Li Huan led his men and escorted Luo Wenxiang, Du Wen, and Han Fuli towards the imperial prison. Wherever they passed, the long street was silent. When they found out the whole story, everyone was in an uproar.
In a restaurant, several young people dressed in luxurious clothes were drinking and talking and laughing leisurely. Anyone who knew them would be very surprised to see them.
The identities of these young people are extraordinary. They include Zhang Lun, the grandson of the British Duke, Guo Xun, the son of Wu Dinghou, Zhu Lin, the son of Duke Cheng, and Chen Ru, the son of Taining Marquis. In addition, they are also from the noble lineage in Beijing.
's children.
For these noble children, there is no shortage of wealth and honor in the family, and their elders take care of everything. What they love most in daily life is to gather together to drink and have fun.
This restaurant is a place they often visit. There is a small box next to the window. The large window is open, and you can clearly see the situation on the long street below.
As the son of Wu Dinghou, Guo Xun obviously flattered Zhang Lun, Zhu Lin and the others over the laughter of a few people. The ancestor of their Guo family was Wu Dinghou Guo Ying. To put it bluntly, he belonged to the founding merits canonized by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, the founding merits of the founding of the country were accompanied by Zhu Yuanzhang's mass killings. There are only a few who can be passed down, let alone have any authority.
On the other hand, Zhang Lun from the British lineage and Zhu Lin from the Chengguogong lineage. One of their ancestors was Zhang Fu, one of the Dukes of Jingnan, and the other was Zhu Neng. Those are the people who stand at the top of the lineage of honorable nobles today.
The presence.
Zhang Lun smiled and said to Guo Xun: "I heard that your father intends to pass on the title to you. It seems that you will be in charge of the Guo family from now on!"
Hearing this, Guo Xun hurriedly poured wine for Zhang Lun and said with a smile: "Young master is joking. You also know that I have many brothers in my family. Although my father dotes on me, the important matter of seizing the title depends on the wishes of the Tian family."
Zhu Lin put down the tea cup at this moment, smiled slightly and said: "Have you heard that those civil servants made His Majesty so angry today that they left the court directly!"
Although it happened not long ago, and although they are both descendants of noble families, their level of informed knowledge is different.
When I heard Zhu Lin mention it, Zhang Lun had an indifferent look on his face, obviously already aware of it, while Guo Xun, Chen Ru and several other distinguished disciples had a blank expression on their faces.
Chen Ru said in surprise: "Today is the meeting of the imperial court. What happened to make His Majesty so angry?"
Several eyes fell on Zhu Lin. Zhu Lin smiled slightly and said, "Do you know the newly promoted Jin Yiwei Zhenfu Li Huan?"
Chen Ru and the others look at me and I look at you. The people they usually interact with are all the children of the prince's family, and they have never paid attention to the Jinyiwei Yamen.
Even though Li Huan was famous recently, they had never heard of him.
However, Guo Xun's eyes lit up and he said: "Could the young master be talking about Li Huan, who was trusted by His Majesty when he was only eighteen years old, and was named the Imperial Guard envoy and the bodyguard of the personal army!"
Looking at Guo Xun with admiration, Zhu Lin nodded and said: "Yes, it is this person. It is said that this person is about the same age as everyone, but he does not know what kind of luck he has taken, and he is so valued by your majesty.
The guards and soldiers are all left to him to rectify."
Zhang Lun suddenly said: "It is true that I have the emperor's trust, but accepting this life will bring disaster and fortune."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked awe-inspiring. What was the situation of Jinyiwei? They naturally knew that after years of suppression by civil servants, Jinyiwei had declined to the extreme. Today, if you want to reorganize Jinyiwei, the first thing you have to do is the cabinet and officials.
That level.
And if Li Huan wanted to reorganize his bodyguards and troops under such circumstances, it would be strange if the officials didn't punish him to death.
Zhu Lin chuckled and said: "Yes, at today's meeting, led by the supervisory censor Luo Wenxiang, hundreds of officials impeached Li Huan, occupied private houses, and raised eunuchs with the intention of treason..."
"Tsk, tsk, impeaching Li Huan for treason will cost someone's life! It's really a common method used by civil servants!"
Chen Ru couldn't help but marvel when he heard this.
Guo Xun asked curiously: "Is it possible that His Majesty had a quarrel with the officials because of this?"
Zhang Lun took a sip of tea, glanced at Zhu Lin and said with a smile: "The officials asked your majesty to capture Li Huan and hand him over to the three departments for trial, but your majesty naturally refused. In addition, Dongchangchang stallion Ma Yongcheng came forward to testify against Luo Wenxiang's impeachment.
Li Huan’s crimes are all untrue. Instead, he wants to severely punish the supervisory censor Luo Wenxiang. The cabinet boss Xie Qian protected him and angered His Majesty..."
Zhu Lin nodded and said: "Yes, anyway, His Majesty was so angry that the cabinet left. I don't know how to ease it next."
Guo Xun chuckled and said: "Your Majesty has a stalemate with the cabinet. When the time comes, you will have to ask the two old princes to come forward to deal with it."
Chen Ru heard this and said: "Yes, the cabinet will definitely ask the two old princes to mediate."
One of the noble disciples spoke slowly: "For the sake of a Jinyi Guards envoy, the cabinet and Your Majesty actually had a quarrel. I really want to meet this Li Huan!"
While everyone was chatting and joking, noises came from a distance, and the commotion became louder and louder. Even Zhang Lun and Zhu Lin could not help but become curious. This was out of season, and it was an important place in the capital, in broad daylight.
How could there be such a big fuss?
"What happened?"
Just hearing that movement, at least a thousand people gathered in one place, and a few people got up and walked to the window to look out.
Looking from a distance, one can see a man riding up the long street at the head, followed by a group of guards in uniforms, and behind them is a group of common people, the crowd is dark and the momentum is extremely frightening.
The eyes of several people were attracted by the figure on the horse. He was tall and straight, dressed in the imperial flying fish uniform, and was riding on the horse surrounded by guards in hundreds of brocade clothes. His style was really admirable.
"Hey, that's..."
Their eyes passed over Li Huan, and several people were immediately attracted by several figures. It was Luo Wenxiang, Du Wen, and Han Fuli who were being held up.
When they saw Luo Wenxiang, Du Wen, and Han Fuli, Zhang Lun, Zhu Lin, and Guo Xun all opened their eyes wide, as if they had seen something incredible.
A noble disciple blinked his eyes, looked at the team of Jinyiwei passing by from the restaurant, and whispered softly: "I'm not wrong, where did the Jinyiwei catch the unlucky guy, and he walked through the street naked like this?"
But then, what’s the point of showing face to others!”
Guo Xun stared at the retreating figure of Li Huan with a gleam in his eyes and suddenly said: "You think that person just now is not that Li Huan, right?"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they all showed astonishment. At this moment, the people's noisy shouts came from downstairs.
"Kill corrupt officials...Luo Wenxiang should be killed...Li Huanzhen, the governor, really eliminates harm for the people..."
Taking a deep breath and looking away from the chaotic crowd below, Zhang Lun suddenly said: "This Li Huan really can't take revenge overnight!"
Listening to Zhang Lun's sigh, Guo Xun's mind was filled with excitement and he said: "Luo Wenxiang just impeached him for plotting rebellion. However, just a short time later, Li Huan directly killed him and stripped him naked and paraded him through the streets. With his temper, this behavior is really simple."
