However, Huang Degong will definitely not expose Zhu Jie's affairs at this time, although he is only a martial artist, but he still has this brain, and now most of the powerful people in Nanjing City are on Ma Shiying's side, and rashly expose Zhu Jie's affairs, then it will be passive.

Fortunately, Huang Degong also knows that time is running out, soon, Zhenguogong's reinforcements are coming, Sun Chuanting and Hou Sui are already on the way, plus Shi Kefa and Bi Maokang, who originally supported Zhenguogong, and the three towns of Nanjing under their command, Zhu Jie has the edict of Empress Yi'an in hand, with Zhu Jie's huge prestige among the people, this matter is not difficult to think of!

Only three days passed, and Zhu Jie's reinforcements arrived, but this time it was not Sun Chuanting or Hou Xian, but his mastermind Li Yan!

"Li Yan has seen ...... adults"

Li Yan came to the yamen of the ministry and bowed to Zhu Jie.

Zhu Jie glanced at Li Yan, in more than half a month, Li Yan ran from Nanjing to the capital, and then returned to Nanjing from the capital, together, the journey was close to five thousand miles, even if Li Yan was not a weak scholar, such a long-distance march was already exhausted, the original handsome and elegant Confucian general, now became haggard, his face was a little pale, the beard on his mouth was too late to clean up, a cyan Confucian suit, has completely turned black and brown, and the most tragic thing is that even the hero has appeared a few big holes, At first glance, it was cut by trees on the road.

"Brother Li Yan, it's been hard all the way, come here, immediately order someone to prepare wine and food, and serve tea!"

The people below hurriedly went to prepare, and Li Yan thanked him with a smile.

Zhu Jie asked lightly: "Brother Li Yan, this time, you can be regarded as a strategic victory, a thousand miles away, this matter, I'm afraid that it has been planned for a long time, right?" ”

Li Yan smiled and hurriedly replied: "My lord, how can it be, even if I want to plan early, someone has to be able to listen to me......

"Come on!"

Zhu Jie smiled and said, "Can you hide it from me like this?" Yes, other things, without my nod, whether it is Mu Feng or Yifan, they will not listen to you, but, only this matter, each of them will listen to you, you don't tell me to make a decision on the spot, don't say you, even if I am in a hurry, I want to deploy so carefully, step by step, it is impossible, you say that it has been planned for a long time? The devil believes! Also, what secrets do you think Qin Mufeng's broken mouth can keep in front of me? ”

Li Yan's face darkened, wiped it, knowing that this matter would have to be ganged up sooner or later, and he couldn't hide it from the discerning adult, but he didn't expect that the matter would be on his own people, Qin Mufeng, this kid is a big mouth, and he can't take him to discuss secrets next time! However, it seems that there will be no second time for such a thing.

"Your Excellency,"

Li Yan smiled bitterly: "This is also a matter of no way, people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, so many of us gathered under your command, but not just for the revitalization of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, to be honest, I have long been a rebel, whether it is Emperor Apocalypse or Emperor Chongzhen, what is the difference for me?" In my eyes, only the well-being of hundreds of millions of people in Wanli Shenzhou is the most important, Emperor Chongzhen can't realize my dream, and other emperors can't realize my dream, there is no way, I can only pin my dream on you......"

Zhu Jie snorted coldly and replied: "That is, you, I know where your ambition is, so I have been quiet, if there is another person, even if it is Yifan, I will not spare him!" If such a huge plan is not done well, the lives of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people will be threatened! How can I honor your child's play? ”

Li Yan hurriedly said: "My lord, when I was obedient, you had already shared your heart with me, I was for the common people in the world, aren't you the same?" Without this consensus, why should I be? Besides, whether to ascend the throne or not, is not just your business, this is related to the future of all the soldiers under your command, if you let the situation develop, it is almost impossible for you to show your ambitions, the emperor trusts you so much, you still can't withstand the pressure of the ministers, not to mention other people ascending the throne? Once you fall, take these generals and think tanks, I am afraid that you will die without a place to bury......"

Zhu Jie knew very well in his heart, Li Yan put down the affairs of Nanjing, and took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the capital, in fact, he had already made up his mind, along the way, he kept issuing orders, if he changed to another person, he would never allow Li Yan to do this, covering the sky with one hand, and playing with the commander between the palms, which is intolerable to any commander, but Zhu Jie knew in his heart that only this matter, Li Yan could also gather a kind of generals together, other things, that is impossible, don't talk about Li Yan, Even Sun Chuanting does not have such prestige, he can make the entire Tianwei Army bow to their ears, and only the fact that they are on the throne will make them do it willingly.

"Okay, don't talk this nonsense, it's hard all the way, the wine and food are ready, let's talk while eating......"

The wine and food were served, and Li Yan was not polite, and feasted in front of Zhu Jie.

"Inspector Sun, why didn't you come with you?"

"When I left, General Yifan had not arrived, and Inspector Sun was not at ease, so he could only stay for two days, waiting for General Yifan to arrive at the Daimyo Mansion before leaving for the south......"

Zhu Jie nodded, but too, before Xu Yifan arrived, it was impossible for Sun Chuanting to put down tens of thousands of troops and go south alone.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, I've already laid everything out......"

Li Yan continued, "Lord Hou Sui was supposed to arrive in Nanjing before me, but I was entrusted by me to make a detour to Suzhou and Hangzhou to contact the celebrities in Jiangnan, not only Lord Hou Sui, but also Huang Zongxi, Yang Tingshu, Gu Yanwu and other adults, I'm afraid that they are no longer in Nanjing City, right?" ”

Zhu Jie's heart was shocked, but it was also true, he was busy with military affairs in the past few days, but he left these people behind, but for several days, he didn't see them.

"Since we are going to take you to the top, how can we not be fully prepared? Although several of them are not in a prominent position, but in the Jiangnan area, their prestige is higher than one another, which one is not a character who stamps his feet and trembles in the Jiangnan literary circle? Naturally, they all ran out to seek help for you......"

Zhu Jie smiled bitterly: "You kid, that's why you dare to do this......"

Li Yan smiled and said: "My lord, if it weren't for your trust, lend me ten guts, I wouldn't dare, at least, under the king's tent, I would never do this!" ”
