54 A new official takes office

His answer was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, hitting the heads of several brocade guards in the apse, especially Wu Zhong, the chief banner, whose face turned pale all of a sudden.

However, Emperor Chongzhen had known about Luo Yangxing's answer for a long time, so he deliberately asked this question, and after listening to it at this time, he confirmed: "Is it just the two of them?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the stakes are very high, and the last general will not dare to let more people know." Luo Yangxing replied casually, "Therefore, except for the last general, it's just the two of them!" ”

"I see!" Emperor Chongzhen listened, nodded and said, "But I think that to investigate who is captured or the Manchu Tartars are in the Guan, we can't just hope outside the Guan. How to investigate and deal with it in the customs, Luo Qing immediately went to discuss with Cao Daban of Dongchang, and he couldn't delay! ”

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he didn't think much about it, so he immediately said goodbye, didn't go back to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and rushed to the East Factory.

As soon as he left, Emperor Chongzhen nodded to Chen Baoting, the chamberlain, and motioned for him to bring a few people from the apse.

"The last general will knock on Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" Li Ruolian and the others followed into the front hall after a while and saluted the emperor together.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and flattened them, and then asked kindly, "Did you all hear that?" ”

At this time, Li Ruolian already understood what the emperor meant by letting them stay in the apse. Therefore, when he heard this, he immediately knelt down again, and replied excitedly: "The saint is none other than Your Majesty, and the last general has heard it all!" ”

Wu Zhong and the others also knelt down together, unsettled. not only hated Luo Yangxing for taking all the credit, but also secretly shocked the emperor's well-informed information, and he was able to gain insight into this matter.

And Emperor Chongzhen on the throne looked at them, but he was confident, and this time he didn't let them flat, but just said to them: "What Jinyiwei has done over the years, I have not been satisfied for a long time!" Among today's Jinyi Guards, you are still loyal to me, and you are also a person who can do things. Therefore, I have something to ask! ”

"Your Majesty, please make it clear!" Li Ruolian, who was the leader, hurriedly replied respectfully.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him, his voice suddenly raised a little, and his tone became a little more excited: "If I ask you to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, what kind of Jinyi Guard can you give me?" “

As soon as he finished saying this, Li Ruolian was taken aback, and then he was overjoyed. The excitement of the mood, even if he is already a stable person, is also difficult for himself, knowing that he has entered the eyes of the emperor and got a golden opportunity, he immediately echoed loudly: "If the last general can lead the Jinyi Guard, let the Jinyi Guard be His Majesty's eyes and ears, minions, and everything will be the first of His Majesty." If you have selfish intentions, you will not die well in the future! ”

"How?" Emperor Chongzhen was noncommittal when he heard this, but continued to ask.

Li Ruolian did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "The last general should promote those who can be used, eliminate the corrupt and perverted the law, sweep away the filth in the current Jinyi Guard, and restore the original appearance of the Jinyi Guard's North and South Towns." ”

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at Emperor Chongzhen, and after a little hesitation, he continued: "The last general has been in Jinyiwei for many years, and he knows a lot about various things. The conflict of interests is incompatible, and when you can help the last general, you can quickly control the Jinyi Guard, and it will really be used by Your Majesty! ”

Li Ruolian also let it go, because what he meant by saying these words was that he knew that the current Jinyiwei was rotten. But in this way, why didn't he report to Emperor Chongzhen before? This is not reported, in fact, it is also his guilt. If the emperor cares, this is a stain.

However, he actually thought clearly, whether it was from the emperor's words, or the emperor's previous hidden things behind the palace, it all showed that the emperor's determination to revive the Jinyiwei had been made, and if he didn't seize the opportunity to clean up the Jinyiwei at this time, he would be retaliated against by those people in the end, and he didn't know what it would look like in the end. Instead of that, it's better to serve them in one pot!

Emperor Chongzhen listened very satisfied, this Li Ruolian is methodical in his words and actions, and he is also a decisive person, which is indeed worth using. Therefore, he nodded, smiled and said, "Let's wait for a flat body!" ”

Hearing this, Li Ruolian and the others knew that the matter was done, this was a great joy, and they couldn't hold back their excitement one by one, and when they stood up after thanking them, they still felt a little unreal.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Li Ruolian and said, "I believe that you have this ability, and now inside and outside the court, it has reached the time when it must be rectified." Time is of the essence, and I have so much to do. Qing is the commander of Jinyiwei from now on, and the personnel transfer of the new Jinyiwei is all up to Qing. Except for the matter of Wu Zhong of the hundred households of Jinyiwei that cannot be delayed, all other Jinyiwei matters were suspended, and You Qing immediately went back to rectify Jinyiwei for me. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "As for Luo Yangxing, he won't go back to the East Factory." ”

Jinyiwei is the emperor's pro-army, just like the slaves and maids in the palace, all obey the emperor's orders, and the outer court can't control it, and there is no need to explain to the outer court, so there is no need to be as troublesome as changing the head and auxiliary ministers. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen's words can make Jinyiwei replaced. It's just that in the past, I didn't know what to change, but now I have found a candidate.

Hearing this, Li Ruolian was very excited and immediately said goodbye and left.

And Wu Zhong, who was crowned by Emperor Chrysostom as a hundred households, was left by Emperor Chongzhen.

I heard Emperor Chongzhen say to Wu Zhong: "I remember this time to deceive the Manchu Qing Dynasty and go to Liaodong to carry out such a dangerous mission. Remember, you must live, and when I revive the dynasty and reform the army, I will definitely take the imperial conquest in person, recover Liaodong, and bring you back! ”

When Wu Zhong heard that the emperor was worried about his own safety and told him that he must live, he couldn't help but be very moved, and immediately replied in a respectful voice: "The last general is waiting for that day, and he must see His Majesty set foot in Liaodong with his own eyes!" ”

If he had changed this before, he would never have believed that the emperor would personally conquer Liaodong! However, at this moment, he saw the emperor's means and courage to rectify the Jinyi Guard, so he believed it a little and felt that there was still hope.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and said the main reason for leaving him: "This mission, remember one thing, all the news must be finally summarized to you, but there is no need to pass it back to the customs, that is to say, you just collect the news, and when no one is around, you can quietly whisper it once, and I will use other means to get the news, understand?" Remember, this matter must not be brought up to anyone! ”

Wu Zhong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, how to transmit the news back to the customs safely and timely is the most difficult level, but the emperor now says no, doesn't it mean that the difficulty of the task has been reduced a lot, which is a great thing! However, he couldn't figure out what means the emperor could use to get the news as long as he whispered it? Could it be that the emperor would arrange for others to lurk around him?

It feels like it's a bit incredible! He couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it either, and immediately agreed.
