"Invincible in the East?"
Wang Chengen repeated it subconsciously, with a look of confusion on his face.
If this were a person, wouldn't he be called by this name because he thought he wouldn't die quickly enough?
"Your Majesty, the Dongfang Bubai you are talking about is a person or a place, slave..."
Chongzhen waved his hand and interrupted Wang Chengen's question: "There is an eunuch named Fang Zhenghua in the palace. He has extremely high martial arts skills. Go find out where he is serving now and bring him to see me!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Although Wang Chengen was a little confused, the emperor's words were imperial decrees and must be implemented to the letter.
After looking at the city of Beijing under the morning sun again, Chongzhen began to go back.
As soon as he returned to Qianqing Palace, he saw Zhou Yufeng standing in front of the palace gate, looking left and right, his face full of anxiety and worry.
When he saw Chongzhen coming back, he immediately greeted him: "Your Majesty, it's cold and dewy this morning. You're not in good health. Why did you go out?"
"It's okay. The air is good in the morning. I went out for a walk and I feel much better. The Queen is worried!"
As stated in the record, his appearance is beautiful and dignified, his skin is as white as jade, his national color is radiant, and his jade body is calm and composed.
He had read records in the biography of Chongzhen that after Li Zicheng conquered Beijing, the Empress of Zhou hanged herself before Chongzhen.
Before his death, he said: "I have served His Majesty for eighteen years, but Your Majesty has never listened to a word of advice from me. As a result, today, I am able to die for my country, and there is nothing left to say!"
During his lifetime, he had a deep understanding of justice and was diligent in running his family. When the country was in crisis, he sacrificed his life, which was tragic and poignant.
Now that he is here, this tragedy will naturally not happen.
After chatting with Queen Zhou for a while after breakfast, Wang Chengen came in and said that Fang Zhenghua was already waiting outside Dongnuan Pavilion.
When Chongzhen heard this, he immediately stood up, tried his best to suppress his excitement, and walked towards Dongnuan Pavilion.
"Slave Fang Zhenghua meets His Majesty!"
As soon as Chongzhen entered Dongnuan Pavilion, an eunuch immediately knelt down.
"Get up and talk, hold your head up!"
Chongzhen looked at Fang Zhenghua who stood up, and sighed in his heart. At this moment, Fang Zhenghua was tall, with a resolute face, bright eyes, and protruding veins on the back of his exposed hands. He could not tell that he was a eunuch.
Fang Zhenghua saw Chongzhen staring at him closely, and he secretly beat a drum in his heart.
After a while, Chongzhen said calmly: "Fang Zhenghua, I heard that you are so powerful in martial arts that dozens of people can't get close to you, right?"
Although Chongzhen's words were plain, they were like thunder in Fang Zhenghua's ears. He was so frightened that he knelt down: "You deserve to die, Your Majesty!"
"Get up and talk!"
Chongzhen felt helpless: "I want to see it with my own eyes. If the rumors are true, I will give you some errands. Do you dare to give it a try?"
Fang Zhenghua was a legendary figure. He didn't know where he was serving now, but he later became a eunuch serving as a ceremonial officer.
In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen's reign, he was in charge of the military affairs of Baoding and was responsible for protecting the city. In February of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign, he was appointed as the local governor. After the city was destroyed and dozens of people were killed, he was hacked to death by thieves.
After crossing south, he entered Jingzhong Temple. He was loyal to Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty until his death.
Surrounded by enemies, he was able to kill dozens of people, which shows his high strength in martial arts. You must know that he was already over fifty years old at that time. Counting the time, he is only in his thirties now, and he is at his peak.
It is said that the prototype of Dongfang Bubai in later novels was this eunuch.
"My slave obeys the order!"
Fang Zhenghua breathed a sigh of relief. In terms of martial arts, he really didn't fear anyone in this palace.
Half an hour later, Chongzhen and his party of several hundred people arrived at the Jingwei camp. The sergeants on guard were lazy, the patrolling sergeants were careless, and the training sergeants were perfunctory.
A trace of anger flashed in Chongzhen's eyes, and then he hid it again.
The British Governor Zhang Weixian, who had received the news, immediately saluted with a large group of nobles who hurried over.
"Zhang Weixian, the governor of Jingying camp, comes to see your majesty. Your majesty greets you!"
"Free gifts for British public servants!"
Chongzhen was very calm: "Transfer a sergeant from the 100th Army Station from the Fifth Army Camp. I can use it. Wang Cheng'en, you can go with me!"
"I obey the decree!"
British Duke Zhang Weixian responded immediately, and then asked his son Zhang Zhiji to mobilize people, and Wang Chengen also followed.
Chongzhen stood on the high platform of the martial arts arena, looking into the distance without speaking. Zhang Weixian and other generals did not dare to speak.
Zhang Weixian secretly muttered in his heart that in the morning there was news from the inner court that His Majesty was tired and wanted to rest for a day. Why did he come to the capital camp now?
Is it just a random inspection, or is it because you are dissatisfied with yourself and want to beat yourself up?
Zhang Zhiji, who was on the other side to transfer people, took out a bag of silver and handed it to Wang Chengen: "Wang Zhongguan, what are you doing to transfer people?"
Wang Chengen glanced at the money bag, without reaching out, and said calmly: "Young Master, let's hurry up. It's not good for Your Majesty to wait in a hurry!"
"Yes Yes!"
Zhang Zhiji nodded. Although he was a little annoyed at Wang Chengen's lack of appreciation, he did not dare to get angry in this situation.
After just a cup of tea, a group of about a hundred soldiers arrived at the martial arts field.
Chongzhen nodded towards Wang Chengen, and Wang Chengen began to announce the rules of martial arts, and said that as long as he won, he would be rewarded with a hundred silver coins. Whoever 'killed' Fang Zhenghua would be promoted to a hundred households.
There were hundreds of people in the audience cheering, but Fang Zhenghua was extremely calm.
"Fang Zhenghua, go!"
People were flying in the field, and Fang Zhenghua was walking among the soldiers. Every time he handed out a sword, one person quit the fight.
The scene made Chongzhen excited, and it also made him realize that there was real kung fu in ancient times. Those martial arts stars in later generations would be considered awesome if they could withstand even one move in Fang Zhenghua's hands.
What do you mean by Kung Fu? Does jumping two meters high on the spot count?
In less than a quarter of an hour, the results came out. Chongzhen's eyes flashed with joy, and then his face darkened.
The faces of the British generals and other generals in the capital camp were extremely ugly.
Just because, among the 112 sergeants in Baihu Station, 63 were 'killed' in battle due to the rules of martial arts.
"Mr. British, we still need to practice in the Beijing camp!"
"I am guilty of death, please punish me!"
The British duke immediately knelt down and pressed his forehead to the ground.
Chongzhen glanced at it, secretly cursed the old fox, and said lightly: "The British public has made serious remarks, and I still need you to protect the safety of Kyoto!"
After speaking, he walked towards the audience. Wang Chengen immediately shouted: "Get off and go back to the palace!"
All the generals in the Beijing camp immediately knelt down and shouted to see off His Majesty.
After watching Chongzhen's holy cavalry walk out of the camp, a group of generals suddenly surrounded the British Duke Zhang Weixian.
Before anyone could speak, Zhang Weixian immediately said: "Shut up, I see. Look at the good things you have done. A hundred households dealt with one eunuch, and more than sixty people were kicked out of the battle.
You all have lost face in Jingying. You went to my house to discuss matters in the evening. Now go and practice! "
Seeing that Zhang Weixian was angry, the generals immediately dispersed. Zhang Weixian looked in the direction of the palace with complicated eyes.
On the other side, in Dongnuan Pavilion, Chongzhen looked at Fang Zhenghua: "Fang Zhenghua, you make me very satisfied!"
"I originally wanted you to do other things, but there are very few people around me who are available. In the near future, you will stay with me to protect my safety. Are you willing?"
"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"
Fang Zhenghua immediately bowed down and thanked me, then hesitated: "Your Majesty, I have trained eight apprentices in my spare time. Although my skills are not as good as mine,
But facing the sergeants in the Beijing camp, it is not a problem to use one for twenty. If the emperor needs it, he can transfer them! "
"What I need is someone who is absolutely loyal to me!"
"There is absolutely no problem. When they entered the palace, they were carefully trained by slaves and instilled in them the idea of being loyal to His Majesty and loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Now, even if they are allowed to die, there will be no problem!"
Chongzhen was extremely happy, and Fang Zhenghua really did not disappoint him.
If half of those ministers had Fang Zhenghua's consciousness, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Jiannu would be a joke.
With Fang Zhenghua and his eight disciples here, at least he didn't have to worry about someone breaking into Qianqing Palace at night and killing him, nor did he have to worry about accidentally falling into the water.
"Fang Zhenghua, do you have a way to leave the palace secretly? What I mean is that you won't be discovered by Wei Zhongxian, the Donglin Party and other forces."
Fang Zhenghua thought for a while: "Your Majesty, one or two is not a big problem!"
"good!"
Chongzhen was overjoyed: "Fang Zhenghua, you choose two disciples, carry the imperial edict secretly out of the palace, and travel to Zhongzhou, Sichuan at starry night, to mobilize Qin Liangyu and her white-pole soldiers to Beijing.
I will give another Shangfang sword and tell Qin Liangyu that the imperial power has granted permission, and anyone who dares to stop him will be beheaded first and then punished! "
"This slave accepts the order!"
"When Qin Liangyu comes to Beijing, that's when you take charge of the Royal Horse Prison!"
