"Kneel, prostrate, weep, get up."

"Kneeling and Prostrating"

In the sound of bells and chimes, the city of Xi'an is a vegetarian, everywhere is drifting white cloth, and now in the palace in the center of the city, the crying has not stopped from early in the morning, groups of people wearing linen and filial piety, from the morning, to the present, under the command of the ceremonial officer, according to the process of worship. This is a memorial ceremony for the former Emperor Chongzhen, and it is also a way to announce to the world.

The leader is the less than fifteen-year-old prince Zhu Cihong, of course, now is not the prince, but the Hongguang Emperor, three days ago, in this diligent palace, many Shaanxi officials unanimously supported, Zhu Cihong inherited the Ming throne, the year name Hongguang.

Behind Emperor Hongguang is Shi Lei, at this time Shi Lei's identity is no longer a small county order, but the crown prince Taibao, Qingtianhou, cabinet college student and the governor of the world's rebellion against the capital, it can be said that in name, in addition to the emperor, he is the biggest, of course, the actual situation is like this, without Shi Lei's support, the little emperor Hongguang can't mobilize a person in the whole Shaanxi at all, but after all, it is a bit unjustifiable, and now, everything is not a problem.

When he first heard this appointment, even Shi Lei himself was taken aback, originally, he thought that with his identity, at most, he would be promoted to a few levels, and it would be good to be a general soldier or a political envoy, but he didn't expect that Queen Zhou would give him such a big gift, although there was some surprise, but for the current Shi Lei, this is exactly what is needed the most, not to mention anything else, in the whole Shaanxi, Shi Lei has a heavy army, if there is really another person with a higher official position than him, then the situation will be very serious, even if Shi Lei is willing, Will those under him be willing?

"Hey, it's finally over, in the past three days, I estimate that I will finish my life with my head, you say, just a kneeling, it is actually divided into several times, and even crying doesn't make people cry happily, don't you say it's looking for sin?" Shi Lei rubbed his somewhat numb knees while constantly complaining.

"Adults must not say that, you must know the major events of the country, only worship and Rong, and the memorial ceremony of the king of a country is the most important, how can adults complain because of some hard work, adults in front of us to say it's okay, if it is really listened to by some villains, it is not good, although adults are not afraid, but this is harmful to the reputation of adults, in addition, adults have done something wrong."

The person who spoke was called Mu Chengfeng, more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, he was a famous man in Shaanxi, he was upright, he had been a jinshi, but because he was not used to seeing the dirty things of officialdom, he was angry, he resigned angrily, studied and cultivated the fields at home, and originally thought that he would spend his life chatting, but he did not expect that the world was in chaos, the land of Shaanxi, first there were bandits, and then he was actually occupied by the Dashun army, fortunately, Shi Lei's sideways were born, regained Shaanxi, and drove away the Dashun army.

Although Mu Chengfeng has a strong personality, he is extremely loyal to the Ming court, and he was killed by Emperor Chongzhen, after the fall of Beijing, he immediately recommended himself and was willing to serve, because Mu Chengfeng was a famous man in Shaanxi, and was introduced to Shi Lei by Tong Chenfu, who was responsible for recruiting talents, and then after understanding him, Shi Lei immediately recommended him to Emperor Hongguang as the Inspectorate, the post of Zuodu Imperial History, and Mu Chengfeng also played the role of this position perfectly, in just a few days, he advised Shi Lei countless times, so that Shi Lei couldn't cry and laugh, But they had to comply.

"Oh, I don't know if I have done anything wrong, and I ask Master Mu to give me advice, and Shi will definitely comply." Hearing Mu Chengfeng's words, Shi Lei had to make a modest appearance.

"Lord Shi, since your lord is already an official of the imperial court, then you should call yourself your own official in terms of title, rather than me or someone's random name, in this case, not only will your adult lose your identity, but even the imperial court will lose face, please pay attention to it in the future." For Shi Lei, Mu Chengfeng is still very grateful, although he has not had much contact with Shi Lei, and Shi Lei is also very young, but Mu Chengfeng admires Shi Lei very much in terms of character and means of life, except for a little fault in him, everything else is fine, so, in Mu Chengfeng's mind, Shi Lei is the key to the revival of the Ming Dynasty, so as long as Shi Lei has a problem, Mu Chengfeng will point it out mercilessly.

As soon as Mu Chengfeng's words came out, except for Shi Lei, the rest of the people in the room couldn't help but nod their heads and said yes, they had known about this for a long time, but they never said it, and it was not a big problem, so no one said it, but I didn't expect it to be said by Mu Chengfeng today.

And Shi Lei was a little crying and laughing at this time, in terms of title, although Shi Lei has been in this world for many years, he still has a little habit of later generations in his thoughts, he doesn't want to be like other officials, no matter what he calls or does, he has to show superiority everywhere, but he didn't expect that in this way, he actually did something wrong, but in desperation, Shi Lei still agreed.

"My lord, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, and the memorial ceremony of the former emperor has ended, should we pass on this news to the Quartet, so that more people can know, otherwise, it may cause some unnecessary changes." Tong Chenfu said.

"Yes, it should indeed be so, especially in the Jiangnan region, if you don't report the news in time, so that it will be used by people with intentions, it will be difficult to do it in the future, besides, this can also let the people of the world know that the Ming Dynasty has not yet become extinct, so as to encourage the fighting spirit of the people of the world to fight against the Manchu Tartars." For Tong Chenfu's words, Shi Lei very much agrees, in history, why did the Southern Ming Dynasty perish so quickly, instead of being like the Southern Song Dynasty, relying on the Yangtze River, and still being able to survive.

The most important reason is that Chongzhen died, after the fall of Beijing, all kinds of forces in the south of the Yangtze River have for their own interests, Donglin Party, eunuchs, warlords, all forces, infighting, so that the last trace of vitality of the Ming Dynasty, exhausted, so that later, the main force of the real resistance to the Qing Dynasty actually became the generals of the Great Shun Army or the Great Western Army and the righteous army in various places.

Therefore, in order to avoid the recurrence of this situation in the current Ming Dynasty, supporting the accession of Emperor Hongguang to the throne is also a means of Shi Lei, at least on the surface, the Ming Dynasty can still form a unification, not to mention anything else, at least morally, he can occupy the commanding heights, even if all forces are disdainful of him in their hearts, but after all, Emperor Hongguang is the son of Emperor Chongzhen, no one will risk the world's greatness, to deny his existence, with morality, he can slowly absorb those talents loyal to the Ming Dynasty, integrate all forces, The last move drove out the Tartar captives and restored China

Nanjing City, as the ancient capital, Nanjing City is also considered to have thousands of years of history, and to the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing City once again became the center of the world, although in the Yongle Emperor period, the capital was moved from Nanjing to Beijing again, but as the first capital of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing City also continued to play its role.

Especially in times of national crisis, Nanjing, as the accompanying capital, has become the center of the world's attention, and at this time, a group of high-ranking officials and officials are nervously discussing major events.

Since getting the news that the city of Beijing was breached by Li Zicheng and that Emperor Chongzhen had hanged himself, the city of Nanjing fell into chaos, and all the big men and forces of all parties used various means for their own interests in an attempt to intercept the greatest benefits.

Among them, the Donglin Party represented by Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, and Lu Daqi attempted to call on the world's talents to gather together, send troops to the north, subdue the rivers and mountains, and avenge Emperor Chongzhen, while the eunuch party led by Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng planned to defend the river before acting as Ming, and responded to all changes with the same, while the other faction was the noble faction headed by Xu Yi, the Duke of Wei, who was the landlord of Nanjing City, but unfortunately, because they did not have military power in their hands, therefore, they just did not express their position.

"Master Shi, the situation is not clear now, what is the situation in the north, no one knows, some people say that after the thief army broke the city of Beijing, it has occupied the north, and is trying to send troops to the south, and there is also news that the Manchu Qing Dynasty outside the pass has entered the customs and defeated the Li thief, and now the city of Beijing has been occupied by the Tartars, now this situation, you tell me how we can send troops to the north, if there is a problem, which leads to the defeat of the army, this is not completely ruined my Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji?"

It was Ruan Dacheng who spoke, speaking of Ruan Dacheng, this is also a famous figure in the late Ming Dynasty, of course, the talent is good, but unfortunately the reputation is not very good, Ruan Dacheng was born in Jinshi, first attached to the Donglin Party, but unfortunately in the Wei Zhongxian period, the nine thousand years old covered the sky with one hand, Ruan Dacheng was envious, and he took refuge under the command of the nine thousand years old, but unfortunately he did not catch up with the good time, and soon the nine thousand years old was cleaned up by Emperor Chongzhen, and Ruan Dacheng was also demoted to Nanjing, and became a common man who ate and waited for death.

Originally, Ruan Dacheng thought that this was the end of his life, but he didn't expect that Li Zicheng, such a post pawn, would actually break the city of Beijing very unexpectedly and force Emperor Chongzhen to death.

Hearing Ruan Dacheng's words, Shi Kefa frowned on his face, for Ruan Dacheng, Shi Kefa was very disgusted in his heart, the reason why his teacher, Zuo Guangdou was killed by Wei Zhongxian, one of them was the role of this Ruan Dacheng, but unfortunately, although he hated him in his heart, Shi Kefa also knew that he was now a celebrity around Ma Shiying, if he rashly dealt with him, then the relationship between him and Ma Shiying would be broken, which would delay the Northern Expedition, and that was definitely not what he wanted to see.
