Suddenly looked at by these many people, Zhu Qiyu, who was originally a little distracted, suddenly panicked, and then understood what they meant, and his whole heart immediately beat like a drum, only to feel a dry mouth, surprised and inexplicable.

Regarding the fact that the imperial brother was captured by the Mongols, Zhu Qiyu was still quite nervous and unhappy. Although he and Zhu Qizhen are not compatriots of the same mother, their relationship has always been good, otherwise when the latter personally conquered the Northern Expedition, he would not have handed over the important responsibility of staying in the capital to him.

As a descendant of the Zhu family, Zhu Qiyu felt that his life would be able to see the end at a glance in the future, nothing more than when he was driven to the local area by an edict from the Son of Heaven, and then he could only be an idle prince who had no real power in the local area, but could enjoy all the wealth and glory, until he died, maybe he could get a title.

Even if he touched the taste of power some time ago and became a little interested in it, Zhu Qiyu still never moved even a little bit of his mind that maybe he could really become the lord of this empire one day. It's not that he is arrogant, it's really a predetermined reputation, and there can be no such good thing in the world.

But the world is so unpredictable, his imperial brother actually fell into the hands of the Mengren, and looking at the meaning of these officials, it seems that they do have the intention of making themselves the emperor. Even the Queen Mother seems to have moved this idea, otherwise she wouldn't have to be present at all for today's edict.

After understanding all this and being looked at by so many people with such eyes, it is false to say that Zhu Qiyu does not feel a burst of excitement. But in addition to the excitement, he felt a burst of pressure, thinking about what kind of situation he would face when he sat in this position now, did he really have the ability, or luck, to get over this hurdle?

As soon as his mind turned, Zhu Qiyu thought of the history of the Great Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago. At that time, the Jin soldiers were in the city, and Song Huizong, who was the emperor, suddenly abdicated and gave the throne to his son Emperor Qinzong, so there was the Jingkang Change, and the two Song Dynasty emperors fell into the hands of the enemy at the same time.

Thinking that the problems he faced did not look much better than at the beginning, and now that there were few defenders in Beijing, Zhu Qiyu felt even more empty in his heart, and he just wanted to refuse.

“…… Servant King! Just when he was entangled, a voice pulled him out of his thoughts, but he saw that the Queen Mother was looking at him expectantly: "King Yu, you are the brother of the Son of Heaven, the second son of Emperor Xuanzong, and now that the country is in danger, only you can sit in this position on behalf of your imperial brother." What do you think? ”

"Yes, Your Highness, so far, only you have the ability to turn the tide and reunite the morale of the people of my Ming Dynasty, and I hope that Your Highness will put the world first, don't shirk." Yu Qian also persuaded him.

With these two people taking the lead, the other officials finally had less worries and echoed one after another, and at the same time looked at Zhu Qiyu: "Please also ask King Yu to put the world first and take the throne as my great tomorrow!" ”

"No...... Not! How can this be done, I'm just a vassal king, and I have never had such rules. Zhu Qiyu waved his hand again and again: "Although the imperial brother has been captured by the Mongols, he is still there after all, how can I, as a brother, steal his throne?" What's more, there is still a prince in the court, even if he is forced to do so, he can stand first

The crown prince is the emperor. I...... It's hard for me to be in this position! ”

"King Yu, this rule is dead, but people are alive. Although the ancestors had rules that the throne should be inherited by the crown prince, it was only in ordinary times. Now things are very wrong, the prince is young, it is difficult to overcome the heavy responsibility, only King Yu you are young, you have enough qualifications and talent to sit on the throne, and I hope that His Royal Highness will focus on the overall situation! Seeing this, Yu Qian hurriedly persuaded him.

"Yes, King Yu, the matter is urgent, this matter is decided by the mourning family and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, even if it is mentioned in the history books of later generations, it will only be said that you know the general situation and accept the order in danger, and there will be no other words. I hope you don't have to excuse yourself again. Empress Dowager Sun also hurriedly tried her best to persuade her.

Subsequently, another cadre of officials persuaded him to gossip, anyway, it means the same thing, you King Yu don't have to worry about anything else, now in this Ming court, you are the most suitable person to sit on the throne. In order for me to avoid turmoil, you must be this emperor.

"But I ......" Zhu Qiyu still wanted to refuse, but he saw that the ministers suddenly took a step forward and knelt on the ground: "I hope that His Royal Highness will focus on the overall situation and become the emperor!" ”

Seeing that he was still hesitating, even the Queen Mother had already stood up and said, "King Yu, do you still want the mourning family to kneel down and beg you to take the throne?" ”

"Erchen didn't dare to ......" Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu was really panicked, and hurriedly waved his hand: "But after all, this matter is related to the prince himself, if I, who is an uncle, take the throne that should belong to him, how will I see him in the future, and my sister-in-law......"

"What's so embarrassing about this, the queen is from the mourning family, presumably her mother and son will also understand that you are only doing this out of helplessness, you are not robbing the crown prince's throne, but protecting them." Empress Dowager Sun hurriedly said.

"What the Queen Mother said is very true. If His Highness still feels a little uneasy, he can continue to obey him as the crown prince, so that after a hundred years, His Highness can still be the Son of Heaven, then he will no longer owe him anything. Uncle Yuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly began to say again: "The change of the throne is not only the succession of the father and the son, the brother and the brother, but also the uncle and nephew!" ”

Having said that, everyone can be said to have solved all of Zhu Qiyu's concerns, and in order to make him agree to be the emperor, they can be regarded as doing their best. This thing seems really ridiculous, and it is also a rare time in history that the queen mother's ministers asked to force people to sit on the throne of the emperor.

Although there are many people in history who seem to have been forcibly put on the throne by their courtiers, the most famous one is Zhao Kuangyin, who mutined in Chenqiao. But in fact, this is more of a play, it is Lao Zhao who has already had the heart to be the emperor, and it is irresistible to bully the orphans and widows of the Chai family, which makes it difficult for the people below to plan.

Like today, the person concerned really doesn't want to be the emperor, and it seems that there is only the aforementioned Song Qinzong Zhao Huan. At that time, he also refused several times knowing that after sitting on the throne of the emperor, he would encounter the dangerous situation of Jin soldiers attacking Bianjing. But in the end, he still couldn't twist his father's thigh, and then sat on the throne of the Son of Heaven in the Northern Song Dynasty crying.

And today, although the situation in the Ming Dynasty looks much better than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, for Zhu Qiyu, this feeling of compulsion is still extremely strong.

In other words, he really didn't expect that in this world, there are people who are forced to become prostitutes, and there are people who are forced to buy and sell, but this kind of forced people to be emperors is really rare. And this happened to me, but what should I do?

In the face of the Empress Dowager and the ministers' strong persuasion, Zhu Qiyu had to admit that he had no other choice. After a long silence, he finally accepted this fact: "Well, since the Queen Mother and all the adults have said so, then the king can only be reluctantly embarrassed. I also hope that when the time comes, all of you will be able to work together with this king to protect my Ming dynasty through this catastrophe. ”

"Your Highness is wise, and the ministers are obedient!" Seeing that he had finally responded to the matter, the officials were really greatly relieved, and fell to the ground again with joy.

"You are all exempt from courtesy......" Zhu Qiyu, who was the king of the domain, really couldn't stand everyone's heavy courtesy, so he hurriedly waved his hands indiscriminately and ordered everyone to get up and speak. And in the dazedness, there seemed to be a bit of excitement on his face. Although this throne looks really hot now, after all, this is the most honorable position in the world, and he will naturally be a little excited and excited to become the king of a country in such a way.

Seeing this, although the Empress Dowager Sun still had a smile of relief on her face, her heart was full of helplessness: "Emperor, I hope you can understand the distress of your mother." It's not that my mother refuses to keep the throne for you, but now Daming can't stand a little accident and storm, only your younger brother, he can continue to keep the ancestor's country. ”

At this time, Zhu Qiyu seemed to think of it again: "But there is one point, this king has to explain it to you in advance." ”

"Ministers listen to His Highness's teachings." Because he has not officially ascended the throne, the ministers' title to him has not changed, but in terms of attitude, he has really regarded him as an emperor.

"On this throne, this king is just sitting on behalf of the royal brother temporarily. One day, if the royal brother returns safely, I will return the throne to him. Zhu Qiyu said: "Also, the position of the prince remains the same." If the imperial brother really has something in the hands of the Tartars, this throne will eventually be returned to the hands of Jianshen, and I hope you can testify. ”

"Your Highness is really a brother and a brother, and the ministers admire it!" The ministers hurriedly praised again. It's just that many people don't think so much about this statement. In their opinion, Zhu Qiyu's words are completely a scene, and for thousands of years, there is really no one who has become an emperor who is willing to give up the throne again for no reason.

Even if what he said now was indeed sincere, as long as he was allowed to be the emperor for a while, and truly enjoyed the freedom of the power to control everything, I am afraid he would not have such thoughts again.

So, everyone had a different mind, and just quit from Cining Palace. A change of the throne that determines the future of the Ming Dynasty was given in the way of catching ducks on the shelves, and Zhu Qiyu was forced to become the successor of his imperial brother's position.

At the same time, Zhu Qizhen, who was thousands of miles away, in a small tent outside Datong City, shed tears very uneasily, because he had already faintly sensed what those people in the court were about to do.

He, the former lord of the world, is about to be abandoned by his own subjects!
