Borrow the day to change the day

() The old waiter saw that he had stabbed the wrong person, and was taken aback for a moment. At this moment, stimulated by his survival instinct, Zhong Jinwei punched the old waiter in the face with his left hand, and the whole body of Zhong Jinwei He punched hard, but it was terrible. Immediately, the old guard's nose collapsed, his face was like a blocked sewer, and blood continued to flow from the nostrils and corners of his mouth; at the same time, he tilted his head back, He fell down and pulled out the dagger from Zhong Jinwei's right arm along with it;

Zhong Jinwei felt numbness and pain at once, the pain was in his left hand, and the numbness was in his right hand, which was the place where he was stabbed by the dagger; looking down, the place where he was stabbed by the dagger was already swollen, and he just wanted to utter a curse , dizzy, limp and fell to the ground.

At this time, the people around all reacted, and Wang Chengen rushed to the front of Emperor Chongzhen, holding Buddha dust, and put up a defensive posture to protect Emperor Chongzhen; Wen Tiren was not slow, shouting "grab the assassin" , while running to help the Chongzhen Emperor who was overthrown by Zhong Jinwei; Hu Tao and Meng Jianzhao at the door jumped into the palace, drew their knives and slashed at the old servant on the ground.

The Emperor Chongzhen saw the swords of the two guards slashing at the assassin through Wang Chengen's body, and hurriedly shouted: "I want to live." When the two guards listened to Emperor Chongzhen's order, they turned their wrists in the process of slashing, and changed them to the back of the sword. cut down.

The old servant saw that the assassination failed, and he wanted to be captured alive. Knowing that there was nothing to end, he stabbed himself in the stomach with a dagger.

It was too late, but soon, Meng Jianzhao's knife arrived first, and what was cut was the assassin's right hand holding the dagger. The right hand was slashed violently by the back of the knife, and he couldn't hold it, and the dagger fell down.But in the process of falling, the old servant's own speed and the speed of Meng Jianzhao's knife were superimposed, and the sharpness of the dagger still pierced the old servant's skin.

In the blink of an eye, the assassin was caught by Meng Jianzhao and Hu Tao, and Hu Taoshun kicked the dagger far away with one foot; at this time, Emperor Chongzhen also stood up with the help of Wen Tiren, and checked his body. In the situation, I found that apart from the torn sleeve of my left hand, when I fell down, my arm just hurt a little.Just as he was about to speak, he heard Archie shouting, "My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you?"

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Archie, the court lady who rewarded Zhong Jinwei, had already run over to support Zhong Jinwei.

Seeing that Zhong Jinwei was unconscious, Archie was a little flustered with fright, and just wanted to call Zhong Jinwei again, when he suddenly saw the injury on Zhong Jinwei's right arm, which was swollen into a big steamed bun.So he held Zhong Jinwei in his arms, raised Zhong Jinwei's right arm, and said, "It's poisonous."

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen surrounded him with his two younger brothers. Seeing Zhong Jinwei's swollen right arm, he hurriedly shouted: "Quickly send the imperial doctor."

Wen Tiren on the side looked at it, called Hu Tao over, and said, "Blood the wound quickly." Hu Tao quickly cut a gash on Zhong Jinwei's swollen arm with a knife, and then squeezed it with both hands, only to see a stream of black blood. Blood was squeezed out, accompanied by a stench.

At this time, they heard the assassin's "haha" laughter, and everyone couldn't help but looked up at him.Seeing all the people present looking at him, the old servant smiled triumphantly and said, "The poison on my dagger is sealed with blood. Your work is in vain. Hahaha, it's a pity that you can't hold the emperor back." Said At this point, the voice suddenly stopped, black blood flowed from the nostrils and mouth, his head tilted, and he died.

Emperor Chongzhen was afraid for a while, if it wasn't for Zhong Jinwei, he would definitely have died by now.

Hu Tao squeezed a lot of black blood, and when the color of the blood turned red, the imperial doctor arrived.Seeing the driver and rescuing people, he was busy; Emperor Chongzhen moved to another place under the persuasion of Wang Chengen and Wen Tiren. Before leaving, he ordered Dongchang to investigate the assassin, and the imperial doctor must rescue Zhong Jinwei.

After hearing about the assassination of Emperor Chongzhen, the women in the harem came to express their condolences, and the cabinet ministers came to visit, and the palace was very lively.Zhong Jinwei also spread the word.

After the Emperor Chongzhen settled down all the condolences and visits, he thought for a while alone, and then asked Wang Chengen, who was still with him, and said: "The matter of Zhong Jinwei can no longer be hidden. What he said is that the dynasty will perish after more than 10 years, and I will perish. Jun, how many people know?"

Wang Chengen recalled, and said: "Your Majesty, only you, your servant and Wen Tiren, Lord Wen know, and the court lady Archie who was given to Zhong Jinwei also knows."

Emperor Chongzhen weighed it for a while, and said: "The big companion goes to warn Archie, it's better to rot in the stomach. In addition, Zhao Wen's body is a matter of opinion." Wang Chengen was about to turn around and go to work, when Emperor Chongzhen stopped him again. Asked: "Big companion, please tell me the details of the meeting between Mr. Zhong and Wen Tiren."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengen said, "Your Majesty, this servant forgot all of a sudden and was just about to report this matter to you." Then, while recalling, Wang Chengen said that those who can leave their names in history are talents, and their memories are good, and they basically do not miss a single word. All of them were recounted to Emperor Chongzhen.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished listening, he didn't speak, and sat quietly. After a long time, he asked Wang Chengen: "Big companion, what do you think?"

Wang Chengen knew that Emperor Chongzhen would ask him a long time ago, so he was already prepared, and said, "Your Majesty, this servant thinks that Mr. Ru Ruozhong is indeed from a later generation. Although he speaks big words, his words are credible and his strategies are available."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Shan, besides Sun Chengzong, the characters mentioned by Mr. Zhong, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Qin Liangyu, and Hong Chengchou will be used for my review." Then he sighed and said: "Mr. Zhong The method to solve the root cause has not been elaborated yet, if there is any misfortune, it will be my loss."

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he gave Wang Chengen an order: "Pass the decree to the imperial doctor. Zhong Jinwei has the merit of saving him, so he must be saved. If there is any mistake, he will not be forgiven lightly! Go." Wang Chengen bowed and took the order and left.

After a while, Wen Tiren was ordered to meet outside the hall.

After Wen Tiren saw that the driving was over, Emperor Chongzhen gave him his seat, and said to Wen Tiren: "Thanks to Wen Aiqing for escorting you today." Wen Tiren left his seat and bowed: "I dare not dare to frighten Your Majesty." Polite After it was over, Emperor Chongzhen asked directly: "Wen Aiqing, you know the origin of Zhong Jinwei, and you have a conversation today. What do you think?"

Wen Tiren had already guessed the purpose of Emperor Chongzhen's summoning when he received the summons from Emperor Chongzhen, what should be said and what should not be said, and he had already made up his mind.He got up and replied: "Your Majesty, I think that Zhong Jinwei uttered wild words, exaggerated his words, and sensationalized the public. However, to point out the current disadvantages, the strategies offered are quite valuable."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard it, he "oh" for a moment, and then said: "How can you see it?"

Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, Zhong Jinwei has only had a destiny of more than 10 years in this dynasty. I think he is exaggerating and grandstanding. However, the current plight of the court, the strategy presented by Zhong Jinwei sounds reasonable. Who can give it to you?" What's the matter, let's talk about it, although I'm not familiar with the person he recommended, but seeing his words and his history, I think it's probably credible." What a cunning old man, Emperor Chongzhen hasn't said anything yet, he First of all, let me say that you, Emperor Chongzhen, want to be the king of the kingdom. I don't believe this at all.Then he believed in the people recommended by Zhong Jinwei, which was very beneficial to him, because among the people recommended by Zhong Jinwei, he himself was also there. It sounds like it means to be the best assistant candidate for Chongzhen in the court. Isn't it the chief assistant?It would be foolish to deny this.Anyway, Zhong Jinwei said it.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded his head slightly, and said: "Wen Aiqing is truly insightful, worthy of my thigh." After the Emperor Chongzhen praised him, he said: "Aiqing doesn't need to speak out about Zhong Jinwei's nonsense, it's not good for him."

Wen Tiren lowered his head, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and replied, "No!"

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Wen Tiren understood what he meant, so he said: "Aiqing is also tired today, go home early to rest, I will consider the strategy of Zhong Jinwei." Wen Tiren also achieved his goal, and bowed and left the king. .

It was almost evening at this time, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the sky, thinking about the issue of assassins that related to his own safety, so he sent an order to Cao Huachun, the admiral of the East Factory. (Historically, Cao Huachun took charge of Dongchang only in July of the second year of Chongzhen. Here the novel requires it, so it is a little earlier.)

Not long after Cao Huachun took charge of the East Factory, he encountered a big event in the palace to assassinate the emperor. The assassin was still a servant, so it was bad luck for eight lifetimes.Hearing the imperial edict passed by Emperor Chongzhen, he hurriedly went to report in sweat;

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a trace of anger: "I promoted you as the admiral of Dongchang because I believed in your loyalty and ability. But in a blink of an eye someone came to assassinate me, and you didn't realize it after death. I'm so disappointed."

Cao Huachun fell on the ground, sweating profusely, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, this slave is guilty." He knew that at this time, he must not bully Emperor Chongzhen, saying that he had just taken charge of the East Factory, and his buttocks hadn't even warmed up yet. Those who react quickly, if you want to say this, you are courting death.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen also knew that this matter could not be entirely blamed on Cao Huachun. He mainly wanted to scare him so that he could work with his heart. Seeing that Cao Huachun's attitude was okay, he suppressed his anger a little and asked: " Has the investigation of the assassin's situation been clear?"

Cao Huachun replied: "Your Majesty, the name of the assassin, Wang Hengwu, has been found out. During the Tianqi Dynasty, he was the imperial horse supervisor and supervisor. During this period, he accidentally broke the wooden cart beloved by the late emperor. He was executed and was protected by Wei Zhongxian. The rod was fifty, and he was relegated to the supervisor of the Zhidian, responsible for cleaning the ground of the side hall. Searched his residence, and found a Wei Zhongxian spirit tablet and a bottle of poison in his hidden place. Therefore, the servant thought that he had a grudge against Wei Zhongxian because of His Majesty's treatment of Wei Zhongxian. Look for an opportunity to assassinate." After speaking, he took out two objects from his arms and showed them to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that it was indeed a spirit tablet and a medicine bottle, and asked with a frown, "Do you have any accomplices?"

Cao Huachun kowtowed and said, "The servant is currently investigating."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "You are limited to give me the answer within three days, and step down."

Just as Cao Huachun retired, the imperial doctor came to see him.Emperor Chongzhen knew that there might be a result of Zhong Jinwei's matter as soon as he heard it, and he felt a little panicked. He didn't know if he could be saved from such a poison.So, quickly summoned.
