Chongzhen has nourished a lot during this time, his heart is wide and his body is fat, and he has more blessings. But the majesty of an emperor is not hidden at all, and it is still so strong and intimidating. In this regard, Li Zicheng, the Dashun Emperor who was promoted step by step from a postman, is somewhat inferior.

But for Chongzhen, his royal background is an advantage, and the disadvantage is that he has not experienced war, but he is missing something for domineering and imperial prestige. He didn't understand it before, but when he saw Li Zicheng, he understood, and he was a little less murderous and resolute. This guy came out step by step in the pile of dead people, he didn't have the emperor's domineering, but he had a little more Xiao Xiao's killing intent, and when he looked at each other, he would have a chilling feeling.

"Sit!" Chongzhen was the host, and he pointed to the chair in front of him.

"Yes." Li Zicheng was not polite, and sat down directly in front of him.

Everyone is an emperor, and if the momentum is low, it is always bad. The friendship of nodding is probably maintained at such a Cheng dù.

"Tea!" Naturally, a eunuch specifically shouted out of the cabin.

"Is Daming rich? Why do you still use eunuchs? Li Zicheng smiled faintly, and his words were full of disdain.

For eunuchs, Li Zicheng naturally dislikes. Therefore, his palace, like Zhang Hongbin, does not have a eunuch. If there is something that requires great effort, the soldiers on duty will be asked to help, and the palace maid must stay in the room and not show up, otherwise she will be killed. Li Zicheng's woman, others are not allowed to look at it, otherwise it will be a blasphemy against him. However, there is always someone to do the hard work, and he doesn't like eunuchs.

"The ancestors are like this, the emperors of all dynasties are like this, and there are some things that are understandable to be inherited. It's better than one careless, so many palace maids have to be innocently killed, right? Chongzhen didn't get angry, he just led the matter to the inheritance.

It also seems to imply that you Li Zicheng is not rightly named.

"Sharp teeth, I, a rough man, naturally can't fight. But I'm not here to fight with you this time, just call me, won't you just invite me to a cup of tea? Li Zicheng obviously didn't want to confront Chongzhen in words.

Just like Chongzhen, he doesn't want to fight with Li Zicheng in bravery, even if he has specially practiced some battlefield skills, but compared to Li Zicheng who really fought on the battlefield, it is naturally completely inadequate.

Of course, he is not afraid that Li Zicheng will suddenly attack, and a certain hard thing in his arms is to prevent it from appearing at this moment.

The eunuch served tea, and this eunuch was none other than Chongzhen's most trusted companion, Wang Chengen. The playmates who grew up with Chongzhen since childhood, they can't be trusted, and Chongzhen doesn't know who else he can trust. It's a pity that now Wang Chengen can only be regarded as a big internal manager, but it is impossible to become a real eunuch with a pen or something, after all, the Ming Dynasty is not the same Ming as before.

Fortunately, in the new law, there is no provision that eunuchs cannot be used as Ming people to take the civil service examination. Many eunuchs who went out did not lose their knowledge to anyone, but they were admitted to civil servants, and they were also eunuch officials. However, due to the supervision of the supervising party, power and ambition are limited. However, being able to go from the palace to the outside to officially become a real power official, and returning to his hometown can be regarded as a very face-saving one. You must know that even if they were able to become eunuchs in the previous Ming Dynasty, they might not have face in their hometown, just looking at Wei Zhongxian's hometown, there are few happy ones.

There is a real eunuch in the township, this is not a glorious ancestor, but a shame......

"Not just a cup of tea, of course...... And a lunch! Chongzhen smiled.

"You!" Li Zicheng felt as if he had been tricked.

"That is, if our conversation ends smoothly." Chongzhen added a sentence slyly, which made Li Zicheng so choked that he could only sit back.

"It doesn't seem interesting to fight, I also know a little bit about your latest reform measures, and the lack of reform talents in this area is likely to be worse than our first reform in the Ming Dynasty. You should know what happened after our first reform. Don't think I'm alarmist, this is our investigation report, the results and presuppositions reached by our people after the investigation in Dashun. Chongzhen didn't intend to joke anymore, but just took out a stack of essays on the table next to him and handed it to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng didn't look at it, something too esoteric looked too troublesome for him to stand it. So looking at this article, it was Song Xiance who had been standing next to him.

Song Xiance is indeed unforgettable, or he has already had a draft, so he just read it for three minutes, and he has already put the text together. At the same time, he nodded towards Li Zicheng, indicating that the other party's investigation results did not exceed the preset range.

Li Zicheng's face sank, because the affairs of his own country actually surpassed his own understanding of it by others, and no emperor could accept this.

"How are you doing?" Li Zicheng simply went straight to the topic.

"Cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and division is harmful to both. Recently, I have slightly accepted some of the views of Zhang Hongbin's guy, and I feel that if a country continues to be divided, it is still the Chinese people who will suffer. We are all of Chinese Miao descent, and we have common interests. The most important thing is that our enemies are too strong to be broken by others alone, but a simple alliance is not strong.

Seriously, I thought about this decision for a long time, and I wasn't going to agree with it at first. But for the unification of China and the Ming Dynasty, I still came.

Yes, in my capacity as Emperor Daming, I officially propose the merger. In other words, if we both agree, Da Ming and Da Shun will become a new country. Our resources are shared, our technology is shared, and our talents are shared. We will work together so that we can defeat the Republic and then unify the country. Chongzhen finally said it, held it for a long time, endured it for a long time, but at this moment he was completely relaxed.

Li Zicheng and Song Xiance looked at Chongzhen in surprise, they didn't expect that Chongzhen, who had always advocated the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, would actually propose a merger.

flipped through the plan again, but Song Xiance felt that this may not be impossible, but the premise is what Dashun can get.

Li Zicheng also had a good understanding of this, and without waiting for Song Xiance to say anything, he raised his head directly and said, "I, what can I get?" What guarantees do you have? ”

"The emperor, it is still the Ming royal family, no one is allowed to change this, this is my final bottom line. However, in the new state, the power of the emperor was further delegated in terms of law, and only the control of military power would not change, and even the intelligence bureau would become a department of the state, subject to the supervision of the supervising party.

You will be the first Prime Minister of the Republic, and you will continue to do so until you retire, and you will not be inferior to me in terms of actual power.

The supervisory party and the ruling party will be reorganized and rebuilt, and in the future, there will be both your people and my people in the supervisory party and the ruling party, and everyone will not suffer any losses. As for the military aspect, the capable go up, the incompetent go down, and the old retire, but no matter what the situation, the political commissar must be equipped, and the principal of the military academy must be me, which is also my bottom line. Emperor Chongzhen put forward his own bargaining chips.

Li Zicheng did not answer immediately, but looked at Song Xiance.

Song Xiance was thinking and weighing, and only nodded after five minutes.

"Let's eat!" Li Zicheng sighed.

A few years later, his memoirs were written: Why did I give in, perhaps because I was also a child of the Ming Dynasty and had an innate recognition of the Ming Dynasty? Or is it because I am also a Chinese citizen? The republic clearly does not want to fight a civil war, so at most, Dashun and Daming will go to war, and the last to die is still the Chinese people. Cowardly? If the object is Huaxia, it gives people the feeling that it is just a child's coquettishness to their parents. Hate Zhang Hongbin, whose remarks influenced my thinking......
