"Your Majesty, the war situation outside the border is very important, and Scholar Zhao has never been involved in the military, so it is not appropriate to let him go to North Korea!"

In the face of the sudden crime of the Shanxi Provincial Inspector Yushi, the officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang naturally had to fight back, and an official of the Qi Party then went out of class and reported loudly to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, trying his best to stop the matter.

"Your Majesty, Zhao University should stay by the emperor's side to assist, it is really difficult and ill-intentioned to let him go to North Korea!" Subsequently, an official of the Zhejiang Party glared angrily at the Shanxi Provincial Imperial Historian, and indignantly began to play to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"Your Majesty, Scholar Zhao and Scholar Li are both civil and military talents, although Scholar Zhao has not been involved in military affairs before, but his military talent is probably more than many ministers in the palace."

The Shanxi Provincial Inspector Yushi had already been prepared, and when he heard this, he methodically refuted the views of the Zhejiang Party official to Emperor Tianqi, "Back then, Scholar Li was the champion of Liaodong, who could believe that he could defeat Jiannu in Liaodong?" ”

As soon as the words of "...... you" came out, the official of the Zhejiang Party was suddenly speechless, stretched out his hand and pointed at the Shanxi Provincial Inspector Yushi, speechless, and trembling with anger.

Indeed, when the young Li Hongyu was sent by the Wanli Emperor to Liaodong as a governor, no one in the Manchu Dynasty thought that he was capable of turning the tide, after all, there was an old saying that "if you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well", so everyone regarded his going to Liaodong as a kind of grace from the Wanli Emperor to enrich his qualifications.

But the result of the matter greatly surprised the courtiers, Li Hongyu turned the tide in Liaodong, united with the Mongols to defeat the morale of the Houjin army in one fell swoop, not only changed the unfavorable situation of the Ming army in Liaodong, but also established his military status among the Ming courtiers.

Zhao Xin is not only Li Hongyu's friend but also the eye of the Ming Dynasty, the ancients said that "people gather by like, and things are divided by groups", so Zhao Xin, who has already shown outstanding literary brilliance and knowledge, will definitely not be much worse than Li Hongyu in military affairs, and can still strategize and win a thousand miles.

"It's too reckless, it's all about luck, and it's better to send someone else to North Korea."

"Scholar Zhao is a civil and military all-rounder, and with her assistant, Scholar Li will definitely be able to deal a fatal blow to Jiannu in the back."

"It's easier said than done to open up a battlefield in North Korea, it takes a lot of money!"

"Scholar Li didn't bring two million taels of overseas trade tax silver to the emperor this time, and it is enough to do things."

"It's ridiculous to let two scholars go to North Korea to sit in the town!"

……

The civil and military ministers in the Taihe Palace then talked about Zhao Xin's affairs, and the officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang and the rest of the factions naturally opposed it, while the officials of the Donglin Party camp strongly supported it.

Because the Donglin Party only has the academic monopoly of Donglin, other small and medium-sized factions in the court have attached themselves to the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang to protect themselves, which also shows the strength of the Donglin Party in the officialdom, and many faction officials have gone to take refuge.

In fact, at this time, the party struggle in the Ming Dynasty can be divided into Donglin party factions and non-Donglin party factions, and the rise of the Donglin party has made other factions feel heavy pressure.

Obviously, this is definitely not what the Emperor of the Apocalypse wants to see, if a faction above the court is dominant, it will pose a serious threat to the imperial power, and the radical faction of the Donglin Party wants to limit and weaken the imperial power, which is not something that the Emperor of the Apocalypse can endure.

As the two protagonists of this incident, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin stood there quietly, saying nothing, because the purpose of going to North Korea this time is to settle the Houjin outside the border, which is an out-and-out official business, so it is really inconvenient for the two of them to express their views as the parties concerned.

Of course, whether it is the Donglin Party or the Qichu and Zhejiang three parties will not force Li Hongyu to show his attitude, everyone knows that Li Hongyu has always believed in the principle of loyalty to the emperor, and will never do anything that harms the interests of the Ming Dynasty and violates the emperor's orders.

In other words, whether Li Hongyu went to North Korea or not would be at the mercy of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and his previous euphemistic refusal to go to North Korea was already the greatest indication of his attitude.

"The emperor has a decree, today's court meeting will end here, and the matter of North Korea will be postponed!"

Seeing that the controversy in the main hall was becoming more and more intense, a subtle smile flashed at the corner of the Emperor's mouth with a serious expression, and then he bowed slightly to Wei Zhongxian, who was standing on the side, and Wei Zhongxian shouted loudly.

"Congratulations to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Hearing this, the arguing officials had to stop, bow to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and send him off.

Emperor Tianqi glanced around coldly at the courtiers at the scene, and returned to the palace surrounded by Wei Zhongxian and others, although on the surface it seemed that he was dissatisfied with the quarrel in the hall today, but in fact, he felt extremely relaxed in his heart, and after this scene, he could justifiably transfer Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin out of the capital.

As for the Shanxi Provincial Inspector Imperial History who stirred up turmoil in the court, he was naturally a cronie secretly supported by Emperor Tianqi, if there were no officials of Emperor Tianqi's descendants in the imperial court, how could Emperor Tianqi really control the court.

It's a pity that except for Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, no one knows that the mastermind behind this dispute at today's court meeting is the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and they thought it was a disaster for the Donglin Party to the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties.

The Shanxi Provincial Inspector Yushi was not worried about the personnel of the Donglin Party and asked him why he wanted to beat Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin's idea, and now that the radical faction in the Donglin Party was in charge, he did this just to conform to the will of the radical faction, and did what the radicals did not dare to do, so as to make a blockbuster, and he would definitely be reused by the radical faction of the Donglin Party.

Emperor Apocalypse's sentence of "postpone and renegotiate" set off a new round of competition between the Donglin Party and the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, and in the next ten days, the Donglin Party and the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang competed around whether Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin went to North Korea to compete for the chapter and meet the Emperor of the Apocalypse to present their feelings, and the two sides had a fierce confrontation for this.

The important ministers of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang went to visit Li Hongyu in the Li Mansion one after another, hoping that Li Hongyu would make it clear to Emperor Tianqi that he was unwilling to go to North Korea, and with the close relationship between Li Hongyu and Emperor Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi would definitely not force Li Hongyu to go to Korea.

Under the continuous persuasion of the officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, Li Hongyu finally agreed at the end of September and decided to enter the palace the next day to face the saint and express to the Emperor of the Apocalypse that he did not want to go to Korea.

However, to the surprise of the officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin received a holy decree from the Emperor of the Apocalypse early the next morning, asking the two to go to Korea within three days to form a defense line on the Yalu River, and punish the relevant personnel for the matter of Jin after the surrender of the Korean army in the Battle of Salhu.

This decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse greatly disappointed the officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, while the people of the Donglin Party rejoiced, which meant that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was on their side.

According to the news from the palace afterwards, on the night when Li Hongyu decided not to go to North Korea, several important ministers of the Donglin Party entered Beijing overnight to meet the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and finally persuaded the Emperor of the Apocalypse to issue a holy decree on the grounds of rectifying the rule of officials, consolidating the country's foundation, and benefiting the common people.

The consolidation of the national capital and the benefit of the common people are related to the extermination of the Houjin, and the "rectification of the rule of officials" is aimed at the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, this time the Jingcha Donglin Party attacked the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, and the corruption became commonplace, so I hope that the Emperor of the Apocalypse can remove the factors that affect Jingcha, that is, transfer Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin.

Although Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin are members of the camp of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, because the two are deeply trusted by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the relationship between them and the Donglin Party is relatively harmonious, and there is no handle in the hands of the Donglin Party, so the Donglin Party does not want to tear their faces with the two now, and they will not move if they can.

With the issuance of the Holy Decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the debate over whether Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin went to North Korea officially came to an end.

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin immediately rushed to the palace to thank him after receiving the holy decree, according to the news from the eunuchs and maids in the south study, the atmosphere when the two met the Emperor of the Apocalypse was a little embarrassed and dignified, and there was no such ease as before.

Emperor Tianqi may have known that it was inappropriate to let Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin leave at this time, but also to ensure Li Hongyu's safety and test the combat effectiveness of the new-style forbidden army stationed in the new army camp outside the city, he deliberately asked Li Hongyu to bring the new-style forbidden army of the new army camp outside the city into Korea.

Since the beginning of the 48th year of Wanli, the formation of the new-style forbidden army has been carried out in an orderly manner under Li Hongyu's arrangement, and according to the plan, the 20,000-style forbidden army will be formally formed within 10 years, and 2,000 people will be selected from the guards in Gyeonggi every year to join the new-style forbidden army.

The reason why it took ten years was because Li Hongyu had to take care of the troops of the Gyeonggi Guard, and if he transferred 20,000 people to form a new-style forbidden army in one go, the troops of the Gyeonggi Guard would collapse, and there were not many people in the Gyeonggi Guards who could have fought in the first place.

Therefore, Li Hongyu adopted a step-by-step approach to the formation of a new type of forbidden army, which was also more suitable for selecting suitable sources of troops from the troops and military households of the Gyeonggi Guard.

In addition, Li Hongyu is responsible for the expenses of the new-style forbidden army, and Li Hongyu can be said to have borne huge economic pressure, so the formation of the forbidden army cannot be achieved overnight.

From the forty-eighth year of Wanli to the third year of the Apocalypse, there have been four phases of forbidden troops in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, with a total of more than 8,000 people.

The new-style forbidden army of the third year of the Apocalypse was recruited in May and has been training for more than four months, although it has not yet met Li Hongyu's requirements, but it is not a problem to deal with the North Korean soldiers, whose soldiers are all sturdy young men from military households in the Gyeonggi area, and they have been exercising for a long time in order to pass the physical examination.

Obviously, these new-style forbidden troops are not used to deal with the Houjin soldiers, but to protect the safety of Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin and avoid any accidents.

With 8,000 new-style forbidden troops and 2,000 sailors stationed in Tianjinwei, Li Hongyu already has 10,000 troops in his hands, and even if there is an accident in North Korea, he will be able to protect himself.
