Chapter 97: Unification of the world and enthronement
After spending a sleepless night, Hao Shuai got up early the next morning to practice martial arts.
After breakfast, Hao Shuai called his men and asked about the situation in the capital. After learning that the capital had returned to normal and the merchants were open for business, Hao Shuai nodded with satisfaction. At the same time, Yao Qisheng, Yu Chenglong and other officials from Jinling
Have already set off for the capital.
As for Long'er and Dongfang Bai, who were pacifying the south, they left 200,000 robots to stabilize the situation in the south and continued to advance westward. After preparing to capture the western provinces, they also set off for the capital.
After listening to the report from his men, Hao Shuai ordered them to lead troops to continue cleaning up the remaining Manchu forces in the northwest and northeast. He mainly ordered them to capture the so-called eight imperial merchants after occupying Jincheng, leaving no one alive.
The Eight Imperial Merchants refer to the businessmen of Jin Province Fan Yongdou, Wang Denggou, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dada, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang and Huang Yunfa.
Fan Yongdou and other eight wealthy imperial merchants were, according to the present view, veritable traitors. Long before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they often traveled inside and outside the customs.
At a time when the Ming Dynasty's politics were becoming increasingly corrupt and social unrest, merchants' unique keen sense of smell enabled them to see the rise of the Qing Dynasty and their ambition to unify the world. Therefore, in addition to normal trade, they secretly transported military supplies to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and provided various supplies within the customs.
Gather intelligence and engage in political business.
When Hao Shuai read history books in the past, he hated these traitors even more than the Manchus. The Manchus massacred the Han people for the benefit of their own nation and to consolidate their rule, while these eight imperial merchants were simply for the sake of
Selling one's own nation for money is even more detestable.
That's why Hao Shuai asked his men to uproot it and eradicate it!
According to Hao Shuai's order, the army set out soon. One week later, they occupied Jin Province. According to Hao Shuai's order, all the eight imperial merchants were confiscated and exterminated, and a total of thirty million taels of silver and a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings were obtained.
wait.
Two weeks later, the army eliminated Wang Puchen who was entrenched in Shaanxi Province. Officials such as Yao Qisheng and Dongfang Bai and other women also arrived in the capital to take over all political affairs and began to prepare for Hao Shuai's coronation ceremony.
A month later, Hao Shuai's army wiped out all the remaining forces of the Qing Dynasty and occupied the entire territory of the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, they attacked north and annihilated the Tsarist Russian army, which was greedy for land and planned to take advantage of the civil strife in the Qing Dynasty to come over and eat for free.
Even Wanwan Island was defeated by Shi Lang's naval attack. Hao Shuai spared the Zheng clan members on the island for Zheng Chenggong's sake, but they all had to move inland.
At this point, Hao Shuai officially unified the country, and his subordinates also formally submitted memorials hoping that Hao Shuai would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
When Hao Shuai opened the memorial sent by the Ministry of Etiquette and saw that it was densely packed with the enthronement process that the Ministry of Etiquette had prepared for a month, Hao Shuai's face turned dark on the spot.
If it was done according to the procedures of the Ministry of Rites, it would not be possible to get it done in one day. How could Hao Shuai, who didn't like trouble, agree to it? He immediately rejected the memorial and asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare it according to Hao Shuai's request.
…
Three days later, the auspicious day
In the early morning of this day, the sky was clear and crisp, and a ray of golden sunshine was like the sky and the earth opening for the first time, covering the ancient capital of the Three Dynasties with a layer of golden light.
Hao Shuai, dressed in rich attire, led hundreds of civil and military officials to the Temple of Heaven to worship heaven, officially proclaimed himself emperor, named the country Zhonghua, made the capital the capital, and reorganized it into the first year of Zhonghua.
After the sacrifice to heaven was completed, the group returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Hao Shuai, wearing a dragon robe and a nine-dragon crown, slowly came to the dragon chair symbolizing the throne and sat down.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The moment Hao Shuai sat down, the civil and military officials who had been lined up on both sides immediately bowed together and chanted Long Live, led by Yao Qisheng and Yu Chenglong.
Originally, the request of the Ministry of Rites was to kneel down to congratulate, but Hao Shuai rejected it and issued an edict specifically requiring that from now on, everyone only needs to kneel to the sky and kneel to their parents, and there is no need to kneel to anyone else.
Hao Shuai did not want the people under his rule to kneel down all the time, because if they knelt for a long time, they would easily be unable to stand up.
"Everyone is safe!" At this moment, Hao Shuai looked at the hundreds of officials bending down to congratulate him. He was still a little excited in his heart, but on the surface he still remained calm. After looking around, he said majestically.
After Bai Guanping died, the female officer next to Hao Shuai took out an imperial edict and read it out in front of everyone.
This is an imperial edict ordering Dongfang Bai, Long Er, A Ke, Xiao Shuang'er, Jianning, Qiqi, Yilin and Thirteenth Aunt to be concubines. Originally, Hao Shuai planned to make Dongfang Bai the Queen of the East Palace and Long Er.
She is the Queen of the West Palace, and the others are noble concubines.
However, Dongfang Bai and Long Er were worried that they would upset the other sisters and affect the stability of the imperial court, so they actively refused.
Therefore, Hao Shuai named them all noble concubines. As for whether it is inappropriate to do so?
After Hao Shuai directly demoted an official from the Ministry of Rites who wrote a letter of objection back to his hometown, no one had any objections anymore.
As for why Hao Shuai didn't take Qilanlian, the others, and Bulma over, it was mainly because they all lived in modern times, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to accept Hao Shuai's feudal life for a while.
As for the Thirteenth Aunt and Yi Lin, it was much easier to handle. The Thirteenth Aunt herself was from the Qing Dynasty (although it was the Qing Dynasty more than a hundred years later), so after Hao Shuai took action and apologized several times, he begged for mercy.
I forgave Hao Shuai.
Yilin was even better at it. She took Dongfang Bai and confessed her life experience to her. Then at the request of her only biological sister and her lover, Yilin obediently followed Hao Shuai and the others, and was attracted by Hao Shuai.
One night, Shuai personally came to check on her health and gave her her favorite Buddhist scripture.
After that, the female official read out a second imperial edict. Because the new dynasty followed the Ming Dynasty's system and established a cabinet and six ministries, this edict conferred Yao Qisheng and Yu Chenglong as cabinet bachelors and made them lead the cabinet.
When the imperial edict is read out, the entire enthronement ceremony will be completed.

Moreover, the emperor did not like using eunuchs and sent all the eunuchs in the palace out of the Forbidden City.
The main reason why Hao Shuai didn't like eunuchs was that he thought they were too inhumane, so he ordered not to recruit new eunuchs in the future. At the same time, Hao Shuai opened a textile factory outside the palace and gathered all the eunuchs in the palace and sent them to
Work as workers in textile factories and let them support themselves.
…
After proclaiming himself emperor, Hao Shuai, who thought he could live the life of a faint king, faced the newly peaceful world and was forced by his own conscience to handle political affairs with the help of hundreds of officials.
First of all, the first thing is to send officials to measure the world's fields, take the land into state ownership, count the world's population, and implement the land policy that was previously implemented in Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangsu provinces nationwide.
Secondly, there is the issue of education~~~~~
Once again, we are fighting against bandits, bullies and unscrupulous landlords~~~
…
These policies and decisions were promulgated and implemented. Although with the help of Dongfang Bai and other civil and military officials, Hao Shuai was still too busy. He didn't even have time to go to the big quilt that Hao Shuai had always longed for.
accomplish.
Fortunately, Hao Shuai had previously trained a large number of grassroots officials in the three provinces of Zhejiang, otherwise Hao Shuai's policies might not have been implemented well.
Finally, one day, Hao Shuai took the opportunity to have a banquet with all the ministers, got all the white girls from Dongfang drunk, and carried them into the super big bed specially built by Hao Shuai, realizing his dream all along.
The next day, Hao Shuai rubbed his sore waist and found the Red Queen, asking her to look like him to handle government affairs. He was afraid of being settled by Dongfang Bai's Qiu Queen, so he ducked out of the way and left the Luding World without pausing the Luding.
