The factory guard is directly under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, and its head, whether it is the commander of the East Factory or the commander of the Jinyi Guard, must be the emperor's most confidant and the emperor's minions.

However, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the commander of the Jinyi Guard who was saluting in front of him, but he didn't have this feeling of being a confidant. As Xue Guoguan Xue Manzi said, the improper factory guards are the only ones who are corrupt and corrupt. Whether it is Cao Huachun or this Luo Yang, everything he does is actually lying on Daming's body to suck blood.

However, now that the means have just been used against the East Factory, it is not appropriate to move the Jinyi Guard for the time being! Emperor Chongzhen thought so in his heart, so he said lightly: "Flat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luo Yang replied with full of energy, and then stood by.

For some reason, he had an intuition in his heart that the emperor seemed to be different from before, at least in his attitude towards him, there were some subtle changes. This feeling made him slightly vigilant and became more "righteous".

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and said lightly: "Luo Qing, your father made a lot of contributions to the war against the Japanese in Korea, and I remember it all in my heart!" ”

In the Ming Dynasty's war against Japanese aggression and aid to Korea, Jinyiwei contributed a lot. Although it was not Luo Sigong, the father of Luo Yangxing, who personally participated, he was the chief official after all, and the credit also went to him.

In fact, it is also because Luo Sigong's credit is relatively large, therefore, after the original Emperor Chongzhen killed Wei Zhongxian, he let this Luo Yangxing, who had an enmity with Wei Zhongxian, take over the position of Jinyiwei commander.

Luo Yangxing, who was standing with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, didn't know why the emperor suddenly mentioned this, and wondered in his heart, so he hurriedly said modestly: "My Majesty still remembers the credit of my father, if my father is still there, I will be ashamed!" “

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a sneer, and then his tone turned cold and said: "Oh, I thought that the person who was ashamed should be Luo Qing, right?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Luo Yangxing suddenly felt a thunderbolt from the sky, and the emperor was dissatisfied with himself! He hurriedly knelt down and was reprimanded.

"Your father has merit, but he was murdered by Wei and died. Therefore, I promoted you to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, hoping that you can inherit your father's business, continue to serve the Ming Dynasty, and make some achievements! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, his voice suddenly raised, and he continued loudly: "But, what about you? You've disappointed me so much! ”

"The last will be guilty!" Luo Yangxing felt a chill in his back when he heard this, and guessed in his heart that he didn't know who had accused him of blackness, and he fell to the ground and pleaded guilty.

"Liaodong Manchu Qing is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty! It should be the key goal of your Jinyiwei! As Emperor Chongzhen spoke, he stood up, pointed at Luo Yangxing with his finger, and asked sharply, "However, how many times have the Tartars detoured through Mongolia to enter the customs, and Jinyiwei can have a wire report?" Is there a warning? Look at you, but you have half the power of your father? ”

I have to say that Emperor Chongzhen's tone was already a little heavy, and Luo Yangxing was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't know why the emperor suddenly came to turn over this account at this time? You must know that this is the fourth time that the Manchu army has entered the customs. Why didn't you think of this three times ago, but now you come to investigate, what happened in the middle?

"Also, why did every time the Manchu army entered the customs, it was when the thieves were cornered? Why did the imperial court have to let go of the thieves and transfer troops to the king at such a critical time? The Manchu army is in Liaodong, across the Shanhai Pass, it can't be so coincidental every time, right? ”

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen knew in his heart that nine times out of ten it was a famous Jin merchant who did a good job. However, he couldn't break it.

It is now the end of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and the Jin merchants are definitely behemoths. If you don't have subordinates who you can really trust all the time, you must not directly and blatantly confront the Jin merchants.

With the current strength of Jin Shang, it is really not too easy to buy some people. Not to mention the civil and military generals, whether there are Jin merchants in the factory guards, and whether there are Jin merchants in the palace, who can guarantee it?

Emperor Chongzhen has not forgotten what he heard in the inner study hall, someone outside the palace has invested in the little eunuch, this matter is definitely a problem!

Even if you don't talk about it, it is difficult to say whether those people who are now in charge of military power or among the feudal officials of one side are bought by Jin merchants or are in the same stream.

If in terms of official position, Lu Xiangsheng also served as the governor of Xuanda, and Yang Guozhu was still the chief soldier of Xuanfu, all of whom were in the territory of the Jin merchants. Could it be that both of them are from Jin Shang or a gang? Emperor Chongzhen did not believe this conclusion.

It is also for this reason that to deal with Jin Shang, it is necessary to plan and then act. Knocking on Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but not referring to Jin Shang, it was a scare by Emperor Chongzhen to see what effect could be achieved.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's questions were so sweaty that Luo Yang's brain was sweating, and he didn't dare to desert anymore in his heart, prostrate there, just pleading guilty.

I gave him a stick first, and when I saw that the effect was almost there, Emperor Chongzhen's tone softened a little and said: "I look at your father's merits, and I am telling you this, not to cure your crimes, but to restore the prestige of Jinyiwei!" Can you be like your father, understand? ”

Listen, there is a bit of hatred for iron and steel, which means that the emperor still regards himself as a confidant. Thinking so, Luo Yangxing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, didn't dare to wipe his sweat, and hurriedly thanked him, saying that he must learn from his father to work hard.

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen's tone softened a little more, and he sat back, and at the same time instructed Luo Yangxing: "Get up and speak!" ”

"Thank you for the emperor's grace!" Luo Yangxing hurriedly thanked him, and after getting up, he wiped his sweat, and stood with his hands down, respectfully.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him, and said in a slightly stern tone: "Now that the Manchu army is raging in the Guannei, I am very worried. It's not that I don't have an elite army, and if I really want to gather it, I believe that this Manchu army will not be as unscrupulous as it is now. For this reason, no matter what the actual situation is, Luo Qing spread the news to me, saying that the Yongwei Battalion, the Guanning Army, the Qin Army, etc., have all arrived in the land of Gyeonggi and will soon join the Manchu army. This news should be spread as quickly as possible, and the wider the better! The sooner you can let the Manchu Tartars find out about this news, the better! Got it? ”

"The last general understands!" When Luo Yangxing heard this, he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "The last general will do it immediately!" ”

"Okay, let's go!" When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he saw that Luo Yangxing wanted to leave, so he reminded again, "I just said the matter, I hope Luo Qing can also give me a result, even if it is temporarily difficult, I must give me a plan, understand?" ”

"The last general understands!" While Luo Yangxing answered, he was also depressed in his heart: How did Tartar know about the things in Daming Pass? On the Tartar side, how to install the brocade guard?

Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to have anything to explain, he hurried to complete the new task assigned by the emperor.

Luo Yangxing understands that at this time, the emperor is already dissatisfied with him, if he can't perform better on this new task and can't work hard, then the new accounts and old accounts will be counted together, and the emperor will be removed from office and investigated!

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that he was about to leave the palace, he seemed to have just remembered something, so he said to him again: "The duties of the Jinyi Guard, Luo Qing must be remembered in his heart, but don't let me down again!" ”

This sentence, on the bright side, seems to be a summary of what happened just now. However, Luo Yangxing didn't know why, but he was a chuckle in his heart, and his intuition told him that it seemed that the emperor's dissatisfaction with Jinyiwei was not just what he had just said.

Thinking of this, his heart was a little heavy, and he hurriedly took the order again before withdrawing.

He didn't know that when he left, there was already one more thing than when he came, that is, the eavesdropping seed that he couldn't see, touch, or feel, and Emperor Chongzhen had rewarded him just now.

After he left, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Chen Baoting and other chamberlains, and casually pointed to a stack of separately released pieces on the imperial table and said, "These pieces are all sent to Xue Ge Lao!" ”

To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to deal with Zhangzhang all day long. However, the matters in the chapter must be handled cautiously, from a small point of view to things that affect one person and one family, and from a big point of view, that is, things that affect a county, a government, or even a province or even the whole country.
