Start with Baihuguan

Even a fool can understand the meaning of Li Dongyang's words. It is nothing more than admonishing the emperor not to favor Li Huan too much. It's just that Li Dongyang is a man who is about to become an official. Don't say that he is just admonishing the emperor at this moment, even if it is a real farewell When Li Huan was impeached, Li Huan would just pretend that he didn't hear it.

Anyway, compared to Xie Qian, Liu Jian and others, at least Li Dongyang, the chief assistant, has done fairly well in the past few years, and the political situation above the court can remain stable, among which Li Dongyang has contributed a lot.

Li Huan was not so narrow-minded as to deprive people of their right to speak.

Zhu Hou took a look at Li Dongyang, nodded slightly and said: "The Qing family's loyal words, I will definitely keep it in my heart."

Li Dongyang bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister will take his leave now."

While speaking, Li Dongyang paid homage to the emperor, turned around and walked towards the palace gate. For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Li Dongyang. Looking at Li Dongyang's figure that was gradually drifting away, everyone couldn't help but be moved. Emotion.

Li Dongyang's departure represented the end of an era. When Emperor Hongzhi was dying, he had entrusted Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian to the three elders of the pavilion.

To this day, the ransacking of the homes of the three former high-ranking ministers, the resignation of their jobs, and the resignation of their official positions represent the end of an era.

Zhu Hou looked at Li Dongyang's figure, and couldn't help feeling a wave of emotion in his heart, and said to Gao Feng who was beside him: "Big Companion, go and send Li Qing out of the palace for me."

With the resignation of a chief minister of the cabinet, there will be no more disturbances in this great court meeting. At this time, both the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have lost their energy.

Even Li Huan seemed to be quiet at this time, and did not cause any more disturbances.

Accompanied by Qiu Ju's loud cry, the Great Chaohui, which lasted for half a day, finally dissipated.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief at the moment when they dispersed, because too many accidents happened in this half day.

I thought that at the beginning of the Great Court Meeting, hundreds of officials would impeach Li Huan and Wang Yangming for plotting rebellion. Even if Li Huan's reputation for plotting rebellion could not be confirmed, at least the emperor should order Li Huan and Wang Yangming to be sent to prison .

But who would have thought that Li Huan would have returned to the capital without knowing when, and even appeared in the court meeting, the emperor even excused him, and only allowed the officials to impeach him to no avail.

Even Chen Wenliang, the censor of Zuodu, who was the main force in the impeachment of Li Huan, was ruined and sent to prison because of Li Huan.

That's all, the key point is that Li Huan still took the opportunity to impeach the military officials who were acting in charge of logistics affairs at the Great Court Meeting, and even pointed at the officials of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry, forcing Li Dongyang, who is the chief assistant of the cabinet, to He had to stand up and bear part of the guilt, and the dignified chief assistant resigned because of this.

Hundreds of officials left Qianqing Palace in twos and threes, and walked out of the palace gate. After calming down and looking at today's court meeting, they suddenly found that Li Huan was not safe, but their civil official group paid a big price for it.

Several officials walked beside the cabinet minister Wang Jia. Wang Jia had a gloomy face, and it could be seen that the cabinet elder was in a very bad mood.

As his friend, Chen Wenliang, the censor of Zuodu, had spent a lot of effort to transfer him from Nanjing to the capital. He thought he could be a right-hand man, but Li Huan turned him over for the first time. The powerful arm was cut off.

Thinking of how Chen Wenliang would be treated after falling into the hands of Jin Yiwei, Wang Jia couldn't help being annoyed.

It was not easy to grasp a handle that could knock Li Huan into the abyss, but the emperor actually favored Li Huan so much that he did not hesitate to use Zhongzhi to excuse Li Huan.

As Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Lu Jing still had a bit of panic on her face at this time, and she couldn't help but whispered beside Wang Jia: "Brother Wang, Li Huan's impeachment of Shen Yu, Ma Qing and others, I'm afraid Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Peigong."

Wang Jia paused, took a deep breath, glanced at Lu Jing, and said, "What Lu Shangshu said is true, just now I saw that Li Huan's posture seemed to be lured by Shen Yu, Ma Qing and others' greed for ink, intending to drag the Ministry of Industry, The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households are in the water."

Lu Jing thought that she was almost dragged down by Li Huan just now, and now she couldn't help but feel palpitations, the panic on her face grew stronger and she said tremblingly: "I'm afraid this thief Li Huan won't just do it like this." Let it go, this time, the chief minister has temporarily diverted the attention of the emperor, and I am afraid that the thief Li Huan will bring up the old matter again at the next court meeting. At that time, I am afraid..."

Seeing Lu Jing's terrified appearance, Wang Jia frowned and looked at Lu Jing firmly, "Lu Shangshu, the case of corruption of ink in the logistics of the army, could it be that Lu Shangshu..."

As if guessing what Wang Jia was going to say, Lu Jing repeatedly shook her head and said, "Brother Wang, where is he going? After all, Lu is also a dignified minister of the six ministries. Lu still knows the importance of the army's logistics supplies for a big war. How could you dare to play tricks on this kind of thing!"

Wang Jia took a deep look at Lu Jing and said: "Since Lu Shangshu has nothing to do with the logistics corruption case, even if Li Huan has great ability, he can't implicate Lu Shangshu, otherwise, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree." .”

Lu Jing paused, but didn't say much.

With the dispersal of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, what happened at the Great Court Assembly also spread, and it took less than half a day to cause a sensation in the huge capital.

It was really shocking what happened at the Great Court Meeting today. Li Huan and Wang Yangming, who had just won a big victory over the Tatars not long ago, were almost labeled as rebels and became thieves. Chen Wenliang, a well-known scholar in Shilin, was imprisoned, and Li Dongyang, the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet, became an official.

One by one, any one of these things would be a sensation on weekdays, let alone these things staged together.

Lou House
There was a crisp cracking sound, and a roar came out from the open study: "Damn, damn Li Huan, why does the emperor favor him so much, this old man is not willing."

The housekeeper, Lu Kui, stood quietly outside the study door with his eyes on his nose and his heart on his nose, quietly looking at Lu Jing who was venting her anxiety and anger in the study.

As the housekeeper who has been with Lu Jing since she was a child, from being a book boy of Lu Jing to the current housekeeper of the Lu family, Lu Kui naturally knows Lu Jing's temperament very well.

He knew very well that he could only communicate with Lu Jing after she had completely vented, otherwise, whoever came up to him at this moment would definitely become the target of Lu Jing to vent her anger.

Finally, calm was restored in the study, and Lu Jing's slightly hoarse voice said, "Lu Kui, order someone to tidy up the study."

At this time, Lu Kui breathed a sigh of relief, and waved his hands to the servants and maids who were standing in the distance. Soon, the maids and servants walked into the study room and tidied up the study room as quickly as possible. .

When the study was cleaned up, everyone retreated, only Lu Kui and Lu Jing, the master and servant, were left in the study.

At this time, Lu Kui poured a cup of tea for Lu Jing, brought it to Lu Jing and said, "Master, drink some tea to calm your anger. This old slave has been with the master for decades, and I have never seen the master with such a big hair." Could it be that the fire is related to Li Huan?"

Lu Jing took a sip of the tea, put down the teacup heavily so that the tea splashed a lot, and said with some lingering anger: "Apart from that traitor, who else is there? Today, master, I was almost ruined by that traitor!" , the family is ruined, how can I not be angry if you say master!"

Lu Kui's complexion changed when he heard the words, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "Master, you are an official of the Six Departments, even if it is Li Huan who wants to deal with Master, you have to think about it."

It's really a display of the six dignified officials. Any one of them is an important minister of the court. If any one is moved, it will affect thousands of bodies, and if it is not done well, it will cause turmoil in the court.

After all, to be able to achieve the position of the six ministers, all of them need seniority and connections, and each of them has a small interest group gathered around them, which can be regarded as a small hill above the court.

Therefore, every department is very involved, and it is not possible to move casually if you want to.

Lu Jing snorted coldly and said, "Although this old man is honorable as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, how is it compared to the chief minister of the cabinet? Didn't Li Dongyang be forced to ask himself to be an official?"

Lu Kui didn't hear any news from the outside world, so when he heard the news from Lu Jing, he couldn't help being stunned.

After all, he was also someone who had been with Lu Jing for many years. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, his knowledge was naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people, and he naturally understood the meaning revealed by Lu Jing's words.

A majestic cabinet minister has invited himself to resign, which makes Lu Kui feel that the news is so unbelievable.

Glancing at Lu Kui, Lu Jing told Lu Kui what happened at the Great Court Meeting today.

Although the two are named master and servant, they are actually closer. They are not bad brothers, and Lu Kui has always played the role of Lu Jing's half-confidant.

At this moment, Lu Jing calmed down, and looked at Lu Kuidao's words with a hint of ominousness: "Lu Kui, I'm afraid that this time, master, I'm afraid I will be doomed, and that thief Li Huan will never let it go. At that time, I don't know how many people in this court will be ransacked and exterminated by him, and the number of people killed will roll..."

Speaking of which, Lu Jing said to Lu Kui: "If you take An'er quietly and hide your name and flee to other places, it can be regarded as leaving an incense legacy for my Lu family!"

Listening to Lu Jing's explanation of the funeral arrangements, Lu Kui couldn't help but raised his head and said to Lu Jing: "My lord, why this is the case, things haven't reached such a level yet."

Lu Jing let out a sigh of relief and said, "Now Li Huan holds evidence of Shen Yu, Ma Qing and others' corruption. As long as Shen Yu and Ma Qing testify, Zuo Yang and Bao Ming will definitely not be able to escape. You said that in the Jinyiwei prison, can I still count on these people to keep my mouth shut for my lord?"

With Lu Jing sighing, Lu Jing said again: "Master, I have been in charge of the Ministry of Industry these years, and tens of millions of money have flowed through my hands. How much benefit I have gained from it, now think about me. I can't even figure it out, you said that once Li Huan finds out and reports it to the emperor, will the emperor confiscate my Lu family and exterminate it?"

Lu Kui's complexion fluctuated. As Lu Jing's confidant, it can be said that Lu Jing's greed for ink is not as clear as Lu Kui's. Lu Jing can't remember, but Lu Kui roughly remembers that Lu Jing's greed for ink these years may not be less than hundreds of dollars. Thousands of taels are huge.

Some of these greedy money bought high-quality fertile land and shops in Lu Jing's hometown, and some bought several other courtyards in the capital. As for the bulk, they were made into boxes, and the boxes were hidden in the cellar.

Thinking that the Lu family is very likely to be wiped out, Lu Kui and the Lu family are naturally both prosperous and at the same time, he understands now why Lu Jing reacted so violently just now.

Not to mention Lu Jing, if it were him, I'm afraid he would be like Lu Jing.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Kui looked at Lu Jing and said, "Master, is there no other way to survive?"

Lu Jing smiled miserably, shook her head and said: "There is no way out, when Li Huan is eyeing the major corruption case, all of us involved in it have no way out."

Speaking of which, Lu Jing laughed like crazy: "Everyone is going to die, they are going to die, Li Huan's butcher's knife will fall again, this time there will only be more people who will die."

Lu Kui's complexion changed, and suddenly a strange color flashed in his eyes, he looked up at Lu Jing and said, "Master, you mean that there are too many officials who were targeted by Li Huan this time?"

Lu Jing sneered and said: "Don't say anything else, it's just what I know about the master. The number of officials, big and small, who work on the logistics and supply of the army is probably no less than dozens of people. This is the name and surname that the master knows. As for the number of other officials, even I don’t know. Are you talking about how many people are involved in the case?”

When saying this, Lu Jing glanced at Lu Kui and said: "If you want to say something that doesn't blame the public, then don't say it. Li Huan has never said that the law does not blame the public."

Lu Kui smiled wryly and said: "Why doesn't this old slave know that Li Huan kills people like hemp, so he doesn't care about such things at all, but this old slave has a plan, maybe he can gain a chance for the master."

Lu Jing's body froze slightly, then she stared at Lu Kui and said, "What are you talking about? Do you have a way to get me through this disaster?"

Lu Kui nodded slightly, and whispered something in Lu Jing's ear.

After hearing Lu Kui's words, Lu Jing obviously showed a look of horror on his face. Obviously, the idea Lu Kui gave him was completely beyond Lu Jing's expectations.

Seeing Lu Jing's reaction in his eyes, Lu Kui said: "Master, since it's either you or him, why should you worry so much? Anyway, the worst result is that the Lu family ransacked the family and exterminated the family. If you don't do anything, the Lu family will not escape, so why not give it a go?"

Lu Jing was also decisive, with a flicker of madness in the depths of her eyes, she stared at Lu Kui and said, "You have always been impeccable in your affairs, and the things that have been told to you have never gone wrong in these years, so this time it will be the same." Leave it to you to do it, I hope you won't disappoint my master."

Lu Kui said in a deep voice, "Master, don't worry!"

Not to mention how each of the officials here reacted after returning to the palace, but said that Li Huan did not leave the palace with all the officials after the court was dispersed, but was left in the palace by the emperor to talk.

At this time, in the imperial study, Zhu Houzhao was sitting opposite Li Huan, while Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, Ma Yongcheng and others were standing aside.

Li Huan's steady and powerful voice flowed out of the study, mixed with Zhu Houzhao's exclamation and applause from time to time.

If someone heard it, they would find that Li Huan was telling the emperor about the major events that happened since he was ordered to lead the troops out of Beijing.

In Li Huan's narration, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be on the scene, and wished that, like Li Huan, he would also transform into a general and lead the army to fight the Tatars.

When Li Huan's voice fell, Zhu Houzhao said with a bit of unsatisfactory expression on his face: "It's a pity, as Li Qing said, if the supply of gunpowder was not caused by the greed of the logistics staff, Dayan might not have a chance to escape this time." Back to the grassland."

Regarding Zhu Houzhao's emotion, Li Huan was noncommittal. To be honest, Li Huan really didn't dare to say that he could keep Dayan Khan.

After all, as long as Dayan Khan is not stupid, he will definitely choose to protect himself in the end. At that time, unless Dayan Khan is stupid and doesn't know how to escape, otherwise, it is really not that easy to keep him.

However, in the face of the emperor's emotions, Li Huan did not explain these. Even in Li Huan's narration, Li Huan deliberately exaggerated the power of firearms, subconsciously guiding Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, to attach importance to firearms.

Did it come out without the effect? ​​Zhu Houzhao was obviously affected to a certain extent, and subconsciously attributed Dayan Khan's escape to the insufficient supply of gunpowder, which greatly reduced the power of the firearm.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's emotion, Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "Since we can defeat Tatar once, we can defeat him a second time and a third time, and one day your Majesty will command me as Emperor Taizong Wen." The soldiers went deep into Mobei and pursued the Tartars."

Zhu Houzhao is definitely a rare martial artist among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Hearing Li Huan's bewitching words, he suddenly got up, looked at Li Huan with bright eyes and said tremblingly: "Li Qing, what do you think? Can you command the army like Emperor Taizong Wen, and the horse will step into Mobei?"

Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, Liu Jin, Ma Yongcheng and others at the side all changed their complexions, and looked at Li Huan who was bewitching the emperor with strange expressions.

They were really frightened by Li Huan's operation. Li Huan was actually bewitching the emperor's imperial conquest. Isn't Li Huan afraid of repeating what the former great eunuch Wang Zhen did when he bewitched Yingzong's imperial conquest?
Besides, it’s such a simple matter for the emperor’s personal conquest. If nothing else, the cabinet and the officials will not be able to pass. It caused all the officials to boil, and the memorial to impeach Li Huan might be able to drown Li Huan.

Under Zhu Houzhao's expectant gaze, Li Huan chuckled and said, "Why not?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were full of excitement, but soon Zhu Houzhao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This matter is not that easy, but I am very happy when Li Qing said so."

As Zhu Houzhao spoke, his expression became solemn, his eyes fell to the side, his eyebrows were pleasing to his eyes, and Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, and Liu Jin, who were all drooping their heads, said: "Today's words come out of Li Qing's mouth, and they come into your ears." My ears, if people who stay here, if they pass it on to the outside world, I will never forgive you lightly."

Under Zhu Houzhao's murderous gaze, Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, Liu Jin and others trembled all over, and they all lay on the ground and tremblingly said: "I dare not, even if I die, I will not reveal a single word. "

These people have served Zhu Houzhao for many years, so they can hear the murderous intent in Zhu Houzhao's words. They are sure that if today's incident is really leaked, the generous emperor in front of him will definitely kill someone.

But thinking about Li Huan's words to bewitch the emperor just now, even they were terrified when they heard it. If it really leaked out, who knows what kind of disturbance will be caused.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at several people indifferently and said, "You are all close to me, and I also believe that you know the stakes."

While speaking, Zhu Houzhao waved his hands and said, "Okay, let's all get up."

[Well, please ask for a monthly pass. 】
