Let's say that Luo Rucai, accompanied by Wu Sangui, followed Deng Tianhe, Lu Hualin and others from the Imperial Attendant Military Attache Office and Gong Wei Division, all the way through the Daming Gate, Chengtian Gate, and Wumen Gate, which were heavily guarded by Jin Ge Iron Armor, and then turned left and right, and finally came to the tall and majestic Wuying Palace.

Rao is Luo Rucai has an ambitious heart that dominates the world, but along the way, I have to sincerely admire how deeply the foundation laid by the Ming Dynasty lasted nearly three hundred years.

It is of course very easy to lead a group of bandits and thieves to kill officials and rebel and wreak havoc.

But what about the destruction, especially after the Ming Dynasty is really overthrown one day?

Do you really have the ability to let the people of the whole world live and work in peace and contentment, so that the Lao Luo family can sit firmly in the world?

Since entering the Daming Gate of the Imperial City, Luo Rucai's heart has been thinking about the rivers and Haiti.

When he followed the team entering the palace, he came all the way to the front of the Wuying Palace, looking at the tall Wuying Palace, as well as the Han generals in front of the Wuying Palace, who were holding their heads high and holding guns, he couldn't help but tremble.

It was also at this time that he finally confirmed once again that he was not the material that went on the horse to fight the world and rule the world.

Listening to the announcement from the Wuying Palace, Luo Rucai remembered his future and fate, remembered whether he was dead or alive this time, and he would know the next moment, as soon as he thought of this, his legs couldn't help but tremble on the one hand, and he couldn't move as if they were filled with lead.

In the end, under the support of Deng Tianhe and Wu Sangui, one left and one right, they stepped up one step after another, and finally crossed the high threshold of the Wuying Hall and entered the Wuying Palace.

As soon as they entered the tall and empty Wuying Palace, Deng Tianhe and Wu Sangui knelt on the ground and saluted, but Luo Rucai couldn't stand, and then knelt on the ground of the main hall.

The gold bricks paving the floor in the hall were extremely hard, and Luo Rucai's kneeling was real, and there was a piercing pain from the two knees.

But at this time, Luo Ru couldn't care about the pain, knelt on the ground, didn't dare to raise his head, just shouted in a trembling voice:

"Grass people Luo Rucai, knock to see His Majesty the Emperor! The grass people deserve death, long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”

Even though he tried his best, he still didn't shout much.

Luo Rucai imagined countless scenes when he met Emperor Chongzhen along the way, and also imagined various words to say when he met Emperor Chongzhen in repeated discussions with Ji Jue.

It's just that when he really arrived in the Wuying Palace, in front of the legendary Great Tomorrow, Luo Rucai, who has always been unruly and pretentious, was completely confused and deflated.

All the previous thoughts and preparations were forgotten, and the thousand words prepared in his mouth and stomach were only able to say this sentence in the end, and even the most important words asking for the emperor's pardon could not be spoken.

As soon as Luo Rucai entered the Wuying Palace, Emperor Chongzhen paid attention to him, looking at him intently to see what kind of performance he was.

Although Emperor Chongzhen intended to keep him temporarily, in case he could have a chance when he pacified the northwest in the future.

But if he still looks like he is not afraid of heaven and earth, unruly and pretentious, then Emperor Chongzhen doesn't care about repenting at any time, and just finds a reason to be rude in front of the emperor, and immediately asks people to push him out of the Wuying Hall and behead him.

Fortunately, Luo Rucai's confessional performance made the Chongzhen Emperor not change his mind temporarily.

As for Luo Rucai's performance, whether it was deliberately performed for the emperor to see, or whether it was really the true performance of a grass man when he met the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care.

As long as Luo Rucai sees the situation clearly and admits it.

Luo Rucai knelt on the ground in the Wuying Hall and kowtowed, lying on his stomach and not daring to move.

Emperor Chongzhen ignored him, first asked Wu Sangui to get up, and then asked Deng Tianhe to return to the queue of military attachés in front of the imperial chamberlain, and then said to Wu Sangui:

"Uncle Chang left my side, and in the blink of an eye, he has been more than two years old! I am very relieved to hear that you have done well in the Northwest Army! This time, I traveled all the way from the Northwest Army to Beijing Division, and I worked hard! ”

Facing the young and old, capable Wu Sangui, Emperor Chongzhen's mood is also very complicated.

It didn't take long for him to be in the position of military attache in front of the imperial chamberlain, and he was arranged to serve in the 3,000 battalions, and in the emperor's own heart, compared with several other figures who he was more optimistic about and trusted, this arrangement of Wu Sangui was not very important.

However, Wu Sangui himself and many people in the government and the opposition unanimously believed that he, like the other imperial attendants and military attachés, was a young talent in the heart of the emperor, and as long as he worked hard, his future prospects must be limitless.

In fact, Wu Sangui, who has not yet turned 20 years old this year, is already a guerrilla officer of a battalion in the Fourth Town of the Guards Army, which can be regarded as very good.

But only the current Emperor Chongzhen himself, the hurdle in his heart always exists.

At this time, Wu Sangui listened to Emperor Chongzhen's words that seemed quite close, and he, who had just stood up, immediately knelt down again, kowtowed and said:

"Your Majesty remembers the micro-ministers, and the micro-ministers are grateful! It is the duty of a courtier to fight on the battlefield for the country and serve His Majesty loyally. ”

This means that the expedition to the northwest is of course very hard, but I serve His Majesty, and no matter how hard I work, I am willing to do it.

Wu Sangui came to Beijing this time, and all kinds of circumstances, after entering Beijing this time, he had already written a report and sent it to the emperor's desk, and at this time, there was no need for him to report in detail on the military situation in the northwest and his experience along the way.

Therefore, after asking the right questions from the monarchs and ministers, Emperor Chongzhen on the throne finally set his eyes on Luo Rucai's body again, looked at it for a moment, made up his mind, and said to him:

"Luo Rucai, before I am, I have already issued a decree to make you the general of the imperial court Mingwei, and the edict to appoint you as the commander of the Jinyi Guard! You are no longer a grass people, and from now on, you can consider yourself a courtier like everyone here today! ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Luo Rucai, who was kneeling on the ground, and after saying this, he saw that he was still speechless, so he continued to say to him:

"Since I have made it clear that you have been appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and you have also received the decree to enter Beijing, I have always done what I say, and I will not go back on you!

"Of course, some people say that you are known as Cao Cao among the thieves in the northwest, the most cunning as a fox, the most capricious, today's end of the road will fall, tomorrow the willows and flowers will be bright and opposite, not trustworthy at all!

"However, since I succeeded to the throne, I have a little experience in selecting and employing people, and I have a clumsy method, pushing it with sincerity and giving it to the thickest, although I can also be flesh and blood!

"Therefore, I am convinced that if I treat people with sincerity, they will treat me with sincerity! Luo Rucai, do you think what I said is right or wrong?! ”

Luo Rucai is also a scheming person after all, and he has been kneeling on the ground for a long time at this time, and the shock and intoxication when he entered and exited the palace have gradually dissipated.

Now that he heard Emperor Chongzhen's previous words, he was slightly relieved and calmed down, and he had to answer the last question asked by Emperor Chongzhen.

Fortunately, after having such a period of respite, the words of the face saint that had been discussed with Ji Jue several times before entering the palace gradually came to mind.

And Emperor Chongzhen's heart-wrenching words also made Luo Rucai inexplicably feel the sincerity of the young son of heaven in front of him.

What Da Mingzi said was so frank, far beyond all the ideas that Luo Rucai had before entering the palace.

At this time, I saw Luo Rucai kowtowing to the ground and replied: "Caomin, no, Weichen was also born in a good people's family, but he was accidentally coerced by thieves such as Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong, and he had to follow the thief as a last resort, so that he was obsessed with it for several years and made countless big mistakes!"

"Weichen and the others, since they repented in Lintao City, and then turned against each other and abandoned the darkness to the light, every day and every night, they are glad to have met a benevolent monarch like Long Live Lord!

"Long live the Lord treats Weichen like this, if Weichen has a second heart, no matter how much he thinks about it, and then he dares to think nonsense, is he still a person? It's not even as good as Yidi beasts!

"Long live what the Lord said to Weichen just now, every sentence is a wise saying! Wechen must keep it in mind and never dare to forget it for the rest of his life! ”

Luo Rucai finished these words lying on the ground, and Emperor Chongzhen couldn't see his expression when he spoke, so he couldn't tell if he was coming from the heart or just dealing with it for a while.

But no matter what, Luo Rucai just bowed his head and became a minister, anyway, he left him in Beijing next, and he couldn't go anywhere.

If he has a second heart, he can be killed at any time.

In short, after listening to Luo Rucai's words, even if Emperor Chongzhen passed the test, he was exempted from kneeling and let him stand up.

Luo Rucai, who arrived in Beijing three days later, was no longer the embarrassed appearance outside the Fucheng Gate at that time.

After Emperor Chongzhen issued a decree to reward him in February, the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared a mansion for him near Chongguo Temple outside Bei'anmen.

The mansion of the two entrances is not big, but it is also worth a lot in the inner city of Jingshi, which is either rich or expensive, especially in the inner city of Jingshi for four years of Chongzhen in this life.

Moreover, the maids, servants, cooks, and housekeepers in the house are all arranged, and there are all kinds of food, drink, clothing, and use.

After Luo Rucai arrived in Beijing, he didn't need to bother to add anything, and he could move in directly.

As for these maids, servants, cooks, and housekeepers, a few of them are eyeliners installed by Jinyiwei, Dongchang and even the Internal Affairs Office, so it's hard to say.

Luo Rucai also understands this, and doesn't care about it at all.

When you arrive at this house, you will clean and bathe, and then you will eat and drink the sea, just enjoy it.

Now, he is wearing the red python robe official uniform of the brocade guard and the four products commanding the affairs, standing in the main hall of the Wuying Palace, facing the emperor, bowing his hands, but he looks like that.
