Chapter 112 Xie Ge does not do anything when he collects money?
Beijing
Li Huan said goodbye to the emperor and took Ma Ming and others directly to the Jinyiwei Yamen.
After all, the emperor will inspect the three thousand imperial guards tomorrow. This is a matter that cannot be taken carelessly and preparations must be made in advance.
Zhu Houzhao said that as long as the guards and soldiers can satisfy the emperor after the inspection, then they can start replacing the palace guards and the emperor's honor guard.
Even though these candidates were selected one by one by Li Huan, now that things were really about to come, Li Huan became more and more worried.
Horses galloping down the long street. Although a team of royal guards riding horses on the long street is very eye-catching, at least many people have become accustomed to it after passing it the first two times. Some bold people even pointed at the horses going away.
The backs of Li Huan and others were explaining many of Li Huan's deeds to the people with astonished faces.
When Li Huan returned to the Jinyiwei Yamen, the first thing he had to do was to see Shi Wenyi, who was the commander of the Jinyiwei. Although many people could see that Shi Wenyi had lost the emperor's trust to a large extent, so the reason why he still retained
As for his official position as commander, he just wanted to wait for Li Huan to successfully take over the Jinyiwei after he had a solid foundation.
Shi Wenyi himself is very sensible and knows that his greatest use at the moment is to protect Li Huan, so he actively reduces his presence in Jinyiwei Yamen. It can be said that many things in Jinyiwei Yamen have been handed over by Shi Wenyi
It was handed over to Li Huan.
Shi Wenyi's reaction greatly disappointed those who originally wanted to watch a drama involving old and new powerful figures in Jinyiwei.
Shi Wenyi was having nothing to do in the Yamen that day, thinking about where to relax in an outer house when he got to the Yamen.
Just as he was thinking about good things, he heard footsteps coming from outside. He looked up and saw Li Huan. When he saw Li Huan, Shi Wenyi couldn't help but froze for a moment, with a look of astonishment and horror in his eyes.
Almost as a conditioned reflex, Shi Wenyi collapsed and looked at Li Huan who walked in with a wary expression: "Li Huan, what do you want to do? Could it be that you want to kill Shangguan and intend to rebel?"
Li Huan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He was a little confused by Shi Wenyi's reaction. What kind of reaction was this? He came in so well, but he acted like he was going to kill someone.
Looking at Li Huan with a dull look on his face, Shi Wenyi still kept a certain amount of vigilance and stared at Li Huan. Whenever Li Huan did anything unusual, Shi Wenyi would not sit back and wait for death. He would have to fight to the death.
At the same time, Shi Wenyi wondered, could it be that the emperor blamed himself for being attached to the position of commander of the Jinyiwei and ordered Li Huan to kill him?
But I have delegated all my powers to Li Huan, and the emperor only promoted Li Huan to be the commander of the Jin Yiwei, and did not let him take charge of the Jin Yiwei. It is no wonder that he is the commander.
Thinking about this in his mind, Shi Wenyi's expression changed constantly, which was extremely exciting.
Isn't it Li Huan? Monk Zhang Er was scratching his head and looked at Shi Wenyi with a puzzled face. However, he also saw Shi Wenyi's alertness and did not continue to step forward. Instead, he froze his figure and said with a bit of confusion.
: "Why do you say this, sir?"
Shi Wenyi pointed at Li Huan. At this time, Li Huan was wearing a brocade robe and an embroidered spring knife hanging from his waist. However, his body was stained with a lot of blood. No matter how you looked at it, it gave people the illusion that he had just killed someone.
This appearance suddenly appeared here. It would be strange if Shi Wenyi didn't think much about it.
When Li Huan lowered his head and looked, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He still didn't understand why Shi Wenyi had misunderstood.
Taking a deep breath, Li Huan bowed his hands to Shi Wenyi and said: "Not long ago, Li accompanied the emperor to fight two tigers, and accidentally got some blood. He was so anxious to come back that he forgot to change into clean clothes before coming to see you, which disturbed you."
, please forgive me, sir."
Shi Wenyi was so sensible that he took the initiative to hand over the authority of Jinyiwei to him. As the saying goes, Li Huan always has to accept this favor, so Li Huan still maintains enough respect for Shi Wenyi on weekdays.
, giving Zushi Wenyi face.
After hearing what Li Huan said, Shi Wenyi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Huan's expression didn't look like he was lying.
If Li Huan really followed the emperor's order to kill him, then he really had no room for resistance. Besides, the emperor wanted to take him down, and it was just a decree. There was no need for Li Huan to kill him on his back.
Let's attack Shangguan because of his bad reputation.
After thinking about this, Shi Wenyi let go of his heart, put down his vigilance and said to Li Huan: "So it turns out that it is Shi who uses the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman. Brother Li Huan, don't be surprised!"
Li Huan smiled bitterly, looked at the blood stained on his body, and saluted Shi Wenyi: "Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and change my clothes before I come back to see you."
When Shi Wenyi was about to say no, Li Huan had already left.
Returning to his office, Li Huan went inside and changed into clean clothes before going to see Shi Wenyi.
When he saw Shi Wenyi again, Shi Wenyi already looked like a good old man and greeted Li Huan to sit down. While pouring tea for Li Huan, he said enviously: "Brother Li is really Jane in the heart of the emperor, the emperor's holy family, absolutely unparalleled."
The two of them are comparable and make others envious!"
Li Huan said with a smile: "My lord, you are joking. Li is just wrongly loved by His Majesty. He can only do things well to repay His Majesty's kindness."
After saying a few polite words, Li Huan looked serious and said: "Your Excellency, you should know that I have been ordered to reorganize the bodyguards. Now all three thousand bodyguards are in place. I have informed your majesty today that your majesty intends to check the bodyguards tomorrow."
, adults need to be present during the introduction.”
After all, Shi Wenyi is also the leader of the Jinyi Guard. Tomorrow the emperor will conduct a military inspection of the guards, and Shi Wenyi will obviously be present. Otherwise, if Shi Wenyi is not informed, even if Shi Wenyi doesn't say it, he will probably have opinions in his heart.
What's more important is that once word spreads, Li Huan's reputation among the royal guards will inevitably plummet, and he will have to be known as a man who is arrogant and has no regard for superior officials.
Shi Wenyi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood what Li Huan meant. He immediately laughed and said: "Okay, okay, for such a big event, I will definitely be there tomorrow."
After Li Huan returned, he immediately recruited Zhao Yi and Chen Ke. Now among the thousands of officials in Jinyiwei, including Qian Ning, they all expressed their intention to move closer to him. However, in comparison, Li Huan was obviously more
Trust Chen Ke and Zhao Yi more.
First, Chen Kenai was his superior officer at the time, and he didn't have any special objections to people who came to his place. He was considered an impartial and decisive official.
One is that Chen Ke and Zhao Yi were the first people to express their intention to get closer to him, so Li Huan would leave many things to them.
When they saw Li Huan, Chen Ke and Zhao Yi first paid homage and then looked at Li Huan expectantly.
After all, they knew that Li Huan had gone to the palace not long ago to ask for His Majesty's permission to replace the Imperial City Guards and the Emperor's Guard of Honor.
Li Huan saw the look in their eyes, smiled slightly and said: "His Majesty's decree, tomorrow the guards will be inspected. If it satisfies Your Majesty, then we will start to replace the guards and honor guards."
Chen Ke and Zhao Yi couldn't help showing joy on their faces. Since the emperor agreed to replace the guards and honor guards, this was obviously the greatest trust in Li Huan. As Li Huan's subordinates, they only had Li Huan.
If you gain more favor in front of the emperor, they will also benefit from it, right?
"Congratulations, sir!"
They both congratulated Li Huan.
Li Huan waved his hand and said: "Congratulations, it's a little too early to say it. After all, there is still a test to pass tomorrow. I am calling you here now to let you two check it again and see what I have selected."
There are no problems among those candidates."
Zhao Yi and Chen Ke are old men who have been working in the Jinyiwei Yamen for twenty years. They have been working from hundreds of households to thousands of households. It can be said that they know the way up and down the Jinyiwei.
The problem that Li Huan didn't know could not be clearer to the two of them than just looking at the patterns on their palms.
Chen Ke and Zhao Yi looked at each other, nodded immediately and said, "I obey."
The three people moved out the names, birthplaces and other information of the three thousand guards and soldiers, and began to screen them one by one.
Fortunately, Li Huan had already prepared. Although there were only three thousand bodyguards, it did not prevent him from deploying more just in case. So now, even if some people are screened out, there is no need to worry about insufficient numbers.
This screening took place in the evening and lasted for most of the day. Even with Li Huan's energy, he felt his eyes were dazzled, and his mind was filled with information about the guards and soldiers.
But this afternoon's busy work was not fruitless. With the help of Chen Ke and Zhao Yi, Li Huan once again screened out hundreds of candidates from among those candidates, and then added some reserves, gathering a total of three thousand candidates.
number.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Li Huan, Zhao Yi, and Chen Ke looked at each other, and Li Huan smiled and said: "Thanks to the two of you for helping me this time, otherwise, there might be someone among these people who threatens His Majesty's safety.
Mix in.”
Chen Ke and Zhao Yi shook their heads repeatedly. You must know that the shock Li Huan brought to them was really too great. They never thought that the name list and other information of the three thousand guards and soldiers, Li Huan actually
They were all memorized in his mind. Every time he named a person, Li Huan could accurately tell the other person's place of origin, background, and resume after entering the Jinyiwei Yamen.
These were not one, two, or thirty or fifty people. It was not impossible to memorize them by forcing memory. You must know that there were as many as three thousand. Li Huan actually wrote down all of them without missing a word, which only made the two of them deeply amazed.
Li Huan stood up, stretched his body and said, "Let's go, I'm the host today, you two have to give Li this face."
Li Huandu said what he said, so the two of them naturally nodded in agreement.
Zuiyue Tower is an ordinary restaurant. Most of the guests who come here are people from the middle and lower classes, which makes the restaurant have a bit of a market atmosphere and seems very lively.
When Li Huan was an official of the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei, he often came here to have drinks with Ma Ming, Chen Yao and others.
After changing into casual clothes, the three of them chose a seat by the window and sat down. Li Huan greeted the waiter familiarly and ordered wine and food.
Seeing Li Huan's familiar appearance, Chen Ke couldn't help but be surprised: "Doesn't your Excellency come here often?"
Li Huan smiled and said: "Ziming, you don't know something. I used to bring Ma Ming, Chen Yao and the rest of them here to make tooth sacrifices. I have to say that the braised pork in this restaurant is quite delicious, especially the one here."
The chef's fine Fujian cuisine is very good, you might as well try it later."
Generally speaking, it is unlikely that Chen Ke, Zhao Yi and the others would come to this kind of restaurant. After all, they are also members of the Imperial Guard. They usually look down on such a place where three religions and nine streams are mixed.
However, after listening to what Li Huan said, the two of them understood why Li Huan came to such an inconspicuous restaurant. The relationship was due to the excellent hometown dishes cooked by the other party's chef.
The dozen or so tables in the hall are already filled with people. At a glance, they are either peddlers or businessmen coming and going. Anyway, from the perspective of Chen Ke and Zhao Yi, there is no one here.
He is a member of the officialdom.
While they were looking around, at a table behind them, several people were chatting in low voices in Mandarin mixed with a local accent that Li Huan was all too familiar with.
Originally, Li Huan didn't care much, but the rich local accents of these people attracted Li Huan's attention. In addition, the low-pitched conversation of those people actually involved the former Pavilion boss Xie Qian, so Li Huan couldn't help but take a second look.
Li Huan's actions naturally attracted the attention of Zhao Yi and Chen Ke. After all, the two of them were also people who practiced internal martial arts. Although their cultivation was not first-rate, they were still considered top-notch beings among the second-rate.
Although the voices of the people behind them were lowered a lot, they couldn't hide it from their ears.
After a slight sideways glance, Chen Ke said in a low voice: "Sir, these people should be from the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian, and their identities should not be ordinary businessmen or traffickers."
Chen Ke then said: "You see, although the leader is dressed simply, if you look closely, you will find that the lining of his clothes is made of fine silk, and the workmanship, stitching, etc. of his clothes are all excellent."
It was made by a famous artist, and is not comparable to that of an ordinary embroiderer. Looking at the jade pendant hanging around his waist, it is probably worth no less than dozens of taels of silver, and he does not have the philistine spirit of a merchant..."
As expected, he walked from the bottom to the position of Jinyiwei Qianhu step by step. Chen Ke just glanced at it seemingly unintentionally, and he came to so many conclusions at once. The observation was so subtle. It can be seen that Chen Ke had already made Jinyiwei
The ability to observe words and emotions is imprinted in my bones.
At this moment, Zhao Yi suddenly whispered: "If I am not wrong, the leader of these people should be the staff of some local official, and the rest should be guards and servants."
Li Huan nodded slightly. In fact, through Chen Ke and Zhao Yi's analysis, the identities of those people could be roughly determined.
These people are most likely the staff and bodyguards sent by a local official from Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to visit the capital.
At this moment, the child came up with wine and food, and said with a smile: "To be honest, your food is ready, but do you have any other instructions?"
Li Huan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I will call you if I need anything."
Li Huan immediately greeted Zhao Yi while Chen Ke ate food and drank wine. However, because of the low-pitched conversations among the people beside him, Li Huan's attention was gradually attracted.
But soon the people at that table finished their meals quickly and then went into the backyard.
Zhao Yi, who had been paying attention to Li Huan's expression, saw those people leaving and said: "Sir, it is too common for local officials to send their confidants to Beijing to gain connections in order to get promoted."
Li Huan nodded slightly. He naturally knew this. Local officials tried their best to move around and improve their relationships. This has been the same since ancient times.
Smiling slightly, Li Huan said: "Did you hear just now that the person behind that group of people is not an ordinary official, but a disciple of Mr. Xie Qian."
Chen Ke couldn't help but laugh and said: "So what? I'm afraid that the other party and his party will be greatly disappointed this time. Xie Qian has been removed from his position as Pavilion Elder by the adults. Now he is just a commoner. I think these people must be very disappointed at this time."
troubles."
Zhao Yi also had a smile on his face when he heard this.
Think about it, after finally entering Beijing and wanting to have a relationship, you find out that the person you want to have a relationship with is worthless. You can imagine the depression.
Li Huan didn't take it to heart, he just smiled and raised his glass and said: "Come, drink!"
But he said that the few people who attracted Li Huan's attention returned to the backyard of the restaurant, and the leader said to a guard: "Go and invite Cai Changgui, and tell him that I have something to ask him."
Soon the shopkeeper of Zuiyue Tower was invited over. When he saw the man, he couldn't help but be startled. He quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Mr. Sun, when did you enter the capital? Why didn't you send someone to inform you in advance?"
Let Cai make preparations in advance so that he can receive you sir."
Sun Xiang glanced at Cai Changgui and said, "Shopkeeper Cai, Sun also just arrived today. He just had a simple meal in the front hall and inquired about some news."
Shopkeeper Cai looked around and said, "Mr. Sun, this is not the place to talk. Please come with me."
After introducing Sun Xiang into a room, Shopkeeper Cai looked straight and said, "I wonder what your lord is sending you to Beijing for?"
Sun Xiang said sternly: "You also know that in order to gain access to Mr. Xie Ge and be transferred to the capital, my lord previously gave him 200,000 taels of silver. However, there has been no news so far. Your lord ordered me to prepare another generous gift and prepare to visit Xie Ge."
Mr. Ge, let’s make some insinuations and see when we can get a result.”
Shopkeeper Cai couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he heard this, and said with a bit of a wry smile on his face: "I'm afraid your master's plan will be in vain."
Sun Xiang couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Shopkeeper Cai with shock and confusion and said: "How can I say this? Your Excellency is the proud disciple of Mr.
How can Mr. Xie Ge still accept money and not do things?"
