Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 76

Now the tens of thousands of Chuzhou generals present were completely confused, especially Huang Degong and others' brains were short-circuited instantly, what?He is the emperor?They look alike, but how is it possible?Why is the emperor dressed like this to pretend to be a general in the Chinese army?When did the emperor become unrivaled in martial arts?For a moment, these people's minds were full of question marks.

At this time, Li Guofu, who was kneeling, spoke with a rooster voice again, "The saint is here, and you still don't pay homage to the king, what do you want to do?"

"How long will you wait if you don't kowtow to see the emperor?" Zheng Hongkui, Zu Hai and others also shouted.

In the feudal era, the word "emperor" was too warding off evil spirits. No matter you were a nobleman, a nobleman, or an imperial teacher, let alone a scholar, farmer, gentry or businessman, even the emperor's own father and second uncle would be in need of beggars.

Therefore, the knees of these Chuzhou generals trembled a little, but Qiu Yue, Zhang Jie, Huang Ming, Chen Xiance and other generals, deputy generals, generals, partial generals, junior generals, guerrillas, etc. still seemed to be hesitant, look at me , I see you, looking at a loss.

Seeing that these people were still hesitating, Zhu Yousong had no choice but to use his trump card. Youdao relied on the seal of the clerk in private, especially since he had concealed the identity of the emperor just now and pretended to be a little-known general in the Chinese army. He also said that he is the emperor, although so many people with qualifications and status are willing to kneel down to testify for him, but there is no evidence for him, he must come up with something convincing, fortunately, he has already prepared it.

Zhu Yousong took out a scroll of yellow silk from his bosom, "Don't you want the imperial decree, the imperial decree is for this!" He said to Li Guofu, "Preach the decree."

"Slaves lead the decree." Li Guofu got up on his stomach, bowed and came to Zhu Yousong, took the yellow silk scroll with both hands and held it above his head, then stepped back a few steps, turned slowly, and faced these Chuzhou soldiers. Dare to stand up straight.

Li Guofu carefully opened the scroll of Huang Ling, and the factory fans held up the torches, shining like daylight. Li Guofu also intentionally let them see the authenticity of the imperial decree, and showed them the imperial decree in reverse. Now I can see clearly, those who are close can see the content of the decree clearly, and those who are far away can't see the content clearly, but the yellow silk scroll and the jade seal with the red pen are impressively visible, and it really is a genuine imperial decree!

Then there is no doubt that Zhu Tian in front of him is the emperor, no wonder the gods abdicate as soon as he speaks, how can a young general in the Chinese army be so courageous?Zhu Tian, ​​yes, the 300-year foundation of the Ming Dynasty has always been the emperor with the surname Zhu. Who would dare to call him this name?Some people suddenly realized that they had already knelt down when their legs softened.

Plop, plop, people knelt down continuously, like doing assembly work, and after a while, tens of thousands of Chuzhou generals, including Huang Degong and those deputy generals of the general army, such as Pian Canyou, knelt down.

Kneeling is kneeling down, but Huang Degong's heart is full of ups and downs. Now he is not only in awe of the emperor, but also has a deep-rooted admiration for the strong, but he also knows that he must be in trouble, and it is disrespectful to welcome the holy messenger late , I fought with the emperor again just now, and I was still cursing endlessly, I must be executed by Ling Chi, and the nine families must be wiped out...

Under the night sky, under the light of torches, around Zhu Yousong, a large area fell to their knees in blackness. This scene was also quite spectacular.

Zhu Yousong nodded in relief, and smiled slightly, as if he had won a big battle and found the feeling of Emperor Gao and Emperor Hongwu back then.

"Under the imperial decree!" Standing next to the emperor, Li Guofu's big belly stretched out, his small breasts grew high, he cleared his hoarse voice, and began to read out the decree.

The general meaning of this decree is: according to the emperor's decree, Taizu took Huaixi cloth clothes to establish the country for nearly [-] years, the world is peaceful, and all people work happily.However, in recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued. There are thieves inside and Tartars outside. With no fighting spirit, trespassers caused chaos in Jifu, the first emperor was humiliated and killed, the people were devastated, and the people were struggling in water and fire.

I ascended the throne in the face of danger, and told the heaven to accept the order. Only by taking drastic measures to eradicate the disease, punishing rape and eradicating evil, rejuvenating the country and strengthening the army, can we drive out the Tartars, secure the people's livelihood inside, and make the people of the celestial dynasty respect their appearance and establish the country.In the past two months, I have tried my best, cleaned the factory guards, and eradicated the Ma and Ruan poisonous Liu. The rebellion of the treacherous party in the capital has just stopped, but the border town army will be arrogant and lawless. Our Ming army and civilians will soon become meat on the chopping board. I can't let the foundation of our ancestors be ruined, and we can live in the southeast, and let you and others lose their families and lose their businesses. We must clean up military discipline, strengthen the country internally, and defend against its humiliation externally. Settling the Central Plains and recovering the Ming Dynasty can only be worthy of the spirit of the ancestors in heaven.

Today, the loyal and courageous heart of the marshal who has won the merits still exists, and I am very relieved.From now on, if I can eliminate bandits, relieve my worries, plead for the people's life, and seek the bandits' borders, I will definitely ignore the previous suspicions and entrust them with important tasks, then the country and the people will be very lucky.As for the matter of food and wages, I will definitely say that the law will follow, and it will increase and never decrease. This is it!
Hundreds of words are eloquently written in this great imperial decree, with a heart full of concern for the country and the people, full of bloody spirit, the will to strengthen the country against thieves, and the emperor's grace is as mighty as the sky. On paper, the effect is undoubtedly deafening.

In particular, Huang Degong never dreamed that the emperor would pardon his heinous crimes in decree. It seems that His Majesty has already planned and knows his actions and inactions in Chuzhou area well. Your Majesty not only does not punish the crime, but also entrusts him with a heavy responsibility, even Yao and Shun are not as good as it!Huang Degong was so moved that he burst into tears and couldn't believe his ears.

At this time, Li Guofu finished reading the decree, and said together: "Yingguo Gong Huang has received the decree!"

"The criminal minister Huang Degong received the order..." Huang Degong walked on his knees, and was so moved that he burst into tears. He felt that even if he was so heartbroken in this life, he would not be able to repay the emperor's kindness. ... go through fire and water, and do whatever it takes..." After receiving the imperial decree, he lay down on the ground and kowtowed.

Combining the experience before the time travel with the memory of this body, Zhu Yousong knows this Yasukuni Gong quite well. Not only did Bosom not punish him for his crimes, but he was entrusted with the heavy responsibility of reinstating him as an official, with both kindness and power, Zhu Yousong's strong medicine was just right.

After Huang Degong received the decree, he was so grateful that he could only swear allegiance to the emperor to the death.

Subduing Huang Degong is tantamount to holding his 8 army firmly in his hands.In addition, Zhu Yousong beheaded Tian Xiong and Ma Degong, the two general officers in public, with sufficient reasons, which undoubtedly had the effect of killing chickens and monkeys. They all became Zhu Yousong's diehard loyalists.
