Chapter nine hundred and eighty so brazen
Among the court officials present, some had experienced the visit to Nanjing that year, and some had never seen the official envoys of the Qing court. But no matter who it was, when they saw Xiao Yongzao and Cha Shenxing kowtow to the Emperor Ming solemnly with such a great courtesy, they felt a sense of joy in their hearts, and some even wanted to laugh out loud immediately.
This kneeling and knocking means that the Qing Dynasty finally admitted its failure in front of the Ming Dynasty, and regarded the Ming Dynasty as its main subject. At this moment, even Zhu Yicheng, who was sitting on the throne, felt a sigh in his heart. He thought that the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil a hundred years ago, the Qing Dynasty cavalry entered the pass to massacre the Han people, issued a hair shaving order, and removed the clothes of the Ming people, changed their clothes and enslaved the people of the world. He also promoted literary inquisitions over the past century to kill the thousand-year traditions of the Han people and destroy the foundations of the Han people, intending to make everyone in the world be slaves of the Qing Dynasty.
This is the humiliation of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and it is the darkest moment of Chinese civilization. If it weren't for Zhu Yicheng's uprising, which changed all this, then according to the inertia of history, after 1840, the land of China would have to endure another catastrophe of a hundred years.
But now, all of this has finally changed. With the rise of the Ming Dynasty, the development of industry and commerce and the progress of science, the current Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more open-minded and has shown an unprecedented progress. As long as it continues, the Ming Dynasty will still be the most powerful and advanced country in the world, and there will no longer be the humiliation in the original history, nor will the black clouds shroud the Han people.
Zhu Yicheng looked at the two people lying on the ground quietly, and a sense of pride surged in his heart. He didn't say anything. After waiting for a while, he made a gesture of raising his hand. Xiao Jiangzi, who was standing below, suddenly shouted "Start up!" in a sharp voice. Xiao Yongzao and Cha Shenxing slowly stood up from the ground.
After getting up, Xiao Yongzao, as the chief envoy, first presented the "book of surrender" representing the Qing emperor. In fact, for the Qing Dynasty, this was not a book of surrender, but an edict. However, the Ming Dynasty did not think so. Since the Qing Dynasty sent envoys to submit to the emperor and took the initiative to go to the imperial title, what if it was not a book of surrender?
Xiao Jiangzi came forward to take the letter of surrender, and then read it in the palace. The Qing Dynasty used its heart, and the words were earnest, cautious, and singular. First, it talked about the history of the Qing Dynasty as the former Ming Dynasty guarding Liaodong, and thus claimed that the Qing Dynasty was originally a minister of the former Ming Dynasty. Later, because of the rebellion of the treacherous ministers in the former Ming Dynasty, the emperor was deceived. Nurhaci then launched an army to avenge his father's grudge. However, his intention was not to rebel, but to use this to make the Ming Dynasty fair.
Then, it was talked about the Chongzhen period when Huang Taiji wrote several letters to praise his ministers, but it was also because of the obstruction of treacherous ministers in the court at that time. Later, because of the rebels such as Li Zicheng, the end resulted in Emperor Yizong's death in the coal mountain. When the news came, everyone in the Qing Dynasty was sad.
Later, in order to avenge Chongzhen, the Qing Dynasty sent troops to pass the pass, thus defeating Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other bandits. But at that time, because the descendants of Chongzhen were missing, the former Ming vassal kings fought for each other and worked independently. As ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty had no choice but to temporarily orthodox the Ming Dynasty, not only to preserve the integrity of the Ming Dynasty, but also to make peace for the people of the world.
Among them, many examples are also given in the words, such as Dorgon's decision to enter the pass, and after Emperor Shunzhi entered Beijing, the so-called worship of Emperor Ming and the so-called erecting of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty were naturally indispensable for Kangxi's so-called worship of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and the so-called erecting a monument.
Zhu Yicheng sneered at these things. The Qing Dynasty clearly put gilds on his face and whitewashed himself as if he was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, but he ignored all the things he committed.
However, Zhu Yicheng was also calm. He did not stop him. He just continued to listen quietly. He wanted to hear what the Qing Dynasty would say.
Next, he mentioned the Jiangnan Uprising that year. The article said that the Jiangnan Uprising was the White Lotus Demon Sect that caused trouble to the world. As the Qing Dynasty, as the former Ming Dynasty, he naturally could not sit idly by and see Bai Lian as such a disaster. At that time, although Zhu Yicheng claimed to be the governor of the Ming Dynasty, because of Yuan Qi's affairs, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was deceived by his ministers, and was worried that some people would pretend to be orthodox people from the former Ming Dynasty, so he sent troops to quell the rebellion.
Later, Zhu Yicheng's identity was confirmed, and the Qing Dynasty realized that he had done something wrong, but it was too late at that time and the big mistake was made. Emperor Kangxi was worried about this and eventually died. After Emperor Jianxing ascended the throne, he originally wanted to correct the mistake, but because of the turmoil in the court, as a new emperor, he could only pacify the internal affairs first and contact the Ming Dynasty after the time was ripe.
Now, all the time is ripe, and those treacherous ministers who oppose it have been eradicated. Therefore, Emperor Jianxing specially sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to express his thoughts, voluntarily abandon his throne, and submit to his posts for generations, defending the border for the Ming Dynasty to fulfill his loyalty...
When the last sentence came out of Xiao Jiangzi's mouth, the entire hall was quiet. Zhu Yicheng looked at His Highness Xiao Yongzao and Cha Shenxing with a smile, while the civil and military officials in the court had the same strange expressions, looking at the two envoys like they were looking at aliens, and some people couldn't help but twitch slightly.
After a moment, I don’t know who finally couldn’t help laughing, and soon everyone else laughed loudly, especially the generals laughed loudly, and even laughed back and forth. Even Liao Huanzhi, Dong Dashan and others, who were usually calm, shook their heads in agitation.
"It's simply a big deal of the world!" Finally, a Taoist official stood up, pointed at Xiao Yongzao and Cha Shenxing's noses bluntly and cursed: "I have never heard of such shameless words! According to this book, did the Qing Dynasty enter the pass and seek blessings for the world at the invitation of my Ming Dynasty? In this way, the Qing Dynasty steals the world not only without any mistakes, but has made contributions?"
"Our dynasty did not seek credit, but just discussed the matter. When I entered the pass, I was invited by the General of Shanhaiguan to avenge the late Emperor Chongzhen. This is always true, right? As for the others, people of the same kindness, and wise people of the same opinion." Xiao Yongzao replied calmly.
"Then I'll ask you!" The official Ke Dao was furious and shouted loudly: "No matter what else is left, what if the last emperor only examines the death of his royal family? Can this also explain it?"
Hearing this sentence, Xiao Yongzao simply closed his eyes and said slowly: "Of course, it was a big mistake made by Emperor Kangxi who was deceived. After all, Emperor Kangxi had issued a decree to the world to seek the future generations and future generations to provide for the world. However, the world is greedy for wealth and honor, and countless people believe that the matter was the same. The court thought that the same was true for the past, but the ministers did not carefully check and report it. Emperor Kangxi was furious and was deceived and did such a wrong thing. After all, the truth was revealed. Emperor Kangxi was heartbroken and could not sleep at night, and regretted it every day. It was precisely this that the depressed person died later..."
