Chapter 89: The Persuasion of the Clan Princes to Enter
Early in the morning, seven or eight princes and princes, dressed in royal robes, walked out of the house in a swaggering manner. Then, under the protection of their personal guards, they got on carriages with their entourage and left in a grand manner.
When they entered Nanjing this time, the princes may not have brought all the eating and drinking utensils, but they did have all the signboards and honor guards.
In this way, the people of Nanjing will gain knowledge.
The prince's honor guard, the county king's honor guard, a team of hundreds or thousands of people, playing vocal music and playing cards, it was so lively.
The extremely wide street was once again occupied. Along the way, people looked through windows, door cracks, and even climbed onto the roof, as if watching the scenery.
In this way, the vast team passed through almost half of the inner city of Nanjing and arrived at the temporary residence of King Yu.
"In the Jiashen disaster, the country fell, and the ancestral legacy was lost. The King of Yu rose from the duckweed, defeated the intruders and washed away the disgrace of the late emperor, expelled the traitors and provided relief to the people of Sichuan..."
"We, the descendants of the Zhu family, sincerely request His Royal Highness to ascend the throne and save the people of the Northern Kingdom from water and fire——"
King Rui said so much in one breath, his chubby face was a little breathless, and then he knelt down and kowtowed loudly.
At this time, the old King Chu who was supported also knelt down tremblingly.
Then, King Qin, King Xiang, King Jing, King Yi, King Yongshou, King Yucheng, etc. also knelt down one by one.
The prince wears a leather bean, which is covered with black gauze. The prince has nine seams, and nine colorful jade beads are used in the front and back of each seam.
The king's leather bean has seven seams, and seven three-color jade beads are used on the front and back of each seam, all corresponding to the crown.
The lower body is wearing a crimson gauze robe and a red dress, which makes her look extremely solemn.
This is second only to the crown gown.
A dozen clan members knelt in front of the door crying, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Regarding this, Zhu Yixi naturally couldn't keep people waiting for a long time and walked out slowly.
Wearing the same leather bean suit, he trotted all the way out of the gate. When he saw all the princes and princes, he couldn't help but be moved and said:
"Zhu Yixi is really useless!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly helped everyone up.
But everyone still couldn't kneel or stand up.
The stubborn old man, the 70-year-old King of Chu, Zhu Huabi, burst into tears, crying like an old child:
"The old man has lived for more than seventy years, and Emperor Shenzong is so powerful in the world. He never thought that now, his family will be destroyed, his clan will be separated, the Ming Dynasty will fall, and the foundation left by Grandpa Taizu will be gone in the blink of an eye——"
At this point, the crying and howling became louder and louder.
The princes and princes on the side could not help but be infected, their eyes were red, and they shed tears on the bricks.
After all, these people feel really aggrieved.
Being imprisoned in the mansion is like a breeding pig. When I go out to visit the tombs in the city during Qingming Festival, I still have to report, so I can only enjoy it endlessly.
That's it. It has been like this for more than 200 years. Who would have thought that in their generation, their wives and children would be separated and they would leave their homes.
Whether they were intruders, Western thieves, or Manchus, they all raised their butcher's knives against them.
Now he was forced to come to Nanjing again. It seemed that he would have to live under the emperor's eyes for the rest of his life. His life was getting more and more hopeless.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help the wailing in my heart.
Of course, King Rui's mood was even more intense.
Looking at the crowd, I felt as if someone had bitten me in my heart.
How do you understand the pain of lineage transfer?
Originally, the throne was their family's property, but he had to eagerly give it to others and beg them to accept it.
Who can feel this kind of frustration?
Zhu Yixi saw all the people in royal robes crying together, and the decrepit King Chu was crying, which made those who heard it sad and those who saw it shed tears.
"Very good, this is what everyone expected!"
Zhu Yixi felt very excited, and the intense emotions were constantly impacting her brain.
"Thanks to the King of Yu for regaining control of the country and the country, our clan was able to escape the disaster, and even the remaining capital was restored. The inheritance of our ancestors has been preserved for the time being."
King Rui hurriedly patted the old King Chu, fearing that he would cry and be angry, which would be outrageous if someone died.
After watching him take a few breaths, King Lao Rui raised his head, his round and white face full of expectation:
"The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the Zhu family cannot be without a master for a day. I hope the prison country will take pity on us——"
"I hope the prison country will take pity on us—"
The kings followed suit, kowtowed their heads one by one, and shouted in unison.
Zhu Yixi felt very hypocritical.
Obviously at this time, he was very willing to accept it, but he still had to show his refusal: "Absolutely not, this kid is just a estranged family member, how can he ascend the throne and become emperor!"
King Rui endured the discomfort and couldn't help but said loudly: "In times of peace, it is natural to follow the orders of our ancestors, but now that the world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits, the throne is for the virtuous!"
"His Royal Highness Jianguo has outstanding achievements and high moral standing. He is the best candidate for the throne——"
"No, no, please forgive me for being rude, but I cannot obey my order!"
With that said, he hid in the house impatiently, with rejection written all over his steps.
The kings raised their heads, their emotions had gone away and they had finished crying. They could only raise their heads stupidly and look at King Rui in the center.
King Rui saw that the old King Chu was panting, and he hurriedly asked someone to help him down to see the doctor, and said to everyone:
"Keep kneeling -"
As he said that, he stuck his butt out, lowered his head and knelt down.
The kings were scolded in their hearts and had no choice but to follow.
Having enjoyed all their glory and wealth, except when they were fleeing for their lives, how could they have suffered such suffering?
But there is no other way.
Three concessions and three concessions must be done.
Zhu Yixi ran in quickly. This feeling was really amazing.
The kings of the past, no matter how proud they were before, must now kneel down and plead for their inheritance.
This is the most noble group of people in Ming Dynasty!
Power is really fascinating.
On the other side, kings marched forward, ceremonial guards were lined up, and vocal music sounded, thick and penetrating, making people's hearts tremble.
Such a huge sound also broke through the layers of walls and reached the nearby prison.
Similar to an ordinary prison, the imperial prison seems more luxurious.
The straw is dry, the window holes are bright, the food is edible, there is no crying, it is quiet and harmonious.
After being imprisoned for several days, Qian Qianyi figured out his joints and seemed very calm.
It's just that this too hard life has made him unkempt and his complexion looks much worse.
"What is this sound?"
Suddenly, there were waves of faint sounds coming from his ears, which were very clear and obvious.
When Zhao Zhilong heard the words, he also raised his head, remained silent for a while, and said: "It should be the sound of a guard of honor, and there are many people together."
"When can we go out?"
Duke Xu Wenjue of Wei pursed his thin lips, raised his head and asked.
"Wait!"
Qian Qianyi gave him a disappointed look.
At this time, the jailer noticed them talking and came over:
"That is the ceremonial guard of the kings, who went to persuade King Yu to enter."
"Encouraging entry?"
This time, everyone woke up instantly from their groggy state.
Is King Yu going to ascend the throne?
Qian Qianyi gritted his teeth, I should have had a share of the credit.
