Li Zicheng stood on the high platform and saw that there were only more than 20 former Ming officials came to mourn Chongzhen and cried. He couldn't help but sigh: "Chongzhen is really not a bad person, but he is too incompetent! There were more than 1,300 Beijing officials who surrendered to my Dashun, but only more than 20 people came! It's really unreasonable that the Ming Dynasty would not perish!"

Anyway, at this time, Li Zicheng had prepared more than 5,000 pairs of sticks for the nobles in the court, and then he would be done by throwing all the unfaithful and unrighteous people to Liu Zongmin.

The prince Zhu Cilang saw all this, and there were very few Ming officials who came, and he was sad and angry: The Ming Dynasty has raised such a group of dogs with heart and heart for nearly three hundred years! If this palace can ascend the throne successfully in Nanjing, it will definitely kill all these dog officials! The seeds of hatred sprouted in Zhu Cilang's heart and gradually grew into a towering tree. Zhu Cilang, who was originally kind-hearted, began to transform into a demon.

Seeing that his prince and two younger brothers were right in front of him, but could not recognize each other, Princess Kunxing was extremely sad. When the coffin was opened, her princely brother personally put a crown on her father's crown and put on a mysterious robe. Princess Kunxing fainted again.

After burying Chongzhen, Li Zicheng turned his head and shouted: "Come on, take Duke Cheng up!"

After a while, Zhu Chunchen, who was tied up in large numbers, was taken to Li Zicheng by two soldiers of the rebel army.

"Your Majesty, I am not guilty, why did you tie me up?" Zhu Chunchen knelt in front of Li Zicheng and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"This is the will of the late emperor, please see it yourself!" Li Zicheng threw a suicide note from Chongzhen in front of Zhu Chunchen.

Zhu Chunchen lay on the ground and picked up Emperor Chongzhen's suicide note, raised his head and felt as if he was depressed when he saw Zhu Cilang standing behind Li Zicheng. At this time, he knew that he had done it. Originally, Chongzhen left the suicide note and asked Zhu Chunchen to escort the crown prince from the capital. Who knew that Zhu Chunchen would keep His Highness from the crown prince instead, and he surrendered to Li Zicheng in a blink of an eye.

You should know that Chongzhen trusted Zhu Chunchen very much, and all the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp were handed over to Zhu Chunchen to control. Although the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp were very bad, it was still okay to protect the prince from leaving the capital. Who knew that this guy sold both Chongzhen and the prince instead.

"What's the point of keeping such an unfaithful person? Come on, push this guy out and kill him!" Li Zicheng shouted.

The sword and axe driver ignored Zhu Chunchen's plea and dragged Zhu Chunchen out to kill him like he was dragging a dead dog.

Seeing Zhu Chunchen beheaded, Zhu Cilang felt indescribable pleasure. It was this thief who was disrespectful to resist the order and turned him out and his two younger brothers. He held heavy troops but surrendered to Li Zicheng. If it weren't for this guy, he would have been to Nanjing ascended the throne and would not have fallen into the hands of the thief. He lived a nervous life every day.

Chongzhen did not build a tomb for himself during his lifetime, so he was buried in the tomb of Concubine Tian. After Chongzhen was buried, Li Zicheng officially announced his ascension to the throne, with the country's name Dashun and the year's name Yongchang.

After officially ascending the throne as emperor, Li Zicheng issued a series of orders: he dismissed most of the eunuchs and palace maids, disbanded the East Factory, and retained the Jinyiwei. Luo Yangxing still served as the left governor of the Left Army Governor's Office, and was also the commander of the Jinyiwei. He was promoted to Gao Wencai to the commander of the Beizhenfu Department of the Jinyiwei, Zhao Peng was the Qianhuhu, and also the supervisor of the Beijing Camp Firearms Bureau.

In fact, most of the palace maids who were dismissed were assigned to the contributors of the Shun Army as their daughters-in-law. As for the eunuchs who were dismissed from the East Factory, it was entirely because Li Zicheng was disgusted by the eunuchs.

The eunuchs were originally eunuchs in the Imperial Palace, and they should be the most loyal to the emperor. However, when the Shun Army was at the city, except for Wang Chengen and the more than ten young eunuchs who died in the battle to defend the city, the other eunuchs surrendered, and several eunuchs opened the city gate and took the initiative to welcome the King of Break. What's more, one of the eunuchs betrayed the prince and the two princes with Zhu Chunchen. That was Zhu Chunchen who kept the three princes away. Zhu Cixuan and his brothers had to go to join a eunuch. Who knew that the eunuch sold the three brothers to Li Zicheng in a blink of an eye.

Most eunuchs have no higher moral integrity than civil servants and gentry. They can be said to be each other.

The nobles who should have been with the country were not very honest. In addition to Zhu Chunchen, who had just been beheaded, the nobles such as the Jiading Bo Zhou Kui, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei Luo Yangxing and other nobles also surrendered to Li Zicheng.

Emperor Chongzhen was also fooled by officials all his life. The last words he left behind were that all the ministers were mistaken for me, and all civil officials could be killed!

So Li Zicheng planned to happily avenge Chongzhen with a stick.

Of course, Chongzhen's own incompetence is indelible, and he does not need to have the ability of Taizu. As long as he can be like his grandfather who has not attended court for thirty years, or his brother who only focuses on carpenter work, even if he is a Zhao Ji who does not care about court affairs, the Ming Dynasty will not be over soon. However, Chongzhen is a person who only has the ability of a prefect but sits in the position of emperor, so the more things he does, the more mistakes he makes.

Next, Li Zicheng issued another imperial edict, which made people take Zhou Kui down and go to prison, claiming to avenge Chongzhen. The reason was that when Chongzhen asked for donation, Zhou Kui, as the father-in-law, actually donated only 3,000 taels of silver, and the silver was paid out of the 5,000 taels of silver given to him by his daughter, and his daughter's 5,000 taels of silver was deducted by two thousand taels! In addition, Zhou Kui, as a grandfather, refused to recognize him and blocked the prince at the door, causing the prince to be reported by the eunuch and fell into Li Zicheng's hands.

Li Zicheng issued an order to take down the Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen and incarnate him. The reason was that Li Guozhen held heavy troops and actually opened the city to surrender, and then pretended to mourn Chongzhen for mourning. Li Zicheng asked him why he didn't die like Wang Chengen? This guy actually said that Li Zicheng came into being and that he would serve the king for the rest of his life.

Since he was unfaithful and unrighteous, Li Zicheng was not polite to him.

Zhu Chunchen, Duke Chengguo, was beheaded, and Zhou Kui, the Jiading Body Zhou Kui and the Xiangcheng Body Li Guozhen were both imprisoned. Seeing the fate of these noble groups, seeing the eunuchs being dismissed home, and the East Factory was also disbanded, the civil servants and gentry groups cheered and thought that the nobles and eunuchs deserved it. The civil servants and eunuchs who were originally restrained were only their civil servants. This is a great thing. Wouldn't Dashun reuse their civil servants in the future?

But they never expected that Li Zicheng had prepared a stick for them, and soon after, Liu Zongmin would take special care of them. No one could escape anyway, so they lined up one by one, and everyone would have the chance to pick up the stick.

After reading the suicide note and edict left by Chongzhen, Li Zicheng knew that when Chongzhen cried and asked for donation of money, there was no good thing for these nobles and civil servants. Chongzhen urgently needed military wages, and all the civil and military officials were crying for poverty. In the end, Chongzhen only received 200,000 taels of silver. But who didn't know that these imperial courts were all rich and could rival the country?

If others don’t say it, Chen Yan, the loyal minister who blocked Chongzhen’s southward journey, heard that Li Zicheng needed military pay, so he took the initiative to donate 40,000 taels of silver. This means that this guy’s property is definitely more than 40,000 taels, which must be more than 200,000 taels that Chongzhen had obtained after crying for a long time. The imperial court’s nobles were more than 200,000 taels, so why are you polite? Just let Liu Zongmin let go and do it.

At this time, Wei Zaode, the top leader, had already been cut off his ten fingers. Liu Zongmin coerced 50,000 taels of silver from him. Li Zicheng would never believe that a cabinet chief, only 50,000 taels of wealth, so he asked Liu Zongmin to increase his salary.

However, Wei Zaode only took only four years from being the top scorer to becoming the chief assistant. Although his family's property is far more than 50,000 taels, the rest are all land, shops, etc., and some of the money is scattered in the hands of other family members, so naturally he could not get more money. Wei Zaode, who was anxious to be tortured by the torture pay, shamelessly told Liu Zongmin that he had a daughter, who was only 28 years old and was as beautiful as a flower, and was willing to give it to the general as a concubine.
