Chapter 364: Court Affairs

"The queen mother is still wondering if it is too much to hide the treasures in the palace outside the city before, this time, everything is still unknown" After Queen Zhou went downstairs, Zhu Cihong looked at her back with a solemn face.

"Internal and external troubles for more than ten years, how can it be that one side of the plaster is just pasted" Chang Yu smiled bitterly, stood up, and looked at the girl in the distance who looked back from time to time: "There is a long way to go, and you are alone!" ”

Zhu Cihong turned his head to look at him when he heard this: "Have you read before entering the palace?" ”

"When I was a child, I read with the village gentleman for a few years" Chang Yu casually panicked and covered up the past.

"You are not lonely, I am around in the wind and rain" Zhu Cihong stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder: "And at this time, although our strength in the court is small, we can be regarded as having someone to speak, and I believe that the court will gradually become more and more clear!" ”

Chang Yu was stunned: "Our people? You wouldn't be talking about the new first assistant Li Banghua, and the governor of Beijing, Wang Jiayan, etc., right? "Xindao, this kid is really childish and ridiculous!

"Yes, he was pushed up behind the scenes" Zhu Cihong looked as a matter of course.

Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The prince you think is too simple, I heard that Lord Shoufu is very dissatisfied with my trouble in the court, thinking that the nobles are the foundation of the country, how can I be so presumptuous, even if Wei Zhongxian is powerful, he does not dare to move lightly, so the cabinet has written to ask the emperor to issue an edict, this matter is not false."

Zhu Cihong was slightly embarrassed: "It's hard to explain the inside story this time, and it is reasonable for Lord Shoufu to complain, but it just made you feel wronged, but Lord Shoufu is a loyal minister, this is what you said."

"Of course he is a loyal minister, and this pot is also carried by our family, there is no complaint, I just want to tell you that Chen Yan, Li Jiantai and other corpse vegetarian ministers are disloyal and unjust, and they deserve to die, Shoufu and Wang Jiayan are indeed first-class loyal ministers, but loyal ministers are not equal to capable ministers, if you simply think that there are more loyal ministers in the court, you will be clear, that is really naΓ―ve, you see that now Shoufu is a loyal minister, and our family is also a loyal minister, but what, I won't let it go, in other words, how different from the rest of the people!"

Zhu Cihong was speechless for a while, bit his lip, and shook his head: "You are so well-informed about the affairs of the court."

"The size is also the head of the East Factory, although the East Factory has been in decline for many years, it is not difficult to inquire about the criticism of me in the court," Chang Yu smiled bitterly.

Anyway, "It's better to be a loyal minister than a traitor," Zhu Cihong patted his head and said.

Chang Yu laughed: "That's right"

Zhu Cihong said: "Although the first assistant and others have a complaint about the matter between you and Xungui, but you are also sure of your performance in the battle of Taiyuan, the emperor has personally recounted your military exploits in the court, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all ashamed, if this matter is hearsay or Jinyiwei and other ministers, it may not be fully believed, but it is the cabinet itself to draw out the excerpts, most of these excerpts are Cai Maode, Zhou Yuji and other Taiyuan officials, and the details are very detailed, do not allow the ministers not to believe, and because of this, the court scolds you a little less! ”

"People are doing it, the sky is watching, right and wrong are in the hearts of the people, the young people form a party for personal gain, and they are mercenary, but some sensible courtiers are clear in their hearts" Chang Yu smiled slightly.

Zhu Cihong nodded: "So I plan to find an opportunity to probe the wind in the afternoon, and operate to see if they can blow the wind to my father and let you go to Henan to suppress bandits!" ”

The crown prince is not allowed to interfere in politics, but Chang Yu knows that Zhu Cihong will not be stupid and go directly to the cabinet to find the ministers and let them play, so he is naturally behind the scenes to push the curve to save the country, although he can't interfere in politics, but the officials in the East Palace are all courtiers, such as Li Mingrui, the first minister to eat crabs and suggest that Chongzhen move south.

And the most important Li Mingrui's teacher and backstage is Li Banghua, the first assistant at this time, in fact, he wants Li Mingrui to release the southward move to test Chongzhen.

So Chang Yu believes that the prince can do this!

"At this time, the sooner the better, the thieves have been hit hard in Taiyuan, and they will ravage the Central Plains if they can't afford to lose their hearts, and it is very likely that they will fight from the north to Beijing City, we don't have much troops in the Central Plains at this time, if he goes crazy, who will stop him!"

Well, Zhu Cihong nodded solemnly: "I'll go to find Li Mingrui in the afternoon."

"Why don't you see Gong Gong's horse?" Chang Yu suddenly thought of Gong Yonggu, you must know that he is the most loyal to Chongzhen at this time, and he is the most friendly with him and the prince, this time he returned to Beijing Gong Yonggu should come to meet, but there is no trace.

When Zhu Cihong heard this, his expression moved, and he looked at Chang Yu with a solemn face and said, "Do you know why I trust you so much, and why does my father trust me?" It's all because of what you dream! ”

Chang Yu was stunned at first when he said this, and then he was shocked: "Princess Yong'an died of illness?" ”

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly: "Yes, just two days ago, the horse was grief-stricken!" ”

Chang Yu was silent for a moment, looked up at the frozen lake of Taiye Pool, reflected by the sunlight like a mirror, and sighed deeply, Gong Yonggu and Princess Yongan fell in love with each other very much, and the princess's death could be regarded as fatal to him!

Zhu Cihong saw that his face was heavy, so he changed the topic: "Let's tell you something about the DPRK, it's disgusting."

Chang Yu smiled bitterly and nodded slightly, he knew that Zhu Cihong could now listen to politics in the court and knew a lot of state affairs: "Pick up something that is not too disgusting, I don't want to be unable to eat lunch"

"It's not too disgusting, only more disgusting" Zhu Cihong looked hateful: "Don't talk about those who are smoky, just tell you about those rebels who eat the king's fortune and are not loyal to the king!" ”

"What can I say about this, now most of the civil and military departments of the Manchu Dynasty are like this" Chang Yu looked mocking, and Zhu Cihong's hatred was even stronger: "It's okay to be a thief, when the thieves and soldiers are coming to the city, those generals who should have killed the enemy to serve the country are also like this, it's really hateful......"

Chang Yu finally understood, before he left Beijing, the thief army was pressing on Taiyuan, and Chongzhen knew that there was a worry about the death of the country in the future because of the prince's dream, so he ordered the world's soldiers and horses to be the king!

However, except for Tang Tong, who was ordered to march in a hurry, the others ...... Wu Sangui grinded and chirped for a while, and then played a meeting to make the emperor think twice, after all, Shanhaiguan is the north gate, the Qing army is eyeing outside, and the withdrawal of troops will be a big matter for a while, and the people will be burdened, so they are not in a hurry...... In the end, no troops were sent, but fortunately, as soon as the battle in Taiyuan ended, Chongzhen saw that the danger was gone, so he let him stay in Shanhaiguan again.

If it is said that although Wu Sangui is ink, at least he has made an appearance, and Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, directly said that he had a foot injury, and Zuo Liangyu was negotiating the price with Chongzhen, because he was beaten by Li Zicheng.

Previously, Chongzhen was anxious about their diligence, but Chen Yan and others in the cabinet did not plan to edict (the emperor's edict must be drafted by the cabinet) because they were afraid of responsibility, but fortunately, Chongzhen quickly removed Chen Yan, Wei Dezao and others and replaced Li Banghua, and the edict was sent out in an eight-hundred-mile hurry.

Historically, Wu Sangui grinded and chirped, and the thief army had already broken through the city gate before he arrived in the capital, Liu Zeqing couldn't come up, and the emperor rewarded him with forty taels of silver to treat his foot injury, and also sent an earl to pull him in, but the people still didn't come, Huang Degong was afraid, and Zuo Liangyu, who was far away in Wuchang, heard that the thief was changing color and was negotiating the price with Chongzhen, who knew that the price had not been negotiated, and Daming died!

And at this moment, history repeats itself, except for Tang Tong, who led 8,000 people to wander around the periphery of the capital, the rest of the people are as usual!

"Shanhaiguan is very important, Wu Sangui is understandable, Zuo Liangyu is far away in Jiangxi, but Liu Zeqing and Huang Degong are close in front of them, but they are so prevaricated, in fact, they are hateful" Zhu Cihong's hateful eyes erupted with fire.

"Huang Degong is crusading against the rebel Liu Chao at this time, and it is understandable that it is difficult to be separated, but Liu Zeqing's house is really hateful" Chang Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly, the national disaster is at the head, the wind and rain are extremely shaky, and the one who has soldiers in his hands in this world is the master, these generals support the soldiers and are self-respecting, and they are cold-eyed and waiting for the price to sell, so even the emperor dares to be angry and dare not speak, and he is low-level.

"As long as this guy falls into my hands, he will definitely be killed" Chang Yu sneered.

Zhu Cihong glanced up at him: "Father has ......" said that he couldn't help but glance around, and then said: "This guy has tens of thousands of soldiers, and he is only afraid of ...... if he kills"

"Of course it won't be like killing Jiang Jiu" Chang Yu smiled: "This is all an afterthought, at the moment, the most urgent moment is to quickly ask the Holy Lord to allow me to go out of Beijing to Henan to suppress bandits, and the prince needs to deal with this matter immediately."

"It's like this" Zhu Cihong looked up at the sky: "It's noon, since my father hasn't summoned you yet, why don't you go back to the East Palace, let's get some wine and food, and chat while eating."

Chang Yu looked at the sky when he heard this, and shook his head slightly: "The celebrant has a banquet, can you go with you?" ”

Zhu Cihong was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that he laughed and said: "What kind of system does my prince sit with you and a group of eunuchs" He waved his hand and walked towards the stairs: "This palace is still looking for Li Mingrui to drink."

"Minors don't drink," Chang Yu said with a smile.

Zhu Cihong didn't look back, stretched out his hand and waved at him, and left with a long smile.
