If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 70 You are the queen, and I can only be the emperor (5000 words long chapter)
that night.

Jinling City can be described as a place where the wind is roaring, the trees and grass are full of soldiers, and the chickens are flying and the dogs are jumping.

The families of many civil and military officials in the city have been "properly" protected, and in short are not allowed to leave their homes.

The leaders of the garrison officials also received "special" care.

By the afternoon of the next day, Ding Xiu had completely taken control of Jinling City.

Those who disobeyed were either beheaded or imprisoned, but most people still understood the situation clearly and chose the broad road of surrender.

Even if they don't sincerely surrender, the situation does not allow them to wait and see. They can only rebel with Ding Xiu, and maybe they can have a bright future.

The most difficult thing to deal with are some pedantic veterans.

It has to be said that some pedantic veterans are really courageous, or they value face more than life, and would rather die than surrender to the rebels.

The rebel in their eyes was naturally Ding Xiu.

Of course, there are no absolutes in this world. Just like Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, he was also a rebel in the eyes of Yuan Ting.

King Zhu Di of Yan was also a traitor in the eyes of the ministers who supported Emperor Jianwen.

The results of it?
One is revered as Taizu, Emperor Hongwu, and the other is revered as Ming Chengzu, Emperor Yongle.

Just by the word "Great Emperor", it can be seen that the achievements of the two men have been recognized by history.

Throughout the ages, countless examples are enough to prove an eternal law: there is no absolute conclusion between the so-called pros and cons. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

Ding Xiu has many ways to deal with these pedantic veterans.

Killing cannot fundamentally solve the problem. What's more, if we take over Jinling and kill everyone, won't the government affairs of various departments be paralyzed?
Fortunately, Ding Xiu has his own way to deal with these veterans, and that is to prescribe the right medicine.

Since these old ministers want to save face and reputation, we should start from this aspect, tear off their disguise and shatter their dignity.

"Master Wang, you have been an official for many years, can you still see the world situation clearly?"

"Don't talk too much about traitors and traitors. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, please do as you please. I will never betray the imperial court."

"Okay!" Ding Xiu gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Master Wang is so strong and strong, I admire you very much."

"Haha..." Mr. Wang sneered: "Don't do this, I advise you to turn back as soon as possible..."

Lord Wang came over to persuade Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu changed the subject: "However, I heard that Mr. Wang once scooped out ashes..."

"You..." Mr. Wang's face changed in shock: "What did you say? You are spitting blood!"

"Master Wang, if you want others to know, you have to do it yourself. But it is pitiful to say that you only have one son at your knees, but unfortunately he died of illness, leaving an orphan and a widowed mother. As a father-in-law, you naturally have to take more care of him."

"Slander, slander, slander, nonsense..."

Ding Xiu smiled and said: "Master Wang, it's useless for you to quibble. Since I know about this, it means that someone else knows about it.

Although it is an old matter, once this scandal is exposed, Mr. Wang will be in danger and his reputation will be ruined..."

"you……"

Mr. Wang was so angry that he could not speak.

"Master Wang is a smart man. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think more about your family.

If this scandal spreads, don’t say you have no face to see others, your daughter-in-law, and your grandson..."

"Stop it, stop it..."

Mr. Wang seemed to have aged several years suddenly.

Ding Xiu smiled happily: "Very good, it seems that Mr. Wang has finally figured out that you have to continue to preside over the Ministry of Industry."

Two days later, Ding Baiying personally led more than [-] troops to arrive outside Jinling City, but they failed to attack.

This is to build momentum for Ding Xiu, and also to put pressure on the veterans and young men in the city.

During this trip, Pei Lun also came with him. Ding Xiu focused on attacking the veterans who were under house arrest in the palace, while Pei Lun was responsible for maintaining stability in the city to prevent civil unrest.

That night, Ding Xiu came to the harem again and found Queen Zhang.

After a few days of recuperation, Queen Zhang's spirits were better, she had figured out a lot of problems, and she had opened up a lot of things.

All of this may be a fate that has already been determined.

"Are you planning to proclaim yourself emperor?"

As soon as they met, Queen Zhang couldn't help but ask.

Ding Xiu smiled, sat next to her, gently held her in his arms, stroked her hair and said, "You are the queen, so I can only be the emperor."

"You..." Empress Zhang was embarrassed, anxious and angry. She broke away from Ding Xiu's arms and said with a serious face: "How long has it been and you are still so immoral?"

Little did he know that her expression had a bit of the coquettishness of a daughter, as if she was acting coquettishly with her lover.

Ding Xiu held her in his arms again, "Baozhu, I'm not kidding you. The day has been chosen. I will leave the city early the day after tomorrow, wearing a yellow robe!"

The allusion of wearing a yellow robe comes from Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and in the Later Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin carefully planned a historically famous "Chenqiao Mutiny".

At that time, Zhao Kuangyin was appointed as the inspector in front of the palace and led Songzhou to return to the German army as a military envoy.

When the Emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty came to the throne, he was assisted by prime ministers Fan Zhi and Wang Pu because he was too young.On that day, the imperial court was holding an audience ceremony, but suddenly received an urgent report from the border. The leader of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty united to send troops to attack the Later Zhou Dynasty.

The ministers panicked, and later Fan Zhi and Wang Pu took the initiative and sent Zhao Kuangyin to lead troops to resist.

That night, Zhao Kuangyin led his troops to camp and rest at Chenqiaoyi, which was only [-] miles away from the capital.

A group of generals gathered together to discuss quietly, and someone suggested: "The emperor is so young now, and we are fighting desperately. Who will know our achievements in the future? Why not support Zhao Dianjian as emperor?"

The person who came up with the idea was naturally Zhao Kuangyin's confidant.

Soon, the news spread throughout the military camp, and the soldiers were in high spirits and flocked to the post house where Zhao Kuangyin lived.

At dawn, as soon as Zhao Kuangyin got up, several of his subordinates put a yellow robe on him. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few, shouting "Long live".

After some negotiation, Zhao Kuangyin returned to the capital wearing a yellow robe, became emperor without any bloodshed, and changed the country's name to Song.

Now, Ding Xiu is also preparing to imitate Song Taizu and wear a yellow robe outside Jinling City.

Queen Zhang naturally knew this allusion, and couldn't help but sigh: "Now that the matter has come to this, can you tell me the truth? From the beginning, you were already planning... this matter?"

She subconsciously wanted to rebel, but finally changed her mind.

After all, she can't look back.

Even if Ding Xiu sends her back to the capital of the Ming Dynasty now, as a former queen, who has been wandering outside for so long, who will believe that she is still innocent?

Besides staying with this man, does she have any choice?
Of course, from an emotional point of view, she still likes Ding Xiu, otherwise she wouldn't have given him Luopa and sachet.

Ding Xiu said calmly: "Yes, my purpose from the beginning was to overthrow this decadent dynasty.

In fact, it cannot be said that I want to overthrow it. You should also know very well that there are many people who want to overthrow it. "

Queen Zhang smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Why doesn't she know this?

"Rather than letting others take advantage, why don't I do it myself? At least, I have the confidence to do it better than others."

"I believe you have this ability, but... don't forget that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and you..."

Having said this, Queen Zhang couldn't help biting her lips, with a look of shyness and worry.

It might have been better if Ding Xiu hadn't kidnapped her to Jinling.

No matter what, she is the former queen, and Emperor Chongzhen will definitely send troops to suppress her for the sake of the royal family's face.

Seeing Queen Zhang's rosy face and red lips, Ding Xiu couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her warm red lips.

Then he smiled: "I understand your worries, but don't forget that the court is not the only one facing me.

There are Jiannu slaves outside who are watching, and there are a large number of peasant uprisings inside that need to be suppressed.

It is impossible for the emperor to mobilize all the soldiers and horses from all over the world to Jiangnan to quell the chaos, right?In that case, I am afraid that the capital city will fall before the army reaches Jiangnan.

Of course, the emperor must be very ashamed and angry because of your kidnapping.

But he is not stupid. Although the royal face is important, it is not as important as the country.I believe Chongzhen can still distinguish this point clearly.

Moreover, I am located in the south of the Yangtze River, with the Yangtze River as a natural danger, and with 10,000+ elite troops, what should I be afraid of? "

"Having said that, we can't take it lightly..."

Unconsciously, Queen Zhang also "rebelled", seeming to have forgotten her previous identity, and became worried about Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu looked contented, and his heart felt more and more fond of the beauty in his arms.

He couldn't help but said softly: "Baozhu, I have ordered someone to make a phoenix robe. You can come with me out of the city the day after tomorrow. I will wear a yellow robe and you will be my queen."

Hearing this, Queen Zhang was shocked and instinctively refused: "Huh? Absolutely not!"

"What, you...don't want to stay with me?"

"not me……"

For a moment, Queen Zhang was so confused that she didn't know where to start.

"Baozhu, you gave me the ropa and the sachet before, which proves that you care about me. This is enough. You don't need to think too much."

"I...of course I have Ding Lang in my heart, but..."

Ding Xiu sighed and rubbed her gentle face: "Baozhu, you don't have to care about other people's opinions, and you don't have to worry too much. Sooner or later, the people of the world will understand..." Regarding the selection of the queen, Ding Xiu actually wanted to make a decision at the beginning. Ding Baiying is the queen.

However, Ding Baiying couldn't let go of her master's arrogance after all, and she didn't agree no matter what.

Although she knew that sooner or later she would be beaten by that guy...

But at least she doesn't want to marry her disciple in terms of face, so what's wrong with being secretive?On the contrary, there is a feeling of something like that.

"But Mr. Ding, I... am married to someone after all. Do you really not care?"

Unconsciously, Queen Zhang's title changed subtly.

She calls Ding Xiu Ding Lang and calls herself concubine, which means that she has psychologically recognized the relationship between the two and regards herself as Ding Xiu's woman.

However, what she cares about is that she has been married before and is not a perfect woman.

If Ding Xiu was just an ordinary person, she would be willing to take her around the world with him.

But, he will eventually ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, does he really not care about this?Don’t you care what the world thinks?
"I care about you!"

Just a few words made Queen Zhang's heart tremble, her eyes were like water, and her face was flushed.

After chatting for a few more words, Ding Xiu whispered in Queen Zhang's ear: "Baozhu, it's getting late..."

Upon hearing this, Queen Zhang couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat, and her face became even hotter.

She naturally understood Ding Xiu's hint.

In the past, she would never dare to cross the boundary, but now everything has changed.

All the things in the past are like water without a trace.

Once the wind and rain fall on the surface of the water, I hope you find it and cherish each other.

"Orb..."

Ding Xiu's hands slid over the fat skin, and the orchid-like fragrance was intoxicating.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

In the beginning, Ding Xiu's purpose in getting close to Queen Zhang was very simple, just to lust after her body. He never denied this.

After all, she is one of the five most recognized queens in history.

Of course, the Queen mentioned here is a compliment, not the kind of Queen that some people understand. It refers specifically to the innate beauty and temperament of the five queens, which few others can match.

Hundreds of flowers bloom, and they are the most dazzling ones among the flowers.

After being in contact with her for a period of time, Ding Xiu gradually discovered the advantages of Empress Zhang, including being intelligent, gentle, considerate, and having her own opinions.

Although the harem cannot be involved in politics, she still sees the general trend of the world relatively clearly, and is a rare and good wife.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

Queen Zhang curled up in Ding Xiu's arms, the blush on her face not fading.

Ding Xiu stroked her hair lovingly, smelling the intoxicating fragrance, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.

Destiny is so wonderful.

everything's ready.

Ding Xiu led the crowd out of the city in a mighty manner. More than a dozen of his men, including Pei Lun, Lu Jianxing, Jin Yichuan, and Li Si, rushed forward and put on the yellow robe for Ding Xiu.

"I respectfully invite the Emperor to ascend the throne!"

"Long live Long live Long live……"

Ding Xiu pretended to decline, but finally took a square step, held Queen Zhang's soft little hand, and surrounded by his subordinates, he entered the city with great splendor and walked towards the palace.

Empress Zhang was only 15 years old when she married Emperor Xizong. Although she was beautiful at that time, she was inevitably a bit immature.

Nowadays, she is a little more mature, a little plump, a little more graceful and luxurious, coupled with the nourishment of love, she is really a pink face, peach cheeks, and unparalleled beauty.

Wearing phoenix crown, walking steps, and phoenix robe, walking gracefully shows the mother's graceful demeanor in the world.

On both sides of the street, countless people greeted each other, shouting "Long Live the Mountain".

Although they did not know Empress Zhang, the news had spread a long time ago. They had always respected Empress Zhang, and psychologically they recognized Ding Xiu as the new emperor.

Outside the palace, a group of courtiers were already waiting outside, preparing to welcome the emperor and queen into the palace and hold the enthronement ceremony.

This is a historic moment and a huge turning point for the world.

Since then, the Ming Dynasty was divided into north and south. Ding Xiu officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the Jinling Palace, and confronted the Ming Dynasty with the Yangtze River as the boundary.

Daming capital.

"What? Commander Ding proclaimed himself emperor in Jinling?"

"The appointed queen is actually Queen Yi'an?"

"God..."

"It's about to collapse..."

When the news reached the capital, the government and the public were in turmoil, as if the sky was about to collapse.

"puff……"

In the imperial study, Emperor Chongzhen was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The eunuch was so frightened that he rushed forward.

"Traitor, I trust you so much in vain..."

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were bloodshot, and his face looked particularly ferocious.

Anyone else's mood at this moment would probably be difficult to describe in words.

He sent people to quell the rebellion, but the person he sent turned out to be the leader of the rebellion. He easily occupied Jinling and proclaimed himself emperor.

Moreover, he even made his sister-in-law the queen. This is simply a shame, a shame and a humiliation! ! !
"Who is willing to lead troops to Jiangnan to quell the chaos?"

In the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Chongzhen’s roar sounded again.

"Whoever puts an end to the rebellion in Jiangnan will be rewarded heavily and given the title of Duke!"

This time he was upgraded, not to a marquis, but directly to a duke.

This is the title second only to the prince, and I have to say that it is very exciting.

As a result, all the ministers were moved, but they still looked at each other, and no one dared to stand up.

Firstly, they knew very well that the imperial court could not mobilize many soldiers and horses. Secondly, they all knew that Ding Xiu had strong soldiers and horses, which could not be compared with a bunch of weak-legged soldiers.

"Are you trying to force me to conquer in person?"

Emperor Chongzhen once again used his trump card.

I remember that back then, Zhu Qizhen, the "God of War of the Ming Dynasty", went on a personal expedition, but he made a big joke. Not only was he captured by Wa Ci, he also led Wa Ci's army around to call for help.

Wa Cijun originally thought that Zhu Qizhen was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He went to call the gate. How dare the guards not open the city gate?In this way, the Ming Dynasty city can be captured without spending a single soldier.

As a result, no guard opened the city gate.

From then on, whenever the ministers heard the word "imperial conquest", they would inevitably feel frightened. After all, they had psychological shadow.

Finally, the former military governor's left governor stood up and said, "My lord, I am willing to lead troops to Jiangnan to quell the chaos!"

When he saw someone standing up, Chongzhen was naturally surprised and had to say some words of encouragement.

After the large army left Beijing, Chongzhen began to reuse Dongchang again.

Because he no longer dares to trust Jin Yiwei. Who knows how many people in Jin Yiwei have been bribed by Ding Xiu.

However, Chongzhen did not bother to clean up the Jinyi Guards now, and ordered the entire city of Dongchang to arrest people who were closely related to Ding Xiu.

Needless to say, Shen Lian, everyone knows about his relationship with Ding Xiu.

There was also Lu Hanzhong, the governor of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion. It was this guy who recommended Ding Xiu to Jin Yiwei in the first place.

Unexpectedly, Dongchang was a step late. Shen Lian and Lu Hanzhong seemed to have agreed upon it and had already left the city one step ahead, and each took hundreds of their close followers with them.

Except for the two of them, almost everyone who had interacted with Ding Xiu was no longer in the capital.

Including Zhang Langzhong and his daughter from Bailu Hospital, and even Aunt Xue from Nuanxiang Pavilion are missing.

These people were all taken away by Shen Lian.

After all, Ding Xiu is now in the prime of employing people, such as Aunt Xue. When he arrives in Jinling, he can become a maid in charge and help manage the harem.

Dr. Zhang and his daughter are proficient in medical skills and are indispensable talents.

Ding Xiu seemed not to pay attention to the fact that the imperial court sent troops to quell the chaos, and began to handle state affairs as the founding emperor of Daqian.

Most of the officials from various ministries left in Jinling retained their original posts, except for a few extremely stubborn or idle officials who were dismissed.

This is also for the sake of a smooth transition, and will be replaced in batches after the situation in the DPRK is stabilized.
