My father is Chongzhen? Then I have no choice but to rebel.

Chapter 100 Chongzhen: I have cooperated with you in this way, and you still want to drug me?
Seeing Qin Liangyu standing there in a daze, Fang Zhenghua quickly reminded her in a low voice:

"General Qin, it's time to receive the order."

Under normal circumstances, a general who was granted the title of marquis should be called Marquis, but Qin Liangyu was a female general, so the title of Marquis was obviously inappropriate.

So Fang Zhenghua could only continue to call Qin Liangyu General Qin.

Qin Liangyu finally reacted, and then excitedly took the imperial edict and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, your servant Qin Liangyu, accepts your imperial decree and expresses gratitude. Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long, long live Your Majesty!"

At the same time, the surrounding white-pole soldiers also woke up and were filled with ecstasy!
Their female general was actually conferred the title of Marquis!

This is truly the first time in history!

Although the imperial edict did not explicitly mention their reward, the ten taels of silver mentioned earlier would not be lost.

You have to know that these soldiers who came from poor backgrounds only earned ten taels of silver a year.

Unexpectedly, the emperor gave each of them ten taels of silver, which was almost as much as their annual military salary.

At once, all the white-pole soldiers cheered:

"Long live your Majesty! Long live! Long live!"

"Long live your Majesty! Long live! Long live!"

"Long live your Majesty! Long live! Long live!"

Listening to this overwhelming cheer, Chongzhen suddenly felt that this title was truly worthwhile.
Then, surrounded by the crowd, Chongzhen went to Qin Liangyu's camp.

In the camp, Chongzhen sat in the first seat, while Zhu Cilang stood beside him with a well-behaved look on his face.

There was no other way. In front of outsiders, Zhu Cilang still had to create the image of a kind father and filial son to demonstrate the royal style.

Chongzhen was secretly delighted when he saw that his rebellious son had lost his former charm in front of outsiders.

But of course, Chongzhen didn't want to cause trouble now. After all, solving the problem in Xuanfu was the top priority.

Thinking of the incident in Xuanfu, Chongzhen asked:
"General Qin, you should already know about the situation in Xuanfu, right?"

Qin Liangyu nodded, her expression instantly becoming extremely indignant:

"My subordinate Ma Xianglin has already reported this matter to me."

"I never imagined that the governor of Xuanfu, the general, and other officials would collude with merchants to smuggle grain and other supplies for the Jiannu."

"These people are so shameless, they deserve to die!"

Chongzhen also sighed:
"I never thought these people would dare to do this. They have always been my ministers who I have placed great hopes in, but I never thought they would betray the Ming Dynasty and me."

"I will not tolerate this matter. I will kill them all."

"Cough cough."

However, Chongzhen had just said half of his words when Zhu Cilang next to him suddenly coughed lightly.

Chongzhen reacted instantly and realized that this was his rebellious son reminding him.

Then he changed his words:
"Of course, I also know that not everyone is involved. Some soldiers must have been bewitched."

"Therefore, this time, only the main culprit will be punished, and the rest will be appeased. In short, Xuanfu cannot be in chaos!"

After hearing this, Qin Liangyu's eyes involuntarily looked at the Crown Prince Zhu Cilang next to her.

She noticed that Emperor Chongzhen's reaction was a little unusual, as if he was afraid of the prince?

This made her feel very confused. After all, the prince was only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, still just a child, and the emperor was in his prime. How could he be afraid of the prince?
This is probably an illusion.
At this moment, Chongzhen continued to follow the plan previously formulated by Zhu Cilang and said:

"General Qin, in order to better handle the affairs of Xuanfu, I have issued an imperial decree before leaving, appointing you as the Governor of the Three Borders, and having you inspect the three important border towns of Datong, Xuanfu, and Jizhou."

"This imperial edict will arrive in Xuanfu tomorrow at the latest."

"This way you can lead your troops to Xuanfu legitimately without arousing anyone's suspicion."

Qin Liangyu thought about it and agreed that this was a good idea.

After all, if Xuanfu knew nothing and she suddenly rushed there with a large army, it might cause unnecessary conflict.

Therefore, it is better to notify Xuanfu first.

Thinking of this, Qin Liangyu hurriedly bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Chongzhen continued:

"The large army marches too slowly, so I want you to take the cavalry to Xuanfu to control those civil and military officials who are secretly colluding with the Jiannu. When my army arrives, we can capture them all at once."

"how do you feel?"

Qin Liangyu thought about it and still felt that this plan was feasible.

If she took the cavalry ahead, she could reach Xuanfu in three days at most.

The remaining White Spear Soldiers will reach Xuanfu in about five days, which is only two days less.

As long as she can take advantage of these two days to control the civil and military officials of Xuanfu, and then wait for the emperor to arrive, there should be no trouble in Xuanfu.

Then, Qin Liangyu bowed again and said:
"Your Majesty is wise and wise, and I obey your orders!"

When Chongzhen heard this, he felt bitter in his heart, because these ideas were not thought up by him, but by that rebellious son!

I have to say, this unfilial son is really smart.

He is really ashamed of himself for this!
At this moment, Zhu Cilang beside him suddenly said:

"Father, have you forgotten something else?"

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and looked at Qin Liangyu and said:

"By the way, General Qin, take the Crown Prince with you this time. With the Crown Prince guarding the area, even if those people have rebellious intentions, I believe they won't dare to act recklessly!"

When Qin Liangyu heard this, her scalp tingled for a moment. There were some things she had wanted to say just now, but she had never known how to start. But now she had to say it!
Then, Qin Liangyu could only bite the bullet and say:

"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate!"

"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince should not leave the capital at the same time. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to allow the Crown Prince to return to the capital to supervise the country."

In history, there has never been a case where the emperor and the crown prince went on an expedition at the same time. Although this is not strictly speaking an expedition, it is absolutely impossible to bring the crown prince and the emperor together!

If something really happened, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty be in complete chaos?
Then Qin Liangyu would become a sinner for all eternity!

After hearing this, Chongzhen sighed in his heart. He certainly knew what Qin Liangyu was worried about, and he also knew that doing so was against the rules.

But what can he do?

This matter was not something he could decide. Besides, what that rebellious son said was right. If they really wanted to take action against Xuanfu, only he, the emperor, could suppress those border troops!
After regaining his composure, Chongzhen looked at Qin Liangyu with a hint of majesty in his tone.

"General Qin, don't worry about this. I have already made all the arrangements for the capital. There won't be any trouble."

"As for the Crown Prince, I also want to take this opportunity to give him some experience, so there is no need to mention this matter anymore."

"Just obey my orders!"

Seeing this, Qin Liangyu knew that it was useless to persuade him any further, so she could only nod helplessly.

"In that case, I obey your order!"

"I will go and gather the troops now!"

Chongzhen nodded.

After Qin Liangyu left, Zhu Cilang looked at the others and said:

"You guys go out first. No one is allowed to approach within ten steps. Li Hu stays!"

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed and retreated, leaving only Li Hu behind.

Soon, there was no one within ten steps of the tent, and ten steps away were Zhu Cilang's personal soldiers.

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cilang, and for some reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Then he looked at Zhu Cilang with some doubt and questioned:
"Rebellious son, what do you want to do now?"

Zhu Cilang didn't say anything, but just took out a few small bottles from his pocket again.

When Chongzhen saw this scene, his face turned ashen instantly.

He is so familiar with this thing!

The next second, he glared at Zhu Cilang and said:

"Rebellious son! What are you doing? I didn't tell you about your rebellion just now! But now you want to drug me? This is too disrespectful of me!"

Facing Chongzhen's questioning, Zhu Cilang just smiled faintly and handed the bottle to Li Hu behind him.

Then he said:

"Father, don't be angry. I'm just preparing a backup plan. After all, I'm about to follow General Qin to Xuanfu, and I'm really worried about whether you'll cause me any trouble along the way."

"I can guarantee that as long as you behave yourself and don't cause any trouble along the way, Li Hu won't do anything."

"But if you insist on doing something for me on the way, Li Hu will make you drink the medicine."

"But you can rest assured, these medicines will not harm you. They will only make you sleep for a few days and nights. By the time you reach Xuanfu, you should be fine."

After hearing this, Chongzhen was speechless for a moment.

He didn't expect that Zhu Cilang still didn't believe what he said before, and thought he would cause trouble along the way.

This is really unfair to him!

In this situation, what else can he do?

Zhu Cilang continued:
"Father, please don't blame me. After all, this matter involves the future war situation of the Ming Dynasty, so I must be more cautious."

"For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I have to ask you to bear with it for a while."

For the sake of the Ming Dynasty!

It seems like you are the only one who is worried about the Ming Dynasty. Don’t I, the emperor, care about the Ming Dynasty?
Thinking of this, Chongzhen was furious again, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, Li Hu, who was standing by, didn't know whether to add fuel to the fire or to show his loyalty to Zhu Cilang. He looked directly at Chongzhen and said:
"Your Majesty, please behave yourself during this journey, or I will be rude to you."

Chongzhen became even angrier and waved his hands:

"Get out, get out!"

Not only was he angry when he saw this rebellious son, he was even angrier when he saw his personal soldiers!
Soon, Qin Liangyu had dealt with the affairs outside.

She herself brought 3,000 cavalrymen, and Zhu Cilang brought 1,000 personal soldiers and 1,000 Jinyiwei, a total of 5,000 cavalrymen, who went to Xuanfu first.

The rest of the people all followed the main force to Xuanfu.

After everything was ready, everyone went to pay a visit to Chongzhen first and then set off.

A journey of nearly 400 miles might take about five days for infantry, but for cavalry, it could be reached in two or three days.

At the same time, Xuanfu.

The Jinyiwei who were previously sent to Xuanfu by Zhu Cilang finally delivered the imperial edict to Xuanfu.

They changed horses but not people along the way, and the 400-mile journey was completed in less than a day.

When they received the imperial edict, Wang Chengyin, the general of Xuanfu, and Guo Zhicong, the governor of Xuanfu, were both stunned.
