Just came out of the edict prison, Luo Chen was told by his subordinates that Cao Huachun was here.

took Zhang Jin and Zhang Ying to the main hall of the Yamen, and saw Cao Huachun sitting leisurely in Luo Chen's position, casually flipping through the records of the North Division.

Luo Chen smiled faintly and stepped forward to salute: "The child has seen his father-in-law." ”

Cao Huachun stood up, handed a scroll of holy decree to Luo Chen, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a lot of credit this time, Your Majesty is very happy, and you praise you for being a good courtier who can do things, this is a reward from Your Majesty, you can see for yourself." ”

Cao Huachun looked at Luo Chen, and he didn't even bother to read the holy decree, which seemed not so respectful. But whether it was the little eunuch who was following him, or Zhang Jin and Zhang Ying who were standing on the side, they all looked down at the ground as if they hadn't seen it.

Luo Chen spread it out and even looked at it, and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty's life doesn't look very easy, does it?"

When Cao Huachun heard this, his chubby old face collapsed, and he shouted softly: "Thunder and rain and dew are all heaven's grace!" As a minister, where do you have the courage to pick and choose! ”

Luo Chen didn't take Cao Huachun's seriousness on the surface, and this person was not a loyal minister, he said with a smile: "What my father-in-law taught me was that the child was too careless. ”

For more than a year, whenever he exterminated the bandits and harvested the treasures, Luo Chen would always pick out some of the treasures and send them to Cao Huachun.

After more than a year of filial piety, even a pig can get Cao Huachun's favor, and now among Cao Huachun's many righteous sons, Luo Chen's favorite is Luo Chen.

Luo Chen casually threw the holy decree on the desk, Cao Huachun didn't say anything this time, the reward given by Emperor Chongzhen was indeed too picky.

To say that Luo Chen not only eliminated the two gangs of thieves of the Golden Snake Alliance and the Mountain Wolf this time, but also kept two million taels of silver, the credit is definitely not light.

In addition, in the past year, Jinyiwei has made continuous efforts to completely exterminate all the bandits in Beizhili and Shandong, and solved the emperor's heart disease.

However, after accumulating so much credit, he only received some dispensable verbal rewards and a few taels of broken silver. You can give an official title or anything, this kind of reward like a flower is called a flower, isn't it chilling?

Cao Huachun explained: "Your Majesty has always remembered your merits. But Your Majesty really can't get a silver reward! What kind of family background do you have, no matter how much silver you are rewarded, you will not put it in your eyes, it is better to let Your Majesty remember it.

Your Majesty wants to compensate you in your official position, but ask our family to stop you, you are now in the Jinyi Guard, and you have Luo Yang on your head, and you can't be promoted if you want to be promoted in the Jinyi Guard, and if you want to be promoted, you can only fall to other yamen. But the two of us finally saved up the family foundation of Beizhen Fusi, how can we say that we can let it go and give it to others? ”

Luo Chen nodded and smiled: "It's still the father-in-law who can see it, and the child is ashamed!" ”

"By the way, father-in-law, the child is worried, this time to exterminate the rebels and protect Caoyin, but the details of Beizhen Fusi have been exposed a lot, I don't know if Your Majesty knows?"

The number of horsemen that Kitazhen Fuji had been putting on the surface was only 3,000, and suddenly at least 10,000 or more were exposed, and he also had good field combat ability.

Not to mention that those civil ministers are jealous, even Chongzhen himself can't help but think about it when he is afraid. In addition, the trouble of bandits has been eliminated, and I am afraid that some people will not be able to help but hide their bows.

Fortunately, those who know the true strength of Beizhen Fusi are currently only Ma Shiying and his soldiers and horses. Luo Chen helped him keep the silver from loss, and added some credit for the extermination of the thief, which was able to appease the other party and keep it a secret for the time being.

But after all, there are too many people who know about this, and it is difficult to keep the news out, so he also wants to know if this matter has reached the palace.

There is nothing to hide from Cao Huachun, except for the intelligence network and the existence of the 'evil killer' that has gradually recovered from the Beizhen Fusi, Luo Chen also deliberately exposed some strength for Cao Huachun to see.

It is precisely because of the gradual increase in his own weight that otherwise, with those filial piety, he can only win Cao Huachun's favor at most, and it is impossible to gain the trust of the other party.

Cao Huachun's face was a little serious: "You did do something a little negligent in this matter, but you can rest assured for the time being." The celebrant is guarded by me, and these troubles have not reached His Majesty's ears so quickly. In addition, you have already disposed of some of the beginnings and tails, even if those imperial envoys in the court hear some rumors and refer to you, there is no evidence. ”

Luo Chen said: "Thank you father-in-law for this." ”

Cao Huachun smiled: "Our own family, if your father-in-law doesn't help you, who will help you?" ”

"By the way, after a while, some of our friends from the rivers and lakes will come to the capital, and I will arrange for them to go to King Cheng's Mansion, and remember to take care of them more when you arrive."

When Luo Chen heard this, his heart suddenly cleared.

He remembered that in the original book, Cao Huachun also gathered a group of Jianghu masters such as the Five Poisons Sect and the Shiliang Sect to enter Beijing at about this time, intending to force Gong Chongzhen and push his puppet King Cheng onto the dragon chair.

Cao Huachun didn't know that Luo Chen had a group of 'evil killers' under him, otherwise he might not be able to find a master from outside the palace, so why not just arrange Luo Chen's errands?

Luo Chen said quietly: "Father-in-law, don't worry, if your friends arrive, just send someone to inform them, and I will ask my subordinates to make it convenient for them." ”

Cao Huachun smiled: "That's fine, I'll tell you something when the time comes." ”

If you really want to talk about it, now Cao Huachun is bolder than Wei Zhongxian at the beginning, at least Wei Zhongxian doesn't have the courage to kill the Emperor of the Apocalypse and change him to a puppet.

Maybe Wei Zhongxian thought about it, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse pressed it, and he didn't dare.

Watching Cao Huachun leave with someone, Luo Chen remained silent on the surface.

In fact, not only Cao Huachun wanted to push the puppet of King Cheng to that position, Luo Chen also had this idea, he also wanted to get a puppet to be the emperor.

As for Chongzhen, it's better than being the king of the fallen country.

……

In the main hall, except for Luo Chen and Zhang Jin's father and daughter, there are no outsiders.

Luo Chen said lightly: "You also heard it just now, our commander who doesn't do anything and doesn't in the pit, don't you think it's a little in the way?" ”

Zhang Jin was already in the same boat as Luo Chen, and immediately understood Luo Chen's meaning, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, you can rest assured, you know what to do!" ”

"Don't show your ponytail and try to be natural."

"Lord Luo has always been in poor health, and sudden illness is unpredictable."

At the same time, Zhang Jin also knew in his heart that if Luo Chen took another step, then the position of the head of the Fusi Division of Beizhen would be vacant.

If there is anyone who is most likely to achieve that position, he feels that he is more trusted by Luo Chen among the Beizhen Fusi.

Luo Chen nodded slightly, and then asked, "All the pharmacists you invited have arrived, right?" Is it arranged? ”

Zhang Jin hurriedly replied: "The humble post has arranged them to a safe place, and he has also sent those people under his command to protect and monitor, which is absolutely foolproof." As soon as they send something over, they can start refining it right away. ”

"In that case, you can send all those things over later, and find them all at any cost, whatever they lack."

"Humble duty understands!"

……

Three days later, when Jin Yiwei commanded Luo to teach himself to have fun, he suddenly fell on the woman's belly, and he died of illness after being unable to be treated.

Seven days later, Cao Huachun secretly spoke, Chongzhen issued an order, and Luo Chen, the former envoy of Beizhen Fusi, succeeded him as the commander of Jinyiwei.
