After the persuasion of more than a dozen officials was published in Di Bao and Daming Bao, it really aroused strong repercussions and heated discussions inside and outside the capital.

People of different classes and purposes can see different messages from it, which naturally leads to different actions.

Naturally, the people in the market were all in support, and some even shouted that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent should have become the emperor a long time ago.

After all, for the people, Jiang Chuan's contribution to today's stable life is the greatest.

If it weren't for Jiang Chuan, many of them would have become a pile of bones.

But for the officials of the imperial court and those lords, they saw the signal released by the imperial court and even the regent Jiang Chuan.

According to the historical practice, if a courtier wrote to persuade him, the superior would issue an edict to oppose it, showing his heart. It will be difficult to do it again and again.

And this time, His Royal Highness the regent did not issue an order to oppose it, but chose to publish it in the Di Bao and the Daming Daily of Guangfa Tianxia, so the meaning of this is obvious.

And the officials who wrote the book have not been punished in any way.

The old fritters in the officialdom sniffed out a lot of things from this, and the most obvious one is obviously that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is happy to see this happen, but this movement is not big enough.

The officials who thought they had figured out what Jiang Chuan meant began to stay up late to write the recitals, but three days after the newspapers were published, the Yamen of the General Administration Department received hundreds of persuasion forms.

Jiang Chuan was still noncommittal, and still ordered the matter to be published in the newspaper and published all over the world.

Public opinion is getting hotter and hotter, and the government and the opposition are discussing this matter more enthusiastically. There were even scholars in some places who gave speeches on the spot, calling on the people to be willing to write a letter to the people and the like to ask His Highness to ascend the throne and become emperor.

This is more radical, and those who are more peaceful have also talked about it on various occasions, analyzing how it is in line with the will of heaven and the will of the people to succeed the Ji family in order to succeed His Royal Highness the Regent.

The officials are secretly discussing how to shine in this wave of persuasion and speculate, so as to get a little bit of the light of the dragon.

Those lords who received the title because of their ancestors' contributions to the Ming Dynasty are also beginning to think about catching up with this trend.

In the elite class, the most worried and worried, of course, are those Ji clans. As a clan, although they have no real power, they can still enjoy wealth and prosperity. But once the dynasty changes and Jiang Chuan ascends the throne as emperor, their rich career is bound to not continue.

From this point of view, they should be the part that is most worried and has the most reason to oppose Jiang Chuan's claim to be emperor.

It's a pity that they have already said that Jinyiwei is the key monitoring object, not to mention that they want to rebel, but with a little wind and grass, Jinyiwei can know in minutes.

Now Jiang Chuan covers the sky with one hand, the government and the opposition return to their hearts, and their prestige is extremely grand, even if they want to rebel, they can't find anyone to follow them, so in the end, they hesitated for a long time and followed the above table one by one, and expressed their willingness to be a small people and create a happy life with their hands.

In this kind of persuasion boom in full swing, the most depressed, the most helpless, and the most painful person is the Ming Emperor Ji Siyuan, who was imprisoned in the deep palace.

Although Jiang Chuan restricted his freedom, he would let people send the new newspaper and Daming newspaper to the palace every time, one was not to let His Majesty the emperor hold back his troubles, and the other was to let him know the movements of the outside world, so that he could weigh himself.

Therefore, Li Zicheng perished, Zheng Zhilong surrendered, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, and Tokugawa Xiuzhong was defeated and captured and was executed by Ling Chi in the capital, these news Ji Siyuan is very clear.

From the beginning of being imprisoned by Jiang Chuan, he was full of anger at the beginning, scolding Jiang Chuan every day for being a white-eyed wolf, a chaotic minister and a thief, and he was a wolf who led the wolf into the room. Later, I was tired of scolding, and after gradually calming down, I began to feel sorry for myself, feeling that I was too stupid, and I should have done what I should have done in the first place.

Later, he began to wonder if there would be any loyal ministers and righteous men who would raise troops and come to crusade against Jiang Chuan, a rebellious minister and thief.

But as time passed, his hopes became more and more dimmed and he began to despair. The newspapers are all full of news of Jiangchuan's victories, even if there are occasionally one or two who raise troops, they are still the descendants of the Ji family who failed to compete for status back then, and even if they succeed, they will kill themselves first.

He is becoming more and more desperate, and he has basically lost hope of returning to power.

Although he lacks political talent, he also knows very well that in this situation, no one can stop Jiang Chuan from becoming emperor.

So after this persuasion came up, he was not surprised, but sneered, looking at the familiar names on the newspaper, many of them were still the team he had come to envelop himself when he was the prince, and now he was brazen and righteous to tout the chaotic minister and thief who imprisoned him, which made him even more chilled.

Wei Zhongxian, who had been by his side and served him, had always been loyal, persuading the emperor from time to time to look away.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

The autumn breeze is rising, and the capital is already a little cool. Wei Zhongxian lightly put on a big coat for the emperor sitting in a stone pavilion in the imperial garden, and stood beside him with his hands down and said cautiously.

After more than a year of solitary confinement, the young emperor's temples began to turn a little gray, and Wei Zhongxian's back also looked a little more curved.

"Wei Banban, I, the emperor, have become prisoners, what else do you dare not say. Say it, just say it. You are the only one in the world who is loyal to me now. I don't blame you for anything you say. ”

Emperor Ji Siyuan sighed, looked at the broken lotus leaves that had begun to wither in the lake below the pavilion, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has the audacity to speak out." Wei Zhongxian bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, now that the river is in full swing, does Your Majesty think that there is anyone who can stop him from usurping the throne?" ”

"Wei Banban, don't play dumb riddles with me. Something to say directly, if I hadn't been able to accommodate people at this time, I would have really become a veritable faint king. The emperor sighed and looked back at Wei Zhongxian, who was hunched on his back.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the old slave. Since no one can stop Jiang Chuan's usurpation, the old slave asks His Majesty to think about his own life. ”

Wei Zhongxian's words made Emperor Ji Siyuan stunned, and his face froze suddenly.

He was just thinking that Jiang Chuan's ascension to the throne and becoming emperor was almost a foregone conclusion, and no one could stop him.

But I didn't think about it, once Jiang Chuan became the emperor, what should happen to him, the emperor of the previous dynasty?

If it were him, I am afraid that there would be only one way to go.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian's words suddenly lifted his heart.
