The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds in the sky. Even the spring breeze that was originally a bit chilly stopped today.

In Moling City, which has been renamed Nanjing, every household is decorated with lanterns and festoons, flowers are everywhere, and cigarette smoke is lingering in the sky above Nanjing City.

The original Hongnongwang Palace had already been renamed at this time.

In the Haotian Palace and the Taiji Hall, civil and military officials were dressed in brand-new court uniforms full of joy, holding jade plates made of beautiful jade, and standing neatly in two rows.

"Please change the emperor's clothes, ascend the dragon seat, and receive the congratulations from all officials!"

Zhuge Liang stepped forward, took the black and red emperor's dragon robe from the hand of the maid, and helped Cheng Hao put it on with Lu Kang, and then Huang Zhong put the emperor's crown on his head.

At this moment, Cheng Hao was wearing a dragon robe and an emperor's crown, with a solemn and calm expression, and then slowly sat on the dragon chair.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The moment Cheng Hao sat down, all the officials held jade boards, bowed in unison in the majestic hall, and recited Long Live.

Originally, Zhuge Liang and others wanted all the officials to kneel down and bow down, but Cheng Hao vetoed it. He established the Han Dynasty, not the Braid Dynasty. Here, kneeling and worshiping is not acceptable!

After all the officials paid their respects, Cheng Hao didn't waste any more time, and directly spoke eloquently, above the main hall, he began to discuss meritorious deeds and rewards, and canonized a group of ministers of civil and military affairs.

"From today, change the name to 'Tai Chi', and use the new year name from now on!!"

"In this dynasty, there will no longer be three princes, but two prime ministers on the left and right, and six ministries under it!"

Glancing at the civil and military ministers with excited faces, Cheng Hao immediately announced that Zhuge Liang would be appointed Prime Minister of the Left, Lu Kang would be appointed Prime Minister of the Right, and the two prime ministers on the left and right would be the top of the hundred officials, in no particular order.

Feng Zhouyu is appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, and from now on, the army will be ready for war!

Feng Lu Su is the Minister of the Ministry of Households, in charge of logistical matters such as money and food!

 …

In addition to the changes in the civil service system, even the general system has also changed. Cheng Hao abolished all the messy names of generals in the Han Dynasty, and divided them into three ranks: general, colonel, and lieutenant.

Seal Huang Zhong as a general, guard Nanjing, and deal with foreign wars at any time!

Make Wei Yan a lieutenant general and command the Imperial Forest Army!

Feng Gan Ning, Sun Ce, Tai Shici, Huang Gai and others were major generals, each leading an army, guarding the counties in the east of the Yangtze River, and ready to go out at any time!

In addition to the civil and military ministers under his command being granted titles, Cheng Hao also wantonly added titles to other princes from all walks of life!

Cao Cao was named Marquis of Wei, Yuan Shao was named Marquis of Ping, Liu Yan of Yizhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou and others all received rewards, but the original governors of Yizhou, Jingzhou and other places were all replaced by Cheng Hao. Whether you admit it or not, you are all officials under my rule, if you don't accept it, you will rebel!

"From today onwards, I am ascended to the throne of the Son of Heaven, and I am ordered by the heavens, and I will live forever! Divide the feudal lords, bestow nobles on all the ministers, and benefit all the people, there must be no mistake!"

Cheng Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief after being entrusted in the court for more than half an hour. Being the emperor is really not an easy job.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After listening to the emperor's golden words, under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, nearly a hundred civil and military officials in the hall bowed and saluted, shouting long live.

After dealing with the matters in the court hall, Cheng Hao stood up and looked around, and then said loudly like a bell: "Everyone, let me set up the ancestral altar with me, and worship the ancestors of the Han Dynasty!"

Going up to the heavens and offering sacrifices to the emperors of the Han Dynasty is an indispensable item in the enthronement ceremony. Only in this way, Cheng Hao, the new emperor, can be regarded as justified.

 …

After a busy day, after returning from worshiping the ancestors, Cheng Hao sat in the Tai Chi Hall and gave the first order after he ascended the throne.

"Let Zhou Yu be the governor of the South, and put down all the tribes in the South!"

"The required soldiers and supplies, after drawing up a plan, report it to the left and right prime ministers!"

Mei Zhoulang came out more and more, took off the red civil servant robe on his body, revealing a gleaming silver armor, bowed his fists and said: "Minister, lead!"

"Qizou Your Majesty, I just don't know if His Majesty wants to subdue all the Southern Man tribes, or kill them all?"

"Those who don't surrender will be killed without mercy!" Cheng Hao spit out these words coldly, and issued a principle for this battle!

Regarding Cheng Hao's edict, even some pedantic civil servants like Lu Kang did not speak out against it. It is true that since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the various ministries of the Southern Barbarians have surrendered and surrendered. They often attacked and killed Han people wantonly. , Looting property has become a big sore, and now it has reached the point where it cannot be cured!

"Kong Ming, I ask you to draft two imperial edicts, summoning Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, and Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, to Beijing to report their duties!"

"Admiral Huang Zhong listened to the order and asked you to prepare the three armies. If Liu Biao and Liu Yan disobeyed the order and disrespected, send troops immediately. First take Yizhou and then go to Jingzhou. Within half a year, I will let the entire area south of the Yangtze River, There can only be one voice!"

"Lu Kang, write your book to announce the establishment of the orthodox Han Dynasty. At the same time, spread the word to the world. The civil and military imperial examinations will be launched in March this year. All capable people in the world can come to participate in the imperial examinations. No matter their status or status, they only look at their talents. Those who have the ability to make the list can all be officials!"

"Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, let the two of you start expanding the water army and forming a navy at the same time. Apart from the Han land, it will also be my goal in the future. Wherever the sun and the moon shine, it will be my Han land!"

 …

After promulgating more than ten edicts in a row, Cheng Hao dealt with all kinds of major issues that need to be dealt with after the founding of the country. After a busy day, he finally breathed a sigh of relief after Zhong Dahong retreated from the court.

At the end of the court meeting, Cheng Hao did not leave immediately, but led all the ministers to the side hall for a banquet. After drinking for three rounds, the banquet ended.

Smelling of alcohol, Cheng Hao returned to the harem, drank the tea that Tang Yueyao had already brewed, and chatted with Empress Dowager He who had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty, now that you are the Son of Heaven, it is reasonable to say that the harem should not be involved in politics, but you are ruling the world today, but why didn't you entrust your grandfather's He family? You must know that the first pot of gold for our army was provided by the He family. !"

"It's not urgent!" Cheng Hao shook his head, "When I rule the world in the future, I will naturally reward you again!"

"That's fine, as long as you know it in your heart!" Empress Dowager He nodded, "As a woman, I don't know much about court affairs, but I do know something about the harem."

"Since Your Majesty has ascended the throne, it is time to establish a perfect hierarchy in the harem, otherwise there will be more women in the harem, and there will be troubles!"

Cheng Hao pondered for a while, then nodded, "That's true. Tomorrow, I will announce to the world that Yueyao will be conferred the title of empress, the mother of the world, and the commander of the harem!"

"As for the hierarchy system in the harem, there is no rush for this matter. I have no plans to take in any more concubines. Yueyao alone in the harem is enough!"

Cheng Hao has long since lost much interest in ordinary people's love affairs. Having too many women is a trouble for him. It is enough for Tang Yueyao to manage the maids and eunuchs in the harem alone. He doesn't want to worry about the harem affairs.

"Oh? Your Majesty, are you not going to accept another concubine?"

Empress Dowager He glanced at Tang Yueyao in some surprise, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident, okay, this method is fine, even the emperor who can fool the emperor no longer expands the harem!
