Emperor Chongzhen looked at Lu Da, who was taken out of the palace by the inner attendant, and did not move for a long time. The Wenhua Hall suddenly fell silent, and no one dared to pant loudly. The current emperor is in a bad mood, and if he wants to annoy him, he will be wronged if he is directly beaten to death.

But seeing that it was getting dark, it wasn't a problem to keep doing this. Finally, Cao Huachun, who was standing on the side, bowed down and asked, "Your Majesty, it's time to drive for dinner!" ”

Who knows, Emperor Chongzhen said in a non-trivial manner: "After what loyalty, the pillars of the Ming Dynasty are not worth a mere slave of the Lu family!"

When Cao Huachun heard this, he was taken aback, and he hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, be cautious!" ”

"Am I wrong? I chose some people to ask the Heavenly Army to learn the art of artillery, but they pushed back and forth, and finally failed. Emperor Chongzhen suddenly erupted and shouted angrily, "Don't think that after more than two years, I will forget. Eat the king's luck, be loyal to the king's things, but be greedy for life and afraid of death, too lazy to eat, none of them are good things! ”

When Cao Huachun heard this, he immediately understood, it turned out that because of this Lu Da incident, Emperor Chongzhen remembered that after he wanted to select Zhongliang in the past, reliable children went to learn artillery skills, but he delayed again and again, pretending to be sick and looking for excuses, and in the end, there was no reliable person recognized by the imperial court who was willing to learn.

He was about to speak and persuade Emperor Chongzhen to be angry, but he heard Emperor Chongzhen spit out words that surprised him even more: "There are also civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty, don't think that I don't know that civil officials love money, and military generals spare their lives." Otherwise, will they allow the thieves such as Jianyu and the Heavenly Army to negotiate conditions with the imperial court? Also, what's the matter with the fact that there are so many anti-thieves in my Ming Dynasty? Is it a desolation or a ......?"

Emperor Chongzhen's words became more and more serious, and he was so frightened that all the palace maids in the Wenhua Hall fell to their knees, bowed their heads and did not dare to move.

Cao Huachun's forehead was sweating, and it was the first time he had encountered the wrath of thunder in the years he had served the young emperor. When his mind was turning sharply, thinking about how to deal with it, Emperor Chongzhen was already facing him, as if he was an enemy, and roared: "If the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are willing to do their best, how can they let me make an edict against myself?" Since the founding of Taizu, how many people have been guilty of their own edicts, and my ability is so poor? ”

It can be heard that although Emperor Chongzhen has issued an edict of guilt, he has always been angry. This time, Cao Huachun couldn't stop it, and his legs fell to his knees.

But Emperor Chongzhen did not give up, and suddenly broke out today, so he naturally no longer had scruples. I only heard him continue to roar in the Wenhua Palace: "I have already cut back on food and clothing, and even the dragon robe has to be made up by the queen, and I am reluctant to change it." My mind is full of money, for military salaries, for civil affairs, for natural disasters...... What about them? How are they? Drunk gold fan, drunk life and dream death? ”

has been unwilled for a long time, there are countless troubles every day, and I have been living a life of grievance, getting up early and going to bed late, worrying about my strength. Chongzhen's days, if his ideals can be realized, then these hardships are worth it.

But as the days passed, Zhongxing Daming's ideal could not see a little light. It is true that Jianyu can't fight the strength of the Ming Dynasty and is soft. But what else? There are anti-thieves every year, everywhere, this phenomenon, but the last generation of the dynasty!

Even if he is Jianyu, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen has no bottom in his heart. In case Jianyu is going to fight again, will the Ming army be able to win the Jianyu?

He really wants to be a good emperor and save the building, but he has always been powerless. Qian Liang was like an invisible hand, always choking his throat. It is like a drowning person, who is struggling all the time, but the water is not strong, and he does not know when it will sink.

Under such tremendous pressure, Emperor Chongzhen finally broke out. But then the mood was a little more relaxed, and looking at the silent palace maid in the palace, she suddenly sat back on the throne weakly, and sighed: "They can speak one by one, but they don't know what they can do." I'm still young and have this time, but is there this time in this world? ”

Hearing this, Cao Huachun, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly moved in his heart. However, the matter was too important, and he still did not dare to take this opportunity to say it.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he saw the secret music on the imperial case, so he sighed again and said: "It's not that there are no loyal ministers and capable officials, it's just a pity that Lu Qing wants to be buried by the thief!" If I had known earlier, I would have arranged for someone else to replace me! ”

Cao Huachun heard the deep regret in Emperor Chongzhen's words, and thought that the opportunity would not come again, if he missed this opportunity, this young son of heaven might not have such an impulsive and resentful time. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, raised his head and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, is Lord Lu going to assassinate Hu Guang, the leader of the thieves called the Heavenly Army?" ”

He listened so much that he could roughly deduce it from the situation. With this as a starting point, the temptation began.

After this venting, Emperor Chongzhen was in a much better mood. happened to be emotional, so he naturally said: "Yes, Lu Qingyan said that he is close to the head of the thief as a civil official, and he will be able to slash the thief." As soon as this thief is eliminated, the heavenly army will become a plate of scattered sand, and there is no need to worry about it. ”

Regarding Lu Xiangsheng's ability, whether it is Emperor Chongzhen or Cao Huachun, they have seen his embryo and know his martial bravery, so they are convinced.

Cao Huachun pondered while continuing to guide: "Lord Lu is brave and will be able to succeed, it can be regarded as a real solution to the great trouble in the northwest for the Ming Dynasty, but it's a pity for Lord Lu!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't! It's a pity that Lu Qing was martyred like this! Emperor Chongzhen once again expressed his regret, and then said with a little annoyance, "If I could have been able to distinguish who is loyal and who is traitorous, I must have arranged for others." It's just a pity that the court disputes are like fog, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong? ”

Finally hearing what he wanted, Cao Huachun gritted his teeth and reminded: "Your Majesty is talented and intelligent, and no one can match it. It's hard to tell right now, it's just that there are still unused means! ”

"Oh, I still have the means to do it?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he asked rhetorically with a hint of doubt.

Cao Huachun didn't dare to be too urgent, so he didn't reveal the mystery, but just reminded again: "Yes, it is the inheritance of Taizu Chengzu, with Yue Wumu as an example, specially designed to supervise hundreds of officials and distinguish between loyalty and treachery. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his puzzled face suddenly turned grim, and he stood up from his throne and stared at Cao Huachun about to get angry.

If Emperor Chongzhen has fear and shadow in his heart, it is the once powerful factory guard. When he was a vassal king, and when he first ascended the throne, he felt it firsthand. Moreover, the people around him, including the military generals of Wenchen and the emperor's relatives, also instilled the saying that the factory guards were as fierce as tigers at every opportunity, so that he finally issued an order to restrain the factory guards, which was like abandonment.

More importantly, Emperor Chongzhen's brother, the previous emperor Tianqi, died a little unexpectedly, and many people speculated that Wei Zhongxian did it at that time.

Cao Huachun, who was kneeling on the ground, originally stared at Emperor Chongzhen's face after he said it. When I suddenly saw that something was wrong, I was shocked.
