Before Zak and Akema's Han Green Banner could send troops to take people, the imperial court ministers living in the inner city went to the Daming Gate under the leadership of Chen Yan, a scholar of Dongge University, and Wei Zaode, the priest of Guozi.

"The old man, Dongge University Scholar Chen Yan led the Beijing Division, civil and military officials, to greet His Royal Highness King De, the Duke of Qi."

"Uh......, you are Chen Yan, you kneel first, the big handsome will be here later."

Zhang Shaoqian, the fourth town general who was ordered to attack the imperial city, was stunned, he didn't expect that these court ministers would have such no lower limit, the title of the Duke of Qi was just promised by the emperor, and it had not yet been conferred.

"The Governor has arrived!"

Suddenly!

After the Fourth Town, the Manchurian Green Banner and the surrendered Beijing camp completed the siege of the Forbidden City, Li Xingzhi also arrived in front of the Daming Gate, which represented the majesty of the Ming royal family, surrounded by iron soldiers.

Of course, the German king Zhu Youshu, Li Xingzhi's puppet, and Zhang Sizhi, the deputy assistant of the cabinet who was the first to surrender, also followed Li Xingzhi to the Forbidden City.

"Qiqi Marshal, the civil and military officials of the Beijing Division are all kneeling in Daming Gate, asking to meet His Highness and you, led by Chen Yan who you want to capture, according to the estimation of the last general, the number is probably three or four thousand!"

Because there were too many officials involved, Zhang Shaoqian did not dare to be good at it, and whispered to Li Xingzhi about the situation in front of the Daming Gate.

"Oh...... Hehe, Ben Shuai knows that the civil officials of the court are basically soft eggs without bones, since they are so knowledgeable, Your Highness, let's meet the princes of the imperial court! ”

Since it is difficult to Fengtian and the banner of the German Domain, Li Xingzhi naturally has to make good use of it, and he has to do a full set of plays, otherwise he will not be able to block the mouth of the world.

"Everything is according to the orders of the Grand Governor, and this king has nothing to disobey!"

Zhu Youshu will also be a little excited, as the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, he has always been supported by the imperial court as a rice worm, and the ministers of the imperial court have never taken themselves seriously at all. He never imagined that one day, these nobles of the court would kneel down in front of their horses and bow respectfully to themselves.

"Chen Yan, a scholar of the old minister Dongge University, led hundreds of officials of the imperial court to meet the king, the king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, and the prince of Qi is safe!"

Between Zhu Youshu's thoughts, the war horse had been led to the Daming Gate by the left and right attendants, Chen Yan and Wei Dezao and others did not dare to slack off, and they called out.

"Are all the officials of the Jingshi here?"

The horsewhip in Li Xingzhi's hand was raised slightly, and with the countless torches lit in front of the Daming Gate, he coldly glanced at the hundred officials kneeling on the ground.

"Qi Qi Guogong, Beijing Chinese Wu Da are here, only the cabinet chief assistant Fan Fucui; Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry; Ni Yuanlu, a scholar and waiter; Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital; Zuo Du Deputy Yu Shi Bangyao; Wang Jiayan, the right attendant of the military department; Dali Temple Qing Ling Yiqu; Shu Jishi Wei Xuelian; Meng Zhaoxiang's family, the right attendant of the Criminal Department; Yushi Chen Liangmo; Officials Xu Zhi; Bingbu Chengde; Wu Ganzhong of the household department; More than 40 civilian officials such as Kim Hyun, the head of the military department, have not arrived, and the nobles have not made friends with the lower officials, so the lower officials are not clear! ”

Chen Yan trembled, peeking at Li Xingzhi and Zhu Youshu beside him, thinking in his heart that he would be a son of heaven and a courtier, Fan Jingwen had disobeyed King De this time, and the new dynasty would never allow him to be the first assistant again, and he couldn't say that he could go further.

"Chen Yan is right, this marshal for the country to calm the chaos, the army trekked thousands of miles, to do difficult things, the money and food are not counted, now that you have entered the city, since you are here to welcome His Royal Highness Hou Dewang, then for the marshal to raise 20 million taels of silver to work for the army, tomorrow, this silver must be sent to the front of the Ming Gate, otherwise, you are a traitor against the party, is the object of the handsome Qingjun!"

The matter is a matter of priority, at present, it is the right thing to take the Forbidden City to control Emperor Chongzhen, and Li Xingzhi does not want to kill more evils under the Daming Gate, so he put forward a request for the officials to donate 20 million taels of silver.

"Ah...... The ministers' salaries are only more than 1,000 taels of silver a year, and 20 million taels of silver, where will the ministers come up for a while and a half, can the Duke of Qi be lenient for two days? ”

Hearing Li Xingzhi ask for 20 million pieces of silver, Chen Yan's heart trembled slightly, he had only been in power for five or six months, and a lot of the silver he had made before was directly sent to his hometown in Sichuan.

"You remember to Ben Shuai, this is not for you to donate, this is a military order, violators of the order will be killed, where are Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian? Why don't you come forward to pay homage to His Royal Highness? ”

Li Xingzhi doesn't care what the ministers think, according to historical records, Li Zicheng's gang got more than 70 million taels of gold and silver in Beijing, and it is not too much for him to ask the civil official group for 20 million taels now, and it is not too late to dispose of it after taking the Forbidden City.

"The king and the grandfather put them on the list of traitors, where do they dare to come to the grandfather, they are currently hiding in the private house in Lion Alley, and the lower officials can lead the way for the marshal."

Zhao Yusen, a scholar from Hanlin, stepped forward and looked at Li Xingzhi and Zhu Youshu with a flattering expression.

"Inform Zack and Akma that he led his troops to raid Gao Qiqian and Chen Xinjia's mansion first, and did not let anyone go, all of them were captured in front of the Ming Gate, and their family's belongings were also carried over to Ben Shuai."

"Whoa!"

Li Bangjie bowed down to receive the order, waved his big hand, and began to drive away a group of civil and military officials who were blocking in front of the Daming Gate, and at the same time ordered someone to give Zack an order.

"Qiyu Marshal, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, said that he had something important to ask to see the Metropolitan Governor, and the last general had already brought him to the Daming Gate."

Just when Li Bangjie was about to drive Chen Yan and the others away, Wan Youcai, the deputy general of the fourth town guarding Donghua Gate, escorted a carriage to Li Xingzhi with a happy face.

"Old minister, Zhu Chunchen has seen the king, the Duke of Qi."

Zhu Chunchen, who was entrusted with great things by Chongzhen, followed closely behind Wan Youcai and respectfully bowed three times and bowed nine times.

"Zhu Chunchen, what do you have to do with Ben Shuai?"

Looking at the luxurious carriage behind Zhu Chunchen, Li Xingzhi was moved, in history, this guy sold Chongzhen's sons to Li Zicheng, this will not be Zhu Cihong and others to invite merit and reward.

"The king, the Duke of Qi, the right talent Chongzhen escorted the prince and Empress Yi'an out of Beijing, and the lower officials already supported the king's Qingjun side, how could they be willing to obey Chongzhen's pseudo-edict, but they brought Empress Yi'an and His Royal Highness the Prince to the king and grandfather."

Zhu Chunchen looked flattering, looking at Zhu Youshu and Li Xingzhi like a pug, where is there still the appearance of the chief nobleman of the Beijing Division.

"The Marquis of Penglai, the Governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Li Xingzhi visited Empress Yi'an and His Royal Highness the Prince, forgave the last general with armor on his body, failed to pay the full salute, and asked the queen and the prince to forgive their sins!"

Li Xingzhi no longer ignored Zhu Chunchen and the ministers of the court who knelt on the ground, hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, hurriedly walked to the carriage, and bowed.
