Tang Sai'er sat in front of him and looked at Zhang Xianzhong: "King, after the death of the Ming Dynasty, there is no owner in the world, originally, this is a good time to be the emperor, but you don't forget, at this time, the world is divided, whose strength is not overwhelmingly strong, Li Zicheng entered Beijing, was originally the most powerful, but he was in Shanhaiguan, defeated by the Qing army Dolgon, and then lost the capital and Zhili, and his most mistaken place was to defeat back to the capital, hurriedly called the emperor, which not only does not make any sense, also directly let the spearheads of all the candidates in the world be aimed at him, so this was the later war against the Qing Dynasty. 【Latest chapter reading. If he hadn't united the Qin army and all the people in the world, Luoyang would not have been able to hold it. At this time, the Qing army escaped from the pass, although Li Zicheng recaptured the capital, but he was unhappy with the candidates, so at this time, Dashun has become the target of public criticism, and we should let this situation continue, not break it. ”

Zhang Xianzhong listened and didn't say a word.

Tang Sai'er continued: "In this way, Li Zicheng's Dashun Kingdom has become the target of all the candidates in the world, and each family will focus on his side, and Dashun Kingdom is also attacked from all sides from the perspective of the area under its control, his north has the Qing army, the east is Fan Ju, the south is the Qin army and Zuo Liangyu, and the west is Sun Chuanting, the various forces have surrounded the Dashun country in the center, according to my estimate, the war will break out soon, and we live in Sichuan at this time, which is densely populated and has abundant food, which is the territory for the development of strength, and more importantly, We are far away from the Central Plains and are not in the focus of the world's attention, which avoids the attention of the people of the world, and we are just single-minded in expanding our troops and hoarding grain. When the candidates of the Central Plains fight to the death, you are already a soldier with enough food, and then the soldiers will go out of Kuimen, first strike away Zuo Liangyu, and then take Wuchang as the accompanying capital, and advance to the Central Plains, so that the Central Plains can be determined, and the world can be determined. ”

Zhang Xianzhong sighed, frowning and pondering.

Tang Sai'er said: "But you are the emperor at this time, which undoubtedly attracts the attention of the people of the world, so that everyone can see that you are ambitious in Sichuan and have the ambition to dominate the world." If others don't say it, Zuo Liangyu alone will take precautions, and he will definitely deploy heavy troops to defend the Yangtze River. At that point, if you go to war with it, the odds of victory will not be so great. ”

Zhang Xianzhong sneered: "Even if I don't call myself the emperor, Zuo Liangyu won't guard against me?" He is recruiting troops in Wuchang, isn't he guarding against me? There is nothing new in the words of the military advisor. ”

Tang Sai'er said: "You have to understand a truth, calling the emperor is just a little better in name, but there is no actual benefit, you are called the emperor, the territory will not increase by an inch, and the people and horses will not increase by a brigade, but it just makes the world see you as an enemy, Cao C in the Three Kingdoms has a famous saying, don't be vain and suffer real disasters." ”

Zhang Xianzhong shook his head: "At this time and that time, Lao Cao was at that time, there was still a master in the world." And right now, there is no emperor in the world, he Li Zicheng can be called emperor, Zhu Yousong can be called emperor, and that Sun Chuanting can also support a fake prince as emperor, why can't Lao Tzu, besides, in my opinion, there are many benefits to being emperor. ”

Tang Sai'er said: "Then I'll listen to what are the benefits of these?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong put the tea bowl down: "First, I am the emperor, the generals and soldiers of my subordinates are happy, they have followed me for many years, and they have not won any official position, if I am called the emperor, they will definitely let them be officials, they are happy, and they will follow me wholeheartedly." Second, I became the emperor, and those talented people in Sichuan who wanted to be officials would come to me, and I would also reward them with official positions. Third, I am called the emperor precisely to let the people of the world know, so that it is possible to issue an edict in the name of orthodoxy, which is called justifiable. When Liu Bei seized Sichuan, Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei to be the emperor, isn't it the same? ”

Tang Sai'er was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head: "King, these benefits of yours are all short-term, not long-term, let alone strategic. Sun Kewang can't see through those generals, you should look farther, for the sake of the great cause in the future, I advise you to think twice. ”

Zhang Xianzhong let out a long breath, and it could be seen that his efforts suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and finally he rolled his eyes, suddenly laughed, got up and came to Tang Sai'er's side, and said very solemnly: "Okay, I will promise you, think about it carefully, and don't rush to become the emperor." ”

Tang Sai'er breathed a sigh of relief: "If the king can think like this, I am relieved." ”

But Tang Sai'er never expected that after she went back, Zhang Xianzhong did not hesitate, and then ordered someone to build an altar outside Chengdu, named the Heavenly Altar, and then chose an auspicious day, almost without a moment's delay, and called the emperor in Chengdu.

When Tang Sai'er heard this, she was furious, she wanted to persuade Zhang Xianzhong again, but this time Zhang Xianzhong didn't even see her face, Tang Sai'er went twice, but she was blocked back, saying that the king was unwell. Tang Sai'er knew that this time he couldn't be persuaded anymore, so he had to laugh bitterly a few times and stop there.

Zhang Xianzhong called the emperor in Chengdu, the country name Daxi, and then canonized a hundred officials, in order to show that he is a person who values faith and righteousness, he still named Tang Sai'er as the prime minister, and her brother Tang Hu as the partial general, and then named the four major generals, Sun Kewang as the general of Anxi, Li Dingguo as the general of Zhengdong, Liu Wenxiu as the general of Pingnan, and Ai Nengqi as the general of Weibei.

After sealing his own people, Zhang Xianzhong began to open a branch in Sichuan to recruit talents, and learned from the mouths of the people a wise man in Shu, named Pan Duao, this person was originally from Hubei, it is said that he is very smart, and he also recruited him, and served as a strategist by his side.

As soon as Pan Duao came, he talked with Zhang Xianzhong a few times, and Zhang Xianzhong was very happy, and immediately worshiped him as the secretary of the ministry and participated in political affairs.

Tang Sai'er can see clearly that this Mr. Pan Duao is Zhang Xianzhong's backhand, indicating that Zhang Xianzhong no longer fully trusts himself, and even has made plans to not have his own future, as long as she is gone, Pan Duao is the prime minister of the Great Western Kingdom.

In this regard, Tang Sai'er didn't say anything, she knew in her heart that she and her brother Tang Hu were just outsiders to Zhang Xianzhong, not his henchmen, and they could rely on it when they fought the world, and at this time, Tang Sai'er's words, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't listen to them, and what followed was alienation and suspicion.

Tang Sai'er even regretted her decision to leave the Qin army in the first place, she didn't expect Zhang Xianzhong to become so fast, and he only occupied one Sichuan, so he became arrogant.

At this time, Li Dingguo came with news that the King of Qin had sent Li Yan as an envoy, and he had already entered Kuimen and would soon arrive in Chengdu.
