Chapter 4 The First Pilgrimage

When Wu Fan heard Li Jiantai's words, he jumped up from the dragon bed excitedly, came to Li Jiantai's side in a few steps and asked, "What did you say?" Li Zicheng recruits? It was done, it was done"

Before Li Jiantai could reply, Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side, knelt on the ground with a puff, and kowtowed to Wu Fan again and again: "Your Majesty, please immediately treat Li Jiantai for the crime of bullying the king. ”

Li Jiantai raised his head, looked directly into Wu Fan's eyes and said: "Your Majesty, how dare the ministers dare to fabricate such absurd news, Li Chuang did send someone to contact the ministers, declaring that he wanted to accept the court's recruitment, Li Zicheng's envoy has been taken by the ministers outside Yanjing City at this time, how to deal with it, and ask the emperor to show me." ”

Wu Fan didn't even think about it, and blurted out without even thinking about it: "Of course, bring Li Zicheng's envoy to see me immediately, see you immediately." ”

Wang Chengen knocked on the ground with his head again and again, "Your Majesty, you must not, you must not, you must not be rebellious, you have always been scheming, and you have pretended to surrender in desperation several times, and after accumulating strength, you rebelled again." Although the old minister can't imagine what conspiracy he is playing this time, the old minister can be sure that the rebellion will never really accept Zhao'an, and the most likely thing is that he wants to use Zhao'an to open the gate of the capital by fraud, so even if what Lord Li said is true, the emperor must not believe the words of the rebellion. ”

Wang Chengen knocked the bluestone floor with a bang, Wu Fan couldn't bear to hear it, came to Wang Chengen's side and stretched out his hand to pull his head off the ground, looking at Wang Chengen's red and swollen forehead, Wu Fan almost took out his mobile phone for Wang Chengen to see, the current Li Zicheng is no longer the Li Zicheng who is bent on establishing a new dynasty, but like Song Jiang in the Water Margin, he is bent on accepting Zhao'an in order to wash off the rebellious label on his body.

Wu Fan didn't dare to take out his mobile phone in the end, but said to Wang Chengen: "Chengen, I know that you are extremely loyal to me, ah what about that, you see, Li Zicheng is strong at this time, there is no reason to play such a play, maybe it is indeed sincere, maybe it is sincere, maybe." ”

Wang Chengen's tears were about to flow out, and he stared at Li Jiantai and said: "Lord Li, as the commander of the Baoding Mansion, you should tell me, will you believe in the rebellion and surrender?" ”

Li Jiantai's face also became a little hesitant, and he hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister can't make a decision on this matter for a while. As His Majesty said, Li Chuang has a strong army at this time, and I have no strength to defeat him near the capital at this time, Li Chuang should not suddenly want to accept Zhao'an at this time, and then according to Li Chuang's surname, this time Li Chuang claims to want to accept Zhao'an, and there is a great possibility of fraud.

However, the minister once met with the envoy sent by Li Chuang, and Li Chuang's words about accepting Zhao'an did not seem to be false, at least the minister could not hear the flaw from the message brought by the envoy, so he stole back to Yanjing from the front line without being summoned by the emperor and personally stated to His Majesty. If this matter is according to the minister's analysis, what Li Chuang said is not credible, but the stakes are very high, and the minister does not dare to reject Li Chuang without authorization. ”

After listening to Li Jiantai's reply, Wu Fan couldn't help but smile secretly, and was secretly proud in his heart: "You don't believe Li Zicheng, because you don't know that Lao Tzu has a cheating device in his hand, and the current Li Zicheng is not the king who wants to be the emperor himself, but has been changed by Lao Tzu to Song Gongming, who wants to be recruited by the court and make a wife." ”

Li Jiantai and Wang Chengen looked up at the proud Wu Fan together, and they were a little confused for a while, not knowing why the emperor was suddenly happy.

Wu Fan leaned over slightly and patted Wang Chengen's shoulder lightly twice, and said in a cheerful tone: "Chengen, Jiantai, I know that you all can't trust Li Zicheng, but I decided to take a gamble this time, and I believe this Li Zicheng once." Jiantai, you go and bring Li Zicheng's envoy in, and Chengen will secretly bring him into the palace, and I will see him in person. ”

Wang Chengen saw that Wu Fan finally chose to believe in Li Zicheng, and was immediately shocked, kowtowed again like pounding garlic to Wu Fan, and did not agree with Wu Fan to meet Li Zicheng's envoy, although Li Jiantai did not explicitly oppose Wu Fan's opinion, but seeing him kneeling in place with his head bowed and motionless, he did not agree with Wu Fan's decision.

Wu Fan was a little unhappy, let Wang Chengen kowtow there again and again, and said to Li Jiantai: "That Aiqing Li, you keep saying that you don't dare to call the shots without permission, and you came to ask me to call the shots, and now I have decided to meet Li Zicheng's envoy, but you stay here and don't carry out my orders, what kind of trouble do you want to make?" ”

Although Li Jiantai didn't understand the modern language spoken by Wu Fan, he still understood the general meaning, and immediately kowtowed and replied: "Long live, if it is not for the minister's courage not to carry out the holy ruling, it is really that the minister really can't trust Li Chuang." The minister returned to Yanjing privately, in fact, he wanted to authorize the minister to secretly contact Li Chuang, and the minister was going to contact Li Chuang a few times, and after he had worn off his vigilance, he would take a few dead soldiers, even if he fought for Weichen's life, he would also get rid of Li Chuang's tumor for my Ming Dynasty. ”

Li Jiantai's words made Wu Fan stunned, Li Jiantai, who should belong to the surrender generation in Wu Fan's heart, actually had the courage to die with the enemy, which made Wu Fan a little unable to change his mentality for a while.

Glancing at Li Jiantai in a daze, Wu Fan turned around and sat down in front of his dragon book case, took out his personal mobile phone under the cover of the desktop, and called up Li Jiantai's information. It turns out that Li Jiantai is not so unbearable as Wu Fan imagined, after the defeat of Bao-Dingfu, Li Jiantai was ready to kill himself, but was captured by Li Zicheng's general Liu Fangliang, Li Jiantai surrendered Li Zicheng on the surface, but has always been to the Ming Dynasty, and even in the six years of Shunzhi after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he also raised troops against the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately there was no way, and finally Li Jiantai was defeated and captured, and went to righteousness, and later generations praised Li Jiantai for his style and generosity.

After reading Li Jiantai's life deeds, Wu Fan was slightly moved, but he didn't expect that the "Eunuch Li" he had always despised from the bottom of his heart was still a hot-blooded good man, and it seemed that he really couldn't be called Eunuch Li in the future.

Putting away the mobile phone, Wu Fan walked out from behind the dragon book case, paced in front of Li Jiantai, stretched out his hands to pick Li Jiantai up from the ground, and solemnly said to Li Jiantai: "Li Aiqing, I understand what you mean, but your idea is a little inappropriate, I am reluctant to exchange my ministers for the surname of Caokou, you should dispel this ridiculous idea." ”

Wu Fan's nondescript words learned from the TV series, hearing Li Jiantai's ears, made the eyes of this tough guy who was ready to die with Li Zicheng red. Li Jiantai's reaction also made Wu Fan feel a little complacent, it is good to be an emperor, just two sentences can move a scholar to the point of tears.

Letting go of Li Jiantai's hand, Wu Fan turned around and pulled Wang Chengen up from the ground, and gently patted Wang Chengen twice on his back. Wang Chengen originally thought that Wu Fan was angry, so he kept silent and watched Wu Fan return to the Dragon Book case, but now he saw that Wu Fan was not angry, so he began to chatter and persuade Wu Fan not to trust Li Zicheng.

Wu Fan stared at Wang Chengen with interest for a while, and then said slowly: "You all say that Li Zicheng can't be trusted, so what can you do to solve the danger of Li Zicheng's army at this time?" Do you want me to wait in the capital like this for Li Zicheng to break through the capital and sit back and wait for death? ”

Wu Fan's words were a bit heavy, and Li Jiantai and Wang Chengen were so frightened that they fell to the ground again, and they didn't dare to reply for a long time, but just knelt quietly. After waiting for a long time, Li Jiantai raised his head again and said to Wu Fan in a deep voice: "Long live, although the minister still doesn't believe that Li Chuang really has the heart to accept Zhao'an, but the minister is too stupid and dull, but he can't understand the mystery of Li Chuang's plan. The matter has come to this point, long live why not convene a hundred civil and military officials to discuss the matter, and the ministers believe that there must be someone among the ministers of the Ming Dynasty who can see through Li Chuang's tricks. ”

Convene a hundred officials? Li Jiantai's proposal made Wu Fan's heart beat violently, the sun was above, sitting on the Jinluan Hall to accept the visit of hundreds of officials, what a majestic situation, as long as he thought about it, it made Wu Fan yearn for it.

Wu Fan slapped his hands hard, and his eyes brightened and shouted: "Okay!" According to what Li Aiqing said, Wang Chengen, you should hurry up and issue an order to convene a hundred civil and military officials now, I have long wanted to see what the last dynasty was" Speaking of this, Wu Fan suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly swallowed back half of the sentence.

Fortunately, Wang Chengen was already a little accustomed to the scene where Wu Fan often said some half-sentences, and he didn't delve into it, but just kowtowed his head on the ground, stood up and ordered the eunuch to pass on the decree, and summoned hundreds of officials to the Zhongji Hall to discuss the matter.

Wu Fan didn't expect that an emperor would need to make so many preparations in the court, and Wu Fan was shocked just by wearing clothes, four or five little eunuchs were busy around Wu Fan for a long time, with three layers inside and out, and every piece of clothing was actually he-mother's without buttons, all with straps and wood? Fortunately, someone served, otherwise Wu Fan might not even be able to wear clothes.

Originally, Wu Fan thought that since Li Jiantai had already entered the palace, it would be good to follow him to the main hall for a while, but he didn't expect Li Jiantai to say goodbye to Wu Fan in a hurry, and actually had to go home to change into court clothes, which made Wu Fan roll his eyes for a while, what kind of rules is this, it's troublesome.

When Wu Fan was all cleaned up, naturally a little eunuch led Wu Fan towards the Zhongji Palace. Although Wu Fan had been to the Forbidden City, but at that time he bought a ticket to come in when he was traveling, there were people everywhere, and he couldn't see what the Forbidden City had at all.

The little eunuch led Wu Fan to an elegant small room, and after inviting Wu Fan to take a seat, he brought Wu Fan four plates of snacks and a cup of tea, and then quietly withdrew. Wu Fan estimated that he would not show up until the civil and military officials came over, so while suppressing his excitement, he tasted the snacks of the Ming Dynasty, but his constantly shaking legs exposed his inner eagerness
