"To be honest, I rarely leave the palace due to state affairs. I just want to see you. Just like you want to see me, it is very difficult."
Chongzhen made a joke first when he came up. Obviously this guy is also a master of public speaking and knows how to adjust the atmosphere.
Haha...hahaha...
Sure enough, bursts of good-natured laughter soon erupted below, and it was obvious that these words had the effect of bringing the relationship closer between them.
"I'm usually very busy. What are I busy with? National affairs."
"In normal times, my ministers always tell me that the Ming Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, and the people live a good life with plenty of food and clothing. I also believe that these ministers really do this for the world. But until now, I have seen you, I Only then did I realize that I was wrong and I was deceived by those ministers."
"His Majesty..."
Hearing that the emperor actually admitted his mistake in front of tens of thousands of people, the people here all looked frightened, and then groups of people began to kneel down involuntarily.
What is an emperor?
He is the son of God, and what he does in heaven, how can he be wrong?
Now that Chongzhen admitted his mistake on the spot, how could the people not be moved? One by one, they all knelt down. The situation is such that even those who don't want to kneel cannot stand at this moment. For example, He Jin.
At this moment, he was squeezing forward, and suddenly saw everyone starting to kneel down, so he could only lay his body on the ground, still cursing in his heart. He had never seen such an effort to assassinate a person. Wait, I will give the emperor a good look later.
"People, please get up. This has nothing to do with us. It's because I listened to the slander of my officials. I really thought you were living a good life. But I just took a look and found that many of you are still wearing rags. Presumably your life is not rich or rich."
As Chongzhen spoke, his eyes turned red. Looking in Zhu Changwu's eyes, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Fuck, this old boy Chongzhen is really capable, and he really has a way of stirring up emotions. More importantly, Yes, he can take it and put it down, he is willing to take the initiative to admit his mistakes, and he can still blame the ministers later, which is really a superb method."
In fact, in history, Chongzhen was indeed used to admitting his mistakes frequently. This can be seen from the fact that there are six times where the evidence can be verified for the crime edict alone.
"People, you are not living well, I feel very sad. But I have indeed been deceived by villains. Now that I know what kind of life you live, I also know how to change it. Don't worry, everyone, as long as I If you still support Ming Dynasty, then I will find a way to make everyone's life better. But the premise of everything is that Ming Dynasty is still there, and we must not let it be snatched away by others, then there will really be nothing left."
"Just like General Zhu said just now, the leader of the thieves Li Zicheng made a slogan of not paying for food. This is basically a lie. If he really wants my country, I can give it to him, but I just ask him to treat you well. A little, the tax can be collected a little less, the grain can be paid a little less. But they are not such people. As far as I know, wherever the thieves pass, there is a large-scale robbery. There are countless things like the separation of wives and children in the city, looting, burning and killing. How can I willingly hand over the country and you to such a person?"
"Your Majesty, we don't believe Li Chuang, we only believe in you and the Ming Dynasty."
When Chongzhen said this, the rhythmic people began to appear below, and shouts broke out.
"Yes, Daming is our home, and we don't allow anyone to destroy it."
"Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live the Emperor!"
After the first and second prepared voices sounded, the next shouts came from the people themselves. They were infected by the environment and took the initiative to say various slogans.
Hearing these shouts ruined Chongzhen Coke. From this point of view, Ming Dynasty can still be saved, it can be saved.
The foundation of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years was not in vain. More and more people are still accustomed to calling themselves Ming people. Now there are people who want to replace them. First of all, it is difficult to pass the psychological test. In addition, today I saw the emperor personally visiting the scene, treating them as his own with all his heart. It is not surprising that the people would have this attitude.
"Okay, okay, since everyone trusts the Ming Dynasty so much, I should strengthen myself, and I will lead everyone to strengthen the Ming Dynasty. Long live the Ming Dynasty!" Chongzhen, who was also affected, also shouted the slogan together, and then his eyes were still directed towards He glanced at Zhu Changwu who was standing nearby.
Chongzhen understood the principle that too much is too little. When things got here, the enthusiasm of the people was mobilized, and the previous expectations and goals were achieved. The next step was for him, the emperor, to retreat behind the scenes.
Otherwise, the emperor would always be on the front line, and over time there would be no sense of freshness and mystery, and things would not be fun.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Chongzhen really not knowing what to say. Now the Ming Dynasty is almost dead and cannot even guarantee its own safety. How can it protect its subjects?
If any brave people came to ask him now what his plan was to face millions of intruders outside the city, he would probably be numb in no time.
Zhu Changwu saw Chongzhen's hint, so he reached out to take the loudspeaker and started shouting loudly. "Fellows and fellow citizens, Your Majesty will return to the palace soon to hold a court meeting to discuss with ministers how to revive the Ming Dynasty. Today's military parade ends here. All generals, lead your troops to evacuate the square."
"Yes." Wu Linzheng and others received the order and began to line up and walk out of the square in an orderly manner.
The results of the military parade were very good, even somewhat beyond Zhu Changwu's expectations. This military parade cheered up almost everyone, stabilized the mood of the people in the capital, and improved the morale of the Ming army.
Zhu Changwu may also know that it is impossible to completely solve the problem with just one military parade, but it doesn't matter. As long as it is beneficial, you can do it slowly. If it doesn't work once, just do it twice. The situation will always get better and better.
"Your Majesty, please go back to the palace." Zhu Changwu saw that the three thousand people belonging to Wu Linzheng had exited the square, and turned to Chongzhen for instructions.
"No! I want to personally see our warriors leave. If they don't leave, I won't leave." Chongzhen waved his hand grandly. This guy is addicted to acting and wants to do the whole thing.
Chongzhen didn't want to leave now and wanted a perfect ending. Zhu Changwu didn't say much, so he could only wink at Wang Encheng, meaning to protect his majesty's safety. At the same time, his eyes began to scan around, he I know that there must be spies of bandits in the Ming Dynasty now. Maybe those people are staring at this place, but I just don't know if they have the courage to rush out now.
Anyway, if it were him, he would never give up such an opportunity. After all, if Chongzhen can be killed, the Ming Dynasty will be even worse, and it will be difficult to save.
Using himself to save others, Zhu Changwu's eyes began to sweep towards the crowd.
On the square, there are now more than 50,000 people gathered. This number is not only not decreasing, but increasing.
At first, the people in the capital didn't think there was anything good about the military parade. The Ming army's military parade was just like that, just to show off the situation. But when it was learned that the emperor had actually visited the scene in person and had spoken, people who had received the news began to come here one after another.
Even if you can't hear anything, it's good to be able to see Long Yan, and you can brag about it later.
Chongzhen did not leave, and neither did the people. Or it can be said that even if some people want to leave, as people from all directions gather, they will not be able to leave for a while.
There were so many people not far away. Even with Zhu Changwu's eyes, it was a little dazzling to see them. There were really too many people.
"The emperor is right there. We have to go over and worship him in person. Let's all rush forward together."
Just when Zhu Changwu had a bad feeling in his heart. If this went on, more and more people were afraid that something bad would happen. Suddenly, the crowd began to surge. Then two people were responsible for maintaining law and order. The Jin Yiwei felt someone pushing him, and then a huge mouth appeared. Many people suddenly came from here to watch, and rushed towards the viewing platform.
"Mustache, bring someone to stop them immediately." Zhu Changwu had quick eyes and quick hands. He noticed something was wrong immediately. When he saw Hu Yunfeng was about to lead the team out of the square, he shouted into the headphones next to him.
Not only Hu Yunfeng, but also Liang Jun also did not leave the square with their troops. Listening to the shouts, the two of them led nearly 6,000 Ming troops and rushed towards this direction quickly.
"Don't crowd, don't make chaos. All soldiers obey orders and build human walls to keep the people out. If there are those who don't listen to the advice..." Hu Yunfeng shouted loudly and looked up in the direction of his senior brother. Obviously asking for instructions on whether extreme measures can be taken against those who are disobedient.
Zhu Changwu heard this and frowned, but still did not make up his mind to kill. This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Although the system will give values as long as you kill people, you can't kill your own people because of this, otherwise what will happen to you.
"If they don't listen, let them come over." Zhu Changwu suddenly spoke and gave an order that Hu Yunfeng and Liang Jun did not expect at all.
But since it was the young master's wish, the two of them would naturally do their best to comply with it. They would build a human wall as much as possible to block the attack of the people. And if there were really people who rushed forward desperately, they simply let these people go and rushed to the viewing platform.
"General Zhu, isn't this good? I'm afraid that bad guys will be among the people. If they rush over, long live the Lord's safety..." Wang Cheng'en was very confused when he heard that Zhu Changwu had given such an order, and hurriedly went up Give reminders for the first two steps.
