Unfortunately, Ming Dynasty did a bit too well in this regard.
So good that some literati have come to the point where they are basically people without kings and fathers. They only know how to criticize words.
But when these people are asked to solve some specific cases, these people are instantly at a loss. For them, they can only criticize, but solve things?
Sorry, that's not my expertise.
Of course, Chongzhen heard the news of the fall of Beijing as soon as possible.
When Wang Chengen told him the news with a sad look on his face, Emperor Chongzhen froze in place for a long time, staring blankly at the screen beside him.
His eyes were a little hollow, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, but Emperor Chongzhen always felt that his heart was empty.
Everyone else was scolding the prince, but only Chongzhen knew it best. He had no way to blame the prince.
Because the prince has tried his best.
If there had been no crown prince, Li Zicheng would have had no plan at all when he attacked Beijing and would have been unable to move the capital.
I can only stay in the Tai Chi Hall and think about how I should commit suicide, which would be a little more honorable.
At that time, Chongzhen thought a lot. In fact, he had already thought that he might also be one of the important issues in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The sudden appearance of the crown prince made Chongzhen seem to see a ray of light in the dark night.
The prince took some royal guards, summoned the militia, ransacked Zhu Chunchen's house, and after getting some money, he began to organize the militia to defend the city.
In the end, His Royal Highness was actually allowed to defend the city.
But even if Beijing is defended, there are still many problems.
Therefore, the prince took his newly formed personal guard and began to fight on his behalf.
In the end, I bought myself time to move south in dignity!
No matter from which angle you look at it, the prince has done a good enough job!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes flashed with a sigh.
At present, the fall of Beijing city can only be said to be the general trend...an outcome that cannot be changed by human forces!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen felt slightly lonely.
"Your Majesty... please cheer up..."
At this time, Wang Chengen, who was a little sad, looked at the silent Emperor Chongzhen and cautiously comforted him.
"Reviving the Ming Dynasty and exterminating the intruders all depend on you! Your Majesty! If anything happens to you, the Ming Dynasty will be over!"
Wang Chengen said to Emperor Chongzhen in front of him with a sad look in his eyes.
"Don't worry! I'm fine!"
Emperor Chongzhen sighed slightly.
"Go down and leave me alone for a while!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Wang Chengen retreated slowly, but he was still a little worried about Emperor Chongzhen's condition, so he quickly called Queen Zhou.
At this time, Queen Zhou walked to Emperor Chongzhen's side and gently held Emperor Chongzhen's hand.
"Your Majesty, don't be sad! Aren't we not defeated yet? We are still sitting in the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River, and my prince is still stationing troops in Shandong to accumulate strength. When our strength arrives, we will naturally defeat those bandits. Don't worry!
"
Queen Zhou looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a smile on her face and said.
"well!"
Emperor Chongzhen sighed slightly, looked at Queen Zhou in front of him and asked: "Queen, do you think I am a good emperor?"
"His Majesty is diligent in political affairs and has never been lewd or cruel. Of course he is a good emperor!"
Empress Zhou said to Emperor Chongzhen in front of her almost without thinking.
"But I, the emperor, really failed!"
Emperor Chongzhen had a wry smile on his face.
He looked a little lonely and said to Queen Zhou in front of him: "Although I am deep in the palace, I can still know some of the comments from the outside world.
I don’t seem to have done anything wrong, but I seem to have done everything wrong..."
Chongzhen sighed slightly, looked at Queen Zhou in front of him and said.
"Queen, I feel that Brother Chun is far superior to me in terms of ability and determination. I want to give up the throne to him! Perhaps, Brother Chun being the emperor will be more beneficial to the court and the people.
It’s a good thing…”
"Your Majesty! Don't!"
At this time, Queen Zhou in front of her quickly said to Emperor Chongzhen in front of her.
"Brother Chun is still too young! It is already difficult for him to deal with his own small business now. Your Majesty, you are still planning to put all the important responsibilities of the country, the country, and the country on him. How can you regret it?
!”
With a wry smile on her face, Queen Zhou looked at Emperor Chongzhen in front of her and said.
"Yes! Brother Chun is still too young! And he has been working hard to recover Xu Tu! But I am here decadent! Escape! It is really inappropriate!"
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen felt a surge of lofty ideals in his heart.
"Even if I want to abdicate, I must help the prince clean up this world before abdicating!"
Emperor Chongzhen said confidently.
"Your Majesty, please cheer up! For the sake of the whole world!"
"kindness!"
Chongzhen nodded, looked at Queen Zhou beside him with soft eyes and said, "Thank you Queen for reminding me, otherwise I would have almost become depressed!"
"Husband and wife are one body, Your Majesty, this is also the duty of a concubine."
Queen Zhou said to Chongzhen in front of her.
When the imperial court moved its capital to Nanjing, it followed due procedures and moved all its major institutions to Nanjing in an orderly manner.
Therefore, the situation of the imperial court is not very bad. It can be said that the power is still intact and the authority has not been lost.
However, the fall of Beijing still dealt a heavy blow to the authority of the imperial court.
However, the fall of Beijing was originally expected by most people in the south, because the Ming Dynasty had already moved its capital to Nanjing.
The city of Beijing was already in danger. Now that His Majesty has moved the capital to Nanjing, the city's defense strength has been greatly reduced, and its fall is not something unpredictable.
Therefore, after public opinion among the people in the south boiled for a while, the public opinion gradually calmed down.
Shandong.
Among the ports in Dengzhou Prefecture.
Zhu Cixiang stood on top of the port.
"Your Highness!"
After Shen Tingyang got off the boat, he quickly walked up to Zhu Cixiang and saluted Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
"Pingshen!"
Zhu Cixiang said calmly to Shen Tingyang in front of him.
"We have sent you two million stones of grain by your Majesty's order. Please accept it!"
Shen Tingyang said respectfully to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
Hearing Shen Tingyang's words, Zhu Cixiang showed a smile on his face.
Two million stones of food would definitely be enough for at least a short period of time. This was exactly the time when Zhu Cixi was most short of food!
After all, because the Qing army invaded Shandong two years ago, many productions in Shandong have now come to a standstill, and many official warehouses have lost their food.
