Chapter 200 Troubles in the Five Barracks

Crazy, crazy, long live, crazy, completely crazy!

The officials were almost blown up. The defense mobilization power of the three major battalions in the capital, the command power of the Eastern Palace Guard, and the command power of the Jinyiwei were all allocated to Zhu Cixuan.

In other words, theoretically, Zhu Cilang is already the most powerful person in the capital at this moment. He is even greater than Emperor Chongzhen.

The Beijing City Defense Force, the command of the Jinyiwei, and even the position of the governor of the three major camps of the Jingying Rong Zheng were given to Zhu Cixuan. Zhu Cixuan now has the final say in the entire Beijing City.

Even if it is possible, it is not impossible for Zhu Cilang to usurp the throne and plot against him.

Fortunately, he was still young and others would not think about usurping the throne and plotting against him. However, the officials did not react to such an important military defense when he was handed over to a teenage child.

When they realized it, the government and the people were shocked. The emperor was crazy, why did he hand over all the command of the capital defense in the capital to a prince who was still stinky. This would cause a big problem.

Some officials wanted to stand up and oppose, but they just took a step back. Because Chongzhen's edict was clearly stated in the edict just now, if any officials dared to write to the opposition, they would be sentenced to death!

What is the punishment of death? It means killing me directly.

But there are always some people who are ignorant, who think that the emperor is just a scare. It is like a joke to hand over the defense of the capital to the prince.

So, Tian Hongzhang, the doctor of the Ministry of War, stood up first, holding the ivory tablet: "Long live my message, I have a word. This is not in line with the ancestral system and nor in line with the rules."

Chongzhen looked at him coldly: "I said that those who dare to oppose others will be sentenced to death."

Tian Hongzhang shivered, but since he stood up, he did not believe that Chongzhen would really be punished by his own death. At worst, he would be demoted by the time he would have a good reputation for being brave and straightforward advice. At that time, he would raise his arms among the scholars and his reputation and halo would come. It would be much better than being a fifth-rank doctor in the court, and at his age, he would be hopeless to rise.

Besides, it may not be a good thing to be promoted. Many important officials were dismissed in a few days. With Emperor Chongzhen, they were like changing cabinet members and changing clothes more frequently than changing clothes.

So he took the courage to continue, "The criminal minister risked his life to make suggestions, which is not in accordance with the rules. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for the prince to take charge of military power in the capital. Please think twice."

Chongzhen was very busy at first, so he didn't want to think twice. So Emperor Chongzhen, who didn't want to think twice, also made a quick decision: "Come here!"

Several palace guards immediately walked in outside the hall. The guards held swords and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen.

Chongzhen didn't say nonsense: "Drag it out and you'll kill the stick!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers were in a state of great sensation. Everyone looked at each other in horror, and the whole court was in chaos for a moment. Tian Hongzhang was so scared that he was so scared that he never expected that the emperor was coming to plead for a while. But he trembled for a few words, and before he could speak, he was dragged out by the guards.

At this time, Tian Hongzhang remembered to help his life, so he sniffed a pig like a ghost: "Long live, spare your life, spare your life! The old minister just told the truth, begging Long live, please spare your life!"

Chongzhen did not say a word, and the crackling sound of boards quickly sounded outside, accompanied by Tian Hongzhang's screams. All the officials in the court were frightened and silent.

After a while, as the screams gradually stopped, a guard walked in and bowed: "Long live the report, the prisoner is still killed by a stick."

Chongzhen looked around his ministers: "Who else objected? Why not stand up together?"

Only at this time will the fool stand up and oppose it. The real thing is that the emperor is here. Although there are still some people who oppose it, no one is afraid of death. When Tian Hongzhang stood up, he originally wanted several officials to follow in the footsteps.

But who knew that Tian Hongzhang was beaten to death soon outside the court. Tian Hongzhang, who was still jumping wildly, lost his life in a blink of an eye. Who dared to stand up at this time? Wouldn't he be seeking death?

Emperor Chongzhen looked around the civil and military officials below. None of the ministers dared to say anything again. The supremacy of imperial power was fully demonstrated at this moment. The emperor really had to make up his mind to do something, no one could stop him.

Emperor Chongzhen was like an eagle standing on the top of a mountain, overlooking the prey on the ground. At this time, Zhu Chunchen moved his feet inappropriately.

This was soon discovered by Emperor Chongzhen: "Why, Cheng Gong, do you still have something to say?"

Similarly, even the powerful Duke Cheng Guo, Zhu Chunchen, was so scared that he was trembling at this moment. He hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Old minister, the old minister firmly agreed to the will of the emperor. His Highness is young and promising, and His Highness takes charge of the defense of the capital. This is the best, and it is better."

Several ministers of Zhu Chunchen, a shameful licking dog, couldn't help but look down on Zhu Chunchen. However, Chongzhen seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, and his eyes finally turned away from Zhu Chunchen: "My dear friends, no one is against you, so this matter is settled. Anyone else has any opinions, why not stand up."

Emperor Chongzhen asked three times in a row, but no one dared to answer. No matter what the result is, no matter whether you can accept it, the current crown prince already has the power to lead the defense of the capital.

"Since no one objected, Wang Chengen."

Wang Chengen hurriedly stepped forward and took a step forward, holding the whisk in his hand: "If you have something to report, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

When the court was dispersed, the civil and military officials no longer talked while talking as usual. This time, everyone walked out of the palace gate like a gray grandson. No one spoke, no one talked.

Because, the moment they stepped out of the hall, they lay on the stool, their skin was blown open, and their eyes were dying with their eyes closed, Tian Hongzhang died in front of the hall gate of the morning court.

Everyone saw the officials who retired from the court. This was the declaration of imperial power, and Chongzhen let you all know the consequences of opposing the imperial edict.

This time, Chongzhen was very happy and really delegated the military power to Zhu Cilang. When Zhu Cilang took over, it went smoothly.

At this time, the five military camps stationed in Wuqing County, Tongzhou were already complaining. Their days in the capital were already hard to bear, but now they were transferred to Wuqing County, which was more than a hundred miles away from the capital. Moreover, the military pay she agreed to have been paid was gone.

In the barracks of the Five Military Barracks, soldiers caused trouble from time to time. Even the lower-level generals complained. They felt that they were deceived by the court again.

"Brothers, we can't live this life. We stayed well in the capital, and suddenly we were transferred to this place where birds were not shit without warning. The court wanted to abandon us."

"Hmph, I have entered the military camp and have never seen what the military salary is like. If I had known this, I would rather go and follow the rebels' rebels."
