In 946 AD, on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Zhaojiajuan, who had traveled from Liangzhou for more than two months, finally arrived at Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo under the escort of 10,000 horsemen.
Just like when Zhang Zhao entered the city, the two queen mothers, queens, wives and children also entered the city from Xinzheng Gate in the west.
Zhang Zhao, who had been staying in Daning Palace and rarely appeared in the public eye, also held a full-service guard of honor and went to greet him two miles outside Xinzheng Gate.
The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Fengtian, and the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Fengsheng, were so excited that they could not speak as they looked at the relatively towering Tokyo city wall, as well as the tens of thousands of soldiers and the huge crowds of Tokyo people around them.
Seeing their arrival, the 20,000 soldiers, especially the soldiers who belonged to the original rebel army, cheered louder and louder.
Only after Zhang Zhao's family papers arrived, did the soldiers feel at ease, because this meant that Zhang Zhao would certainly not retreat again.
Outside Xinzheng Gate, Zhang Zhao paid homage to his two mothers with great ceremony. The two mothers helped Zhang Zhao up with tears in their eyes, and staged a picture of a loving mother and a filial son in front of everyone.
However, when returning to the city, Zhang Dasheng's carriage was blocked by someone.
Don't panic! There was no danger, but headed by Zhang Xichong, He Ning, Feng Dao, Guo Tiance, Liu Tao, Fan Zhi, Xue Juzheng and other civil servants blocked the carriage.
Among them, Zhang Xichong kowtowed three times in front of the carriage and shouted loudly: "Since ancient times, the person who enters the Central Plains has been the emperor. The Shi family has lost its country, Jin Zuo has been destroyed, and the emperor personally raised the benevolent and righteous troops to expel the northern barbarians from the Central Plains and relieve the insecurity of all the people. Such great benevolence and righteousness , his contribution is extremely great, enough to carry the world's popularity.
I also watched the sky at night and saw the Ziwei Emperor Star shining brightly, located in the northwest, which is in line with the intention of our Lord coming from Liangzhou. I invite the emperor to obey the heaven and ascend to the throne of the emperor! "
After Zhang Xichong finished speaking, all the civil servants knelt down and shouted, "Please ask King Zhou to ascend the throne!" '
It turns out that they are here to persuade people to join, and it is not all arranged, because since ancient times, the merit of supporting the establishment has been the most important achievement in the world, so naturally someone will come out to persuade people to join.
What a scene! Zhang Zhao had already done this once when he ascended the throne of Chang'an as Shangshu Ling and opened Tiance Mansion as King Yong. Therefore, Zhang Dasheng could be said to be familiar with the road.
Ascending the throne of the emperor and founding a country, making three concessions and three concessions is a necessary procedure. Only in this way will it appear that you are not doing it for power, but because you are really forced to do it for the sake of genius and the common people.
So Zhang Zhao did not get up on the carriage, but directly asked Zhang Liecheng, who was in charge of the escort, to step forward and speak to the civil servants.
"The Emperor asked me to tell all my ministers that I came to Tokyo to punish the people and save the common people, not for the wealth of my family. Please leave as soon as possible and don't damage my Lord's noble character."
After saying that, Zhang Liecheng commanded the soldiers of Hanshandu and 'dragged' a group of civil servants to the side. The civil servants also started to cry and struggle one by one. The movie king was possessed by each person, and they seemed to be crying fiercely, but All very measured.
It's just that the people of Tokyo have gone through several disasters, and before Shi Jin, Kaifeng was not the capital, so they are no longer very familiar with this.
Seeing the civil servants coming to persuade them to join, they only thought this suggestion was good. When they saw Han Shandu come to drag people away, they were even more surprised why the saint didn't agree?
With the idea that Zhang Zhao would be a good emperor and the hope that Zhang Zhao would change his mind, the people followed the honor guard and ran into the city.
After walking for a while, after passing Youguo Temple and immediately entering the inner city, the carriage was blocked again.
This time came the commander-in-chief of the Later Jin Dynasty in military attache uniforms, headed by An Shenqi, followed by Zhao Hui, Li Jianchong, An Shuqian, Fu Yanqing, Gao Xingzhou, Yao Yuanfu, Wang Zhou, Xue Huairang, Wu A general who behaves virtuously.
After a group of people stopped the carriage, headed by An Shenqi, they stepped forward and said: "In today's world, the artifacts are vacant and belong to virtuous people. The King of Zhou has the merit of expelling the northern barbarians and stabilizing the country. Please be the emperor." Position, with the hearts of the whole world."
This was the second time to persuade him to come in. This time Zhang Zhao came over directly. He looked at An Shenqi and said loudly.
"You are ministers of the Shi family. The Lord of Jin is still in Liaodong. Why do you come to persuade me to advance? Get away quickly!"
An Shenqi looked at Zhang Zhao and replied loudly: "We, the Shishi clan, have already repaid our salary in the three battles in Qicheng and the bloody battle in Yangcheng.
On the contrary, the Shi emperor did not practice virtue or implement benevolent government, and appointed Du Chongwei, Feng Yu and other treacherous people to corrupt the state affairs.
The Lord of Jin was so noble that he made his widowed aunt his queen and ruined human relations. How could he be the emperor again?
The king of Zhou replaced the unruly with the Dao, and also had the great achievement of expelling the northern barbarians. Replacing the Shi family was just a natural move! "
After Zhang Zhao heard this, he immediately shook his head on the carriage like a rattle.
"Inappropriate! Inappropriate! Although the Lord of Jin has made mistakes, it will not bring down the country. What we have to do now is to welcome back the Shi family and wash away the humiliation of the Central Plains athletes like us."
As soon as Zhang Zhao finished speaking, the surrounding Tokyo people who didn't know the procedure thought hard.
They really couldn't figure out how Shi Jingtang, who betrayed his country and sought glory, and Shi Chonggui, who made his aunt the queen, would not overthrow their family and country?
Moreover, compared to the King of Zhou, the Shi family and his son were so different!
If the Emperor of Tokyo changes from King Zhou back to the Shi family, will they still be able to live a good life?
Maybe one day the Khitan or the Tang Kingdom in the south or the Shu Kingdom in the west will come again.
The frightened people in Tokyo really thought that Zhang Zhao was refusing. They hurriedly knelt down with the surrounding generals of the Later Jin Dynasty, and begged on both sides of the road.
"Get off! Get off! Are you here just for the throne?"
As soon as Zhang Zhao saw the formation, he immediately shouted to get up, and the generals of the Later Jin Dynasty who were kneeling in the middle of the road were easily pulled away by Zhang Zhao's guards.
The carriage continued to move forward, and soon came to the Suzaku Gate in the inner city. This is the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo. After entering this gate, strictly speaking, it belongs to the forbidden palace.
Of course, it was no surprise that Zhang Zhao's bike frame was immediately blocked when it arrived. This time, it was all his own people who blocked Zhang Zhao.
Yan Jin, Bai Congxin, Ma Yaozi, Fan Quan, Ma Shacai, Cao Yanming, Man Xiong, Dunzhu, etc. of the Yuan Cong faction.
In addition to Zhang Liecheng, there are six eldest sons of Zhang Shengren, Murong Nobunaga, Li Cunhui, Zhe Deyuan, Zhao Kuangzan, Li Congyi and Yang Jiye.
Guo Guangsheng, Hu Guang, Zhao Cunyi, Xue Shouli, Li Sanlang, Lu Sanlang and others from the Donggui faction.
There were also Lianglan Liugu sect Zhebu Jiashi, Shen Nianban, Du Lunchixin, Wen Chongle, Yue Saonu, etc. who were brought back to the Han family by Zhang Zhao.
They all blocked the carriage together.
Yan Jin, wearing a Wu Bian crown, took a step forward and said to Zhang Zhao: "As the world changes, the artifact becomes easier, and it has its own destiny.
Since the decline of the great dynasty, countless people have proclaimed themselves emperors and kings. However, there has never been a man who won the hearts of the people with his benevolent policies like our lord. If the king does not succeed to the throne, how can the people of the world be at peace? "
Zhang Zhao was about to stand up at this time. The guards around him moved the Huang Luo Gai Umbrella away a little. Zhang Zhao stood high on the carriage frame and looked at Yan Jin reproachfully.
"We, the people in the borderlands, have been loyal ministers who guarded the border for our country for hundreds of years. It is our duty to expel the northern invaders. How dare we take credit for this? How can we even make false claims about a magical weapon?"
Hearing this, Li Congyi stood up and said, "Sacred weapons belong to virtuous people. After the decline of the great dynasty, my father Mingmiao and my uncle Zhuangmiao wanted to inherit the sacred weapons and revive the great dynasty. However, their efforts failed before the time came."
Now the Ziwei Emperor star rises in the northwest. This sky is for the great Zhou Dynasty. You should take it! "
Well, when it comes to artifacts, no one is more qualified than Li Congyi.
All the direct descendants of the royal family of his great dynasty said this. The civil servants and military commanders of the later Jin Dynasty who had tried to persuade him to come in the first two times immediately knelt down again and began to persuade him to come in like a tsunami.
At this moment, thousands of people from Tokyo followed, and they crowded in and blocked the door of Suzaku Gate.
Hearing that he was urging people to come in again, the people immediately shouted and gathered together. They had all received Zhang Zhao's favor and felt that he was a good king who truly sympathized with the people.
For a time, "Please ask the king of Zhou to take the throne as emperor!" Please ask the king of Zhou to take the throne as emperor! 'The cry sounded again.
Among them, Wang Silang and Zhou Donzi shouted with tears streaming down their faces and their voices hoarse at the top of their lungs.
Zhang Zhao looked embarrassed and seemed to want to refuse.
At this time, in the carriage behind the emperor's carriage, his aunt, the Queen Mother Fengtian, and his biological mother, the Queen Mother Fengsheng, came down in their royal attire.
The Queen Mother of Fengtian looked at Zhang Zhao and shouted loudly: "My son Tianzong Yingzong is supported by civil servants, military generals and even all the people. He is the most benevolent and filial in the world, and he should be the emperor!"
Queen Mother Fengsheng also mustered up her courage. She looked at Zhang Zhao and said softly: "There is no need to force a divine weapon if it has no virtue, and there is no need to refuse if it has virtue. This is the will of God and the heart of the people.
The divine weapon Jiuding is not about power, but about responsibility. My son can no longer hurt the hearts of the officials and the people. He must ascend the throne as soon as possible and restore peace and prosperity to the people of the world! "

"Mother's words are reasonable. I respectfully invite the king to ascend the throne!" Queen Cao Yanxi also came out with her concubines to persuade him to come.
By this time, the fire was almost done. At this time, a loud noise came from behind. Zhang Zhao's daughter-in-law, Murong Nobunaga's wife, Princess Yongle, the fifteenth daughter of Emperor Mingzong of the later Tang Dynasty Li Siyuan, was bringing her sister Princess Shou'an, the fourteenth daughter of Mingzong. Princess Yongan and her sixteenth daughter Princess Yong'an arrived. The three sisters came over holding a large robe.
The civil and military ministers and the people of Tokyo rushed to put their hands on the Gongfu. If they couldn't touch the Gongfu, they would put their hands on the shoulders of the people in front.
Everyone gathered in front of Zhang Zhao. Princess Yongle held her robe high and shouted to Zhang Zhao.
"This is the uniform made by my late father, His Majesty Mingmiao, during his lifetime. Before the later dynasty was destroyed, my brother, the late Emperor, said something before going to the Xuanwu Tower.
In the future, there will be a benevolent and virtuous master who will inherit the virtues of the great dynasty and bring peace to the people of the world. The result is now fulfilled in your body. I beg you to ascend the throne and establish a great dynasty again! "
After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Zhao's consent, the three sisters took the robes and put them on Zhang Zhao's body.
In an instant, Zhuque's disciples burst into cheers, and countless people were so happy that they shouted long live, celebrating that they finally had a benevolent and good emperor.
