4 Five Gold Medals

At the end, Emperor Chongzhen asked loudly in an almost roaring tone.

Yang Sichang could no longer stand when he heard this. His legs were weak, he knelt down and his head fell to the ground. He was in panic and did not dare to argue again. The emperor had said so clearly that even the fool would not think that the relationship between the Ming and the Qing dynasties could be peacefully coexist!

The emperor was furious, and everyone around him knelt down, including Cao Huachun. At this time, he didn't dare to look up at Emperor Chongzhen. He felt the emperor's fierceness and power. For some reason, he thought that it was Taizu possessed?

Emperor Chongzhen was on the throne and looked down at the kneeling minister below. He stared at Cao Huachun with a special look, thinking in his heart that his performance just now should also shock him!

Thinking of this, he turned to look back at Yang Sichang and said coldly again: "Think about it carefully, did the Jianlu army invade the pass several times when our Ming Dynasty finally suppressed the thieves? You thought about it, right?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen paused, and then said loudly: "Why did Jianlu do this? Isn't it just that I don't want my Ming Dynasty to be in peace and to cause chaos to the Ming Dynasty, and it would be better that the Ming Dynasty will become more and more chaos! Now, have you really figured it out?"

"There is no more wise than Your Majesty!" Yang Sichang crawled on the ground, watching his sweat dripping on the ground and did not dare to wipe it. His voice replied with a slight trembling voice, "Your Majesty cannot give advice. The criminal is still in a mystery without knowing it!"

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that he confessed his guilt, he calmed down and said seriously: "This is also Taizu awakening me. Okay, let's calm down!"

When they heard this, both Yang Sichang and Cao Huachun were shocked. I have to say that when Emperor Chongzhen said this, Taizu's dream was emphasized in their minds again. To be honest, if you think about it carefully, it seems that Emperor Chongzhen did not have this knowledge before. Could it be that Taizu's dream was really awakened by the emperor?

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen's momentum also changed a lot and became wise. If they said that they had changed suddenly, they would not believe it. But if it was Taizu's dream that influenced Emperor Chongzhen, it would be possible.

You know, Taizu was a person who became the 95th emperor in the last dynasty! Which founding emperor is as powerful as Taizu in all dynasties?

Thinking of this, the two of them really believe it!

After everyone in the Wenhua Palace stood up as they were spoken, they unconsciously held their breath and respected Emperor Chongzhen a lot.

Emperor Chongzhen on the imperial throne saw a pool of sweat stains in front of Yang Sichang, and pretended not to see it, and ordered Yang Sichang: "Shu Lu's army is too small and he cannot resist the Jianlu army. The situation is dangerous! According to my wishes, you will draw an order and send it to the Shu Lu as soon as possible!"

"I obey the order!" Yang Sichang did not resist this time, and immediately agreed and hurried back to the cabinet to draft the order.

Only Cao Huachun is left in Wenhua Hall.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen didn't say a word and just looked at him.

In just a while, Cao Huachun felt that Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were as solid as the essence, making him feel uneasy. For some reason, Emperor Chongzhen at this time made him feel awe.

When Cao Huachun thought of this word, he suddenly realized something, as if he had lost the awe he should have since no idea when he had begun.

While he was thinking, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be chatting and suddenly asked, "Brother, what do you think about what happened just now?"

When Cao Huachun heard this, he bowed and replied: "Your Majesty is wise, I admire you very much!"

"Hmm?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little dissatisfied. At this time, he did not need flattery.

His humming made Cao Huachun feel nervous, and he felt that the emperor was not satisfied with the orders, which made the emperor suffer a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Cao Huachun quickly explained: "I just went to the cabinet to issue an imperial edict, and the other two auxiliary ministers were not there, so Yang Ge's troops refused to seek an imperial edict."

"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen hummed again, and he didn't expose it, but he asked a little less, "I'm asking Dalian, you are in charge of the East Factory, can you add to this matter just now?"

Cao Huachun was not stupid. He just didn't think deeply before. At this time, he received the emperor's reminder and immediately came to his senses. He immediately sweated coldly.

You should know that the Qing Dynasty was far away in Liaodong, and was separated by Shanhaiguan. Logically speaking, the news should not be isolated. But why did the Qing Dynasty get the time to get out of time and enter the pass to make trouble when the Ming Dynasty was about to wipe out the thieves? Isn’t anyone informed me of this?

Both the East Factory and the Jinyiwei have the responsibility to investigate, although in this matter, the Jinyiwei may have a greater responsibility. But now, the Jinyiwei commander is not here, and the emperor is asking him, the admiral of the East Factory, if he still has to shirk responsibility, it will cause the emperor's greater dissatisfaction?

Cao Huachun felt Emperor Chongzhen’s dissatisfaction with him. Before this, such a thing had never happened.

If he loses the emperor's trust, he will be nothing, but if he asks him to say something now, he can't say it. In desperation, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Yangge's troops have just refused to be summoned, so this decree will continue. If Director Gao does not call him, or if he misses the decree to convey it, he may also let down the holy will and put Shangshu Lu in danger. Therefore, I am willing to go and supervise him quickly!"

When he heard this, he reminded Emperor Chongzhen that the so-called general was outside and the king would not accept the order. Or, Gao Qiqian did not know his determination and thought he would change his mind, and might then want to negotiate peace. Therefore, even if he accepted the order, he would have many means to restrict Lu Xiangsheng or hesitate, and eventually history would be repeated, resulting in Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen became nervous and temporarily put down what he wanted to say, and immediately nodded and said, "The big partner said it makes sense this time. We must prevent this situation from happening. We immediately pass the imperial edict to Gao Qiqian. The strict edict Gao Qiqian acts in accordance with the imperial edict and there must be no violation!"

Gao Qiqian is a eunuch and the emperor's slave. He only gave Gao Qiqian's will, so he didn't need to be so formal. Gao Qiqian dared not accept the order issued by the emperor directly.

Emperor Chongzhen did not ask Cao Huachun to go in person, but gave him a gold medal and asked another eunuch to rush there quickly, followed the first imperial edict and rushed to Zhending.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen busy with these things, Cao Huachun was still uneasy. Although he found a reason to change the topic, there were still problems. Therefore, he reminded again: "Your Majesty, the war is changing now, and it is very likely that Secretary Lu is no longer in Zhending. If the angel who issued the order cannot find Director Gao in time, there will still be problems, otherwise..."

He felt that if he didn't do anything, he would be uneasy. He had intuition that the emperor was no longer so satisfied with him. Since the emperor cared so much about Lu Xiangsheng's safety, if he could protect Lu Xiangsheng, he might be able to win the emperor's favor again and win the emperor's full trust again.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and felt that it was not safe enough before. Since that was the case, he remembered the fact that Zhao Gou of Song gave thirteen gold medals in a row to chase Yue Fei. OK, since that is the case, I will also get a gold medal.

So, he did not let Cao Huachun go in person, but sent five messengers to find Gao Qiqian with the gold medal, asking him to abide by his will. Even later, his will was very strict, and he clearly stated that if Lu Xiangsheng had something to do, Gao Qiqian would have to pay his life!

Seeing the gold medals being issued, Cao Huachun, who had been watching, was surprised again and again. He deeply felt that Emperor Chongzhen, after Taizu's dream, had already had his own opinions and became completely different from before.

Now Emperor Chongzhen feels like walking on thin ice when he is serving him by his side.

While thinking about this, the eunuch outside the hall came to report again, saying that the three auxiliary ministers in the cabinet requested an audience.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he glanced at Cao Huachun, nodded, and sent an order to summon three auxiliary ministers.
