Chapter 54: It's Time to Change!
Luo Yangxing has been in charge of Jinyiwei for more than ten years, although he has been imprisoned in the prison during this time, but he is clear about the situation outside.
Today's Ming Dynasty has reached the edge of the cliff and is in danger.
At this time, everyone is looking for a way out. Even if it is Chongzhen's father-in-law, he is not with Chongzhen at this moment, thinking about how to win the favor of the new king after the king enters the city.
If you want to say who is sharing the honor and disgrace with Chongzhen now, it is Jinyiwei and the eunuchs of the inner court. The glory and wealth of these people and their lives are tied to the emperor.
In the past, the eunuchs had the East Factory to do things, but since Chongzhen checked and removed the East Factory, only Jinyi Wei remained.
For Da Ming, now is the most dangerous moment. However, for Jin Yiwei and Luo Yangxing, this is also the time when the opportunity is greatest. If you can help Chongzhen get through this wonder, then Jinyiwei will definitely be able to restore the glory of the Hongwu period in the future, and go all over the world, and everyone will be afraid.
Therefore, Luo Yangxing did not hesitate, and immediately knelt on the ground: "The minister is willing to do his best for His Majesty!"
"Good...... Good!" Chongzhen laughed.
In the past, Chongzhen had always relied on literati to do things. In this situation, the literati can't count on it, and can only count on the vicious wolf like Luo Yangxing. Chongzhen is not unclear about what Luo Yangxing is. However, at this point, character is no longer important, the important thing is loyalty, being obedient and able to do things.
Undoubtedly, Luo Yangxing is definitely the most reliable person at the moment, except for Wang Chengen.
"Luo Aiqing, now that the city of Beijing is in turmoil, the top priority is to stabilize people's hearts, to defend Beijing, do you have a countermeasure?" Chongzhen asked, it can be regarded as a test, see how much goods this commander has in his stomach.
Luo Yangxing thought for a moment, then sorted out his clue and said: "The top priority is to stabilize the situation in the court. As long as there is no chaos within us, with the defense of Beijing City, Li Zicheng's rabble will not be able to enter at all. The domestic demand in Beijing can be supplied for half a year, and when the time comes, the thieves will be cut off from food and grass, and the lack of soldiers and horses will naturally retreat!"
"You're right!"
Chongzhen bowed slightly, and in an instant, the words changed abruptly, and his voice was solemn, and he said, "However, your thoughts are still too conservative." It's not enough to maintain stability, and if you don't get rid of the sores, you may break out one day. The so-called outside must first be inside. I want to sweep the Qing Dynasty, take down all the two-faced and three-edged things, completely control the forbidden army and city defense, fight to the death with the thieves, and completely solve the problem of the thieves!"
If he could keep the city of Beijing and save his life before, Chongzhen would be satisfied, otherwise it would be impossible to move the idea of moving the capital. However, after getting the system, Chongzhen wanted more than just self-preservation.
Hiss......
Although he guessed that Chongzhen had made a big move, Luo Yangxing still gasped.
Chongzhen not only wants to control the situation, I'm afraid he also wants to take this opportunity to wash the court in blood.
However, Luo Yangxing's heart immediately became excited. Chongzhen has no one in his hands, and there is no Dongchang, the bloodbath of the court, and the matter of raiding the family and exterminating the clan must not fall on his own head? Isn't the restoration of the glory of the Hongwu period just around the corner?
But......
Luo Yangxing paused, and said with a slight hesitation: "The minister was imprisoned in the prison for half a year, and the current commander is Cui Yingyuan, after he came to power, he wantonly promoted his cronies and colluded with the civil and military officials, if we want to do something to the civil and military officials, it will be difficult to hide from his people!"
Chongzhen looked at him deeply when he heard this. Luo Yangxing's heart trembled slightly, and he lowered his head. He does have his own thoughts. After Cui Yingyuan took office, he basically wiped out all the people who raised Luo Yangxing, if Luo Yangxing didn't take this opportunity to get rid of Cui Yingyuan, even if the official was reinstated, he would not be able to sit steadily.
How could Chongzhen not be able to see through his little abacus, but what Luo Yangxing said was right. Cui Yingyuan's collusion with Wenchen is unreliable at all, otherwise Chongzhen would not need to release Luo Yangxing.
What's more, the current Jinyiwei and the civil and military officials are very closely implicated, many Jinyiwei hundreds, thousands of households have marriages with officials, and even some officials and eunuchs are in charge, if the task of cleaning the court is handed over to them, I am afraid that the door will not come out, and the news will spread throughout the capital.
However, I am well prepared.
The corners of Chongzhen's mouth hooked up a smug smile, there is a system in hand, what are you afraid of?
Chongzhen took out three fireworks signal flares, handed them to Luo Yangxing, and said, "I have secretly cultivated a secret army, called the Axe Army, and you can summon the Axe Army to help at any time with these three signal flares. ”
Luo Yangxing was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Chongzhen to secretly cultivate an army, and he had never even heard of him, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. It seems that this majesty is not as easy to fool as he used to seem.
Chongzhen didn't know what he was thinking, so he just said coldly: "In the court, which people are two-faced and three-sworded, and which people are related to thieves, you, the commander of the brocade guard, know better than me." I don't care about your personal grudges, I don't care about your means, I only have one request. Tomorrow before the sun rises, I want them all to be hung on the tower of the city gate. I want the people of the whole capital to see how these ministers of the Ming Dynasty betrayed the Ming Dynasty behind their backs and betrayed me. ”
Luo Yangxing's heart sank, and said: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!"
Looking at Luo Yangxing's back that disappeared in the darkness, Chongzhen took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, the night had slowly fallen, but unfortunately, the sky was dark, not to mention the moon, there was not a single star.
It seems, obscured by a layer of dark clouds as thick as ink, and there is a dull roar of thunder in the sky.
"Your Majesty, it's going to rain, add an autumn coat!"
At this time, it was the cold of early spring, the night wind was blowing, and Wang Chengen behind him was holding a mink fur and trembling slightly, he was not young after all.
Chongzhen laughed, took the mink fur, did not wear it, but put it on Wang Chengen with his backhand.
"How can this make Your Majesty torture the old slave!" Wang Chengen's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly knelt down!
"Let you wear it, just wear it, I'm old, my body is better!"
Chongzhen's golden mouth and jade law, Wang Chengen didn't dare to refuse, but there were tears in his eyes. If the winner is so, he will go to the soup for the Lord, and he will never give up.
Chongzhen smiled, pointed to the sky and said, "You see that this day is about to change." However, what has changed is not the heaven of the Ming Dynasty, but the heaven of the world. After the cold is the new year, the season of rebirth of all things. The same is true of the Ming Dynasty, it is cold tonight, and it will rise tomorrow, which is a new life. ”
"The old slave believes in Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, blessed by God, blessed by Taizu and Chengzu!" Wang Chengen burst into tears.
