Daming kill

Chapter 289 Shocking imperial decree

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: I heard that you killed many (our) people for being a Shu person, donkey, I am very unhappy.

I didn't talk about you before, because I didn't bother to talk to you.

Shu people can't be trusted, you don't want to protect them anymore, you don't agree with me.It's time to kill!If Chongqing is lost, I will eunuch you.This! "

Although he was introduced into the city solemnly and politely, although he had changed into clean clothes, and although all the weapons were put away, he still read this extremely insulting and negative imperial edict with a trembling voice.

After that, he was ashamed.

And sure enough, Zhang Rujing, who was kneeling on the ground to receive the order, didn't make a sound for a long time, and his face also changed drastically. The generals kneeling around also let out a sound of gasping for air-conditioning, and then fell into deathly silence.

Just when the squealing voice was sweating like rain, and he felt that he was about to lose his standing, he finally felt amnesty with a resounding "Thank you Lord Long En", and he hurriedly handed over the imperial edict in his hand to Zhang Rujing, who was still kneeling obediently.

After receiving the imperial edict and standing up, Zhang Rujing let out a sigh of relief.

He was rejoicing in his heart that he was still clever, and he put the killing before receiving the order, and after receiving the order, he did not invite anyone other than his confidant generals, especially those newly absorbed local officials.

Otherwise, I really can't tell!It's too much trouble!

Suddenly, Zhang Rujing noticed that his cronies were still in a daze, and his subordinates were all staring at him with solemn faces, so he hurriedly shouted to his cronies, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and watch the rewards."

He took the money anxiously, and then was greeted warmly by Zhang Rujing who continued to be respectful for a while, and also answered a lot of Zhang Rujing's genuine concern for Zhang Xianzhong, but his squeaky voice was dumbfounded.

Until he was arranged to rest and eat, he still wondered if he was dreaming?
He squeezed blood out of his thigh with all his strength, and he was sure that everything was true.

He knew that his difficulties should be over.

At this time, he almost yelled at the guards in a cathartic manner, without blocking or avoiding them.

If it weren't for those guards who came around, how could he have to pass this level.

Although the imperial decree was rough and even harsh, Squealer wasn't too worried about delivering the decree this time at first.

Zhang Xianzhong has never read a book since he was a child, and he has no interest in reading after the incident. He is a real big boss and a reckless master.

Even after Zhang Xianzhong proclaimed himself emperor, he ordered not to adjust so many court rules!From now on, he can wear whatever he wants in court; when he issues imperial edicts and official documents, he will write them all in spoken language, and he must write whatever he says, and if he changes a single word, he will beheaded!
It is no surprise how shocking his edict will be.

And it's really shocking!
Zhang Xianzhong became the emperor, so he naturally wanted to choose the queen, and he also wanted to be the mother of the world, so he quickly selected the captured former Minister of the Household Department and the cabinet scholar, who was also the daughter of Chen Yan from Sichuan.

But after learning about the cumbersome ceremony, Zhang Xianzhong showed great impatience, and immediately issued a famous and extremely vulgar "Book of the Queen's Edict": "Why should the queen make a note, as long as (our) Lao Tzu The head is hard, and if he is raised happily, he will be a queen, so please."

Squealer believes that as one of Zhang Xianzhong's three adopted sons, it is impossible for Zhang Rujing not to understand Zhang Xianzhong's disposition. The content of the Queen's Edict.

Do your homework in advance, this is the biggest difference between Squealer and the guards he has never seen.

The only trouble, and actually the biggest trouble, is Zhang Xianzhong's strong suspicion of Zhang Rujing revealed in the imperial decree.

However, Squealer speculated at the time that the two would not turn their faces, at least not right away.

But Zhang Rujing's ruthlessness and boldness exceeded his expectations, and also frightened him dumbfounded.

In fact, the sharp-tongued guess was correct, Zhang Rujing was full of worries at this time, and he didn't even have the slightest intention of going back to the mansion to see his wife and children whom he hadn't seen for many days.

And not only Zhang Rujing, Zhang Rujing's subordinates were also sighing.

"King Dingdong, what should I do? The emperor is suspicious of you!"

"Yes! Now we are getting more and more contrary to the emperor's decree. This is not a problem after all! With the emperor's temper, he will punish us sooner or later. What should we do?"

……

"The content of the imperial decree must not be passed on. I will chop whoever tells it." Zhang Rujing said again with a cold look.

In fact, Zhang Rujing was somewhat psychologically prepared for the current situation.

To clean up military discipline, he killed more than a thousand of his own people, including many generals and generals.

People's hearts have stabilized, and military discipline has been brought under control, but there has also been great turmoil within the army.

There are many dissatisfied.

Especially those troops that followed him or even came under his command after arriving in Chongqing.

Therefore, quite a few escaped.

Many of them ran away to return to Zhang Xianzhong's main force, or complained to Zhang Xianzhong.

Although Zhang Xianzhong was expected to be dissatisfied, Zhang Rujing didn't expect Zhang Xianzhong's dissatisfaction to be so strong, and then he scolded himself in such a merciless way.

He realized that Zhang Xianzhong was no longer the person he once followed and admired with full of longing.

But although deeply disappointed, Zhang Rujing has no other thoughts at the moment.

He is 23 years old this year. He was captured by Zhang Xianzhong when he was ten years old, and he raised him as his own son.From then on, he followed Zhang Xianzhong to the north and south for more than ten years, and forged a deep relationship.

This kind of heavy feeling is by no means something that can be easily shaken.

Finally, Zhang Rujing sighed, and said firmly: "Our focus now is to defend Chongqing well. As long as we can keep Chongqing well, everything else will be fine gradually, and my father will understand me. I will return early tomorrow morning." Causeway Gorge."

Zhang Rujing's subordinates looked at each other and could only nod helplessly.

However, Zhang Rujing, who has a deep relationship with Zhang Xianzhong for more than ten years and is one of the three kings, can ignore Zhang Xianzhong's rudeness.

But it is difficult for others.

Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong's imperial decree full of harshness and abuse was not limited to Zhang Rujing.

At this time, Liu Jinzhong, the governor of the Xiaoqi Camp in Langzhong, Baoning Prefecture, northeast Sichuan, also received an imperial edict.

Since it was the first time he received the imperial decree, Liu Jinzhong attached great importance to it.

He not only organized a grand welcome ceremony, but also paved the ground with red silk from the government to the outside of the city.As soon as the imperial decree arrived, local students were invited to read aloud on the altar, and officials, gentry, and common people were ordered to kneel down and listen together.

However, "Edict to Liu Jinzhong": "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: 喒 (our) Lao Tzu (called) you don't go to Hanzhong, you insist on going to Hanzhong, and now you have lost many soldiers and horses. Donkey, come into you Damn it, this is it!"

When the gloating students read the last sentence, there was a burst of laughter from the audience, and Liu Jinzhong's face turned green on the spot.

After a moment of bewilderment, Liu Jinzhong rushed to the top of the altar in a rage, grabbed the imperial decree and asked a few cronies who could read to confirm it.

When the literate cronies confirmed with trepidation that the students were not free to play, Liu Jinzhong yelled in pain, then left everyone and fled back to the mansion in despair.

Locking himself in the room, Liu Jinzhong couldn't help but burst into tears, and then kept swearing, his face also started to turn purple.

He felt very aggrieved and surprisingly angry.

After entering Sichuan, the Daxi Army was invincible all the way, which made Liu Jinzhong very excited. After hearing that Zhang Xianzhong was planning to proclaim himself emperor like Li Zicheng, he, who was always very happy, decided to do something big to win Zhang Xianzhong's favor and seek a better position.

At this time, Liu Jinzhong was sent by Zhang Xianzhong, who was short of generals, to lead the army alone to attack Baoning Mansion, which is adjacent to Chengdu Mansion.

At this time, the Conservative Mansion was still facing the threat of the Shaanxi Dashun Army from the north, and the fighting spirit of the Ming army was chaotic and weak, so Liu Jinzhong took Baoning Mansion surprisingly smoothly.

This made Liu Jinzhong's heart swell, and his appetite became bigger and bigger.

Because it is very clear that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are at odds with each other, and Zhang Xianzhong is very dissatisfied with Li Zicheng's proclaiming emperor first, and he also knows that Zhang Xianzhong can't be trapped in Sichuan, but he has plans to send troops to attack Shaanxi in the future.

Before he sent troops to Baoning, Zhang Xianzhong had clearly warned him not to plot Hanzhong without authorization, but to make unified arrangements after the Western Army pacified Sichuan.

But Liu Jinzhong, who is eager for meritorious service, is unwilling to wait any longer!

He felt that it was the best time for Li Zicheng's army to go north, and the troops in Shaanxi must be very empty.If you don't do it now, when will you wait?So he quickly sent troops to Hanzhong, which was very close to him, when he had seized Baoning Mansion and was still not gaining a firm foothold.

But unexpectedly, he was actually defeated.

Then his kindness was taken as a donkey's liver and lungs!Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong humiliated himself so publicly.

A scholar can be killed and cannot be humiliated, especially the most intolerable humiliation of the ancients, which is even more humiliating.

"Xian thief, how dare you insult my old lady? If I don't take revenge, I will be a man in vain! I don't keep my master here, I have my own place to keep my master. I won't do anything with you, I'll vote for Dashun, let you Looks good!" Liu Jinzhong roared out in anger.

As soon as he thought of it, Liu Jinzhong ran out of the house to find his cronies to gather troops.

The power of an imperial decree is so powerful, Zhang Xianzhong probably never imagined it in his dreams, and others seem to find it hard to believe that it is true.

But in fact, this sacred purpose was even more lethal in history, and it can be said that it directly led to Zhang Xianzhong's death.

In history, this imperial decree with the original text unchanged actually happened before the Qing army attacked Sichuan. Liu Jinzhong did not follow Zhang Xianzhong's advice and took the lead in attacking the Qing army in Hanzhong, but failed.

When Liu Jinzhong received the imperial edict sent by Zhang Xianzhong in a rage, he directly voted for the Qing army in shame and anger, and then led the Qing army into Sichuan.And in a reconnaissance encounter between the two sides, Zhang Xianzhong was identified for the Qing army, so the Qing army suddenly attacked with a heavy arrow at close range and shot Zhang Xianzhong to death with one arrow.

Of course, Zhang Xianzhong did conspire against Hanzhong in history.

However, he personally led the attack at that time, and the forward was Li Dingguo, and he played very smoothly in the early stage, and even invaded the Hanzhong area at one point, but was later defeated by He Zhen, the general of Li Zicheng who returned to aid.

If it is said that Zhang Rujing's ridiculous decree is still confusing, and Liu Jinzhong's ridiculous decree forced him to rebel, then there is another oral decree that completely pushes a class to the opposite of the Daxi Army.

In Chengdu, there was a guy who was even more unlucky and had a greater impact.

Since Zhang Xianzhong became the emperor, he naturally had to start a course to obtain a scholar, so the number one scholar in the first course was born just yesterday.

The champion's name is Zhang Dashou, with a dignified appearance, and he is not yet thirty.

All the ministers praised the new No. 20 scholar in the hall, and Zhang Xianzhong was very happy.At that time, four beauties, a mansion and [-] servants were rewarded, plus rewards and banquets.

Zhang Dashou was also very happy to see this situation, and he didn't fall asleep all night. To express his gratitude, he hurriedly made a special trip to see Zhang Xianzhong today to thank him again.

But when Zhang Xianzhong heard that his champion had arrived, he suddenly didn't know what was going on, so he blurted out: "This donkey bred, I love him so much, and when I saw him, I loved him so much." .My old man is a little afraid of seeing him, so please clean him up quickly, and don't ask him to come see our old man again!"

In this way, the family of champions who had just taken office and the beauties who had been rewarded were all ransacked and beheaded immediately, so that Zhang Zhuangyuan didn't believe it was true until his death.

And the impact of this matter is extremely huge.

The Shu people and the entire intellectual class lost the last thought of Zhang Xianzhong.

However, Li Ping's army in Fuzhou is still unclear about Zhang Xianzhong's new movements.

In the morning of this day, Mi Cang, who was running to the troops on the way to the army within the stipulated time limit for final collection of leave and assembly due to the delay at Old Man He, happened to pass by Li Ping's mansion, and then he saw Qin Liangyu and Zeng Yingman They were about to ask to see Li Ping together with sad faces.

The army was about to leave, and the vanguard had left even yesterday. The two local generals who couldn't follow along knew very well that there was no turning back, and the future of Sichuan would be full of bleakness.

Maybe they are going to say a final farewell!Yonekura thought.

When he turned his head and ran into a street, Mi Cang saw Yang Ming and Yang Yukun, who currently only had the vain job of teaching office officer, passionately preaching to a group of men and women in the security camp who were passing by with messy things listlessly. The necessity of fighting thieves.

He stopped involuntarily, and then thought about it.

Suddenly, the wind picked up!

The once white cloudy sky was quickly replaced by groups of fast-moving dark clouds.

Yonekura realized that something might be about to happen.
