Chapter 693 Long live China! The power of the common people!

At this time, Zhu Youxiao saw that there were so many people outside Chengtian Gate that they seemed to be unable to insert the needle.

This made his mouth slightly raise.

There are indeed many people coming and they are very enthusiastic.

Many people even came with local treasures and intended to present them to the emperor they loved.

Because they really felt that over the past forty years of the Tianqi Dynasty, their material and spiritual life were greatly improved.

They knew that this was not only related to his hard work, but to the current emperor.

After all, they were very diligent and even much hardworking when the emperors were in power, but they did not live a wealthy life like they had in the past forty years.

Therefore, some people carried pangolins, some people held ginseng stained with soil, some people carried rhinoceros or tiger skin, crocodile skin, some people came directly with iron-eating beasts, and some rode elephants.

But because there are too many people, these people move very slowly, as if everyone has been frozen.

If there is an assassin at this time, it will be difficult for him to raise his hand and aim at Zhu Youxiao.

The voices were also very noisy. Some were waving to say hello to Zhu Youxiao and shouting something loudly. However, because the accents and contents of each sound were different, the vibration waves generated by each sound seemed to be cancelled out by another vibration wave at once, so that everyone's voices were blocked.

Zhu Youxiao, standing on Chengtian Gate, could not hear what everyone said clearly.

Geng Zhiyuan really wanted to shout out to the emperor who was close to him that he wanted to reform the court, but he knew that his voice would be offset.

He also knew that there were many people between him and the emperor now, and these people would be obstacles that he could not eliminate.

Geng Zhiyuan felt very desperate about this.

"Long live the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, thank you for not starving to death for more than 40 years ago. Now there is still a family of old people and the incense of our ancestors has not been cut off! Woo woo!"

"Your Majesty, I want to ask, why don't you have to pay the imperial grain now? If you don't pay the imperial grain, what are you eating? Could it be that you are really a god and don't have to eat anymore?"

"Your Majesty, this is my new rice, it's delicious. If you try it, you just don't know who to hand it over, hehe."

"Your Majesty, don't be soft-hearted. What those officials who write newspapers are not necessarily true. No matter how bad the factory benefits are, it is our workers' own factory. But if you really sell the factory to them, it is not our factory! As the saying goes, no matter how hard life is, the children only want to live with their parents. We just want to work with you, the emperor!"

...

Although Zhu Youxiao, who was standing on Chengtian Gate, could not hear everyone clearly, there were still many people below who actively spoke loudly.

Someone with a smile on his face.

Some even shed tears.

Some people expressed their views to Zhu Youxiao with a serious look on their faces.

Although Zhu Youxiao couldn't hear clearly, he seemed to understand what these people meant, so he asked the princes beside him: "Have you heard the sound of any reforms clearly now?"

Zhu Ciwei and other princes shook their heads and said they couldn't hear it.

"So, this only shows that the sound of reforms I heard before is not the voice of all the people, but can only represent a certain number of people!"

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile, then asked the princes: "Tell me, what do you think after seeing this scene."

Zhu Ciwei first glanced at the crowd outside and said, "Friendly! Each of them smiled very seriously, and the expressions they wore were very real. If a painter could draw this scene, in the opinion of a minister, if the Qingming River Map showed the grand occasion of the Northern Song Dynasty, then if you write a painting at this moment, it would be able to show the prosperous era of the Great Ming Dynasty in the Tianqi Dynasty."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded: "You reminded me! Wang Chengen sent an order to ask the palace painter to come here to draw the grand scene at this time."

"What the sons saw was fear. There were too many people, and many could obliterate all the sounds, making it difficult to control them."

Zhu Cican glanced at Zhu Ciwei and thought to himself, "What a grand scene!" Then he answered to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao just smiled slightly.

Zhu Cihui frowned and replied: "Father, my son-in-law thinks that the people are very unordered and messy, both men and women, and young and old. The butcher and a few scholars stay together. The hunters who criticized the animal skins were standing with the Confucian scholars holding books. They were really a mob!"

...

When Zhu Youxiao was listening to the remarks of the princes, the minister also looked at the sea-like people outside and started to whisper.

"Mr. Wen, how do you feel about this?"

Liu Hongxun asked about Wen Tiren at this time.

Wen Tiren sighed: "My emperor wins the hearts of the people!"

"How can I see it?"

Liu Hongxun asked with a smile.

"If it is unpopular, so many people flock to the capital today, they will not look like this. They will only be a group of chaotic people, like locusts passing through the border, stealing whatever they see. Now they are still carrying all kinds of rare treasures, and the business is orderly. Some children can even huddle in the crowd with pastries, but are not taken away. This shows what it means to be a solid warehouse that knows etiquette, and a sufficient food and clothing that knows honor and disgrace."

Wen Tiren replied.

"Sun saw a kind of power."

Sun Chuanting suddenly interrupted.

Liu Hongxun and Wen Tiren both turned their heads and looked at Sun Chuanting.

Lu Xiangsheng also looked at him and asked, "What power."

"The power of common people!"

Sun Chuanting looked at these people and replied.

Then, he said: "This force can be destroyed by the sound of reforms that have arisen by tens of thousands of people without a single soldier or bloodshed. It can make the merchants who have stopped the market give up the strike, and even let you, I, the nobles and nobles, hide behind Chengtian Gate now. Don't you think that even if a large army appears, it will be difficult to eliminate this force? So do you feel a little nervous?"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded: "Lu has never been afraid of anything in his life, even when he was fighting with the enemy on the battlefield and facing death! Only today is there really a little fear that comes to his heart. Only then can he understand the saying that people can carry boats or overturn the boats. Now where you and I are, is not like a ship on the sea. If there are really wind and waves, will the ship capsize and die?!"

As Lu Xiangsheng said, he looked at the emperor Zhu Youxiao, who was standing in the center.

The other ministers also looked at Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao kept looking at the people outside and suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Long live China!"

A look of excitement.

The people below became more restless and waved their hands and cheered enthusiastically. Although they couldn't hear what Zhu Youxiao said, they knew that the emperor must have said what they loved to hear.

"It's too late, I'll return to the palace! I also sent an order to the Chief Lishu to distribute the stock "Great Edict" and "The Emperor's Ming Hadith" to all the people for free. At the same time, I have to add the printing as much as the raw materials there are. I will send my order to the people and ask them to review carefully. In half a month, I will come to Chengtianmen to take the exam!"
