Before hanging himself, Chongzhen lifted the table

Chapter 3 The Coffin Book

"Long Live Lord sent an edict to summon Wang Cheng'en, and rushed [-] miles to send him to Founder?"

At the Lijian Yamen, Wang Zhixin, the eunuch eunuch and Dongchang Admiral, wearing a red python robe, showed a very surprised expression. He looked at the little chamberlain who came to report the news and confirmed again.

Generally speaking, the eunuch who holds the title of Chief of Ceremony is the most trusted eunuch of the emperor, and is also known as the internal minister.If the emperor had anything to do, he would discuss it with him.

But this time, Emperor Chongzhen didn't even ask the Chief of Ceremonies about the eunuch's thoughts. He just summoned Wang Chengen. Even Fang Zhenghua, who was in Baoding, was summoned eight hundred miles away. This must be some big deal. He also didn't ask the eunuch, the eunuch responsible for the ceremony, for advice. This was definitely an abnormal thing.

After Wang Zhixin received the affirmative reply, before he had time to think about the meaning behind this unusual edict, he heard the young chamberlain report to him again: "Ancestor, Long Live the Lord raised the dragon case easily."

"What?" When Wang Zhixin heard this, he frowned. He thought he heard wrongly, so he asked again, "What did Qianqian mention?"

"The Long Case with the memorial in front of Long Live Lord was easily mentioned by Long Live Lord!"

When Wang Zhixin heard this, he immediately hummed loudly, showing his dissatisfaction: "Huh?"

He had served Emperor Chongzhen for so many years, and even if he knew a few hairs on Emperor Chongzhen's body, this little chamberlain dared to come in front of him and tell him that Long Live the Lord could bring up the dragon case. Was he so tired of living that he thought he would believe it?If your brain is caught in the door, you won't make it up like this, right?

Seeing that he was angry, the young chamberlain was so frightened that he knelt down and laid his head on the ground. His voice trembled and he spoke quickly: "Even if you have the courage, you will not dare to deceive your ancestors. Long live the Lord, it is so easy." The Long Case was raised, and many people saw it."

After hearing this, Wang Zhixin stared at the back of the little chamberlain's head without saying a word.

Logically speaking, the people below would not have the guts to lie to him with such ridiculous lies!However, to say that Long live the Lord can easily bring up the dragon case is also very ridiculous!

Over the years, he has been decisive and experienced in dealing with things, which is why he has reached his current status. But at this moment, he is a little hesitant whether to believe it or not!

At this moment, I saw a young chamberlain hurriedly come in at the door of the palace. Seeing that the atmosphere in the palace was not right, he directly leaned on the threshold and reported: "Old ancestor, Long live the Lord has sent another decree, ordering the commander-in-chief of Ji Town, Tang Tong, and the commander-in-chief of Changping. Li Shouzhen immediately led his troops to Beijing."

When Wang Zhixin heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore.

The two generals were ordered to lead their troops to Beijing immediately. This was definitely a big deal.Generally speaking, when such a decree is issued, not only the Chief of Ceremonies, but also the cabinet will be summoned to consult before making a decision.But now, the emperor actually decides everything directly?
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
A series of things are all abnormal, which is even more abnormal!

Wang Zhixin immediately made a decision and rushed to the emperor to see the situation!

At this time, on Emperor Chongzhen's side, the things that fell on the imperial desk had been picked up again by the palace maid and sorted out.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't do anything, he just sat there and looked through the things on the imperial cases.

Because he knows that the people around him today are not reliable.

The two largest eunuchs in the palace were Wang Zhixin, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the governor of the East Factory, and Wang Dehua, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse eunuch.However, these two eunuchs surrendered to Li Zicheng and then to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the original history, and they were not of the same mind as him at all.

I really don’t know how blind the original Emperor Chongzhen was to let these two people become the first and second eunuchs in the palace!If he wanted to take the next step, he could only rest assured when Wang Chengen arrived.

As a result, Wang Chengen had not arrived yet, but Wang Zhixin arrived first.

"Long live Lord, it's almost noon and it's time to have lunch." Seeing Wang Zhixin's concerned and nervous expression, he said to Emperor Chongzhen diligently after entering the palace, "I'm thinking that Lord Long live has many things to do, so I'm afraid I'll miss the meal. , it would be bad if it damages the dragon's body."

Looking at his ardent and concerned expression, Emperor Chongzhen's mood was a bit complicated: On the surface, if it weren't for the historical endorsement, it would be hard to see that the eunuch who cared so much about Emperor Chongzhen would actually be disloyal when the crisis came. In order to avoid adversity, he abandoned Emperor Chongzhen and served another master to preserve his glory and wealth.

Emperor Chongzhen stared at him and found that his eyes were glancing at the imperial case, and he immediately understood that he came not because he wanted to have lunch, but because his lackeys reported his situation to him, so he heard the news Came here.

The people around you must be reliable, otherwise even if you have the power of the Overlord, you will not be able to withstand open and hidden arrows.At the very least, leaking information when doing things, or deliberately sending wrong information, or acting contrary to the truth, etc., will also make things not done well, or even impossible.

Before Wang Chengen arrived, Emperor Chongzhen remained calm and said to Wang Zhixin: "My dear friend, now the court is in urgent need of money. Please think about how to get the money quickly. I need it urgently!"

When Wang Zhixin heard this old question, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately replied: "Go back to Lord Long Live, I will go to the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance immediately to ask about the situation."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately sneered and said, "Why are you looking for him? I'm asking you. I said it's urgent!"

Wang Zhixin felt the emperor's dissatisfaction, so he quickly knelt down and said: "I am not good at household affairs. Long Live Lord needs urgent help. I am willing to use all my property for Long Live Lord's use."

Well, you gave away all your family property, you are really very loyal!
Emperor Chongzhen sneered in his heart after hearing this, and immediately asked: "How many?"

After hearing this, Wang Zhixin pretended to think, but did not keep the emperor waiting for a long time. After a while, he replied: "My slave has about 3000 taels of silver, more than 30 taels of gold, and about 2000 taels of jewelry and other discounts." , if the long live master is not enough, I also have a house on Zhuque Street, which can be sold, and I can probably make a total of 7000 taels, which is no problem."

Loyal or not?They did not hesitate to sell the pot and give all their wealth to Emperor Chongzhen. They were absolutely loyal!

Emperor Chongzhen listened and stared at him.And where Wang Zhixin was kneeling, his face was calm and without any pretense.

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen said: "You are the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the admiral of the East Factory, and you only have such a small amount of wealth? I trust you so much, so I can't commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, right?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare!" When Wang Zhixin heard this, he immediately replied sincerely, "I have left some coffin copies. If the long live master feels that it is not enough, I will not keep the coffin copies. I will definitely collect one." Come out ten thousand liang!"

Good guy, who has the nerve to steal someone else’s coffin book?

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and was about to speak when Wang Chengen arrived on his orders.

　The new book will be signed on Monday. Before then, you can invest and get some money for reading books.
