Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Emperor Is Coming
"Oh... This dress is a style that people from overseas like to wear, and I think it looks good, so I brought a few sets. Zhu Changwu replied with a smile, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he threw the pot out.
"I see." Empress Zhou knew about Zhu Changwu's return from the open sea, so she nodded as if she understood. Subsequently, I didn't forget to say to my daughter Princess Changping that the style of this dress was really good-looking.
Princess Zhu Huijiao lowered her head slightly, echoed from time to time, and then looked at Zhu Changwu with her residual vision, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that his gaze did not look this way.
Chongzhen, who had some ink, finally changed into a dragon robe.
The so-called people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, Chongzhen, who was originally a handsome guy, after changing into a golden dragon robe, the whole person instantly became taller, and a sense of majesty and domineering was involuntarily reflected in the body.
"Yes, handsome." Zhu Changwu saw Chongzhen who had changed into formal clothes, and involuntarily stepped forward and touched the dragon robe.
"It's good, and the clothes are also very good, so they should be worth a lot of money." Zhu Changwu, who had finished touching, took a step back and asked curiously.
Wang Chengen stared at this scene with wide eyes, and when the bold word was about to come out, who knew that the people had retreated, so he could only hold the words in his stomach, which was really uncomfortable.
When the crown prince Zhu Cihong saw this scene, he was not surprised. He found out that the more he came into contact with Zhu Changwu, the more his heart became bigger. It was the third prince, Zhu Cijiong, but he was really frightened by the scene in front of him.
He didn't expect that someone would have such courage, isn't this just touching Long Yan, this is a big crime of disrespect. But how do you look at it, it seems that neither the father nor the queen mother are angry?
"It's valuable, why isn't it valuable, this dragon robe was worn by King Xin when he ascended the throne and became emperor, and it was woven and sewn by more than a hundred palace maids for seven days, and it was made of a lot of gold thread." Chongzhen was indeed not angry, he knew that Zhu Changwu did not understand these etiquettes, so naturally he did not mean to blame, on the contrary, he said with a conspicuous appearance.
"Well, great, if you wear this outfit on your body, it will bring more shock to the people and the army, and the effect will be better." Zhu Changwu said with a sigh on his face.
Chongzhen could feel it, when Zhu Changwu talked about this, he was really good for the Ming Dynasty, so he nodded, "It's hard to love Qing, okay, what am I going to do next?" ”
"Little Enzi, remove the screen, it's time for the people to see the face of heaven." Zhu Changwu then said this very arrogantly.
Hearing someone call himself a little enzi, Wang Chengen's face was full of anger, but he didn't even say anything about Long Live Lord, he could only endure it, so he beckoned some little eunuchs to run around and remove the screen.
There was a sudden movement on the viewing platform in the middle of the square, which made the eyes of the onlookers who were watching the excitement instantly attracted to it.
As the screen was removed little by little, a golden dragon robe slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
Yellow is the color admired by ancient people, and yellow is often regarded as a symbol of monarchy.
You see that there are people who wear other colors of clothes, but no one dares to try the yellow robe. Except, of course, those who want to rebel.
As soon as the yellow color appeared, it immediately caused a burst of gasping sounds, as the people of the Ming capital, they are well-informed, and many smart people have already expected something.
"The emperor, the emperor is also here!"
"It's really the emperor, oh my God, what did I see."
"Kneel down, the emperor is here, ah, and the queen, kneel, quick..."
In the already lively crowd of people, because the screen was completely opened, when the true faces of Chongzhen and Queen Zhou appeared in front of everyone, the sense of restlessness in the people suddenly increased, followed by the scene of one after another people leaning over the earth.
In this era when even officials and ordinary people have to kneel, the biggest boss emperor has appeared, and ordinary people have no reason not to kneel.
"It's really the emperor, he is here too?" In the crowd, Zhang Jinyan, who was wearing ordinary people's clothes, also saw Chongzhen and was immediately shocked.
Hearing that the army had won the battle, he came with a skeptical attitude, as the secretary of the military department, how could he not understand what kind of operation and sex his own army had. When I came to see who this was, I never thought that Chongzhen would come.
As soon as he thought of Chongzhen coming, Zhang Jinyan had an urge to escape. He must not let the emperor see him, otherwise, how to answer how to resist the enemy?
If he still asks himself to lead troops to defend the city, what will he do?
The demise of the Ming Dynasty was imminent, which was not only the thoughts of Zhang Jinyan, but also many courtiers at that time. In such a special period, it is naturally how far and how far it is from the Ming Imperial Power, how to get rid of the relationship, and who will make up for it?
Zhang Jinyan, who reacted very quickly, knelt down while trying to find a way to retreat outward. He's going to stay away from here, it's too dangerous here.
Some people retreat, and some people advance.
At this time, Zuo Jin Wang He Jin was moving forward with the three hundred old battalion men. They never expected that the Ming Emperor would appear here, on the square of the outer city.
If the emperor Lao'er stayed in the palace and faced such a big place, even if they could kill it, they didn't know how much time it would take just to find someone.
With that time, the emperor found a random place to hide, and it was difficult to find the main owner.
Now it's different, the emperor is actually in front of them, and they have just observed that there are not many Ming troops here.
There are only a thousand brocade guards on the periphery, but in the face of tens of thousands of Ming people, their strength is too scattered and not enough at all.
Looking at the emperor's side, there were only a few dozen forbidden soldiers in armor and more than two hundred small eunuchs. This bit of power would not have been placed in He Jin's eyes at all. This time, he brought three hundred old camp warriors.
That's the old camp, the existence of a top three or even a top five top ten.
That is, there is no war horse now, otherwise, He Jin is afraid that he would have given an order a long time ago and led people to rush over.
It doesn't matter if they don't have horses, they can go forward with their heads down, get close to the chaos, and then fight for a single blow.
The movement among the people did not attract anyone's attention. Whether it is Zhang Jinyan or He Jin, they all belong to a minority of the minority, compared to the Ming people, who have nearly 40,000 people, they are just a drop in the ocean, and they can't make any waves at all, and their actions will naturally not be investigated.
On the viewing platform, Chongzhen was receiving a tsunami-like salute from the people.
As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen rarely came out after almost entering the palace. Even if it is an occasional trip, it is the extremely strict protection of the forbidden army, and the streets are cleared early, when can you face so many people like this time.
Originally, it was thought that the Ming Dynasty was going to die, and the people should have lost confidence in their emperor. But now that he looks at it, Chongzhen knows that the people still recognize themselves and recognize themselves as emperors.
The history of the Ming Dynasty to the present 276 years, its powerful heritage is not something that can be wiped out.
Perhaps because of some government and man-made reasons, some people have opinions about the Ming Dynasty. However, compared with the Qing Dynasty built by Jiannu later, some of their actions were far more excessive than those of the Ming Dynasty.
This is also why in history, there have always been people who have been opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring sight.
They don't necessarily really want to restore the Ming Dynasty, they just want to take advantage of this. But even so, it is enough to prove and explain a lot of things. Daming is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not something that a cat or a dog can replace with a hard fist.
Chongzhen's heart was a little excited, even Queen Zhou on the side was also excited, and even tears flowed down at some point.
Women are far more sensual than men, and after seeing the people respect them so much, Queen Zhou's happiness comes from the bottom of her heart.
The little Enzi on the side also seemed to be moved at this time, and even shed "horse pee tears", and from time to time he reached out and wiped his eyes to wipe away the tears. That seems to be saying that the world is still long lived, and the current Ming Dynasty is still very powerful.
The crown prince Zhu Cihong was also very excited, even the third prince Zhu Zijiong was also clenched with his fists at this moment, and he seemed to feel the influence of power at this moment. At this moment, he couldn't help but start longing for power in his heart.
Zhu Changwu watched all this from the sidelines, and there was a little disdain in his heart.
What's the matter, you're crying and laughing.
I don't know, I thought that the world was peaceful again, the Ming Dynasty was already strong, and the people were safe.
Have you forgotten that in the south, an army of millions of Li Zicheng and several other bandit leaders is ready to pounce on the city of Beijing at any time?
To the north, Jiannu had already established the Qing Dynasty, and was he also looking at the capital with great eyesight?
Internally, there is no need to say what the Donglin Party is, because as early as when the thieves were about to attack the Beijing Division, they collectively closed their mouths, and then those who could escape fled, and those who could not escape simply waited at home to die, posing that as long as the Dashun army entered the city, they would immediately commit suicide to prove their loyalty.
But does such loyalty really work?
With this determination, it is better to scatter all your wealth and hire an army to fight against the thieves, even if you lose, at least you have worked hard, you have done it, and you have nothing to regret. It's far better than waiting to die at home.
In addition, there are some courtiers who fall when the wind comes, and for their future glory and wealth, they have long thought of various ways to contact the thieves. And like this, what they are most afraid of seeing now is Chongzhen.
Zhu Changwu analyzed the situation in front of him, thinking that he was here, otherwise, Daming would have ceased to exist yesterday. Even if it can be continued, it can only be regarded as an unorthodox Nanming, and it has not lasted long in history.
