Chapter 58 The father and the emperor don't run, and the sons are filial

When Emperor Chongzhen announced his personal conquest, he forgot an important matter...... He didn't mobilize the net army to go to the noon gate to set up defenses!

The Huangji Gate, where he is now, is facing the noon gate, and now it is the time of the upper court, and the noon gate is open. When the people were killed outside the noon gate just now, the officials with good hearing on the side of the Huangji Gate could hear the exclamations of the officials outside the noon gate.

In other words, Zhu Cihong and his 1,000 heavily armed generals were only one door away from Emperor Chongzhen.

And among the Han generals who guarded Emperor Chongzhen outside the Huangji Gate, there were Zhu Cihong's eyes and ears - Zhu Cihong's original East Palace guard foreman Zhu Chunjie was in charge of the Han General Camp! So after Zhu Cihong had money, he asked Zhu Chunming to go to the Han general's camp to scatter the silver.

So now, a Han general quietly slipped out of the noon gate and reported the news that Emperor Chongzhen was going to drive the imperial expedition to Zhu Cihong, who was about to leave.

"Your Highness, can't you let the emperor personally conquer!"

It was Wu Xiang who said this to Zhu Cihong, and Wu Xiang came from the Zhengyangmen Tower. When Zhu Cihong entered the Zhengyang Gate, he was directing the deployment of red-clothed cannons at the head of the city. So I didn't go down to meet the prince, because I heard that Zhu Cihong was going to kill outside the noon gate, so I hurried to stop it.

It's a bit disrespectful to kill people like this at the emperor's doorstep!

But he arrived too late, and saw only dead bodies and baskets of severed heads, as well as officials trembling with fear.

Just when Wu Xiang didn't know what to say, a Han general with a golden helmet and golden armor rushed out of the noon gate and reported the news that Guang Shiheng instigated Chongzhen's imperial expedition and Chongzhen's decision to drive his personal expedition to Zhu Cihong.

Wu Xiang, Wang Qi, and Wang Zhou, of course, also knew. The three of them looked at each other, and they all knew that something bad was going to happen!

The emperor personally marched, how could the prince still raise the army?

has already killed everyone's heads, can the prince still hand over the military power? Can you still live if you hand it over?

Besides, the Jingshi can't hold it! The people outside the Zhengyang Gate are all in the middle of the road to welcome Li Zicheng's rogue! This shows that the people of Beijing and a considerable number of officials have regarded Li Zicheng as the true son of heaven and are ready to abandon the Ming Dynasty......

The authority of the Ming court is rapidly eroding...... Authority exists in the hearts of the people, and now that the hearts of the people have changed, authority is about to disappear!

Once the authority is lost, the 20,000 rabble in the inner city of the capital will fall apart, and Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army will also find another master.

Chongzhen's father and son, there is only one way to die!

"Old Tarzan!" Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth, "You take the right game of the fire gun to occupy the noon gate!"

Wang Qi, bring the guards of the East Palace to enter the noon gate with the palace! ”

Is this going to change?

Zhu Cihong gave the order in public, and not only Wu Xiang, Wang Yong, Wang Qi, the people of the Right Bureau of Huogong and the guard camp of the East Palace heard it, but also many officials, scribes, and internal officials who were watching in the surrounding area.

Everyone's heart trembled...... The prince is going to lead his troops to the Huangji Gate! Is this to force the palace? Or do you want to kill the king?

Li Zicheng attacked outside, and the crown prince changed inside! Can this Ming Dynasty still want it?

Zhu Cihong's face sank like water, and he shouted in the loudest voice: "Gentlemen! It's urgent! The Jingshi is about to be gone, and my father and emperor don't want to be fortunate in the south, and the ancestors will not be protected! The palace implores all the kings to enter the noon gate together to admonish...... This is the work of loyal ministers and filial sons! ”

It's really not a palace change, it's a military admonition!

Immediately, someone echoed loudly: "What the prince said is extremely good, loyal and filial son, I can't see the death of the monarch's father and the destruction of the country!" ”

Zhu Cihong immediately cast his eyes and found that it was a green-robed civil official, very young, white-faced and short-haired, and spoke in a Wu voice.

Seeing Zhu Cihong looking at him, this person immediately strode forward, and then bowed: "Chen Hanlin Academy edited Su Ziwen, and I am willing to enter the noon gate with His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Good!" Zhu Cihong praised loudly, "If you are a loyal minister!" From now on, you will be the speaker of the main palace! ”

He praised this letter, and the officials outside the noon gate woke up like a dream, this is an opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune!

Immediately, a second loyal minister appeared, a brocade guard in a flying fish suit, in his twenties, with a polite appearance and looking like a scholar. It is estimated that I ran from the nearby Jinyi Guard Yamen to see the excitement.

"Ren Yizhou, one hundred households in Chenbei Town, is willing to enter the noon gate with His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Good!" Zhu Cihong nodded, "You are also a loyal minister!" You're now a guard at the main palace! ”

It turns out that this is how the loyal minister became a loyal minister!

"Your Highness, I am willing to follow!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is willing to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty......"

"The minister is also willing to follow!"

Da Ming is really still a loyal minister! After a while, the officials and scribes who watched the excitement outside the noon gate were all loyal ministers.

Zhu Cihong took a deep breath, and the air he inhaled smelled of blood! Different from the reaction when he killed Du Xun last time, now Zhu Cihong not only did not revolt when he smelled the smell of blood, but also had an irrepressible feeling of excitement......

"Gentlemen, enter the noon gate with the main palace!"

As he spoke, Zhu Cihong took a big stride and swaggered towards the noon gate. The guards of the East Palace, the firecrackers of the camp of the Victorious Battalion, and the officials who looked at the excitement outside the noon gate and looked like loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty all followed behind Zhu Cihong, and more than 1,000 people poured into the noon gate.

The main gate of the noon gate is usually not opened, and the left and right sides of the noon gate are opened one door each, called the left and right doors, which are the doors for hundreds of officials to enter the court.

The banner guards guarding the left and right doors are also all shelf, and there are few on duty, seeing so many heavily armed generals and some people carrying firearms, they are so frightened that their souls are lost, where do they dare to resist? However, the eunuch who supervised the noon gate was still responsible, and he ran to the Huangji Gate as if he was flying, shouting while running: "The emperor, the emperor, it's the opposite, the little master is ...... the opposite."

Emperor Chongzhen has already seen it, a large group of people on the left and right sides of the door have come in, and those who walk in front are all wearing iron armor, shining in the morning sun, can't you see that you are blind?

Chongzhen, who saw his son rushing in with a murderous spirit, was stunned for a while. Things went so suddenly! It has already exceeded Emperor Chongzhen's imagination...... He has been the Son of Heaven for seventeen years! How old is the prince? I'm only sixteen years old! A few days ago, I didn't know anyone who was raised in the deep palace, but in the blink of an eye, I brought troops to force the palace!

How is this possible?

"Your Majesty, the matter is urgent, quickly follow the old slave into the Emperor's Gate to take refuge for the time being......"

It was still the eunuch Wang Chengen who reacted quickly, shouted loudly, and went up to support Chongzhen, as if he wanted to escape with Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was really dizzy, and he didn't want to think about how much authority he still had left in this dangerous city? And he ran away with Wang Chengen in front of so many people, and the little authority he had left was suddenly zero...... At least in Beijing, no one will think that he is the son of heaven.

Zhu Cihong also saw that Emperor Chongzhen was pulled away by Wang Chengen, and now his hanging heart was temporarily put down.

If Emperor Chongzhen did not run, but ordered the general of the Han Dynasty to escort him and confront Zhu Cihong at the Huangji Gate. Zhu Cihong is really difficult to do! Now that the authority of the Ming court has been swept away, this is not only the matter of Emperor Chongzhen, but also the matter of Zhu Cihong. If Emperor Chongzhen refuses to retreat, Zhu Cihong will not dare to be rude, and he will "beg" to go out of the city to raise the army - this is a strategy!

Because the crown prince who left his father and mother and ran away with the court himself, no matter how you look at it, he is an unfilial, disloyal and unrighteous person. It is difficult for this person to establish authority when he leaves Beijing.

And Emperor Chongzhen was so troubled by Zhu Cihong, in case he also wanted to open it, and ran away before Li Zicheng came in, it is difficult to say whether Zhu Cihong, the crown prince, is still appropriate!

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen was frightened by his murderous son and ran away from the throne of the Huangji Gate.

And he ran this ...... Beijing's inner city is Zhu Cihong's final say!

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong opened his throat and shouted: "Don't run away from your father, your son is filial...... Erchen is a filial son! ”

Hearing him shout like this, the civil and military officials present almost didn't lose their breath...... You, the crown prince, are wearing armor and weapons, and you are also carrying more than a thousand warriors, rushing in from the noon gate, and now you are still running after the emperor, can you still be a filial son?
