What happened to Yan Li, an important counselor in Li Zicheng?

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng became king for several months. He also had many advisers, and Yan Li was a very famous adviser at that time. However, Yan Li ended badly. He was framed by Chu Zhuangwang and Niu Jinxing and lost his life.

Yan Li's original name was Xin Li. When he was young, he won the imperial examination. He is also very good at martial arts. He is both civil and military and a chivalrous man. In his early years, he followed Li Zicheng's advice. As the most important adviser under Chu Zhuangwang, he made many contributions. But because of his great contribution, outsiders only knew Yan Li, the counselor, but didn't know that there was another king, Li Chuang Zicheng, which made Li Zicheng begin to fear him.

There is also a counselor under King Chuang, and this person is Niu Jinxing. There was once a charlatan who divined for Chu Zhuangwang and came to the conclusion that "eighteen sons are the main artifacts". It means that the Li family18th generation will make great achievements, and this charlatan is also at odds. Just as Niu Jinxing didn't like it, the warlock revealed to Niu Jinxing that he was also surnamed Li, indicating that he might be eighteen sons. He has betrayed Chu Zhuangwang, just at this time, Yan Li begged to go to Henan. If you really let him go to Henan, it will leave a curse for King Chuang and hinder his future. So Niu Jinxing consulted with King Chuang, fearing that it would come true, and Niu Jinxing assassinated Yan Li in the name of hosting a banquet in the army.

Li Zicheng, after all, is a peasant, and he has no big picture. After he won a little honor, he felt conceited and only focused on pleasure. After Yan Li's death, many advisers left him because of his fatuity and helplessness, and finally the regime established by Wang Chuang collapsed. Niu Jinxing, who killed Yan Li, got no benefit. Finally, he surrendered to the Manchu government, but the Manchu government looked down on his character. Niu Jinxing eventually died of old age at home.
