When Wang Chengen arrived at Zhao Jingzhong's mansion, he was asleep. On the third watch, Wang Chengen personally brought people to invite him into the palace to face the saint, even a rookie who has just entered the officialdom can see the stakes here, not to mention Zhao Jingzhong, an old fox who has been up and down in the sea for many years?

But he didn't dare to resist, not to mention whether he could deal with these big internal masters brought by Wang Chengen, even if he could deal with it, how could he escape from the capital? Chongzhen dared to call him, so he must have been ready.

The whole trend of events is very different from the one he calculated in the movie, and he is not ready to flee to Liaodong before he gets Wei Zhongxian's silver.

In fact, after he failed to kill the three Luo Tai brothers and found out that Wei Zhongxian was not dead, he felt the severity of the matter, and he suddenly found that he had lost control of the whole situation. He was preparing to go to Wei Zhongxian again as soon as dawn to discuss his next move. Unexpectedly, Chongzhen suddenly summoned him overnight.

While he was dressing and Wang Chengen entered the palace, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he tried to remember where the whole thing had been missed. The scheming Wei Zhongxian did not tell him the news that Shen Lian was going to enter the palace as a little eunuch, if he knew the news, he would definitely not follow Wang Chengen so lightly at this moment.

Could it be that Chongzhen saw that there was something wrong with the charred corpse? Zhao Jingzhong thought secretly, but he quickly shook his head. Even if Chongzhen saw that there was something wrong with the scorched corpse, he would not take this matter to him, because first of all, this difference was handed over to him and Han Kuang to supervise, Han Kuang was the new minister of the first assistant, and he would strictly handle the first assistant for such a small matter. Who would dare to run errands after that?

Although the emperor hoped to capture Wei Zhongxian alive, it was inevitable that there would be casualties in the battle, and Wei Zhongxian was **. Who can stop this? With his understanding of Chongzhen, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen was not a faint monarch who killed ministers indiscriminately when he was hot-headed, although Chongzhen's ability was limited, but at least it was better than his previous two emperors, and he was also a person who really wanted to prosper the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that this emperor was born at the wrong time, and he wants to save the Ming Dynasty, which is now crumbling, unless Emperor Qin and Han Wu. Tang Gao and Song Zu are alive, otherwise there is no cure at all. Chongzhen doesn't know how to use soldiers and has no strategy. Even if you choose the right talent sometimes, you give up halfway because you are too suspicious.

Therefore, the current Ming people are their own. His actions in Zhao Jingzhong are compared with those of other high-ranking officials in the temple. It's not excessive.

Moreover, the specific person in charge of Wei Zhongxian's matter is Jinyiwei, Chongzhen really found a problem, and when the board fell, it could only fall on the head of the Zhenfu Division, and he was responsible for the leadership at most.

The Wei Party collapsed, and the East Factory fell. Emperor Chongzhen will not fail to understand, with the decline of Dongchang. Jinyiwei is bound to be powerful. It can be seen from this action to exterminate the eunuch party that Jinyiwei is about to re-envelop the Ming Dynasty. The real Mingjun would not allow this kind of thing to happen.

Balancing and containing each other is the least powerful means of any emperor. Chongzhen won't be ignorant.

Zhao Jingzhong thought as he walked, he suddenly felt that he should consider the good side, maybe Chongzhen had more important things to hand over to him in this emergency summons, Wang Chengen said just now, Chongzhen has something important to discuss with him. Although he didn't trust Wang Chengen much, he couldn't see anything unusual from his expression and demeanor.

With this contradictory mood, Zhao Jingzhong followed Wang Chengen to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

As soon as he saw "Chongzhen" sitting behind the bookcase, he immediately knelt down on his knees and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Luo Tai didn't have any expression, but said softly: "Get up." ”

"Thank you." Zhao Jingzhong slowly stood up and stood in front of the bookcase.

"Wang Chengen, you guys quit first." Luo Tai said to Wang Chengen.

"This" Wang Chengen was stunned, he knew the danger here, and couldn't help but worry about the emperor.

Luo Tai was unmoved, still waving his hand expressionlessly.

Wang Chengen didn't dare to disobey the king's order, he bowed down and said, "Yes." After speaking, he walked out of the Heart Nourishing Hall with the guards. Then he and the guards waited closely at the door, and if there was any movement, he and the guards would rush in to rescue him.

"Zhao Jingzhong." Luo Tai said coldly.

"The minister is here." Zhao Jingzhong hurriedly responded: "I don't know what is important for His Majesty to summon Weichen late at night?" ”

Rotai sat up straight. Still expressionless, he said, "It's not important to talk about." But now the situation is turbulent. Da Ming is now terminally ill, and a little thing may kill him. I want to ask you, where is Wei Zhongxian now? ”

"Hum~" Zhao Jingzhong's brain was a little dizzy, he was really discovered by Chongzhen. A cold sweat flowed from him. Sworn denial? But tonight's Chongzhen doesn't know why, a kind of terrifying majesty makes him seem to be a different person, his words are very light, but they pierce people's hearts like a knife!

"Back to the emperor, Wei Zhongxian has **, his body has been"

"Smack!" This was the crisp sound of Luo Tai slapping the book, which interrupted Zhao Jingzhong's reply.

"I don't like to beat around the bush, I can call you over at this time, you should know something." Luo Tai said slowly.

"Plop!" Zhao Jingzhong suddenly knelt in front of Luo Tai, and said: "Your Majesty, the little one also found that Wei Zhongxian's scorched corpse has a big problem, but this matter was handled by the Jinyi Wei of the Zhenfu Division, and what happened during the arrest process is really not clear." The little one didn't dare to hide it from His Majesty, and the little one also suspected that Wei Zhongxian was still alive, but I really didn't know where he was now. What the hell is going on here, I hope Your Majesty will find out. ”

"Knowing is certain, I only ask you, what was the will I gave you at that time?" Rotai said.

"Capture Wei Gelding alive." Zhao Jingzhong replied.

"What is your will for Jinyiwei?" Luo Tai asked coldly.

Zhao Jingzhong's body began to tremble, this was his last bottom line. How could Chongzhen know about this? He couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out. It was impossible for those three little flag heads to see Chongzhen.

Seeing Zhao Jingzhong trembling, Luo Tai suddenly flew out from behind the bookcase, without waiting for Zhao Jingzhong to understand what was going on. He punched him hard in the head.

"Bang!!" After a sound, Zhao Jingzhong fainted to the ground. Although his martial arts skills were good, he couldn't withstand Luo Tai's sudden heavy punch.

Hula-la. Hear movement in the temple. Wang Chengen rushed in with the guards. Luo Tai shook his wrist and said to Wang Chengen: "Put this person in prison, and use the harshest means of my Ming Dynasty to make him tell where Wei Zhongxian is?" But do not take his life, and remember, if he dies, neither shall you live. ”

"Yes!!" Everyone bowed down and replied, and then the guards set up the unconscious Zhao Jingzhong and dragged him out.

Wait until the guards are gone. Wang Chengen bowed down and asked, "Early tomorrow morning, the little Ming Fu Division raided Zhao Jingzhong's house. ”

Luo Tai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't startle the snake first." On the contrary, you ordered someone to secretly spy on Zhao Jingzhong's mansion, and before you caught Wei Zhongxian, you continued as usual. ”

"Your Majesty."

"And." Rotai continued: "Early tomorrow morning. Arrest Zhang Ying, a hundred households in the Zhenfu Division. What do you want to do with that king of the Sect Division? ”

"Uh, what did Your Majesty say about Wang Chuanting?" Wang Chengen said.

"Like." Luo Tai couldn't figure out what the old bustard of Chunnuan Pavilion said was Lord Wang's name, so he got off the donkey down the slope and said, "Let him come to see me." ”

"Yes!" Wang Chengen didn't understand what Chongzhen's intentions were, could it be that the emperor had taken a fancy to the song of the Shangfang Division? Of course, he didn't dare to ask this question.

"I'm going to rest now, and I'll be up early tomorrow, so no one is allowed to disturb me." Luo Tai said coldly.

"Yes." Wang Chengen responded.

After sending Wang Chengen away. Luo Tai quickly returned to the secret room and looked at Zhu Youzhen, who was already asleep. Then he quickly ran out of the palace through the secret passage.

When Rotai undressed and returned to the bungalow in the suburbs. The day has been four watches. Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

When they saw Luo Tai, they hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Luo Tai smiled and said, "When you see me, don't you understand?" ”

Lu Jianxing asked incredulously, "Does the emperor really believe what you say?" ”

Luo Tai smiled and said: "Don't ask about the specifics, in short, during this time, you should be calm and restless, stay calmly in the Yamen of the Pacification Division, and don't make any moves." I will be in the palace for a while, eldest brother and third brother, please rest assured, all of them are in my plan. Big brother, your hundred households will be issued in these two days, and you don't need to ask more about the specifics. ”

After speaking, he asked the two brothers to quickly return to the yamen and let Ding Xiu keep an eye on the gambling house. After completing the instructions, he returned to the palace.

By the time he had finished his transfiguration, it was already dawn.

Early in the morning, the guards came to the Zhenfu Division with their will, and arrested Zhang Ying without saying a word.

And the hundred households who succeeded Zhang Ying in commanding the Zhenfu Division were Lu Jianxing. This heavenly joy made Lu Jianxing a little overwhelmed, but he remembered what his second brother said, calmed down his mood, and took office.

On this night, Luo Tai completely subverted the direction of the movie and completely reversed the fate of the three brothers

It was also on this morning that Luo Tai met the Lord Wang of the Teaching Workshop Division in the Heart Cultivation Palace. The head of this sect division would never be able to see Chongzhen on weekdays, let alone be summoned separately in the Heart Cultivation Palace, which made the old man who was nearly fifty years old ecstatic. Of course, he didn't know what the emperor was looking for him.

"Do you have a woman named Zhou Miaotong in the Teaching Workshop Division?" Luo Tai stared at Wang Chuanting, who was kneeling in front of him, and said.

Hearing Luo Tai's question, Wang Chuanting's mind spun rapidly. He didn't understand how the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty could know about a song-prostitute of the Jiaofang Division. But that's not what he should know. For him, it was an opportunity.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is." Wang Chuanting replied loudly.

"Someone brought her here." Rotai spoke.

"Huh?" This order not only stunned Wang Chuanting, but even Wang Chengen on the side was stunned.

What is the rhythm of this? The emperor has not been out of the palace since he ascended the throne, and it is impossible to go to the Nuanchun Pavilion, how can he know such a woman? And even if the emperor wants to find a woman to enter the palace, it must not be a singer-prostitute. This involves royal face, as well as harem etiquette.

"陛xià." Without waiting for Wang Chuanting to reply, Wang Chengen stepped forward and said: "Find a woman from the sect department to enter the palace to face the saint, I am afraid that it will be a mistake to forgive the villain's courage, which may damage the royal etiquette." ”

Luo Taicai ignored these, he, the temporary emperor, sat one day less, and as the emperor, he couldn't save Zhou Miaotong from fire and water, so he would live in vain.

"Less nonsense, let you go and go quickly." Rotai accentuated his voice.

"The villain obeys." Wang Chuanting saw Chongzhen's heart, he didn't care about Wang Chengen, he replied very firmly, and then got up and ordered a few eunuchs to hurry out of the palace and go straight to Nuanchun Pavilion.

Wang Chengen withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace, called a confidant eunuch to his side, and said in a low voice: "The emperor's private affairs, we shouldn't have asked about it, but this matter involves the royal face, don't be underestimated, you should quickly inform the queen mother of this matter." ”

"But, the emperor," the little eunuch said worriedly.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it." Wang Chengen said.

When Luo Tai was waiting for Zhou Miaotong in the Heart Cultivation Palace, he suddenly heard a eunuch shouting outside the door: "The queen has arrived." ”

Empress? Luo Tai was stunned. At this moment, a graceful and luxurious woman walked in amid the sound of ringing. As the woman entered, Luo Tai suddenly felt a strange fragrance like Lan Feilan in the room, and the smell was refreshing.

He raised his eyes and took a closer look, the person who came was dressed in a green brocade robe, the corners of the robe were inlaid with a circle of water-red lace, and there were wisps of apricot yellow tassels on the dark ribbon tied around his waist.

Yingying, who came, bowed her legs sideways to Luo Tai, and said softly: "Your Majesty is blessed, the concubine has seen Your Majesty." ”

This woman is not only beautiful, but also exudes a noble and dignified temperament. It's not pretending, it's a natural fit with her every move.

I really didn't expect that pretending to be Chongzhen would have such a "Yanfu". "Oh~~" Luo Tai exhaled, and didn't know what to say, just waved his hand in the air, and the queen said, "Xie Majesty." ”

Chongzhen's empress Zhou (1611-1644), a native of Suzhou, her father Zhou Kui and mother Ding were Zhou Kui's stepfamilies. After moving to Beijing, Zhou Kui worked in the downtown area of Qianmen Street, making a living by reading fortunes.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse (1626), when Zhu Youzhen, the then king of letters, selected a princess for the big wedding, Empress Yi'an, who was in charge of the affairs of the harem, selected the Zhou family from many candidates as the eldest sister-in-law's surrogate. After Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, the Zhou family was promoted from Princess Xin to empress.

History has a good evaluation of Queen Zhou, saying that she is naturally majestic, has a high prestige in the palace, she is simple by nature, considerate of the people, and is a good queen worthy of praise.

Luo Tai glanced at Wang Chengen, who was beside Queen Zhou, and probably guessed what was going on. He did not complain about Wang Chengen. Whether it is Wang Chengen or Queen Zhou, these are the people Chongzhen trusts the most, and they are also desperate for Chongzhen. From Chongzhen's point of view, Wang Chengen did the right thing. How could the emperors of the past generations casually summon a song-prostitute in the palace in broad daylight?

The most faint king does this kind of thing, I'm afraid it will also take until the night, and the gods will go out of the palace unconsciously.

It's just that now they don't know that Chongzhen, who is sitting on the dragon chair, is an "impostor". Luo Tai didn't understand these rules, and he didn't bother to pay attention to these rules and regulations. He just wants to get the job done.

They also don't know, what is on the mind of Luo Tai at the moment? What Luo Tai thought about was whether his disguise technique could coax the Queen Zhou in front of him.

Luo Tai wanted to impersonate Chongzhen not for a day or two, but for more than a month and a half. So the question is, which one is stronger?

Luo Tai's disguise technique is really powerful, but he can't see it if he doesn't connect the wife of the bed? It's okay to talk on weekdays, but what about in bed? Unless Luo Tai does not have sex with Queen Zhou for more than a month.

But is that in the past?

"Cheng'en, you step back first, I have something to say to Your Majesty." Queen Zhou said to Wang Chengen with a smile.

"Yes." Wang Chengen bowed down and withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After Wang Chengen withdrew, Empress Zhou said softly to Luo Tai: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that His Majesty summoned a song-prostitute from the sect to enter the palace to face the saint?" (To be continued......)
