After Zhu Yaoshi occupied Jinling and supported Prince Liu Ke ascended the throne, the first thing he faced was to give Liu Xuan a posthumous title and mourn him.

However, all the court officials in Jinling were cut down by Zhu Yaoshi in Hengxi, and for a moment, they could not find anyone to give Liu Xuan a posthumous title. Qiu Xingzhi had only read the Four Books and Five Classics, and was also ignorant of the posthumous method.

Zhu Yaoshi realized the use of scholars and hurriedly sent troops to search for scholars. He caught hundreds of people in half a day, but most of them had never been an official and did not read many books. There was only one old man who had swept the floor and poured water in the Imperial College and barely remembered some posthumous laws. Zhu Yaoshi couldn't help but be overjoyed and appointed him as the Imperial College.

But the old man refused to accept it, and Zhu Yaoshi didn't force him: "I just don't want an official, but I just gave the late emperor a posthumous title to the temple name. I have to trouble the old man."

The old man pondered for a while: "The late emperor was unfortunately in trouble, and the country fell apart. It was inappropriate to give the temple name, so he could only give the posthumous title."

Everyone knew nothing and had to nod and not speak. The old man looked at the standing position in the court and couldn't help but shake his head: "I think this posthumous title can be used as a regular posthumous title."

Seeing that no one answered, the old man knelt down in front of the spirit: "The late emperor encountered difficulties and suffered a disaster in the country. I think he was just a word of Min, and he was given the posthumous title of Min Di"

Qiu Xingzhi walked over and said, "Old man, how do you write the word Min?"

The old man was very embarrassed: "I only remember the pronunciation, but I can't write the words."

Everyone was stunned, and Zhu Yaoshi waved his hand: "Then change the other one you can write."

Qiu Xingzhi immediately said, "I don't think it's better to give the posthumous title of Emperor Ming, and I can also write an edict!"

The old man wanted to speak but stopped and nodded: "Okay, Emperor Ming is good, and worshipping the way of heaven is called bright; suppressing evil and promoting good is called bright, which is just right!"

Zhu Yaoshi and a group of military generals were already tired of these red tape, so they shouted together: "Hello Emperor Ming, then Emperor Ming, Emperor Ming!"

After being given the posthumous title, Qiu Xingzhi arranged for everyone to mourn Emperor Ming Liu Xuan. The scene of the funeral was grand. Zhu Yaoshi's soldiers all escorted Emperor Ming's coffin out of the west gate and buried it in the western suburbs. However, the team was tilted. Many people ate roast chicken while smearing oil on the filial cloth. Some even spread paper money, and those who transported pigs, cattle, sheep and other sacrifices actually cooked meat and ate it secretly.

When the people of Jinling saw this scene, they couldn't help crying. Zhu Yaoshi and his party dug a large soil pit in the western suburbs, then put Emperor Ming's coffin in diagonally, dug some soil, sand and gravel, piled up a large soil, erected a stone tablet and ended the funeral.

However, at night, the people of Jinling brought wine, food and flowers to pay tribute to Emperor Ming. Zhu Yaoshi's soldiers also left the city. Instead of stopping the people, they went to take the wine and food in front of the tomb to enjoy themselves when the people left.

At first, Zhu Yaoshi restrained his subordinates from strictly abide by military rules, but over time, he accepted the golden horse, pearls, jade, and jewels and corals sent by his subordinates, and began to hug the beautiful woman and drink heavily. Qiu Xingzhi was very worried and was evaded by Zhu Yaoshi several times.

Qiu Xingzhi had no choice but to go to He Wuji, who was also taking people to search for treasures in the palace: "Military advisor, no, Lord Sikong, wait for me to find you a few treasures to play with. I see that you are going to find you uncomfortable these days, why bother?"

Qiu Xingzhi knelt in front of He Wuji, frightened He Wuji and threw the jewelry in his hand and hurriedly helped Qiu Xingzhi: "Military advisor, why are you? It's not good to let everyone see it? There is something to say and something to say. I won't search these things anymore!"

Qiu Xingzhi shed tears: "General, now the lord and you are all concerned about enjoyment, and they have completely forgotten.

There are people from Mobei in the north and the army of Liang in the west and south to come to seek revenge! If this continues, we will die without a place to bury!"

He Wuji helped Qiu Xingzhi to the corridor and sat down: "The military advisor is right. I see that we are all about eating, drinking and having fun from generals to soldiers, even me! But in this situation, who dares to persuade the lord? I will try to sweep his fun again. I am afraid that he will be impulsive. After all, the lord has suffered for decades, and now he can finally enjoy it. Why don't you seize the opportunity?"

Qiu Xingzhi shook his head and sighed: "Playing with things is devastated, and playing with things is devastated. At present, there is only one way to pull the lord back, that is, to persuade the lord to ascend the throne as soon as possible!"

He Wuji disagreed: "It is too early to persuade the lord to proclaim himself emperor, and he will definitely be besieged by the world."

Qiu Xingzhi smiled bitterly: "Being besieged is better than being like Su Shouzhong. The lord has no opponent in this Jinling City for a while, so he thinks that the world is peaceful. If he attracts siege, he can wake him up, and we can retreat to the north even if we are not good."

He Wuji thought for a while: "That's right, but this is a persuasion. Wouldn't we just go to him and let him be the emperor now?"

Qiu Xingzhi waved his hand: "I heard from the old man that there are rules to persuade him to advance. By the way, this is called abdication."

He Wuji frowned: "These red tape fake models are really a headache, just say how to do it."

Qiu Xingzhi also thought for a while: "We have to do this matter separately. You go and contact the generals to suddenly present the emperor's crown to the lord at tomorrow's banquet, and then take everyone to bow. You also have to arrange some letters sent by the people to persuade them to advance, so that they can spread nursery rhymes everywhere. I will tell Liu Ke that he will issue an edict to give up his own throne. By the way, you have to tell the lord alone that Liu Ke gave up his throne three times, and the lord refused three times, and accept it again the fourth time!"

He Wuji twisted his fingers and said, "It's really interesting. No wonder we can't be officials. It turns out that we can't act."

Qiu Xingzhi made a gesture of silence: "When the lord becomes the emperor, we cannot be like this now. Throughout history, many of the meritorious and famous generals have been sentenced to death because of their great merits and no courtesy of the master! It is said that sharing hardships and difficulties is easy, and it is difficult to share wealth and honor!"

At the banquet the next day, He Wuji suddenly took out a crown and put it on Zhu Yaoshi's head. Before Zhu Yaoshi could react, He Wuji knelt down with the generals: "Long live my emperor!"

"I hope Your Majesty will ascend the throne as soon as possible and unify the world!"

Zhu Yaoshi quickly took off the crown: "You are trying to harm me, and you are trapping me in a place of unfaithfulness and unrighteousness! You must not agree to usurp the throne!"

"Even if we carry our Majesty today, we will carry His Majesty to the Golden Palace!" As we said that, the generals surrounded us and wanted to lift Master Zhu Yaoqiu up as he said.

He Wuji stood up and faced everyone: "Wait! If you really carry Your Majesty over, you will be criticized for usurping the throne!"

"We have already said it. If we don't give a result today, won't we bear the reputation of a rebel in the future?"

"There must be an explanation!"

He Wuji looked at Zhu Yaoshi: "We can imitate the ancient sages Yao, Shun and Yu, and let Liu Ke abdicate the throne to Your Majesty! In this way, Your Majesty will only be famous after imitating the ancestors! Now it depends on whether Your Majesty agrees."

Zhu Yaoshi covered his face and cried: "I raised an army with everyone. I originally wanted to clear the emperor's side and purify the court and help the emperor, but I didn't expect that the trouble would be like this today. I'm sorry to Emperor Ming and the current emperor."

Everyone refused to give in: "If Your Majesty does not agree, we will disperse back to Fanyang to avoid being disheartened here!"

"Follow Your Majesty to conquer the world, so that today, Your Majesty wants to be a loyal minister in Daliang, and we will not stop us. Let's go back to our hometown!"

"Brothers, let's go back after you have divided the gold and silver. I can't stay here anymore."

Seeing everyone doing this, Zhu Yaoshi wiped his hands off his face a few times and took them away, coughing twice: "Since you really support me, you have to follow me three things! Otherwise, I won't be the emperor!"

He Wuji was the first to kneel down: "As long as Your Majesty agrees to be emperor, we will all agree!"

Everyone also knelt down together: "I wish to listen to Your Majesty's order!"

Zhu Yaoshi stood up: "The first thing is that we cannot harm Liu Ke and the royal family of Liang State! The second thing is that this country is called Liang State. We must conquer the remnants of Liang State to jointly deal with the enemies in the north! The third thing is that we will not disturb the people from today!"

Everyone shouted long live, and they were endless.

In the next few days, not only did the people kneel down in front of Zhu Yaoshi's mansion and petition for advice, Zhu Yaoshi refused one by one and secretly sent someone to reward them with gold and silver.

On February 13th, Liu Ke's first abdication edict was sent. Zhu Yaoshi was about to take it, but He Wuji stopped him. Zhu Yaoshi understood it and knelt down and said he did not dare to accept it, so he sent the envoy back.

Later, two more abdications were sent, and Zhu Yaoshi knelt down and refused to accept it.

On February 25th, the fourth edict arrived. Zhu Yaoshi accepted the edict with a dismay, rewarded the envoy with a large amount of gold and silver, and was scheduled to accept the abdication on the eighth day of the third month.

Qiu Xingzhi and Liu Ke were equipped with a high-end Zen platform in the suburbs early and prepared all the equipment and supplies for abdication.

Under the Zen stage, there were civil and military officials under Zhu Yaoshi, as well as the royal family and some old men who were temporarily found. Surrounded by Zhu Yaoshi soldiers, soldiers holding long spears, long spears, big axes, golden gourds and hammers, etc. Liu Ke wore a plain dress early in a short dress and waited in front of the stage, while Qiu Xingzhi looked at Zhu Yaoshi with an edict beside him.

Zhu Yaoshi slowly walked towards the platform wearing a black dragon robe and a crown. Liu Ke and Qiu Xingzhi followed behind and climbed to the Zen platform.

When he arrived at the Zen platform, Liu Ke knelt down and presented the jade seal with both hands. Zhu Yaoshi took the jade seal with one hand and raised it in front of his chest. Qiu Xingzhi stretched out his hand, and everyone in the audience knelt down the mountain and shouted long live.

Qiu Xingzhi took out the edict and asked the ministers under the altar to kneel down and listen to the book, "I was advised by King Yan! Tang Yao abdicated in Yu Shun, and Shun also ordered Yu: the destiny of heaven is not normal, but only the return is virtuous. Liang Daoling was delayed, and the world lost its order. When I surrendered to me, the chaos was in chaos and the evil was rebellious, and the universe was overturned. King Yan Shenwu saved this in all directions, but only the Qing Dynasty was Xia to protect my ancestral temple. How could one person get a favor? The emperor's spirit surrendered auspiciousness, and the human gods told me. I was very proud of my order. I only praised him and ordered me to be ordered by the gods. I said: "You are the one who defeated Yu Shun, and I will lead my Tang Dian and respect me. In the play! The number of heaven is in your throne, and you will only obey the great rituals and enjoy the destiny of the nations!"

Although everyone in the audience did not understand what the edict said, they knew that it would be fine as long as the mountain shouted, so the sound of long live for a long time before stopping.

As soon as the abdication ceremony ended, Zhu Yaoshi officially ascended the throne. Qiu Xingzhi led officials of all sizes to worship the audience. The first year of Yanchang was changed to the first year of Anping. The country's name was still Daliang. Zhu Yaoshi ordered the order to pass on all directions to immigrate the world.
