Chapter 12 The Ming Emperor's Words of War

"Your Majesty, I'm the best at this!"

Li Zicheng happily looked at the stupid ministers as he spoke, just like a group of fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

The Lords of Gang are so stupid!

They looked at Chongzhen in disbelief.

The latter was now under the rising sun, wearing a twelve chapter robe and a twelve crown on his head, backing against the spectacular city tower of Chengtian Gate, and a crazy hideous face...

"The foolish lord, how can you see Taizu!"

Former Chief Supervisor, Grand Secretary Chen Yan suddenly screamed.

"Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to quickly take down this foolish monarch to correct the destiny of heaven to eliminate future troubles. Zhu's favored eunuchs are invincible, cruel to the people, causing chaos in the world, and imposes heavy taxes to cause starvation and killing people. For more than ten years, the evil spirits are rampant. Your Majesty responds to the fortune of heaven, rises up in the fields, bans and punishes the people, and fights for more than ten years. After more than ten years of bloody battles, we should quickly uphold the throne so that all people can have a place to return, and the world has a support. Moreover, the south of the Jianghuai River has not been determined. Your Majesty will be unrighteous. Your Majesty ascends the throne to the throne and fights against rebellion. My great success can be determined!"

He then said excitedly.

Chongzhen looked at him with a sneer.

Old Chen could actually escape this disaster. He was dismissed in February, but his family's property was too much and he could not be transported away for a while, so he delayed his life in the capital and was blocked. After all, his family's property alone had 40,000 taels of silver.

"What should I do about this person?"

Li Zicheng asked with a smile.

"A marquis who disobey orders is enough!"

Chen Yan waved his hand imposingly.

"What if Shi returns to the south?"

Li Zicheng said.

"Your Majesty, you must not. Although there are six ministries and five military governors in Jiangnan, they do not belong to each other. Yingtian and Fengyang are respected as eunuchs, and they are as powerful as civil officials. In addition, Xu and the nobles of Nanjing formed their own party. If they have no master, they will be dispersed. Your Majesty's army can be defeated in one fell swoop. If they return south, they will be the tigers and the mountain. If they have been the king for a long time, they will be unable to compare with the royal family. If they are in the north, even if they are in Nanjing, it will be difficult to unite and unite. If they are in the south, the south will be integrated. At that time, it will be difficult to take Jiangnan. Your Majesty must not be able to leave the troubles of the future with a temporary benevolence!"

Zhang Jinyan stepped forward without hesitation and said.

This is a broken-down, there is no need to worry about anything anymore!

If you are not kind, don’t blame us for being unrighteous.

What's more, Li Zicheng must have money. People like him know very well how many silver the Chongzhen treasury had. At the beginning of the besieging city, the Ministry of Revenue was only 80,000 taels in total, and they were all taken out for military pay. Chongzhen even sold many decorations in the palace, and he couldn't get money from him. Li Zicheng still has not collected taxes, so as to fulfill his promise that the King of Breakings did not pay grain when he came. All military supplies rely on raiding the house. Since he had not found anything in Beijing, he would have to support hundreds of thousands of troops to support others. Now Chongzhen has clearly told him who should be raided. If they don't show off their performance and let Li Zicheng see their loyalty, they will definitely be the target of raiding the house. At this time, they must not be shameless. Even if they become the laughing stock of others, they must perform well. This is a big event of hundreds of thousands or millions of taels of silver!

Compared to this, face is a big deal!

"So can you kill me?"

Li Zicheng asked.

"This, this, Your Majesty, the man is angry and resentful. He will punish him without any effort. Although Your Majesty is geming, he will be ominous after all."

He just presented the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Tongzhou, later the Prince of the Qing Dynasty and the Grand Tutor of the Prince, Dang Chongya, who had served as a teacher for Brother Ma, stepped forward and said.

"Haha, your Majesty, this is your minister!"

Li Zicheng suddenly said to Chongzhen.

"Hmph, it's your minister!"

Chongzhen sneered.

Li Zicheng smiled and made a move to continue your performance, then picked up the teacup and sat on his Grand Master's chair to continue watching the show.

"Dangqing, I never thought that you were so loyal, but what was punished by God? Is it poisonous wine or white silk? The emperor has his own way of dying, but you have thought it thoroughly for me. You are the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue to supervise Tongzhou and govern all the troops and horses of Tongzhou as guards in the capital. I wonder if you have ever had the danger of a soldier rescuing the capital?"

Chongzhen said to Dang Chongya.

"No, he sent someone five miles to greet my army!"

Li Zicheng said.

"I am just following the decree of heaven."

Dang Chongya said to Li Zicheng humbly.

"Direction, I now know that this is really a good thing. As long as you want to surrender to the enemy, you only need to say that the other party is the destiny of heaven. No matter who the other party is, whether the bandits or the Tartars, it is not a problem. A sentence that the destiny of heaven will be followed by the destiny of heaven, and then surrender will be righteous. This is the result of reading the book of sages? Did Jiannu take over this Beijing city, and you also shout that the destiny of heaven will be kneeling in front of the Chengtian Gate?"

Chongzhen said.

"The tyrant, what are you looking at here and say shamelessly?"

Another minister who was angry and angry stood up.

"What do you want to say?"

Chongzhen sneered.

"Are all those who have sent the Ming Dynasty to this end? Is it all the faults of the ministers? Your Majesty has changed the orders every day, and dozens of auxiliary officials have been replaced in 17 years. The ministers of various departments and the governors of various places have lasted for only a few months. The envoys have traveled on the road. The former received the order to dismiss the imperial edict. Who is not the new official in the year? Your Majesty blames Wei Zaode, and Wei Zaode has been appointed as the chief minister for less than two months, and the former Chen Yan has only been in power for several months. The former Zhou Yanru was given suicide in December last year. The government is in chaos. How can he get the ministers to do their duty? If you judge it by mistake, Your Majesty is the chief criminal of the Ming Dynasty. I wonder how Your Majesty will face Taizu!"

Zuo Maotai, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, said.

"Yes, Your Majesty destroys the world, how can you blame the ministers alone!"

Several ministers immediately agreed.

Fight, fight, whoever is afraid of whom, don’t you dare to do it before, but you don’t dare to do it now? Who still takes you, the king of a devastated country seriously!

"I have changed my orders every day and were forced by you. If you eat the king's salary, who will share your worries? The enemy is in the suburbs. I have summoned all the officials to ask about the plan to prevent the enemy. Who will speak? You are incompetent in governing the country, and you are incompetent in the country. If you are like this, can't I change people?"

Chongzhen said viciously.

"I am incompetent? Your Majesty has never listened to my advice!"

A minister said.

"What strategy do you have? Do you teach me to increase my tuition?"

Chongzhen asked remarks.

"minister……"

The latter is tongue-in-cheek.

"Didn't I advise Your Majesty to be lucky to Nanjing?"

Another minister said.

"When I gathered all the ministers to discuss, why did you shut up again?"

...

"Is this a dog biting a dog?"

Li Zicheng stopped drinking tea and looked at Chongzhen in shock and said to his ministers.

By the way, such scenes are indeed rare.

Moreover, the two sides quickly became passionate and began to reveal their true feelings to each other. The king and his ministers were actually angry. Before, one king and one minister could not tell each other. Now one has become the king of a country that is destroyed, and the other is eager to show his loyalty to the new king. That is completely broken. In the past, all of them were shaking out because of their identity that they were hard to say and dare not say, which was considered a last madness. In particular, the ministers were encouraged by Chongzhen to confiscate Li Zicheng and forced them to share the same hatred for the enemy. They were quite jealous of this foolish monarch. A group of ministers who were all good at talking came to the battle to reveal Chongzhen's true feelings, and even the Yuandudu incident was revealed. Although Chongzhen was alone, the anger of the country and the family was destroyed, he was as if Zhang Yi was possessed by Zhang Yi. Moreover, Wang Chengen was helping around and constantly revealed the ministers' true feelings, and even some of their private things were pulled out. Wang Chengen had a lot of these things.

The king and his ministers were like this, and they were spewing water at the top of the city and under the city.

Not to mention Li Zicheng, even Yang Qing and the people south of Jinshui Bridge, the Shun Army soldiers on the city wall were dumbfounded. It can be said that the emperor's majesty and demeanor were all lost.

"Your Majesty, you won't do anything?"

Yang Qing slipped to Li Zicheng and whispered.

"Are you afraid I will break my promise?"

Li Zicheng said as he looked at the monkey play.

"Your Majesty is not the one who breaks his word, but this goes on endlessly. They have been complaining for more than ten years, and it is probably possible that they will be quarreled until dark."

Yang Qing said.

He was really worried.

Li Zicheng just verbally agreed that he could regret such things at any time, so he reminded Li Zicheng whether it should come forward to tell the ministers and the people that Chongzhen should be officially released to Nanjing.

More importantly, he is still in a hurry to pick Yuanyuan up!

Although Fang Ze altar should be safe, after all, there are walls around it, and there is nothing else to do with a simple altar. There were indeed some people stationed there, but at this time, the Shun Army had already escaped because of the attack on the city. However, I can't guarantee that it is complete. If there is really an idle person climbing over the wall, Yuanyuan will become a fat sheep. Moreover, a weak woman, who had no food or drink since yesterday afternoon, was tied up and threw herself on an empty altar of more than 10,000 square meters. This would take a long time to get mentally ill, and she would have to bite herself to death after meeting.

Li Zicheng glanced at him strangely.

Yang Qing was shocked and subconsciously took a step back.

"Ha ha!"

Li Zicheng stood up with a smile, patted his shoulder, and then in his puzzled gaze, he walked straight to Chongzhen, who was still squirting water. Soon he arrived beside the latter. Chongzhen shut up in shock, and the ministers below were also stunned. Everyone looked at Li Zicheng in confusion, watching him walk in front of Chongzhen. Because he was too close, Chongzhen subconsciously took a step back. Li Zicheng turned his back to the people in front of the door, standing quietly less than two meters away from Chongzhen. With his burly figure, he formed a sense of oppression very well. The sun shone on his armor and reflected golden light. Even Wang Chengen was so scared that he rushed forward, but Li Zicheng stretched out his hand and pushed it away.

Yang Qing looked nervously from the side.

Looking at this scene with equal nervousness, the ministers immediately showed expectations in their eyes, and they all stared wide and waited, waiting for the moment when Li Zicheng killed the foolish monarch with one knife.

Then……

"My minister Li Zicheng bowed to Your Majesty!"

Li Zicheng knelt down and kowtowed and shouted.
