    In an era when imperial power was supreme, if there was a problem in the government, it was because the ministers were disloyal, and the world was peaceful, because the emperor was wise.  Chongzhen had at least two major advantages over other emperors. The first was that he was diligent, went to court early on time, reviewed memorials until late at night every day, and did not rest even on New Year's Day. People in their twenties and thirties looked like little old men.  The second point is simplicity. Unlike other emperors, he didn't have many money-burning hobbies. He didn't like luxury, and he didn't even covet beauty. He couldn't make a few new clothes all year round, and even wore patched ones.  Even Zhang Ke can't compare to Zhang Ke's diligence and frugality.  It is not easy to replace this ascetic emperor, especially if you want to pay as little as possible. Zhang Ke can only choose to throw dirty water and break everyone's illusions about Chongzhen.  Cao Huachun was locked in a cell. The room was clean and tidy, with a comfortable bed, supplies, and everything.  For the prisoners, it is simply heavenly treatment.  But Cao Huachun had no idea of ??gratitude at all. From the cell next door, screams came from the cell next door.  It was like being in a slaughterhouse, the voice was full of despair and fear, heartbreaking, and extremely painful!  What's even more irritating is that every time a torture instrument is used, the other person will shout loudly so that he can hear it clearly.  "Eunuch Cao, put on the soldering iron!" After saying this, he heard: "Ah!" The screams exceeded the limits of human beings. You can imagine how painful the other party was.  Cao Huachun clenched his fists hard, his nails dug deeply into his flesh, and blood flowed down his palms drop by drop.  It's in the next room.  It was his son, or rather nephew, who was being tortured!  Cao Huachun entered the palace as a eunuch in his early years and remained unknown.  After finally waiting for Chongzhen to ascend the throne, he turned over and was promoted to the position of Royal Horse Supervisor.  After taking power, Cao Huachun immediately ordered a search for his family.  After more than a year of searching, we finally found the original Cao family. His parents had long since died of famine, and his eldest brother had been drafted as a civilian husband.  He also died five years ago, leaving only two nephews in their early twenties to Cao Huachun.  As the Cao family¡¯s last hope.  Cao Huachun absolutely doted on his two nephews. He asked Chongzhen for a decree and appointed the two nephews as commanders. To put it bluntly, they were officials who only received salaries and did not do any work.  He took out a large sum of money.  In Tianjin, he rebuilt the old house, rebuilt the tomb of his parents, and ordered people to find the bones of his eldest brother. He also killed all the officials who had expropriated him and killed him.  According to Cao Huachun's plan, one of the two nephews was adopted into his name, and the other was left to the eldest brother to continue the family line. Both Cao brothers had descendants.  The design was perfect, but after Zhang Ke raised his troops, the Tianjin garrison immediately blocked the roads.  His two nephews were trapped in Tianjin.  He never imagined that meeting his nephew again would be such a scene.  Separated by a wall.  The two nephews were being tortured, and Cao Huachun's heart felt as if a knife had pierced him. When he was sent out of the capital, he was ready to die, even if he was cut into pieces with a thousand knives and axes.  This old eunuch who is used to seeing life and death doesn't care, he will risk it all! ? But it is absolutely unexpected.  Zhang Ke treated him well, and treated him well, but he took action against his nephew. He was simply not a son of a man, not a son of a man!  Cao Huachun's heart was riddled with screams. He went crazy, ran to the wall, punched the soles of his feet hard, and roared hysterically. ? Stretched out his hands and grabbed the wall violently, as if he wanted to scratch it thoroughly, and bright red liquid flowed from his nails.  Cao Huachun was tireless and didn't care about the pain. After a while, the wall was a dark red.  He didn¡¯t have a trace of strength in his body and sat softly in the corner, tears falling down.  "Why bother!" There was a sigh outside the cell door. Zhang Ke asked someone to open the cell door. He walked in slowly and glanced at Cao Huachun who was paralyzed on the ground.  "Eunuch Cao, if you give advice and fight with force, you are talking about courtiers. Why do you, a eunuch, insist on holding on?" Cao Huachun rolled his eyelids, gasped, and sneered: "Zhang Ke, you traitor and traitor! Our family is in ruins.  It's just death in your hands, why harm your family? It's not the work of a hero, a villain, a complete villain!" Upon hearing this, the guard behind Zhang Ke whipped out his saber and pointed it at Cao Huachun.  "What happens to my king is not something that Eunuch Cao can comment on, but you, Eunuch Cao. I didn't want to arrest you, but Chongzhen sent you into my hands. You must be very clear about his purpose, right?" Cao Huachun's nose  He snorted and said angrily: "Zhang Ke, what exactly do you want to say? Our family tells you that even if the head is lost and the blood is shed, our family will not help you slander the emperor." "So tough.  Zhang Ke couldn't help but laugh and said: "Eunuch Cao, don't forget that both of your nephews are in my hands. How can you bear them?"?Life?  " His scarred heart was stabbed again. Cao Huachun's body swayed and he almost fell to the ground. He covered his chest with force, managed to hold on, and smiled contemptuously: "Our family is just a castration, but let Dong Wang use it like this?  Shouldn't our family be happy that they resorted to ruthless means to deal with it?  " Suddenly Cao Huachun's eyes became sharp, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Our family can be today only because of the gift of the emperor. This humble life has long been the emperor's. To die for the emperor is our family.  Desirable.  Even if you threaten our family with someone, our family will not do anything for you.  " When the old eunuch said the last words, his hair and hair were all wet, and he wished he could eat Zhang Ke. " I really didn't expect that Chongzhen had sold you, and you could still be so loyal to him. It seems that Chongzhen was not a failure as a man.  " Cao Huachun snorted coldly, obviously disdainful to answer such a rebellious question. Sun Jiawen stood behind Zhang Ke, looking furious, and said: "My lord, eunuch Ning is stubborn and stubborn, and I have to cut her into pieces because of my humble position.  Cut it into slices and see if he still dares to bite his tongue!  " Cao Huachun's body trembled, and he slowly closed his eyes, looking like he was being slaughtered without any fear. " He is really a man.  Zhang Ke said: "Pass on my order to stop the punishment of Eunuch Cao's two nephews and ask military doctors to treat them."  Bring Eunuch Cao out.  " Someone couldn't help but throw Cao Huachun into the sack, and followed Zhang Ke closely with the sack. After leaving the cell, Zhang Ke found a temporary military camp. He ascended the throne in the Chinese military tent, and Cao Huachun was arranged next to him.  There were soldiers guarding him in the small tent. Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and two people walked in one after the other. The one in front was in his early fifties and full of energy.  The man behind was tall and majestic. When they saw Zhang Ke, they all rushed to their knees.  " Zhang Ke glanced at the two kneeling people. When Qian Qianyi died in the Ming Dynasty, he was not as upright as the emperor. His sentence "the water is too cold" has become a laughing stock through the ages. Surrendering to the Qing Dynasty and betraying the country for glory are even more shameless.  Especially Ruan Dacheng, who was born in Donglin, betrayed Donglin, and then betrayed Nanming. These two guys can be ranked among the top ten shameless people in the late Ming Dynasty.  In front of Zhang Ke, it was really strange, but it was reasonable. They were both losers in the political struggle. They were both dormant in the south. When Zhang Ke surrounded the capital, they unexpectedly ran to the army and wanted to take his place.  At the service of His Majesty the future Emperor. ¡°Two gentlemen, please arise.  " "Thank you, Your Highness.  "The two men got up from the ground. They stood aside obediently. "Two gentlemen, I heard something.  I would like to ask two gentlemen for advice.  "I don't dare. Just say what you say. We know everything and tell you everything."  "Qian Qianyi said first. "Well, a few days ago, someone told the lonely king that it should not be just Qing Jun, because it is not that there is a traitor around your majesty, but that your majesty himself is a villain who killed his brother to seize the throne. The lonely king does not know the truth or falsehood.  I also ask two gentlemen for advice.  "Killing his brother to seize the throne? Chongzhen killed Tianqi. Although Chongzhen wished that his brother had died, he was just a vassal king. How could he have the ability to reach out to the inner court? Can he avoid Wei Zhongxian's eyes and attack Tianqi? No matter what he heard,  It didn't seem true. Qian Qianyi was still hesitating, but Ruan Dacheng was so happy that he hurriedly said: "What the prince said is reasonable. Everyone said that the late emperor died at the hands of the Hakka family. I wonder if the Hakka family was the late emperor's wet nurse and was extremely noble. Why?  The motive behind coming to assassinate the late emperor?  Especially when I heard that the Hakka family had obtained some elixir from outside the palace and offered it to the late emperor, who then died unexpectedly.  May I ask where this elixir comes from?  It may be difficult for the current emperor to exonerate himself.  " "What emperor!  " Qian Qianyi shouted angrily: "Regicide and brother-killing are so heinous crimes that it is difficult to write them down. Such sinners have ruled the Ming Dynasty for many years. I think it is really the shame of our Ming Dynasty. The prince raised an army to eradicate the traitors and rectify the country. It was at that time!  Your Majesty, Your Majesty!  " There is a saying that history is like a little girl who can dress up. Obviously Zhang Ke holds the right to dress up history. If he wants to attack Chongzhen's image, someone will definitely jump out. " Qian Qianyi and Ruan Dacheng have already  They started fighting. One said that he had heard it before, the other said that he suddenly realized it. One said that he wanted to avenge the late emperor, and the other said that the emperor should be replaced. It was better than the cross talk. In the tent next to him, Cao Huachun heard it clearly.  The corners of his eyes were split open, and blood mixed with tears flowed down his face. He really wanted to cry. How could there be such shameless people in the world?Mencius's disciples are full of benevolence, morality, poetry and etiquette.  It is rare to see people who are dirty and dirty, and they keep it in their stomachs.  It's a pity that a piece of human skin is draped on them. They are all ungrateful and shameless!  Cao Huachun struggled to rush into the tent and questioned the two men face to face, but the soldiers on the side held him down firmly and were not allowed to remove the bit from his mouth. Cao Huachun could only be heard whining, and his neck and face turned purple.  "The two gentlemen clearly understand that the lonely king is trying to punish the people and he needs the help of two famous ministers. Please clarify Chongzhen's sins as soon as possible so that you can decide how to deal with it." "Follow your orders!" Two people  They happily accepted the order and could help Zhang Ke kill Chongzhen. They were Conglong heroes and had made real contributions. They would not have no chance of joining the cabinet and becoming the prime minister in the future.  With excitement, the two people immediately asked for orders to go down and write the article, completely unaware of the sneer at the corner of Zhang Ke's mouth.  After taking them down, Sun Jiawen asked someone to drag Cao Huachun up. At this time, the old eunuch was hit hard.  He kept mumbling to himself and said: "Shameless, especially shameless!" "Haha, Eunuch Cao, civil servants are shameless. You have seen it a lot, and I don't want to talk nonsense. They can't ask for anything you don't want to do. I  The king has one final question for you, do you want to continue to be loyal to Chongzhen, or turn against him? "Now that things have happened, do you still have a choice?  Cao Huachun didn't want to compare his integrity with those two. Even a scholar who prided himself on his integrity could do this. There was nothing he, an old eunuch, couldn't do.  "Your Majesty, I will obey the arrangement." Cao Huachun, Ruan Dacheng and Qian Qianyi formed a powerful iron triangle. Three villains, two of whom were outstanding in writing but full of bad ideas, and the other who knew Chongzhen deeply.  The palace secrets are at your fingertips.  The three of them got together and soon made up a lot of jokes in a serious manner.  Not only did he blame Tianqi's death on Chongzhen, but he also revealed that he had 20 million taels of silver in his internal funds. Chongzhen was wearing patched clothes and was just showing off and deceiving the people of the world.  They even took out Empress Zhang and said that Chongzhen behaved like a dog and a pig, and was worse than a beast All these things, as soon as the joke was written, thousands of copies were printed and sent to the capital through merchants, and it soon spread to the streets.  Alleys, everywhere.  People who have not been baptized by the information age are still relatively naive. Faced with overwhelming news, there is always one thing that is true!  There are more people who have long been dissatisfied with the current imperial court. After seeing these things, they immediately pointed the finger at Chongzhen and publicized it everywhere. Within a few days, almost everyone knew about it.  The morale of the military, the people, and morale gradually collapsed amidst this endless bombing.  "Compared with cannons and blunderbuss, the offensive of public opinion can't see the smoke of gunpowder, but its lethality is even more astonishing.  On the third day of the public opinion offensive, in the middle of the night, a basket was tied from the tall wall of the capital city, and a man was sitting in it. After reaching the ground, he immediately ran to Zhang Ke's camp.  The man was arrested by a secret sentry before he ran very far. His body was searched and a secret letter and a city defense map were found.  After questioning, he quickly recruited people. It turned out that he had received a secret order from the Minister of War, Chen Xinjia, to go out of the city to report to His Highness the King of the East on the true situation in the city.  News reached Zhang Ke¡¯s tent, where he was playing chess with Du Qing.  Crackling, the two people were killing each other, and they were having a great time going back and forth.  "Prince Qi, an envoy from Chen Xinjia is here." Zhang Ke listened and just nodded with a smile, "The first one is here, the second one is not far away. Haha, eat your 'cannon'."  Du Qing's eyes widened and he searched all over the chessboard.  "My lord, when did your 'car' arrive?" "It's been here a long time ago, you should give in as soon as possible!" "I think you are cheating, let's keep coming!"  Gradually, the night became quieter, and the two people had already killed each other.  By the seventh game, Du Qing had five notes on his face, and Zhang Ke had two on his face. They were playing happily, but news from outside kept coming.  Some people sent special envoys, while others put the letters in caravans and took them out of the city. In short, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and each showed their abilities.  One night, more than a dozen officials sent documents of surrender to Zhang Ke, willing to act as internal agents to welcome the army into the city!  (To be continued)
