    In April, Yuan Feng led his army back to Yanjing, accompanied by Fu Youde's family and the Xixia king's family. Due to Li Mingying's stubborn resistance, the Xixia royal family could not be retained and was changed to a hereditary duke who lived in the capital and was not allowed to hold official positions.  As for Fu Youde's family, due to their contribution to quelling the chaos, they were granted the title of marquis and rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver. His eldest son still led the army to guard Datong.  When passing through Shanxi, Yuan Feng made a special trip to Qingliang Temple in Mount Wutai and had a long conversation with a young monk. It was rumored that this monk was Zhang Chengping, the great weekend emperor. However, the King of Han did not admit it and only issued an edict to reshape the Buddha at Qingliang Temple.  The golden body was rewarded with a thousand acres of fertile land.  Yanjing was officially renamed Beijing. As another capital of the Han Dynasty, it echoed Nanjing. Hebei Province was renamed Beizhili. The palace was built according to the format of the Nanjing Palace. The location was chosen to the east of the South China Sea. The project was huge, and Yuan Feng was unwilling.  The forced conscription of civilians affected farming and mulberry farming, so we had to move ants and build bit by bit.  The war in Mongolia has been decided. Zhao Ding'an sealed the wolf in Xu and pacified Mobei. Mongolian children could stop crying at night. The army returned south, and the people all lined up to welcome it.  Mandu Gule has been captured and taken to Nanjing to prepare prisoners for presentation at the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The Northern Expedition army did not stop and turned eastward into Liaodong to prepare for the attack on Goryeo.  When the King of Goryeo heard about it, he sent the marshal to the northeast to save trouble for his subordinates. Li Chenggui led his troops north and crossed the Yalu River to fight against the king's army. When Li Chenggui was halfway through, he thought that the army's pay, food and fodder were not enough, and their morale was low. They were bound to be defeated if they went there.  It would be better to return home and replace him than to die.  Li Chenggui's army returned south, occupied Songjing, deposed the King of Goryeo, and then installed a puppet. Finally, he could not restrain his ambition to replace him, so he deposed him again, moved the capital to Seoul, and went to Beijing with the vague title of having the right to know the state affairs of Goryeo.  Become a vassal.  The Han army was also an army that had been fighting for a long time, and the soldiers were very war-weary. In view of the fact that Goryeo had surrendered, Yuan Feng officially crowned Li Chenggui as king and gave the country the name "North Korea".   At this point, Dading in the north, the Yuanfeng imitated the Tang system, established the Anbei Protectorate in Mobei to manage the various Mongolian ministries, and established the Andong Protectorate in Liaodong to guard the fields, control the Jurchens and other ethnic minorities, and changed Dunhuang to Xijing  , the Xiliang Kingdom was the Protectorate of Anxi, and Yongzhenxi Xinjiang was established.  Beijing established a complete six-department yamen to manage Beizhili and the two protective palaces of Anbei and Andong. Li Shanchang was appointed as the prime minister to take charge of Beijing. The King of Han led his team back to Nanjing.  At this time, Nanjing has got rid of the shadow of the war and has restored its former prosperity and glory. The Qinhuai River is still full of people, with thousands of lights on the streets and alleys, and music and music all night long.  When the King of Han returned to the capital, hundreds of officials went to the riverside to greet him. The road was paved with loess, and the people cheered and lined the streets to welcome him. When he came to the Forbidden City, he saw that everything had been repainted. The Meridian Gate Archery Tower that had been burned by the war had been rebuilt, making it more majestic and magnificent than before.  Even the floor tiles in the square have been replaced.  After entering the Meridian Gate, there was a prosperous scene, flowers were everywhere, the palace maids and eunuchs were all wearing brand-new silk robes, the royal guards had golden helmets and armor, and the golden melon axes with red lacquer poles were majestic and majestic.  This is what an emperor's house should look like. Yuan Feng was in great spirits. He climbed up the tower and looked down at the Forbidden City. He couldn't help but be very satisfied. These civil servants were not good at fighting, but they were really good at construction. In such a short time, almost everything was built.  The Forbidden City, which was burned down by the war, was renovated, which is really a great achievement.  "This Forbidden City is really magnificent. I don't know how much wood, masonry, paint, copper and iron it will cost. Is the Ministry of Revenue's money enough?" Yuan Feng couldn't help but sigh.  Liu Ying'er accompanied him and said with a sweet smile: "Of course it is enough. Not only is it enough, but there is also a surplus. Mr. Feng from the Ministry of Industry budgeted carefully and took home all the leftover corners for repairing the palace. There is no need at all.  What a waste." As he said that, he pointed to a certain place in the city. Yuan Feng looked up and saw a magnificent mansion standing in the imperial city. It should be the residence of a certain minister.  "This is it?" Yuan Feng looked back at the ministers behind him.  A minister hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt down, saying in horror: "I have been wronged!" Yuan Feng recognized that this was Feng Yishan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He had served as the minister of the Ministry of Industry during the Zhou Dynasty. He also had credit for the dedication of the city, so he kept everything.  Come to think of it, he is a corrupt and corrupt person.  "I didn't say anything. How could you be wronged?" Feng Yishan felt guilty as a thief. A thin layer of sweat oozed out on his forehead, and he muttered: "That is the minister's house, and there is no trespass." "Oh, that's it.  "Whether there is any transgression or corruption is another matter. Come on, take off Mr. Feng's hat and send him to the Imperial Court." Two guards came forward and took Feng Yishan away. All the ministers were trembling.  If anyone dared to speak, Yuan Feng no longer wanted to visit, so he beat up his officials and returned to his residence in Wuying Palace.  Log in to 6 and support the genuine Wulin Empire.  On the streets of Nanjing, a certain northwest-style restaurant?The ramen shop, although it was already night, was still open for business. There was not a single customer in the shop. The boy was dozing on the chair at the door, his head nodding.  Suddenly, two customers, a man and a woman, came to the door. They looked like they were from the northwest, and they came specifically to this noodle shop. The boy rubbed his eyes and shouted to the back of the counter: "Two bowls of noodles." The female customer came again.  He added: "Another pot of wine and a plate of dry-cut beef." After a while, the wine and rice were served, and the two of them began to eat slowly. The boy began to doze off with a sad face again. Liu Ying'er said to Yuan Feng:  "Eat slowly, there will be a good show to watch later." Yuan Feng was confused: "On the streets of the capital, a good place, are there still people who can do evil?" Liu Ying'er smiled without saying anything, pointing in the distance and said: "Come on  "A group of men came over aggressively, carrying hammers, pickaxes and other items, and came to the door of the store. One person shouted: "The three-day deadline is up, if you don't move, throw it at me!" Yuan Feng immediately understood what Liu Ying'er meant.  I mean, it was just robbery, but with Liu Ying'er's ability, it was easy to stop it. Why did he pull himself here? Suspicious, he came out and asked: "Whose slaves are you? It's so late at night."  "What's the point of forced demolition?" Seeing the grandeur of Yuan Dynasty and the hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital, the man Wei didn't dare to do anything wrong, so he said: "My master wants to build a house, and this place is located in the northwest corner, so he paid for it.  I didn¡¯t expect that they didn¡¯t move after taking the money. What¡¯s the point?¡± The owner of the ramen shop came out and refuted: ¡°This shop is located on the street. It cost us one thousand taels of silver to buy it, and you threw away ten taels of silver.¡±  They want us to leave. Isn¡¯t this threatening people¡¯s lives?¡± The man said: ¡°Then we don¡¯t care. The government has made the decision anyway. If you don¡¯t accept it, just go ahead and sue. We are waiting for you. But I would like to advise you, if you want to win the case, then  It's just a dream." Hearing this, Yuan Feng became angry and yelled: "Is there any way to defeat you?" The man sneered and said, "Passers-by, don't mind your own business, otherwise you won't be able to eat.  "Yuan Feng said angrily: "I have no control over this matter. What is your master's name and his position in the court?" The man ignored Yuan Feng at all and clapped his hands and walked away from the street corner.  Four official officers came over, shook their chains and said, "Who dares to challenge Brother Wang?" The man pointed at Yuan Feng and said, "Get rid of this nosy foreigner!" Before he finished speaking, dozens of people rushed around.  Pretending to be a bodyguard, he knocked down the official and the evil slaves without saying a word. The man said harshly: "People from Han Xingbu's family dare to touch you. I'm tired of living." The guard slapped him in the face: "Ouchi guard,  You can touch whoever you want." Yuan Feng on the other side was stunned. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who was in charge of the world's punishments, could imagine the other officials. Yuan Feng immediately understood what Liu Ying'er meant by inviting him to eat ramen.  He looked into her eyes and sighed: "It is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to rule the world." After returning, Yuan Feng did not immediately start the matter, but looked for candidates to prepare for drastic purges.  "It is not appropriate to rely on the Military Command Division to do this. After all, such a secret agency can easily become too large. It is better to use the formal three-law division system. However, it is difficult to determine the candidate. Who will take the lead.  After thinking about it, a candidate came to mind, and that was Wang Xiaoga, the old brother of the Thirteen Taibao.  Wang Xiaoga has successively served as the officer and leader of the Zhuangban yamen of Luyang County, the leader of the Zhuangban yamen of Tongcheng Prefecture, the chief arrester of the governor's yamen of Gansu Province, and the chief arrester of the governor's yamen of Shaanxi and Gansu. Now he is serving as the criminal official of Shaanxi and Gansu.  He is a fan of Liumen. He is an upright man, and under his management, the Shaanxi-Gansu area is very peaceful.  The King of Han's order was sent to Chang'an Mansion in a hurry for 800 miles. After receiving the order, the executioner Wang Xiaoga quickly went to Beijing and took over the position of the chief minister of Dali Temple without stopping. At the same time, Yuan Feng assigned 5,000 veterans of the Northern Expedition to him.  Specialize in cleaning up officialdom.  For a time, the officialdom in the capital was in turmoil. Many officials with guilty consciences submitted their resignations. Some people tried to burn the account books of the Ministry of Works and destroy evidence. However, under the iron fist of Dali Temple, these tactics were completely ineffective. Yuan Feng, who had already pacified the world, no longer had any scruples.  Fight against corruption.  Feng Yishan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was imprisoned, and Han Defang, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was imprisoned. This was just the beginning. In June 66, more officials were questioned one after another, so that the cells in Dali Temple could not be opened, so they had to use barracks to detain people.  A large number of officials left last week were purged, and the old prime minister Hu Weiyong was not spared. His son Hu Lian fell from his horse to death on the street. Lord Hu, who had lost his son in old age, killed the groom in anger and was questioned by Yuan Feng.  , Dali Temple officials seized the Hu Mansion and found one million taels of silver sealed in the pond of the house of the old prime minister, who was known to be honest.    Below Hu Weiyong, thousands of officials, big and small, were convicted. Even Jing Zhaoyin's three squads and six bureau officers were all taken down and replaced by reliable sergeants. For officials with serious corruption, Yuan Feng imposed severe punishments and hanged them.  After death, the body was cut open, the internal organs removed, stuffed with thatch, and the body hung on the city wall to warn the officials.  While rectifying the administration of officials, Yuan Feng also reorganized the imperial court and established a large governor's office, which was divided into five military governor's offices: center, left, front, rear, and right. They were interrelated with the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War had the power to issue orders, but not  Directly commanding the army, the Dudufu is in charge of the management and training of the army, but does not have the power to dispatch the army.  At the same time, the cabinet system of the Zhou Dynasty was followed. There was no longer a prime minister, and specific affairs were handed over to the six ministries. The cabinet only existed as the emperor's secretariat. As for the ceremonial supervisor, it was completely abolished, and a stone tablet was set up at the entrance of the palace to strictly prohibit eunuchs from intervening in politics.  In local government, the three powers are separated. The Chief Envoys Department is established to manage civil affairs, the Envoys Department is commanded to manage the army, and the Criminal Investigation Department is responsible for the administration of criminal justice.  After the drastic reorganization, a long-unresolved issue was put on the agenda, that is, proclaiming himself emperor.  The name of the country is ready-made, and only the reign name needs to be drawn up, but that is also a matter of the cabinet and has nothing to do with the emperor Yuan Feng.  The Fengtian Palace was resplendent with dazzling lights, but there was no one there. Two young ladies from the Western Regions were admiring this magnificent palace with their mouths wide open.  Yulia, the young lady from Ganzhou, and Cao Xiu, the daughter of the Cao family in Liangzhou, both came to the south of the Yangtze River for the first time. The difference from the palace in Dunhuang is that the palace in Nanjing covers a wider area and is more magnificent, but the materials used  It was slightly lacking, but that was because Yuan Feng was a simple man by nature, so he ordered that the places where gold should be used be replaced with brass, and other cheap products that could be replaced were replaced as much as possible.  The two girls couldn't help but stare blankly. The cat in Cao Xiu's arms slipped down while she wasn't paying attention, and climbed up along the pillar. Cao Xiu shouted anxiously: "**, come down quickly!" The cat ignored her.  Look, he actually climbed behind a precious mirror directly above Fengtian Hall. It was the Mirror of Heaven and Earth, ground from the precious jade left in ancient times. Anyone who is not the destined emperor, if he dares to ascend the throne and sit in the palace, will be in this mirror.  There is nothing to hide under the illumination of the precious mirror.  The cat was hiding on top but would not come down. Cao Xiu looked imploringly at Yuan Feng on the throne and pouted. Yuan Feng couldn't laugh or cry. At this time, there were no eunuchs or guards in the hall, only the three of them. These two girls had always  Staying in Dunhuang, still maintaining its original simplicity, reminded Yuan Feng, who had experienced too many ups and downs, of his own youth.  Alas, let's just be frivolous for now. Yuan Feng took off his dragon robe and climbed up along the pillar. He was agile and crawled on the beam as fast as flying. He soon came to the Universe Mirror and reached out to catch the cat.  The cat with a weird temper was hiding here and there. When Yuan Feng grabbed it, he missed the slippery cat body but caught a thin and hard card.  When I took it out, I saw a strange square card, which was already covered with dust. I blew it and wiped it with my hands, and a face on the card came to life. My God, this is not me!  Yuan Feng was greatly shocked. He squatted on the beam of Fengtian Hall and looked at the card carefully.  Name Zhu Xiaoqiang Gender Male Ethnic Han Born on December 18, 1987 Address No. 189 Xiaogang Road, Chengguan Town, Fengyang County, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province Citizen ID number 341126198712183217 There is a headshot on the right, which is exactly like Yuan Feng, only the shape is different, it is attached  The short scalp is consistent with the image of "Funakoshi Sainan" described by Xia Nanyu.  Looking at the back again, there is a red badge on the upper left, with the words "People's Republic of China Resident Identity Card Issuing Authority, Fengyang County Public Security Bureau, Validity Period," written in the middle. Yuan Feng was stunned. He sat on the beam for a long time and couldn't get up, but that damn cat  He had already climbed down in a swaggering manner and fled away.  There is no doubt that this is his father, the legendary "Funakoshi Saio", "Liu Ziguang", his real name is actually Zhu Xiaoqiang, maybe because the name is too ugly, maybe because he admires the book "Iron Age"  The protagonist, in short, he abandoned his name.  My father, like Liu Ziguang in the book, comes from another world. Yin and Yang are separated from this world and can never intersect.  At this point, his life experience has been resolved. As for where his father's body is, it is no longer an important issue. Just like Zhang Shicheng said, his ashes have been scattered all over the earth, which is a kind of destination.  ¡­ The next day, Yuan Feng summoned the cabinet officials and announced something that was unbelievable to them. The emperor wanted to change the title of the country, and he also wanted to change his own name!  The name of the country was designated as "Ming", which is the word that came to mind when Yuan Feng pacified the Western Regions when he saw the sun and moon in the sky. The country names of previous dynasties all had their origins, and they never changed from their origins, and this one  The Ming characters are also very innovative. Although Yuan Feng was the orphan of Emperor Wu,After all, it is a new dynasty that he created by himself, so it is not impossible to adopt a new country name.  But the name change is really surprising. The new name Yuan Feng gave himself is three characters. Zhu is his father's surname, and Yuan is the first character in Yuan Feng's name given by his uncle Chang Yuchun who raised him.  The character "Zhang" is the name given to her by her mother Kuoko Zhentemuer. Together these three characters are: Zhu Yuanzhang
