The Emperor of the Apocalypse felt an inexplicable anxiety.

To be honest, this Li Zicheng has grown more and more.

Actually, this is understandable.

No matter what Zhang Jingyi and these people think, in the eyes of many people in the world, this Emperor of the Apocalypse is indeed a faint monarch.

Even if there are many victories, in the eyes of many people, this is still a reckless force.

All in all, many people believe that the Ming Dynasty is dying.

If this Ming Dynasty dies, there will naturally be many people who want to vote for a Ming master, so that they can also be crowned marquis and worship in the future.

Then Li Zicheng opened the imperial examination, and immediately gave people a virtuous atmosphere, so it is no wonder that his army is invincible.

As for those poor clansmen, they were slaughtered after Li Zicheng's rebellion and united some of the gentry, relying on the money and food of the clan to maintain their own army, so that the gentry established an administrative system, and the rogues were in charge of the military.

Of course, Li Zicheng can do this, on the one hand, because he has enough prestige, and on the other hand, it is also because he holds the 'old camp' that followed him when he was in Guanzhong.

These people followed him to fight thousands of miles, and after bloody battles and eliminations, all that remained was the elite of the elite.

In addition, the exiles of this era followed the rebellion, and they had to do it as a last resort, and now they know that they have no way out, and the Ming Dynasty will never tolerate them, so it has become a consensus to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

But what will happen in the future?

In the future, of course, Li Zi will be pushed to become emperor and start a new cycle.

That's it...... In fact, this rogue at the end of the Ming Dynasty is already considered to be more progressive and advanced in thinking, at least it is better than all kinds of thinking possessed by God.

Since in the eyes of many rogues, rebellion is to fill their stomachs, and the only way to survive the consequences of rebellion is to become a dragon from Li Zicheng.

So even if Li Zicheng began to ease up with the gentry, in their opinion, although there were still many contradictions with the gentry, they could still endure it.

This is just like when Zhu Yuanzhang started with the branch of the Red Turban Army, and then began to establish an administrative system to recruit gentry talents to serve him.

The goal was not to eliminate the gentry, but to become a lord.

At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse paced back and forth a few steps irritably, and then looked at Huang Liji and said, "The defenders of Hengzhou took the initiative to surrender?" ”

"Yes." Huang Liji said: "At that time, a few Confucian scholars entered the city first, negotiated with the local officials about surrendering, and opened the city gate the next day. ”

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, his eyes became more and more gloomy, and he said coldly: "What is the use of these people? ”

"One more thing......" Huang Liji said with a wry smile.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned, he knew that Huang Liji had come here on purpose, and it would not be so simple.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "You can say it." ”

Huang Liji said: "Over there in Shandong, the gentry conspired against the case...... Someone escaped. ”

"Someone escaped? What does this mean? ”

So Huang Liji said: "Shandong Jinshi Sun Zhiqi, originally for Hanlin Shu Jishi, after returning to his hometown Ding worry, a few days ago, Shandong political envoy began to investigate the rebellion case, this Sun Zhiqi was originally in Zichuan County, he is the imperial court official, originally did not affect him, just ...... This person bought some people, and then rescued dozens of soldiers and fled overnight...... According to the latest news, this Sun Zhiqi appeared in Wuchang with people, and also issued a notice, claiming ...... Claim ......"

"Say what?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse raised an eyebrow.

Huang Li said hesitantly: "Claim that today, Zhu ...... Zhu ........."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse immediately understood Huang Liji's embarrassment, and said, "You don't have to have any taboos. ”

Only then did Huang Liji say: "It is said that Zhu Ming has lost the hearts of the people, and the righteous people in the world should crusade against His Majesty and help the world......"

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and sneered: "Just him? ”

Huang Liji said with a worried look: "This person is not only a jinshi, but also in Shandong, quite famous, in Shandong, the influence is not small." This person's article is also very good...... This time he defected to Li Zicheng, and the impact was the worst. After all, the other gentry waited until Li Zicheng's military horse arrived, and then they had to surrender, even if someone took the initiative to contact them, but only Li Zicheng's military horse was close to the left. But this person is running thousands of miles, not to mention that he is a clear stream...... That's different. ”

What is a clear stream...... For a lot of people, it's amazing.

How so?

Because in officialdom, there is also a chain of contempt.

Those who have meritorious fame despise those who have no meritorious fame, those who raise people despise Xiucai, and Jinshi despise those who raise people, and Jinshi has one, two, and three grades, but there is a kind of person who belongs to the root Zheng Miao Hong, such as Sun Zhiqi, who not only won the first and second class of Jinshi, but also entered the Hanlin Academy, and became a Shujishi.

This kind of person consciously has a sacred aura in the Ming Dynasty, and almost all the ministers and monks in the middle and late Ming Dynasty are almost all from Hanlin Shujishi, with occasional exceptions, but they are also counted on one hand.

Because of this, Huang Liji thinks that this kind of impact is extremely bad.

And after this person arrived in Wuchang, he also made a big noise, obviously Li Zicheng also saw the use value of this person, and to a certain extent, borrowed this person...... It can greatly discourage many people.

Look, even the Jishi took the initiative to defect to the army, why can't we? Is this Da Ming really exhausted?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse only felt ridiculous, and said disdainfully: "I don't recognize this person, he is something." ”

"Sun Zhiqi?" Zhang Jingyi's heart moved, and he couldn't help but say on the side: "This person, the minister has heard of it." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi in surprise and subconsciously said, "When have you heard of it?" ”

"......" Zhang Jing was speechless for a while.

He can't say that in another historical time and space, that Sun Zhiqi took refuge in the Jiannu people, and he also made a direct change in the course of history.

What did this guy do at the time?

When Jiannu first entered the customs, the officials of Jiannu wore the clothes of Jiannu, while Hanchen allowed them to wear the official uniforms of the original Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the officials of Jiannu stood on the left, and Hanchen stood on the right.

But in order to curry favor with Emperor Shunzhi, one day when he was in the last court, he actually wore the clothes of the Jiannu people and stood on the side of the Jiannu officials.

At this moment, it annoyed the officials of Jiannu, what are you, wearing our clothes, and you still want to pretend to be a flag man?

So, the Jiannu people pushed him out. Han Chen, on his side, also thought that he was wearing the clothes of Jiannu and refused to let him come to the class.

Sun Zhiqi was very embarrassed at that time, so he was embarrassed and angry, so he gave a note to Emperor Shunzhi, and said: "Your Majesty has pacified China, everything is new, and the system of dressing and bundling is the only one that exists in the old Han Dynasty, this is Your Majesty from China, not China from Your Majesty." ”

Therefore, it was suggested that Emperor Shunzhi asked the Hanchen and Han people in the world to shave their hair and wear the clothes of the Jiannu people, and even he was the first to set an example and shave his own hair first.

For Emperor Jiannu, this Sun Zhiqi's book is simply a sleepy person sent a pillow, so he naturally took this opportunity to issue a shaving order.

Zhang Jingyi only regretted at this time, he forgot such a guy, he knew that when he was in the capital or in Shandong, he should have killed him to save trouble.

Huang Liji said at this time: "This Sun Zhiqi went to Wuchang, Li Zicheng admired him greatly, perhaps because he wanted to set him up as an example, so he awarded him the position of the right strategist. What the minister is worried about is that Li Zicheng won Sun Zhiqi, and his intention was to divide and disintegrate the prefectures and counties in various places...... will be greatly affected. ”

This time, Huang Liji was very clever and did not propose the implementation of the new policy, which may lead to the centrifugal betrayal of morality by the gentry of the world.

To tell the truth, he didn't dare to say this, besides, if the stock plummeted again, those gentry from all over the country would live, but these people in the capital would have to die.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said with anger: "These scholars and scholars, on weekdays, all say that the monarch and the ministers are the kings and ministers, and they all say that the princes of heaven and earth are the teachers, and now that I am just doing a new policy, can they take refuge in the Liukou one after another?" ”

Huang Liji looked embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Your Majesty...... Everyone has to eat. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse sneered: "Even if the new policy is implemented, they will not starve to death, although they have received their land, don't I know that they have a lot of other livelihoods?" If I don't give them back the fame, will I starve them? Emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and I don't believe that if I implement a new policy, I can starve them to death. ”

Huang Liji said: "But Li Zicheng also gave fame, and he wanted to continue the system of Emperor Taizu Gao." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "If I have to obediently send fame and fortune to them with laughter, so that they are willing to be loyal, then what is the use of such loyalty?" This Sun Zhiqi ...... It's really hateful, and the impact is extremely bad, so I ordered the sea to capture it, as for this Li Zicheng...... Now it seems that this person has ill intentions and has a very big plan, and in just a few months, he has gained a firm foothold in Jingxiang and spread to several provinces, which cannot be underestimated. ”

Huang Liji said: "The minister also heard that they robbed a lot of clans, and with the help of the gentry, they collected a lot of money and grain. They claim to have 200,000 soldiers, and if the court doesn't solve it, I'm afraid it will be a big problem. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, thought about it, and then looked at Zhang Jing: "Zhang Qing...... Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong, the two thieves, must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise, continue to let this Li Zicheng continue, I am afraid that I will really have a long night. ”

Zhang Jingyi frowned and said: "These rogues, as soon as the officials and soldiers arrive, they will flee in all directions and disappear...... It's tricky indeed. ”
