"Get out! Get out of here!"

After calming down for a long time, Chongzhen was finally able to speak again. He almost couldn't breathe.

The ministers immediately resigned, not daring to face the emperor's wrath again.

After sitting there for a long time, Chongzhen actually said to the eunuch: "Call Wang Diaoding."

Chongzhen didn't know who to talk to. After much deliberation, he only had the Wang Diaoding sent by Zhao Thief.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, adjusts the tripod and bows to your Majesty!" Wang transferred the tripod and lay prone on the ground.

Chongzhen sneered and said: "Your lord has already occupied Jiangnan, have you ever thought about going back to assist?"

Wang Tiaoding said quickly: "I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and your Majesty is my lord."

Chongzhen looked up at the top of the palace and asked leisurely: "Then how does Zhao Han employ people? Why doesn't he have a group of wine bags and rice bags under him? He forcibly divided the fields in the south and killed so many gentry. Why didn't anyone raise an army to rebel against him?"

Wang Tiaoding replied: "It's just the people's will."

"Can dividing fields and killing people win the hearts of the people?" Chongzhen asked.

Wang Tiaoding replied: "If you only lose the heart of one family in dividing the land, you can win the hearts of thousands of families. The gentry is the people, and the head of Guizhou is also the people. The gentry exploits the people and relies on two things. One is the support of the government; the other is the government's support.

Raise evil slaves. As long as the land is allocated to the common people, the common people will naturally join the army enthusiastically, kill the evil slaves first, and then take over the government."

Chongzhen shook his head and said: "I am the emperor. I cannot kill people indiscriminately, nor can I divide the land indiscriminately."

Wang Tiaoding was silent.

Chongzhen lost his mind and said: "I am not the king of a subjugated country, but my subordinates are all ministers of a subjugated country."

Wang Tiaoding continued to remain silent.

Chongzhen sighed: "This spring, I asked all the governments in the south of the Yangtze River to recruit troops. What kind of soldiers did they recruit? How long has it been, and Nanjing is gone? Didn't you say that the Zhao thieves will not take Jiangnan?"

Wang Tiaoding replied: "Your Majesty, the Zhao thieves did not want to take Jiangnan, but the Zhejiang scholars were forced to rebel. They organized a series of rebellions to capture the prefectures and counties. They took the initiative to dedicate the city to the Zhao thieves."

"The scholars rebelled, seized the city and dedicated it to the Zhao thieves?" Chongzhen asked in surprise.

"Yes," Wang Tiaoding replied, "Zhejiang suffered from successive years of disasters, the imperial taxation became heavier and heavier, and the poor scholars had no means of livelihood, so they rebelled."

"Hahahahaha," Chongzhen laughed sadly, "The scholars of the Ming Dynasty actually rebelled and joined the bandits. I am really good at being an emperor."

Wang Diaoding hesitated for a moment and suddenly said: "Zhao Thief sent someone to send a message."

"Say!" Chongzhen shouted.

Wang Diaoding knelt on the ground and said: "Zhao thief has sent word that if he is a bandit or a Tatar slave, and one day the army comes to Beijing, he can send troops to escort the royal family south. He...he will definitely not treat him badly. He said that he respects Taizu extremely.

, willing to protect and take in Taizu’s descendants.”

Chongzhen sneered: "He wants to establish a new emperor and then abdicate."

Wang Tiaoding shook his head and said: "He said he would not establish a new emperor. He does not believe in abdication. Your Majesty can decide for himself whether he is willing to let the royal family go south."

Chongzhen was silent.
