"Lao Li, what do you think? Do you know what kind of fate we Han people will be when you come to this play? ”

On the way down the mountain to the palace, Xiao Yao prepared these questions. He felt that if Lao Li asked him to be a strategic consultant, he would hold a press conference for Lao Li, and he would think of a press conference for Lao Li. And the above question is what Lao Li must answer.

The winter of 1627 came a little earlier than usual, and one evening in the middle of the month, Chongzhen in the palace was sitting on the edge of the dragon bed for the food and salary of the soldiers in front of him, looking at the ceiling in a daze. On this day, in a post station in Yinchuan, the door creaked open, and the post guard Li Zicheng came out of it, carrying a package, because the post station had not been paid for half a year, the station official received a notice to close the post station, anyway, this station has not received any reception tasks for many years.

Seventeen years later, this unemployed postman walked into the Forbidden City and asked everyone who walked by him the name of a person he had never dreamed of in the past, have you ever seen Emperor Chongzhen? Obviously, no one can answer his question, there is only one reason, he is a traitor, Beijing City is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, everyone has a strong sense of the imperial city, they regard themselves as intruders, simply put, a leader of the bandit army who does all kinds of evil enters the city with a group of bandits to kill people and set fires, no one is willing to tell him the whereabouts of his Son of Heaven, not to mention that everyone really did not notice where the emperor went.

He wouldn't kill himself, would he? Li Zicheng asked Niu Jinxing beside him. Niu Jinxing thought for a while and said, it is possible, Emperor Jianwen burned himself with a fire back then.

Li Zicheng sighed: "Zhu Di definitely didn't expect him to have today." ”

At that time, the inner palace was on fire.

Li Zicheng hurriedly ran over with his subordinates.

By the time they arrived, the fire had been extinguished. There were several people standing in front of the palace, and one of them waved at Li Zicheng, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Li Zicheng took a closer look, was shocked, rolled down from his horse, threw himself down in front of Chongzhen, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the villain is dead." Niu Venus and his attendants, who were following behind, also fell to the ground one after another, shouting long live.

Chongzhen trembled and helped Li Zicheng up, fortunately it was dark night, he secretly looked at the demobilized soldier in front of him who almost forced him to hang himself on the back mountain, and a stream of hot tears gushed out.

"Self-contained, you're miserable!"

Li Zicheng knelt on the ground and began to tell the man in front of him who he had dreamed of many times about the reason for his rebellion, yes, he had to give the emperor an explanation, in fact, he had been brewing this statement many times.

"Your Majesty, do you know? The officials you sent are said to be scholars, but in fact, they are all bad guys, oppressing the people, and your country was actually buried by them. ”

If this was in the past, according to Chongzhen's petty temperament, he would definitely be reprimanded, which obviously means that he has no vision as an emperor. Chongzhen in the darkness sighed and said, "The sky has eyes, this can be regarded as retribution." ”

Retribution? Li Zicheng didn't understand it for a while, it didn't matter if he wanted to understand it or not, the important thing was that he couldn't help but offer his knees as soon as he saw Chongzhen. Chongzhen immediately found his senses. At this moment, how much he wanted to smash Lao Li's knees and offer the ancestral temple to comfort his ancestors, but it was none of his business.

Chongzhen said: "Zicheng, you went because of Shaanxi, I promise you to be the king of Chuang, leading Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces, the next thing you have to do is to help me calm down the civil strife, the most important thing is not to let the people of Jin enter Shanhaiguan, you know?" ”

Li Zicheng didn't expect Chongzhen to know his needs well, what else could he say, only long live Shanhu and thank the lord Longen.
