Li Zicheng asked his soldiers to bring Xie Junbao to the mansion, and now that the major events in the city have been decided, he is just waiting for the Tang King Zhu Yuhu and other clan members to be beheaded in public, and the Heavenly Mandate Army will leave Nanyang.

He had agreed with Xie Junbao that as long as the Heavenly Mandate Army did not harass the people in the city, Xie Junbao would let the Heavenly Mandate Army bring the flag, and now was the time.

Xie Junbao was taken to the small hall of the second hall by his own soldiers, and along the way, it was a little strange, the Heavenly Mandate Army took him to sacrifice the flag, it should be beheaded in public, just like the members of the clan, it is best to count their own crimes, and then let the people come to watch, at least kill them in front of the soldiers, so as to have the effect of sacrificing the flag.

But Li Zicheng's personal soldiers brought him to the second hall, which one is this play? Could it be that Li Zicheng knew that he had a high prestige among the people, and he did not dare to behead him in public, but killed him in secret?

When he came to the second hall, there were no soldiers around, and Xie Junbao felt more and more that Li Zicheng was going to secretly # execute himself!

Anyway, it is death, the public sentence is carried out in secret, there is no difference between himself, once the head falls to the ground, he doesn't know anything, and history is left to Li Zicheng to write, Xie Junbao just hopes that the imperial court can understand his painstaking efforts, and he is not cooperating with the Mandate of Heaven Army, but for the people in Nanyang City.

I didn't defend Nanyang City, but I protected the people in the city!

Xie Junbao smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew that he was going to die, but he didn't know the future development, how the Heavenly Mandate Army would end up in the future, and he couldn't even be sure, the Heavenly Mandate Army didn't disturb the people, was it for the sake of the agreement with himself?

Entering the small hall, Li Zicheng was leaning on the wooden chair in the main seat, squinting his eyes while drinking tea, as if thinking about something, Xie Junbao arched his hand to Li Zicheng and didn't say anything.

Li Zicheng raised his head, glanced at Xie Junbao, and said lightly: "Lord Prefect, you should know the reason why I am looking for you, right?" ”

"This official knows," Xie Junbao nodded, and sat down opposite Li Zicheng unceremoniously, "This official has long been prepared, this cheap life, waiting for the metropolitan governor to come and take it at any time?" ”

"Huh?" Li Zicheng's face had a faint smile, "Lord Prefect, what does this mean?" How did Pontus ever say that he wanted your life? The loss of Nanyang City is a disadvantage in battle, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with the prefect being able to come to the city to command! ”

Xie Junbao ignored Li Zicheng's fake words, and said loudly: "Aren't you going to take the official sacrifice flag?" ”

"The Governor of Pontus said that he would sacrifice your flag, and you agreed to this," Li Zicheng's face still had a harmless smile on his face, "However, the Governor of Pontus didn't say that he wanted to kill you!" ”

A trace of surprise appeared on Xie Junbao's face, "Isn't the sacrificial flag just beheaded?" ”

"Is sacrificing a flag a behead?" The smile on Li Zicheng's face was even worse, staring at Xie Junbao's eyes, and said, "Lord Prefect, during this time, what can you feel when you follow the governor of Pontus?" ”

"Feelings?" Since he was captured, Xie Junbao has been following Li Zicheng's side in addition to walking around the city, and he has a lot of feelings, but most of them are misunderstandings, or appearances, at least he thinks so, how could Liukou be like this......

Li Zicheng said lightly: "Lord Prefect, isn't there a trace of difference between the Heavenly Mandate Army and the rogue in your eyes?" ”

Xie Junbao's brows wrinkled suddenly, and then he stretched out and said, "Metropolitan Governor, before being sacrificed to the flag, there is something unclear about this official, can the Metropolitan Governor solve the doubts of this official?" ”

"If the prefect has any questions, just ask," Li Zicheng put down the teacup, shrugged his shoulders, stretched his waist, and said, "There are some things that always have to be understood by you." ”

Xie Junbao felt that there must be some deep meaning in Li Zicheng's words, but he couldn't care about it, and said: "Metropolitan Governor, if there is no agreement with this official, will the Heavenly Mandate Army bloody Nanyang City?" ”

"Does it matter?" Li Zicheng chuckled and said: "The Heavenly Mandate Army did not disturb the people, and the prefect agreed to let the Heavenly Mandate Army sacrifice the flag, no matter what, the result is irrevocable!" ”

Although he didn't get a positive answer, Xie Junbao didn't need it anymore, he knew in his heart that even if there was no agreement, the Heavenly Mandate Army would not loot the people in the city like Liukou, except for the palace, the Heavenly Mandate Army didn't even raid the officials and gentry in the city, how could they look at the people's property?

I must have been deceived!

However, Nanyang City is broken, he is a prisoner of war in the hands of the Mandate of Heaven Army, whether it is the imperial court or the Mandate of Heaven Army, he will not let himself go, since he is all dead, let the Mandate of Heaven Army take it to sacrifice the flag, why not? If the Mandate of Heaven Army forcibly uses its own sacrifice flag, will it still have the strength to fight back?

I just don't know what articles the Mandate of Heaven Army wants to do with its own death!

Before being beheaded, Xie Junbao still had some questions, "Dadu Governor, has the Heavenly Mandate Army never disturbed the people when attacking the city?" ”

"Lord Prefect thinks that if the Mandate of Heaven Army is a group of rogues, even if there is the inspiration of the adults, will there not be one or two black sheep?" Li Zicheng said lightly: "The Heavenly Mandate Army is absolutely different from the rogue imagined by the prefect!" ”

Xie Junbao nodded unconsciously, as Li Zicheng said, the Heavenly Mandate Army is indeed different from Liukou, and even far beyond his imagination, what does this Li Zicheng want to do? Isn't it like a rogue, just to have a full stomach?

Thinking of the palace in the city, which was slaughtered by the Heavenly Mandate Army, he couldn't help but shudder, could it be......

Li Zicheng knew that Xie Junbao had been thinking, so he didn't interrupt, he drank tea by himself, and after a long time, Fang said: "Lord Prefect, the Mandate of Heaven Army is in Nanyang City, the big thing is over, and now is the time to fulfill our promise." ”

Xie Junbao woke up from his trance, he knew that what should come will always come, so he nodded lightly, and a trace of regret appeared in his eyes! When Nanyang City was broken, he knew that his fate would inevitably die, and he thought he was ready.

However, at this moment, he had a trace of regret that he couldn't understand......

Li Zicheng waved his hand and said, "Xiaomi, bring the military flag!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomi handed a folded military flag to Li Zicheng's hand, and then stepped back slightly, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the military flag.

Li Zicheng held the Kyushu military flag in both hands, slowly stood up, his eyes fell on Xie Junbao's body, and suddenly said loudly: "Xie Junbao, take the flag!" ”

Xie Junbao was dumbfounded, he never expected that Li Zicheng would hand over the military flag of the Heavenly Mandate Army to him, his mind was stunned for a while, he stood up in a daze, like a puppet pulled by someone, stretched out his stiff hands, and after taking the Kyushu military flag, he understood a little, "The Governor of Dadu ......"

Li Zicheng waited for Xie Junbao to take over the military flag, and then said in a deep voice: "Xie Junbao, this is the most noble Kyushu military flag of the Heavenly Mandate Army, the people are in the flag, can you do it?" ”

Xie Junbao muttered, "......What does the Metropolitan Governor mean?"

"From now on, you are the prefect of the Mandate of Heaven in Nanyang, and the people in the city are still your subjects, but you are no longer an official of the imperial court, but an official of the Mandate of Heaven," Li Zicheng said: "You think clearly, if you can't do it, you can return the Kyushu military flag to the governor of the city now, if you take the military flag, but you can't protect her, even if you flee to Beijing, the Heavenly Mandate Army will not let you go, you have half an hour to think about it!" ”

Xie Junbao's blood surged rapidly, his old face was flushed, and he felt that he had walked in the clouds and fog, he took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and suddenly "snapped", and knelt down in front of Li Zicheng on both knees, "Don't think about it, the Metropolitan Governor, your subordinates will take orders!" ”

Li Zicheng smiled on his face, the Kyushu military flag has been sacrificed, there is no reason to take it back, during this time, he has been observing Xie Junbao, because he has taken a fancy to him, he will sacrifice the flag to him, although it is a little abrupt, but it is to force him to cut off the back road, "Xie Junbao, you think clearly, once you accept the military flag, you will be a member of the Mandate of Heaven!" ”

"This official ...... The villain understands! Xie Junbao held the Kyushu military flag high above his head, "From now on, the villain is only the head of the capital governor and the horse, and this Kyushu military flag is the villain's sky!" ”

Li Zicheng personally helped Xie Junbao up, pressed him to the chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "You are still the prefect of Nanyang, but you belong to the officials of the Heavenly Mandate Army, that is, the subordinates of the governor of Pontus. ”

Xie Junbao's heart has a different taste, "Dadu Governor, his subordinates understand, it turns out that the sacrificial flag agreed between his subordinates and Dadu Governor is ......"

"Haha," Li Zicheng laughed when he was in a good mood, "Do you know why the governor of Pontus has such an agreement with you?" Or rather, why did such an agreement fall on your head? ”

Xie Junbao said cautiously: "Is it because his subordinates were originally the prefects of Nanyang?" ”

"No," Li Zicheng shook his head lightly, "There are not a few people who can be qualified for the position of Nanyang Prefect, you will not be the only candidate, besides, the selection of officials by the imperial court is definitely not in line with the concept of the Heavenly Mandate Army!" ”

Xie Junbao seemed to have an understanding and said, "Is it because of the people's business?" ”

"Yes, naturally it's because of the people," Li Zicheng stretched out his thumb to Xie Junbao and praised him, "If you didn't ask for the people's life that day, the Governor of Bendu might not have chosen you to be the prefect of Nanyang. ”

Xie Junbao then understood that he asked for the people's lives that day, and asked the Heavenly Mandate Army not to disturb the people, but inadvertently entered Li Zicheng's eyes and saved his own life, and now he finally has the opportunity to see the future of the Heavenly Mandate Army, "Dadu Governor, the future Nanyang Mansion, is it going to ...... the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction?"

"Let's talk about this later, don't be reluctant, keeping Nanyang Mansion is fundamental," Li Zicheng estimated that once the fourth battalion leaves Nanyang, it would be good to be able to keep Nanyang with the strength and combat effectiveness of Ma Shile, and it would be really difficult to expand to the subordinate states and counties, "Lord Xie is now the prefect of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and he must be benevolent to the people, so that the people can feel the preferential policies of the Heavenly Mandate Army to the people, and use the tax law of the Heavenly Mandate Governor's Mansion to start collecting taxes, and if the people are really poor, they can reduce or reduce taxes!" ”

"My subordinates understand!" Xie Junbao felt more and more that Li Zicheng's mind was determined to be in the world!

"The taxes levied by Nanyang, the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion will not call it for the time being, if it is not enough to spend, the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion will support it appropriately, in short, the people under it must have food to eat!" Li Zicheng didn't know if his words were redundant, he was just worried that Xie Junbao levied taxes on the poor in order to invite merit from the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, "The original officials of Nanyang Mansion, you use them at your discretion, they are mercenary, and they must not serve as officials, and the officials who are lacking can be recruited regardless of their status!" ”
