Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 601

When Zhang Xianzhong proposed to accept Cuihua as his goddaughter, Cuihua was really grateful for the mighty kindness of the emperor.

Although Cuihua came from a humble background and had been performing arts for many years, thanks to Zhang Xianzhong's appreciation, she ended her begging career on the street.

But at the age of 16, she is not willing to marry Zhang Xianzhong who can be more than enough to be his father. She can serve men and protect men. However, the emperor is deep in the palace, and the courtyard is a little deeper. I shudder to hear this.

If Zhang Xianzhong agrees, she would rather be a maid for the rest of her life, protecting and serving Zhang Xianzhong, this is already satisfying for her, and it is already a step up to the sky.

16 years old is the age of the flower season, youth is sprouting, and there are many women who are as old as her to marry a husband and have children. Regarding Zhang Xianzhong's intentions and greedy eyes looking at her, Cuihua certainly understands that Zhang Xianzhong will not be kind to her in vain. Of course she wanted something, but what she wanted was her youthful age and dreamlike body.

Now I heard that Zhang Xianzhong wanted to take her as his goddaughter, and it was a step up from a court lady to a princess, let alone changing from a street performer to a goddaughter.

Cuihua knelt down and burst into tears of gratitude.

Seeing that Cuihua was so grateful, Zhang Xianzhong felt a little unhappy, "Why, you are not happy?"

"My servant thanked the lord Long En, thanked the father for his love, Cuihua will become a cow and a horse in the next life, and I can't repay His Majesty's deep kindness."

Cuihua kept kowtowing her head, not knowing what to say, for fear that Zhang Xianzhong would change his mind again.Princess Qian is also a princess. From now on, her status is below one person and above ten thousand people. More importantly, Zhang Xianzhong should no longer covet her.

Afterwards, Zhang Xianzhong rewarded his goddaughter heavily and named her Princess Cuiyu. From now on, no one will mention the native name Cuihua.

On a good day and auspicious day, Zhang Xianzhong could sit up, held a grand banquet, and announced to the world that he had adopted a goddaughter.

The officials and generals who accompanied King Qin were puzzled, just lost a battle, why did His Majesty recognize a goddaughter again?Isn't this the court lady Cuihua favored by His Majesty? If she wasn't included in the harem and made a beauty, how did she recognize her goddaughter?

I recognized four godsons, and all of them were named kings. These four godsons can be said to be the four pillars of Zhang Xianzhong's empire building.It's the first time to accept a daughter, but this Cuihua can be regarded as a hero among girls. Not only is she beautiful, smart and well-behaved, she also has amazing martial arts.

All the generals are also convinced, lamenting that Cuihua has good luck, even if there is a thousand-mile horse, there must be Bole, so that they can reach the sky in one step and become prosperous.

They all came to congratulate Zhang Xianzhong and Princess Cuiyu, and Li Zicheng was no exception. Generals Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang, and Tian Jianxiu also came to congratulate Li Zicheng.

Now these five generals have all surrendered to Zhang Xianzhong, in fact they surrendered to Li Zicheng.

Pan Duao's eyes and ears were right, after this general was captured by Li Zicheng, he vowed not to surrender to the death.Zhang Xianzhong planned to kill them. Li Zicheng said that he knew these five people. A thousand troops are easy to get and a general is hard to find. The five people are all capable. It is a pity to kill them like this. He can persuade them. If they really If you don't know the current affairs, it's never too late to kill.

Zhang Xianzhong agreed, and Li Zicheng led Li Guo and other five people to his tent, and first ordered military doctors to treat their injuries. After the injuries stabilized, Li Zicheng persuaded them to surrender.

At the beginning, the five generals yelled at Li Zicheng for being ungrateful, rebellious, and vicious towards Qin and Muchu. He even killed his god-grandson and nephew. , Even his wife Gao Guiying and his concubine Dou Meiyi are gone, they vowed not to surrender.

Li Zicheng didn't expect his former subordinates to be so poisoned now, just like his wife Gao Guiying, who had identified Emperor Hongguang of the Ming Dynasty and could not return.

Not to mention my own nephew and brother-in-law here, the remaining three generals, I have treated them well these years, fighting together for so many years, after the founding of Dashun, I named them generals, princes of princes, Uncle's uncle.However, he couldn't resist Zhu Yousong's kindness these days, and Li Zicheng was really anxious.

But when he calmed down and thought about it, he was relieved, even his wife Gao Guiying betrayed him, let alone these people?It seems that what I am doing now is indeed not good enough, and one day I need to reshape my image.

Thinking about it this way, Li Zicheng was not angry at all. Listening to their scolding, he was neither anxious nor annoyed, and did not make any excuses. After walking away from the left and right, he took out something from his arms. His decree.

The five generals saw it at that time and then suddenly realized that Li Zicheng in their minds was not the kind of villain who was ungrateful and ungrateful.One is that they all felt that Li Zicheng was wronged, and they all kowtowed to Li Zicheng to plead guilty, and then they were all willing to surrender according to the order.

Li Zicheng is very happy, don't care whose order you follow, as long as you are willing to listen to me, Li Zicheng, let's take one step at a time, first turn against Kuizhou, save his daughter Li Na from Zhang Xianzhong, and then put the five of you in order, and then go there I, Li Zicheng, am not afraid of your disobedience. I, Li Zicheng, am no better than Wu Sangui and the Manchu Tartars, and I am no match for Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong. But if I can’t deal with you, all these years will be in vain. He is in his 30s and has commanded thousands of troops. Ma, who has had several ups and downs, and was an emperor, has lived in vain for so many years.

So Li Zicheng remained calm, took the five of them together like a family, and explained that he had to kill Li Laiheng again, and shed a few tears, hoping that his nephew Li Guo would understand.

These generals really understood Li Zicheng, and believed that Li Laiheng died for Ming Dynasty, he was a loyal minister and martyr, and he deserved his death.

The grievances between Li Zicheng and the five generals were resolved.In the next step, Li Zicheng and the five generals discussed the matter of overthrowing Kuizhou.

Zhu Yousong set up camp in Chunshuwan, 30 miles southeast of Kuizhou. Li Zicheng and others felt that the time had come.When Zhang Xianzhong's injury is almost healed, Li Zicheng will personally persuade Zhang Xianzhong to send troops to Chunshuwan, and the rhetoric has already been thought out.

Zhang Xianzhong came here suddenly, recognized a dry princess, arranged a big banquet, and passed down the order to let them go to congratulate, Li Zicheng and others felt puzzled.

Later, after discussing secretly with Gao Yigong, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi and six other people, they planned to come to find out the truth.

The temporary palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons, gongs and drums were blaring, and it was so lively that it was a big festival. Everything was ready. After all the generals and ministers of civil and military affairs arrived, the cups and plates were lined up, and the palace ladies were like flowers. Of course I sat with Zhang Xianzhong, but Zhang Xianzhong took the main seat, and Li Zicheng lowered his hand.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Xianzhong invited Princess Cuiyu out and poured wine for Li Zicheng himself.
