After Empress Dowager Zhang left the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Xuande immediately issued an edict to let the Three Law Divisions and the Gyeonggi Governor's Office reopen the court trial of the arquebus case in the Bafang Warehouse on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the senior officials of the Cabinet, the Military Cabinet, and the five governments and six ministries all went to hear the trial.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a trial during the New Year, and there are so many important officials of the court to hear the trial.

After Emperor Xuande's edict was issued, the civil and military officials in the court immediately realized that Li Yuntian was going to get out of the whirlpool of the arquebus case in the Bafang Warehouse, and a group of people were going to be unlucky.

Obviously, if Li Yuntian has nothing to do with the arquebus case of the Bafang Warehouse, then someone else will bear the corresponding responsibility.

At the same time, the news that Li Yuntian died in the fire of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion spread all over the capital like a whirlwind, causing an uproar in the capital and becoming a topic of discussion in the streets and alleys.

Regarding the fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Palace, rumors spread all over the city, and all kinds of speculations flew in the sky.

Among them, the rumor that Li Yuntian was killed by Emperor Xuande occupied the mainstream market, because the outside world had already known that the arson was the chief eunuch and the left eunuch Cheng Wang Yu under the deliberate spread of Ah Qiu, and the eunuch was the head of the twenty-four yamen of the inner court, and no one could be mobilized except Emperor Xuande.

In order to ensure the stability of the Xiaowu army camp outside the city, Xiaoguo Gong Wang Jian, Wuping Hou Liang Shaojie and An Wuhou Li Daniu and other Xiaowu military nobles were all stationed in the military camp to appease the army and avoid turmoil in the Xiaowu army.

Generally speaking, the defense of the capital is the weakest during the Chinese New Year, when the military camp is immersed in the festive atmosphere of the New Year, but due to the death of Li Yuntian and the serious illness of Emperor Xuande, the Gyeonggi Governor's Office specially strengthened the defense and arranged double soldiers to be on duty.

In the evening, the town of the state of the mansion.

Different from the surrounding colorful and joyful houses, the door of the Zhenguo Mansion is hung with vegetarian food, and the two white lanterns sway gently in the breeze to look very eye-catching, and the whole house is quiet and deadly, which makes people feel extremely depressed.

At this moment, the hall of the back house.

"Eldest sister, Xianggong was killed for no reason, I can't watch Xianggong suffer this kind of grievance!" Lei Ting, who was dressed in plain clothes, got up from the seat angrily, arched her hand to Zhou Yuting, who was sitting on the main seat, and then walked away angrily.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuxin, Lu Calyx and Lian Xiang, who were present, stood up in surprise, and looked at Lei Ting who was walking towards the door with a cold mask with a concerned expression.

Lei Ting rushed from Huai'an this afternoon, because she was pregnant, she returned to Huai'an at the beginning of last year to be served by her mother's family, and accompanied her parents by the way, Lei Ting gave birth to a big fat boy in June.

Originally, Lei Ting was going to return to Beijing in March to take her son to see Li Yuntian, but she suddenly learned the news that Li Yuntian had entered the prison of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion a year ago, and she thought of Liu Ren and his wife's false accusation against Li Yuntian not long ago, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in their hearts, and rushed over from Huai'an in a restless manner.

Unexpectedly, Lei Ting was still a step late, and after entering the city, she heard about Li Yuntian's burial in the fire of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, and her legs were weak and she almost fainted.

After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Lei Ting was completely enraged, she never imagined that Emperor Xuande would be so ruthless to Li Yuntianxia, who had made great achievements, if it wasn't for Li Yuntian who went to Nanjing City to report to Emperor Xuande and escort Emperor Xuande into Beijing, then now the Ming Dynasty may be the king of Han.

Lei Ting can't help but feel regretful now, she knew that Emperor Xuande was so unkind, she tied Emperor Xuande to the King of Han back then, so that Li Yuntian could not only be reused by the King of Han, but also would not end up in such a miserable situation now.

For Lei Ting, Li Yuntian is the most important person in her life, since Li Yuntian was killed by Emperor Xuande, then she naturally no longer needs to be loyal to Emperor Xuande, but wants to avenge Li Yuntian.

"If you leave like this, how can Xianggong feel at ease under Jiuquan? The reason why the prime minister went to the prison of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion was not only to fulfill the friendship with the emperor, but also for the hundreds of people up and down the Zhenguo Mansion, and also for the people of the world to have a peaceful world. ”

Seeing that Lei Ting was about to stretch out her hand to pull the door, Zhou Yuting got up from her seat and said to Lei Ting with a sad expression, "If you do this, you will live up to the hard work of the Xianggong." ”

"Eldest sister, the younger sister knows that Xianggong is dedicated to the court, but in the little sister's heart, Xianggong is the most important, and she must seek justice for Xianggong!"

Lei Ting stopped when she heard this, and said without looking back, "Little sister believes that the third sister, the fourth sister and the eighth sister, the ninth sister and the little sister have the same idea. ”

After speaking, Lei Ting opened the door and strode away, leaving only Zhou Yuting, Zhu Yuxin, Lu Calyx, and Lian Xiang there gloomy.

Zhou Yuting's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, in her opinion, Lei Ting's choice would make the Zhenguo Mansion face the worst situation, that is, Lei Ting would unite Chen Ningning, Zheng Wanrou, Liu Wenqing and Wu Qian to attack the imperial court, and a large-scale war would break out in the Ming Dynasty.

The third sister in Lei Ting's mouth refers to Chen Ningning, the fourth sister is Zheng Wanrou, the eighth sister is Wu Qian, and the ninth sister is Liu Wenqing.

Wu Qian is the daughter of Nasha, the former chief of the Occupy City State of Dogesa, Li Yuntian let Nasha stay in the Governor's Mansion in Jiaozhi in order to stabilize the situation in Jiaozhi, after all, Li Yuntian, who is the governor of Jiaozhi in Guangxi, is unable to sit in the Governor's Mansion due to his busy official duties, and needs someone to take care of the Governor's Palace, and Nasha's identity is the most suitable, and she can assist the Governor's Mansion in dealing with the relationship with the local forces in Jiaozhi.

Zhou Yuting can be sure that Li Yuntian died in the prison of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion for no apparent reason, and according to Wu Qian's character, he will definitely not give up, you must know that Wu Qian is also a person with a distinctive personality, otherwise he would not have gone north during the Jiaozhi Rebellion, and wanted to pass through the war zone to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Jiaozhi rebels.

What is particularly important is that Li Yuntian has a huge influence in Jiaozhi, and the local tribes all bow to Li Yuntian.

Others may not know, but Zhou Yuting knows very well that Li Yuntian's compulsory military system in Jiaozhi makes Jiaozhi hide soldiers from the people, and once a war breaks out, he can gather 200,000 troops who have received special military training, and then rely on the special terrain and climate of Jiaozhi, even if the Ming Dynasty sends a million troops, it is difficult to deal with it, after all, Jiaozhi is no longer what it used to be, both economically and militarily are improving rapidly.

Lei Ting, Chen Ningning, Zheng Wanrou, Liu Wenqing plus Wu Qian, Zhou Yuting can't imagine what the five of them will toss Da Ming into if they make trouble.

Among the five Lei Ting, Zhou Yuting is particularly worried that it is not Lei Ting, nor Chen Ningning, Zheng Wanrou and Wu Qian, but Liu Wenqing, who seems to be the most powerful, she knows very well that although Liu Wenqing seems to be weak and weak, she is the most ruthless of the five, and even Zheng Wanrou, who has always acted violently, has to bow down, and is very likely to do something extreme.

Facing the scene in front of her, Zhou Yuting seemed helpless for a while, although she was the master mother of the Zhenguo Mansion, she should control the overall situation of the Zhenguo Mansion at this time, but the matter of avenging Lei Ting and Li Yuntian was not something she could control, because she knew very well that Lei Ting and the others, who had a deep relationship with Li Yuntian, had now lost their minds and couldn't listen to her persuasion at all, so she couldn't let people tie up Lei Ting? Wouldn't that be a joke for outsiders to see?

"Madam, the sixth lady changed into civilian clothes and went to the martial arts hall." In silence, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper walked into the hall and said to Zhou Yuting in a deep voice.

A wry smile suddenly flashed at the corner of Zhou Yuting's mouth when she heard this, it seemed that Lei Ting had already prevented her from controlling her hand, so she went to the martial arts hall.

Although Zhou Yuting is the main mother of the Zhenguo Mansion, her influence in the Jiangwutang and Xiaowujun is far inferior to Lei Ting, and under the protection of those military attachés in the Jiangwutang, she has no chance to control Lei Ting at all, and she is not willing to do so, otherwise she will not let Lei Ting leave.

In Zhou Yuting's opinion, it is also a good thing that Lei Ting can come to the capital at this time, and Lei Ting's words can make people panic and the leaderless martial arts hall and the Xiaowu army to settle down, and avoid being used by some people who must have ulterior motives.

"Eldest sister, if the sixth sister insists on avenging the prime minister, what should we do?" Zhu Yuxin pondered for a while, and looked at Zhou Yuting worriedly, as a child of the royal family, she definitely didn't want to see Lei Ting and others attack the court.

"Xianggong once said that the Zhenguo Mansion is one, if the six sisters want to avenge Xianggong, then we have to stand on their side!" Hearing this, Green Calyx and Lianxiang looked at Zhou Yuting with concern waiting for her decision, Zhou Yuting pondered for a while and said categorically, she didn't want to see a split in the Zhenguo Mansion, so she naturally had to take a compromise, after all, Lei Ting and the others did this for Li Yuntian, which is understandable.

If it weren't for the housewife of the Zhenguo Mansion, Zhou Yuting would definitely make the same choice as Lei Ting, but she had to think about the future of the Zhenguo Mansion, and she envied Lei Ting in her heart that she could be happy and revenge.

"Fifth sister, I know you are very embarrassed, you can go back to the palace after the funeral of the Guogong Mansion is completed." As she spoke, Zhou Yuting looked at Zhu Yuxin softly, standing in Zhu Yuxin's position, she could understand Zhu Yuxin's complicated feelings at this time.

"Eldest sister, since the younger sister has married into the Zhenguo Mansion, then she is a person from the Zhenguo Mansion, and now that the Zhenguo Mansion is in trouble, how can the little sister leave?" Zhu Yuxin smiled slightly when she heard this, and declined Zhou Yuting's kindness in one bite, ready to share weal and woe with the Zhenguo Mansion.

"Second sister, as soon as the funeral is over, you will dismiss the people in the house, we can't affect them." Zhou Yuting's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of relief, and then asked Lu Calyx in a deep voice, Lu Calyx can be described as the big housekeeper of the Zhenguo Mansion, and she is responsible for all the affairs of the family.

"Little sister understands." Hearing this, the green calyx bowed slightly to Zhou Yuting.

"Seventh sister, after the funeral, you take the children in the house to Shanhaiguan, as long as you get to the outside of the customs, you will be safe, and then take a boat to Jiaozhi to join the eighth sister." Zhou Yuting hesitated for a moment, looked up at Lianxiang, and solemnly instructed that she was not afraid of death but wanted to ensure the safety of the children in the house.

"Little Sister will definitely send them safely to Dohai City." Lian Xiang knew that the situation was serious, and Zhou Yuting did this to avoid the worries of Lei Ting and the others, so she nodded sternly.

"I hope Xianggong won't blame me under Jiuquan." Zhou Yuting sighed, and said faintly, she didn't know whether her choice was right or wrong now, the current situation was extremely complicated, and she did not have the slightest hesitation to make a decision, otherwise it would lead to a catastrophe, so she could only resign herself to fate.
