Borrow the day to change the day

() On the afternoon of the third day of the three-day limit set by Emperor Chongzhen, Cao Huachun felt that it was almost done, so he stopped, and brought the roster of the assassin's party that he had planned, and reported directly to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that it was Cao Huachun who came over, and knew that it was the assassin's business, so of course he was very concerned about it.

As soon as I saw it, I was startled. Why are there so many assassins in the party, angry, I don’t know if I don’t check, and I found out that I live in such a dangerous environment after checking, which is not bad.

He slapped the roster on the imperial table, and said to Cao Huachun, "Is it true?"

Cao Huachun was taken aback by Emperor Chongzhen, but he was also a person who had gone through the storm, without any fluctuations on the surface, bowed and said: "The slaves searched from the people close to the assassin Wang Hengwu, and the people who were investigated came out after confessing. of."

They were all from old gangsters, and he didn't give a direct and affirmative answer. The words he answered seemed to answer Emperor Chongzhen's question, but anyway, he didn't say he was dead, and he always kept his hand.

Emperor Chongzhen was very angry, and the consequences were serious. He stood up and took the roster and prepared to throw it at Cao Huachun, saying: "Bold and arrogant, call all the servants and maids, and kill them in public, as an example to others."

Cao Huachun bowed and said, "No."

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen still didn't see the roster thrown down, so he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and looked up at Emperor Chongzhen.I saw that Emperor Chongzhen was browsing the roster of assassins again.I couldn't help but feel tight: there will be no mistakes.

It turned out that when Emperor Chongzhen was about to throw out the roster in his hand, he 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?"

As soon as Cao Huachun heard the gesture of Emperor Chongzhen and his questioning, he knew that there might be something wrong.So he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, this servant has just taken charge of the East Factory. When the younger ones drafted this roster for the servant, the servant confirmed it and said it was true."

Emperor Chongzhen listened to what Cao Huachun said, and I dare you to listen to what his subordinates said, so I'm not sure.So, he said: "The Archie on this roster was rewarded by Zhong Jinwei. Zhong Jinwei rescued him and fell into a coma. I asked Archie to take care of him. At that time, she was the first to scream and remind Zhong Jinwei that she should not be an assassin."

At this time, Wang Chengen who was next to him was also moved. Several of his cronies were also arrested, but when it came to the matter of assassinating His Majesty, even though he knew they were innocent, he did not dare to intercede.It would be too wasteful not to use such a good opportunity now.So he pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah, how could Archie be the assassin's party? The servant also looked panicked when he saw her. He couldn't escort her, so he sounded a reminder first."

What nonsense, Wang Chengen didn't have any idea at that time, Archie next to him still had a panicked face, he really didn't need to write a draft for lying, his face didn't blush, and his heart didn't beat.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Wang Chengen, one of the parties involved, was also in line with his own judgment, so he said, "Let Archie come to see you, and I will ask him personally."

Cao Huachun secretly scolded Wang Chengen in his heart, ready to take orders.

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly wondered if there was something tricky inside, so he ordered again: "Cao Banban is tired, just take a rest and let Wang Daban go."

Cao Huachun was speechless, and he didn't even have a chance to make amends.

Over there, Wang Chengen was secretly happy, and hurriedly took orders.

After a while, Wang Chengen led Archie in.

Archie didn't suffer much abuse in Dongchang, because she was not the key care object.It's just that I was terrified enough, and looked rather haggard.

As soon as he came in, Archie hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said to Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, save the young master quickly, save the young master quickly, he has no one to take care of him for a day."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor." Wang Chengen was also anxious, and hurried to the door to arrange manpower to find the imperial doctor.

Cao Huachun wondered: This Zhong Jinwei is so important in His Majesty's heart, why haven't I heard of it before.In fact, if you want to blame, you have to blame him. He just went out to do errands a few days ago. Emperor Chongzhen had just returned when he was assassinated, and he hadn't had time to listen to gossip.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished his orders, he asked Archie, "Your name is on the list of assassins presented to me by Dongchang. Is it true?"

Who would admit it foolishly, and besides, Archie really wasn't.

Archie originally came to see Emperor Chongzhen sent the imperial doctor to take care of Zhong Jinwei, and he felt relieved. Now when Emperor Chongzhen asked him, he hurriedly fell to the ground and replied: "Your servant is wronged. That day, my servant was taking care of the son, and two gangsters broke in." It is a misunderstanding to say that I am an assassin's accomplice, and I have money. The slaves have no choice but to give them all the money. Unexpectedly, they think that the slaves have too little money, so they are arrested as accomplices. Your Majesty, the slaves are really wronged, I hope Your Majesty will make the decision."

After arranging the matter, Wang Chengen heard Archie's complaint from the side, and he couldn't help but secretly happy.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his face darkened, and he looked at Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun hadn't instructed to knock off Archie's money, and such a small person as Archie was not in his eyes at all.Affection is a job done by the people under him in private.

Now seeing Emperor Chongzhen looking at him with a serious face, knowing in his heart that Emperor Chongzhen believed Archie's words, he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the slaves will investigate immediately."

Emperor Chongzhen was very upset, knowing that what Archie said was true, and he also took the opportunity to make a fortune when it came to my safety. I am afraid that this list is very watery.I am so disappointed.

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and then said: "Cao Banban, you are an old man in my residence. I think you have always been loyal, so I let you take charge of the East Factory. But when it comes to my safety, it is so perfunctory for my subordinates. After the incident, you still take the opportunity to make money. I don’t think you are suitable to be in charge of the East Factory. You should work in the Supervisor of Rituals first with peace of mind.”

Cao Huachun was very sad, the position of the admiral of the East Factory had not yet been filled, and he was about to come down, and he was helpless, unable to object, so he had to say: "Damn this slave, for failing to do the errand assigned by His Majesty."

After Zhong Jinwei's complaint and a series of recent events, Wang Chengen has become very important in Emperor Chongzhen's heart. Now that Cao Huachun doesn't do well, he will give this opportunity to him. Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, and said to Wang Chengen: " Companion, 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 say to Wang Chengen: "The people on this list, you can give me a careful trial to find out who is wronged. In addition, the people in Dongchang should also be cleaned up, so that they can remember the people enshrined in Dongchang. who is it!"

Wang Chengen hurriedly said, "No."

After dealing with these matters, Emperor Chongzhen missed Zhong Jinwei, so he hurried to visit Zhong Jinwei in person.

When Imperial Physician Huang arrived at the side hall where Zhong Jinwei lived, Zhong Jinwei had been fed liquid food, was poisoned deeply, and was weak. Now he had been starved for another day, with less intake and more exhaust.

Doctor Huang was so frightened that he quickly fed water, liquid food, hanging old ginseng, acupuncture, anyway, he used all first aid methods.After working for a long time, although Zhong Jinwei's pulse was still weak, it had stabilized.

As soon as I let go of my heart, I heard the emperor approaching, and hurriedly knelt down to meet him.

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen came in, he hurriedly asked, "Huang Qing, how is Mr. Zhong doing?"

Doctor Huang knelt and said back to Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, if I'm a few quarters of an hour late, there's nothing I can do. Now the situation has stabilized, but after all these twists and turns, I really don't know when he will wake up." Doctor Huang Knowing that Emperor Chongzhen was concerned about when Zhong Jinwei would wake up, he quickly said it first.

Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhong Jinwei had been pulled back from the ghost gate. It was really dangerous; but it has been a few days and he still hasn't woken up, which is a troublesome matter. I still have many things to consult Mr. Zhong.

Thanks to Archie's loyal protection of the Lord, he begged me to save Mr. Zhong first when he saw me, otherwise, it would really be a waste of time to delay.So, he said to Archie who came together: "Thanks to your timely reminder, Mr. Zhong was able to turn the crisis into safety. I want to reward you. What do you want?"

Archie hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this servant is very happy to save the young master. The servant does not ask for a reward, but only wants to continue to take care of the young master." At some point, Archie's heart has already reached Zhong Jinwei.Or the night talk that night, an experience she had never experienced before, made her feel a kind 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 have written down your reward first, and you can mention it to me later if you need it."

After thinking about it, he turned to Wang Cheng'en and said, "I found out that it was the two killers who came here to arrest Archie. Let's kill him first."

Wang Chengen didn't mind dealing with those two people at all, bowed and said, "No."

In August of the second year of Chongzhen, Houjin completed the assembly and divided into two routes 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 early on that he had already made preparations. He added a defensive artifact-the Hongyi cannon, and stocked up more grain and grass.

As for the Hongyi cannons, Hou Jin had learned a long time ago, and he did not dare to attack by force. He left one to watch Jinzhou, and the other troops were dispersed to loot, kill, and burn them all.

This is already the front line, so there is basically nothing to grab and burn, except that some wheat near Jinzhou City is cheaper and later gold.

After Hou Jin helped Daming harvest the wheat, he saw that he couldn't get any other bargains, so he withdrew from Shuangtai Fort. When he passed the Xiaoling River, he demolished Youyanwei City by the way.After work, I went home to harvest the grain in my field.

As usual, report the victory.

After Emperor Chongzhen heard it, he was really happy and disappointed. He was happy that Jianlu would not detour to attack as Zhong Jinwei said. From this, it can be seen that other things Zhong Jinwei said, such as the subjugation of the country after more than ten years, may not be true; disappointed It was because Jianlu did not detour the attack, and his idea of ​​a decisive battle with Jianlu in Zunhua could not be realized.

When the news reached Zunhua, Wang Yuanya, the governor, felt that the Holy Majesty had guessed wrong, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform the generals that the landlord’s house had no more food left and would not supply any more. The previous agreement had to be suspended. It doesn't matter if you stop, anyway, the salary, money and food will not be paid, whether you like to practice or not, just watch.
