Chapter 585 You're here

Countless horseshoes stepped on the brick and stone streets on the Thousand Steps Porch, and the noise was very loud, immediately breaking the quiet and solemn atmosphere here.

There are many government agencies here; almost all the central institutions of the Ming Dynasty were near this imperial street.

In addition to hundreds of civil and military officials, there are countless officials and servants.

At this time, people were standing on both sides of the Imperial Street and bent down to Zhu Gaoxu to salute.

There are many people here, especially civil officials and scholars, who must not like Zhu Gaoxu in power; however, Zhu Gaoxu is a member of the royal family after all, and the world is not strong in resistance.

Now that the army has entered the imperial city, everyone can only face the reality temporarily, after all, the arm cannot twist the thigh.

The Chengtian Gate Tower in the distance stood deep in the large building complex. Zhu Gaoxu walked north while instructing his subordinates to do some things.

Zhu Gaoxu asked the general to deploy troops safely and to mobilize troops to control the entire imperial city; and sent people to guard the mansions of important people, such as those treacherous ministers who made the proclamations of crimes and rebellions, as well as places such as Qingshou Temple.

Also called the Right Chief Hou Hai, he then arranged personnel to find Yao Fang and Du Erlang of the Jinyiwei; the message was sent to the Qianbulang for the letter Qiu Fu, Wang Zhenliang and others.

Zhu Gaoxu is short of people now, so he went to Beijing too smoothly and quickly, but instead seemed a little hasty.

Almost all the civil and military officials from the Han Palace and the Han Palace did not follow him; now Zhu Gaoxu has only about 60,000 vanguard troops under his command.

Therefore, we must find those who tend to Zhu Gaoxu to help in the capital and court.

Zhu Gaoxu also told Hou Hai that when he met the officials in the capital, he would record all his attitudes.

As long as it is not the former official and main war criminal of the Eastern Palace of Hong Xi Dynasty, who are the first to surrender, they can be used for the time being.

Zhu Gaoxu's intense emotions as soon as he entered the capital were slightly relieved at this time; no matter what too intense mood is, it is difficult to last, and excitement is no exception.

Instead, he seemed to have mixed feelings in his heart.

The palace was right in front of him. He looked at the towering and bright palace city and gradually evoked many memories.

Although Zhu Gaoxu, as a vassal king, had never lived in the palace; he had been to the palace before Zhu Di ascended the throne (memory); in the beginning of Yongle, because his parents and brothers and sisters lived there, he also walked around the palace many times... Not only did he have banquets and etiquette, but he also had an escape experience like a dog who was stranded.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately remembered Ma Enhui!

This belongs to the queen of the Jianwen Dynasty and the enemy of the King Yàn family; and when Zhu Gaoxu saw her, she had no power and no personal freedom, and was an insignificant person... But it was such a Ma Enhui. If she had not been her person, Zhu Gaoxu felt that she would not have had the result of fighting back to the capital today!

Ma was imprisoned in the end of his life since his establishment, and it has been six or seven years! Is she still alive? What are you doing?

Zhu Gaoxu probably knew where the Ma family was. When he was in Yunnan Prefecture, the Ma family was sent to Fengyang to guard the tomb; it was difficult for the royal members to come out again when they arrived in Fengyang.

If she was still alive, she probably should still be in Fengyang now.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu was both worried and impatient.He turned his head and called Hou Hai over, and thought about it and called General Wang Yu over.

Empress Jianwen Ma, who has been kind to this king.Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice, Hou Hai, you go to the Ministry of War and get the military order of the Ministry of War and order the defenders of Zhongdu (Fengyang) to comply with the Ministry of War to order the soldiers of the King of Han to enter the city.Wang Yu, you will cross the river with your cavalry and immediately go to Zhongdu and escort the Ma family back to the capital.

The two of them clasped their fists together and said: The lower official (the last general) obeys the order!

Zhu Gaoxu continued to take a large team of swords and horses north. When the soldiers walked across the Wulong Bridge, the soldiers in front had already called to open the Chengtian Gate.

So everyone passed through Chengtian Gate and dispatched troops to control Chengtian Gate and collected the weapons of the guards.

After passing Chengtian Gate, walking through the avenue between the palace walls, it was soon Duanmen again.After passing Duanmen, there was a long and wide street, and countless soldiers immediately rushed into the street and filled the avenue.

Walking through the long street, the main gate of the palace, the Meridian Gate, appeared in front of it.

Zhu Gaoxu gradually approached Wumen. As long as he walked into that gate, he would be the inner palace!The elder brother Gao Chi is inside.

An emperor who is about to be expelled from the throne can easily imagine his miserable mood at this moment!

But when Gao Chi deceived Zhu Gaoxu into the palace and wanted to kill Zhu Gaoxu, and his arrogance today was just a game of reversing strength and weak, and the strong prey on the weak. No one is innocent!

And it is possible that Gao Chi would just die.

As soon as the troops followed Zhu Gaoxu to the front of the Meridian Gate, the palace gate was slowly opened by the soldiers of the Jinyiwei.As the door opened, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the scene inside and couldn't help but be stunned!

I saw the fat and wide white Gao Chi wearing a five-clawed dragon robe and black veil, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, standing next to an imperial chariot.Gao Chi lives well, as if he is waiting for Zhu Gaoxu!

drive!The cavalry soldiers in front rushed into the Meridian Gate first, but ignored the emperor and went to the Jinyiwei soldiers guarding the gate to seize their weapons.

Zhu Gaoxu calmed down and did not get off his horse. He rode his horse and walked slowly into the Meridian Gate.People are very silent.

I really don't know what kind of mood Gao Chi was. Gao Chi's face was very complicated, but there was no such expression of miserable anger... He even showed a strange and forced smile, which looked very funny and embarrassing.

Gao Chi looked up at Zhu Gaoxu wearing heavy armor on the horse's back and said: Gao Xu, you are here!

Well... Zhu Gaoxu nodded.He suddenly felt a little headache.

In fact, Zhu Gaoxu still hopes that Gao Chi will break it by himself!

In that case, Gao Chi, a person who had been the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, would not have to endure humiliation; Zhu Gaoxu would not have to find a way to kill his elder brother.

Good to everyone!

However, Gao Chi obviously did not intend to do that.

Gao Chi didn't even have the panic and madness of a dying person at all. He actually said: I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding between us brothers. Anyway, they have become like this. Can we talk about it?

Zhu Gaoxu almost scolded him.

Misunderstand?

The war almost swept across the entire area south of the Ming Dynasty, with incalculable expenses and countless casualties. The total force of both sides invested more than one million!

Gao Chi actually said it was a misunderstanding. Could it be that everyone misunderstood that they can resolve the matter now?

Zhu Gaoxu Haha sneered, pondered for a moment and nodded: OK.

Then go to the Imperial Gate, not far from here.Gao Chi turned around and pointed, and arrived after crossing the Wulong Bridge.

General Chen Dachu stepped forward and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with his fists.Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly.

Chen Dachui waved and said: Brothers, come with me!In an instant, a large group of cavalry rushed over from both sides of the emperor's car and ran towards the palace.

Gao Chi turned around.Seeing that he was having difficulty walking and needed someone to support him, Zhu Gaoxu said: Brother, get in the car and take the car to go there.Gao Chi turned his head and looked at it, nodded and said: That's good.

The crowd slowly marched northward to the outside of Fengtian Gate. Chen Dachui reported: Fengtian Gate and other places had been searched, and no enemy soldiers or any abnormal military situation was seen.

So Zhu Gaoxu ordered the eunuchs, palace maids and soldiers to wait outside the Imperial Gate. He and Gao Chi walked into Fengtian Gate...

People often call Fengtian Gate the Imperial Gate because it is the place where Emperor Taizu built and gave the emperors of the Imperial Gate to rule for generations.

If the ancestral system is followed, the royal ministers will pay their respects to the court, the court discusses major events, and the emperor handles state affairs and memorials, all of which are in this gate.

However, soon the Emperors of the Ming Dynasty stopped working here and changed to the Dongnuan Pavilion, which was closer to the Ganqing Palace where the emperor lived.

The Taijido of the Imperial Gate is decorated with white white marble, the walls are darker bricks and wood, and the double eaves on the top are covered with glazed tiles.The two walked into the imperial gate and Zhu Gaoxu saw the high emperor's dragon throne at a glance!

The spacious and magnificent imperial gate seemed a little empty at this time, because there was no one else except their brothers, only a few large golden and red pillars in the middle.

There are various ritual instruments and decorations here. The palaces of the Ming Dynasty are not as simple and serious as those of the Qin and Han dynasties, but they are not too complicated and fancy. They pay more attention to the preciousness, texture and color matching of materials.

Zhu Gaoxu stood in the imperial gate and felt the style here.

Emperor Taizu's consideration should be that he should neither want to be too frivolous and frivolous, and emphasize a seriousness and domineeringness; he should not want to be too simple, but also have noble aura.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at it for a while, then turned around and saw Gao Chi looking at the dragon throne.The two brothers looked at each other.

Gao Chi said: At the position above, when father and son saw it, they all disliked each other.

I didn't really want to do that chair at first.Zhu Gaoxu said, there are no outsiders here, and I won’t lie to you.

Second brother, let’s sit down and talk for a while.Gao Chi pointed to the east.

There were several tables and chairs there.

It seems that there should be a place where officials of the department sit; sometimes people from the Hanlin Academy have to write imperial edicts here, and other officials in the yamen work.

So neither of them went to the throne above and walked to the place where the officials sat.Zhu Gaoxu pulled a chair and sat opposite Gao Chi, and the two of them were separated by a book case covered with a red tablecloth.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't speak, and sat silently with a thoughtful expression.His mood is still very impetuous, or because his emotions are too intense today, but he is slowly calming himself down a little.

The huge imperial city, capital, and the complex Ming Dynasty suddenly fell into his hands.

Although Zhu Gaoxu won, a lot of matters were immediately placed in front of him, and they had to be handled one by one... After all, the victory that took so much effort and life to achieve was achieved, and the good situation should continue.

Gao Chi also looks worried. In fact, he is now relaxed from a certain angle. But he should have something extremely concerned about in his heart.
