"Emperor, this is the ceremony agreed by several princes in Nanjing to pay homage to the filial piety mausoleum, and I will present it to the emperor for a purpose......"

Lu Jiude hung his hands and stood respectfully in a small pavilion by the pond in the back garden of the Xipu Palace. Emperor Chongzhen was walking in the garden with Wei Qinghui, the waiter with a big belly, and had just arrived at this pavilion to rest.

Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and tomorrow is the first day of the first month of the eighteenth year of Chongzhen - this is the most troublesome day for the Chongzhen Emperor!

Because the crown prince Zhu Cihong has already said that most of the ten high-ranking military officials, the governors and generals outside, have already handed over the persuasion of the march, dozens of vase princes raised in Nanjing City, what King Qin, King Jin, King Zhou, King Heng, King De, King Gui, King Lu, King Min, King Shen, King Gui, King Jing, and as many as 23 county kings, have also been persuaded to advance, please Prince Zhu is on the throne early!

And the King of Lu and the King of Tang, who led the soldiers outside, even played every three or five times, crying and shouting for Zhu Cihong to be the emperor, as if Zhu Cihong did not usurp the throne of Chongzhen, this day will not be able to pass, and the Ming Dynasty will be finished.

This group of princes is really not worthy of being the descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao!

However, not all the ministers, vassal kings, and county kings are traitors, there are still good people, Zhu Cijiong, the acting king, and Zhu Cizhao, the Yongwang king, did not go to the chapter to let Chongzhen abdicate, and the king of Jingjiang, whose fief was in Guilin, did not go to the chapter to let Chongzhen stop doing it.

There are also Shi Kefa, the governor of the seven provinces, Gao Hongtu, the governor of Shandong, Wang Yongji, the governor of the three sides, Jiang Ping, the general soldier of Datong, Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, Shen Youlong, the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong, Fang Zhenru, the governor of Guangxi, He Tengjiao, the governor of Hunan, and Wu Zhiping, the governor of Fujian.

In addition, the Governor of Hubei Military Affairs, Wuchang Marquis Zuo Liangyu not only did not persuade Zhu Cihong to go further, but also openly supported Emperor Chongzhen and opposed Zhu Cihong's usurpation of the throne! It is precisely because the Ming Dynasty still has such loyalty and goodness that the rebel son Zhu Cihong hesitated on the issue of usurpation, so that Emperor Chongzhen had Chongzhen for 18 years.

However, the filial piety of the ancestors on the first day of the first month of the eighteenth year of Chongzhen made Emperor Chongzhen feel in danger...... Once he wept bitterly in front of the mausoleum of his ancestors, then the kings and ministers in Beijing could push the boat down the river and put forward the inner meditation!

At that time, the rebel son Cihong will be able to reach the top with the support of everyone...... How good is that?

"Emperor! The Emperor ......"

Wei Yuhui's sweet and crisp voice sounded in the ears of Emperor Chongzhen, who was distracted, and Emperor Chongzhen realized that he had lost his temper.

He took the piece handed over by Lu Jiude and watched it in the pavilion. The song was given to Chongzhen in the name of the joint name of the kings of Beijing - some of the waste snacks that had escaped from the capital were not used, but Zhu Cihong found the little remaining use value on them.

These people can be used as representatives of the Daming Sect!

They can represent at least 100,000 clan members who are still alive and loyal to the Ming Dynasty to propose and agree to clan reform methods. It can also represent hundreds of thousands of Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants and ask the leader of the Chongzhen Emperor to give way to the wise and martial prince Zhu Cihong!.

Of course, on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of children of the Ming Dynasty, they can still resolutely demand the abolition of the tax incentives of the clan - the tax incentives of the clan have been abolished, and those high-spirited scholars and doctors still have reason to continue to enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment without paying taxes?

So these princes are so valuable!

Now there are a total of thirty-three princes raised in Nanjing, of which ten are princes and twenty-three are county kings - this Ming Dynasty county king is very flooded, there are hundreds! However, thanks to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's blessings, most of the county kings have been eliminated or have been killed by Zhu Cihong under the pretext of losing the domain. Now there are only 26 county kings who have been recognized by Zhu Cihong, among which the king of Jingjiang is in Guilin, the king of Ruyang Zhu Yulu is in Ruyang, and the king of Zhenyang Zhu Yuyi is in Zhenyang, and they don't need to look at Zhu Cihong's face to eat.

The king in Nanjing, on the other hand, was a mansion, with the prince giving 10,000 acres of land and the county king giving 5,000 acres of land. If they still want money to spend, they have to do things for Zhu Cihong - even if they have a conscience to help the prince usurp the throne, they have to do it!

And the ten princes and twenty-three county kings who rely on Zhu Cihong to eat, a total of thirty-three kings, all of them are "Liu Wang", that is, kings who will "repeat grades", and the title will be lowered on behalf of the people, and they will be passed on for several generations.

In addition, only the prince can attack the lord, and the concubines have to come out to work, in fact, they want Zhu Cihong to enjoy the meal.

So these thirty-three princes treat the prince as a good man, and the prince will do whatever he asks him to do - they won't be anything else, they will be obedient!

Now what good can be the ceremony agreed by these bastard princes to Emperor Chongzhen to worship the filial piety tomb? In addition to kowtowing and asking for sin, it is to ask for sin...... I don't know if I'll break my head!

Before Chongzhen finished reading the recital, he couldn't help but curse, "This group of wastes is really damned, they dare to bully me!" It's so damning......"

scolded on his lips, but he felt powerless in his heart. Now that the princes are all in the hands of the prince, if they are not obedient, the whole family can't even eat...... Most of them are princes who have endured hardships, and they know that today's happy life is not easy to come by!

Lu Jiude also knew that this group of princes was held by Prince Zhu, and if the thirty-three kings took the yellow robe and put it on Zhu Cihong's body, Chongzhen would really be too good!

So this matter really can't be carried hard, you have to use clever tricks......

"Emperor," Lu Jiude was still loyal, took two steps forward, and arrived at Emperor Chongzhen's side, "The slave has a plan to delay the army, and he can slow down the ...... a little."

"What a plan, say it quickly!" Chongzhen asked anxiously.

Lu Jiude pointed to the pond beside him: "Emperor, the water is too cold, the water is too cold......
