Start Summoning West Factory Flower

Page 141

He used to be the governor of the West Factory, and now he is the governor of the Audit Office, and Cao Zhengchun is now the governor of the East Factory. Although the East Factory has just been established, Cao Zhengchun has already taken over the shadow guards in Kyoto.

The two of them seemed to be natural competitors by Zheng Ming's side.

"How is the situation in the palace?" Zheng Ming asked.

Cao Zhengchun got up and stood beside Zheng Ming, and replied respectfully: "Return to Your Highness, everything is under control."

"Well, let's go." Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and rode into the city.

More than a thousand cavalry followed behind.

On the street, the imperial guards had already set up a strict ban. Most of the people were hiding at home or standing at the corner of the street, watching Zheng Ming secretly.

Of course, spies from all major forces are indispensable among them.

However, Zheng Ming didn't care about these things, and the next step is to enter the palace.

Two moments later, Zheng Ming came to the gate of the palace.

Four octogenarians are already waiting for him here.

Zheng Ziming and Zheng Ziyuan looked at each other, and then looked at Zheng Ming who was riding a horse.

Zheng Ming was dressed in bright yellow brocade clothes, his eyes were clear, his eyebrows were slanted, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a warm smile.

If there were no majestic cavalry behind him, everyone would have thought he was a son of an aristocratic family who came out to play.

"Zheng Ming pays respects to all the great uncles!"

Zheng Ming got off his horse and cupped his hands.

Zheng Ziming stroked his long beard and laughed.

"I hope you will not live up to the old expectations."

Zheng Ming nodded and said, "This king will protect Dali's foundation."

"Okay! Let's go in." Zheng Ziming gave him a deep look.

Before Zheng Ming arrived in Kyoto, he had already received a letter from Wang Shouming, in which Wang Shouming said a lot, including his views and attitudes towards Zheng Ming.

At this time, although Zheng Ziming saw Zheng Ming for the first time, he already had a lot of impressions of Zheng Ming.

And now that the situation is chaotic, they don't have time to continue to toss, they must push Zheng Ming to the throne as soon as possible.

In the palace hall.

The cabinet, the governor's office, the inspector's office, the clan's office, the six ministries, etc. have already been summoned.

When Zheng Ming stepped into the hall, everyone's eyes could not help but focus on him.

They felt very strange to Zheng Ming, and Zheng Ming felt the same way to them.

Except for Liang Songnian, none of these people had any dealings with Zheng Ming.

"Your Majesty passed away suddenly, and we didn't have time to identify the heir. We and the royal family have decided to let His Majesty's fifth son, Prince Rui, succeed you. Do you have any opinions?" Li Wang Zheng Ziyuan looked at the crowd and asked.

All the courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, how dare they raise objections at this time.

Let's not talk about what's going on inside the palace, there are shadow guards, imperial guards and cavalry brought by Zheng Ming outside the palace, anyone who dares to object will probably walk out of the palace gate.

"I dare not wait!" Zhang Lingzheng said.

Zheng Ziyuan nodded slightly, and said: "Since there is no objection, then prepare for the enthronement ceremony."

In this way, Zheng Ming's position as the heir was confirmed.

Immediately after Zheng Ming was invited to the stage, all the officials bowed and kowtowed.

Since then.

The cabinet began to write the enthronement edict. The situation was urgent, and everything needed to be done as soon as possible. As long as the new king was announced to the world, Dali's internal affairs should be much more stable.

At the same time, Zheng Qingsong's funeral also needs Zheng Ming, the heir, to preside over it.

After that, Zheng Ming was completely busy.

There is simply too much to do.

First of all, the first thing is the trouble of Bailianzong.

There are still 40 troops stationed in Guiyun Province, and it is necessary to arrange for strong masters to support them as soon as possible.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zheng Ming and Zheng Ziming sat together.

"Three uncles, Bailianzong may still need you to go to sit in the town. In addition, this king will invite Master to go with him."

Zheng Ziming nodded, and said: "You look at the arrangement, our old bones can still be used."

Zheng Ming thought for a while and said, "This king will let Chen Ze be the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and then I will ask the three uncles to support him."

At this time, he has just entered the capital and has not yet ascended the throne, so naturally he cannot go to Guiyun Province.

Moreover, Zheng Ming didn't want to start a war with Bailianzong at this time, he hoped to start the war after he stabilized Dali's situation.

But it is estimated that Bailianzong will not give him so much time.

As for making Chen Ze the commander in chief of the armed forces, it was also Zheng Ming's deliberate decision.

Needless to say, Chen Ze's commanding ability is definitely the top existence in Dali.

As for the issue of loyalty, Zheng Ming wasn't too worried. He was the new king, and Chen Ze had no reason to betray him. Besides, even if he had a different heart, Ximen Chuuxue, Zheng Ziming and others were still suppressing him, even if he wanted to betray him.

"Tomorrow we will go to Guiyun Province. You can only rely on yourself in the capital." Zheng Ziming said solemnly.

Although he only had contact with Zheng Ming for a short time, he still recognized Zheng Ming.

In particular, Zheng Ming's composure and confidence far exceeded his expectations.

After sending Zheng Ziming and others away, Zheng Ming recruited the cabinet and the governor's mansion one by one, and arranged a lot of things.

First of all, ensure the supply of food and grass for more than 40 troops in Guiyun Province.

Secondly, the Governor's Mansion was asked to recruit Yuan Hualing back from the grassland.Now is not the time to clean up Ye Su'er. Compared with Ye Su'er, the most important thing is to guard against the surprise attack of the Dajin Dynasty.

After some busy work, the night fell.

Looking at the pile of memorials in front of him, Zheng Ming's head suddenly became dilated.

"Are you going to stay up all night again!"

Recalling the past life, he shook his head vigorously.

"Cao Zhengchun!"

he called out the door.

"The servant is here." Cao Zhengchun walked in immediately.

"Prepare some meals, and then invite my concubine over." Zheng Ming said

Up to now he has not seen Concubine Ming yet.

As for the harem, Zheng Ming thought about it and decided not to go there yet.

After a while, Concubine Ming came.

Seeing Zheng Ming, Concubine Ming looked happy and proud, which dispelled the sadness in her heart a lot.

Chapter 177 Enthronement and Intermediate Summoning

The next day.

Zheng Ming's enthronement edict was sent to various places in Dali, and Zheng Qingsong's body was also transported to Kyoto.

Standing in the main hall, Zheng Ming looked at Zheng Qingsong's shriveled corpse with a cold chill in his eyes.

"Yuhuatian, the murderer hasn't been found yet?"

His tone was very bad, which made Yu Huatian's heart tighten.

"Returning to Your Highness, there are already some clues, the murderer should be His Highness King Su!"

"King Su!" Zheng Ming frowned, and said, "He has such courage?"

Yu Huatian replied: "Your Highness, this servant has already arranged for people to arrest King Su's subordinates, as long as they are caught, we can figure it out."

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and glanced at Zheng Qingsong again, his expression became complicated.

"Where is Eunuch Wei's body?"

"Outside the hall."

Zheng Ming came outside the hall, looked at Eunuch Wei with a pale face, and sighed slightly.

For Zheng Qingsong, he was more curious and admired, but hardly had much affection.

But for Eunuch Wei, he is very grateful and close. On the one hand, it is because of the memory of his predecessor, and on the other hand, Eunuch Wei has really helped him a lot in the past two years.

"An order was sent to summon King Su, King Ning, King Qing, and King Su to the capital to attend the funeral of their father. If they dare not come, they will be captured directly." Zheng Ming said.

Now he has no time to make trouble with these cheap brothers. If anyone dares to make trouble at this time, he will definitely kill.

After arranging Zheng Qingsong's body, Zheng Ming began to prepare for Zheng Qingsong's funeral.

He can't ascend the throne right now, and Zheng Qingsong's funeral must be completed.

But now he has begun to exercise the power of the emperor, and the civil and military officials in the court have gradually accepted this fact.

In the next few days, Zheng Ming was completely busy. While preparing for Zheng Qingsong's funeral, he also had to deal with various complicated political affairs in the court, which made him a little upset.

In order to be able to escape from these complicated political affairs, Zheng Ming ordered people to find Xin Qiji and Du Ruhui to go to Beijing.

As for Jia Xu, hehe, there is only such a tool person who can handle political affairs by his side, how can Zheng Ming let him idle.

Zheng Ming directly threw him to the cabinet.

……

The edict of the new king's ascension to the throne was distributed to various places in Dali, which immediately caused quite a stir.

It made the already chaotic situation even more chaotic, and those sects and forces close to Bailianzong even intensified their troubles.

Perhaps in their view, Zheng Qingsong's death meant that Bailianzong had won.

For a while, the provinces of Dali continued to have disputes, which made Zheng Ming even more headache.

The impact of Zheng Qingsong's death is too great.

And not only Da Li Nei, but also Da Zhou and Da Jin are about to move.

At this time, the Great Zhou Dynasty had begun to frequently mobilize large armies, and a large-scale national war was probably inevitable.

And the Great Jin Dynasty was not idle either. Their elite cavalry tried the Luoyu Fortress many times, during which several small-scale battles broke out.

And the Wuman tribe in the southwest also started to be dishonest, and actually took action against Xijue City.

Obviously they wanted to solve Xijue City first, and then enter Dali through Xijue City.

If it weren't for Dongfang Bubai occupying Xijue City, they would have joined forces with Xijue City to attack Dali long ago.

As for the northwest prairie, Ye Su'er is also dispatching troops, and seems to want to take control of Dali.

Coupled with Bailianzong, Dali is now besieged on all sides.

In such a situation of being besieged on all sides, Zheng Ming led all the officials to help the spirit go out for the funeral, and sent Zheng Qingsong's body to the imperial mausoleum for burial.

The situation was urgent, and everything was kept simple. After Zheng Ming kept vigil for Zheng Qingsong for seven days, he ascended the throne and became Emperor Dali.

Even so, it was already late July when Zheng Ming ascended the throne, and almost a month had passed since Zheng Qingsong passed away.

The new king ascended the throne, and the year name was changed to Huaxia.

"Hua" refers to the beauty of clothing and clothing; "Xia" refers to the vast territory, cultural prosperity, and prosperity of civilization and morality.

This year name was set by Zheng Ming. It not only reflects his longing for China, but also his expectations for the future of Dali. He hopes that Dali can live well for the people, prosper the country, and keep the government far away. Be beautiful in China.

However, this era name will not be used until next year, and this year is still the 42nd year of Heyuan.

After Zheng Ming ascended the throne, he paid homage to the Ming concubine Li as his mother, the empress dowager, who was in charge of the harem with the emblem of 眀慈, and at the same time canonized Wei Yu as the empress.

After all the cumbersome etiquette is over, it is already sunset.

Zheng Ming was wearing a dragon robe and sitting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, while Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun stood aside respectfully.
