() On the afternoon of the third day of the three-day period limited by Emperor Chongzhen, Cao Huachun felt that it was almost done, so he stopped, brought the list of assassins' comrades drawn up by his subordinates, and reported directly to Emperor Chongzhen.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw that it was Cao Huachun who was coming, he knew that it was about the assassins. Of course he was very concerned about it, so he stopped what he was doing and asked Wang Chengen to take it over and take a look.
As soon as I saw it, I was shocked. How could there be so many assassin comrades and angry people? I wouldn't know if I didn't investigate. After I investigated, I found out that I was living in such a dangerous environment. This is amazing.
He slapped the roster on the imperial table and said to Cao Huachun, "Is the investigation true?"
Cao Huachun was startled by Emperor Chongzhen. However, he was also a man who had gone through great storms. On the surface, he did not have any fluctuations. He bowed and said: "I started to investigate people close to the assassin Wang Hengwu. After the people I investigated confessed, I followed the clues."
of."
They were all old gangsters. He didn't answer directly and affirmatively. What he said seemed to answer Emperor Chongzhen's question, but anyway, he didn't say anything to death. He always kept it a secret.
Emperor Chongzhen was very angry, and the consequences were very serious. He stood up, took the roster, and was about to throw it at Cao Huachun. He said: "You are so daring, call all the servants and maids, and kill them with sticks in front of everyone, as a warning to others."
Cao Huachun bowed and said: "No."
After a while, Emperor Chongzhen still didn't drop the list. I couldn't help but feel a little confused. I looked up at Emperor Chongzhen. I saw Emperor Chongzhen browsing the assassin list again. I couldn't help but feel nervous: there would be no mistake.
It turned out that when Emperor Chongzhen was about to throw away the roster in his hand, his eyes suddenly saw a familiar name, a name familiar to these geniuses - Archie.
Emperor Chongzhen sat down slowly, then raised his head and asked, "Have all the people on this list been verified correctly?"
As soon as Cao Huachun heard Emperor Chongzhen's attitude and question, he knew that something might be wrong. So he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I have just taken charge of the East Factory. When the young men drafted this roster for me, I
I confirmed it and said it is true."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard what Cao Huachun said, I bet you also heard what his subordinates said. He was not sure. So he said: "The Archi on this list was given to Zhong Jinwei by me. Zhong Jinwei rescued him and he fell into a coma. I ordered Ah Qi to
Qi took care of him, and it was she who screamed first to remind Zhong Jinwei that he could not be an assassin."
At this time, Wang Chengen next to him also had his thoughts moved, and several of his cronies were also arrested, but when it came to assassinating His Majesty, even though he knew they were innocent, he did not dare to plead for mercy. It would be a waste not to use such a good opportunity now.
.So he pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah, how could Archie be an accomplice of the assassin? The servant also looked panicked when he saw her. He couldn't protect her, so he gave a warning first."
It's nonsense. Wang Chengen didn't have any idea at that time. Archie next to him still looked panicked. He really didn't need to make a draft when he lied, and his face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw that one of the parties involved, Wang Chengen, was also in line with his judgment, he said, "Let Aqi come to see you. I want to ask myself."
Cao Huachun secretly cursed Wang Chengen and prepared to take the order.
Emperor Chongzhen suddenly thought that there was something fishy inside, so he ordered again: "Cao Ban is tired, just take a rest and let Wang Daban go."
Cao Huachun was speechless, without even a chance to make amends.
Over there, Wang Chengen was secretly happy and quickly took the order.
After a while, Wang Chengen brought Archie in.
Archie was not mistreated in Dongchang because she was not the focus of care. She was just frightened and looked haggard.
As soon as he came in, Archi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, please save the young master quickly, save the young master quickly, he will not have anyone to take care of him for the whole day."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was shocked and said quickly: "Send the message to the imperial doctor quickly." Wang Chengen was also anxious and hurriedly walked to the door to arrange for people to find the imperial doctor.
Cao Huachun wondered on the side: This Zhong Jinwei is so important in His Majesty's heart, why haven't he heard of it before? In fact, the blame is that he just went out for business a few days ago. When Emperor Chongzhen was assassinated, he had just come back and had not had time to listen to the gossip.
.
After Emperor Chongzhen finished his instructions, he asked Archi: "Your name is on the list of assassins submitted to me by Dongchang. Is this true?"
Who would be stupid enough to admit it? Besides, Archie is certainly not one.
Archi originally came to see Emperor Chongzhen send the imperial doctor to take care of Zhong Jinwei, and felt relieved. Now when Emperor Chongzhen asked, he hurriedly fell to the ground and replied: "I'm unjust, I was taking care of the young master that day, and two fans came in.
It is a misunderstanding to say that I am an associate of the assassins and I have money. I have no choice but to give them all the money. Unexpectedly, they thought that my silver was too little, so I was captured as an associate. Your Majesty, this slave is really unjust. I hope Your Majesty will make the decision."
After Wang Chengen arranged the matter, he heard Archie's complaint and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his face darkened and he looked at Cao Huachun.
Cao Huachun had no instructions to exploit Archi's money in the first place. A small person like Archi was not in his eyes at all. Affection and knowledge were a job done privately by his subordinates.
Now seeing Emperor Chongzhen looking at him with a gloomy face, he knew in his heart that Emperor Chongzhen believed Aqi's words, so he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I will go check it out immediately."
Emperor Chongzhen was very unhappy. He knew that nine out of ten of what Archie said was true, and he took the opportunity to make a fortune when it involved my safety. I am afraid that this list is too watery. I am so disappointed.
Emperor Chongzhen thought for a moment, and then said: "Cao Banban, you are an old man in my dormitory. I think you have always been loyal, so I put you in charge of the East Factory. But important matters involving my safety are so perfunctory by my subordinates.
After all the trouble, you still took the opportunity to make money. I think you are not suitable to be in charge of the East Factory. You should work peacefully in the Supervisor of Ceremonies first."
Cao Huachun was very sad. He was about to step down from the post of Admiral of Dongchang before he could take his seat. He was helpless and could not object, so he could only say: "This slave deserves to die. He failed to complete the errand assigned by His Majesty."
After Zhong Jinwei’s account and a series of recent events, Wang Chengen became very important in Emperor Chongzhen’s heart. Now that Cao Huachun didn’t do well, he would give this opportunity to him. Emperor Chongzhen thought of this and said to Wang Chengen: “Wang
Daban, you will be in charge of the East Factory from now on."
When Wang Chengen heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to thank him.
Emperor Chongzhen continued to Wang Chengen: "Please give me a detailed review of the people on this list to see who was wronged. In addition, the people in Dongchang should also clean up and let them remember the things enshrined in Dongchang."
who is it!"
Wang Chengen quickly said: "No."
After handling these matters, Emperor Chongzhen was concerned about Zhong Jinwei, so he hurriedly went to visit Zhong Jinwei in person.
When Royal Physician Huang arrived at the side hall where Zhong Jinwei lived, Zhong Jinwei had been on a liquid diet and was very poisoned and weak. Now that he had been hungry for another day, he was already taking in less air and exhaling more.
Doctor Huang was so frightened that he hurriedly gave him water, liquid food, ginseng, acupuncture, and all kinds of first aid methods. After working for a while, Zhong Jinwei's pulse, although still very weak, had stabilized.
As soon as I put my heart down, I heard the emperor approaching and quickly knelt down to greet him.
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen came in, he hurriedly asked: "Huang Qing, how is Mr. Zhong's condition?"
Huang Imperial Physician knelt down and replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, if I were a few quarters of an hour late, I wouldn't be able to do anything. Now the situation has stabilized, but after all these twists and turns, I really don't know when he will wake up." Huang Imperial Physician.
Knowing that Emperor Chongzhen was concerned about when Zhong Jinwei would wake up, he quickly spoke up.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard that Zhong Jinwei had been brought back from the gate of hell, he felt relieved. It was really dangerous. However, it has been several days and he still hasn't woken up. It is a troublesome thing. I still have many things to consult with Mr. Zhong.
Thanks to Archie for being a loyal protector. When he saw me, he begged me to save Mr. Zhong first. Otherwise, if he delayed it, it would really be a waste. So he said to Archie who came with him: "Thanks to your timely reminder, Mr. Zhong can
I want to reward you for turning danger into safety, what do you want?"
Archi hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I have rescued the young master. I am very happy. I don't ask for rewards. I just ask to continue to take care of the young master." I don't know when, Archi's heart has reached Zhong Jinwei. Or perhaps
It was the night talk that night, an experience she had never experienced before, that made her feel a sense of warmth when she was alone in the palace.
Emperor Chongzhen nodded appreciatively, and was very satisfied with Archie's reply, and said: "Then take good care of Mr. Zhong. I will write down your reward first, and you can mention it to me if you need it in the future."
After thinking for a while, he turned around and said to Wang Chengen: "After finding out that it was the two killers who came to catch Archi, kill him with a stick first."
Wang Chengen didn't mind dealing with those two people at all, he bowed and said: "No."
In August of the second year of Chongzhen, the Hou Jin Dynasty completed its assembly and divided into two groups from Dazhenbao, one from Gaoqiaopu in Xingshan and the other from Songshan to Jinzhou.
Zu Dashou, who was stationed in Jinzhou, had been reminded by Yuan Chonghuan and was prepared. He added a defensive artifact - the Hongyi cannon, and stored more grain and grass. He did not harvest it at night, and Houjin's sneak attack failed.
Regarding the Hongyi artillery, Hou Jin had already learned the lesson and did not dare to attack by force. He left one unit to watch over Jinzhou, while the other troops spread out and carried out robbing, killing and burning them all.
This place has already been the front line, so there is basically nothing to grab and burn, except for some wheat near Jinzhou City, which is cheaper.
After Hou Jin helped the Ming Dynasty to harvest wheat, he saw that there was no other advantage, so he withdrew from Shuangtai Fort. When passing by the Xiaoling River, he also demolished the Youdian Acropolis. After finishing his work, he went home to harvest himself.
The grain in the fields has gone.
As usual, a victory.
After Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was really happy and disappointed. What he was happy about was that the Jianlu people did not attack in a detour as Zhong Jinwei said. This shows that other things Zhong Jinwei said, such as the subjugation of the country after more than ten years, may not be true; he was disappointed.
Because Jianlu did not take a detour to attack, his idea of a decisive battle with Jianlu in Zunhua could not be realized.
When the news reached Zunhua, Governor Wang Yuanya heard that the emperor had guessed it wrong, so he quickly sent someone to inform several generals that the landlord's family had no surplus food and would no longer supply it. The previous agreement could only be suspended.
It doesn't matter if you stop. Anyway, the salary, food and food will not be paid. Whether you want to practice or not is up to you.
