Chapter 21 (20) The landlord’s family has no surplus food

However, after Emperor Chongzhen received the news that Ningwu Pass had been breached and Zhou Yuji had been killed, he hastily sent an order to order soldiers from all walks of life to enter King Jingqin as soon as possible. At this time, the closest to the capital is Liu Zeqing's department, so logically speaking, it should be Liu Zeqing who arrived at the capital first. The fact is indeed like this, within three to five days after the order was issued, I received a call from Liu Zeqing's department: Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I have been feeling unwell recently, and I am recuperating at home. When I recover, I will definitely enter Beijing under the imperial edict. Thank you for your kindness.

After seeing Liu Zeqing's report, Chong Zhen almost went crazy on the spot. The reason why Chongzhen didn't go crazy was because the other troops led by Tang Tong rushed over immediately after receiving the imperial edict.With such a team at this juncture, the pressure in Chongzhen's heart suddenly eased, and he immediately offered a banquet to comfort Tang Tong. Tang Tong was very honored to eat the imperial dishes and drink the imperial wine, and he couldn't help but burst out with pride, saying: Don't worry, Your Majesty, forgive Li Zicheng, although there are millions of people, why should you be afraid?Wait until I take off his head for His Majesty, Your Majesty, please feel free!

Chongzhen Joy: General Tang really has a heart of loyalty and patriotism. Come here, reward General Tang with four thousand... four hundred... forty taels of silver. Tang Tong was dumbfounded, and stared blankly at Chongzhen, so this loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is only worth forty taels of silver? This is too cheap, right? Tang Tong held back his anger and said, "Your Majesty, I thank the lord for your grace, but my soldiers also hope to be showered with the mighty grace of the emperor." Soldier... Chongzhen was so cruel, I lost my money, I can't pass, can't I still do it?Come, soldiers under Tang Tong's department, each reward...five coins.

It's over, each soldier's life is only sold for five renminbi, which is a bit too low. Even Chongzhen himself knew that this price was indeed a bit too low. In fact, it's not that Chongzhen has no money. In his private treasury, there are countless gold and silver, more than thirty-five million taels.But he was reluctant to take it out, how difficult it is to make some money, and these days, the landlord's family has no surplus food. Rewarding such a small amount of money was obviously to tease Tang Tong, and he also knew that Tang Tong must have ideas in his heart, so Chong Zhen thought about whether he should send Tang Tong a political commissar, or send an eunuch over to watch Tang Tong. , so that he can work for me with peace of mind.

In fact, it was Chongzhen's character, who made things difficult for others everywhere, and deliberately made trouble for everyone, which made Da Mingxia fall apart.But the country is easy to change, Emperor Chongzhen has no special hobbies in his life, he just likes to make things difficult for others, no one can do anything about him. The newly-appointed eunuch reported to the Tang Tong Department, and soon came back, and took back a book written by Kang Tong and wrote: Qizuo Your Majesty, I won't play with you anymore, goodbye. In grief and indignation, Tang Tong pulled up a team and left.

At this juncture, Chongzhen forced King Qin's army to betray him and leave. It can be seen how difficult this person is to get along with. The Ming Dynasty deserved such a strange emperor. Tang Tong ran away, and Emperor Chongzhen was sitting there crying, when another report came up: In the Nanjing Daming Xiaoling Mausoleum, during this period of time, every night, there was a heart-piercing cry. The sound was so miserable, so embarrassing, and it was heard for dozens of miles. There was nothing but horror, the soldiers in charge of guarding the cemetery were frightened by the crying, their legs and feet went numb, and they fled away.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty, crying in the ground. Why is Zhu Yuanzhang crying? Zhu Yuanzhang cried because this brother, Emperor Chongzhen, is really bad. It's not that he has no ability, and his ability is not bad, but his character in dealing with the world is too perverted. According to history books, he is suspicious. what? He just has an obvious anti-social personality. No matter who he meets, he will subconsciously push the other party into the fire pit intentionally or unintentionally. Chongzhen was polite. In grief, Chong Zhen wiped away his tears silently, and sent Wu Xiang to see him.

When Wu Xiang came, Chongzhen immediately asked: Old man Wu, if you transfer your son back from Shanhaiguan, can you deal with Li Zicheng? Wu Xiang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't be ridiculous. Li Zicheng is just a bunch of grassroots bandits who don't know how to do it. How can he be my son's opponent?"As long as my son comes, then Li Zicheng will definitely be wiped out. Chongzhen paused for a moment: Pass the order down, we don't want Shanhaiguan, we will leave it to the Qing soldiers, and transfer Wu Sangui, the general soldier of the three passes, into the king of Jingqin!
