Li Laiheng grabbed the iron helmet on his head and explained sheepishly: "It's easy to say, I will change it next time."

The tall, fat scribe wanted to say something else, but Li Zicheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Niu, it's just a title. You can call this kid whatever you like."

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Zhengyang Gate and said in a cold voice: "This Chongzhen is quite generous now. Why didn't he know how to pay the border troops back then? Why didn't he give out money for disaster relief when there were so many hungry people in the world waiting for food?"

At this time, the people staying with Li Zicheng in the restaurant were either young generals or "civil servants" like Niu Jinxing. As for those capable generals, they were basically leading troops outside.

After Li Zicheng became emperor, his majesty grew stronger. Li Laiheng, the most favored among the young generals, had just been trained by Niu Jinxing. Naturally, no one dared to take Li Zicheng's words randomly at this time.

Niu Jinxing, on the other hand, smiled and flattered: "If Chongzhen understood these principles like His Majesty, he wouldn't have asked us to attack the capital."

As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome young scholar beside him raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. When Chongzhen was in power, most of the military expenditures were spent in Liaodong. The amount sent to other places naturally decreased, and was deducted by the generals at every turn."

, the officers and soldiers below would not get much pay.

As for disaster relief, since Chongzhen came to the throne, there have been many natural disasters, and it may not be possible to take care of them everywhere.

Even if there is food and money for disaster relief, it will still be corrupted by corrupt officials, and it is estimated that less than 10% of it will be distributed to the victims in the end."

After hearing this, Niu Jinxing didn't even think about it, so she sneered and said: "Li Yan, what do you mean by this, is that the destruction of the world has nothing to do with Chongzhen, and we should all be considerate of him?"

It turned out that this handsome young scholar was Li Yan, one of Li Zicheng's four great advisers.

"Prime Minister Niu has misunderstood." Li Yan frowned slightly, but was not impatient. He looked at Li Zicheng and said, "I just want to tell your Majesty that when we govern the world in the future, we should learn from the decline of the Ming Dynasty and take it as a warning.

, don’t let corrupt officials destroy a good country.”

Although there are not many corrupt people in the Dashun Army at present, Niu Jinxing is definitely one of them.

So when he heard Li Yan's words, he got furious and shouted coldly: "Li Yan, does your Majesty still need you to teach him how to behave? Who do you think you are?!"

'Sowing discord again?'

Li Yan snorted in his heart and was about to refute Niu Jinxing, but he heard Li Zicheng speak.

"Okay, I just said a few words casually, how come you two are quarreling over this?" Li Zicheng showed an unhappy look, and then looked at Li Yan and asked: "When will the siege equipment such as Lu Gong's chariot you mentioned be available?"

Finished?"

Li Yan said: "Reporting to your majesty, the walls of the capital city are very high, and Lu Gong's chariot must be built high enough, so it took some time.

However, the capital has enough wood and manpower, and the first batch of Lu Gong's cars and other equipment can be built before dark."

Li Zicheng nodded after hearing this and said: "As soon as the construction is completed, attack the city immediately. There is no need to delay it any longer."

"I understand."

Just when Li Yan agreed, he heard an unusual sound coming from the north.

The sound obviously came from the Zhengyang Gate, but it was incredibly loud, allowing them to hear it clearly. It couldn't be a normal person's voice.

After listening to a few words, the expressions of Li Zicheng, Li Yan, Niu Jinxing and others changed.

"Li Zicheng! We are Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty!

We are all enjoying happiness in heaven, but I heard that there are people in the world who are trying to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and have invaded the capital, so I asked the Lord of Hell to check your life.

I thought you would be the same hero as we were back then. If so, even if I leave this Ming Dynasty to you, I never thought you would be such a thing.

From your early years of rebellion until a few years ago, you have been leading thieves around to cause chaos for more than ten years. You do not know how to manage the land or protect the people.

!

This is unkind!

You and Luo Rucai called each other brothers, and even in terms of rebellion, he was your senior, but you killed him in order to annex his tribe.

There is also Yuan Shizhong, the little Yuan camp. Although he was also a rebel, he did not commit any crime against the poor people. He even fought bloody battles with the Tatars to protect the Han people. I don't know how many times Bill and others were stronger.

But because he refused to surrender to you and did not tolerate you, you brutally killed him and devoured his tribe.

Later, He Yilong and Lin Chengcheng, who were killed in the fifth camp of Gezuo, did the same.

This is unjust!

We also heard that after you Jianyuan became emperor, in order to find a famous ancestor for yourself, you actually recognized the Xixia Emperor Li Yuanhao, who was a Dangxiang person, as your ancestor, abandoning your Han identity.

What do your Han ancestors think of calling you "higher" like this? Maybe they want to climb out of their graves and whip you?

You are being unfilial!

As for being loyal, let alone a traitor like you.

You are so unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial, yet you still want to dominate the world?

What a joke!

Since we have sent down a decree from heaven, I am not afraid to tell you that even if you enter the capital and sit on the throne, you will not be able to sit still in this world.

Not only will you be unable to sit still, but you will also lose your lifespan and die at the hands of an old farmer in just over a year.

Moreover, you will also cause the slaves to seize the land of China, and make China become a land of fishy smell again, and you will become a sinner for the ages!!"

Hearing this, everyone around Li Zicheng looked shocked, but they couldn't help but look at Li Zicheng secretly, with strange expressions on their faces.

I saw Li Zicheng's old face covered with vicissitudes of life as red as blood, his teeth clenched, and his one eye staring, as if his yellow-brown eyeballs were about to fall out.

Niu Jinxing and Li Yan on the side knew that they should speak out to refute the loud voice at this time, but they were afraid (perplexed) of his identity as "Zhu Yuanzhang" and hesitated.

Unexpectedly, just a few breaths later, that majestic sound actually sounded again.

"Li Zicheng! We are Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty!

We are all enjoying happiness in heaven, but I heard..."

here we go again?!!

Niu Jinxing, Li Yan and others were even more shocked when they heard the loud voice coming again, with the same tone and volume as before.

Many people even thought to themselves: Could it be that Ming Taizu Zhu Hongwu really appeared?

For a moment, everyone was silent, listening to the loud voice repeating the previous words.

After a few breaths, it happened again for the third time!

But this time, after only hearing the beginning, Li Zicheng couldn't help it anymore. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards!

Li Laiheng had quick eyesight and quick hands. He stepped over and supported Li Zicheng.

"King Chuang? King Chuang? Are you okay?"

Li Zicheng waved his hand, stood firm, took a long breath, then looked at Zhengyang Tower with a cold light in his one eye, and said sternly: "Attack the city! Attack the city immediately!"

He was furious.

Because although there are some untruths in what "Zhu Yuanzhang" said, it generally revealed all the dirty information about him.

Even he himself had never thought before that he had become an unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial person!

What annoyed him most was that the voice of "Zhu Yuanzhang" was so loud that half of the outer city could have heard it.

What does this mean for him?

At the same time, there was also a faint fear in his heart.

I was afraid that this loud sound was actually the appearance of Zhu Hongwu, who had already become a god in heaven.

If so, wouldn't he, a mortal, be seeking death by fighting against the immortal Zhu Hong?

But he has already come this far, and Zhu Hongwu will never let him go.

Therefore, he had to attack the city before the impact of this incident was revealed, so that the generals and soldiers below him would not have time to think about it.

"Your Majesty, no!" Li Yan on the side immediately spoke out to dissuade him, "The siege equipment has not been built yet. At this time, the only way to attack the city is to attack the city with ants, and there will definitely be heavy casualties.

Although our army now has hundreds of thousands in the capital, there are only tens of thousands of them capable of fighting. If we lose too much due to the siege, it will be difficult to control the overall situation later!"

Li Zicheng is usually quite able to listen to opinions and treats his subordinates well.

But at this moment, he suddenly stared at Li Yan, with murderous intent in his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said: "Uh, siege the city!!"

The look in Li Yan's eyes made Li Zicheng's heart tremble, and he hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say another word.

Niu Jinxing rolled his eyes and said to the other young general: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and convey His Majesty's orders?"

The young general came to his senses, immediately took the command flag and ran out.

The young general rode a horse under the restaurant and ran northward shouting——

"Your Majesty has a decree, attack the city immediately! Your Majesty has a decree, attack the city immediately..."
Chapter completed!
