Chapter seven hundred and twentieth
Wang Chengen was shocked: "Empress must not! If Empress goes to find the Emperor at this time, the Emperor will be furious, which will be even more unfavorable to the Prince's situation."
As soon as Wang Chengen said this, Empress Zhou was stunned. Yes, who dared to plead for the crown prince at this time will only aggravate the anger of Emperor Chongzhen. If he did not plead, Zhu Cixuan's situation would become increasingly difficult.
Queen Zhou shook her body and almost couldn't stand. Princess Kunxing jumped off the chair in shock and hurried over to support her: "My mother!"
Princess Kunxing was tearful: "Why, why did the father treat his brother like this? My brother made so many contributions, and my father still treats him like this. I no longer like my father, wuwu."
Princess Kunxing cried with the pear blossoms raining, Queen Zhou hugged her daughter in her arms and cried with her.
It was so frustrating that there was no one who bullied people like this. The contribution made by Zhu Cixuan can be said to have saved the entire Ming Dynasty. Without this prince, Li Zicheng had already ravaged the Central Plains and his troops had entered Beijing.
What did Chongzhen think? He couldn't see all this? Without Zhu Cilang, you might have lost your country long ago.
Little did they know that it was because Zhu Cilang's contribution was too great, so great that he directly threatened Chongzhen's imperial power, and the slutty interfered with it, which made the situation magnified.
Perhaps Chongzhen had some doubts before, but he thought that he was his son after all, so he naturally didn't think much about it. Zhu Chunchen, Duke Cheng and Zhang Jinyan, Secretary of War, fanned the flames and completely expanded the situation, which forced Chongzhen to pay attention.
Once the seeds of suspicion take root and sprout, they will grow endlessly. Judging from the current situation, no one can save Zhu Cilang.
However, everyone forgot about one person, someone who could turn the world around and make Emperor Chongzhen helpless.
Wang Chengen did not forget it, and he thought of it, so he found Empress Zhou: "Empress, I dared to make a fuss, and there is another person who may save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Ming Dynasty and the danger."
Queen Zhou shouted: "Who?"
"Empress Yi'an."
It was like seeing a ray of light in the darkness, and it was like the cold ice and snow that someone really brought charcoal fire. Queen Zhou was worried and didn't even think of this.
Who is Empress Yi'an? He was the one who personally promoted Chongzhen to the throne. At that time, under the instigation of Wei Zhongxian, Emperor Tianqi did not consider allowing Chongzhen to ascend the throne at all.
It was Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan who tried every possible way to push Emperor Chongzhen to the throne. Chongzhen also respected this elder sister-in-law and never dared to violate the imperial edict of Empress Yi'an.
If Empress Yi'an comes forward, many old ministers in the court will protect it. Perhaps Zhu Cilang still has a glimmer of hope.
As long as Emperor Chongzhen withdrew the imperial edict, Zhu Cilang would not return to the capital. Destroy Zhang Xianzhong and retake Sichuan. Only when the Ming Dynasty really had hope of revival, otherwise everything would be empty talk.
Queen Zhou was overjoyed: "Hurry, let's go now and set up a tour of Cining Palace."
Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan did not show too much surprise at the arrival of Empress Zhou. All of this seemed to be under her expectations.
Empress Zhou cried, and Empress Yian shook her head helplessly: "When will the emperor change his temperament? I think this child is born to me. The emperor is confused!"
Queen Zhou was delighted, "Sister-in-law, you must save Cilang and save our Ming Dynasty."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan sighed, "I don't know, do you think I didn't help? I sent someone to tell the emperor, and the emperor said that the emperor said he had his own sense of responsibility. Even I can't help you in this matter."
Empress Zhou was shocked, and even Empress Yi'an could do nothing. Emperor Chongzhen couldn't even listen to her advice. Then, who could save Zhu Cilang?
Queen Zhou was upset, and she couldn't think of any other way.
Fortunately, Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan said: "I have asked the post station to send a letter to Ci Yang. How can this matter end well? In the end, it depends on the emperor's attitude. Ci Yang has always been smart and has many counselors around him, so there have always been solutions."
Queen Zhou cried and said, "It's all here, what else can I do?"
Zhang Yan looked around and said to the personal palace servants around her: "All of you retreat."
You know, Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan has long stopped talking about the world. The palace maids around her are all old people, and they are all loyalists around Queen Yi'an. Even if they are cut into pieces, they will never betray their master.
Empress Yian has always been open and upright, and never shy away from this. But this time, she actually ordered everyone in Cining Palace to retreat.
Empress Zhou knew that the situation was serious, so she didn't dare to cry anymore. The palace people bowed one after another, and Zhang Yan looked at Princess Kunxing again: "Princess, you go down too."
Princess Kunxing pouted and did not dare to say anything else. She gave a hurried gift and turned around and left Cining Palace one after another.
Princess Kunxing, who was young, didn't know what the emperor's aunt was going to do. What was the important thing, and she wanted the emperor's aunt to talk to her mother alone.
The gate of the Cining Palace was closed, and the hall immediately became dark. Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan looked at Empress Zhou coldly: "Empress, I'll ask you, do you want a husband or a son."
Queen Zhou was shocked, not knowing what this meant: "Sister-in-law..."
"If you want a husband, let the prince return to Beijing. If you want a son, let the prince rebel."
As soon as this said, Empress Zhou felt her hair standing up all over her body. She looked at Zhang Yan in horror: "This, sister-in-law, you, you are joking."
Zhang Yan snorted: "The emperor is stupid and confused. If this continues, it will ruin my Ming Dynasty. If this is the case, it would be better to let the prince rebel. Invade Beijing City and let the emperor abdicate and give way to the wise."
When dealing with major events, it is important to be clear and able to make decisions, and when dealing with major events, it is important to be smooth and capable. In this regard, I have to admire the courage of Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan.
She clearly realized the shortcomings of Emperor Chongzhen. Although Chongzhen was a diligent emperor, diligent does not mean that you can be a good emperor.
Zhu Cilang, on the other hand, had the style of Taizu Chengzu. If he really wanted to save the Ming Dynasty, he would let Zhu Cilang lead his troops back. Since Chongzhen suspected that his son would rebel, Zhu Cilang would rebel.
Now Zhu Cilang has the capital to rebel, and it is possible that he can even seize the imperial power without bloodshed. First of all, the Liaodong Army was grateful to the prince, and it was Zhu Cilang who solved the Liao salary problem. Shandong general Li Shouyan was Zhu Cilang's man, and Shaanxi Sun Chuanting was Zhu Cilang's man. Zhu Cilang also had the 12th Regiment Battalion, which was born from the three major camps in the capital.
If Zhu Cixuan enters Beijing under the guise of clearing the king's side, most generals from all walks of life will surrender. Even the three camps in the capital will open the city gates to greet them.
