The results of the investigation soon reached Li Xin, after sunrise, the Qing army counterattacked strongly, the Three Guards calmly counterattacked, a commando rushed into the Qing army from the flank, causing chaos in the Qing army, and the slave chief Dolgon seemed to have been hit by a stray bullet in the melee, and he fell off his horse on the spot and did not know whether he was alive or dead.

In just half an hour, the powerful offensive of the Qing army quickly collapsed with the unknown life and death of Dolgon, and an hour later, he fled north without even caring about the camp.

The Qing army's withdrawal was extremely strange, even if Dolgon was seriously injured and killed on the spot, it would not have been so embarrassed to retreat, and it almost broke and fled. Li Xin thought about it and felt that there must have been a change in the Qing army that they did not know about.

In fact, as Li Xin expected, at sunset, news came from Liaodong that Shengjing City had a coup d'état the day before, and the mastermind behind the coup was Huang Sheng, who led the Jiangnan Trading Company.

Huang Sheng's report was very detailed, and after Dolgon left Beijing, the prince of Zheng, who had been dormant, found him for support. As a result, the Jiangnan Trading Company contributed money and weapons, and under careful planning, it united many anti-Dolgon clan forces, and it was easy to take down the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor.

However, regarding the abolition of the new emperor, Huang Sheng only hoped to choose one of the heirs of Huang Taiji. As for who the candidate is, it has not yet been determined when Huang Sheng sent a secret report. But one thing is certain, and that is that the internal contradictions of the Manchus have erupted, and those opponents of Dorgon are eager to take out the regent of the imperial father.

Of course, Li Xin knew that this was inextricably linked to the series of battles in Korea last year, and that Dorgon's authority was worn away bit by bit in that repeated defeats.

The results of the investigation were soon reported to Empress Zhou, but Li Xin concealed the Manchu infighting, and it was better not to let the courtiers know about the existence of the Jiangnan Trading Company.

There were bursts of exclamations in the warm pavilion of the Wenhua Palace, and unlike before, this exclamation was accompanied by undisguised excitement and peace of mind.

The Manchu infighting, for the Ming Dynasty, would bring a respite on the northern border for at least three or two years, which was already a rare opportunity for the stormy empire.

"Zhenyu Hou, I have a sentence that I don't know whether it is appropriate or not, the book says that the poor Kou Mo chases, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty is defeated and flees to the north, why not give them a ride, and then stop the army, how about it? The court can't help but fight! ”

After Queen Zhou was overjoyed and excited, she immediately thought of the next countermeasure.

This is also in line with Li Xin's intention, let Dolgon lead his troops back and fight with Zilharang to defeat both sides.

A seemingly vigorous siege of Beijing ended with Dolgon's embarrassment fleeing north.

In fact, even if Shengjing did not fight among himself, Li Xin was confident that he would completely defeat Dorgon's Qing army under the city of Beijing. The three divisions transferred from Nanjing to the north had already taken a boat north, and they could arrive at Tianjin Wei in seven days.

Now it seems that a lot of effort has been saved.

In the warm pavilion, the important ministers were all smiling, and they couldn't imagine that a catastrophe would pass so easily.

As long as Li Xin has a proposal, he will be the first to second, and Liu Yuliang is not as concerned with himself as before, and he never raises objections.

However, the eunuch tiptoed to present a secret letter, which completely disrupted Queen Zhou's good mood.

And she was also disillusioned the moment she looked at the secret music.

"How, how is this good?"

Wei Zaode's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked:

"Dare to ask Your Highness, is it because there has been a change in the south?"

"What Wei Qing said is exactly that Yang Sichang colluded with Zuo Liangyu, intended, intended to establish King Shen!"

"How much is it true? The Cabinet has not yet received a report from the local military. ”

Liu Yuliang asked in a deep voice.

Queen Zhou was obviously in a big mess, and she talked about the secret matter regardless of it.

"The Son of Heaven has sent secret agents in various provinces, and whenever there is any change in the place, he will know it as soon as possible. This, this secret report will not be wrong! ”

As soon as the words fell, another eunuch presented the secret music, and Queen Zhou opened it again, and saw that it was Yang Sichang and Zuo Liangyu who established King Shen as the emperor. The strength of the army led by Yang Sichang is no less than that of the Liaodong border army, if this person unites with Zuo Liangyu and King Shen, can the imperial court still have the strength to fight?

Queen Zhou's thoughts were so confused that she couldn't think independently, so she kept repeating, "How should this be good, how should this be good......

Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty repeatedly violated the border, in the eyes of the Empress Zhou, it was just a problem of elbows and armpits, and the rebellion of the vassal king was a problem of the heart.

Husband Zhu Youzhen is now a wasted person, even if his hands and feet are intact, it is impossible for Queen Zhou to hope that he will preside over the court as before. Zhu Youzhen hates her to the bone now, if he regains power, he will first abolish her as the queen, and maybe even the prince will be angry.

And her only hope now is only the crown prince Zhu Cihong, and in order to keep Zhu Cihong's legal inheritance, the only one she can rely on is the Marquis of Zhenyu and his three guards.

In the early morning of the second day, the exact news finally reached Jingshi. Yang Sichang and Zuo Liangyu were armed with 800,000 troops and had already broken into Shanxi.

The banner is to use the rotten "Qingjun side", and it is preached to the outside world that Empress Zhou colluded with Li Xin to murder the Son of Heaven and Qingliu loyal ministers, and the army went north to hang the people.

In the warm pavilion, the important ministers and Queen Zhou did not sleep all night.

Li Xin believes that the most urgent task at the moment is to set the matter straight.

"Your Highness, the minister suggests that the Son of Heaven should be a Zen throne, and the crown prince will immediately ascend the throne to be heard by the world! At the same time, order the Tian Fuzhen Department, which is located at the junction of Huguang and Henan, to go north to attack the thieves! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Wei Zaode and Liu Yuliang seconded the proposal in unison, expressing support for Zhu Cihong's early accession to the throne.

The young prince was originally drowsy because he stayed up late, but when he heard that the important ministers were going to support him as the emperor, his eyes suddenly lit up, did he finally inherit his father's country? An unprecedented sense of mission swollen in the young prince's chest.

In a hurry to ascend the throne, everything must be done quickly, in order to strike first and hit the morale of King Shen's rebels fighting for the throne.

During the intensive arrangement, Shandong, Shanxi, and even the southern part of Zhili successively reported defeat. The morale of the Yang Zuo coalition army was high, and the momentum was like a bamboo, which made the people in the capital panic, and Queen Zhou was even more at a loss.

Wei Zaode suddenly wrote to the Empress of Zhou, proposing to reopen the Dadu Governor's Mansion, with Li Xin, the Marquis of Zhen, as the Dadu Governor, who was directly responsible to the Son of Heaven, to control the soldiers and horses of the world, and to unify and quell the rebellion.

Empress Zhou hesitated for the first time, the imperial court has always controlled the military with literature, and the military affairs are controlled by the cabinet through the military department.

The reopening of the Metropolitan Governor's Office meant that the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the Cabinet became parallel institutions that were not subordinate to each other, and from then on, the Cabinet and the Cabinet no longer had the power to restrain the generals.

When Li Xin learned of Wei Zaode's proposal, he immediately wrote a letter to express his case, opposing the reopening of the Dadu Governor's Mansion.

However, Empress Zhou only hesitated slightly, and chose to support Wei Zaode's proposal without hesitation. Although Li Xin refused three times, she still insisted, and finally even hundreds of officials jointly proposed to reopen the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Li Xin no longer objected.

A few days later, Mi Yan and Lu Jiu arrived in Beijing together, along with tens of thousands of elites of the Three Guards. These two people are the patriarchs of the Three Guards, and their arrival made everyone smell a hint of something unusual.

Things are going to be as dizzying as a marquee.

On the tenth day of the first month of March, the crown prince Zhu Cihong ascended the throne and set the year name as "Yonghe". And because the crown prince has not yet been crowned an adult, the queen mother Zhou is under the curtain. After the ceremony was completed, the first holy decree of the Son of Heaven was issued, and the government and the opposition were immediately shocked!

"Jin Li Xin is the "King of Wuwei County", and he also leads the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and immediately goes south to quell the rebellion......"

The eunuch's voice was sharp and piercing, echoing repeatedly in the Fengtian Temple, and the aftermath was difficult to disperse for a long time.
