After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he had two more preferences. One was to select beauties from the palace to serve him, and the other was to summon all the ministers in the Huangji Palace.

Needless to say, there are so many beauties in the palace. The so-called harem of 3,000 beauties, even if there are not 3,000, there are always thousands of beauties. Li Zicheng was so dazzling that he was so happy about it.

As for why he likes to summon ministers in the Huangji Hall, he mainly likes the feeling of being arrogant.

The warm pavilion of Huangji Hall is taller than that of a person, and it feels so good to sit on it and look down at everything.

People like him who came out of the desolate land of the border town, when they arrived at the magnificent Forbidden City, they were really a little intoxicated.

That morning, he was in the Qing Palace with his concubine Dou Meiyi, who was in love with him. A eunuch outside suddenly screamed: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Tang King of Nanyang is here."

This guy came quickly.

Li Zicheng said without hesitation: "Transfer to my oral orders to order all civil and military officials to come to Huangji Hall to meet him. What an envoy of the Tang King of Nanyang, let him wait first."

In fact, he has nothing to do with civil and military officials!

At this moment, there were less than a hundred civil officials and generals under his command, and only a dozen or twenty people could enter the Huangji Palace to meet, and most of them were military generals, and there were only a handful of civil officials.

However, he likes this tone.

The civil and military officials of the Dashun Dynasty met so slowly. After more than an hour, more than ten or twenty people gathered together. Li Yan's legs were a little sore when he stood outside the palace.

Finally, a spy's voice came one after another: "The envoy of the Tang King of Nanyang was sent to meet, and the envoy of the Tang King of Nanyang was sent to meet..."

Humph, it's just a bandit, what a bad air?

Li Yan walked into the palace calmly, came to the Huangji Palace, and then walked in with his head held high and his chest raised.

He entered the hall and swept it, and a strange look suddenly appeared on his face.

What a thing this is!

The civil officials and generals of the Dashun Dynasty were all like bandits, standing fiercely in the magnificent Huangji Hall, inappropriate.

Who do you want to scare?

He walked up calmly and bowed calmly: "Li Yan, the left minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, and the right assistant censor of the Censorate, met with the king."

King?

What king?

I am now the Emperor of the Dashun Dynasty, okay!

When Li Zicheng heard this, his brows frowned.

Seeing this, Niu Jinxing, the prime minister of Dashun Dynasty in the lower left, saw this and angrily scolded: "Bold, why don't you kneel down when you see our emperor?"

I'm kneeling!

Li Yan squinted his eyes: "Who are you? You are so unruly. If I talk to you king, why are you making trouble?"

I!

Niu Jinxing said angrily: "I am Niu Jinxing, the Prime Minister of the Dashun Dynasty. What are you?"

vulgar.

Li Yan said lightly: "Didn't I just say it? I am the left minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty and the right assistant censor of the Censorate. What kind of memory do you remember? You can't even remember what I just said. Just this, are you the prime minister?"

I!

Niu Jinxing is so angry, what does it mean that he can’t remember what he just said?

Me, I, I...

His face turned red and he didn't think of a rebuttal.

Seeing this, Li Zicheng frowned and raised his hand and said, "Forget it, Li Yan, right? What did King Tang ask you to do?"

Just fool you!

Li Yan pretended to bow solemnly: "King, the emperor received a secret report. The general of Shanhaiguan Wu Sangui has defected to Jiannu, and Jiannu is gathering a large army to capture the capital in one fell swoop, capture the king, and unify the world. Therefore, the emperor specially asked me to tell you so that you will not inexplicably fall into Wu Sangui and Jiannu's hands."

ah!

Li Zicheng was shocked when he heard this.

Did Wu Sangui defect to Jiannu?

Jiannu wanted to attack the capital and take him down!

True or fake?

Seeing this, Liu Zongmin, the general in the lower right, couldn't help but angrily scolded: "Don't fart, Wu Sangui's father and dozens of people are in our hands. If he dares to surrender to Jiannu and cannot get along with us, aren't he afraid that we will kill his whole family?"

Who are these people?

Li Yan squinted his eyes: "Who are you?"

Liu Zongmin said in a rough voice: "I am afraid of scaring you to death when I say it. I stand firm. Your grandfather, I am Liu Zongmin, the Marquis of Ru!"

Oh, it turns out it's you, a loser!

Li Yan sneered: "Do you think you are robbing the family? You also capture the family and threaten them. It is related to the success or failure of hundreds of thousands of troops. Do you think Wu Sangui will surrender for his family? Even if he wants to surrender, can Jiannu make him surrender? You have to figure out that conquering the world is not robbing the family. Don't play with those methods that cannot be played."

I!

Liu Zongmin was also flushed with a flushing face and speechless.

Seeing this, Li Zicheng raised his hand helplessly and said, "Okay, stop arguing. Do you think Wu Sangui will surrender to Jiannu if he surrendered to Jiannu? He has been guarding Shanhaiguan for so many years and blocking Jiannu from letting him go south. Jiannu probably hated him so much. He dared to surrender to Jiannu, aren't he afraid that Jiannu will kill him with his backhand?"

Li Yan said calmly: "King, the so-called great things are not about minor matters. He guards the world's number one pass. In order to win Shanhaiguan, would Jiannu care about such trivial matters? Besides, Hong Chengchou, the Grand Secretary of Jiannu's cabinet, is his old boss, and Zu Dashou, the general of the Han Eight Banners of Jiannu, is his own uncle. What is he afraid of? If Jiannu wants to kill him, he has to ask whether Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou agree with each other!"

Uh, this one.

When Li Zicheng heard this, his brows frowned again.

If Wu Sangui really defected to Jiannu, it would be troublesome!

Seeing this, Li Zicheng's wife Gao Yigong couldn't help but curl up and said disdainfully: "Who are you scaring? So what if Wu Sangui surrenders to Jiannu? Our Dashun Chaotian Army is still afraid that only Jiannu will not succeed?"

Li Yan also curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Wanli, Tianqi, and Chongzhen all think so. The Ming Dynasty's border troops have hundreds of thousands of elite troops and more than two million guards. Are you still afraid of mere Jiannu? So what's the result?"

Uh, this one.

Gao Yigong was speechless.

This guy is sharp-tongued and can't let him continue to talk. If he continues to talk, his morale will be in chaos.

Li Zicheng simply raised his hand and said, "Okay, is there any more to do? If you have something to say, get out of it if you have nothing to do."

Can you speak?

With just your face, you still become an emperor. Do you think you are the emperor when you wear a dragon robe?

Being a monkey with a crown!

Li Yan still said calmly: "King, the Jiannu cavalry is not a joke. The emperor is afraid that you will suffer losses, so he prepared some things specifically for cavalry. I wonder if you want them?"

When Li Zicheng heard this, he couldn't help but say curiously: "Oh, what's the matter? Tell me what."

Li Yan paused word by word: "100,000 caltrops, 10,000 thunders!"

"hiss......."

Kaltrops, thunder thunder!

Many people present have seen the power of these two things, and it makes people feel numb when they think of them!

The Jiannu cavalry is indeed difficult to deal with. If there are these two things, that would be great.

Yes, of course, it is necessary.

Don't be idle!

Li Zicheng was quite interested and said, "Where is the thing?"

Li Yan said seriously: "Such good things are not for free, you need to exchange them for something."

Li Zicheng said anxiously: "What, you said!"

Li Yan said solemnly: "Hanzhong, the emperor wants to go south to fight Zhang Xianzhong, but Hanzhong is like a thorn in his throat, which makes people feel assured. As long as the king is willing to give up Hanzhong, 100,000 caltrops and 10,000 thunders will definitely be sent to Tianjin Wei Wharf within three days."

Hanzhong!

Such an important place, can I change you to such a little thing?

Question, he really wants these caltrops and thunder.

When Li Zicheng heard this, his brows frowned again.

Seeing this, Song Xiance, the founding military advisor, couldn't help but mock him: "You King of Tang is probably crazy. Is it so important that Hanzhong gives up just by saying that it is?"

Li Yan said lightly: "The emperor just doesn't want to distract the king. Jiannu took advantage of the situation and seized the capital. Then he sent his official to talk to you. If it weren't for this, we will send troops to attack Hanzhong directly. Do you think you can defend it?"

Well, this is hard to say, because they didn't leave much troops in Hanzhong.

Li Zicheng thought about it and simply asked, "As long as I agree to give up Hanzhong, can I really go to Tianjin Wei Wharf within three days?"

Li Yan nodded without hesitation and said, "It will be here within three days."

Li Zicheng nodded slightly when he heard this, "Okay, Hanzhong gives it to you, you can go and get it. Iron caltrops and thunder are sent to me quickly."
