When Emperor Chongzhen woke up, he was really sad, the ancestral grave was dug up, such a thing was put on ordinary people, it was also a groundbreaking thing, not to mention that it happened to the king of a country at this time.

"Zhou Yanru, I want to break that Li thief's body into thousands of pieces, a thousand knives, I want to punish his nine clans!"

"Go, I order you to gather a million troops, and today I will capture that Li thief, and I will personally execute him!" ，，，

Emperor Chongzhen howled one after another, frightening the eunuchs and palace maids who served them all trembling, for fear that they would obstruct Emperor Chongzhen's eyes, pull out the cane and kill him, and lose his life.

"Emperor, Emperor, you have to take care of the dragon body, you must not have anything to do, Emperor,,,"

That Wang Chengen looked at Emperor Chongzhen like this, and his heart was also heartbroken, and his eyes were full of tears.

When Queen Zhou on the side saw it, she also burst into tears, hugging Emperor Chongzhen tightly, hoping to appease Emperor Chongzhen with her warm embrace.

At this time, only Empress Zhou and Wang Chengen were with Emperor Chongzhen, but there was no one.

On April 27, the ninth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to blame himself for Li Zicheng's burning of the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum, admitting that it was his lack of benevolence that angered God, and this is such a punishment.

Emperor Chongzhen's behavior also made many officials breathe a sigh of relief.

Those local officials, especially the officials in charge of Fengyang Mansion, when they learned that Emperor Chongzhen did not go to prison, they all walked as if they had walked in front of the ghost gate, and they were panicked to burn incense and make vows.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the five provinces who was suppressing bandits in Sichuan, learned that Emperor Chongzhen did not condemn him, but only encouraged him to be ashamed and brave, and to arrest the Li thief and Zhang thief as soon as possible.

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and bowed to the eunuchs who came to read the holy decree with great respect, and tears were flashing in his eyes.

This time Li Zicheng burned the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, and he Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of the five provinces who was responsible for suppressing bandits, so the crime was naturally inexcusable, and if Emperor Chongzhen really committed the crime, then he would have nothing to say.

But what Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect was that this matter was undertaken by Emperor Chongzhen alone.

As a courtier, the king can do this, what else can he say, what else can he do except give his life to serve!

So Lu Xiangsheng kept throwing himself into the action of strangling Zhang Xianzhong again.

In addition, Lu Xiangsheng also ordered Zhou Yuji to lead 3,000 soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion, and Cao Wenzhao to lead 3,000 soldiers of the border army to rush to Henan together.

However, Lu Xiangsheng still underestimated Li Zicheng's development speed, and when he burned the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, he once again recruited troops and coerced the people, but in ten days, he gathered 100,000 people under his command, and claimed to be 500,000 to the outside world.

After recruiting soldiers and horses, Li Zicheng immediately began to lead the army to kill the Kaifeng Mansion.

As a historical city, Kaifeng Mansion was once the ancient capital of the Xia Dynasty, not only that, but he was also the capital of the Wei State during the Warring States Period, as well as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Kaifeng Mansion was still the capital of the Later Liang, the Later Han, the Later Jin, and the Later Zhou, and finally to Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe, he was still the capital of the Song Dynasty.

Such a historical city, naturally has an extraordinary influence, if the Kaifeng Mansion is occupied, it will be of great help to Li Zicheng's take-off again.

When the civil and military officials of Kaifeng Prefecture learned that Li Zicheng led an army of 500,000 to attack, they were so frightened that they panicked and hurriedly closed the city gate, and a curfew was also imposed in the city.

At the same time, he also sent one fast horse after another to urgently ask the court for help, hoping that the court would send reinforcements to rescue him.

In the mansion of King Zhou in Kaifeng Mansion, the new prefect of Kaifeng Mansion Wang Yongnian came to visit.

Zhu Gongxiao, the king of Zhou, learned that Wang Yongnian had come to visit, but he didn't dare to ask for it, so he summoned him in the palace.

"The lord of the domain, it is now that Li Thief is here with heavy troops, it can be described as menacing, my Kaifeng Mansion is in danger, but the soldiers and horses of the court are far away for a while and cannot quench the thirst of the near, and now my Kaifeng Mansion can really be said to have no soldiers, no pay, so like this, how to defend the city?"

Having said this, Wang Yongnian no longer went around in circles, so he said directly: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to ask the feudal lord to donate generously and subsidize money and grain as military salaries, so that you can recruit troops to defend the city!" ”

If Wang Yongnian said this before, then Zhou Wang Zhu Gongyu would not take out the money anyway, and the reason is naturally very simple, because the imperial court is afraid of the repetition of the Yongle Emperor's affairs, so for hundreds of years, the imperial court has been extremely strict with the vassal kings in various places, and if they are not careful, the vassal kings may be killed.

Therefore, in many cases, in the face of local officials' requests for donations and salaries, the various vassal kings are also helpless, in fact, it is not that they are reluctant to take the money, but often dare not take it, for fear that after taking it, the court will settle accounts with them after the autumn.

But at this time, where did Zhu Gongyu, the king of Zhou, dare to have any concerns, the last time Azig attacked the Fengfu, the prefect at that time also asked him to donate a salary, he didn't give it, and finally the city was broken, and his Zhou Wangfu was almost slaughtered.

Later, although Wanhua did not embarrass him, he also swept away all his money and treasures, but money is something outside his body after all, and it is best to survive.

Li Zicheng is here this time, where does Zhu Gongqi dare to be lucky, you must know that this Li Zicheng has just set fire to his ancestral grave, if he is allowed to come in, how can he live!

"Lord Wang, please wait a moment, this domain will go and order someone to fetch gold and silver."

Zhu Gongyu didn't drag his feet, but agreed to donate money, which made Wang Yongnian inexplicably excited.

Wasn't this Zhu Gongqiao's gold and silver treasures swept away by Wanhua? How can there still be money?

This is thanks to the instinctive preparedness of our ancestors for crises.

The so-called cunning rabbit three holes, the ancestors of everything like to calculate the bad things in advance, and then make prevention, and this week the Wang family is no exception.

As early as a hundred years ago, the contemporary king of Zhou at that time buried millions of taels of gold and silver in the ground, so that future generations could tide over difficulties with it, which came in handy at this time.

The gold and silver were buried in the back garden, and Zhu Gongyu ordered someone to dig for a long time according to his father's explanation, and this was the passage to the underground secret room, and finally carried thirty percent of the gold and silver from it, totaling 30,000 taels of gold and 300,000 taels of silver.
