As soon as the prince entered the palace, he walked a few steps closer to Chongzhen, knelt down and sobbed softly.
Chongzhen, who was looking through the menu in Wang Chengen's hand, frowned, secretly wondering what had happened to the child today, "What wrong has my son suffered?"
"What a huge grievance!" Zhu Cixiang's voice was not loud, but tears were streaming down his face.
Seeing his expression, Chongzhen's brows tightened, and he felt a little fond in his heart. The prince had always been well-behaved and sensible, which pleased him very much: "My son, you might as well tell me. I would like to know why your grievance is so great. Say
Come out and I will make the decision for you."
"Father, please shield the left and right," Zhu Cixiang said suddenly, making Chongzhen and Wang Chengen a little confused.
If we say who was the most trusted person in the late period of Emperor Chongzhen, there were only three or five people besides his family, and Wang Chengen was the most trusted.
It seemed that there was something very secret. They both thought so, and Wang Chengen took the initiative to leave before Chongzhen could speak.
"My son can speak now." When Chongzhen saw Wang Chengen going out, he stood up and walked to him and stretched out his hand to help him up.
"Father, make atonement. The child had a very bad dream." Zhu Cixiang refused to get up. When Chongzhen heard that he just had a nightmare, he couldn't help but laugh a little. He felt that this child really didn't care about the importance of the child. He had a dream and still came to disturb him.
I am quiet.
"You get up first, I will atone for your innocence." Chongzhen waved his hand and turned to sit down, only to see Zhu Cixiang still kneeling on the ground.
"This dream is related to the fate of our country, the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Cixiang wiped his tears: "Three days ago, my child dreamed of a thief proclaiming himself emperor in Xi'an..."
When this matter was mentioned, Chongzhen became angry, but facing his beloved son, he had no reason to get angry. He just said lightly: "Yes, that thief dared to falsely claim to be a false emperor... What did you just say!"
Chongzhen stood up awkwardly: "Three days ago? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"My child, I only thought it was a nightmare, but I didn't expect it to come true today. I'm really scared," the prince quickly kowtowed and cried.
Chongzhen slowly sat down: "It's just a nightmare, maybe it's just a coincidence. What's wrong with my son? Get up!"
"Father"
Zhu Cixiang suddenly cried loudly and mournfully: "This dream is very long. I dreamed that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed..."
The prince's cry of grief made the eunuch on duty outside the palace couldn't help but be startled. He didn't know what was happening inside, especially Wang Chengen's brows were squeezed into a canyon.
Only Chang Yu looked calm and stood in the corridor looking indifferent.
Yes, this was the plan he could come up with. Chongzhen would not believe it if others whispered it. If he believed it, he would be killed by the courtiers. The most important thing is that he knew that the court was too disgusting and the water was too deep and smelled bad to him.
Don't want to get involved.
What's more, he knows that those words may not change the overall situation, so why take the risk and go to the smelly river.
But using the crown prince's hand is different. The love between father and son is deep. First of all, it is easier for Chongzhen to believe this kind of thing, and secondly, the risk is small. As for what Chongzhen did after hearing those words, and whether doing so can change some patterns, that is more
It's not something he can control anymore, and of course he hopes to develop in a good direction.
In the Yangxin Hall, Chongzhen stood up again and looked at the prince who was kneeling on the ground in pain with a horrified expression: "You, you, you just said..."
"Father, I saw a lot in my dream. When I was about to wake up, a White Weng Immortal told me that this was a secret that must not be revealed. But how dare I hide it from my father?" Zhu Cixiang said, taking out a folded sheet from his arms.
Paper: "The child has written down some important events he saw in his dream on this paper. Father, you may wish to take a look at them first. Some of them can be verified soon to be true or false."
Chongzhen was completely dumbfounded. Hearing what the prince said, he quickly walked over to him and took out the piece of paper. There were tears on it and the handwriting was a bit sloppy, but the content was eye-catching and heartbreaking: January 8 (actually, January 1)
The Japanese) bandits changed Xi'an to Xijing, the country was named Dashun, and the reign was Yongchang... On the day he proclaimed himself emperor, the Japanese army divided into two groups and marched eastward... The main force was led by the bandits himself, forty thousand (known as one million) troops. The route was from
The vanguard of the attack from southwestern Shanxi to the north, led by the bandit general Liu Fangliang, actually numbered 20,000 and was said to be 500,000. They marched along the north bank of the Yellow River, from southern Shanxi to northern Henan and entered southern Beizhili. They went north to capture the prefectures of Daming, Hejian and Baoding.
Cut off the Ming court's escape route south.
Arriving at Pingyang Prefecture on the 23rd, the prefect Zhang Linran presented the city...
Chang Yu's memory is limited. Although he has a relatively deep memory of this period of history, he can only remember the general outline. Even this has made the prince Zhu Cixi cry all afternoon and makes Chongzhen feel shocked now.
Because this is a rough memory for Chang Yu, but it is too detailed for him. One day, the rebel army arrived in a certain city. Who resisted to the death, who offered the city to surrender, and who abandoned the city and fled, all are vividly remembered.
.
Shaking, Chongzhen's hands were shaking violently, his body was swaying, and his eyes were red: "Are you sure you had a dream?"
"yes"
Zhu Cihong kowtowed: "Father, do you know that the traitor army has sent troops to march eastward? Why is it that only the traitor proclaimed himself emperor was sent from outside the palace, but there was no news of sending troops?"
Yes, why? Did he not get the news yet, or was the news on the way, or was he being deceived by his superiors and concealed from his subordinates... Chongzhen sat limply on the dragon chair.
There was no more sound coming from the Yangxin Hall. Wang Chengen walked around anxiously like an ant. He finally knocked on the door to ask for food, but was scolded: Get out!
No one knows what happened inside, not even Chang Yu.
It was not until after 11 o'clock in the evening that a greeting came from inside. Wang Chengen went in and quickly came out to ask the eunuchs to bring some hot food. After that, he immediately summoned several eunuchs: Gong Yonggu, the consort, Li Banghua, the censor of the left capital, Li Mingrui, the worker in the east palace.
Fan Jingwen, Minister of the Ministry, Ling Yiqu, Minister of Dali Temple, and more than ten officials immediately entered the palace to meet the saint.
Chang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the love between father and son was still deep. Chongzhen at least believed in Zhu Cihong. This was evident from the fact that he summoned these officials overnight, because these officials all committed suicide with him after his death. Naturally, these names on the list were those of Chang Yu.
Although I can’t say how capable these people are, at least they have loyalty!
I've said what needs to be said, it's up to you how to do it. I've tried my best. Chang Yu took a long breath. Whether I can stop the storm depends on what Chongzhen does next and what step he can take.
As for himself, he can't help at all now. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he doesn't have the ability. Not to mention that it's impossible to get to the front of the curtain. Even if Chongzhen trusts him, what can he do if he gives him an official position? Lead the army in the war?
It's nonsense. Let's not talk about whether he has the ability to command operations. The second question is, did he command those officers and soldiers?
The answer is yes...no!
Have you ever seen how the soldiers behaved in battle in the late Ming Dynasty? Whether they were marching or defending the city in preparation for war, they would always lie down on the ground. The supervisor whipped one of them up, and this one got up and the other got down again. How to lead such soldiers?
beat.
The most exaggerated statement is that when the rebel army came to the city of Beijing, the emperor's three battalions of personal guards were guarding the city and preparing to bombard the city. The rebel army yelled at the city: How dare you bomb into the city and kill your whole family...
The emperor's most trusted soldiers were so frightened that they did not dare to fire cannons, and even loaded blank ammunition. If they had no choice but to load live ammunition, they quickly notified the rebel soldiers in the city to give way and fired a few cannons into the open space as a show.
To put it simply, he is temporarily unable to lead troops, let alone this kind of troops. At this time, the Ming Dynasty is already rotten to the core, unless gods come down to earth, and Chang Yu is just a little eunuch who can fight.
After all calculations, Chang Yu never calculated that in order to cheer up the prince and take a look at Chongzhen, he would stand outside the Yangxin Palace in the ice and snow and freeze like a dog. If that was all, what happened next would be shocking.
He regretted it endlessly.
