Beiyang new warlord

The next moment, nearly 3000 courtiers who were newly appointed or left behind by the big waves fell to the ground in neat and fanatical shouts.

"Long live the Regent! Long live!"

This political show was really effective. On this day, Mao Jue felt sensitively that the officials under him became closer and took more initiative. In addition, he played the "approachable" Mingjun, the new Ming Dynasty. In the court, he, the king, and his subordinates, had a much better relationship with each other.

Although it is not perfect, like Liaozhen is so instigated, at least he has thrown away Chongzhen, a suspicious patient, by a few blocks!The new Ming court, at least as a whole, can now meet any challenge from foreign enemies.

After drinking a few more glasses, Mao Jue was in a happy mood and staggered a little. Under the retinue of his personal guards, he staggered back to Chengqian Palace.

On the dragon bed of the girl killer wrapped in a light veil, the beauty is still the same, but the complicated dresses of the concubine have been thrown aside, and there are still a few books scattered on the bed, hugging the pillows, Zhu Yuhui no longer knows when, The kitten fell into such a deep sleep.

Mao Jue is not an eminent monk, he hasn't seen through the pleasure of the flesh, and he still likes young and beautiful loli, but he also has a heart for beauty. Naturally, Mao Jue didn't want to disturb such a warm scene, and the expression appeared on his face. With a warm smile, his voice lowered a lot, and the heavy python robe of the regent king was gently put on the side of the bed. He quietly lay on the edge of the spacious dragon bed with his arms on his head.

"Good night, my princess!"

A gust of hot air hit Chang Ping's ears, watching her turn around with her little mouth tapped, Mao Jue also yawned lightly, and closed her eyes contentedly.

The first night in the palace was spent in this silence.

But life always leaves some surprises, early in the morning, this time it was Mao Jue's turn to warm his ears, he opened his eyes in a daze, and the small face in front of him shrank back immediately with a flushed face.

Although he is no longer the first brother, the newlyweds are still beautiful. With a smile, Mao Jue stretched out his hand and scratched Chang Ping's little nose again.

"Are you awake? Lazy?"

"Yesterday we were in the bridal chamber. In the next few days, you are going to lay eggs and have a baby!"

Who would have thought that this girl would pick up her little nose angrily.

"My lord, don't lie to my concubine! It's not like this to give birth to a baby!"

"Oh! Didn't they sleep together and have a baby, or what?"

Interested, Mao Jue teased him with a smile. Who knew that this girl had a serious face, but she actually took the initiative to crawl over and ride on him.

"This is how you can have a baby!"

The last layer of yellow brocade that wrapped Lingling's body was also untied, and it was thrown on the ground in the air, and the green but sweet fruit was truly displayed in front of Mao Jue.

This time it was his turn to be stupid. Under Mao Jue's dumbfounded eyes, Chang Ping untied his skirt in a jerky but familiar way, exposing his rather robust body, followed by soft Xiaozui gently kissed his ear, and then kissed again first, the touch between flesh and flesh, the feeling of passion, made Mao Jue almost cry out in comfort.

But at the same time feeling refreshed, Mao Jue couldn't help feeling uneasy and depressed.

How do you feel about marrying a female driver?

And it's the type of old driver!

As the biggest political event in September, the wedding between the Prince Regent and Princess Changping has attracted almost everyone's attention. However, few people paid attention to the earthquake-level political event that happened a few days later.

The crown prince has ascended the throne!

This should be regarded as the least grand emperor's enthronement in the history of the Ming Dynasty. On the platform of Chongzhen's willingness to summon the ministers, the prince Zhu Cihong was put on a dragon robe and accepted the symbolic kneeling of the six nine ministers.

Then it was over! Mao Jue didn't even bow his body, and participated in the enthronement ceremony with a blank face. Immediately afterwards, the emperor Zhu Cihong, who had changed his identity, was brought back to Donggong Chunfang. enter school.

No matter how you look at this ascension to the throne, it looks like Mao Jue married Changping, and brought her natal family a face-saving gift along the way, which made Daxing Emperor Chongzhen feel better, and he was no longer the last emperor of Ming Dynasty.

It's just that everyone knows that the emperor Zhu Cihong is just like Yang You, Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty who was established by Emperor Gaozu Li Yuanli of the Tang Dynasty. The local officials in the three provinces were promoted because of Mao Jue's promotion, and he was supported by the huge military and financial resources of Liaodong. Although the situation of the world changing hands was not visible to people with a discerning eye, at least in the north, Mao's rule had stabilized.

Of course, there are still people who are so closed-eyed. On the first day of October, that day when everyone relaxes, the slow and snail-like Nanming Division finally arrived in the capital!

Chapter 6 Eleven. Slap in the face in court

It is really the slowest mission in history. In more than three months, all the masters Mao Jue recruited from Jiangnan have been officials for more than a month, and this snail mission finally crawled slowly to the gate of the capital. .

No way, all political actions of the Ming Dynasty revolved around party struggles. The Nanming court reorganized in Nanjing has inherited this "excellent tradition" very well. In terms of attitudes towards the North, the court changed every day, every order changed three times, and even There are constant disputes within the Donglin Party. Some believe that Mao Jue should take a tough attitude and force him to submit in exchange for the greatest political achievements. Advocating Huairou, every time the court meeting is over, the content of the negotiation must be doubled, and even the staff of the mission has changed twice.

Finally, Chen Hongfan, the governor of the capital, and Zuo Maodi, the governor of Anqing, won the party struggle and caught up with Wang Maodi, who was the chief envoy before, in Tancheng County at the junction of Shandong and the Huaihe River. As for the variable, he finally whipped the horse and rushed to the capital city.

But at this time it is already late October, approaching November.

The colorful snow in the sky swayed and fell on the ground, adding a bit of pure white feather gauze to the streets and alleys of the capital. Citizens are still coming and going, shoulder to shoulder.

It's strange to say that after Mao Jue entered the capital, he really didn't care about the people's livelihood and the people's livelihood. He focused on consolidating his power, casting a large-scale net to install cronies, and selecting officials on a large scale. In four months, Surprisingly prospered, even he himself was a little strange.

But it's not surprising. The hero who revived the capital is actually the more than 30 Liaozhen Field Army. They pay two taels of silver a month and never default on it. They can exchange [-] taels for their heads, just like the U.S. troops stationed here and there in later generations In that way, these soldiers from Ziliao town are also used to being extravagant, and when they have money on holiday, they just spend it like water.

If there is consumption, it will drive employment. In addition, Mao Jue cut down those noble eunuchs with great fanfare. No matter the noble landlords or the court are vying to hire people to farm or work. The Chongzhen period was the most terrible The social unemployment rate in China has been wiped out in the past few months. The remaining ones who thanked work are really inferior to the level of lazy people. Professional beggars, the court can’t help it. With a salary, a full meal, and some spare money, the market has naturally become more prosperous.

At the gate, officials from the Ministry of Rituals coldly connected and led them into the city. As they walked, they watched from side to side. Chen Hongfan and Zuo Maodi couldn't help being overjoyed. They were worried that the capital would be destroyed by Li Zicheng. A large sum of tax money was used to restore the capital, but from this point of view, once the capital is returned to the capital, not only will there be no need to increase taxes, but it will be able to make another fortune here.

But the two were overjoyed to receive the imperial palace, but they couldn't help but fade away. Mao Jue also attached great importance to the Southern Envoy. The Chongzhen Dynasty's time-consuming, inefficient, and party-fighting grand court meeting had not been held for a long time. , everyone has something to report to the higher authorities, but today, all the civil and military officials of the court were summoned to the hall. There are now more than 5000 officials in the capital, and the hall cannot fit. .

"There are so many officials in this capital, that Mao Ni is so bold that he dares to serve as an official privately!"

"That is, such a rebellious act must be severely punished!"

Being welcomed by the officials of the capital with extremely unfriendly eyes, the two of them were also full of annoyance, but what annoyed them was not Mao Jue's private appointment of officials, but that there were too many officials.

There are only so many rights in the world, you cut a piece, I cut a piece, and the rest is gone. The two of them are envoys from the Southern Dynasty, and they naturally represent the bureaucrats of Yingtian's faction. Once they welcome Emperor Hongguang to the north, they will occupy the mainstream of the court. , now that there are so many native factions, at that time, it will be inevitable to fight and give up some positions to these capital officials, but up to now, the two of them are still confident about returning to the capital and intimidating Mao Jue.

"Nanshi arrives!"

"Nanshi arrives!"

The eunuchs are finally useful. No one in the entire capital has a sharper and higher voice than them. No wonder Pavarotti’s predecessors in medieval Italy had to eunuch themselves before they came to sing the tenor, wearing the baton one after another. After entering Qianqing Palace, as the two entered, the two rows of civil and military officials on the left and right also turned their heads to look at them.

What annoyed Chen Hongfan and Zuo Maodi was that there was already a person sitting on the dignified dragon chair, and he was wearing a nine-clawed dragon robe and a crown facing the sky, the standard emperor's attire.

"Bold and rebellious! How dare you overstep your clothes, the envoys of the Son of Heaven have come here, so come down quickly!"

I really don't know where these guys got their confidence, just as soon as they went to court, Zuo Maodi was already full of anger, shouting angrily.

The man on the dragon chair was obviously also furious, and slapped the armrest heavily. However, he squinted at the handsome man who was obviously different from the courtiers. , He swallowed the words again.

The prestige at the top has to be supported by the bottom. The civil and military courts all looked at him like they were fools. Zuo Maodi obviously couldn't get off the stage. In his anger, he hurriedly tore away the imperial decree and read it loudly. recite it.

"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor's edict said: You are in the middle of the palace, the first emperor has no virtue, and the disaster will fall to the Ming Dynasty, the capital will fall, and the ancestral mausoleum will be ashamed! Alas!"

"Fortunately, there is the Holy Son of Heaven, after the Wanli Emperor, who is wise and powerful, wise and benevolent, gathers people's hearts, and guards the old capital! Keep my Great Ming Society alive!"

"Now that the capital has been recovered, the Holy Son of Heaven is overjoyed. Immediately, he will lead all civil and military officials to the north to return the old capital to recover the artifacts, making Mao Jue, the king of Liao, rebellious and rebellious. He sits on the capital and does not save it. As soon as he cut his throne and made him commit crimes and meritorious deeds, he led the army to chase down the intruders immediately, otherwise he will be punished for several crimes! I admire you!"

The imperial decree is actually quite long. It is estimated that it was written by a great writer in the south of the Yangtze River, and it took more than ten minutes to praise Zhu Yousong. , Zuo Maodi looked majestic again, raised the imperial decree high and shouted loudly.

"Liao Ni still hasn't accepted the order?"
