Looking at Cai Maode, who did not eat oil and salt, Zhu Cihong suddenly had an illusion, and always felt like in the bloody TV series in his previous life, the rich and handsome oppressed the poor beautiful girl with his family power, and the beautiful girl would rather die and follow the poor boy...... It seems that a good memory is not necessarily a good thing.

After the blow of Cai Maode, the second blow followed. Emperor Chongzhen issued a clear decree ordering the crown prince Zhu Cihong to return to Beijing, which was tantamount to announcing the removal of the crown prince's power to levy on behalf of the Son of Heaven. At the same time, he appointed Li Jiantai, a bachelor who had only entered the cabinet last year, to go on the expedition with great courtesy, and personally served Li Jiantai - when Yang Sichang went on the expedition, the emperor only said "Wine and dinner with him." When Zhu Cihong left Beijing, he only had a family banquet.

"The emperor ordered the horse Duwei Wan Wei to sue the Taimiao, and also wrote the four big characters of 'Dai Zhen Zheng' on the main hall. Tsk, the emperor hasn't given a word to his ministers for several years, and this time it's a treasure like a Danshu iron coupon! The lieutenant official who came from the palace to deliver the edict was like a river, and told Zhu Cihong in detail about the situation that day.

He is Liu Ruoyu's confidant, and he is not afraid of his proprietor, so he said: "Along with this handwritten book, there is also a handle of the Dragon Festival and Shang Fang. At the end of the day, the holy car drove to the Zhengyangmen City Tower and personally presided over the feast, and the officials of Guanglu Temple looked stupid! That landscape, really, tsk, the flags are lined up from the noon gate to the Zhengyang gate! The Wenchen sat at nine tables on the east side, and the military attache sat on the nine tables on the west side, with the imperial seat in the middle, which together was nineteen seats.

The emperor used a golden taejue inlaid with big gems! That's a heavy weapon that is only occasionally used during the ceremony! The ministers also used gold cups. The emperor gave Li Jiantai three glasses of wine, and even the golden cup was given to him. The slave maid remembered that at that time, the Honglu Temple was praised, and the emperor personally said to Li Jiantai: 'Mr. is here, as if I am going in person', and also said: 'Qing is me, I am Qing'. After Li Jiantai drank three cups, he gave him this edict. ”

Zhu Cihong only listened to the middle few sentences intermittently. A mind fell on this "Qin Ci Du Auxiliary Hand Edict". Li Jiantai's original edict was Chongzhen's handwriting, and the one in his hand was just a pirated copy from the eunuchs of the inner palace. The font is different, but the content is good.

After Zhu Cihong read it carefully, he already had a comparison in his heart. As Yang Sichang and other superintendents and auxiliary ministers went out to fight, they carried Shang Fang's sword with them, but the scope of the dictatorship was limited to "civilian officials self-supervising the army, military preparation and salary divisions, Fuzhou and county officials, etc.; The military attache is subordinate and below. "High-ranking civil and military officials such as governors, governors, and soldiers can only participate. Let the emperor decide. There is no such restriction in the edict to Li Jiantai, no matter who is "guilty of true love, he will be engaged in it with Shang Fang", and it is also clearly emphasized that "all rewards and punishments between the lines are not controlled".

This authority has exceeded Zhu Cihong's previous edict, and it can also be seen that Emperor Chongzhen has reached the situation of looking for a life-saving straw everywhere.

"The emperor still stood in person at the Zhengyang Gate Tower and watched Li Jiantai leave Beijing." The eunuch was still chattering to himself.

Zhu Cihong passed the edict to Wu Fu. Wu Fu read ten lines at a glance and gave it to Sun Chuanting. After Sun Chuanting finished reading, he interrupted the eunuch. asked, "Which way did Li Jiantai go?" ”

The eunuch's mouth only paused, and then said, "I went south to Baoding." The ministers of the imperial court believed that there were still heavy troops guarding the Xuanfu and Datong areas, and Li Thief would definitely not take the road to the north, and he would definitely go to Baoding along the Yellow River. In this way, as long as Baoding is held and the troops are rushed to the aid of Xuanda, it can also become a barrier for the Beijing Division. ”

This eunuch's broken mouth also has an advantage, that is, to ask one answer to ten. Make things clear.

Zhu Cihong asked the eunuch: "Your name is Wu Qingchen?" ”

"It's the slave." Wu Qingchen said flatteringly.

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and ordered him to retreat: "I will have a reply to bring back to Liu Ruoyu, you can go and eat some food first." Don't drink alcohol. ”

"The slave obeys the order, thank you for the reward." Wu Qingchen hurriedly bowed and withdrew.

When there were only three people in the study, Zhu Cihong finally smiled helplessly and said, "This time, I can't catch Cai Maode." ”

"Alas, that's it." Sun Chuanting also sighed: "I'm afraid that Li Jiantai will live up to the emperor's deep expectations." ”

Donggong had already deduced Li Zicheng's next march route, and as long as Li Zicheng maintained his usual sanity and vision, he would definitely divide his troops and advance side by side. This would make it possible to expand the area of occupation. Reducing the pressure on the grain road can also avoid the inconvenience of the deployment of the army and the inability to turn the direction.

Especially in the battle on the river, he suffered the loss of inconvenient army scheduling, and Li Zicheng would not put more than 100,000 troops in one direction. What's more, the "Xuanda Force" that the imperial court thought only existed on paper, and the actual number of troops would only be one-third or even less of the number of registered troops. And that's only a third. It is also the majority of miscellaneous auxiliaries, and the rest are the main general's family members, who can protect their lives on the battlefield and compete for power and profit in the officialdom.

"Mr. Wu," Zhu Cihong also shook his head again and again, "My father ordered me to go back, what do you think?" ”

"Then it depends on how bold His Highness is." Wu Fu can always put on a calm and breezy appearance when he is nervous.

"It's huge." Zhu Cihong said decisively.

"Then I won't go back." Wu Fu said bluntly: "Shanxi can't hold it, Xuanda can't be relied on, and Beijing's city is broken." Now the DPRK and China are again debating the matter of moving south, and whether they move or not, it is unnecessary to return to Beijing. ”

"With what I know about my father, I can't move south." Zhu Cihong originally wanted to say "the prince died in Sheji", but he was afraid of scaring Wu Fu and Sun Chuanting, so he said tactfully: "My father's strength and courage have also been ranked first in three thousand years, and he categorically refused to be humiliated by his subordinates. ”

So the emperor can only die in Beijing!

Wu Fu naturally heard the sound outside the strings, and hesitated: "Your Highness, it is imminent to seize Shandong as a foothold. But ...... over there in Beijing."

"Your Royal Highness," Sun Chuanting has been leading the army for a long time, and he is more straightforward, "The ancients had a saying that 'the prince dies and the society is the one', but the Son of Heaven is an example for all the people after all, and he cannot be discarded. Now the towns are really divided, but on the bright side, they still have to be taken by the Son of Heaven. If Bixia dies, the world will inevitably fall apart and people's hearts will be scattered. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded in agreement. In the original script of history, Chongzhen did hang himself on the southeast branch, setting off a frenzy of "revenge" for the whole country. Even for a long time, Wu Sangui's introduction of Qing soldiers into the customs was regarded by the people of the time as a clever plan to "borrow the capture of Pingkou". The Hongguang regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty was even willing to thank the Qing soldiers for entering the customs, and Shi Kefa also sent a letter to Dolgon, expressing his willingness to provide grain, grass, cattle and sheep to reward the Qing soldiers.

If you only read the history books, Zhu Cihong feels that this is the ignorance of seeking skin with the tiger. However, after really living in this era for more than ten years, standing at the height of the crown prince, Zhu Cihong did not believe in the words "avenge the emperor" no matter what.

Chongzhen's death may have won a hundred years of sympathy, but at the moment, neither the small court in Jiangnan nor Wu Sangui have ever sincerely mourned for this young son of heaven. King Fu is just to sit firmly in half of the country and win people's hearts. Wu Sangui also used this to cover up his shameful behavior of shaving his head and being taken prisoner, and at the same time plotted to turn the land outside the border into private property. If Li Zicheng could generously seal the Shanhai Pass to Wu Sangui, even if Chongzhen was killed, Wu Sangui would not lead the Qing soldiers into the customs to take revenge.

And because the throne was vacant, the Zhu Ming clan suddenly saw the hope of ascending to the throne. The warlord with evil intentions also bred ambitions, no matter what, he grabbed a clan first, and once he had the opportunity, he would ascend the throne and succeed him, and he would become a powerful minister like Yi Yin Huoguang. Zheng Zhilong is one of them, and after he is done, it does not prevent him from surrendering to the Manchus.

If Chongzhen does not die, all the internal friction caused by the throne will naturally not exist. From this point of view, the chances of recovering the land are naturally much greater. After several internal frictions, the thirteen families of Kuidong can still gather 200,000 people, and fight the whole country in a corner, and persist until the third year of Kangxi, which has been a full twenty-one years since Jiashen. If there is no internal friction, what kind of earth-shattering thing will these people do?

Zhu Cihong was not an emotional person in his previous life and this life, and he can even be said to be indifferent to his family. However, even if it is a cold-blooded animal, it is impossible to watch the relatives who get along with each other day and night in this life not die well. "If my father insists on not leaving, I don't mind admonishing the soldiers." Zhu Cihong spit out that he had already prepared a plan in his heart: to use the disguise of the royal guards to kidnap the emperor and coerce his mother, younger siblings and other relatives to go with him.

Wu Fu and Sun Chuanting had already guessed it. The crown prince likes to be strong and tactful, and will not persuade the emperor patiently and meticulously as a courtier, and is bound to use the chips at hand to solve the problem in the most direct way.

"Your Highness, and then?" Wu Fu asked.

Then let the emperor abdicate as the emperor, and the crown prince ascended to the pole?

Or is it to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he is still a "virtuous and filial" crown prince? (To be continued......)
