Chapter 186 I, Li Huan, Are Going to Form a Party 【Request】

Zhang Lun nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said: "What Ma'am said is true, today's matter is really due to Li Huan, so there is no trouble."

Su smiled lightly and said, "If my concubine remembers correctly, didn't the old Duke say that he wanted to find a marriage for Aunt Jin?"

Zhang Lun raised his brows, and said in his heart, "Could it be that Madam is there any suitable candidate?"

Su said slowly: "Looking at it as a concubine, a person like Aunt Jin who has both good looks and good looks is also a girl from our British government. How can an ordinary person who is waiting for nothing be worthy of Aunt Jin."

Zhang Lun nodded, waiting quietly for Su's next words.

Su said with a smile: "My concubine remembers that my husband once said that my grandfather seemed to have a crush on someone who could be my son-in-law in the British government. If I remember correctly, this person should be Li Huan."

Zhang Lun turned around slightly and glanced at Mrs. Su, nodded and said, "Madam is right, grandpa really wanted to match Li Huan and Aunt Jin, but it's a pity..."

Thinking that my grandfather hadn't had time to do this, but he suffered such bad luck and left.

However, Zhang Lun's eyes flashed brightly when he thought of his grandfather's arrangement before he died.

If Zhang Lun only had this intention before, then after experiencing something during the day, Zhang Lun deeply realized the situation that their British government is facing now.

Under such circumstances, it is particularly important for the British government to marry Li Huan, the emperor's favorite minister.

Mrs. Su has been paying attention to the changes in Zhang Lun's expression all the time. Sensing the expression on Zhang Lun's face, Mrs. Su smiled and said: "I think that Grandpa really knows people with eyes. If our British government can get married with Li Huan, If a beauty matches a hero, then it will definitely become a good story for a while."

Zhang Lun glanced at Mrs. Su and said, "So Madam actually thinks we should get married?"

Su nodded and said: "Of course it should, one is to live up to Grandpa's last wish, the other is to find a good match for Aunt Jin, and the third is to find a strong support for my British government, such a beautiful thing, why not Why not?"

Zhang Lun pondered for a while, nodded his head slightly and said: "If it is as Madam said, being able to marry Li Huan will be a good relationship."

Speaking of Zhang Lun's face showing some hesitation and hesitation, Su noticed Zhang Lun's expression and asked in confusion: "What's the matter, Mr. Xiang?"

Zhang Lun sighed softly and said, "First of all, we don't know Li Huan's thoughts. This person can be trusted by the emperor and is in a high position, so he naturally has his own ideas. He will definitely think twice before making a decision on such a big matter as marrying a wife. Next. We have nothing here, the key is whether Li Huan will agree."

Su Shi laughed and said: "What is the concubine worried about when she is a husband? It turns out that she is only concerned about this, not a concubine who is boasting. Our Aunt Jin is such a character. It is the so-called young Mu Ai. If Li Huan meets her, she will definitely fall in love with her." .”

Zhang Lun nodded, and said again; "One more thing is that grandpa is newly mourned. According to the rules, as a child, you have to observe mourning for three years, and you are not allowed to marry during the three years."

Hearing what Zhang Lun said, Su's complexion changed slightly, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said with a look of embarrassment on her face: "What Xianggong said is that Aunt Jin is the daughter of the old Duke. If this is the case, the old Duke keeps his filial piety, the three-year period is indeed too long, and you can only get married after three years, wouldn't you miss out on such a good relationship like Li Huan?"

Speaking of this, Su looked at Zhang Lun and said, "With Li Huan's conditions, I'm afraid it won't take long. Someone will want to marry him, and at Li Huan's age, it's impossible to wait until three years later. What's the matter?" Is good."

Zhang Lun frowned, patted Su Shi's hand and said: "No hurry, no hurry, the most important thing right now is to settle the matter behind Grandpa, even if you want to consider these things, you have to discuss it with your little aunt. "

Little did he know that Li Huan, who was already thinking about getting married to him, was heading towards the Imperial Prison.

In the depths of the imperial prison, in a slightly tidy cell, a faint smell of medicinal herbs rushed towards his face, and a figure sat cross-legged on a wooden bed, it was not Liu Jin, whoever it was.

Obviously, in this prison, Liu Jin's treatment is much better than in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. At least no one tortures him here, and even helps Liu Jin treat his wounds.

Liu Jin sat there, carrying Zhou Tian, ​​slowly nourishing her body, her complexion looked quite pale.

In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Liu Jin was tortured severely. After a few days, his vitality was already damaged. That is to say, Liu Jin relied on his inner breath to support himself. Otherwise, at his age, he might be like Jiao Fang. Generally, he is in the prison of the Ministry of Death Penalty.

But even so, even if Liu Jin survived when his vitality was hurt, his lifespan would be lost, and he might not have a few more years to live.

There was a sound of footsteps, Liu Jin heard the footsteps getting closer, raised her eyebrows, opened her eyes and looked towards the entrance of the cell.

When seeing Li Huan, Liu Jin got up slowly, got out of the bed, and said to Li Huan who walked up to him: "Our family has met Mr. Li."

Li Huan sized Liu Jin up, and with Li Huan's medical skills, he could tell Liu Jin's physical condition at a glance, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Liu is in better shape."

Liu Jin nodded and said: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Master Li for ordering someone to heal our family's injuries. Otherwise, our family's life may really be lost."

Li Huan said indifferently: "Eunuch Liu doesn't need to thank you, Li is just following orders, and it is related to the treason case. Before the investigation is clear, if something happens to Eunuch Liu, how will Li explain to His Majesty!"

Liu Jin wanted to see Li Huan for this reason, and immediately bowed to Li Huan and said, "Our family has something to ask Mr. Li for accommodation."

After glancing at Liu Jin, Li Huan said calmly, "Oh, I don't know what's going on with Eunuch Liu. Even though he said it bluntly, whatever Li can do, he will definitely do what Eunuch Liu wants."

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jin raised her head, looked at Li Huan and said, "Our family wants to see His Majesty."

Li Huan looked extremely calm when he heard this, as if he was not surprised by Liu Jin's request.

Liu Jin saw Li Huan's expression in his eyes, and thought that Li Huan would be very surprised when he heard his words, but he never thought that Li Huan's reaction would be so flat.

His heart sank slightly, and he thought to himself, did Li Huan disagree?
Thinking of my past relationship with Li Huan, it would not be surprising if Li Huan disagreed. After all, if he was in Li Huan's position, he might not agree.

He sighed in his heart, if he had known that Li Huan had such good luck, he might not have been as fussy as Li Huan back then.

When thinking about this in her heart, Liu Jin showed a bitter smile and said: "Since Mr. Li refuses to agree, let's pretend that our family didn't mention it. Our family also knows that this is some delusional thinking of our family."

At this moment, Li Huan suddenly laughed and said: "What does Li want to do when he is still Liu Gonggong? It turned out that he just wanted to see His Majesty. This matter is simple..."

"what!"

When Liu Jin heard the words, she immediately looked up in surprise and amazement, and suddenly looked up at Li Huan, obviously a little in disbelief at Li Huan's words.

After all, Li Huan's words were beyond his expectation.

Li Huan nodded and said: "Although I can't take Eunuch Liu to see His Majesty, I can help Eunuch Liu to send a message to His Majesty. Whether His Majesty is willing to see Eunuch Liu is not up to Li to decide."

Hearing what Li Huan said, Liu Jin immediately bowed deeply to Li Huan and said: "Master Li understands the righteousness. In the past, our family was a small belly, and he used the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman. If there is any offense in the past, I also ask Master Li to forgive me a lot."

Li Huan laughed loudly and said, "Eunuch Liu is joking."

After glancing at Liu Jin, Li Huan said again: "If Eunuch Liu has nothing to do, Li will leave now. When Li enters the palace to meet His Majesty tomorrow, he will definitely convey the message for Eunuch Liu."

Liu Jin saluted and said, "Liu Jin respectfully sends Master Li off!"

Chen Ke accompanied Li Huan out of the prison, along the way Chen Ke's face was full of puzzlement, Li Huan glanced at Chen Ke and said with a smile: "Look at Ziming, you look puzzled all the way, what are you thinking?" ?”

Chen Ke looked at Li Huan and said, "My lord, I don't understand, why should my lord speak for Liu Jin, in case Liu Jin makes a comeback..."

Li Huan smiled and said, "Isn't that good?"

Chen Ke was taken aback when he heard the words, and followed behind Li Huan with a pondering expression on his face, obviously thinking about what Li Huan said.

紫禁城

The Forbidden City under the rising sun was full of solemnity, and in the small school grounds, Zhu Houzhao was practicing martial arts under the service of Qiu Ju and Gao Feng.

After falling into a coma once, Zhu Houzhao paid more and more attention to his health, especially when Li Huan told him afterwards that he was able to withstand the attack of the toxin and persist until he woke up thanks to the basaltic breathing method to save his life.

If it weren't for the basalt breath method to save his life, and the practice of dragon and elephant prajna to make his body strong and powerful, maybe this time he, the emperor, would not be able to persist in Li Huan's return.

So Zhu Houzhao got up early in the morning to practice on the small school ground for a while.

When Li Huan saw the emperor, he saw that Zhu Houzhao was doing a set of boxing. When the emperor finished the boxing, Li Huan smiled and said: "Your Majesty really deserves to be the dragon of the Tian family. His body recovered very quickly. In a day or two at most, it will be back to normal if you think about it."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Li Huan and said: "What kind of dragon species from the Tian family is just a lie, and I am no different from ordinary people, what kind of dragon is really from the Tian family, how could it be almost poisoned to death. "

This is not easy to answer, Li Huan couldn't help coughing lightly.

Zhu Houzhao took the tea from Qiu Ju, and after rinsing his mouth, he said to Li Huan, "Li Qing came to see me early in the morning. Could it be that there is something wrong? Could it be that the treason case has come to fruition?"

Li Huan looked straight and said: "Return to Your Majesty, although it is said that some rebels have been pried open and some accomplices have been arrested, but who is behind the scenes has not yet been found out. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "It's not a crime, but it's a serious crime of conspiracy. If the person behind the scenes is so easy to find out, then the other party is too careless. Don't worry. I have a lot of patience. I will investigate slowly. As long as there is such a person, I don't believe it can't be found out."

Li Huan nodded and said: "What your Majesty said is that I will definitely investigate this matter strictly, and I will never stop until the person behind the scenes is caught."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Has Li Qing eaten, how about eating with me?"

Li Huan shook his head and said: "Go back to Your Majesty, I have already eaten."

Zhu Houzhao didn't force it. After breakfast, Li Huan accompanied Zhu Houzhao into the imperial study. Zhu Houzhao said seriously, "Is there anything else?"

Li Huan nodded slightly and said: "Return to Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei has already investigated the matter of Liu Jin's party, and the matter of treason should have nothing to do with Liu Jin's party."

Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "You don't need to check me to know, but the other party used Liu Jin's court lady to frame Liu Jin, but he, Liu Jin, is equally involved."

As he said that, Zhu Hou took a look at Li Huan and said, "Tell me, does Liu Jin have anything to say to me?"

After all, they have been monarchs and ministers for more than ten years, just like Liu Jin knows Zhu Houzhao, so Zhu Houzhao doesn't know Liu Jin.

Li Huan laughed and said, "Your Majesty really sees Wanli clearly, even Eunuch Liu can guess that he wants to see His Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help sighing softly when he heard the words: "When I was not very old, Liu Jin was selected by my father to accompany me. Rather than being a slave, he is actually no different from my partners and relatives. I have never regarded them as slaves. "

When Gao Feng and Qiu Ju heard the words, their eyes turned red immediately, obviously knowing that Zhu Houzhao's words not only included Liu Jin, but also included them.

Hearing that Zhu Houzhao treated them as relatives and partners, how could Gao Feng and Qiu Ju not be moved by it.

Li Huan was not surprised when he stopped the emperor's words. If other emperors said that they treated the eunuchs around them as relatives, no one would believe it, but if it was Zhu Houzhao, Li Huan would not doubt it.

Zhu Houzhao has a temperament of sincerity and affection, and treats people around him very well, Li Huan is deeply touched by this.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Houzhao said to Li Huan: "Li Qing thinks how should I deal with Liu Jin?"

Li Huan was slightly taken aback, and immediately said: "Return to Your Majesty, I think it is better for Your Majesty to decide on this matter."

Zhu Houzhao glared at Li Huan and said, "If I tell you to say it, just say it."

Li Huan coughed lightly, and said with a serious expression on his face: "Your Majesty, I think that although Eunuch Liu is at fault, the crime is not worthy of death. Besides, the existence of Eunuch Liu is still indispensable in the court. My opinion is that Eunuch Liu should take the blame and make meritorious service." , take back the Supervisor of Rituals, and share the worries of His Majesty."

Zhu Hou took care of Li Huan and said, "Li Qing is really open-minded, and he can speak for Liu Jin without any suspicion. I really should let that old Liu Jin hear it for himself."

Li Huan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's absurd praise, the minister is just speaking from the heart."

Glancing at Qiu Ju at the side, Zhu Houzhao said: "Qiu Daban, since that's the case, go to the imperial prison and tell Liu Jin exactly what Li Qing said to me just now, and then ask him to take it with you. Get those people out of here and go to the Supervisor of Rituals, and go and do things for me."

The emperor's words obviously pardoned Liu Jin and his henchmen who were implicated by Liu Jin.

Hearing this, Qiu Ju hurriedly said, "This old slave is leading the order."

In the capital, in a quiet courtyard, two figures sat facing each other.

These two people are both dressed in green shirts, one is old and the other is middle-aged. The old man is about seventy years old, and the young man is about twenty.

The old man looked like a person who had been in power for a long time, and the young man was full of brilliance and nobility, so he must be from an extraordinary background.

The young man poured a cup of tea for the old man respectfully, then brought it to the old man and said, "Mushai Gong, please!"

The old man glanced at the young man appreciatively, and nodded slightly.

Watching the old man take a sip of tea, the young man couldn't help but looked at the old man earnestly and said, "Mushai Gong, what's going on, the news in the capital has been chaotic these days, and the news from my subordinates..."

Hearing the words, the old man sighed softly: "The heavens have no eyes, the one in the palace escaped a catastrophe, so that my calculations are on the verge of failure."

Even if the young man was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help showing disappointment after hearing the old man's words: "Could it be true that the traitor Li Huan entered the palace and rescued the emperor as it was said outside? ?”

The old man looked up at the young man and said, "Don't you already know, Young Master? Now that the situation in central Beijing has stabilized, the people under Young Master must have found out what happened."

With a bang, the young man hit the table with his fist, which only shook the teacup on the table slightly, causing the tea to rippling.

"I'm not reconciled! Such a great situation, it seems that the overall situation is about to be settled, but just because of a mere Li Huan, such a great situation has been ruined. I waited for all the calculations, and countless efforts were wasted."

The young man's face was full of resentment and resentment, his fists were clenched tightly, and he exuded a fierce murderous intent.

"If you spoil me and wait for a major event, Li Huan really deserves to be killed. If you don't kill Li Huan, I will not be able to get rid of my anger!"

Hearing the words, the old man also had a flash of hatred in his eyes, but after taking a deep breath, he stroked his beard and shook his head slightly: "Since the general situation is over, young master, it's better not to make extra troubles, this time Li Huan is a thief who is trying to seek the capital. , go around arresting the implicated officials, if the young master troubles Li Huan at this time, I'm afraid it will backfire and set him on fire."

The young man took a long breath, the anger on his face remained undiminished, but he suppressed the anger in his heart and cupped his hands to the old man: "Sir, I have paid so much, so is it really the case?"

The old man sighed: "The old man is not unwilling, but even if he is unwilling, what can be done, don't forget, the emperor has woken up, and even Feng Hai, who is in charge of the first battalion in Beijing, failed to counterattack. It has been decided, no matter how many calculations there are, there is nothing to do."

As he said that, the old man glanced at the young man and said: "Young master, leave the capital as soon as possible, so as not to be noticed, and your father will be implicated at that time, then it will be very bad."

The young master sighed softly: "Before I sent someone to tell my father to enter the capital as soon as possible to seize the opportunity, but it only took two or three days, but I have to leave the capital in despair. I really don't know how to face my father."

The old man smiled and said: "Young master, please tell your father that one failure is nothing, as long as you have firm belief, there will always be opportunities."

The young master nodded slightly at the old man and said: "In that case, I will listen to the master."

As he spoke, the young master slowly got up, bowed to the old man, and left slowly.

After the young man left, a figure came out from the darkness, walked up to the old man and said, "Master, what shall we do next?"

The old man picked up the cup of tea that was still warm and drank it down in one gulp, and said with a light smile, "Go home!"

As the old man left, the originally quiet courtyard fell into silence.

However, when the young master left the other courtyard, several men in strong attire appeared behind the young man. When the leader of the scribe saw the young man walking out of the courtyard, he stepped forward to the young man with a somewhat concerned expression on his face. Said: "Young master, what did you say?"

There was a bit of anger on the young man's face, he looked around and said in a low voice, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

A group of people avoided the flow of people and quietly entered a private house.

If someone checks secretly, they will find that there are no less than a dozen strong and powerful men hiding around this residential house.

The group of young people walked into the private house, as if they entered their own territory, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man sat down and said to the scribe, "Sir, sit down too."

The scribe then bowed his hands to the young man, and then sat down respectfully opposite the young man. Just by looking at his manners, he could tell that the young man opposite him had an unusual identity.

"Son!"

The young man let out a long sigh and said, "Failed! We have worked so hard for so long, but because of one person, everything was lost."

When the scribes heard this, their eyes darkened. In fact, according to the information they had collected, they had already guessed that such a result would happen, but their young master was unwilling and insisted on meeting that person.

Sure enough, even though that person has a wide network of contacts, he is obviously powerless when the general situation is gone.

Because he had been psychologically prepared, the scribe was not too disappointed, but just looked at the young man with an expression of unwillingness.

Scholar can somewhat understand the young man's mood. After all, for anyone, when the big event is about to happen, and the seat is almost at hand, the fruit of victory that is almost at hand is gone. It would be strange if he could keep calm Woolen cloth.

The young man's eyes were filled with anger, and his murderous intent was revealed: "Sir, everything is because of that Li Huan, if he hadn't suddenly returned to the capital to save the emperor, the overall situation must be settled now, as long as father rushes in front of everyone Entering Beijing, this world..."

The scribe heard the anger in the young man's heart, sighed softly and said: "My lord, maybe this is because that person should not die."

With a bang, the young man said angrily: "What fate should not be terminated? That foolish king who favors traitorous people like Liu Jin and Li Huan, allows Liu Jin to disrupt the court and implement new policies. If this continues, the great Ming Dynasty will definitely be destroyed by him." This prodigal son can't do it."

The scribes dare not speak.

After the young man vented his anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "The Hun Lord is now using Li Huan as his minion to take people everywhere, but we can only watch. My son is unwilling."

The scribe looked at the young man and comforted him, "What does that guy say?"

The young man snorted coldly and said, "That old thing told me to leave Beijing immediately, obviously because I was afraid."

The scribe slightly nodded and said: "This is also normal. The man who has been in the ups and downs of his life is the best at protecting himself. Under such circumstances, if he does not suggest that the young master leave Beijing, that would be a strange thing."

As he spoke, the scribe stroked his beard, and said confidently: "If I guess correctly, that person has probably quietly left Beijing right now!"

The young man was slightly taken aback, and quickly reacted: "Hmph, the old man cherishes his life the most. It's good for him to leave. There are not a few of his disciples and old officials who have fallen into it this time. What if someone bites him out?" , it will be bad if it affects us."

The scribe heard the words and said in a low voice: "Young master, don't we want to leave Beijing?"

There was a strange look in the young man's eyes and he said: "Of course I have to leave the capital. After all, the general situation is over. It will be futile for me to stay in the capital. It's better to go back and make preparations, waiting for the right time."

The scribe heard the words and praised: "Young master's words are very true. With the actions of that stupid king, I will definitely have a chance in the future! When he comes every day, I will kill him and return to the capital."

The young man suddenly said: "But before leaving Beijing, I have one more thing to do."

The scribe looked at the murderous intent in the young man's eyes, and for some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Looking at the young man in amazement, the scribe couldn't help but said, "My lord, you..."

The young man said coldly to the scribe: "I have put in countless painstaking efforts and finally saw the hope of success, but it was because of Li Huan's traitor that all my efforts were in vain. If my son is like this How can I be willing to leave Beijing in despair."

The ominous feeling in the scholar's heart became stronger and stronger, and he subconsciously said: "Young master, you don't want to do something to Li Huan, do you?"

A bright and ferocious smile suddenly appeared on the young man's face, and he nodded slowly under the worried gaze of the scribe, "Mr. still knows me."

The scribe couldn't help shaking his head and said, "No, my lord!"

The young man was not surprised by the scribe's reaction, but just smiled and said: "Sir, my father asked you to stay with me because he wanted you to advise me. I will listen to my husband for other things, but only this matter, I hope sir can help me."

The scribe frowned and said, "Young master, how can you be influenced by your emotions when you do something important? Your subordinates know that you hate Li Huan to the bone. Not only you, but also your subordinates would like to smash Li Huan, a thief, into thousands of pieces. It's a big taboo to raise troops in anger, so please take the overall situation as the most important thing."

Seeing that the scribe still wanted to persuade himself, but the young man was only full of anger and wanted to kill Li Huan, so how could he listen, and said directly to the scribe: "That's enough, my son has made up his mind, sir. Don't say any more."

The scribe froze, seeing the firm expression in the young man's eyes, he could only let out a long sigh.

At this moment, the young man offered a cup of tea to the scribe and said, "Please, sir, make a plan for me. If I don't kill Li Huan, I will not be able to dispel my anger."

The scribe looked at the young man, and could only show a wry smile and said: "Forget it, since the young master insists on this, then the old man will accompany the young master to fight once, but the young master must guarantee that everything will follow the old man's arrangement."

Hearing this, the young man smiled a little in his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll listen to sir."

In the prison, Qiu Ju appeared in front of Liu Jin's cell.

When Qiu Ju saw Liu Jin, who was covered in scars and in a panic, he couldn't help showing a bit of surprise on his face.

Although he had already guessed that Liu Jin had been imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice before, given how much those people hated Liu Jin, it would definitely not make Liu Jin feel better.

But Qiu Ju didn't expect that Liu Jin would be made so miserable. Even when he came just now, the Jinyiwei official who led him in told him that if Li Huan hadn't arrived in time, Liu Jin might have been killed. People were killed.

While Qiu Ju was looking at Liu Jin, Liu Jin was also looking at Qiu Ju.

In the past, when they were by Zhu Houzhao's side, there was still some affection between the eight tigers, but since Zhu Houzhao became the emperor, there was obviously a rift between the eight tigers, and they fought openly and secretly with each other, so the affection naturally faded a lot.

It's just that when the two meet each other now, they are full of emotions.

When Liu Jin saw Qiu Ju, she couldn't bear the joy in her heart, got up and walked towards Qiu Ju.

If the Son of Heaven refused to see him, then he would definitely not have sent Qiu Ju. Since the Son of Heaven sent Qiu Ju, he must have forgiven him.

As long as the emperor forgives him, Liu Jin, then he can make a comeback, and he will return to those people everything that those people have done to him.

Qiu Ju sighed softly: "Brother Liu, I never thought we would meet again under such circumstances."

Listening to Qiu Ju's words full of emotion, Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Thinking about how glorious Liu Jin was before, he was in power for a while, but he was reduced to a prisoner in an instant.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jin cupped his hands at Qiu Ju and said, "Brother Qiu, but Your Majesty sent you here to call me into the palace?"

Qiu Ju looked at Liu Jin, with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Liu, you really want to thank Brother Li Huan this time, if he hadn't said something nice for you in front of His Majesty, maybe you I'm going to spend my whole life in this prison."

Liu Jin was taken aback for a moment, with a look of astonishment on his face, obviously confused by Qiu Ju's words.

Although he also knew that Li Huan didn't seem to have much hostility towards him, this can be seen from the fact that he asked Li Huan to help him see the emperor, and Li Huan didn't refuse him.

But Liu Jinyi's most important thing for Li Huan was to help him speak, but from what Qiu Ju said, it seemed that Li Huan also helped him speak well in front of the emperor.

As the emperor's close servant, Liu Jin naturally knew Zhu Houzhao's temperament, and he valued the words of the trusted people around him.

Given Li Huan's position in the heart of the emperor, if he really said a few good words for him, the effect it would have would be great.

At the same time, Liu Jin's heart tightened slightly, because the meaning of Qiu Ju's words was very clear, the emperor was obviously angry with him, but he only wanted to see him because Li Huan spoke for him.

Just thinking about this, Qiu Ju told Liu Jin the process of the emperor asking Li Huan for his opinion, and Li Huan speaking to the emperor again.

After Liu Jin listened, she understood why Li Huan said that, and at the same time, she was full of gratitude to Li Huan.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jin bowed in the direction of the imperial city, then looked at Qiu Ju and said, "Brother Qiu, has your majesty not seen our house?"

Qiu Ju nodded slightly and said: "Your Majesty ordered you to take your people and take care of the Supervisor of Ceremonies."

Liu Jin felt a little disappointed in his heart. Although it was said that the emperor let him take over the head of the ceremonial supervisor, which naturally encouraged Liu Jin, the emperor did not summon him, which clearly showed that the emperor was beating him.

But no matter what, at least the emperor still trusts him, and this is what Liu Jin is most happy about.

It can even be said that this has exceeded Liu Jin's expectations. In Liu Jin's expectation, the emperor would see him, and at most he would let him go. As for taking charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies again, Liu Jin never thought about it.

Seeing Liu Jin's dazed appearance, Qiu Ju smiled at Liu Jin and said, "Okay, I've delivered His Majesty's oral order, brother Liu, you can take this token and take those under your command away. "

Hearing this, Liu Jin took the token from Qiu Ju, and said to Qiu Ju, "Brother Qiu, tell Your Majesty for me, and say that this old slave will definitely not disappoint His Majesty."

Qiu Ju paused, and smiled slightly: "Our family knows, remember to go and thank Brother Li after you go out."

Liu Jin watched Qiu Ju's figure disappear into the distance, heaved a sigh of relief, looked at the token in his hand, and immediately said to a prisoner beside him: "Take our family to see Liu Yu, Zhang Cai and the others. .”

Maoyan Lane

Ever since Li Huan received a reward from the emperor and moved into this Maoyan Alley, this alley has no longer been as lively as it used to be.

After all, Li Huan's reputation is well known, and how many officials in the court and central government dare to join Li Huan's side, not to mention other things, just because his Li Huan walks too close may attract hundreds of officials to attack him.

Therefore, many people who live in the vicinity often lament in private that when Xie Qian and Xie Ge lived in Maoyan Lane, there were always cars passing by in this alley on weekdays, and the traffic was either high-ranking officials or dignitaries. .It's just that after changing the owner, the family suddenly became scattered, and there was no car coming for a long time.

Creaking, a carriage slowly passed by Maoyan Alley, and a middle-aged man on the carriage acted as a groom, driving an unremarkable carriage slowly from a distance.

When the carriage passed Maoyan Lane, a corner of the curtain above the carriage was gently lifted by a person, revealing an old face.

Looking at the mansion in the distance that didn't seem to have changed much, on that old face, I couldn't help showing a bit of nostalgia.

Creaking, the carriage slowly passed by, and gradually disappeared into the distance.

Behind Li Huan was surrounded by a team of Jinyiwei, who rode on horseback and appeared in front of the gate of Maoyan Lane.

Chen Yao hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Huan lead the horse, Li Huan got off the horse and prepared to go back home.

Suddenly, his eyes swept over not far away, and his brows raised involuntarily.

A carriage parked there quietly in the distance, and a figure was slowly walking towards him.

The person who came looked about forty years old and was dressed in official uniform. It was obvious that this person came for Li Huan.

To be honest, since Li Huan moved here, except for the officials inside the Jinyiwei, none of the civil and military officials in the court dared to come to see him.

If you really want to say, this person is really the first person to come to his mansion to meet him.

Not to mention anything else, based on this alone, Li Huan became a bit curious about this man. Don't look at him now as the admiral of the Chinese army and the governor of the capital. Jinyiwei, an intelligence agency, can be said to have monstrous power.

But the vast majority of officials in this court only fear him without the slightest respect.

Li Huan looked at the official walking towards him with interest, with a smile on his lips.

Under Li Huan's gaze, the official seemed to feel some pressure, but he kept walking towards Li Huan.

Walking up to Li Huan, he heard the other party bow to Li Huan, and then respectfully said: "Chen Cang, a doctor of the official household department, a native of Fuzhou, Fujian, pay homage to the Taifu!"

Li Huan had several official positions, including Grand Tutor, Governor of the Central Army, and Commander of the Jinyiwei. It is not an exaggeration for Chen Cang to call Li Huan the Grand Tutor.

Li Huan couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard the other party's self-report, but he didn't expect that the other party was from Fuzhou, Fujian.

In this era, if the two get closer, in the eyes of outsiders, they will be out-and-out country party members.

But Li Huan looked at Chen Cang calmly.

There were faint beads of sweat on Chen Cang's forehead. It was obvious that his heart was not as calm as it appeared. After all, he made up his mind to come to see Li Huan because he wanted to hug Li Huan's thigh.

But he didn't know what Li Huan's attitude towards him was. After all, Li Huan had a bad reputation. If he was unlucky and angered Li Huan because of what he did today, then he would really be... Stealing chickens won't cost you money, or you might be thrown into prison by Li Huan.

Li Huan didn't speak, Chen Cang was full of fear and uneasiness.

Fortunately, when Chen Cang was about to be unable to bear the pressure, Li Huan's voice rang in his ears: "Mr. Chen came to see me, but what's the matter?"

Hearing Li Huan's voice, Chen Cang took a deep breath like hearing the sounds of nature, and said respectfully to Li Huan: "Return to the Grand Tutor, I am willing to do my best for you, I just hope you can accept it."

Li Huan frowned, glanced at Chen Cang and said: "Oh, you are not afraid of taking refuge in me, being regarded as Li's party member, and being criticized by all officials at that time?"

Chen Cang was overjoyed when he heard the words, looked at Li Huan and said firmly, "I'm not afraid of you, I'm just afraid that the adults won't accept you."

Li Huan's eyes fell on Chen Cang, as if he wanted to see through Chen Cang's heart, and Chen Cang also knew how important this moment was to him, so he tried his best to keep calm.

Suddenly Li Huan said calmly: "Then you come and tell me, why should I accept you?"

Hearing this, Chen Cang's face flashed with joy, and at the same time, he solemnly bowed to Li Huan and said, "Returning to my lord, as the saying goes, a single tree cannot make a forest. My lord has His Majesty's favor, and it is not difficult to gain a foothold in the court. However, if your lord wants to display your ambitions in the court, then you must have a group of people who can be used as wings to wave the flag for your lord and carry out your will."
