Chongzhen had already thought that Wang Chengen would say such a thing, he smiled and shook his hand, "No, no, no, just kill one and make an example, if everyone kills, wouldn't there be no one in the court and no generals in the country?" So how can this country be protected? ”

"The minister is ignorant, but the emperor is far-sighted. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wang Chengen replied.

Chongzhen continued, "I have figured it out, the reason why He Renlong is treason is because I give him too much power, and let him be in charge of the general army of bandits, so it is naturally easy to have accidents. ”

"What the emperor said is extremely true." Wang Chengen echoed.

"This is the case outside the border, and the same is true in the court, now I ask my father-in-law and Shoufu to do more things, naturally I also hope that the two Aiqing can weigh the pros and cons and share the worries for me, unless the two of them think otherwise......" Chongzhen didn't finish speaking, Wang Chengen had already knelt down and explained, "Your Majesty Mingjian, my Xichang and Lord Shoufu have always been in the water and do not violate the river." ”

When Chongzhen heard it, although he didn't know whether Wang Chengen's words were true or false, his goal had been achieved. He just wants to tell Wang Chengen, don't use the power of life and death in your hands to collude with each other to deal with me, I can keep an eye on it!

But Chongzhen behaved extremely calmly, and he once again helped Wang Chengen up, "What did my father-in-law say?" Hurry up, please. I just hope that my father-in-law can live up to my hard work. ”

"The minister will never give up!" Wang Chengen was obviously shocked, and even this oath was uttered in a trill.

"By the way, my father-in-law just said West Factory, I don't know if West Factory has gained anything recently? What happened to Jinyiwei's side? As he spoke, Chongzhen observed Wang Chengen's expression with his spare eyes.

Wang Chengen had long expected that Chongzhen would bring the topic to the West Factory and Jinyiwei, but he had a little harvest recently, and he could barely make a difference, of course, this harvest could not mention the suppression of Jinyiwei by the West Factory.

"The descendants are still working hard, and they are quite capable, Dongfang Bai and Yan Shi Niang have just suppressed bandits and several Japanese forces in Jiangnan, needless to say, the emperor knows better than me, but Qinglong may rarely show up recently, and the emperor may be a little rusty, in fact, he has just captured a fleet of Japanese robbers, and it can be said that he has greatly revitalized the prestige of Jinyiwei. As for the ghost fire and the iron mask, they are just busy with the border passes, so I will go back and give them a good training, so that they can learn from the two Zhenfu and the four saints of the capital. Wang Chengen finally told the truth this time, and praised the credit of Zhu Qing of Jinyiwei. Because after Chongzhen's remarks on power just now, Wang Chengen wanted to push Zhu Qing and others to the cusp of power through this way of promoting their strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and he felt that Chongzhen's evaluation of He Renlong just now was out of a kind of worry about being in charge of power and high merit.

However, this time, Wang Chengen's abacus was wrong again, Chongzhen is suspicious and unpredictable by nature, Wang Chengen knows this, but he has never been able to figure it out.

"Very good, it shows that I still have a strong general." Chongzhen nodded in approval, and then pretended to think and said, "In this way, since the ghost fire is busy with the affairs of the border pass, then the Jinyi guard will be handed over to Liu Qingfeng and Qinglong, and you have to assist Lord Shoufu, I am considering transferring the killing wind back to the West Factory, his legs and feet are inconvenient, so don't go to the front line." In this way, you can also devote yourself to worrying about the affairs of the court. What do you think? ”

Chongzhen's words seemed to be said casually, but they undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Wang Chengen. At this time, Wang Chengen was suddenly stunned, he couldn't imagine that he was careful in his calculations, and in the end he was counted by Chongzhen, this time, Chongzhen is clearly going to divide power! Without Xichang and Jinyiwei, it is like breaking Wang Chengen's right-hand man, no matter how hard he turns, he can't turn out of the sky.

"What? What does my father-in-law think is inappropriate? Seeing that Wang Chengen was petrified in an instant, Chongzhen asked.

"Oh, no, no, the minister just thinks that this West Factory has been in charge of eunuchs since Taizu, and I am afraid ......that this will suddenly let the killing wind take over" Wang Chengen wanted to speak and stopped, intending to let Chongzhen say it himself, he even said it cleverly, first moved out of Taizu, hinting that Chongzhen This is the rule left by your ancestors, you can't change it, and then imply that Chongzhen I only need the West Factory, and Jinyiwei can divide it casually. Because in general, Jinyiwei is still subordinate to the West Factory, as long as the West Factory is controlled, Jinyiwei can be controlled.

However, Chongzhen is unhappy, my words have been said to this, and you still want to go around me in turn? If I answer you, not only will I not be able to cut your military power, but I will be bluffed. Who the hell is the emperor?!

So Chongzhen sneered slightly, "Hmph, has my father-in-law forgotten?" Wei Zhongxian is also an official eunuch, but what is the result? The rules of the ancestors cannot be broken, but they should change from time to time, and I don't think my father-in-law wants to suffer from the eunuchs anymore, right? I am not afraid of Chen Qiao's mutiny, but I am afraid of the yellow robe. That's what you've been telling me. "Chongzhen's words are already obvious, you Wang Chengen no longer know how to lift, and you are Wei Zhongxian and others!

At this point, Wang Chengen is already difficult to entangle, he may have thought about having the power of Wei Zhongxian, but obviously he does not have the strength of Wei Zhongxian, and he is not facing Ming Xizong, but Emperor Chongzhen, who can toss more than him.

"Don't dare!" The three words of heartache indicate that Wang Chengen lost in this contest.

Chongzhen can be regarded as temporarily relieving the biggest safety hazard in the DPRK and China -- the Xichang rebellion. He slapped Wang Chengen hard, and now he started to coax again, he took a step and bent down to help Wang Chengen, who was kowtowing to the ground, "Father-in-law, please get up, and the affairs of the court in the future will depend on your father-in-law." ”

Get up quickly, I'll use you in the future, but just to read the decree! In the face of this helplessness, Wang Chengen still had to shout, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" "This is the only way to protect yourself for the time being.

"Father-in-law, after talking for so long, I must be thirsty, come, drink a cup of tea to moisten my throat." Chongzhen said and brought Wang Chengen a cup of tea.

Wang Chengen looked at it, although he couldn't wait to tear up with Chongzhen at this time, but the emperor poured tea for the eunuch, is this worth it? Later, if you fall into the bold sin of a kingless king, it will really be the end of the game. So Wang Chengen hurriedly stepped forward to stop the teacup, "The emperor must not, the ministers are afraid!" ”

"Hey, father-in-law doesn't have to mind, you made such a big sacrifice for Daming, and I should respect you with a cup." Chongzhen said, handing the teacup to Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen looked at it, the matter has come to this, everyone knows it, what else can be pretended? Wang Chengen turned out the teacup and sighed deeply, "At this time, the cup of tea releases the military power!" As he spoke, he drank all the tea in his cup in one go.

Seeing this, Chongzhen smiled slightly, "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, if it is the history of the Great Song Dynasty, the one I want to be the most is Song Taizu!" Chongzhen said, leaving his seat, turning behind the screen, and leaving.

After Chongzhen left, Wang Chengen sat down on the chair, looked at the empty cup in his hand, and muttered in a trance, "People haven't left, and the tea is cold." ”

Chongzhen returned to the palace and did not sleep, he immediately summoned Liu Qingfeng, Zhu Qing and his brother-in-law Tian into the palace to discuss matters.

was summoned into the palace by the emperor in the middle of the night, could it be that Zhu Qing resisted the decree and did not return to Kaifeng and was noticed by the emperor?

Zhu Qing and the other three weighed again and again, and still decided to enter the palace to face the saint, and the Suzaku followed them back to the palace.

What surprised them was that the Jinyi Guards, who were usually stationed around Tianfu, did not have a single figure at this time, and from Tianfu to Chongzhen's study, there were no ambushes they were worried about. What's going on today?

"Your Majesty?" When the four of them came to Chongzhen's study, Lord Tian knocked lightly on the door and called out.

It was the queen who opened the door. Seeing that his elderly sister can still be favored by the emperor, this makes Tian a little relieved.

"Your Majesty......" Lord Tian pointed to the back room and asked the queen softly.

"The emperor is inside, I have something urgent to find you, let's go in quickly." The queen said to Zhu Qing, Liu Qingfeng and Lord Tian, and then turned to Suzaku, you will go with me, there may be some movement tonight, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the harem. The queen's words made Suzaku feel a bit of a heavy responsibility, and she didn't dwell too much on it, so she escorted the queen back to the palace.

Zhu Qing and the other three entered Chongzhen's study, Chongzhen was writing, but judging from the handwriting, Chongzhen's mood was chaotic and he couldn't calm down at all.

"The ministers will meet the emperor." Zhu Qing and the three saluted Chongzhen.

"Shhh, the three Aiqing, please get up quickly, don't make a noise." Chongzhen put down the brush and turned around to help the three of them up.

helped Zhu Qing, but he couldn't afford it. Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, "Qinglong, why is this?" ”

"The minister is guilty."

"What is Aiqing's crime?"

"The minister committed the crime of defrauding the king, at noon today, the emperor ordered the minister to rush to Kaifeng to guard, and the minister went and returned, which is really the crime of defrauding the king." Zhu Qing was very honest, because he knew that the emperor would not be unaware of this matter, and it was better for him to confess his guilt first than to let the emperor surrender. Even if Chongzhen wants to kill or chop, there is no need to say much.

Unexpectedly, Chongzhen smiled slightly, "Aiqing, hurry up, if it were on weekdays, you would indeed be killed for this crime, but the queen told me that you stayed for my safety, how can I condemn you?" Originally, there was something I couldn't have made up my mind just now, but what you just said suddenly brightened my heart. ”

"The emperor summoned his ministers into the palace in the middle of the night, what is the so-called matter?" Seeing Chongzhen's face beaming and exempting Zhu Qing from responsibility, Lord Tian boldly asked.

"Big deal!" Chongzhen said, waving his hand to signal the two guards to exit the study, close the door, and stand guard outside the door.
