Every emperor said that the emperor was suffering, and called himself a "widow".But there are always endless people who want to be emperors and are willing to be "lonely people".Zhu Quanzhong turned from a bachelor without any property to a "widow". He did not expect to fall into infinite anxiety and troubles since then.Where is the sweetness of being an emperor? On March 15th, Zhu Quanzhong held a meeting of ministers. This was the first time that Zhu Quanzhong held a plenary meeting after becoming emperor, and it was also the first time that Zhu Quanzhong sat so high.

In the vast hall of Kaifeng Mansion, looking around, everything is both illusion and reality, Zhu Quanzhong felt a little dizzy.Everything is so familiar with the reality, but it seems to be a dream that can be shattered at any time. Zhu Quanzhong owed his ass, and used his hands to support the dragon chair, subconsciously checking whether the throne was strong or not.Zhu Quanzhong closed his eyes, looked down at the ministers of civil and military affairs, and suddenly felt a sense of strangeness that he had never felt before, as if some people were seeing it for the first time.Looking at the appearance of the ministers bowing their heads and ears, and seeing so many people all at once, there is only one word to describe the feeling, cool!

When I was in my hometown, I always turned my eyes to look up, and my neck was sore.After serving as a Jiedu envoy, I watched for a long time, and saw some soldiers were taller than myself, and I always felt inexplicably nervous.Only now can I truly appreciate what it is like to look down on all living beings and rule the world. Zhu Quanzhong thought of Li Keyong, the boss of the feudal town at the same time as him. That one-eyed dragon was still arguing with me, thinking that he would be alone in the world by wielding a stick a few times on a horse, hum!Even if he is allowed to sit on the dragon chair, he can't see the whole thing, at best he can see half of the world.Qian Liu is considered smart and kind. He has always made offerings to Li Tang with a smile on his face, and now he comes to make offerings to me.As for Yang Xingmi, he worked very hard, but it was poor, he died without enjoying the blessings, and his sons were not good enough.Now it is estimated that the most painful thing is Li Maozhen, that big idiot. Is it so fun to hold the emperor to make the princes?Can anyone play if they want?In the end, it's not that I lost my wife and lost my army, and gave me a free springboard for nothing, otherwise, I really wouldn't have cleaned up Li Ye so smoothly.The person I sent the messenger at the first time should have arrived in Fengxiang. Old man Li must have had an ugly expression when he received the news of my enthronement.

After thinking about these vassal bosses, Zhu Quanzhong suddenly thought of Liu Chong again.Liu Chong was a distant relative of Zhu Quanzhong when he was young.The young Zhu Quanzhong and his three brothers followed their mother to live in Liu Chong's house. They lived hungry and full, and they were always stared at or even beaten by Liu Chong from time to time.Zhu Quanzhong thought to himself, Liu Chong, such a bad old man, never dreamed that I, Zhu Quanzhong, would become emperor. He would probably be scared to death when he knew the news. Zhu Quanzhong finished thinking about these things in an instant, then glanced at the officials, and thought: Today, this group of people will be reappointed as officials and nobles, and this matter must be done quickly. Isn't it because these people are licking their blood with their knives and doing their best? Get promoted and get rich.My Baye still has a lot of things to do, and I can't do without people who are willing and able to do things.As for Li and Tang's old ministers, whoever is clever and surrenders early will be honored and distinguished. If someone is pedantic and unsophisticated and blocks my way, then there is only one way for him, a dead end!

After I don't know whether he snorted or coughed, Zhu Quanzhong solemnly and unquestionably announced: "Li Tang's life is exhausted, and the world is disappointed. Since I started my business, I have been fighting for more than 30 years, fighting off traitors, and finally set the Central Plains. To be crowned the Great Treasure today, the strength of all the nobles cannot be ignored." "My emperor is the wise and unrivaled lord, and it is the destiny of the world!" All the officials below shouted in unison.Due to the loud shouts of the officials, the roof of the main hall of the Kaifeng Mansion was shaken "buzzing", and a few wisps of dust "swished" off, and one of them stuck to the back of Zhu Quanzhong's hand.Zhu Quanzhong frowned, looked at the wisp of dust, and then continued to issue edicts.

Zhu Quanzhong nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then said: "Since the country is established, the country name will still be Daliang, and I will continue to use the former king name; in order to create a peaceful and prosperous age, the year name will be Kaiping; as for the capital, don't go to Luoyang. The eastern capital, Luoyang as the western capital, Chang'an will be called the abolished capital afterward." This decision was a bit unexpected. The Luoyang palace had just been completed, and all the facilities were new. All the supplies were in place. Why did the emperor abandon Luoyang and choose Kaifeng?

In fact, Zhu Quanzhong didn't think that Kaifeng had better conditions than Luoyang, and he also knew that Luoyang's material conditions were much more thoughtful and rich.However, Zhu Quanzhong had a reason to be emperor in Kaifeng, because he felt that Luoyang was not safe.After all, Luoyang is on the territory of Heyang Fanzhen and is not a subordinate city of Xuanwu.Zhu Quanzhong had just planned two coups in Luoyang, killing the emperor and surrendering. People in Luoyang were panicked. The old troops of Zhu Yougong and Shi Shucong were still in the city. The big officials and wealthy households are full of people, and there are also uneven Li and Tang Yulin troops who are still in shock. Once they become elbows, the situation will be complicated, the situation will not be easy to control, and various forces will find it difficult to deal with it.

Zhu Quanzhong has been in Kaifeng for a long time, and has been in business for more than ten years. The security forces are all his direct relatives, and this place is firmly in Zhu Quanzhong's hands.If the transition period of the change of dynasty goes smoothly, Kaifeng will be able to hold on to it, and it will not be inferior to being an imperial capital with its prosperity and regulation.If the world changes, it is easier to dispatch operations based on Kaifeng. When Huang Chao was stationed in Chang'an, due to poor governance, the resistance forces in the city came and went one after another, and various towns outside joined forces to encircle and suppress, and finally Huang Chao had to withdraw from Chang'an.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhu Quanzhong believed that the base area for many years should not be easily left.He knows very well that the consequence of a tiger leaving the forest is tantamount to cutting his own wings and throwing himself into a dangerous situation.Therefore, although Zhu Quanzhong was eager to become emperor, and his methods were cruel and bloody, he was still cautious about safety considerations. After the establishment of the capital, Zhu Quanzhong announced: "The Privy Council will be abolished and the Chongzhengyuan will be established. The Chongzhengyuan will be responsible for military aircraft and political affairs. Please submit all ministers and prime ministers to the Chongzhengyuan first. After the Chongzhengyuan discusses and agrees, then the The Chongzhengyuan drafted the proposal and reported it to me. After my approval, the Chongzhengyuan supervised and responsible for the implementation of the various ministries. Oh, yes, Jingxiang was in charge of the Chongzhengyuan and served as the envoy of the Chongzhengyuan. Jingxiang, you organized the "Tang Dynasty" "Tang Law" has simplified the main content and used it as my mainstay of law. "Tang Law" is too cumbersome, and there are so many rules and regulations that are twisted and twisted. All dizzy."

After Zhu Quanzhong announced this, he paused. There was no sound in the hall. It is true that there is no one, but no one dares to make a sound. There are two reasons for the silence.One is that people who don't care about this matter are anxiously waiting for their official positions with bated breath. This is the reward for their blood-stained clothes and hands;Because the abolition of the Privy Council is not a trivial matter. During the war, the Privy Envoys held the military and state power, and could almost serve as half of the imperial court.Now the responsibilities of the Privy Council belonged to the Chongzhengyuan, and the Chongzhengyuan also had administrative affairs, and the Chongzhengyuan undoubtedly became the most powerful institution.

During the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister was above the six ministries, and the six ministries could implement major government affairs after they were submitted to the emperor for approval.Now, the prime minister needs to report to the Chongzhengyuan first if he has something to do, and any decision-making power of the prime minister has been cancelled, and he can only handle the errand according to the Chongzhengyuan's opinion.Especially those who were prime ministers in previous dynasties felt like a rabbit in their hearts, their blood pressure rose, their nerves were tense, and they didn't know what their fate would be.There is another meaning behind this decision that no one can be sure of, and perhaps it is impossible to verify it. Zhu Quanzhong's establishment of Chongzhengyuan is an important measure of centralization of power. This is "the lice on the bald man's head"-obvious thing.However, the establishment of the Chongzheng Yuan did not disperse Zhu Quanzhong's personal power, and he still presided over military affairs directly and forcefully.This can only lead to a conclusion, "Because people set things up and set things up to win people".Because Jingxiang is shrewd and capable, "has both ability and moral integrity", and "virtue, ability and diligence" are excellent, Zhu Quanzhong is both reliant and reassuring, so he gave Jingxiang the important position of Chongzhengyuan envoy. .Jingxiang, on the other hand, weighed the subjective and objective aspects, and did not divide the power in his hands into "one person under ten thousand people". In fact, he was "playing hands" for Zhu Quanzhong. Jingxiang will definitely take care of the things that Zhu Quanzhong wants to take care of. Consciously retreating to the side, Jing Xiang went all out to undertake the things that Zhu Quanzhong was too busy to care about.This "Zhu Jing" match seems to be very successful, and it is also very intriguing. It is precisely because of the outstanding characteristics that vary from person to person that Chongzhengyuan, although an innovation of a political system, looked beautiful, it did not last for a long time in the Five Dynasties. After thanking Jingxiang with a serious expression, he stood at the head of the class, his body and expression unchanged. Jing Xiang, a low-key and mysterious person, has become the No. 1 figure in the officials and officials since today.Completed from being down and out on the street, earning a living by writing family letters for others, to becoming the chief minister with power.Jing Xiang's career process mocks the society that judges its future by family background from another side, in contrast to the martial arts fighters who have risen through killing and usurping. After the No. 1 person among the ministers is determined, it is time to appoint officials in turn. Zhu Quanzhong continued to announce: "Zhang Wenwei and Yang She are the servants of the sect, Xue Yiju is the servant of Zhongshu, Han Jian is the situ and envoy of Luoyang Palace, Li Zhen is the supervisor of the palace, Zhu Youwen is the governor of Kaifeng, Gao Jichang is the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, Liu Zhijun is Kuang Guo Jiedu envoy, Zhu Youqian as Hezhong Jiedu envoy. Zhang Quanyi was granted the title of King of Wei, Qian Liu was granted the title of King of Wuyue, Qinghai Jiedu envoy Liu Yin was made King of Dapeng, Li Maozhen was granted the title of continued King of Qi, and Li Keyong was dismissed from the position of King of Jin Sir." Zhu Quanzhong was awarded a long list of official positions, but Su Xun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Zhang Yi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, who also had the merit of persuading him to advance, did not receive any rewards and were ordered to retire instead. The two went home full of anger.The main reason why Su Xun and others didn't get official titles was that Jing Xiang and Li Zhen didn't like them and urged Zhu Quanzhong to drive them away.Zhang Wenwei and Yang She belonged to a family of officials and eunuchs, and they were well-known, so they were preserved.But Zhang Wenwei died within two years of being an official in Liang. Although Zhu Youwen was not Zhu Quanzhong's parent and son, since Zhu Quanzhong's eldest son Zhu Youyu died in battle, Zhu Quanzhong liked and trusted Zhu Youwen very much.Two years later, Luoyang was rectified and cleaned up. Zhu Quanzhong moved the capital to Luoyang, and let Zhu Youwen stay in Kaifeng (the eastern capital). Li Keyong started his army earlier than Zhu Quanzhong, became famous earlier, and succeeded earlier. More importantly, he had a good family background and even helped Zhu Quanzhong, but he was chased and intercepted by the rising Zhu Quanzhong to a place as big as a palm in Jinyang.Now Li Keyong saw that Zhu Quanzhong had become the emperor in a majestic way, and he actually pointed fingers at him.In a hurry and anger, Li Keyong suffered from sores on his head and couldn't get sick. After a year, he let go of this quarrelsome human being. Li Keyong died, but Li Keyong gave birth to a son who caused Zhu Quanzhong a headache.Li Keyong's long-cherished wish was finally realized in his son.The son Li Ke used was Li Cunxu, a young man like a tiger. Li Maozhen received Zhu Quanzhong's award and threw it on the ground without even looking at it.Li Maozhen is old now, and the territory has become smaller and smaller over the past few years. Zhu Quanzhong occupied the east and Wang Jian occupied the south, and she curled up in a palm-sized place in Longyou.Li Maozhen lost the domineering spirit of the past.Although Li Maozhen didn't dare to compete with the world, she still decided to open a mansion and government office by herself, confer titles on officials, and act like an emperor. When Wang Jian from Sichuan heard the news that Zhu Quanzhong had proclaimed himself emperor, he couldn't hold back the itch in his heart, and hurriedly proclaimed himself emperor as well. However, Wang Jian finally felt that he lacked confidence, and stepped up contact with Li Maozhen, Li Keyong, Yang Xingmi, etc. while proclaiming himself emperor. People, seeking to proclaim themselves emperors, intending to sit on an equal footing with Zhu Quanzhong, did not expect that none of those people responded. Although the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was abolished by Zhu Quanzhong, the aftermath of the tiger's death is still there. These warlords who are usually domineering and domineering still dare not easily put a dragon chair under their buttocks.
