    "Heaven is merciful, Your Highness Dong Wang. My master does not want to see the lives of the people destroyed and the people suffering, so I am willing to give up the throne. As long as you choose an auspicious day, your Highness can enter the capital and ascend the throne, and the country of the Ming Dynasty will soon fall into your hands. Our family  Congratulations in advance to King Dong, your filial son and virtuous grandson for generations to come!" Wang Chengen squeezed out every word through his teeth. If he hadn't been helpless, he would have wanted to pounce on Zhang Ke and fight with his life.  Before he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty actually sat on chairs and listened to the imperial edict being read out by themselves. They were so treasonous that they deserved to be struck by thunder!  Zhang Ke did not take Wang Chengen's anger seriously. Instead, he took the imperial edict, looked at it carefully, and shook his head.  "Why, His Highness Dongwang, you can kill people with no more than a nod, and you are deeply favored by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Do you still want to put His Majesty to death? If so, you are not afraid of the public opinion in the world!" "Eunuch, I am alone.  The king respects your loyalty and courage. Among eunuchs, you are rare if not unique." Zhang Ke put the imperial edict in his hand and said lightly: "Zhu Youjian only said to abdicate and hand over the Yuxi throne.  King Gu, it¡¯s a good thing that he can understand the situation, but there are still a few things that he hasn¡¯t explained clearly.¡± Wang Chengen suppressed his anger and asked: ¡°What are the things?¡± ¡°The first is what to do after the emperor abdicates.  , where should they live, how should they be provided, should they become ordinary people, or should they be imprisoned until death? Secondly, in addition to the emperor, the Zhu family also has vassal kings and a large number of nobles all over the country. What should they do?  How to deal with it, whether the family property should be confiscated. Thirdly, how should the tomb of the Ming Dynasty emperor be maintained, and whether sacrifices should be carried out in the future. " Zhang Ke was also surprised when he heard that Chongzhen wanted to take the throne.  In my impression, the Ming Dynasty was like nothing else, but its bones were extremely hard. The emperor guarded the country, and the king died in the country.  It¡¯s now.  Even if Chongzhen knew he was defeated, he would still fight to the death. How could he hand over the throne honestly!  Although he hesitated in his heart, Zhang Ke felt that it was a good thing to have a peaceful handover.  However, it is not easy to handle it properly. China's dynasty changes have always been the most bloody and violent.  Except for Zhao Kuangyin¡¯s Chenqiao Mutiny.  They were all killed so that the fields were littered with corpses and blood flowed thousands of miles away.  After counting, the most peaceful one was Yuan Datou's method of forcing the Manchus to abdicate.  Of course, Zhang Ke would not be so mean as to give preferential treatment to the Ming royal family, but now there are many overseas interests, and he is not as sure as before to kill them all.  As long as they agree, they might as well be exiled to Australia.  Anyway, the first batch of colonists in the West were criminals, and China can follow suit.  "My lord, please take my words back. As long as Zhu Youjian is sincere, I can let him live." "No!" As soon as Zhang Ke finished speaking, Qian Qianyi jumped out and said sternly:  "Your Majesty, Zhu Youjian secretly harmed the late emperor. His crime cannot be punished. How can we condone him? How can we explain to the late emperor?" "That's right. Since ancient times, he has become a king and defeated a bandit. Zhu Youjian has made people angry and resentful. If he still has a little sense of shame,  "You should commit suicide and die for your country," Ruan Dacheng said angrily, going straight to death.  Wang Chengen glanced at these two people.  Suddenly his pupils shrank into a bright light, and he stamped his feet and beat his chest.  He cursed loudly: "Shameless people! What grudge or hatred does the Ming Emperor have against you? Fortunately, you are still the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. How could he be so heartless and crazy that he would take out your hearts to see if they are black? Throw them to the dogs.  If you don¡¯t eat, I think you are disgusting!¡± Wang Chengen kept yelling, but Qian Qianyi didn¡¯t show any anger, but sneered lightly.  Go ahead and scold me, damn eunuch, we are all scolded for King Dong. The harder you scold, the more benefits you will get in the future.  It seemed that Zhang Ke also saw their plan. He waved his hands lightly and said, "Take the prince and his father-in-law down for a short rest. Write my opinions in a letter and send it to Zhu Youjian." "As ordered." His men took Wang Chengen away.  , wrote the letter and asked him to take it back to the capital.  The country is governed by etiquette. Since Zhang Ke's letter was sent to the capital, it immediately caused huge waves.  The tide came one after another, almost drowning everyone.  Especially Zhou Tingru, who is still sitting in the position of chief assistant, is simply sitting on the crater of a volcano, and the boiling temperature under his butt is about to burn him and turn him into a piece of barbecue.  Wang Chengen didn¡¯t understand Zhang Ke¡¯s three suggestions, but someone did. They wanted to completely cleanse the Ming Dynasty.  Not only the royal family, but also the civil and military personnel of the entire dynasty must be completely replaced and undergo a super reshuffle.  Only in this way can we make way for Zhang Ke's subordinates. So many people are waiting to become Conglong heroes!  As for Chongzhen¡¯s proposal, he voluntarily abdicated and handed the throne to Zhang Ke, while Zhang Ke wanted to retain the Ming Dynasty¡¯s system and even treat his subjects preferentially.  On the contrary, it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive.   At this point, the two sides are like two trains about to collide.  Zhou Tingru and other ministers stood sadly in the middle of the train. They didn't know when they would be run over by the train and turned into meat patties on the ground. The feeling of waiting to die was so uncomfortable that it made people crazy.  From this moment on, the two sides kept sending envoys to exchange opinions. At first, they took the face into consideration and did not directly make it clear. In the end, they directly made it clear.  After discussions with his subordinates, Zhang Ke finally finalized his opinion, and all members of the Ming royal family, including the vassal kings from various places, moved overseas.  One hundred thousand taels of silver are provided every year for a total of five years. After five years, the royal family members can support themselves. After three generations, they are allowed to return to the Ming Dynasty and become ordinary people.  All nobles were dismissed, their property was confiscated, and each person was given only thirty acres of land to grow and eat themselves.  As for all civil servants, regardless of age, they must pass an examination. Only those who pass the exam can continue to serve as officials, and they must start from the bottom.  Zhang Ke, who has always been murderous, changed his usual approach. He didn't say "kill", but his ruthlessness was revealed everywhere.  The nobles and nobles who were once on the clouds of the Nine Sky and did not know the sufferings of the world suddenly fell into the dust. They had to go to distant seas, farm, and work hard for a mouthful of food. A bead of sweat broke into eight petals. That kind of  The gap is no different from falling into the eighteenth level of hell.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  Facing the powerful Zhang Ke, Lin Yuji, the Minister of Rites representing the imperial court, could only tear up the terms they had drawn up.  These include conferring the title of King of Anle on Chongzhen, choosing the best candidates for civil and military service in the imperial court, gradually reducing the salary of nobles, and achieving a peaceful transition.  From Lin Yuji's point of view, this is already a pretty good condition. He can conquer the world right away. If he can't rule the world right away, he can't deny him any face!  At the very least, he must be a Song Taizong. He can release his military power over a glass of wine, but he must give a large sum of money so that everyone can live comfortably.  "Unfortunately, Zhang Ke just doesn't want to give them face.  He doesn¡¯t want to pretend to be a Ming emperor without the surname Zhu. As for whether it will cause a backlash, Zhang Ke is not worried at all.  The strong strength gave him full confidence.  "If Chongzhen is smart, he should listen to my suggestion. This can save his life and the Zhu family, so that he will not be killed like a river of blood like the kings who have subjugated their country in the past. At the same time, everyone must also be on guard.  Prevent him from jumping over the wall and making a last-ditch attack. " Zhang Ke said cautiously: "Intensify the efforts to send spies to the city to understand Chongzhen's every move, and there must be no omissions. " Time passed, and the court was delayed.  Unwilling to reply, Zhang Ke became impatient and cut off the supply of water and coal first, then vegetables and cloth. For a time, prices in the capital skyrocketed, and the people complained and filled the sky.  When the officials of Shuntian Prefecture went to disperse the rioting people, they were beaten back by the people.  His reason was quite strong: "Your master has already gone away, do you still want to pretend to be a master?" The people had had enough for a long time, and then the middle- and lower-level officials were also tempted. Didn't they let them die?  They can still continue to take exams to become officials. Although they are reluctant to start from the bottom, their self-confidence is much stronger than that of ordinary white men.  Managing such a large country is still inseparable from them.  The Ming Dynasty is like a castle in the desert. The foundation is collapsing rapidly, leaving only one layer of gorgeous buildings that may collapse and disintegrate at any time.  "My dear, is the Ming Dynasty about to end in my hands?" With tears in his eyes, Wei Guogong Xu Hongji kowtowed to the ground and said sadly and angrily: "Your Majesty, Zhang Ke is a ruthless traitor. He said that your Majesty should go overseas. Who can  I don¡¯t know that it¡¯s a smog-filled place, and I will risk my life to fight Zhang Ke¡¯s traitor to the death!¡± Chongzhen was aroused, straightened his back, and asked with concern!  : "My dear, is there any way to save yourself?"
