When Qingfeng, Yikuang, Wenxiang, Li Tangjie and others left the Taiping Army camp, they seemed to be in a dream, saying that they were coming to negotiate, but the Taiping Army had no intention of negotiation at all. Instead, the Western King's words were like giving an ultimatum. ￡∝

After walking out of the Western King's tent, Li Tangjie muttered angrily: "A group of traitors, occasionally the army is arrogant, and they will be arrogant..." Before he finished speaking, Qingfeng beat him up and pointed to the Taiping Army in the Nanyuan camp and said: "I have the capital to be arrogant!"

As soon as they entered the camp, everyone had their own thoughts and did not pay much attention. At this moment, with Qingfeng's guidance, everyone noticed that in the entire Nanyuan camp, teams of Taiping Army were driving in the whole army, with a solemn appearance and excellent firearms. The Taiping Army soldiers were all strong and strong. What's even more rare is that they all exuded a strong murderous aura on their bodies, and they were veterans who had been fighting for the rest of their lives.

Various types of cannons did not avoid them. Just under their noses, they put mules and horses on one after another, and pulled them out of the camp. At the same time, there were continuous new Taiping Army troops coming to the east, and countless carriages carrying various supplies such as food, clothing, etc. When the ox carts arrived, it seemed that the Taiping Army's troops were constantly coming towards the capital.

After seeing this, Li Tangjie felt very sad. He was a firm pro-war faction, but after seeing such elite troops and firearms of the Taiping Army, he also felt agitation. Qingfeng said with a smile: "These long hairs are full of wings. Last year, 40,000 people defeated more than 20,000 British, French and foreigners in Jintang. It is said that there were tens of thousands of people just to capture foreigners. You can see clearly that there are still many foreigners in this camp who are helping them with their work."

Li Tangjie followed Qingfeng's guidance. Sure enough, he saw many foreigners wearing Chinese costumes helping the Taiping Army transport supplies and supplies. It seems that the Taiping Army really defeated the British, French and foreign soldiers. He thought that the more than 20,000 foreign soldiers last year were extremely brave. Senggelinqin and others led more than 100,000 troops and horses were not the opponents of the foreign soldiers. Will the remaining Eight Banners master soldiers in the capital be the opponents of the Taiping Army who defeated the foreign soldiers?

Li Tangjie, who obviously felt that he was not confident, was not swearing, but just muttering: "I'm really unwilling to accept it. Why did a group of rioters from remote places in Guangxi force my Qing Dynasty to such an extent?"

Qingfeng laughed and said, "Mr. Li, the Qing Dynasty is still full of people. We are not so distressed yet. Why are you in a hurry? Let's go back soon. I'm addicted to smoking. I have to go back and take a few more mouthfuls before reporting to the two palaces." After that, he left first. Only Li Tangjie was left with blushing and his face fell behind.

The group of people returned to the capital safely under the escort of Taiping soldiers. The Taiping cavalry that escorted them even went straight to the south gate, and then walked around the city with great power. The Qing army on the city stopped, and none of them dared to show up or fired a shot or fire an arrow. In this way, the Taiping army was still watching them return after raising their power. Seeing this scene, Li Tangjie smiled bitterly and murmured to himself: "It seems that the winner is really a matter of victory or defeat. The soldiers have no desire to fight, and the Qing Dynasty is destroyed!"

After returning to the capital, several people changed their clothes and went into the palace to report their lives. Qingfeng and others took the time to take a few mouthfuls of smoke to enjoy themselves. After returning to the palace, several people in the Ganqing Palace met the Queen Mother and a group of civil and military officials who were still waiting for news.

After hearing the reply from Qingfeng and others, the ministers were in an uproar and scolded Changmao's fake Western King Wujun and Wu father, traitor, etc. Finally, Xingzhen asked what to do, but they became quiet one by one.

In the royal family of the Qing court, Prince Gong, Su Shun and others had already died, and Mian Yu and others who were old and polite, turned against the court. The important minister of Qingtian, Seng Gelinqin, was sentenced to death. Even Prince Chun Yihuan, who was a little bit stiff, did not know why. Only cowardly people such as Qingfeng, Yikuang, Zaiquan, etc. were there. Seeing that everyone was not talking, Qingfeng and others began to advocate the surrender again.

Yi Kuang said loudly: "Empress Dowager, all the ministers and workers, now that the country has gone, it is fortunate that it is more than safe, and it is difficult to last long. Now the Taiping army has been besieging the capital city in large numbers. The Taiping army outside Guancheng has 50,000 troops. With the rebel forces of Yuan Jiasan and other rebels, there are no less than 100,000 troops. The soldiers in our army have no intention of fighting and are only guarding the city walls. However, the capital is now short of money and food, the price of rice and ten thousand gold, the morale of the army and the people are not in me, and it is really difficult to defend for a long time. If we can integrate Manchu and Han, abdicate and give up the country, it seems that we might as well do business together. If we break up due to stubbornness, the Manchus will be burdened by our family."

As soon as this was said, many Manchus in the hall were already crying, but Han Censor Liang Taisu and others came forward to accuse Yi Kuang of corrupt and injuring his ancestors and ancestors. Our Qing Dynasty had been in trouble for more than 200 years and he would be punished for the crime of corruption and crime. Qingfeng, Yi Kuang and others immediately retorted and asked if these Han Censors could have a better solution?

The quarrel started again for a while, and what was surprising was that most Han officials actually scolded the Manchus who wanted to surrender and betray their ancestors, which was so inconspicuous that they were whose ancestors?

"Enough!" After the Queen Mother Cixi scolded, the hall gradually became quiet. Xingzhen's eyes were filled with tears, and hugged the little emperor Zaichun who was stunned by the fright, crying and said, "It has come to this point, and it is useless to argue anymore. I am grateful to the hardships of the people in the world for the future, and the late emperor only left this little blood. I don't want to destroy the way for the people in the world and the late emperor because of my stubborn opinion. I decided to agree to Taiping's request!"

As soon as this said, everyone seemed to sigh of relief. The Chinese people had such good face. Even if the dynasty changed, they would show their loyalty and unyielding appearance. At this moment, the empress dowager had already spoken, and the big rocks in his heart fell. The hall followed by a sound of sorrow and bitterness, and some Han ministers knelt down and kowtowed, begging the empress dowager to take back his fate. With the sincere feelings, it was sad. Seeing so many loyal Han ministers protecting the country, it was really pitiful. Unfortunately, if you say that you would take these people to the battlefield with swords and guns, it might be another scene.

At that time, the Empress Dowager Cixi issued an order, ordering Qingfeng and Yikuang to go to the Taiping Army to discuss surrender again, demanding that the Taiping Army treat the Qing Dynasty preferentially and stop killing people, etc., to put forward eight conditions in total. After Qingfeng and the other two received the order, they immediately left the palace and rushed to the Taiping Army camp without stopping. The job was done very neatly and without any delay.

In the Taiping Army camp, the two were still received by the Western King of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After seeing the eight surrender requirements brought by the two, the Western King said with a smile: "Preferential treatment of the Qing Dynasty and treat Manchu well. These two are just the main theme. How to treat it well? How to treat it well? My King seems that after the Qing royal family abdicated, they could be confined to a title that could be granted a reign of the Marquis. The other concubines, palace maids, eunuchs, etc. in the palace, I can't afford to support so many concubines, palace maids, eunuchs, etc., so I can only say that I paid some travel expenses to dismiss each of them home. I can only say that I would give national treatment to the people. Whether to do farming or other business in the future depends on their own efforts, the Manchus should support themselves. Under my rule, the Eight Banners soldiers can choose some elite people to fill the army, and the rest of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people who smoke opium will be sent to become civilians and will not be in the army."

Qingfeng and the others looked at each other and said hesitantly: "His Royal Highness, how do we, the royal family, arrange it?"

The King of Westerners looked at the two of them, a dark smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "When the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, you, the people of the people, plundered many former Ming royal families. I originally wanted to do this, but I thought that you were voluntarily surrendering this time, so let's do it. A royal family like you who have made contributions to the cause of surrender can be awarded the title of earl, and the original property in the family can be preserved, but the rest of the royal families will be punished according to the law. Of course, those who are guilty will not let go, and those who are innocent will also donate their money to come out and offer it!"

When Qingfeng and the others heard this, they burst into cold sweat on their foreheads, and they hesitated and did not dare to agree. The Western King sneered: "I am in charge of the Kingdom of Heaven. If you have merits, you should reward me. If you have ever been punished, the royal families in the capital have no merits in our Kingdom of Heaven. Why can you still enjoy the wealth and ointment of the people? I will not hurt their lives, but it is already a lenient treatment for the confiscation of property! But you don't have to make things difficult for these royal ministers. If they can take the initiative to serve the Kingdom of Heaven in the future, I will still reward them. If you make great contributions, you can consider repaying the confiscated property!"

After hearing this, the two of them breathed a little relieved and thought about it for a long time and agreed to the Western King's disposal plan. Then the Western King said again: "Since the royal family handled this way, in Articles 3 and 4, the wealth and property of the civil and military clans must be changed. The rest of the civil and military ministers also handled this way. I can continue to be appointed by the king. Those who have corrupt and persecuted the people will be dealt with according to the law as long as someone sues."

Even the royal family had to be cleaned, so all officials could not escape. Qingfeng and the other two dared not raise any objections. They followed the Western King: "Fifth and sixth articles are about the issue of whether Manchus stay or not. This is also easy to deal with. Manchus are placed on the spot in various places. I just said that Manchus can be given national rights, but they have to make a living. Anyone who committed crimes before would generally be dealt with according to the law."

Qingfeng and the others risked their reputation of burying the Qing Dynasty to force the palace to protect themselves. They were just to protect themselves. Now the Western King has granted the position of Earl and has also protected their wealth. The two are satisfied, and they will not care about how the world is dealing with. The world has changed a lot, and even the royal family cannot protect themselves. The rest of the common people are asking for more blessings. At the moment, the two of them have nothing to say.

Seeing the last two, the Western King said: "Your little emperor and the queen mother also proposed to preserve the royal fields, property, and artifacts in the palace, and hope to continue to live in the Forbidden City. This is impossible. Since this king promised to seal Chun as the Marquis of Rebirth, according to the official system of the heavenly kingdom, the Marquis of Rebirth will naturally have a salary from the Marquis. What should I do if I need so much land? If I continue to live in the Forbidden City, where will I live? These two are not accurate!"

When the empress dowager proposed these two items, Qingfeng and the others thought it was a whim. How could there be a change of dynasty? The emperor of the previous dynasty still occupied the palace and land? Of course, they all had to exchange for their lives. At that time, the two of them didn't mention anything, and they all agreed to it, thinking about how to go back and persuade the empress dowager, and they should not be tired of their family...
