In Nanjing, in the back garden of the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen, who rarely had any free time, suddenly became interested and wanted to take Wang Chaodong, his current confidant, the leader of the imperial guards, to enjoy the flowers.

After all, the Ming Dynasty achieved a great victory on the south bank of the Huaihe River and annihilated 50,000 Qing troops. For the first time since Chongzhen ascended the throne, the revival of the Ming Dynasty has now become the consensus of both the government and the public.

Well, it is said that the number of Qing soldiers and horses that Zhou Shixian annihilated was close to 100,000. When Chongzhen heard the reports from the ministers, it was still 50,000. However, Zhou Shixian initially advertised that the number was 30,000, but in fact it was 30,000.

.....Less than 10,000.

The prince-in-law of the Ming Dynasty was so powerful and powerful, so how could the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty be a powerful person from outside? He was really a traitor who harmed the country before!

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he listened to the public opinions reported by the Jin Yiwei. It seemed that the previous loss of the city, loss of territory, and repeated defeats were really not his own fault, but were caused by mediocre ministers.

However, the Ming Dynasty's consort was so powerful and powerful, which made Emperor Chongzhen feel a little jealous, and even the suspicion that had been accumulated in his heart suddenly burst out again.

"Chaodong, my consort is on the front line, my sword has no eyes, and there are dangers everywhere. I am always worried." Emperor Chongzhen looked worried, looking very worried about Zhou Shixian's safety.

"You said, this prince-in-law doesn't have anyone reliable and close to him. If I want to know the situation on the front line, I don't have anyone who is knowledgeable and decent to send the news back in time... eh..."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty."

Wang Chaodong naturally understood Emperor Chongzhen's hint. He had been a royal guard for so many years, how could he be an honest and responsible person? How could he not be clear about the little Jiujiu in Emperor Chongzhen's heart?

Moreover, Chao Chaodong also had his own little thoughts. Instead of staying in Nanjing and continuing to monitor Chongzhen and the ministers, Chao Chaodong wanted to go to Fengyang. Being away from Zhou Shixian for too long made him feel uneasy, and he was even more worried about the decline of his status in the Prince Consort Group.

In particular, now that Zhou Shixian's new army has once again proven its strength, the Prince Consort Group is at its peak.

"Yes." After hearing this, Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, and felt even more proud in his heart. His confidant was still very effective at doing things.

"Chaodong, go get ready quickly. It's best to leave within the next two days. I really miss my prince-in-law so much. The only one I can rely on, both in the government and in the country, is you."

Emperor Chongzhen's impatient nature could not be changed. Once he determined what he wanted to do, he wanted to get it done immediately and could not wait for a moment.

When Wang Chaodong heard this, he quickly agreed. Emperor Chongzhen had already made his words so obvious, so he didn't have to pretend to be dumbfounded, otherwise he would treat the other party as a fool.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, even to the death."

Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, and then asked about Jin Yiwei's surveillance situation. Ever since he used Wang Chaodong, Chongzhen had enjoyed the pleasure of having the entire dynasty's civil and military forces under his surveillance control.

Of course, most of the time, the pleasure was just because Wang Chaodong had polished it, especially Zhou Shixian's actions. It was Wang Chaodong's cooperation that kept Emperor Chongzhen from becoming suspicious for a long time.

"I still think that a supervisor should be sent to assist the prince-in-law. Shixian is still young after all. If he becomes arrogant because of a small victory and falls into the trap of the Tatars, it will not be good." Chongzhen

The emperor went around in a circle and finally returned to Zhou Shixian.

Not to mention that the dynasty was in trouble, even Wang Chengen on the side could not help but frown at this time. It seems that His Majesty the Emperor will start to intervene in the frontline military affairs again.

Although Wang Chengen was a member of Emperor Chongzhen and Zhou Shixian did not dare to bribe him, he knew his master very well. He actually did not dare to compliment him on his abilities.

Now that I heard Chongzhen say these words, I still didn't know what was going on. Instead, I was a little worried about Zhou Shixian. He didn't understand these political struggles, he only knew that the emperor was supreme, so he felt that as long as Chongzhen took action

, Zhou Shixian could only submit obediently.

"Your Majesty is indeed far-sighted and foresighted."

Wang Chaodong immediately slapped him for flattering him. He naturally wanted to show his support for Emperor Chongzhen. Otherwise, Chongzhen's suspicious character would inevitably doubt his sincerity: "If you want to send a supervisory army, you must send a minister who knows the soldiers."

, just North Korea..."

Seeing Wang Chaodong's puzzled look, Emperor Chongzhen's vanity was even more satisfied. He smiled and said, "Send Shi Kefa. Shi Kefa is the Minister of the Ministry of War. He will coordinate all parties and assist the prince-in-law. In the end,

It couldn’t be more appropriate.”

When Wang Chaodong heard this, he immediately pretended to be enlightened, and then flattered him: "Your Majesty is wise, Shi Kefa is the most upright and selfless man, experienced and decent, and well versed in military affairs. He will supervise the army.

It couldn’t be more appropriate.”

Seeing that Chaodong Chao Dong agreed with his decision, Chongzhen was even more satisfied with this confidant. He nodded and at the same time told him: "Chaodong, you should pay more attention when the time comes. If the prince consort gets angry, Shi Kefa can't stop him. You have to

Many people are helping Shi Kefa. The prince-in-law is now the mainstay of the country. Shi Kefa alone may still be unable to withstand him."

When Wang Chaodong heard this, he immediately responded with his hands clasped, but he had already made a decision in his heart - Shi Kefa was just a gentleman, a sour scholar, but his level of doing things was not high. It was the matter of the Ministry of War.

I need Ni Yuanlu to help me deal with it, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with it. Let him supervise the army, which is just a decoration.

After all, Wang Chaodong felt that he could deal with the Minister of War and the Grand Bachelor of Dongge. For the Prince Consort, it would be easy. It would be up to Shi Kefa to see how he would be in trouble.

It can only be said that Emperor Chongzhen has been the emperor for so many years and almost became the king of the country, but when it comes to employing people, he is still extremely mediocre.

While Chongzhen and Wang Chaodong continued to chat with various ministers in the court, suddenly an eunuch hurried into the back garden and handed an urgent message to Wang Chengen. Wang Chengen did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately handed over the urgent message.

The report was submitted to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen was calm and composed. He calmly opened the urgent report and read it slowly without any change in his expression. After reading it, he handed it to Wang Chaodong.

However, before Wang Chaodong finished reading, he immediately ordered: "Preach my decree and hurry up for eight hundred miles. Xuan Zhilong will set off immediately. I want to see him in person."

After Wang Chaodong read the urgent report, he immediately understood Emperor Chongzhen's intention. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Chief Duduo was indeed very cunning. He didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.
