At this time, he was in the Yilun Hall of the Imperial College.
"Gao Banban, are you okay?"
Chongzhen rarely showed concern for Gao Qiqian.
"Long live my Lord, nothing's wrong with me." Gao Qiqian suddenly felt so grateful that he wanted to cry, "It's just chest pain."
Fu Shan, who was standing next to him, said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Gao is not seriously injured. The crossbow used by the assassin was quite powerful, but Eunuch Gao was wearing chainmail and had a wooden board on his chest, so he was only injured.
"
"As long as nothing happens." Chongzhen smiled and said to Gao Qiqian, "Gao Banban, nothing will happen to you. I will have to point at you to block my arrows from now on."
"It is my blessing to be able to block Long Live Lord's arrows."
Gao Qiqian's face smiled like a flower, and he was already yelling in his heart, "Chongzhen, you are not a human being. I, Gao Qiqian, have been unlucky for eight lifetimes to be your slave."
"Gao Banban, are you scolding me?" Chongzhen's face fell.
"Ah, I don't have it, I don't dare. I am wronged." Gao Qi's hidden soul was frightened out, and he hurriedly recited in his heart that Long Live Lord is a rare wise king, sage, and benevolent king in ancient and modern times. I am the one who can be a slave to Long Live Lord.
The blessing of rising high and diving low.
"That's just right." Chongzhen turned from anger to joy, and immediately turned to look at the dark sky outside Yilun Hall, as if he could see Li Ruolian's mansion under Fuzhou Mountain. He should have come to the door, right?
…
"Luo Yangzhi? Is it you? It turns out you were the one who assassinated Jia!"
Staring at Luo Yangzhi, Li Ruolian's eyes almost burst into flames.
Before coming to see Li Ruolian, Luo Yangzhi was actually a little worried.
But seeing Li Ruolian's reaction, Luo Yangzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason is very simple. If Li Ruolian really wanted to arrest him, he would never react like this.
"Commander Li, why are you looking at me like that?" Luo Yangzhi said with a smile, "Anyway, you and I have been colleagues for a while, so we should have some inkling."
"Bah." Li Ruolian said with a dark face, "As long as you still remember the incense of your old colleagues, you wouldn't do such a treasonous thing as assassinating the driver. Luo Yangzhi, you have done us terrible harm!"
Speaking of this meal, he added: "Hundreds of brothers have lost their jobs because of you!"
"Commander Li, you really entered the wrong temple and burned the wrong incense." Luo Yangzhi said, "The one who tailors the brocade clothes and guards is Chongzhen, the dog emperor. He is also the one who caused you to lose your jobs and made you endure eighty court battles.
It’s also Chongzhen, not me!”
"It's full of nonsense." Li Ruolian said angrily, "If it weren't for you, how could the Holy One abolish the Jinyi Guards?"
"Li Ruolian, Li Ruolian, you are such a stupid person." Luo Yangzhi said, "Can't you see it now? Chongzhen has actually disliked our Jin Yiwei for a long time. Since this dog emperor came to the throne, the number of spies of our Jin Yiwei has increased.
It was cut again and again, and the cost was reduced again and again. By the 17th year of Chongzhen, the brothers could hardly even eat, so you still insist that it was because of the assassination that the Jinyiwei was laid off? "
Li Ruolian immediately fell silent, seemingly convinced.
"You have nothing to say?" Luo Yangzhi snorted, "Li Ruolian, it's time for you to think about yourself. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the brothers who follow you, right?"
"What do you want to do?" Li Ruolian turned over and tried to sit up.
As a result, he accidentally touched the wound on his buttocks, and he groaned in pain.
"Don't be excited. Why are you so excited?" Luo Yangzhi waved his hand and said, "At this time, do you still want to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and to a dog emperor like Chongzhen?"
Li Ruolian said: "The dynasty has supported scholars for three hundred years and has never been sorry to us."
"That's nonsense." Luo Yangzhi said with a dark face, "Jiashen was in national calamity and bandits broke into the capital. Emperor Chongzhen just slapped his ass and ran away, but he left all the people in the city and the civil and military forces of the dynasty to the bandits. He can't
Has he ever cared about our life and death? Do you know how many people have died at the hands of bandits? Do you dare to say that he has not sorry for us?"
After a moment of silence, Li Ruolian asked: "Are my wife and children okay?"
"Everything is fine." Luo Yangzhi said, "The emperor's father and regent Dorgon is an unprecedented benevolent monarch. Although he is a barbarian who has conquered the Central Plains, his actions are many times better than Chongzhen, a Han man. He has entered the capital since then.
, our Qing soldiers did not harm the people of the capital or the families of the old Ming officials, and my wife, nephews and nieces are all fine."
"It's okay." Li Ruolian shed tears as she said this, feeling really happy now.
Luo Yangzhi added: "Chongzhen, this dog emperor, is not even worthy of carrying the emperor's father and regent's shoes. It is inevitable that the Qing Dynasty will replace the Ming Dynasty. Brother, you should think about it for yourself, your wife, and your nephews and nieces."
Li Ruolian sighed: "I might have believed you if you said this last year, but I won't believe it now."
After a short pause, Li Ruolian said again: "Brother Luo, will you forget about the Battle of Xuzhou so quickly?"
"Okay, I admit that Chongzhen, the dog emperor, is quite good at using troops." Luo Yangzhi nodded and said, "But brother should also be able to see that the Ming Dynasty is supported by Chongzhen alone. If Chongzhen dies, the Ming Dynasty will immediately fall apart.
, fell back into the quagmire of party strife, so that the Qing Dynasty would no longer have any obstacles to its unification of the world."
"Still want to assassinate him?" Li Ruolian shook his head and said, "I advise you to give up on this idea. You have no chance."
"It all depends on people." Luo Yangzhi said in a deep voice, "I don't believe that Chongzhen has really achieved the body of a saint. As long as you can help me with all your strength, brother, I will definitely be able to kill this dog emperor."
"Can't be killed." Li Ruolian sighed.
"Because you don't even know where Chongzhen lives."
"You don't even know if what you saw is Chongzhen's true form?"
Speaking of this meal, Li Ruolian said again: "Chongzhen's cunning is far beyond your imagination."
"What do you mean?" Luo Yangzhi asked, "Could it be that the man sitting in the carriage yesterday evening was not Chongzhen?"
"What Chongzhen? That's Gao Qiqian!" Li Ruolian exclaimed, "The real Chongzhen was wearing mountain armor at that time, and Qiao was dressed as a Yiding and followed beside the carriage."

"So, I advise you not to bother." Li Ruolian said, "Unless you can find a way to bribe Prince Qin, you are not sure whether what you see is really Chongzhen, so how can you assassinate him?"
"Buy Prince Qin?" Luo Yangzhi's face immediately fell.
He only brought a few hundred taels of silver, so what could he use to bribe Prince Qin?
Li Ruolian sighed and said: "We can't stay in Nanjing any longer. If Brother Luo misses our old friendship, please introduce him to us so that we can go back to Beijing to beg for food and reunite with our wife and children."
"That's no problem." Luo Yangzhi patted his chest and said, "I'll take care of it, little brother."
…
A few days later at Prince Rui's Mansion in Beijing.
Tang Ruowang was showing Dorgon a flintlock gun he had just supervised.
"Tang Qing, is this what you call a flintlock gun that is not afraid of rain and fog?" Dorgon looked at the flintlock gun carefully, "It doesn't look much different from the Lumi Gun."
Tang Ruowang said: "Please take another Lumi gun for comparison."
Dorgon immediately ordered Cao Eryu to bring a Lumi gun and gave the flintlock gun to Hou Fangyu.
Tang Ruowang also told Hou Fangyu the loading and firing procedures of the flintlock gun. Hou Fangyu quickly remembered the key and tried to fire a gun, which fired smoothly.
Next, the two slaves competed in front of Dorgon.
The result of the competition was that Hou Fangyu's shooting speed was indeed slightly faster, but not as fast as Tang Ruowang said, with a maximum of two shots per minute.
But Cao Eryu could only fire one shot.
Tang Ruowang said: "The more skilled you are, the faster you can play."
"Very good." Dorgon nodded and added, "You said you are not afraid of rain and fog?"
Tang Ruowang asked Hou Fangyu and Cao Eryu to load the ammunition first, and then asked someone to pour water on them. After the water was poured on them, he asked Hou Fangyu and Cao Eryu to fight. In the end, only Hou Fangyu fought.
Seeing this, Dorgon finally became interested and said happily: "Are you really not afraid of rain and fog?"
Tang Ruowang pointed to the flint firing mechanism and said: "Royal Father and Regent, please look at this. The flintlock does not rely on a match rope, but relies on the impact of the flint and the anvil. Moreover, the primer chamber is also sealed before firing. Only when the anvil is fired.
The medicine chamber was exposed only after it was struck by flint and turned upwards, so rain and fog could not wet the gunpowder inside."
"Excellent." Dorgon said with great joy, "Immediately have someone make ten thousand, no, thirty thousand, according to this!"
While they were talking, another Bao Yi came in and reported: "Master, the Crown Prince and Grand Master, the Left Commander and the Governor of Tianjin and other military affairs departments, Luo Yangxing, requests an audience."
Luo Yangxing's official title looks very deceptive, but it is actually useless because he is a Han official.
After Dorgon took over Beijing, many Ming Dynasty officials who surrendered were reinstated. They still held whatever official positions they had in the Ming Dynasty, but they did not have any real power. The real power was in the hands of Manchu officials.
"Luo Yangxing?" Dorgon frowned and said, "If he is not in Tianjin, what will he do when he comes back?"
Bao Yi said: "It is said that there is news from Nanjing, but I don't know exactly what it is."
"Nanjing?" Dorgon then remembered that he had asked Luo Yangxing to send people to Nanjing to assassinate Chongzhen. He nodded and said, "Then let him come in."
"Hey." Bao Yi took the order and left.
After a moment, Luo Yangxing walked in quickly, came to Dorgon, flicked his sleeves, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Luo Yangxing, comes to see the emperor and the regent."
"Get up." Dorgon solemnly said, "What's the matter?"
Luo Yangxing said: "A few months ago, I sent a team of assassins to sneak into Nanjing to assassinate Chongzhen. Unfortunately, they failed. However, the trip was not without success. At least they instigated the rebellion of one of Chongzhen's cronies. This person knew many secrets of Nanming."
"Oh, really?" Dorgon became interested, "Where is this person?"
