the Ming Dynasty
Forbidden City, outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity
A large amount of fog shrouded the ancient palace!
Many eunuchs and palace maids anxiously wanted to enter the hall, but they could not get close no matter how hard they tried. It was as if they had been hit by a ghost.
"What should we do? What should we do?"
"It's been a night. The Emperor hasn't come out for the entire night!”
"What's going on? Why was there such a thick fog in the palace?”
The eunuchs were extremely anxious, afraid that something big would happen.
Not long after daybreak, the fog began to slowly dissipate.
Everyone was delighted. They saw Chongzhen walk out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity with a happy face. Everyone immediately went forward to kneel and welcome him.
"Aiyo, my emperor, why have you been in the hall for so long?”
"That's right, this fog is frighteningly thick, even these servants can't enter.”
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
All the internal officials asked about their well-being with worried faces!
Chong Zhen's expression turned serious as he scanned the crowd. His gaze then landed on Wang Dehua, Gao Qiqian, and the others.
Then, he sneered and said," I'm fine. In the future, no one will need to clean the Palace of Heavenly Purity. If there is fog, no one is allowed to approach it. Those who violate it will be killed without mercy!”
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone nodded in agreement!
Although everyone could see that Chongzhen had a secret.
But if he didn't say anything, no one dared to ask.
"Emperor!" Wang Dehua bowed and smiled apologetically."You must be hungry after working hard for a night. How about this servant get someone to send you breakfast?”
"Haha!"
Facing Wang Dehua's solicitous attention, Chong Zhen's heart turned even colder.
If it was in the past, he would definitely be secretly touched and feel that this dog slave was really considerate.
However, ever since he found out that Li Zicheng had opened the city gates to surrender for the first time after entering the capital, he could not help but want to draw his sword and cut him down.
"No need, I'm not hungry!"
Chong Zhen waved his hand impatiently.
He had just eaten so much good food at Ji Han's place, so he was naturally not hungry.
Moreover, the immortal land was indeed the immortal land. He felt that he had only stayed for four hours, but when he returned to Da Ming, it was already dawn. The flow of time was obviously different.
The current Chongzhen was ambitious and wanted to race against time. He was not interested in eating or resting at all.
"Come, summon Wang Chengen, Fang Zhenghua, and Cao Huachun!”Chong Zhen ordered.
"Emperor, why do you want to see them?”"Cao Huachun has already resigned due to illness!"”
"Why are you asking so many questions?" "Hurry up and pass the order!" Chong Zhen scolded in dissatisfaction.”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Wang Dehua was so scared that he agreed repeatedly!
He felt that Chongzhen had changed a lot.
This made him very uneasy, and he even felt that something was not right.
However, he had no choice but to do as he was told!
In a short while, Wang Chengen and the others arrived!
Even Cao Huachun, who had resigned due to illness, hurriedly entered the palace!
The three of them hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed to Chongzhen in unison."Greetings, Emperor!"
"Yes!" Chong Zhen nodded in satisfaction. Suddenly, he shouted with a cold face,"Men, take Wang Dehua and Gao Qiqian down and beat them to death!”
"What?"
Everyone gasped in fear.
No one expected Chongzhen to suddenly turn hostile.
What was going on?
Did Wang Dehua and Gao Qiqian offend him?
"Emperor, Emperor, please spare my life. What did this servant do wrong?”
"Emperor, this servant is loyal to you!”
Gao Qiqian and Wang Dehua were so scared that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Wang Chengen and the others were also shocked. What was this?
Did he suddenly call them over to make an example out of them?
"Imperial Lord, please calm down!"
Wang Chengen and the other two were so scared that they knelt on the ground desperately.
However, to everyone's surprise, not only did Chongzhen not vent his anger on them, but he also helped them up one by one.
"Emperor!"
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Not only was no one touched, but they were all shocked.
"Don't be afraid, Gao Qiqian deserves to die!”"Last night, I received a dream from the immortal master and knew what would happen in the future. These two dogs actually colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. They should be executed!"”
"No, no, no, Emperor, it won't be. It definitely won't be!”
"Are you dreaming? This dream is the opposite!”
"That's right, even dreams are reversed. We are loyal and devoted, Emperor!”
Wang Dehua and Gao Qiqian begged desperately in fear.
However, Chong Zhen didn't waste any more time and shouted at the young eunuch beside him,""Drag him down and beat him to death!"
"This?"
The surrounding eunuchs looked at each other, not daring to move!
These two eunuchs were big shots. Many young eunuchs worked for them. Now that they were faced with such an order, they did not know if they should listen to it.
"What are you waiting for?" "Didn't you hear the Emperor's order?" Wang Chengen said angrily.”
"Drag him away!"
Fang Zhengzhi also berated angrily!
The young eunuchs hurriedly agreed before dragging the two away!
Soon, the screams of Wang Dehua and Gao Qiqian could be heard in the palace. With Chongzhen's order, these two would be beaten to death.
This naturally made the entire harem tremble!
If these two people died just like that, the power of the harem would be reshuffled again.
Many of the eunuchs and members of the 24th prison who relied on them would be wiped out. This was something that could be foreseen.
"Cao Huachun, from today onwards, you will be the Seal Eunuch of the Bureau of Rites again and will be in charge of the East Chamber. Don't tell me that you are sick.”
"Fang Zhenghua, from today onwards, you will manage the Imperial Army for me!”
"Wang Chengen, you are still your ceremonial supervisor and eunuch who usually serves me.”
"All the people that Wang Dehua and Gao Qiqian left behind, clean them up. Do not leave any hidden dangers behind, understand?”
Chongzhen's series of appointments and dismissals shocked everyone once again!
"Yes, sir!"
"This servant accepts the order!"
Wang Chengen and the others were both surprised and happy, and they quickly agreed respectfully!
Eunuchs were the Emperor's servants, and all appointments and deaths were decided by the Emperor. Ever since Wei Zhongxian's death, no one could compete with Chongzhen in the harem. How could everyone dare to disobey?
