The royal families of the Ming Dynasty, including the King of Qin and the King of Jin, were all placed in one house. This house was originally a temporary residence for imperial examination students in Taiyuan City.
At present, as soon as the palace is confiscated by the invading army, all the sects and vassals who have lost their residences will be resettled here. In addition to the palace, the hundreds of millions of money stored in the palace will of course all be attributed to the military expenses of the invading army.
Both the King of Qin and the King of Jin were rich men who lived in wine ponds and meat forests. They enjoyed all the glory and wealth in this world. To let princes and nobles like them live in private houses where scholars temporarily lived was like falling from heaven into the hell of Abi. It was unspeakably miserable.
.
Housing is the second priority, and food is the top priority. Whether it is the King of Qin, the King of Jin, or other princes and princes, who is not tired of food and fine food? Now in this small courtyard, although the invading army has no orders
They were starving, but the Yiying clan was all given rations according to the level of treatment of ordinary soldiers in the Chuang army.
Although the food was enough to satisfy one's hunger, and there were some vegetables and meats from time to time, it was still far from the food treatment that even the distant sects and sects enjoyed every day.
It was also because of this that the King of Jin did not take into account the "hatred between the country and the family" between him and Li Zicheng. The contenders cried to the intruders with snot and tears, complaining that Huang Taiji, the father of the Ming Dynasty, "forced to kill" Emperor Chongzhen.
hatred.
"Your majesty, King Chuang, is benevolent and righteous. You must repay the hatred of the enemies of this country for me!" As he said this, the King of Jin knelt down like a crowd. The King of Qin, who was half a step slower to react, was dumbfounded.
After waiting for another long time, King Qin finally organized his words and said slowly: "The late emperor, as the master of the Holy Ming Dynasty, made extraordinary changes. Even if he killed the head of the Donglu chieftain and spread it to the world, it would not be enough to save the people of Zongshe."
Hate. There is only one most important thing at the moment, and that is to deal with the prisoners! Whoever can deal with the prisoners can avenge the Ming Dynasty for the revenge of this king and father. We, the Zhu clan, should also take it as the most important thing in the world.
Thank you!"
Li Zicheng did not look at the two impatient Ming Dynasty vassal kings, but asked Li Shuangxi and others to dismount, and then slowly walked into the small courtyard with the generals of the invading army.
He gently waved his hand, signaling to the guards to prepare seats for Li Guo, Li Laiheng and others. He shook his cloak slightly, and then explained to Li Laiheng:
"There are rumors in Hedong that Emperor Chongzhen has been killed by the Eastern captives in the capital. According to the rumor, it was the captive chief Taiji who asked Emperor Chongzhen for the national seal treasure, and then forced Chongzhen to issue an edict to attack us. Although Chongzhen was defeated by Yang Sichang, Chen Yan, etc. in the past
The treacherous officials were bewildered and repeatedly acted in the opposite direction, even draining away the people's wealth and anointing.
However, when Emperor Chongzhen was surrounded by the captive cavalry, he suddenly realized how Yang Sichang, Chen Yan and other treacherous ministers were engaging in personal rivalry with the party. He finally realized this and decided not to write an edict for the captive chief. Huang Taiji ordered the first and assistant ministers in the court to do so.
Chen Yan, together with Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and Du Xun, the eunuch who held the seal, personally led a group of cavalry warriors into the palace and forcibly snatched the national seal from Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen refused to obey, but he was pushed away by Du Xun and hit the golden dragon pillar of the main hall. His head was bruised and bleeding, and he died."
Li Laiheng himself had first-hand information from the Red Team and Ken Deji in Beijing, so he naturally knew that Huang Taiji had already surrounded the Forbidden City and completely sealed it off.
Now that the Forbidden City is cut off from foreign traffic, even if the Red Team makes use of Fang Yizhi and Chen Zilong's scholarly connections to find some of their old friends who are still officials in Beijing, they will not be able to find out what is going on in the palace.
Where did Li Zicheng come from the information channel, and he could actually describe the scene in which Chongzhen vowed to defend the national seal to the death and crashed to death on the Golden Palace?
This is of course self-evident. There is nothing to say. It must be a rumor fabricated by Chuang Jun. Li Laiheng can also estimate that it is most likely the work of Song Xiance.
Of course, what Li Zicheng was talking about was "rumors from Hedong." Rumors, rumors, were of course "rumors." Li Zicheng did not insist that Emperor Chongzhen had "died heroically" now, but only told the King of Qin and King Jin of the Ming Dynasty that he was now
Such a saying is spreading in Shanxi area.
How the King of Qin and the King of Jin, the Ming clan clan kings, will behave next is their own business, and obviously has nothing to do with the Chuang Army.
Li Zicheng just sent Niu Jinxing to briefly mention to them the policies for dealing with the Zhu Ming clan after the Chuang Army was about to found the country: regardless of whether they were distant poor clans or close clan kings, as long as there were no blood feuds or blood debts, they would be released to the people, and they would be with the clan.
It is no different to compile a household and bring together the people.
certainly!
All the property of the palace must be lost to the invading army.
Although Niu Jinxing told the King of Qin and the King of Jin, considering that among the sects of the Ming Dynasty, many people were older, and many of them did not have the skills to make a living. Therefore, many clans could accept it first.
They will receive support from the Chuang Army for several months, and will be given rations according to the specifications and levels of ordinary soldiers in the Chuang Army - but it will only last for a few months at most. After these few months, they will find ways to find food for themselves.
Eat food.
You must know that just by eating according to the rations of ordinary soldiers in the Chuang Army, the two great vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, King Qin and King Jin, are already miserable.
If it is true as Niu Jinxing said, even this level of rations will be taken away in a few months...can you still survive?
Under such circumstances, the two vassal princes must of course seize every opportunity to express their loyalty to Chuang Jun: Okay, didn't you Chuang Jun rumor that Emperor Chongzhen was dead? Then, as the clan vassals of the Ming Dynasty, we will help Chuang Jun.
He insisted that the Qing army killed Emperor Chongzhen, and then, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty clan, asked the Chuang army to help the Ming Dynasty avenge the righteous enmity of this emperor and his father!
The King of Jin even kowtowed his head and cried: "I heard that King Lu of Jiangnan had accepted the false edict from the imperial court and called himself a prisoner of the country. King Xiaofu of Jiangnan was a close descendant of the late emperor. I heard that even he
Regardless of the great hatred of the emperor and his father who was harmed by the imperial court, he also accepted the false edict and claimed to be a governor-general of military affairs! How shameless are these Lu Fan and Fu Fan?"
King Qin felt bad when he saw King Jin crying so hard, and when he saw Li Zicheng still nodding his head. Li Zicheng clapped his hands and said to King Jin:
"You are a truly loyal minister. I am very happy and I will reward you with fifty taels of silver... Since Emperor Chongzhen has been killed and the Ming Dynasty is left without a master, who do you think can succeed him as king?"
The King of Jin carefully huddled up and did not dare to raise his head. He buried his head and said: "King Chuang crossed the Qin and Jin Dynasties and had millions of troops. There is only one person in the world who can avenge the former emperor and his country. King Chuang is the only one in the world. There is no master in the world."
, I should act as king of Chuang, obey the destiny, follow the people's will, and immediately ascend to the great treasure, the title of Zhengdi!"
The King of Qin felt pain in his heart and felt that the opportunity had been missed. The King of Jin had allowed the King of Jin to take away Zhu Mingzong's first success in persuading Li Zicheng to join. He was hungry for several days and finally realized how huge a sum of money a mere fifty taels of silver was.
Wealth, looking into King Jin's eyes at this moment, was of course extremely jealous.
Li Zicheng laughed several times and said to Li Laiheng with a smile: "Laiheng, you said that the world has no master, who should succeed him as the king?"
Succession to the throne...
Li Laiheng lowered his head. Li Zicheng said that he would succeed to the throne but not ascend to the throne. It seems that he still felt that now was not a good time to immediately ascend to the throne and proclaim himself emperor, right?
"What does His Highness mean...?" But Li Laiheng finally said, "No matter what His Highness means, in my opinion, Your Highness should immediately assume the throne."
After Li Zicheng and Li Guo looked at each other and smiled, they directly said to the King of Jin: "Emperor Chongzhen was killed by the Donglu and died. However, the country cannot be without a master for a day, and the world cannot be without a king for a day. I want to take the throne from the Ming Dynasty clan.
Choose a handsome man to inherit the Ming Dynasty in Taiyuan. But we Chuangjun are all villagers in the mountains and we don’t know the moral order of the Ming Dynasty clan. Who do you think is the most suitable person to succeed to the throne?"
Li Zicheng's words made the King of Jin dare not speak at all. He didn't know whether Chuang Jun really suddenly changed his mind and wanted to support the Ming Empress to support the imperial court, or whether Li Zicheng was luring the snake out of its hole and preparing to call out the sword if he said the wrong thing.
Axeman killed himself?
Over there, King Qin finally found a chance to speak: "Prince Chuang! The hatred between husband, king and father is irreconcilable. The meaning of "Spring and Autumn" is that if there are thieves and they are not punished, then the old king will not be buried with books, and the new king will not be able to take the throne with books, so be careful
The law is extremely strict when it comes to rebellious ministers and traitors. I captured Huang Taiji from the east, claimed that he was a soldier and invaded the palace, and poisoned my relatives with my own hands. How could the new monarch succeed to the throne if he did not suppress the traitors in the world?"
