"Zhao Hanlin, what should we do?"

Qin Yue knew that the situation was serious, so she looked at Zhao Xin, who was frowning slightly, nervously and asked, not only Li Hongyu's life, but even the safety of the Ming royal family was very likely to be in the hands of that pro-army deputy Qianhu.

"We don't know exactly what this matter is, the key now is to find that deputy Qianhu and find out if he has the holy decree in his hand!"

Zhao Xin pondered for a moment, and said solemnly to Qin Yue, "I plan to go out of the city to explore the truth. ”

Because it was very likely that the pro-army deputy Qianhu had Emperor Wanli's holy decree to transfer troops in his hands, Zhao Xin had to be cautious and could not make the slightest mistake, so he had to go out to investigate in person.

"Zhao Hanlin, I heard that the White Lotus Cult kills people like hemp, if you go......"

Qin Yue's face suddenly changed when she heard this, the reputation of the White Lotus Sect was very unbearable in the propaganda of the government, she naturally had to worry about Zhao Xin's safety, Zhao Xin was a daughter after all, how would she explain to Li Hongyu in the future if something happened.

"I'm in a hurry, and I can't take care of so much now." Zhao Xin interrupted Qin Yue with a cold expression, she naturally knew that there was danger here, but now she had no choice but to take this risk, otherwise Li Hongyu might be killed.

The corners of Qin Yue's mouth squirmed when she heard this, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say it, if that pro-army deputy Qianhu really had the holy decree to mobilize the new army in his hands, then it was really difficult for anyone other than Zhao Xin to interfere at this time, and once the situation was urgent, Zhao Xin needed to make a decision immediately.

In view of the urgency of the situation, Zhao Xin immediately took leave to the Hanlin Academy on the grounds of physical discomfort, and now the whole capital is staring at the prince and the king of Fu in the Forbidden City, so Zhao Xin's leave was approved without the slightest obstacle, and then quietly left the capital, and went straight to the village where the pro-army deputy Qianhu lived, wanting to hear more clues.

Li Hongyu was constantly followed by people around him, and in the palace, he was in the palace and kept a vigil for Emperor Wanli in the Guande Palace, which made him unable to get news from the outside world.

If he knew that Zhao Xin was going to take the risk personally, he would definitely stop it, the White Lotus Sect hated the people in the yamen very much since it was severely cracked down on by the imperial court in the forty-third year of Wanli, once Zhao Xin's identity was exposed, then his life would be in danger.

Most importantly, Zhao Xin is a woman, and she is also a peerless woman, and any man will have the mind to possess it when he sees it.

Therefore, Li Hongyu would rather let King Fu get the country than Zhao Xin have an accident, after King Fu got the country, he who is loyal to the prince can at least win a reputation of loyalty, with the relationship of Princess Shouning's mansion, he will definitely be reused again after a few years of idle wealth at home, but the time for the fall of the Ming Dynasty will be delayed.

But if something happens to Zhao Xin, it will be an irreversible result, Zhao Xin is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and Li Hongyu will lose her forever, of course, this is not a scene he wants to see.

That night, Jingshan, Guande Hall Spiritual Hall.

Li Hongyu was on duty in the mourning hall when King Fu walked in, the chamberlain and the palace maid retreated with interest when they saw this, and another funeral minister who was on duty with Li Hongyu knew that King Fu was coming to find Li Hongyu, so he walked forward and bowed and left quickly.

"His Royal Highness King Fu." Li Hongyu knew that King Fu would come to him sooner or later, so he quietly greeted him and bowed.

"Li Hanlin doesn't need to be polite." King Fu stepped forward and helped Li Hongyu up, and said with a smile, "This king knew that Li Hanlin was a rare civil and military all-round talent in my Ming Dynasty when he was in Luoyang, and now he really deserves his reputation at first sight." ”

"The prince praised it falsely, and the lower officials just did their duty." In the face of King Fu's praise, Li Hongyu replied calmly, it was obvious that King Fu wanted to win him over.

"Li Hanlin, now the Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, although it seems to be peaceful and prosperous on the surface, but in fact, it is stormy and turbulent, and there are many internal troubles, if you don't clear those hidden dangers, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Seeing that Li Hongyu's attitude towards him was a little cold, King Fu was not angry but happy in his heart, this kind of loyal courtier was actually the most popular among those in power, and once he was subdued, it would be a great help, so he walked to the coffin on the side, stroked the coffin of the coffin with his hand, and said worriedly:

"Emperor Daxing has always wanted to eliminate these hidden dangers when he was alive, but unfortunately it is not a day's cold, although Emperor Daxing has made a lot of effort, but with little effect."

"Li Hanlin, do you think the cowardly prince can beat those old foxes in the officialdom?" As he spoke, King Fu paused and turned his head to look at Li Hongyu on the side.

"Lord Wang, at this time, it is a matter of royal majesty, and the lower officials dare not speak falsely." Li Hongyu was taken aback when he heard this, and then bowed back and said.

Li Hongyu originally thought that King Fu was going to coerce and lure him, but he didn't expect to reason with him, and he also pointed out the prince's disadvantages to the point, knowing that the prince could not suppress the forces of the court and the central government, which made it difficult for Li Hongyu to answer, so he found an excuse to perfunctory the past.

"Li Hanlin, you are a smart person, loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so this king told you these heartfelt words, from the long-term perspective of the Ming Dynasty, the crown prince is not suitable for a succession of unification, otherwise he will be set aside by the courtiers and become a puppet who is controlled everywhere."

King Fu had already expected that Li Hongyu would not answer the question he had just asked, and only the kind of stunned young man who had stepped into the official career for the first time would dare to talk about the prince of the Ming Dynasty, so he didn't mind Li Hongyu perfunctory him, but looked at the coffin of Emperor Wanli, and said with a solemn expression:

"Emperor Daxing pinned his hopes on the emperor's grandson, carefully taught the emperor's grandson, and wanted the emperor's grandson to turn the tide at that time, but unfortunately Emperor Daxing's expectations for the emperor's grandson were too high, and he also underestimated those old foxes in the court, I am afraid that the emperor's grandson will be controlled by others and have empty ambitions!"

Li Hongyu was stunned again when he heard this, and for some reason Emperor Chongzhen suddenly appeared in his mind, Emperor Chongzhen can be described as a diligent and promising Ming monarch, but unfortunately he still can't fight the civil official group in the court, and he is a little helpless in the face of the chaos of the Ming Dynasty, which eventually led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Li Hongyu is reluctant to admit it, he has to say that what King Fu said is reasonable, and he sees the current situation of the court very thoroughly, knowing that the Ming Dynasty is now facing a lot of potential risks, and the primary threat is from the civil official group in the court.

The crown prince was not liked by the Wanli Emperor since he was a child, so it was naturally impossible for him to personally teach his experience and ideas of governing the country, as well as his views on the current affairs of the court, which could not be learned from the Zhan Shi in the Zhan Mansion.

In the view of the Zhan Shi, the civilian clique was the foundation of the Meiji state, so they would certainly exaggerate the role and merits of the civilian clique while hiding the shortcomings and shortcomings of the civilian clique.

King Fu is different, Emperor Wanli liked him when he was a child, and regarded him as the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he usually affirmed his words and deeds to teach him the way to control the emperor under his subordinates.

This is also why King Fu has such an opinion on the situation of the dynasty, and in Li Hongyu's opinion, it is obvious that these things were taught to him by Emperor Wanli.

Perhaps this is also an important reason why the civil official group in the court does not want King Fu to inherit the throne, the crown prince is obviously easier to deal with than King Fu, and the degree of dependence on the civilian official group is higher.

"Li Hanlin, you are different from those ministers in the court, they will only make trouble for the court and never solve the trouble, only thinking about their own interests and ignoring the national capital of the Ming Dynasty, but you are worrying about the monarch, first went north to Liaodong to reverse the unfavorable occupation of Liaodong, and then went south to Jiangnan to collect six million taels of silver for the Customs Department, and his loyalty is unmatched!"

Seeing that Li Hongyu was silent there, King Fu knew that he agreed with his previous remarks, so he looked at Li Hongyu and said, "The prince will not give you the opportunity to show your strength, but this king is different, this king will make you a minister of Zhongxing of my Ming Dynasty, and show Li Hanlin's ambitions." ”

"The prince loves Xiaguan very much, but Xiaguan once promised Emperor Daxing to assist the prince and grandson, since this is the case, he must fulfill his promise, otherwise how can he have the face to see Emperor Daxing again in the future."

Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, since King Fu had already thrown an olive branch to him in person, he could no longer avoid it, so after a deep groan, he bowed his hand to King Fu and replied seriously.

"Alas!"

King Fu's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of disappointment, and he sighed helplessly.

"Li Hanlin, this king hopes that you will be loyal to both the Ming Emperor and my Daming, only in this way will you live up to the expectations of the Daxing Emperor!"

However, he didn't have the hope of making Li Hongyu change his ways, and if Li Hongyu could be easily convinced, he would not have been so valued by Emperor Wanli.

"The prince's golden and jade words have been written down by the lower officials." Li Hongyu was silent for a while when he heard this, and then replied solemnly.

How could he not hear the meaning of King Fu's words, once King Fu succeeded in ascending the throne, then it would be reused for Li Hongyu, because King Fu's previous words were reasonable, Li Hongyu really had no way to refuse, otherwise it might really make King Fu kill him.

When King Fu heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the purpose of coming to see Li Hongyu this time has been successfully achieved, and he is bound to win it for a loyal minister like Li Hongyu.

An hour later, Qingning Palace.

The crown prince Zhu Changluo discussed the current situation with the imperial grandson Zhu Youxiao in the dormitory, Zhu Youxiao has reached the age of sixteen, and is old enough to participate in such a confidential event.

In the room, Li Xuan, who is known as Xi Li, was waiting on the side, and the chamberlain and the palace maid had all been retired.

"Father, now that the imperial concubine Niangniang and King Fu are aggressive, Father must prepare early, and he can't be at their mercy!" Regarding the current situation in the capital, Zhu Youxiao felt that it was dangerous, and thought that King Fu was not good this time, so after some discussion, he opened his mouth and reminded Zhu Changluo in a deep voice.

"Alas!"

Zhu Changluo couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said a little helplessly, "Now that the imperial concubine has controlled the pro-army in the Forbidden City, what can we do?" ”

"Father, you are the orthodoxy of our Ming Dynasty, you have a moral advantage, those civil officials in the court support you, as long as you make good use of it, you can become a great help to your father."

"How to make good use of it?" Zhu Changluo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Wanli often instructed Zhu Youxiao personally, although as a father, he was inferior to Zhu Youxiao's son in terms of opinions and control of the court situation.

"Prince, it's not good, my father went to see Li Hanlin in front of the Guande Hall tonight, and he was refreshed when he left, I don't know if Li Hanlin agreed to take refuge in him."

Without waiting for Zhu Youxiao to speak, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Wang An, the eunuch in charge of Qingning Palace, hurriedly rushed in, reporting with a flustered expression.

"What?" Hearing this, Zhu Changluo suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Zhu Youxiao was only slightly stunned, and then shook his head with a wry smile, as if he had expected his father to meet Li Hongyu, so he was not surprised by the news at all.
