Chapter Seventy-Two: Six Rates

What Chongzhen wanted to say, Zhu Cihong really couldn't think of it for a while.

Although there is a father-son relationship, and he also recognizes the importance of Chongzhen to state affairs, the family relationship between father and son really needs further communication.

At that time, it was an era that paid attention to holding grandchildren but not children, not to mention the father and son who were involved in the dual relationship of national politics and father and son, such as the emperor and the crown prince.

There is only one point, in Long Live Mountain, Zhu Cihong clearly saw the joy in Chongzhen's eyes, it was a desperate look, Zhu Cihong's actions were for Chongzhen, and the person who was about to hide his death grabbed the last straw to save his life...... The affection in this is even more than the love between father and son!

On the way to escape, Zhu Cihong has repeatedly performed well, and Chongzhen also has great trust and confidence in him, but how to distribute the power between the father and son in the future, how to cooperate, and even how to distribute power...... For the time being, Zhu Cihong himself is inconvenient to say, and whether Chongzhen has any intention is also very curious.

From the side of the boat to help, with the help of the soft ladder, Zhu Cihong easily got on the boat, Li Banghua and others were on Chongzhen's side, and they were waiting outside early.

Since leaving Beijing, connected fierce battles, and even many times have the worry of the surname, it is better for everyone to work together to kill out, and now it is in the vast sea, living on the sea boat, although it is the sea wind and waves pushing back and forth, the small sea boat is shaking back and forth, so that many people vomit, very painful, but remember that the future is bleak when leaving Beijing, life and death are uncertain, and it is not only personal life and death, but also related to the rise and fall of the dynasty, think about it, how can you not teach people to be afraid and panic, like walking on the edge of the cliff, Life and death are only a thin line!

Therefore, in contrast, although it is not comfortable or even very sad to be on this sea ship, but in it, the mood is tranquil and comfortable, and it is very pleasant.

It's just that in this pleasure, there are also layers of hidden worries!

What is the reaction of the ministers of Nanjing, or what is the arrangement? Will Li Zicheng immediately chase and fight fiercely, and go directly from north to south? The so-called Yangtze River natural risk, there is not much important geographical convenience, at least, if Li Zicheng transferred the tens of thousands of main forces of Liu Fangliang's department to Xiang and Deng, and joined forces with Bai Wang, then Zuo Liangyu would immediately be unable to bear the strength, Xiangfan was lost, and the upstream was in the enemy's hands, and Li Zicheng led the main force to Yangzhou to cross the river...... Thinking of this, people of insight are afraid...... Li Zicheng went straight from Xi'an to Beijing, everything was too smooth and too smooth, and then he came back and forth, but where did everyone go?

This is still a distant worry, the stormy little court in front of him has arrived in Nanjing, how to rule the new officials, improve the finances, enhance the morale of the people, and bring back the lost hearts and minds...... All this, of course, is the most urgent and urgent, and of course, the army is even more urgent!

The army of the Ming Dynasty, from Xi'an to Taiyuan, and then to Juyong Pass, the details are really clear!

The army has no will to fight, and will have no will to fight, from top to bottom, it is to mix up with the idea of surrendering, how can it go on like this!

It is also very paradoxical and strange to say, such as the four towns of Jiangbei, or Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, or the Ming army in Datongdi, when fighting against the Chuang army and the Qing army, there is no combat effectiveness at all.

It's strange, once it is lowered or cleared, especially after it is cleared, it immediately transforms, becomes fierce and brutal, and is very capable of fighting, from top to bottom, the spirit and spirit are changed clean!

Everything is in mind, but the people accompanying Chongzhen are all important ministers of the country, after seeing the crown prince, they are all happy and calm, and they can't see anything at all, Zhu Cihong is also smiling, and personally helped Li Banghua and Wang Jiayan up, and said with a smile: "At this time, it is in this kind of place again, let's let everyone meet in the future, don't bow down." ”

"Your Highness......"

"Alas, I know that etiquette cannot be abolished, but there is a scripture and the right to ......" Zhu Cihong said with a letter, while looking at everyone's expressions, but he didn't see anything, it seems that this time Chongzhen called him over from other ships, although the flow of people between the fleets is not very difficult, but after all, this is at sea, there is still a certain risk, there is nothing important, this father is playing with him?

Of course not!

Although he wondered in his heart, but he had also experienced great things, and nothing could make him feel that he couldn't stand it, so he wanted to think about it, but his footsteps did not stop, until he reached the middle cabin door, knowing that it was Chongzhen's residence on the ship, and Wang Chengen was also standing outside the cabin with his sword, and when he saw him coming, he didn't salute in front of the emperor, but just smiled and greeted.

"The son knocks to see his father!"

Zhu Cihong is only a few courtesy, but he is polite at this time, kneeling outside the door, and he doesn't dare to be sloppy at all. Seeing him like this, the important ministers present also showed appreciation and approval, this crown prince, who has made great contributions without the slightest arrogance, is really the emperor's son.

"Wu'er is here?" There was also a sound of surprise in the cabin, and then the door opened, but it was Chongzhen who opened the hatch with his own hands, and the father and son immediately looked at each other.

A few days of hard work, from the death of the country to the hope, from suicide to exile at sea, from the destruction of the family to the safe meeting of the whole family, although Queen Zhou and others have not met for the time being, but they also know each other safely...... At such a point, after such a tragic change, there is still such a time when father and son meet...... At this time, who doesn't have a full belly to say!

"Come in, come in!"

Chongzhen seemed to be seasick and dizzy, his face was pale, and his eye sockets were sunken...... In the past few days, it is really enough for this Ninety-Five Supreme!

Of course, his cabin is the largest and most comfortable, Wang Chengen doesn't know where to get some antique toys to put on them, they look quite good, but compared to it, the third-class eunuchs in the palace live much more comfortably than here. In addition, the waves are very strong, and the taste of seasickness is very uncomfortable...... Chongzhen is afraid that he has never suffered so much since he was beaten out of his mother's womb.

But at this time, his expression was very happy, and he opened the door with his own hands, I am afraid that Chongzhen had never thought of it before. In his capacity, first the prince, then the prince, brocade clothes and jade food, from washing his teeth and washing his face to dressing, walking, and behaving, except for some things that must be done by himself to be comfortable, otherwise, he does not need to move a finger by himself.

In these years, the material is very limited, that is, the wealth and enjoyment piled up by manpower.

But at this time, Chongzhen not only came over to open the door by himself, but also kicked out the little eunuch who was waiting in the room, and then asked Zhu Cihong to sit in front of him with a smile, and then said: "You have made such a great contribution this time, it is not you, and now the world is overturned...... I...... Let's be honest, how to reward you, or how to use you, I don't know how to arrange, and I don't know how to tell you what to do? ”

"This ......" Zhu Cihong said: "The father and the emperor said this to the son, but the son-in-law doesn't know how to answer?" ”

Chongzhen is actually still a little jealous, this time Zhu Cihong's performance is too brilliant and eye-catching, but the father-son relationship who turned around to save each other cannot be erased, if Zhu Cihong does not turn back, Chongzhen has been martyred and died at this time, and he, the crown prince, can announce the prison when he arrives in Nanjing, and confirm the death letter after a period of time, and he can announce his accession...... In that case, why bother asking for trouble?

So simply ignore this talk and fight back directly, which shows that Zhu Cihong really has no other heart, otherwise, he has to make a sincere and fearful appearance, desperately confess, and show no different intentions...... In this way, it is inferior.

Sure enough, Chongzhen first made a sign, and then said with a smile: "I have a son like this, what can I say?" ”

Zhu Cihong said peacefully: "Everything that the son has is given by his father. Everything that the sons and daughters do, all the achievements, of course, also depend on the permission and support of their fathers, otherwise, the sons are helpless and unable to do anything at all. ”

With such a sentence, it is enough!

Chongzhen smiled, and this time he said to Zhu Cihong: "After I went to sea, one was seasickness, and the other was to think about it repeatedly, why, did I end up in this field today?" If the civil and military mislead the country, of course there is, but I think about it myself...... It's really not long in the military! ”

can hear the self-righteousness, self-confidence and arrogance, thinking that he is wise and powerful, omniscient, even if he is ruined, it is the civil and military who mistook him, not the emperor who is at a loss by himself, said such a paragraph, it is enough to show that this experience of defending the city to leaving the city, and then breaking the enemy all the way, is really what Chongzhen will understand, and he is really not qualified to deal with military measures.

In this case, Chongzhen muttered and said: "At the beginning of the country, the prince was heavy, and Emperor Gao attached great importance to the power of the prince, and when Emperor Wen was emperor, he built a young army for the emperor's grandson, and called the grandson to lead the army, so as to prepare for the future, when it came to Ren and Xuan, the prince was either in charge of the country, or led the young army, all of which formed their own pattern system, and after Emperor Sejong, the system changed again......" Speaking of this, Chongzhen's tone became very decisive, he said: "Of course, today is different from Shizong and Shenzong, and I treat you with Emperor Gao and Emperor Wen!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong stood up on his own, but still looked at Chongzhen very calmly, waiting for him to make his final decision.

"I will allow you to build your own army first, but you don't need to call it a young army, that is, according to the Tang Dynasty system, call the prince six rates, how about it?"

In the Han and Tang dynasties, the prince had his own private army, and after the Song and Yuan dynasties, the old system was canceled, of course, this is also to maintain a balance, such as the Tang Dynasty prince or the palace rebellion, or the military enthronement, in the Ming Dynasty is gone. Now Chongzhen allows the prince to openly establish an arm, which is indeed a great trust in the system, if it is not for the stimulation and change of the country's destruction and escape from death, this matter is absolutely impossible!

"As for asking you to control the armies and open the mansion as the generalissimo...... Chongzhen still followed his own train of thought, and then said: "Now your prestige in the towns has not yet been established, although I and the southbound ministers will preach for you, but the southern ministers will only be convinced if they see it with their own eyes, so it's better not to rush for the time being......" Speaking of this, he looked at Zhu Cihong and said softly: "What do you think?" ”

I am afraid that Chongzhen has not spoken to people in this tone in his life, and asked for opinions, Zhu Cihong was very moved in his heart, and also felt that Chongzhen's arrangement was very appropriate, and it was indeed the emperor's wrist that had governed the country for more than ten years. ”
