After Zhang Yan served Zhu Youxiao, she also wore the Nine Dragons and Four Phoenix Crowns under the service of Xu Shi and other female officials.

Zhu Youxiao dragged Zhang Yan to the outside of Kunning Palace, and saw Long Yu who had been prepared by the inner prisoner, and was about to enter, but stopped suddenly when he stepped at the door.

"Your Majesty?" Zhang Yan, who was holding hands, raised her eyes and asked.

"Pearl, do you want to ride a horse with me again?" Zhu Youxiao looked around and said with a smile: "I canonize the prince, and the etiquette must be different from that of my ancestors, otherwise what's the point?"

Zhang Yan said: "If your Majesty goes down, the concubine will go."

"Well, dear Pearl!"

Zhu Youxiao pulled Zhang Yan to the side of his horse Bai Ju, and Bai Ju seemed to feel his master's arrival, and began to become restless.

After getting on the horse, Zhu Youxiao pulled Zhang Yan up and sat in front of him with force.

"drink!"

With the sound of the horsewhip, the two of them rode a white horse and galloped from the Baiyu corridor to Chengtianmen.

All the eunuchs and palace people paid attention to everything they passed along the way.

Chapter 895 Great Victory in Shenyang

Surrounded by his attendants, the emperor got up and left his seat, and took Yudi from the Jinshen Hall to outside the Chengtian Gate.

Afterwards, Shang Baoqing held the emperor's seal, and the attendants guided the holy car, and went all the way to the top of Dan Bi, while the palace band played the elegant music, and the emperor was ascended to the throne amidst the beautiful music. .

Originally, according to the rules, what everyone saw should be such a well-regulated scene.

However, the emperor of the Apocalypse Dynasty likes to give a surprise no matter what, and the canonization ceremony is no exception.

Zhu Ciran, who was dressed in a uniform and accompanied by Xu Weijing, suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, then looked up, and saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

His father, emperor and mother, were riding on the same horse, galloping out from Chengtianmen.

Before the horseshoe rested, Zhu Youxiao hugged Zhang Yan and rode around in the middle of the square. Finally, he got up directly under Majesty Dan and got off the horse.

"Queen?"

Zhang Yan put her slender hand on Zhu Youxiao's without hesitation, jumped off the horse, and was pulled to stand in front of the throne together.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao signaled to the side with his eyes, which means that it is time to play.

Only then did the ceremonial officer come to his senses, and quickly led the palace band to play and sing. Afterwards, everything went on as usual, and the ceremonial officer of the Ministry of Rites led Zhu Ciran to His Majesty Dan amidst the sound of ceremonial music.

Then, the praise officer shouted loudly: "Bow!"

Zhu Ciran immediately bowed to salute.

The successor knelt down to the emperor, announcing that the establishment of the crown prince was the inheritance of the ancestral system, which confirmed the legitimacy of Zhu Ciran's crown prince.

Then, the ordering officer stood up and shouted: "There is a system!"

The ceremonial officer of the Ministry of Rites shouted in response: "Kneel!"

Only then did Zhu Ciran come to the center, kneel down on his knees under the eyes of all the people, and bowed.

This time it was the Xuanzhi official who came forward, holding a bright yellow scroll, spread it high in the air, and shouted loudly: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said:

Since ancient times, the emperors have succeeded in setting up the pole and returning the emperor to the district. They must establish the Yuan Chu, the Maolong country, and the Mianzong society will never stop.

Zhenxu Yinghong continued, day and night cautiously, admiring the merits of the ancestors, entrusting him with the most important, bearing the honor and celebrating, end in Yuanliang.

The eldest son of the emperor, Ci Ran, has a heroic appearance and a beautiful talent. I hereby abide by the benevolent order of the emperor and concubine, carry out the ceremony, and obey the public opinion. I would like to tell the world, the ancestral temple, and the community.

On the eighth day of October in the seventh year of Tianqi, he granted Ci Ran a book of treasures, established him as the crown prince, and was seated in the East Palace.This is it. "

After announcing the imperial decree, the Xuanzhi officer handed over the book to Wei Guangwei, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Wei Guangwei's beard was trembling slightly. To have such an experience in this life is not in vain.

Later, on behalf of the civil servants, he solemnly handed over the imperial decree to the British Duke Zhang Weixian.

The same is true for Zhang Weixian, who transferred the imperial decree to Zhu Ciran.

With sparkles in Zhu Ciran's eyes, he accepted the imperial decree under the attention of all the officials and the crowd, expressing his acceptance of the canonization, and then the surrounding ceremonies and music started again.

Now, Zhu Ciran is only one step away from officially becoming the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty.

Holding the imperial decree, he walked through the corridor where the guards lined up, until he came to the Cining Palace in the inner palace, and met Liu, the concubine of Emperor Wanli who held the empress dowager's seal, who was the concubine of the dynasty.

Concubine Liu looked at the prince who seemed to have matured overnight, with indescribable love in her heart, and muddy tears in the corners of her wrinkled eyes.

With Concubine Liu's nod and agreement, Zhu Ciran became the crown prince in good name.

After that, he will serve as the official heir apparent of the Ming Dynasty, and start a completely different life in the East Palace from the previous nearly seven years.

"Long live!"

"Long live!!"

Outside Chengtian Gate, all the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion, Gongwei Division, Jinwuwei, as well as the civil servants, generals, eunuchs and eunuchs from all palaces, prisons, six ministries, and the governor's mansion, all sincerely worshiped the ground and shouted loudly.

Its voice resounded through the sky.

Zhu Ciran was on his way to the ancestral temple to worship and sacrifice. People from all over the place stood side by side, vying to see the appearance of the future emperor. The scene was very spectacular.

On the same day, the emperor's second son Zhu Cijiong was canonized as King Ding, and the emperor's eldest daughter Zhu Shu'e was also canonized as Princess Yongding.

When the news came out, firecrackers were set off all over the world to celebrate.

Envoys from various countries came here one after another, and even the Habsburg monarch far away in Europe, Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III also sent congratulatory posts.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know what he wanted to do with this congratulatory post, but he politely asked him, calling him a "friendly Western friend".

……

Liaodong, the important town of Shenyang.

Last month, Huang Taiji, who had been withdrawn from North Korea for more than a year, thought that he had finished his recuperation. In addition, Jianzhou and other places had no crops this year, and many bannermen starved to death, so they sent troops south to invade Mingjing.

It was early autumn, and Huang Taiji led an army of [-] and eight banners. They quietly came to the hills north of Shenyang City, intending to make a surprise attack and capture Shenyang.

As the advancing troops came all the way, in all the cities and forts in Liaodong, no Ming army dared to dispatch, which made them find the feeling of being invincible.

For a time, the crowd was excited, everyone asked for a fight, and morale was extremely high.

When they came to the important city of Shenyang, there was also silence. Huang Taiji was about to send an order to attack the city, when suddenly fire broke out in all directions, and countless people appeared in the south and north of the city.

Under the banner of "Xiong", these people came shouting like a gust of wind.

One of the generals at the head of the city, dressed in mountain armor, was laughing loudly. He was Xiong Tingbi, the current governor of Liaodong. He said:

"Nuyi, don't you know that Liaodong today is no longer the Liaodong of the past!"

Huang Taiji was caught off guard, but retreating at this time was of no help, so he urgently ordered several Baylors to lead the battle.

The sound of killing on the battlefield shook the sky. Relying on the tall city, the Ming army continuously released firecrackers and smashed down rolling wood and thunder stones. The latter Jin army suffered heavy casualties.

At this moment, the sentry from the rear came to report.

"Your Majesty, there are large groups of Ming troops attacking Fushun, Tieling, Kuandian, Liaoyang and other places, and there are tens of thousands of horses in each direction!"

When Huang Taiji heard the words, he suddenly understood.

Xiong Tingbi had known for a long time that he was coming for a surprise attack, and he was playing tricks on them, but in fact he was secretly mobilizing troops to encircle and annihilate him!

Standing at the top of the city, Xiong Tingbi saw that the time had come, and drew out his Shangfang sword: "Soldiers, it's time to kill the captives and serve the country!"

"It's all done in one battle, follow me to kill the captives!"

Xue Laiyin and other Liao generals all shouted: "Kill the captives!"

Afterwards, the city gates of Shenyang opened wide, and countless cavalrymen of the Ming army rumbled out, and there were still dense fires moving in the city!

All around, the Ming army came continuously, and soon chased and intercepted the Eight Banners soldiers outside the city, and divided them into several places, encircling and annihilating each of them, and their morale was high.

All of a sudden, outside the city of Shenyang, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the Eight Banners soldiers cried loudly. All the rhetoric and rhetoric of the war just now disappeared, replaced by the rout of crying father and mother.

All the soldiers of the Eight Banners only hated that they were born with two missing legs in their mother's womb, and they were killed and defeated.

Seeing the whole army disintegrate, Huang Taiji knew that it was hopeless to counterattack, and several Baylor who led the attack beside him were seriously injured, so he had to lead the remnants he could muster and retreat towards the old village.

Chapter 896 Three Happiness in Liao Dynasty

The next morning.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"How's it going?"

Accompanied by a burst of laughter, Xue Laiyin arrived late with several generals from the Liao Army. He looked around and found that Xiong Tingbi was not present, so he relaxed and planned to show off.

First, he sat down, grabbed the bowl from Zuo Liangyu, the guerrilla general of Sanshanbao, and drank the rest of the water in one gulp.

The bowl that was in his hand just now disappeared suddenly, Zuo Liangyu was taken aback for a moment, then he let out a ouch and laughed.

"What's the matter, you kid went out to chase, and you're so thirsty when you come back?"

Zuo Liangyu's immediate superior, Shenyang Commander-in-Chief Man Gui raised his hand and said, "Kunshan, don't talk, I'll see what this guy has to say."

Xue Laiyin giggled, put down the water bowl, but didn't intend to say anything.

All the generals were in a hurry, and Cao Bianjiao, who was on the sidelines, yelled loudly: "I think I didn't catch anything, so I don't have anything to say?"

"Hahahaha." Everyone burst into laughter again.

Xue Laiyin got up immediately, and was about to explain, but when he saw that everyone was silent, the hall became silent in a blink of an eye, and he knew who was coming.

"See Taiwan——!"

"You kid, are you cheating again?" Xiong Tingbi walked in while grinning, sat on the north side without hesitation, and then asked:

"Have you chased down the slave chief?"

Xue Laiyin shook his head, and then his face was full of excitement: "Although I didn't catch up with the slave chief, this battle is really elated!"

"The last general led his troops and chased them from the outskirts of Shenyang, all the way to the city of Fushun. Cooperating with the Fushun defenders, they ruthlessly cut off a group of Tartars' wheat!"

"How many heads were cut off?" Man Gui asked.

"It's three or five thousand at least!" One of Xue Laiyin's generals replied, and Man Gui laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Okay, good fight!"

Xue Laiyin nodded, sat down in the first seat, and said:

"It has to be a good command of Taiwan and Taiwan, let everyone put the slave chiefs in and beat them in circles, and leave a hole for them."

"However, Taitai, are you being too cautious? With Jiannu's current strength, even if he jumped the wall in a hurry, so what?"

Man Gui also put away his smile, and said: "Yes, Taitai, I also think that we should directly trap the slave chief to death in Liaodong this time, it is really cheap for him!"

Cao Wenzhao said: "Now Liaodong has been managed like an iron bucket by us, and the slave chieftains can't get in. When will we go to play your majesty and counterattack Jianzhou!"

As soon as this sentence came out, it was like a stone stirred up a thousand waves.

All the generals got up one after another, one after another, some people still danced and gesticulated, wishing they could enter the old village now, take the head of the slave chieftain, and present it to the capital.

Seeing everyone's behavior, Xiong Tingbi nodded secretly.

People's hearts are available, great things can be expected!

So he cleared his throat, waited for everyone to quiet down, and said: "The governor will truthfully report the military achievements of General Xue to the Holy Majesty. Besides, there are three major happy events today."

All the generals looked at each other when they heard the words, but no one spoke, because they all knew when to joke and when not to interrupt.

Satisfied, Xiong Tingbi raised a finger and said:

"The first joy is our army's great victory in Shenyang, defeating the [-] army of slave chieftains, reward those who deserve credit, and reward those who deserve rewards!"

"Thank you, Supervisor!" All the generals said in unison.

Xiong Tingbi raised his second finger again, "It was the day before yesterday that the crown prince was canonized in this dynasty, and the capital held a grand inauguration ceremony."

"The position of the crown prince is established, and the dynasty is stable. This is not only the joy of our army, but also the joy of His Majesty and Ming Dynasty!"

On the contrary, the generals didn't make as much noise about the appointment of the crown prince as the civil servants of the capital. This group of big bosses didn't seem to understand the significance of Zhu Youxiao's step.

Looking at these generals who fought with him all the year round, Xiong Tingbi was not surprised by their performance, and didn't say much, just raised his third finger.

"The third joy is that our army is about to counterattack and regain the lost ground!"

After saying this, the arena was silent for a while, and then a wave of cheers erupted suddenly. From inside to outside, many Liao soldiers heard it clearly.

"Taitai, is it the will of the capital?"
