Under the escort of Zhou Shixian personally led a group of Jinyiwei, Empress Zhou, supported by Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen and Princess Kunxing, and Princess Zhaoren, soon arrived outside the hall. Three soft sedan chairs had already been parked here.

Before this, Zhou Shixian naturally had to ask about the whereabouts of the Crown Prince Zhu Cilang, otherwise, as a subject, he would be unfaithful and unfaithful.

This is also his loyalty to Chongzhen. The suspicion of this last emperor of the Ming Dynasty was "remained in history". However, when he went south to rebuild the Ming court and stabilize the situation in the south, he also needed this serious Ming emperor to do so.

This is the fastest way to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan, clean up the court, and prepare for war. Therefore, Zhou Shixian must gain the full trust of Emperor Chongzhen.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was filled with regret and regret. If he knew that Zhou Shixian had such a trick, he would not have handed his son to Zhu Chunchen and Wang Zhixin.

But now it is too late to think about this again. Naturally, he could not issue another order to ask Zhou Shixian to find Zhu Cilang. He could only pray in his heart that his son could escape from danger.

After Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Zhou, and the two princesses had already been in the sedan chair, Zhou Shixian turned his head and looked at Wang Chengen, who was now full of energy, and said politely:

"Eunuch Wang, please quickly bring all necessary items such as jade seals, imperial pens, cinnabar, etc. We will go south all the way, and these imperial objects may be useful."

Wang Chengen was an insidious minister around Emperor Chongzhen, so Zhou Shixian naturally wanted to win over. With this line, many things will be easier to handle in the future. As the saying goes, "The King of Hell is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult to deal with." Zhou Shixian naturally understood this truth.

"Don't worry, my husband, let's go now!" Wang Chengen responded immediately, then took a small step and limped into the depths of the hall.

It seems that the kick just now was still injured, but this prince is not a delicate person, and he is much stronger than those noble and civil servants.

Dozens of Jinyiwei rode high-headed horses to open the road. The three-headed sedan chairs were carried by twenty-four strong soldiers. Nearly a hundred fully armed cavalry guarded them, and rushed out from the Forbidden City toward the south.

Zhou Shixian had already asked someone to put cotton cloth on the four hooves of each war horse. Although hundreds of horses were galloping, there was almost no sound.

The group of people quickly left the Forbidden City, where Zhou Shixian prepared two carriages. The emperor and the empress immediately abandoned the sedan chair and got on the car. The streets along the way had long been cleaned up by dozens of cavalry sent by Zhou Shixian. The team headed straight for Chongwenmen without any obstacles.

All the people and four ministers in the Ten Kings' Mansion were already gathering outside the Chongwen Gate, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Chongzhen's sage.

The army of guards gathered here, and Li Banghua, Ni Yuanlu, Wu Linzheng, Tang Ruowang and other ministers were waiting for a long time. Emperor Chongzhen must have gotten out of the car and showed up to boost morale.

Under Wang Chengen's service, Emperor Chongzhen lifted the curtain of the carriage and poked out half of his body. Seeing this, the soldiers and soldiers, led by Zhou Shixian, knelt down on one knee and saluted the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the power of the emperor, and in addition to the reward of military pay, it is one of the most important factors that keep this army overcoming difficulties and obstacles and protecting Chongzhen's southward journey.

In the seventeenth century, the emperor's authority still had a very strong appeal, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty was in the south, and there was still half of the country.

Chongzhen was not cowardly at this time. His tone was calm, his voice calmed down, and he promised various promotions and rewards after going south. Then he announced that the army would continue to operate, and the power of the emperor was fully displayed.

In fact, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen was also very moved. A few quarters of an hour ago, he was still in a desperate situation, so he could not imagine that Zhou Shixian would suddenly appear. In just a moment, he returned to this position of being the only one in the world.

This time he went south, the only thing he could rely on was the prince consort in front of him, the hundreds of soldiers. Therefore, even Emperor Chongzhen did not dare to neglect these "Qiu Ba people" at all.

"Shixian, you will decide the military and horse marching in the future. You don't have to ask me anymore!" I wonder if the stimulation I was too great tonight, but Emperor Chongzhen changed his temper to interfere in everything before.

"I will receive the order!" Zhou Shixian bowed his hand and then immediately stood up, turned over the horse, shouted at the soldiers behind him: "The whole army obeys the order, set off and go to Zuoanmen!"

The southeast of the capital is the weakest place for the Shun Army to attack and siege. Zhou Shixian had sent people out of the city before and confirmed that Zuoanmen was not controlled by the Shun Army. There were only dozens of Shun Army guarding the gate outside the city, so he finally decided to break through from this direction.

Li Banghua, Ni Yuanlu, Wu Zhenglin and Tang Ruowang immediately got on the other two carriages. Behind them, there were more than 20 black-topped carriages carrying gold, silver and grains. They followed.

After Chau Wang got into the carriage, he felt excited. After meeting Emperor Chongzhen, he finally confirmed Zhou Shixian's ability.

Of course, the old fox, Joshua Tsang, saw the trick, but he didn't think there was anything, but it could better illustrate the ability and the old wise man of this young prince consort.

In fact, it was not just Zhuo Wang who was excited at this time? The two old men Li Banghua and Ni Yuanlu were now crowding together, lifting the curtain of the carriage, poking their heads out to peek at Zhou Shixian's back, and full of curiosity and admiration for the young prince-consort.

Li Banghua originally did not believe in Zhou Shixian, and he was even more disdainful of his so-called "one to ten". He only felt that this was a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger. When he kicked the stone, he naturally knew that it was a pain.

But now after seeing Emperor Chongzhen and seeing these more than 300 fully armed and banned soldiers, he felt incredible.

This is not a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, it is impossible to do it, but to plan and then move!

Not only these ministers, but also Emperor Chongzhen, at this time, it was just to maintain the emperor's majesty and to endure the curiosity in his heart.

He was also very excited at this moment, but many questions arose at the same time.

"This child is really too deep. He has never noticed that he has such ability before." Emperor Chongzhen muttered in his heart.

That day, Chongzhen did not even let Zhou Shixian speak. In fact, he did not summon Zhou Shixian at first, because Gong Yonggu and Liu Wenbing brought the people.

The Sheng Driving Convoy soon approached Zuo'anmen. Although it had not been attacked by the Shun Army, the garrison at the city gate had already fled, and there was no order at all.

"Xue Lao Er, go and open the city gate!" Zhou Shixian stopped the horse under his crotch and immediately ordered.

When Xue Laoer got the order, he immediately dismounted and rushed to the city gate with Zhang Hong, with more than 20 Jinyiwei and soldiers.

In the rear of the Sheng Driving Convoy, the voices of the pursuers of the Shun Army were getting closer and closer.
