Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 9 Luo Yangxing: I just knew that I wanted to join the enemy emperor?
After gesturing to Li Banghua, Ni Yuanlu and others to get up, Chongzhen remembered what Hao Guangming said about the breach of the Guangning gatekeeper tonight, resulting in the capture of the outer city, and asked, "Who is the current Guangning gatekeeper?"

All the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but no one could answer.

Chongzhen was dissatisfied at first, and then he realized that none of these people was in charge of the defense of the capital, so it was understandable not to know who the guard of a certain outer city gate was.

He simply said directly: "I have received news that the intruder intends to break through through Guangning Gate tonight, or someone is acting as an internal response, so Guangning Gate must strengthen its defenses.

Shi Bangyao, I will now give you the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, responsible for defending Guangning Gate and related city walls, Cheng De, Jin Xuan, you two are responsible for assisting Shi Aiqing. "

Chongzhen did this because all three of them had experience in military affairs, and they could barely be considered soldiers. The most important thing was that Hao Guangming said that they were martyrs, loyal and reliable.

The three of Shi Bangyao didn't talk so much, they directly received the order.

Then Shi Bangyao said: "It's not too late. If Your Majesty has no other orders, I will go to Guangning Gate after this."

Chongzhen also hoped to get rid of the hidden dangers of Guangning Gate, so he immediately waved and said, "Go."

···
The outer city of the capital.

Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi Yamen.

Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jin Yiwei, is sitting in the hall.

Now that thieves are besieging the city, it stands to reason that Jin Yiwei not only has the task of spying on the enemy, but also has the responsibility of monitoring the civil and military officials in the city. Luo Yangxing should be very busy.

But in fact, he is very free at this time.

Jin Yiwei has long since lost the former responsibility. Since Luo Yangxing took over, he has done a good job of supervising officials.

However, Jin Yiwei, as the emperor's minion, can only show his power where the imperial power reaches.

Now that Emperor Chongzhen's order does not even leave the capital, the Jinyiwei controlled by Luo Yangxing is naturally confined to the capital.

At this moment, he seemed to be calmly flipping through the few official documents on the table, but actually he was worried, entangled, and tortured in his heart.

As the commander of Jin Yiwei, Luo Yangxing knew more about the situation inside and outside the city than ordinary subjects, even more than Chongzhen, so he knew very well that the capital might not be able to defend the capital for a few days in the face of the siege of intruders.

Li Zicheng besieged the capital this time, claiming to lead millions of troops.

Even if the water is removed, there are still hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers who can fight.

As for the capital, the main forces are the five army battalions, the three thousand battalions, and the Shenji battalion. In theory, there are more than 40 registered soldiers.

But the corruption of the Beijing camp is well known to everyone, even after many rectifications, the actual number of soldiers will not exceed [-].

In the first lunar month, intruders invaded Shanxi. Li Jiantai, the cabinet minister, was worried about the safety of his hometown, so he asked Zhan to be the supervisor and went out of the city to recruit troops to meet the intruders.

Li Jiantai took tens of thousands of soldiers with him when he left Beijing. Due to various reasons, he waited for more than two months. When he saw the intruders in Baoding, there were only hundreds of remnants around him, so he simply voted for Li Zicheng.

It is tantamount to losing tens of thousands of troops in the Beijing camp for no reason.

In addition, it has been several months since the plague hit the capital, and the Beijing camp has been seriously reduced due to illness. Now there are probably less than [-] soldiers capable of fighting, and they are all weak soldiers.

The outer city of the capital has nine gates, and the city wall is so long that even [-] soldiers may not be able to fill the city wall.

It was the emperor who sent some of the pro-army to guard the imperial city, plus the cannons on the city, to temporarily hold the outer city.

But this also means that if the outer city is breached, the inner city, the imperial city, and the imperial palace (the Forbidden City) will not be able to defend.

Luo Yangxing felt that under such circumstances, it would be impossible for Chongzhen to break out of the encirclement, let alone defend the city.

So he thought about whether he had made a plan early to join Li Chuang.

He doesn't ask to keep his current power and wealth, as long as he doesn't lose his life.

However, his family can be regarded as being favored by the emperor, and he was even promoted to the high position of the commander of Jinyiwei by Chongzhen, which is extremely favored.

To surrender to Li Chuang, it was really difficult for him to pass.

But let him accompany Chongzhen to die for the country, he also absolutely does not want to.

When Luo Yangxing was struggling with how to choose, there was movement outside, and a group of people quickly rushed to the lobby of the yamen, led by the frosty-haired Li Ruolian.

As the acquaintance of the commander of Nanzhen Fusi, Li Ruolian is theoretically also Luo Yangxing's subordinate.

But in fact, the relationship between the two is not good.

Luo Yangxing got up and shouted: "Li Ruolian, you are so bold, how dare you lead someone into Beizhen Fusi Yamen?!"

Li Ruolian's old face was cold, and he directly showed Chongzhen's handwritten order, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has an order, Luo Yangxing has illicit trespassers, intending to join the enemy, and now arrest him and ransack his home!"

Luo Yangxing was dumbfounded.

He just thought about it in his heart, and he didn't mention it to his confidantes, at most he just hinted that Chongzhen knew about it?
Could it be that one of his subordinates betrayed him and sued Chongzhen for his tricks?
"What are you doing in a daze, take it down!"

Li Ruolian yelled loudly, and the Jinyi guards who came with him immediately rushed up and captured Luo Yangxing.

As for Luo Yangxing's confidantes, Gao Wencai led people to block them out.

After being arrested, Luo Yangxing yelled belatedly: "I'm wronged! I didn't have an affair with a thief! I want to see Your Majesty!"

Li Ruolian didn't listen to him at all, and said to a hundred households: "Take him to Fusi Prison in Nanzhen, and put him under custody. The rest of them will follow me to the Luo Mansion to raid the house!"

"Yes!"

A group of Jin Yiwei from Nanzhen Fusi suddenly took the order, all of them looked excited - ransacking the house was a lucrative job.

···
Imperial prison.

Wang Zhixin, who was the palm print eunuch, was also feeling uneasy at this time.

Although he is greedy, he also knows the truth that there will be no eggs under the nest.

But what he was thinking about was not whether to surrender to Li Zicheng, but how to please Li Zicheng after surrendering, keep his wealth and status, and even go one step further to become the most powerful eunuch in the new dynasty.

"If Li breaks through the capital and becomes the new emperor, Wang Dehua is the biggest threat to me among these eunuchs. It would be great if I could get rid of him before breaking the city."

As for Wang Chengen, Fang Zhenghua and the others, they are nothing to worry about. '

Just as Wang Zhixin was enjoying the massage from the maid beside him while making plans for the future, the door of the room was violently pushed open, and then several soldiers in brocade clothes rushed in and lifted Wang Zhixin from the chair like catching chickens. stand up.

Wang Zhixin was stupefied at first, then when he came back to his senses, he screamed, "You guys are so bold! How dare you offend our family like this?!"

"Wang Zhixin, something happened to you, Long Live has ordered you to be captured, and you are still showing your prestige here?"

As a familiar voice came, a familiar person also walked into the room.

It was Wang Chengen.

Wang Zhixin was startled at first, then turned pale and dripped with cold sweat.

He didn't cry out for injustice, not because he didn't feel wronged, but also because he knew that as the emperor's servant, how to deal with him was a matter of the emperor's words.

Now that the emperor has decreed to arrest him, it is useless to say anything.

Wang Chengen signaled the people who followed behind to search the house, while he sat on Wang Zhixin's chair, looked at Wang Zhixin and said, "Long live, you are short of money now. I heard that you have been greedy, and immediately became angry. If you want to survive, you must die." Honestly hand over all the money you got from greed, if there is enough money, maybe Long Live can spare your life."

Wang Zhixin's protruding eyeballs rolled, and he regained his ability to think. He immediately realized that Chongzhen was really short of money, and he didn't know where he was rich, so he directly issued an order to kill him. .

He knew that it was useless to say anything now, and he only hoped that, as Wang Chengen said, Chongzhen would spare his life for the sake of money and past affection.

So he swallowed his saliva, and tremblingly said: "Hand it up, I'll pay it all..."
