Li Yan did not receive any abuse in the city of Guide, although in the battle of the Dasha River, Li Yan let the Ming army suffer the first heavy defeat since the dispatch of the army, and suffered heavy casualties, but Li Yan was still subjected to. lā

It's just that he was confined to a courtyard by the Ming army, and there were Ming soldiers guarding it outside, and no one was allowed to approach.

Li Yan himself sat in the study, expressionless, Zhu Shunshui had already come three times to persuade Li Yan to return to the imperial court, but where was it so easy? If Li Yan was so easily persuaded to surrender, it would not be Li Yan.

Today's Li Yan is all in despair, and he made a wrong move, resulting in a loss of the whole game, which not only made him imprisoned, but also buried tens of thousands of brothers in the army, making the situation of his already extremely passive camp even worse.

"Lord Futai, Lord Prefect, General Qin!"

The voice of a guard sounded outside the door.

Li Yan raised his eyebrows, this time it was Zhu Jie who arrived in person!

As he spoke, the door was pushed open, and Zhu Jie arched his hand and said, "General Li Yan, I have been resting steadily these days, and I am polite." ”

Li Yan said coldly: "General Zhu, the general of the defeated army, only wants to die, if you persuade him to surrender, Hugh will mention it again......"

Before Li Yan finished speaking, he was already stunned there, because with a few people came in, there was also the red lady, his own wife!

"Matchmaker! You—How can you ......?"

Li Yan was shocked.

The red lady smiled miserably and replied: "Xianggong, life is the same, death is the same acupoint, what's wrong, yin and yang are separated, is the last thing we want to face......"

Li Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't expect that he made a wrong move, and even his wife was involved, it was useless, it was useless to the extreme!

"General Li, Mrs. Li, what do you say is the same as death, General Li is eloquent and strategic, full of wisdom, Mrs. Li is even more chivalrous, a chivalrous woman who suppresses the strong and helps the weak, and what the virtuous couple does, is respected by the world, if I kill you Zhu Jie, or dedicate you to the court, wouldn't it be infamous for the ages......"

Zhu Jie said with a smile.

Li Yan's face sank, and he shouted: "General Zhu, I, Li Yan, think that my skills are not as good as others, since I have already lost, I naturally only want to die quickly, and the things of renegade and surrender and ingratitude are not something that I, Li Yan, can do!" ”

The red lady hurriedly stepped forward and stood side by side with Li Yan, with the same resolute face, no matter what decision her husband makes, she will definitely follow closely!

Zhu Jie smiled slightly: "What did General Li say?" You were originally a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and your ancestors were even officials of the imperial court, and following Li Zicheng was a renegade and surrender, and being ungrateful and surrendering to the imperial court was the real prodigal son! You are a scholar, and you know more about loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness than I am......"

Li Yan's face changed slightly, and he replied: "General Zhu, don't be forceful, I am a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and I have been favored by the Ming Emperor for generations, but the Ming Dynasty is now terminally ill, look at the entire Central Plains, where is not the people's livelihood?" Natural disasters, heavy taxes, and levies still leave half a way for the people to live? Which of those officials above the court is not intrigue and form a party for personal gain? Which of the local officials is not deceiving their superiors and subordinates, filling their own pockets, and preying on the common people? What is the use of such a court? I, Li Yan, learned the way of Confucius and Mencius, and I also know that the people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light. ”

Zhu Jie's face was full of appreciation, just these few words from Li Yan showed that this person is a person with independent thoughts, foolish and loyal, and has his own judgment on the current situation, and even following Li Zicheng is just to realize his wishes, such a person is worthy of respect!

"General Li, what you said is right, the people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light, isn't it also to be able to put the people in fire and water when you go out of the mountains to follow Li Zicheng? However, since following Li Zicheng, why don't you think about how many innocent Li people have died tragically after years of fighting, and the continuous uprisings between thieves and sacrifice thieves? Are you saving the people of Li from fire and water? ”

Zhu Jie said lightly.

"One will make a thousand bones dry! This is an eternal truth, for the well-being of the people for a hundred years or even a thousand years, this temporary war is also unavoidable, and if it is not for the people's poor livelihood, who has nothing to do to go back to rebel? Why don't you look at how many people from Shaanxi to Sichuan, from Huguang to Henan, freeze and starve to death every year? The tragedy of cannibalism has not been seen in these places? If you don't rebel and overthrow this bastard court, the common people will never want to have a good life! ”

Li Yan shouted loudly.

Zhu Jie shook his head and replied: "General Li, you must understand that since ancient times, good ministers have chosen their masters and affairs, and good birds have chosen trees to perch, and Li has become a martial artist, how can he be worthy of General Li's follow?" Look at the things that the thieves and the thieves have done, the slaughter of the city has not been less, right? How innocent are those ordinary people who died tragically? Haven't you done a lot of things to drive the homeless people to attack the city? Just attacking Luoyang and Kaifeng, no less than 100,000 displaced people died on the battlefield, right? Luoyang Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion are even more vigorous, ten rooms and nine empty, rich and noble families have been looted, although there are many bastards who rob men and women, fish and meat people, but there are always unjust deaths, right? You are a scholar, have you ever heard of such a righteous army? ”

Li Yan was about to speak, Zhu Jie waved his hand, and then said: "Han Gaozu Liu Bang started in Longmu, rebelled against the tyrannical Qin, and finally unified the world, why?" The selection of talents and abilities and the three chapters of the law are the key, rest with the people, and cultivate the people's strength; When Emperor Taizu was even more so, he accumulated grain, built a high wall, and slowly became the king, which was also people-oriented, such a righteous army was the real righteous army, Li Zicheng Zhang Xianzhong and his ilk, but they were just thieves, and it was difficult to become a climate, even if they laid down the city of Beijing, what could they do? Can you expect Liu Zongmin and others to love the people like sons? ”

Li Yan frowned and didn't say a word.

The red lady on the side said angrily: "It's not good to break the king, it's better than the mediocre emperor in Beijing, right?" My husband is definitely no worse than you Zhu Jie! Let my husband surrender to the court? Be a pawn for those faint kings and traitors, and be a pawn for the tiger? Dream! ”

Qin Mufeng on the side shouted: "What do you old ladies know? No matter how capable your husband is, isn't it planted in our hands? How many people have you killed in Henan, how many people have been saved by our family in Henan and the capital, the plague is coming, if it weren't for our adults to taste the herbs, handwritten prescriptions, and help the world, I am afraid that this plague will take away more than hundreds of thousands of people, and millions of lives are just child's play! Are you comparable? Don't talk to Lao Tzu about the feelings of the family and the country, Lao Tzu doesn't understand, Lao Tzu only knows that you will harm the common people a lot, and our family is the real Buddha who saves the people from fire and water, why, are you not convinced? ”
