Chapter 74 What are they doing! 【Second Update】

Li Huan frowned. To be honest, he really didn't know this, but thinking about Shi Wenyi and others' behavior, it was obvious that during the years of Emperor Xiaozong's reign, he was repeatedly suppressed by civil servants and had a psychological shadow. Even if Zhu Houzhao, the new emperor, ascended the throne, he would not dare to take the risk of offending civil and military officials to lead the order to reorganize the guards.

Seeing Li Huan's pensive look, Luo Wenxiang was overjoyed and said, "So, little brother, you are a scapegoat pushed out by His Majesty. When you reorganize the guards, you will definitely offend the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty , under the turmoil of the crowd, if His Majesty wants to appease the anger of the officials, the only way to explain to them is to kill you."

To be honest, Luo Wenxiang's eloquence is really not bad, especially the analysis of this statement is reasonable, has facts and basis, and even predicts the future, which is really hard to refute.

However, Li Huan knew that Zhu Houzhao had been suppressed to the limit by the officials. On the one hand, the officials were persecuting him every step of the way.Liu Jin's ascension has opened the prelude to Zhu Houzhao's counterattack.

The years when Liu Jin's power was at its peak were the times when the emperor was fighting fiercely with civil and military officials. Not only would he not be pushed out by the emperor as a scapegoat for his reorganization of the guards, but he would be relied on even more by the emperor.

Li Huan even dared to say that the more civil and military officials impeached him, the more Zhu Houzhao, the young emperor, would protect him.

What's more, with Zhu Houzhao's generous temperament, he would never do anything to push him out as a scapegoat. Don't you see how kind Zhu Houzhao treats his trusted people.

Just like in history, Qian Ning was the commander of Jin Yiwei, but he colluded with King Ning and had close contacts. Later, King Ning rebelled, and Qian Ning was involved in such a major treason case. If it were any other emperor, he would have The nine clans have been exterminated, but even so, Zhu Houzhao still remembers his old feelings and did not deal with him.

Even Liu Jin, who was pushed out to fight against the officials, if Zhang Yong, one of the Eight Tigers, suddenly stabbed him in the back and slandered Liu Jin for rebellion, which led to civil strife in the eunuch group, Zhu Houzhao lost the power to fight against the officials, and was forced That's why Liu Jin had to be killed.

It can be said that in that case, Zhu Houzhao would not kill Liu Jin if there was even a chance. This also led to Zhu Houzhao's favor of Jiang Bin, who was born in the army. He desperately wanted to hold the general in his hands. A sudden death alerted Zhu Houzhao.

Seeing Li Huan groaning silently, thinking that Li Huan's heart had already moved, Luo Wenxiang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "We are both hometowns, and this old man just said such a thing to you, little brother. You must think twice, even if you don't think about yourself. , and think about your loved ones..."

A cold light flashed in Li Huan's eyes, and he suddenly smiled and said, "I don't know how much it will cost to book this restaurant?"

Luo Wenxiang didn't think much and said, "It's just a few hundred taels of silver, it's nothing..."

Li Huan sighed softly: "Hundreds of taels of silver, I'm afraid your annual salary is not so much!"

Luo Wenxiang's complexion changed, he stared at Li Huan with a bit of surprise and said, "Li Huan, what do you mean!"

Li Huan got up, condescending, leaned forward slightly, looked at Luo Wenxiang with a half-smile and said, "It seems that the late emperor treated you very well, you seem to have forgotten what the Jinyiwei does!"

Luo Wenxiang's complexion changed, and suddenly he laughed loudly and said, "Okay, it seems that the old man's good intentions were taken as a donkey's liver and lungs."

Standing up and flinging his sleeves violently, Luo Wenxiang stared at Li Huan with a gloomy expression and said, "When you are impeached by all the officials, the emperor abandons you, your reputation is ruined, and your family is destroyed, don't regret it!"

Li Huan glanced at Luo Wenxiang with disdain and said, "Li is waiting!"

Seeing Li Huan get up and leave without hesitation, Luo Wenxiang stared at Li Huan's back, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "So ignorant of flattery, you dare to threaten me, it seems that there is no need to keep it." is you!"

"master!"

Seeing Li Huan leaving, the young servant who was guarding the door hastily came in, just in time to see a ray of murderous intent flashing in his master's eyes, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help mourning for Li Huan in his heart.

Don't look at my master who treats people with kindness and amiability, but he is a person who must retaliate. Even though he is only a seventh-rank supervisory censor, he has a wide range of friends in the inspector's office and six departments, and his appeal is very strong. There are many high-ranking officials with fourth and third ranks, but few of them end well.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Wenxiang said to the servant: "Go, take my life to stab, and invite Brother Du, Brother Ma, Brother Han and others!"

Here Luo Wenxiang summoned his colleagues to prepare to impeach Li Huan to death without mentioning it.

But said that on the second day in the palace, a small pilgrimage had just ended.

Zhu Houzhao, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walked out of Fengtian Hall surrounded by several eunuchs, big and small, with an extremely gloomy expression.

Liu Jin followed closely beside Zhu Houzhao, and said to Zhu Houzhao with concern, "Your Majesty, after so long in the morning, your Majesty must be tired, so let's take the Yuchao!"

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and said, "I'm not tired!"

It can be seen that Zhu Houzhao is really angry. Zhu Houzhao seldom gets angry with the maids and servants around him, let alone Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, who have been with him for many years.

Liu Jin waved to several servants and maids, and immediately those servants and maids fell behind a few steps and followed behind, while Liu Jin and Gu Dayong accompanied the attendants on both sides.

Looking at the distance from Fengtian Temple, Liu Jin said to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty calm down, it's not worth it for a small matter, don't get angry!"

Zhu Houzhao said angrily when he heard the words: "You said it too, it's just a trivial matter, but what about them, how they persecuted me, you have seen it with your own eyes, my companion, do they still treat me as a child? This is not allowed, and that is not allowed." , I think they want me to be an emperor who listens to them in everything, what do they want..."

Zhu Houzhao, who was furious, was not choosing what to say, but Gu Dayong, who was on the side, said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, be careful, if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty find out..."

Zhu Houzhao was even more anxious when he heard the words and said with a smile: "It's ridiculous, what can I not say, are they the emperor, or I am the emperor!"

Liu Jin, on the other hand, had a strange look in his eyes, and comforted Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty, this old slave is incompetent..."

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, waved his hands and said, "I know that you have just taken charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and there are not many people who listen to you in the court to open your eyes, but you need to put more thought into it, my friend. You are so aggrieved." Days, I've had enough."

Liu Jin said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this old slave will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations."

Back in the harem, Zhu Houzhao's youthful temperament, his temper came and went quickly, and under the comfort of Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, his mood improved a lot.

After taking the tea and taking a sip, Zhu Houzhao said to Liu Jin, "You don't need to serve me here, so hurry up and do your work! I'm still counting on you to help me!"

Hearing this, Gu Dayong felt both envy and jealousy towards Liu Jin, and said in his heart: "Your Majesty, I heard that some officials are very dissatisfied with your Majesty's ordering Li Huan to reorganize the guards, and they are preparing to unite to impeach Li Huan... "

Zhu Houzhao's anger that had just subsided immediately surged up again, and he said angrily: "I'm so angry, Jin Yiwei is the emperor's army, and the guards' army is even more concerned with my safety. They don't even allow this. They want to do it." Well, what do you want..."

With a bang, the teacup in his hand was slammed to the ground by Zhu Houzhao, and it shattered into pieces on the spot. The serving servants and maids fell to their knees like cicadas in silence.
