The thick smoke and fire did not cover up the magnificence and magnificence of this imperial capital, and in the sound of heavy horses' hooves, under the guidance of more than a dozen Dashun and Li Zi banners, with the attitude of a conqueror, Li Zicheng was shaking along the central axis of the Beijing Division, all the way towards the palace.

While swaying with the war horse, he was still fascinated by the shops and temples on both sides of the road, and the mansion compound.

However, in the midst of the bustle, the traces of last night's war are also messy on both sides of the road, and from time to time a burned house, even if Li Zicheng's royal car is still cleaning up in front, in the rude and messy shouting of the small leader, those Shunjun sergeants wearing floral clothes and rags dragged the corpses back in a panic, dragging bloody traces on the bluestone street.

In some places, there were even Li Zicheng who had not cleaned them up yet, and those displaced people army hurriedly retreated to the side.

When Qin Shi Huang went out on patrol, the military vehicles were dignified, the armor was forested, and when he went to a city, the residents of the city were all kneeling and kowtowing to the soldiers on both sides, and the rules were clear, this momentum was so strong that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, who watched this scene, issued a big husband at the same time! He can take his place! But look at the Dashun army, although it has been established and the country has been established, but there is still a lack of this kind of rule, Li Zicheng has passed by cars and horses, and the soldiers on both sides of the road should still be busy with something, and there are even small laughter.

Li Zicheng doesn't care about this!

What's even more black and interesting is that what really made Li Zicheng rush to courtesy was actually Chongwen Gate, Zhengyang Gate and other city gates, and met the group of officials who descended from the Ming Dynasty.

First of all, Emperor Chongzhen trusted the most, and the eunuch Wang Dehua, who had been brought over from the time of the letter to the palace, collected one or two hundred remaining eunuchs in the palace, and regardless of whether Li Zicheng wanted it or not, he first kowtowed in front of the horse, and then put on a posture with great fanfare, and marched towards the main gate with the mighty Dashun army, as if he had regarded himself as a eunuch of the new dynasty.

More than half an hour ago, the Jingyang bell had already sounded through the palace, but unfortunately, there was not a single official minister who came to the court, the Ming Dynasty was not without loyal ministers, Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital, Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household, and Fan Wenjing Ma Shiqi and others, either hanged themselves, or took their families to fight to death in Jingshi Lane, but this number was too small only thirty or forty, and most of the bureaucrats surrendered.

It's really neat, the first assistant of the cabinet, Wei Zaode, the second assistant, Li Jiantai, even the former first assistant Chen Yan, who was Chongzhen Zhishi, was cheekily squeezed into the team, and the six yamen, except for the lack of Ni Yuanlu of the household department, and Zhang Jinyan, the military department who was still a little face, almost all came, and then counted the six departments, civil officials, and more than 1,000 bureaucrats all discharged the momentum of the Great Dynasty Meeting.

Chongzhen's last words, I am not the king of the dead country, all the ministers are the ministers of the dead country! and Wenchen can be killed! From this point of view, it is not unreasonable!

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Seeing Li Zicheng's car coming, according to the big and small kings, the famous three worships and nine knocks of the Ming Dynasty were revealed in front of Zhengyang Gate, and the neat momentum, even if Li Zicheng was a little confused, he couldn't help but raise his head and ask.

"Who are you?"

"Back to Your Majesty!"

It is even more subservient than the cloth under Jiannu's rule, Wei Zaode rushed to the front and kowtowed and replied.

"The old and new have been in for three years, and they are also bothering the first assistant! The Lord of the Ming Dynasty did not listen to his ministers in the past, which led to today's disaster, and the Holy Son of Heaven has come to meet him!"

Although it is a lie, Li Zicheng's anti-corruption officials are not anti-emperor, and he has already shown his attitude towards these old ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

"Since you are a scholar of the first auxiliary university, you are deeply favored and trusted by the emperor, and you have a heavy responsibility, and now that the Ming Dynasty has fallen, you are neither dead nor dead, what are you doing to come to see Lao Tzu?"

The more shameless words came, kowtowing and showing a disgusting smile on his face, Wei Zaode shouted again and again.

"How dare the minister die, the minister needs to keep a useful body to serve the new dynasty! A piece of pure devotion to Your Majesty! ”

Greedy for life and afraid of death said it so high-soundingly, even if Li Zicheng was a little speechless, he simply laughed a few times angrily, pointing at Wei Zaode, who was there with a servile face, Li Zicheng slapped him in annoyance.

"Someone, take it away! Leave it to General Kwon at his disposal!"

In the frightened eyes of those kneeling ministers, several Dashun soldiers dragged Wei Zaode like a rear army, even if he arrived here, this first auxiliary scholar did not give up, while kicking, he still stretched out his hand at the throat, and shouted reluctantly.

"The minister is a scholar of the first dynasty, and His Majesty can give any official!"

turned a deaf ear and sent Wei Zaode away, and then Li Zicheng directly ordered the guards to open the way, and the Dashun Xiaoqi on both sides waved their whips, crackling and whipping, and drove these civil servants and hundreds of officials to both sides as if they were driving cattle, Chen Yan was whipped on the head, the black yarn fell off, and some farts and urine flowed backwards.

But this can be regarded as Li Zicheng's first political mistake! Wei Zaode is disgusting, but these demotion is also despicable, but what they represent, after all, is the central court of the Ming Dynasty, and they take the initiative to vote, which also represents the intention of these old bureaucrats to accommodate the new dynasty, and also represents the attitude of a huge elite landlord class.

It can be said that they have received them, at least the remaining northern provinces have received them, and even have the great influence of the southern provinces, as for those who can't be seen, there will be opportunities to settle accounts after the autumn in the future, just like Zhu Yuanzhang, who just captured Yingtian, immediately changed his attitude, followed the Confucian Naxian, and whitewashed himself from a rebel peasant leader to a representative of the elite landlord class.

After becoming the emperor, how many corrupt officials and heroes were killed under his hands, but he still did not mistake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for more than 280 years.

But Li Zicheng is a true lover, with everyone's joy and anger above the country, missed this first opportunity to contact, seeing the rolling tide of the Dashun army into the palace, the two ranks of more than 1,000 officials and nobles are all pale, frightened eyes for a long time, and finally helplessly scattered and retreated.

…………

At this time, the Forbidden City is a bit of gold and jade, and the feeling of being ruined in it, after the tall Chengtianmen City Building enters, the large square between the Taihe Gate and the Taihe Hall is full of debris and garbage left by the eunuchs and palace maids after they fled, and there is constantly black smoke coming out from behind the palace, and I don't know where the fire has not been extinguished.

But this did not delay Li Zicheng was shocked by the towering and majestic palace attic, looking high at the majestic Taihe Palace, he couldn't help but get off the horse, walked up, followed him, the leaders of the Dashun army, Niu Jinxing, Song Qijiao, etc. also turned over and dismounted, and walked straight up to the main hall along the carved dragon and phoenix Shinto, and then sat down on the dragon chair where Chongzhen had summoned hundreds of officials.

Finally, he also got the approval of his old brothers, Niu Jinxing took the lead, and the general Dashun leader and ministers knelt on the ground in an uproar, kowtowing in a mess.

"Meet His Majesty!"

The messy one is about to catch up with the monkey to worship the monkey king, but it still provokes Li Zicheng and Yan Dayue, laughed and said with a slap.

"Well said! Well said!"

"Big brother has finally sat in the Dragon Court, and the world will be our brother's in the future! Hahahaha!"

Without waiting for Li Zicheng's order, Liu Zongmin, the general Quan, had already jumped up excitedly, shouting loudly at the tiger Li Guo is eyes were shining and looking at the golden dragon chair, coaxing there.

"Uncle, they all say that this emperor is rich all over the world, and now this palace has been beaten down by us, you can take our brothers to open their eyes!"

Sitting on the dragon chair, he was happy, and Li Zicheng was not stunned, and nodded his fingers with a smile.

"You! Mud legs! It's not profitable, just thinking about that little money!"

However, as soon as his tone changed, he shook his head at Wang Dehua, the big eunuch who followed with his dead face.

"Lao Li sits in the Dragon Court, this world is ours, take Lao Tzu and these brothers to the emperor's treasure house to have a look!"

"Your Majesty wants to look at the treasury ......"

As soon as this was mentioned, Wang Dehua's flabby old face suddenly revealed a look of embarrassment, but when he saw Li Zicheng's complexion, he immediately became gloomy.

"What, no?"

"Huh? Yes! Yes! Yes! The old slave is leading for His Majesty! Your Majesty wants to inspect the household treasury or the treasury first? ”

"Don't they all say that the household department is in charge of the world? Take me Lao Li to the household department first!"

Seeing the leader who led a group of hillbillies into the city, this Li Zicheng turned around to leave, but Niu Jinxing was in a hurry, and hurriedly bent down and bowed.

"King Chuang! It is imperative to arrest the Ming Lord Chongzhen and the prince and others first, and it will change later! ”

"Lao Li even beat his Jingshi, what can he change? Prime Minister, if you're worried, go find it yourself! Lao Li will go and see it first!"

Find it yourself! Niu Jinxing didn't stop him, and bowed heavily and said, "Obey the order!"

The civil and military forces of the Dashun Army were suddenly divided into two groups, one group followed King Chuang to open his eyes like the uncle and aunt of the tour, and the other group went to the harem with murderous spirit.

…………

"This ......, this is the treasure house of the emperor?"

What does it mean to come with a good time and return with a bad heart! I went to the household treasury first, the grain depot was better, there were some left-sweeping corners of the Chen Mi Kuer, barely starved to death of mice, the silver treasury was simply empty, all the big boxes were bitten out of the hole by the rats, and I didn't see the silver, I went back to the palace, and finally turned out forty or fifty thousand taels of silver and some of the rest, plus a piece of less than 100,000 taels, barely a fortune, but this is compared to the quarrel of the Qin Wangfu, the Jin Wangfu, the Fu Wangfu, the gold and silver sea, the poor and sour are about to drop the price! It's not just those courtiers of Dashun, even Li Zicheng himself is full of disbelief, and then he suddenly appeared suspiciously, volunteered to lead the way, and it was also the great eunuch Wang Xin who came out of Chongzhen's palace and invested in the past.

But when it comes to this, the dead fat eunuch is also angry, and the rice cake is on the ground with a chirp.

"Back to Your Majesty, except for the two warehouses of the inner and outer palaces, there is no place to store silver, and the silver treasury dried up as early as last winter! A while ago, His Majesty solicited donations from the ministers, and a group of nobles and relatives took out 200,000 taels after deducting and searching.

"If those royal officials weren't so stingy, why now?"

Full of indignation, Wang Zhixin complained with a sour stomach, but as soon as the words came out, he realized that this was a new dynasty, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the person in front of him if the hundred officials helped him? He hurriedly slammed his fat head on the ground again, and kept kowtowing.

"Fortunately, these people are blind, which paved the way for the Holy Son of Heaven, speaking of which, they are still meritorious!"

"Meritorious?"

Looking at the empty silver vault, Li Zicheng couldn't help but sneer, and immediately, his gaze fell back on Wang Zhixin, who kept kowtowing, and Wang Zhixin, whose head was facing the ground and his butt was facing the sky, didn't notice it, and that look was like looking at a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

…………

The silver treasury is empty, naturally there is nothing to do, Dashun does not have so many rules, they all entered the palace, each leader divided a place, and went to spend the night, but the best rule is still left to King Chuang, under the leadership of the little eunuch, Li Zicheng went straight to the harem again.

Niu Jinxing stopped in front of the gate of Kunning Palace, where the soldiers of the Dashun Army were cleaning up the bloody remnants of last night's cruelty.

"King Chuang, those eunuchs have identified and found Chongzhen's queen Zhou! There is also Zhang Yan, the former queen mother, all committed suicide and martyrdom, at this time, there is no way for Chongzhen and the prince to go down, some people say that Chongzhen fled to the back of the palace with his personal eunuch, and the prince was taken out of the palace by the inner eunuch!"

The cruelty and slaughter of the literati are vividly displayed here by Niu Jinxing, who bowed down ruthlessly, gritted his teeth and said viciously.

"King Chuang, the whole city should be arrested immediately! Don't let Chongzhen and the prince escape from Jingshi City, so as not to change. ”

"This is Empress Chongzhen?"

When he was dying, he was still resolute and calm, and it happened that Queen Zhou was also put down from the beam and carried out, I have to admit that although Emperor Chongzhen was jealous, cruel, indecisive and happy for his political achievements, but in terms of diligence and thrift, he can definitely be called a model for the emperors of all dynasties.

Seeing him go, Li Zicheng, who had just returned from the two libraries, was first full of emotion, and then full of ridicule, sneering disdainfully.

"There are ministers like that! What else can there be repeatedly? There is no need to make a big fanfare, block the nine gates, and then issue a reward order to those faint officials, hand over the crown prince Yongwang, official, it won't be long before these faint officials have to rush to send a few people to Lao Tzu!"

Looking at Li Zicheng's self-confident one-eyed, and then thinking about the ugliness of hundreds of officials kneeling to greet him, Niu Jinxing did not insist, but gave a big thumbs up.

"Break the king, Gao is also !!"
