On the way to the Queen's palace, Chongzhen recalled the tragic thing that happened to him not long ago.

The mood became heavier, and it was difficult to breathe.

He was afraid that after entering the door, what he saw was the scene of the person he loved most, the Queen Zhou hanging herself.

"Father!

A spiritual female voice sounded behind Chongzhen.

Hearing this voice, Chongzhen trembled all over, and almost fainted with excitement.

This is the voice of Princess Changping, who was born to him and Queen Zhou.

"Father, why are you sweating so much? Are you working too hard for the country?

Another childish voice asked.

This is his five-year-old daughter, Princess Zhaoren.

As if he had exhausted all his strength, Chongzhen turned his head with difficulty.

Seeing Changping holding his sister, he looked at Zhu Youjian with a smile.

For a while, with mixed feelings, he hugged his two daughters and cried and said:

"My son... I'm sorry for your father!"

"Father! What is the reason for this?"

Chang Ping was a little embarrassed, she was already 16 years old, and she forgot how long she hadn't been hugged by her father.

"Father, the emperor hurts Ren'er!" Zhao Ren, five years old, said with a smile, his tender little hand wanted to push him away.

"Your Majesty...are you done?

Queen Zhou heard the movement and came out to check.

It can be seen that Queen Zhou looks very haggard, and she should be also oppressed by the impending death of the country.

As the mother of Ming Dynasty, she also broke her heart for the country.

In the harem, he led the concubine and the maid, and weaved together to raise the army's salaries.

"Queen..." Emperor Chongzhen let go of his daughter and hugged Queen Zhou.

Ah - none of the people present thought that the emperor would do such an outrageous act.

Could it be that the country is about to perish, and His Majesty has made the final decision?

"T!..."

Empress Zhou suddenly couldn't say anything, just treat it as the last warm time.

"It's all right! The Ming Dynasty is saved! Good days are coming!" Chongzhen let go of the queen and said tenderly, holding her shoulders.

"Your Majesty? Is this true? Is Wu Sangui leading the troops to the capital? 35

Queen Zhou took a careful look at her husband and felt that she was not telling a lie.

"It's a long story, I have already ordered people to prepare meals, and our family eats and talks. 35

Chongzhen saw the prince coming with his two young sons in the distance, and explained with a smile.

When he entered the door, he saw the three-foot white silk on Empress Zhou's table, and Chongzhen's face suddenly twitched.

The two palace maids hurriedly put them away and served a few people to sit down.

"I was wrong before, I was stubborn and wanted to save face. From now on, I will never do this kind of thing again. Chongzhen smiled and comforted Queen Zhou.

"Hey, now talking about this..."

Queen Zhou wants to say what else is there to use, how good it would be to send the prince to Nandu earlier!

But just now her husband said she was saved, and she didn't know what was going on, so she could only listen to Chongzhen first.

"The reason why I say this is because I met an immortal and was rescued by him!" Chongzhen said without hesitation.

This is also learned from Qin Shihuang. Zulong is not afraid to talk about immortals to the outside world. He naturally has no reason to hide it from his family.

But the family is different from the courtiers, only after the situation is stabilized.

Chongzhen only planned to tell the courtiers about the encounter with the immortals, so as not to make the ministers feel that they were hysterical, but it had a counterproductive effect.

Sure enough, hearing this, Queen Zhou looked at Chongzhen worriedly,

After the heart is finished, it really is too much pressure, causing the husband to go crazy?

The three sons and two daughters also looked at Chongzhen in surprise, unable to believe that this was what their father said.

Chongzhen sighed and told everything he was going to experience tomorrow.

Of course, in order to protect Zhaoren's young heart, he didn't say anything about killing his daughter...

The queen heard from him that his father even gave his grandson to Li Zicheng in order to survive.

Although trembling with anger, he also believed three points.

She really doesn't believe anything else, but Zhou Kui can definitely do such a thing!

Before Chongzhen called on ministers to donate money to help pay, this week Kui is not even a haircut.

He also deliberately stripped the roof of the mansion to pretend to be poor, so that many ministers followed his example.

Empress Zhou couldn't stand it any longer, so she sold the jewelry and raised 5,000 taels to her father, who asked him to donate it in his own name to save the Zhou family's face.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Kui deducted 3,000 taels and only donated 2,000 taels this week.

Empress Zhou was so angry that she vomited blood and almost cut off the relationship.

"So, I want to use the people on the list of Immortal Masters to make a knife..."

Chongzhen did not continue to speak, because he came here for the second purpose.

That is how to deal with his father-in-law Zhou Kui, you must first say hello to Queen Zhou.

Eh...Empress Zhou also heard it, she sighed and said:

"In extraordinary times, with extraordinary means, since Your Majesty has made up his mind, I beg His Majesty to leave a whole body for the sake of me and his father and daughter.

Such a father, not worth mentioning.

Even his own grandson can be dedicated to the thief.

Leave a whole body even if you have done your filial piety.

Chongzhen was overjoyed, he thought Queen Zhou would disagree.

If that's the case, then he doesn't have any worries!

After a very warm family dinner, Emperor Chongzhen returned to the Golden Palace.

This time, it was Qinglong Jinyiwei who sent the order, so the efficiency of the work was extremely high, and it only took half the usual time to notify the place.

Officials came in one after another, but according to the proportion, it was less than one-fifth of the time of the Great Court.

It can be seen that no matter what, some people will not come when the time comes.

Chongzhen was not in a hurry, and sneered about the manpower in his mind.

Until he looked at an old courtier and was supported and walked in.

"Fan Gong!" Chongzhen hurriedly stood up to greet him.

This Fan Jingwen, at this time, was already distraught, and did not eat for three days.

According to the list given to Chongzhen by Su Tian, ​​Fan Jingwen was the first to die for the country, and he was also the highest civil servant to die for the country.

When Li Zicheng broke through the inner city, he entered the palace to find Emperor Chongzhen, who was already on his way to hang himself in Meishan.

Fan Jingwen heard that the eunuch said that His Majesty had left, and thought that someone in Chongzhen had escorted him from the Forbidden City.

After writing a suicide note with peace of mind, he jumped into a well and died.

"Quick, bring the broth and rice paste!"

Chongzhen had been prepared for a long time, and ordered someone to bring the table and chairs to eat, and personally asked Fan Jingwen to eat some food first.

This wave of operations really stunned the surrounding ministers.

The country is about to be subjugated, how can you still care that the courtier has not eaten for a few days?

Is this the Chongzhen they knew?

That Chongzhen, who has been hysterical in recent days and is about to go mad?

"Your Majesty...Old minister..." Fan Jingwen was getting old, and because of anxiety and hunger, he couldn't speak clearly.

There are only tears of remorse in the eyes, which makes people look regretful.

"Fan Gong doesn't have to do this, I already have a good strategy for defeating the enemy, you can rest assured to eat and rest, and I will talk about it later.

Chongzhen smiled and comforted Fan Jingwen, perhaps it was his calmness that moved the old man.

Lao Fan really felt at ease and started to eat batter and drink broth to regain his strength.

Looking around coldly, the hall still looks empty.

He has given enough time, it seems that the ministers who did not come are already writing letters of persuasion.

(Book of Persuasion: The ancient surrendering officials wrote articles similar to surrender, meaning to persuade the enemy to enter the city to seize power. When Zhu Di was in trouble, he was persuaded by the ministers to enter the city.)

I took out the list written by Su Tian and compared it, and it was exactly the same as what the Immortal Master said.

Those who can stand in this hall are either absolute loyal ministers, the kind who sacrifice themselves for the country after breaking the city.

Either there is hope for the Ming Dynasty, and although there are flaws such as corruption, they are still willing to contribute.

that's enough……

"I just ordered Jinyiwei to convey orders from all over the world, do all the Aiqings know about it?" Chongzhen said.

The ministers present looked at each other and dared not speak.

Only Liu Wenbing stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the treasury is now empty, with tens of thousands of soldiers in the capital, tens of thousands of taels a day, I am afraid it will not be able to maintain it for a long time.

This Liu Wenbing was a foreign relative of the Ming Dynasty, was named Xinlehou, and was also a cousin of Chongzhen.

In Su Tian's list, he is the highest honor who died in the Ming Dynasty.

The meaning he expressed is also very simple, that is, the policy is good, but if the implementation is not in place, it will definitely be counterproductive.

At that time, if the promised money is not in place, wouldn't it be a mutiny?

Who knew that Chongzhen smiled coldly after hearing this: "No need to worry about Xinlehou, I can solve the silver tael beforehand!"

what?

As soon as these words came out, the officials above the court were all shocked.

Could it be that Your Majesty is crazy?

When did you keep talking like this?

If it can be resolved, TM will transfer Wu Sangui's Guan Ningjun back.

When Wu Xiang asked for 1 million taels, why didn't they see you solve the silver taels?

Wouldn't it be printing treasure money, now no one recognizes that waste paper...

Although everyone didn't believe it, no one touched Chongzhen's brows, and for a while they all kept silent.

Chongzhen also saw what everyone was thinking, and asked with a smile, "Then Wei Zaode, what's the situation now?"

He said this to Jin Yiwei, but everyone was a little surprised and didn't understand why His Majesty asked this.

After a while, something even more surprising happened.

A few strong men in golden clothes and guards, the one who dragged in the bloody one was Wei Zaode.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Mr. Wei is deeply attached to Daming, and is willing to pay 38,000 taels for the Beijing army, and to guarantee the truth with his son's life!"

F*ck... Everyone was so shocked that their back molars were about to be shattered.

Is this torture and then forcing people to donate money?

And then threaten the other's son's life?

Who could have imagined this?

Suddenly, some pity, some sympathize, and some snicker at Wei Zaode.

Your Majesty should have had such a means long ago, how could Li Zicheng have anything to do with it?

At the same time, he was also slightly afraid, and even the chief minister of the cabinet was treated like this.

Isn't His Majesty doing such extraordinary things for the sake of money?

Whether he will be the next Wei Zaode, for a time most officials feel that they are in danger.

Luo Yangxing and Li Ruolian, the deputy officials of Jinyiwei in the main hall, frowned secretly when they looked at Jinyiwei who was dragging people up.

Xindao looked at these people, and they were absolute masters with extraordinary skills. Where did Your Majesty find them?

Sitting on the dragon chair, Chongzhen also noticed the reaction of the ministers, and said with relief:

"My dear fellows, those who can still come during this time of crisis are all my loyal and loyal people. Don't worry, I won't do the stupid thing of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge again!"

huh?

The officials at the station were shocked!

Now everyone heard something wrong, Emperor Chongzhen actually knew that what he had done before was stupid?

Is this still the face-saving Chongzhen they knew before?

But if there was some responsibility in the past, it doesn't stop there, right?

"However... I am extremely short of money now, so I still have to do something practical. 99

"Come on! Take Luo Yangxing down!"

As soon as Chongzhen's voice fell, a few Qinglong Jinyiwei swooped over and smashed two scabbards towards Luo Yangxing's calf.

Before Luo Yangxing could react, he felt that he lost his focus and fell down.

An excruciating pain made him scream, and his calf was broken.

"Your Majesty, find a copy of the book of persuasion!" Jin Yiwei searched Luo Yangxing and found the surrender book hidden in the lining.

`"Let the ministers circulate it to see if it is the traitor's note! 39

"Passing the order, Jin Yiwei commanded Luo Yangxing to cooperate with the enemy and betray the country. The crime is unforgivable, and he can pull out the Meridian Gate and behead his family property!""

The two strong men in Jinyiwei led the screaming Luo Yangxing and went out. ,

Su Tian told Chongzhen that Luo Yangxing, as the head of the emperor's own army, first took the lead in surrendering Li Zicheng and then the wild boar Pi Dorgon.

Just because Luo Yangxing was the biggest head of Jin Yiwei, his surrender caused a large number of Jin Yiwei to have no psychological burden and willingly surrendered to save their lives.

If it weren't for the lack of time and limited manpower, Chongzhen would definitely kill him alive.

The ministers took Luo Yangxing's persuasion letter tremblingly, and found that it was true!

I was horrified and didn't know what to say. How did Your Majesty know about this kind of thing?

"Add Li Ruolian as the commander of Jinyiwei, and take office immediately!

Seemingly not affected by Luo Yangxing, Chongzhen continued to order.

This Li Ruolian is the second-in-command of Jinyiwei, guarding Chongwenmen.

After being attacked, he killed himself and left his last words: "Death! That's what happened today. Sad! Why should future generations know about it.

The martyrdom of the second-in-command of Jinyiwei saved some face for Jinyiwei's loyalty.

"Where is the king's heart?" Chongzhen was ready to solve the last thing, and let the ministers take heart.

"Chen...here." The eunuch Wang Zhixin was almost scared to pee when he heard Chongzhen call his name.

He walked out tremblingly and knelt down, he didn't know if death was waiting for him.

"Don't be afraid, Aiqing, I know you won't betray the country."

"Now when the country is in crisis, I heard that there is still 100,000 silver in Aiqing's house, I don't know if I would like to donate half of it to reward the generals?

Although this king's heart is greedy, it is the kind that Su Tian said can do things.

Compared with the previous first assistant Wei Zaode, who only donated 400 taels, Zhou Kui, the national leader, only donated 1 tael, and 3,000 taels of the queen were taken away.

This King's Heart gritted his teeth and took out 10,000 taels, which was already considered very good.

Wang Zhixin, who was kneeling there, was startled and confused. Emperor Chongzhen knew how much money his family had? I'm afraid he didn't know the exact number.

But now pledging to listen to the emperor's meaning seems not only to be fine, but also meritorious.

If you don't donate, you will end up like Wei Zaode and Luo Yangxing.

Without hesitation, Wang Zhixin kowtowed: "I...will!

With Wang Zhixin's lessons learned, the latter will be easy to handle.

For the ministers standing on the main hall (of Qian Zhao's), Chongzhen broke the other party's property one by one and asked him to donate half of it.

This is the list that Su Tian gave him, and it is the money that Liu Zongmin tortured after the city was broken.

These officials were frightened to death and dared not not donate.

In response, Chongzhen nodded with a smile on his face and said, "All of you Aiqing are patriotic. As long as you take out the money you promised me, I will not hold you accountable for all the previous things."

"Behind, there are those who didn't come! Li Ruolian!"

Li Ruolian, who had just been promoted, was a little dazed. Hearing Chongzhen calling her name, she shivered in fright: "This minister is here!"

"There are no officials who came to the court today, I ordered you to take people to seize the property and put them all in prison! After the war, they will be released!""

what?

Everyone in the hall was stunned!

And more than half of the officials didn't come, and they all searched their homes?

Too cruel! Is this what the emperor should do?

"Your Majesty, no!"

Fan Jingwen regained some strength at this moment and hurriedly persuaded.

You are crazy!

Other officials also persuaded Chongzhen one after another, and this was a serious matter.

If you do it at this moment, you will have to bear the name of a tyrant in a subjugated country.

If the country is not destroyed, almost all officials will be offended.

Others persuaded him on the grounds that the war was at the head of the war and the military's morale should be stabilized.

For such a large-scale raid, I am afraid that I am digging my own grave.

No madman would do that!

"I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade you gentlemen!" Chongzhen's voice was not loud, but the expression on his face scared these officials away from saying more.

Satisfied results were achieved at the scene, Chongzhen said with a smile:

Don't worry, all the Qing families, the strong aid has arrived, and I am at peace!

Just now, he received a message from Su Tian, ​​and the Daqin troops were assembled, ready to enter and fight.

The time flow of this time and space was slowed down by Su Tian, ​​so Chongzhen had passed 3 hours, and Su Tian and Da Qin had passed 3 days.

The first batch of thoroughbred horses have been shipped to Daqin, allowing the elite riders to get used to it for more than a day.

Hearing Chongzhen say strong aid, the ministers all looked at him blankly.

Where do you think the strong support came from? Is your majesty really crazy?
