(Recommended reading: In just two days, Li Hongyu's prediction about the war in Liaodong spread all over the capital from the eight major alleys, setting off a lot of waves, and even causing a fierce debate among the people waiting for the trial release list in Beijing.

Of course, since almost all the Ming and opposition sides believed that the Ming army would win in Liaodong, the people who supported Li Hongyu were only a minority, and most of them thought that Li Hongyu was just worrying about the sky and grandstanding.

Because the two factions were too fierce when arguing, they almost fought under the emotion, after all, both sides are young and vigorous young people, and the anger is naturally a little bigger, and it is a major national event related to the war situation in Liaodong, so naturally they will not give an inch, and they will fight on the basis of reason.

In the face of those who ridiculed Li Hongyu for being alarmist and selling his reputation, those minority factions who supported Li Hongyu ridiculed each other, believing that the other party did not know about the war in Liaodong and was like a parrot.

Of course, the people who support Li Hongyu are naturally mainly from Huguang and Shanxi, and at this time we can see the importance of the township party, and the people from Huguang, where Li Hongyu was born, and Shanxi, who have a close relationship with Li Hongyu, will definitely support him.

On the surface, the people who oppose Li Hongyu are mainly Jiangsu and Zhejiang Juzi, who have always been the best in the scientific field, so they usually lead the trend of the capital's Juzi remarks, how can Li Hongyu steal the limelight? They're definitely going to have to fight.

Although the rest of the people had their own opinions, they did not show it on the surface, but sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, wisely avoiding this dispute.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, Li Hongyu's prediction about the war in Liaodong finally reached the ears of Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the Ministry of War. Huang Jiashan was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly went to the six departments of the Qianbu Corridor to find the household department to give the official Ying Zhen to the matter.

"Lord Shangshu, what kind of wind is blowing you?" Guan Yingzhen happened to be on duty in the Sixth Branch Straight Room today, and when he saw Huang Jiashan, he got up with a smile to greet him.

Huang Jiashan is a native of Jimo, Shandong, and is naturally a member of the Qi Party, but he is a low-key person, so he is not the leader of the Qi Party like Qi Shijiao and Zhou Yongchun.

In the party struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty, those officials in high positions could not avoid the power struggle in the officialdom at all, otherwise it would be difficult to move an inch once they lost the support of the forces behind them, and it was not easy to stay alone.

The Qi Party and the Chu Party are allies in the court, and Guan Yingzhen naturally has a good personal relationship with Huang Jiashan.

"Lord Wu, have you heard the rumors on the market?" Huang Jiashan closed the door, stepped forward and asked Guan Yingzhen in a low voice.

"Rumors?" Seeing Huang Jiashan's serious expression, Guan Yingzhen was suddenly slightly stunned and realized what had happened, so he looked at Huang Jiashan suspiciously, "Lord Shangshu, what happened?" ”

"Xie Yuan, who was tried in Huguang Township, discussed the battle in Liaodong in Qinglou a few days ago, and not only said that he thought that the official army would fail this encirclement and suppression, but also seemed to know about Yang Jingluo's four-way joint attack, and accurately pointed out the positions of the officers and troops on the western, southern, northern, and southwestern roads."

Huang Jiashan realized from Guan Yingzhen's reaction that Guan Yingzhen didn't know Li Hongyu's prediction of the war in Liaodong, so he pondered for a while and frowned and said, "This matter is a secret of the imperial court, and few people know about it. ”

"He actually guessed Yang Jingluo's four-way combined attack!" Guan Yingzhen couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, a stunned look appeared on his face, he had never revealed the war in Liaodong to Li Hongyu, and he never expected Li Hongyu to be able to analyze Yang Hao's use of troops.

"Let's talk about it, why does he think that the official army will fail to encircle and suppress the rebels in Jianzhou this time?" Afterwards, Guan Yingzhen looked at Huang Jiashan, he was very curious about what Li Hongyu said, and it could reach Huang Jiashan.

Huang Jiashan found out from Guan Yingzhen's words and deeds that Guan Yingzhen didn't seem to know what Li Hongyu said, and suddenly felt a puzzle in his heart, could it be that the information in Liaodong was not revealed to Li Hongyu by Guan Yingzhen?

"Five days to destroy my army on the West Road, North Road and South Road, does this Li Jieyuan think that the official army is made of tofu?" Although he felt suspicious, Huang Jiashan still told the news he had heard, and then shook his head with a wry smile, which was too indifferent to the officials and soldiers.

"If the chief Nurhachi is really as Li Xie Yuan said, he takes the lead in ambushing the Du soldiers on the west road in Sarhu, and defeats the Du soldiers within a day or two, then the tide of the battle in Liaodong will be reversed!"

Guan Yingzhen's brows suddenly frowned slightly when he heard this, he knew that Li Hongyu had always been not optimistic about the Ming army's war in Liaodong, and now he had accurately guessed the tactics of the four-way attack adopted by Yang Hao and deduced the course of the war, which made him feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

"General Du has 30,000 elite soldiers, the strongest among the four-way official army, how can he be defeated in a day or two?" Huang Jiashan's brows furrowed when he heard this, thinking that Guan Yingzhen was a little worried, in his opinion, no matter what, the Houjin Army would not be able to defeat the Western Route Army in such a short time.

Moreover, Juniper is a famous general of the Ming army, who has been crisscrossing the territory for many years, even if he is besieged by the Houjin army, then he should be able to deal with it calmly, occupy favorable terrain for defense, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

"I hope so." Guan Yingzhen nodded, frowning, looking a little worried, of course he hoped that Juniper would wait for the arrival of reinforcements after the attack, but if Juniper insisted on not arriving reinforcements, the situation would be serious.

"Huang Shangshu, this official wants to enter the palace to meet the emperor, will Shangshu enter the palace together?" Afterwards, Guan Yingzhen groaned for a while, and said to Huang Jiashan with a serious expression, this matter involves Li Hongyu, and he must report to Emperor Wanli and defend Li Hongyu.

"Lord Wu, it's best for you to explain this matter to the emperor alone, too many people will get in the way."

Huang Jiashan shook his head when he heard this, Li Hongyu is Huguang's Xie Yuan is naturally maintained by Guan Yingzhen, if he goes to help, it will make Emperor Wanli disgusted, after all, he is not familiar with Li Hongyu, and it is inevitable that he will be suspected of being a friend.

Guan Yingzhen bowed slightly, and hurriedly entered the palace after bowing his hand to Huang Jiashan, he didn't have time to ask Li Hongyu now, and he didn't want Emperor Wanli to think that he had leaked Liaodong's military information to Li Hongyu, so as not to let someone take the opportunity to make a fuss.

Because Yang Hao's offensive arrangement is the top secret information of the Ming court, there are not many people who know that his four roads will attack, and only Guan Yingzhen and the military department are known to Wu Liangsi in the Chu Party, and even Huang Yanshi, the right man, is not clear about the imperial history, and Wu Liangsi has been staying in the Gongyuan because he is the same examiner who will take the exam, so Huang Jiashan hurried to ask Guan Yingzhen.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace, East Warm Pavilion.

"Lord Wu, are you saying that Li Xie Yuan guessed Yang Jingluo's four-way attack?"

Emperor Wanli leaned on the warm couch, staring at the official Yingzhen standing in front of him with a serious expression, and was very surprised by the matter of Li Hongyu reported by the official, you must know that the court still does not know the time and tactics of Yang Hao's attack, and Li Hongyu actually guessed it clearly, which naturally shocked him.

"The emperor Mingjian, the minister did not reveal anything about the war in Liaodong to Li Jieyuan." Hearing this, Guan Yingzhen knelt down with his legs bent and replied in a deep voice, he knew that Emperor Wanli must be suspecting him of leaking secrets.

"Someone, Xuanhu Guangjieyuan Li Hongyu will meet you." Emperor Wanli's head wrinkled slightly, and he issued an edict to the chamberlain standing on the side in a deep voice, and then said coldly, "I want to listen, why did he say that my three-way elite soldiers would disappear in five days!" ”

Guan Yingzhen's forehead suddenly oozed cold sweat, and he couldn't help but reach out and wipe the beads of sweat, he knew that Li Hongyu's words and deeds made Emperor Wanli quite dissatisfied, if Li Hongyu didn't deal with it properly, then the consequences would be unimaginable, and he would be imprisoned in Jinyiwei's edict for leaking secrets.

Regarding Li Hongyu's reckless discussion of the war in Liaodong, Guan Yingzhen felt quite annoyed in his heart, thinking that Li Hongyu's actions this time were too unproportionate and caused an incident in vain.

When the palace attendants came to the Li Mansion to deliver the decree, Li Hongyu was talking and laughing in the living room with several northern people such as Lin Liang and Sun Chuanting, and in the evening, Li Hongyu was preparing to make an east banquet to invite everyone.

This kind of life of "drunk life and dream death" will continue at least until after the list is tested, and then those who fail to make the list will return to their hometowns one after another, and Li Hongyu will not have so many parties.

With the arrival of the chamberlain, Li Hongyu could only re-agree on the time of the party with Lin Liang and Sun Chuanting, and then hurriedly followed the chamberlain into the palace, obviously he had already guessed what was going on, and had already prepared to deal with it.

"Brother Lin, is Li Jieyuan lucky or murderous when he enters the palace this time?" In front of the gate of Li's house, looking at the backs of Li Hongyu and the chamberlain, in the send-off, a sturdy young man couldn't help but ask Lin Liang who frowned slightly curiously.

Not only Li Hongyu, but Lin Liang and others also knew why Li Hongyu was summoned to the palace, which must be related to Li Hongyu's previous remarks about the war in Liaodong, and Emperor Wanli would definitely be furious if he knew about it.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, Li Jieyuan is not the kind of person who acts recklessly, so he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune this time." Lin Liang groaned when he heard this, and said slowly, his heart was full of expectations for Li Hongyu, in his opinion, Li Hongyu was not the kind of person who was open-mouthed.

"Minister Li Hongyu knocked on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." Entering the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Li Hongyu glanced at the official Yingzhen who was sitting on the side in front of the warm couch, and then knelt down in an orderly manner to bow to the Wanli Emperor who was sitting on the warm couch and reading the recital.

The world is criticized for the Wanli Emperor's lack of coming to the court, thinking that he is a faint monarch who only knows how to have fun, but he does not know that the Wanli Emperor is not in the court, which does not mean that he does not deal with government affairs, otherwise the operation of the imperial court during the Wanli period has long been stagnant, where is there Wanli Zhongxing, there will be no victory of the three major expeditions.

As for saying that the operation of the imperial court is all the credit of the cabinet and the six ministries, this is just an appearance, the decision-making power of military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty is in the Wanli Emperor, the cabinet and the six ministries only have the power to recommend and implement, and nothing will be achieved without the approval of the Wanli Emperor.

In addition, it is not difficult to see from the fact that Emperor Wanli did not come to the court for 30 years and the affairs of the court were in good order, and the Wanli Emperor actually had a very outstanding talent, and he was completely familiar with the control of the cabinet and the six ministries.

It is worth mentioning that if Emperor Wanli really ignores the affairs of the imperial court, then if nothing else, the party of the officials of each faction alone is enough to make the court miserable, and how will the imperial court operate when the various factions hinder each other?

"Li Hongyu, are you guilty?" Emperor Wanli put down the piece in his hand and stared at Li Hongyu coldly and asked.

"Back to the emperor, the minister is guilty." Li Hongyu raised his head when he heard this, looked at Emperor Wanli with a serious expression and said, "Ministers should not talk about the Liaodong War before the Liaodong War, so that rumors spread in the capital. ”

"The emperor is clear, the reason why the minister is doing this is still worried about the war situation in Liaodong, once this battle is lost, the Jianzhou Jurchen will be like a wolf on the loose, which is extremely unfavorable to the safety of Liaodong."

As he spoke, Li Hongyu touched the ground with his head and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know how the official army is deployed in Liaodong, but I hope that my speculation can inform Yang Jingluo to let him be on guard. ”

Emperor Wanli's face couldn't help but change slightly when he heard this, and Guan Yingzhen's eyes suddenly showed an anxious look, at this time, Li Hongyu couldn't say something good, he had to say something that Emperor Wanli didn't want to hear.
