Early the next morning.

Chengtianmen.

The rising sun has just climbed the tower, and the golden sunlight is shining all over the royal street.

A figure appeared on the top floor of the castle tower.

All the doors and windows behind him opened, and the sunlight from the other side of the tower made him feel as if he was standing in a golden light.

And on the royal street in front of him, at this time, it was crowded with people, and the people of Nandu, who knew that the empress was due to give birth early from last night, began to gather here in the middle of the night. Even the factories and shops were closed, and millions of citizens gathered on this royal street and the specially opened city walls on both sides, waiting for the birth of the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Even on the many newly built buildings outside the city walls, there are countless eyes looking at them......

Including in the sky.

Hot air balloons have been very common in Daming, not only business advertisements, but even the rich themselves have bought their own pretends, the sky of the southern capital is like London during the First World War, and there are various colored balloons floating every day.

And after a long night of waiting, it's time to reveal the results.

Everyone stared at the figure of the Protector.

Millions of people were silent.

There are even those with telescopes to focus.

Then, in the morning sun behind him, the Protector suddenly raised his hands, and in his hands was a swaddling ......

"It's raw!"

The Lord Protector shouted.

"Son!"

Then he shouted.

There was a tsunami of cheers on the streets.

Then Yang Qing handed over his son to the palace maid on the side as quickly as possible, ending this official appearance that was short to a second, saying that he secretly took it out while the empress didn't know. In fact, the empress did not agree to him to take it out, in case the empress, who was sleeping at the moment, suddenly woke up, he didn't know how much anger he would have to face when he went back!

Seeing that the palace maids were like those scientists wearing radiation protection suits and holding weapons-grade uranium, holding his son and leaving cautiously, and then walking down the city tower, Yang Qing turned his gaze back to the front of Chengtian Gate......

"What is the prince's name?"

Wang Fuzhi, who was in front of the crowd, raised his head and asked.

"Yang Zhu!"

Yang Qing said.

"Huh?!"

There was a bunch of stunned people below.

Obviously, the random names of his husband and wife are still very speechless, and they are princes, so why can't they come up with a name that sounds very knowledgeable, you just put the surnames of the two together, and it is too irresponsible. Besides, how are you going to continue to name it in the future? The eldest son Yang Zhu, is it possible that Yang Lan Yang Green Yang Xiaohei will be in the future? Although this moment was a bit inappropriate, the crowd below was still silently complaining.

But that's fine, anyway, in the future, I want to inherit the throne of the Zhu family, as a transition from the Zhu family emperor to the Yang family emperor......

Yang Zhu is Yang Zhu!

Anyway, he and his wife named their son, and others had no right to interfere.

"Her Majesty's holy decree, with the birth of the prince to amnesty the world!"

Immediately after that, Yang Qing above their heads shouted.

Then the cheers rang out again.

In fact, Yang Qing didn't agree with this, but Her Majesty the Empress insisted, mainly because she could pardon her brother in this way, and Zhu Cihong's hanging was changed to exile after her amnesty, but now he is still confined in a small courtyard. Through this amnesty, you can restore your free body, but you are still a commoner, but after a few years Hawaii is cleaned up, you can re-crown a vassal king, and then let him go to Hawaii to retire. And then I have to go to the northern capital to welcome Queen Zhou's Zigong back to the southern capital, and be buried with Chongzhen, this must be the eldest son, and it is impossible to continue to let Zhu Cihong as an exile.

But the real amnesty is only lip service.

In fact, the scope of the imperial amnesty will be specified in the subsequent official decrees, which criminals can be pardoned and which criminals cannot, and this is subject to additional explanations. At this moment, Yang Qing said that the amnesty is the same as the interpretation of this event of the promotion.

Those Yang Qing didn't want to get back, they would definitely have to stay in the penal colony.

For example, those great Confucians.

In fact, the judgments of the great Confucians also carried a note that they would not return in case of pardon, which meant that they were not within the scope of pardon in the first place.

In this way, Huang Zongxi and others still have to be in Hualien.

They had already been thrown over, and the Ming army had set up an anchorage there, where occasional warships passed to replenish fresh water, and whaling ships that used to hunt whales seasonally. Sperm whales can be seen even in modern times, and although there are few of them, it is still a good place for inshore whaling operators. The great Confucians took the slaves and maids they bought, cultivated the land there, and even found the golden sand in a stream, and fished on the beach in their spare time, discussed Confucian thoughts, and saw the demeanor of the whalers fighting the giant beasts. The only regret is that there will be occasional wild man attacks, it is said that Huang Zongxi also killed a few wild people with his own hands, it is said that he is a master of internal boxing, and the internal force is deep!

So this question is not worth mentioning.

In that case......

Then they should continue to idyll!

Such an environment is more conducive to them to write excellent works, after all, their hometown is already full of worldly hustle and bustle, what is better than this kind of place is quiet and suitable for thinking?

Isn't this how many excellent works are born?

It is said that Zhu Zhiyu is already writing now.

After he was exiled to Oki Island, he was very respected by the Wakuni people on the other side, and not only the daimyo of the Matsue and other feudal clans went to study, but even the Tokugawa family sent people to receive the influence of this great Confucian. At present, he is compiling an ideological monograph to make a profound analysis of the current situation of the Japanese state, and in short, his life is much more fulfilling now than when he participated in the political struggle in the past.

It can be seen that exile is the necessary condition for the great Confucians to truly radiate light.

Let them continue to shine!

However, the Nanjing nobles who were exiled to Hainan Island to mine before can come back at this time, they have been digging for many years, and now they have experienced the vicissitudes of life, and many of them have died in the hot climate of Hainan Island. Of course, it is still an exaggeration to say that they are mining, and it is impossible for the women they left in Nandu to really let them mine, it is nothing more than to pay some silver and buy some slaves to replace them. To be precise, they have lived on Hainan Island for many years, and even some of them are sophisticated and vigorous, and they have bred a large number of offspring there.

That's when it's time to get them back.

and when Chongzhen was there, those who were exiled after raiding their homes, and those smugglers caught by Yang Qing fishing and law enforcement, these can also come back.

In short, the amnesty is just talking.

It is impossible to release all criminals, and the real pardon must be selective.

The Emperor's Amnesty is like this.

Of course, the common people don't care about this, they just cheer purely for the sake of cheering, in the eyes of the common people, this kind of amnesty is inevitable, the last time the empress ascended the throne without an amnesty, it was already very unexpected, and now the birth of the prince is not amnesty, it is not normal.

"Lord Protector, does Your Majesty intend to make the emperor's eldest son the crown prince?"

Wang Fuzhi asked.

The cheering crowd immediately began to calm down.

That's the main thing.

That's the main purpose of people waiting all night.

Although everyone understands that the Zhu family's country has long been surnamed Yang, but after all, this final procedure has not been completed, this is a hidden danger after all, it can be said that the prince who has just been brought out is the most important step for the real stability of the Ming Dynasty. Even everyone understands that he must be the prince, otherwise how can he be called Yang Zhu! But this must be determined in a legal sense to be effective, and many people's hearts have been hanging as soon as he is not the crown prince.

"Your Majesty does have this intention, but the establishment of the prince requires a vote from the Four People's Assembly, and His Majesty only has the right to propose but not the right to decide, so it needs to be voted on at the Four People's Assembly Hall later."

Yang Qing said.

"The permanent representatives of the Four People's Congress are here, so why do they need to wait a while? Today, millions of people gathered here to testify, and we officially voted in front of the people in front of this Chengtian Gate, and we don't have to go to the Great Hall of the Four Peoples! Delegates, Her Majesty nominated the emperor's eldest son, Yang Zhu, as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, so do you agree to make the emperor's eldest son, Yang Zhu, the crown prince? Raise your hand if you agree! ”

Wang Fuzhi turned his head and asked.

Then he was the first to raise his hand.

The permanent representatives of the Four People's Congress, who were basically at the front, raised their hands one after another.

They waited here from midnight in order to quickly establish the crown prince, and if the empress gave birth to a princess, that could only wait first, but if a son was born, he must be made a prince immediately. In the final analysis, the Four Peoples Conference is also afraid of long nights and dreams, and no one dares to guarantee what accidents will occur in the future, and only by quickly establishing a prince and clearly transitioning the Zhu family to the Yang family is the best way to solve all hidden dangers. Even if the crown prince has just been born, as long as his surname is Yang, as long as he becomes the crown prince, then the future Ming Emperor will be the descendant of Yang Qing, and those forces loyal to Yang Qing will be completely relieved. There is also Yang Qing's suppression, and those forces that are not loyal to Yang Qing will be completely dead, otherwise they will always be delusional, and then everyone will accept the reality, then the instability factors within the Ming Dynasty will disappear completely.

And this is also the most beneficial to the Four People's Congress.

In this way, they also announced to the world the power of the Four People's Assembly to decide on the throne, which was approved by the Four People's Assembly, to be precise, the crown prince established by the Four People's Assembly. To put it bluntly, this is a tacit play between them and Yang Qing, the Four People's Conference settled his son's succession to the throne for Yang Qing, and Yang Qing fulfilled the empress's original promise in this way.

It also truly clarified the supreme decision-making power of the Four People's Assembly.

Both sides take what they need.

"Protector of the country, unanimously passed by the Four Peoples Assembly!"

Wang Fuzhi raised his head and looked at Yang Qing and said.

Yang Qing smiled and nodded to him.

Then he looked at the countless looking eyes below......

"Then I hereby officially announce that nominated by Her Majesty the Empress and voted by the Four People's Assembly, the eldest son of the Emperor, Yang Zhu, will be appointed as the crown prince and inherit the throne of the Ming Dynasty after a hundred years of His Majesty!"

He then shouted.

Cheers immediately resounded through the city.
