Chongzhen is very concerned about Zhu Cihong, and has taught carefully since he was a child, although he is only ten years old, there is no problem with literacy and hyphenation.

Zhu Cihong took it and took a look, looked up at Li Zhong and said, "Father-in-law, is this going to the northwest to suppress bandits?" What about the capital? ”

Zhu Cihong was still in shock, still afraid, he didn't want Zhou Zheng to leave Beijing.

Li Zhong felt a little sorry for Zhu Cihong, and said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry, you have also seen it, it is Lu Xiangsheng who has been reinstated as the prime minister of the five northwestern provinces, and he will not leave Beijing when he conquers Xibo." ”

Only then did Zhu Cihong breathe a sigh of relief, his tense little face eased, and said, "That's good." ”

After speaking, he looked at the notebook again, and for a moment, he felt that there was no problem, so he reached out and took the jade seal.

Li Zhong watched from the side and didn't say anything.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this recital, first, Lu Xiangsheng was reinstated, and he was the prime minister of the five northwestern provinces during the Chongzhen period; Second, it is natural to recover the capital this time, repel the thieves, and reward the meritorious generals, not to mention that they need to continue to suppress the bandits.

bang

Zhu Cihong covered it hard, and then said with some hesitation: "Father-in-law, I haven't ascended the throne yet, isn't it good to use the jade seal now?" ”

Li Zhong was stunned, thought for a while, and said: "There is someone who can chew the root of the tongue, then, the slave maid will give Zheng Xibo first, and order him to hide it first, and after His Highness ascends the throne, find a suitable time, and then announce it." ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "That's it." ”

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he looked out of the house again, pursed his lips, and cried, and said, "Father-in-law, I miss my father and mother." ”

Li Zhong's expression was suffocated, he looked out the window, in the direction of Qianqing Palace, and said softly: "The slave also wants to live the master." ”

……

Where could Zhou Yanru have thought that Zhou Zheng still had such a backhand, after rejecting Zhou Zheng, he was thinking about how to cut Zhou Zheng's power, and said other things with a smile on his face.

Zhou Zheng didn't bother to talk to him, so he said goodbye and left.

Not long after Zhou Zheng left, Zhang Sizhi appeared in the living room, looked at the dark outside, and said worriedly: "Yuanfu, Zheng Xibo's appetite is not small." ”

Zhou Yanru suddenly snorted coldly and said, "He made a big taboo!" Yu Qian's contribution back then was no less than his, what was the end? He is so unscrupulous, it must be a broken end! ”

After the Tumubao Incident, Yingzong was captured by Wara, Yu Qian strongly advocated staying in Beijing to resist, rejected the suggestions of those who moved south, and then supported Daizong to succeed him, completely resisted Wara, and drove them out, and finally welcomed Yingzong back.

It can be said that the situation of the Ming Dynasty at that time was not much better than what Zhou Zheng encountered before, and Yu Qian's meritorious achievements were extraordinary!

But with the death of Daizong and the restoration of Yingzong, Yu Qian was counterattacked, not only was he beheaded, but he was almost beheaded!

The ending can be described as miserable!

Zhang Sizhi glanced at Zhou Yanru and said in a low voice: "My lord, you have to figure it out slowly, Zhou Zhengyun is now in the middle of the day, looking at each other in the sea, you must not act rashly." ”

Zhou Yanru naturally knew that if he didn't cut off Zhou Zheng's wings, how could he start?

He pondered silently for a while, and said: "Li Banghua has to return to Beijing as soon as possible, Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liangzuo's troops will be brought back to Beijing and defend Jinggi." ”

Zhang Si knew that he should respond, and he also knew Zhou Yanru's purpose.

The military power of the capital is in the hands of Zhou Zheng, and when Li Banghua comes back, he wants to divide Zhou Zheng's military power and control the unpredictable dangers that may exist!

Zhou Zheng walked out of Zhou Yanru's mansion and turned back to Zhou's mansion.

The capital was still under martial law, and there were patrolling soldiers everywhere, and when they saw Zhou Zheng, they hurriedly stopped and saluted.

Zhou Zheng smiled and nodded all the way back to the mansion.

The Zhou Mansion is now brightly lit, and it seems that they are all waiting for Zhou Zheng to come back.

The Zhou family is now only a group of subordinates, and due to Zhou Zheng's protection, the loss is not large, and the subordinates are still busy tidying up the destroyed courtyard.

When Fu Bo saw Zhou Zheng coming back, he was overjoyed and said, "Second Young Master, have you eaten?" I'm going to let them do it......"

Zhou Zheng just came back because he was not at ease, and said with a smile: "I just drank wine at Yuanfu's, is it okay in the house?" ”

Fu Bo looked at Zhou Zheng, overjoyed, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Second Young Master, is the court stable? Did the thief run away? When will the lord come back? Second Young Master, what reward do you have......"

Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Fu Bo, it's only the first day, where is it decided, I'll just come back and take a look, and I'll talk about it after a while." ”

Fu Bo nodded again and again, and said, "Second Young Master, your room has been cleaned up, will they come back, Little Young Master?" ”

Zhou Zheng couldn't think so much for a while, and said: "Rest in the mansion tonight, you let everyone rest assured, the thief can't come back." ”

Fu Bo actually had a lot to say and wanted to ask, and seeing that Zhou Zheng's face was tired, he stopped talking and went to arrange for someone to prepare.

This night is destined to be extraordinary, from Huang Taiji, who was a prisoner in Liaodong, to Li Banghua, who is still in the south of the Yangtze River, and then to Li Zicheng, who is constantly fleeing to Shaanxi, everyone is not calm, there are too many ideas, too many things.

Too busy.

The capital looks very peaceful, but it is very unpeaceful, cows, ghosts, snakes and gods are infested, for various purposes, the whole capital flies and dogs, no one can be peaceful.

In the cells of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple, there are now hundreds of people, from the princes of the clan, the nobles, the ministers of civil and military affairs, the internal supervisors, etc., including almost all strata of the Ming court, naturally, as well as Li Zicheng's people.

These people huddled together, feeling the cold of winter, their bodies cold, and their eyes full of fear.

What awaits them is a dead end, and there is no other way!

Of course, it's not that no one struggled, such as Ruan Dacheng, who surrendered to Li Zicheng and became a waiter in the Ministry of Rites.

Now I want to rely on Zhou Zheng or Zhou Yanru to survive.

In addition to him, there are not a few people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are desperately trying to find a way, bribing the guards, and wanting to communicate with the outside.

Zhou Zheng's power in the capital is actually very limited, it is nothing more than to recover the capital, defeating the thieves has brought huge prestige, many people's first choice, in fact, is the first assistant Zhou Yanru, plus Zhou Yanru and others have been deliberately wooing the courtiers and arranging the court situation, the capital is secretly turbulent, and the dark tide is turbulent.

At noon the next day, the capital slowly returned to calm, and Li Zicheng's people were almost cleared, and the Shuntian Mansion began to post Anming notices, and the yamen opened one after another.

Under the support of Zhou Yanru and Zhou Zheng, the crown prince Zhu Cihong sat on the Jinluan Palace, accepted the worship of the ministers, officially set the name of the unification, and set the time for enthronement and burial for the first emperor.

In this way, the capital was stabilized and the chaotic situation was stabilized.

The news of the crown prince Zhu Cihong's 'accession to the throne' was spread throughout the Ming Dynasty in various forms, appeasing the provinces and telling everyone: The Ming Society is here, and the country is not lost.

Zhu Cihong was only ten years old, and almost everything was temporarily arranged by Zhou Yanru, just like a puppet, who was supported by envoys.

It wasn't until the evening that everything was over and the overall situation was stabilized.
