The army of thieves was coming, but Zhu Cihong remained silent, because he knew that the army of thieves would not be able to reach the city of Tianjin at once. To the west of Tianjin, there is the Wei River (canal), and the wooden bridge over the river has been burned, so the situation is not particularly critical.

After Hao Shaoqi and his subordinates received the reward one by one, they went down to the military camp in the Tianjin Acropolis that originally belonged to the Tianjin Fubiao under the escort of "Wu Sangui" and "Yiding Tucai". Zhu Cihong called Li Ruolian and Wei Zaode, who had already taken off his dragon robe, to his side - of course Wei Zaode did not usurp the throne, because he looked dignified and was similar in age to Chongzhen, so he was arrested by Zhu Cihong, put on a dragon robe and pretended to be the emperor, and deceived Hao Shaoqi, an honest thief.

Zhu Cihong said: "Master Wei, Commander Li, you two will go out of the city immediately, and together with Wu Xiang, gather the officials, dependents, people, soldiers, horses, and materials outside the city.

The civil officials outside the city and their dependents, as well as Wang Qingtuo, were all under the control of Wei Bachelor, and the military attachés, Xungui's children and their dependents were all under the command of Li. The gold and silver escorted by the army and Huang Dabao were all managed by Wu Xiang. In addition, Wu Xiang is the commander-in-chief of all the horses outside the city! ”

After handing over the matter of collecting people and materials into the city to Wei Zaode, Li Ruolian, and Wu Xiang. Zhu Cihong took Wu Sanmei and a few henchmen of the guards and walked quickly into the courtyard full of corpses and the smell of blood.

In the courtyard, the door of the small building where Chongzhen and Zhou Hou were located had been opened, and Cao Huachun and Cao Youyi were guarding there, and when they saw Zhu Cihong leading people over, they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Minister Cao Youyi knocked to see His Royal Highness the Prince."

"The old slave Cao Huachun knocked to see the Chitose Lord."

Before the Tianjin Bloody War, these two people were a little bit unconvinced of Zhu Cihong. But now I'm completely convinced!

If you don't accept it, you can't do it! The strength of the two of them was almost lost in the bloody battle in the Tianjin Acropolis. And Zhu Cihong directly crushed the rebels of Tianjin Wei, and also deceived more than 200 fierce and vicious old battalion soldiers.

Whether he uses his fists or his brain, Zhu Cihong has already shown the good qualities of a hero in troubled times.

So he is the monarch that the Ming Dynasty needs the most now!

"Are my father, the emperor, and my mother safe?" Zhu Cihong is now acting like a filial son again, and eagerly asks about Chongzhen and Zhou Hou.

"Antai, all Antai," Cao Huachun nodded, his brows furrowed, "It's just that Niangniang was a little frightened......"

"Really?" Zhu Cihong snorted, "Tianjin Wei's rebellion is so hateful, it actually scared my mother!" Mr. Cao, he must be severely punished! ”

"Obey the order!" Cao Youyi hurriedly received the order.

This will be given to him, indicating that his general army is still there for the time being.

Cao Huachun said in his heart: Prince, you have wronged those traitors...... Niangniang is not frightened by thieves, but frightened by your father!

Zhu Cihong, a filial son who didn't know the truth, didn't talk much to Cao Huachun and Cao Youyi, and led Wu Sanmei up the stairs to the second floor where Chongzhen and Zhou Hou were.

After going upstairs, Zhu Cihong saw Emperor Chongzhen sitting on a chair in a daze. Wei Qinghui and Wu Wanrong, two old aunts standing beside her, but Zhou Hou didn't know where they were?

He hurriedly stepped forward and went to bow to Emperor Chongzhen: "The son-in-law saw his father, and the son-in-law was late to save him, which frightened his father and mother." ”

Chongzhen looked at his son, didn't know what to say, just was silent.

This son...... Saying that he is a filial son, I really can't see it! Let's say he's a rebel, he's really not. If he was a rebel, he could have watched himself be beaten to death by the rogue. As soon as he dies, he will not be the emperor.

But he didn't do that, but saved himself and Zhou Hou very quickly.

Moreover, Zhu Cihong's methods of suppressing the rebellion and deceiving the rogues to surrender were far better than Chongzhen's father.

With such means, even if you can't kill Kou in peace, and you can still have a bright future, at least you can keep half of the south of the Yangtze River and continue the family and country passed down by Emperor Taizu Gao.

"Father, where is the queen mother?" Zhu Cihong's voice sounded again, interrupting Chongzhen's thoughts.

"Ah......" Emperor Chongzhen remembered that he hadn't seen Queen Zhou for a while. He hurriedly looked around, but he didn't see Zhou Hou.

What's going on? How did it disappear in the blink of an eye?

"What about the Queen?" Chongzhen asked.

"The emperor, the little master...... The Queen Mother is there. Aunt Wei Qinghui, who was still serving Chongzhen, woke up and raised her hand to the corner.

Zhu Cihong followed her direction and saw a shield standing there.

"How can there be a shield?"

"Master, Niangniang is hiding behind the shield." Wei Qinghui couldn't help but laugh and said, "The slave and Sister Wu have been persuading for a long time, but they won't come out." ”

"I'm going to take a look." Zhu Cihong walked quickly towards the shield. When he got to the front of the shield, he reached out and pulled down the edge of the shield, and sure enough, someone was dragging it behind.

"Queen Mother, are you behind?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"Here it is!" Zhou Hou's voice listened to the breathless.

"Queen Mother, the thief has been subdued by the son, you don't have to hide."

"I can't come out for my mother!" Zhou Hou said, "There was a person who was holding a sword just now to kill his mother, and he hasn't left yet!" ”

"What?" Zhu Cihong was taken aback by Zhou Hou's words, hurriedly drew his sword, and then looked around, but he didn't find any traitors on top of this small building.

Could it be that Zhou Hou was scared crazy? What can I do? The treatment of mental illness is a problem in later generations, and that four-eyed doctor must be no different! It's not easy to have such a young and beautiful mother, why is she crazy?

"Queen Mother, there is no one else here......" Zhu Cihong felt a little numb, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"She's talking about me!" Emperor Chongzhen suddenly spoke.

It's Chongzhen...... Yes! Zhu Cihong understood, it must have been Emperor Chongzhen who thought that the thieves were going to fight just now, so he wanted to kill his wife so that she would not be humiliated.

"Father!" Zhu Cihong also said to Chongzhen in a blaming tone, "How can you do this? The queen mother is your wife, how can you kill her? ”

Emperor Chongzhen defended: "I, didn't I want to protect her honor? It's for her good! ”

"Father!" Zhu Cihong shook his head again and again, "If there is chaos today, it is a troubled era of the Warring States, and you can no longer use the idea of a peaceful and prosperous era." What is a big thing to lose moderation and a small thing to starve to death is out of place...... At present, there are thousands of civil and military officials in Beijing who have lost their temperament, and there may not be ten who have starved to death! It's really not that important! For the king, the survival of the kingdom is very important! For others, surviving in troubled times is a great thing! Those who lose their temperament are very small! ”

"You, you ......" Emperor Chongzhen was speechless for a while, not knowing how to reason with his son.

How can Zhu Cihong blow! Now, of course, he has to ignore his father, and then criticized: "The set of heavenly principles and human desires is used to restrain people's hearts...... If it is used in the peaceful world, it will shackle people's hearts, and there will naturally be fewer people who rebel and make trouble. But now is the troubled times, the heroes of the troubled times, should do everything! Only in this way can we prosper the Ming Dynasty and destroy the Kou!

And Zhongxing Daming, the most important thing is to kill the Kou, as for what means to use, it doesn't matter! Even if it's vile and shameless, what's the matter? The winner is the king, and the loser is the loser! Since ancient times, the history has been written by King Cheng, as long as the Ming Dynasty is kept, no one in the future will know how bad we are! ”

Chongzhen stammered and asked, "You, you...... Have you learned all the teachings of the saints in vain? ”

"The teachings of the saints are used to rule the world, not to fight for hegemony!" Zhu Cihong taught his father and said, "Now it is a world of great contention, the world is divided, and the heroes are rising together." My father and son are only one of the four heroes, and they are not qualified to be saints! ”

Chongzhen said: "I am orthodox!" ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head, "Why is my father so pedantic? How can you compete with thieves, thieves, and thieves? Queen Mother, you come to comment, if our family and country are managed by our father, can there still be a future? ”

Zhou Hou had already come out from behind the shield at this time, stood beside his son, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, think about what Cihong has done these days!" Without him in Zhang Luo, Daming would have died! O ruined country! The inheritance of your ancestors will be destroyed in your hands...... Even if you die, you don't have the face to see your ancestors! ”

"This, this, this ......"

"Father," Zhu Cihong saw that Emperor Chongzhen was at a loss, and his spirit was about to collapse, so he struck while the iron was hot, "It's better to be like this...... In this world, the sons and daughters fight for their fathers, and the despicable and shameless things are all done by the sons, and the father and the emperor only care about self-cultivation and be a saint and gentleman! ”

"Well, so be it!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and unwillingly gave his son Zhu Cihong the authority to control the government again.

This authorization is different from the seizure of power in the last Huangjimen Change, and it was Emperor Chongzhen who really nodded!
