Chapter 54
His reply was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, hitting the guards in golden clothes in the apse, especially Wu Zhong, the general banner, his face turned pale immediately.

However, Emperor Chongzhen knew Luo Yangxing's answer a long time ago, so he deliberately asked this question, and after listening to it, he confirmed again: "Is it just the two of them?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the matter is very important, and the last general dare not let more people know." Luo Yangxing replied casually, "Therefore, except for the last general, there are only two of them!"

"I see!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said after hearing this, "But I think that we can't just rely on outside the customs to investigate who is cooperating with the captives or the Manchu Manchus are spies in the customs. How to investigate and deal with it in the customs, Luo Qing immediately Go to Dongchang Cao Daban to discuss it, there is no delay!"

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he didn't think much about it, so he left immediately, didn't go back to the Jinyiwei yamen, and rushed to the East Factory.

As soon as he left, Emperor Chongzhen nodded to his servant Chen Baoting, signaling him to bring some people from the back hall over.

"The last general kowtows to His Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" Li Ruolian and others followed into the front hall after a while, and bowed to the emperor together.

Emperor Chongzhen asked them with a smile, and then asked kindly: "Did you all hear it?"

Li Ruolian at this time already understood what the emperor meant by letting them stay in the apse.So when he heard it, he immediately knelt down again and said excitedly: "There is nothing more holy than Your Majesty, the general heard everything!"

Wu Zhong and others also knelt down together, their hearts were hard to calm down.He hated Luo Yangxing for taking all the credit for it, and was secretly surprised that the emperor was so well informed that he was able to gain insight into this matter.

But the Emperor Chongzhen on the throne looked at them with confidence. He didn't let them rest this time, but said to them: "I have been dissatisfied for a long time with what Jinyiwei has done these years! Among Jinyiwei today, you are the only ones He is loyal to me and able to handle things. Therefore, I have something to ask!"

"Please express your Majesty's decree!" Li Ruolian, the leader, quickly replied respectfully.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him, his voice suddenly raised a bit, and his tone became a little passionate: "If I let you be the commander of Jinyiwei, what kind of Jinyiwei can you give me?"

After saying this, Li Ruolian was immediately surprised, and then overjoyed.He was so excited that even though he was already a prudent person, he still couldn't help himself. Knowing that he had entered the emperor's eyes and got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he immediately echoed loudly: "If the final general can lead the Jinyiwei, let the Jinyiwei serve as the leader of the army." Your Majesty's eyes, ears, minions, everything is based on His Majesty's will. If you have selfish intentions, you will die in the future!"

"How to do it?" Emperor Chongzhen was noncommittal, but continued to ask.

Li Ruolian didn't hesitate, and immediately replied: "The last general should be to promote people who can be used, to eliminate those who are corrupt and pervert the law, to sweep away the filth in the current Jinyiwei, and to restore the original appearance of Jinyiwei Nanbei Township Fusi."

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at Emperor Chongzhen. After a little hesitation, he continued: "The last general has been in Jinyiwei for many years, and he knows a lot about various things. Regarding the current personnel and affairs of Jinyiwei, we should change them in a thunderous manner. There is not enough manpower, so they can be selected from the Jinyiwei who have been squeezed out by them. There is a conflict of interests, and the situation is irreconcilable. It should be able to help the general quickly control the Jinyiwei, and truly be used by His Majesty!"

Li Ruolian is also willing to go all out, because what he said these words means that he knows that Jin Yiwei is dead now.But in this way, why didn't he report to Emperor Chongzhen before?This is not reporting the knowledge, and it is actually his fault.If the emperor cares about it, this is a stain.

However, he actually understood that whether it was from the emperor's words or the emperor's previous hiding of them behind the palace, it all showed that the emperor was determined to revitalize the Jinyiwei. If he did not seize the opportunity to clean up the Jinyiwei at this time, Looking back, he will be retaliated by those people, and he doesn't know where he will end up.Instead of doing this, it’s better to serve them all in one pot!
Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with what he heard. This Li Ruolian spoke and acted in an orderly manner, and he was also a decisive person. He was indeed worth using.Therefore, he nodded and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, wait for peace!"

Hearing this, Li Ruolian and others knew that it was done. This was a great joy. They couldn't restrain their excitement. When they stood up after thanking them, they still felt a little unreal.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Li Ruolian and said, "I believe you have this ability. Now it's time to rectify both inside and outside the court. Time is running out, and I have too many things to do. From now on, you will be the commander of Jinyiwei. The transfer of Jinyiwei's personnel is all up to Qing. Except for the matter of Wu Zhong, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, which cannot be delayed, all other affairs of Jinyiwei are closed, and Qing will go back immediately to rectify Jinyiwei for me."

Having said that, he paused and said, "As for Luo Yangxing, he will never go back to Dongchang."

Jin Yiwei is the emperor's pro-army, just like the servants in the palace, all obey the emperor alone, the outer court has no control, and there is no need to explain to the outer court, and it is not as troublesome as changing the chief minister.Therefore, with a word from Emperor Chongzhen, Jin Yiwei could be replaced.It's just that in the past, I didn't know who to replace, but now I have found a candidate.

Hearing this, Li Ruolian was extremely excited and immediately left.

However, Wu Zhong, who was granted a hundred households by Emperor Jinkou, was retained by Emperor Chongzhen.

I heard Emperor Chongzhen say to Wu Zhong: "This time I falsely surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and went to Liaodong to carry out such a dangerous mission, I will keep it in mind. Remember, you must survive until I can revive the imperial court and reform the army. I will personally conquer Liaodong and bring you back!"

When Wu Zhong heard that the emperor was worried about his own safety and told him to live on, he couldn't help being moved, and immediately replied respectfully: "The general is waiting for that day, and must see His Majesty conquer Liaodong with his own eyes!"

If it had been changed before, he would never have believed that the emperor would go to Liaodong in person!However, at this moment, after seeing the emperor's means and courage to rectify Jinyiwei, he believed a little bit, and felt that there was still hope.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him, and said the main reason for keeping him: "For this mission, remember that all the information will be gathered to you in the end, but there is no need to pass it back to the customs, that is to say, you only need to collect information , when no one is around, just read it quietly once in a low voice, I will use other means to obtain information, understand? Remember, this matter must not be mentioned to anyone!"

Wu Zhong was taken aback for a moment, how to pass the news back to the pass safely and timely is the most difficult step, but now the emperor said no, doesn't it mean that the difficulty of the task has been reduced a lot, which is a great thing!However, he couldn't figure it out, as long as he murmured in a low voice, what method could the emperor use to obtain information?Could it be that the emperor arranged for others to lurk by his side?

This seems a bit incredible!He couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore and agreed immediately.
