After returning to the compound in the evening, Li Yuntian carried some vegetables in his hand, washed, chopped and fried vegetables in an orderly manner, and made dinner like other residents in the courtyard. It is recommended to read novels and read books quickly

Lei Ting has been pampered since she was a child, her ten fingers do not touch the spring water, where can she cook, she looked at Li Yuntian with a curious look at Li Yuntian busy working there, and was surprised that Li Yuntian was a big man who could cook.

Seeing this, the women in the courtyard praised Lei Ting for finding a good man who knew how to love his wife, which made Lei Ting feel quite embarrassed.

Li Yuntian smiled, he also wanted to eat ready-made dinner, but it seemed impractical to ask the eldest lady of the Cao Gang to cook.

"I didn't think your craft was so good?" Li Yuntian made a few home-cooked dishes from ordinary people, which looked good, Lei Ting took a chopstick and tasted the green vegetables, and couldn't help but praise it, the green vegetables were fried just right, crisp and refreshing, and very delicious.

"The children of the poor are in charge of the house early!" Li Yuntian smiled, as a successful businessman, he used to be quite good at food, so he naturally had good cooking skills.

Maybe it was because she was hungry, or maybe it was the first time she usually went to Li Yuntian's unique cooking skills, Lei Ting feasted on dinner and even burped loudly, and then covered her mouth with a flushed face, looking very embarrassed.

At the same time, the Weiguo Mansion.

In the spacious living room, a group of richly dressed men gathered around the wine table and chatted and laughed.

The first person to sit was a young man in his twenties, wearing a rolling dragon robe, burly, dignified, with several similarities with Emperor Yongle between his eyebrows, and his speech and demeanor revealed a domineering arrogance.

"His Royal Highness, I'm afraid this is the last time this duke calls His Royal Highness the Prince like this, and when the prince ascends the throne, His Royal Highness the Prince will become the crown prince." On the right side of the young man was a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, with dark skin, who said to the young man with a smile.

"Wei Guogong's words are suspected of trespassing, and now that the will has not arrived, it is not yet known who will inherit the unification." The young man laughed when he heard this, he was the second son of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Zhanqi, the son of Han.

The middle-aged man with the national character face is naturally Lu Zhongqian, the Duke of Weiguo, and the Zuo Governor of the Later Military Governor's Mansion.

"It must be the prince, the prince made great contributions when he was in trouble, and this world should be the prince's." At this time, the middle-aged man with a slender face sitting on the left side of Zhu Zhanqi said loudly, "Except for the prince, Benhou is not convinced!" ”

This person is Wu Ning Hou Feng Chang'an, the governor of the left army and the governor of the right.

Among the five military governors' mansions, the left army governor's mansion and the rear army governor's mansion have the strongest combat effectiveness, and the capital guards in the capital are also the most, so Lu Zhongqian and Feng Changan naturally have to sit on Zhu Zhanqi's left and right.

"Yes, except for the prince, who is worthy of being in charge of the Ming Dynasty!" When everyone present heard this, they echoed Feng Changan loudly.

"If my father ascends the throne, everyone here will be a hero of the dragon, and my father will definitely not forget everyone." The corners of Zhu Zhanqi's mouth showed a smug look, raised the wine glass in his hand, and threw out a huge bait.

"I am willing to serve the prince!" Everyone in the audience raised their glasses and shouted in unison.

"Wei Guogong, I heard that the son-in-law of the Marquis of Zhongyong disappeared from the army of the Northern Expedition and his whereabouts are unknown, is there any news of him now?" After drinking the wine in the cup, Zhu Zhanqi remembered something, and couldn't help but ask Lu Zhongqian, now is an extraordinary time, and there can be no mistakes.

"Rest assured, my father has set up many checkpoints on the way back to Beijing, and not a single mosquito can fly over." Lu Zhongqian bowed and replied, "In addition, Dog Tianxing has already arranged manpower in the capital, as long as he appears in the capital, he will report immediately." ”

"It is said that this person was deeply valued by the imperial grandfather during the northern expedition, and often recruited the imperial chariot to accompany the chariot to record the daily affairs of the imperial grandfather, and now he suddenly lost his trace, which is really disturbing." Zhu Zhanqi put down the wine glass in his hand, frowned and sighed, "If the Marquis of Zhongyong can recognize the form, then the overall situation of the capital has been decided at this time!" ”

"Shizi, it's just a small imperial history, what big waves can it stir up?" Feng Changan snorted coldly disdainfully, he had always been at odds with Zhou Zheng, and said with a big grin, "As long as the edict arrives, then the world will be the prince's." ”

"Wu Shilang, Qin Shilang, and Fan Yushi, there will be three people in the court at that time." Zhu Zhanqi also felt that he was a little too sensitive, and looked at the three Wenchen-looking people sitting opposite him with a smile.

"The prince is serious, these are the duties of the lower officials." A stout middle-aged man sitting in the middle arched his hand to Zhu Zhanqi and replied with a smile.

He is the right attendant of the military department, Wu Tong, the left attendant of the criminal department, Qin Yongxiang, the left attendant of the criminal department, and the left deputy of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court on the right, Fan Bin, the three out-and-out officials of the military department, the criminal department and the metropolitan procuratorate.

Now is the critical moment of the Ming Dynasty change, the officials of the major ministries in the capital will naturally not be monolithic, some people will naturally think about their future in the future, they will naturally play their own small abacus in their hearts, and it is reasonable to take refuge in the Han King who has the advantage of strength.

When the Han King was overpowering, Wu Tong, Qin Yongxiang and Fan Bin waved their flags and shouted for them in the court, which not only greatly damaged the morale of the ministers, but also increased the legitimacy of the Han King's accession to the throne.

Zhu Zhanqi was very satisfied with Wutong's answer, and his face showed a smug look, now not only most of the nobles in the capital support King Han, but also many people among the ministers secretly surrendered and wanted to find a good background.

At that time, as long as Zhu Gaoxu enters the Forbidden City with his will in hand, he will inherit the unification, and he will be the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the future prince.

It is worth mentioning that among the people present, there are a total of six governors of the five armies who are like Lu Zhongqian and Feng Changan, who have heavy troops, and there are only ten of them in total.

Among them, in addition to Lu Zhongqian, the governor of the Houjun Governor's Office, and Gong Kui, the governor of the right capital, An Wuhou, is also there.

If these six governors are combined, there are as many as 33 Jingwei in their hands, accounting for 66% of Jingwei, which is Zhu Zhanqi's confidence.

Among the remaining seventeen Beijing guards, the loyal and brave Marquis Zhou Zheng held ten in his hands, and not only that, but he also commanded three thousand battalions of the three major battalions of the Ming Jing Division.

The three battalions were formed by Emperor Yongle, and were the general name of the Beijing guards stationed in the capital, and there were Shenji battalions, three thousand battalions and five military camps in the subdivision, which were under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

The Shenji Battalion is a unit in charge of firearms, equipped with artillery and firearms, with a total strength of more than 5,000 people.

The 3,000 battalion is a cavalry army with the Mongolian cavalry as the backbone, only 3,000 people at the beginning of the construction, and then after continuous expansion, it has been as high as 5,000 people in the later period of Yongle, which is the most powerful cavalry force under the Yongle Emperor, and plays the role of assault in the battle.

The five military battalions are those Beijing guards stationed in the capital, a total of fifty, and they are the main force of the Gongwei Beijing Division.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Zhanqi sighed that if Zhou Zheng also defected to the King of Han, then the overall situation of the capital has been decided, and with the twenty-two guards guarding the imperial city, they are not the opponents of Jingwei at all.

There is a party in the Weiguo Mansion, and there is also a wine bureau in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, which is different from the Weiguo Mansion in that there are three people sitting around the wine table.

In addition to Zhou Zheng, the other two are the Left Governor of the Right Military Governor's Mansion and Zhang Hao, the Duke of Yiguo, and the other is the Right Governor of the Former Military Governor's Mansion and Anping Hou Niu Shihao.

Zhou Zheng, Zhang Hao, and Niu Shihao were brothers who shared life and death at the time of Jingjing, and were loyal to Emperor Yongle, although the King of Han tried his best to win them over, but he is still loyal to Emperor Yongle, that is, loyal to the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why the prince was able to compete with the king of Han in the capital was that Zhou Zheng, Zhang Hao, and Niu Shihao, the three commanders, obeyed his orders, otherwise the prince would be trapped in the imperial city.

The three of them already knew that Yang Rong and Haishou, who had rushed to the capital to pass on the edict, were only more than 100 miles away from the capital under the "protection" of the five guards of the Hebei Dusi, and had already entered the range of the Gyeonggi region, and they should be able to arrive at noon the day after tomorrow.

Obviously, Yang Rong and Haishou are already in the control of the Han King, if the Han King is overbearing, then they have no choice but to follow the edict, because they can't prove that the edict is fake, and if they resist the edict, it will undoubtedly be a rebellion.

However, if they knew that King Han was overbearing and were indifferent, the hearts of the three of them were also very uncomfortable, and they felt that they would face Emperor Yongle under Jiuquan in the future, so their feelings were very complicated and contradictory now.

According to the military law of the Ming Dynasty, without the transfer documents of the Ministry of War, the army of the Hebei Metropolitan Division could not enter the Gyeonggi area.

But now the situation is special, and the deterrence of Emperor Yongle has been lost, and those civil servants in the military department have no way to take the noble generals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Not only did the army of the Hebei Metropolitan Division enter the Gyeonggi region, but the army of the Shanxi Metropolitan Division has been stationed at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei, the army of the Shandong Metropolitan Division is also stationed at the junction of Shandong and Hebei, and the army of the Henan Metropolitan Division is stationed at the junction of Henan and Hebei.

Since the Jingjing, the Ming royal family has once again reached the point of meeting each other because of the battle for the throne, and the consequences are unpredictable.

"Yuting has seen two uncles." Just when Zhou Zheng was discussing things with Zhang Hao and Niu Shihao, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhou Yuting, supported by Xue'er, walked in with her stomach up, and bowed slightly to Zhang Hao and Niu Shihao.

"Why are you here, you are all pregnant, don't rest at home!" Seeing this, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but complain, and asked his subordinates to bring a chair for Zhou Yuting to sit down.

Li Yuntian didn't know at this time that the night he left home was not in vain, and finally hit the bull's-eye, making Zhou Yuting pregnant.

"Dad, why did my daughter hear that Yuntian's whereabouts are unknown and she is not in the Northern Expedition Army?" After sitting down, Zhou Yuting bit her lip and asked pretending to be calm.

Although Zhou Zheng knew about this matter, he would never tell Zhou Yuting, who was pregnant with Liujia, so as not to worry Zhou Yuting, after all, what happened to Li Yuntian No one in the capital knew about it, and now he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Because of his careful actions, the people in the Northern Expedition army did not know when Li Yuntian left the team, and there was not the slightest news about him along the way, as if suddenly he disappeared out of thin air.

If it weren't for the fact that a noble lady came to Li's house this afternoon and inquired about Li Yuntian's whereabouts in the name of visiting Zhou Yuting, then Zhou Yuting would have been kept in the dark and didn't know about Li Yuntian's disappearance at all.

Therefore, Zhou Yuting, who was nervous and frightened, came to the Hou Mansion to find Zhou Zheng to inquire about the news, wanting to know what happened to Li Yuntian, and how a good person said that he disappeared. One
