The ministers who supported the traitor accounted for more than 60%, but there were only about twenty "own people", so our side was obviously at a numerical disadvantage. ,
Moreover, most of the generals supported this rebellious son, which meant that except for the Yongwei camp, he had lost control of the troops around the capital.
There was no other way. Out of helplessness, Chongzhen had no choice but to take a risk and use his identity as the emperor to warn the rebellious ministers who were collaborating with the rebellious son. Anyone who dared to be disrespectful to him would be committing rebellion.
"I respectfully request that your majesty move to the southern capital!"
Xue Guoguan first knelt on the ground and took the lead in persuading Emperor Chongzhen to retreat. With this certificate of surrender, as long as his prospective son-in-law secures his position, his position will be as stable as Mount Tai in the future, and he will become the "Old Taishan" of the prince.
"I respectfully request that your majesty move to the southern capital!"
"I respectfully request that your majesty move to the southern capital!"
"I respectfully request that your majesty move to the southern capital."
With the chief minister taking the lead, other ministers who chose to join the prince also knelt down and began to persuade the emperor. For a while, the voice of "move to the southern capital" repeatedly echoed in the Huangji Palace.
"You are really treasonous! I am the emperor! How can I allow you to act so recklessly! Don't you know that this is an act of rebellion?"
Chongzhen never expected that his first assistant, Xue Guoguan, could lead a group of ministers to be rude to him and openly ask him to move to the southern capital.
If I agree to the demands of many rebellious ministers in front of me, what's the difference between being deposed? As an emperor, how can he command the world in the future?
Why were so many courtiers seduced by this traitor after he fell into a coma during the day? After all, have they benefited from Shenzi, and will they be completely devoted to Nizi?
"By supporting His Highness, I will stabilize the foundation of the country. By deposing the crown prince, I will destroy the foundation of the Yao Kingdom. I all believe that Your Highness's move can revive the Ming Dynasty, and I hope that Your Majesty will move to the southern capital to reflect on his mistakes!"
Back then, Emperor Shenzong wanted to make Zhu Changxun, the son of Concubine Zheng, the crown prince, and a protracted "national dispute" broke out. Now that Emperor Chongzhen still plans to do this, it is because he has lost his wits.
Although the starting point is completely different from that of Emperor Shenzong, the method of abolishing the elders and establishing younger ones is absolutely undesirable. Moreover, the prince's ability is obviously stronger than other princes, and even more powerful than the emperor himself. This makes it even more impossible to touch the "national foundation" of Yao.
Xue Guoguan asked the emperor to go to Nandu to reflect on his mistakes. Between the lines, he accused Chongzhen of very serious mistakes, and his mistakes were even much more serious than those of Emperor Shenzong.
At that time, Shenzong was at least basically a country in Min'an. Now the border is raging with war and bandits are raging in the pass. At this time, he still wants to touch the "national foundation" of Yao. The emperor is really crazy.
"Asshole! I am the emperor, and you are a minister! As the chief minister, how can you help the emperor do evil? Make arrogant comments on my family affairs?"
Chongzhen was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed. What was his fault? Wasn't it his fault that he was made angry by this traitor? Otherwise everything will be business as usual.
"Your Majesty's family affairs are the most important thing in the world! Your Majesty is unwilling to reflect on himself. As ministers, I naturally have no shirk of responsibility!"
What Xue Guoguan said was reasonable and not cowardly at all. Whenever a "national dispute" is involved, any minister has the right to speak, and must protect the prince. It is normal to criticize the emperor.
"You act recklessly as a minister! I will remove you as the chief minister now! Come here! Drag Xue Guoguan out and punish him with a stick!"
Chongzhen had never seen such a bold first assistant, who actually wanted to help the traitor to drive him, the emperor, to the southern capital. He had to resort to the method of removing the first assistant and adding a staff to punish him. ,
"Why are you so slow to move? Are you trying to disobey me?"
But after the emperor finished speaking, the strong and powerful Han general acted as if he had not heard anything and still stood there, as if he was just a group of decorations.
"Father, my son said that my father has lost all the hearts of the people, but he still doesn't believe it. How many people in the main hall will listen to his words now?"
With a sneer on his face, a certain prince began to ridicule the mediocre emperor who had lost his power to rule. Only when he hit the wall did he know that the situation was over.
"Rebellion! Rebellious! Do you all want to rebel against this traitor?"
Chongzhen watched helplessly as a group of people spoke to Nizi, wondering who else he could trust in Huangji Palace.
"I just hope that your majesty will move to the southern capital!"
Xue Guoguan still used the same rhetoric, but with so many people behind him supporting him, he became emboldened.
"The ministers are only thinking about the country and the country of Ming Dynasty. How does it involve rebellion? If the father thinks that the ministers supporting his sons are rebels, then Grandpa Guangzong's throne is obtained by rebellion. Isn't it ridiculous?"
What the scapegoat said was invisibly forcing the ministers to move closer to him. His intimidation had a counterproductive effect, which he never expected.
"You bastard! How dare you, a rebellious son, say that my father's position as emperor was obtained by reincarnation? What crime should you do?"
With a disobedient chief minister and a prince who attempted to usurp the throne, Chongzhen had hit a "good time", and things became increasingly out of control.
"My son didn't say it, it was my father who said it! Supporting the crown prince is treason. Grandpa Guangzong was also the prince of the dynasty back then! Grandpa Shenzong wanted to abolish the elders and establish younger ones, so he would disturb the foundation of the Yao Kingdom!"
A certain prince wanted to take this second-rate emperor into a ditch, and see who could knock whom out first.
"The situations are different! Don't generalize! You, the traitor, want to mix the two things up! You also slandered Emperor Shenzong and moved the Yao Kingdom. This is really abominable! I demoted you to a commoner too lightly. You, the traitor, should be killed now!" "
Although Chongzhen was furious and furious, he could still distinguish the difference between the two things, and he was not yet confused by this traitor.
"My son tried his best to save the Ming Dynasty, but my father tried every possible means to put his son to death. He is truly the emperor of the ages!"
If we continue at this pace, maybe in less than five years, the Ming Dynasty will be defeated by this second-rate emperor, but Nongle will destroy the emperor outside the pass.
"The Ming Dynasty belongs to me! I don't need you, a traitor like you, to save my Ming Dynasty!"
This rebellious son had no other abilities, and his ability to irritate people was growing day by day, especially when he tried to usurp the throne under the guise of saving the Ming Dynasty. The more Chongzhen thought about this, the more angry he became.
"Father, you are wrong again. The Ming Dynasty is yours, and it belongs to the civil servants, military generals and the people of the world! Without the civil servants, military generals, and the people of the world, how can the imperial decrees be implemented? Who can resist the Eastern captives and rogue bandits? Without the people of the world, father. How much did the emperor eat and drink? He starved to death in less than a month! Instead of constantly summing up his own faults during his twelve years in power, the emperor became arrogant, only focused on himself, and became more and more arbitrary. A compliment. By the way, my father, this foolish king, is becoming more and more qualified!"
After hearing what her eldest son said, Queen Zhou wanted to reconcile, but in view of the current tense atmosphere in the hall, she gave up after thinking about it. My husband is indeed very close to what the eldest son described, and I can only accept it.
Concubine Tian Guifei, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, really wanted her son to be the prince. She fully supported the emperor in her heart, but she was afraid that the prince would be too powerful and would retaliate against the mother and son after victory, so she was in a dilemma.
Thinking about it, it would be better to move to Nandu. After arriving in Nandu, even if His Majesty deposed his crown prince title and established the fifth prince as heir apparent, Zhu Cihong would be beyond his reach.
Only Concubine Yuan Guifei is a veritable bystander. No matter which side wins, she is not much of a threat. However, today's court meeting also made her understand how fierce the struggle for power can be, and there will be no mercy even between father and son.
"Presumptuous! You bastard! I didn't raise you up so that you, a rebellious son, could humiliate me! The world belongs to me! The ministers also belong to me! The people even more belong to me! So what's wrong with what I said? "
Chongzhen believed that he owned everything in the Ming Dynasty, and no one, including this traitor, could ever take away even a part of it from him.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen felt a little regretful. If this traitor had been so rude to him earlier, he should have been strangled to death in his infancy to prevent him from plotting to usurp the throne when he grew up.
Now it's better, like a mad dog, it bites the throne and insists on forcing himself to move to Nandu. It seems that if he doesn't move, he will launch a mutiny.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! My father is never wrong! What I said in the edict are all lies! What is wrong is the sons and ministers, the wrong is the courtiers, and the wrong is the people of the world! My father is wise and powerful. , the merit lies in the ages. As long as the father is attentive, there is nothing in the world that the father cannot do. Even if the father is the only one left in the Ming Dynasty, the world will still belong to the father! Father, do you think this is appropriate for me to say this? What? If it’s not suitable, then I will tell you that my father can ascend to heaven and earth, ascend to the nine heavens to embrace the moon, descend to the five oceans to catch turtles, and protect the body with magical powers, he is omnipotent!”
This idiot emperor also said that he was not Emperor Hui of Jin, and it was thanks to the fact that the Ming vassal king had no soldiers at this time.
Otherwise, if you can't last even seventeen years, you will be kicked down. In the end, you won't be able to hold on as long as Emperor Hui of Jin.
Governance is all retrograde, and ZTE relies on daydreaming. This "Eternal Emperor" is very competent at his job!
"You traitor! You still want to take this opportunity to humiliate me! Although I am not very intelligent and far inferior to the previous emperors, I am not what you, the traitor, can achieve in this life!"
Chongzhen finally said a relatively pertinent self-evaluation, but then he took the initiative to distance himself from Nizi.
"Father, your intelligence is beyond the reach of ordinary people! Even Ming Dynasty has been ruined by you, and you are still here drunkenly dreaming! You still say that you are not stupid, are there any normal people like you? Just like Bian Magpie saw Duke Huan of Cai, but Duke Huan of Cai is ill with his body, and you are ill with your mind! But it is not in the advanced stage yet, and you can still be saved. But if you insist on refusing to save me, it will become an incurable disease. !”
It is a great misfortune for the royal family, the court, and the people to have such a mentally retarded father as the emperor. However, it is a great blessing for Huang Taiji, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others!
Seeing that my "talk therapy" has no effect on this patient, the patient has developed a strong drug resistance and has subjectively given up on treatment.
"Damn it! I'm fine! You, the traitor, are clearly trying to frame me! I am now in good health and have a sharp mind, and I will never be deceived by your traitor again!"
This unruly son actually said that he was terminally ill, clearly cursing himself and hoping that he would die soon. When Chongzhen heard this, he immediately became furious. Nothing could make him more angry than this.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! That's what Cai Huangong said at the beginning! Then after a while, it became an incurable terminal disease! My father is walking the same path as Cai Huangong back then! My father keeps moving forward, don't go further Look at both sides! It will slowly melt into the blue sky in the end!"
If Chongzhen could live beyond the age of fifty, he would probably be close to Alzheimer's disease, and his mind would be filled with thoughts of those who want to harm me.
"You, the traitor, are talking nonsense here! It is clearly you who is suffering from an incurable disease! You, the traitor, are clearly possessed by evil spirits! I want to invite eminent monks to come and exorcise the demons!"
Chongzhen now feels that his judgment is very correct, otherwise this traitor would not be talking crazy things. Maybe there is an Onizhong in the palace, and a senior monk must preside over the rituals to turn the crisis around.
"Father! I am too lazy to talk nonsense to you. At present, it seems that talking more is useless! Please agree to move to Nandu now, otherwise after dawn, even if you are still in the capital, you will become the Supreme Emperor!"
This dumper seems to have become smarter and has become a veritable "knife meat". A certain prince can no longer waste time on this guy and must cut through the mess quickly.
"Shut up! Don't mention this matter again! I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I have nothing to do with Yao! Do you think any rebellious minister dares to act rashly?"
Chongzhen would never accept being driven from the capital to the southern capital by his son. If this matter spread, he would be disgraced as an emperor, and his future power and treatment would be no better than that of Tang Xuanzong.
"This is the will of my sons, the will of all the ministers, and the will of the people of the world! Anyone who is willing to follow my father in the palace can follow his father south. When he reaches the southern capital, his monthly salary will remain unchanged."
Since there are still people who are flattering the emperor, let them follow their wishes. A certain prince is very tolerant. Even if they decide to continue to support Chongzhen, they can continue to be favorable in terms of salary.
"Shut up! You, the traitor, have no right to tell me how to act! I will not move to Nandu! You, the traitor, don't try to confuse the officials!"
The more Chongzhen thought about it, the angrier he became. So many civil servants and generals were bribed by this treacherous son. They were all a group of people who were unjust and unfaithful. How could the Ming Dynasty not be destroyed if this went on for a long time?
"Father, you are about to become a loner, and you can no longer have the final say here. If you want to have the final say, you can only move to the southern capital. By the way, it is getting late. When you enter the court, you will order dinner to be prepared. Keep it simple. That’s fine, just have one piece of braised pork rice per person, with sour plum soup!”
As the saying goes, cannibals are short-tongued, and a certain prince had to replenish his strength to the younger brothers who supported him, so as to continue fighting against this stubborn and useless emperor.
"How dare you! I haven't said anything about the meal yet! Dare you dare to overstep your authority?"
As the prince's henchman, Yang Jinchao did not dare to neglect him at all. When Chongzhen saw this, he became furious. The servant no longer listened to his orders, but instead obeyed the orders of this traitor. Is this okay?
"My father can skip meals, but he can't stop his sons and ministers from treating their mother, my aunt, and all the ministers well!"
If you decide to use starvation therapy, I won't stop you. Let's see who can endure it until the end.
"You are clearly trying to win people's hearts! I want to see who dares to eat in front of me openly!"
Chongzhen was so angry that he still had the time to eat, but he couldn't eat and didn't want to watch a group of people eating.
"Father, if you don't use it yourself and don't let others eat it, isn't this a sign of being unkind and unkind?"
A certain prince can find something embarrassing to do at any time and anywhere to attack this second-rate emperor. It is so unkind of you to do this. No wonder no one is willing to take the blame for you in the end. 11
