Henan suddenly carried out a great purge, and the news reached Jingshi, Chongzhen was immediately furious again, but this time he maintained restraint.

"Why did it come to light so quickly, but can you find out who found out first?" Chongzhen tightened a black face and asked Wu Chengen coldly.

"Back to the emperor, it was found that the incident started in Dengzhou, and it was caused by a prefect named He Dafu. Later, Mao Wenlong carried out such a large-scale investigation. Wu Chengen lowered his head and replied.

Chongzhen was silent for a long time, he seemed to be thinking about something, and after a long while, he said again: "Where is the high potential?" ”

Wu Chengen realized something, and he frowned slightly and replied: "Waiting in the Wenhua Palace." ”

"Let's go!"

When Chongzhen arrived outside the Wenhua Palace, Gao Qiqian was already waiting outside the door, and when he saw the arrival of the imperial chariot, he immediately knelt down beside the white jade road and shouted: "The slave and maid Gao Qiqian greet the holy driver." ”

Chongzhen just glanced at him lightly, and then went straight into the Wenhua Hall without a sound. Gao Qiqian obediently followed him into the Wenhua Palace, and Wu Chengen did not go in with him, but led the guards to guard outside.

will be so careful, it is all caused by Bai Adou's previous assassination, although nearly a year has passed, but Chongzhen is still cautious, and he does not dare to slack off for a moment.

In the Wenhua Palace, Chongzhen sat on a chair covered with yellow cushions. He knelt down again in front of the potential Chongzhen, and performed the etiquette of bowing and buttoning his head.

Generally, the eunuchs who accompany the emperor in the inner palace do not need to be so polite, and they are usually very casual like Wu Chengen. And Gao Qiqian is not a eunuch who accompanies Chongzhen, so these red tapes must be behaved.

Chongzhen just snorted lightly, and after signaling Gao Qi to dive up, he said: "How many people are still hiding in Henan that have not been dug up?" ”

When Gao Qiqian heard this, he immediately knelt down again, and replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, there is no one in ten, and now things are still fermenting, it is estimated that the whole army will be wiped out in the end." The only ones who have not been affected are the dozen or so people lurking in Ye County, and since they have not been used, they have not been affected by Mao Wenlong's investigation this time. ”

Planting spies in Henan, Chongzhen has never spared no effort, especially after learning about Henan's grain, he is even more concerned. Therefore, he also specially sent the most trusted Gao Qiqian to supervise this matter.

Originally, everything was going well, and some grain was also transported to Shanxi one after another. This time, he was suddenly intervened by Li Zicheng, which almost broke the big thing.

Although he spent it safely in the end, he didn't expect to be spoiled by a small prefect in Dengzhou City.

"What happened to Li Zicheng and those people now? Has Shanxi stabilized? After a moment of silence, Chongzhen asked two questions in a row.

"Back to the emperor, after Li Zicheng's army crossed the Yellow River, it was absorbed by the Dongjiang army, which had already been ambushed. As for Li Zicheng, his life and death are unknown, and Mao Wenlong did not catch him, and it is said that he was assassinated by assassins before crossing the river. ”

Gao Qiqian paused, quietly glanced up at Chongzhen, and saw that he showed no signs of anger, so he continued to answer the second question: "As for the situation in Shanxi, it has now completely calmed down, Li Zicheng's thieves are dead, and those who fled have been wiped out by our army." ”

After hearing this not bad news, Chongzhen couldn't calm down, he suddenly got up and walked back and forth in the warm pavilion, and after a while, he said fiercely: "Immediately order someone to go to Dengzhou City and kill He Dafu who broke things." ”

Gao Qiqian seemed to have expected Chongzhen to make this decision early on, and he immediately replied: "The emperor can rest assured, the slave maid has already sent someone to assassinate him immediately after the incident, and I believe that there will be news in the next two days." ”

Chongzhen seemed very satisfied, walked back to the dragon chair and sat down, then raised his hand and said, "Get up." ”

Gao Qiqian's heart is getting wider and wider, obviously, Chongzhen will no longer blame him for anything, there is nothing to worry about.

Gao Qiqian hurriedly buckled his head again to thank him, and after getting up, he walked to Chongzhen's side, illuminated by the bright palace lamp, it can be seen that Gao Qiqian is a burly, white-faced middle-aged man.

Although he was in his forties, he looked like he was in his early thirties because of his well-maintained and ruddy complexion. Compared with Chongzhen's pale, tired, and melancholy countenance, it is completely two situations.

Chongzhen fell into contemplation again, he seemed to have something hesitant in his heart, and he was in a trance from the beginning. Gao Qiqian waited patiently, he didn't dare to ask, and at the same time, he also knew in his heart that this time the matter might be very important.

Sure enough, after some hesitation, Chongzhen suddenly said with a hideous face: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used in one day, Mao Wenlong is not in oil and salt now, I promised him a prince of the opposite sex to him, but he directly refused." Now it's broken like this for nearly a year, it's really damn bad. ”

Gao Qiqian's heart trembled slightly, he seemed to understand what Chongzhen was going to do at this moment? Just when he was surprised, he heard Chongzhen continue: "I want to teach Mao Wenlong a hard lesson, and obey orders. ”

Gao Qiqian immediately knelt down, and Chongzhen said directly: "I ordered you to go to Shanxi immediately and send a secret order to the people lurking in Ye County, asking them to wait for an opportunity to kidnap Mao Wenlong's family." Especially what is the name of the wife next to him? ”

"The emperor, his name is Chen Lan, and that is the person who has been following Mao Wenlong. It is said that he escaped from Dongjiang Town with Mao Wenlong, and he didn't forget to take her with him when he fled, and it seems that he really attaches great importance to her. "High dive is a dogleg addition.

Chongzhen nodded and said: "It's this person, you do it immediately, remember, this thing can only succeed and not fail." If there is the slightest mistake, I will only do it with you, and I will not spare it! ”

Gao Qi secretly said bitterly in his heart, but he didn't dare to hesitate on the surface, hurriedly buckled his head, and swore to complete the task.

After Chongzhen heard this, he waved his hand to let him retreat, and Gao Qiqian was another buckle, and then he retreated and withdrew from the Wenhua Palace.

Wanting to snatch Mao Wenlong's wife from Ye County, and escorting him to Beijing smoothly and safely, this is tantamount to pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth. The more Gao Qiqian thought about it, the more he felt that this thing was difficult to do, and he had to plan carefully before he could act.

Fortunately, Mao Wenlong didn't have any discoveries in the people hidden in Ye County, so if he wanted to rob people, he had a good chance of success. The only difficulty is how to escort people from Yexian to Jingshi, which is a really tricky problem?
