lethal arsenal

Chapter 396 Chongzhen

cough cough.

Ma Zhen coughed twice, neither serious nor serious. It came at the right time and pulled Lin Dong out of the embarrassing situation.

"The fish cry soul is contaminated with the death energy of the underworld, and the sonic attacks it emits can cause damage to the soul. Not to mention a little girl, even a martial artist who has not stepped into the innate world may not be able to resist it. Don't look at Xiao Yiwei. Some yellow croakers even harbor parasitic demons..."

"In short, after being contaminated with the death energy of Huangquan, everything in this city will be abnormal, so be careful."

Ma Zhenyi said in conclusion.

Lin Dong took advantage of the situation and lowered the delicate Yin Ling'er.

Yin Ling'er's face was flushed, her head lowered, and her two hands were subconsciously twisted together, as if she wished she could find a crack in the ground to get in.

Lin Dong, on the other hand, faced Xu Tianxiong's rather unkind gaze calmly.

He subconsciously rubbed his fingers behind his back, rolled his eyes, and changed the subject: "This prisoner wood demon has given us a big surprise. We can't delay it any longer, otherwise, the situation will become more and more difficult to deal with. If it were to collect the building fragments, I'm afraid it would be no less than the ghost mother of hell."

"That's the way it is."

Ma Zhen nodded and agreed with Lin Dong's statement. He held the Liu Ren Divine Art in one hand and calculated silently in his mind for a while.

Suddenly.

Ma Zhen opened his mouth and said: "Shuntian Mansion, since Yongle moved the capital, has opened up the Hunyuan Formation, which is in harmony with the Tao. The imperial energy is integrated with the destiny of heaven and earth. But now, the formation is completely useless, except for the old fire dragon. It’s no longer possible to frighten the demons. The culprit should appear in the palace..."

"Ma Zhenren, what do you mean?"

The ghost-hand Li Shun on the side chatted.

"Jianmu, the other fragments must be in the imperial city, and there are other monsters causing trouble."

Ma Zhenyi said firmly.

"Then let's go to the Imperial City, just in time..."

Lin Dong's voice paused, "I also want to see Emperor Chongzhen." Lin Dong said sincerely, there were some people who came to Ming Dynasty that he must see with his own eyes.

In my memory, there are not many traces of King Xin.

Lin Yuanjue, a man with thousands of households in brocade clothes, has seen King Xin only a handful of times.

Moreover, those one or two encounters were what Emperor Tianqi saw when he came to Qintian Prison to visit the reclusive Xu Wei.

The King of Xin in my memory had his head buried very low when walking, wishing that his whole body was covered in sleeves and robes. His cheeks were thin and pale. He spoke softly and softly, and when he did things, no! Even when drinking a cup of tea, he is holding it carefully, without any hint of a heroic demeanor.

It is precisely because of this that they gained the trust of Xu Wei, Emperor Tianqi, and believed that the wheels would slowly move on the right track according to the track they built.

Unexpectedly, Chongzhen planned to dismantle the wheels not long after he took office.

The first is to recover the unexpected Fire Dragon Ball in Lin Dong's body.

The second is to send Li Ruolian, who needs strong support to form the Shenwu Army, to Yingtian Mansion for retirement.

The White Tiger, who is known as the White Tiger, has not yet been born.

Zhao Shujiao, named Xuanwu, was supposed to join the Liao Dynasty to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but was sent to suppress the Jizhen military rebellion.

Three of Xu Wei's original four major plans suddenly changed.

"How long has it been?"

In a certain situation, Emperor Chongzhen completely conformed to Lin Dong's stereotyped understanding of Chongzhen in writing from later generations.

He is headstrong, repetitive, extremely suspicious, but unable to do anything.

I have Cao Cao's disease, but I don't have Cao Cao's ability.

In the year 276 of the Ming Dynasty, when Chongzhen was in power, the number of bachelors in the cabinet was changed, fifty-five, and the chief minister of the cabinet was changed to a total of seventeen people. twelve.

The Minister of War was replaced by 14, and 13 supervisors were killed.

Generals such as Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, and Hong Chengchou died tragically, were forced to commit suicide, and were forced to surrender.

There is no trace of a human king in such a character.

But then again, for all his faults, Chongzhen did not receive an orthodox imperial education.

Although Huang Taiji did not experience imperial education, he was trained by Nurhaci, fought for the top, and walked out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

Chongzhen was trained as a vassal king since he was a child. Except for a loyal little eunuch, he had no power of his own.

In addition, the party struggle between North Korea and China is too fierce.

Forty-eight years of Wanli, he was able to defeat two emperors in one year. Who else could he trust for an emperor like Chongzhen who had no power internally or externally?

The defeat of the Ming Dynasty was determined by every drink and peck.

Lin Dong wanted to meet Chongzhen, not hoping to change him, but only hoping to influence him.

He is not a nanny, nor can he be a nanny. His mission is to wipe out the devils and gods in the world.

But it would also be good if a few words or small things could influence Chongzhen and make the world less miserable.

Just when the thoughts in my mind are turning over and over again.

"Brother, look over there."

Xu Tianxiong stepped forward and held Lin Dong's arm with one hand, stretched out his hand and said.

"Are you going to declare your sovereignty here? Isn't it too childish?"

Lin Dong complained silently in his heart, and wrapped his arms around Xu Tianxiong. When his daughter was sweating, the faint fragrance flowed into the nose, and the pink hair swayed in front of his eyes, making people's hearts wander.

He looked in the direction pointed by Xu Tianxiong.

"what is that?"

Lin Dong's eyes narrowed, and the trees planted by Yang Zhai were a bit strange. There seemed to be a child sobbing in the forest.

"what!"

At this moment, panicked screams rang out, and Yang Li stumbled all the way towards the people in the front yard.

"General, save me, save me..."

Yang Li shouted, looking like she wanted to run into Lin Dong's arms for comfort.

Xu Tianxiong stepped forward without hesitation and stopped this inexplicable woman.

"What are you yelling about?"

Lin Dong asked with a frown, his tone was not very friendly, Xu Tianxiong pinched his waist just now, as if he was blaming him for playing tricks.

"General, monsters, the woods are full of monsters."

Yang Li's face was particularly frightened.

"monster?"

Lin Dong shook his arm, and a blue-purple thunder ball intertwined in his palm. The aurora emitted by the arc stung people's eyes.

Similarly, the small woods to the north of Yangzhai Flower Hall are also illuminated.

Ancient trees come into view.

The scary thing is that a baby's face grows out of the tree.

The baby was wailing loudly, with sharp teeth in its mouth. When Lin Dong looked over, hehehehe, the baby turned from crying to laughing again. There were no eyeballs in its eyes, just bloody holes. Scarlet and sticky blood flowed out of the eye sockets. Extremely horrifying.

There was such a face on every tree. When everyone looked at it, a sharp voice burst out from the baby's mouth, as if it had endured great pain and torture... A cry full of despair echoed in the air.

Xu Tianxiong couldn't help but press his eyebrows, feeling that the breath in his body was disturbed by sound waves.

The thunderball passed by with a hiss, and thousands of arcs of electricity exploded in the forest.

The stench filled the air instantly, black smoke rose, and the baby's cheeks on the trees were chopped into charcoal.

A raging flame burned on each ancient tree.

……

In the Yongshou Palace, Emperor Chongzhen covered his face with the memorial. After a moment, he slowly moved it down, revealing a pair of slender phoenix eyes, which were filled with cold light and were not even warm at all.

Bang bang bang.

The sound of kowtowing continued. On the bluestone brick, an official in red robe was kowtowing. Every time he kowtowed, he hit the stone slab firmly.

Yongshou Palace is Chongzhen's palace, not the three main halls, and it is not a place for official business.

Normally, it is impossible to meet with ministers here.

This shows the urgency of the situation.

The palace door was open, and there were dozens of civil servants and generals lined up on the left and right.

The atmosphere at this moment was extremely depressing, and many officials did not even dare to take a breath.

Chongzhen spread out the folds and read them carefully. "The dead fish turned over in the canal, a ghost baby appeared suddenly on the willow tree, a demon attacked the imperial court at the north gate, and several battalions of troops could not suppress it. The calamity is like a cloud. You are eating the salary of the Ming Dynasty. When the country is in crisis, you still can't suppress it. Can't come up with any solution? What's the use of wearing the Usha on top of you? Ah, you guys are talking about it."

boom!

Emperor Chongzhen smashed his fist on the table, it can be said that his temper was as fierce as fire.

"Now that people's hearts are in a state of flux, I don't have anyone available to me. It would be great if I could be saved."

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was far from reaching the point of hopelessness in its final years.

However, Chongzhen still thought that the court was a bunch of mediocre people. He buried these words in his heart and did not say them out for the time being.

"Your Majesty, that demon, Shen Lian, Shen Lian, has superb magical power. Given the opportunity, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers and horses to..."

After a pause, the minister of bodyguards said in a more serious tone: "It's really difficult to suppress. As the saying goes, there are specialties in the art. Maybe, ahem, maybe we can find some people from the three religions to deal with it. I know something about my humble position - White Horse Temple in Luoyang The walking patient monk, Hanshan monk, recently hosted a sutra debate at Lianshan Temple and promoted Zen principles..."

After another pause, the general took a sneak peek and saw that the anger on Chongzhen's face had softened slightly.

He then said boldly: "Perhaps we can ask him to come and try to drive out the devil. No, it should be to suppress the devil."

"Humph."

Chongzhen sneered, "Then why don't you go quickly."

"Your Majesty, the prince has sent someone here..."

Not right.

The chamberlain general immediately realized that it was not his place to say these words. He subconsciously raised his head secretly.

He saw Emperor Chongzhen staring at him with a half-smile.

Murderous intent flashed through those narrow eyes.

The chamberlain suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

"How dare you dare to guess my will and make a decision for me first? You are quite courageous. Look at how many things you do on a daily basis without telling me!"

Chongzhen's anger ignited again and he roared.

"Don't dare."

"I don't dare to do this in a humble position."

The minister of bodyguard kowtowed repeatedly, bang bang, and his forehead quickly turned red.

Seeing this, Chongzhen was still angry. He grabbed the Qilin paperweight on the desk and threw it away.

boom!

The force of the blow was not small, and it hit the minister of bodyguard heavily on the head.

The Kirin paperweight is in the shape of a square, made of red copper, iron essence, and marble, and its texture is particularly hard.

The minister of bodyguard did not dare to use his strength to resist, but instead let the paperweight hit his head. In addition, Chongzhen struck out angrily, and with a bang, the back of his head was broken, causing blood to flow.

The minister of bodyguard did not dare to reach out and test it.

"Next time, I will kill you without mercy."

Chongzhen said angrily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."

The minister of bodyguard hurriedly kowtowed in pain.

Chongzhen leaned back, raised his head slightly, slowly closed his eyes, and reached out to rub his temples.

In the entire hall of more than ten people, apart from the minister's breathing, there was only the sound of Chongzhen rubbing his fingers.

"Besides the humiliating monk, are there any other people available?"

Chongzhen asked lightly.

After all, it was the nature of the emperor, and he soon regained his composure.

"Your Majesty, General Li Ruolian and General Li of the Shenwu Army are already on their way here. He organized..."

The eunuch Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch who stood beside Chongzhen in a red robe, lowered his head and spoke softly. His voice was particularly gentle, and there seemed to be a calming power in it.

Unfortunately, Emperor Chongzhen interrupted him mid-sentence: "Don't mention that trash."

"That……"

Wang Chengen's voice dropped three points lower and he thought for a moment.

He said quickly: "Yuan Chonghuan, the right censor of the Imperial Palace and the right minister of the Ministry of War, General Yuan is already on the way. Guan Ning's cavalry is arrogant in the world. General Yuan's martial arts is at the top. It is difficult to find an opponent in the holy realm. He can almost see the immortals." , even Nurhaci’s immortal golden body was defeated by his wind, fire and thunder, and tiger god’s golden whip. Well, I think as long as he can arrive, the newly promoted demon Shen Lian will definitely not be his opponent.”

Wang Chengen briefly praised Yuan Chonghuan.

Because of Yuan Chonghuan's previous record of annihilating the most heroic man in the Jin Kingdom, the wild boar Pinurhaci.

In addition, the Wei party had been cleared out one by one not long ago. At this time, Yuan Chonghuan's reputation was extremely high, almost reaching the point of "full of officials".

The entire Ming court, no matter which faction the courtiers belonged to, wrote memorials begging Chongzhen to resurrect Yuan Chonghuan.

A bunch of court officials of the Ming Dynasty caught Yuan Chonghuan and boasted about him.

At this moment, Chongzhen's trust in Yuan Chonghuan was also at its peak, probably to a certain extent - if Aiqing didn't show up, what would be the point of living in the world.

"Then Yuan Aiqing, where have you been?"

Chongzhen asked with his face relieved a little.

Wang Chengen rolled his eyes, silently calculating in his mind, and after a moment he said: "I think it will be today, if I hurry up..."

This is the time.

call!

The scorching wind swept into the temple.

The expressions of all the civil servants and generals with pale faces changed one after another.

Chongzhen also stretched his neck and looked out.

I saw a huge fire tornado rising from the sky, fierce fire, attacking the dark lead cloud pressing down on the city.

hold head high!

Waves of dragon roars continued, and in the tornado, there was a big dragon composed of golden and red flowing fire, which was lifelike.

The dragon's head was complete with beards, teeth and scales, and it looked ferocious and majestic. It opened its bloody mouth and bit straight towards the calamity cloud in the sky. With this bite, it actually bit out a huge hole in the calamity cloud in the sky.

"Fire Dragon!"

"It's the Great Ming Fire Dragon."

"The fire dragon has arrived."

Some courtiers who didn't know the so-called yelled indiscriminately.

Chongzhen's eyes were uncertain, and he bared his teeth and said with a bit of ferocity: "Lin Yuanjue."

Xu Wei had a good daughter, and King Xin wanted to have her. However, before such an idea came up, he was blocked by the cunning Xu Wei.

Between power and beauty, King Xin resolutely chose the former.

Compared with mere beauties, the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty are naturally more important.

The reason why Chongzhen had such thoughts in the first place was actually that his real purpose was to tie up Old Man Qingteng to death and bring him into the same camp.

Emperor Tianqi once even thought about being a matchmaker. During that period, Lin Qianhu's romantic history of fighting with people for famous prostitutes in the south of the Yangtze River was widely circulated in the capital.

But he still didn't give up Xu Wei's intention of choosing Lin Yuanjue as his son-in-law.

It would be strange to say that there was no conflict between Lin Yuanjue and Chongzhen. However, Lin Dong, who was born here, really didn't think about that grudge.

Otherwise, let Chongzhen know a little bit about how powerful he is.

The fire dragon wiped away the calamity clouds on the top of the three main halls.

In front of the palace, Lin Dong also faced Shen Lian, who looked like a ghost.

In the sea of ​​blood and mountains of corpses, Shen Lian floated in the air and grinned at Lin Dong, his fangs stained with blood.

Lin Dong was also smiling and gave a thumbs up to the weirdo wearing a mask.

Followed by.

Ma Zhenyi, who was standing on the top of the palace, pointed his Yuquan sword.

Rumble.

There seemed to be a great tide rising.

The overwhelming thunder completely drowned the martial arts tribulation saint who was floating in mid-air and merged with the Prisoner Wood Demon, inheriting some of the abilities of the Underworld Ghost Mother.
