Zhu Houzhao just looked at Li Huan with a smile on his face, but said nothing to Zhang Yongzhi, leaving people wondering what his intentions were.
But regardless of whether Zhu Houzhao really planned to let Li Huan take over the Jinyiwei, this reward can definitely be regarded as a heavy reward.
Li Huan quickly thanked Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, Li Huan, thank you!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan and said with a smile: "Because my father didn't pay much attention to the Jinyiwei, so that the bodyguards and soldiers only had an empty frame. When I occasionally travel, most of them are temporarily dispatched by Dongchang and Jinyiwei to protect me. This time I
I’ve ordered you to lead the bodyguards and army, do you know how to do it?”
Li Huan solemnly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely form an elite team for your Majesty to protect your safety."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "With Aiqing by your side, I feel very relieved."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao said to Zhang Yong: "Big companion, later you will tell Wang Yue, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, about my decree and ask him to issue an imperial edict to Jin Yiwei Shi Wenyi."
Zhang Yong nodded and said: "Old slave, I have written it down."
While he was talking, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps. In the palace, there were not many people who dared to walk so fast, especially Zhu Houzhao was still here. Several people couldn't help but look up.
When they saw the person coming, Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong's eyes lit up and they subconsciously looked towards Li Huan.
The visitor was none other than Liu Jin, and Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong and the others knew about the conflict between Li Huan and Liu Jin, so they were very curious about what Liu Jin would look like when he saw Li Huan.
In the past few days, Liu Jin had focused all his energy on investigating the murderer behind his assassination. Now that he finally had a clue, he hurriedly came to see Zhu Houzhao.
After learning from the young eunuch that Zhu Houzhao was in the imperial garden, Liu Jin came in a hurry. However, when he saw Li Huan, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then he reacted.
Zhu Houzhao was preparing to summon Li Huan, and Liu Jin actually knew about the reward to Li Huan, but Liu Jin didn't know the specific time. After all, he couldn't know Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.
It's just that Liu Jin was not ready enough for Zhu Houzhao to summon Li Huan so quickly, and looking at this posture, it was obvious that Zhu Houzhao valued Li Huan more than he imagined.
Liu Jin, the surprised look on his face disappeared, and he stepped forward with a smile. He first saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Old slave, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and waved his hand and said: "My companion came just in time. Today I specially hosted a banquet for Li Huan. You and Li Huan are strangers, so you don't need me to introduce you."
Suddenly, the eyes of Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong and others were on Li Huan and Liu Jin, watching with interest.
Li Huan just glanced at Liu Jin lightly. It was strange that Li Huan had a good impression of Liu Jin who wanted to adopt him as his son, so he slightly arched his hand towards Liu Jin as a greeting.
Liu Jin, on the other hand, chuckled and said, "What your Majesty is saying is that the old slave saw Li Huan's young brother, Li Huan, who was a talented young man. He couldn't help but fall in love with the talent. He couldn't speak clearly, and then there was a misunderstanding. Please ask me."
Please forgive me, brother."
The expressions of Gu Dayong and others were calm, but there was a real look in their eyes. One thing in front of others and another behind his back. This is Liu Jin's true face. In front of Zhu Houzhao, no matter what Liu Jin thinks in his heart, he will definitely not behave.
Showed hostility towards Li Huan.
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "I have ordered Li Huan to lead the bodyguard army. From now on, Li Chang will be walking in the palace. There will be many opportunities for you to meet. It's a small misunderstanding. Just let it go."
Li Huan and Liu Jin looked at each other, and they both nodded and said, "That's what your Majesty said."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin and saw a stack of files in his hand and couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he asked, "What is that in Daban's hand?"
Liu Jin couldn't care about Li Huan at this moment. Hearing this, he immediately turned to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, I have been urging Dongchang to torture those assassins for the past few days. Until today, I finally got the news."
Zhu Houzhao looked serious and said: "Who is it that is so bold?"
Liu Jin presented the dossier to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look. This is what the assassins confessed to each other."
Zhu Houzhao took the file, lowered his head to look through it, and his face gradually became ugly. Suddenly, he saw Zhu Houzhao slap his hand on the table, and the original dishes were rattled, and he heard Zhu Houzhao's anger.
He said: "Okay, Wang Yue is so brave. I thought that he had served my father all his life, and after he ascended the throne, I let him continue to be the director of rites. Is this how he repays me?"
What Zhu Houzhao didn't expect was that the person who arranged for the assassin to kill Liu Jin would be Wang Yue.
Wang Yue was highly relied upon by Emperor Hongzhi and had always been in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. His influence in the palace was by no means comparable to that of Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and others who had just gained favor but had not yet gained any real power.
With a pop, Liu Jin knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me. Since Your Majesty came to the throne, I have always been diligent and conscientious. I don't know what hindered the prince."
His eyes actually insisted on killing the old slave."
As he spoke, Liu Jin couldn't help but cry: "This time, the old slave is blessed with great blessings. With the blessing of His Majesty's true dragon spirit, he managed to escape by chance, but..."
Li Huan watched Liu Jin's performance there with great interest. To be honest, Li Huan really didn't have much impression of Wang Yue, but now it seems that Wang Yue turned out to be the chief ceremonial supervisor during the period of Emperor Hongzhi. This can definitely be regarded as
It is one of the best in the world.
For Wang Yue to choose assassination as an unflattering method to deal with Liu Jin, it was obvious that Liu Jin's small actions in private had already made Wang Yue anxious and made Wang Yue feel a great threat. Otherwise, why would he have taken the risk to kill Liu Jin.
"Wang Yue is finished, Liu Jin is afraid that he will soar into the sky from now on!"
Noticing the determination flashing in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, Li Huan sighed in his heart.
As expected, Zhu Houzhao said to Liu Jin: "It is my decree to remove Wang Yuesi from the post of Chief Supervisor of Rites, and to send him to imperial prison to await his fate."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao looked at the pitiful Liu Jin who was lying on the ground and couldn't help but said: "Come on, please get up. I will appoint you as the eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and be in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies."
As soon as Zhu Houzhao said these words, Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong and others were all stunned. As eunuchs, none of them thought about one day being able to move into the Chief Eunuch and become the first of many eunuchs in the palace.
But what they didn't expect was that Wang Yue fell without any warning. That was fine. If Wang Yue hadn't fallen, they wouldn't have even had a chance.
However, before they could react to the news that Wang Yue sent people to assassinate Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao had actually appointed Liu Jin as the eunuch Bingbi and took charge of the department.
Almost subconsciously, Gu Dayong, who had the fiercest competition with Liu Jin, said: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Houzhao raised his head and glanced at Gu Dayong. Gu Dayong was startled by Zhu Houzhao's calm eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He immediately woke up and understood that the situation was over. No matter what he said, he could not change Zhu Houzhao's mind.
.
After thinking about this, Gu Dayong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I want to say that your Majesty appoints Mr. Liu to be the Supervisor of Ceremonies. That is perfect."
