"Alas!"

Thinking that he might be walking on thin ice in the future, Li Hongyu sighed and walked to Qingning Palace with a chamberlain.

After his previous trip to the Dongnuan Pavilion, Li Hongyu realized that the situation in the capital was even more severe than he imagined, otherwise Emperor Wanli would be in such a hurry to let him go to see the crown prince.

When Emperor Wanli issued this edict, Li Hongyu clearly noticed the chill in Zheng Guifei's eyes, and it was obvious that Zheng Guifei would not easily give up the last opportunity to ascend the throne of King Fufu.

In fact, the relationship between Li Hongyu and Zheng Guifei is also very harmonious, which is naturally because of Zhu Wanting's matchmaking, Emperor Wanli would not have thought that there would be emotional entanglements between Zhu Wanting and Li Hongyu.

Qingning Palace.

"Xiaguan Hanlin revised Li Hongyu to meet His Royal Highness the Prince." After passing through the courtesy of the chamberlain, Li Hongyu soon saw Zhu Changluo in the main hall and bowed to him solemnly.

"Li Hanlin, I heard that you came back from Yangzhou, did this trip to Yangzhou go well?"

Zhu Changluo is in his thirties, his appearance is somewhat similar to that of Emperor Wanli, but his body is a little fat, he is enjoying the song and dance under the service of two young and beautiful women, and he said with a smile after seeing Li Hongyu coming, "The imperial grandson often mentions you, and I wish you would come back to teach as soon as possible." ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, everything went smoothly for the lower officials."

Li Hongyu bowed down when he heard this, and said to Zhu Changluo seriously, "Thanks to the importance of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, His Majesty is very honored, and he will make persistent efforts to live up to the importance of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson." ”

"Li Hanlin, you must have enjoyed the singing and dancing of Jiangnan from Yangzhou, let's see how they compare."

Zhu Changluo already knew that it was Emperor Wanli who asked Li Hongyu to come to see him, and because of Zhu Youxiao's relationship, he also had a lot of good feelings for Li Hongyu, and after glancing at the dancing palace maids, he motioned for Li Hongyu to sit on the side.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Yangzhou is the richest place in the world, the market is prosperous with singing and dancing, and its music absorbs and integrates the strengths of various places, so compared with the wealth and grace of the palace song and dance, but Jiangnan song and dance is better than the old and the new."

"What a new one!" Zhu Changluo couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said to Li Hongyu, "Li Hanlin will often run errands in Jiangnan in the future, but remember to let this palace see the novelty of Jiangnan song and dance." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, when the lower officials go to Yangzhou again, they will definitely take the lead in explaining this matter, and those Jiangnan dancing girls can perform for His Royal Highness the Prince, which is a blessing for several generations." Li Hongyu naturally agreed, not everyone has the honor of having a prince on an errand.

Besides, this is not a difficult matter, as long as he lets his mouth out, then those famous dancing girls in Jiangnan will naturally take the initiative to send them to the door.

After enjoying two songs and dances in the main hall, Li Hongyu got up and said goodbye, and went to see the emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen were in class, and they were taught by a white-haired old Zhan Shi in Zhan Shifu, with a straight face and an extremely serious expression, which made the atmosphere of the scene dull and depressing.

Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen are still young, where can they listen to such a boring preaching, although they sit upright, their expressions are a little sluggish, and it seems that they have already traveled around the world and don't know what they are thinking.

Li Hongyu's arrival seemed to be the old Zhan Shi stopped teaching, Li Hongyu came this time, but he was ordered by Emperor Wanli, so naturally he couldn't let Li Hongyu wait all the time.

Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen were very happy to see Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu is much more interesting than those dull Zhan things, one of their favorite teachers is Li Hongyu, and the other is Zhao Xin, who can always entertain and make the two feel happy.

"His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, now that the emperor is seriously ill, the Imperial Sun can often go to visit, and Cheng Huan knees to relieve the emperor's boredom."

When leaving, Li Hongyu bowed to Zhu Youxiao and said solemnly, he knew that Emperor Wanli's limit was approaching and his favorite King Fu could not serve by his side, so he had to let Zhu Youxiao accompany Emperor Wanli.

In addition to King Fu, I am afraid that Zhu Youxiao is the descendant of Emperor Wanli who wants to be by his side the most, and he prefers Zhu Youxiao's grandson to Zhu Changluo, since King Fu left Beijing, he has pinned all his efforts on Zhu Youxiao's body, otherwise he would not have been appointed as the emperor's grandson from generation to generation.

"Hmm." Zhu Youxiao suddenly bowed his head slightly when he heard this, Li Hongyu is a teacher he likes and respects, he can always listen to what he says, and seeing Li Hongyu's serious expression this time, he will naturally take this matter to heart.

It stands to reason that after Emperor Wanli became seriously ill, in addition to Zheng Guifei, there were Zhu Changluo and Zhu Youxiao, but Emperor Wanli had a cold attitude towards Zhu Changluo, and Zheng Guifei is now in charge of the affairs of the palace, where can Zhu Changluo enter the door of the Qianqing Palace, and by the way, Zhu Youxiao can't see Emperor Wanli.

"His Royal Highness Taisun, let Li Xuanzhi take you there!" Li Hongyu knew that it was a little inappropriate for Zhu Youxiao to go alone, so he then opened his mouth and said to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Changluo is the crown prince, if he doesn't go and Zhu Youxiao goes to see Emperor Wanli, it will be unethical, show Zhu Changluo's unfilial piety, and let the outside world know that Emperor Wanli and Zhu Changluo's father and son are out of harmony.

Therefore, if Zhu Youxiao went to see Emperor Wanli alone, he would be rejected because of the customization of the etiquette, which is also the reason why Emperor Wanli has not summoned Zhu Youxiao, and he has to think about the face of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Changluo has two servants surnamed Li, in order to distinguish between the two, they call them East Li and West Li, and the "Li Election Waiter" in Li Hongyu's mouth refers to the West Li who is deeply favored by Zhu Changluo.

Zhu Youzhen's mother, Mrs. Liu, died in the 42th year of Wanli, and she was raised by Zhu Youxiao's mother, Wang Cairen, but Wang died in the 47th year of Wanli.

In this way, Zhu Changluo handed over Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen to Xi Li to raise, although Xi Li was a waiter, he already had the demeanor of a princess.

Obviously, Xi Li's fate is linked to Zhu Changluo, so she must do her best to help Zhu Youxiao, with Xi Li, then the etiquette can be considered, after all, Xi Li can replace Zhu Changluo to ask Emperor Wanli for peace.

Besides, Xi Li Bingxue is smart, and a woman who can be favored by Zhu Changluo is not an idle person, which is quite similar to Concubine Zheng Guifei, and Li Hongyu can rest assured if she helps Zhu Youzhen.

"Hmm!" After all, Zhu Youxiao is sixteen, and he is no longer a teenager who does not know the world, knowing that Li Hongyu's move is for his good, he nodded again when he heard the words.

Seeing this, Li Hongyu bowed to Zhu Youxiao, bowed and got up to leave, from a personal point of view, he hoped that Zhu Youxiao could accompany Emperor Wanli through the last period of his life.

"Brother Yu, entering the palace today is quite smooth, right?" After returning to Li's house, Qin Yue, who was waiting in the living room in the front yard, poured Li Hongyu a cup of tea and asked with a concerned expression.

Now the situation in the capital is complicated, Qin Yue is a little worried about Li Hongyu's safety, after all, this involves the issue of standing in the officialdom, if Li Hongyu takes a wrong step, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Smooth."

Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, and after taking a sip of tea, he said, "The emperor asked me to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems that the emperor intends to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne." ”

"Concubine Zheng doesn't think so, recently she has not only had close contacts with the nobles in the capital, but also had a lot of contact with the civil officials in the court." Qin Yue's eyebrows suddenly raised slightly when she heard this, this is not good news, she doesn't want Li Hongyu to stand on the opposite side of Concubine Zheng.

"It is precisely because of this that the emperor asked me to see the crown prince, compared with the Beijing army and the pro-army in the capital, the emperor trusts the new army outside the city more." Li Hongyu put down the teacup in his hand and said helplessly, "I hope it is better not to use the new army at that time." ”

"Brother Yu, will there really be a fight in the capital after the emperor dies?" Seeing Li Hongyu's worried face, Qin Yue's eyes couldn't help but widen, she never thought that war and conflict would break out in the capital because of the throne.

"It depends on what choice those nobles in the capital make." Li Hongyu bowed slightly when he heard this, this is not that he is unfounded, once the nobles in the capital decide to support Zheng Guifei to seek more benefits, then a big war will be unavoidable, this is the battle for the supreme imperial power in the world, so as long as you get involved, there is no way out.

"Brother Yu, do you think this time the prince can win or King Fu can win?" Hearing this, Qin Yue suddenly smelled a hint of blood, so she lowered her voice and asked.

"The crown prince occupies orthodoxy, and King Fu leans on the imperial concubine, if it really comes to the point where the sword and soldiers meet, it is really hard to say who will kill the deer." Li Hongyu pondered for a moment, frowned and replied, the struggle for the throne has been extremely cruel since ancient times, and he can do anything in order to become the Ninth Five-Year Emperor.

"Brother Yu, do you support the crown prince or the blessed king?" Seeing Li Hongyu's solemn expression, Qin Yue couldn't help but ask softly, Li Hongyu had never stated his position in this matter.

"I am the emperor's grandson's horse, and the prince is the emperor's own prince, if I support King Fu, then how do the people of the world think of me?"

Li Hongyu couldn't help but smile bitterly, in fact, he was destined to support the crown prince in the matter of competing for the crown prince, in addition to his identity, there was another important reason.

According to the historical materials that Li Hongyu knew, the crown prince Zhu Changluo was not in good health, and he died because of the Red Pill case after ascending the throne for more than a month, while Zhu Changxun, the blessed king, was in good health and lived until the day the Ming Dynasty collapsed.

Judging from Li Hongyu's contact with Zhu Changluo, Zhu Changluo has indeed been hollowed out by wine in recent years, although he doesn't say that he doesn't talk about drunken dreams every day, but he has the meaning of self-abandonment.

Speaking of which, the ancient prince really had enough money to take Zhu Changluo's part, because he was not liked by Emperor Wanli, his life can be described as very depressed and depressed, and the Fu King who was eyeing him could take his place as the crown prince at any time.

Even if King Fu was forced to leave Beijing and go to the fiefdom, Zhu Changluo's life was not easy, Emperor Wanli did not pour too much care and emotion into him, and even ******** the heir to the throne, Zhu Youzhen was crowned as the emperor's grandson and carefully cultivated, making him, the crown prince, lose face and have no sense of existence in the court.

Li Hongyu believes that Zhu Changluo, as the crown prince, must have wanted to be angry and strong, but unfortunately he has not been able to get the approval of Emperor Wanli, and he can only give up on himself under great psychological pressure, anyway, Emperor Wanli attaches more importance to Zhu Youxiao, and his prince seems to be a little redundant.
