Everything that followed made Zhu Youzhu a little dazed, as if he was in a dream. He found that everything had changed. The vicious eunuchs became extremely respectful one by one. Even the eunuch who guarded the tomb, Eunuch Liu, deliberately asked someone to lift a "lock" wooden box. The locked Eunuch Hu was dying.

"Hmph, the man surnamed Hu is so brave. He dares to abuse the clan. He really takes the courage of the bear heart and leopard!"

First, he scolded him coldly, and then Eunuch Liu apologized.

"Master Jiu, I really don't know that such a thing will happen. Please forgive me!"

Facing Eunuch Liu's show of goodwill, although he knew that the person surnamed Hu was just a scapegoat, Zhu Youzhu didn't care about so much now, and he was full of doubts.

What's going on?

Just as he was puzzled, he learned from Eunuch Liu that not only was he released, but even more than a hundred other people who were locked in high walls and were deposed.

The sudden change made Zhu Youzhu feel a little confused. Not to mention him, most of the others were the same. They were all guilty of various crimes and were locked up in high walls. Now the country of the Ming Dynasty is in danger. That's why someone released them and made them guilty in the army!

What released them was Zhu Ciying, the most famous figure in the royal family that they had heard of in the high walls.

Prince De was not the emperor. He said he would release people, so why would the eunuchs in the middle follow him?

In fact, this is not the fault of Eunuch Liu. He really dares not let anyone go!

Although Li Dakai and Zheng Sen and his friends brought only a thousand cavalry here, who would not know that the general led more than 100,000 troops to go north to serve the king soon. Now this is a toast. If he doesn't let anyone go and the wine is punished, the head will fall to the ground.

Besides, how could Eunuch Liu, who is in Zhongdu, not care about state affairs?

In the past few days, the messenger traveled back and forth between the north and south, which naturally brought news from the north. The guards of Juyong Pass surrendered the thieves and the soldiers who broke into the capital were pointed directly at the capital.

No matter what the situation in the future, one thing that is certain is that the general is bound to make a fortune!

What will happen to the general who defeated the tide and turned the tide?

Only God knows this!

God knows the future, and people know what is happening before us. The general is the master who cannot tolerate sand in his eyes.

Not only do we have to release people, but we also have to make these people have no complaints.

So, the charges for "harsh abuse of the royal family" fell on the bastard, and his head became a gift for Eunuch Liu to appease these relatives.

Is this gift useful?

Eunuch Liu didn't care. He knew that the common people, including Zhu Youzhu, didn't care. They must be concerned about another matter. When will the general come and what errands will the general ask them to take on!

This is true for Zhu Youzhu, who was born in Zhao Fan of Zhangde, and Zhu Youjian, the deposed King of Tang of Nanyang, was the same. They all looked around in a daze, as if they were in a dream.

This will bring freedom back?

Then what?

Then we will work in front of the general's tent and jointly protect the country established by our ancestors.

What about the general?

When will he come?

Go north to serve the king!

After entering March, these four big words were spread everywhere in Nanzhili. Although the army had not yet appeared, the Daming Daily had already reported many news about the kings in the north. Under the sky, only the General Pinglu responded to the emperor's will!

The loyalty of the general can express the sun and the moon!

In the treacherous and loyal way, at least for the outside world, the actions of the Pinglu General were impeccable. After receiving the emperor's order, he immediately ordered the 100,000 troops in Wuchang to go down the river and meet in Nanjing to go north to serve the king. At the same time, he ordered the Pinglu Army in Liaodong to enter the pass to serve the king.

Of course, it all takes time!

On the fourth day of the March, 20,000 pioneers set out from Wuchang and arrived in Nanjing under the leadership of Li Dingguo.

On the same day, after leaving the army's camp, Zhu Guoqiang led several close staff members to walk into Xiaoling with the sacrifices he had prepared long ago. This was his third time to come to Xiaoling. The first time he was to kill someone here. The last time he was to comfort him. But what about this time?

He paid a sacrifice to the high emperor with great martial arts. He knelt on the ground and choked with sobs and said:

When he was in the Enjoy Hall, Zhu Guoqiang half-kneeled there and then said to himself.

"I know, you know, but since my surname is Zhu, I will protect the Ming Dynasty from the future. I believe that the spirit of heaven should understand that I want to seize this country, not for the same family, but for our Han people, for this civilization, as for..."

Just like chatting, Zhu Guoqiang looked at Emperor Gao’s tablet and said one by one.

In the empty hall of enjoyment, no one would interrupt his words, nor would anyone eavesdrop on his words.

"I hope that relying on the spirit of the High Emperor, I can annihilate the bandits, consolidate my country, and in the future, I will bring the prestige of the country in all the seas and expand the waves to thousands of miles. For the future of my nation, I will be willing to do it..."

Finally, Zhu Guoqiang stood up, stared at the spiritual throne of Emperor Gao, stared at the tablet "The Great Sage of Heaven and the Great Emperor Gao", "The Great Sage of the Great Spirit, Benevolence, righteousness, martial arts, and handsomeness, and successfully the Great Emperor Gao", and said silently.

"The spirit of the High Emperor in heaven is proof, and his descendants must take this as their lifelong career..."

After saying that, he turned around and left the Enjoy Hall. At this moment, he truly became Zhu Ciying and accepted this identity directly. He was no longer Zhu Guoqiang from another world, but Zhu Ciying from this world. He not only defended this country for the sake of defending the country, but also defended the country of his ancestors.

After leaving Xiaoling, as soon as Zhu Guoqiang returned to Nanjing, he invited Qian Qianyi. Perhaps the character of the water is too cold is problematic, but I have to admit that this is also a very talented person, especially his literary accomplishments, which are definitely more than most people.

After seeing the ceremony, Qian Qianyi asked,

"The General has decided?"

Zhu Guoqiang nodded and said:

"The sixth day of the lunar calendar is the auspicious day set by the Ministry of Rites. I will lead 20,000 troops to the north first. Other troops will leave Wuchang within the next few days and go north from Nanzhili. If the canal thaws, go north along the canal. If it does not thaw, take land, go north in Huaian and cross the Yellow River, and pass through Shandong to Beizhili."

After saying that, Zhu Guoqiang looked at Qian Qianyi and said:

"You are planning a manifesto. I have read it these few days ago. Do you need to change it?"

The manuscript of the proclamation for the king to go north was written by Qian Qianyi. When he heard the general's inquiry, Qian Qianyi quickly stood up respectfully and replied:

"The manuscript was repeatedly pondered by the ministers, and asked Zhang Shangshu and others to read it before submitting it to the general. However, this manifesto of going north to serve the king is extremely important, so we must wait for the general to consider it personally and then dare to report it to the general after it is revised."

Nodding slightly, Zhu Guoqiang picked up the manuscript and looked at the manifesto again. This manifesto was not so much a manifesto of rescuing the king, but rather a manifesto of demanding the restoration of the Ming Dynasty's ancestor system and using the vassal kings to lead troops to guard the center. After the vassal kings listed Chengzu, they suppressed the vassal chambers and implemented the vassal ban, which led to the rampant bandits, and the clan vassals could only sit and wait for burial, but could not guard the center. In a word, it was to restore the ancestral system of rescuing the Ming Dynasty's vassal kings, and of course they also called on the clan vassals of the world to raise troops to defend the king. Even in the manifesto.

This is the great righteousness that Zhu Guoqiang needed in the name of restoring the ancestral system!

"Then let's think about it together. OK, sit down and read it slowly to see if there is any place that needs to be changed."

Qian Qianyi sat down, held up the proclamation in both hands, and chanted softly:

"The Defan of the Daming Dynasty was ordered to serve the king..."

The reason why the Defan was used in the name of the Defan was to pave the way for the restoration of the ancestral system, and of course it was also to pave the way for usurping the throne and seizing power.

In fact, the so-called ancestral system is just an excuse, but with this excuse, there will be great justice. As long as you take out the banner of Emperor Gao, even if you take over the world in the future, it will be a restored ancestor's country, rather than "usurping" Chongzhen's country.

In this way, at least for the outside world, it is natural to ascend to the throne by oneself. In fact, all this is just a cover-up. This so-called "righteousness" is just a little nicer.

But in this era, people need such "righteousness". Even those officials who come here need a reason to convince themselves.
