The eunuch Wang Chengen, the master of ceremonies, was screamed in his sleep, "Oh no, long live the murder!" Shocked, he jumped out of the bed, and when he ran to the imperial study, he was not even wearing one shoe, and he was not fully buttoned, and he was panting heavily.

When Wang Chengen rushed into the imperial study, his red face suddenly turned blue - the first time he saw such a bloody scene in his life, he almost fell to the ground as soon as his legs went limp.

It is also common to kill eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, but in the past, they were dragged outside to do it, and they were directly killed on the spot, and there were two bloody heads rolling on the ground, which was the first time I had encountered it.

However, after all, Wang Chengen is old, and he has been serving in the palace for many years, he has already accumulated enough life experience and work experience, and his personality is still stable and old. When the matter came, he was not too flustered - at this moment, he gritted his teeth, first stabilized his mind, and then closed the door of the imperial study with his backhand, first swept his eyes over the several eunuchs present one by one, released a stern and cold voice, and said word by word:

"You have all heard clearly to our family, what is happening here, only these few people know, as long as one more person knows, our family will immediately cut off your head - your relatives in your hometown will be wiped out together!"

The little eunuchs in the imperial study were already trembling with fright, but now they trembled even more, and they fell to their knees one by one, almost crying: "The little ones will never dare to talk too much!" ”

Wang Chengen sighed slightly in his heart, if it were the temper of the other eunuchs in charge, none of these people would be able to stay - who let himself believe in Buddhism and be willing to do more good deeds?

I thought so in my heart. But Wang Chengen said coldly: "Not only should you keep your mouth tight, but when you go out later." The look on his face should also be put on our family like a person who has nothing to do! ”

After saying this, Wang Chengen ordered the eunuchs to carry two stretchers. First, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the ground and convulsive, was already delirious, and carried him on a stretcher, covered with a thick blanket, and prepared to carry him to other palaces. Another stretcher carried the two headless bodies, also covered with a thick blanket, and carried them outside the palace for disposal, while the others used hot water to wash the blood stains in the room.

However, the matter of destroying the corpse is easy to deal with, but it is even more difficult to send Emperor Chongzhen to other palaces - no matter which concubine sees the current appearance of the Long Live Lord. It's strange if you're not frightened, and it's even more difficult to keep your mouth shut, after all, concubines can't kill people, right?

Wang Chengen only groaned slightly, and then decided to keep Emperor Chongzhen still in the imperial study.

changed a set of bedding, and then Emperor Chongzhen carried it back to the bed. At this moment, Chongzhen had fallen into a coma, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his mouth was indistinguishable and muttered. Wang Chengen looked at the emperor like this, and his heart was also anxious. On the one hand, he ordered someone to ask the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, and on the other hand, he ordered someone to burn strong sandalwood incense indoors to drive away the smell of blood.

The bedding, chair covers, sheets, curtains, carpets, etc., were immediately taken out and burned, and no trace was left behind. Finish that. Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and immediately called the eunuchs to ask.

Wang Chengen tried his best to control his emotions, and asked lightly: "What is the purpose of killing people?" ”

A little eunuch said in a panic: "The little one doesn't know!" The little one heard the noise come in. Long live the Lord has ......"

Wang Chengen's eyes narrowed slightly, obviously in this case. It is impossible for the little eunuchs to deceive themselves, so they should not have seen the murder of the Lord of Long Live - uh. Presumably, if they were present, Long Live Lord would definitely kill them together.

Wang Chengen groaned slightly, and asked in a different way: "Isn't the Long Live Lord already resting?" Why did you get up again? What happened? ”

The little eunuchs hurriedly replied: "The Xuanfu sent an urgent document, saying that Jiannu had come in, and several places had been lost, so the ...... of the Long Live Lord got up."

Wang Chengen's heart froze, and his eyes shifted to the imperial case, and there was indeed a "eight hundred miles expedited" on the table. Wang Chengen walked over quickly, and was about to pick it up to see, when there was a rush of footsteps in his ears. As soon as he turned around, he saw a little eunuch running in to report: "The prince and the civil and military officials have all arrived, waiting for the long live lord to go to court!" ”

Wang Chengen was stunned, and then looked up at the sky outside the door, only to see that the outside was slightly white, but it was not the time of the early dynasty.

"Long live the lord passed on the civil and military officials to the court?"

The little eunuchs nodded again and again: "Back to the words of the prince, it is exactly like this." ”

Wang Chengen glanced at Emperor Chongzhen, who had a crooked mouth and eyes on the dragon bed, and handed over the eight-hundred-mile letter to the little eunuch who came to report it, and said with a frown: "You go out to pass the decree, long live Lord because he got up late at night, he unexpectedly suffered from the cold, and now he has a headache and fever, and he can't go to the court. ”

"Yes—" The eunuch took the paperwork with both hands and walked out of the imperial study quickly.

Wang Chengen returned to the emperor's bed, looked at Emperor Chongzhen's pale and distorted face, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch Emperor Chongzhen's forehead. Hurry up and rush! ”

The little eunuch hurriedly ran out, Wang Chengen guarded Emperor Chongzhen, and he was so panicked in his heart that a moment was longer than a year......

At the same time, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty gathered in the Taihe Hall to discuss matters under the abbot of Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet. Since the Jiannu soldiers had already entered the Xuanfu and were heading to the capital to kill, the deliberations were 10,000 times smoother than usual.

The "mad dog" imperial historians also obediently shut up, and it doesn't hurt to tear it up at ordinary times, but at this time, the military situation is urgent, and which one of them has not noticeably delayed the military situation, and it happened to be brought out by the "Gong Gong Zhugong" of the DPRK and China to be used as a substitute for the dead ghost -- the "mad dog" is also intelligent, not a "stupid dog......

Everyone gave up the habit of chattering and arguing, and they all looked at Shoufu Wen Tiren with a blank eye.

Wen Tiren was in a hurry in his heart, and he couldn't wait for a few stupid hats to come out to "offer advice" - when the time comes, it will naturally be his own credit, and if it doesn't work, someone will carry it - but everyone who can stand on the Taihe Hall is a human spirit, how can there be a fool?

Wen Tiren couldn't hide if he wanted to, but he also knew very well in his heart that at this time, it was a critical moment, and the decision he made must be extremely risky.

Wen Tiren glanced at the second assistant Zhou Yanru, and saw that the "traitor" looked at him with an expression of zero IQ, and his face was full of "what should I do when Lord Shoufu says, just do it...... (To be continued.) )
