Chapter 144 (Certificate for Support)
Is there anything to rely on?
When asked this, Zhang Huangyan cursed himself in his heart. He thought to himself that when the king first got caught in the thief and then was wandering among the people, how could he have any certificates?
Yes, it’s empty talk!
How can you convince the world if you speak empty words without any support?
Although he tends to believe that the king is the descendant of the late emperor, Zhang Huangyan hopes to have some evidence. With the certificate, it can not only solve his doubts, but also solve the doubts of the people in the world, and let the people in the world understand that King Huai is the most orthodox heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty.
Empty words are unreasonable.
Anyone may say that he is the descendant of the late emperor or the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. If so, wouldn’t anyone call him the emperor?
"Shu Zhang can tell that there are twenty jade seals in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the "twenty-four treasures". At first, there were sixteen treasures. Later, Emperor Chengzu ordered people to carve several treasures because of the destruction of the seal treasure. Later, Wuzong died, Emperor Shizong was a younger brother of the Wuzong clan. He entered the throne as the prince of Xingxian. After Shizong ascended the throne in the 18th year of Jiajing, he issued an order to add imperial treasures. The new seven treasures said: "Subordinate to heaven and carry on the treasures of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the treasures of the Ming Dynasty, the treasures of the world, the treasures of the commandments of the world, the treasures of the orders of the virtues, the treasures of the people, and the treasures of the people, and the treasures of the first country were 24 imperial treasures with the seals of the country, and the officials of Shangbao took charge of them. In this way, the twenty-four treasures of the Ming Dynasty."
Qian Lei, who had been silent, said on the surface that he was talking about the jade seal, but in fact he was talking about the two changes in the Yitong reign of the Ming Dynasty since Emperor Gao. Every time the national reign changes, a new jade seal will be made, and every time he made a new jade seal, he will use his new imperial treasure as a treasure. This new imperial treasure also has an unusual meaning. It is precisely because of this that the new seven treasures made by Shizong have extraordinary significance for the current Ming Dynasty. Qian Lei knew this and Zhang Huangyan also knew this. It can even be said that all scholars in the world are very clear about the significance of Shizong's new imperial treasures in the Ming Dynasty.
"If I remember everything I don't remember well, Shizong made seven treasures, except for the emperor's treasure, they all fell into the hands of the Qing captains..."
Suddenly, Zhang Huangyan's words suddenly paused. He looked at Qian Lei in surprise, and then turned his eyes to Zhu Mingzhong. Could it be that the Emperor Bao is here with King Huai?
Didn’t Emperor Zibao’s whereabouts be unknown?
The Qing emperor even claimed that it was destroyed by the wars in the Forbidden City!
The reason why the Qing barbarians claimed this was because the jade seal symbolized the legal system of a country. Emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to the role of imperial treasures as symbols of the country and used it as a symbol of the country and a certificate for the emperor to govern the world. With the Emperor's Treasure of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty could even justly replace the Ming Dynasty. What disappointed the Qing Dynasty was that among the seven treasures made by Emperor Shizong, the whereabouts of the Emperor's Treasure, the Emperor's Treasure, as the symbol of the emperor, was unknown.
Where is the Emperor's Treasure?
The Qing Dynasty did not get it, and Li Chuang did not get it either. Long before Li Chuang entered Beijing, the Ming Dynasty Zibao had disappeared.
Why did that piece of "Tiantian Chengdao Treasure" disappear?
Once upon a time, no one thought about this issue. At that time, for the benevolent and ambitious people in the world, the most important thing was to drive the Qing emperor out of the Central Plains. But now, when Qian Lei said this jade seal, Zhang Huangyan seemed to understand why "the treasure of the Great Ming Dynasty in the Heavenly Reign" disappeared.
Because Emperor Lie gave the Emperor Zibao out, why did he give the Emperor Zibao out? I am afraid it was to give the Prince a certificate of identity.
In the shock of everyone, Zhu Mingzhong took out a sandalwood box, then touched the wooden box carved with dragon patterns, and said slowly.
"When I was sent out of the palace to hide, in order to avoid being peeped, I hid this object in the capital. The three brothers swore that the world would not be restored in the future, otherwise I would never have to give up this treasure..."
Nothing is more convincing than this "Taiwan's Reign of the Great Ming Zi Treasure". Even when he saw the wooden box, Zhang Huangyan believed it. All his doubts were dispelled with the moment he saw the jade seal. All his doubts and confusion disappeared without a trace because of the appearance of the jade seal. And Lu Liuliang even burst into tears when he saw the jade seal.
"Does the Secretary of State need to compare the jade seal?"
Qian Lei's retort made Zhang Huangyan's expression embarrassed.
"My, me..."
Thinking of the repeated actions of Zhang Huangyan, when he wanted to apologize, Zhu Mingzhong stopped him and said.
"Gu is now just the King of Huai of the Ming Dynasty, as for this King Ding..."
After a slight pause, Zhu Mingzhong shook his head and said.
"Let the world settle first, and then make a long-term plan."
The so-called long-term plan is just an excuse. When the world is pacified, there is only one person in the world who can be a king, the king in front of you. No one will doubt this anymore, and even now, the last hurdle in their hearts has disappeared with the appearance of the jade seal.
Many times, people are always like this. When they are willing to believe something, they only need a simple proof, and they will choose to believe it. Even in some cases, the paranoid personality of many so-called "scholars" makes them find ten thousand reasons to prove that their choice is correct as long as they believe in something. They will try their best to prove themselves with various lies and excuses. Of course, there is no paranoia here, let alone lies and excuses to prove it. The most important thing is that they are willing to believe all this and are willing to believe that the king in front of them is indeed the descendant of Emperor Lie.
Just like in the eyes of many people in the world, Emperor Lie must have children. The reason why they believe in this is because they feel that a good emperor like Emperor Lie who even thinks about the people even when he is dead will never be extinct. God will always open his eyes.
Of course, this is the good wish of the people, and such wishes also exist in the hearts of eunuchs and other scholars such as Zhang Huangyan, Lu Liuliang and others. It is precisely because of this that after the rumors that Zhu Mingzhong was Emperor Lie, many people chose to believe it. They even felt that only the Forbidden City could cultivate people like the King of Huai. They even thought secretly that if King of Huai was really the descendant of Emperor Lie, it would be great. Now after seeing this jade seal, their already anticipated expectations and evidence in front of them made them choose to believe it without doubt.
Zhang Huangyan, who had this mentality, knew that countless people in the world were like him, and they all had such thoughts. Now, when he heard that the king wanted to continue to "conceal" his identity, he immediately retorted loudly.
"I think the king should not be so cautious. Today is no longer the same as before. The emperor is still there, but the king falls among the people, which unexpectedly causes chaos. Since the emperor has passed away today, the king should inherit the throne of the Ming Dynasty and think it is orthodox. He gave this seal and issued an order to Jin and Fujian to fight against rebellion. In this way, the world will be pacified soon."
As soon as Zhang Huangyan's words fell, Lu Liuliang said over there.
"Sima said very much. King, who is not grateful to Emperor Lie? Who doesn't expect the common ruler of the world to be still there? The king will not expect that the Ming Dynasty will have a dispute because of it, which will cause the Ming Dynasty to fall into internal strife. The king is so kind and righteous. Who in the world does not know? Today, the previous emperor has left, and the king is the descendant of Emperor Lie, so he should inherit the throne of the Ming Dynasty to calm the hearts of the people of the world!"
Persuading to enter!
This is exactly the same as that of Zhu Mingzhong's admonition facing, which is completely different from Li Ziyuan. What Li Ziyuan faces is just the so-called "those who are virtuous in the world live in it", while Zhu Mingzhong only relies on two words - "orthodox". He was the legitimate son of Emperor Lie and Empress Lie, and naturally the most orthodox heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty.
With this orthodox existence, the scholars and people in the world will not have the slightest opposition. Of course, the reason why Zhang Huangyan, Lu Liuliang and others are so confident is because of the "Emperor Treasure", otherwise they would not have been so confident.
Of course, Zhu Mingzhong did not need to refuse their persuasion, nor did he follow the ancient system and wanted to "reject three times". After all, he was the real heir to the Ming Dynasty throne. Since that is the case, it is natural to inherit the throne, so naturally there is no need to refuse.
Everything was natural. With Zhang Huangyan's "persuading to advance" and with the sign of "orthodox", Zhu Mingzhong could naturally succeed to the throne as emperor in the name of Zhu Cijiong, and then use the "Taiwan of the Great Ming Emperor's Treasure" to command the world, and to order loyal ministers and righteous men in the world to raise troops to fight against rebellion.
Of course, unlike in the past, Zhu Youlang could only rely on hopes for others, for Zhu Mingzhong, who had strong soldiers, all he needed was the recognition of the Jin vassal state and the recognition of his identity as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
This kind of recognition is not just what one party can get by "relying on heaven and carrying the treasure of the Great Ming Dynasty". Perhaps the treasure of the emperor can dispel the world's doubts, but to get the recognition of the Fujian vassal states, it is another matter. Without the recognition of the two vassal states, everything is just empty talk.
"Where is the Min Fan, I will go to Nanjing to lobby the King of Min on my way back to Jiangxi. If it is not bad as I expected, the King of Min should not refuse. After all, Your Highness is his uncle..."
Zhu Mingzhong just smiled distractedly about Zhang Huangyan's words. The so-called "uncle" is just a piece of tissue in front of interests. He had already made other plans for the Minfan.
"Then the Jin vassal, your highness has great kindness to the Jin vassal. If your highness can write a letter to the King of Jin and explain it to great justice, the Jin vassal would not have the slightest desire to rebound. The only thing that makes me worried is Li thief. Since he killed the throne, he just wanted to usurp the throne and become the emperor. In addition, Hong Chengchou now leads several southwestern provinces and Sichuan to surrender Li thief, which greatly increases his strength. If he mobilizes hundreds of thousands of Hong thiefs, his strength is probably far better than me..."
When Zhu Mingzhong heard Zhang Huangyan’s concern, he just laughed.
