Chapter 191: Rebellion in the Forbidden City
The two stood up, and Zhu Youxiao directly named Lin Dan Khan as the king of Shunyi and Huang Taiji as the king of Gongshun.
Whether these two people were happy to accept it or not, they could only be forced to accept the position of power arranged for them by Zhu Youxiao.
After this ceremony, Lin Dan Khan ordered the release of dozens of soldiers of the Eight Banners of Meng, Han and Jiannu, and let them spread the news that these two men had surrendered to Zhu Youxiao and accepted Zhu Youxiao's official position throughout the grassland.
At the same time, the Forbidden City is also carrying out this coup d'Γ©tat.
Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, led his soldiers out of the barracks and then set off towards the Forbidden City.
They quickly took control of the city defenses, and all the soldiers and officers who resisted and were dissatisfied with them were shot directly, and then Zhu Chunchen gave an order, and a large number of troops marched directly to the palace.
At this time, the palace can be described as empty, the real main force of the Jinyi Guard, as well as the soldiers of the warrior battalion and so on, have been transferred to the north, they occupy the entire palace, and they have not encountered any resistance.
When all these things were done, the officials and ordinary people in the capital felt panicked and didn't know what was going on, but there were also some smart people who had already guessed what kind of reason Zhu Chunchen did this.
After Zhu Chunchen occupied the entire palace, he immediately summoned all the civil and military ministers to come to the palace.
All the civil and military ministers heard this order, and they didn't dare to disobey it, after all, now the entire capital has been occupied by them, not to mention that these officials also want to know what is happening now, this Zhu Chunchen is doing such a thing now, it is tantamount to rebellion, and the emperor is not dead.
When all the civil and military ministers had gathered, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, came out and shouted loudly, "Everyone, we have received a piece of news that our Majesty has gone to the north to fight, and now he has been defeated. β
Now Jiannu has defeated our Majesty, and even our Majesty has died in the chaos.
The ministers of civil and military affairs present all became confused when they heard such words, in fact, such a thing could indeed be triggered, as if it was unexpected by a group of people, but it was within their sense.
Some officials couldn't hide it at this time, and said loudly, "I said that the army of 10,000 trained by His Majesty has not even fought a battle, and it is simply asking for a dead end to go to the north and sit there respectfully, and now that he has been defeated, what can I do now?" β
Some ministers also said, "When Your Majesty was about to set off, I had already persuaded Your Majesty, but Your Majesty had to listen, we scholars knew the world without going out, how powerful Jiannu was, we didn't know, after all, we still underestimated the enemy." β
There are also some ministers who said, "You can't blame Your Majesty for this matter, but you can only blame some traitors and some eunuchs who deliberately confuse Your Majesty, and if Your Majesty can reuse us capable people, it is also asserted that it is impossible to have such an end." β
The ministers discussed very quietly, but some of the eunuch ministers seemed very depressed, if His Majesty really did not have it, then what should they do?
At this time, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, walked out again and looked at the civil and military officials present and said, "Okay, don't discuss it anymore, this matter has already happened, and there is no point in you discussing it anymore." β
"We have received definite news, after Jiannu defeated His Majesty, he has now attacked Xifengkou, and will soon come to the city of our capital, and now we have to give an explanation."
The ministers heard that these contents were all messy, those Jiannu were very cruel, if they really came to the capital, they really couldn't keep it, then their wives and children couldn't be saved.
Everyone looked at Chengguo Gong again, now that His Majesty has taken away his army and been defeated, if there is anyone in the capital who has the strongest army and who has the ability to keep the capital, it can only be this Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen.
Chengguo Gong Zhu Chunchen is now their lifeline, they don't dare to offend Zhu Chunchen at all now, they are afraid that this Zhu Chunchen will pick and choose, so what should they do?
I only saw Hui Shiyang, the young secretary of Dali Temple, walking out, and shouted at Zhu Chunchen over there, "Cheng Guogong, now the thief is fierce, and he is about to be killed, what should we do, then you have to make a decision, and we will decide according to what you said." β
When Zhu Chunchen heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm just a military general, if I kill the enemy and kill the thief, I can do it, if you ask me to deal with the affairs of the court, even if it is a little difficult, all this has to wait for you to make a decision." β
When everyone heard this, they looked at Zhu Chunchen again, thought about it for a while, and looked at the bachelors of the various cabinets, only to see that the cabinet scholars of the eunuch party all closed their eyes at this time, and they didn't want to take care of things.
Everyone also understands the thoughts of these eunuch scholars, obviously if what Zhu Chunchen said is true, then they will soon be unlucky now, and now they are really not suitable to talk more, otherwise it will not be good for them to say more wrong.
Everyone looked at Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi in the cabinet again, only to see that Sun Chengzong hesitated for a moment, but still walked out to look at Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo over there, and asked: "The matter that Your Majesty has been defeated, I don't know if it has been determined, and the matter that Your Majesty has died on the battlefield, has it been determined?" β
Cheng Guozhong Zhu Chunchen had already guessed that someone would ask him like this, and he had everything ready in his hands.
I just saw that he took out a border pass emergency document from his arms, and said, "This is an emergency document sent by the border gate, and everything is clearly explained on it. β
Sun Chengzong didn't take the book, but just looked at Zhu Chunchen and asked, "Since this is an urgent document at the border gate, why didn't it reach the military department first, but into the hands of Chengguo Gong." β
"And why did Cheng Guogong not immediately hand it over to the scholars in the cabinet after receiving the emergency documents, but led the troops to ban the Forbidden City first."
Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen said with a smile, "This is also a helpless move, my soldiers received the most urgent documents at the city gate, I was afraid that there would be villains when this matter was announced, so I led the troops to take down the Forbidden City first, what I am afraid of is what kind of thief, take this opportunity to do something that hurts my Ming system, I am also sincere." β
