"The lonely Yinchuan postman started from poverty and ran among the wild sand. However, the bureaucrats were dark and corrupt, and the rise of the stolen power was really helpless. It was not a rebellion against His Majesty!"

"Now the army is approaching the city, there is no way to do anything! I really did not encounter the saint emperor who was harmed and diligent and enlightened, so I sent an envoy to come! If the court agreed to peace, stolen the northwest and enthroned the king, and listed it as a country, rewarding one million taels of silver to my army, I can retreat to Henan, and conquering the enemy within the court, and reaching the Liao vassals outside!"

"Looking forward, I hope the Holy Emperor's Book!"

Du Xun's hoarse voice made the whole Linfu Palace silent. He never expected that Li Chuang would give in to the verge of a destruction of his country. In this way, everyone's glory and wealth would be preserved, and the Ming Dynasty would not perish. As for the cedes of the northwest, not to mention that this place was already in the hands of Li Zicheng, even if it was not there, no one wanted to care about this place that had been deserted for nine years in ten years.

As for being named king, it would never be possible if Chongzhen had 15 years ago, but now he has been named King of Liao, so what can he do if he is named King of Qin? As the saying goes, one sheep is also to drive away, and two sheep are also to let go!

Not only were the civil and military officials in the court excited, but even the emperor, like Chongzhen, became thoughtful.

The fate of the empire seems to have turned around again.

But this turning point came to an abrupt end with the next sentence of Emperor Chongzhen.

"What do you think?"

…………

The timing copper drips in the palace, and water drops fell into the basin below, and the sound of falling into the water became the only sound in Linfu Palace. The king and his ministers once again fell into a deadly war.

As long as one person stands up and nods, the resolution will be agreed. However, this time, even loyal ministers like Li Mingrui do not have the courage to stand up! Some people, such as Wei Zaode, Li Jiantai, etc., are worried about Chongzhen's settlement of the future. It is not a trivial matter to cut off half of the country! Others, such as Li Mingrui, Li Banghua, are concerned about the authenticity of this matter. After all, now they are at the city, so how easy is Li Chuang to speak?

Once he agreed and vented his morale, Li Zicheng took the gold and silver and retreated, and then took advantage of the slackness of the Ming Dynasty to kill, and there was nothing left! Didn’t the Jin Dynasty use this trick to destroy Song back then? Poor Song’s family endured the humiliation of Jingkang and paid Princess Wang Ji as slaves and all his wives, concubines and daughters to the Jin people, but he still couldn’t escape the disaster of destroying the country. Together, it would be better to fight these bandits to the death and make a name for themselves!

Among them, the most uneasy one is the chief assistant Wei Zaode. Sweat beads fell down his forehead, because the emperor's eyes were always on his forehead. Now, he has experienced the hardships of Chen Yan roasting on the fire.

However, until now, he has mastered his old turtle skills. He didn't say a word if Chongzhen stared at him.

The hard suppression lasted for no reason until the last drop of water flowed out from the copper dripping, and the eunuchs in the palace kept ringing, and a ray of sunshine shone slowly in the hall from the east. The disheartened Emperor Chongzhen finally stood up dullly and waved his hands to the ministers tiredly.

"Your family will go back to the yamen to deal with war affairs and leave the court!"

Seeing that the emperor turned back to the inner hall, Du Xun, who had been kneeling on the ground for a night of fear, was also picked up by the angry Wang Chengen, and pushed him out, leaving only the trace of sweat on the ground, the group of ministers felt lost in their hearts, as if their bones were pulled out, and they walked out softly. This decadence seemed to fully demonstrate the decadence of the Ming Empire.

…………

The court was so weak that Du Xun dared not kill him! He sent someone to send him out, and Wang Chengen hurriedly followed into the back hall of Linfu Palace. In the backyard of the palace, he was standing on the railing. Emperor Chongzhen was staring at the swaying flowers and trees below. He didn't know which cherry tree was cultivated. In early spring, everything was about to revive. When the green sprouted, the tree was dry and withered like the firewood in the back kitchen, without any vitality.

Emperor Chongzhen stared at the dead branches.

Wang Chengen hesitated for a long time before he carefully inquired and inquired on the side.

"Your Majesty, you have been delayed for a night. Have you used breakfast before going to court?"

"No need! The minister will stop the court today! I will set up my way to the ancestral hall!"

The ancestral tombs of Changping were under the control of Li Zicheng. Now the army is besieging the city. Even if the morning court is in the morning, what can we discuss in the face of those cabinet ministers who have been criticizing? At this time, the emperor seemed to be a little completely discouraged. At this time, he just wanted to go to the ancestral hall to quiet for a while, and perhaps confess to the ancestors of the Ming Empire, so that he could slightly relieve his depression.

Listening to Chongzhen's orders, Wang Chengen's sadness made his nose sore, and he bowed heavily and answered with a dull bow.

"Old slave obeys the order!"

Turning around, Wang Chengen planned to handle Chongzhen's orders, but before he could walk out, the emperor's voice suddenly came from behind.

"By the way, since the marriage between Changping and the King of Liao has been settled, let her go to Duke Ji's Mansion more! It's also considered to be more filial piety!"

"Your Majesty, this..."

In this era, men and women are still defending each other, let alone the dignified princess. Wang Chengen immediately wanted to object, but his words had just reached his mouth, but he swallowed them back again. Once again, he bowed heavily.

"Old slave obeys the order!"

…………

On the other side, the rising sun rose sharply, awakening the nightmare of the capital, and also illuminated the camp of the rebels outside the city. With the sound of jingling, the huge camp unfolded like a huge ant nest. The infantry in the turtle clothes surrounded a large pot and swallowed hot porridge soup. Occasionally, officers took out the cans seized from Ningwu Pass and poured them in, which caused the soldiers to scream excitedly.

Although peace talks were proposed, did Li Zicheng have the sincerity to negotiate?

Of course not!

Although Li Chuang was not considered a long-term leader and a talented and ambitious leader, he still had ambitions. And at this time, he would not accept the capital, even if his subordinates did not agree.

This is also the usual trick of the peasant army. Before fighting a tough battle with the court, we should give in and cry for poverty, and then swear a little coldly.

So when Du Xun came back, Li Zicheng had already promoted the tent and summoned the generals to prepare for an attack on the capital.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty!"

His legs were already weak and his waist was bent. As soon as he returned to the tent, Du Xun slammed and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and asking for help.

Even if Xi'an was officially established, the Dashun Army had no knowledge of etiquette and rules, such as Liu Zongmin and Hao Yaoqi, and they still spoke to each other. The eunuch respectfully said to His Majesty, which undoubtedly made Li Zicheng very happy. When he raised his head from the map, his one-eye seemed to have a bit of smile patterns. He was full of energy and shouted carelessly.

"Eunuch, what? Did the son Chongzhen agree to my peace talks?"

"Return, your Majesty, I did not agree..."

After all, I have been a eunuch in the Ming Dynasty for a long time. Du Xun was still quite unaccustomed to it when he heard Li Zicheng's vulgar name Chongzhen. He stumbled for a while and then answered with difficulty.

"Last night, the slave brought His Majesty's edict to the palace and summoned him in front of the ministers of the court. Chongzhen and his ministers were trapped all night, and without saying a word, he drove the slave out in the early morning."

"What? Talking about war or not, saying that there is no harmony! These sour scholars who have a few taels of ink in their stomachs are just unhappy!"

Even the people in the rebel army did not expect this result. The sound was buzzing. Liu Zongmin was a simple voice and shouted loudly, and at the same time he turned his face and muttered roughly.

"If you want me, brother is just a troublesome. We have all fallen into the Qin army of Yuan Manzi. Just a few master soldiers in the capital, just a big blade. What kind of politeness should I do?”

"That's it! Is it superfluous!"

Several rude generals nodded and praised, but no one noticed that Li Zicheng's generous broad face under his big felt hat seemed to have a stiff smile.

Fortunately, there were still people who could talk. They were as thin as the ones in the TV series, and they picked up treacherously. Niu Jinxing smiled cunningly and hugged Li Zicheng heavily and clasped his fists.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! The army is coming to the city, and the court is still fighting and trapped. The ministers, snakes and rats, are unstable, and the Ming Dynasty has no desire to fight. This huge world will be His Majesty's belonging in an instant, which is a happy congratulation!"

On the other side, another adviser Gu Junen also smiled and bowed heavily to Li Zicheng.

"At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu asked Liu Bowen about the fate of the country. Liu Gong said: If you meet the right situation, stop it! Now the image of the Ming Dynasty's destruction is everywhere. It is officially time for Your Majesty to fly into the sky!"

He also put on a motto! Li Zicheng was very happy to listen to the auspicious words of the two civil officials. The unhappiness brought by a few vulgar martial artists just now disappeared. He laughed and slapped the table, shook his head and hummed.
Chapter completed!
