"Xianggong, who is attacking you in the court?" Returning to the Zhenguo Mansion, Zhou Yuting asked with concern when she saw Li Yuntian.

The so-called popularity is a lot, Wu Xin's impeachment of Li Yuntian at the court meeting today has already spread all over the capital, and has become a topic of conversation among the people after tea and dinner, who would have thought that the dignified Zhenguo Gong would also be impeached one day? This made rumors about whether Li Yuntian was greedy for ink flying.

"Xianggong doesn't know who is behind the scenes, but he has achieved his goal." Li Yuntian shook his head, his expression was quite helpless, because the incident happened suddenly, he had no effective information in his hand, so he couldn't guess who instigated Wu Xin.

"Didn't the emperor order the destruction of that letter, and also sent that Wu Xin to the edict of Fusi in Beizhen?" Hearing that Li Yuntian said that the other party had achieved his goal, Zhou Yuting's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"An unwarranted letter can't hurt the prime minister at all, but this letter can separate the prime minister and the emperor." Li Yuntian smiled bitterly, and explained the mystery in one word, this is the most deadly place for him, and Emperor Xuande is very likely to change from trusting him to being afraid of him.

"The emperor won't fall for the scheme, right?" Zhou Yuting's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked in a coquettish voice, she knew how powerful it was, Li Yuntian was now a loyal minister with high power in the Ming Dynasty, if Emperor Xuande thought that Li Yuntian was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, then Li Yuntian was a virtuous minister who assisted the young master.

On the contrary, if Emperor Xuande suspected that Li Yuntian had different ambitions and wanted to control the Ming Dynasty, then Li Yuntian would be a traitor who could not be defeated.

What is especially important is that the crown prince is only seven years old now, and he is just a child who has nothing to do, and he cannot control the government at all, let alone control a powerful minister with such seniority as Li Yuntian.

Therefore, for Emperor Xuande, taking down Li Yuntian will be a last resort, and Emperor Xuande would rather leave the crown prince with a situation where several forces coexist in the court, rather than see Li Yuntian in the court, one family dominant.

As for the friendship between Li Yuntian and Emperor Xuande, there is a good saying, "the most ruthless emperor family", in the eyes of the sons of heaven in all dynasties, the courtiers are pawns used to consolidate their rule, as long as they threaten the rule of the imperial power, then they will inevitably be abandoned.

"If it were left in the past, the emperor would definitely scoff at this, but now it is different, no one can figure out what the emperor thinks in his heart!" Li Yuntian shook his head at Zhou Yuting again when he heard this, his expression looked a little dignified, now that the situation is urgent, he will not hide some things from Zhou Yuting, no matter how Zhou Yuting is also the hostess of Zhenguogong.

"Why don't I go to the palace tomorrow?" Zhou Yuting saw that Li Yuntian was worried, and immediately realized the severity of the situation, and Liu Mei suddenly frowned slightly, and said to Li Yuntian.

"Go with Yuxin." Li Yuntian thought about it and said in a deep voice.

He knew that Zhou Yuting wanted to find Mrs. Zhang to reconcile with her, so he asked Zhu Yuxin to go with her, hoping to get the support of the Empress Dowager Zhang and use the Empress Dowager Zhang as a breakthrough to resolve the crisis.

"Xianggong, do you want to transfer more people to the mansion?" Zhou Yuting bowed slightly when she heard this, and then thought of something, and couldn't help but ask tentatively, in case of any accidents, she wouldn't sit still.

"The best strategy right now is to stay the same." A smile appeared at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, he knew Zhou Yuting's thoughts, so he reached out and took her in his arms, so things would be big.

Although the current situation is very critical for Li Yuntian, this does not mean that he is helpless, and the worst plan is to escape from the capital and then go to Jiaozhi.

Jiaozhi has been thriving under Li Yuntian's governance over the years, and it has been a thriving scene, which makes Li Yuntian's position in Jiaozhi as stable as Mount Tai, even Emperor Xuande cannot shake it.

After all, Jiaozhi is too far away from the capital, and the officials in Jiaozhi are all promoted by Li Yuntian, so Emperor Xuande's influence is limited in Jiaozhi.

Moreover, Li Yuntian also has a deep friendship with local magnates such as Jiaozhi and Champa in Jiaozhi, and if Li Yuntian falls out with Daming, they will definitely fully support Li Yuntian, who has already gained their trust.

The reason why Zhou Yuting has the confidence to escape from the capital is because many of the people guarding the gate of the capital are Zhou Zheng's subordinates, plus Li Yuntian is famous, no one will definitely intercept him desperately, so Li Yuntian and others will be given a chance.

In fact, as long as Li Yuntian can escape from the capital, then he will have the initiative, and there are 30,000 Xiaowu soldiers stationed in the Xiaowu army camp outside the city, and Li Yuntian's strategy and prestige will definitely find a reason to mobilize him to attack the capital, but in this way, the capital will fall into a war, and the people will be disturbed by the war.

Of course, attacking the capital is the worst plan, and it will confirm Li Yuntian's reputation as a rebellious minister and thief, I am afraid that Li Yuntian does not want to see this happen.

Once a war breaks out in the capital, the Ming army in Juyongguan will definitely quickly move south to reinforce, and the 30,000 Xiaowu troops will be attacked by the enemy.

For Li Yuntian, what he relied on to attack the capital was the Franco machine gun, but there were only two Fran machine gun battalions in the Xiaowu army camp on the outskirts of Beijing, while the Shenji battalion in the capital had three Fran machine gun battalions, which could completely suppress the two artillery battalions of the Xiaowu army on the city wall.

Especially Li Yuntian's disadvantage is that the capital not only has a wide moat, but also the power of the Franco cannon is limited to collapse the city wall of the capital, and only by blasting open the gate of the capital can the city attack the city, but the Ming army defending the city must also think of this, and will definitely defend the city gate.

Therefore, it will be difficult for Li Yuntian to capture the city gate in a short period of time, and he will be attacked by the enemy at that time, and the situation is worrying.

Therefore, for Li Yuntian, the best strategy after leaving the city was to take the "Mingyang" three-masted battleship docked at Tianjin Port to Jiaozhi, and then sit and wait for the terminally ill Emperor Xuande to run out of oil.

At that time, all the forces in the court will definitely be busy fighting for power and profit, and they will have no time to take care of Li Yuntian in Jiaozhi, and then give Li Yuntian the initiative to control the situation, so that he can not only dominate Jiaozhi but also go north to plot the Central Plains.

Of course, fleeing to Jiaozhi is Li Yuntian's worst choice, he will not take this step lightly unless he has to, the reason is very simple, Emperor Xuande will also think of the things he can think of, and he will definitely strengthen his vigilance, and this is probably the scene that Wu Xin's people are most willing to see.

Moreover, Li Yuntian was worried that he would not be able to escape from Gyeonggi, and the news that the Mingyang had stopped at Tianjin Port could not be concealed from Emperor Xuande, if Emperor Xuande sent someone to take the Mingyang one step ahead of time and deliberately let him go to Tianjin Port, then he would have to bear the charge of rebellion, and Emperor Xuande could logically attack him.

Therefore, after combining various factors, Li Yuntian feels that it is better to brake quietly, and the more he does in the current situation, the more wrong he will be, it is better to wait and see how the other party plays his cards.

In other words, the person who has absolute ruling power in the Gyeonggi region is Emperor Xuandeok, and although Li Yuntian can escape back to Jiaozhi alone, he can only fight to the end for the safety of his wife and children.

The next morning, Zhou Yuting and Zhu Yuxin entered the Forbidden City and went to Cining Palace to greet Empress Dowager Zhang, and the two sides had a very happy conversation.

Empress Dowager Zhang also heard about yesterday's incident, and knew that Zhou Yuting and Zhu Yuxin came to listen to the rumors in the palace this time, so she comforted the two with a smile, saying that Li Yuntian was the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, how could he be framed by the villain.

When they came out of the Forbidden City, Zhou Yuting and Zhu Yuxin's mood calmed down a lot, judging from the words and deeds of Empress Dowager Zhang, she disdained Wu Xin's impeachment, thinking that Wu Xin was just trying to gain fame.

It's just that the two of them don't know what Emperor Xuande means, the so-called heavenly power is unpredictable, even Li Yuntian doesn't know Emperor Xuande's true thoughts now, after all, Emperor Xuande's current psychology has undergone unpredictable changes due to the aggravation of his condition.

In other words, the current Emperor Xuande is very suspicious, has lost his usual reason, and will become extreme and stubborn, and will make more than rational choices once stimulated by the outside world.

"Sister, do you think our Zhenguo Mansion can survive this hurdle?" On the way home, there was silence in the carriage, Zhou Yuting and Zhu Yuxin sat side by side thinking about their thoughts, and after a long time, Zhu Yuxin asked faintly.

As a descendant of the royal family, Zhu Yuxin has seen the open and secret battles and deceit in the capital since she was a child, coupled with her cleverness, she naturally knows that the court is sinister, and she knows better that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger.

In Zhu Yuxin's impression, the two strictest cases that occurred in the imperial court after the founding of the Ming Dynasty were Hu Weiyong's rebellion and Lan Yu's rebellion.

If Emperor Xuande is healthy, then being with Li Yuntian can be said to complement each other, Emperor Xuande used Li Yuntian to charge into battle, and Li Yuntian took Emperor Xuande as a strong backing, and then defended the territory and expanded the territory, helping the world and the people.

But the foundation that the two of them could trust gradually collapsed with Emperor Xuande's illness, otherwise Li Yuntian would not have become worried, walking on thin ice, you must know that Emperor Xuande can achieve Li Yuntian's career and fame, and he can also ruin this qiē.

"It must be possible, and the husband will be able to turn the danger into a disaster if he is far-sighted." Zhou Yuting smiled slightly, reached out and pressed the back of Zhu Yuxin's hand, "Sister, at this time, you have to calm down and believe in Xianggong." ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Yuxin nodded solemnly when she heard this, to be honest, if it wasn't for Zhou Yuting looking for her to enter the palace to see Empress Dowager Zhang today, she wouldn't know that Li Yuntian would be forced into danger by Wu Xin, and then she thought of something, and asked tentatively, "Otherwise, I'll go home and find my grandfather to find a way." ”

"No, the prime minister said that it is necessary to brake quietly, and now the other party is eager for the minister to find the important ministers in the court, so it gives him a handle." Zhou Yuting hurriedly shook her head when she heard this, and comforted Zhu Yuxin with a smile, "Xianggong has never been a person who is willing to suffer, and now that he has been calculated by the other party, he will definitely fight back, and he will not fall into the trap of the other party again." ”

The look on Zhu Yuxin's face eased a little when she heard this, but her mood was extremely complicated, who would have thought that Li Yuntian, the most prominent person in the capital, would end up in a dangerous situation overnight, which is really embarrassing, and it is enough to show the sinister situation above the court.
