Chapter 1: Enthronement
The fire burned until the next day, when it gradually subsided.
Zhu Di looked at the ruins with a sad face, and was silent for a long time, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and others around him knew that he was pretending, but they had to pretend to persuade him to mourn.
"Alas......!" Zhu Di sighed lightly and instructed: "Be sure to find the corpses, so that my nephew can be at peace under Jiuquan." β
Dead are dead, Zhu Di will not care anymore, no matter what, Zhu Yunwen has been an emperor, and it is politically correct and politically necessary to bury him.
"Yes, Your Highness." Qiu Fu should have given his hand.
Zhu Di sighed and said, "Zhu Neng, the Marquis of Changxing and the Marquis of Wuding have all set off, right?" β
"Well, I left last night." Zhu Neng replied, "It is estimated that we will all arrive in Zhenjiang at this time, and Cao Guogong will also set off, and I will definitely be able to call back the obsessed Ping'an, Shengyong and others." β
When Zhu Di heard this, he completely put his mind at ease, looked at the huge palace, and his emotions gradually stirred.
But he hadn't been excited long before he heard news that shocked him.
Jianwen is gone.
Not dead, but gone.
More precisely, missing.
Zhu Di looked sluggish, and then said a little frustratedly: "Looking for him, you must find him, and you must find him if you dig three feet into the ground." β
Now, he was really panicked.
It's all rebelled, and he naturally doesn't mind being charged with forcing his nephew to death again, but now that there are no people, it makes him very uncomfortable.
If he ascends the throne here, and Zhu Yunwen comes to be the king of the world, then it will be a lot of fun.
Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said, "You must find him!" β
"Your Highness think twice!" Dao Yan hurriedly said, "The top priority is to announce to the world that Jianwen is dead, otherwise, there will be no more half-hearted people." β
He persuaded, "It doesn't matter whether Jianwen is dead or not, the important thing is that the court announces that he is dead, even if he jumps out one day, the world will not believe it." β
Zhu Di's face was abrupt, and finally nodded helplessly, "Zhu Neng, immediately find a confidant, check all the people who went out of the city yesterday and today, don't say it's looking for Jianwen." β
"Humble duty understands."
Zhu Neng hurriedly clenched his fists and hurriedly went.
"Master, do you think it's possible that Jianwen was burned to ashes?" Zhu Di asked.
"It must be so." Dao Yan gave him an answer he wanted to hear.
Zhu Di nodded bitterly, but his heart was up and down.
After all, this throne was not obtained above board, he was weak-hearted, and he was very weak.
Seeing this, Dao Yan comforted: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry about this, you still have a lot to do, ascend the throne as soon as possible, give an explanation to this Jingnan, and then, reward the heroes of Jingnan to stabilize the situation;
When the overall situation has been decided, even if Jianwen comes back from the dead, it will not help! β
"That's what the master said." Zhu Di slowly calmed down and said loudly: "Someone!" β
"The last general!" Zheng Heng stepped forward and said respectfully, "What does Your Highness command?" β
"Go, get Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng back." Zhu Di said murderously.
"Yes!" Zheng Heng arched his hand and asked, "What about Ping'an and Shengyong?" β
Dao Yan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it's better not to move them, first, it can show His Highness's generosity, and second, they all have military power in their hands, in case they ......"
Zhu Di nodded slowly and said: "They are also ordered to do things, and according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they are public crimes, and public crimes will not be prosecuted." β
After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said: "Catch that Tie Xuan back, he dares to hang the spirit card of Emperor Taizu without permission, and this king can't spare him." β
Dao Yan opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything, he understood that one or two heavyweights had to die to suppress those loyal courtiers.
After Zheng Heng was ordered to leave, Zhu Di called Sanbao again and asked him to go to the harem to find Zhu Yunwen's mother, the current queen mother.
Then, he asked people to go to Peking and pick up the family.
After arranging everything, Zhu Di got up and said, "Master, go with this king." β
Dao Yan nodded and asked with a smile, "But go to the Yongqing Marquis Mansion?" β
Zhu Di also smiled and said softly: "He has helped this king a lot." β
β¦β¦
Yongqing Marquis Mansion.
Li Qing sat in front of the bronze mirror, Wanling combed his hair, red sleeves and incense painted him makeup, quiet and peaceful.
"Sir, you have to learn to draw too, and you will use it later." Red Sleeves put down the paintbrush and said softly, "Concubines can't stay with you forever. β
Li Qing looked in the mirror and chuckled: "Don't talk about this, there should be a visitor today, Wanling go and open the door!" β
"yes, okay."
The door opened, the sun shone in, and Li Qing only felt that everything was so beautiful.
It's a brand new day!
He didn't have the habit of getting up early, it was already mid-noon at this time, and it was too late for breakfast, Li Qing only drank a cup of tea and sat under the fruit tree waiting for the visitors.
He didn't wait too long, only two quarters of an hour, and the maid hurriedly came to report: "Master, King Yan is here!" β
Li Qing nodded, got up and came to the front yard, and when he saw that Dao Yan was also there, he sighed in his heart.
"Let's go to the guest hall!"
"Hmm." Zhu Di smiled and nodded, "The guest is as good as he wants." β
The three of them came to the guest hall, and the next person brought hot tea, and then left with fun.
Zhu Di took the lead in speaking: "Li Jinglong has already told me, if it weren't for your ...... this time."
"Without me, Your Highness would have succeeded." Li Qing said with a smile.
Zhu Di smiled, "No matter what, this king wants to reward you, and reward you heavily;
Say, what do you want?
This king will not allow anything! β
The current Zhu Di is qualified to say this, although he has not officially ascended the throne, but the overall situation has been decided.
Li Qing thought for a while, "I hope that His Royal Highness can kill less and kill carefully, even if he wants to kill, it will not hurt his family." β
Zhu Di pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed: "Okay, my words count, even if it is Qi Fanghuang and the three of them, as long as they are interesting, I will never implicate their families;
But if they don't come to their senses, they can't blame me. β
"Your Highness is humble and open." Li Qing praised from the bottom of his heart.
He knew that Zhu Di was definitely going to kill someone, and it was the limit to be able to do this job.
After being in the temple for so long, Li Qing has long lost his original innocence.
Zhu Di smiled and groaned, "This doesn't count, what else do you want?" β
"It's gone." Li Qing shook his head.
The most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the situation first, and to administer or something, at least until next year, there is no point in saying it now.
"That's not going to work." Zhu Di smiled, "If you say anything, you have to be crowned, and you can decide for yourself." β
After a pause, "This king knows that you are a person with real skills, and I hope you can help this king and make Daming prosperous!" β
"The food of the king is worried about the king, if Your Highness doesn't say it, I will also do my duty." Li Qing took a sip of tea, "But fame and fortune, I don't care, if you talk about the heroes of Jingjing, who is the master?" β
"Yongqing Hou is polite." Dao Yan said modestly, "Speaking of which, the poor monk still has to thank Yongqing Hou for not killing." β
"You two ......," Zhu Di said in surprise, "When did you tie the knot?" β
Dao Yan smiled: "We have no grievances, the so-called Liangzi is all because of His Highness." β
"Because of this king?" Zhu Di wondered, "Why?" β
Dao Yan didn't explain, and sighed lightly, "The poor monk has been cultivating Buddha for decades, not as good as Yongqing Hou!" β
He knew the ins and outs of the matter best, and now that he thought about it, he completely understood why Li Qinghui was like that in the first place.
Zhu Di was confused, but he was not in the mood to understand these things that had nothing to do with the overall situation now, so he raised his glass and said, "No matter what unpleasant you had before, after drinking this cup of tea, it will all disappear." β
Two people raise a glass and three people drink together.
After drinking tea, Zhu Di smiled and groaned, "Old monk, what do you want?" β
In the blink of an eye, the master became an old monk...... Dao Yan scolded and said with a wry smile: "The poor monks are all at this age, what is the use of glory and wealth, I just want the green lantern ancient Buddha to live this last life." β
Don't reward one or two, which makes Zhu Di very faceless.
If it was someone else, Zhu Di would only think that he was faking Qinggao, but he knew the two people in front of him and knew that they really didn't care.
Dao Yan pursues to use what he has learned in his chest, and Li Qing is for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di suddenly felt that these two people were so high.
Damn, a monk, a Taoist priest, actually compared this king...... Zhu Di didn't have a good breath and said, "Is this king an ungrateful person?"
The king will reward those who deserve it, but you two also have to do your best, and no one wants to be lazy. β
The three of them chatted for a long time, and it was not until late evening that they broke up.
β¦β¦
The next day, early in the morning.
Early in the morning, Li Qing came to Fengtiandian Square.
The ministers knelt on the ground and united to beg Zhu Di to ascend the throne and become emperor.
Ru Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was crying and kept shouting: "The country cannot be without a monarch for a day...... β
Brave and loyal, touching the heavens and the earth!
But Zhu Di insisted on refusing, and tried his best to say: "This king is only on the side of the Jingguo and Qing monarchs, and he is definitely not here to be the emperor." β
The ministers persuaded again, and Zhu Di refuted again.
If this is the third, Zhu Di looked entangled, and finally couldn't shirk it, so he had to sigh: "That's it, please let the queen decide!" β
Soon, Sanbao invited Zhu Yunwen's mother-in-law, the Lu family.
Zhu Di said sadly: "Sister-in-law, my hard-working nephew's ears are too soft, and he is being used by others, listening to the slanderous words of the ministers around him, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, and stirring up chaos in the future;
Younger brother, I sent troops to King Qin for the sake of our old Zhu family's Daming country, but I didn't expect it...... Alas!
My eldest nephew was too stupid and naΓ―ve to understand my good intentions as an uncle. It's a pity that I can't save him......"
Hanlin edited Yang Rong, immediately took out the pen and paper, shook his head and remembered: "Above, I saw the smoke in the palace, and the envoy was sent to help, but it was too late;
cried and said: Sure enough, if you are crazy? I came to help you do good, but you didn't forgive, and you came to this point? β
The title has changed from 'Yan' to 'Shang', and the intention is self-evident.
Lu Shi forced a smile: "Uncle turned the tide, he is a loyal minister of the country, Jianwen does not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, causing chaos in the country and ruining lives, but... The deceased is gone;
The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and I hope that my uncle will not be invited by the ministers to carry the Ming Dynasty. β
"Sister-in-law, how can you ......" Zhu Di looked helpless, "My brother never thought about ......"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Ru Yu pulled her neck and shouted, her muscles bursting out.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......!" The ministers should be reconciled.
"You ...... Alas! Zhu Di looked helpless and sighed: "That's it, my nephew is young, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's country, this king has to temporarily serve as a prisoner." β
The ministers shouted: "The emperor is sage! β
Ru Yu immediately took out the edict on enthronement written last night by lighting the lamp and boiling oil, and read it out impassionedly......
