Transformed into a Princess of the Late Ming Dynasty: Invincible
Chapter 72: The Eye of Heaven - The End of Ming Dynasty 1 Unification (2) (Today's 3rd update)
A little further away, the eunuchs and palace maids, who had been active all day and had already relaxed and fallen asleep, were pressed to the bed by an invisible force in their dreams, unable to move. They stared blankly with confused looks on their faces.
Dangdang Dangdang!
Late at night, the sound of weapons falling to the ground was particularly crisp, and the huge golden eyes revealed a look of doubt. Could it be that someone was rebelling?
Then he sensed the outside of the door and saw guards lying on the ground, but no rebels or rioters. He couldn't help but think of the pressure he had just inadvertently released...
Sensing the dawn that was about to break in the sky, inside the Qianqing Palace, the Eye of Heaven floating in the hall underwent a spatial transformation, and then turned into a human form, standing inside the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Mianzhu looked at the crown, clothes, knee-guard, belt, jade pendant, and shoes beside her. They all fit her and were embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons in gold thread.
For some reason, looking at this five-clawed golden dragon, I feel that it is a bit ugly. Moreover, the five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on the clothes does not suit me. The sun, moon and stars are more suitable.
Just as Zhu Mianzhu was hesitating, a soft voice accompanied by the distinct aroma of burning incense came from outside the Qianqing Palace:
"Your Majesty, the time has come."
Zhu Mianzhu looked through the rice paper on the window at the dark palace outside and said:
"come in."
Afterwards, she bathed and changed her clothes with the help of four palace maids. As the sky gradually brightened, Zhu Mianzhu put on the crown symbolizing the throne.
Originally, there was a series of complicated rituals involved in inheriting the throne, but the Ming Dynasty was now in turmoil, and Zhu Mianzhu did not like these things.
To worship heaven and earth, does that mean she has to worship herself?
When worshiping the country, there is no place for heaven and earth to worship these small gods.
All of this needs to be changed drastically, and at least Zhu Mianzhu has to take action to crush those rebel forces. In the past, they were pampered because they were useful. Now, sorry, the natives of the late Ming Dynasty have to see the consequences of being enemies of gods and heaven and earth.
At the Taihe Gate, the guards who had been waiting for a long time saw Zhu Mianzhu about to step into the Taihe Gate, and then touched the bronze bell next to them as a reminder. As the bronze bell rang, the ministers who had been waiting for a long time below the stage all knelt on the ground.
When Zhu Mianzhu sat on the golden chair, the guard rang the bronze bell again, indicating that the ministers could stand up.
However, when the civil and military officials in the audience saw Zhu Mianzhu sitting upstairs, they were all shocked. Some of them even rubbed their eyes, looking incredulous. Could it be that the princess really usurped the throne?
Zhu Mianzhu looked at the nearly one thousand officials below the stage, all of whom had expressions of astonishment. She then raised her hand and signaled the palace guards next to her to read the imperial edict.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: I have reigned supreme for over ten years, having received the favor of Heaven. However, I am ill. Considering the fundamental importance of the nation and its people, I must select a virtuous and capable successor. The eldest daughter, Zhu Mianzhu, is gifted with intelligence, benevolence, filial piety, gentleness, and respect, and is diligent and dedicated, making her worthy of this great responsibility."
"I now pass the throne to the eldest daughter, Zhu Mianzhu. I hope she will respect Heaven and follow the example of her ancestors, be close to the virtuous and stay away from flatterers, love the people as her own children, and ensure the eternal stability of our Great Ming. You, the ministers, should do your utmost to assist the new emperor and protect the country together."
After the palace guards finished reading the imperial edict, the ministers below did not care that they were in the court. They all turned their heads left and right and looked at their colleagues, as if they wanted someone to reprimand them.
Soon, everyone's eyes turned to the group of censors in the middle and back.
One of the censors seemed to have received instructions and stepped out of the queue, walked to the front of the middle, then bent down slightly, leaned forward, and said:
"Since the First Emperor unified the country, there has never been a law that allows a woman to be emperor. Whether it is in the ancient Zhou rituals or the laws established by our ancestors, it is not allowed."
"What you are doing now is a violation of our ancestral system. I fear that this will disrupt order and harm the foundation of our country. Furthermore, the rebel army is about to attack Ningwu Pass. If Ningwu Pass is breached, they will soon be approaching the capital. Therefore, Your Highness the Princess urges His Majesty to return as soon as possible to take charge of the situation."
When Zhu Mianzhu heard this, she thought to herself: If I really invite Chongzhen back and have him pimp with you guys every day, I will be completely doomed.
Thinking of this, Zhu Mianzhu stood up from the dragon throne and walked to the steps of Taihe Gate. Then a voice spread in the air:
"If anyone else thinks I can't sit in this position, please stand up."
After hearing the sound from the air, the civil and military officials standing below immediately lowered their heads and kept silent, even the censor who had just spoken.
At this moment, they suddenly recalled the extremely bloody scene at the Meridian Gate several years ago, where hundreds of people were beheaded, and the miraculous means yesterday that were beyond the comprehension of mortals.
All of them immediately lowered their heads and looked inward, not daring to look at Zhu Mianzhu on the stage.
Zhu Mianzhu looked at the censor in the middle, and then golden light emanated from her body, gathering above her head. After a while, a small Eye of Heaven appeared in the world, opening its golden eyes and looking at the hundreds of officials below the stage.
Several officials in the back row who were secretly observing Zhu Mianzhu screamed and fell to the ground when they saw this scene.
The actions of these officials also aroused the doubts of the other officials, who then looked up at Zhu Mianzhu in front of the stage.
After seeing the golden eyes, a thought involuntarily emerged in my mind: this is the world, and He is the sky.
Hundreds of people lost their voices in front of the Taihe Gate. The prime minister and the ministers standing in the front instantly knelt on the ground. The actions of these people seemed to cause a chain reaction, and hundreds of ministers behind them knelt on the ground.
At this time, no one would say anything that was against etiquette or against the ancestral laws.
The Son of Heaven was just an emperor in the mortal world who called himself the Son of Heaven, but what was before him was Heaven himself descending into this mortal world. As the Eye of Heaven appeared, a faint pressure instantly swept across the Taihe Gate. Everyone felt the invisible pressure on their bodies, and they all trembled and broke out in cold sweat.
Among Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers, even if there is an Emperor, he is only ranked third. This is God in person, it doesn’t matter whether he is the Son of Heaven or not.
Zhu Mianzhu looked at the kneeling civil and military officials and guards in front of her and around her, then glanced at the censor in the middle. The golden eyes above her head emitted a golden ray, and when it was about to reach the censor's body, it suddenly changed into a grid, and the standing body followed it, like a toppled building block, scattered all over the ground in an instant.
This!
At this time, there was silence in front of Taihe Gate. The civil and military officials, who were originally noisy and had wandering eyes, suddenly fell silent. No one expected that Her Royal Highness the Princess would take direct action and execute the censor in an extremely horrific way.
Zhu Mianzhu looked at the group of corrupt officials below, and then a cold voice sounded in the air:
"I'm not here to negotiate with you today, I'm just here to inform you. Either you accept it or..."
dead!
