In the middle of September of the third year of the Apocalypse, less than ten days after Li Hongyu returned to Beijing, there was an incident in the court of the Taihe Hall that shocked the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Sounds ww

On the grounds that the war situation outside the Guanxi was becoming increasingly severe, he asked the Emperor of the Apocalypse to transfer Li Hongyu, a scholar of Zuochunfang University, who had achieved great victories in Liaodong, to Korea to build the Yalu River front, and to attack the Jiannu in Liaodong with the Ming army in western Liaoning.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the hall, including the Donglin Party, no one thought that the superintendent would make such a request, although his excuse was high-sounding, but anyone could see that he wanted to transfer Li Hongyu out of the capital.

As for the reason, the civil and military officials at the scene were all clear in their hearts, and with the progress of Jingcha, the battle between the Donglin Party and the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang was almost white-hot.

The arrival of Li Hongyu boosted the morale of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, which were at a disadvantage, and also made the Donglin Party, which had the upper hand, feel jealous, and it was inevitable that they would be afraid to do things.

Since Li Hongyu returned to the capital, his family has not been idle for a day, and every day important officials from the three parties of Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, and Donglin have come to visit, and they have mentioned the affairs of Jingcha side by side.

The three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang naturally hoped that Li Hongyu could say good things to them in the court and in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, while the people of the Donglin Party "knew that Li Hongyu was righteous" and hoped that he would not intervene in this Jingcha dispute on the grounds of Zhongxing Daming.

Li Hongyu can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted by this, and he feels extremely depressed and helpless in his heart, now there are Jurchens who rebelled in Liaodong, and there are Western countries that are trying to colonize the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has fallen into a dangerous situation, but the upper officials of the imperial court are busy with party struggles and power and profit, which really makes him feel disappointed and regretful.

When the overseer of the imperial history started to play in the main hall, Li Hongyu couldn't help but glance at him in surprise, it was obvious that the reason why this imperial history suddenly mentioned that he was going to North Korea was arranged by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

From this point of view, it seems that the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not remain idle after ascending the throne, but secretly cultivated forces loyal to him, and this supervising imperial history is the cronies supported by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and broke into the camp of the Donglin Party to monitor the Donglin Party.

According to the discussion between Li Hongyu and Emperor Tianqi, in order to avoid disagreements in etiquette and law, Li Hongyu did not go to North Korea as an envoy to North Korea, but to go to North Korea as a special envoy to deal with matters related to Houjin, so that the rules would not be broken.

"Your Majesty, this move must not be, Scholar Li is my assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he should be in the capital, how can he go to North Korea in danger?"

At this time, when the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang were fighting to the death with the Donglin Party, so soon some officials of the Zhejiang Party loudly expressed their opposition, "Now that Xiong Jingluo and Governor Wang have run Liaodong as solid, how can they work Li University?" ”

The Zhejiang Party can be said to be one of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, the most powerful, and the Donglin Party is also the most fierce, so it is definitely necessary to oppose the transfer of Li Hongyu, and now let Li Hongyu go to North Korea to show that he wants to weaken the strength of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, which can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows.

"Yes, Scholar Lee can't go!" Immediately, the officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang in the main hall spoke in favor and did not agree to transfer Li Hongyu.

"Your Majesty, now that Guanwai spends a lot of taxes and silver every year, if Scholar Li can contain part of Jiannu's troops from North Korea, it will be of great benefit to our Liaodong official army to defeat Jiannu."

Since the superintendent of the Donglin Party camp had already asked whether Li Hongyu went to North Korea to provoke the war between the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang Parties, the Donglin Party naturally could not show weakness at this time, so an official of the Donglin Party said loudly after leaving the shift.

"Scholar Lee once defeated Jiannu, and this trip to North Korea is none other than Scholar Lee."

Naturally, a number of officials of the Donglin Party echoed it, and in the eyes of the hostile camp, right and wrong were no longer important in the eyes of the hostile camp, and there was only one goal, that is, to defeat the other party.

"Hmph, how can Scholar Li have time to go to North Korea when he is busy with official business? I don't think you want to defeat Jiannu, but you have another shady purpose! ”

An official of the Qi Party saw that the Donglin Party wanted Li Hongyu to go to North Korea, thinking that this incident was a trick planned by the Donglin Party people a long time ago, so he sneered and looked at the Donglin Party official and said.

"Now that overseas trade has been carried out smoothly, Scholar Li can completely withdraw and go to Korea, and the sooner the war in Liaodong ends, the sooner the people can recuperate, isn't this our duty?"

At this time, a Donglin Party official shook his head, looked at the Qi Party official solemnly and asked, "Is there someone who is unwilling to rest with the people?" ”

"Some people openly hope that the people can live a stable life, but in private they seek personal interests under the banner of caring for the people, which is really shameful!"

Without waiting for the Qi Party official to speak, a Chu Party official standing not far away replied coldly, and looked at the officials of the Donglin Party camp with contempt.

"Alas!" Seeing that the officials of the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang Parties began to be filled with a strong smell of gunpowder before they could say a few words, Li Hongyu couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart, it seems that a quarrel will be inevitable.

Sure enough, what happened next confirmed Li Hongyu's guess, and the officials of the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang parties in the hall had a fierce quarrel, and the past grievances between the two sides were quickly implicated in the matter of whether he went to North Korea, and the situation at the scene gradually became chaotic.

Emperor Tianqi sat coldly on the dragon chair of the Taihe Palace, looking at the officials of the Qichu and Zhejiang parties and the Donglin Party who were arguing like vegetable vendors regardless of their demeanor, and the performance of those officials at this time could be described in four words - Sven swept the floor, who would have thought that these court officials who had read poetry and books would quarrel with no image?

"Li Aiqing, what do you think of this?" Seeing that the quarrel at the scene was becoming more and more intense, and some emotional officials even began to push, Emperor Tianqi secretly shook his head helplessly, and asked Li Hongyu who was standing in front of His Highness's queue in a deep voice.

It's ridiculous to say, Li Hongyu hasn't spoken yet, and the rest of the people have already made a mess about whether he will go to North Korea, and as for whether Li Hongyu will go or not, Emperor Tianqi will naturally ask for his opinion.

Hearing this, the noisy hall immediately fell silent, and people looked at Li Hongyu with concern, wanting to know what his thoughts would have an important impact on the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"Your Majesty, now that the war situation outside the customs is in a stalemate, the minister feels that if he can open up another front, it will be of great benefit to my officers and troops outside the gates."

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Hongyu pondered for a while and then replied quietly, he only clarified his views on the war situation outside the Guan, and did not clearly state whether to go to North Korea.

In fact, Li Hongyu's answer has already declined to go to North Korea, otherwise he would not have said it so tactfully, it stands to reason that he should go to North Korea to help Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen and share the pressure on their shoulders.

But then again, Li Hongyu is a member of the Chu Party after all, and now that the struggle between the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang and Donglin parties has reached a critical moment, how can he choose to leave at this time?

However, how could Li Hongyu, as an auxiliary minister of the Ming Dynasty, refuse the opportunity to contribute to the country, and the war situation outside the border was not favorable to the Ming Dynasty, if he directly refused to go to North Korea, once the Ming army was defeated in Liaoxi, it was inevitable that someone would associate him with today's refusal.

Therefore, Li Hongyu adopted a tactful way to express his thoughts, which not only gave an explanation to the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, but also made it impossible for outsiders to gossip, after all, he did not explicitly refuse the matter.

After listening to Li Hongyu's words, the officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang breathed a sigh of relief, they were really afraid that Li Hongyu would agree to go to North Korea, and their situation would be even more difficult if Li Hongyu left.

"Your Majesty, what Scholar Li said is very true, the war situation outside the Guanxi is very important, in order to exterminate and annihilate a new battlefield should be opened up in Korea, so that Jiannu will suffer from the enemy, end the war as soon as possible, and rest with the people."

At this time, an official of the Donglin Party shouted to Emperor Tianqi, "The minister believes that this matter is related to the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty and the well-being of the people, and the candidate for going to Korea must be a scholar of Li University." ”

"The ministers seconded it!" When the officials of the Donglin Party heard this, they all agreed, and they naturally wanted to beat Li Hongyu away, so that they could go all out to deal with the people of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang.

"Your Majesty, Scholar Li has just returned to Beijing, and he is physically and mentally exhausted, how can he work again when he should recuperate at this time?" Naturally, officials from the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang would not sit idly by, and an official of the Zhejiang party hurriedly raised his voice against it.

"Please find someone else!" As soon as these words came out, the people of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang immediately echoed one after another, how could they let the people of the Donglin Party get their wish?

"Your Majesty, now is the moment of the decisive battle between my Liaodong Ming Army and Jiannu outside the Guan, and there is no room for mistakes, and the minister feels that no one can take on the heavy task of going to North Korea except for Scholar Li."

Seeing that the people of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang and the Donglin Party were about to quarrel again, the former Shanxi Provincial Inspector Yushi, who proposed that Li Hongyu go to North Korea to open up a new battlefield against Jiannu, shouted, "Scholar Li is indeed tired, but Jiannu is a big trouble for my Ming Dynasty, and the minister believes that Scholar Li will be willing to serve the country, be loyal to the king, and seek benefits for the people!" ”

"Your Majesty, after all, Scholar Li is my Ming Dynasty's auxiliary minister, the country's important minister, so the ministers please let the Right Chunfang Zhao Scholar assist Li Scholar, the two scholars are young talents, the mainstay of my Ming Dynasty's future, two of them will go to North Korea, and the extermination of Jiannu will be just around the corner!"

As he spoke, the Shanxi Provincial Inspector Yushi Yufeng turned around, solemnly proposed a solution to alleviate Li Hongyu's heavy official duties, and aimed the finger at Zhao Xin.

With a bang, there was a commotion in the hall, including the officials of the Donglin Party, none of the civil and military ministers at the scene thought that the Shanxi Provincial Supervision Imperial History would actually hit Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu are regarded as the future leaders of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, and if the two leave now, it will have a great impact on the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang.

Especially Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin has been staying in the capital unlike Li Hongyu, and has a good relationship with all factions in the capital, and is a close minister trusted by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
