Zhu Houzhao still sat there with a calm expression, as if he was not affected at all by the impeachment of a group of officials.
In the square in front of Zhu Houzhao, people knelt on the ground in darkness. Officials from the Sixth Section, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Sixth Ministry and even the Hanlin Academy came forward to impeach Li Huan and Wang Yangming.
Under normal circumstances, no matter what he thinks in his heart, the emperor has to react and give an answer to the officials. But for some reason, Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, seems very calm at this time.
Some officials who were kneeling on the ground secretly looked at the emperor. For some reason, when they saw the emperor's calm face, they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Wang Hao and Liu Yu stood tall. As cabinet ministers, they seemed quite calm in the face of such a situation.
At this moment, a cold snort was heard, breaking the silence in the field.
Everyone couldn't help but follow the sound and saw the British Duke Zhang Lun, Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Fu and other distinguished nobles standing among the ranks of nobles, all glaring at them.
When they saw that the person who spoke out was an honorable person, Chen Wenliang, Lu Tai and others all showed a bit of disdain.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the power of the Xungui Group could even suppress them. However, after generations of efforts, the Xungui Group was finally brought down. Now the Xungui Group is like a decoration. Why are so many officials like this this time?
The concerted efforts to impeach Li Huan and Wang Yangming were not only aimed at Li Huan, but also to continue to suppress the Xungui Group.
Even if the Xungui Group shows signs of rising, they will suppress it without hesitation, so the reaction of the Xungui Group was completely expected by these officials.
Li Huan can now be said to be the representative figure of the Xungui Group. After all, Li Huan is married to the daughter of the British Duke and the Chengguo Duke. If Li Huan is not a member of the Xungui Group, I am afraid no one will
will believe it.
Now that the Xungui Group has stood up and spoken for Li Huan, that is perfectly normal. It would be strange if the Xungui Group had no reaction.
Zhang Lun snorted coldly and immediately stepped forward and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the British Duke Zhang Lun has something to say."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang Lun, nodded slightly and said, "Speak!"
Zhang Lun saluted the emperor, then turned and looked at the officials who had prostrated themselves on the ground and sneered: "You keep saying that the generals and governors are plotting rebellion. Do you have any real evidence? It should be noted that there is no evidence, so there is no evidence.
To frame an important official of the imperial court is a grave crime."
Zhu Fu, who was stroking his beard, took a step forward and said coldly: "The soldiers in front fought bloody battles, killed the enemy for the country, annihilated more than 100,000 Tatars, and protected the country. They can be said to be loyal and loyal. There are no meritorious soldiers yet."
After returning to the capital, you are so impatient to jump out and frame the court's meritorious ministers. Could it be that you are forcing hundreds of thousands of meritorious soldiers to rebel for your own selfish interests?"
Xu Guangzhao, the Duke of Dingguo, said with disdain: "If I tell you what, you must have benefited from Dayan, the Hu chieftain, and framed the loyal people of the court. You are obviously Han officials, but you are actually Han thieves.
!」
"you......"
Chen Wenliang, the imperial censor of Zuodu with white hair and beard, was immediately filled with shame and anger when he heard this. He angrily shouted at Xu Guangzha: "Xu Guangzha, you are slandering others. We are dedicated to serving the public, so how can we talk about favoritism?"
As he spoke, Chen Wenliang pointed at Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu, Xu Guangzha and other nobles and sneered: "Since you said that we have wronged Li Huan, Wang Yangming and the others, I will ask you, Li Huan, Wang Yangming and others to write in front of the court. Why do they disobey orders and show no respect? Do they still have the laws of the court in their eyes, but do they still have His Majesty?"
The sky is bright, and outside the tall palace walls, there are dark carriages and sedans parked in front of the imperial city. Many officials' servants or trusted staff are waiting outside the palace gate at this time. People gather in twos and threes, talking in low voices. What are you wearing?
A scribe in green shirt, about forty years old, was gathering with several equally impressive scribes. These people were the confidants of Chen Wenliang and several other important officials in the imperial court.
These people came early with their benefactors. Although they were not qualified to enter the imperial city to participate in the imperial meeting, they stopped here one by one just to get the first opportunity to get the chance to hear their benefactor impeach Li Huan and Wang Yangming at the imperial meeting today. result.
The average person may not know what will happen at the Great Court Meeting, but a very small number of people are even participating in it and making suggestions for their benefactors. Naturally, they know what will happen at the Great Court Meeting today.
I heard a scribe look towards the direction of the imperial city with some hope and said: "If all is right, the imperial meeting should have started by now. Maybe it won't be long before a good show will be staged. .”
A scribe on the side stroked his beard, chuckled and nodded: "What Brother Wen Qi said is true. Today all the elders jointly petitioned the emperor to impeach Li Huan, Wang Yangming and others. Even if they cannot be proven guilty of treason, If the emperor and Li Huan are to destroy the relationship between emperor and minister, as long as the emperor does not show favor to Li Huan, Li Huan can be kicked out of the court at any time."
Lu Zhuang was a relative of Lü Tai, the Minister of Household Affairs, and he was a public official during the Hongzhi period. It could be said that if one was willing, Lü Tai's power could be used to fill a local vacancy for a county magistrate.
However, Lu Zhuang has always been resourceful and relied on by Lu Tai, so he has always been by Lu Tai's side to advise him.
At this time, Lu Zhuang said with a bit of a smile: "It's only his fault that Li Huan made a mistake and delayed his return with hundreds of thousands of troops. This is a way to die. Even if the emperor tries to kill him again, How to trust, when it comes to military power, there must be some gaps and doubts. We only need to follow the trend to push Li Huan into the bottomless abyss."
While talking, several people who knew the inside story looked at each other and smiled and said: "Haha, this time Li Huan will shed a layer of skin even if he is not dead. He has lost the favor of the emperor. When he is here, he will seek revenge when he has a grudge, and he will hold on to his injustice when he has an injustice. ah."
One of the scribes had tears in his eyes, bowed his hands to heaven, and said with a trembling voice: "Dozens of members of my master's family died tragically at the hands of the traitor Li Huan. Today, I, the disciple, can avenge my teacher."
Lu Zhuang glanced at the scribe and said, "My condolences to Brother Tang, Mr. Xie Lao is the only one who was harmed by Li Huan. This time he, Li Huan, will definitely die without a burial place."
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came roaring from far away, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in front of the palace gate.
In fact, there were no other sounds except for some low voices at this time. After all, no one dared to make a noise in front of the palace gate, in the heart of the imperial city.
Similarly, no one dared to gallop in front of the Imperial City Palace Gate, so when they heard the sound of horse hooves and the roar of a group of people in the distance, everyone looked at the visitor in great surprise.
"Who is this person? He is so bold!"
"There are people who dare to ride horses in the important place of the Imperial City. Could it be that the Imperial City Guards are blind?"
For a moment, many people looked at the roaring team in the distance, and at the same time they were surprised and looked like they were watching a good show.
As expected, such a big movement naturally alerted the attention of the imperial guards who maintained order outside the imperial city and guarded the imperial city immediately.
I saw a group of imperial guards coming quickly. A group of more than ten imperial guards, led by their own flag officers, rushed towards the cavalry.
In fact, there were not many people coming, only about a dozen riders, but as the people came closer and closer, they felt a mountain of pressure, as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood were rushing towards them.
In an instant, the rising sun climbed out of the sea of clouds on the horizon. In an instant, a ray of rising sun fell on the horizon, reflecting on the leader's figure.
With the brilliance of the morning sun, the eyes that had been directed at the other party in front of the palace gate suddenly fell on him. In an instant, when they saw that figure, countless people opened their eyes wide in an instant, with faces on their faces.
A look of horror and disbelief.
"It's him, how could it be him!"
"This is impossible, an illusion, it must be an illusion. Isn't he in Yan'an Mansion? Why did he appear in the capital?"
The person who appeared in the eyes of everyone was none other than Li Huan, the mighty general who became famous throughout the world in one battle and stirred up the storm in the capital.
With Li Huan's reputation, almost everyone present knew him. Most of them had even seen Li Huan in person and were no strangers to Li Huan.
After all, these people can accompany the masters of each family to court, so they are naturally the confidants of their confidants. If they don't know Li Huan, the most important minister that the emperor relies on, they are probably not qualified to accompany the masters of each family.
.
Of course, it is not ruled out that a very small number of people have really never seen Li Huan, but even if they have never seen Li Huan, they have heard of Li Huan's name. At this moment, listening to the exclamations of the people around him, they naturally immediately
Learned Li Huan’s identity.
"Li Huan has returned to Beijing. When did this happen? Why didn't I receive any news?"
I don't know why, but when they saw Li Huan suddenly appearing here, many people's hearts suddenly thumped, and they felt a little bit bad for no reason.
Especially Lu Zhuang, Wen Qi and others were surprised and instantly felt uneasy.
My master is currently attending the imperial meeting in the imperial city, and is preparing to impeach Li Huan at the imperial meeting, hoping to prove that Li Huan is guilty of treason.
But now the person whom the officials were impeaching appeared in the capital so quietly. Luzhuang, Wenqi and the others could imagine that if Li Huan suddenly appeared at the imperial meeting, how many people would want to impeach him.
I was shocked and my jaw dropped.
At the same time, Li Huan rode up to the front, and the team of imperial guards recognized Li Huan immediately.
After all, these imperial guards were personally selected by Li Huan from among the royal guards. Speaking of which, Li Huan was kind to them in promoting and appreciating them.
In addition, Li Huan was in charge of the Jinyi Guards and could be said to be the immediate boss of these imperial guards. Therefore, the moment they saw Li Huan, the group of imperial guards immediately bowed to Li Huan and said: "
I’ve met the adults.”
Li Huan turned over and dismounted, and at the same time, more than a dozen people behind him, including Li Hu, Li Guo, Lin Pingzhi, Xu Ying, etc. all turned over and dismounted, standing solemnly behind Li Huan with an evil aura.
Many people around saw Li Hu behind Li Huan. Li Guo and the others couldn't help but change their expressions slightly. It was true that the evil aura on these people was too heavy. The evil aura that seemed to be filled with a strong bloody aura made people afraid.
Look directly.
It can be imagined that Li Guo, Li Hu and others followed Li Huan and galloped across the battlefield. Each of them probably killed more than a hundred Tatars. One can imagine the bloody evil energy condensed on their bodies.
Even a butcher can make one's heart palpitate, let alone these people who have fought countless battles and have their hands stained with blood.
At this time, the flag officer said to Li Huan: "Your Excellency, are you planning to enter the palace to see His Majesty?"
Li Huan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "When Li returns to Beijing, he will naturally go to see His Majesty as soon as possible."
The little flag official heard this and said quickly: "I will order you to open the palace door for your lord."
Many people were shocked when they heard this. After all, many people thought that now that the palace gate was closed, no one could easily enter the palace. But listening to the meaning of the little flag official, it seemed that he wanted to let Li Huan enter the palace, and someone immediately came.
He shouted angrily at the little flag officer: "You are so bold. In the important place of the imperial city, without the approval of the emperor, and without the emperor's will, you dare to let people into the palace privately. I'm afraid you don't want the heads on your neck."
!」
The person who scolded Tang Yu was Tang Yu, the same person who had previously prayed to God with tears in his eyes, talking about someone who could avenge his mentor.
All Tang Yu could think about was to prevent Li Huan from entering the palace. After all, at the court meeting, hundreds of officials may have begun to impeach Li Huan. If Li Huan was allowed to enter the palace, who knows what unexpected changes would happen.
, so when he saw that the little flag official wanted to let Li Huan enter the palace privately, Tang Yu stood up without thinking much.
Tang Yu's scolding immediately made many people around him come to their senses. Wen Qi, Lu Zhuang and others all looked towards the little flag officer and others.
Lu Zhuang could only be heard staring at the little flag official and saying, "As imperial guards, you should know the importance of the safety of the imperial city. Don't be confused for a moment and do something you will regret."
"Yes, yes, the imperial city is so important that anyone can enter if they want to."
"Well said, so what about Li Huan? Without the emperor's will, he would never even think of entering the imperial city without permission."
All of a sudden, everyone was talking to each other, either directed at the little flag official or at Li Huan, including threats, ridicules, and so on.
The little flag official was just stunned for a moment, looked up at the people around him who were accusing him, and snorted coldly: "Shut up, in the important place of the imperial city, how can I allow you to make noise here."
As he spoke, the flag officer immediately shouted coldly and said to the dozen or so subordinates beside him: "Keep an eye on them all. If anyone dares to make any noise again, he will be slapped thirty times in the face and beaten with sticks."
"yes!"
Immediately, more than a dozen imperial guards responded in unison with excitement on their faces, and looked at the people around them with excited eyes.
The people around who were originally ridiculing Xiaoqiu Guan or Li Huan listened to the Xiaoqiu Guan's order, and then looked at the reaction of the imperial guards. They all seemed to have been strangled by the neck, and the original noise suddenly stopped.
end.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and stared at the little flag officer angrily. The anger in their eyes could almost burn people to death. Among the crowd, Du Ze couldn't help but angrily said to the little flag officer: "How dare you? My master is the leftist."
Censor of the capital..."
Li Huan stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the crowd with an indifferent expression. After listening to Xiaoqiguan's words, Li Huan couldn't help but look at Xiaoqiguan with admiration.
The official name of the small flag officer is Yan Qi. He originally came from the Jinyi Guard system. He was later transferred by Li Huan and entered the imperial city to become a member of the imperial guard. He was full of admiration and respect for Li Huan. At this moment, he felt Li Huan’s gaze.
The appreciation in my heart suddenly made my whole heart filled with excitement and joy.
This was approved by Li Huan.
But before he could get too happy, Du Ze slapped him in the face, which made Yan Qi angry.
He had just given an order not to make noise, but as soon as he finished speaking, Du Ze directly confronted him. If this wasn't a slap in the face, what did he mean?
Especially at this moment, Li Huan, who was standing with his hands behind his hands, was looking at him with interest. Yan Qi was furious. He first bowed his hand to Li Huan and then strode over to Du Ze who threatened him.
With just two steps, Yan Qi walked up to Du Ze. Du Ze saw Yan Qi walking towards him, staring at him with anger in his eyes, and felt a thump in his heart. He didn't know why he felt a little regret in his heart.
No one else spoke, so why could he not help but speak? But Du Ze soon thought that his master was the dignified censor of Zuodu, and he was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He was in a high and powerful position.
How many people in this civil and military court dare to offend the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Thinking of this, the fear in Du Ze's heart suddenly disappeared. He became more courageous and looked at Yan Qi with disdain.
Yan Qixing came to Du Ze, snorted coldly and said nothing. He turned his hand and slapped Du Ze hard on the face. With that slap, Du Ze was turned around in a circle.
, with a face full of disbelief, he covered his cheeks that suddenly swelled up, and screamed with blood flowing from his mouth: "God damn Qiu Ba, you, a lowly guard, dare to hit me. I am a distinguished master.
....."
Yan Qi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and was slightly shocked. However, when he saw Li Huan looking at him with admiration, he suddenly became calm. He turned his hand and slapped him hard, and immediately slapped him again.
Du Ze was slapped in a circle. This time, both sides of Du Ze's cheeks were swollen. He covered his face with his hands, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he whimpered: "How dare you, how dare you.
....."
At this time, Du Ze received two slaps, and his cheeks swelled up, especially the look in his eyes that was full of disbelief. The people around him were stunned when they saw that embarrassed look, and they swallowed subconsciously, only feeling that their own
My cheeks hurt a little.
"Well done. If you want this dishonest person, I should pull out his tongue and sew his mouth shut!"
The one who started to applaud was Xu Ying, who was full of evil spirits. He had obviously heard what Du Ze had just said.
