Chapter 114 Xie Ge's Old Cashier Doesn't Work? [one more]

Capital
Li Huan bid farewell to the emperor and took Ma Ming and others straight to the Jinyiwei yamen.

After all, tomorrow the Son of Heaven will inspect the [-] Jinyiwei guards. This matter cannot be ignored, and preparations must be made early.

But Zhu Houzhao said that as long as the guards are satisfied with the emperor after the inspection, then the palace guards and the emperor's guard of honor can be replaced.

Even though these candidates were selected one by one by Li Huan, but now that the situation really came to an end, Li Huan became more and more worried.

Galloping wildly on the long street, although a team of Jinyiwei galloping along the long street is very eye-catching, but after passing the first two times, at least many people are no longer surprised by it, and some bold people even pointed at the far away From the backs of Li Huan and others, they explained many things about Li Huan to those who looked stunned.

When Li Huan returned to the Jinyiwei yamen, the first thing he had to do was to see Shi Wenyi, who was the commander of the Jinyiwei. The official position of his commander is nothing more than waiting for Li Huan to take over the Jinyiwei smoothly after his foundation is solid.

Shi Wenyi himself is very knowledgeable, knowing that his greatest use right now is to escort Li Huan, so he actively reduced his sense of presence in the Jinyiwei Yamen. It can be said that many things in the Jinyiwei Yamen have been handed over by Shi Wenyi Handed over to Li Huan.

Shi Wenyi's reaction disappointed the people who originally wanted to watch a big drama in which Jin Yiwei's new and old power figures fight among themselves.

This day, Shi Wenyi was idle in the yamen, thinking about which outhouse he should relax in when the yamen came down.

Just as he was thinking about something good, he heard footsteps coming from the outside. He looked up and happened to see Li Huan. When he saw Li Huan, Shi Wenyi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, his eyes showing a bit of astonishment and horror.

Almost like a conditioned reflex, Shi Wenyi collapsed, looked warily at Li Huan who walked in and said, "Li Huan, what do you want to do, is it possible that you want to kill Shangguan and intend to rebel?"

Li Huan couldn't help being stunned for a moment, he was a little confused by Shi Wenyi's reaction, what kind of reaction was this, he came in properly, why did he act like he was going to kill someone.

Looking at Li Huan with a sluggish face, Shi Wenyi still kept a bit of vigilance and stared at Li Huan, but if Li Huan did anything unusual, Shi Wenyi would not wait to die, and had to fight for it.

At the same time, Shi Wenyi thought endlessly, could it be that the emperor blamed himself for not letting go of the position of commander of Jinyiwei, and specially ordered Li Huan to kill him?
But I have already delegated all the power to Li Huan, and the emperor, you just promoted Li Huan to be the commander of the Jinyiwei, and did not let him take charge of the Jinyiwei. No wonder he is the commander.

Thinking of this in his mind, Shi Wenyi's expression changed, which can be described as extremely exciting.

Could it be that Li Huan was puzzled by Monk Zhanger, and looked at Shi Wenyi with a puzzled face, but he also saw Shi Wenyi's guard, so he didn't continue to move forward, but stopped his body, and said with a bit of puzzlement : "Why did your lord say that?"

Shi Wenyi pointed at Li Huan. At this time, Li Huan was wearing a brocade guard robe with an embroidered spring knife hanging from his waist, but his body was stained with a lot of blood. No matter how you looked at it, it gave people the illusion that he had just killed someone.

This appearance suddenly appeared here, if Shi Wenyi didn't think about it, it would be strange.

But Li Huan looked down, and suddenly his face showed a look of surprise. He didn't understand why Shi Wenyi misunderstood.

Taking a deep breath, Li Huan bowed his hands to Shi Wenyi and said: "Not long ago, Mr. Li accompanied the emperor to fight two tigers, and he was accidentally stained with some blood. When he came back, he forgot to change into clean clothes before he came to see the lord, which disturbed the lord. , and please forgive me, my lord."

Shi Wenyi was so tactful that he handed over the authority of Jin Yiwei to him. As the saying goes, people in sedan chairs carry people, and Li Huan always has to take this job, right? So Li Huan still maintains enough respect for Shi Wenyi on weekdays , Give Shi Wenyi face.

Shi Wenyi was relieved when he heard what Li Huan said, and seeing that Li Huan's expression did not seem to be lying.

If Li Huan really followed the emperor's order to kill him, then he really had no room to resist. Besides, the emperor wanted to take him down, but it was just a will, and there was no need to let Li Huan carry the murderous death on his back. The bad reputation of killing Shangguan came to attack him.

After thinking about this, Shi Wenyi let go of his heart, let go of his vigilance and said to Li Huan, "So that's the case, but it was Shi who treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Don't blame Brother Li Huan!"

Li Huan smiled wryly, looked at the blood stained on his body, and saluted Shi Wenyi: "My lord, wait a moment, I will go and change my clothes before I come to see you."

When Shi Wenyi was about to say no, Li Huan had already left.

Back in his office, Li Huan went into the inner room and changed into clean clothes before going to see Shi Wenyi.

When I saw Shi Wenyi again, Shi Wenyi already looked like a good old man and greeted Li Huan to sit down. He poured tea for Li Huan and said enviously: "Brother Li is really simple in the emperor's heart. The two are comparable, and others are envious!"

Li Huan said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you are joking. Li is just loved by His Majesty wrongly. You can only do things well to repay Your Majesty's kindness."

After saying a few polite words, Li Huan looked straight and said: "Your Excellency, you should know that the official is ordered to reorganize the guards. Now the three thousand guards are in place. I have informed His Majesty today that His Majesty intends to inspect the guards tomorrow. , an adult is required to be present during the presentation."

After all, Shi Wenyi was also the leader of Jin Yiwei. Tomorrow the emperor inspected the bodyguards, and Shi Wenyi would obviously be there. Otherwise, if Shi Wenyi was not notified, even if Shi Wenyi didn't say it, he might have some opinions in his heart.

What's more, once the news spread, Li Huan's reputation among the Jinyiwei would be greatly reduced, and he would definitely lose the notoriety of being a proud and superior official.

Shi Wenyi was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately understood Li Huan's meaning, and immediately laughed and said: "Okay, okay, for such a big event, I will definitely be there tomorrow."

After Li Huan went back, he recruited Zhao Yi and Chen Ke as soon as he went back. Nowadays, among the thousands of officials in Jinyiwei, including Qian Ning, they all expressed their intention to move closer to him, but in comparison, Li Huan was obviously more serious. Trust Chen Ke and Zhao Yi.

One, Chen Kenai was his superior at the time, and he didn't particularly target people who came from his own place, and he was regarded as an impartial and decisive official.

One is that Chen Ke and Zhao Yi were the first to express their intention to get closer to him, so Li Huan would hand over many things to them.

When seeing Li Huan, Chen Ke and Zhao Yi paid respects first, and then looked at Li Huan expectantly.

After all, they knew that Li Huan had entered the palace to see His Majesty not long ago, and begged His Majesty for permission to replace the guards of the imperial city and the guard of honor of the emperor.

Seeing the eyes of the two, Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty will inspect the guards and troops tomorrow, and if His Majesty is satisfied, then we will begin to replace the guards and guards of honor."

Chen Ke and Zhao Yi couldn't help showing joy on their faces. Since the emperor agreed to change the guards and guards of honor, this is obviously the greatest trust in Li Huan. As Li Huan's subordinates, they only need Li Huan If they are more favored in front of the emperor, they will also follow suit, right?

"Congratulations, my lord!"

Both of them congratulated Li Huan together.

Li Huan waved his hand and said: "Congratulations, it's still too early to say, after all, there is still a hurdle to pass tomorrow, and now I call you here to let the two of you give me another check, and see what I have selected. Among those candidates, there is no problem personnel."

Zhao Yi and Chen Ke are old people who have worked in the Jinyiwei yamen for 20 years. They have been from hundreds of households to thousands of households. It can be said that they are very clear about the ups and downs of Jinyiwei.

The question that Li Huan didn't know, for the two of them, was simply the palm of the hand, and it couldn't be clearer.

Chen Ke and Zhao Yi looked at each other, nodded immediately and said, "I obey."

The three of them brought out the names and birthplaces of the three thousand guards and other materials, and began to screen them one by one.

Fortunately, Li Huan had already made preparations. Although the bodyguards were only three thousand, it did not prevent him from mobilizing more just in case, so even if some people were screened out, there was no need to worry about not having enough numbers.

This screening came in the evening, and it took a full half a day. Even with Li Huan's energy, he felt that his eyes were dim, and his mind was full of information about the guards and soldiers.

However, this afternoon's busy work was not fruitless. With the help of Chen Ke and Zhao Yi, Li Huan once again screened out hundreds of candidates from those candidates, and then added some backups, making up a total of [-] candidates. number.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Li Huan looked at Zhao Yi and Chen Ke, and Li Huan said with a smile: "It's thanks to the help of the two of you this time, otherwise, there might be someone among these people who might threaten your majesty's safety." mix in."

Chen Ke and Zhao Yi shook their heads again and again. One must know that the shock that Li Huan brought to them was too great. They never thought of the names of the [-] guards and other information. It was all in his mind, and every time he said a person's name, Li Huan was able to accurately tell the other person's hometown, background, and resume after entering the Jinyiwei Yamen.

This is not one, two, or three or fifty people, and it is not impossible to memorize them by forceful memory. You must know that there are as many as three thousand, and Li Huan actually memorized all of them, which only made them deeply amazed.

Li Huan got up, stretched his body and said: "Come on, I'm the host today, you two should give Li this face."

Li Huan had already said so much, the two of them naturally nodded in agreement.

Zuiyue Tower is an ordinary restaurant, most of the guests who come here are middle- and lower-class people, which makes the restaurant more lively and bustling.

When Li Huan was an official of the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei, he used to come here to drink with Ma Ming, Chen Yao and others.

Changing into casual clothes, the three of them chose a seat by the window and sat down. Li Huan, who was familiar with the house, greeted Xiao Er to order wine and food.

Seeing Li Huan's familiar appearance, Chen Ke couldn't help but wondered: "Master, don't you often come here?"

Li Huan said with a smile: "You don't know, Ziming. I used to bring Ma Ming, Chen Yao and other guys here for tooth festivals. I have to say that the stewed meat in this restaurant is quite tasty, especially the ones here. The first-class Hokkien cuisine prepared by the chef is very good, you might as well try it later."

Generally speaking, it is unlikely that Chen Ke and Zhao Yi will come to this kind of restaurant, after all, they are also officials of one thousand households of Jinyiwei, and they really look down on such a place where three religions and nine schools are mixed.

But after hearing what Li Huan said, the two of them understood why Li Huan came to such an unremarkable restaurant. The feeling was that the other party's cook cooked excellent hometown dishes.

There are more than a dozen tables in the hall, and there are already seven or eight people sitting there. At a glance, they are either traffickers or pawns, or merchants. Anyway, from the perspective of Chen Ke and Zhao Yi, there is not a single person here. He is an official.

While looking around, at a table behind them, a few people were talking in a low voice in Mandarin mixed with a local accent that Li Huan was all too familiar with.

Originally, Li Huan didn't pay much attention, but the strong local accents of these people attracted Li Huan's attention, and the whispered conversation of those people actually involved Xie Qian, the former elder of the pavilion, so Li Huan couldn't help but take another look.

Li Huan's actions naturally attracted the attention of Zhao Yi and Chen Ke. After all, they are also people who have practiced internal kung fu.

Although the voices of the people behind them have been lowered a lot, they can't hide it from their eyes and ears.

Glancing sideways slightly, Chen Ke said in a low voice: "My lord, these people should be from the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, and their identities should not be ordinary businessmen or peddlers."

Speaking of which, Chen Ke said: "You see, although the leader said that he was dressed plainly, if you look carefully, you will find that the inner lining of his clothes is made of high-quality silk, and the workmanship and stitches of the clothes are all From the hands of famous masters, it is not comparable to ordinary embroidery workers. Looking at the jade pendant hanging around his waist, the value may not be less than tens of taels of silver, and he does not have the spirit of a merchant..."

As expected, he walked from the bottom to the seat of Jinyiwei Qianhu step by step. Chen Ke just glanced at it seemingly unintentionally, but he came to so many conclusions at once. The observation is so subtle, it can be seen that Chen Ke has already put Jinyiwei The ability to observe words and emotions is imprinted in his bones.

At this moment, Zhao Yi suddenly said in a low voice: "If my judgment is not wrong, one of these people should be the staff of some local official, and the rest should be guards and servants."

Li Huan nodded slightly. In fact, after Chen Ke and Zhao Yi's analysis, the identities of those people could be roughly judged.

It is very likely that a few people are the staff and guards sent by a local official to the capital to move about in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

At this moment, the child came up with the food and drink, and said with a smile: "Objective, your food is ready, but do you have any orders?"

Li Huan waved his hands and said with a smile: "I will call you when I have something to do."

Immediately, Li Huan greeted Zhao Yi and Chen Ke to eat food and drink, but because of the content of the whispered conversations of the few people beside him, Li Huan's attention was gradually attracted to him.

It's just that the people at that table quickly finished their meal, and then went into the backyard.

Zhao Yi, who had been paying attention to Li Huan's expression all the time, saw those people leaving and said, "My lord, it's very common for local officials to send their confidants to Beijing to improve their relations."

Li Huan nodded slightly, he was naturally aware of this point, local officials tried their best to move around and improve their relationship, which has been the same since ancient times.

With a slight smile, Li Huan said: "Did you hear just now, the people behind that group of people are probably not ordinary officials, but they are disciples of Ge Lao Xie Qian."

Chen Ke couldn't help laughing and said: "So what, I'm afraid that the other party's party will be disappointed this time, Xie Qian has already been knocked out of the old position by the adults, and now he is just a commoner. It must be very difficult for these people to come here now." trouble."

Zhao Yi also had a smile on his face when he heard the words.

Thinking about it, it is true. After finally entering Beijing and wanting to have a relationship, it turns out that the person I want to have a relationship with is worthless. The depression can be imagined.

Li Huan didn't take it too seriously, he just raised his glass with a smile and said, "Come, drink!"

But the people who attracted Li Huan's attention returned to the backyard of the restaurant, and the leader said to a guard, "Go and invite Cai Changgui, and tell him that I have something to ask him."

Soon the shopkeeper of Zuiyuelou was invited over. When he saw the man, he couldn't help being stunned, and quickly stepped forward to salute: "Mr. Sun, when did you enter Beijing? Why don't you send someone to inform you in advance? Let Cai make preparations in advance so that he can receive Mr.

Sun Xiang glanced at Cai Changgui and said, "Shopkeeper Cai, Mr. Sun just arrived today, and he just ordered some food in the front hall and asked for some news."

Shopkeeper Cai looked around and said, "Mr. Sun, this is not a place to talk, just follow me."

After introducing Sun Xiang into a room, shopkeeper Cai said with a serious expression, "I don't know why your lord sent you to Beijing this time?"

Sun Xiang said sternly: "You also know that Master Fan has already sent 20 taels of silver to the capital in order to get through the relationship with Mr. Xie Ge, but there is no news so far. My Lord ordered me to prepare another generous gift, and I am going to pay a visit to Xie Ge. Old man, make some insinuations and see when there will be a result."

Shopkeeper Cai couldn't help heaving a long sigh when he heard the words, and said with a wry smile on his face: "My lord's plan is probably to use the bamboo basket to fetch water in vain."

Sun Xiang couldn't help being stunned, looked at Shopkeeper Cai in astonishment and puzzlement, and said, "What do you say, my lord is Mr. Xie Ge's favorite student, and he has been giving big gifts during the New Year. Can Mr. Xie Ge still get the money and not get things done?"
