Chapter 870: Finally Understood

On March 19, Li Zicheng occupied the capital and entered the Forbidden City, on April 13, Li Zicheng led a large army to Shanhaiguan to conquer, less than a month before and after, on April 23, Zheng's army occupied the capital, and since then, Li Zicheng has never had the opportunity to enter the capital.

I'm afraid no one thought of such an ending.

Those officials, scholars and scholars who couldn't wait to take refuge in Li Zicheng were dumbfounded, they were originally the masters of the Ming Dynasty, and when the Ming Dynasty overturned, they did not hesitate to choose to submit to the future Emperor Dashun, and even when they met Li Zicheng, they had already shouted out the emperor in their mouths, but their butts were not yet hot, and huge changes appeared again.

On this day, many people suffered, and they regretted not waiting for a few days.

Zheng Xunrui didn't have time to take care of these things at this time, Zheng Jiajun had occupied the Forbidden City and controlled the entire palace, but Zheng Xunrui did not enter the palace, Zheng Jiajun discipline was strict, no one would wander in the palace before receiving the order, and the soldiers of the scout camp who entered the palace first stood in the designated position honestly to protect the stability of the palace.

Zheng Xunrui is in Wenyuan Pavilion at the moment.

This is the place where the Ming Cabinet deliberates, it is funny to say, Zheng Xunrui, who is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion in the Ming Dynasty, actually entered Wenyuan Pavilion for the first time, and when he was named a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, he was already independent of the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Xunrui is waiting for a person, this person has an unusual strategy, if it weren't for this person, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and other rogues might have been wiped out long ago, and the direction of the Ming Dynasty would be very different.

This person is Li Zicheng's first strategist Gu Junen.

Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo, the so-called prime minister of the Great Shun Dynasty, who was actually in charge of all matters in the capital, was already on the inner city wall, and when Zheng Jiajun collected the corpse, Zheng Xunrui spoke. Buried Li Guo, no matter what, Li Guo left a heavy mark in history.

When Gu Junen was brought to Wenyuan Pavilion, his face was very calm.

When Zheng Jiajun rushed into the room, Gu Junen did not resist, and he knew that resistance would have no effect. At that moment, he suddenly felt relieved, maybe he, the strategist of the Dashun Dynasty, had completed his historical mission, and was able to help Li Zicheng capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and to let Li Zicheng enter the palace, which was already very good, satisfied, and there were few people in the world who could do this.

Gu Junen remembered Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, after King Chuang occupied the capital. did not forget these two people, after all, the betrayal of these two people caused the righteous army to suffer heavy losses, but Gu Junen made a statement, imploring King Chuang to forgive these two people, King Chuang adopted his advice, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance were able to survive.

At that time, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance knelt in front of him Gu Junen, crying loudly. and expressed his willingness to follow his side forever, Gu Junen unceremoniously rejected the two. made it clear that the reason why he interceded for the two was because the two still had a certain amount of merit in the rebel army.

At that moment, Gu Junen didn't feel happy and proud in his heart, and he didn't despise Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, he felt very strange about how he felt at that time. Natural selection, survival of the fittest, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance may not be wrong, there are a few people like him who can always follow Li Zicheng.

Despite the occupation of the capital. But Gu Junen has never been easy, he has also carefully analyzed, but he doesn't understand the reason, until the Zheng family soldiers rushed into the house, his mystery was solved, it turned out that he had never thought in his heart that it was not Li Zicheng who could really rule the world, but Zheng Xunrui.

Since the day has come so soon, what can be done other than peaceful acceptance.

Therefore, when Gu Junen entered Wenyuan Pavilion, not only did he look calm, but his mood was also calm.

"Gu Junen, please sit down, this is Hong Xinyu, the deputy chief soldier of the Zheng family, there is no one else, let's have a good chat."

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, His Royal Highness the King of Xiang is gracious, and I have learned in the next place, and I will meet Deputy General Hong."

Gu Junen was not polite, and after saluting Hong Xinyu with a fist, he sat down at the bottom of the head.

Behind Zheng Xunrui stood Hong Xinyu, and other than that, there was really no one else.

"Gu Junen, I think you're probably a little confused, Li Zicheng is so brave, for more than ten years, he has suffered countless setbacks and failures, but in the end he has survived, but after entering the capital, he will suffer a lightning failure, all this seems to be a little unreasonable, can you tell me what you think."

Gu Junen was stunned for a moment, looked at Zheng Xunrui, and his face gradually turned pale.

It was the first time he saw Zheng Xunrui, and when he entered the house, he felt an unusual atmosphere, Zheng Xunrui looked very peaceful, but the majesty and wisdom were revealed in the peace, Zheng Xunrui's face was smiling, but a pair of eyes could see through people's hearts.

I am afraid that this is the real emperor's appearance, Gu Junen has been by Li Zicheng's side for many years, and he has never felt such an aura.

"I really didn't expect that everything was too fast, just like when the rebels entered the capital, many questions didn't have time to think, maybe King Chuang didn't have the emperor's assets, so he shouldn't have entered the capital."

Zheng Xunrui smiled and shook his head.

"This explanation is too far-fetched, fourteen years ago, when Li Zicheng began to rebel, who would have thought that he would be able to occupy the capital of the Ming Dynasty, force Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself, and enter the Forbidden City, if someone said such a prophecy at that time, wouldn't he be considered crazy."

Gu Junen looked at Zheng Xunrui, his expression became serious, he stood up and saluted Zheng Xunrui.

"I don't understand the reason, so I beg Your Highness to solve your doubts."

Zheng Xunrui raised his hand and motioned for Gu Junen to sit down.

"In this world, everyone wants to be the emperor, why, because the emperor controls the world, wakes up the sword of killing, is drunk and lies on the knees of beauties, has supreme power, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, it is precisely because of these halos that countless people are crazy for the throne, their own flesh and blood can be killed, fathers and sons can turn against each other, ethics can be ignored, thousands of years of history, the sadness and fil......th in it"

Gu Junen listened very carefully, for fear of missing a word.

"Li Zicheng is a person, the rebellion can have the momentum it has today, he is indeed a hero, history will not forget him, but he is also a reckless hero, he doesn't understand a lot of truths, he can take the world immediately, how can he govern the world immediately."

"Mencius said, the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light, many people are catchy, but unfortunately there are a few people who really understand the truth, and Emperor Chongzhen, who hanged himself, also did not understand the truth."

"What does it mean to ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Honor, not enjoyment, not power, not majesty, not to be rich all over the world, but responsibility, a responsibility higher than the sky and deeper than the sea."

"Let me give you an example, you have seen a lot of streams in the mountain streams, the water of the streams is clear and bright, and all those who pass by in the mountains, or those who hunt, take the water from the stream to drink, and its water is sweet and mellow, so that people cannot forget it."

"There are a lot of debris in the mountains, and the stream water is often buried, but these debris can always be discarded, and the so-called flowing water does not rot."

"This stream is like a king, and these debris are like the many difficulties and setbacks encountered by the king, as long as the source is cleaned, the impurities can always be removed."

"But there is one thing that is very terrible, if the water of this small stream itself is poisonous, imagine what the result will be if it flows through the mountain stream, if the king himself does not have noble sentiments, can not think of the common people in the world, and always cares about his own enjoyment, or firmly holds on to power, and acts recklessly, what kind of situation will it be."

"The mountains abandon the poisonous streams, and the people overthrow the desolate king, this is the inevitability of history."

"Emperor Chongzhen is diligent, self-denying, it should not be such an ending, but it is a pity that he received a chaotic world that can no longer be chaotic, he is ambitious and talented, and he is unable to govern at all, he plays with power, capricious, and makes his subordinates feel cold, in such a situation, how can he not perish, but unfortunately, how good it is to be an ordinary person."

"Li Zicheng entered the capital, thinking that everything was stable, thinking that he could be the emperor in peace, he forgot why he rebelled in the first place, he forgot who supported him to enter the capital, he forgot his own responsibility, entered the palace, he was going to enjoy the fruits of victory, he had to do whatever he wanted, didn't he know that Beizhili was still in dire straits, didn't he know that the people were still suffering in pain, but unfortunately Li Zicheng couldn't see this, he completely abandoned his original beliefs, but he didn't know where there was such a good thing in the world."

"If the Zheng family army does not enter the capital, the Eight Banners Army will also enter the capital, and Li Zicheng is not qualified to sit in the world......"

Gu Junen's heart continued to sink, all the doubts in his heart were solved, and Zheng Xunrui's words were enlightenment.

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Gu Junen slowly stood up.

He knelt in front of Zheng Xunrui, after so many years, even in the face of Li Zicheng, who had entered the palace, he had never knelt down.

"Your Royal Highness's golden and jade good words, under the teaching, the court heard that the Tao can die, it is impossible for King Chuang to understand these truths, only His Royal Highness can govern in this world, and he is pursuing these truths in the next life, but he can not fully understand, he is satisfied today, His Royal Highness must be the monarch admired by all generations, if the world is governed by His Royal Highness, how can the people suffer so much......"

Zheng Xunrui looked at Gu Junen and didn't speak, he had no intention of recruiting Gu Junen, and he also knew that Gu Junen would not betray Li Zicheng, it was in front of someone like Gu Junen that it was possible for him to say these words.

These words may seem like empty words, but this is Zheng Xunrui's true thoughts in his heart, he really has no intention of enjoying it, at least before the world is peaceful, he has no intention of enjoying it.

The next day, the sergeant came to report that Gu Junen hanged himself and died, leaving nothing behind.

After Zheng Xunrui heard the report, he didn't say anything, but just ordered Gu Junen to be buried thickly. (To be continued.) )
