The emperor's chariot stopped two miles away from Xizhimen, and Zhu Qiyu got off the chariot himself.
Xu Tong and Gu Zhong led five thousand personal guards, surrounded the two chariots of the emperor and the concubine, and continued to move forward. They sent the concubine and the two princesses into the palace, and then stayed in the imperial city with the Tiance Guards. Deployment together.
Zhu Qiyu treated today's welcoming ceremony with great importance and caution. Although the possibility of seizures among the nobles and generals was almost non-existent, Zhu Qiyu was still fully mentally prepared.
If anyone really dares to cause trouble, he must kill all nine of his clans before the sun rises tomorrow.
Zhu Qiyu's own style is completely different from Zhu Qizhen's. Either he won't take action, or if he does, he will kill others until others are completely frightened.
It would be better if Zhu Qizhen's half-baked funny operation of throwing ministers into jail and releasing them after a few days is done less.
After getting off the chariot, Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong, An Guogong Xu Heng, Wuding Marquis Guo Chang and others, as well as the bachelors of the cabinet, came up to greet him and saluted.
After seeing Zhu Qiyu's clothes clearly, the ministers were a little stunned.
The majestic emperor actually dressed like a prince, which is a bit different from the procedures agreed by the Ministry of Rites.
That's not right. The Ministry of Rites never confirmed the details of the clothing with the emperor, because no one would have thought that the emperor would wear princely clothes to welcome the emperor.
Zhu Qiyu gave the Ministry of Rites a "cut first and then report".
Especially Yu Shiyue, the Minister of Rites, turned green with worry. For the emperor, neither beating nor scolding was allowed. He could be persuaded, but it was useless, because even if the emperor was willing to listen to the advice, there was no time to get the dragon robe for the emperor to change into.
Yu Shiyue looked around. Except for Zhou Chen, Shi Pu, and Jin Lian, who were frowning, the remaining Wang Wen, Jiang Yuan, He Wenyuan, Huang Pu, and He Yi all had happy faces, as if they were because of The Supreme Emperor returned to Beijing smoothly and was overjoyed.
Zhu Qiyu raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw the Ming Dynasty soldiers standing on both sides of the road. It was difficult to see the end as far as the eye could see.
The Shenji Battalion and Xiaoqi Battalion dispatched a total of 50,000 people, and the team stretched from Xizhimen to the place where the Supreme Emperor camped ten miles away.
Zhu Qiyu arranged this, firstly, to protect the Supreme Emperor, and secondly, to invite the Supreme Emperor to inspect the Ming Dynasty's Xinjing Camp.
For Zhu Qizhen, these 50,000 elite Ming troops belong to the Xinjing camp. Because the old Beijing camp has been completely defeated by the Supreme Emperor himself.
I don’t know how Zhu Qizhen would feel during the military parade.
While Zhu Qiyu led the civil and military officials there with emotion, Zhu Qizhen, surrounded by Hu Hui, Yu Qian, Zhang Zhong, Wang Tong, Wu Jin and others, boarded the chariot and headed for Xizhimen.
When Zhu Qizhen first boarded the chariot, he looked at the endless soldiers of the Ming Dynasty on both sides of the road, but he didn't feel too much.
But after Zhu Qizhen sat down in the chariot and started to move, he had to sigh.
Because wherever the emperor's guard of honor passed by, the soldiers on both sides shouted in unison: "Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live the Emperor!"
Every time, three thousand people chanted in unison, which was quite powerful.
Now Zhu Qizhen couldn't sit still at all. Just listening to this battle, he didn't know how great the victory the Emperor had won.
Not long after, Zhu Qizhen was sweating profusely.
I have no choice but to feel guilty!
Thinking of the fiasco of Tumubao, Zhu Qizhen really couldn't face the grand welcome ceremony in front of him with confidence.
Behind the emperor's guard of honor in Zhu Qi Town was a prison car, which was also locked in the car first. Behind them are the Jin Yiwei guarding Boyan Timur and the Wala mission of 1,500 people moving forward slowly.
Life is really like a dream. A year and a half ago, Ye Xian was still an arrogant figure, showing off his power and high spirits in the city walls of Beijing.
In the blink of an eye, he became a prisoner and was about to accept the humiliation and abuse from the Ming court and the people of the capital.
As Zhu Qi Town drove closer, more than 100,000 people had gathered outside Xizhimen, and there were at least tens of thousands of people on the city walls.
People are crowded and crowded, all waiting to witness this historic moment.
Zhu Qiyu waited for less than a meal when Min King Zhu Chu and Soochow King Zhu Wengui also rushed outside the city.
Now only these two vassal princes have been left in the capital by Zhu Qiyu. Seeing the arrival of the two carriages, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly greeted them personally.
Today Zhu Qiyu also regarded himself as a prince, so when the Emperor's car drove a mile away from everyone, the three kings stood side by side at the front to welcome it.
Since Zhu Qiyu is one of the two protagonists today, he stands in the middle. King Min is on the left, and King Soochow is on the right.
After waiting for a while, the car finally came closer.
Except for Zhu Qiyu, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison: "Welcome the Emperor to return to the capital, long live, long live, long live!"
The scene was completely prepared, at least the ruling and opposition parties could not find fault.
Zhu Qizhen slowly stepped off the chariot. As soon as he stood still, before he could take a closer look, Zhu Qiyu rushed over, knelt on the ground, hugged his brother's thigh and cried.
This caught Zhu Qizhen off guard. Zhu Qizhen had been emperor for fourteen years, so he naturally knew how to act.
But Zhu Qizhen thought that the process should be for the two brothers to kneel down together, embrace each other and cry, so that the world could see that brothers and sisters are respectful.
Zhu Qizhen did not expect that his younger brother would hug his thigh tightly as soon as he came up, bursting into tears and sobbing.
This made Zhu Qizhen unable to kneel down and could only stand there passively, helpless.
In the eyes of the onlookers, it was like the emperor kneeling down to welcome him, and the emperor was receiving the ceremony.
Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, Hu Bi and Yu Qian hurriedly stepped forward to offer assistance.
Only then did Zhu Qiyu stand up, wiping away his tears while expressing his joy at his eldest brother's return to Beijing.
Now that Zhu Qiyu stood up, Zhu Qizhen could no longer kneel down alone. He could only cry with his eyes red, hugging each other.
The important task of persuading the two emperors fell entirely on the shoulders of Hu Hui and Yu Qian.
The two of them were chatting, but the brothers Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu just stopped.
Next, the clan members, nobles, civil and military officials paid homage in sequence.
The first is King Min. Because King Min Zhu was the eighteenth son of Taizu and the only living son of Taizu, he was three generations older than Zhu Qizhen.
So instead, it was Zhu Qizhen who took the initiative to pay tribute to King Min, and King Min responded and expressed his condolences to the Supreme Emperor cordially.
Next, there is the King of Soochow. Although Zhu Qizhen had never met Zhu Wengui, he heard Hu Hui explain the changes in the court in detail, so he naturally knew that this uncle Wang who could stand side by side with Zhu Qiyu was the legitimate son of Emperor Jianwen.
Zhu Qizhen stopped the King of Soochow from kneeling down, and the two sides greeted him politely and exchanged some pleasantries.
Next is Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong. The two knew each other well. Xu Chengzong cried and knelt down and sighed with emotion again.
After that, there was Xu Heng, Duke of Anguo. When Zhu Qizhen sent troops to conquer personally, Xu Heng was still the Marquis of Xing'an. Now that he has returned to the capital, Xu Heng has become the Duke of An, and ranks among the most powerful nobles in the Ming Dynasty.
What happens next is embarrassing. Guo Chang, Marquis of Wuding, was only in his early thirties, but he was the father-in-law of the new emperor Zhu Qiyu.
At the critical moment, Zhu Qizhen and Sanyang did not fail to harm the three generations of Yongjia Princess, Guo Zhen and Guo Chang.
Hedong in thirty years and Hexi in forty years. Now that things have changed, Guo Chang's lineage has completely turned around again.
Zhu Qizhen accepted Guo Chang's worship with a guilty conscience, followed by the visit of important civil and military officials.
