After King Wu of Zhou became the co-lord of the world, the Fengxia room was in Qi, and the Shang room was in the Song Dynasty, enjoying the treatment of state guests and continuing the sacrifices of the previous dynasty.

After reading the "Edict of the First Year of Yongchang" drafted by Zhang Lanran for him, Li Zicheng only liked the four words "Ruqi is like Song", as if these four words completely dispelled the fear of sitting on the dragon chair in his heart, and made him believe that he was a true dragon son like a martial king.

"If Emperor Zhu is willing to abdicate the throne, I will never break my word." Li Zicheng personally stood at the foot of Beijing to express his sincerity. He knew that a large number of nobles had escaped from the city, and many of them were eunuchs. He also knew that there was a Ming army in the southeast to receive these people, and the number was not large.

After asking Tang Tong, Du Xun and other generals, Li Zicheng was able to guess that this Ming army was the guard battalion of the East Palace, because there was no longer a formed army in the entire Ming Dynasty that would appear in Beijing.

Wu Sangui was still on the way, but Liu Zeqing had already fled south.

Zhu Cihong stood at the head of the city, looked at Li Zicheng below, and also responded loudly: "If you are willing to return to the northwest, I can also persuade my father to seal you with Qin Jinhu, and you will be the king forever." ”

Li Zicheng said: "If you were willing to agree last year, why did I raise troops? If this is the case today, how dare I disobey the mandate of heaven? So, how do you say that...... God gave it, if you don't take it, you have to take it! ”

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "It's hard to say whether God gave it or not." This dragon chair is not so easy to sit on. ”

"I only know how to treat the people with kindness, and the people will naturally support me." Li Zicheng said: "I have been stationed for three days, and I will personally tell you that if Emperor Zhu still does not know the current affairs, my army will attack the city!" ”

"How about taking a step back?" Zhu Cihong said: "The royal family retreated to Nanjing, and the two families divided the river and ruled. ”

Li Zicheng was quite tempted by this proposal, but Niu Jinxing reminded in a low voice on the side: "Your Majesty." Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? Chop the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again! ”

Niu Jinxing sincerely hopes to attack the city as soon as possible, but the city of Beijing is high and thick, and there are columns of cannons on it, how can it be so easy to attack? One Kaifeng consumed Li Zicheng to half-crippled, let alone Beijing? It seems that the whole battle will be completed. It's also good to have fewer casualties. As long as Beijing is won, will there be any obstacles for the army to move south?

The generals who have been made marquis and feudal uncles are also unwilling to attack the city, and Ma Chongxi's experience is still there, and no one wants to see the battle die before the completion of the battle. And they first killed officials and rebelled, it was because they couldn't survive, and now they all have children and children, and if they die in battle, they will have nothing.

So even if he knew that someone had escaped, Li Zicheng did not order the pursuit. He believes that as long as he wins Beijing. After getting the edict of Emperor Chongzhen's abdication, Jiangnan is bound to be able to pass it on.

Zhu Cihong was ready to escape all the time, and important people and national treasures had been sent to Tianjin. Every extra hour was now earned, which not only meant that more wealth was shipped out of Beijing, but also that the engineer battalion led by Chen De had more time to build field fortifications.

……

"Factory man, why did you come here in person?" Wang Zhixin greeted Wang Chengen in the middle hall, although his words were warm, his expression was very cold. Obviously, there is something in my heart that I can't let go.

Wang Chengen wore civilian clothes, except that he had no beard. It's no different from a rich squire. He sat down on his own and said, "Your Highness heard that my father-in-law is not feeling well, let our family ask, do you want to find a doctor in green shirts?" ”

Wang Zhixin waved his hand and shook his head.

The Tsing Yi doctor is like a living bodhisattva in the army, and his reputation among the people is also excellent. However, among the elites of the Beijing Division, the Qingyi doctor is synonymous with being full of beheadings. No one has forgotten the pandemic last year. As long as the people who were sprinkled with lime were surrounded by the green shirt doctors, none of them could come out alive.

Although it is an indisputable fact that the epidemic has been contained, the memory of horror will continue for many years.

"This is my heart disease, and it can't be cured by a Tsing Yi doctor." Wang Xinxin covered his heart, as if it was really painful.

Wang Chengen smiled: "It's nothing more than for some yellow and white things." Father-in-law. It's not that we say, these things are not brought in life and are not brought in death, so why be persistent? ”

"Oops!" Wang Zhixin seemed to be in more pain, and his whole fat face shrank into a ball: "I said Wang Gonggong, we are all people with broken roots, except for yellow and white things, what else can we think about." ”

Wang Chengen said with a smile: "The daughter is scattered and comes back, as long as you follow the emperor, isn't it time to get back together?" ”

"You donated them all?" The king's heart was surprised.

Wang Chengen nodded and said seriously: "I donated them all." That day, after Liu's husband mentioned it, our family saw through it. ”

"Bixia didn't ask you, where did all this silver come from?" The king's heart did not believe. He knew that he should be the richest man in the inner court, but a big eunuch like Wang Chengen would never be missing. People's hearts are flesh and blood, they followed Chongzhen when they were in the palace, and after ten or twenty years, watching the young emperor boil his head white before he was thirty, don't you feel a trace of guilt?

However, Chongzhen persuaded him several times, but Wang Zhixin only dared to donate 20,000 taels, precisely because he understood a fundamental truth: everything he had was given by the emperor, and if he lost the emperor's favor, he would have nothing. And taking out a large sum of silver of unknown origin is completely to provoke the suspicion of the emperor. Give the silver, and you will be finished; If you don't give silver, Da Ming doesn't necessarily really lack these tens of thousands of taels? The two evils are naturally better than silver.

"Now it's Chitose-sama's business." Wang Chengen said a little lonely: "But Chitose is different from Banzai, but he is open-minded and tolerant." Instead of blaming me, he gave me a piece of paperwork. ”

"What paperwork?" Wang Zhixin asked.

"I knew that my father-in-law wanted to ask, so I brought it specially." Wang Chengen took out a bag from his sleeve, tore open the bag, and took out a piece of yellow silk paper from it, which was used to write holy decrees in the palace at a glance.

Wang Zhixin took this holy decree that was not a holy decree, unfolded it and read it, and asked in surprise: "Your Highness will give you back the money!" ”

Wang Chengen nodded.

Wang Zhixin didn't believe it and read it again. But it is clearly written: At the end of ten years, you can receive the principal of 100,000 taels of silver and the interest of 2,000 taels with this certificate.

If 100,000 taels of silver are stored in any money bank or trading bank, you can have an interest of 2,000 taels a year. But this matter cannot be considered from the point of view of silver, to think that this is a certificate given by the crown prince in the name of the emperor, although the profit is only one-tenth of the people's money, but ten years later, the 100,000 taels of silver will be clean money.

"I sold all the belongings of the family and exchanged it for silver and handed it over to Chitose Ye." Wang Chengen took back the receipt of 100,000 taels and carefully collected it.

"You're not afraid ......"

"Afraid? Hehe. Wang Chengen smiled: "Even if I spend 100,000 taels to buy those words above, I am willing." ”

Only then did Wang Zhixin remember that there were two lines in front of this certificate, which praised Wang Chengen for his loyalty to the country and his courage to go to the country. Not to mention anything else, this evaluation alone is destined to Wang Chengen to appear in the history books with the image of loyalty.

"Brother," Wang Chengen leaned forward, his voice full of demagoguery, "The thief said it well, he will be exempted from taxation for three years, and he will pay five taels of silver according to his hair...... I have to ask, where did he get all that money and food? Didn't you snatch it from people like you and me? If you stay, you will definitely change your surname! ”

The heart of the king was bleeding: where is the matter of silver? And what about this property? What about this mansion? What about the fields outside the city......

"We can't enter the imperial examination, and we can't raise a sword to go into battle, what else is there besides the emperor's favor?" Wang Chengen said slowly: "Can this thing Li thief give you?" Can he trust us? Even if he wants to use eunuchs, it will definitely not be us old men. Most of the zuihou fell as a result of the Nanhaizi net army. ”

"Let me think about ......"

"It's too late to think about it, I'm afraid Your Highness won't be able to hold back the thief." Wang Chengen said. He had seen a cart carrying silver from the treasury, which could only be pulled by four mules. Wang Zhixin has always been known as the richest man, and it is a matter of course to have a few hundred thousand taels. If this is to be carried away, it will be several days.

Wang Zhixin endured the heartache, looked around at his mansion, and finally made up his mind: "Donate!" I donate them all! (To be continued......)
