Domineering Daming

Zhu Youxiao lay there with his eyes closed, babbling, the front could still be heard clearly, but the back was almost whispering, only his lips could be seen moving, but no sound could be heard.

Empress Zhang burst into tears, sitting by the bed, holding Zhu Youxiao's hand tightly.

Zhu Xu couldn't hold back the tears at last, gritted his teeth, and said softly but firmly: "Brother, don't worry, I will do my best in family affairs and state affairs, and I will never slack off in the slightest!"

Zhu Youxiao seemed to have heard Zhu Xu's words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his lips stopped wriggling, and his chest gradually stopped heaving.

Empress Zhang felt it, lying on the bed, holding back, sobbing and crying bitterly.

Zhu Xu didn't know what to say, she sat for a long time before wiping away her tears, and quietly walked out of the palace gate.

"The emperor is dead!"

I don't know where the first sound came from, and then the entire palace resounded through the sky. The originally bright night darkened at some point, and it was muffled like thunder.

Zhu Xu stood in front of the palace gate, his mind was out of order, and his heart was in a mess.

On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao's death is on the other hand, and on the other hand, he is really going to be the emperor. Can he really do well?Will his final fate be like that of Chongzhen, who will end up with the fate of the country's death?

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, a series of torches rushed into the Qianqing Palace, and then Gu Bingqian led a group of dozens of officials, both civil and military, all dressed in court clothes, formally awe-inspiring, and within a few steps, they knelt down and shouted.

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

Everyone was shouting, the mountain roared and the tsunami sounded like thunder, echoing in the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Xu had never seen such a scene before, and he felt a gust of wind hit his face, making him dizzy and unable to stand still.

"Your Majesty, please come with us."

Zhang Weixian was dressed in national official uniform, holding the handle of the knife in one hand, and supported Zhu Xu with an arm.

On the other side, Sun Chengzong held the imperial edict and supported Zhu Xu's other arm: "Your Majesty, follow us."

Before the two could finish speaking, Cao Huachun, Liu Shimin, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao also walked in quickly. These four people were accompanied by a servant from the Supervisor of Rites and five hundred Musketeers respectively.

Seeing this, Zhu Xu gained a little confidence and calmed down.

Empress Zhang also walked out at this time, stood in front of the palace gate, nodded slightly, and gave Zhu Xu a stable look.

Zhu Xu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Soon, a group of people embraced Zhu Xu, and they were not going to the Wenhua Palace, but the Huangji Palace. There were dragon robes on the road, and the emperor rushed over. Zhu Xu was hugged and walked forward like a puppet.

When Zhu Xu and the others arrived at the Huangji Hall, King Xin had been waiting for a long time, and he didn't bother. Zhu Xu was supported by Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin to sit on the dragon chair.

"Long live my emperor!"

Zhu Xu sat on the high dragon chair, everything seemed like a dream, even if he had prepared himself, he was still dizzy at this moment, and it was difficult to calm down.

All the officials may understand the little emperor's bewilderment, they were not in a hurry, and waited quietly for Zhu Xu to show.

Although Cao Huachun is an old man in the palace, he has never experienced these things. His master has become the emperor, and he has no idea at this moment.On the contrary, Liu Shimin approached and called softly, "Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu's heart froze, he blinked, forced himself to calm down, lowered his head slightly, and his body trembled imperceptibly.

His gaze was condescending, and everyone kneeling below could see clearly.

At the front is King Xin, followed by Gu Bingqian from the cabinet, Sun Chengzong, and others. On both sides are six ministers, the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, etc. Some of them know each other, some don't. There was still a strong sense of oppression surging towards him.

Zhu Xu gritted his teeth, held a deep breath in his heart, looked at King Xin who was at the front, and raised his voice: "Brother Emperor's edict, Brother Five Emperors to assist the government, hereby ordered, King Xin will discuss with the cabinet and other ministers the late emperor The great funeral and the enthronement of the new emperor should be dealt with!"

"I will obey your orders!"

King Xin took the lead to bow down, then got up, and then discussed in the hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Great news..."

Suddenly, a brocade-clothed guard rushed in, shouting at the same time.

The Ming court is very familiar with Jiebao, because the south is almost invincible against the rebellion, rebellion, and even the invasion of Annan and the Netherlands.Therefore, no one made a fuss, just stopped and waited for someone to report.

After all, this is also a happy event for the new emperor's ascension to the throne, which is a good sign.

"Your Majesty, Liaodong and Ningyuan have won a great victory!"

Chapter 186

"What, tell me quickly, tell me in detail!"

The brocade-clothed guard raised a memorial book above his head, and said with the same excitement: "Report to the emperor, there is an urgent message from Liaodong, and Master Yuan Chonghuan defeated the bandit chieftain in Ningyuan, and Liaodong won a big victory!"

Zhu Xu had expected it a long time ago, but after all, he got it by sitting on the dragon chair, and for the Ming Dynasty, this was the first victory against the Jinren!

Zhu Xu sat there motionless, and said in a deep voice, "Submit it!"

Cao Huachun hurried down and handed over the notebook.

Before Zhu Xu could turn over the book, there were already discussions and quarrels below.

"Impossible, did Yuan Chonghuan lie?"

"It should be. It's only been a few days, and the bandit chieftain has never been defeated. Can Ning Yuan alone really stop the 13 army?"

"Hmph, I should have listened to Gaodi's words long ago, withdrew all the soldiers from outside the pass to Shanhaiguan, and defended Shanhaiguan with all my strength!"

"Yuan Chonghuan, you are so happy, you should be recalled to the capital for punishment!"

"That's right, Shanhaiguan must be guarded, and government orders will be unified!"

"Hey, I don't know if Shanhaiguan can be defended. Is it necessary to issue an edict to summon the Qin kings from all over the country?"

Listening to the discussion, Zhu Youjian frowned. He also had doubts about Liaodong's ability to win the bandit chieftain, and his face was cold and speechless.

Gu Bingqian, Sun Chengzong and others did not speak, but kept looking up at Zhu Xu above.

Zhu Xu took ten lines at a glance, Yuan Chonghuan did avoid the important, and Juehua Island and other things were not mentioned, but it is true that Nurhachi was repelled, and this post-Jin offensive was a setback.

He also heard the discussion below, his expression remained unchanged, and he looked up blankly.

The noisy ministers were startled when they saw Zhu Xu's expression, and slowly calmed down, looking at the new emperor.

After a long time, Zhu Xu said calmly: "The bandit chief has indeed retreated, and Ningyuan is victorious."

Looking at the little emperor's expression and listening to his words, the officials were a little confused.
