Chapter 380: The End of the Ming Dynasty

Li Yan entered the prison cell for the second time in his life, but this was not a simple prison cell in a small county like Qi County, but a prison of the Criminal Department where felons were held. This place is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for the Red Lady to rob the prison again.

Li Yan sat in the cell and remembered that before he was escorted to Beijing, the Li family crossed him out of the Li family tree. The Li family was ashamed of him. The elders of the Li family surrounded him and scolded him for three whole hours. The Li family was almost wiped out because of his actions. He, Li Yan, is a sinner of the Li clan.

Such a blow to Li Yan is huge, the ancient world family is the most important, and he, Li Yan, was not accepted by the family, after going down to the underworld, the ancestors and fathers will not recognize him as a son, right?

The cell door was opened, and the jailer walked in: "Li Yan, someone has come to see you." ”

At this time, someone will come to see him? Could it be the red lady? Is she here to send her to death? Li Yan raised his head suddenly. When you come into view, it is not the bodybuilding figure of the red lady, and the figure of the person who comes is also very familiar, but it is a man, not a woman.

"Feng Yuhou, you always speak slowly, and when you want to leave, just call me loudly. The jailer flatteringly withdrew, revealing the man's face.

Seeing the familiar face, Li Yan exclaimed, "Brother Tang?"

What did he just hear the jailer call Brother Tang? How did Brother Tang become the marquis of the imperial court?

"Li Xin. Brother Tang called Li Yan's original name, "I brought wine and food, let's drink a pot." ”

As he spoke, Brother Tang put down the food box in his hand and took out a few side dishes from it, a plate of fat chicken, a pot of wine and two wine glasses. He poured himself and Li Yan a glass of wine.

Li Yan looked at Brother Tang with a complicated expression, they were rich sons from the same county and students of the same academy, they had been compared by others, and he thought that he was crushing Big Brother Tang everywhere. But now, they are an anti-thief leader who is about to be beheaded, and the other is a noble marquis. This contrast really makes him feel ironic.

"Please. Brother Tang made a gesture of invitation to Li Yan and picked up the wine glass in front of him.

Li Yan slowly stretched out his hand and picked up his own wine glass: "It's rare that you will come to see me." ”

"After all, it's a friend. Brother Tang said lightly, "You can be unkind to me, but I can't be unjust to you." ”

Li Yan felt that this was a little unpleasant: "Brother Tang, when have I been unkind to you?"

Brother Tang sneered: "You hooked up with that red lady, dragged down my Tang family, and caused my Tang family to be almost beheaded, because it was unkind and unjust." ”

Li Yan defended: "But the red lady attacked the county government and rescued your family." Speaking of which, the red lady also has a life-saving grace for the Tang family. ”

Brother Tang glanced at Li Yan hehehe: "Our Tang family was not saved by that female bandit." Did you get out of our cell and see that there was someone in our cell? We have our own way of escaping, and we don't need to be rescued by a female bandit who is bent on stealing a man from my sister. ”

Li Yan couldn't help but feel guilty when he heard Brother Tang mention his ex-wife: "Brother Tang, I once went to look for the body of the fish lady, but I never found it, it should have been restrained by you, right?"

"My sister doesn't need your attention. When Brother Tang heard Li Yan talk about his sister, he didn't get angry, "If you really have a heart for my sister, how can you collude with the female bandits?" Li Yan, you deserve to end up today, and you brought it on yourself. Coveting women, lustful and lustful, how come I didn't discover your essence before? Otherwise, I would never have married my sister to you. ”

"I'm not. Li Yan wanted to defend himself, but he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak. What did he say? Say that he didn't have a relationship with the Red Lady? Say that he didn't help the Red Lady attack the county town and rebel against the imperial court?

"Hey-" Brother Tang sighed, "It's been so long, I won't blame you anymore, not to mention, you also paid the price for your choice." This time, I'm here to see you off. If you eat a good meal, you can be a full ghost on Huangquan Road. ”

“…… Thanks a lot. Li Yan understands that Brother Tang can come to see him, which is already a very righteous performance, don't you see the Li family avoiding him like a plague?

The two of them drank all the wine in the pot with a glass of me. Brother Tang didn't say anything in the end, and left directly. Li Yan broke off a chicken leg and gnawed it slowly. How long has it been since I've eaten such delicious chicken legs? He couldn't remember.

Three days later, Li Zicheng and Li Yan and their party were pushed to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded. Li Yan knelt on the ground, and the executioner stood behind him. Suddenly, there was chaos in the crowd of onlookers, and then a woman in red rushed out with a knife and rushed towards Li Yan.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "I've robbed the Dharma Field!"

A cold shout sounded: "Release the arrow!"

Dozens of arrows shot towards the woman in red, and the woman in red dodged one or two, but couldn't dodge more than a dozen or dozens of arrows, and was finally shot into a hedgehog by the arrows and fell five meters in front of Li Yan.

"Red Lady......" Li Yan looked at the red lady without looking at him, his eyes were still facing his red lady, and tears flowed out. Although he regretted and complained about the Red Lady, he knew that the Red Lady was the person who loved him and treated him best in the world. Until the moment when the red lady's life ended, there was only one him in her heart.

"You are waiting on Huangquan Road, I have come to look for you. Li Yan said the last sentence in the world.

The knife fell, and the head fell to the ground.

On the roof on the side, Lin Baiyu turned around and left after seeing Li Yan dead. She felt that the resentment belonging to the original owner in her body had completely disappeared, her body was extremely relaxed, and her realm had improved, so she had to quickly find a quiet place to retreat and stabilize her realm.

After explaining to the Tang family, Lin Baiyu began to retreat, and naturally she didn't know about the disturbances outside.

Chongzhen made a move on the Donglin party. The Donglin Party was first stubborn, believing that without them, the imperial court would be paralyzed, so Chongzhen quickly replaced them with the talents he had recruited. Although those talents are not as good as they are in writing and not as beautiful as they are in poetry, these people completely kill them in a certain talent. Far from being paralyzed by their strikes, the government was more efficient than they were at the time, and the decrees were orderly and orderly, and those who replaced them did their jobs even more than they could. At this moment, the Donglin Party couldn't sit still and wanted to return to the court. However, is the court a place where they can go and come whenever they want? There is no place for them to stay here.

The Donglin Party was angry, okay, you are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust. Relying on the unspoken rule that the emperor does not kill the scholars, the Donglin Party opened fire on Chongzhen. What is the most powerful thing about the literati? is their pen. I think that at the beginning, Cao Huachun, Chongzhen's most trusted eunuch and Wang Chengen's master, this eunuch with a loyal personality and a good friendship with the Donglin Party, was not written by them as a traitorous traitor? Hmph, what about the emperor? They can still use their pens to splash dirty water on him, so that the emperor knows that they cannot be offended.

It's a pity that the Donglin Party expected Chongzhen wrong. Chongzhen was determined to destroy the Donglin Party this time. The scholars can't kill them, right, then I'll be exiled, and I gave them a glossy "name": indoctrination of barbarians. The demon's indoctrination of barbarians. Those barbarians are not under the control of your Ming Dynasty, and you want to bother to educate them?

It's a pity, no matter how much the Donglin Party protests, Chongzhen is unmoved, and Jinyiwei stepped out and forcibly threw these people out of the gate. In order to survive, these soft bones turned their heads and took refuge in Manchuren. This can make Huang Taiji happy, reuse these Donglin Party people, and keep telling Da Yu'er how stupid Emperor Chongzhen is, and he actually gave him so many talents for nothing.

Chongzhen sneered: Who is stupid? It's just some empty talkers, the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty treats them as treasures, and there are times when the Manchu emperor cries.

The emperors of the Manchus did not cry. They don't have the unspoken rule that the emperor of the Central Plains does not kill the scholars, these Donglin party members upset the Manchu emperor, and the emperor clicked them directly. He finally understood Emperor Chongzhen. These Donglin Party members are not talented at all, they are simply fools who corrupt the dynasty. The emperor of the Central Plains endured them for so long. Hey, my endurance and patience are not as good as the Emperor of the Central Plains!

Lin Baiyu finally stabilized her realm and went out, Chongzhen should have arranged eyeliner in the Tang family, and immediately recruited her into the palace.

"Sir, this retreat is quite long. ”

Lin Baiyu smiled slightly: "The grass people cultivate the Tao, and when they reach a certain level of cultivation, this retreat is a common thing, and please take care of it more Your Majesty." ”

Chongzhen was not dissatisfied when he heard this, and it should be said that he was secretly very satisfied. It is best for such a powerful person to be able to devote himself to cultivating the Tao, and he does not have to make the decision of "the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks".

The two had just started chatting, when there was a sound of talking outside the door, and then a delicate voice thought outside: "Father, my daughter has brought you pastries, can you come in?"

Chongzhen glanced at Lin Baiyu and said, "It's my youngest daughter Changping, a very filial child." ”

After speaking, he raised his voice: "Come in." ”

The study door opened, and a beautiful young girl walked in. Lin Baiyu looked at this legendary princess of Changping in history, and saw that her appearance was pretty, her skin was brighter than snow, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water; her temperament was pure and noble, and she was youthful and lively, which made people feel good at first sight. No wonder Chongzhen loves this daughter the most.

"Father. Princess Yingying of Changping saluted Chongzhen, and looked at Lin Baiyu with curiosity.

Chongzhen did not elaborate on Lin Baiyu's identity, but only said to Princess Changping: "This is Mr. Tang." ”

The rest is nothing to say.

Princess Changping couldn't help it, so she had to shout: "Mr. Tang." ”

Lin Baiyu arched her hand: "I've seen the princess." ”

didn't kowtow when she saw the princess like everyone else, which made this somewhat innocent princess curious about Lin Baiyu.
