Not long after, Wu Zhong, the general banner of the Jinyiwei, was brought here.

At this time, he had changed his flying fish suit and even settled a rat tail for money. As soon as he entered the account, he fell to the ground with a charming smile on his face and said repeatedly: "I have seen my master, my master Jixiang, my master..."

Seeing him like this, Haoge was stunned for anger. This is the famous emperor's personal army of the Ming Dynasty and the extremely vicious Jinyiwei? No matter how you look at it, you don't look like it! What's the difference between it and the Han people who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty?

Dorgon was also a little surprised, but he was not disturbed. He immediately interrupted Wu Zhong's words and asked coldly: "What's going on with that decree on you?"

When Wu Zhong heard this, he had long expected that it must be for this matter that reinforcements had not arrived for so long. Therefore, he was prepared and immediately started to continue acting.

"Master, I don't know!" Wu Zhong looked unfair and replied hurriedly, "I just follow the orders of the commander and command the commander. I dare not disobey and say that I want to pass the orders to Director Gao, and I can only do it!"

"Don't be a slave. If you want to be a slave, you are not qualified!" Yue Tuo suddenly shouted sternly, "Tell me honestly, did you deliberately deceive us and say there are reinforcements?"

"Slave... No, no, no, the villain even has ten thousand courages and dare not joke about his life!" Wu Zhong quickly cried out, "Actually, the villain is also puzzled. The villain has never heard of reinforcements, but the commander gave such an order. The villain didn't understand it at that time! The villain had already explained to all the masters at that time, and he dared not hide it at all..."

After hearing what he said, Dorgon remembered it. When he was arrested and interrogated, he did say so, saying that he had not heard the relevant news. At that time, he thought it was the Ming court who wanted to keep it confidential.

"Please be kind to you, my masters, never kill the villain!" Wu Zhong seemed to know that the situation was wrong, and begged with tears and tears, "Masters, you can do whatever you want, and there is no other way. May the masters spare the villain's life. The villain is not talented, and is more skilled in interrogation and inquiring about news, and is willing to serve the masters. As long as the masters say one word, go up to the mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire..."

The more you listen, the less you lose your bottom line, and the more you hear, the more disgusting it. Haoge couldn't help but squirt loudly in disgust: "Shut up, you are like a bear, and you dare to go up to the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of ​​fire? Bah!"

But Dorgon felt aroused his heart. The Jinyiwei's trick was established by the Emperor of Ming to control all officials. These things seemed to be useful to him.

Thinking of this, he became moved, but he was silent on the surface, and he just shouted coldly: "You did say that you never heard of reinforcements that day, but just acted according to orders. I am clearly rewarded and punished. If it was not your fault, then you would not have any trouble. Since you surrendered to my Qing Dynasty, then show it well. My Qing Dynasty is not as good as the Ming Dynasty. As long as you make contributions, you will be rewarded."

"Master, wise, the villain understands." Wu Zhong nodded quickly after hearing this, and responded with gratitude, "I don't know how many months my salary has been owed. My family is so poor that I can't afford it. I really can't live. The villain is willing to serve the Qing Dynasty, the villain..."

He said that things like owing wages and military pay were very common in the Ming Dynasty, so these Tartars naturally heard of them. They had seen Wu Zhong's face many times, so they were not surprised at all.

Even Wu Zhong was not very honest in order to survive, so that Haoge, who was originally clamoring to kill him, lost interest in killing him.

Dorgon glanced slightly at the expressions of Yuetuo and others below, and then immediately interrupted Wu Zhong and expressed his opinion: "Enough, noisy, come, take him down!"

As soon as he heard this, Wu Zhong realized suddenly that this level had passed. So he did not resist and was taken away with great gratitude.

After he left, Dorgon frowned and said to Yue Tuo and others: "Then let's act as discussed before!"

In other words, let Yuetuo and Haoge stop Lu Xiangsheng's troops and monitor the Ming army from causing trouble. Then he tried to attack Jinzhou. It would be best if he could defeat him.

In the capital, there was no New Year's Eve atmosphere. In the palace, the New Year's Eve dinner was no different from the past. Emperor Chongzhen sat in the main seat, next to the Empress Zhou, the Crown Prince, other concubines and princes gathered together for dinner, which was also considered meaningful.

Nearly a month after Taizu confessed his dream, Emperor Chongzhen had almost never been with these concubines. Now, looking at the beautiful women in the room, I still feel a little moved. No matter what, he still has great power to be an emperor. If there were no foreign enemies, the emperor would still be very comfortable during the Taiping period.

Although he thought so in his heart, his expression was still very serious on the surface, and he said to his concubines and princes: "The Qing army is still raging around the capital, with many cities being destroyed, hundreds of thousands of people being looted and killed, and the soldiers of all serving kings are afraid of it. It has been more than two months since some serving kings have not arrived and are slowing down on the road. I really think I don't know what they are thinking. This is the case with Taizu's dream. It seems that eight out of ten are really true! Alas..."

A long sigh made the women and children present feel very heavy!

They basically believed in Taizu's dream, after all, everyone had dreamed of relatives like this.

The state affairs are really unbearable compared to the past, and the situation is so serious that they can feel it even if they are in the harem. If someone said that the Ming Dynasty would perish in the early years of Chongzhen, it would be a little dissatisfied, now it is the eleventh year of Chongzhen. No, it is the twelve year of Chongzhen. There are thieves everywhere, the Qing Dynasty is raging but invincible. Natural disasters and man-made disasters can make people feel that they have the last dynasty.

Seeing that the atmosphere was very heavy, Emperor Chongzhen forced himself to smile and said, "But don't worry, with me here, I will definitely use all means to protect the country and the country left by my ancestors!"

He glanced at the people in front of him and his face became serious again, "But the most urgent problem now is that the court has no money. With money, you can pay salary, military pay, disaster relief, etc. Therefore, from now on, everyone will work hard for it. Increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and you can give me any good solutions."

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Empress Zhou, and then glanced at the prince.

Jiading Bo is really not active, and it involves the queen and the prince. However, today's ugly words are ahead, so hello. No matter what, it is, is more important than the country and country left by his ancestors. Even if the queen or prince conflicts with this, it will be useless. I hope that they can remember what they say today and persuade Zhou Kui to be more aware of it.
