Chapter 6: Chicken Soup for the Soul
The emperor personally went out of the palace to greet them, no wonder they were flattered, what a courtesy!
The highest official among them is only a military attache from the fifth rank, and there are many ordinary Jinyi guards' heads, servants, and cavalry, who have no official positions, and they usually want to see the emperor.
Although it is the emperor of the endangered dynasty, it is also the emperor, after all, he ruled the Ming Dynasty for 17 years.
What's more, these people are all diehards of the Ming Dynasty.
"You are all my good sons of the Ming Dynasty, so far the national crisis is at the head, and you can serve the country with blood, what is the crime? Hurry up and flatten down. ”
"Thank you, Lord Long." Jin Yiwei stood up one after another.
Asked Wang Chengen to count the number of people, a total of 269 people, Emperor Chongzhen came to Li Ruolian and Wang Guoxing approached and patted them on the shoulder.
The two old men stood with straight pens and surging blood, what a honor this is?
"From today onwards, you are all the guards of the pro-army in our palace, and all actions are arranged by Wang Daban." In a word, the Jinyi Guard is still the Jinyi Guard, the forbidden army is still the forbidden army, but when he becomes a palace guard, his identity is definitely different.
"I'll do as I ordered, long live you."
For a while, they were impressed by the emperor, it was said that this was a mean and suspicious king, and he was so approachable and polite and virtuous, it seems that the rumors are pure nonsense.
Even Wang Chengen, who is usually inseparable from the emperor, felt that Chongzhen was a little strange at this time.
Of course they didn't know that this was Chongzhen deliberately pouring chicken soup on them.
As a traverser, of course, I know the effect of pouring chicken soup just right.
After all, these are all loyal to the Ming Dynasty and loyal to the court, if according to the original script, after Chongzhen hanged himself, most of these people followed the emperor.
Now that the emperor is not dead, they will naturally not die either, to revive the Ming Dynasty, to let these people give him their lives, pretend to be at a critical time, give some benefits, and say a few warm words.
The leaders of this Jinyi guard are still Wang Guoxing and Li Ruolian, and Wang Chengen will convey it to them in time if there is a will.
For the time being, they were sent to the side temple to be served.
Wang Chengen led them to the side hall, and a brocade guard came out of the main hall with an embroidered spring knife.
When they arrived in front of Wang Chengen, they knelt down.
"Wang Baihu?" Wang Chengen, Wang Guoxing, Li Ruolian, Wang Wencai, etc. almost spoke in unison, and they were shocked.
The person who came was Wang Shoulin.
At this time, he couldn't see that there was any injury, how much effort did he have, at most half a stick of incense, such a serious injury, this is healed?
"The villain thanks the prince for saving his life."
"You don't have to thank the miscellaneous family, the whole battle is Your Majesty's magic medicine, repay Your Majesty well, the Holy Lord of the Ages, omnipotent." Wang Chengen sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"The villain thanks the emperor for his grace...... Where there is a villain, the villain will never give up. Wang Shoulin kowtowed, and his oath came from the bottom of his heart.
Wang Shoulin is a righteous person, he does not forget to repay his kindness, and the grace of saving his life is recreated, not to mention that the emperor saved him, the emperor's grace is so vast, can he not work hard for such a court?
At this time, Wang Guoxing, Li Ruolian and others were also happy for Wang Shoulin, and couldn't help but sigh, the emperor is really a god, and this medicine is really a god.
Can it not be God? It was originally a fairy prescription, not to mention dying, even if it was dead, it was estimated that it could be cured.
"Your Majesty, Wang Jiayan, the right attendant of the military department, will take the soldiers to wait outside the palace gate." At this time, another little eunuch knelt down in front of Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen's second will worked, and he was relieved when he heard the report.
"Spread my will, the palace door is wide open, and all of them are announced...... Emperor Chongzhen instantly restrained his smile and said, "Slow, let's go out to greet me." ”
For Emperor Chongzhen, at this time, one more team of people will have more strength and one more strategy.
A hanged king who walked down from the old locust tree, mixed up now, and another group of followers, of course he is happy to do it.
And this person who came is not simple, he is one of the pillars of the late Ming Dynasty.
The right attendant of the military department is a court member from the second grade, and he often visits the king to worship, but despite this, when the emperor personally greeted him, Wang Jiayan also felt honored.
Quickly dismounted and knelt on the ground, "The guilty minister knocks on the emperor." ”
"Qing is ordered to be the king of Qin, what is the crime?" Chongzhen motioned for him to get up.
But Wang Jiayan didn't dare to get up, "Your Majesty, Andingmen has fallen into the hands of thieves at this time, and Weichen can't escape the blame, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”
Although Wang Jiayan is a civil official, but the iron bones are strong, the rewards and punishments are clear, just at the beginning of his tenure, he carried a lantern to patrol the city, the first day of ironclad evidence pointed out, Zhang San in the post Li Si missed the post, according to this reward and punishment, his soldiers and generals all admired.
He will never be accommodating to himself, he is willing to take the blame for losing the city defense, unlike other officials, who make excuses and find someone to scapego, this is a person who dares to take responsibility.
Emperor Chongzhen had heard of him a long time ago, otherwise, so many civil and military officials would not have let Wang Chengen pass on his edict.
"It's just a city gate, if you lose it, you can lose it, I have already made a plan, let's be even." Emperor Chongzhen said and pulled Wang Jiayan up.
Seeing that the emperor was breezy and calm, Wang Jiayan was grateful, but also felt a lot more relaxed. First, the emperor did not blame him for losing his position, and more importantly, the emperor said very clearly, everything is under control, then this is easy to do.
Wang Jiayan got up.
And the hundreds of soldiers behind him all knelt down, including infantry, cavalry, dismounting, shaking their clothes and helmets, brushing and brushing their armor and making a straight sound, and there were cotton armor soldiers, iron armor soldiers, and leather armor soldiers, each holding a sword and a spear, dazzling people's eyes.
Of course, these four or five hundred generals are all followers of Wang Jiayan and iron fans of the Ming court.
Wang Jiayan originally led 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Andingmen, but now there is not one of the ten who came over, and there are only these four or five hundred people.
