Chapter 119: Li Zicheng bowed his head

The weather in May is very hot, but when you enter the main hall of the Dashun Palace, there is a chill.

Several ice basins were placed in the main hall, and the temperature in the main hall was pulled down by several degrees at once, and the sound of knowledge outside seemed to be low.

On the enthronement ceremony, Li Zicheng used a lot of eunuchs in Xiangwangfu to handle ceremonial matters, and several eunuchs had merit, plus Li Zicheng was impatient with the general affairs of Xiangwangfu, and the Gao family did not have the experience of managing the big families, so he promoted several eunuchs to assist the Gao family.

really responded to that sentence, the villain is as sweet as honey.

As far as these ice basins are concerned, Li Ziwei doesn't want them, but he can't stand the eunuch's statement, they say that these ice cubes were prepared last winter, and even if they are not used, they will melt. In this way, it is better for His Majesty to use it.

Besides, if Your Majesty doesn't use it, how can it be distributed to other generals.

Li Zicheng heard it reasonably, so he put a few pots around him, and the rest were distributed to the ministers and generals, and each of them didn't get much.

It's just that at this moment, these people feel that this hall is very cold.

I don't know if it's a problem with these pots of ice cubes, or Li Zicheng's problem.

Ever since Li Zicheng read the letter sent by Gu Junen from Runing, his face was extremely gloomy, as if someone owed him how many tens of thousands of taels of silver, and in one eye, the cold light flickered, almost killing someone.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of news is coming from Lord Gu?" Niu Jinxing pondered for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"See for yourself." Li Zicheng immediately threw down the letter in his hand.

After Niu Jinxing saw it, the light in his eyes flashed, and he immediately handed it to Li Xin.

"Your Majesty. The little ninja is plotting big. After Li Xin read it, he immediately said: "There is a priority, just defeat Sun Chuanting, collect the troops in the northwest, sweep the nine sides, and dominate the world, how can Luo Rucai resist the army at that time, and it is not too late to take revenge when the time comes." ”

"Li Junshi, it may not be too much, the so-called lord humiliates the minister's death, as a subordinate, how can he let the lord suffer such a great humiliation, the minister thinks that he should do his best to raise the army of Xiangyang and approach Runing Mansion, Cao Cao is just a loud voice, under my army, he will definitely have no other way, only to withdraw obediently." Niu Jinxing said loudly.

"Your Majesty, in this way, the contradiction between Cao Ying and us will be exposed to the world, and how will the people of the world view the Xiangjing Imperial Court at that time. I'm afraid Your Majesty will also lose your prestige. The matter has come to this, so be patient with no haste. Li Xin said.

"Li Junshi's words are --- wrong," Niu Jinxing said.

"Alright." Li Zicheng spoke, his voice was like a low roar, and said: "What Luo Rucai wants, I will give it to him, but he will not let me go to you."

I'd rather apologize in person. Tell me to write a letter and ask him to go on my behalf. ”

Li Xin said: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Niu Jinxing gritted his teeth and said: "I regret that I didn't end up with Luo Rucai in Xiangyang at the beginning. ”

Li Zicheng was not interested in speaking, and then brushed his sleeves away.

Niu Jinxing was secretly proud in his heart.

The first time he received the letter, he knew that this matter could not be forced, and it was best to agree, but he also felt Li Zicheng's emotions, Li Zicheng seemed to be a volcano about to erupt at the moment, and countless anger was flowing underground.

He immediately decided that he couldn't touch Li Zicheng's head by himself, so he let Li Xin speak first, and then played the image of a loyal minister who was loyal and humiliated to death.

"Wait." Niu Jinxing said secretly in his heart: "Li Xin, one day, I will make you look good." ”

With the expansion of the camp, Niu Jinxing also slowly figured out some of Li Zicheng's thoughts, Niu Jinxing represented the Shilin lineage behind him, and Li Xin was behind the people of Henan Zhuzhai. Even the rule of Shangchuang Camp on the ground in Henan was established through Li Xin.

Li Zicheng seems to be intent on letting him and Li Xin check and balance each other.

After Niu Jinxing figured this out, he knew that it would be a long process to bring down Li Xin. But no matter how long the process is, it must start little by little, Niu Jinxing said secretly: "Li Xin's behavior of thinking that his loyalty and disobedience does not change, and one day, he will be disgusted by King Chuang." That's my chance. ”

Li Zicheng didn't know Niu Jinxing's thoughts, and his heart was already filled with anger.

He came to a bamboo grove in the backyard, and suddenly pulled out his waist knife and slashed at a bamboo. The two-finger-wide bamboo couldn't stop Li Zicheng's blade, and he was cut down with a knife.

"I am now the Son of Heaven, so why do I dare to do this to me?"

Li Zicheng's pace remained the same, and the long knife backhand slashed again, This time the long knife wheel was so powerful that it was all cut down.

"Luo Rucai, even though you were kind to me before, but you dare to do this to me, I remember this matter."

Li Zicheng swung his knife as he walked. Countless thoughts are bursting through my heart.

"I wanted to give you some face, and I will also give you a good death in the future. I don't want you but I don't appreciate it. ”

This bamboo forest is not big, it is part of the backyard garden, but in the hands of Li Zicheng, who does not understand garden art, it was cut into a mess and forced to cut a way from the middle. On top of the crackling bamboo, countless branches and leaves are everywhere.

"Remember, I will kill you." Li Zizi returned the knife to the sheath and let out a long breath. I feel that although there is still a barrier in my heart, I can vaguely control myself.

At this moment, Li Zicheng made a fuss,

It has been seen by many eunuchs and maids.

"Clean up." Li Zicheng commanded expressionlessly and strode away.

However, Li Zicheng lost his temper in private, but what should be done still has to be done.

Li Guo took Li Zicheng's handwritten letter, hurried to Runing, and presented the letter to Luo Rucai on the main hall of Chongwang's Mansion.

Luo Rucai opened it and looked at it, couldn't help laughing, and then threw it aside. Seeing this, Li Guo immediately became furious, and his body shook and wanted to step forward, but he was held down by Gu Junen. Luo Rucai glanced at Li Guo and said: "Although Li Chuang's writing is very awkward, I think he is very awkward in his heart, what you said, I promised to come down, and send troops to Nanzhili this month." ”

"East King Gaoyi." Gu Junen said: "Your Majesty, in order to show your trust, specially crowned the king as the king of Wu, and the governor of the world's soldiers and horses. ”

Luo Rucai didn't care about this false name, and after sending the two of them away, he immediately reorganized his troops and horses and prepared to go on the expedition.

He had no intention of sending someone to Xiayi to rescue Zhang Xuan, and decided to march east along the Huai River, both by land and water. The soldiers pointed directly at Fengyang Mansion, and used the plan of encircling Wei to save Zhao and relieve the siege of Xiayi.

However, although Luo Rucai prepared a lot, this time the expedition was different from the previous one. In the past, the war was fought wherever it was, but now that Luo Rucai is ready to fight for hegemony in the world, all the prefectures and counties along the way are ready to occupy, so all the officials in Runing Mansion have been almost transferred.

Only Wang Du was reluctant to leave Runing Mansion because he was a local and his homeland was far from the south. He was recommended by Zhang Zhen as the prefect of Runing, in charge of Runing affairs.

Luo Rucai's attitude towards Runing is not much different from Zhang Xuan's, so he likes the good foundation left by Zhang Xuan in Runing, but he also knows that Runing is not a place to stay for a long time, after the army left, Runing only had thousands of soldiers left, and he may not be able to suppress the bowing snake inside, and he may not be able to resist the pressure of Li Zicheng and the imperial court, which is almost equivalent to abandoning the land, so Luo Rucai's recommendation to Zhang Zhen will be followed.

As a result, Wang Du was a poor Xiucai who was about to starve to death years ago, and in less than a year, he became the leader of the government and was in charge of thousands of soldiers. It's almost comparable to the princes of a land.

Wang Du had such an opportunity, so he was naturally grateful to Cao Ying, especially Zhang Xuan, and he swore to Zhang Zhitian: "Wang is in one day, this Runing Prefecture and twelve counties are the world of Cao Ying. ”

Zhang Zhen didn't think much of Wang Du, after all, he was born as a Jinshi, and he felt that Wang Du's article was too bad, but he gave a few words of encouragement, and left all the things that the army couldn't take away to Wang Du, and let Wang Du take them over one by one.

In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen or the first year of Dashun Yongchang, in late May, the army advanced by land and water to the south of Zhili.

Such a big event, it can't be hidden from people at all, Cao Ying's army has just entered the boundary of Nanzhili, and the news seems to have come to the outside of Xiayi City.
