Wang Jiayan knelt in front of Chongzhen: "Emperor Qi, according to reliable information outside the city, the army of thieves has left Jingshi two days ago and headed for Shanhaiguan."

"Oh?" Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, "Wang Aiqing played in detail."

Since the imperial city and the palace city are still under heavy siege by thieves, the outer city and the inner city are all Li Zicheng's men.

In this case, it is inevitable that there will be a certain delay in the military situation of the Ming army, and Chongzhen does not blame them.

"The leaders are Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, who are mighty, it is said that there are two or three hundred thousand horses, the forward troops have arrived in Xuanfu, and now it is 100,000 thieves led by Li Yan who remain in the capital."

Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, pinched his fingers, and it was already the middle of April on the lunar calendar, almost a month after he crossed over.

According to the original historical trend, the Battle of Shanhaiguan is about to break out, and it is also for the sake of my two cheap sons Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Cijiong, I must get a trip to Shanhaiguan!

After Chongzhen made up his mind, he immediately convened civil and military affairs.

The Ming Imperial Palace Qianqing Palace.

The civil and military officials soon arrived, and Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair.

Chongzhen announced in public that from now on, the 16-year-old crown prince Zhu Cihong will begin to supervise the country, and the time is tentatively set for one month.

Within this month, Chongzhen announced to the public that he wanted to retreat and cultivate, and no one should disturb him, and all the affairs of the court and the central government were entrusted to the prince, hoping that the civil and military officials would fully assist the prince.

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he looked at Wang Jiayan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Jin Xuan, the squire of the Ministry of War, and then to the old ministers who surrendered called Fan Wenjing, Ni Yuanlu, Li Banghua and so on.

None of them spoke, and it may have happened a little suddenly, and the ministers didn't react for a while.

said that it was a matter of deliberation, but in fact, Chongzhen was a personal decision.

This is relatively rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty since the Ming Taizu and Chengzu.

Because this is equivalent to directly giving the cabinet a no.

It means that I am the emperor, and I alone have the final say.

Because Chen Yin and Guang Shiheng in front of them couldn't distinguish the situation, they had two more mouths and lost their heads, so after Chongzhen finished speaking, there were more than a dozen breaths, and none of the civil and military officials raised objections.

less tilting,

"The ministers obey the order, and the ministers will do their best to serve the court and assist the prince with all their might, please rest assured."

None of the civil and military officials present had a bad voice, they simply spoke in unison, kneeling down and talking together, which was more neat than the drill several times.

Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction.

The number one leader of a country has to decide a certain thing in the court, that is, the final word, and there is absolutely no noise allowed.

This is the majesty that an emperor should have.

is not like that Zhu Youzhen, who had no money and food to pay the soldiers and horses, and discussed with the cabinet, the emperor himself took the lead in donating out of his pocket, and when it was the turn of the civil and military officials to raise donations, they all played a meat battle.

Some are crying poor, and some are poor performers, deliberately taking moldy grains and vegetables to eat.

The emperor was played as a monkey, the civil officials played in the court, the military generals in the frontier played on the battlefield, and the good Ming Dynasty was wiped out.

The matter of moving the capital, as well as the matter of negotiation, the emperor said that it did not count, the court was bustling, the civil and military generals, the Donglin bigwigs and the eunuchs and factory dukes, all disturbed, bargaining and arguing like buying vegetables in the vegetable market.

What kind of system?!

Today's situation, even the eunuch Wang Chengen feels comfortable, the emperor has not had such a heavenly power for a long time!

The way of the monarch and the minister, the three outlines and five constants.

These can not be abandoned at any time, the imperial power must be arbitrary, the emperor's order cannot be violated, and the dragon scales are irreversible, this is the real court, long live long live, long live......

Wang Chengen only thought in his heart.

"Father, son, son, have a book......

Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the East Palace, said, kneeling down in front of the hall.

"What is the emperor's chapter, play it flat."

"Thank you." Zhu Cihong kowtowed and stood up from the ground, "Father and Emperor are only in charge of retreat and cultivation, and the affairs of the court, the emperor thinks that the prince will ask his father to adjudicate it."

On the side, the sons are young, they don't know the world, and the supervision of the country is a heavy burden, and the sons are a little powerless, and the sons have the courage to ask their father to take back their lives."

Of course, Zhu Cihong didn't know why Chongzhen suddenly wanted him to be in charge of the country.

"The emperor is the prince of the East Palace, the prince of a country, and he should experience it at the age of 16.

"Thank you, father, son, for obeying the order." Zhu Cihong didn't dare to say anything more.

"Retreat."

Chongzhen directly announced the dismissal of the meeting.

After the civil and military officials left, Chongzhen deliberately left a few.

In addition to Zhu Cilang, the crown prince of the East Palace, Wang Chengen, the chief of the inner house, Yang Wanli and Han Yin, the two thousand households of Jinyiwei, and the old horse Gong Yonggu.

Chongzhen said: "I plan to come to Shanhaiguan in person, this is a secret of the DPRK and China, and those who leak the secret should be punished."

"Your Ministers obey."

Zhu Cihong, Wang Chengen and others understood the reason, can a good and decent prince be able to supervise the country? It's just to hide people's eyes.

left his henchmen Wang Sheng and the old concubine Ma Gong Yonggu to assist the prince in supervising the country.

Wang Sheng is Wang Chengen's nephew, and he is responsible for serving the prince together with Zhou Jing, the guard of the East Palace in the middle.

It is said that it is a prison of the country, but in fact, it is a palace and an imperial city, and temporarily deal with the affairs of the palace and the imperial city, and 5,000 soldiers and horses can defend these two cities.

In addition to Wang Chengen, Chongzhen only brought Yang Wanli, a master of the Great Inner Jinwei, and Han Yin, disguised themselves, and four monarchs and ministers, who did not know the ghosts, and left the palace on the third watch that night.

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
