Early the next morning, Li Hongyu received good news from Xiyuan, the condition of the Emperor of the Apocalypse who had taken the "Spirit Drink Dew" had improved, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around, and summoned him and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the imperial court to Xiyuan for an audience.

Li Hongyu was not happy because of this news, but a trace of sorrow appeared on the corner of his eyebrows, it was obvious that this "Spirit Drink Dew" was not an elixir to cure all diseases, it must be the same as the "red pill" that Emperor Taichang ate, and some things should not be added to it, which led to the spirit of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

In other words, the improvement of the Apocalypse Emperor's condition is nothing more than what people often call a return to light.

Li Hongyu has been dealing with the Emperor of the Apocalypse for nearly ten years, so he naturally knows the character of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the reason why the Emperor of the Apocalypse can't wait to take the "Spirit Drink Dew" is probably not to hope to cure his illness, but to gain time to arrange the future, so he will summon the ministers immediately after his body has "improved".

When Li Hongyu arrived in Xiyuan, Gu Bingqian, Zhang Weixian and other important ministers of the court had already arrived, gathered in the courtyard outside the door of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and waited for the Emperor of the Apocalypse to summon them, talking to each other in a low voice, all talking about the miraculous effect of the "Spirit Drink Dew".

Just yesterday, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was still a person who couldn't even get up, but now he was able to get out of bed and walk, and I have to say that the "Spirit Drink Dew" is really a miracle medicine.

Huo Weihua, the right attendant of the military department, was even surrounded by the ministers and complimented, Huo Weihua's face was flushed with excitement, maybe even he didn't expect that this "Spirit Drink Dew" would be so effective, making him make such a great achievement.

Seeing Li Hongyu coming, the people at the scene greeted him one after another, and now the Emperor of the Apocalypse is in the room to meet the Empress Dowager Li and King Xin and other members of the imperial family, and then summoned them.

"The emperor has a decree to announce that Young Master Li will meet you." Not long after Li Hongyu came, when he was talking to Gu Bingqian, an attendant came out of the hall and preached loudly.

Li Hongyu then tidied up his official uniform, and followed the chamberlain to meet the Emperor of the Apocalypse under the gaze of the ministers.

In the hall, King Fu and King Xin were sitting on chairs and whispering, because the royal family of the Ming Dynasty was divided into places, so there were two princes in the capital.

Compared with King Fu and King Xin, several concubines of the Emperor of the Apocalypse at the scene seemed much more restrained, and they all sat there silently sipping tea.

Li Hongyu bowed slightly to the two and then entered the suite on the side, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was talking and laughing with Empress Dowager Li and Zhu Huiyuan's mother and daughter, and Zhang Yan was accompanying him.

"Young Master, you came just in time, Princess Le'an is going to go to the Western Academy of your Customs Department to be taught, and this matter is approved, so I will leave it to you."

Seeing Li Hongyu come in, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said to Li Hongyu with a smile, his face was a little ruddy, his spirit seemed very good, and he couldn't tell that he was seriously ill at all.

"Obey."

Seeing this, Li Hongyu sighed helplessly in his heart, bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and replied, the more energetic the Emperor of the Apocalypse is now, the more dangerous it means, God knows what should not be in that "Spirit Drink Dew".

Zhu Huiyuan looked at Li Hongyu excitedly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse just asked her what she wanted, so she took advantage of the situation and said that she wanted to go to the Western Academy in Shanghai to learn Western knowledge.

Originally, Zhu Huiyuan thought that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would not agree to her, but she didn't expect that the Emperor of the Apocalypse unexpectedly approved this matter, and she could leave the capital in the future, and she would have more time with Li Hongyu in the future, and at the same time she could learn a wealth of knowledge.

After greeting for a while, Empress Dowager Li and Zhu Huiyuan got up and left, after all, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had just recovered from his serious illness, and they couldn't delay the Emperor of the Apocalypse for too much, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse announced that the king came to see him.

Emperor Tianqi has always loved King Xin, after all, he is such a younger brother, and he is naturally carefully cared for, although King Xin has been awarded the title of prince but was able to stay in the capital.

"Brother Huang, you have to remember that although Wei Zhongxian does not please the courtiers, this person is loyal and loyal, can calculate big things, and is a sword to consolidate imperial power, which cannot be easily discarded!"

After the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Zhu Youzhen recounted their brotherhood, he solemnly told Zhu Youzhen that he knew that the Donglin Party members in the capital did not say bad things about Wei Zhongxian, and Zhu Youzhen must have heard a lot, and there were Donglin Party members among his teachers.

In order to balance the factional forces in the court, the Emperor of the Apocalypse basically had a bowl of water in appointing officials from the Donglin Party and the anti-Donglin Party, which made Zhu Youzhen's teacher have people from the two major factions in the court.

Emperor Tianqi would never have thought that his original move to balance the power of the court would have a profound impact on the future situation of the Ming Dynasty, and the young Zhu Youzhen already had his own view of things in his heart.

Before the assassination of Xiyuan, no one would have expected that Zhu Youzhen would have the opportunity to inherit the unification, if the Emperor of the Apocalypse had known this, he would definitely not have arranged for Zhu Youzhen to be a teacher of the Donglin Party, and taught him the way to control it.

"Brother Huang, don't worry, my brother has written it down."

Zhu Youzhen was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to suddenly mention Wei Zhongxian, so he nodded as if he didn't understand, he didn't know why the Emperor of the Apocalypse would say such a thing to him, he didn't have anything to do with Wei Zhongxian.

It is true that some time ago, because of the poor health of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, there were rumors that Zhu Youzhen would inherit the throne, but now that the Emperor of the Apocalypse has recovered well after taking the "Spirit Drink Dew", Zhu Youzhen will naturally not be associated with the matter of the throne.

Li Hongyu, who was standing on the side, secretly sighed in his heart, the Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to leave a knife for Zhu Youzhen to deter hundreds of officials, and this knife was naturally Wei Zhongxian, "Be cautious and loyal, and count big things" The eight words vividly summarize Wei Zhongxian's loyalty to the imperial power.

Daming has now reached the point where it is not broken and does not stand, and people like Wei Zhongxian are needed to break the old pattern, only in this way can Daming be reborn, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse has clearly seen the disadvantages faced by Daming, so he uses thunder means to solve it.

After King Xin left, King Fu was announced by the inner attendant, this is the second time that King Fu has seen the Emperor of the Apocalypse after entering Beijing, and the spirit of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is much better from the face, which makes his heart mixed and deeply lost.

"Uncle Huang, what do you think of how I will govern the Ming Dynasty after I ascend the throne?" After the Emperor of the Apocalypse sat King Fu down, he asked with a smile.

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has made great efforts and made a lot of achievements, and his cultural and martial arts have been admired by the ministers." King Fu bowed down and replied methodically.

"Uncle Huang is too modest, I just obey the destiny of heaven."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled slightly when he heard this, and asked King Fu meaningfully, "The Ming Dynasty is now gloomy, the imperial uncle is a conservative person, and the king of faith is an innovative generation, for the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty, the only way to get rid of those stubborn diseases of the Ming Dynasty, what does the imperial uncle think?" ”

"The emperor's eyes are like torches, the minister is the old man, he just wants to guard his own one acre and three points of land, the king is a newborn calf, and his enterprising heart is far better than the minister!"

Hearing this, King Fu couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face, he never expected that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would mention this matter, comparing him with King Xin, and then replied after stabilizing his mind for a while.

"Uncle Huang, you are the uncle of King I and Xin, the heirs of the emperor's grandfather are not prosperous, and the Ming Dynasty will really encounter any difficulties in the future, and there are only a few imperial uncles that I and King Xin can rely on."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse bowed slightly when he heard this, and after a deep groan, he looked at King Fu solemnly and said, "Uncle Huang, you have already visited the Empress Dowager, and you have done your filial piety, so you will leave Beijing tomorrow, the palace is inseparable from Uncle Huang." ”

"Obey." Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse issued the "Eviction Order", King Fu suddenly felt a gloom in his heart, but he had made an exception to meet the Empress Dowager of the Zheng family, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was also benevolent and righteous to him.

Li Hongyu watched the scene in front of him coldly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was obviously beating King Fu, and pointed out the reason why King Xuan Xin inherited the throne.

Although Zhu Youzhen is not as young as Fu Wang Lao Cheng, it is precisely in this way that Zhu Youzhen can break the old and push the new and break the existing situation of the Ming Dynasty, and Fu Wang has experienced too many human feelings and sophistication, so he must be conservative and will not make a big deal about the disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Hongyu only realized at this time that the Emperor of the Apocalypse chose Zhu Youzhen to inherit the throne after careful consideration, and it was not just family affection in it, if King Fu and Zhu Youzhen were compared, it was natural that the young and vigorous Zhu Youzhen was more likely to carry out drastic innovations to the Ming Dynasty and eliminate the existing drawbacks.

After seeing the Emperor of the Apocalypse, King Fu entered the palace to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager Zheng, and when he told the Empress Dowager Zheng that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had improved and asked him to leave Beijing tomorrow, the Empress Dowager of the Zheng family was taken aback, and her heart fell to the freezing point all of a sudden.

She never imagined that Huo Weihua's "Spirit Drink Dew" was really effective, which was equivalent to cutting off King Fu's hope of ascending the throne.

"Queen Mother, the emperor is an enterprising minister, the child is too conformist compared to him, and now the Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, this emperor is not so easy to be."

King Fu saw it more openly, smiled and persuaded him, after the failure of the last battle for the throne, and after seeing the various actions of the Emperor of the Apocalypse after ascending the throne, his desire for the throne was not as strong as before, maybe God gave him the life of the emperor, but he did not have the luck of the emperor.

"This Huo Weihua ......" The Empress Dowager of the Zheng family is helpless now, after all, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is already in power, and she can't compete at all, so she can only reluctantly resent Huo Weihua, if it weren't for Huo Weihua, King Fu would have a great chance.

Li Hongyu did not leave Xiyuan until noon, and he was all present to accompany the Emperor of the Apocalypse when he summoned all the ministers of the court, which shows the importance that the Emperor of the Apocalypse attached to him.

However, Li Hongyu's mood was extremely low, the reason why the Emperor of the Apocalypse did this undoubtedly had the meaning of "entrusting the orphan", the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew best how naturally he was physical, if there was really that kind of panacea that cured all diseases in the world, then those previous emperors would not have died of illness.

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse summoned the ministers of various ministries and institutes in the court, he clearly revealed his plans for the next few years of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Hongyu's task was to supervise the implementation of these plans, and Zhu Youzhen would be able to control the government after several years of tempering.

But the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't know that Li Hongyu had decided to "pick a child", so his expectations would come to naught, and he was also sick and rushed to the doctor, how could Li Hongyu act according to his wishes, and if it was left to outsiders to see, wouldn't this be an unauthorized move? Li Hongyu doesn't want to be the second Zhang Juzheng.
