Chapter 239: Li Yan Leaves the City
Gao Yihuan didn't catch Liu Liangchen, and the guy was fired by Liu Heizi on the spot, so naturally he didn't interrogate anything.
The reason why he said that Wu Sangui had a connection with Dongyu was mainly to remind Li Zicheng of the situation.
Avoid Li Zicheng being caught off guard by Wu Sangui and the Qing army, so that he has a number in his heart.
copied the Fan family, hoping that Li Zicheng could destroy the Qing army's eyeliner in the pass, which was all conducive to the Dashun army gaining a firm foothold.
Li Zicheng is eager to become the real emperor, Dashun is also eager to replace the Ming Dynasty, the Eastern Crusade has become a general trend, not a person can stop it, Gao Yihuan can say so much.
Since Li Zicheng insisted on going eastward, he could only give him these reminders, hoping that the Dashun army would not be defeated as in history.
Without Li Yan's stop at the court meeting, the next court meeting went much more smoothly and ended in less than half an hour.
The only thing that was hotly debated in the middle was who would stay in the guards.
After Sun Chuanting was destroyed, the Ming Dynasty had no elite soldiers in the north, only Jiang Xiang, Tang Tong, Wu Sangui and a few other border towns.
There was no obstacle to the Eastern Expedition of the Great Shun Army, and it was almost foreseeable to kill Beijing and overthrow the Ming Dynasty.
Entering Beijing from the dragon and dividing up the property in Beijing is obviously more attractive than staying in Guanzhong.
Just like the commander of the fifth battalion, no one wants to replace Gao Yihuan and go to southern Henan, and the major generals are not very willing to stay and take care of their families.
Now Guanzhong is Li Zicheng's lair, the people who guard the town can not be too bad, and finally after fierce debate, it was finally decided that Tian Jianxiu, the second person of the Shun generals, and the queen Gao stayed in Xi'an, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others, then led the main force of the Dashun army from Xi'an to launch the battle of the Eastern Expedition.
The resolution was set, the inner servant sang and retreated, Li Zicheng got up to leave, and after the hundred officials sent it off, Gao Yihuan hurriedly walked to the outside of the main hall with many civil and military personnel, and hurried back to the post house.
Niu Jinxing finally walked out of the main hall, but he didn't go out of the palace with everyone, but turned his head and ordered: "Go and inform Your Majesty, I have something to ask to see." ”
In the imperial study, Niu Jinxing was brought in by the chamberlain and saluted Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng was a little puzzled, "Xiangguo, what else do you have to say?" ”
Niu Jinxing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, today Li Jiedu folded his face in the court. The minister is worried that he will hold a grudge! ”
Li Zicheng frowned, reacted instantly, and understood that there was something wrong with him driving Li Yan out of the court, and a huge crack had formed between the two.
Niu Jinxing quietly looked at Li Zicheng's face, and immediately bowed down and hugged his fists again, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Li Jiedu must not be allowed to return to Henan, so as not to change!" ”
Li Yan's influence in Henan is very great, and almost all the officials in Henan, especially the civilian officials, are recruited by him.
If Li Yan wants to rebel in Henan, then the Eastern Crusade will definitely be stopped, and Li Zicheng's great cause will be greatly affected.
For a while, Li Zicheng's face instantly became gloomy.
Gao Yihuan hurried back to the post house and prepared to go straight to the backyard, but when he reached the door, he stopped again.
"What about the general's return?" Gao Chengwei greeted him.
Gao Yihuan looked at him and pondered for a moment, "Cheng Wei, you go to the backyard, find Li Jiedu's attendant, and ask him to tell Li Jiedu and let Li Jiedu leave Xi'an immediately!" ”
Gao Chengwei was slightly stunned, but he didn't ask much, and immediately bowed down and hugged his fists, "Let's do it." ”
"Wait!" Gao Yihuan stopped him, "Be secret, don't let the people in the post house pay attention." ”
"General rest assured!" Gao Chengwei saw that he looked serious and didn't dare to slack off.
After he left, Gao Yihuan suddenly turned around and said, "Go, prepare some gifts, I was going to General Li's mansion." ”
After speaking, Gao Yihuan changed into a set of regular clothes, and when he came out, Gao Chengwei hurriedly returned, "General, Li Jiedu's carriage is back, but the person is not there." The attendant said that Li Jiedu asked them to come back first, and he did not return to the post house. ”
Gao Yihuan was taken aback when he heard this, "Prepare a carriage for me." ”
On the other end, Li Yan left the palace a little depressed, he was in a very confused mood, waved his hand to let the carriage go back, and walked alone on the streets of Xi'an.
In the early morning, as the sun rises, the morning shops on the streets open for business, and the roads are crowded.
Li Yan thought as he walked, Dashun rushed to take Beijing, but he couldn't hold it, and in the end, he was cheap, so wouldn't he become a sinner in the world.
For a while, Li Yan's heart was in turmoil, but he couldn't do anything, just walked aimlessly on the street.
Gao Yihuan sat in the carriage, raising the curtain from time to time to look, and one of Li Yan's attendants in the carriage also opened the window on the other side and glanced along the street.
"General, where is my marshal!" The squire spoke suddenly.
Gao Yihuan hurriedly squeezed his body to his side, looked at the street, and sure enough, he looked at Li Yan in an official uniform.
At that moment, Gao Yihuan hurriedly looked at Gao Chengwei, who was walking with the carriage, and said: "Has anyone followed Li Jiedu?" ”
"I didn't find it, but Jiedu's official uniform was too conspicuous, and everyone on the road noticed it."
Gao Yihuan stirred his cheeks twice, and said in a deep voice: "I can't care so much." ”
Li Yan was walking worriedly, but one or two carriages suddenly arrived beside him, and the attendant immediately stretched out his head and said urgently: "Jie Shuai, get on the carriage quickly!" ”
Li Yan was slightly stunned, and looked at it calmly, it was his attendant, he walked all the way, and calmed down, so he got into the carriage, but found that Gao Yihuan was also there, and his face immediately showed a look of displeasure, "What are you doing here?" Aren't you afraid of being implicated by me? ”
Gao Yihuan went straight to the point, "Jieshuai, now that the Eastern Crusade is a foregone conclusion, it is not the strength of Jieshuai alone to stop it, and since it can't be stopped, Jieshuai should think about it, what if the Eastern Crusade fails and the captives enter the customs?" ”
When Li Yan heard this, his heart couldn't help but perk, but Gao Yihuan continued: "Jieshuai, I received news that Niu Jinxing wants to be unfavorable to Jieshuai, and I also ask Jieshuai to hurry up and get out of the city and return to Henan to prepare for the war!"
Li Yan listened and instantly fell silent.
An hour later, nearly a thousand Shun soldiers suddenly appeared outside the post house, and Zhou Ronghua led nearly 100 soldiers into the backyard in a hurry.
"General, I didn't see Li Jiedu!" The soldiers came to report one after another.
Zhou Ronghua's face sank, and he hurriedly walked outside, when a carriage stopped in front of the post house, and Gao Yihuan got out of it.
"Brother Zhou, what is this?" Gao Yihuan saw the soldiers and horses surrounding the post house, and when he saw Zhou Ronghua coming over, his heart shook, and he really didn't guess wrong.
Zhou Ronghua saw Gao Yihuan's look of surprise, and did not answer, but asked first: "Where is Brother Gao?"
Gao Yihuan was puzzled: "Go and pay a New Year's greeting to the Marquis of Hao, I used to be his subordinate."
Zhou Ronghua nodded, and asked again: "Brother Gao, you didn't get involved with Li Jiedu!"
Gao Yihuan's face was shocked, and he suddenly grabbed Zhou Ronghua's hand and shook it vigorously, "Brother Zhou reminded me yesterday, don't get too close to Li Jiedu, I went out when I came back to avoid him, and I didn't go together in the morning." What's the matter, what happened to Li Jiedu?"
Seeing this, Zhou Ronghua withdrew his hand and sneered: "It's okay, Brother Gao thinks too much."
In the palace, Li Zicheng was surprised: "Li Yan has already left?"
Niu Jinxing clenched his fists, "Yes, the order is one step late, he has already returned to Henan!" ”
Li Zicheng's face turned cold, Li Yan fled back to Henan, and if he wanted to take people again, it would not be easy to deal with him, so he had to wait for Beijing to sit on the throne completely, and then deal with Li Yan.
