After hearing Li Zhi's words, the crowd in the square fell into deathly silence.
The Ming Dynasty died.
Although this matter was doomed after the decisive battle in Tianjin, when it came to this moment, everyone was still a little unable to react. After all, the Ming Dynasty had ruled this land for more than two hundred years and had a huge impact on everyone in this land.
It was so profound. At this moment, I suddenly realized that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed and gone, and everyone had some reaction.
It was as if a certain part of the heart had suddenly been taken away and was gone.
The common people all looked at Li Zhi on the Chengtian Gate, and no one spoke.
The Ming Dynasty officials standing near the Qianbu Corridor all lowered their heads in despair as if they were mourning for their heirs. Many of them even dared not stand and knelt on the ground in fear.
The Ming Dynasty was destroyed, and they were no longer officials of the empire. They were once high-ranking people and now they have all become fallen dogs. They are about to welcome the arrival of a new country full of evil. In this new country, not only all the people will liquidate them,
The new government and its courts will scrutinize everything they did in the past.
Although these officials who followed Zhang Guanghang were not as shameless as the Donglin Party, they were by no means the invulnerable Bao Qingtian. They had done a lot of bribery. And more importantly, quite a few of these officials had incited the emperor to betray Tianjin.
If they start a war, this alone is enough to give them a serious crime.
The Ming Dynasty is over, everything is over.
At this time, officials from one town and nine provinces became a little excited.
Their more important identity is that they are officials of one town and nine provinces. At this time, the Ming Dynasty has died, and there is no doubt that a new country will be established. Li Zhi will definitely be the leader of this new country, and they, Li Zhi’s followers
, will undoubtedly be the manager of this country.
Decades of hard work by hundreds of thousands of people in the entire system of one town and nine provinces finally achieved fruition and changed the entire Ming Dynasty. The happiness, civilization and prosperity of Tianjin are no longer in danger of being swallowed up by the imperial power.
The "Qi State" officials standing at the front all looked at Li Zhi on the Chengtian Gate with their eyes wide open, their eyes shining, and their breathing gradually became rapid.
Of course, these predictions are rough estimates, and they actually don’t know what will happen next.
Li Zhi never revealed what kind of country he wanted to build, and the "Qi State" officials in the square did not know whether Li Zhi would ascend the throne as emperor. Li Zhi was regarded by the people of one town and nine provinces as a star descended from the earth, and he had all kinds of incredible thoughts and ideas.
Concept, no one knows what Li Zhi will decide.
For a while no one dared to speak.
Zhu Youjian, who had been demoted to a commoner, was still kneeling in front of Chengtian Gate, looking at the huge door of Chengtian Gate with a blank look on his face.
Li Zhi on the Chengtian Gate didn't speak either. He just looked at the people in the square quietly and remained silent.
Time passed by minute by minute, one second, two seconds.
One minute, two minutes.
The atmosphere in the square is gradually fermenting.
The people who were still immersed in the emotions of the Ming Dynasty gradually realized that now is not the time to be sentimental, there are more important things to do now.
For these people, Li Zhi is a symbol of a better life in the future. And if we want to truly ensure that this symbol becomes an iron-clad reality, the best way is to make Li Zhi an emperor who can dominate everything, and let Li Zhi be the manager.
Have supreme power.
Use absolute power to crush all resistance.
The people of the Ming Dynasty did not believe in anyone other than Li Zhi, nor did they believe that anyone could implement public morality and order so thoroughly. If Li Zhi did not become emperor, if Li Zhi wanted to share power with others or give up power to others after a few years,
People, people don't believe that others can achieve Li Zhi's level.
This is determined by countless factors such as ability, environment, power, character and morality. Only Li Zhi has these conditions at the same time, and no one else can do it.
This is not the imagination of one or two people. This is the consensus of all the people in the capital. This is the consensus of all knowledgeable Han people in the world. This is an iron law proven time and time again by the facts of one town and nine provinces.
Li Zhi is a modern man, and Li Zhi does not necessarily want to be the emperor. But the hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty must want Li Zhi to be the emperor. Only when Li Zhi ascends the supreme throne can the future of the Han people be guaranteed.
The people of the Ming Dynasty were not modern people. For thousands of years, they only believed in blood. They only believed in Li Zhi, and Li Huan, who inherited Li Zhi's blood, and his descendants. Only Li Zhi became the emperor, and his descendants inherited Li Zhi's blood.
Only then will he be supported and recognized by everyone, and only then will he have the motivation and conditions to continue Li Zhi's policies.
The people thought that after Li Zhi announced the demise of the Ming Dynasty, he would immediately hold a coronation ceremony and establish a new dynasty.
However, Li Zhi stood motionless on the Chengtian Gate.
The officials in one town and nine provinces also fell into silence, and no one jumped out to persuade them to move forward. Obviously, Li Zhi did not design a script for what to do after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
His Highness King Qi has no determination to ascend the throne as emperor!
After realizing this, the people behind Chang'an Avenue and Qianbu Corridor fell into panic.
It was more than panic, it was simply panic. The people were already ready to embrace the bright future destined to come after Li Zhi ascended the throne, but if Li Zhi did not become emperor, then this bright future might just be a mirror image.
What people fear most is not not getting something. When Li Zhi was still in Tianjin, the people in the capital did not feel that they could live a good life like the citizens of Tianjin, and they only had some psychological envy. What people fear most is getting something and losing it.
I thought that since Li Zhi was implanted in Beijing, a bright future would come as if it were made from iron, but now I find that Li Zhi may only be a short-term manager.
Is Li Zhi prepared to hand over power to others after being a manager for a few years? Or will he hand over the country to others to manage after his death?
Li Zhi remained silent at Chengtian Gate, but the people became commotion.
The people in the crowd looked at each other and exchanged their worries and fears.
Originally, it was not the turn of ordinary people to speak about things like ascending the throne and proclaiming themselves emperor. But now, for the sake of their own interests, the people of the capital had to speak up!
After a long silence, a young man without a headscarf strode out on Chang'an Street. This man had his hair tied with a rope, was wearing short brown clothes, and had calluses on one hand. He was obviously a man doing rough work.
Shi was standing at the front of the crowd, just over a hundred meters away from Chengtian Gate where Li Zhi was.
His face was red from holding back blood, and he strode past the cordon guarded by Tiger Army soldiers.
The soldiers of the Huben Army were also a little distracted at this time. No one moved, and no one stopped this little civilian from crossing the line.
The man took five steps forward, cupped his hands and bowed: "Xiaomin Liangdao..."
"Xiaomin Liangdao..."
He summoned up the greatest courage and shouted loudly: "Xiao Min Liang Dao! I beg the King of Qi to ascend the throne!" "Xiao Min, on behalf of his mother and younger brother Liang Xin, begs the King of Qi to ascend the throne and become the emperor!"
Hearing Liang Dao's words, officials from a nearby town and nine provinces all turned their heads and looked at this common man.
Li Zhi's prestige in one town and nine provinces is like the scorching sun, and no one dares to challenge it. Li Zhi usually doesn't like officials to talk about some strategic issues, so officials in one town and nine provinces dare not discuss such things as "whether Li Zhi should be emperor"
.
Unexpectedly, the first person in the world to persuade people to join us was actually such a common man.
However, Xiaomin Liangdao's words were just the first splash in a pot of boiling water.
Beside Liang Dao, an old man on crutches pulled his six or seven-year-old grandson, and knelt down tremblingly, with his head on the ground. "King Qi!"
"If the King of Qi does not ascend the throne as the emperor, where will the people of the world go? Where will the blessing of the Han people go?" "The old man sincerely asks the King of Qi to ascend the throne and become the emperor!"
