Chapter 317

Wang Jia, who had such a thought in his mind, suddenly felt extremely excited, and a great sense of responsibility rose up. Everything he did was to share the worries of the emperor and to protect the peace of the court. anyone.

For a moment, Wang Yan's mood was agitated, and a little flush appeared on his originally old face.

Looking at the civil and military officials who prostrated themselves on the ground, many of them were former students and officials he was very familiar with, the moment his eyes met Chen Wenliang, the censor of Zuodu, Wang Jia took a deep breath, strode forward, and stepped forward. Step by step, he bowed to Zhu Houzhao who was sitting there and said: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

As Wang Jia took a step, the eyes of all the civil and military people in front of Qianqing Palace turned to Wang Jia.

Compared with the officials who stood up to impeach Li Huan before, the highest rank was Chen Wenliang, Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although the momentum was quite large, the real core officials above the court did not end in person.

The elders of the court still acted as spectators, so don't look at the turmoil among the officials, but if there is no elder in the court, the impeachment against Li Huan and Wang Yangming will be inferior.

Because of this, when Wang Jia, a cabinet minister, left the stage in person, it can be said that everyone present was staring at Wang Jia, wanting to see what Wang Jia had to say.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on Wang Jia, and he said slowly, "Does Wang Qing have a play?"

Wang Jia met Zhu Houzhao's gaze, raised his head, his face seemed to be shining with the glory of being responsible for the common people in the world, and said resolutely: "I invite you to punish the country's thieves."

Hearing Wang Jia's words, the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground were immediately refreshed and looked at the emperor full of expectation.

Now that the crowd is raging, and even the cabinet ministers are personally off, even if the emperor wants to defend this time, he may have to consider the attitude of all the officials.

All the nobles nearby glared at Wang Jia when they heard the words, Zhu Fu, the Duke of Cheng, pointed at Wang Jia and cursed: "Wang Jizhi, you should tell me clearly who the national thief is, and who is it?" Is it a national thief?"

Facing Zhu Fu's furious scolding, Wang Jia just glanced at Zhu Fu with a bit of disdain, and said lightly: "Mr. Cheng, the national thief I'm talking about is Li Huan, a young man who gained power, is rampant and brutal, and can't see it." Ji, killing innocent people indiscriminately, who has no king, no father, lawlessness, and plots against the sky, is not a national traitor, who is a national traitor?"

Wang Jia's words can be said to be resounding and decisive. As soon as the words fell, they immediately won the response of many officials. Some officials even kowtowed to the emperor and said: "I implore your majesty to punish Li Huan, the traitor of the country, so as to set the court order."

"Your Majesty, please punish the country's traitor!"

"Punish country thieves!"

All of a sudden, on the square in front of Qianqing Palace, almost half of the officials shouted, and the momentum was terrifying.

At the same time, Wang Jia took a step forward, raised his head and said to Zhu Fu: "Duke Cheng, can you see it? This is the people's hearts, this is the general trend. If you don't punish Li Huan, how can you secure the hearts of China and foreign countries, and the hearts of all people in the world. "

Cheng Guogong Zhu Fuqi said angrily: "Well, you Wang Jizhi, you are so clever, you framed the important ministers of the imperial court, and the merits of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in exchange for bloody battles were ignored by you. You still have court officials in your eyes Faji, is there still His Majesty?"

There was a bit of indifference in Wang Jia's eyes. Li Huanjing's battle has already become a major trend. With the support of Wu Youxungui's group, Wen You and Wang Yangming and other civil servants, once he is allowed to return to the court smoothly, who will win the battle in the next few decades? As for his opponent, who can suppress this powerful and powerful man who has achieved success at a young age.

As time goes by, if Li Huansheng has two minds, the society will be in danger of being overthrown, and he, Wang Jia, should be the emperor to punish this hidden danger.

While thinking about it, Wang Jia sneered and said, "When will I ignore the merits of hundreds of thousands of soldiers? I only ask Li Huan and Wang Yangming to be punished. What do you have to do with the soldiers of the three armies?"

Speaking of which, Wang Jia no longer paid attention to Cheng Guogong, but turned his attention to the emperor sitting there, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Li Huan and Wang Yangming take the army as the most important thing. They don't respect the court's decrees, and they have the heart of treason." If it is clear, I implore Your Majesty to kill Li Huan in order to secure the country."

The civil and military forces who impeached Li Huan and Wang Yangming immediately shouted: "I implore your majesty to kill Li Huan so that the country can be safe."

Just behind Baiguan, Li Huan in a black cloak stood with his hands behind his hands, watching the impeachment of Baiguan not far away with a calm expression.

Standing beside Li Huan, the commander of imperial guards, Chu Huan, couldn't help looking worriedly at Wang Jia and the others in the distance, and then at Li Huan.

Meng Wei, who was dressed in armor and tall and straight, had a bad temper, otherwise, he would not have been able to confront Zheng Guang, the general who fled the battle.

Because Li Huan led the army to arrive in time, Meng Wei escaped unharmed. Since then, Meng Wei has been loyal to Li Huan and has no second thoughts.

This time when he returned to Beijing, Li Huan also ordered Meng Wei's generals, because Meng Wei and several generals in the army who had made great contributions followed Li Huan to Beijing to meet the emperor.

He was just born in a low-level military family, and relying on his own efforts, he climbed up from the bottom bit by bit. It can be said that Meng Wei hates those people who don't have the ability.

In Meng Wei's eyes, Li Huan defeated the Tatars in the first battle, and together with Wang Yangming wiped out more than [-] elite Tatars. Looking at the world, it can be said that no one can match him, but he is a figure like a war god in the army.

I thought that when I returned to Beijing this time, with Li Huan's meritorious service, the princes in the court would definitely respect Li Huan, but what Meng Wei didn't expect was that at the court meeting, he They didn't see the kindness of the Dukes of Gun and Gun towards Li Huan and their meritorious soldiers. Instead, a group of people framed Li Huan and Wang Yangming who had just made great contributions to Daming with unwarranted charges.

Especially looking at Wang Jia's appearance at this moment, Meng Wei couldn't help flashing a ferocious look in his eyes, and suddenly flew forward, shouting: "Traitor, dare to spit blood, frame the general, the general!" The general is loyal to the country, how can you and other cowardly bastards be able to frame him!"

The sound of Meng Wei's cessation of drinking sounded like a thunderbolt on the square in front of Qianqing Palace, which directly stunned all the civil and military officials present, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

Many officials were filled with astonishment, who the hell dared to make such a rude noise at the grand court meeting.

However, everyone only saw a figure knocking into the air a few officials standing in front of him, and rushing straight at Wang Jia.

Meng Wei, who was full of evil spirit, was like a tiger coming out of the box. He knocked several officials into the air in the blink of an eye. Just when he was about to rush to Wang Jia, a civil official slapped Meng Wei with his hand and palm. Wei met him with palms, and the two took a step back.

At the same time, everyone had just seen Meng Wei's figure clearly, and they saw that Meng Wei was wearing armor, and his whole body was filled with evil spirits. It is not allowed to beat Wang Jia, the elder of the pavilion, severely.

"Who is this person who dares to make such a big fuss in the court? Are you really not afraid of death?"

Someone looked at Meng Wei in horror.

At this moment, a clear and familiar voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears: "General Meng, don't be rude."

The voice was not loud, but it echoed in everyone's ears as if it contained a wave of magical power, and everyone who heard Li Huan's voice showed astonishment, and turned slowly towards the direction from which the voice came. looked over.

When they saw that familiar figure and that face that made them remember deeply, some officials shrank their eyes and swallowed subconsciously, not daring to look at those calm eyes.

"Li Huan!"

Someone subconsciously let out a low cry, and just listening to the trembling voice, one could tell that his heart was not at peace.

"He... isn't he still in Yan'an Mansion, why did he appear here?"

"Damn it, why didn't there be any news about Li Huan's appearance in Beijing?"

All of a sudden, many people's complexions changed drastically. It was obvious that Li Huan's sudden appearance at the Great Court Meeting was unexpected by many people.

When Wang Jia saw Li Huan's tall figure, his eyes couldn't help shrinking, and he just looked at Li Huan. For some reason, Wang Jia had a bad feeling in his heart.

Shaking his head, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Wang Jia calmed down, he had nothing to be afraid of, even if Li Huan suddenly appeared in the capital, so what? On this point of decree, he can ask the emperor to take Li Huan down and throw him into imperial prison.

Meng Wei who was originally like a tiger heard Li Huan's words, his breath was restrained, and he immediately bowed respectfully to Li Huan and said: "The general will obey."

Under the attention of the crowd, Li Huan was wearing a black cloak, and walked forward step by step. When Li Huan walked over, the officials who were standing in front of Li Huan didn't know why, one by one. Subconsciously, he made way for Li Huan.

What Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting on the imperial steps, saw was Li Huan walking towards him slowly, while all the civil and military officials around him were suppressed by Li Huan's aura, as if they had become Li Huan's background board They all took the initiative to disperse.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes.

Li Huan's grandeur and arrogance can be said to amaze Zhu Houzhao, and even make Zhu Houzhao, who is fond of martial arts, feel like a man should be like this in an instant.

The audience was silent, except for the sound of Li Huan's footsteps.

In the blink of an eye, Li Huan walked up to him, and instead of looking at Wang Jia, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others who were staring at him, he stood still and bowed respectfully to Zhu Houzhao, saying, "Your Majesty, Li Huan will live up to you!" Entrusted with defeating the Tatars and exalting the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, I have returned to Beijing under the imperial edict. I hope that the Ming Dynasty will prosper forever, and that Your Majesty will live forever, long live, long live, long live!"

Zhu Houzhao was so emotional that when Li Huan was paying homage, he got up suddenly, walked down the imperial steps, helped Li Huan up himself and said, "Li Qing, quickly save yourself from the ceremony."

Everyone who was a little dazed by the sudden appearance of Li Huan saw that the emperor had personally demoted him to help Li Huan up, and there were envy and jealousy in the eyes of many people.

The Son of Heaven favored Li Huan too much. You must know that there were many officials impeaching Li Huan just before Qianqing Palace and had the intention of rebelling.

But looking at the posture of the emperor, it seems that all their previous impeachments have been useless.

Especially people like Wang Jia and Chen Wenliang, when they watched Li Huan and Zhu Houzhao staged a scene where the monarch and his ministers got along with each other, and the two didn't trust each other, their expressions suddenly became gloomy.

Looking at each other, they saw Chen Wenliang with gorgeous hair and Qingjun's figure seemed to contain terrifying power. He said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, everyone knows Li Huan's treasonous intentions. Your Majesty has learned from you!"

The scene where the monarch and his ministers got each other was suddenly broken by Chen Wenliang's sound, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help frowning, his eyes were full of surprise.

Before the Son of Heaven could speak, Li Huan turned slightly to the side, and said calmly, "I don't know who you are?"

Just looking at Chen Wenliang's official uniform, anyone who knows something about the attire of the court officials can more or less guess his identity. It would be a lie to say that Li Huan couldn't recognize the official uniform worn by Chen Wenliang.

So when Li Huan asked, everyone heard it with a hint of disdain.

At the same time, Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu laughed loudly and said, "My son-in-law, you don't know, this is Chen Wenliang, the censor of the left capital who is famous all over the world, Mr. Chen. "

Listening to Cheng Guogong's tone of voice, although he said he was introducing Chen Wenliang's identity to Li Huan, but no matter how he heard it, he had a different flavor.

Chen Wenliang looked proud, and snorted coldly at Li Huan with a bit of arrogance: "This old man is a veteran of three dynasties, serving several generations of emperors. When I was an official in the court, Li Huan didn't know where you were. Woolen cloth!"

Seeing Chen Wenliang put on an old-fashioned appearance, Li Huan showed a faint smile on his mouth, and said with a bit of surprise on his face: "It turns out that it is Mr. Chen Wenliang, the veteran of the three dynasties."

Many officials around were distracted by Li Huan. Seeing that Chen Wenliang had no fear in facing Li Huan, and even brought out his identity as a veteran of several dynasties to suppress Li Huan, they all looked at Chen Wenliang expectantly. .

No matter how rampant Li Huan was, facing a veteran like Chen Wenliang, Li Huan might not be able to become rampant again.

At this moment, Li Huan suddenly said: "Pingzhi, why do I hear the name of Master Chen familiar?"

After Li Huan finished speaking, he saw a handsome young man dressed in Jinyi guards stepped forward and said respectfully: "My lord, Chen Wenliang, his ancestral home is from a family in Datong Prefecture, Shaanxi Province, and now lives in Yangzhou Prefecture. His family is rich in salt and iron. Party A even colluded with salt merchants in Shanxi and Shaanxi, secretly manipulated the salt trade between Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers, smuggled salt and iron outside the customs, and had close relations with various tribes of the Hu tribe in the grassland. The third daughter of Chen Wenliang married the head of the Yiliha tribe of the Wanhu tribe I am a concubine, and my granddaughter even serves Dayan Khan as a concubine, and her family wealth is tens of millions..."

Lin Pingzhi told Chen Wenliang's details and even the history of the Chen family's fortune, which left everyone in the room stunned.

Although many people in the court know that the Chen family is a well-known big salt merchant in Yangzhou Prefecture, with a lot of wealth, but except for a very few people who know some details about the Chen family, almost [-]% of the people don't know Chen's family at all. The real details of the family.

Needless to say, what Lin Pingzhi said was of course the information about the Chen family collected by Jin Yiwei.

Especially when Lin Pingzhi said that the Chen family controlled the Lianghuai salt industry, had connections with the barbarians outside the pass, and even the family's prostitute served as a concubine for the barbarians, and her net worth was tens of millions. Chen Wenliang, who was quite disdainful of Li Huan, changed his complexion with his aloofness, cold sweat appeared on his originally rosy face, and even his figure became a little stooped.

There was silence in the field for a while, and strange eyes fell on Chen Wenliang. If all of these were true, then Chen Wenliang and the Chen family had colluded with the Tatars and traded taboo items such as salt and iron with the Tatars. This is a great sin.

Papapa

There was a crisp and sweet clapping sound, and everyone looked around after hearing the reputation, and saw Li Huanzheng clapping his hands with a chuckle and said to Chen Wenliang: "So you are the Qingtian Baiyuzhu of the Chen family in Yangzhou, Chen Wenliang, Master Chen, Li has something to do." Looking for Mr. Chen, what a coincidence, I never thought to see Mr. Chen here."

For some reason, seeing the smile on Li Huan's face, Chen Wenliang suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

Under Li Huan's watchful eyes, Chen Wenliang had long since lost his previous aloof attitude, instead he seemed quite frightened, and said in a trembling voice, "You... why are you looking for me?"

The people around heard Li Huan's words and forgot everything else for a while, and they couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Could it be that Li Huan really wanted to find Chen Wenliang for something?

Many officials turned their attention to Li Huan, while Wang Jia's complexion changed, and a bad feeling appeared in his heart.

[Well, it's the first day of the month, let's smash it for those who have a guaranteed monthly pass. 】
