Chapter II: Reactions of the Parties (Part II)

Since Emperor Chongzhen was exposed by Li Zicheng's "secret killing", the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty who stayed in Beijing began to make trouble. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

First of all, Ni Yuanlu, the secretary of the household department, issued an article on the 22nd to denounce the thieves for killing the king, and then Ni Yuanlu hanged himself in the house, and his whole family of 13 people also committed suicide by taking poison.

Immediately after the 23rd, Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital, Shi Bangzhao, the deputy imperial history, Ling Yiqu, the secretary of the Dali Temple, and Wang Jiayan, the right attendant of the military department, came to the Wenxin National Ancestral Hall (Wen Tianxiang Ancestral Hall) together, and comforted the iron-blooded Danxinwen Lord, and then hanged themselves to martyrdom.

After two days in a row, Gong Yonggu's whole family committed suicide, and hundreds of eunuchs committed suicide in the palace, and more than 1,000 people died in battle.

More than 300 palace maids committed suicide or died in battle.

More than 700 people, including gentlemen and students, committed suicide with their families.

The false news spread by Dolgon's people completely caused an indelible gap between the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing and Li Zicheng.

However, it is not only Dolgon who caused all this, Li Hongfei is also to blame, when he heard that Dongchang can use flying pigeons to pass the book, he was worried that the carrier pigeon was intercepted by Li Zicheng, so that Zhu Youzhen exposed his whereabouts, so let Wang Chengen come forward and strictly ordered the stalls everywhere not to transmit the news of Chongzhen to the Beijing Division.

In addition, in order to catch the fine work that spread rumors in the city, Liu Zongmin ordered the whole city to be blocked, so that the archers were on standby, and any birds that flew outside the city were shot.

In this way, not only was the news from the East Factory side cut off, but even Dolgon's side, in a short period of time, it was not clear whether the previous plan had any effect.

"How can this be true? That's right! Who is spreading rumors? Liu Zongmin, have you ever found out who spread rumors? Li Zicheng was so angry that he walked back and forth in the Jinluan Palace.

Originally, it was all right, and a group of ministers from the former dynasty didn't make much trouble, but it was only two days, and the entire Beijing division was rioting, and even the palace was uneasy, and those eunuchs and palace maids, one by one, were like crazy, and attacked the sergeants guarding the palace, and in just two days, because of these attacks, more than 100 soldiers were killed.

"Your Majesty, I have caught a lot of spies, including Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Manchu, but we still haven't found the mastermind behind the scenes, but from the information obtained from shooting carrier pigeons, we have not found any trace of Zhu Youzhen, maybe the other party really died in the chaos." Liu Zongmin speculated.

"What I care about is not whether he Zhu Youzhen dies or not, but I want to know who is secretly stumbling on me!" Li Zicheng said angrily.

Zhu Youzhen is not dead, it has nothing to do with him, and it is better for the other party to die, and the province will go to the south to organize the army to confront him.

Li Zicheng hoped that Zhu Youzhen would die, but he was unwilling to carry this black pot himself, after all, people are terrible, and it is still very troublesome for a group of scholars and doctors to make trouble.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng asked Liu Zongmin again: "Are you sure that these old ministers of the Ming Dynasty are all under control?" ”

"Except for those who escaped before the city was broken, the rest were controlled, and they were inevitably mixed into the fine work, we blocked all the exits of the Jingshi, and no one could get out of the city without tokens." Liu Zongmin swore an oath.

"Since these stinky scholars want to die, then fulfill them! Pass on my order, anyone who dares to mention Chongzhen will be beheaded all over the house! Li Zicheng ordered.

Before, I just wanted to ask these former ministers to collect military salaries, but now as long as there are those who do not cooperate, it is estimated that they will be raided and exterminated.

Not long after Li Zicheng gave the order, a guard walked in outside the door and said to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty! Wu Sangui sent a messenger, saying that he wanted to discuss the matter of returning to Shun. ”

"Let him wait in the imperial study, I'll finish the discussion here, and then I'll see him." Li Zicheng replied.

After all, he had only been on the throne for a long time, and he didn't even have a bit of royal majesty when he spoke.

Wu Sangui's messenger arrived, and the things that should be said were almost finished, Li Zicheng finally explained a few words casually, and ended the meeting.

The reason why Li Zicheng wanted to meet Wu Sangui's messenger alone was because he understood the importance of Wu Sangui, and bargaining would inevitably be indispensable at that time, and of course this kind of matter could not be discussed in front of a group of subordinates.

No one knows what Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui's messenger talked about, but when the messenger left, he was followed by seven or eight carriages.

The next day, the messenger hurried back to Fengrun, this time into Beijing, the messenger not only brought back, Li Zicheng gave 40,000 taels of silver, but also brought back a piece of news, which made Wu Sangui stunned!

The family property was confiscated by Li Zicheng!

My father was detained by Liu Zongmin!

The family is under house arrest!

What made Wu Sangui unbearable the most was ........... Chen Yuanyuan's whereabouts are unknown.

According to the information obtained by the messenger, Chen Yuanyuan was first "escorted" to the palace by Liu Zongmin's subordinates, but was robbed by a group of Ming troops halfway, and his whereabouts are unknown.

"Liu Zongmin! Are you stupid for me? No one in the Ming army robbed anyone, only a weak female stream! Wu Sangui roared angrily.

Wu Sangui, who found himself being played by someone as a fool, became more and more angry the more he thought about it.

He felt a surge of hot blood rush over his head, and he almost collapsed......

Wu Sangui picked up the bookcase and stood still, his face was flushed, all the way to the root of his hair, his sinuses opened wide due to excitement in his heart, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and a deep wrinkle stretched from his biting lip to his aggressive chin......

An uncontrollable anger flashed in his eyes. Such a gaze made the attendants around him panic and frightened.

Wu Sangui's teeth clicked.

Suddenly, he turned around and pulled out the slashing knife on the weapon rack, and suddenly let out a roar, like a wounded tiger: "Li Zicheng ........!" Liu Zongmin .......! ”

Immediately a knife was slashed, and the book case was split from it with a loud bang.

When the generals heard this, they gathered in an uproar...... Wu Sangui only felt that his throat and eyes were sweet, spit out a mouthful of blood, and staggered a few steps to the ground.

The generals gathered around, and the house was in a panic.

After a long time, Wu Sangui woke up slowly, he didn't drop a tear, but his eyes were full of red threads, and his eyes were full of blood, and he saw that the crowd was around him and waved to them.

"Go back to the tent, let me think for a moment, and after half an hour the big tent will be discussed."

"Then the general, you ......"

"I'm fine!"
