Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

"Long live Lord, aren't you annoyed with Wang Pu. Seeing that the emperor was unusually today, he actually repented of his subordinates, and Wang Chengen was amazed.

"I know he has a grudge. Chongzhen said again: "This great achievement, Zuo Liangyu's first merit, although he is the second, it is not appropriate to reward it." "

"How can a courtier complain that his father is not rewarded, Wang Pu is too unreasonable. Wang Chengen followed these words.

"He's not much the same age as me, and if he's too young, he's prone to being rash, which is inappropriate. Chongzhen actually defended Wang Pu in his words.

"So. "The holy will is too fast, Wang Chengen is not very sure, and he hesitates to take advantage of the situation.

"Hey, you call Wang Wei over, I want to persuade him a few words. "

"Long live Lord, Wang Wei said that he was sick at home, and he was still trembling when he heard that he was holding a stove. "

"Oh, by the way, if you say you're sick, then stay at home, and you can go to visit him on my behalf and say something to comfort him, such as rewarding him with Wang Pu's military merits. "

"The servants obey the order, and the holy family of the Long Live Lord is a miracle cure for all diseases to his subordinates. This time, if he didn't get sick immediately, the slave wouldn't follow. "

"Hahaha, you, just have a sweet mouth, smear honey on you. Chongzhen raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"The slave didn't dare to wipe it, for fear of face flowers. Wang Chengen cleverly made fun, and Chongzhen, who covered his mouth and was ashamed, laughed angrily.

"By the way, those soldiers sent by Wang Pu to his master's house, are they honest? After laughing and scolding, Wang Chengen hurriedly stepped forward to relieve Chongzhen's back, Chongzhen's chest suddenly stabbed, and a thorn buried deep in his heart pierced outward, making him feel the pain and shocked, so he asked.

According to Dongchang's secret report, Wang Pu's people stayed in a private house in front of Xu Guangqi's mansion when they entered the capital, and they kept going deep and simple. Wang Chengen hurriedly withdrew his hand and replied cautiously.

"Didn't you have a private relationship with those people in the Donglin Party? "

"That's not true, those few are rough people, and they don't look like they can go with the Donglin Party, and the slaves have a firm view of the Dongchang and don't dare to slack off. "

"I thought that as long as the Donglin Party members, Wang Pu listened, it seems that Hou Sui's words are exaggerated, this old man failed to hold Wang Pu, but instead gave it to others to use, so he was suspicious, hum. Chongzhen snorted coldly.

"Actually. "

"Actually, what. "

"The slave really doesn't understand the major affairs of the military state, he just thinks that Wang Pu is like a monkey, in fact, someone in the court can manage the monkey better than no one. "

"It's still Xu Laode who is highly respected, and it's rare to be such a humerus. Chongzhen was insincere, and twisted his eyebrows and closed his eyes.

When he was on the desk and forgot about it, he looked

up and glanced at the Taixi clock on the windowsill, the hands were aimed at ten o'clock, Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "Why is it fast today, this new clock is not easy to use." "

"This shit is broken again, the waste woven by Jiangning is really damned. Wang Chengen couldn't help but feel slightly stunned, this bell was sent to Jiang Ning to be repaired a few times, but it couldn't be repaired well, and sooner or later the emperor would be provoked to ask for guilt, and in a few days he would send someone to warn Liu Gui and ask him if he wanted a head, how dare he neglect the king so much.

Liu Gui said something. Fortunately, Chongzhen's mood is not bad today, and there is no sign of asking about sin, but it seems that he wants to recall something.

"Ah, he said that there was a craftsman with excellent craftsmanship, named Luo Qingpu, and the parts of this bell were all repaired by him in previous years. I borrowed it from Wang Pu last year, but I still refuse to pay it back. As soon as Wang Chengen's words came out, he secretly screamed that it was not good, this person was poached by Wang Pu, if the emperor held it accountable, Liu Gui was recommended by him to go to Jiangning to weave, and it was inevitable to use unknown people.

"Wang Pu, okay, he knows talents, and he goes to Jiangning to weave and dig people with gold, you don't know talents, good, very good. Chongzhen's face was cloudy, and he said in a loud voice, every time Wang Chengen heard a good word, his body was shorter, and his burly body bones were rickets, and he gradually buried his head in his chest to listen to the sound of drums in the heart.

"Bell~. A bell is like smoke, provoked Chongzhen to sigh lightly, he turned his head sideways to look at the wooden cloud pattern on the wall-hung embroidery board, Nahan's light spot today is higher than in the past, he is a thoughtful character, he can't help but be very careful about many details, Taixi Zhong is not punctual but it is good to say, how the bell is not accurate, this is a crime of imprisonment.

"Bell~. Chongzhen's face changed greatly, and he left his seat to listen.

"Bell~. "Ahh "Oops. Chongzhen and Wang Chengen both exclaimed.

"Bell~. Chongzhen was shocked, and stood stunned for a long time, and finally was very sure that he would not hear the next bell, so he sat back with a slump of his ass.

Four rings, it is actually four bells, all kinds of urgent military reports, this moment is too abrupt, Chongzhen will take a long time to come back to the taste, as if in a dream, this is not the bell of the time, four rings is the rebel raid on the Beijing Division, trance and like to return to a year ago, the East Capture soldiers came to the Beijing Division at that time, there were five rings at that time, and the foreign enemy approached the Beijing Division.

"Long live the master, let's go out and have a look. Wang Chengen didn't know how to be relieved, so he had to repay the king with his legs.

The peculiar sound of the bell caused an uproar in the whole city, and groups of people poured into the streets and alleys, or looked at the official offices, palace walls, and city towers to guess privately, or looked for familiar ways to inquire about the news. Chen Mingxia was well-informed after all, and after a little groaning, he knew the situation in his chest, and trotted straight to Zhengyangmen without saying a word.

"Baishi, what's wrong. The young master Xi with thick eyebrows and tall eyebrows who followed closely behind him was from one of the six imperial merchants, and he had more family background than Chen Mingxia's southeastern scholarly family. After being recommended by Zhou Liyou, Chen Mingxia befriended him, and during this period of time, he was enthusiastic, able to speak well, and was accustomed to business investment.

"Follow me, this time it's time to catch up. Chen Mingxia said excitedly.

"Catch up, what. "Xi Lingqian has a tall body and bones, and it is only difficult to shuttle through the noisy street market.

"Hahaha, Wang Pu, it must be Wang Pu who rebelled, believe it or not. Chen Mingxia turned around and shook him with a bright smile, revealing half of his neat white teeth.

"Impossible, impossible. Xi Lingqian was very unimpressed, and shook his head again and again.

"Why not, could it still be Dongyu entering the Kou, Dongyu has just been here, is it going to be another time now. Don't you hear that rabbits don't eat back grass, how can there be a harvest? "

"Hehehe, Baishi, don't you know, Wang Pu is in the tobacco business, and after the rebellion, he will be cut off from sales, and it will be no good for him. Xi Lingqian smiled confidently.

"Eh?" Chen Mingxia was surprised, this is really a saying, Wang Pu's army eats horses and chews every day, and the expenses must go to the sea, and top imperial businessmen such as Young Master Xi can hear that he has a tobacco business, which shows that the scale is not small, and its benefits are huge, so that it can make the rich man above the clouds excited. That Wang Puruo regardless of the rebellion, the upstream supply and the downstream shops, how dare the merchants from all over the country dare to have business dealings with him, but they are afraid that they will not be able to do it, this business will not be done, and they will not be paid without silver, can they rely on looting, Chen Mingxia is Yixi Wang Pu is so angry, but he knows that Wang Pu is not so reckless and brainless.

"Baishi, don't be discouraged, even if Wang Pu doesn't rebel now, sooner or later he will rebel. Xi Lingqian pretended to be shocking.

"Why, what else do you know, say. Chen Mingxia rekindled his fighting spirit, and asked with his eyes shining.

"Heh, I'm just a timber seller, where can I know anything, but Wang Pu, he is a bird, the current generals of this dynasty are the most domineering, there is a dead end called riding a tiger is difficult, you know, right. A trace of jealousy flashed in Xi Lingqian's eyes, he was indeed moved by Wang Pu's tobacco business, why did he want this business to go to a place infested by bandits, and he needed strong soldiers and horses to eat.

"Yes, yes, yes, and let him be proud, there will be a way to kill him in the future. With such a thoroughness, Chen Mingxia also smiled leisurely.

The two came to the Snow River

Teahouse, went up to the three-story window view seat, looked down the window, only to see the black and swarthy light of the inner city moat, Chen Mingxia smiled bitterly, only to say that it is the name of the store Snow River, the river water is dirty, not frozen into snow but not enough to become a scene, but this time do not seek to pay attention to it, the matter is in a hurry, and sure enough, the Zhengyang Gate diagonally opposite this tea house, a few birch willows nearby are only obstructive, and the city gate can be seen at a glance.

"It's a good seat, and it's even better that no one thought of it. Chen Mingxia sat down and said with a smile, and moved the chair for his friend.

"Exactly, everyone else will go to the teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the street, but it's good not to crowd here. Xi Lingqian thanked him, and sat down with a smile.

"It's coming. Chen Mingxia's face changed suddenly. I saw a team of armored cavalry rushing out from the corner of the street, one, two, three, four, five, a total of five horsemen stopped under the city gate, two of the cavalry wearing a red cotton armor belonged to the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp, and the three cavalrymen behind were wearing silver and dazzling chain mail, which was very unfamiliar.

"Then Jia is rare. Xi Lingqian also has some knowledge, and he can see at a glance that the chain mail is extraordinary, a layer of silver snow-like luster is like countless pearl strings woven into clothes, volatile like pearls and like Buddha light, faint but colorful.

"Well, that's Wang Pu's pawn. "

"Ah, it turns out that this is the world-famous Shenjia Battalion, and it's really a little different. "

"Hmph, it's just a good armor, the martial artist is greedy and flattering, and he is as fierce as a beast, and he will be a disaster for the country. Chen Mingxia was murderous and snorted coldly.

"That's right, the Qiu Ba are gradually getting proud, and sooner or later they will cause trouble. Xi Lingqian echoed.

Under the city gate, the

three cavalry of the Shenjia battalion dismounted, and after a while, the two officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion guarding the city gate moved out of nowhere to take out two benches and gave them a seat to rest.

Tian Guifei's residence is closer to the Qianqing Palace, smart

as she woke up to something big as soon as she heard the bell, so she put down the red wrap on her hand, lifted her skirt and slipped out of the side door of the palace, and went straight to the Qianqing Palace, relying on the emperor's favor, where did the eunuch and palace maid have the courage to stop her, Chongzhen saw her, and the miserable white face forced a happy face, only the sleeves that had nowhere to match fluttered with the arm blowing, Tian Guifei's heart ached, the king was extremely worldly, and the palace could know each other but chatted, except for her and Wang Chengen, she thought of him when he slept at night, and often shed tears in the corners of his eyes, and his heart thought of him every nightmare and sat up and looked around in horror, panting, and cold sweat, she had to pretend to be asleep, for fear of hurting his emperor's dignity. Such an emperor is not majestic, who would have thought that being an emperor would be so boring and pitiful.

"Your Majesty. Tian Guifei snorted, stepped forward quickly, and knelt down to the emperor to pull the corner of his clothes.

"Concubine Tian, don't be afraid. Chongzhen hurriedly hugged the concubine tightly, soothed the restlessness of Wusi's heartstrings, his beloved was like a bird in his arms, and his infatuation could not be sustained, and at this moment the best situation was only willing to stay for a long time.

A burst of messy footsteps came in from the back of the house, Chongzhen's body shook, swished and separated from the concubine, smashed his feet and made a clanging sound, and hurriedly returned to the royal couch to sit down, Tian Guifei looked at this man with beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart, this man is the respect of the Ninety-Five, but he is deeply bound by various rules, and he does not dare to exceed it slightly, I don't know whether it is good or bad, but even if the Tian family is a female stream, a thought vaguely appears in his mind, and the king who is restrained in front of his subordinates has no chance with the monarch.

"Long live the lord, the ministers are here. Outside the door, Wang Chengen was talking, and the shadow of the window was longing, as if he was about to squeeze together.

"Avoid it. Chongzhen waved to Tian Guifei on the side, he listened to the movement, and the footsteps outside the door did not look very flustered, and his heart was a little settled.

After the Tian family left from the side door, Chongzhen ordered the little yellow door to bring in the crowd outside the door, but the

courtiers were all human spirits, smelling the fragrance of Tian's body, and slandering each other in their hearts: At this time, the emperor is still tired of being with the beauty, and the country is your Zhu family, and he doesn't know how to cherish it, but he will take his life to call the courtiers.

"Rank Aiqing, why does Yingqi Building ring the bell even ringing. Chongzhen asked straight to the point.

"Back to the Holy Gift, this is a secret report sent back by the Jinyi Wei Ti Cavalry who went to Jizhou, and he also came back with Wang Pu's personal soldier Iron Cavalry. Zhou Yanru's heart was dripping blood, he knew that he was going to suffer, you must know that it was he who recommended Zuo Liangyu to lead the Jizhou soldiers, this crime is not light.

"Bring it. Chongzhen couldn't wait to read the secret report, Wang Chengen took out a piece of music from his cuff and bowed down to present it.

After a while, he saw Chongzhen's hand holding the chapter trembling, and Zhou Yanru felt that he could still rescue it again, so he slowly moved out of the column and said softly: "This matter has not been confirmed. "

"Confirmation, then what do you want? Chongzhen wanted to be angry and wanted to scold Yongchen for misleading the country, but he had been the emperor for a few years, and gradually gained some concentration, so he asked: "Why did Zuo Liangyu turn the other around, how did I treat him badly, and Wang Pu and Zuo Liangyu are, it was good that they were together, and they could get together late at night

Wang Chengen listened to this on the side, only to feel that his neck was cold and fluttering, as if there was a yin wind coming, the emperor was out of shape, and he couldn't think about speaking, this was an extremely dangerous time, and the slightest carelessness would lead to a river of blood.

"The minister asked the Holy Lord to issue an order immediately, so that Wang Pu could explain clearly. Zhou Yanru had no choice but to direct the emperor's anger to Wang Pu slightly, but he didn't know if it worked.
