It has been seven days since the Dashun army entered the city, everything seems to be calm, but the underwater dark tide is surging, but not everyone can see it, especially the Dashun soldiers, they are becoming more and more restless, they are all discussing, when to go back to Shaanxi, there is their hometown, for Beijing, they do not remember much, even if the flowers are blooming here, it is still difficult to resist homesickness. After seeing it, they didn't think there was anything great about Beijing City, wasn't it still broken by them in two days?

The anxiety of the soldiers is not the most deadly, but those in the upper echelons, Li Zicheng, the emperor of the Dashun Army, began to sing songs night and night, nostalgic for the gentle countryside of Beijing City, the wonderful and colorful palace maids, wine and delicacies, are consuming Li Zicheng's will little by little, since the court meeting a few days ago, Li Zicheng has not appeared in public.

and Li Zicheng's henchman Niu Jinxing, too, has been carried away by the victory of taking Beijing City, busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony, building government and setting up officials, ushering in worship, and living a life of spending days and wine, all of this is just a microcosm of the Dashun Army.

"The imperial treasury is empty, and the silver in the treasury is less than 10,000 taels, although the officials from all over the country have taken office, but the emperor has issued an edict: no taxes for three years, what to do with the next operation of the imperial court, how to distribute the salaries of various officials, how to solve the salaries of the soldiers of the army, if there is a disaster, what to use to help the victims, which one does not need silver."

"Then why don't you go and pay tribute to the emperor?"

Among the Dashun army, there is no shortage of far-sighted people, Li Yan and Song Xiance are two of them, it has only been a few days since they entered Beijing, all these changes make them worried, everyone thinks that the war is over, they can disarm and return to the field, and go to live a peaceful life, but they don't see that there is still the Manchu Qing outside the Guan, Wu Sangui, who controls the life of the Guanwai, is still wavering, and has not announced the annexation, and Jiangnan, which is the tax center of the Ming Dynasty, has not yet been truly passed on!

Li Yan shook his head helplessly, took a sip of wine, and sighed: "I went to the book, the emperor only gave a three-word response, I know, I wanted to say something more, but I was retired, after entering the city, the emperor took a fancy to Dou Meiyi, lingered in it all day, and didn't listen to me at all." ”

"Don't you say it, I also saw it, the generals with status are busy choosing palace concubines, the emperor himself chose Chongzhen's concubine Dou Meiyi, and also gave Chongzhen's little maid Fei Zhen'e to the young general Luo Hu, I heard that they will be married in two days, so if it goes on, I am afraid that in another month or two, no one will be able to use knives and guns, and Gentle Township is the most vicious!" Song Xiance is also very straightforward, what Li Yan is worried about is also what he is worried about, if he is not careful, then it is very likely that he will give up all his efforts, or even never recover!

"Report ......" Just when the two were relatively speechless, a Dashun sergeant came to the two and bowed: "Two adults, great... Big... It's a big deal, Jinyiwei is on fire......"

"What?" Song Xiance and Li Yan almost jumped up, both were shocked, if only one Jinyi Wei was burned, it would be burned, it didn't matter, the big deal was under construction, the key was that King Yong and King Ding were imprisoned in Jinyiwei, if there was an accident, the consequences would be serious, others would know, they would definitely think that this was Li Zicheng's doing, and then the impact would be huge, and it would not cause many Ming Dynasty relics to hold grudges, things were already messy enough, and they couldn't go on any longer.

"Quick, mobilize the patrol soldiers and horses to fight the fire!" Li Yan immediately ordered.

"I just said that the prince of Chongzhen should be temporarily placed in the palace, also just in case, but Niu Jinxing said that the son of Emperor Chongzhen is already a relict of the previous dynasty, and he cannot live in the deep palace, then you should be properly settled, but it shows that the prince Zhu Cihong is very important, and he should be imprisoned in the forbidden palace, so as not to be used to make trouble, but he has placed King Yong and King Ding in Jinyiwei, which is really a stupid trick!" Li Yan was also angry at the moment, and he became more and more dissatisfied with Niu Jinxing, if it wasn't for Li Yan's recommendation, Niu Jinxing would still be teaching in the countryside, but now that the scenery is beautiful, he began to exclude these old friends, Li Yan also saw it in his eyes, and his heart was angry.

"Forget it, stop complaining about anything, hurry up and see the situation!" Song Xiance also stopped Li Yan's nagging, what is the use of saying these at this time. Or the most important thing is to deal with the problem.

When Li Yan and Song Xiance came to the Jinyi Guard near Daming Gate, the fire had basically been controlled, and many city patrol soldiers were waving buckets and wooden basins in their hands, throwing the water inside, and in front of them was a scorched ruin.

"Where are the kings of Yong and Ding?" Li Yan stepped forward and pulled Luo Hu, who was directing the firefighting, and asked very eagerly.

"Mr. Li, I don't know, I've just arrived for a while, and I haven't had time to understand the situation yet, who knows where they are, maybe they've already been buried in the fire!"

"You......" Li Yan also had an expression of hatred for iron and steel, and he didn't know how to say it.

"Report ...... General Luo had just inquired about the soldiers who had escaped, and said that King Yong and King Ding had been taken away two hours earlier, and they were people sent by Lord Niu. ”

"That's good! Someone sent by Niu-sama? Li Yan just breathed a sigh of relief, but soon felt that something was wrong, Niu Jinxing didn't even have time to see him these days, he was busy with the enthronement ceremony, how could he have time to meet Chongzhen's prince, what to do with them, is there no need for this at all, just two children, what is there to see, even if you ask about the enthronement ceremony, there are those court ministers.

"Do you think something is wrong?" Song Xiance was also full of doubts, he and Li Yan had the same thoughts.

"Go to Bull Venus!" Both of them said in unison.

At this moment, Niu Jinxing's mansion, it is singing and dancing to promote peace, and it is happy, many Ming Dynasty ministers and Dashun courtiers who followed their westward expedition are gathered in Niu Jinxing's mansion, called the enthronement ceremony, in fact, it is a private gift, everyone knows Niu Jinxing's status in Li Zicheng, and they all hope to open a gap from him, so as to get a piece of the pie, and become a Dashun courtier from the Ming courtier.

Niu Jinxing drank the world spinning, the original sallow face was full of red, he was already delirious, it was difficult to deal with any major things, wine and food, singing and beauties, that is what Niu Jinxing has been looking forward to but can't get, I didn't expect to get it all today, he naturally wants to squander it and be presumptuous.
