(Recommended reading: Due to Emperor Wanli's edict, Li Hongyu stayed at home with Qin Yue, Naren Tuoya, and Rou'er, and didn't pay attention to the affairs of the court at all, anyway, Emperor Wanli was his shield, and Emperor Wanli would help him block anything else.

In the past few days, the most discussed thing in the capital government and opposition is that Li Hongyu was angry at the crown for Naren Tuoya, and transferred troops to smash the Yingchun Pavilion, who would have thought that the originally gentle and elegant Li Hongyu also had such a hot side.

Not only that, but the pattern on the **** in the capital has also been disturbed with the arrest of the seventh master, and the seventh master has been imprisoned from the prison of the new army outside the city into the edict of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town, ten ** is over, and the power vacuum he left behind will be filled by new forces.

After the Seventh Master's family was arrested and put into the new army camp, they originally wanted to find those powerful people who had dealings with the Seventh Master to save him, but they all ate closed doors in the other party's house, and those powerful people who called the Seventh Master brothers and sisters on weekdays drew a line with him, for fear of being implicated by him.

And with the seventh master being imprisoned in the edict, his family was also affected, and he was also arrested and imprisoned by the brocade guards of the Beizhen Fusi, ancient crimes were usually family-style, and the family of the seventh master would naturally be involved.

In mid-April, the Wanli Emperor issued an order to suspend Li Hongyu for one year on the grounds that he deliberately destroyed the Yingchun Pavilion as a punishment, and did not mention the matter of privately transferring the new army.

This holy decree of the Wanli Emperor undoubtedly ended the disputes and discussions against Li Hongyu in the court, and everyone knew that the Wanli Emperor was favoring Li Hongyu from this painless punishment, because Li Hongyu's family was rich and did not care about a year's salary.

However, no one in the court expressed dissatisfaction, and no one cared about this result, and the Chu Party had reached a tacit understanding with the Qi Party, the Zhejiang Party, and even the Donglin Party in the past few days, turning Li Hongyu's matter into a small matter and a small matter.

In fact, not only the people of the Chu Party, but also Yang Lian, who was also from Huguang, was also busy with Li Hongyu's affairs, and it can be seen that he values Li Hongyu very much.

This made Li Hongyu's case easily closed after causing a sensation in the capital, which made many officials both envious and jealous, and if it had been someone else, I am afraid that he would have been dismissed from his post and investigated a long time ago.

Li Hongyu experienced the importance of factions in officialdom for the first time, and he made such a big deal and ended it in a hurry, as if it had never happened.

The reason why the Wanli Emperor chose to issue this holy decree in mid-April was because it was time for Li Hongyu to set off for the south, and he had to end Li Hongyu's trouble before that.

Li Hongyu had already prepared for going south, which was the most important thing for him, so on the second day of Emperor Wanli's decree, he entered the palace to bid farewell to Emperor Wanli, preparing to go south to Yangzhou, and go to meet those top wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Wanli also attached great importance to Li Hongyu's southward trip, he not only wanted to profit from overseas trade, but also wanted to know how rich the people of the Ming Dynasty were, a quota of 200,000 taels had shocked him, and this was still the reserve price.

After instructing Li Hongyu about some things, Emperor Wanli asked Li Hongyu to bid farewell to the imperial grandson, Li Hongyu was the teacher of the imperial grandson, so he naturally wanted to say goodbye to the imperial grandson.

Li Hongyu keenly noticed that Emperor Wanli's complexion was not very good, otherwise he would not have let him leave so soon, but he couldn't say it, you must know that it is a capital crime to talk about the safety of the Son of Heaven.

Qingning Palace.

"Compiled by Lee!" After saying goodbye to Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen, Li Hongyu left Qingning Palace with his head down, and was suddenly stopped by someone in the courtyard of Qingning Palace, his voice was a little shrill and thin.

"Mr. Wang." Li Hongyu raised his head and looked at a middle-aged eunuch who walked over with a smile, this eunuch was Wang An, the head of Qingning Palace, and the prince's confidant.

Compared with Wang An, Wei Zhongxian is not worth mentioning now, after all, the crown prince is the future prince of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao, the imperial grandson, is the prince of the prince, plus Zhu Youxiao is young and has no power, so Wei Zhongxian has nothing to rely on, so it is naturally Wang An's high power.

"Li Bian, I heard that you are going to Jiangnan, that is a good place." Wang An came to Li Hongyu and said with a smile.

"This official is also the first time to go, and I heard that Jiangnan is prosperous and rich, and it is as beautiful as a paradise on earth.

Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said quietly, "I don't know what Mr. Wang wants to bring?" ”

"Actually, the miscellaneous family is not interested in Jiangnan things, it is prepared for the prince and the ladies of the harem, and I bother Li to compile and purchase some Jiangnan specialties and come back, and the miscellaneous family will settle the account for you at that time." Wang An smiled when he heard this, and opened his mouth to explain to Li Hongyu.

"Mr. Wang, you are too much of an outsider, filial piety to the prince and the mother is within the part of the officials, how can you let the chief manager break the bank?" Li Hongyu stepped forward with a smile, lowered his voice and said, "I don't know if the chief manager can have a place to live outside the palace, and at that time, the official will ask the chief manager to also send a Jiangnan specialty to try." ”

"Compile Lee, you're too polite." Wang An laughed when he heard this, leaned over to Li Hongyu's ear and whispered a few words, told Li Hongyu about his residence in the capital, and then exchanged a few words with Li Hongyu before leaving.

"Humph!" Looking at Wang An's distant back, Li Hongyu's brows frowned slightly, and he snorted coldly and walked away, but he didn't expect Wang An to ask him for benefits openly, which was really arrogant enough.

However, this also reflects from the side that Emperor Wanli's health is already relatively bad, otherwise Wang An would not be so blatant, he regarded Li Hongyu's errand as a fat gap with plenty of oil and water.

Although Li Hongyu was a little annoyed in his heart, he would not offend Wang An, and after the death of Emperor Wanli, Wang An would obviously be in charge of the ceremonial supervisor with the crown prince's accession to the throne, and if he didn't have a good relationship with this kind of person, he would definitely encounter a lot of trouble at that time.

In late April, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

A big boat with a yellow flag went down the river, and the boats along the way gave way after seeing the yellow flag on the boat, according to the Ming Dynasty, only the emperor sent the Qincha on the boat to hang the yellow flag, and the rest of the ships naturally had to avoid.

In the cabin, Li Hongyu enjoyed the Mongolian dance danced by Naren Toya with great interest, and Naren Toya was dressed in Mongolian costume, which was even more delicate and beautiful.

After this short period of recuperation, Naren Toya has recovered from the time of the Spring Pavilion and has become a lively and cheerful personality again.

In fact, the day after Li Hongyu set off, the Wanli Emperor issued a holy decree to execute the three jailers of the Wanping County Ya Prison who attempted to rape Naren Tuoya at the entrance of the vegetable market.

The reason why Emperor Wanli gave such a heavy hand, in addition to appeasing Naren Tuoya, is also related to Naren Tuoya's identity as the county lord, if the perpetrators are not severely punished, then where is the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty?

Hongyu, who went south this time, didn't want to bring his daughter, but Naren Tuoya came thousands of miles to find Li Hongyu naturally didn't want to be separated from him, and she was also full of longing and yearning for the prosperous and wealthy Jiangnan, so Li Hongyu took her with him.

Naren Toya is different from Qin Yue and Rou'er, she has lived unrestrained since she was a child, without so many dogma and etiquette, and usually does things as she wants, otherwise she would not have come to the capital from the grassland to find Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu was worried that if she didn't take her, she would secretly run away, and the matter would be troublesome.

Lian'er stood aside and looked at the dancing Naren Toya with interest, she is now Naren Toya's personal maid, because she is smart and well-behaved and understands the world, so Li Hongyu is very relieved to have her by Naren Toya's side.

"My lord, Huai'an has arrived!"

After Naren Toya finished the dance, Li Hongyu smiled and applauded, and at this time, Ma Xianglin came in from outside the door and reported in a deep voice.

"After Huai'an, it is Yangzhou."

Hearing this, Li Hongyu stood up, stretched lazily and said with a smile, "Huai'an, like Yangzhou, is one of the four famous cities along the canal, and it must also be a prosperous and rich place, let's go ashore and see the excitement." ”

"Hmm!" Naren Toya's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded her head again and again, with an excited look on her face, she had already wanted to go ashore on the boat all the way.

The most famous in the city of Huai'an is the Caoyun Governor Yamen and the Caoyun General Soldier Yamen, the Ming Dynasty in order to manage the transportation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in Huai'an set up the Caoyun General Soldier Yamen and the Caoyun Governor Yamen, a text and a martial arts, great power, but all the affairs on the canal are under its control.

Therefore, Huai'an is a good central hub for the canal, and the reason why Li Hongyu wants to go ashore is naturally not to see the excitement, but to find the Yamen of the Governor of Caoyun and the Yamen of the Caoyun General Army.

"It's coming, it's coming!" On the busy Huai'an wharf, a group of civil and military officials gathered there in groups to talk, and they didn't know who shouted, and they all cheered up and lined up to greet each other.

On the river not far away, Li Hongyu's big boat appeared in front of the officials, and it was obvious that they were here to greet Li Hongyu.

According to the rules of officialdom, the local officials must come to greet each place after the emperor arrives, which is the most basic etiquette in officialdom, so the officials of Huai'an waited here early to greet Li Hongyu.

The people standing in front of the officials are naturally Wang Chengming, the chief soldier of Caoyun, and Zhao Yizhan, the governor of Caoyun, in the first year of Yongle, Ming Chengzu set up the post of Caoyun commander-in-chief, which was held by Xungui, and led 120,000 Caoyun soldiers to be responsible for Caoyun.

However, fifty years later, Emperor Jingtai set up a Caoyun Governor with a civilian official as the Cao Yun Governor, who was in charge of Cao affairs in the same way as the general army, and was called the Wen and Wu Yuan, both of which enjoyed the same powers.

At the beginning of each year, the general cao inspects Yangzhou, manages the passage of the cao boats in Guazhou and Huai'an, and the general soldiers go to Xuzhou to supervise the cao boats passing over 100 Buhong and Xuzhou Hong, etc., and the same is true for Cao's participation in politics and escort to Beijing.

With the rise of the civilian official group in the Ming Dynasty, the Caoyun General Army was gradually suppressed by the Caoyun Governor, and gradually became the vassal of the Caoyun Governor, and the 120,000 Caoyun soldiers under his command also became a mirror and a serious shortage.

Therefore, in history, in the first year of the Apocalypse, the civil official group in the court instigated the young Emperor of the Apocalypse to remove the post of Caoyun Commander-in-Chief, leaving only the Caoyun Governor.
