In the marshal's manor.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhu Rong. His words echoed in their minds like a bell!
His breathing was rapid, his fists were clenched tightly, and his expression was excited!
At this moment!
They felt as if a volcano was about to erupt from their hearts!
Zhu Rong's words had hit the DNA in everyone's bones!
He exploded!
"Good!"
"What a great Big Ming!"
"What a good way to say that the mountains and rivers illuminated by the sun and moon are all Great Ming's territory!”
Chang Yuchun slapped his thigh and shouted. His face was flushed red with excitement as if he was drunk.
"Great Ming Empire!"
"The sun, moon, mountains, and rivers will forever exist, and the Ming Dynasty will forever exist!”
"The meaning is extraordinary. There's nothing more suitable than this!”
Xu Da also said excitedly, strongly agreeing with the name 'Ming'.
"Great Ming is so big that it's unparalleled in the world!"
"The name of Great Ming will never be destroyed!"
"These two sentences simply express my enjoyment of the new Imperium!”
"The Ming Empire is incomparably domineering!"
Li Shan Zhang stroked his beard and nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice.
Other than Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, Li Shan Chang, and Tang He, all the other officials agreed with him. They were very satisfied with the name 'Ming'.
It could be said to be a unanimous vote!
"Hahaha, looks like everyone is very satisfied with the name 'Ming'.”
"I'm also very satisfied!"
"It's settled!"
"Let's call it the Great Ming Empire!"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that everyone was satisfied, so he didn't waste any more time and directly made the decision.
He couldn't be more satisfied with the name of the country proposed by his son!
" Oh oh oh!!!"
"Long live the Ming Empire!"
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live! Hooray! Long live you!"
After the name of the country was confirmed, all the civil and military officials cheered excitedly. This meant that a brand new empire was about to be established!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the excited ministers and did not stop them.
He could understand the mood of the officials.
The new dynasty was coming, and they would all be the founding heroes of the country, and they would all obtain a certain amount of glory and wealth.
After cheering for a long time, everyone finally calmed down.
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang discussed the official system of the Ming Empire with everyone.
It was decided to establish the Ministry of Central Affairs, which was divided into the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of War, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Works.
Later, the Ducha Yuan was set up to supervise the civil and military officials.
The local government set up Chengxuan Administrative Commissioner Department, mention punishment according to the judge department and so on.
The discussion lasted until very late. Under the suggestions of everyone, the framework of an empire gradually took shape.
......
4th day of the first lunar month.
According to the calculations of the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor, this was an auspicious day to ascend the throne.
Auspicious clouds bloomed in the sky, and there were thousands of auspicious colors. A beautiful scene that was rarely seen in a hundred years appeared, as if the heavens were celebrating the birth of the Ming Empire.
Outside Jinling City, on Mount Zhijin.
A huge altar stood at the peak of the mountain, and a huge cauldron was placed in the middle.
The table in front of it was filled with grain, pigs, cattle, sheep, and other livestock offerings.
Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a Five-clawed Golden Dragon Robe, a Five-clawed Golden Dragon Crown, and Five-clawed Golden Dragon Boots. He brought the civil and military officials to the foot of Mount Zhijin, preparing to worship the heavens and ascend the throne.
Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He and other civil and military ministers.
Zhu Wei, Zhu Biao and other princes.
Ma Xiuying and other wives and concubines.
And all the troops in Jin Ling City.
All of them were gathered here, and their faces were filled with excitement!
Today!
They were about to witness history!
Zhu Rong was more excited than everyone else present because no one knew this dynasty better than him. It could be said to be the strongest dynasty in history!
No marriage, no compensation, no submission, no tribute, the emperor guards the gate, the king dies for the country!
Every Emperor of the Ming Empire had done it!
Although not every Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a wise ruler, there had never been an Emperor who went against this sentence!
Under everyone's gaze.
Zhu Yuanzhang held the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Bowl and stepped on the Sky Ascension Stairs, walking towards the altar step by step.
Walking up to the altar, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his Five-clawed Golden Dragon Bowl and looked up at the sky.
"Today, Zhu Yuanzhang kowtows to the heavens and earth, the mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon, and the tombs of the ancestors!”
"The Mengyuan Tartars have been in the Central Plains for more than a hundred years!”
"The people of the world are complaining and living in misery!”
"Only Zhu Yuanzhang will inherit the will of heaven and follow the hearts of the people. He will eliminate the heroes of the north and south, expel the scourge of a hundred years, and restore the glory of our Han family!”
"On the fourth day of the first month, set up an altar on the top of Mount Zhijin to announce to the emperor of heaven and earth that he will establish the Ming Dynasty and establish the Hongwu Dynasty!”
After saying that.
Zhu Yuanzhang bowed deeply to the sky and sprinkled the wine in his hand on the ground to complete the ritual.
"Long live my emperor!!”
"Long live my emperor!!”
"Long live my emperor!!”
At the foot of Mount Zhijin, all the officials, soldiers, princes, and concubines knelt down to pay their respects and shouted long live!
At this point!
The Ming Empire was established, and it opened in the first year of Hongwu!
......
Imperial Palace, Fengtian Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne, and the civil and military officials stood on his left and right. Everyone's face was filled with excitement.
This was the first court meeting of the Great Ming Empire. Everyone had a strong sense of novelty and a deep sense of pride!
"Everyone, although the new dynasty has been established, we cannot relax.”
"The country has yet to be unified and the Yuan Court is still eyeing the north covetously.”
"We still need to work together to expel the Tartars, restore discipline, and return peace to the people of the north!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's majestic voice rang out in the hall, reminding everyone.
"We will obey the emperor's orders!"
"We will do our best until we die!”
The ministers bowed and accepted the order.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, when the country was founded, the King of Yuan Ting Liang, Chahan Timur, sent people to congratulate us, hoping to marry into our Ming Empire.”
Li Shan Chang stood up and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Marriage? What marriage?"
"I, Zhu Yuanzhang's daughter, will not marry these barbarians!”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and refused without thinking.
He was filled with hatred towards the Yuan Court and there would definitely be a battle between them in the future. How could he possibly push his daughter into the fire pit?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the other party does not want to marry my Great Ming Princess, but wants to marry his daughter to my Great Ming Prince.”
"Right now, the internal strife of the Yuan Court is endless. Chahan Timur, Kuokuo Timur, and Dashi Badulu, Boro Timur are fighting for power.”
"Chahan Timur hopes to use the power of our Great Ming to eliminate Tashbadulu and Borotimur, and monopolize the entire Yuanting.”
Lee Shan Chang quickly explained the situation.
"So that's how it is. You want to sell your daughter!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he suddenly understood and felt a little ashamed. However, for the benefit of the Ming Empire, he had to consider it.
"Dear ministers, do you think this marriage is related?”Zhu Yuanzhang asked everyone.
"Your Majesty, I believe that this marriage can be made.”
"Firstly, our Ming Empire has just been established and has been fighting for years. The interior has long been empty, and the soldiers and people are tired.”
"In-laws can stabilize the Yuan Court and give us a chance to catch our breath.”
"Secondly, we can use our in-laws to send a vanguard force into Northern Yuan under the banner of helping Chahan Timur. We can plant a nail and prepare for the Northern Expedition in the future.”
Liu Bowen stood up to explain the benefits of marriage and suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang agree to the marriage.
"Reporting to Lord Liu, Lord Liu is right. This lowly subject agrees!”Lee Shan Chang naturally understood the benefits of marriage and quickly stood up to support the proposal.
Since the two big shots had agreed, the officials below naturally did not object and all agreed.
"In that case, I agree."
"Which prince do you think we should marry?”
Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that the marriage was not bad and was very beneficial to the Ming Empire.
This was definitely the Second Prince!
Zhu Xiong thought to himself. As someone who had transmigrated and was familiar with history, he naturally knew who the candidate for the prince was.
The daughter of Chahan Timur and the sister of Kuokuo Timur was the prototype of Zhao Min in the story of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre in Zhu Rong's previous life.
It was said that she was very beautiful and was called the number one beauty in the capital. Second Brother was lucky!
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is definitely not suitable.”
"Only the second prince and the third prince are suitable.”
"This humble subject thinks that the Third Prince is more suitable because the Third Prince has outstanding military achievements and is famous. The marriage between the Third Prince and him can further highlight the sincerity of our Ming Empire and win the trust of Chahan Timur.”
"This humble subject agrees!"
Li Shan Chang and Liu Bowen both agreed that Zhu Rong was the most suitable candidate for marriage.
"Alright, then I'll choose Third Brother!"
"This kid is extremely talented. Marry him another concubine and give birth to more outstanding descendants for my Zhu family!”
Like the two of them, Zhu Yuanzhang was also leaning toward Zhu Rong.
Thus, he directly made the decision.
At the side.
Zhu Xi, who was originally eating melons, was instantly stunned!
No?
Wasn't this Chahan Timur's daughter, Kuokuo Timur's sister, the concubine of his second brother Zhu Xi?
How did it become his?
Good fellow!
Did I just eat a melon and eat it on myself!？
