"If these dog officials don't want to harm the people, they can resign and not do it." Li Zicheng paused.

"What the king said is really easy, if these people don't become officials, what can they do? Moreover, the king and the last general are not qualified to accuse others of this. Needless to say, the unspoken rules in the Ming army, anyway, as far as Xu Ping saw, even the new army was swayed by them, Xu Ping still remembered what Li Zicheng said to himself about the past when he was in the post station: "When the king was in the post station, didn't he also rob the people's wealth?" This is not the king's original intention, but if it weren't for Emperor Chongzhen's abolition of the post station, the king might have to grab it, right? ”

Xu Ping's words made Li Zicheng sigh, and seeing that King Shun was about to be convinced, Xu Ping hit the railway while it was hot: "The Ming Dynasty has lost the world, so the king wants to raise troops to overthrow it." In this case, how can the king chase after others because of some wrong things they have done, no matter how big or small the crime is, there is no chance for self-reform? Speaking of Wei Zaode, no matter how negative Chongzhen he is, is he still comparable to the king and the last general who raised troops and advocated rebellion? ”

"Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself," Li Zicheng felt that Xu Ping was saying the way of forgiveness again: "What the sage said will never be wrong, Brother Xu means this." ”

"Yes, in addition, a handsome man covers a hundred ugliness, and the last general thinks that it is impossible," although Xu Ping also admired Chongzhen's martyrdom, but he felt that it was still a little inappropriate to blame all the sins on others: "The king is now in a troubled world, this world is no longer right, and besides, people will inevitably make mistakes, so the last general thinks that it is better to be more tolerant and kill less." ”

"Brother Xu, you speak for these people, but they may not be like this," Niu Jinxing always muttered in front of Li Zicheng before, why should Xu Ping have too much power, but since the founding of Xi'an, the ministers who came to show loyalty to King Shun have spoken much more than Niu Jinxing: "Brother Xu probably doesn't know yet, Dashun has only been established for three months, and seven or eight people have come to me, saying that Brother Xu, you are not beautiful, and you have nothing to take from gold and silver, and advise me to be careful." It was only a few hours after arriving at this Jinluan Palace, and someone said so again. ”

Xu Ping laughed and said, "Doesn't this prove their loyalty to the king and the great shun?" Who does not know that the last general is the henchmen of the king, and the king is likely to kill them in a fit of rage. Isn't it rare for them to give advice to the king without hesitation? ”

"It's just a proof of their stupidity," Li Zicheng shook his head and asked, "I heard that Brother Xu has the intention of resigning?" ”

Although this matter has not been told to many people, Xu Ping did reveal his tone, since Li Zicheng asked, he no longer concealed it, nodded and said: "Yes, now that the Ming court has collapsed, the new army has been defeated or surrendered, the king will dominate the world just around the corner, and the last general has no interest in governing the country, except for fighting and killing people, he really doesn't want to stay in the court." ”

"Does Brother Xu have any doubts about me?" Li Zicheng asked straightforwardly: "Brother Xu is afraid that his companion will be like a tiger, and Li will one day be unfavorable to the old brothers, right?" ”

"Since the king asked, yes, there is such a concern." Xu Ping replied bluntly: "The right thing is a big murderous thing, it is better to hide far away, and the end will be successful and retired, if there is a fate in the future, when you enter Beijing to meet the king in a few decades, you can talk about the feelings of your comrades again." The friendship between the king and the last general can be regarded as having a beginning and an end. ”

"What does this mean that there is a beginning and an end?" Li Zicheng said dissatisfiedly: "In my opinion, Brother Xu's knowledge of governing the country is not much worse than that of Brother Niu, at least Brother Niu did not remind me of the mistakes I made today." ”

"It's just a little idea of the last general, maybe the king's original idea is right, and the last general is a woman's benevolence." Xu Ping originally had the idea of retreating, and after listening to Chongzhen's words before he died, Xu Ping felt that it was better for him to leave early, so as to save other troubles. Besides, the more you are like this, the easier it is to be feared, and you are not a complete martial artist, and you still hold military power. Xu Ping planned to recommend Gu Yanwu and them to Li Zicheng, and then go away.

"Didn't Brother Xu still have an appointment with me to open a peaceful world and jump out of the cycle of chaos?"

"As long as the king always has a benevolent heart and does not forget the suffering of all the people, he will definitely be able to do it."

"That's why Brother Xu wants to stay by my side," Li Zicheng said a little unhappily: "If Brother Xu leaves like this, who will remind me in the future?" ”

"There will be a lot of people who will come to remind the king." Xu Ping laughed: "Didn't the king say that it was only an hour after arriving in the Jinluan Palace, and someone began to guard against the slightest for Dashun?" ”

"Those people are so stupid, Brother Xu entered Beijing alone, how can there be ambitious people in the world who will execute themselves?" Li Zicheng said in a firm tone: "Brother Xu must stay, and he must not be surrounded by rumors." ”

Xu Ping thought for a while: "What the king said is not right, more than 20 years ago, Huang Hou also took risks alone, but now Huang Hou is also going to rebel." ”

"What year was that?" Li Zicheng raised his head and recalled: "Huang Hou went to Liaoyang, it was the sixth year of the Apocalypse, right?" ”

"Not bad."

"Well, about twenty-five years. This year is the first year of Yongchang, and when Yongchang is twenty-five years old, Brother Xu, remember to remind me, so that I can strike first. Li Zicheng said: "Or when Yongchang is twenty-five years old, if Brother Xu wants to go into hiding, I will definitely not ask for it." ”

……

Miss Liu never saw Yue Mu coming, and the guards battalion was resting one by one, but her sweetheart never appeared. Finally waiting for the situation in Jingshi to stabilize, Miss Liu hurriedly rushed to the defensive position of the guard camp to find her fiancé.

Along the way, there were smiling faces of Shunjun soldiers everywhere, and the long-term war seemed to be finally over, and the soldiers laughed loudly, and it was a carefree and peaceful life in the future, and they no longer had to carry their heads in their hands and live a precarious life.

After seeing Yue Mu's commander, the officer, who usually always smiled and made fun of the two of them, became very serious, he stared at Miss Liu and hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "We can't do this, let's go find your sister-in-law Qin." ”

Miss Liu stumbled to the back of the barracks and rushed to Qin Dedong's widow, who was in charge of collecting the body into the coffin, who also had a heavy face when he saw Miss Liu, reached out and stroked Miss Liu's hair, and then led her to the new grave.

There was laughter and laughter behind him, and the soldiers of the Shun army who had just returned to the camp did not hide the joy in their hearts:

"Long live Dashun, long live Dawang!"

"The world is peaceful."

Looking at the words on the tombstone, Miss Liu cried bitterly, and let out a heart-rending howl in a joyful sound, which read:

Yue Mu, a first-class sergeant of the Dashun Guards Battalion

……

Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing have been busy receiving the surrendered Ming officials, and since Niu Jinxing settled down in Beijing, the people who came to the door to knock on his threshold were about to break his threshold. When summing up the gains and losses of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng, who calmed down, felt that Emperor Chongzhen, a son of heaven who was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women, interfered too much in politics may not only not be a good thing, but have a bad impact. Therefore, Li Zicheng decided not to interfere too much in the operation of the imperial court, but to let Niu Jinxing follow the Ming system and establish a more authoritative Shun cabinet, which was fully responsible for internal affairs, and even abolished the red of the celebrant and eunuch.

Li Zicheng gave Niu Jinxing a fan, on which the word cabinet was written, and now Niu Jinxing carried this fan with him, and he took it out to show everyone if he had nothing to do, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered were also eulogizing: "The master of ceremonies is dressed in red, and he does not send it in the middle, which is a great disaster in the former Ming Dynasty, and the king of Shun will be abolished, and the true master of the Ming Dynasty will also." ”

In addition to the constraints on the cabinet, Li Zicheng also ordered that only 1,000 old and weak eunuchs who had nowhere to go should be left in the palace, and thousands of other eunuchs were dismissed from Beijing together.

At first, when Li Zicheng explained that this was to punish the eunuchs for interfering in politics and disturbing state affairs, the ministers also praised King Shun's wisdom, but when Li Zicheng ordered the suspension of the new prisons, the courtiers of Dashun began to feel that something was wrong.

"Didn't they say that eunuchs were the source of trouble?" Seeing that Niu Jinxing came to persuade him to withdraw his fate on behalf of the ministers, Li Zicheng asked in a surprised tone: "Then Dashun will not accept eunuchs in the future, won't it completely cut off the possibility of eunuchs and disorderly government?" ”

"Then how does the king plan to govern the harem?" Niu Jinxing asked coldly.

"I only have ......"

Niu Jinxing coughed.

"There is only one queen in the widow," Li Zicheng immediately changed his words: "The widow has no heirs, so he will probably marry one or two more little wives." ”

Niu Jinxing coughed again.

"The widow will seal one or two more concubines." Li Zicheng was very modest, and he changed it as soon as others persuaded him, he turned his head to look at Xu Ping beside him, and complained helplessly: "It's really troublesome." ”

"The heavenly family must have the system of the heavenly family." Niu Venus said lukewarmly.

"There are only three, and if none of them can be born, it's probably a problem of widowhood." Li Zicheng ignored Niu Jinxing's loud cough and continued: "It's just three, there are dozens of concubines among the people, such as Li Jiantai, who went on the expedition on behalf of Emperor Ming, he married fifty concubines, and I haven't heard what eunuchs he wants to use." ”

"Because he is a minister, not the Son of Heaven. Don't talk about the heavenly family, that is, in the palace, has the king heard that the prince did not use eunuchs? Niu Jinxing said with a cold face: "The former Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, just a queen didn't even have a concubine, and I didn't hear that he had blown away all the eunuchs and didn't accept new ones, what kind of system did the king behave like this?" ”

"This eunuch can't take it." Li Zicheng seemed very stubborn on this issue, although he couldn't say Niu Jinxing, he still didn't compromise, and he threw a look of help to Xu Ping.

"This castration is for animals, how can it be done on men?" Xu Ping accosted: "The way of a saint is benevolence, and castrating a living person is a great unkind thing in the world, why never see a saint's disciples come out to oppose it?" ”

"Because the lesser of two evils," Niu Jinxing snorted, very "Can you Xu Ping argue with me even by virtue of you?" The meaning: "The dignity and bloodline of the heavenly family, there is no room for criticism and suspicion, the most important thing in this world is boring people, they will speculate about the affairs of the heavenly family as a conversation after dinner, it will make a storm in the city, and it will make the prestige of the heavenly family ruined; And there is another thing in this world called ambition, and there will be people with ill intentions who will use it to cause trouble and cause chaos in the world. If there is a small disturbance in three days and a big disturbance in five days, and the world is bloody and bloody, and the war is endless, then it is the real injustice. The dignity of the Heavenly Family, not the Wang's family, or the Dashun Imperial Court, is the Chinese Zhengshuo, how can you be willful? ”

Xu Ping was so choked that he couldn't speak, Niu Jinxing looked at Li Zicheng again, and said: "The king can't ignore the world because of a little woman's kindness. ”

"I don't care what you say, anyway, there can't be eunuchs by my side," Li Zicheng shouted regardless of etiquette, he asked about the eunuch's surgical process out of curiosity, but his hairs stood on end, and his body was cold: "Especially the newly recruited eunuchs, when I see them, I will think of their crimes, I will have nightmares, and I will not be able to sleep." Li Zicheng shouted: "I can't accept eunuchs, I'm already scared just by listening to it." ”

"If the king has a way to stop the rumors, he doesn't need a eunuch," Niu Jinxing had a calm expression: "I just don't know what the king has planned?" ”

"Can you use trustworthy guards and servants, is it possible that Brother Niu, your family will produce mongrels without eunuchs?" Li Zicheng saw that Niu Jinxing's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and hurriedly apologized: "Slip of the tongue, I mean, you can use a female official." ”

"Female officials must not be used, eunuchs will not have queens, but female officials are different, they will have heirs, and they will fight openly and secretly in the harem to disturb the country of Dashun."

"As long as the rules are tight, it won't be like this." Li Zicheng argued.

Niu Jinxing looked incredulous, but he still asked politely: "Then dare to ask how the rules of the king are set?" ”

"This widow hasn't thought about it yet, and when the widow thinks about it, he will definitely consult the prime minister," Li Zicheng suddenly changed into the majestic posture of an emperor and said to Niu Jinxing: "The prime minister should step down first, the widow still has something to discuss with the general." ”

"Literati are like this." After blasting Niu Jinxing away, Li Zicheng said to Xu Ping: "If you change it a little, they will say as if the sky is about to fall, I don't believe that my Li family doesn't need eunuchs, and something will happen in the harem." ”

"But the king had better think about the female official system that was used to prevaricate Niu Xiangye just now," Xu Ping suggested, "You have to give them a step down." ”

"yes, I'll think about it at night." Li Zicheng sighed lightly: "I used to think that Brother Niu was different from ordinary literati, riding fierce horses, making swords and guns, how could he become exactly the same as other literati as soon as he entered Beijing?" Li Zicheng described to Xu Ping the ugliness of some Jingshi literati: "Brother Niu is just a lifter, and he can't even pass the same Jinshi exam, he said that he didn't even dare to take the exam, knowing that it was purely embarrassing, but now a group of champions and Bangyanlang are crying and shouting to worship Brother Niu as a teacher, and Brother Niu is picky." ”

"However, after all, the governance of the country still depends on the literati, otherwise the country will not be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time." Xu Ping said.

"Yes," Li Zicheng sighed: "We martial artists always mess up the world, and I'm jealous, and I make fun of them by picking on some faults with their literati." ”
