At the beginning of October, Xiaoliuqiu. Bayi Chinese? Net?? ≠＝≥．≠８≈１≤Ｚ≈≤．≠ＣＯＭ

Li Hongyu carefully held the swaddling baby in his hand, and looked at a white and chubby baby sleeping in the swaddling clothes with a smile, this baby was the son Zhao Xin gave birth to him.

According to the genealogy of the Li family, Li Hongyu's next generation is the "cloud" generation, so Li Hongyu named him Li Yunxuan, Xuan has the meaning of elegance and nobility, and hopes that he can become a gentle and elegant person with noble character when he grows up.

Zhao Xin, Youlan and Li Yier were talking and laughing on the side, because it had been giving birth for almost two months, Zhao Xin's body had already acted as usual, but the body was inevitably in a state of happiness, and he could only lose weight gradually.

"Your Excellency, there is an urgent matter in the capital." Just when Li Hongyu couldn't put down the baby in swaddling clothes, a guard came and bent down to present an envelope with a small red flag painted on it.

Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he saw this, this is the rule he set, if there is an emergency, a small red flag will be turned on the envelope and sent to him as soon as possible.

"Xianggong, it seems that the emperor has counterattacked." Zhao Xin stepped forward to take the swaddling clothes from Li Hongyu's hand, and said with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Although she is in Xiaoliuqiu, she is still very clear about the situation in the capital, and now the things inside and outside the Ming Dynasty that can allow Li Hongyu to receive urgent letters are only the situation in the capital has changed dramatically.

And the only possibility of a great change is that Wei Zhongxian begins to fight back against the Donglin Party, after all, the Donglin Party has been impeaching Wei Zhongxian for so long, and it is time to end this farce.

Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu both knew very well that Wei Zhongxian was just a pawn of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to control the courtiers, and if there was no Ken of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian would definitely not rashly move the people of the Donglin Party.

In other words, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has sounded the clarion call to fight back against the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party will definitely not sit idly by, which means that there will definitely be a round of bloody rain in the capital officialdom next.

Li Hongyu also thought of this, sighed and opened the envelope to check, the content of the letter showed that Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei, who was ordered by the emperor to try Xiong Tingbi's bribery case, had arrested Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian and the six people involved in the case and put them in the imperial prison for interrogation.

For this reason, the officials of the Donglin Party organized rescues one after another, hoping to help Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian and others survive this catastrophe.

"Lord Yang, they are so confused, Wei Zhongxian is the emperor's person, wouldn't they be against the emperor if they want to move Wei Zhongxian?"

Seeing Li Hongyu's gloomy expression, Zhao Xin couldn't help but speak, "The first of the twenty-four major crimes they impeached Wei Zhongxian violated the emperor's taboo, and the emperor was forced to make a heavy hand even if he wanted to open the net!" ”

Although Zhao Xin doesn't know what the letter said now, he knows from the change in Li Hongyu's expression that the Donglin Party will definitely be unlucky this time, so he has the previous feelings.

Yang Lian impeached Wei Zhongxian in the first of the 24 major crimes, saying that Wei Zhongxian was a rogue from the market, middle-aged and entered the palace as a eunuch, and disrupted the government with great treachery and evil.

According to the ancestral system, the matter of drafting the decree and reviewing the recital can only be done by the cabinet, but Wei Zhongxian can not only draft the holy decree but also review and approve the recital as a eunuch, which violates the ancestral system, and his ill intentions are ill-intentioned, causing chaos to the court.

The review of the recitals here does not refer to the approval of the celebrant and the eunuch, but to approve the important recitals played by some courtiers on behalf of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, just like the cabinet members, which is equivalent to dispersing the power of the cabinet.

Obviously, the meaning of this major crime is that Wei Zhongxian interfered in politics, in fact, the cabinet drafted the holy decree and approved the chapter is not the ancestral system, the so-called ancestral system is the rule set by the Ming Taizu period, but there was no cabinet at that time.

The cabinet was founded by the Yongle Emperor, and at that time it was just a secretarial institution around the emperor, and the bachelors in it were just five grades.

It is worth mentioning that when the Yongle Emperor was in the Ming Dynasty, the later title system was not popular, and after the Xuande Emperor ascended the throne, in order to strengthen the authority of the cabinet, he gave the cabinet scholars the title of six scholars or squires, so that their official ranks could compete with the officials of the six departments.

In other words, even Emperor Yongle, who founded the cabinet, and Emperor Xuande, who promoted the cabinet, did not say that it was the duty of the cabinet to draft the decree and approve the recitals, but it was just a long-standing practice, and it had nothing to do with the ancestral system or anything.

This means that the emperor can naturally let others do these two things, such as the eunuchs around him, which is completely the emperor's due power.

Yang Lian's great crime was fundamentally wrong in the first place, the cabinet was just an institution serving the emperor, how could it oppose the guest and monopolize the power to draft the decree and approve the recital?

In the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, this was clearly a provocation to the monarchy, so he naturally felt extremely annoyed in his heart.

"Alas!"

Li Hongyu sighed when he heard this, and had to say that Yang Lian was too impulsive and extreme, which not only angered the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but also gave the officials in the court who were anti-Donglin Party an excuse to attack, and in the end it was the Donglin Party that was unlucky.

After all, the Donglin Party has just taken charge of the government, and at this time the foundation in the court is not stable, and there are still many officials from Qi, Chuzhe, Zhejiang and other factions in the Ming officialdom, so it is really unwise for them to attack the Emperor of the Apocalypse at this time, and they should stabilize their power before making plans.

But then again, will the Emperor of the Apocalypse sit back and watch the Donglin Party grow stronger in the officialdom, and in the end it will be enough to threaten the imperial power?

Therefore, when the Donglin Party, with the support and acquiescence of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, exterminated the Qi Chu and Zhejiang factions, their fate had already been decided, how could a divided civilian-bureaucratic group fight against the imperial power?

"Xianggong, sister, is the situation in the capital bad?" Seeing Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin's solemn expressions, Youlan couldn't help but ask with concern, she rarely saw the two of them in such a heavy mood.

"Sword light and sword shadow, bloody rain and bloody wind!" Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said helplessly, "It seems that Xianggong will rush back to Haicheng at the end of this month, and there is such a big thing in the capital, and the Xianggong will be asked for help by Lord Fu." ”

"The Donglin Party is going to fall this time?"

Youlan suddenly showed a look of surprise when she heard this, she never expected that the Donglin Party, which was in full swing, would encounter such a big trouble, and it would make Ye Xianggao ask Li Hongyu for help, which meant that Ye Xianggao had been forced into a desperate situation, otherwise he would not have opened his mouth to Li Hongyu.

"It can't be said that it has fallen, the emperor is a wise and wise monarch, who has been taught a lot from Wanli Ye, and knows the importance of the balance of power in the court, so he will not uproot the Donglin Party, but the Donglin Party will not be as loud as it is now."

Li Hongyu shook his head when he heard this, and after a deep groan, he said, "This time the unlucky ones are those in the Donglin Party who act radically and are hated by the emperor, and the rest will be in danger." ”

"Although our emperor is young, his mind is even more powerful than that of Wanli Ye, who asked the courtiers to compromise for the sake of Liao's salary, but the emperor wants to subdue the hundred officials with the power of thunder, so that the courtiers dare not go beyond the bounds."

Zhao Xin naturally knew that the situation in the capital was promoted by the Emperor of the Apocalypse behind the scenes, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It's a pity that the people of the Donglin Party are fans of the authorities, and they can't see that they have fallen into the trap set by the emperor in the morning, and they are led by the emperor." ”

"No wonder Xianggong and my sister have been sent by the emperor to other places on business in the past two years, it turns out that the emperor does not want Xianggong and my sister to be involved in disputes in the court."

Youlan nodded thoughtfully when she heard this, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were "matched" by Emperor Wanli to the field since the Donglin Party presided over Jingcha, and outsiders seemed to think that the two had fallen out of favor, but in fact, it was Emperor Wanli's protection of the two, and he didn't want the two to be involved in the party struggle in the court.

"Xianggong, since the emperor doesn't want you to intervene in the affairs of the capital, if Lord Fu asks you for help, will you go back to the capital or not?" Subsequently, Youlan realized a question and couldn't help but ask Li Hongyu with concern.

"Of course Xianggong is going, the officialdom of the capital will definitely be panicked after this catastrophe, and the emperor needs Xianggong to stabilize people's hearts."

Li Hongyu suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said helplessly, he was not worried that he was involved in this court dispute, and when he arrived in the capital, the battle in the capital must have come to an end, he just went to clean up the mess and appease the frightened officials of the Donglin Party.

This is exactly what the Emperor of the Apocalypse wants Li Hongyu to do, the reason why the Emperor of the Apocalypse launched this political offensive is not to defeat the Donglin Party, but to balance the factional forces in the court, so that it is the most powerful for the monarchy and the court.

In fact, as early as when he was in Beijing, Li Hongyu already knew the intentions of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so he took the initiative to ask to go to North Korea, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally knew that Li Hongyu saw his holy will, so he let Li Hongyu leave the whirlpool of right and wrong in the officialdom of the capital, and the two tacitly knew this.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was not afraid of the Donglin Party, thinking that the people of the Donglin Party were short-sighted and arrogant, and it was easy to lead them by the nose.

The person he is really worried about is Li Hongyu, UU reading books et others may not be able to see through his intention to vigorously support the Donglin Party, but Li Hongyu can definitely see that if Li Hongyu gets involved in this matter, then the situation will be complicated.

To the comfort of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Li Hongyu really deserved to be the most loyal courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and also worthy of being his most trusted and respected person, and immediately cooperated after seeing his intentions, so that his plan could be implemented perfectly, making the Emperor of the Apocalypse more trusting and relying on Li Hongyu.

"It's so complicated in officialdom that it's hard to understand in a fog!" Youlan felt that the situation in the capital was more complicated than she imagined, and Liu Mei frowned slightly and sighed, and a worried look appeared in her eyes.

Although Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin can easily control the battle in the officialdom, although the two have the support and trust of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the officialdom is sinister and walking on thin ice, and she has to worry about the two of them.

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw this, the two of them didn't feel too worried, as long as they were loyal to the imperial power, it was enough to ensure that the two of them were safe and sound in the officialdom, since they couldn't avoid this kind of intrigue, it was better to devote themselves to it to deal with all kinds of crises that might be encountered in the future.
