Chapter 28 Zhang Xianzhong's Story of the Founding of the Kingdom of Heaven (6)
The chapter name is wrong, it should be Chapter 27

"No." Pan Du'ao replied, "Some of the news coming from the north said that Emperor Chongzhen was put under house arrest by the Eastern captives, some said that Emperor Chongzhen had been killed by Li Zicheng, and some said that Emperor Chongzhen was killed by the Eastern captives.
To sum up, the life and death of Emperor Chongzhen is unknown, and the throne of the Ming Dynasty is vacant."
"I thought what were you going to say, Lao Pan? The Ming Dynasty's throne is vacant, what are we doing with the Great Western Army?"
"Your Majesty, don't you understand yet! Why is the Great Western Army not progressing smoothly in Sichuan? Who is blocking our way?"
Zhang Xianzhong frowned and replied: "It's just some well-known gentlemen in local states and counties who have organized group training. If Heavenly Father hadn't asked me to be reasonable, I would have ordered the generals to join the city and wipe out all these people.
The roots have been removed."
Pan Duao clapped his hands and said: "Yes, it is not only the Sichuan Ming Army that is in trouble with the Daxi Army now, but also the local officials and gentry in Sichuan. As long as we bring out the tablet of Emperor Chongzhen's god, we can deal with these people - Your Majesty
Are you willing to use a sign of Emperor Chongzhen to attract Sichuan people?"
Pan Duao's words made Zhang Xianzhong feel even more strange. Zhang Xianzhong once decisively surrendered to the Ming Dynasty's minister Xiong Wencan when the situation was unfavorable. His position had always been flexible before his emotions became extreme. If the tablet of Emperor Chongzhen's god was shown
, it would be possible to settle the resistance of the Sichuan officials and gentry to the Daxi Army. Of course Zhang Xianzhong could do this without saying a word.
But……
"But we killed officials and rebelled, captured cities and territories, and when this guy took out a memorial tablet, some people believed that our Western Army came to Sichuan to mourn Emperor Chongzhen? Lao Pan, don't tease me!"
Pan Duao lowered his eyelids, and Zhu Youlang knelt in front of Pan Duao. Mr. Pan put his hands on Zhu Youlang's shoulders and explained to Zhang Xianzhong:
"This King Gui is a cousin of Emperor Chongzhen. He is so close to Chongzhen that only King Fu of Nanjing can be compared with him in the world. But I heard that King Fu had a difficult time in Nanjing. King Fu and King Lu
The two princes of the Zhu family refused to give in to each other. Although Chongzhen was probably dead, none of these two courageous villains dared to stand up and claim to inherit Chongzhen's throne.
But!
Our situation is different. King Zhu Youlang of Gui is now in our hands. In terms of brotherly relationship, Zhu Youlang is much closer than King Lu and Chongzhen of Nanjing. It is very reasonable and reasonable for him to inherit the throne. As long as our Daxi Army supports him
Zhu Youlang is the emperor. Since the officials and gentry in Sichuan keep saying that they are loyal to the emperor and serve the country, then if our new emperor issues an imperial edict, is there any reason why Chengdu and Sichuan cannot be taken down?"
Zhang Xianzhong was stunned when he heard Pan Duao's whimsical plan. He was very surprised and said: "You really want me to mourn Chongzhen? We are all people who killed officials and rebelled. Old Pan, you didn't even go through the recruitment process."
, I ran directly to support an emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Isn’t it too fast?”
"Your Majesty, this is a God-given opportunity that cannot be missed and will never come again. Chongzhen's life and death are unknown, and neither King Fu nor King Lu have the courage to proclaim himself emperor. As long as we seize the opportunity, support King Gui to proclaim himself emperor, we will make this matter an ironclad matter.
Case. No matter whether Chongzhen dies or not, no matter which King Fu or King Lu comes around first and proclaims himself emperor, the Daxi Army can take over the whole of Sichuan with the help of King Gui."
Pan Duao saw that Zhang Xianzhong was still surprised, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was still hot:
"Li Zicheng has now captured four or five provinces, and his military strength is much stronger than our Daxi Army. But King Gui is in our hands. As long as we support King Gui as emperor, we can win over many Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers.
He may not lose to Li Zicheng in the future.
In fact, I think many of the Ming army in Sichuan are also uncertain. They are at both ends, and Chongzhen’s life and death are unclear. As long as we use King Gui as a sign, there will definitely be very few people in the Ming army in Sichuan who will fight to the death with Xiying.”
Zhang Xianzhong finally realized it. He looked at Zhu Youlang who was kneeling on the ground and shivering. He walked off the stage, squatted in front of Zhu Youlang, grabbed King Gui's chin and asked:
"Brother Zhu, Lao Pan seems to want me to coerce the emperor to command the princes, and he wants me, Lao Zhang, to work for Cao Cao. Brother Zhu, are you afraid?"
Zhu Youlang shook his head repeatedly and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." But when he saw Zhang Xianzhong's unhesitating expression, he quickly lowered his head and shouted, "I'm not afraid."
Zhang Xianzhong then grinned and said: "Hey, good fellow. Brother Zhu, I, Mr. Zhang, have boarded your pirate ship now and support you as emperor! Okay, that's no problem. I always do what I say.
, Besides, Brother Zhu, you are still my church member, I can swear to you that I will never be like Cao Cao, and today I really want to help you become the emperor!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, whatever you say is whatever you say! I...ah, Gu, Chen, I, I..."
Pan Duao patted Zhu Youlang's back and said comfortingly: "King Gui... no, from now on it should be your Majesty. Let's cooperate sincerely. At least your Majesty's future life will not be as wandering as he has been in this period of time.
"
Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Lao Pan's idea is so wonderful! If Uncle Liu Huang can do it, Cao Mengde can do it too, then Li Zicheng will be like Sun Wu at best. Let's hurry up and send people to Mianzhou City.
Are you here to repair the palace? Hurry up and tell the world that Emperor Xian of Han... ah, Emperor Zhu is going to ascend the throne."
Zhu Youlang didn't dare to say a word or ask questions, while Pan Duao said confidently: "Wang Guangen is an old acquaintance of the king. He has been in contact with us since the siege. King, I am willing to ride into Chengdu alone."
, take the edict from King Gui to persuade Wang Guangen to work with us.
As long as Wang Guangen is on our side, the two civil servants Fan Yiheng and Gao Doushu cannot make much trouble."
"Good guy, are we going to have to wear an edict on clothes and belts now? Okay, brother Zhu, Emperor Zhu, will you help me, Lao Zhang, write a edict on clothes and belts for us today?"
Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed, while Pan Duao continued to add: "It is said that Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan and was already conferring official titles. I think that in order to persuade Wang Guangen to work with us, we have to use the name of King Gui to promise him a title."
.”
"A knighthood?"
Zhang Xianzhong grabbed a handful of bearded men, stepped on the chair, and shouted: "Call a bullshit knight! If you want, make him a king!"
Zhu Youlang shrank his neck and stuck his head out and said: "This... the king will not be crowned king... this is not in line with the court regulations..."
Zhang Xianzhong laughed again: "You will be the emperor soon, why can't you make a king? I have the final say on this matter, just like this, let's make Wang Guangen a king... Well, Old Pan, what kind of king do you think you should make?
How about we learn from ourselves and give Wang Guangen the title of King of Qin?"
Pan Duao said: "There was a King of Qin in the Ming Dynasty. Since we want to make King Gui the emperor, it is inconvenient to give King Guangen King of Qin. How about using the meaning of the Winged Heavenly Dynasty and promising a King of Wings to Wang Guangen? This king's title does not come from the Ming Dynasty regulations.
, and there is no conflict with the Zhu family vassal king."
"The Winged Heavenly Dynasty? Not bad, not bad." Zhang Xianzhong seemed to suddenly think of something. He walked around the hall twice more with his hands behind his back, and finally clapped his hands and shouted, "What a Winged Heavenly Dynasty! What a Winged King! In this way, Emperor Zhu,
Since I am the one who wants to help you sit on the dragon's throne, shouldn't I also be rewarded with a prince to do it?"
