Chapter 178 The establishment of the new Ming Empire!

At newsstands all over Dongning Prefecture, newspaper readers held up "Dongning Daily" and read in a cadence the edict of support issued by King Zhu Shugui of the Ping Dynasty.

"Zhu Kezang, the king of Yanping County, has great military skills and the appearance of a saint. He has conquered the south and the north, and his achievements have been saved. Now, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty clan, I invite King Yanping to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!"

In various teahouses and restaurants, there are also storytellers holding "Dongning Daily" and interpreting and analyzing it.

"What? Your Majesty is going to be the emperor? Great!"

In the streets and alleys of Dongning Prefecture, literati, traders, and foot soldiers were all shocked by this explosive news.

Zhu Kezang also restored his real name in public for the first time!

The national surname is Zhu Chenggong, and his grandson should be named Zhu Kezang, the legitimate Prince of the Ming Dynasty!

Some people may ask, didn’t everyone in later generations call him Zheng Chenggong?

In fact, this term is completely wrong.

Various letters or poems written by Mr. Guo are all signed with the three characters "Zhu Chenggong"!

His original name was actually Zheng Sen. It was a mistake to use half of the two names in later generations.

Moreover, Mr. Guo has never changed his name back!

If the surname of Guo is changed back to his original surname of Zheng, it is basically equivalent to stating "I stand with my biological father".

But his surname is still Zhu, and the success of his national surname can be roughly equal to Zhu Chenggong's state of committing crimes and meritorious service.

Only the real Zhu family is slightly dissatisfied, but so what?

Throughout his life, Guo Xingye always claimed to be "the guilty subject Guo Xingsheng". Where did the sin come from? He was atonement on behalf of his father!

It can be said that as long as Zhu Kezang unifies the country in the future, those Zheng family members who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty will definitely be whipped to death and will not be able to become the royal family.

Now that the date of the enthronement has been determined, the Ministry of Rites is very busy, because it is already September and time is a bit tight.

After the year name is determined, the new year will not be officially used until he ascends the throne. The Ministry of Rites plans to hold the enthronement ceremony on the first day of October.

Zhu Kezang, a cheater, is naturally not afraid. When he ascends to the throne, he is going to do something showy and truly believe in the word "god"!

To be honest, Zhu Kezang is fully capable of establishing a new dynasty on his own. Now that he is willing to inherit the legal system of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu family should be thankful!

The fact that Zhu Kezang was supported as emperor was quickly publicized through Dongning Daily, sweeping through all parts of the New Ming Dynasty like a hurricane.

Moreover, the emperor's jade seal did not only have one piece. Different jade seals were used on different occasions and for sealing different documents.

As for "Wu", he is a war-mad emperor!

Since he became King Yanping of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has either been at war or on the way to war. The more we fight, the richer we get, and the richer we get, the more we fight!

Because Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian was sold to the Tatars by his own father Zheng Zhilong.

This date of enthronement coincides with the National Day of later generations.

Their Ming Dynasty has another emperor!

This is actually the name of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was very hostile to Zhu Ming, so the documents of the Qing court always called "Zheng Chenggong".

The biggest reason why he did not call himself Zhu Chenggong but called himself Guo Chenggong was because Emperor Longwu had died. If he called himself Zhu Chenggong, he would inevitably look like Wang Mang, a humble corporal.

In addition to the clothes, the emperor's jade seal and the queen's treasure seal also need to be remade, and the palace in Dongning Mansion also needs to be cleaned and decorated.

Before the enthronement ceremony was held, the New Ming Dynasty was very busy, and all departments were collectively operating, no less than holding an Olympic Games in later generations.

For the sake of convenience, the previous article has always called Zhu Kezang's father Zheng Jing. In fact, it is also wrong. Zheng Jing's real name is Zhu Jin.

The meaning of this era name is: the power of the king is granted by God, the world is peaceful, and the world is clarified!

If Longwu or Shaowu had an adult heir, especially an adult heir who was older than the surnamed master, and Zhu Chenggong took charge of the army in the name of his sworn brother, there would be no need to avoid suspicion, and there would be nothing wrong with calling him Zhu Chenggong.

Although Zhu's ancestral temple is not worth much.

But Guo Xingye can't.

After much thought, he finally decided on a reign name: Shenwu!

Zhu Kezang looked dissatisfied and felt that he was not domineering enough.

Of course, Mr. Guo Xingye did not draw a clear line between him and Zheng Zhilong. This was not popular in that era, and it was an unsolvable problem that loyalty and filial piety could not be balanced.

The advantages of claiming the surname Guo Cheng are obvious. He did not betray the Ming Dynasty by joining his father's team, and he also avoided the suspicion of stealing the world.

For example, the words "Zheng Chenggong the rebel" and "Zheng Chenggong the pirate" are often found in historical records of the Qing Dynasty.

As for Mr. Guo, except for official documents, he rarely calls himself Zhu Chenggong in public, but Guo Chenggong. Why is this? Is it taboo?

Unfortunately, both Longwu and Shaowu died. At this time, Mr. Guo claimed to be Zhu Chenggong again, and it was easy for people to suspect that he had the intention of stealing the Zhu family's ancestral temple.

The Zhu family in the Qing Dynasty were basically all killed, and the Zhu family in the Ming and Zheng Dynasties were all governed by Zheng Kezang.

From this point of view, "the country's surname is successful" has become the only option.

After all, if it was a formal surname given by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing court would recognize it. However, it was a surname given by the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty. It was impossible for the Qing Dynasty to recognize the surname of the Southern Ming Dynasty as orthodox. Therefore, it was impossible for the Qing Dynasty to recognize the surname given by the Southern Ming Dynasty.

.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's name was not taboo, and there was no reason to avoid tabooing his surname.

The Ministry of Rites needs to prepare the crown for the emperor to ascend the throne and a batch of dragon robes.

This is quite overbearing, but if the emperor with this title is not strong enough, it will be unworthy of his role.

First of all, there is the issue of the reign name. The Ministry of Rites prepared seven or eight candidates for the reign name for Zhu Kezang, including Ting'en, Qiansheng, Jianping, Yongzhao, etc.

Why is there such a name as Zheng Chenggong?

When the people and officials received this exciting news, they took to the streets to celebrate with gongs and drums.

Zhu Kezang didn't have any objections to the fact that he became a member of the Zhu family. His grandfathers both had the surname of the state, so he now deserved the title. Being Emperor Zhu was not too much, right?

If anyone has any objections, please go and reason with the Guards!

Of course, judging from the reaction of ordinary people, I am afraid that more than 99% of people support it.

In fact, in order to avoid suspicion, the best way is to ask the new emperor Yongli for an order to restore the family name.

From the Qin and Han dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian liked to mess around with the eight-seal system. After becoming emperor, she ingeniously added a sacred seal of "Emperor Tian Jing Ming Ming, the virtuous will prosper" to form a nine-seal system, and changed the "seal" to

It was called "Treasure", and since then all dynasties have followed suit and called "Jade Seal" "Treasure".

After Chongzhen's death, many of the jade seals of the Ming Dynasty disappeared in the late Ming Dynasty. Some say that the Qing Dynasty changed the engraving, while others say that Fu Fan took them away in a hurry when he left Beijing and wandered around the world. These cannot be verified.

Zhu Kezang did know where Emperor Yongli's jade seal went. It was buried in Wuhua Mountain and was dug out in the reign of Guangxu.

When Yunnan is recovered in the future, I will definitely dig it out and store it in the New Ming Dynasty Royal Museum!
