Chapter 722: Four Murderers

The capital, the young master's house.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse just issued a holy decree yesterday to enshrine Li Hongyu as a young master, and the door plaque on Li Hongyu's mansion became the "Young Master's Mansion", which can be described as infinitely glorious.

The "three dukes" of the Ming Dynasty, the Taishi, the Taifu, and the Taibao, as well as the "three orphans" of the young master, the young master, and the young bao, are the top titles in the officialdom, and the greatest pursuit of civil and military officials in their careers.

Generally speaking, officials with important official positions in the Ming Dynasty can obtain the titles of "Three Divisions of the East Palace" of the Crown Prince and Taishi, the Prince and the Prince, as well as the "Three Masters of the East Palace" of the Crown Prince, the Young Master of the Prince, and the Crown Prince of the Prince, to show the emperor's attention and grace.

For example, Liaodong Jingluo can be awarded the title of "Prince Taibao".

Unlike the Third Division of the East Palace and the Three Young Masters of the East Palace, the Three Dukes and the Three Orphans are more difficult to obtain, and generally speaking, those important officials of the imperial court will be posthumously awarded by the emperor after their deaths.

Taking the Taishi of the Three Princes as an example, before the middle of the Tianqi Dynasty, there were only three people who could be enshrined as Taishi when they were alive, one was the first British Duke Zhang Fu in the Xuande period, one was the Jinyi Wei Governor 6 Bing during the Jiajing Emperor period, and the third was Zhang Juzheng in the Wanli period.

In other words, in the more than 200 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only three ministers were able to be appointed as Taishi when they were alive, among which Zhang Fu and 6 Bing were honorable nobles, and Zhang Ju was a civil official.

Maybe others don't know who Zhang Fuhe and 6 Bing are, but many people know how Zhang Juzheng is, which shows the preciousness of the titles of Sangong and Sangu.

According to the custom, when he was alive, he obtained the door plaque of the civil official mansion of the three dukes and three orphans, which corresponded to his title, and Li Hongyu was able to enter the title of young master, so the "Li Mansion" became the "Young Master's Mansion".

As for why the military ministers did not have this rule, it was because the military ministers who won the title of three dukes and three orphans in the Ming Dynasty were all nobles of the imperial court, and the titles of the nobles belonged to the product, so naturally the three dukes and the three orphans could not be used as the door of the house, so it would belong to the degraded product.

Li Hongyu had been busy in the Forbidden City for a day, and when he returned home, night had fallen, and Qin Yue had already prepared a reunion dinner, waiting for him to come back in the living room with Naren Tuoya, Chen Ting, Rou'er and others.

The moment she saw Li Hongyu, Qin Yue's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell like beads with broken threads, the danger of the battle of Shimen Mountain made her feel palpitations, if it weren't for Naren Toya's insistence on going to Shimen Mountain to support Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu would probably die in Shimen Mountain, how could he, as an auxiliary minister of the Ming Dynasty, surrender!

Not only Qin Yue, but also Chen Ting, Rou'er and others also burst into tears, they had already learned about the tragedy of the Battle of Shimen Mountain from Naren Toya, and they were all worried about Li Hongyu.

Li Hongyu's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and his heart was quite moved, so he stepped forward and wiped the tears on the cheeks of Qin Yue and the others with a smile, and comforted them softly.

With the arrival of the year of the weak crown, Li Hongyu is about to hold a big wedding, and after the big wedding, he will take Qin Yue, Chen Ting, Rou'er and others as concubines and give the Li family a branch and leaves.

Although Qin Yue and the others were worried about Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu returned safely after all, so the atmosphere of this reunion dinner was very warm and relaxed, Li Hongyu and Qin Yue and others talked and laughed happily, and from time to time the laughter of the women sounded like silver bells.

"Brother Yu, when will you return to your hometown?"

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Qin Yue remembered something, so she asked in a coquettish voice.

It is no secret that Li Hongyu wants to go home to marry a wife in the capital, but to everyone's surprise, the person Li Hongyu wants to marry is not Qin Yue, but a family affair set by his father, and the bride is said to have gone to the Western Regions in her early years and never met him.

For this reason, those civil and military magnates in the capital have sent people to the Li family in Baihe Town, Jiangkou County in advance to send congratulatory gifts.

Because Qin Yue has stayed by Li Hongyu's side since he came to Beijing to take the examination, there are many people in the outside world, especially the female relatives of those powerful people in the capital, who are upset with Qin Yue, thinking that Qin Yue should enter the Li Mansion.

Qin Yue seemed very calm about the discussion of the outside world, and smiled, since she decided to fight with Li Hongyu, she was not ready to fight for the status of a wife, as long as she could be with Li Hongyu.

Of course, Qin Yue is naturally not the kind of person who is willing to be subordinate, but in terms of talent, background, and feelings for Li Hongyu, how can she compare to Zhao Xin, who is willing to disguise herself as a man and step into the official career to protect Li Hongyu?

What makes Qin Yue feel relieved is that Li Hongyu takes good care of her, although she has not passed the door yet, she has already controlled many affairs of the Li Mansion, and she will not be wronged and neglected in the future.

"I also want to go back early, but the results of Jingcha are about to be announced, and I can't leave if I want to." After listening to Qin Yue's words, Li Hongyu's face showed a look of helplessness, and he could only leave after waiting for the matter of Jingcha to be over.

"Brother Yu, do those people in Donglin really want to kill all the people in Qi Chuzhe? Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Huang have complained to me a lot these days about how arrogant and domineering the people in Donglin are. ”

Qin Yue saw Li Hongyu's helpless expression, so she asked suspiciously, although the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was also a constant party struggle in the past, but everyone fought and fought each other, but they gave each other a way out and took turns to take charge of the government.

Although the outside world knows that the Donglin Party is going to rise, judging from the current political situation in the capital, the people of the Donglin Party seem to want to uproot the three parties of Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, and those centrists through Jingcha this time, and this situation is unpredictable to everyone.

"Alas, I hope they don't act too radically, otherwise they will hurt others and themselves."

Li Hongyu's brows furrowed, and then he sighed and said, he didn't want to see the Donglin Party exterminate the three parties and centrist officials of Qichu and Zhejiang, otherwise it would be their turn next, and Daming really couldn't stand the toss in this matter.

"Let's go out of the city tomorrow, the emperor has given me a big vacation, let's relax." As he spoke, Li Hongyu said in a changed tone, and he was reluctant to mention the battles in the officialdom so as not to spoil everyone's interest.

Li Hongyu made a great contribution in Liaoxi this time, and was almost planted in Shimen Mountain, if you count the shooting in Siam, in just two years, Li Hongyu not only encountered two life and death disasters but also did not rest, so the Emperor of the Apocalypse gave him a holiday, so that he could rest well so as not to be tired.

"It seems that the emperor is not unkind." Qin Yue's face suddenly turned happy when she heard this, she and Li Hongyu can be said to be less together and more separated, of course, I hope that Li Hongyu can accompany her and Rou'er and others well.

"The emperor is also bitter, not only to face those troubles in the court, but also to find a way to appease the people of Li, thinking about how to deal with the country's military and political affairs every day, it is not easier than me at all."

Li Hongyu knew the meaning of Qin Yue's words, he was dissatisfied with the Emperor of the Apocalypse for sending him to go home from the northeast and west, so he smiled and replied.

Qin Yue couldn't help but bow slightly when she heard this, and she thought deeply of Li Hongyu's words, don't look at the Emperor of the Apocalypse as the son of the Great Tomorrow, but in the face of the courtiers in the court, he was not less angry, especially the carpenter skills he liked became the target of the courtiers, as if the Emperor of the Apocalypse was not doing his job all day long and wasting his time.

Emperor Apocalypse's hobby is more special, he has been very fond of carpenter work since he was a child, and Li Hongyu took this as a breakthrough when Emperor Apocalypse was still the emperor's grandson.

In his spare time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse liked to use the carpenter's room to make all kinds of utensils, which was a standard plaything in the eyes of the courtiers, so he vigorously opposed this, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was tired of holding on to it.

Compared with the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Li Hongyu's situation is obviously much better, although he suffers hardships and suffers, all he gets from the outside world is praise, and he will not be like the Emperor of the Apocalypse who has to be grasped by the courtiers for a little hobby.

Early the next morning, Li Hongyu led Qin Yue and others out of the city in a carriage, went to the suburbs to play, relaxed themselves, and stayed away from the chaotic party strife in the capital, and it was rare to have a quiet.

In order to avoid being disturbed by outsiders, Li Hongyu deliberately drove lightly and dressed up as a gentry for play, so he did not attract the attention of outsiders, otherwise he would definitely be watched.

Li Hongyu was ready to go out for a few days to make up for his debt to Qin Yue and the others, but unfortunately the plan was far from changing as fast.

At noon on the third day after Li Hongyu left Beijing, in a restaurant in a small town outside the capital, Li Hongyu, who was having dinner with Qin Yue and others in a private room, heard people passing by the corridor outside the door talking about Jingcha and talking about the "four murders", as if the results of Jingcha had been announced.

This made Li Hongyu couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect the people of the Donglin Party to play the results of Jingcha to the Emperor of the Apocalypse so quickly, you must know that the war in western Liaoning has just been calmed down now, and now the imperial court should make every effort to deal with the war in western Liao, instead of busy with the party fighting against differences.

"My lord, the investigation has come out, the results of the Jingcha have been announced yesterday, and the four people who have been impeached in the two capitals are rumored to be more than 300 officials who have been impeached in the two capitals!"

So, Li Hongyu sent a guard out to investigate, and the guard quickly found out some news and hurriedly came back to report.

"Four murderers?"

Li Hongyu suddenly showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, the four people who were impeached by the Donglin Party with the name of 'Four Murderers' were the leaders of the Qi Party and the Chu Party, it seems that the Donglin Party is really going to kill the three parties of Qi Chu and Zhejiang this time, and the shot is very sharp and spicy.

"Brother Yu, let's go back to Beijing, we've been playing outside for two days, and it's time to go back."

Qin Yue knew that something big had happened in the capital, so she smiled and said, the more than 300 people who were impeached by the Donglin Party must be the main force of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang and the centrist officials, and this matter is related to the future pattern of the Ming officialdom, so Li Hongyu will definitely return to Beijing to discuss matters.

Li Hongyu's eyes couldn't help but show an apologetic look, and then led Qin Yue and the others to leave the restaurant in a hurry and return to Beijing, ending the trip.

This is a helpless thing, now that the Donglin Party has bullied the head of the Chu Party with great fanfare, he naturally has to go back to support the Chu Party, otherwise it will make the Chu Party and the people in the outside world feel cold, in this way, who will follow him in the future?
