The official's exclamation shocked many people, and they subconsciously looked towards Li Huan. When they saw a young Jin Yiwei wearing the imperial flying fish uniform, many people thought of Li Huan. According to rumors, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Li Huan's identity was revealed, so he glanced at the official. Nowadays, there are countless people who know him and have heard his name, but not many people who have actually seen his appearance can recognize him.
With a slight smile, Li Huan glanced at the officials and said, "I never thought you all knew about Li."
After reacting, an official couldn't help but pointed at Li Huan and said angrily: "Li Huan, this is the Xie Mansion, what are you doing here!"
Li Huan ignored the man and looked at Xie Qian's eldest son Xie Bang. Xie Bang was also confused at this time. His father went to impeach Li Huan, but looking at the situation, it looked like he was escorted back by Li Huan. , could it be said that the two parties have reconciled?
It shouldn't be. His father's attitude was very clear. He made it clear that he wanted to kill Li Huan. The affairs of Luo Wenxiang, Du Wen, and Han Fuli directly brought disgrace to their civil service group. If Li Huan was not killed, it would serve as a warning. Following their example, wouldn't anyone be able to stroke their tiger's beard?
Taking a deep breath, Xie Bang said to Li Huan calmly: "Your Majesty, you should leave. You are not welcome in my Xie Mansion!"
The chief steward Xie Ming on the side couldn't help but become a little anxious when he saw his eldest son's reaction. He had sent Xie Ping to go to Tong Bing.
But judging from the eldest son's reaction, it seems that he doesn't know that his master has been dismissed from office by the emperor. So what does Xie Ping do for a living? He even forgot such an important thing. He must be punished well later. It's impossible.
It's a pity that the steward Xie Ming didn't know about it at all. He had good intentions when he asked Xie Ping to go to Tong Bing, thinking that Xie Ping could inform the eldest son about Xie Qian's dismissal from office, but he couldn't have imagined it in his wildest dreams, because Xie Ping The embarrassed appearance was disgusted by all the officials, which made Xie Bang furious.
Without even giving Xie Ping a chance to speak, he ordered people to pull Xie Ping down with a cane. He was probably beaten to death by now. Even if he wanted to punish Xie Ping later, he probably wouldn't be able to. what chance.
Xie Ming stood aside and winked desperately at Xie Bang, but Xie Bang ignored Xie Ming's intention at all.
Li Huan noticed it, and he vaguely understood it just by looking at Xie Bang's reaction. No wonder Xie Bang still looked confident and didn't know what was going on emotionally.
Smiling slightly, Li Huan said: "Li just dropped by to see Xie Qian off. Even if you want to keep Li, Li won't stay!"
As he spoke, Li Huan pointed to the sedan chair and said, "The man is in the sedan chair. Sir, please take a look."
Xie Bang couldn't help but frowned after hearing Li Huan's words. It was really Li Huan's words that were too rude and he even called his father by his first name.
However, thinking of the almost life-and-death situation between the two sides, Xie Bang didn't think too much. He was just a little curious about what his father was doing and why he had to come to greet him when he had already arrived at the gate of the mansion, and why he stayed in the sedan chair. There was no movement at all.
Xie Bang knew his father's temperament well. Not to mention other things, just because Li Huan called him by his first name just now, his father would definitely not react at all.
Taking a deep breath, Xie Bang stepped forward, straightened his clothes, bowed to the sedan door and said, "My dear, welcome your father back home!"
Normally, Xie Qian should get off the sedan chair at this moment, but it was so quiet in the sedan chair, it was as if Xie Qian was asleep.
Xie Bang took a deep breath, bowed again and said, "My son, I respectfully invite my father to return home."
However, there was still no movement in the sedan chair. Now Xie Bang glanced at Li Huan and others with doubts, and immediately reached out to lift the curtain.
In fact, Xie Bang was not the only one who was curious. When Xie Bang respectfully asked Xie Qian to get off the sedan, a group of officials gathered around him and stood there neatly, bowing, trying to leave a good place for Xie Qian.
Impression, looking forward to one day being able to gain support from Xie Qian and rise to great heights.
So when Xie Bang opened the curtain, all the officials could clearly see what was going on in the sedan chair.
They saw Xie Qian, who had taken off his official uniform, official hat and official boots, leaning against the sedan in white clothes, with his hair disheveled. Something seemed wrong at first glance.
The expressions of all the officials changed when they saw this, with looks of astonishment on their faces. Apparently they did not expect that Xie Qian, who had been silent all this time, would be like this.
Seeing this situation, Xie Bang couldn't help but change his face and exclaimed: "Father!"
Xie Bang suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Huan beside him and said: "Well, Li Huan, what did you do to my father? His Majesty ordered you to escort my father back, but you actually plotted against my father. My father is an elder in the court. Do you want to rebel?"
"
Those officials also glared at Li Huan and others one by one, and some officials even jumped out and yelled at Li Huan: "Traitor, you are so brave, you dare to assassinate even the elder of the court.
Even His Majesty can't protect you."
"Yes, yes, let's go to see His Majesty together. Li Huan actually assassinated Mr. Xie Ge, and I must wait for an explanation from Your Majesty."
Li Huan couldn't help but show a trace of ridicule and disdain when he looked at the people who were acting like clowns, and said lightly: "It seems that you haven't figured out what's going on yet."
Although Xie Bang was so angry that he wanted to tear Li Huan alive, he still kept a bit of calm and just stared at Li Huan.
Li Huan glanced at the indignant officials and sneered: "Your Majesty has a decree to remove Xie Qian from his position as a minister in the cabinet, and to take back some of the rewards he was due, but he cannot afford to give them back!"
After Li Huan finished speaking, Xie Bang's body shook as if struck by lightning, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Almost as a conditioned reflex, Xie Bang pointed at Li Huan and cursed: "Traitor, you dare to falsely preach the imperial edict, you can't even try to trick me!"
However, the officials in front of the sedan gradually regained their composure after the initial shock. They looked at Xie Qian who was in a panic in the sedan, and then at Li Huan who looked confident.
An extremely bad thought came to these officials' minds. Could it be that this battle not only failed to capture Li Huan, but also caused Xie Qian and others to return in defeat, and even Xie Qian, a dignified old man, lost his official position because of this?
Dismissal.
This was an imperial minister, and a veteran of several dynasties. He had a solid foundation in the dynasty, and yet he was taken over by the emperor. It is really unbelievable.
Li Huan laughed loudly, glanced at the lost Xie Bang, and said to Ma Ming, "Ma Ming, go wake Xie Qian up and ask Xie Qian to tell them whether what Li said is true."
When Ma Ming heard this and was about to step forward, Xie Bang immediately blocked the sedan door, glared at Li Huan fiercely and said, "Stop disturbing my father, I'll come!"
Xie Bang looked at his father's embarrassment and felt no whereabouts in his heart. If it hadn't been for the certainty that had kept him calm, he might have collapsed the moment he learned that Xie Qian was dismissed from office.
Taking a deep breath, Xie Bang stretched out his hand to pinch Xie Qian's body, and with a strong force, he heard a muffled groan, followed by a violent cough. Xie Qian, who had been leaning on the sedan, finally woke up from his coma.
turn around.
"Your Majesty... spare this time for me..."
Before opening his eyes, it seemed that Xie Qian's consciousness was still stuck on the moment when he begged the emperor for mercy, and he shouted out as a conditioned reflex after waking up.
It has to be said that Xie Qian's voice directly shattered the remaining illusions in the hearts of Xie Bang and the officials in front of the sedan chair.
"It's over, Mr. Xie Ge, it's really over!"
At this moment, Li Huan said to Xie Qian, who was still a little confused in the sedan chair: "Mr. Xie Ge, wake up, you're home!"
Hearing Li Huan's voice, Xie Qian shouted almost instinctively: "Traitor, how dare you seduce the emperor..."
Xie Bang was startled immediately. He supported Xie Qian who was sitting up, and at the same time shouted with a worried look: "Father!"
Xie Qian, who opened his eyes, was completely brought back to his senses by Xie Bang's father's shout, and at the same time he could see clearly the situation around him.
His son looked at him with concern on his face. In front of the sedan, Li Huan, who was wearing the imperial flying fish uniform, seemed to be laughing at him, while all the officials standing in front of the sedan looked at him with complicated eyes.
Suddenly, Xie Qian thought that he had been deposed by the emperor and had all his rewards and titles removed. Suddenly, his straight spine collapsed, and his whole person's energy and energy suddenly disappeared.
Looking at Xie Qian at this time, he looks like a battered little old man. How can he still have the demeanor of a generation of cabinet ministers who previously had overwhelming power and commanded hundreds of officials and even the emperor dared to resist.
Taking a deep breath, Xie Qian said to Xie Bang, "Help my father out!"
Xie Bang quickly helped Xie Qian out of the sedan chair, and saw Xie Qian glance at everyone, cupped his hands towards Li Huan and said, "Thanks to your majesty's pity, Mr. Li ordered Mr. Li to send Xie back home."
Li Huan didn't say anything, but Ma Ming on the side said with a bit of disdain: "Who said that His Majesty ordered my master to send you back? You just want to come over and see who else is in Xie Mansion.
Discuss how to deal with my lord."
Li Huan couldn't help but was stunned for a moment. Ma Ming really dared to say anything. However, Li Huan did not object. Instead, he turned his attention to the officials beside him.
Xie Qian was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Huan, and then at the officials.
The officials were embarrassed. They thought they could show their presence in front of Xie Qian by coming to Xie's Mansion. However, they didn't expect that what they were waiting for was the news of Xie Qian's dismissal from office. Now they might even be dismissed.
Li Huan, the emperor's favorite minister, was targeted. If he had known what would happen, even if they were beaten to death, they would not come here to join in the fun.
However, some officials were not afraid of Li Huan, but looked at Li Huan and said, "Li Huan, don't be so arrogant. Even though Mr. Xie is serving as an official, there are also Mr. Liu Jiang, Mr. Yang Tinghe, Mr. Li Dongyang, and all of us."
Civil and military officials."
Hearing this official's words of encouragement, the other officials suddenly became more courageous and glared at Li Huan one by one.
Li Huan couldn't help but said to Ma Ming: "Ma Ming told them, how are the elders they have high hopes for doing now?"
When had Ma Ming ever had such a shining moment in front of so many high-ranking officials? Seeing that the worst officials in front of him were all fifth-grade officials, Ma Ming immediately held his head high and said with disdain: "I'm afraid you haven't.
You know, today not only Xie Qian was dismissed from office, but also Liu Jian was dismissed from office. In addition, more than a dozen officials were also taken down and have been sent to prison for trial."
Ma Ming's words were like thunder in the ears of these officials. If they hadn't seen Xie Qian's unmoved look, they would have doubted the authenticity of Ma Ming's words.
I originally thought that only Xie Qian was captured, but I didn't expect that Liu Jian was also captured, and there were even more than a dozen officials. I never thought that today's move to the palace would have such a tragic result.
Ma Ming looked at the dumbfounded high-ranking officials and couldn't help but said with a bit of pride: "Your Majesty publicly promoted my lord to the rank of Commander of the Imperial Guards, and those who were granted the title of Chief or Third Rank were all commanding generals."
Compared with Xie Qian, Liu Jian was dismissed from office, more than a dozen officials were imprisoned, and the person they originally impeached and criticized was actually promoted by the emperor. What an ironic comparison.
Before the emperor awarded Li Huan the reward, Xie Qian had already passed out, so he had no idea what happened after he fell into coma, so now after hearing Ma Ming's words, he also had a look of astonishment on his face.
Almost instinctively, Xie Qian said: "That's impossible. It's just a matter of being promoted to the commander of the Imperial Guards. It's absolutely impossible to be granted the title of Commander of the Imperial Guard."
Xie Qian said anxiously: "What do Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang and Baiguan do for a living? Don't you know what the position of commanding officers means?"
As expected, he was a veteran of several dynasties who had been in officialdom for a lifetime, had rich political experience, and was extremely sensitive. As soon as Zhu Houzhao appointed Li Huan as the capital to direct his affairs, he immediately realized Zhu Houzhao's intentions.
Li Huan couldn't help but sigh, if this political sensitivity and rich struggle experience could be used to benefit the people, what would it be like?
Some of the other officials vaguely heard that there was something wrong with adding Li Huandu to the post of Commander-in-Chief, while others looked stunned and couldn't understand why Xie Qian had such a big reaction when it was just an official position.
Ma Ming smiled and said impolitely: "You are no longer a pavilion elder. Why did you react so fiercely? Of course someone jumped out to object. Shi Hao, the deputy chief censor of the left, jumped out to object at that time. It's a pity that this person himself has a weak butt.
He is unclean, has disregarded human life, is corrupt and perverts the law, and his hypocrisy was exposed by His Majesty at that time, and now he has also entered the prison of our Jinyi Guards."
After Xie Qian's initial excitement, his face became slumped. Just listening to Ma Ming's words, he knew that Shi Hao who jumped out first must have been beaten to death by the emperor and Li Huan, plus he, Liu Jian and others
His encounter should have directly suppressed all the officials, otherwise it would have been impossible to successfully seal Li Huan.
As for Li Dongyang, to be honest Xie Qian didn't have much hope. This chief minister had never been a strong faction in the cabinet. He was often caught in the middle to mediate the relationship between the emperor and the cabinet, as well as the relationship between the chief minister and the cabinet.
As for Yang Tinghe, as for this newly promoted cabinet minister, even though Xie Qian had been an official all his life and thought he had a good eye for knowing people and had read countless people, he still couldn't see through what kind of person Yang Tinghe was and what position he stood on.
As Xie Qian's son, he has served Xie Qian for so many years. Just by looking at Xie Qian's expression, you can guess what Xie Qian is thinking. He glanced at Li Huan and advised in a low voice: "Father, as the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not be here."
Since my father has no official position and is light-hearted, let him do these things."
With a long sigh, Xie Qian glanced at Li Huan with a complicated expression, hunched over and said, "Bang'er, help my father back home!"
Seeing Xie Qian return to the mansion with the support of Xie Bang, all the officials in front of the mansion also came to their senses. They looked at Li Huan standing there, and then at the old Xie Qian. Some officials directly raised their hands to Xie Qian.
Said: "Muzhaigong, I still have something to do, so I will resign!"
When someone spoke, someone followed suit, and soon the lively scene in front of the Xie Mansion disappeared as the officials dispersed.
There were only one or two officials who really stayed with Xie Qian.
Looking at the backs of those officials riding away in sedans and carriages, Ma Ming opened his mouth and said, "These people are really fucking realistic."
Li Huan laughed loudly, pulled the reins, galloped the horse and said with a smile: "Let's go!"
Chen Ke and Ma Ming looked at each other, laughed and shouted: "Brothers, let's go!"
Supporting Xie Qian, he stepped across the steps step by step, and finally stood at the threshold. The father and son looked at the direction in which the officials were leaving, and then looked at Li Huan, who was riding away, and the heroic figure. Xie Bang looked at his father again.
There were only one or two officials left to see him off, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Why do you have to do this!"
cabinet
Affected by the incident of hundreds of officials knocking on the palace a few days ago, Liu Jian was dismissed from office following the relocation of Xie. Now only Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe are left in the original four-person cabinet, and the atmosphere in the cabinet is also very solemn and busy.
The officials came in and out, not daring to make too much noise.
With a bang, someone heard the door of the cabinet being pushed open violently. The official who was sorting out the memorial was startled. He looked up in shock and saw Liu Jin in a python suit with an angry look on his face.
Bu broke in.
"General Manager..."
Many officials are no strangers to Liu Jin, a frequent visitor to the cabinet. As Liu Jin took advantage of the civil turmoil in the past few days to desperately suppress Liu Jian, Xie Qian and other officials placed their confidants in important places.
Because of this, many officials in the DPRK and China felt threatened by Liu Jin and had impeached Liu Jin more than once.
It's a pity that those impeachment memorials were sent to the emperor's study room like snowflakes, but the emperor didn't even respond at all. Even a fool knows what this means.
The more this happened, the more arrogant Liu Jin became. In the past, when Liu Jin came to the cabinet, he would not be so unscrupulous and just barge in through the door.
I don’t know what the purpose of today is, but just by looking at Liu Jin’s angry look, I know that Liu Jin is coming with bad intentions.
"Yang Jiefu, Yang Jiefu, come out here. If you don't give us an explanation, our family will never be done with you today!"
Liu Jin was heard screaming the name of the elder Yang Tinghe in his mouth, and burst into Yang Tinghe's office with a gust of wind.
