Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Separation Is Imminent
In December of the third year of Chongzhen, Wang Jiayin's enthronement ceremony officially began, and there was still no trace of Li Guo.
Wang Jiayin was very angry, he originally planned to let Li Guo be an official of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang General, but this kid was not interested. If it weren't for Li Zicheng being Li Guo's second uncle, if it weren't for Gao Yingxiang being Li Guo's uncle, if it weren't for Li Guo's strong combat effectiveness, Wang Jiayin would have killed Li Guo a long time ago. Forget it, don't be angry with this little rabbit, the big thing about your own accession to the throne is important. Li Guo's official, he won't be rewarded, not to mention the tiger general, the status of the junior colonel will not be given to him! Wang Jiayin pondered.
So, in the records, the name Li Guo was erased, so that when the Ming army later encircled and suppressed Wang Jiayin and his generals, Li Guo's name could not be found. Because his subordinates were killed by Li Guo, and Cao Wenzhao, who was angry with Li Guo, only thought that Li Guo was an insignificant person.
Now, let's take a look at Wang Jiayin.
The auspicious time has arrived, firecrackers are ringing in unison, drums are sounding, and singing salutes are singing, the text is headed by Wang Ziyong, Bai Yuzhu, and Wu is dominated by Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong.
In the voice of 'Long live my emperor, long live', Wang Jiayin was completely lost.
Wang Jiayin's mood was extremely excited, he had only rebelled for a few years, and he had already faced the south and claimed the emperor, which was really the ancestral Yu Yin. What is the reason for the rebellion, not to be the emperor, or who would dare to lose his head? This dream has come true. Now that he has ascended the throne in this small county, will he not ascend the throne in Taiyuan in the future, and will he not ascend the throne in the capital? Wang Jiayin seems to have completely forgotten about the Ming Dynasty's army, his ambitions swelled rapidly, and he even forgot his own strength.
ascending the throne brought Wang Jiayin a short-term glory, but also brought disaster to himself.
The leaders of the peasant army were also lost, for everyone became high officials.
Wang Ziyong was named the left prime minister, Bai Yuzhu was named the right prime minister, and Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong were named generals. Everyone is smiling and drinking one by one to celebrate the fulfillment of their lives.
Although Li Zicheng doesn't care about this, he is also happy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and the news of Wang Jiayin's claim to be the king has spread, can there be fewer people from all over the world? So he ate wine with the generals he was close to.
Liu Zongmin was unhappy, "Brother Li, our official seal is a little smaller." ”
Yuan Zongdi followed.
Li Zicheng smiled, "Jiexuan, Hanju, let's not be dissatisfied, the current situation is much better than when we were living a hard life." Besides, in the future, we will make more contributions, and we are still worried that we will not be able to do it. ”
Tian Jianxiu was silent for a long time, but at this time he said something inappropriate: "I always feel that like Wang Jiayin, the king of Qin, I am not worried about the people, and it is not a way to wander around." In fact, many of Lee's methods are good. ”
"Brother Tian, don't talk nonsense, it's not good for people to hear. Li Guo always says something inexplicable, everyone doesn't have to pay attention to him! Li Zicheng interrupted Tian Jianxiu's words and thought of Li Guo, who made him worried.
At this time, Li Guo was stationed in the mountainous area in the northwest far away from Hequ City, and he sent someone to tell Wang Jiayin that he was humble and willing to defend the northwest of Hequ City.
How can Wang Jiayin have time to pay attention to him at this moment, after ascending the throne, Wang Jiayin was drunk and was walking to the queen's bedroom, that is, the backyard of the county government. The queen is a woman surnamed Wang, who was plundered by Wang Jiayin, and her appearance is like a flower and jade, and Wang Jiayin likes it very much. At this time of celebration, of course, the emperor will also have fun with the queen, and the emperor will also enter the cave room.
And Li Guo was also very happy at this moment, because Li Guo's uncle and brother Li Twelve and his master Zhao Youbin were back, although the group was in the dust, but after Li Guo listened to their story, he knew that things were about to take a turn for the better.
Li Guo decided to join the turbulent era at the end of the Ming Dynasty in a different way.
"Brother, this is the map I took." Li Twelve took out a piece of paper from his arms, and then smiled, "Actually, although I painted it, if it wasn't for Master Zhao, I wouldn't have been able to draw it at all, and the credit belongs to Master Zhao." ”
"Although the map was drawn by me, the Twelfth Master has a keen eye, and he has a unique vision where he points out. And the Twelfth Master is brave and good at fighting, on the way back, more than a dozen of us met a hundred and ten bandits, the Twelfth Master shot the leader with an arrow, led us to rush, and only a moment of effort, the bandits were scattered. Master Zhao Youbin also praised Li Twelve.
Li Guo nodded, "Okay, okay, you are not arrogant, you don't compete with each other, this is exactly what I want, this kind of atmosphere must be carried forward in the future, and those who make meritorious contributions will be severely punished!" The crowd nodded yes.
"Come, tell me how this place is!" Li Guo was anxious to know the situation.
"Master Zhao, it's still you, you have a lot of culture." Li Twelve said.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Zhao Youbin said to the map, and Li Twelve added on the side.
Li Guo, Liu Tichun, Nie Xin, Huang Xiu, Gu Ying and others listened carefully, and gradually everyone's brows stretched.
"This place is very good, how about your respect?" Nie Xin happily took his eyes off the map and looked at Li Guo.
Li Guo smiled: "Let's talk about it first!" "What Li Guo wants to do has already been understood.
"Very well, I'm in favor!" Liu Tichun was the first to agree.
"Master, I listen to you." Huang Xiu has nothing to say.
Gu Ying didn't say anything, just nodded heavily.
Sun Dengke talked eloquently, "From the topography point of view, this terrain is a dragon with pearls, and it is a land of great luck. If it can be guarded, it is a sign of Longxing. Twelfth Master, is there water there? ”
Li 12 replied, "There is water, but the strange thing is that there is a great drought in the world, but the water there is surging and the river is endless." ”
"Good, good!" Sun Dengke clapped his hands and applauded, "If there is water here, it is the auspiciousness of the top, since ancient times, the water is a real dragon, and if there is no water, it is the image of a sleepy dragon." ”
Li Guo nodded, pointed to the map, and announced loudly, "Let's go there!" ”
Looking at the excited crowd, Li Guo whispered, "There are some things that should be done, and it is broken." ”
Late at night that day, Li Guo called to open the city gate and came to Li Zicheng's residence, he wanted to persuade Li Zicheng to follow him again, if not, then don't say goodbye.
"What? Are you leaving? Where are you going? Li Zicheng asked.
Li Guo told Li Zicheng about his thoughts and ambitions, Li Zicheng shook his head and scolded, "Idiot, what can you do with your little talent!" I won't go with you! Don't go! ”
Seeing that Li Zicheng was stubborn, Li Guo sighed, left tears, knelt down and kowtowed a few times to Li Zicheng respectfully, and said to Li Zicheng, "Second uncle, you have to take care, one day, you will ascend to the big treasure." But second uncle, you have to remember that when you encounter real danger, don't run to Jiugong Mountain in Hubei, at that time, I should also be a little famous, you come to me! ”
Li Zicheng also became excited, and said to Li Guo with red eyes, "Guo'er, you can't go, I'm afraid that you will be in danger if you break into a blind rage, you follow me, and my uncle can protect you!" I won't let you go! ”
Li Guo slowly knelt down again, kowtowed to Li Zicheng, stood up, and walked out.
