Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Li Yan bent down to salute, and after thanking him repeatedly, he replied:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, my concubine has already left, and her family will also accompany her.

My father is also packing up the family business and preparing to settle in the capital. "

“As a family, it’s better to live together.

I heard that your family has always worshiped Buddha and worshiped Taoism. They are a kind family.

After your mother's arrival, I allowed her to enter the palace frequently and chat with the two queens. "

Zhu Youjian gave another reward with one sentence.

This is a great grace!

Li Yan quickly thanked him again.

He personally saw the courtyard given to him by the emperor.

It is a courtyard with one entrance and four entrances, and there is also a side courtyard.

In the main courtyard, a small pond was built according to local conditions.

The reference is still to the running water of mountain streams!

The gurgling water never froze even though it was winter, making a tinkling sound.

In the side courtyard, there is a small hot spring, which is extremely wonderful!

When the red lady comes, she will definitely like this new home.

I remember back then, because I violated Yan Zhijian and hated Li Zicheng...

At that time, the red lady had said more than once that she would take her away and live in seclusion in the countryside.

The new home given by His Majesty today is not a secluded place, but it is also very quiet.

Especially the side courtyard halfway up the mountain, with its hot springs and dense water vapor, it's like a fairyland.

The red lady will love this new home!

The best thing is that behind Li Mansion, there is a large open space.

This was specially reserved for him by the emperor.

It’s several acres in size!

The emperor said that he had not made a single contribution and would not reward him lavishly.

As long as he makes meritorious service in the future, Yousi will be asked to build another courtyard for him.

The Li family was originally just a "small landowner" family.

Although there are only a dozen Zhuangzi under his family, they are not considered a wealthy family.

Li Yan's family was naturally overjoyed to be given a house by the emperor.

Not only my mother Chen came with me, but my father Li Chunmao also came with his three wives and concubines.

It can be said that the Li family has moved...

Zhu Youjian reached out and knocked on the table, and Wang Lian hurriedly served tea.

Zhu Youjian picked up a cup by himself, scraped off the tea leaves with the lid of the tea bowl, and took a sip.

"Drink tea, why are you so polite!"

Seeing Li Yan sitting opposite him in a reserved manner, not daring to move, Zhu Youjian smiled and greeted him.

Li Yan hurriedly thanked him and picked up the tea cup with both hands.

Zhu Youjian stroked the beard on his chin and sneered:

"Did the Qing family ever know that our ancestors in the Ming Dynasty were all bearded?"

Li Yan looked at the emperor confused.

For a moment, I didn't know why the emperor's thoughts jumped so much.

“After Chenghua, folk tales and popular novels became popular.

In these market cultures, bearded men are codified into brave and reckless men.

For example, Zhang Fei in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was originally a fair scholar, a man of both civil and martial arts who could write poems, but he became a rude and fierce Zhang Fei.

For example, Li Kui in "Water Margin" was portrayed as a reckless man who did not consider the consequences of his actions...

Li Yan, do you think they are insulting the monarch?

Is this the crime of deceiving the emperor? "

Li Yan frowned. What the emperor said was indeed true.

Starting from the Ming Dynasty, in the interpretation of story novels, as long as a wise man appears, he must be a fair-faced and bearded existence.

Three long strands of beard and fair face have become the same rhetoric.

And rude and reckless men must all have beards...

Li Yan raised his head and glanced quickly at the emperor.

The emperor's face was filled with anger.

Because I traveled far to Shangnan and didn't take care of my hair for three or two days, green stubble appeared on my temples.

Although it is not very thick, you can still tell that it is a beard.

Obviously, this is a distinctive feature of the Zhu family.

Just at this glance, Li Yan understood.

These calligraphy novels were first popularized in the Jiangnan area.

After that, it quickly spread across the country.

The image of a reckless man created in these books corresponds exactly to the Zhu family emperors before Chenghua...

The success of popular image creation - even the emperor had to change his appearance!

The meaning behind this...

Li Yan only felt that the middle coat he had just dried was wet with cold sweat again...

As noble as an emperor, he dare not grow a beard anymore...

Li Yan suddenly felt that the new home given to him by the emperor turned out to be a hot potato!

With just one sentence, Li Yan understood what the emperor meant!

He glanced at the emperor with resentment.

Too dark!

Didn't I just rebel...

You have already forgiven the leader Li Zicheng, why are you holding on to me?

Let me, a rootless "surrender", go against others...

Isn't this the birthday girl who always hangs himself - he is impatient with life!

Li Yan is a smart person, and he cannot be easily deceived.

The emperor's words made Li Yan understand his future mission - he was going to deal with Jiangnan's wealthy families!

God!

Li Yan looked down at his thin arms and legs...

He wanted to say:

"Your Majesty, even though we think there are ten of us, they can't hurt us.

However, this is not something that can be accomplished with force!

You always show your dignity and let me go..."

however……

Li Yan felt bitter.

Li Yan didn’t dare to say it!

He glanced at the emperor again.

God!

No wonder officials in private circles say that His Majesty is guilty...

You tricked our whole family into coming here, how dare I say no?

Li Yan felt miserable in his heart, but did not dare to show a trace of reluctance on his face. He lowered his head and accepted his fate:

"What does Your Majesty want me to do?"

Zhu Youjian laughed, looked at Li Yan who was tense and looked hopeless, and waved his hand gently.

Just this simple action almost scared Li Yan to death.

He just felt that his heart was about to stop.

After seeing the emperor waving his hand, his heart that was in his throat fell back to its original place.

Only then did he feel his heart beating violently...

"Li Yan, you are thinking too much!

On the Jiangnan side, I have made arrangements. "

"Hu~~"

Li Yuanchang breathed a sigh of relief. He collapsed on the chair as if he had received an amnesty.

Listening to the clear sound of relief in his ears, Zhu Youjian shook his head slightly.

'Am I that terrible? '

He glared at Li Yan before telling his plan:

"Li Yan, those songs you helped Li Zicheng compile are the key to Li Zicheng's success.

Yes, you are indeed capable of literature and martial arts! "

Zhu Youjian stared into Li Yan's eyes and smiled:

"But how does your martial arts compare to Fang Zhenghua?"

Li Yan was self-aware. He shook his head and seriously admitted that he was not good:

"Your Majesty has made it clear that there are many ministers who are not as good as Governor Fang!"

The fact that Fang Zheng used three moves to capture Liu Tichun spread throughout the world.

Liu Tichun was in the Dashun Army, and his personal martial arts skills were at least among the top [-].

That’s it, including the soldiers!

Among the 22 generals of the Five Battalions and Nine Marquises, Liu Tichun ranked among the top ten!

He, Li Yan, considers himself to be no mediocre player, and can even be called the only two powerful generals in the camp...

However, if he wanted to capture Liu Tichun, who was fighting him desperately, without any damage, at least he would be out of reach...
