Suiyuan Governor Zhu Tongmeng was summoned to Beijing and brought a home to Beijing with only a few soldiers. Conservative officials such as Sun Shenxing immediately had nothing to say, but expressed strong opposition to Zhu Yinglong's personal visit. Zhu Tongmeng just went to Beijing to report his duties, and did not win the victory and triumph. According to the rules of his ancestors, the emperor should not come out to welcome him personally. This is contrary to etiquette and law. What etiquette and law? Zhu Yinglong hated this thing the most. He used to be the king of faith, but he had to be trembling, for fear that the wrong move would lead to attack from the eunuch party. Now he is the emperor and the master of the world. In his eyes, etiquette and law are a major cancer that restricts social progress. Moreover, Zhu Tongmeng resolutely entered Beijing. This move is more important than winning a triumphant victory, so why can't he go out to welcome him?

Zhu Yinglong also knew that he could not force these old guys too much, so he had to rely on them now, so he took a step back and did not go to greet him in person. He just stood on the city gate tower and watched, and asked the Minister of Rites Xu Guangqi to welcome him into the city on his behalf. This made the stubborn Old Man Sun and other conservative officials reluctantly agree.

When Zhu Tongmeng saw Zhu Yinglong wearing a dragon robe standing on the Zhengyang Gate Tower to greet him, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, knelt in front of Zhengyang Gate, crawling forward, and burst into tears. This is a etiquette that even the generals who have been in the triumphant reign can get. Unexpectedly, he, who is known as the eunuch, has obtained it. For this reason, he can rest assured his eyes to death.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Zhu Yinglong said this, and Zhu Tongmeng was so moved that he burst into tears, thanking him endlessly.

Zhu Tongmeng's return directly led to the resignation of officials from many provinces in Jiangbei to the Beijing court, Shandong, Hebei, Anhui, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and others to express their acceptance of the leadership of the Beijing court, and the situation gradually improved. The next step was a large-scale transfer of officials. Zhu Tongmeng was awarded the title of Prince's Grand Tutor by Zhu Yinglong, wearing a Qilin garment and was transferred to Shandong Governor Zhang Wo, Henan Governor Zhang Wo continued to be transferred to Suiyuan Governor, Shaanxi Governor Hu Tingyan was transferred to Henan Governor, Shanxi Governor Cao Erzhen was transferred to Shaanxi Governor, Li Yingsheng was transferred to Shanxi Governor from Shang Bao Siqing, and his position was transferred to Shanxi Governor by Yuan Chonghuan.

Han Du, the former chief minister, took over the role of the governors of Jizhou, Xuanfu, Datong, Shuntian, Tianjin, Penglai and other places. Except for the governors of Penglai, Sun Yunhua, the governors of other places, the positions of governors in other places have basically been moved. The governors of Shandong, Fengyang, Jiangsu, and Anhui governors were all eunuchs, and they basically abandoned their official positions and fled to Nanjing. In this way, some people would have to make up for the vacant few governors. So Zhu Yinglong immediately appointed Liu Hongxun, who was summoned to Beijing as the governor of Anhui, Li Biao as the governor of Fengyang, and Qian Longxi as the governor of Jiangsu, so he controlled the small half of the country north of the Yangtze River.

Sun Shenxing and several other old ministers didn't like Zhu Tongmeng very much. When they saw the emperor transferring him to Shandong, they all breathed a sigh of relief, asking them to work with Zhu Tongmeng to kill them. Although they also saw that under the guidance of Zhu Tongmeng's banner, some of the wait-and-see officials who were waiting and watching put down their concerns and formally loyal to the Beijing court, this achievement was indelible.

Wei Zhongxian, who had just arrived in Nanjing and had not breathed, was not willing to be outdone. He announced that the orphan of the late emperor, Zhu Cirui, the prince of the late emperor, was appointed as the new emperor. Then, in the name of the new emperor, he issued an imperial edict, ordered Wei Zhongxian to supervise the country, the empress dowager to obey the government, Cui Chengxiu joined the cabinet as the chief minister, basically all officials who followed Nanjing were promoted to one level, and the fastest one was Qian Qianyi. He turned out to be just a small editor of the Hanlin Academy and a lecturer in the imperial lecture. Wei Zhongxian followed Cui Chengxiu's advice. Jiangnan is the world of the Donglin Party. To gain a foothold here, he must win over some people in the Donglin Party, and Qian Qianyi is the best candidate. Previously, the leaders of the Donglin Party were either killed or pulled to Beijing by King Xin.

Now the Donglin group has the highest prestige in Jiangnan. Cui Chengxiu knows Qian Qianyi very well. He has a strong desire for power and wants to be an official. He is crazy. As long as he is a high-ranking official, he can win over a very different part of the Donglin Party members. If he meets the Donglin Party members, he will be pushed out and let them fight in the internal struggle. They will reap the benefits of the fisherman. Therefore, Cui Chengxiu rejects the opposition and pulls Qian Qianyi into the cabinet, and adds him as the title of Prince Taibao to serve as the Ministry of Revenue. For a time, Qian Qianyi became the most bare-handed and powerful figure in the Nanjing court. Some Donglin Party members who are unknown in the key thought that they can regroup and invest in Qian Qianyi's name. For a time, Wei Zhongxian has gained a firm foothold in Jiangnan.

After Huang Zunsu learned the news, he was so angry that he scolded Qian Qianyi, who was willing to be Wei Zhongxian's lackey for his high-ranking official, wealthy salary, power and fame. Zhu Yinglong disagreed. There is a very strange phenomenon in Chinese history, that is, the most backbone person is the literati, and the most backbone person is also the literati. Qian Qianyi obviously belongs to the latter.

Mao Wenlong promised to send troops to attack Liaoyang and other places, forcing Huang Taiji to withdraw his troops, but he was in charge of the court's demand for one million military pay. He was fearless and was afraid. Zhu Yinglong, who was so angry, could give him one million taels of silver, but he could only give half of it first, and then give him the other half. This is like the court used money to buy his own general to fight. Is there any national law? If it weren't for the strategic location of Pi Island that was too important, killing him would bring immeasurable consequences. Zhu Yinglong was willing to kill Mao Wenlong.

The situation in Ningyuan became increasingly severe, and the food was decreasing day by day. Huang Taiji attacked several times and discovered the secret of Ningyuan's shortage of food, so he surrounded him and refused to attack. He wanted to wait until Yuan Chonghuan was so evil that he would open the city gate and surrender obediently.

Man Gui was in a hurry three times a day, and Zhu Yinglong kept urging Mao Wenlong to send troops as soon as possible, but Mao Wenlong used the excuse of insufficient military salary and food, so he did not send troops. Zhu Yinglong had no choice but to promise to give him one million taels of military salary at one time, which was the only time he had to change his promise to send troops today.

"Emperor, Huang Taiji attacks Ningyuan, he will not be prepared for Mao Wenlong on Pi Island at all. If Mao Wenlong fails to hit a single blow, the consequences will be unimaginable." Sun Chengzong vaguely worried and reported to Zhu Yinglong.

"What does the old director mean?" Zhu Yinglong pondered. He had already experienced Mao Wenlong's greed and rebelliousness. After Ningyuan's siege was lifted, even if Mao Wenlong was not killed, he could not leave this person on Pi Island. He had to find other talents. Pi Island should never be lost.

"The court must send another reinforcement to rescue, so as to make a decision." Sun Chengzong looked at the map and thought carefully.

Zhu Yinglong paused for a moment and asked, "Who will be sent and how many soldiers will be sent?"

"The old minister means, means..." Sun Chengzong lowered his head and pretended to think.

"There is only one person right now. Could it be that the old dean really want to do this?" Zhu Yinglong glanced at Sun Chengzong, frowned and said for him.

"Your Majesty, it's not necessary to leave such a person to the court. Besides, with his friendship with Yuan Shishi, no one is more suitable than him as the commander of reinforcements." Sun Chengzong heard that the emperor had already understood his thoughts, and he had no worries when he spoke.

"Where is the soldier?" Zhu Yinglong asked. He had been persuaded by Sun Chengzong. Since he could not push people out at once, let the world discover it himself. It would be more abrupt than annoying that was announced at once.

"Now the governors and governors of all northern provinces have been loyal to the emperor, so this soldier naturally does not need to worry too much about the emperor." Sun Chengzong explained.

"What if this soldier is better?"

"The old minister thinks that if there are no more soldiers, 30,000 is enough."

"Okay, you will do the task of dispatching troops. Draw from several palaces around the capital. Be sure to gather together in Shanhaiguan within three days. I can issue an order to let Xiongba (Xiong Tingbi's pseudonym) lead troops out of the pass to Ningyuan." Zhu Yinglong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, should you give him an identity?"

"Just let's be the general of Ji Town. Didn't Cui Chengxiu's younger brother run away? Was he caught him?" Zhu Yinglong thought about it and asked.

"It seems that not yet. The Ministry of Justice has found someone to draw a portrait and issued a document to arrest the country. "Sun Chengzong said with a head-on.

"This person must be caught, and it is not easy to remove the arrest document after being caught. I am useful." A thought flashed through Zhu Yinglong's mind. He didn't catch it for a while, so he ordered first.

"The old minister understands." Sun Chengzong lowered his head.

"I heard that Wu Sangui, the second son of Wu Xiang, the captured general of Jinzhou, went to the Ministry of War to ask you to send him to Ningyuan to save his father, right?"

"There is such a thing. Wu Sangui is Wu Xiang's second son. He is appointed as Dong Qichang, the former Minister of Rites. This son does not like to practice literature and only likes to practice martial arts. He is also a rare talent!" Sun Chengzong said objectively.

"Since that's the case, let him serve in front of the army." Although Zhu Yinglong had a bad impression of Wu Sangui, he was not angry with the beauty yet. He was willing to fall into depravity as a traitor who led Qing soldiers into the pass. Such talents should not be abandoned, and he was not the original Zhu Youjian, so why can't Wu Sangui's fate be changed?

"Your Majesty, what if Wu Xiang?" Sun Chengzong hesitated.

"What is Mr. Sun meant to be afraid that Wu Xiang would surrender to the Later Jin?" Zhu Yinglong also lowered his head and thought. If according to the original history, there were very few generals of the Ming Dynasty surrender to the Later Jin at this time, Wu Xiang could be considered a brave general. The court treated him very well. Although he was captured, he would not surrender to the Later Jin immediately.

"Wu Xiang once asked Wu Sangui to be the eunuch of the army supervisor Gao Qiqian as his adoptive father, in an attempt to climb up this level of relationship, and now Gao Qiqian has been captured together. Just as the new king succeeded to the throne, the emperor not only abolished the East Factory, but also withdrew all eunuchs from the army supervisor and prohibited eunuchs from interfering in government affairs. At this time, people are unpredictable, so the emperor should carefully consider whether to use this son!"

Zhu Yinglong was so confused that Sun Chengzong said that he was unable to make up his mind.

As time passed by minute by minute, Zhu Yinglong felt that talent was rare. If Wu Sangui had no talent, he would not be able to be the general of Shanhaiguan. Zhu Yinglong decided to meet Wu Sangui before deciding whether to let him serve in the army.

The emperor insisted on doing this, and Sun Chengzong could not do it either. He also knew that the emperor loved talents as much as his life. As long as he had a skill, no emperor would let him go.

After Sun Chengzong left, Zhu Yinglong ordered someone to call Xiong Tingbi and told him the decision he had just discussed with Sun Chengzong. After hearing this, Xiong Tingbi did not say a word and immediately took the order and prepared.

Zhu Yinglong met Wu Sangui, who was one year younger than him in the side palace. Everyone said that Wu Sangui was one of the rare handsome men. At first sight, he was so handsome. No wonder Chen Yuanyuan fell in love with him at first sight. Zhu Yinglong felt a little ashamed of himself.

"My minister Wu Sangui respectfully invites the Holy One."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I heard that you have learned a good martial arts and shoot good arrows. How about staying by my side as a guard commander?"

"I would like to forgive my crimes. It's not that I don't want to do so, but my father is now captured by Jianqi, and Sangui, the son of his son, must go and save him!"

"Does your father only have your eyes, and I, the king and father?"

"Sangui doesn't dare, but the emperor has no hidden worries about safety now. Many guards have many martial arts skills, so Sangui still begs the emperor to let Sangui rush to Ningyuan with the army to rescue his father."

"Your information is quite well-informed. You know so quickly that I want to send troops to Ningyuan?"

"Sangui doesn't dare. Sangui just came from the Ministry of War." Wu Sangui hurriedly knelt down and explained.

"I heard that you have gone to the Ministry of War to yell and make trouble these days, but is there any such thing?" Zhu Yinglong asked deliberately lowered his face.

"Your Majesty, Sangui didn't yell and make trouble, but was worried about his father's safety. He went to the Ministry of War to inquire about the news ahead every day."

"Do you know that I just received a secret report that your father, Wu Xiang, the general of Jinzhou, has surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty!"

"What, this is impossible. Sangui begs the emperor to investigate in detail and never mistakenly believe the rumors." Wu Sangui was so scared that he kowtowed.

"Who can I believe in my ministers?"

"Emperor, the Later Jin Emperor Taiji is thousands of times more cunning than his Nurhaci. The emperor must not fall into his trap of discord!" Wu Sangui was also smart and immediately took over the words.

Zhu Yinglong wanted to test it further, stood up from the imperial throne, walked over and helped Wu Sangui up and said, "Is it Huang Taiji's plan of alienation? It's not something you can believe me by saying this. What are you going to prove to me?"

"If my father really surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, Sangui is willing to take his head and offer it to the emperor, and then decide on his father's spiritual throne before!" Wu Sangui said firmly, tears were already flowing. It seemed that he had already believed Zhu Yinglong's words.

"Okay, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time. I will give you this opportunity to prove that I am wrong or you are wrong. If I am wrong, I apologize to you, but if you are wrong, how should you treat me?" Zhu Yinglong patted Wu Sangui's shoulder and asked heavily.

"Sangui is willing to offer Sangui's head to admit his mistake to the emperor!" Wu Sangui knelt down and said.

"Okay, I believe you, you will go to General Xiong to report tomorrow." Zhu Yinglong said.

"Thank you for your accomplishment!" Wu Sangui kowtowed and left.

"You have become the emperor, it is indeed a good method. In this way, if Wu Xiang really surrendered to me, the Later Jin Dynasty, he would definitely commit suicide to thank you for your kindness. If Wu Xiang did not surrender to me, the Later Jin Dynasty, you would be grateful to this person named Wu Sangui, and you will be loyal to you from now on. Such a talent cannot be used by me, the Later Jin Dynasty. It's a pity!" Da Yu'er clapped her hands and walked out from behind Pingfan and said in a regretful tone.

"Why did you appear here? Come and take her down to me, first whip ten times, and then take me seriously, and don't let her go out of the room!" Zhu Yinglong felt extremely bad when he saw Da Yu'er. Her husband was attacking the country under his control. She was still here to spend time at this time. If anyone else was so angry, he shouted to the guards at the door of the side palace.

Suddenly, two big inner guards rushed in from outside the hall and suddenly took Da Yu'er out. Da Yu'er was so angry that she kept struggling and resisting under the hostage of the two big inner guards. Her face was flushed and red, and she couldn't speak. How could she know that Zhu Yinglong's temper suddenly changed? In the past, she wouldn't be angry no matter how she said Zhu Yinglong.

I don’t know what happened, but Zhu Yinglong became this emperor, his temper became worse and worse, and his heart could not calm down for a moment.
