Li Huan raised his eyebrows. To be honest, he really didn't know this. But thinking about the behavior of Shi Wenyi and others, it was obvious that during the years when Emperor Xiaozong was in power, he was repeatedly suppressed by civil servants and had a psychological shadow.
Even when the new emperor Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he did not dare to take the risk of offending the civil and military officials to receive an order to reorganize the bodyguards and troops.
Seeing Li Huan's thoughtful look, Luo Wenxiang said with joy: "So, little brother, you are the scapegoat pushed out by His Majesty. When the time comes that you reorganize the bodyguards and troops, you will definitely offend the civil and military officials of the court.
, Under the fierce public sentiment, if Your Majesty wants to calm down the anger of the officials, he can only explain to the officials by killing you."
To be honest, Luo Wenxiang's eloquence is really not bad, especially the analysis of what he said is reasonable, fact-based, and a prediction of the future. It is really difficult to refute.
But Li Huan knew that Zhu Houzhao had been suppressed to the limit by hundreds of officials. On the one hand, it was the officials' step-by-step pressure, and on the other hand, the young emperor's stubbornness was unwilling to give in and become a puppet emperor. Liu Jin's rise to power had been opened.
This was the prelude to Zhu Houzhao’s counterattack.
The years when Liu Jin was at the peak of his power were the most intense overt and covert conflicts between the emperor and the civil and military officials. Not only would he not be pushed out by the emperor as a scapegoat by reorganizing his bodyguards, but he would be relied on even more by the emperor.
Li Huan even dared to say that the more powerful the 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. Have you not seen how kind Zhu Houzhao is to his close relatives and friends?
Just like in history, Qian Ning, as the commander of the Royal Guards, colluded with King Ning and had close contacts. Later, King Ning rebelled, and Qian Ning was implicated in such a major rebellion. If it were any other emperor, he would have been involved long ago.
The nine tribes were exterminated, but even so, Zhu Houzhao still missed his old relationship and did not deal with him.
Even Liu Jin, who was pushed out to compete with Baiguan, had not been for Zhang Yong, one of the Eight Tigers, who suddenly stabbed Liu Jin in the back and accused Liu Jin of treason, leading to civil strife in the eunuch group. Zhu Houzhao lost the power to fight against Baiguan and was forced to do so.
Only then did Liu Jin have to die.
It can be said that under such circumstances, Zhu Houzhao would definitely not kill Liu Jin if there was even a slight chance. This also led to Zhu Houzhao doting on Jiang Bin, who was born in the military, and desperately wanted to seize the general power in his hands. It might not be Liu Jin's.
The death alerted Zhu Houzhao.
Seeing that Li Huan was silent, thinking that Li Huan was already attracted, Luo Wenxiang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "We are from the same hometown, so I said such a thing to my little brother, you must think twice, even if you don't think about yourself,
, you should also consider your loved ones..."
A cold light flashed in Li Huan's eyes, and he suddenly smiled and said, "I wonder how much it will cost to book this restaurant?"
Luo Wenxiang said without thinking too much: "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 that much!"
Luo Wenxiang's expression changed, and he stared at Li Huan with some surprise: "Li Huan, what do you mean!"
Li Huan stood up, condescendingly, leaning forward slightly, looking at Luo Wenxiang with a half-smile but not smiling: "It seems that the late emperor treated you really well. You seem to have forgotten what the Jin Yiwei does!"
Luo Wenxiang's expression changed, and he suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Okay, it seems that my good intentions were misunderstood."
Standing up and flicking his sleeves, Luo Wenxiang stared at Li Huan with a gloomy expression and said: "When you are impeached by hundreds of officials, the emperor abandons you, your reputation is ruined, your body is destroyed, and your family is destroyed, don't regret it!"
Li Huan glanced at Luo Wenxiang with disdain and said: "Li, wait!"
Seeing Li Huan stand up and leave without hesitation, Luo Wenxiang stared at Li Huan's back with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "You are so ignorant of promotion and dare to threaten me. It seems there is no need to keep him."
is you!"
"master!"
The boy who was originally guarding the door saw Li Huan leaving and came in quickly. He happened to see a flash of murderous intent in his master's eyes, and his heart palpitated. He couldn't help but mourn for Li Huan in his heart.
Even though my master is kind and amiable, he is a man who will retaliate against others. Even though he is only a seventh-grade supervisory censor, he has a wide circle of friends in the Supervisory Office and a sixth-grade supervisor. He has a strong appeal. In recent years, he has always been targeted by his master.
There are many officials with fourth and third grades, but few of them have a good ending.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Wenxiang said to the servant: "Go, take my life stab and invite Brother Du, Brother Ma, Brother Han and others!"
Luo Wenxiang gathered his colleagues around and prepared to impeach Li Huan to death. He did not mention it, but said that a small court meeting in the palace had just ended.
Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walked out of Fengtian Palace surrounded by several eunuchs with a gloomy look on his face.
Liu Jin followed closely beside Zhu Houzhao and said to Zhu Houzhao with a concerned look on his face: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty has been in court for such a long time. You must be tired. You'd better take the Royal Expedition!"
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and said, "I'm not tired!"
It could be seen that Zhu Houzhao was really angry. He rarely got angry with the palace maids and chamberlains around him, let alone Liu Jin and Gu Da, the eunuchs who had been with him for many years.
Liu Jin waved his hands to the several chambermaids and maids, and immediately the chamberlains and maids followed a few steps behind. Liu Jin and Gu Dayong were on both sides.
After looking at the distance from Fengtian Palace, Liu Jin said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not worth it for a trivial matter. Don't get so angry!"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he said angrily: "You also said it, it's just a trivial matter, but what about them? How they forced me? You guys have seen it with your own eyes. Do they still think I am a child? This is not allowed, and that is not allowed.
, I think they want me to be an emperor who will listen to them in everything, what do they want..."
Zhu Houzhao, who was so angry, could be said to speak indiscriminately. Gu Day, who was beside him, was frightened and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, be careful what you say. If the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty find out..."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he became even more angry and laughed: "It's ridiculous. Is there anything I can't say? Are they the emperor or am I the emperor?"
Liu Jin's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he 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 Chief of Ceremonies, and there are not many people in the court who are willing to look after you, but you need to put more thought into it. It's so frustrating.
I’ve really had enough of this life.”
Liu Jin said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations."
Back in the harem, Zhu Houzhao showed his youthful temperament and his temper came and went quickly. With 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. Go and do your work! I'm still counting on you to help me!"
Hearing this, Gu Dayong was filled with envy and jealousy towards Liu Jin. He moved in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that some officials are very dissatisfied with Your Majesty's order for Li Huan to reorganize his bodyguards and troops, and are preparing to unite to impeach Li Huan...
"
After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's anger that had just subsided suddenly surged up again, and he said angrily: "The anger is killing me. The Jinyi Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers, and the bodyguards and personal soldiers are related to my safety. They are not even allowed to do this. What do they want to do?"
Well, what do you want to do..."
With a bang, the teacup in Zhu Houzhao's hand fell to the ground, and it broke into pieces on the spot. The serving chamberlains and maids fell to their knees one by one, as silent as a cicada.
