Emperor Apocalypse felt an inexplicable anxiety.

To be honest, Li Zicheng is growing more and more.

Actually, this is understandable.

No matter how people like Zhang Jingyi look at it, in the eyes of many people in the world, Emperor Tianqi is indeed a foolish monarch.

Even though many victories have been won, in the eyes of many people, this is still a military force.

In short, many people believe that the Ming Dynasty is about to perish.

If the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, there will naturally be many people who want to vote for a wise leader, so that they can also be granted the title of marquis and prime minister in the future.

When Li Zicheng held the imperial examination, he immediately gave people a sense of wisdom. It's no wonder his army was invincible.

As for those poor royal families, they became Li Zicheng's rebellion, and at the same time united some of the gentry's targets to be slaughtered. They relied on the royal family's money and food to maintain their own army, allowing the gentry to establish an administrative system, while the bandits were responsible for the military.

Of course, Li Zicheng could do this, on the one hand, because he had enough prestige, and on the other hand, he was holding the "old camp" he followed when Guanzhong was in his hand.

These people followed him to fight thousands of miles. After repeated bloody battles and eliminations, all the remaining elites were the elites.

In addition, the refugees in this era had to rebel, and now they knew that they had no way out, and the Ming Dynasty could not tolerate them, so it became a consensus to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

But what will happen in the future?

Of course, in the future, Li Zi will be recommended to become emperor and start a new cycle.

Just this... In fact, the bandits at the end of the Ming Dynasty had relatively advanced and advanced ideas, at least they were stronger than all kinds of thinking that were possessed by God. People still followed the routine of using dragons in ancient times, and never went to play with the Gods.

Since in the eyes of many bandits, rebellion is to fill the stomach, and the consequences of rebellion are the only way to survive from Li Zicheng.

So even though Li Zicheng began to ease with the gentry, in their opinion, although he was still in conflict with the gentry, he was still able to tolerate it.

This is like Zhu Yuanzhang started his business with the branches of the Red Turban Army, and then began to establish an administrative system to recruit talents from gentry to serve him.

Everyone’s goal is not to destroy the gentry, but to become a minister.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and then looked at Huang Liji and said, "Did the Hengzhou defenders take the initiative to surrender?"

"Yes." Huang Liji said: "At that time, several Confucian scholars entered the city first and negotiated with local officials about surrender, and the city gate was opened the next day."

When Emperor Tianqi heard this, his eyes became more gloomy and he said coldly: "What's the use of me wanting these people?"

"There is one more thing..." Huang Liji said with a wry smile.

Emperor Tianqi frowned, and he knew that Huang Liji came here specifically, and it would not be so simple.

Emperor Aoki said, "You said that."

Huang Liji said: "In the Shandong side, there is a gentry rebellion case... someone escaped."

"Someone escapes? What's the point?"

So Huang Liji said: "Shandong Jinshi Sun Zhixie was originally a Hanlin Shuji scholar. After that, he returned to his hometown to worry. A few days ago, the Shandong Provincial Administration Commissioner began to investigate the case of rebellion. Sun Zhixie was originally in Zichuan County. He was an official appointed by the court. It did not affect him. But... this person bribed some people and rescued dozens of scholars and fled overnight... According to the latest news, Sun Zhixie appeared in Wuchang with his people, and also issued a notice, saying... saying..."

"What do you say?" Emperor Tianqi raised his eyebrows.

Huang Liji hesitated and said, "I will say that today, Zhu... Zhu..."

Emperor Tianqi suddenly understood Huang Liji's embarrassment and said, "You don't have to have any taboos."

Huang Liji then said: "I declare that Zhu Ming has lost his heart. The righteous men in the world should attack Your Majesty and support the world..."

When Emperor Aoki heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said sneeringly: "Just rely on him?"

Huang Liji said with a worried look: "This person is not only a Jinshi, but also quite famous in Shandong. He has a great influence. This person's articles are also very good... This time he defected to Li Zicheng, the worst influence. After all, other gentry waited until Li Zicheng's army and horses arrived, and then he had to surrender. Even if someone took the initiative to contact him, it was only Li Zicheng's army and horses were close to him. But this person fled thousands of miles away, not to mention the serious Qingliu... This is different."

The so-called clear stream... is very remarkable for many people.

How to say it?

Because in the officialdom, there is also a chain of contempt.

Those who have fame despise those who have no fame despise scholars, while those who have Jinshi despise scholars, and those who have Jinshi are divided into one, two, and three, but there is a kind of person who belongs to the right and the best. For example, Sun Zhixie, who belongs to the person who not only passed the first and second grades of Jinshi, but also entered the Hanlin Academy and became a Shujishi.

This kind of person consciously carried a sacred halo in the Ming Dynasty. Almost all the cabinet ministers and monks in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were from Hanlin Shuji. There were occasional exceptions, but they also counted with one hand.

It is precisely because of this that Huang Liji believes that such an impact is extremely bad.

Moreover, after this person arrived in Wuchang, he made great contributions. It was obvious that Li Zicheng also saw the value of this person. To a certain extent, borrowing this person... can greatly disintegrate the morale of many people.

Look, even Shujishi took the initiative to join the riot army, why can't we? Is the Ming Dynasty really exhausted?

Emperor Tianqi only found it ridiculous and said disdainfully: "I don't recognize this person, he is nothing."

"Sun Zhixie?" Zhang Jingyi thought about it and couldn't help but say, "I have heard of this person."

Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jingyi in surprise and subconsciously said, "When did you hear it?"

"..." Zhang Jing was speechless for a while.

He could not say that in another historical time and space, Sun Zhixie defected to the Jiannu people and even made a case that directly changed the course of history.

What did this guy do at that time?

When Jiannu first entered the pass, the officials of Jiannu wore Jiannu's clothes, while the Han officials allowed them to wear the original Ming Dynasty official uniform.

Moreover, the officials of Jiannu stood on the left, while Hanchen stood on the right.

But in order to please Emperor Shunzhi, Sun Zhixie was in court one day, and excitedly dressed in Jiannu people's clothes and stood by the Jiannu officials.

This angered the Jiannu officials. What are you? Do you still want to pretend to be a bannerman while wearing our clothes?

So, the Jiannu people pushed him out. Han Chen also thought he was wearing Jiannu's clothes and refused to let him come to the class.

Sun Zhixie was very embarrassed at the time, so he was so angry that he submitted a memorial to Emperor Shunzhi, saying: "Your Majesty pacified China and everything was renewed, and the system of clothes, hats and hair were preserved only in the old Han Dynasty. This is because Your Majesty follows China, not China follows Your Majesty."

Therefore, Emperor Shunzhi suggested that the Han ministers and Han people in the world shave their hair and wear the clothes of Jiannu people. He was even the first to set an example and shave his hair first.

For Emperor Jiannu, Sun Zhixie's letter was like a sleepy person who sent a pillow, so he naturally took this opportunity to issue a hair shaving order.

Zhang Jingyi had only regrets at this moment. He had forgotten such a guy. If he had known this, he would have killed him when he was in the capital or Shandong.

Huang Liji said at this time: "Sun Zhixie went to Wuchang. Li Zicheng admired him very much. Perhaps because he wanted to set him as an example, he gave him the position of right counselor. Li Zicheng did not dare to be king at this time, and this right counselor was already prominent. What I am worried about is that Li Zicheng got Sun Zhixie to divide and disintegrate prefectures and counties in various places. Once this person bewitched people's hearts and creates momentum, I am afraid that Jiangnan... will be greatly affected."

This time Huang Liji was very smart and did not propose the implementation of the new policy, which may lead to the gentry in the world being disloyal and betrayal.

To be honest, he didn't dare to say that. Besides, if the stock plummeted again, the gentry from all over the country would be alive, but the people in the capital would all die.

Emperor Tianqi said with anger: "These scholars and scholars usually say that the king, the ministers and ministers are all saying that they are heaven, earth, king, and relatives. Now I am just implementing new policies. Can they all surrender to the bandits?"

Huang Liji looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty... Everyone wants to have a meal."

Emperor Tianqi sneered: "Even if the new policy is implemented, they will not starve them to death. Although they have collected their land, don't I know that they have a lot of other livelihoods? I didn't give them fame and fortune, so how could I starve them? A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If I don't believe that I can starve them to death if I implement the new policy."

Huang Liji said, "But Li Zicheng also gave fame and fame, and he wanted to continue the system of Emperor Taizu."

Emperor Tianqi curled his lips and said disgustingly: "If I had to send fame, wealth and wealth to them with laughter, they would be loyal. Then what's the use of such loyalty? This Sun Zhixie... is indeed hateful, has a very bad influence. I will give the sea of ​​orders to capture it. As for Li Zicheng... now it seems that this person has ulterior motives and has a great goal. In just a few months, he has gained a firm foothold in Jingxiang and spreads for several provinces. It is really impossible to underestimate it."

Huang Liji said: "I also heard that they had looted many royal families and used the gentry to collect a lot of money and grain. Now they are full of morale, and many bandits have gone to Wuchang to surrender. They claim to be 200,000 soldiers. If the court does not solve the problem, they will be very difficult."

Emperor Tianqi nodded, thought for a while, then looked at Zhang Jing and said, "Zhang Qing... Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, these two thieves, should be dealt with quickly. Otherwise, continue to let Li Zicheng go on, afraid that there will be more dreams at night."

Zhang Jingyi frowned and said, "As soon as the official army arrives, these bandits will flee everywhere and disappear... It's really difficult."
