A few days later, Chongzhen's team entered the border of Henan.

Henan is a large province in the Central Plains, and it is also Li Yan's hometown, as soon as he stepped on this land, Li Yan had a feeling of going home.

It has been 4 years since he left his hometown in Henan with Li Zicheng.

Unexpectedly, today he set foot again on this hot land where he was born and raised, and at this time he had a feeling of homesickness and wandering suddenly returning home.

Looking back on the four eventful years, especially following Li Zicheng, he sighed at the impermanence of life.

At the beginning, Li Zicheng lifted him to the sky, and in the end, he was accused of Hongmen Banquet to kill him, but thanks to Chongzhen's rescue at the risk of death, he was able to get out of danger.

Thinking about these experiences, Li Yan was even more upset and emotional.

It's still good to be in the Ming Dynasty! The ancestor became an official of the Ming Dynasty, and now he is an official of the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business.

Now I'm finally home again......

Li Yan's excited tiger eyes were full of liquid, that kind of long-lost kindness, which kind of beloved emotion could not be perceived by those who had experienced it firsthand.

Seeing that Li Yan was so excited, Chongzhen talked to him more.

According to the original historical development, Li Yan could only succumb to death and become a lonely ghost, unjustly sinking to the bottom of the sea, and there would never be a day of snow.

Seeing that Li Yan escaped from Li Zicheng's knife and returned to his hometown in Henan, Chongzhen was also happy for him, and the two talked happily.

From the ups and downs of life, the two ministers talked about the plans of the family and the country, and the rise and fall of the world......

Chongzhen found that Li Yan was indeed a scholar, he drank a lot of ink, had a splendid mind, and had a good plan. has unique insights, and has his own insights into fighting and sitting on the country.

Sure enough, it's a rare talent.

It's a pity that Li Zicheng only uses him to fight the world, not to do the world.

Otherwise, he would definitely not fail to enter Beijing to catch the exam.

Thanks to my design to save him, otherwise it would be a terrible thing to die under Li Zicheng's butcher's knife.

The two of them walked all the way and talked all the way.

As soon as they arrived in the area of Anyang, Henan, the Red Lady and Li Nian came with 2,000 cavalry to greet King Qin.

The Red Lady is developing rapidly.

After receiving Chongzhen's will, the Red Lady and Li Nian brought 6,000 soldiers and horses to eliminate thieves everywhere, and incorporated the Dashun army that was willing to surrender and the anti-Shun rebel army in various places.

In less than a month, the number of people increased by more than 10,000, and now her command has reached 20,000.

Less than half a month after Li Zicheng retreated to Shaanxi, now the entire Hebei, northern Henan, and most of Shandong have become the world of the Ming Dynasty.

The Red Lady and Li Nian were originally thieves in Shandong.

Hearing that the saint drove to Henan, the red lady and Li Nian were elated, selected 2,000 cavalry, and galloped 500 miles to meet the emperor in two days, and they were also anxious to see Li Yan.

The two sides were happy to meet, Chongzhen saw that the red lady was really a heroic heroine, the red lady knelt down to see the car, and saw that there were a few beauties around Chongzhen, only to look like a race, the red lady's heart moved, but I didn't expect the emperor to be a merry man.

The two sides continued to move forward in one place, and soon arrived in the area of Kaizhou.

Kaizhou is the area of Puyang in the later generations.

At this time, the magistrates of Henan heard that Chongzhen came back from the dead, cleaned up *** in Shanhaiguan, and drove away the thieves in the capital, drove to Henan, and rushed from all directions to meet him.

The magistrates who came to greet him one after another included Chen Qianfu, the governor of Henan, Yue Qijie, the governor of Henan, Yuan Shu, the governor of Henan and the governor of the Great Liang Army, and Sang Kaidi, the prefect of Germany, and so on.

These magistrates in Henan saw Chongzhen kneeling and kowtowing, and the mountain shouted long live.

Peeking at Chongzhen, some of them saw the emperor for the first time, and some of them saw Long Yan a few times, thinking that the emperor was too young.

Especially those who have seen Chongzhen, the previous decadence and the current Yushu Linfeng are completely like two people.

Chongzhen asked them to be exempt from courtesy.

The others all got up to thank him, but Sang Kaidi, the prefect of Guide, still knelt on the ground, and he kowtowed to the ground with courage, "The emperor has traveled a long distance and is tired all the way, and the minister should not be troubled by the emperor, but the minister is not unhappy about something."

"Aiqing has something to do, just play it."

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach Xu Dingguo, the chief soldier of Suizhou."

Chongzhen's face was shocked, impeaching Xu Dingguo? As soon as I get here, someone will go to court?

Of course, Chongzhen is no stranger to this Xu Dingguo, Chongzhen said, "Qing is playing in detail."

Sang Kaidi kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Xu Dingguo, the chief soldier of Suizhou, is in the area of Suizhou and Guide, arson and robbery everywhere, making the people's resentment boiling, please give Your Majesty permission to the general army for the crime of lax management of the army."

"Is that so?" Chongzhen pretended to be surprised, "Where is Chief Xu now? Why don't you come to see King Jiaqin?"

Henan Inspector Yushi Chen Qianfu hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, General Xu Bing has contracted the wind and cold and is recuperating in the camp."

Chongzhen looked at Chen Qianfu and knew that this was also a mallet, and he took a fancy to his daughter and married three sisters from the same family, but in the end, all of them resisted and died.

He is now taking sick leave for Xu Dingguo?

What Xu Dingguo has changed, of course Chongzhen knows. It seems that the water in Henan officialdom is not shallow, the fish and dragons are mixed, and there is also the influence of Nanming Ma Shiying and others, since I am in Henan, I have to deal with it.

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
