As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao stood up, waved his hands and said, "Send me back to the palace. As for how to reward Li Huan, I will think it through."
Liu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was a little wary and wary of Li Huan. You have to know what kind of relationship he had with Zhu Houzhao. They had been together for more than ten years, and they had a deep relationship. However, just now
Just because he wanted to slander Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao almost became angry because of it.
Planning in her mind that after this wave of events passed, she would take care of Li Huan. Liu Jin calmly said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, please come with me."
Zhu Houzhao once again put on the clothes of a young eunuch and returned to the palace with Liu Jin without anyone noticing. It was already evening.
When Zhu Houzhao changed his clothes and appeared in the imperial study room, the little eunuch guarding the door seemed to have seen a savior. He knelt down with a thud and trembled: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at the open door and couldn't help being startled. A trace of panic flashed across his face. He took a deep breath and strode towards the imperial study room.
Sure enough, just as Zhu Houzhao expected, when he walked into the imperial study, he saw two figures kneeling there. It was not Xie Qian, the cabinet minister, and who was Liu Jian.
The two pavilion masters looked at Zhu Houzhao walking into the imperial study with a straight face, and then said to Zhu Houzhao: "I pay my respects to your majesty."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hands with some guilt and said: "Two pavilion elders, get up quickly. It's already this hour. If Aiqing doesn't go home to rest, why are you here in the imperial study? Is there something important that I can't handle?"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao looking to his left, Xie Qian took a deep breath and said to Zhu Houzhao: "I wonder where your Majesty went this afternoon?"
Zhu Houzhao coughed and said: "I...well, I was a little tired after reviewing the memorials in the afternoon, so I went back to the palace to rest for a while..."
Before Zhu Houzhao could finish his words, Xie Qian said with a heartbroken expression: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what the late emperor told you when he was dying? I hope you can be diligent in political affairs, get close to virtuous ministers, and stay away from people like Liu Jin."
Ordinary villain..."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but frowned, and endured the unhappiness in his heart and said: "I dare not forget your father's instructions for a moment. It's getting late. Do you two dear friends have anything else to do?"
Liu Jian took a step forward, looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Today it must be Liu Jin and Gu Dayong who are using them to deceive Your Majesty into getting involved in political affairs. Such treacherous and sycophantic people, I sincerely request Your Majesty to kill Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and their like to straighten the court."
…”
Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and said: "The two Qing family members keep saying that Liu Daban and Gu Daban are traitors. I wonder what heinous crimes they can commit. Do they have to be put to death?"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao returning to protect Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and others, Liu Jian couldn't help but said angrily: "Your Majesty, eunuchs have been causing trouble to the court since ancient times, such as the Han Ling Emperor..."
"That's enough. Does Liu Aiqing mean that I, just like the Han Ling Emperor, want to destroy the Ming Dynasty..."
Liu Jian was stunned and said subconsciously: "I...I didn't mean that..."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "I don't want to hear it. If you two have nothing else to do, please leave first."
Liu Jian wanted to say something else, but at this moment Xie Qian gently tugged at the corner of Liu Jian's clothes, shook his head at Liu Jian, then cupped his hands towards Zhu Houzhao and said, "I'm leaving!"
When Liu Jian and Xie Qian left, Zhu Houzhao finally couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, and suddenly swept the pile of memorials on the desk into the tunnel: "I'm so angry, I'm no longer a child, this can't be done.
, that’s not allowed, you don’t even have any freedom, how can you say that I favor Liu Daban, Gu Daban and the others..."
Liu Jin, who came over with a cup of tea at this moment, looked at Zhu Houzhao, who had an ugly face, and then looked at the memorials scattered on the ground and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the two pavilion elders were deceived and thought that the old slave would lead His Majesty to evil.
He has been targeting me and others for the sake of old slaves and other despicable people. His Majesty will not be well if he is so angry."
But when Xie Qian came, Liu Jian and Liu Jian left the imperial study. Liu Jian couldn't help but said to Xie Qian: "Yu Qiao, why did you stop me from persuading His Majesty just now?"
Xie Qian sighed softly and said: "Brother Xixian, don't you know that haste makes waste? Your Majesty favors Liu Jin and other eunuchs. The more we press, the more your Majesty resists. Besides, isn't there Wang Yue? He is
Gu Dayong and others are extremely afraid of Liu Jin, so let’s wait and see if Wang Yue can get rid of Liu Jin and others."
Liu Jian said with a bit of disdain: "Huh, although Wang Yue is in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, His Majesty is not happy with him. I hope he will get rid of Liu Jin and others..."
But it was said that Li Huan led Chen Yao and others back to Jinyiwei, and Li Huan immediately went to see Qianhu Chen Ke.
When Chen Ke saw Li Huan, he said with a kind of friendly smile on his face: "I heard that your boy is very powerful today. You dare to hit even Eunuch Liu Jin, who is most trusted by His Majesty."
As a member of Qianhu Jinyiwei, Li Huan would have felt strange if Chen Ke didn't know what happened today, but what really stunned Li Huan was the Liu Jin mentioned in Chen Ke's words.
"Liu Jin? Liu Jin, one of the Eight Tigers?"
Chen Ke couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "It seems that you have also heard the rumors about several father-in-laws that have been leaked recently. Since you know that Eunuch Liu is one of the Eight Tigers and is favored by the emperor, aren't you afraid that Liu Jin will retaliate against you?
?”
How could he not know Liu Jin's name? At the height of his power, he was known as the emperor. Even if we look at the nearly three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the only one who can rival him is Wei Zhongxian, who is nine thousand years old.
To be honest, Li Huan really didn't expect that the person who wanted to adopt him as his son today but was beaten up by him would be Liu Jin, who would dominate the world in the future.
Seeing Li Huan's expression changing, Chen Ke smiled and said, "Why, do you regret it a little?"
Li Huan took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "Sir, you are joking. How can I, a noble man, recognize a eunuch as my father? Even if it were to happen again, I would make the same choice."
Chen Ke nodded slightly, took a deep look at Li Huan and said, "Although you have offended this Eunuch Liu, you don't need to worry too much. If I am not wrong, the noble young master you saved today will
, it is very likely that today..."
As he spoke, Chen Ke cupped his hands in the direction of the Forbidden City and said with a bit of a smile on his face: "There is no greater merit than rescuing the driver. With this added credit, even if Liu Jin wants to take revenge on you, he has to consider His Majesty's attitude.
.”
Looking at Chen Ke's expression, the obvious closeness made Li Huan understand immediately, and he said why Chen Ke was so kind to him even though he knew that he had offended the emperor's favored eunuch, and his feelings were saved by Chen Ke's bet.
It's today.
Now think about it, the young master he rescued looked rich and noble, and the horse he rode was even more impressive. The emotional man was not a prince at all, but the emperor of the day, Zhu Houzhao.
Chen Kexing came to Li Huan, patted Li Huan's shoulder with his big hand and said: "This is just my guess. Whether it is true or not, we will know soon. Okay, it's getting late, it's time to let go
It's time to go to work, let's go together..."
Li Huan quickly ducked out of the side hall, half a step behind Chen Ke. Before he had gone far, he saw Ma Ming coming over.
Seeing Li Huan and Chen Ke, Ma Ming quickly stepped forward and saluted: "I have met these two adults."
Li Huan said with some curiosity: "Ma Ming, can you send that young master to your home?"
Chen Ke also stopped at this moment and looked at Ma Ming with some expectation.
