Regarding the suggestion of moving south, Li Banghua had already mentioned it to Emperor Chongzhen several times.
But many times they were denied by Emperor Chongzhen. Otherwise, they would have moved south to Nanjing long ago.
Where would things like today still happen?
After pondering for a moment, Li Banghua looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him and said: "Your Highness, now that Li Zicheng has just retired, it would be inappropriate for us to bring up the matter of moving south to His Majesty at this time..."
"Let's not mention it today! Let's mention it tomorrow!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Li Banghua in front of him and said.
After hearing what he said, a wry smile flashed in Li Banghua's eyes.
No, is there much difference between mentioning today and tomorrow???
At least Li Banghua couldn't tell.
But Li Banghua also agrees with Zhu Cixiang's idea. Indeed, the city of Beijing is now undefeable. Bandits and the Qing court can easily surround Beijing. This is simply unbelievable for the capital of a country.
.
"do not worry!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at the worried look on Li Banghua's face.
He smiled, looked at Li Banghua in front of him and said lightly: "I will tell my father about moving the capital first. You can talk to my father at the meeting tomorrow! It will be a matter of time!"
"clear!"
Hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Li Banghua was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and nodded.
"Beijing is now undefendable. In fact, Nanjing is not a good choice either."
Zhu Cixiang looked at Li Banghua in front of him expressionlessly and said.
"Your Highness, the south is rich and there are many loyal ministers. After recuperating in the south for a while, we can rebuild the country!"
Li Banghua looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said.
"Rebuilding the country?"
A sneer flashed across Zhu Cihong's face.
He looked at Li Banghua in front of him expressionlessly and said: "Where is the place for our royal family in the south now? Aren't they all occupied by you local big families and officials' families? Don't think I don't know that the entire south,
The world is dominated by aristocratic families!
How serious the land annexation is, the Censor shouldn’t be unaware of it!”
Hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Li Banghua had a look of embarrassment on his face, and a trace of hesitation in his eyes. He looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and opened his mouth, and finally fell silent. He didn't know how to defend himself.
"I will not go to Nanjing!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Li Banghua in front of him expressionlessly and said.
There was a hint of surprise in Li Banghua's eyes.
"Your Highness, do you want to defend Beijing City?"
Li Banghua looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him with a trace of hesitation in his eyes and asked.
"Of course it's impossible. I don't have any power in my hands. Should I stay in Beijing and wait for death?"
Zhu Cixiang said expressionlessly.
Hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Li Banghua was shocked. He looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
He heard what he meant from Zhu Cixiang's mouth.
This is to abandon the defense of Beijing!
Li Banghua was silent for a while,
He opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
"Okay, Mr. Li, please tell others what I said! Just say it is my intention. Regarding the matter of moving the capital, I will also mention it to my father first!"
"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Li Banghua nodded.
After saying that, Zhu Cixi didn't stay here any longer, and turned around and returned to Chengguo Duke's Mansion.
To be honest, he didn't know why. Ever since he traveled through time, he felt that the palace was too depressing, depressing and cold, and it was not suitable for him at all.
On the contrary, Zhu Cixiang was quite interested in the Chengguo Palace that he had gained this time.
"Master Ni Yuanlu just took away 300,000 taels of silver as a pension for the dead soldiers."
When Zhu Cihong came to the accountant's office, he heard the accountant's words and nodded expressionlessly.
There is nothing much to say about this money.
At this moment, Zhu Cixiang's mind was spinning rapidly.
People like Li Banghua and Ni Yuanlu are not bad at handling government affairs and are very loyal. However, these people actually lack the overall situation and are very rigid in some aspects.
More importantly, these people are more loyal to their own emperor father.
Such a person is not suitable to follow you.
Lack of talent!
Zhu Cixiang frowned slightly and rubbed his temples. Soon, he thought of someone.
By the way, there is him!
Wu Zong!
Zhu Cixiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and light flashed in his eyes.
This person is called the prime minister who saves the country. Many of his ideas have a big-picture perspective, and this person is not rigid at all.
He was very talented and capable. He served as the Second Assistant to the Cabinet for the first two years. However, due to some things, he offended Chongzhen and was demoted to Yunnan.
This person is suitable!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang's light shone brightly. He had no choice. There are not many talents in Beijing now, so he had to find a way to cultivate them himself!
You have to have people come to your side to assist you. Otherwise, you can't let yourself be responsible for every detail. Then sooner or later, you will die of exhaustion.
Looking at it this way, Wu Zong is actually quite suitable, and Zhu Cixiang has thought about the position well. Although the position of Prince Shaobao is a false one, it is just right for Wu Zong.
But before letting him come over, Zhu Cixiang had to convince his cheap dad first.
After Zhu Cixiang glanced at the account book next to him, he didn't look at what problem he was dealing with.
"Let's go! Go back to the palace!"
Zhu Cixiang said to several palace maids and eunuchs on the side.
The Jin Yiwei next to him found a sedan chair and carried Zhu Cixi towards the Forbidden City.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! His Royal Highness is back!"
At this time, in the Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Chongzhen was talking and laughing with Prince Yong, Prince Ding, Princess Changping, and Empress Zhou, celebrating and repelling Prince Chuang.
I heard that the biggest siege prince in this battle is back.
There was a smile on everyone's face.
"Quickly, let the prince come here!"
Emperor Chongzhen showed a long-lost smile and said to the eunuch beside him.
"Father! The emperor brother is finally back! The emperor brother has worked so hard this time! I heard that the emperor brother even came to the battle in person!"
Princess Changping on the side said to Emperor Chongzhen in front of her.
"Yeah yeah!"
Emperor Chongzhen said with a somewhat complicated look.
At the age of the Crown Prince and Princess Changping, it was his father who should have protected them from the wind and rain, but in the end, the Crown Prince, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, had to protect him from the wind and rain...
Emperor Chongzhen felt a little unhappy.
At this time, Zhu Cihong had already entered the Qianqing Palace under the leadership of the eunuch.
Looking at the palace full of people, Zhu Cixiang was slightly startled.
"My son, I have met my father, my mother, my queen! I have met all of you empresses!"
Zhu Cixiang saluted everyone in front of him.
"No gift!"
Chongzhen waved his hand towards Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
