Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 145 Chapter 145, Li Zicheng talks about giving gifts, Zhu Cihong returns them twice

Li Zicheng thought for a while, then suddenly laughed: "Come here, find an envoy for me to go to the camp of the Ming army, just say..."

"Li Zicheng wants to negotiate peace with Daming?"

When hearing the news, Zhu Cihong couldn't help laughing.

Simply bullshit.

The relationship between Li Zicheng and Daming is the relationship between the court and the rebels.

It’s not that they can’t be recruited. The Ming Dynasty also recruited Zhang Xianzhong, but Li Zicheng has poisoned most of northern China. As the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the mainstay of the court, Zhu Cihong and Li Zicheng are absolutely immortal. There are you without me.

Li Guozhen was sitting next to Zhu Cihuang, with a strange expression on his face, and said to Zhu Cihong, "His Royal Highness, it's not impossible for us to meet each other. After all, the envoy said that there is a way to help us resist Jiannu."

Zhu Cilang said with a smile: "Can Li Zicheng believe what he says? Forget it, let the messenger come in. I also want to see what kind of scheme Li Zicheng wants to do!"

A moment later, a man who was not tall but with a strong physique and exuded a tough air came in and cupped his hands towards Zhu Cihong.

"He Jin has met the prince."

Zhu Cihong snorted, and looked at the other party in surprise: "You are He Jin, what kind of King Zuo Jin?"

He Jin's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice, "It's right here."

Zhu Cihong looked at He Jin and said with a smile: "You are a traitor, and it seems normal to call yourself a king, but it's fine for you to call yourself a king, but you still ran in front of Bengong, do you think you are looking for death? "

He Jin's expression remained unchanged, and said: "This place is the prince's territory, so His Royal Highness naturally has the final say on what to do."

Zhu Cilang spread his hands and said, "Tell me, what did Li Zicheng send you here to talk to me about?"

He Jin said: "Your Majesty sent me to discuss peace with Daming."

Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "Da Ming and Li Zicheng didn't discuss peace, is there anything else?"

He Jin was stunned for a moment, but still stated the condition: "Your Majesty said that if Daming is willing to negotiate peace, he can send troops to help Daming recover Datong and Taiyuan."

Zhu Cixiang sighed: "Are you deaf? I have already said that there is no such option as negotiation. The only outcome for Li Zicheng is to die at my hands, so that he can comfort the countless people in the Ming Dynasty who were tortured and killed by him. Soldier. But you, He Jin, if you want to surrender, I can consider sparing your life."

According to what Li Yan said before, after Liu Zongmin and others died in battle, He Jin and Li Guo are now the top generals under Li Zicheng's command. Of course, Zhu Cihong doesn't mind letting Li Zicheng lose another member by sacrificing He Jin's life. general.

He Jin said without thinking: "Thank you, Prince, but I will not betray His Majesty."

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "Then why are you still here, waiting for Ben Gong to cut off your head? Go back and tell Li Zicheng to wash his neck, and Ben Gong will personally kill him when the time comes."

He Jin stared at Zhu Cihong with a strange expression on his face.

He has also been on the battlefield for many years, and of course he can feel some things that ordinary people can hardly feel. For example, Zhu Cihong's words sounded very serious to He Jin.

If one day Li Zicheng was caught by Zhu Cihong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would really kill Li Zicheng with his own hands.

He Jindao: "Your Majesty said that as long as Daming is willing to grant him the four provinces of Shanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Gansu as fiefdoms, he is willing to submit to Daming, and..."

A bang of a gunshot interrupted He Jin's words.

He Jin took two steps back, looking at a small crater under his feet, with a rather ugly expression.

Zhu Cihong shook his head, and pointed the pistol in his hand at He Jin: "I'm afraid you are a dead-headed person, aren't you? I have already said it several times, why are you still beeping Lailai here?"

He Jin looked at the pistol in Zhu Cihong's hand, and for the first time there was a panic expression on his face, but it was fleeting.

He Jin said calmly: "He Jin is just to fulfill His Majesty's order."

Zhu Cihong nodded, and put away the pistol: "That's why your forehead hasn't been pierced by Ben Gong's bullet yet, well, you can get out."

Zhu Cihong has lost his patience, because in his opinion, this is a waste of time.

Just fight a war, what are you talking about so much nonsense?
He Jin was silent for a moment, and said: "Actually, our Majesty asked me to bring a gift to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Cihong smiled: "Gift? Bengong heard it right, take it and have a look."

Li Guozhen hurriedly said: "Your Highness, be careful of fraud."

At this moment, Li Guozhen's mind had already flashed through assassin stories such as Tuqiong Dagger, Xiangzhuang Sword Dance and so on.

But soon, Li Guozhen knew he was wrong.

The gift that He Jin asked someone to bring up was actually a...

"Puppy?" Zhu Cihong laughed loudly: "Interesting."

Yes, Li Zicheng sent someone to send a puppy, a very, very small kind of native dog, commonly known as the "Chinese Garden Dog" in later generations, and it seemed that it had not been born long ago.

He Jin put the puppy on the ground and said, "This is a gift from our Majesty to His Highness the Crown Prince."

The puppy barked twice suddenly.

Li Guozhen looked at the puppy with great interest, with a smile on his face.

For some reason, when Li Guozhen saw this puppy, he felt very hit-and-miss.

He Jindao: "Our Majesty said that although this puppy can bark, it is actually completely harmless. It even makes people laugh. What does Your Highness think?"

Li Guozhen was a little puzzled, and always felt that He Jin's words seemed to mean something.

A few seconds later, Li Guozhen, who came back to his senses, changed his face and jumped up: "Bold, how dare you disrespect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Zicheng actually used this newborn puppy to satirize Zhu Cihong.

The other Ming generals present were also full of anger, and they all opened their mouths to scold, staring at He Jin, wishing he could be cut to pieces on the spot.

Zhu Cihong suddenly burst out laughing.

The others looked at Zhu Cihong in surprise, and Li Guozhen was a little nervous and ready to stand up at any time, for fear that Zhu Cihong would suddenly run wild and do something irrational.

"Interesting, interesting." Zhu Cihong put away his smile, whistled towards the puppy, and beckoned.

The puppy obviously hesitated for a while, but quickly ran in front of Zhu Cihong with small steps.

Zhu Cihong picked up the puppy and stroked the puppy's head. The puppy seemed to be very comfortable and barked twice.

Zhu Cihong nodded in satisfaction, and said: "This dog is indeed destined to be with me, He Jin, after you go back, thank Li Zicheng for me. By the way, this dog should not have a name yet, right?"

He Jin shook his head: "Naturally, His Royal Highness the Prince should be named."

Zhu Cihong said: "Then name this dog 'Ping Shun', and hope that it will be safe and smooth in the future, what do you think?"

He Jin's face changed slightly.

Ping Shun, isn't that what Ping Ding Da Shun means?

He Jin forced a smile from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Your Highness's dog, it's His Highness's business how you want to name it."

Zhu Cilang smiled and said: "Let's see, as the saying goes, it's not indecent to come and go, and I will also ask someone to give you a gift... Oh no, two are good, you will remember to take them back to him later."

Half an hour later, He Jin returned to the city, and was immediately received by Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng couldn't wait to ask: "Did that brat Zhu Cixiang get so angry?"

He Jin thought for a while, and said, "He laughed very loudly."

Li Zicheng: "?"

This answer was not what Li Zicheng wanted to see.

He Jin said: "He still has two gifts to give to His Majesty."

Li Zicheng's eyes fell on He Jin's hand, which was holding the rein, which was attached to a very old and thin old horse.

Li Zicheng laughed loudly: "What does Zhu Cihong mean to say, I'm just such a skinny horse that's getting old? Interesting."

Although there was laughter, there was no smile on Li Zicheng's face.

Li Zicheng originally wanted to anger Zhu Cihong, so that Zhu Cihong could make a irrational judgment under anger, so that Li Zicheng could find an opportunity.

But now it seems that Li Zicheng's strategy has obviously not succeeded.

Li Zicheng snorted and said, "What about the other gift?"

He Jin took out two more things from his arms, a small porcelain bottle the size of a finger, and a letter.

Li Zicheng was a little puzzled: "What is this?"

He Jin said: "I've seen it, the bottle should be human blood, and it's just come out."

Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "This Zhu Cihong, he thought that putting a little of Li Yan's blood would scare me? He is really a child with a yellow mouth, and he is so naive in thinking about things. Bring me the letter and show it to me. "

Li Zicheng was still very cautious, in order to prevent Zhu Cihong from poisoning him, he didn't even touch the small porcelain bottle.

After opening the cover of the letter, Li Zicheng read the letter.

The content is as follows:

"Brother Hongji:

Ben Gong heard that there is a way to recognize relatives by dropping blood, that is, if two people are really related by blood, if they drop their blood into the water together, they will fuse together, otherwise they will repel each other.

According to Gao Jie, who was captured by Bengong before, he seems to have an affair with Brother Hongji's wife, Xing Shi.In order for Xing's sister-in-law to regain her innocence, a bottle of Gao Jie's blood is offered here.

In this way, brother Hongji must be able to find out the truth after confessing to his relatives with a drop of blood, and he is completely at ease. "

Li Zicheng watched, his body trembling involuntarily.

After a few seconds, he suddenly yelled and tore the letter into countless pieces.

"Huangkou kid, I'm really angry!"

Panting heavily, Li Zicheng cursed at Zhu Cihong, uttering all kinds of obscenities.

He Jin, who didn't know the content of the letter at all, stood aside, with obvious doubts on his face, and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, then...throw away this bottle of blood?"

Li Zicheng nodded first, but when He Jin was about to leave the big tent, he suddenly stopped him.

"Leave the blood."

He Jin became more and more confused, but still kept the blood as Li Zicheng said.

Li Zicheng waved He Jin to leave, and then called Li Guo.

"Where's Empress Xing? Tell her to come here immediately with Wan'er in her arms!"

While speaking, Li Zicheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent!
