(Recommended reading: The residence that Zheng Guifei found for Li Hongyu in the imperial city is next to the Ten Princes' Mansion, which is a courtyard house, and some pro-military military attaches live here.

The chamberlain and the palace maid have already cleaned up a wing room for Li Hongyu, and in the secluded place in the courtyard, the environment is also quiet, and the two chamberlains and two palace maids stayed to serve him.

Not only that, the hundred households in the courtyard who brought Li Hongyu to the previous were responsible for Li Hongyu's safety in the imperial city, and led his soldiers to protect Li Hongyu closely, and they followed Li Hongyu wherever he went.

Li Hongyu naturally knew that Concubine Zheng was spying on him, but he couldn't get rid of this kind of surveillance now, so he could only accept this matter with peace of mind and wait and see how the situation in the capital changed.

Li Hongyu's arrival made the pro-military military attaché living in the courtyard quite excited and excited, and Li Hongyu became famous and prestige in the Ming military circles since the First World War in Liaodong.

Under the circumstance that the Ming army generally lied about its military exploits and could boast of a great victory in destroying more than 100,000 enemies in a battle that eliminated more than 100 enemies, Li Hongyu's exploits in capturing seven or eight thousand Houjin soldiers in the Battle of Tieling shocked the officers and men of the army, and they naturally knew that the number of prisoners in the battle was the most difficult to fake.

Moreover, the number of prisoners was not only verified by the imperial court inspectors led by Ran Xingrang, but also exchanged with Houjin for the Ming army soldiers who were captured in the battle of Sarhu and other battles, and the exchange of prisoners alone made Li Hongyu establish a huge authority in the army, after all, the soldiers did not want to be abandoned by the imperial court after defeat.

Therefore, after Li Hongyu arrived at the courtyard, it caused a commotion among the military attachés in the courtyard, and they all looked at Li Hongyu curiously, and commented on Li Hongyu's character.

Although Li Hongyu was in a somewhat depressed mood, he still showed enough goodwill to those pro-army officers and soldiers who were watching him from afar, and took the initiative to step forward to talk with those pro-army military attachés.

This made the atmosphere of the scene suddenly become warm, those military attaches who were pro-army never thought that Li Hongyu, who was born in the top class and held an important position, would treat people so easily, you must know that those civilian officials in the court usually look down on those military attaches in the army, especially the middle and low-level military attachés, thinking that they are just reckless martial artists.

Those pro-army military attaches were most interested in the battle in Liaodong, especially the Battle of Tieling, which dealt a heavy blow to Houjin, which was the focus of everyone's attention, followed by the new army and the future formation of the naval division.

These military attachés who are pro-army are basically young people, and they are naturally curious about the new army and the navy, which can be said to have started from scratch, which was created by Li Hongyu with the support of Emperor Wanli, and its most distinctive thing is the new military system.

Similarly, the military system of the new army and the sailor has also become the most attractive place, which breaks the hereditary customization of the martial arts that the Ming Dynasty has always practiced, which means that everyone has the opportunity to improve to realize the dream in their hearts, and then injects infinite vitality into the new army and the sailor.

Li Hongyu patiently explained to the military attache of the New Army the formation of the New Army and the naval division, with the focus on the New Army, which had already been reorganized into an army.

"Lord Fu is here!"

Just when Li Hongyu was chatting and laughing with those military attachés of the pro-army, a hundred households of the new army hurriedly ran over and said breathlessly.

"Fu Wang?" Li Hongyu was stunned when he heard this, his eyes flashed with surprise, and then the look on his face was dark, and he sighed helplessly in his heart, it seems that things that should come will always come.

"I haven't heard that the first emperor has summoned Prince Fu to Beijing?" The pro-military attachés at the scene were also stunned by the news, and then, a thousand households couldn't help but ask, "You can't be mistaken, right?" ”

"Lord Fu has lived in the capital for many years, and many people in the upper guards of the imperial city know Lord Fu, so they will never be mistaken." The hundred households shook their heads and replied solemnly.

"What's going on?" Hearing this, the pro-military attachés at the scene burst into a commotion, and whispered about King Fu's entry into Beijing, whether he received an edict from Emperor Wanli, or came to Beijing without permission?

Li Hongyu naturally knew that King Fu had come to the capital privately, and his purpose was undoubtedly for the dragon chair on the Jinluan Palace, so after a deep sigh, he greeted the whispering pro-military military attachés, and hurriedly entered the palace, as the funeral minister of the Wanli Emperor, he can now enter and exit the Forbidden City freely.

"Father, after receiving your edict, the retainers hurried to catch up or were a step late, and they didn't see you for the last time, because the retainers were not filial, and they couldn't serve by your side when you were sick, so you opened your eyes and looked at the retainers......"

As soon as he entered the Qianqing Palace, Li Hongyu heard a heart-rending cry from the main hall from a distance, which could really be said to be sad for the hearers, and tears for the listeners, which made people infinitely sad.

Li Hongyu knew that the person who was crying in the main hall at this time was naturally the blessed king Zhu Changxun, Zhu Changxun left Beijing in the forty-second year of Wanli to go to the fiefdom to become a feudal domain, so he did not see Zhu Changxun, so he walked a few steps to the main hall.

In the main hall, a man dressed in linen and filial piety knelt in front of the coffin of Emperor Wanli and cried a mess, crying while recalling the past of Emperor Wanli.

Concubine Zheng Guifei was supported by Princess Shouning and Princess Rongchang to sit on the chair on one side of the coffin, bursting into tears, and the crown prince Zhu Changluo, King Rui Zhu Changhao, King Hui Zhu Changrun, and Guiwang Zhu Changying also wept there.

In addition to the people of the royal family, there are also the civil and military officials of the court who came to pay tribute led by Zhang Weixian and Fang Congzhe in the mourning hall, and the people who can come to the mourning hall of the Qianqing Palace on the first day to pay tribute must be the top magnates in the capital.

Different from the people of the royal family, Zhang Weixian, Fang Congzhe and others looked very surprised, and looked at each other in surprise, no one thought that King Fu would appear at this time, judging from the meaning of King Fu's words, it seemed that Emperor Wanli issued an edict to recall him from the fiefdom.

However, no one had received the news that Emperor Wanli was going to recall King Fu back to the capital, so how could such a major event not move at all.

According to the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king leaving the fief without the emperor's summons would be regarded as a rebellion, so generally speaking, once the vassal king arrived in the fief, he would usually die of old age there, not only could he no longer enter the capital, but he could not meet with other vassal kings.

After Li Hongyu entered the main hall, he glanced at the situation at the scene, and then crossed the civil and military officials who knelt in front of the mourning hall to mourn, and stood quietly behind Zhang Weixian and Fang Congzhe and other funeral ministers on the right side of the main hall, with an extremely serious expression.

It is obvious that the news of King Fu's coming to offer condolences will definitely spread throughout the capital like a whirlwind, and then have a significant impact on the situation in the officialdom of the capital.

In the final analysis, there are very few officials who are really loyal to the imperial power, and this is a battle for succession, so after King Fu appears in the capital, many ministers will become grass on the wall, and they will follow which side is more powerful than the prince and King Fu.

The reason why Emperor Yongle succeeded in appeasement was related to the neutral attitude of local officials, otherwise Emperor Yongle would not have been able to fight all the way from Beiping to Nanjing in a disadvantaged situation.

"King Fu, your father has already left, you have to mourn and take care of your body." After King Fu cried bitterly for a while, the crown prince Zhu Changluo stepped forward and helped him up, and persuaded him with a sad expression.

"Prince!" After King Fu got up, he hugged Zhu Changluo and cried, and the scene of this brother and brother Gong saw that the people at the scene cried one after another.

Li Hongyu's face became more and more gloomy, King Fu was born noble, and he always wanted to replace Zhu Changluo as the crown prince, so how could he be friendly to Zhu Changluo? I didn't think it was just a play performed by King Fu, and its purpose was naturally to win the favor of civil and military officials.

Although King Fu came from afar, he refused to go down to rest, but insisted on keeping a vigil for Emperor Wanli in the mourning hall.

I have to say that King Fu's play in the Qianqing Palace was sung just right, and his affectionate and righteous performance soon spread outside the palace, giving a good impression to the officials and people in the capital.

At night, Qianqing Palace.

Taking advantage of the busy day, Li Hongyu came out of the silent main hall to breathe a sigh, frowning slightly and strolling in the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace, the appearance of King Fu made the situation of the crown prince Zhu Changluo extremely unfavorable.

If Li Hongyu is not mistaken, there seems to be no record in the history books that King Fu entered Beijing after the death of Emperor Wanli, so there is no news worth learning from him.

"Li Hanlin, it's hot, let's drink a bowl of frozen white fungus soup." Not long after, a pleasant voice sounded from Li Hongyu's side, and Li Hongyu suddenly perked up when he heard this, knowing who was coming.

"Thank you, Lord County!" So, Li Hongyu bowed to Zhu Wanting who came over seriously and thanked him, and he could hear Zhu Wanting's voice with his eyes closed.

Zhu Wanting was followed by two palace maids, one of whom was carrying a food box in her hand, and after opening it, she took out a bowl of frozen white fungus soup from the food box and handed it to Zhu Wanting, who handed it to Li Hongyu.

"Lord Xie." Li Hongyu drank the frozen white fungus soup that night in one go, and then respectfully handed the bowl to Zhu Wanting.

"This is prepared by the imperial concubine Niangniang asked the imperial kitchen, Li Hanlin, if you want to thank the imperial concubine, thank the imperial concubine Niangniang." Zhu Wanting smiled slightly, handed the bowl to the palace maid on the side and said.

"Xie Huang Guifei Niangniang!" When Li Hongyu heard this, he leaned upwards and said in a deep voice.

"Li Hanlin, the imperial concubine Niangniang said, the funeral of Emperor Daxing is still long, you have to pay more attention to your body, don't collapse your body, the Ming Dynasty is still counting on a capable talent like Li Hanlin to govern."

Seeing this, Zhu Wanting smiled and said to Li Hongyu, although she put on a businesslike posture, her words revealed a lot of concern.

"County Lord, please tell the imperial concubine Niangniang, this official will definitely live up to Niangniang's expectations, and do his best for my Ming Dynasty, and then die." Li Hongyu naturally heard Zhu Wanting's concern for him, and his heart suddenly warmed, and then replied seriously.

Zhu Wanting heard the words and blessed Li Hongyu slightly, and led the two palace maids to leave, obviously she came this time on the orders of Concubine Zheng Guiyu, otherwise there must be a lot of things to say to Li Hongyu.

After Zhu Wanting left, Li Hongyu quickly stepped into a wing room in the side hall, which is a place for the funeral minister to rest.

Closing the door, Li Hongyu came to the oil lamp, opened a small paper ball in his hand and looked at it intently, this small paper ball was stuffed into his hand by Zhu Wanting when he gave him frozen white fungus soup just now, and there must be some important news written in it.
