Chapter 434: Translocation

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen only had to guard his own Beijing City and the Forbidden City, and he also heard about the battle between Houjin and North Korea, so now Houjin has no action against the border land at all. And from time to time, leaflets and some notices appeared around the city of Beijing, saying that only the Chu palace in Hubei had been captured, and the rest of the palaces had surrendered to the new monarch, and the new country was called the 'United States of the People's Republic of China', and the monarch called himself 'Emperor Yang'. Now the news in the capital is all rumors about how the new emperor loves the people and how he is cruel to the enemy, but there is no news that the emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty persuaded him to surrender.

When he went to the court on this day, Emperor Chongzhen found that there were only a few people in the court, and he didn't bother to ask what was going on, he knew that some ministers were already preparing to flee the capital. It's just that he didn't expect that there would be so much, Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, and suddenly felt a relaxed mood, he thought that there would never be anything for him to worry about and worry about. How good is this, I received this mess from the very beginning, first brought down the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and then fought with the ministers in the court, which really made me too exhausted. Now there is no border emergency in the court, and there is no news of the peasant rebel army, and the ears are really much clearer.

"Report!"

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian was about to say that his ears were finally clean, and suddenly someone from outside reported it.

"Biography!"

...............

"Back to the emperor, this is a letter of state, signed by the new monarch, and there are eleven princes signed by themselves." The eunuch beside Chongzhen replied.

"Oh!? Read! ”

"Yes!" The eunuch read the letter aloud, and of course the ministers above the court could hear it clearly. What everyone didn't expect was that this letter was indeed a letter written by the new monarch, that is, Wan Qianyang, to Emperor Chongzhen, and the letter mainly said one thing, that is, let Chongzhen choose by himself, either surrender directly, or only keep the forbidden army, and leave the scope of Beijing to him, and he will be the emperor for as long as he wants, and promise not to take his life. It's very simple, and nothing else is said.

This news made the ministers look at each other, feeling a little inexplicable, because Wan Qiyang only said one reason, that is, he didn't want to see any more senseless casualties, since you can't do it, you will abdicate and make way for Xian. And Chongzhen also saw that the other party didn't take him seriously at all, that is to say, he, Zhu Youjian, was not worthy of being the opponent of the new monarch at all. What's the use of him being the emperor again, even if he guards a Beijing city, just hearing that Beijing is about to become an empty city now. Of course, there are still loyal royalists following him, but he himself knows that such an emperor exists in name only, looking at this prince who has already surrendered, Chongzhen also believes that he can enjoy the second half of his life as a prince at most.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you all have an idea for me!" Emperor Chongzhen actually had a decision in his heart, but he still needed to go down a step, so he proposed to ask the minister to give a suggestion.

But at this time, the remaining ministers are basically incompetent, and no one took the initiative to answer after a long time, Chongzhen looked at the courtiers below, and found that the most outspoken minister of Shangshu had not escaped, and at this time he also wanted to hear the words of this loyal minister. So he named and designated the minister of Shangshu to speak!

"Back to the emperor's words, the old minister thinks that this letter of seal is the direct meaning of the new king, because according to the news, the army of the new country has extremely powerful killing weapons, and why have they not advanced to the capital? There is also news that the king of the new country even surrendered the peasant rebel army, and did not directly clash with it, but helped the king of Joseon to attack the large army of Houjin, and heard that only a few thousand people annihilated tens of thousands of horses of the other side, and the new army was not injured. What kind of combat capability is this, no one can resist it! Since it is a letter of state, the emperor can not return this issue and put forward conditions or requirements to the other party. Lao Chen remembered that a few years ago, there was a sudden mutiny in Chengdu Mansion, and only one of the people sent out by Jinyi Wei came back, which should be related to the governor of Sichuan at that time, Cheng Daren, who is now the prime minister of the new country, and it is said that he is still the father of the country. ”

Chongzhen heard that the minister of Shangshu still knew a lot, at least he didn't know the information that the minister of Shangshu said later, Chongzhen asked again: "Then what conditions and requirements are appropriate according to Aiqing's opinion?" ”

Minister Shangshu naturally knew that since he said his own suggestion, he would definitely let himself say it to the end.

"If you go back to the emperor, the old minister thinks that although there are more than a dozen princes on the top, he still asks for stability, and he wants the new monarch to guarantee the emperor's treatment in writing, and he must have a higher treatment than other princes, even if he can't do it, he can't be worse than them." Minister Shangshu's words are also what Chongzhen is worried about.

"That's good! Aiqing drafted a decree for me, and I had to add a certain condition, that is, to protect the lives of all the ministers in the court and your family members, and it was best to reserve the treatment. Chongzhen has already decided to surrender Wan Qiyang, and Li Zicheng naturally gathered his troops early in the morning, and the other leaders who happened to hear the wind also ran over, Li Zicheng naturally explained his decision, and finally said goodbye to the other party!

"Leaders, let's not talk to each other, so let's just do it ourselves!"

Of course, the other leaders had no choice, they couldn't beat Li Zicheng, and even if their side fought, they wouldn't be able to please it, not to mention that it would not be good for them to lose both, so they could only watch Li Zicheng lead the team to the direction of Shandong Fucheng.

..................................

Although Wan Qiyang was in Chengdu, the news from Beijing reached him immediately, and the letter of state issued by Emperor Chongzhen appeared in Wan Qianyang's hands word for word, which also indicated that the Ming Dynasty, which had ruled China for more than 200 years, was completely over. Not long after, news came from Shandong, and Li Zicheng, one of the leaders of the peasant rebel army, led about 20,000 people to surrender to the Shandong Guards, how to deal with this matter.

Wan Qianyang's order was very simple, let Li Zicheng go to Chengdu Mansion along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and the peasant rebels he brought were willing to go home for the fare, which was uniformly distributed, and those who volunteered to be soldiers said the conditions and remuneration for our soldiers to let them choose, and finally how many people were left who were willing to be soldiers were screened again, and those who were qualified were retained.

And the Chongzhen Emperor Wan Qiyang in Beijing City also had a handling opinion for a long time, and directly put forward the handling opinion, and someone registered the record below, and finally formed a national letter and sent it to Beijing City urgently. Wan Qiyang directly followed the handling of the King of Shu and ordered him to move out of the Forbidden City and live in the Prince's Mansion, naturally Wan Qiyang knew how many silver taels Zhu Youjian's treasury still had, and ordered him to hand over half of it. Everything is a gentleman's agreement, let him control his own destiny, otherwise it will be his original destiny!
