Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 17 Chapter 17, Although there are hidden dangers in retreating the Chuang army, Cihong Miansheng wants to change generals

Seeing this scene, Chongzhen was also moved with emotion.

It turns out that the only one who is really reliable is my son?

Chongzhen coughed and said slowly: "Okay, Zhuqing, today's court meeting will end here. After you go back, remember to appease the hearts of the people, and prepare young and strong to guard the city wall at any time. You must not let Li Zicheng's thieves attack you." Come in, do you understand?"

Regarding Chongzhen's words, all the ministers naturally responded one after another.

It's just that compared with before, the sound this time is obviously much louder.

This is mainly because everyone has hope in their hearts.

After Wei Zaode heard this sentence, he felt as if he had been pardoned, and left in a hurry after saluting.

Being slapped in the face by a 15-year-old prince is not a good feeling.

After the ministers left, only Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong were left in the hall.

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cihuang, with a smile on his lips: "Ah, your performance this time is very good. In the future, I will be relieved to entrust you with the power of Ming Dynasty."

Chongzhen spoke the truth from the heart.

You must know that when Chongzhen was 15 years old, he was just an insignificant and ordinary prince, staying in his own Prince Xin's Mansion with nothing to do.

Zhu Cihong was also 15 years old, but he was able to climb to the top of the city of Beijing, kill the Chuangjun general Liu Zongmin, and defeat the Chuangjun attacking the city, which is not too much beyond Chongzhen.

Zhu Cihong arched his hands and said: "Father, you are serious. To do things for Ming Dynasty is originally the duty of a son-in-law."

Although Zhu Cihong's thoughts and actions are dominated by the personality of the modern traveler, after all, it also incorporates Zhu Cihong's memory from the original world, so Zhu Cihong's impression of Chongzhen, the cheap father, is actually not bad.

To put it bluntly, Chongzhen is just a lack of ability, he is indeed a good person.

Chongzhen smiled, and suddenly said: "Lang'er, since you have already climbed the city wall, tell me the truth, can this Beijing city be defended?"

When speaking, Chongzhen's face was full of hope, but also a little uneasy.

Zhu Cilang laughed, and said decisively: "Father, please rest assured, it is absolutely impossible for this Beijing city to be occupied by Li Zicheng!"

Do you really think that Bengong's system cheating is for nothing?
Chongzhen has actually asked many people this question, and most of them gave the same answer as Zhu Cihong.

But for some reason, after hearing Zhu Cihong's answer, Chongzhen still heaved a sigh of relief, and his tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed a lot.

After all, the words of my own son are the most reliable.

But immediately, Zhu Cihong said again: "Father, forgive me for speaking bluntly. After today's battle, I feel that the defense system in the capital is too chaotic. If this continues, maybe Li Zicheng really has something to offer." Here's the chance."

When Chongzhen heard this, the heart that had just been let go immediately lifted up again, and he hurriedly said: "What is the specific situation, let me tell you."

After what happened today, Chongzhen obviously attached great importance to Zhu Cihong's opinion.

Zhu Cihong obviously had already thought about it long ago, and talked eloquently: "Admirals like Cao Huachun don't understand military affairs at all, and they just command blindly there. Cao Huachun hid and didn't know where he went.

If Cao Huachun and his like are allowed to continue to control the military power, there will definitely be big problems.The minister believes that the military power of Cao Huachun and others should be removed immediately, and the generals who really understand military affairs should guard the city. This is the best policy! "

As a traverser, Zhu Cihong was very aware of the actions of Cao Huachun and his group of surrenderers, so after getting the opportunity, he immediately asked Chongzhen to replace Cao Huachun, and not give Cao Huachun a chance to surrender!
After Chongzhen listened, he hesitated.

Zhu Cilang knew that Chongzhen's indecisive character had started again, so he immediately continued to apply a wave of eye medicine: "Father, have you forgotten Du Xun who is showing off his power in this hall today? This Du Xun was also the chief eunuch in the palace before. , and Cao Huachun, Wang Huamin and the like are considered good friends. If Cao Huachun and Wang Huamin also want to be Du Xun once, then Daming is over!"

This sentence directly shocked Chongzhen's body.

After a while, Chongzhen sighed, and said slowly: "Longer, in fact, I don't know that these eunuchs are unreliable? But think about it, the robbers invaded all the way this year, and countless ministers and civil officials from all over the country surrendered. To these ministers, the eunuchs like Du Xun are not worth mentioning.

Even now, you asked me to find a few ministers who are truly loyal to Daming and would never surrender to Li Zicheng among the courtiers, but I... can't find them! "

Yes, this is the embarrassment of Chongzhen, and it is also the sin of Chongzhen himself.

Chongzhen was too suspicious, too impatient, and too fond of replacing officials at will. He was the most suspicious of all emperors in the Ming Dynasty.

After Li Zicheng's soldiers came to the city, Chongzhen's suspicion had reached its peak, so there was an outrageous order to let Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen and other eunuchs control the military power, and to prohibit all ministers from going to the city to check military affairs.

It's not that Chongzhen is not worried about eunuchs surrendering, but he feels that the lesser of two evils, eunuchs are more reliable than ministers and officials!
Looking at the frowning Chongzhen, Zhu Cihong smiled: "Father, my ministers can recommend a few officials. These officials are absolutely loyal to Daming and are willing to fight to the last moment for Daming."

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said: "Who are these officials?"

Zhu Cihong said in a deep voice: "The British Duke Zhang Shize and the Ministry of War's right servant Wang Jiayan can take charge of military affairs. The Minister of the Household Department Fan Jingwen, the Zuodu Censor Li Banghua, the Zuodu Deputy Censor Shi Bangyao and others, my father can let them help stabilize the situation. The internal situation in the capital calms the hearts of the people.

The sons and ministers can guarantee with their lives, these ministers are all loyal people, and there is absolutely no possibility of surrender!As long as the father can let these people come to power, then the capital city of Daming will definitely be able to survive! "

The people mentioned by Zhu Cihong are actually people recorded in history books. After the city of Beijing was broken, these people either died in battle or committed suicide. There is absolutely nothing to say about their loyalty.

Now that Li Zicheng is besieging the city of Beijing, and people's hearts are fluctuating, what Zhu Cihong needs are these loyal ministers to stabilize the situation in the city and not give those surrendering factions a chance.

Moreover, there are tens of 10 people in such a huge city of Beijing, and all kinds of comforting things also need someone to help. It is impossible for Zhu Cihong to run around to get these things done by himself, right?
As for whether these people are capable enough, Zhu Cihong is not worried, as long as they are not too stupid, after all, they are just to appease the hearts of the people, and this is not a difficult task. It is impossible to say a few nice words.

As long as these loyal courtiers can help Zhu Cihong stabilize the interior of Beijing, then Zhu Cihong can use the power of his own system to bring the situation back step by step!

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong cast his eyes on Chongzhen who was still a little hesitant, and said in a deep voice: "Father, my son is taking the liberty to say something disrespectful here today, this country is father's country, and it is my son's future. Now that things are going on, will Erchen do anything that is not good for Daming Jiangshan?

For the sake of the future of Daming, please trust your son once today, so that Daming can have the last hope! "

At this moment, Zhu Cihong hoped that Chongzhen would not make a wrong decision!

Chongzhen did not hesitate for too long this time.

Only half a minute later, Chongzhen took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Forget it, it's up to now... let's do it this way! Wang Chengen, you heard what the prince said, immediately draft an order for me, and follow the prince's order." Let's arrange it."
