Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The dim city of Beijing gradually became quiet.  Although many people in the city hope to hang up firecrackers to celebrate these days, the Ming troops patrolling under martial law daunt them.  After more than ten years of experience, the most unruly people in this city have learned to be well-behaved, and the most bloody people have learned to be fearful.  Twelve red lanterns were hung on the door of the mansion, and there were more than a dozen soldiers standing on both sides of the door.  Meng Kang walked in the door laughing and said: "General Zuo is treating us. Although we can't drink, it is a happy thing to get together with everyone." In the dark street dozens of steps away, Fenqin stopped and looked at the swaying people.  lantern in a daze.  Zong Mao chuckled and said, "Let's go. You and I are brothers-in-law, and we are actually brothers. I won't lie to you as an elder brother." "What do you want?" Feng Qin hesitated.  Zong Mao patted him on the shoulder with his right hand: "Of course we will do it to the end. Does the number one hero of the Northern Expedition still want to kneel down to the emperor who is imprisoned in the cold palace of Nanjing City?" Feng Qin's footsteps still did not move and said:  "It is a grave sin for generals in the army to assemble without orders." He maintained his inherent rigidity.  "Today is an exception." Zong Mao slightly pushed the thin body under his palm and said, "Think about it, everyone has gone to such a big event, and you are the only one missing. What will the prince think?" Feng Qin finally moved forward.  Take a step.  The two of them were the last to arrive. The courtyard was full of people, and the generals¡¯ personal soldiers were all left outside the door.  Zongmao walked into the middle courtyard, raised his hands, and shouted: "Everyone is here." The people who spoke closed their mouths, everyone looked at him, and half of the people had wariness and indifference in their eyes.  Many people are not familiar with this Lord Shangshu, but no one can refuse what he wants to do.  "We drove away the Tatars," Zongmao shouted, and then he lowered his head, "Those who have not followed the prince on the grassland don't know how long the prince has been fighting for today." He finished this sentence in a low voice, and then  He resumed his passionate tone: "This world no longer belongs to the Zhu family, this is the world of the prince, the world that the prince led you to conquer." There was no sound in the yard, and the light and shadow formed a quiet picture.  "Tonight, please join me in asking the prince to sit where he should be." Zuo Ruo stood up, looked around, and asked, "Does any of you disagree?" Who dares to disagree?  Xiao Zhiyan lowered his head and played with the teacup in his hand.  Li Laiheng was the first to stand up: "I respectfully invite the regent to ascend the throne." The second was Meng Kang. Li Dingguo hesitated for a moment and also stood up.  When everyone in the room stood up, only Xiao Zhiyan was still sitting there.  Zuo Ruo deliberately turned his back towards him.  Zong Mao called with a gentle voice: "General Xiao" "The old era will eventually pass." Xiao Zhiyan put down his wine glass and stood up.  Zuo Ruo breathed a sigh of relief.  Munemao clapped his hands, and a burly soldier came over holding a crimson wooden tray with a piece of clothing neatly stacked on it.  He reached out and took off the piece of clothing and shook it, and the precious light shone under the candlelight.  Nine flying dragons were flying on the yellow robe, as if they were about to take off their robes and fly away.  "General Zuo has specially ordered people to make the dragon robe. Please come with me." He put away the dragon robe, held up the wooden plate with both hands, Zuo Ruo walked to him, and they walked side by side towards the door.  The generals in the courtyard followed silently, and the city defense soldiers held torches to escort them along the way.  No one spoke a word along the way, and these men who had made great contributions to the founding of the country on the battlefield walked silently in the silent streets.  It takes more than half an hour to walk from Zuo Ruo's residence to Prince Jian's residence, but no one will feel tired, and their hearts will almost jump out of their chests.  The torches lit up the streets along the way, like a fire dragon swimming slowly in the quiet city of Beijing.  Prince Jian¡¯s Mansion is right in front.  Noisy shouts came from the dark streets on both sides: "Who is coming?" Bao Guang flashed out of the street and looked at the generals in confusion: "Zong Shangshu, General Zuo? What are you doing?" Zong Mao Gaotuo  Mupan said: "I respectfully invite the regent to ascend the throne." Bao Guang's heart skipped a beat and he opened his mouth. It took him a long time to recover. He cupped his hands and said, "Please wait here for Zong Shangshu and all the generals. The general will go in first to report."  "Then he flew away.  The guards around Prince Jian's mansion all came out. They are the most loyal guards of the regent. Without Zhai Zhe's order, no one is allowed to approach the mansion.  In the inner palace, Zhai Zhe is reading a book.  In the book "Jin Ping Mei", benevolent people see their benevolence, and immoral people see their lewdness.  There was the sound of "thump thump thump" footsteps outside. He frowned slightly and lit the candle. Fang Jin shouldn't be so flustered.  "Prince" Fang Jin knelt down through the window, "The generals are here, they are outside the mansion." Zhai Zhe's heart sank and he shouted sternly.He said: "Which generals are here so late?" Fang Jin's voice trembled with excitement: "All the generals and generals are here. The prince will know it as soon as he leaves the house." "What's the matter?"  Zhai Zhe threw down the book. He couldn't tolerate Fang Jin's hesitant speech.  Fang Jin gritted his teeth and said: "Zong Shangshu and the generals would like to respectfully invite the prince to ascend the throne." There was no sound in the room for a long time. Zhai Zhe didn't know how he felt.  "Emperor?" Whether he wants it or not, this is a fate he cannot escape.  The generals were afraid, and so was Zongmao.  Are they not afraid that they will kill them one by one like Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, or are they afraid of becoming slaves of civil servants like they did in the Chongzhen period?  No matter what, they would never kneel in front of the emperor in Nanjing again.  Zhai Zhe walked out of the house and walked to the door of the palace.  Zongmao held up the red lacquered wooden plate holding the dragon robe and touched his knees to the ground.  The generals and soldiers followed and knelt together.  "Long live my emperor, long live, long live" "Can this get rid of fear? The scholars in the south of the Yangtze River or the literati in front of you must at least make one of them feel at ease." Zhai Zhe slowly raised his hands.  "Would it be more stable if Emperor Longwu abdicated?" He saw Zong Mao's bright eyes and the expectant looks of Zuo Ruo, Li Laiheng, Li Dingguo and Meng Kang.  "At least during my lifetime, these powerful soldiers will not become a threat to the empire." He raised his hands above his head: "Everyone is safe" "Long live my emperor, long live, long live" "Long live my emperor, long live, long live"  "Long live my emperor, long live, long live" the voice was like burning fire.  Fang Jin quickly stepped forward knowingly, took the wooden plate from Zong Mao, and put a golden dragon robe on Zhai Zhe.  Maybe there are too many gems inlaid on it, so it's a bit heavy.  "My empire will be glorious because of you." Zhai Zhe walked back to the house wearing a dragon robe. He was destined to have no sleep tonight.
