Chapter 53 Entering the Palace [One More]

Ma Ming was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately thought of what Zhu Houzhao asked him to bring to Li Huan.

Ma Ming laughed and said: "By the way, my lord, when we parted, that young master asked me to bring you a message, saying that you will meet soon."

A light flashed in Chen Ke's eyes at the side, while Li Huan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I see, you go to work."

After Ma Ming left, Chen Ke smiled at Li Huan and said, "It seems that I want to congratulate Li Huan in advance."

Li Huan said with a smile: "My lord, you are being polite. Maybe we all guessed wrong and we don't know."

Chen Ke patted Li Huan's shoulder with his big hand and left with a smile.

In Guzi Lane, in a rather quiet small courtyard, a figure was busy packing up the clothes hanging outside, when he suddenly raised his head and saw Li Huan who pushed the door and entered, his pretty face could not help showing some With a look of joy, he stepped forward to take the saber from Li Huan, and brought the prepared water: "My lord, wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Li Huan nodded slightly, washed his hands, and sat down with Forsythia to have a meal, but it was obvious that Li Huan was a little distracted.

"Is it really the emperor?"

Li Huan felt quite a sense of anticipation in his heart. If it was true as Chen Ke had guessed, then it could be foreseen that success in the future would definitely not be a problem.

Li Huan did not have much thought about power before, but as he gradually integrated into this world, Li Huan discovered that if there is no power, then various injustices may come, even if there is no fear of life, he will still live It's very aggrieved.

Just like the death of his predecessor, the death of Li Xian, and even his being forced to enter the capital, in the final analysis, it was not because he had no power and power and could only be manipulated by others.

It can be said that the experience of more than a year has greatly grown and changed Li Huan's ambition.

"Son, what are you thinking?"

Forsythia noticed that Li Huan was distracted, so she couldn't help but speak.

Li Huan came back to his senses, smiled and said, "It's all right."

The first day, the second day, and the third day passed. Li Huan went to Jinyiwei to report every day as usual, and then took people to inspect the royal hunting grounds. However, the expected reward from the emperor has not arrived.

On this day, Li Huan rushed to the Jinyiwei yamen early, and happened to meet Chen Ke. These days, Li Huan continued to do his own thing, without feeling impetuous at all, which made Chen Ke greatly admired.

If it were him in Li Huan's position, he would have been restless, looking forward to the arrival of the emperor's reward every day.

With a light cough, Chen Ke nodded to Li Huan and comforted him: "Li Huan, don't be disappointed, maybe I guessed wrong, I don't know..."

Li Huan was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of galloping horses coming. Both Li Huan and Chen Ke subconsciously looked towards the long street in the distance.

Chen Ke just glanced at it and couldn't help shrinking his eyes. It was a few fast horses galloping towards the Jinyiwei Yamen, especially the figures on the horses who were dressed in eunuch costumes. Li Huan looked over.

Li Huan also saw the eunuchs who were coming at a gallop, and guessed like Chen Ke, and couldn't help feeling a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

I saw those eunuchs get off their horses, the leader had a smile on his face, giving people the feeling of a good old man, and the other eunuchs respectfully followed behind him.

Seeing this, Chen Ke recognized the person's identity at a glance, and quickly stepped forward to salute respectfully: "Your Majesty, Chen Ke has seen Supervisor Gu!"

It turns out that this person is Gu Dayong, one of the Eight Tigers.

Along with Chen Ke, Li Huan cupped his hands at Gu Dayong, and at the same time secretly looked at Gu Dayong. It seemed that Gu Dayong was about forty years old, tall, with a fair face and a good appearance. If he didn't know his identity, he would be very It is difficult to link it with the eunuch.

Gu Dayong took a look at Chen Ke, strode into Jinyiwei's yamen, and said at the same time: "Our family has obeyed His Majesty's order to urgently order Li Huan, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, to come to the palace to have an audience. Let’s go back to the palace and return to life!”

Li Huan let out a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and when Chen Ke's eyes fell on him, he bowed his hands to Gu Dayong with neither humbleness nor overbearing, and said: "Li Huan, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, has seen your father-in-law."

Gu Dayong couldn't help being stunned for a moment. You must know that he didn't take Li Huan seriously before, and he didn't even take a second look at him, but he didn't expect that Li Huan was the person he was looking for on this trip.

Speaking of which, Gu Dayong really had a sense of anticipation for Li Huan. The news of Zhu Houzhao's departure from the palace could not be hidden from other people, but they could not be hidden from the people who often served Zhu Houzhao. Hearing that Zhu Houzhao was assassinated with Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and the others were terrified.

Naturally, he was extremely curious about Li Huan who saved Zhu Houzhao. Of course, there was another reason that Li Huan disgraced Liu Jin, which made Gu Dayong even more curious about what kind of character Li Huan was.

Even when Zhu Houzhao was the prince in the past, those who served Zhu Houzhao were full of competition, especially he and Liu Jin were the most favored by Zhu Houzhao. sharp.

It can be imagined that when Gu Dayong learned that his old opponent Liu Jin was so frightened that he fell to the ground, the feeling was really hard to express in words. Therefore, when he learned that Zhu Houzhao was going to summon Li Huan, Gu Dayong immediately So he took the initiative to ask for an order to take up this errand, because he wanted to meet Li Huan as soon as possible.

Looking at Li Huan in front of him, who was dressed in Jin Yiwei's hundred household attire, Gu Dayong couldn't help sizing him up with a strange look.

After looking Li Huan up and down, Gu Dayong suddenly said to Li Huan with an extremely affectionate attitude: "You are Li Huan? Our family heard that you scared Liu Jin to death..."

Li Huan didn't expect that Gu Dayong would directly mention the matter between him and Liu Jin when he opened his mouth, his expression froze immediately, and he cupped his hands and smiled bitterly, "I'm a little impatient, and my impulsive actions made my father-in-law laugh!"

Gu Dayong laughed loudly, looked at Li Huan with a kind of admiration, and said, "If you want our family to say, you should beat up that old bastard Liu Jin, and even want to take you as an adopted son, little brother. See what you are..."

Li Huan was speechless, since Gu Dayong and Liu Jin did not deal with each other, he shouldn't have mentioned the matter between him and Liu Jin in front of so many people. He was sure that his conversation with Gu Dayong would be verbatim today. The news reached Liu Jin's ears, isn't this asking for trouble for himself?
Seeing Li Huan's reaction in his eyes, Gu Dayong said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Brother Li Huan, Your Majesty has summoned you, follow me into the palace!"

Li Huan nodded slightly, turned around and cupped his hands towards Chen Ke: "My lord..."

Chen Ke said with a smile: "I will send other people to take care of you for the inspection, so hurry up and pay your respects to His Majesty!"

Running all the way, it didn't take long to arrive in front of the palace gate. Although Gu Dayong was leading him, he still inspected it, and then took off the saber he was wearing. This was the first time Li Huan stepped into the core of the Ming Empire. Important place, the Forbidden City.

After entering the Forbidden City, Li Huan just looked around indifferently along the way, without feeling restrained, let alone flustered or nervous.

Not to mention anything else, Gu Dayong, who has been paying attention to the changes in Li Huan's expression, is full of praise in his heart just because of this disposition of not being surprised.

Gu Dayong said to Li Huan with a smile on his face: "Brother Li Huan, do you know why His Majesty summoned you today?"

Hearing this, Li Huan glanced sideways at Gu Dayong and said, "Li Huan is stupid, please give me some advice!"

Gu Dayong said with a smile: "Brother, you have done a great job in rescuing him a few days ago. Your Majesty has been talking about you these few days, asking us for opinions, and thinking about how to reward you. I summoned you today, I guess Your Majesty has already made a decision, so our family is here to congratulate you, little brother."

Li Huan shook his head with a smile and said: "Elder-in-law was joking, Li didn't know that was His Majesty that day, and he didn't even think about what benefits he would get afterwards, otherwise he wouldn't let his subordinates send His Majesty back to Beijing, but went out in person , Do you think it makes sense!"

At this time, a voice suddenly came and said: "Okay, well said, what I like is the pure heart of the Qing family."
