As his mind gradually recovered, Chongzhen also thought clearly about the whole situation. It was indeed the old locust tree that saved him. Moreover, it was also true that he was a thousand years later. The many experiences in his mind were proof. At this time, he even heard
You have to understand the Yi language.
Forget it, the matter has come to this, and I will no longer seek death and life. The ancestors of the Zhu family have blessed me, and the world will not be destroyed tomorrow. Today De Yue (Chongzhen Zi De Yue) will not die. He vows to rejuvenate the world, and he will not enter the Ancestral Temple if he dies against Liaodong!
To talk about the magic of this old locust tree, there is a saying in Taoism that people have three souls and seven souls, one of which is indispensable. But at this time, Chongzhen Rong II was a human being, with one extra soul and one soul, but he was fine, and his character changed drastically.
He is no longer as suspicious and uncertain as before, and presumably his character flaws have been made up for.
Hey, not to mention Chongzhen himself, even if Daluo Jinxian came, he would still be amazed. It is so mysterious and mysterious.
Chongzhen rubbed his temples with his left hand and began to think about the next countermeasures.
Suddenly, he had an idea and handed his right hand to Wang Chengen. Upon seeing this, Wang hurriedly helped Chongzhen up and slowly looked at his master with an eager look on his face.
"What time is it now?" Seeing that the night was getting dark, Chongzhen asked.
"Long live my lord, it's about time I was born." Wang Cheng'en replied.
"Do you know who I saw just now?" Chongzhen said while pointing to the old locust tree. Wang Chengen shook his head repeatedly.
"Slave... I don't know."
"I have just died once. I went underground and met Emperor Taizu Hongwu. He told me that the Ming Dynasty was not dead yet and asked me to come back as soon as possible and become an emperor honestly. By the way, he also passed on my ten strategies for governing the country.
, you see, even the tree trunk was cut off by Emperor Hongwu."
Wang Chengen bowed his waist and shrank his shoulders. He looked down and felt a chill on his back. He also pointed at the old locust tree. In this dark night, he couldn't see clearly. He seemed to have really seen a figure, "Long live it."
I mean, I mean too... too..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chongzhen.
"Hey, I can say it, but you can't. Taizu is watching."
After Wang Cheng'en heard this, he quickly lay down and bowed to the ground, shouting, "I'm a slave that talks nonsense about the Heavenly Family. I deserve to die. I forgive you, Emperor Taizu Hongwu. I forgive you, Emperor Taizu Hongwu."
Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction. This was exactly what he wanted. Firstly, it was easier to explain some "weirdness" that might occur to him in the future. Secondly, he understood that if he wanted to survive this time, he must go south. Then
In the future, we will definitely face accusations from some officials about "escaping the emperor south". At that time, we can spread the matter through Wang Chengen's mouth in advance to stop the civil officials' tongue. This can be regarded as a way to deal with it.
Chongzhen looked towards the capital, and saw countless beating fires flickering, which must be the intruders besieging the city.
So he hurriedly tried to take two steps, but suddenly he felt weak under his feet. His calves felt weak and he almost fell. Wang Chengen wanted to step forward, but was stopped.
Although he could not remember the specific time when the intruders invaded the inner city, the situation was critical and every second must count.
Regardless of his weak legs, he pulled Wang Chengen's sleeve and started to go down the mountain. As he walked, he said, "Chengen, how much do you know about the situation outside the palace?"
Wang Chengen didn't react for a while, and was dragged along for a while. He was talking about the situation outside the palace, but he was wondering in his heart, when did Long Live Lord have such strong hands?
Outside Zhengyang Gate, the Dashun Army and the Chinese Army’s military tent
There was a dark-skinned man sitting on the table. He was not tall, but he looked lean and restrained, with protruding cheekbones, deep eye sockets, a hooked nose and triangular eyes. He was wearing a golden lacquered mountain armor and a large vermilion cloak.
Angry and powerful, there is a hint of a king's spirit. Without him, Li Zicheng is the king of Chuang.
The people sitting at the bottom were naturally his favorite generals who had followed him to the capital this time. At this time, one of the generals in armor spoke.
"King Chuang... uh... Your Majesty, I don't understand. What are we doing in Mu Nang (wasting time)? How can a small city gate stump a few of my brothers? Let me take two thousand
Laoying, I will seize the Zhengyang Gate of Lao Shizi in a quarter of an hour and enter the land of his Ming Dynasty dog emperor, my wife."
As soon as the general in armor finished speaking, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe sitting opposite him spoke.
"Li Guo, how dare you! It's rude to be rude in front of His Majesty, it's me and his mother, how unbecoming it is!"
The tall man in armor also smiled sarcastically when he heard this and scratched his head, "Well, that's what I meant, but I don't dare to be rude. I can't say it in such a formal way."
The middle-aged scribe seemed not to want to let him go, and was about to speak again when Li Zicheng, who had been silent, spoke.
"Prime Minister Niu, you four (it's okay), we are all brothers who conquered the world together. Well, this nephew is also eager to achieve success, brave and commendable, and deserves the nickname of a tiger, haha."
At this point, the identities of the middle-aged scribe and the general in armor have become clear. One is Li Zicheng's confidant, Niu Jinxing, who was awarded the position of prime minister some time ago, and Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew and one of his old camp tiger generals.
.
"Old Liu, I see you haven't spoken a word, but do you have something on your mind? Tell your brothers." Li Zicheng motioned to Liu Zongmin who was nearest him.
Liu Zongmin was a blacksmith by trade. He was tall and powerful. He was now the general of Li Zicheng's camp. He was seated closest to each other, which shows his status in the army.
"It's easy to say, Zhengyangmen is either impossible to defeat, or it's just a pretense and not serious. Look, His Majesty has his own plans in mind, brothers just obey his orders."
Li Zicheng laughed loudly after hearing this, "Old Liu, you know it. The Forbidden City is right in front of us. Brothers can't hold it back. They want to make fun of Chongzhen. You know it. But don't panic.
We are not like we were then, and we can't do anything wrong. Originally, we planned to ask Chongzhen for the northwest, make a king and rule the world together, and at the same time reward the brothers with some money to spend, so who and who was sent specially?
"
Li Zicheng couldn't remember it for a moment, so Niu Jinxing replied: "Your Majesty, this is Du Xun, the eunuch of the Shangshan Supervisor in the Forbidden Palace."
"Yes, yes, Du Xun, I asked him to send a message to Chongzhen. Guess what, what did this old boy Chongzhen say to me? What did I say?" He looked at Niu Jinxing again.
Niu Jinxing cleared her throat and said, "It's my plan, but there is another purpose."
After hearing this, Li Zicheng slapped his big hand on the table, making a "bump" sound, which startled everyone. They stood up angrily and said: "Thief, your mother! I have a hundred thousand troops surrounding the capital. I can't bear to commit any more crimes.
Dafa kindly gave him a day to calculate the total. He just wanted to appoint a northwest king to rule the world, and asked for some money! How dare you hang me when death is imminent! Send my military order, the soldiers rest, and start cooking at the fourth watch.
, attack at the fifth watch!”
"yes!"
Everyone stood up after hearing the order, and Li Zicheng waved his hand.
"Let's all disperse, Li Guo stays."
After the rest of the people left the camp, Li Zicheng called Li over to him and said softly: "I have received military orders to lead my old camp to attack Dongzhimen. This gate is supported by our army's internal lines and can be struck with one strike. The first victory will be yours."
"
After hearing this, Li Guo was overjoyed. He knelt down on one knee and bowed, "Thank you, uncle!"
"Go ahead."
When Li Zicheng was the only one left in the waiting room, his true feelings were revealed. The imperial city was so close and within easy reach, but what the hell did the Northwest King want? This capital has a lot of money, and it still needs Chongzhen to give it to him? I'll take it myself!
The reason why I postponed it for a day is that after all, I am no longer a bandit, and I have to be dignified in everything I do, and pay attention to the integrity of my name. If you Chongzhen can't succeed, don't blame me for being behind.
When I hold the enthronement ceremony, I will be the true co-owner of the world!
Although he has experienced many battles, Li Zicheng was inevitably unable to calm down when faced with such temptations, and was both nervous and excited.
I wonder who in the world doesn’t want to be the emperor?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Li Zicheng was so itchy that he couldn't help but sing in Shaanxi Qinqiang: "I will cut myself off, dare to pull the emperor off his horse, pull him off his horse." This chapter has been completed!
