The Final Chapter: The Dawn of Prosperity

Unlike the posture of the monarchs and ministers in the palace who hate the same enemy and hate to eat Wang Xian, the soldiers and people in the capital have different opinions. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Someone scolded Wang Xian for being mad, and the emperor had already agreed to all his conditions, and he even wanted to do this.

But some people say that this matter is too strange, because Wang Xian was also poisoned at the same time, if he was poisoned, he couldn't even poison himself, right?

Moreover, it was the emperor who proposed to drink, and the wine was also taken out by the emperor, could Wang Xian still be unpredictable and hide the poison on his body in advance?

In short, there is everything to say, but there is no one-sided condemnation of Wang Xian......

But no matter what, Wang Xianjun's morale has fallen into a trough, the commander is poisoned, his life and death are unknown, and it is impossible for the military spirit not to waver!

At this time, Chengshan Marquis Wang Tong actually led an army of 80,000 to leave Juyong Pass and rushed back to the capital in the starry night.

At the same time, tens of thousands of Qinwang troops in Henan, as well as Zhu Mo, the king of Shen in Luzhou, Zhu Jiyan, the king of Yiwang in Luoyang, and Zhu Meigui, the king of Jin, all led the army to the vicinity of Daxing and formed a coalition of more than 100,000 troops.

The city of Tongzhou was stormy, and the soldiers couldn't accept it at all, and in a blink of an eye, it became a huge change from sweeping the world to embattled. It was clear to everyone that it was all because their manager had fallen......

On the fifth day of Wang Xian's poisoning, a group of dusty servants knocked on the closed gate of Tongzhou City.

Zhang Yi, who was guarding the city, saw a familiar face among the people who came, and couldn't help but shout: "Xue Huan! ”

That person turned out to be Xue Huan who was sent to Annan by Wang Xian!

Xue Huan, who was covered with scars, barely squeezed out a smile, slapped Zhang Yi hard, and said in a low voice: "I brought a divine doctor, hurry up and see the adult!" ”

"Okay." Zhang Yi immediately led them into the mansion, through the layers of guards, to a room full of medicinal smells.

Wu Wei and Xianyun were guarding outside the door, and when they saw one of the people coming, the former exclaimed in surprise: "Dad, you are really not dead!" ”

The so-called miracle doctor is naturally Dr. Wu, who was very happy to see his son, but almost tilted his nose when he heard the words, and snorted: "With a son like you, Lao Tzu is not far from death!" After speaking, he ignored Wu Wei, who was stammering, lifted the curtain, and entered the inner room.

Then Dr. Wu was stunned, only to see medicine boiling on the charcoal stove in the house, and His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan, who was 'dying', actually sat cross-legged on the kang, engrossed in playing backgammon with Erhei opposite......

"Ahem!" Dr. Wu breathed again and coughed vigorously twice. Wang Xian turned his head when he heard the voice, and said with a surprised smile: "Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, it can be regarded as bringing you back!" ”

"Yes, uncle, if you don't come back, the prince won't be able to get out of this house." Erhei jumped off the kang and gave up his seat to Dr. Wu.

"I know that you kid is ghostly, you can't be stupid and drink when you see wine." Only then did Dr. Wu let go of his hanging heart, sat opposite Wang Xian, and looked at his face carefully, only to see that his face was slightly blue. Doctor Wu frowned and said, "Or is it poisoned?" ”

"Hey......" Wang Xian sighed and said, "I just took it in my mouth, I didn't expect the toxicity to be so ......"

Doctor Wu took Wang Xian's pulse, and said with a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I will prescribe you a few antidote potions, so that you can continue to plague the world......" After speaking, Doctor Wu said a little incredulously: "How did you guess that the wine is poisonous?" ”

On the way here, Dr. Wu had already learned what had happened in detail. Since he thought that an old man like himself would be deceived by the emperor, he didn't expect Wang Xian to remain vigilant.

Wang Xian's eyes were painful, obviously unwilling to recall the situation of that day, and he sighed for a long time and said: "Actually, I didn't pay attention at all at first, but when I saw the pair of golden cups, a sentence popped out of my heart, so I took the wine in my mouth and spit it out by wiping my mouth. ”

"What?" Erhei and Dr. Wu asked in unison.

"The golden cup is drunk together, and the white blades are not forgiving...... Wang Xian said slowly.

"What do you mean?" Erhei stared at the one-eyed and didn't know why.

Doctor Wu showed such a look and explained softly: "This is what Emperor Taizu said to Ru Taisu back then. The golden cup is in front, and the white blade is behind, what do you mean? ”

"Ah, that's the case......" Erhei suddenly realized.

"It's all your usual soldier's ruffian face," Doctor Wu looked at Wang Xian, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Let Emperor Hongxi forget that you have also been lifted......

Wang Xian said with a gloomy expression: "In any case, the charge of killing the monarch has been detained on my head, and I am also the emperor who once had great kindness to me, and it is a foregone conclusion that I will not be supported by the hearts of the people in the world." ”

"Not necessarily." Dr. Wu shook his head and smiled: "I have one side that can cure the disease...... I just don't know if you want to use it? ”

"Do I have any other options?" Wang Xian let out a long sigh.

In the afternoon of the same day, the good news that Dr. Wu rescued Wang Xian spread all over Tongzhou City, and the soldiers swept away the haze and cheered straight into the sky!

When the Qinwang coalition army in Daxing heard the news, they pulled out the camp overnight and retreated into Beijing......

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Xian held on to the 'sick body' and led 10,000 cavalry to the southeast, and two days later arrived at Dagukou, 200 miles away.

On the shore of Dagukou, countless huge ships are quietly docked on the dock, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming army whose military uniforms are slightly different from those of the Central Plains are patrolling and guarding. Seeing Xue Huan appear, they immediately saluted respectfully and called them generals. These are naturally the troops that Xue Huan brought back from the Jiaozhi Political Division.

"It's a pity that the distance is too far, and I can't help anything." Xue Huan sighed with infinite regret, as soon as he received Wang Xian's order, he immediately led the crowd to board the ship and return home, drifting on the sea for more than a month, and when he arrived in Tianjin, it was already time for the two armies to negotiate peace......

"Don't worry, your battle is indispensable." Wang Xian chuckled, and saw a wrinkled, emaciated monk, accompanied by Chang Mao and Huai'en, walking down from the battleship.

Wang Xian hurriedly stepped forward and led the crowd to greet him: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

The monk was actually Zhu Yunwen, who had disappeared for many years, and he was sent to Jiaozhi by Wang Xian seven years ago, thinking that he could finally get rid of the entanglement of fate, and spend the rest of his life in the ancient Buddha of the green lantern at the end of the day.

Who knows, but still can't hide......

Looking at Wang Xian, looking at Chang Mao, Huai En, and Dr. Wu, Zhu Yun sighed and said: "Let you toss, the poor monk just wants to return to Jiaozhi ...... as soon as possible."

Doctor Wu and Chang Mao couldn't help but look ashamed. They themselves know that seeking to restore the country is no longer for Emperor Jianwen, but for the obsession of this life.

In any case, Wang Xian raised the banner of Emperor Jianwen, and became a loyal minister who endured humiliation for Emperor Jianwen's restoration, so that whether he killed Zhu Di or killed Zhu Di's son, it became a loyal act. No more burdening with those heavy infamy......

Beijing. Hearing that Wang Xian raised the banner of Emperor Jianwen, all the princes and ministers were colorless.

What they rely on is nothing more than Zhu Ming's orthodoxy! But Emperor Jianwen is the heir of Emperor Taizu! And the throne that Zhu Zhanjun sat on was taken from Jianwen by his grandfather Zhu Di who rebelled and took it from Jianwen! As soon as Jianwen came out, the title of rebellious minister and thief fell on their heads......

Seeing that the ministers were messed up, Zhu Zhanjun laughed loudly and said: "The king thief is at the end of his rope, and he actually came up with such a way to do it!" Just find a cat or a dog and pretend to be Zhu Yunwen. ”

Several vassal kings were relatively detached, and when they heard this, they asked, "Your Majesty, does your majesty have any evidence to prove that this Zhu Yunwen is a fake?" ”

"Of course I have!" Zhu Zhanjun said in a deep voice full of confidence: "Before Emperor Daxing left, he told me that the real Emperor Jianwen had already been found by the emperor, and now he was secretly locked up in Qingshou Temple, how could he run to Tongzhou?" ”

"That's right! It's so good! The princes and ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some unease: "Please also ask Your Majesty to bring him over quickly, verify his identity, and set the record straight!" ”

"That's how it should be!" Zhu Zhanjun issued an order and ordered Dongchang to bring Zhu Yunwen from Qingshou Temple.

Shen Wang Zhu Mo had seen Jianwen, and when he saw the old monk with a vicissitudes of life, he stroked his palms and smiled: "It's not wrong, it's him!" ”

Before the ministers could laugh, they heard the monk laugh and say, "Idiot." The poor monk is the emperor's stand-in, and he has deceived you for so many years, and now that the true dragon is born, I will also have a complete merit. ”

Zhu Zhanjun and the others were stupid there.

Although the imperial court in Beijing would not admit that Emperor Jianwen of Tongzhou was true in any case. But at this time, it was only more than 20 years since the Jianwen Dynasty, and there were still a large number of old and young people alive, and these people heard that Zhu Yunwen was back, and they would come to see it regardless of whether it was true or not, so they went to Tongzhou one after another and asked to see Jianwen.

Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to come out to meet them, and when he saw these former ministers, he was also very emotional, and when he talked to them about the old things, those people were immediately convinced, knelt in front of Jianwen, and cried so much that he cried all over the ......

True is true, and it's only going to get more and more true. It didn't take long for the people of the world to accept that he was the grandson of Emperor Taizu and His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In the eyes of the people of the world, Jiangshan originally belonged to Emperor Jianwen, and now it is natural to take it back. Of course, Zhu Di's regime has been established for more than 20 years, and there is no shortage of supporters, especially those who persecuted Jianwen's former ministers and divided their property.

In any case, at this time, it doesn't matter who is in charge and who is not, everything is only based on strength.

In fact, this is the people of the world standing on Jianwen's side, because there is no suspense about the victory or defeat of the two sides at the moment......

Although the Beijing court had a large number of soldiers, the vassal kings and Qin Wang's armies in various places had already stood still, and they did not dare to take another step closer to Beijing, so they could only rely on the 500,000 troops in the city......

Although there are only 70,000 or 80,000 troops in Tongzhou City so far, no one dares to lead the troops to fight, whether it is Wang Tong or several vassal kings who rushed to King Qin, and they all cowered in Beijing City motionless.

What's even worse is that with Wang Xian's army outside the city, grain from all over the city could not be transported to Beijing at all, and there were hundreds of thousands of mouths in the capital to eat, and soon the food was cut off, and the soldiers and civilians in the city could only satisfy their hunger with grassroots and wild vegetables......

The soldiers and civilians did not have much opinion on Wang Xian, who surrounded Beijing, after all, the two armies were fighting, and the encirclement was the proper intention. What they hate is the emperor and the princes and ministers who don't care about their own life and death, these guys are fed all day long, and they don't have to worry about starving, but the common people are going to starve to death!

When Liu Sheng led his army of more than 100,000 people, he returned to the pass from the Bauhinia Pass where Zhang Wu and Liu Zijin were in the handle, and rushed to join Wang Xian. Wang Xian finally began to attack the city of Beijing.

Where will the defenders who have been disheartened and alienated from Germany fight to the death? There were even soldiers and civilians who secretly destroyed the city defenses and helped Wang Xian attack the city. Seeing that the general trend had gone, the princes and ministers in the city couldn't sit still, so they took advantage of the chaos in defending the city, secretly contacted the outside of the city, opened the Chaoyang Gate, and let Wang Xian's army enter the city.

In the imperial city, he learned that the outer city had been breached, and Zhu Zhanjun sat in the Qianqing Palace full of firewood and grass, wanting to be martyred. Empress Dowager Zhang bitterly persuaded him not to do stupid things. Zhu Zhanjun said that what Zhu Yunwen can do, I can also do. Empress Dowager Zhang sighed: "He didn't burn himself to death, but he stayed in Tongzhou decently!" ”

Zhu Zhanjun was stunned when he heard this, and he no longer had the courage to let the eunuch pass the word out, hoping to surrender with dignity.

Wang Xian accepted Zhu Zhanjun's surrender, quickly stabilized the situation in the capital, and transported grain from Tongzhou. The common people cried with joy while holding the rice with white flowers, and the little resentment against Wang Xian flew away from the clouds......

After cleaning up the palace, Wang Xian respectfully invited Emperor Jianwen to enter Beijing. In fact, Zhu Yunwen didn't want to step into Beijing at all, this is the place where Zhu Di made his career, and every city brick has a strong Yanwang atmosphere. Maybe someone will have the pleasure of revenge, but Zhu Yunwen only felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't wait to finish the monkey show so that he could go back to the mountain temple of Jiaozhi......

But since the day he burned down the imperial palace in Jinling and died at the end of the world, he has been shrouded in the will of others and cannot help himself. At this moment, sitting on the dragon chair again, he can still only follow the pre-written script, acting out other people's plays one by one.

In February of that year, Zhu Yunwen issued an order to restore the throne and changed the name of the country to 'orthodoxy'.

On the same day, Zhu Yunwen issued another decree to crown Wang Xian as the king of virtue, and posthumously crowned three generations of ancestors. He also appointed Wang Xian as the governor of the capital, and the governor of the world's soldiers and horses.

On the next day, Zhu Yunwen issued the third decree, ordering the military power of the vassal kings in the world to be cut off, and ordering the vassal kings from all over the country to live in the capital within a time limit.

More than 20 princes from all over the country, nearly 100 county kings, and tens of thousands of clans were in an uproar. Immediately, more than a dozen princes rebelled, and they also had to learn from the side of the Qing monarch......

When the military intelligence arrived in Beijing, Zhu Yunwen ordered King De to supervise the government and the chief regent of the military and political power on the grounds that the dragon was unwell. Ignoring the minister's dissuasion, he continued to be a monk in Qingshou Temple......

Wang Xian immediately sent five generals, Mo Wen, Liu Sheng, Zhang Yi, Xue Huan, and Deng Xiaoxian, each with 20,000 soldiers and horses, to go to various places to quell the rebellion. Those wastewood-like princes of the Zhu family, where are the opponents of these tiger and wolf divisions. Within half a year, all the rebellions were put down, and the rebellious princes, as well as the clans that colluded with them, were escorted back to Beijing one after another.

When returning to the army, Mo Wen and others also brought the rest of the clan princes back to the capital by the way, and the princes of the clan who had been in trouble for nearly 60 years were finally swept away, and the officials and people of the world all celebrated with their hands. Everywhere the army went, the squires and the common people actually welcomed them, which shows how unpopular these parasites are!

Wang Xian's move can be described as killing four birds with one stone, one is to buy the hearts of the world, the second is to eliminate the hidden dangers of the clan, the third is to save half of the treasury expenditure, and the fourth is to clear the obstacles for his next step......

In the first year of orthodoxy, Zhu Yunwen came out of the temple and ordered Wang Xian to add nine tins. Now even a fool understands that the emperor is going to give up the throne to King De......

Many people began to persuade him, but Wang Xian was unmoved, and devoted all his energy to the implementation of a series of policies such as resuming production, encouraging industry and commerce, lifting the sea ban, and abolishing household registration.

These guidelines are all measures launched by Wang Xian in response to the shortcomings that he has experienced in the past ten years, which can be described as the right medicine. Three years later, the world was under great rule, the five grains were abundant, Jiaozhi was pacified, and the four seas came to the court......

At this time, Zhu Yunwen, whose life had come to an end, once again proposed to cede the throne to Wang Xian.

This time, it is very different from the situation three years ago, Wang Xian has completely conquered the hearts of the people in the world, and the officials and people have long known that there is a virtuous king, but they do not know that there is an emperor.

Moreover, Zhu Yunwen's only son, Zhu Wengui, has been locked up by Zhu Di's father and son as an idiot who can't distinguish between cattle and horses, and has no heirs, so it is a matter of course for the throne to be ceded to Wang Xian.

Thousands of old gentry went to the capital to kneel and beg His Royal Highness King De to obey the will of the people, Wang Xian finally reluctantly agreed to accept the Zen concession, and set the year name as 'Dingyuan', but did not change the country name, it is still the great tomorrow.

This was followed by the enthronement ceremony and the canonization of the concubine.

Wang Xian canonized a total of three concubines. Lin Qing'er is the queen, Baoyin Qiqige is the imperial concubine, and Lingxiao is the virtuous concubine. But people who love gossip are talking about whether the Xu family who was named a concubine is Xu Miaojin......

After ascending the throne, Wang Xian called himself a great official, reigned for 62 years, made great efforts, political clarity, national peace and security, freedom and relaxation, cultural prosperity, prosperity of industry and commerce, prosperity of the country and the people, expansion of territory, all states to the dynasty, history called the prosperous era of Dingyuan.
