Hearing this, Ma Ming couldn't help but shook his head and said: "My lord is joking, how can I guess the thoughts of a dignified censor?"
But at this moment, Li Huan also opened the letter, glanced at it, and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth with a slight smile and said softly: "Interesting, really interesting!"
Li Huan had no intention of avoiding Ma Ming, so Ma Ming could clearly see the contents of the letter.
"...Brother Li Huan, we are from the same hometown. I asked you to hold a banquet tonight at Yuqing Tower. Please don't refuse..."
Li Huan only found it interesting, but Ma Ming looked very unhappy and said: "Sir, this Luo Wenxiang is so rude. He is just one of the thirteen supervisory censors of the Supervisory Council and a seventh-rank official.
If you dare to make excuses in front of the adults, people who don’t know better would think that he is the second-rank Zuodu Yushi!”
When it comes to official ranks, the Thirteen Supervisory Censors are indeed only seventh-rank officials. They are much worse than Li Huan's fourth-rank governor. Normally speaking, Luo Wenxiang's letter is already rude.
.
Li Huan was not angry at all. He chuckled and said, "I am the supervisory censor of the supervisory department. Normally, I don't even give face to the officials in the border areas."
Ma Ming asked curiously: "Aren't these people working hard to impeach you at the court meeting? Why would Luo Wenxiang want to invite you to the banquet?"
Li Huan casually threw the letter on the table and said lightly: "What's the purpose? Won't it be clear when I go see it?"
As he spoke, Li Huan threw a roster to Ma Ming and said: "Okay, you go and order people to allocate people according to this roster. In half a month, I want these people to gather in the capital together and wait for inspection!"
Ma Ming's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the thick roster and said, "Your Excellency, you have finally decided on the candidates for the bodyguards and soldiers?"
Li Huan nodded slightly. It took him so long to finally finalize the roster, and it was not in vain that he spent so much time and effort in carefully selecting it.
Inspectorate
Two censors were sitting opposite each other, playing chess and talking.
Du Wen dropped the white piece in his hand and said with a chuckle: "Brother Luo really misses his fellow countrymen. If you hadn't been the one to talk things over, I wouldn't have thought that the impeachment papers for Li Huan would have been sent to the Emperor's court by now!"
Luo Wenxiang rolled up his sleeves and dropped a chess piece gracefully. Hearing this, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's rare for a talent like Li Huan to appear in Fujian. As an elder from the same hometown, I can't just look at him."
If you go astray, you will end up with a ruined reputation and a lasting infamy."
Du Wen chuckled and said, "Brother Luo has good intentions, but it also depends on whether Li Huan will appreciate it and listen to your advice, Brother Luo!"
Luo Wenxiang said sternly: "The Jin Yiwei has always been a scourge for the country and the people. How dare Li Huan risk the disapproval of the world and accept the order to reorganize the bodyguards and pro-army. This move is not tolerated by the world and the officials. If you are willing to listen to the advice, then so be it. If not, then it will be fine."
Listen, I don’t mind destroying this scourge for the sake of the people of the world.”
Luo Wenxiang's words were so categorical that Du Wen only high-fived and exclaimed: "Okay, Brother Luo is really selfless, and he should be an example for many of my censors!"
Hearing the praise from his colleagues, Luo Wenxiang looked proud, stroking his beard and saying with a smile: "This is my duty as a minister!"
In the evening, Yuqing Tower
Li Huan, dressed in casual clothes, walked into the restaurant leisurely. As soon as he walked into the restaurant, he saw a young man in green, his eyes lit up, and he walked up quickly and said, "But Mr. Li Huan is in person!"
Li Huan glanced at the other party. Although the other party was dressed as a servant, his clothes were made of fine fabrics. He was obviously not an ordinary servant.
"Your master must be Luo Wenxiang!"
Obviously he didn't expect that Li Huan would call Luo Wenxiang by his first name. The boy was stunned. He was used to being flattered, and subconsciously wanted to scold him. But suddenly thinking of Li Huan's identity, the boy couldn't help but slap him.
Shivering: "Exactly..."
At this moment, a deep voice with a hint of Fujian accent came from the stairs on the second floor: "Hahaha, I said that little brother Li Huan will definitely not refute my thin noodles, come on up
Talk on the floor!"
Inadvertently, Luo Wenxiang's attitude of relying on his elders and showing off his elders came out, while Li Huan looked around. Except for them, the huge Yu Qing Tower was empty.
You must know that Yuqing Tower is an extremely high-end restaurant in the capital. It is dinner time, and it should not be so deserted. Obviously, Yu Qing Tower has been booked out.
A small censor can actually easily own a high-end restaurant. This is not only possible because of money, but more importantly, influence.
Luo Wenxiang, who was condescending, saw that Li Huan did not move but looked around. A look of confusion flashed in his eyes, but a smile appeared on his face and he said: "In order to host a banquet for brother Li Huan, I specially booked this restaurant.
, it’s just peaceful and clean, so you don’t have to worry about anyone disturbing it.”
Li Huan walked a few steps and sat down directly on a chair in front of a table in the restaurant hall. He chuckled and said: "Since Luo Yushi invited me to come, and now I am here, I don't know what Luo Yushi has to do."
Advice!"
Seeing Li Huan's reaction, Luo Wenxiang's face that was originally full of smiles suddenly froze, the smile disappeared, his expression became solemn, he winked at the servant, and walked down the stairs step by step.
The servant obviously understood the meaning in Luo Wenxiang's eyes, and quietly retreated, leaving the hall on the first floor to Li Huan and Luo Wenxiang, and even took the initiative to close the door of the restaurant.
Walking down the stairs, Luo Wenxiang seemed to be thinking about words. He walked slowly to the table and sat down as well. At this moment, a kind and kind smile appeared on his face. He stroked his beard and said to Li Huan: "We are both from Fujian.
, I will ask you to call you little brother."
Li Huan made no comment and just glanced at Luo Wenxiang lightly.
Luo Wenxiang was not worried, and looked like a good old man. He took the teapot on the table and poured tea and said: "Since ancient times, we in Fujian have not been able to compare with the number of talented people in the south of the Yangtze River. There are very few people from Fujian in this country."
When Zi was an official, my younger brother became the governor of Jinyiwei Town at a young age, which is rare and is indeed a blessing for us in Fujian."
Pushing the poured tea in front of Li Huan, Luo Wenxiang suddenly changed his voice and said: "But little brother, you don't know that you are in trouble. How can I helplessly watch a young man who finally walked out of his hometown?"
A hero's reputation is ruined and his family is destroyed."
Li Huan didn't say anything. He just listened to Luo Wenxiang's performance. He suddenly laughed and said, "I wonder why Mr. Li has to lose his reputation and his family to die!"
Luo Wenxiang heard this and immediately said: "Little brother Li, don't you know what happened to Mao Xiang, Ji Gang, and Ma Shun? They all died and their families were destroyed, which is shameful to everyone in the world!"
Li Huan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Li is just the governor of Jinyiwei Town in a district. There are also commanding officers and commanders above. Those you mentioned are all commanders of Jinyiwei. What's the difference with Li?"
Dry!"
Luo Wenxiang said earnestly and sincerely for the sake of Li Huan: "But little brother, you shouldn't have received the order to reorganize the bodyguards' army. Isn't this the first time you issued an order to reorganize the bodyguards' army after His Majesty ascended the throne? No.
, no one in Jinyiwei dares to accept this decree!"
