Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

"The dog emperor is indeed cautious."

Luo Hu also deeply agrees with this.

"We have been in Nanjing for so long,"

"It's because I didn't wait for a decent opportunity."

As for the first and only assassination, it was ignored by the two brothers.

Because it was a failed assassination, neither brother bothered to mention it.

Luo Yi snorted softly, and said cursingly: "As the saying goes, only a thousand days can be a thief, and there is no thousand days to guard against a thief. I don't believe that he can always be so cautious. One day he will be negligent and slack off. At that time, it will be him. time of death."

Luo Yi and Luo Hu, who were lowering their heads and talking softly, did not notice that a strong man with the appearance of a porter was squeezing out from an alley not far behind them.

Moreover, one arm of the strong man was tucked into the skirt of his clothes.

And the inside of the placket is bulging, and there is something hidden at a glance.

It wasn't until the strong man squeezed past the two of them that Luo Hu and Luo Yi realized the abnormality.

"Brother!" Luo Yu's pupils shrank sharply in an instant, reminding Luo Hu in a low voice.

Because Luo Chan is a secret spy, he is particularly sensitive to secret spies.

Luo Yi saw at a glance that there was a pistol hidden in the placket of this strong man.

"This is an assassin! He wants to assassinate Chongzhen in the street!" Luo Yi whispered.

"Shut up!" Luo Hu gave Luo Yi a hard look, telling him to mind his own business.

Luo Yi swallowed the scolding that spit out to his mouth, and then watched the strong man squeeze to the edge of the crowd with some difficulty, then took out a pistol from the inside of his clothes and pointed it at the front fake Chongzhen.

"Idiot." Luo Hu cursed in a low voice, followed by a bang.

"Oh!" Yi Ding, who was riding in the middle, screamed and fell off his horse.

The pupils of Luo Hu and Luo Yi shrank instantly, because the assassin was not hitting the false target at the front of the team.

"There are assassins, escort!" Afterwards, more than a hundred riders Yi Ding rushed forward, protecting "Chongzhen" on horseback in the middle of the horses.

The pedestrians on the street fell into chaos in an instant.

The assassin put away his pistol and wanted to run away, but just as he turned around, he was hit hard on the back of the neck, and immediately fell down on the street with black eyes.

In less than a moment, the pedestrians ran away.

Only fruits such as apples, pears, and candied haws were scattered all over the floor.

What's more, the burly man who died alone on the ground, his pistol also fell out of his clothes.

"Catch it." Wu Tan waved his hand fiercely, and even two Yi Ding stepped forward to set up the strong man, and then a group of people rescued the fallen "Yi Ding" and went straight to the Imperial College.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Gao Qi rushed into the Yilun hall in a scrambling manner.

"Long Live Lord? Long Live Lord!" Gao Qiqian yelled loudly as he rushed inside, his voice filled with endless fear, and it could be seen that his fear was not feigned.

"What does it say, what does it say?"

"It's been less than half an hour since our family left Long Live Lord's side,"

"Why did this happen? How did this happen?"

Chongzhen, who was watching Fu Shan treat Ba Hanzhen's shoulder wound, scolded angrily: "Okay, don't cry, it's as if I have died."

"Long live, are you alright?"

"Oh, that's really nice."

"Long live, if you have something good or bad, the old slave will die."

Gao Qiqian rushed to stand in front of Chongzhen, and wiped away his tears.

If this were replaced by someone with less knowledge, such as Chongzhen when he first ascended the throne, or young emperors like Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Youxiao, Gao Qiqian's operation would definitely be bluffed.

But the current Chongzhen two lives have already seen through the hearts of lovers in the world.

Expecting a eunuch whose life is cut off to empathize with an emperor like you?dream.

The only exception may be Wang Chengen, but eunuchs like Wang Chengen are rare after all.

But Chongzhen didn't expose Gao Qiqian, as long as he knew what was going on, there was no need to expose it.

"Okay, don't cry, I'm fine." Chongzhen waved his hand and said again, "However, this assassination is still a bit unusual, the assassin's gun was clearly aimed at me at the time, if it wasn't for Ba Hanzhen who blocked it for me This shot was really hit by the assassin, even if he was not killed on the spot, he would definitely be seriously injured."

Gao Qiqian immediately took advantage of the topic and said: "Long live, this matter is really not trivial. This old slave suggests to immediately reset the Dongji Incident Factory and Jinyiwei, reopen the imperial prison, and thoroughly investigate this case."

Gao Qiqian felt that this time, most of his wishes would be fulfilled.

If there is no accident, he should be able to become the owner of Dongchang this time.

Thinking that after becoming the factory owner of Dongchang, I can live the days before that just a slight cough can make all the civil servants tremble with fear, and I feel very happy.

That is the life that eunuchs should live, instead of having to go around when meeting civil servants like now.

"Eunuch Gao." Chongzhen turned his head, looked at Gao Qiqian with a half-smile and said, "Otherwise, you will be the admiral and eunuch of the East Police Factory, and Jinyiwei will be controlled by you as usual after the reset?"

"Long Live Lord, if you can trust..." Gao Qiqian had just finished speaking halfway before suddenly recalling that Chongzhen's tone of speech was not normal, it seemed to be ironic?Immediately, he waved his hands in panic and said, "Long Live Lord, this old slave didn't mean that. The old slave said this for the sake of the safety of Long Live Lord, so as to avoid things like today happening again in the future."

"Gao Banban." Chongzhen asked suddenly, "You didn't know that someone would assassinate tonight, did you?"

Chongzhen really doubted Gao Qiqian, because tonight's assassin was able to accurately find him out of more than 100 barbarians, which is very unusual.

He would not believe it if there was no ghost among the eunuchs beside him and Yi Ding.

According to this logic, Gao Qiqian is of course very suspicious, he may not really want to assassinate, but just to create panic and force him to reset the factory guard prison, so that the good days of these great eunuchs will come back.

"Long live Lord." Gao Qiqian was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a puff, and kowtowed again and again, "I am wronged, this old slave is wronged. If this old slave knows that someone will assassinate tonight, he will not leave no matter what. I will stay with Long Live Lord, even if I risk my life, I will block this bullet for Long Live Lord."

Gao Qiqian was already frightened into incoherent speech, talking nonsense.

Chongzhen snorted coldly and said, "Knowing that someone wants to assassinate, you actually didn't report it, but just wanted to use your body to block bullets for me? You want to claim credit so much, do you want to be kind to me?"

"This..." Gao Qiqian was dumbfounded, "This old slave didn't mean that."

"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't have the guts, or you would have been shot for a long time."

Chongzhen beat Gao Qiqian a few words, and said: "Don't mention the reset of factory guards again. If you dare to mention this matter again in the future, I won't be polite to you anymore, and I will directly kill you!"

"You eunuchs will stay in the palace obediently as errands."

"As long as you work diligently and do your job well, I won't treat you badly with the title of title."

"But if you still think about power and position, if you still want to go to the localities to collect money for the guarding eunuchs, and if you still want to restore the old days of riding on the heads of ordinary people and dominating the people, then you are looking for death."

Speaking of this meal, Chongzhen said again: "You will not have such an opportunity when I am alive, and you will still not have such an opportunity when I am dead, because before I die, I will give Huang Mingzu a lesson. The last one, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the factory guards will never be reset, the prison will never be reset, and the guards or admirals will never be sent to the local eunuchs!"

In a word, eunuchs should stay with the emperor as domestic slaves, and it is impossible for eunuchs to be in power again.

Because looking through the history books of China, good eunuchs like Zheng He are rare, but eunuchs like Zhao Gao, Zhang Rang, and Wei Zhongxian are too numerous to enumerate, so the group of eunuchs tends to be negative on the whole. The risk of letting eunuchs take power far outweighs the benefits, so letting them stay in the palace as domestic slaves is the best result.

"Long Live Lord, this old slave knows his mistake." Gao Qiqian was already trembling with fright.

At this point, Gao Qiqian really has no idea of ​​seizing power at all, nothing else, Long Live Lord has really illuminated thousands of miles since he realized Taoism in Meishan, and no small thoughts can escape his eyes.

"It's good to know your mistakes." Chongzhen snorted and said again, "However, this assassination case still needs to be thoroughly investigated, and a special agency needs to be established to thoroughly investigate this case, otherwise, there will always be hidden secrets around me. If such a group of people would assassinate me in the street every now and then, I wouldn't be able to stand it."

Gao Qiqian didn't dare to answer casually anymore.

Because he knew that even if such a special institution was established, it had nothing to do with eunuchs like them. From now on, he would honestly stay by Long Live Lord's side and be a house slave with peace of mind.

If you're lucky, you might be able to become a eunuch king.

After pondering for a while, Chongzhen called Huang Zongxi to Yilun Hall again.

After seeing the ceremony, Huang Zongxi asked again with concern: "Your Majesty, I heard that you were assassinated again on Chaoku Street?"

"It's true, and the assassin found me out of more than 100 barbarians without any difficulty." Chongzhen said with a serious face, "It's thanks to Ba Hanzhen who blocked the shot for me."

"There is such a thing?" Huang Zongxi said suddenly, "In this way, there must be spies around the Holy One."

Hearing this, not only the eunuchs like Gao Qiqian, Lu Jiude and Wang Chengen, but also the Yiding generals such as Wu Batan and Meng Ketu all became very embarrassed.

Because they are the people who always follow the Holy One.

But Huang Zongxi didn't care what Gao Qiqian and Wu Batan thought.

Huang Zongxi was originally an upright brother, but since he became a member of the supervisory department, he has become even more upright. Even in front of Chongzhen, he would talk about it without caring about other people's face.

At that moment Huang Zongxi said with a dark face: "My lord, this case needs to be investigated to the end."
