"Zihou." Ni Yuanlu looked at Yan Fei with a serious expression, "You want to be Cao Mengde?"

"It's nothing." Yan Fei waved his hand with a smile. "If I really have this intention, I will be Wang Mang directly. It's so boring to be Cao Cao."

Ni Yuanlu breathed a sigh of relief, took the tea handed over by Dong Xiaowan and took a sip before looking at the woman who was serving the tea and pouring water. He was surprised that Yan Fei actually let the woman appear in the military camp, and this era is very taboo.

Yan Fei smiled at Dong Xiaowan and asked her to go back. After the woman left, she looked at Ni Yuanlu seriously. "Mr. Ni, don't worry. The reason I did this is simply to avenge. These people stole my things and killed my people, and even my home was burned. The court said they wanted to discuss, and His Majesty said they wanted to study. But I can't wait. I believe that revenge is not overnight. Since Your Majesty and the court cannot make decisions for me, I will do it myself. It's that simple."

Of course, things will not be that simple, but Yan Fei did not need to explain in detail to Ni Yuanlu.

"But you even killed Mr. Zhou." Ni Yuanlu still couldn't understand Yan Fei's boldness and arrogance. "There are so many royal relatives and ministers, oh by the way, you still detained the British Duke and the others? This, this, this is too much."

"There is a cause first, then there is a result. Why can't I do the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar?" Yan Fei shook the wine glass in his hand and responded casually. "Okay, it's pointless to say these things after all. The emperor is still the emperor, the court is still the court. What do you think of me?"

At this time, Ni Yuanlu had no other way except sighing. The Ming army all over the world had nothing to fight at this time. All the Ming army that could fight was basically wiped out except the Guanning army. In other words, no one in the world could deal with Yan Fei and his army.

Since he couldn't beat him, and Yan Fei did not really plan to usurp the throne, what else can he do? He could only comfort him well.

"By the way, we beat Li Zicheng. The court wouldn't have any expressions, right?" Yan Fei sneered, "The reward for dealing with Liu Fangliang last time has not been received yet. If I had been dragging this way, I wouldn't guarantee that the soldiers under my subordinates would cause anything."

What else can Ni Yuanlu say? She can only sigh and say goodbye to the emperor to ask for this reward. Even if she can't afford the money, she will be promoted and promoted. If Yan Fei comes again and breaks through the imperial palace, the Ming Dynasty will really lose all her last trace of shame. Although there is not much left now.

However, before Ni Yuanlu left, she left a bunch of bananas in the coffee table fruit plate, saying that she had taken them home for her grandson to eat. Yan Fei was so amused and asked someone to send a truck of fresh fruits and vegetables to Ni Yuanlu's house.

"This traitor!" When Ni Yuanlu entered the palace and found the emperor for this reward, Emperor Chongzhen was furious. "You dare to ask me for a reward? I wish I could put him in the heavenly prison now!"

"Your Majesty." Ni Yuanlu sighed, "General Yan also has his own difficulties. Although he did something wrong, he has made great contributions to the state. If he continues to force him at this time, he may really force him to do whatever he wants."

"Your Majesty." Wang Dehua, who was also here to report on his work, hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him, "Then Yan Fei's troops were strong, and 20,000 people fought hundreds of thousands of them to death. If he wanted to do something that could not bear, the state would have no choice but to do anything to him."

Wang Dehua means that people are holding guns in their hands. We can't beat them, so we should focus on comforting them now. If Yan Fei really rebels, it will be a landslide. Yan Fei's army is outside the city!

"Big partner, what do you say?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen who was standing aside.

Before, the capital was destroyed, and when the palace was surrounded, only eunuchs and Jinyiwei were guarding him. This incident had a great influence on Emperor Chongzhen. At this moment, he trusted eunuchs and Jinyiwei very much.

Chongzhen, who had been emperor for more than ten years, is no longer the naughty man he had just ascended the throne. He knew all these things. He just couldn't let go of the tone in his heart. When Yan Fei's troops surrounded the palace, his despair almost made him collapse. And recently, it was not just Empress Zhou, but many concubines who were killed by Yan Fei or thrown into the punishment camp were crying to him, and Emperor Chongzhen was almost annoyed.

"Your Majesty." Wang Chengen, who has been highly valued recently, saluted respectfully before he slowly spoke, "The Ming Dynasty has no army that can be fought now. I won't say anything about Guanning Army. Your Majesty knows what they are."

"Hmph." When it comes to Emperor Chongzhen of Guanning Army, he turned black. This warlord army had long hated him but had no choice but to deal with others. In Emperor Chongzhen's heart, Yan Fei and Guanning Army were of the same level, but Guan Ning Army was far away in Shanhaiguan and Yan Fei was under his nose.

"Since we can't take Yan Fei, we can only temporarily slander him first. We can't force him to break up and do something big." Wang Chengen continued to say his thoughts. "Although he defeated the rebellion, there is a Guanning Army and a Jianzhou Tartar slave outside the pass."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard Wang Chengen say that he could not force Yan Fei to turn against him, Emperor Chongzhen remembered that day, which was like a mountain collapse.

When Yan Fei's army came outside the palace, Emperor Chongzhen really had the desire to die. He even found his wife and children to prepare for his whole family to die. He was not willing to think about the pain and fear of facing death and the destruction of the country and the failure of the mountains and rivers.

Wang Chengen's meaning is very clear. We can't beat Yan Fei now. But there are also Ning Army and Jianzhou Tartar slaves who are stronger than Guanning Army. They must be fighting the death of Yan Fei.

"The Tartar slaves will break through the pass and rob, and then let Yan Fei resist." Wang Chengen looked calm and looked at his toes. "If you lose, you will naturally not say anything. If you win, you will probably have to lose both sides. At that time, you will be summoned to discuss with loyal and righteous people."

Ni Yuanlu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything. He wanted to tell the emperor that Yan Fei was the pillar of the Ming Dynasty and could not deceive him behind his back. He wanted to tell the emperor that Yan Fei's strength was strong and he must not be underestimated. He wanted to tell the emperor that if he wanted to fight against the snipe and the clam to make a profit, he had to be the fisherman first!

What is there in the Ming Dynasty now? Apart from the many big headscarves waiting to be officials, there is no money, no food, no food, no soldiers, no soldiers, and there is nothing. Recently, I have even lost face!

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he stretched his eyebrows and looked at Ni Yuanlu, "Your beloved, go back and rest first. I will consider the reward for this rebellion. By the way, Wei Qing... Alas, I will take the matter of the cabinet from tomorrow. No matter what, I must let the court run first."

Wei Zaode, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, was implicated because his servants participated in the looting of department stores. After the servants were executed, Wei Zaode was not dead but was thrown into the punishment camp. This is because in history, he died after surrendering to Li Zicheng and did not have time to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, he would not have the chance to survive.

The dignified prime minister was locked up and had to do hard labor, which not only made the court lose face but also made it impossible for the court to continue to operate.

Emperor Chongzhen still trusted Ni Yuanlu, especially Ni Yuanlu won both times as the supervisor, and even more so, he was the emperor's heart. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen asked Ni Yuanlu to temporarily act as the chief minister of the cabinet, and it would probably take a short time to remove the word "agent".

After Ni Yuanlu left, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the two trustworthy eunuchs beside him and asked in a deep voice, "Don't the soldiers under the thief know loyalty? Don't you know that you are loyal to the emperor? Are they still soldiers from Shenji Camp? They are still not Jing Camp!"

What Emperor Chongzhen felt very angry was that Yan Fei was the deputy general of Shenji Camp, and his troops should be all from Shenji Camp. But why did the soldiers of Shenji Camp obey Yan Fei's orders and attack the capital and besiege the imperial city? This is how they have received the emperor's kindness from generation to generation?

After Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen looked at each other, Wang Dehua still responded, "Reply to Your Majesty, those soldiers are not actually soldiers from the Beijing camp. They are not even on the roster."

"What?!" Emperor Chongzhen looked surprised.

"Those are all private soldiers recruited by Yan Fei privately." Wang Dehua replied softly, "Those are all Yan Fei's servants."

"This traitor!" Emperor Chongzhen slapped the table with a hatred, and then asked, "Can you pull it over? I will definitely give you a reward if you find the generals to ask them to pull out the troops."

Nothing is a reward. The rats who are poor in the treasury and the treasury have moved, where are the rewards? Wang Dehua complained in his heart, but he had to respond, "Your Majesty, I have been in Yan Fei's army. The generals in his army do not have much power. All the people's logistics and pay are controlled by Yan Fei."

After a pause, Wang Dehua had to say something that made the emperor embarrassed but had to say. "Even new recruits in Yan Fei's army can get a monthly salary of five taels of silver. In addition, all food, clothing, housing and transportation are provided by the army, and even family members can get a lot of benefits."

Emperor Chongzhen's expression suddenly darkened.

The salary of the Ming army was very low. Even if a soldier of the Qi family, known as the elite, died of about ten taels of silver in a year. And it still had to be converted into food, cloth, or even money.

The corruption of the Ming Dynasty was so serious that it was shocking. Even if you didn’t mention the matter of drinking soldiers’ blood and plundering them all over the place. Even if you could get the full amount, the grain was basically aged grain with mold and sand mixed with sand, and the cloth was all ragged moldy cloth bitten by mice. As for the Ming Dynasty’s treasure banknotes, they were even the same level as waste paper.

The new recruits from Yan Fei can get five taels of silver a month. What do you rely on to win over them? Brother?

"This traitor!" Emperor Chongzhen's face turned red and white, gritting his teeth, "You are so rich?"

"Your Majesty, we can actually use other methods." Wang Dehua smiled strangely and lowered his voice. "I heard that Yan Fei has not married yet, Your Highness..."

Emperor Chongzhen raised his hand and asked Wang Dehua to speak out, and then stood there quietly as if thinking about something.
