"What Zhongqing said is exactly what I think in my heart, the town of Guogong works hard for the country and is conscientious, how can I allow others to slander for no reason?" Just when Li Yuntian was standing there a little at a loss, Emperor Xuande's voice rang out, "Destroy this letter, and investigate Wu Yushi with brocade clothes!" ”

Hearing this, Li Yuntian hurriedly turned around and looked, only to see Emperor Xuande hand the envelope in his hand to Jin Ying on the side, and Jin Ying bowed down to accept it.

"Zhenguogong, I will definitely give you justice." Emperor Xuande saw Li Yuntian looking over, a smile appeared on his face, and then he coughed violently and waved his hand at Jin Ying.

"Retreat!" Jin Ying bowed to Emperor Xuande and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Congratulations to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" All the ministers in the hall bowed to Emperor Xuande and shouted in unison.

With the support of the two chamberlains, Emperor Xuande coughed and left the Taihe Hall through the side door, glaring at Li Yuntian coldly as he left.

Since Li Yuntian and the others were all bowing down, no one saw this scene, but Fang Liang, who was following Emperor Xuande, clearly saw Emperor Xuande's move, and walked out of the Taihe Hall with a comfortable expression.

At the same time, several guards in front of the hall set up Wu Xin and left, Wu Xin did not resist and let the guards leave, Li Yuntian secretly turned his head to look, and saw that Wu Xin's expression was calm without the slightest panic, which made his heart sink suddenly.

After Emperor Xuande left, the civil and military ministers of the Taihe Hall stepped forward to appease Li Yuntian, although no one knew what Wu Xin was pumping and suddenly attacked Li Yuntian, but it was obvious that Emperor Xuande trusted Li Yuntian very much, not only let Jin Ying destroy the anonymous report letter, but also sent Wu Xin to the edict of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town.

Li Yuntian smiled and greeted the ministers, although he looked like he was indifferent, but he was secretly anxious in his heart, and he had already keenly smelled the smell of danger.

Qianqing Palace, East Warm Pavilion.

"Go down, all of you." After Emperor Xuande sat down on the warm couch, Jin Ying waved his hand at the palace maids and chamberlains standing in the room, and quietly ordered, "Let Lord Fang come in and wait." ”

"The minister knocks to see the emperor." The palace maids and chamberlains immediately bowed down and retreated, and Lord Fang in Jin Ying's mouth naturally referred to Fang Liang, who quickly rushed over and knelt on the ground to salute Emperor Xuande.

"You also saw the scene at the court meeting today, do you know what to do next?" Emperor Xuande had already stopped coughing at this time, looked at Fang Liang expressionlessly and asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister is ready, but I don't know when to start." Fang Liang raised his head when he heard this, and asked with a stern expression.

"As far as I can, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait long." Emperor Xuande frowned and groaned for a moment, and looked at the handkerchief in his hand with a solemn expression, on which there was a large pool of blood stains that he coughed up, and the color was a little black.

"I understand." Fang Liang's eyes lit up, he bowed slightly to Emperor Xuande, then remembered something, and asked, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo is extremely well-connected in the capital, not only has a strong military force but also has a close relationship with the Beijing army, the emperor must not be guarded against." ”

Hearing the three words "Xiaowu Army", Emperor Xuande's eyes showed a complicated look, the Xiaowu Army is the first elite in the Ming Army, and there are 30,000 Xiaowu troops organized by Li Yuntian stationed in the Xiaowu Army camp outside the city, and 10,000 Mongolian cavalry belonging to the Xiaowu Army are stationed in Changping, north of Beijing.

What particularly made Emperor Xuande feel jealous was that the Xiaowu army had a Franco cannon that could break through the walls and gates of Beijing, so that if the Xiaowu army changed, then the capital would be in danger.

Don't look at the forbidden army and the Beijing army in Beijing City combined, there are more than 100,000, but if it really starts, it is really not the opponent of the 30,000 Xiaowu army, and the 10,000 Mongolian cavalry can rush back from Changping to fight in half a day, which will undoubtedly make the Xiaowu army like a tiger.

Moreover, Emperor Xuande was also worried that the Beijing army stationed in the capital would let the Xiaowu army enter the city, the reason is very simple, after winning the battle with Tatar and Warat, Emperor Xuande asked Li Yuntian to assist in the reorganization of the Beijing army in the capital.

After more than a year of reorganization, the Beijing army has taken on a new look, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and at the same time, it has also made Li Yuntian and the Beijing army have a love of incense, and God knows if there will be any Beijing army that will defect at that time, after all, a considerable part of the Beijing army is Zhou Zheng's subordinates.

Although Zhou Zheng is no longer in charge of the army after entering the military cabinet, his subordinates are still looking forward to it, and Li Yuntian is Zhou Zheng's son-in-law, Zhou Zheng will watch Li Yuntian in prison?

Emperor Xuande now feels a very headache, originally with Li Yuntian and Zhou Zheng in charge, the defense line of the capital is impregnable, but once the two have different hearts, it will bring very big trouble.

"Chuan Wu Pinghou!" However, Emperor Xuande already had a way to deal with it, and after a deep groan, he opened his mouth and instructed Jin Ying with a stern expression.

Liang Shaojie, Marquis of Wuping, was the pawn of Emperor Xuande in the Xiaowu Army, and Liang Shaojie was the guest of honor of the Su Palace, the imperial relative of the Ming Dynasty, so it was best used to balance Li Yuntian.

As early as when Li Yuntian went to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion, Emperor Xuande took precautions to install Liang Shaojie by Li Yuntian's side, and as a result, he was reused by Li Yuntian, and he soared all the way, and now he is the number three person in the Xiaowu Army, and has a lot of influence in the Xiaowu Army, and will become Emperor Xuande's killer weapon to deal with the Xiaowu Army.

"Go down, remember, you must get things done." Subsequently, Emperor Xuande told Fang Liang with an expressionless face that what Fang Liang was doing now was very important, and he needed a reason to take down Li Yuntian from the beginning, so as to clear the obstacles for the seven-year-old prince after he ascended the throne.

In Emperor Xuande's view, Li Yuntian is like Zhuge Liang in Xishu, if he is there, the prince will be in a state of suppression, this is definitely not the situation he wants to see, so he must solve this matter for the prince before leaving this world, otherwise all the factions in the court will gather around Li Yuntian, and the imperial power will be completely hollowed out.

Emperor Xuande's favorite thing is not Li Yuntian's surprising strategy, but Li Yuntian's perfect social means, which enabled him to maintain good relations with various factions in the court.

This happens to be a scene that Emperor Xuande does not want to see, if Li Yuntian is a loyal minister, then he will be able to help the prince control the situation in the court with ease, but in case Li Yuntian is a traitor, then the prince will be played by him.

For the emperors of all dynasties, no one wanted the courtiers to be in harmony, but hoped that several forces would fight against each other, otherwise it would evolve into a monarchy alone against the courtiers.

In this way, unless there are strong emperors like Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle, otherwise the monarchy will be at a disadvantage in the struggle for power with his subjects.

The crown prince was only seven years old, and it was obvious that he had nothing to do with power, which made Emperor Xuande feel extremely worried, and he had to take action to protect the prince for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.

"Obey." Fang Liang kowtowed to Emperor Xuande, got up and left the Dongnuan Pavilion backwards.

Waiting out of the door of the Dongnuan Pavilion, the corners of Fang Liang's mouth showed a hideous smile, and he felt extremely proud in his heart, don't look at Li Yuntian is a dignified Zhenguo Gong, the result is not to be planted in his hands.

In the evening, after dinner, Li Yuntian did not stay in the Jiangwu Hall as usual, but took his four-wheeled carriage back to the Zhenguo Mansion.

Along the way, Li Yuntian was worried and seemed a little uneasy, what happened during the daytime court meeting made him feel a little incomprehensible, and he didn't know why Wu Xin, who was good, wanted to attack him.

Obviously, Li Yuntian would not think that this was an ordinary and simple accident, Wu Xin not only dared to openly impeach himself during the court meeting, but he must have relied on it, otherwise how could he be so relaxed when he was taken away by the palace guards?

With years of experience, Li Yuntian can be sure that Wu Xin's attack was prepared, and there must be an interest group hidden behind the scenes, wanting to take advantage of Emperor Xuande's illness to deal with him.

Li Yuntian knows very well that once people reach the point of death, they will become very sensitive and paranoid, although Wu Xin seems to have failed to impeach him today, but in fact he has successfully achieved his goal, making Emperor Xuande wary of him.

After all, Emperor Xuande is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if Li Yuntian may threaten the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty, then even if he has a good relationship with Li Yuntian, he will definitely get rid of him, so as not to bring trouble to the crown prince after he ascends the throne.

In the case of Emperor Hongwu's Xing Lanyu, in addition to Lanyu's arrogance, he took the opportunity to eradicate the arrogant generals in the court who followed him to fight the world, and cleared the way for the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen to ascend the throne.

As the emperor, Emperor Xuande must plan for the prince's future affairs, and he never wants to see the power of the Ming Dynasty fall into the hands of his courtiers.

Li Yuntian had to admit that Wu Xin chose this time very cleverly, not only caught him off guard, but also successfully provoked the relationship between him and Emperor Xuande.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, since the other party has tried his best to provoke the end of the war, he will definitely not give up halfway, and will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat him in one go.

Therefore, Li Yuntian didn't have the heart to deal with the affairs at hand at all now, he had to calm down and think about the ins and outs of the matter, and start from Wu Xin's body to find clues to find the person hiding behind Wu Xin's background.

It's a pity that if Li Yuntian can interrogate Wu Xin, he will be able to get useful clues from Wu Xin, but Wu Xin is now imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, and no one can enter the Imperial Prison to see Wu Xin unless there is an order from Emperor Xuande.

Moreover, it is not convenient for Li Yuntian to meet Wu Xin now, after all, it was Wu Xin who impeached him in public, and if he went to prison, he would be suspected of demonstrating to Wu Xin, which was not what he wanted to see, so he could only go all out to explore Wu Xin's itinerary and relationship circle.
