In Nanjing City, the courtiers were shocked when they learned the news of Zuo Liangyu's rebellion with a million troops, and at the same time they were extremely panicked, Zuo Liangyu's army was known as one and a half million, although the ministers felt that it was impossible to have so many, but if they were reduced by half, there were seven or eight hundred thousand, and if they were reduced by half, there were four hundred thousand, so many troops, what did the imperial court take to resist!

"Zuo Liangyu really rebelled!" Zhu Cihong closed the report in a gloomy manner.

Zuo Liangyu's rebellion had long been expected by Zhu Cihong, so Zhu Cihong was not surprised by this, but what made him extremely angry was that Zuo Liangyu actually set up arson and looted in order to rebel, turning Wuchang and the surrounding counties into a dead city, hundreds of thousands of strong men were forcibly confiscated, and hundreds of thousands of old and weak died tragically! All the food and property were robbed, and how the remaining hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children should survive, and I don't know how many of them will be starved to death, Zuo Liangyu is so vicious, it is even worse than the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is really hateful.

"Zuo Liangyu, I will cut you with a thousand knives!" Originally, Zhu Cihong didn't hate Zuo Liangyu so much, but treating the people so viciously really touched his scales, and he had never wanted to cut a person with a thousand knives so much, Zuo Liangyu was the first.

"Your Majesty, the six elders of the pavilion led hundreds of officials to meet the emperor." Zhao Dequan came in to report.

"Announce them to the Jinluan Palace!" Although the imperial study is not small, it is not very convenient to accommodate hundreds of officials, Zhu Cihong finished speaking, got up and walked towards the Jinluan Palace.

Ma Shiying and the others were worried, Zuo Liangyu's rebellion was like a boulder in their hearts, and they immediately summoned hundreds of officials to come to the emperor to discuss how to resist Zuo Liangyu's rebels.

"Ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"Excuse me!"

"You Aiqing must already know about Zuo Liangyu's rebellion, what are your best plans?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Liu Zongzhou was the first to step forward and said: "Your Majesty, Zuo Liangyu is the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, with the emperor's grace, he does not want to serve the court, but gathers troops to rebel, it is for the rebellious ministers and thieves, the world is intolerable, the minister thinks that the court should immediately appoint a general, dispatch the army to meet Zuo Liangyu, and bring Zuo Liangyu to justice!" ”

Liu Zongzhou was the main battle faction at any time, and the most unsightly thing was to rebel, it was because of the advocacy of the war with the thieves and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which led to the defeat of the war, and was excluded by the courtiers, and was demoted to Jiangnan by Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhu Cihong admires Liu Zongzhou very much, no matter how talented Liu Zongzhou is, at least he has backbone, not cowardly, and dares to fight compared to the Manchu Dynasty!

Ma Shiying was preempted by Liu Zongzhou, and glanced at Liu Zongzhou very dissatisfied, after Liu Zongzhou finished speaking, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is inappropriate, Zuo Liangyu is powerful, and the court should focus on appeasement, and it is not appropriate to use swords and soldiers!" ”

"Weichen agrees with Lord Shoufu's proposal and appeases Zuo Liangyu!"

"Weichen also agrees with Lord Shoufu's proposal to appease Zuo Liangyu!"

"Weichen agrees with Liu Ge Lao's proposal to exterminate Zuo Liangyu!"

----------------

Most of the courtiers agreed with Ma Shiying, they all thought that Zuo Liangyu was too powerful, and the court was afraid that it would be difficult to resist, in order to ensure their own safety, they had to do not want to go to war.

Only about half agreed with Liu Zongzhou's proposal to fight the main battle, accusing Zuo Liangyu of being a rebellious minister and thief, and he must be exterminated.

Immediately, the two sides were divided into two factions, one side was the main peace, and the other side was the main battle, and they fought a war of words with each other, and no one was willing to compromise.

"That's it!" Zhu Cihong yelled and said angrily: "As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, what does it look like to be noisy, my Jinluan Palace is not a vegetable market, if you want to make noise, get out, what I want is a solution, not to listen to you making noise here!" ”

was stopped by Zhu Cihong, and the two sides quieted down, because of the execution of Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, and the collapse of the Donglin Party, Zhu Cihong's deterrent power was very strong, and when he saw Zhu Cihong angry, no one dared to touch his head.

"I beg the emperor to judge!" Liu Zongzhou said.

"Please ask the emperor to judge!" Ma Shiying also stepped forward and said.

This is a kind of law, whenever this happens, the emperor will be asked to express his position first, first look at the emperor's intentions, see whether the emperor supports which side, if the emperor agrees with the side with a large number of people, that is to stand with the emperor, and can overpower the other party in one fell swoop, if the emperor agrees with the side with fewer people, there will be arguments, until finally come up with a way that satisfies both parties.

"Hmph, Zuo Liangyu conspired against him, killed hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children, and almost turned Wuchang and the surrounding counties into a dead city, such a crime is even worse than rebellion! It is a heinous crime, and I will cut it with a thousand cuts, and I will not compromise! ”

"If anyone dares to compromise, they will be regarded as Zuo Liangyu's fellow party, and I will punish him!" Zhu Cihong glanced at Ma Shiying and the others, said such a sentence before they spoke, and stared at Ma Shiying expressionlessly.

Ma Shiying's heart tightened, he almost broke out in a cold sweat, the majesty of the emperor seemed to be even worse, and it was obvious that the main battle was not allowed to be opposed, although there were many people who supported Ma Shiying's lord and peace, but Ma Shiying was stared at by Zhu Cihong so expressionlessly at the moment, he didn't dare to persecute the emperor like Gao Hongtu, it was too dangerous.

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Ma Shiying said with difficulty, not daring to have any more words of lordship, and the other lords and people saw that Ma Shiying, the person who took the lead, did not speak, and they did not dare to stand out, and then the whole dynasty was silent, as if a consensus had been reached under the strong pressure of Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong nodded secretly, a united front is a must, only by unifying the front, all the ministers will do things towards one goal, and they can also do things.

Zhu Cihong only appeased at this time: "You Aiqing don't have to worry too much, the left rebellion has supported the army for many years, and its rebellious heart has long been revealed, I have already taken precautions, ten days ago, I have ordered the Luzhou general Huang Dequan to lead his subordinates 150,000 horses to move to Jiujiang, the left rebellion wants to break through Jiujiang is not so easy, and then there are Anqing, Wuhu and other places, I have precautions, blocking the left rebellion is not a problem, the imperial court can calmly recruit an army to exterminate the left rebellion. ”

It is very important to calm people's hearts, as long as they know that Zuo Liangyu will not be able to fight under the city of Nanjing soon, everyone's hearts will settle down, as long as the court is not chaotic, and the city of Nanjing is not chaotic, the imperial court can calmly mobilize all resources to deal with this war.

"The Emperor Shengming!" Sure enough, after knowing that Zuo Liangyu would not hit Nanjing City soon, Ma Shiying and the others' hearts really settled down a lot.

Well? After Ma Shiying breathed a sigh of relief, he was suddenly shocked again, when did the emperor transfer Huang Degong to Jiujiang, shouldn't Huang Degong be in Luzhou, when was this happening, why didn't he know, and also, didn't Huang Degong's department only have an army of 80,000, when did it become 150,000, why he didn't know.

Ma Shiying's heart was a little heavy, as the first assistant, and in charge of the military department, he didn't know anything about Huang Degong's expansion of the army and the transfer of Jiujiang, looking at the emperor's attitude, this seemed to be the result of the emperor's self-dictatorship.

Ma Shiying was about to question, but when he looked up, he saw the emperor staring at him expressionlessly, his eyes were deep, implying murderous intentions, which made Ma Shiying's heart cold for a while, and he hurriedly swallowed the words that he was going to question, and sighed in his heart, the emperor didn't seem to believe in him as the first assistant in many things, and even didn't believe in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

With these materials, Huang Degong will be able to more easily resist Zuo Liangyu's offensive, but compared to Zuo Liangyu's million army, Huang Degong's 150,000 army is less in number, and a tragic Jiujiang battle is about to begin.
