Chapter 112: The Emperor's Mind Technique
Nanjing, the back garden of the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen, who was rarely idle, suddenly came to be interested and wanted to take Wang Chaodong, his current henchman, the head of the Jinyi guard, to enjoy the flowers.
After all, the Ming Dynasty won a great victory on the south bank of the Huai River, annihilating 50,000 Qing troops, since Chongzhen ascended the throne, this is the first time, the Ming Dynasty has become the consensus of the government and the opposition.
Well, it is rumored that the Qing army annihilated by Zhou Shixian has approached 100,000, and when Chongzhen heard the ministers' report, it was still 50,000. And what Zhou Shixian advertised at the beginning was 30,000, in fact...... It's less than 10,000.
The Ming Dynasty's concubine is so strong and powerful, how can His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty be a strong outsider? It was really a traitor who misled the country before!
Emperor Chongzhen listened to the public opinion reported by Jinyiwei, and was very happy in his heart, it seems that the previous loss of the city and land, repeated defeats, is really not his own problem, it is all caused by Yongchen.
It's just that the Ming Dynasty's concubine is so powerful and powerful, which makes Emperor Chongzhen feel a little jealous in his heart, and even the suspicion that has been pent up in his heart broke out again.
"Facing east, the horse is on the front line, the sword has no eyes, and the danger is everywhere, and I am always at ease in my heart." Emperor Chongzhen's face was worried, and he looked very worried about Zhou Shixian's safety.
"You say, there is no reliable person close to this colt, and if I want to know the situation at the front, there is no one who knows the news in time...... Eh......"
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to share your Majesty's worries."
Wang Chaodong naturally understood Emperor Chongzhen's hint, he has been a Jinyi guard for so many years, how can he be an honest person, and the little Jiujiu in Emperor Chongzhen's heart, where can it not be clear?
Moreover, Wang Chaodong also has his own careful thoughts, rather than staying in Nanjing to continue to monitor Chongzhen and the ministers, Wang Chaodong wants to go to Fengyang, staying away from Zhou Shixian for too long makes him a little uneasy, and he is even more worried about his declining status in the Horse Group.
In particular, now Zhou Shixian's new army has once again proved its strength, and the Horse Group is in full swing.
"Hmm." Chongzhen listened to it, nodded with satisfaction, and was even more proud in his heart, this henchman of his, is still very effective in doing things.
"Chaodong, you go and prepare, it's best to leave in these two days, I really miss the colt too much. I can rely on you, up and down the government and the opposition, only you. ”
Emperor Chongzhen's anxious nature still can't be changed, once he determines what he wants to do, he can't wait to finish it immediately, and he can't wait for a moment.
When Wang Chaodong heard this, he hurriedly agreed, Emperor Chongzhen had already said it so obviously, and he didn't have to pretend to be stupid, otherwise he would treat the other party as a fool.
"The minister is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty, and he will never give up."
Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, and then asked about the monitoring of Jinyiwei, since he used Wang Chaodong, Chongzhen has enjoyed the pleasure of this Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs under his monitoring and control.
Of course, many times, the pleasure is only because Wang Chaodong has done quite a lot of polishing, especially Zhou Shixian's actions, it is with Wang Chaodong's cooperation that Emperor Chongzhen has not been suspicious.
"I still think that I should send a prison army to assist the horses, Shixian is still young after all, if he is arrogant because of a small victory, and then falls into the trap of the Tartars, it will not be good." Emperor Chongzhen went around in a circle, and finally returned to Zhou Shixian's body.
Don't say it's Wang Chaodong, it's Wang Chengen on the side, he can't help frowning at this time, His Majesty the Emperor, it seems that he is going to start meddling in the military on the front line again.
Although Wang Chengen is Emperor Chongzhen's person, Zhou Shixian does not dare to buy it, but he knows his master very well. For the other party's ability, I don't dare to compliment it in my heart.
Now that I heard Chongzhen say these words, I don't know what's going on, but I'm a little worried about Zhou Shixian in my heart. He didn't understand these political struggles, he only knew that the emperor was supreme, so he felt that as long as Chongzhen made a move, Zhou Shixian could only be obedient.
"Your Majesty is really far-sighted and far-sighted."
Wang Chaodong took a picture of the sycophants directly, he naturally wanted to show his attitude of supporting Emperor Chongzhen, otherwise with Chongzhen's suspicious character, he would inevitably doubt his sincerity: "If you send a supervising army, you have to send a minister who knows the army, but it is only a ...... in the court."
Looking at Wang Chaodong's puzzled look, the vanity in Emperor Chongzhen's heart was even more satisfied, he smiled, and said: "Send Shi Kefa to go, Shi Kefa is the secretary of the military department, he is the most suitable to coordinate all parties and assist the horses." ”
When Wang Chaodong heard this, he immediately pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and then he was a sycophant: "Your Majesty is wise, Shi Kefa is the most upright and selfless, experienced and decent, and proficient in military affairs, it is most suitable for him to supervise the army." ”
Chongzhen saw that Wang Chaodong agreed with his decision so much, and was even more satisfied with this henchman, he nodded, and at the same time instructed: "Chaodong, you should also pay more attention when you arrive, if the horse is willful, Shi Kefa can't stop it, you have to help Shi Kefa more, the horse is now the pillar of the whole country, and Shi Kefa alone is probably still difficult to parry." ”
When Wang Chaodong heard this, he immediately gave up his fists and responded again, but he had already made a decision in his heart - Shi Kefa is just a righteous gentleman and a sour scholar, but the level of doing things is not high, and it is a matter of the Ministry of War, and Ni Yuanlu has to help deal with it, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with it, let him go to supervise the army, it is just an ornament.
After all, Wang Chaodong felt that he could deal with this military department scholar and Dongge scholar, and it would be even easier for the horse master, and then it would be interesting to see how Shi Kefa was boring.
It can only be said that Emperor Chongzhen has been the emperor for so many years, and he almost became the king of the dead, but the employment of people is still extremely mediocre.
Just when Chongzhen and Wang Chaodong continued to chat about the ministers of the court, suddenly a eunuch hurriedly walked into the back garden and handed over an urgent report to Wang Chengen, and Wang Chengen did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately presented the urgent report to Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen was calm, he calmly opened the urgent report, looked at it slowly, his expression did not change in the slightest, and after reading it, he handed it to Wang Chaodong.
However, before Wang Chaodong finished reading it, he immediately ordered: "Spread my will, eight hundred miles urgently, Xuan Zheng Zhilong will set off immediately, and I will see him in person." ”
After Wang Chaodong read the emergency report, he also understood Emperor Chongzhen's intentions. He didn't think there was anything in his heart, but the chief Duoduo was indeed scheming, and he didn't know what kind of medicine it was for sale in this gourd.
