Even the fundamental meaning and strength of the thief army were known so clearly, and Chang Yu's words made Zhu Cihong and Gong Yonggu dumbfounded him even more convinced.

It's just that how to tell Chongzhen the news without leaving a trace and make him believe that the two of them are worried.

Seeing their expressions, Chang Yu knew the difficulty, and his eyes rolled: "Prince, the little one has a plan to try"

"You say," Zhu Cihong perked up.

"The little one is soft-spoken, but the prince is different......," Chang Yu approached Zhu Cihong and said softly.

The wind is up, and the chill is even stronger. An hour later, Chang Yu walked out of the Prince's Mansion, looked up at the rainy sky, and sighed for a long time: "The sky has changed, the sky has changed"

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, the imperial city feels extremely depressed today, and even the smiles of the past can't be seen on the faces of those eunuchs and palace maids who pass by.

Chang Yu, who returned to the celebrant supervisor, lay down in the dormitory for a while, and then went straight to Wang Dehua's private house.

Wang Dehua was still planning the fortune plan proposed by Chang Yu with a few eunuchs in his private house, the more he talked, the happier he became, there were always some new ideas popping up, and the more he felt that Chang Yu was really good. , with a body of fists and feet, not to mention that the head melon is still so flexible.

Seeing Chang Yu coming back, several people showed extraordinary enthusiasm, completely lost the previous kind of arrogance, the reason is very simple, the final implementer of this underground boxing project has to be Chang Yu, second, seeing him in and out of the prince's mansion, plus I heard that the prince was betting on him last night, it is obvious that this kid is now a celebrity next to the prince.

"What's the matter, going to the palace at night?" Hearing this request, Wang Dehua and the others were quite surprised.

In the past, the master that the eunuchs liked to serve the most was of course the emperor, not to mention the oil and water, it seemed that he had a high status, and if he served well, he could become a celebrity at any time.

But at this stage, it's not, firstly, how can it be so easy to get on the throne, secondly, the emperor's temper is getting bigger and bigger, and if he is not careful, he will be punished with a cane, and if he is not careful, he will be killed with a cane.

It's too late for others to hide, and it's really surprising that this kid wants to take the initiative to ask for help.

"Princess, our family has been in the palace for more than three months, and we haven't even seen the emperor once, it's really ...... Curious and abnormal" Chang Yu's exaggerated expression made everyone laugh and relieved their doubts.

"Even if you go to the Qianqing Palace, you may not be able to see the emperor," Wang Dehua smiled slightly.

Chang Yu understood what he meant, whether it was in the Qianqing Gate, the Qianqing Palace, or the imperial study, etc., the emperor's private place, the one who could serve him personally must be a confidant eunuch, such as Wang Chengen, who has been inseparable recently, even other small eunuchs who served with him could only stay outside the door, and they were not allowed to enter without being summoned.

"Hey, our family is just going to try our luck, I can't see the emperor's will to see the providence"

"In that case, our family will arrange it for you in the evening, I hope you can get your wish" Wang Dehua nodded, and the words changed: "Father-in-law Chang, when will the underground boxing match start, and how to choose the boxer...... This old boy is really focused on this matter.

After a while, after the discussion of several people, the most basic process was decided, and each of the nine people selected a player to have a duel tonight to fight a propaganda war.

Chunxiang was a little confused, when he was still on duty, someone from the celebrant came and took him, Jiang Quan and the other six eunuchs who were in the same house away, saying that the celebrant Chang's father-in-law wanted to see them.

Of course, he knew who Chang Gonggong was, but he didn't expect Chang Yu to be able to call other eunuchs to run errands as soon as he arrived at the celebrant eunuch, which was too exaggerated.

But when he saw Chang Yu, he felt that his worldview was still too conservative, and this young master was actually on an equal footing with the eight eunuchs of the celebrant and called him a brother.

Chang Yu is naturally happy that he is good, and it seems that he is about to be transferred to the position of celebrant supervisor, but he is not shocked and sweaty.

Fight!

Chang Yu actually asked him to fight with someone else tonight, and also bet on him to win.

After secretly pulling Chang Yu aside and repeatedly confirming that he was not joking, Chunxiang was about to go crazy, and he waved his hand again and again to refuse, but suddenly saw Chang Yu's cold eyes, so he immediately stopped talking.

"Chunxiang, you have to believe that everything I do is not a whim, and it will not harm you, I am not on duty in the palace at night, you let go of your hands and feet to fight without psychological pressure, it is best to win, and there is no shame in losing."

Chang Yu kept giving Chunxiang psychological counseling.

Soon someone was spreading the news that there was a big show to watch tonight in the Imperial Horse Prison: the underground boxing match.

Undoubtedly, this is a new word, which has aroused the curiosity of many people, and when they heard that there is a master of ceremonies sitting in the village to place bets, people's hearts are itching.

At this time, Chang Yu was not idle, and after formulating some rules for the competition process with the six eunuchs in the hall, he took Chunxiang and Jiang Quan to an empty courtyard and began to teach some fighting skills in a targeted manner.

As night fell, the palace became more and more oppressive.

The harem guards and some eunuchs and palace maids who were not on duty were hurriedly withdrawing from the Qianqing Gate and the Xuanwu Gate.

When the door was cleared, some courtiers also began to go out, and when it was time for them to get off work, they could finally go home and enjoy life with the emperor after a day of loading b in front of the emperor and blowing cattle for a day.

The attic hall on the Qianqing Gate is as warm as spring, and there are only a few people inside.

In the middle of the thick and simple desk behind the wide dragon chair sat a middle-aged man, his cheeks were thin, the dark circles were very heavy, leaning on the dragon chair and squinting, his right hand kept rubbing his temples, this person was the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen.

Next to Zhu Youzhen's dragon case, there was a eunuch in his fifties who was slightly rickety, and at this moment he was secretly looking at Emperor Chongzhen from the side, his eyes were full of concern, he was Wang Chengen, the last eunuch in charge of the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

Knock knock, there was a gentle knock on the door outside the hall, Chongzhen's eyelids were not raised, and Wang Chengen beside him hurriedly walked over, opened a crack in the door and went out sideways, and soon turned around and came in, holding a food box in his hand, he quickly walked to Chongzhen and whispered: "Emperor, the queen sent bird's nest ......"

"Don't eat it!" Chongzhen slowly opened his eyes, showing a trace of impatience on his face, and then got up: "Go back to the Qianqing Palace, pass the decree in the afternoon, no one is allowed to disturb tonight."

The group got off the Qianqing Palace, and it was cold outside, so they hurriedly walked towards the Qianqing Palace behind.

At this time, a little eunuch hurriedly ran to Wang Chengen and whispered something, Wang Chengen's expression was stunned, and then he approached Chongzhen: "Emperor, the prince said outside the Qianqing Gate that there is something important to play."

"Missing"

Chongzhen is in a very irritable mood today, the thief actually claimed the emperor, how can a country tolerate two emperors, and a group of bandits are also worthy? Coupled with all kinds of pickled things in the court, he was very angry but had nowhere to vent, and he just wanted to be alone. Even if he hears that the prince has something important to play, what important things can a child who ignores the government and politics can do, it is nothing more than trivial things in the palace.

"Emperor, the prince's eyes are red and swollen, and he knelt outside the Qianqing Gate and said that he must see the emperor," Wang Chengen said again.

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and wondered in his heart, what could make this kid do this, and it was obvious that he was waiting for the courtiers to disperse at such a time, could it really be something important.

"Let him go to the Heart Cultivation Palace," Chongzhen said and waved his hand, and hurriedly walked into the Qianqing Palace.

Yangxin Palace is the emperor's bedroom, on the west side of the Qianqing Palace, the I-shaped multi-functional palace, the front hall has the emperor's office, the room for reviewing and reading, and there is also a secret room for meeting officials for secret talks, the apse is the bedroom, it is the place where the emperor sleeps and flips the cards and the concubines, it is said that there are many rooms, up to twenty-seven beds, outsiders do not know which room he sleeps in, in case of assassins.

There is a door to nourish the heart in front of the palace, there is a row of narrow courtyards outside the door, several low rooms, the height of the room is not more than the wall, the body is not more than four meters, this is specially designed for the eunuch palace maid on duty, the internal affairs official or the guard (limited to daytime) to rest.

Chongzhen walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall with a gloomy face, but he didn't care that one of the several eunuchs standing at the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall secretly glanced at him.

It turns out that Emperor Chongzhen looks like this, as rumored, often stay up late and lose sleep, he is much older than his actual age, Chang Yu has some sympathy, Emperor Chongzhen can be described as the most diligent emperor of the Ming Dynasty and even throughout the ages, every day to review and fold until late at night, get up at four or five o'clock in the morning, conscientious, but it is difficult to rejuvenate, after all, the Ming Dynasty has reached the time of terminal illness, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, it is difficult for anyone to turn things around.

No one is perfect, some people say that Chongzhen is stubborn and self-serving, some people say that he is suspicious by nature, and some say that he has a weak personality, these are all right, he has them, but even if he has no character flaws, what can he do? The cold, drought, locust plague, plague caused by the weather of the Xiaoice River, each of which is fatal, is enough to make the national fortune decline, not to mention the man-made internal and external troubles, so the great Ming extinguished, Chongzhen Emperor did not have much responsibility, can only be said to be providential, said that he was on his back.

If you have to find fault with him, from Chang Yu's point of view, Chongzhen is stubborn and doesn't know how to be flexible, and he wants to save face, the most direct proof is that Li Zicheng, who was driven to the shelves, sent the surrendered eunuch Du Xun to negotiate with Emperor Chongzhen when he came to the city of Beijing, and the request was very simple, give me a million grains, cut the northwest land and make me king, in exchange for I will withdraw immediately, and I can help you resist the Tartar army.

But Chongzhen didn't know what to think, maybe he really didn't have any money, but he didn't have any money to make up, maybe he was too self-esteem, maybe he felt that it was impossible to lose so quickly because there were three guards in the capital, maybe he fantasized that those warlords would come to King Qin, anyway, no matter what the reason, he refused, but he just didn't expect to be flexible, and temporarily agreed to relieve the siege, and then slowly figure it out.

The result of the refusal, everyone knows!

Not long after Chongzhen entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, he saw the prince's eyes red and hurriedly followed a little eunuch over, and when he was about to enter the palace, he suddenly saw Chang Yu and couldn't help but be stunned.

Nodding to him gently, Zhu Cihong also nodded slightly, and entered the Heart Cultivation Hall under the notification of the little eunuch.

The moment he opened the door, Chang Yu looked sideways inside, but he almost didn't see anything, but the heating that overflowed in that moment made him regret it a little, was he paralyzed to freeze at this door all night?
