Zhu Cihong was sitting in the carriage, surrounded by two eight-year-old younger brothers. Opposite are two younger sisters, a ten-year-old sitting by herself, and a one-year-old being hugged by a wet nurse.
?From Beijing to Nanjing, along the way I was frightened and at the same time felt novel.
Eleven-year-old children already have their own thoughts, but they are ignorant and do not understand the world.
He secretly lifted the curtain of the car, and saw rows of shops and stalls, and pedestrians coming and going everywhere. Some are carrying burdens, some are pushing cars, and there are also "taxis" that have emerged recently.
Is this Nanjing?
It is much richer and more prosperous than Beijing, so why is Nanjing not the capital of Ming Dynasty?
To be honest, Zhu Cihong doesn't know much about Beijing. When I was out of the palace some time ago, I took a sneak peek on the road: many shops on the street were closed, there were beggars and hungry people everywhere, and there were guards driving groups of eunuchs out.
Zhu Cihong's impression of Beijing was very bad, because he saw the worst years for the people of Beijing for more than two hundred years!
"Young Master, Miss, please get out of the car!"
I don't know how long the carriage traveled, but it suddenly stopped somewhere, and Wang Tiaoding asked them to come down.
Zhu Cihong got out of the car and walked to the door. He looked up at the lintel, and there were three big characters "Dudu's Mansion" engraved on it.
As soon as they were taken into the courtyard, there were servants waiting for them.
Zhu Cihong even has his own study room, but there are not many books, and all the books are "Da Tong Ji", "Da Tong Ji" and the like.
"My lord, you can walk around in the courtyard as you please, don't play outside the courtyard." Wang Diaoding ordered.
There are guards at the gate of the courtyard, so you can't get out.
Zhu Cihong observed in his room for a while, then came to sit on the stone bench in the yard, and two younger brothers and a younger sister also came over one after another.
"I miss my queen mother." Zhu Cizhao muttered.
Zhu Cihong also missed his parents and the eunuch who grew up with him. But he is the eldest brother, so he could only comfort him: "Don't be afraid, father and mother will come soon."
Zhu Yuxi (sound: Zhu Meichuo) looked at the scenery in the courtyard, then looked at the servants, and said, "I don't know anyone here."
After a while, the son-in-law Ran Xingrang came here, and his expression was very ugly.
"Grandpa," Zhu Cihong hurried over and asked, "Are we going to live here from now on? Is there any lectures in the Eastern Palace here?"
Ran Xingrang sighed: "Oh, it would be nice to save my life."
Ran Xingrang waited for a long time just now, but did not see Zhao Han, but was taken to the yard to rest instead.
He knew that he was under house arrest
Upon learning of the content of Chongzhen's edict, Zhao Han's confidants were very excited.
Li Banghua said happily: "Congratulations to the governor. If you accept the canonization of the Ming emperor and become the king of Wu and the son-in-law captain, it will be logical for you to become the emperor in the future. All people in the world will regard the governor as orthodox!"
Pang Chunlai also laughed and said: "The provinces in the southwest may not need to send troops, they can surrender with a warrant."
"If you accept the position of King Wu, the governor can proclaim himself emperor in Nanjing only after Li Zicheng breaks through Beijing." Xiao Huan cupped his hands and said.
It was Chen Maosheng, all of whom looked happy.
Zhao Han looked at the crowd and asked, "Do you all think that I should accept the title of King Wu?"
"It should be so." Tian Younian said.
Zhao Han expressionless: "What if I don't accept it?"
"Why didn't you accept it?" Everyone was in shock and couldn't understand Zhao Han's thoughts at all.
Zhao Han asked: "Mr. Meng An, have you read the 'Sanyuan Chapter'?"
"I saw it." Li Banghua replied.
Zhao Han asked again: "Where does the throne come from?"
Li Banghua said: "Come from the people."
Zhao Han asked again: "Where did the Emperor Ming give it?"
"The throne of the Ming Dynasty was brought down by Emperor Hongwu with real swords and guns" Li Banghua suddenly came to his senses, "The throne of the Ming Dynasty was bestowed by heaven."
Zhao Han glanced at the crowd and asked, "Da Ming is the Emperor of Fengtian Chengyun. I was named the King of Wu by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. From now on, I will be the Emperor of Heaven. If this is the case, this article of "Yuanjun" can be abolished, and the "Sanyuan Chapter" is nothing but a piece of paper." For a laughing stock!"
As soon as this remark came out, all the officials were dumbfounded.
This is no longer a question of whether to be king of Wu, but a question of the legal system of the new dynasty.
? If you want to stick to Datong Theory, if you want to stick to the "Three Originals", Zhao Han's legitimacy of the throne must come from the common people.
Accepting the canonization of King Wu by Daming, Zhao Han's throne originated from Daming, from heaven!
&nbHe is very respectful of the teachings of the father (Ran Xingrang).
The other princes and princesses also followed Zhu Cihong to salute.
Zhao Han said with a smile: "There is no need to be formal, come and eat quickly."
Several children sat down anxiously, Fei Rulan looked distressed, and took the initiative to bring food for them. This move made the children less nervous and relaxed a lot.
After asking about their names and rankings, Zhao Han couldn't help looking at Zhu Cizhao and Zhu Aimee.
Zhu Cizhao is the third prince Zhu. In the 61 years of Kangxi's reign, the third prince Zhu rebelled 70 times. It seems that he can grow back after beheading his head.
Aimee Zhu is Ah Jiu in "The Sword of Jade Blood" and the one-armed nun in "The Deer and Ding Tale". She is still a 10-year-old girl this year.
Zhao Han personally served Aimee Zhu a bowl of soup, and asked Zhu Cihong, "Have you ever studied?"
"I have read it." Zhu Cihong replied.
"What books have you read?" Zhao Han asked.
Zhu Cihong replied: "Mr. has finished lectures on "University" and "Analects of Confucius", and is studying "Mencius". Since last year, sir has also lectured on "Tongjian" and "Xing Li."
Zhao Han said: "After a few days, you all go to school to study. Aimee will go too."
"What is a school?" Aimee Zhu asked curiously.
Zhao Han said with a smile: "A school is a place for studying. There are many children who are as old as you."
Aunt Zhu asked, "Are they all eunuchs and court ladies?"
Zhao Han shook his head: "There are no eunuchs or maids in the school, they are all students like you."
Zhu Cihong was a little confused, this is different from what my uncle said.
