Hao Guangming was startled when he saw it. He hurriedly supported Zhu Aiao and asked urgently: "What's wrong with you?"

"Suddenly I felt dizzy and sleepy."

As she spoke, Zhu Aelao's beautiful eyes opened and closed several times, as if her upper and lower eyelids were fighting, obviously trying her best to resist sleepiness.

In this situation, even though Hao Guangming was holding the girl's body, he was not distracted, but thought: Could this be the limit for her to travel through, right?

Then is she dizzy and sleepy because the number of times she has traveled has reached the limit for one day, or is it because it is too frequent?

Thinking of this, Hao Guangming helped Zhu Yulao to a chair and said, "Sit down and rest for a while to see if you can recover."

Zhu Aelao nodded and sat down obediently.

Then she fell asleep as soon as her head rested on the back of the chair.

But where could the back of the chair support her while sleeping?

Soon her head slipped down and she woke up again.

Seeing this, Hao Guangming said, "How about you go to bed and lie down for a while?"

"Yeah." Zhu Ayao responded softly, her pretty face blushing slightly.

Seeing that she was about to move, Hao Guangming stopped her, "Wait until I make the bed."

After saying that, Hao Guangming took out an old quilt from the cabinet and put it on the bed. He also sent out a new sheet and laid out a new quilt.

Then he helped Zhu Ailao to bed.

Although Zhu Aao trusted Hao Guangming, as a young girl, she was still wary and did not sleep in his bed.

However, her wariness was no match for her sleepiness. After trying hard for a while, she still fell into a deep sleep.

Hao Guangming pulled up a chair and sat in the room, using his mobile phone to search for more information about the late Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, I was thinking about what to do with this unexpected encounter.

···

Ming dynasty.

Wuying Palace.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Li Ruolian, has great literary talents!"

Three men dressed in the uniforms of imperial guards knelt down and saluted Chongzhen.

Chongzhen glanced at the three of them, and finally fixed his eyes on Li Ruolian in the middle.

Although Li Ruolian was wearing a hat, he could not hide his frosty white hair. But looking at his crotch, it was clear that his body was still strong.

"Li Aiqing, if I remember correctly, you are a Jinshi of Wanli Wuchen, right? How long will you live this year?"

Li Ruolian didn't know what Emperor Chongzhen meant, so he replied bluntly: "Reporting to your Majesty, I am indeed a Jinshi of Wanli Wuchen Kewu. I am 78 years old this year."

Chongzhen nodded, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

Li Ruolian is so old, so it stands to reason that he should retire and be raised in honor.

But in the past few years, he really had no one to use, so he had to let Li Ruolian take charge of Nanzhen Fusi. Not long ago, he also asked him to also head the Minister of War.

This is considered reuse.

Li Ruolian died in battle and martyred his country, but he did not let him down.

"All three dear ladies, please rise up and answer your questions."

The three of them stood up in response.

Among the other two, Wang Guoxing and Gao Wencai are both middle-aged.

Wang Guoxing is currently the commander of Jinyi's personal army. He can be said to be the most trusted person by Chongzhen. He is currently in charge of the defense of the imperial city.

Gao Wencai is a Qianhu official in Nanzhen Fusi under Li Ruolian.

Signaling Wang Chengen and the two eunuchs guarding the palace to keep an eye on the palace gate, Chongzhen whispered: "I have received reliable information that Luo Yangxing has secretly communicated with the thieves. Now Li Aiqing and Gao Aiqing are going to capture him with my orders.

In addition, there is another decree here - Li Aiqing will take over the position of commander of Jinyiwei, and Gao Aiqing will take over the position of commander and commander of Nanzhen Fusi."

After saying that, Chongzhen handed Li Ruolian the imperial edict that had been written and sealed.

After Li Ruolian received the imperial edict, he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, I think Luo Yangxing has done his best in defending the city these past two days. Is he making a mistake in secretly communicating with the thieves?"

It's not surprising that Li Ruolian questioned Chongzhen, it was really because Chongzhen was too suspicious and he had done too many things in recent years.

Moreover, Luo Yangxing also participated in the defense of the city these past two days. If the intruders really communicated with each other, the intruders might have captured the outer city by now.

Chongzhen had indeed already thought of his words and said: "Maybe I am wrong, but this matter is related to the safety of the capital. I would rather catch the mistake than let it go."

"I understand."

Li Ruolian said this and immediately resigned.

Chongzhen thought: Luo Yangxing didn't understand Li Chuang, but according to what Mr. Hao said, he would surrender and become a slave in the future and be reused.

Jiannu was the greatest enemy of the Ming Dynasty in the future - since Luo Yangxing might surrender to Jiannu, he could not keep him.

Because as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, if Luo Yangxing surrendered to Jiannu, the harm to the Ming Dynasty would be great.

After Li Ruolian and Gao Wencai left, Chongzhen said to Guoxing: "The safety of the imperial city is entrusted to Aiqing."

Wang Guoxing immediately knelt down and said: "I will defend the imperial city to the death!"

Chongzhen helped Wang Guoxing stand up, and then called Wang Chengen over, saying: "The king's heart is very corrupt, and the Jinyi army sent people to cooperate with Wang Daban to check him out."

Hearing this, Wang Guoxing and Wang Chengen couldn't help but tremble.

Because they are also greedy.

They didn't know how Chongzhen could confirm that Wang Zhixin was extremely corrupt, so they were naturally afraid.

Chongzhen had been the emperor for seventeen years after all. He noticed the change in the expressions of the two men and guessed something.

He is so poor that he really hates all corrupt officials in his heart.

But he also knows that there are too few officials who are not greedy.

Given the current situation, it is impossible for him to catch every corrupt official, otherwise there would be no one available.

So he said to Wang Cheng'en: "Wang Daban, just go and investigate. No matter what is found, I will bear it for you."

Wang Chengen thought of Chongzhen's various irresponsible behaviors in the past, and he did not believe Chongzhen's words.

But he was indeed loyal to Chongzhen. Even though he knew that it might harm him, he still responded: "I obey the decree."

When Wang Cheng'en and Wang Guoxing left, Chongzhen couldn't help but look around the palace and muttered: "Why did Ainao stay away for so long this time?"

Then his mind shifted to other things.

He did not ask Wang Dehua to investigate because Wang Dehua was currently the commander-in-chief of the East Factory and the military supervisor of the internal and external armies (general commander). The eunuchs who assisted in city defense were also under his command. It can be said that his position was extremely high and powerful, and it was difficult to tamper with it.

.

He planned to wait for Luo Yangxing and Wang Zhixin's matter to be finished, and then remove Wang Dehua and arrest him.

Chongzhen waited for a long time, but Zhu Yuyao still didn't come back. Fan Jingwen, Ni Yuanlu, Li Banghua, Shi Bangyao and others who had previously sent the imperial edict arrived one by one.

But Chongzhen did not expect that Fan Jingwen, the only cabinet minister among these people, would be helped in.

Seeing that Fan Jingwen was looking haggard, as if he was about to die, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with Fan Qing?"

A captain in Jinyi who supported Fan Jingwen said: "Long live the report, Fan Ge's family said that he has not eaten in the past three days."

Fan Jingwen then knelt down with a general cry and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am useless... I can't retreat from the enemy... and the capital is in danger..."

When Chongzhen saw Fan Jingwen crying bitterly and unable to speak a word, he felt so sad that he couldn't help but want to cry.

But thinking of his daughter's adventure, he was not completely disappointed after all, and sighed: "Come here, help Fan Qing to rest, and then bring Fan Qing a bowl of porridge to eat."

In fact, since the intruders besieged the city, he hasn't had a good meal for a day or two.

With the danger of national destruction and death weighing heavily on his heart, he couldn't feel hungry at all.

Looking at the remaining people, Chongzhen hesitated for a moment and said: "Ni Yuanlu and Li Banghua listen to the order, and I order you two to enter the cabinet immediately.

In addition, the chief assistant Wei Dezao was dismissed, Chen Yan was also expelled from the cabinet, and the position of chief assistant was temporarily taken over by Fan Jingwen."

After speaking, Chongzhen handed Li Banghua the imperial edict he had written while waiting for others.

Li Banghua subconsciously accepted the order, and then he couldn't help but advise: "Your Majesty, the intruders are now besieging the capital. The situation is extremely critical. Such a wanton change of ministers is not conducive to the stability of the people."

After hearing this, Chongzhen frowned and said: "It is precisely because it is an emergency that we have to do extraordinary things! As for the instability of people's hearts, wouldn't it be possible to stabilize the hearts of ministers if we don't change them? Or in other words, I love you at this critical moment.

Don’t you dare to take on the important responsibility of a cabinet minister?!”

"I have no such intention!" Li Banghua expressed his stance first, and then said: "I accept the order!"

Chongzhen nodded, but then took out a written imperial edict and handed it to Li Banghua, saying: "In this edict, I have appointed you as the crown prince, Taibao, governor of the capital, commanding all military forces inside and outside the capital, and asked Ni Yuanlu to assist you."

After saying that, Chongzhen also glanced at Ni Yuanlu and said: "I hope that the two beloved ministers will do their best to defend the capital. Even if it is impossible to defend, if you defend for one more day, I will have more hope for the Ming Dynasty!"

The two of them didn't know why Chongzhen said this, but they felt Chongzhen's excitement from his words, and they felt a little cheered up in their hearts.

They immediately received the order and said: "I will do my best and die!"
