Several old eunuchs who were knocked to the ground, they saw Li Ming, got up from the ground regardless of the bleeding from his head, knelt on the ground at Li Ming, and cried loudly to help Chongzhen guard the spirit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Ming thought for a moment and said to several Far Eastern officers and soldiers next to him: "If the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace want to mourn the emperor, let them go." But you must maintain order, and there must be no chaos in the mourning hall. ”

Several old ladies listened to Li Ming's words, and they all raised their heads with broken eyes and looked at Li Ming in disbelief. They definitely didn't expect that the Far Eastern Army would be so generous that they would let them go to see the emperor's grandfather on his last journey.

So a group of eunuchs were desperately kowtowing to Li Ming, "banging" on the stone slab, and their foreheads were already bloodstained.

Li Ming ignored them and turned around and walked towards the Imperial Palace. Song Tao and the others also looked at these eunuchs kneeling on the ground with complicated faces, and then silently followed Li Ming.

The eunuchs in the square of the Imperial Palace also got the news, and many people cried with joy. But in the end, only a few people really dared to go to Emperor Chongzhen's mourning hall, and most of them were old eunuchs.

There are even fewer palace maids, who are now mainly worried about their own safety, and they still have the leisure to mourn the emperor. After all, in this era, women fall into the hands of the army, and their fate is often extremely tragic. If they encounter a brutal military leader, women will often become prostitutes, become the playthings of many soldiers, and finally be killed by scourge.

Emperor Chongzhen's mourning hall was built on the square outside the Donghua Gate, and a large number of eunuchs and palace maids were busy until night, and finally arranged the mourning hall.

In history, when Li Shimin entered Beijing, he ordered "those who offer the emperor will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and they will be made earl." Hidden, exterminated".

After Chongzhen's body was discovered, only a few eunuchs wrapped it in reed mats and placed it outside the Donghua Gate, and then changed it to a willow coffin, pillows with clods of soil, and found two monks to chant the scriptures. In the end, it was hastily buried, and the aftermath was not only shabby, but also very hasty.

The Far East attaches more importance to Chongzhen's funeral, Chongzhen's body wears a winged crown, wears a jade and gold robe, and is placed in a good red lacquered coffin, a table is placed in front of the spirit, and white table clothes are hung, and offerings, incense burners, wax tables and everlasting lamps are placed on the table. There are many monks, Taoist priests, nuns and Taoist aunts around, dressed in Dharma robes and holding legal instruments, constantly playing and chanting.

A large number of eunuchs and palace maids in filial piety clothes in the Forbidden City knelt around, crying desperately. They are the minions of the Heavenly Family, and Chongzhen's death is quite a blow to them. Moreover, Chongzhen was the last king of the country, and these eunuchs and palace maids were even more desperate in their hearts.

Although the specifications of this mourning hall are of course far from the scale of the emperor's death, it is definitely not small as a monarch of a dead country.

As more and more eunuchs and palace maids came out of the Forbidden City, took the filial piety clothes and put them on their bodies, and then knelt beside Chongzhen's coffin and wailed, they still had to guard Chongzhen's spirit tonight.

Although there is calm in Beijing on the surface, the Far Eastern Army has just entered the city, so the common people in Beijing are closed to their houses, for fear that the Far Eastern Army will come to harass them. Tens of thousands of fierce officers and soldiers entered Beijing, and if military discipline was corrupted, they would inevitably be severely harmed.

People born at the feet of the Son of Heaven and at the root of the imperial city, even if the people at the bottom live poorly, they still have an innate sense of superiority, and their mentality certainly cannot be compared with the displaced people in the northwest who are struggling on the death line.

And there are not only high-ranking officials and nobles in the city of Beijing, but also countless well-off and wealthy households, even if they have not been deeply favored by the emperor for generations, but in the city of Beijing, which is blessed with unique economic conditions, watching the Ming Dynasty that has lasted for more than two hundred years collapse, of course, their hearts will be filled with a sadness of the rabbit and the fox.

The more valuable a person is, the more afraid he is of social unrest. Even if those gentry are precarious, not to mention those Ming princes and nobles, they are the darlings of the Ming Dynasty, and they can be said to be favored by the emperor, what they are most afraid of is that the Far East Army will liquidate them.

Moreover, when Chongzhen mobilized the people of the whole city to defend the city, these nobles and dignitaries also made a lot of efforts, each family contributed money and food, and also sent their own guards, family members, and even family generals and relatives to the city.

At that time, they did not know that the Far Eastern Army had swept across the Central Plains, and they also thought that as soon as the soldiers and horses of King Qin arrived, the siege of Beijing would naturally be easily resolved as before.

Who would have thought that the leaders of the civilian officials and troops in the city would actually open the city to welcome the surrender and lead the Far Eastern army into the city. Although some took advantage of the chaos to flee home, many more were captured by the Far Eastern Army, many of whom were relatives and children of the nobles and princes in the city.

Therefore, since the Far Eastern Army entered the city, the dignitaries and nobles of the family have been in fear. I am afraid that one day the Far Eastern Army will come to the door and exterminate them.

Fortunately, after the Far Eastern Army entered the city, although the momentum of the troops was murderous, the military discipline was very strict. Tens of thousands of troops were attacking, but there was not a single disturbance incident.

Even if he treated the Ming Dynasty's surrendered army, he did not kill them all, as long as he threw down his weapons and surrendered, he would be driven out of the city and taken care of them in a unified manner, and he had not heard of any killing of prisoners.

Moreover, Li Ming also met with many officials of the Ming Dynasty on the same day, hoping that they would assist the political and work cadres of the Far Eastern Army, vigorously publicize the policies of the Far Eastern Army, and stabilize the situation in the capital.

This also made the people of the capital feel a little relieved, but no one in the city dared to go to the streets, and all kinds of shops and stalls did not dare to open. The entire capital was silent, as if it were a dead city.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Ming, Song Tao and others got up early and hurriedly arranged various tasks in Beijing. They also inspected various parts of Beijing and expressed their condolences to the commanders and fighters of the Far Eastern Army who were sticking to their posts.

They were busy until noon before returning to the Forbidden City, and after a simple bite of food, they came to the Chongzhen Spiritual Hall outside the Donghua Gate.

At this time, many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace came to guard Chongzhen's spirit, and they knelt beside Chongzhen's coffin in a regular manner, surrounded by Far Eastern officers and soldiers to maintain order, and the situation at the scene was quite stable.

At this time, the people below came to report, and the peripheral guard troops found a group of Ming officials wearing filial piety robes walking in the direction of the Forbidden City. The alert force immediately reported to the higher authorities whether it was intercepted or not.

Li Ming smiled when he heard it and said, "Who said that the officials of the Ming Dynasty are all people who tend to be inflammatory...... Ha ha...... The ministers who came to mourn Emperor Chongzhen today are definitely born with iron bones. ”

Song Tao turned over and got on the horse, smiled at everyone and said, "I'll take a look, hehe...... Let's see how much energy is left in Daming. (To be continued.) )
