"Yes." With Gong Yong's qualifications and age, he rarely talks about a person so long, especially a young man like Deng Ming: "At first, I thought the Duke was the emperor, but I thought there were many similarities between the Duke and the Emperor. It is very rare for the emperor to make a promise and keep a promise and keep a promise and keep a promise and do not bring any benefits to the world. Before I heard about the Duke's affairs, I even thought it was harmful but not profitable."

Normal behavior in troubled times is to speak without trust. This is true for military generals like Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu, and other civil servants such as Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to break their promises and become fat. It is also common for Emperor Chongzhen to go back on his word. The number of times other rebel leaders surrendered was compared with the repeated rebel leaders of emperors, generals and ministers is a slight witch.

However, no one had taken Li Zicheng's head to the false surrender of the carriage gorge at this time. Chen Qiyu, the direct handling officer of the carriage gorge, did not mention Li Zicheng in the memorial. The participant, the governor of Shaanxi, also pointed out in the memorial that the person who surrendered was Zhang Xianzhong, Scorpion Dog and others, so Gong Yong said that Li Zicheng believed in Deng Ming and could not refute it.

"The emperor is not cruel enough. After the Tartars entered the pass, they slaughtered the city and robbed the army, and won the support of the surrendered army at once and comforted the generals. At that time, Jiang Xiang had ulterior motives, but the emperor did not make up his mind to cheat the surrendered army, and was defeated so badly in Taiyuan. Anyway, they all repelled Luo Rucai, and directly annexed his army and killed all his nephews, but the emperor regretted and felt guilty, and finally let Luo Rucai's son continue to take charge of his army. How could he have such unified power since ancient times? The emperor obviously wanted to fight for the world, but he always did

I couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, and often made us ministers anxious, thinking that this was really the kindness of a woman. Duke, your behavior was similar. This time, I came from Kuidong, and I heard that after the Battle of Chongqing, you not only did not take the opportunity to use food and salary to threaten the generals in Kuidong to obey orders, but instead gave money and food, but they were all given for nothing!” Speaking of this, Gong Yan's tone gradually increased: "Duke, it would be fine if you were a descendant of the emperor, but I wouldn't say anything, but you didn't know that this was a missed opportunity and gave the opportunity to seize power in vain?"

Deng Ming smiled bitterly: "The generals fought against the enemy side by side, and the enemy was not destroyed. How can they kill each other? "

"Don't the Duke of the State know that people are harmless and tigers are hurtful?" Gong Yan's voice raised even higher: "Just like Wu thief, how do the Duke of the State know what others think?"

"Does Mr. Gong still blame me for this?" Deng Ming asked back. He knew Gong Ying's feelings for the camp: "Since the old man is so sorry for the iron, why did he assist the King of Chuang at the beginning, and why did he remind me today?"

"Although I know that this is not the right way to fight for the world, I still can't help but hope that people like you can succeed." Gong Yong showed a tragic look: "The Duke of the State knew that I had resigned from the official given by Chongzhen. Later, when Chongzhen recruited me as the governor of Henan, he refused to give in. I was an official in Henan, so there was no need to say more about the government gatherings he saw; the refugees were bombarded, and the situation was even more tragic when the officers and soldiers from all over came to encircle and suppress the enemy. The Ming army actually boiled oil from the people of Henan and called it two-legged sheep oil. The sufferingers cried for a while. The officers and soldiers clapped and praised him..." Gong Yong said as he lamented: "After I passed the Jinshi, I was originally determined to repay the emperor's kindness and rest in peace with the people. Look,

When the yamen was inscribed with the sixteen words "Your salary and salary, the people's wealth, the people's ointment, the people's subordinates are easy to abuse, and the people's superiors are difficult to deceive." When I was so alert, I was afraid that my character would cause disaster to the court and myself. But now I think about it, wasn't the one with the sixteen words the most? Isn't it Emperor Chongzhen? So although the emperor is soft-hearted, I really don't want to serve those kings who are as hard as stone. As for the Tartars, there is no need to mention the Tartars. If I could serve the Tartars, why did I resign from Emperor Chongzhen's official position? Now the emperor is gone. I think that if the Duke succeeds, then the people's lives might be better, at least the Duke will not be able to put his heart down."

Deng Ming didn't know how to answer Gong Yong, but the other party continued: "I think the Duke of the Kingdom is indeed a bit like the first lord. Now he has already occupied half of Sichuan and Jingzhou, one Hanzhong is missing but one Xiangyang is added. After obtaining northern Sichuan, it is almost the same as the Shu Han during the period of the Quanshengshi. However, the Duke of the Kingdom should know that even if the first lord claims to be the style of Taizu and the weapon of heroes, he has committed such a treacherous attack on Liu Zhang. The Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the

"I understand what Mr. Gong means and will not be bound by the sub-sections at critical moments." Deng Ming smiled slightly when he heard this.

"That's good, alas, that's not good either." Gong Yong sighed contradictoryly: "I am afraid that the Duke of the State will not let go of these concerns at the critical moment and cannot make up his mind, so that the Duke of the State may be wasted all his efforts; but if the Duke of the State becomes like the Tartars and the civil and military of the Ming Dynasty, it will still be a disaster for the people." But soon Gong Yong was freed from this emotion, his eyes became more vivid again, and his eyes looked at Deng Ming with bright eyes: "Now there is a place where the Duke of the State needs to change his power!"

"What's up?"

"The Duke of the State is not the emperor, right?"

"Of course not, why did the old man ask again?"

"Forget it, I also think that the Duke of the State is not, but I hope that the Duke of the State will not deny this to the generals of Kuidong." Gong Yan expressed his request.

"This is not good, my fellow comrades should be open and honest." Since learning about Gong Yan's guess about his identity, Deng Ming has been thinking about finding an opportunity to explain it to Yuan Zongdi and the others.

"Otherwise! Now it's inappropriate. If the Duke of the Kingdom is not the emperor, many people in Kuidong will not be at ease when taking the Duke of the Kingdom and will be suspicious. If they mistakenly think that the Duke of the Kingdom is the emperor, then many things will be easy to do." Gong Yong had already made up his mind to promote the Kuidong generals that Deng Ming is the true after Li Zicheng. He said that when the rebel army withdrew from Xi'an, Li Zicheng entrusted female professor Deng Taimiao to take care of his young son-

—This young son is from Li Zicheng and a palace girl from the Qin Palace. Later, Deng Taimiao was taken away by Fan Wencheng, and it seemed that she had fallen into the hands of Duoduo. Anyway, Gong Yong planned to "recalling" that there was indeed such a palace maid from the Qin Palace, and even recognized Deng Ming's token: "After the country is fair and the world is settled, the Duke of the State will go to Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and the little tiger kowtow to apologize, and I will not stop you. But now, the Duke of the State is willing to temporarily make acquiesce to expel the Tartars?"

Gong Yong said that he would not cause trouble all the city, but only let the generals of Kuidong know what they thought, and would ask them to help keep it confidential so as not to make trouble in Yongli, King Jin, Fujian and Zhejiang.

Seeing that Deng Ming refused to agree, Gong Yan shouted angrily: "When the world is pacified, I will accompany the Duke to kowtow to them and admit their mistakes."

"I dare not, I dare not." Deng Ming said quickly.

"Did the Duke agree?"

"Well," Deng Ming nodded with difficulty: "In the future, I'll kowtow to Hushuai and the others and admit their mistakes."

"Okay, I have another thing, and I also need the power of the state to be flexible." Gong Yong was excited and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"What else?"

"Does the Wen Governor of Fengjie think that the Duke of the Kingdom is the descendant of the Tang King?"

"That's true, but I have denied it several times..."

"Then, please let the Duke of the Kingdom of China agree. I will go to Fengjie in a few days. At that time, I will say that I will recognize it too. The Duke of China must be the descendant of the King of Tang." Gong Yong said with confidence: "I am wronged by Duke of China, but this is not considered recognizing relatives, I just don't deny it."

"In order to expel the Tartars!" Seeing that Deng Ming was stunned again, Gong Yong raised his voice and shouted again.

"Okay, I'll go back and kowtow to Supervisor Wen and admit my mistake."

"Okay." Gong Yong stroked his beard with satisfaction, looking happy: "If the emperor could have been like the Duke of the State back then... Alas, I won't mention it anymore. I have another unhappy request, hoping that the State for power will be imminently."

"And!" Deng Ming screamed in shock.

"That's right, I heard that some people mistakenly think that the Duke of the State is the third prince. For example, there are many similar rumors in Shaanxi, and the captive court even issued a special edict..."

"Do you want to expel the Tartars again?" Deng Ming interrupted Gong Yong before he could finish his sentence: "How many fathers do you want to recognize for me?"

"It's not that you recognize the master and return to the clan, but you just don't deny it. But the Duke said it very well, this is precisely for the great cause of expelling the Tartars."

"Okay." Deng Ming felt that he had agreed to two things anyway, and he didn't owe much more of them.

"The Duke of the Kingdom is indeed humbly accepting advice, and he will definitely become a hero in the future," Gong Yan praised with a smile, as if he was stuffing a candy into the mouth of an obedient child: "I also heard that someone in Huguang mistakenly thinks that the Duke of the Kingdom is the descendant of the King of Fu. Although the King of Fu is not very famous, he does not really recognize his relatives anyway..."

"Just don't deny it?" Deng Ming asked in a slightly sarcastic tone.

"The Duke of the State is of great opinion." Gong Yong put another candy in his hand: "It will not be a problem to expel the Tartars in the future and restore the Central Plains."

"What's next?" Deng Ming was amused and crying, but Gong Yong was an old man in his seventies. Even if he was a little bit reliant on his seniority and dealt with himself with the same attitude as a child, Deng Ming couldn't be angry: "Is it time for King Shu? It's quite popular in Sichuan."

"There is still this?" Gong Yan shouted in surprise: "I haven't heard of this yet. Duke should tell me in detail."

Deng Ming was silent for a moment, spoke slowly, and said regretfully: "It turns out that there is no way to be good or bad, but only people call it themselves."

"The Duke of the Kingdom is such a bad word!" Gong Yan laughed cheerfully: "I don't know now because I have been in western Sichuan for a short time and I am busy dealing with Meng Zhengfa's child. I won't mention it today. Can I still not know for the rest of my life?"
