Zhang Wuji and Zhao Linger walked slowly to Zhou Zhiruo.
The three of them smiled at each other, and then Zhou Zhiruo took out a piece of yellow cloth from her arms.
Zhou Zhiruo took a few steps forward and waved gently to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers below.
She has graceful manners and is very elegant, like a fairy from heaven fallen into the mortal world.
Only at this moment today, all the soldiers dared to openly cast their eyes on Zhou Zhiruo.
Similarly, only at this moment today would Zhou Zhiruo not feel disgusted with the group of men below.
Zhou Zhiruo cleared her throat, spread out the yellow cloth in her hand, and shouted in her heavenly voice: "By the order of Heaven, the leader of the Ming Cult, Zhang Wuji, follows the will of Heaven and saves the people. He is the heroic ruler of our Chinese land. Today, I change the name of [Ming Cult] to [Ming Dynasty]. May our Great Ming be blessed forever, and may the people of the world share in peace."
"Zhao Linger is dignified and virtuous, possessing both moral integrity and talent. Today she is canonized as the Empress of the Ming Dynasty. I hope she can assist Your Majesty and complete the great cause of unifying the world as soon as possible."
After Zhou Zhiruo finished saying these words, she turned around and slowly knelt down in front of Zhang Wuji and Zhao Linger: "Zhou Zhiruo greets Your Majesty and the Queen."
Out of respect for Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Linger quickly helped her up and said, "Sister, you are too proud of me. You are trying to embarrass me to death."
But after Zhou Zhiruo was helped up, hundreds of thousands of soldiers under the palace knelt down on the ground in unison: "Greetings to Your Majesty, Greetings to Her Majesty."
The sound resounded throughout heaven and earth.
It was as if the whole world was shaking, and the earth was trembling.
Even in Jinyang City, the hundreds of thousands of onlookers knelt on the ground without exception.
Whether it is Zhang Wuji's hundreds of thousands of soldiers who hope that he can become emperor, or the people in the city, no one is an exception.
After all, it was Zhang Wuji and his soldiers who rescued these people from the tyranny of the Mongols.
Hundreds of thousands of people knelt on the ground. Even Gong Wu in the crowd felt her legs go weak under such pressure.
She didn't want to kneel down to Zhang Wuji, but at this moment, she still knelt down.
Gong Wu was so angry that she punched her legs twice: "Damn it, why are these two broken legs not listening to me?"
Zhang Wuji, who was sitting on the palace, looked up to the sky and laughed. Although he had not yet unified the world, at this moment, he had fulfilled his wish. With the country in his hands and the beauty by his side, his current achievements were enough to comfort him for the rest of his life.
At this moment, a loud voice came from the crowd: "The Empress Dowager of the Yuan Dynasty wishes Zhang Wuji to ascend the throne and become emperor. She has specially sent a jar of fine wine and hopes that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will accept it."
This sudden sound shocked the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians present.
No one expected that the Empress Dowager Zhao Min of the Yuan Dynasty would actually send someone to congratulate Zhang Wuji.
Everyone in the world knows that Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min had just fought a great battle near Longcheng not long ago, with three to four hundred thousand casualties on both sides. Even after such a battle, Zhao Min actually came to congratulate Zhang Wuji.
Is this a genuine congratulation or a demonstration?
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were silent, all waiting for Zhang Wuji's reply.
Under the palace, Yang Xiao and other generals had already placed their hands on the hilts of their swords.
As long as Zhang Wuji said a word, they could tear this uninvited guest into pieces in an instant.
But no one expected it.
Zhang Wuji just laughed: "Okay, bring the wine up. Your queen mother and I have a strong connection. If we were not in different camps, we would definitely become good friends."
Among the crowd, a man held a jar of fine wine in both hands and walked quickly to the highest point of the temple.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were silent.
After the man walked in front of Zhang Wuji, Zhang Wuji grabbed the jar of wine.
Without saying anything, he took a few big gulps: "Good wine."
Zhang Wuji looked coldly at the man who brought the wine, and said to him loudly: "Go back and tell your queen mother to hurry up and prepare for war. It won't be long before I lead the troops eastward. If she surrenders outside the city, I will spare her life. If she resists stubbornly, I will kill her without a trace of her armor left."
Zhang Wuji's voice reached the ears of everyone present.
The thunderous cheers of "Long live" resounded through the heaven and earth again.
However, everyone admired Zhang Wuji's courage even more.
This was the wine sent by the Empress Dowager of the Yuan Dynasty, and he drank it without even thinking about it. This is definitely not something a normal person can do.
Afterwards, Zhang Wuji whispered to the man who brought the wine, "Go back and tell your Queen Mother that when she ascends the throne, I will also give her a gift."
…
What happened next was that Zhang Wuji hosted a grand banquet for the three armies.
During this period, Zhang Wuji also pardoned the entire Hexi area for one year's tax.
After Zhang Wuji said this news, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were shocked.
Even an emperor in a peaceful period could not do such a thing as directly exempting taxes, but Zhang Wuji did it.
However, the reason why Zhang Wuji was able to exempt Hexi from taxes for one year was mainly because he had Zhao Linger supporting him.
Zhao Linger is as rich as a country. Even though she has been constantly filling the financial holes for Zhang Wuji, she is still extremely wealthy now.
The shops all over the world can generate a steady stream of wealth, and the silver bank she hides in Jiangnan also has several million taels of silver that can be mobilized at any time.
…
This day was the happiest day for Zhao Linger. If Zhang Wuji had not forbade her to drink, she would have gotten drunk.
