Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 348 The Persuasion of the Clan and Prince

Early in the morning, seven or eight princes and county kings, dressed in royal robes, strutted out of the house, and then, under the protection of their personal guards, took their entourages in a carriage and drove away in a mighty manner.

This time when they entered Nanjing, perhaps these princes did not bring complete food and drinking utensils, but they did have all the signature ceremonial guards.

In this way, the people of Nanjing have gained insight.

The guard of honor of the prince, the guard of honor of the county king, a team of hundreds or thousands of people, playing vocal music and holding cards, not to mention how lively it is.

The extremely wide street was once again occupied. Along the way, the common people climbed up from the windows, the cracks in the doors, and even climbed onto the roof, as if they were watching the scenery.

In this way, the mighty team passed through almost half of Nanjing's inner city and arrived at the place where King Yu temporarily lived.

"The difficulty of Jiashen, the fall of the country, the loss of the ancestral business, the king of Yu rose from the duckweed, defeated the trespassers and wiped away the humiliation of the former emperor, expelled the thieves and rescued the people of Sichuan..."

"We, the disciples of the Zhu family, implore His Highness Jian Guo to ascend the throne and save the people of the Northern Kingdom from suffering—"

King Rui said so much in one breath, his chubby face was a little out of breath, and then he knelt down and kowtowed loudly.

At this time, the old Chu king who was supported also knelt down tremblingly.

Then, King Qin, King Xiang, King Jing, King Yi, King Yongshou, King Yucheng also knelt down one by one.

The prince wears a leather hat, which is covered with black gauze. The prince has nine slits, and nine colorful jade beads are used at the front and back of each slit.

There are seven slits on the skin of the king of the county, and seven three-color jade beads are used at the front and back of each slit, all of which correspond to the crown.

The lower body is a crimson gauze robe and red dress, which looks extremely solemn.

This is the second only to the crown clothes.

A dozen or so clan members knelt in front of the door crying and crying, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In this regard, Zhu Yixi naturally couldn't make people wait for a long time, and came out slowly.

Wearing the same leather uniform, he trotted all the way, walked out of the gate, and seeing the princes and kings, he couldn't help being moved:

"Zhu Yixi is really useless!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly helped everyone up.

But everyone still couldn't stand on their knees.

The stubborn old man, more than the 70-year-old old king of Chu, Zhu Huabi, burst into tears, as if crying like an old child:
"The old man has lived for more than 70 years, and the Emperor Shenzong has shocked the world. He never thought that now, his family is ruined, his relatives are separated, the Ming Dynasty has fallen, and the foundation left by the great grandfather is gone in the blink of an eye—"

Having said that, the howling sound became louder.

The princes and kings on the side couldn't help being infected, their eyes were red, and they were crying and blue bricks.

After all, these people are really wronged in their hearts.

Being imprisoned in the mansion is like a breeding pig. You have to report when you go out of the city to visit the tomb on Qingming Festival, so you can only enjoy it endlessly.

That's all, it's been like this for more than 200 years, but in their generation, their wives and children are separated and they leave their homes.

Whether it is a thief, a thief, or a Manchu, they all raised their butcher's knives at them.

Now that he is forced to come to Nanjing City again, it seems that he will have to live under the eyes of the emperor for the rest of his life, and his life is becoming more and more hopeless.

Thinking of this, the wailing in my heart.I can't help it.

Of course, King Rui's mood was even more intense.

Looking at the crowd, it was as if someone had bitten a piece of my heart.

How do you understand the pain of lineage transfer?

Originally the throne was their family's property, but he still had to give it to someone else eagerly, begging him to accept it.

Who can feel this kind of aggrievedness?
Zhu Yixi saw a group of people in royal robes crying into a ball, and the old King of Chu cried so that those who heard it were sad and those who saw it shed tears.

"Very well, this is what everyone expects!"

Zhu Yixi felt very excited, and her intense emotions kept pounding her brain.

"When my clan was in trouble, it was thanks to the king of Yu who regained the country, so that the capital was restored, and the ancestral business was preserved for the time being."

King Rui hurriedly patted the old King Chu, for fear that he would cry and lose his temper. It would be outrageous if someone died.

Seeing him take a few breaths, Old Rui Wang raised his head, his white and tender round face was full of expectation:

"The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the Zhu family cannot be without a master for a day. I hope that the prison country will take pity on us—"

"I hope that the prison country will take pity on me—"

All the kings followed suit, kowtowed their heads one by one, and shouted in unison.

Zhu Yixi felt that she was hypocritical.

Obviously at this time, he is already very willing in his heart, but he still has to put on a refusal look: "You must not, the boy is just a estranged relative, how can he ascend the throne and become the emperor!"

King Rui endured the pain, and couldn't help saying loudly: "In times of peace, it is natural to follow the orders of our ancestors, but now that the world is in chaos and the people are struggling to live, the throne is for the virtuous!"

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo has made outstanding achievements, is highly respected, and is the best candidate for the throne—"

"No, no, please forgive the brat for being rude, please forgive me!"

As he spoke, he impatiently hid in the courtyard, with rejection written all over his steps.

The kings raised their heads, the emotion had already left, and the tears had been cried, so they could only raise their heads stupidly, looking at King Rui in the center.

Seeing that the old King Chu was out of breath, King Rui hurriedly got someone to help him down to see the doctor, and said to the crowd:

"Continue to kneel—"

As he spoke, he pouted his buttocks and knelt down with his head bowed.

The kings cursed in their hearts, so they had no choice but to follow.

They enjoyed all the glory and wealth, except when they were fleeing for their lives, where did they suffer such suffering?
But there is no way.

Three words and three concessions must be done.

Zhu Yixi rushed in, this feeling is really amazing.

The kings of the past, no matter how proud they were before, must now kneel down and beg themselves to inherit the throne.

This is the most honorable group of people in Ming Dynasty!
Power is really fascinating.

On the other side, the kings marched forward, lined up with guards of honor, and the sound of vocal music, thick and penetrating, made people's hearts tremble.

Such a loud voice also broke through the layers of walls and came to the nearby prison.

Similar to ordinary prisons, imperial prisons are more luxurious.

The straw is dry, the window holes are bright, the food is edible, there is no crying, it is very quiet and harmonious.

After being imprisoned for several days, Qian Qianyi figured out his joints and appeared very calm.

It's just that this too hard life made him unkempt and his complexion paled a lot.

"What's that sound?"

Suddenly, faint sounds came from his ears, very clear and obvious.

Zhao Zhilong at the side raised his head when he heard the words, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It should be the voice of the guard of honor, and there are many people together."

"When can we go out?"

Wei Guogong Xu Wenjue pursed his thin lips and raised his head to ask.

"just wait!"

Qian Qianyi gave him a disappointed look.

At this moment, the jailer noticed them talking and came over:
"It's a guard of honor for the kings, and they went to persuade King Yu to come in."

"Persuade?"

At this moment, everyone was groggy, and everyone woke up instantly.

King Yu is going to ascend the throne?

Qian Qianyi gritted his teeth, I originally had a share of the credit.
