4 Five gold medals

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen asked out loud almost in an angry tone.

Yang Sichang couldn't stand anymore when he heard this, his legs were weak, he fell to his knees, his head fell to the ground, and he didn't dare to argue in a panic. The emperor has made his words so clear, no fool will think that the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty can coexist peacefully!

The emperor was furious, and everyone on the side also knelt down, including Cao Huachun. At this time, he didn't dare to look up at Emperor Chongzhen. He felt the emperor's fierceness and majesty, and for some reason, he thought of it, could it be Taizu's possession?

Emperor Chongzhen was on the throne, looking down at the kneeling courtiers below, and deliberately stared at Cao Huachun, thinking in his heart that his performance just now should also give him some shock!

Thinking so, he turned his head back to look at Yang Sichang again, and said in a cold voice again: "Qing think about it carefully, did the Manchu army invade the Guannai several times, was it when my Ming Dynasty finally wanted to suppress the thieves?" Qing thought about it, yes or no? “

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen paused, and then said loudly: "Why did the Manchus do this? Don't you just want me to be in the Ming Dynasty, and I want to make chaos for the Ming Dynasty, and it's best that the Ming Dynasty is getting more and more chaotic! Now, Qing Ke really figured it out? “

"There is no one more saintly than Your Majesty!" Yang Sichang prostrate on the ground, looking at his sweat dripping on the ground and not daring to wipe it, his voice trembled a little and replied, "I can't be instructed by Your Majesty, the criminal is still in the maze and doesn't know it!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen saw him confess, he softened his tone and said seriously: "This is also Taizu who woke me up." Alright, let's get flat! ”

Hearing this, both Yang Sichang and Cao Huachun were taken aback. I have to say that as soon as Emperor Chongzhen said this, the matter of Taizu's dream was emphasized in their minds again. Seriously, if you think about it carefully, it seems that Emperor Chongzhen didn't have this insight before, could it really be Taizu's dream and wake up the emperor?

In addition, there is also the momentum of Emperor Chongzhen, which has also changed a lot and become wise, if it is just a sudden change in themselves, they don't believe it. But if it was Taizu Tuomeng who influenced Emperor Chongzhen, it was possible.

You must know that Taizu is a character who started from the end of the micro and ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Honor! In all dynasties, which founding emperor was so powerful as Taizu?

Thinking about it like this, the two of them really believe it!

Everyone in the Wenhua Palace, after standing up according to the words, unconsciously, they all held their breath and respected Emperor Chongzhen a lot.

Emperor Chongzhen on the throne saw a puddle of sweat stains in front of Yang Sichang, so he didn't see it, and instructed Yang Sichang: "Lu Shangshu has too few troops in his hands to resist the Manchu army, and the situation is critical!" According to my intentions, I will send it to Lu Shangshu as soon as possible! ”

"Wechen obeys!" Yang Sichang did not resist again this time, immediately agreed, and hurriedly returned to the cabinet to draft the decree.

In the Wenhua Palace, only Cao Huachun remained.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen didn't say a word, just looked at him.

After only a while, Cao Huachun felt that Emperor Chongzhen's eyes, like substance, pierced him faintly uneasy. I don't know why, Emperor Chongzhen at this time made him feel awe.

As soon as he thought of this word, Cao Huachun suddenly realized, as if his former self, I don't know when I started, I lost the awe I should have.

While he was thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be chatting, and suddenly asked, "Companion, what do you think about what happened just now?" ”

When Cao Huachun heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty is wise, and the slave and maid are very impressed!" ”

"Huh?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little dissatisfied, at this time, he didn't need to be a sycophant.

His snort made Cao Huachun's heart tighten, and he felt that the emperor was dissatisfied with the twists and turns in the matter, so that the emperor had a hard time talking.

Thinking so, Cao Huachun hurriedly explained: "The slave maid just went to the cabinet to deliver the decree, and it happened that the other two auxiliary ministers were not there, so there was a matter of Yang Ge's refusal to ask for a meeting. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen snorted again, and he didn't expose it, but asked in a faint voice, "I am asking Daban, you are in charge of Dongchang, can you add anything to this matter just now?" ”

Cao Huachun was not stupid, he just didn't think about it before, but when he was reminded by the emperor at this time, he immediately came back to his senses, and suddenly a cold sweat came down.

You must know that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is far away in Liaodong, separated by Shanhaiguan, and it stands to reason that there should be no communication between the news. But why was the Manchu Qing Dynasty able to get stuck in time and enter the customs to make trouble when the Ming Dynasty was just about to exterminate the thieves, among them, was there no one to report the news?

Dongchang and Jinyiwei are both responsible for detectives, although in this case, maybe Jinyiwei's side is a little more responsible. But now, the commander of Jinyiwei is not here, and the emperor is asking him, the commander of Dongchang, does he want to shirk his responsibility and cause the emperor to be even more dissatisfied?

Cao Huachun felt Emperor Chongzhen's dissatisfaction with him, before this, such a thing had never been like this.

If he loses the emperor's trust, he will be nothing, but if he is asked to say one or two things now, he can't say it, and in a hurry, he immediately bowed down and played: "Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that the Yang Pavilion Department has a case of not being summoned just now, so if this will goes down, if Director Gao is not called, or misses the transmission of the will, it may also fail the holy will and put Lu Shangshu in danger." Yes, the slave and maid are willing to hurry up and supervise! ”

As soon as he heard this, he reminded Emperor Chongzhen that the so-called generals are outside, and the king's orders are not subject to it. Or in other words, Gao Qiqian didn't know his determination, thinking that he would change his hexagram or something, and he might want to negotiate peace later, so even if he accepted the will, when the time came, when the time came, there were many means to restrain Lu Xiangsheng, and finally let history repeat itself, resulting in Lu Xiangsheng's death.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen also became nervous, temporarily put down what he wanted to say just now, and immediately nodded and said, "Otomo is reasonable this time, and this must be prevented." Immediately pass the order to Gao Qiqian, and strictly order Gao Qiqian to act according to the order, and there must be no violation! ”

Gao Qiqian is a eunuch and the emperor's domestic slave, only to give Gao Qiqian's will, it doesn't need to be so formal, and the emperor's direct decree, Gao Qiqian doesn't dare not accept it.

Emperor Chongzhen did not let Cao Huachun go in person, but gave him a gold medal and asked the other chamberlains to hurry to the horse, follow the first holy decree, and rush to Zhending's side.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was busy with this, Cao Huachun was still uneasy in his heart, although he found a reason to change the topic, but there was still a problem after all. Therefore, he reminded again: "Your Majesty, now that the war is changeable, it is very likely that Lu Shangshu is no longer in Zhending, in case the angel of the decree cannot find Director Gao in time, there will still be problems, or ......."

He felt that if he didn't do something, he would be uneasy. He had a gut feeling that the emperor was already not so happy with him. Since the emperor is so concerned about Lu Xiangsheng's safety at the moment, if he can protect Lu Xiangsheng, maybe he will be able to regain the emperor's favor and win the emperor's full trust again.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, and also felt that it was not enough insurance before, since this was the case, he remembered the matter of the former Song Zhao Gou sending thirteen gold medals in a row to chase Yue Fei. Well, in that case, I have to be a gold medal.

So, he still didn't let Cao Huachun go in person, but sent five messengers in a row to find Gao Qiqian with a gold medal, asking him to obey his will. Even later, his will was already very strict, and he clearly said that if Lu Xiangsheng had something, Gao Qiqian would pay for him!

Watching the gold medals issued one after another, Cao Huachun, who had been watching from the sidelines, was surprised again and again. He deeply felt that Emperor Chongzhen, who had been dreamed of by Taizu, had his own opinions and had become completely different from before.

Today's Emperor Chongzhen, let him serve on the side, and he has a feeling of walking on thin ice.

While he was thinking about this, the attendants outside the palace came again to report that the three auxiliary ministers of the cabinet had asked for an audience.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he glanced at Cao Huachun, nodded, and summoned the three auxiliary ministers.

Soon, after the salute was completed, it was Yang Sichang who spoke first: "Your Majesty, now that my Ming national policy is both internal and external, the ministers think so. But this shortage of money and food will be even greater, and I am afraid that the court will be overwhelmed! ”
