In the Forbidden City, the Qianqing Palace was quiet, almost audible, Emperor Chongzhen sat in front of the imperial case and frowned at the three-point twists and turns in front of him, his heart was full of joy and sorrow, and he was silent for a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info After half a ring, a faint sigh sounded in the Qianqing Palace, "The two parties insist on their own words, but they are all justified, big companion, who do you say I should believe?" ”

Wang Chengen's heart suddenly suddenly, he bowed down and replied cautiously, "Emperor, these slaves don't know much about military affairs, but the slaves know that compared to Governor Chen Qiyu and Governor Chen, Jimin's words are more worthy of believing. Emperor, do you think that Jimin has ever deceived you since he met you? ”

Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Of course I know that Jimin will not deceive me, but it is really because of this that I am worried in my heart!" Jimin has always been jealous and hateful, he does not rub sand in his eyes, and his heart for the country and the people is good, but the means are too radical, and governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, his character has been impulsive and reckless in the past, and it is often easy to do bad things with good intentions. ”

Wang Chengen nodded hurriedly, and praised in his mouth, "The emperor is like watching the fire, and he knows people's hearts." Jimin's temperament is indeed a little impatient, he is still a little younger, so he needs His Majesty to help Jimin steer the rudder, so as not to lead him astray! ”

Chongzhen rolled his eyes, and secretly said that he was a little younger, Liu Fan was a year older than me, okay. Looking back at the old slave beside him who had been with him until he died, Chongzhen scolded with a smile, "Big companion, don't go around the bend and tell Jimin something nice, don't you know how much I trust Jimin?" Speaking of which, Jimin's big time is indeed good, and it didn't embarrass me. A piece of hard work and faith that is not in vain! ”

Wang Chengen opened his eyebrows and smiled, "That's not it, those ministers in the court have been suppressing bandits for so many years, except for wasting money and food, I haven't seen them accomplish any big things." How long has Jimin been on the front line? I will wipe out all those thieves, I think who dares to chew the root of his tongue this time and say that His Majesty knows no one else! ”

Chongzhen waved his hand and said with a smile, "Daban is wrong this time, Jimin can have this credit today, in addition to his own efforts, it is also thanks to Chen Qiyu's foundation laid in advance." If it weren't for Chen Qiyu's advance planning, it would have been impossible to achieve such a big victory with just the tens of thousands of people who came to Jimin! Therefore, this great achievement is at least half of Chen Qiyu's! It is precisely because of this that according to my guess, Chen Qiyu is probably very dissatisfied with Jimin at the moment! Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent two contradictory copies! ”

"Disagreement?" Wang Chengen was a little puzzled and said, "Emperor, isn't Chen Qiyu joining forces with Jimin now?" Did they have a conflict? ”

Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's not true, Chen Qiyu is a smart person, he won't do that!" But with Jimin's character, he must have suffered a loss, otherwise he wouldn't have asked me for help, I can already imagine Dao Jimin's depressed face, haha..."

Wang Chengen seemed to be infected by Chongzhen's laughter, and couldn't help laughing aloud, and for a while, Qianqing Palace was full of laughter between the two. The laughter came out of the hall, causing the palace maids and eunuchs standing on both sides to look sideways, secretly guessing what kind of happy event caused the emperor to be so happy.

After laughing a few times, Chongzhen suddenly frowned, picked up the piece of the case that belonged to Liu Fan, and sighed, "Jimin is anxious, I can understand his thoughts, but how can I bear to kill so many suffering people!" Big companion, draft a holy decree and tell Chen Qiyu that the first evil can be punished, and the rest will be forgiven! Most of those people were hungry and cold, unable to survive, and were bewitched by others, so they had to take risks! In the end, I am my people, so let's give them a way to live! ”

After Chongzhen's will was issued, it was delivered to Chen Qiyu in just three days. Chen Qiyu was overjoyed after receiving Chongzhen's will, and the emperor still adopted his opinion. To be honest, Chen Qiyu is not greedy for the money sent by the rogue, and he has his own considerations. Liu Fan is only a small part of the reason, but it is not the main reason. Chen Qiyu was able to achieve the position of governor of the five provinces, and in just one month, he was able to subdue the officials and troops of several provinces.

As an orthodox scholar, he is different from Chen Qiyu's generals, he is not so ruthless, does not advocate too much killing, and advocates "psychological warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom." Attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight". For these desperate rogues, what Chen Qiyu wants to do more is to appease and persuade them to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, return to the embrace of the imperial court, and be a good people again. And only by persuading these people will he pick up the money so that his hands will not be hot.

With the Holy Purpose in hand, Chen Qiyu didn't have to worry about Liu Fan's attitude. He directly ordered the generals to be summoned to read the will of Emperor Chongzhen, and began to begin many matters to recruit the Liukou. Xiang Liukou declared that as long as the bandit leaders Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong were to be released, they would be pardoned for their crimes and allowed to return home to farm.

Chen Qiyu's words caused an uproar among the liukou, and compared with Liu Fan's words, Chen Qiyu's words were undoubtedly more attractive. Moreover, the leaders of the Liukou also believed that Chen Qiyu would not joke about the matter of the Holy Decree. It stands to reason that the officers and soldiers can agree to their surrender, and their strategy is half the success, as long as they surrender, be careful not to show their feet, then it can be said that they can get out safely.

But the prerequisite for the official army is indeed to have the heads of the three people, neither Li Zicheng nor Zhang Xianzhong is a person who can sacrifice himself, and after hearing the news, the two of them couldn't help but hesitate. Gao Yingxiang was able to give up his life, but everyone disagreed, and Gao Yingxiang didn't want to die in vain, so he didn't mention this stubble!

Seeing that everyone looked extremely distressed, Gu Junen smiled and said, "King Chuang, you three don't have to be so troubled, in fact, this matter is easy to solve." We just need to tell Chen Qiyu that King Chuang, didn't you die in battle a few days ago? ”

Li Zicheng hesitated: "Is this okay?" We are the people named by Chongzhen Xiao'er, how can Chen Qiyu easily stop if he doesn't catch us? ”

Gu Junen said with a smile: "General Chuang also said that that is what Emperor Chongzhen meant." Now it is Chen Qiyu who is in charge, not Emperor Chongzhen. As long as we can fool Chen Qiyu, right? ”

Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed when he heard this: "How to deceive? ”

Gu Junen explained, "A few days ago, the Broken Army fought so badly, and we suffered tens of thousands of casualties, so when the time comes, we just need to say that you were seriously injured and died in the previous battles, and then just find a few corpses and hand them over to Chen Qiyu." As long as we insist on it, it will be a few people who are kings, and then Chen Qiyu will be helpless even if he knows that it is fake! (To be continued.) )
