Chapter 152 Zhu Ming Migrate South
Emperor Chongzhen asked what happened?
Instead, it silenced Wang Chengen and the Duke of England.
Because they are worried about telling the truth about the matter.
It would make Emperor Chongzhen very angry.
After all, Emperor Chongzhen is still very weak.
Emperor Chongzhen saw that the expressions of those people were not right.
He didn't ask any more questions, but slowly closed his eyes.
Then Wang Chengen asked someone to make a bowl of ginseng soup.
It was given to Emperor Chongzhen to drink.
Then I drank a small bowl of white porridge.
Emperor Chongzhen began to regain some spirit.
He opened his mouth again and asked: "Tell me, what happened during this period of time?
I have been through the gates of hell, and now that I have woken up, there won’t be any major problems. No matter what happens, I can bear it!"
Wang Chengen: "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to find out how you fell into the water. Other things can be discussed later."
Emperor Chongzhen: "Have you found any clues?"
Wang Chengen: "Your Majesty, it's all my fault for being incompetent. After I learned that you fell into the water, I hurried back and controlled everyone who saw Your Majesty that day.
But when I took action, several eunuchs and palace maids had already died in a remote corner. I didn't know whether they were silenced or someone deliberately set up a trap.
The remaining people were tortured severely, but no useful information was obtained from the interrogation. I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Majesty..."
Emperor Chongzhen frowned and recalled.
Then he asked, "Before you took action, were there any Xiao Xianzi, Xiao Guizi, or Xiao Dezi who had died?"
Wang Chengen: "Yes, they were all silenced!"
Emperor Chongzhen: "That's right, I spent half a day reviewing memorials and felt a little tired.
It was spring, the sun was shining, and I went out for a walk. I didn't bring many people with me, just these few servants.
Anyway, I was just walking around the palace, so I thought nothing would go wrong. But when I walked to the edge of the pond, someone suddenly pushed me from behind and pushed me into the water..."
Wang Huazhen: "Your Majesty, was there anyone else nearby at the time?"
Emperor Chongzhen: "No, I didn't see anyone else."
The Duke of Yingguo, Wang Huazhen and Wang Chengen looked at each other.
They both saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.
Things turned out just as they had guessed.
Someone was trying to kill Emperor Chongzhen.
Since eunuchs can be bribed.
Then the imperial doctors in the palace must have been bribed or coerced!
Fortunately, they were decisive at that time.
Just lock up all the imperial doctors.
They were not allowed to treat Emperor Chongzhen.
Otherwise, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely not wake up!
I noticed that the expressions of my three confidants were different.
Emperor Chongzhen asked again, "What's wrong? My dear friends, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Chengen: "Your Majesty, when you fell into the water, I rushed back and the imperial physician was treating you.
At that time, I felt that there was something wrong. Since eunuchs and palace maids could be bribed, the imperial doctors might have been bribed as well.
So I took the initiative to lock up all the imperial doctors, and then invited other doctors from the capital to treat the emperor..."
Chongzhen: "Doctors invited from outside the palace can also be bribed!"
Wang Huazhen: "Reporting to your majesty, after discussing with eunuch Wang, I followed his advice and specifically looked for doctors whose wives and children were all in the capital.
Then invite all of their families to the palace, so that they will not be easily bribed or coerced, and they will do their best to treat Your Majesty."
Emperor Chongzhen: "Well, very good, you have done a great job! Those doctors should be rewarded handsomely, and their hearts should not be chilled!"
Wang Chengen: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will personally apologize to them and give them a generous reward according to the Emperor's instructions..."
Duke of England: "Your Majesty, I suggest that we conduct a strict investigation of those imperial doctors. Perhaps we can get some clues."
Emperor Chongzhen: "Let the East Factory handle this matter, and Duke Ying will be responsible for supervision."
"The minister obeys the order."
"I obey your order..."
End of internal affairs.
Duke Yingguo, Wang Huazhen, and Wang Chengen.
The three of them fell silent again.
Emperor Chongzhen's eyes rolled.
He asked, "What happened outside the palace? Don't hide anything, tell me everything."
Emperor Chongzhen asked again.
The people present did not dare to hide it anymore.
Let’s talk about what happened after Chongzhen fell into a coma.
All told to Emperor Chongzhen...
……
After Emperor Chongzhen heard this.
I thought about it silently.
He asked again, "My dear Lords, do you think that this was done by Mao Wenlong and his men?"
Wang Chengen: "I think it is unlikely, because all the servants who followed the emperor at that time had been in the palace for more than 10 years.
It has been less than a year since Mao Wenlong and his men left the imperial court, and they have occupied Liaodong for less than half a year.
In such a short period of time, Mao Wenlong and his gang will definitely not be able to reach the palace."
Wang Huazhen: “Your Majesty, Mao Wenlong was once my subordinate. From what I know about him, he is not good at these schemes.
Mao Wenlong was a military candidate and has been leading troops in battles. He is relatively straightforward and does things directly. It is very unlikely that he would use such means!"
Emperor Chongzhen: "I also think it is most likely not Mao Wenlong. Putting aside other things, think about your brother's situation at that time. How similar is it to my current situation?
Wei Zhongxian was extremely powerful at the time, but he was unable to find any useful clues. It is normal that you cannot find any. This is not your fault, but the enemy's fault for being too cunning!"
"I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Majesty."
"I am incompetent, Your Majesty, please punish me..."
Emperor Chongzhen sighed.
Then he said leisurely, "Let's not talk about this for now. What else happened outside? Where did Mao Wenlong's army fight to?"
Wang Huazhen: "Your Majesty, Mao Wenlong's army has captured Shanhaiguan. Now the capital is no longer safe. I beg Your Majesty to move south immediately."
Emperor Chongzhen: "It has only been a few days, and Mao Wenlong and his men have already captured Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan!
It seems that the rumors say that the magic weapons in the hands of Mao Wenlong and his men are indeed extremely powerful!
By the way, Otomo, what were you doing when I fell into the water?"
Wang Chengen: "Reporting to His Majesty, my men sent me news that they had something important to report.
The old servant went out of the palace to meet them and said that they had found out about a place called Jiangnan Guild Hall, which had close ties with the ministers in the court and had a considerable influence in the capital.
My men asked me if I should continue to investigate further.
Emperor Chongzhen: "Jiangnan Guild Hall? Jiangnan is a great place!
"I ordered the relocation of the capital to Yingtianfu. I want to go to Jiangnan to see how lawless the Jiangnan gentry are."
