The valley rain is about to pass, even the northern land is a strong spring, and the tender green willow silk on the moat bank of Cangzhou City hangs low as in previous years, swaying gently in the breeze. The two white lamps hanging high above the city gate were already somewhat damaged by the wind and rain.

Under the city gate, the city guards dressed in filial piety stood there yawning from time to time. Although it is a troubled era, I want these village soldiers to be like a peaceful and prosperous world, and there is no vigilance at all. While they were yawning and chatting without saying a word, two young people dressed in white approached in the distance.

"Yo, Chen Xiucai, ...... you are today"

Looking at the basket in Chen Xiucai's hand who came over, the city defender asked.

"Today is the first seven days of the first emperor, and I will take the dog to the outside of the city to worship the first emperor."

As soon as Chen Xiucai's words came out, the faces of the city defenders who were still smiling and smiling changed slightly, and looking at Chen Xiucai who was far away, the city defenders sighed.

"Hey, I never thought that the first emperor had been gone for seven days......"

When Chen Xiucai led his son to the wilderness outside the city, there were many people in the wilderness who were there to worship the emperor, a few simple tributes, an incense burner, and a few stacks of paper money......

Since there are scholars wearing scholar robes, there are also cloth cloth people, among them pay attention to wearing filial piety robes, the so-called filial piety robe is actually a plain linen cloth in the middle of digging a hole, to the body a set, and then the waist with a hemp rope, even if not particular will be draped in filial piety cloth.

In the wilderness, the people kneeling towards the north let out a slight sobbing sound from time to time, no matter what their identity was, when they learned the news of the emperor's martyrdom, in the midst of shock, they all felt pain, even if it was a person who had scolded the emperor for being mediocre, at this time, they were also praising the emperor's heroic martyrdom while sobbing.

The death of a person has become a monument, and all the mistakes will be selectively forgotten by people, and this Emperor Chongzhen was martyred.

Just as Chen Xiucai was placing the tribute, there was a slight sound of horses' hooves in the distance, although the sound of horses' hooves was not urgent, it could be heard that there were at least dozens of horses.

"It's a brigade of cavalry!"

Just when some people wanted to dodge, a sharp-eyed person pointed to the official road and said.

"Don't panic, everyone, it's the officials and soldiers who are here, and they are under the banner of the Ming Dynasty."

Officers and soldiers?

Officers and soldiers have to hide!

When this group of cavalry approached, there were only a few dozen people left in the wilderness, and people looked at these cavalrymen with complicated expressions, nervous, afraid, and ...... It's just not the slightest kindness.

In the eyes of the people, whether they are soldiers or thieves, they are generally "bandits", but they are just the difference between "official bandits" and "bandits".

Su Sanle, who was riding on horseback, stopped his horse and asked the people on the side of the road.

"Excuse me, Cangzhou ahead."

Seeing that these officers and soldiers were very polite, Chen Xiucai stepped forward and said.

"Back to the military master, it is Cangzhou in front, I don't know who the military master is?"

Looking at these cavalrymen riding tall horses, looking at the bright-light iron armor on their bodies, Chen Xiucai's heart couldn't help but think secretly.

"I don't know if it's the soldiers and horses under the command of that general, it's so good."

"I am a general under the command of the general of Pingyu, and the general will lead the army of King Qin, and I will be in ...... in these two days."

"Ahh General...... No, Your Majesty is going to Cangzhou. ”

Hearing this, everyone was surprised, and in addition to the surprise, it was more of a surprise, after all, the emperor came to Cangzhou, this is a great thing, they ordinary people can get some imperial spirit, it is also a big thing that can be preached to their grandson!

Emperor!

In fact, Zhu Guoqiang did not ascend the throne, even if he was in the face of the persuasion of Shandong officials when he passed through Jinan. He also shook his head and refused, on the grounds that Shenjing had not recovered.

But even so, his camp has begun to give orders in the name of the emperor, after all, he is the first emperor's edict, there is this legitimacy, "ascending" is just a form, even if there is no such form, under the premise that the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, it is natural for people to call it Your Majesty, of course, on the other hand, this is also an edict to the world - Your Majesty has succeeded to the throne!

It is both an edict and a warning. Warn those who do not submit!

"Your Majesty, General Su sent a messenger saying that they have arrived in Cangzhou, and the officials and people of Cangzhou are using loess to cushion the road to welcome Your Majesty's holy ......."

Zhu Yihai, who was standing in the cabin, respectfully reported.

"Well, I know, tell Su San that everything will be simple in the future, and don't use the government and the people to cushion the road."

After that, Zhu Guoqiang asked again.

"Any other paperwork from somewhere else?"

Although it was on the way to the north, all kinds of important government and important military information in various places were constantly sent through post stations or special envoys, in fact, what Zhu Guoqiang needed now was not to "approve" the documents in various places, but to show their attitudes through documents, after all, now Chongzhen's edict of succession and the news of martyrdom have been informed to all localities, and how to show their attitude at the local level is, of course, a document.

Just like when passing through Yanzhou Mansion, Zhu Yipai, the king of Lu whose fief was Yanzhou, went out of the city for ten miles to welcome the emperor's specifications to welcome his arrival, and held the courtesy. This is to show his attitude, in fact, among so many clans, the one who was most afraid of the prince in the past was King Lu. Of course, he is most grateful, after all, in the past year, the vassal kings of Henan and Hubei have been killed one by one, and there is not one in the clan family, but the Lu clan is living a good life in Yanzhou, why?

The prestige of the prince is here!

In fact, not only has the prestige of the prince, but also the township soldiers who are trained by the prince, the Liukou is not without the idea of Shandong, but as soon as this side comes, the township soldiers over there are all annihilated outside Shandong, so that the Liukou finally did not dare to approach Shandong fifty miles, for fear that the Shandong township soldiers will destroy them.

Although he was surprised to learn that the emperor had passed the throne to the prince, Lu Fan still made the wisest choice - to welcome the arrival of the general with the emperor's gift. Of course, Lu Fan was also rewarded for his wisdom - Zhu Yihai, the younger brother of King Lu, was recruited to serve in the imperial front.

Except for a group of clans who served in the army released from the Fengyang high wall, Zhu Yihai was the first genuine clan, after all, although he was imprisoned in the high wall, although he was the grandson of Fengzi Long, he had been deposed as a concubine. Of course, Zhu Guoqiang also admires Zhu Yihai.

After all, he is the famous King of Lu in history, although his prison led to the dispute between Tang and Lu, but his fierceness definitely lives up to the emperor.

But right now, his brother's current Lu King Zhu Yipai is not dead, and he has not crawled out of the pile of dead people, he is just a "general".

But this does not prevent Zhu Guoqiang from using him as a flag, a flag for the world's clans, and he is ready to "use" those Fengzi and Longsun who are "raised as pigs".

"Great use", pork also has a time of value. It is perfectly possible to use his peculiar use at the right time. But that's not the right thing to do right now.

"Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, you still have to clean up his Li Zicheng first, so that the people can live a peaceful life again!"
