Why was Li Yan, an important adviser of Li Zicheng, killed?

It was because of Li Zicheng's other military advisor, Zhang Xiance didn't like Li Yan, so he made up a lie and asked Li Zicheng to kill Li Yan.

Because Li Yan knew one of Li Zicheng's thoughts, based on a traditional thought, he committed suicide.

Because Li Yan's strategy sometimes unconsciously said Li Zicheng's taboo, coupled with the villain's setup, Li Zicheng killed Li Yan.

Because Li Zicheng himself was a leader who rose up through the peasant uprising, his advisor Li Yan was also killed because of Li Zicheng's distrust.

Li Yan's suggestion will unconsciously commit Li Zicheng's taboo, in fact, Li Yan's status in the army is not necessarily as high as imagined, so Niu Jinxing's framing is in Li Zicheng's arms.

Li Yan himself has a difficult task as a strategist, but there are also many villains, so it is naturally difficult to escape the disaster of blood and light.

The ancient imperial court is like a river and lake, the slightest carelessness is a matter of losing the head, it is estimated that Li Yan said something that Li Zicheng didn't like to hear.

I think it's mainly this strategist, he should be in the way of some people, so he will be assassinated.

Because he has helped Li Zicheng with advice for many years, he has also offended many people, and if Li Zicheng hadn't protected him at that time, he would have been killed long ago.

Even Li Zicheng will be killed, not to mention that he is a strategist, and in ancient times, dealing with a person began by pulling out his minions.

Li Zicheng killed the strategist Li Yan because Li Zicheng was a very suspicious person; The second is the bull Venus sowing discord in the middle; In addition, Li Yan and Li Zicheng are not all the way, and Li Zicheng does not listen to Li Yan's advice; In the end, Li Zicheng is afraid that Li Yangong will be the master. <>

We all know that Li Yan is Li Zicheng's advisor, Li Zicheng originally admired Li Yan very much, and killing Li Yan was equivalent to breaking his arm. I think there are a few reasons why he did this.

First of all, Li Zicheng is very suspicious and very wary of the people around him. Li Zicheng is a military general, and he has always been on the edge of the knife, he is very wary of the people around him, and it can be said that he is relatively easy to be suspicious. In addition, Henan is Li Yan's hometown, and he has married the female general Red Lady, which is their base.

Li Zicheng was afraid that Li Yan would rebel at this time, so he would rather let me bear the people of the world than let the people of the world bear me, and simply kill Li Yan to avoid the disaster. <>

Secondly, Bull Venus sows discord between them because of jealousy. Niu Jinxing's level is about the same as Li Yan's, but he is narrow-minded, a despicable villain with a dark heart, and he can do whatever it takes for the sake of profit. He can't get used to seeing Li Yan with a good background and high prestige, and we can also say that Niu Jinxing and Li Yan are not the same kind of people at all, so he stabbed people in the back, looking for an opportunity to slander him, and poured dirty water on Li Yan, so that Li Zicheng, who was already suspicious of Li Yan, killed Li Yan.

In addition, Li Yan and Li Zicheng are not all the way, so his opinions are not accepted, and Li Zicheng is offended everywhere. Li Zicheng's subordinate Liu Zongmin and other generals carried out frenzied looting after entering the city of Beijing, extorting gold and silver treasures, and also capturing the beautiful Chen Yuanyuan. Li Yan believed that if he wanted to win over Wu Sangui, the army could not offend Wu Sangui.

But Li Zicheng ignored her opinion. <>

In addition, there is a saying that Li Yan's limelight is higher than Li Zicheng's. Li Yan is indeed very talented, and he is deeply popular, and he has a little bit of Liu Bei's feelings. At the beginning, Li Zicheng was also afraid that Li Yan would be too popular, and in the end, he would overshadow the master and take the limelight, so he was actually wary of Li Yan in his heart, or he was dissatisfied with him for a long time.

The above is the reason why Li Zicheng killed the strategist Li Yan.

Mainly because the Taurus of the strategists around Li Zicheng became jealous of Li Yan's development, and added fuel to the fire, Li Yan's credit became bigger and bigger, and Li Zicheng was a little jealous, so he chose to kill him. The reason is that Li Yan's birth is prominent, and the two are not all the way.

Li Yan's development aroused the jealousy of the strategist Taurus Xing around him, Taurus Xing has been fueling the trouble, and in terms of strength, Li Zicheng is more jealous of the other party, so he will kill him. The reason is that the two people have different views, different family backgrounds, and relatively large disparities in strength.

Li Zicheng thought he would stand in the way of his career. And some people say that he has taken refuge in Li Shimin. So he struck first.

Li Zicheng was afraid that Li Yan had other plans, so he killed him. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng rebelled, and Li Yan was the most famous in the uprising team. Because he was a very famous strategist, he also won a lot of hearts after putting forward the slogan of welcoming the king and not paying food.

After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng withdrew from Beijing. At that time, Li Zicheng had already controlled many regions, and he also had a million male army, which shows that his form was still very good. But at the most critical time, he killed his advisers, and finally there was a phenomenon of civil and military disagreement, which led to self-destruction of the future.

When Li Yan first met Li Zicheng, the two talked very well, and Li Zicheng also praised Li Yan a lot, and more importantly, he also expressed his positioning for Li Yan. And some of Li Yan's early behaviors gave him a good reputation and support, he once scattered his family wealth and his political performance was very good, so while receiving the support and attention of the common people, he also received good treatment. At that time, he could have revolted, but he was unwilling to revolt.

There were a lot of hungry people who hoped that he would lead the uprising. <>

And his reputation among the people is getting higher and higher, so you can also see that Li Yan at that time, whether it was prestige or his own background, had a little bit of Liu Bei's meaning. But Li Zicheng was not Cao Cao, and Li Zicheng was switching to war at that time, so he needed Li Yan to help him. However, both of them are surnamed Li, and Li Zicheng's suspicion of Li Yan has long been doomed.

The king is lying on the couch, how can he allow others to sleep soundly, and Li Yan is such a phenomenon. He made a lot of military achievements, and more importantly, he also led the rebel army to glory. Among them, his dedication is no less than that of Li Zicheng.

Probably because of this, Li Zicheng killed Li Yan in the end, which was also to regain his own prestige, but his behavior also led to his destruction.

Because Li Zicheng felt that the strategist Li Yan had already threatened his position, and it was very likely that his plan would be exposed, so he killed him.

Because Li Zicheng was provoked by the villain, I know the reason, because Li Zicheng thinks that Li Yan is going to betray him and will take refuge in Li Shimin.

Because many of his behaviors had a certain impact on Li Zicheng, and it also brought great problems to his career and the country, he was killed, which is the reason.

Because Li Yan is a rare talent, with a very good character, and a high reputation and prestige, Li Zicheng was worried about him, listened to slanderous words, and killed Li Yan; Because he was afraid that Li Yan would seek power and usurp the throne, he regarded Li Yan as a thorn in his side, and he couldn't wait to get rid of him.

Because Li Zicheng thinks that Li Yan is very far-sighted, but he has certain obstacles to himself. And at this time, Li Zicheng happened to fail, so he killed him.

Li Yan's credit is too great, the merit is high, they are from different backgrounds, and the classes they represent are different, and Taurus is fueling the flames because of jealousy.

To put it bluntly, Li Yan's death was actually determined by the class contradictions between him and Li Zicheng, or rather due to their different political aspirations. Li Zicheng was a robber at best, burning and plundering in the name of an uprising, and he was only limited to personal pleasure, without the means and courage to rule the world. Li Yan hated the corruption of the Ming Dynasty and hoped to establish a new dynasty of peace after overthrowing the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yan made a plan and made great contributions to Li Zicheng's overthrow of the Ming Dynasty. But when Li Zicheng became the emperor of the soil, the banditry was even more exposed, tortured hundreds of officials, and burned and killed the people, which was even better than that of the Ming Dynasty. These behaviors made Li Yan disappointed in Li Zicheng.

In addition, Li Yan's personality is upright, and he dares to speak outright in front of Li Zicheng, and offends villains such as Niu Jinxing. And Li Zicheng will not tolerate a person who once helped him overthrow the Ming Dynasty and knows himself very well, but has different ideas from him, to continue to stay by his side, let alone let Li Yan be used by the enemy. So as long as someone fanned the flames, it would not be strange for Li Zicheng to kill Li Yan, the above is a personal analysis.

There are different opinions, but I prefer to follow this one:

According to the official history, Li Yan's original name was Li Xin, a native of Qixian County, Henan, and the son of Li Jingbai, the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's military department. Because he strongly persuaded the local government to stop collecting harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and took out the food stored at home to help the victims, he offended the local ** and the gentry, and ** was imprisoned. When Li Zicheng's troops broke through Qixian, he was rescued from prison, so he surrendered to Li Zicheng, and was later named a general for his merits.

Judging from historical records, Li Yan was born in a prominent family, and he was originally from a different class from the peasant rebel army. At first, he may have been appreciated by Li Zicheng because of his talent, but Li Zicheng was born as a peasant after all, and he had his class conservatism. Later, the more Li Yan showed his talent, the more unhappy he became, and even suspected that one day Li Yan would replace him, so he started to kill.

After Li Zicheng was stationed in Beijing, he gradually alienated Li Yan, and military discipline began to be scattered.

According to me, there are only a few things I know: 1. Li Yan's ability is too strong;

2. Li Yan has a Li Jiazhuang army of his own, and it is quite strong;

3. In Li Zicheng's army, he has quite high prestige and appeal;

4. The military merit is very great, and the merit is high and shocks the Lord.

History has always been like this, just Zhuge Liang and Liu Waibei were surprised!

"King Chuang" Li Zicheng killed Li Yan mainly for these reasons, first of all, the two have different backgrounds, Li Yan was from a prominent background, his father was the governor of Shandong, and Li Zicheng was indeed from the peasant class, and the two were not all the way. At the beginning, Li Zicheng did appreciate the talented Li Yan very much, but as Li Yan's status in the army became higher and higher, and he was appreciated by more and more people, Li Zicheng began to worry about him, and gradually alienated Li Yan, and finally led to listening to slander and killing Li Yan.

The second reason is that Niu Jinxing, who was also Li Zicheng's adviser at that time, added fuel to the fire. At the beginning, Niu Jinxing was recommended to Li Zicheng by Li Yan, and Niu Jinxing did have some talent, but later Niu Jinxing was arrogant, greedy for power, jealous of Li Yan's status, and even wanted to get rid of Li Yan and replace him.

Indeed, Niu Jinxing later found an opportunity to slander Li Yan, and Li Zicheng just found a suitable excuse, but unfortunately Li Yan finally got Li Zicheng's cup of poisonous wine. At that time, it can be said that Li Yan also had the heart to die, with his prestige and status in the army, if he wanted to leave, it was not impossible, but because he had long been disappointed in Li Zicheng, he knew that he had already become a thorn in Li Zicheng's side, and Li Yan, who had the world in mind, calmly accepted this cup of poisonous wine.

Li Yan is also a rare talent, all-round talent in civil and military affairs, very upright conduct, likes to fight grievances, has a righteous heart, and his reputation and prestige in the military camp at that time were very good, which made Li Zicheng have concerns about him. But if Li Zicheng didn't have so many worries at that time and didn't have Niu Jinxing's help, then Li Yan would be Li Zicheng's most powerful assistant, and the final outcome would be very different.

The main reason why Li Zicheng killed Li Yan, a strategist who was bent on plotting for him, in addition to Niu Jinxing's frame-up, was that Li Zicheng was too narrow-minded and narrow-minded.

Li Zicheng was one of the leaders of the peasant rebel army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and was once a person who was favored by luck and fate, and was the first person to break through the capital and end the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that Li Zicheng can't get rid of the consciousness of small farmers in the end, and he is always fascinated by the little bit of small profits in front of him, and he has only entered the capital not long ago, and he has put most of his energy on how to make money.

But as long as he has a little pattern, the most important thing to do at that time is to stabilize the situation, and then send an article, while winning people's hearts, while announcing various problems of the Zhu family, so that he can occupy a dominant position in righteousness, so as to justifiably replace the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Li Zicheng not only has no pattern, but he also has no ability to control the rabble under his hands.

Li Yan has been committed to assisting Li Zicheng to lead the rabble army to regularization, get rid of the rogue nature of the rebel army, and become an army that can really be used to fight the country, and has formulated a relatively complete and feasible plan for Li Zicheng.

But it is precisely because of this that Li Yan offended many people.

Why did Li Yan's approach be obviously right, but he offended so many people? Because once the army is regularized, once there is a system, then everything has to be done according to the system, then the generals under Li Zicheng will not be able to reap the benefits as they like.

The key is that Li Zicheng himself also feels troublesome, he is fighting to grab money and food, but Li Yan jumped out and told him, King Chuang, you must not do this, you have to take out money and food to send to the people, so that the people will belong to you!

What would Li Zicheng think? If I don't rob money or food, what else should I be king? It's no taste to be alive.

Li Yan has offended many people, but if Li Zicheng can support Li Yan, his prestige in the army may not be able to suppress most of the opposition and let Li Yan carry out his plan.

Although Li Yan has been imperceptibly "transforming" Li Zicheng, some people's patterns are born and cannot be changed at all, and Li Zicheng is such a person.

Therefore, Li Yan seems to be very highly regarded by Li Zicheng, but in fact he does not receive Li Zicheng's wholehearted support.

Li Zicheng just treats Li Yan as a night pot, when he can use him, Mr. Li is longer than Mr. Li, and when he is not needed, he is directly stuffed under the bed.

At this time, Niu Jinxing, who wanted to replace Li Yan as the first strategist under Li Zicheng, jumped out at the right time, provoked the relationship between Li Zicheng and Li Yan, and said a few words about Li Yan's plot against him.

The reason why Li Zicheng was provoked so easily was that his vision was too small, second, he didn't know how to recognize and employ people, third, he was narrow-minded, and fourth, because he never really trusted Li Yan.
