The four hundred and sixteenth chapter, the treasure (7)

"Long live, but I'm worried that the news will spread, which is not good for Long live's reputation? The people will never dare to surrender to me again?" Niu Jinxing said, "Actually, there is no need to worry about this at all. Because most of the ordinary people are idiots, how could they know this? It's so easy to lie to them." Niu Jinxing said slowly while kneeling on the ground.

"Hundreds of thousands of people starved to death, how could others not know?" Li Zicheng said.

"There was a plague in the capital. Although the situation is a little better now, it is not completely okay. We can say that these people died of plague outside." Niu Jinxing said, "If the soldiers get the benefits, they will naturally not object. As for other ordinary people, long live, ordinary people will not go far away without any trouble, and how far can the news be spread? Besides, there are city gates in Beijing. Moreover, they are not literate and cannot write articles. The saint said: "When speaking, without writing, and not far away."

Since these ordinary people cannot write articles, what they say will not spread far. Moreover, the officials of the former Ming Dynasty were determined to surrender to our court, so they naturally had to speak for us. Their ability to move far exceeds that of ordinary people. With their support, the weak ministers dared to say that after a hundred miles away from Beijing, only our army will not violate it. A hundred years later, even people in Beijing will not know what happened. They will only know that our army has not violated it, and the people will be hang upside down."

"Qiu is not guilty, and the people are hanging upside down?" Li Zicheng sneered, "Is there such a good way for all the people to deceive? In the early years, the people were willing to believe what those who studied and served as officials said. Now... Haha, let alone these Ming Dynasty officials were shameless things, so why didn't the Emperor Chongzhen treat them well? But how did they repay Emperor Chongzhen? I can't believe them! Emperor Chongzhen gave them so much. If it were a dog, he would have been devoted to Emperor Chongzhen, but they didn't! Emperor Chongzhen could not afford them, and I could not support them, nor could I raise them! I could not treat them better than Emperor Chongzhen treats them! In order to raise them, the Emperor Chongzhen rebelled all over the world. If I continue to support them, the people in the world would also commit my rebellion!"

"The Emperor..." Niu Jinxing said.

"Get up. Since I met the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister has advised me to read more history books, and I will read them whenever I have time. I have discovered that since ancient times, those who have won a country through revolution will have a long life; and those who have won a country through usurpation will have a long life, and the country's power will have a long life. Prime Minister, what do you think is this?" Li Zicheng asked.

"Revolution will lead to the country, follow the heavens and respond to people. It can be said that the country can be obtained by the right path, and naturally, the will of heaven and the hearts of the people can be at peace. As for usurping the country and getting the country is not upright, how can it last forever?" Niu Jinxing answered while getting the country.

"What is the will of heaven?" Li Zicheng asked again, but he did not wait for Niu Jinxing to answer, but replied by himself, "'Heaven looks at our people, and heaven listens to our people.' The will of heaven is the heart of the people. Make the hearts of the people loyal to the emperor, so who can do usurp the throne? Therefore, any emperor who can be usurped by treacherous ministers is a foolish monarch who has lost the hearts of the people. How strict with the former Ming Taizu Emperor Hongwu was to his ministers, it can be said that he was a miserable life.

Because Hu Weiyong wanted to usurpate the rebellion, the officials who accomplice the rebellion were 10,000. Taizu destroyed it in one day, like a tiger destroying pigs and sheep. Why is this? This is because the former Ming Taizu Emperor Hongwu truly loved the people like his son, and the people in the world naturally regarded the Emperor Hongwu as their parents. What is the difference between tens of thousands of officials, compared with the people in the world? Therefore, Emperor Hongwu can decide their wealth and life and death in one word. This is the real emperor and the real emperor."

Although Li Zicheng did something about rebelling against Ming and even destroying Ming, he was still full of admiration when talking about Emperor Hongwu. However, Niu Jinxing lowered his head after hearing Li Zicheng's words.

However, Li Zicheng did not notice Niu Jinxing's actions. He just continued: "Since ancient times, what did those who usurped the country rely on? It was because the emperor favored the treacherous and the people. In this way, the emperor was really alone, and then these treacherous and the treacherous and the people could steal the affairs of the country. However, the treacherous and the people were united to steal the affairs of the country. However, the treacherous and the people were not interested in the people. If he got the country, he could only take care of the benefits of these treacherous and the people were always there. Taking care of the benefits of these treacherous and the people were naturally able to continue to eat the people. In this way, the new emperor had no people's heart, and the other hand, the people were not living in poverty. After a little time, there would naturally either have new treacherous and the country stealing, or there would be heroes like the former Ming Taizu to revolutionize. Therefore, such a country was like

How can it last? But the revolutionary country is different. The treacherous and slander in the previous dynasty died, even if they were alive, they lost their fame, power and could no longer be able to gain the people. The emperor who won the revolutionary country, slandered the people and punished the crimes, would naturally win the hearts of the people. In this way, the country's destiny would naturally last. Prime Minister, now we are following the path of revolution. This road is naturally difficult, but it is the right way to win the world. This road is so difficult, but we are almost ready, right? If at this time, in order to seek quickness, collude with the treacherous and treacherous and betray the people of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't I go from winning the country through revolution to usurping the country? Wouldn't this be because of a small loss of bigness? Therefore, the more shortcuts there are, the more we have to endure and take the right path."

"The emperor is wise! It's not within the reach of the empress." Niu Jinxing bowed, "It's just a matter of military capital..."

"Haha..." Li Zicheng sneered, "Didn't some treacherous people still think that I, Dashun, will be a veteran of two dynasties? Okay, I will give them a chance to serve. As long as they are willing to take out the money to work hard, they will be willing to board our Dashun's ship."

"Your Majesty, what if they refuse to pay the money? Chongzhen asked them for money, but they didn't give it to him." Niu Jinxing asked.

"The Emperor Chongzhen is just so kind to them. But I am not Chongzhen." Li Zicheng said, "The Emperor Chongzhen's will, saying that these dog officials are corrupt officials, and that they killed Emperor Chongzhen. I have given them the opportunity to reform. If they are unsure, I will punish them well for Emperor Chongzhen."

"But that happens..." Niu Jinxing said.

"Prime Minister, since we want to follow the right path of revolution, we cannot be afraid of war. We are nothing more than fighting for more years. We would rather fight for a few more years than going wrong paths, don't you think?" Li Zicheng smiled.

"Your Majesty is wise." Niu Jinxing replied.

"Well," Li Zicheng said, "Prime Minister, you should discuss this matter with General Liu, and you must do it well. In addition, have the princes of Emperor Chongzhen found it?"

"Emperor, General Liu, and General Li Guo have sent people to search the city, but there is no news yet." Niu Jinxing replied.

"You have to see people alive, and you have to see corpses when you die. You must find them as soon as possible." Li Zicheng ordered.

...

Zhu Cizhao didn't know how long he had been in the tunnel, because lighting the lamp would produce turbid air. For safety, the ventilation vent in the basement could not be too big (otherwise it would be difficult to hide.) So the lights would only light up in the basement when someone brought him food. Only at this time can he find out some of the situations outside from the mouths of those people.

"The Lord of the Emperor has already died for his country. The thief put the Lord of the Emperor's body in a coffin and placed it at the palace gate, asking the officials to worship. Although most of the officials went there, they did not bow down, and they would not cry. They even flattered the thief, saying that the Lord of Jie and Zhou was the king of Jie and Zhou, and should have long been..." Old Hu was talking about the outside of Zhu Cizhao.

"These treacherous ministers! I only hate...the body of my father now?" Zhu Cizhao asked with tears on her face.

"Your Highness, we dare not inquire too carefully, but I heard that the thief buried the body of the emperor and the queen in the tomb of Concubine Gongshu." Old Hu replied.

"Thank you," Zhu Cizhao asked again, "How is my brother doing now?"

Old Hu stopped talking and said after a while: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is sick... he is very ill... it looks like a plague."

"What!" Zhu Cizhao stood up suddenly and almost knocked over the oil lamp.

"Have you found a doctor to show my brother? How do you know it's a plague!" Zhu Cizhao asked again.

"Last night, we took the risk to tie up an imperial physician named Bai to see the prince's illness." Lao Hu replied, "Doctor Bai said that the capital was already full of epidemics, and the prince was overly worried. In addition, the underground was heavy and the ventilation was not good, so..."

"Then how is my brother now?" Zhu Cizhao asked anxiously. He and the prince were not born on the same mother, but the relationship between the two was actually pretty good, especially at this time, Zhu Cizhao seemed to have fewer relatives. Suddenly, the news that the prince was infected with a plague came, but Zhu Cizhao was still very worried.

"Your Highness, Caomin is not very clear." Old Wu said, "Your Highness, you know that the thieves will definitely not let go of the descendants of the late emperor. Now the thieves are searching for several of His Highnesses everywhere. We usually don't dare to go out for fear of attracting the attention of the thieves. Naturally, we dare not go there to contact us, so the Caomin doesn't know what exactly. But Caomin thought that auspicious people will have their own heaven, and His Royal Highness will definitely turn bad luck into good luck."

"I hope this is the case." Zhu Cizhao said, "I don't know when I will escape."

"Your Highness, be more patient. Now the search outside is tight, but it is not the time." Old Hu said.

"Mr. Hu, it's really uncomfortable underground. At night, can you let Xiao Wang go to the ground to take a breath? Otherwise, Gu would be worried that if he stays here for a long time, he will be afraid that he will get sick." Zhu Cizhao said again.
