Chongzhen ordered someone to lift the curtain of the dragon's car and deliberately exposed him.

Although Baoding is not as large as the crowd he returned to Beijing from Shanhaiguan, it is also empty.

Most of these ordinary people and local officials and gentry did not know the inside story. But they could vaguely guess that Wu Sangui and the crown prince had just left, and the emperor had come to Baoding again, and it seemed that something big was about to happen.

Chongzhen could fully feel the enthusiasm and grandeur of the people in the city, and Chongzhen waved to them.

It seems that there are still a lot of people who are interested in Daming.

After all, the Ming Dynasty has a foundation of more than 270 years, although many people hate the social chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the darkness of the imperial court, and they are looking forward to changing the dynasty as soon as possible.

But once this dynasty is lost, I feel that it is better to be Ming.

Isn't the short-lived Dashun the best counterexample?

Through the sedan curtain, some old gentry and lucky ordinary people also saw Chongzhen wearing a dragon crown and a dragon robe, and they were full of praise, feeling that the Ming Emperor was heroic and too young.

Some were fortunate enough to meet Li Zicheng and felt that compared with the self-proclaimed Emperor Dashun, Chongzhen was more of a son of heaven.

Chongzhen waved all the way to the welcoming people in the city, and entered Baoding with an army of 30,000, Chongzhen would not worry about any accidents at all.

If Wu Sangui really dares to do tricks in the city, then the new and old accounts will be settled with him. Anyway, he drove Li Zicheng for the Ming Dynasty for so long, from Shanhaiguan to the capital and then to Hebei, and I didn't suffer a loss if he killed him.

It's a big deal, and I personally clean up Li Zicheng.

Chongzhen, this can be regarded as a daring artist.

In this case, if you change people, you will not dare to enter the city rashly.

There have already been officials of Baoding Mansion who vacated the most luxurious and generous mansion here for Chongzhen, and cleaned it up, which is Chongzhen's temporary palace.

Of course, the 30,000-strong army will not all be stationed in the city.

Wang Chengen is also a person who knows the soldiers, and he must consider the emperor's safety everywhere. Just in case, 20,000 soldiers and horses were left to be stationed outside the city, and the chief soldier Lu Mingzhang was in charge of commanding.

The remaining 10,000 horses were stationed in the city by Ma Quanxing to protect Chongzhen's safety, and there were also 3,000 pioneer battalions of Ma Bao and Gu Shunyi, who also lived in the city.

Chongzhen's temporary palace line has 1,000 brocade guards responsible for guarding, five steps and a post, ten steps and a sentry are heavily guarded, within a radius of several hundred meters, all by the soldiers and police weapons, outsiders can not approach at all.

After taking the emperor in like an old lady, the magistrates of Baoding Mansion trembled and waited outside to listen to the announcement.

Baoding has a long history, as early as the first year of Hongwu, that is, in 1368, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang set up Baoding Mansion. During the Zhengde period, the governor's yamen was set up in Baoding, and the governor's yamen was set up in Baoding in the 11th year of Chongzhen. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the location of Baoding Mansion became more prominent, and it directly became the provincial capital of Beizhili.

Therefore, there are many local officials in Baoding Prefecture, and their levels are relatively high, and such a scene of welcoming the emperor and the prince is not ranked at all.

After Chongzhen stayed in the temporary palace, he immediately summoned these local officials, and more than 4 grades came to meet the driver.

There are the governor of Beizhili, the governor of Beizhili, the prefect of Baoding, the military preparation of Baoding, the rebellion of Baoding, and the political envoy of Baoding, etc.

Although the era of war and chaos, especially Baoding, in just a few months and two months, has experienced the repeated transition of Daming-Dashun-Daming, these officials are incomplete.

But at this time, there were also five imperial halls above the fourth rank who knelt down in front of Chongzhen's eyes and shouted long live, and then kowtowed.

Some of these people were fortunate enough to meet the emperor, and most of them were seeing the emperor for the first time.

Chongzhen's face sank like water, he didn't speak, and these people didn't dare to raise their heads, kneeling there.

"Let's calm down first."

"Long live thanks."

These people dare to get up, but they stand in good order, and listen to the hadith.

Chongzhen nodded to Wang Chengen, and Wang Chengen understood.

"Ahem," Wang Chengen cleared his throat, "The emperor has decreed that those who have surrendered to the thieves will stand on the left, and those who have not surrendered to the thieves will stand on the right side of the prince a few days ago."

The officials chuckled in their hearts.

It is said that the emperor likes to settle accounts after the autumn, is this to settle accounts after the autumn?

But in the face of the emperor and so many brocade guards and eunuchs, these officials broke out in a cold sweat, and no one dared to deceive.

There were really three people standing on the left, namely the governor of Zhili and the governor of Zhili, plus one Baoding rebel.

Two stood on the right, namely Baoding Bingbeidao and Baoding Political Envoy.

"Take down all the thieves who once surrendered!"

"The emperor spares his life, the emperor knows that we are wrong, and we don't dare anymore......" The three officials were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, the prince did not treat their crimes, and allowed them to make meritorious contributions, but they did not expect the emperor to spare them.

They never dreamed that the emperor would come here to settle accounts with them. If they could have thought of this level, they would have fled for their lives a long time ago.

In the blink of an eye, the three officials were tied up by the brocade guard.

"You took the court's money, but you didn't think about serving the country, and took refuge in the thieves, and now the thieves have fallen, and you have come to the emperor again, so capricious is even worse than the thieves, and immediately cut off your head!"
