    Since Zhu Di, the three words "Qingjunbi" have been synonymous with rebellion, but our Highness Dong Wang doesn't seem to understand, but he takes the three words as true.  After 200,000 troops surrounded the capital, Zhang Ke first did not order an attack on the city, and secondly did not block the four gates, trapping the soldiers and civilians in the city.  They actually allowed merchants outside the city to enter and trade, and even took the initiative to provide grain to help stabilize prices in the capital.  Looking at Zhang Ke's actions, it seems that he has no intention of conquering the country, and all he has to deal with is the traitors around the emperor.  This move was not clever, but the timing was so good. Zhang Ke clearly had an absolute advantage, but he did not take action directly. A trace of fantasy arose in the hearts of Chongzhen monarchs and ministers. Maybe they could get Zhang Ke to withdraw his troops without having to fight hard.  On the third day when the capital was besieged, Hou Xun, the left minister of the Ministry of War, was ordered to ride alone to Zhang Ke's camp at Marco Polo Bridge.  "Your Majesty, please pay homage to His Highness the East King." "Please get up." Zhang Ke smiled slightly, looked at Hou Xun, and said, "Master Hou, after all, we are old friends. How are we in the capital these days?" Thinking back to the time when he was confused.  After running to Liaodong, if it weren't for Zhang Ke's help, Hou Xun wouldn't be alive today.  Later, as a peripheral member of the Liao Party, he helped Zhang Ke a lot.  Later, he turned to the court again. Seeing that Zhang Ke was still thinking about his old relationship, Hou Xun was secretly relieved.  "Your Majesty, to be honest, people say that these days people are struggling to make a living. In fact, I would say that it is the officials who are struggling to make a living." Hou Xun said with a bitter smile: "Since he came to the throne, our emperor has been eager to seek governance. Cabinet University  The soldiers, the six ministers and the nine ministers, are like a revolving door. Before their buttocks are hot, they have to be replaced by another one. To put it bluntly, they are not so diligent in changing women. They regard all officials as domestic servants.  It¡¯s really chilling!¡± Hou Xun baba bala poured out his bitter words. Zhang Ke was noncommittal, but Du Qing smiled disdainfully and said: ¡°Master Hou, if you really hate Chongzhen, then join us in rebellion. If you are loyal to the emperor, don¡¯t talk nonsense here.  "Don't think that just a three-year-old kid can fool someone with just a few words of yours." "How dare you!" Hou Xun really wanted to get closer to Zhang Ke, but Du Qing exposed it.  Suddenly the old man's face turned red, he coughed twice to relieve his embarrassment, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have come here under the orders of the Chief Assistant, and I would like to ask you, what do you want to do? Is it to rectify the country, or to replace it?  ¡± Simply put.  Hou Xun is asking, is your brother really a loyal emperor, or does he want to be the emperor himself?  Zhang Ke chuckled lightly: "Master Hou, you come straight to the point. I can't be secretive. I started to join the army in the forty-seventh year of Wanli. Along the way, I reached the rank of king. Some people think that I want to take a step higher.  Sitting in the Jinluan Palace. To be honest, how many emperors in the past can be remembered in history?  Only heroes and great heroes can be remembered by the people forever. If Zhang Ke was not talented, he would have rebelled long ago, and he would definitely not delay it until today. Sir Hou, I will tell you one more thing. The Westerners started the Age of Discovery.  Beyond the Ming Dynasty, there is a land that is ten times and a hundred times wider, and there is countless wealth. The emperor who is obsessed with the Ming Dynasty is just sitting on his own feet and looking at the sky, and he has begun to expand overseas and has immigrated to more than two hundred people.  Ten thousand. As long as we have time to immigrate tens of millions of people and seize a land wider than the Ming Dynasty, it will be a good time to expand the territory. All the generals here will have the opportunity to surpass Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and do great things and leave their names.  It can be said that this is a rare opportunity. If the imperial court does not insist on getting along with Zhang Ke, there is no need for me to bother. "Hou Xun was completely stunned by this statement. He really couldn't believe that there was another throne in the world.  Something more tempting?  It sounded a bit unbelievable. Zhang Ke waved and someone brought the album and sent it to Hou Xun. Zhang Ke motioned for Hou Xun to take a look.  Hou Xun hurriedly opened it. It was amazing to see it, and saw the results of the development of the South China Sea drawn on it.  Through Zhang Ke¡¯s efforts, he first seized Ryukyu and Kyushu Island, then Taiwan, and then Java Island, forcing the Portuguese to relent, take Macau back, and reopen it as a commercial port.  Launch an attack on Manila and seize the entire Philippines.  Another expedition fleet set out along the Java Island and discovered a large number of islands to the east. Most of them had fertile land and sufficient rain. However, there were only some black and thin indigenous people on the islands. It was simply a waste to leave such a good place to them.  A waste of natural resources.  The fleet continued eastward and unexpectedly discovered a huge continent. In terms of area, it was definitely not smaller than the Ming Dynasty.  It's just that the climate on land is dry and not suitable for farming. It can only breed cattle and sheep. But even so, it is a super treasure.  Details in the album?The area, population, special products, etc. of the first discovered land were marked. Hou Xun's eyes widened when he saw it. To him, it was like a book of mountains and seas, bizarre and unbelievable.  "Your Majesty, this, all these lands belong to the Ming Dynasty?" "To be precise, they belong to me!" Zhang Ke sneered: "Master Hou is familiar with the classics and history. He knows a story told by Zhuangzi. He said that the phoenix flew from the South China Sea to  In the North Sea, it would not rest unless it was a plane tree, it would not eat its bamboo fruits, and it would not drink its sweet spring water. An owl had just caught a dead mouse. When it saw a phoenix flying by, it looked up to the sky and howled: Don't snatch me away.  "Zhang Ke said with a smile: "I dare not say that I compare myself to the phoenix, but some people regard life as ordinary, but I may not care about it. The overseas world is vast, and a man should conquer the world and compete with the heroes.  , Only by truly standing on the wave of the times and taking the lead can you live up to your lifelong ambition. Mr. Hou, tell your majesty what I said, and also tell the chief minister that as long as I can make it easy for him, I will never embarrass him. " Hou  After listening to Zhang Ke's words and looking at the album in his hand, Xun felt really excited.  Those islands with an astonishing area were not the barren land he imagined. Some of them were labeled as rich in spices, with a profit of two million taels per year.  Some write that there are many gold and silver deposits that can be exploited for hundreds of years.  Others wrote that the land was vast, comparable to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, with three crops a year and no fear of famine Hou Xun couldn't help but have an idea in his mind. If he could get an island, even the smallest one, it would be better to be a native emperor than  Now this minister is much more prestigious.  No wonder Zhang Ke doesn¡¯t care about the emperor¡¯s position, because he has a better choice.  It¡¯s not that he has much loyalty, but that he doesn¡¯t care at all.  Although this result is very sad, hurts self-esteem, and is very frustrating, Hou Xun has captured the key point, that is, there is still something that can be done, and the crisis may be resolved peacefully.  Thinking of this, there was no need for him to stay, so he hurriedly left and returned to the capital.  After Hou Xun was sent away, Zhang Ke's men were all upset. Zhang Feng, Du Qing, Qiao Fu, Qiao Gui, and Yue Zixuan gathered around him.  Zhang Feng first said: "Yongzhen, what do you mean? Don't you want to seize the throne? Don't forget, killing someone without death will turn into revenge. If we don't kill Chongzhen now, once he slows down, we will not have a good life."  " Qiao Gui rarely refuted Zhang Ke and said: "Yongzhen, you want to go overseas to become a prince, but have you ever thought about it? The climate overseas is very different and miasma is everywhere. You are not a refugee with no way out. Who is willing to give up the colorful world?  !¡± Everyone was chattering away, and Zhang Ke suddenly said with a bad smile: ¡°Don¡¯t be so naive, okay? I gave Hou Xun some ** soup, and he didn¡¯t know whether he was drunk or not, but you are drunk!¡±  " Zhang Feng and everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but slap their foreheads.  "Yongzhen, what you said is so true, we have all been deceived by you!" "Haha, nine out of ten good deceptions are true. Only a little bit of falsehood can deceive smart people. I want to open up a new way  It's true overseas, but it must be based on the Ming Dynasty. Don't worry, I won't let Chongzhen go this time, but I will take over the country at the minimum cost." Zhang Ke stood up and moved his arms.  There was a crackling sound.  "Let the chaos end quickly. While we are all young, we can recharge our batteries, create a peaceful and prosperous age for all eternity, and take the earth home!"  When Zhang Ke was dreaming of the dream of "playing the game",  However, Chongzhen fell into complete insomnia. He sat in front of the red candle for two hours, motionless, as if he were a sculpture.  If it weren't for the occasional rise and fall of his chest and his blinking eyelids, he would be a dead person.  The old eunuch Wang Chengen stood motionless beside Chongzhen, his eyes lowered and silent.  Since being beaten, he has learned to be silent. He only serves Chongzhen and does not say a word or care about the rest.  Chongzhen had been sitting there, and suddenly the Western clock rang. It was already midnight.  Chongzhen stood up slowly, and when he arrived at the entrance of the palace, he seemed to be able to vaguely hear chaotic sounds.  Ever since Zhang Ke's army came, the palace had become unstable. Almost every day, eunuchs and maids sneaked out and never came back.  Do not stay on the day of my giving me yesterday, do not stay!  "Pass an order to bring Cao Huachun here."  "Prince Qi, Hou Xun is here again, and he has brought someone with him." Du Qing said loudly.  "Who?" "It's an eunuch, I heard his name is Cao Huachun." "Oh!" Zhang Ke's eyes immediately shrank, and a signature smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.  Chongzhen really did not disappoint himself, once again playing the role of a pig teammate,?The person who sold himself.  Anyone who understands Chongzhen¡¯s character will know that this subjugated king has always been praised for his diligence. However, for a stupid person, the more diligent he is, the worse the consequences will be. Chongzhen was superstitious about power and did not have the minimum responsibility.  The reason for sending Cao Huachun here must be to make him take the blame and act as a discarded chess piece.  "People are not chess pieces after all!" Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Du Qing, tell Cao Huachun that if he still wants to live, he will confess according to my instructions. He said that the death of Emperor Tianqi was caused by Chongzhen secretly. Chongzhen killed his brother.  Usurping the throne is a heinous crime, and everyone will be punished!" (To be continued)
