Chapter 322 The words to deceive the emperor [asking for a monthly ticket]
Latest website: www.ishuquge.com
Even a fool can clearly hear the meaning of Li Dongyang's words. They are nothing more than admonishing the emperor not to trust Li Huan too much. However, Li Dongyang is about to serve as an official. Don't say that he is just admonishing the emperor at this time, even if it is really parting.
When Li Huan was impeached, Li Huan would just pretend that he didn't hear it.
After all, compared to Xie Qian, Liu Jian and others, at least Li Dongyang, the chief assistant, has done a fairly good job in the past few years. The political situation in the court can be maintained stable, and Li Dongyang has contributed a lot.
Li Huan was not so narrow-minded as to deprive people of their right to speak.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Li Dongyang, nodded slightly and said, "I will definitely keep your family's loyal words in mind.
Li Dongyang bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."
While speaking, Li Dongyang paid homage to the emperor, turned around and headed towards the palace gate. Suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Li Dongyang. Looking at Li Dongyang's figure that was getting away, everyone couldn't help but feel moved.
Emotion.
Li Dongyang's departure represents the end of an era. When Emperor Hongzhi was dying, he entrusted Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian with the important task of entrusting himself to the emperor.
To this day, the three former trusted ministers ransacked their homes, resigned, and became officials, which represents the end of an era.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Dongyang's figure, and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart, and said to Gao Feng beside him: "My companion, please go and escort Li Qing out of the palace for me."
With one of the chief ministers of the cabinet taking office, there was no more trouble in this great court meeting. At this time, both the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court had lost their energy.
Even Li Huan seemed to have ceased his activities at this time, and did not cause any more trouble.
With Qiu Ju shouting loudly, the meeting that lasted for half a day finally dispersed.
All the civil and military officials of the dynasty breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief at the moment when the dynasty left. Too many accidents had happened in the past half day.
I thought that at the beginning of the imperial meeting, hundreds of officials would gather to impeach Li Huan and Wang Yangming for treason. Even if they could not prove Li Huan's accusation of treason, at least the emperor would order Li Huan and Wang Yangming to be sent to prison.
.
But who would have thought that Li Huan had returned to the capital without knowing when, and even appeared at the court meeting. The emperor even tried to excuse him, and only asked the officials to impeach him to no avail.
Even Chen Wenliang, the censor of Zuodu who was the main force in impeaching Li Huan, a noble official in the court, was ruined because of Li Huan and ended up in prison.
That's all. The key point is that Li Huan actually took the opportunity to impeach the officials in charge of logistics affairs in the army at the court meeting. He even directly targeted officials from the Ministry of War, Ministry of Household Affairs, and Ministry of Industry, and forced Li Dongyang, who was the chief minister of the cabinet, to
He had to stand up and bear part of the blame, and the dignified chief minister resigned from his position as a result.
The officials left Qianqing Palace in twos and threes and walked towards the palace gate. After calming down and looking at today's court meeting, they suddenly discovered that not only was Li Huan safe and sound, but the civil service group had paid a heavy price for this.
Several officials walked beside the cabinet minister Wang Ao. Wang Ao had a gloomy face, and it was obvious that the minister was in a very bad mood.
As his good friend, Chen Wenliang, the imperial censor of Zuodu, had spent a lot of effort to transfer him from Nanjing to the capital. He thought he could be his right-hand assistant, but in the end, Li Huan overturned him for the first time.
The powerful arm was cut off.
Wang Ao couldn't help but feel annoyed when he thought about what kind of treatment Chen Wenliang would receive if he fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei.
After finally grasping the handle that could knock Li Huan into the abyss, the emperor actually trusted Li Huan so much that he did not hesitate to use the imperial edict to excuse Li Huan.
As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Lu Jing still had a look of panic on her face. She couldn't help but whisper as she followed Wang Hao: "Brother Wang, I'm afraid that Li Huan is impeaching Shen Yu, Ma Qing and others. Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong."
Wang Ao paused, took a deep breath, glanced at Lu Jing and said, "What Lu Shangshu said is true. Just now I saw that Li Huan's posture was largely due to Shen Yu, Ma Qing and others' greed for ink, and they intended to drag down the Ministry of Works." , the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household are going into the water."
Lu Jing thought that she had almost been dragged down by Li Huan just now. When she thought about it, she still couldn't help but feel palpitations. The look of fear on her face became more and more intense and she said tremblingly: "I'm afraid that the thief Li Huan won't be like this." Give it up
Hugh, the appointment of the chief minister this time has temporarily diverted the emperor's attention. I'm afraid that the traitor Li Huan will bring up the old matter again at the next court meeting. By then, I'm afraid..."
Seeing Lu Jing's fearful look, Wang Ao couldn't help but frowned and looked at Lu Jing steadily and said: "Shang Shu Lu, regarding the case of embezzlement of materials and logistics in the army, could it be that Shangshu Lu..."
As if she guessed what Wang Ao was going to say, Lu Jing shook her head and said: "Brother Wang, where are you thinking? After all, Lu is also an important minister of the Six Ministries. Lu still knows the importance of the supply of logistics supplies for the army in a war. How could you dare to do something like this!"
Wang Ao took a deep look at Lu Jing and said: "Since Lu Shangshu is not involved in the logistics corruption case, even if Li Huan has great ability, he cannot be implicated in Lu Shangshu, otherwise the civil and military officials of the entire court would not agree. .”
Lu Jing paused and didn't say much.
As the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dispersed, what happened at the Great Court Meeting also spread, causing a sensation in the capital in less than half a day.
What happened at the imperial meeting today was really shocking. Li Huan, who had just defeated Tatar Shoes not long ago, Wang Yangming was almost labeled as a rebel and became a traitor. He had just been transferred back to the capital and served as the censor of Zuodu. The famous scholar Chen Wenliang was sent to prison, and Li Dongyang, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, became an official.
One after another, any one of these things would cause a sensation in ordinary times, let alone these several things happening together.
Lu Mansion
There was a crisp sound, and a roar came from the open study: "Damn it, damn Li Huan, why does the emperor favor him so much? I can't bear to do it."
The housekeeper Lu Kui stood quietly outside the study door with eyes and nose, watching Lu Jing quietly venting his inner uneasiness and anger in the study.
As someone who has been with Lu Jing since she was a child, from being Lu Jing's bookboy to now being the housekeeper of the Lu family, Lu Kui naturally understands Lu Jing's temperament very well.
He knew very well that he could only communicate with Lu Jing after she had completely vented her anger. Otherwise, whoever got close to her now would definitely become the target of Lu Jing's anger.
Finally, calm returned to the study, and Lu Jing's slightly hoarse voice came: "Lu Kui, order someone to tidy up the study."
At this time, Lu Kui breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his hands to the servants and maids who were waiting in the distance. Soon, the maids and servants walked into the study and tidied up the study as quickly as possible. .
After the study was tidied up and everyone left, only Lu Kui and Lu Jing, the master and servant, were left in the study.
At this time, Lu Kui poured a cup of tea for Lu Jing, brought it to Lu Jing and said: "Master, have a sip of tea to relieve your anger. I have been with the master for decades, and I have never seen him with such a big hair."
Could it be that fire has something to do with Li Huan?"
Lu Jing took the tea and took a sip, then put the tea cup down so hard that the tea splashed a lot, and said with a bit of anger: "Who else is there besides that traitor? Today, sir, I was almost ruined by that traitor."
, my family is ruined, how can I not be angry, sir!"
Lu Kui's expression changed after hearing this, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Master, you are the official of the Six Departments. Even if Li Huan wants to deal with me, you have to think carefully.
The officials of the six departments are really just decorations. Any one of them is an important minister of the court. If any one of them is touched, it will affect thousands of people. If not, it may cause turmoil in the court.
After all, to be able to hold the position of an official of the Six Divisions, each one requires qualifications, connections, and a small interest group gathered around each one, which can be regarded as a hill above the court.
Therefore, every department is involved in a great deal, and it cannot be done casually.
Lu Jing snorted coldly and said: "Although I am the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, I am noble, but how does it compare to the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet? Isn't Li Dongyang forced to ask for an official position?"
Lu Kui had not heard any news from the outside world, so when he heard the news from Lu Jing, he couldn't help being stunned.
After all, he has been with Lu Jing for many years. He has been influenced by his ears and eyes, and his knowledge is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. He naturally understands the meaning of Lu Jing's words.
All the chief ministers and ministers of the cabinet have invited themselves to
Shi, this made Lu Kuidu feel that the news was so unbelievable.
After looking at Lu Kui, Lu Jing told Lu Kui what happened at the meeting today.
Although the two are called master and servant, in fact they are closer to each other and can be said to be brothers. Lu Kui has always acted as half of Lu Jing's confidant and aide.
At this moment, Lu Jing calmed down and looked at Lu Kuidao, whose words were vaguely ominous: "Lu Kui, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this time. That thief Li Huan will never give up.
At that time, I don’t know how many people in this court will have their homes confiscated and their clans exterminated, and their heads will be endless..."
As she spoke, Lu Jing turned to Lu Kui and said, "You can quietly take An'er with you and hide incognito. This can be regarded as leaving a legacy for our Lu family!"
Listening to Lu Jing's explanation of how to arrange funeral arrangements, Lu Kui couldn't help but raise his head and said to Lu Jing: "Sir, why are you here? Things haven't reached such a stage yet."
Lu Jing exhaled and said: "Now that Li Huan holds evidence of corruption by Shen Yu, Ma Qing and others, as long as Shen Yu, Ma Qing and others testify, then Zuo Yang, Bao Ming and the others will definitely not be able to escape.
You said that in Jinyiwei's prison, can I still expect these people to keep their mouths shut for me?"
As Lu Jing sighed, she heard Lu Jing say again: "Sir, I have been in charge of the Ministry of Industry these years, and tens of millions of money have flowed through my hands. How many benefits have I gained from it? Now think about it.
I don’t even know how to calculate it, but do you think that once Li Huan finds out and reports it to the emperor, will the emperor confiscate my Lu family and exterminate it?”
Lu Kui's expression was changing. As Lu Jing's confidant, it can be said that Lu Jing's corruption of ink was no longer as clear as Lu Kui's. Lu Jing could not remember, but Lu Kui roughly remembered that Lu Jing's earnings from his ink corruption over the years were probably not less than a few hundred dollars.
A huge amount of ten thousand taels.
Part of the money obtained from greedy money was used to buy high-quality farmland and shops in Lu Jing's hometown, and part of it was purchased in several villas in the capital. The bulk of it was packed into boxes and hidden in the cellar.
Thinking that the Lu family was very likely to face a disaster, Lu Kui and the Lu family would naturally suffer both prosperity and loss. Now he finally understood why Lu Jing had reacted so violently just now.
Let alone Lu Jing, if it were him, he would probably be like Lu Jing.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Kui looked at Lu Jing and said, "Master, is there no other way to survive?"
Lu Jing smiled miserably, shook her head and said, "There is no way to survive. When Li Huan focused on the corruption case, all of us involved in it had no way to survive."
As she spoke, Lu Jing laughed like crazy and said: "Everyone is going to die. They are all going to die. Li Huan's butcher's knife will fall again, and this time only more people will die."
Lu Kui's expression changed, and suddenly a strange color flashed in his eyes. He looked up at Lu Jing and said, "What do you mean, master, that there are so many officials targeted by Li Huan this time?"
Lu Jing sneered and said: "Not to mention other things, I only know that the number of officials, big and small, who are involved in the logistics supply of the army is probably no less than dozens. These are the names and surnames that I know.
officials, as for how many others there are, even I don’t know. Do you think there are many people involved in the case?"
When saying this, Lu Jing glanced at Lu Kui and said: "If you want to say that the law does not blame the public, don't say it. Li Huan has never said that the law does not blame the public."
Lu Kui smiled bitterly and said: "How come I don't know that Li Huan kills people so much that he won't care about it at all, but I have a plan that may give me a chance to survive."
Lu Jing stiffened slightly, then stared at Lu Kui and said, "What did you say? Do you have a way for me to survive this disaster?"
Lu Kui nodded slightly and whispered something in Lu Jing's ear.
After listening to Lu Kui's words, Lu Jing's face clearly showed a look of horror. It was obvious that the idea Lu Kui gave him was completely beyond Lu Jing's expectations.
Seeing Lu Jing's reaction in his eyes, Lu Kui said: "Master, since it's either you or him who dies, then why should I worry so much? Anyway, the worst result is just that the Lu family will confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, even if it's the master.
Even if you don’t do anything, the Lu family will not be able to escape. In that case, why not give it a try?"
Lu Jing was also decisive, with a hint of madness flashing deep in her eyes.
Staring at Lu Kui, he said: "You have always done things flawlessly. There has never been any mistakes in the things I have asked you to do over the years. So I will leave this matter to you this time. I hope you will not disappoint me."
Lu Kui said in a deep voice: "Master, just don't worry!"
Not to mention the reactions of the officials after they went back to the palace, it is said that after the court meeting dispersed, Li Huan did not leave the palace with the officials. Instead, he was left in the palace by the emperor to talk.
At this time, in the imperial study room, Zhu Houzhao was sitting opposite Li Huan, while Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, Ma Yongcheng and others were standing aside.
Li Huan's steady and powerful voice flowed from the study, which was occasionally mixed with Zhu Houzhao's exclamations and applause.
If anyone heard it, they would find that Li Huan was telling the emperor about the major events that had happened since he was ordered to lead his troops out of the capital.
In Li Huan's narration, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be immersed in the scene. He wished he could be like Li Huan and transform into a general to lead an army to fight against the Tatars.
When Li Huan's words fell, Zhu Houzhao still had some lingering expression on his face and said: "What a pity. As Li Qing said, if it weren't for the lack of gunpowder supply caused by the greed of the logistics staff, Dayan might not have a chance to escape this time.
Go back to the grassland."
Regarding Zhu Houzhao's emotion, Li Huan was noncommittal. To be honest, Li Huan really didn't dare to say that he could keep Dayan Khan.
After all, as long as Dayan Khan is not stupid, he will definitely choose to protect himself in the end. At that time, unless Dayan Khan is too stupid to escape, it will not be that easy to keep him.
However, in the face of the emperor's emotion, Li Huan did not explain these. Even in Li Huan's story, Li Huan deliberately exaggerated the power of firearms to subconsciously guide Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, to attach great importance to firearms.
Didn't this work? Zhu Houzhao was obviously affected to a certain extent, and subconsciously attributed Dayan Khan's escape to the lack of gunpowder supply, which greatly reduced the power of the firearm.
Li Huan listened to Zhu Houzhao's emotion, smiled slightly and said: "Since we can defeat the Tatars once, we can defeat them a second time, a third time, and one day your majesty can even command us like Emperor Taizong Wen tomorrow."
The troops went deep into Mobei to pursue the Tartars."
Zhu Houzhao was definitely one of the few Ming emperors who practiced martial arts. After hearing Li Huan's bewildering words, he stood up suddenly, looked at Li Huan with bright eyes and said tremblingly: "Li Qing, what do you think I am?"
Can he command a large army like Emperor Taizong Wen, riding horses across the desert?"
Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, Liu Jin, Ma Yongcheng and others on the side all changed their expressions after hearing this, and looked at Li Huan who was bewitching the emperor with strange expressions.
They were really frightened by Li Huan's operation. Li Huan was actually trying to seduce the emperor's imperial commander to go on a personal expedition. Isn't Li Huan afraid of repeating the same thing as the great eunuch Wang Zhen did in the past when he deceived the emperor's imperial commander to go on his own expedition?
Besides, it's not that simple for the emperor to go on a personal expedition. Not to mention other things, I'm afraid even the cabinet and officials won't be able to pass it. If what Li Huan said to bewitch the emperor spreads out today, I'm afraid he will be ordered to do it immediately.
It caused all the officials to be excited, and the memorial to impeach Li Huan might be able to drown Li Huan.
Li Huan chuckled under Zhu Houzhao's eager eyes and said, "Why not?"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes were full of excitement, but soon Zhu Houzhao shook his head with a wry smile and said: "This matter is not that easy, but I am still very happy when Li Qing said this."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao looked solemn and looked at Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and Liu Jin, who were standing aside with their eyebrows lowered and their heads drooped as if their souls were flying into the sky.
If the person who is here to stop the spread of his message spreads to other places, I will not forgive him lightly."
Under Zhu Houzhao's eyes full of murderous intent, Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, Liu Jin and others trembled all over, lying on the ground one by one and saying tremblingly: "I don't dare to reveal a single word even if I die.
"
These people had served Zhu Houzhao for many years, so they could naturally hear the murderous intention in Zhu Houzhao's words. They were sure that if what happened today was really leaked, the kind-hearted emperor in front of them would definitely kill someone.
But thinking about what Li Huan said to bewitch the emperor just now, even they were frightened for a while. If this was really leaked, who knows what would happen.
No matter what kind of turmoil arises, it would be strange if the civil and military officials in the dynasty didn't go crazy.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at a few people indifferently and said: "You are all close to me, and I also believe that you know the stakes."
While speaking, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "Okay, everyone, let's get up."
【Well, please give me a monthly pass.】
