It was Chongzhen who came out from behind the screen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info When the emperor arrived, of course everyone had to kneel and shout long live.

Maybe this "long live" really called Chongzhen old, just in the prime of life, but his face was haggard, and his temples were slightly white. It seems that Chongzhen is really tired.

"Your Majesty?" Wang Chengen has followed Chongzhen for many years and is the best at observing words and feelings.

Chongzhen raised his hand and signaled that Wang Chengen didn't need to say much.

"I already know that. For the safety of the two girls, there are really Gonggong Lao and the generals. Chongzhen's words seem to be ordinary, but they are as frightening as the staff of the Jinyi Guard. Because the actions of everyone in the audience have been known by Chongzhen! Now as long as he says a word, the following people will all be asked and beheaded!

"Your Majesty! Weichen is also for the emperor! Wang Chengen has already begun to beg for mercy, and when the ministers such as Ghost Fire saw that Wang Chengen had surrendered, how dare they raise their heads, and they all followed and kowtowed.

Chongzhen was condescending, but he closed his eyes slightly, his teeth were clenched, and he was already angry, he hated, but he didn't break out. He knew the weight of these people in the court, and the reason why they have today's rights is completely caused by their own favor.

"I thought that I wanted to reorganize the Ming Dynasty, which was already a big ambition, but I didn't expect you to be more ambitious than me! It's time to help me take care of the country! Chongzhen's tone was not babbling, but every word was shocking, with a bloodless murderous aura!

"Wechen is guilty! Weichen dared to beg the emperor to spare his ministers and wait for his life, and the ministers would definitely know their way back and share their worries for the emperor. Wang Chengen continued.

"What a worry! I will not pursue it today, and see how you share this eternal worry for me! Retire! Chongzhen knew that Wang Chengen's power was not what it used to be, Wang Chengen gave the steps, and he also got off the donkey, and when he saw it, he accepted it, and he was scared and frightened. Today's Ming Dynasty has displaced people and Tartars in the back, it is chaotic enough, how can Chongzhen not know the overall situation? But he has also personally experienced the power of this eunuch party, how can he repeat the mistakes of the past, this evil spirit must be suppressed.

So when everyone thanked Chongzhen for not killing and retreated, Chongzhen left Wang Chengen behind, "Father-in-law, please stay." ”

When Wang Chengen heard this, he was no longer frightened just now, he knew that Chongzhen was going to tell him those things that were inconvenient to say in public, "What else does the emperor command?" ”

"Come to me." Sure enough, Chongzhen's tone softened a lot, and he didn't have the same anger as just now.

"Wow!" Wang Chengen responded and came to Chongzhen's side in a flutter.

Chongzhen pointed to a chair next to him and motioned for Wang Chengen to sit down.

"Thank you, Emperor! Wechen just stands. Wang Chengen didn't sit down, he knew that he should be more afraid at this time.

Chongzhen nodded and smiled slightly, "Okay, anyway, you usually stand by my side." With that, Chongzhen sat down and picked up the teacup.

Seeing this, Wang Chengen hurriedly stepped forward to help pour tea.

Chongzhen took the teacup and blew it gently, took a sip, and then said casually, "Chengen, how many years have you been with me?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's been eight years." Wang Chengen didn't know what Chongzhen wanted to do, so he replied cautiously.

"That's right, eight years. It's been eight years in a blink of an eye, and I still remember that when the first emperor was in power, you came to me, at that time you just accompanied me to read and talk about history. Chongzhen seemed to remember the past.

Wang Chengen still didn't know what Chongzhen wanted to say, but the emperor mentioned himself, and he seemed to be quite nostalgic for the old feelings, and if he didn't say a word, I was afraid that he couldn't say it, so he echoed, "I want to thank the emperor for not giving up, so that Weichen can settle down." Wang Chengen understands very well that most of the fathers-in-law who came and went in Chongzhen's mouth were killed by himself.

"Ten years of repairing in the same boat, it is not false, you and I have been a monarch and minister for eight years, together we have eliminated Wei Zhongxian and others, and carried the Ming Dynasty through ups and downs together, you always say that history is a mirror, you can know the rise and fall, I remember that you love to talk about the history of the Song Dynasty." Chongzhen continued to remember.

"That's because the emperor likes to listen." Wang Chengen echoed again.

"What do you think I like the most about the history of the Song Dynasty?" Chongzhen smiled at Wang Chengen.

"The minister didn't dare to speculate, but the minister remembered that the emperor asked the minister to say the most in the late Song Dynasty."

Chongzhen nodded, stood up, and paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, "Do you know why I asked you to say that?" ”

"The minister is stupid." Wang Chengen made a fool of Chongzhen, in fact, Wang Chengen was not stupid at all, he knew the reason, but he didn't know how to say it, and he didn't dare to say it.

Chongzhen smiled and shook his head, "You know, it's just that you don't say it." Then he sighed lightly, "Yes, in the late Song Dynasty, it was weak and poor, and it was difficult to return, and it was finally destroyed by foreign captives." I am not satisfied with you saying that the Ming Dynasty is in danger of the Song Dynasty now, and I am worried about whether I will one day bury the Ming Dynasty with my own hands. ”

"The emperor is wise and martial, and he works hard, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely shock the world and prosper forever." Wang Chengen's sentence is the instinctive reaction of a courtier, and he does his best to flatter, even if it is not true, it will not cause death, didn't the ancestor say it, and many people are not to blame. What's more, the emperor who is used to hearing sweet words.

Sure enough, although Chongzhen knew that this was Wang Chengen's whiskers, he still smiled heartily, "I will definitely not give up easily, so I still need the government and the opposition to work together, the town is troubled, the foreign captives are expelled, and my great prestige is restored." ”

Chongzhen said generously, and Wang Chengen also knelt down to worship, "The minister is willing to serve the emperor for the work of dogs and horses!" ”

"Good! Father-in-law, please get up! With your words, you and I have not made friends in vain in the past eight years. In fact, I can also see from what happened to the two girls today, my father-in-law is thinking about a way out for me! Chongzhen helped Wang Chengen up, but brought up the matter of the two girls, which made Wang Chengen both flattered and cautious.

"Emperor Mingjian!" Wang Chengen really didn't know what Chongzhen still had in his heart, but he knew that it was impossible to fool Chongzhen now, so he decided to restrain himself first, so as not to be unmoved and dead. So he pushed the boat along the way, and simply admitted that the reason why they wanted to intercept Chen Yuanyuan and Li Yufeng today was actually to leave a way back for Chongzhen.

Wang Chengen said this, Chongzhen knew it in his heart, and today's incident was really Wang Chengen who took the lead! And regardless of whether Wang Chengen said that preparing for Chongzhen had another purpose, Chongzhen, who was suspicious by nature, didn't want this kind of thing to happen again.

Sure enough, after Chongzhen tried his best to get out Wang Chengen's words, Chongzhen was silent for a long time, he stopped pacing, returned to his seat just now, and picked up the teacup.

Chongzhen didn't speak, which made Wang Chengen's heart cold, and as soon as Chongzhen sat down, he immediately looked forward at the tea.

Chongzhen smiled at the corner of his mouth, "If everyone can think about what I think and what I am anxious about like my father-in-law, why don't you worry about the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"The emperor is right."

"But some people take the imperial grain and don't worry about the emperor, and in turn they are against me!" Chongzhen's tone suddenly aggravated, which made Wang Chengen feel shocked, and the tea almost spilled.

"Hey, father-in-law, look at the point, it's full." Chongzhen reminded Wang Chengendao.

"Oh, careless. The emperor uses it slowly. Wang Chengen said with a smile.

"By the way, father-in-law, have you noticed that there are such people around you?" Chongzhen took advantage of Wang Chengen's bowed head to pour tea and asked softly in his ear.

Wang Chengen felt more and more uncomfortable, and he began to panic in his heart, "Yes, the previous He Renlong deserved to die." In a hurry, Wang Chengen moved out the dead man He Renlong.

"What?" When Chongzhen asked this sentence, Wang Chengen reacted, didn't he tell Chongzhen just now that the traitorous general He Renlong was his own person? This was a big drunkenness of the head, so he immediately changed his words, "What the minister said is that there have been such people in our government and the opposition. ”

"Then what did my father-in-law say? If there were a few more such people in the government and the opposition, the Ming Dynasty would collapse from the inside without the invasion of foreign enemies. Chongzhen asked.

"The minister thinks that he should be severely punished, one person will commit treason, and the whole army will be beheaded, and the nine clans will be connected!" Wang Chengen said that this sentence is a bit of a gamble, if Chongzhen finds some abnormalities in himself, it will be difficult to preserve, there is no need to hide it, if Chongzhen does not want to pursue it, saying this will prove that he is not a thief! is to put it to death and live again: I said so myself, can I still betray you?! See for yourself!
