It wasn't until the time when he was busy holding the lamp that Fan Wencheng stretched his waist, walked out of the secret room, looked up at the waning moon in the night sky, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "In this Jingshi, money can make ghosts grind." Thanks to this, the identities of the three of them are very helpful for this operation. ”

A cronie and slave who followed him asked a little worriedly, "Master, will they have different intentions?" ”

When Fan Wencheng heard this, he turned his head to look at him and smiled a little contemptuously. Then he looked up at the night sky again, and said in a very confident tone: "The Zhu Ming Dynasty is dull and corrupt, and it should have died a long time ago. Several of them are people with eyesight, and they naturally know that the rise of the Qing Dynasty is not something that Zhu Ming can stop. And the master has clear rewards and punishments, and he is a wise lord. Today's dragon work, there are a few people in the world who can refuse it! ”

The cronies and slaves on the side were all said that their eyes were shining, from the dragon's work, the founding hero, this can be passed on to future generations. Accompanying his master to adventure in Beijing, the credit will definitely not be small.

He was thinking about it, when suddenly Fan Wencheng turned his head to look at him, and ordered in a somewhat serious whisper: "Early tomorrow morning, you will go to the gate with my secret letter, and the master will know the situation of the Beijing master at a glance." ”

"Wow!"

At the same time, in the Forbidden City, in a remote palace, there were several eunuchs scattered at the door, scanning the surrounding situation like thieves.

In the hall behind them, although there were no lights, there seemed to be a shrill human voice.

The moonlight shines through the window, and two people can be seen plotting with their heads together. From their voices, you can tell that they are all people who are not below.

"Over the years, those of us who have no roots have lived tremblingly. In the past, I was just serving His Majesty, but now I ......" Cao Huachun said this, staring at the person in front of him with the help of the moonlight, and then continued, "No matter who you meet, you must accompany the smiling face." A sesame big official can kick his nose in the face of us. Alas......"

Hearing the sigh, the man in front of him couldn't help but say, "Who said it wasn't!" But you're okay, the celebrant is in charge of the eunuch, those people will still take care of it somewhat. It's like our admiral of the East Factory, who is really a rat crossing the street now, and I'm afraid of meeting people! ”

When Wang Dehua, the commander of Dongchang, said these words, he couldn't help but think of the glorious days of Dongchang in the past. Compared with the current situation, I can only sigh secretly in my heart.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, as if both of them were caught in a memory. After a while, Cao Huachun suddenly whispered: "Actually, there may be an opportunity right now that you, the commander of the East Factory, will not live such a life again......

"What?" Wang Dehua was taken aback and interrupted Cao Huachun's words, "If there is really such an opportunity, please ask Cao Gong to teach our family ......."

As soon as he said this, Wang Dehua suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Our family recognizes you as our father, please teach your son!" ”

These words are as fleshy as they are, but in this palace, in their eyes, they can't be more normal. From a certain point of view, this can be regarded as a statement.

Since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, especially after the destruction of Wei Zhongxian, these eunuchs have been like having lost their own fathers and children, and they have been suppressed by the civil official group, which can be regarded as a miserable bullying. And for these people who have experienced the glory of the eunuch group, this feeling of being bullied is especially profound. As long as it is a eunuch, it will be doubtful about the good old days.

In today's palace, the eunuchs are all in their own ways, each for their own master, carefully serving the emperor, smiling and bending down to face the civil officials who come in and out. Unlike before, the oldest and most powerful in the palace is the ancestor, and the rest of the eunuchs are his sons, grandsons, and so on.

"Okay, with your filial piety, our family will show you a clear way." Cao Huachun seemed to have forgotten that it was he who brought Wang Dehua here, but he thought that after Wang Dehua said it, he had something to say, "Your Majesty's actions after returning to the palace today, you don't need to be told by our family, you should have understood, right?" ”

Wang Dehua is one of the big names in the palace, so he naturally has his own eyes and ears to pay attention to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Well, Your Majesty is very unhappy, because a few people have been killed because of a trivial matter, which was rare before!" Wang Dehua nodded and replied, "Also, Originally, His Majesty was going to discuss matters with the cabinet, but the decree was postponed, which was almost impossible before!" ”

Cao Huachun nodded, and reached out to help Wang Dehua up. Then he talked about the transformation of Emperor Chongzhen from the incident of Lu Xiangsheng to today, and finally concluded: "Your Majesty is already dissatisfied with those sour Confucians, this is our opportunity!" ”

If this is not the case, even if Cao Huachun wants to do anything again, he will not dare. After all, no matter how powerful you are, you have to have a life.

Wang Dehua stood up, forgot to pat the dust on his knees, stared at Cao Huachun with bright eyes and asked, "Then ...... What should the son do? ”

Cao Huachun was very satisfied with Wang Dehua's self-consciousness, he immediately stretched out his head and whispered.

When Wang Dehua heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately nodded again and again.

Cao Huachun's method is not very risky, and it can be tolerated. But if it succeeds, the benefits of the East Factory are the greatest. As long as it is the commander of the East Factory, he will definitely do it.

Seeing that Wang Dehua agreed with his proposal, Cao Huachun was also very satisfied. He actually doesn't have the ambition to be a nine-thousand-year-old, he just wants to live comfortably, say nothing in the palace, and be respected outside, that's it.

Otherwise, people who have no roots, they already have nothing, and they finally climb so high, and they have to see those sour people wagging their tails, who wouldn't care about such a situation?

At the court the next day, Emperor Chongzhen tried to ask the cabinet whether there could be some more money and food to be prepared in various places, one is to help the victims in various parts of the Central Plains, so that they can survive this harsh winter, so as not to send troops to suppress bandits in the coming year; The second is to issue some military salaries to the Qinwang army in Funing, so that they can guard Funing with peace of mind and not think about killing good people again.

It's a pity that Emperor Chongzhen was disappointed again. Originally, after he saw those supplies in the city, he thought that he could have some of them this time, but he didn't expect that there would be all kinds of complaints, and he didn't ask for money anyway.

Before it got dark, Emperor Chongzhen was so angry that he drove back to the harem. But he was angry, and no one cared. When the point is reached, the person who should leave can't go in turn, everything seems normal.

However, when it got dark, it was different. It's just that the cabinet ministers on duty don't know about it.

Under the manipulation of the most powerful eunuch in the palace, and under the guidance of the eunuch who understood Emperor Chongzhen's temper, Emperor Chongzhen decided on his own as if he had never made a decision before. (To be continued.) )
