Chapter 525 A Better Death

But as soon as he finished his reply, Li Zicheng felt something was wrong.

‘Why does Your Majesty call you an angel?’

Your Majesty must be talking about the Tatar Emperor, or the Black Flag King who used the emperor's name to issue this edict.

The Black Banner King was to the Manchu Qing Dynasty what Dong Zhuo was to the Emperor Xian in the past. This was not only a consensus within the Qing Dynasty, but also everyone who knew the inside story took it as a consensus.

And most people think this is a good thing.

The Tatars and China may start fighting over this at any time.

certainly.

It is not surprising that the Black Banner King has put on a yellow robe in private, calls himself emperor, and asks his ministers to call him by his title.

They are Tatars anyway.

But then, I heard Tang Ruowang say tremblingly: "Your Majesty has granted you the title of angel because you led the troops in front of Shanhaiguan Pass to stop the Qing troops for three months and protected the millions of Ming Dynasty people in the pass."

"It was convenient for your savage Tatar king to stir up trouble behind the Jiannu Tatars! If you think about it, you should have killed Wu Sangui early! Try it earlier! Maybe you can succeed! Then retreat and watch the savages and Jiannu fight!"

Li Zicheng became excited when he heard about the old events in Shanhaiguan.

That was the most important turning point in his life. Even if he thinks about it now, he can't help but beat his chest with excitement.

With this excitement, a sweet taste rose up in his throat, and the maid waiting beside him hurriedly handed over a handkerchief for him to cover his mouth and cough violently.

After coughing for a moment, he slumped back as if he had lost some of his life force, and large scarlet blood stains were exposed on the handkerchief.

But Li Zicheng had a smile on his face.

"Wu Sangui, who was so stubborn, died at the hands of a woman after all. Good luck! Good news! Still, she still has a broken arm, woman."

One sentence.

Li Zicheng suddenly felt like something was clearing up in his mind. His words were full of absurdity because of this sudden thought, but he looked at Tang Ruowang with wide eyes.

"The majesty you are talking about is the barbarian Tatar king?"

This sentence was spoken softly, with a subtle hint of longing and expectation.

Tang Ruowang nodded with difficulty: "Exactly."

"He was originally childless, but suddenly a daughter with a broken arm appeared, and then a nephew. You were there when I ascended to the capital in the past. You outsiders have many purposes. In order to protect yourself,

It won’t involve too much government affairs.

You will not surrender to a barbarian Tatar in advance without any reason. Although he is powerful, you foreigners will never call him your majesty easily before he usurps the throne and ascends the throne."

Li Zicheng got the strength from nowhere, sat up and came closer, saying one sentence after another: "You are an old minister of Chongzhen."

"King Ding disappeared in the Ming Dynasty, and the nephew of King Black Flag appeared."

"It is unwise to kidnap the Ming Prince before I die, and it will not bring much benefit to the Qing Dynasty."

The first two sentences are very energetic, but the rest of them lose their momentum.

The old thief Kou fought hard all his life, and lost all his strength at the last moment of his life, but his bravery broke out, and he was only in charge of a country with a sick and weak body, and he could not help but be worried and suspicious.

So Li Zicheng was overthrown in his own mind.

He sat back and wriggled his lips twice. This man, who was sickly white and mixed with bloodshot eyes, strong but thin and weak, said feebly: "I'm just joking. The Master can go back with my thank you gift, but it is absolutely impossible for me to grant the Tatar Edict."

Accepted.”

Although the title given by a Taoist master really tempted him.

But Tang Ruowang couldn't leave.

Zhu Youjian has a will.

"Then you'd better accept His Majesty's edict."

If there is no reaction, that's fine, just go through the process.

But what if he guessed something.

Zhu Youjian felt that Lao Li was qualified to die.

Although he is a real evil bandit, like most thieves, he commits crimes by burning, killing, looting, and tearing apart the fig leaf of the Ming Dynasty in the most brutal way, turning the world's torment of the people at the bottom into a short-lived severe pain.

It turned the world upside down.

But it only created a situation that was so bad that it almost hit bottom.

But this time he really tried his best.

Tang Ruowang's words made Li Zicheng turn to him with dull eyes, and then he burst into laughter.

"Did I guess right?"

"Your Majesty said that if you guess it, the foreign minister must tell you the inside story."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty said that you have meritorious service and deserve to know, but it's okay not to know."

Li Zicheng raised his trembling hand and waved: "I'm asking him what, why did he become a Tatar? Why did he become a Tatar when I didn't find his body?"

"The capital fell, and His Majesty received God's will on the top of the Long Live Mountain. He became the Holy Son, Holy Father, and the Holy Spirit came to become one with Him. One of the other four living creatures held precious silk to welcome and witness the Lord's coming into the world. The Lord said,

Going to the north of the north, there are people who live among wild beasts, and they want to be enlightened, so they bow down before the Lord."

Tang Ruowang also trembled when he spoke.

Sing the words like a sincere prayer.

And Li Zicheng understood.

There were too many questions that he wanted to ask, but he took them back in the end. He felt that he couldn't know. The more he knew, the more he seemed to have nothing to hide, and it seemed that all the experiences he had experienced in the past half of his life were terrible.

He is Emperor Dashun.

He had taken his destiny and showed it to the world, and the so-called help from God was achieved step by step. At least at this moment, he didn't want to believe in fate.

I want to drive away this Western monster monk in front of me.

But in the end he asked: "Does he have anything to tell me?"

"Your Majesty said, you, you have earned a better way to die. Whether it is for the country, the people, or for yourself, you have made outstanding achievements. The world does not know it, but I know it."

Hear the words.

Li Zicheng was stunned and then smiled with satisfaction, and said to Tang Ruowang: "The slaves around me heard these words, and I will reward them to you. Take them with you when you go back, leave them to him, and help me."

Bring a sentence.

When the truth comes out in the future, don't confuse what I did with what you did. What I did is what I did and has nothing to do with you."

"As commanded."

Tang Ruowang kowtowed.

"Step back, I will send these people out to you later."

Tang Ruowang bowed his head and exited the palace, leaving the royal city of Xi'an.

That night, he added a new paragraph to the manuscript he was writing.

The next day.

Li Zicheng's condition worsened again. He coughed up blood and could hardly speak. He summoned Li Guo and Gao Yigong to the palace for a meeting. After a long talk, he summoned a group of Dashun veterans to pass on the throne with an edict in front of everyone, confirming him.

After his death, Dashun will be in charge of Li Guo.

It's early morning after a night, when the sun is rising.

Emperor Li Zicheng of Dashun Bintian, the whole country of Dashun mourned.

The officials of Dashun came together to support Li Guo's ascension to the throne, and then followed the normal process. After some time after the burial of Daxing Emperor Li Zicheng, Li Guo could normally ascend the throne.

At the same time, the Catholic group among the envoys sent by the Qing Dynasty to Shun State returned to the capital with Li Zicheng's reward.

The Qing envoys began to contact Dashun courtiers.

The first thing was to send back Li Yan, the chief scholar of Dashun, so that he could attend Li Zicheng's funeral.
