Liu Kongzhao suddenly realized that he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to get ready.

Unexpectedly, in the face of the ships sent out by Nanjing City to inquire about the intentions, the Luzon fleet ignored them, and after firing a warning shot, the entire fleet went straight upstream along the north of the river.

On the Lion Rock, Shi Kefa watched the Luzon fleet gradually move away with a puzzled expression, and suddenly he thought of Liu Xi's headquarters located upstream, and suddenly exclaimed:

"It's not good, this Luzon won't be an alliance with New Amber."

It's a pity that Shi Kefa woke up too late, and the Luzon fleet flaunted its might on the river and disappeared without a trace.

The first day of the seventh month.

Early in the morning, Liu Ximing summoned all the officials of the city to go to Wuchang Wharf together, and Li Biao even sent 2,000 guards to directly drain the surrounding water.

Seeing this battle, and then seeing that Liu Ximing deliberately put on his python suit, Yuan Jixian, He Tengjiao and others were all shocked.

Is this going to be a big event?

Yuan Jixian looked at Liu Ximing, who was still pretending to be mysterious, gritted his teeth and walked up.

"Elder Ge, in today's battle, could it be that the prince has found it?"

Liu Ximing snorted twice and laughed without saying a word.

Dou Yuquan shook his fan on the side and said with a smile: "Gong Yuan waits, it will naturally be revealed later." ”

"How can I wait!" When Yuan Jixian heard Dou Yuquan's words, he immediately became very excited, "If the prince really arrives, then the elder of the pavilion is a great hero in the world!" ”

Sun Chuanting, Yang Yipeng and others in the crowd were also suspicious, but when they heard Yuan Jixian's loud roar, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

On the river, several Western-style sails were seen outcropping from a distance, and Li Biao immediately shouted loudly.

The civil and military ministers on the dock all looked forward to peeking into the river, and their expressions were all extremely excited.

Seeing this situation, Liu Ximing and Dou Yuquan glanced at each other, and both of them sighed a little in their hearts.

The orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not something that can be replaced by himself and others in a hurry, if it is a person who has no great merit, it is also a monkey who forcibly ascends the throne, of course Liu Ximing will not do this kind of thing.

Fortunately, he took the lead, Liu Ximing smiled slightly in his heart.

On the Yangtze River, Zhu Cihong and others, dressed in civilian clothes, had already boarded the bow of the ship, and from the bow of the ship, the figures on the Wuchang wharf were in full view.

Seeing the familiar figure at the front, Zhu Cihong, who had just experienced the catastrophe, couldn't help but reddened his eyes slightly.

"Taifu!"

Princess Changping and others are also familiar with Liu Ximing, and when they saw the huge pomp on the dock at this moment, they all cried bitterly.

Although the Western-style warships on the river shocked Sun Chuanting, Yuan Jixian and others, the young and thin figures at the bow of the battleship made everyone even more worried.

Jiang Deshen had already asked Zhu Cihong and others to change into bright yellow princely and prince clothes, which were very conspicuous at the bow of the ship.

Sun Chuanting, Yang Yipeng and other court officials had visited the prince before, and as soon as they approached at this time, they immediately recognized it, and several Wenchen immediately shouted with red eyes.

"Your Highness, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

At this moment, the Wuchang wharf became more lively.

The battleship docked lightly on the dock, and as soon as the ship ladder was set up, Sun Chuanting, Yang Yipeng, Yuan Jixian and others immediately surrounded Liu Ximing.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong led his two younger brothers, King Dingwang and King Yong, and Princess Changping led her two younger sisters, Princess Kunyi and Princess Zhaoren, and several people walked down the long ladder slowly.

Liu Ximing turned over and bowed excitedly, and a cadre of civil and military ministers behind him also bowed to the ground under his leadership.

"The ministers greet His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Dingwang, His Royal Highness the Yongwang, and His Royal Highness the Princess."

On the boat ladder, Zhu Cihong's excited lips trembled slightly, let go of King Ding and King Yong's hands, and walked directly to Liu Ximing and personally helped him up.

"Taifu, if it weren't for Taifu to save me, we would have fallen into the hands of thieves! Great kindness, mercy will never be forgotten. ”

As soon as Liu Ximing stood up, he and Zhu Cihong immediately hugged each other and cried.

After a long time, Liu Ximing let go of Zhu Cihong and pulled King Ding, Princess Changping and others to introduce them to the civil and military officials present.

Sun Chuanting, Yang Yipeng, Yuan Jixian and others trembled with excitement, and Yuan Jixian couldn't even speak.

"God bless me!"

The officials present cried again, and it took half an hour for Liu Ximing and others to surround Zhu Cihong and others to settle down in the Chu Palace.

Previously, the Chu Wangfu was used as a training site for officials, but it had already been cleared out by Liu Ximing in the past month, and it was just right at this time.

Along the way, Zhu Cihong tightly pulled Liu Ximing and refused to let go, and even directly asked him to talk in the carriage.

"Taifu", once he was alone, Zhu Cihong's emotions began to get excited again, "Now that the Nanjing puppet dynasty has been established, what should we do?" ”

Liu Ximing sneered, "Your Highness has said that it is a puppet dynasty, why bother with them, the ministers of Nanjing only know selfish interests, not loyalty, but there are still loyal people in the world, as long as Your Highness raises the banner, the rest of the provinces will definitely be attached one after another." ”

Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth, "Before my father died, he said that all the ministers in Nanjing were thieves, and now I see that this is the case. ”

After speaking, Zhu Cihong looked at Liu Ximing with emotion on his face.

"Sure enough, my father still knows people, and now only Taifu is truly loyal to my royal family in this world, and my father has passed down a holy decree when he is dying, ordering Taifu to assist the government and help orphans clear the world."

"The minister will live up to the high expectations of the emperor!"

Liu Ximing bowed down again with tears in the corners of his eyes.

The two gentlemen sighed again.

Liu Ximing said again: "Your Highness, the top priority is to agree on the date of His Highness's accession to the throne, and at the same time, the courtiers will be enthroned, as long as the matter of His Highness's accession to the throne is notified to the world, the loyal and righteous people who want to come to the world will definitely gather in Wuchang." ”

Zhu Cihong's face turned red when Liu Ximing's words were raised, he grabbed his clothes and said excitedly: "At this time, I will entrust everything to the Taifu, and when I left, my father said that he wanted to make the Taifu the Marquis of Bowang, and he would live up to his glory." ”

Liu Ximing sighed in his heart, Chongzhen is also well-intentioned.

It's a pity that he has already become a powerhouse, even if he is not for himself, it is impossible for his ministers to give up.

At the moment, he still took out the level of the Oscar statuette and immediately wiped his tears again and choked up.

Li Biao and other 2,000 guards escorted a carriage into the city, which immediately attracted the onlookers of the people of Wuchang.

Liu Xi ordered people to keep ordering gongs to open the way directly in front of the convoy, while hyping up the prince's arrival in Wuchang.

"Tell the military and the people, the first emperor and the sky, the prince should succeed to the throne, and now the prince Liu Ximing has escorted the prince to Wuchang, and he will soon ascend the throne."

"Wow"

In Wuchang Mansion, tens of thousands of people suddenly became excited.

"It's really the prince who is here, and Daming is saved."

"The prince and the prince are really loyal ministers, not like the gang of goods in Nanjing."

……

Listening to the continuous mountain calls outside the car window, Zhu Cihong looked relieved, after all, the people of the world are still in my house.

As for Princess Changping, King Ding, King Yong and others in the convoy, they settled down, and the suffering they had suffered for days was finally rewarded at this time, and they wept with tears of joy again one by one.

After cleaning the palace gate of the Chu Palace, Liu Ximing personally helped Zhu Cihong to get out of the carriage and walked into the carrier door amid the cheers of the crowd of onlookers.

In the carrying hall of the Chu Palace, the original throne has long been snatched away by the Liukou, and at this time it has been replaced with a pear blossom nanmu cushion brocade seat.

Liu Ximing once again helped Zhu Cihong to the throne, and King Ding, King Yong and others gave the throne on both sides of the throne in turn.

Sun Chuanting, Yang Yipeng, Yang Wenyue, Yuan Jixian, He Tengjiao and other bigwigs walked into the carrier hall in order with excited faces, and Dou Yuquan, Lei Hong, Huang Zongxi, Chen Zilong and others also followed.

When the people in the hall were almost gathered, Liu Ximing glanced at Zhu Cihong, bowed down and said loudly:

"Two months ago, the traitor Li Zicheng led his troops to attack the Beijing Division, and the first emperor and the first queen were killed one after another. Fortunately, the emperor blessed me, the heir of the Ming Dynasty, the protection of His Royal Highness the Prince and the king of Ding, and other royal children to drive Wuchang, I and other ministers of the country look forward to it day and night, and finally look forward to today, listen to the order of the cabinet, and the ministers kneel to worship the prince. ”

Liu Ximing is inconspicuous, and he has quietly seized the highest right to speak, but here he has the highest status, and anyone with a discerning eye can see how much Zhu Cihong relies on him.

At this time, as soon as his voice fell, Sun Chuanting, Yang Yipeng and others naturally bowed down excitedly.

"The ministers meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and wish you all the best."

Zhu Cihong's mood had already calmed down at this time, and Chongzhen had asked him to observe the government when he was there, and he calmly raised his hand at this moment and said:

"The ministers of Wuchang have contributed to stabilizing the country, please be even."

Sun Chuanting and the others got up one after another, and they all looked at Liu Ximing next to the throne.
