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

Li Yan was about to report on the celestial phenomena, but was overtaken by his good brother.

He was stunned, turned around and saw Niu Jinxing's inexplicable gaze, and Fang Fang looked back.

No one is a fool.

It was this look that made Li Yan break into a cold sweat.

His wife Hong Niangzi and his brother Li Nian returned to Runing Mansion (Xinyang).

Runing and Nanyang, where Emperor Ming is located, are adjacent to each other!

Emperor Ming's power has extended to Guangdong and Guangxi, and even a few days ago, several prefectures and counties in Shaoguan sent Qiu Fu to Emperor Ming's new capital.

Under the Ming Emperor's cunning manipulation, Zuo Liangyu, who was crazy about grabbing grain and robbing, threatened the local government with troops at every turn. Those originally selfish officials and gentry were really forced to have no choice.

If he doesn't pay taxes to Emperor Ming, Zuo Liangyu will rob his family.

The officials were helpless and had no choice but to "abandon their cars to save their commanders". The mere taxation was nothing compared to our net worth...

They took it seriously...

And all of this is Sun Zhenglan's plan.

Sun Zhenglan told Zuo Liangyu to first let the officials throw a little money, and then squeeze them little by little. Ask for a little today and a little tomorrow.

As long as General Zuo's army is in hand and they are not cornered, the officials will not dare to resist.

After the sand has accumulated into a tower, Zuo Liangyu will be able to monopolize the grain trade in Guangdong and Guangxi...

Zuo Liangyu believed it...

The results are pretty good!

……

With Li Yan's eyes, he can naturally see through it at a glance:

Guangdong and Guangxi are about to return to the rule of Emperor Ming.

However, Emperor Ming did not send anyone to occupy the land of Henan and Runing adjacent to Nanyang...

Even under Chen Qianfu's guidance, the Henan landlords Liu Hongqi, Guo Huanglian, Li Zhenhai, Li Jiyu and others had begun to implement the Ming Emperor's policies and clearly showed their intention to obey the Ming Emperor's court. The Ming Emperor never sent troops into the hinterland of Henan. …

Li Yan didn't know what Emperor Ming had in mind.

but……

There is a saying - if yellow mud falls into your crotch, it is either shit or shit!

His wife lives in Runing, and she can be said to live next to Emperor Ming.

However, the Ming Emperor was able to let an "invading army" lie on his side...

You want to say that there is no hook here...

Who believes?

Li Yan can’t explain it clearly!

Even though his wife knew that the red lady who was stunned by her "appearance" really did not hook up with Emperor Ming.

A middle-aged man with white hair, the red lady doesn’t like him...

but!

This is like a pile of shit on the ground. The dog came and bit into half of it and then ran away. You just happened to eat a piece of durian...

And he fell!

He was even seen getting up from the ground.

Can you explain that you really didn't eat shit?

Even if the smelly durian in my mouth is not feces, I still can’t explain it!

……

Li Yan glanced at Song Xiance gratefully and said nothing.

This small gesture was enough to prove Brother Song's sincerity towards him.

He remembered Brother Song's great kindness.

Song Xiance walked a step in front of Li Yan and then stood still.

His small actions showed his affection for Li Yan.

Song Xiance bent down and said:

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

Li Zicheng smiled and pointed at Niu Jinxing and Li Yan with his finger.

He could clearly see the small movements of several people.

Li Yan is a talented person who is not only good at literature and martial arts, but also not greedy for merit.

If you give a reward, others will accept it; if you don't give it, others will not take credit.

Coupled with the series of battles in the Taihang Mountains, Li Yan has made a lot of contributions.

It's not that Li Zicheng doesn't have the tolerance to tolerate others.

Although he fled the capital in a hurry and was confused, under Niu Jinxing's persuasion, he started to have thoughts that he shouldn't have.

But, isn’t that just dizzy!

For a wise general like Li Yan, Li Zicheng cannot have too many!

As for Niu Venus...

Although Ox Venus behaves a bit like a villain, and is also small-minded, she is quite jealous of the virtuous.

However, in a country's court, the most taboo thing is for all ministers to be monolithic.

Niu Jinxing is the jester in his hands.

If used well, not only will the throne be permanent, but it will also be able to separate the courtiers from each other, so that he can be in charge of Dashun!

Li Yan, Song Xiance, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi and others are his Li Zicheng's swords.

It is his invincible weapon.

Niu Jinxing is his knife sheath that drives the knife without hurting himself!

Li Zicheng clearly understood the thoughts of his three important ministers.

He didn't expose it and said immediately:

"Song Qing, just tell me if you have something to do."

Song Xiance put his hand behind his back and moved his fingers slightly to ask Li Yan to step back.

It wasn't until Li Yan took a step back silently that he spoke:

"Your Majesty, the three ministers just saw something strange in the sky, so they climbed up the mountain to check it out."

When Li Zicheng heard this, his smile instantly froze. He waved his hand to dismiss the attendants, and asked Wang Dehua to guard the palace gate himself.

Then he said:

"Song Qing just says it clearly, there are only four of you and me here!"

Song Xiance gritted his teeth and told how he discovered something strange in the sky in the morning, and how he summoned Niu Jinxing and Li Yan to climb the mountain for inspection and divination.

Moreover, the three people's inferences were also told to Li Zicheng...

……

After listening, Li Zicheng's expression changed.

"Is this true?"

Song Xiance nodded bitterly.

Li Zicheng looked at Li Yan again.

Li Yan also smiled bitterly:

"Your Majesty, I agree with Brother Song and Brother Niu."

Li Zicheng looked at Niu Jinxing.

Niu Jinxing really wants to say that this is a blessing from God.

However, with the facts before him and Song Xiance and Li Yan by his side, he had no choice but to tell the truth:

"Your Majesty, this Lord has caused great chaos in the world, and the people of the country are all in disgrace..."

Li Zicheng's face was uncertain. He pondered for a long time and seemed to have made up his mind.

Li Zicheng stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice:

"You come with me!"

The three of them followed Li Zicheng and walked to the side hall.

"General manager, hang up the map sent by Emperor Ming."

Li Zicheng ordered Wang Dehua.

Wang Dehua bowed, took out the key he carried with him, opened a secret box, and took out a map.

Then he stepped on the stool, unfolded the map, and hung it on the wall.

"This is……"

Li Yan's eyes suddenly widened.

Niu Jinxing's eyes almost popped out.

Song Xiance's eyes were focused on one spot, his eyes flickering and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Zicheng took a deep breath:

"This was sent by Emperor Ming a few days ago."

Li Zicheng slowly exhaled.

This map is extremely well drawn. Not only are the mountains, rivers, villages and towns listed one by one, but even the distances are marked.

However, what shocked Li Zicheng was not the map, but the asymmetrical couplets on both sides of the map:

"Go west to Anxi for nine thousand and nine hundred miles;

The West Ji Road is nine thousand nine hundred miles long. "

Emperor Ming said that he did everything according to the Tang Dynasty system. Not only did the titles of officials restore the old Tang Dynasty system, but even the names of the yamen were modeled after the Tang Dynasty system.

This calligraphy is from the Datang Road stele erected at Kaiyuanmen at that time.

Emperor Ming said that in the far west of the Tang Dynasty, from Chang'an to the western border of the Tang Dynasty, the distance was twelve thousand miles...

……

Even though Li Zicheng had already looked at it countless times, looking at this territory map, he still couldn't hide his shock.

Li Zicheng was in such a bad situation, let alone Song Xiance and the other three.

The huge Western Region on the map was like a heavy hammer, hammering into the hearts of the three of them.

The couplets on both sides are more like knives stabbing into the heart...

……

Niu Jinxing woke up first, his eyes twinkling.

After His Majesty knew about the celestial phenomena, why did he bring them to see this map?

Niu Jinxing, who was kindly trying to figure out his superior's intentions, couldn't help but start to wonder about Li Zicheng's intentions.

Song Xiance, on the other hand, was eyeing a place beside the Han River.

There was originally a mountain range, but a city was clearly marked with a red pen.

There is also a huge word "Handu".

Looking at this four-color map, Song Xiance's eyes gradually became distracted.

……

The red circle is the location of the Han capital under Zhu You's test. If it has Luoyang Plain as its head, Nanyang Basin as its body, and Zaoyang Passage and Suizhou Passage as its feet, it will be a human figure.

The original picture is in Chapter 438.
