Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 664 Same strategy, same person

When Zhu Yousong was about to deliver an edict and summoned Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong himself came, and what Zhang Xianzhong asked was exactly what Zhu Yousong wanted to do.

"Jingxuan, the second thing I asked you to do is to make you rebel against me..."

"Cause..." Before Zhu Yousong finished speaking, Zhang Xianzhong stood there in a daze, his brain short-circuited, and he was speechless.

"It's an order to rebel, Jingxuan, don't be nervous."

But the more Zhu Yousong said this, the more confused Zhang Xianzhong became, and felt that this was too outrageous. Could it be that His Majesty was testing himself, or did he not believe in himself at all?
Daxi is over. Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo have surrendered. Is this an excuse to get rid of yourself?In front of Chongzhen, he pretended to surrender, would he forget these things?In order to avoid future troubles, it is estimated that he will use a knife on himself.

Originally, Zhang Xianzhong felt incredible that Zhu Yousong exempted him from all crimes, but instead granted him the title of King Daxi. Now that he heard this, he couldn't help thinking wildly.

Then Zhang Xianzhong thumped, and quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, I have no intention of disobedience in surrendering. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can take out my heart and see."

The meaning of Zhang Xianzhong's words is obvious, that is to say, if His Majesty does not believe that I, Zhang Xianzhong, sincerely surrender, then simply kill me.Why do you want me to rebel, and what are you talking about rebelling against orders?

Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's appearance, Zhu Yousong knew that he had misunderstood. He shook his head and smiled and said, "Jingxuan, where are you going? How could I not believe you? If I don't believe in Aiqing, there is no such thing as Aiqing." Today, Qing, do you have a chance to talk to me like this?"

Zhang Xianzhong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being superficial... I am stupid, please show me clearly."

"Li Zicheng owes me a debt of gratitude. He committed heinous crimes, heinous. It is not too much for me to confiscate his family and punish him with capital punishment. However, I have the virtue of loving life. I treat him like I love you. I forgive all crimes and return him to death. Canonized as the Marquis of Xi'an, all his family members were pardoned and promoted to rank, but he played gossip with me and even led the team to become the king of the mountain. I want to catch him and see what happened to him Yes, now I am going to ask you to rebel against the order, and pull a team to get close to Li Zicheng, after gaining his trust, I will go to the army personally, and we should cooperate internally and externally, and take over his old nest, I don't know what Jingxuan thinks?"

This time Zhang Xianzhong understood it, it turned out that His Majesty was planning to deal with Li Zicheng, this Li Zicheng did really well, let himself follow the order to rebel, take a team to the mountains to approach Li Zicheng, and spread Li Zicheng inside and outside?It really is a good idea!

Just as Zhang Xianzhong was about to agree with the spirit of being generous to die, suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. Wait a minute, Your Majesty said that Li Zicheng is the same as Zhang Jingxuan, what do you mean by that?
After Zhu Yousong took Xi'an back then, he gave the Dashun army headed by Li Zicheng a blessing from heaven, and named Li Zi the pioneer officer of Zhengyinyan in the front, and conquered our Daxi.Later, Your Majesty and Li Zicheng played another trick, which was to rebel against the order. Li Zicheng took his vanguard battalion to Kuizhou to join Zhang Xianzhong. up.

In front of me, Zhang Jingxuan and Li Zicheng are in a similar situation?Your Majesty asked me to surrender and join Li Zicheng.Then, will I learn from Li Zicheng's fake play and real singing?Is Your Majesty testing me?
Zhang Xianzhong thought a lot in his mind for a moment, then he knelt down again with a plop, and knelt up and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, my humble minister's heart can be expressed in the world, no matter at any time, under any circumstances, this humble minister will always be happy." I will not do anything contrary to His Majesty's will."

It must also be said that Zhang Xianzhong's mind is not simple, it is the mind of a statesman, a military strategist, and he used to be the mind of an emperor. He first expressed his loyalty in order to completely dispel Zhu Yousong's doubts about him.That means, rest assured, Your Majesty, I, Zhang Xianzhong, will never follow Li Zicheng's old path.

But then he said worriedly: "It's just that your majesty's strategy is clever, but Li Zicheng is definitely not a fish in the pool. The tricks your majesty used against him in the past, now let the minister use the same routine. He sees it through, of course the death of a minister is not a pity, wouldn't it ruin His Majesty's plan and startle the snake?"

"Aiqing's worry is not unreasonable, but this Majesty has already thought about it. Li Zicheng will definitely not doubt anything when Aiqing goes here. He will definitely believe that Aiqing is sincere in voting, and then love will have a chance to succeed. This The reason is that Li Zicheng knows you Zhang Xianzhong too well, just like you Zhang Xianzhong knows him Li Zicheng, you will definitely surprise him by doing this."

Zhang Xianzhong understood Zhu Yousong's meaning, "Your Majesty is wise, in this way, I can rest assured."

Zhang Xianzhong resigned and withdrew, but was stopped by Zhu Yousong, "Qing's wife, Li Na, is inconvenient to move, so let him stay in my camp. Madam Gao misses her daughter, so let their mother and daughter have a good get-together Bar."

Zhang Xianzhong immediately understood what Zhu Yousong meant, did you see what was in his heart?His Majesty is still a little worried about himself, no wonder.Let Li Na stay, he can't stand the hard work of a pommel horse even with his bulky body.Let him stay with His Majesty as a hostage, we are all at ease.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being thoughtful." Zhang Xianzhong pretended not to know, and thanked him.

Of course, Zhu Yousong had to keep a hand with Zhang Xianzhong, and he also intended to let him see that the reason why he kept Li Na was to let Zhang Xianzhong know that this is my hostage.When Li Zicheng left, he left behind his wife Gao Guiying. When you leave, you must leave me Li Na who is pregnant with your seed. I am not afraid of you being the second Li Zicheng!
Soon, under Zhu Yousong's instruction, Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Wenxiu led more than 2000 horses, fired three cannons one night after midnight, "killed" out of the Ming army camp, and left Phoenix Mountain. All the way to the west, heading straight for Seven Star Mountain?

After Zhang Xianzhong left with his troops, Song Xiance and Liu Zhaoji were worried and came to see Zhu Yousong, "Your Majesty, that's how Li Zicheng left His Majesty at the beginning. If Zhang Jingxuan is the second Li Zicheng, wouldn't it be a big mistake?"

Zhu Yousong said confidently: "You two, don't worry, Li Zicheng will never doubt Zhang Xianzhong, because I have already used the strategy of rebellion against him, Li Zicheng must think the same strategy, the same person, I It’s impossible to use it twice, Zhang Xianzhong doesn’t have the guts to risk his life, I’m surprised.”
