Facts have proved that Zhu Qizhen is really a waste.
The three major battalions held out for less than a day, and Nanjing was defeated.
King Yu led 120,000 people into the capital and beheaded Zhu Qizhen in Qianqing Palace. He did not wait for reinforcements from General Wang until his death.
King Yu put on the dragon robe that he had longed for and sat on the throne of his dreams.
But the dream was short-lived after all. Three days later, General Huang and Zhu Qizhao met at the gate of Nanjing.
The battle lasted for two days, and the army formed by the victims was incomparable to the army fighting on the bloody battlefield.
The moment they attacked the city gate, King Yu's army was completely defeated and surrendered on their knees.
Zhu Qizhao was protected by twelve guards, and General Huang personally opened the way and went straight to Zijin City.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other and both laughed.
King Yu smiled sadly, as if he thought he was ridiculous.
Zhu Qizhao smiled wildly and triumphantly.
"The rebellious minister Zhu Yunluo will be captured without hesitation."
King Yu pulled out the sword from his waist and put it on his throat.
"Everyone in the world underestimates you!"
Uh-huh!
A sword seals the throat.
King Yu died on the dragon throne and sat on it until his death.
Next, Zhu Qizhao announced that he would go to Tianlao to release His Highness the Crown Prince, and invite the Crown Prince to ascend the throne and inherit the throne.
Then, the prince was really released.
Along with it, there are also the group of veterans who were imprisoned by the second prince.
The prince is forty years old this year. A few days in jail have made him full of vicissitudes.
When the brothers met, tears filled their eyes.
The two hugged each other and cried bitterly.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince burst into tears and said, "I thought I would never see you again!"
"Brother, don't be afraid. The rebellious ministers and traitors have been killed by me. Now I have General Huang's army of 100,000. The other generals also received my invitation and came here. No one can hurt you, brother." !”
"Well……"
The prince is not stupid, he knows that his brother, the most "unscheming" one, has a meaning in his words.
What is he saying?
He is telling everyone that he has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command and no one can stop him!
The ministers are not fools, and there is nothing they still don’t understand at this point.
Zhu Qizhao said: "Now that all the rebellious ministers and traitors have been wiped out, I hope that the emperor brother can fulfill his father's last wish and inherit the throne."
"No, no, no, I have figured it out during the past few days in prison. I am not suitable to be the emperor, but my brother is. Without you, I am afraid that our great empire will be destroyed!"
"But brother, you are the eldest son, and you are the prince appointed by your father. This matter is not appropriate. It is better for the throne to be inherited by my brother."
"No, no, no, the lonely king has been tortured in prison, and his body is already crumbling. At this time, the country is in turmoil, and a capable and energetic person is needed to restore Daqian."
Seeing the two brothers push and give way, Zhang Qingyuan felt that this was the real shamelessness.
Does the prince really not want to be the emperor?
He didn't dare.
Does Zhu Qizhao really want to give up the throne to the prince?
He's just pretending.
After some humility, all the ministers also stood up.
One by one, they advised Zhu Qizhao to comply with God's will and inherit the throne.
As he spoke with tears streaming down his face, under the gaze of General Huang and a group of soldiers, he willingly put on his yellow robe.
Zhu Qizhao was "helpless" and really had "no way" to refuse their kindness anymore, so he had to "reluctantly" put on the dragon robe, and with the prince's "heartfelt blessing", he ascended the throne.
Everyone is happy.
Moreover, the prince also wrote an edict stating that he was willing to give up the throne.
In this way, Zhu Qizhao's sitting on the throne can truly be justified.
After watching the entire scene, Zhang Qingyuan suddenly remembered a song.
"I, who should cooperate with you in your performance, turn a blind eye and force the person who loves you most to perform to the best of my ability..."
Um?
Zhang Qingyuan did not participate in the subsequent aftermath, but walked to the pile of corpses and started searching.
Where is Xia Houjue?
It seems that I haven't seen him since breaking the city.
Li Qiuran stood next to Zhang Qingyuan, holding the sword and frowning slightly, quietly clenching his fists, "What should I do?"
"have no idea."
He really didn't know where to look.
The purpose of following Zhu Qizhao to Beijing was to find Xia Houjue. After all, Xiahou Jue might have been one of the murderers who destroyed the Tianyin Xuannv Pavilion.
"He can't run away, he must still be in the city." Li Qiuran said anxiously.
Zhang Qingyuan comforted him: "Don't worry, we will definitely find him."
King Yu died long ago. He should have been stopped just now and asked for news about Xia Houjue before letting him die!
Where could he go?
Li Qiuran looked at Zhang Qingyuan with a hint of help. Xia Hou was absolutely too important to her.
She can ignore the slander against her in the martial arts world, but with a blood feud, revenge is her motivation.
"Don't worry, I'll ask His Majesty."
Zhang Qingyuan sighed. He could call him Brother Zhao an hour ago, but now he must change his name to Your Majesty.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Arriving at the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qizhao was instructing the ministers to perform their duties and restore the country's operation.
In less than a month, he ascended the throne three times, and the courtiers changed one batch after another.
The first thing he did was to send an imperial envoy to Kaifeng for disaster relief. Zhang Qingyuan taught him a method of working instead of providing relief.
At this time, Kaifeng is full of waste and needs to be renovated. The victims cannot be left to eat. They must build their own homes while having enough to eat.
This method has been well received.
Just after handing over the imperial envoy, Zhu Qizhao stood up when he saw Zhang Qingyuan walking in, laughing loudly and said: "Come and see, our Taoist Priest Qingyuan, the Zhenwu Emperor known to the people as the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu.
I can be where I am today, thanks to Taoist Priest Qingyuan! "
He adapted to his identity so quickly that he started calling me.
Zhang Qingyuan complained silently in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for inheriting the throne. I am here to report something."
"What's the matter?"
"Xiahou Jue, the leader of Tianli Cult, is missing."
As Xia Houjue was the instigator, Zhu Qizhao was naturally also watching, and he looked at Lao San below.
The third child was the leader of Tingchao Pavilion. He hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Tingchao Pavilion has come to report that Xiahou Jue left the King of Yu's team before King Yu entered the capital and ran to the south. The ministers have sent people to go. Intercepted him and captured him near Niushou Mountain last night, and he is now pressing towards the capital."
"You heard me, don't worry, he can't run away."
Zhang Qingyuan then nodded with confidence.
Next, start talking about merit and giving rewards.
The first is the Twelve Guards, who were established as a new department called the Baolong Clan, responsible for protecting the security of the imperial city.
Next was General Huang, who was given a title.
Tang Jie also gave him a knighthood, and I have to say that he won the bet.
After all the awards were given, Zhu Qizhao asked Zhang Qingyuan: "You really don't want to stay and be my national advisor?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's really not good for me to be a national teacher and I don't like this atmosphere."
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, it is so difficult.
"Brother Qingyuan, what reward do you want?"
Zhang Qingyuan had already thought about it a long time ago and said with a smile: "In the future, I want to establish a sect and establish a Taoist lineage. When Pindao is ready, I hope your majesty can give me a famous mountain to establish a Taoist sect."
"What's so difficult about this? Whichever mountain you choose, I can give it to you now as your true martial arts master's dojo."
Of course it’s Wudang!
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll wait until Xiaodao thinks about it."
I can't go to Wudang yet. I am currently weak and have to wait a few more years.
"Okay, if that's the case, then you can take the lead first, and I will give you a title first. The people will call you Zhenwu Daojun. From now on, you can follow the public opinion and call you Zhenwu Daojun."
Damn it, how dare you say that.
What if there really were Zhenwu in this world, would people be unhappy?
Zhang Qingyuan was a little panicked.
"I will give you a tour of the imperial city again. If you want to come to the capital in the future, you can come to the palace to see me at any time."
This time, the identity of Zhenwu Daojun was really confirmed, and the emperor gave him more than just a name.
The treasury must allocate money to him every year, just like Liu Luoguo in the Qing Dynasty. Do you think the emperor's cry of "Luoguo" is in vain? The imperial court must allocate 20,000 taels of silver to him every year.
This is no nonsense.
According to the law of Daqian, each word is five thousand taels, and he also has twenty thousand taels of silver.
And this title is not just as simple as getting money. First of all, it is bestowed by the emperor, and it is also spread far and wide among the people.
In this way, Zhang Qingyuan is a serious and decent person.
Who in the whole country and in the martial arts world dares to smear him?
After thanking Zhu Qi for taking the photo, Zhang Qingyuan said again: "Your Majesty, I heard that Chao Pavilion is well-informed, and Xiaodao also wants to inquire about something."
"What's the matter?"
"I wonder if Tingchao Pavilion knows who killed everyone in Yunchen Villa and put the blame on me?"
The third child took a step forward and said to Zhang Qingyuan: "Does Taoist Master know about the Galaxy Sect?"
