Chapter 267 Carry

e"b Ying Yi nodded: "Since Ming Dynasty has died, the new world should have a new atmosphere. Take care of yourself and remember not to bring in bad habits from the past. "

Then he said: "The outer city of the Forbidden City is also guarded by the Jinyi Guards. Wang Yisheng, you will be responsible for the defense of the inner palace."

Wang Yisheng cupped his fists and said, "Here!"

"Firstly, the eunuchs and maids in the palace are all under military control. Firstly, the clan members and concubines of the former dynasty are all subject to normal routines. Harassment, beating and scolding are prohibited. Firstly, the provision of supplies follows the old rules for the time being. Anyone who violates the rules will be beheaded."

Ying Yi sets the tone.

"Here." Wang Yisheng bowed and accepted the order and left.

Finally, Ying Yi said: "Hurry up and send the news here to Kaifeng. Also, have someone prepare meals and send them here."

"Yes, my lord."

Wang Yisheng and Tian Hongyu retreated.

There were only two people in the palace, Ying Yi and Emperor Chongzhen. After a while, soldiers and palace maids came, set up tables and chairs, and served tea.

Ying Yi waved Xianza away and said to Emperor Chongzhen, "Brother Zhu, please."

Emperor Chongzhen looked much calmer at this time. He didn't say anything after hearing the words and just took his seat. In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, one old and the other new, they sat opposite each other.

Ying Yi poured two cups of tea, pushed one cup to Emperor Chongzhen, and drank the other cup himself. He took a sip and said calmly: "Looking back on today last year, it was probably at this time, about April. I was just a humble person, content in the mountains and fields. Brother Zhu lived in the temple and worked hard. Who could have expected this moment? Today, are you and I drinking together?"

Zhu Youjian held the tea cup, his hands trembling slightly: "Are you laughing at me?"

Ying Yi laughed and shook his head: "Brother Zhu is not a hero, but this is not a reason for anyone to dare to laugh. How many heroes have there been in the Xia Dynasty for thousands of years? Count on your fingers. In one dynasty for three hundred years, ten generations of emperors , except for the emperors of the country, all were young heroes. The foundation of Hongwu ended with Brother Zhu, which was not a crime of war. It was actually the number of days. After the death of Qin II, the Han Dynasty was also divided into east and west, which lasted only four hundred years. In the following dynasties, all dynasties , are all the same. For example, a tree has birth, old age, sickness and death, so does a dynasty."

"After all, he was defeated in my hands. I am the king of the country's subjugation." Emperor Chongzhen said solemnly.

Ying Yi nodded, then shook his head: "You have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and you don't know the sufferings of the people. You may know it, but you don't know how to distinguish it. You are bullied by the civil and military forces, and you have no means to use it. As a result, bandits are rampant and the people are displaced. "The Tartars are knocking at the pass, and the people are mourning. You want to turn the tide, but you don't have the ability. If Brother Zhu could clarify the world, there would be no meeting today."

He added: "I sent a message saying that the Zhu family has lost the world and cannot be the leader of all the Xia. Brother Zhu, don't think that this is just a show of words. It is what I mean in my heart. Brother Zhu cannot clarify the world, and the Ming Dynasty cannot protect the country and the people. I You should replace it."

The two chatted and talked a lot. There may also be arguments that end up late at night.

Ying Yi stood up and said: "I am not tyrannical. Brother Zhu, don't worry about me deliberately attacking the clan. Of course, the investigation must be carried out, and the privileges must be banned. All you have to do is follow the law. What should I do? I won't do it. Kill them with force."

He said slowly: "If you want to embarrass Brother Zhu, if Brother Zhu can do anything, I will let you go south, and what will you do to me? They are not a threat at all. I respect Hongwu and Yongle and treat each other with courtesy. Brother Zhu Just relax and wait for arrangements."

Then he called out: "Come here, send Brother Zhu to rest."

...

The so-called king's flag changes at the top of the city. To the people of the capital, this is probably the case. There have always been few people who lost the capital without fighting, and this was the case for the Ming Dynasty. This change was extremely smooth. The large army entering the city did not disturb the people. Although the martial law was strictly enforced, it also made the people feel at ease.

After all the measures to calm the people were carried out, the people in the city realized that this important place in the capital had indeed changed its owner.

That man's surname was Ying, and he was originally the lord of Henan. For more than a year, he defeated the bandits and defeated the Eastern captives, and his majesty was astonishing.

In the past few days, there were no other changes in the capital except that the Jinyi Guards raided the mansions of former officials to find out corruption and perversion of the law.

The sun still rises, and the people are still the people.

Seven days later, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to abdicate and announced the death of the Ming Dynasty. Following this, government orders were issued one after another.

Many laws on agriculture, commerce, taxation, education, etc. were implemented in the capital in an orderly manner following the example of Kaifeng.

At this point, martial law was lifted in the capital.

In the Qianqing Palace, Ying Yi was sitting on a stool beside the dragon chair. Under the steps, there were Yan Ermei, Zhu Bingkun, Zheng Wu, Tian Hongyu and other confidants, both civil and military, as well as ministers and nobles from the previous dynasty. Of course, as emperor and courtiers, these civil and military nobles from the previous dynasty are no longer the privileged class. If he had to make the final arrangement, he would have been kicked out of the palace long ago.

"My lord has destroyed the Ming Dynasty, so I should replace him. I invite my lord to take a seat and choose a day to ascend the throne to bring peace to the world!" Yan Ermei, dressed in a brocade robe, stepped out and said seriously.

When Ying Yi heard this, he laughed and shook his head, saying: "This is not a good opportunity."

After a pause: "The world is uncertain, so I will not ascend to the top. Now there are only two places in Hebei and Henan, and most of China has not yet been unified."

Yan Ermei bowed and said: "My lord, you are wrong. The previous Emperor Chongzhen has decreed to abdicate, and the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed. My lord, it is time for us to ascend to the throne to rectify the world."

Ying Yi laughed: "You can't worry about it."

Yan Ermei pondered for a moment, then stepped back and said, "My lord wants to be in the world before he ascends to the throne. In this case, he can advance to the title of king."

Ying Yi smiled and said, "Yes."

Then he said: "So I named him after Xia. Since the three generations, all the people of Xia have been mixed together in Xia. If I want to establish a dynasty for eternity, I should also end up with Xia. I will call him the 'King of Xia'!"

The tone is set.

The Xia nationalities have formed a relatively unified country from tribal alliances in three dynasties in ancient times, starting with Daxia. This summer is not that summer, it is not the Western Xia of Dangxiang, but the Great Xia of Qi after King Yu. Starting from Xia and ending in Xia, Ying Yi wants to establish an eternal dynasty, which should be taken as a metaphor.

After ascending to the throne as King of Xia, when he ascends to the throne, this country will become the Great Xia Empire.

Yan Ermei waited and understood immediately.

As early as before the Northern Expedition, Yan Ermei discussed this with Zheng Yunzhi, Sun Xiucai and others. They proposed to use Ying Yi's "Ying" surname to name him Qin and inherit the fate of the Xia Dynasty, but Ying Yi rejected it. Although Qin is good, he is far from what Ying Yi wants. Hence the name "Xia".

The walk to the court was just too long, and Yiying had already decided in private.

The name of the country was established, and then the Manchu Dynasty paid homage to the King of Xia and decided to choose a date to officially ascend the throne. Then, they talked about some state affairs.

Ying Yi asked: "When can the Henan governor and the imperial envoy arrive in Beijing?"

Tian Hongyu came out and said: "Your Majesty, Henan Province Governor Zheng Yunzhi and Imperial Envoy Sun Wen have arrived in Baoding a few days ago and will arrive in the capital tomorrow at the latest."

Ying Yi nodded slightly: "Okay."

Then he asked: "Did the previous dynasty ever inspect the civil and military officials?"

Tian Hongyu said: "Your Excellency, the inspection was completed yesterday. Everything has been recorded in writing and can be arranged according to the law."
