In the first year of Chongzhen, the first day of the lunar month.

It was still snowing in the sky, and the snowflakes were flying all over the sky.

Wang Chengen has been in Naturalization City for two days, but he didn't go to Wang Zezhi for the first time.

It's about looking around.

Even though it's winter, the city is still bustling.

It was a sight he had never seen in the capital.

On this day, Wang Chengen no longer waited.

He came to Wang Zezhi.

Naturalization City, in Wang Zezhi's room.

"General Wang, it's been a long time.

It's not easy to see General Wang. ”

Wang Chengen said with a smile when he saw Wang Zezhi.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's the last general who has neglected the adult."

Wang Zezhi hurriedly gave a salute.

"The food and drinks will be ready for you, please take a seat."

When Wang Chengen arrived at Datong Mansion, Wang Zezhi received the news, and when he left Datong Mansion, Wang Zezhi also knew, and even when they were resting at the Yunchuan Inn, he knew it.

So Wang Zezhi prepared the wine and food early.

"There is a lack of materials here, and I can't cook any good dishes, so I hope adults don't dislike it."

Wang Zezhi pointed to a plate of beef, a plate of mutton, and a plate of shredded potatoes on the table, handed Wang Chengen a chair, and stretched out his hand to lead him.

Wang Chengen sat down, picked up chopsticks with a smile and tasted a bite of shredded potatoes.

He had eaten beef and mutton, but he had never eaten shredded potatoes, so it was natural to try shredded potatoes first.

"Well, it tastes good." Wang Chengen put down his chopsticks after eating, put away his smile, and his whole person became more and more gloomy.

"I wonder if the adults want to arrest me or kill me?"

Wang Zezhi ate a piece of beef and drank a glass of wine.

"What did General Wang say? It's not as bad as you think, and the king of Shanxi's chief soldier obeys the order. ”

Wang Chengen stood up and said solemnly.

"The last general's decree."

"According to the emperor's instructions, the king of Shanxi's chief soldiers, exterminated the squires and rebelled, and served the country loyally, and I was very relieved.

Wang Zezhi's confiscated income does not need to be handed over, and all the rewards will be returned and used as military salaries at the border gates.

I hope that Zezhi can perceive the will of heaven, serve the country loyally, speed up the rearmament of the army, and quickly recover the Hetao, so as to live up to my high hopes.

Wang Zezhi seized the letter of the minister of the DPRK and the central government who collaborated with the enemy, and sent it to Beijing immediately on the day of receiving the decree without delay. ”

After Wang Chengen finished speaking, he bowed in the direction of the capital, and then sat down.

After hearing this, Wang Zezhi blinked, he was thinking about recovering the reward of Guihua City?

"That's it?"

"What more does General Wang want? Do you want to be in the Ming Dynasty? ”

Wang Chengen picked up the chopsticks and tasted another bite of shredded potatoes, and joked with a smile.

"Hehe... Lord Wang laughed. ”

"yes, let's talk." Wang Chengen put down his chopsticks and looked at Wang Zezhi.

"Okay."

"As soon as I left the capital that day, I knew that the general was not a thing in the pool.

Leaving the capital that day is the hidden dragon out of the abyss, and the sky is high for you to fly from now on.

Come, you and I will drink one. ”

Wang Chengen raised his wine glass and touched it with Wang Zezhi, and the two drank it all.

"Lord Wang is cautious, saying such things will kill your head." Wang Zezhi got up, retreated left and right, and then returned to the table.

"General Wang doesn't know, on the surface, I am the head of the inner court, but in the eyes of those Manchu ministers, what am I?

Not male, neither female, neither yin nor yang, neither male nor female.

In their eyes, I don't have any ability, I can only rely on the emperor's support and do nothing.

Let me tell you a heartfelt word.

Whenever the ministers gave me money and bowed to me, I guessed with my toes that they knew what they were scolding me. ”

Wang Zezhi knew that Wang Chengen was acting, and he wasn't really complaining. 228 Literature Network

There is another thing he knows, Wang Chengen is loyal to Chongzhen.

"Lord Wang doesn't have to be presumptuous, others don't know, but the last general knows Lord Wang's heart for the emperor."

"Oh? How so? As soon as Wang Chengen heard what Wang Ze said, he came to his senses.

"On that day, I was placed under house arrest by the emperor in another courtyard, and Lord Wang personally came to the door to persuade the last general to serve the country.

The last will not dare to forget. ”

Wang Chengen thought about it for a while, he gave Wang Zezhi the decree that day, and after the announcement, he said a lot of words.

He was worried that Wang Zezhi would hold a grudge against Chongzhen and put him under house arrest, so he persuaded him bitterly, and even did not hesitate to make an alliance with Wang Zezhi.

"I am no longer the innocent boy I used to be, General Wang just said a few words, I know that you are from the bottom of your heart.

Unlike those hypocrites in the DPRK and China, one set in front of the face and another behind the back. ”

Wang Zezhi really admired Wang Chengen, on the day the capital was broken by Li Zicheng, the Manchu Dynasty fled and surrendered, and only one Wang Chengen committed suicide in the coal mountain with Chongzhen.

The true feelings were revealed, and Wang Chengen still felt it.

"If you're serious, you won't rebel, right?" Wang Chengen suddenly became serious.

"The emperor's kindness to the last general is as deep as the sea.

The last general swore allegiance to the emperor in this life.

The last general will take the revitalization of the Ming Dynasty as his own responsibility.

The last general made an oath here, if the emperor gave the last general the right to make arbitrary decisions, within five years, the last general would definitely recover the Hetao and put down the Tatar disaster in one fell swoop. ”

When Wang Zezhi heard Wang Chengen's words, he immediately knelt on the ground and bowed in the direction of the capital.

Wang Chengen said so much to make Wang Zezhi let go of the defense in his heart, and suddenly asked this sentence to test whether Wang Zezhi was sincere or hypocritical.

"Okay, okay, I'm relieved that you can think so."

Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, let's have a drink."

"."

Wang Zezhi and Wang Chengen touched a cup and drank it all again.

"Then, Datong Mansion falsely passed the holy decree.

Now you're opening a private market again.

Privately beheading seventy-eight squires is a capital crime.

Hey, I know the emperor too well, if the emperor knows that this is all your handiwork, you are afraid that your life will be in danger. ”

Wang Chengen ate the dishes by himself, and said very casually.

It's like he knew a long time ago that the fake proclamation of the holy decree was done by Wang Zezhi.

In fact, Wang Chengen did not find relevant evidence, he just guessed based on clues.

Wang Zezhi dared to kill the seventy-eight hometown gentry without saying a word, and also raided the house, and the family even risked killing the head to open a private market.

"My lord, isn't it the emperor's will to clear the walls of Datong Mansion?

Who is it that someone is falsely preaching the holy decree? What a bold man, isn't this a deception? ”

Wang Zezhi knew that Wang Chengen was deceiving him, so he stood up in fright and made a frightened and angry expression.

When the decree was falsely proclaimed, all the returning cavalry would return to the guerrilla camp under the cover of tea stalls and vendors.

If Wang Chengen goes to investigate this matter, at most he can only find out Taiyuan Mansion.

As for where these cavalry went to Taiyuan Mansion, I'm afraid I can't find out.

Therefore, Wang Zezhi just concluded that Wang Chengen was deceiving him.

If Wang Zezhi stupidly admits it, I am afraid that he will die without a place to be buried.

"Oh? I really don't know? Wang Chengen has no evidence in his hand, even if he is sure that Wang Zezhi did this, he can't show it.

"The last general really doesn't know, please explain your doubts." Wang Zezhi said sincerely.

At this moment, Wang Chengen was also a little uncertain, the most important thing was that he did not have conclusive evidence in his hands.

"Since you didn't do it, don't talk about it.

I dare to ask you on behalf of the emperor, is General Wang serious about recovering the Hetao in five years? ”

Wang Chengen is worthy of being mixed up in the palace, and he has been brilliant in his speaking attainments.

One moment it is called Zezhi, and the other time it is called a general.

Every time he speaks, he has a purpose.

Calling Zezhi is to make him let go of his psychological defense, and calling him a general is to make him serious.

When they came out of the palace, they all spoke in a set.
