In the evening, the Maharaja's Mansion of Shouyang.

Li Jue paced back and forth in the room restlessly with his hands behind his back, fidgeting since he knew that Li Jue had gone to the parliamentary government, waiting for the exact news from the parliamentary government.

If Li Jue really takes over part of the power of the parliamentary government this time, it means that he loses in the battle for the throne with Li Jue, which is an unacceptable result for him, and all his previous efforts will be in vain.

"Big ...... Maharaja, this is a letter from the left minister to the maharaja. While Li Yao was anxiously waiting for news, a subordinate hurriedly walked in and handed him a letter.

Li Yao knew that Huang Xi had sent him the latest news in the government, so he hurriedly opened the envelope and looked at the letter inside, and the whole person was gradually stunned.

"The prince is the mastermind behind the assassination?" After a long time, Li Yao came back to his senses, and couldn't help muttering to himself, for a while he felt that the clouds and mountains were covered with fog, and he never imagined that such a bizarre thing would happen anyway, could it be that the assassination last time was really just Li Jue's bitter trick to win the hearts of the people?

After the incident, Li Yao found a fire candle and burned the letter in his hand, and Huang Xi had committed a big taboo by passing the news to him privately, so he naturally wanted to destroy this evidence.

"Go, get some food and drinks." After getting the news from Huang Xi, Li Jin's hanging heart finally let go, and then he felt that he was hungry and had not eaten a drop of water for a day, so he asked the kitchen staff to make him a supper, and he wanted to drink a few glasses to celebrate.

Li Jue believes that Li Jue will be in a catastrophe this time, otherwise Li Yuntian would not have handed over the case to Liu Shangmin for trial, and it is obvious that Li Yuntian did this to convince Li Jue, and also made the civil and military officials of the DPRK have nothing to say.

At the same time, the Shobudo Seoul Office is in an elegant courtyard.

Li Yuntian strolled leisurely in the courtyard under the twinkling stars, he knew that there must be many people in Seoul who would lose sleep tonight because of Li Jue's affairs, this was exactly what he wanted to see, and the muddy waters of Seoul officialdom were the more muddy they were, the more favorable it was for him to act.

Originally, Li Yuntian was still thinking about how to deal with Li Jue, but now their brothers made such a big internal fight, which also saved him a lot of trouble.

The only people who are qualified to become the king of Joseon in terms of strength and intelligence are the two brothers Li Jue and Li Yao, in fact, the two have become the king of Joseon in history.

Like Emperor Yongle, Li Yao took away the throne of his own nephew Duanzong of Joseon after Li Jue's death, and became the king of Joseon in the history of Joseon.

Therefore, in Li Yuntian's opinion, as long as Li Jin and Li Jue are dealt with, then the rest of the things will be easy to do, and this assassination incident will involve Li Ying again, which is equivalent to the fall of the third heir to the throne of Joseon.

After bringing Li Jue down, Li Yuntian will only have to deal with Li Jue alone, so things will be much easier, Li Jue has already fallen into the trap he set, and then he will wait to obediently force him to comply.

"Xianggong, it's late at night, go back and rest." Hongluan walked out of the house and said to Li Yuntian with a smile.

"Luan'er, do you remember when we first met?" Li Yuntian stretched out his hand, grabbed Hongluan's slender waist, and asked with a smile.

"Of course I remember, how can the concubine forget!"

Hongluan suddenly smiled when she heard this, and a trace of shyness appeared on her cheeks, "When the concubine's family fled from the war, she was blocked by the local soldiers in the mansion, and the concubine snatched the cake on the wine table of the local soldiers in order to get a bite to eat for the family, and was lifted up and fell to the ground, if it wasn't for the concubine to catch the concubine, the concubine would probably die." ”

At that time, Li Yuntian rushed to Jiaozhi, and met the people who fled from Jiaozhi who were obstructed by the local Tusi soldiers on the border into Jiaozhi, and saved Hongluan's life.

"Time flies, the white horse flies, when the prime minister went to Jiaozhi, he was still a hairy boy with strong blood, and now in a blink of an eye, he is almost at the age of confusion, and he is old!"

Li Yuntian recalled the hardships of quelling the Jiaozhi rebellion back then, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, no one in the court believed that he was able to turn the tide and exterminate the rebels in Jiaozhi, and it was by virtue of Jiaozhi's military exploits that he gained a firm foothold among the Ming Dynasty.

"Xianggong is not old at all, it is us who are old, and we are all about to become old women." Hongluan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, Li Yuntian's appearance didn't seem to have changed much over the years, although he was close to the age of not confused, but it looked like he was just a year old, if anyone walking on the road would realize that he was the famous loyal king of the Ming Dynasty.

"Xianggong, are you worried about the capital?" Then, Hongluan Yufeng turned around, and looked at Li Yuntian with a pair of big watery eyes.

Hongluan knew very well that the affairs of Seoul were completely under Li Yuntian's control, so Li Yuntian was not worried about the change in the situation at all, so what could make Li Yuntian worry was of course the affairs in the capital.

Since Li Yuntian left the capital, the inner court and the civil official group have rekindled the flames of war, the two sides in order to compete for the right to speak in the court and the interests of the open and secret fighting, friction and conflict have become more and more intense, many of the civil official group have been refuted by the celebrant supervisor, so angry that many civil officials jumped straight to their feet but were helpless, after all, the power of the red affairs celebrant supervisor.

In fact, when Li Yuntian left the capital, he could think that because of the irreconcilable contradictions between the inner court and the civil official group, a big incident would definitely break out between the two sides.

To be precise, the inner court wants to seize more power from the civil official group through a major case, in order to be able to compete with the civil official group, and now the civil official group still has an absolute advantage in the face of the inner court, which is not what the big eunuchs in the inner court want to see, they need more power to check and balance the civil official group, only in this way will the orthodox emperor not be bothered by those civil officials.

"Xiang Gong is worried that something big will happen in the capital, Wang Zhen is ambitious and wants to make the celebrant rise, and the civil officials don't want to be subject to those eunuchs, and the dispute between the two sides cannot be resolved, and it will only stop when the power between the two sides reaches a balance."

Hongluan guessed Li Yuntian's thoughts, Li Yuntian was distressed because of the affairs in the capital, and said helplessly after smiling bitterly.

Although he was in Korea, the movements of the capital were transmitted to him through the intelligence network of the Shomudo, so that he could learn about what was happening in the capital, and the recent feud between the inner court and the civilian clique made him very worried, and there was a possibility of a large-scale dispute.

Regarding the struggle between the inner court and the civil official group, the reason why Li Yuntian adopted the strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight was not that he was afraid of things, but that the struggle between the two sides was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

On the surface, it seems that the eunuchs of the inner court challenged the civil official group in order to seize power, but in fact, if you go deeper, you will find that the inner court actually represents the interests of the emperor, so the struggle between the inner court and the civil official group is a game between the monarchy and the ministers.

Li Yuntian, as one of the nine civil officials and the teacher of the orthodox emperor, should stay away from this fight, because it is not appropriate for him to support either side.

"Xianggong, as the saying goes, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridgehead, and the affairs of the capital will be worried about by those adults in the capital, and Xianggong will still recuperate and handle the affairs of the Korean country well."

Hongluan knew that Li Yuntian was worried about the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and the struggle between the inner court and the civil official group would inevitably affect the operation of the Ming Dynasty's government affairs, so he comforted softly, it was a big deal that the orthodox emperor issued an edict to recall Li Yuntian to the capital to clean up the mess.

"Okay, let's go rest." Li Yuntian couldn't help laughing when he heard this, hugged Hongluan up, and strode towards the bedroom, anyway, the sky fell from a master to support, and he didn't have to worry about the sky in North Korea, which was thousands of miles away.

Hongluan's face became red after brushing it, and she pressed her cheeks tightly against Li Yuntian's solid chest, with the shy look of a little daughter, although the two were already old husbands and wives, Li Yuntian hugged her in front of the surrounding guards and maids, which still made her feel extremely shy.

The next morning, Hongluan waited for Li Yuntian to freshen up, and since he came to North Korea, Li Yuntian's food, clothing and daily life have been handed over to her and Liu Zhen to be in charge.

"Lord Wang, there is an urgent matter from the capital!" Just as the two of them were talking and laughing there, Yun Na walked in quickly, bowed down and handed a letter with a fire paint seal to Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian's brows furrowed, and then he opened the envelope and took out the letter inside and looked at it, this letter was passed from the martial arts hall, it seems that something big happened in the capital.

"I'm really afraid of something!" After reading the contents of the letter, Li Yuntian couldn't help but smile bitterly and put the letter in his hand on the dresser in front of him.

"Xianggong, what happened?" Seeing this, Hongluan couldn't help but ask curiously, could it be that a big conflict broke out between the inner court and the civilian clique.

"Li Qingzheng, the priest of the capital country, was arrested and put in the edict of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town." Li Yuntian shook his head, and said to Hongluan with some tears and laughter, "The crime they planted for Li Qingzheng was to cut down the ancient trees of Yilun Hall for private use at home, and committed the crime of cutting down official trees privately. ”

"Chopping official wood?" Hearing this, Hongluan couldn't help but be stunned, this crime is strange enough, Li Qingzheng is the head of the Ming Dynasty, the leader of the famous scholars, and he would be imprisoned for cutting down a few trees, which is simply unbelievable and unheard of.

Yilun Hall, formerly known as Chongwen Pavilion, was built in the Yuan Dynasty and was the place where Guozijian collected books.

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Chongwen Pavilion was renamed "Yilun Hall" after rebuilding, its architectural form is a single eaves hanging on the top of the mountain, seven rooms are wide, and three rooms are hugged after the building, with a total area of more than 600 square meters, it is the largest hall-style building in the Guozijian.

In front of Yilun Hall, the wide platform, called Lingtai, also called the terrace, is the place where Guozijian summons the prisoners to take a roll call, assemble and give a big class.

It is worth mentioning that there is a stone carved sundial on the southeast corner of the platform, which is an instrument for measuring time during the day.

"Xianggong, Master Li will be fine, right?" Then, Hongluan came back to his senses and couldn't help asking.

Although Li Qingzheng's current official position is not high, it is just the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian, but he is a veteran of the Six Dynasties who came from the Hongwu Dynasty, and once served as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and his reputation in the court is extremely high.

Therefore, once the inner court wants to move Li Qingzheng, it will undoubtedly stab the hornet's nest of the civilian clique, and it will inevitably attract a fierce counterattack from the civilian clique, and the entire Beijing officialdom will inevitably be in chaos.

"Wait and see what it will do, I hope Wang Zhen is not confused and will not take the life of Lord Li."

Li Yuntian shook his head, he didn't know whether Li Qingzheng would be able to survive the catastrophe in front of him safely, you must know that he was different from Liu Qiu and Xue Xuan, and the civil official group would keep him no matter what, otherwise how could he save face?

"Xianggong, did you say that the emperor would recall you back to deal with the aftermath?" Hongluan didn't expect last night's joke to become a reality today, and after hesitating for a while, he asked tentatively, once the inner court and the civil official group fight to the death because of Li Qingzheng's matter, then one person is needed to play a round from it, and Li Yuntian is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

"To be honest, Xianggong is not willing to go back to wade into this troubled water, the emperor is the king of a country, and he should face this kind of thing calmly." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly and said.

In the final analysis, the world of the Ming Dynasty is the orthodox emperor, and the emperors should always be the least afraid of the party struggle in the court, only in this way can the courtiers contain each other, in Li Yuntian's view, he can certainly go to the round, but in the final analysis, the orthodox emperor still needs to become strong, know how to control the civil and military officials in the court, only in this way can all the affairs of the Ming Dynasty be regular.

Therefore, in Li Yuntian's view, Li Qingzheng's matter is an excellent tempering for the orthodox emperor, if the orthodox emperor can handle Li Qingzheng's affairs properly, then it will be of great benefit to his future growth, and some challenges are unavoidable for the orthodox emperor.

Hongluan knew what Li Yuntian meant, and nodded thoughtfully, as the teacher of the orthodox emperor, Li Yuntian hoped that the orthodox emperor could grow up as soon as possible, only in this way could the orthodox emperor get rid of his dependence on the inner court, otherwise there would be no peace in the Ming Dynasty.

"Lord Wang, I just received news from the six towns in the northeast that Jin Zongrui is about to leave for Seoul!" At this time, Yun Na bowed slightly and told Li Yuntian another thing.

"It seems that Jin Zongrui can't hold on." Li Yuntian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, he had already guessed this result, but Jin Zongrui came to Seoul earlier than he expected, and it seemed that he was indeed under huge food pressure.

With the arrival of the military rations aided by the Ming Dynasty in the four counties in the northwest, the situation of the Korean soldiers in the six towns in the northeast became precarious, and once the food was cut off, the consequences were unimaginable, which forced Jin Zongrui to come to Seoul to see Li Yuntian in exchange for the grain of the Ming Dynasty.
