Li Zicheng felt pity and sympathy, looked at Gao Guiying, who was about to leave, suddenly called out to the other party, and said solemnly: "Guiying, after treating the injuries of Princess Changping, you are in charge of the affairs of the Forbidden City, count how many palace maids and concubines still survive, ask for their opinions, and if there are people who are willing to leave the palace, give some silver as a coil to go home, and send the matter away." ”

"Well, okay, husband, I'll take care of this right away."

Gao Guiying agreed, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Li Zicheng.

"Also, Gui Ying, confirm the identities of these dead palace maids and concubines, notify their families, and bring them back for burial. And, of course, those eunuchs who committed suicide. If no one claims it, let people bury it, and don't let them run into the wilderness. ”

The words not only moved Gao Guiying, but also conquered all the little eunuchs and palace maids, in all dynasties, the most worthless thing is human life, especially the lowest people, palace maids and eunuchs, don't say that they are still alive, even if they are dead, how can they confirm their identities, they are all buried at will and discarded.

Who doesn't have a thought of returning to their roots? Who wouldn't want to be buried in the ground?

Now, Li Zicheng's various arrangements are more Mingjun than Mingjun, not only attaching importance to those suicide officials of the previous dynasty, but even these little people cannot be ignored, and they have risen to the same level of attention and attach importance to every life.

Soon after, Li Zicheng returned to the Fengtian Temple, sitting on the dragon chair, and there were many generals and ministers standing below, Gu Junen was the first to report: "King Qi, there are not many officials of the previous dynasty who committed suicide in the capital, and there are only dozens of people, and almost every official is the whole family to die together, so it seems that there are many people who are martyred for the previous dynasty, and it is very simple to deal with." The only trouble is that many squires and students committed suicide with their families and threw themselves into the river to die, and it was necessary to organize a lot of people to salvage the corpses. Otherwise, it will affect the drinking water in the city. ”

At this time, Gao Guiying, who was sitting on Li Zicheng's side, also spoke: "Husband, there are many concubines and palace maids in the palace who drowned in wells, and it is also necessary to organize people to salvage the bodies in the wells, and screen each well one by one. Otherwise, if a corpse is left in any well, it will contaminate the drinking water of the entire Forbidden City, and even the entire Imperial City. ”

Immediately afterward, others began to report.

"King Chuang, those fires in the city have been extinguished, and they have not affected the people nearby."

"Boss, all the battlefields have been cleaned, all the corpses have been buried, or burned on the spot, and all the soldiers left over from the previous dynasty are being collected and mixed into the Li family's army."

"King Chuang, our people have taken control of all the yamen and treasury, and sealed all the things inside, just waiting for the various base areas to send people to inspect and collect and sort out all the information."

......

After everyone finished speaking, Li Zicheng thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "At this time, the capital is in ruins, but fortunately it has not been destroyed, and the most important thing now is to restore order in the city as soon as possible, and the people can live normally as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm... From now on, 100,000 people will be pumped out and all the wells will be checked from house to house to ensure that there will be no problems with drinking water in the city. ”

Everyone nodded thoughtfully, people can support a few days without eating, if there is no water, they can't live a day.

At this time, as if thinking of something, Li Zicheng set his eyes on Gao Yigong's body, and explained: "Yigong, you go and arrange it, divide some people, and the two rows of troops are a team, patrolling the streets and alleys of the city, day and night, maintaining order in the capital, once you find someone who disturbs the people, you can directly kill it." In addition, anyone who causes trouble under the pretext of investigating the well can also be directly killed once confirmed. ”

Troubled times need to be re-enacted, and everyone still understands this truth.

Liu Zongmin stood up and asked, "King Chuang, what to do with those hundred officials left over from the previous dynasty?" And the nobles of the previous dynasty? ”

Fighting local tyrants, dividing the land, confiscating the property of the powerful and fighting, and openly criticizing and fighting have always been the theme song of Li Jiajun, a strong stroke, and the key to winning the hearts of the people.

At this moment, all eyes are focused on Li Zicheng, and now, Li Jiajun is almost sitting firmly on the river, will King Chuang still implement the policy he adhered to in the past?

At the same time, Li Zicheng's thoughts flew and he thought a lot, the reason why Li Zicheng in history failed and ended up dead was not only because of internal strife, but also because after entering Beijing, he began to lose the support of the people and greedy for pleasure.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Zicheng's expression was solemn, his face was solemn, he looked around at everyone, and said almost word by word: "Of course it's the same!" ”

Without waiting for Liu Zongmin to exclaim happily, Li Zicheng added: "However, before implementing our policy, we must investigate clearly, not all officials and powerful people are evil. For those who are of better character, and who do not have a lot of life, they only need to confiscate all their possessions. ”

"Hey, hey... King Chuang, the last general understands this! Liu Zongmin laughed loudly, his mouth was very big, and he was very excited, and he was about to implement Li Jiajun's policy, but he was stopped by Li Zicheng.

"Slow, General Liu, wait a minute, it's not the time to fully implement our policy, divide the land first, let the people have the land first, and then talk about it, and then fight the local tyrants after the situation in Beizhili is stable."

Hearing this, Liu Zongmin and some generals could not hide the look of disappointment on their faces, and before they could say anything, Li Zicheng's voice sounded again: "However, although those powerful people will not be touched yet, they must be closely monitored, especially some key personnel, and they are not allowed to leave the capital, let alone leave with their belongings." If found, it will be directly erased. ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zongmin and the others looked much better, and they were no longer so disappointed.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zicheng's eyes fell on Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, and said earnestly: "Three military divisions, before Li Changmao arrives in Beijing, many affairs in the city will be handed over to you for the time being. ”

"Yes, King Chuang."

The three of them agreed in unison, but their reactions were different, Gu Junen and Song Xiance's expressions were as usual, not happy or sad, Niu Jinxing's excited expression had some disappointment, especially when he heard the word "for the time being", the disappointment became more and more obvious.

For Premier Li Changmao's capital affairs, there is a faint meaning of the first minister, well-deserved, no one can say anything, in terms of qualifications, people are one of the first to join the Li family's army; In terms of ability, it is not inferior to everyone present.

Over the years, the size of each base area has coordinated affairs, which one has not had Li Changmao's figure? He has long had the qualifications and ability to serve as the chief minister!

The most important thing is that among those present, even if Li Zicheng, the leader of Li Jiajun, no one is more familiar with those policies than Li Changmao, as well as the rules and regulations implemented in various base areas, how to operate? How are people selected?

In the future, the imperial court will undergo subversive reforms in the system, and no longer follow the previous dynasty, but use each base area as a template to establish a new imperial court.

From the establishment of new institutions, to the selection of officials of various institutions, to the supervision of officials, and the annual audits, Li Changmao is extremely familiar.

Therefore, as the first generation of the head of the new imperial court, Li Changmao is the best choice, and he deserves it!
