Some people may ask, when did Luo Rucai become a minister?

Actually, the situation at that time, and what happened afterwards, was like this......

Zhang Xianzhong launched an attack, and Luo Rucai naturally couldn't fail to attack, in fact, before he attacked, he gave himself a concept of this operation: gambler.

Yes, this is a gambling attack, and the target is not anywhere else, but Chang'an City, the capital of the Republic! According to Luo Rucai's idea, if the soldiers can be allowed to take down here and capture or kill all the high-ranking officials of the republic, then wouldn't the republic fall into endless civil strife, directly leading it to fall apart and giving them a chance?

Of course, this gamble is not without a price, and the biggest price is that the 20,000 people who went out on the expedition died in a foreign land. Why didn't he go, it's very simple, he didn't drive the army this time. As an emperor, the imperial conquest is the most idiotic behavior, which Luo Rucai thinks so after becoming the emperor. Therefore, he also had a contemptuous attitude towards Zhang Xianzhong's personal expedition, and he couldn't say that he would curse a few words, wishing him to be buried on the battlefield as soon as possible.

In order to highlight his seriousness and importance to this battle, the general Luo Heng personally commanded the army. Before setting out on the expedition, Luo Rucai repeatedly emphasized that if something could not be done, he could surrender directly, and with the ability of the Great Wei State, it would not matter if he was redeemed. Why can it be redeemed, Guy Daily had captured Qin Liangyu by the army of the Republic before, but the matter of returning it to Daming in the form of redemption was published, so that all the forces have this concept: it doesn't matter if important generals surrender at a critical moment, after all, it is easy to get a general by a thousand troops, but it is impossible to let important subordinates fold.

Luo Heng naturally patted his chest and said that he would definitely knock Chang'an down, but it was difficult to say how much he had a certain amount of background. Maybe in his heart, he is also very bottomless, for fear that he will not have time to surrender, so he will die young.

Fortunately, Luo Rucai was not too confident that he could eat Chang'an in one bite, so he gave Luo Heng a basic rule.

If you can attack the border checkpoint in one day, then you can drive straight in, and if you can't beat it in three days, you will enter the confrontation stage and find a way to find a breakthrough. If you can't fight it in ten days, then don't fight and come back directly. But if you can drive straight in, then you can advance to all the places that can be advanced at the fastest speed, including the foot of Chang'an City. But once you encounter the opponent's obstruction, and there is no way to take it immediately, immediately retreat on all fronts, which is not negotiable.

It can be seen that Luo Rucai, a gambler, is actually quite a layman.

The army went out, and Luo Rucai, as the emperor, paid attention to the dynamics of Zhang Xianzhong and Daming on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was silently managing the logistics work. Although he is not an emperor who dares to kill and fight, his IQ and overall view are the highest among all the rebels. He had to make sure that everything was under his control, at least there would be no accidents.

On the second day of the army's expedition, the news that Zhang Xianzhong was blocked in attacking the border pass came back.

He didn't mean to laugh at Zhang Xianzhong, on the contrary, he was very worried, because the military strength of his Great Wei and Great West was similar, and no one could say that their combat effectiveness was stronger. But if Daxi can't defeat the other party's pass, then he is afraid that it will be more difficult, especially if the rear of the pass is directed to Chang'an City, the capital of the republic.

When he returned to the palace in the evening, facing the concubines who finally let go of his heart, Luo Rucai also wanted to enjoy this warm time.

He started from the end of Wei, and his identity was slightly inferior to Li Zicheng who was a postman and Zhang Xianzhong who was a border army, so he was old and single. After the uprising, he liked to be the groom the most, perhaps to make up for the regret of not being treated by women, especially beautiful women.

Every time a town is built, it will inevitably rob the big doors, and even the wives and daughters of officials are wives and concubines. Palace group. However, I was forced to give up a batch earlier, and I regretted it to death, but fortunately, I slowly replenished it in the later stage.

After becoming the emperor, Luo Rucai also began to accept the greedy and lustful temperament, and rejected many gentry who sent his daughters in order to appease him, and devoted himself to the existing queen. In the palace. It's just that most of these women have a grudge against him, except for a few concubines who can smile at him, and the others all have a straight face, even if they give birth to children, they ignore him.

Rao is like this, Luo Rucai is also not angry, or the tiger body shook to play the meaning of the emperor's anger. He is like a good husband in modern times, carefully caring for and pleasing these wives and children. Some people saw that he was so sincere, and he didn't accept any more concubines after becoming the emperor, so they slowly accepted this man who looked a little obscene.

Today, however, it is very different. Why, just because the queen told him, today the prince took his two younger brothers out to play, and he has not returned yet.

These are his only three sons! Even if there are the rest, they are all princesses, as a peasant emperor who started from the end of the world, Luo Rucai also attaches great importance to the inheritance of incense. Of his only three sons, he was more important than anything else.

"Check, even if you turn the entire Xiangyang City upside down for me, you have to find the three princes for me...... By the way, don't let them get hurt. If they lack arms or legs, your whole family will punish me." Luo Rucai called the city guard of Xiangyang City over and scolded viciously.

The entire city of Xiangyang immediately entered a state of martial law, the whole city was closed and could only enter but not leave, and the officials guarding the city were also under great pressure to search from house to house.

The focus is naturally on those outsiders, then the big families, and finally the untouchables.

On the first day, there was no news at all, and all the outsiders had checked and searched at home, but there were no clues at all. The worst thing is that the three princes are out on patrol, and not everyone on the street recognizes the appearance of these three princes, so it is really difficult to find in the vast sea of people.

He also inquired about the guards who had secretly followed them out, only to learn that on a certain main road, because the crowd was too dense, they seemed to be blocked by someone for a second or two, but when they came to their senses, the three princes were gone.

Through guò inquiry, Luo Rucai can probably know one thing, that is, a long-planned kidnapping...... The kidnapping of his three princes!

On the third day, Dali Temple, together with the city guards, investigated all the big households, but there were still no clues. The closure of the city gate for three days has caused a sharp deterioration in the economic situation and public order situation in Xiangyang, many people have not been able to return home, many businesses have not been able to do business, and many butchers have not even been able to buy live pigs. People from outside the city can't enter the city if they want to, and all kinds of supplies can't be transported in at all.

Seeing that Luo Rucai was about to break out, the officials had no other way but to resign.

However, Luo Ru will give them their resignation? If you don't have the ability to resign, if this is approved, then doesn't it give those incompetent officials a chance to fool people?

As a result, the first official to resign was directly pushed to the entrance of the vegetable market and chopped, and it was also the three tribes. It can be seen that Luo Rucai is really hot.

I haven't seen my children for three days, I don't know if they are dead or alive, and whether they have eaten well and dressed warmly in the past three days, as a father, Luo Rucai tossed and turned, couldn't eat, and the life was really painful.

The most important thing is that as the emperor of an empire, he knows that if he doesn't open the city gates, it won't work.

As a result, Xiangyang City was finally opened on the fourth day, but everyone who left the city had to go through a rigorous search, especially those caravans that were rushing to the car, and all the goods had to be unloaded and inspected one by one to ensure that the three princes were not entrained to leave before they could be released.

If it was before, this was a great opportunity for the city gate officials to make money. But this time the matter is very important, seeing so much oil and water flowing in front of his eyes, he can't do it at all, why isn't the city gate official in pain?

There was still no news from the three princes, and even the kidnappers did not issue any conditions, so Luo Rucai didn't know how to face it at all.

Now it is the enemy who is dark and I am clear, and before the enemy surfaces, no one is in a rut.

At the same time, just today, the news that Zhang Xianzhong laid the checkpoint but paid a heavy price came back. At the same time, the news that Luo Heng's army had arrived at the front line and began its first tentative attack on the pass also came.

Seeing the news from Zhang Xianzhong's side, Luo Rucai realized that the situation was not good, and only thought about sending someone over immediately and asking Luo Heng to come back as soon as possible.

On the fifth day, Luo Rucai was about to enter the stage of madness, and Luo Heng sent back a war report, saying that they had taken the pass by Shun Lì after sacrificing 500 men, and were about to try to carry out a surprise attack on the republic. At the same time, he said that he would act strictly according to the original plan, so that His Majesty did not have to worry about Yunyun.

As a result, Luo Rucai, who originally planned to recall Luo Heng, had to be put aside for the time being.

Because of this incident, the originally tangled mood was rarely relieved.

At night, Luo Rucai's mood sank again, because he still hadn't found the prince today, which made him already have the desire to kill.

But I didn't want to, but at this time, the guards of the palace found a note at the gate of the palace. At first, some people were curious to pick it up and take a look, after all, it was a note pressed under a stone, and the stone was bright red and felt like blood.

Who knew that when I picked it up and looked at it, I found that it was a ransom note, and there was one content on it: Absolute end, or submission.

There is no payment, no sender, and no way to reply, a very cheating letter. But the word "last" also made the Janissary commander jump his eyelids.

handed the letter to Luo Rucai along with the bright red stone, and Luo Rucai could see at a glance that the bright red on the stone was human blood.

According to this letter, the only explanation is that it is the blood of his three princes!

At that moment, Luo Rucai only felt dizzy in front of his eyes, so he fainted to the ground, and his nerves were too tense for several days.

Today's blood stone has become the last straw that broke that nerve, and the heavy pressure has made Luo Rucai unable to support it.
