(Recommended reading: "Brother Li, if the emperor really keeps this killer weapon, then the person holding the holy decree will have the power to kill you!"

Unlike those who were worried about the crown prince and the people of King Fu who would catch fire at that time, Zhao Xin was keenly aware of an important matter, and couldn't help but look at Li Hongyu nervously and said, his words were full of concern.

Obviously, given Li Hongyu's close relationship with the New Army, once Li Hongyu supports King Fu, then even if the New Army is mobilized, it is very likely that he will be submissive under Li Hongyu's appeasement, and at this time, only Li Hongyu can ensure the command of the New Army.

Although Emperor Wanli valued Li Hongyu, he valued the stability of the Ming Dynasty more, so even if he was unwilling, he had to kill Li Hongyu.

"Unless he has an enmity with me, he will never touch me!"

Li Hongyu saw that Zhao Xin was worried about his safety, so he smiled and comforted, "The new army has been transferred, so I can't threaten either the prince and the king of Fu in the capital, so no one has time to pay attention to me, a powerless and powerless person, at such a critical moment, so naturally it will not harm the interests of the prince." ”

"I'm afraid, the emperor also wants to protect me by doing this, so that I can stay out of the capital and stay away from this power struggle, and only in this way is it most beneficial to the crown prince, the emperor's attention to the new army has exceeded my expectations."

Saying that, Li Hongyu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The emperor has been in charge of the world for nearly 50 years, and many things are much more long-term and safer than ours. ”

"Brother Li, do you have any clue about the people who may get the emperor's holy decree?" Zhao Xin bowed slightly when he heard this, and agreed with Li Hongyu's point of view, thinking that Emperor Wanli's move to transfer the new army was really unfathomable, and then asked in a deep voice, if you can find the other party, it will naturally be the best.

"The emperor is far-sighted, and he will definitely properly place the holy decree."

Li Hongyu pondered for a moment when he heard this, looked at Zhao Xin and said his analysis, "Concubine Zheng Guifei has made friends with all forces in the capital over the years, and she has firmly controlled the power of the harem, once the emperor is seriously ill, then the Forbidden City will be controlled by Zheng Guifei, and the imperial city will also be under martial law, and it will not be easy to get out again at that time."

”

"Brother Li, do you mean that the emperor has already asked people to bring the holy decree out of the capital?"

Zhao Xin immediately understood what Li Hongyu meant, and after hearing this, he asked in a deep voice, that holy decree is the most valuable item in the Ming Dynasty, and it is definitely not suitable to stay in the treacherous capital, if it is leaked, it will be a big deal.

Besides, since the decree was to mobilize the new army, it was supposed to be closer to the new army, so as to reduce the danger encountered on the way to convey it.

"This is just a guess on my part, the emperor is thoughtful, since the holy decree has been issued, he must have arranged a follow-up countermeasure."

Li Hongyu nodded, smiled and said to Zhao Xin, "In this way, things will be simple, as long as you check who in the imperial city has left the capital before the emperor issued that holy decree, then it is possible to find out who has the holy decree." ”

"It's not easy to find out who has been out of the Imperial City, let alone in the palace, even on the pro-army side, it's difficult for us to start." Zhao Xin's willow eyebrows suddenly frowned.

According to the order of the Ming Dynasty, the pro-army capital protectorate to which the pro-army belongs belongs to the pro-army has its own system, and the five military governor's mansion to which the Beijing army belongs belongs to two different systems, not to mention the civilian official group, even the Xungui group is difficult to get news from the pro-army capital protectorate.

In fact, the relationship between the pro-army and the Beijing army was not good, and the two sides were constantly in conflict, which on the surface seemed to be detrimental to the defense of the capital, but in fact this situation best ensured the safety of the imperial city.

If the pro-army and the Beijing army are in harmony, then there is no need for Emperor Hongwu to set up a pro-army capital to protect the palace, so that if someone in the capital of the five armies is plotting against him, then the defense of the capital will be in vain.

Therefore, the establishment of the pro-army was to check each other with the Beijing army, and both sides could perform their own duties to ensure the safety of the palace, which also meant that they could not get along with each other, and even if there were no personal conflicts, the emperor would artificially create grievances between the two sides.

Although Li Hongyu led the battle of Liaodong, there was not much intersection between him and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, so it was not easy to get even news of the Beijing army, let alone information about the pro-army.

"We have an acquaintance in the capital, and he can help with this." However, Li Hongyu was not too worried about this, and said to Zhao Xin after smiling slightly.

"Governor Li?" Zhao Xin was stunned at first when he saw this, and then his eyes suddenly lit up and remembered someone.

"I hope Governor Li can bring us useful news." Li Hongyu nodded with a smile and confirmed the identity of "Li Dudu" in Zhao Xin's mouth.

Li Dudu refers to Li Rubai's third brother Li Ruzhen, who has been re-transferred to the capital by Emperor Wanli a year ago with the easing of the war situation in Liaodong, and still holds the position of Jinyi Wei Dudu.

Zhao Xin and Li Ruzhen are not familiar with each other, but Li Hongyu has a very good relationship with him, Li Hongyu's two great victories in Liaodong undoubtedly saved Li Rubai and the Li family, and also helped Li Ruzhen a lot, and now Li Zhizhong is reused by Li Hongyu to become an important general of the new army, so Li Ruzhen will definitely help Li Hongyu this small favor.

Jinyiwei is not only the royal guard in the pro-army, but also has the power to supervise the pro-army, Li Ruzhen wants to find out who has recently gone home on vacation, this is the duty of Jinyiwei.

I'm afraid that Li Ruzhen couldn't think of Li Hongyu's intention in any case, and no one in the capital except Li Hongyu suspected that Emperor Wanli had issued a holy decree related to the new army.

The next morning, when Li Hongyu was on duty at the Hanlin Academy, he received news that Narentoya's brother Bahat had come to the capital to visit her, so he took a leave of absence and rushed home to meet Bahat.

With the Wanli Emperor seriously ill, the operation of the major yamen in the capital has been greatly affected, and now the officialdom in the capital is busy with the new emperor's accession to the throne after the death of the Wanli Emperor, and they are all thinking about how to intrigue at this time to seek greater benefits for the future, where is there still a mood to deal with official business.

Moreover, the Zhan Mansion has also stopped teaching the crown prince and grandson, and now the Forbidden City is heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to enter unless summoned.

Li Hongyu was also bored and wasted his time in the Hanlin Academy, and it was better to understand the situation of the Liaodong War and the situation of the Mongol expedition to the west from Bahat, so as to judge and deal with it.

Bahat was very happy to see Li Hongyu, gave Li Hongyu a big hug, and was very happy to see Li Hongyu, the two had not seen each other for more than a year since they parted last year.

Half a month ago, Bahat led the people of the Inner Khalkha Department of Mongolia to Guangning City with goods to do business with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, because the trade with the Mongols was in charge of Li Hongyu and adopted a policy of support to fight against the growing Jurchens, so the trade of the Inner Khalkha Department was very fruitful.

When the business affairs were busy, Bahat entered the customs and came to the capital to find Li Hongyu, first, to visit him and Naren Toya, and secondly, to go west.

Lin Dan Khan had already agreed to the proposal of the Inner Khalkha Ministry to conquer the Western Mongolian Walla Department and revive the Mongol Empire in the west, and appointed the Inner Khalkha Department as the main force of the Western Expeditionary Army, and the left wing of the Eastern Mongolian Empire sent troops to assist in the battle.

For the ambitious Lin Dan Khan, the revival of the Mongol Empire was his long-standing dream, but now the Mongol factions are fighting separately, so that his sphere of influence is limited to the left wing of the Mongol Empire, and he is not able to control all the left wing of the Mongol Empire, how to reproduce the glory of the Mongol Empire.

Now the Inner Khalkha Department actually took the initiative to ask for the Western Expedition, which is in the hands of Lin Dan Khan, and the Inner Khalkha Department is now becoming more and more difficult to control, so if the power of the Inner Khalkha Department can be weakened through the Western Expedition, if the Western Expedition is successful, then his territory will also expand, which can be described as beneficial and disadvantageous.

Therefore, since last year, the Inner Khalkha Department has begun to prepare for the westward expedition, and the Zalut and Hongjirat Divisions, which are located in the east of the five Inner Khalkha Departments, have begun a large-scale westward migration.

According to the explanation of the Inner Khalkha Division, the Zarut and Hongjirat Divisions will be the main forces of the Inner Khalkha Division, so that the troops in these two places will be empty, and it will be difficult to resist the invasion of the Jurchens and the Mongol Horqin Division.

Lin Dan Khan agreed with this explanation of the Inner Khalkha tribe, and he was most concerned about the westward expedition now, so he did not pay much attention to the westward migration of the Zalut tribe and the Hongjirat tribe.

In order to ensure that the territory of the Zalut and Hongjirat tribes after they moved westward would not be invaded by the Jurchens and Korqin tribes, Lin Dan Khan transferred personnel from the eight Chahar tribes to move eastward to the territory of the Zalut and Hongjirat tribes, and also to monitor the Horqin tribes and the Jurchens.

Among the Mongolian golden blood families, the Korqin tribe is the one that poses the greatest threat to the Chahar tribe, and it is also the tribe of the Modong Mongolian left-wing tribes that are the most unwilling to submit to the Chahar tribe, which makes Lin Dan Khan very wary of this.

In this way, Lin Dan Khan would directly compete with the Jurchens, and if he blocked Nurhachi's westward expansion, he would definitely break out into conflict with Nurhachi.

It's just that because Nurhachi suffered a loss under Li Hongyu's men, he is now busy with the war in Liaodong and is unable to meet Lin Dan Khan's army, so he sent people to form an alliance with Lin Dan Khan and not invade each other, so that Lin Dan Khan does not feel any pressure in the eastern region now.

Li Hongyu knows very well that when Nurhachi gains an advantage in the Liaodong battlefield, then he will turn around and deal with Lin Dan Khan, the so-called alliance is just a lifesaver for the weak, and the strong will never be bound by these waste papers.

From the current point of view, the Ming army still occupies an advantage in the Liaodong battlefield, Xiong Tingbi built the Liaodong defense line to make Nurhachi very uncomfortable, the Ming army relies on the city and checkpoints to hold out, once the Houjin army attacks, it will pay a lot of casualties, which is not what Nurhachi wants to see.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in Liaodong has increased greatly after Li Hongyu's reorganization, and if Nurhachi joins with the Ming army, it will simply kill himself, and the Houjin army does not have so many troops to consume with the Ming army.

During this time, the greatest consolation for Nurhachi was that he took back the city of Hetuala, to be precise, the Ming army voluntarily abandoned this place that had no military or economic value.

Li Hongyu captured it at that time just because he was the king of the Later Jin Dynasty and had important political value, but Li Hongyu used it to give an explanation to the imperial court, and he had no idea of occupying it at all, otherwise it would be a huge burden to the Ming army.
