Chapter 1239 The Final Chapter: Dawn of the Glorious Age
Unlike the emperor and ministers in the palace who share the same hatred and wish to eat Wang Xian, the soldiers and people in the capital have different opinions.

Someone scolded Wang Xian for being insane, the emperor had already agreed to all his conditions, and yet he wanted to do such a murderous thing.

But some people said that this matter was too strange, because Wang Xian was also poisoned at the same time, if he was poisoned, he couldn't be poisoned to death with himself, right?

Moreover, it was the emperor who proposed to drink alcohol, and the emperor also brought out the wine. Could it be that Wang Xian can predict the prophet and hide the poison on his body in advance?
In short, there is everything to say, but there is no one-sided denunciation of Wang Xian...

.

But no matter what, the morale of Wang Xian's army fell into a trough, the commander was poisoned, and his life and death were unknown, so the morale of the army could not be shaken!

At this time, Chengshan Hou Wangtong led an army of [-] to leave Juyongguan, and rushed back to the capital at night.

At the same time, the tens of thousands of Qin Wangjun in Henan, as well as Shen Wang Zhu Mo in Luzhou, Yi Wang Zhu Jiyun in Luoyang, and Jin Wang Zhu Meigui, all led the army to the vicinity of Daxing, forming a 10,000+ coalition army, waiting for the follow-up Qin Wangjun and Fan Wang When we arrive, we will fight against the traitors together!

The wind and rain in Tongzhou City were precarious, and the soldiers could not accept it at all. In a blink of an eye, it changed from sweeping the world to being besieged on all sides.Everyone is very clear that all this is because their coach has fallen...

On the fifth day after Wang Xian was poisoned, a group of travel-stained people knocked on the closed gate of Tongzhou City.

Zhang Yi, who was guarding the city, saw a familiar face among the visitors and couldn't help shouting: "Xue Huan!"

That person turned out to be Xue Huan who was sent to Annan by Wang Xian!
Xue Huan, who was covered with scars, managed to force a smile, punched Zhang Yi hard, and said in a low voice, "I brought a miracle doctor, hurry up and see your lord!"

"Okay." Zhang Yi immediately led them into the government office, passed through layers of guards, and arrived outside a room that smelled of medicine.

Wu Wei and Xian Yun stood outside the door, and when they saw one of the visitors, the former exclaimed in surprise: "Father, you really are not dead yet!"

The so-called miraculous doctor is naturally Dr. Wu. He was very happy to see his son, but when he heard this, he almost turned his nose in anger, and snorted, "With a son like you, I am not far from death!" Wu Wei, who was tongue-tied, opened the curtain and went into the inner room.

Then Dr. Wu was stunned, and saw that medicine was boiling on the charcoal stove in the room, and His Royal Highness Zhennan Wang, who was 'dying to die', was sitting cross-legged on the kang, concentrating on playing backgammon with Erhei opposite him...

"Ahem!" Dr. Wu was angry again, and coughed twice.Wang Xian turned his head when he heard the sound, and said with a pleasant smile: "Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, I can say that I have longed for you!"

"Yes, uncle, if you don't come back, the prince will not be able to leave this house." Erhei jumped off the kang and gave his seat to Dr. Wu.

"I know you're a fool, it's impossible to drink wine as soon as you see it." Dr. Wu let go of his hanging heart, sat opposite Wang Xian, and carefully looked at his face, only to see that his face was slightly blue.Dr. Wu frowned and said, "Is it still poisoned?"

"Hey..." Wang Xian sighed and said, "I just sucked it in my mouth, I didn't expect it to be so poisonous..."

Doctor Wu felt Wang Xian's pulse, and said with a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I'll prescribe some antidote for you, and I'm sure you can continue to harm the world..." After speaking, Doctor Wu said in disbelief, "How did you Guess what is poisonous in the wine?"

On the way here, Dr. Wu has already learned about what happened in detail.Since an old Jianghu like himself would be deceived to death by the emperor, Wang Xian is still vigilant.

There was pain in Wang Xian's eyes, obviously unwilling to recall the situation that day, he sighed for a long time and said: "Actually, I was not wary at all at first, but when I saw the pair of gold cups, a word popped out of my mind, and I put the wine I contained it in my mouth and spit it out by wiping my mouth."

"What?" Erhei and Doctor Wu asked in unison.

"Drink the golden cup with you, and you will not forgive each other..." Wang Xian said slowly.

"What do you mean?" Erhei stared at him with one eye, not knowing why.

Doctor Wu showed his original expression, and explained softly: "This is what the Emperor Taizu said to Ru Taisu. The golden cup is in front, and the white sword is in the back. What do you mean?"

"Ah, that's it..." Erhei suddenly realized.

"It's all your usual dirty face," Dr. Wu looked at Wang Xian, shook his head and smiled wryly, "Let Emperor Hongxi forget that you have won Juren..."

Wang Xian's expression darkened and he said: "In any case, the crime of killing the king has already been charged on my head, and it is the emperor who once treated me with great kindness. It is a foregone conclusion that I will not win the hearts of the world."

"That's not necessarily the case." Dr. Wu shook his head and said with a smile, "I have a medicine that can cure the disease... I just don't know if you would like to use it?"

"Is there any other choice for me?" Wang Xian let out a long sigh.

.

That afternoon, the good news that Dr. Wu had rescued Wang Xian spread throughout Tongzhou City, and the soldiers immediately swept away the haze, cheering soaring to the sky!
Daxing's King Qin's allied army heard the news, but before they could check it out, they withdrew their camp overnight and retreated into the city of Beijing...

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Xian supported his "sick body" and led [-] cavalry to the southeast. Two days later, he arrived at Dagukou, [-] miles away.

On the seaside of Dagukou, countless large ships and huge ships docked quietly at the pier, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming army, whose uniforms were slightly different from those of the Central Plains, were patrolling and guarding.Seeing Xue Huan appear, they immediately saluted respectfully and called them generals.These are naturally the troops brought back by Xue Huan from the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi.

"It's a pity that the journey is too far, and I couldn't help you at all." Xue Huan sighed with infinite regret. As soon as he received Wang Xian's order, he immediately led the people on board and returned to the voyage. After drifting on the sea for more than a month, he waited In Tianjin, it is time for the two armies to discuss peace...

"Don't worry, your battle is indispensable." Wang Xian chuckled, and saw a wrinkled and thin monk, accompanied by Chang Mao and Wynn, walking off the battleship.

Wang Xian quickly stepped forward and led the crowd to greet him, saying: "Your Majesty is welcome!"

The monk turned out to be Zhu Yunwen, who had disappeared for many years. Seven years ago, he was sent to intercourse by Wang Xian, thinking that he could finally get rid of the entanglement of fate, and spend the rest of his life peacefully in the ancient Buddha with green lanterns in the remotest corners of the world.

Who knows, I still can't hide...

Looking at Wang Xian, looking at Chang Mao, Huai En, and Dr. Wu, Zhu Yunwen sighed and said, "Go as you please, the poor monk just wants to return to Jiaozhi as soon as possible..."

Doctor Wu and Chang Mao couldn't help showing shame on their faces.They also know that seeking to restore the country is no longer for Emperor Jianwen, but for the obsession of this life.

.

In any case, Wang Xian raised the banner of Emperor Jianwen, and became a loyal minister who endured humiliation for Emperor Jianwen's restoration of the country. In this way, whether he killed Zhu Di or Zhu Di's son, it became an act of loyalty.You don't have to bear those heavy infamy anymore...

beijing city.Hearing that Wang Xian raised the banner of Emperor Jianwen, all the princes and ministers turned pale.

What they rely on is Zhu Ming's orthodoxy!But Emperor Jianwen is the heir established by Emperor Taizu!And Zhu Zhanxi's throne was taken from Jianwen by his grandfather Zhu Di in rebellion!As soon as Jianwen came out, the title of traitor and traitor fell on their heads...

Seeing that the ministers were confused, Zhu Zhanxi laughed loudly and said: "The king thief is at the end of his rope, and he came up with such a dirty trick! Just find a cat or a dog and pretend to be Zhu Yunqi."

Several vassal kings were relatively detached, and asked after hearing the words: "Does Your Majesty have any evidence to prove that this Zhu Yunqi is a fake?"

"Of course I have!" Zhu Zhanyu said in a deep voice full of confidence: "Emperor Daxing told me before he left that the real Emperor Jianwen was found by the emperor a long time ago, and now he is secretly locked up in Qingshou Temple. How could he escape? Go to Tongzhou?"

"That's it! It's really great!" The princes and ministers breathed a sigh of relief, but they were a little worried: "Please also bring him here quickly, and verify his integrity, so as to set the record straight!"

"It should be so!" Zhu Zhanxi ordered Dongchang to bring Zhu Yunqi from Qingshou Temple.

King Shen and Zhu Mo had met Jianwen, and when they saw the old monk with a vicissitudes of life, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It can't be wrong, it's him!"

Before the ministers could laugh, the monk laughed and said: "Idiot. The poor monk is the emperor's substitute. He has lied to you for so many years. Now that the real dragon is born, my merits and virtues will be consummated."

Zhu Zhanyu and the others were immediately dumbfounded.

.

Although the imperial court in Beijing will never admit that Emperor Jianwen of Tongzhou is real.But at this time, the Jianwen Dynasty was only 20 years away, and there were still a large number of survivors and survivors. When these people heard that Zhu Yunqi was back, no matter whether it was true or not, they would come to take a look, so they went to Tongzhou one after another, asking to see Jianwen.

Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to come out to meet them. Seeing these old ministers, he was also very moved. When he talked about the old things with them, those people were convinced immediately. They knelt in front of Jianwen and cried so much...

What is true is true, and it will only become more true.It didn't take long for the people of the world to accept that he was the real grandson of Emperor Taizu, His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

In the eyes of the people in the world, Jiangshan belonged to Emperor Jianwen in the first place, so it is only natural to take it back now.Of course, Zhu Di’s regime has been established for more than 20 years, and there are many supporters, especially those who persecuted Jianwen’s former ministers and divided up their property. one side.

In any case, at this time, it doesn't matter who takes the truth and who doesn't, it's all about strength.

In fact, this means that the people of the world are on the side of Jianwen, because there is no suspense about the outcome of the two sides at this moment...

Although the Beijing imperial court has many soldiers, the vassal kings and King Qin armies from all over the country have stood still and dare not take a step closer to Beijing. They can only rely on the 50 troops in the city...

Although Tongzhou City has only [-] to [-] troops so far, no matter whether it is Wang Tong or the several vassal kings who came to King Qin, none of them dared to lead troops to fight, and they all huddled in the city of Beijing without moving.

What's more terrible is that with Wang Xian's army outside the city, food from all over the country could not be transported to Beijing at all. There were hundreds of thousands more mouths to eat in the capital, and the food soon ran out. The soldiers and civilians in the city could only satisfy their hunger with grass roots and wild vegetables ...

The soldiers and civilians didn't have much opinion on Wang Xian who surrounded Beijing. After all, the two armies were fighting, and the encirclement was the proper meaning.What they hate is the emperor and princes and ministers who don't care about their own life and death. These guys are full all day long and don't have to worry about starving, but the common people are going to starve to death!
When Liu Sheng led his 10,000+ army back from the Bauhinia Pass held by Zhang Wu and Liu Zijin, he rushed to join Wang Xian.Wang Xian finally began to attack the city of Beijing.

How can the defenders who have lost their morale and alienated their morality fight to the death with them?Some soldiers and civilians even secretly destroyed the city defenses and helped Wang Xian attack the city.Seeing that the general situation was over, the princes and ministers in the city couldn't sit still any longer. Taking advantage of the chaos defending the city, they secretly contacted outside the city, opened the Chaoyang Gate, and let Wang Xian's army enter the city.

Knowing that the outer city had been breached in the imperial city, Zhu Zhanxi sat in the Qianqing Palace full of firewood and wanted to set himself on fire to die for the country.Empress Dowager Zhang tried hard to persuade him not to do stupid things.Zhu Zhanxi said that what Zhu Yunqi can do, I can do too.Empress Dowager Zhang sighed: "He didn't burn himself to death, but he is staying in Tongzhou well!"

Zhu Zhanxi was stunned when he heard this, and he no longer had the courage to set himself on fire, so he asked the eunuch to spread the word, hoping to surrender with dignity.

Wang Xian accepted Zhu Zhanyu's surrender, quickly stabilized the situation in the capital, and transported the grain from Tongzhou.The common people held the white rice and wept with joy, and all the resentment towards Wang Xian flew to the sky...

After tidying up the palace, Wang Xian respectfully invited Emperor Jianwen to enter the capital.In fact, Zhu Yunwen didn't want to set foot in Beijing at all. This is the place where Zhu Di made his fortune, and every brick of the city has a strong atmosphere of King Yan.Maybe some people will feel the pleasure of revenge, but Zhu Yunqi only feels uncomfortable all over, wishing to finish the monkey show quickly so that he can go back to the mountain temple...

But since the day he burned down the imperial palace in Jinling and died in exile, he has been shrouded in the will of others and cannot help himself.At this moment, sitting on the dragon chair again, he still can only follow the pre-written script and act out the drama that belongs to others.

In February of that year, Zhu Yunwen decreed to restore the country and changed the name of the country to "orthodox".

On the same day, Zhu Yunwen decreed that Wang Xian be the King of Virtue, and he followed up with three generations of ancestors.He also appointed Wang Xian as the governor of the metropolis, and the governor of the world's soldiers, horses, military affairs.

On the next day, Zhu Yunwen issued the third decree, ordering to abolish the military power of the vassal kings all over the world, and ordered the vassal kings from all over the world to live in the capital within a limited time.

More than [-] princes from all over the country, nearly a hundred county kings, and tens of thousands of clans were in an uproar.Immediately, more than a dozen princes rose up to rebel, and they had to learn from Qing Jun...

When the military intelligence arrived in Beijing, Zhu Yunwen ordered King De to supervise the government and take charge of the military and political power, citing the dragon's discomfort as an excuse.Regardless of the minister's dissuasion, he continued to be a monk in Qingshou Temple...

Wang Xian immediately sent five generals, Mo Wen, Liu Sheng, Zhang Yi, Xue Huan, and Deng Xiaoxian, each with [-] troops, to fight the rebellion.Those useless princes of the Zhu family are no match for these masters of tigers and wolves.Within half a year, all the rebellions were put down, and those princes who rebelled, as well as the clans that colluded with them, were escorted back to Beijing one after another.

When returning to the army, Mo Wen and others took the rest of the clan and princes back to the capital. The vassals and princes who had been a disaster for the region for nearly 60 years were finally wiped out, and all the officials and people in the world celebrated.Wherever the army went, the country gentry and the common people actually lined up to welcome them, which shows how unpopular these parasites are!

Wang Xian's move can be said to kill four birds with one stone. First, he bought the hearts of the world; second, he eliminated the hidden dangers of suzerain vassal;

In the twelfth lunar month of the first year of Zhengtong, Zhu Yunwen came out of the temple and ordered to add nine tins to Wang Xian.Now even a fool understands that the emperor is going to abdicate the throne to King De...

Many people began to persuade them to advance, but Wang Xian was unmoved, and devoted all his energy to the implementation of a series of policies such as resuming production, encouraging industry and commerce, lifting the sea ban, and abolishing registered households.

These policies are all deliberate measures introduced by Wang Xian in response to the disadvantages that he has personally experienced in the past ten years, and they can be described as the right medicine.Three years later, the world will be in great order, the grain will be plentiful, Jiaozhi will be pacified, and the world will come to court...

At this time, Zhu Yunwen, whose life had come to an end, once again proposed to abdicate the throne to Wang Xian.

This time, it was very different from the situation three years ago. Wang Xian had completely conquered the hearts of the world. Officials and common people only knew that there was King Virtuous, but not that there was Emperor.

Moreover, Zhu Wengui, Zhu Yunwen's only son, has been turned into an idiot by Zhu Di and his son, and has no heirs. Therefore, it is a matter of course for the throne to be handed over to Wang Xian.

The civil and military forces from all over the world wrote together to persuade them to advance. Thousands of old gentry went to the capital and begged His Royal Highness De Wang to obey the public opinion. Wang Xian finally reluctantly agreed to accept the abdication and set the year name as "Ding Yuan". world.

Then there was the enthronement ceremony, and the canonization of concubines.

Wang Xian canonized a total of one empress and three concubines.Lin Qing'er is the empress, Baoyin Qiqige is the imperial concubine, and Ling Xiao is the virtuous concubine.But people who love gossip are fond of talking about whether the Xu family who was named a noble concubine is really Xu Miaojin...

After ascending to the throne, Wang Xian claimed to be a high-ranking official. During his 62 years in power, he made great efforts to develop, his politics was clear, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, he was free and relaxed, and his culture was prosperous. prosperity.
