In Kunning Palace, Zhou Hou already knew about the fall of Changping, and hugged and cried with her daughter. Concubine Yuan had no children, so she just watched and wiped her tears.

“bixia？” Zhou Hou heard a rush of footsteps, raised his head and saw her husband holding a blood-dripping sword, looking at her mother and daughter with blood-red eyes, and she already understood in her heart.

"As the mother of the country, I can't be humiliated, and I have prepared three feet of white silk." Zhou Hou hurriedly got up to block his daughter: "Kunxing is still young, so send it back to Jiadingbo." "Jiading Bo Zhou Kui is the father of Zhou Hou, although the father and daughter have been much colder, but after all, he is still Zhu Yujiao's maternal grandfather.

"Who let her be born in heaven!" Chongzhen roared sadly, the long sword in his hand couldn't help trembling, and his tears washed away the blood stains on his face, leaving two distinct marks.

"Kunxing!" Zhou Hou turned around and hugged her daughter tightly in her arms.

Chongzhen recalled the family feelings of the past, staggered, stepped forward, and said softly: "Soon...... It doesn't hurt ......."

“bixia！” Concubine Yuan stepped forward and knelt down in front of Chongzhen: "Please forgive the concubine for taking the first step." "When he says that, he often slams his sword into it.

Chongzhen watched his favorite concubine collide with the long sword, and just said, "Okay, you go first, and I will come later." ”

Zhu Yujiao's eyes widened in fright, and she couldn't even scream.

In this moment of cold silence, the sound of iron armor rubbing came from outside Kunning Palace.

Chongzhen said sadly: "The thief has already entered the city!" ”

"Father! Erchen is back! ”

Zhu Cihong was still outside the door, and his voice had already come in.

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, his face was full of sadness, he threw the sword on the ground heavily, turned his head and shouted outward: "What are you doing when you come back!" ”

Zhu Cihong took three steps and made two steps, and rushed in. Seeing Concubine Yuan lying on the ground, she hurriedly called the green-shirted doctor behind her to come in. He was talking to Shen Tingyang in the outer residence of the East Palace before, and when he heard that Changping had fallen, he hurried to the palace, but he was still a step too slow.

Zhou Hou saw that the eldest son was dressed in iron armor, wearing a bright helmet, and his hair was heroic. Seeing that he was much taller and stronger than he had been out of the palace, his heart was filled with joy and sorrow. She let go of her daughter and hugged her, tears raining down: "It's okay or not, our family is finally together." ”

"Father, mother." Zhu Cihong let his mother hold him, and said to Chongzhen: "The son came just in time, please come out of the palace with the son and the queen mother." ”

Chongzhen said sadly: "The king is dead, and I will definitely not leave." If you can go. Let's go to Nanjing to succeed to the throne. ”

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "With the wisdom of my father, I was still mistaken by the minister. Didn't Erchen go to Nanjing to be clearly harmed by those civil, military, and mediocre beetles? Father and son have already prepared a sea ship in Tianjin, and the number of Ming Qi is not exhausted, and the father and emperor are still in charge of the Qiankun and restore the ancestral industry. ”

Seeing this situation after Zhou, he hurriedly persuaded: "Bixia! I didn't leave before to guard the ancestral mausoleum. If you don't leave now, I'm afraid that even the incense of the temple will not be left! ”

"I am the Emperor. If you abandon the country today, what face do you have to keep your promises! Chongzhen stomped his feet: "Let's go!" I am the only one who dies here. so as not to disgrace the ancestors. ”

"Father, if that's the case, please forgive your son's rudeness." Zhu Cihong gently comforted his mother, and bowed to Chongzhen: "Father and Emperor must leave today." ”

"Are you going to ruin my name!" Chongzhen stared at Zhu Cihong.

"This is a chaotic life, and the sons and daughters will march to admonish!" Zhu Cihong didn't wait for Chongzhen to react, and had already sent a signal of military advice.

The East Palace guards led by Xiao Mo and She An poured in. stepped forward at the moment to help Chongzhen: "Bixia, the matter is urgent, the car is ready." After that, he couldn't help but say that Chongzhen drove out of the palace.

Chongzhen didn't react until the door, but he couldn't break free. These two strong men could only be allowed to "send" him into the carriage. The inside of the carriage has been transformed, there are thick quilts on all sides, wine is contained in leather bags, meat is wrapped in oiled paper, there is not even a bone in the meat, there is not an inch of hard objects, and Chongzhen will never be allowed to commit suicide.

Seeing such a careful arrangement, Chongzhen naturally knew that his son was not preparing in a hurry, and suddenly felt a little lost in his heart: his son had grown up...... Then he was a little relieved, and seemed to really believe that his son could turn the tide.

Zhu Cihong sent Zhou Hou and Kun Xing to another carriage and comforted: "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters already have a perfect plan, and my Ming Dynasty will never fall here." ”

"Swords and guns have no eyes, I'm careful." Zhou Hou caressed Zhu Cihong's face, with tears in her eyes, and persuaded softly.

Zhu Cihong responded to the call and ordered someone to drive the car out of the side gate of the Forbidden City. On that day, the ministers discussed so many things such as guards, palaces, grain and grass, and now they can be solved with just a carriage, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face to those theorists.

Liu Ruoyu also entered the palace and found Zhu Cihong and said: "Your Highness, the right person Wang Chengen came to report that the thieves under the city sent Du Xun, the supervisor of the late Xuanfu, into the city to negotiate peace with the imperial court. ”

"Talk to him." Zhu Cihong said: "The others hurry up and transport the national treasure of the seal and the shrine of the temple out, and you will personally check it according to the number." ”

Liu Ruoyu nodded yes, turned around and left.

"Horseback riding!" Zhu Cihong shouted: "All officials will be given forbidden to ride horses!" ”

The palace is so big, how long does it take to run around and run errands? And the most important thing to lack now is time.

Liu Ruoyu had already numbered the objects needed to maintain the imperial court and the inner court, and wrote down clearly who was responsible for what things. Even the retreat route of the internal officials had already been rehearsed, and soon an orderly contingent was formed in the palace. Many of the palace people who fled saw that the team was neat, and they unconsciously leaned over, thinking that the emperor was going to leave the palace Nanxing.

Liu Ruoyu was not polite to them and instructed them to carry some heavy objects.

Zhu Cihong got the jade seal from the female official of the inner palace, returned to the Wuying Palace, quickly stepped onto the throne, and said to Hou Fangyu, who was amazed below: "Draft, seal Wu Sangui as the king of Guangning, and take three hundred miles from Shanhaiguan to Guangning as the country of Guangning, according to the example of North Korea!" ”

Hou Fangyu had already prepared paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and he couldn't help but be frightened at this time: "Your Highness! It's ......"

"This is the Divine Decree!" Zhu Cihong raised his chin: "Let his Wu family keep this country forever." ”

Hou Fangyu has always taken Wu Weiye as a lesson from the past, and he did not dare to go against Zhu Cihong's intentions, and Long Fei Feng Wu wrote. In the end, it is a genius in Jiangnan, a beautiful seal is written in a simple and elegant manner, and the text is written without adding points. He was still thinking about his father, and he didn't know if the guards of the East Palace had gone to the edict to rescue his father.

Zhu Cihong only brought Min Zhanlian and a team of masters into Beijing to protect his own safety. Then infiltrated the Beijing Division, but there were a thousand headquarters, which was the Thousand Headquarters of the Left Army led by Xiao Mo. After they entered the city, they immediately went to various places, took out the cash from the treasury of the East Palace, and escorted them out of Beijing. There was also a team of scribes, led by Hou Fangyu, who followed Zhu Cihong and drafted documents at any time.

In addition to the edict that crowned Wu Sangui as the king, there was also an edict pardoning the civil and military ministers during the Chongzhen period, and the edict that the Son of Heaven survived to stay in the capital and ordered the civil and military officials to go south to accompany him. As for many of the documents for the transfer of the army, because they did not need to be eloquent, they were handed over to other secretaries, and for a while, the Wuying Hall was full of ink fragrance and rustling.

"Minister Shen Tingyang pays a visit to His Highness." Shen Tingyang handled a wave of personnel and entered the palace to see Zhu Cihong.

"It's really a blessing for Daming to have the help of Wumei Gong this time." Zhu Cihong personally greeted him.

In these days when he was out marching and fighting, there was no one in charge of the overall situation in Beijing. Liu Ruoyu was able to arrange the palace safely, but he couldn't do anything in the outer court. Although all the scholars are also inclined to the prince, they will never run for the prince's affairs, at most they will secretly give some convenience.

The shipment of 50,000 craftsmen to Shandong in batches depended on Shen Tingyang's dedication. Because at the beginning, it was said that it was settled in Jiangnan, and Shen Tingyang had already placed many Zhuangzi in Jiangnan, but as a result, Zhu Cihong changed it to Shandong, so Shen Tingyang posted his own money, and found a lot of land in Shandong, and transported people over, and even the silver used for resettlement was Shen Tingyang's ancestral property.

"What a loyal and capable officer!" Zhu Cihong held Shen Tingyang's arm: "Bixia is already in the south, this is a batch of zuihou." ”

Shen Tingyang said: "Your Highness, when the Renchen Rebellion was in place, the imperial court set up a bow and crossbow arrow shop in Tianjin, and the gunpowder and artillery were iron, and it would be a pity if these craftsmen abandoned them." The ministers are willing to scatter all their wealth and send them to Denglai as well. ”

Zhu Cihong was overjoyed: "I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I'm afraid of embarrassing Wumei Gong." "You have to put pressure on your subordinates, but not too much pressure, otherwise it is likely to hit the enthusiasm of your subordinates, and you won't even be able to do things. Shen Tingyang was able to bring it up by himself, and he must have had an excessive amount of it.

"I'm afraid they won't leave." Shen Tingyang said.

The craftsmen of the Jingshi were all registered slave laborers, which was equivalent to the private property of the emperor's family. Those craftsmen in Tianjin are all free people, and no one can force them.

Theoretically, no one can force it, and generally speaking, people always have room for negotiation when they see two things.

One is silver.

The second is knives and guns.

Zhu Cihong is not lacking in both.

Shen Tingyang received the order, and with him went out was a holy decree ordering the Tianjin guards to recruit craftsmen. Zhu Cihong looked at a Daoming Huang Shengzhi, held the national seal in his hand, and personally sealed the bell, and finally had the feeling of returning to the control of the party back then. Although he still didn't think of how to communicate with his emperor father, it was already a plan in his heart not to give up the power in his hands.

……

"As long as Zhu is willing to abdicate the throne, my emperor is willing to crown his eldest son Zhu Cihong as the king of Song, and follow the customs of Qi and Song to inherit the heir." Du Xun unashamedly read out Li Zicheng's conditions, and explained to Wang Chengen: "The Holy Son of Heaven is benevolent and generous, as long as the Zhu family abdicates, he will definitely treat the Zhu family well, no matter what, the Zhu family is also the heavenly family of Chengping for three hundred years." ”

Wang Chengen knew that Ouchi was already moving, and his task was to drag it out for a while, so he snorted and asked, "What about King Ding and King Yong?" ”

Du Xun responded: "All of them are crowned princes." ”

"Where's Princess Kunxing?"

"Still send her out of the palace as a princess gift."

"Hmm......" Wang Chengen was silent for a long time, and said, "Let's wait for our family to ask what Bixia means, right?" (To be continued......)
