When the news came back to the capital, the whole capital was in an uproar, and many family members of officials and nobles wept bitterly, but they did not forget to quickly send people to pack up the gold and silver and prepare to flee south, for fear that they would be captured by the barbarians too late.

Or they can be killed directly, and there is no place to bury them.

After all, Tai Kangdi took away the capital, and even all the troops near the capital, and now the capital is almost undefended, and the Northern Barbarian army is not far from the capital, and it can be attacked in ten days.

Even if you want to transfer troops from other places to guard.

That's too late.

In order to save your life, it is normal to want to run.

Not only did those officials and nobles who had died on the battlefield want to flee south, but most of those officials and nobles who did not go to the battlefield also wanted to flee, after all, they didn't want to die, and even the Empress Dowager Sun, whose son was captured, wanted to save her son at the same time.

I'm also thinking about fleeing south, or moving south.

Once they succeed in moving south, it is really hard to say what the future will be, and maybe it will be a division between the north and the south, and from then on they will live in a corner, and the pattern of great unification will completely collapse.

Fortunately, King Xiang, who was in charge of the country, insisted on resisting to the end.

When the ministers were discussing and arguing about whether to move south, they rushed directly into the temple to take out the tablet of Taizu Taizong and the ancestral teachings, and strongly stated that he was not allowed to talk about moving south, and he would rather die than move south.

And those who dare to speak up should be punished by their ancestors.

Extinction ......

With the full support of the prince of Jianguo, some of the ministers who opposed the southward move finally had the fighting spirit, agreed one after another, and began to make suggestions to defend the capital.

In addition, considering that the prince of the prison country directly dispatched troops, it was a little unjustifiable, and the country could not be without a king for a day, Emperor Taikang only had one son, and that son was too young, and the country was in such a critical situation, of course, he still had to adhere to the policy of relying on the long-term monarch.

The most important thing is that now there are a large number of vacancies in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, if they can unswervingly defend the capital successfully, and push the king of Xiang to the throne, it is definitely a proper work from the dragon, it can be said that risks and opportunities coexist, do not take advantage of the current opportunity to take the throne, make meritorious contributions and occupy a higher position, it will be difficult in the future.

After all, this is likely to be a great thing to do.

Therefore, after careful consultation, the remaining hundred officials and nobles began to recommend King Xiang to the throne, especially after the captured Taikang Emperor knocked on the door and asked some city guards to open the door and let him and the Northern Barbarian army enter the customs, the dislike of the hundred officials and nobles and even the people of the capital reached a peak.

There are even officials who have asked for the abolition of the emperor.

Even the clan was quite dissatisfied with this.

Some of them were fierce, and they even ran to the temple to cry.

Under such pressure, she has always disagreed with King Xiang's accession to the throne, but wants to let her grandson ascend the throne, and the Empress Dowager Sun, who is her regent, is worried that if it continues like this, she will not respect her son as the emperor, but the hundred officials and nobles will unite with the clan and directly abolish her son, so in the end she can only pinch her nose and agree, let King Xiang ascend the throne.

But she still asked for her grandson to be made the crown prince.

The two sides can be said to have made each move, and then the entire enthronement ceremony is also very simple, it only took one day to quickly get it, and then it was to clean up all the remnants of Wang Zhen, while discussing how to deal with the battle?

The newly enthroned Emperor Jing'an knew that he was not capable enough, so he fully delegated power to those trustworthy officials.

The battle to defend the capital officially kicked off.

A lot of things happened in the process, and a lot of singing and crying characters were born, among which Yu Shaobao, the secretary of the military department at that time, was the most prominent, and he could be called the core of the soul of the entire capital defense war, the hand that held the sky.

The final result, of course, was successful, not only keeping the capital, but also counterattacking all the way to knock the Beiban out of the pass.

After the two sides negotiated peace, Emperor Taikang, who had become the emperor, was directly sent back by the Beiban, after all, the value of a emperor is really not much, rather than keeping it, you have to give him food to avoid him from dying, and the two sides will fight again.

It's better to send it back.

Maybe it will make this Emperor Taishang and Emperor Jing'an fight again, and consume the national strength of the Min Kingdom more!

In fact, according to the thoughts of many ministers and nobles, then the Emperor Taishang should not be brought back, or even if he is taken back, he can arrange a little accident for the Emperor Taishang on the way, so that he can die. However, Emperor Jing'an always remembered the brotherly love, and did not have a very clear intention to kill the emperor, plus there was also the queen mother's party, and some officials who were sincerely devoted to the emperor were desperately protecting.

In the end, the Emperor Taishang came back safely.

It is located in the North Palace.

was protected by Empress Dowager Sun.

Not long after he ascended the throne, the queen didn't even get the phoenix seal in his hands Emperor Jing'an, the power in the harem was far inferior to that of the Empress Dowager Sun, and he really didn't have the idea of killing Emperor Taikang, so in the end, at the suggestion of the ministers and nobles, Emperor Taikang was forbidden to contact officials.

It is equivalent to putting him under house arrest in the harem, and he is not allowed to contact the foreign ministers, but it is actually useless, his mother Empress Dowager Sun can contact the foreign ministers, it is nothing more than that the contact process needs to be done through the Empress Dowager Sun.

It's just that at this time, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and even the people of the city were very disgusted with Emperor Taikang.

On the contrary, he regarded Emperor Jing An as the holy lord of the Ming monarch.

He is the king of Zhongxing of the Damin Dynasty.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Sun and Emperor Taikang's mother and son didn't dare to be any demons, so they could only stay honestly.

As for the focus of Qu Jie's concern, Wanqu Hou.

Naturally, it is closely related to this matter.

Liu Yu, the father of Liu Taiyu, the current Marquis of Wanqu, died in the war when Emperor Taikang was captured, his father died in battle, and even the body could not be recovered After the news came, his mother died in less than half a year because she couldn't stand the stimulation, and she fell seriously ill and died in less than half a year.

If it weren't for the ideological edification of loyalty and patriotism, he would have regarded Emperor Taikang as an enemy who killed his father and mother.

After that, whether it was to push Emperor Jing An to the throne.

still threatened to abolish the emperor, and Liu Taiyu participated.

At first, when Emperor Tai Kangdi knocked on the door and asked the guards to open the door and let him and the Beiban enter the customs, Empress Dowager Sun asked all those who knew that they must keep it secret, because she knew that the news would inevitably cause public resentment, and she knew that her son's operation was not a thing, not a person.

is even less worthy of being a king.

But after all, he is his own son, so he can only protect it.

Then, Liu Taiyu and some noble ministers who were dissatisfied with this privately ordered people to spread the relevant news, otherwise the people would know so quickly!

In the ensuing battle to defend the capital, Liu Taiyu was even more clothed in linen and filial piety, and took all the private soldiers and capable servants of the family to participate in the guard battle.

And also killed a lot of enemies.

can barely be regarded as avenging his father.

However, after all, the ability is not very good, and the credit is not particularly great, so when the merit is rewarded afterwards, the title has not been promoted, but the title accumulated by the original previous generations has not been reduced for five generations, and it is specially allowed to continue for three generations, that is, it will become the title of eight generations without descending.

In the Min Dynasty, except for a few hereditary princes and marquises, the rest of the titles are mainly divided into two types, one is to be demoted to the throne, and the other is a generation of lords.

A generation of lords is very easy to understand, that is, this title cannot be passed on, and when a person dies, the title is gone, and many civil officials who have been rewarded are basically this type of title.

The Marquis of Wanqu belongs to the kind of degraded lord.

Fathers pass on to sons need to be demoted to a knighthood.

However, if they have made meritorious service, but this merit is not enough to promote the marquis, not enough to say that the marquis has been promoted to the prince of the country, then they will be allowed to have one or two more generations without being demoted, that is to say, this generation of fathers will pass on their sons.

Still a marquis.

Theoretically, if each generation can make meritorious contributions.

It is basically not inferior to the hereditary title.

However, very few families can produce from generation to generation, and most of them are passed down from generation to generation, and the title of degraded lord is gone.

The inheritance of the descendants of the Wanqu Hou family is not bad, the previous generations have made meritorious contributions, and they have saved the honor of five generations without having to be demoted, although Liu Taiyu is the first

Five generations of Marquis Wanqu, but until he passed the title four times, so even without this credit, his son can inherit the marquis, and when his grandson's generation, he will be demoted to an earl.

And his operation is for his grandson

But in any case, he is definitely a nobleman who belongs to the faction of Emperor Jing'an, and he is also one of the nobles who support Emperor Jing'an, a few days Emperor Zhan An was seriously ill, Empress Dowager Sun united with Emperor Taikang, and some officials who supported Emperor Taikang, successfully rebelled, in Emperor Taikang's own words, it was a successful restoration, and imprisoned Emperor Jing'an to ascend the throne again.

Then, of course, Taikangdi liquidated the dissidents.

The house was raided, not to mention the Wanquhou family.

Even the current cabinet chief assistant Shaobao, including most of the heroes and nobles in the defense of the capital, and even some officials who killed Wang Zhenyu's sins, were all raided.
