"Huh?" Yang Guozhu listened, a little didn't know what it meant, and said in confusion.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't need him to ask, so he briefly talked about his plan, and then said to him solemnly: "This matter still depends on you, understand?" ”

"No, sir!" When Yang Guozhu heard this, he immediately responded a little excitedly, "No, my lord, let's replace it!" ”

"The Tartars won't say yes." Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "Needless to say, it's decided!" “

The next day, in the evening, in the Forbidden City of Beijing, a group of eunuchs were clustered around the heart of the eunuch Wang of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, listening to his orders from time to time, and then flattering one after another, and the atmosphere was also harmonious.

But at this moment, he heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves outside the palace gate, which made Wang Zhixin a little surprised, raised his head and looked in that direction and said: "It's really eventful, so in a hurry, the emperor is afraid that he will be unhappy again!" ”

"No, the previous thing has just subsided, and there is still some bad news here, it's no wonder that the emperor's mood can be so good! We're having a hard time these days...... "A eunuch hurriedly echoed.

Hearing this, Wang Zhixin was a little unhappy, turned around and glanced at him coldly, and interrupted coldly: "Our family's mood is just better, which pot are you not opening and mentioning?" ”

He was also one of the eight palm print eunuchs who wrote confessions, so he naturally didn't like others to mention his punishment again. Even if the emperor lifted it high and gently let them go, he was not happy to mention it again!

"Damn it, baby, this stinky mouth, daddy don't be like a child!" The eunuch was startled when he heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth, and at the same time pleaded guilty.

When Wang Zhixin saw it, he snorted coldly and said, "Your stinky mouth, you really should be beaten!" ”

Then he ignored the man, turned and left.

At this moment, at the fork in the road, there was the sound of hurried footsteps. Wang Zhixin looked up, but saw a person who was also wearing a big red python robe, looking tired, dusty, and several eunuchs came in a hurry.

"Hey, Gonggong Cao, why are you in such a hurry?" Wang Zhixin immediately showed a friendly smile and hurriedly greeted.

The person who came was Cao Huachun, who rushed back day and night, and he couldn't walk steadily, so he had to be supported by his eunuchs to walk. That's it, and he keeps urging "hurry up, hurry up".

Hearing the voice, Cao Huachun looked up, and naturally recognized it as the heart of the eunuch king in the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor.

"Father-in-law Cao, you are lucky, you escaped a catastrophe!" Wang Zhixin smiled bitterly again, "You don't know, something bad happened in the palace......"

He didn't allow his subordinates to talk about unfortunate things, but it was necessary for a eunuch of the same level to say a few words and explain a thing or two by the way.

However, he didn't finish speaking, Cao Huachun, who had already arrived at the front, not only did not respond with a smile, but looked at him coldly, "snorted" heavily, and then did not stop, and still left in a hurry.

Wang Zhixin was suddenly a little stupid, looking at Cao Huachun's back, and thinking in his heart: Why is it so angry, our family recruited you to provoke you? You didn't write a confession, you should be happy that we made the emperor unhappy, right? I don't know what to do, and I didn't step on your tail?

suffered a cold face for no reason, and Wang Zhixin was not happy, so he got angry and left by himself.

He didn't know that since he was one of the eight palm seal eunuchs, it was possible that he was the one who complained. Cao Huachun knew what he had accused, and it was impossible for anyone to admit it, and when he heard him vaguely mention it, he guessed in his heart, thinking that he was here to clear himself, and for Cao Huachun, he didn't believe anyone.

Now that the decision has been made and rushed back, it is decided to take revenge and give a good face?

Along the way, his brain teaser was spinning, thinking about what was going to happen next, and soon, he rushed to Emperor Chongzhen's side.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had just finished watching the day's recital, and by the way, he also gave Chen Baoting and them some guidance, and was about to drive to dinner when Cao Huachun arrived. In fact, where Cao Huachun went and what he said along the way, Emperor Chongzhen knew it clearly.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid came back to reply to the order, Liu Shoufu already understood that Lu Shangshu was there, and he would never interfere." As soon as Cao Huachun entered the hall, he knelt on the ground and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, Lu Shangshu is brave and invincible, surrounded by 100,000 Manchu troops at Haoshui Bridge, but he was still broken out, and now he has taken refuge in Jiazhuang." And Director Gao's department has been ordered to rescue, and everything is improving! ”

First of all, we have to reply to the decree, this is the right thing, a little exaggerated, it can be regarded as a good news report to the emperor, so that the emperor is in a happier mood, so that the matter of repetition will be a little safer.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally wouldn't say that he already knew, nodded, showed a smile and said, "Cao Daban is doing well, Lu Shangshu is fine!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Huachun immediately changed his face, with a look of remorse, prostrate on the ground, raised his head, looked at Emperor Chongzhen, and said crying: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid should die, the slave and maid are obsessed with money, and they forgot Your Majesty's entrustment for a while, so that Dongchang lost the responsibility of supervision, and the slave and maid should die, and the slave and maid rushed back overnight, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Everyone is an actor and starts acting!

Seeing this, the smile on Emperor Chongzhen's face disappeared, but his tone was not cold, but he seemed to hate it a little and said, "It's good that you know!" Wang Chengen has told you something? ”

"The slave deserves death, and the slave must hand over all the dirty silver. In the future, if the slave and maid dare to take another penny of dirty silver, they will not die well! Cao Huachun burst into tears and wept bitterly, "The slave and maid have been entrusted by His Majesty, and they regret not being at the beginning, and their sins deserve death, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Hehe, while saying that he would not dare to take dirty silver in the future, and on the other hand, he wanted to punish himself, wouldn't this imply that he would not be guilty of the past, even if he was punished, the power would still be there, and he would not be greedy again.

Emperor Chongzhen thought in his heart, after sneering, a smile appeared on his face, and even stood up from the throne, paced down, and stood in front of Cao Huachun, not disagreeing with his tears and snot, he helped him up and said: "Cao Daban, you are the old man by my side, I have always trusted you very much, I believe you should also know, what do I want now?" Since I have already promised Wang Chengen, I am naturally also a promise to you. Got it? ”

When Cao Huachun heard this, he was so moved that he quickly knelt down again, thanked him repeatedly, and at the same time once again condemned his wealth obsession!

This time, Emperor Chongzhen didn't help him anymore, but looked at him with his head down and said, "I urgently need money now, and I believe that my companion also knows." Otherwise, it's just a little money, and it's okay to reward you. Got it? ”

"The slave and maid must hand over all the dirty silver, and never hide a penny for themselves." Cao Huachun listened, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is kind to the slave maid, the slave and the maid really can't be repaid in a few lifetimes!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to be so fake anymore, so he said to Cao Huachun: "Okay, I know. The past, that's it, I'll see the next performance of Otomo. What do you need to know, what do I need now? ”

"The slave and maid understand that the slave and maid must fulfill their duties and be Your Majesty's minions, and will never bear Your Majesty's trust again!" Cao Huachun immediately swore to the sky, looking responsible.

Emperor Chongzhen listened, nodded, looked up at the sky, and suddenly sighed and said: "I'm very worried, money and food are a problem, and the combat strength of the army is another problem!" In the years when I founded the Ming Dynasty, the army on the Jingshi side was the most elite army in the country! In this way, even if there is a problem with the border army, I will not worry!"

In addition to his words, he was very dissatisfied with the army on the side of Jingshi.
