Chapter 453(1/2)
"Mr. Prince Consort, please wait, please wait, Emperor, the Emperor just went to bed..."
"Get out of the way, the emperor summoned me into the palace. I must meet the emperor immediately and report the matters to the public!"
Just as Xu Changqing was thinking about how to comfort Zhu Moe, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the hall, and Eunuch Zheng was talking to someone.
Xu Changqing certainly understood the voice-over of Eunuch Zheng and kissed Zhu Ma's forehead hard.
Zhu Mai also came to her senses and hurriedly left Xu Changqing's arms, hurriedly wiped her tears.
After a moment, a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance, wearing military uniform, but obviously more bookish, walked up big strolls, and Eunuch Zheng trotted and chased after him.
He turned the corner and saw Xu Changqing and Zhu Mian at first sight. His expression changed slightly, as if he didn't expect Xu Changqing and Zhu Mian to be together.
Xu Changqing didn't know this middle-aged man, but just by looking at his aura, he could tell that he must be a noble man. Just now, Eunuch Zheng called him the prince-consort, and Xu Changqing took a little step back and nodded to the man.
The middle-aged man also came back to his senses and nodded to Xu Changqing with some seriousness.
"Kunxing has met his uncle..."
On this side, Zhu Ma has adjusted a little and hurriedly stepped forward to greet the person.
The middle-aged man hurriedly replied: "Have you met Your Highness the Princess. Your Highness, is the Emperor resting?"
Zhu Mai bit her red lips, feeling a little aggrieved, and said softly: "I just fell asleep. Do you still want to see your father?"
The middle-aged man frowned and said for a moment, "The Emperor just summoned me to the palace. I'm afraid there are some confidential matters, so I'd better go and see the Emperor!"
As he said that, he glanced at Xu Changqing with a slightly profound meaning and strode forward.
Eunuch Zheng hurriedly winked at Xu Changqing and signaled that he would not stay here for a long time, so he hurriedly followed the middle-aged man.
Xu Changqing also frowned a little.
This man looked quite righteous, but he was a fool. Emperor Chongzhen had already fallen asleep in such a state, and he still had to see him. Isn't this causing trouble for himself?
Xu Changqing quickly commented on him: "The status is noble but the attitude is high and the skills are low, so he is destined to be a difficult person."
Zhu Mai also came to her senses and wiped her tears and said, "Xu Lang, the situation has changed today, and there may be some more changes. You should go back soon."
Xu Changqing originally wanted to leave, but seeing Zhu Mai looked like this, she couldn't help but change her mind.
If you continue to push down according to this inertia, Zhu Ma's fate will probably be destined to be in danger...
Emperor Chongzhen could no longer be changed, but Xu Changqing had to take good care of Zhu Mai!
Xu Changqing ignored her words, but took her little hand and pulled her behind a hidden corridor not far away.
Zhu Ma was about to cry down and pushed Xu Changqing away, but Xu Changqing said, "Yuer, who was that person just now? I seem to have never seen him."
The girl was successfully distracted and bit her red lips and said, "It is Gong Yonggu, the prince consort of Le'an, and the current deputy commander of the imperial guards. At the beginning of the year, the father summoned the nobles in the capital to reorganize the imperial guards. Everyone else hid their heads and tails, and only the prince consort of Le'an took on this job."
As she said that, her tone became much gentler and she said softly: "Xu Lang, the prince consort Le'an is this kind of personality, but others are not bad. You, don't be angry with him..."
"The Prince Consort Le'an?"
Xu Changqing frowned even more and fell into thought.
Soon, a lightning flashed through Xu Changqing's mind, and he suddenly became clever. He remembered who this master was!
One of his most famous quotes later was to point to his five children and Princess Le'an and said, "You are all emperor nephews, and you cannot be humiliated!"
After saying that, he poured the spirits on these five children and died together.
If Xu Changqing remembered correctly, Princess Le'an was in poor health at this time and was on the verge of collapse.
Gong Yonggu was indeed the last moment, and he was willing to loyally accompany Emperor Chongzhen and the people who were buried for the dynasty in the Ming Dynasty.
pity.
Just like his performance just now, his integrity is respectable, but his methods are humble, and he is destined to be a burial...

This place is still a little far from Emperor Chongzhen's bedroom, and there is no sound inside. However, Xu Changqing can guess with his butt that the monarch and ministers cannot have constructive results. The best ending is to hold his head and cry.
"Yu'er, I'm a little tired today. Can you send me out of the palace?"
Xu Changqing suddenly grabbed Zhu Ma's jade hand with all his strength and looked into her eyes.
"This... Xu Lang, I..."
Zhu Moe was immediately entangled, and she obviously stayed to take care of her father.
This is also a "deformity" or a specific product in the Chongzhen Dynasty at this time.
The Chinese literati and official class has always been committed to "holding grandsons but not children."
Specifically for Emperor Chongzhen, no matter how much grievance or pain he felt, he would not usually bring it to the harem, even the Eastern Palace.
This also made Emperor Chongzhen's children a little speechless, like rice insects.
Only Zhu Mai-Ching, the daughter, appeared at the right time at the right time, but was closer to Emperor Chongzhen and closer to him.
Therefore, some people later described that their daughter was the father's little cotton-padded jacket.
Emperor Chongzhen could lose his temper with Empress Zhou, and could directly abuse Concubine Yuan and other concubines, but it was difficult to lose his temper with Mama Zhu.
To a large extent, Zhu Ma was also the person closest to him at this last moment, but he was forced to swing his sword at her at the last moment...
Seeing Zhu Mai’s entanglement, Xu Changqing pulled her up and left: “Yu Er, the emperor is stronger than we imagined. There is nothing that can defeat him. He has never seen any storms? Don’t worry, now they are just small scenes, just thieves, and they can’t make a fuss.”
"Xu Lang, really, really?"
Zhu Ma's beautiful eyes lit up obviously.
Xu Changqing smiled bitterly in his heart, but could only continue to brag about Emperor Chongzhen's shamelessness to her.
If Zhu Ma was a mature woman who had seen the world, this trick would definitely be useless, but Zhu Ma Ma was young after all, and her five fingers were not touched by the spring water. At this messy moment, Xu Changqing's words undoubtedly became her greatest spiritual sustenance, almost the last life-saving straw.
Soon, the two of them came outside the Yangxin Palace. Just as Zhu Ma came to his senses and wanted to reject Xu Changqing and sent Xu Changqing away first, they happened to meet Wang Chengen staggeringly.
Wang Chengen was also a little surprised when he saw Xu Changqing and Zhu Mai here, but he quickly adjusted his mind and respectfully clasped his fists at Xu Changqing and said, "Brother, the family heard that the emperor was feeling unwell, so I came here to check it out tonight..."
Xu Changqing nodded: "Prince, Changqing is also wrong in today's affairs."
"Why……"
Wang Chengen sighed deeply: "Changqing, how can you blame you for this? It's just a matter of blame... The person named Tang is so heartless! By the way, Changqing, if the emperor is in poor health these days, the family wants to be here to serve..."
Xu Changqing felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at the old and staggering Wang Chengen.
The old eunuch may have average mental and technical means, but his loyalty is beyond the reach of many people...
After a moment, he nodded and said, "Prince, you should take care of yourself too. By the way, Prince, you must inform the emperor that every line of the capital, including the Guangqu Gate where I stationed, must be strictly guarded and must not make any mistakes!"
Wang Chengen hurriedly focused his attention, "Changqing, don't worry, the miscellaneous family will definitely report this matter carefully to the emperor."
Xu Changqing thought for a while and said, "Prince, it's not enough to report this matter. If it is possible, you'd better take time to inspect it yourself to prevent any incidents!"
"Uh? OK!"
Seeing Wang Chengen staggering into the Palace of Harmony, Xu Changqing once again held Zhu Mai's jade hand.
Zhu Mai struggled for a while, but did not resist anymore. Her beautiful eyes looked at Xu Changqingying's erect face, full of trust and love.
If it weren't for Xu Changqing, she really didn't know what to do.
Although there was no longer Eunuch Zheng escort here, this would definitely not be a problem for Xu Changqing.
Not long after, Xu
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Changqing brought Zhu Mai a dress as a little eunuch. After Zhu Mai changed into it, the two of them went out of the palace together.
Now, even in the palace, Xu Changqing's face is the best and most effective pass.
However, when he arrived at Dong'anmen, Zhu Ma was about to say goodbye to Xu Changqing, but Xu Changqing directly pulled her out of the palace, saying that he would have a midnight snack with him.
Zhu Moe didn't expect Xu Changqing to be so shameless, but at this time he was in the game, he could no longer refuse...
Just when Xu Changqing and Zhu Mai went to a restaurant not far outside the palace and ordered a private room to drink, Gong Yonggu also walked out of the East Warehouse, his eyes were still a little red.
Just as Xu Changqing expected, even if he met Emperor Chongzhen, he had no constructive opinions and could not change anything at all.
This also made Gong Yonggu feel very moved. Why is Xu Changqing more than enough to lead tens of thousands of troops? But he only brought a few thousand people, and he was still very conscious of the troops, but he was in a panic...
This suddenly reminded him of the ancient allusion: "Han Xin ordered the troops, the more he would be better..."
Fortunately, Gong Yonggu was very strong and was not discouraged. He quickly packed up his spirits and murmured: "Bo Zhongyi Bo looks like he can be reliable. Those mud legs are not in the right way after all! Now he can't count on others, so he must resume contact with him as soon as possible. If he can get help from Bo Zhongyi Bo and want to eliminate these enemy forces in Beijing, he will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort..."
Thinking of this, Gong Yonggu quickly accelerated his pace and hurried out of the palace.
That's right.
He is the one who contacted Xu Changqing before.
Since he was ordered by Emperor Chongzhen to reorganize this new army of imperial guards, Gong Yonggu has gradually stepped into the threshold of his career.
With his identity and resources, he quickly got a lot of top-secret things.
Unfortunately, his energy is limited, and even if he knows, it will be of no use. It is impossible for him to defeat those people at all, so he has been seeking help.
In addition to Xu Changqing, he also secretly investigated some people, but they were all useless. Now facts have proved that only Xu Changqing is the most suitable candidate.
To be continued...
