Chapter 183: Self-Respect (Asking for Support, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

On December 11th, the weather was sunny and the sun was shining, which was a rare sunny day in winter. In the past two days, new news has come one after another - Tang and Li thieves were killed by righteous men in Tongzhou. Tens of thousands of Tang troops in Tongzhou surrendered. After learning the news, the generals of the Tang Army in other places also surrendered to the Ming Dynasty one after another.

In this way, people naturally breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it meant that the world was peaceful from now on. As for the Jingshi, on the afternoon of the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Daming flag had already been raised and returned to the Daming.

Since that day, people have been waiting for the arrival of the prison state. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, I don't know who swore that the prison country would enter the city on the same day, but the people waited for a whole day, not waiting for the long-awaited prison country. Didn't wait for the Emperor's army.

However, when the people returned home disappointed, they saw that the "Tang Army" stationed in the city had withdrawn outside the city one after another, and in the evening of the same day, more than 10,000 soldiers wearing red military uniforms entered the capital.

They are the Righteous Army!

At this moment, people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Loyal Army...... No, the Emperor's army has entered the city, will it be far from the arrival of the prison country?

Tomorrow morning, the prison will arrive in Beijing!

In the evening of the same day, well-informed officials got the news, and the news immediately spread inside and outside the Beijing Division.

The next day, as soon as the sky was brightened, there were tens of thousands of officials and gentlemen waiting behind the city gate, when the Chaoyang Gate was opened, these officials and gentlemen who had been waiting for a long time either rode horses or rode sedan chairs out of the city one after another, and they were all neatly dressed and placed incense cases on the side of the road five miles away.

Although the common people were not regarded as slaves of the officials, they could not stand with the officials, but could only stand elsewhere and wait by the roadside in the wilderness. The cold wind in the early morning of Layue is biting, because the time is still early, so the sky looks a little gloomy, but the mood of the people is happy, because the Emperor Lie still has heirs living in the world, this has entered the Beijing Division, and he is about to ascend to the pole. The world of the Ming Dynasty has been restored, and the peaceful years are finally coming.

For many officials, they hope that after the prison country returns to restore the Ming Dynasty, they still let them stay in their original posts for the sake of remembering their lost ways and returning. Of course, they also made a step back plan in their hearts, if the court did not want to retain them, they would be allowed to return to their hometowns, especially for those officials who had been in the Qing Dynasty, what they were most worried about was to hold them accountable for the Qing Dynasty, and they would be content to return to their hometowns and be a foot valley Weng.

After breakfast, when leaving the station, while the maid was serving and dressing, Zhu Mingzhong looked at himself in his glasses, and then looked at Qian Sunrui standing beside him, when everyone wanted to kill her, Zhu Yingsheng saved her life, and now she has become a righteous man who is a thief with a blade.

After meeting Qian Sunrui in Tongzhou, after knowing how Liu Ru forced Li Ziyuan to die, Zhu Mingzhong left her by his side when he was sad about the death of his old friend.

"Lone is going to Jingshi!"

Qian Sunrui just nodded, she opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she swallowed back when the words came to her mouth.

She didn't speak, just lowered her eyes. Looking at the face that looked eight or nine points similar to Liu Ru, Zhu Mingzhong pondered for a moment, and then said.

"If ......"

When the words came to his lips, Zhu Mingzhong suddenly changed his words.

"After you arrive in Jingshi, you can stay in the palace!"

There is no room for negotiation. Of course, she was not consulted. Now he no longer needs to ask anyone's opinion!

"I ......"

In the face of his domineering tone, Qian Sunrui opened his mouth and did not speak, but only nodded obediently.

Finally, under the escort of the brigade, Zhu Mingzhong and his entourage came to the outskirts of Beijing, and the officials and gentlemen who came to greet them knelt on the ground one after another after seeing the arrival of the prison country, and I don't know how many people shed tears, whimpered, and said words such as the blessing of the emperor. After the prison country approached, occasionally someone secretly raised their heads, and when they saw the prison country on a horse, whether they had seen the first emperor or not, they all secretly said, "The appearance is really the same as the first emperor." In this way, the cry will naturally be louder.

Zhu Mingzhong, who was riding on the horse, did not speak, and he did not have the idea of stopping, and came to Chaoyangmen. And in Chaoyangmen, the emperor's dragon chariot and the guard of honor have been prepared, and the guard of honor is also gorgeous and extraordinary, so not magnificent, which Zhu Mingzhong has never seen. Many officials in Chaoyangmen knelt on the ground and asked him to get into the sedan chair.

Faced with their kneeling pleas, Zhu Mingzhong replied.

"Although Lone is a prisoner, he has not ascended to the pole, and he cannot use the emperor's etiquette."

An official who knew how to flatter himself straightened up on the ground and said as soon as he heard this.

"Duke Zhou is not the king, but he is also courteous from the south, so he might as well take it."

After reading the book for so many years, Zhu Mingzhong naturally understood the allusion that Duke Zhou was not king, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said.

"If you are alone in the prison country, you must not be exempted from your courtesy, so let's take advantage of it!"

So Zhu Mingzhong dismounted, got on the dragon chariot, opened the way with the emperor's guard of honor, and walked towards the south gate of the imperial city. This time he did not refuse the sedan chair, he had to use the emperor's guard of honor to enter the capital and announce to the world that now the co-lord of the world has arrived in Beijing and will ascend the throne in a few days.

Along the way, there were officials and gentry standing on the side of the street, who knelt down to him and shouted, "Long live!" ”。 In their opinion, this prison country is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the world!

When the sound of long live came into his ears, it only made Zhu Mingzhong feel a little trance, as if at this moment, he understood why Li Ziyuan suddenly became arrogant when he came to the capital! So why did he get lost here.

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all knelt in front of him today, shouting "Long live"!

This world is alive, and from now on, it will be his ministers!

In this way, who will not be lost? Who can calm down? And who wouldn't get carried away?

However, Zhu Mingzhong did not forget Li Zicheng and Li Ziyuan, how they were defeated. How they lost their way, how did they end up?

He should not be called a chariot, because officials are not allowed to ride in a sedan chair, and it will be forbidden in the future, even the emperor. Today is an exception.

Looking at the imperial city that is getting closer and closer, looking at the familiar imperial city gate, it is naturally no longer the Manchu Qing Dynasty's "ordered by heaven and governing the country in peace", but restored to the "gate of heaven" of the Ming Dynasty.

From today onwards, Lone will also inherit the destiny of heaven.

Entering the Forbidden City from Chengtianmen and entering the Imperial City, although it seemed calm on the surface, Zhu Mingzhong's heart was excited.

For the Forbidden City, Zhu Mingzhong is no stranger, and can even be said to be extremely familiar, at least more familiar than many ordinary people in this era, when he was 6 years old, he went to the Forbidden City for the first time, but it was already called the Forbidden City, when he was 18 years old, he went again, when he was 20 years old, he went with his girlfriend again, and when he was 23 years old, he went with a friend once.

Of course, every time, he will definitely enter the Taihe Palace, every time he will look up at the palace, gaze at the dragon chair, and occasionally of course he will fantasize about the feeling of sitting on the dragon chair.

What does it feel like to sit on the dragon chair.

"This Imperial Palace is different from the past......

In front of the Imperial Palace, the reason why Zhu Mingzhong would express such a feeling was not intentional, but because the Imperial Palace was indeed different from the past - the Taihe Hall in later generations was rebuilt in 1695, not the Imperial Palace in the Ming Dynasty.

"Great King, before Li Chuang retreated to Shaanxi, he burned the Forbidden City, only the Wuying Palace, the Jianji Palace, the Yinghua Palace, the Nanxun Palace, the surrounding corner towers and the Huangji Gate were not burned, and the rest of the buildings were all destroyed. In the same year, he was captured and transferred to Beijing. After that, it took 14 years to basically restore the middle road building. This Imperial Palace was rebuilt by the Qing Dynasty, and it is natural to ......"

Without waiting for Jin Zhijun, the "hero" who dedicated the city, to finish speaking, Zhu Mingzhong said directly.

"Naturally, it's very angry!"

After saying these four words, regardless of the surprise of others, Zhu Mingzhong walked straight towards the palace, and after entering the palace, he only glanced at the highest-level and sealed paintings on the indoor and outdoor beams, and then walked straight to the Nine Dragons Golden Lacquer Throne, and then stared at it.

This is the so-called "dragon chair".

Throughout the ages, I don't know how many people have longed to sit on this dragon chair, and I don't know how many people have died in vain. They had no idea what this dragon chair meant.

What does that mean?

Is it the Ninety-Five?

Entering this legendary Jinluan Hall with the king, although they looked curiously at the pale black and shiny black bricks under their feet were slightly different from the legendary "golden brick paving", but more often, they would turn their eyes to the king and the Ming Dynasty's prison state.

And Jin Zhijun also looked at this King Huai who looked like the first emperor imagined very much, he knew better than anyone how the jade seal came from, but when he saw King Huai himself, he was a little suspicious and doubted his judgment.

Could it be that he is really the son of the first emperor?

From coming to the Forbidden City, from the words in front of the Imperial Palace, to the appearance of frowning when King Huai entered the palace at this time and saw the palace that had changed, he finally set his eyes on the dragon chair.

As an old minister, Jin Zhijun naturally knows that in this palace, only the dragon chair has not changed, and this dragon chair is still an old thing in the palace. It was made during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's changed here, it's the only thing that hasn't changed......"

This whisper came into Jin Zhijun's ears, and also reached the ears of many old ministers, their faces were all slightly excited, and all doubts faded away at this moment...... When they watched the king walk towards the dragon chair, they even had the illusion that they had seen the appearance of the first emperor ascending the throne.

When those old ministers seemed to have tears in their eyes, a word like thunder rang in their ears.

"The capital has been held captive for more than ten years, and the weight of Hu Qi has accumulated and it is difficult to return! I want to move the capital, I don't know what you think! ”

What the?

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be ......"

In a panic, people even forgot that Zhu Mingzhong had not yet ascended the throne as emperor, but in a panic, he used the name "Your Majesty".

Zhu Mingzhong did not refuse this title, but he did not sit on the dragon chair that was once full of desire, but just stood there, looking at the people in the hall, watching them sincerely try to persuade him to retract his fate, he took a few steps forward, and then said in a deep voice.

"In the whole world, I am the only one. I've made up my mind, so why not! ”

A domineering sentence without any explanation came out of Zhu Mingzhong's mouth, he just looked at these people coldly, waiting for their answer. These demos are all "old fritters" who have gone through several dynasties, how will they deal with these sixteen words?

At this moment, everyone was stunned, those who were originally going to persuade the emperor to ...... No, all the people who persuaded the prison country to take back their fate were all stunned by this sentence.

They looked in horror at King Huai on the high platform of the seven steps in the center of the main hall, and they suddenly realized that this king may be similar in appearance to Emperor Xiaolie, but he is by no means different from Emperor Xiaolie, unlike many emperors of the Ming Dynasty. His personality is more like Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Chengzu - because he has laid down the country, which means that he will never be like the successive Ming Emperors after his Yingzong, he will be at the mercy of ministers, let alone ministers.

This means that if they stop it with "the death of the minister", then the result must be "the death of the minister", in other words, they will lose their lives in vain!

Almost instantly, everyone figured everything out.

They even felt that this was probably part of the emperor's mind - His Majesty was using the relocation of the capital to test the people, and if they used the "minister's death advice" against him as the previous dynasty, then he could drop the knife without hesitation. No one will remember the act of "killing traitors" at this time, yes, they are all traitors, they are all "traitors" who came to surrender to Shun, Qing to Qing, and Li to surrender to Li.

They're all damned, it's just...... The king is looking for a reason!

In an instant, the ministers who were still saving their lives all changed slightly, they knew the temptation of the king, and naturally they also knew the result of the temptation.

If they resist, then in the next moment, the lead of the firecrackers may hit them. If you choose to be obedient, then from now on, the officials of the Ming Dynasty may only be able to tame in front of the imperial power like Taizu and Chengzu.

"In the whole world, I am the only one. I've made up my mind, so why not! ”

In everyone's hearts, they are chanting this sentence, this extremely domineering word, vividly shows the hegemony of imperial power to the people of the world.

Imperial power is unquestionable and unchallengeable!

In the past, perhaps, they and their predecessors used to control the government, but now, they can no longer control everything!

Because the emperor is everything!

Only the emperor can control everything!
