King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 370 Congratulations to my emperor, Shangyuan is well!
At this moment, outside the Daming Gate, the wide sky street was already filled with people who came to pay their respects.

These people include a wide range of people, ranging from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to traders and foot soldiers. There are even business travelers from the territorial divisions of various vassals, allies, and foreigners from across the sea.

At this moment, countless big lamps were lit on both sides of Tianjie, and the bright moon made the night look bright.

Not only were there lights on the road, but the people present were also holding lights. The scene was like a sea of ​​lights. The combined lighting effect was very good. At least people nearby could see each other's faces clearly.

But at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the tower.

At this moment, the drums have started to sound, and anyone who has done some strategy work knows that this is His Majesty the Emperor ascending the tower.

Well-informed people have even learned that the Emperor will also appear tonight.

On a cold night, many people came here just to get some happiness and nobility. The presence of two Supreme Beings would double the happiness and nobility, which aroused the excitement of everyone on the street.

Especially those who came from afar, it was not easy to squeeze in the front, but now they can still meet the two supreme beings, which will be something they can brag about for the rest of their lives after returning home.

Of course, the so-called "meeting" is just a nice way of saying it. Even if they were standing at the front, about 30 meters away from the Daming Gate, they couldn't see the emperor clearly in the night.

Within 30 meters of Daming Gate, a large number of military soldiers are stationed to ensure absolute safety.

"Yes... Your Majesty... Long Live Your Majesty is here!"

Someone with sharp eyes saw the emperor and couldn't help but speak immediately, which then sparked a frenzy of discussion.

Although there is war now, the Ming Dynasty is still a powerful empire with all the barbarians subdued, and the emperor is the master of the eastern world.

In addition, the royal family of this world has been passed down for more than three hundred years, which brings unparalleled sanctity to the emperor.

No matter what the officials think, in the eyes of most middle- and lower-class people, the emperor is a living god.

So at this moment, when the emperor appeared, some people spontaneously knelt down and worshiped. At the same time, people around him followed, and then a large number of people knelt down.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Even outsiders who don't understand anything know this sentence when bowing to the emperor.

When thousands of people shouted together, the scene instantly became extremely lively, but because of the different ups and downs of the voices, it sounded extra noisy.

Of course, while bowing, everyone focused on the gate tower.

Although they could not see the emperor's face clearly, they could still see the figures of the two supreme beings under the dense lighting on the gate tower.

Everyone saw that it was the emperor who supported the emperor, walked step by step to the center of the gate tower, and finally helped the emperor sit down.

"The Supreme Emperor is sitting with His Majesty standing by his side. My Emperor is truly a benevolent and filial king!"

"In the past, I always listened to villains' lies, but today I know that Your Majesty is truly filial..."

Similar remarks or thoughts appeared in the hearts or lips of many people, and everyone lamented the emperor's filial piety.

After about a few minutes, the stopped drums started playing, and everyone at the scene gradually fell silent.

Everyone knew that the edict would be read out next.

"The Great Edict on the Lantern Festival on the 11th day of the first lunar month in the [-]th year of Orthodoxy..."

On the city tower, a eunuch shouted the name of the edict loudly.

Under the city tower, hundreds of soldiers who had been trained in advance read the words in clear voices, acting as human loudspeakers.

There are similar sergeants from Daming Gate to Zhengyang Gate. They have memorized the contents of the edict in advance. They only need to listen to the prompts and shout them out together to ensure that as many people as possible can hear it.

The people had already knelt down, and now the eunuch continued to read: "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says..."

"Everyone in the world is in trouble and there are all kinds of hardships in the world. I hold them all in my heart and find it hard to calm down..."

"The grass and trees have the feeling of growth, the heaven and the earth have the way of harmony, I have inherited the destiny and hold the magical weapon, how can I want the people to fall into hardship..."

"Today, during the Lantern Festival, the special officers offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth, praying for good weather, peace for the country and peace for the people..."

The content of the edict is detailed and lengthy, but there is only one main content. His Majesty the Emperor prays for the people all over the world. Everyone will live better this year.

"Kin this!"

When these words fell, the people on Tianjie Street suddenly cheered, and at the same time there were shouts of "Thank you, Your Majesty" and "Long live my emperor".On the top of the city tower, listening to the roaring congratulations of the mountains and seas in front of him, Zhu Xianming showed a normal smile, just because everything was going as planned.

He is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the master of the world, and all the people at home and abroad should be kneeling at his feet.

While Zhu Xianming was feeling emotional, his three sons rarely had the same thoughts, and they were all thinking about the position under his buttocks.

At this moment, Zhu Jinghong's words popped into his mind again.

"A man should be like this!"

After about a few seconds, the drums sounded again, which meant that the emperor was about to leave.

The sound of drums was also a signal. At this moment, the fireworks that had been prepared were lit behind and on both sides of Daming Gate. Suddenly the fire shot up into the sky and exploded in the sky to form gorgeous fireworks.

Fireworks continued continuously, making the night look like day, and the atmosphere reached its climax.

"Congratulations to my emperor on your health!"

"Congratulations to my emperor on your health!"

"Congratulations to my emperor on your health!"

After receiving the emperor's blessing, the people naturally wanted to return the favor.

Moreover, today, everyone squeezed in outside Daming Gate with all their strength, originally to congratulate their father on the New Year.

The congratulations changed from chaos to unity, and finally turned into one voice, which seemed to contain endless majestic power and expressed the admiration for His Majesty the Emperor.

This scene shocked the merchants and travelers who were allied with the chieftains of Fanbang. Although they also respected the Ming Emperor, they had never seen the people of the Ming Dynasty being so fanatical.

Driven by the atmosphere, these people who were on the fringes of Ming Dynasty's rule also shouted together in "Chinese" that they were not proficient in.

"Congratulations to my emperor on your health!"

Under this shocking shout, Emperor Zhu Xianming supported his father and disappeared from the tower.

Seeing this, the people at the scene shouted louder and the atmosphere became more and more heated.

"Brother Thirteen!"

On top of the city tower, Zhu Jinghong was planning to leave with the emperor, but when he heard someone calling him, he looked over.

The people who came were Zhu Jingchun and his entourage. Behind him were Zhu Yunsheng and others. They were all on the other side of the tower just now.

After all, only the legitimate princes can serve the emperor, not even the legitimate daughter Zhu Yunsheng.

After greeting Zhu Jingchun and Zhu Jingchun, Zhu Jinghong came to Zhu Yunsheng and asked, "Third sister, are you having fun tonight?"

Just listen to Zhu Yunsheng reply: "It's lively, but it's a bit disappointing to have to go back to the palace now!"

Zhu Jinghong suddenly became alert, and then asked: "Third sister, haven't you had enough fun?"

"Brother Thirteen, look down there...that's where the real excitement comes from. How about we go out and play?"

Upon hearing this outrageous proposal, Zhu Jinghong refused without even thinking.

"Third sister, there are so many people down there, it's too dangerous..."

Before Zhu Jinghong could finish speaking, Zhu Yunsheng rushed to speak: "Since we are not allowed to go out, let's stay on the tower for a while and watch the fireworks... It's always okay!"

The next best thing?Have I been tricked by this girl?

Before Zhu Jinghong could figure it out, Zhu Yunsheng stepped forward and prayed: "Brother Thirteen...you won't refuse my sister's request, right?"

"Third sister, when you return to the palace..."

"Thirteenth Brother, you are going to leave the palace and open a mansion soon. It will be difficult for you and me to get together in the future. Now...could it be that you don't even want to help me with this little favor?" Zhu Yunsheng looked even more miserable.

Although he knew that this girl was acting, seeing how hard she was acting, Zhu Jinghong nodded generously.
