After the six ceremonies of Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, announcing the date, and welcoming in person, on April 20, Zhu Youxiao issued an edict to officially canonize the Empress Zhang of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Zhang Yan's father Zhang Guoji was named "Guozhang" and Tai Kangbo, and Jinyiwei went to Henan to pay homage to the Beijing Division.

The edict said:

"I am the only monarch who rules the world and thinks that he is at home, and he is assisted by one person and is inside."

"I inherit the treasure calendar with the heirs of Chong Ling, only the ancestors are heavy-minded, and those who dream of the night are only remembered. Respect the emperor's edict, and the special edict asks for Ling Shu to match. ”

"I bow to use, only to tell heaven and earth, ancestors. On April 20 of the first year of the Apocalypse, the Zhang family was appointed as the queen, and the nine temples were enshrined in the middle of the temple, and the division of six pots was in the style of ten thousand squares, and the auspiciousness of Mao Kai Zuoyin was celebrated, and the celebration of the family of Pi Yan Bang. ”

"The announcement is at home and abroad, and the salty envoy hears it."

......

Henan, the first sunny day after the rain.

The honor guard of more than 1,000 people was noisy with gongs and drums, and more than 100 brocade guards dressed in big red flying fish suits walked into the boundary of Xiangfu County from both sides.

In the end, this team from Jingshi stopped outside an inconspicuous cabin, and the people gathered more and more, all of them did not know why, whispering.

At this time, a brocade-clothed guard Qianhu stepped forward and knocked on the door and said in a loud voice:

"The emperor has a decree, the eldest daughter of Zhang'er is the queen, this is the home of the "national abbot" Tai Kangbo, Zhang Guoji? ”

After a while, a little old man hurriedly came out.

The county government received the news that the county girl was appointed as the queen by the emperor early, and attached great importance to it, and dispatched all the errand soldiers to guard both sides of the official road.

Such a big battle naturally attracted the people to watch.

"Ahh A farmer with a hoe opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief: "Lao Zhang's daughter has been elected as the queen, and she has ascended to the sky in one step!" ”

"I told you a long time ago that Baozhu has the appearance of wealth and wealth, and it will not stay in this small county like us." A woman also said.

"Xiangfu County actually produced the queen of this dynasty..."The county official was even more exaggerated, seeing him crying with joy, he was even more excited than Zhang Guoji.

Zhang Guoji looked at the long line covering the entire street behind him, knowing that this was all here to pick him up, and said with a smile:

"Please, come in!"

"No need, you can pack up and follow us into Beijing!" Jinyi Wei Qianhu said with a smile: "The emperor has taken a fancy to your daughter, and has prepared three courtyards, you can enjoy happiness in Beijing!" ”

"Blessed, I can be blessed..."

Zhang Guoji repeated, stunned, as if he hadn't reacted yet.

......

Zhang Guoji, the supervisor of Xiangfu County, Henan Province, was blessed by his daughter and was the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, and he was shocked from far and near, and the neighbors and villagers were envious and hateful.

When many people heard the news, they worked hard, and they hated to give birth to a good daughter, so that they could glorify their ancestors in the future!

At this moment, in Beijing, the hundred officials received the emperor's order and rushed to stand downstairs at Chengtianmen.

They had waited for half an hour, had been blown by the cold wind for half an hour, and now they had quite a whisper, whispering.

The emperor called them to come, but he didn't arrive, what is the reason?

It didn't take long for Zhu Youxiao to sit upstairs with the sudden sound of Kaile upstairs.

At the same time, a group of soldiers strode forward on the street corner.

This group of soldiers, all of them are murderous, and compared with the Yongwei battalion trained by Qi Jin, they have an unruly temperament.

Accompanied by the passionate Chengtianmen Si Le's triumphant song, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army were full of pride and led more than 100 prisoners to enter from Donghua Gate.

They stood tall and stood outside the staff south of the Gate of Chengtian.

Suddenly, a general dressed in standard armor stepped forward and said in a loud voice to the emperor sitting upstairs:

"Chen Jisheng, the general of Zhenjiang, was ordered by Mao Wenlong, the chief military officer, to sacrifice more than 100 chieftains captured in the first battle of Zhenjiang to the Beijing Division!"

"In the first battle of Zhenjiang, the soldiers used their lives because we were willing to die for the emperor!"

"Long live the emperor, long live the Ming Dynasty!"

When the words landed, all the generals of the Dongjiang Army put down their swords and guns and shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Youxiao laughed a few times and said, "The Dongjiang Army is brave and flat!" ”

Chen Jisheng got up, waved back, and said loudly: "Take the chief!" ”

When the hundred officials heard this, they all looked back and saw that the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army were slowly coming with a group of prisoners.

Each of these captives was shackled, and each of them had a piece of red cloth and a red scarf with a large round hole through his head to cover his chest and back.

There was no need to give an order, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army took off the scarves on the captives one by one, let them see the majesty of the Ming Jingshi, and then kneel them on the royal road.

"Kneel!"

Seeing the appearance of these people who were fierce by nature and had braids on the back of their heads, all the officials were shocked, and some people were even frightened and wanted to flee.

However, a soldier of the Dongjiang Army found that he was about to move, and his elbows immediately fell to his head, pressing him firmly under him.

The Jianyu gritted his teeth, and broke free even more.

The soldiers of the Dongjiang Army knew in their hearts that the emperor was watching, and they didn't dare to let him move, so they drew their knives in front of the hundred officials, and without hesitation, directly cut off his two fingers.

With a scream, two surges of blood shot out, and the Dongjiang soldiers shouted viciously to the chieftain:

"Slave thief, when you see the emperor, you dare to be presumptuous!!"

Smelling the smell of blood in the air, the surrounding civil officials were all frightened and turned pale.

Zhu Youxiao was condescending, and when he saw that this group of Jianjiao was held down by the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, he was dissatisfied and angry one by one, but he couldn't break free at all, and he felt even more happy in his heart.

"Get out of the way, I'm going down!" On a whim, Zhu Youxiao got up and wanted to go downstairs to see it in person.

"The emperor thinks twice!" Gao Panlong stepped forward and said, "The emperor's golden body, if something happens, what should I do?" ”

Hearing this, the joy on Zhu Youxiao's face dissipated in an instant, and he asked coldly, "Gao Aiqing, where is this?" ”

Gao Panlong looked at each other, and the fear when he saw Jianyu was completely gone, and he said loudly: "It's in Beijing." ”

"Since Gao Aiqing knows that this is the Jingshi in the Ming Dynasty, what else do you have to worry about?" Zhu Youxiao, closely followed by Wei Zhongxian, said while going downstairs:

"These frontier soldiers, who used their lives to capture Jianyu to the capital division, if I don't even dare to look at it, then what qualifications do I have to be their emperor!?"

Before Gao Panlong could reply, Zhu Youxiao had already walked down the Chengtian Gate and came to Chen Jisheng quickly.

Chen Jisheng didn't expect the emperor to come down in person, he looked at Zhu Youxiao in a daze, and stayed for a long time before he came back to his senses and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

Halfway through his knees, Zhu Youxiao held him up and said, "This prisoner sacrifice ceremony, I am not only for the Dongjiang Army, but also for the world's warriors!" ”

"For many years, even if you don't have enough food and clothes, you still stay in the bitter cold land of Xinjiang for generations, fighting for your life with Jianyu!"

"I don't understand, why are you doing this?"

Chen Jisheng lowered his head, stepped aside, hugged his fists and said: "We are fighting for the emperor and defending the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at him affirmatively, then turned around and said:

"Gonggong Zhugong, I called you here today, first, to let you see what the Jianlu who is wreaking havoc in Liaodong looks like."

"These two are also to let you reflect on yourself, whether you are worthy of the current brocade clothes and food!"

"I called you in advance, but after half an hour, there were already complaints, and the frontier soldiers were beaten by the wind and rain all day long, did they have any grievances?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Youxiao took out a ginseng from the big sleeves of his wide robe and said coldly:

"This ginseng was brought back to me by Wang Tiqian from Phi Dao, and it was dug up by a child with his hands."

"She said she wanted to use this ginseng to buy food, Zhongqing, do any of you want to sell it to her?" Zhu Youxiao held up a ginseng in his hand, his tone became cold, and his words were heart-wrenching.

Gao Panlong and the others were at a loss when they heard this.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian, who had already realized the holy will, hurriedly glanced at Gu Bingqian, a member of the cabinet university.

When the latter saw it, the ministers who led the "Eunuch Party" knelt on the ground, and they all said that they were willing to donate grain to Phi Island, and the remaining Donglin Party members did not stand or kneel.

Selling grain?

Just like that, how much grain can you buy with a small piece of ginseng?

Chen Jisheng stood aside, his eyes red, choked and speechless.

The situation on Phi Dao turned out to be known to the emperor who was far away in Beijing.

He brought all the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army to kneel on the ground in unison, and shouted loudly: "We will die even if we die, and we will not be able to repay the emperor's grace!" ”
