Chapter 1086 Enthroned
The size of the prince's army is getting bigger and bigger, and the speed of marching is naturally getting slower and slower...

In this regard, the British public Zhang Fu and others expressed great concern, fearing that King Zhao would take the opportunity to escape.

"Your Highness, once King Zhao goes west, the war may be protracted. We can't afford to support such a huge army!" Zhang Fu persuaded the prince, "We should march quickly to avoid long nights and dreams!"

"Didn't Marquis Anyuan lead his army to Tongzhou?" The crown prince sat in the big tent, much more majestic than before, standing tall and inviolable.

"Marquis Anyuan's troops are not enough to attack the city. Why don't you ask Wei Chen to lead an army and join him in attacking the city together." Zhang Fu said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient," the crown prince shook his head and said with a smile, "Your lonely third brother will definitely be waiting for me in Tongzhou."

"Oh, how did your Highness see it?" Zhang Fu asked in confusion.

"Because Beijing is very close, but the city is deep and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he has no confidence to attack." The prince smiled at Zhang Fu, and conveyed to him a strong self-confidence during the conversation: "And his subordinates and family members are all in Beijing and How could Tongzhou be willing to die with him?"

"The most important thing is that he was the most favored by his father since he was a child. He has never suffered or taken any responsibility," the prince said in a deep voice, "Now that he has been hit repeatedly, I don't believe he still has the courage to start all over again."

"I hope so." Zhang Fu had no choice but to stop persuading, and slowly approached the capital with the prince's army.

.

In Tongzhou City, the generals supported Tian Zihe and retreated, and hurriedly asked the military doctor to treat his broken arm.Looking at Tian Zihe who was almost in a coma, the generals inevitably felt sad for the death of the rabbit and the fox.

"Everyone, what's wrong with the lord? Idiots know that what Lao Tian said is not wrong at all!" Chen Kai stomped his feet and said repeatedly: "The prince's military strength has exceeded 40, and there are 20 forbidden troops in Beijing. There are tens of thousands of horses, fleeing and running away, and it is not enough to put people's teeth, so why don't we just stay here and wait to die!"

"I think the prince is crazy..." the taciturn Ma Shu said quietly.

"..." All the generals nodded in agreement.They had experienced the whole process. Originally, after Zhu Di fell ill, King Zhao had a great chance of winning. The entire capital and the emperor's old life were in his hands. At that time, it seemed that the game was absolutely certain.However, no one expected that in the end, King Zhao was defeated and fled out of the capital in desperation.

King Zhao was not particularly discouraged when he escaped from the capital. After all, he thought he could still occupy Tongzhou and starved the grandson and others in the capital to death. Who knew that all the food in Tongzhou had been transported by Wang Xian Prince, it is not the prince or grandson who is going to starve to death now, but King Zhao himself!

Seeing the prince calling the wind and calling the rain all the way, all the people surrendering, and the army gathering, Zhao Wang completely understood the gap between himself and the prince, and he had no chance of winning if he wanted to wrestle with him!

From yesterday's stable chance of winning to today's no chance of winning, the situation has changed rapidly like a waterfall. No one can accept this gap, and His Highness Zhao Wang does not have the willpower to start all over again, and secondly, he does not have the ability to start all over again. Thinking about it this way, he is crazy It's normal, it's strange not to be crazy!
It's just that everyone originally followed King Zhao because they wanted to rise from the dragon and become the third batch of meritorious princes in the Ming Dynasty. They didn't go crazy and die with him!
"Hey, what should we do..." Chen Kai looked at the sad-faced crowd, and saw that even Gao Zheng, who had the most fiery temper, was there. No one answered, but everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts. s answer……

That night, Liu Qiang and Ma Shu led their troops out of the city and surrendered to the prince.Almost at the same time, Chen Kai led his army to the west... Such a large-scale army going out of the city, of course, would never be able to hide it from Gao Zheng, who was in charge of city defense. At that time, Gao Zheng was drinking too much. Hearing that he just had a belch, he continued to drink strong alcohol until he was as drunk as mud...

.

On the second day, Zhu Gaosui held the "Enthronement Ceremony" in the original Tongzhou government office, officially proclaiming himself emperor.Although the conditions were very simple, and even Shao Yue was played by the band in the Tongzhou brothel, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang still completed every step meticulously, completely immersed in the atmosphere of the ceremony, and fully enjoyed the honor of this moment.

When he was wearing a dragon robe and a crown and sat upright on the throne, he saw that there were only a few servants and civil servants in front of him, so he frowned slightly and asked, "Where did my general go?"

"Here, back to the emperor..." The eunuch bit the bullet and replied: "General Liu and General Ma voted for the crown prince last night, General Chen led the army to go west, General Tian was still seriously injured, General Gao was still hangover... Therefore, everyone Didn't show up."

"Hmph! These warriors are really not enough to rely on," Zhu Gaosui just let out a cold snort, then he stopped paying attention and began to seal the eunuchs and officials in front of him.The civil servants are all at the first level of Shangshu, and all the eunuchs have won the title of governor.

It's just that the eunuchs and officials were "high-ranking officials", but they didn't look excited at all. They seemed to regard their achievements as dung. Of course, they didn't really regard their achievements as dung, but they just regarded such achievements as dung...

Seeing that the prince's army is about to approach the city, is it interesting to play house here?

At least King Zhao, ah no, His Majesty the Emperor found it very interesting, watching the newly-appointed civil servants and military generals talk eloquently and said: "When the world is settled, you will be my hero who will solve the difficulties, and then I will be named Duke and Duke, and hereditary will not replace you! "

The eunuchs and civil servants still stayed there until someone reported it, and then thanked the Lord Long En in a mess.

"Free from courtesy..." Zhu Gaosui motioned to the eunuch at the side, announcing his year name as 'True Dragon'. According to the rules, in order to show respect for the old emperor, it was changed to Yuan in the next year.But Zhu Gaosui didn't intend to wait that long, and decreed to change the yuan immediately.So in Tongzhou City, today is not the Yongle Year, but the sixth day of June in the first year of the True Dragon.

Naturally, the officials below won't object, anyway, it's like playing a house, let him have fun...

Zhu Gaosui then ordered another decree to be given to the late emperor, but before he started to read it, he saw an officer rushing in anxiously, saying loudly, "It's not good, Your Highness!"

"Presumptuous, call Your Majesty!" Zhu Gaosui said with a sinking face, "Next time you dare to call me wrong, I will definitely kill you!"

"Yes, Your Majesty..." The officer choked for a moment, and slandered: "What time is it, and you are still here to be poor!" '

"What's the matter?" Zhu Gaosui asked slowly.

"The prince's army has approached the city! They have surrounded us!" The officer then remembered the business and rushed to report.

"Ah?" Everyone in the hall came up with Qiqing, lamenting in their hearts, 'I can't run away now! '

"What are you panicking about!" Zhu Gaosui stood up calmly, stepped off the dragon chair and said, "Follow me to the top of the city to have a look!"

Everyone hurriedly followed Zhu Gaosui to the gate of the 'Golden Palace', but saw 'His Majesty the Emperor' stopped again.

"Hall...Your Majesty, why don't you leave?" asked the eunuch accompanying him.

"Where is the guard of honor?" Zhu Gaosui asked with a sullen face.

"Ah?!" Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, it's up to you, let's rush to the top of the city as soon as possible!"

"Ridiculous!" Zhu Gaosui said firmly, "I am the Son of Heaven, and my every action must conform to the rules of etiquette. How can people know that the Son of Heaven is traveling without a guard of honor?"

"Hey..." The crowd had no choice but to quickly set up a guard of honor for the 'emperor'. Fortunately, for the enthronement ceremony, they prepared a lot of umbrellas, big fans, pumpkins, axes and axe. The captain's guard of honor.

"It's a mess..." Looking at the mob that didn't conform to the etiquette at all, "His Majesty the Emperor" snorted coldly, reluctantly said nothing, and boarded the jade chariot that was transformed into a sedan chair.

"The emperor drives..." Amidst the eunuchs singing loudly, the bearers carried "His Majesty the Emperor" out of the "Imperial Palace" under the guidance of a guard of honor that looked like a feather duster.

.

The street was full of soldiers and horses, and the people panicked and didn't know where to hide. Suddenly, they heard the sound of gongs beating to open the way. Following the sound, they saw a long procession of honor guards as the leader, and behind them sat on a large sedan chair without a shed. A middle-aged man in a dragon robe.

"Your Majesty is going out, and you will not avoid it!" Zhu Gaosui's "Minister of Civil and Military Affairs" yelled loudly, and someone whipped the people who could not avoid it.

The common people hurriedly wanted to run away, but they were whipped and reprimanded: "You will not kneel when you see Your Majesty!"

The common people are completely dumbfounded now, do you want us to hide or kneel?There must be an accurate word... So some knelt, some hid, and they became headless chickens for a while, and the chaos became a mess.

Zhu Gaosui sat on the 'jade chariot', looking at everything in front of him with a blank expression, not knowing whether he was enjoying it or feeling disgusted...

When he cleared the way with full guard of honor and finally reached the top of the city, the army of more than 40 princes had already completely surrounded Tongzhou City.Standing on the city and looking out of the city, I feel that I am in an isolated island, and outside the isolated island is a vast ocean with no bounds...

At this time, the people on the top of the city really felt that they were so weak...

Standing at the top of the city, Zhu Gaosui was dressed in a yellow robe, looking at the vast crowd below the city, and asked someone to speak to the prince.

The generals in the city didn't dare to be self-reliant, so they hurriedly asked the prince for instructions, but the prince shook his head and said, "I'll have time to sit down and talk face to face, why bother shouting at each other so that the soldiers can see the Tian family's jokes."

Zhu Gaosui waited for a long time at the top of the city, but he didn't wait for the prince to appear. Instead, he saw the prince's army below the city preparing to attack the city.The generals at the top of the city knew that the prince did not want to see Zhu Gaosui, fearing that he would lose his temper, and ordered to attack at all costs.Unexpectedly, "His Majesty the Emperor" just sighed deeply, and retreated from the city.

The generals looked at Zhu Gaosui puzzledly, and could not care about the feeling of "His Majesty the Emperor" in the next moment, because the siege had begun!

Although the prince had many soldiers, he did not attack by force. Taking into account the safety of the people in the city, he did not even use trebuchets to fire guns, but just shot the defenders in the city with firecrackers and bows.But even so, the momentum was astonishing, the rain of arrows roared towards the top of the city like dark clouds, and the sound of firecrackers was like a firecracker on New Year's Eve, deafeningly resounding through the sky!
The defenders at the top of the city had no morale, and they all fled with their heads in their arms. They either curled up and hid under the arrow stacks, or crawled down the top of the city, fleeing as far as they could.
