367 The two dragons meet outside the Xizhi Gate, and the Son of Heaven kneels down to worship the emperor and receives the salute

The Son of Heaven stopped two miles away from Xizhimen, and Zhu Qiyu got out of the chariot by himself.

Xu Tong and Gu Zhong led 5,000 guards, surrounded by the emperor and the concubine's two chariots, and continued to move forward, all the way to send the concubine and the two princesses into the palace, and then stayed in the imperial city and deployed together with Tiancewei.

Zhu Qiyu attaches great importance and caution to today's welcoming ceremony, although the possibility of the nobles and generals having convulsions is almost non-existent, but Zhu Qiyu is still fully mentally prepared.

If anyone really dares to commit rebellion, they must kill their nine clans until there is no one left before the sun rises tomorrow.

Zhu Qiyu's own style is completely different from Zhu Qizhen, either he doesn't do it, or if he wants to do it, he will kill others until he is completely afraid.

Like Zhu Qizhen's half-witted and funny operation of throwing the minister into prison and releasing it in a few days, it is better to have less neatness.

After getting off the chariot, Xu Chengzong, Duke of Wei, Xu Heng, Duke of Anguo, Guo Chang, Marquis of Wuding, and others, as well as the scholars of the cabinet, greeted and saluted together.

After seeing Zhu Qiyu's clothes clearly, the ministers were a little stunned.

The dignified son of heaven is swaggering to dress as a prince, which is a little different from the process that the Ministry of Rites said.

No, the Ministry of Rites didn't confirm the details of the costume with the emperor at all, because no one would have thought that the emperor would wear a prince's costume to greet the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu gave the Ministry of Rites a 'cut first and then play'.

Especially Yu Shiyue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was so sad that his face turned green. For the emperor, you can't beat or scold. Persuasion can be persuaded, but it is useless, because even if the emperor is willing to listen to persuasion, there is no time to take the dragon robe for the emperor to change into.

Yu Shiyue looked around, except for Zhou Chen, Shi Pu, and Jin Lian who frowned tightly, the rest of Wang Wen, Jiang Yuan, He Wenyuan, Huang Pu, and He Yi all looked happy, as if they were overjoyed because the Emperor Taishang returned to Beijing smoothly.

Zhu Qiyu raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw that both sides of the road were full of Ming soldiers, and it was difficult to see the end as far as the eye could see.

A total of 50,000 people were dispatched from the Shenji Battalion and the Xiaoqi Battalion, and the team stretched from Xizhimen to the place where Emperor Taishang was camped ten miles away.

Zhu Qiyu arranged it like this, firstly, to protect the Emperor, and secondly, to ask the Emperor to inspect the new Beijing camp of the Ming Dynasty.

For Zhu Qizhen, these 50,000 elites of the Ming army belong to the Xinjing camp. Because the old Jingying has been defeated by the emperor himself.

I don't know how Zhu Qizhen will feel during the military parade.

While Zhu Qiyu and hundreds of civil and military officials were there with a lot of emotion, Zhu Qizhen was also surrounded by Hu Hui, Yu Qian, Zhang Zhong, Wang Tong, Wu Jin and others, boarded the chariot and headed for Xizhimen.

When Zhu Qizhen first boarded the chariot, he looked at the Ming soldiers on both sides of the road, but he didn't feel too much.

But after Zhu Qizhen sat down in the chariot and started to march, he had to sigh.

Because where the Son of Heaven's honor guard passed, the soldiers on both sides shouted in unison: "Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live the Emperor!" ”

Each time, 3,000 people chanted in unison, which was quite powerful.

At this time, Zhu Qizhen couldn't sit still at all, just listening to this battle, I don't know how much the emperor thought he had won.

It didn't take long for Zhu Qizhen to sweat.

There's no way, my heart is empty!

Thinking of the fiasco of Tumubao, Zhu Qizhen really couldn't face the grand welcome ceremony in front of him with confidence.

Behind Zhu Qizhen's Son of Heaven honor guard, followed by a prisoner car, which was also locked in the car first. Behind them was the Jinyi guard, who supervised Boyan Timur and the 1,500-strong Warat mission, and slowly moved forward.

Life is like a dream. A year and a half ago, he was still an invincible hero, showing off his might and high spirits under the city of Beijing.

In the blink of an eye, he became a prisoner, about to accept the humiliation and abuse of the Ming court and the people of the capital.

As Zhu Qizhen's car gradually approached, more than 100,000 people had gathered outside Xizhi Gate, and there were at least tens of thousands of people on the city wall.

People crowded, people crowded, people were waiting to witness this historic moment.

Zhu Qiyu waited for less than a meal, and Zhu Ying, the king of Min, and Zhu Wengui, the king of Dongwu County, also rushed outside the city.

Now only these two vassal kings have been left in the capital by Zhu Qiyu, and when they saw the arrival of the two carriages, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly greeted them in person.

Today, Zhu Qiyu also considers himself a prince, so when the emperor drove a mile away from everyone, the three kings stood side by side at the forefront to greet him.

Since Zhu Qiyu is one of the two protagonists today, he stands in the middle. King Min is on the left, and King Dongwu is on the right.

After a few moments of waiting, the car finally came closer.

Except for Zhu Qiyu, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the Emperor Taishang returning to Beijing, long live, long live, long live!" ”

The scene is completely done, at least the government and the opposition can't find reason.

Zhu Qizhen slowly stepped off the car, and as soon as he stood still, before he could take a closer look, Zhu Qiyu pounced, knelt on the ground, hugged his brother's thighs and cried.

This caught Zhu Qizhen off guard, Zhu Qizhen had been an emperor for 14 years, and naturally he knew how to act.

But Zhu Qizhen thought that the process should be that the brothers knelt down together, hugged each other and cried, so that the world could see the brothers, friends and brothers.

Zhu Qizhen didn't expect his younger brother to hug his thighs tightly as soon as he came up, crying and crying.

This made Zhu Qizhen unable to kneel, so he could only passively pestle there, helpless.

In the eyes of the onlookers, it became the emperor kneeling to greet him, and the emperor was saluted.

Hu Hu and Yu Qian saw that the scene was a little out of control, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade and support.

Only then did Zhu Qiyu stand up, and while holding back tears, he expressed his joy at the eldest brother's return to Beijing.

Now that Zhu Qiyu stood up, Zhu Qizhen couldn't kneel alone anymore, so he had to hug and cry with his younger brother with the same red eyes.

The heavy task of persuading the two emperors was all on the shoulders of Hu Hu and Yu Qian.

The two of them talked about it, but the two brothers Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu stopped.

Next, it is the clan nobles and civil and military ministers who pay homage in turn.

The first is King Min. Because Zhu Ying, the king of Min, is the eighteenth son of Taizu and the only surviving son of Taizu, he is three generations older than Zhu Qizhen.

So on the contrary, Zhu Qizhen took the initiative to salute King Min, and King Min replied, and cordially expressed his condolences to Emperor Taishang.

Next, there is the king of Soochow County. Although Zhu Qizhen had never met Zhu Wengui, he had also heard Hu Hu talk in detail about the changes in the court, and naturally knew that this uncle Wang who could stand side by side with Zhu Qiyu was the son-in-law of Emperor Jianwen.

Zhu Qizhen stopped the king of Dongwu County from kneeling down, and the two sides politely saluted and said a few more words.

Next, it is Xu Chengzong, the Duke of Wei. The two knew each other, Xu Chengzong cried and knelt down, and sighed with emotion.

After that, it was Xu Heng, the Duke of Anguo. When Zhu Qizhen sent troops to fight in person, Xu Heng was still the Marquis of Xing'an, and now when he returns to the capital, Xu Heng has become the Duke of An Guo and ranks among the most powerful nobles in the Ming Dynasty.

And then it's embarrassing. Guo Chang, Marquis of Wuding, is only in his early thirties, but he is the father-in-law of Zhu Qiyu, the new emperor.

The key was that Zhu Qizhen and Sanyang did not practice the three generations of Yongjia's eldest princess, Guo Zhen, and Guo Chang.

Thirty years in Hedong and forty years in Hexi. Now that feng shui is turning, Guo Chang's vein has completely turned over again.

Zhu Qizhen humbly accepted Guo Chang's worship, and the next thing was to pay homage to the civil and military ministers.
