Chapter 2845: Enthronement
As a result, the chaos in the capital completely split the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Several people who were qualified to be emperors took control of each other. Some of them ascended the throne in the capital, and then ran back outside the customs to ascend the throne in Fengtian, and some went to Shaanxi to ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor. Yes, now the Qing Dynasty, which was already in chaos, became even more chaotic.
One emperor can't beat the south, and now three emperors come out, it's even more impossible to win, so after Shen Long returned to Jiangning, as soon as the news from the north came, people from the south began to try to persuade Shen Long ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
"I haven't won half of the country yet, so it's too early to be called emperor?" Hey, I have been emperor several times, but this time the territory is the smallest, right? Shen Long was still a little reluctant.
"My lord, now Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan and other elite lands are all owned by my lord. Fujian and Jiangxi are also going to be decided upon. In addition, the Qing Dynasty is divided into three. My lord has the tendency to monopolize the world. Now it is just right to be enthroned and proclaim the emperor, so that the righteousness and fame are established, so that we can unify the world!" But the ministers under his command also made sense.
"In this case, let's start preparing!" Shen Long is not hypocritical. Now these provinces have been slowly digested, and the surrounding provinces have also felt the vigorous development momentum of the new dynasty. Many neighboring local officials They all started secretly communicating with Xinchao, thinking about the matter of surrender. In many places, as soon as the army arrived, they would immediately leave the city and surrender.
There are many scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not difficult to organize the enthronement ceremony. Even many retired officials who participated in the Qianlong enthronement ceremony wanted to help, so as to find an opportunity for their family; I am not interested in the etiquette of the Qing Dynasty. I have been emperor in the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and he himself was a great Confucianism. Things are ready.
Shen Long set the general direction, and other people will naturally fill in the specific details. The founding king has preferential treatment in this regard. As long as it generally conforms to the etiquette, he can come as he likes, unlike the three in the north. I have to follow the usual routine, and because the chaos in the north is really outrageous, many things can't be put together, so I can only do it briefly.
This has led to bad consequences. Even the enthronement ceremony can't be held decently. I think this is the pill of the Qing Dynasty. Many people in the north think so, and many people start to think. If the south calls, What should we do?
The south has a developed economy, strong financial resources, and many skilled craftsmen. It is not difficult to organize a grand enthronement ceremony. However, although the material conditions are met, there is still one problem that has not been resolved! Someone came to Shen Long to persuade him, saying that my lord, you are not too young now, and you are going to ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, so you can't live without a queen, right? You have to marry a queen first.
Well, you don't need to worry about this, I already have someone to choose, Shen Long found Wang Zhenyi that night, and asked her to marry her, Wang Zhenyi was both shy and happy, the shy thing is, how could he tell himself directly about this kind of thing? Shouldn't the matchmaker be the first to propose to her parents? The happy thing is that marrying someone like Shen Long is also her long-standing wish.
Since she was willing, everything would be much easier. After Shen Long went back and gave instructions, the ministers not only looked at each other, but who is this? Could it be that His Majesty knew each other back then? But after thinking about it, Wang Zhenyi is also a girl from a good family, as long as the emperor thinks it is appropriate, then what is there to say?
So, in the afternoon, the Minister of Rites arrived at Wang Zhenyi's house. At this time, Wang Zhenyi's father, Wang Xichen, was still outside to see a doctor.
As soon as he heard that the Minister of Rites was coming, he quickly prescribed a prescription and went home. He was still wondering, I was just a doctor, why did the Minister of Rites ask me? Do you want me to be an official?
Although I have a little reputation in Jiangning, I don't need the Minister of Rites to come and invite me in person, right? With many doubts, Wang Xichen welcomed the Minister of Rites into the main hall, served tea and chatted with him.
After chatting for a while, the Minister of Rites asked Wang Xichen, "I heard that there is a daughter in the family who is knowledgeable and dignified, and has not yet left the court?"
"Hey, I have found a lot of families for her before, but my daughter just doesn't want to!" As soon as he mentioned this, Wang Xichen began to sigh. If you say that they are also a good family, the daughter has no other problems except for astronomy and arithmetic. , but she has not been married until now, and now she is in her twenties without knowing it, so she is an old girl now.
Could it be that he came to propose to someone else? It is definitely not ordinary people who can work him to be a matchmaker, but these important officials in the new dynasty seem to be very young? Does anyone have a child who is about the same age as my daughter-in-law?
Fortunately, the Minister of Rites soon revealed the answer to the mystery. It turned out that he came to propose marriage for his lord, and this one will be enthroned and proclaimed emperor in a while, and his daughter will be a queen as soon as she gets married.
This frightened Wang Xichen a lot, "Little girl has a bad personality, how can she respect the world?" You can just look at the stars in your own home, but if you become a palace and look at the stars with a telescope, it's not appropriate right?
"Your Majesty has heard about Lingqianjin's affairs. You don't have to worry about the old Wang. The new dynasty is no different from the previous dynasty. There is no taboo on astronomy. His Majesty even plans to become a large science academy and establish a university to specialize in this!" Astronomy and navigation have a separate relationship It doesn't matter, since Shen Long wants to lead this country into the age of great voyages, how can he ignore this?
Now the people in the south of the Yangtze River have no resistance to Shen Long, and they even hope that he can calm down the world as soon as possible. In addition, the Minister of Rites has said so, what else can Wang Xichen say? After resigning with an excuse, she asked Wang Zhenyi for her opinion. In the past, when it came to marriage, Wang Zhenyi refused in every possible way, but today she agreed very frankly. Yesterday Shen Long explained everything to her clearly.
So, just like that, Wang Zhenyi became the first queen of the new dynasty. After the grand ceremony, she finally married Shen Long. Is it the biggest show this time? How can the small scene of Arthas and Jaina compare with the present?
Not long after the wedding, an even grander enthronement ceremony was held. Under the expectant eyes of countless subordinates, Shen Long officially ascended to the throne in a dragon robe and a crown on his head. purpose.
