This is a bit interesting, a eunuch who opened the door and surrendered, actually wanted to be loyal to the emperor of the previous dynasty.

Wang Zheng's attitude towards Cao Huachun is still lukewarm, after all, it is impossible for him to open the door and surrender to Li Chuang without wind, it is spreading everywhere, although the credibility of the rumors is not high, but it cannot be unbelievable at all.

"Okay, since Gonggong Cao has this heart, then you will preside over the mausoleum of Chongzhen, the former eunuchs Che Yingkui and Wang Dehua, and the eunuchs Wang Zhijun and Lu Weining, the four of you will assist, if there is any difficulty, you must report to this king as soon as possible."

"King Xie Qi Chitose!"

Although Cao Huachun heard Wang Zheng's dissatisfaction with himself in his heart, he was a little helpless, but he still seemed very happy and did not have any explanation.

He just thought that this King of Qi was not an ordinary person, and once the order was given, the implementation should be much simpler.

"Your Majesty, there's only so much a slave can do......"

Thinking of this, Cao Huachun bowed down and retreated, he should have gone to discuss with the four inner palace eunuchs that Wang Zheng said, he had just left the Imperial Palace with his front foot, and the ministers suddenly became very indignant.

A former court official came out of the ranks, bowed down and shouted:

"King Qi can't, before Li Chuang attacked the city, it was Cao Huachun who opened the door to welcome the surrender, if you don't kill this traitor, I am afraid it will be difficult for the people to be angry, and it will be difficult for the capital to be stable!"

It was Yanguan Lin Gui who spoke, and he kowtowed "all the way" as he spoke, and his forehead was a little red and swollen but still non-stopping, and it looked like that was the case at a rough glance.

Hearing this, Wang Zheng's face suddenly fell.

Although he was very disgusted with Cao Huachun's behavior in his heart, Wang Zheng was even more tired of these literati imposing his will on the people of the world at every turn, and was obviously forcing himself to kill Cao Huachun.

If Emperor Chongzhen was sitting on the dragon chair, he might have taken a step back and killed Cao Huachun to appease the non-existent public grievances, but is it Chongzhen sitting on it now?

Suddenly, Wang Zheng laughed:

"Listening to the meaning of Lord Lin's words, is it that if this king does not kill Cao Huachun, the people of the world will rise up to resist, then this king is a little curious, what kind of hatred does Cao Huachun have with you?"

Lin Gui was unmoved and continued to kowtow:

"King Qi, the eunuch party will bring disaster to the country, and everyone will be punished! It's not that the lower officials have any holiday with him, but that the people all over the world don't share the sky with the eunuchs, for the sake of righteousness, for the sake of ......"

"Fart!" Wang Zhengqi stood up from the dragon chair, pointed at Lin Gui, and laughed angrily:

"The people of the world, the people of the world are a bullshit eunuch, they only care about whether they can eat enough, and whether they can order warm clothes on the boat."

Wang Zheng sneered and continued:

"Lin Gui, you just want this king to kill you, so that you can leave a name for the eternity in the name of Zhengchen, and the abacus is loud!"

The experience of later generations told Wang Zheng that none of these literati of the Donglin Party could be trusted, and they insisted that Cao Huachun would open the door and dedicate the city, wanting to let themselves kill him, pretending to be righteous and bingran.

In this way, Wang Zheng, who originally thought that Cao Huachun opened the door, felt a little strange, what thoughts did these Donglin parties have in mind for Cao Huachun to press Cao Huachun step by step?

Wang Zheng put on a calm look, and said to the right:

"Li Yan, go to find out where Cao Huachun is on the day Li Chuang broke the city, and transfer the file about Cao Huachun to Dongnuan Pavilion, and this king wants to see it." As he spoke, Wang Zheng turned around, looked at Lin Gui, and said gloomily:

"Lin Gui, if there is any fraud in Fang Cai's words, this king will destroy your clan."

The ministers who were originally full of righteous indignation suddenly fell silent, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to echo it anymore, and some people are even curling back in small steps, all of which are in Wang Zheng's eyes.

After Lin Gui heard this, Fang Cai's face turned red and excited, and he was speechless for a while, and Wang Zheng, who saw this scene, felt even more suspicious.

......

Out of the Imperial Palace, those ministers were all worried, no one expected that this King of Qi's attitude would be so tough, and he actually made a thorough investigation for the sake of a eunuch.

"You have to make trouble, what can you do now?"

"This is a great crime to exterminate the race."

"Lord Lin... You'd better plan ahead..."

Wang Zheng released the cruel words of exterminating the clan in the palace, which made Lin Gui break out in a cold sweat, and his only thought now was to quickly mobilize his protégés and use all means to confirm the matter of Cao Huachun opening the door.

But to keep a back hand, this King of Qi is not an idle person, there is nothing that can not be done when he says it, once the matter is revealed, the extermination of the clan will not be able to escape, so he must move his family out of Beijing.

But where can he go, Li Chuang sees that if he can't do it, he naturally can't go all the way to a poor place like Shaanxi and a gang of peasants.

Jiangnan, Shandong, Henan, and Huguang have all been occupied by the Qi army, and Yungui heard that a vigorous crusade against Tusi was being carried out again, and even Mu Wangfu was called a minister, and it was even more difficult to go.

Lin Gui, who walked to the bottom step of the road, almost fell down because he was engrossed in his thoughts.

The next moment, a crazy thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

"It's really not good, I can also settle on the side of the Manchu Dynasty, I heard that the regent Dolgon is very polite to the literati, and even Hong Chengchou has defected to the past, so he must have nothing to do."

With this in mind, Lin Gui immediately returned to his house to start arranging.

This is not a formal court meeting, mainly because the Qi army gave a signal to the original officials and gentry of Beizhili, that is, Wang Zheng doesn't care whether you surrender to Dashun or not, as long as you can set things right in time, you will still open the net.

However, there was still one thing that caused a sensation, Wang Zheng, the king of Qi, decided to spend gold and silver to renovate the mausoleum of Emperor Chongzhen, and used the eunuch of the original celebrant to hold the seal, and Cao Huachun, who was the commander of the Beijing camp, was in charge.

A few days after the news came out, the scholars of the Donglin Party began to write one after another, and even some scholars in Beijing spread the word everywhere.

Nowadays, the king of Qi is covering up Cao Huachun, the eunuch who opened the door, and the Donglin scholars are asking Wang Zheng to kill Cao Huachun to calm the people's anger.

On the second night, Wang Zheng sat in the Winter Warm Pavilion where Chongzhen had corrected the folds, looking at the piles of folds on the imperial case, and he completely understood Chongzhen's mood.

These excerpts naturally have one purpose, that is, to put Cao Huachun to death.

Gu Junen stood on the right side, with a sneer on his face:

"Lord Wang, as expected, the Donglin scholars in the city have begun to walk around the rumors, the Donglin Party is so eager, there must be something greasy in this."

"Although the people are already re-registering and their impression of us has changed, there are still a lot of people who don't know anything and need to deal with it as soon as possible."

Wang Zheng snorted coldly, and hit the royal case with a "bang":

"It's really a bunch of rats, it seems that this king should clean up the portal for Chongzhen."

"Pass on the king's decree, from now on, the capital will be under martial law, let Deng Heizi be in charge of the west city, Gao Liang be in charge of the east city, and catch the person who spreads the rumors, no matter what his identity is, he will not be left!"

"Also, during the martial law period, those who went to the streets at night were arrested and interrogated in the prison of the Five Cities Terracotta Division."

Gu Junen nodded, walked out of the Winter Warm Pavilion to pass the order, Li Yan had been standing quietly on the left side during this period, and after Gu Junen's footsteps were far away, this was a few steps forward, and said in his ear:

"Lord Wang, there is news from the Espionage Division, and sure enough, it was planted by the Donglin Party, and this Cao Huachun is taking the blame for others."
