Chapter 118 The Shocking Cheats of Cultivation Techniques 【Order】

Soon there was a creaking sound from the next door, and Li Huan summoned Cao Yu and said, "Cao Yu, you should also bring someone to watch at night."

Cao Yu and Ma Ming were actually responsible for counting the silver. As for the other Jin Yiwei, they were only responsible for carrying the boxes. Although they also guessed that there were gold and silver in the boxes, they never saw them, and the impact was not that great.

It's not that Li Huan doesn't trust Ma Ming and other Jinyiwei people, it's really unpredictable, that's 10,000+ taels of white money.

Li Huan didn't want to test people's hearts, so he ordered Ma Ming to lead people to keep an eye on the money, and at the same time Li Huan also asked Cao Yu to send people to watch, so that the two groups of people together can make people not distracted.

Cao Yu nodded solemnly and said, "My lord, don't worry, the slaves must take care of those things for you."

Li Huan nodded, turned around and went back to rest.

As for the fact that Sun Xiang accepted the big gift from Li Huan and asked him to keep Cai Wen's name card, Sun Xiang was in a very good mood.

After hearing the news of Xie Qian's dismissal earlier, Sun Xiang once thought that he would have no chance to help his lord to operate and be transferred back to the capital.

Thinking that Li Huan is from Fujian, according to the official standards of this era, he is a real township party, and Li Huan promised to help at that time, how could this not make Sun Xiang excited.

When we returned to Zuiyue Tower, shopkeeper Cai had been waiting for Sun Xiang to return. When he saw Sun Xiang's happy expression, shopkeeper Cai knew that the result should be good without asking.

But shopkeeper Cai still looked at Sun Xiang and said, "Mr. Sun, how is it? Did Li Huan accept that big gift?"

Sun Xiang stroked his beard, nodded with a bit of a smile, and said, "A big gift of 10 taels, looking at this land of the capital, how many people can not be tempted. Li Huan is also a mortal, so how can he not be tempted."

Shopkeeper Cai rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Okay, okay, if this can be done, my lord will definitely reward you a lot!"

Sun Xiang's heart moved and he said to the shopkeeper Cai: "Cai Changgui, send someone to the Sitong Bank to keep an eye on it and see if anyone has withdrawn large amounts of cash!"

Instead, shopkeeper Cai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Sun. After you leave, I will order someone to go to the Sitong Bank to keep an eye on it. If Li Huan sends someone to withdraw the cash, we will know as soon as possible."

Sun Xiang glanced at Shopkeeper Cai appreciatively and said, "We'll just wait for Li Huan to speak up for Your Excellency, and we must pass the news to Your Excellency as soon as possible."

Imperial City
Zhu Houzhao sat in the middle of the imperial study, looked at Liu Jin, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others in front of him, and said: "The Qing family came to see me, presumably the candidates for the cabinet have come out!"

Li Dongyang went forward and presented a memorial to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, after the public recommendation of the Jiuqing, the Minister of the Household Department, Wang Jia, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the Minister of Officials, Jiao Fang, a scholar of Huagaidian University, were selected as cabinet ministers. , I also ask His Majesty for your permission."

Liu Jin stood aside. Although Zhang Cai was not able to be promoted to the cabinet, compared to before, at least Jiao Fang was in the cabinet. Since then, he has been included in the cabinet.

Even though Zhu Houzhao didn't pay much attention to the government affairs of the court, he knew that there was a lot of disputes among elders in the court for a while.

Now that the civil servants group and Liu Jin have each won a seat, it can be regarded as their own income.

With a thought in mind, Zhu Houzhao took a pen and wrote a large letter of approval on the memorial, which was regarded as the appointment of the new cabinet minister.

After handing over the memorial to Li Dongyang, Zhu Houzhao said: "From now on, I will be the chief assistant in all affairs of the cabinet."

Li Dongyang hurriedly bowed and said: "I will do my best to assist Your Majesty."

After waving his hands, Zhu Houzhao said: "Okay, the government is busy, and I won't leave two elders behind!"

But just as Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the two were about to leave, Liu Jin who was standing beside him suddenly said: "Your Majesty recently impeached Li Huan, the Commander of the Jinyiwei, and the Commander of the Jinyiwei, with all the Chinese and military officials. ..."

Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe happened to hear Liu Jin's words, they just paused for a moment, then looked at each other, and left the imperial study room.

Zhu Houzhao's angry voice came faintly from behind: "All the memorials to impeach Li Qing will not be published, and I will record all the officials who impeached Li Qing. I want to see it. Impeach Li Qing. Who exactly are there?"

Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the two drifted away, and the voices in the imperial study could no longer be heard.

Yang Tinghe took a look at Li Dongyang, and sighed softly: "Mr. Xiya, His Majesty will not let the officials impeach Li Huan. If this resentment continues to accumulate, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be another hundred officials impeachment. Knock the palace."

Frowning, Li Dongyang looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Then Jie Fu, what can you do?"

Yang Tinghe looked around, and said in a low voice: "We must not sit idly by the rise of Jinyiwei, especially if Li Huan is not allowed to take power, otherwise what happened to Luo Wenxiang and others will definitely happen again."

Li Dongyang, who was stroking his beard, said with a wry smile: "I don't know how old man is, all the officials have spent many years of energy to suppress Jinyiwei and Dongchang. If Jinyiwei is released, wouldn't it be a waste of all the efforts of the sages? There is no problem in taking Li Huan down, the key is that you have to have real evidence, otherwise, you will frame him out of thin air, and with the protection of the emperor, even we will have no choice but to take him down."

The two elders were walking and chatting. While they were talking, a voice suddenly came from the front: "Hey, isn't this the chief assistant and Elder Yang?"

Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang looked up and couldn't help being taken aback. It was none other than Li Huan who came.

With a slight smile on his face, Li Huan cupped his hands at the two of them and said, "Li Huan has met the two elders."

Thinking of just talking about Li Huan just now, they bumped into Li Huan at this moment. Even Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe were a little embarrassed, but after all, it was the ups and downs of the officialdom. After realizing it, their expressions remained unchanged, and even the faces of the two of them There was also a smile on the face.

Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "Does Li Tong know that he is going to see His Majesty?"

Li Huan nodded slightly and said: "That's right, I have something to see Your Majesty."

Looking at Li Huan, Li Dongyang changed his expression and said, "Li Tongzhi, I don't know if I should say something or not!"

Li Huan said with a smile: "The lower official is just a junior. If you have anything to say, Mr. Shoufu, just say it!"

Li Dongyang said sternly: "You also know that you are impeached by all the officials in the court. Although it is said that your majesty will not send you, but even your majesty can't hold back sometimes. I suggest that you might as well think about it."

After hesitating for a while, Li Dongyang sighed and said: "The officials who were imprisoned before were only angered for a while. They should have learned a lesson after being imprisoned for so long. If Li Tongzhi can let them go One horse, not only those officials are grateful, even the hundred officials will see each other, and perhaps they will no longer be so hostile to Li Tongzhi."

Li Huan was slightly taken aback, and looked at Li Dongyang. Compared with Xie Qian and Liu Jian, the two slightly stronger cabinet elders, Li Dongyang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, had a bit of a good old taste.

Thanks to Li Dongyang's mediation in the court, the relationship between the officials and the emperor did not become stagnant.

At this moment when Li Dongyang spoke, Li Huan did not suspect that Li Dongyang had any selfish intentions. From Li Dongyang's point of view, persuading him was naturally to reconcile the relationship between the two parties so as not to intensify the conflict.

After pondering for a while, Li Huan cupped his hands at Li Dongyang and said, "Li Huan, thank you, Chief Assistant, for your concern."

While talking, Li Dongyang looked at him expectantly, Li Huan changed the subject: "Li has to go to see His Majesty, so I won't bother the elders."

Seeing the back of Li Huan leaving, Li Dongyang stroked his beard and looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Jiefu, do you think Li Huan listened to the old man's persuasion just now?"

Yang Tinghe shook his head and said, "Li Huan, even Yang can't understand him!"

Li Dongyang sighed softly: "I just hope that he can listen to the old man's persuasion. In this way, it will be good for him and the court."

Looking at the back of Li Huan going away, Yang Tinghe said silently in his heart: Mr. Xi Ya, your idea is good, but Li Huan may not be what you think.

At this moment Yang Tinghe said: "Forget it, when Jizhi enters the cabinet, let's persuade His Majesty again, and hope His Majesty can calm down and let those people go."

It can't be said that Yang Ting and the chief assistant have no distinction between right and wrong, and insist on protecting those officials.

After all, those people besieged and killed the emperor's servants at that time. In the eyes of the civil officials, there was nothing wrong at all. Instead of being helpless, they were meritorious.

Although it is incompatible with the national law, a group of civil servants regard those people as heroes, and naturally want to rescue those people.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, all Li Dongyang can do is to walk between the emperor and the officials, trying to reconcile the relationship between the two parties as much as possible.

Here, Li Huan was about to walk into the imperial study when he pretended to bump into Liu Jin.

When Liu Jin saw Li Huan, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said with a half smile: "Hey, isn't this Li Huan? Why do you have time to see His Majesty? Is it possible that Jin Yiwei has finished his work?"

Facing Liu Jin's cynicism, Li Huan was not afraid, he just glanced at Liu Jin and said, "Excuse me!"

As he said that, he directly wiped Liu Jin's body and strode into the imperial study room. The attitude of ignoring Liu Jin made Liu Jin almost break his defense in anger.

After glaring at Li Huan, Liu Jin left angrily.

In the imperial study room, Zhu Houzhao naturally saw the confrontation between the two at the door, but shook his head with a smile.

As long as Li Huan and Liu Jin were not really quarreling, Zhu Houzhao would have ignored him. Seeing Li Huan coming to see him now, he couldn't help asking curiously, "Li Qing came to see me so early, but what's the matter?"

Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have come to present a sum of wealth to Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Li Huan with some doubts, looking very puzzled.

Li Huan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, wait a moment. When someone brings the things, Your Majesty may wish to take a look."

It turned out that early in the morning, Li Huan asked the people from Jin Yiwei to rush to the palace with the boxes of gold and silver. Li Huan entered the palace first, but the boxes of gold and silver had to go through layers of inspection before they could enter later. palace.

Hearing what Li Huan said, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help feeling a little interested, stood up from the chair, and said with a smile, "Oh, where is the thing, let me take a look."

The servants in the palace were quite efficient in their work, and while they were talking, they saw a group of servants staggering over carrying huge boxes in the distance.

After a few bangs, the box fell to the ground heavily. Just by the sound, one could tell how heavy the box was.

Li Huan waved his hand, and the servants stepped aside consciously, while Zhu Houzhao came over at this moment, looked at the boxes, and subconsciously looked at Li Huan.

Li Huan smiled slightly, took a step forward, raised his hand and opened several boxes one by one, and immediately the white money appeared in Zhu Houzhao's sight.

There were several large boxes of white silver that shone dazzlingly under the sunlight. Even Zhu Houzhao, the emperor who is known as the richest man in the world, couldn't help being stunned when he saw so much gold and silver for a while.

"A lot of silver!"

Seeing so much gold and silver, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but exclaim.

Li Huan took out a famous post from his cuff and handed it to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty may wish to take a look, the gold and silver were sent by this man, and he said that he asked the officials to say something nice to His Majesty for him. 20 taels of gold, silver and jewels belong to the minister."

Zhu Houzhao took the famous post and glanced at it. It clearly wrote about Cai Wen's resume. It was clear which year he was a Jinshi and which year he was sent to a local official. It can be said that Sun Xiang asked the emperor for the convenience of Li Huan. Recommended, Cai Wen's resume is full of flowers.

But Zhu Houzhao took a look at the famous post, and then at the boxes of gold and silver on the ground, so as not to make it look so ugly.

This is simply a buyer!

With a bang, Zhu Houzhao threw the name post on the ground, and said with a cold face: "Well, it's really a big deal, he made a punishment of one place and the procuratorate was worth 10 taels of gold." Silver, I'm really curious, where did he get so much money from?"

Li Huan stepped forward and picked up the famous post that was thrown on the ground, looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, calm down, people say that in three years, the magistrate has a hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, and the corrupt officials in this world can never be killed."

Zhu Houzhao naturally understood this truth, even if it was the Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang who punished corrupt officials with severe torture, and even stipulated that all officials who had corrupted more than 60% should be stripped of real grass and stood in front of the yamen to serve as an example.

However, those who dare to extend their hands to embezzle are still like crucian carp crossing the river, so it is difficult to prevent corruption even when Taizu was in power, let alone other emperors.

What Zhu Houzhao was angry about was that the procuratorial envoy in one place could hand out tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, so what about other officials?

But soon Zhu Houzhao took a strange look at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing, you took money from others and then sold them. If the inspector Cai found out, he would not hate to die. You."

To be honest, this is the first time he has seen such an operation by Li Huan. Generally speaking, he either refuses to accept it to show his incorruptibility, or accepts bribes from the other party to help the other party. Call to collect money to do things.

But Li Huan was lucky, he just took the money and didn't do anything, and even sold the other party.

Li Huan said with a serious face: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister also left some gold and silver, um, probably worth tens of thousands of taels. Besides, I don't take money and do nothing. You see, the other party wants me to present it to you." Your Majesty’s famous post, haven’t you just read it?”

Listening to Li Huan's serious defense, even Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing.

While laughing, Zhu Houzhao pointed at Li Huan and said, "If you tell Cai Wen what the Qing family said, I'm afraid everyone will be pissed off by you."

When Zhu Houzhao stopped laughing, he glanced at Li Huan and said, "How does Li Qing think this matter should be handled?"

Li Huan said indifferently: "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and said, "Of course Jin Yiwei will be dispatched to dismiss him and investigate..."

Li Huan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's thinking is too simple. If you say that the other party directly refuses to plead guilty, or even conversely says that someone deliberately framed him, Your Majesty can't just send Jin Yiwei to arrest him without evidence. "

Zhu Houzhao pondered for a while, nodded and said, "What does the Qing family mean?"

Li Huan said with a smile: "I don't think it's urgent, so I secretly ordered people to collect evidence of the other party's crimes. On the surface, I will cooperate with the other party to make false claims. Maybe I can get a sum of gold and silver for your majesty."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan with a dazed expression, obviously confused by Li Huan's coquettish operation.

It never occurred to him that Li Huan was thinking of knocking out another sum of gold and silver from the other party.

Pointing at Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao laughed and said, "You, you, forget it, just as the Qing family said."

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao looked at the white gold and silver and said to Qiu Ju and Gao Feng who were serving beside him: "You two companions, send these gold and silver to the inner treasury yourself."

Qiu Ju and Gao Feng looked at Li Huan with strange eyes, and immediately closed the boxes, beckoning a group of servants to carry the boxes away.

Zhu Houzhao watched Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and others leave with his hands behind his back, glanced at Li Huan and said, "The Qing family just said that they left some property, and those things should be regarded as rewards to the Qing family. Some of them were attacked by those speech officials."

Li Huan smiled and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head with a smile and said: "The Qing family has made great achievements this time, and I don't know how to reward you. It just so happens that you entered the palace today. If you have nothing to do, you might as well go to Huangshicheng and Neiku for a walk. suffered."

Speaking of which, Zhu Hou looked at Li Huan and said, "I promised to reward you with a skill earlier, so just taking this opportunity, you should go to these two places to choose."

After the breakthrough of Li Huan's thirteen Taibao Henglian exercises, even if he had the elixir resources rewarded by the emperor, it would not take a while to make a breakthrough, at least for a period of time, he had to rely on water to hone his skills Fan.

Therefore, Li Huan was thinking of finding an opportunity to mention it to the emperor these two days, to see when the emperor's reward would be in place.

After all, he is also planning to choose a skill to practice both internally and externally.

Unexpectedly, before he found a chance to speak, Zhu Houzhao mentioned it himself.

Hearing this, Li Huang immediately bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "This is what I promised you, so go ahead."

Li Huan thanked the emperor, and ran towards Huang Shicheng under the leadership of a servant.

Since he wanted to find it, he naturally had to go to see if the top exercises were collected by the royal family. Li Huan was very curious about what kind of exercises were collected by the royal family in the imperial history.

The Imperial Palace has its own Library Pavilion, but although that Library Pavilion also collects some rare and unique books, it can be regarded as a treasure house, but the real treasures will definitely not be placed in that Library Pavilion.

After all, places like Zangshuge were mainly reserved for officials of the imperial court, and Hanlin bachelors could enter them at will to read and copy books by virtue of their status.

And Huang Shicheng is the real royal secret, almost closed to the outside world.

Under the guidance of the servant, Li Huan soon came to an inconspicuous building.

The whole building is made of bluestone, and there are even more than a dozen huge water tanks around it, and there are always water sources in it.

If it wasn't for someone to guide the way, he really searched in this palace. To be honest, Li Huan really couldn't believe that such an inconspicuous place was Huang Shicheng.

But it's normal to think about it, how can such an unpopular place as Huangshicheng have any sense of existence.

The two young eunuchs were squatting at the entrance of Huangshicheng with a small wooden stick in their hands, busy with something, and when Li Huan approached, they almost couldn't help laughing.

Those two little eunuchs were actually playing with ants there.

The little eunuch who brought Li Huan here also looked dazed, but after being dazed, he coughed and woke up the two little eunuchs.

The two young eunuchs were startled, and quickly got up and threw the wooden sticks aside, looking at Li Huan and the two with nervous faces, they asked, "You...what do you want to do?"

Li Huan didn't open his mouth, but the servant next to him immediately said: "Your Majesty ordered that Xu Jinyiwei command his co-prefect Li Huan to go to Huangshicheng to read the classics."

The two servants were taken aback for a moment, and one of them hurriedly said: "You two wait a moment, I will go to Tongbing."

Li Huan just stood at the entrance of Huangshicheng, looking around, and soon saw a young eunuch about eighteen or nineteen years old coming over, walked up to him, bowed his hands to Li Huan and said: "Since your Majesty Allowed, Mr. Li, please come with Chu."

Li Huan nodded slightly, followed behind the other party, and slowly walked into Huang Shicheng.

After stepping over the stone steps, a sense of coolness came. Looking at the bookish young eunuch in front of him, Li Huan couldn't help asking curiously: "I don't know what to call my father-in-law?"

The eunuch looked back and said with a slight smile: "I am in charge here, Lord Li will call me in charge!"

Speaking of which, the eunuch led Li Huan through a bookshelf, stopped in a certain area, turned around and smiled at Li Huan: "Since Mr. Li came here for the secrets of various exercises collected by the royal family, you might as well look for them here. .”

Li Huan saw that the other party was neither humble nor overbearing, and had a good bearing, so he couldn't help feeling a little fond of him, and slightly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much!"

The young eunuch smiled at Li Huan, and disappeared between the bookshelves in the blink of an eye. When Li Huan looked again, he disappeared.

Li Huan was stunned in his heart, but Li Huan was amazed by the kung fu that the other party showed inadvertently. From the other party, Li Huan faintly felt a sense of familiarity, and secretly guessed in his heart, could it be that the other party was practicing Can't do the exercises?
But soon Li Huan's attention shifted to the row of bookshelves in front of him. According to what the eunuch said just now, all the secret books of exercises collected in Huangshicheng are in this area.

Taking a deep breath, he looked intently, and suddenly the names of the secret books of exercises came into view.

"The Great Shift of the Universe", Note: It comes from the pre-Ming religion advocated Wuji.

"Jiuyang Shengong", Note: It comes from the pre-Ming religion who advocated Wuji.

"Seven Injuries Boxing", Note: From the former Ming religion advocated Wuji.

"Taijiquan", note: from the former Ming religion advocated Wuji.

……

"Nine Yin Scriptures", Note: From Emei Zhou Zhiruo.

"Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon", Note: From Zhou Zhiruo, Emei.

"Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu", Note: It comes from the Royal History of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Yi Jin Jing", note: from Shaolin Temple.

"Tai Chi Heart Sutra", Note: From Wudang.

……

Li Huan was dumbfounded when he saw the names of the secret books of exercises. Is this the foundation of the Ming royal family, or is this the handwriting of the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang?

In particular, the Nine Suns Divine Art, the Great Shift of the Universe, and the Seven Injury Fist are actually marked as being made by Zhang Wuji. Zhang Wuji, how many kung fu did you come up with?
Of course, considering Zhang Wuji's strength, Li Huan is more inclined to threaten Zhang Wuji with people or things that Zhang Wuji cares about. After all, with Zhang Wuji's character, if he threatens the lives of those close to him, Zhang Wuji has no choice but to give in.

He just wanted to come in to find one or two top-notch exercises, but he never imagined that so many exercise secret books were collected here.

That is to say, the royal family. I am afraid that if it is any sect in the world, if it is known that there are so many top-notch exercises and cheats, it will be wiped out by the entire world the next day.

Now that Li Huan looked at so many top-notch exercises, he hesitated. Which one is better for him to choose?

Looking at this one and wanting to practice, and then looking at the other one, his heart is still moving, Li Huan just stood there hesitating.

Suddenly, Li Huan's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to take the Nine Suns Divine Art in front of him. Why do he think about it so much? There is plenty of time to think about which one to practice. Isn't the most important thing right now? Can you write it down?

With Li Huan's photographic memory, it is not difficult to memorize these exercises.

So in Huang Shicheng, except for Li Huan's movement in this corner, which kept flipping through the secret books of various exercises, there was silence everywhere.

Before he knew it, and he didn't know how long it had passed, when Li Huan held the last exercise secret book in his hand, he looked down and couldn't help being stunned.

"Sunflower Book"

The four big characters came into view, and the corners of Li Huan's mouth twitched. He had wondered whether the eunuch who brought him in had cultivated the Sunflower Book, but now he looked at it, and it turned out that there was indeed a Sunflower Book in the palace.
