Chapter 570. Wrong, but reasonable

The remains of Emperor Chongzhen were not found on the coal mountain until the next day.

Even the late emperor of the Song Dynasty had 100,000 soldiers and civilians to fight to the end, and there were loyal ministers like Lu Xiufu who jumped into the sea with the little emperor to die in the sea, but the emperor of the Ming Empire was actually wearing a dragon robe full of patches and no sleeves when he died, and only an old eunuch who had served for many years was left to be buried together, and the tragedy of the last king was particularly moving.

On the inner lining that he ripped off, the last words of the holy decree were written in red blood.

I have been on the throne for 17 years, three invitations to heaven, as for the capture of the ground three times, thieves to the capital division, all the ministers mistakenly!

I have no face to see the first emperor underground, cover his face, let the thief split the corpse, and the civil officials can kill it! Don't hurt a single person, don't damage the mausoleum!

Extremely helpless last words! But in the end, Chongzhen's conceit was revealed! Putting all the blame on the ministers, he didn't think about what he did when the upright ministers who were willing to take responsibility and were not the ministers of the country needed him, the emperor, to step up.

The tragic end of the Ming Dynasty cannot be unilaterally pointed at the king or courtiers, but can only be said to be a tragedy in which social evolution, natural and man-made disasters and the weakness of the emperor's character are intertwined and evolve together.

The body of the daughter and son-in-law was brought back, whether it was the imperial relatives such as Zhou Kuitian Hongyu, or the great eunuchs such as Wang Zhixin Wang Dehua and other cronies, everyone was willing to give silver for burial, and finally Li Zicheng ordered the eunuchs to buy a few thin coffins, and parked the remains of the emperor and princess Zhaoren outside the Donghua Gate, and found a few monks to come over and recite the scriptures.

On that day, there were thousands of ministers of the Ming Dynasty who knelt outside the Zhengyang Gate to welcome Li Zicheng, but those who came to worship the first emperor were only twenty or thirty, and the warmth and coldness of the people can be seen.

It's just that at this time, Li Zicheng no longer had the heart to sigh at the tragic situation of Emperor Chongzhen, and he also faced the problems faced by Emperor Chongzhen at the beginning.

No money!

In order to attract the people to join, Li Zicheng's army went to various places, but the banner was exempted from taxation for three years, and not a single citizen would be killed! Although it is impossible to do it without killing a single people, after all, the army has always relied on fighting local tyrants and distributing granaries to live, and it is impossible to see some blood if those old people who regard money as the root of their lives will pull out the silver! But the three-year exemption is not empty talk! From the vast Henan to Shaanxi, in the area under the jurisdiction of Dashun, he really did not levy a grain of grain.

On the one hand, in order to change the hearts of the people in the district, on the other hand, it is Dashun's own shortcomings, which lack effective local rule, even if Li Zicheng wants to expropriate, he can't systematically expropriate it like Daming.

The reason why he hurried to attack the capital like a yak was indeed the intention of overthrowing the emperor and sitting in the dragon court, and on the other hand, it also had the meaning of seizing the central treasury of the Ming Dynasty to fill the treasury of Dashun.

But now, the inner and outer warehouses of the Ming Dynasty are empty, and the Dashun army is also a person, and he also has to pay and eat, Li Zicheng can see the hole below when he opens his wallet, and for two days in a row, he is also trapped in the palace, busy worrying about the silver in his pocket.

It's still the cursed platform, but compared to the time of Emperor Chongzhen, the atmosphere here is obviously a lot more lively, and from time to time you can still hear fierce shouts from inside.

"King Chuang, no one has sacrificed the crown prince Yongwang for so many days, if it goes on like this, there will be a change, please hurry up and order the whole city to search for it!"

Murderous, Niu Venus jumped up and down like a Spanish bullfight, roaring with teeth and claws, if this was in front of Chongzhen, several heads would be cut off, but Dashun here, so far there has not been a etiquette system, tilted on the dragon chair and watched him spit stars sprayed on his face, Li Zicheng did not think it was wrong, but yawned lazily.

"The soldiers are tired from the journey, and it is not good to launch them to fight again in the past few days!"

"King Chuang, once the prince flees to the south of the Yangtze River, and becomes the emperor under the support of those former Ming ministers, it will be difficult to level the world! Delay directly, Your Majesty should arrest Prince Ming earlier, and then wave the army south! ”

"Our Lao Li knows! That's it, military advisor, you go down and discuss with Hao Shaoqi and Li Guo about how to arrest the prince, that's it!"

There is a saying in later generations, Li Zicheng entered Beijing and celebrated the New Year every day!

The Ming Dynasty has fallen, there is no number one enemy, from the king to the generals of the Dashun army, the speed of corruption has reached an astonishing level, the signature big felt hat coarse cloth cloak and windbreaker have long been thrown away, Li Zicheng is a set of red eunuchs in the ceremonial prison to wear a reckless dragon robe, and his hair is combed neatly and neatly by the palace daughter.

Anyway, he didn't know what this dress was doing before, as long as he wore it to look rich, he wore it, and he also got a palace daughter with a hammer leg here, holding a tea bowl in his right hand, Li Zicheng slapped impatiently.

"King Chuang!"

"The military advisor is doing things, let's rest assured!"

I wanted to say something, but Li Zicheng said so, and finally, Niu Jinxing shook his head helplessly, and hugged his fist at Li Zicheng.

"Retire!"

Only then did he send away Niu Jinxing, and then Li Zicheng waved his face again, and a burst of drums and piano sounded, and then Chongzhen had no chance to see the music and dance in the side hall for seventeen years.

"Hey, big brother!"

Da Shun is really called unruly, the two little eunuchs are sweating behind them, this Liu Zongmin has already laughed and broke in, into the capital for a few days, he is also a shotgun change, I don't know which house of the scholar brother crane white robe was pulled off by him, at this time people pay attention to loose and decent clothing, ill-fitting clothes are worn on his bulging body, is supported like bread, this thing is stunned to feel good about himself, refusing to take it off.

"Big brother is so free! Tsk, it's still a beautiful girl in the palace, hey, she's still shy!"

In the rude laughter, this thing pounced on the dancing palace daughter like an eagle catching a chicken, and a big mouth full of beard was about to kiss people's faces, which frightened several delicate little girls to lose their faces, screaming like a back porch and escaping back.

"You kid!"

Not only was he not angry, but Li Zicheng laughed and stood up, and went up and gave the ass a hard kick.

"It's still big brother, you are moisturizing! This baby is tender, with one hand of water, no matter what, you have to give me two!"

"Okay! 10,000 taels of silver apiece, don't say two, the whole palace is round, Lao Tzu has no opinion!"

"Big brother, you're too inauthentic! You are sitting on the country first, you want two girls, and you don't care about your brother asking for silver!"

Immediately, the cow's eyes widened, and he spread his hands sadly, shouting, and Liu Zongmin also squeaked the Confucian robe on his body.

Sitting back on the dragon chair, Li Zicheng let out a long snort.

"Sitting on the country? Lao Tzu knows Chongzhen's suffering, you have seen the two libraries, they are empty, they can't collect food first, the army is still eating from Shaanxi, Yuan Manzi's foundation, it won't be long before the army will be short of food! If it can be sold, Lao Tzu really wants to sell this palace for some food! ”

"Lack of food?"

Unexpectedly, his army defeated the largest metropolis in the world, and he actually came to face the problem of lack of food, Liu Zongmin's bull's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a long time, and he suddenly slapped his thigh fiercely.

"Big brother, what a big deal I have to do! Aren't there a flock of ready-made fat sheep under our hands? There were more than a thousand kneeling in front of Zhengyang Gate that day, and at least several times who didn't come, big brother, didn't you ask me to rectify that old man Wei, a former university scholar? In the past two days, brother and I took a big shackle to Lao'er, and let him kneel there, guess how much he spit out to my brother, 100,000 small white fish, 1,000 big yellow croaker! There is also a large warehouse of grain and cereals. ”

It is said that Liukouism, this is in the palace compound, Liu Zongmin's words have soared out, this number, Li Zicheng who listened to it couldn't help but be moved.

But after all, he sat in the Dragon Court, and Li Zicheng also began to worry about his image, pinched his chin, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"That's not good! Kill two traitors, those people, after all, surrendered! Let's also sit in the Dragon Court......"

"You have also seen this palace brother, the emperor is so poor that he can't even afford to wear clothes, these fat sheep eat and drink spicy food one by one, which one is not a traitor? And look at the way they look at Chongzhen, they don't even want to come out of the coffin when they die, can these deflated grass sticks be loyal to you, big brother? In the past, these bastards pressed on our heads, and they scraped every year, starving to death how many poor people were? ”

"Besides, big brother! Let's just let them return the dirty silver of corruption and give it to our poor people! Is it too late for the world to applaud? The common people have to support you more to be the emperor all the time!"

Seeing that Li Zicheng was still pinching his chin and hesitating, Liu Zongmin simply slapped his thigh: "Big brother, don't care about these dirty officials, let's take those big eunuchs first!" No one will say anything about killing the eunuch, right? ”

The eunuch's reputation among the people is not good, but this made Li Zicheng finally give his mouth, tilted his head, and shouted at the door.

"Come on, find that eunuch, the king's heart!"

…………

Now is the time for the new dynasty to behave, and when he heard that Li Zicheng recruited himself to meet him, this fat and fat dead eunuch was simply happy, and he ran into the platform with a fat body and ran into the platform rice cake like a sudden lying on the ground.

"Long live the old slave to see Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

Seeing that this peanut-like big white fat man is so polite, and it is not bad to be served by eunuchs these days, Li Zicheng is not embarrassed to move rough as soon as he comes up, and coughs lightly at first.

"That, there is no silver in the treasury of the household department, you first take 100,000 taels of silver to save the emergency, and Lao Tzu will pay the army!"

With this sentence, Wang Zhixin's fat face suddenly turned green, Chongzhen raised donations before, and promised to repay the tax to double it, but he didn't donate, this time he asked him for 100,000 taels, don't you want his life? The face immediately drooped, and he was like a rice cake again, and he couldn't stop kowtowing.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is the subordinate who serves people in the palace, where is so much silver! The old slave really can't take it out! Please spare the old slave! ”

Seeing that he was crying pitifully, Li Zicheng was really fooled, and he had also seen a few little eunuchs around him, he was really poor, and he had no choice but to cut the baby given by his father and mother with a click, and entered the palace as a slave.

But before Li Zicheng could speak, Liu Zongmin had already rolled forward with his big feet, rolled him on a big horse, and spittled and scolded.

"Fucking eggless thing! Don't fool Brother Lao Tzu, the house is yours when you go out of Xizhimen, saying that you have no money!"

"The eldest brother will give this dead rabbit to his brother, and the brother will show you his hands and pull out the dead rabbit oil!"

I was a little unbearable just now, but as soon as I heard that this product was so rich and deceived myself, Li Zicheng suddenly became angry, and shouted with a slap.

"Drag it off!"
