"It seems like you don't know anything."

As soon as Liu Heng saw Chongzhen's appearance, he knew that Chongzhen was not unaware of official corruption.

"There were some corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, don't you?" Chongzhen asked immediately, not wanting to be underestimated by Liu Heng.

Liu Heng pursed his lips and nodded, saying: "The Tiger Character Flag cannot avoid this kind of thing, but the Tiger Character Flag can conduct self-examination to ensure that only if someone reaches out, the Tiger Character Flag will punish them severely."

Chongzhen didn't answer.

Can he severely punish corrupt officials in Ming Dynasty? When he thought of this question, he immediately had the answer in his mind, because he knew that he could not punish them severely, and he was not even sure how many of them were corrupt officials.

"Take him down!" Liu Heng realized that Chongzhen, aside from his status as an emperor, was just an ordinary person, perhaps with a little pride of a young man.

Pan Yi waved to the soldiers in the palace.

Immediately some soldiers stepped forward, preparing to take Chongzhen away.

"Kill me! I will never give you the Zen position. You will always be a rebel. Everyone in the world can oppose you and overthrow you." Chongzhen said, facing Liu Heng directly.

Liu Heng smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "The Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was not the emperor given to him by Meng Yuan's Zen throne."

After speaking, he waved his hand, indicating that the person should be left alone.

"Every rebel will be punished. Today you are lucky enough to occupy the capital. I believe that our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will retake this place in the future." Chongzhen shouted loudly.

Pan Yi in the palace didn't want to see Chongzhen talking nonsense, so he winked at the soldiers controlling Chongzhen.

Soon Chongzhen was taken out from the Qianqing Palace.

"Lord, there is not much use in keeping such a person. Do you want me to go down and execute him?" Pan Yi asked.

It is normal for people of the new dynasty to kill the royal family and even the emperor of the previous dynasty. The only difference is the issue of killing more and less. Of course, there are also those who are shameless, who use the banner of revenge for the previous dynasty, but at the same time The new dynasty killed everyone who had anything to do with the royal family in the previous dynasty.

"Keep it, Ming Dynasty is still strong in the south, and he is more useful alive than dead." Liu Heng said.

Pan Yi responded: "Listen to my lord, then keep him. He is also lucky. He met such a kind person like you, my lord. If it had been anyone else, he would have died long ago."

"It seems that the capital is still full of imperial influence. It has only been a long time since you have been in the capital, and you already know how to flatter me, haha." Liu Heng joked.

Pan Yi scratched the back of his head with his hands in embarrassment.

Liu Heng was not teasing Pan Yi. He turned to look at Yang Yuan and said, "Is the crown prince still in the hands of your Foreign Intelligence Agency?"

"The person is at Wang Zijin's place and is under his personal custody for the time being." Yang Yuan said.

Liu Heng said: "Since the person is fine, let's reunite the family and return the person to Chongzhen and his queen."

"Yes, I will make arrangements when I get back." Yang Yuan responded.

Pan Yi asked from the side: "Will Zhu Youjian and his family still stay in Kunning Palace? Or should they change places?"

After hearing this, Liu Heng thought for a while and said: "The palace has other arrangements. Didn't he live in Prince Xin's Mansion before? Let him go back and live there. All the other vassal princes who fled to the capital have been arranged to live in the Tenth Prince's Mansion. It’s not like I’m harsh on them.”

The Tiger Character Banner once drove many Ming vassal kings out of the territory of the Tiger Character Banner. However, these vassal kings lost their fiefdoms and the savings accumulated by their ancestors were confiscated by the Tiger Character Banner. Many sects and vassals could only come to the capital to seek help from Chongzhen.

However, Chongzhen did not have the money to resettle them, and he could not recover the former fiefdoms of these vassal kings, so he threw all these vassal kings into the Tenth Prince's Mansion, usually just to ensure that they would not die of hunger.

As the tiger-character banner army entered the city, these vassal kings were naturally still in the Tenth Prince's Mansion.

It's not that they don't want to escape, but they have no money and no place to escape. Instead of escaping and dying outside, it's better to stay in the Tenth Prince's Mansion.

"How to arrange them? Do we need to arrange some people to take care of them?" Pan Yi asked.

Liu Heng glanced at him and said, "If you have a lot of money, you can use it to take care of them. Tiger Character Flag doesn't have the money to support a bunch of freeloaders."

"Well, my subordinates can't afford to support them." Pan Yi shook his head hurriedly.

There are so many vassals and princes in the Ten Princes' Palace, and his little salary cannot support so many people even if it is ten times more.

Liu Heng thought for a while and said: "The question you raised is also a problem. If we don't give these people a way to make a living, they will starve to death in the Tenth Prince's Mansion sooner or later. I think so, let them sweep the streets and let those who are fat The lord of the vassal exercises his body and can support himself. Anyway, the streets need to be cleaned from time to time."

"Does Zhu Youjian arrange it this way?" Pan Yi asked.

Liu Heng said: "He is the emperor, and he is considered the patriarch of the clan. As the clan leader, he should take the lead. Remember to mark the areas later and divide the cleaning areas for the clans of the Ming Dynasty, so as to avoid unclear responsibilities and rights at the end."

"Yes, I will make arrangements when I get back." Pan Yi said.

Liu Heng waved his hand towards him and said, "Don't worry about this matter. Zhao Yutu will come to the capital in two days. From now on, all such matters will be left to him."

"Yes." Pan Yi replied.

On the other side, after Chongzhen was brought back to Kunning Palace, he found that Wang Chengen had been sent over first.

"How is your health, Daban? Is there anything wrong?" Chongzhen asked with concern.

In the Qianqing Palace, he saw with his own eyes that Wang Chengen was hit with a firecracker and vomited blood.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. My bones are still strong. Those traitors can't hurt me, but you, Your Majesty. After your slave was taken away, they didn't make things difficult for you, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen said with concern.

Chongzhen shook his head and sighed softly: "Apart from mocking me a few times, I didn't feel embarrassed at all. I just don't know when these traitors plan to attack me."

In his heart, he had no hope of being alive.

If he hadn't had the courage to commit suicide, he would have taken his own life early.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. If those traitors want to touch you, Your Majesty, they must step over your slaves." Wang Chengen said angrily.

Chongzhen reached out and patted Wang Chengen gently, and said gratefully: "I know that you are loyal, Daban, and I am afraid that you are the only one in the entire capital who still cares about me."

"This servant failed to take good care of you, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen said with tears in his eyes.

The two of them were talking in the courtyard, and the queen who had been waiting in the house walked out quickly, looked at Chongzhen and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, those thieves didn't do anything to you, right?"

"Don't worry, Queen, I'm fine." Chongzhen patted his body twice to express that he had not suffered any abuse.

Seeing this, Queen Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still worried: "I don't know how these thieves plan to treat Your Majesty and my concubines. I just hope that Xun'er is fine."

"Don't worry, with Zhou Aiqing and Wen Aiqing here, our Xinger will be fine." Chongzhen comforted Queen Zhou, and at the same time he also had confidence in Zhou Yanru.
