Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 540 Xijing Negotiations (continued)

Huiying, Huimei, and Zhang Nai Shuangxi saw Li Zicheng's eyes, and felt like a thorn in his heart, but without Gao Guiying's kindness and kindness, it was unimaginable. This is the lenient, benevolent and boundless love who lived with them for more than ten years. Dad!

Thinking about how many times they had died for him, the four of them didn't feel any guilt in their hearts now, and they read hatred from their eyes, which also made them very vigilant.

Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu who were beside Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying looked at them with murderous intent.

The four of them couldn't help but subconsciously pressed the hidden sharp blades on their bodies, and then passed by, still continuing to follow Zhu Yousong closely.

After entering the city gate, Li Zicheng ordered his general Tian Jianxiu to lead the way for Zhu Yousong and others to Qinzheng Hall in Miyagi. Li Zicheng and his wife resigned, saying that they had gone to take a bath and change clothes. The two parties agreed to meet in Qinzheng Hall in half an hour. .

After Li Zicheng and his wife finished speaking, they took the people away.

Zhu Yousong's heart moved, did these two take the opportunity to slip away?He raised his vigilance in his heart, but on the surface he remained as if nothing had happened.

Behind Huiying, Huimei, Zhang Nai, and Shuangxi gave Zhu Yousong a wink, and Zhu Yousong understood, so it's difficult to say that Li Zicheng really has a conspiracy?If that's the case, I don't mind turning Xijing upside down!
At this time Tian Jianxiu came over. Tian Jianxiu is now the former general of the camp in front of Li Zicheng, and he saluted Zhu Yousong: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, please move to the Forbidden City at the end of the day, and the end of the day will be ordered by my lord." Come and lead the way."

When you get to someone else's territory, then listen to their arrangements.Zhu Yousong nodded respectfully as if he was a guest.

After Tian Jianxiu finished speaking, he got on his horse and led the way, and Zhu Yousong and other five people also got on their horses and followed behind.

The streets and alleys in Xi'an are deserted, the shops are closed, the merchants are on strike, and the houses of the common people are closed and locked, and there is no life at all.

Huiying, Huimei, and Zhang Nai Shuangxi are all too familiar with everything here, but everything in front of them is so strange. At this moment, her heart is tense, and she is ready to fight and escort at any time.

Only Zhu Yousong looked calm, as if nothing had happened, as if he had arrived at his own territory, with a calm and calm expression on his face.

They walked through the streets and alleys, and arrived at the imperial city in the capital, which is Li Zicheng's palace city in Xi'an.

The guards here are heavily guarded, and the Imperial Forest Army outside the city is brightly armored, with swords and guns like a forest, and the order of the patrolling guards is not chaotic.The gates of the city were closed tightly, and there were countless imperial guards guarding the city above the city, their swords, guns and armor dazzled people's eyes.

The 10,000+ Ming army besieged the capital outside. If you look at the imperial city, it doesn’t look like the capital of a subjugated country. It shows that Li Zicheng, his wife Gao Guiying and their soldiers still have a way of governing the army.

At this time, a knight walking in the front came to the city on a flying horse, holding Tian Jianxiu's command arrow, and the soldiers on guard and patrol gave way one after another. It's about to arrive, General Tian has an order to quickly open the city to welcome His Majesty Daming into the city."

Speaking of presenting the command arrow, the corner gate of the palace city opened, and a general of the Imperial Forest Army came out from inside. After checking the command arrow, he ordered the city to be opened.

Soon the gate of Miyagi opened wide, and Tian Jianxiu, Zhu Yousong and others arrived in front of the gate of Miyagi in a short time.

Zhu Yousong saw that the situation of the palace city was not too small. Although it was not as good as his own capital Zijin City, it was also red bricks and green tiles.

Not far from Miyagi, Tian Jianxiu dismounted, Zhu Yousong and others dismounted as well, and someone picked up the horse.

Tian Jianxiu was still leading the way, Zhu Yousong and other five people followed closely behind, and a hall flashed in front of him, with several golden characters written Qinzheng Hall on it.

Before entering the Hall of Qinzheng, Tian Jianxiu asked Zhu Yousong to sit on the top seat to show his respect for Zhu Yousong.

Zhu Yousong was not too polite, and was quite satisfied with today's ceremony. Li Zicheng and his wife went to the city gate to greet them in person, and then brought their monarchs and ministers to the Palace of Qinzheng as honored guests. The degree is also impeccable, Zhu Yousong is now the emperor, and Tian Jianxiu and others are their courtiers, at least on the surface.

After Zhu Yousong sat down, Huiying, Huimei, Zhang Nai, Shuangxi and others stood behind Li Zicheng without looking sideways.

At this time, a court lady came to offer tea and fruit, and then the court lady, Tian Jianxiu and others all retreated outside the hall.

Only Zhu Yousong, Huiying, Huimei, Zhang Nai, and Shuangxi were left in the hall.

Tea, snacks, and fruits were put on the table, and the five people just looked at it like this, and no one dared to touch it, for fear of poison or perspiration.

Waiting time is a torment, because the more you want time to go faster, the slower it will go.The five monarchs and ministers waited inside for a long time, but Li Zicheng did not appear.

In the end, even Zhu Yousong got a little impatient and asked Shuangxi to go out to see what was going on outside.

At this time, people outside the gate of the palace could hear the sound of neighing, and they didn't know how many troops had come. It seemed that the movement was not small, and soon the gate of Qinzheng Palace was completely surrounded.

These Dashun army generals were at war, and Zhu Yousong and the five knew that Li Zicheng was indeed playing tricks, and it seemed that there was going to be a bloody battle today.

Zhu Yousong pulled out the sword, Huiying, Huimei, Zhang Nai, and Shuangxi also revealed the sharp blade hidden on their bodies, and they were ready to fight.

At this time, the generals of the Dashun army at the gate flashed to the two sides, and Niu Jinxing came out, followed by a general, Gao Yigong.

Shuangxi said angrily: "Niu Jinxing, what do you mean, where is Li Zicheng?"

Niu Jinxing stared at him with triangular eyes, "Shut up, shameless bastard, you are not worthy to talk to Ben Zhongtang!"

After Niu Jinxing finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Yousong, "Our Majesty said that there are three conditions for today's negotiation. As long as His Majesty Daming agrees, we will surrender and offer the city."

"Mr. Niu, but what are the three conditions?"

"The first condition is to hand over these four spoiled things to His Majesty, and His Majesty will hang them in public, so that everyone will know the fate of the traitors. The second condition is that the Ming army immediately lift the siege of Xijing, And withdraw all the troops brought out of Tongguan. The third condition is to make His Majesty the Marquis of Xi'an, and we are not allowed to disband or change our army."

Zhu Yousong saw that Niu Jinxing was getting worse. These three conditions were more stringent than the other. How could this be a negotiation?It's clearly playing tricks in disguise, forcing me to turn my face.

"Mr. Niu, please tell Li Zicheng, don't say three conditions, I can't agree to any of them!"

Niu Jinxing sneered and said: "If His Majesty Daming refuses to agree, this Palace of Qinzheng is very difficult to get in, and I'm afraid you will be even more unable to get out of this capital!"

"Hahahaha," Zhu Yousong laughed, "I'm afraid it's wishful thinking to trap me with just a few pieces of your money, and you don't even ask about it. In Sanhe Town, I only brought two of Dorgon's 3 cavalry. , and can kill them all, how do you think you are better than those [-] Tartars?"
