After only one night, Li Yan asked to see, which made Zheng Xunrui a little surprised, in fact, Li Yan was loyal to Li Zicheng, this is not a bad thing, if Li Yan showed a groveling appearance when he saw himself, Zheng Xunrui would not be taken seriously, even if he had extraordinary talent, it should be used carefully.

Of course, people like Li Yan are very smart and have a chivalrous heart, but because they were born as scholars, even if they defected to Li Zicheng and became a rogue, they still have huge regrets in their hearts, otherwise they would not have studied hard to achieve fame, history is written by orthodox, at least for the moment, people like Li Yan can't get any praise.

Zheng Xunrui didn't have time to see Li Yan for the time being, he also wanted to let Li Yan sober up and think about it clearly, in fact, in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Xunrui was also struggling, in order for the people to live a stable life, he needed to compete with most of the scholars and doctors in the Ming Dynasty, and even work against the court and the emperor, and Li Yan will be able to become one of his most important helpers, and it is precisely because of this consideration that Zheng Xunrui decided to recover Li Yan.

Xiong Wencan and the people sent by Gao Qiqian have arrived in Luoyang Mansion City.

Zheng Jiajun recaptured Luoyang Mansion City, Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian are of course very happy, not to mention that the relationship between Gao Qiqian and Zheng Xunrui is still very unusual, and Zheng Xunrui's letter has revealed the meaning, this recovery of Luoyang Mansion City and defeat Li Zicheng's credit, has nothing to do with Zheng Jiajun, it is all the credit of Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian, to say that anyone who encounters such a thing is very happy, after all, Xiong Wencan is the governor of the five provinces, Gao Qiqian is the prison army, and it is their responsibility to exterminate the Liukou.

When Zheng Xunrui saw the visitor, he made this very clear, and he told the person who came that the Zheng family army had blocked all the news, including the people in Luoyang Mansion, who did not know that the Zheng family army was coming. It is generally believed that it is the army of the imperial court, as for Li Zicheng and others knowing, there is not much of a problem, Li Zicheng will never go to the capital to tell the truth.

Grain is being transported tightly. It will take more than a day at most, and it will be almost, the army led by Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian will arrive in Luoyang Mansion in more than a day, and the grasp of time is very good. Zheng Xunrui is unwilling to make Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian feel uncomfortable because of the matter of money and food, although this possibility is very small.

After dark, Li Yan was taken to the wing room again.

This time, Li Yan, who saw Zheng Xunrui, took the initiative to clasp his fists and salute, although Li Yan had been stripped of his fame and his identity as a lifter no longer existed, but he didn't think that he was an ordinary person in his heart, and he wouldn't kneel when he saw Zheng Xunrui.

Zheng Xunrui doesn't care about these forms either. This time, he didn't take the initiative to speak, he wanted to hear what Li Yan had to say.

"I thought carefully about the adult's words last night, and I really admired the adult's analysis of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others."

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly, it seems that his idea is right, the influence of Confucianism is not small, Li Yan still has a certain sense of superiority in his heart, and in a short period of time, he will not confuse himself with the rogue, after Li Yan defected to Li Zicheng. The things he did were all about transforming Li Zicheng and making Li Zicheng gradually close to the scholar class.

"I defected to Li Zicheng and did so many things for the righteous army. It's a big rebellion.,After being captured.,I didn't think about my life.,I've always thought that what I did was not wrong.,I can't think of the adult's bitter words.,Didn't reprimand it.。 Convince people with reason, in the next is sincere admiration, in the next delusion, if it is the officials of the government, they can be like adults, how can the big tomorrow be what it is today, the adults are high and powerful, they can do this, and they really didn't expect it. ”

Zheng Xunrui narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Yan, the night passed, it seems that Li Yan has thought a lot, but Li Yan's thoughts are not able to change fundamentally, thinking about joining the mainstream, and changing the bad habits in the officialdom, which still needs to be observed.

"I am indeed guilty in the next, no matter how the adults deal with it, I am convinced orally, there is only one request in the next, eight months ago, since the decision to rebel, I divorced my wife and concubine, and at the same time got a lot of care from the red lady, I can't repay it, I look forward to seeing the red lady before leaving."

Zheng Xunrui thought for a moment and did not respond positively to Li Yan's request.

"Li Yan, although you are one of the scholars, you are not willing to go along with the same stream, you can be regarded as an outlier, you have broken with this class in the face of the world's disapproval, have you ever thought of today's consequences."

"I thought about it a long time ago, and when I divorced my wife and concubine, I was afraid that they would be implicated."

"You are still affectionate and righteous, but you think too simply, since you used to be one of the scholars, have you ever thought about how your wife and concubine will face the reality in the future, well, since you have the belief that you will die, can you talk about your understanding of the current court, and how to change the many shortcomings of the imperial court."

Li Yan was stunned for a moment and let out a long sigh.

"My lord, I have thought too much about this problem, and after the rebellion, I think that only by breaking everything, breaking the kettle, and re-establishing order can we change the current evils, but the power of the scholars is too strong, even if it is to subvert everything and change the dynasty, it is also necessary to rely on scholars to govern the world, so it is too difficult and difficult to really change and let the people live a good life."

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly, Li Yan can realize this extent, it is not simple.

Standing up, Zheng Xunrui took a few steps and spoke to Li Yan.

"This official cherishes talents and gives you a chance."

When Zheng Xunrui said this, Li Yan's body trembled slightly, he wanted to restrain his emotions, but he still couldn't hold back, and his excitement was still revealed, which is human nature.

"You have chivalrous feelings, care about the suffering of the people, as a member of the scholars, dare to resist the injustice, this is not simple, no matter what path you have chosen before, and no matter what you have done those rebellious things, all this official can not be blamed in the past, but the official requires you not to give up the pursuit of ideals, do things under the command of the official, and also cheer and shout for the people, water can carry the boat, can also overturn the boat, many adults in the court have forgotten this, they do not know the stability of the world, In fact, it is the stability of the people, once the people rise up to rebel, the dynasty often comes to an end. ”

"Your fame that has been stripped away, the official will get it back for you, but you have to keep in mind that the official lets you do things, not to let you enjoy the glory and wealth, maybe you will face more difficulties and obstacles, you are right, the class of the great Ming scholars, a large number of people in order to protect their own interests, do everything, they prey on the people, help the abuse, force the people to have no way to live, in the future you have to work against these people, if you have the courage to do it, if you don't have the guts, you will say it."

"This official will restore your fame and erase everything you have done before, of course, there are conditions, if you dare to challenge the shortcomings of the scholars, or even dare to challenge the shortcomings of the court, then you should inherit it, do things honestly, the official will forgive if you make mistakes without intention, and the official will never forgive if you have the heart to do evil, if you dare not accept it, then don't think about any fame, go home and live an ordinary life."

When Zheng Xunrui said this, Li Yan's body was already trembling violently, he is a person who has experienced ups and downs, and understands a lot of things, what is the meaning of Zheng Xunrui's words, his experience is even more profound.

Two minutes later, Li Yan knelt down.

It is not a simple thing for a scholar to kneel.

"I am willing to follow the adults until death."

Li Yan said very simply, and his expression was very resolute.

"Very good, you get up, the requirements you just mentioned, the official has also thought about it, starting a family, this is a major personal matter, you are already the identity of a person, of course this aspect can not be biased, your former wife Tang, that can not be abandoned, the official has sent someone to Qi County, pick up the Tang family to Luoyang, your family reunion, the Tang family must have suffered a lot, you should be grateful, as for the red lady, there is affection and righteousness for you, the official also knows, the official sees the red lady is also not married to you, this family business, This officer calls the shots for you. ”

"Li Yan, you have to keep one thing in mind for the rest of your life, it is a man who wants to let his wife and concubine live a good life, if he is full of benevolence and morality, but he doesn't care about his family, such a man is destined to have no future."

Li Yan, who was about to get up, heard Zheng Xunrui say this, the whole person was a little wooden, Zheng Xunrui is the crown prince Shaobao, an unattainable high-ranking official, and he cares so much about a rebel who has been stripped of his fame, this kindness, if he can't repay it desperately, he Li Yan will be a man in vain.

"The grace of the adults, I dare not forget it, the grace of the dripping water is reciprocated, Li Yan swears today, if he betrays the adult, he will not die well, and he will not enter the ancestral hall."

After Li Yan left, Zheng Jinhong entered the house.

"Young master, Li Yan participated in the rebellion, is it worth it for you to protect it like this."

It's no wonder that Zheng Jinhong has such an idea, if you talk about recruiting talents, so many jinshi raise people, Zheng Xunrui can recruit a lot of people at will.

"Jin Hong, Li Yan is not ordinary, you will know in the future, in addition, there are scholars around Li Zicheng who give advice, I don't know how many readers in this world are aspiring, there are many people with real talent, if you have no choice but to go to Li Zicheng, the power of the Liukou will become stronger, I made this move, presumably those readers around Li Zicheng will not be at ease, in the final analysis, readers are all thinking of being able to glorify their ancestors. You have to remember that you don't have to use force to break down your opponent, and sometimes strategy is more important. ”

"The subordinates understand, if the young master does this, the Liukou will not have a chance to get the assistance of the reader."

Zheng Xunrui looked at Zheng Jinhong and shook his head helplessly, it seems that Zheng Jinhong looks at the problem, and it is still impossible to be far-reaching. (To be continued.) )
