Chapter 405: The Son of Heaven is here to ask for the moon
Zhu Youlang's sage carriage surrounded the ministers and passed through Anqing, and finally arrived in Nanjing.
Zheng Chenggong and his son have already greeted the city officials at Yanziji.
Zhu Youlang was very satisfied when he saw the vast crowd of people who were welcomed.
Zheng Chenggong still put his heart into it.
In fact, Zhu Youlang was more or less nervous at the beginning, but now this emotion is gone.
"Thank you for your hard work, King Zhong."
When Zhu Youlang saw Zheng Chenggong, the first thing he said was praise.
Zheng Chenggong hurriedly said, "I am afraid."
This is all an old routine, but the monarch and minister have real feelings.
"Your Majesty, all matters in the city are ready, so please let Your Majesty enter the city."
Zheng Chenggong's attitude was very humble, and it was true that he could only be like this today.
"I don't have to hurry to enter the city. I want to go and worship Xiaoling first."
Zhu Youlang said without hesitation.
Zheng Chenggong was stunned. Yes, why did he forget such an important thing?
When he attacked Nanjing, he worshipped Xiaoling before entering the city, let alone today's son.
As a descendant of the Zhu family, it would be a bit unreasonable if he didn't go to Xiaoling to worship at this time, and he would even be labeled as an unfilial descendant.
However, Zheng Chenggong was unprepared before, and the emperor suddenly said he was at a loss when he wanted to go to Xiaoling.
"What, is there any problem?"
Zhu Youlang asked in a harmonious voice.
"Well, I'll prepare now."
Zhu Youlang could see that this was unexpected by Zheng Chenggong. However, he had decided and would only enter the city after worshiping Emperor Taizu.
Zheng Chenggong was familiar with Xiaoling, so he quickly ordered people to prepare, and the emperor's imperial carriage was also slowly moving towards him.
Both sides cooperated very well. When the emperor arrived at Xiaoling Mausoleum, the people there were just ready.
Emperor Taizu, I am here!
Zhu Youlang sighed in his heart.
Surrounded by the left and right, Zhu Youlang walked in the middle of the Shinto.
Lush pine and cypress on the left and right sides are lush pine and cypress.
Even after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass and took Nanjing, it did not dare to destroy every tree and grass in Xiaoling Mausoleum.
Maybe they were afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would come to them to take their lives.
No matter what, Xiaoling is well preserved, which is indeed worthy of gratitude.
Zhu Youlang entered Fangcheng from the city gate, which was considered to have arrived at the core area of Xiaoling.
The main hall is enshrined with the tablets of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and the incense is obviously always lit, which can be seen from the accumulated ashes.
Zhu Youlang walked to the front and knelt on the cushion.
Seeing this, the ministers hurriedly knelt down one after another.
Zhu Youlang had already written a draft before, so he read it out at this moment.
"The unfilial descendant Zhu Youlang paid homage to Emperor Taizu Gao. With the blessing of his ancestors, I have revitalized several provinces one after another, and the revival of the Ming Dynasty is expected. Only then can I dare to come to your old tomb to thank you."
Zhu Youlang choked several times, not intentionally, but where the feelings came.
The emperor was like this, and all the ministers buried their heads lowered.
Among the generals and ministers present, except Zhang Huangyan, there is basically a dark history.
For example, Zheng Chenggong's father Zheng Zhilong betrayed Emperor Longwu. For example, the Thirteen Kuidong families followed Li Zicheng and forced Emperor Chongzhen to death.
Needless to say, Li Dingguo was the adopted son of the giant thief Zhang Xianzhong, but only Zhang Xianzhong followed the horse's leader, and even changed his surname.
Now, in front of the tablet of Emperor Gao of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, they feel more or less nervous and uncomfortable.
"I can achieve such a success, not only my own achievements, but my ministers and generals have worked hard to work hard. I also ask Emperor Taizu Gao, you always protect yourself so that unfilial descendants can defeat the enemy and restore the world!"
When hearing this, the civil and military officials, including the generals of Kuidong, Zheng Chenggong and his son, Li Dingguo and others, their eyes lit up, and the fear in their hearts was also wiped out.
The emperor's words before the Emperor Taizu's tablet are to give them a characterization.
They are not the former "rebellious ministers and traitors", but are capable ministers and meritorious officials who have made contributions to the country and the country!
Just like the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion that the Tang Dynasty had just established!
In fact, at the beginning, they were more or less worried about whether His Majesty the Emperor would settle the score later.
But now it seems that the emperor's mind is really broader than the sea.
They had the idea that they really judge a gentleman by the heart of a villain.
Zhu Youlang swore in front of the ancestral tablet again and then stood up and walked out.
Seeing this, the ministers stood up to greet them.
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful! The Ming Dynasty's rejuvenation is expected!"
"The world is invincible in the Ming Dynasty!"
"The Tartars have been like grasshoppers in autumn for a few days!"
"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"
Zhu Youlang pressed his hands down to show everyone to be quiet.
He cleared his throat and said, "I know your determination, but I'll talk about it until I leave Xiaoling. Don't bother Emperor Taizu Gao and his family to be purified."
Everyone then realized that they were really noisy.
Zhu Youlang came out of Fang Chen surrounded by his ministers and walked out along the Shinto.
Zhu Youlang spoke until he was completely out of Xiaoling and said, "You can prepare to enter the city."
Zhu Youlang is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his every move has attracted the attention of all people.
Even a small little guy must prepare it properly for entering the city.
We must let the people see the emperor's appearance, but we cannot threaten Zhu Youlang's safety.
This degree is really not easy to grasp.
However, Zhu Youlang believes that Zheng Chenggong will be able to do this well.
He has this ability.
Nanjing City can be said to be the most prosperous place in the entire Jiangnan, that is, Hangzhou can compete with one of them.
There are more than one million people in the city, and the city is prosperous and peaceful.
Even after the Qing Dynasty advanced south, this did not change much.
After all, the foundation is here, and no matter how hard it is, it is not much worse.
Of course, the most important thing is that Nanjing has not been massacred by the Qing Dynasty, which is incomparable to other cities.
Finally, after everything was ready, Zhu Youlang rode a white horse into the city surrounded by his ministers and his personal army.
When the people learned that the emperor was about to enter the city, they stood on both sides of the street and tried desperately to see the sky.
"This is His Majesty the Emperor, right? He looks like an emperor!"
"Tsk tsk, this pair of golden armor is really good for His Majesty."
"No wonder the Ming Dynasty was able to win battles all the time. It turned out that there was such a wise and powerful emperor!"
"With such a strong army, why worry about the world not prospering and the Tartars will not be eliminated!"
"Hehe, I've long said that the Tartars are just grasshoppers in autumn and can't jump for long. When the king comes, they will have to run away."
"I heard that Huguang and Jiangxi have been recovered, so it should be Nanzhili next?"
"If Yangzhou is recovered, I would rather go on a tour of the West Lake."
