Chongzhen doesn't have any good ways to avoid hanging on the old crooked belly tree in the coal mountain, but judging from the novels read by later generations, these righteous gentlemen are unreliable - even if the mountains and rivers are upside down and the sow goes up the tree, these "righteous gentlemen" are probably unreliable.

However, for Emperor Chongzhen, who had just ascended the throne, the environment from the Seven Ox of the Apocalypse to the first year of Chongzhen, whether from a political or military point of view, was dozens or hundreds of times better than the environment after three years of Chongzhen. At this time, Wei Zhongxian has not been killed, and the factory guard still has the deterrent power and ability it deserves. In a way, Wei Zhongxian, as the emperor's domestic slave, is more reliable than those "righteous gentlemen". At that time, when the army entered Beijing, most of the people who died in the battle were eunuchs - as for the civil and military ministers and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, they had already "eaten pot pulp to welcome the king's master" - although these people were finally forced to hand over the silver by King Chuang with a knife, which can be regarded as a bad breath to Emperor Chongzhen!

"Wang Chengen, Zhao Jinyi, Wei Tian Ergeng, and Wei Zhongxian came to see me." Wang Chengen, when Emperor Chongzhen hanged the coal mountain, the only eunuch who accompanied him, the other Oriental sect leader Fang Zhenghua, etc., had already died in battle.

When Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng came to see Chongzhen, Chongzhen was holding a copy of the Three Kingdoms in his hand, turning a page from time to time.

"Old slave Wei Zhongxian, Chentian Ergeng, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Chongzhen behind Yu'an was expressionless, and he didn't call the two of them flat, just kept looking at the Three Kingdoms. Wei Zhongxian and Tian Legeng, who were kneeling below, speculated in their hearts what Emperor Chongzhen's intention was to summon the two of them late at night, but they were not sure which one it was, they were worried that there were five hundred sword and axe men in ambush behind the tent, but they faintly felt that there should be other problems in their hearts. As time went by, the two of them were thinking more and more, and they couldn't figure out what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking.

Just when fine sweat was already breaking out on the foreheads of the two, Chongzhen behind the imperial case also spoke, "Wei Daban, tell me, who is this Ming Dynasty?" Who did it? Or are you nine thousand years old? Or is it the Donglin Party? Or is it the people of the world? ”

Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling on the ground, had his mind racing, but he couldn't guess what Chongzhen meant by saying this, it seemed that he didn't have to die? Is the emperor dissatisfied with the Donglin Party?

Before Wei Zhongxian could speak, Chongzhen continued: "You can get up." Dig up, and get up. ”

After the two of them thanked each other, Chongzhen's words scared Wei Zhongxian to kneel down again: "I read the Three Kingdoms and found one thing very interesting. Obviously, it only takes a few small officials to take down the ten permanent servants, why does the general still recruit soldiers and horses from all over the world to enter Beijing? While speaking, Chongzhen looked at Tian Ergeng with a playful face and said: "This brocade guard, is it my Son of Heaven army, or the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian's Son of Heaven army?" ”

Wei Zhongxian was scared half to death, thinking that the Son of Heaven was asking Tian Ergeng and Jinyiwei to attack him, so he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The old slave is guilty, and the old slave will die!" ”

Tian Ergeng couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted to do, did he want to win the nine thousand years old himself? Dead Dao friends don't die poor Dao, you die Wei Zhongxian, it's good that labor and management can survive, as long as the emperor doesn't kill himself, even if he lets himself take Wei Zhongxian immediately, then he has to let Wei Zhongxian die first!

With this thought, Tian Ergeng also hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, this brocade guard is naturally the emperor's pro-army of the Son of Heaven!" The ministers are naturally loyal to the emperor. ”

Chongzhen still said "hmm" with an expressionless face, and said to the two: "Get up." ”

For Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng, figuring out Shangyi has almost become instinctive, but Chongzhen's face has been expressionless, making it impossible to guess what he is thinking. Chongzhen took in the reactions of the two, and he was also secretly happy in his heart: who can't act, Mr. Chen Daoming's Kang Mazi really has momentum, let me learn Mr. Chen Daoming's momentum, I can't learn it, I have to learn those little fresh meat in the future generations - the acting skills are not enough, and the face is paralyzed!

Chongzhen saw that the beating was almost done, so he spoke again, but said to Wei Zhongxian: "Zhongxian, Zhongxian, this name is good." However, I hope you are truly loyal. Without waiting for Wei Zhongxian to speak, Chongzhen's next words made Wei Zhongxian's heart tighten: "Zhongxian, tell me, there are many guards in this Ming Dynasty, why are they more and more erosive?" So that those Tunguska boar skins were deceived so far? The Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, why is this treasury getting poorer and poorer? Do you need to pay for subsidies from time to time? ”

Wei Zhongxian's heart was the same as Spiegel: The emperor is embarrassed to ask? Your brother has always known to be a carpenter, and if it weren't for the support of labor and management, this Ming would have collapsed long ago. In a blink of an eye, he started again: What is this little emperor thinking? It is impossible to ask such a question without purpose, is the emperor also dissatisfied with the Donglin Party? Thinking about it again, anyway, labor and management don't have a good impression here in Chongzhen, and it is estimated that it is impossible to escape death, so he simply lifted the table and dropped it, and the grandchildren of the Donglin Party went into the water to accompany the funeral: "If you go back to the emperor, although the Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, but this tax is only collected from farmers, and how many eldest sons can the mud-legged people have?" The real rich are those wealthy businessmen, but they are inextricably linked with the Donglin Party, but the commercial tax cannot be collected. As for those barbarians in Liaodong, Liaodong is miserable, but there are many wealthy businessmen who ignore the country, and for the sake of profit, they dare to sell weapons, grain and grass to that side, and even the intelligence of the border army, and they dare to sell it, and this will go ......on for a long time."

Wei Zhongxian didn't say the rest of the words, it may not be useful to say it all thoroughly, say half and leave half, let the emperor think about it slowly, don't be afraid that he thinks, I'm afraid he doesn't want to. As long as you can think about it, even if I, Wei Zhongxian, can't escape death, you Donglin Party will have to go down to accompany labor and management sooner or later!

No matter what Wei Zhongxian thought in his heart, Chongzhen brought up what he just said again: "Then tell me, whose world is it?" ”

Wei Zhongxian couldn't avoid it, and said to Chongzhen helplessly: "Back to the emperor's words, in this world, he is the emperor's, the emperor is wise and martial, the candle shines thousands of miles, and he is ordered by the sky, so he is naturally the lord of the world." ”

After Chongzhen listened, he squeezed out two words without smiling: "Hehe". If there are future generations present, they will definitely hear countless meanings from these two words - like the air that put your mother, like Ace B, like I bought a watch last year, anyway, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

But to Wei Zhongxian's ears, these two words full of malice are like listening to heaven - look at this meaning, the emperor is dissatisfied with the Donglin Party! And it's not tempting me! Labor and management really don't have to die this time! This time it's the turn of those bastards of the Donglin Party to die!

Looking at Wei Zhongxian, whose old face was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum, Chongzhen turned the conversation to Tian Ergeng again: "Tian Ergeng, I want Jinyiwei to have the prestige and ability of the Yongle period, can you do it?" Rest assured, I will not unload the mill and kill the donkey, as long as you don't carry me on your back, I will ensure that you will not die. If you can't, I can find someone to do it for you. How is it? ”

Tian Ergeng was both surprised and happy when he heard this, and he was surprised that he was afraid that the emperor would really find someone to do it for him, because it meant that he was not far from death, and he was happy that he could not only live, but also in front of people, he was still the commander of the majestic brocade guards. Thinking of this, Tian Ergeng knelt down in a panic and said: "The minister will serve the death force for long live, and he will not give up!" ”

Chongzhen just said to Tian Ergeng: "I will ask you to do an errand today." If you do it well, you are still the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and if you do it badly, you will cut yourself. The dynasty does not raise waste. Do you understand? ”

Tian Ergeng complained bitterly, knowing that Chongzhen didn't know how big a pot he would throw on his back, but he didn't dare to say anything, just bowed his head and said, "Please show the emperor." The minister will do his best and never give up! ”

Tian Ergeng ran on the ground and waited for Chongzhen's orders, only to hear Chongzhen's "hmm", and said: "Thirty days, I will only give you one month, I want to know the cabinet princes, as well as the six Shangshu and the squire each worth of their respective family property." No matter what method or means you use, it just so happens that the majesty of the nine thousand years old is still there, so let me understand this matter. Otherwise, you're useless. Turning around, Chongzhen said to Wei Zhongxian: "And you, take out the prestige of your factory father, I don't want to listen to the noise of those nerds in the Donglin Party!" ”
