Chapter 12 Loyalty and Righteousness

Originally, no matter which of these three people, whether it was loyalty or business ability, they were all reliable candidates for the commander of the Jinyi Guard in Emperor Chongzhen's mind.

It's a pity that they lack qualifications and prestige, and their backgrounds are average, even if they have the support of Emperor Chongzhen, I am afraid that they do not have much confidence to fight against the powerful civil official group.

You must know that the commander of Jinyiwei does all the work that offends people, and he doesn't have some background and Taoism, so it is difficult for him to be qualified for this position.

Especially in the current special period, Emperor Chongzhen has no time to wait for them to grow up, he needs a strong Jinyi Guard commander, who can do things in a hurry as soon as he comes to power.

Then, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate way to choose one of the close relatives.

Loyalty, ability, age, character, identity...... None of them are indispensable.

Fingers tapped on the imperial case, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes closed slightly, and combined these conditions in his mind, he selected and excluded the children of the capital one by one, and finally got the candidate he liked.

"Liu Wenyao, the governor of Xuanzuo, and Gong Yonggu, the commander of the horses, immediately entered the palace to meet him."

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Chongzhen simply closed his slightly tired eyes and commanded softly.

"Yes!"

Behind the screen, a figure bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, then got up and lifted the robe skirt and hurried out.

With a beep, the burning candle woke up Emperor Chongzhen, who had taken a nap unconsciously.

At this time, the sky was as dark as ink, and I didn't know what time it was.

Stretching his arms comfortably, the tiredness disappeared, and Emperor Chongzhen felt full of strength again.

Speaking of which, the former Emperor Chongzhen was diligent and studious, and he was successful in both civil and military affairs.

Wen Neng recited poems and painted, and Wu Neng pulled a bow and rode a horse.

However, this is not what the successor Emperor Chongzhen cares about.

All he cares about is having a good body.

After all, the body is the capital of the revolution!

But in the light of it, there should be no need for him to have such concerns.

Historically, the deity has been dressed and fed all night, and has repeatedly suffered major mental blows, but people are still jumping around, which is enough to show that the body is strong.

"Emperor, Liu Dudu and Gong Juma have been waiting for more than half an hour."

In my ears, there was a proclamation from the little yellow door on duty.

"Why don't you wake me up?"

Emperor Chongzhen's face was unhappy, and he asked in a deep voice.

Liu Wenyao and Gong Yonggu are like loyal and righteous old kings, they are the most loyal people, and Emperor Chongzhen naturally cares a lot.

"Your Majesty, it's not about the little father-in-law, it's the ministers who don't let you go."

Hearing the voice, Liu Wenyao outside the screen replied.

Then, Gong Yonggu, the captain of the horse who was with Liu Wenyao, also explained: "I heard the little father-in-law say that Your Majesty has not slept all night since yesterday.

Today, from sunrise to sunset, he worked diligently in government affairs, and did not have a moment of rest. Now that it's hard to take a break, how can the ministers bear to disturb? ”

There's nothing wrong with that.

Emperor Chongzhen bowed slightly, and did not hold Xiao Huangmen responsible.

While speaking, the two came in to see Emperor Chongzhen and bowed down.

"The two of you are exempt." Emperor Chongzhen raised his hands and replied softly.

At the same time, he ordered all the eunuchs in the room to leave the palace so that they had time to look at them.

Gong Yonggu is younger, it is the age of sharpness, standing there, it is like a sharp sword, heroic and compelling.

In comparison, although Liu Wenyao is not much more solid than Gong Yonggu, because he has always had a position, he walks around the court, and he seems introverted and calm.

The personalities of the two, moving and quiet, are probably the first feeling of Emperor Chongzhen.

All gave Emperor Chongzhen a good impression, without the vanity of the children of Xun Qi, no wonder they could get the appreciation and trust of the deity.

Liu Wenyao and his elder brother Liu Wenbing, the Marquis of Xinle, are the sons of the emperor's own uncle, and the three are cousins.

Historically, the deity had great trust in Liu Wenbing, Liu Wenyao, and Gong Yonggu, the Marquis of Xinle, and granted them the right to report directly to the king.

This is a very rare honor in the Ming Dynasty, where relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics.

Of course, Liu Wenbing and the three of them did not live up to the trust of the deity.

They are not only loyal, but also very capable, and they are good helpers of the previous Emperor Chongzhen.

In January of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the rebel army of the courier brother was like a bamboo, and the Ming Dynasty was in danger.

When Liu Wenbing and the others discussed state affairs with the deity, they proposed to the deity that King Ding and King Yong should be vassal as soon as possible. King Ding went to Shandong, King Yong went to Sichuan, and the crown prince retreated to Nanjing to supervise the country.

In this way, even if the rebels capture the capital, there is still a lot of room for maneuver.

To put it mildly, they scattered everywhere, leaving behind the spark of revolution in order to make a comeback.

The deity agrees with it and thinks that this is a very correct suggestion.

But the sad thing is that it was temporarily postponed because of the lack of money in the house.

It's going to kill you!

In the end, the rebels attacked the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen prepared with both hands, making Liu Wenbing and Gong Yonggu responsible for protecting the crown prince Zhu Cihong from the capital, and Liu Wenyao protecting King Yong and King Ding to escape.

In the end, Liu Wenbing, Gong Yonggu and the prince were separated and did not succeed.

On the day of the city's breaking, Liu Wenbing's family hanged themselves with 42 mouths and threw themselves into wells.

And Gong Yonggu and the princess left five children, the eldest of whom was only twelve or thirteen years old.

He called out his children, tied them all to the princess's coffin with yellow ropes, and said, "You are the princess's children, the emperor's nephews, and you must not be humiliated!" ”

Then all the wine was poured on the coffin, and the only remaining relics of the princess were taken out, as well as all the calligraphy, paintings and articles, and the whole family set fire to the princess's body and set themselves on fire.

At the same time, among the noble emperors in the capital, Zhang Qingzhen, Hui'anbo, drank with his wife, accumulated salaries, and burned the whole family to death; Xincheng Hou Guodian was also burned to death; Xuancheng Bowei was pregnant with iron coupons in the spring, and went to the well to die behind closed doors.

These five self-hanged self-hangings, throwing themselves into wells, self-immolating self-immolations, and allegiance to the Ming Dynasty with their deaths, it is really tragic.

And Liu Wenyao is alert and flexible, so that his eighty-year-old grandmother and King Yong and King Ding disguised themselves as refugees, and successfully escaped from the capital under the cover of him and his generals.

Since then, in history, King Yong and King Ding have disappeared, and their whereabouts have become a mystery, which can be regarded as leaving a trace of blood for the royal family.

However, after the loyal Liu Wenyao completed the entrustment of the deity, he actually came back to protect the palace.

However, the development of the situation has been powerless.

After seeing the situation of his family, Liu Wenyao was inexplicably sad and died by the well.

Later, the Southern Ming Dynasty honored the ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty, Liu Wenbing's name was the first, and he posthumously presented the Taishi Hengguo Gong, nicknamed "Zhongzhuang", Liu Wenyao was called "Zhongguo", and Gong Yonggu was called "Zhenchou".

Alack! The noble family, the same country, loyalty and righteousness!

Remembering these, Emperor Chongzhen's tears loomed, and he quietly lowered his head and covered his face with the sleeves of his robe.

"Why does Your Majesty have a look on his face, I wonder if the ministers can solve their problems?"

Liu Wenyao noticed the unnatural state of Emperor Chongzhen, as a cousin, a person of the same age, and did not have the restraint of a foreign minister, and asked.

Hearing this, the corners of Emperor Chongzhen's mouth raised, and his mood was slightly better.

"Hey!"

With a long sigh, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the two of them and considered his words.
