Since Chongzhen knew about Xiao Hezi and Yuan Chonghuan, he knew that Xiao Hezi did not accept money.
Otherwise, with Chongzhen's character, Xiao Hezi would have been pushed out and beheaded long ago.
"Your Majesty, I think General Yuan is really loyal to the Ming Dynasty. After all, Shanhaiguan also needs General Yuan to return to guard it."
Seeing that Chongzhen was no longer so angry, Xiao Hezi quickly continued to speak to the emperor.
"Hey, why do you all have to force me!"
Hearing what Xiao Hezi said, Chongzhen was obviously unhappy. He was in a good mood. He had not yet dealt with the officials who had relations with Zhu Si a while ago. Something happened again in Shanhaiguan.
It was really going on one after another, which made Chongzhen feel very tired.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
When Xiao Hezi saw Chongzhen covering his head, he quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Ahem!"
"Someone is coming! Call the doctor quickly!"
Chongzhen felt his chest was tight and couldn't say a word. Just as he was about to speak, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell directly on the table.
Seeing Chongzhen vomiting blood, Xiao Hezi was frightened and shouted to the eunuch outside the door.
The entire palace was in chaos instantly. Both the maids and the eunuchs got the news that the emperor was vomiting blood.
"Eunuch Wei, Your Majesty allows you to enter the palace!"
"Master Hu, Your Majesty allows you to enter the palace."
"General Xu, Your Majesty, please come to the palace."
...
After a night of tossing, some people came out of the palace and came to the houses of some officials to deliver orders.
At this time, all the adults also knew what happened last night and felt that these might be His Majesty's last words. They did not dare to delay and came to the palace without stopping.
Only Hu Yunqing sat in a carriage and walked slowly towards the palace.
"Sir, I saw many adults' carriages rushing on their way in a hurry. At our speed, we may be late to the palace."
Xiao Yi drove a carriage and watched many carriages heading towards the entrance of the palace. Xiao Yi turned his head and looked at Hu Yunqing inside the carriage. He still looked unhurried and said to him with some doubts.
"What's the use of going so early? Nothing will happen. You have to be restrained wherever you go."
Hu Yunqing, who was lying on the carriage with his eyes closed and concentrating, turned over and talked to Xiao Yi.
"Sir, how did you know? I saw the emperor seemed very anxious when the eunuch was delivering the message. My subordinates thought it was a bit like that?"
Seeing Hu Yunqing's confident look, Xiao Yi showed doubts. Thinking of the eunuch's appearance just now, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart and turned to face Hu Yunqing.
"Be careful! Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with you at all."
Hearing Xiao Yi mid-sentence and looking at Xiao Yi's expression, Hu Yunqing knew what the latter wanted to say, so he quickly interrupted him, shook his head and said affirmatively.
"Sir, I would like to know why you sometimes feel like you are predicting the future. How do you know?"
After following Hu Yunqing for such a long time, Xiao Yi simply couldn't understand why Hu Yunqing was so calm and calm every time he expressed his doubts to Hu Yunqing.
"The secret must not be leaked, just see if what I said is right."
Hu Yunqing would not say that he had traveled through time and understood the history here. Moreover, in history, Chongzhen did not die of illness at all.
After hearing what Hu Yunqing said, Xiao Yi said nothing more and drove the carriage to the palace gate.
"Okay, just wait for me here."
Hu Yunqing opened the door curtain and saw that he had arrived in front of the palace gate. He quickly got out of the car, tidied his clothes, and gave Xiao Yi instructions.
"As commanded."
After Hu Yunqing left, Xiao Yi lay lazily on the carriage. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there was no place safer than the royal palace.
Xiao Yi didn't have to worry about Hu Yunqing's safety at all. He lay down and slowly fell asleep.
"Master Hu!"
The imperial guards at the door stopped Hu Yunqing as usual and checked whether there were any weapons on Hu Yunqing.
After the inspection was completed, Hu Yunqing strode inside and was stopped by the Imperial Army again.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing that he was stopped, Hu Yunqing was a little unhappy. The others were obediently letting him go, but when they arrived at his place, they stopped him again and again.
"Master Hu calms down because he has a secret purpose!"
When the Imperial Guard saw that Hu Yunqing was angry, he quickly whispered in his ear.
After hearing what the Forbidden Army said, Hu Yunqing's expression changed slightly, and he didn't understand why there was a secret decree for him.
"Sir, come with me."
The Imperial Guard made an invitation gesture, and then led Hu Yunqing down another path.
"Where are you taking me?"
Seeing that there was no one on the road, he carefully observed both sides. asked the soldier rushing ahead.
As he spoke, the soldier's pace quickened a little, and Hu Yunqing became a little panicked. What was he going to do? He quickly pressed his hand on the former's shoulder and asked.
"Master Hu, I received the order to bring you to the hall in front. I don't know anything else. I'm a little anxious now. I have to go for convenience."
There was nothing wrong with the soldier at all, he just wanted convenience and wanted to send Hu Yunqing to the place early so that he could go to the toilet.
Hu Yunqing came to the door in front and found that it was a secret door of a main hall.
I looked around and found that no one was watching, so I quickly opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, Hu Yunqing saw Chongzhen sitting on a chair looking at him.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?"
As soon as he came in, he saw Chongzhen sitting properly, and Hu Yunqing asked him doubtfully.
"Shh!"
Hearing Hu Yunqing's loud voice, Chongzhen quickly hissed.
"What's wrong?"
Hu Yunqing saw a large screen in front of him. He walked to the screen and saw many court officials kneeling on the other side of the screen, including Wei Zhongxian.
"what the hell is this?"
Hu Yunqing looked at the situation outside. One by one, the officials acted as if their biological father had died. Hu Yunqing turned to Chongzhen in confusion and asked.
"It's not a big deal, I just want to see if they are loyal to me."
Chongzhen drank tea leisurely and listened to what people outside said.
"The emperor's art is so boring!"
Seeing what Chongzhen did, he immediately understood what Chongzhen wanted to do. He sat directly next to Chongzhen, picked up the teacup and started drinking tea.
The fact that I am inside now means that it is not testing me at all, so there is no need to worry so much.
"Ahem, dear friends, my body feels a little tired! Ahem, cough, cough."
Chongzhen lay on the bed, pretending to be terminally ill and dying, and said feebly while coughing.
"Your Majesty, take care of yourself. Ming Dynasty cannot live without you."
