"My lord, the royal guards have found the three former Ming princes.”
Liu Yu had just ordered the construction of the trading market when Chen Miao found him and reported.
"Former Ming Prince?"
Liu Yu was stunned for a moment before he recalled that these three princes should be Crown Prince Zhu Ciyao, Prince Ding Zhu Cijiong, and Prince Yong Zhu Cizhao.
"Bring them here." Liu Yu thought about it and said.
"Yes, my lord."
Regarding the three princes of Great Ming, Liu Yu really had a headache.
To be honest, if it were the princes of the Qing Dynasty, he would not have a headache. He could just send them to their families for a reunion.
But the problem was that he really couldn't do this to the prince of Great Ming.
Ming Dynasty 276, he had a backbone.
"No marriage alliance, no reparations, no ceding of land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guarding the gates, the King dying for the country.”
Regardless of how absurd it was for the Zhu family to become the emperor in the Ming Dynasty, there was not a single spineless person.
However, the 16th generation of emperors of the Ming Dynasty insisted on this ancestral precept to the end. Zhu Youjian died in Mei Mountain in the end, but he did not escape to Jiangnan or surrender. He truly achieved the goal of 'the emperor guards the country gate, the king dies, and the country dies.'
Therefore, even if the Zhu family's prince changed dynasties, he should not die.
Liu Yu wouldn't kill them, even if it was because of what their ancestors had done for China.
After a while, Zhu Ci Xin and the other two were brought to the Imperial Extreme Palace.
The three of them had thick black circles and their faces were slightly pale. Zhu Cixi was slightly better off, but the remaining Yong Prince and Ding Prince were still trembling slightly.
"Sit down, don't be afraid." Liu Yu said with a smile.
Under Zhu Ci Xin's lead, the three of them sat down.
"Is there anything you want to say to me?”Liu Yu asked with a smile.
After Zhu Ci Xin heard this, he immediately stood up and said,""Please bury my Imperial Father and Mother quickly and don't disturb the ancestral mausoleum.”
"Don't be so nervous. Your father and mother will be buried tomorrow. Those ministers who died with your father will also receive a lavish burial.
I still admire your Zhu family. I won't touch your ancestral mausoleum either. You don't have to worry about this.
Other than that, do you have anything else to say?”Liu Yu continued to ask.
"Those ministers who surrender should be killed. These are disloyal and unjust people.”Zhu Ci Xin continued.
"Your news is outdated. Those ministers who didn't accompany your father on his journey and wanted to surrender have their families confiscated and exterminated by me.
Do you know that when your father raised food and salary to relieve the disaster and resist the Manchu Dynasty, he did not raise much money in total?
And today, he had seized over 63 million taels of silver from those ministers, and there were dozens of carriages of rare treasures.”
After Zhu Ci Xin heard this, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists."A treacherous official has harmed the country.”
Liu Yu looked at Zhu Ci Xin's expression and shook his head helplessly.
This was the fate of not being an emperor. Emperor Nanming Zhu You Song had been an emperor for eight months.
As for Zhu Ci Xin, not to mention the emperor, he died in the end without knowing why.
"Alright, go and accompany your Imperial Father and Imperial Mother. They are going to be buried tomorrow.”
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he had the imperial guards bring them to Zhu Youjian's mourning hall.
As for the three of them, Liu Yu would not kill them. Instead, he would bestow them with a lifetime of wealth.
As for those who wanted to cause trouble, it would be fine if they did not contact these three. Once they contacted these three, they would be walking into a trap.
It could be said that the three of them were used by Liu Yu to fish.
As for whether he could catch any big fish, that was hard to say.
However, this did not matter. He did not believe that he could not handle such a small matter with his cheat.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
At this time, the news from Beijing had also spread to other places.
Many people would not be surprised if Li Zicheng captured Beijing.
If Zhu Youjian defended Beijing and Da Ming defeated Li Zicheng, although many people would be surprised, it was not unacceptable.
But now, Li Zicheng had been defeated, Zhu Youjian had died, and Beijing had been taken over by an unknown force. This was hard to accept.
What the hell was going on? Where did the power that took over Beijing come from?
After receiving the news from Beijing, the most confused person was none other than Wu Sangui from Shanhaiguan.
Wu Sangui panicked.
What should I do now?
Outside the pass was the Manchu Eight Banners Army, inside the pass was Li Zicheng's army, and Beijing City had been occupied by an unknown force.
Wu Sangui felt a headache coming on. He had no idea what he was going to do next.
Return to the capital to help the king?
The emperor was already dead.
Defend and wait for reinforcements?
Defending was fine, but what about reinforcements?
Who knew if reinforcements or enemies would appear next?
Shanhai Pass relied on the rear to supply the rations. It was not a problem for a short period of time, but as time went on, Shanhai Pass would not be able to hold on.
Surrender to the Qing Dynasty?
At the thought of this, Wu Sangui gritted his teeth, took out a pen and paper, and began to write.
