Chapter 14?? Crux

Just after Chen Shi, Zhu Cilang came to Kunning Palace to pay tribute to Empress Zhou, and also said goodbye to Empress Zhou.

The list brought out by Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was in his hands, but these hundred Jinyiwei did not follow him to Duan Ben Palace immediately, and Yang Wencong, the doctor of the Ministry of War, did not come to Duan Ben Palace to report. As for the shadow of King Yong Zhu Cixuan, who was not seen, all this shows that the father or the court did not prepare for him to go to Nanjing.

This was the most worrying thing Zhu Cilang was about. During the morning court, he planned to make a request to ask his father to issue an order and go to Nanjing to supervise the country to inform the world. In this way, he made a legitimate statement to go to Nanjing. However, his father's expression was not very good at that time. Zhu Cilang probably couldn't achieve his goal, so he simply did not mention it.

If these problems are not resolved, there will be huge hidden dangers in Zhu Cixuan's trip to Nanjing to supervise the country, and this escape plan cannot be perfectly implemented.

It is meaningless to go directly to Wenyuan Pavilion to ask his father, but it may be a bad thing. Of course, Zhu Cilang was also prepared for the worst and dispatched 100 Jinyiwei on the list to leave the capital early tomorrow morning to Nanjing. As long as he could leave the capital, he could find a way to deal with it no matter how much trouble he encountered along the way.

Empress Zhou was in Kunning Palace, and after Zhu Cilang paid a visit, he stood there solemnly.

"Imperial son, I just heard that you don't plan to carry a lot of items when you go to Nanjing. This is not OK."

Zhu Cilang, who traveled through time, trusted the most is his mother, Empress Zhou, so he would not hide too much or be wary in front of Empress Zhou. If he encountered difficulties, he would ask Empress Zhou to help solve it without hesitation.

"My mother, my child will go to Nanjing tomorrow. There are two things that I have never been worried about. As for the items I carry, there is indeed not much. Some items can be purchased in Nanjing."

Queen Zhou nodded and looked at Zhu Cilang.

"There is something that the emperor is worried about. Even if it is said, it's strange. These days, I have been thinking about the emperor's fall from his horse. The emperor has been in a coma for three days. After waking up, the change has been too great. I can't figure it out."

"The emperor used to attend morning courts and never spoke. He was polite and respectful to the adults in the court, and would not violate the emperor's words. He always did what the emperor said."

"The emperor has become a little cold to people. I am a little worried about whether the emperor's health is still ill, and whether I want Doctor Xuan to come and take a look."

Zhu Cilang's body trembled slightly. If his body had not recovered, how could he run to Nanjing for a long distance? If his father and mother believed that there was something wrong with their minds, they would be even more unable to leave the capital.

Without any hesitation, Zhu Cilang bowed to Queen Zhou and spoke.

"My mother, the child has indeed changed a little, and has become more decisive and bold. In the past, the child wanted to study hard and gain knowledge. He rarely considered matters in the court. The child thought that the father and the emperor had no need to talk too much about the matters in the court."

"The thief proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an. The Later Jin Tartars were eyeing the north. Famines were constantly occurring in various places, and the people were unable to feed themselves. The court encountered a huge crisis. In this case, the father worked hard and could not sleep at night. However, the adults in the court thought of their own interests and had never thought of working together to resolve the huge crisis of the court. The children really couldn't stand it."

"The child cannot share his father's worries in the court, and he must also watch those ministers use the so-called ancestral system to prevent the father from using thunder means to resolve the crisis. After all, these ministers are all trying to protect their own interests. As for the crisis encountered by our Ming Dynasty, it is the Zhu family's business, the emperor's consideration, and it has nothing to do with them."

"I paid a visit to my father yesterday and said something. I said that if the country could not be preserved, the ministers in the court would be in vain and settle for the thief or the Later Jin Tartars, and they would be officials and survive, but what should I do if my father and mother?"

"It is not possible to share the worries of the father. This is the child's unfilial piety and cannot continue like this. So the child thinks that what the father cannot say, the child will do what the father cannot do directly."

"The child suggested that Chacha Bingkei's agent, Nakam Toyoshi, warns the adults in the court not to think that their father doesn't know everything they do, and do not think that as officials in the court, the father will let them go."

"Guang Shiheng is just a seventh-rank military officer. Nearly one million taels of silver were found in the mansion. Yesterday, the child saw the silver donated by Guang Shiheng, which was only one hundred taels. This is not something that a minister can do. It is even more hateful than a thief."

"How many such ministers in the court are there? Is Kurashihiro the only one? The child absolutely doesn't believe it."

"I thought so when I went to Nanjing. The situation in the south is better than that in the north. After I arrived in Nanjing, I must show thunderous means, gather the troops and financial resources of the south, and rush to the north. If the officials and generals of the south are deceived and concealed, the children will never show mercy. But I want to see how hard their heads are."

"The father is kind and it is not easy to do such things, so I let the child do it. The situation in the capital is critical and it is still necessary to be stable at the moment. The things that the child thinks cannot be done, so the child goes to Nanjing to do it. The child thinks that when the things that the child does in Nanjing are spread to the capital, the ministers in the court should think carefully."

"The child is not afraid of anything. As long as he can share his father's worries and resolve the current crisis, he will not care no matter how much suffering he suffers."

Queen Zhou sighed softly.

"What the emperor talks about is the major affairs of the court. I don't want to hear it. I care about your body. You shouldn't think so much about the affairs in the court. There are so many things you don't need to do."

Zhu Cilang hurriedly saluted again.

"The child has been thinking about the affairs of the court these days, but he has not reported it to his mother and queen, which has made his mother worry. However, the child has made up his mind to share his worries for his father. The child is already seventeen years old and should do something in the court."

Queen Zhou smiled slightly, and there was obvious gloriousness in her eyes.

"The emperor just said that there are two things that are not at ease, what is it?"

Zhu Cilang's face showed a helpless expression.

"My mother, the child will leave the capital and go to Nanjing tomorrow, but the father has never mentioned the preparations, and the child has not reached the original palace. The child is worried that the father is worried about whether the child is going to Nanjing. In fact, all the child thinks about the current crisis in the capital. The child is eager to go to Nanjing, to gather the troops and financial resources from the south, rush to the capital to rescue the capital, and resolve the crisis in the capital as soon as possible."

"The child wanted to see King Ding and asked him to care more about his mother. After the child left the capital, he could not see his mother every day. He could only let King Ding bring his child's longing when he paid homage to the queen every day."

Queen Zhou stood up and walked to Zhu Cixuan.

"Your son, you have so many things in your mind. I really didn't expect it. No wonder you have changed so many times. It seems that I am thinking too much. You will leave the capital tomorrow. I ask Yuhuan and Chunmei to take care of you. Rest as much as you are alone in Nanjing. You must pay attention to your health. If you have any difficulties, tell the emperor directly. As for this palace, you don't have to worry. Taking good care of yourself is the greatest comfort to me..."

When leaving Kunning Palace, Zhu Cilang breathed a long sigh of relief.

Zhu Cixuan did not pay attention to the huge changes in his personality because the huge crisis is approaching. It is necessary to find a way to solve it. The focus is different, and the focus of doing things is also different. This is his negligence. He originally thought that this was not a big problem, but now it seems that this is the problem and the crux of the problem.

Behind the question of Empress Zhou was the shadow of his father Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Cilang had tried his best to answer. He knew that it would not take long before the will of his father Zhu Youjian.

It is impossible to make Zhu Youjian completely relieved. If the situation does not change significantly, Zhu Cixuan, the crown prince, would be directly controlled by Zhu Youjian when he goes to Nanjing and has no autonomy. If Li Zicheng did not lead the army to attack the capital, the capital would be in great danger, and Zhu Cixuan would not have the opportunity to go to Nanjing to supervise the country. The most important point is that Zhu Cixuan was gentle and polite in the past, and never showed his desire for power, so that Zhu Youjian was relieved. But now Zhu Cixuan began to show his strength and ability, and occasionally showed his ambition. How could this make Zhu Youjian, who was suspicious by nature relieved?

Shi Yi was life, and Zhu Cixuan couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, yesterday he insisted on inspecting Guang Shiheng yesterday, which made the cabinet chief Chen Yan and others feel scared. They support him, the prince who disrespects the ancestor system and does not understand the rules, leaving the capital to the Nanjing governor, otherwise Zhu Youjian would definitely not let him go.

Back to Duanben Palace, Zhu Cilang went straight to the study room, and now he just needs to wait quietly.

Just after the Si hour, footsteps sounded outside the study room.

"Report to the Crown Prince, Lord Wang Chengen came to announce the edict..."

"I understand, please wait in the lobby."

Zhu Cilang smiled knowingly. The court uniform he wore during the morning court had not taken off, but he still had to wait for a while.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Cilang appeared in the lobby.

...

After taking the imperial edict handed over by Wang Chengen, Zhu Cilang spoke with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Wang, I have a lot of things to prepare, so I won't leave Lord Wang."

Wang Cheng'en bowed to Zhu Cilang and bowed.

"I wish the prince a smooth journey. I specially wrote a letter to Wang Zhen, the governor of Nanjing's Liquor Superintendent, and asked His Highness to hand it over to Wang Zhen after he arrived in Nanjing."

Zhu Cilang took the letter and nodded.

"I know, Gu must hand this letter to Lord Wang Zhen himself."

Wang Chengen bowed to Zhu Cilang again.
