Chapter 1239 The Final Chapter: Dawn of the Glorious Age
Chapter 1239 The Final Chapter: Dawn of Prosperity
Unlike the monarchs and ministers in the palace who shared the same hatred and wanted to eat Wang Xian, the soldiers and people in the capital had different opinions.
Some people scolded Wang Xian for being crazy and crazy. The emperor had already agreed to all his conditions, but he still wanted to do this.
But some people say that this matter is too strange, because Wang Xian was also poisoned at the same time. If he was poisoned, he couldn't be poisoned as well, right?
Moreover, it was the emperor who proposed drinking, and he also brought out the wine. Could it be that Wang Xian could have predicted the situation and hid the poison in his body in advance?
In short, everything was said, but there was no one-sided condemnation of Wang Xian...
.
But no matter what, the morale of Wang Xianjun has fallen into a low ebb, the coach has been poisoned, and his life or death is unknown. It is impossible for the military morale to remain shaken!
At this time, Chengshan Hou Wang Tong actually led an army of 80,000 people to leave Juyongguan and rushed back to the capital at starry night.
At the same time, tens of thousands of King Qin's troops in Henan, as well as King Zhu Mo of Shen in Luzhou, King Zhu Jiyin of Yi in Luoyang, and King Zhu Meigui of Jin all led their armies to the vicinity of Daxing, forming a coalition of hundreds of thousands. They only waited for the follow-up King Qin's army and the feudal lords. When the king arrives, he wants to fight against the rebels together!
The city of Tongzhou was in turmoil, and the soldiers simply couldn't accept it. In the blink of an eye, it went from sweeping the world to being besieged on all sides. Everyone knew that all this was because their coach fell...
On the fifth day after Wang Xian was poisoned, a group of people who had traveled a lot opened the closed gate of Tongzhou City.
Zhang Yi, who was guarding the city, saw a familiar face among the visitors and couldn't help shouting: "Xue Huan!"
That person turned out to be Xue Huan, who was sent to Annan by Wang Xian!
Xue Huan, whose face was covered with scars, forced a smile, gave Zhang Yi a heavy blow, and whispered: "I brought a miracle doctor, hurry up and see your Excellency!"
"Okay." Zhang Yi immediately took them into the government office, passed through layers of guards, and arrived outside a room full of medicinal smell.
Wu Wei and Xianyun were guarding the door. When they saw one of the people coming, the former shouted in surprise: "Dad, you are really not dead yet!"
The so-called miracle doctor was naturally Dr. Wu. He was very happy to see his son, but when he heard this, he almost twisted his nose and snorted: "With a son like you, I am not far away from death!" After that, he stopped. Wu Wei, who was speechless, opened the curtain and went into the inner room.
Then Doctor Wu was stunned. He saw medicine boiling on the charcoal stove in the room, and His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan, whose life was in danger, was actually sitting cross-legged on the kang, concentrating on playing backgammon with Erhei opposite him...
"Ahem!" Dr. Wu was out of breath again and coughed twice. Wang Xian turned around when he heard the sound and said with a surprised smile: "Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, I hope you are back!"
"Yes, uncle, if you don't come back, the prince will not be able to leave this house." Erhei jumped off the kang and gave up his seat to Doctor Wu.
"I know you are a cunning kid, and you can't be stupid enough to drink alcohol." Doctor Wu finally let go of his worries and sat opposite Wang Xian. He looked at his face carefully and saw that his face was slightly blue. Wu The doctor frowned and said, "Or are you poisoned?"
"Hey..." Wang Xian sighed and said, "I just held it in my mouth for a while, I didn't expect the poison to be so strong..."
Doctor Wu took Wang Xian's pulse, breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, I will prescribe you some antidote potions to ensure that you can continue to cause harm to the world..." After saying this, Doctor Wu said incredulously: "How did you do it? Guess the poison in the wine?"
On the way here, Doctor Wu had already understood what had happened in detail. A veteran like himself would have been deceived by the emperor, but he didn't expect that Wang Xian was still vigilant.
Wang Xian's eyes were filled with pain, and he obviously didn't want to recall the situation that day. After a long time, he sighed and said: "Actually, I was not careful at all at first, but when I saw the pair of gold cups, I suddenly thought of something, and I drank the wine.
Hold it in your mouth and spit it out by wiping your mouth.”
"What are you talking about?" Erhei and Doctor Wu asked in unison.
"You will drink from the golden cup together, but you will not be spared with the sword..." Wang Xian said slowly.
"What do you mean?" Erhei stared at One Eye, confused.
Doctor Wu showed his original expression and explained softly: "This is what Emperor Taizu said to Ru Taisu back then. The golden cup is in front and the white blade is behind. What do you mean?"
"Ah, that's it..." Erhei suddenly realized.
"It's all your usual stupid face," Doctor Wu looked at Wang Xian, shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Let Emperor Hongxi forget that you were once elected..."
Wang Xian said with a gloomy expression: "In any case, the charge of regicide has been pinned on me, and I am the emperor who once showed great kindness to me. It is a foregone conclusion that I will not be popular in the world."
"That's not necessarily the case." Doctor Wu shook his head and said with a smile: "I have a medicine that can cure the disease... I just don't know if you are willing to use it?"
"Do I have any choice?" Wang Xian let out a long sigh.
.
In the afternoon of that day, the good news that Doctor Wu had rescued Wang Xian spread throughout Tongzhou City. The soldiers immediately swept away the gloom and cheered into the sky!
When Daxing's Qinwang Allied Forces heard the news, they broke camp overnight and retreated into the city of Beijing without checking it...
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Xian supported his "sick body" and led 10,000 cavalry to the southeast. Two days later, he arrived at Dagokou, 200 miles away.
On the seaside of Dagukou, countless large ships and large ships were docked quietly at the pier. Tens of thousands of Ming army soldiers, whose military uniforms were slightly different from those of the Central Plains, were patrolling and on guard. When they saw Xue Huan appear, they immediately saluted respectfully and called them generals. These
Naturally, it was the troops brought back by Xue Huan from the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi.
"It's a pity that the journey is too far, and I can't help you at all." Xue Huan sighed with infinite regret. As soon as he received Wang Xian's order, he immediately led his people on the ship and returned, drifting at sea for more than a month, until they arrived
In Tianjin, it is time for the two armies to negotiate peace...
"Don't worry, we won't be able to fight without you." Wang Xian chuckled and saw a wrinkled and thin monk walking down from the battleship accompanied by Chang Mao and Huai En.
Wang Xian hurriedly stepped forward and led the crowd to greet him respectfully: "I will respectfully welcome your Majesty!"
That monk turned out to be Zhu Yunwen, who had disappeared for many years. Seven years ago, he was sent to Jiaozhi by Wang Xian, thinking that he could finally get rid of the entanglement of fate and spend the rest of his life peacefully in the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng in the ends of the world.
Who knows, I still can't escape...
Looking at Wang Xian, Chang Mao, Hua En, Doctor Wu, Zhu Yun sighed sadly and said: "Let you go as far as you want, I just want to return to Jiaozhi as soon as possible..."
Doctor Wu and Chang Mao couldn't help but look ashamed. They themselves also knew that seeking to restore the country was no longer for Emperor Jianwen, but to end their lifelong obsession.
.
In any case, Wang Xiandu took up the banner of Emperor Jianwen and suddenly became a loyal minister who endured humiliation and heavy burdens for Emperor Jianwen's restoration. In this way, whether he killed Zhu Di or Zhu Di's son, it became an act of loyalty. Again
No need to bear those heavy infamy...
In Beijing, all the princes and ministers turned pale when they heard that Wang Xian was raising the banner of Emperor Jianwen.
What they relied on was nothing more than Zhu Ming's orthodoxy! But Emperor Jianwen was the heir established by Emperor Taizu! And the throne that Zhu Zhanjuan sat on was taken from Jianwen by his grandfather Zhu Di who rebelled! As soon as they came out, the title of rebellious ministers and traitors fell on their heads...
Seeing that the ministers were confused, Zhu Zhanqi laughed loudly and said: "The king's thief is at the end of his rope, and he actually came up with such a dirty trick! Just find any cat or dog and pretend to be Zhu Yunzhen."
Several vassal kings were relatively aloof. After hearing this, they asked: "Your Majesty, do you have evidence to prove that this Zhu Yunwen is a fake?"
"Of course I have!" Zhu Zhanjuan said in a deep voice full of confidence: "Before Emperor Daxing left, he told me that the real Emperor Jianwen had been found by the emperor a long time ago. Now he is secretly locked up in Qingshou Temple. How could he escape? Going to Tongzhou?"
"That's right! It's so good!" The princes and ministers breathed a sigh of relief, but also said a little worriedly: "Your Majesty, please bring him over quickly, verify his identity, and put him in the right perspective!"
"This is how it should be!" Zhu Zhanquan issued an order and ordered Dongchang to bring Zhu Yunwen from Qingshou Temple.
King Shen Zhu Mo had met Jianwen. When he saw the old monk with a weathered face, he put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "You can't be wrong, it's him!"
Before the ministers could laugh out loud, they heard the monk laugh and say: "Idiot. The poor monk is the emperor's substitute. He has deceived you for so many years. Now that the real dragon has been born, my merits have been fulfilled."
Zhu Zhanjun and others were immediately stunned.
.
Although the imperial court in Beijing would not admit that Emperor Jianwen of Tongzhou was real in any case. But at this time, the Jianwen Dynasty was only more than 20 years ago, and there were still a large number of old people and young people still alive. When these people heard that Zhu Yunwen was back, no matter what the truth was, They all came to have a look, so they went to Tongzhou one after another and asked to see Jianwen.
Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to come out to meet them. Seeing these old ministers, he was also very emotional. When he told them about the old days, those people were convinced immediately and knelt in front of Jianwen, crying with tears...
The truth is the truth, and it will only become truer and truer. It didn’t take long for the people of the world to accept that he was the true grandson of Emperor Taizu and the legitimate Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
In the eyes of the people of the world, the country originally belonged to Emperor Jianwen, and it is natural to take it back now. Of course, Zhu Di's regime has been established for more than 20 years, and there is no shortage of supporters, especially those who persecuted the old officials of Jianwen and carried out the partition Those who had stolen their property would naturally never want to see Jianwen restored to the country, and would not dare to side with the Beijing court no matter what.
In any case, it no longer matters who is right and who is not, it all depends on strength.
In fact, this means that everyone in the world is on Jianwen's side, because there is no suspense about the outcome of both sides at this moment...
Although the imperial court in Beijing has many troops, the vassal kings and Qin Wang troops in various places have stood still and dare not take another step closer to Beijing. They can only rely on the half-million troops in the city...
Although Tongzhou City only has an army of 70,000 or 80,000 people, no one dares to lead troops to fight, no matter Wang Tong or the several vassal kings who came to visit King Qin, they are all huddled motionless in Beijing City.
What's even worse is that with Wang Xian's army outside the city, food from various places cannot be transported to Beijing. There are hundreds of thousands more mouths to eat in the capital, and food is soon cut off. The soldiers and civilians in the city can only eat grass roots and wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. …
The soldiers and civilians didn't have much objection to Wang Xian who besieged Beijing. After all, the two armies were fighting, and the siege was the proper intention. What they hated was the emperor and the princes and ministers who didn't care about their own life and death. These guys had enough to eat all day long and didn't have to worry about starvation. , but the people are starving to death!
When Liu Sheng led his army of hundreds of thousands back to the pass from Zijing Pass where Zhang Wu and Liu Zijin were in charge, they rushed to join Wang Xian. Wang Xian finally began to attack Beijing.
How could the defenders, who had lost their morale and become disloyal, fight to the death with them? Some soldiers and civilians even secretly sabotaged the city defenses and helped Wang Xian attack the city. Seeing that the situation was over, the princes and ministers in the city could not sit still, and took advantage of the chaos of the defenders. , secretly contacted the outside of the city, opened the Chaoyang Gate, and let Wang Xian's army enter the city.
When he learned in the imperial city that the outer city had been breached, Zhu Zhanquan sat in the Qianqing Palace piled with firewood and wanted to immolate himself to die for the country. Empress Dowager Zhang tried hard to persuade him not to do stupid things. Zhu Zhanquan said that if Zhu Yunwen could do anything, I It can be done. Empress Dowager Zhang sighed: "He didn't burn himself to death, but he stayed in Tongzhou peacefully!"
Zhu Zhanquan was stunned when he heard this. He no longer had the courage to set himself on fire and asked the eunuch to spread the word, hoping to surrender honorably.
Wang Xian accepted Zhu Zhankun's surrender, quickly stabilized the situation in the capital, and transported grain from Tongzhou. The people cried with joy while holding the white rice, and all their resentment towards Wang Xian flew away...
After cleaning up the palace, Wang Xian respectfully invited Emperor Jianwen to Beijing. In fact, Zhu Yunwen didn't want to step into Beijing at all. This was the place where Zhu Di made his fortune, and every city brick carried a strong aura of King Yan. Maybe some people would have the desire to take revenge. It was a pleasure, but Zhu Yunwen only felt uncomfortable all over. He wished he could finish the monkey show quickly so that he could go back to the mountain temple in Jiaozhi...
But since the day he burned down the imperial palace in Jinling and fled to the end of the world, he has been enveloped in the will of others and can't help it. At this moment, sitting on the dragon chair again, he can still only act according to the pre-written script. A drama that belongs to others.
In February of that year, Zhu Yunwen issued a decree to restore the throne and change the country's name to "Zhengtong".
On the same day, Zhu Yunwen issued an order to confer Wang Xian the title of King of De, and named his ancestors of three generations. He also appointed Wang Xian as the Grand Governor, the governor of the military and military affairs of the world.
The next day, Zhu Yunwen issued the third decree, ordering the military power of the vassal kings in the world to be eliminated, and ordering the vassal kings from all over the world to live in the capital within a time limit.
More than twenty princes, nearly a hundred princes, and tens of thousands of clans from various places were in an uproar. Immediately, more than a dozen princes rebelled and wanted to imitate the Qing Dynasty...
When military intelligence arrived in Beijing, Zhu Yunwen used the excuse of being unwell and ordered King De to supervise the government affairs and take over the military and political power as regent. He actually ignored the minister's dissuasion and continued to be a monk at Qingshou Temple...
Wang Xian immediately sent five generals, Mo Wen, Liu Sheng, Zhang Yi, Xue Huan, and Deng Xiaoxian, each with 20,000 troops, to go to various places to suppress the rebellion. Those useless princes of the Zhu family, who are these tiger and wolf warriors? Opponent. Within half a year, all the rebellions were put down, and the rebellious princes and the clans who colluded with them were gradually escorted back to the capital.
When they returned to the army, Mo Wen and others took the remaining princes of the clan back to the capital. The princes and princes of the clan who had been causing harm to the local area for nearly sixty years were finally wiped out. The officials and the people of the world were all celebrating. The army Wherever he went, the gentry and the common people greeted him, which shows how unpopular these parasites are!
Wang Xian's move can be described as killing four birds with one stone. First, he won the hearts of the world. Second, he eliminated the hidden dangers of the sect. Third, he saved half of the treasury expenditure. Fourth, he cleared the obstacles for his next step...
In the twelfth lunar month of the first year of Zhengtong, Zhu Yunwen came out of the temple and ordered to add nine tins to Wang Xian. Now even a fool understood that the emperor was going to abdicate the throne to King De...
Many people began to come forward to persuade them to move forward, but Wang Xian remained unmoved and devoted all his energy to the implementation of a series of policies such as restoring production, encouraging industry and commerce, lifting the maritime ban, and abolishing household registration.
These policies were Wang Xian's carefully considered measures in response to the shortcomings he had personally experienced for more than ten years. They can be said to be the right medicine. Three years later, the world was in great rule, the grain was abundant, Jiaozhi was pacified, and people from all over the world came to Korea...
At this time, Zhu Yunwen, whose life had come to an end, once again proposed to abdicate the throne to Wang Xian.
This time, the situation is very different from three years ago. Wang Xian has completely conquered the hearts of the people. The officials and the people have long only known that there is a virtuous king, but they do not know that there is an emperor.
Moreover, Zhu Yunwen's only son, Zhu Wengui, had been turned into an idiot by Zhu Di and his son, and he had no heirs, so it was a matter of course for him to abdicate the throne to Wang Xian.
All the civil and military officials from all over the world petitioned to move forward. Thousands of old gentry came to the capital and knelt down to beg His Highness King De to obey the public opinion. Wang Xian finally reluctantly agreed to accept the abdication and named the reign as "Ding Yuan". However, without changing the country's name, it remained the Ming Dynasty.
The world.
Then came the enthronement ceremony and the concubine's canonization.
Wang Xian canonized a total of three concubines. Lin Qing'er is the queen, Baoyin Qiqige is the imperial concubine, and Lingxiao is the virtuous concubine. But people who love gossip are talking about the one who was named the noble concubine.
Lady Xu, is she Xu Miaojin...
After he ascended the throne, Wang Xian claimed to be a high-ranking official. During his sixty-two years in office, he worked hard to achieve political clarity, national peace and security, freedom and relaxation, prosperous culture, prosperous industry and commerce, a prosperous country and a strong people, the expansion of territory, and the coming of all nations to the dynasty.
