For some reason, Zhu Gaoxu was deeply impressed by those artists who performed tightrope walking. Many people almost finished the entire performance, but often failed to take the last few steps and all their efforts were wasted! Zhu Gaoxu often took this as a warning.

Looking back on the past two years, since the rise of the army in Yunnan, Zhu Gaoxu had no chance to support the Mu Mansion, and it would have been difficult to come out of Yunnan. Later, he fought against the Sichuan Provincial Administration and the battle in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. On May Day, the mountains were high and the road was far away. With few enemies, the old lair Yunnan Prefecture City was almost trapped by the government army. At the battle of Huguang, he first attacked Wu Gao and then Zhang Fu, which was also at the moment when the finances were exhausted and Sichuan's territory was greatly threatened. There was no way out, and there was no way out. There was no gap!

After going through many hardships, isn’t it just to overthrow the enemy in the capital and ascend the throne?

Therefore, at the last moment of the journey, although the war was over, Zhu Gaoxu did not relax. His reputation still needs to be taken into account, and the truth must be explained... Even if there is no victory in a hundred battles, no matter how powerful people can fight, they can never tell the people of the world: I, the person who was in the Ming Dynasty, was the emperor?

On the second day after Zhu Gaoxu entered the capital, on the 22nd day of the first lunar month, the central government in the Ming Dynasty, located in the capital, was basically controlled by him. Next, he had to control the provinces, prefectures and counties, and he could only control public opinion first; and then after he ascended the throne, he would let them obey the imperial edict.

In the lobby of the Ministry of Rites early in the morning, civil servants Xue Yan, Hou Hai, Pei Youzhen and others had dark circles and yawned one by one. They almost didn't sleep last night, and had been planning everything before Zhu Gaoxu ascended the throne and wrote some articles.

The "truth" that Zhu Gaoxu cried in front of the coffin of the late emperor last night was because he was on the spot, not only did he use words without particular attention, but there were also some details that could not stand the scrutiny in the middle. The confidant officials wrote it all night and repeatedly added, deleted and polished.

Hou Hai, the chief of the Han Palace, was a scholar and his literary talent has always been mediocre; Pei Youzhen's background and literary talent are even worse, and he has no fame at all. In the past, he taught those military Chinese who could not read big words.

Fortunately, Xue Yan surrendered to him temporarily. Xue Yan was a Jinshi appointed by the Hongwu period. These senior officials not only know how to manage politics, but most of them are literary and romantic.

At that time, Xue Yan turned against him and took out a secret script to interrogate the death of the late emperor. He also fully supported Gao Xu's remarks in the Jiuwu Flying Dragon Palace and took the lead in calling on everyone to persuade him to go forward. Zhu Gaoxu was very short of literati at this time, so he immediately absorbed Xue Yan into his confidants and planned the most important matter.

The article also included the details of the interrogation of the civil and military soldiers outside Chengtian Gate, and wrote down the process, testimony evidence, and methods of verifying the evidence.

After the 22nd day, this article was paid for by the government offices, and was directly spread throughout the world in the form of a mansion!

The official report must be approved by the emperor, but there is no need to pay attention to it now. As long as the Central and Central ministries sign and detain it, the just public opinion of the "fighting of crimes" in the capital will obviously be generally determined.

... Outside the lobby of the Ministry of Rites, there was a lot of noise in the early morning. Countless Beijing officials did nothing except handling necessary government affairs, and they all ran to the Ministry of Rites' office to persuade them to come in!

The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and used morality and the thoughts of the sages to override them, and made up for the incompleteness of the law to maintain order. Morality is very important and is related to the justice of things.

Yesterday, Zhu Gaoxu used thunderous means to stand straight at the height of morality, beat the crown prince and the Eastern Palace clan to the ground, and was actually charged with the crime of disloyalty and unfiliality! Gao Chi's eldest son and the title of crown prince could not save him.

In the current situation, Zhu Gaoxu is sure to win in terms of etiquette and law, without any suspense.

The civil and military officials in the capital who worked had long supported the King of Yan during the Yongle period, and at least publicly recognized Zhu Di's throne; after all, those who did not publicly support were killed by the nine clans. Among the princes of the King of Yan, the eldest son Gao Chi was defeated, and Zhu Gaoxu was undoubtedly the best candidate for the emperor in terms of identity to his merits; not to mention that at this time, his strength had already crushed the kings!

Therefore, anyone who still wants to continue to be an official will go outside the Ministry of Rites to persuade him to come in. At this moment, this is a political correct way to make money without losing money.

The letter of persuading to advance flew into the lobby of the Ministry of Rites like snowflakes.

Zhu Gaoxu and his confidant civil officials were too lazy to read the letter. No matter how scattered they were, they all mean the same thing.

Zhu Gaoxu cleaned up in the back hall. After Zhang Sheng, Chen Dachui and others' persuasion, he wore a chain mail in the red five-clawed dragon robe, which looked a little bloated. Fortunately, his appearance was not abrupt in the cold spring season.

Surrounded by the guards and civil servants, Zhu Gaoxu finally walked out of the Ministry of Rites.

I saw a large number of people in the middle of Qianbulu, all of whom were worthy of the capital officials at the surrounding government offices. When people saw Zhu Gaoxu coming out, there was another noise and the crowd was excited. Everyone asked Zhu Gaoxu to ascend the throne as soon as possible to correct people's hearts.

Zhu Gaoxu also expressed his understanding. Last night in the Jiuwu Feilong Hall, civil and military officials of some level chose their positions again; only when Zhu Gaoxu ascended the throne and became emperor can everyone be completely at ease.

"Everyone..." Zhu Gaoxu said.

At this time, a loud roared: "Stop quarrel!"

Suddenly, even Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment. He turned to see the original Duke of Qi Qiu Fu. Qiu Fu, who was in his sixties, but he didn't expect that his voice was still so loud! However, as a military general, a loud voice was one of the necessary skills, and his function was even greater than riding a horse and shooting archery. Otherwise, the noise and noisy battle formations would make people unable to hear the military orders. How could he command the troops?

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Qiu Fu. However, the effect was indeed good, and the noisy atmosphere gradually became quieter.

Zhu Gaoxu said loudly: "I am the legitimate grandson of Emperor Taizu and the legitimate son of the late emperor. It is really his duty to support the country of Ming Dynasty. I am the king's army to resist the hypocrisy and tyranny of the dynasty, and it is also difficult to endure because of the hatred of his parents! Now the criminal has issued an edict to prison, waiting for the Three Jurisdictions to be convicted, and the wise and the punishment is clear. My wish has been fulfilled, and I dare not have any unreasonable thoughts.

This king only punishes the unforgivable people, those who participated in the murder of my father; the rest of the people who were forced by lies in the pseudo-kyung dynasty, are understandable, and no one is allowed to care about it in the future, let alone calculate it! Otherwise, I will never forgive those who will retaliate.

The soldiers who attacked the criminal army were also part of the Ming Dynasty. The king would return military power to the country, so that the soldiers would continue to serve the Ming Dynasty, protect the land and the people, and guard the four directions..."

Most soldiers didn't believe the last sentence of returning military power.

But some generals who made contributions were still a little anxious. Many of them were blushing with their faces, and their expressions seemed to be protesting... Brothers tried their best to help the King of Han conquer the king of Han. If they didn't have anything, the King of Han wanted to give up the power? That's not possible. You must hold on to the power, and you must say the same thing! Brothers only believe in the King of Han. Who knows what the other person in power will do? They all rely on you to be the emperor on it, ensuring everyone's benefits!

When Qi Duke Qiu Fu heard this, he sighed and said sincerely: "Qiu has always been arrogant and arrogant, and rarely convinced others, but now he really convinced the King of Han. If you are a prince who is both civil and military, you will not be the emperor, it will definitely be a loss to the country. The King of Han should not refuse and agree quickly!"

Qiu Fu didn't say everything. He roughly meant that Zhu Gaoxu was kind and powerful, and he promised to appease most people with great clever means.

However, Zhu Gaoxu himself felt that this kind of thing was really sparse and ordinary; after all, this is common sense, and it has been known to everyone in later generations. Even the children in kindergartens have things they learned in a good manner. First, they said that the cute children of whom are from the same group, and then they would beat up the unloved children who were alone together. Zhu Gaoxu didn't think he was too false, it was just a normal way of survival.

After Qiu Fu said that, he knelt on the ground first, kowtowed and said, "Old ministers and others beg the King of Han to ascend the throne!"

Suddenly, a crowd of kneeling down from Qianbujiao was clamoring, and the sound became louder and louder!

Zhu Gaoxu was left alone standing on the steps at the door of the government office. After waiting for a while, he sighed and said loudly: "The throne passed down by my Emperor Taizu Gao is a great responsibility! Everyone insisted on pushing the burden to me. I rejected it repeatedly and did not receive the permission of all civil and military officials and relatives of the royal family. Alas! I could only reluctantly stop myself as the emperor first; if everyone was unwilling to do so in the future, I would ask me to come down from the throne. At most, I would be able to return to Yunnan to be a prince and enjoy the blessings of the prince. My position as a prince was given to me by my father, and that was the most precious!"

Some people looked solemn when they heard this. They might regard this as a threat and warning. When Zhu Gaoxu ascended the throne, who would dare to try to lift him down? That would be a great enemy that will never end!

Many people shouted: "The King of Han is wise and wise, civil and military, and has unparalleled benevolence and righteousness... The King of Han is justified. Today, the throne of the Ming Dynasty is the King of Han... Thanks to the King of Han for agreeing to ascend the throne and taking charge of his ministers..."

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "In the past, I was forced into Fengxian Hall by rebels and the party was desperate and cried to the spiritual position of Emperor Gao. Taizu showed his spirit and made me discover the authenticity, so I was lucky to escape.

The spirit of Taizu in heaven also did not forget to protect the prince and grandson. I had worshipped my father and mother yesterday, and today I went to Xiaoling to visit my ancestor."

People echoed and praised.

So a large group of people prepared the sacrificial supplies, animals used to slaughter, the Han King's ceremonial guards, etc. The civil servants wrote the sacrificial texts for worshiping Taizu's prayers overnight last night.

What Zhu Gaoxu did himself was very simple. He returned to the back hall of the Ministry of Rites, changed his clothes again, and then took a car to Xiaoling to read the written form.

To worship Taizu, Zhu Gaoxu wore a very formal blue prince's robe. At first glance, it looked similar to the emperor's clothes, but the details of the pattern decoration were different. Then he drove out of the imperial city under the guards of the ceremonial guards, surrounded by civil and military officials.

Like a long queue, in full view of the people in the capital, they headed straight to the Xiaoling Mausoleum on the Zijin Mountain.
