The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 36 Add fuel to the fire
"Your Majesty."

As soon as Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance came to the big tent, they found Li Zicheng's face very scary, and they were shocked.

"Two prime ministers, let's take a look at this first!"

Li Zicheng pointed to the two things on the desk, his tone was a bit cold, and there was a faint evil spirit on his face.

The two hurriedly looked, and saw that there was a bright yellow imperial decree and an open letter on it.

The two were surprised.

One person picked up one, and was about to read it when Li Zicheng's tone that seemed to choose someone to eat came again.

"This is just now when the guards were patrolling near the camp, they caught a spy and found it from him. What do the two prime ministers think about this matter?"

At this time, the two had quickly read the imperial decree and the content of the letter, and their hearts were shocked.

This imperial decree turned out to be the imperial edict that the little emperor canonized Li Yan as the Duke of the State, and the contents of the letter were even more frightening.

It is said that Wu Sangui's army has arrived, the time is ripe, they can act according to the strict plan, there is no need to delay, and they can start at noon tomorrow.

As for what plan, the above did not elaborate.

Both of them are old foxes, so with such a crude plan of divorce, they immediately figured out that it was the little emperor who was sowing discord.

But when King Chuang looked over with questioning and stern eyes, the two secretly glanced at each other, and immediately gritted their teeth.

"Okay! I didn't expect that Li Yan was a traitor who betrayed his master and wanted glory. He really knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart!"

"It's no wonder that he had to delay the negotiations several times in the city. It turned out that he had colluded with the little emperor long ago, deliberately delaying time, waiting for Wu Sangui's reinforcements to arrive, so that we can cooperate internally and externally!"

"Your Majesty, it's a good thing that you caught the spy today, otherwise you will be caught off guard tomorrow, and it will be really dangerous!"

"Two prime ministers, in this way, do you also think that Li Yan really betrayed Gu, took refuge in the little emperor, and wanted to put Gu to death?"

Originally, Li Zicheng was just a little skeptical, so the two of them called in to discuss the details.Now hearing what the two of them said, their tone became more and more low, and the gloom on their faces became heavier.

"My lord, his husband and wife have high self-esteem, and they are incompatible with my rebel army, and Li Yan still has a little illusion about Zhu Ming. Now that the little emperor has won over with the title of Duke, can An not be tempted?"

"That's right. When our army was in such a state of turmoil, he might not have changed his mind. But now that our army has been unable to attack for a long time, morale is low, and food and grass are running low. It's not surprising that he wants to find another way out."

"Hmph! I said why he disturbed our army's morale as soon as he came, and he took the initiative to suggest peace to the king. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid he already has the idea of ​​betraying the master and seeking glory in his heart."

The two of you said something to each other, and they actually added fuel to the fire again. They looked even more angry than King Chuang.

Sure enough, the veins on King Chuang's forehead were bulging, his fists were creaking, and when he heard the sound behind him, he kicked the case to pieces.

"I'm mad at me too!"

"My old Li thinks he treats them well, and even plans to marry them to Jinlan...Ah! How dare you bully me like this?"

In the end, his chest heaved violently, which shows the extent of his anger.

"My lord, Li Junshi has arrived."

"Bring it in!"

At this time, the sound of the guard's report came from outside the door, and Li Zijian shouted loudly, his eyes widened.

"Your Majesty, the two prime ministers, what...what happened?"

As soon as Li Yan came in, he found the broken case, Li Zicheng who was extremely angry, and the imperial decree and letter held by Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, and asked suspiciously.

"Show him the letter and imperial decree!"

Li Zicheng stared at Li Yan and roared.

Li Yan was taken aback, looked at Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance who were sneering, and accepted the letter and imperial decree with some doubts.

With just one glance, his complexion changed drastically, and cold sweat dripped down his face, and he understood what was going on.

"Li Yan, what else can you say?"

"My lord, this is the little emperor's trick to divorce me. Don't fall for it. I am loyal to my lord. How could I do such a thing like betraying my master for glory?"

Li Yan fell to his knees with a plop, and hurriedly explained.

"Humph! Still want to make excuses?"

"Divorce? Is it true that my old Li is a three-year-old child?"

"Come here, bring Xi Zuo in."

At this moment, Li Zicheng had already been dazzled by anger, so he couldn't listen to his defense, so he yelled out the door.

Immediately, two guards escorted a tall man with five flowers, a tied nose, and a bruised face, and walked in.

"Your Majesty!"

"Evil thief, if you want to kill or cut, you have to obey the rules. I frowned, and I am your grandson!"

Sesaku was forced to kneel on the ground, still shouting and cursing loudly.

This scene undoubtedly made Li Zicheng even more furious.

"Seeing that you are also a man, if you do it honestly, Gu can give you a good time, otherwise Gu will make your life worse than death!"

"Bah, don't be complacent about trespassers, your death is not far away, haha! Mr. Li, the villain will take a step first, and His Majesty will avenge us..."

There was no fear on Xizuo's face, and while he was approaching, he spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on Li Zicheng's face, then with a sudden effort, he broke free from the two hands that were pressing on his shoulders, and slammed into Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng was spit on his face with a mouthful of thick phlegm. He lost his mind for a moment, but he didn't avoid it. He was bumped into his face hard. He yelled and fell on his back.

"Your Majesty..."

Everyone was shocked, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance rushed up to help Chuang Wang up, and the two guards also captured again meticulously and beat him fiercely.

When the guards outside heard the commotion inside, they all rushed in with a clatter.

"Ah! Pull it out for me, and chop it into a meat paste... Hurry up, chop up this piece of shit for me!"

Li Zicheng's nose collapsed after being hit, and blood mixed with thick phlegm flowed into his mouth. He screamed in pain and roared in anger.

"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear the king's order?"

"Hurry up and drag this secret agent and his accomplice Li Yan out to chop up the body."

Song Xiance rolled his eyes and immediately shouted at the guard.

The guards were a little hesitant. It can be seen that the king did not refute, so they had to pull Li Yan out.

"My lord, this is the trick of the little emperor!"

"If the minister really colluded with the little emperor, it was already discussed when he was in the city, so how could he specially send a spy to come and be caught..."

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you, and the sun and the moon can learn from you..."

Li Yan yelled anxiously, but at this time Li Zicheng was hit dizzy, grinning in pain, and couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

It wasn't until Li Yan's shouting stopped abruptly, and there was a sound of chopping meat outside the tent, that Li Zicheng woke up a lot.

After being helped up by the two, they realized that Li Yan was no longer in the tent, and immediately shouted: "Wait..."

Unfortunately it was too late.

The guards had already walked in holding the heads of Li Yan and Xi Zuo.

"Your Majesty, the traitor Li Yan is dead, but the red lady is still there. Your Majesty can order someone to summon her to rectify the law on the spot, and then reduce her party members. If it is too late, there may be chaos!"

Niu Jinxing looked at Li Yan's head, feeling relieved, and suggested to Chuang Wang, who was a little uncertain.

At this moment, Li Zicheng had completely calmed down. Looking at Li Yan's head, recalling all the past, he also felt that he might have really wronged him.

But it was done, and he didn't say much, but nodded, and said to the captain of the personal guard: "You go to the northern camp immediately, and the leader of the red army came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and said that there is something important to discuss, don't show your feet ,do you know?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The captain of the personal guard, Liu Shan, clasped his fists together and stepped out of the tent.
