Late at night, Jingshan, Guande Palace.

"Your Majesty, the minister has done his best to assist the prince, but unfortunately the bad luck has not been able to help the prince get out of trouble, if King Fu ascends the throne tomorrow, the minister will return to his hometown." Li Hongyu knelt in front of the coffin of Emperor Wanli and said with a solemn expression while burning paper money into the brazier.

Several chamberlains standing on the side couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and a look of admiration appeared in their eyes.

Li Hongyu's words were naturally said to those chamberlains, but the first half of these words came from the bottom of his heart, and only the later Zhishi's return to his hometown was a lie, which was specially said to Zheng Guifei and King Fu.

After all, he still has a grand blueprint that has not been realized, in order to show that he has no attachment to the official position, so that Zheng Guifei and King Fu will value him even more.

If Emperor Wanli could trust him again and not transfer the new army away, then the crown prince would definitely not fall into this predicament, and with the deterrence of the new army, Zhang Guang would not dare to put the British Duke under house arrest, because that would cause the new army to enter the city to rescue the British Duke.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and at this point it's too late to say anything, the guards at the inner and outer gates of the capital must have been replaced by henchmen of Zhang Guang's camp, how could they let the new army enter the city?

And once King Fu ascends the throne, then it only takes the next holy decree to put the new army in a dilemma, and the final result can only be a feather return.

Li Hongyu has already made a decision, he will participate in the canonization ceremony of Zheng Guifei tomorrow, but he will not appear at the enthronement ceremony of King Fu, which not only shows his loyalty to Emperor Wanli, but also leaves a way out for himself, at least to express enough goodwill to Zheng Guifei, you must know that among the civil officials, he supports Zheng Guifei to become the queen.

"Li Hanlin, it's past midnight, you should go back and rest, and you have to attend the ceremony tomorrow." When Li Hongyu was burning paper money in front of the brazier, an attendant came over and reminded in a low voice.

"It's midnight!" Hearing this, Li Hongyu couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the sky outside the window, which meant that the twenty-seven days of the Wanli Emperor's mourning period had ended.

"Your Majesty, the minister is gone."

Subsequently, Li Hongyu threw the paper money in his hand into the brazier, solemnly kowtowed to the coffin of Emperor Wanli three times, and then got up and left with a serious expression.

Not to mention anything else, the matter of the Customs Department alone is enough for King Fu to have a headache, except for Li Hongyu, no one in Daming can control such a new overseas trade yamen, which is related to the construction of two million tax silver and Daming sailors.

It was the dead of night, the imperial city was silent, the road was deserted, and Li Hongyu didn't see anyone else except for the pro-army who patrolled the night.

After seeing Li Hongyu, the pro-army who patrolled the night bowed down and saluted, if it is said that which official in the Ming Dynasty is the most capable of governing the army now, then after the first battle of the Li Mansion, it is undoubtedly Li Hongyu, and the soldiers of the Beijing army and the pro-army all admire Li Hongyu so much that they throw themselves to the ground.

When he returned to the courtyard, the pro-military military attachés in the courtyard had already fallen asleep, and Li Hongyu had no sleep, so he brought a pot of wine and sat on the stone chair in the courtyard and poured himself a drink.

"Oh no, the new army has entered the inner city, and now it has reached Daming Gate!" Just when Li Hongyu felt sad, a pro-army hundred households hurriedly rushed into the courtyard, stood in the courtyard and shouted, "Quick, everyone get up and go to Daming Gate to guard." ”

"What did you say?" Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, he thought he had heard it wrong, put down the wine glass in his hand and walked over quickly, and asked at the pro-army hundred.

"Back to Li Hanlin, the new army has arrived outside the Daming Gate, and the general on duty now orders everyone to rush to the Daming Gate to support." The pro-army hundred households bowed to Li Hongyu and replied with an anxious expression.

"The new army is in the city?" Li Hongyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't understand it for a while, this matter was really beyond his expectations.

At this time, the courtyard was lively with the voice of the pro-army hundred-hundred

"The New Army?"

After learning the news of the new army's entry into the city, the pro-army military attaches at the scene looked at each other one by one, looking a little overwhelmed, I don't know why the new army suddenly arrived outside the Daming Gate, could it be that the Beijing army in the inner city and the outer city are all eating dry rice!

Afterwards, the pro-army military attaches looked at Li Hongyu in unison, wondering why the new army suddenly appeared here.

Li Hongyu smiled helplessly when he saw this, others in the imperial city didn't know what was happening outside at all, God knows why the new army passed through the outer city and the inner city unimpeded, this is an incredible thing.

However, the next moment Li Hongyu Li Hongyu was happy in his heart, realizing that those new troops were transferred by Zhao Xin through the edict of Emperor Wanli, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Faintly, Li Hongyu heard shouts of killing coming from the direction of the inner city, and it seemed that a conflict broke out between the new army and the Beijing army in the inner city.

This made Li Hongyu's brows suddenly wrinkle, although the new army arrived outside the imperial city, but the imperial city's city defense was also extremely strong, and there were pro-army guards, it was not easy for the new army to break through the gate of the imperial city.

The purpose of the new army's entry into the city this time is to protect the prince, but once the new army is blocked outside the imperial city, then it will lose the meaning of a surprise attack, at least it will have to attack the imperial city, because only in this way can the Fu King who lives in the Ten Princes' mansion be captured, and then Zheng Guifei in the Forbidden City will be forced to release the prince.

As a last resort, Li Hongyu was absolutely unwilling to send troops to attack the Forbidden City, which was the emperor's bedroom, and it was a great disrespect to the imperial power to do so, and it was easy to cause many incidents when attacking.

The appearance of the new army made the situation on the scene a little chaotic, the pro-army military attaches talked to each other about the new army's attack, Li Zhai just a few days after the battle, everything was vivid, so they didn't want to fight with the new army, in that case, it would be a vain death.

"Brothers, listen to me!"

Li Hongyu keenly felt that the pro-army military attaches in the courtyard seemed to be afraid of the new army, so a thought immediately appeared in his heart, jumped on a big stone on the side, and shouted at the military attaches of the new army.

The military attaches at the scene suddenly quieted down when they heard this, and looked at Li Hongyu in unison, wanting to know what Li Hongyu would say.

"Brothers, the new army is already entering the city, there must be the generals of the Beijing camp secretly helping, Emperor Daxing Bin Tianqian once recruited this official and several adults to the Qianqing Palace to teach face-to-face, and asked us to ensure that the crown prince ascends the throne."

After glancing around at the pro-military military attache in the courtyard, Li Hongyu said with a serious expression, "The crown prince is the orthodox power of my Ming Dynasty, and King Fu's name on the throne is not right. ”

"Now, it is not the new army that can help the crown prince, but the brothers, are you willing to follow this official to protect the crown prince to inherit the throne?"

As he spoke, Li Hongyu raised his voice and shouted at those pro-military military attachés, "Brothers, this official hopes that you can prosper the Ming Dynasty with this official and leave your name in history!" ”

When the pro-army military attache heard this, he immediately looked at each other, Li Hongyu's words were obviously to recruit them and let them join forces with the new army to take the imperial city, so that they would betray the pro-army capital to protect the palace.

"Brothers, Lord Zuo Dudu has been placed under house arrest, Emperor Daxing treats us well, we can't do that kind of ungrateful thing, we will be spurned by future generations in the future!"

Soon, a pro-military military attache took the lead in speaking and shouted at everyone at the scene, "Li Hanlin is an auxiliary minister appointed by Emperor Daxing, and we will not be wrong to follow Li Hanlin." ”

"Yes, let's follow Li Hanlin." Immediately, another pro-military military attache said loudly.

"Li Hanlin, what do you think we should do?"

At this moment, Li Hongyu's personal charm was revealed at this time, and after a small commotion, the dazed military attaches chose to follow Li Hongyu and looked at him with concern.

"Do you know where Wu Guogong is being held?" Li Hongyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and asked quietly, if he didn't guess wrong, Mu Chongfeng, the Duke of Wuguo, must have been locked up somewhere in the imperial city by Concubine Zheng.

The military attaches at the scene couldn't help but look around when they heard this, wanting to know who knew Mu Chongfeng's whereabouts, but because this matter was confidential, only a very few people knew about it.

"Back to Li Hanlin, Xia Guan once heard people talk about it, as if a warehouse in the east of the city has strengthened the deployment of troops since Wu Guogong was placed under house arrest." In the midst of the whispers of the crowd, a military attache suddenly spoke, providing valuable information.

"Now this official announces that after you gather your soldiers, go to the Ten Kings' Mansion, and be sure to detain King Fu."

Li Hongyu's brows furrowed when he heard this, he didn't have time to find out if Wu Guogong was locked up in the warehouse now, so he immediately gave an order, first pointing to the military attache on the left and giving an order, and then said to the military attache on the right, "You follow this official to that warehouse, if we are lucky, we will rescue Wu Guogong!" ”

"Obedience!" When the military attachés heard this, they all replied, what they needed at this time was a leader to lead them, and Li Hongyu was obviously this kind of person, who invisibly showed excellent leadership.

"To distinguish friend from foe, let's tie a strip of white cloth to our left arm." Li Hongyu was very satisfied with the reaction of the military attache at the scene, and then vigorously tore off a strand of white cloth from his filial piety clothes, tied it to his left arm, and then commanded in a deep voice.

The pro-army soldiers are dressed in the same clothes, and if they are not distinguished, once they fight, they will not be able to distinguish between friends and enemies, so Li Hongyu thought of the white cloth on the filial piety clothes.

During the mourning of Emperor Wanli, the officials and soldiers in the capital had to wear white filial piety clothes, and they would take off their filial piety clothes after the end of the 27-day mourning period, so they were just used by Li Hongyu, so as not to accidentally injure friendly soldiers at that time.

Li Hongyu hopes that he can successfully rescue Wu Guogong, which will have a very big effect on the guards who control the imperial city, especially for opening the Daming Gate.
