Chapter 435: Passing the stage of painting cakes, the Chen family is stunned(1/2)
Xu Changqing has encountered a crisis, and he has never skipped a pit. In life, how can he remember without jumping into a pit?
These are also valuable experiences in life.
However, at this time, even though Xu Changqing had already expected that Emperor Chongzhen might have an ambush and would be very likely to tear his face apart, he did not expect that Emperor Chongzhen would be so anxious and so irritable that he would not finish a word and there was no room for buffering!
At this time, there were at least fifty or sixty people around, all of whom were tall and big, with excellent equipment, and all kinds of weapons, which almost shackled Xu Changqing in the middle from the top, middle and bottom.
However, Xu Changqing soon noticed that these people looked very intimidating on the surface, but many of them were incorrect in their postures of using swords and guns, and they obviously had no experience.
Some people even pretended to be vicious on their faces, but their hands and feet were trembling with trembling.
Xu Changqing quickly understood that these people were not warriors, but ninety percent of them were "Han generals" in the ceremonial field. They were all a group of rich people.
But these bird guns, especially those crossbows, are still quite threatening.
Because of Tang Yu, Xu Changqing also knows this thing very well. Even if the crossbow cannot break the armor at such a close distance, it will be enough to kill people whether it is shot into the arms or thighs.
Especially these new recruits have no experience. If they lose control and get out of control, Xu Changqing's physical fitness will be plagued!
"Emperor, I, don't you understand what you mean?"
All of this was just a flash. Xu Changqing's heart had sunk to the extreme. He was extremely busy and slow. He raised his hands carefully, signaling that he would stand up without any weapons or danger, and look respectfully at Emperor Chongzhen.
Sitting there was no chance to resist. Standing up, with Xu Changqing's skills, it was not impossible to find an opportunity.
"Oh."
Emperor Chongzhen sneered and counted down: "Xu Changqing, I ask myself why you are so sluggish! But why are you so slow in the battle in the northwest? Knowing that the main force of the thieves has entered Shanxi, why don't you go to rescue? The situation is declining, and many officials have died in battle, and the country of the Ming Dynasty is shaking. In the past, although I have received many memorials impeaching you, I have told me countless times that you have respect for your own troops, but after you have made contributions to my Ming Dynasty and are a nobleman, I have tolerated you! But at this time, my Ming Dynasty has reached such a land, how can I tolerate you again?!"
As he said that, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and seemed to be about to order to take action.
"Your Majesty, please wait, can you listen to me?"
Xu Changqing was almost wet with cold sweat at this time, so he hurriedly spoke.
"snort!"
Emperor Chongzhen swept over Xu Changqing coldly: "It's already like this, what else do you have to say?!"
Xu Changqing swallowed with some difficulty, his nerves had never been as tense as at this time.
At this point, Xu Changqing also had a lot of understanding of Emperor Chongzhen's personality. This man was a man who was eager for quick success and was extremely arrogant and low-key.
In this state, it is useless to show the truth to him. If you want to pass the test, you can only draw a cake first!
"Emperor, I am indeed guilty. I blame me for wanting to solve the problem too much and I have always wanted to break the core of the thief. Unfortunately, the thief is cunning and has a natural danger in Tongguan. I have paid a lot of money in these days, but I have never gained anything.
However, Emperor, I will ask Emperor to give me another chance!
Although the bandits are known as one million troops, they can actually fight only 30,000 to 50,000 troops. As long as they can find flaws and defeat the core of the bandits, the bandits' million troops are just a native of chickens and treacherous dogs!
As long as the court can properly resettle them and reduce their taxes, they will surely stabilize them. With the examples of these people, such as the thief, Luo Rucai, He Yilong and others, there will definitely be chaos within them. If our army wants to defeat them, it will be much easier.
In this way, the troubles of the thief who had been in trouble for more than ten years in the Ming Dynasty will definitely be fundamentally eradicated!
The emperor, the capital is my great city of Ming Dynasty. The city is high and thick, with well-guarded food and grass reserves, and they are far from being comparable to ordinary cities. Just give some time.

, I will definitely give the emperor an explanation!
Otherwise, if the emperor does not need to do anything, the minister will commit suicide and sacrifice his country, and will not insult the reputation of his ancestors..."
After saying that, Xu Changqing hurriedly knelt on one knee, with tears and snot in his eyes and kowtow heavily.
"Um?"
Emperor Chongzhen's brows were twisted into the word "Chuan".
Even though he really wanted to do Xu Changqing directly and turn the model army into his own use, Xu Changqing's words just scratched his itch.
It is indeed not difficult to kill Xu Changqing at this time, but Xu Changqing brought out the model army. Can he control it in the shortest time?
What if there is a mutiny?
Over the years, although Emperor Chongzhen's behavior and thinking are no different from that of the past, many things have become the yellow flowers last night.
Emperor Chongzhen now also understands that trying to get rid of Xu Changqing is completely different from that when he got rid of Wei Zhongxian.
No matter how strong and arrogant Wei Zhongxian was back then, he was known as the "Nine Thousand Years Old", but he was just an eunuch without eggs. All his power was given to him by the royal family. To put it bluntly, he was a dog of the royal family. After leaving the royal family, he would not count anything.
But Xu Changqing in front of him seemed incomparable.
Especially Xu Changqing's idea of quelling the thieves from the root really made him very moved!
No matter how you calculate it, now, the only one who has the ability to do this is Xu Changqing, who is known as the "No. 1 General of the Ming Dynasty" in front of him...
However, although I was touched, Emperor Chongzhen was the emperor after all, and his face was greater than the sky. He looked at Xu Changqing coldly and said, "Brother Zhongyi, I know that you are still loyal. My family, Zhu and Xu, have been united in the same hatred for the enemy for hundreds of years! But, when you were in the camp, you obviously didn't wear armor, so why did you come to see me in armor?!"
As soon as he heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, Xu Changqing's heart that had been hanging in his throat was slightly relieved. Ninety percent of this level was about to pass.
He hurriedly said respectfully: "Emperor, I don't know why, but as soon as I arrived in the capital, I got some rumors. These rumors are all said with a nose and eyes. Even if I have a clear conscience, I can't stop people from being afraid..."
As he said that, Xu Changqing hurriedly told Emperor Chongzhen about the rumors from the outside world.
"Yes, is there such a thing?"
Emperor Chongzhen frowned tightly, and he was a little ill.
Xu Changqing hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, whether this matter is true or not, you will know at the first question!"
Emperor Chongzhen's face turned ashen, and he looked at a head of the Thousand General Officer coldly: "Zhang Liang, is this happening?"
Zhang Liang was born in the British Duke and was not a legitimate son. However, since the 17th and 18th review, he has been with Emperor Chongzhen. Although his skills are average, he is trusted by Emperor Chongzhen and is also very honest.
He said with a hurried awkwardness: "Original, indeed, there are indeed such rumors in Beijing during this period..."
"Play!"
Emperor Chongzhen directly smashed the teacup on the imperial case on the corridor column beside him: "Who?! Who is it? Who is it? Who makes such rumors?! Investigate, and investigate me hard! No matter who is found, this matter will not be over!"
...
Leaving the Palace of Yangxin and walking into the green tiles and red walls again, feeling the cold but extremely free cold wind, Xu Changqing felt like he was a reincarnation, and his whole body was already wet, but he seemed to have no idea.
Emperor Chongzhen did have one or another problem.
But, he is the emperor, the king and the father, and the symbol of supremacy and orthodoxy!
If he really wants to treat himself, even at this stage, he really doesn't have any good way to deal with it...
This reminded Xu Changqing that the most beautiful word used in later generations to describe it: "A false alarm."
This incident also made Xu Changqing even calmer. In the current situation, we must be calm and calm, cautious and cautious!
No matter how careful it is, it is not an exaggeration!
Otherwise, it is not just a matter of "no carelessness, the whole game will be lost"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Love, including the entire nation, is about to collapse!
...
Time goes forward.
Just as Xu Changqing entered the palace, the atmosphere in Chen Mansion not far from the palace was peaceful and quiet.
The charcoal fire in the brazier crackled, dispelling the bitter cold outside, as if two worlds, the precious ambergris from the Arabian Gulf emitted a scent in the study, and everyone's mind could easily calm down.
Chen Yan, the second assistant to the cabinet today, is enjoying the perfect massage from two pretty maids while leisurely reading a book.
From time to time, I put my slightly cool hands into the maid's clothes next to me to feel the more comfortable temperature.
At this moment, the greeting of the youngest son Mr. Chen suddenly sounded outside the study, "Father, the news is coming."
"Um?"
Chen Yan was clever, and the old man subconsciously pinched the maid next to him. The maid was so sad that tears were about to fall, but she didn't dare to speak out, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
After a moment, Chen Yan took out his big hand and waved his hand impatiently: "Go down."
"yes……"
After the two maids left the secret passage of "Golden House Hidden Girl", Chen Yan then called Mr. Chen in.
As soon as he entered the door, the excitement on Mr. Chen's face could not be concealed, "Dad, Xu Changqing has entered the palace! Hehe, this time, even if he has wings, he will never escape!"
“Calm.”
Chen Yan gave Mr. Chen a blank look: "How do you teach you for your father? A man has a heart for the world, and the mountain of Tai collapses before his face remains unchanged. Don't let others know what you are thinking."
"Uh, it's..."
Mr. Chen hurriedly bowed deeply, and had to admire his cunning. Compared with him, even though he was much stronger than his peers, he was still as tender as a small white onion.
After putting on his father's airs, Chen Yan asked Mr. Chen to explain in detail.
After Mr. Chen hurriedly drove Xu Changqing to the capital, he reported everything to Chen Yan. After thinking about it, he said, "Dad, when the emperor takes over the Model Army, do we also need to control some of it? The Model Army is the most powerful army in the world."
"childish."
Chen Yan sneered: "The emperor is planning to do it himself. Do you think he will hand over these treasures to others? Don't seek death!"
