Zhang Lun and Xu Guangzha also looked at Li Huan and said in support: "What the champion, Duke Cheng Guo said is true. We should kill these lawless and rebellious people without mercy."
At this time, Zhu Houzhao also turned his attention to Li Huan, and Zhu Houzhao's expression and reaction in the eyes of Yang Tinghe, Wang Yangming and others naturally made several people feel shocked.
Judging from the emperor's attitude, it was obvious that he valued Li Huan's opinions.
If Li Huan had spoken like Zhu Fu, Zhang Lun and others and advised the emperor to mobilize troops from the capital to enter the capital and blockade the capital, I am afraid that the capital would be in chaos by then.
One can even imagine how many innocent people will be implicated by then.
After all, Zhu Fu has already said that those hidden assassin accomplices or remnants whose identities are unknown should be killed without mercy.
If we really let go of this point, there will definitely be a lot of killings and the capital will be stained with blood.
The most important thing is that once this precedent is established, it is absolutely impossible for the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp and even the noble generals who have seen blood in places like the capital to be suppressed or even restrained by them as before.
It took their civil servant group hundreds of years, and I don’t know how much thought and means they spent during that period, to suppress the noble group that had been able to compete with the civil service group since the founding of the country. How could they be willing to do it again?
I saw the day when the Xungui Group would rise.
In the view of Yang Tinghe and others, Li Huan was assassinated before, and it would be a lie to say that he was angry at all. In addition, Li Huan had always given them the impression that he was a bloodthirsty and murderous person. So Zhu Fu and Zhang Lun
Their proposal must be in line with Li Huan's thoughts.
Once Li Huan opened his mouth to persuade the emperor, it was very likely that the emperor would nod in agreement.
Maybe two consecutive assassinations today may kick off the re-emergence of the Xungui Group.
Thinking of this, even Yang Tinghe, who had been worried before, could not wait for Li Huan to speak. He was afraid that once Li Huan spoke, he would never have the chance to remonstrate with the emperor.
So Yang Tinghe finally couldn't help but step out from the ranks of several important civil servants and bow to the emperor. Then he said to the emperor with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, Duke Ying, the words of Duke Cheng must not be accepted.
"
Not only Yang Tinghe, but also several other important ministers also bowed to the emperor. Judging from their attitude, they clearly expressed their opposition to Zhang Lun and Zhu Fu's suggestions.
When Yang Tinghe and others spoke, Zhu Fudang raised his eyebrows, jumped out, pointed at Yang Tinghe and others, and asked loudly: "Yang Tinghe, do you know what you are talking about? Do you mean you want to
What is your intention in shielding your assassin comrades?"
It was a rare opportunity to yell at Yang Tinghe and others, so naturally Zhu Fu and others would not let go of such a good opportunity.
You must know that for decades, they have never had much say in the face of the civil servant group, and they have been suppressed like decorations in the court.
With such a good opportunity, not only did Zhu Fu curse at Yang Tinghe and others, Zhang Lun and Xu Guangzha also stepped forward without hesitation to question Yang Tinghe and others.
For a moment, if I didn't know what was going on, just looking at the current situation, I would think that Yang Ting and others had committed some unforgivable and heinous crime.
Such a noisy scene was seen in Zhu Houzhao's eyes. Zhu Houzhao looked at Yang Tinghe and others who were just kneeling there and did not move even if they were scolded by Zhu Fu and others. A smile flashed deep in his eyes.
But soon Zhu Houzhao coughed slightly and winked at Qiu Ju and Gao Feng.
After receiving the emperor's signal, Qiu Ju immediately said in a sharp voice: "Masters, please don't disobey me and disturb the holy frame." Fools all knew that Qiu Ju spoke on behalf of the emperor when he spoke at this time.
Meaning, so Zhu Fu, Zhang Lun and others who had just yelled at Yang Ting and others immediately shut up.
However, Zhang Lun looked at Li Huan and said: "Champion Hou, please tell me, what are our suggestions?"
One after another, the gazes
However, all of them fell on Li Huan, and under the gaze of several people, Li Huan slowly opened his mouth, a stern look flashed in his eyes, as if he had made some decision, and he immediately stepped forward and rushed forward.
The emperor bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to cordon off the capital, mobilize the troops and horses from the capital, and recruit the assassins' comrades."
Wang Yangming, who had never spoken and had not participated in the actions of Yang Ting and the others, couldn't help but look at Li Huan in surprise when he heard this. He couldn't help but stepped forward and said to Li Huan: "You can't do it, Champion Marquis!"
"
Yang Tinghe and others stared at Li Huan with complicated expressions. They seemed not to find it strange that Li Huan agreed with Zhang Lun's proposal. However, when they saw Wang Yangming opening his mouth to admonish Li Huan, they looked quite surprised.
Wang Yangming glanced at it.
Li Huan also glanced at Wang Yangming, with a smile on his face and shook his head slightly at Wang Yangming: "Li knows clearly what Mr. Wang Ge is worried about, but Mr. Wang Ge can rest assured. What Mr. Ge is worried about is
will not happen."
As he spoke, Li Huan looked solemnly and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I will send out the Jinyi Guards together with the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp. With the Jinyi Guards on the side to monitor, even if there are soldiers causing trouble, it can be reduced to the extreme.
"
"His Majesty!"
Yang Ting and the others looked at each other, and immediately felt anxious when they saw the emperor's hesitant look.
Perhaps Wang Yangming's advice to Li Huan was really worried that when the army entered the city and marched across the city, soldiers would harm the people in the city. However, Yang Ting and others were not worried about whether those soldiers would harm the people, but they were worried that if such a precedent was set
, allowing noble military generals to see the opportunity to rise, then the situation of using civil society to control military affairs will probably collapse in the future.
Therefore, Yang Ting and others couldn't help but speak eagerly, trying to win back the emperor's heart.
It's a pity that as soon as Yang Ting and the others finished speaking, they heard the emperor loudly say: "I have approved Li Qing's request!"
Hearing what the emperor said, Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu, Xu Guangzha and others suddenly felt refreshed. They all bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Li Huan said with a solemn expression: "I will live up to your Majesty's expectations!"
At this moment, Yang Tinghe and others were making a final struggle and said: "Your Majesty, how can the people deserve it? How can the people deserve it?"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he frowned, stood up suddenly, waved his long sleeves and said: "I will order Dongchang to join the Jinyiwei to monitor the soldiers in the Beijing camp, restrain the behavior of the soldiers in the Beijing camp, and reduce the disturbance to the people as much as possible.
You gentlemen, please rest assured."
At this moment, Li Huan looked down at Yang Tinghe and other officials who were kneeling on the ground with a half-smile, and said: "You are so opposed to the whole city of Dasuo, are you worried that you will catch the remnants of the assassins, and then implicate all your lords?"
The censor of Zuodu immediately turned to Li Huan and said angrily: "Li Huan, you are just blaming others. We are loyal to His Majesty, how can we get involved with those assassins?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry glanced at Li Huan and said calmly: "We just hope that the people in the capital will not be disturbed by the rebels. If the champion marquis slaps us like this, is he planning to seize the opportunity to seize the whole city and set up a trap?"
I am a loyal minister?"
Li Huan looked at everyone with disdain and said, "If Li wants to target you, does he still need to trap you?"
Hearing what Li Huan said, even a fool could hear the strong sarcasm. Someone couldn't help but said: "Li Huan, who are you? If you don't tell secret words, what if you wait for me?"
If you have any opinions, just say so."
After taking one look at the man, Li Huan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Who do I think he is? It turns out to be Mr. Duan Mingduan, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue!"
Duan Ming stroked his beard, glanced at Li Huan lightly and said, "Yes, it is Duan. Duan asked himself whether he was sitting upright and walking straight. I wonder if the champion has any advice?"
Duan Ming was famously incorruptible in the court, and even among the officials in the capital, his reputation for incorruptibility was known to everyone.
His official clothes are patched, which is definitely an unusual existence among hundreds of officials. In addition, his family actually lives in a house with only two entrances, and the house is even more...
There is only one old servant, and even the servant girl
nothing.
Considering his official position as the right minister of household affairs, it is absolutely unbelievable that he is so clean and honest.
Upon seeing this, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry on the side looked at Li Huan with a mocking look on his face and said: "Didn't the Champion Marquis have any objections to us? Duan Shilang also said so. Do you have any evidence or evidence against Duan Shilang?"
Zhang Lun, who was standing next to Li Huan, couldn't help but frown when he saw this situation.
Looking at Li Huan, and then at Duan Ming, who looked confident and fearless, even Zhang Lun was a little worried for Li Huan.
Although Zhang Lun knew that few officials above the court were clean, he had to admit that Duan Ming was truly incorruptible.
At least as far as he knew, Duan Ming had never committed any corruption or abuse of law, and his family's life was not even as good as that of a local official.
You must know that Duan Ming is the right minister in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. He is the third-in-command besides the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He has great authority. If he is really greedy, the amount of money he receives from him every year is only a little bit.
A little bit of greed is enough for him to live a luxurious life.
As for other officials, Zhang Lun could even tell some negative news, but for Duan Ming in front of him, Zhang Lun really didn't know how to evaluate him.
Even Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting there, couldn't help but look at Duan Ming and said: "Duan Qing's family, the champion has no other intentions."
Duan Ming saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have no other intention. I just want to ask the champion, does he know how many people in the capital have suffered because of his wrong thoughts?"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
Duan Ming's words were obviously directed at Li Huan, but he was also insinuating that the emperor did not care about the people. It would be strange if Zhu Houzhao could be happy.
But at this moment, Li Huan glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of Industry with a half-smile and said, "Master Han, didn't you just ask Li if he had any evidence of the crime against Master Duan?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry glanced at Li Huan and nodded: "Yes, I don't believe you can accuse Mr. Duan of any crime."
At this moment, Li Huan turned his attention to Duan Ming and said, "Shilang Duan, are you sure you want Li to reveal your true face in front of His Majesty and all the adults?"
When Li Huan said this, his expression was calm and his eyes were indifferent, which inexplicably gave people a convincing feeling.
When Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu, Xu Guangzha and even Wang Yangming heard this, their eyes lit up and they immediately glanced at Duan Ming. Could it be that Duan Ming, a well-known upright official, was fake.
If they said this, they really couldn't believe it. The impression of Duan Ming's integrity was so profound that they instinctively couldn't believe it if Duan Ming was a corrupt official.
Duan Ming was slightly stunned when he heard the words, a look of surprise and panic flashed deep in his eyes, but then he regained his composure and just looked at Li Huan and said: "Duan has a clear conscience in his life. Since he entered the officialdom, he has never
I have never done anything greedy."
Li Huan nodded, then shook his head and looked at Duan Mingdao: "Sir Duan did not do anything corrupt, but what you did was more harmful to the country and the people than being greedy."
When Duan Ming heard this, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Li Huan, you can't accuse someone out of thin air. Your Majesty, if you don't give Duan an explanation, Duan will risk his life today to ask for your Majesty to make the decision for Duan."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan and said, "Why did Li Qing say this?"
Li Huan chuckled and said, "In the third year of Zhengde, that is, last year, there was a severe drought in Guang'an Prefecture, and the people had no harvest. The imperial court discussed allocating money and food to help the victims, but Lord Duan will personally handle the allocation of money and food?"
All eyes were directed at Duan Ming and Li Huan.
Since Li Huan dared to mention this matter in front of so many people, it means that Li Huan was definitely not innocent, and he might have caught something against Duan Ming.
Could it be that Duan Ming's incorruptibility was just an illusion they saw?
Duan Ming was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he reacted and suppressed the turmoil in his heart. He first shouted at the emperor.
Then he said to the crowd with a clear conscience: "Yes, this matter was handled by me personally, and I still remember that in order to relieve the hundreds of thousands of victims in Guang'an Prefecture, it was through my hands that I
, a total of 83,500 dan of grain was allocated. It can be said that it was with this grain that hundreds of thousands of victims of the disaster in Guang'an Prefecture were able to survive. Although I dare not claim credit for it, what crime is there?"
Zhang Lun looked at Duan Ming's clear conscience from the side and said to Li Huan: "Champion Lord, could it be that Duan Ming had his hands on it and misappropriated the food for disaster relief?"
Everyone had the same idea as Zhang Lun, and looked at Li Huan with confusion, but Li Huan shook his head at Zhang Lun, and now everyone became even more confused.
