Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 539 Xijing Negotiation

Li Zicheng is not hard-hearted. Gao Guiying is his wife in need. She has followed him to fight north and south, and has been fighting for more than ten years. She has been loyal even in their most difficult and critical moments. The wife who was loyal to her did not hesitate to kneel down to beg for death, and she was also moved with compassion. She felt that her words had hurt her too much, so she quickly helped her up, "Queen, I blame my words for being serious... Now I am in the ups and downs of the wind and rain, and I live and die. My heart is in a panic, the empress should forgive me for my inappropriate words."

"Your Majesty, it's not that the concubines are being angry. The concubines risked their lives to remonstrate. Submission to the court is the only way out. Dashun is over. Even if your majesty is strategizing and using this negotiation to get rid of Hongguang, can you get rid of the 10,000+ troops outside?" There is only one lonely city left in Xijing, and it is bound to be difficult for a long time. It still cannot change the country and society of the Zhu family and Ming Dynasty. Who among the several royal families of the Zhu family can be more wise and powerful than Zhu Yousong? If the surname Zhu really dies, what if Some traitors take advantage of the opportunity to create chaos and steal military power, and when the city is destroyed, they will be destroyed, the children are right, even if His Majesty does not think about himself, he must think about the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command and the dozen or so creatures in Xijing."

Li Zicheng was silent, although he thought that the queen doted on those children so much that it was hard to let them go. Parents can tolerate all the faults of their children, even betrayal, but these words are not out of the wisdom of a wise man. Is the person who cares most about himself.Listen to Niu Jinxing's advice and see if it will work, just in case... Li Zicheng is shaken.

Gao Guiying also went all out today, and continued bravely: "Your Majesty, my concubine is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, nor is he a person who clings to others. The concubine dared to speak out, Huiying, Huimei and Zhang Nai are the way to go." At this stage, the responsibility is not entirely on the children, we also have an unshirkable responsibility, and Shuangxi, Mr. Song has also left us, we should reflect on ourselves, and don't listen to slander and ruin our future. They are abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, aren't they Betrayal, Your Majesty, you can't act with righteousness. They are the ones we grew up with and understand best. There are no ruthless people, and they have no choice but to execute them. Can we feel at ease? Please stop being obsessed, Your Majesty. It’s not that you are a foolish and incompetent king who drove the Tartars to the north in less than a year. Now that we are in desperation, His Majesty absolved us of all guilt and reused us. This is God’s grace, this is The peerless Holy Lord, you can do a lot if you surrender."

"Okay, it's rare that the emperor has made a lot of painstaking efforts. I will accompany me to greet His Majesty Daming first."

"The courtiers and concubines respect the order."

Seeing what he said, Li Zicheng was tempted, Gao Guiying was happy, wiped away the tears of grievance on his face, regained his heroine appearance, and drove out of the palace.

Like Zhu Yousong, they were used to riding horses but not chariots. When they came to the gate of Nankou City, they followed the horse path to the top of the city. They saw that Zhu Yousong had only five riders and five riders. There are weapons, and there is a wide field behind him, without a single soldier, Li Zicheng sighed in his heart after seeing it, such courage is rare in the world, he can be called an emperor through the ages.

Gao Guiying's mood at this time is more complicated. While feeling Zhu Yousong's courage and sincerity, at the same time, he saw Huiying, Huimei and Zhang Nai's double happiness. This appearance of being ungrateful, betraying the master and seeking glory, Gao Guiying felt a kind of emotion that is rare for women.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and open the city. His Majesty Daming only brought four people and four horses to discuss with His Majesty in detail, which shows his sincerity."

Li Zicheng nodded, and his opponent followed the official and said, "Kaicheng. Greet His Majesty Ming."

The chief follower promised to pass the decree, and Li Zicheng took Gao Guiying down the city. At this time, the suspension bridge fell, the gate was lowered with a creak, and the city gate opened wide. The Dashun army lined up on both sides, from the city to the outside of the pass. They put away all their swords, bows and crossbows. Someone shouted in unison: "His Majesty Daming is welcome to enter the city."

Some people even brought drums and music, blowing and beating, and it was as lively as a festival.

Zhu Yousong looked at Huimei and smiled, "See, I'm really welcome. I hope today goes well. It's the blessings of the people of Xijing and the people of the world."

Huiying, Huimei, Zhang Nai and Shuangxi's heart has been tensed for a long time. His Majesty only brought them four escorts, which shows that he has enough trust in them, which makes them proud. The empress and civil and military officials' exhortations are still in my ears, even if they don't exhort them, they must swear to protect His Majesty's safety to the death, and they are even ready to exterminate relatives righteously.

When they got to the city, the four of them became nervous. This is undoubtedly the cave of dragons and tigers. The parents who loved and trusted them the most, probably wished to eat their flesh and drink their blood. Difficult.

However, their majesty talked and laughed happily, as if nothing happened, and everyone admired their majesty's courage.

Zhu Yousong's talking and laughing also eased their tense hearts a little.

At this time, Li Zicheng waved his hand, and the welcome shouts and drum music stopped abruptly.Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying rode out of the city gate together, and they both got off their horses and said to Zhu Yousong, "Your Majesty is respectfully invited to enter the city. Please!"

"Thank you, General Li and Madam, for your kindness. Please." Zhu Yousong said as he got off his horse. Huiying, Huimei, and Zhang Nai Shuangxi also got off their horses. Shuangxi took Zhu Yousong's horse, and the four men and women followed Zhu Yousong Song walked behind him and walked towards the city.

With a smile on his face, Zhu Yousong strode past Li Zicheng and his wife. This is the first time they have such a close contact, and they get along so harmoniously. It can be called a thousand anecdotes , No one would believe such a scene unless they saw it with their own eyes.This scene is far from comparable to when they surrendered to Chongzhen.

Zhu Yousong's calmness and self-confidence opened the eyes of the Dashun generals present. It was the first time in their lives that they could bet on Emperor Hongguang's demeanor at such a close distance in this way.

"Emperor Ming is too young, looks like he's only 25?"

"Yeah, he's so handsome, he can be called a handsome man. When they were in Luoyang, their father and son were both fat. What's going on? Now this is no less majestic than Lu Bu's rebirth, and Zhao Yun is still alive?"

"I must have encountered a peerless master and learned the art for the second time. I heard that he is so good at martial arts that he has no opponent in the world."

"What did you hear? I saw it with my own eyes. I can pinch Li Guoye's sword with only two fingers. Li Guoye is called a tiger. What a skill it is, but it is so vulnerable in front of him. .”

"Really?... No wonder Oboi, the number one master in Manchuria, has to bow down..."

……

These soldiers will whisper, with different mentalities, and they can say anything in a low voice.

Zhu Yousong swaggered past Li Zicheng and his wife, Huiying, Huimei, Zhang Nai and Shuangxi followed closely. The four of them forced a smile when they approached Li Zicheng, but they passed by without saying anything. It's all right to find his wife Gao Guiying, the gaze Li Zicheng casts on them is chilling...
