Chongzhen was sleeping.

As the emperor, he has been sleeping more peacefully these days.

The situation in Beijing is getting better and better day by day, and good news comes one by one.

This made Chongzhen feel that perhaps the time for the Ming Dynasty to be at its peak was coming.

Suddenly, Chongzhen, who was sleeping, was awakened by a sound.

"Father, Father!"

Chongzhen opened his eyes in a daze and saw Zhu Cilang.

Chongzhen: "???"

Zhu Cilang looked serious: "Father, Li Zicheng has already planned to have a relationship with the traitors in the city, just tonight!"

Chongzhen woke up directly: "What?"

Chongzhen quickly got up, put on a robe casually, and hurriedly said to Zhu Cilang: "Yun'er, tell me carefully!"

Zhu Cixuan said: "This matter is of great importance. Please ask your father to go to the imperial study immediately and wait for the British Duke and Xiangcheng Bo to come to discuss matters!"

A quarter of an hour later, the Imperial Study Room.

British Duke Zhang Shize and Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen have arrived, and two eunuchs, Wang Chengen and Wang Huamin, who are in the palace, have also arrived.

Chongzhen took a deep breath and said to Zhu Cixuan: "What the hell is going on? Let's talk about it."

Zhu Cixuan said to Chongzhen: "It's such a father, Cao Huachun, Zhou Kui and others, who have held grudges towards Erchen since the previous work of helping with the money. Erchen suspected that they would do something unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, so they asked the people from the East Factory to monitor them.

Just now, Erchen got the news that Cao Huachun, Zhou Kui, Wei Zaode and others gathered in a mansion outside Deshengmen, and secretly assembled hundreds of thugs in the mansion. So Erchen was very suspicious that tonight was the day when they wanted to attack Deshengmen and surrender to Li Zicheng."

After hearing these words, Wang Huamin's face changed drastically and his body was shaking.

Originally, Wang Huamin felt that his actions were very secret, but he did not expect that Zhu Cilang would master it in advance.

What should we do now? Wang Huamin was suddenly confused.

Chongzhen was also extremely surprised when he heard this: "Cao Huachun, Zhou Kui, Wei Zaode?"

These three people, one is the candidate used by Chongzhen to replace Wei Zhongxian, one is Chongzhen's father-in-law, and the other is the cabinet chief minister who just replaced by Chongzhen.

It is no exaggeration to say that these three people are at the level of confidant Chongzhen, and now they suddenly hear the news of their betrayal, and they obviously cannot digest it.

Zhu Cilang looked at Chongzhen and suddenly spoke again, throwing out a more important news: "In fact, it is not just these three people, because these three people are no longer powerful now. It is difficult to quietly mobilize hundreds of people in Beijing and conceal their whereabouts. They actually have another helper in the court, and this helper is now standing in our imperial study room, he is—"

Zhu Cixuan pointed his hand at Wang Huamin and said coldly: "Eunuch Wang, the man from Dongchang saw you quietly come out of that mansion and return to the palace. What else do you have to say?"

With Zhu Cilang's voice, everyone's eyes turned to Wang Huamin, and they were shocked.

Wang Huamin is now the second in command of the inner dynasty except Wang Chengen. If he were in the Tang and Song dynasties, he would be considered a deputy prime minister such as Tong Pingzhangshi and the Chief Political Affairs Office. He is now a core member of the central city in Beijing.

Such a person actually betrayed the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to Li Zicheng. It is easy to imagine the shock that it caused to everyone.

Chongzhen's expression had completely changed, and he said coldly: "Wang Huamin, what do you have to say?"

With a thud, Wang Huamin knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, I'm wronged!"

Wang Huamin's face was full of tears, and he spoke with tears in his mouth: "Your Majesty, I have been serving Your Majesty for so many years, how could I betray Your Majesty? I knew that I was blind. A few days ago, I got too close to Cao Huachun and Eunuch Cao, and I helped Eunuch Cao say a few words to the prince, which made the prince dissatisfied with the old slave. However, the loyalty of the old slave to His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty is obvious, and I have never been a traitor!"

Looking at Wang Huamin's performance, a sentence emerged in Zhu Cilang's mind: "Anyone who can hold a high position in politics is an absolute actor!"

This old guy is acting well.

Not only did he express his loyalty, he also blamed Zhu Cilang, implying that Zhu Cilang wanted to attack Wang Huamin because of Cao Huachun.

Chongzhen began to hesitate when he saw Wang Huamin like this.

Cao Huachun and Wang Huamin were both accompanied by Chongzhen when he was still in the palace of the king, and his relationship was very deep.

Chongzhen couldn't bear to drive Cao Huachun to the cold palace. Could it be that he really wanted to convict Wang Huamin?

Zhu Cilang was speechless when he looked at the entangled Chongzhen.

When is it now, I am still indecisive here!

Zhu Cilang spoke: "Father, whether the matter is true is it? You can tell if the troops are sent to the mansion and Deshengmen immediately. The son is not talented and is willing to lead the army to avoid a mistake!"

Zhu Cixuan thought it very clearly. Now is not the time to argue, so he will first solve the problem of Li Zicheng's military attack.

British Duke Zhang Shize hurriedly said, "The prince is right. He is not afraid of ten thousand, but only if he is afraid of one. You can talk about the matter of the prince later, but if something really happens to Deshengmen, the capital will be gone. Please think twice!"

The British Duke's timely assist brought Chongzhen back. He glanced at Wang Huamin who was kneeling on the ground and finally made up his mind.

"Let's do this, Wanger, you and Xiangcheng Bo immediately mobilized five thousand troops to Deshengmen to see if there was any such incident. Duke of England, stay in the palace to preside over the overall situation and prevent the thief from siege from attacking the city from other places. As for you..."

Chongzhen's eyes turned to Wang Huamin and said, "Wang Cheng'en! Take him down and let him take good care of him! After the matter is revealed, I will make a decision."

No matter what, Zhu Cilang is Chongzhen's biological son after all.

Between the slave and his son, Chongzhen was already inclined toward his son, not to mention that Zhu Cixuan's contribution during this period was seen by everyone.

The fact that Wang Huamin could be able to keep Wang Huamin alive instead of taking it or even killing it on the spot was actually a decision made by Chongzhen because of his friendship.

Wang Huamin was stunned when he heard this.

It was a foregone conclusion that Cao Huachun and others gathered troops to cause trouble. If they were sent to investigate, the truth would be revealed in minutes.

Wang Huamin howled loudly: "Your Majesty, I'm wronged, I'm wronged!"

However, at this moment, Chongzhen was no longer in the mood to talk to Wang Huamin. With a wave of his hand, several guards immediately came up and dragged Wang Huamin down.

Zhu Cilang was also much more at ease when he saw Wang Huamin being dragged away.

Now, the eunuchs who chose to surrender were cleaned up, and internal troubles were eliminated, and they only needed to deal with foreign enemies.

A moment later, Zhu Cixuan took the tiger talisman from Chongzhen and said to Li Guozhen: "Xiangcheng Bo, follow me to the military camp!"
