Before hanging himself, Chongzhen lifted the table

Chapter 52 Can't delay
At the same time, in the Jinluan Palace, Prince Zhu Cihong and all the civil and military officials were very nervous.

In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, at least after the capital was moved to Peking, there was only one capital mutiny.That mutiny resulted in a new emperor.

Now that there has been another mutiny in the capital, does this mean there will be another great chaos?
It was the first time that Zhu Cixi presided over a court meeting in the Jinluan Palace. Such a big thing happened not long after his father left the palace. He was really confused and didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, before his father left, he had told him that he could trust three cabinet ministers, so he could only rely on these three people.

After discussing with the three of them, Zhu Cixiang sent troops to suppress it, and sent out several trusted people in one go.

At this time, Fan Jingwen, the newly appointed chief minister of the cabinet, suddenly said "Ah!" and then hurriedly reported to Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness, the situation in the city must be stabilized. Full martial law must be implemented to prevent the riot from spreading and causing the entire capital to fall into turmoil!"

After a pause, he immediately reviewed and said: "It's all because of the poor thinking. Before, I only thought about suppressing the rebellion and His Majesty's safety, and forgot about this matter!"

As soon as the Jinluan Palace got the news, they immediately interrogated the three princes, and then sent a trustworthy general to lead the army to quell the rebellion. Considering the emperor's safety, he hurriedly asked the most trustworthy Wang Cheng'en to rush to escort him.

After finishing all this, Fan Jingwen, who had experience in leading troops, remembered that all the civil and military officials from all the yamen in the capital were in the Jinluan Hall, and no one was in charge of the security of the capital. In the event of a sudden mutiny, not only the soldiers might cause riots, but also some ruffians in the capital. It is very likely that they will take the opportunity to cause chaos, and the capital will be in chaos.

There is a rebellion in the capital, and people are already panicking. If the chaos spreads to the whole city, the consequences will be unimaginable, and even more unbearable!
With this in mind, he immediately said: "Your Highness, please immediately ask the Commander of the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, and the magistrates of each county to return to the Yamen, immediately impose martial law on the capital, and stabilize the situation!"

After hearing this, Zhu Cixi said hesitantly: "I don't know if they are loyal?"

According to his father, the capital city was destroyed and most of the officials were not loyal to the Zhu family.If a mutiny breaks out at this time, if these people are actually involved, if they are allowed to go back, it will only cause an even greater rebellion, right?

Fan Jingwen was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't guarantee that His Highness the Crown Prince's worries were unfounded!Before the incident, who would have thought that the three Nationalist Congresses would rebel?
The Yin of Shuntian Prefecture was of a higher rank. Standing in the front, he could hear the conversation between the Chief Minister and His Royal Highness. He quickly stepped out of the queue and knelt down and said: "Your Highness, I am loyal to the imperial court, and heaven and earth can learn from it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chunchen, Xu Yunzhen and others who were under special custody also immediately complained, saying that they had absolutely no rebellion.

With them making such a fuss, Zhu Cixiang couldn't even tell which ministers he could trust and which ministers he couldn't trust in this tense situation!Once the judgment is wrong, the consequences will be very serious.

After all, Fan Jingwen was still capable. He knew that if he delayed it any longer, he would really be unable to clean up the situation when the whole city was in chaos, so he immediately said: "Who can your Highness trust? Who can you send? We can't delay it any longer!"

When Zhu Cixiang heard this, he immediately replied: "Those people whom my father summoned yesterday are all loyal to the country. They are trustworthy!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. It turns out that the person who was summoned by the emperor yesterday still had such a statement?
Then they discovered that the emperor summoned generals and nobles yesterday, but there seemed to be no civil servants, so they were a little dumbfounded.

According to this meaning, shouldn't any civil servants be trusted by the emperor?But it seems that it shouldn’t be the case. Before the emperor left the city, he even named three cabinet ministers!
Fan Jingwen couldn't care about anything else at this time and immediately asked Zhu Cihong to tell him who had been summoned yesterday so that he could arrange for them to take over the security of the capital.

Unexpectedly, those people whom the emperor summoned yesterday were basically given important positions by the emperor. They had either been sent out or were tasked with guarding the Forbidden City.The final result was that in the hands of the people summoned by the emperor yesterday, there was no one to send!
At this moment, others did not know, but as far as Zhu Cixiang was concerned, he really realized that it was really difficult to be an emperor, and he had no idea how to recognize people!

In the main hall, there is only one Fan Jingwen who can be trusted, but the main assistant also needs to be in charge, and it is impossible to send him out.what to do?
It was such a cold day that Zhu Cixi broke out in a sweat.

At this moment, a chamberlain hurriedly came in and reported to Zhu Cihong: "Your Majesty has led the troops into the city and has put down the rebellion. I have sent an order to His Majesty to gather all the civil and military officials at the Meridian Gate."

When Zhu Cixiang heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his father took action!
Fan Jingwen, on the other hand, was very surprised.The head of the Jinluan Palace didn't know what to do, but the emperor had already led troops to put down the rebellion?
The emperor had never led troops before. How did he put down the rebellion so quickly?
Others think that as long as he is the emperor, he can lead the troops with a decree, and the soldiers will obey when he gives an order. However, in the view of Fan Jingwen, who has experience in leading troops, this situation is very unrealistic, especially in recent years. This soldier is becoming more and more difficult to lead!
At this moment, he suddenly believed that perhaps the current emperor had really been instructed by Emperor Taizu, or else he had the talent to lead troops and knew how to make soldiers obedient!

If this is the case, the emperor said before in the Jinluan Palace that he would personally lead the troops to pacify the world, is there really some hope?

With this in mind, he accompanied His Highness the Crown Prince and all the civil and military officials in the Jinluan Palace to move to the Meridian Gate.

On the other side, Jiang Dejing, the assistant cabinet minister who supervised the distribution of military pay, saw the emperor leading troops into the city. To be honest, he was very worried.

I really didn't expect that there would be a rebellion in the capital city.Although he has never led an army, he has checked the military readiness situation in the past two years and knows that if there is a military disaster, it will definitely be a big chaos!

Not to mention worrying about whether his house would be affected, he was just worried that the situation would become uncontrollable, which made him feel a little on pins and needles.

However, the emperor asked him to settle the arrears and register all the Jizhen soldiers before leading the troops into the city. He felt that it was necessary.

If the border troops entering the capital cannot be restrained, they may lead to even more chaos in the capital city!

However, Jiang Dejing still had no idea. Even if the frontier troops had paid their dues and were registered again, after entering the city and seeing the chaos, would they take the opportunity to plunder the bustling capital? Could happen?

Hesitation, anxiety, irritability and other emotions were constantly reflected in Jiang Dejing, so much so that he kept urging to speed up the payment of outstanding wages and registration of the roster.Only when there is no major chaos in the city, leading troops into the city can prevent the border troops from disobeying military orders and participating in the chaos.

"Really, I don't know what the situation is like in the city, and I don't send anyone to keep in touch at all times!"

"The emperor still doesn't know how to lead troops. At least he can send someone to deliver the news, so that reinforcements can be sent to the outside of the city in time! He just asked himself to lead troops to the Meridian Gate. How confident is he that he can suppress the rebellion immediately?"

"No, we have to send someone to check on the situation in the city, otherwise we will be too unsure!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Dejing finally couldn't help but sent a team of cavalry to the city to inquire about the news.

As a result, what he didn't expect was that the cavalry who had just entered the city came back quickly, which shocked him.
