After streamlining his personnel, Liu Yuanqiao arranged for most people to be stationed locally. He led his civil and military officials and 100000 elite troops to march northward.
Before he left Shandong and was still in Dezhou, he received a report from the fast horse ahead that the capital had been broken by the Chinese army and Emperor Chongzhen had committed suicide.
The place where Liu Yuanqiao is located is the temporary capital of the Daming Empire, which is what they call traveling. There are hundreds of civil and military officials, various attendants and institutions. All important military newspapers and memorials will be spread here throughout the Chinese Empire, and then sent everywhere after being reviewed by him and his cabinet. This is the highest authority of the Daming Dynasty.
They also gathered the most important officials of the Chinese Empire. Most of these officials were born in the Ming Empire, and even some were senior officials. When they heard that Yanjing had been taken down and Emperor Chongzhen had killed himself, many people were filled with emotion and sighed.
The death of emperor Chongzhen means the end of an era and the end of the Ming Empire, especially those who once served as senior officials in the Ming Dynasty, such as Jing Yungong, Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang, Qian Qianyi, situ Duyi, etc.
They were thinking that although the Ming Dynasty was not overthrown by them, Emperor Chongzhen could say that he died because of them.
Emperor Chongzhen would rather kill himself than live in the world. Such backbone is awe inspiring and relieved these ministers.
They are worried about one thing, that is, if emperor Chongzhen does not die and becomes a prisoner under the rank, how should they face this emperor and their former master?
They understand that no matter how they count, they can't wash the names of the two ministers. If they add the act of killing the Lord, their reputation will be completely stinky.
Celebrities in this era have a common problem, that is, they attach great importance to reputation. Even if they have surrendered to the enemy and become second ministers, they still think naively that I have difficulties. If others don't understand me, history will understand me. I am the people all over the world.
But they understand that anyone can understand them, but the emperor will not understand, and they can face anyone, but they can't face his majesty.
Of course, these people have confidence in themselves as two ministers. That is, among them, even Liu Yuanqiao was once a minister of the Ming Empire, a former Denglai governor and a frontier official guarding the pastoral side. But even such a person rebelled. What else can they say?
The emperor's rigid suicide also made them put down their big stones. Since Daming has become the past, a new dynasty is coming.
Upon hearing the news, Liu Yuanqiao's civil and military ministers congratulated him one after another.
For the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen's suicide means the demise of the Ming Empire, but for the Chinese Empire, it is a great good thing, which means that their biggest stumbling block has been removed and they can do whatever they want.
Liu Yuanqiao laughed and said, "Zhu Ming's last emperor killed himself, which means that it is natural for the Chinese Empire to win the destiny and enter the imperial court."
Liu Yuanqiao boasted like this. Naturally, the civil and military ministers around him came forward one after another and flattered.
At this time, Liu Yuanqiao suddenly asked, "what's the son of God doing!"
The son of Liu Yuanqiao is naturally Liu bu. Liu Bu's official title is the Grand Marshal of the world's troops and horses of the Chinese Empire. He is in charge of all the troops of the Ministry of national defense. After they captured Nanjing, Liu Yuanqiao self styled himself as the king of prison and added the gift of Jiuxi, and he was granted the son of the world, which is equivalent to his successor.
There is no objection to this. First, Liu Bu is the eldest son born to Liu Yuanqiao's wife. In the world of the Chinese Empire, their father and son fought together. In terms of merit and importance, Liu Bu may not be able to establish him as the son of the world under Liu Yuanqiao.
Liu Bu is also probably one of the most powerful sons in the history of China.
At this time, one of the eunuchs around him replied: "Your Highness, the prince is resting in the military camp outside Zhengyangmen."
Liu Yuanqiao was slightly stunned. He said, "rest? Qingzhi, is he ill?"
Wang Wenwen is a eunuch who Liu Yuanqiao used in Nanjing. Since he is an emperor and the harem is extremely huge, he naturally needs eunuchs to help him manage the harem. Wang Wenwen is such a person who specializes in serving Liu Yuanqiao's daily life.
Of course, Liu Yuanqiao is an arrogant figure. In terms of strength, he is no less powerful than Zhu Yuanzhang. He will not let eunuchs manage his administrative affairs. Therefore, although Wang Wenwen is the chief eunuch around him, he is actually a servant serving him.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were no disturbances in the harem and the vassal towns for hundreds of years, but there was a eunuch's disaster and chaos in the imperial platform. Learning from this lesson, he would not set up a ceremony supervisor, nor would he have any right to approve Zhu. All power must be in the hands of the emperor or the imperial court.
How did the emperor exercise his power in the Ming Dynasty? Every emperor has to consider how to check and balance in front of ministers and sons, but in the Chinese Empire, their father and son don't need to consider this matter.
Whether it's Liu Yuanqiao or Liu Bu, they both have enough ability and prestige to subdue their ministers. No one dares to challenge their authority. As for the future, we have to discuss it slowly. Liu Yuanqiao heard that his son was resting. He was a little strange.
Wang Wenwen said: "the son of God ate and slept in the open air on the battlefield during his expedition to Yiling last year. He felt cold occasionally. He took a few pairs of medicine at that time and was barely cured. Now he has some repetition. He will be cured by taking a few more pairs of medicine and conditioning slowly."
As soon as Liu Yuanqiao heard this, he said, "how could the lone King know about it?"
Wang Wen said: "it's not that we deliberately hide it, but that the son of God has ordered not to disclose any information to his highness. His highness, the son of God is painstaking."
Liu Yuanqiao is relieved that Liu Bu is not only the most powerful general under his command, but also his son and future successor. If something goes wrong, there will be problems in his empire.
Liu Yuanqiao also lamented that over the years, he has been hard to celebrate. Basically, he is constantly training the army and fighting everywhere. When the world is peaceful, he has to have a good rest and take care of his body.
When they heard that the capital had been taken down, the emperor committed suicide. The world was theirs. They became more and more excited, which accelerated their speed and made their way. As long as they got to the capital, the world would become theirs.
When Liu Yuanqiao was resting in his bedroom, Wang Wenwen submitted a secret fold to him.
Liu Yuanqiao's inner guard, the action organization around him, is in charge of Wang Wen. Seeing the folding of Wang Wen, Liu Yuanqiao gave a smile at the corners of his mouth.
Zhang Yan, this is an outstanding beauty and one of the five most famous empresses in the world. As a man, it's impossible if he doesn't have an idea. The other is empress dowager Yi'an. In the past, it was disrespectful for him to look up to her. Now it's different. As the most powerful man in the world, he is fully qualified to be a guest of honor. As a man, he must awaken his power in the world, As the most powerful man in this land, sleeping on the beautiful knee naturally requires the most beautiful woman.
This noble status alone made him feel excited and conquered when he thought about it.
But I heard that Chen Runde made some mistakes in the process of handling this matter and had some unpleasant conflicts with Liu bu. Chen Runde even had one ear cut off by Liu bu.
Of course, Chen Runde knew that Liu Bu's position in the Chinese army did not dare to slander. Instead, he first pleaded guilty and then said it realistically.
After hearing this, Liu Yuanqiao felt that there was no problem. He said, "this matter is over and will not be an example."
As the emperor of the Chinese Empire, his reputation must be maintained by all means. Chen Runde is not wrong in doing so, but his means are too extreme.
Liu Yuanqiao was thinking that he would kill all the elite soldiers. He was reluctant to give up. He could dispatch them to the border to perform dangerous tasks and let them die in their position with honor. This is the destination of the soldiers. If the people behind them use hidden guns to murder them, it would actually be betrayal.
Therefore, Liu Bu was very angry about this and directly cleaned up Chen Runde. If it was someone else who dared to take care of Liu Yuanqiao, Liu Yuanqiao could let him eat and die.
But this is his son, but his father is doing this kind of thing. He is really unreasonable and weak. He can only say that this matter is over.
In fact, their father and son are all sentimental people. In those days, Liu Bu could do life and death for a woman, and it is reasonable that his father could do such a thing for a woman. No one can blame anyone. This is Liu Yuanqiao's idea.
Liu Yuanqiao was born as an official of seven grades. Later, he became governor of Laizhou and governor of Denglai. These are the positions of power in the Ming Dynasty. All people also believe that Liu Yuanqiao is a top power and a generation of heroes. That's his own pattern.
But when they rebelled, their identities were different, their thoughts were different, and their patterns were different. Now it's time to look at the world.
In the past, going out to have sex with women was really a big thing. Up to now, all these are small sections. As long as they manage the country and handle the state affairs well, all other things will not be a problem. They are all small sections.
Liu Yuanqiao naturally won't conflict with his son because of such a small thing. It's not worth it.
Liu Bu's way of dealing with this matter makes him appreciate it. Instead of being as extreme as Chen Runde's lengtouqing, he has a reason and a way to advance and retreat. This makes him appreciate his son. He has gradually removed the edges and corners and become mellow. He can handle these things with ease and can be regarded as an adult.
