The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 727
Although half a month has passed since the wedding of Prince Regent Jiang Chuan, it is still a popular topic of conversation among the people in the capital after dinner.

Although Jiang Chuan repeatedly asked to be as frugal as possible during the wedding ceremony, the grand scene made people excited, and the cumbersome process made Jiang Chuan physically and mentally exhausted.

It's just that the most impressive thing in the wedding ceremony was not the congratulations from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, nor the congratulations from the three kingdoms of Korea and Mongolia's special envoys traveling thousands of miles away, nor the beautiful and unparalleled princess Bai Jinxiu, but From a man almost forgotten by the world.

On that day, the grand and cumbersome ceremonies were carried out in an orderly manner. When the envoys of the various tribes of Mongolia and the special envoys of the kings of the three countries of Korea knelt down to congratulate each other and presented their respective rich and precious gift lists, according to the ceremony, the whole The basic process of a big wedding is almost the same.

The last link is that His Royal Highness the Regent will hold a grand dinner together with the princess in the evening, entertaining the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the envoys of Mongolia and North Korea.

Although according to folk traditions, there should be a bridal chamber.However, no one dared to make trouble in the bridal chamber of His Royal Highness the Regent. If that was the case, they would really die, so this link was naturally absent.

But just when the Minister of Rites, who was the master of ceremonies of the wedding, announced the end of the wedding ceremony, an accident happened.

He saw a person, a person he hadn't seen for a long time, appeared at the end of the red carpet.To be exact, there are two people, a young man walking in front, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, thin and thin, with gray temples, but his back is as straight as possible, as if he is maintaining his last dignity.

The man behind was wearing the clothes of a great eunuch, following behind the young man, step by step, with his back slightly bent.

The sudden appearance of the emperor and eunuch Wei Zhongxian made many people dumbfounded. They had no time to react, they just watched the emperor step by step towards the high platform at the end of the red carpet.

On the high platform are two protagonists dressed in red and flowers, in happy attire: Prince Regent Jiang Chuan and Princess Bai Jinxiu.

The ministers who came to their senses hurriedly turned their heads to look at the Prince Regent on the high platform, only to find that His Highness the Prince Regent was still smiling without any surprise.

Obviously, His Royal Highness the Regent obviously knew about the sudden appearance of the emperor who had been imprisoned in the deep palace for two years.Without his nod, the emperor would never be able to take a step deep into the palace.

Seeing the back of the emperor walking towards the high platform, the officials looked at each other, their eyes fluttered, realizing that an extremely unusual event was about to happen below, they couldn't help but hold their breath, waiting for that moment to come.

The emperor stopped not far from the high platform, and looked up at Jiang Chuan on the high platform.

Jiang Chuan's smile did not change, he walked down the high platform steadily, walked up to the emperor and nodded slightly: "It is a great honor for me to congratulate you personally on your grand wedding today."

After more than two years, seeing Jiang Chuan again, the emperor's originally calm mood suddenly became a little unstable, and his breathing began to become rapid. He looked directly at Jiang Chuan, as if trying to find a little bit of shame and fear from his face .

The shame and depression of being confined for more than two years gave him an urge to vent at this moment, and the huge gap between his identity and situation made him lose control of his emotions.Although before that, he had done countless times of self-comfort and psychological construction.

But he didn't see the expression he expected from the young man wearing the four-clawed golden dragon robe in front of him. Instead, the smile on the other party's face cooled down bit by bit, and there was gradually a sense of no one in his eyes. The evil spirit that can be stopped is gathering.

This caused the young emperor to regain his composure immediately like a basin of cold water poured down his head.

He remembered that his purpose of coming this time was to survive, not to die.

He hastily took a step back, tried his best to avoid the strong feeling of oppression emanating from Jiang Chuan's body, and tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "The regent is getting married today, please forgive me for the late congratulations. Wei Banban, Read out the list of gifts I sent to His Royal Highness the Prince Regent."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wei Zhongxian who was following behind, but saw that he was still in shock and his face was a little pale.

Obviously, he also noticed his reckless death just now, and was very worried about it.

Wei Zhongxian froze for a moment, then hurriedly responded, stepped forward, knelt down in front of Jiang Chuan, kowtowed three times and said, "Slave Wei Zhongxian congratulates you for being late, please forgive me for being old and ignorant! Slave congratulates Your Highness on your wedding, and wishes Your Highness and Your Majesty are blessed with good luck, a happy marriage for a hundred years!"

Seeing that the Emperor Zhiqu did not continue to challenge his patience, Jiang Chuan regained his smile, looked at Wei Zhongxian with a faint smile, and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Wei. Anyway, Eunuch Wei had a kindness with this king back then, so it can be regarded as a little bit of love. Some small things Wei Father-in-law don't have to worry about it."

Both sides are smart people, and both understand what the other is saying.

Wei Zhongxian felt relieved when he heard the words, and a big stone fell to the ground. Knowing that Jiang Chuan would not pursue the emperor's death for the time being, he hastily banged his head on the ground three times, and said in a crying voice: "Your Highness is merciful and loving, and my servant I am very grateful, and may Your Highness live forever!"

Longevity without boundaries?These words are obviously presumptuous. Originally, only the emperor could use them, but now Wei Zhongxian wished the regent a long life in front of the emperor. This is obviously not right.

The hearts of the officials trembled, and they all began to ponder the meaning of this.

Jiang Chuan glanced at Wei Zhongxian meaningfully, then helped him up modestly and said with a smile: "Eunuch Wei has a heart."

The emperor stood aside, trying to maintain a smile on his face, and said to Wei Zhongxian: "Wei Banban, read out my gift list quickly, and don't make the regent wait too long."

Wei Zhongxian got up, bowed to accept the order, took a few steps back, then took out a bright yellow scroll from his sleeve and slowly unfolded it and read:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: I have inherited the great rule for nearly three years, and I deeply feel that I have been humble and virtuous. I have repeatedly acted improperly, causing the people of the world to be displaced, bandits are rampant, wars are frequent, the people are in dire straits, the hearts of the people are scattered, the country will not be the country, it is true. Ashamed of the people of the world, ashamed of the ancestors of the ancestors. The regent Jiang Chuan is virtuous, wise and powerful, and he swept the world with thunderous force, so that the ministers can feel at ease, the people can live in peace, and the world is in peace. I am not as good as I am. Today, for the world For the sake of the people, for the sake of the country, I should abdicate to let the virtuous, and Zen is located in Jiangchuan, the regent. May he think of the common people, the country and the country, and work hard to govern, so that our Han family is as solid as gold, and our Han people are famous all over the world. From now on, I will be a farmer, and I will work in the fields, and I will make atonement for my sins. This is it! August [-]th, the second year of Wude in the Ming Dynasty."

Wei Zhongxian's voice was trembling at first, but it gradually calmed down.

He read very slowly, but he read every word very clearly. His voice echoed in the huge square, and echoed in everyone's heart.

This is not only an edict of guilt, but more importantly, it is also an edict of abdication.
