Chapter 305: The Forbidden City, Inside the Qianqing Palace......
"Uncle...... Yuan Qing, you have all suffered. Zhu Qizhen strode to Sun Jizong, stretched out his big hand, and helped Sun Jizong, who was prostrate on the ground and crying bitterly, looking at the bloodstains on the armor on Sun Jizong's body, as well as the blood stains oozing under the bandage on his arm, he knew that the Sun family had given almost everything for his throne.
They have done many things for themselves inside and outside the Beijing Division, risking the risk of being punished, and their layout in Beijing is almost all Sun Jizong's brothers working hard for themselves, this kindness, as well as their kindness to their nephew, how can Zhu Qizhen not be moved.
"Your Majesty can return safely, and it is not a pity for the ministers to die." Yuan Bin and the others were very excited in their hearts, and after spending so much time and energy, finally, seeing Zhu Qizhen return to Jingshi and get back the rights and positions that belonged to him, their efforts were equivalent to having a perfect harvest.
"Okay, okay, it's good that you're all still here." Zhu Qizhen didn't know how to comfort them for a while, but just patted them on the shoulder with his big hand. However, he saw the wounds on everyone's bodies, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Sun Jizong. "Uncle, how is the queen mother?"
"Your Majesty is relieved, Niangniang is safe and sound, and now Renshou Palace is all the dead soldiers of my grandson's mansion, as well as Your Majesty's personal army." Sun Jizong took a few deep breaths, finally returned to some normalcy, and hurried to Zhu Qizhen's side: "Niangniang asked the ministers to tell Your Majesty, please go to the Fengtian Palace as soon as possible, and hold a court meeting to determine the name, so as to subdue the ministers with the power of Zhangtian, avoid recurrent disasters, and stabilize the heart of the Ming Dynasty and Li Shu." ”
Zhu Qizhen turned around and saw those civil and military officials who came to greet him, and nodded solemnly, at this time, it is indeed not the time to relax, everything must be decided in the shortest possible time, so that everyone in the world knows that he has become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty again.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully request you." And Lao Wang Zhi and the others also shouted in unison behind him, Zhu Qizhen helped the golden helmet on his head, took a big stride, and walked towards the Fengtian Palace, which represented the supreme ruling center of the Ming Empire.
Fengtian Palace, commonly known as "Jinluan Palace", is located in the prominent position of the main axis of the north and south of the Forbidden City, Yongle was built in 18 years, and is called Fengtian Palace. On the top of the load-bearing eaves palace, sit down 3 layers of white marble steps, adopt the golden dragon and the seal color painting, the roof of the immortal beast as many as 11 pieces, 11 rooms, all adopt the highest shape system.
It can be said that it is one of the largest existing wooden frame buildings in the Ming Dynasty, there is a square in front of the palace, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people to worship and celebrate, the whole palace is magnificent, it is the main building of the entire Forbidden City, and even the symbol of the entire Beijing Division, and also represents the political core of the Ming Empire, which is also here.
Moreover, since Emperor Taizong, every emperor Yanjing of the Ming Dynasty held a grand ceremony in the Fengtian Palace, such as the emperor's enthronement, the emperor's wedding, the canonization of the queen, and the order of the generals, in addition to the annual longevity festival, New Year's Day, and the winter solstice, the emperor accepts the congratulations of civil and military officials here, and gives banquets to the princes and ministers.
And when Zhu Qizhen slowly walked up the steps, the civil and military ministers who came here, as well as the nobles, as well as those generals and soldiers, all bowed down, and tens of thousands of people shouted long live in unison, once again shocked the entire Forbidden City, Zhu Qizhen stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the people who were willing to cheer for him, in his heart, the last trace of taboo and worry had turned into ashes.
The Ming Dynasty, the last dynasty established by the Han people, is already in its own hands, and the Ming Empire will embark on a new path, and it will always be passed on...... -------------------- moment, the remaining guards guarded the Qianqing Palace tightly, but after waiting for a long time, those rebels who invaded the Forbidden City have not launched an attack here.
During this period, they had sent a lot of people to seek the help of the guards of the forbidden army to suppress this rebellion, but now, half an hour has passed, but there is no news coming back, which makes Zhang Yong and others more and more anxious, and Zhu Qiyu once again woke up from that slumber.
Hearing that Zhang Yong and others had reported everything that had happened in the Forbidden City, Zhu Qiyu was completely stunned, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses under the worried eyes of Zhang Yong and others. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"
"What about the ministers, are they eating dry food? There is actually a plot against the rebel party who dares to attack Ouchi, don't they know how to send troops to pacify it?! Zhu Qiyu's roar was very weak, but the madness and anger in those fierce eyes made the temperature in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace seem to be ignited by his anger.
"Long live the lord, the minions have sent out several manpower to let the guards come to quell the rebellion, but now, there is no reply. Someone just came to report that the Jinyi Guard commanded Lord Lu Zhonglu, who wanted to lead the palace guards to Pingding, but he didn't want to be captured by Sun Jizong in front ......of the Renshou Palace."
“…… Now, outside the gates around the Qianqing Palace, there are chaotic parties guarding us, and we are completely trapped in this Qianqing Palace. Zhang Yong wiped the tears of despair that flowed from the corners of his eyes and sobbed.
"How long has it been?" Zhu Qiyu wanted to stand up, but the soft body could not give him enough support, if it wasn't for the timely support of those eunuchs, I am afraid that he would have to fall back to the bed. "Where is my emperor, where is he?"
Wang Qin wiped the tears on his face: "Long live the lord, don't worry, when I heard that there was a rebellion in the palace at the beginning, the minions had already taken the concubine Niangniang and His Royal Highness the prince to the Qianqing Palace. Now I'm afraid I'm resting in the apse. ”
"From the beginning of hearing the news to now, I am afraid that half an hour has passed, and those foreign ministers, except for Wang Wenwang Pavilion Elder, He Wenyuan He Lord, Sun Yuanzhen Sun Lord, Yi Mingyi Lord, and Mao Sheng Mao Du Du led Yulin Zuo Wei to rush to reinforcements, now several adults are inspecting the guards of the various gates of the Qianqing Palace, and the rest of the ministers, there is no one to rescue them, long live Lord, what should we do now."
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu's withered face couldn't help twitching. "Come to someone, pass the decree, pass it on Yu Qian, pass it on Yang Hong, pass it on those generals to come to the aid of Da Nei, I don't believe they dare to resist the decree."
"Long live the lord, the minions have already sent it, but Yu Shangshu and them, there is no response, and now, there are rumors that Yu Qian and Yang Hong designed to capture the Wang Changgong and his subordinates who were loyal to the long live lord, and now they have surrendered to the emperor, opened the city gate, and welcomed the emperor into the city." Shu Liang said with a sad face.
"What? ......" Zhu Qiyu's heart suddenly cooled, his eyes darkened, and he almost fell into a coma again, struggling to push away Wang Qin, who was supporting him, and shouted: "Those chaotic ministers and thieves, chaotic ministers and thieves, I am the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can they do this......
After roaring a few times, Zhu Qiyu turned his head and glared at Zhang Yong and the others viciously. "I don't believe it, you bastards, is there something that has deceived me? Are you not afraid that I will take your life? ”
Zhang Yong bowed to the ground and cried: "Long live the old man, the old slave has been with you for more than 20 years. You want the life of the old slave, and the old slave has no complaints. But long live Lord, think about it, how can the people who want to harm you be those of us who have watched you grow up, who have always been thinking about you, serving you before and after the saddle? ”
The eunuchs also fell to the ground, weeping bitterly, crying to Zhu Qiyu who was as white as paper and crying about their loyalty, looking at these tearful henchmen and eunuchs, Zhu Qiyu's heart couldn't help but gloomy, and waved his hand weakly: "Give it to me, I know your loyalty." ”
"I've only been lying on the couch for a few days, why did I become like this in a blink of an eye, such a situation?" Sitting back on the edge of the couch, Zhu Qiyu whispered, hearing Zhu Qiyu's self-talk, Zhang Yong and the others could only be silent.
After a lot of effort, Wang Wen and the others, whose official robes looked a little messy, walked into the hall, and when they saw them, Zhu Qiyu seemed to be full of strength in his body all of a sudden, stood up and took a few steps forward. "Ladies and gentlemen, what is the situation now? Which general came to the aid with the guards? ”
Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was looking at him expectantly, Wang Wen opened his mouth, but there was no way to say the shocking and embarrassing truth. Seeing the ugly and gloomy expressions of Wang Wen and the ministers behind him, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but smile a little nervously. "Those ministers, they won't be rushing to find their new emperor anymore, will they?"
"Your Majesty, there must be a lot of ministers loyal to Your Majesty, but now I am afraid that the chaotic party is powerful, and I am afraid that the palace ban is now in the midst of a war, as long as we can keep the Qianqing Palace without losing, think about it, those generals who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty will definitely sweep away those chaotic parties and enter the palace to protect Your Majesty's holy drive." Wang Wen stepped forward and said comfortably to that Zhu Qiyu.
It's just that even if Wang Wen said this himself, he was not so confident. Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly and nodded. "Okay, I'll just wait, I also want to see, Daming, how many more loyal ministers like you Aiqing can have."
Hearing Zhu Qiyu say such gloomy words, Wang Wen and the others were speechless, and at this time, a large internal guard with a bandage on his arm, a face as pale as paper, and a panicked expression was being taken to the main hall of Qianqing Palace by several iron-faced Qianqing Palace guards.
