Niu Jinxing didn't say much, but Li Zicheng understood in an instant.

Li Yan is going to rebel, the former he threw himself into the rivers and lakes without success, and now he sees that I have been defeated all the way, and he plans to turn his back on me and pull a group of men and horses to Henan to work alone, which is unbearable!

Li Zicheng has long been dissatisfied with Li Yan, as early as the Ming capital, Li Yan advocated talking with Chongzhen about Zen concessions, but the Zen concessions failed but made Li Zicheng lose tens of millions of silver and tens of thousands of loads of grain. Later, he persuaded Li Zicheng to play the Jianghu card, but he also failed. Now when Li Zicheng is in the most difficult time, he plans to take away one of Li Zicheng's teams to develop in his hometown in Henan.

Niu Jinxing slandered like this, and Li Zicheng felt more and more that Li Yan had two hearts for him.

At this time, Li Zicheng was not angry, and immediately sent an order to kill Li Yan to vent his anger.

"Your Majesty, no." Niu Jinxing hurriedly persuaded him.

Li Zicheng was stunned, you want to put Li Yan to death, why did I come to stop it, and wondered: "Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?"

Niu Jinxing's eyes flashed like ghostly fire and said, "Your Majesty, Li Junshi has long been anti-voluntary, and he needs to plan for it."

Niu Jinxing felt that it was too explicit to kill Li Yan like this, after all, he was the left military of the Dashun Army, a general, and a high and powerful position.

And there is no obvious fault, besides, he has martial arts, and he has two brothers Li Nian and Li Mou under him, both of whom are brave and good at fighting, and should not be underestimated.

Li Zicheng couldn't help nodding, these days he has been defeated, his territory has been revolting and rebelling, he feels that he is a little messed up at this time, and feels that Niu Jinxing is right, how can he kill Li Yan like this, he must be charged, otherwise how can he convince the public?

Li Zicheng said: "The prime minister has a high view."

There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add, and there is some truth in this sentence.

Soon Li Zicheng summoned Li Yan.

"Minister Li Yan participates in Your Majesty." Li Yan was respectful to Li Zicheng.

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, flat." Li Zicheng smiled and personally helped Li Yan up and asked him to sit down.

Li Yan's gratitude for the grace of God was overflowing.

"After thinking about it, Aiqing's plan is feasible, Henan is the hinterland of the Central Plains, rich in grain and grass, and the people's hearts are simple, it is an indispensable place for me to be Dashun, and Aiqing guards Henan, I am very relieved. I will give you 20,000 elite soldiers, and Aiqing will be able to set off tomorrow."

When Li Zicheng said this, his two eyes were firmly fixed on Li Yan's reaction, revealing the king's trust and respect for his ministers, but of course, his hidden scheming was imperceptible.

Li Yan was really flattered, and quickly knelt down to thank him, "Your Majesty Shengming, the minister must live up to Your Majesty's high expectations, after quelling the rebellion in Henan, immediately wave his army to the west, Your Majesty will turn around and fight back, and the dog thief Wu Sangui will be destroyed by the enemy."

Li Zicheng pretended to be overjoyed, helped Li Yan up again, and immediately sent a decree to give a royal banquet to see off Li Junshi.

"Thank you, Lord Long."

The imperial banquet did not necessarily have to be accompanied by the emperor, and Li Zicheng did not accompany him this time, but found an excuse and sent a decree to Niu Jinxing to accompany him.

Five hundred sword and axe men were ambushed behind the tent of the imperial banquet.

After everything was ready, Niu Jinxing greeted Li Yan in person.

Li Zicheng allowed them to return to Henan, Li Yan will send troops tomorrow, and Li Zicheng will set up a royal banquet to entertain him tonight and see him off, Li Nian and Li Mu also knew.

The two of them were not at ease, "Brother, Dull Jun Chongzhen said that my brother has had a bloody disaster recently, and he must not mention to His Majesty the matter of leading troops into Henan. Brother, have you forgotten?"

"Hahaha......" Li Yan smiled indifferently, "Two virtuous brothers, how can the theory of the faint monarch be taken seriously? Your Majesty is in a predicament right now, and you and my brother Mu have received the emperor's grace, so we should share your Majesty's worries and serve Dashun."

"Brother is reasonable, but it's better to be careful in everything, and it's better for my brother not to go to tonight's banquet." Li Niandao.

Li Mu also advised, "Yes, brother, the emperor is busy, and he asked Prime Minister Niu Cheng to accompany him, Prime Minister Niu Cheng is so happy, and he is not a person all the way, what is there to drink with him at this banquet."

"Don't worry, the two virtuous brothers, it's just a meal, if you refuse it is disrespectful to the saint, and Prime Minister Niu doesn't look good on his face, just take this opportunity to have a long talk with the prime minister, which can be regarded as a goodbye and eliminate doubts between each other." Li Yan was ready, got up and left.

"If my brother insists on going to the feast, we will follow him."

Li Yan shook his head, but he couldn't refuse anymore, so he took Li Nian and Li Mu brothers out of the camp tent and came to Li Zicheng's big tent......

This scene was seen by a figure hiding in the shadows, and the black figure disappeared in an instant......

In a dense forest hundreds of meters away, Chongzhen was dressed as a Jiang Jian knight at this time, dressed in black, wearing a hat, holding a sword in his hand, and beside him were Tang Wan and Li Moran who was carrying a pair of shuttle darts.

These two are also dressed up as people in the rivers and lakes, and the three of them are handsome men and women who break into the rivers and lakes.

At this time, there was a phantom, and Li Miniang fell in front of Chongzhen, "Master, Feng'er has sent news that Li Yan and his two brothers have entered Li Zicheng's camp for the banquet."

Chongzhen sneered, "This Li Yan is really too stupid, he can't even see the Hongmen banquet, but it's a pity that he has a heart of loyalty to the country, went astray and voted for the wrong master......

"Master, should we save this person, when will we do it?" Tang Wancai asked Chongzhen.

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
