Chongzhen cried for a while, and then stood up with the eunuch, asked the queen and Tian Yuan to come in, and knelt in front of the gods of Wanli to salute. Then he choked up and said, "The ancestors have never had such a tragic change in the past three hundred years. Since I have been in power, I have respected the heavens and ruled the ancestors, worked diligently and loved the people, and have never lost their morality. I did not expect that the thieves were so rampant and difficult to control, and the disasters became more and more serious. They were actually lost in Luoyang and King Fu was killed!

The prince died of a thief, for the first time in three hundred years. How can I be worthy of Emperor Shenzong? I have misfortunes in the country, and I should be sad and clear of my faults and pass on the order. From then on, I will withdraw my joy and reduce my meals. Within a hundred days, there is no need to prepare a sauté."

As the name suggests, the music is to stop playing music during meals and reduce the dishes from dozens to more than ten.

Zhou Hou couldn't help but exhort with tears: "The emperor worked hard for the country, and his health was getting worse. I know that the emperor was sad, but the emperor was the king and father of the people of the world. He had to take charge of the vast family business of the Ming Dynasty. How could he do it without eating?"

Chongzhen shook his head and sighed: "I suppress the thieves every year and every day, and I have achieved such a result. I am not a weak king. I am always working hard for the country and striving to govern. Unfortunately, God does not bless me and punish me. I do not eat meat or drink alcohol. I only want to empathize with God and win back the hearts of heaven. You are very unaware of things and do not understand my difficulties!"

As he said that, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, and shouted to the sky: "Great Heaven! Great Heaven! You shouldn't have been born a thief and a thief. Then Li Xianfeng should really be killed. Cao Daban immediately arrested Li Xianfeng back to Beijing and negotiated a crime!"

"I obey the order!"

Cao Huachun responded to the courtesy.

...

The sky gradually became dark. All day long, Chongzhen cried and made a fuss, and had no appetite. No matter how Zhou Hou and Tian Yuan persuaded him, they would never get into trouble. A banquet had already been held in Gaoyou City.

From the homes of Tongzhi, Tongzong, Wei Commander Commander and other officials, a total of 36,530 acres of land were dug out, 148 large, medium and small courtyards, nearly 200 shops, 380 taels of gold, 200,000 taels of silver, nearly 10,000 stones of grain, more than 5,000 livestock, more than 5,000 chickens and ducks, and the rest of the cloth, vehicles, and jewelry are being counted.

It’s indeed a gold belt that robs the family!

In fact, Li Zicheng went to Beijing to torture his salary, which seemed to be understandable in Li Xin's opinion. Sixty or 70 million taels of silver were shining, and he would have to get it even if he had to. But Li Zicheng's problem was not cruel enough first!

Taking money is like killing a parent, either you don’t do it. Don’t be afraid of doing it on the first day of the lunar month. But Li Zicheng has been tortured and released the person. What kind of magical operation is this? Are you waiting for others to take revenge on you? If Li Xin has tortured and paid a salary, he will definitely kill the whole family.

As a result, after the defeat of a stone, Li Zicheng was no longer able to defend Beijing and had to flee in panic and gave Beijing to the Qing Dynasty in vain.

Secondly, military discipline is scattered and control is insufficient!

The torture was first limited to officials, and then the scope was rapidly expanded. From wealthy households to ordinary small households, they were extremely cruel. The torture evolved into a big scourge, but Li Zicheng was helpless. The army was corrupt and deteriorated in just a short period of time, and the rebel army fell into a bandit. The root cause was that it did not make plans for the torture, lack of strong military discipline constraints, which aroused resentment in the city.

Li Xin could not repeat Li Zicheng's mistake. All the officials who were confiscated were killed, and the labor reform of the sidelines ranged from three to five years. Of course, labor reform was only in the name of a grand ceremony. In fact, these people could not survive until the end of labor reform. Apart from girls, women once again used blindfolded their wives to touch their wives. This time, they mainly took care of a group of people who had previously sneaked in.

Although it is extremely cruel, Li Xin is responsible. After all, occupying Gaoyou is not only a military sprint, but also a risk. The real situation is not what he said is vulnerable to the court, but is always surrounded by the court, making him walk on thin ice, and all factors must be completely controlled, and any potential unstable must be eliminated.

This does not mean that Gaoyou's official general is bad and black, and his men are bright and bright. This does not exist. People are not absolutely good or bad. If they relax their control a little, their soldiers will not be much better than the crusade army. Similarly, Gaoyou's official general may not be able to be used by him, but he does not have the qualifications to tolerate mistakes. If there is a slight mistake, he will be doomed.

He could only use the most cruel means of repression.

Although he only occupied a small Gaoyouzhou city, Li Xin's burden was very heavy. He had to appoint officials, handle affairs, and the distribution of fields, and the resettlement of tenants in the farm management. In particular, military training was the top priority. According to his estimate, Shi Kefa may come within ten days.

However, even though he was so busy, Li Xin still arranged a banquet and the whole army had a good meal. After laughing with the generals for a while, Li Xin returned to the third hall with his worries. The Hongniang, Zhou Han and his daughter, and Gao Guiying and his daughter set up a table by themselves.

The atmosphere was naturally not as warm as the outside, but the five women sat at the same table and chuckled slightly, which was very interesting. However, as Li Xin came back, the atmosphere immediately became wrong. The Hongmao and Zhou Han looked like they wanted to speak but stopped, while Li Lanzhi was afraid and hated Li Xin, and she shook her whole body, and the chicken legs that were stuffed into her mouth could not be stopped.

"Why? I'm not welcome? Then I'll leave!"

When Li Xin saw this stance, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Young Master Li!"

The Hongniang hurriedly called out: "Young Master Li, don't misunderstand it, but... Sister Guiying just talked about you and saw you coming, so... it's not natural."

"Oh? Have you said bad things about me?"

Li Xin turned around and asked.

"this……"

The Hongniang looked at Gao Guiying in embarrassment.

Gao Guiying gritted her teeth: "Mr. Li, for these days, thanks to your care for my mother and daughter, I am very grateful. You promised to let us go once you settle down. Now it's time to fulfill your promise?"

"When did I say I would let you and my mother go? Sister Guiying, don't put the shit basin on me!"

Li Xin asked back.

"Mr. Li, you clearly agreed in Zhu Lianshan, otherwise Uncle Liu would be willing to let you go?"

Li Lanzhi couldn't bear it anymore.

Li Xin did not answer, his eyes flashed. Have you ever said this? If he had said it, he would definitely not deny it, but it seemed that he hadn't said it.

The Hongniang said nervously: "Mr. Li, I said it."

“Oh~~”

Li Xin nodded: "Matchmaker's words are equivalent to mine. Since the matchmaker said it, I should let Sister Guiying and Lanzhi go, but the mother and mother have nowhere to go. Matchmaker, do you bear to let her mother and daughter wander in troubled times?"

Gao Guiying snorted: "Young Master Li is worried. As long as you let us go, I will take Lanzhi to find herself... the King of Break!"

Originally, Gao Guiying wanted to say that she was self-made, but she didn't know what her mentality was. Perhaps she thought of Li Xin's words that day, or perhaps she didn't dare to touch Li Xin's bad intentions, and finally changed her mouth.

"yes!"

The Hongmao 10,000 wanted to send Gao Guiying away, and said, "The King of Chuang has taken Luoyang, and it is not too far from Gaoyou. Sister Guiying has good skills, so there should be no problem. At worst, I can send some people to escort it."
