What does "Siguo Palace" mean?

I don't know if I know that I am at great fault, and Emperor Chongzhen's heart suddenly became empty: Siguo Palace, as the name suggests, is the palace of the Son of Heaven? And thinking about it is to close the door! Could it be that the rebel son wants to imprison me in this dark palace of thought?

When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he wanted to turn his head and leave, but he heard Zhu Cihong shouting from afar: "Father is here!" The sons respectfully invite their fathers, Emperor Saint! ”

Suffered, the rebel has arrived!

Emperor Chongzhen also knew that he couldn't leave, how could he let him go? He, the emperor, is a bare pole to put it bluntly, and even the soldiers guarding the Xipu Palace are not his own, where else can he go?

"Father, you're here!" Zhu Cihong kowtowed to Emperor Chongzhen according to the etiquette, and then stepped forward to pull the arm of the emperor who was in a daze, "Siguo has prepared a room for you in the palace, you first settle down with your sons, and then discuss how to think about it when you settle down." ”

Do you really want to imprison me here? Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cihong, who had a hideous smile on his face, and just sighed softly.

In fact, this day was already expected by him!

He is the emperor who has lost power and is imprisoned! It's good to be able to stay alive, but it's really hard to restore it. Although there was a restored Emperor Ming Yingzong in the history of the Ming Dynasty, how could Emperor Jingtai's ability be compared with Zhu Cihong's rebellious son?

The rebels have so many sworn friends, and they also have so much land, gold and silver, and their foundations are getting stronger and stronger, and they are difficult to shake...... But he can't imprison his father next to Xiaoling - although this is the outer city of Nanjing, it is really desolate and cold. And it's a bit shabby no matter how you look at this palace!

Li Shimin also knows that the Daming Palace was built for Li Yuan, what kind of palace do you think about if you are a rebel? This is not going to work, I will not agree!

"Brother Chun'er......" Chongzhen looked at his son pitifully, wanting to ask for mercy, but he couldn't say it.

"Father, come on......" Zhu Cihong looked at Emperor Chongzhen strangely, but he didn't take it to heart, he just pulled him to the Siguo Palace, "Father has to stay in the Siguo Palace for a while this time." ”

Finished! It's really a rebel who has been caught and locked up! Chongzhen's heart was wow cool and cool, and he didn't have the heart to listen to Zhu Cihong's words, but Mu Zhimu Jue was led into the Siguo Palace by Zhu Cihong, and entered a hall that had just been completed and still exuded the fragrance of wood, and was led to a chair to sit down.

This faint gentleman has already thought about it? Zhu Cihong looked at Chongzhen like this, and thought to himself: Actually, you don't need to think about it, what else are you thinking? Be honest when you are your "Ming Huizong"! Anyway, there is financial freedom, and the stunning beauty will not be missing you, and the body looks good, and the age is only 34 years old, so blessed people don't have to be busy!

After the father and son were seated separately, the thirty-three kings, the six Shangshu Pavilion guys, and several guards of the Generalissimo's Mansion, as well as Zhang Shize, the imperial history of the right capital, Li Mingrui, the imperial history of the left capital, and Xu Yunzhen, the prince of Dingguo, Guo Peimin, the Marquis of Wuding, Chen Yanzuo, the Marquis of Taining, Wu Ruzheng, the Marquis of Gongshun, and Gu Zhaoji, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and a number of princes in Beijing, all of them rushed in, and then lined up in two rows and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Get up, all of you, all of you, all of you." Zhu Cihong beckoned everyone to sit down, and then sighed, "Everyone, we've been in Nanjing for a few months...... There has been no official worship of the filial piety tomb. Alas, it's not for the repair work, it's not that there is no time, but I don't know what to say in front of the underground palace of Emperor Taizu Gao? ”

"What can you say?" Emperor Chongzhen suddenly opened Chrysostom, "I am guilty of bowing, and there is no way to do it; All sides are guilty, and the sin is in my bow......"

This is the Analects. The words on the Yao Yue Chapter are said to have been said by Yao when he gave Shun the Zen position. It is also a cliché when the kings of later generations issued the "Edict of Guilt". Emperor Chongzhen didn't know if he really believed in this set or said that he was used to it, so he would come as soon as he opened his mouth anyway.

"Father," Zhu Cihong looked at Chongzhen sympathetically, "This sin is just a matter of fooling the people, we can't really believe it!" ”

"What? The world has fallen to the point where it is now, isn't it that I, the emperor, have no way? "Emperor Chongzhen's attitude of admitting his mistakes is good, but the problem is that he doesn't know what is wrong at all?

Zhu Cihong shook his head: "My father is naturally unreasonable, but there are too many unrighteous people in the world, and I am not my father!" It is all the monarchs who have gathered here today, and there are many people who are not enlightened! ”

"This ......" Chongzhen was stunned, "haven't you always been on the lips of this loyal minister and that meritorious hero, why have you become a minister of the dead country now?" ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head: "They are not ministers of the dead country, but ministers of the weak country!" The country is weak because of them, but if there is a wise and martial king, who knows where the country's problems are, works hard to manage it, and works hard to maintain it, he can still calm Liaodong, exterminate the Liukou, and restore the Ming Dynasty to a half-dead and peaceful situation.

However, in today's situation, we can't just rely on Mingjun, but also have solid ministers...... And to be honest, we must know how our country has been corrupted to the current situation!

We're gathered here to find out what's wrong! This palace is not to pursue anything, and there is nothing to pursue! Because you, like this palace, have already suffered heavy losses because of the lack of way...... Most of you are kings who have lost their domains, princes who have lost their family business, and scholars who have lost their hometowns. Although I have received some rewards and can live my life, the wealth of the past is gone, and I think I should know that it hurts! ”

It turned out that Zhu Cihong was not looking for trouble with Chongzhen, but really wanted to review the gains and losses of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years - only when everyone knows the gains and losses and knows why they have fallen here, can the next step of reform have enough momentum!

"Wow!"

As soon as Zhu Cihong said something, there were already people in the hall crying loudly. The person who cried was none other than the blessed king Zhu Yousong!

The fat man's life is miserable! Playing small is a pampered nobleman, and there is everything in the palace, which is simply a paradise on earth. But as soon as Li Zicheng came, he was all finished, even his parents, wife and children were gone, and he was left alone.

Although Zhu Cihong gave him another mansion, another 10,000 acres of land, and some gold and silver. But the fat king is lonely and miserable, and his health is not good, except for borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, he can't do anything, how can he not be bitter?

As soon as he took the lead, the hall burst into tears. Most of the thirty-three kings are bitter kings, only King Heng's lineage is still complete, and the other families are scattered, and some have become bare-bones princes, which is bitter to think about.

As for those princes and marquises, they are all the same, who is not a big family when they are in Beijing? How many are left now? Who doesn't have a bunch of loved ones dying in troubled times? It's miserable to think about!
