Early the next morning, after Chongzhen completed his cultivation homework, under the service of Wang Chengen, he had breakfast with Tian Guifei, the queen of Zhou, and several other concubines, and then set up the Nanhai Nantai Tibetan Scripture Pavilion again.

When Chongzhen arrived at Nantai, the square in front of the Scripture Pavilion was already full of eunuchs and maids in the palace. After Chongzhen sat down, he didn't see Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Dolgon and others, turned his head and said to Wang Chengen:

"Big companion, pass the order to let Li Zicheng and other generals in front enter the square to conduct a qualification test first. These people in the palace can take a break. ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly received the order, walked to Wang Jizu, who was waiting on the side, and said: "You quickly go to pass the edict, and order Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Dolgon, Hao Shaoqi Duoduo and other generals in the front army to enter the square first, and the emperor will personally hold a qualification testing ceremony for them." ”

Wang Jizu understood, took a step forward and shouted: "Quiet, the emperor has an order, the people in the palace will postpone the test, and wait for the lieutenant general in the front army to take the lead!" ”

When the eunuchs and maids in the palace on the square heard this, their excitement suddenly stagnated, and they all turned their heads to look behind. The guards of the law enforcement team on duty in the square shouted loudly one by one to the outside of the square:

"The emperor has an order to order Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Dolgon to enter the square with the generals in the front army, and the emperor will personally hold a qualification testing ceremony for the generals in the army!"

"The emperor has an order to order Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Dolgon to enter the square with the generals in the front army, and the emperor will personally hold a qualification testing ceremony for the generals in the army!"

Outside the square, Li Zicheng, who was chatting with Zhang Xianzhong Dolgon, talking about the harvest on the battlefield, heard the loud shouts of the guards of the law enforcement team, and suddenly looked back at the square.

Zhang Xianzhong and the others hurriedly quieted down, and finally heard the voice of the law enforcement team guards: "The emperor has an order to order Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Dolgon to enter the square with the generals in the front army, and the emperor will personally hold a qualification testing ceremony for the generals in the army!" ”

Li Guo jumped up happily and shouted loudly: "Uncle, I heard it, it was the emperor who asked me to wait for the people in the army in front to enter the square first to test their qualifications!" Uncle, let's go quickly, don't let the emperor wait for a long time. ”

Li Zicheng came back to his senses, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned his head to look at Dolgon and Zhang Xianzhong, who were also excited, and said calmly:

"Two brothers, the emperor has a will, he wants me to wait for the testing qualifications first, why don't I enter the square now?"

Zhang Xianzhong and Dolgon laughed and said: "Brother Li is very right, let's tidy up the army and lead the team into the square, so as not to make the emperor anxious." ”

The three of them immediately gave an order, and the generals under their respective subordinates gathered behind the three of them excitedly, lined up neatly, and stepped into the square with their chests held high, and walked to the front of the square.

"Salute!"

When the three queues walked to the front of the emperor Chongzhen's seat, Li Zicheng shouted, and nearly 100 generals knelt on one knee and bowed to the emperor Chongzhen:

"Long live the emperor! Daming Wansheng! ”

Chongzhen stood up from his seat with a smile, stretched out his hands and said softly: "Generals, please be exempt from courtesy, and be flat." ”

Chongzhen's voice was not loud, but everyone in the square heard it clearly. Li Zicheng Zhang Xianzhong Dolgon felt a pang in his heart, the former Chongzhen Emperor would never be able to make such an understatement so clearly, this is the effect of cultivation.

After being shocked, the excitement swelled in the hearts of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Dolgon and others. Even the emperor has become so powerful after cultivating the exercises, so after they have cultivated the exercises, will they also become more powerful, and they can also embark on the journey of eternal life?

The three of them had all sat on the dragon chair for a short time before, and they all knew that the courtiers' daily shouts of long live were nothing more than senseless flattery. Before the ancestor of Ming Jianwen returned to the Ming Dynasty, in this world, how could there have been people who lived for a long time?

Even if they can lay down the Ming Dynasty and sit in the position of Emperor Chongzhen, they can only enjoy the glory and wealth of a short life, and they can't even live a long life, let alone live for a thousand years.

Now it is different, although it belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and it is hard to expand the territory in front of the Ming Dynasty. But the same can enjoy the glory and wealth of the world, and what is even more is that now it is more able to pass on the way of eternal life, seek the fruit of eternal life, and life is no longer a hundred years.

The throne or immortality, which one is more attractive to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong Dolgon? There is no doubt that nature is the way to immortality, and it is even more intoxicating. Even if the qualifications are a little worse and you can't embark on the road to immortality, at the very least, you can live for hundreds of years and see the prosperity of the world.

"Emperor Xie!"

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong Dolgon cleaned up their complicated feelings, and after thanking the emperor Chongzhen, he led his generals to stand up, and looked eagerly at the seven big stones erected in front of the square.

Just last night, they had already learned about the entire process of qualification testing from the mouths of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and knew that these seven big stones were the spirit stones that determined their fate.

Chongzhen looked at the eager generals and smiled: "In this way, I won't delay time." Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Dolgon, Duoduo, Azig, Abatai and Zhang Dingguo, you and the other seven people stepped forward, pressed their palms against the spirit stone, and began to test your qualifications. ”

Hearing this, Li Zicheng and the seven of them bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, walked quickly to the spirit stone, and stretched out his right palm to press against the spirit stone. After a few breaths, the seven spirit stones all glowed with dazzling light.

Li Zicheng withdrew his right hand and eagerly turned his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen. Chongzhen smiled: "Your qualifications are much stronger than mine, it seems that the physical fitness of people in the army is much better." ”

Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Dolgon and others laughed together: "How dare the ministers compare with Your Majesty." ”

Chongzhen shook his hand and said, "I'm telling the truth. My qualifications are only inferior, while the seven of you and the others are all medium-class. Jianwen Ancestor said that everyone's qualifications determine his ultimate achievements on the path of cultivation.

The higher the qualification, the faster the cultivation speed, the more able to absorb the aura between heaven and earth, and the higher the final achievement, the easier it will be to embark on the path of immortality. ”

Of course, Chongzhen still has a sentence that has not been said, and in addition to qualifications, there are also cultivation exercises that determine the final achievement. And Li Zicheng and others are destined to not be able to practice the best exercises, and their final achievements will not be higher than those of the royal family.

"There are hundreds of thousands of cultivation exercises stored by Jianwen Ancestor in the Scripture Pavilion. You first go to see the instructions before the Scripture Pavilion, and then enter the Scripture Pavilion to choose the cultivation exercises that are suitable for your attributes by chance. I would like to say one more thing, the only word for diligence is the way of cultivation, and you should not forget to cultivate diligently while leading the troops to expand the territory.

After all, the cultivation that comes from this cultivation is your own. But also remember, don't forget to lead troops to expand the territory because of cultivation. In addition, I will give you some more cultivation exercises later. That is for your soldiers to cultivate, after returning to the front, you must pass on the exercises, so that all my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will embark on the path of cultivation. ”

Li Zicheng and the others were taken aback, and Chongzhen said with a smile: "The cultivation for the soldiers is some relatively simple and basic exercises. In the future, the soldiers received further cultivation exercises based on merit and discipline. ”

Li Zicheng and the others were stunned, and after quickly thanking Emperor Chongzhen, under the leadership of the guards of the law enforcement team, they walked to the Zangjing Pavilion.
