Chen Mingxia snorted lightly, don't look over, it's not that he doesn't know that his surrender and liquidation are a stain on his body.

But Chen Mingxia is reluctant to admit these now, or rather reluctant to mention them, and even he subconsciously avoids this topic.

Therefore, he took the initiative to jump out of the topic of being a thief from the beginning, and only regarded himself as a Qingliu civil official who competed with Li Banghua, Li Mingrui and other foreign civil officials.

Chen Mingxia is now also regarded as an "old minister of the Three Dynasties", after all, he has also experienced the Ming, Shun, and Qing dynasties, but he still only limits his vision to the internal political struggle between the Qingliu civil officials and the powerful ministers.

Because, in his Chen Mingxia's view, whether it is the Dashun Emperor, the Qing Emperor or the Ming Emperor, the first thing they care about is the longevity of their own imperial rule.

And the biggest reliance of these Qingliu civil officials is that they can use the emperor's demand for this to compete with the powerful ministers and nobles who influence the imperial power.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty, who had only lost half of the northern ruling area for less than six years, gave him such political experience in the past two hundred years of rule, and the Zhu Zili that he had studied all his life did not teach him any people's consciousness.

Therefore, when Li Mingrui said that he was a thief, he still ignored Li Mingrui, directly chose to avoid this topic, and still responded to Li Mingrui with an arrogant attitude, in order to show how lonely and fearless he was of power.

Li Mingrui is also a civil official, so he can naturally see what the purpose of his Chen Mingxia's behavior is, he only feels funny now, and he doesn't say much, he just waved his hand: "By order, detain Chen Mingxia, a thief who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, take it!" ”

So, two soldiers of the Guards under Li Mingrui came over, lifted Chen Mingxia from the ground without saying a word, handcuffed Chen Mingxia, and dragged him directly outside the confinement.

Chen Mingxia was angry on the spot!

"Li Mingrui! Don't think that you can hide your identity and humiliate Qingliu Wenchen after you have made great achievements, you must have slandered and framed me in front of Your Majesty, otherwise Your Majesty would not have issued an order to take me, I want to see Your Majesty! I want to see Your Majesty! ”

Chen Mingxia roared, hysterically.

Chen Mingxia naturally began to vaguely feel that it was very likely that His Majesty was really not so wise as he imagined that it should not be the time to punish any thieves and adopt checks and balances for the future imperial power, but to really punish himself.

But he didn't want to think like this, he still held on to the last glimmer of hope, and he even instinctively felt that even if it was His Majesty's will to detain him, it was also framed by Li Mingrui and others.

Therefore, Chen Mingxia shouted to see His Majesty, he wanted to fight for the final comeback, and he wanted to persuade His Majesty.

Li Mingrui didn't care so much, he only handed over Chen Mingxia to Yin Zhang Mengxi of Shuntian Mansion, and at the same time handed over the arrested Qing official documents to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen also learned from Li Mingrui that Chen Mingxia wanted to see him, and also learned from Jinyiwei that Chen Mingxia and other civil officials who had descended to the Qing Dynasty had performed in the capital in the past day or two, and he was also very surprised.

As a person of later generations, Zhu Youzhen really can't understand where a civil official who has been a thief for six years has the courage to fight with the victor who has just recovered the northern capital.

"When Li Zicheng entered Beijing City, when Shunzhi entered Beijing City, why didn't he have such fearless courage, I heard that there are still many ministers who did not follow us to move south to hang themselves, or died unyieldingly, where was his courage at that time?"

Zhu Youzhen asked Li Mingrui.

"Weichen doesn't know, Your Majesty may be able to meet him and ask him personally", Li Mingrui replied.

"Okay, call him to see me", Zhu Youzhen is indeed more curious about Chen Mingxia now, because Chen Mingxia's performance completely subverted his imagination.

He can understand that these civilian officials who have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty can be shameless enough to surrender to the Ming Dynasty again, but he can't understand that these civilian officials who have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty still have their own sense of superiority that is more worthy of respect than the officers and soldiers of the Guards.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen chose to meet this Chen Mingxia.

Chen Mingxia became excited all of a sudden after knowing that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was going to summon him, he felt that he had made the right bet, His Majesty still paid attention to himself, and even became interested in himself, and he figured out the emperor's mind again.

Therefore, Chen Mingxia's awareness of being a big thief was even more diluted, and he was even more arrogant in front of Li Mingrui and the officers and soldiers of the Guards, as if he had substituted himself into a celebrity around His Majesty, and even vowed to find an opportunity to take revenge on Li Mingrui.

After Chen Mingxia entered the Qianqing Palace, as soon as he saw Zhu Youzhen, he bowed to Zhu Youzhen very decently, and looked very generous and confident: "Weichen Chen Mingxia has seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live my emperor!" ”

"Who made you call yourself a micro-minister! Who gives you the power! Are you now an official of my Ming Dynasty, Li Banghua, you are now in charge of the Beijing Ministry of Officials, and do you have an official named Chen Mingxia in the Ming Dynasty? ”

Zhu Youzhen suddenly snorted coldly, not giving Chen Mingxia a chance to continue talking, and also questioned Li Banghua.

Chen Mingxia was quite embarrassed, and he was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't understand why His Majesty suddenly became mad because of this, and he saw that the saint didn't call himself a micro-minister, could he call himself a slave, that was the rule of the Qing Dynasty, isn't it the Ming Dynasty now?

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no official named Chen Mingxia in the military and political systems of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty."

"Since you don't, where did you Chen Mingxia have the courage to call yourself a micro-minister, just by virtue of this, I can chop off your head!"

Zhu Youzhen roared angrily.

Chen Mingxia was even more confused, he didn't expect His Majesty Emperor Chongzhen to first question how he could call himself a "Weichen", and then threaten to cut off his head, which made him a little nervous at this time, but he immediately felt that this was His Majesty testing himself.

Therefore, Chen Mingxia immediately expressed his loyalty to Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty! When Weichen was in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, he was personally appointed by His Majesty as the official of the Sixth Branch, so he could naturally call himself a minister. ”

After Chen Mingxia finished speaking, he waited for Zhu Youzhen to prepare to ask him about how to balance the arrogant soldiers, and he was ready to have a long discussion with the emperor for a day, so as to gain the trust and attention of Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen.

However, Zhu Youzhen personally walked in front of Chen Mingxia at this time: "Chen Mingxia, I ask you a question, are you a thief?" ”

"Your Majesty. Weichen just wants to follow His Majesty in this life! ”

Chen Mingxia changed the topic again.

But Zhu Youzhen still only looked at her and asked him: "Chen Mingxia, I will ask you again, are you a thief?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is no longer my Ming Dynasty's top priority now, now the Ming Dynasty is in charge, and traitors are rampant", Chen Mingxia still just wanted to avoid the topic of being a thief, but Zhu Youzhen interrupted him and slapped him: "Answer my question head-on, are you a thief?" Answer me! ”
