These days, Fang Liang can be described as proud, not only Li Yuntian is dead, but King Yue has also returned to the capital, he can't help but feel a little fluttering, and begins to fantasize about his future life as a high-ranking official and dignitary.

In Fang Liang's opinion, Li Yuntian was the only person in the court who was more powerful than him, and now Li Yuntian had been buried in the fire of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, so that no one in the court was his opponent.

To be honest, Fang Liang was taken aback when he learned that there was a fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, although he didn't know how the fire happened, but it was certain that Ah Qiu must have done it, and Ah Qiu's energy was beyond his imagination, and he actually planted people in the inner court.

Fang Liang was very glad that Ah Qiu was his friend rather than an enemy, and with Ah Qiu's help, he would be like a fish in water in the court in the future.

At the beginning, Fang Liang was still worried that Empress Dowager Zhang would drive King Yue out of the capital, but as a result, he let go of a hanging heart, and after Empress Dowager Zhang came forward to exonerate King Yue, King Yue could stay in the capital openly.

The return of King Yue to Beijing was like a pebble falling on the surface of a lake that was not alarmed, causing the calm lake to ripple round and round, and all the forces in the capital were stirred, and then fell into these ripples.

However, the attention of the people in the capital was attracted by what happened in the Zhenguo Mansion, and on the second day after Zhao Xinyue and Hongluan were accepted by Zhou Yuting as Li Yuntian's concubines, on the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, another young woman wearing filial piety clothes appeared at the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion.

Different from Daming's filial piety clothes, this young woman's filial piety dress looks a little weird, belonging to a fluffy white filial piety skirt.

Because the Zhenguo Gong Ding at the gate of the courtyard didn't know the young woman, she was blocked out of the door, which immediately attracted the attention of those who came to mourn Li Yuntian.

The young woman was not annoyed by this, but with a sad expression, she asked the housekeepers at the door to go and invite Lei Ting, and told them that her name was "Yoo Jin" and that she was from the Kingdom of Korea.

Lei Ting was both surprised and felt reasonable about Liu Zhen's appearance, when she was in Seoul, she found that Liu Zhen had been convinced by Li Yuntian, and Li Yuntian's protection of Liu Zhen also made those powerful people in Korea regard them as Li Yuntian's women.

Since Liu Zhen came to Daming with the Korean delegation, Lei Ting knew that Liu Zhen had real feelings for Li Yuntian, and now that Liu Zhen came to mourn Li Yuntian, she naturally would not refuse, and went out to lead him in.

Liu Zhen's intention, like Zhao Xinyue and Hongluan, is to be able to accompany Li Yuntian after death, which means that she can only become Li Yuntian's concubine, which makes many people in the capital feel embarrassed.

After all, everyone has a love for beauty, and seeing these flower-like young women want to keep festivals for the dead Li Yuntian one after another, it has to make people feel emotional and incomprehensible.

In fact, Liu Zhen and Hongluan came from Jiangnan together, the two were originally in Jiangnan to learn dance skills, and after learning from the "Ming Xin Pao" that Li Yuntian was involved in the arquebus case of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, they rushed day and night, but they didn't expect to be a step too slow to see Li Yuntian.

For Liu Zhen, Li Yuntian's heart-pounding feeling back then was something that others couldn't do, so she decided to be with Li Yuntian according to her spiritual guidance.

Like Zhao Xinyue and Hongluan, Liu Zhen and the two were issued a decree by Empress Sun and were able to become the three-rank lady of the imperial court.

In addition to the Zhenguo Mansion and Jian Mansion, the most lively thing in the capital is the other courtyard of King Yue in the capital.

According to the Ming Dynasty's custom, the royal family in the capital should live in the imperial city, and the imperial city should be closed at night, but the most prosperous place in the capital is the south of the city, so the king of Yue bought a house in the south of the city as a courtyard to communicate with the magnates in the capital.

Strictly speaking, King Yue's behavior has violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but King Yue is Emperor Xuande's beloved brother, and if Emperor Xuande doesn't say anything, then others have to turn a blind eye to this matter, after all, this is an internal affair of the imperial family, and there is no need to offend King Yue because of this.

King Yue's sudden return to Beijing and Empress Zhang's protection of him made many officials in the capital keenly aware of the pivotal position of King Yue in the future court, so they went to visit King Yue's other courtyards.

Of course, the officials who could enter the Yue Wang's Courtyard were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the imperial court, and a minor official of Fang Liang's level was not qualified at all.

However, Fang Liang had his own way, and because Ah Qiu was threading the needle from it, he was proud to enter through the back door of the Yue Wang's courtyard in the middle of the night.

Fang Liang's mood was a little excited now, according to Ah Qiu's statement, King Yue didn't know who arranged the person to rob him from Jinyiwei, and Fang Liang was the one who arranged that operation, King Yue would definitely reuse him.

"Under the official good, Xuande is an ugly science jinshi in the eighth year, and I will meet the prince." In the study in the backyard, Fang Liang saw King Yue sitting behind a desk reading a book, and bowed down.

"Fang Jinshi doesn't need to be polite." King Yue put down the book in his hand with a smile, stretched out his hand to signal Fang Liang to sit down, and then said with a smile, "Fang Jinshi, you have made great contributions to this king's ability to return to the capital this time." ”

"The prince is serious, the lower officials are just conforming to current affairs, when the emperor was seriously ill and the prince was young, in the eyes of the lower officials, only the prince can be in charge of the Ming Dynasty." Fang Liang leaned sideways and bowed to compliment King Yue.

"Fang Jinshi, your merits will not be forgotten by this king, if this king can take charge of the court one day, then he will definitely reuse Fang Jinshi." A smile appeared on the corner of King Yue's mouth, and he said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for the cultivation of the prince, and the lower officials will definitely serve the prince wholeheartedly." Fang Liang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty to King Yue.

"Fang Jinshi, this king heard that Yiguo Gong has returned to Beijing, and the power of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion is in the hands of Yi Guogong, and he seems to be closer to the crown prince."

King Yue smiled, he was already used to being flattered, and then his words turned around and said meaningfully, "This makes this king a little worried, people like them are the most pedantic and stubborn. ”

"What does the prince mean that he doesn't want to see the righteous prince?" Fang Liang was stunned for a moment, his eyes revealing a look of surprise.

"After the Gyeonggi Governor's Office's case, Inguk Gong and Sung Yong-hou are in a very delicate situation, and if there is any accident for Yi Guogong, the two will take over the military power of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office." King Yue did not answer Fang Liang directly, but talked about Chen Tai and Hu Dahai in an orderly manner.

Since Li Yuntian died in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion fire, Chen Tai and Hu Dahai's life has become very sad, although the two were ordered to handle the Bafang Warehouse arquebus case, but some things that happened in the handling of the case made the outside world very dissatisfied, not to mention that Li Yuntian also died in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, which made the two of them squeezed out and isolated by the Xungui group, and there were rumors in private that Li Yuntian's death was related to the two.

Once the crown prince ascends the throne, then the Xungui group will have to find a way to pull the two from the throne of the left and right deputy governors of the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor's Office, so Chen Tai and Hu Dahai need help from the outside world, and King Yue is obviously the best candidate.

If the two of them defect to King Yue, then even if King Yue cannot ascend the throne, as long as King Yue can serve as regent, it will be enough to provide enough protection for the two.

After listening to King Yue's words, Fang Liang's face showed a look of sudden realization, he understood why King Yue valued Chen Tai and Hu Dahai, this was not because Chen Tai and Hu Dahai were special, but because the two were in charge of half of the Beijing army in the capital, and King Yue needed these troops.

The loyalty of Zhou Zheng, the Duke of Zhongguo, and Zhang Hao, the Duke of Yiguo, to the imperial power is beyond doubt, otherwise the two would have taken refuge in the King of Han back then, and their subordinates controlled the other half of the Beijing army in the capital, standing behind the prince approvingly.

The struggle for the throne of all dynasties and dynasties ultimately relied on military force to complete, so now the king of Yue and the crown prince can master more military power, to be precise, the military power near the capital will overwhelm the other party and win.

Since King Yue couldn't win over Zhou Zheng and Zhang Hao, he could only turn his target to Chen Tai and Hu Dahai, and both sides could be regarded as taking what they needed.

It's just that Fang Liang didn't expect King Yue to kill Zhang Hao, Fang Liang believed that if the conditions permitted, King Yue would definitely kill Zhou Zheng, obviously he couldn't kill Zhou Zheng and Zhang Hao at the same time, and once one of them was assassinated, the other would definitely be more vigilant.

Although Zhou Zheng had a greater influence among the nobles, Zhang Hao, the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture, played a role better than Zhou Zheng, so Zhang Hao became the prey of King Yue.

But it is not easy to kill Zhang Hao, who is protected by the guards in the capital, King Yue obviously does not have this ability, so he will naturally think of Fang Liang who "rescued" him from the hands of Jinyiwei, since Fang Liang has the strength to kill those Jinyi Guards, then he should also have the strength to kill Zhang Hao.

"Don't worry, the lower officials will do their best." Fang Liang didn't have the ability to kill Zhang Hao, but Ah Qiu had this ability, he knew that Zhang Hao's head was the name of the King of Yue, so he agreed after a deep sigh, after experiencing this, King Yue would definitely regard him as a confidant.

"Then the king will wait for good news." King Yue smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Fang Liang in a deep voice.

"The lower officials will not disappoint the prince." Fang Liang hurriedly got up and solemnly bowed to King Yue.

"As far as this king knows, the Duke of Yiguo will end his duty in the Shouhuang Palace in the morning and return home." King Yue was very satisfied with Fang Liang's reaction, and after a long silence, he told him a piece of news.

"Don't worry, the lower officials know how to do it." Fang Liang knew that King Yue was implying that he was attacking Zhang Hao on his way back to his home, so he replied in a deep voice.

Seeing Fang Liang's submissive appearance, a strange smile flashed at the corner of King Yue's mouth, it was a pity that Fang Liang, who bowed and saluted, didn't see it, otherwise it would definitely make him shudder.
