On Chinese New Year's Eve, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly transferred the 5,000 Yulin Guards guarding the Jingshi Desheng Gate to the imperial city and camped in the west of Banzai Mountain, opposite the Yongwei camp in the east of Banzai Mountain.

Yulin Wei relied on the large number of people, and tried to drive away the Yongwei camp several times, but they were all frightened back by the Yongwei battalion's cannons, and the two sides began to enter a state of confrontation with the Xuanwu Gate at the north gate of the palace.

For a time, the situation was extremely tense, and the officials in Beijing who had been canceled their annual leave were even more nervous and panicked.

Zhu Cihong was furious, and ordered the tens of thousands of Tianwu stationed in Baoding Mansion to go north to Beijing, looking like they were hurting each other.

Chongzhen hesitated for a while, he was really afraid that this stunned young man would do something disobedient, he was still young, and he didn't want to learn from Li Yuan to live in the palace, let alone repeat the historical tragedy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killing his son.

Most of the courtiers chose to wait and see, and asked the family members to pay attention to the situation on the side of Wansui Mountain ten times a day, and a few people who did not know the height of the sky stood up to support the emperor, accusing Zhu Cihong of being rebellious and trying to force the palace.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, these righteous ministers died tragically at home, and the happy event turned into a funeral.

Not only that, all the belongings of their homes were sprinkled all over the Jingshi refugee area overnight, and everyone applauded the refugees, and the corrupt officials were not allowed to die.

Chongzhen decreed that the Zhengdan pilgrimage on the first day of the new year was canceled, and the reason given was that the entry of the Tartars into the customs was undecided, and the situation was erosive, so it was not suitable to congratulate.

The ministers began to speculate in various ways, and some people even began to secretly stand in line, such as Xue Guoguan, the first assistant of the cabinet, this uncle used to be Wen Tiren's younger brother, and when Wen Tiren was about to fall, he kicked the eldest brother, and took the initiative to show favor to Zhu Cihong, and mixed up on both sides of the emperor and the crown prince.

Over the years, Xue Guoguan has secretly done a lot of things for Zhu Cihong, so that Zhu Cihong has a lot less trouble in Beijing, and the cooperation between the two has always been very good.

In the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Cihong threw Xue Guoguan's prayer post into the furnace and ignored him.

Xue Guoguan was too greedy, and he was a fan of money, and he was useful to himself, so Zhu Cihong didn't solve him.

At this time, Xu Sheng said: "Your Highness, Yang Sichang is here." ”

"Let him in!"

Yang Sichang held his breath and saluted, and then asked, "Dare to ask Your Highness, is the Tianwu Army still under the control of the Ministry of War?" ”

Yang Sichang was very dissatisfied with Zhu Cihong's transfer of the Tianwu army to the north, and even labeled him a chaotic minister and thief in private.

Zhu Cihong said lightly: "No return, what's wrong?" Do you have an opinion? ”

Yang Sichang plucked up his courage and said, "Is the Wu Army still the army of the imperial court that day?" ”

Zhu Cihong frowned and said, "Yes, what advice do you have?" If it's not under your control, it's not the army of the imperial court? Does this prince's soldiers need you to command blindly? ”

Yang Sichang raised his voice and said, "It is taboo for the prince to lead the troops in all dynasties!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled instead: "Yang Sichang, this palace asks you, does this dynasty have a rule that the prince can't lead troops?" ”

Yang Sichang thought for a long time and didn't come up with any law in the Ming Dynasty that said that the prince could not be in charge of the army, and when he was speechless, he thought of a loophole again, and said: "There is no rule that the prince cannot be in charge of the army in the Ming Dynasty, but His Royal Highness will transfer troops without His Majesty and the Ministry of War, which is not in line with the rules, right?" ”

Zhu Cihong said cheekily: "What do you want?" Go to my father's sue me? ”

Yang Sichang is angry, can I sue you, why am I still here?

Zhu Cihong pointed at Yang Sichang and said: "Yang Sichang, this palace might as well tell you, if it weren't for your little effect, Lao Tzu would have chopped you with a knife!" Know where you are! ”

"Your Highness, you ......."

Just as the two were arguing with him, a shocking piece of news interrupted their argument.

"Elder Yang Ge, Shandong Urgent!"

Yang Sichang opened the newspaper and looked at it, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly rushed to the Qianqing Palace, even forgetting the etiquette, and Zhu Cihong was inexplicable.

.......

Yang Sichang sent a report, fell on the ground and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, the Dongyu has broken through the city of Jinan, His Royal Highness King De was killed, and the slave chief Dolgon ordered the slaughter of the city, slaughtering more than 800,000 people, the corpses are piled up, and the stench of decay fills the radius of dozens of miles!" ”

"W-that's true?" Chongzhen Teng jumped up from the dragon chair and ate his way.

Yang Sichang didn't dare to answer, such a shocking event, local officials must have dared to report it to the imperial court after many investigations and verifications, even if it was a gold-inlaid head, they would not dare to fake it.

Moreover, this report was jointly submitted by the chief officials of several prefectures and counties in Jinan Prefecture, and the data is detailed and true.

Wang Chengen set his eyes on the emperor's back, only to see that the emperor's body was shaking badly, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, because of the prince's matter, the emperor's mood was already very bad, and now there is such a bad thing, even the vassal king has been killed, I don't know how the emperor will face it.......

Chongzhen's face was already extremely ugly, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly had a shaky feeling, and then he only felt that his eyes were dark.......

The emperor's sudden fainting made the Qianqing Palace suddenly chaotic, and when Wang Chengen lifted Emperor Chongzhen from the dragon case, he saw that the front of his plain robe was covered with red blood.

The emperor actually vomited blood? Wang Chengen and Yang Sichang were suddenly frightened.

Wang Chengen, who had always been calm, was completely panicked, a little at a loss, Han San and other eunuchs in front of the palace hurriedly beckoned a few eunuchs to come over, and hurriedly helped Chongzhen to the imperial couch.

Wang Chengen regained his senses and immediately ordered Han San to go to the Tai Hospital to find the imperial doctor, and at the same time he strictly ordered: "What happened in the Qianqing Palace, no one is allowed to leak it, once the secret is leaked, wait for the Jiu clan!" ”

Several eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace were so frightened that they trembled, and they said yes again and again.

Yang Sichang nodded secretly, this matter can't be known to the prince, if something happens, he thought about it and decided to go to the cabinet to find a few ministers to discuss how to deal with it.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Chongzhen fainted, Zhu Cihong had already received the news, and he hurried to the Qianqing Palace.

After arriving at the Qianqing Palace, I saw that there were already several imperial doctors in front of the imperial couch, and Queen Zhou had also arrived.

Zhu Cihong looked at a few imperial doctors and asked, "How is my father?" ”

"This ......." several imperial doctors were speechless and peeked at Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor is fine, just rest for a while." ”

Zhu Cihong said unhappily: "Wang Companion, do you need to guard against this palace like this?" ”

Wang Chengen was silent, like a sculpture.

Queen Zhou said: "Emperor, come out, the queen mother has something to say to you." ”

Zhu Cihong answered, followed Queen Zhou out of the Qianqing Palace, and the two talked in the square in front of the palace, and there was no one around.

Empress Zhou was a little disappointed and said, "Emperor, why are you so impulsive?" ”

Zhu Cihong said: "The queen mother is the most ruthless emperor's family, and her sons need to have the ability to protect themselves. ”

Empress Zhou scolded: "Nonsense! Why is the emperor's family ruthless? In the past few years when you have been going south, your father has been very concerned about you, and often sent people to inquire about your situation, especially when you heard that when you fell into the water in the Yangtze River, your father almost fainted. ”

Zhu Cihong was a little surprised, and he didn't know if what the old lady said was true or not.

Empress Zhou said: "Everything you have done, your father and emperor have seen it, and they have praised you many times in front of me, saying that you are smart and studious, have outstanding abilities, and will be a wise lord in the future." ”

Zhu Cihong said suspiciously: "Father really said that? ”

Empress Zhou frowned and said: "Emperor, he is the emperor, his dignity is higher than the sky, some of the things you do make him very faceless, the queen mother knows your father very well, he is not convinced, he has worked hard for so many years, but he has not managed the country left by his ancestors, he wants to govern the country well, give an explanation to the ancestors, and then hand over the country to you." ”

Empress Zhou said again: "Emperor, the queen mother knows that you are smart, you have to understand your father, don't be rash." ”

Zhu Cihong didn't know what was going on in his heart, he bowed and saluted: "Thank you for the enlightenment of the queen mother, and the sons should keep it in mind." ”

.......

Why do some people always want the prince to force the palace? People can be crazy, but if they are inexplicably crazy, how embarrassing would it be?

What a lot of anger, if you don't agree with each other, you will force the palace, he is the prince, not a thief! Obviously there are 10 billion fixed deposits in the bank, so you have to grab them in advance?

Ordinary quarrels require twists and turns, Chongzhen's character is even more multiple, the more he studied, the more frightening he became, but don't worry, there won't be many scenes for him later.

It is impossible to force the palace, the confrontation has to be confronted, as soon as the palace is forced to collapse, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, if you don't write Li Zicheng, don't write about the real Ming atmosphere in Jiangnan, what's the point?

If you don't eat tomorrow, you have to add more.......
