The east showed the white of the fish's belly, and the sky was bright.

Chongzhen got up early, and he still maintained the previous habit of Chongzhen's diligence, although he was the emperor and never lazy in bed.

Sometimes you may go to bed late at night, but you can still wake up early.

The eunuchs and palace maids and those palace guards all felt that the emperor was now a hundred times more energetic in practicing martial arts, and he seemed much younger, and Chongzhen, who was in his 30s and was like an old man, was completely like two people.

That Chongzhen worked all night long, tired himself like a dog, and was decadent like an old man in his 30s.

Chongzhen breathed in the fresh air of the morning, refreshed, his eyes shining, and his spirit was radiant.

Wang Chengen came over to greet him: "Emperor, I really can't bear to disturb you so early, but there is one thing that the old slave still has to say."

"Wang Daban's mother-in-law and mother-in-law, something is going to happen."

"Yes." Wang Chengen straightened up, "Emperor, there are three captives, each with a bigger temper, scolding and scolding all day long to death, Jinyi Wei is still enshrined like an uncle, what does the emperor plan to do with them?"

Chongzhen knew that Wang Chengen was of course talking about Liu Zongmin, Hao Shaoqi and Yuan Zongdi, and the best estimate for these three guys to have an uncle's temper was Yuan Zongdi.

But Yuan Zongdi is only 27 years old this year, and he seems to be in his 30s, with rough and dark skin, and a beard, and he still has a violent temper of a young man.

Not to mention Liu Zongmin and Hao Shaoqi.

These two are guys who stare at people and kill people, but they are dead set on Li Zicheng.

Now the three of them have been captured and captured, and they are all scolding and scolding, and they only want to die.

Although Daming Jinyiwei has a temper, he is really afraid that they will die, so he has to endure his temper for them, for fear that they will have a good and bad thing, and the emperor will blame them, otherwise they would have been beaten into shit.

However, this is not a long-term solution.

Chongzhen smiled, "I was about to talk about the three of them, the three of them are cash cows, more valuable than Chen Yuanyuan, and it's nothing for the soldiers to endure at all."

Wang Chengen was happy, "Emperor Shengming, it is worth more than that Chen beauty, it took a lot of effort to catch these three guys, if it weren't for the emperor's good planning, and the world's miraculous skills, the miscellaneous family and the prince, and Yang Wanli, etc., I don't know how many military brothers would be poisoned by them."

"Well, then this time I will let the thieves give 20 million taels of silver, and I have to let them give food, and there are 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city, who will send them if they don't send food?"

Chongzhen nodded, stamping back and forth in front of Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen is not happy, the emperor is going to knock on the thief's bamboo pole again.

20 million taels of silver this time?

Wang Chengen grinned when he thought about this number, how much silver did the thief have? Now a total of 16 million taels have been knocked out of their hands, and there is still so much food......

Yes, yes, the emperor said that the thieves may not have so much money and food, but these corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty have!

These hateful guys abandoned the emperor at critical moments, some simply betrayed the Ming Dynasty, and some hid in the mansion to play meat.

We have to let the thieves clean them up and squeeze them out one by one.

It's just that I don't know how the emperor plans to make the thieves obediently send the silver and grain to the city this time, and then exchange hostages with them.

The more Wang Chengen thought about it, the more he felt that the emperor Chongzhen had a way to make money, why didn't he come up with such a method before?

At that time, in order to raise official money and military salaries, he often blushed and had a thick neck with those civil and military generals, and finally forced the emperor to take the lead in donating donations.

Even Zhou Guozhang pretended to be poor and sour, and he didn't find rotten rice from that place to eat, he pretended to show others, and only took out a mere 3,000 taels of silver.

It really made the miscellaneous laugh.

In fact, Wang Chengen didn't know the inside story, and what was even more ridiculous was that the 3,000 taels of silver was not voluntarily taken out by Zhou Guozhang, but also from the waist of the queen's daughter.

Queen Zhou felt sorry for his father, and took 10,000 taels from the palace to subsidize his donation, but he was not willing to donate these two silvers, and privately put 7,000 taels into his pocket, only 3,000 taels of which he donated.

The iron rooster that is not pulling out a hairy is estimated to be embarrassed when he sees Zhou Guozhang.

But it is said that after the city was broken, Liu Zongmin baked 3 million taels of silver from his house!

Chongzhen suddenly thought of a way, "This time I am going to execute them at the head of the city, and the three of them will be beheaded, unless Li Zicheng agrees to my conditions."

"Emperor Shengming, this method is good." Wang Chengen stroked his palms and praised, "This saves those thieves from coming to the palace again, fortunately they didn't set fire to the palace last time, in case they burn down the palace, the consequences will be unimaginable." However, after the lessons of the first two times, it is estimated that they will not have the courage to play tricks again, unless he Li Zicheng abandons these three generals."

"Wang Daban rest assured, whoever he gave up, he Li Zicheng couldn't bear Liu Zongmin!" Chongzhen was confident, "It's just better to have a messenger to send a message to the thief."

At this time, a little eunuch came to report that three Shaolin monks came from outside the city to see the emperor and talk about the impermanence of black and white.

Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and the messenger who sent a letter to Li Zicheng came!

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
