Chapter 918 The Emperor's Declaration
Chengtian Gate is the first line of defense of the Ming Dynasty Palace. The city gate faces south, with a drum tower, an arrow pavilion, and a large bell hanging. It looks majestic and majestic.
After leaving Chengtian Gate, Chang'an Street is there, with a moat, bridgehead, stream, and willows, which look quite exquisite.
There are countless people who are crowded by now. They are in tears and are incoherent in their words. At first, they are still standing. At some point, they are kneeling on the ground, shouting and shouting.
There are men and women, old and young, all of them are crying and full of their wits.
Some of them were passed down from generation to generation and had to be passed on to descendants. They were in their lives and were trapped forever. The disaster came from ancestors and extended to their descendants. They thought it was difficult to stop forever, but they did not expect that the emperor's decree would "release" them!
It’s really terrible to be a bargain. Once you are entered, you will never have a place to turn over in your life. It will be miserable and miserable, and the ending will be destined to be a tragic one!
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
I don’t know when the voices gradually became unified, and tens of thousands of people were shouting.
On the city wall, in front of several gates, on the roadside, by the river, etc., the soldiers of the patrol battalion who were carefully "guarding" were all stunned and looked at each other.
This situation has never happened before. I am afraid that the shouts of tens of thousands of people can be heard in the entire palace.
It is true. From Renshou Palace in the deep palace to Cining Palace, and then to the cabinet, everyone heard clearly. People inside and outside the palace appeared at the door, looking at the direction of Chengtian Gate from afar, curiosity and temptation, and even more worried.
Zhu Xu, who was walking halfway through, listened with a smile on his lips.
Xiao Yongning took a corner of Zhu Xu and said, "Uncle Emperor, what are they doing? Are they congratulating me?"
Zhu Xu shook his head and said with some emotion in his heart: "Once one day I am free, everyone will congratulate me."
Xiao Yongning couldn't understand and followed Zhu Xu ignorantly.
It was the first time Zheng Youyuan saw such a scene. Standing on Chengtian Gate, watching countless heads swaying, he felt nervous and dared not appear.
He stood beside Lu Xiangsheng and asked, "Mr. Lu, what should I do?"
Lu Xiangsheng was waiting here after receiving the order, and at the same time he was in charge, so as not to take the opportunity to make trouble. He glanced at Zheng Youyuan and said, "The emperor is coming, so Lord Zheng should not speak casually."
Zheng Youyuan's expression moved slightly and said, "Will the Emperor come?"
Lu Xiangsheng didn't say much, but just looked downstairs with the handle of the knife in his hand.
There are more and more people now, including scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, almost all kinds of "books". There are those in ragged clothes and those in gorgeous clothes, mixed with them, with various expressions and figures.
Zhu Xu walked up to Chengtian Gate with shouts, stood in the middle, and looked down quietly.
I saw people crowding, from the corner of the wall here to the base of the wall opposite, and even the east and west doors of Chang'an not far away, the east and west princess doors were crowded with people, standing, kneeling, and squatting, with complex voices and difficult to tell clearly.
Zhu Xu only showed half of his head, and there was a slight fluctuation in his heart.
He has done too many things over the years, but none of them are touching and his heart is overwhelming.
Lu Xiangsheng stood beside him and never spoke.
Zheng Youyuan looked at Zhu Xu carefully, not knowing how to deal with it.
On the other side, Li Xiangjun squatted in the corner of the wall. Xiao Yongning wanted to step on her shoulder and climb up, twisting and shaking, but he couldn't get up.
Zhu Xu knocked her and looked at Zheng Youyuan and said, "Is the national flag ready?"
Zheng Youyuan stepped forward and said, "Go back to the emperor, it's not yet, and is rushing to make a move."
Zhu Xu felt a little moved. At this time, if a national flag fluttered in the wind behind him and the national anthem would be played again, what a beautiful scene.
Sure enough, there are some things that you have to whip them with a whip and you can't relax at all.
Cao Huachun stepped forward and handed a big trumpet to Zhu Xu. At the same time, a bench was placed not far in front of Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu took it and took a deep breath. It was not the first time he saw such a big scene, but he was still a little nervous.
He looked down again, and Zhu Xu stepped onto the stool, with a cold expression and a bright look.
"See the Emperor, long live my emperor!"
The moment Zhu Xu emerged, all the soldiers upstairs and downstairs, and all the people who knew Zhu Xu, bowed, and kneeled down one knee, with loud voices. In the noisy sounds, a different ripples emerged.
The shouts gradually stopped, and the "people" all looked up at the Chengtian Gate Tower.
Zhu Xu was wearing factory uniforms, but as long as he showed up, and all the officers and soldiers nearby were saluting, everyone still didn't understand.
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!"
Suddenly it broke out, and a louder sound passed, like a wave, striking waves hit the shore and rushing upstairs.
Zhu Xu's heart suddenly accelerated and thundered wildly. The words that had been thought of disappeared in an instant. There were only these people kneeling on the ground and still shouting in front of him. There were more than 10,000 people everywhere!
The sound went higher and higher, Zhu Xu gritted his teeth secretly, his body was as pineapped, his eyes were as tide as a tide, listening quietly and watching.
I don’t know how long it took, Zhu Xu picked up the loudspeaker and shouted loudly in a still enthusiastic and high voice, “I am the Emperor of Ming Dynasty Zhu Youxu, all the officials, soldiers, and all the people of Ming Dynasty, and be calm!”
The sound of this speaker is actually not loud, especially in the chaotic sound field.
But as if everyone understood, the officials stood up to thank him, and the soldiers shouted to stand up, and the "civilians" who were kneeling also stood up one after another, and stood up, all looking at Zhu Xu eagerly and confusedly.
These are all "people" who have been delisted by law, or have not yet delisted. This is the first time they have seen Zhu Xu. They don't know what the legendary emperor in front of them looks like and what they want to say, excited and uneasy.
Zhu Xu's hand holding the microphone was trembling a little, and his heartbeat was like a drumbeat.
This is the beginning, the beginning of the treatment of internal and external problems in the Ming Dynasty’s bone marrow!
Behind him, Xiao Yongning looked up at him, Lu Xiangsheng and Zheng Youyuan stood not far away, with countless imperial guards and soldiers in the patrol battalion. Even if they were far away, there were not many people, including the adults in the cabinet and the people in the harem.
Zhu Xu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I am appointed to heaven and entrusted by all the people to rule all subjects of the Ming Dynasty!"
Everyone looked at Zhu Xu and waited for his words.
The sound of the speaker was indeed not loud, but there was no noise. They were all looking up and listening.
Zhu Xu's mind was completely empty, and his words were a little confused, saying, "My Ming Dynasty was established by Taizu expelling the Tartars and rebuilding China. Only when my Chinese people stood proudly in the world again!"
"Taizu was born in the wild, but he has a mind to help the world! I ascend the throne at a young age and grow up in the deep palace. I have never seen the sufferings of the people!"
"But I always remember training, that is: the people are the foundation of the country! The emperor is not eating, drinking and enjoying, nor is it the 3,000 harem! The emperor is not a powerful man, nor is it a huge power! The emperor is not a high-level position, nor is it a human life! The emperor must stand among the widest and most common people in the Ming Dynasty!"
The people who heard it before were shocked. The words from the storytellers in the past are now spoken from the emperor's mouth, which shocked them to their shock.
It was okay to say that the people were shocked, but Zheng Youyuan, Lu Xiangsheng and others behind Zhu Xu also opened their eyes wide and their eyes were horrified.
In this case, it shouldn’t be said by an emperor, although it’s right!
Zhu Xu held the trumpet and continued to shout: "My people in the Ming Dynasty should be proud! My people in the Ming Dynasty should have the better right to live by hard work! My people in the Ming Dynasty should be held high and live equally under the law! All discrimination, unfairness and injustice should be eliminated! As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I have this responsibility to lead my Ming Dynasty to prosperity and prosperity. My people in the Ming Dynasty should have a house to live, wear clothes, eat, read books, do things, and expectation, and have a better future..."
Zhu Xu was surging with the craze. The people below looked up at Zhu Xu, even if they couldn't hear it clearly, their hearts were inexplicably stirred.
Zhu Xu was very excited and said louder: "This is just the beginning. I will do my best to eliminate the bad policies of the Ming Dynasty and restore the world to a bright world! All the people of my Ming Dynasty will never have any bad fortunes. Everyone is the most proud people of my Ming Dynasty, the creator of the glorious Ming Dynasty, and have the right to enjoy the glory and wealth they deserve! In the future, you must hold your head up, be proud, and be confident. Your descendants can all become generals and ministers, and everyone's future will be expected!"
