Chapter 749: The dragon has a third eye

Before dawn, Emperor Chongzhen changed into a wardrobe under the service of the palace maids, and came to the East Warehouse of the Ganqing Palace surrounded by the palace maids and eunuchs. He sat for a while, drank half a cup of fragrant tea offered by the palace maids, and then went to the Danban to worship the sky.

At dawn every day, the emperor worships the sky and does not play music as usual. However, the bronze incense burners such as cranes on the Danmu are lit and agarwood are sprayed with smoke. Some of the eunuchs and palace maids in the Ganqing Palace are kneeling on both sides of the Danmu, and some are kneeling under the Danmu. No one in the entire palace courtyard dares to walk around casually, no one dares to speak in a low voice, no one dares to make a sound, and a solemn one.

When Chongzhen knelt three times and kowtowed to the sky on the smoke-filled Danmu, he was as pious as before, but his mood was very different. Since he reached the top at the age of seventeen, he had to worship the sky every day, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. If there was a strong wind or rain or snow, he could not worship the Danmu, so he worshipped in the main hall of the Ganqing Palace.

He believed that God's will is in line with the hearts of the people, and respecting God can only love the people. He was determined to be a wise saint who revived the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, for nine years, he has worked hard to govern state affairs every day. Even if he reviewed documents at night and approved memorials until he went to bed late at night, as usual, he got up at dawn, and the first thing he did was to worship the heavens.

In the past, when he worshiped the heavens, he either silently prayed for the victory of "suppressing the thieves" or the "East Captains" without police. In short, they all prayed for one wish: the country is prosperous and the people are safe. Today, Chongzhen's thoughts on worshiping the heavens are much simpler. He just hopes that Zhang Zhun and other traitors will be struck to death by lightning. As long as they are struck to death by lightning, the world will be much more pure.

There were several old eunuchs who stood closer, thinking that the emperor would not forget to worship the sky at dawn in such a difficult day, and thinking that the emperor worked hard for nine years, without any contribution, and worked hard. Unexpectedly, he was like this today, and the state affairs continued to fade and there was no light at all. They couldn't help but cry quietly, and some old eunuchs even choked out.

Among these old eunuchs, Wang Chengen's mood was the most complicated. He saw Chongzhen diligently dealing with political affairs every day, and even almost quit women. Such a diligent emperor was afraid that among all the emperors in history, he was the first. However, God was unable to get along with Chongzhen. The more diligent Chongzhen was, the darker the state affairs became.

Wang Chengen really couldn't understand what was going on? Could it be that God is going to perish in the Ming Dynasty? After a moment of silence, Wang Chengen said bitterly: "Your Majesty, you have already worshiped the sky, please rest in the warm room!"

Chongzhen seemed not to hear it, and still prayed in his heart that God would pity him for nine years to respect the heavens and the ancestors of the law, and he would eat at night, for fear of passing away, so that he would bless him to overcome the current difficulties. He also called on God to bless Huang Taiji's troops to evacuate Beizhili as soon as possible...

Wang Chengen said softly again: "The emperor has been having trouble sleeping and eating for several days, and he still has to deal with unexpected events today. Please go back to the warmhouse to rest!"

Chongzhen was shocked and thought that the words of Dajiao made sense, so he got up from the worship mat and walked into the warm room to rest. After eating Tremella Bird's Nest Soup and two snacks, two palace maids came in. One brought a cup of warm tea with a silver tray and knelt in front of him. The other was kneeling a palace maid, holding a silver tray with a silver tray to rinse the bowl. Chongzhen rinsed his mouth with the warm tea, spit in the bowl, and then leaned on the dragon chaise, sighing deeply.

The current state affairs made Chongzhen very worried. Before the Tartars retreated, the Hu Ben Army pressed forward step by step. He received a notice from the Jinyiwei that the Hu Ben Army had actually garrisoned troops in Dagukou. What is Dagukou? It is the gateway to Beijing and Tianjin! He was furious and immediately ordered an investigation into how the Hu Ben Army arrived at Dagukou and why it was to garrison troops in Dagukou.

However, until now, no one has given him a satisfactory answer. The more the people below delayed, Chongzhen felt that the more strange it was, and the more he wanted the Jinyiwei and Dongcheng to investigate, and he must give him an answer. Chongzhen is a little suspicious, and he feels something is wrong, and he is going crazy to seek the truth. He always feels that everyone is hiding him.

A eunuch came in, knelt down, and said in a proper manner: "Please have breakfast in the emperor!"

Chongzhen was thinking about when Huang Taiji could leave Northern Zhili, and once the Tartars left Northern Zhili, how would he face Zhang Zhun's crazy erosion and how to eliminate the Hu Ben Army stationed in Dagukou. Therefore, not only did he not hear the words of the imperial signs asking for the Zaola, but he didn't even notice that the eunuch kneeled in front of him. When the eunuch asked him to have breakfast for the second time, he understood in his heart and shook his head and said, "Forgive!"

The eunuch was shocked, afraid that he would not hear clearly, and was about to invite the emperor to go to the main hall for dinner again. Then he saw the emperor waved his hand in an extremely irritable mood and said impatiently: "The breakfast is free, go down! Go down! Go down!"

The imperial sign dared not speak, so he kowtowed and left. Wu Xiang, the eunuch in charge who was waiting outside the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, knew that the emperor refused to eat breakfast, and even said three times in a row, he sighed in his heart. The emperor was so irritable, how to deal with state affairs? There was no way, but Wang Chengen came from behind the Qianqing Palace.

Chongzhen looked listlessly at Wang Chengen, continued to review the memorial with a red pen, and asked lazily: "Big partner, what bad news is there?"

Wang Chengen hurriedly said, "Prince, it may be good news."

Chongzhen frowned, not even bothering to lift his head, and said weakly: "Good news is good news, bad news is bad news. What does it mean that it may be good news? You should not make up any jokes to deceive me. I have no intention of listening to jokes today."

Wang Chengen came forward and said with relief: "The Emperor, Luo Yangxing, the Jinyiwei's report, said that the Tartars... might have retreated."

Chongzhen's heart suddenly jumped, and the vermilion brush in his hand fell on the table. With no notice, large buns of ink were rendered open like this, very abrupt. Even because Chongzhen's movement was too big, ink splashed on the dragon robe in front of him, just between the two longans. It looked like it was like a dragon with a third eye. However, Chongzhen did not notice it at all.

Jianlu retreated?

Chongzhen subconsciously stared at Wang Chengen.

If someone else, even if Gao Qiqian reported this, he would think that the other party was lying and was trying to comfort himself. However, he believed that Wang Chengen would not speak easily. Wang Chengen was a typical honest person, and he would never talk nonsense about things without foundation. He said that the Tartars might retreat, so it might really be retreating.

Huang Taiji finally gave up the disaster of this disaster. Suddenly, without warning, Jianlu was about to retreat? Is Jianlu unable to hold on? He had to retreat? Maybe the news came too suddenly and Chongzhen could not believe it at all. At the same time, he was also worried about gains and losses. If this was fake news, he would be terrible.

Chongzhen even had a little doubt that he had some hallucinations when he worshiped the sky just now, so that such a thing happened. When he worshiped the sky just now, he was still praying that God would let the Tartars withdraw as soon as possible. As a result, the Tartars retreated just after the worship of the sky was finished. Even if God really blessed, it would not be possible that he would appear so soon, right?

"Call Luo Yangxing!"

Chongzhen finally came to his senses and screamed.

Wang Chengen couldn't help but frowned. He was rarely seen in this action, especially in front of Chongzhen. However, at this moment, Wang Chengen didn't care about so much. Because Chongzhen's voice was too sharp, even sharper than those little eunuchs. At first glance, he thought that some eunuch was calling people!

Luo Yangxing had been waiting outside for a long time. After receiving the order, he hurried in to pay a greeting. He knew that he would be happy to send his news. Therefore, the commander of the Jinyiwei at this moment was very comfortable. It was indeed not easy to be able to give the good news to the emperor in front of Wu Mengming. Although Wu Mengming was the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei and his deputy, he had been appreciated by Chongzhen for several consecutive events recently. Luo Yangxing was very worried, for fear that Wu Mengming would take over him.

When Chongzhen saw Luo Yangxing at the sight, he asked in a hurry: "Where did you get the news from? Is it reliable?"

Luo Yangxing said affirmatively: "Reliable!"

Just as we were about to report in detail how reliable the news of the Tartars retreat was, suddenly, a scream came from outside, but it was Wu Mengming's voice: "You let me see the Emperor! You let me see the Emperor! I have a big report! Your Majesty, thousands of joys, thousands of joys, the Tartars retreat! The Tartars retreated!"

Chongzhen felt a thud in his heart, and he still didn't believe his ears. Could it be that Huang Taiji really retreated? Could it be that Bai Tianzhen will appear so soon? Could it be that his national destiny will gradually be reversed from now on?

At this time, the screams of the eunuch of the East Factory, Zhang Yixian, came from outside: "Old Master, I have good news and urgent notice! The Tartars are retreating! The Tartars are retreating! The Tartars are retreating! The Tartars are retreating! The Tartars are retreating! The Tartars are retreating!”

A huge joy surged from Chongzhen's heart and rushed to the top of his head, almost storming Chongzhen as if he was about to faint. The Jinyiwei came to report, and the Dongchang came to report again, and the news must be sure. Even if Chongzhen was suspicious, there was no longer any doubt at this time. Huang Taiji finally retreated. Damn Jianlu finally gave up and got out of Beizhili.
