Chapter 1,070: Ceremony of Enthronement

Yin Huaixi took her hand.

Yu Youyao raised her head: "What's wrong?"

"The red lips haven't moved yet, and I feel the fragrance of lipstick first." Yin Huaixi came closer and smelled it, and a unique sweet fragrance suddenly penetrated the nostrils, making people drunk: "Let me taste what it tastes like."

Yu Youyao moved her lips subconsciously.

Gently wiping away the blush on her lips with his fingertips, he put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully. Yin Huaixi narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's sweet."

He obviously doesn't like sweets, but he prefers to eat her lipstick. No matter what kind of lipstick he uses, he always eats it. I don't know what's wrong with it.

Yu Youyao was angry and annoyed: "I put a lot of beeswax in the lipstick, of course it's sweet."

"It can be sweeter." Yin Huaixi stared at her lips.

Yu Youyao pursed her lips and smiled: "This is lip balm, not honey. Why do you want it to be so sweet? It won't make you tired. Don't you want to eat? Why don't you leave?"

"The way to eat is different, the taste is naturally different." Yin Huaixi pointed out, his eyes dark.

"Isn't lipstick all like this? Are there different ways to eat it?" After finishing her sentence, Yu Youyao suddenly thought of something. Before she could react, Yin Huaixi had already lowered his head and took her lipstick-smeared lips into his mouth. After finishing the lipstick from her lips, he let her go.

Yu Youyao was very angry: "I just applied lipstick..."

Yin Huaixi laughed "haha" and rubbed her lips. Her soft lips made him want to move again. Seeing her annoyed look, he quickly opened the thin box, picked out some lipstick, and applied it to her On lips, apply evenly with fingertips.

After applying lipstick, Yin Huaixi picked up her chin again, admired it for a while, then opened the makeup package, picked out a large agate camellia velvet flower, and inserted it diagonally on her temples. It looked like an agate velvet flower, which made her look beautiful. Her skin is bright and delicate. She tilted her cheeks and admired it for a moment. There was a deep joyful color in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Yu Youyao looked at it for a while and thought it looked very good, so she let him go.

Yin Huaixi held her hand: "Let's go have a meal!"

There was a lamp in the corridor, and the dim light reflected on the beautiful woman beside him, giving him an obscure illusion. Yin Huaixi couldn't help but squeeze his hand, and the soft feeling on his fingertips gave him a slightly real feeling. .

——

Five days later, Eunuch Zhu personally went to Princess Chang's Mansion to welcome Yin Huaixi back to the palace.

On the second day after returning to the palace, Yin Huaixi led his ministers to worship at the Altar of Heaven, and then held a ceremony to worship the heavens at the Temple of Heaven to show the divine authority of the king and declare his orthodoxy.

The third day is the day of the enthronement ceremony.

On this day, Jingzhao was under full martial law, and troops were deployed to guard all the gates of the imperial city.

When Mao Shi first arrived, the princes, princes and ministers had already put on their court uniforms, accepted inspections by the imperial guards one by one, and entered the imperial city.

All the doors of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were open. In the large hall, bright yellow flags rolled in the wind, and the emperor's honor guard was spread along the long red carpet to Zhaoxiang Gate.

Mr. Yu Ge and several cabinet bachelors entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony with officials from the Ministry of Rites, and presented the emperor's edict on his enthronement, congratulatory messages, and the emperor's seal in the hall.

The auspicious time has arrived.

The music officer began to play music, with dozens of musical instruments including bells, drums, flutes, chimes, harps, flutes, and harps, playing a magnificent and solemn tune.

Yin Huaixi, wearing a Xuanxi crown embroidered with twelve chapters, walked up the steps along the long ceremonial guard and the red carpet, slowly entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and stood on the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Next, the ministers knelt three times and kowtowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live my emperor."

Afterwards, Yin Huaixi issued an edict.

At the beginning of the new dynasty, the country was named "Dazhao" to show its virtues. The year name was changed to the first year of Zhaoyong, and the ancestral temple was built. The temple was named "Zhao Taizu" to show the merits of the ancestors and the virtues of the clan.

The enthronement ceremony is completed.

From then on the new dynasty was established.

After Emperor Zhaoyong ascended the throne, he first announced the appointment of Yu Youyao, Princess Shaoyichang, as his queen, and ordered officials from the Ministry of Rites to step up supervision.

In fact, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were already busy preparing for the ceremony of the queen's conferment as early as after Princess Chang returned to Beijing. They first had to prepare gold books and gold treasures, collectively called "book treasures", and then they were written by the cabinet bachelor. Book articles, treasure articles.

I was so busy that I didn't even take a breath.

Subsequently, Emperor Zhaoyong granted a general amnesty to the whole world, and granted reduced or exempted punishments depending on the severity of the crime. Those who were wronged received twenty punishments with a cane, and could also be retried or overturned.

Once a case is finalized by the Yamen, except for beating the drum and obtaining the emperor's personal permission, generally no appeal is allowed.

The crime is basically punishable by death.

Beating the Dengwen drum requires thirty punishments with a cane. Ordinary people generally cannot bear it. As a result, the Dengwen drum is useless, and there are not many people who dare to beat the Dengwen drum.

The pardon was reduced to twenty rods, which is something ordinary people can bear if they grit their teeth and hold on.

Subsequently, Emperor Zhaoyong abolished the original state and prefectural governance and activated Cao Cao's six-level management system of province, city, county, township, town, and village, which made the administration of officials clear, the responsibilities of officials more clear, and the rights of each person The divisions are there to prevent officials from overstepping their authority.

At the same time, he also established a cabinet administrative center in the DPRK, referred to as the "Cabinet", to command the ministers. It is the highest leadership organization in the DPRK and is headed by the chief minister.

The Government Affairs Executive Yuan, referred to as the "Government Affairs Yuan", is the highest executive agency for decision-making and deployment between the DPRK and China, and is under the responsibility of the deputy assistant.

The cabinet has leadership power over the Government Affairs Council, but the Government Affairs Council has certain restraint rights over the cabinet.

Clamp each other down.

The Privy Council Military Affairs Council, referred to as the Military Affairs Council, is the highest military affairs agency. It has greatly reduced the constraints of the Ministry of War on military affairs, strengthened the emperor's direct control over military power, and is under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor.

With such a division, the rights and responsibilities of each official are clearly divided, and no one can try to get over the line. The situation of the former cabinet's exclusive power will never happen again. No matter which party wants to cause trouble, it can't get around the other two parties. The three parties check and balance each other, and their interests are constantly involved.

Whenever a party is corrupt and bends the law, it can follow the vine of responsibility and touch it up, greatly curbing the corruption of political style.

All three parties were directly governed by the emperor.

All important matters in the country could not be hidden from the emperor's ears.

The one-cabinet-two-chamber system, based on the cabinet, further strengthened the emperor's control over the military and political affairs, as well as his control over local officials.

The ministers in the DPRK are as honest as quails.

Then, Emperor Zhaoyong implemented benevolent policies.

First of all, the "one whip method" of the former Prime Minister Zhang was implemented, which combined land tax, corvee and other miscellaneous taxes and duties into one line, and merged them into the collection of silver tael, which was converted and paid per mu.

Once this measure was issued, the whole country celebrated.

The royal court's taxes and services were mainly land taxes, capitation taxes and various forms of corvee.

When broken down into details, Ling Ling Zong Zong is extremely complicated.

The huge tax items were combined and collected together. As much land as the family owned, they would pay the tax according to the regulations. Except for the grain that the government needed to collect, all taxes were converted into silver.

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－

The whipping method was proposed by Zhang Juzheng, which solved the treasury deficit in the Ming Dynasty at that time, increased fiscal revenue, and made people's families rich. However, the whipping method was not thorough, and still had to detour the big gentry, and silver was expensive and grain was cheap. Corrupt officials were still corrupt. Officials and businessmen colluded to make money, and all the money fell into the hands of officials and businessmen. As a result, after Zhang Juzheng's death, the great gentry became so powerful that they oppressed the emperor so much that the emperor was so poor that he rewarded palace officials with copper plates. , the officials and businessmen were extremely rich, and Emperor Wanli later hated Zhang Juzheng to death, but it is undeniable that the whip method was a great feat throughout the ages, which greatly alleviated the social conflicts at that time, and the people's lives were much easier.
