readx;
The Jinyi Guard and the Imperial Forest Army dispersed one after another. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Li Zicheng signed the peace document, and the Ming court recruited An Chuang Jun in words, forms, and laws.
According to Zhu Qing's arrangement, once Zhao'an succeeded, a ceremony would be held immediately to comfort these soldiers who had just been frightened.
The award ceremony was very grand, from the generalissimo to the general, Li Zicheng and his generals were recognized by the imperial court for the first time and knighted. This is the most glorious rebel hero. But no one knows how much they paid for the day, and almost gave them their lives.
At the end of the awarding ceremony, Li Zicheng walked down from the dragon chair with a cup and came to Li Zicheng's side.
This man is fighting with me for the world!
But the man's struggle is delicate at this moment.
Chongzhen smiled slightly and raised his glass, "King Chuang, the generalissimo of the conquest after me, you and I have been fighting for several years, but I didn't expect to have a day of drinking together, come, I salute you!" ”
Whether it's hypocrisy or hypocrisy, whether it's a fake drama or a real one, in the face of Chongzhen's words, Li Zicheng sighed with emotion, maybe he just wanted to eat at first, but when he felt that he didn't just want to eat, he took a fancy to all the men in front of him, but today, he hasn't done it yet. His opponent was stronger than he thought.
"The last will be terrified." Li Zicheng behaved humbly and lowered the wine glass again.
"To tell you the truth, I really wanted to kill you at first, but Zhu Qing told me that King Chuang couldn't kill you. Only then did I understand what it meant to 'open the gates of the city, meet the king, and enter the city without food...... and rest assured, I will definitely do what I promised you, but I hope you will not forget the conditions you promised. The words have been spoken, and Chongzhen has nothing to pretend. recruited Li Zicheng, not only quelled the war in the country, but also increased the army of millions of enemies, this is a deal that only makes money and does not lose money, and he really can't make the buyer anxious anymore. Maybe he didn't have enough chips, but in the critical moment of the Ming Dynasty, the slightest sound could lead to annihilation.
"Please rest assured, the emperor has promised to recruit peace, and the Tartars are against my army everywhere, and the minister will live up to the name of the emperor and the generalissimo of the last generalissimo." Li Zicheng also swore an oath.
"Good! According to the agreement, I will ask Zhu Qing and others to take you to see your daughter early tomorrow morning, and after noon, your people and all the rewards will be on the road immediately, but I have to wronged you to stay with me for a few days. Chongzhen smiled at the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, Emperor. The last will be the first to do it. Hearing that he could rescue his daughter early tomorrow morning and return to the camp on time, Li Zicheng was overjoyed, so he took a sip of the wine.
"King Chuang is really refreshing! Dry! Chongzhen also sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman and drank the wine in one gulp.
However, at this time, Zhu Qing could not be found at the banquet.
He had already returned to the Bird Cat Villa early, and the matter of recruiting was finalized, and tomorrow they would escort Li Zicheng's reward back to Kaifeng, but he felt a little uneasy.
"What? Things have come to an end, and you are still so sad? Ning Er asked with concern.
Zhu Qing took a deep breath and walked to the window, not far from the window, Chengdong Village. From the capital, it is so tranquil that it seems to be a paradise.
"I'm still not at ease." Zhu Qing looked in the direction of Chengdong Village and said worriedly.
"Are you worried about Chen Yuanyuan and Miss Yufeng?" Ning Er seemed to see Zhu Qing's thoughts.
Zhu Qing nodded but didn't speak, since he had already recruited An, he didn't have to worry about Li Yufeng anymore, but Chen Yuanyuan was a knot in his heart that he couldn't let go, in addition to the old feelings, there was also the shadow of history.
"King Chuang can't stay!" Zhu Qing muttered suddenly.
When Ning Er heard this, she was taken aback, "What? Didn't you persuade the emperor that the king couldn't be killed? ”
"The army is untrustworthy, I'm afraid this is another fraud. Let the tiger return to the mountain, and the future will be endless. Zhu Qing pondered.
"What then? You can't just tie up Li Zicheng, right? "Of course Ning'er also knows the ruffian nature of the army, how can the words of the thief be trusted?"
"No, I'm going to attack the Face Saint." Zhu Qing seemed to have thought of another way.
After the conferral dinner was over, everyone dispersed, and Zhu Qing left to Chongzhen's dormitory while the army was drunk.
If the first few times Li Zicheng and his generals just pretended to be drunk, then this time, I am afraid they were really drunk, because this was the last night they stayed in the capital, the night they came back to life, and maybe it was also the night they crossed the sea in secret.
"Knock knock knock......" Chongzhen's bedroom made three slight knocks on the door. A dark shadow fell in front of Chongzhen's door.
"Who?" Chongzhen asked vigilantly, the turmoil had already made him sleep in a state of battle.
"It's me, Qinglong." Softly and simply, the door was opened.
Just dealt with a heart disease in his heart, but Chongzhen did not slack off at all, even after a few glasses of wine, he did not flop, and even the queen did not let the waiter sleep.
"I knew you were back." Chongzhen looked at Zhu Qing affectionately, their monarchs and ministers joined hands to stage a good show in the main hall today, and achieved a historic harvest.
"Your Majesty, Qinglong has something important to discuss." Zhu Qing said very seriously.
Chongzhen nodded, he took a sip of tea to sober himself up, Zhu Qing came to him in the middle of the night, saying that there was something important to discuss, it must not be a trivial matter.
"You say." Chongzhen closed the last window and motioned to Zhu Qing.
"The king can't stay!" Zhu Qing got straight to the point.
When Chongzhen heard this, he stopped the cup in his hand and glanced at Zhu Qing in surprise, "What?" You told me today that you can't kill King Chuang. How......? ”
Just when Chongzhen was puzzled, Zhu Qing continued, "King Chuang can stay for the time being, but his sharp spirit will be killed!" ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he was even more puzzled, "Didn't we kill his sharpness today?" Think of him in the temple, he has surrendered to me. ”
Zhu Qing shook his head, "No, Nu Qinglong said bluntly, you all don't know Li Zicheng and Chuang Jun too well. ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he nodded silently, it is true, compared to Zhu Qing's confrontation with Li Zicheng on the front line, these logistics monarchs can only understand the situation through the mouths and intelligence of the officials. But he didn't expect that Zhu Qing had a lot of actual combat experience and a lot of historical materials.
"Go on." Chongzhen really wanted to know what Li Zicheng or Zhu Qing thought of Li Zicheng.
"Today's surrender, not to mention that he is not convinced, even if he is convinced, once he returns to his camp, has a million soldiers, and receives a large number of court rewards, won't he be even more sharp?"
Chongzhen nodded, he naturally understood this truth, and he didn't think about it.
From Chongzhen's expression, Zhu Qing knew that this reason was not what Chongzhen needed most.
"The minister said that to kill him is to cut off his left and right!" Zhu Qing said in a deep voice.
When Chongzhen heard this, his eyes lit up. After pondering for a long time, he nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder Li Zicheng agreed to stay and let his lieutenant go back first." ”
Chongzhen could figure it out, and Zhu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"There are still millions of soldiers in the camp, if Liu Zongmin, Huzi and other generals return to the camp, plus Zhang Xianzhong, the king of Daxi, these people are all generals who do not pay attention to the rules but are brave, I'm afraid they can't be subdued with a piece of paper, right?" Zhu Qing prompted.
Chongzhen nodded and asked, "You want to get rid of these people and cut off Li Zicheng's right-hand man?" ”
Zhu Qing smiled slightly, "Only in this way can Li Zicheng be truly tamed!" Zhu Qing said at the end, and his tone was a little mysterious. Even Chongzhen couldn't help but look at the wisdom and courage in front of him proudly, and a trace of a thought flashed in his mind.
Zhu Qing saw unprecedented danger in Chongzhen's eyes, this is a suspicious man, but he is also an emperor! Zhu Qing suddenly thought of Han Xin for a moment. But he told himself that he was not as good as Han Shin. Chongzhen is not as talented as Liu Bang, diligence can make up for clumsiness, but choice is sometimes more important than hard work, in fact, there is no shortage of generals in the late Ming Dynasty, but the result is either a loyal martyr or a traitor, which has a lot to do with Chongzhen's rule.
"Presumably General Qinglong already has an idea?" Chongzhen asked tentatively.
Zhu Qing nodded, but was silent.
"Why don't you tell me about it?" Chongzhen asked.
"Qinglong doesn't dare!" Zhu Qing hugged his fists.
"Oh? Why? Chongzhen was shocked, could it be that he had already seen my thoughts?
And Zhu Qing's answer really surprised Chongzhen, "Qinglong is worried that the emperor will kill Qinglong." ”
Even the thoughts that flashed inadvertently were guessed by Zhu Qing, Chongzhen was a little restless, "Joke, you are my favorite general, how could I kill you?" ”
"Han Xin was also Liu Bang's favorite general." Zhu Qing said bluntly.
The best way for a suspicious person to deal with it is to speak directly about his inner suspicions, so that he can undoubtedly guess!
Chongzhen really smiled unnaturally, "Do you think I am Liu Bang?" ”
Zhu Qing shook his head, "Qinglong is not Han Xin. ”
"Then you don't want to say it quickly?" Chongzhen leadership.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhu Qing said, and approached Chongzhen's ear......
After hearing this, Chongzhen nodded and smiled, "Okay!" It's up to you to do this, and tomorrow morning I will issue an edict at once. If you delay the big thing, I will make you a second Hanshin! ”
"The last general obeys!" Zhu Qing said, exited Chongzhen's dormitory, left the palace overnight, and sneaked back to the Bird Villa.
