The ministers had no choice but to sign their names on it one after another.

After collecting enough signatures, Xie Sanbin submitted the memorial to the Imperial Household Department.

The Imperial Household Department immediately placed the memorial on Chongzhen's dragon desk.

After reading the contents of the memorial, Chongzhen took advantage and acted like a spoiled brat: "This... this is not good, right? How can the princes be in charge of the army? What if they take the opportunity to rebel? Wouldn't I be looking for trouble?"

Wang Chengen tried to hold back his smile as he explained, "Your Majesty, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures! Moreover, this is a joint petition signed by officials from the capital, so please think twice."

"Oh!" Chongzhen deliberately sighed, picked up the brush from the pen holder, dipped it in ink and wrote a red word "approved".

This word not only left a deep mark on the memorial, but also left a significant mark in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

When the news came out, the capital was shaken again.

The shock was even more violent than when Xuzhou was lost.

The crown prince rebelled, and Prince Ding took control of the army...

what does that mean?

This means that Prince Ding is likely to replace him and become the new crown prince.

Before this, the prince had lived in Nanjing for a long time, and the Beijing court officials had no chance to take sides.

Now that Prince Ding is about to enter the capital, they must seize this opportunity to take sides.

For this reason, many people wrote to Chongzhen, requesting that a palace be built for Prince Ding in the capital.

Some people secretly formed cliques and factions, planning to petition Chongzhen to appoint Prince Ding as the crown prince after the rebellion was suppressed.

Chongzhen didn't care about the actions of the officials in the capital.

Now he only cares about two things.

The first was to allow Zhu Cijiong to return to the capital safely, and the second was to completely wipe out the Jiannu with the Ping Liao army that was fighting in Korea.
