Chapter 2 The news came, and Houjin struck
There was a rush of sounds. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A middle-aged eunuch ran in in a hurry.
"Shhh
Facing Wang Chengen, who was sweating profusely, Cao Huachun was silent.
"But Lord Cao, this is."
Wang Chengen wanted to speak and stopped, after all, this is an urgent report at the border gate, as a celebrant eunuch, this is his duty, and in his opinion, since His Majesty ascended the throne, all matters have been personally asked, not to mention that now this is an urgent document at the border gate.
If His Majesty asks about this matter in the future, if he blames the crime of negligence, he can't afford to be guilty, after all, not long ago the purge of Wei Zhongxian's party, Wang Chengen is very clear, although he doesn't like what Wei Zhongxian did, but he is a eunuch after all, and his Majesty's temper is also very clear today, suspicious, suspicious, cruel and ruthless, in Wang Chengen's heart, his own master is such a person, so Wang Chengen's concerns are also taken for granted.
As an old eunuch who has served several dynasties, Cao Huachun naturally understands Wang Chengen's distress, but now that the emperor has just woken up, what can he do?
- "Heaven does not die! ”
said that seeing this scene, Zhu Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the embarrassing situation just now was naturally resolved.
"Ahem!"
Zhu Jian coughed deliberately.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Hearing this, Cao Huachun was so panicked that he glared at Wang Chengen on the side. And this stare made Wang Chengen, who was already a little flustered, even more pale, and a cold sweat unconsciously appeared.
"Father-in-law Cao, I'm fine."
Zhu Jian waved his hand and said, but after speaking, he turned his eyes to the beautiful woman on the side.
"Huan'er, I see that your eyes are already bloodshot, I'm afraid that you haven't slept well in the past few days, it's really hard for you."
Zhu Jian's eyes were full of guilt.
"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty fell into a coma, Niangniang has taken care of Your Majesty every day, and finally with the blessing of the emperor, Your Majesty has finally woken up."
Cao Huachun on the side said.
"Huan'er, if it's really as Grandpa Cao said, but I'm uneasy, you better go down to rest, if you make something wrong because of this, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Zhu Jian stroked Zhou Huan'er's weak and boneless little hand, but there were ripples in his heart again, and a heat wave hit again.
And Zhou Huan'er's face on the side was also getting more and more crimson, which can be said to be very pitiful, not to mention human, and when he was held by Zhu Jian's little hand again, in addition to being moved, Zhou Huan'er was more of that irrepressible shame.
"Your Majesty, the concubine will go down first."
"Kou'er, I'll look for you later."
Seeing Zhou Huan'er's appearance, Zhu Jian was a ghost.
Hearing this, Zhou Huan'er almost fled away, and her face became more and more flushed.
"Hey, goblins!"
Seeing Zhou Huan'er leaving, Zhu Jian touched his nose and said secretly in his heart.
sent Zhou Huan'er away, but Zhu Jian turned his head to the side again.
"Grandpa Cao, I remember that I was in the imperial study before, but I don't know why I was lying on this bed, and I just heard that I have been asleep for three days."
Although Chongzhen's memories were fused, the memory of the cause of the coma seemed to be blank, so Zhu Jian asked like this, and he felt that a dark cloud seemed to be coming towards him, so he had to figure out the cause and effect of this matter.
Cao Huachun was a little puzzled about his master waking up and asking like this, but after all, the emperor in front of him was the emperor, and he was just an old eunuch.
"Your Majesty, three days ago, you suddenly received an emergency report from the border gate, and then there was a muffled snort, that is, you were unconscious-"
Cao Huachun's words, but Zhu Jian really listened to them, and at this moment, Zhu Jian seemed to understand something in his heart.
It turned out that the familiar memory in my mind before was that the Later Jin united with the Mongolian countries of Korqin, Khalkha, Zalut, Aohan, and Naiman, and joined forces at the same time, and hundreds of thousands of troops avoided Yuan Chonghuan's defense area, detoured through Mongolia, and marched out of Xifengkou to approach the Beijing division.
And it was precisely because of this sudden arrival that Emperor Chongzhen was devastated, convulsed and fell into a coma, and even more because of overwork, which led to sudden death, which led to the arrival of Zhu Jian.
"It turned out that the Houjin soldiers came to the city, damn it, Lao Tzu couldn't live in peace when he first came, it seems that the emperor's position is really not good. After the Golden Tiger and Wolf Division approached the Beijing Division, it seems that the so-called Battle for the Defense of Beijing is about to start, hey, by the way, Yuan Chonghuan seems to have been imprisoned this year. ”
Zhu Jian secretly speculated.
However, he Zhu Jian would never do that kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall, even if Yuan Chonghuan commanded this battle, he missed the fighter, but after all, he was the leader of the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield in Liaodong.
He wants to keep Yuan Chonghuan!
"Cheng'en, take the urgent paperwork to me."
Zhu Jian smiled and looked at the slightly overwhelmed slave in front of him, this person in history is the only person who accompanied Chongzhen's 'self-hanging southeast branch', even if it comes from later generations, for such a loyal person, Zhu Jian is naturally full of good feelings, even if he is just a eunuch. For this sudden smile, Wang Chengen was obviously a little shocked, but his hands trembled slightly.
The so-called 'companion is like a tiger'.
Wang Chengen listened to his predecessors tell him more than once that no matter how powerful he was as a eunuch, without the support of the emperor, it could only be a castle in his mouth, and he couldn't count it.
And Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch a few years ago, is the best example.
At the time of the previous dynasty, Wei Zhongxian could be said to have hot power, one hand was enough to dominate the sky, and he was surrounded by the likes of 'Five Tigers', 'Five Biao', and 'Ten Dogs', and his minions were all over the government and the opposition.
But so what, it wasn't destroyed by the master's move.
In the eyes of Wang Chengen, His Majesty is now a suspicious and suspicious lord, very cold-blooded, otherwise he would not have calmed down the emasculation so quickly.
Since his accession to the throne, his own emperor has been busy with state affairs all the time, worrying all day long, making people unable to understand and understand, even Lord Cao, who served the Four Dynasties, does not understand, and always looks cold to people, making people a little cautious when approaching.
But just recently, the emperor actually smiled at himself, and that smile Wang Chengen had never seen since he served his master, because in that smiling face, Wang Chengen suddenly saw a kind of relief.
Could it be that his master has changed his temperament?
At this moment, Wang Chengen can't be allowed to think about it, but his master is still waiting for him to send it expedited.
"Your Majesty, please."
took a step forward, but Wang Chengen handed over the urgent paperwork in his hand.
Wang Chengen's move, Zhu Jian saw it in his eyes, but he laughed it off.
Chongzhen in history was already suspicious, suspicious, and even cold-blooded and cruel, and it was expected that the inner servant would have such a reaction with a smile recently, but the slight details still made Zhu Jian a little worried.
He couldn't have imagined that an ordinary smile could cause such a panic from a close servant, so how they would react to those courtiers was unimaginable.
"No wonder Chongzhen once changed more than fifty people!"
Zhu Jian sighed in his heart.
For more than ten years, there are more than 50 people in the same phase, but there is no one available, try to ask Li Biao, Qian Longxi, Liu Hongxun which one is not the talent of Zaifu, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Yuan Chonghuan, etc.
"This person deserves to be ruined!"
Zhu Jian sighed, but since he is now in charge of the Ming Dynasty, then Chongzhen's mistake, in Zhu Jian's own opinion, he must not be willing to repeat the mistakes of the past.
What's more, he is not such a person who is overly suspicious, 'don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people', this is his criterion.
It was like that in the past life, and it is still the same in this life.
After receiving the letter, Zhu Jian was not in a hurry to open it, and when things were not in a hurry, some things were more important than others, that is, to convene the cabinet ministers and dredge them.
Of course, one of the reasons for this is that Zhu Jian understands that the power of one person is not as good as the strategy of others. Even the ancestors have said - three stinkers, race Zhuge Liang, the matter of Houjin is urgent, but Zhu Jian needs someone to give him advice, and the cabinet is naturally the best choice, after all, in Zhu Jian's memory, although those cabinet ministers are not as good as Zhuge Liang, they are not idle people.
This is the second, mainly because Zhu Jian has just arrived, although he has integrated some memories of Chongzhen, but he still needs to be familiar with his face, and if he wants to be familiar with the courtiers, this is naturally the 'Zaifu' of the Ming Dynasty - the ministers of the Ming Cabinet.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jian ordered to go down.
"Father-in-law Cao, you wait to go down first! These days have also been waiting hard, and in addition, I have announced my oracle, announced the cabinet of ministers and the Qing Palace, and Cheng En, you will do this matter personally. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will go."
Wang Chengen agreed, but he retreated, and at this moment, Zhu Jian found that Cao Huachun on the side seemed to be a little hesitant, but it seemed that there was something unspeakable.
"Gonggong Cao, but is he not in good health?"
Zhu Jian is a smart person, so naturally he won't ask so straightforwardly, since Cao Huachun is difficult to speak, it won't be a trivial matter, or a good thing.
"Your Majesty, old slave me."
Looking at the imperial doctors who were still standing aside, Cao Huachun seemed to be a little worried.
"Oh?"
Zhu Jian's face tightened, but he suddenly raised his voice.
As soon as these words came out, I only heard a 'poof'.
Cao Huachun was already on his knees.
"Your Majesty, the old slave should die, the old slave should die!"
"Gonggong Cao, why are you doing this? I'm just talking, my father-in-law is too worried. ”
Regarding Cao Huachun's actions, Zhu Jian immediately said with kind words and relief.
As for Zhu Jian's deliberate increase in tone before, this move had already scared Cao Huachun on the side half to death, after all, it was this master who took out the huge Wei Zhongxian Group in one fell swoop more than a year ago.
It's just that he never dreamed that the person in front of him at this moment was no longer his stubborn, suspicious and suspicious master, but Zhu Jian's actions were not murderous, but sometimes as a leader, prestige is quite important.
This was the case in the previous life, and it is still the same in this life, which is very clear to Zhu Jian.
But today's events couldn't be better.
"I'm fine, it's hard work, let's go down and rest first!"
waved his hand, but Zhu Jian dispersed a group of imperial doctors, these guys stood here, he was also upset, it was not that Zhu Jian rejected these imperial doctors, but these guys' hard work seemed to be far inferior to their own boasting.
"The ministers will retire first."
Hearing Zhu Jian's words, the imperial doctors retreated as if they had been amnestied.
"Father-in-law Cao, that's the case, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Although Zhu Jian's words were plain, there was a kind of non-negotiable beak in his words, and there was no reason for the slightest hesitation, which Cao Huachun knew very clearly.
"Your Majesty, the old slave said, I wonder if Your Majesty has heard of any courtiers' remarks?"
"Oh, Grandpa Cao, you said and I came to hear it."
Zhu Jian was a little annoyed when the old eunuch wanted to welcome and refuse, but when he first came here, he had to slowly adapt to some things, even if he was now the king of a country.
"Your Majesty, old slave."
As soon as Zhu Jian's words came out, Cao Huachun was a little surprised.
"The emperor has many ears and eyes, how can he not know what the courtiers say, could it be said that the emperor intends to test himself, but the trouble of the Wei Party in the previous dynasty has just passed, and the emperor is not as good as the eunuchs in the previous dynasty, not to mention that the current emperor is a suspicious person, if his own family is guilty of slander, how can it be good?"
Thinking of these, Cao Huachun suddenly regretted a little, why did he want to wade into this troubled water, he could have resigned and returned to his hometown in a few years to recuperate, but now it is good, it is an arrow on the string, and he can't help himself.
"No matter what, no matter what, if you think your majesty will not take your own life."
made up his mind, but Cao Huachun spoke.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers are talking about it these days, saying that it is Inspector Yuan that he is suspected of guiding the Houjin soldiers into Beijing."
Although Cao Huachun was trembling when he said it, Zhu Jianna was also terrified when he heard it, if he didn't listen to Cao Huachun about this matter, he would really have never heard of it.
"It seems that this Yuan Chonghuan is really suffering from the enemy, his own family doesn't trust him anymore, no wonder Emperor Chongzhen will self-destruct in Chang'an, dare to love more or less that he can't stand the three of them into a tiger!"
"Who say that?"
"Your Majesty, old slave me."
In the face of Zhu Jian's question again, Cao Huachun couldn't help wiping the beads of sweat oozing from his head, but Cao Huachun's actions Zhu Jian didn't feel funny in his eyes, it was an ordinary question, but it caused the head of the eunuch to tremble so much, Zhu Jian had to sigh that this palace was really as deep as the sea.
But the more this happens, the happier it is for Zhu Jian, and for him as a person, the deeper the water, the more challenging it is.
