Hearing Zhang Xianzhong's words, the civil and military ministers in the hall, including Tang Youqing, who was kneeling on the ground, were stunned.

What is this?

Could it be that killing the Hongguang envoy Tang Youqing will promote joint negotiations between the two countries and eventually reach an alliance agreement?

This idea may not be too strange, it is simply beyond the imagination of normal people.

For a moment, the whole court was as quiet as if it was dead.

Zhang Xianzhong looked around everyone and then sneered again: "Everyone, if my Daxi Kingdom promised the Hongguang regime unconditionally and agreed to their request for alliance, the Hongguang regime would only make the Hongguang regime look down on me. Besides, Lao Zhang also said that there is no reason to ask for help from others, but he would not give any benefit. I think that I will send troops and efforts to help the Hongguang regime, who is struggling to defeat the rebel Li Xiao, would have to make great efforts, but they would not even be willing to take it out as a small southern Sichuan gift. It is really outrageous!"

Zhang Xianzhong's eyes became colder and more severe when he said this: "As for why I must kill this person, it is actually very simple, because I hope that the Hongguang Supervisor understand that my Daxi Kingdom is not something that can be played casually! If you want to form an alliance with my Daxi and if you want my Daxi to send troops to help, you must show your sincerity and never fool it! In order to let them understand this, I, Lao Zhang, of course, can only use this good head of Tang Man Wai first. I want to use this method to let them understand that there is no free lunch in the world, and there is no good thing that allows others to help for nothing, but don't have to pay any price!"

"Your Majesty, although you think so, you are not worried. What if Hongguang's monarch and ministers feel humiliated and no longer form an alliance with me?" Right Prime Minister Yan Ximing looked worried.

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and turned his head, his eyes stabbed Yan Ximing in the face like two sharp knives: "Xi Ming, do you think that the Hongguang Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, who was in a state of stagnation, would they have the ability to negotiate with us?! If we still want to argue with our Daxi for this southern Sichuan area, then I would rather give them a happy time and completely dispel their little intention of bargaining. I do this, and I hope to cut the mess quickly, use this Tang Yuanwai's head to let them fully understand their situation, so as to wake up from the meaningless myth, and understand that my Daxi Country is the only way to speak and do things, and there is no room for negotiation!"

When Zhang Xianzhong said this, his eyes became more and more fierce. He shouted loudly: "Come here, take the envoy Tang, chop his head and present it to the steps!"

"Get orders!"

Four soldiers, like wolves and tigers, ran up from outside the hall quickly, grabbed Tang Youqing, who was kneeling on the ground, and dragged him out of the hall without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, no! Your Majesty, I am not guilty, please spare my life!" Tang Youqing struggled hard and let out a howl like a pig. He moved forward with all his might, trying to hold Zhang Xianzhong's thigh, but the four soldiers used great force, dragging him away step by step.

Zhang Xianzhong half raised his head, looking cold and ruthless without any negotiation.

On the entire hall, the ministers curled their heads and necks, silently. Only Tang Youqing's shrill wailing, who was dragged out of the hall, shook back and forth throughout the hall.

Soon, a shrill scream came from afar outside the hall, and then there was no more noise.

The sound of footsteps came, and the two soldiers hugged a box in their hands and ran into the hall quickly. A few steps away from Zhang Xianzhong, who was still standing in place, raised the box and knelt on one knee.

"Report! Your Majesty, this person's head is here, but please check it!"

Everyone looked around and could clearly see that in the hand of the leading soldier, a bloody head was placed in the center of the holding box. Those who were close together could clearly see that Tang Youqing's head was wide open and she could die with her eyes open.

Zhang Xianzhong glanced coldly, looked around everyone indifferently, and then sneered: "Right Prime Minister Yan Xi obeyed the order!"

Yan Ximing looked devastated, but he had to leave the list helplessly: "I am here."

"I will order you to send an envoy immediately, bring Tang Youqing's head, and join his accompanying envoys, and return to Fuzhou directly. My envoy from the West went this time to tell the Hongguang Supervisor that when Tang Youqing was negotiating with our country, he was vain and deceiving me, Lao Zhang, oh, it was wrong, I deliberately deceiving me, the Emperor of the West, so I had to behead him and show him the law to the public." Zhang Xianzhong said this, and couldn't help laughing and said again: "So, when you send an envoy to the Hongguang Supervisor, you want to keep your fantasy and cede southern Sichuan as soon as possible, you can form an alliance with me, Daxi, from then on, the two countries will make good friends and fight against Li Xiao together. Do you understand?"

Yan Ximing sighed for a long time and replied in a low voice: "Well, I understand."

Zhang Xianzhong nodded, then stretched his waist long and said to the ministers: "Okay, since that's the case, today's court meeting will end here. Xi ordered you to arrange the rest. By the way, I haven't killed anyone for two days, and my hands are really itchy. In the prison now, are there death row prisoners waiting to be killed? Just let me practice my sword."

Yan Ximing replied urgently: "Yes, yes, there are more than ten death row prisoners in the Chengdu prison. If the emperor is interested, he will try it out with his own hands."

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said nothing more. He waved his sleeves and announced his dispersion, so he quickly walked out of the hall.

After Zhang Xianzhong left the palace, the two kings of Pingdong, Sun Kewang and the right prime minister Yan Ximing, subconsciously looked at each other, and unconsciously showed helpless and bitter smiles.

About two weeks later, the envoy sent by Zhang Xianzhong finally arrived in Fuzhou City, and was summoned by the Hongguang Supervisor in the temporary palace.

Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Supervisor, saw that Tang Youqing's head was already dry and wrinkled in the box, his face was covered with dark red blood dirt, but his eyes were still wide open. He was shocked and almost screamed.

Fortunately, he forced himself to hold back and held his anger again. After hearing the cold scolding of the envoy of the Great Western Envoy, the anger in his heart was no longer enough.

It's tolerant, but who can't bear it!

Zhu Yousong gritted his teeth, his fat face trembled, his fat fist instantly clenched, and he was about to smash it down hard at the armrest of the dragon chair, but when he saw Ma Shiying shaking his head repeatedly at him, his fist stopped in mid-air.

Zhu Yousong endured the anger in his stomach and swallowed it. Finally, after listening to the Daxi envoy's story, he waved his hand powerlessly and signaled the envoy to retreat first.

The envoy of the Great Western Republic retreated, and Zhu Yousong's anger finally broke out completely.

He picked up a celadon tea cup in front of the imperial desk and slapped it hard on the ground. With a bang, fragments splashed everywhere, and the tea juice flew out, and the mess.

"Ma Yaocao! Why don't you let this governor kill these gangs of envoys in the West?" Zhu Yousong's forehead veins bloomed, his face flushed red. He roared at Ma Shiying, his voice as violently burning gunpowder: "You say! My heavenly dynasty is full of good intentions, and I am not afraid of being arrogant and noble. I went to negotiate an alliance with the thief Zhang Xianzhong. This guy was shameless. In addition to killing my envoy, Mr. Tang, and sent an envoy to force the land of southern Sichuan. It's really shameless! If this governor doesn't kill his envoys, how can he relieve the anger in his heart! You guy stopped me from killing these villains, are you ulterior motives? Did you bear any benefits from them?! You said, what are you saying?!"

Seeing Zhu Yousong asking so fiercely, Ma Shiying sighed repeatedly, but his face was depressed. He patiently heard Zhu Yousong get angry and replied with a wry smile: "Responsible for the country, I wish you a blunt, do you think we are so down and out now, what capital can we have to negotiate terms with Zhang Xianzhong?"

Ma Shiying's words made Zhu Yousong choke. He stubbornly asked sternly: "What nonsense is this! At least half of the country is in hand, why are you not as good as Zhang Xianzhong, a bandit who only belongs to Xichuan? Could it be that Zhang Xianzhong, who killed my envoy, would kill me. The governor would have to offer it to the southern Sichuan area with both hands to make an alliance? How ridiculous are you saying this!"

Ma Shiying smiled bitterly again. He shook his head slowly before whispering: "Jinguo, what's the point of your words, to be honest, are just angry words. Even if you get angry, what's the use?"

"Ma Yaocao! What do you mean by the fuck?!"

Ma Shiying thrust and knelt in front of Zhu Yousong, with a crystal flash in his eyes: "Responsible State, what kind of life do we live under Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Zhennan, now, do we still have to say more to the old minister? As a minister, what kind of attitude does he have towards the responsible State? Why do you have to let the responsible State poke this scar? Now, the responsible State is the name of the upper half of the country, but in fact, it is difficult for the responsible State to leave the palace, and all the power is basically controlled by Zheng Zhilong. How can the responsible State be self-dedicated?!"

When Ma Shiying said this, he paused deliberately. Zhu Yousong's face looked very ugly, and his expression was very awkward and complicated.

Only he himself knows how frustrating and helpless he has lived since the so-called capital of Fuzhou to the present.

Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Zhennan, relied on his achievements in saving the emperor and only maintained a minimum superficial respect for himself, the so-called Ming Dynasty governor. In addition, he was hindered everywhere and kept the Hongguang governor like a puppet. It can be said that after Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang governor, had already moved his capital to Fuzhou, it was basically the same as house arrest, and his personal function was similar to a rubber stamp.

Ma Shiying saw Zhu Yousong's expression become so ugly, and knew that he had been moved, so he further struck while the iron was hot: "The reason why Zhang Xianzhong was so powerful and rude and contemptuous of the ruling country was not that he saw that the ruling country is now weak and helpless and could only rely on powerful vassal states to survive. He was so arrogant and killed my envoy first, and then went to southern Sichuan. This bandit leader is really hateful, but if the ruling country really wanted to kill these envoys, I am afraid that my Hongguang Dynasty will no longer be able to reach any agreement with the Daxi regime, and the goal of restoring Jiangnan and driving Li Xiao away will never be achieved. By then, the ruling country will be at the mercy of Zheng Zhilong day after day, and will become..."

"Enough! Don't say anything more!"

Zhu Yousong's face was ferocious, and blue veins bloomed on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Then what do you think I should do now?! Do you really have to endure such shame and ced the land in southern Sichuan to surrender to Zhang Xianzhong?!"

Ma Shiying's face was complicated, and he replied tremblingly: "The situation in the country is stronger than that of others. How can we do it as we please? In the opinion of my ministers, Zhang Xianzhong killed the envoy to coerce the country and seized the contract conditions of Sichuan. After all, for us now, the most important and most urgent thing is to defeat the dog thief Li Xiao! Only by defeating Li Xiao, retaking Jiangnan, and then I will move the capital back to Nanjing to take charge of the government and revitalize the court, so that we can completely get rid of the current puppet state and no longer be forced and controlled by Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Zhennan. Shu Wei said it ugly. Now we are like drowning people, and we must hold on to any straw."

"Then what you mean is that you must be ashamed of being humiliated and humiliated, and also agree to the conditions of Zhang Xianzhong, a bastard?" Zhu Yousong gritted his teeth and said this, with a faint light of tears in his eyes.

Ma Shiying sighed and replied, "The country is more important than returning to Nanjing and taking charge of the government affairs. What is this humiliation now? I think in the Spring and Autumn Period, King Goujian of Yue was willing to taste his feces in order to win the trust of King Fuchai of Wu. Why should we mention the humiliation that the country has suffered now compared to it? From the perspective of the following, as long as we endure this humiliation, get strong support, and finally defeat Li Xiao, take over the court again, and then select soldiers to train, train new troops, retake southern Sichuan, and even unify China, there is a great opportunity. Why should the country be too obsessed with the current cramped situation?"

After listening to Ma Shiying's so-called high-profile argument, Zhu Yousong was speechless for a long time.

He sat on the dragon chaise like a puppet, with his head hanging deep, with a very depressed expression.

"Since that's the case, let Ma Aiqing handle the matter with all his power, and hope to reach an agreement with the Great Western Kingdom as soon as possible." Zhu Yousong finally spoke with deep helplessness and panic.

"Yes, I am obeying the orders of the country."

Ma Shiying then sent another envoy to Daxi, officially representing the Hongguang regime to agree to Zhang Xianzhong's request. That is, he did not pursue Zhang Xianzhong's killing of the envoy, and asked the Ming general Zeng Ying's troops to withdraw from southern Sichuan and handed over the entire southern Sichuan to the border between Yunnan and Guizhou to Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong got the result he wanted and was naturally very proud. He immediately agreed to the request of the Hongguang envoy, and the two countries formally signed an alliance agreement and agreed to send troops to fight against Li Xiao together.

Moreover, during this period, due to the strong alliance of the Hongguang regime, the Qing Dynasty, Dashun Kingdom, Daxi Kingdom, and Hongguang court finally formally formed an alliance. All the allied regimes stopped their troops and stopped the war, united in fighting against the enemy, and worked together to eliminate the common and dangerous enemy, Tang King Li Xiao.

However, what was unexpected that the Hongguang regime and Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Kingdom were sent to southern Sichuan and asked Zeng Ying to lead troops to abandon the order to retreat to Yunnan and Guizhou, but Zeng Ying refused on the spot. Zeng Ying, the chief general, even tore the decree from the envoy to pieces on the spot.

"Zeng Ying! This is a personal decree written by Hongguang's governor. How dare you tear the decree and disobey the court's orders? Is it necessary to rebel?!" The envoy looked pale and asked sternly in a serious voice.

Zeng Ying threw his hand and tore it into pieces. The fragments were like flying pink butterflies, scattered everywhere.
