If you want to ask Li Yan how he is feeling at the moment, then it should be very appropriate to use the word "entangled" to describe it, and if you want to describe it in four words, it is "very tangled".

Does Li Yan want to be an official?

This answer is obvious, of course I want to, but because he offended the local county order and the local rich gentry before, the road to the official career has been cut off, which is why he was born as a son of an official eunuch and easily accepted Li Zicheng's recruitment.

Of course, there are factors of disappointment in the Ming court, but the most important thing is that he has learned better than most of the officials in the court today, but because he wants to stand up for the people and offend the county orders and gentry, he has not come out in his life, and those incompetent people who can only scavenge the people's fat and ointment steal high positions.

Li Yan is not convinced, he wants to pull down all those corrupt officials and gentry who are greedy for money, and he wants to let everyone in the world know that he can also do something vigorous.

But sometimes things don't depend on his will, and Li Zicheng, who has only been in the limelight for a few days, was chased like a dog by Jiang Ningjun, and he himself became a prisoner. originally thought that it would be impossible to escape death, but now the other party ran out of an olive branch and asked if he was interested in becoming an official, such ups and downs made Li Yanzhi feel unbearable.

The entanglement on Li Yan's face was so obvious, even Cao Yingmao beside him noticed it, if there were only the two of them here now, Li Yan would inevitably be ridiculed, but now, with the courage of the three of him, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Yang Feng, so he could only endure the disdain in his heart and silently count the rubble on the roof with his eyes turned to the sky.

"How about it, the famous Li Gongzi also has times when he is in trouble?" Yang Feng looked at Li Yan, whose face was uncertain, and asked slowly.

Li Yan shook his head: "The good intentions of the Duke of Xinguo are understood, although Li Mouren does not dare to compare himself with the ancients, at least he also knows that loyal ministers are not two masters, since he has already taken refuge in King Chuang, how can he vote for others!" ”

"...... you" Seeing Li Yan's refusal, Cao Yingmao's eyes immediately widened, his own grandfather was already so polite and virtuous, and this guy was still so ignorant.

"Hah...... Hahaha......"

Yang Feng leaned back and smiled backwards, knocked on the table with his right hand incomprehensibly, and slammed the teacup on the table.

After a long time, he held back his laughter, and couldn't help but say: "Li Yan, Li Yan, I originally thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be a brainless person." ”

"Let me ask you, your ancestors and the people in your family have a lot of officials, although they are not too famous, but it should be no problem to say that you are the son of an official eunuch, right?"

"Hmm!" Li Yan couldn't deny this, so he could only nod silently.

Yang Feng said again: "Also, Li Zicheng is just a mud leg born as a post soldier, but he relied on the fact that the imperial court has no silver in the treasury in recent years, and then had to return to his hometown after the post boy was abolished, but he found that his wife had committed adultery with someone and killed people in anger, and finally had to die in the world, and finally became a rogue, such a person also accompanies you as your master?" ”

Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Grandpa Guo, please forgive me for not agreeing." As the so-called hero does not ask about his background, isn't Emperor Taizu of this dynasty also a beggar, he was a monk to eat, and in the end he didn't lay a great foundation and set a foundation for hundreds of years in the Ming Dynasty, compared to Taizu, King Chuang's origin is nothing, right? ”

"Li Zicheng, just because he is also worthy of being compared with Taizu?"

Yang Feng smiled contemptuously.

"Not to mention, it's what he has done since he started the army, do you dare to pat your chest and say that he is a master? He's just a thief who only runs around the nest by luck. There is the ferocity of thieves, but I haven't learned the atmosphere of Taizu even if I am a little successful, and I will start to be jealous of the ability to suppress dissidents, if such a person can achieve great things, I Yang Feng dare to pull out my eyeballs and step on you as a bubble. ”

Li Yan was silent, he was a proud man and disdained to lie.

Yang Feng's words are not wrong, Li Zicheng is such a person, and he can't change the way of thieves in his bones. originally promised to take the military seriously and restrain his subordinates from plundering the people, but in fact, Li Zicheng basically turned a blind eye to what the people below did.

Just like Liu Zongmin killed so many innocent people and robbed so much gold and silver in Huanzhou Mansion, but Li Zicheng didn't even scold him, but because he admonished too much, Li Zicheng was annoyed, and finally left him in Huizhou Mansion to guard the city, and he went to Hangzhou with the main force.

Li Yan is such a smart person, of course, he can see that Li Zicheng is already a little tired of himself, and this time letting him stay in the Huizhou Mansion is to beat him, telling him that if he still wants to continue to mix under his hands, he has to stop.

Originally, Li Yan was also reflecting on whether what he had done these days was a bit too much, making his boss start to dislike him, whether he would apologize to Li Zicheng after a while, but now after Yang Feng opened the scar like this, he felt that the wound hurt so badly.

"Li Yan, my father is not afraid to tell you clearly, Li Zicheng and their rabbit tail can't grow, and they will be exterminated by this father in a few months at most, if you don't want to die with him, it's too late to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, that's all you say, you can do it yourself!

My father will give you a few days to think about it, if you still insist on following Li Zicheng to the dark after a few days, then your father can only cry and kill the horse! ”

After saying that, Yang Feng waved his hand, and the two family members outside the door walked in, grabbed Li Yan's arm and were about to press him down.

"Wait a minute!"

Li Yan, who was grabbed by the arm of the family, suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Yang Feng and asked, "Grandpa Guo, I have a question in my heart for a long time, and I haven't been able to figure it out." The strength of the Jiangning Army has already been seen below, and it is worthy of being the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that with the strength of the Jiangning Army, it should be easy to exterminate our rogues, why have you been so slow to move, as if you deliberately forced the rebel army into the hinterland of Jiangnan, could it be that these are all intentional by you? ”

Yang Feng just smiled and glanced at Cao Yingmao, who was standing aside, and Cao Yingmao, who couldn't help it, sneered: "Even if you are still a little self-aware, if it weren't for Grandpa Guo deliberately letting you go, you would have been able to wipe you all out when Li Zicheng was still running around in Henan Mansion a few months ago, and that would still make you run around." ”

"I see."

Li Yanchang took a breath and glanced at Yang Feng deeply, "Grandpa Guo is calculating, and he wants to clean Jiangnan but doesn't want to do it himself, so we people have become knives in your hands." After we have scourged Jiangnan all over again, Jiang Ningjun can justifiably end it in the back, not only to gain a good reputation, but also to take Jiangnan into his arms!

Gee...... Good...... What a ...... to kill someone with a knife."
