Chapter 744: Play

After listening to Li Hongyu's explanation, Zhao Xin realized Youlan's hard work, and her heart was suddenly moved. Bayi Chinese Network =≠≠.=

In fact, in the eyes of others, Zhao Xin, who shows off in women's clothes, is not a "red face", I am afraid that there are more men than Youlan who are willing to become ministers under her skirt.

"Okay, we haven't drunk a glass of wine just now!" Li Hongyu let go of Zhao Xin in his arms, put his finger in his mouth and whistled loudly.

Zhao Xin was a little puzzled by this, but the next moment there was a sound of messy footsteps outside the courtyard gate, and a group of maids walked in quickly.

Under Zhao Xin's surprised gaze, the maids began to dress her and Li Hongyu, and the lights and candles in the entire courtyard were lit and brightly lit.

"I've seen my sister!"

After the two of them finished dressing up, Qin Yue, Youlan and others entered the room, saluted Zhao Xin with a brush, and officially met Zhao Xin, the head of the Li family's back house.

"Sisters, get up." Zhao Xin's cheeks suddenly turned red when he saw this, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Qin Yue and the others.

"Sister, you finally changed into women's clothes, it's so beautiful!"

Qin Yue and the others immediately surrounded Zhao Xin, stared at her and praised her appearance, which made Zhao Xin's cheeks ruddy, but she felt very happy in her heart, after all, women want to hear other people's praise.

Li Hongyu looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, he didn't expect that he now had a group of wives and concubines, and he didn't dare to think of such a day before.

Due to Zhao Xin's special identity, it was Qin Yue and others who came to the "haunting room", but Zhao Xin was already very satisfied, after all, she never thought that she would marry Li Hongyu one day, so she drank a glass of wine with Li Hongyu with ruddy eyes.

Zhao Xin knows very well that from today onwards, her life will go to a completely different trajectory from before, a life path that should have belonged to her.

On the third day after marriage, Li Hongyu led Zhao Xin to the Li family villa in the county seat, where Zhao Xin saw Zhao Deyi with a beard on his face, and couldn't help but throw himself into Zhao Deyi's arms and burst into tears.

If Zhao Deyi hadn't told Li Hongyu the truth back then, then she would not have become Li Hongyu's wife and would have been alone for the rest of her life.

Zhao Deyi's eyes were also moist, and he reached out and gently stroked the show on Zhao Xin's head, secretly glad that he had made the right choice back then, and finally made Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin lovers finally become married.

After meeting Zhao Deyi, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin left Baihe Town, and the two of them were ready to take advantage of this rare time to visit the great rivers and mountains of Daming and appreciate the customs and customs of various places, but there would be no such opportunity in the future.

The reason why Li Hongyu wanted to leave Baihe Town was naturally to avoid Zhao Xin's identity as a goof, and by the way, he was also on a honeymoon to give Zhao Xin a good compensation.

In late August, Wudang Mountain.

Wudang Mountain is a Taoist holy place, located in Junzhou, Xiangyang Prefecture, and is naturally a must-visit place for Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin.

Although Li Hongyu is a native of Xiangyang Mansion, he has never been to Wudang Mountain before, and he was busy studying hard in the academy before the imperial examination, and after the nomination of the gold list, he went to the northeast and west, and fought in the south and the north, where did he have time to come to Wudang Mountain.

It is worth mentioning that in the Ming Dynasty, because of the royal respect for Taoism, Wudang Mountain was named "Taiyue" by the Yongle Emperor, and was respected as the supreme royal family temple, and was famous for the prominent position of "the crown of the five mountains" of "the four famous mountains are all arched, and the five immortals and mountains are the same dynasty".

This morning, the Golden Dome.

The golden dome is the highest place of Wudang Mountain, and it is also the most sacred place, although the place is not big, there is only one bronze pavilion golden palace, but the hall has three unique places in the world:

The first is that the lotus seat cornerstone supporting the Golden Palace has no connecting lines, the second is that there is a pure gold brick left by the Yongle Emperor on the beam of the Golden Palace, and the third is the inextinguishable magic lamp that has been burning for three hundred years in front of the Zhenwu Emperor.

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin went to Wudang Mountain to pay homage to the Zhenwu Emperor, and the two knelt in front of the golden statue of the Zhenwu Emperor and prayed sincerely, and then left the sesame oil money.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhao Xin still shows people in men's clothes, otherwise it will definitely attract a lot of lustful people, although Li Hongyu is not afraid of those guys, but this will sweep the interest of the two.

"This son, please stay."

Not long after Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin walked out of the Golden Palace with a smile, a little Taoist priest caught up and handed Li Hongyu a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and then made a gesture and said in a deep voice, "My master said, I don't want the sesame oil money of the son, if the son has time, I don't know if he can paint a golden portrait of the Zhenwu Emperor." ”

"Let me paint a portrait?" Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, then laughed, and said to the little Taoist, "It's an honor to be here." ”

"Two sons, please!" The little Taoist priest was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and made a gesture of please, inviting Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin in.

"The road is dustless, and I bother the two sons." In a side room, Li Hongyu saw a middle-aged Taoist leader and smiled at him and Zhao Xin.

"Dao Chief, why did you think of asking Zai Xia to paint a portrait of Emperor Zhenwu?" Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin bowed back to Wuchen, and then asked with some curiosity.

"It's not a secret, Poor Dao went to Jiangnan once two years ago, and he has a relationship with Gongzi." Wuchen smiled when he heard this, and opened his mouth to explain.

"Two years ago, Jiangnan?" Li Hongyu immediately fell into a memory, at that time he should have been busy with the affairs of the Customs Department as Li Sheng in Jiangnan.

Subsequently, Li Hongyu came back to his senses and knew why Wuchen asked him to paint a golden statue of Emperor Zhenwu, and it turned out that he recognized him as the first genius of the Ming Dynasty "Huguang Li Sheng".

"Since the Taoist chief is so loving, then he will be ugly." Thinking of this, Li Hongyu replied with a smile after bowing his hand to Wuchen.

Wuchen's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked the little Taoist priest to bring a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and he recognized Li Hongyu, the first genius of the Ming Dynasty, so he came to ask Li Hongyu for his ink treasure.

Li Hongyu then sat on the desk and splashed ink, and soon completed a portrait of the Zhenwu Emperor, vivid, with all the forms and spirits, and wrote the words "Huguang Li Sheng" at the signing place.

"Good painting, good painting!" Wuchen picked up the painting and looked at it, and applauded, at a glance, the Zhenwu Emperor on the painting was lifelike, as if resurrected, this kind of painting skills are not something ordinary people can learn.

"Two sons, it's noon now, if you don't dislike it, stay for a meal and leave." Then, Wuchen asked the little Taoist priest to carefully put away the picture scroll and invited with a smile.

"It's fine." Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin glanced at it and nodded, wanting to taste the taste of Wudang Mountain's vegetarian food.

Wuchen then asked the little Taoist priests to bring the food to the room, a bowl of rice, two dishes of vegetarian dishes, although it looks quite simple, but it tastes quite refreshing and delicious.

"Master, Junzhou Zhang Zhizhou is here, and I want to ask Master to count a hexagram."

Just when Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin finished eating their food, a little Taoist priest entered the room, bowed down and said to Wuchen.

"Wait a minute, the two sons will come when they go to the poor road." Wuchen was talking to Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin about the origin of Taoism, and got up and left when he heard the words.

"It's weird, why did Junzhou Zhizhou come to the mountain at this point?" After Wuchen left, Zhao Xin couldn't help but ask Li Hongyu with some curiosity.

It's noon, and it doesn't seem like the governor of Junzhou, as the local parent official, should not have come here in such a hurry.

"There must be some trouble, otherwise he would have asked the Dustless Dao Master to tell him a fortune." Li Hongyu smiled slightly, the people in the government worship Buddha and seek Taoism for the sake of their careers, so Zhang Zhizhou of Junzhou must have something to do with his career this time.

Li Hongyu guessed correctly, Zhang Zhizhou did come for his career this time, and the reason why he hurried over was because of a major event in the imperial court.

"Alas, it seems that the court is going to be in chaos for a while." After Wuchen came back, he sighed and said helplessly, "In the end, it is the people who suffer!" ”

"The results of Jingcha are out?" Li Hongyu's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and then asked tentatively, now the only thing that can make the court chaotic is Jingcha.

"Gongzi guessed correctly, the results of Jingcha came out, and more than 300 officials were implicated, degraded, withdrawn, and punished." Wuchen nodded when he heard this, and said with a worried expression, "The party above the court is the same and the people are suffering!" ”

Wuchen naturally didn't know the true identities of Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, and thought that Li Hongyu was the first genius of the Ming Dynasty in the game world, "Huguang Li Sheng", so he commented on the government in front of him, otherwise he would never talk about the court, after all, the monks should not pay attention to the worldly things.

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and then smiled helplessly, Wuchen was right, the officialdom in the capital was serious, and the two of them were helpless even if they were in high positions.

"Xianggong, it seems that this time the people of Jingcha Donglin have won a complete victory, and the Qichu and Zhejiang factions are greatly injured."

On the way down the mountain, Zhao Xin couldn't help but sigh to Li Hongyu, "Why are these people in Donglin so anxious, do they have to break the rules of officialdom?" ”

Zhao Xin's "rules of officialdom" naturally refers to the balance of power in the officialdom, although the Donglin Party is dominant, although it seems to be infinitely beautiful, but their enemies will also be transformed from the registered clerks of the defeated Qi, Chuzhe, and other factions to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and then evolved into a struggle between vassals and imperial power.

"They think they can restrain the emperor, but don't they know that this is the emperor's plan to capture and indulge." Li Hongyu smiled bitterly when he heard this, "They despise the emperor too much, the emperor has been by Wanliye's side for so many years, and the art of controlling the emperor is far away." ”

"Xianggong, will the emperor really be heavy-handed to the people of Donglin?" Zhao Xin hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and then asked with some disbelief, does she want to see the situation in the court become chaotic, and at that time, as the dustless Taoist said, it is still the people who suffer.

"They have just successfully swept away the political enemies in the officialdom and controlled the government of the Ming Dynasty, so the next target is naturally the emperor, the emperor is now waiting for them to make a move, and the officials of Qi Chuzhejiang will definitely wave the flag and shout for the emperor, and the emperor's discordant plan is really beautiful."

Li Hongyu nodded solemnly, the reason why the Emperor of the Apocalypse vigorously supported the Donglin Party in Jingcha was to divide the civil official group in the court, so as to help it break through one by one, and then control the various factions in the court.

It's a pity that there are very few people in the court who can see the thoughts of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and everyone still treats him as a young son of heaven, and he will definitely be hit hard by the Emperor of the Apocalypse if he is careless.

"That's fine, when the emperor controls the situation of the dynasty, the political arena of the Ming Dynasty can be stopped." Zhao Xin believed Li Hongyu's guess, and then said helplessly, even Li Hongyu had to retreat from the conflict between the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the Donglin Party, let alone her.

"We are out of sight and out of mind, and the emperor definitely doesn't want us to return to Beijing before the overall situation is decided, so we can travel through this great river and mountain with peace of mind."

Li Hongyu smiled and nodded, his eyes flickered a little, Zhao Xin would never know that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would die young, which accelerated the pace of the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, Li Hongyu doesn't know if the Emperor of the Apocalypse will die so early like history, what he can do now is to keep expanding his power and firmly hold his fate in his own hands.

Soon, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin knew the results of Jingcha, except for a few people who escaped this catastrophe by luck, the Jingguan impeached by **Xing and Sun Wei were all punished to varying degrees.

Among them, Qi Shijiao, Zhao Xingbang, Guan Yingzhen and Wu Liangsi, who were known as the four murderers, lost their posts and resigned, and officials of the Qichu and Zhejiang party factions, such as Wang Shaohui, Xu Zhaokui, Xu Dahua and others, who were regarded as "****", were all dismissed.

Even those centrist officials who did not form a party in the DPRK and China, and those who did not agree with the Donglin party and government, were put into the category of "****" and then driven out of the capital.

For a time, the government of the two capitals was controlled by the officials of the Donglin Party, and the "History of the Ming Dynasty" recorded: "Fangdonglin is prosperous, Luo Tianxia is clear, and there are people who are different from each other, and criticism will follow." Those who attack Donglin are fortunate to be close to themselves, and the aid is important, so the neutral class is inevitably defiled by villains. ”

Because the Donglin Party swept the officials of the Qichu and Zhejiang party factions in Jingcha and controlled the power of the court, it called itself "Donglin is prosperous, and the people are in the dynasty".

In other words, the officials of the Donglin Party believed that the court at this time was the best, and the court was full of honest and loyal people.

After learning of the results of Jingcha, Li Hongyu knew that Qi, Chu, Zhejiang and other factions would become history, and in the face of the aggressive offensive of the Donglin Party, the officials of those factions would unite to form a faction against the Donglin Party.

This means that in the future, there will only be a distinction between Donglin and non-Donglin parties in the court, which will definitely make the struggle between the two sides more intense.

Don't look at the Donglin Party after Jingcha, swept away the opposition factions in the DPRK and China in one fell swoop and seized control of the court, but the real winner was indeed the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who used the Donglin Party to defeat the Qi, Chuzhe and other parties, so that the power of the civil official group suffered heavy losses, and it was no longer possible to unite to deal with the imperial power, which can be described as extremely clever.

It is conceivable that those officials of non-Donglin factions in the court who have been excluded and suppressed will definitely take refuge in the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and then become an important pawn of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to deal with the Donglin Party.
