Imperial City, Jingshan, Guande Hall Spiritual Hall. Tian Lai Xiao' said.2.

"Li Hanlin, the imperial concubine Niangniang announced that you will go to Kunning Palace." When Li Hongyu was guarding the spirit of Emperor Wanli, an attendant walked in and said to him in a sharp voice.

Li Hongyu naturally didn't know about Li Fusheng's affairs, and thought that Concubine Zheng Guifei was going to win him over, so he quietly followed the chamberlain to Kunning Palace.

To Li Hongyu's surprise, when he arrived at Kunning Palace, Qin Yue was actually there, talking with Princess Shouning and Zhu Wanting accompanying Concubine Zheng Guifei, and Ran Xingrang stood aside in an orderly manner.

This made Li Hongyu's brows suddenly frown slightly, thinking that Zheng Guifei wanted to use Qin Yue to coerce and lure him to serve King Fu.

However, Li Hongyu soon realized that he had guessed wrong, because Ran Xingrang then told him about Li Fusheng as it was.

"Li Hanlin, how do you think the imperial court should handle this matter?" After Ran Xingrang finished speaking, Concubine Zheng stared at Li Hongyu and asked slowly, wanting to hear his opinion, Li Hongyu was an important party.

"Imperial Concubine Niangniang, the lower officials feel that this is the mourning period of Emperor Daxing, and it is not appropriate for the imperial court to touch this matter, it is better to wait for the new emperor to make a decision after he ascends the throne."

Li Hongyu didn't expect Zhang Guang to dare to ignore the imperial court order to attack the Li Mansion, and he suddenly felt angry in his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he said to Zheng Guifei quietly, and he couldn't see the slightest psychological fluctuation instead of being very calm.

"Hongu thinks so too."

Zheng Guifei replied with a smile after hearing this, secretly sighing in her heart that Li Hongyu's calmness did not show the slightest anger, which made her feel a little surprised, and then asked, "Where do you think those who raise troops in vain to cause war should be locked up?" ”

"Imperial Concubine Niangniang, the lower officials feel that since they have entered the lower officials' house, it is better to stay there for the time being, otherwise it is indeed inconvenient for them to go anywhere with their current status."

Li Hongyu bowed down when he heard this, and replied in an orderly manner, now the situation of the generals and others with the national character face is very embarrassing, whether it is Zhang Guang's side or the civilian official group, they want to get them, so the safest place is the Li Mansion.

"That's fine."

Zheng Guifei nodded again when she heard this, this is indeed a good idea, for her, the current national character face general and others are a hot potato, and it is good to throw it to Li Hongyu.

"Li Hanlin, because your original mansion was seriously damaged, this palace has decided to give you a new mansion in the inner city."

Afterwards, Concubine Zheng said to Li Hongyu with a smile, "When you go back, you can see your new house." ”

"Emperor Xie Guifei Niangniang." Li Hongyu bowed to Zheng Guifei when he heard this, and thanked Zheng Guifei, he had already guessed that Zheng Guifei would give him a new mansion, he could imagine the devastated appearance of the Li Mansion, and it was not suitable for so many people to continue to live inside.

"Li Hanlin, there have been people who have been neglecting recently, thinking that King Fu should replace the crown prince and inherit the throne, what do you think about this matter now?" Concubine Zheng pondered for a moment, looked at Li Hongyu with a smile and asked, wanting to know if Li Hongyu's attitude had changed.

"Imperial Concubine Niangniang, the crown prince is the prince selected by Emperor Daxing, and the lower officials think that the prince is not at fault, and it is not appropriate to replace the prince."

Li Hongyu thought about it carefully when he heard this, and solemnly bowed to Concubine Zheng and said, since he had chosen to be loyal to Emperor Wanli before, he would naturally not change his mind, and that kind of villain would be criticized by people.

"Li Hanlin is loyal to the imperial court, and the palace is very relieved, and I hope that Li Hanlin can make persistent efforts in the future and make new contributions to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty." Concubine Zheng Guifei suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, but she didn't expect Li Hongyu's attitude to change at this time, so she said with a smile, knowing that it was not a simple matter to let Li Hongyu take refuge in King Fu.

After leaving Kunning Palace, Li Hongyu returned to the Guande Hall with a heavy heart, it was difficult for him to contact outsiders before the new emperor ascended the throne, even just now he just chatted with Qin Yue for a few words, Zheng Guifei looked at him very strictly, for fear that he would pass on the news to the outside world.

After the battle in the Li Mansion last night, Concubine Zheng Guifei's attention to Li Hongyu has increased by another point, she never expected that Zhang Guang, who has a large number of soldiers, could not even capture a small Li Mansion in one night, so that the situation has reached this point, it is really a little hard to believe.

However, this also reflects the great value of Li Hongyu from the side, not only is his literary brilliance brilliant, his military attainments are even more admirable, and the combat effectiveness of the new army trained is simply unexpected, and this is exactly what the Ming Dynasty needs.

The reason why Li Hongyu was worried in his heart was that he could clearly feel from Concubine Zheng's words that King Fu was ready to ascend the throne, and there was not much time left for him. But Zhao Xin has not heard from him yet, and he can't help but feel a little bottomless in his heart, not only worried about the matter of seizing the heir, but also concerned about Zhao Xin's safety.

In addition, Li Hongyu is also worried that the civilian-official clique will fight back, and the officialdom in the capital will definitely be in chaos at that time, and God knows what will happen.

Li Hongyu's hunch is very accurate, the civilian-official clique has indeed begun to brew a counterattack, and the leader is none other than his fellow countryman Yang Lian, who is very important to him.

Since King Fu entered Beijing, Yang Lian knew that King Fu's motives were not pure, and Sima Zhao's heart was well known to passers-by, so he was the first to take the lead, hoping to drive King Fu out of the capital, but unfortunately failed.

Now the situation in the capital is becoming more and more unfavorable for the crown prince, and after the nobles who supported the crown prince with the British duke were hit hard, Yang Lian believed that the civil official group should come forward at this time, otherwise it would be difficult for the prince to inherit the throne this time.

Therefore, Yang Lian has been running around the capital these days, uniting the civil officials in the capital to prepare to support the prince, otherwise the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty will be taken away by King Fu.

When he learned about Li Fusheng, Yang Lian knew that the civil official group could no longer be silent, otherwise King Fu would cut off the forces supporting the prince one by one.

Therefore, Yang Lian led a group of officials in the court who supported the prince to meet with the cabinet assistant Fang Congzhe, and wanted Fang Congzhe to take the lead in the palace to support the prince, so that King Fu and Zheng Guifei knew that the prince was not a lonely family and had the support of the civil official group.

Fang Congzhe felt a lot of headaches about this, as a cabinet assistant, how could he not know King Fu's thoughts, but now that King Fu has gained the upper hand in the battle for succession, he is determined to win the imperial power, and now to provoke King Fu is not looking for his own death.

Besides, King Fu had already euphemistically stated that he wanted to ensure the position and status of the Zhejiang Party in the court, so it would be very unwise for him to intervene in this matter again.

Seeing that Fang Congzhe didn't want to get involved in the battle between the crown prince and King Fu, Yang Lian suddenly felt very disappointed in his heart, and then went to find Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the ministry, but was also politely rejected by Zhou Jiamo, who belonged to the court and belonged to the centrists, he didn't want to make a big deal during the mourning period of Emperor Wanli.

As for who can be the emperor between the crown prince and King Fu, this question seems to have become much simpler when King Fu has already controlled the military power in the capital, the kind of officials who really want to die are only a few after all, anyway, they are all the heirs of Emperor Wanli, who will be the emperor?

Yang Lian touched the wall twice in succession, and the complexity of his mood can be imagined, but he is not the kind of person who is wise enough to protect himself, and he is more stubborn, and in the eyes of the outside world, he has the pedantic spirit of the literati, and he can't accept the usurpation of King Fu, so he decided to support the prince with practical actions.

Not only the Donglin Party, but also many civil officials in the court, especially those of small and medium-sized factions, stood behind Yang Lian and agreed with Yang Lian's loyalty to maintain the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the two or three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, compared with the previous dynasties, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were proud of "following the gram", not only to the emperor, but also to the important ministers of the court are often sneering, and to be the emperor's court staff as the highest pursuit of life, as if the emperor ordered to beat the board after being able to show its loyalty and not afraid of power.

Of course, the civil officials also boasted and flattered those civil officials who were beaten by the court rod, and those civil officials who accidentally played big and were cut off by the emperor became the object of people's worship.

This phenomenon of selling fame and reputation was particularly serious among the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, especially among the officials, as if they had no face among their colleagues in the court if they had not been beaten by the emperor or had been confronted by the emperor, and many people were eager to do so.

Emperor Jiajing was enraged by the civil officials, and collectively scepted those who offended him, and killed several people for this.

It's a pity that Emperor Jiajing, who wanted to kill chickens and monkeys, not only did not restrain the civil officials in the court, but intensified their efforts to "force the palace", as if they were begging for Emperor Jiajing's court staff, which made Emperor Jiajing have to give up his calculations.

When Emperor Wanli took charge of the government, he was naturally harassed by civil officials like Emperor Jiajing, which was caused by a trend in the officialdom at that time, coupled with the tradition of treating literati well in the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor was regarded as arrogant by the literati.

Emperor Wanli's personality was more stubborn and tougher than that of Emperor Jiajing, so after combining a series of factors, he took decisive measures to stop filling the vacancies of the most violent civil officials, who were good at empty talk and infighting, and neglected government affairs.

This made a large number of vacancies in the supervision of the imperial history and the giving of affairs among the officials except Hanlin, which became a major evidence of the Wanli Emperor's negligence.

That night, the outer city, Bada Hutong.

In the private room of a green building, several young people who looked like sons and brothers each hugged the beautiful girl, staggered with each other, talked and laughed, and enjoyed the performance of the singing and dancing girl while drinking, and the atmosphere of the scene was extremely warm.

However, a young man in a blue shirt at the wine table was a little different, sitting alone and drinking, not hugging left and right like the others, and frowning slightly with a preoccupied look.

"Brother Sima, do you have something on your mind?" Seeing that the blue-shirted boy looked a little absent-minded, a boy with two charming girls in his arms asked with a smile.

"Little Hou Ye, I'm thinking about what will happen to the new army in Shanhaiguan after the last encirclement and suppression!" Hearing this, the blue-shirted boy bowed to the boy who spoke, and said with a solemn expression, "If Li Hongyu encounters danger, maybe the new army from Shanhaiguan will come to the capital." ”

"The new army is coming, so why delay it until now?" When the boy brother heard this, a look of disdain flashed at the corner of his mouth, "Li Hongyu wants to be a loyal son and a good minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he will definitely not ruin his reputation, and King Fu is not thin on him!" ”

"Little Hou Ye, since Hou Ye has already turned his face with Li Hongyu, it is better to keep doing it and cutting the grass and eradicating the roots."

Seeing that the boy who was called Little Hou Ye looked indifferent, the blue-shirted boy frowned, raised the palm of his right hand, made a gesture of cutting off his head with a serious expression, and said with a cold gaze, "Although the new army is very capable of fighting, Li Hongyu is now alone in the imperial city, as long as the Hou Ye wants his life, then he will definitely die!" ”
