Zhu Lian and Zheng Qingyun were so nervous that their hands were sweating. Zhao Huan, on the other hand, held his head high and looked like he didn't take everyone seriously.
Facing the siege, Zhao Huan's momentum increased instead of decreasing.
"Don't you want to know the name of the person who was harmed by Tongguan? This king will help you!"
"Prick up your ears, I will only say this once!"
Under everyone's disdainful gaze, Zhao Huan flicked his sleeves and spoke with a loud voice. This aura of calm expression despite the collapse of Mount Tai made Chen Zhao, Wang Daquan and others admire him extremely.
"In the first year of Yuanfeng, Tong Guanshang was under the eunuch Li Xian, so he killed three maids!"
"In the first year of Chongning, he went to Hangzhou to serve as an official of the Mingjin Bureau. He used his power to bully others and persecuted the local people, Liu and Wang."
"Subsequently, this thief took advantage of his frequent contacts with His Majesty and became more aggressive in Hangzhou. Just because the man named Zhou called him an eunuch behind his back, he ordered someone to beat him to death in the street."
"The family members of the man surnamed Zhou cannot escape revenge. His pregnant wife was killed and two lives were lost!"
"I wonder, you guys, can these be considered innocent people?"
Zhao Huan, who is familiar with history, naturally picked up Tong Guan's dark history in the old days.
Everyone present was stunned.
The younger generation of officials know almost nothing about these old cases.
But Han Mulu knew it clearly in his heart. It was precisely because he knew that Zhao Huan was not groundless that he was even more shocked!
You must know that these old cases have been deliberately hidden by Tong Guan, and few people know about them unless they were those who witnessed them.
Where did Zhao Huan hear about it?
Zhao Kai on the side stared directly at Han Mulu. Just based on Han Mulu's reaction, he realized that Zhao Huan had a purpose and was not making nonsense out of thin air.
Evil!
Is it true that as Tong Guan said during his lifetime, there was an extremely terrifying spy organization hidden around Zhao Huan?
Otherwise, how to explain Zhao Huan's almost abnormal intelligence ability?
I'm afraid... this espionage organization is even worse than Wudesi!
The originally noisy front hall suddenly fell into dead silence.
Even the noisy Tongguan old party has stopped moving.
The bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, who was standing aside and watching, couldn't help but mutter.
"Prince Ding's intelligence source is too terrifying. He can get hold of such secrets. It's terrifying..."
"More than that! Prince Ding seems to be arrogant and violent, but in fact the city is very deep. This kind of corruption of old and rotten millet is not worth mentioning to Tong Guan, so Prince Ding never mentions it."
"But now that Tong Guan is dead, these things can refute Tong Guan, and a dead person can't argue with him anyway."
"Have you noticed that there is another level of conspiracy?"
"Hahaha, it's not difficult to notice that King Ding only mentioned the old accounts of Tong Guan when he was in opposition, but never mentioned the bad things that happened when Tong Guan was in Beijing as an official."
"His Majesty has more or less intervened in everything that happens in Beijing. If we deny Tong Guan, wouldn't it be equivalent to denying His Majesty?"
The minds of all the scholars were as clear as a mirror. Not only had the trend in the court changed, but Zhao Huan's style was also undergoing subtle changes.
In the past, Zhao Huan was simply a thorn in the side. It was commonplace to confront His Majesty and curse the courtiers.
All these crazy actions are actually consolidating Zhao Huan's status as an "Eagle Party".
Now, not to mention the court, even in the opposition, who doesn't know that Zhao Huan is a die-hard Eagle Party? With the status of a benchmark, there will naturally be fans.
This was Zhao Huan's method to gain political capital.
Now that Zhao Huan's intention has been achieved, he will naturally change his style and gradually transition from being a rebellious son to a virtuous and respectful prince.
If you can avoid offending Your Majesty, then you will definitely not offend him.
This is why His Majesty is becoming more and more patient with Zhao Huan. Even if it is just a show, the father, son, monarch and minister must continue to act out the show.
The bachelors of the Hanlin Academy are all "think tanks" who advise His Majesty and formulate imperial edicts. Combined with His Majesty's attitude, we can get a glimpse of the mystery.
At this point, they are much more informed than ordinary courtiers.
The scholars exchanged glances and made a tacit decision.
One of the six powerful ministers has been killed by Zhao Huan. Although the remaining five are still powerful, in comparison, if they support Zhao Huan, a tall tree rising from the ground, their future will be brighter!
They immediately stepped aside and invited Chen Dayou out.
Chen Dayou, who was over fifty and had spent half his life in the Hanlin Academy, becoming increasingly marginalized, suddenly rose to prominence with the help of Zhao Huan's talent.
Chen Dayou can still wake up laughing when he sleeps now. He sighs secretly that he has a good son and hugs Prince Ding's thigh tightly.
If he had sent other disciples to befriend King Ding at the beginning, he might not have achieved what he has achieved today.
Chen Dayou is already the leader of the war faction of the Hanlin Academy.
Without any hesitation, he directly pointed at the group of children and scolded them loudly.
"Why is there no movement?! Aren't you so crazy?"
"Ha! You're a bunch of people who just follow the wind, and you deserve to come to the palace to congratulate you? How shameless!"
Under the leadership of Chen Dayou, a group of Hanlin Academy scholars came forward one after another and began to curse Tong Guan's old party. Their position in supporting the king was extremely firm.
Zhao Kai's face turned pale. He did not expect that the carefully set up trap would be easily broken by Zhao Huan again.
He didn't even have a chance to let the Genyue guards confront him.
Han Mulu was able to keep his composure, stroking his beard and pretending to be serious: "Scholar Chen, keep a line in your work so that we can meet each other easily in the future. If you burn the boat, there will be no way out."
If it were left to the past, Chen Dayou and others would naturally have to weigh things up.
But today is different from the past. Zhao Huan has repeatedly proved that his methods are brilliant and the city is deep.
In addition, after Zhao Huan killed Tong Guan, His Majesty secretly put pressure on Dali Temple and was not allowed to thoroughly investigate the matter, which further illustrates Zhao Huan's current weight.
Only by fully supporting Zhao Huan can we seek greater political benefits for the future!
Chen Dayou simply waved his sleeves and didn't show Han Mulu any kindness at all.
"Master Han, I think you are old and confused."
"If you don't go to so many departments in Bianjing, you have to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Have you forgotten that the prince is also the supervisory censor of the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Mentioning this official body as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, Han Mulu's expression changed instantly.
When he turned to look at Zhao Huan, all he saw was Zhao Huan's sneer.
"Master Han, you must hide the account books. Whenever I find out something, I will twist off your head and stuff it into your crotch!"
Vulgar! Extremely vulgar!
But Han Mulu had nothing to do with Zhao Huan. After all, the courtiers had already "passively accepted" Zhao Huan's violent behavior.
Now if Zhao Huan suddenly becomes polite, everyone will not adapt to it.
At this juncture of Cai Jing's transfer, Han Mulu must not make any mistakes, otherwise he will miss Cai Jing's plan, and he will not be able to escape the blame even if he dies.
For the sake of the overall situation, Han Mulu could only ignore his conscience and quickly saluted Zhao Huan.
