"I deserve to die, I don't dare!"
Tian Ergeng immediately knelt down.
Chongzhen's face was calm, but he was sneering in his heart. He wanted to say to Tian Ergen, you deserve to die, I want to kill you.
But he couldn't say this at the moment. It was true that the Jinyiwei were the emperor's personal soldiers, but that was before Wanli.
After the Tianqi Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian hooked up with Emperor Tianqi's nurse Hakka and took control of the power. Most of the senior officials of Jinyiwei defected to Wei Zhongxian.
Including the commander Tian Ergen, the commander-in-chief Xu Xianchun, the Dongsi Li Xingguan Yang Huan, and the Minister of War Cui Chengxiu became one of the Five Biao.
A good person is not a good person, and he has to be a eunuch's dog.
When Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers arrive in Beijing, the score will be settled slowly.
"You don't have to worry about the British father-in-law. I heard that many people have been trying to please my father-in-law Zhou Kui recently and have given him many gifts. You can check this matter and go down."
"I accept the decree!"
Tian Ergeng responded and exited Dongnuan Pavilion, his head covered with sweat.
It has been almost a month since the new emperor ascended the throne. He has met with him several times, but he has never been under such great pressure as today.
After walking more than ten meters, Tian Ergen turned his head and glanced at Dongnuan Pavilion, then walked out of the palace. Today's new emperor was a little abnormal, and he had to discuss it with Wei Zhongxian.
Chongzhen in Dongnuan Pavilion didn't know about Tian Ergen's actions, and even if he knew, he didn't bother to take care of it now.
The reason why he went to Beijing Camp to test Fang Zhenghua's strength today was mainly due to three considerations.
First, the Imperial Guards in the palace can also be tested, but after all, the Imperial Guards have been walking outside all year round and still have some fighting strength. This is different from the strength of the enemy when Fang Zhenghua died in battle.
Secondly, he wanted to take this opportunity to explore the situation in the Beijing camp. The situation was similar to what he had guessed. The soldiers were old, weak, sick and disabled, and their combat effectiveness was extremely poor.
Finally, let me give a quick shout-out to the British public and others.
Including reprimanding Wang Tiqian, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department, and Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, they were also testing Wei Zhongxian's attitude.
The combination of the two also sends some signals to the people of the Donglin Party. I am dissatisfied with the Eunuch Party and Jingying, and let the people of the Donglin Party cause trouble.
When a dog bites a dog, he has the opportunity to fight the dog.
If the British Duke thought that he did not dare to kill him because of his hereditary first-class dukedom and the credit for supporting him to rise to power, it would be a big mistake.
The Beijing camp is a barrier to defend the capital. If the Beijing camp is not in order, he will not be able to start many things.
After thinking for a while, Chongzhen wrote another name on the paper - Li Banghua.
If the Ming Dynasty wanted to rectify its military affairs, it was none other than Li Banghua. Even when Sun Chengzong came, Li Banghua was not able to help him.
"Daban, has Fang Zhenghua come back? Let him come in!"
"The minister is Zhenghua..."
"Okay, you don't need to have so many rules in private from now on!"
Chongzhen directly interrupted Fang Zhenghua's salute and continued: "Choose an apprentice and let Li Banghua enter Beijing secretly with my handwriting!"
Fang Zhenghua thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, are you Li Banghua, the right minister of the Ministry of War, who was impeached by Wei Zhongxian in the fourth year of Tianqi?"
"Yes, that's him. Let him enter Beijing secretly."
At this moment, the door to the nave of the British Palace was closed tightly, and a dozen people were sitting together, making a lot of noise.
"British Lord, what did your Majesty mean this morning? It's a bit baffling!"
"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and is not busy dealing with party disputes. How could he come to the capital camp?"
"Even if Your Majesty wants to test Fang Zhenghua's military strength, isn't there a royal guard in the palace? What does it mean to come to the capital camp?"
…
"enough!"
Zhang Weixian placed the tea cup heavily on the table, and the noise stopped immediately.
"His Majesty's intention is very obvious. He is trying to beat us. The new emperor always wants to make some changes when he ascends the throne. This is understandable. He will probably take action against the Beijing camp next.
I didn't bother to take care of the bad things you did before, but now you have wiped your butts clean.
Practice your troops well during this period, and don't let your Majesty catch you, otherwise I won't be able to save you. Go back and think about it. "
The generals looked a little ugly and wanted to say something, but fell silent after looking at Zhang Weixian with a gloomy face.
After the generals dispersed, Zhang Zhiji whispered: "Dad, is the little emperor going to attack us?"
"Without our support, the little emperor would not be able to inherit the throne. Is the little emperor so ruthless?"
Snapped!
Zhang Weixian slapped him across the face and said angrily: "You called me the little emperor. Do you want to die?"
"Remember, no matter how you look down on His Majesty, etiquette is indispensable at all times. If you want to live longer, this is very important!"
Looking at his aggrieved son, Zhang Weixian whispered: "His Majesty is hammering us today. I am the seventh generation of the Zhang family to have inherited the British Dukeship. In addition, we have the power of the dragon and control the military power of the Beijing camp. , should not touch our Zhang family,
But if it's really too shameful, it's okay to kill a few nobles. Therefore, I will restrain the people in the Duke's Mansion recently and not go out to cause trouble. In addition, I will supervise the nobles in the Beijing camp more. "
"Dad, don't worry, anyone who dares to seek death will be killed by me!"
Zhang Weixian nodded and then fell into deep thought.
He had a premonition that the emperor wanted to rectify the capital camp, but the forces in the capital camp were complicated and involved the interests of all parties. The emperor couldn't bear it if they really wanted to take action.
But the signal revealed by the emperor today is very obvious. He doesn't know where the emperor's confidence lies. Now he has to consider whether to take the initiative to show kindness to the emperor or to continue to remain neutral.
…
In the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen was busy until the beginning of Haichu (after nine o'clock in the evening) before he put together what he knew.
It includes personal security, military power, military reform, land reform, foreign policy, economy, industry, agriculture, cultural development, etc. Combined with the current situation, a Ming Dynasty sustainable development plan can be formed.
When Chongzhen was about to take a closer look, he heard a noise outside. Before he could call someone, Wang Chengen came in with a look of horror on his face.
"My companion, why are you so worried?"
"Your Majesty, a eunuch from Ciqing Palace came to report just now. The great eunuch Chen Derun actually broke into Ciqing Palace with the intention of..."
When Wang Chengen said this, he didn't dare to continue. Chongzhen suddenly stood up, and I screamed in my heart.
I traveled back in time and after a busy day, I forgot about Chen Derun, the most erotic eunuch in history.
Chongzhen couldn't sit still this time.
"Wang Cheng'en went to Kunning Palace to ask the queen to accompany the emperor's sister-in-law to Ciqing Palace. He said it was getting late and there was fear of criticism. I will go to pay homage to the emperor's sister-in-law tomorrow. I will give her an explanation for this matter!"
"Fang Zhenghua, you personally lead people to capture Chen Derun for me. Remember, no matter who blocks it, shoot to death!"
"Also, he is not allowed to contact anyone during the journey. Don't let him commit suicide!"
"In addition, let Wang Tiqian, Wei Zhongxian, Tian Ergen and the commanders and internal leaders on duty today come to see me!"
