Chapter 60: All of You Are Loyalist!

Zhu Cihong did not ascend the throne and did not serve as a prisoner, but only asked the four scholars in the cabinet to make up the votes on the central decree issued by Emperor Chongzhen a few days ago...... But all the people outside the Huangji Gate are aware of the fact that the palace change has happened!

Now the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty is no longer Emperor Chongzhen, but Zhu Cihong, the prince of Fujun!

In fact, the name of Fujun is not different from the name of the prison country, and it doesn't sound so harsh, so Zhu Cihong didn't bother to change it.

Just when the four scholars were drafting the decrees, Zhu Cihong casually announced a few decrees.

The first order was for Wang Chengen to send the "unconscious" Emperor Chongzhen to Kunning Palace, and Empress Zhou would be responsible for taking care of it.

The second order is to let the Donggong guard battalion take over the defense of Huangji Gate, Noon Gate, Chengtian Gate, and Daming Gate.

The third order was to let Zhu Chunjie lead his troops to control the new Taicang of the household department, and then open the warehouse to release grain, and distribute all the rice and grain stored in the new Taicang to the people in the inner city of Beijing.

The fourth way is to order Qiu Zhizhong, the eunuch who accompanied the reading of the East Palace, to serve as the imperial horse eunuch and the eunuch to take over the Nanhaizi Jingjun - of course, not empty-handed, but still bring 50,000 taels of silver and reward the Nanhaizi Jingjun up and down. At the same time, Wu Sanfu was also sent to lead the cavalry to protect Qiu Zhizhong!

The fifth order is to promote Huang Dabao, the eunuch who is the companion of the East Palace, to serve as the master of ceremonies and to supervise the East Factory!

The sixth order is to promote Luo Xiu's younger brother Luo Xiu to be the head of the Jinyi Wei Beizhen Fusi, and at the same time let Ren Yizhou, who had taken refuge outside the noon gate before, concurrently serve as the Beizhen Fusi as a guard of the East Palace to supervise thousands of households.

The seventh order is to order Luo Xiushen, who is in charge of the Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Division, and his scrivener Bi Jiucheng to immediately release all the criminals in the edict prison - how can there be so many criminals? They are all loyal ministers who have been wronged! Now that the prince is in charge of them, they will all be rehabilitated, and they will follow the prince in the future!

After the Seven Orders were issued, Zhu Cihong had already deprived Emperor Chongzhen of the only bit of strength he had in the Jingshi. Temporarily turned Chongzhen into a light pole emperor!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the decree has been drafted, please take a look at it." At this time, Wei Zaode had already turned the edict issued by Emperor Chongzhen to Zhu Cihong into a holy decree with complete procedures.

"Good!" After Zhu Cihong read the decree, he nodded and said with a smile, "This palace is now the justifiable Fu Army...... Since it is the Fu Army, and the governor of the north and south is directly subordinate to the military affairs, should there be a special government office? ”

The "Zhili" in the "Governor Zhili Military Affairs" sent by Emperor Chongzhen actually only refers to the North Zhili, and does not include the South Zhili.

But now the final interpretation of this holy decree belongs to Zhu Cihong! Therefore, this "Zhili" includes the "North and South Zhili".

In addition, the Ming Dynasty did not have the existence of the Fujun Mansion or the Fujun Yamen, so Zhu Cihong's "Fujun" dispatch was a bit nominal.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong now needs to set up a military organization and command the army through this organization.

Of course, he doesn't have any troops at the moment, but there will be many in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to start forming an efficient and professional command and staff organization, and it is not possible to let a group of civilian officials give blind command.

"I don't know what kind of yamen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants?" Wei Zaode asked.

"Set up a generalissimo mansion?" Zhu Cihong pondered and said, "Emperor Taizu Gao once set up the Generalissimo Mansion of the United Army to control the Chinese and foreign military, which was later changed to the Privy Council, then to the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and finally to the Five Military Governor's Mansion. Now that the palace is out of the army, it should be in charge of the governor's mansion of the five armies, and since the five palaces are merged into the palace, they should naturally be united. It's better to merge the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies into the Generalissimo's Mansion of the Fu Army! ”

"Then the military department ......," Wei Zaode asked in a low voice.

Zhu Cihong smiled: "The military department naturally has to have, but the power to command, transfer, train, and select generals should be concentrated in the Generalissimo Mansion of the Fu Army." ”

That is to say, the Generalissimo of the Fujun Army not only replaced the Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, which had no real power for a long time, but also seized the real power of the military department and completely emptied the military department.

Wei Zaode asked again: "How should the will to establish the Generalissimo Mansion of the Fu Army be issued?" ”

"Drafted by the cabinet vote, the palace will approve the red in the name of Fu Jun!" Zhu Cihong thought for a while, and added, "Before my father wakes up and the palace arrives at Dagukou, all internal and external affairs will be decided by the palace for the time being!" ”

He sighed: "After arriving in the capital, the palace will ask my father and the grandfather buried in the filial piety tomb to ask for guilt...... The crime of losing Beijing and half of the country will be borne by this palace, and it will never blame the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty! And the credit for escorting Nan Xing and protecting half of the Ming Dynasty is all the king's. Therefore, all of you will be the heroes of my Ming Dynasty! ”

Hearing Zhu Cihong's statement, the courtiers present all sighed in their hearts.

It's still the prince on the road! Don't let everyone carry the black pot, and the touting of the hero on the left and the hero on the right is embarrassing.

At this moment, Wei Zaode, a scholar of Shoufu University, stepped forward very wisely, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The minister is willing to bear it with His Royal Highness, and advance and retreat together!" ”

"Good!" Zhu Cihong smiled, "Master Wei is a pillar of loyalty!" ”

"The minister is also willing to bear it with His Highness!"

"I am willing to take on the ...... with His Highness"

"Ministers are willing to ......"

As soon as Wei Zaode took the lead, the courtiers outside the Huangji Gate naturally followed up, and they were all willing to carry the black pot with Zhu Cihong - this black pot is a good black pot, and if everyone carries it together, it means that it is the prince's person. If anyone dares not to carry it, hehe......

In fact, there is nothing terrible about carrying the black pot, what is terrible is killing the head! Even if you are dismissed and investigated, you can recover in two days, who can stand the murder?

Although Zhu Cihong was also ruthless when he cut off people's heads, he was more resolute when he protected his shortcomings. The matter of "robbing Wu Sanmei" has been understood by the courtiers...... This young master is different from his father, and he will not take off the head of the person who came before him to clear his responsibility.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen is also confused, what kind of black pot is he afraid of when he is the emperor? As long as he is in power, who can sanction him? If the power is gone, it makes no difference whether it is black or not. If you're afraid of saying bad things in the history books, just write it yourself...... As long as you can win the battle against the rogue and the ugly, the history books are not written casually?

"Good, good!" Zhu Cihong praised again and again, "Father said that you courtiers should be killed, and it seems that you are all loyal ministers in this palace!" All of them are the pillars of my Ming Dynasty! ”

It doesn't cost anything to praise people's good words, so Zhu Cihong has nothing to be reluctant to.

And his requirements for his courtiers are indeed not high, a group of feudal scholars who read the Four Books and the Five Classics, what else can you ask them to do? It's just a rubber stamp.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong will not remove any of the four scholars in the cabinet, and they all have to be packed and taken away. There is also an inspector Li Jiantai who can be found back, and he must continue to be a rubber university scholar. By the way, there is also a former first assistant, Chen Yan, who has been dismissed and investigated, also has to be brought along. If Li Jiantai is gone, let him go back to the pot and become a rubber university scholar again.

Only with these rubber stamps can the exiled court controlled by Zhu Cihong be like that!

In addition, these courtiers who followed Zhu Cihong out of Beijing were all participants in today's palace rebellion, and they were all labeled as the prince's party!

However, it is the same prince's party, and there are still relatives who are distant and close. Here in the Huangji Gate, there are three guys who are not very reliable.

Zhu Cihong, who was already in power, took a deep breath and glanced at the courtiers outside the emperor's gate: "Let's stop here this morning." Except for Luo Yangxing and Guang Shiheng, the others went back to clean up first, got as many carriages and horses as possible, hired more force, and took their families and luggage to the Taimiao and Sheji Altar tonight. ”

After saying this, the morning dynasty on March 19, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, was over, and most of the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty trotted away, went to pack their things, and prepared to run away. Of course, there are also many people who will lurk and wait for Li Zicheng's arrival......

And the two loyal ministers named by Zhu Cihong, Luo Yang and Guang Shiheng, stood in front of the emperor's gate with ugly faces.
