(Recommended reading: "Princess, it seems that Li Hanlin and Zhao Hanlin are unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the crown prince and King Fu."

In the bedroom, Ran Xingrang said while taking off the headdress for Princess Shouning, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin are both smart people who must understand Princess Shouning's intentions, but the two of them have never shown their intention to take refuge in King Fu.

"Although Bengong is a little disappointed, it's better than deceiving Bengu."

Princess Shouning smiled slightly when she heard this, and said disapprovingly, "Li Hanlin and Zhao Hanlin are supported and valued by their father, so they will naturally look forward to their father's holy will, and their loyalty is thousands of times better than those wall grasses that fall with the wind." ”

"But in this way, King Fu will not get the support of the new army outside the city, I heard that the new army is well-trained and has high morale, and it is the most elite army of my Ming Dynasty, and it has the courage to be ten of them."

Ran Xingrang took off a crested golden hairpin from Princess Shouning's bun, looked at Princess Shouning in the bronze mirror with some concern and said, "Once something happens in the capital, the new army will play a vital role." ”

"Li Hanlin and Zhao Hanlin are the teachers of the imperial grandson, it is not easy to get them to stand on the side of King Fu, as long as the new army does not make trouble at that time, thank God."

Princess Shouning couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, her expression darkened, and she said faintly, "The crown prince now has an orthodox position, how easy is it to let King Fu succeed to the throne?" But the mother concubine was unwilling to give it a last go, and the palace had to fulfill her wish. ”

"Don't bother, princess, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and this matter will definitely end uneventfully." Ran Xingrang knew that Princess Shouning was extremely depressed about King Fu's affairs, so he opened his mouth and comforted softly.

"I hope so!" Princess Shouning smiled when she heard this, she didn't want to see the scene of the prince and the Fuwang brothers killing each other, in that case, it would become a big scandal in the history of the Ming Dynasty, what face would she have to see the ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan in the future?

What is particularly important is that the crown prince has the identity of the orthodox heir to the imperial power, and the Wanli Emperor has no intention of changing the prince, which means that once King Fu competes for the throne, it will be a rebellion, and I don't know how many ministers in the court will take risks to support King Fu.

Unlike Concubine Zheng Guifei, Princess Shouning actually did not support King Fu in her heart to compete for the throne, but King Fu was the brother of her mother's compatriots, and she had to help King Fu according to Concubine Zheng's wishes, and only she knew the bitterness and depression in her heart.

Of course, when Zheng Guifei was busy in the capital for King Fu's affairs, King Fu would definitely not be idle, he knew that this was his last chance to win the throne of the Ninety-Five, so he cherished it very much, although he couldn't leave the fiefdom, but sent Shi Hanfeng, the right chief of the palace, to the capital secretly.

At this moment, in the private room of a green building in the Bada Hutong outside the capital, Han Feng, who was a little obese, was enjoying the performance of the singing and dancing girl while drinking with a burly middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, and a beautiful young woman was waiting for him.

"Hou Ye, when the lower official came, the prince once regretfully told the lower official that the Hou Ye had made great contributions during the three major expeditions, and his record was second to none among the nobles who participated in the war, but unfortunately he failed to enter the duke, and he really felt sorry for the Hou Ye."

Han Feng, who was talking and laughing, waved away the two pretty women who were waiting next to him and the middle-aged man with a national character face, and then Yu Feng turned around and said in a deep voice to the burly middle-aged man with a national character face, as if he felt quite unfair about what happened to the burly middle-aged man with a national character face.

"The food of the king's Lu bears the king's worries, this marquis has been deeply favored by the emperor for generations, and he should serve the country, as for the fame or something, in the eyes of this marquis, it is just a passing cloud, and this marquis only wants to serve the emperor, and does not ask for anything in return."

The burly middle-aged man with a national character face smiled disappreciatively when he heard this, and said to Han Feng after taking a sip of the wine in the cup, "Benhou thank the prince for his care, the prince is the emperor's favorite prince, Wen Taowu is proficient in all strategies, if he can participate in the three major expeditions, his combat exploits will definitely be the best in the whole army, and I will bow down." ”

"Hou Ye is right, among the princes of my family, the prince of my family is the most assertive, and his temperament is the most similar to the emperor, he has been carefully cultivated by the emperor since he was a child, and his ability to govern the country has won the favor of the emperor."

Han Feng's face turned pale when he heard this, nodded solemnly, and then said with a regretful expression, "It's a pity, my family's prince has a majestic ambition that he can't display, and now he can only live in a fiefdom, spending his time doing nothing every day.

”

"The prince was born in a noble background, and he won the favor of the emperor, if it weren't for those civil officials who could be described as obstructing him, the prince would already be the prince of the Ming Dynasty."

The burly middle-aged man with a national character face bowed his head slightly, lowered his voice and said with some dissatisfaction, "The emperor is too tolerant of civil officials, those people act arrogantly and domineeringly, not only do not take us princes in their eyes but also interfere with the emperor's establishment of princes, which is really hateful." ”

"Of course those hypocrites who sell their fame and reputation don't want to see the prince become the prince, so how can they control the government in the future? Now the crown prince and the crown prince are very close to the civil officials in the court, and when the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely rely on those people, and the world of the Ming Dynasty will only be played by them. ”

Han Feng sneered, and said to the burly middle-aged man with a cold expression, "Although the Daming country looks like a song and dance on the surface, it is actually full of dangers, not only the war in Liaodong, but also the increasing number of riots in various places, if you continue to let those who are empty and only know how to fight for power and profit control the government, the Daming country is in danger!" ”

"Having said that, it's a pity that I don't know what kind of ** soup the emperor was poured by them, and now he is alienated from the prince, and he didn't recruit the prince back at this critical juncture."

The burly middle-aged man with a national character face couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and said without worry, "If the prince can't come to the capital in time, then it's too late." ”

"It's not that the prince doesn't want to come, now the emperor hasn't opened his mouth to agree to the prince coming to the capital, if the prince comes rashly, those civil officials above the court will definitely attack him."

A helpless look appeared on Han Feng's face, King Fu naturally wanted to rush to the capital to serve by Emperor Wanli's side, but unfortunately Emperor Wanli never issued an order to let him enter the capital, if he acted rashly, it would make things backfire.

"Can't the concubine think of a way?" The brows of the burly middle-aged man with the national character face furrowed, it was obvious that King Fu was the best in the capital when Emperor Wanli died, and he could directly push King Fu to the throne at that time.

"The concubine has done her best, but the emperor has made up her mind to let the prince stay in the fiefdom temporarily.

”

Han Feng smiled bitterly, how could Concubine Zheng Guifei not want to let King Fu enter Beijing, but Emperor Wanli never let go of her mouth, and she had no choice, with Emperor Wanli's character, if she forcibly let King Fu enter Beijing, it might anger him.

Although Emperor Wanli likes King Fu the most, what he is most worried about now is that the crown prince and King Fu will compete for the throne after his death, which is related to the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

You must know that even the heroic Yongle Emperor did not appoint the Han King, who was deeply loved by him and made great achievements in the Battle of Jingyan, as the prince, and his concern was naturally the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, so he made compromises and concessions.

"The meaning of the concubine is ......"

The burly middle-aged man with a national character face knew very well that Zheng Guifei would never let go of the opportunity to push his father to the throne, and after listening to Han Feng's words, a look of surprise suddenly flashed on his face, he had already guessed Zheng Guifei's intentions.

"As long as the Hou Ye can unite people of insight to control the situation in the capital at that time, then the prince will be able to ascend the throne smoothly." Han Feng's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and said to the burly middle-aged man with a national character face.

"It's not so easy to control the capital, Ben Hou is in charge of only one-third of the Beijing army, and there are also pro-army and new army."

The brows of the burly middle-aged man with the national character face suddenly wrinkled slightly, and his face showed a look of embarrassment, the strength of the capital is controlled by several nobles, all of whom are the most trusted people of the Wanli Emperor, so it is not easy to control the situation in the capital.

Although Han Feng said it very implicitly, the burly middle-aged man with a national character face knew very well the meaning of his words, Zheng Guifei wanted to take advantage of the window period of Emperor Wanli's mourning to push the king to the throne, and according to the custom mourning period, the prince could not ascend the throne, which gave Zheng Guifei a chance.

However, in order to achieve this goal, Zheng Guifei must control the situation in the capital, which is to have overwhelming military power in the capital.

No matter how great the power of the civil official group is, it is just a matter of mouth, and it will still depend on the attitude of those who have the power to command the army, especially the nobles who command the Beijing army and the pro-army in the capital, their choice will play a decisive role in the ownership of the throne, and it is also an important object for King Fu to win over.

"Lord Hou, it's man-made, the noble concubine has already seen those lords in charge of the army, except for the British duke, the rest of the lords don't seem to be willing to get too involved in the royal affairs."

Han Feng knew that the capital was full of troops, and seeing that the burly middle-aged man with a national face was a little worried, he smiled and said, "At that time, as long as the British Duke can be stabilized, then the capital will be the world of King Fu." ”

Since the Battle of Jingyan, especially after the first British Duke Zhang Fu died in the Battle of Tumubao, the British Duke has become the most trusted honor of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and he is the well-deserved head of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the current British Duke Zhang Weixian not only commanded one-third of the Beijing army in the capital, but also was at the helm of the Beijing army, responsible for the defense of the inner and outer cities of the capital.

It is precisely because Emperor Wanli trusts and values Zhang Weixian that it is difficult for Zhang Weixian, as the head of the nobles, to be won over by King Fu.

After all, Zhang Weixian still has to be faced, once he betrays Emperor Wanli, then he will inevitably be pointed out by Qianfu, and the British government's unparalleled signboard of loyalty and righteousness will be smashed in his hands, he can't afford such a result.

This means that if Concubine Zheng wants to put King Fu on the throne, the biggest resistance from among the nobles is Zhang Weixian, and his choice will have an important impact on the other nobles.

"Ben Hou is not worried about the British duke but the new army outside the city, they are each in a group and only obey Li Hongyu's orders, and the emperor treats Li Hongyu well, if the new army changes at that time, the consequences are unpredictable!" The burly middle-aged man with a national character face was not worried about Zhang Weixian, and looked at Han Feng with a frown when he heard this, and he was even more afraid of Li Hongyu.

The burly middle-aged man with the face of the national character is the Hou Ye, and he naturally knows Zhang Weixian, compared with the first British duke, Zhang Weixian seems too mediocre, his ability is really ordinary, and he has his current status by relying on the signboard of the British government, so it is easier to deal with.

And Li Hongyu is different, Li Hongyu only took a little more than a year to have his current identity and status, especially in the Liaodong battlefield to turn the tide and force Nurhachi to move the capital to avoid the war, which made the burly middle-aged man with a national character face quite jealous.

Obviously, once the competition for the throne between the crown prince and the king of Fu intensifies to the point of irreconcilability, then it will definitely end up fighting each other, and whoever has the military power will become the new master of the Forbidden City.

The battle of Liaodong is enough to prove that Li Hongyu is an excellent commander, and the nearly 20,000 soldiers of the New Army outside the city were originally from the elite of the Ming army's various guards, and their strength was even more leaping after being reorganized by Li Hongyu.

Others may not know, but the burly middle-aged man with the national character face pays special attention to the new army, and knows that the training of the new army is very strict, and if the Beijing army is transferred, I am afraid that he will be tired and lie down in less than three days.

It was hard for him to imagine that Li Hongyu had set such a heavy training task for the New Army, let alone that those soldiers of the New Army would be able to adapt to this kind of training, so in addition to being surprised, he was shocked, and he was unwilling to encounter such an army on the battlefield.
