At this time, in the city of Nanjing, the atmosphere has returned to normal, as in the past, but the Yellow Palace is full of joy, very relaxed, especially on the Wuying Palace, this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere is more and more intense, more and more obvious, in the civil and military officials can be reflected.

"Emperor Qiqi, under the joint efforts of Marshal Gao and General Lu Shiyi, the army has occupied the entire territory of Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong and other people want to fish in troubled waters and seize Chengdu Mansion, fortunately, Marshal Gao has made preparations in advance, Zhang Xianzhong and others have just entered Sichuan, they were repelled by our army and had to retreat to Huguang."

"Moreover, the female general Qin Liangyu and her white-pole soldiers also submitted to our dynasty, and the garrison of the Ming court in Sichuan was submitted to seven or eight out of ten, and accepted the incorporation, either disarmed and returned to the field, or mixed under the command of Marshal Gao and General Lu."

"Also, there is good news from Zhejiang, Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, took the initiative to surrender, welcomed Marshal Li Jin in Hangzhou Mansion, changed the defense of Hangzhou City, and is now on his way to Nanjing City."

......

Hearing Xu Xiake say so much good news, each one was more exciting than the other, whether it was the ministers above the main hall or Li Zicheng sitting upright, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

For a while, two days ago, the haze caused by Zhang Xianzhong and others' sneak attack on Wuchang Mansion seemed to have been swept away.

When Xu Xiake finished saying the last good news, Zuo Mengeng honestly obeyed the order, led the army, followed He Zhen's department, entered Huguang, and approached Wuchang Mansion, Li Zicheng still couldn't help but think of the bad news, Zhang Xianzhong's disgusting feeling.

Li Zicheng frowned slightly, and asked faintly: "In that case, Mr. Xu, what is the situation of Zhang Xianzhong's rebel army?" How many rebel armies are still entrenched in Wuchang City? ”

Xu Xiake still hesitated, returned to normal in an instant, and replied loudly: "Emperor Qiqi, Zhang Xianzhong gathered tens of thousands of rebel troops, multi-way rebel army, most of them withdrew from Wuchang Mansion, but still wandered in Huguang, and Luo Rucai parted ways with Zhang Xianzhong and went straight to Nanzhili. ”

"Moreover, according to reliable information, the information sent back by the spies in Wuchang City, in the past two days, Zhang Xianzhong will ascend the throne and claim the emperor in Wuchang City, establish the Great Western Dynasty, Kaiyuan Dashun, and change Wuchang Mansion to Tianzhu Mansion."

For a while, the expressions of the ministers became strange, and Li Zicheng's expression was also a little strange, and he couldn't help but say: "This Zhang Xianzhong is really interesting, there are only twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses, and there is only one Wuchang Mansion on the territory, which can be described as dangerous, and it may be taken back by our army at any time. ”

Obviously, the reason why everyone looked different was because they had the same idea, thinking that Zhang Xianzhong was really stupid to do this, and when the Great Western Dynasty was established, I am afraid that the number of officials, large and small, would be almost equal to the number of troops!

Yuan Zongdi was also puzzled, and said in a loud voice: "I have long heard that when I was chased and killed by the Ming army, I had to hide in the mountains. It can't be that the emperor wants to go crazy, right? ”

At this time, Xu Xiake shook his head again and again when he heard it, and said with emotion, and said again: "Having said that, Zhang Xianzhong's delusional attempt to establish the Great Western Dynasty is a big failure, but his policies are still very popular with the people. ”

Although Xu Xiake said seriously, the tone of his speech, everyone always felt weird, there was a taste of mockery, and after a while, the ministers suddenly understood why Xu Xiake's words had a strange feeling, as if they were mocking.

The reason is very simple, Zhang Xianzhong seems to be learning from the Great Shun Dynasty and issuing policies to benefit the people, but it is only for the areas he occupies, and when he captures other places, his soldiers can still burn, kill, plunder, and loot.

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong's policies were too limited and not conducive to his expansion.

Moreover, limited by the constraints of these military regulations and regulations, when attacking the city, Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates became even more crazy and crazy plundering, which led to unimaginable consequences, causing the people's resentment to boil!

Hearing this, Li Zicheng had no intention of caring about Huguang, to be precise, he no longer took Zhang Xianzhong in his eyes, He Zhen would definitely be able to recover Wuchang Mansion and clear out the rebel armies from all walks of life in Huguang.

Li Zicheng set his eyes on Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, and asked, "By the way, Lord Song, Lord Niu, how are those Ming Dynasty vassal kings?" Especially the Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong, how is the public trial? ”

Suddenly, Li Zicheng's words paused, and he seemed to think of something funny, and the whole person couldn't help laughing, and then added: "Hehe... To be precise, it should be called 'Toad Heaven'! Without a woman by his side, the body of this "toad emperor" is much better, I'm afraid Zhu Yousong will miss the aphrodisiac medicine introduced by toad as medicine, right? ”

"Haha..."

Suddenly, there was laughter in the Wuying Palace, and everyone couldn't help laughing, among the present, how many people in Nanjing City would not know the origin of the "Toad Son of Heaven"? And how many people will not know who they are referring to?

Especially in these days, the public trial of Zhu Yousong has made the reputation of "Toad Son of Heaven" a household name, and it has continued to spread and spread to the north and south of the river.

For a time, under all kinds of verbal criticism and accusations from the people, Zhu Yousong couldn't help but become infamous, and the title of "Toad Son of Heaven" was also "praised" in the world.

After a while, the hall was quiet, and Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing stood up separately and spoke one after another.

"Emperor Qiyu, except for the 'Toad Son of Heaven' who was in the public trial and Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the previous dynasty, all the vassal kings are detained together, about a large mansion, guarded by heavy soldiers, just waiting for the vassal kings of Zhejiang and Sichuan to escort it, they will be sent to the capital together."

"Your Majesty, the public trial of the 'Toad Son of Heaven' has come to an end, and the people's grievances have reached a boiling state, and they are all waiting for the day when they will be beheaded, and they still hope that the emperor will decide on the specific date of beheading."

At this time, Huang Zongxi stood up, with a nervous look on his face, and said first: "Emperor Qi, Weichen was begged by the brother-in-law of the 'Toad Son of Heaven', that is, when Emperor Hongguang was still King Fu, Huang Yanmei, the younger brother of the princess Huang, wanted to collect Zhu Yousong's body and bury it with his sister, and hoped that the emperor would approve it. ”

For a while, many people in the Wuying Hall were shocked, not shocked by Huang Zongxi's words of help, everyone knew that Li Zicheng would not pursue these, but was shocked by Huang Yanmei's boldness, and dared to collect Zhu Yousong's body, so he was not afraid of being implicated?

"Okay, I agreed, on the day Zhu Yousong was beheaded, Huang Yanmei could not only watch from the sidelines, but also collect Zhu Yousong's body, and no one could stop him!"
