When Zhu Cilang returned to the palace from Deshengmen, he received an extremely enthusiastic hug from Emperor Chongzhen.

"It's true that I am my son. I know that you will definitely not let me down!"

Zhu Cilang smiled with a haha, his eyes wandering on Chongzhen's face, and suddenly he felt a little confused.

Why does this cheap dad seem to have cried?

Chongzhen seemed to notice Zhu Cilang's gaze, and coughed unnaturally, saying, "Yan'er, you must be very tired after a day of fighting. Come on, let's have a meal!"

Emperor Chongzhen's daily meals were actually very simple, especially when Li Zicheng's army was besieging the city, he tightened his belt even more. However, today's meals were very sumptuous, and it seemed that he should have said hello.

Looking at the delicious food, Zhu Cilang was feasting and didn't care about it.

But we can feel that Chongzhen's attitude towards Zhu Cixuan was obviously much better.

That night, Zhu Cilang slept very peacefully.

Early the next morning, Zhu Cixuan had just woken up and saw Wang Chengen's face.

Zhu Cilang immediately realized that something must have happened.

Sure enough, the next moment, Wang Chengen spoke: "Your Highness, your Majesty, let you go to the Imperial Study immediately!"

Zhu Cixuan rubbed his eyes and asked, "Lao Wang, what happened?"

Wang Chengen did not hide it and said directly: "That's right, the messenger of Liaodong General Wu Sangui has just entered the capital!"

Zhu Cilang was surprised: "Wu Sangui!?"

It turned out that the news of Wu Sangui was here. No wonder Emperor Chongzhen was so anxious that he asked someone to come to Zhu Cixuan.

When Zhu Cilang heard this name, his mood was very complicated.

What kind of person Wu Sangui is always controversial in history books.

Some people say that he betrayed the Ming Dynasty and was an absolute traitor.

Some people say that although he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was still lost and returned to the scene, which is still worth it.

Some people say that he is selfish and everything is for his own benefit, and he has no sense of family and country in his heart.

Some people also say that he was a very evil person, but he was an absolute traitor who deserved to be killed in the nine clans.

Zhu Cilang did not want to evaluate Wu Sangui, but what Zhu Cilang knew very clearly was that in history, Wu Sangui did not appear outside the city until the city was captured.

On the day when Chongzhen hanged himself and died, Wu Sangui was still far away in Shiguan City, which was 250 kilometers away from Beijing City, which was 500 miles away!

What does such a long distance mean?

This shows that Wu Sangui doesn't really want to come to rescue Beijing City at all.

Considering that the butterfly effect of Zhu Cixuan, a time traveler, can only ferment in Beijing for the time being and will not affect the Liaodong and Guanning Army, it is basically certain that there is no difference between Wu Sangui now and Wu Sangui in history who is unsuccessful.

Unreliable!

Zhu Cixuan used his brains to think, and washed up as quickly as possible, and then ate dry food while rushing to the imperial study room in a carriage.

Zhu Cilang has also been used to this kind of life where God will give great responsibilities to this person in the past few days.

At the age of fifteen, the recovery ability is amazing. No matter how tired you are the day before, as long as you get up, all your fatigue will disappear.

In the imperial study, several cabinet ministers, British Duke Li Guozhen and other military leaders, as well as two major ritual giants, Wang Chengen and Wang Huamin, were there. Of course, Emperor Chongzhen is indispensable.

Zhu Cixuan looked around and found that everyone had happy expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they had high hopes for Wu Sangui.

As for the Guanning Army, now the last battleable army in the Ming Dynasty, I can understand it.

Chongzhen was also very happy to see Zhu Cilang arrive, and smiled at Zhu Cilang and said, "Yao, the news I just received, Wu Sangui, the general of Ji Liao, has led a large army to Tongzhou and will arrive in the capital soon!"

Li Guozhen also said excitedly: "As long as the troops of Xibo arrived, the Ming Dynasty could fight against the bandit army inside and outside, and the siege of the capital would be lifted!"

The relationship between Li Guozhen and Wu Sangui is also very good. The two people are not very different in age. The Li family and the Wu family are family friends. You can lift me and I will lift you. In short, it is very harmonious.

Chongzhen and Li Guozhen's ideas were obviously supported by most of the people present.

Although Li Zicheng has only been surrounded by Beijing for a few days, everyone's moods are ups and downs. Now that he has some hope, he should not look forward to it wildly?

Zhu Cixuan looked at everyone like this and felt that he had to pour some cold water on these guys.

Zhu Cixuan said calmly: "If you really think this way, you might be very wrong. If I was not wrong, at least within five days, Wu Sangui's troops would never appear under the city of Tongzhou."

After hearing Zhu Cixuan's words, everyone present was stunned.

It is indeed as Zhu Cilang had guessed before, his words made everyone's mood begin to fall.

Chongzhen frowned and said to Zhu Ciyang with some doubts: "Yan'er, why are you so sure?"

Li Guozhen couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, Tongzhou City is not a big city, and the people in the city are all looking forward to our Ming Dynasty. As long as Ping Xibo's army attacks the city, it will be a response, and Tongzhou will inevitably be conquered. At that time, Ping Xibo will continue to advance westward and will arrive at the capital in at most two days."

Zhu Cilang shook his head and said calmly: "Xiangcheng Bo, of course I know what you said. But I want to remind Xiangcheng Bo that if we look at the distance between Shanhaiguan and the capital, Wu Sangui should have arrived outside the capital long ago, and could even arrive with Li Zicheng.

However, what we know now is that Li Zicheng had been besieging the capital for so many days before Wu Sangui arrived late to Tongzhou.

To be honest, this made me doubt whether it would be smooth if he attacked Tongzhou, or whether he would be willing to go smoothly!"

After listening to Zhu Cilang's words, everyone present changed their expressions.

Everyone is not stupid. Zhu Cilang's words are very obvious, that is, he thinks that Wu Sangui is unfaithful!

For any minister, the crime of "disloyalty" is definitely the most severe accusation.

Li Guozhen's face also changed drastically, and he couldn't help but say, "Your Highness's words are wrong! Perhaps Ping Xibo was delayed by Jiannu when he marched, or perhaps it was blocked by Li Zicheng's other troops.

Now that the situation is not yet determined, Your Highness is accusing Ping Xibo in this way, and there are still some, some…”

When Li Guozhen talked about it, he suddenly remembered that Zhu Cixuan had saved his life, so the originally tough counterattack suddenly became stuttering.

It is said that people are soft-hearted and have short hands, so Zhu Cilang saved his life, which made Li Guozhen completely unable to get up.

It's very embarrassing.

Looking at Li Guozhen with an awkward look, Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Brother Xiangcheng, although the opinions between you and me are indeed a bit disagreeable, this is not targeting you in this matter.

The facts are right in front of us. If it weren't for the continuous repelling of Li Zicheng's multiple attacks by our capital, it would be hard to say whether Wu Sangui would appear in Tongzhou at this time."

In this chaotic era, Zhu Cilang's standards are actually very simple.

Those who can be buried for the Ming Dynasty can be used even if they are not capable enough.

The swaying, surrendering, or even just some controversial ones recorded in historical books are not needed!

There are tens of millions and hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, but are you still missing?

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Cilang speculated Wu Sangui with the greatest malice from the beginning.

It’s not a negative impression, but rather kill the wrong one than let it go!

Wu Sangui is completely useless for Zhu Cilang, it’s that simple.

This palace has a system, who am I afraid of?

After hearing Zhu Cixuan's rebuttal, Li Guozhen's face turned pale. He suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, then please allow your Majesty to quietly go out of the city to meet Ping Xibo, so that he can appear outside Beijing as quickly as possible. In this way, he should be able to prove Ping Xibo's innocence for Your Majesty and Your Highness!

If I have not returned tomorrow afternoon, I will either die or Ping Xibo is as unintentional as the prince said. By that time, I will have nothing to say."

Li Guozhen and Wu Sangui are family friends, so he is also willing to do something for Wu Sangui.

Chongzhen pondered for a while, and he actually wanted to know whether Wu Sangui was loyal, so he nodded very happily and said, "Then do it like this!"

After Chongzhen finished speaking, Zhu Cilang's eyes became strange when he looked at Li Guozhen.

After a moment, Zhu Cilang sincerely told Li Guozhen: "Be careful on the road, don't lose your life!"

I just don’t know if Li Guozhen can listen to this sentence.
