Chapter 158 Showdown (End)

"At the same time, the country is in chaos every year, and the whole country is in turmoil. The country is in danger of being buried, and the living beings are in a hurry. In this critical survival and demise, I hope that all the ministers, workers and nobles can help the king and assist the country, and help fight and suppress bandits..."

Emperor Chongzhen did not directly explain the matter of moving south, but instead asked for money first, and then seized the servants of each household, especially many noble families.

All of these people started their careers in military positions. Even though the masters of the family had long since passed down for many generations, they had long since degenerated from the first generation of Xiong Fushu to the little Jingba who could not run away or bite, but who did not have a group of servants to protect the hospital?

These people gathered together, and there were no three or five thousand people, but two or three thousand strong men who could dance with swords and guns were still no problem.

In today's capital, this is a very objective force.

More importantly, this can reduce the uncertainty in the city, right?

The civilian army has already been in a big way. Who dares to say that there is no spy from Li Zicheng in the capital? All the people present are loyal to the Ming Dynasty?

When they heard the emperor ask for money again, the ministers below did not react much. Everyone was still immersed in the shock caused by the instability of Juyongguan. The civil and military officials and nobles and nobles present, countless people were heartbroken when they heard "Kaba". The last hope was really destroyed.

The thief army could actually attack the city of Yanjing. To be honest, although these bastards were not very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they all did not want the Ming Dynasty to fall from the bottom of their hearts.

Before, Li Zicheng was unstoppable, but many people in the capital always disagreed.

There are two kinds of trust, one is Zheng Zhilong who is rushing to the capital.

——The evaluation of the government and the opposition in the capital during this period really makes him feel like Napoleon returned to Paris when he fought against Elba Island and returned to Paris, and the dynasty was restored.

First, someone called Zheng Zhilong a traitor, which was a bit too much. Zheng Zhilong has been "loyal" so far.

When the news broke by Tai Plaintiff came to the capital, some people criticized him for not being able to do anything, which was a bold move.

But when Zhou Yuji died in Wuning Pass in battle, public opinion began to change. The court and the people began to say that although he was loyal, there was something wrong with this behavior.

At this point, this public opinion has changed from negative effects to absolutely neutrality.

Then the news that Jiang Yan of Datong surrendered to Li Zicheng came to the capital. This turned from neutrality to Zheng Zhilong, saying that he had the wisdom to prepare for the future and could not be a famous general in the world.

Li Zicheng went to Datong and then to Xuanfu. Along the way, the Ming army surrendered. Everyone in the capital began to feel nervous and began to flatter Zheng Zhilong, even not being ashamed.

By the time the news that Li Zicheng was approaching Juyong Pass came, Zheng Zhilong was already the urgent hope for the civil and military nobles in the capital!

The second is Wu Sangui outside the pass. The latter is not far from the capital. Even though Wu Xiang spoke loudly, Wu Sangui's father, brother and other family are all in the capital. He is filial to the nine sides to save his father and break through. Does Wu Sangui, who is the bravest army, really dare not come?

Everyone in the capital, including Emperor Chongzhen, had high expectations for Wu Sangui's Guanning Army. And they all believed that Wu Sangui's army would definitely be able to repel Li Zicheng's once it moved.

Because the combat power of the Guanning Army is super awesome in their hearts. It is far from something that thieves can resist.

It is these two factors that support the civil and military nobles who are stingy and want to be stingy towards Emperor Chongzhen.

But now, the two have not yet left Shanhaiguan, but the other has come, but they say that Juyongguan is unstable. If Juyongguan is really unstable, Li Bids can kill outside the city in a blink of an eye. As the emperor said just now, how can the Zheng army, which is as big as Yanjing City, be as big as thousands of people, defend it?

But if Yanjing City really can't be defended, what about them?

What about these nobles who were with the country? Do they surrender?

"My minister Liu Wenbing is willing to offer 100,000 taels of silver, and twenty family members will help Your Majesty to suppress the rebellion and save the country." Liu Wenbing, the Marquis of Xinle, stepped forward first. He was the cousin of Emperor Chongzhen, and his relatives were his aunt.

He is also a famous pauper among the nobles.

Although he was prominent in his family and even his brother Liu Wenyao was the left governor, the second Liu was somewhat shameless and was even more obedient. If he sold the entire Liu family, could he have a hundred thousand taels?

Does the emperor still have to be gimmicks at this juncture?

The ministers were still laughing in their hearts. Emperor Chongzhen, who heard the leader, applauded the Queen of Xinle to destroy his family and relieve the difficulties, and was loyal to the country. He was worthy of being a hero who was at the same time as the country.

"Your Majesty is wrong, I am ashamed of you." Xinlehou hurriedly clasped his fists and said humbly, and then he said what he really wanted to say. "I am humble from a humble background, and I can have wealth and honor today, and I will be very grateful."

This is true. Since the Ming Dynasty, few of the owners in the harem of the Ming Dynasty were from wealthy families. The ancestors of the Liu family were from Haizhou and later moved to Hejian Mansion. They were selected into the East Palace of the Prince and became the lady of the Guangzong Zhu Changluo (a kind of low-level concubine). In the 38th year of Wanli, the fifth son Zhu Youjian, who was still the crown prince at that time, was Emperor Chongzhen. However, Liu Shunn did not please Zhu Changluo. When Emperor Chongzhen was five years old, he died for unknown reasons because of a hysterical attack by Zhu Changluo.

Emperor Chongzhen only specially sent people to find the Liu family after he ascended the throne.

"A saying is very disrespectful. Our great ministers are different from those of the civil and military ministers in the court. Isn't it a joke to have a divorce with the country? It's been more than ten years since the Li thief's rebellion. How could there be no confidant around you? It's really the turn of Li thief to gain power. If the civil and military generals surrender, there will be a way out. Li thief always wants people to govern the world. But will there be less heroes like the ministers? "

"Besides, those people are all a group of poor men from mud-legged backgrounds. If they really want to seize the capital, they will enter the most wise land in the world. Li thief will be able to give the throne and reward the entire army and the meritorious officials. But the national treasury and the treasury are empty. What should Li thief use to reward hundreds of thousands of thieves and generals under his command? Isn't it that the wealth in the capital?"

"And the civil officials in the capital can work hard for Li thieves. If Li Zicheng still has three-point emperor statues, he will only kill a few people who hate them to the bone, and all the rest will appease them. Then the disaster will only be the useless nobles of ministers and other ministers, the middle officials in the palace, and the rich gentry in the city..."

Liu Wenbing and Gong Yonggu were the two most trusted nobles of Emperor Chongzhen. Before ringing the Jingyang Bell, they summoned the two into the palace and had already made up their minds. Just as many nobles thought, Liu Wenbing didn't have 100,000 taels of silver in his hand, but this was just an excuse.

What he really offered was not a hundred thousand taels of silver, but his previous words.

The effect must not be underestimated. As soon as Liu Wenbing finished speaking, all the nobles and civil and military officials became turbulent.

The former was so well-known by Huang Zhongda Lu. Liu Wenbing revealed the most worrying thing that the nobles were the nobles! What they feared most was that they did not even have the qualifications to surrender and rebel!

All civil and military officials were dissatisfied with it. What did Xinlehou say mean? Is it still human?
