Chapter 5: Guidance by History
Wang Chengen was stunned for a moment after hearing this. It was said that so many military attachés were coming to see him. What was going on?
However, he didn't ask any more questions and immediately agreed. But then, he hesitated a little and asked for instructions: "Long live my lord, all the other slaves and servants know, but this Qianhu Li Guolu and Gao Wencai are from I wonder which guard they belong to?" Please tell me, Lord Long Live. If I find the wrong person, I’m afraid it will delay Lord Long Live’s important event.”

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "I don't know either, just go find them, even if there are more than one."

Wang Chengen and other chamberlains were dumbfounded after hearing this. Is this okay?How did the emperor know the names of these people?
From the looks of it, someone should have told the emperor about these people, but they didn't make it clear.I don’t know what the emperor wants to do with these people?
As they were thinking about it, they heard Emperor Chongzhen explain: "I had a dream this morning. I dreamed of Emperor Taizu, saying that the Ming Dynasty was about to be destroyed. Only if I change the way of saving the country can I hope to revive the Ming Dynasty. For this reason, Emperor Taizu granted me great power and mentioned that these military attachés in Beijing were loyal to the Ming Dynasty."

Having said this, he paused and then added: "Similarly, Emperor Taizu also mentioned you, saying that you were the most loyal to me among all the eunuchs. When I died for my country, you were the only eunuch who accompanied me. One side.”

There is no way, I can't say that I have traveled through time from later generations. I only know these things after reading this period of history in "Ming Tongjian".Now that it is said in the guise of Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning, it is more understandable to people of this era.

After all, in the 15th year of Chongzhen's reign, someone even concocted the story of Nine Lotus Bodhisattva to scare Emperor Chongzhen. Wasn't it also a group of people who advised the emperor to believe that it existed rather than that it didn't exist?
There are many materials about the history of the late Ming Dynasty in later generations, among which "Ming Tongjian" was compiled by Xia Xie of the Qing Dynasty.In Xia Xie's view, due to various reasons in "History of the Ming Dynasty", not only the historical truth about Manchuria, the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and the Southern Ming Dynasty's resistance to the Qing Dynasty were covered up, but also the words "expelling the Hu barbarians and restoring China" at the end of the Yuan Dynasty were kept secret. .

Therefore, on the basis of "History of the Ming Dynasty" and "Yuzhi Tongjian Gangmu No. [-]", he referred to "Shilu of the Ming Dynasty", "Huidian of the Ming Dynasty", "Unification of the Ming Dynasty", Wang Shizhen's "Historical Materials of Yanzhou", Zhu Guozhen There are hundreds of official and private history books such as "Huang Ming Da Zheng Ji" and "Ming Tongjian", which are compiled in detail through the historical facts of the Ming Dynasty.

He read "Ming Tongjian", which was a revised and translated version of "Ming Tongjian" by many scholars engaged in Ming history research from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Peking University, Renmin University of China and other units.

If there was something wrong in this book, Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to admit it.What we can do now is to save the nation based on the records in this book.

At this time, when he said this, Wang Chengen and others were stunned: Emperor Taizu told the emperor these things in a dream?

To be honest, this thing is really unbelievable!
However, no matter how unbelievable it is, since the emperor said this, it can only be good for them and not bad.Even if this is false, it must be taken seriously.

Therefore, Wang Chengen and others immediately became excited, bowed down to accept the order, divided their work, and hurriedly sent people to summon the military attachés named by the emperor.They even ignored the emperor's words "Give me great power".

Such a big movement will definitely be discovered by someone who is interested.No, as soon as Wang Zhixin returned to the Chief of Ceremonies, before he sat down, the little chamberlain he had arranged to watch over hurried over to report.

"What? Lord Long Live changed all the people around him to Wang Chengen's people? And asked them all to go out to deliver the message? What is this?"

No one could answer this series of questions for him.After all, the little chamberlain he sent over there could only watch secretly, and could not stop people to ask questions.Besides, given the current situation, even if the waiter tried to stop him, no one would stop him.

On Wang Zhixin's side, when he encountered such uncontrollable things, he felt the emperor's dissatisfaction with him. He was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the ceremonial prison, thinking quickly, but he couldn't figure it out. Did you do something inappropriate during this period that offended the emperor?Or, who could actually hide his slanderous words to the emperor?

It's really a thousand calculations, but I have already calculated everything. If I save more money in these troubled times, even if the dynasty changes and the master changes and I am not favored, I can still live without worries for the rest of my life.How could something go wrong?
The most important thing is to find out what happened that caused the emperor to have such a big change in his view of himself?
One thing is certain, it is definitely related to those two eggless people Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua!Otherwise, the emperor would not pay attention to them all at once.

With this in mind, Wang Zhixin rolled his eyes and called a chamberlain to order: "It's already passed the lunch time, and Long live the Lord has not eaten yet. You should go and report to the Queen immediately." No matter what, let the Queen do it. Go and bother the emperor so that you can buy him some time and learn more about the situation.Later, Wang Zhixin called a confidant and said: "Hurry to our outer house and take out 1 taels of silver. No, take out 23 taels of silver. Note that the quality cannot be the same."

He decided to actively collect money on his own, and then rushed to give it to the emperor. It would definitely be useful to have the cash in front of him. This way, it would be easier to figure out the specific situation after he gained favor.

Not only Wang Zhixin, but also the commander of Jin Yiwei, Luo Yangxing, has also received the news.It is said that the emperor suddenly issued a decree and summoned many military attachés to see him.There is also one in Jinyiwei Yamen.However, there is no such thing as him, the Commander of the Imperial Guard.

Logically speaking, the people in Zhao Jinyi Guards should also inform him.This made him feel uneasy immediately. He didn't know what happened in the palace?
However, the Jinyiwei Yamen was outside the imperial city, so it was not very convenient for him to inquire about things. After thinking about it, he picked two memorials and ran to the Forbidden City to request an audience.

But unfortunately, the palace's reply was no.

Just at the end of last year, that is, two months ago, he and Dongchang teamed up to kill the chief assistant Zhou Yanru.Now thinking about what happened in the palace, which he didn't know, in the end, Luo Yangxing turned to see Wang Zhixin, hoping to find out the situation from Wang Zhixin.

The sudden commotion made by Emperor Chongzhen made many people feel uneasy, fearing that something might happen.In fact, their worries are correct. For them, a violent storm is brewing and will break out soon.

However, for others, it is their chance to change their destiny.

After hearing the decree in his yamen, the deputy commander He Zhen felt a little puzzled. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, so he took out the broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch who delivered the decree. Why is Your Majesty summoning you so urgently?”

When the edict-delivery servant saw the money, he would have definitely taken it on normal days.But at this time, he quickly declined, and then replied with a smile: "Long Live Lord, Emperor Taizu had a dream, and knew that the commander-in-chief was a loyal minister, so he summoned him. Commander-in-Chief, hurry up and leave, don't let Long Live Lord wait in a hurry!"

When He Zhen heard this, she thought she had heard it wrong. Emperor Taizu said in his dream that he was a loyal minister?Is this... is this too childish?

After the chamberlain urged him again, he came back to his senses.If this is the case, it is naturally a good thing for him.Therefore, without much delay, he immediately took his personal guards and set off for the Forbidden City along with the chamberlain.

Most of the other military attachés who received the order had his thoughts in mind and rushed to the Forbidden City to meet him.

As a result, on Chang'an Street, military attachés rode by on horseback from time to time, entering Chengtian Gate in a hurry.

During the stormy time, such a scene attracted special attention and worry from passers-by.
