"What, missing?"

A moment later, Dashun's temporary Prime Minister's Mansion.

Li Yan was shocked when he learned that Chong Zheng's body was missing.

After Chongzheng hanged himself, his body changed with resentment, and he knew that it had changed. He also reported that Emperor Shun wanted to deal with Chongzheng's body as soon as possible. However, Emperor Shun suddenly lost his target since he captured the capital, and he drank heavily every day and ignored political affairs.

As Prime Minister Dashun, Li Yan was under great pressure.

Dali was defeated too quickly, and Dashun, which was founded in a hurry, was not ready to accept such a large area of ​​land.

Although all over the country surrendered, none of the surrendered officials and generals are trustworthy and may rebel at any time.

There was also a Liaodong general who had no intention of surrendering at this time. The secret envoy sent here asked for a vassal, not only demanding a vassal, but also requiring a grain supply of five million taels of silver and six million stones per year. Otherwise, he would turn to Di State, lead Di army into the pass, and defeat the Dashun Fish in the death.

The Liaodong Generals have managed the mountains and seas and Liaodong for nearly a hundred years, with lush trees and deep roots. Even the Dali Dynasty has actually lost control of them. If they really want to fight, the Dashun Army and they are afraid that no one can get it. After all, they are the most elite force in Dali, especially Cao Wenzhao.

If they really risked the great power of the world and led the Di army into the pass, it would be like a catastrophe for Dashun.

According to Li Yan's idea, the Southern Expedition Army was conquering Jiangnan at this time. It is not advisable to start a war on both sides. No matter what, we must first stabilize the Liaodong generals.

If you want to divide the seal, give it; if you want money, give it; if you want food, give it.

Liu Zongmin had tortured 70 million silver and tens of millions of s of military rations in the capital, and he could afford it.

It will be much easier to solve the Liaodong generals when Dashun forces Jiangnan to stabilize his position.

At least, there is no risk of flash crashes.

However, what Li Yan did not expect was that Emperor Shun's suspicion about him had reached an unreasonable level.

A few days ago, he reported the brief report to Emperor Shun, but Emperor Shun pointed at his nose and scolded him: "What do you mean by having an affair with the generals who did not surrender in the previous dynasty? Are you trying to rebel?"

Li Yan was so angry that he wanted to throw his seal and dismiss his official position, and he left with his sleeves.

Since the founding of the Dashun Dynasty, his political disagreement with Emperor Shun has reached a point of openness.

Emperor Shun was used to being wild and had not yet turned around. He was about to be the lord of the world.

What he had to do was no longer lead the soldiers and generals to rush around, grab money and grain, and eat meat in big mouthfuls, drink wine in big bowls, and don't care about anything else.

It is how to govern a country, how to suppress the endless greed of its subordinates, how to compromise with the outside world, and how to balance various contradictions and prevent the situation from collapsing.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. If you don’t have to be literate, you won’t be able to turn off the fire.

If Emperor Shun ignored the government affairs, it was only one of them. Some things he did secretly could be maintained.

The most troublesome thing is Liu Zongmin, the general of the Shun Army. This person is qualified and powerful, has strong military power, and is resolute. Not to mention the prime minister, even Emperor Shun, he may not give much face.

This is the problem within the Dashun Army.

In summary: The Dashun Army was a bulk regime pieced together by various rebel armies. It was in a favorable position and dispersed without profit. It was far from being integrated.

The biggest military leader among them is Liu Zongmin, a powerful general.

His name was the general of Emperor Shun, but in fact he had his own troops. His soldiers and generals only knew "General Liu" and did not know Emperor Shun. Many military leaders were afraid of being annexed by Emperor Shun, so they had secretly surrendered to Liu Zongmin, and Liu Zongmin's strength was above Emperor Shun.

Sometimes Li Yan had to doubt whether Emperor Shun was so mean because he was powerless to the generals under his command, so he simply didn't want to care about anything?

Emperor Shun had no queen, and he was also powerless in his luck. After his death, the country belonged to others. He was drunk today.

Back to the present, Chong Zheng's body disappeared, which is a problem.

But Chongzheng is dead, so it's just a problem.

The bigger problem is that Liu Zongmin has already imprisoned all the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty who were imprisoned in Zhao Prison, and the princes and nobles who surrendered or did not surrender, were almost all exploited.

He must be looking for reasons to expand the scope of torture so as to attack the wealthy families and the people in the city. In fact, his subordinates have already started doing this.

The indulgent rebels were already like bandits and robbers in the city.

If he plundered the whole city with the excuse of searching for Chongzheng's escaped corpse, there would probably be a wave of rebellion in the midst of fear in the world.

You know, the capital city took the initiative to open the city and surrender and did not resist.

The endless scraping of money was scraped, but the people's hearts were lost.

"Block the news immediately!" Li Yan pondered for a moment and immediately made up his mind, and then ordered: "Find a body and put on the dragon robe in front of the court, burn it on the spot, and say it was Chongzheng's body."

"But sir, the guards know that Chongzheng's body disappeared, and everyone knows it. If His Majesty knows it..." hesitated and reminded.

"Chongzheng's body escaped, and the guards were unlucky. I wiped their butts for them. Anyone with a little brain won't gossip anymore. This is feasible."

Li Yan's face was determined and paused. He said helplessly: "As for Emperor Shun... this is not bad."

This is the reason why he and Emperor Shun were in conflict. Emperor Shun ignored the government affairs, and Li Yan bypassed Emperor Shun to deal with many things on his own.

If you get too many times, you will naturally attract suspicion.

The reason why he was still Prime Minister Dashun was because his decision to bypass Emperor Shun was basically correct.

It can even be said that if there were no Li Yan, Emperor Shun might have fled east and west in Shaanxi and Gansu.

"Yes, sir."

I took the order from both sides and hurried down to make arrangements.

Li Yan pondered for a while, then found another subordinate and asked, "Have Zhu Ci found it?"

Zhu Ci, the prince of the previous dynasty.

Chongzheng hangs himself in Coal Mountain and Empress Zhou commits suicide, but Zhu Ci and the Crown Princess are missing.

In order to prevent Liu Zongmin from raiding, Li Yan lied to the outside world that Zhu Ci and the Crown Princess had been burned to the palace fire, and then secretly stepped up their search.

But strangely, Zhu Ci and the Crown Princess disappeared without a trace.

It was like being really burned to death in a palace fire.

The subordinate shook his head and said, "Sir, no trace of Zhu Ci was found. His brothers are still searching for it. The four gates of the capital are closed. I think he should still be in the city, maybe he is hiding in some official's home."

"He must be found. If he is allowed to escape to Jiangnan, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"yes!"
