Chapter 435: Painting Cakes Passed the Level, and the Chen Family was stunned
It's not that Xu Changqing hasn't encountered a crisis, and the pit hasn't been skipped, in his life, how can he remember it for a long time if he doesn't jump into the pit?
These are all valuable lessons in life.
However, at this time, even though Xu Changqing had expected that Emperor Chongzhen might have an ambush and was very likely to tear his face, he didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen would be so anxious and irritable, and he didn't finish a word, and there was no buffer room at all!
At this time, there were at least fifty or sixty people around, all of them tall and well-equipped, and all kinds of weapons were almost from the top, middle and bottom to firmly shackle Xu Changqing in the middle.
However, Xu Changqing quickly noticed that these people looked very bluffing on the surface, but many of them were not in the right posture with knives and guns, and they obviously had no experience.
There are even people who pretend to be vicious on their faces, but their hands and feet are a little trembling uncontrollably.
Xu Changqing also quickly understood at this time that these people were not soldiers, and nine out of ten were the 'Han generals' in terms of honor guards, and they were all a group of rich people.
But these birds, especially those crossbows, are still quite threatening.
Because of Tang Yu's relationship, Xu Changqing also knows this thing very well, at such a close distance, even if the crossbow machine can't break the armor, whether it is shot into the arm or thigh, it is enough to kill people.
Especially this bunch of recruit eggs. Zi has no experience at all, if he gets out of control and goes crazy, even Xu Changqing's physical fitness will also be a catastrophe!
"Emperor, minister, minister don't understand what you mean?"
All this was just in an instant, Xu Changqing's heart had sunk to the extreme, and he raised his hands very slowly and carefully, signaling that he stood up without any weapons or danger, and looked at Emperor Chongzhen respectfully.
Sitting, there is no chance to resist, stand up, with Xu Changqing's skills, it is not impossible to find an opportunity.
"Huh."
Emperor Chongzhen sneered, and counted down his eyebrows: "Xu Changqing, I ask myself to treat you well!" But the Battle of the Northwest, why are you so procrastinating? Knowing that the main force of the thieves has entered Shanxi, why don't you go to the rescue? As a result, the current situation is declining, many big people have died in battle, and my Ming Dynasty's society has been crumbling? In the past, although I have received many recitals of impeachment against you, and have told me countless times that you support the army and respect yourself, but after you have made great contributions to me and are honorable, I will endure it! But at this time, my Daming has already arrived in such a field, how can I tolerate you anymore?! ”
As he spoke, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, and it seemed that he was about to give the order to do it.
"Emperor, Emperor is slow, can you listen to the minister?"
Xu Changqing's whole body was about to be soaked with cold sweat at this time, and he hurriedly spoke.
"Humph!"
Emperor Chongzhen swept Xu Changqing coldly: "It's already like this, what else do you have to say?!" ”
Xu Changqing swallowed his saliva with a little difficulty, his nerves had never been so tense as they were at this time.
At this time, Xu Changqing also had a lot of understanding of Emperor Chongzhen's temperament, this master was a person who was eager for quick success and quick profit, and extremely eye-catching.
In this state at the moment, there is no use in telling him the truth, and if you want to pass the test, you can only draw cakes first!
"Emperor, the minister is indeed guilty, and the blame is that the minister wants to solve the problem too much, and has always wanted to break the core of the thief. It's a pity that the thieves are cunning, and they are sitting on the natural danger of Tongguan, and the minister has paid a lot of price these days, but he has never gained anything.
However, the emperor, the minister still asks the emperor to give the minister another chance!
Although the thieves claim to be a million army, in fact, the army that can fight is only 350,000, as long as the minister can find a flaw and defeat the core of the thief, the million army of the thief is just a chicken and a dog!
As long as the imperial court can reasonably settle them and reduce some of their taxes, it will certainly be able to stabilize them. And with the example of these people, the thief, Luo Rucai, He Yilong and others will definitely cause chaos, and if our army wants to break it, it will be much easier.
This time, the plague of thieves who have plagued me for more than ten years will be fundamentally eradicated!
Emperor, Jingshi is my Da Ming Xiong City, the city is thick with high walls, well-guarded, and the grain and grass reserves are far from being comparable to ordinary cities, as long as you give some time, the minister will definitely give the emperor an explanation!
Otherwise, without the emperor's hands, the ministers will kill themselves and die for the country, and they can't insult the reputation of their ancestors......"
After speaking, Xu Changqing hurriedly knelt on one knee respectfully, with a lot of tears and snot, and kowtowed heavily.
"Huh?"
Emperor Chongzhen's brows have been twisted into the word 'Chuan'.
Even if he really wanted to kill Xu Changqing directly and turn the model army into his own use, Xu Changqing's words just tickled him.
It is indeed not difficult to kill Xu Changqing at this time, but the model army was brought out by Xu Changqing, can he control it in the shortest possible time?
What if there is a mutiny?
After so many years, Emperor Chongzhen has been no different from that year in terms of actions and thoughts, but at this time and at that time, many things have been yellow flowers last night.
Emperor Chongzhen now also understands that wanting to get rid of Xu Changqing is completely different from when he got rid of Wei Zhongxian.
No matter how strong and arrogant Wei Zhongxian was back then, he was known as 'nine thousand years old', but he was just a eunuch without eggs, all his prestige was given to him by the royal family, to put it bluntly, he was a royal dog, and he was nothing if he left the royal family.
But Xu Changqing in front of him is not the same.
Especially Xu Changqing's idea of calming the thieves from the root really made him very excited!
No matter how you calculate it, now, the only one who has the ability to do this is Xu Changqing, who is known as the 'first general of the Ming Dynasty'......
However, although his heart was touched, Emperor Chongzhen was the Son of Heaven after all, and his face was bigger than the sky, he looked at Xu Changqing coldly and said: "Loyal and righteous uncle, I know, you are still loyal, my Zhu and Xu families have been the same enemy for hundreds of years!" However, when you were in the camp, you obviously didn't wear armor, why did you wear armor to see me?! ”
As soon as he heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, Xu Changqing's heart and liver, which had been hanging in his throat, also let go a little, and this level was about to be passed.
Busy and respectfully said: "Emperor, the minister somehow, just arrived in Beijing, he got some rumors. These rumors are all said with noses and eyes, even if the minister has a clear conscience, he can't stop people from saying terrible......"
As he spoke, Xu Changqing hurriedly recounted the rumors from the outside world to Emperor Chongzhen.
"Yes, there is such a thing?"
Emperor Chongzhen's brows furrowed tightly, and his whole person was a little bad.
Xu Changqing hurriedly said respectfully: "Emperor, whether this matter is there or not, you will know as soon as you ask!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen's face turned pale, and he looked coldly at a thousand general officers led by him: "Zhang Liang, is there such a thing?" ”
Zhang Liang is from the British public lineage, not a son-in-law, but since the seventeenth or eighteenth proofreading, he has been following Emperor Chongzhen, although his ability is average, but he is very trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, and he is also very sincere.
Busy said with some embarrassment: "Emperor, indeed, during this time in Beijing, there are indeed such rumors......
"Smack!"
Emperor Chongzhen directly smashed the teacup on the imperial case on the pillar on the side: "Who?!" Who is it! Who is unleashing this rumor?! Check, check it for me! No matter who is found, this matter will never be over! ”
……
Leaving the Heart Cultivation Palace, walking into the blue tile red wall again, feeling the cold but incomparably free cold wind, Xu Changqing felt like a human being for a while, and his whole body was already soaked but he didn't notice it.
Emperor Chongzhen did have such and such problems.
However, he is the Son of Heaven, the Father of the King, and a symbol of supreme and orthodoxy!
He really wants to do something to himself, even at this stage, he really doesn't have a good way to deal with it......
This reminded Xu Changqing of the most beautiful word used to describe it in later generations: "A false alarm." ”
And this incident also made Xu Changqing more calm, the current situation, we must be calm and calm, cautious and cautious!
No matter how careful you are, you can't overdo it!
Otherwise, it's not just a matter of 'if you're not careful, you will lose everything', including the whole nation will collapse!
……
Push back in time.
At the same time that Xu Changqing entered the palace, the atmosphere in the Chen Mansion not far from the palace was comfortable and quiet.
The crackling of the charcoal fire in the brazier dispelled the chill outside, as if there were two worlds, the precious ambergris from the Arabian Gulf was emitting a curling fragrance in the study, and everyone's mind was easily settled.
Today's cabinet assistant, Chen Yan, a scholar of Dongge University, is enjoying the massage of two pretty maids while reading a book in a leisurely manner.
From time to time, I also put a slightly cold hand into the clothes of the maid next to me to feel the more comfortable temperature.
At this time, the greeting of the youngest son Chen Gongzi suddenly sounded outside the study, "Father, the news is here." ”
"Huh?"
Chen Yan was clever, and the old hand subconsciously pinched the maid next to him, and the maid's tears of pain were about to fall, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
After a moment, Chen Yan took out his big hand and waved his hand impatiently: "Go down." ”
"Yes......"
After the two maids left from the secret passage of the 'Golden House Hidden Jiao', Chen Yan beckoned Chen Gongzi in.
As soon as he entered the door, the excitement on Chen Gongzi's face couldn't be hidden, "Dad, Xu Changqing has already entered the palace!" Hehe, this time, even if he puts on his wings, he will never want to escape! ”
"Calm."
Chen Yan glanced at Chen Gongzi: "How did your father teach you?" Man, with the world in mind, Mount Tai collapses in front of you and does not change your face, don't let others know what you are thinking. ”
"Well, it's ......"
Chen Gongzi hurriedly bowed deeply, and had to admire his Lao Tzu's city, compared to him, even if he was much stronger than his peers, he was still as tender as a small shallot.
After setting up his father's shelf, Chen Yan asked Chen Gongzi to explain in detail.
After Chen Gongzi hurriedly drove Xu Changqing to the Beijing Division, he reported everything to Chen Yan, thought about it and said, "Dad, when the emperor wins the model army, do we have to control it too?" The model army is the strongest army in the world. ”
"Childish."
Chen Yan sneered: "The emperor is planning to do it himself, do you think he will give these treasures to others?" Don't kill yourself! ”
"Yes...... Father, if we don't have strong soldiers in hand, in the future, when the king enters the city, won't we have to be passive? ”
Chen Gongzi hurriedly looked up at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan nodded: "It's not bad that you can think of this, it's not in vain for my father's careful teaching over the years." But you only see one, but you don't see two. Now, is it just us who is talking to Kyori over there? It's enough to do our part. There are some things that are not disputed, but they are far greater than fighting! ”
With that, Chen Yan stood up, came to the window, opened a crack and looked at the garden in front, "Mi'er, you are a smart and good boy." However, for the Father, I will teach you another truth, eat as much as you have a stomach. If you have less, you will be hungry, and if you have more, you will die! Our Chen family, don't ask too much, it's enough to be an uncle. Hehe. ”
He looked at Chen Gongzi with a smile: "Son, now, the big drama has just begun." You have to be patient, and when the time comes, Dad will give you another great achievement! ”
Chen Gongzi was already clear, but he soon came back to his senses, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "Dad, the child must do his best, and he will live up to his father's teachings!" ”
An uncle is indeed not worthy of the pride of a wealthy family like the Chen family, but what if it is a family with two uncles, or even one marquis and one uncle?
At that time, he can also 'start a sect'!
However, Chen Gongzi was just about to retire, when at this time, a cry of a henchman and a slave suddenly came from outside: "Young master, it's not good, Xu Changqing, he's out......"
"What?"
The father and son looked at each other, and they were both stunned on the spot.
Xu Changqing is clearly a mortal situation, how can it come out?
