"Ancestor, a great disaster!"

On February 23, outside the Forbidden City, a frightened voice sounded loudly, so startled that Wang Chengen, Gao Shiming and others, who were resting in the celebrant prison, got up and went to the door to take a look.

Seeing that the person who came was Gao Bo, the little eunuch under him, Gao Shiming, the eunuch with the palm print, slapped him and called out.

"Dog minion, what is it called, this is the inner court, where is the place where you are a dog and a presumptuous, if you can't say why you come today, our family will beat you to death."

This little eunuch Gao Bo has fine skin and tender meat, and the marks on his face are clearly visible after being slapped.

I saw that he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted with a crying voice: "Old Ancestor, it is indeed a disaster, the Liukou has broken through Wuchang, the Chu Wangfu has been cut off, and the old Yang Sichang and others have all been martyred." ”

With a sound of "dang", the teacup in Wang Chengen's hand fell to the ground suddenly.

"Lord Wang~~"

A shocking cry sounded one after another in the celebrant supervisor.

As a clan, the king of Chu is a relative of today's son, and they naturally have to be very sad as slaves.

However, compared with others, Wang Chengen, Gao Shiming and others have a little more grief, Yang Sichang committed suicide, and the Central Plains still don't know what to do.

Wang Chengen, Gao Shiming and the others cried a few times, and immediately rushed towards the Qianqing Palace in a hurry.

A short time later, the entire Forbidden City resounded with a cry that was half panicked and half in response to the situation.

In the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen suddenly became angry and bloody when he heard the bad news, and almost fell directly to the ground.

It was Wang Chengen and others who were quick to see and hold him up.

"Quick, go to the cabinet and invite all the ministers to discuss!"

Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair with his chest clutched, his pale face showing a hint of redness, and he yelled hysterically.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the Qianqing Palace immediately ran in a panic.

This news was reported to the cabinet and the celebrant at the same time, and the cabinet ministers had already known the news and were waiting for Chongzhen to summon them.

As soon as they saw someone coming from the palace, the cabinet ministers headed by Fan Fucui rushed over instantly.

That's right, Chongzhen changed his head again.

Xue Guoguan was the first assistant for a few months, but he was arrested and imprisoned because of the impeachment of Donglin Zhongren, and Fan Fucui took over.

As soon as he entered the Qianqing Palace, Fan Fucui bowed down with a group of ministers.

"Your Majesty, Wuchang has fallen, and the minister, as the first assistant, can he be innocent, and the minister will ask for surrender to calm the hearts of the people of the world."

On the throne, Chongzhen had already relieved himself a little at this time, and when he heard Fan Fucui's words of pleading, he waved his hand weakly.

"All the secretaries, please get up, now is not the time to talk about crimes, Wuchang has fallen, the king of Chu has been cut off, Yang Ge Lao and others have died, and I am also very sad, but what is more important now is how to control the situation in the Central Plains."

"Now that Liaodong Jianyu is attacking again, if you can't suppress the Central Plains Liukou, then my Daming Jiangshan will be in danger immediately, Zhongqing is a talented person, who can take on this responsibility?"

The Zong Domain fell, and Chongzhen, the emperor, naturally couldn't get out of the way, but more importantly, with the death of Yang Sichang and others, the Ming army's previous achievements in the Central Plains were all turned into ashes.

Chongzhen's words seemed to be asking, is there a minister in the cabinet who can take over the task of suppressing Kou after Yang Sichang's death.

However, to Chongzhen's disappointment, Fan Fucui led a group of cabinet ministers who all lowered their heads, as if they didn't hear it.

Seeing that there was an embarrassing silence in the hall, Fan Fucui, as the first assistant, couldn't take a step forward and said:

"Your Majesty, things have to be done step by step, and the most important thing now is not to comfort the ministers of the deceased clan first, it is also inspiring."

Chongzhen's eyes flashed with deep regret and anger, my Daming country is almost over, but the first thing you think about now is to seal the dead?

"Let's discuss this matter first, and then report it to me when there is a result."

"Yes, the minister will go to discuss it when he waits", Fan Fucui is also a bachelor, and even after Chongzhen's words, the soles of his feet were greased.

"Smack"

Seeing the figures of the cabinet ministers disappear at the door of the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen trembled with anger and picked up the inkstone on the imperial case and threw it to the ground, startling a group of palace maids and eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground and waiting.

"Look at it, this is my minister", Chongzhen trembled his lips and pointed to Wang Chengen and the others outside the palace.

"If you count on them, sooner or later the inheritance of our ancestors will be lost in my hands!"

"The Master's Wrath"

Wang Chengen, Gao Shiming and others were so frightened that they knelt down with pale faces.

"Master, the minions believe that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee also have loyal to their duties, and with the blessing of the ancestors, the world will slowly get better."

Chongzhen couldn't help but look up and sigh, and a cloudy tear slipped down the corner of his eye.

In the next few days, nothing was done in the court, just for the aftermath of Yang Sichang, Fu Zonglong and others, a group of ministers had already quarreled.

Of course, the people in the Chu Party headed by Yao Minggong wanted to give Yang Sichang a verdict of public loyalty to the country, but a group of speech officials mainly from Donglin made a big attack on Yang Sichang on the grounds that Yang Sichang lost his land and defeated the army, and they were fighting in the court.

It wasn't until February 29 that Chongzhen finally made up his mind and decided to pursue Yang Sichang, Fu Zonglong and others, which could be regarded as a conclusion on the matter.

However, when the matter finally passed, and Chongzhen asked the thief again in the court, the court fell into silence.

After three days of silence in the court, Chongzhen's temper began to become more and more irritable day by day.

Wang Chengen and the others saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, but at this time, they in the palace couldn't do anything, so they could only do it in a hurry.

Fortunately, at this time, Liu Ximing's recital on the epidemic prevention in the Central Plains arrived in Taiwan Province slowly, allowing Wang Chengen and others to seize a glimmer of hope in the dark.

"Emperor, a happy event, a great happy event."

As soon as he got Liu Ximing's recital, Wang Chengen rushed towards the Qianqing Palace with great joy.

On the throne, Chongzhen didn't raise his head when he heard his words, "What a happy event, which city did the thieves break and kill the pro-vassal clan?" ”

"Master", Wang Chengen was so shocked that he fell to his knees.

Chongzhen snorted and did not continue to vent his emotions.

Wang Chengen kowtowed and said: "Emperor, it is indeed a happy event, the new Anbo and the governor of the Central Plains, Liu Ximing, handed over the excerpt, saying that the epidemic in the six provinces of the Central Plains has been greatly eased, and it will subside by the end of the next year." ”

"In addition, in October this year, the thief Li Zicheng led the crowd from Dengzhou, and Xin'anbo actually mobilized the people of the whole state to intercept it at Shangluo Pass, although the militia failed to exterminate the thieves after the training, but also beheaded more than 5,000 people."

"Really?"

Chongzhen, who had heard the bad news for a long time, woke up suddenly, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to ask Wang Chengen to hand over the fold.

After scanning the contents of the fold a few times, Chongzhen laughed on the spot.

"After hearing so much bad news, I finally heard good news, a good new Amber, and it is not in vain that I trust him so much. Now that the epidemic situation in the Central Plains has calmed down, it is somewhat beneficial to the world. ”

Wang Chengen showed a smile and continued: "Emperor, can you see the last paragraph in the fold?" ”

Chongzhen's eyes lit up and he looked at the fold again, his mind was on the success of the epidemic prevention that Liu Ximing said, but he didn't notice what he said later.

"Hahaha, the new Amber is really both civil and military", Chongzhen's eyes lit up after speaking.

He looked at Wang Chengen and said, "Do you mean that Xin Anbo can take over Yang Sichang's task of suppressing Kou?" ”

Wang Chengen nodded with a playful face, "Isn't the emperor angry that no one in the court is willing to take on this responsibility, the slave thinks that Xin'an Bo can be civil and martial, and he has always been good at doing things, if His Majesty orders it, he should not shirk it." ”

Chongzhen nodded as he listened, a smile of relief on his tired face.

"Yes, the new Amber can win a small victory with a group of temporarily organized militias, if he is allowed to lead the troops, this matter may really be done, where is the new Amber now, you will go to the draft order, and ask him what he thinks?"

Wang Chengen responded with a quick hand and foot at the moment, and hurried to write the holy decree.
