In the spring of March of the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The breeze blew a pool of spring water, and the gusts of east wind dispersed the ice for thousands of miles, in exchange for the verdant green of the earth.

"The north and south gallop to report the national situation, and the river lace grass smiles for life. Three hundred and sixty days a year, most of them go on horseback. Ye Yingwu leaned back on the leisurely chair built by the court craftsmen, and while swaying lazily, he opened his mouth and chanted softly.

If this is not the forbidden depths of Daming Palace, but somewhere on the street, I am afraid that this lazy idler will not know how many people will be accused of poking his backbone.

In winter, a great war that spanned thousands of miles and flowed rivers of blood finally came to an end in the contraction of Mongolia and the exhaustion of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Ming Dynasty have changed from the previous admiration to the blind worship and even superstition of the Ming Dynasty.

The storyteller is not tired, and the people listening below listen to it and pat the table again and again, and throw broken silver, copper plates and even large silver bills up desperately. All men always have three points of blood, hearing such a bloody story of thousands of armies, how can they not secretly applaud, when looking at Nanjing and the palace, everyone's eyes are full of pride.

Only this Ming King can take our broken Huaxia step by step to today!

Only this Ming King!

It is precisely because of the triumph of the Ming army and the encouragement of the imperial court for the people to return to their hometowns in the Central Plains and open up the South Seas that the entire Ming Dynasty is now in full swing and full of enthusiasm. Even if we are not for the red dragon flag flying overhead, but only for the future of our wives and children in our own family, we must sweat more and make more money.

Even the two lepers and idle hooligans who ate and drank on the streets under the gloomy sky in the pre-Song Dynasty spontaneously went out to find work, whether it was a small worker in the shipyard or a supervisor in the straight road, although they were tired, they could also support their own work with all their strength.

As for the old gentlemen of the private school who were leisurely basking in the sun on the street, they also responded to the call of the imperial court and walked into the county schools and government schools that sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

In other words, if you want to find an idler in Daming now, I am afraid that there is only His Royal Highness King Ming who is lying here. However, apparently, His Royal Highness King Ming did not realize that he was estimated to be the laziest person in the entire Ming Dynasty, so he lay in the shade of the tree leisurely, sometimes reciting poems, and sometimes squinting at the warm sun.

"The new treasure ship of Liujiagang Shipyard is about to be launched, and the Ministry of Industry asks His Royal Highness to cut the ribbon, will you go?" Yang Xu angrily threw a piece of music into Ye Yingwu's arms, and then picked up the next one, "And this, the latest battle report of the Mongolian Tatar civil strife, I like to read it or not." ”

Ye Yingwu didn't know when he had thrown several pieces of music on his body, and Zhao Yunshu, who was sitting on the side gently adjusting the new tea before the rain, said softly: "Sister Su Niang, my husband rarely rests for two days, so don't disturb him." Let the ministers of the DPRK and China make a decision. The last time my husband went north, the ministers of the court and the central government were not scared of illness, and they regretted it. Now that he has eaten a trench and grown wise, if he wants to go out, he has to agree to the ministers of the DPRK and China. ”

Standing in the shade of the tree and holding a pen to write down the poem Ye Yingwu had just read in Juanxiu's font, Wang Qinghui looked at a pile of manuscript paper full of poems with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Sister Shu'er, you really don't have to worry about this, with our husband's temperament, if he really wants to go out and dare to climb over the wall from here, who can stop him at that time!" ”

"You say something bad, can you change places." Ye Yingwu raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes, "Su Niang, let them mess with the Mongolian Tatar civil strife, a year or two can't be tossed, and the military department and Jinyiwei don't have to make a fuss every day, they don't bother to worry about it, you see, the dispatch of thousands of cavalry is clearly written, what do you want to do, it means that the scouts of the military department and the spies of Jinyiwei are more capable than one another?" There are also these few, the transfer of officials from the small state government, to say a certain thing, how can Wen Songrui and these guys become more and more unable to let go now! ”

Su Niang suddenly burst out laughing, and her husband shirked the matter in a few words. Wen Tianxiang and they also pushed these trivial things up, naturally not because they are not growing up anymore, but they want to tell His Royal Highness King Ming that there are more big and small things in the world that you need to worry about, please uncle, but don't rush forward with thousands of eight hundred people!

Every time Ye Yingwu played, Wen Tianxiang and the others were worried that their heart attack would be ten years early.

Ye Yingwu rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You don't need them to warn you like this, within a month, you have to set off for the north." ”

"Why are you going north again?" Zhao Yunshu looked at Ye Yingwu with some surprise, it had been less than a month since his husband came back from the north, and he was in such a hurry to go north, it was not clear at all. You must know that although the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is recovering, it has no energy to fight with the Mongolian Tatars anymore, and even the ability to conquer cities has been consumed.

Huo Ran sat up, Ye Yingwu glanced at Zhao Yunshu, and said lightly: "Nanjing, Nanjing, is still too far from the north. What's more, the place where the six dynasties are powdered, the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River are soft, and they cannot be the capital of a country forever, so in the future, the forbidden place of the Daming Palace should be in the north and in the Central Plains. I don't want to watch the bloody battles of the Ming army generals who have been tempered for thousands of years, and finally be wiped out by this pink wall and tile. ”

After a pause, Ye Yingwu immediately chuckled: "What's more, since a certain person claimed that he would not remove the Tartars and recover the homeland of the Central Plains for a day, he would not be the emperor for a day, and the promise he made at the beginning has now been fulfilled, and it is time to change from His Royal Highness King Ming to His Majesty." This day, Song Rui and they are afraid that they have been looking forward to it for a long time. Since the country of the Ming Dynasty is claimed to be inherited from the former Song Dynasty, it is natural to symbolically worship the ancestral temple and ancestral mausoleum of the former Song Dynasty to appease the hearts of the old and young of the former dynasty. ”

Holding Ye Yingwu's hand, Zhao Yunshu's voice trembled a little: "Take me there." ”

Ye Yingwu had long expected that the girl would have such a request, so he just nodded and turned to look at Su Niang: "By the way, Su Niang, what did you just say, the treasure ship was launched?" ”

Yang Xu snorted, but nodded helplessly.

"It's going to take a while." Ye Yingwu exhaled lightly, "Just recently, tell the Ministry of Etiquette to prepare the etiquette, everything else is a trivial matter, but this matter cannot be delayed." ”

At this moment, Lu Wanyan and Qiqin came over one after the other, and Lu Wanyan was still holding the infant child in the crook of her arm.

"Hanhan, quick, let Daddy hug you." Ye Yingwu rushed over with an arrow, but obviously he was still a step slower, and Su Niang and Zhao Yunshu had already taken a step ahead, making Lu Wanyan's water impassable.

Ye Yingwu couldn't help but secretly speak, since the birth of the family, this group of women's love for children has reached the point of madness, which also makes Ye Yingwu not only able to hug left and right every day, but even be able to sleep together. This also led to the fact that His Royal Highness King Ming always had the illusion that his body was hollowed out these days, and he always rubbed his waist subconsciously.

Qiqin slowly walked to Ye Yingwu's side, smiling and looking at the lively scene. And Ye Yingwu bowed down to Qiqin's slightly bulging lower abdomen and listened for a moment, and said with a smile: "That so-and-so can't touch it, then so-and-so will come and listen to this." ”

Qiqin suddenly said coquettishly: "Husband, it's only been a few months, how can you hear the movement so quickly." ”

Qiqin also began to react two or three weeks ago, thinking that it should be conceived before Ye Yingwu set out on the expedition, and the time is just right, this is also the second bloodline of the Ye family, but at that time, Ye Yingwu had not returned from the north, and the entire Ming Dynasty was still shrouded in rolling war clouds, plus Qiqin was originally a pure and dislike of noisy temperament, so she didn't celebrate much, but Ye Mengding and the Chen couple were still excited for several days.

The probe glanced at Qiqin's shy cheeks, Ye Yingwu nodded thoughtfully, and then said seriously: "Yes, then so-and-so should go in and see that." ”

Before the words fell, Ye Yingwu had already rushed in, hugging left and right, so frightened that Zhao Yunshu and the others hurriedly dispersed, avoiding this guy who dared to do anything in broad daylight. Ye Yingwu was not in the mood to care about them now, but walked to Lu Wanyan's side. The baby's delicate hand gently grasped his fingers, and he saw that Ye Yingwu somehow showed a smile that melted people's hearts.

"It's better to kiss Daddy." Ye Yingwu was complacent.

Suddenly there were countless blank eyes.

Footsteps sounded, and a maidservant girl came over with some anxiety: "Your Highness, ・・・・・・ outside・・・・・・ outside"

"What's going on outside, what's the fluster?!" Ye Yingwu suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"The people outside knock on the que, and the black oppression is all people!" The handmaid's hands trembled a little.

"Knock?" Ye Yingwu was stunned for a moment, he had been in the north for a long time and did not come back, and he almost made a fuss about the civil and military officials going north to knock on the que, but now it is good, the officials are not in a hurry, but the people can't sit still. I just don't know what this knock is for?

But before the maid could answer, the warm spring breeze had already sent the answer.

Outside the high wall, you can faintly hear someone shouting.

"The people of Nanjing, I respectfully invite Your Highness to ascend the throne and uphold the country!"

"The people of Nanjing, I respectfully invite Your Highness to ascend the throne and uphold the country!"

I don't know how many people are shouting at the same time, wave after wave of shouts are afraid of hitting the palace wall, as if they want to knock down the red wall.

Ye Yingwu was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Is it finally here?" ”

Yang Xu looked at Ye Yingwu: "The husband said before that he needed three requests and three resignations, and the representative of the civil and military officials of the Ministry of Literature and the Ministry of Justice had already invited it once, and then the husband came back, Ye Shilang (referring to Ye Yingji), Zhang Shangshu (referring to Zhang Shijie) and uncle (referring to Yang Feng) and other relatives of the emperor have also written to the husband to ask the husband to ascend to the treasure, this is the second time." Now for the third time, it's finally here. ”

Lu Wanyan, Zhao Yunshu and others all subconsciously set their eyes on Ye Yingwu.

Ye Yingwu looked at Lu Wanyan and said, "Wanniang, are you interested in being a queen?" ”

Slowly stretched out her hand to hold Ye Yingwu's wrist, Lu Wanyan said lightly: "No matter where the husband goes, the concubine will accompany the husband to go down, without complaint or regret." ”

"Then answer them." Ye Yingwu let out a long breath.

Although for such a long time, he has actually been looking forward to this moment, after all, a traverser who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good traverser, he has already come to the step of His Royal Highness King Ming, and he is only half a step away from the throne, it is impossible to say that Ye Yingwu does not have the slightest idea. It's just that the pressure of Northern Mongolia was heavy on his shoulders before, so that Ye Yingwu couldn't spare his energy to complete this last step for a while.

What's more, there is still a difference between the king and the emperor, after all, Ye Yingwu called the king not the emperor, firstly, he wanted to play a role in boosting morale according to what he said, and he did not call himself the emperor for one day if he was not calm, and secondly, it was also to be able to withdraw from the capital more easily when the incident happened, after all, there was a big gap between the etiquette requirements of the king and the emperor, as the king of Ming, Ye Yingwu could go north by car, but as His Majesty the emperor, it was not so easy, one or two honor guards were missing, and those old men in the Ministry of Rites had to work hard.

The palace gate slowly opened, and when a row of armor soldiers walked out of the palace gate with sonorous steps, the people outside who were black and overwhelming were all in silence at this moment. Everyone subconsciously looked up at the opening of the palace gate.

Although Ye Yingwu was only wearing civilian clothes, when he walked out of the palace gate, all the people fell to the ground at the same time: "The people of Nanjing, knock on His Royal Highness King Ming!" ”

Instead of hurriedly stepping forward to help the people as always, Ye Yingwu stood on the steps, raised his hands slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please get up." ”

"His Royal Highness King Xie Ming!" Several elderly people who took the lead took the lead in answering aloud, and although the people behind did not answer and stand up at the same time, wave after wave of shouts were superimposed, and there was still an irresistible force rushing towards them.

Even the soldiers of the Ming Praetorian Guard, who had seen the battlefield and blood, were moved at this moment. All the people kneel down and worship the mountains and shout, this kind of power condensed by faith is enough to change the color of mountains and rivers. And Ye Yingwu's hand also trembled slightly, and he didn't know if it was because of excitement or because he was a little nervous in front of such a majestic formation.

Without waiting for Ye Yingwu to speak, several old men had already taken a step forward at the same time, their white hair rising and falling in the wind. The Ming Dynasty inherited the Song system, respected the old and loved the young, and respected the old people very much. Although Ye Yingwu was a king, he was still young after all, so he naturally couldn't stand on the steps anymore at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

The Praetorian Guard soldiers behind him wanted to step forward with him, but Ye Yingwu waved his hand to stop him, leaving Xiao Yangzi alone to chase him over.

The old man in front took out a stack of folded paper from his sleeve, bowed down, and handed the paper to Ye Yingwu's side: "Little Lao'er would like to lead 500,000 people in Nanjing City, and respectfully invite His Royal Highness to ascend the throne and honor the country!" This is a signed petition and persuasion form from all over Nanjing, and His Royal Highness is also requested to receive and read it to see the hearts of the people of Nanjing. ”

And the people next to him shouted at the same time: "Respectfully invite Your Highness to ascend the throne and uphold the country!" ”

Ye Yingwu paused for a moment, his voice was rarely calm, and he looked around and arched his hand: "Fellow villagers, Ye is on the throne, dreaming of sleeping at night, and he has worked hard for this state affairs, and often thinks that he is incompetent. As the king of Ming, this is already the case, if he ascends the throne, I am afraid that he will live up to the high expectations of the villagers! Ye is panicked, Ye is panicked, and I ask you folks to take it back. ”

Xiao Yangzi, who was standing behind Ye Yingwu, couldn't help but stick out his tongue slightly, when is this time His Royal Highness is still acting at a glance, if he is a person who does not know what, I am afraid that he really thinks that His Royal Highness King Ming really thinks that he is not qualified for this position.

But the people have already come to this point, and naturally Ye Yingwu can't afford to refuse. If Ye Yingwu refused, and still be his Royal Highness King Ming, and even go to find some ethereal former Song Dynasty bloodline to pull it up, then how should they, the people who are standing here now, deal with themselves in the future?

At that moment, several old men took a step forward at the same time: "Your Highness, the country cannot be without a king for a day, Your Highness promised the people of the world on the same day, and the day when the Central Plains was set in the north is the time when Your Highness will be called the emperor, and I also ask Your Highness to fulfill the promise of that day." The sincere heart of the people of Nanjing should be reported to His Royal Highness and the Ming Dynasty! ”

Ye Yingwu was silent for a moment, the sky was cloudless, and the warm spring breeze was blowing, which was very comfortable. But this black crowd is like a dark cloud pressing in front of him, and it is difficult for any spring breeze and sunshine to dissipate it. These are your own people, faithful to your own people!

His hand trembled slightly and took over the thick pile of paper, Ye Yingwu found that there was a string of red fingerprints under each piece of paper, this was not a simple persuasion form or a petition at all, but a blood book.

Countless people looked up at Ye Yingwu, their eyes full of expectation.

"Your Majesty, take us and give us a direction to work hard and a place to sweat!" A man in the crowd shouted.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Countless people were like a barrel of ignited gunpowder, falling into madness at this moment. Outside the entire palace city, the cheers were like rolling waves, beating the palace walls one after another, and also beating the already empty neighborhoods and even the city walls in the distance!
