At the end of October, Li Hongyu and his entourage finally arrived in the capital before a heavy snowstorm and returned to their long-lost home in the capital.

"Little ...... Miss, young ...... The young master is back! ”

At dusk, when a subordinate of the Li Mansion opened the courtyard gate and saw Li Hongyu standing outside the door in the dust, surrounded by young generals such as Man Gui and Li Zhizhong, he was slightly stunned at first, and then shouted loudly into the courtyard in surprise.

The young lady in this subordinate mouth naturally refers to Qin Yue, although Qin Yue has not yet passed the door, but after all, she has the identity of her fiancée, and she is naturally the most noble person in the Li Mansion.

However, when it comes to power in the Li Mansion, Qin Yueke will be inferior to Rou'er, no matter how she says it, she is not a person from the Li Mansion, so she cannot intervene in the affairs of the Li Mansion, and the operation of the Li Mansion is taken care of by Li Hongyu's personal maid Rou'er.

Because Qin Yue is the future mistress of the Li Mansion, and Rou'er can only be a concubine, there is no conflict of interest between the two, Rou'er respects Qin Yue very much, and Qin Yue also treats Rou'er as a sister.

"Brother Yu!" When Li Hongyu was in the living room to greet his subordinates to serve tea to Man Gui and the others, Qin Yue and Rou'er hurried from the backyard, and when they saw Li Hongyu, they both showed excited looks, and their eyes became a little red, if it weren't for outsiders, I was afraid that Qin Yue would have thrown herself into Li Hongyu's arms.

Since Li Hongyu went to Liaodong, Qin Yue and Rou'er began to be afraid of him, after all, even Yang Hao and other famous generals who crisscrossed the battlefield were defeated by the rear army in Salhu, how could Li Hongyu, a new champion who had never been on the battlefield, be the opponent of the Houjin army?

Even if Li Hongyu successively won two great victories at Yaque Pass and Tieling, and forced Houjin to move the capital, Qin Yue and Rou'er were still worried about Li Hongyu's safety, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and God knows when it would become unfavorable to the Ming army again.

Now that Li Hongyu has gone home safely, the two of them can finally breathe a sigh of relief and sleep peacefully.

"Hello ma'am!" Seeing this, Man Gui and the others hurriedly got up and bowed to Qin Yue, they already knew that Qin Yue was Li Hongyu's fiancée and lived in the Li Mansion, so they naturally wanted to call her Mrs.

Qin Yue's face turned red when she heard this, and she returned the favor to Man Gui and the others, and she was happy in her heart, it was the first time that she was called Mrs. by Li Hongyu's subordinates.

"Yue'er, you ordered the kitchen to prepare a wine banquet, and today I will have a good conversation with the generals." Li Hongyu smiled and said to Qin Yue, the people he brought back to the capital this time were all carefully selected and ready to be used, so he naturally treated them as his own people to get close to.

Qin Yue heard the words to Li Hongyu and blessed herself, and happily led Rou'er down to prepare, she has not been in the capital for half a year, and now she has a lot of understanding of things in the officialdom, knowing that Li Hongyu will stay in the capital after coming back this time, and the war in Liaodong will not be able to turn him as a new champion.

Otherwise, wouldn't Li Hongyu, the horse wash of the Zhan Shifu Economic Bureau, be in vain? The new champion of the Ming Dynasty and the Hanlin Academy of the Hanlin Academy are the most learned people in the Ming Dynasty, how can they be dragged down by the war in Liaodong?

The banquet was quickly prepared, Li Hongyu and Man Gui and others were staggered, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely relaxed and cheerful.

For Li Hongyu's family banquet, Man Gui and Li Zhizhong and others were all flattered, you must know that the military attache had a low status at the end of the Ming Dynasty, if it wasn't for Li Hongyu's invitation, don't talk about them, it is difficult for Li Rusong and Li Ruzhen to attend the family banquet of the Daming Hanlin level civil officials, there are strict ranks and rules, and the requirements are very demanding.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know why this official brought you to the capital?" After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Hongyu turned around, put down the wine glass in his hand and asked everyone present quietly.

Man Gui and the others looked at Li Hongyu curiously when they heard this, and they also wanted to know the reason, if Li Hongyu simply returned to Beijing to report on his work, he would definitely not bring so many young generals from Liaodong, so there must be something hidden here.

"It's not a secret, this official wants you to come from Liaodong this time, and I want you to do it, as for the specific task, I will not be able to decide until the official meets the saint tomorrow."

Li Hongyu pondered for a while, and said solemnly to Man Gui and the others, "No matter what you want to do in the future, this official hopes that you can go all out, be loyal to the king, serve the country, and pray for the people!" ”

"What the Governor has said is very true, and we will be taught to live up to your teachings." Hearing that Li Hongyu mentioned Emperor Wanli, Man Gui and the others' eyes suddenly lit up, and they all bowed their hands to Li Hongyu and said, their expressions all became excited, although Li Hongyu didn't say it explicitly, but it was obvious that their task was related to Emperor Wanli.

Seeing this, a smile flashed at the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, the reason why he mentioned Emperor Wanli was to boost the morale of Man Gui and others, in fact, the matter of the westward expedition with the Mongols has not yet been mentioned, but he is confident that he will persuade Emperor Wanli to approve his plan to stabilize the northwest frontier.

In the evening, Princess Shouning's Mansion.

Zhu Wanting sat in front of the window, holding her chin with one hand, looking at the stars twinkling in the night sky, it was already winter, I don't know how Li Hongyu was doing in Liaodong, but she heard that Liaodong will be icy and snowy after winter, and it will be extremely cold.

"County Lord, Master Pony is back." Just when Zhu Wanting was thinking wildly, a maid suddenly rushed into the door in a hurry, and reported coquettishly, "I heard from Master Ma's entourage, Li Zhuangyuan also returned to Beijing with him this time." ”

"He's back?" Zhu Wanting was slightly stunned at first when she heard this, and then stood up happily, and asked the maid with wide eyes.

"Hmm!" The maid took a breath, nodded to Zhu Wanting and said, "The slave maid has already verified with the entourage of the concubine, Li Zhuangyuan has indeed followed the concubine back to Beijing, and the city that he entered at sunset will enter the palace tomorrow to meet the emperor." ”

"How is Li Zhuangyuan, is he injured? Is it thin? How's it going? When to return to Liaodong? Zhu Wanting was overjoyed when she heard this, and couldn't help but step forward and hold down the maid's shoulders and ask questions.

"County master, slaves don't know." Zhu Wanting has liked to practice martial arts since she was a child, so she has a lot of strength, and the maid suddenly felt a hot pain in the place where her arms were held by her, and quickly shook her head, with a painful look on her face.

Seeing this, Zhu Wanting knew that she had hurt the maid, so she let go of her and smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that she was too nervous and asked some questions that should not be asked.

"You're rewarded for this." Immediately, Zhu Wanting took off a golden hairpin decorated with gems on her head and handed it to the maid, and then hurriedly went to Ran Xingrang to inquire about Li Hongyu, if it wasn't for the gate of the imperial city being closed, she would definitely have to run to Li Hongyu and ask Li Hongyu why he didn't say goodbye in the first place.

Lee House.

After the banquet, Li Hongyu sent people to place the drunken Man Gui and others in the guest rooms of the mansion, and filled several rooms of the Li Mansion to the brim.

"Yue'er, I'm going to go to the academy, you don't have to wait for me to come back at night." After settling Man Gui and the others, Li Hongyu took a bath and changed into a brand new outfit, said hello to Qin Yue and went out.

Qin Yue's eyes suddenly showed a look of loss and gloom, and she felt quite sad in her heart, how much she hoped that Li Hongyu could talk to her at night, but Li Hongyu chose to see Zhao Xin, which made her heart have mixed feelings for a while.

Of course, Qin Yue knew that she shouldn't eat Zhao Xin's vinegar, Zhao Xin was the official hostess of the Li Mansion, and Li Hongyu went to Zhao Xin so late not only for personal matters, but mainly for official business, but she just couldn't let go.

But then again, since Qin Yue has chosen to stay by Li Hongyu's side, then she has to bear this loneliness and loneliness, Li Hongyu is not an idle person with his own ideals and ambitions, and he will not live a life of wife and children like ordinary people.

"Alas!" For a long time, Qin Yue, who was standing outside the gate and looking at Li Hongyu going to the street, sighed and entered the courtyard with a gloomy expression.

Li Hongyu's academy is the place where Zhao Xin trained more than 60 tax officials who passed the Enke examination, Li Hongyu gave it a name called "Huaguang Academy", and the Ming Dynasty allowed civil associations, so this is the birth of Donglin Academy and Wenzheng Academy, which are famous in later generations.

Huaguang Academy is located in the east of the inner city, which was originally an property under the name of Fuxiang, and was later requisitioned by Zhao Xin as a temporary place for Huaguang Academy.

"This son is ......"

When Li Hongyu's entourage knocked on the door of Huaguang Academy, the subordinate who opened the door looked at Li Hongyu with some suspicion, he was a subordinate recruited by Zhao Xin after the establishment of Huaguang Academy, so he naturally didn't know that the courteous boy in front of him was the champion of the new department.

"This is the academy's Li Shanchang, hurry up and report to Hall Chief Zhao." At this time, Wang Tieniu, who was following Li Hongyu, stepped forward and said to the subordinate in a deep voice.

The dean of the ancient academy was called the "mountain chief", and the second-in-command of the assistant dean was called the "hall chief", and the mountain chief of Huaguang Academy naturally had Li Hongyu, the new champion, to serve as the head of the hall, and the hall head was to be served by Zhao Xin, the new subject leader.

If you only look at the social status of the mountain chief and the hall head, the level of Huaguang Academy is undoubtedly very high, and the champion and the top eye are at the helm.

"Shan Chang Li?" The subordinate was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Li Hongyu with a surprised expression, he naturally knew Wang Tieniu, who often came to the academy to help, so he knew that the young man in front of him was the champion of the dynasty.

"Chief Li Shan, please, the little one will go to pass on to Hall Chief Zhao." Then, the subordinate reacted, bowed down and invited Li Hongyu into the door, and then pulled his legs and ran to the backyard.

"Wait!" Seeing this, Li Hongyu called out to the subordinate, and said with a smile, "The chief of this mountain can go by himself." ”

Saying that, Li Hongyu asked Wang Tieniu to lead the way in front and walked quickly to the backyard, he naturally couldn't let Zhao Xin come out to greet him.

In the time when Li Hongyu left the capital, the field of Huaguang Academy was completely supported by Zhao Xin, if it were not for Zhao Xin, I am afraid it would be difficult to suppress the more than sixty tax officials in the academy who had the status of a lifter, so he was grateful and pitiful to Zhao Xin, if it were not for him, Zhao Xin would definitely not step into the officialdom and wade into this muddy water.
