Forbidden City, outside the city gates.

Thousands of Manchu relics gathered here, all sitting on the ground, their expressions serious and sad.

Among these people, some were Manchus and some were Han, but without exception they all supported the Manchu Qing and opposed Li Zhen's revision of the national name. In the past, when the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty, countless Han people would rather resist to the death than accept the rule of the Manchus. Hundreds of years later, there are already some Han people who completely regard themselves as Qing people and resolutely disagree with Li Zhen's approach.

In front of the crowd, there were more than ten old people in their sixtieth year.

These people are the leading Manchurians.

It was these people who raised so many Manchu relics and old people. Around these Manchu relics, there are countless people pointing fingers, with disdain, indifference, and interest in watching the play.

"Step! Trample! Trample!!! ”

The sound of neat footsteps came from outside.

"Officers and soldiers are here!"

There was a shout, and the people who were watching immediately scattered as birds and beasts, and all of them scattered.

Soon, a neat detachment of soldiers came running.

This group of soldiers was led by Liu Jintang. All the soldiers were dressed in neat military uniforms, carrying guns, with serious expressions, and the whole army exuded a murderous atmosphere, which made the people retreat one after another, not daring to face Liu Jintang's soldiers. After Liu Jintang led the army to arrive, he quickly dispersed the people, and then asked the soldiers to isolate the petitioning Manchu relics and wait for Li Zhen to arrive.

After the Manchu remnants who petitioned outside the gates of the Forbidden City looked at the army, many of them changed their faces.

After facing the soldiers, they began to beat drums in their hearts.

"What are you afraid of, it's just some soldiers. Even if Li Zhen came in person, there was nothing to be afraid of. The man who sat at the front and the leader stared at the soldier with disdain, and said with great righteousness.

With someone taking the lead, the surrounding Manchu remnants spoke one after another.

Under the general trend, even if some people beat the drum in their hearts, they don't show it, and they hide their thoughts in their hearts. Liu Jintang stood outside, with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept over all the Manchu relics present, and muttered to himself: "When they first entered Beijing, why didn't these people come out? If all of them came out, Lao Tzu ordered them all to go down and kill them all, and there would be no today's incident. ”

Liu Jintang's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he was eager to give the order to shoot. However, Liu Jintang still held his mind and ordered the soldiers to collect the situation here so that he could report back to Li Zhen.

"Brigade commander, the prince is here!"

It didn't take long, and the guard next to Liu Jintang reminded.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Li Zhen rode over.

Liu Jintang immediately greeted him, and after Li Zhen dismounted, Liu Jintang pointed to the Manchu relics who were sitting dry, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, these people are all old bones, and it is not easy to move!" In my opinion, simply order an attack. ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Don't use force, we have time." ”

The soldiers found a few stools to come over, and after Li Zhen and Liu Jintang sat down, Li Zhen asked, "How long have these Manchu relics been here, and have they said anything?" ”

Liu Jintang replied: "I didn't say anything, they gathered for three hours, waiting for you to come." ”

Li Zhen said: "Very good, they didn't use force, and we didn't use force, so treat each other with courtesy first." If you ask people to shout, just say that they will disperse immediately, and I will not blame the past, and I will not pursue this incident. ”

Liu Jintang then recommended himself: "Lord Wang, I'll go in person!" ”

After that, Liu Jintang swaggered in front of a group of Manchu widows, and shouted: "All the old guys, you have heard it clearly, the prince said that you are a first offender, and you may have been instigated, and considering that you are a handful of old people, this time the incident is not to blame." Disperse at once, and this is the end of the matter! ”

"Fart, nonsense! The old man was born a Manchu person, and died a Manchu ghost. If Li Zhen doesn't take back the order, the old man would rather die than leave, go tell Li Zhen and let him take back the order. ”

"This dog official who aids in abuse, you help Li Zhen, you can't die well!"

"Dog officer, go and tell Li Zhen to take back his order, and then enter the palace with the Son of Heaven, hand over the military power, and be a virtuous minister who assists the emperor. Otherwise, Li Zhen will be stinking for 10,000 years. Even if Li Zhen gained power temporarily, it was only temporary. If Li Zhen is obsessed, it must be Li Zhen who is killed. Countless benevolent and righteous people in the world will never give up and will definitely kill Li Zhen. ”

One by one, the Manchu widows stood up excitedly and made accusations.

This situation angered Liu Jintang.

Liu Jintang immediately wanted to pull out his gun and shoot, but when he thought that Li Zhen had ordered not to shoot, he suppressed his anger, returned to Li Zhen's side, and said angrily: "Lord Wang, you also heard the words of the Manchu widow just now, these people are full of feces, they should be killed!" Damn it! In my opinion, all of them should be taken away, or they should be killed on the spot, so that no one will come out and make trouble. ”

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "No, just surround it like this, don't worry!" ”

Liu Jintang didn't understand Li Zhen's thoughts, so he could only wait.

Around six o'clock, the sun began to set in the west.

At this time, Li Zhen asked the soldiers to prepare fragrant meat and soup, all of which were placed outside the city. As Li Zhen gave the order, the soldiers present all began to eat, and they all gobbled up. The smell of rice spread, causing the Manchu relics who were sitting on the ground to move their tongues and stomachs. But those who did not take the lead all sat down.

The corners of Li Zhen's mouth turned up and he smiled.

Li Zhen looked at Liu Jintang and ordered: "Raise the stove and the food is hot." I just want to take a look, how much is the value of these old guys' loyalty to the Manchus? See if their faithfulness is worth a meal. ”

Liu Jintang smiled and said: "Lord Wang is wise, I will prepare immediately!" ”

Immediately, Liu Jintang immediately asked the soldiers to prepare the meal, and put all the delicious and delicious meals on the table, and with the gentle breeze blowing, a smell of rice suddenly spread out, and the tickets spread in the surrounding air. Many Manchu widows smelled the smell, shrugged their noses, swallowed saliva, and covered their stomachs, obviously hungry.

However, at night, no one moved. Because it was summer, the night was cool, not cold, and after late at night, the Manchu relics had no effect.

Li Zhen leaned back in his chair, squinting and napping.

Liu Jintang sat next to Li Zhen and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, it's already late at night, you go back to rest first." When there is any movement here, I will send someone to inform you immediately. ”

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "No, I can stand it." ”

After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "I really want to watch the changes in these people and see if their loyalty is worth a few catties and taels, and whether it can be compared to a meal." Li Zhen stretched his waist, waved his hand, and said, "Bring me a bowl of rice, I'm hungry late at night." Let people prepare more meals, and then prepare a meal for the brothers, and cheer up the night when they are full. ”

"Great!"

Liu Jintang playfully glanced at the Manchu relics sitting outside the gate of the Forbidden City, and smiled.

This situation is interesting!
