Ma Jixiang went to the scene with satisfaction and packed up and entered Zhu Youlang's study. Zhu Youlang looked up and saw Ma Jixiang who had not seen for more than half a month. He looked at him in confusion. Ma Jixiang smiled and said, "It is the superiors who have arranged for you to serve you."

Zhu Youlang shook his head slightly, pointed to the ink bottle and pen on the table, and said, "Where can I use you?"

Ma Jixiang was used to being shameless in front of Zhu Youlang, and was not annoyed. He placed the pot full of medicine on a small furnace and said, "I heard that the superiors were not healthy and the subordinates couldn't sleep day and night. After asking for a long time, the superiors agreed to serve you."

Zhu Youlang spread his hands: "Life is not life, death is not death. What is there to serve? If you had not had a wish, you would have ended your life long ago, so as not to be scared all day long, and you would not know that the butcher's knife fell down and your body and head were different. Since you were sick, it would be God's punishment. Let it go naturally and die."

"He is here, and he has food and drink. He eats tea and books on weekdays. How can he say that life is not life, and death is not death?" Ma Jixiang said enviously. Seeing Zhu Youlang shaking his head persistently, he could only use his ultimate move.

Ma Jixiang has been with Yongli for a long time. Whether he is a treacherous or a powerful minister, the two have been together. Ma Jixiang knows him very well. He knows that there are only three things that can arouse his interest. One is his own ending, the second is his family's life and death, and the third is the news of the Manchurian pseudo-emperor Fulin.

The first two are well known to everyone, and the last one is Ma Jixiang's own "tips". It is not difficult to understand. Zhu Youlang was originally the descendant of Prince Gui. If there was no rebellion in the late Ming Dynasty, he would have to live happily in his fiefdom for the rest of his life. He first moved because of the thieves and chaos. This book was nothing. Later, he was forced to be the emperor. He fled everywhere in the southwest to save his life. His wife and children were separated. He was often used as puppets for others. In the final analysis, it was still the invasion of Manchuria. Therefore, Ma Jixiang gradually discovered that in this management office, Zhu Youlang seemed to be interested in inquiring about the news of the Manchurian puppet emperor Fulin. When he heard that he was unlucky, he was extremely happy. At this moment, he could only use this trick.

"Ascending the throne, a few days ago, the Tartar Chiefs almost drowned in the dung pile, do you know?" Ma Jixiang asked casually.

As soon as these words came out, a hint of despair suddenly lit up on Zhu Youlang's face, and a light flashed in his eyes, and he became interested: "Oh, there is still such a thing?"

As he said that, Zhu Youlang put down his pen and looked like the crowd watching the fun.

Ma Jixiang poured a bowl of medicine soup and placed it in front of Zhu Youlang, saying, "I will drink this medicine from the superiors, and the ministers will report it slowly."

The bitter decoction was warm and warm enough for Zhu Youlang to drink it all in one gulp. Ma Jixiang quickly put the small plate in front of him. Zhu Youlang took a few pieces of rock candy and stuffed it into his mouth to cover the bitter taste, but he didn't notice that the remaining rock candy was quietly taken away by Ma Jixiang.

"Tell me about the Tatar Chief quickly." Zhu Youlang's face was bitter, but the soul of the gossip was burning and he did not lose interest in the bitter medicine at all.

Ma Jixiang brought another cup of hot water and placed it in front of Zhu Youlang, saying: "The superiors also know that except for the houses in this city, the ones you have stationed in, have been taken away by the military and civilians of the Xin Dynasty. Even the bricks of the city wall have been dismantled and empty. It is said that they were taken to build Qingdao fortress more than ten years ago. Therefore, the prisoners stranded in the city built tents and dug shacks to live. About seven or eight days ago, the Tatar chiefs, Sukshaha and other seven or eight people moved from the tent near the well to the base of the north wall, saying that it was getting cold. When the sun came out, it was warm. The gendarmes did not care. They set up tents to live close to the base of the city wall. In fact, the chief of the prisoner of war management office did not know where the city wall they chose was newly built after the rain was washed away in summer. These guys just wanted to dig holes and escape!"

"The dog, sheep, barbarians, are just these tricks of carvings and insects. What happened later? Could it be that they escaped and went into the village cesspool and were caught?" Zhu Youlang said disdainfully.

"Where can I really let them run away?" Ma Jixiang said with a smile: "The Chief Ma who came to take care of you on a daily basis has received this news long ago. He ordered people to build a layer of old wall bricks on the outside of the city wall where the Tartars lived, and then built a large pool with bricks and stones. All the feces and urine collected by the prisoners of war management were poured in, sprinkled a layer of lime, and then a lid was added with thatch and branches to prevent the Tartars and others from smelling the odor.

As a result, Sukshaha and a group of Manchu Tartars were digging on the city wall. They just dug up the edge of the manure and urine pool. They dug the wall bricks. They thought they had reached the end, so they called the Tatars chiefs and their group to get into the hole, thinking of digging out the outer wall bricks at night and sneaking away. Unexpectedly, these guys smashed the wall bricks with wooden sticks. The pile of shit and urine that had been broken for several days rushed into the hole like a flood that broke the dam. The holes were only able to move back and forth, and even their bodies were not easy to twist. Seven or eight people were flooded by shit and urine. Even the Tatars chiefs were in the back, and they ate shit and urine full of their mouths and stomachs, and they were almost choked to death. In the past few days, the Tatars chiefs' faces were sallow and water and rice did not enter, so they would be worse than death."

"Hahaha!" Zhu Youlang laughed happily. He knew that Li Mingxun had ordered not to abuse people like him, but the Manchu Tartars and his group were asking for their own faults, but they could not blame others.

After laughing, Zhu Youlang said, "You can help me organize the books here. I want to see how the Tartars look like now!"

After saying that, Zhu Youlang got up and put on his robe, took off the telescope hanging on the hanger, greeted him and had to follow him, and went to the city wall and observed carefully. Ma Jixiang, who had helped Zhu Youlang untied his knot, would not add icing on the cake. He peeked at the door for a while and found that there was no one. He checked in Zhu Youlang's study. One-third of the tea in the tea jar was wrapped, and a new candle was replaced with a new candle. A few half candles were packed and half candles were put away. They were all inconspicuous gadgets. However, in the management office where supplies were short, these were hard currency. It was because of the opportunity to obtain these that Ma Jixiang could be like a fish in the water among prisoners of war.

However, Ma Jixiang was not just staring at these objects. After he packed it up, he took off the newspapers on the newspaper shelves one by one and browsed it quickly. The entire prisoner-of-war management office was cut off from the outside. In addition to indirectly attacking the military police, he could only use this method. The outside news was more effective than anything, especially the policy news about prisoners of war and their families.

Generally, when Ma Jixiang seizes the opportunity, he will browse the title first, and then choose meaningful reading after reading it. However, after reading the latest newspaper, Ma Jixiang did not take his eyes away again because the front page headline was the edict of the new emperor ascended the throne. After reading it, Ma Jixiang only felt dizzy in his head, staggered back two steps, and the pain touched the shelf on the back of his head, which made him wake up.

Ma Jixiang hurried out of the study and took a leave of the officer on duty with all his worries. The officers here were still familiar with Ma Jixiang and knew that he was here to help his superiors solve problems. According to past experience, the effect was very good, so he did not make things difficult for him. He let him go back to the prisoner of war in the city. Ma Jixiang felt more and more happy as he walked. When he entered the city gate, he ran faster.

"Do you know, the new emperor has ascended the throne!" Seeing a prisoner of war, regardless of whether he knew or not, Ma Jixiang hugged him and announced the news he had just known. He could no longer help but catch someone and told whom. At the end, he ran and shouted loudly: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, and the new emperor has ascended the throne in the capital!"

Ma Jixiang's voice attracted people from the tent. Fulin and his gang also heard Ma Jixiang's shout. When they heard it, a Manchu general spat: "Bah, the cheap Nikan, are you crazy? What's the matter with him when the Li thief of the East Fan who was called emperor? Looking at his dog-like appearance, those who don't know would think he was crowned king!"

He was sarcastic when he suddenly felt a pain in his arms. Sukshaha held his arm tightly, his face full of excitement, and shouted: "You heard that Li Mingxun has been promoted to emperor, and Li Mingxun has been promoted to emperor!"

As he said that, Sukshaha actually burst into tears and jumped into tears. The general asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Idiot, you idiot! Li Mingxun was called emperor, but we were still locked up here. Isn't this saying that I will not be killed for a while?" Su Keshaha cursed.

At this moment, this news has spread throughout Jiaozhou Tucheng. More than 2,000 people almost knew the news and understood the meaning behind it. As Su Keshaha said, Li Mingxun has been praised as emperor and has not yet killed people like him, so that will he be killed in a short time.

After the Battle of the Three Emperors, all the prisoners of war were worried. When they were gathered in Jiaozhou, they all had a mass trap here because they wanted to kill all the prisoners. Later, the main force of the Eastern Front went north and advanced east to restore the capital and the Central Plains. These high-level prisoners of war thought that as long as the capital was restored, they would kill them to build Jingguan. Then they heard that Li Mingxun went out of the frontier. At that time, everyone thought that Li Mingxun wanted to capture all the Qing dynasties and then kill them with them. When they heard that the Mongols were just joining the alliance and the Manchu high-ranking officials fled to the north of the desert, they thought that their end was coming.

Then, the news that Li Mingxun entered Shaanxi to worship the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum came. The prisoners of war could not sleep all day and night. Whenever there was any movement in the guards, they were frightened and trembled. They were afraid that they would be taken to Shaanxi and beheaded to worship the Yellow Emperor. This anxiety continued until Li Mingxun returned to the capital. However, the prisoners of war also knew that the end of the world was approaching. Just when Li Mingxun became emperor, they would kill all the people in the prisoner's office and show their merits to the world. Their heads fell to the ground, which would also be a sign of the end of the war. This idea led to the pessimistic news of the entire prisoner's office waiting for death, and also led to the occurrence of Sukshaha and others digging a hole to escape, and almost drowned by shit and urine.

But everything no longer exists. Li Mingxun has already proclaimed himself emperor. Another landmark time point for killing all prisoners of war has disappeared. Perhaps he will not be killed. Perhaps, as the military police said, he will first interrogate, convict, confess, and then deal with it.

Capital.

The ceremony of imperial enthronement ended, the empire was established, and the core of the empire began to move to Nanjing. After all, it was the legal temporary capital. It was more efficient to establish various military and political institutions in the core areas of economic prosperity. The emperor and his commanded institutions continued to stay in the north to deal with military issues and vassal affairs.

The internal affairs of the empire did not need to be worried about. The cabinet and the General Executive Yuan could handle it. The rule of law construction did not want the emperor Li Mingxun to intervene. The war would not stop. All institutions need to be adjusted in and naturally they should speed up their southward movement.

"The issue of today's State Council is the problem of handling war criminals. Now the empire has been completely on track and the large-scale war has basically ended. Considering all aspects, it is time to set the tone for these war criminals." Prime Minister Ah Hai presided over the meeting as usual, and everyone received more reports.

Li Dingguo looked at the report and his frown relaxed: "Haha, it's ridiculous. The Tartars are also a hero. They almost drowned in the dung pile. If they really die like this, they may die with their eyes open."

"State Conference, don't make these jokes and talk about serious matters." Ah Hai did not give Li Dingguo face and knocked on the table.

With Lin Cheng's death, no one in charge of the Senate. Li Mingxun appointed Li Dingguo as the president of the Senate, and obtained the consent of a group of people. This was considered an open promotion and secret decline, and seized Li Dingguo's military power.

"According to me, all the people are killed. Oh, Lord Judge, these people are all punished and deserve to be killed." Li Dingguo closed the report, looked at Supreme Justice He Changming, and asked.

He Changming nodded slightly: "It can be said that after all, they are all high-ranking officials of the pseudo-Ming and the Qing Dynasty, and they are the leaders and important executors of the war. If you are all deceased, there will be no wrong injustice. The question now is whether you need to find out the entire case and punish all crimes."

Li Dingguo didn't understand these things and frowned again. In addition to the emperor, the cabinet also had representatives from the Senate and the House of Assembly. Li Mingxun looked around for a week, and it was obvious that many people didn't know what He Changming meant.

Li Mingxun smiled and said, "Judge He, please explain in detail."

He Changming nodded: "According to the current criminal law of the empire, those who intentionally kill people without surrendering themselves, confessing guilt or repentance will be sentenced to death. For example, if one person may kill three people, but the court and the Public Security Bureau only have evidence that he killed one person, it is enough to sentence him to the death penalty immediately. Then whether the other two people are related to him, can they still be investigated, Prince Rong, what do you think?"

Li Dingguo said without thinking: "Of course we have to investigate. After all, the other two people cannot die inexplicably. Moreover, the other two people also have family members, so they have to give them an explanation, at least to let the victim be buried in peace."

He Changming nodded: "Yes, in the era of national creation, there is no need to investigate, because there was not enough human resources at that time. If there was time, it would be better to investigate the case of another murderer. However, with the construction of the rule of law in our country, the principle of finding out the whole case and punishing the whole crime has been determined. Just like these prisoners of war, in fact, according to the standards set by the courts in wartime, they are actually war criminals. Even if they don't need to investigate other crimes, they will die. Therefore, even if they are killed, none of them are wronged. Now we have to see whether to figure out the crimes that everyone commits, and whether to declare all his guilt in the verdict."
