The next morning, Li Zicheng was dealing with government affairs in Xingning Palace, immersed in reading the chapters, at this moment, Xu Xiake slowly walked in, as if he felt that someone walked in, Li Zicheng habitually put the brush on the inkstone, looked up, and saw that it was Xu Xiake, without waiting for the other party to speak, he preemptively asked: "Mr. Xu, is there something wrong?" ”

"Emperor Qi, Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, is in charge of the country in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and a special envoy came to negotiate peace with us and ask to meet the emperor."

Li Zicheng was obviously stunned, with the intelligence system of the Great Shun Dynasty, how could he not know that Zhu Changshu sent an envoy to negotiate peace with him?

The reason why I was stunned for a moment, there were some accidents, the reason was very simple, I didn't expect Zhu Changshu's actions to be so fast, the prison country has not been a few days, and he didn't even fight a battle, so he relented, and came to negotiate peace, the Ming Dynasty, which is known for its toughness, does not make peace, does not negotiate peacefully, does not pay tribute, and now it is done, how can it not be amazing?

"That's... Mr. Xu, in your opinion, will we agree to their request and negotiate peace? ”

"Of course you can't agree, Your Majesty!"

Xu Xiake blurted out, and in an instant, he immediately realized that his gaffe was too abrupt, so he calmed down a little restlessly, changed to a calm tone, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the reason why Wei Chen said this is for a reason, not because of a quick tongue, but after careful consideration and consideration. ”

"Oh~Mr. Xu, what's the reason?" Li Zicheng pretended to be confused, and asked as if he didn't know.

However, Xu Xiake did not doubt him, thought about it seriously, and after organizing the language, he slowly expressed his opinion, and answered Li Zicheng's inquiry with a very serious expression.

"There are two reasons, one is that our army is in full swing and occupies an absolute advantage, and in the short term, there may be a reason for the lack of succession, and it may not be able to sweep the entire Jiangnan in one go. However, if you take Zhejiang, at least Huzhou Mansion, Jiaxing Mansion, and Hangzhou Mansion, you can easily take it down, no problem. ”

Li Zicheng nodded frequently when he heard this, looking deeply approving.

"Second, Xiong Wencan's actions urgently need our strong support, otherwise, it will not be able to be carried out at all. The troops out of Zhejiang Province and the capture of some state capitals and counties are the most powerful support. ”

Obviously, Li Zicheng's eyes lit up, and he didn't think of this, and couldn't help but praise: "Yes, the troops went out of Zhejiang Province and quickly occupied three places with a thunderous momentum, which can indeed give Zheng Zhilong a powerful deterrent." After all, Zhejiang and Fujian are close to each other, which can create a sense of crisis for Zheng Zhilong. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's what Weichen meant."

Xu Xiake responded softly, and at the same time exhaled a breath of turbidity, saying so many words in a row, the brain was more or less hypoxic.

However, to Xu Xiake's surprise, Li Zicheng did not immediately give a clear answer, but waited with his head bowed, smiled, stood up, and said loudly as he walked: "Okay, Mr. Xu, let's talk about this first, let's go, let's go and meet Zhu Changshu's envoy, but we want to see who they are?" And why should you make peace with us? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Not long after, above the Wuying Palace, Li Zicheng sat upright, looking at the bottom lazily, Zhu Changshu's peace mission, Xu Xiake stood aside, and while introducing them one by one, he also stretched out his palm, pointing to one person accordingly.

"Your Majesty, this person is Chen Hongfan, the chief envoy of the mission, and Zuo Maodi, the deputy envoy, ......"

Listening to Xu Xiake's introduction, Li Zicheng's eyes fell on the body of the deputy envoy Zuo Maodi, and some information couldn't help but emerge in his mind, in later generations, this is a well-known national hero in Jiaodong, who would rather die than descend to the Tartars, and is called "Wen Tianxiang at the end of the Ming Dynasty"!

Just these five words, Wen Tianxiang at the end of the Ming Dynasty, are enough to point out Zuo Maodi's integrity.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Zicheng's gaze softened a lot when he looked at Zuo Maodi, and he was quite appreciative.

Li Zicheng retracted his gaze, looked at the chief envoy Chen Hongfan on the side, looked down at the gift list on the table, opened the contents, and the names of jewelry and jade came into view.

With so many treasures and antiques, gold and silver jewelry, Li Zicheng was shocked and disdainful, and couldn't help but look at Chen Hongfan again, and said mockingly: "Lord Chen, I'm really curious, our army suddenly occupied Nanjing City, your queen mother fled in a hurry, she shouldn't have taken any property with her, where did you collect so many good things?" ”

The word "scrape" is so harsh, Chen Hongfan and Zuo Mao are very uncomfortable when they hear it, and their expressions become unnatural, the answer is not, the refutation is not, how could they hear Li Zicheng's mockery?

It's almost behind the word "scrape", plus a people's fat and people's ointment!

It didn't seem to be expecting the two of them to react and answer their own inquiries, Li Zicheng smiled indifferently, closed the gift list nonchalantly, and casually remained on the side of the dragon case, and then hung up the nerd, which looked very pretended.

"The ancients, the way of the sages, advance is to help the world, retreat is to be alone, I Li Zicheng was born in the grass, at the moment is particularly curious, I really want to know, the two of you came this time, and I Dashun Dynasty to negotiate peace, for the people of the world? Or is it for his Zhu dynasty? ”

While speaking, Li Zicheng stood up, stayed away from the dragon case, walked down the high platform, slowly walked up the steps, and came to the side of Chen Hongfan and Zuo Mao, and then stopped next to the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, kicked, and was still asking and answering himself.

"Hey, hey... In my opinion, I think it's the latter. With so much gold, silver, jewelry, precious calligraphy and paintings, and immeasurable value, if it weren't for the use of extraordinary means, how could so much be raised in such a short period of time? ”

Zuo Maodi finally couldn't bear it anymore, couldn't help Li Zicheng's yin and yang weirdness, sarcastic and mocking, and shouted angrily: "Li Zicheng, why are you accusing us here?" And what reason is there to mock King Lu and them? ”

"Yes, these precious gold and silver things may have a disdainful provenance, but what kind of good things are you Dashun Army?"

Several soldiers raised their eyebrows, showing their fierce intentions, and they were about to step forward with their sabers and arrest the bold Zuo Maodi, but they were stopped by Li Zicheng waving his hand, and the latter looked calm and let Zuo Maodi's words be rude.

"Hmph~ Where the Dashun army has passed, which one is not a chicken flying and a dog jumping, and a chicken dog restless? Every time a town is captured, people's property is confiscated, how is it different from bandits and robbers? Even if there is something wrong with my Ming Dynasty, it is only for a small group of people, and you are targeting the whole world! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zuo Mao's first pair of eyes looked at death as home, and met Li Zicheng's gaze without fear, staring straight ahead.

"He~he~"

Li Zicheng laughed twice, it seemed a little abrupt at the same time, but also full of mockery, Huo De turned around, his voice was raised a few points, he paced slowly in the hall, and said loudly: "Zuo Maodi, yes, our Dashun army is confiscating other people's property." However, you might as well inquire and tell me such an example, how did my Dashun army ever harass the people? How have the property of the House of Good been confiscated? ”
