Upon hearing Yang Sichang's request for an audience, Chongzhen slowly put down the memorial and said:

"pass!"

"According to the order!"

Lao Wang turned around and exited the Qianqing Palace, and soon brought Yang Sichang in.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen, Yang Sichang immediately bowed and saluted:

"See Your Majesty!"

Chongzhen smiled slightly:

"Without any ceremony, I will give you a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Yang Sichang thanked him, he carefully sat on the stool with his lower buttocks, ready to get up and reply at any time!

Yang Sichang was definitely Chongzhen's favorite minister. If it weren't for Zhu Cixiang's existence, he might have become the Minister of War.

In history, Yang Sichang failed to quell the rebellion and was impeached by hundreds of officials. Chongzhen actually did not deal with Yang Sichang and allowed him to continue suppressing bandits. This shows how much Chongzhen favored him.

In the end, Yang Sichang completely failed in quelling the rebellion and committed suicide. He did not surrender to the bandits, so he was considered very courageous.

But in history, both Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng were suppressed by him, and even Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle had something to do with him.

As soon as Yang Sichang sat down, Chongzhen asked:

"Why do you want me to see you?"

Yang Sichang hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, I'd like to speak frankly. Since ancient times, the crown prince has not led the army. Now the crown prince not only commands the world's troops, but also has a fierce fight with the civil servants and generals.

Lu Xiangsheng, Secretary of the Ministry of War, belongs to the Crown Prince, and Sun Chuanting has already paid attention to His Highness. Just now, I watched with my own eyes as the Crown Prince led the generals of the national defense army to escort Sun Chuanting out of the city.

The Crown Prince has such great talents and strategies at such a young age. Your Majesty will surely be a wise king a hundred years from now. However, Your Majesty is in the prime of his life. At this time, I would like to entrust the troops and horses of the world to His Highness. I think it is inappropriate. Please think again!"

Yang Sichang thought that the position of Minister of the Ministry of War that he had obtained was lost, and he was very unconvinced.

He did not think that Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng were better than him. He was a little impulsive and relied on Chongzhen's favor for him to dare to say this.

Chongzhen did not expect that Yang Sichang would dare to say these words to him. Wasn't this trying to sow discord between him and the crown prince?

If a minister whom Chongzhen disliked dared to say this to Chongzhen, Chongzhen would definitely dismiss him and go home to farm.

He stared at Yang Sichang for a long time without saying a word. At this time, Yang Sichang also felt that he had made a mistake. He suddenly felt a chill on his back and hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground:

"Your Majesty, I am guilty and should not have spoken nonsense. Please punish me!"

If it were in the past, Chongzhen might have accepted Yang Sichang's words, but it was different now. The prince was the reincarnation of the Ziwei Emperor Star, and his pressure dropped sharply after he was imprisoned.

Killing corrupt officials and rectifying the capital not only brought him money, but also defeated the slaves. Emperor Chongzhen did not think that anyone else could do it except the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor Xing.

Since the Ming Dynasty has improved significantly under the crown prince's governance, Chongzhen will definitely let the prince continue. He does not want to hand the prince a precarious Ming Dynasty in the future, otherwise how will he meet his ancestors.

Seeing Yang Sichang kneeling in front of him and trembling, Chongzhen finally spoke:

"Yang Sichang, the Jian slaves invaded the capital and wreaked havoc in the capital. King Qin's troops fled in the face of the wind. I handed over the military power to the prince. The prince led the weak Jing camp to defeat the jian slaves many times. Finally, he annihilated the invading jian slaves and made an unparalleled contribution in the capital. Is the prince at fault? ?

The prince is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. Sooner or later, my country will be handed over to the prince. He is protecting his country, country and people. Is it wrong for the prince to do this?

Yang Sichang, you have the ability to defeat the bandits, destroy the Jiannu, and regain Shenyang. I can entrust the soldiers and horses of the world to you. Can you do it?

As long as you promise to do it, I will immediately issue a decree and confer you the title of Grand Marshal of the Army of the World. If you cannot defeat the bandits and destroy the Jiannu and regain Shenyang by then, I will destroy your nine tribes..."

Chongzhen finally understood that anyone in the Ming Dynasty who had the ability to do practical things would be impeached by the civil officials. If he did not do anything, he would be in peace. Even the crown prince was not immune, not to mention other capable ministers and generals.

Emperor Chongzhen scolded Yang Sichang mercilessly. This was the first time he blamed his most admired minister. Yang Sichang was so frightened that he lay on the ground shivering and did not dare to refute a word.

Yang Sichang could think that he could lead his troops to defeat the rogue bandits, but he failed to wipe out all the rogue bandits. As for the battle against Jiannu, he had no chance of winning. It was almost impossible to pacify Jiannu and regain Shenyang.

Can the crown prince do it? Yang Sichang thinks it is also impossible, but the crown prince can afford to lose. At least Emperor Chongzhen will not exterminate the prince's clan. Does Yang Sichang dare to guarantee it with the lives of his entire clan? Absolutely impossible!

Faced with Chongzhen's anger, Yang Sichang could only kowtow and admit his mistake:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am guilty. I should not speak arbitrarily to Your Highness. Please punish me!"

Chongzhen felt that he had seen the wrong person again. He waved his hand to Yang Sichang and said:

"Yang Sichang, you are no longer suitable to be an official in the court, pack up and return home!"

Chongzhen directly sent Yang Sichang back to his hometown in one sentence, which was actually indirectly protecting Yang Sichang.

If Yang Sichang continues to serve as an official in the court, Chongzhen can guarantee that the crown prince will soon take action against him. That child will not rub sand in his eyes!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"

Yang Sichang thought that Chongzhen would definitely take back his military power after hearing the fierce fight between the crown prince and the ministers. Then his opportunity would come, but he didn't know that Chongzhen's sister Zhu sent him back to his hometown.

Yang Sichang felt so regretful that he really wanted to slap himself in the mouth!

Being able to join the cabinet was the dream of many officials in the Ming Dynasty, but he was kicked back to his hometown for selfishly speaking nonsense about the crown prince...

After Yang Sichang left, Chongzhen thought for a while and decided to assign a few civil servants to the prince. Otherwise, Zhu Cihong would be surrounded by military generals. He was worried that a group of warriors would really cause trouble.

"The decree is passed, Yang Tinglin is appointed as the Zhanshi of Zhanshi Mansion, Yang Shicong is appointed as the Young Master of Zhanshi, Ni Yuanlu is named the Young Master, and Fan Jingwen is appointed as the Young Master to assist the crown prince in the James Mansion!"

Zhu Cihong did not expect that Emperor Laozi had already set up a team for his James Mansion. After sending Sun Chuanting away, he immediately held a military meeting at the former Jingying garrison, now the headquarters of the National Defense Army.

Zu Dale and other generals of King Qin had already led their troops back to their respective bases after the sealing. However, Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army was merged into the National Defense Army by Zhu Cixiang, but remained in Tongzhou untouched.

All the staff generals and above of the National Protectorate Army in Beijing attended this military meeting. Lu Xiangsheng and his younger brother, who had been promoted two consecutive levels and became deputy generals, also attended this important military meeting.

Zhu Cixiang sat on the main seat, looked at the two rows of generals below and said:

"My generals, the Ming Dynasty has been revived and the country is unified. We are waiting for our struggle. I have decided that starting today, the various departments of the National Guard Army will be officially expanded. The recruitment standards are for those between sixteen and thirty years old. They will be eliminated strictly according to the standards when the East Palace Guards were first built.

.”

"Zhou Yuji listens to the order!"

Zhou Yuji immediately stood up and saluted:

"The end is here!"

"The Mighty Camp has been expanded to 5,000 people. You can recruit soldiers among the refugees in the capital. If you meet skilled craftsmen, you can also accept them and send them to the War Bureau."

"Here"

Zhou Yuji took the order and returned to sit down.

Zhu Cixiang looked at Sun Yingyuan:

"Sun Yingyuan listens to the order!"

Sun Yingyuan hurriedly stood up and saluted:

"The end is here!"

"Long Tengjian has expanded its recruitment to 50,000, and can recruit troops in the Gyeonggi region and disaster-stricken areas in various provinces. The standards are the same as those of the Weiwu Camp!"

"Here"

Thousands of people were expanded to 50,000 at once. Sun Yingyuan was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear and hurriedly accepted the order to retreat. I like the Ming Dynasty. The prosperous age started from the prince's supervision. Please collect: (https://www.myxls.net) The Ming Dynasty started from the prince's supervision.
