In such a situation, the Ming court did not have any special measures, for Liu Renyu, who had made such a great contribution, the court did not be promoted, did not enter the knighthood, and did not have half a cent of gold and silver rewards, and the court was silent, just as if this incident did not happen.

Chongzhen knew that Liu Renyu wouldn't care about these things, so he didn't plan to give them, and even if he wanted to give them, what else could he give now besides the prince?

It is not that the court has not reached a heartbeat, hoping that Chongzhen will use the title of king as a condition to induce Liu Renyu to send troops south and merge with Li Zicheng, so that Liu Renyu's strength can be weakened and Li Zicheng can be attacked, why not.

The imperial court, you don't need to pay money, you don't need to send troops, you just need to give an empty prince, Shaanxi is in the hands of Liu Renyu, just give it to him.

Although Liu Renyu is also a scourge after all, there is still a certain gap compared with Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng made it clear that he wanted to change the dynasty and destroy the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng was the mortal enemy of the imperial court, but Liu Renyu was a bit like the feudal town of the middle and late Tang Dynasty, although he was disobedient, he still listened to the emperor's words and listened to the words of the imperial court on face.

The most obvious example is that Shaanxi's taxes, plus Liao's salary, expropriation, training, and even the seizure and grain after the destruction of Houjin, Liu Renyu sent people to Beijing.

It is precisely because of Liu Renyu's assistance that the transportation in Jiangnan was cut off, and all taxes were gone, but the Ming court was still able to operate normally, and the lives of officials did not have much impact.

Liu Renyu is so considerate, but he does not embarrass the court at such a point, and the minds of some ministers are lively, and Li Zicheng is so fierce in the south.

These national thieves who are officials in Beijing and are called the number one greedy and evil by Li Zicheng, if they are in the hands of Li Zicheng, An Neng still has his life, not to mention for the sake of Daming, for himself, he must also find a way to resist Li Zicheng.

This method is to use the famous weapon of the imperial court as a condition, acquiesce to Liu Renyu to split the soil and become the king, imitate the example of North Korea, and become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and then the court will issue an order to transfer the troops of Liu Renyu, the king of the vassal country, and go south to exterminate Li Zicheng.

In July of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Zuo Shunmen court.

Today's court discussion is to discuss whether Shaanxi can be given to Liu Renyu to establish the country, let Liu Renyu choose his own country name, report to the imperial court, and the imperial court canonized, after the canonization is completed, he will quickly let Liu Renyu go south and pacify Li Zicheng.

Different from the past, this strategy was Wen Tiren who took the lead in playing Chongzhen, he was an old slippery head, and this time he finally stopped slipping his head, because his family members who fled from his hometown to Beijing said that he Wen Tiren was listed by Li Zicheng as the number one giant greed and evil, and Li Zicheng would want to get rid of it quickly.

Most of Wen Tiren's family members were killed, and only a few sons escaped desperately.

Although Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, has made no achievements since he came to power, the blood of men is still there, his family was killed, and his son can only sit idly by, and he is not filial!

In order to avenge his family, for his own life, for the perpetuation of his own power, and for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he must stand up and take responsibility.

It doesn't matter if you are settled by the Autumn Queen, as long as you can avoid this level and keep the Ming Dynasty, even if you are settled by the Emperor after the Autumn, someone will protect you.

Wen Tiren moved the idea of tearing the soil and sealing Liu Renyu as the king, so he contacted the ministers, jointly played a fold, and jointly presented it to Chongzhen, asking Chongzhen to allow Liu Renyu to follow the example of Joseon and establish a vassal state, Liu Renyu was the king of the county, and then ordered Liu Renyu to send troops to pacify Li Zicheng.

This long recital is now in Chongzhen's hands, he silently looked at this recital word by word, and after reading it, he handed it to Wang Chengen beside him, so that his eldest companion could also take a look.

Wang Chengen also looked at it, then took it upside down and handed it back to Chongzhen with both hands.

The ministers all knew that Chongzhen didn't want to take responsibility for anything, especially things that might be infamous, so this time they had decided to take responsibility for the loss of their ancestral land, paved the steps, and waited for Chongzhen to go down the steps, and then they did it.

In the future, if you want to kill or chop, everyone will protect each other.

Today, it seems that it is only today that Chongzhen has experienced the feeling of a handful of ministers making him in the emperor's heart, the Ming court is now like this, there is no strength to compete with Li Zicheng, except for a rebel minister Liu Renyu, Chongzhen really can't think of anyone else who can save the Ming Dynasty.

Dead horses are treated as live horse doctors, so rely on this warlord first! But the article on the scene can't be left undone.

"Do you want me to give the country laid down by my ancestors to a rebel minister for nothing?"

Chongzhen's words have set the tone, and the ministers have also heard the fame, not that they are not allowed, but how the ancestors will explain?

"Your Majesty, Gou Jian lying down and tasting courage, twenty years of life and gathering, destroying the enemy country, becoming one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, although I am in addition to the external troubles, but the south Li Zicheng has attacked the city and plundered the land, has captured half of the south of the Yangtze River, and now I have only the south of the Ming Dynasty and Zhejiang and the loyal and brave people in the resistance, but the thief army is strong, I am afraid it can not last.

For today's plan, only to seal Liu Renyu as the king, induce him to send troops, in any case, first kill Li Zicheng, who will want to destroy my Ming Dynasty, and then say, as for the rebel minister Liu, the minister thinks that it is not too late to wait for my Ming Dynasty to recuperate and recuperate, and after diligent repairing the armor soldiers.

The emperor is wise and martial, and now he is in his prime, as long as he works hard, at most more than ten years, Liu Renyu can be pacified, and the lost land in Shaanxi can also be recovered. ”

Wen Tiren said that it was not unreasonable, Chongzhen neither affirmed nor denied, but just said: "The monarch is the minister, as long as Liu Renyu has not made a mess, he is still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, he himself has no such intentions, but we are going to beg him to tear the soil and become the king, and ask the king to seek the minister, where is the outline?" Where is the majesty of my Ming Dynasty? If you don't keep things secret,

If it is made public, how do the subjects of the world think of my Ming Dynasty, and how do they think of me, the monarch? ”

Speaking of which, the ministers all understand that the emperor is actually tempted, and all he needs is an opportunity, according to the emperor's meaning, as long as Liu Renyu is willing to take the initiative to throw an olive branch, then the court will not disagree, and everyone will do a good job in the scene.

Liu Renyu got a false name, but he had to sell his life, and the court gave him some famous weapons, so why not get real benefits.

"The king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, the king humiliates the death of the ministers, the ministers fail to perceive the holy will, and the sin deserves death, and the ministers will handle this matter properly, and then come to present it to the emperor."

"Wen Aiqing, the state affairs are difficult, you are willing to share the worries of the Ming Dynasty, I will take care of it, this matter is easy to do."

Chongzhen put down this sentence and left.

"Gonggong Shi, is this the news from Jingshi, is this the meaning of the prince himself, or the meaning of the court officials, or the meaning of the emperor and his old man?"

Liu Renyu took a letter and asked Gonggong Shi, who came to supervise the army in the palace.

"Dashuai," Shi Gonggong thought for a while, "The prince is the most loyal to his master, Long Live Lord, and his old man handed over such a letter to our family, so Long Live Lord will know it for a while." ”

"That makes sense", Liu Renyu bowed slightly, "What do you think?" ”

"Dashuai," the first to answer was always Li Jiye, "of course we ignore it, at this juncture, what is the use of the famous weapons of the imperial court?" We're not uncommon. ”

"Dashuai, at this juncture, the court came up with such an idea, and it is clear that it is using us as guns, and we can't afford to take advantage of the fire for the court." Yang Desheng agreed.

"What about you?"

Liu Renyu asked the others.

"Don't help the court, don't want the famous weapons of the court, let the court fend for itself."

The generals are unanimous.

"Well, this town also thinks so, the famous weapon of the imperial court, when we establish a new Ming Dynasty in the future, we will seal ourselves ourselves, Gonggong Shi, ignore them, you don't have to reply to the letter, in the future, you are ready to wait for the new master."

"Hey, hey, yes."

Gonggong Shi couldn't help but nod.

"Danqing,"

"Humble duty,"

"Order the agents lurking in Beijing to pay attention, on the day Li Zicheng breaks the city, he will take out the crown prince Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong, in addition, the queen and they can also take it out, and the families of the generals of the Liao army will be rescued, and the rest will not be taken care of."

"Yes," Chen Danqing ordered.
