Running all the way, first by land from Jiangxi to Hangzhou, and then by water through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the north.

It took more than half a month for Li Banghua to arrive in Beijing.

Although it was very hard, fortunately, there was no problem, and Liu Qiao, who was in charge of the escort, was also secretly relieved, he was afraid that Wei Zhongxian's old dog would do something.

When the time comes, he will not be able to keep his official position, and it is likely that he will be implicated in other ways.

As soon as he settled in the post house, Li Banghua tidied up his appearance, and then he couldn't wait to enter the palace to face the saint.

Apocalypse received him warmly.

After Li Banghua saw the salute, Tianqi hurriedly stepped forward to help the veteran of the Three Dynasties up, and then said directly: "Li Qing, you must already know the intention of calling you back to Beijing." ”

Li Banghua hurriedly replied: "Long live is to ask Weichen to rectify the Beijing camp, and Weichen will live up to the trust of Long Live and never give up." ”

Tianqi was very satisfied with the old minister's fierce loyalty, and added: "Outside the huge pass, except for a few important cities, they have all fallen into the hands of the enemy. ”

"However, the defense line of Guanningjin is strong, and the construction is not good at attacking the city, so it is difficult to break through in a short time."

"And with the output of Liaodong, I am afraid that I will not be able to support so many prisoners, and if Jianyu wants to break the situation, he will definitely choose the opportunity to detour to Mongolia and enter the army."

"This time will not be too long, as short as a year and a half, and as long as I am afraid less than two years. Li Qing's training of the army must be based on this, otherwise, I will be in the Ming Dynasty and will be ruined. ”

Hearing this, Li Banghua was shocked, when did Long Live have such a high view? Which master was you instructed by?

This master is incredible, not only has a vicious eye, but also makes Banzai believe that this is not alarmist, but really believes that Jianyu will make a detour to the Mongol invasion in less than two years, or even less.

Moreover, Banzai was also aware of the erosion of the army in the Kannai, so he thought of rectifying and training the Beijing camp.

However, this is not a simple errand, there are too many problems in Jingying, and it can be said that it is difficult to practice in such a short period of time and be able to fight with Jianyu.

This is a thankless errand, and if Jianyu really joins the prison at that time, once the Beijing camp does not make meritorious contributions, it will inevitably be attacked countless times, ranging from the reduction of officials and expulsion, and the loss of life.

However, Li Banghua is not afraid of this, as long as he feels that something is meaningful, he is willing to do it, even if he is worried about his life, he will not retreat.

Nowadays, the erosion of Jingying is no longer a matter of one or two days or a year or two years, and it has reached the point where it has to be rectified.

If the Beijing camp can't stop the first time, then it will stop it for the second time, and if it can't stop the second time, then it will stop the third time, but the premise is that the Beijing camp has been effectively rectified and carefully drilled.

"Wechen will go all out." Li Banghua responded without hesitation.

But then, he added: "Long live, if the Jianyu invades around Mongolia, it will inevitably be powerful, and if the foreign army is contained, it will be able to do half the work." ”

"Lord Shufu Sun and Master Yuan are good at Liaodong, and with them, Jianyu must be jealous."

"Even if Jianyu will make a detour to Mongolia to attack, it will delay the preparation of the day and leave more soldiers to stay in Liaodong."

Tianqi didn't expect that Li Banghua's first meeting after arriving in Beijing would persuade him to re-employ Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, he also knew that Li Banghua was very reasonable, and he also knew that these two people were very talented.

However, it was not the right time for me to use you Li Banghua, and then quickly use Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, two people who were extremely unpopular with Wei Zhongxian, didn't this keep giving the eunuch an eye medicine?

If you take too fast a step, it is risky.

Moreover, for Yuan Chonghuan, Tianqi has always been a little frightened, not only cherishing his talent, but also fearing his self-righteousness.

This knife can hurt the enemy, but it can also injure itself, even deeper.

In the Battle of Ningjin a few months ago, the Ming army led by Yuan Chonghuan won the victory, but the eunuchs did not like him for a long time, so they cut off most of the rewards on the grounds that he did not rescue Jinzhou, and the generals under his command Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao and others were richly rewarded.

Yuan Chonghuan was very dissatisfied with the eunuch's retaliation, and took the initiative to resign in a fit of anger.

Of course, this incident has nothing to do with the current apocalypse, which happened a month before he crossed over.

However, if the current Apocalypse wants to enable him, it is very simple, after all, Yuan Chonghuan has not made any big mistakes, and he is indeed talented, plus a sentence is the person designated by Taizu, Wei Zhongxian has not much reason to obstruct it.

But Apocalypse thought about it and forgot it.

This knife, until the last resort, try not to use it, it can't hurt.

So, Tianqi waved his hand and said: "The matter of Liaodong is extremely complicated, so this matter will not be discussed for the time being. ”

Li Banghua still didn't give up, and said eagerly: "Long live, since Jianyu will be in the prison in a year and a half, this matter is imminent, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"Li Qing's meaning, I understand, don't mention this matter again, Li Qing can just put his mind on rectifying the Beijing camp, and I will naturally consider other things."

Li Banghua knew that the apocalypse had made up his mind, and although he was helpless, he could only accept it.

If Li Banghua came out of the palace half an hour later, the doubts in his heart not only did not disappear, but became heavier and heavier.

The eunuchs were not liquidated, but they lost Jinyiwei and Jingying successively, and it only happened in less than three months.

To be exact, it started after the Long Live Dragon's body improved.

What led Banzai to take power from the eunuchs? And how could the eunuchs so obediently hand over the important power in their hands?

Could it be that Banzai realized that the eunuchs had too much power, so they wanted to use the art of balance to check and balance?

But up to now, the Donglin Party members who have been used are the only ones themselves, and even knowing that Jianyu is about to enter the Kou, they are not willing to use the emperor Sun Chengzong and Yuan Inspector, who has a lot of military strategy.

If there is really a check and balance on the eunuchs, what could be more appropriate than to enable these two?

I don't understand, Li Banghua can't figure it out.

And he felt that the Banzai he saw today seemed to be different from the Banzai he knew before.

Today's Banzai is more willing to talk about national affairs, and is also very concerned about national affairs, and even has his own unique opinions.

……

Qingqingfang, Ten Princes' Mansions, these are the ten palaces built here during the Chengzu period, as a temporary residence for the minor prince in Beijing, because the prince will go to the fief to become a feudal lord when he becomes an adult.

The Ten Princes' Mansion was originally the collective residence of the underage prince, of course, there are exceptions, such as the current Xinwang Zhu Youzhen, because of the special care of the imperial brother Zhu Youxiao, so he has his own Xinwang Mansion alone.

Because it was a temporary residence, the Ten Princes' Mansion was relatively simple to build, far less magnificent than the royal palaces in the domain.

A carriage stopped at the gate of King Xin's mansion, and after a young eunuch got out of the car, he hurried to the gate, and the guards at the door not only did not stop him in the slightest, but also had to respectfully call him "Wang Gonggong", because this person was King Xin's personal eunuch: Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen met Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, who was practicing calligraphy in the study.

Seeing Wang Chengen come in, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly put down the pen in his hand and couldn't wait to ask: "Wang Banban, how is the news?" ”

Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly replied: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Li has officially taken over the Beijing camp, and the eunuchs have not interfered. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly said: "Prepare to drive, this king and princess are going to enter the palace." ”
