Chapter 378
Then, Jiang Yao got another piece of news.

Jiang Zhengdi did not proclaim himself the crown prince, but ascended the throne directly.His edict said that his mother had ordered him to ascend the throne immediately and officially abdicated to him.

Jiang Yao became more and more puzzled.Concubine Silkworm Yao is the master of the Nine Kingdoms, and Jiang Zhengyi is the young master.For such a major event as the establishment of a country, shouldn't we wait for Concubine Canyao to come back?
You must know that Concubine Canyao has a high prestige in Jiugui, she can be called the ruler of a generation since ancient times, not just a decoration.

Even if Concubine Canyao is unable to come back due to important matters, Jiang Zhengyi, as a son of man, should respect Concubine Canyao as emperor and himself as prince, right?
But Jiang Zhengyi succeeded to the throne directly.Moreover, the officials of the nine groups did not object.

Jiang Zhengyi's character seems to be that if he doesn't do it, he will do it, and if he wants to do it, he will do it.He didn't call himself King of Chu or King of Qi like Pan Ding and Hai Yunchi, but he directly called himself emperor and called himself the Son of Heaven!
Nine-faced young master Qing Jun transformed himself into the Qing emperor directly!
In this way, Jiang Zhengyi became the only "son of heaven" and "emperor" in the real world.

Although this position of supremacy is only recognized by Jiu Jie, it is the only one at present after all.

Jiang Zhengyi's actions in this way obviously understand history better than Pan's.He did this, of course, to seize the orthodox opportunity.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the person who proclaims himself emperor first may really take the lead.

The opening chapter of the "Founding Edict" he published emphasized: "The world has been divided for a long time, the turbid waves are raging, the poisonous flames are scorching the ground, and there is a great Qing..."

This is very interesting.

It's completely the tone of the savior of the world, thinking that his destiny is his own, so the year name is "destiny".

What makes Jiang Yao even more uneasy is that the content of Jiang Zhengyi's founding edict has a lot of ink on the system of "My Great Qing", which seems to be relatively complete.

It is different from the state of Chu, which changed the soup without changing the medicine, and had a simple system.Judging from Jiang Zhengyi's "Founding Edict", the system of "My Qing Dynasty" is relatively more refined.

And the courtier who assisted in drafting the "Dazhao" turned out to be Qing Lu!

Qing Lu is familiar with Duke Jiang's reform.

First of all, Jiang Zhengyi made it clear that the emperor, the way of heaven came into being for the son of heaven.The son of heaven is ordered by the way of heaven, supreme, and is in the ninth five.

Legally, he emphasized the sacred status of the emperor.In terms of design, he is more advanced than King Chu and King Qi.

Secondly, the "Dazhao" clarified the official system and military system of the Qing Dynasty.Like the Ming Dynasty, the nine-rank official system was formulated.

The central government established a platform for discussing political affairs, and selected eight strong men from the nobles of the twelve major ministries as ministers for discussing political affairs.The Yizhengtai became the highest central organization of the Qing Dynasty and was directly responsible to the emperor.

The function of the political platform is called the political platform meeting, and the emperor personally presides over it.

Jiang Zhengyi can firmly control the meeting of the political platform by appointing and dismissing the ministers.Imperial power was further concentrated.At the same time, a gap was opened in the natural unity of the great nobles when they faced the monarch.

The Minister of State Affairs is Cong Yipin, and Zheng Yipin will not be established for the time being.

Under the political platform, set up nine governments.They are Sima, Si Li, Si Fu, Si Xing, Si Yao, Si Zhen, Si Fu, Si Qi, Si Cha.

The two chiefs of the Nine Houses are called Left and Right House Orders, and they are the second rank.

In addition, more than a dozen small institutions have been set up to serve as the assistants of the central high-level institutions.

One Jiufu is the central official system of the "Great Qing Dynasty".

And the emperor himself also has a royal institution called Shiyufu, which is actually Jiang Zhengyi's personal advisor. It is stated in the "Dazhao" that the officials of the Imperial Palace are on standby to prepare for policy questions.

It seems that the power is not great, and it cannot be compared with the Yizhengtai.

But Jiang Yao, who is proficient in ancient Chinese politics, knows that this Shiyufu is actually like Kang Mazi's early Shangnan study, and Yongzheng's early military aircraft office.

One day, this Shiyufu will replace the political discussion platform controlled by the twelve great nobles.

It can be seen from this that Jiang Zhengyi's wrists can be described as very sophisticated.Among them, Qing Lu must have come up with a lot of ideas.

On the local level, Jiang Zhengyi, like Chu State, changed the soup but not the medicine, and only set up nominal local government, such as county guards and county magistrates.

These local officials are also concurrently served by the original local nobles.

In Jiang Yao's view, the central system of the Qing Dynasty is relatively complete, mainly lacking the Ministry of Rites in charge of etiquette and scientific examinations.

However, at the local level, "My Qing Dynasty" is still the same as clan politics, and the monopoly of tribal aristocrats on local resources and power has not changed substantially.

This point is like the late Jin period before the Manchu Qing entered the customs.

Jiang Zhengyi did this, most likely on purpose.He has no intention of shaking the ruling foundation of the samurai nobles, and he has no intention of standing up for the interests of the humble class.

Jiang Yao can see from Jiang Zhengyi's "Dazhao" that Jiang Zhengyi is still a reactionary ruler.What he wants is to unify the world at the least cost, not to fight against the martial arts in the world.

In terms of military affairs, the "Dazhao" clarified the mixed military system of the Four Banners Army and the tribal military system.The soldiers of the Four Banners were incorporated into the Imperial Army of the Qing Dynasty and became the first main force of the Qing Army, commanded by the Qing Emperor himself.

The tribal soldiers are led by the major nobles, who are awarded new general titles, such as Governor, General, Dutong and other titles, and are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Sibing Mansion.

The core of the military system is the flag soldier system.

Each banner has only 16 soldiers and horses, and the four banners are only equipped with [-] soldiers in total, which does not seem to be many.But the problem is that all the soldiers are veterans of Jindan (Wu Zong) and above!Even the boss is a Nascent Soul cultivator!
The generals who have been cultivated at the holy level can all be assigned to the level of Wanchang, and the banner owners are all great saints!

With such a large-scale army with such a high average cultivation base, there may be only the soon-to-be-established Four Banners in the entire real world.

The flag masters of the four banners are all held by important ministers who have been cultivated by the Great Sage. Under the flag masters are the four arrow masters in the east, south, west, and north, and each arrow master is held by a saint-level powerhouse.

According to this configuration, the Four Banners soldiers of only 16 people actually have [-] saint-level powerhouses, including four great saints!

What Jiang Zhengyi did was equivalent to bringing half of the elite soldiers of the Nine Kingdoms into the Four Banners soldiers.He has the confidence to command such a powerful army, obviously his cultivation base is also very strong.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to operate the military seal.

The "Edict of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" strengthened the emperor's military power through the four-banner military system, and in order to appease the nobles, a system of titles was created.

Jiang Zhengdi created the fifth-class male noble title of the uncle of the prince, and planned to reward him wantonly, in an attempt to use the title to calm the dissatisfaction of the twelve major families and buy people's hearts.

Jiang Yao's expression changed after reading the long "Founding Edict".

If the Qing army suddenly entered Wuyu from the exit of Jiujie and stabbed the Chu army in the back, Panchu would definitely suffer a big loss.

When will the Qing army "go out"?Where is the direction of attack?

In the small world of Jiujie, which exit is only known to you?
More importantly, is the "Wanxiang Gu Sutra" in Qingtian Palace?Have you been taken away by Concubine Silkworm Medicine?

Thinking of Silkworm Concubine, Jiang Yao felt his teeth itch with hatred.

Jiang Yao was thinking about this, when suddenly a palace official entered the Yinming Leng Palace and reported: "Master Du Zun, His Majesty the Qing Emperor invited Lord Du Zun to attend the enthronement banquet, and the palace has specially prepared ghost food for him."

The big ghost smiled strangely and said: "Okay, I finally have blood to eat."

Followed the palace people to the Yuanqing Palace of the Qingtian Palace, the palace was already full of drums and music, and all the nobles of the "Great Qing Kingdom" were in sight.

The palace is resplendent and resplendent, surrounded by fairy clouds.High-end fine wines and delicacies were placed on the table, the atmosphere was solemn and warm, and the palace banquet was grand and orderly.

As for the master of ceremonies of the palace banquet, it is Qing Lu.

Jiang Yao was led to the front position. There were no delicious food and wine on the table, only a few cold pottery pots, which held the high-level spirits that ghosts love to eat, waiting for the fate of being eaten by ghosts.

From the perspective of ghosts, these primordial souls are all high-end and delicious, and they are good ghost food.

I really don't want to be treated badly.

Amidst the sound of bells and tripods, Jiang Zhengyi, who was dressed in a green dragon uniform and a six-in-one unified crown, took the throne.

The ridiculous thing is that Jiang Zhengyi has already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, but he still wears a mask.

Wearing a mask to be the emperor, Jiang Zhengyi through the ages!
Jiang Zhengyi wore an ancient and gorgeous blood-red ring on his hand.Seeing this ring, Jiang Yao suddenly felt a little familiar.

Ok?this ring...

He thought for a while, and suddenly remembered the origin of the ring.

It turned out to be the ring on the human skin in Daogu Mountain's Buried Immortal Lake.

That is, the ring of the Six Fingers Immortal!

However, Jiang Yao clearly remembered that the slough of the burial fairy was snatched away by Yu Yan from Qiyi.

Logically speaking, the ring should be in Yu Yuan's hands.

But why, it was worn on Jiang Zhengyi's hand?
Could it be that Jiang Zhengyi snatched it from Lai'er again?

When Jiang Yao saw the ring, she felt extremely glaring and worried.

What he didn't know was that it was Pankang who snatched the funeral slough from Yu Yu, and then Jiang Zhengyi snatched it from Pankang.

At this time, Qinglu, the master of the palace banquet, said loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived, and all the ministers kneel down to welcome you!"

What?Kneel down?

Saint-level powerhouses, especially the Great Sage, had an ugly expression on their faces.

That's right, since Queen Concubine Yao took the throne, the power of the king has indeed increased a lot, and even holy ministers will kneel down to welcome the queen.

But the problem is that His Majesty the newly enthroned emperor, like them, is also a saint-level cultivation base, not yet a great saint.Why should they kneel down?

Jiang Zhengyi raised his hand, "No kneeling, no courtesy."

Seeing this, Jiang Yao sneered in her heart.Jiang Zhengyi knew that the saint-level powerhouses were unwilling to kneel, but deliberately asked Qing Lu to kneel down, and then said he would not kneel. This is of course a strategy.

Over and over again, someone will always accept "kneeling to welcome", which is to boil the frog in warm water.

This person is really good at playing tricks on people's hearts.

Jiang Yao thought about it, according to the usual routine of the emperor, instead of holding a banquet directly, the rewards were announced first, and after everyone was happy, the emperor and his ministers had fun together.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yao thought of this, Qing Lu stood up and said: "The emperor has a decree, the Qing Dynasty was established... to confer titles..."

Then, a large number of official titles were conferred. The strong ones at the level of the Great Sage are all Dukes; the ones below the level of the Great Sage are almost all marquises.The quasi-sage canonized the earl...

Although Qing Lu was only a martial immortal and a new minister, he himself was made a Rui Zhongbo, and he was also awarded the Order of the Imperial Palace, and concurrently served as the Minister of Fu of the Sifu Mansion (Household Department). member.

Jiang Yao also really admired him.Qing Lu can be said to be the only person in the Qing Dynasty who can be awarded the second rank of officials with Wu Xianxiu.

The other second-rank officials are almost all saints, and very few are quasi-sages.

Then, Jiang Zhengdi also named Mi Yiyi and other four wives as noble concubines, and a bunch of other concubines.But the youngest concubines are all witch gods.

They are all strong men with genius aptitude, they are not vases, and their backgrounds are not bad.

Jiang Yao even suspected that Jiang Zhengyi might be using this method to expand his core team by accepting so many women and enshrining so many concubines.

It can be seen that the cultivation base and aptitude are not enough, neither the former dynasty nor the harem have a reputation.

Those who were rewarded as officials and concubines came out to thank the Qing emperor.People with a cultivation level below the holy level, such as Qinglu, all paid respects and knelt down to give thanks.

Qing Lu knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times and said: "Slave Qing Lu, thank the emperor for his grace, long live long live!"

Under the influence of Qinglu, many courtiers who feared Jiang Zhengyi and wanted to please changed their names to call themselves slaves.

As for the important ministers of the holy level, they just called themselves ministers and handed over their hands to thank them.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, slave...it's really me." Jiang Yao felt contemptuous in her heart.

"All the ministers return to their respective positions and attend the feast. I will not get drunk with all the ministers today." Jiang Zhengdi said.

The ministers actually didn't know the meaning of the self-proclaimed "Zhen", they just thought it was very unusual and sounded domineering.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the ministers of the Qing Dynasty toasted together. For a while, they were singing and singing, singing and dancing, playing the harp and the sheng. The hall was full of joy and excitement.

Jiang Zhengyi looked at Jiang Yao deliberately: "Dianshi Duzun, this is the soul ghost food I specially prepared for you, you are welcome, please."

"Zhen, zhen, dog-footed zhen." Jiang Yao secretly scorned, and said with a ghostly look on his face: "Then thank the emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

He looked at the high-ranking ghost food on the table, and the joy in his eyes was fleeting, but he said with a sullen face: "Your Majesty, I have been in the palace for several days, and your Qing Dynasty has been established. But what about your answer to the Ghost Emperor?"

"This seat first declares that if there is no exchange of the same high-level precious scriptures, Lord Ghost Emperor will definitely not bestow the "Great Wilderness Ghost Classic"."

Jiang Zhengdi smiled and said: "No hurry. I have my own precious scriptures that can be exchanged. Well, I can let you enter the Baojing Pavilion and let you look at the list yourself. You can choose which one you think can be exchanged. Book."

Obviously, he didn't want to offend the ghost emperor, but wanted to use the ghost emperor.

"Okay." Jiang Yao nodded with secret joy in her heart, "However, it's not me who has the final say on which one can be exchanged, but Lord Ghost Emperor. If Lord Ghost Emperor doesn't like one book, then it can't be changed. .”

Jiang Zhengdi said: "This is natural. As long as the ghost emperor can pass on the "Great Wilderness Ghost Classic" to me, I will treat each other with respect as a teacher and be named the teacher of the Taixuan Kingdom."

Hearing that, Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief.At the very least, it will soon be known whether there is a "Ten Thousand Phases Gu Sutra" in the Baojing Pavilion in the palace.

Then, Jiang Yao grabbed a soul from the pot and swallowed it alive, like a ghost.

Of course he can't tell the truth.

Moreover, he is now a ghost body, and he has a soul thought drawn by the ghost master, so he can completely devour the remnant soul.

Jiang Zhengyi saw ghosts eating ghost food naturally, and the only trace of doubt in his heart finally dissipated.

After drinking for three rounds, suddenly a courtier hurried into the hall, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, I just received the news that the Nightwing Department of the Demon Clan has established a Guojian account!"

"Well, I guess, it will only be in these few days." Jiang Zhengyi put down his wine glass, "What about the country title and year title? Who is the king?"

The courtier replied: "The name of the country is Great Liang, the name of the year is Zhenyun, the lord of the country Yeyi Xingkong, he calls himself the king of Liang."

Jiang Zhengdi asked: "Is there no civil war among the demons?"

The other party reported: "Not yet. The Night Wings only integrated the small tribes attached to them, and did not use troops against the Biluo and Kushan tribes, nor did they intend to send troops."

Jiang Zhengyi looked around the group of officials, tapped his fingers on the imperial case and said:
"That's weird. If Panchu wants to rule the witch realm, and Haiqi wants to rule the demon realm, they must use troops internally. But this Xiliang, although it has established a national name, has no intention of using troops against the eastern tribes. Weird, weird. .”

Qing Lu stood up and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, the Yeyi tribe is originally the overlord of the Demon Realm, and now they don't need troops to unify the demon clan. From what the slaves see, it may be that the war in the north is tight. The Meita Khan is going south, and the Kushan tribe is under the greatest pressure. Yeyi Starry Sky dare not use troops against it. "

The ministers nodded.This statement is tenable. The Kushan tribe is currently under tremendous pressure from the army of succubi. It is the barrier of the demon realm and an important cornerstone of the demon camp.

If Xiliang sends troops to unify the Demon Realm and start a civil war, it will destroy the Great Wall and split the demon camp, and the army of succubi can take advantage of the situation and go south.

Although the north of the Yaozu is also under the pressure of the demon, but the main territory of the Yaozu is at sea, so the Yaozu can break out of civil war.However, the Demon Race and the Shenzhou Human Race cannot break out a large-scale civil war.

Jiang Zhengyi shook his head, and said in a lazy but determined tone:
"You are wrong. Yeyi Xingkong is absolutely not afraid of a civil war among the demons. He didn't send troops to Biluo and Kushan, not because he was afraid of self-destruction of the Great Wall. Anyway, there is Shenzhou to share the pressure of the demons."

"Even if the Charm Tapir invades the northeast of the Demon Realm, Yeyi Starry Sky won't suffer. It's not his territory in Xiliang. He can even add insult to injury and take the opportunity to carve up the Kushan Mountains with the Charm Tapir."

"Xiliang's refraining from sending troops should be restrained by a mysterious force. He is very afraid of this force and dare not use troops abroad."

Has Nightwing Starry Sky been pinned down?By who?Could it be that he was tortured?

But even though Panchu bordered the Demon Race, it was difficult to contain Xiliang across the Demonic Poison Forest, which was insurmountable for the army.

Qing Lu said: "Your Majesty has a wonderful plan. You can see thousands of miles away, and the slaves are absolutely inferior. Dare I ask the Emperor, what power is there in the territory of the Demon Realm that can restrain the tyrannical Xiliang?"

This time, he didn't mean slaves, but "slaves", representing all the officials present.

Jiang Yao's heart shuddered, and he said secretly: "Jiang Zhengyi must know the existence of the ancient Yang family."

Sure enough, Jiang Zhengyi said directly without concealment: "The people who restrain Xiliang should be the ancient demon clan headed by the Yang family. They are similar to us, and belong to the remnants of the ancient Sui Dynasty."

"Their population is small. But they are very powerful and have a great influence on the demon clan. The Yeyi clan has always been afraid of those few ancient survivors."

"That's good too. With the Yang family holding Xiliang in check, we can delay Xiliang's unification of the Demon Realm, and it will be even more advantageous for us to be Qing."

Chu Zongdao, the newly appointed minister of state affairs, said: "In that case, please ask the emperor to check the troops and prepare for the expedition."

"Yes." Jiang Zhengyi ordered: "I will pass on my will, and within five days, the soldiers and horses of the Four Banners will be fully recruited. On the ninth day of March, I will inspect the army of the Four Banners."

"Decree of the Commander's Office, refine the Four Banners Commander's Seal as soon as possible..."

A series of decrees were promulgated, and the new Qing Dynasty immediately began all-out war preparations!
Jiang Yao has carefully analyzed every one of Jiang Zhengyi's announcements.His conclusion is that Jiang Zhengyi is very experienced in politics and is a very good ruler.

This person should be the Red Dust Immortal.

PS: I spent more than 2000 words describing the political and military systems of Chu and Qing, and took everyone to understand the system differences between Chu and Qing.This is actually necessary.Because these two countries are new regimes and important forces in the book, of course we have to introduce them.Crab, good night!
