Chapter 111 Begging the Emperor for Kungfu Techniques

Dressed in a robe, the handsome Yang Tinghe was sitting quietly in front of the table, stroking his beard with one hand, and reviewing a memorial with the other.

Suddenly, Liu Jin's shout came from outside, Yang Tinghe only frowned slightly, but he didn't move his body, still carefully reviewing the memorial.

When Liu Jin broke into the room where Yang Tinghe was, seeing Yang Tinghe sitting there quietly reviewing the memorial, unmoved, he couldn't help pointing at Yang Tinghe and said, "Yang Jiefu, our family is asking you something!"

Yang Tinghe seemed to have finished reviewing the memorial, first put down the brush in his hand, then folded the memorial and put it aside, then raised his head.

First, he waved his hand and retreated at the trembling official who did not dare to stop Liu Jin, and then said with a smile: "What's wrong with the chief executive, he's so angry, but what did Yang do wrong, he actually provoked a lot of trouble?" The boss is so angry."

Everyone said that they would not hit smiling faces. Liu Jin, who was originally full of anger, came here seeing Yang Tinghe's smiling face, so she couldn't continue to have an attack, so she could only snort coldly.

Then he sat down on the armchair Yang Tinghe used to rest, looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Yang Jiefu, let me ask you, Your Majesty asked you to recommend new cabinet ministers, and our family recommended Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai to join the cabinet. Why do you object?" .”

Faced with Liu Jin's questioning, Yang Tinghe seemed calm and said with a smile, "Why did I come here to be the chief executive?"

Liu Jin snorted coldly, not giving Yang Tinghe a good face at all.

In the past, he had no chance to push his own people into the cabinet. This time, he managed to get Li Huan's favor, and finally got rid of the two old stubborn Xie Qian and Liu Jian. When the cabinet became vacant, he, Liu Jin, still had to give up his own. The confidant promotes the cabinet.

I thought there would be no problem, but I didn't expect to be rejected by a group of officials headed by Yang Tinghe. How could this not make Liu Jin angry.

Yang Tinghe handed a cup of tea to Liu Jin and said with a smile, "Why don't you try the old man's tea?"

Liu Jin glanced at Yang Tinghe and said, "I don't have the time to chat with you over tea, so you, Yang Tinghe, just tell me why you rejected the candidate recommended by me."

Yang Tinghe was also not angry, looked at Liu Jin and said, "The person recommended by the chief executive really does not meet the standards of a cabinet elder."

Talking about it, Yang Tinghe didn't care about Liu Jin's ugly face, and said: "The veto of the two is also for the sake of the chief executive, otherwise, when the time comes, the Jiuqing will make an election, and it will be difficult for the two to win with their seniority in the court. Hundreds of officials rose up and attacked..."

Liu Jin couldn't help sneering when he heard the words: "Don't tell me these things, I'll just say it straight. I'm here today, not to discuss with you, but to tell you that Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai must have One person enters the cabinet, otherwise, if you want to push Wang Jia into the cabinet, you will never pass this hurdle."

After finishing speaking, Liu Jin flicked his sleeves, got up and left directly, regardless of Yang Tinghe's reaction.

Looking at Liu Jin's disappearing figure, Yang Tinghe, who was originally surprised, had a smile on his face, giving the impression that everything before was in his expectation.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside, Li Dongyang walked in with a bit of a smile and said to Yang Tinghe: "Jie Fu, just now I saw Eunuch Liu coming in a rage, and then leaving in a rage. , you said yesterday that you can settle Eunuch Liu."

Yang Tinghe looked at Li Dongyang who came in, smiled and handed the tea to Li Dongyang and said: "Tinghe has lived up to the expectations of Lord Xi Ya, and has convinced Liu Jin that Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai can only choose one person to join the cabinet."

Li Dongyang smiled when he heard the words, pointed at Yang Tinghe and said: "Jiefu, Jiefu, aren't you afraid that Eunuch Liu will find you trouble after knowing that you have schemed against him?"

This time the cabinet is vacant, and it is inevitable that candidates will be added to the cabinet, and around the old cabinet candidates, the eunuch party headed by Liu Jin and the civil service group have fiercely confronted each other, and the two sides have been deadlocked for several days.

The civil official group headed by Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang fully supported Wang Jia's entry into the cabinet, while Liu Jin strongly advocated Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai's entry into the cabinet, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

It's just that Liu Jin was very strong, and he wanted to push the two confidants into the cabinet at once, but he couldn't persuade him no matter what. This was obviously what Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang and the civil official group didn't want to see.

But there is one thing I have to admit, that is, as more and more officials are attached to Liu Jin, the longer this matter drags on, the more variables there will be. The best way is to let Liu Jin relax.

That's why Yang Tinghe deliberately stimulated Liu Jin, and put on a posture that the two of them were determined not to join the cabinet, so as to force Liu Jin to retreat.

Sure enough, Liu Jin did not continue to insist. In the end, he only insisted on letting one of Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai join the cabinet.

Of course, Li Dongyang could see Yang Tinghe's little trick, that's why he said that.

Yang Tinghe sighed and said, "I don't know which one of Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai is going to join the cabinet?"

Li Dongyang glanced at Yang Tinghe and said, "Jie Fu, what do you mean?"

Yang Tinghe was slightly taken aback, and pondered for a while and said: "Let's talk about Jiao Fang, although she is now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but her conduct is bad and her virtues are deficient, while Zhang Cai has insufficient qualifications and narrow-mindedness, so she is not the elder's choice. If you have to choose between the two, I recommend Jiao Fang over Zhang Cai!"

Li Dongyang said with a smile: "Since that's the case, let Wang Jia and Jiao Fang join the cabinet this time."

Jinyiwei Yamen

Li Huan looked at Chen Ke and Zhao Yi who were standing in front of him and said, "So the three thousand guards are all here today?"

Chen Ke nodded and said: "My lord, the two of us have checked one by one, and there is no difference."

Li Huan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, Your Majesty has been paying attention to this matter all the time. Now to reorganize the guards and the army, the first thing to do is to replace all the guards in the palace and the emperor's ceremonial guards. An innocent and trustworthy person."

As the emperor's personal guard, Jin Yiwei has always shouldered the responsibilities of the imperial palace guard and the emperor's guard of honor, but today's palace guards and the emperor's guard of honor are all old people left over from the era of the former emperor.

Maybe these people are equally trustworthy, and there is no problem, but once the emperor and courtiers, these people who are related to the safety of the emperor need to be careful and cautious, even if there is a slight carelessness, it is possible It will have dire consequences.

Some departments seem to be insignificant, but sometimes they can play a decisive role. Others are not mentioned, just like the Imperial Hospital of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that the imperial hospital had no sense of existence in the political struggles of the past dynasties, but it was very interesting in the Ming Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration for the imperial physicians of the Ming Dynasty to say "Dragon Slaying Warrior".

The death of more than a dozen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention others, but only Xianzong, Xiaozong, Wuzong, and the three generations of emperors, can be said to be related to the treatment of the Imperial Hospital.

Xiaozong and Xianzong did not mention it, but just said Zhengde's death, which is really full of doubts.

Generally speaking, the position of imperial physician is naturally a doctor in the perception of ordinary people, but being a doctor is only their side job. Speaking of which, the essence of these people is still a civil servant, or a technocrat.

It is said that a scholar is a good doctor if he is not a good looker, so the imperial doctor himself is also a part of the scholar-bureaucrat class, and he only focuses on the ancient medical industry.

Even when Emperor Zhengde was seriously ill, he asked Yang Tinghe, a cabinet scholar at the time, to replace the imperial physician, but Yang Tinghe refused such a request. Not long after, Zhu Houzhao, the emperor who could ride a horse, bend a bow and shoot arrows, and even go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, He died suddenly in his prime.

There is also the carpenter emperor. Emperor Tianqi probably did not learn the lessons of Zhengde. He also boldly used Wei Zhongxian to suppress the civil official group that was too difficult to manage.

Of course, with the support of the emperor, the combination of the imperial power, which naturally occupies legal principles, and the eunuch group naturally made the civil official group complain and struggle.

However, the final result is that Emperor Tianqi also died inexplicably, accidentally fell into the water, and then took the "immortal medicine and spirit dew drink" Longyu Shangbin.

It is said that there is nothing new under the sun, and even the two emperors died in such a refreshing and consistent way.

However, from Li Huan's point of view, it was clear that he couldn't play within the rules, so I simply broke the rules, flipped the table, and restarted the game again.

It was precisely because Li Huan had insights from later generations that he thought of these things, that's why he wanted to replace the palace guards who were related to the emperor's safety and the guards in charge of the emperor's guard of honor as soon as the guards were reorganized.

Zhao Yi and Chen Ke heard that Li Huan was going to replace the palace guards and the emperor's ceremonial guards at the first step, their expressions showed a bit of shock.

Chen Ke looked at Li Huan and said, "My lord, I am afraid that this matter must be approved by His Majesty, otherwise..."

Li Huan naturally knew what Chen Ke meant. It involved the emperor's guard and the emperor's ceremonial guard. This is not something anyone can change. Without the emperor's nod and approval, anyone who dares to make such an idea would be tantamount to rebellion .

Smiling slightly, Li Huan glanced at the two of them and said, "Just go and choose the manpower, and I will go to the palace to see His Majesty."

Watching Li Huan's figure go away, Zhao Yi and Chen Ke looked at each other, both of them had solemn expressions in their eyes. Li Huan entrusted him with the task of selecting the guards and guards of honor of the emperor, which was no less than putting his own future at risk. And the wealth and life were handed over to the two of them.

After all, they were the ones who selected the candidates. If something went wrong, Li Huan, who presided over the matter, would not be able to escape first, and then they would investigate step by step.

Chen Ke took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Yi and said, "An Guo, my lord trusts you and me so much, we must not let you down, and we will repay you with all our hearts."

Zhao Yi didn't speak, but Zhao Yi's thoughts could be seen from Zhao Yi's firm expression.

Li Huan left the yamen, ordered Ma Ming to take a team of Jin Yiwei and rushed to the imperial city.

A group of dozens of guards in Jinyi closely followed Li Huan along the long street, and the scene of Tiqi in the past reappeared on the streets of the capital.

It's not that Li Huan is afraid of death, but that Li Huan doesn't trust those civil servants. This time, he got rid of two elders, and there are even more than a dozen high-ranking officials who are currently in jail. It is conceivable that the civil servants are absolutely desperate He was skinned and cramped, and his corpse was shredded into thousands of pieces.

However, if there is a slight chance, the civil official group will not let it go, so Li Huan naturally dare not be careless about the safety of his travel.

If there is any accident for him, Li Huan can guarantee that it will not be long before the Li family in Langqi, Fujian will disappear in the long river of history.

Riding on the horse, Li Huan secretly made up his mind that he had to spend more time on training. Now his strength is no problem against the average expert. Once a famous first-class expert comes to attack him, he is afraid It is no longer an opponent.

However, as long as his thirteen Taibao horizontal exercises can go one step further and reach the realm of being invincible, relying on the abnormal defensive power of his foreigner's horizontal kung fu practice, as long as he is more cautious on weekdays, even if he is really targeted by a first-class expert Yes, he will definitely give the other party a surprise when the time comes.

Li Huan muttered softly: "It's time to think about both internal and external cultivation!"

Wait until the thirteenth Taibao's horizontal practice breaks through to the realm of the golden body, and then wants to improve, even if he has a steady stream of innate vitality to support him, and his practice speed is more than ten times faster than ordinary people, it still depends on water. To grind, it is impossible to be as fast as it is now.

"Foreigners have the Thirteen Taibao Henglian Shengong, which can be called a top-level exercise. In terms of inner strength training, you have to think carefully, and you have to find a top-level exercise."

Shaolin’s secret Yijin Jing, Huashan’s secret Zixia magical skill, Wudang Taiji Heart Sutra and even the secret of the Taoist leader Longhushan Tianshifu.

In other words, as the most powerful imperial family in the world, no one would believe it if they said that there was no collection of top-level inner family practice skills among the inner family who almost took over the most precious items in the world.

If you really look for it seriously, to be honest, there are definitely not a few top-level exercises in the world.

It really doesn't work, as long as he speaks, the emperor will not be stingy with a practice method!

Maybe when I meet the emperor Zhu Houzhao later, can I mention it?
Appeal!
With a shout, Li Huan reined in the reins, withdrew his thoughts and looked at the closed palace gate, then threw the reins to Ma Ming and said, "I'm going to see Your Majesty, you just wait here."

Ma Ming responded immediately.

Li Huan strode forward, and when the young eunuchs guarding the palace gate saw Li Huan, their faces showed a bit of flattery.

Back then they saw with their own eyes how Li Huan coerced hundreds of officials, and even for Li Huan, the emperor dismissed the two court elders in a rage and took down more than a dozen officials. Huan is definitely one of the people who should not be offended at the moment, and he is not in the slightest inferior to the powerful chief executive Liu Jin in the limelight.

"My servant waited to see Master Li!"

For these young eunuchs, Li Huan did not have any prejudice, but nodded with a smile and said: "I want to see His Majesty, and I also ask my little eunuch to pass it on for you."

The leading eunuch heard the words and said to the little eunuch behind him: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you open the palace door quickly and invite Master Li to enter the palace."

As he spoke, he explained under Li Huan's surprised gaze: "Your Majesty Li doesn't know something. Your Majesty has said that as long as Your Majesty enters the palace, I don't need to wait for you. You can go directly to the palace to meet the emperor."

To be honest, Li Huan really didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to give him such a privilege, to be able to enter the palace to meet the emperor at will, which is a treatment that even the cabinet ministers do not have.

If it wasn't for the extreme trust and grace, it would be absolutely impossible for Zhu Houzhao to give him such privileges.

Looking at the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty, with countless meritorious deeds, the only one who can truly enjoy such a privileged treatment is probably only the British public Zhang who has stood up for several dynasties, is connected with the Ming royal family, and retired with the country. Careful.

The little father-in-law stretched out his hand to summon a servant and said, "Xiao Guizi, take Lord Li to see His Majesty!"

The little servant who was named showed a bit of excitement on his face, and quickly bowed and said: "Your servant takes orders."

Taking a deep breath, Li Huan cupped his hands at the little father-in-law and said, "Thank you so much."

Li Huan strode through the palace gate and went deep into the imperial city under the leadership of the little servant.

The imperial palace is strictly forbidden, and there are many palaces. If you are not familiar with the environment in the palace, you may not be able to find a specific palace even if you search for a long time.

However, under the leadership of Xiao Guizi, although it was not the first time for Li Huan to enter the palace, he still admired the ancient imperial city leisurely.

Construction began in the Yuan Dynasty, and until Wen Emperor Zhu Di officially moved the capital, this largest royal architectural complex in the world has been perfected after hundreds of years of construction and repairs. Significant imperial supremacy.

It is not that simple to see the emperor. Even if Li Huan has the honor bestowed by Zhu Houzhao, he can enter and leave the palace at will, but after entering the imperial city, he must go through eunuchs at all levels before he can really see the emperor.

After all, the imperial palace is so big and the emperor has so many affairs, no one knows where the emperor is. He may be discussing matters with the ministers in the Qianqing Palace, he may be reviewing memorials in the imperial study room, he may even be in the imperial garden, or he may be in the imperial garden. The harem accompanied the concubines.

However, Li Huan only needed to follow the little servant who led the way, and his own servant was responsible for the rest of the communication.

But not long after, the emperor didn't see him, but he saw the great eunuch Qiu Ju walking over with a smile.

"Our family has met Master Li."

Li Huan saw Qiu Ju, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "So it's Brother Qiu, could it be that you are serving His Majesty today?"

Qiu Ju shook his head and said: "It's really a coincidence that Mr. Li came, His Majesty is not in this palace right now."

"what?"

Li Huan couldn't help being taken aback, he seemed very surprised, after all, where could the emperor be if he wasn't in the palace, but soon Li Huan realized it.

If it is other emperors, they will definitely not leave the palace under normal circumstances, but if it is the emperor Zhu Houzhao, it seems that no one can be found in the palace, so it is normal.
