At this moment, Zhu Guoqiang's heart was that regret!

Even the intestines are repentant!

How can it not be green!

What has he been looking ahead to over the past few years? Isn't it the orthodox name of Chongzhen? I want to inherit the throne more openly than usurping the throne.

But for the sake of this fairness, I have been delaying it until now, of course, it is not a delay, after all, this Jiannu has just been solved for more than a year, but it is this year, look at how far the rogue has become rampant now.

How many big things have happened this year?

In the first month, when he was still in North Korea, Li Zicheng captured Chengtianfu, which was also the birthplace of Emperor Jiajing, Anlu Prefecture in Hubei, where he was promoted to "Fengtian Advocacy of Righteousness and Civil and Military Generalissimo". In March, Xiangyang was changed to Xiangjing, called "King Xinshun". In May, Zhang Xianzhong Kewuchang established the "Great West" regime. In August, the superintendent Sun Chuanting had 100,000 troops out of the customs. In September, he confronted Li Zicheng in Jiaxian, and later defeated the Ming army and beheaded more than 40,000 people. Subsequently, Li Zicheng took advantage of the victory and swung westward. In October, Li Zicheng broke through Tongguan, killed Sun Chuanting, and occupied the whole province of Shaanxi. Well, there's no news yet, but it's a matter of time.

If a year ago, he used this "Daming Tongbao" to steal Chongzhen's orthodoxy, and now there are Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong!

Looking at the prince whose expression was changeable, and even a little ugly, Ming Zheng asked.

"What are you thinking?"

"I want to usurp the throne!"

In an instant, Ming Zheng was dumbfounded, this stupid white and sweet emperor, even thought of his own emperor throne, if you want it, you can take it, then you can usurp it, anyway, everyone is a master,

"Usurpation what?"

"The throne of the Great Ming!"

Looking up at Ming Zheng, Zhu Guoqiang said solemnly.

"A clan relative who doesn't want to usurp the throne is not a good clan! It's late, it's late, it's too late! ”

Yes, no matter how late it is, I have to do it. Hurry up, get the minting machine on and contribute to the cause of usurpation!

……

When Zhu Guoqiang was angry and tried to be strong there, he took the most critical step towards the great cause of usurping the throne. Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, couldn't imagine that someone wanted to usurp the throne at this time. Even if someone stood up to usurp the throne, he would probably happily hand over the throne to him.

It's too difficult for this emperor of the Ming Dynasty to be!

Sixteen years!

Chongzhen only felt that the past sixteen years seemed to be on a muddy road, a year of sadness and a year of difficulty, the deeper the road became, the more difficult it was to walk on both feet, not to mention, and the deeper and deeper it became. New troubles and difficulties awaited him. Often one affliction has not yet passed, and the second affliction comes again, sometimes even several afflictions come at the same time.

Why is this happening?

Sometimes he seems to understand, sometimes he doesn't, he doesn't understand at all!

Until now, he has not broken off his desire to be the "master of Zhongxing" in the Ming Dynasty. Especially last year, when the news of Liaodong's restoration came, he showed more than once that he was the "master of Zhongxing" of the Ming Dynasty.

But just a few months later, from the beginning of the first month, he did not openly say to his subordinates that he wanted to be the "master of Zhongxing", but he refused to give up and still silently held hope.

After this year's New Year's Festival, from Chengtianfu, which was the hidden residence of Emperor Sejong, was conquered by thieves, and then there were successive defeats, which greatly frustrated his hopes of "Zhongxing".

After the great victory outside the Guan, the bandits in the Guanwai were defeated again and again, which overdrew almost all of his confidence. He originally pointed out that after the great victory outside the Guan, the imperial court could do its best to clean up the Liukou in the Guan, but he never thought that the Liukou would become stronger and stronger.

On the other hand, what about the officers and soldiers?

Defeat after defeat.

When all kinds of unfortunate military defeats were reported to him one after another, what he could do every day was to pray to the heavens at dawn on the Danbu of the Qianqing Palace, and often went to the Fengxian Hall to kneel in front of the ancestors and pray with tears, hoping that the "spirits in heaven" of the heavens and the two ancestors could bless him.

But it's been many days. But there is no turnaround for the rest of the country.

What to do?

What's going on over there in Tongguan now?

Again, Chongzhen thought of Sun Chuanting, and he didn't know how the war was going in Ruzhou, did he Sun Chuanting solve the thieves for the imperial court?

It was at this time that I saw Wang Chengen come in in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the hall, he said in a panic.

"Emperor, Sun, Sun Chuanting is defeated!"

What the!

"How is this possible, how can he be defeated by Sun Chuanting leading 100,000 horses!"

Chongzhen asked loudly in horror, and then the first assistant Chen Yan and several ministers also came over. He watched the secret performance of other people again, and immediately scolded angrily, and then wept bitterly, sighing that Sun Chuanting was a mediocre talent and lived up to his trust, at this time, he obviously would not mention the matter of ordering him to go out of the customs a few more times.

"Your Majesty, although Inspector Sun is a saint, he has been killed on the spot, and the minister thinks that he should be given a gift."

"See the corpse?"

Chongzhen asked in annoyance,

When Chen Yan heard this, he had to answer.

"Many of the corpses on the battlefield were chopped down with knives and axes. It's really nowhere to be found. ”

"How can it be proved that he has died on the spot if he has nowhere to be found, I think that he is likely to have committed a holy sin and absconded by fraud, in this case, how can I give him a gift!"

"Your Majesty,"

Chen Yan's face looked a little ugly, why is this majesty so unkind. But this thought flashed in my heart.

"Chen Yan, there is no need to discuss this matter again, I ask you, now that Sun Chuanting has been defeated, what is the situation in the Central Plains?"

"Back to Your Majesty, after Sun Chuanting's defeat in the army, the thieves deceived the Tongguan with their handsome banners, and the general soldiers Bai Guangen and Chen Yongfu surrendered to the thieves ......"

"What!"

There was news like a thunderbolt, so Chongzhen couldn't speak.

"Zhongqing, eye, now that Tongguan is lost, this, how is this next! Do you let the thieves run rampant in the Central Plains and kill our people? ”

Facing the emperor's question, Chen Yan hesitated.

"Your Majesty. I am afraid that the only way to save the situation is to invite the Liaodong border army to enter the customs. ”

Liaodong Border Army!

What are the Liaodong border army?

It is nothing more than Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army, as well as Zu Zerun's "Ning Jin Army", but they are there to guard against Jiannu and Zhu Ciying.

"It's not impossible to transfer the eastern border army of Liaodong into the customs, it's just ......"

Chongzhen pondered for a moment and said fiercely:

"Zhu Ciying is arrogant and domineering, I have endured it in every possible way, and I still don't know how to change! Transferring the eastern border army of Liaodong into the customs will not leave it unchecked. ”

The emperor's answer made Chen Yan immediately become mute, and Wei Zaode and other ministers also watched their ears and noses and noses and hearts without saying a word.

Jiang Dejing said carefully:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Zhu Ciying is arrogant and domineering, but at present, the atmosphere in the Central Plains is rampant, and there is no peace, and it is not easy to find a general like him with experience and strategy. I hope that Your Majesty will look at the big picture and wait for it to be overcome. With Zhu Ciying here, not only are the thieves fearful, but even the thieves also have scruples, and they can't be wanton in the Central Plains. Seeing that the thieves did not dare to divide the troops in Shandong, it can be seen that the prestige of the general of Pingyu, the minister thought that if he was the commander and led the troops back to the Central Plains, he would definitely be able to pacify the Liukou. ”

What the!

Staring at Jiang Dejing, Chongzhen asked loudly.

"Jiang Dejing, you have repeatedly suggested that the captives enter the customs, what is your intention!"

"Your Majesty, Zhu Ciying is arrogant and domineering, but it is indeed a rare good general, since he can be captured, he must also be able to sweep the prisoner!"

Jiang Dejing held the wat board in his hand and said loudly.

"The minister is willing to guarantee with his life, as long as His Majesty gives an order, the general will definitely enter the customs after receiving the essence and sweep away the thieves."

"You, Jiang Dejing......"

Staring at Jiang Dejing, Chongzhen barely said - how much money did you accept from him, but looking at his appearance, Chongzhen certainly knew that what he said was implementation. So he pondered for a moment and asked:

"Will Zhu Ciying be able to quell the rogue soon?"

"Your Majesty, who in the world doesn't know the name of the general who is good at fighting? With tens of thousands of strong soldiers, the first defeat of Dolgon made him flee to the north of the desert, so far he did not dare to commit the Central Plains again, and then defeated the chieftain, so that he fled overseas, did not dare to look at Shenzhou again, and now Liaodong has been restored, and the general of Pingyu has made great contributions, even if it is in the middle of the rogues, it is also deterred by its prestige, and he does not dare to look at Shandong half a step, whether it is his prestige, or the elite under his command, it is far from the average general can look at it. Since the beginning of the year after the defeat of the chieftain, he played several times, wanting to lead the troops into the pass to pacify the Liukou, the minister thought that he could order him to lead the elite soldiers into the pass to pacify the thieves, so that the world would be stable......"
