Li Zicheng slapped on the seat with a "snap" and smashed the armrest.

"What the military advisor said is very much in line with me!"

Then, Li Zicheng immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Tomorrow the whole team will beat the drum and attack at three o'clock!" The whole army went out together, divided into ten echelons and took turns to fight, the onslaught did not stop, and some did not retreat, and immediately cut the front of the formation; There are those who bravely climb first, and each first level will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and those who have won the battle will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver regardless of whether they are caught alive or dead, and the official will be promoted to three levels! ”

As soon as these words landed, all the generals in the tent showed anticipation, and Li Zicheng glanced at Li Guo, who had lost the battle for two days in a row, and snorted coldly: "You are allowed to make meritorious service for your crimes, and you will be the vanguard tomorrow - it is only three things, if you are defeated again, you will come and see you by yourself!" ”

Li Guo promised repeatedly, and Li Zicheng turned his head and issued a new order to Tian Jianxiu: "You take 5,000 people to the battle to supervise the army, and tomorrow when someone retreats, you will correct the law on the spot!" ”

Tian Jian Xiulang responded: "Yes! ”

Li Zicheng nodded heavily, and then let out a hearty laugh: "The total number of our army is a hundred times that of the defenders of Ningwu Pass, how can we not defeat that palm-sized pass with this sea of people tactics?!" ”

The generals echoed loudly, and Li Zicheng was also proud in his heart, as if his confidence in sweeping the world had returned-there is always a limit to people's physical strength, no matter how heroic Zhou Yuji is, it is impossible to fight hundreds of thousands of troops with thousands of remnants...... A stone in his heart was put down, and Li Zicheng hummed the familiar northern Shaanxi tune......

In the second half of the night, another thing was added that made Li Zicheng happy. The personnel sent by Li Yan to Beijing to "work" rushed to see him all night and sent him a handwritten letter from Cao Huachun, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch.

The letter said that as long as it was ensured, Cao's father-in-law's family wealth would not be affected. The gates of Beijing will be opened for the king at that time. After reading the letter, Li Zicheng was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and muttered to himself: "I am indeed the true son of heaven-hmm." This is probably called returning to the world! ”

Sleeping with Li Zicheng was her wife, now called "Queen", Gao Acai, who was just a village girl. But she is the niece of her uncle's predecessor, King Gao Yingxiang, and naturally there is a little bit of meaning in it.

Li Zicheng is also half interested in the village girl like the "queen" Gao Acai, but he has only recently collected Gao Yingxiang's old department, so everyone before and after is very good to Gao Acai, to show that his title of "King Chuang" is orthodox.

Gao Acai is neither illiterate, nor is he a clever and considerate person, watching Li Zicheng keep dancing after being woken up by a letter in the middle of the night, but he didn't tell what was going on, and he subconsciously muttered to him "crazy" in his heart. But. Since he had already become the "emperor" of "Dashun" and he had been named "empress" again, he had no choice but to yawn and go crazy with him, and stared at all the absurdities in front of her with sleepy eyes: she was at a loss in her heart, her head was drowsy, and she had no sense except patience -- Li Zicheng's mouth full of "true destiny" and "returning to the heart of the four seas" meant nothing to her at all.

……

On this night, Emperor Chongzhen in the Palace of Nourishing Heart in Beijing City also launched a high fever, and the whole person was confused. Just lying straight on the dragon bed......

In a daze, the dark narrow alleys seemed to be endless, and Emperor Chongzhen crawled forward, his nose and face swollen in the dark night when he couldn't see his fingers, but there were countless leather whips on his back. He had to move forward, and there was no exit in front of him, leaving him in darkness forever...... My chest was so tight that I couldn't breathe. He struggled desperately. The whip whipped him to the point of exhaustion, and it hurt his heart. Suddenly. His forehead hit a plank and he barely grabbed it. But it was the tablet of the ancestors and the ancestors, and Emperor Chongzhen woke up from the nightmare and couldn't help crying bitterly.

The muscles on his face twitched and twisted, tears overflowed from his closed eyes, two pale lips trembled, and his hair, which was half black and half gray, already thinned by excessive shedding, twisted with his skull without lustre, but was stuck in cold sweat for most of it.

Emperor Chongzhen was lying on the dragon bed, his body was covered in a beautifully embroidered brocade quilt, his head was resting on a yellow pillow embroidered with flying dragons, and the bright colors set off his withered wood more and more, and it became more and more that these dragon-shaped patterns around him were like monsters that tortured him, making him torture.

Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, waited in front of the dragon bed for several days, not daring to leave a step, and crying sadly from time to time. Emperor Chongzhen fell ill, and he was in a coma for two whole days and nights, and his emotions fell to the bottom first after he heard the news.

Wang Chengen was so worried, and kept repeating in his heart: How could he get sick at this critical 100,000 urgent juncture, it's really fatal!

Of course, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen was oppressed by the bad news that came one after another, and he couldn't support it mentally...... Standing in front of the dragon bed, Wang Chengen recognized it several times when Emperor Chongzhen was whispering, it was calling his mother. Wang Chengen was sad when he heard it, and the past of more than 20 years ago came to his heart, and the young Emperor Chongzhen woke up from a nightmare, and cried in his arms and called his mother......

With tears in his eyes, Wang Chengen couldn't help but mutter: "My emperor, who let you be born in the emperor's family?" He has suffered so many living sins, and he has been an emperor for ten years, and he has not lived a good life......"

Wang Chengen even had a trace of regret in his meditation: he should have secretly escaped from the palace with him twenty years ago, hid in the countryside as a common man, and spent his life farming and raising chickens.

Emperor Chongzhen was taken care of by him since he was a child, and he looked at Chongzhen from a different perspective than others. In Wang Chengen's eyes, Emperor Chongzhen was a person, a child, and an orphan without a father or mother. He clearly remembered that year, at the risk of killing his head, he secretly took him out of the palace to look at his mother's grave......

Silently shedding tears, Wang Chengen's heart was mixed with the sourness of infinite pain.

When the sky was about to break, Emperor Chongzhen finally came to his senses, and he looked at Wang Chengen, who was guarding in front of the bed, and struggled to get up.

Wang Chengen saw that the emperor woke up, and the stone in his heart was finally put down, he hurriedly walked to the emperor and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, how do you feel?" Do you want the slave to tell the maid to get something to eat? ”

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said weakly: "I can't eat, you go and inform the concubines Gong Yonggu and Liu Wenbing, and enter the palace immediately to meet you!" ”

Wang Chengen looked at the sky, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't make any sound, and after a while, he answered: "The old slave obeys the order!" (To be continued.) )
