Chapter 66: Willing to Donate All

Chongzhen saw that the anger of the people had been ignited, and turned his head to Li Guozhen and said, "Li Guozhen, are you going to rebel?" ”

"The minister is afraid, the minister doesn't dare, but the minister is thinking about the country, the emperor, these officials are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty!"

What, could it be that I have said so much to the people, and you Li Guozhen can't understand anything?

"These are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty? Li Richao, show Xiangcheng Bo how much money these officials have donated at the moment of the great enemy. ”

Li Richao presented these officials' donation slips to Li Guozhen with both hands, and Li Guozhen didn't look at it and knew that these people wouldn't donate much, so he didn't accept it, but said, "Your Majesty, I don't have many officials in the court, so I can't get much money." ”

"There are not many people in this dynasty, but these princesses are supported by them? How many fiefs did Emperor Taizu Chengzu give them? They oppressed the people of the fiefdom and forced the people to rebel? Daming newspaper on the Daming wealth list, clearly recorded the property of these public candidates. If you don't believe in the Daming Daily Wealth List, Li Richao, show the file of Jinyiwei to Xiangcheng Bo, and by the way, show Xiangcheng Bo how many properties these princesses have! Xu Yunzhen, the Duke of Dingguo, has tens of millions of family fortunes in his family, and he is no exception to Chengguo Gong. Chongzhen looked at Cheng Guogong and said.

Cheng Guogong lowered his head and didn't dare to reply, he could only pretend to be stupid at this time.

"But, Your Majesty, if you kill all these officials, Da Ming's qi and blood will be greatly injured, and Da Ming will be finished!" Li Guozhen said

Listening to Li Guozhen's defense of these royal relatives, princes and ministers, Chongzhen finally understood! This Li Guozhen is also an uncle, he is a Xiangcheng uncle, and the interests of him and these officials are both prosperous and detrimental. Li Guozhen took over the position of governor of Jingying, and he knew how serious the corruption in Jingying was, but did he say it? He didn't! He defended his predecessor!

Chongzhen no longer uses these princesses, and decides to replace them with "you, you!" ”

"Da Ming is not finished, it's not up to you! Li Thief's 500,000 army came to attack the city, and the defense of the capital was fought under your command or under my command! ”

This Li Guozhen led the team to win a big victory, right, without me, can you win? If you can win, you won't go out of the city and surrender in the first place!

"Your Majesty, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated"

Speaking of arrogance, this Li Guozhen turned so fast!

"Am I proud? I'm just worried that I won't be able to defeat it, and I'm mobilizing the people of the whole city to work together to defend against the enemy! ”

"Your Majesty, look at it, the ancestors of these officials are all titles that have been accumulated by the blood and sweat of Emperor Taizu Chengzu, they are old and young!"

"Your Majesty, let my son go," said an old woman.

"Your Majesty, let my father go." The voice of a little boy.

"Your Majesty, you let go of my father-in-law" a woman's voice.

Hehe, these people are starting to sell pity now, and it's okay to sell pitiful, and they don't even need to "beg".

"Their ancestors are revered, but are they worthy of the fame of their ancestors? They are old and young, but aren't these people, these soldiers, old and young? They are the pillars of their family, the only hope for their family, but they still stand up and fight to defend the Ming Dynasty! What about you, you royal relatives and princes and ministers, watching the soldiers guarding the Ming Dynasty starving, and refusing to share a piece of leftovers at home! ”

"But there's no need to kill so many officials!"

"You princes, only look out for yourselves! If the Qing army captures the city, will your property be kept? At the moment of the great enemy, you don't think about how to defend against foreign enemies, you only want to keep your property, and you don't hesitate to threaten the princess's life for this! Ignoring the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji! To resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is not by the hundreds of princes of you, but by the soldiers of the whole city, and by the people of the whole city. ”

"The emperor is right! Soldiers, soldiers! The emperor's policy of eating together for the whole people is to let every common people have food to eat and have the strength to resist the Qing demons, these princesses only care about their property, if we starve to death, who will defend them! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Ming Dynasty! ”

Chongzhen followed the voice and looked over, it was Li Yan, he and Song Xiance were standing among the people, there were too many people, and they couldn't come over.

When the people saw that someone in the crowd had taken the lead, and the emperor was also on their side, they all shouted,

"Long live the emperor! Long live the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Long live the emperor! Long live the Ming Dynasty! ”

Li Guozhen saw that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for him, and the dog jumped over the wall and said, "Your Majesty, if you insist on killing these officials and robbing our family wealth, Weichen will be on the side of the king!" ”

"Hmph, Li Guozhen, you dare to say Qingjun's side! Zhu Yousong in Nanjing and Zhu Changshu in Hangzhou also said that they wanted to be on the side of the Qing monarch, but the Qing army passed, they sat on an army of 400,000, and in the face of the Qing army of 200,000, they surrendered, and the 400,000 army did not pick up swords and guns to fight against the Qing demons, but picked up swords and guns to rob the daughters of the people and the people's money and filial piety to the Qing demons. How many of these people are from military families! didn't defend their wives and daughters' money, so they robbed each other of their comrades' wives and daughters and gave them to Qing Demon! Soldiers of the Beijing camp, where did you and I go to resist Li Zicheng's 500,000-strong army? Are you willing to go hungry and go hungry for these royal relatives, princes and ministers to snatch the wives and daughters of the defenseless people and give them to the demons? I'm ashamed if you will! ”

The soldiers in the Beijing camp behind Li Guozhen were all from military households, and they were usually forced by their superiors to be free laborers, and when they heard Chongzhen say this, they all hesitated.

"I don't want to, we want to fight the demon with the emperor!"

Those kneeling princes and ministers of the imperial family saw that the Beijing battalion soldiers brought by Li Guozhen had all returned to Chongzhen, and knew that it was impossible to expect Li Guozhen to convince the emperor, so they begged one after another.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to donate it all, please let me go!"

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to donate all and live and die with Daming!"

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to donate all and live and die with Daming!"

"Okay, in that case, I can no longer pursue it, I hope you will dismiss the domestic servants when you go back today, the men will enter the barracks when they are ten years old, and all the women will enter the logistics department, ready to fight at any time!"

"But there are two people that I have to kill! Let's take these two people as the Ming sacrifice flag! Chongzhen said, "Bring Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, and Zhou Kui, the Emperor of the Kingdom, over!" ”

After Zhu Chunchen and Zhou Kui were escorted over, Chongzhen asked, "Are you two guilty?" ”

Zhu Chunchen and Zhou Kui said that they didn't know, and after Chongzhen told the queen and Yuan Guifei about poisoning the prince and princess, the two of them all wilted. Chongzhen ordered the Jinyi guards to behead Zhu Chunchen and Zhou Kui to show the public!

"Your Majesty, has the minister returned to Beijing?" Li Guozhen looked like he was fine, so he wanted to escape.

"Li Guozhen, don't be the governor of Beijing, from today onwards, you will be a soldier in Beijing."
