(Recommended reading: Li Hongyu left after having dinner in the Horse Mansion, Ran Xingrang personally sent him outside the door, and the two talked and laughed in front of the door, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Ran Xingrang has been a colt for almost ten years, but he is very young, and now he is only about thirty years old.

Although Ran Xingrang believed that the Ming army would definitely win in Liaodong, he was still very interested in what Li Hongyu said about customs matters, and Li Hongyu's idea of customs was unheard of, which was both novel and unique and rigorously structured, which made him very admired and full of expectations.

Ran Xingrang was a smart man, knowing that the Wanli Emperor would definitely not set up a customs office for no reason, and that he also had the opportunity to hold an official position, so he realized what promises Li Hongyu might have received from the Wanli Emperor.

In this regard, Ran Xingrang was very surprised, you must know that Li Hongyu is just Huguang's Xie Yuan, to put it bluntly, he is a lifter, he has never been to the capital in front of him, let alone met with Emperor Wanli, how can he be treated favorably by Emperor Wanli?

Of course, since Li Hongyu didn't explain the reason, Ran Xingrang naturally wouldn't ask, what he wanted to do was to wait and see what would happen next.

When he returned home, Li Hongyu found that there were guests at home, who were sitting in the living room and sipping tea slowly.

"Brother Shen, don't come unharmed." After Li Hongyu entered the hall, he smiled and saluted the visitor, this guest was none other than Shen Bocheng, the head of the Wuchang Mansion Tong Trial, and the leader of the Huguang Township Test.

"Came abruptly and disturbed Brother Li's preparation." Shen Bocheng got up and smiled and bowed to Li Hongyu.

"Brother Shen, where is this, Brother Shen is a distinguished guest, and usually the little brother can't be invited." Li Hongyu waved his hand again and again, and asked Shen Bocheng to sit down with a smile.

Although Li Hongyu and Shen Bocheng don't have much contact, after all, the two are in the same department, and Shen Bocheng helped Li Hongyu in the case of Mingyue Pavilion, otherwise Li Hongyu would not be so easy to see Li Hongyi who was imprisoned.

Since coming to the capital, Li Hongyu has visited Shen Bocheng once, Shen Bocheng rented a small courtyard in the outer city of the capital and was busy studying and preparing for the exam, and the two have not met again.

As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will not go to the Three Treasures Palace, since Shen Bocheng still came to Li Hongyu during the tense preparation period, then Li Hongyu naturally knew that he had something to say to himself.

"Brother Li, Lord Yang Lianyang returned to Beijing today, why don't we go and meet together." Sure enough, after greeting for a while, Shen Bocheng turned his words around, looked at Li Hongyu with a smile and said.

Hearing this, Li Hongyu's brows suddenly frowned slightly, it seems that Shen Bocheng is going to decide to join the Donglin Party now, otherwise he will not drag himself to see Yang Lian.

Yang Lian's character Wenru, the number Dahong, Huguang Yingshan people, Wanli thirty-five years of Jinshi.

Although Yang Lian is a member of the Huguang family, he is not a member of the Chu Party, but an important member of the Donglin Party, and when he was young, he was influenced by Gu Xiancheng, the founder of the Donglin Party, and others who took the world as their own responsibility, were not afraid of power, and dared to discuss the government, so they became a member of the Donglin Party.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Lian is the head of the "Six Gentlemen of Donglin", which shows his important position in the Donglin Party.

"Now that Lord Yang is back, then I naturally have to go with Brother Shen to meet him." Subsequently, Li Hongyu smiled and quietly agreed to Shen Bocheng.

Although Li Hongyu does not plan to join the Donglin Party, Yang Lian is from Huguang, so he naturally wants to go to meet his fellow villager, and the concept of the township party is deeply rooted in the officialdom.

Besides, there is no need for Li Hongyu to offend Yang Lian, if he encounters any trouble in the future, maybe Yang Lian can help.

Shen Bocheng saw that Li Hongyu agreed, and his heart immediately breathed a sigh of relief, just as Li Hongyu guessed, Shen Bocheng wanted to join Yang Lian and join the Donglin Party, but he was worried that if he went by himself, he would not be taken seriously by Yang Lian.

After all, he is just a Jingkui, so he pulled Li Hongyu as Xie Yuan, so that Yang Lian will definitely not be underestimated, and it is also Yang Lian's responsibility to absorb outstanding talents from Huguang to the Donglin Party.

Besides, if Li Hongyu goes to see Yang Lian, then Zhao Xin, who is inseparable from Li Hongyu, will definitely go, which will naturally make Yang Lian treat him differently.

In Shen Bocheng's view, the power of the Donglin Party is stronger, and the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party and the Qi Party can unite with other small parties in the imperial court to compete with it, so he naturally has to choose the Donglin Party, if he chooses the Chu Party, there will be little room for development in the future.

At this moment, Shen Bocheng didn't know that Li Hongyu's thoughts were completely different from his, and he was respectful of the Donglin Party, after all, if Li Hongyu wanted to develop and strengthen his own power, he would inevitably have an irreconcilable conflict of interest with the Donglin Party, which was based in the rich Jiangnan region.

In the final analysis, the cake of Jiangnan's interests is so big, and if Li Hongyu wants to take a bite, he can only take it away from the hands of the Donglin Party.

Li Hongyu also thought about committing to the Donglin Party at first, and then using the Donglin Party to develop his own power, but later after careful consideration, he denied this idea.

In the final analysis, the basic interests of Li Hongyu and the Donglin Party are antagonistic and irreconcilable.

Taking the customs as an example, if Li Hongyu wants to collect customs duties from the Ming court, then it is necessary to crack down on smuggling at sea, but now those smugglers at sea have a close relationship with the Donglin Party, how can the Donglin Party let Li Hongyu move this fragrant fat on their lips?

Therefore, even if Li Hongyu joined the Donglin Party, he would be excluded and suppressed by the Donglin Party because of the irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides, so he simply did not have any entanglement with the Donglin Party, but confronted it through the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, and the Qi Party.

The next day, Fang Yun and Yang Renxiao and the others came to Li Hongyu after learning the news of Yang Lian's arrival, and discussed visiting Yang Lian in the evening, so everyone made an appointment to go together.

Originally, everyone would not go to see Yang Lian together, but now that the New Year is approaching, the time is urgent, and Yang Lian is left among the high-ranking officials from Huguang who has not yet visited, so Li Hongyu and others gathered together to go, so as not to make Yang Lian feel rude if he goes late.

Of course, the people who can go to the Yang family with Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin, Fang Yun and others are not unknown.

The so-called people gather by like, things by groups, and the lifters are also divided into three, six, nine, etc., like Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, who have excellent grades, are naturally the highest level of existence in Huguang, and other lifters can't get close to their circle.

Yang Lian originally had a party in the evening, but he knew that Huguang's lifter would come to visit, so he postponed the entertainment, and it was an important task for him to select talents in Huguang's lifter, after all, he had to plan for the future.

What is particularly important is that Yang Lian is now fighting fiercely with the Chu Party for Huguang's nationality, and both sides want to expand their own strength by absorbing Jinshi from Huguang's nationality, so they naturally have to start selecting from these moves to Beijing.

Yang Lian is of medium stature, a little thin, with a kind face, talking and laughing with Li Hongyu and other Hu Guangjuzi in the living room, and the atmosphere seems very relaxed.

Among the Huguang Juzi who came to visit this time, Yang Lian valued Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and Fang Yun the most, not because the three of them were the top three in the Huguang Township Test, but because the three of them had very strong governance skills.

In other words, Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and Fang Yun have quite a city government, which is more suitable for open and secret battles and deceit in the officialdom.

Needless to say, Li Hongyu didn't say that he led the cracking of the bloody cases in Mingyue Pavilion and Qingyuan County, and for this reason, Wuchang Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion had already written to the Criminal Department to show their merits.

Zhao Xin is also a participant in the two cases of Mingyue Pavilion and Qingyuan County, and can be said to be Li Hongyu's right-hand man.

As for Fang Yun, as the leader of the Changsha Mansion, he was able to withstand the pressure and work with Li Hongyu to find out the case of the Yue Pavilion, so that the township test from Changsha Mansion was enough to prove his courage and ability.

Yang Lian naturally knew that Wu Liangsi and other members of the Chu Party were also fighting for Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin, Fang Yun and other Huguang people to prepare for the expansion of their strength in the future, so he must express enough goodwill to everyone.

Because it was the first time they met, Yang Lian naturally couldn't talk about government affairs with Li Hongyu and others, so he mainly chatted about family life, but he admired Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and Fang Yun in his words, which made Shen Bocheng and Yang Renxiao and others only secretly envious.

Although the literati have been inferior to each other since ancient times, Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin, and Fang Yun have made Huguang Juzi worship through the Mingyue Pavilion case, as if they are already the leaders of Huguang Juzi, even the arrogant Shen Bocheng and Yang Renxiao can only bow to the advantage.

It is precisely because of this that Shen Bocheng called Li Hongyu when he came to find Yang Lian, and he had invisibly recognized the identity of Li Hongyu's leader.

As the night became darker, Li Hongyu and his party got up to say goodbye, and Yang Lian asked his eldest son Yang Yun to send him off, which can be regarded as favoring Li Hongyu and others.

"Master, what happy event did you encounter today?" Back in the back house, Mrs. Yang saw that Yang Lian was in a good mood with a faint smile on her face, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Madam, Xianggong found that there are several rising stars in Huguang Jinke's exam, if he can be a high school jinshi, then it will undoubtedly be a blessing for the imperial court."

Yang Lian said to Mrs. Yang with a smile when he heard this, after his previous observations, he was very satisfied with Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin and others, and they were very safe in terms of knowledge and response.

Especially Li Hongyu, don't look like he is neither humble nor arrogant, but Zhao Xin, Fang Yun and others are all looking forward to their words with their horses, and people with this kind of charm and means are definitely rare talents.

"Master, my fellow villagers from the Criminal Department said that our Huguang has produced a powerful Xie Yuan, and has successively cracked the two major bloody cases of Wuchang Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion, so that both governments have asked the Criminal Department for their credit." Mrs. Yang smiled slightly when she heard this, "My lord can see this person today." ”

"I saw it, a talent, young and promising." Yang Lian smiled and replied.

As soon as he returned to Beijing, he heard about Li Hongyu from the officials of Huguang in the Donglin Party, and was very surprised that such a figure had appeared in Huguang, you must know that the cases of Wuchang Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion are not simple, which makes the two government governments helpless, and Li Hong actually found out about it in a short period of time, and his ability naturally needs not be said.

"Master, will he follow the master?" Mrs. Yang felt that Yang Lian valued Li Hongyu very much, so she asked with some concern, after all, there were not only Yang Lian but also Wu Liangsi and other officials from Huguang in the capital.

"He should be able to tell the difference between right and wrong!"

Yang Lian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said slowly, Li Hongyu's attitude in front of him was too upright, so that he couldn't see what Li Hongyu was thinking, unlike Shen Bocheng's words that revealed the meaning of following.
