Two big news came out of the camp one after another.

First of all, Li Zicheng announced that Li Yan would be promoted to join the army on the right, who is Li Yan? In the camp, except for Li Jin and Gao Yigong, it is not clear, and the generals are also confused, why would they promote a junior officer who has violated military discipline to join the army?

You must know that in the camp, although the army does not have military power, it belongs to the king and the ministers, Gu Junen is the left army in the camp, although the left is respected, the right army is lower than the left army, but that can also be the core decision-making, which is naturally self-evident.

"Just by virtue of his bragging in front of King Chuang? Can you join the army? This is the idea of most of the old qualifications to break into the army, especially Liu Zongmin and Li Shuangxi, who are very dissatisfied with Li Zicheng's leapfrogging promotion.

After Li Jin and Tian Jianxiu learned that Li Yan was right in the account that day, they were convinced, and they both thought that Li Yan was a talent, and now that the army was in danger, it was the time when talents were needed.

If the first news still makes everyone scratch their heads, the second news is not so eye-catching, the commander Gao Yigong accidentally found a temple when he led a team to patrol the mountain, after Gu Junen's identification, it was a temple during the Tang Zhenguan period, and King Chuang intended to go to divination and auspiciousness.

Perhaps for the literati of this era, gods, ghosts and demons are just illusory things, or simply used as a means to accomplish political ambitions, but for the level of prenatal education per capita such as breaking into the army, gods and demons are quite convincing.

Divination is also a normal thing, now the army is in distress, morale is low, there is no hope, they don't even know if they can live until tomorrow, let alone the future? Divination is undoubtedly the most promising thing for them.

So this matter was quickly passed, and everyone wanted to see if this God was still on their side.

On the third day of the first month of March, Li Zicheng took several generals and dozens of soldiers to the top of Yufu Mountain and came to the temple with the three big characters of "Yufu Temple" written on it.

This temple is a long time ago, it is difficult to say whether it is Zhenguan year, after all, Gu Junen's cultural level is like that, but it is certain that it must not be a temple in the Ming Dynasty, because of the deserted courtyard, the overgrown road, and the plaque that is almost unrecognizable, even the Maitreya gold body inside has almost fallen off, leaving only patches of mottled iron and copper rust.

"King Chuang, this temple looks so dilapidated and ruined, if it collapses when you go in, won't it hurt everyone?" Wearing silver scale armor, with a beard, Liu Zongmin, who was born like a butcher, said worriedly beside Li Zicheng.

After joining the army, Li Yan probably had an understanding of the generals under Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, who was the most brave in the war, but it was difficult to say how loyal Li Zicheng was.

"General Liu, haven't you heard the truth that there are many dragons in the depths of the water? This temple is ancient, but it can still be preserved, and there must be all kinds of supernatural powers in it" Gu Junen said with a smile on the side, supernatural powers, he doesn't believe in them, but he can rely on this to conjure supernatural powers.

"Of course I know......." Liu Zongmin glared at Gu Junen stubbornly and retorted, he usually hates reading people the most, Gu Junen is the first of them, and I don't see you all day long!

"Okay, I've been in the world for thirteen years, and I can still be scared by a temple?" Li Zicheng said magnificently, immediately untied the saber and handed it to the guards beside him, and then walked in with great strides.

"Where you enter the Buddha's gate, don't carry a sword." Li Yan whispered to several generals around him.

"Humph!" Although he was disdainful of Li Yan, he couldn't defeat Li Zicheng's interest after all, so he untied his saber and handed it to the guards around him, and followed Li Zicheng in.

Li Yan was also accustomed to their white eyes during this time, and he didn't care, he didn't bring a knife with him, so he followed and walked in last.

The temple is not big, but it can accommodate these people, and several generals are curiously inspecting the surrounding items, but unfortunately the valuable ones have long been taken away, leaving only a bunch of wooden bowls and broken bottles.

Li Zicheng looked at the Buddha statue that was already slightly desolate, his hands were folded, suitable for what he was praying, and the generals were lined up on both sides, staring at Li Zicheng who was praying, with different expressions, what Li Zicheng was praying for, everyone knew, but everyone had their own thoughts about where to go in the future.

Before long, Li Zicheng opened his eyes, sighed deeply, then turned around, faced the generals, and said: "In the past, you followed me to fight against the Ming, but today you are more than ten years, less than seven or eight years, but you are still trapped in the mountains, and you are ashamed." ”

Hearing this, all the generals were stunned, and seemed to remember the Jin Ge Iron Horse over the years, and only they knew the ups and downs during the period, so they all bowed their hands and said: "It is incumbent on you to serve the king!" ”

Li Zicheng raised his hand to interrupt them, and said slowly: "Where is there any obligation, I know that many of you are thinking about going down the mountain and surrendering......"

"King Chuang, the current situation is that we have to surrender to the court dog officials, but we can only surrender first and then plan later!" Tian Jianxiu saw Li Zicheng mention this matter, and immediately opened his mouth to argue.

Liu Zongmin didn't speak, his eyes were quite wandering, as if he was thinking about something, most of the generals were in this state, with different expressions, and they were not in a hurry to argue.

"It seems that many people have other thoughts" Li Yan peeked at the expressions of the generals, and there was a general number in his heart, except for Tian Jianxiu and Gu Junen, I am afraid that most people have already had the heart of surrender, and there is a plan to tie up Li Zicheng to change his reputation.

"I don't blame you," Li Zicheng shook his head.

"Just like what Brother Li Yan said that day, I am really useless, since the death of the old king, I have lost even battles, I don't even have a foothold, and I haven't given my brothers wealth and wealth." Li Zicheng seems to have really fallen into self-blame.

Good acting skills, Li Yan watched Li Zicheng, and secretly thought in his heart, did Li Zicheng blame himself? That's impossible, how can a hero blame himself? Xiaoxiong will only spend his time on how to fly higher and how to achieve greater benefits, and will never waste on weak self-blame!

Others may not understand, but Li Yan, who has received systematic history education, understands this very well.

"King Chuang's words are serious" The generals hurriedly said when they heard this, of course, most of them were not angry, and it could be seen that they were actually dissatisfied and suspicious of Li Zicheng in their hearts.

"Brother Zongmin" Li Zicheng suddenly looked at Liu Zongmin.

Liu Zongmin was stunned when he heard this, but then he became vigilant, Li Zicheng suddenly mentioned this matter today, didn't he want to cut him? There are so many foreshadowings ahead, anyone can see what Li Zicheng wants to say, and Liu Zongmin has already begun to think about how to get out in his mind.

"King Chuang." Liu Zongmin replied uncertainly.

"I know you want to go, I think I can't do anything, in fact, I also think I can't do anything, today all the brothers are here, let's make a decision, let God decide whether this future is dead or alive!" Li Zicheng said loudly.

Liu Zongmin and the generals were stunned when they heard this, let God decide? What do you mean?

"Big guy brother, if God really wants me to defeat Li Zicheng's army, then there is nothing to say, this head will be given to everyone to exchange for wealth!" Li Zicheng took off the felt hat on his head, revealing his messy hair, and said loudly.

Everyone's brows furrowed, Li Zicheng is doing this.

"There happens to be a box of signs here, Brother Zongmin, you come up and ask for a lot, if it is not conducive to our army, then cut off my head to receive the reward!" Li Zicheng waved his hand and said quite tragically: "In my life, Li Zicheng has had enough of the suffering of the imperial court, and I will definitely not surrender!" ”

"King Chuang, this is not appropriate!" Gu Junen, Tian Jianxiu, Li Jin, and Li Yan said loudly at the same time, of course, Gu Junen and Li Yan belong to acting, and Tian Jianxiu and Li Jin are sincere.

"There's nothing wrong with that! Bring a knife! Li Zicheng said loudly, and soon Gao Yigong ran in with a Yanling knife, and he didn't know what was going on.

Gao Yigong obeyed Li Zicheng's order and handed the Yanling knife to Liu Zongmin, looking at the serious expressions of the generals and begging for a signature, is it so serious?

"Liu Zongmin! You are arrogant! When Li Jin saw that Liu Zongmin was really holding a knife, he suddenly became angry and scolded sharply.

"It's just asking for a signature, what's the matter? Are you worried that I will really kill the king? Liu Zongmin didn't think so, ignored Li Jin at all, strode up, took the stick, and Li Zicheng knelt in front of the Buddha statue, closed his eyes, and seemed to be waiting for death.

"Ask for what?" Liu Zongmin fiddled with the stick holder and looked around at the generals.

At this time, someone below spoke: "Naturally, I begged if we could get out alive!" ”

"Nope! Ask if we can be rich! ”

"It's better to ask for wealth than to return to your hometown!"

The voice of twittering was noisy, as if what he asked for seemed to be really useful, only Li Jin stared at Liu Zongmin with a solemn face, Tian Jianxiu was also vigilant, for fear that Liu Zongmin would really do it, and Gu Junen's brows were also slightly furrowed, the morale of the army was actually to this point, he didn't expect it, on the other hand, Li Yan was really sure?

"Chuang Wang and you, is it just for a few boxes of treasures to oppose the imperial court?" Li Yan's voice interrupted the crowd who were still arguing.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Yan, as if they wanted to see what he had to say.

"If you ask for a sign, you will ask for a big one! Ask for the Son of Heaven! Li Yan said loudly.

As soon as these words came out, all four were shocked, and even Gu Junen's heart jumped violently, Son of God! How many sacred two words, although they rebelled, they also respected these two words like gods.

That's the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven! Is it really what they can do with mud legs? Li Zicheng knelt on the ground, his heart also beat wildly, being the Son of Heaven, he had never thought about it since the day he rebelled, not that he didn't want to, he didn't dare, he was reckless, how could he dare to have such great ambitions?

"If the king becomes the Son of Heaven, you will be crowned as a marquis and worship the prime minister, and your wife and son, is it still a problem?!" Li Yan added the last fire to everyone.

"Good! Just ask to be able to be the Son of Heaven! ”

"That's right! Just ask for this! ”

"Lao Tzu also wants to be a marquis! Please! ”

All the generals shouted wildly, their emotions had been stirred up, and they seemed to have found a goal higher than grabbing things, that is, to be the Lord's Minister!

Liu Zongmin's heart was also beating wildly when he heard this, Son of God! But since he said so, he had no choice but to say loudly: "Okay! Then ask for this! ”

Immediately began to shake the lottery holder......

The first sign "red head, sign up"

Everyone's eyes widened, sign up, can King Chuang really be the Son of Heaven?!

"Ask three times! Kill me if you don't know once! Li Zicheng's firm voice came.

Three times! If you sign the lottery three times, then you will really be blessed by the gods and Buddhas, and the generals, including Liu Zongmin, held their breath, accompanied by the shaking sound of the lottery holder, as if the gears of fate were crunching.

The second sign, "Red head, sign up!" ”

......

The third sign ....... "red ...... Red head, sign up! Liu Zongmin's lips trembled and said.

"This providence too! King Chuang will be the Son of Heaven! Li Yan suddenly shouted.

If once can be attributed to luck, three times, then it must be more than luck!

"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! "The generals are also crazy, and a strange idea is beginning to sprout in their hearts, why can't we become characters like Xu Da and Chang Yuchun?

Liu Zongmin threw down the lotter, knelt down violently, and shouted: "King Chuang!" The subordinates are served! Long live the king! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Liu Zongmin, who has a low level of education, can only attribute this strange phenomenon to the protection of gods and Buddhas, a person protected by gods and Buddhas is not the Son of Heaven, what is that? It's ridiculous that he actually wanted to abandon him, and almost made a big mistake.

The emotions in the temple reached a climax, and only two people were calm, one was Gu Junen and the other was Li Yan.

Li Yan looked at the soldiers who were long lived, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a sneer, it seems that history is still running according to the original rules...... But if Liu Zongmin checks all the signs, he will find that all the signs have long been replaced with red by Li Yan's faction, no matter how he asks for it, it will only be "signed"!

Of course, in this atmosphere, no one will think to check the sign in the tube, do you want to question the meaning of God? Or do you think King Chuang is not worthy of being the Son of Heaven?

Gu Junen secretly looked at Li Yan who was smiling, and was secretly shocked in his heart: "Is this your ambition?!" It turns out that what you really want is the whole world! Is such a person a blessing or a curse for the army? ”
