Chengtianmen.

"Thank you!"

Princess Kunxing said in a low voice.

At this time, it is already the next morning, after a rain and snow, the sky finally clears, the sun rises in the east, the morning sun is full of sky, a few faint greenery in the ancient city reminds people that this is actually the spring of March, but the Xiaoice River period is indeed worthy of its name, it is almost the end of March of the lunar calendar and there is still a sleet, this era is indeed much colder than modern, if according to the Western calendar at this time it is almost May Day, even the temperature in Beijing has to be about 20 degrees.

"Don't worry, princess, as long as I don't die, I will protect you."

Yang Qing said in a low voice.

Princess Kunxing's face immediately turned red.

"Hmph, what about me?"

Her sister said dissatisfied.

"Of course it's the same!"

Yang Qing hurriedly said with a smile.

He had already retreated Princess Kunxing's wounds, and when he took out the packet of medicine that still carried body temperature from his arms, Her Royal Highness the princess was obviously in tears, as for the reason why he came back late, it was mainly because he was flirting with women from good families and delaying too much time, this kind of thing must not be said.

Poor Yuanyuan is still in Fang Zetan!

Chongzhen, who was not far away, glanced at them expressionlessly.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was standing at the main gate of this imperial city that no longer belonged to him, Yang Qingpao's evil deeds did not attract much attention from him, and then he turned his head and showed a sneer, and then looked condescendingly at the ministers who were walking across the Jinshui Bridge.

And to the south of Jinshui Bridge, there is a continuous influx of people from the East and West Chang'an and Daming Three Gates, and then gathered, they are like those ministers looking at Chongzhen on the Chengtian Gate with doubt, and on the surrounding city walls are Shunjun soldiers standing with weapons, Li Zicheng is wearing armor and sitting not far from Chongzhen, drinking tea while looking down with a smile.

This scene is obviously a little weird!

At this time, Chongzhen even put on the crown, which was completely the most solemn posture, and next to him was Wang Chengen, Yang Qing was also wearing the flying fish suit he had just given after flattering the princess, with the embroidered spring knife that he said was a royal gift, but it was actually an embroidered spring knife that Li Laiheng wanted, and then walked to the other side of Chongzhen, just as the eunuch brocade guard was gathered next to the emperor, and the two minions of the imperial power served the emperor in the middle one by one, facing the former Ming Gonggong princes.

And around them are a gang of thieves.

This style of painting is indeed very strange.

"Zhuqing, don't come to harm!"

Chongzhen looked at his princes and ministers with a smile and said.

The latter all bowed their heads.

A few obviously wanted to leave, they didn't know that they were here to see Chongzhen, and most of the people didn't know what happened at night, Li Zicheng just summoned them and the people of the city to Chengtianmen, and they thought they were going to be called the emperor! They all ran over one by one, but Chongzhen was dumbfounded, how should I face this? Your Majesty, you are all buried in the ground, why did you crawl out of the corpse again? Why can't you lie quietly in the tomb of the Ming Dynasty and rot quietly, and you have to run out and be scared?

Alas, it's like not seeing each other!

But it's a pity that the Shun army at the head of the Jinshui Bridge immediately pulled out their swords.

These guys had no choice but to return to the team aggrievedly, and then squeeze into the crowd as much as possible, but because the vast majority of people had this idea, these huge teams including nobles, civil and military officials, and even many eunuchs and brocade guards were actually crowded together.

"Emperor Ming Yuchengtianmen, civil and military officials are here!"

Yang Qing shouted at the top of his voice.

The people of the south bank began to kneel down to worship.

But the princes of Gon still lowered their heads and pretended to be ostriches, and a few hesitated, but when they raised their heads and looked at Li Zicheng's smiling expression and the murderous Shun army around them, they still drew a line with the previous dynasty very sensibly. It is said that this is the third day of breaking the city, and Li Zicheng is also the second day of entering the city, those who are really loyal to Chongzhen have been eliminated, and the rest of the people who are still here on the edict of Li Zicheng are all like Wei Zhuangyuan, ready to repay with loyalty and bravery, at this time, it is obvious that Li Zicheng is testing whether they really have to die for Dashun, and they must not ruin their future for a little false name, although it is not easy to do anything else, but this kind of thing is still necessary to pretend to be stupid.

As a result, none of the princes of Gon moved forward.

"Wei Shoufu, what is there to say about bringing the country to this point?"

Chongzhen looked at Wei Zaode and said.

"Your Majesty, now that the matter has come to this, why do you need to say more, the destiny of the Great Tomorrow has ended, His Majesty the Emperor Dashun is the destiny of heaven, and the heavens should be the people, if Your Majesty knows the destiny of heaven, the Zen throne will be returned to the vassals of the early Zen position, and it will be the Duke of Shanyang."

Wei Zaode said awe-inspiringly.

Chongzhen smiled, and then turned his gaze to the crowd.

"Where is Cheng Guogong?"

Chongzhen said.

But no one answered.

"Didn't Cheng Guogong come?"

He said unexpectedly.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know Cheng Guogong, but do you think that?"

Yang Qing pointed to the innermost part of the crowd and asked cautiously.

Chongzhen found that his Chengguo Gong was actually lying on the ground, but instead of bowing to him, he stuck to the ground like a toad, because there were civil and military officials all around him with their heads down and crowding each other, so this guy lay on the ground like this and then drilled his head under other people's official uniforms, which was quite hidden. If it weren't for Yang Qing's good eyesight, even if Chongzhen was condescending, it would not be easy to find him, just when Yang Qing said this, the minister in front of Zhu Chunchen obviously squeezed forward with bad intentions, and Cheng Guogong, whose head was exposed all of a sudden, hurriedly moved forward again, and continued to burrow his head under his clothes.

"Monarchs and ministers, why is it like this!"

Chongzhen said with a smile.

Zhu Chunchen really can't face him, it's very difficult to sell the lord to seek glory, since that's the case, don't face it.

Chongzhen didn't continue to skin with him, after all, there were too many princes in front of him.

"Jiadingbo, why don't you look up and see me?"

He looked at Guozhang Zhou Kui and said.

Zhou Kui hurriedly shrank back, but the people behind him blocked it, and finally had to continue to stand there, raised his head in fear and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven came into being, how dare the old minister go against the sky?" ”

"Where is the prince of mine?"

Chongzhen said.

"Well, the old minister hasn't seen it."

Zhou Kui said.

"Your son went to his house, he closed the door and pretended not to let him in, and then he had to flee to a eunuch's house, the eunuch dedicated him to me, and your other two sons are now in the West Palace, I will not bully children, and your queen hanged herself, the body has just been found, your Yuan Guifei is also in the West Palace at the moment, and your sister-in-law fled to Zhu Chunchen's house, I asked people to carry her back to her own mother's house."

Li Zicheng said with a teacup.

"Thanks for your kindness!"

Chongzhen said expressionlessly.

"You're welcome!"

Li Zicheng said with a smile.

"Where is Uncle Xiangcheng?"

Chongzhen didn't pay any attention to him, and then shouted below.

"Li Guozhen can't come, he was locked up in Liu Zongmin's place, before I felt that he had a heavy army, so I sent someone to persuade him as long as he surrendered, he would take him as the first credit for breaking the city, he actually believed it, after meeting I scolded him, he actually looked at his face and said that I was willing to stay for the rest of my life to serve, since he has this heart, then I will let Liu Zongmin train him first."

Li Zicheng continued to say happily.

"Gong Gong Gong, Gong, this is my humerus minister!"

Chongzhen said with a smile instead of anger.

Obviously, this news stimulated him a lot, and he always thought that Li Guozhen was a loyal minister, originally in history, even if he knew that the first thing he did after Li Zicheng entered the Xuanwu Gate was to ask Li Guozhen, what about the big battalion soldiers under him? However, now he knew that he had cried and told him that he had no military salary, so the battalion soldiers couldn't stop Xiangchengbo of the Shun army at all, and he had already hooked up with Li Zicheng! I have long been ready to sell him for wealth! Pity these are the people he thinks are the most trustworthy! Wei Zaode's first assistant, Zhang Jinyan's military department was dispatched by the master, Li Jiantai resisted the enemy outside the gate of the Beijing Division, and Li Guozhen took charge of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division as the last line of defense.

Even at this moment, there is also the former Jinyi Guard's commander Zuo Du Luo Yangxing.

The only consolation is that the current conductor is not there.

But these are enough, and this can almost make up the entire Ming court!

"Your conscience is fed to the dog!"

Suddenly, he roared like an outburst.

"You will teach me, and I will cause trouble to my great tomorrow, Wei Zhongxian, well, I will abandon Wei Zhongxian and force him to commit suicide, and you will teach me to defend the country, and I will suppress the factory and respect you, etc., and you will teach me to raise taxes on the people, and also say that because the land is in the hands of the gentry, the tax increase is equivalent to collecting the wealth of the gentry to calm the people.

Why am I so stupid?

How did I believe you?

Raising taxes on the people is to collect the wealth of the gentry, and I can believe you in this kind of nonsense, which gentry does not pass on the land endowment to the tenants? Didn't all the taxes I raise in the end go to the poor who were already hungry and cold? Didn't the tax I added in the end become a means for the gentry to exploit the people? I was manipulated like a puppet, and I didn't know it in the praise of the Holy Lord Mingjun, and I made you a knife to cut the flesh of the people, and finally the people starved all over the wilderness, and had to rebel in order to survive.

And then what?

I personally sent people to cry and beg for help, begging all over the Manchu Dynasty to get 200,000 taels, do you have the courage to show your family business, who has less than 200,000 taels?

Li Zicheng, can't you find money?

I'll tell you where!

Right there they are, in the hands of these court pillars in front of them, just ask them for it, less than 10 million is considered a lie to you, but I sent people to cry and beg for only 200,000, in order to cry to me poor, they even ran to the street to sell those rags, so whether you can get it depends on your means! ”

Chongzhen turned his head and said to Li Zicheng almost viciously
