In the capital, Crown Prince Xuan Le's desire for power seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. As the candidate for the head coach of Pengcheng Camp was not chosen by Emperor Cheng Wu, Xuan Le also blamed the Ministry of War for this matter.
Even though Prince Jing was not in the capital, the confrontation between the old ministers and the crown prince's palace never stopped for a day. Emperor Chengwu seemed to turn a blind eye to the disputes between the courtiers and his son. He also wanted to take this opportunity to exercise Xuanle's control.
Ability. The century-old foundation of the Dafeng Dynasty, Emperor Chengwu can only pass it on to this son now. While he is now strong and can stabilize the overall situation, Emperor Chengwu feels that it is better to let Xuanle suffer a little more. Otherwise, he really has to
If he makes trouble again on the day when he fails, Emperor Chengwu will really worry that his country will not be protected.
Li Hong, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, has been extremely depressed recently. He has worked hard for the Dafeng Dynasty for most of his life, but when he gets old, he actually gets into trouble with the crown prince. Li Hong even foresees his own tragic end in the future. It would be better if Emperor Chengwu lives in front of him.
Once Emperor Chengwu dies a few years before him, Xuanle will probably not let him go even if he is disarmed and returns to Tiantian.
In order to ensure timely receipt of information from the Ministry of War, Xuan Le personally sent an official from the Crown Prince's Palace to the Ministry of War to supervise the documents of the Ministry of War that came from various places. Seeing that Emperor Chengwu ignored him, Li Hong was so angry that he simply didn't even go to the Yamen. Li Hongxin
He said that without me, the Minister of the Ministry of War, adding the official seal, I wonder who would dare to publish the document privately.
When people are depressed, they often think of those old friends who can still be called confidants. Prince Jing was not in the capital, so Li Hong thought about it and drove to the Guo Mansion. During this period, people seemed to have forgotten the existence of Guo Tianxin, and he was with Guo Tianxin.
Compared with the prosperity of the past, Guo Mansion also appears to be somewhat declining and withered.
Guo Tianxin, who was pruning flowers and plants in the back garden, saw Li Hong coming to visit and put down his tools with a smile.
"Master Li, this is not the place you should be. Be careful of being reported secretly to the crown prince." Guo Tianxin's face was dark red with a casual smile.
Seeing Guo Tianxin's carefree and carefree appearance, Li Hongzhen was a little envious. If the current situation does not change, I'm afraid it will be impossible for him to be so leisurely in the future.
"Lao Guo, stop talking nonsense and quickly find someone to serve food and drinks. I want to drink." Li Hong said depressedly.
Even though Guo Tianxin didn't go out, he knew what was going on outside. He even said that including everything that happened to Zhu Tianjiang in Pengcheng, the man who delivered the food would report to him every day.
"Master Li, now is not the time to drink. What's the matter? The crown prince scolded me again."
Guo Tianxin refused to open any pot. When Li Hong heard this, he stamped his feet angrily.
"I said Lao Guo, in my heart there is only the emperor, not the crown prince. Do you want to drink? If you don't drink, I will leave immediately. From now on, I will never enter this door again." Li Hong said angrily.
When Guo Tianxin saw that Li Hong was really angry, he quickly asked the cook to prepare some food and wine, and the two simply started drinking together in the pavilion in the courtyard.
"Lao Guo, why do you think Xuan Le wants to interfere with our military department~!"
Li Honggang said this, but was stopped by Guo Tianxin, "Don't~ don't talk about the affairs of the court. I am a hermit now. We can talk about romance, but don't talk about the affairs of the court."
"Bah, return the romance? What, you still want to renew your relationship? If you don't let me say it, today I will put fontstyle="float:left;line-height:0;font-size:0;overflow:hidden;width:
20px;"Kanshu.^网(first published'/font) All the flowers and plants in your yard have been pulled out." Li Hong finally found an old friend who he could talk to, and Guo Tianxin couldn't stop him.
When Guo Tianxin saw Li Hong's eyes wide open, he shook his head helplessly. The two brothers chatted while drinking, and after drinking, Li Hong simply started to curse.
Li Hong was already eighty-nine percent drunk. Guo Tianxin was about to send someone to help Li Hong into the room to take a rest, when he saw the housekeeper of the Li family hurriedly walked in. Seeing that his master was so drunk, the housekeeper became anxious.
Rub hands.
"What, is there an emergency at the Ministry of War?" Guo Tianxin asked with a frown.
"General, there is something going on in the house." The housekeeper said eagerly.
When he heard that it was not military affairs, Guo Tianxin's frown relaxed. He knew that as long as there was a military rebellion, Zhu Tianjiang would definitely be involved. Since it was not a matter of the Ministry of War, there should not be any big problem.
"Your elder is drunk. In this case, help him get into the car and go home."
As soon as Guo Tianxin finished speaking, Li Hong sat upright and said, "No, I won't go back home. Lao Guo, let's continue drinking."
When Guo Tianxin saw that he was like this, who was still drinking with him, he waved his hand, meaning that the people in the Li Mansion would help Li Hong away quickly.
As soon as several servants came over, Li Hong slapped the table, and Canglang immediately pulled out his sword, "Get out of here! Get out of here!"
Guo Tianxin looked at it and shook his head with a wry smile. He stepped forward and grabbed Li Hong's hand. He could only take him back to the room to rest for a while until he sobered up. Otherwise, Li Hong would go crazy with alcohol on the way and no one would dare.
Step forward to stop him.
When the housekeeper saw this situation, he had no choice but to leave in a hurry and return home. In less than two sticks of incense, the housekeeper drove directly into the Guo Mansion with a carriage.
Guo Tianxin felt strange that Li Hong's official car was in the courtyard, so why did the housekeeper bring another carriage? Just when Guo Tianxin was confused, a person got out of the car. Guo Tianxin was startled, and immediately realized that there was something mysterious inside, and immediately
Order your own soldiers to close the gate of the house.
Coming out of the car was Liu Dafu, the director of the nursing home of Prince Jing's Mansion. Guo Tianxin knew that he should be with Prince Jing at this time, but he appeared here strangely. Guo Tianxin thought something had changed in Pengcheng.
"I'll see you, General." Liu Dafu said, cupping his fists.
"Liu Dafu, didn't you follow Prince Jing to Pengcheng? Could it be that Prince Jing has returned to Beijing?" Guo Tianxin asked deliberately. If Prince Jing returned to Beijing, there should be a ceremony. Guo Tianxin knew that it could not be so quiet.
Liu Dafu also hesitated again and again before quietly rushing to the General's Mansion. Liu Dafu clasped his fists and said, "Sir General, my prince is still handling official business in Pengcheng. The younger one will return to the capital first."
Guo Tianxin was moved, "What, you have something to do with Mr. Li Hong?" Guo Tianxin asked whether Prince Jing had some secret military affairs.
Liu Dafu looked around, and Guo Tianxin understood. He waved his hand to ask the soldiers to retreat, and closed the door from the outside.
Liu Dafu then took a step forward and whispered, "General, my prince~ secretly met with Lord Zhu." Liu Dafu knew the relationship between Guo Tianxin and Prince Jing, and he was Zhu Tianjiang's father-in-law. Even Prince Jing also
I won't hide it from him.
Guo Tianxin was shocked when he heard that Prince Jing had actually met Tianjiang. If this news got out, it would be terrible.
"Dafu, Prince Jing, he should know the importance, how could he?" Guo Tianxin looked at Liu Dafu in confusion.
"Sir, my prince wants~!" Liu Dafu said, lying in Guo Tianxin's ear and whispering the matter again.
When Guo Tianxin heard this at first, he couldn't help but feel shocked, but at the end, Guo Tianxin nodded silently. It seems that Prince Jing, an old fool, still has a sane side. Putting Xuanzhu in the position will indeed untie all the knots.
The best way.
Liu Dafu simply took out Prince Jing's secret letter and handed it to Guo Tianxin. Guo Tianxin read it carefully and handed it to Liu Dafu again.
"Dafu, this matter is not trivial. Just know it well and don't leave any evidence. Mr. Li is in the inner room. You can go in." Guo Tianxin reminded Liu Dafu that when Li Hong finished reading Prince Jing's letter, he must
Burn.
"Sir, do you think Li Shangshu can do it?"
Liu Dafu didn't say anything out loud, but Guo Tianxin understood what he meant. He was worried that Li Hong might offend King Jing.
"Don't worry, your prince is confused on the surface, but he is very clear in his heart. He asked you to find Li Hong, so just trust Mr. Li." Guo Tianxin gave Liu Dafu a confident look.
Liu Dafu nodded and walked quickly into the inner room. Guo Tianxin was sitting in the outer room sipping tea. After a while, he heard Li Hong burst into laughter in the inner room.
Li Hong walked out with his clothes on. Although his steps were still a little staggering, his eyes looked much clearer.
"Lao Guo~ I had a great time drinking this drink~ I'll drink with you later~ Farewell!" Li Hong said, opened the door and walked out.
The housekeeper of the Li family was still standing in the yard. When he saw his master coming out, he quickly stepped forward to help him. Liu Dafu also said goodbye to Guo Tianxin. Watching everyone leave in a hurry, Guo Tianxin showed a long-lost smile.
"Su Long!" Guo Tianxin shouted to the door.
"My subordinates are here!" Su Long, the captain of the soldiers, walked in quickly.
"That girl from the Hong family, hasn't she been here for several days?" Guo Tianxin asked.
"Go back to General, didn't you come here yesterday?" Su Long looked at Guo Tianxin strangely.
Guo Tianxin was stunned and slapped his forehead, "Look at how stupid I am. Send someone to the Prince's Mansion and say that Yingzi left something behind and I want to give it to the Hong family girl."
Su Long agreed and went to do it quickly. Since Zhu Tianjiang and others left the capital, Hong Xiaoqing often came to the mansion to visit Guo Tianxin. Firstly, Hong Xiaoqing wanted to repay the old lady for taking her in, and secondly, she also took care of Guo Tianxin for her elder brother.
Now that Guo Tianxin knew about the plan of King Jing and Zhu Tianjiang, he felt that something should be done. Guo Tianxin, who was experienced in politics, discovered the key to the problem after a simple consideration. Regardless of whether Xuan Le can be abolished, the most important thing is
The answer still depends on Xuanzhu. If Xuanzhu still has no intention of ascending to the throne, even if Prince Jing and his ministers summon the royal family elders to reopen the temple, Emperor Chengwu will not agree to depose Xuanle.
Therefore, Guo Tianxin wanted to make a fuss from Hong Xiaoqing's side to rekindle her desire for Xuanzhu to seize the throne.
