Your Majesty, what would you say to your ministers? How should the minister answer?

Shi Dayong waited quietly, waiting for Emperor Chongzhen's voice to sound. However, what he never expected was that Emperor Zhuang Lie, who he was willing to defend with his life, suddenly said something that made him petrify instantly.

"Shi Dayong, do you have a disobedient heart to me?"

The young genius's voice was not loud, but it was full of anger and even more murderous.

"Your Majesty!"

Shi Dayong only felt dizzy and couldn't believe what he heard: Where did this start, when did I Shi Dayong ever have a disobedient heart!

Anger arose, and he couldn't help but raise his head and look forward, but this time, he was stunned on the spot and didn't dare to move again.

I saw that ten meters in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, was looking at him intently, and the face of the young son of heaven was frosty.

Jiang Wanli and Cao Bianjiao were also shocked by the words of the Son of Heaven, and they all raised their heads together, but like Shi Dayong, they shuddered when they saw the emperor's sword-like eyes.

Jiang Wanli was even more frightened, and in a flash of light, he suddenly remembered that Inspector Yuan seemed to be imprisoned by the emperor's order on the platform two years ago!

How so? How so? How so?

Shi Dayong was aggrieved, he was angry, he happily came to Beijing to offer prisoners, and he was excited to be summoned by the Son of Heaven, but he didn't expect the emperor to suspect that he was disobedient?

Joke, saying that I Shi Dayong has a heart of disobedience, a big joke! I am a traverser, willing to defend the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, why do you say that I have a heart of disobedience!

Emperor Zhuang Lie, Emperor Zhuang Lie, if you really think that I Shi Dayong has a heart of disobedience, you really should be hanged in the coal mountain!

What the hell is going on?! Why would an emperor say such a thing!

Shi Dayong was extremely aggrieved, "bang" to the ground, kowtowed a few times, then raised his forehead, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the minister dares to swear to the sky, to the Ming Dynasty, to the emperor, the minister is full of blood, swear allegiance, and never have the heart of a subordinate!" ”

"Really?"

Chongzhen looked coldly at the masked courtier in front of him, and was not moved by his words, but glanced at Wang Chengen, and said coldly: "Chengen, listen to him." ”

"Yes, Emperor!"

Wang Chengen hurriedly walked in front of Shi Dayong and asked condescendingly: "Shi Dayong, there are people who have no discipline in the imperial court, and they took advantage of the opportunity to seize the military and political power of Jinzhou, and also put the prefect Chen Ang under house arrest. He also said that you were unusually domineering, tyrannical, had drunk human blood, eaten human flesh, and controlled people, and had no humanity at all. Are these facts? If it is true, the emperor asks you, what do you want? What are you not disobedient to? ”

"This"

Before Wang Chengen finished speaking, Shi Dayong's heart began to pinch up, it turned out that the accident was here.

He had to defend himself, otherwise, if Chongzhen really thought that things were as Wang Chengen said, he would really be as wronged as Yue Fei, and he did not die on the battlefield, but died under the knife of his own family.

"Back to the emperor, the minister did drink human blood and eat human flesh, but the human flesh and blood eaten were Dongyu Jiannu, not my Ming people. When the eastern captives entered the Kou, Jinzhou was in danger, there were Jiannu in the city, and the ministers wanted to prevent the recurrence of the old things in Shenyang, Liaoyang and other cities, so they invited the governor to order and implement military management of Jinzhou. The first is to conduct a detailed inventory, the second is to calm the people's hearts, and the third is to prepare for the defense of the city, so as not to be distracted, and it is by no means the so-called robbery while the fire is fired. And all this is approved by the governor, and it is definitely not a minister acting without authorization, please let the emperor know! ”

After listening to what Shi Dayong said, Wang Chengen turned his head to look at Chongzhen, who nodded at him slightly, then he turned his head again, and still asked Shi Dayong in a questioning tone: "Then why are you under house arrest Chen Ang, the prefect?" Do you know that the unauthorized house arrest of the court officials is a crime of great rebellion! ”

Shi Dayong argued: "Lord Chen did not want the army to govern Jinzhou, and the minister was afraid that the military and political orders would be inconsistent, which would lead to a business trip to defend the city and lead to the fall of the city, so he put Lord Chen under house arrest. [~] But soon, the minister released Lord Chen, which can be testified by the governor and the officials of Jinzhou! ”

Hearing this, Wang Chengen looked at Chongzhen again, and found that the emperor showed a contemplative expression, so he turned around and asked, "What is the explanation for killing innocents indiscriminately?" ”

"The people killed by the ministers are either those who build slaves or take the opportunity to make trouble, and if they are not killed, the ministers will not be able to defend the city wholeheartedly. The minister did not dare to guarantee that the people he killed were all killable, but the minister dared to guarantee that most of them could be killed. The so-called extraordinary times, extraordinary measures. When Jinzhou's survival is at stake, the minister is responsible for the safety of Jinzhou, and in order to protect the people of the city, the minister will never dare to have a trace of softness. Even if he bears a bad reputation and is pointed out by a thousand people, the minister will not regret what he has done! Your Majesty, for the sake of Jinzhou, the minister would rather kill a thousand wrongs than let go of one! ”

Speaking of this, Shi Dayong suddenly pointed to his face excitedly, "The minister is to the Ming Dynasty, to the emperor's heart, the sun and the moon can be revealed, if the emperor still doesn't believe in the minister, then please take a look at the minister's face!" After speaking, he took off his mask and looked at Chongzhen with his head raised.

"Ahh

Under the mask, the hideous and terrifying face made the young emperor exclaim, and Wang Chengen instinctively took a few steps back and gasped.

This face is the most terrifying face they have ever seen in their lives, the flesh and blood that can't be thinner, like a piece of paper covering the bones, the blood tendons, so clear that they can't be clearer anymore. If it weren't for the fact that he still had half of his face, Chongzhen would even think that what he was kneeling in front of him was not a living person, but a living corpse crawling out of hell.

"The face of the minister is for the Ming Dynasty and the emperor! Just ask, how can the minister have the heart of not being subordinate, please the emperor to see it! Shi Dayong shouted vigorously, the louder the Buddha's voice, the more he could prove his loyalty.

"Please let the emperor know!"

Jiang Wanli and Cao Bianjiao also shouted in unison, and the heads of the three of them slammed to the ground again.

Chongzhen was shocked, he never expected that Shi Dayong's face under the mask would be so terrifying.

Look at his face and listen to his words, what is he Shi Dayong who is not a loyal minister!

Wang Chengen was also silent, looking at the three people kneeling on the ground blankly, his expression changed in a thousand ways

After a long time, Chongzhen Fang exhaled a long breath, the frost on his face was no longer gone, replaced by a pleasant smile, he walked forward gently, and walked straight to Shi Dayong before he froze, trying to suppress the fluctuations in his heart, and said in harmony:

"Aiqing has worked hard, you have made great contributions to me, but I have listened to other people's slander and doubted you, it is really me. I have made amends to you, Aiqing, please hurry up. ”

"Your Majesty!"

Shi Dayong raised his head a little excitedly, only then could he see Chongzhen's face clearly, it was not handsome, but it was not ugly. The young face has a youthful heroic spirit. The not-so-thick beard reminded him that the Son of Heaven in front of him was still very young.

He didn't notice that at this moment, Wang Chengen's expression was very exaggerated, because he didn't know what to say, and Emperor Chongzhen in front of him had never confessed his mistakes to his courtiers. He Shi Dayong was the first person to let the emperor take the initiative to make amends!

The eyes of the Son of Heaven have been looking at Shi Dayong, and his terrifying face has become no longer terrifying, like a famous painting, which makes people never get tired of looking at it.

After getting up slowly, Shi Dayong, Jiang Wanli, and Cao Bianjiao stood there respectfully. The three of them are still scared now, and the anger of the Son of Heaven is really terrifying. Fortunately, the Son of Heaven believes it, otherwise, happy events are very likely to turn into bad things.

Chongzhen didn't know Jiang Wanli and Cao Bianjiao, seeing that they were all wearing military robes, he knew that they were Shi Dayong's subordinates, and looked at Shi Dayong with inquiring eyes, Shi Dayong hurriedly pointed to Jiang Cao and the two and introduced:

"Your Majesty, these two are subordinates of the ministers, the one on the left is named Cao Bianjiao, and the one on the right is Jiang Wanli. The ministers and Jiannu are involved in each service, and the two generals are involved, which can be said to be experienced in a hundred battles, and like the ministers, they are also loyal to the emperor. ”

Pointing at Cao Bianjiao, he deliberately added: "The banner of the slave chieftain Golden Dragon is Cao Bianjiao's brave capture from the army of Jiannu in Xiaoling River!" ”

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard that Cao Bianjiao had won the golden dragon banner of the slave chief among the ten thousand troops, Chongzhen couldn't help but look at Cao Bianjiao twice, and his face showed approval.

On the side, Wang Chengen remembered something, and hurriedly said: "General Cao is not from the Cao family in the northwest?" ”

Cao Bianjiao bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister is indeed a member of the Cao family in the northwest, and the minister's uncle is Cao Wenzhao, the chief military officer of Lintong." ”

Hearing that it was someone from the Cao family, Chongzhen laughed: "Sure enough, after the gate, the future is terrifying." You and Uncle Cao Wenzhao can be described as our Ming Dynasty's big and small Cao generals, I have your assistance, why worry about the world's uncertainties! ”

Cao Bianjiao said proudly: "What the minister wishes in his life is to calm the emperor's captives, and the horse leather shroud is also at his disposal!" ”

"Good, good!"

Chongzhen smiled heartily, and after the previous anger and suspicion disappeared, his mood became extraordinarily good. Looking at the three loyal generals in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of steadiness.

After the laughter, Chongzhen glanced at Shi Dayong again, sighed with feeling, but quickly regained his smile and said to Shi Dayong: "Look at Aiqing, who is also in her prime, have you ever married a wife?" ”

Shi Dayong bowed and said honestly: "Back to the emperor, when the minister was young, he was in the army with his brother, and he has not married a wife until now. But the minister has no intention of marrying a wife, the ancients are cloudy, the Huns have not been destroyed, how can they be home. The minister didn't dare to follow the example of the ancients, but before the slave was destroyed, the minister was unwilling to start a family! ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen suddenly shouted excitedly: "Okay! A good slave has not been destroyed, how can it be home! Aiqing said this well, if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have the determination of Aiqing, why should I worry that the East will not be destroyed, and the world will not be peaceful! ”

The more Chongzhen spoke, the more excited he became, and he actually reached out to grasp Shi Dayong's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Aiqing is my hussar general?" p>
