Soon after, as soon as the palace discussion ended, Li Changmao and Li Zicheng came to the apse, and as soon as they sat down, the former couldn't wait to say: "Qi Yu Chuang Wang, General Li Guo and Mr. Xu jointly sent a secret urgent report, hoping to send Zhu Cihong, the prince of the Ming court, to Henan and hand it over to them for disposal. ”

"Oh~ Mr. Xu, what do they want to plan?"

Li Zicheng asked rhetorically, and before the end of his voice, Li Changmao had already taken out an urgent document from his sleeve, with a solemn look on his face, and while handing it over, he replied: "King Chuang, you can see it at a glance." ”

Li Zicheng nodded slightly, he had already taken the document, and his face showed curiosity, and when he looked at the content of the document, Li Changmao seemed to think of something, and then explained: "King Chuang, because the matter is very important, involving General Li's plan, in order to prevent the plan from leaking, this joint urgent report will be sent to his subordinates first, and then forwarded by his subordinates." ”

"Mr. Li, I don't need to explain anything, before Li Guo left Beijing, I once explained that all urgent matters that need to be kept secret will be sent to you first, if they are sent directly to this Forbidden City, it will go through many hands, and it is easy to leak secrets."

Seeing the apprehension on Li Changmao's face, Li Zicheng smiled lightly, and after reassuring him, he had already finished reading the emergency report, and suddenly showed excitement on his face, and couldn't help but praise aloud: "Good plan!" What a plan! ”

At the same time, Li Changmao's expression also relaxed, of course he knew what Li Zicheng was talking about, and when he thought of the content of the emergency report, he couldn't help but admire: "In this way, the situation that has just been stabilized in the south will be broken in an instant, and the internal affairs of the Ming army will become chaotic, and it will be infighting again, and it will no longer be able to form a unified command, let alone fight with our Li Jiajun head-on." ”

At this moment, the two tacitly reached a consensus, had agreed to Li Guo's plan, and promised to send Zhu Cihong, the prince of the Ming court, to Henan and hand it over to Li Guo and others for disposal.

"Mr. Li, when do you say we will send Zhu Cihong to Henan? Who should escort him, and how should he be sent to Li Guo? Li Zicheng had already restrained his smile and asked solemnly.

"The sooner the better, of course!"

Li Changmao replied without hesitation, as if he felt that his answer was a little distracted, paused slightly, and after calming his emotions, he slowly added: "This matter should not only be fast, but also be kept as confidential as possible, and not reveal the slightest rumor." As for the escort candidates, I don't know who is suitable. ”

Obviously, Li Zicheng was asking knowingly, knowing that Li Changmao would answer like this, and said approvingly: "Yes, only by keeping it secret can the effect of the plan be maximized, and the city of Nanjing will be in the most chaotic state; Only when Zhu Cihong suddenly appeared in Nanjing City, could he catch those officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the future new emperor by surprise, and the situation of two masters appeared in Nanjing City. ”

"Yes, King Chuang, when the city of Nanjing was fighting for the throne, General Li Guo and they suddenly launched an attack, drove straight into Nanzhili, and approached Nanjing City with a thunderous momentum, the city is bound to be in chaos, and the entire Jianghuai and other places are at their fingertips." Li Changmao looked thoughtful, as if he was fantasizing about the scene of Li Guo and others attacking Nanzhili.

......

In Cining Palace, Gao Guiying was teasing a pair of four or five-year-old dragon and phoenix fetuses, which were Li Zicheng's two daughters.

At this moment, bursts of crisp laughter echoed in the harem, like a silver bell ringing, Li Zicheng's children were having a lot of fun and being very happy, but he sat on the side blankly, stunned, as if thinking about something?

"Go, take Zile and Ziyu out to play~"

Gao Guiying greeted the palace maid softly, and watched the reluctant children being taken out, a trace of happiness flashed on her face, and she slowly walked towards Li Zicheng and asked, "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Ever since you consulted with the advisors, you've been preoccupied. ”

Li Zicheng suddenly sobered up, looked left and right with some nervousness, and then reacted, recalled Gao Guiying's question, and saw that his wife had come closer, and pulled her to his side.

As soon as Gao Guiying sat down, Li Zicheng briefly talked about what he talked about with Li Changmao, and then said: "Li Changmao is a scholar, and he is very good at taking care of daily affairs, but when it comes to military affairs, it seems to be slightly insufficient. ”

"Indeed, Xianggong, the person who escorts Zhu Cihong must be carefully considered, and it cannot be handed over to one person in a hurry." Gao Guiying had insight into Li Zicheng's thoughts and pointed out his anxiety.

"Gui Ying, who do you think I should send?"

Li Zicheng asked in a deep voice, as if he had thought of something, and without waiting for Gao Guiying to answer, he then said: "In today's capital, there are very few available military generals, and most of them have been sent out, or they will go south to attack the Ming court's forces in Jiangnan; Either go north to Liaodong, guard the mountain customs, monitor Zu Dashou, and stabilize the northern generation. ”

For a while, the Cining Palace was quiet, and both of them were worried, and they couldn't think of a suitable candidate for a while.

Not long after, suddenly, Gao Guiying's eyes lit up, her face was happy, and she said uncertainly to Li Zicheng: "Xianggong, how do you think Henglai?" In any case, Lai Heng is also the righteous son of Guo'er, and he will definitely do his best to handle this matter. ”

"Yes, Lai Heng is a good candidate."

Li Zicheng looked thoughtful, and did not settle down, but changed his words and said in a deep voice: "However, it is better to call Heng over and ask to see if he is competent?" ”

"Okay, Xianggong, I'll let people summon Heng into the palace in the future."

Soon, Li Guo's righteous son Li Laiheng came to Cining Palace, and as soon as he stood still, Li Zicheng asked: "Laiheng, if you are asked to take a person out of the capital in the shortest possible time, secretly send it to your stepfather, and don't walk a little bit of wind, can you do it?" ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to feel that there was a gap in his words, and without waiting for Li Laiheng to answer, Li Zicheng added: "Moreover, this person's identity is very sensitive, and no one must find out." ”

Hearing this, Li Laiheng was not stumped, but laughed heartily and replied, "Hehe... Uncle, what's so hard about this? As long as the person is tied hand and foot and placed in the coffin, it can definitely be sent to the father-in-law quickly and confidentially! ”

It seemed that he also felt that his answer was too Meng Lang, or in order to make his words more convincing, Li Laiheng further added: "Uncle, you may not know that recently, when the city of Beijing was breached, many people committed suicide, and their families or clansmen transported their bodies back to their hometowns. So, putting that person in a coffin will never attract anyone's attention. ”

"Yes, a great idea!"

Li Zicheng praised it, and looked at Gao Guiying at the same time, the two smiled tacitly, nodded slightly, Li Zicheng talked about the reasons before and after, Li Laiheng was excited when he heard it, and immediately replied: "Uncle, don't worry, Laiheng guarantees to complete the task!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Laiheng's eyes rolled and said abruptly: "By the way, uncle, I think that after Zhu Cihong is taken out of Beijing, he can release the news that he is dead, so as to confuse the two factions in Nanjing City, making them more immersed in the battle between the two sides, and Zhu Cihong's sudden appearance in Nanjing City will be even more shocking." ”

"Hahaha... Come to Heng, you're really a little ghost......"

Li Zicheng laughed loudly at the sky, pointed at Li Laiheng again and again, and did not say the words behind, looking very happy, Li Laiheng also showed a little smugness and scratched his head.
