Two days later, Chongzhen found Cao Huachun and asked, "What is the public opinion in the capital?"

"Back to the emperor!"

Cao Huachun said with a waist, "This morning, there were some rumors about Kaifeng military situation in the capital. I sent people to gather in teahouses, restaurants, and places where people gathered in secret. Hundreds of unruly people who spread rumors have been arrested, and they are still pursuing them."

Chongzhen gave up and said, "It is known to everyone in Kaifeng to be surrounded by vertical and vertical lines. What other rumors are there?"

"I am guilty of death and dare not report it."

Cao Huachun knelt down and said with his head down.

Chongzhen was shocked, and observed Cao Huachun's expression, and said helplessly: "You are my family and my heart and ears. No matter what the rumor is, you can just say that I will not be guilty."

Cao Huachun said carefully: "It is rumored in the capital that Li Zicheng will establish a national name after capturing Kaifeng and compete with the emperor for the world. Some people have also rumored that Li Xin went north and headed straight to the capital. The people in the three camps of the capital were panic, and they have already... already..."

As he said that, Cao Huachun was already sweating all over his face and couldn't continue to say anything.

"What already?"

Chongzhen urged him loudly.

Cao Huachun gritted his teeth: "The middle and lower-level soldiers have already begun to conspire and conspire, saying that as soon as the Xin thief enters the capital, they will first take the heads of Tang Tong, Liu Zeqing, Zhou Yuji, Bai Guangen and other generals, and offer them to Xin thief to be granted official positions and promoted..."

"presumptuous!"

Chongzhen felt his blood surge, his head buzzed, and he grabbed the paperweight on the desk and smashed it to Cao Huachun who was kneeling on the ground!

Fortunately, Chongzhen was not accurate enough and did not hit him. However, the howling wind that wiped his ears still made Cao Huachun sweat so much that he was so scared that he hurriedly kowtowed.

"The emperor calms down. I deserve to die for ten thousand times, and I deserve to die for ten thousand times!"

Chongzhen's face turned red, and his eyes seemed to be about to spit out of fire, but he still couldn't hide his deep fear. After a while, he reluctantly calmed down and asked, "Is this true or false?"

Cao Huachun said tremblingly: "The camps in the capital have been burdened with the emperor's grace. How could it be impossible for him to follow the thief, it should be a rumor."

Chongzhen felt a little calm and nodded, "Keep paying close attention to the movements of the thieves and the trespasses, and walk in the capital camps, strictly guard against the thieves, and do not let the thieves succeed. In addition, anyone who talks about state affairs and spreads rumors will be prohibited. If anyone spreads news for the thieves and incites people's hearts, they will be arrested and punished strictly. The Dongchang must work with the Jinyiwei to conduct strict investigations. No thieves will be involved in the capital and suppress the thieves. I have their own arrangements."

"I will receive the order!"

Cao Huachun hurriedly kowtowed and responded.

Chongzhen was unwilling to continue this worrying topic and changed his mouth and asked, "What are the subjects talking about Hong Chengchou?"

A few days ago, Chongzhen wanted to imprison Hong Chengchou's family. When women and property were destroyed, it was Cao Huachun's love. The Hong family would do things and secretly gave him and Wu Mengming a bribe. At this time, he took the opportunity to speak for the Hong family: "Hong Chengchou failed the grace of the holy people and surrendered to the enemy without integrity. He actually came out of the accident of the subjects in the capital. The subjects saw that the emperor did not pursue the governance of the Hong family. They said that the emperor was kind and kind, and he was the king of Yao and Shun for all ages. Hong Chengchou was not as good as pigs and dogs."

Chongzhen sighed: "Hong Chengchou cannot learn from Wen Tianxiang and become a virtuous person. I can only hope that he will be Wang Meng."

Wang Meng was deeply favored by Fu Jian and once advised Fu Jian not to visit Jin. This shows that the lower limit of Chongzhen was already very low.

Cao Huachun agreed and said, "What the emperor said is, the scholars and people in the capital originally admired and praised Hong Chengchou, but now they say that he is probably not as good as Wang Meng. The people curse the people of the Hong family, which scared his master and slaves to show up on the street. They closed the door all day long, but the people still refused to give in. They openly covered the Hong family's door with manure, and people kept throwing shit through the walls."

Chongzhen felt his heart be happy, smiled and asked, "Does the Ministry of Works remove the sacrificial shed?"

Cao Huachun said: "Qi Zuo, the people demolished all the elegiac couplets and the Ministry of Rites did not have time to take them away, and the people snatched all the elegy couplets and the Ministry of Rites had no time to take them away, and they were also snatched away by the people."

"Oh? There are no soldiers guarding?"

Chongzhen said in surprise.

Cao Huachun picked up Chongzhen's preference and said, "When a man heard that he had failed the emperor's kindness and surrendered to the Tartars, who would guard the soldiers? Besides, the soldiers were so angry that they could not invade. The soldiers were happy to go with the flow, and they acted like a little, shouted and suppressed, but actually watched the fun. I heard that Hong Chengchou's spiritual card was taken by a soldier and threw it into the toilet pit."

"Yeah~~"

Chongzhen was very comforted and stroked his beard and said, "The country has been blessed for three hundred years, and the people's spirit in the capital can be used after all. Okay, you can retreat!"

Cao Huachun kowtowed and stepped down respectfully.

...

Linqing, because the enemy troops were sieging the city, there was a panic of wind and panic. The city was full of soldiers, and the guns of artillery were facing the city, but the generals on the city were still sweating profusely, and soldiers were vaguely talking around.

"Old governor, what should I do? Let me make an idea!"

Li Cheng, the commander of the Linqing Weidu, looked left and right in fear and asked anxiously.

Linqing is a prefecture, and the governor Xu Wenyuan was in his forties. Yesterday, the bandit army stopped at Linqing City and did not continue north as before. He realized that he was going to be finished. Overnight, his hair was half white.

At this time, he smiled bitterly: "It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married. It's just that I have received great favor from the emperor. At worst, I can just sacrifice my life for my country. At least I will leave some innocence in the world!"

When he said this, Xu Wenyuan's arms were trembling. Everyone could see that he was insincere, but what could it be?

Linqing had only tens of thousands of soldiers, and his morale was weak and his soldiers were lacking in training. Three years ago, when the Qing army invaded for the fifth time, when passing Linqing, some soldiers were so scared that they cried on the top of the city. Fortunately, the Qing army commander Dorgon's target was not Linqing, but Jinan, which allowed the people of Linqing to escape. Today, with the enemy army coming, can Linqing be spared?

"Old governor, the thief is here!"

Li Cheng suddenly pointed down.

Several cavalry rushed out of the bandit formation, rushing straight along the way without carving out the cannons, guns, arches and arrows at the top of the city, and they were extremely arrogant until they stopped about ten feet from the top of the city.

"Arrogant!"

Xu Wenyuan cursed softly, but he did not dare to order the guns and fired cannons under the city. He only used the two armies to fight and not kill them to comfort himself.

The person who came was Huang Hai, and called upwards: "Huang Hai, the company commander of the bandits' guards, can the governor Xu be there? My commander-in-chief ordered me to tell me!"

Li Xin originally planned to send two people to speak casually, but the vanguard battalion and the personal guard company were too powerful to rob. The personal guard company was tolerant, but who was unbearable? Huang Hai was unwilling to be suppressed by the vanguard battalion anymore, so he asked for his orders to persuade him to surrender.

Li Xin realized that he did not dare to shoot at the top of the city, so he agreed.

Xu Wenyuan poked his head out and called out loudly: "This is the case, your enemy army was politely urged by the emperor. He should have felt that the emperor was grateful and was sincerely serving as the country. What is the purpose of surrounding me now?"

Xu Wenyuan's original intention was to show his authority, but his heart was frightened and his voice trembled.

Huang Hai said seriously: "According to the exact news, the Qing army is about to invade for the sixth time. In order to protect the safety of the people of Shandong, the commander-in-chief led the army north to take over Linqing. He asked the governor Xu to open the city and go out to greet him immediately. Otherwise, the heads of people will fall to the ground and don't regret it!"

"What, the Tartars are coming!"

"Damn it, I've just left for a while and I'm coming again!"

"The Tartars are cruel. I heard that they destroyed Jinan three years ago, and that was a bloody river of killing!"

There was a loud noise on the top of the city wall, filled with a panic atmosphere.

"The Tartars are still outside the pass, so why should they go south? Don't be alarmist!"

Xu Wenyuan was so scared that he almost couldn't stand steadily, so he forced the battlements to call down.

Huang Hai smiled coldly: "Whether you believe it or not, the city today must be opened if it doesn't open. Of course, the heart of the commander-in-chief Bodhisattva has long left a way out for you. For all officials above the ninth rank and generals above the small flag, no matter how much you have greedy or how much you have taken before, we will not investigate in the past. Those who are willing to stay can also leave with their immediate relatives and money. As for ordinary soldiers and officials, I won't say much, the reputation of our bandit army must have been passed down long ago.

Old governor, I hope you don’t want to be obsessed with it and open the door as soon as possible. Hello, I, Hello everyone!”

Xu Wenyuan's heart was shocked. He was afraid to tell the truth and did not have any confidence to fight the enemy army. Looking at the officials and generals on both sides, many people looked at Xu Wenyuan directly.

However, the Ming Dynasty was guilty of losing territory, so he wanted to fight for it again, so he said: "This province was appointed by the Ministry of Personnel, and the emperor ordered it to be the emperor. How could he leave just by saying that what is the law of the Ming Dynasty?"

Huang Hai laughed and said, "Old Governor, aren't you just afraid of taking the crime of losing your land? Today's Ming Dynasty, besides Zhili, Hebei, the court can take care of where the court can go. If you are afraid of being investigated, you can move your family to Huaiyang. The commander-in-chief will ensure you are thorough. Okay, open the door quickly. If you continue talking, the commander-in-chief will order the firing!"

"this……"

Xu Wenyuan looked at the strict military appearance under the city and couldn't help but sigh, and reluctantly waved his hand: "Open the door!"
