The armed civilians who arrested the emperor boarded a boat at Shimonoseki and sailed up the Yangtze River......

And then there are people who keep joining along the way.

The emperor's treason, the arrest of the emperor, and the trial of the emperor in the Great Hall of the Four Peoples also spread rapidly on both sides of the Yangtze River, and the newspapers on either side also threw away everything else and turned to the debate on the matter......

The old-fashioned school thinks it's ridiculous.

How can any civilians arrest the emperor, and judge the emperor, they are simply chaotic ministers and thieves, they simply want the country to be a general, that is the emperor, that is the king, this monarch and ministers are not righteous, and this program is often wanted. The rotten Confucians are like mourning and examining, crying in front of the Confucian Temple in various places, and there are even those who run to the street with the tablet of Confucius on their heads to accuse the traitorous ministers of bringing disaster to the country, just like those rotten Confucians who faced cutting braids in the late Qing Dynasty. For them, it was like a demonic atmosphere descending with darkness, and the system of science on which they lived collapsed, and the program of the monarch and his ministers was often thrown into the surging river beneath their feet, along with the armed civilians who arrested the emperor.

They denounced it as a mob!

The country will not be a country!

It's simply a repetition of the change in the northern capital!

is even more frustrating than that, and actually wants to put the emperor on trial publicly, this is a great rebellion!

Even those talents in Nanjing, after the arrest of the emperor set out, immediately after the departure of the escort team, also rushed to Huoqiu, ready to fight to the end to defend the emperor and these mobs.

But they kept people running away on the road.

After all, they were not welcomed but scolded along the way, and they couldn't even buy food, and smart people knew that the emperor had no hope at all this time, so he took this opportunity to hurry home. It is said that in the past two years, they have spent all the money for the emperor and delayed the new imperial examination, which is stupid enough, and they can't continue to be stupid, and if they continue to be stupid, they won't get anything. It is said that the delay of this new imperial examination has made many people regret it, watching those new imperial examination lifters begin to gather in Nanjing to prepare for the examination after the spring, those talents are about to regret their intestines.

If you continue to be stupid like this, you can only watch others pass the Jinshi examination and become an official and play the board.

This kind of thing must not be delayed.

The final result is that the last remaining talents in Nanjing also began to disperse, just to save face and say that they were going to save the emperor, I have to say that they tossed for more than two years, and the only thing they brought to the people of Nanjing was entertainment. From the initial cyan torrent, to the later disgust, and then to the laughing stock today, they not only enriched the city's commerce with their own money bags, but also enriched the city's entertainment.

And then they got nothing.

In the end, I had to leave empty-handed and in a panic......

And the radicals shouted for the execution of the emperor.

They can't wait.

Whether they were out of righteous indignation, or simply vented by the imperial power suppressed for thousands of years, in short, they wanted to kill Zhu Cihong, that is, to escort the emperor to the execution ground like the British executed their king, and then cut off the emperor's head in public.

Some people even shouted the slogan of Chu Gong as emperor.

Obviously, they can't wait, in their opinion, they have all come to this point, and the Duke of Chu will definitely not refuse again, after all, after the execution of the emperor, it is impossible for him to set up the emperor's younger brother, so the people of the Ming Dynasty will not do it. Some newspapers have carefully analyzed this, and the younger brother who continued to set up the emperor was still punished by Li Zicheng, and this bastard must have been ready to sell another one if he sent the emperor back. He still has three there, even if he can't sell fifteen million, it's always okay to sell a few million, the people of the Ming Dynasty have already paid fifteen million for the Zhu family, but in exchange for such a result, they will definitely not pay a penny for them this time.

Even the people of the Ming Dynasty should no longer want the emperor of the Zhu family!

Why the Emperor of the Zhu Family?

Could it be that the Emperor of the Zhu family brought a happy life to the common people? At least they have never had it in their memory, even in the Wanli period, the same harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the local tyrants and inferior gentry, the same common people are hungry and cold, and the absence of rogues does not mean that there will be plenty of food and clothing in the Wanli time! As for the two dynasties of Tianqi Chongzhen, needless to say, even after Chongzhen crossed to the south, the Ming Dynasty was also stormy, and it was the Duke of Chu who created the current prosperous era.

It was he who brought the current strength to Daming!

The Duke of Chu is called the emperor!

Anyway, Da Ming's today is all dependent on Chu Gong.

Duke Chu can be said to recreate the Ming Dynasty, and with this kind of credit, he should also be the emperor!

Then accompanied by the cries of the corrupt Confucian temples in various places, there were petitions from all over the country to be called the emperor of Chu, or it can also be said to persuade to advance, not only ordinary people, but even the army began to join......

"Ridiculous, Yang is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, how can he do such a non-subordinate thing!"

Yang Qingyi said rhetorically.

"Duke Chu, the emperor of the Zhu family is no longer worthy of inheriting the Ming dynasty, the reason why the Ming dynasty can have today depends on the Duke of Chu, who else is qualified to inherit the country besides the Duke of Chu?"

Said the representative of the soldiers in front of him.

The other representatives of the soldiers chimed in.

This is the 1st and 2nd Guards Corps, the two armies that are stationed around Nanjing, have been lined up in flintlock muskets, and each of the two armies has one infantry brigade to complete, and the other three infantry brigades will all be completed next spring. Because of the increase in horses, the artillery has also been changed to two grades: nine catties and four and a half catties, and nine catties of mountain howitzers have been added, but the number of mortars has decreased, after all, the accuracy of this thing is too poor, and the flowering shells can already be used in mountain howitzers.

These two elite guards are all composed of Yang Qing's fanatical followers, so it's strange not to persuade them at this time!

But it is not easy for the generals to come forward.

After all, they didn't know Yang Qing's attitude.

In case Yang Qing gets angry and gives them some punishment, it will not be good, so simply let the soldiers represent, they represent the soldiers at the most basic level, even if the persuasion fails, it will be fine, Yang Qing is still very lenient to the soldiers, if it is just persuasion, even if you don't agree, you won't be punished, if these people's persuasion is tentative, then the next thing is the general.

"Your Majesty has not yet been convicted!"

Yang Qing said.

"Your Majesty's crime is conclusive, the human and material evidence is complete, and all that remains is the trial procedure!"

The soldier's representative said.

"Even if Your Majesty is guilty of deposing, it will not be Yang's turn, and Your Majesty is not the only one who has the children of the first emperor, the three armies of the guards originated from the Beijing camp, and the Beijing camp was established by the first emperor, how can you ignore the spirit of the first emperor in the sky and abandon the children of the first emperor and push others!"

Yang Qingyi said rhetorically.

"The three sons of the first emperor are all in Chang'an, does the Duke of Chu think that Li Zicheng will not sell it again? In order to meet the Ming Dynasty, the financial resources were exhausted, and the court was burdened with debts for decades, which were borne by the people, and if there was really another time, the people would not pay a single yuan for the Zhu family. If other clans are established, then the first emperor will change hands like the country, since the first emperor changed hands, then what is the difference with the emperor of Chu? Since the Duke of Chu blamed us for the first emperor, then we only protect the rivers and mountains of the first emperor, and the Duke of Chu chose the horse for the first emperor, and he was also the first emperor's half son, why not let the first emperor inherit the country left by the Duke of Chu? ”

The soldier's representative said.

"No, this country can only be inherited by the first emperor, Yang and the first emperor have no blood relatives, how can they inherit the country, this matter will be mentioned again, this time I am also worried about state affairs, if there is a next military law ruthless!"

Yang Qing said.

"Since Duke Chu said so, then the prison state will succeed to the throne!"

Another representative said suddenly.

Several other soldier representatives looked at him with some doubts, but then showed joy, it was obvious that this solution was perfect, there was no difference between the succession of the prison country and Yang Qing's claim to the emperor, and the left and right were the affairs of the two of them. In fact, both the military and the people have great respect for the prison country, after all, those schools, hospitals, orphanages and so on were all built by her and the Queen Mother. And a young and beautiful woman, especially a disabled woman, is also more likely to gain favor, and those who bow to the princess are basically sincere.

And it was she who was in charge of the country these years, and then Yang Qing was actually in charge, and this combination created the current strength of the Ming Dynasty.

When she becomes emperor, everything will be as usual.

She will definitely not fight for power with Yang Qing, and the fight is also in bed, everyone still understands the character of the princess, so all of Yang Qing's policies will continue, and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is the same as before, and whether it is the army or the people, what they want is actually the same as before. That's good, at least for now, they haven't thought about anything else, they just came out of the previous troubled times, and they are happy with everything so far. As for the fact that her son will succeed to the throne in the future, no one will pass on the throne to someone else without passing on his son, what about Wu Zetian, knowing that his son will deny himself when he succeeds to the throne, the result is the same, and he still lets his son be the prince.

There is no doubt about this.

Then the throne automatically fell into the hands of the descendants of the Duke of Chu.

Then the descendants of those old ministers who followed the Duke of Chu can be guaranteed to be rich, which can be said to be very happy, and all classes are satisfied, regardless of the upper and lower classes, all can guarantee benefits. And it can't be regarded as the usurpation of the Duke of Chu, this country is still from the Zhu family, and the emperor is still surnamed Zhu, so the interests of the old ministers of the court can also be guaranteed......

Including the clan's.

But there is still one problem that needs to be faced, and that is......

She's a woman!

Could it be that Daming wants to produce an empress?

In other words, this is different from the prison country, there is nothing for women to supervise the country, the queen mother is also a woman, and there is no problem with the heroine of the princess prison country, she is just taking care of her brother's house, even if it is nothing in the traditional moral concept.

But the Empress is different!

The only emperor in the past dynasties can be one Wu Zetian!

Even if Liu E sacrifices to the sky, she is still the queen mother.

"Succession to the throne? She is indeed the queen of the first emperor, but this matter is not up to me Yang Qing, neither you nor I have the right to decide who will succeed to the throne, only all the people in the world have this qualification, and it must be approved by the Four People's Congress. But I must reiterate again, I, Yang Qing, am a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and I will never get involved in the rivers and mountains left by the first emperor, which must be inherited by people who have the blood of the first emperor in their bodies. ”

Yang Qing said categorically.
