It has been more than a month since April, Zhu Mai has controlled Nanjing City.

Because the style of the Imperial Guards was much better than that of the previous official troops, they were recognized and supported by the people of Nanjing.

With the assistance of the garrison and the garrison army later, the control of the Imperial Guard has penetrated into the streets and alleys of Nanjing City.

In addition, with Lu Chuan and Wang Qing as a breakthrough, he learned from others that the fake prince Hongguang was finally handed over to Feng Kezong, the former Jinyiwei Co-Master.

So before dark, the soldiers of the Imperial Guards found the house where Feng Kezong and the fake prince hid.

But when the final news came to Zhu Mai, she frowned.

"Wang Zhiming was killed by Feng Kezong? Then Feng Kezong committed suicide?"

"Yes." Liu Wenxiu knelt on one knee and lowered her head, "I am not good at doing things and am willing to receive punishment."

The first town of the Imperial Guards and the second town all sent people to search the city. The second town encountered this. Therefore, when Liu Wenxiu learned about it, he came to report to Zhu Mai immediately.

Zhu Mai suspected that there was something strange about it, so she said, "I will discuss your sins later. I will bring the body of the fake prince Wang Zhiming to my palace first."

Although it has been confirmed that what Wang Wen is talking about is a fake prince, she has to see it with her own eyes before she can be content.

Hao Guangming could understand Zhu Mai's complex feelings for several brothers, so he said, "Are you worried that the person who is doing things below will kill the true prince and then replace the body of another person, and lied that it was Wang Zhiming?"

"Yeah." Zhu Mom nodded. She really had such worries.

She is not a novice who doesn't know anything now, so she knows very well that for her subordinates, neither the fake prince nor the real prince should have appeared before she ascended the throne.

After all, if she really returns power to the prince, wouldn’t these direct officials and troops who follow her become the targets of the prince’s attack after he ascended the throne?

Even if the prince is magnanimous and does not attack them, he will definitely not give them the current royal army treatment.

What's more, there is a fanatical worship of Zhu Mai in the army now.

What these people can do is definitely beyond ordinary people's expectations.

"The officials in Nanjing have seen Zhu Cilang in recent years, and have also seen the fake prince Wang Zhiming in March.

You can identify the bodies of these people, not too many, there are three or four people.

After all, you are not trying to make the world believe in anything, but mainly to make yourself feel at ease.”

After hearing Hao Guangming's suggestion, Zhu Ma's heart was much more at ease and immediately ordered someone to do it.

Zhu Yousong caused a lot of controversy over a "prince's case" in March, and the court was in turmoil, mainly because someone involved the matter in the party struggle to crack down on political enemies.

Some people who had secretly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty or who wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty were adding fuel to the fire, which made Zhu Yousong unable to kill him even though he knew that Wang Zhiming was a fake prince.

Of course, there are also a few people loyal to the Ming Dynasty who hope to keep the "fake prince" for further identification to avoid mistaken killing, such as Huang Degong.

It can even be said that during the Hongguang Dynasty, Huang Degong's memorial was the main reason why Zhu Yousong failed to kill Wang Zhiming.

Now that Zhu Mai is controlling Nanjing, the facts of the Donglin Party and the eunuch Party no longer exist. It’s just that some people who are unwilling to recognize her as the empress and some people with ulterior motives are making trouble.

The power of these people is insignificant and cannot openly affect Zhu Ma's handling of this matter.

So soon, the bodies of the "fake prince" and Feng Kezong were taken to Zhu Mai.

At the same time, four officials who had met Zhu Cilang and Wang Zhiming respectively came.

Zhu Mai went up and looked at it, and found that the "fake prince" was indeed not Zhu Cilang, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

The four officials then reported to Zhu Mai that the deceased was Wang Zhiming, who had previously pretended to be the prince.

As for the other corpse, it is indeed Feng Kezong.

Zhu Mai asked several coroners to take a look at the autopsy, which proved that Wang Zhi was clearly killed by Feng Kezong, and Feng Kezong did commit suicide.

At this point, Zhu Mai was basically relieved of the losses.

First of all, the possibility that Zhu Cilang is basically ruled out in this matter - if those with strange intentions really find Zhu Cilang, there is no need to use such tortuous tricks, and just let Zhu Cilang appear in public in Nanjing City.

Secondly, even if the conspiracy of people with ulterior motives is involved, the people and scope involved are very small. In addition to the main messengers behind the scenes, most of the people who are actually involved are the two imperial envoys and Feng Kezong.

This means that even if she thoroughly investigates the matter after she ascended the throne, she will not involve too many people.

Thinking about it, with the ability and prestige she has shown now, even if Zhu Ciyang really appears, it may not be able to stop her from ascending the throne as the empress, let alone a mere fake prince?

If she guessed correctly, then Lu Chuan, Wang Feng, and Feng Kezong probably had the handle that had been taken into account before they would risk doing such a stupid thing.

But whether they are proactive or forced, since they have done so, they are not worthy of sympathy.

"Haha, this Lu Chuan, Wang Qing is indeed not a good person. In later generations, they followed Zhao Zhilong and Zhu Guobi to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. They even quickly gained the credit of the Qing Dynasty and were quickly promoted."

Zhu Mai did not speak, but ordered her to go back to the palace.

While waiting for the arrest of Wang Zhiming and Feng Kezong, she had already learned about all the specific links of tomorrow's throne ceremony with Huang Daozhou, Lu Jiude and others.

There must be some important matters that she needs to deal with today.

Hers quickly went to deal with it and went back to the old Zhulin house to rest, because she would get up earlier than usual tomorrow...

May 25th.

The streets and alleys of Nanjing City are decorated with lights.

If the people have the conditions, they will buy a few firecrackers to set them off. If the conditions are poor, they will also get some red paper to post them to show their joy.

Because the people of Nanjing all know that today is the happy day for Princess Kunxing to ascend the throne to the emperor.

If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was just a noun and out of reach to the people in the past, they didn't care much about anyone.

Then most people were happy about Zhu Mai's succession to the throne.

Because in the more than a month when Zhu Meiyu took control of Nanjing, she had done a lot of practical things for the people, allowing the people to gain some real benefits.

First of all, the public security situation in Nanjing has greatly improved. The powerful princes who oppressed the good people, the gangsters on the streets, the evil officials and the officials who were asked to take charge, all disappeared.

Especially those Beijing official troops who face the powerful and noble masters, serve as slaves and servants, and in turn oppress the poor people, were beheaded, exiled, or were dismissed for the people.

The rest were transformed into garrison troops, garrison troops, and the Imperial Guards to maintain public security and order in Nanjing. They even cleaned up garbage from the streets and alleys of Nanjing, making the Nanjing market look brand new.

In addition, the Yangjiyuan, Luozeyuan and Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau in Nanjing were either re-established or rectified, and their due roles were restored one after another, bringing a lot of convenience to the common people.

At the same time, a fixed porridge cooking site was established outside Nanjing City, so that the refugees who had previously gathered near Nanjing City were basically properly resettled.

It is not an exaggeration to say that everything is renewed today in Nanjing.

People understand in their hearts that this is all because Zhu Mai took over and controlled Nanjing City.

Therefore, most people in Nanjing support and love Zhu Mai from the bottom of their hearts. After experiencing the chaos and darkness of the late Ming Dynasty, the people know better how to make a happy life hard and cherish it more.

Chen Bangyan, who has lived in Nanjing for more than half a year, has a lot of feelings about the changes in the city over the past month.

At the beginning of this spring, after he presented tens of thousands of words to the pseudo-emperor, "Zhongxing" to the pseudo-emperor," he suffered a lot, but was unwilling to accept it.

So he stayed in Nanjing and worked as a private school teacher for a large family under the introduction of a friend.

Unexpectedly, within a few months, I saw an unprecedented "coup".

Previously, it was suddenly heard that a princess supervising country led a large army to control Nanjing City, and Chen Bangyan was quite worried.

As a scholar of Confucianism, like most scholars, he felt that a woman's regent was not a good thing, and it was likely that the Ming Dynasty would be completely in chaos and no longer have hope of revival.

But the changes that have taken place in Nanjing City since then undoubtedly mean that he was wrong.

When the news of the princess of the regent and Yangzhou defeated tens of thousands of Qing captives came back, causing the entire Nanjing city to fall into a carnival, Chen Bangyan completely changed his mind.

He felt that perhaps this princess in charge of the country could really lead the Ming Dynasty’s rejuvenation!

In the past month, he has been looking for opportunities, entering the sight of the princess of the regent or the main officials and generals, and was appointed, but he has never found opportunities.

However, seeing that the Qing emperors were defeated and the state affairs were getting better, he was not as urgent as before to be an official.

Knowing that today is the happy day for the princess to ascend the throne as the empress, he asked for leave from the master's house and went to the street to watch.

The owner was also preparing to go to the street to participate in the celebration of the ceremony, so he naturally gave it a pleasure to give it a fake.

Several main streets in the city have been semi-blocked by the army - it is said that in order to celebrate today's main hall, a military parade will be held in front of the Meridian Gate in the Imperial City.

The army participating in the military reading ceremony will come out of the military camp in the northwest corner of Nanjing City, pass through several main streets in the city, and head to the imperial city.

All armies under the Princess of the Supervisor will participate.

When Chen Bangyan came to a main street, he found that the street was full of people and crowded.
