Zhu Houzhao glanced at Ma Yongcheng and said: "Of course I know what you said, Daban. I just lamented why the officials would rather rely on the cabinet, but often go against me and refuse to listen to my orders."
Ma Yongcheng and Zhang Yong looked at each other and neither dared to speak.
Zhu Houzhao didn't expect Ma Yongcheng and the others to say anything. He calmed down his mood and said to Ma Yongcheng: "Dad companion, you send someone to declare Li Huanqing's family into the palace. I want to see him."
Ma Yongcheng responded and stepped back.
Li Huan had just finished his meal and was about to go to the Jinyiwei Yamen when he saw a carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. Ma Yongcheng jumped out of the carriage. Looking at Li Huan who was about to go out, he couldn't help but said with a smile: "Li
Brother Huan, follow me into the palace quickly, Your Majesty will summon you."
Li Huan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at Ma Yongcheng and said, "Brother Ma, please wait for a moment. I will go into the palace with you after I pick up something."
Soon Li Huan took out the case report about Luo Wenxiang and others that Ma Ming had sent not long ago, got on the carriage with Ma Yongcheng, and then headed straight for the Forbidden City.
The sky was getting brighter, and this was a day of rest in Japan. Except for the officials who stayed behind in the yamen of the various ministries of the DPRK, the other officials did not need to go to the yamen.
However, at this moment, there are hundreds of officials gathered in various government offices. After a night of fermentation, it can be said that what happened yesterday has completely aroused the indignation of all the officials.
In addition, Xie Qian and Liu Jian ordered people to secretly add fuel to the flames, and even some neutral officials changed their stance.
Under the guidance of thoughtful people, intentionally or unintentionally, a group of officials prepared to gather in front of the palace gate, kowtow to the emperor, and implore the emperor to punish Li Huan severely and give an explanation to all officials and all the people in the world.
Officials in twos and threes began to gather in front of the palace gate, and many people on the long street looked in surprise at the carriages or sedan chairs that passed by from time to time.
"Today seems to be a day of rest. Why do these officials seem to be running towards the imperial city one by one?"
Someone heard this and laughed and said: "What else can I do? I must have gone to see the emperor. It was not as lively as yesterday. Do you think these officials want to tear Li Huan alive..."
"Ah, if so many people go to complain to the emperor, then Li Huan will be dead!"
Among these carriages, an inconspicuous one drove past the long street, and sitting in it were Li Huan and Ma Yongcheng.
They happened to be passing by and heard the people talking outside.
Ma Yongcheng looked at Li Huan with a strange expression, as if he was looking at some strange existence. However, Li Huan was not affected by Ma Yongcheng at all and sat steadily in the carriage.
Ma Yongcheng sighed softly and said: "It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Our family was eager to chop up that gentle scum Luo Wenxiang, but our family did not dare to do it. I never thought that little brother, you would have become a blockbuster if you didn't scream.
, you have really done a big thing!"
Li Huan smiled and said: "Brother Ma, it's wrong. As a royal guard, Li has the power and responsibility to supervise the officials of the world. Luo Wenxiang and others, as officials of the imperial court, actually hang out in the dazzling place of a brothel. Taizu strictly prohibits it."
The official was sleeping with a prostitute, so his subordinates came to report it. Li did his duty faithfully, and there was nothing wrong with leading someone to arrest him."
Hearing what Li Huan said, Ma Yongcheng couldn't help but blink his eyes and looked at the serious Li Huan. He felt that what Li Huan said made sense, but he was speechless.
With a puff, Ma Yongcheng couldn't help laughing. While giggling, he pointed at Li Huan and said: "You are right. When I see His Majesty later, if I say this, His Majesty will definitely believe you..."
Li Huan couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this. All fools knew that Luo Wenxiang was impeaching him, and he was arresting him. It was clearly a retaliation. It would be strange if Zhu Houzhao could believe his words.
The carriage stopped outside the palace gate. At this moment, many officials had gathered outside the palace gate. These officials gathered in groups.
At a glance, there are always one or two people in each group of people who are impassioned and shouting something with righteous indignation, while the rest of the people are obviously affected by them and have indignant looks on their faces.
At this moment, a carriage stopped, which immediately attracted the attention of many officials.
After all, their sedans and carriages were parked far away, and not everyone was qualified to park their carriages in front of the palace gate.
Just when all the officials were wondering who was in the carriage, Li Huan and Ma Yongcheng were sitting in the carriage and clearly heard the discussions of the officials outside.
Ma Yongcheng looked at Li Huan with a smile and said: "Brother Li, did you hear that? These people look like they want to skin you and cut you to pieces."
Li Huan said calmly with disdain on his face: "If they are honest officials and are upright and not afraid of the shadow, why are they so afraid of me that they even want to crush me to ashes?"
As he spoke, Li Huan patted the dossier about Luo Wenxiang and others and said mockingly: "Brother Ma, you might as well take a look. The more those people who want me dead, the less able they are to withstand the investigation. I'm afraid it may not be possible if they really want to be investigated."
It’s much cleaner than Luo Wenxiang and others.”
As he spoke, Li Huan showed no fear. He opened the curtain of the carriage first and strode out of the carriage under the gazes of many eyes.
To be honest, Ma Yongcheng didn't expect that Li Huan would get off the carriage first. After he realized what he was doing, he quickly followed.
At this moment, a group of officials in front of the palace gate were curious about who was in the carriage, but they never dreamed that the person stepping out of the carriage would actually be the target of their crusade, Li Huan.
The moment Li Huan stepped out of the carriage, all officials who recognized Li Huan couldn't help but open their eyes wide with a look of astonishment on their faces.
Since yesterday, Li Huan's name has resounded throughout the capital. There are almost no officials who have not heard of his name, but this does not mean that all officials know him.
As a Jinyiwei official, not many people knew him. It is conceivable that not many of the officials present had actually met Li Huan.
An official noticed that his colleague looked at Li Huan with a strange look and couldn't help but wonder: "Who is this? He cannot be a member of a noble family. He looks really young."
Li Huan was dressed in a flying fish suit given by the emperor. Thanks to the blessing of Emperor Hongzhi, many children of civil and military officials were rewarded with flying fish suits. So when he saw Li Huan, his first reaction was which family of powerful children Li Huan should be.
.
However, the official who recognized Li Huan gritted his teeth and said: "He is Li Huan. He was the one who took Luo Wenxiang and others out of the brothel and took off their clothes and paraded them through the streets..."
The other officials couldn't help being shocked when they heard this, and looked at the young and excessive Li Huan in astonishment.
Suddenly, an official couldn't help but roared at Li Huan: "You thief Li Huan, you are a traitor who deceives the emperor and brings harm to the country and the people. Luo Yushi just impeached you, but you avenged private revenge and ruined Luo Yushi's reputation. You are really
So vicious..."
Although he was being pointed at and yelled at, Li Huan's expression remained unchanged, and he was calm and frightening. He just glanced at the man lightly and said, "I don't know what you call your Excellency, who your name is, and where you serve..."
The man said subconsciously: "I am responsible for..."
A colleague on the side suddenly pulled the official and reminded him: "Brother Ren, this Li Huan is the most vindictive. He claims that revenge does not last overnight. He deliberately defrauded your name. Don't you be afraid that he will turn around and bring someone to kill you?"
Caught?"
When the official named Ren heard this, his expression changed drastically. He subconsciously took two steps back and looked at Li Huan in horror. The excitement he felt when he knew Li Huan's identity suddenly disappeared. At this moment, he saw Li Huan staring at him with an expressionless face.
Endless regret arose in people's hearts.
He even wanted to give himself a slap in the face. So many people didn't speak up. How could he be so mean-mouthed? He knew clearly that Li Huan was narrow-minded and like the eye of a needle, and he was determined to take revenge without leaving the night. Why provoke the other party for nothing? What if...
…
When he thought that Li Huan would most likely arrest him and manipulate Luo Wenxiang and others, the official named Ren swayed. If his colleagues had not supported him, he would have been so frightened that he fell to the ground.
Already.
Li Huan saw the official's reaction from beginning to end, and couldn't help showing a bit of disdain in his eyes. He sneered and said: "I thought your Excellency was such a loyal and brave person, but I never imagined that you could be so cowardly as a mouse.
"
The man was ridiculed by Li Huan and felt aggrieved. His face turned red, but under Li Huan's cold eyes, he didn't even have the courage to refute.
Among the officials nearby, there was one like the official named Ren. He wanted to jump out and scold Li Huan, but the official named Ren beat him to it.
At first, they were still secretly envious of the official surnamed Ren for being able to show off in front of his colleagues, but then Li Huan's death gaze and the official surnamed Ren's reaction made them calm down and secretly rejoiced that they did not jump out, otherwise it would be really terrible.
If Li Huan is concerned about him, wouldn't it be a life and death dilemma?
When Li Huan's eyes turned away from the official named Ren and scanned the surrounding officials one by one, no one dared to meet Li Huan's eyes.
Think about it, people who are truly upright and selfless in their hearts will probably not come here to join in the fun. Just like what Li Huan said before, those who gather here are probably people with evil intentions and dirty butts.
Officials like this would be so afraid of Li Huan and would not dare to look at Li Huan if they had something evil in their hearts.
Now he got off the carriage, and Ma Yongcheng, who was watching this scene from the side, glanced at the officials. Seeing Li Huan suppressing the whole crowd by himself, he couldn't help but feel a bit like a man.
However, Ma Yongcheng also knew how difficult Baiguan was, that is, Li Huan suppressed these people for a while, but when Baiguan reacted, it was not so easy to deal with them.
With a slight cough, Ma Yongcheng turned to Li Huan and said, "Li Huan, don't keep your majesty waiting. Please follow me into the palace!"
Li Huan's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the officials around him and sneered with disdain: "A bunch of cowardly people, you just want to cause trouble for Li?"
After saying that, regardless of how these officials reacted to his words, they strode straight after Ma Yongcheng, walked through the palace gate and entered the palace. Behind him, there was the sound of the palace door closing gradually, and a group of officials reacted and yelled.
The child has grown bigger.
Ma Yongcheng and Li Huan naturally heard the fierce shouting and cursing of a group of officials, but now that the palace door was closed, no matter how much the officials yelled and scolded, they could not stop Li Huan.
Ma Yongcheng looked at Li Huan, his eyes full of admiration and said: "Brother Li Huan, I'm convinced, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to suppress those officials? If you can't suppress them, you'll be killed by all the people."
Officials surrounded us."
Li Huan couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said: "Brother Ma, do you think those cowardly people have the courage?"
Ma Yongcheng is in charge of Dongchang, so he naturally knows better than anyone else the private conduct of those officials. They are unjust for profit, greedy for life and afraid of death, and dressed like beasts. These words are definitely not an exaggeration at all when used on these officials.
Hearing this, Ma Yongcheng sighed softly and looked at Li Huan and said: "Even so, you don't have to go to death to offend these people. After all, these people are more likely to fail than succeed. There is no hope of them accomplishing anything, but they are really beaten by them."
They don’t hold grudges, but doing bad things to you is their specialty.”
Li Huan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother Ma doesn't think that I, a Jin Yiwei, need to be friends with them. Besides, they have even labeled me as a rebel, so do I need to save any face for them?"
Ma Yongcheng was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and couldn't help but laugh. He had misunderstood and subconsciously forgot that Li Huan's identity was that of the emperor's own army. The most taboo thing was to be friends with hundreds of officials.
Smiling and shaking his head, Ma Yongcheng looked at Li Huan and sighed: "I don't know how you know this at such a young age."
Li Huan smiled.
In the imperial garden, Zhu Houzhao was dressed in fine clothes, holding a bow in his hand, and an arrow stuck on the target in the distance.
When Li Huan and Ma Yongcheng came over, Zhu Houzhao shot an arrow and hit the target.
Li Huan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is an excellent shot!"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he turned around and saw Li Huan stepping forward to salute him. He smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to support him and said, "You and I, my king and my ministers, don't have to be polite!"
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao threw the bow and arrow in his hand to Li Huan and said: "Come, if I remember correctly, you are from a military family, and you are also an official of hundreds of households in the guard. How about I take a look at Aiqing's bow and horse!"
There are really not many emperors who like martial arts as much as Zhu Houzhao, especially his father, Emperor Xiaozong, who valued civil affairs the most, but it is strange that he raised an emperor like Zhu Houzhao who liked martial arts!
Reaching out to take the bow and arrow thrown by Zhu Houzhao, Li Huan subconsciously pulled it, only to hear a crash, and the entire bow was suddenly broken by Li Huan.
"Forehead!"
Li Huan didn't expect that with a casual pull, he would break the bow and arrow thrown by the emperor. He looked at the emperor with a bit of embarrassment on his face.
Zhu Houzhao didn't expect such an experience. Looking at the broken bow and arrow in Li Huan's hand, and then seeing Li Huan looking at him awkwardly, Zhu Houzhao felt that this scene was quite funny and couldn't help laughing loudly.
Ma Yongcheng, Zhang Yong and others who were originally serving on the side saw Li Huan break the emperor's bow and arrow, and felt a cold sweat in their hearts for Li Huan. Now they saw Zhu Houzhao laughing loudly, and they were secretly relieved.
tone.
"Your Majesty, I was reckless and accidentally broke your Majesty's bow and arrow. Please forgive me!"
Zhu Houzhao waved his hands and laughed and said: "The Qing family is not to blame for this matter. If it were not the case, I would not have known that the Qing family had such magical power."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao said to Zhang Yong who was serving behind him: "My dear friend, go get some divine bows from the inner treasury and give them to the Li Qing family to choose from."
Zhang Yong responded when he heard the words and quickly went to the royal inner treasury to select the bows and arrows collected by the royal family.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan with curiosity and said, "How strong is the Qing family's arm? How many stone bows can they fire?"
As he spoke, Zhu Hou looked at the bow and arrow in Li Huan's hand and said, "This bow and arrow was made by a master craftsman. It requires the force of one stone to open this bow. I have practiced bow and horse volley shooting since I was a child, but now I can only open this bow."
Li Huan praised: "Your Majesty is indeed a dragon son of the Tian family. His arm strength is amazing. Even the famous generals in ancient times can only shoot a stone bow!"
Hearing Li Huan's praise, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile on his face, but he did not forget the question he just asked. He stared at Li Huan with a smile and said: "My strength is far inferior to that of the Qing family. Quickly
Tell me, how strong is the Qing family's arm?"
Li Huan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If it's not that I don't want to tell your majesty, it's because I don't know what my arm strength is!"
"ah!"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face. He obviously didn't expect that Li Huan didn't even know how strong his arm strength was.
As for whether Li Huan was lying to him, Zhu Houzhao never thought about it. After all, judging from Li Huan's reaction, it was obvious that Li Huan really didn't know.
Thinking of how Li Huan easily broke his hard bow, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but asked with expectation: "Is it true that the Qing family has a huge strength?"
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao said with a hint of envy and yearning in his eyes: "I once read in the Book of Liang that Yang Kan's arm strength was astonishing. He could shoot a bow of twelve stones, and he could shoot a bow of six stones immediately."
Looking at Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "I wonder how the Qing family compares!"
At this moment, Ma Yongcheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is simple, you just need to let Li Huan test his arm strength, don't you know?"
Zhu Houzhao immediately looked at Li Huan with some expectation. Seeing this, Li Huan couldn't help but cup his hands and said: "If your Majesty has an order, I will test it."
Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "Come, come, follow me to the martial arts hall."
The martial arts hall itself is a place for the princes in the palace to practice martial arts and keep fit. It is always equipped with stone locks, wooden dummies and other objects.
Entering the spacious martial arts hall, Li Huan strode towards the stone locks on the side under the gaze of Zhu Houzhao. The stone locks were arranged in rows of different sizes. The small ones weighed about ten kilograms, and the large ones seemed to weigh hundreds of kilograms.
Li Huan stepped forward and grabbed the largest stone lock. Looking at the inscription on it, he found that the stone lock weighed five hundred kilograms.
To be honest, Li Huan has always only known that he is very powerful, especially after traveling through time and space, his body has undergone changes, and his strength has become stronger day by day. In addition, he has practiced the "Thirteen Taibao Heng Lian Sheng Gong" and his strength has become even stronger.
It's an astonishing growth.
So even Li Huan was quite curious about his own strength.
Grabbing the 500-jin stone lock with his big hand, Li Huan suddenly exerted force. The next moment, the 500-jin stone lock was lifted lightly by him. Li Huan even almost threw the stone lock away because of the excessive force.
