Chapter 363: Li Zicheng's Compromise
readx;
Li Zicheng's retreat was indeed a bit unexpected by Chongzhen and Ming Ting, but Zhu Qing didn't seem surprised. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since Chuang Jun thinks that fighting Tartars is a matter of the Ming Court and has little to do with him Li Zicheng, then the most convincing reason for him can only be that Tartars, he Li Zicheng must fight!
Zhu Qing stood up, shook his head and said with a smile, "If General Huzi's words are what King Chuang and Chuang Jun mean, then I am really worried about Chuang Jun." ”
When everyone heard this, they were shocked, especially the Chuang army, they thought that this move could suppress the imperial court, but they didn't expect Zhu Qing to say such things casually.
"In this way, General Lao really bothered." Liu Zongmin didn't seem to want to give Zhu Qing a chance to infiltrate verbally.
"General Liu, to be honest, I really don't want to mention more about Baihualou." Zhu Qing said, and glanced at Liu Zongmin very seriously, Liu Zongmin is a person like this, if you don't play with him, he will think that you don't dare to play.
It just so happens that Zhu Qing is the kind of person who wants to play and dares to play, and for Liu Zongmin, he has long wanted to play to death.
When Liu Zongmin heard this, he really relented, Huzi was trying to fight for Liu Zongmin, but Zhu Qing didn't want to give him this opportunity at all. Hit the railroad while it was hot, "Don't you still understand who those assassins in Baihualou are targeting?" ”
"What are those assassins coming from?" Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, seems to really care about this issue. He originally thought that the forces that eliminated the stronghold of the Chuang army in the capital should be Jinyiwei, but the incident in Baihualou made him think more, maybe there were other forces secretly dealing with him.
"Nadamon." Zhu Qing said without thinking.
As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar, and Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin gathered face to face. Of course, they knew that there was a time when they seemed to have a good relationship with Nadamon.
Seeing that everyone was taken aback, Suzaku smiled slightly, "It seems that King Chuang is no stranger to Nadamon. ”
"No, no, this king is only the first time he has heard this term, and he is even surprised." Li Zicheng lied a little unnaturally.
Zhu Qing shook his head, "King Chuang is not righteous enough, and it is a loss that Jinyi Wei thinks about the Chuang army everywhere and protects you at all times, but you still can't trust Qinglong, which is really chilling." ”
I didn't expect Zhu Qing to dare to say it, and Li Zicheng was even more dumb. Zhu Qing was able to say such things in public, which means that Jin Yiwei must have mastered Nadamon's situation. Zhu Qingming said that it made Li Zicheng even more guilty, no matter what the reason, Jinyiwei was indeed good to them during this time.
"Li was ashamed, but he really didn't know why General Qinglong said this." Even if he felt guilty in his heart, Li Zicheng couldn't show the slightest at this time, and he wanted to hold the momentum that he had won back with great difficulty.
Chuang Jun is tough and shameless, and Zhu Qing doesn't need to give face anymore.
Zhu Qing sneered, didn't say anything more, he snapped his fingers above the court. Suddenly, a figure walked into the temple.
"The last general will meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." This person who pays attention to the courtesy of the monarch and the minister is Liu Qingfeng, who has been submerged for a long time.
"Liu Aiqing is exempt. Say, what have you done? Because it was Zhu Qing's summons, Chongzhen did not pursue Liu Qingfeng's unannounced presence on the spot, after all, he also knew that the Ming Court at this time was counterattacked by Li Zicheng as an offensive position, as a king, he didn't want this kind of thing to happen.
"The minister has a token to present to the emperor." Liu Qingfeng responded.
"Bring it on!" As soon as Chongzhen beckoned, Wang Chengen took a letter from Liu Qingfeng's hand and presented it to Chongzhen.
His Highness was waiting to see what kind of twist this sudden letter would bring.
Chongzhen opened it and looked at it, his face was a little solemn.
"The emperor is angry." Zhu Qing knows how to observe words and emotions best.
Everyone was frightened when they heard this, and then looked at Chongzhen, their faces were pale.
"The ministers ask the emperor to calm his anger." Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren and others also knelt down one after another, these old guys who fought in the political arena naturally knew how to act best. When Li Zicheng and the others saw it, they were even more worried. What kind of letter is this?
Li Zicheng glanced at Zhu Qing, hoping that he could give himself a look, because he obviously felt that the Chuang army was approaching Chongzhen's bottom line step by step, even if it was a dynasty that was about to decay, its king was still arrogant! The king's words are still true!
But Zhu Qing's words reminded Chongzhen that there are many ways to exert power, and it is the best policy to surrender without a fight, and it is the most convincing to take the enemy in silence.
"Princess, pass the letter to King Chuang and the generals." Chongzhen forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and handed the letter to Wang Chengen.
"Yes." Wang Chengen came to Li Zicheng with the letter.
"Please, King Chuang." Zhu Qing gestured.
Li Zicheng was apprehensive about the result of the letter, opened it and looked at it, his face was shocked, he never imagined that this letter would fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei!
"What does King Chuang think? If you think that it is natural for our Jinyi Guard to help you solve the assassin of Baihualou, and even help Gui Qianjin to solve the assassin of Damon, then ......" Before Zhu Qing finished speaking, Li Zicheng panicked, "What? Something happened to Feng'er? ”
Obviously, Li Zicheng didn't know about Nadamon's infiltration of Chengdong Village, more precisely, he still didn't know where Li Yufeng was, although he was worried about his daughter, he couldn't let go of his desire for power.
At this time, Zhu Qing asked Chongzhen for instructions, took a step forward and said, "That Damon learned of the whereabouts of the Jade Phoenix girl in the capital, and carried out further assassination operations after the defeat of Baihualou. At this point, there is no trouble. ”
Li Zicheng was surprised and delighted, surprised that his daughter had experienced such a setback, but he didn't know it at all, and happily, Jinyiwei finally saved his daughter's life.
"Li is grateful to Jinyiwei and Lord Suzaku." Li Zicheng hugged Suzaku with his fist, and everyone had reason to believe that Li Zicheng's thank you was sincere, because in his peace conditions, rescuing his daughter Li Yufeng was written in the headlines.
"King Chuang is polite, Suzaku is just following the orders of the emperor and Lord Qinglong." Suzaku is obviously very good at talking.
Li Zicheng could see from Suzaku's words and deeds that Suzaku had really been injured, perhaps in normal times, the injury of a leader of Jinyiwei was not a great pleasure for them to break into the army, but now Li Zicheng felt a little more sorry in his heart.
"Now King Chuang still thinks that fighting Tartars is just a matter for the court? Obviously, Dorgon doesn't really want to be friends with you! In order to provoke the contradiction between the army and the court, they did not hesitate to use the killer group Nadamon to sneak attack the army, and even the daughter of the king of Chuang became the target of their use. You can't conquer even a little Kaifeng of mine, are you sure to resist the millions of iron horsemen of the Tartars? "If the first half of Zhu Qing is just a method of agitation, then the second half is definitely a lesson left by history. Zhu Qing read the history, Li Zicheng simply could not resist the Qing army entering the customs and going south.
Zhu Qing's words caused a lot of controversy in the court for a while, because Chongzhen and those ministers were not fools, everyone knew the meaning of Zhu Qing's words, and even Kill Feng and others sweated for him, and if he didn't get it right, he would be guilty of killing his head.
However, Chongzhen was surprisingly calm, judging from the current situation, maybe Zhu Qing just said something heavier.
"I ......" Li Zicheng is stuck!
Chongzhen took the opportunity to enter and slapped Longtai angrily, "I have endured it three times and five times, and let Jinyiwei wait for you everywhere, but I didn't expect to raise a white-eyed wolf!" Come! Arrest these traitorous rebels! ”
Long Yan was furious, and his seat was shocked, and someone had already knelt down to plead.
Dongfang Bai and Yan Shi Niang, the two townspeople, led the Jinyi guards to surround the main hall, Liu Qingfeng clapped his hands, and the Imperial Forest Army also poured out of the hall.
Things changed so fast that Li Zicheng and the others couldn't react at all, and they didn't even have a weapon to resist at this time!
"Your Majesty! The sin of the minister! But this is all Xiang Bo's own opinion, I don't know about this letter! "At the moment of crisis, Li Zicheng's knees are weak, although he has an army of one million, but at this time he is far away in Kaifeng, even if Chongzhen destroys their gang, presumably the army will not be able to do anything, the key is to die himself, and the descendants are cheaper! As a last resort, Li Zicheng pushed the matter of the conspiracy between the Chuang army and Nadamon to the already dead military advisor Xiang Bo.
"Your Majesty! That Xiang Bo is insidious and cunning, King Chuang must have been fooled by Uncle Xiang, and the minister dared to implore the emperor to take back his order and pardon King Chuang and others for the crime of ignorance! "Zhu Qing's request was just right and timely.
When Chongzhen heard this, he glanced at Zhu Qing, smiled at the corner of his mouth, but shouted in his mouth, "I have a golden mouth, how can I be a child's play if I say it." Today, either you wait for the contract to be signed, and I promise you that none of your conditions will fall, and tomorrow you can release your precious daughter; Either they will be tried in prison and punished as rebels. If you are obsessed with it again, correct the Fa on the spot! Chongzhen undoubtedly gave Li Zicheng another step.
"The emperor's grace is vast, and the ministers are willing to sign a contract!" At this point, Li Zicheng's reasonableness and even his means were controlled by Jinyiwei Laolao. Compromise is the only way out in front of us, and we will escape this catastrophe first.
"Good! Historian, pen and ink waiting! Chongzhen shouted. An offensive and defensive switch, and the deceitful negotiations finally ended with Li Zicheng's compromise.
