The next day, Emperor Chongzhen took a few guards out of the palace and went to He Mansion to see Aobai.

People who are killed very badly are often betrayed not by enemies, but by friends. Because people are defenseless against their friends, but friends may not always be so righteous.

When Ao Bai got along with Chongzhen, he always behaved as a friend.

The matter of Shanxi, Chongzhen felt that it was beneficial to the court. Shanxi people pay less taxes, and the surname Baiyuan is definitely beneficial. But what is the benefit of Aobai? Could it be that he could do so more than the provincial officials who paid more taxes? If you think about it a little, you know that this is impossible. Therefore, Chongzhen believes that Ao worship is not for selfishness, if it is for the public, it is for the court, for him. Such a courtier can also be forgiven for making mistakes in time.

Chongzhen came to He Mansion with this mentality of forgiveness. He needs to worship, and so does the court.

The two met in the hall, and Chongzhen smiled: "Isn't Huang Qing sick?" Why don't you rest in the bedroom and run to the living room to wait for me? ”

After bowing to Shili, the turtle smiled and said, "I have practiced so much, how can I get sick so easily." I cheated on my illness to deceive those ministers who impeached me, not to deceive the king. Since the emperor is spicy, he is still willing to listen to my advice, and those victims in Shaanxi can be saved. I knew that the Jianghuai salt merchants had been copied, but the silver was collected into the treasury and not sent to Shaanxi for disaster relief.

It's not too late to do this, I was in Guyuan last month, and the governor of the three sides, Lord Wu, had the heart to kill himself.

Chongzhen sighed: "Huang Peng, Lian trusts you, reuses you, and knows that you have extraordinary talents, but the affairs of Shanxi, the court and bandits are all holding on, how can you let me be?" Why don't you discuss it with me beforehand? ”

Ao Bai smiled bitterly: "If we had discussed it in advance, this matter would definitely not have been done, because I didn't make you believe that it would be beneficial to do so." Didn't I say that? If you want to make something perfect, you don't have to do anything. Shanxi is a good example of a price. If the whole country could do that, the arrows with the surname Baiyuan would live and work in peace and contentment, the treasury would not be empty, and the people with the surname Baiyuan would praise the emperor instead of as they are now. The people of Shaanxi no longer believe in the court, and there are many deserters in the military households, and these people have lost their ropes and led a group of civilians to rob and rob merchants. They are still in the climate because many people have fled to Shanxi and been relieved by the people of Heimangzhai, if it were not for this, maybe there would have been a civil uprising. I don't like to be an official in the first place, and if the emperor wants to force me to dismiss me from my post according to the minister's will, I won't feel uncomfortable. If you need me, I can give you advice as a civilian, if you want to listen.

Chongzhen took a sip of tea and said lightly: "What you wrote in your letter can have some truth, but has Daming really reached such a serious point?" ”

"I went out to take a look, it's not nonsense, the poor family surnamed Bai Yuan wears a pair of pants, who goes out, if not, how can I go out to grab shoes in Ningxia Town? Shaanxi is much more serious than Ningxia Town, and many people died of starvation in Lonely. Ao Bai glanced at Chongzhen's guards and said lightly: "They are listening here, if I name and say bad things about some ministers, I will offend people again." Your Majesty, come with me to the study and sit for a while. Let them wait here for a maximum of an hour. ”

"Okay." Chongzhen didn't doubt Ao Bai's motive for going to the study at all, and they used to chat in the study so that no one would disturb them. This time, however, it was an exception.

Entering the study, Ao Bai closed the door, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, you can take a look at the book on the table first, it is some of my thoughts, after reading it, I will explain it in detail." ”

"Okay." Chongzhen picked up the notebook on the table and exposed his back to the turtle.

Many people don't know they are going to die until they die. Kill Zhen opened the book and took a look, and found that it was not the party that governed the country at all, he thought he had taken the puppet, and he just wanted to ask which one it was... Ao Bai came up from behind and grabbed his neck with both hands, and with a click, he broke Chongzhen's neck, loosening it like a chicken.

This Ming Emperor, who didn't know anything, lost his breath without shouting and became a confused ghost.

Ao Bai hugged Chongzhen's corpse, took a few deep breaths, and said lightly: "Come out, hurry up and change his clothes." ”

Li Fugui walked out from behind the bookshelf, saw the dead Mi Zhen, and trembled: "Brother, I ......."

"Don't be afraid, don't move the seal of Hades, stabilize your mind.

From now on, forget your previous name, you only have one name, and that is Zhu Youzhen, you are Emperor Chongzhen. Ao Wan said, picked up Chongzhen and put it flat on the desk, and took off the yellow robe on his body.

Li Fugui gradually calmed down, changed into Chongzhen's clothes, and even changed his inner clothes, because the clothes Chongzhen wore were all sewn by the tailors in Xizhong, and the materials were exquisite.

Ao Bai carefully dressed Chongzhen in a prepared mourning dress.

With this kind of hand, you can leave the whole corpse, and you will die at once, maybe there is no pain, it is like falling asleep. Is it really painless? Ao Bai didn't know that he had never died.

At least this is better than letting him support a national family under huge pressure, watching the Donglin Party fight among themselves, and finally being hanged by Li Zicheng after attacking Brown Jingyuan City, right? The rest of the things will be left to the seal to complete, and the Ming Dynasty will never perish. The turtle bowed to himself. Emperors who have no power and interests are no different from ordinary people, they are all so fragile.

Ao Bai put Chongzhen's body into the box prepared in the study and covered it with a cloth. Li Fugui also changed his clothes and said, "Brother, what should I do now?" ”

"Now that you're going to change your name, someone is calling me Huang Qing and Huang Peng. Let's just wait a while, pretend it's okay, and go out. After returning to the palace, you can pretend to be unhappy and talk less. In the past, the people around Chongzhen had to be removed, and some eunuchs grew up watching him grow up, and if he was not careful, he would be seen to be flawed. Kill them all, don't be alert, I'm the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and it's very simple to mobilize the Jinyi Guard to do these things with you. ”

Li Fugui swallowed and spit, he is a person who has read the books of sages, and the concept of hierarchy is very heavy, and now the great emperor was killed by Ao Bai Qingsong, and he also wanted to kill some innocent eunuchs in the palace, such a method made him feel a little terrifying.

Ao Bai saw what he thought, and said lightly: "Don't think too much, those who achieve great things are not informal." It's a bit harsh to do this, for the sake of our future. If you hadn't come to Jingbi City, you might have to be an ordinary person for the rest of your life. You said that you wanted to become a Jinyiwei, and you knew that you were not an ordinary person. We'll work well together. ”

Li Fugui said lightly: "I'm not suspicious of Brother Brother, but is it really okay to cut it?" ”

Ao Bai smiled and said: "Now that Chongzhen is really dead, who can prove that you are a fake?" I know the Donglin Party, as long as you are willing to reuse them, even if you know that you are fake, they will take you seriously. Tomorrow, you will announce the re-selection of the six eunuchs in the palace and replace them with your own people. The Silver Eagle will take this opportunity to enter the palace. He is there for you and will help you. ”

Li Fugui nodded. These days, in addition to teaching him to imitate Zhu Youzhen, Ao Bai told him about the official position of the Ming Dynasty. question, so that he will not look like a fool in Fuli.

The two chatted for a long time. It's all in the palace precautions, Chongzhen's wife is resolutely not touchable, fortunately, Chongzhen is not lustful, eager to do something to make a difference, so the energy is all on the court and watching the folds, so far there is only one shield queen.

Li Fugui learned from the emperor's tone and said: "Lian will send all the silver obtained from the Jianghuai Salt Field to Shaanxi for disaster relief tomorrow, what does Huang Qing think?" ”

"The emperor is wise." Ao Bai said lightly: "The tone is a little heavier, a little more impatient, tomorrow, I will go to the court with you and surprise the Donglin Party." Li Guo, the capital of the cabinet, Wu Zongdao, these bastards who delay things, let them step down tomorrow, and if you want to improve the efficiency of the court, you must first find a person who is unscrupulous to be the first assistant. Li Biao is the first choice. ”

Li Fugui asked, "Li Biao is Liang's sister-in-law's grandfather, right?" ”

Ao Bai smiled slightly: "That's right, he is his own family, he is not attached to any party, he is the most suitable to be the first assistant, and he is also a decent person, I can testify." ”

Liang Bin has the grace of knowing Li Fugui, and Li Biao's position as the first assistant must have been decided. Now the Li family is still regretting marrying their granddaughter to Liang Bin, and the same front as Ao Bai has pressed the wrong treasure, and the situation has changed 180 degrees.

Li Fugui asked: "Brother, I want to take out all the lows in the treasury to save the surname of Shaanxi Baiyuan, is this okay?" ”

Ao Bai smiled: "Of course you can, this is a must!" It doesn't matter how many people you take, and it doesn't matter if the treasury is empty, aren't we doing these things just to save the world? As soon as there is any situation, you can transfer silver from Shanxi to maintain the treasury. In addition, we are going to set up a group called the Ki Kuen Hui Hui in the near future. Organize people to donate. Donations can be used for disasters, water conservancy, schools, and so on...... In short, it is Yar for the people, for the people. Shake hands and play dedication. Eunuchs were recruited, and various posts were rearranged for them to collect taxes. Try to get money from southern merchants, rob the rich and help the poor. Reorganize his henchmen, Jinyiwei is our people, needless to say, Dongchang will also be done, and let Yinying, a fake eunuch, do it. Together, we cleaned up this chaotic court. ”

"Brother, I feel like I'm in a dream. It's great to have someone like you. Li Fugui said, crying quietly and rushing over. If only this had been done earlier...... My grandfather, my parents, and my sister don't have to die. ”

Ao Bai put his arm around his shoulders and said, "If people can't be resurrected after death, don't think about it, now you have to do more things for the living." Step by step, I think three years is enough to change this Kuang family. ”
