"Today Chuang, Xian and bear the overwhelming rebellion, and it is easy to control Xian, but difficult to control Chuang. Gaixian is feared by people; Chuang is attached to others."

Offer a thief, break into a thief.

For the imperial court, there were only two bandits, but for the imperial court, the real trouble was the intruders. After all, when Li Zicheng came out of Henan again, he entrusted the army of benevolence and righteousness to call on the hungry people, and even asked the people to "eat pots" one after another.

Compared with Zhang Xianzhong, who "exploited and raped like a hungry wolf", he was naturally not worth mentioning.

To a certain extent, Li Zicheng did threaten the Ming Dynasty, not only because he occupied most of Henan and Shaanxi, but more importantly, he showed the momentum to dominate the world.

Ever since Li Zicheng captured Tongguan and then Xi'an, he began to prepare intensively to seize the world. In fact, as early as last year, he had already dreamed of becoming an emperor. In May last year, he changed Xiangyang to Xiangjing and named the country

"Xinshun". On the sixth day of October, he broke through Tongguan and on the eleventh day, he entered Xi'an and named the country "Dashun". A month later, Li Zicheng went back to Mizhi to pay homage to his ancestors.

On Li Zicheng's way to Mizhi to worship his ancestors, Li Zicheng finally got the engraved "Jiashen Calendar". Looking at this almanac, Li Zicheng was naturally very happy. He even read it from beginning to end under the lamp regardless of the fatigue of the saddle and horse. He

Looking at the red text on the yellow paper "Da Shun Qin issued the Imperial Calendar of the Jiashen Year in the First Year of Yongchang", I felt a sense of joy and excitement about taking over the imperial power for the first time, filling my heart and becoming intoxicated without realizing it.

"It's time to publish this almanac to the world..."

Li Zicheng couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Every winter, the almanac is issued in the name of the emperor, commonly known as the imperial calendar. The issuance of the imperial calendar within a country is the prerogative of the emperor and is also a symbol of imperial power. Although Li Zicheng has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, he actually has the status of emperor and only needs to officially ascend to the throne.

"But what if someone questions it?"

Staring at the imperial calendar, Li Zicheng muttered to himself again.

"Then conquer the capital as soon as possible and ascend to the throne in the capital! ascend to the throne and become the emperor!"

Once again, Li Zicheng laughed. When he was laid off from the post station, when did he ever think that such a day would come!

The Lao Li family actually has an emperor!

The folks in Mizhi must have never imagined that the old Li family would actually have an emperor!

This is really an old grave with wormwood growing on it!

…

When Li Zicheng triumphantly returned to Chang'an from Mizhi, Liu Zongmin, Song Xiance and other officials and generals greeted him hundreds of miles away from Chang'an and reported various major events to the court in person. After all, during this period, various large-scale wars and wars were going on.

Small-scale military activities are still going on, and things like recruiting outstanding talents, promoting talents, fixing uniforms and colors, and changing the official system are also going on. Although these things are reported to him through Kuai Ma, they still have to be reported in person.

of.

As Li Zicheng's prime minister, Song Xiance was indeed extremely cautious.

As for Tian Jianxiu, he led the high-status civil and military officials to pick him up thirty miles away. The remaining civil and military officials and gentry, numbering more than a thousand, also knelt outside the city to pick him up. Even if he had not yet become emperor,

The emperor's grandeur was finally revealed.

Riding a tall horse from Liaodong, Li Zicheng rode slowly. There were ceremonial guards and instrumental music handed over from the Qin Palace as a guide, and a palace maid held a gold incense burner burning sandalwood to guide the way. For a while, the smoke was thick, like a fairyland. There was also an armored warrior.

He was riding a horse and holding a yellow umbrella, walking in front of him. The road leading to the palace was paved with yellow sand.

As for the streets along the street, they were also cleaned. Of course, there were people kneeling on the street, kneeling on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads. Even if they were fake emperors, they could still be beheaded.

Facing this grand reception, Li Zicheng sighed inwardly. More than ten years ago, he had thought that such a day would come. He even remembered the situation when he entered Luoyang. It was considered majestic at the time, but why

How can it compare with today’s magnificence?

Today's scene should be like the words in the book "call for warning"!

This is a given!

This comes from the fact that he fought hard for more than ten years, killing each other with swords and guns.

well!

It’s hard-won!

But no matter how difficult it is, the world can still be conquered!

Although he was quite excited, when he thought about the world, he couldn't help but consider that part of the Eastern Expedition army had already begun to cross the Yellow River. Li Guo had already crossed the river, and Liu Zongmin would leave soon, and he would set off later. Thinking of Shanxi's empty

, we will advance victoriously all the way, and it won’t be long before we reach the top in Beijing.

The great success of the old Li family is now clearly within sight.

Although he has never been to Beijing, he has long been very familiar with the various descriptions of Beijing's inner city, outer city, and imperial city. He even specially kept an old eunuch from Prince Fu's Mansion, who was from the Imperial Palace.

When he came out of the palace, he asked the eunuch to tell him what the imperial city looked like.

The capital is good, so is the emperor.

But it’s not as good as Chang’an!

Shaanxi is his hometown!

If wealth does not return to its hometown, it will be like walking in brocade at night. In the future, the capital of Dashun will still be Chang'an!

In the future, Chang'an City will definitely be better than the capital city, and it will also restore the scale of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. There are mountains and rivers here, and by then, Dashun will definitely be another prosperous Tang Dynasty. He even paid special attention to the already widened city.

Streets, even the streets in Datang, are not that wide.

Finally, when he arrived at the Meridian Gate, he got off his horse and ordered all the officials to go back to the Yamen to handle matters. Then he ordered the prime minister, military advisor, and Ruhou Liu Zongmin to enter the palace two hours later to discuss matters.

Two hours later, Liu Zongmin and Song Xiance arrived at the palace. This was the former Qin Prince's Palace and now Li Zicheng's palace. Even though he was not the emperor yet, he was already used to this being his palace.

As soon as Liu Zongmin came in, Li Zicheng asked:

"Have you decided to leave in the next few days?"

Liu Zongmin replied.

"The twentieth day of this month is the auspicious day of the zodiac. I have agreed with the military advisor and Prime Minister Sun that we will set off from Chang'an on the twentieth day. The troops of the Eastern Expedition are now concentrated in the Hancheng area and are on standby. Some troops have already crossed over in three ways.

Luo Hu of the Yellow River came back from escorting Mizhi. When he arrived at Pucheng, the emperor ordered him not to return to Chang'an, so he turned east from Pucheng and went to Hancheng first. He was the vanguard general. He thought he would travel all night, but now he might not

We have already crossed the river from Hancheng area."

Li Zicheng turned to Sun Yemao and Song Xiance and said:

"I read the message you drafted for Jiexuan on the road a few days ago. Is there anything else that needs to be changed?"

The memorandum was drafted by Song Xiance and one of his staff. When Li Zicheng asked, he quickly stood up respectfully and replied:

"The manuscript was carefully scrutinized by the ministers. Prime Minister Kong and Ruhou were also asked to read it before it was reported to the emperor. However, this was a message for the first Eastern Expedition, and it was extremely important. Therefore, it had to wait for the emperor's personal consideration and revision.

Dare to engrave and print."

Li Zicheng nodded lightly, picked up the manuscript from the imperial desk, handed it to the military advisor, and said:

"Now let's think about it together. Okay, you sit down and read it slowly, and we all listen carefully to see if there is anything that needs to be changed."

Song Xiance sat down, held the neatly written manuscript in his hands, and read in an accent with an accent from eastern Henan:

"Dashun advocated righteousness and proposed that the commander-in-chief of the camp was ordered to conquer the matter..."

While reciting the message, Li Zicheng occasionally cast his eyes on the silent Prime Minister Sun. Prime Minister Sun defected here two years ago. In the past two years, the Prime Minister had come up with a lot of ideas. Without him, he had come up with so many ideas.

With those strategies, it is estimated that Dashun is not in the current situation, and it is precisely because of this that he has great trust in his prime minister.

It's just that this time, he seems different from usual. What other thoughts does Neng Xing have in his mind?

That's not right.

If I remember correctly, he supported the Northeastern Campaign.

Moreover, he also advocated an immediate expedition to the east.

Maybe this is the difference between scholars. After all, he was the official of the Ming Dynasty. It was because he knew that the Ming Dynasty was about to reach its end, so you were absent-minded.

After all, these scholars are always very pedantic, and they always have some orthodox ideas in their hearts. Even if they rebel, they will always think of the emperor in their hearts, but now that he has defected to them.
