"Oh... these clothes are a style that people from all over the world like to wear. I also think they look good, so I brought a few sets." Zhu Changwu replied with a smile, and threw the blame away as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I see." Queen Zhou knew about Zhu Changwu's return from the sea, so she nodded as if she understood. Later, he did not forget to tell his daughter, Princess Changping, that the style of this dress was indeed beautiful.
Changping Princess Zhu Hui'ao lowered her head slightly, and would echo from time to time. Then she looked at Zhu Changwu with her peripheral vision. Seeing that his eyes were not looking this way, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Chongzhen, who had some ink stains, finally changed into his dragon robe.
It is said that a man relies on his clothes and his horse relies on his saddle. Chongzhen, who was originally a handsome guy, changed into a golden dragon robe and his whole person instantly became taller. A sense of majesty and domineering was involuntarily reflected in his body.
"Yes, very handsome." Zhu Changwu saw Chongzhen changing into formal clothes and couldn't help but step forward and touch the dragon robe.
"It's very good. The material of the clothes is also very good. It should be very valuable." After touching it, Zhu Changwu took a step back and asked curiously.
Wang Chengen stared at this scene with wide eyes. When he was about to say the word "bold", he didn't know that he had already stepped back, so he could only hold the words in his stomach. It was really uncomfortable.
When the crown prince Zhu Cixi saw this scene, he was not surprised. He discovered that the more he came into contact with Zhu Changwu, the more his heart grew bigger. The third prince Zhu Cijiong, on the other hand, was really frightened by the scene before him.
He didn't expect that someone would be so bold. This was touching Long Yan, which was a crime of great disrespect. But no matter how you look at it, it seems that neither the emperor nor the queen are angry?
"It's valuable, why isn't it? This dragon robe was worn by King Xin when I ascended the throne and became emperor. It was made by more than a hundred palace maids who woven and sewn it for seven days and used a lot of gold thread." Chongzhen indeed did not have it. Angry, he knew that Zhu Changwu didn't understand these etiquette, so naturally he didn't mean to blame him, on the contrary, he said it in a showy way.
"Well, that's great. Wearing this outfit will have a greater impact on the people and the army, and the effect will be better." Zhu Changwu said with a sigh on his face.
Chongzhen could feel that when Zhu Changwu talked about this, he was sincerely doing good for the Ming Dynasty, so he nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, okay, what should I do next?"
"Little Enzi, it's time to remove the screen and let the people see the beauty of the sky." Zhu Changwu then said this very proudly.
Hearing someone call him his little benefactor again, Wang Chengen's face was full of anger, but even Long Live Lord didn't say anything, so he could only endure it, and then waved some young eunuchs to run around and remove the screen.
There was sudden movement on the viewing platform in the middle of the square, which attracted the eyes of the people watching the excitement.
As the screen was removed bit by bit, a golden dragon robe slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
Yellow is a color advocated by ancient people. Yellow is often regarded as a symbol of monarchy.
You see, some people wear clothes of other colors, but no one dares to try yellow robes. Of course, except those who want to rebel.
As soon as the yellow color appeared, it immediately caused a gasp. As the people of the Ming Dynasty, they were well-informed, and many smart people had already predicted something.
"Emperor, the emperor is here too!"
"It's really the emperor. Oh my god, what did I see?"
"Kneel down quickly, the emperor is here, and there is also the queen, kneel down quickly, quickly..."
In the already lively crowd of common people, after the screen was completely opened, when the true faces of Chongzhen and Queen Zhou appeared in front of everyone, the excitement among the common people suddenly increased, followed by one after another. The scene of people bowing to the earth.
In this era where even ordinary people have to kneel down when meeting officials, the biggest BOSS emperor has appeared. How can ordinary people not kneel down?
"You are really the emperor, he is here too?" Among the crowd, Zhang Jinyan, who was wearing common people's clothes, also saw Chongzhen and was immediately shocked.
Hearing that the Ming army had won the battle, he came here with skepticism. As Minister of War, how could he not understand the conduct of his own army? When I came here just to see who caused this evil moth, I never thought that Chongzhen would also come.
When he thought of Chongzhen's arrival, Zhang Jinyan had the urge to escape. He must not let the emperor see him. Otherwise, how should he answer the question of how to defend himself against the enemy?
What would he do if he was still asked to lead troops to defend the city?
The demise of the Ming Dynasty was imminent. This was not only the thought of Zhang Jinyan, but also of many courtiers at the time. In such a special period, it is natural to be as far away from the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty as possible. How to separate the relationship? Who will get together again?
Zhang Jinyan, who reacted very quickly, knelt down and tried to find a way to retreat outward. He needs to stay away from here, it's too dangerous.
Some people retreat and some enter.
At this time, King Zuo Jin, He Jin, was moving forward with his three hundred old battalion men taking advantage of every opportunity. They never expected that the Ming Emperor would appear here, in the square of the outer city.
If the emperor were to stay in the palace and face such a big place, even if they could get in, they would not know how much time it would take just to find someone.
With that time, the emperor found a place to hide, and it was difficult to find the real owner.
It was different now. The emperor was actually in front of them, and they had just observed that there were not many Ming troops here.
There are only a thousand Jinyi guards in the periphery, but facing tens of thousands of Ming people, their power is too scattered and simply not enough.
Looking at the emperor, there were only dozens of armored guards and more than two hundred young eunuchs. This power is not in He Jin's eyes at all. This time he brought three hundred warriors from the old camp.
That was the old camp, with one hat being three or even one hat being five and ten being there.
That is to say, there are no war horses now. Otherwise, He Jin might have given the order and led his men to rush over.
It doesn't matter if they don't have horses, they can just keep their heads down and move forward, take advantage of the chaos to get close, and then try to kill them with one blow.
The movement among the people did not attract anyone's attention. Whether it is Zhang Jinyan or He Jin, they are both a minority among the minority. Compared with the nearly 40,000 people of the Ming Dynasty, they are just a drop in the ocean. They cannot make any trouble at all, and their actions will naturally not be criticized. Checked.
On the viewing platform, Chongzhen was accepting the salute of the people like a roaring tsunami.
As the Ming Emperor, Chongzhen rarely came out after entering the palace. Even if it is an occasional trip, it is extremely strictly protected by the Forbidden Army. The streets have been cleared early. When can I face so many people like this time.
I originally thought that the Ming Dynasty was going to die, and the people would also lose confidence in their emperor. But now that he saw it, Chongzhen realized that the people still recognized him and the emperor.
The Ming Dynasty has a history of 276 years, and its strong heritage cannot be erased simply by erasing it.
Perhaps due to certain government and man-made reasons, some people had opinions about the Ming Dynasty. But compared to the Qing Dynasty founded by slaves, some of their actions were far more excessive than those of the Ming Dynasty.
This is why throughout history, there have always been people fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.
They may not really want to restore the Ming Dynasty, they just want to use this trick. But even so, it is enough to prove and explain a lot of things. Daming Morning is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it cannot be replaced by some cats and dogs relying on fists.
Chongzhen was a little excited in his heart, and even Queen Zhou beside him was also excited, and even shed tears without knowing when.
Women are far more emotional than men. After seeing the people respect them so much, Queen Zhou was happy from the bottom of her heart.
Xiao Enzi on the side also seemed to be touched at this time, and even shed "horse urine tears". From time to time, he reached out and wiped his eyes to wipe away the tears. That seems to be saying that the world still belongs to the Lord, and the Ming Dynasty is still very powerful.
Crown Prince Zhu Cixiang was also very excited. Even the third prince Zhu Zijiong clenched his fists at this moment. He seemed to feel the influence of power on him at this moment. At this moment, he couldn't help but long for power in his heart.
Zhu Changwu watched all this with some contempt in his heart.
Why are you crying and laughing at the same time?
For those who don’t know, they think that the world is now peaceful again, that the Ming Dynasty is already strong and the people are peaceful.
Have you forgotten that Li Zicheng and several other bandit leaders' millions of troops in the south are ready to attack Beijing at any time?
In the north, Jiannu had established the Qing Dynasty, and was he also looking at the capital with eager eyes?
Internally, there is no need to talk about the Donglin Party, because as early as when the intruders were about to attack the capital, they collectively shut their mouths, and then those who could escape fled, and those who could not simply stayed at home and waited to die. They made it appear that as long as the Dashun army entered the city, they would immediately commit suicide to prove their loyalty.
Is this kind of loyalty really useful?
If you have this determination, you might as well spend all your wealth and hire an army to fight against the intruders. Even if you lose, at least you tried hard. Once you have done it, there is nothing to regret. This is far better than waiting to die at home.
In addition, there are some courtiers who fall at the slightest chance. For the sake of their own future glory and wealth, they have long thought of various ways to contact the intruders. And for young men 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, Ming Dynasty would cease to exist yesterday. Even if it can be continued, it can only be regarded as an unorthodox Nanming, and it did not last long in history.
