Chapter 95

"The first emperor suddenly collapsed and belonged to the five elements. On the last order of the emperor Daheng, I joined Zongyi, and the civil and military officials inside and outside, as well as the elderly, military and people joined in a word to persuade me to advance. As for repeatedly refusing to receive Fu, I would like to tell Heaven and earth, that is, the emperor's throne."

"Long live my emperor!"

On July 27, the seventh year of the apocalypse, he Xie ascended the throne in the Huangji hall, which was 27 days earlier than the original history.

According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the new year's number should be used when the new monarch ascends the throne. The cabinet ministers put forward four proposals on the title of the year, and Huang Liji, the head of the cabinet, asked the emperor to set the year on the spot.

These four years are Qiansheng, Xingfu, Xianjia and Chongzhen. Qiansheng is the tallest and Chongzhen is the lowest key.

He Xie still uses the year of Chongzhen.

On the third day of August in the seventh year of the apocalypse, Yan Peiwei, the imperial censor of the capital of the Metropolitan Police Academy, impeached Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai and Zhang ruitu of the cabinet for embezzlement, perverting the law and forming a party for personal gain. The emperor was so angry that he ordered a thorough investigation. On the same day, the emperor called sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan to Beijing, which meant to revive them

On August 14, Huang Liji and three other cabinet ministers were deposed. On the same day, the emperor met sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi and Han Kuang in the palace and had a good talk.

The next day, sun Chengzong accepted Ding Baiying as his adopted daughter.

On August 23, the emperor and his officials gathered in the Huangji hall. The emperor proposed Yan Peiwei, Xu Guangqi and Han Kuang to join the cabinet. Sun Chengzong supervised Liaodong and Yuan Chonghuan praised the painting. The ministers reconsidered.

On August 25th, Li kuilong, the left deputy governor of the capital, impeached the tea merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. They were so desperate that the people could not make a living. The emperor ordered Wei Zhongxian and Wang tiqian, the East Hall's supervisors, to patrol the south of the Yangtze River and give the Shang Fang a sword to investigate the lawlessness.

This Li kuilong is one of the five eunuchs of the eunuch party. All civil and military officials naturally know that this is the scene in which the emperor wants to raise military salaries for sun Chengzong. He is short of money, so he directed and acted by himself.

However, the Donglin Party has not revived like the original history. No one in the Jiangnan tea merchant Dynasty dares to speak for them.

On the same day, the Ministry of rites asked for a grand marriage. The emperor refused on the grounds of mourning. The next day, the ministers asked again. The Emperor allowed it and took Lu Xiangsheng as the candidate.

On August 26, the emperor promoted Shen Lian, a thousand families of royal guards, as the commander of Nanzhen Fu division, and Lu Jianxing and Pei Lun as the commander of Beizhen Fu division. He also presented Lu Wenzhao, the late commander of Beizhen Fu division, the commander of royal guards, the Marquis and the posthumous Title of martyr.

On August 28, the first deputy Yan Peiwei impeached Cui Chengxiu, governor of Zuo Du, Wu Chunfu, Minister of the Ministry of industry, Tian Ji, Ni Wenhuan, Taichang Qing, and Li kuilong, deputy governor of Zuo Du, who formed a party for personal gain, perverted the law, and sold officials and Knights. A total of 12 major crimes were reconsidered by the ministers.

The emperor was furious and ordered the royal guards to conduct a thorough investigation together with the third division.

These five people are Wei Zhongxian's followers, known as the "five tigers". At this time, Wei Zhongxian is copying his family and destroying his family everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, causing a bloody storm. The eunuchs have no leaders and can't resist the sudden change of wind direction and the overwhelming pressure.

On the third day of September, after verification of the charges of "five tigers", he was sentenced to confiscation of family property and executed.

When the five tigers were destroyed, the officials were excited. Over the next period of time, the voice of impeaching Wei Zhongxian in the court rose one wave after another, but they were all suppressed by the emperor.

On the ninth day of September, Qian Jiazheng, a Gongsheng of Shaoxing, impeached Wei Zhongxian on the top ten crimes, saying that he "sold out the bamboo of Nanshan, failed to record his traitors, and solved the waves of the East Sea, which was difficult to wash his sins".

The emperor was furious: "how dare thieves harm my virtuous officials?"

So he ordered Qian Jiazheng to be expelled from Beijing and never used.

After this incident, the officials no longer impeached Wei Zhongxian, but began to squeeze the living space of the eunuch party in the court.

All those who impeach the guards of the factory will be kept by the emperor. Only those who are eunuchs in the court hall will be paid attention to by the emperor. As soon as they came and went, the officials found out the emperor's mind, so by the end of September, Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party, which had been painstakingly established in the court and the army, was completely removed.

But his foundation in the East Hall remained intact.

On the first day of October, the emperor chose Ding Baiying as the empress.

On the ninth day of October, there was a civil uprising in Jiangnan. The emperor used sun chuanting and sent him to suppress the civil unrest and appease Jiangnan.

On November 15, Wei Zhongxian returned to Beijing, escorted the scribe and paid 16 million taels of silver. There are countless antiques and treasures.

On November 16, the emperor reprimanded Wei Zhongxian for his bad work, which had provoked a popular uprising, removed him from his title, fined him a year's salary, and ordered him to repent. And kill Wang tiqian to thank Jiangnan and reassure the people.

On November 23, the emperor promoted sun chuanting to governor of Jiangnan.

At this time, there was a competition among Zhejiang party, Chu party, Wu party and other forces in the hall. The royal guards were completely separated from the East Hall. Pei Lun, the commander of the royal guards, scolded Wei Zhongxian on the spot and spread all over the world.

However, this does not mean that Wei Zhongxian has lost power since then. The East Hall is still a behemoth, but the power of the East Hall has completely shrunk back from the dynasty hall and the border army.

On the fifth day of December, the emperor got married and Ding Baiying was crowned Queen.

In January of the first year of Chongzhen, Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the cabinet, presented his works such as the complete book of agricultural politics, the essentials of fire attack and the method of making gunpowder, and presented sweet potatoes. The emperor was as happy as a treasure. He ordered him to do his best to supervise the construction of artillery, and enabled a large number of foreign missionaries to join the firearms foundry Bureau as a great craftsman, generous with heavy silver rewards. And ordered the Ministry of household to promote sweet potato planting in Shaanxi and Shandong.

In the same month, empress Ding was pregnant. Emperor Kai Enke took a wide range of scholars from all over the world.

In May, there were continuous disasters throughout Shaanxi, severe drought and insect disasters occurred, the seedlings were scorched, and starvation victims were everywhere.

Ma maocai, a patrol officer in Shaanxi Province, played "prepare for Chen's hunger", saying that "Huang AI's land is bare, and there are a few people in the countryside; White bones, green phosphorus, like ghosts crying every night... "

In June, Wang Jiayin and Wang Jiayin of Fugu rioted and occupied Huanglong Mountain. Then king Zuoguo of Yichuan, Gao Yingxiang of Ansai, Zhang cunmeng of Luochuan, monk Wang of Yanchuan and Wang Daliang of Hannan responded and shouted, "why not steal and die instead of sitting and starving!"

The civil unrest soon started a prairie fire, and the flames of war burned all over Shaanxi!

The emperor appointed Lu Xiangsheng as governor of Shaanxi, allocated 3 million liang of silver, ordered him to give full relief to the disaster, suppress the civil uprising, and there was no amnesty for the first villains.

In September, during the great victory in Shaanxi, mob leaders such as Gao Yingxiang, Wang Jiayin and Wang ziyong died in the war.

In December, when the Jin people attacked Kou bianguan, sun Chengzong took yuan Chonghuan, man GUI, Zu dashou and others as generals to resist the enemy outside Ningyuan city. Due to sun Chengzong's caution and hesitation, he missed a good opportunity to defeat the enemy. On hearing this, the emperor reprimanded sun Chengzong and proposed to set up a military aircraft office outside the cabinet, which was opposed by all officials.

On the eighth day of January in the second year of Chongzhen, empress Ding gave birth to the prince, named Zhu ciheng, which was celebrated all over the country.

In April of the same year, Zhang Xianzhong gathered eighteen villages of farmers in Dingbian county to launch a civil uprising and was named the "eight kings". Li Zicheng responded in Mizhi County. At that time, the war in Shaanxi resumed. They coerced the refugees all the way and gathered 30000 people.

The emperor was very angry. As the governor of Shaanxi, Lu Xiangsheng failed to respond at the first time. Firstly, the memorial was reported by the cabinet at all levels and missed the best opportunity to eliminate civil unrest. Secondly, Yan Peiwei, the chief assistant of the cabinet, did not know the military affairs and failed to pay attention to it. Thirdly, the emperor ordered Yan Peiwei to resign and mentioned the establishment of a military aircraft office. No one dared to object.
