Chapter 103 The servant of the emperor was beaten to death!
Even though he was very displeased with Li Huan and even thought of adding insult to injury, it did not involve him. Now that he realized that the actions of the officials had threatened his own safety, Liu Jin naturally couldn't sit still.
Watching Liu Jin rush towards the palace, Zhang Cai sighed softly: "I just hope that Your Majesty will not disappoint us this time. Otherwise, once Xie Qian and others succeed, after removing Li Huan, the next one will inevitably be
Mr. Liu and I are waiting."
Jiao Fang stroked her beard and sneered: "It is useless to deceive the emperor like this."
In the palace, there was still the same young eunuch who was Tong Bing from before. The young eunuch's mind was filled with the scene of hundreds of officials kneeling in front of the palace gate.
Zhu Houzhao told the emperor tremblingly. Zhu Houzhao was really stunned for a moment when he heard it, but his face soon became extremely gloomy. In the end, he couldn't help but slapped his hand on the table and said angrily: "Forcing the palace,
Are they forcing the palace? Do they still have me as the emperor in their eyes?"
Li Huan's expression was calm and indifferent. At this moment, he comforted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not worth it to hurt your body because you are angry for a group of people who have no king or father."
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao calmed down, but he still said angrily to the little eunuch: "Tell them, Li Qing is the emperor's personal soldier, I have my own decision on how to deal with it, and it is not their turn to comment.
"
Zhu Houzhao then said: "Let Li Dongyang persuade the ministers to disperse for me. If they want to kneel, let them keep kneeling. I will not see them."
The young eunuch hurried away, and Ma Yongcheng said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Xie Qian and the others won't listen to his advice so easily. If I want them to disperse, I'm afraid..."
Zhu Houzhao looked towards the palace gate and said, "I want to see how far they can make trouble."
When the young eunuch appeared in front of the palace gate with Zhu Houzhao's oral instructions and announced the emperor's oral instructions in public, all the officials couldn't help but be stunned, with disappointment, resentment and other emotions on their faces.
There was silence in front of the palace gate, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely depressing.
Suddenly an official pointed at the little eunuch and shouted: "You eunuch, you are so brave, you dare to falsely preach the Holy Order. Everyone, follow me and kill this false preacher, trying to prevent me from seeing His Majesty."
The eunuch!"
Recently, Liu Jin's power in the court has become increasingly powerful and arrogant, which has aroused the resentment of many officials. If Li Huan hadn't suddenly appeared and caused such a big drama, it would have been impossible for him to be in this palace in a few days.
What was going on in front of the door was the big drama of hundreds of officials jointly impeaching Liu Jin.
For the officials, Liu Jin and Li Huan can be regarded as old and new grudges.
Therefore, after the official shouted loudly, the shock, disappointment, resentment, grievance and other emotions that arose in his heart because he was refused the summons by the emperor immediately found an outlet.
They saw more than a dozen officials swarming up and surrounding the little eunuch before he could react. As the officials punched and kicked him, the little eunuch who at first tried to cry and beg loudly gradually lowered his voice and finally disappeared.
.
Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and several others on the side couldn't help being stunned when they saw this scene. They wanted to step forward to stop them, but it was too late.
Li Dongyang's face was full of shock and anger, and he sighed repeatedly: "It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous, why don't you stop with me!"
It's a pity that Li Dongyang's dissuasion had no effect at all. These officials completely regarded the young eunuch as an object to vent their dissatisfaction with the emperor and their hatred for Li Huan and Liu Jin. At this time, many officials, not to mention Li Dongyang, were already on board.
The chief minister of the cabinet has stopped shouting. I am afraid that even if the emperor comes, it will be difficult for them to stop.
Xie Qian, who was on the side, was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the closed palace door. A stern look flashed in his eyes and he said to Li Dongyang: "Brother Bin, the mood is fierce, let them vent."
Hearing this, Li Dongyang couldn't help but angrily said to Xie Qian: "Yu Jie, they are confused, are you also confused? That is the emperor's chamberlain. How can hundreds of officials surround the chamberlain and beat him up? If your majesty really wants to pursue it, it will be a big deal."
What a crime of disrespect!"
Xie Qian looked at the palace gate in the distance and shivered with fear. The few guarding eunuchs huddled in the corner couldn't help showing a bit of disdain and said: "Aren't they just a little eunuch? Even if they are beaten to death, so what?
When word spread, all the officials became so angry that they killed an eunuch by mistake, and it was also a good story that became famous all over the world."
Li Dongyang suddenly shook his sleeves and said: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. It's Liu Jin who brought trouble to the court. What does Li Huan have to do with these innocent servants?"
Xie Qian said matter-of-factly: "There was Wang Zhen in the past, Wang Zhi in the back, and now there are Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and the other eight tigers who have brought trouble to the world. It can be seen that the eunuchs in the world are as black as the eunuchs. How can we still unjustly accuse them?"
!”
At this time, the officials who were beating up the little eunuch finally had enough to vent their anger. In addition, the little eunuch made no move, so everyone gradually stopped.
Looking at the bright red and dazzling blood on the bluestone paved ground in front of the palace gate, the little eunuch in the uniform of a chamberlain was now a bloody mess, with broken bones and tendons, which showed how cruel he endured before his death.
blow.
An official who was a little awake looked at the bloody scene on the ground, with a look of horror on his face, and subconsciously exclaimed: "Dead...dead!"
The other officials also had a normal reaction at this moment and subconsciously took several steps back.
Many officials were panicked. This was in front of the palace gate. A few steps ahead was the palace, and they beat to death the royal servant here. This was not a servant in their family. They beat him to death if they wanted.
Those who are dead now are the royal servants. If the emperor really wants to punish them, it would be treason.
Suddenly, an official looked at the elders and said in a trembling voice: "Elder Ge, what should I do? What should I do?"
Xie Qian glanced at the officials, coughed lightly and said loudly: "Why are you panicking? It's just a small eunuch. Besides, the law does not punish everyone. Even if His Majesty wants to blame, the big guys will shoulder it together."
Xie Qian said with a serious face: "Besides, there is me. It's okay if Your Majesty doesn't pursue this matter. If he does, I will share the responsibility with you."
Hearing what Xie Qian said, all the officials who were still worried at first seemed to have a backbone. They all thanked Xie Qian and said, "I'd like to thank Mr. Ge very much. Mr. Ge is very righteous."
Li Dongyang on the side saw this and couldn't help sighing, looking towards the direction of Miyagi City.
Liu Jin came in a hurry, and all the officials had just been calmed down by Xie Qian. Now they were all shocked to see Liu Jin.
A bloody smell hit his face, and a young eunuch died in front of the palace gate. The blood on the ground was so dazzling under the sunlight. Liu Jin was not blind, so how could he not see it.
When she saw the barely human-shaped body of the little eunuch lying on the ground, even Liu Jin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Looking at the body of the little eunuch, Liu Jin was stunned and subconsciously turned his attention to the officials around him. These officials who participated in the beating of the little eunuch were all standing there at the moment. Compared with the other officials kneeling in front of the palace gate, Liu Jin looked more...
Very eye-catching.
These officials had just beaten the young eunuch to death. Even if they were comforted by Xie Qian, they were now feeling guilty.
They are not afraid of killing people. The key point is that the identity of the person who died now is different. She is not a servant in their house. It would be strange if she didn't feel guilty. When Liu Jin saw this, everyone suddenly became more and more guilty.
One person dared to look Liu Jin in the eye.
Liu Jinhe, a man of spirit, saw the guilty reactions of these officials. Even though he couldn't believe it in his heart, he still saw that the little eunuch on the ground was really beaten to death by these officials.
"These people are so crazy that they dare to kill the royal servant in front of Miyagi City..."
Liu Jin felt unbelievable in her heart, and at the same time, she felt a little panicked for no reason. If these people dared to kill the royal chamberlain, would they dare to kill Liu Jin at any time?
When he thought of this, Liu Jin looked at the officials with an extremely unkind look, especially when he thought of the reminders from Jiao Fang, Zhang Cai, and Liu Yu just now. Knowing that these officials had killed Li Huan, he should take action against him.
.
Anger filled Liu Jin's heart, and he swung his sleeves and said sharply: "Okay, okay, you guys actually dared to kill even the royal servants in front of the palace gate. Our family is really eye-opening today. You are so brave...
…”
Liu Jin scolded angrily. Immediately, the timid official's body softened and fell to the ground with a thud. Even those who were not frightened now had a look of panic on their faces.
At this time, Xie Qian stood up and said to Liu Jin: "Liu Jin, you are so majestic. This little eunuch was beaten to death by everyone. He was falsely passing on the imperial edict. There is a right way to die. What's wrong with everyone?"
"
Seeing Xie Qian jump out, Liu Jin looked at Xie Qian, then at the officials who regarded Xie Qian as a savior, and said with a sinister smile: "Okay, since Mr. Xie Ge said so, then our family will enter
I'm going to see His Majesty, I hope His Majesty will believe your lies."
Xie Qian looked upright and said to Liu Jin without fear: "It is not a pity to die for a mere eunuch. Even after meeting His Majesty, I said the same thing!"
Liu Jin suddenly laughed angrily and said, "Old man, just wait!"
After speaking, Liu Jin walked to the palace gate and shouted to the young eunuchs guarding the palace gate: "Open the door, I will go see your majesty."
As the general manager of the palace, Liu Jin had the authority to enter and exit the palace freely. When the few eunuchs saw Liu Jin, they quickly opened the palace door as if they were seeing the backbone of the palace.
After taking a look at the young eunuchs, Liu Jin looked back and sneered: "Secure the door. Anyone who enters the palace without His Majesty's permission will be punished for assassinating Your Majesty, plotting evil, and treason!"
Several young eunuchs quickly closed the palace door, and Xie Qian looked at Liu Jin's disappearing figure, suddenly flicked his sleeves and said: "Sooner or later, you will die without a burial place, the eunuch who has brought disaster to the country and the people!"
In the palace, Liu Jin hurriedly walked all the way. When he saw Zhu Houzhao, Li Huan, Ma Yongcheng and others from a distance, he couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something bad has happened, people are dead, people are dead..."
Liu Jin showed no intention of restraining his voice, and immediately shocked Zhu Houzhao and others.
It is not a trivial matter when it comes to life and death, especially coming from the mouth of Liu Jin, the chief internal officer. It is conceivable that the identity of this dead person is not simple.
With his heart tightening, Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin who was approaching and said: "My mate, tell me quickly, what happened, where are the people dead?"
Liu Jin knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao with a bang, bursting into tears, and said as if he had been greatly wronged: "Your Majesty, I almost lost my sight of Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me."
Liu Jin's reaction confused everyone. Ma Yongcheng, Zhang Yong and others looked at Liu Jin in astonishment. Ordinarily, it would be Li Huan who cried and begged the emperor to make the decision.
The officials were outside the palace gate, forcing the emperor to hand over Li Huan. Li Huan hadn't cried yet, so why did Liu Jin come here and start crying?
Not to mention, when Liu Jin cried, even Li Huan looked at Liu Jin in surprise.
Supporting Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin's miserable expression and frowned, "What's going on?"
Liu Jin naturally knew that enough was enough and stopped crying immediately. However, he did not wipe the tears on his face. Instead, he said with a frightened look: "Your Majesty, do you know that the little eunuch who was previously ordered by you to deliver orders to Xie Qian and others?"
He was beaten by them and beaten to death in front of the palace gate."
As he spoke, Liu Jin secretly glanced at Zhu Houzhao's astonished face, and said with added jealousy: "They even threatened that sooner or later they would beat the old slave to death like they killed the little chamberlain. Oh, oh, oh, your majesty, you have to do it for me."
The slave is in charge..."
"ah!"
Ma Yongcheng, Zhang Yong and others all had expressions of horror on their faces. Even Liu Jin who had the courage would not dare to talk about such a shocking event.
In other words, those officials outside the palace gate really beat to death the emperor's attendants who represented the royal family in front of the bright and bright palace gate of the Forbidden City under the blue sky and white sun.
Li Huan also had a weird look on his face at this moment. What kind of trick was this for the officials? Shouldn't they be staring at him and attacking wildly? How could he think of killing an emperor's servant in a place like in front of the palace gate?
Is there something wrong with your brain, or are you demonstrating to the emperor?
However, whoever can become an official is not a quick-witted person. He is really not smart. I am afraid that it is impossible to gain a firm foothold in this court. In other words, a group of officials beat the emperor's servants to death, which is clearly the case.
A means of expressing dissatisfaction to the emperor.
Good guy, really a good guy. Thinking of this, Li Huan had an inexplicable urge to praise the officials.
If it weren't for the little eunuch who died innocently and tragically, Li Huan couldn't help but clap his hands and applaud. After Baiguan's wave of tricks, he was completely stable.
You can tell this just by looking at Zhu Houzhao's livid face. He severely beat the emperor's servant to death. This was clearly a challenge to the emperor's authority. It can be said that it has touched the emperor's bottom line. This is worse than the nature of forcing the emperor to go to the palace.
How serious is it?
Zhu Houzhao could accept the impeachment of Li Huan by hundreds of officials and even forced him, the emperor, to regress, but this does not mean that Zhu Houzhao had no bottom line.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly when he saw Liu Jin's tearful look: "Don't worry, I'm here. I want to see if they are going to rebel."
?”
Zhu Houzhao said, "What are those people doing now?"
Liu Jin thought for a while and said: "Those people shouted that they wanted to beat the old slave to death, but the old slave did not dare to stay and fled into the palace to see His Majesty. I guess those people are still outside the palace gate at this time."
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and said: "In that case, I will do as they wish. I want to ask them if they want to kill me too!"
Plop, plop
Ma Yongcheng, Zhang Yong, Liu Jin and others all knelt on the ground, and even hugged Zhu Houzhao's legs and said, "Your Majesty, you can't do that!"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said angrily: "Why, are you still afraid that they will rebel?"
With a slight cough, Li Huan now turned to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, a rich man cannot sit down in court. It would be fine if the officials outside the palace remain rational. If..."
Ma Yongcheng nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, what Li Huan said makes sense. From the old slave's point of view, those people are really crazy. Who knows what horrific things they can do."
In fact, whether it was Ma Yongcheng, Zhang Yong, Liu Jin, or Li Huan, they did not believe that those people had the courage to do harm to Zhu Houzhao.
But at this time, with such a good opportunity to discredit the civil service group, there was no need to remind him. Ma Yongcheng and Liu Jin spared no effort to guide Zhu Houzhao to think in that direction.
Zhu Houzhao didn't need to believe it. As long as Zhu Houzhao had a little doubt, their goal would be achieved.
Even Li Huan was unceremonious in fanning the flames and causing trouble for the civil service group. He would create opportunities even if there was no chance. What's more, now that the civil service group itself has handed over all the clues, if they don't try their best to use eye drops, even if
He deserves to be killed by the civil service clique in the future.
Zhu Houzhao had a young mind. The more people tried to stop him, the more he insisted. Finally, Ma Yongcheng said to Zhu Houzhao: "If your majesty has to go, it is not impossible, but you must let Li Huan lead the royal guards to protect him. At the same time, he sent the order to the valley."
General manager, let him take charge of the Tengxiang Fourth Guards, just in case."
Li Huan also advised: "Your Majesty, Brother Ma's words are mature and prudent. Please think twice before acting."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan, then at Ma Yongcheng, Liu Jin, and Zhang Yong who were holding his thighs. He was moved and said in his heart: "The only ones I can trust now are you."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao nodded towards Li Huan and said, "Li Qing, in your opinion, what should I do?"
Li Huan took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "This is so presumptuous!"
Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "Just say it bluntly."
Everyone around, even Liu Jin on the side, couldn't help but cast envious glances at Li Huan.
No one can tell from Zhu Houzhao's attitude, how much he valued and trusted Li Huan, and actually let Li Huan arrange such a big event.
