Loyal minister, this is also a very loyal minister!
The opinions of the three cabinet academicians are unprecedentedly unanimous. They are all loyal ministers who serve the country and the people. How could Emperor Chongzhen say that they are all ministers who have subjugated the country?This is not a misunderstanding.

"Good, good, good."

Zhu Cixiang nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Fan Jingwen, a bachelor of Dongge University. Fan Jingwen was in his 60s, with white beard and hair, and a thin figure. He looked like he hadn't eaten and was a little shaky. Zhu Cixiang glanced over and saw the old man's body. Just a little trembling.

"Scholar Fan, do you think I should supervise the country now, or should I ascend the throne now?"

Seeing that Zhu Cixiang actually asked him, Fan Jingwen looked down at the unconscious Emperor Chongzhen and the five martial arts masters who were almost controlling the situation and sighed, "Your Highness, the situation is now yours. Now you can supervise the country, or you can take the throne." However, the key is how to solve the situation in the Ming Dynasty. The intruders can attack Huanglong as long as they break through Juyong Pass, and the Tartars can attack the city as long as they break through Shanhaiguan. Only by solving these two situations can we continue, otherwise it will be impossible. It’s all talk.”

"Yes, this is exactly the reason. Nowadays, people in the capital are panicking. In addition, it is not easy to move south now. Most of the Central Plains has been lost. The officers and soldiers in the pass can only defend the city. And the officers and soldiers who defend the city are often afraid of intruders. If we wait for the intruder to calm down, we may be able to reach Beijing in six or seven days."

University scholar Li Jiantai also said at this time, "So even if the crown prince Qiansui ascends the throne, we will not object, but how to continue the Ming Dynasty in the future is the fundamental issue!"

These five cabinet bachelors are all sensible people!
In the morning court on January 17, [-]th year of Chongzhen, the five bachelors of this year, Li Jiantai, Wei Zaode, Fan Jingwen, Qiu Yu, and Fang Yuegong, were all loyal ministers!
"Okay, okay, okay, the five academicians are all heroes!" Zhu Cixi praised these people, "The five academicians are worthy of my Ming Dynasty. They are loyal and good, and they know how to share the worries of their father. However, what happened today is not what they were meant to do. According to the wishes of the palace, I am a person of pure filial piety. I do this to protect myself. I have to do it as a last resort. I believe that my father is in heaven...oh no, I will be considerate when I wake up later. And with us filial sons , Zhongliang has worked hard for our Ming Dynasty, and our Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to be great again and revive again!

As for my title as regent, my father will definitely write a decree when he wakes up. Why not write a document to support the army and serve as the governor-general of the direct military affairs. This prince is to care for the army when he goes out and supervise the country when he comes in. Now this In this situation, the two parties are attacking each other, so it is better to survive. I will try my best to support the southward movement. Naturally, I have to escort the southward movement first, and naturally I have to use the name of Fujun first.

But the central decree is always inconsistent with the procedures, so why not let the cabinet vote on it immediately? "

When Wei Zaode, the chief minister of the cabinet, heard the word "Zai Tian", he glanced at Emperor Chongzhen, who was still being palmed by the Supervisor of Ceremonies. The Superintendent of Ceremonies Bingbi and the two eunuchs were pinching Emperor Chongzhen. He then looked at Zhu Cixiang who looked confident and thought to himself. Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.

After Zhu Cihong said that he wanted the cabinet to vote immediately, he immediately replied, "I accept the decree. I will vote with a few bachelors to approve it!"

"Okay, then let the eunuch Gao Yushun, the eunuch who holds the seal, and Wang Chengen, the eunuch who holds the pen, come over."

Zhu Cixiang was talking here, and Gao Yushun and Wang Chengen who were still pinching Emperor Chongzhen below heard him. They gently put Emperor Chongzhen down and ran up all the way.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen was not unconscious for long at all. He heard all Zhu Cixiang's rebellious words clearly. He originally wanted to take action, but when he heard the words Zaitian, his heart skipped a beat, and he continued to pretend to be faint.

Wang Chengen and Gao Yushun knelt down in front of Zhu Cixiang as soon as they came up. They were panting, sweating profusely, and looked very anxious.

"Wang Banban, Gao Banban, take a pen and seal to help my father write a decree, and write that the prince will be appointed as Fujun and Governor-General of Military Affairs."

With that said, Zhu Cixiang took out a blank edict from his body. The two men caught it. After looking at each other, they both saw the resistance in each other's eyes. However, Wang Chengen tremblingly picked up the pen and I brought the pen, ink and inkstone I carried with me. After polishing the ink, I took the pen and started writing.Gao Yushun's eyes widened. He knew what it meant for Wang Chengen to write these things at this time. It meant taking sides. Isn't it good to decide to stand completely on the side of the prince now?

After all, Emperor Chongzhen hasn’t died yet?Could it be that Wang Chengen, an honest man, was really not afraid of Emperor Chongzhen, a stingy man, settling his scores in the future?
What Gao Yushun didn't know was that after Wang Chengen followed Zhu Cixiang to the Izumo Kingdom and conquered it, he knew that the future of the Ming Dynasty depended entirely on Prince Chitose.

After all, Mr. Chitose now has a small country with a population of more than 20 and a large area of ​​land under his control. This is a big retreat. In the hands of the prince, Mr. Chitose, the Ming Dynasty will not be destroyed no matter what!
Since he will ascend the throne in the future, what's the point of paving the way now?As long as the Ming Dynasty can continue to exist, this is not a problem!

"Okay, Gao Yushun, let's seal it!"

As soon as he finished writing, Wang Chengen seemed relieved, and passed the Zhongzhi to Gao Yushun who was stunned beside him with a blank face.

"okay!"

Gao Yushun reacted immediately and put the treasure seal he carried with him on the edict.

"Chitose, do you see?"

He presented the decree to Zhu Cixiang with a respectful look on his face, knowing that once his treasure seal was sealed, he would be dragged into the pirate ship and unable to get off.

Since they are all on the pirate ship, there is only one way to go to the dark side, one will be prosperous and one will suffer.

"Gao Banban, you did a good job."

Zhu Cixiang smiled, praised Gao Yushun, looked at several university scholars who said nothing, and said, "Now all I have to do is write a note on the edict and stick it on it, so that I can be the legitimate commander-in-chief of Fujun and Governor-General." Under military service!"

Now Zhu Cixiang has neither ascended the throne nor supervised the country. He just asked a few cabinet bachelors to fill in the votes for the imperial edict that had just been written and the ink was not dry yet. , Honorable nobles all have a clear conscience, and there is a palace coup happening right now!

Emperor Chongzhen didn't issue any edict at all. This thing was the result of the combination of the crown prince, several eunuchs, and cabinet bachelors.

This palace change came and went quickly. No one died, and the most seriously injured was only Emperor Chongzhen. But in fact, the impact it brought could cause a storm!
Because from now on, the most powerful man in the entire Ming Dynasty has changed from Zhu Youjian to his son Zhu Cixiang!
 The palace change is over.
