Wang Chengen, who was standing behind Emperor Tianqi, was slightly startled. Emperor Tianqi's face was still full of joy just now, but now his face was actually heavy. In the solemnity, there was still a hint of solemnity, which made Wang Chengen feel stunned.

Could it be that the war on Sun Chengzong's side was not going well? Or was there something wrong?

However, Wang Chengen did not hesitate. After a slight pause, he said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty! I will go right away." After saying this, Wang Chengen walked out quickly.

Emperor Tianqi stared straight at the map in front of him, his eyes focused on one place, and he was silent for a long time. His eyes kept shining with a determined light, as if he was thinking about something, and at the same time, the cold light also kept flashing.

When Luo Sigong and Wei Chao walked in, they felt uneasy. Every time Emperor Tianqi asked them to come together, there must be something big going on. When they saw Emperor Tianqi's appearance, both of them were worried.

Stunned, Emperor Tianqi held the sword in his right hand, with a stern look on his face.

Seeing the look in Emperor Tianqi's eyes, the Wei Dynasty knew that this young boy Tianqi was probably going to make a big move again. When he bloodbathed the palace, Emperor Tianqi had the same look and the same look. But now Emperor Tianqi is more mature, and his gaze

It looks even deeper, making people afraid to look directly.

The two men lifted up their clothes and knelt down at the same time, saying loudly: Luo Sigong, commander of the royal guards, is here to see your majesty, long live my emperor."

"The minister of ceremony, the eunuch Bingbi, and the eunuch Wei Chao have met the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, Emperor Tianqi narrowed his eyes slightly, gently stroked the hilt of the sword with his fingers, and did not speak for a long time.

The two people knelt on the ground motionless. After a short time, there was sweat on their foreheads, but the atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn.

I don’t know how long it took, but Emperor Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief and said in a calm voice: "Both of you, get up!" After saying that, Emperor Tianqi slowly walked up the steps and slowly came to the back of the Long Bookcase.

, gently placed on the dragon chair.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After the two people stood up, they stood aside respectfully, with their heads lowered, not daring to express their anger.

The atmosphere in the hall was very solemn. Everyone did not dare to move, and even breathed very slowly. Wang Chengen, who was standing aside, was surprised. When he was around Emperor Tianqi before, he always felt that Emperor Tianqi was okay. But

Now he finally understood that this young emperor had a different side, that of an emperor.

After a long time, Emperor Tianqi said softly: "Wang Cheng'en, take the people out first! I really have something to say to the two beauties. You take the people to stay outside. No matter who it is or what happens, don't let her in."

.”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief, obviously he had nothing to do with himself anymore. He bowed to Emperor Tianqi, waved to the eunuchs and maids in the hall, and then led the people out.

Wei Chao and Luo Sigong, who stayed in the main hall, were both stunned. The two of them looked at each other. At this time, their eyes no longer had the disputes in the past, but were full of questions. This scene was so familiar that the two of them felt

There was no thought of fighting anymore. It was obvious that something big was going on this time, and maybe both of them would be cooked by Emperor Tianqi.

"My dear friends, it's been a while since I summoned you, right?" After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi said in a calm tone.

The two people looked at each other, and both saw the doubts in each other's eyes. No one spoke, and they all listened quietly to Emperor Tianqi's next words.

Sighing softly, Emperor Tianqi smiled helplessly, and said in a low tone: "Actually, I really don't want to look for you, because as long as I look for you, something will happen, and it must be a big thing, most of them.

Bad things.”

Luo Sigong and Wei Chao smiled bitterly at the same time. They naturally understood that the Jinyiwei was better, and at least they had the name of the emperor's personal army. Although the combat effectiveness of this army needless to say, it still bears the name of the army, but the things it did were not so popular.

The reviews are not good.

Most of the time, Jin Yiwei is against the civil servant group. No matter what time it is, intellectuals always control the direction of public opinion. There are very few scholars in this era. It is very difficult for ordinary people to want to write human characters, and civil servants are

If Jin Yiwei, the representative of scholars, goes against the people who control public opinion, his reputation will not be much better.

Not to mention Dongchang, which has always had a bad reputation. Dongchang monitors hundreds of officials, and most of what they do is shady.

Emperor Tianqi's expression slowly became serious. Looking at the two people below, Emperor Tianqi said in a rather stern voice: "But I can't do it without you. Many times I have things that don't go well with me. Someone who can solve these things for me.

There are not many people, so you are the most suitable candidates, both Jinyiwei and Dongguang are the ones I trust the most."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two men quickly saluted Emperor Tianqi and said respectfully.

Shaking his head gently, Emperor Tianqi stared directly at the two people and said in a low tone: "I trust Jin Yiwei, I trust Dongchang, and I also trust you two. But I said ugly words in front of you, you

Luo Sigong is not a Jinyiwei, and your Wei Dynasty is not a Dongchang. Over the past two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the commanders of the Jinyiwei have changed countless times, but the Jinyiwei is still a Jinyiwei. The governor of Dongchang has changed a lot, but Dongchang is still Dongchang."

After listening to Emperor Tianqi's words, the expressions of Wei Chao and Luo Sigong changed, and cold sweat ran down their faces.

There was Xu Xianchun under Luo Sigong, and Emperor Tianqi thought highly of him, and he might replace him at some point.

Although there was no one under the Wei Dynasty, there was Eunuch Chen Hong and Chen in the palace. This was someone the Wei Dynasty had always been wary of.

The two people also have a common feature, that is, they are both old people. There is an old saying in the officialdom, which is called the emperor and the ministers. Everyone knows this.

Since Emperor Tianqi came to the throne, he has not replaced ministers and chamberlains on a large scale. However, after the last incident in Liaodong, there has been a trend in the court. Sun Chengzong, the chief minister of the cabinet, was promoted by Emperor Tianqi. Including Yang Lian and Zuo Guang

Dou and others, and people in the officialdom also believe that after the imperial examination next year, Emperor Tianqi will promote a large number of new officials.

But for the eunuchs, Emperor Apocalypse could have been replaced a long time ago. After all, every emperor has his attendants who have been with him since childhood, and Emperor Apocalypse is no exception. These people have served them with all their heart for more than ten years, and they have been waiting for this day.

When he ascends the throne, he will definitely use someone he can trust.

However, since Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, he only promoted one Chen Hong, and Wang Chengen was also promoted just now, but both of them are old. Although Chen Hong does not have much status, he is still from the Wanli era after all. Not to mention Wang Chengen,

An eunuch whom Emperor Taichang trusted very much, and who also had a bad record.

If Emperor Tianqi wants to promote his own people, there is nothing wrong with this. Although Emperor Tianqi's words are very reserved, Wei Chao and Luo Sigong are not stupid people, so naturally they will tell the truth. Emperor Tianqi is telling these two people,

If you can't satisfy yourself, there's no need for either of you to do it.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will be ashamed of myself and live up to your majesty's grace!" Luo Sigong said loudly after bowing to Emperor Tianqi.

Wei Chao on the other side did not speak, but the cruel old eunuch kept flashing cold light in his eyes. Wei Chao was different from Luo Sigong. If Luo Sigong returned home, he would probably be able to live a long life. But if Wei Chao went down,

Even if he was sent to Nanjing to keep vigil, he would probably die on the way.

Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "I have entrusted you with many tasks in the past, and you two have done well. I will keep all those who have contributed to me in my heart. But I will explain this matter this time.

Here you go, it must be done no matter what, if you can’t do it, you don’t have to do it.”

After listening to Emperor Tianqi's words, both of their expressions changed, and they looked at Emperor Tianqi with a serious look.

"You two will handle this matter together. No matter who succeeds, each person will receive half of the reward! If neither of you succeeds, then both of you should stop doing it. I don't want to raise waste!" Emperor Tianqi looked at him coldly.

Looking at the two people, his tone was full of solemnity.

"Your Majesty, just give me your orders!" Wei Chao saluted Emperor Tianqi and said respectfully.

After looking at the two people, Emperor Tianqi said in a low tone: "Do your job well and I will not treat you badly. I want to find someone this time. I must find him and catch him! I want to see someone alive.

I want to see the corpse if I die!"

"I wonder who the person the emperor is looking for is?" Luo Sigong's face was also solemn. When he heard that it was the task of finding someone, his heart tightened. Finding someone is the simplest thing, but it is also the most difficult thing.

. Emperor Tianqi is so cautious, it must be the most difficult thing.

Throwing a memorial to Luo Sigong, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Read it for yourselves!"

After unfolding and walking, Wei Chao and Luo Sigong lowered their heads and looked at it. After reading it, neither of them looked very good.

"This time, one of you two will go in person. As for who will go, you can discuss it yourself. I have given you a secret order to mobilize an army of no more than five thousand. If anyone stops or hinders anyone, no matter who they are, they will all be arrested by me.

Get up, even the prince is no exception." Emperor Tianqi looked at the two people with stern eyes and said in a stern tone: "In a word, it is better to kill by mistake than let go, and it is better to suffer in vain than to indulge!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The two men looked stern, bowed to Emperor Tianqi, and said respectfully.

Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "On this trip to Zhangjiakou, we not only want to catch Huang Taiji, but also find out for me the collaborating with the enemy and smuggling there. Of course, this matter is for the purpose of arresting
