Chapter 356: Proving Innocence
Chongzhen's face was full of red light, and it could be seen that Chang Yu had been looking forward to returning to Beijing for too long.
"What you did in Beijing this time was really beyond my expectations, giving me a big surprise, I never thought that the civil and military officials in the court were not as good as a little eunuch in my inner palace, and I never thought that to this day, when natural disasters and man-made disasters are internal and external troubles, the people who turn the tide are actually the people around my inner palace, but those courtiers and officials are incompetent but can't tolerate you, but I hate that one by one is waiting for the Zhu family to fall, I can't wait to kill them all!"
Chongzhen originally wanted to praise Chang Yu, but the more he talked, the more angry he became, and even seriously murderous, you can imagine what he was forced to be in the court during this time, and how much pressure he was on.
"The small one is a royal servant, the liver and brain of the main family should be smeared, and it is really appropriate to break the bones for the Ming Dynasty, and the small one is incompetent, I can't wait to sweep away the world's cancer for the emperor, and return the Ming Dynasty to Qingning" Chang Yu got up and bowed, with a sad and angry face.
"You are already very good, you are already very good, the treasury of the imperial court is empty, you have thought of a way, the frontier soldiers are in arrears of pay and food, and the thieves are besieging Taiyuan with heavy troops, and they are also the first to retreat from the thieves, Chang Yu, you are too surprising to me, too surprising to me, you are really my blessing to the Ming Dynasty" Chongzhen came back to his breath and began to pour all kinds of honey again.
Chang Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, this is the emperor's technique.
"The emperor praises it, but the little one is ashamed to be"
"You deserve it"
Chongzhen stood up with a sigh: "Do you know, in recent years, the thieves have flourished, the Quartet has been poisonous, and then I have poured all the silver of the treasury and sent the soldiers of the whole country to encircle and suppress, but every time it is useless, the thief army has become more and more arrogant, growing stronger and stronger, and finally becoming a scourge, for more than a few years, I have tossed and turned all night, and it is difficult to sleep, all with this heart disease, but the day before yesterday, I heard that the Taiyuan thieves retreated, and I couldn't sleep all night, but I was excited and couldn't sleep, just because I hadn't heard such good news for several years!" ”
"A small fluke, and this matter is not the work of a small person, Zhu Xianxuan, the king of Jin, Cai Maode, the governor of Taiyuan, Zhou Yuji, the chief soldier of Sanguan, and tens of thousands of soldiers under his subordinates worked together to defeat the thieves in a bloody battle!" Chang Yu hurriedly said.
Chongzhen laughed when he heard this: "Very good, very good, don't take credit, don't take credit, I heard that you have rectified military affairs in Taiyuan, strictly controlled military regulations and achieved extraordinary results, and took the lead, personally went into battle to kill the enemy, and even went deep into the enemy camp to assassinate the thief leader Li Laiheng, but is it true?" ”
"The little one has always hated thieves and brought disaster to the country and the people, and he can't wait to pick up the skin and cramp, so when he first arrived in the battle, he acted recklessly and added a lot of chaos to General Zhou!" Although Chang Yu's words are humble, he is also showing that yes, what he said is true, I am so awesome.
Chongzhen couldn't help laughing again: "You don't leave Zhou Yuji in three sentences, it seems that the two of you are even happy to cooperate, Zhou Yuji has three excerpts during this time, two of which have involved you in your arbitrary actions, but the last fold is very appreciative of you, very impressed, it is reported that the thieves besieged Taiyuan the day before yesterday, and almost broke the city when it was Kankan, the critical moment is that you led your troops out of the city to relieve Taiyuan and defeat the thief army, Chang Yu, you are really bold, really reckless! It's really arbitrary, but I want to ask who in the government and the opposition has such courage as you! ”
"I dare not be ashamed" Chang Yu sighed secretly in his heart, Chongzhen, how much do you love me now, it's almost there, you hold me so high, you will drop me to death if you pull your hand later.
"You don't have to be so humble, Wang Chengyin, Cai Maode, and Zhou Yuji all have a twist and turn in Beijing, which all mention you without saying anything, although there are thin words, but the evaluation of you is quite pertinent, and even Wei Jingyu of Datong is also very appreciative, otherwise how can I rest assured that the matter of the Taiyuan overseer will be handed over to you!" A sneer slid at the corner of Chongzhen's mouth in an instant, but he was caught by Chang Yu.
Chang Yu was suddenly promoted quickly, and he was the governor of Dongchang and the overseer of Taiyuan, and it seemed that he was favored by Chongzhen to the extreme, which made outsiders question all kinds of questions, but in fact, Chang Yu himself really knew best, Chongzhen's move was just a desperate bet, to put it bluntly, he was gambling.
He can't trust the ministers of the court, so he can only hope for the eunuchs of the inner palace.
Chang Yu has the ability to make money, and Chongzhen knows the royal loyalty, which is the best as a knife, but the Overseer Taiyuan is gambling, of course, the biggest thought is to find a back.
Regardless of being a knife envoy or carrying a black pot Chang Yu's heart is bright and willing, so he knows that it seems to be pampered, but in fact, Chongzhen is not wary of him, Wu Mengming, Fang San, and even Qin Xing and other stall heads of Dongchang are not monitors, he believes that what he does every day is at least a number of secret letters sent to Chongzhen's case, and the twists and turns of those officials are also a side record of what he did.
"I heard that during your time in Taiyuan, you personally went into battle to kill the enemy, and you almost fought with the leaders of the thieves, killing and capturing the first few thieves, and you were seriously injured in several places, and the heaviest one was shot through the calf, but is it true?" Chongzhen asked suddenly.
Chang Yu bowed: "A little injury, it's not worth the saint's concern, and the thief doesn't dare to take credit, it's Teng Xiangwei's Tu Yuan......" Chang Yu was talking, and suddenly saw Chongzhen get up and walk straight to him: "Let me see your injury, he will let those wastes in the court come to see what kind of hero my internal officials are!" ”
"Your Majesty, a little injured ......," Chang Yu hurriedly said.
"Show me" Chongzhen raised his eyebrows, and his tone was firm.
Next to him, Zhu Cihong and Wang Chengen had solemn expressions, and Chang Yu suddenly felt that the air was a little dignified.
"Your Majesty......" Chang Yu wanted to say something again, but when he saw Chongzhen's expression was different, he stopped talking, and stretched out his hand to undress.
Chang Yu walked all the way in armor, and only went to the armor when the prince greeted him for ten miles, only wearing cotton clothes, at this time, he went to his coat in three or two, and then untied his underwear, and a strong muscle was immediately displayed in front of everyone, Wang Chenen couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
But Chongzhen's face darkened instantly, and he took a few steps back and pointed at Chang Yu's sad and indignant face: "You, you, even you are deceiving, I didn't think that you are also a clever person, this, who else in this world can be trusted!" ”
"The emperor has never deceived the king!"
"Shut up, you damn minion" Chongzhen shouted: "Wu Mengming, Cai Maode, Zhou Yuji, etc., everyone up and down said that you charged into the bloody battlefield, but then, where are the scars on your body?" What a factory supervisor, what a good means, I can make them all willing to do merit for you, but it's ridiculous that I ......" Chongzhen said and covered his chest, coughing heavily, and was so angry that he was speechless.
It seems that he is really sad, Wang Chengen hurriedly went to help: "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry."
Zhu Cihong clenched his teeth, his eyes were sad: "Chang ......"
"Your Majesty, Rong Xiao's explanation"
When Chang Yu saw this, he knew that if he continued to hide it, something big would happen!
Then he knelt down with a puff: "Your Majesty, the small ones are nothing more than open their mouths to the Ming Dynasty and the royal loyalty, and the small ones have never thought of taking credit, and the small ones just want to make a big tomorrow Qingning, and they are not selfish and selfless, and your colleagues are small and good, although the small ones are ashamed, but they will never let them bear the stigma!" The little ones want to prove that they are not fooling the emperor with their words."
"How else do you have to prove it! How can you prove that you are not a party camp and are colluding with each other? I'm afraid that you never expected me to personally examine my injuries" Chongzhen roared angrily, with a sad face: "Chang Yu, even if you make a show, you can pick a hole for me to see......"
"Your Majesty, the small one is to prove it to you" Chang Yu said and glanced at the dragon case in front of him: "Princess, can you take that pair of scissors to the small one?" ”
Weapons are forbidden in the harem, but the candles in ancient times had to be cut off every once in a while because of the carbonization of the wick, so scissors were prepared in the room.
"What are you going to do?"
Wang Chenen's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but be frightened, and he even shouted loudly to the eunuchs outside the hall to come to the rescue.
"Your Majesty, do you really believe that you can't believe it? Prince, can't you believe it? Chang Yu looked at Chongzhen and asked Zhu Cihong with a sideways look.
Chongzhen and the prince were shocked when they heard that Chang Yu wanted scissors at first, thinking that he was going to commit murder, but after thinking about it, this product is extremely powerful, and if he wants to commit murder, he can put it on the three of them with his bare hands, and he can also get the scissors himself, so why bother Wang Chengen.
After figuring out this key, he knew that Chang Yu was definitely not going to commit murder, Chongzhen felt a little calm, and said to Wang Chenen: "Take him."
"Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen is still not at ease.
"What nonsense"
Chongzhen shouted angrily!
Wang Chengen didn't dare to slack off, and took the scissors to Chang Yu: "If you want to commit murder, kill our family first!" ”
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "The loyal person of the prince, the little one admires and sets an example, and how to do that big rebellious thing" said and took the scissors and thrust it into his left arm.
With a muffled snort, the scissors dug deeper into his shoulders and more than five fingers, and blood gushed out.
"What are you doing at this time?" Chongzhen was shocked.
