Zhu Youzhen's heart was upset.

Standing in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu You looked at the blue sky and was rarely in a daze. This is something that will only come to him if he thinks about it for a long time without results.

Quietly, I don't know how long it took, Wang Chengen whispered to Zhu Youzhen: "Holy Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you." ”

"Brother Hong'er is here?" Zhu Youzhen sighed lightly and said in his heart: "Are you here to see my father's joke?" ”

Although he thought so maliciously, Zhu Youzhen did not lose his calm and reason after all, and said to Wang Chengen: "Let him come in." ”

Zhu Cihong walked in slowly, saluted one by one, and said in a proper manner: "Father." Erchen thought that Gyeonggi was worry-free. Jiannu came here, just to plunder, not to fight a decisive battle in an attempt to swallow the whale. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhen raised his eyebrows, since ancient times, he has been the main battle faction, and he has always tried his best to pick out the dangers of the battle in front of him little by little, but he did not say it like Zhu Cihong. This made him a little unsure of what Zhu Cihong meant: "What does Brother Hong mean?" ”

"The sons are just doing their duty." Zhu Cihong said softly: "Laymen and even fools say that the Jurchen is not full of ten thousand, and it is invincible. This is all a lie, but it is only to undermine the confidence of the enemy. The Jurchens are indeed brave and fierce. But after all, it's not a demon or a monster, you can't kill it, and you can't kill it. In battle, you will die, you will be wounded, you will die of serious injuries. There are very few people in the Jurchen headquarters, and even if they try their best to draw out all the soldiers, they are only more than 100,000 strong. Therefore, his war potential determines that it is difficult for him to raise the strength to destroy the country. Although Huang Taiji was wise and resourceful, he tried to sinicize the Qing country. But this Qing country, to put it bluntly, still looks like a robber more than thinks about a country. ”

"Yes. Erchen judged. This time, I only saw that Abatai, who led the troops, came in to rob, not ...... Attempt to attack Gyeonggi. Whale swallows the Ming. So, Gyeonggi is worry-free. Zhu Cihong said this. Keep your head down and stop talking.

Zhu Youzhen finally understood what Zhu Cihong meant.

For the main battle faction, it is important to try to explain how dangerous and important the battle in front of them is. That can naturally increase one's own importance, and can contribute to the attitude of the court's main battle.

But on the other hand, the more important this battle is, the less chance there is for Zhu Cihong to lead the troops to fight. Even if all the talents of the empire are collected, there is no more suitable choice for the marshal than Zhu Cihong.

Because, this is Gyeonggi. It is the master of the Ming Dynasty, where the Son of Heaven is.

In such a place, let the prince be responsible for all the defense, the people are at ease, and the officials and the prince are at ease?

did not deliberately test the father-son trust that Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Cihong only saw, just talking about Zhou Yanru, he was particularly afraid of Zhu Cihong's military power. He has already offended Zhu Cihong to death.

In this way, it can be explained. Why did Zhu Cihong instead talk about the matter, and interpreted this Manchu invasion as a robbery by robbers. And the target is not such words as Jingshi.

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen slowly bowed his head and moved slightly.

If this is really the case, can Zhu Cihong attack?

I really have to say. Zhu Cihong chose this angle very well.

Just when Zhu Youzhen wanted to say something, he saw that another eunuch ignored Wang Chengen's surprise and rushed in and said to Zhu Youzhen: "Holy Lord." Shousuke-sama asks to see you. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong sighed softly.

He knows. Today's efforts can only go so far.

He said a little unwillingly: "Erchen ......"

"The emperor's mind, I understand. Let's go down first! Zhu Youzhen pressed his previous intentions. squeezed out a smile to Zhu Cihong.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong also understood that it was impossible to do it now, so he silently returned the salute and retreated.

Walking out of the main hall, Zhu Cihong saw Zhou Yanru who ran over eagerly.

It's just that Zhou Yanru was mindfully recalling the urgent news from Dong Tingxian, and after a particularly energetic discussion, Zhou Yanru tried his best to invite a big file in the palace ruthlessly, so that he got this opportunity to face the saint urgently.

You must know that compared with foreign ministers, Zhu Cihong, who lives in the palace, actually has a natural advantage.

This also shows the urgency of Zhou Yanru.

Seeing that Zhou Yanru was so anxious, Zhu Youzhen was both curious and expectant: "What's the urgency of the jade rope?" But the cabinet has already agreed to deal with the invasion of the Qing army? ”

Zhou Yanru said with a beaming face: "Holy Lord, the old minister has already figured it out. This time, it is the inconvenience of Qingguo's information, so I am afraid that there will be some misunderstandings. ”

"Mistaken ...... Misunderstand? The expression on Zhu Youzhen's face was a little unpleasant.

Zhou Yanru said to himself: "Your Highness, think about it." Zhao Qingsi, the director of the Ministry of Rites, has only been going east for a long time, and I am afraid that he has just arrived in Shengjing. Even Huang Taiji has the intention to destroy my Daming, but it is impossible to react so quickly, and twenty or thirty thousand people will enter the Ming Dynasty at this moment. After all, Na Abatai was stationed in Jinzhou City before. Such a time difference is obviously enough to prove that this is not the intention of the Qing soldiers! ”

Zhu Youzhen was a little disappointed in his heart. He thought that Zhou Yanru could be like Zhu Cihong, fighting the enemy wholeheartedly, and then there would be a Yu Qian of the Chongzhen Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the final result was still like this, and I was counting on this misunderstanding.

Although he was disappointed in his heart, the city government as the emperor still made Zhu Youzhen sink his heart and listen to Zhou Yanru's details. Zhou Yanru's guess was indeed correct, Huang Taiji did not make up his mind to try to conquer the Ming Dynasty after seeing Zhao Qingsi.

He just wanted to take advantage of the good opportunity of the autumn high horse fat, with the power of a big victory, to expand the results of the Songjin War. After all, at this time, the Ming Kingdom, which had lost the last main force of the field, was a baby with countless gold in the middle of the city, and whoever didn't want to grab one was a fool.

Of course, Huang Taiji at that time never expected that there would be a Zhu Cihong in the Ming Dynasty.

"What does the jade rope mean?" Zhu Youzhen was slightly tired.

Zhou Yanru, who was familiar with Zhu Youzhen, suddenly became distracted. This is a sign of Zhu Youzhen's impatience!

In an instant, Zhou Yanru understood that it was time for him to make up his mind.

At this time, what is the most critical thing for the imperial court?

Others don't know, but Zhou Yanru, who is in the game, still doesn't understand?

Now it's a power struggle. The victor will gain de facto military power in Gyeonggi and the following political power. The loser can only watch the other party grasp these powers and powers, and pray that the other party will not trouble him.

For Zhou Yanru, only by taking over the baton and vowing to solve the problem of the Tartar captives being admitted to the Kou, can he gain the favor of Emperor Chongzhen in the future, as well as the authority to be the first assistant!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Yanru prayed in his heart: Dong Tingxian must not mistake me......

Afterwards, Zhou Yanru bowed solemnly and said, "Your Majesty! Weichen invited out, with the position of first assistant, to Tongzhou in person. Solve the danger of entering the army! I also ask Your Majesty to grant you the post of Governor of Wechen, the power of the Gyeonggi Army, and the right to act cheaply! (To be continued.) )
