Chongzhen has been very busy recently, very busy, to the point of being exhausted!
Because of Li Zicheng and also because of Huang Taiji.
These two close confidants of Chongzhen seemed to have discussed it, and they all started to run against Chongzhen.
One was due to internal troubles, the other was due to foreign invasion, one suddenly began to expand its power aggressively and occupied the Shaanxi area, and the other began to quietly stare at the nine important areas of the Ming Dynasty, with ready troops and horses ready to attack at any time.
After Kou Bian's move, there was no way the wizards over at Huang Taiji predicted that this winter would be a cold winter that would be difficult to withstand for decades. The food reserves in previous years would not be enough this year. What should I do if there is not enough? Cold salad! Grab some.
Go if you have money and food! Chongzhen also got this news, so this time Huang Taiji was not bluffing, but had to rip off Chongzhen in order to survive!
One of the two, Chongzhen, had a hard time dealing with it. Now that the two of them teamed up to hug each other, Chongzhen felt that he couldn't play anymore. It was really terrible!
In the past year of the Ming Dynasty, because the drought in Shaanxi has been alleviated, Chongzhen was diligent in his administration and issued many policies to benefit the people. Many refugees returned to their hometowns to renovate the abandoned fields. It was now the beginning of autumn, when the harvest began, and people's hearts were at peace.
Many, there has been a scene of prosperity and great rule. As long as Chongzhen is given three years, no, two years of breathing time, the Ming and Shaanxi areas will be completely peaceful, and the Ming Dynasty will gradually stabilize. At least there will be no internal worries.
, Chongzhen was much more relaxed when it came to dealing with foreign troubles!
However, due to the quarrel between Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji, Chongzhen returned to the pre-liberation period overnight and resumed the patchwork activities of repairing holes.
Chang Xiao came back from the palace and was still worried about this matter in the car. He couldn't see Chongzhen being too good, but he also couldn't see Li Zicheng becoming Huang Taiji. It would be better if Li Zicheng and Chongzhen were at each other's throats and both sides would suffer. Any other party would be too powerful.
, is a very bad thing for Chang Xiao.
When Chang Xiao's sedan was about to arrive at the gate of Chang's mansion, Allen's carriage just happened to drive from the other direction of the alley. In this way, Allen's carriage just happened to block Chang Xiao's way home.
Allen showed his head from the carriage, with a friendly smile on his face, and said first: "Is that Mr. Chang in the sedan in front?"
Chang Xiao in the sedan showed a helpless smile, this stubborn foreigner was really difficult to deal with.
He now had every option to disappear from the sedan chair and tell the bearer that he had gotten off the sedan halfway, but Chang Xiao was really a little curious in his heart as to what the foreigner wanted to do with him.
After all, the timing of Al's search for him and Bao Bao's death were perfectly coordinated. Not only were the officials suspicious, but even Chongzhen privately asked him if Bao Bao's death was caused by Chang Xiao. Chang Xiao was really dumbfounded.
.
At first, Chang Xiao thought that Allen was looking for him, wanting to get back from him the few pitch-black angels that attacked him but were killed instantly by him. Now it seems that the situation is obviously not that simple.
Chang Xiao walked down from the sedan chair and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Bishop Ai. I wonder what Bishop Ai has to do with Chang." Chang Xiao did not go around in circles. He was afraid that he would confuse the stubborn Allen by going around in circles.
Yes. So I asked directly.
A look of joy appeared on Allen's face, and he quickly got off the carriage and said with a smile: "Mr. Chang, I do have something to discuss with Mr. Chang." As he spoke, Allen looked around, and then said: "Mr. Chang.
Sir, why don't we find a place to talk in detail." Allen obviously didn't have the ability to talk in circles and said directly.
Where else to look for in front of the Chang family? This is because I want to go to the Chang family for a secret conversation.
Chang Xiao thought for a while and then said: "Bishop Ai, if you have any questions, we can talk on the street. There is no need to look for other places!" Chang Xiao has a sensitive status now. He has great ambitions and doesn't want to be here.
Such nonsense left a shadow on Chongzhen's heart. Naturally, it is best to speak in front of the blue sky and white sun. If the other party cannot speak in front of the sun, then there is really no need to listen to him if he laughs all the time.
What's more, only a few officials in the entire court of Chang Xiao's family have ever entered, and the rest have never entered. They were even beaten away from the home by servants of the Chang family. No matter who entered his home, it was so invisible.
Among them, it means that the relationship between this person and Chang Xiao is extremely close, and Chang Xiao does not want to give such an impression to others.
And Chang Xiao really doesn’t like a foreigner entering his home.
Allen's face froze slightly when he heard this. What he wanted to say really couldn't be told to the blue sky. Allen hesitated for a moment and then whispered: "Mr. Chang, I think we should take a step to talk. Here...
It’s really inconvenient, I think…”
Allen was hesitant, as soon as he saw what he was going to say, he couldn't see it clearly, and Chang Xiao suddenly realized that what the other party was going to say would be a trap, at least it would not be of any benefit to him. Chang Xiao immediately felt uncomfortable even listening to it.
No more, he waved his hand and said: "Since it's not convenient to say it, forget it. Master Ai, I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave."
As he spoke, Chang Xiao walked past Allen and entered the Chang Mansion directly. Allen couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.
Allen's face turned red and blue. Being rejected by Chang Xiao in public was like a slap in the mouth. This was the second best thing to driving him away in the street.
If he didn't only know Chang Xiao, a guy with extremely high cultivation and the power to fight against the Holy Cult, he would never see Chang Xiao again!
At this moment, Allen suddenly had an idea in his mind and suddenly thought of a strategy. He could simply ask Chang Xiao to cooperate with him. Allen's face immediately lit up, he glanced at the door of Chang's house, snorted coldly, and muttered: "
If you don’t drink the toast, you will be fined with wine!” Then Allen got into the carriage and said: “Go to the palace!”
Immediately, Al's exotic carriage started and passed by Chang Xiao's sedan chair.
There are many officials in front of the Chang family, as well as a lot of people. Even these people shook their heads when they saw this scene. This Bishop Allen is really not very reliable, with all the yin and yang on his face.
On the surface, it is far behind Ball's smoothness and sophistication. It is even worse than Chang Xiao, who is about the same age as him and even looks a few years younger than him!
Three days later, Chang Xiao was summoned into the palace by Chongzhen.
In the imperial study room, the serving maids and eunuchs had been dismissed. What Chang Xiao didn't expect was that there was an Al sitting next to Chongzhen's imperial desk.
This is the honor given by Chongzhen to the bishop of the holy religion. He can sit under the emperor. This is actually not a big deal. After all, high-ranking figures from both Taoism and Buddhism can receive such treatment.
Ai Er's face was filled with a proud smile, looking at Chang Xiao, which made Chang Xiao have an unpleasant feeling that he was falling into some kind of trap.
While Chang Xiao frowned slightly, Chongzhen had already raised his head from the memorial. After glancing at Chang Xiao, he focused his attention on the memorial again and said, "Bishop Ai, please tell me!"
Allen stood up and said: "Lord Chang, I have informed the emperor that deep in the hell of my holy religion, there is a kind of snake fruit, which has the power sealed by God. Once a person eats this snake fruit, he can have it."
Like demonic power, now the Almighty God will give this power to the emperor's heroic warriors. In this case, these warriors will have a powerful force that is one against ten, thus helping the emperor defeat those humble enemies!"
As Al said, he looked at Chang Xiao, feeling secretly proud in his heart, "I didn't have a chance to see you, but I finally created a chance to see you, but you ignored me. Now I'm going to go directly to your boss and your emperor."
, let’s see how you reject me!” Originally, he tried his best to promise Chang Xiao a benefit to ask Chang Xiao to take action and open the door to hell. But now it seems to him that he doesn’t need to give Chang Xiao any benefit, so he can ask Chang Xiao to take action.
!My original self was really too stupid!
Chang Xiao frowned slightly and glanced at Chongzhen. Chongzhen said nothing and was still reviewing the memorial. He seemed to be waiting for his opinion.
Chang Xiao knows very little about the things in this Western sect. He only knows that Adam and Eve were indulged by snakes and ate an apple, thereby gaining wisdom and understanding shame. Finally, they were kicked out of the Garden of Eden after being blamed. This snake fruit seemed to
It's this kind of thing. From this story, I often feel that the God of this holy religion is too petty.
Chang Xiao understood what Chongzhen was thinking at this time. Chongzhen was now in a desperate stage, with internal and external troubles at the same time. This Ming Dynasty was riddled with holes. How could it withstand it? If there really was something that could improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers, it could help him.
In order to eliminate internal and external troubles, Chongzhen was willing to take any risks and must get it. Presumably, Chongzhen was silent at this time and already wanted to get this so-called snake fruit.
Chang Xiao thought for a while and then said: "I wonder what harm this snake fruit will do to our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty after eating it? It is not that there are no such treasures in the Middle Earth. For example, treasure pills can help ordinary people increase their strength, but as far as I know
As far as I know, this kind of stuff cannot be swallowed by ordinary people at all. Once ingested, it can temporarily increase the strength, but soon the body will be exploded by the effects of the medicine. If I, the Ming Dynasty soldiers, are harmed in this way, I am afraid that the emperor will not forgive me.
you!"
After hearing this, Chongzhen put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Allen.
Allen wasn't just talking nonsense, this snake fruit did exist, but there was only one plant in hell, with only one fruit on it.
This snake fruit was indeed sealed in the abyss of hell by God, and it contained power that did not belong to this world. It was something that only beings at God's level could possess.
In Middle-earth, such objects are called elixirs or fairy treasures. Such things are simply not enough to be swallowed by the entire Ming Dynasty warriors. In the war between gods and demons fifty years ago, there was an existence in the realm of Gangqi.
He swallowed the elixir and eventually exploded to death.
Naturally, the snake fruit cannot be eaten, but Allen does have a way to make the Ming warriors ten times or even a hundred times stronger.
This is very simple. As long as the gate of hell is opened, then those beings in hell come to this world and need a host to store their souls, demons and ghosts. Then this soldier of the Ming Dynasty is naturally the best choice. If someone in hell
If all the beings are among the warriors, then he, Allen, can become the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. By then, this rich civilized country of Middle-earth will become his possession. Perhaps the Ming Dynasty can also be changed.
It's called the Kingdom of Ellen or something like that.
Thinking of this, Allen's heart became hot, and he felt more and more that he had been extremely stupid before. He actually wanted to ask for Chang Xiao, which was really ridiculous.
Allen cleared his throat and said: "Your Majesty, this snake fruit is the fruit eaten by Adam and Eve recorded in the Bible. Ordinary people eating this fruit can increase their wisdom, strengthen their body, and even increase their longevity. Moreover, this
Everything is harmless, completely harmless. If it is harmful, perhaps the effect of the medicine will gradually disappear after three generations. The extended lifespan of the descendants of these soldiers will be shortened, return to their original appearance, and their physiques may also change.
It's worse. Although I can't be a sergeant, I can still farm."
Chang Xiao glanced at Chongzhen, and Chongzhen's eyes flashed slightly. This flash of light was caught by Chang Xiao. Obviously, Chongzhen now is not worried about what the sergeant will become after three generations. After all, if something goes wrong,
, Chongzhen's generation is about to be destroyed. For an emperor, everything is centered on rule. If his own rule is gone, then everything is gone.
