As soon as Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance arrived at the big tent, they found that Li Zicheng's face was very scary, and they were suddenly shocked.
"Two prime ministers, let's take a look at this first!"
Li Zicheng pointed at the two things placed on the desk, his tone was a little cold, and there was a vague evil look on his face.
The two of them looked quickly and saw a bright yellow imperial edict and an opened letter on it.
The two of them were suddenly surprised.
One person picked up one, and just as he was about to read it, Li Zicheng's tone came again, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
"This was just when the guards were patrolling near the camp, they caught a spy and found it from his body. What do the two prime ministers think about this matter?"
At this time, the two of them had quickly read the contents of the edict and the letter, and their hearts were filled with shock.
This imperial edict turned out to be the edict of the young emperor conferring Li Yan as the auxiliary duke, and the content in the letter was even more terrifying.
It is said that Wu Sangui's army has arrived, and the time is ripe to act according to the strict plan. There is no need to delay anymore, and we can start at noon tomorrow.
As for what the plan is, there is no detailed explanation above.
Both of them are old foxes. With such a crude plan to alienate each other, I immediately figured out that it was the little emperor who was trying to sow discord.
But when King Chuang looked over with questioning and stern eyes, the two of them secretly glanced at each other and gritted their teeth.
"Okay! I didn't expect that Li Yan is actually a traitor who sells his goods for glory. He really knows people but doesn't know his heart!"
"No wonder he was delayed all night when he went to the city to negotiate several times. It turned out that he had colluded with the little emperor a long time ago and deliberately delayed the time, waiting for Wu Sangui's reinforcements to arrive, so as to cooperate inside and outside!"
"Your Majesty, fortunately we caught Xizuo today, otherwise it would be really dangerous if we were unprepared tomorrow!"
"Two prime ministers, do you think that Li Yan really betrayed Gu, took refuge with the little emperor, and wanted to put Gu to death?"
At first, Li Zicheng was just a little doubtful, so he called the two of them to discuss the details. Now after hearing what the two said, his tone became deeper and deeper, and the gloom on his face became heavier.
"Your Majesty, he and his wife have high self-esteem, and they are incompatible with the actions of our rebel army. Li Yan still has some illusions about Zhu Ming. Now that the little emperor has won over him with the title of Duke, how can he not be tempted?"
"Yes, when our army was in overwhelming strength, he might not have had second thoughts, but now that our army has been unable to attack for a long time, its morale is low, and its food and fodder are running out, it is not surprising that he wants to find another way out."
"Hmph! I wonder why he disturbed the morale of our army as soon as he came and took the initiative to suggest to the king to negotiate peace. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that he has long been thinking of selling out for glory."
The words between the two of them actually added fuel to the fire again, and they looked even angrier than King Chuang.
Sure enough, the veins on King Chuang's forehead had bulged, and his fists clenched loudly. Hearing this, he kicked the case to pieces.
"I'm so angry!"
"I, Lao Li, think that I treat them well as a couple, and even plan to marry them...Ah! How dare you bully me like this?"
At the end of the sentence, his chest heaved violently, showing how angry he was.
"Your Majesty, Military Advisor Li has arrived."
"Bring it in!"
At this time, the guard's report came from outside the door. Li Zili shouted loudly and his eyes widened.
"Your Majesty, two prime ministers, what exactly happened?"
As soon as Li Yan came in, he found the broken case, the extremely angry Li Zicheng, and the imperial edict and letter in the hands of Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, and he immediately asked suspiciously.
"Show him the letter and the decree!"
Li Zicheng stared at Li Yan and shouted.
Li Yan was startled. He looked at Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, who had sneers on their faces, and took the letter and imperial edict with some confusion.
Just one glance, and his face changed drastically. Cold sweat broke out in his eyes, and he understood what was going on.
"Li Yan, what else can you say?"
"Your Majesty, this is the little emperor's envoy's plan to alienate you. You must not be fooled. I am loyal to your Majesty. How could I do such a thing to seek glory?"
Li Yan fell to his knees and hurriedly explained.
"Hmph! Still want to quibble?"
"A plan to divorce? Do you really think that I, Old Li, are a three-year-old child?"
"Come here and bring the fine work."
At this moment, Li Zicheng was already overwhelmed with anger. He couldn't listen to his explanation and yelled at the door.
Immediately, two guards escorted a tall man with a swollen nose and bruised face in.
"Kneel down!"
"Evil thief, you have to do whatever you want to kill or behead me. If I frown, I will be your grandson!"
Xizuo was forced to kneel on the ground and continued to yell and curse loudly.
This scene undoubtedly made Li Zicheng even more furious.
"Seeing that you are also a man, I recruited you from a real point of view. Gu can give you a happy life, otherwise Gu will make your life worse than death!"
"Bah, trespassers, don't be complacent, your death is not far away, haha! Mr. Li, the villain takes the first step, your majesty will avenge us..."
There was no fear on Xizuo's face. When he got close, he spat a mouthful of thick phlegm right into Li Zicheng's face. Then with a fierce force, he broke free of the two hands pressing on his shoulders and bumped into Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng was spat on the face with a thick mouthful of phlegm. He lost consciousness for a moment and did not avoid it. He was hit in the face with his head. He was hit hard. He screamed and fell on his back.
"Your Majesty..."
Everyone was shocked. Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance rushed forward to help King Chuang up. The two guards also captured Xizuo again and beat him severely.
When the guards outside heard the commotion inside, they all rushed in.
"Ah! Pull him out for me and chop him into pieces with knives... Quickly, chop up this bastard for me!"
Li Zicheng's nose collapsed due to the impact, and blood mixed with thick phlegm flowed into his mouth. He screamed in pain and roared in anger.
"What are you still doing? Didn't you hear the king's order?"
"Quickly drag this spy and his accomplice Li Yan out and cut them into pieces."
Song Xiance rolled his eyes and immediately shouted to the guards.
The guards were a little hesitant, but it was obvious that the king did not refute, so they had no choice but to pull Li Yan out.
"Your Majesty, this is the little emperor's treacherous plan!"
"If I really colluded with the little emperor and had already discussed it in the city, how could I send a spy here specially and still be caught..."
"Your Majesty, I am loyal to your Majesty, and the sun and the moon can tell you..."
Li Yan yelled anxiously, but at this time Li Zicheng was so dizzy from the impact that he grinned in pain and couldn't hear what he was saying.
It wasn't until Li Yan's shouting suddenly stopped and the sound of chopping meat came from outside the tent that Li Zicheng became more awake.
After being helped up by two people, they realized that Li Yan was no longer in the tent, and immediately shouted: "Wait..."
Unfortunately it's too late.
The guards had already walked in holding Li Yan and Xizuo's heads.
"Your Majesty, the traitor Li Yan is dead, but the red lady is still there. Your Majesty, you can order her to be summoned for execution on the spot, and then you can remove her accomplices, otherwise there may be trouble!"
Niu Jinxing looked at Li Yan's head and felt happy. Looking at the uncertain King Chuang, he suggested.
At this moment, Li Zicheng had completely calmed down. Looking at Li Yan's head, recalling everything in the past, he felt that he might have really wronged him.
But the deal was already done, so he didn't say anything more, but nodded and said to the captain of the guard: "You go to Beiying immediately. Commander Chuanhong comes to the Chinese army's tent and says that we have important matters to discuss, so don't show off your feet."
,do you know?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The guard captain Liu Shan clasped his fists and walked out of the tent.
