Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 603 The Dust Settles
Zhu Cihong crawled over, grabbed the iron pillar, and cried out: "Royal father, these third younger brothers planned it, my son was just bewitched by him!"

"How grown-up are you, you can do what other people say! Even if his third child provokes you, if you don't have the heart, will you give in?

I thought that although you were cowardly and cowardly, you would not do anything out of the ordinary because of this, but look at what you have done now!
He even wanted to rebel and kill me!Zhu Cihong, do you have any brains?
I can kill you if you say you want to kill me, Qian Qianyi, Li Zicheng, Dorgon, there are not ten thousand people who want my life, there are a thousand people, you have not seen what happened to them all these years! "

Zhu Youjian shouted loudly.

Zhu Cihong only cried and roared: "Royal father, I know I was wrong, woo woo!"

"Let's talk about you, second child, if you stay in the barracks, train hard and fight hard to accumulate military prestige, I have nothing to say, even if you lead troops to kill me in the future, I have nothing to say, but you know you What did you do?
Xia Wanchun is the governor of the Northeast that I sent out. When the entire Northeast War was at its most critical, you actually used a cold shot from behind!
Do you know how much impact Xia Wanchun had on the war in the Northeast when he was injured?
As a result, Qin Zuoming's Ministry missed the opportunity to wipe out the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, do you know that!In the face of national interests and your personal political interests, you actually chose personal political interests. I am very disappointed in you.

Shot your governor coldly. As an officer of the guard system, you should understand what punishment you will face! "

Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but sat on the ground trembling, and immediately said: "Father, my son is wronged, I didn't do anything to Xia Wanchun!"

"Bring it up", Zhu Youjian waved his hand, at this time the person who helped Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong frame Xia Wanchun was dragged by Jin Yiwei:
"My lord, their torture was too harsh, and my subordinates recruited everything!"

Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but grabbed the iron pillar and roared: "You bastard!"

……

"Third brother, you surprised me. Over the years, I have ignored you the most. I thought you were just a follower behind your elder brother, but now I realize that everything your elder brother does is related to you." , even you are the best at making money, but your housekeeper is my man!"

With that said, Zhu Youjian said again:
"I'm quite curious, why did you buy that guy Hua Yuncheng? You are quite capable, but why did you use your intelligence on the right path, using some means to use your elder brother, and then to achieve yourself? His purpose is to kill a court lady, and his heart is cruel enough!

If I only want Daming to be a small-scale peasant economic empire, you may be my best successor, but I hope that my successor is not only a ruthless dictator with extremely high levels of government, but also someone with his own political ideals Pioneers, don't think that the world will be peaceful once Jianlu is kicked out, and you can rest assured to fight in the nest. The era has just begun, children!

And what are you doing, none of you are going to enroll in the new school I opened, but you remember clearly the birthday of the minister's concubine's concubine! "

"No, you, not the emperor father I know, you are not!" Zhu Cihuan suddenly yelled at Zhu Youjian.

"That's right, I'm no longer the royal father in your eyes. Drink this glass of wine and make a break with this world. This is your destiny, and it can be regarded as a negative example for your younger brothers!"

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he asked people to raise the three glasses of poisoned wine in front of him. Zhu Cihuan drank it most decisively, while Zhu Cijiong trembled, and finally had to drink it down. Zhu Cihong still kowtowed and begged for mercy, but in the end he could not I stopped drinking it.

The next day.

Hua Yuncheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also died suddenly.

A storm in the inner palace that started in the 25th and 26th years of Chongzhen ended like this. Zhu Youjian strictly forbade the spread of these incidents, so not many people knew the secrets. Everyone only knew that three princes of Ming Dynasty died strangely on that day, and The queen also died that day.

……

"Your Majesty, Xia Wanchun knelt outside the palace and begged to see him."

"Let him in."

Soon, Xia Wanchun appeared in front of Zhu Youjian, and expressed to Zhu Youjian that he wanted to marry Xu Zhaohua and beg for Xu Zhaohua's mercy.

"I didn't kill her as an extra favor. Imprisoning her for 100 years is already a lighter punishment. You don't need to mention it again," Zhu Youjian said.

"The humble minister implores His Majesty to imprison him in the Imperial Prison as well, and be locked up with her." Xia Wanchun replied.

"Xia Wanchun, you are really infatuated, but I have a condition, you have to teach the Eighth Prince for ten years before I can let you go to prison to accompany her!"

……

The inside of the Ming court suddenly fell silent, the new prince was not yet an adult, and the imperial court became much quieter as a result, the ministers once again put their minds on internal and external affairs.

And in the Northeast at this time.

Shunzhi, who had taken over the ruling power of Jianlu from Jierharang, also made up his mind:

"I have made up my mind. Instead of dealing with the Ming army in this vast jungle and looking for opportunities to return to Hetuala, it is better to go north and then move west. I got the Ming people's Kunyu Wanguo Quantu in Beijing back then. The vast land does not even have a powerful empire, but there are many fertile fields. Instead of being trapped here by the Ming army, perhaps moving west is the only way out. Before winter comes, we should act immediately. However, Prince Zheng, I I hope you can leave some banner people here to deal with the Ming army and paralyze the Ming army."

"Old slave complies with the order. Since Lord Long Live has made up his mind, he should set off immediately. Now that the governor of the Northeast of the Ming army has just been injured, the offensive has been suspended. It is the best time for Lord Long Live to evacuate in time."

After Jierhalang finished speaking, he kowtowed three times to Shunzhi, and then took some bannermen who were facing the red flag all the way south.

Shunzhi took most of the Jianlu and Horqin troops northward, and looked back at the vast forest in the south: "Maybe one day, I will come back here."

Although the entire Jianlu and Horqin tribes have no base now, the fighting spirit of Shunzhi at this time is quite high.

Because he successfully got rid of Dorgon and Jierharang's control over him, and almost all of the nobles in the Manchu Qing Dynasty who could become powerful officials, Baylor died, so that he is now truly in control of the ruling power of the entire Jianlu. As for the Horqin tribe, because his mother was still there, and the Horqin tribe was still not an opponent of the Jianlu cavalry, Shunzhi was able to control the Horqin tribe.

Of course, Shunzhi also knew that his current strength could no longer compete with the Ming army, and he even knew that he would not be able to defend Hetuala even if he returned to Hetuala, so he chose to go west. In his opinion, going west Maybe there's still a way out.
