Hearing this, Wang Dehua couldn't help but feel tight in his heart, and secretly resented in his heart: He didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup that Wang Chengen had poured into the emperor to make the emperor treat him so badly!
Thinking like this, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what the emperor was most concerned about at this time in order to deal with this current situation.
At the same time, Wang Dehua opened the palace door and walked in. He lowered his head and walked forward hurriedly. When he saw Emperor Chongzhen's feet from the corner of his eye, he immediately knelt on the ground and said with a heavy expression on his face: "I would like to express my condolences, please take care of the dragon body! Set up an altar for Governor Hong." The servant is personally supervising the construction of the temple, and it will be completed soon!"
After the defeat of Songshan was reported, everyone thought that Hong Chengchou, an important official of the empire, had died for the country. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen ordered an altar and a shrine to be built in his honor. After the completion, he would personally lead hundreds of civil and military officials to pay homage.
Wang Dehua thought that if there were no other special matters, then this matter should be the emperor's biggest concern. Therefore, he talked about this matter first, and as for the rest, he could only adapt to circumstances.
But who knows, it's okay if he doesn't mention this, but when he mentions it, Emperor Chongzhen's mood becomes even worse.
He had already learned from the documentary that Hong Chengchou did not die in battle at all. Instead, he was alive and kicking, helping Jianlu make plans, and made great contributions to Jianlu's final victory in the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and built an altar and a shrine for him, and personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to pay homage to him. When the news of Hong Chengchou's surrender comes again, he will be ridiculed by the people of the world and even future generations, and he will be completely embarrassed! Thinking this, he couldn't help but get angry.
So, I saw him striding up to Wang Dehua and kicked him over.
With a "pop" sound, Wang Dehua was kicked on the head.
Good guy, when I saw Wang Dehua was kicked, he immediately fell backwards and fell to his feet in the air, in a miserable state.
Seeing this situation, Emperor Chongzhen himself was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he didn't receive much force when he kicked him just now, but it was so powerful?
Of course not, Wang Dehua deliberately pretended to be embarrassed to alleviate Emperor Chongzhen's anger.
He immediately turned over, climbed up to Emperor Chongzhen with his hands and feet, and said with a mournful face: "Long live the Lord, if you can vent your unhappiness in your heart, I will be the most happy in my heart!"
The implication is that if your Majesty thinks this will make you happy, just kick him.
After hearing what he said and seeing him coming over to get kicked again, to be honest, if Emperor Chongzhen didn't know the outcome of history, he would have thought how loyal he was and how much he would have thought about him!
Understanding this, thinking that he had been deceived by him and unable to see through his true face, made Emperor Chongzhen even more angry. However, he didn't do it himself because he thought it was dirty. Instead, he turned to Wang Chengen and said, "My dear friend, beat me to death!"
"..." When Wang Dehua heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.
Looking up, when he saw Wang Chengen, he finally got a panoramic view of the hall.
Sure enough, the prince and Princess Kunxing were both there. There is another person with short hair and strange clothes. Who is this person?
Subconsciously, he had a keen sense that the key to everything should lie in this strange person.
Because he actually knew what Wang Chengen was capable of. In other words, he is familiar with all these people in the palace. The only one who was unfamiliar was this strange person.
But at this time, he had no chance to think about this matter. Because Wang Chengen had already rolled up his sleeves and strode towards him.
Although Wang Dehua was the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the governor of the East Factory, he was the most powerful among the eunuchs in the palace. But no matter what, he is still just a domestic slave of the emperor. If he really wants to be beaten to death, then he will be beaten to death. There will be no problem at all!
However, for Wang Dehua himself, this is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, he immediately knelt down, hugged Emperor Chongzhen's thigh, started crying, and at the same time said quickly: "As long as the long live master is happy and kills the slave, it will be the slave's blessing. But , I don’t know what I did wrong that made Lord Long Live so angry? If someone deceives Lord Long Live and wants to get rid of this slave, although I will die without regrets, I will not be able to serve Lord Long Live in the future, woo woo Woo..."
The implication is that you can kill me, but you have to give me a reason. Why do you want to get rid of me who is loyal?
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately wanted to scold him angrily. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly froze.
Wang Dehua has not yet opened the door to welcome the thief, nor has he persuaded the thief to ascend the throne. There is no way to explain the reason!
But he is the emperor, so what if he doesn't answer? He can just beat him to death. He has this power.
But generally few people would do such a willful thing.
Because in that case, he would be a full-fledged tyrant: he could be moody, and even someone like the Chief of Ceremonies, the Eunuch, and the Admiral of the East Factory could be beaten to death for no reason or for any reason he could find. In this case, everyone in the palace will be in danger, and the consequences will be more serious. This can be known from the fact that tyrants in history basically never ended well.
Zhang Mingwei, who was standing next to him, saw Emperor Chongzhen's embarrassment, so he came to his rescue and shouted at Wang Dehua: "As the admiral of the East Factory, you failed to supervise the officials, and even colluded with them to accept bribes. The national affairs are so difficult. In this situation, if you only care about personal gain, do you deserve to die?"
For these people in the late Ming Dynasty, there is absolutely nothing wrong with deducting this crime!
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhang Mingwei with a hint of approval and gratitude in his eyes. Then when he lowered his head and looked at Wang Dehua, his eyes burst out with anger again, and he snorted heavily, which was regarded as a response to affirm what Zhang Mingwei said.
Wang Dehua had a little difficulty listening, but he still understood Zhang Mingwei's words and suddenly felt that he had been wronged. The matter of collecting money is all public. Who doesn’t want to collect money?
Besides, it wasn't always like this in the past, but why did you suddenly start to worry about this? If this really happens, who can escape?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhang Mingwei. He didn't know the origin and couldn't tell. Then he looked at Wang Chengen who had already walked in front of him, and quickly cried to Emperor Chongzhen: "You deserve to die, this slave has a little money. But, and The matter of collusion between foreign officials is a slander. The slaves have always behaved themselves, just like everyone else in the palace. If Long Live the Lord doesn't believe it, you can check the slaves and the prince, they must all behave in the same way."
Although there are some cases of collusion with the foreign court, they must not be admitted on the surface. As for the matter of greed for money, everyone in the palace was involved. For this reason, he dragged Wang Chengen into trouble. If you really want to investigate this matter, you should also investigate Wang Chengen. Then it depends on whether you, Wang Chengen, are afraid?
Not to mention, it is one thing for Wang Chengen to be loyal to Emperor Chongzhen, but there is definitely something about him being used to make money. At this time, being bitten by Wang Dehua really shocked him.
After hearing Wang Dehua's words, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Wang Chengen, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
Thinking about himself, he really racked his brains for money and food!
When he had no money, he even melted down all the gold and silver utensils in the palace to use as military expenses. Even if the clothes underneath were torn, the queen would still ask the queen to mend them before wearing them again, in order to save some palace expenses. It turns out that you are doing well, but you are still making money?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen was really angry. But his real purpose in dealing with Wang Dehua was not money. Besides, there is actually a huge difference between Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen.
Now that Wang Dehua has involved Wang Chengen, it is obvious that he has the same intention. As for the matter of greed for money, either they will deal with it together or they will not deal with it at all. If Wang Chengen was fine and Wang Dehua was beaten to death, who in the palace would be able to obey?
Of course, this was just Wang Dehua's little trick to survive in death. Emperor Chongzhen really didn't follow this principle, so he was unreasonable. Killing him wouldn't be a big deal at all. Unless something like this happens often, then everyone will be in danger.
However, even his little trick was broken by Zhang Mingwei, who then said: "The money of the prince is prepared for His Majesty, and will be used for state affairs later."
When Wang Chengen heard this, he immediately looked at him gratefully. Compared with money, of course he valued the relationship with the emperor more, and was unwilling to have a rift in the relationship with the emperor.
It's this strange person again! In Wang Dehua's heart, he couldn't help but hate Zhang Mingwei. However, at this time, he had no chance to bite Zhang Mingwei. He had to get through the difficulties before him.
Fortunately, he had rich experience in his career, so he immediately reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Long live Lord, the little money I have is also prepared for Long live Lord. I think that when Long live Lord needs money urgently in the future, I will give it to you." Long live the surprise."
Emperor Chongzhen is not a three-year-old child. He was surprised when he said he was surprised? If you believe it, there will be a ghost!
Zhang Mingwei didn't want to give up to people like Wang Dehua, so he suggested to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I suggest that the prince and his father-in-law check his property, and check everything except salary."
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately nodded and asked Wang Chengen to inspect Wang Dehua's property overnight.
After hearing this decree, Wang Dehua knew that this was a power grab and was specifically targeted at him. It was probably Wang Chengen, the bastard, who had found this person from nowhere to make the plan. He was in trouble at this stage.
He wanted to fight back, but he couldn't think of any way to fight back. Everything I can think of has been used just now.
It wasn't until he was dragged out by Wang Cheng'en's people that he suddenly remembered and cried loudly: "Wang Cheng'en led people to bewitch Long Live Lord and stayed in the palace late at night. He must have ulterior motives and must have a plan. Long Live Lord, please be careful..."
It was generally impossible for outsiders to stay in the palace, so Wang Dehua had no other choice but to use this attack.
However, he did not know that Zhang Mingwei was not introduced by Wang Chengen at all, but appeared in front of Emperor Chongzhen out of thin air and had nothing to do with Wang Chengen.
In this regard, Wang Chengen naturally knew that Wang Dehua's attack would be useless. Just when he was about to happily follow him out on errands, Zhang Mingwei suddenly spoke again and stopped Wang Chengen, obviously having something to say.
