Just as Wu Fan was facing the sky and scolding Lin Yang happily, Wang Chengen was outside the door to report that Fan Jingwen had arrived, and was waiting for Wu Fan to go over in the Wenhua Palace. Wu Fan stretched out his hand to wipe the spit on his face, stood up, opened the door and walked out.

Wang Chengen followed behind Wu Fan strangely, not knowing what was wrong with the emperor, why did he suddenly become so energetic?

Wu Fan came to the Wenhua Palace, and the first sentence he just sat down made all the ministers present stunned: "Ladies and gentlemen, King Wen has contacted Li Zicheng in private, plotting to open the gate of the capital and dedicate the city to Li Zicheng, do you know about this matter?" ”

The ministers looked at each other for a long time before Fan Jingwen spoke: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Min is known as a virtuous person, especially at this time when the world is in chaos, it is even more necessary for a wise royal family like King Min to guard Nanjing. ”

Fan Jingwen's words made Wu Fan's anger that he had managed to suppress just now come out again, Wu Fan sneered twice, glanced at Fan Jingwen obliquely, and said coldly: "So, Fan Jingwen, do you suspect that I have misbelieved slander?" How do you know I'm wrong? Have you investigated? Or can you guarantee that he will not rebel? ”

With Fan Jingwen's old annihilation, of course, he heard the dissatisfaction in Wu Fan's words, so he lowered his head and didn't say a word, waiting for Wu Fan's words. Li Banghua's surname is much more straightforward than that, and seeing that Fan Jingwen no longer spoke, he bowed his hand to Wu Fan, took over the conversation and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not suspicious of what the emperor said, but this matter is a bit sudden, and there was no warning before, so the ministers can't turn around." I also asked the emperor to give his ministers some time to investigate, and then it would be clear whether King Min was loyal or annihilated. ”

Wu Fan suddenly turned the spearhead to Li Banghua again: "Investigation, investigation again, then have you investigated the whereabouts of the deserters in the Yanjing camp now?" Do you know what impact these deserters will have on the capital if they suddenly attack? How do you know that my sources are inferior to yours? Tell you, immediately go and hunt down King Min's subordinates in the capital! This is a command, not a counsel with you. That's an order! You know! ”

Wu Fan's sudden thunderous anger suddenly frightened Fan Jingwen and the others, but Li Banghua still stubbornly said to Wu Fan: "Your Majesty, the minister still can't believe that King Min will do such a rebellious thing, even when the first emperor was in power, he once said that King Min is loyal and capable, and he will be the pillar of the country in the future, and the minister can't just rely on His Majesty's remarks to casually suspect the royal family."

Before Li Banghua finished speaking, Wu Fan had already jumped up from the chair: "Get out of here!" I'm fucking telling you that it's an order, you're still chirping so crookedly endlessly, tell you, get out of here, don't wait for me to drag you out and cut you down, what I said is for you to execute, not for you to doubt! ”

Seeing Wu Fan's anger, his outstretched fingers were about to touch Li Banghua's nose, so frightened that Wang Chengen hurriedly grabbed Wu Fan from behind and shouted: "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry"

This Li Banghua looks very temperamental, Wu Fan is already so anxious that he is about to kill, he actually took his robe and knelt on the ground, and continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks" Fan Jingwen didn't let Li Banghua continue, came over and pulled Li Banghua up, and pushed and dragged him out of the room, I don't know what to say to Li Banghua outside, and the two returned to the room soon after.

Li Banghua knelt down in front of Wu Fan, and said with a dark face: "Your Majesty, the ministers also think about the stability of the Ming Dynasty. Since the emperor has issued an order, the minister does not dare to resist the decree, but the minister will still continue to order someone to investigate, if it turns out that the minister is wrong, the minister will ask for guilt in front of the emperor, but if the minister's investigation results prove that King Min was framed, then even if the minister loses his family name, he must ask for his life. ”

Li Banghua's performance made the anger in Wu Fan's chest gradually dissipate, Wu Fan actually knew that his nameless fire was not aimed at Li Banghua, but was completely aroused by the mobile phone demon, and Li Banghua just accidentally became his punching bag. And speaking of which, Wu Fan's lack of rich historical knowledge told him that if an emperor had more courtiers like Li Banghua who were responsible and dared to speak, it would be a good thing for the emperor, and it was said in the history books when he was in school that Li Shimin was so angry with Wei Zheng that he couldn't eat, but Li Shimin liked Wei Zheng the most.

Wu Fan took a deep breath and said to Li Banghua: "Li Aiqing, flat body, speaking of which, I shouldn't be angry with you, and what you said can't be wrong, it's just that I have ironclad evidence of King Min's rebellion in my hands, but now the time has not come, and I can't tell you the source of the information." Okay, according to what you said, you can continue to investigate this matter, but I hope that tonight I must arrest all of King Min's subordinates in the capital, and not let any of them go, and it is even better to impose martial law in the whole city to prevent the news from leaking, you should be able to do all these things, right? ”

Wu Fan's words almost admit his mistake, so that all the ministers are a little stunned, Emperor Chongzhen has always been rigid and conceited, since he ascended the throne for more than ten years, when did he say soft words to his subordinates, Chongzhen was the most diligent change of prime ministers since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, more than 20 prime ministers have been changed in more than ten years, and the ministers who violated Chongzhen's intentions were deposed or killed, and the ministers headed by Fan Jingwen thought that this time Li Banghua was going to explain to here, including Li Banghua himself regretted a little. Li Banghua didn't want to face the confrontation with Wu Fan, but the last time the Golden Palace was discussed, Wu Fan's words about the coexistence of me and the capital aroused his enthusiasm when he was a teenager, so he reasoned with Wu Fan in a hot head, and never thought that Wu Fan would actually say soft words, and Li Banghua, who was suddenly moved, burst into tears and choked up and couldn't say a word anymore.

Fan Jingwen immediately led the crowd to kneel, and said with red eyes: "The emperor can rest assured, the ministers will mobilize their troops to ensure that all the forces of King Min in the capital will be swept away within two hours." ”

Just when Wu Fanjun's ministers finished their deliberations, the sky in the capital was already dark, and the drizzle that had been falling did not know when it stopped, because the news that Li Zicheng was about to hit the capital, everyone knew that the war was coming, so the people in the city were a little worried, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street at this time.

In some shadowy street corners, some sneaky figures flashed from time to time, and I don't know how many people were hiding in the shadows.

It is still that quiet house, several henchmen of King Wen are sitting anxiously in the courtyard at this time waiting for news, people have been sent out, whether they can cause earth-shattering chaos in the capital, it depends on this, so far Li Zicheng has not replied, and several ministers who had agreed to work with them suddenly stopped contacting at this time, and the information in all aspects shows that the situation seems to be not good.

Except for the black-faced scholar, who was still expressionless, the other people were a little restless, constantly pacing in circles on the ground, especially the long-haired old man who was the leader, his hands were a little trembling, and the corners of his mouth were constantly twitching, as if he wanted to talk but didn't know what to say.

The black-faced scholar said proudly: "Everyone, the plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, since we have done our best, then no matter what the result is, there is no need to think about it, wait, the sky is not too dark at this time, and once the fire starts after dark, it shows that our plan is half successful, as long as it can cause chaos in the capital, resulting in the instability of the military and the people, then Li Zicheng will not let go of this opportunity, as long as Li Zicheng succeeds in killing Chongzhen, the prince will definitely be the emperor in Nanjing in due course, At that time, the prince ascended to the heights and shouted, and the military and civilians in the world were congruent, and it was impossible to return to the capital to restore the Ming Dynasty. If there is really that day, even if we die in the capital, we will repay the kindness of the prince. So let's calm down and hope that the fire we have lit will shine in the world. ”

The black-faced scholar's words eased the emotions of several people, and the long-haired old man led by him coughed lightly twice, sat back in his seat, and took a sip while picking up the teacup and bringing it to his mouth, and said: "Song Chengyi is right, the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, we are here to make a big fire, and we can't light a single grass and tree in the capital, so let's wait quietly." ”

At the same time as several people were holding their teacups, the black-faced scholar Song Chengyi suddenly jumped up, pointed to the sky in the north and shouted, "Fire!" It's on fire! It's really on fire! ”

The old man at the head looked at the north, and suddenly fell to the ground with a chair in excitement, and the old man got up with the agility that the elderly rarely had, and pointed his finger at the north and shouted in surprise: "Fire, it's really fire!" ”

Several people looked to the north, and the firelight reflected the northern sky flickering, and sure enough, it was firelight, and everyone cheered together. Not long after the fire broke out in the north, a burst of shouts and killings sounded, the sound was not loud at first, it sounded just a noisy noise, and soon the sound became louder and louder, and it was already clear that it was indeed the sound of a large group of people fighting.

Song Chengyi, a black-faced scholar, sat on the Taishi chair with relief, let out a sigh of relief, and said softly: "It's done, it's done, the sky bless my prince to succeed, and the capital will be in chaos." ”

The shouting and killing sound from outside the courtyard became louder and louder, and there was a feeling of fire shining in the sky everywhere, as if the entire capital had been burned, and several people jumped up and down excitedly, and even more people couldn't vent the ecstasy in their chests, gritting their teeth and constantly slapping the table.

Song Chengyi, a black-faced scholar, suddenly changed his face, got up and stood on the chair to carefully observe the firelight in the sky, and suddenly went down to the ground and said to the rest of the people: "Great, I feel a little unable to hold my urine for this relaxation, I'll go and make it easier." After speaking, Song Chengyi hurriedly walked to a small door next to the courtyard.

The other people glanced at each other and laughed, it turned out that Song Chengyi's composure was all pretended, don't pee your pants now.

In the laughter of several people, Song Chengyi's figure disappeared, and not long after Song Chengyi left, suddenly there was a commotion outside the courtyard, and several people could clearly hear the shouts: "Don't let these rebellious thieves escape, quickly, the whole hospital is blocked, and no one is allowed to leave." ”
