17. Although there are hidden dangers in the retreat of the army, the sage of the face wants to chan
Chongzhen was also moved when he looked at this scene.
It turns out that the only one who is truly reliable is my son?
Chongzhen coughed and said slowly, "Okay, my good friends, today's court meeting is here. After you go back, remember to appease the people and prepare for the young and strong to guard the city wall at any time. Don't let Li Zicheng's thief army attack in. Do you understand?"
As for Chongzhen's words, the ministers naturally agreed.
However, compared to before, the sound this time was significantly louder.
This is mainly because everyone has hope in their hearts.
After hearing this, Wei Zaode felt like he was amnesty and left hurriedly after the salute.
It feels bad to be slapped in the face by a 15-year-old prince.
After the ministers left, only Chongzhen and Zhu Cilang were left in the hall.
Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cilang and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Yan'er, your performance this time is very good. I'm relieved to leave the Ming Dynasty to you in the future."
What Chongzhen said was the truth from the heart.
You should know that when Chongzhen was fifteen years old, he was just an insignificant ordinary prince, staying in his own palace of King Xin to do nothing.
Zhu Cilang is also fifteen years old, but he can already climb to the top of Beijing, kill Liu Zongmin, the general of the Breaking Army, and defeat the siege of the Breaking Army, which is simply not too much beyond Chongzhen.
Zhu Cilang bowed and said, "The father is so serious. Doing things for the Ming Dynasty is the duty of a son minister."
Although the person who dominated Zhu Cilang's thoughts and actions was the personality of a time traveler from the modern time traveler, it also integrated Zhu Cilang's memory from the original world, so Zhu Cilang's heart's impression of Chongzhen, the cheap father, was actually quite good.
To put it bluntly, Chongzhen was just a lack of ability and a good person is indeed a good person.
Chongzhen smiled and suddenly said, "Yan'er, since you have already stepped on the city wall, tell me the truth, can this Beijing city be defended?"
When he spoke, Chongzhen's face was filled with hope and a little nervous.
Zhu Cilang laughed and said firmly: "Don't worry, father, this Beijing city is absolutely impossible to be occupied by Li Zicheng!"
Do you really think that the system plug-in of this palace is in vain?
Chongzhen has actually asked many people this question, and most of them have given the same answers as Zhu Cixuan.
But for some reason, after hearing Zhu Cilang's answer, Chongzhen still breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed a lot.
After all, it is the most reliable thing for the biological son.
But immediately, Zhu Cixuan said again: "Father, Shu Erchen said frankly that after the battle today, Erchen felt that the defense system in the capital was too chaotic. If this continues, Li Zicheng might have a chance."
When Chongzhen heard this, the heart that had just been relieved immediately raised and said quickly: "What is the specific situation? Tell me what it is."
Zhu Cilang had obviously thought about it for a long time and talked: "Admirals like Cao Huachun do not understand military affairs at all, and they just commanded blindly. When the rebel army came, the son-in-law brought Wang Chengen to fight bloody battles on the city wall, but Cao Huachun hid and went there.
If Cao Huachun and others continue to control the military power, there will definitely be a big problem. The minister believes that the military power of Cao Huachun and others should be immediately lifted, and the generals who truly understand military affairs should be allowed to guard the city. This is the best strategy!”
As a time traveler, Zhu Cilang was very clear about the behavior of Cao Huachun and his surrendered people, so after getting the opportunity, he immediately asked Chongzhen to replace Cao Huachun and not give Cao Huachun the opportunity to surrender to the enemy!
After listening to it, Chongzhen suddenly hesitated.
Zhu Ciyang knew that Chongzhen's indecisive personality had begun again, so he immediately continued to look at the eye: "Did your father forget Du Xun who showed off his might in this hall today? Du Xun was also a big eunuch in the palace before, and he was also familiar with Cao Huachun, Wang Huamin and others. If Cao Huachun and Wang Huamin also wanted to be Du Xun once, then the Ming Dynasty would be over!"
This sentence shocked Chongzhen's body directly.
After a moment, Chongzhen sighed and said slowly: "Yan'er, actually, I don't know that these eunuchs are unreliable? But think about it, the thieves invaded all the way this year, and the ministers and civil servants from all over the country surrendered countless times. Compared with these ministers, Du Xun and other eunuchs are not worthy of justice.
Even now, if you ask me to find some ministers among the ministers in this palace who are truly loyal to the Ming Dynasty and will never surrender to Li Zicheng, I... can't find them!"
Yes, this is Chongzhen’s embarrassment, and it is also the evil that Chongzhen himself committed.
Chongzhen was too suspicious, too impatient, and too fond of replacing officials at will. His suspicion was the crime of emperors of the Ming Dynasty.
After Li Zicheng was at the city, Chongzhen's suspicion had already reached its peak, so there was an outrageous order to let eunuchs such as Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen take control of military power and prohibit all ministers from going to the city to check military affairs.
Chongzhen was not worried about the eunuchs surrendering, but he felt that the two evils were the least, and eunuchs were more reliable than ministers and officials!
Looking at the sad face, Zhu Cilang smiled: "Father, my son can recommend a few officials. These officials are absolutely loyal to the Ming Dynasty and are willing to fight to the last moment for the Ming Dynasty."
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously spoke: "Who are these officials?"
Zhu Cilang said in a deep voice: "British Duke Zhang Shize, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Jiayan, can be in charge of military affairs. The Minister of Revenue Fan Jingwen, the left censor Li Banghua, the left censor Shi Bangyao and others, the father can help them stabilize the internal situation in the capital and appease the hearts of the people.
Children can guarantee their lives. These ministers are loyal people and there is no possibility of surrender! As long as the father can make these people take power, the capital of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be defended!"
The people mentioned by Zhu Cixuan are actually all characters recorded in history books. After the city of Beijing was destroyed, these people either died in battle or committed suicide to their country. They had absolutely nothing to say about their loyalty.
Now that Li Zicheng is surrounding Beijing, people are volatile, what Zhu Cilang needs is these loyal ministers to stabilize the situation in the city and not give those surrender opportunities.
Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the huge Beijing city, and there are also people who need help to comfort people's hearts. It is impossible for Zhu Cixuan to run around and solve these things alone, right?
As for whether these people have enough abilities, Zhu Cilang is not worried.
As long as these loyal ministers can help Zhu Ciyang stabilize the interior of Beijing, Zhu Ciyang can use the power of his system to move the situation back step by step!
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Cilang looked at Chongzhen, who was still hesitant, and said in a deep voice: "Father, I will say something very disrespectful here today. This country is the country of my father, and it is also the country of my future. At this point, will my minister do anything that is unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty?
I would also like to ask my father to trust my sons once today for the future of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the Ming Dynasty will have the last hope!”
At this moment, Zhu Cilang hoped that Chongzhen would not make a wrong decision!
Chongzhen did not hesitate for too long this time.
Just half a minute later, Chongzhen took a deep breath and said slowly: "Forget it, the matter has come to this point... let's do it! Wang Chengen, you have heard what the prince said, draft an order for me immediately, and arrange it according to the prince's wishes."
