"Fortunately, Gu regained the southeast, captured Nanjing, and restored the Ming Dynasty!"
"I am here alone. I would like to thank everyone for your contribution to the revival of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Thank you so much!"
After Zhu Hongyu finished speaking, the others spoke in reply.
"I don't dare!"
"For the revival of the Ming Dynasty, everything should be done!"
"Your Highness is the key to the revival of the Ming Dynasty. How dare we act arrogantly?"
"..."
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.
"Now that Nanjing has been recovered, we have taken the most solid first step towards the revival of the Ming Dynasty!"
"All the rewards promised by me will be received one by one!"
"Prosperity, wealth, promotion, and nobility. As long as you can make great contributions, I will not be stingy with rewards."
Zhu Hongyu didn't say it explicitly, but his words were equivalent to hinting that some people could start to persuade them to join.
After all, only if he, Zhu Hongyu, goes one step further can he reward them!
Everyone in the hall understood Zhu Hongyu's hint. They were already prepared and began to prepare to persuade him to enter.
There are so many sudden accidents in this world, they are all tacitly understood!
Just like this time, Zhu Hongyu had already hinted that his subordinates could start preparations!
To give another example, in history, Zhao Kuangyin was decorated with a yellow robe and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
Was it really Lao Zhao who made that thing because he was coerced by his subordinates?
That's nonsense!
If there is no explicit hint from Lao Zhao, add tacit approval, and add fuel to the flames.
Who dares to break into Zhao Kuangyin's tent late at night?
Do you really think that Zhao Kuangyin's personal guards are just decorations?
To put it bluntly, this is a tacit thing.
It's just that Lao Zhao wants to save face, saying that it's not him who wants to be the emperor, but his subordinates who want him to be the emperor, so he lets his subordinates take the blame.
That's all!
Zhu Hongyu is doing the same now, hinting that his subordinates are ready to persuade him to join.
Zheng Chenggong was the first to stand up. He was wearing a prince's python robe, he was full of energy and spoke in a loud voice.
"Your Highness, I have something to report!"
Seeing this, Zhu Hongyu's eyes lit up and he spoke.
"speak!"
Zheng Chenggong cleared his throat, raised his head and raised his chest and spoke.
"Your Highness complied with the destiny, raised troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty, save our country, and restore the Ming Dynasty!"
“We have been fighting hard for many years, working tirelessly to save the country and the country!”
"Fortunately, the soldiers used their lives and the world returned to its heart. Now, under the leadership of His Royal Highness Jianguo, we, the Ming Dynasty, are marching north to the south of the Yangtze River and regaining our old capital. This is truly a great achievement!"
"I also ask Your Highness to ascend the throne and succeed the emperor, so as to rectify the orthodoxy of the world and bring peace to the world!"
After Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, he knelt on the ground with a bang, his forehead touching the ground, and asked Zhu Hongyu to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
After Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, the others also spoke to persuade him.
"Please invite His Royal Highness Jianguo to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor and succeed to the throne!"
"Please invite His Royal Highness Jianguo to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor and succeed to the throne!"
"..."
Although Zhu Hongyu was tempted and wanted to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, he did not agree rashly.
Three concessions and three concessions!
I understand everything!
Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath and just said.
"No!"
"Now that the world is not at peace, the old capital has not been restored, and the tombs of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty are still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, if I ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor now, how can I be worthy of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty?"
When he spoke, his tone was firm.
Then, immediately after that, someone else stood up to persuade us to come in.
Shi Yongxin, Liu Shantai, Li Guangyuan, Xia Yuankui, Ma Sancai, Liu Tongwen...
A large number of old people in the court began to persuade him to enter.
"Your Highness is a member of the Ming Dynasty clan and the only hope for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. Why can't you ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor?!"
"His Royal Highness led the troops to defeat the Qing invaders, regained the southeast, and took control of Nanjing. With such great achievements, how can he not be crowned emperor?"
"I also ask Your Highness to ascend to the throne of emperor for the sake of the people of the world and the Ming Dynasty!"
"..."
But Zhu Hongyu still shook his head.
After three concessions and three concessions, this was only the second time, so he definitely couldn't agree to it all at once.
Zhu Hongyu still wants to show some face.
"No, no!"
"A man with little talent and little virtue cannot succeed to the throne of the emperor!"
After the second resignation, everyone looked straight, knowing that the meaty drama was about to come.
Zhu Hongyu probably wouldn't refuse the next attempt to persuade him to join.
emperor!
This is the emperor!
Lord of the world, Son of Heaven!
It will be born under their persuasion.
Eyes focused on Zhu Hongyu, and everyone spoke in unison.
"Your Highness, please obey the destiny of heaven, respond to the people's hearts, succeed to the throne, and ascend to the throne of emperor!"
"Your Highness, please obey the destiny of heaven, respond to the people's hearts, succeed to the throne, and ascend to the throne of emperor!"
"..."
Zhu Hongyu's eyes wandered around the Fengtian Palace, scanning everyone's faces, and then he spoke.
"In this case, then I will respect the Heavenly Patriarch and ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!"
When he finished speaking, almost everyone in the entire hall bowed in unison and spoke.
"I bow to your majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The sound spread outside the palace. The officials outside the palace and the guards on duty also knelt down and kowtowed. The shouts shook the heaven and earth.
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
The mountain call even reached outside the palace, and wherever the sound passed, almost everyone immediately knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the palace.
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
"..."
In Nanjing, many elderly people burst into tears unconsciously.
"Emperor, our Ming Dynasty has another emperor!"
"Old Ancestor, I, the Ming Emperor, have ascended the throne in Nanjing again!"
"..."
In their view, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne in Nanjing and proclaimed himself emperor, and then made a northern expedition to the Central Plains to regain the mountains and rivers.
Now that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has ascended the throne in Nanjing and proclaimed himself emperor, is it still far away from the Northern Expedition to regain the mountains and rivers?
…
Zhu Hongyu squinted his eyes, enjoying the feeling of the mountains roaring and the tsunami responding.
This is not the first time he has felt the sweet taste of power!
But this is the first time he has enjoyed cheers as an emperor.
He finally understood why so many people throughout the ages have desperately wanted to be emperors!
This feeling of having great power and having all the people in the world and the lives and deaths of countless people depending on just one thought is really unforgettable.
When the emperor is angry, it is no joke to lay down millions of corpses and flood the oars with blood!
Since Zhu Hongyu started his army, almost a million people have died directly or indirectly at his hands.
He said that the emperor was so angry that he laid down millions of corpses, which was not an exaggeration but a realism!
This feeling of having great power is really intoxicating!
When the mountain's cries stopped, Zhu Hongyu began to issue edicts.
The first is to prepare for the enthronement ceremony!
Zhu Hongyu has only accepted the persuasion and will officially proclaim himself emperor after the enthronement ceremony is over.
The reason why Wu Sangui ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor was in such a hurry that he didn't even hold a ceremony for his enthronement, so he changed the reign name.
That was entirely because when Wu Sangui ascended the throne, Guan Ningjun was still facing tremendous external pressure.
