"At the same time, the country is in turmoil, and the Quartet is disturbed. The society is in danger of accumulating eggs, and the living beings are in urgent need of being overhanged. In this critical autumn of survival, I hope that all the ministers and nobles can help the country and help fight the bandits. ……”

Emperor Chongzhen did not directly break the matter of moving south, but first reached out to ask for money, and then seized the families of each family. Especially the many noble families.

These people all started with martial arts, even though after many generations, the master of the house has long degenerated from the first generation of Xiong Zhen warriors to a small Jingba who can't run or bite, but who doesn't have a group of family guards in their homes?

These people are all gathered, and three or five thousand people are afraid that there will be none, and two or three thousand strong men who can wield knives and guns are still not a problem.

In today's capital, this is a very objective force.

What's more, this can reduce the uncertainty in the city, right?

The people's army has already pressed the border, who dares to say that there are no Li Zicheng's spies in this capital, and the people present now are all loyal to the Ming Dynasty?

Hearing that the emperor stretched out his hand to ask for money again, the ministers below did not react much, and everyone was still immersed in the shock caused by the instability of Juyongguan. The civil and military ministers and noble relatives present at the scene, I don't know how many people heard the heartbreak of "Kaba", and it was really the last hope that was extinguished.

The thief army was able to really hit Yanjing City, to be honest, although these bastards didn't have much loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, they all didn't want the Ming Dynasty to fall from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Zicheng was like a bamboo, but there were always many people in the capital who didn't think so.

There are two reliances, one is Zheng Zhilong, who rushed all the way to the capital.

——The evaluation of him between the government and the opposition in the capital for a while really has a sense of déjà vu in the public opinion circle when Napoleon returned to Paris after beating Elba and restoring the dynasty.

First of all, someone scolded Zheng Zhilong as a chaotic minister and thief, which is really a bit excessive. Zheng Zhilong has been "brave and loyal" so far.

When the news of the plaintiff's breaking reached Jingshi, some people denounced him for moving the army without will, which was really audacious.

But when Zhou Yuji died in Wuning Pass, public opinion began to change, and the government and the opposition began to say that although he was loyal, there was something wrong with this behavior.

At this point, the public opinion has changed from a negative effect to absolute neutrality.

Then the news of Datong Jiang Jiu surrendering without a fight and Li Zicheng came to Jingshi. This changed from neutrality to Zheng Zhilong, saying that he has the wisdom to take precautions, can do what others cannot, and deserves to be a famous general in the world.

Li Zicheng went down to Datong, and then went to Xuanfu, and along the way, the Ming army looked at the wind and fell, and the people in the capital began to feel nervous, and they began to praise Zheng Zhilong, and they didn't even want to be ashamed.

By the time the news of Li Zicheng's army coming to Juyongguan came, Zheng Zhilong was already the hope of the nobles of the Beijing Division, the civil and military elites!

The second is Wu Sangui outside the gate. The latter is not far from the Beijing Division, even if Wu Xiang Lion opened his mouth, but Wu Sangui's father, elder brother and other dozens of members of the family are all in the Beijing Division, in order to save his father to break through and filial piety to the nine sides, Wu Sangui, who is brave and champion of the three armies, really dare not come?

Including Emperor Chongzhen, everyone in the capital had high hopes for Wu Sangui's Guanning army. And they all believed that Wu Sangui's army would definitely be able to repel Li Zicheng as soon as he moved.

Because the combat effectiveness of the Guanning Army is super good in their hearts. That's far from being something that a thief can resist.

It is these two factors that support the civil and military nobles to be stingy, and they are eager to pull out Emperor Chongzhen one by one.

But now, one of the two has not yet left the Shanhaiguan, and the other has come, but he opened his mouth and said that Juyong Pass is unstable. Juyong Pass is really unstable, and Li Thief will be able to kill him outside the city in the blink of an eye. As Emperor Shicai said, Yanjing City is such a land, how can the Zheng army with 10,000 people defend it?

And if Yanjing City really can't hold it, what about them?

What about these nobles who have retired with the country? Do you surrender too?

"Minister Liu Wenbing is willing to give 100,000 taels of silver, and 20 members of the family will help His Majesty and save the country." Xinlehou Liu Wenbing was the first to step forward. He is Emperor Chongzhen's old cousin, his cousin, and Emperor Chongzhen's wife is his aunt.

is also a notoriously poor bastard.

Although he is illustrious, and even his brother Liu Wenyao is the governor of Zuo, the second Liu is somewhat cheeky, and he is even more self-conscious. If you sell the entire Liu family, can you have 100,000 taels?

Does the emperor still have a high gimmick at this juncture?

The ministers were still laughing in their hearts. I heard Emperor Chongzhen, who was the first, clapping his hands and praising Xinle Hou for destroying his family and relieving difficulties, and being loyal to the country, worthy of being a minister who rested with the country.

"Your Majesty praises falsely, and the ministers dare not be ashamed." Xin Lehou hurriedly clenched his fists and said humbly, and then what he really wanted to say came out. "The minister came from a humble background, and he can have today's wealth because of his grace."

That's true. Since the Ming Dynasty became an ancestor, few of the masters in the harem of the Ming Dynasty were from large families. Liu's ancestors were from Haizhou and later moved to Hejian Province. was elected to the East Palace of the Crown Prince and became the lady of Guangzong Zhu Changluo (a kind of low-level concubine). In the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, Zhu Changluo, who was still the crown prince at the time, gave birth to the fifth son Zhu Youzhen, that is, Emperor Chongzhen. But Lady Liu did not please Zhu Changluo, and when Emperor Chongzhen was five years old, she died for unknown reasons because of a hysterical seizure of Zhu Changluo.

Emperor Chongzhen also made people find the Liu family after he ascended the throne.

"To say a big disrespectful word, my lords and ministers of the Chinese military are different, is it a joke to rest with the country? It has been more than ten years since the Li thief started the incident, how can there be no henchmen around him? It's really the turn of the Li thief to gain power, and the military generals of Wenchen can still have a way to live, and the Li thief always wants someone to govern the world. But a lord like Chen, will there be less of Li Thief? ”

"Besides, the people of their generation are a group of poor men with mud legs, and they really want to take the capital and enter the best place in the world, and Li Thief can be in a big position, and he wants to reward the whole army and reward the heroes. But the treasury and the treasury are empty, what does Thief Li use to reward his hundreds of thousands of thieves and soldiers? Isn't it to take the riches of Beijing? ”

"And the civil officials in Beijing can give Li Thief his life, if Li Zicheng still has a three-point emperor statue, he will only kill a few people who hate him to the bone, and the rest will be appeased. The only people who suffer from the disaster are the nobles who are useless with the ministers, the officials in the palace, and the rich gentry in the city......"

Liu Wenbing and Gong Yonggu were the two most trusted nobles of Emperor Chongzhen, and they were summoned to the palace before ringing the Jingyang bell, and they had already talked to each other. Just like what many nobles thought, Liu Wenbing didn't have 100,000 taels of silver in his hand at all, but this was just a reason.

What he really offered was not 100,000 taels of silver, but what he said before.

The effect should not be underestimated. When Liu Wenbing's voice fell, the honorable and civil and military officials all became in an uproar.

The former was so affected by Huang Zhong Da Lu, like thunder, Liu Wenbing broke the most worried thing of the nobles! What these nobles are most afraid of is that they don't even have the qualifications to surrender and rebel!

And the civil and military officials are all dissatisfied, what is Xin Lehou talking about? Or do people say it?

They are also loyal to the Ming Dynasty, what is the difference between everyone?
