Zhu Cihong also nodded secretly when he heard this, feeling that moving south was the right choice.

At present, the imperial court's control over the Jiangnan region is getting weaker and weaker, and the tax revenue is getting less and less every year.

Zhu Cihong didn't understand why there were so many ministers who supported things that were unfavorable to the ministers? Could it be that these are the hidden loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty?

"Moving south is equivalent to giving up the nine sides and giving up the northern land! Such thieves are chaotic in government, please kill them with Your Majesty! ”

"Abandoning the border for no reason, how can you let the souls of the soldiers who have died in the nine sides for decades feel at ease? What is the difference between this and the slave's work? ”

"Your Majesty, please kill the person who proposed the move south!"

The ministers echoed one after another, all against the southward move, they pointed at the imperial history of the Imperial Court and said angrily, their eyes were full of scorching light, eager to swallow him, frightened the imperial history pale, and involuntarily wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

As soon as people's interests are harmed, they will become crazy, and the same is true of the literati who have read the books of the sages for so many years.

Wen Tiren had been observing Chongzhen's face on the throne, and he saw that the time was almost over, so he went out and said: "The minister proposes that the crown prince go to Nanjing to supervise the country!" ”

Wen Tiren's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, echoing in front of the Imperial Palace, and all the officials were shocked, looking at Wen Tiren with wide eyes, they didn't understand what this Shoufu Lord was crazy about today.

Can Wen Tiren be so kind? Zhu Cihong felt more and more that things were not so simple.

In the midst of a whispered discussion, Tang Shiji, the imperial historian of Zuodu, suddenly came out and said: "There is a palace in Nanjing, and there are various ministries and official offices, so let the crown prince go to Nanjing to supervise the country, do you want the crown prince to follow the story of Tang Suzong becoming emperor in Lingwu?" ”

In the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong led people all the way to Sichuan, and the crown prince Li Heng's suggestion to lead a counterattack against the rebels was refused, and the day after Ma Weiyi mutiny strangled Yang Guifei, Tang Xuanzong and the crown prince Li Heng parted ways.

Later, the crown prince Li Heng was enthroned as emperor in Lingwu, and Tang Xuanzong, who had taken refuge in Sichuan, was the emperor.

Tang Shiji compared Zhu Cihong to Tang Suzong, who established himself as the emperor, and compared Chongzhen to Tang Xuanzong, which is obviously a sentence of heart, this was originally Guang Shiheng's line in history, but I didn't expect that after Guang Shiheng was killed by him, someone would make such remarks.

The entire Imperial Palace instantly fell silent, and the hundred officials peeked at Emperor Chongzhen, whose face was uncertain on the throne.

Zhu Cihong's eyes were like lightning, staring at Tang Shiji and gritting his teeth: "Tang Shiji! ”

Tang Shiji had already let himself out, he didn't care about Zhu Cihong's anger at all, he always stared at Chongzhen's expression, he knew that as long as these words could touch the emperor, he would win.

As for framing the crown prince? This is all a trivial matter, the imperial history of the Ming Dynasty can say anything, even if the emperor marries a wife, he can insert a bar, and it is a small scene to say something to prevent it from happening, and at most he will be reprimanded and demoted.

Yang Tinglin came out of the class and said: "The crown prince led the army to drive away Jiannu, and he didn't ask for a reward, and there were even courtiers who framed His Highness for misdeeds, which is really ironic!" ”

Tang Shiji said: "This great victory is thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, thanks to the cabinet officials' strategizing, the front-line soldiers just did their duty, and the crown prince only played a role in supervision, and he still wanted to be greedy for heaven's work?" ”

The imperial historians and eunuch members of the Metropolitan Procuratorate echoed one after another, bluntly saying that the crown prince was greedy for heaven.

"Shameless!" Jiang Fengyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, snorted angrily, expressing his strong dissatisfaction.

Princeling officials also echoed it, accusing Tang Shiji and other eunuchs of being despicable and shameless.

Tang Shiji's face turned red, and he shouted: "The crown prince has 20,000 elite soldiers in his hands, all of them are in the capital division, if he seizes power, there will be no one to check and balance!" ”

Everyone's hearts trembled, Chongzhen's face was gloomy and about to drip water, and the right hand in his sleeve was clenched tightly.

Zhu Cihong couldn't bear this slander anymore, and he shouted angrily: "Yongchen traps me!" Kill you alone! As he spoke, he took out the embroidered spring knife of a brocade guard beside him and slashed at Tang Shiji.

This sudden scene made Tang Shiji's face stiff, his scalp numb, and he ran away without caring about his identity, hiding behind the dragon pillar in the hall.

Zhu Cihong didn't hit him with a knife, but he felt that the embroidered spring knife was quite heavy, so he dragged the embroidered spring knife on the ground and chased after him, and a long white knife mark was pulled out of the gold brick of the Huangji Palace.

The crown prince chased and killed the imperial history with a knife in public, and the ministers were shocked, and they all avoided the murderous Zhu Cihong, and the entire imperial palace was in chaos, and the brocade guards who escorted them quickly stood up to prevent the emperor from being injured.

Tang Shiji went around the pillar to avoid Zhu Cihong's slashing, very embarrassed, seeing that Zhu Cihong was still chasing and slashing him, he ran out of the Huangji Hall without saying a word, and Zhu Cihong chased him all the way out with a knife.

Chongzhen's hand trembled, his face was extremely ugly, he couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly shouted: "Catch them to Wenhua Palace!" After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

All the ministers were silent, Jiang Fengyuan, Yang Tinglin and others let out a long sigh, fortunately, the emperor did not let the crown prince tie up.

"Young people are young and vigorous." An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Wen Tiren's mouth, and some eunuch ministers also smiled at each other.

Zhu Cihong carried a knife and chased Tang Shiji all the way to the Jinshui Bridge, but was finally stopped by Jinyiwei.

Tang Shiji's soul was frightened, the whole person was paralyzed on the Jinshui Bridge, his face was pale, his teeth chattered up and down, and he looked at Zhu Cihong who was burning in his eyes with fear, and subconsciously moved back, and almost fell off the Jinshui Bridge, very embarrassed.

The two knelt in front of the Wenhua Palace, waiting for Emperor Chongzhen's punishment, but the distance between the two was arranged to be thirty meters, and it should be that Jinyiwei was worried that the crown prince would raise a knife to cut Tang Shiji again.

Afterwards, Tang Shiji was demoted several levels and demoted to the imperial history of Zuo Yandu, while Zhu Cihong canceled all military rights and was grounded in Zhongcui Palace.

Back in Zhongcui Palace, Zhu Cihong was still angry, and vowed to kill Tang Shiji of this dog's day!

On the same day, Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to depose Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, as a concubine, and sent him to Fengyang, the central capital, to be imprisoned within the high wall, and renamed his brother Zhu Yujian as the king of Tang.

This Tang King is the one who raised the army when the Qing soldiers entered the customs and invaded Beijing, and the clan relatives usurped the throne, most of them were carried out in the name of King Qin, Qing Jun's side, etc., and Chongzhen's ancestor Zhu Di was the one who came over.

After the difficulty of self-appeasement, Ming Chengzu ordered the dragon sons and grandsons not to leave the fiefdom without permission without following the edict, let alone enter Beijing easily, and completely offered their delicious food and drink to the fief as pigs.

When Zhu Cihong knew about King Tang, he felt a sigh in his heart, feeling that he couldn't see through Emperor Chongzhen more and more.

That night, Chongzhen went to bed in Kunning Palace, and Queen Zhou complained: "Tang Shiji, as the imperial history of the left capital, is familiar with the books of sages, but his character is so low, he deceived my emperor's young age, and actually caused the emperor's young age to be mad......"

"Enough! How did you know about the foreign court? Chongzhen pointed at Queen Zhou and said angrily, he has always hated harem politics.

Empress Zhou was taken aback by him, and said in a trembling voice: "It was the imperial sister-in-law who told me today....."

Chongzhen heard that it was Empress Yi'an, so he stopped talking, he remembered the instructions of his brother Emperor Tianqi before his death: "The middle palace has been with me for seven years, and I have benefited a lot, and I will be young and widowed in the future, good and pitiful, and good deeds in the middle palace." ”

For the entrustment of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Chongzhen never dared to forget, and Empress Zhang helped him ascend the throne, Chongzhen respected him very much.

After sighing, Chongzhen stopped talking and left Kunning Palace.
