It's very dedicated, and I strongly ask for votes.

－－－

The twilight is low, and in the Forbidden City, the palace lanterns begin to be lit, and in the long and far-reaching Yongxiang, there are eunuchs passing by with lanterns everywhere, a lively and busy scene.

Suddenly, a "bang" sound sounded, and beautiful ceremonial flowers rose on the top of the Qianqing Palace, and Zhu Cihong, who had been waiting at the foot of the palace for a long time, was also in good spirits...... As soon as this ceremonial flower was released, Chongzhen returned to the Qianqing Palace.

This morning court has been discussing things for a long time, and the afternoon dynasty Suo surname is even in the evening dynasty, and it has been discussed until it is dark, and then the emperor returns to the palace, and the ministers disperse.

This was also a rare sight at the time.

"Master," a eunuch on the steps of the hall hurriedly ran down, and after saluting Zhu Cihong, he said: "After the emperor came back, his surname was very bad, and he was wandering around with his hands behind his back in the Ming Palace, his face was flushed with anger, and the slave and maid reported that the master had been waiting for a long time, and the emperor waved his hand directly, saying that he was not seen, and asked the master to go back to the palace to reflect on his life, he was free these days, and then talk to the master." ”

Speaking of this, the eunuch raised his head and said very uneasily: "Look at the emperor like this, it is really not light, it is better for the young master to go back early, so as not to anger the emperor again." ”

It was Wu Xiang, the eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace, who was loyal and old, and was one of the few powerful people around Chongzhen, because he was honest, he had always stayed by his side, and he was not released out of the prison like Gao Qiqian, Du Xun and others.

Wu Xiang is indeed kind, but at this time, the overall situation has been decided, and no matter how much he fights, it will be useless.

And Zhu Cihong came by himself, just to ask for peace of mind! He already had a conclusion in his heart, so no matter how angry Chongzhen was, he had to ask to see him.

smiled at Wu Xiang at the moment and said, "If it's not in the way, if you play my father for me, just say that I won't leave, I have to see it." ”

While saying this, he also went up with Wu Xiang, and when he arrived outside the Ming Palace, he stopped, Wu Xiang entered, and after a while, he heard Chongzhen say angrily inside: "I haven't looked for him yet, he actually dares to come again?" Is there really no way for me to take him? Someone ...... coming."

"The emperor is angry......"

It seems that a palace maid knelt down first, and then in the Qianqing Palace, there was also a group of people who knelt in the black press, at this time, Queen Zhou had already heard the news and rushed over, glanced at Zhu Cihong with red eyes, and then went in first.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Under the lamp and candle, Chongzhen can be seen stomping his feet on the spot, and Zhou Hou has already knelt on the ground, removing the queen's crown ornament on his head, exempting himself from the crown.

Shicai was the first to kneel down to help Zhu Cihong intercede was Wei Qinghui, the housekeeper of the Qianqing Palace, although she was a woman, but she was very capable and shrewd, and she came out at this time and persuaded Zhu Cihong in front of her: "Alas, why bother ...... it?"

made such a big move, Zhu Cihong himself was pale, but there was still a stubbornness between his eyebrows, he looked at Wei Qinghui, shook his head and said: "Today is not a family matter, but a state matter, so no matter what, you must see it." ”

Wei Qinghui already knows the temper of this prince, she usually looks smiling, and she is not very annoying, and the shelf is getting smaller and smaller, and she also knows a lot about them, especially His Royal Highness also found out her family background and promised to let her out as soon as possible in the future.

Ordinary women in the palace, unless they are pampered, or they want to climb up, they all want to be released from the palace as soon as possible, Zhu Cihong has this promise, and Wei Qinghui naturally takes care of everything.

In fact, with Zhu Cihong's current status and image, even if there is no such effort in advance, Wei Qinghui and others will really help each other.

"Since that's the case," the leader of the palace maid is also a very decisive person, biting his lip and nodding at the moment, he said to Zhu Cihong: "Xiao Shou Da go, please be careful yourself!" ”

She is a person who knows Chongzhen's mind well, and with this kind of statement, Zhu Cihong's heart also sank suddenly.

Today, he is really ruined!

If the proposal to move south doesn't work, he will wait for death in the capital, unless he finds his own way, Tsing Yi and a small hat will be disguised, and take Wang Yuan Li Gong and other personal companions as escorts, anyway, he has horses and money outside the city, and he will go straight to the south, and he will arrive in about 20 days.

But without the emperor's will, in what name did he, the crown prince, go to the south? Today, when civil officials have always been opposed to imperial power, and military generals are not controlled, a fifteen-year-old empty prince has no team of his own, only a few East Palace speakers are still cronies, and there are some military attachés of the Beijing Palace below the sixth rank to support, such a team, go to Nanjing to find death?

Chongzhen issued an edict, and he had to come back obediently! Moreover, the top ten ** can't keep the prince's storage position!

In that case, you can only fight hard!

……

……

At the court meeting this afternoon, it was Chongzhen who threw out yesterday's suggestion of Zuo Zhongyun and Li Mingrui, and then Wang Jiayan, Li Banghua and several other important ministers expressed their support.

But their statement is not important, in the hearts of Chongzhen and the ministers, the attitude of the cabinet is the most critical.

And Chen Yan and Wei Zaode and other ministers were silent, and when Chongzhen asked, they could only kowtow.

The attitude of the cabinet is that it does not support and refuses to be responsible for the endorsement of this pro-conquest to the south. Such an attitude has already made Chongzhen hesitate, and the fierce performance of Guang Shiheng in the military department has made the court discussion tend to the original historical trajectory.

"I am the Ming Dynasty to guard the country with the Son of Heaven, sit in Beijing, and raise all directions! If you hear the thief's warning and let the city go, what will happen to the soldiers and land guards in front? If Jingtai also heard that the strong enemy was going to go first, where would there be the current big tomorrow! ”

The words were impassioned, the ministers in the palace were speechless for a while, Li Banghua and Li Mingrui and others looked like death, Wang Jiayan stomped his feet angrily, but Gong Dingyu and Chen Mingxia and other young civil officials glanced at each other, and they all saw the ridicule in each other's eyes...... Does anyone else have confidence in this court and ministers?

What a joke!

The direction of the wind in the palace changed, and Zhu Cihong, who was waiting outside, already knew the news. Around Chongzhen, there are now quite a few people who are willing to give him a tip-off, and under the bribery of gold and silver, he can get any news.

Originally, according to his thoughts, it was normal for the cabinet not to express its position, after all, the cause of trouble was big, and with the responsibility of a few old fritters in the current cabinet, they would never come out to support it, besides, now Zhu Cihong also faintly felt that the historical records may not all be detailed and credible, as far as his observation and intelligence are concerned, Chen Yan and Wei Zaode and others are not mediocre, on the contrary, they are very shrewd.

How many of those who can blend into the Ming cabinet are real philistines?

Since you are shrewd and have such an attitude at the moment, the exact purpose is interesting. This time it was launched in advance, and he also intended to change the historical facts, since the launch date was ahead of schedule, and his attitude was also very resolute, but it depended on the effect?

As a result, the cabinet did not speak, but above the court, there was still an impassioned Guang Shiheng!

The smell of this fucking chess piece and conspiracy is too obvious!

Why him?

Why is it always him?

If you don't stumble on your own people and make trouble, you will really die......

Just Heng was triumphant and upright, and in the golden platform of the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Cihong had already made a decision.

Knowing history well, making small conspiracy skills, and even changing the trajectory of some history, they are all tricks and making fun of themselves as crown princes.

Move your little work and hide behind the scenes to make a little fuss.

even ambushed and bought his own lecturers, creating a good reputation for the prince who was clever and studious, coupled with the cooperation with the military attaché in the interior, the image of the prince Yunwen Yunwu was also established a little.

But, are these enough?

Obviously not enough!

Politicians must be responsible, and at critical moments, when others are cowardly, they must be able to stand up to the hard. Zeng Guofan's so-called "Ting" word is nothing more than that!

Guang Shiheng's discussion also came to the last moment: "Yes...... Please punish Li Mingrui in Zuo Zhongyun to thank the world! ”

In the end, there was a lot of saliva, but Shi Heng was still full of energy, and his attitude became more and more intense.

"The ministers also asked the military department to give Shi Heng in the middle of the matter, and set him up in prison for the crimes of interfering in politics with vain words, ignorance of the general situation, and delaying the military aircraft, and instructed the world to be punished as a lesson for those who come!"

The voice has not yet fallen, Zhu Cihong, who has a long body and a heroic atmosphere, also entered from the side of the Wenhua Palace!

This is the former prince's office, the place where the prince lectured and studied in the early years, strictly speaking, it can be said to be his territory. This place is extremely far away from the East Palace, and the news is also spread quickly, and when Zhu Cihong decides, it is just in time for Guang Shiheng to finish.

The crown prince entered the government with high spirits, and threatened to kill the ministers who spoke...... The ministers were in an uproar.

Chen Mingxia and Gong Dingxiao are both Qing classes, the two are in similar positions, originally listening to Guang Shiheng's non-stop fireworks, both of them have boring looks, but at this time they are both in good spirits!

Gong Dingyu arrived at Chen Mingxia and said softly: "How?" ”

"Hehe," Chen Mingxia only stared at Zhu Cihong, and said without moving: "Anyway, I admire the courage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

"Me too."

"But it's easy to appear and it's hard to end......" Chen Mingxia said with a worried look on his face: "It seems that His Royal Highness is the mastermind behind this matter, but the emperor didn't know it before, and now he understands it all." In this dynasty system, the crown prince cannot interfere in national affairs, let alone form a party! This time, the prince has committed a big taboo, I think ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Mingxia closed his mouth.

Being in the palace, when the court was discussing, although everyone was talking about it because of Zhu Cihong's appearance, and no one was staring at them for a while, it was not convenient to say too much anyway!

However, Chen Mingxia's unfinished words, Gong Dingyu also knew it in his heart.

This young master is really brave and very respectful. And he was shrewd in seeing things, knowing that Guang Shiheng was using righteousness to treat the emperor and roasting the emperor on the fire, and his intentions were very sinister.

However, the Ninety-Five Supreme in front of him is really not a shrewd lord...... I'm afraid that this emperor, whose face has become very ugly, is thinking about the fact that he is jealous of the crown prince dividing his authority and secretly forming a party, and the emperor is very important to the ancestral family law and various rules because of the lessons of the Wanli Emperor and the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and he refuses to make mistakes every step of the way, so even the scholars of the Donglin Party who are good at biting people can't catch the mistakes of the emperor, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, and after a long time, I am afraid that the emperor himself does not know how to write the word "foul".

It's right to follow the rules, but it's too bad, it's "conformist" or "not knowing the change".

Even if the crown prince is very reasonable, I am afraid that he will not be able to get around the threshold of the ancestral system......

"What are you doing out there!" Chongzhen was really very annoyed, sitting on the imperial seat, his eyes were also staring at Zhu Cihong, and he shouted in a low voice: "Quickly retreat!" ”

Zhu Cihong had already knelt down, listening to Chongzhen's words, but he only touched his head, and then raised his head and said: "The son is outside, and he was very angry when he heard the words of this light Shiheng, so he rashly entered the palace, and if he violated the rules, please punish his father." ”

"If you know it's wrong, go on quickly!"

"Erchen still has something to say!"

"Say no more, go down!"

Chongzhen was already very angry and shouted angrily. Under his angry anger, few people dared to persevere, but before Zhu Cihong came in, he also considered all the consequences, and only after thinking about it clearly did he come in, and told him to retreat in a few words, how could it be?

"After the son finishes speaking, he will naturally retreat." Holding his head high, Zhu Cihong just said in a deep voice: "Guang Shiheng is really a demon to confuse the public!" It is indeed the ancestral system for the Son of Heaven to guard the country, but it also depends on the current situation! When the times have changed, how can we stick to the rules and remain the same? If there is no soldier to be saved, there is no city to defend inside. There are no soldiers and no generals in Shanxi today, and among the Beijing divisions, there are less than 10,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp, and the internal emptiness has reached the extreme! However, the Guanning soldiers have not yet been mobilized, and the hearts of the soldiers and horses in the northern and southern towns are fluctuating, there is a lack of food and salary, and the dispatch is out of order...... Let's ask, when the thieves arrived in Beijing, how many towns and soldiers came to Qinwang, and how many soldiers and horses could be raised to defend the city in the capital? How many silver taels are there to be sacrificed, and how much grain and grass are waiting for help? There is no success inside and outside, the cabinet ministers and the military department have no way to deal with it, and the country's major policies, can it only be on the arrogant and useless words of this son of heaven guarding the country? Guang Shiheng only cares about inviting the name and confusing the public with evil words, which is really very hateful, and he can't be punished by beheading, he should really peel off the skin and grass, thinking that it is the ring of the comer! ”

"It's really a pleasure to say......"

"The prince really understands people."

"Sure enough!"

Among the ministers, of course, there are many people who understand. It's just that the superior is confused, and what he says clearly is listened to as a foolish word, and it is not worth it to hand the pretty eyes to the blind in vain.

And the crown prince's words were said in an orderly manner, with clear layers, and they were very reasonable!

Sure enough, it was Chongzhen's surname, and when he heard the end, he was also quite touched. Shicai's anger was also gone, but he was left suspicious, and his eyes were no longer staring at Zhu Cihong, but at Guang Shiheng, who was pale.

Sure enough, as the prince said, this guy is really very hateful and should be killed......

The palace was silent for a while, and there were obviously many people among the ministers who agreed with the prince's words, and even the emperor looked impressed...... Zhu Cihong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his desperate fight seemed to be about to work!

"The minister thinks that the crown prince has violated many rules and regulations, and the emperor should be punished, and the minister does not dare to speak falsely. But the minister thinks that what His Highness said is all false! ”

At the most critical moment, Fan Jingwen, an important minister, came out of class and bowed down to play.

As soon as this important minister, who was about to pass the sixtieth birthday, opened his mouth, many people who were originally eager to try it retreated.

Chongzhen also showed a solemn look on his face, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Fan Qing can speak in detail." ”

"The Supreme One, the Son of Heaven, the Supreme One, the Truth. There was a bloody battle in the front, but the rear was shouting for pro-conquest, but in fact, it was moving south and escaping, there was no reason for this. ”

Fan Jingwen has always been known for being upright and outspoken, and his speech is also simple and unpretentious, as soon as he heard him say this, Zhu Cihong's heart sank, and he knew that the big thing was going to happen.

"In today's trend, the first is to cheer up people's hearts, if the emperor goes south, people's hearts are out of control, just ask, what will happen next? How will the people of the world look at our emperor? ”

Fan Jingwen is really very old and spicy, and every sentence is said in the depths of Chongzhen's heart.

This emperor, cherishing feathers is really to the depths of the soul, Chongzhen can be said to be a political figure with political cleanliness, the only thing he cares about and requires is that his reputation in history must be innocent, and he must be far higher than his imperial grandfather, father, and brother!

Other than that, it doesn't get much more important than that.

When the world was turbulent, he, the son of heaven, did not say that he would guard the country to inspire the people, but he fled with his back, if he could turn the tables around, if he still lost the game, wouldn't it be a big joke?

He refused to escape, his heart was between Fan Jingwen's words!

"In today's strategy, the minister thinks that there is really nothing else to talk about except to consolidate people's hearts and stick to waiting for help." In the end, Fan Jingwen looked at Zhu Cihong and said lightly: "As for His Royal Highness the Prince, how can he have any insight before he reaches the weak crown?" Shicai said, most of it is due to others, the minister also heard that Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital, had invited the prince to go south to supervise the country, the minister thought that this generation is just hoping to be rich, with His Royal Highness Chongling, never knew that the world is difficult, did not know the army and soldiers, did not know the agricultural crops, what is the benefit of supervising the country? What is the right place to supervise the country? It's just the selfishness of Li Banghua and others! Today, I am willing to ask the emperor, cheer up, severely punish the annihilation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to the East Palace to study and think, it is very good! ”

Looking at this old minister with the name of Qingjie, when he looked at himself, he also had a rigid look. Zhu Cihong understands in his heart that this person may not be of the same heart as Chen Yan, but these words are from the heart.

Such pedantic Confucian ministers always think that the truth is in their own hands, and in terms of their charisma, they are far from being comparable to their young prince......

Sure enough, Chongzhen, who said what he said, was greatly moved, and the ministers were also silent, and among the trains, only Chen Mingxia and others sneered.

"I think clearly...... Chongzhen was also very emotional, stepped down from the golden platform, and actually helped Fan Jingwen up with his own hands, everyone saw it clearly, Chongzhen even had red eyes.

The emperor, who has always been strict and resolute, looked at his ministers, his tone was light but his feelings were very sincere, strong and deep: "Since I ascended the throne, I boast that I have no loss of morality, if God blesses me, then the country will survive this catastrophe, if not, the Ming Dynasty is also guarding the country with the Son of Heaven, and I have punished many ministers who have lost their power and land. ”

Speaking of this, Chongzhen smiled slightly and said to the ministers: "I have made up my mind!" If the destiny of the country is really not in me, I am also worthy of the community, subjects! ”

After that, he said sharply to Zhu Cihong: "I have raised all the people and governed the country for more than ten years, but I still dare not say that everything is satisfactory, and you are a young child, and you dare to discuss national politics in vain?" But thinking of you is also worrying about state affairs, and what you see is not all unreasonable. I will no longer sin against you in this matter, you go down first, and think about it behind closed doors! ”

Although the words were strict, in fact, they also gave Zhu Cihong a step down, and there would definitely be no punishment, at most, it would be punished behind closed doors, and that would be it.

This crown prince, although Fan Jingwen claimed to dare not say anything, stepped on Zhu Cihong's face one by one, which was very humiliating, and his words were also quite marketable among many ministers. After all, the Ming Dynasty has not sinnered people in the past few decades, and the power of Wenchen is enough to resist the imperial power. Chongzhen, intentionally or unintentionally, can be regarded as protecting this son who is really a bit rebellious......

A court discussion, in the end, it was still like this, Zhu Cihong bit his lip tightly, and he didn't know that the blood was flowing down.

I'm really too weak...... No matter how you flutter, you can't move such a heavy history. All trajectories, at least for now, are still going in the same direction......

He bit his lip, touched his head in the temple, and then came out on his feet.

No matter what, for himself, for Changping and Zhaoren, for Zhou Hou and Concubine Yuan, for a few brothers who are not really close, he has to persevere to the end!

Even if it's ...... For the emperor in front of him, Chongzhen!

The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies...... Ignorance is ignorance, pedantry is pedantic, but when the right person Chongzhen speaks, the brilliance on his face and the personality charm in it, how can people who are not in the middle understand the profound meaning contained in it!

……

……

"Master, the emperor called in."

Just standing here, the inside has been called in, Zhu Cihong smiled slightly, slightly dressed up, and strode forward.

Chongzhen was furious, his eyes were staring at where Zhu Cihong came from, and Zhou Hou was kneeling on the ground to apologize for Zhu Cihong.

Today's matter, to say that Zhu Cihong is good at specialization is really bold, if Chongzhen investigates and wants to abolish him as a prince, I am afraid it is very possible.

"The son knocks to see his father!"

"You don't have to get up!" Chongzhen was very angry and shouted, "You really can't think of you? I have already tolerated you! ”

"Yes, Erchen knows it in his heart, and he is very grateful to Jun En." Zhu Cihong raised his head and said very resolutely: "But what Guang Shiheng said is really unreasonable, the son still asks his father to make a plan to move south quickly, it is not beneficial to be trapped in Beijing, and he will go to Nanjing to rule the new officials, rectify the army, and take charge of the land of wealth, and there is still a chance for Zhongxing!" ”

As he spoke, he touched his head again and again, and there was a sound, even if the forehead corner touched the blood, it did not stop.

Today, whether it is to break into the court or enter the Qianqing Palace to plead again, Zhu Cihong has made up his mind to do his best!

People who are at the end of the day are still thinking about whether the medicine has side effects, isn't that a big joke?

Even if the crown prince is deposed!

He is so strong, but Chongzhen is more and more annoyed, his surname is like this, he looks down on him if he is too weak, he is too strong and suspicious that people look down on him, originally this son he wanted to preserve, because Zhu Cihong's civil and military assets made him appreciate it very much, and he became more and more aware that the country passed on to this eldest son, Chongzhen was still relieved.

If it weren't for that, after the court meeting today, he might have asked someone to send a decree to imprison the prince!

But this son didn't understand his hard work, and he dared to insist on it like this, and his appearance was like coercion!

Zhou Hou understood Chongzhen's surname very well, and she was also very frightened at this time, she was about to step forward to stop Zhu Cihong, but she only felt that it was dark in front of her, and she felt that the soles of her feet were shaking, and the lights around Qianqing Palace were also swaying suddenly!

"Earthquake?"

Everyone was pale, Zhu Cihong hurriedly got up, first pushed Zhou Hou under the imperial case, and then stepped forward to hug Chongzhen with his arms, and said, "Father, avoid it." ”

Chongzhen's face turned pale, he glanced at Zhu Cihong, and did not dodge, pacing to the door, the father and son went out together, but saw the wind howling outside, flying sand and stones, a desolation between heaven and earth, dozens of steps away, just nothing to see.

"Alas, this is a warning from heaven and earth......"

Chongzhen's face was very ugly, a few days ago, the Fengyang earthquake, the entire Yan Kyoto was discussing this matter, and now the Jingshi has this kind of vision, isn't this a warning?

He was very sad in his heart, looked at Zhu Cihong, and felt that after all, this son was loyal and filial, so he sighed immediately, patted Zhu Cihong on the shoulder, and said softly: "Wu'er, you don't understand, I can't leave until the last moment." To govern the world, we must have all the ability and political integrity, and we must be in front of the talent. Those ministers, one by one, are staring at our masters, and if they are not careful, they will be stinging heads......"

At this time, Zhu Cihong was also shocked, and understood in his heart that the power of Wenchen in the late Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen's indecisiveness now seem to have his reasons and hardships......

"It's just, Father......"

"I know, I know!" After a short period of weakness, Chongzhen was the kind of emperor who was high up again, his hand was half raised in the air, and he said to Zhu Cihong: "Don't you have an internal soldier?" Send some out, sentinel detectives to inquire, once the thieves invade the territory and the Beijing division still has no choice, let's go, how about it? Rest assured...... I won't let you be trapped in the city, I want to make you a peaceful son, my son has only learned people, and the surname is also very similar to me, I will hand it over to you tomorrow, I am very relieved......"

"Yes, Erchen understands." At this moment, Zhu Cihong also had nothing to say, his eyes were with Chongzhen, just looking at a vast sky, there, there was no peaceful and prosperous world that Chongzhen was imagining, all of them were just yellow sand, and what they brought was just the power of heaven and earth!
