"Brother Li, don't come unharmed? Is it still comfortable to stay here? What grievances have you suffered? Xiao Tianjian slowly walked into the cell with his hands behind his back, and looked at Li Zicheng, who was sitting on the stool and did not get up.

"Bold fanatics, why don't you kneel when you see the Holy One?" A guard shouted at Li Zicheng.

"That's it! This is the old man! Don't pay so much attention to it! Xiao Tianjian waved his hand to shut up the guards and retreat aside, and soon someone moved a big chair and placed it opposite Li Zicheng.

Xiao Tianjian shook his robe and slowly sat opposite Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng looked at Xiao Tianjian with a sneer, and always felt that Xiao Tianjian had a villainous expression on his face at this time, and couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and sneered: "Holy Lord? I am also the emperor, why do I kneel to him? ”

"Bold, Li Thief, can't you find death?" When a guard heard that Li Zicheng was so rebellious, he immediately wanted to go up and repair him.

But the guard's action was still stopped by Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian looked at Li Zicheng, his mood was quite complicated, Li Zicheng was deliberately portrayed as a tragic hero by some people in later generations, but in this era, Xiao Tianjian knows very well what kind of character Li Zicheng is.

But in any case, Li Zicheng can be called a hero, this cannot be denied, and this person's temperament is stoic, this is also a fact, if there is no accident for him to travel to this era, this person should still be mixed up now, in two years, he will lead the troops to Beijing City, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed, but now it is ......

Xiao Tianjian didn't know very well, what he wanted to do when he came here today, but as a peer and opponent, he always felt that he killed Li Zicheng so quietly, a little unreasonable, he came to this era to rob him of Li Zicheng's fruit, and now Li Zicheng has become his subordinate, so Xiao Tianjian decided to send Li Zicheng after thinking twice.

"I think you and I haven't seen each other for many years since we parted ways in Longzhou! But I didn't expect to see you again in this place today, which really made me feel a lot of emotion! Xiao Tianjian opened his mouth and said to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng glanced at Xiao Tianjian with disdain, and replied with a straight chest: "Becoming a king and defeating a king, I, Li Zicheng, have today, all thanks to you!" You're here today, just to see what a certain mess you are doing! Now that I've seen it, there's still something to talk about? If you want to kill or chop, you can do it! Hum! ”

"Huh! Brother Li's temper hasn't changed much over the years! You and I are also old friends, is it difficult to achieve something to say? Xiao Tianjian relaxed his body, sat on the chair, and smiled at Li Zicheng.

"Words? Say what? I think back then, you were just a small leader, but now you have become the emperor, what can I tell you? Li Zicheng said to Xiao Tianjian with an angry face.

Xiao Tianjian was not angry, and after leaning forward, he said to Li Zicheng: "I want to ask you, when you rebelled, I thought it was just to eat!" I'm sure you've thought about saving the people from fire and water, but since you see the general trend of the world, why don't you give up and become my enemy? ”

Li Zicheng's eyes widened and said: "Why can you sit in this world, but I, Li Hongji, can't sit down?" After all, you and I are just people, but my luck is not as good as yours! Now that you have achieved great things, naturally you can't tolerate people like me, otherwise how can you and I meet each other? ”

Xiao Tianjian shook his head, it seems that there is really no common language between him and Li Zicheng, and this kind of conversation is actually not interesting, which makes him quite disappointed, he doesn't want to come to see Li Zicheng's jokes, now there is nothing to say between the two of them, how can his ideal be understood by Li Zicheng, for Li Zicheng, what he thinks about the most is just to want to be like the emperors of all dynasties, ascending to the world and despising the masses.

So he asked Li Zicheng: "I'm afraid it's not a matter of luck, I think that whether it was you, Gao Yingxiang or even Zhang Xianzhong, etc., which one was not more famous than me Xiao Tianjian, but what about the final outcome?" The key question is do you know by now why you are a loser? ”

Li Zicheng sneered and said, "You just know how to make firearms!" If it's a real thing, how can I not be your opponent? ”

Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said, "No, no, no!" You still haven't figured it out! This is not only the reason for the sharpness of my soldiers and horses, but also the people's will! ”

"The hearts of the people? ......" Li Zicheng frowned.

"That's right! It's the hearts of the people! Although you and I both rebelled, and the original purpose was probably the same, but later, you forgot why you rebelled! You and your generals are more than pleasures! In your eyes, the common people are just consumables for you to drive! Originally, you could still have done a lot in Shaanxi, but for your own selfishness, you forgot the original intention of raising troops to rebel, and finally lost the hearts of the people!

If that weren't the case, how could I have defeated you so easily? I came to see you today, not to see your embarrassment, but to make you understand why you failed! Even if you don't have me, as long as you don't figure this out, you will still fail sooner or later, even if you don't lose to Daming, you will lose to Jiannu one day! Because you have long lost the word "people" in your heart!

At that time, you should know that in fact, with your strength, you can't confront me, but you still chose to continue to be my enemy, and would rather be at the cost of the lives of millions of people in Shaanxi, but I just want to satisfy your selfishness as the emperor, so at that time, you are already doomed to failure, you regard the people as pigs and dogs, and the people abandon you as a shoe! Xiao Tianjian then said to Li Zicheng.

After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, although he still felt unconvinced, but thinking about what he and his generals have done in Shaanxi in recent years, it is to lose the hearts of the people, and continue to expand the army, making the people angry and resentful in Shaanxi.

Li Zicheng arrived at this point, and there was nothing to argue about, so he couldn't help but sigh and nodded: "Probably what you said is right, in short, I am defeated, I am not as good as you at this point, the matter has come to this, what do you want to do with me, just do it yourself!" ”

Xiao Tianjian stood up and said to Li Zicheng: "Very good! In that case, I wonder if you have any last wishes? ”

After Li Zicheng shook slightly, he asked Xiao Tianjian: "But I don't know where my wife is now after Tian Jianxiu led someone to arrest me this time?" If she hadn't died, would you please spare her life? Also, when I die, can I bring my body back to my place of origin and be buried? ”

Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "You are asking Mrs. Gao!" As far as I know, Madame Gao committed suicide by hunger strike shortly after she was captured, and has been buried outside the Hanzhong Mansion, as for your request, I can meet it, and after you die, I will order your remains to be sent back to Mizhi for burial! ”

After hearing the news of Mrs. Gao's death, Li Zicheng fell silent for a while, although he had a lot of women in his life, but he was cuckolded by his women twice, but this Mrs. Gao followed him and followed him and helped him take care of various affairs, but now she died of hunger strike first, and died one step ahead of him, which made Li Zicheng quite sad.

"Since she is dead, I beg the Holy One to move her remains back to Mizhi and bury them with me after I die! Li knows that he is guilty, but he still hopes for the grace of God! After Li Zicheng was silent for a while, he got up and knelt down, and kowtowed to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian glanced at Li Zicheng, sighed and said, "You can say such things at this time, how can I disappoint you, and I will allow you to invite you!" ”

Ten days later, after the trial of Dali Temple, Li Zicheng was convicted of a total of ten major crimes, including the crimes of rebellion and indiscriminate killing of civilians.

However, Xiao Tianjian finally showed mercy outside the law, pardoned Li Zicheng's punishment of Ling Chi, and beheaded Li Zicheng at the entrance of the market in Nanjing at noon on the third day of June.

Hearing that Li Zicheng was going to be beheaded, there was a sensation inside and outside Nanjing, many people wanted to see what kind of character Li Zicheng was who had been in the world for more than ten years, so they went out of their homes and rushed to the market entrance area to watch the beheading, and the market entrance was crowded with water, the criminal department did not expect that so many people would come to watch the beheading, and finally had to move Li Zicheng to the south gate of the city to behead him, and finally Li Zicheng knelt down and kowtowed three heads in the direction of the imperial city in the city before being tortured, as a thank you to Xiao Tianjian for his special kindness, Didn't say a word more.

After the three soul-chasing cannons sounded, the executioner's Xueliang's broadsword fell in an instant, and a generation of heroes Li Zicheng was beheaded outside Nanjing.

Afterwards, according to Xiao Tianjian's will, the Criminal Department prepared a good coffin for Li Zicheng, collected Li Zicheng's body, and then sent someone to send his coffin to his hometown of Mizhi, Shaanxi, and chose a place to be buried, and at the same time, the body of his wife Gao was also taken out of Hanzhong Mansion and sent to Mizhi County to be buried with Li Zicheng.

So far, a generation of heroes has finally opened his glorious page, and like the Ming Dynasty, it has become a piece of history.

Xiao Tianjian later ordered the History Museum to revise the history museum separately for Li Zicheng, and recorded Li Zicheng's life in detail and included it in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
