Li Zicheng's voice slowed down, and he slowly walked towards Zuo Maodi, his tone changed, and he said slowly: "Zuo Maodi, I don't pursue your offense, and I don't have the same knowledge as you, so I should have not made such a big fuss, and give you a chance to travel to the places ruled by my Dashun Dynasty. Which one is not the powerful of the previous dynasty, scraping the people's fat and people's ointment? ”

.....

When Li Zicheng talked eloquently, Chen Hongfan kept glancing at Zuo Maodi, and made small movements, gently pulling Zuo Maodi's sleeve, however, the latter was still unmoved, holding his neck, looking unwilling to admit defeat, and still looking directly at Li Zicheng's gaze.

At this moment, listening to Li Zicheng's words as if showing off his achievements, Xu Xiake knew that the emperor had moved his heart to love talents, and he had the intention of reining Zuo Maodi.

Otherwise, how could they be so willing to refute it with such words? Allowing it to talk nonsense is very disrespectful?

Just based on Zuo Maodi's performance, the offensive words are enough for the emperor to behead him, and the people of the world can't say anything, even if Zuo Maodi is a famous genius and sage in the world, it is the same!

Zuo Maodi was speechless when he was refuted, although he was not ashamed of himself, but his heart was more or less tasteless, and he couldn't help but think of the court that belonged to him.

If it weren't for the people's misery and the people's difficulty in surviving, how could the world be in chaos and give Li Zicheng an opportunity to take advantage of?

In the end, Li Zicheng stopped, didn't say anything more, but beckoned to the two soldiers in the distance, and said loudly: "Send Zuo Maodi out of Nanjing City, go to find Dang Shousu, and ask him to send Zuo Maodi to the other side of the Yangtze River, don't worry about it, just let him go, let him look around, is the place ruled by my Dashun Dynasty as unbearable as he said?" ”

Before Zuo Maodi could react, he had been "invited" out of the palace by two soldiers.

At this moment, Chen Hongfan secretly pinched a cold sweat for Zuo Maodi, and felt relieved in his heart, and at the same time secretly rejoiced that his life was safe.

Since Li Zicheng was able to spare Zuo Maodi and did not severely punish his offense, he should not easily move him as the mastermind.

What's more, throughout the ages, there have been rules, and the two armies are at war, and they don't kill them.

Thinking of this, Chen Hongfan became more and more relieved, and his nervous and nervous mood calmed down slightly.

At this time, without waiting for Chen Hongfan to speak, Li Zicheng had already come to him, and waved his hand, ordering everyone to retreat, only him, himself and Xu Xiake in the hall, and at the same time preemptively said: "Lord Chen, I don't know if you are interested in serving my Dashun Dynasty?" ”

Obviously, Chen Hongfan hesitated, his face was embarrassed, and he did not immediately and clearly reply, agree or refuse.

Li Zicheng did not force him to speak further, but showed enough patience and kindness, looked at the other party with a smile, and quietly waited for a reply.

At this time, Xu Xiake walked up, stopped beside Chen Hongfan, and while taking out a letter from his arms, he said loudly: "Lord Chen, please see, there is a handwritten letter from your old boss, maybe I can give you some advice." ”

Chen Hongfan showed curiosity, took the letter puzzled, when the three words "Xiong Wencan" came into view, he was obviously stunned for a moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he looked at Li Zicheng and Xu Xiake, and his heart was full of doubts and curiosity, how could they have a letter from their old boss in their hands?

Despite this, his heart was full of all kinds of doubts, Chen Hongfan still withdrew his gaze, slowly opened the letter without hurry, and read it.

Not long after, Chen Hongfan left, and there were only Xu Xiake and Li Zicheng in the hall, the former's face was full of expectation, looking at the direction of Chen Hongfan's departure, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, do you say that Chen Hongfan can contribute to this?" Can you really persuade Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, to take the initiative to surrender? ”

Without waiting for Li Zicheng to respond, a soldier walked in quickly.

"Emperor Qiqi, Marshal Tian Jianxiu sent someone to escort a team of people back from Anqing Mansion, saying that he was Zuo Liangyu's lobbyist, and he came to negotiate and return to the signal."

Obviously, this is definitely a huge piece of good news, Xu Xiake's face was full of excitement, and he couldn't help but congratulate: "Congratulations to the emperor, the shock has begun to take effect, Zuo Liangyu's Ming army took the initiative to surrender, which is the best omen, and there will be more Ming troops in the future!" ”

Li Zicheng couldn't help but frown, nodded happily, and responded: "Yes, it is true, I am afraid that the capture of all parts of the south will be smoother, and the time is shorter than expected." ”

Without waiting for Xu Xiake to say anything, Li Zicheng turned his head to look at the soldier and said loudly: "Bring Zuo Liangyu's envoy in, and forget the others." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Soon after, Huang Shu appeared on the top of the Wuying Palace, standing opposite Li Zicheng and Xu Xiake, as soon as they met, without saying a word, he knelt down and bowed, and shouted in his mouth: "I have seen the emperor of the Dashun Dynasty, long live the emperor, long live long live!" ”

Li Zicheng was a little stunned for a while, no one had ever made such a big salute to him, and he returned to normal in an instant, and he couldn't help but show disgust, instinctively disgusted with people like Huang Shu, flattering, without a little backbone.

"Get up, in my Dashun Dynasty, you don't have to make such a big salute."

Xu Xiake saw the disgust on Li Zicheng's face, responded to him, and then asked, "Dare to ask you...?" ”

It is not difficult to find that Xu Xiake does not have a good feeling for Huang Shu, and he has disgust, but he just hides it well.

"Your Majesty, this lord, in Xia Huangshu, this time I came to Nanjing City, and it is only one aspect to beg for Zuo Mengeng, the main thing is to ask for the return to the Dashun Dynasty."

"For Zuo Menggeng?"

Li Zicheng muttered to himself, sensitively caught the strangeness in Huang Shu's words, frowned slightly, stared straight at Huang Shu, and asked tentatively again: "Isn't it?" You should beg for Qin Liangyu, right? Could it be that Zuo Mengeng turned against him? ”

"No, no, your majesty, you misunderstood."

Huang Shu hurriedly denied it, his face was full of flattery, he smiled like a chrysanthemum, and explained even more flatteringly: "Your Majesty, this is the case, do you know that Zuo Liangyu has been angry with his son, and tens of thousands of troops are now controlled by Zuo Mengeng. ”

Between the words, Huang Shu seemed to summarize himself to the side of the Dashun Dynasty, and Xu Xiake were his own people, and Tian's shameless and cheeky behavior was absolutely unmatched.

If Zuo Mengeng is here, he has to be mad, and he can't wait to slaughter Huang Shu and replace him with someone else to beg to surrender, because Huang Shu shook out his hole cards, all of which were in his head, and even more so the situation of the army, internal problems, to put it in detail, if he could, Huang Shu could report what color Zuo Menggeng's underwear was.

"Moreover, Your Majesty, don't look at Zuo Mengeng sitting in the position of commander of tens of thousands of troops, but not all the generals believe in him and support him as the commander. Moreover, once the news of Zuo Liangyu's death comes, the army is bound to be in chaos, and in an instant, it will fall apart, and it would be good if there were only one or two thousand left in the tens of thousands of troops......"

Although he hated Huang Shu and hated such a servile and flattering person, Li Zicheng didn't hate the messages he confided, he laughed inexplicably in his heart, and glanced at Xu Xiake, both of whom saw the same information in the eyes of the other party.

After Huang Shu finished speaking, Li Zicheng spoke, nodded slightly, showed a sudden look, and said to himself: "No wonder Zuo Mengeng is so active and active in begging?" No wonder Zuo Liangyu's tens of thousands of troops stood still on the river for several days, so it was ......"
