Gu Dayong heard the words and said quickly: "Your Majesty, wait for me to go and check it out!"
In the palace, some young eunuchs didn't dare to make such a noise even if they were brave enough. Obviously something must have happened in front of them.
Soon Gu Dayong trotted back, with a somewhat strange look on his face and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I asked you clearly, Brother Liu's people are there to take people!"
Needless to say, the Brother Liu mentioned by Gu Dayong must be Liu Jin. When Zhu Houzhao heard what Gu Dayong said, he couldn't help showing a bit of astonishment and said: "Take someone? Who should you take?"
Gu Dayong coughed slightly and said: "Has Your Majesty forgotten that Wang Yue colluded with thieves to assassinate Brother Liu? Now Brother Liu is cleaning up the people in the palace who are involved with Wang Yue. I heard that these days, only
They were eunuchs who were implicated and beaten to death, and there were hundreds of maids!"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but frowned when he heard this: "There are hundreds of people?"
Li Huan also frowned. He is not a fool. Even if he wants to clean up Wang Yue's people, it is impossible to affect so many people. Obviously Liu Jin is taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and expand his own power. He doesn't know how many people will be affected.
Innocent people.
After glancing at Gu Dayong, Li Huan felt something was wrong when he heard Gu Dayong speak. His tone was clearly about giving Liu Jin eye drops in front of Zhu Houzhao.
It's right to think about it. They are all old ministers of the East Palace who serve Zhu Houzhao. How come he, Liu Jin, can jump up and take charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies and overwhelm them all.
Moreover, the expansion of Liu Jin's power in the palace meant that their power was suppressed. It would be strange if Gu Dayong and others were not anxious.
Suddenly, Li Huan glanced at Zhang Yong, the eunuch who was leading the way. At this time, Zhang Yong stood with his head bowed, looking calm, but in Li Huan's eyes, it was not the same thing.
If he remembered correctly, he and Zhu Houzhao were walking and chatting, seemingly strolling casually, but it was Zhang Yong who really led the way.
The palace is so big, it's almost a mile from the Royal Garden to here, and there are even several turns in the middle. Unless they were deliberately guided, they would never have come here just by walking casually.
Looking at Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong, Qiu Ju, Fei Bin and others, Li Huan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seems that as Liu Jin soared into the sky, Gu Dayong and others felt the pressure and had tacitly united to help Liu Jin.
Looking for trouble.
They say there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. This is true.
Historically, the Eight Tigers were the same people who everyone wanted to fight, and they were all hated by civil and military officials with gnashing teeth. Ordinarily Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong and others should be unanimous in dealing with the outside world, but the fight between a few people was
Not bad at all, even Liu Jin, who had the most power in the world in the end, was stabbed to death by Zhang Yong in the back.
The sound of pleading and crying in the distance could be heard faintly, and everyone was silent. Zhu Houzhao was a kind-hearted man. Now that he knew that hundreds of people had been implicated, he couldn't bear it.
Seemingly noticing the unbearable look on Zhu Houzhao's face, Qiu Ju sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty, Brother Liu is right to eliminate Wang Yue's cronies. After all, His Majesty's safety is the most important, but it is a bit embarrassing to affect so many innocent people.
pass……"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Ma Yongcheng and said: "Daban, you are in charge of Dongchang. You should know what is going on. Tell me."
Ma Yongcheng took a deep breath, with a look of hesitation on his face, and said slowly: "Back to Your Majesty, Brother Liu is indeed a little anxious this time. As far as I know, some eunuchs who have just been assigned to serve Wang Yue have only been serving Wang Yue for a few days.
, all the palace maids were taken away..."
At this moment, a group of people came in a hurry. The leader was none other than Eunuch Bingbi, who had been promoted to Director of Ceremonies. Liu Jin, who was proud of the spring breeze, was followed by a group of young eunuchs and palace maids who were being held in custody. They were crying. It was obvious that they had just
The commotion was caused by these people.
Liu Jin obviously did not expect that the emperor would appear here, so he hurriedly came forward to pay homage and said: "I am paying homage to your majesty. I didn't know that your majesty was here, but I actually disturbed your majesty. I am guilty!"
Zhu Houzhao ignored Liu Jin who was prostrate to the ground, but his eyes fell on the little eunuchs and maids who looked like they were only in their teens. Needless to say, these people should have recently entered the palace and been assigned, but they never expected to encounter them.
An unforeseen disaster.
The maids and eunuchs were all frightened after they were captured. They were filled with despair. They thought they would die, but they never expected that they would bump into the emperor and his entourage.
I don't know which eunuch or maid prostrated to the ground first, and then a dozen or twenty eunuchs and maids cried and begged: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, the slaves and the like are not Wang Yue's accomplices at all, they are wronged..."
Liu Jin looked ugly. Although he was kneeling on the ground, he turned around and shouted sharply: "Shut up, everyone!"
Obviously, these eunuchs and maids were as afraid of Liu Jin as snakes and scorpions. When Liu Jin scolded them, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they did not dare to speak again.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene. He glanced at Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong and others who had lowered their eyebrows and lowered their heads. Finally, they looked at Li Huan and said, "Aiqing, tell me how I should deal with these people."
Immediately, all the maids and eunuchs all followed Zhu Houzhao's gaze and looked at Li Huan, their eyes full of earnest pleading.
Obviously, these palace maids and eunuchs were not fools, and they immediately realized that their glimmer of hope for survival might lie with the young man beside the emperor.
Li Huan knew that these palace maids and eunuchs were probably innocent and implicated. How could Liu Jin, Wang Yue's true confidant, be left here until now.
Let him watch so many living lives disappear like this. If it were the enemy, then it would be fine. Even if there were thousands, Li Huan would not blink an eye. But if it were so many innocent people, Li Huan asked himself what he would do
Less than.
Liu Jin raised his head and looked at Li Huan. There was no wave in his eyes, but Li Huan could clearly feel Liu Jin's silent threat.
Taking a deep breath, Li Huan bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please forgive Li Huan for being bold. Please forgive these people!"
When Li Huan finished speaking, the eyes of the eunuchs and palace maids suddenly lit up. They were all extremely grateful. They looked at Li Huan with tears in their eyes. Some even kowtowed to Li Huan with tears streaming down their faces, their foreheads bleeding without realizing it.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, thank you sir, your lord, your lord, all generations..."
"Thank you, sir, for speaking out for us. May you live a long life..."
Liu Jin's expression became extremely gloomy as he was kneeling on the ground. In his opinion, Li Huan was slapping him in the face in front of so many people.
They were just some eunuchs and palace maids, they were killed as soon as possible. They were originally used by him after he took charge of the ceremonial department to intimidate the generals and establish authority by killing chickens and warning monkeys.
Now Li Huan actually begged the emperor to let these people go. This is nothing but a slap in Liu Jin's face.
