The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 32 Entering the Palace to Face the Holy Spirit
"Dashun King Chuang's military advisor, Li Yan, has met His Majesty the Emperor of Ming!"

"Li Ying, the rear general under King Chuang of Dashun, has met His Majesty the Emperor of Ming!"

The husband and wife were taken all the way into the Qianqing Palace. Looking at Zhu Cihong who was sitting on the dragon chair, they just bowed and bowed, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Bold!"

Wang Dehua on the side immediately roared, and the big Han generals on both sides also pulled out their swords, as if they were just waiting for the emperor to nod, and immediately cut the two people into pieces.

The husband and wife still didn't change their faces.

Obviously, the worst has been prepared in my heart.

"Get out!"

"Since the two of you have changed your name and rebelled, you are no longer my citizens of Ming Dynasty, and you don't need to bow down."

"Give a seat!"

Zhu Cihong waved his hand generously.

Nodding secretly, the two of them are at least stronger than him, and they are not people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Thank you, His Majesty, for granting the seat!"

The husband and wife thanked each other, then sat on the small stool beside them, and at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help feeling a little fond of Zhu Cihong in their hearts.

This little emperor is at least a corporal.

As a scholar, even though Li Yan has rebelled, he still has a trace of respect for Zhu Cihong in his heart, so after sitting down, he only dared to secretly look at him.

But Hong Niangzi was born in a rough place, but she didn't have any worries, and she looked Zhu Cihong up and down out of curiosity.

Still muttering to himself, this emperor is similar to ordinary people, nothing more than a little more handsome.

Zhu Cihong was also looking at the two of them.

This Li Yan was only forty years old, with a refined face and a short beard under his chin, and there was no trace of tension in his expression.

From the perspective of this era, he can also be called a romantic celebrity.

And this red lady really loves red like the historical rumors. She is all red, tall and pretty, and she is a rare beauty.

She should be less than [-] years old, and her whole body reveals the plumpness of a mature young woman, but there is a compelling heroic look between her brows, and her eyes are quite sharp. She has killed many people just by looking at her.

From the perspective of a modern person like Zhu Cihong, although the husband and wife are not a flower stuck in cow dung, they are not much different.

However, he also knew that from the perspective of people of this era, this red lady was obviously not good enough for Li Yan.

After all, the best match in the minds of people of this era is Xiaojiabiyu, a well-educated, well-educated, and dignified lady.

From the current point of view, it is obvious that the red lady is not close to these three points.

"Although I live in the palace, I have heard a little about the deeds of the two of you. When I saw them today, they really look like men and women."

"Oh? Your Majesty also knows about my husband and wife's deeds?" The red lady asked subconsciously, with a look of curiosity.

Li Yan glared at her, then quickly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty is not to be blamed, I was born in a reckless family and doesn't know etiquette."

"It doesn't matter, Mrs. Madam is outspoken, she has a true temperament, and she is worthy of being a strange woman who rebelled and saved her husband."

Zhu Cilang smiled and waved his hands.

"Unexpectedly, His Majesty even knew this, but we are all traitors, and you are the emperor, shouldn't you hate us?"

The red lady was a little surprised, a little confused, but more nervous.

She was a little worried whether the little emperor had seen the details of his and his wife?
Li Yan's expression also became a little nervous.

I wonder if the little emperor knows their heels?

After all, judging from the current situation, it might be very difficult for them to break into the city and overthrow the Ming Dynasty. Once the little emperor finds out about their footsteps, the clansmen may suffer disaster in the future, and maybe even their ancestors' graves will be dug up.

Thinking of this, Li Yan also regretted that he shouldn't have rebelled in Qi County, and should change places.

"Don't worry, you two, I don't know your real names, nor where your ancestral home is."

Zhu Cihong smiled as if he could see what the two of them were thinking.

He really didn't know about Hong Niangzi, but Li Yan (Xin) from Qi County would definitely not escape.

Sure enough, both of them heaved a sigh of relief.

But Zhu Cihong got up and came to the hall, with his hands behind his back, he glanced at the two of them and said to himself: "As for what Mrs. Li said, why doesn't she hate you?"

"The ancients said: The people are water, the king is a boat, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat. As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, I can't even guarantee the basic food and clothing of the people under my rule, so that the people are displaced, hungry for thousands of miles, and easy to eat. What right do I have to hate you people who rebelled just to survive?"

"Hey! After all, I and Daming have failed you!"

Zhu Cihong said with a last long sigh.

In fact, compared with these rebels, he hated the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, the Confucian gentry and landlords in the south of the Yangtze River, and the profiteers in Shanxi.

"Your Majesty's breadth of mind is rare in ancient times, and the emperors of all dynasties in ancient times are far inferior to it. The students are full of admiration!"

The husband and wife did not expect Zhu Cihong to say such words, they were both touched, and Li Yan even saluted to the end, bowing with a moved face.

But in my heart I lamented endlessly.

If the Ming Dynasty had such a knowledgeable and broad-minded monarch earlier, why not worry about it?Why are you afraid of building slaves outside the pass?
He is a dignified Juren who has been reading sage books since he was a child, how can he be reduced to the point where he has changed his name to rebel?
"Your Majesty has only just ascended the throne, so I can't blame you. If you want to blame, you can only blame your father, Emperor Chongzhen. It is his frequent tax increases that make everyone unable to live. Of course, the most hateful ones are those corrupt officials. Ruinous officials, profiteers and evil gentry!"

Seeing Zhu Cihong's face of self-blame, the red lady couldn't help but say something fair, saying that she also gritted her teeth in the end.

It can be seen that he was often exploited by corrupt officials, oppressed by profiteers and evil gentry, and he even hated Chongzhen.

"Shut up!"

Li Yan, however, was so frightened that his ghosts sprang up, he drank a low sentence, and then hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, forgive me, bitch..."

"Alas! Your Madam is just telling the truth, what is the crime? But the son inherited his father's fault. As soon as I ascended the throne, I abolished Sanxiang, and also exempted several northern provinces from taxes and labor for three years. In the future, after I have settled down the world , but also to permanently abolish labor, reduce taxes, and treat the people well!"

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said with a determined face.

The red lady's eyes lit up, with a look of excitement on her face, and she wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Li Yan's stern gaze, and she had to close her mouth reluctantly.

"Your Majesty has such a benevolent heart, it is really a blessing for the people of Ming Dynasty!"

"Li Zhuangshi, that Chuang Wang Zhi has great talent and lack of knowledge. He is definitely not a wise master. Without the help of you and his wife, we would never be where we are today. However, prosperity is bound to decline, and now it is impossible to ride a tiger.

I have the ambition to help the world and the heart to save the people, and I appreciate you two very much. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in. Why don't you two abandon the dark and turn to the light, and assist me in reorganizing the country and rejuvenating the Ming Dynasty?

In the future, it will be a good story to be successful and famous, and be a prince for thousands of generations. Wouldn't it be better than living under the command of the intruder, and the pearl will be covered with dust? "

Zhu Cihong also noticed that this red lady is easy to fool, but this Li Yan is definitely not something that can be subdued by a few words, so she simply opened up.

Sure enough, Hong Niangzi remembered what the husband and wife had been excluded in the rebel army, what King Chuang and those generals did.In addition, he had a good impression of the little emperor's openness and generosity, and felt that he should be a good emperor, so he was a little moved immediately, and quietly tugged at the corner of Li Yan's clothes.

That meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Li Yan had a bitter smile in his heart, he guessed that the little emperor had paid more respect to them, and said so much, so he must have something in mind.

Seeing his poor plans, he finally sighed, bowed to the bottom again and said: "My husband and I are deeply honored and grateful to be favored by Your Majesty, but my loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, and my husband and I don't want to do that. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for being a villain again and again!"

"Ugh!"

"Forget it, after all, I have no blessings. Everyone has their own ambitions, and I will not force them!"

Seeing his firm attitude and directly blocking the road, Zhu Cihong also sighed and said helplessly.

He really wanted to recruit the two of them, not to mention the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the red lady, he was so greedy.

And this Li Yan will be of great use in the future.

Once the two are subdued, they will be able to contact more invading generals, and in the end they may cause chaos and kill Li Zicheng directly.

It's a pity that Li Yan is as stubborn as the few literati of this era, hateful and respectable.

"Your Majesty, this time my husband and I came here to..."

Li Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately cupped his fists to get to the point.

"Negotiations are not in a hurry. I think you and your wife hit it off right away. Although you didn't get what you wanted, you still feel happy in your heart. How about this? I'll order someone to hold a banquet. How about we talk while drinking?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and waved his hands.

Since he can't recruit, then don't blame him for playing tricks.

"Respect is worse than obedience!"

Although Li Yan really wanted to talk now, but he felt ashamed for rejecting the little emperor just now, and now that he has good intentions and wants to entertain him and his wife, he really can't say no again.
