He suddenly realized that there was no need to worry about whether Liu Zongmin was dead or not.
As long as the people think he is dead.
"The King's Heart," Chongzhen ordered.
"The servant is here."
"Send people to find Liu Zongmin's body along the Yellow River, and then make a big fuss about it."
Wang Zhixin rolled her eyes and kowtowed, saying, "I obey your order!"
Chongzhen was a little worried and asked, "What was the point of what I just said?"

Wang Zhixin's body was shocked, she knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "I will arrange it right away."
In Chongzhen's view, Li Zicheng never surrendered to the Qing Dynasty from beginning to end.
Just for this reason, we can build a cenotaph for him.
