On December 18, the fourth year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Kuishan and others pressed Huo Jinliang and other captives back to Beijing.

Zhang Kuishan entered the palace to pay a visit.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"The last general, Zhang Kuishan, fortunately did not disgrace his life, has cleared all the traitors in the west, recovered Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and all over the country, please Emperor Mingjian!" Zhang Kuishan respectfully replied to Zhu Cihong.

"Okay, hahahaha, Aiqing and the generals have worked hard, when they return to Nanjing City, I will reward the generals for their merits and deeds, and I will never treat the generals badly!" Zhu Ci stumbled and laughed.

Zhu Cicheng was very satisfied with Zhang Kuishan and others so quickly sweeping away the remnants of traitors in the west. Now all the Ming Dynasty has returned, both inside and outside, and the generals of all armies have made great contributions to this, and after returning to Nanjing City, it is necessary to reward meritorious deeds.

"Thank Emperor Longen!" Zhang Kuishan did not shirk, and said with a smile.

At present, Zhu Cijiao still has one thing to do in Beijing, that is, to bury Emperor Chongzhen again according to the emperor's specifications, and he will return to Nanjing City when this matter is completed.

The matter of reburying Emperor Chongzhen is not simple, in fact, it has been more than half a month since the matter was proposed, but a lot of preparations have not been prepared, and the Queen Mother also plans to come to Beijing City to participate in person, calculate the time, the Queen Mother will take about two days to arrive.

"Your Majesty, most of the excavation work has been carried out, and all kinds of burial goods have been transported from Jiangnan one after another!" Qian Qianyi had full authority to preside over the construction of the mausoleum of Emperor Chongzhen.

The location of the mausoleum of Emperor Chongzhen is located on the north side of Tianshou Mountain, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty since their ancestors are buried in Tianshou Mountain, the location of the mausoleum of Emperor Chongzhen has already been decided, but in recent years, the Ming Dynasty has been in internal and external difficulties, years of war, Emperor Chongzhen in order to save money, has not dug his own mausoleum, and after the death of Emperor Chongzhen, Li Zicheng became a face to bury Emperor Chongzhen, but as a rebel, Li Zicheng of course could not bury Emperor Chongzhen according to the emperor's specifications, and it was impossible to help him dig a mausoleum. So he directly dug up the tomb of the dead Concubine Tian and buried Emperor Chongzhen in the tomb of a concubine, which inevitably meant to insult Emperor Chongzhen.

When the Manchus occupied the city of Beijing, in order to win the hearts of the people, there was also a matter of re-cultivating the mausoleum for Emperor Chongzhen, in fact, the Manchus had dug up nearly half of the earth and stones, and the surface cemetery was also repaired a lot, if it were not for the defeat of the Manchus in the battle of Xuzhou, perhaps the Manchus had reburied Emperor Chongzhen.

It is precisely because the Manchurians helped dig up nearly half of the earth and rocks that now Daming can achieve this level in such a short period of time.

"Try to increase the efforts as much as possible, and it is expected that the mausoleum will be completed by the end of the year?" Zhu Ci asked, in his heart he still hoped to rush back to Nanjing City for the New Year.

"Please rest assured, the Manchu people have helped build a lot before, which greatly saves the construction period, and the mausoleum fortifications can be completed in about five days, just in time for the burial on the 24th, when the emperor can be re-buried!" Qian Qianyi said.

"Well, that's fine!" Zhu Ci staggered and nodded, satisfied.

Two days later, the Empress Dowager Zhou arrived in Beijing, and Zhu Cicheng personally greeted her at the city gate.

"Sons see the queen mother!" Zhu Ci hesitated to salute the Empress Dowager Zhou.

"Hurry up, Emperor." Empress Dowager Zhou stepped forward and helped Zhu Ci up.

The Empress Dowager Zhou, who was less than 40 years old, did not look old, and her charm still existed, when she was 32 years old, she went south to Nanjing City with Zhu Ci, and more than six years have passed.

Empress Dowager Zhou looked at the Zhengyang Gate in front of her, she was the Beijing City that left from this gate, and now she has to enter Beijing City through this gate, for more than six years, she has been thinking about this moment all the time.

"Emperor, thank you for your hard work, you are better than your father, your father's spirit in the sky, can see you recover Beijing City, expel the Tartars, and reunify the Ming Dynasty, you should rest in peace." Thinking of the death of Emperor Chongzhen back then, the Empress Dowager Zhou was very sad.

She married Emperor Chongzhen at the age of fifteen, and she has been married to Emperor Chongzhen for eighteen years.

Zhu Ci smiled lightly, these are just what he should do as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't think there is anything commendable.

On December 24, the just-completed mausoleum of Emperor Chongzhen coincided with today's burial day.

Concubine Tian's grave was excavated, and the remains of Emperor Chongzhen were taken out for reburial.

The Empress Dowager Zhou personally covered the remains of Emperor Chongzhen with a clear cloth of imperial robes, put them into the coffin, and escorted the coffin of Emperor Chongzhen into the mausoleum.

As various funerary goods were brought in, the entrance to the tomb was gradually closed, but this was not the end.

"Lift it up!" Zhu Ci hesitated and ordered.

Immediately, a stone tablet covered with a white cloth was lifted.

The white cloth was lifted, and the stone tablet was engraved with four big characters, and there were a few lines of small characters next to it: not to be a minister, not to pay tribute, not to pay compensation, not to cut the land, not to be in harmony, the Son of Heaven was the gate of the country, the king died in the society, and the iron bones were strong!

Seeing such a stone stele, whether it was the Empress Dowager Zhou or Qian Qianyi and other important ministers who participated in the burial, everyone's hearts were shaken, especially that line of boys, showing the iron bones of the Ming Dynasty since the founding of the country, no matter how much Yingzong was captured by Wara, how much torture he suffered would rather die than surrender, under the city of Beijing, he was put on the neck by a steel knife and shouted that the Ming Dynasty resisted the attack of Wara, or Emperor Chongzhen six years ago, before the city of Beijing was broken, he obviously had the opportunity to escape from Beijing City, but he just did not escape, after the city of Beijing was broken, he would rather hang himself from the coal mountain, He was unwilling to surrender to the thieves, and left a bloody letter for the thieves to split the corpses, so as not to hurt the people, even Li Zicheng and other thieves were moved when they saw it, and they had to admire.

Not to mention how wise Emperor Chongzhen is, but at least the king is dead, and he has done it, so he deserves this stone tablet.

He believes that with this stele, the words on it will become the Zheng Zheng ancestral teaching, and the future emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Ci erected this stone stele, which is also the iron bone of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and it is also the iron bone of the Chinese nation.

The Chinese nation is unyielding, and only by constantly working hard and striving for self-improvement can it always maintain the most glorious page in the long river of history in the future.

Empress Dowager Zhou shed tears, and all the men present opened their eyes wide and their blood boiled!

The Daming Daily sent by the Nanjing Broadcasting Department recorded this great scene, and it will be reported to the world through the Daming Daily in the near future.

A few days later, with the distribution of this issue of Daming Daily, the world shook, and the chests of all the Daming people seemed to be burning with a ball of blood, some people clenched their fists, and some people shouted excitedly, venting this incomparably exciting scene, even more exciting than the recovery of Beijing.

Don't be a minister, don't pay tribute, don't pay compensation, don't cut the land, don't make peace, the Son of Heaven is the gate of the country, the king is dead, and the iron bones are strong! After Zhu Cicheng returned to Nanjing, this line of font was written by Zhu Cijiao into the ancestral teachings of the Ming Dynasty without hesitation.

Iron bones, rather unyielding, will undoubtedly become an inspirational message in the hearts of all the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and it is also the insistence of all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in the future, which will continue to promote the Ming Dynasty to a higher peak.
