Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 8 Chongzhen's Response

Hao Guangming was startled when he saw it, he hurriedly supported Aimee Zhu, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"Suddenly dizzy and sleepy."

While speaking, Auntie Zhu's beautiful eyes opened and closed several times, as if her upper and lower eyelids were fighting, obviously trying her best to resist sleepiness.

In this situation, even though Hao Guangming supported the girl's body, he didn't care about it, but thought: Could this be the limit for her to cross?
So is it because her dizziness and drowsiness have reached the daily limit, or is it too frequent?

Thinking of this, Hao Guangming helped Aunt Zhu to a chair and said, "Sit down and rest for a while, and see if you can recover."

Auntie Zhu nodded and sat down obediently.

Then she fell asleep as soon as her head rested on the back of the chair.

But where would the back of the chair support her to sleep?
Soon her head slid off and she woke up again.

Seeing this, Hao Guangming said, "Why don't you lie down on the bed for a while?"

"Yes." Auntie Zhu responded lightly, her pretty face flushed slightly.

Seeing that she was about to move, Hao Guangming stopped her, "Wait until I make the bed."

After finishing speaking, Hao Guangming dug out an old quilt from the cabinet and put it on the bed, then sent out a new sheet, and put a new quilt on it.

Then she helped Auntie Zhu to bed.

Although Auntie Zhu trusted Hao Guangming, as a girl, she was still wary after all, and she didn't sleep without touching the bed.

Naihe's vigilance was no match for sleepiness, and after working hard for a while, she still fell into a deep sleep.

Hao Guangming pulled up a chair and sat in the room, using his mobile phone to search the Internet for more information about the late Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, he was thinking about what to do with this adventure.

···
Ming dynasty.

Hall of Martial Arts.

"The ministers Wang Guoxing, Li Ruolian, and Gao Wencai are meeting Your Majesty!"

Three men dressed in the official uniforms of Jinyi guards bowed to Chongzhen together.

Chongzhen scanned the three of them, and finally settled on Li Ruolian in the middle.

Although Li Ruolian was wearing a hat, it was hard to hide his frosty white hair.But judging by his kneeling posture, his body is obviously still strong.

"Li Aiqing, if I remember correctly, you are a Jinshi of the Wanli Wuchen Division, right? How long will you live this year?"

Li Ruolian didn't know what Emperor Chongzhen meant, so he answered directly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister is indeed a Jinshi of Wuchen in Wanli, and he is 78 years old this year."

Chongzhen nodded, but felt quite emotional in his heart.

Li Ruolian is so old, logically speaking, he should be retired and raised.

But in the past few years, he really had no one to use, so he had to let Li Ruolian take charge of Nanzhen Fusi, and not long ago, let him also lead the Minister of the Ministry of War.

This counts as reuse.

Li Ruolian died in battle and died for his country, but he didn't let him down.

"All three lovers, get up and answer."

The three stood up in response.

Among the other two, Wang Guoxing and Gao Wencai are both middle-aged.

Wang Guoxing is currently the commander of Jinyi's pro-army. It can be said that he is the most trusted person in Chongzhen. He is currently in charge of the defense of the imperial city.

Gao Wencai is Li Ruolian's subordinate, the official of thousands of households in Nanzhen Fusi.

Signaling Wang Chengen and the two eunuchs guarding the gate to keep an eye on the palace gate, Chongzhen said in a low voice: "I have received reliable news that Luo Yangxing has secretly informed the intruder, and now Li Aiqing and Gao Aiqing are going to arrest him with my will.

In addition, there is another decree here - Li Aiqing will take over the post of commander of Jinyiwei, and Gao Aiqing will take over the post of commander of Nanzhen Fusi. "

After finishing speaking, Chongzhen handed over the imperial decree that had already been written and sealed to Li Ruolian.

After Li Ruolian received the imperial decree, he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, I think Luo Yangxing has tried his best to defend the city for the past two days. Could it be that he made a mistake in secretly informing the robbers?"

It's no wonder that Li Ruolian questioned Chongzhen, it's that Chongzhen was too suspicious, and he had done too many things in these years.

Moreover, Luo Yangxing also participated in the defense of the city in the past two days. If he really communicated with the intruders, the intruders may have already breached the outer city by now.

Chongzhen really had already thought up his words, and said: "Maybe there is a mistake, but this matter is related to the safety of the capital, I would rather catch the mistake than let it go."

"I understand."

Li Ruolian said a word, and immediately bowed his hands and left.

Chongzhen thought: Luo Yangxing didn't understand Li Chuang, but according to what Mr. Hao said, he would surrender and become a slave in the future and be reused.

Jiannu is the great enemy of Ming Dynasty in the future——Since Luo Yangxing may surrender Jiannu, he cannot keep it.

Because as the commander of Jinyiwei, if Luo Yangxing voted for Jiannu, the harm to Daming would be too great.

After Li Ruolian and Gao Wencai left, Chongzhen said to Wang Guoxing: "The safety of the imperial city is entrusted to Aiqing."

Wang Guoxing immediately knelt down and said, "I will defend the imperial city to the death!"

Chongzhen helped Wang Guoxing up, and called Wang Chengen over, saying: "Wang Zhixin has a lot of corruption, Jinyi's army sent people to cooperate with Wang Daban to search him."

Hearing this, Wang Guoxing and Wang Chengen couldn't help but tremble.

Because they are also greedy.

They didn't know how Chongzhen confirmed that Wang Zhixin was corrupt, so they were naturally afraid.

After all, Chongzhen had been emperor for 17 years, and when he noticed the change in the expressions of the two, he guessed what it was.

He is so poor that he really hates all corrupt officials in his heart.

But he also knows that there are too few courtiers who are not greedy.

With the current situation, it is impossible for him to arrest every corrupt courtier, otherwise there would be no one available.

So he said to Wang Chengen: "Wang Daban just go and investigate, no matter what you find out, I will take care of it for you."

Wang Chengen thought of Chongzhen's various irresponsible behaviors in the past, and he didn't believe Chongzhen's words in his heart.

But he was really loyal to Chongzhen, even though he knew it might hurt himself, he still responded: "I obey the order."

When Wang Chengen and Wang Guoxing left, Chongzhen couldn't help but look around the hall and muttered, "Why did you go so long this time?"

Then his mind turned to other things.

He didn't let Zha Wang Dehua, because Wang Dehua is currently the admiral of the East Factory, and also supervises the military (director army) of the internal and external armies, and the eunuchs who assist in the city defense are also under his command. .

He was going to wait for Luo Yangxing and Wang Zhixin's affairs to be finished before removing Wang Dehua and arresting him.

Chongzhen waited for a long time, but Zhu Wei still did not come back, but Fan Jingwen, Ni Yuanlu, Li Banghua, Shi Bangyao and others who had been in charge before came one by one.

But Chongzhen did not expect that Fan Jingwen, the only cabinet minister among these people, was helped in by someone.

Seeing Fan Jingwen's haggard appearance, as if he was about to die, he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with Fan Qing?"

Captain Yi Jinyi, who supported Fan Jingwen, said: "Long live, Fan Ge's old family said that he hasn't eaten for nearly three days."

Fan Jingwen knelt down and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, the minister is useless...you can't retreat from the enemy...so that the capital is in danger..."

Seeing that Fan Jingwen was weeping bitterly and couldn't speak a word, Chongzhen could not help crying because of his grief.

But when he thought about his daughter's adventure, he was not completely desperate, so he sighed: "Come here, help Fan Qing to rest aside, and then give Fan Qing a bowl of porridge."

In fact, he hasn't had a good meal for a day or two since he broke into the city and besieged the city.

With the crisis of national ruin and death weighing on his heart, he didn't feel hungry at all.

Looking at the rest of the people, Chongzhen hesitated a little and said: "Ni Yuanlu and Li Banghua listen to the order, and I order you two to join the cabinet immediately.

In addition, the chief assistant Wei Dezao was dismissed, Chen Yan was also expelled from the cabinet, and Fan Jingwen temporarily took over the post of chief assistant. "

After finishing speaking, Chongzhen handed over the imperial decree written while waiting for others to Li Banghua.

Li Banghua accepted the order subconsciously, and then he couldn't help admonishing: "Your Majesty, the situation is extremely critical now that the burglars are besieging the capital. Such a wanton change of cabinet ministers is not conducive to the stability of people's hearts."

Chongzhen frowned when he heard this, and said in a loud voice: "It is precisely because it is an extraordinary time that we have to do extraordinary things! As for the instability of people's hearts, is it possible to stabilize people's hearts without changing cabinet ministers? Or, in this critical moment, love Qing Don’t you dare to take on the heavy responsibility of a cabinet minister?!”

"I have absolutely no such intention!" Li Banghua expressed his position first, and then said: "I accept the order!"

Chongzhen nodded, but took out a written imperial decree and handed it to Li Banghua, saying: "In this decree, I have named you the Crown Prince Taibao, Governor of Gyeonggi, commanding all military forces inside and outside the capital, and asked Ni Yuanlu to assist you."

Having said that, Chongzhen also took a look at Ni Yuanlu, and said: "I hope that the two lovers will try their best to defend the capital, even if it is impossible to defend the capital, I will have more hope for Daming if I defend it for one more day!"

The two of them didn't know why Chongzhen said that, but they felt Chongzhen's encouragement from the words, and their hearts were also cheered up.

Immediately led the decree together and said: "I will do my best, and I will die!"
