Chapter 168 Li Huan, the Crazy Man Who Killed the Capital
Chapter 168 Li Huan, the Crazy Man Who Killed the Capital
Yang Tinghe was stunned when he heard the words, and then showed a bit of anger and said: "It's such a thing, who on earth dares to prevent the old man from entering the palace to see him, don't you know that the old man can enter the palace to see you at any time The right to drive, good to kill, good old Duke to kill."
Looking back at Gao Changsheng with disdain, Zhang Mao looked at Yang Tinghe, casually threw the blood-stained long knife in his hand to the private soldiers in the mansion behind him and said, "So Yang Ge also thinks that man should be killed?"
Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "Of course it should be killed, even the old Duke dares to stop him, what a pity to kill!"
Zhang Mao said to the private soldiers, "We are all waiting here."
As soon as these private soldiers agreed, they only gave the surrounding Beijing soldiers a jump in horror, even Yang Tinghe couldn't help but twitched his mouth when he saw this scene.
Zhang Mao strode into the imperial city, ignoring Gao Changsheng's intentions.
Yang Tinghe nodded at Gao Changsheng with a smile, winked, then quickly followed Zhang Mao's footsteps and said with a smile: "The old Duke is not enjoying blessings in the mansion, why do you want to come to the palace?"
Zhang Mao glanced at Yang Tinghe indifferently, and suddenly sneered and said, "Mr. Yang Ge, you are so courageous. You even concealed such a big incident in the palace. What do you want?" doing what?"
Although he knew that Zhang Mao might have gotten the news, Yang Tinghe was still a little surprised when he heard Zhang Mao's questioning.
However, Yang Tinghe obviously had a plan for this, and he just sighed softly when he heard the words: "What kind of words are you talking about, old man? It seems that Yang and the others are people with ulterior motives."
Zhang Mao didn't answer, but looked at Yang Tinghe fixedly, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Yang Tinghe said helplessly: "Since the old Duke has already known about it, I will no longer hide it from the Duke. His Majesty was assassinated and is still in a coma. The queen mother urgently called me and a few others into the palace. After we discussed with the queen mother, in order to To avoid unnecessary chaos caused by the news of His Majesty's assassination, with the permission of the Empress Dowager, Chang Ningbo's men were dispatched to seal the palace gate."
Speaking of which, Yang Tinghe looked at Zhang Mao and said, "The matter is as simple as that. It is definitely not like the old man thought, there are many conspiracies and tricks."
After listening to Yang Tinghe's explanation, Zhang Mao's originally gloomy face finally dissipated a bit, and he still said with concern: "Where is Your Majesty, I am going to see Your Majesty."
Yang Tinghe hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is recovering from illness in Jinglan Hall, and the Empress Dowager and Empress are guarding His Majesty there, so the old Duke can rest assured."
Hearing that Zhu Houzhao was in Jinglan Hall, Zhang Mao immediately ran towards Jinglan Hall.
Jinglan Palace is surrounded by a large number of imperial city guards. At this time, these imperial city guards are tense and wary of all people and things approaching Jinglan Palace.
When Zhang Mao and Yang Tinghe appeared in front of the Jinglan Palace, one of the guards of the imperial city walked out and blocked the way: "Old Duke, Yang Ge, the important place of Jinglan Palace, without the permission of the Queen Mother and the Chief Assistant, anyone No trespassing allowed."
At this moment, Yang Tinghe coughed lightly, and hurriedly explained to Zhang Mao: "Old Duke, everything is for the safety of His Majesty."
Speaking of which, Yang Tinghe said to the guard of the imperial city: "Hurry up and go to Queen Mother Tongbing, and say that the old Duke is here!"
Zhang Mao's eyes patrolled the imperial city guards, folded his hands in front of him, and looked at the Jinglan Palace in front of him with a calm expression.
Soon, I saw a small servant hurried over. When his eyes fell on Zhang Mao and Yang Tinghe, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward to Zhang Mao, Yang Tinghe and saluted: "Old Duke, Mr. Yang Ge , Your Majesty please!"
Zhang Mao nodded slightly, and strode into Jinglan Hall.
A strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine came, and Zhang Mao frowned when he smelled the smell of Chinese medicine.
As if noticing Zhang Mao's reaction, Yang Tinghe said in a low voice: "It has been several days since your majesty was assassinated, and all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital have seen it for your majesty, but there is nothing to do. Now we can only rely on medicinal soup Hanging my life, I'm afraid..."
Zhang Mao's complexion suddenly became much gloomy, and he strode into the inner hall, his eyes fell directly on the bed.
On the bed, the young emperor was lying there silently, while the Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Xia were sitting aside, watching with worried faces.
Hearing the movement, Queen Mother Zhang turned her head and looked at Zhang Mao.
On the other hand, Zhang Mao took a few steps forward, bowed directly to the bed, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister is here!"
It's a pity that Zhu Houzhao, who was lying there, didn't respond at all to Zhang Mao's call.
At this moment, the queen mother saw the sad look on Zhang Mao's face and couldn't help but said to Zhang Yong who was standing aside: "Zhang Yong, the old man is getting old, and it is cold on the ground, quickly help the old man up!"
As he spoke, he said to the servant: "Hurry up and give the old Duke a seat!"
Zhang Mao got up slowly, did not sit down, but took a deep breath, glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and then said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I have a little knowledge of medical skills, can you please take a look for Your Majesty?" .”
Empress Dowager Zhang nodded to Zhang Mao and said, "Since the old Duke has such a heart, then I will trouble the Duke."
Zhang Mao arched his hands at Empress Dowager Zhang, walked slowly to the edge of the bed, reached out to lift Zhu Houzhao's arm, put one hand on his wrist, and concentrated on his pulse diagnosis.
Zhang Mao's brows gradually frowned. Under Zhang Mao's induction, Zhu Houzhao's pulse beat for a long time, and the beating was weak. It can even be said that if you don't feel it carefully, you can't feel it. This kind of pulse is not a good sign. .
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Mao leaned forward again and listened to the emperor's heart. He even checked the emperor's pupils, and the expression on his face became more serious.
No one bothered Zhang Mao at this time, and when Zhang Mao put Zhu Houzhao's arm back into the quilt, the Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhang Mao with some expectation and said, "Old Duke, what happened to Your Majesty? ..."
A smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Mao's face, and he smiled slightly at the queen mother and the queen: "The queen mother, empress empress, your majesty is just in a coma due to trauma, nothing serious, and after a few days of recuperation, you may wake up."
The queen mother's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she trembled with joy: "Is what the old man said true? Does your majesty really only need to rest for a while before he is all right?"
Zhang Mao said with a smile: "The old minister has never lied in his life, can the queen mother still not trust the old minister?"
Empress Dowager Zhang seemed to be infused with a surge of vitality, and said with high spirits: "Okay, okay, with the words of the old man, I can feel at ease."
Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Zhang stretched out her hand to caress Zhu Houzhao's cheek, and said with some anticipation: "Emperor, you have to wake up soon, mother has no other relatives except you!"
Zhang Mao glanced at the Empress Dowager and Empress Xia, and slowly got up and said, "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, the old minister has something to say to Elder Yang Ge, please leave first."
Empress Dowager Zhang nodded when she heard the words: "Old Duke, you can do whatever you want."
Walking out of the inner hall, Zhang Mao's eyes fell on Yang Tinghe and the others, his eyes shone brightly and he said in a deep voice: "What's going on, why did His Majesty suffer such a serious injury?"
Regarding Zhang Mao's furious reaction, Yang Ting and the others did not find it strange.
Yang Tinghe sighed softly and said: "This is not a place to talk, the old man will come with Yang."
Soon a few people came to a side hall on the side, where Zhang Mao saw the first assistant Yang Tinghe, the Minister of Rites Fei Hong, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials Mao Ji and others.
In addition, there are also officials from Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Punishment. The three divisions gathered together.
When they saw Zhang Mao, a group of officials hurriedly saluted Zhang Mao.
Zhang Mao glanced at the crowd, looked at Li Dongyang coldly and said, "Li Dongyang, why did His Majesty be assassinated, and who sent the assassin, don't tell me, you haven't found anything these days, right?"
Li Dongyang got up and said: "Old Duke, please calm down. Your Majesty has suffered such a catastrophe. We, the courtiers, are naturally very sad. The assassin was taken down at the first time. Now he is being tried by the third division. There are already some eyebrows."
As he spoke, Li Dongyang looked at Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and said, "Master Yu, how the case is progressing, let you tell the old man about it."
Yu Qing hurriedly stepped forward to salute Zhang Mao: "Return to the old man, His Majesty returned to the palace on July [-]th, and called six maids to attend the bed that night, and was injured by the maid strangling her neck with a ribbon that night. When Qiu Ju, the chief eunuch serving His Majesty, noticed something was wrong, the two court ladies who committed the murder had already hanged themselves to death, and now only the other four court ladies are being detained for interrogation."
As he spoke, Yu Qing paused and said, "According to our investigation, the two court ladies who hanged themselves to death were a few years ago, Qian Ning, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, was ordered by the chief manager Liu Jin to find the women from Jiangnan. Dedicated to the emperor, we suspect that Liu Jin assassinated the emperor..."
Zhang Mao listened to Yu Qing's words, and sneered in his heart. Even if these people changed their suspects, he would believe it, but if he believed that Liu Jin would send someone to assassinate the emperor, wouldn't Zhang Mao be a fool? .
What is Liu Jin's situation in the court, can't he see clearly?Without the emperor, Liu Jin would be nothing, not to mention that Liu Jin was going to assassinate the emperor, but if Liu Jin knew who was trying to harm the emperor, Liu Jin would tear him apart immediately.
Seeing that Zhang Mao did not speak, Yu Qing said solemnly: "Now that Qian Ning has confessed, Liu Jin specially ordered him to select those women, because the two women who assassinated His Majesty have hanged themselves to death, but all the evidence is enough to prove it. It was he, Liu Jin, who sent people to assassinate His Majesty."
Zhang Mao didn't listen to the other party's words, but looked at Li Dongyang and the others, and said coldly: "I don't care what you do, but the capital can't be chaotic, and the world can't be chaotic, otherwise..."
After speaking, Zhang Mao turned around and left.
Seeing Zhang Mao leaving rudely, several officials couldn't help showing dissatisfaction, and even a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment sneered: "You make yourself look like a loyal minister. He is a prince, what can he do to me?"
When Yang Tinghe heard the words, he immediately reprimanded: "You are so courageous. You are the British Duke who is retired from the country and the head of the nobles. You dare to be so rude. Do you still have the court in your eyes?"
Seeing Yang Tinghe's furious appearance, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake: "Your official made a slip of the tongue, please don't blame the old man."
At this moment, Li Dongyang coughed lightly, looked at the crowd and said, "Okay, now let's discuss how to take Liu Jin down."
The third division has now produced evidence that Liu Jin assassinated the emperor. As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Li Dongyang naturally wanted to take Liu Jin down immediately. Otherwise, if the queen mother asked about it, it would be his dereliction of duty.
Hearing Li Dongyang's words, everyone's faces showed excitement and relief.
In the past few years, they have been fighting with Liu Jin in the court and in the local area, and even many people have suffered from Liu Jin, but this time, they can finally take revenge for everything they have endured in the past.
Fei Hong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's not easy, he Liu Jin is the chief inspector of ceremonies, but we can't take him directly, but we can ask the Queen Mother to order, as long as there is an order from the Queen Mother, we can take him down." He Liu Jin, isn't that easy?"
As they spoke, several people looked at Li Dongyang, and Li Dongyang pondered slightly: "Since that's the case, follow me to report this matter to the Queen Mother."
From a distance, the Forbidden City in the dark looks like a huge monster perched on the vast land.
The city gate had already been closed, and the soldiers guarding the city at the gate were yawning and trying to hold on, and some even leaned against the city wall and fell asleep naively.
At this moment, there was a wailing sound of a war horse outside the city gate, followed by a thud, as if some heavy object fell violently to the ground.
Li Huan lashed the war horse under him fiercely, looked at the capital in the distance, and couldn't help showing a bit of relief on his dusty face.
Suddenly, the war horse under him let out a wail, and fell to the ground directly, but Li Huan was not surprised at all. He and Wang Yangming traveled day and night along the way, eating immediately when hungry, and sleeping immediately when sleepy. , except for people touching the ground when changing horses, the rest of the time is all on the horse.
Relying on this speed, it took less than four days to travel from Fujian to Beijing. Considering the road traffic conditions in this era, this speed is definitely very scary.
Following the impact, Li Huan jumped up and landed firmly on the ground.
Soon there was the sound of horseshoes behind them. It was Wang Yangming, Yue Buqun, Meng Hui, Du Guang, Cao Yu, and Chen Yao.
When several people reined in the horses under them and stopped, suddenly the horses under them foamed at the mouth one by one and fell to the ground, but they had galloped for hundreds of miles overnight, and they had completely drained everything.
Previously, he was running on instinct, but now that he stopped, he couldn't hold on anymore.
Not in the mood to cherish these war horses, Li Huan's eyes fell on the city wall of the capital.
Such a commotion under the city wall naturally caused the soldiers guarding the city to be very nervous.
Li Huan looked at the closed city gate, and frowned slightly. Hearing the voices of shouting and questioning on the city wall, Li Huan said to Chen Yao, Meng Hui, and Du Guang, "You guys cleaned up the corpses of these war horses." , Don’t let us know where we are.”
After hearing this, the three of Chen Yao quickly responded.
Li Huan's move naturally did not want to expose the fact that he had rushed back from Fujian. Although he said that even if he didn't deal with the corpses of these horses, the soldiers guarding the city during the day might not think of him when they found them, but in the end? A hidden danger is not.
It has been seven or eight days since the emperor was assassinated until he received the news and then rushed back all the way. During this time, what happened in the capital and what kind of situation is it in? , This needs to be considered by Li Huan.
If the emperor is safe, everything will be fine.
But if the emperor's situation is really bad, it means that the capital is now a den of dragons and tigers, and if one accidentally breaks in, there will be no bones left.
Even if Li Huanyi is a brave man, he dare not be careless in the slightest.
Wang Yangming, who was also dressed in dusty clothes, looked away from the high city wall, then looked at Li Huan and said, "Master Li, what shall we do next?"
Li Huan said slowly: "Of course it's entering the city!"
It is obviously impossible to enter the city through the city gate in the middle of the night through the normal way, but Li Huan has no plan to enter the city through the city gate.
Soon a few people found a remote place and listened attentively. Li Huan had already confirmed that all the soldiers on the night watch on this section of the city wall were asleep. , and then tapped his toe on the city wall, and with this force, he climbed up the city wall lightly.
With a sweep of his gaze, as expected by Li Huan, several soldiers patrolling the city were leaning against the city wall with their weapons in their hands, falling asleep.
After a few ups and downs, Li Huan had already tapped the sleeping points of several nearby soldiers. Unless he was awakened by someone, otherwise, he would at least sleep until dawn.
Under Li Huan's call, Wang Yangming, Yue Buqun, and Cao Yu also climbed up the city wall and sneaked into the city quietly.
Chen Ke, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, has a house in the capital, and the house is only the size of two entrances. Compared with many officials' mansions that often occupy an area of one or two acres, it is naturally very inconspicuous.
That day, Chen Ke was sleeping, and suddenly he felt alert, turned over suddenly, almost instinctively rolled his hands and patted the person in front of him.
But the next moment a deep voice rang in his ears, and at the same time, the palm that was slapped was also firmly grasped by the wrist.
"it's me!"
Hearing that familiar voice, even though the room was dark, Chen Ke had already recognized that it was Li Huan's voice, and his tense body immediately relaxed.
Suppressing the horror in his heart, Chen Ke whispered: "My lord, why did you come back!"
Hearing Chen Ke's words, Li Huan couldn't help feeling tense. After receiving Chen Ke's secret letter, he rushed back almost immediately, and he didn't dare to delay on the way.
Now that Chen Ke said so, could it be that he came back too late?
Chen Ke seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly lit the candle, and by the light of the fire, he could see Li Huan clearly.
After looking at it, Chen Ke couldn't help being stunned for a moment. If he hadn't been sure that the person who came was Li Huan, he would have almost failed to recognize him.
Li Huan is really covered in dust at the moment, his hair is disheveled, his face is covered by wind and sand, and even his clothes are covered with dust. One can tell how Li Huan got here all the way.
Li Huan frowned and looked at Chen Ke and said, "Quickly tell me, what is your Majesty doing now, what is the situation in the capital? Who is ruling the court now!"
Chen Ke heard the words and hurriedly said: "My lord, it has been nearly ten days since His Majesty was assassinated. In the past two days, Eunuch Liu Jin and one of his party members were successively taken down by the Queen Mother and thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. , Yang Ting and the two cabinet elders are in charge."
Li Huan couldn't help but wondered: "Don't Liu Jin have the strength to resist at all? How can you say that if you are taken down, you will be taken down?"
Chen Ke said with a wry smile: "Because the assassin was sent by Eunuch Liu Jin, coupled with the Queen Mother's order, Eunuch Liu was directly confined in the mansion. Within two days, Eunuch Liu's mansion was surrounded by soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp. Outsiders can't see it, so what can he do?"
Li Huan couldn't help but sneered and said, "It's such a joke that Liu Jin assassinated the emperor, even the civil and military officials of the whole court believed it."
Chen Kedao: "Why don't you believe it? Now that Eunuch Liu's party has been taken down, the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty clapped their hands and called the Queen Mother wise."
Taking a deep breath, Li Huan said, "Where is Your Majesty, do you have any news from His Majesty?"
Chen Ke shook his head and said: "The gate of the palace has been blocked by the Beijing camp, and even the commander of the imperial palace guards has been replaced, and our Jin Yiwei can't even get any news from the palace. What's going on with your Majesty, I'm afraid there are only two of you. The elder Ge and the old Duke know about it."
Li Huan pondered, and couldn't help turning his eyes to the direction of the Forbidden City, thinking that he wanted to know what happened to the emperor, and he was afraid that he would sneak into the palace to find out.
Seemingly seeing what Li Huan was thinking, Chen Ke's expression changed slightly and he said, "My lord, don't even think about sneaking into the palace. Earlier, Eunuch Liu sent people to sneak into the palace to inquire about the news, but in the end they were caught. He was directly convicted of murdering the emperor, and now the palace is heavily guarded, no matter how powerful your lord is, he may not be able to get close to the emperor's bedroom."
Hearing what Chen Ke said, Li Huan frowned. In this way, his previous method of sneaking into the palace and first determining what the emperor was like would not work.
No matter how confident he was, he didn't think that he could break into the palace by force. It was really a place where one or two martial arts masters could enter and leave at will.
Seeing Li Huan lost in thought, Chen Ke didn't dare to disturb Li Huan.
Not long after, Li Huan said to Chen Ke: "Chen Ke, go and settle the few people outside, and then call me a trusted Jin Yiwei to listen to my orders at any time."
After speaking, Li Huan went straight out of Chen Ke's residence, and ordered Yue Buqun to go with him.Li Huan identified the direction in the night, and then the two went straight to the same direction.
British government.
As the most honorable noble in the capital, the British government is already heavily guarded. Coupled with the changes that have occurred in the capital in the past few days, teams of elite family private soldiers are patrolling the British government, let alone ordinary people. Xiao Xiao is too young, even if a few people from the rivers and lakes come, I'm afraid they will come and go.
But at this moment, a figure quietly climbed over the high wall of the British palace, landed silently, avoided the patrolling soldiers, and walked through the British palace.
The British Government House occupies an extremely large area, with pavilions, terraces and pavilions arranged in a well-organized manner. Anyone entering it may feel dizzy and confused, not knowing where they are.
This was the case for Li Huan. Originally, he chose to sneak into the British Duke's residence because he wanted to find the British Duke quietly and learn some news about the emperor from the old Duke.
As for Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang, to be honest, Li Huan really didn't dare to trust each other too much. Who knows if there are any shadows of these people in the assassination of the emperor.
As for the Duke of England, Li Huan did not believe that the other party would be unfavorable to the emperor, and even at critical moments, the Duke of England might be on the side of the emperor, so Li Huan chose to meet the Duke of England.
It's just that the British government house is too big, let alone find out where Zhang Mao lives, Li Huan is a little confused about where he is right now.
Passing through a small garden again, Li Huan found that there was an open space in front of him. There was actually a small martial arts arena in this courtyard.
In the government of this country, those who are qualified to live in such a place are probably of unusual status. Even if they are not the residence of the British Duke, they are considered to be extremely noble.
It’s okay if you can’t find the British public, you just need to ask the other party to take you to find it.
As soon as his heart moved, Li Huan was overjoyed, and after taking a few steps, he rushed to the main room.
Pressing on the door with one hand, and spitting out forcefully with the hand, there was a slight sound, the door latch was shaken off, and the door slowly opened.
Walking into the room, Li Huan only felt a faint fragrance coming, and after sweeping his eyes, he immediately found the aisle leading to the inner room.
Just when Li Huan was about to enter the inner room, he heard the sound of a sword, and then a sword light came.
Li Huan obviously did not expect such a change, but his mind was tense at first. Although the sudden sword strike was unexpected, Li Huan dodged to avoid the stabbing attack that was coming straight to the vital point. At the same time, bully him.
He wants to restrain the other party in the shortest possible time, otherwise, once the other party warns loudly, the guards of the Duke's Mansion will inevitably be recruited.
Li Huan used all his strength in this move, and he didn't hide his clumsiness at all, because Li Huan knew that it might be a moment before the opponent had already issued a warning.
Zhang Lun was dressed in a moon-white tunic, holding a long sword in his hand, and his face was not panicked at all, but a little excited. He thought that the sword would be sure, even if he couldn't kill the thieves who sneaked into the mansion. Killing, at least it can severely injure the opponent.
It was precisely because of his confidence in his sword that Zhang Lun did not choose to call the police the moment he found someone sneaking into his yard.
But what surprised Zhang Lun was that the opponent's strength was far beyond Lun's expectations. The opponent not only avoided his sword, but even accelerated instantly. Before he had time to react, he reached out and grabbed him. throat.
"Boom"
Zhang Lun's throat was locked by Li Huan, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, with a look of surprise and regret on his face.
"I have no malicious intentions. If you agree to alarm others, Li can let you go!"
Zhang Lun, who thought he might be dead this time, suddenly heard Li Huan's words, and his eyes couldn't help showing surprise.
Didn't the other party sneak into the mansion to assassinate him?
Li Huan saw the surprised expression on Zhang Lun's face by the moonlight, his mind turned and he didn't hide his identity, he said: "I'm the Commander of Jin Yiwei, Li Huan, I don't know what to call you?"
Zhang Lun was taken aback when he heard Li Huan's name, and said in horror: "You are a murderer...er, you... aren't you in Fujian? Why did you appear in the capital!"
Li Huan didn't care much about Zhang Lun's failure to call himself a murderous madman. In the eyes of many people, some of his actions might be a murderous madman.
Seeing Li Huan staring at him, Zhang Lun was no longer worried that Li Huan would be unfavorable to him, but said directly: "I'm next to Zhang Lun."
Li Huan frowned, looked at Zhang Lun in surprise, and said, "So it's the young master, but Li was rude!"
As he spoke, Li Huan looked at Zhang Lun and said, "I have no ill intentions towards the young man, but I had no choice but to sneak into your mansion. I hope the young man will keep quiet, so I will let him go."
Zhang Lun nodded, and Li Huan also loosened his grip on Zhang Lun at this moment.
Feeling the powerful hand locking his throat leave, Zhang Lun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the dusty Li Huan with a strange expression.
Only now did Zhang Lun take a good look at Li Huan, and he already understood in his heart that the reason why Li Huan appeared in the capital at this time and in such a state was probably because he had received news of the emperor's accident.
Then the purpose of the other party sneaking into his mansion at this time is self-evident.
"Master Li wants to see Grandpa?"
Li Huan couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Lun, and secretly praised him in his heart. As expected, it was normal for a person who could be trained as the next generation of Duke to guess his purpose after knowing his identity.
Nodding his head slightly, Li Huan looked at Zhang Lun and said, "It's really impolite to come here late at night, and I asked the young man to pass it on for him, saying that Li Huan has something important to discuss with the old man."
Zhang Lun sized up Li Huan and saw that Li Huan's face was full of dust, but his eyes were piercing, resolute and persistent. He just thought about it for a while and said, "In that case, Master Li, I'll go later Grandpa, please come."
Li Huan stepped aside and said, "Li is waiting here!"
When passing by Li Huan, Zhang Lun suddenly said to Li Huan: "Master Li is not afraid that after I go out, I will call the guards to take you down?"
Li Huan said with a smile: "Then Li relied on all his strength to fight out of the British government, right to assume that Li has misunderstood the Duke!"
While speaking, Li Huan suddenly felt something, and suddenly raised his head to look outside.
After looking at it, Li Huan narrowed his eyes and was startled. He saw a tall and tall figure standing on the small martial arts arena. The sword in his hand was slightly lowered. A pair of cold eyes fell on him, and the moonlight fell on him. , the other party seemed to be a fairy under the moon.
Li Huan felt vigilance in his heart, this woman didn't know who she was, and the aura locked on him made him feel a little dangerous.
Following Li Huan's gaze, Zhang Lun also saw the woman, and said in surprise, "Little aunt!"
It was only at this moment that Zhang Jin's gaze shifted away from Li Huan, and a cold voice said, "Lun'er, is there something wrong?"
Zhang Lun and Li Huan naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Jin's words, only to hear Zhang Lun laughing and said: "I didn't expect it, but I alarmed my little aunt. If my aunt is fine, go and rest first!"
That cold gaze swept over Li Huan, and finally looked at Zhang Lun, as if he was sure that Zhang Lun was telling the truth, then he nodded slightly, and left with a shake of his figure.
Only then did Zhang Lun smile at Li Huan and said, "Lord Li, wait a little later, I'll go see grandpa right now."
Li Huan nodded slightly.
Not long after, Li Huan heard footsteps approaching. When he looked up, he saw the gray-haired Zhang Mao striding forward. Although he was old, his steps were vigorous and powerful, and there was a sense of resoluteness in his steps.
Li Huan stepped forward to salute Zhang Mao and said, "Your officer, Jin Yiwei Commander Tongzhi, Li Huan, the governor of the Chinese army's governor's mansion, pays his respects to the old Duke."
Zhang Mao looked at Li Huan carefully, his eyes were full of satisfaction, he nodded slightly and said: "You came to find me, but it is for His Majesty's business."
Li Huan raised his head and looked at Zhang Mao: "I don't know what your Majesty is doing, please let me know."
Zhang Mao saw the worry in Li Huan's eyes, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty's situation is quite bad. Not long ago, the old man personally felt His Majesty's pulse, and he could hardly sense His Majesty's pulse, and even his heartbeat was extremely weak. I haven't woken up yet change."
Frowning, Li Huan stared at Zhang Mao and said, "Your Majesty is really just in a coma, not..."
Zhang Mao naturally understood Li Huan's unspoken meaning, nodded and said: "Your Majesty is indeed still here, but how long he can last, but no one dares to say."
Li Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed softly: "As long as His Majesty is still here, there is still time for everything."
Hearing these words, Zhang Mao was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Li Huan rather puzzled, but Li Huan suddenly asked again: "Who actually harmed His Majesty?"
Zhang Mao glanced at Li Huan, shook his head slowly and said, "I can only be sure that it's neither Liu Jin nor Li Dongyang. As for who it is, I really don't know."
Li Huan bowed to Zhang Mao and said: "Since that's the case, Mr. Li would like to thank the old man for explaining my doubts. I will leave now. If there is any impoliteness, I hope the old man will forgive me."
As Li Huan jumped up and down, Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun disappeared after a few ups and downs.
Just after Li Huan left, a figure quietly appeared next to Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun. It wasn't Zhang Jin who had already left, who was it? It was only at this moment that the long sword in Zhang Jin's hand was returned. sheath.
"This man hides a tiger in his heart, it's very dangerous!"
Zhang Mao took a look at Zhang Jin, nodded slightly and said, "This man is a lucky minister of the Son of Heaven, he acts recklessly and can be called daring, fortunately he is not an unreasonable person, but he can be regarded as a talent."
Zhang Lun couldn't help but said, "Grandpa, it's useless for Li Huan to rush back to the capital from Fujian day and night. Now that the overall situation has been settled, unless the emperor can wake up, he may eventually be like Liu Jin, unable to escape the liquidation of the civil official group."
But when Li Huan left the British government, Yue Buqun, who had been hiding in the dark, appeared. At this time, the sky was already pale, and the rising sun could be vaguely seen.
The capital in the early morning was the same as before, although there were few people, but with the rising sun, the bustle was still there.
Li Huan had already freshened up and changed into a flying fish suit. He was riding on a war horse, and behind him was a group of elite guards carefully selected by Chen Ke.
Although there were only a hundred people, they were all Li Huan's confidantes gathered in Jinyiwei in the past few years, but anyone who was untrustworthy was excluded.
Li Huan turned his head and smiled at Wang Yangming who was beside him: "Mr. Yangming, may I go crazy with Li again!"
Wang Yangming, who had just learned of Li Huan's plan, was really overwhelmed by Li Huan's audacity and madness. If he hadn't seen that Li Huan had summoned so many guards, Wang Yangming would have suspected that Li Huan was joking with him. .
However, Li Huan was not joking with him. Hearing this, Wang Yangming could only smile bitterly and said, "Wang says he doesn't want it now, but is there still time?"
Li Huan laughed loudly and said, "Of course it's too late."
As he spoke, Li Huan yelled at the group of Jinyi guards behind him: "Brothers, the emperor is in trouble. As the emperor's army, we don't even know whether the emperor is alive or dead. How can we call ourselves the emperor's army? I am worthy of the Son of Heaven's trust, Li wants to meet the Son of Heaven today, and all the lords are willing to go with me."
"I would like to follow my lord and meet His Majesty!"
"I would like to follow my lord and meet His Majesty!"
Li Huan flicked the cloak on his body, whipped his horsewhip and shouted, "Let's go!"
Shangbai Jinyiwei galloped along the long street. Although there were few people on the long street, everyone who had such a terrifying momentum looked sideways at him.
In the past few days, the capital has been in a state of martial law. The soldiers and horses of the five cities are patrolling the city, and there are even soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp guarding everywhere to strictly guard against any accidents.
Especially with Liu Jin, Jiao Fang, Liu Yu and other eunuch officials being arrested and imprisoned one after another, there is an undercurrent surging in the capital.
Under such circumstances, the troops of Wucheng Bingma Division would go forward and violently disperse them when they saw people gathered in one place, so as to prevent them from defending to the limit.
In the past few days, the Jinyiwei yamen seemed very peaceful, but even so, there were still people watching every move of the Jinyiwei yamen.
In fact, in this capital, apart from the Wucheng soldiers and horses, only the Jinyiwei Yamen can gather a group of people in the shortest time.
When Li Huan and his party appeared in front of Jin Yiwei's yamen, they frightened the people who were secretly staring at Jin Yiwei, and almost spread the news as quickly as possible.
Fan Gang, the military commander of the five cities, got the news, rushed out of the brothel in shock, picked up the people around him and rushed into the long street.
While urging his subordinates to rush, he growled and cursed: "Li Huan is crazy, isn't he in Fujian? Why did he appear in the capital? Everyone in Jinyiwei is crazy. What exactly does Li Huan want? Dare to attack the imperial city, he wants to rebel?"
The news from his subordinates was really shocking. I thought that there was no need to worry about Jin Yiwei, but I never dreamed that Li Huan, who was far away in Fujian, would appear in the capital, and even brought a team of Jin Yiwei to rush to the emperor away from the city.
Fan Gang didn't dare to think too much at all. If he thought about it deeply, it would be too scary.
So what Fan Gang is thinking at the moment is to stop this lunatic Li Huan no matter what, otherwise, who knows what he will do.
When the panting Fan Gang appeared on the long street leading to the imperial city with a team of people, he was relieved to be sure that Li Huan's men had not passed by, and at the same time ordered his men to stand by.
In less than half a cup of tea, the ground trembled slightly, and Fan Gang and others saw a group of men and horses dressed in brocade and guard robes roaring towards the long street in the distance. It was Li Huan who was known as a murderous maniac.
For some reason, the moment he saw Li Huan, Fan Gang had a bad feeling in his heart.
But before he had time to think about it, seeing that Li Huan and the others were about to charge up, Fan Gang immediately rode his horse forward and shouted loudly: "Come on, stop. If you dare to gallop wildly in the capital, I won't let you dismount!"
At this moment, Wang Yangming took a look at the Wucheng soldiers and horses blocking the way, sighed softly and said to Li Huan: "Li Huan, are you sure you want to do this? If you make a wrong calculation, I'm afraid you will die a very miserable death. "
A bright light flashed in Li Huan's eyes and said: "If Mr. Yang Ming is afraid, he can leave as much as he wants."
Wang Yangming shook his head slowly, with a strange look in his eyes, he said: "Master Li, you dare to die to save His Majesty, why can't Wang go crazy with you once?"
Li Huan laughed loudly, his eyes fell on Fan Gang, and he immediately shouted: "Everyone who doesn't want to die, get out of the way!"
"Oh my god, that's Li Huan, the murderous maniac is here!"
"How is it possible, how could this devil be in the capital!"
It's fine if others don't know Li Huan, but the people in Wucheng Bingma Division are definitely no strangers to Li Huan, so many people recognized Li Huan at a glance.
It has to be said that Li Huan's reputation in the capital entrusted the glory of some people, and it can be said that he is not much worse than the devil. This appearance made many soldiers flustered.
Although there were still more than ten zhang away, but being stared at by Li Huan, Fan Gang's heart was full of danger, but thinking of the order he had received, he immediately shouted: "Li Huan, get off the horse quickly, do you want to rebel?"
Li Huan didn't intend to stop at all, and directly bumped into him. At the same time, Fan Gang felt a pain in his neck, and the next moment his head fell to the ground, his headless body shook on the horse's back and fell directly onto the ground. land.
"The Commander is dead, the Commander is dead!"
Some soldiers who tried to stop Li Huan and his party were directly knocked into the air or killed by the Jin Yiwei with their knives. They broke through the barrier in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a mess and screams all over the ground, and roared away.
The people hiding in the corners were full of curiosity at first, but what happened, they actually asked the people from Wucheng Bingmasi to set up a trap here to stop them.
But he never expected to see such a scene, especially when he heard the shouts of the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division, the memory of Li Huan suddenly emerged in his mind.
Looking at the figure of Jin Yiwei who had gone away, and looking at the miserable soldiers and horses of the five cities who were killed, many people felt a little emotion in their hearts.
"It's true that Li Huan is back!"
Chen Yao was covered in blood, but he laughed excitedly and said, "I'm so happy, I'm so happy, the soldiers and horses of the five cities dare to stop our Jinyiwei. Is it a lie to treat me as the emperor's pro-army?"
Yue Buqun at the side was wearing the official uniform of a hundred household guards in brocade clothes, recalling in his mind the scene where Li Huan swung his knife and beheaded the commander of the five city soldiers and horses without hesitation, he couldn't help showing a bit of a strange expression look.
Li Huan looked calm, as if what he did before was a trivial matter.
At this time, Li Huan's expression was solemn. For him, he might still have hope of survival if he fought hard. Time sends him on his way, and I'm afraid Liu Jin's punishment of cutting into pieces by a thousand knives will also be punished on him.
"Your Majesty, don't let me down!"
With such a thought flashing through his mind, Li Huan's eyes were full of determination.
Booming, the sound of horseshoes exploding, and soon rushed to the palace gate.
Gao Changsheng, the commander of the Beijing camp who had already received the news first, was waiting for it. Although he believed that the news from Fan Gang was completely false and Li Huan would never appear in the capital, Gao Changsheng still gathered just in case. People and horses took precautions, and immediately passed the news to the cabinet Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and several cabinet elders.
When Li Huan appeared in Gao Changsheng's line of sight with the blood-stained Jinyiwei who was full of evil spirits, the chicken leg in Gao Changsheng's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and he jumped up straight away. He said: "Damn it, what did Fan Gang do to eat? Why didn't he stop him? Also, could it be that Li Huan had grown wings? How did he rush back to the capital from Fujian in such a short period of time?"
However, the roar was roaring, but Gao Changsheng, surrounded by his own soldiers, stopped in front of the palace gate and shouted at Li Huan who was approaching: "Li Huan, what do you want to do? This is the forbidden area of the palace. So, that's a capital offense."
Li Huan looked calmly, looked at Gao Changsheng's neck indifferently and said, "Uncle Gao, get out of the way or die!"
Stared at by Li Huan, Gao Changsheng only felt his neck was chilly, subconsciously shrunk his neck, and then became angry from embarrassment: "You are so brave, before this palace today, you dare to kill Uncle Ben!"
[The first update will be delivered, there will be another update tonight, please order, monthly pass, reward. 】
(End of this chapter)
Yang Tinghe was stunned when he heard the words, and then showed a bit of anger and said: "It's such a thing, who on earth dares to prevent the old man from entering the palace to see him, don't you know that the old man can enter the palace to see you at any time The right to drive, good to kill, good old Duke to kill."
Looking back at Gao Changsheng with disdain, Zhang Mao looked at Yang Tinghe, casually threw the blood-stained long knife in his hand to the private soldiers in the mansion behind him and said, "So Yang Ge also thinks that man should be killed?"
Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "Of course it should be killed, even the old Duke dares to stop him, what a pity to kill!"
Zhang Mao said to the private soldiers, "We are all waiting here."
As soon as these private soldiers agreed, they only gave the surrounding Beijing soldiers a jump in horror, even Yang Tinghe couldn't help but twitched his mouth when he saw this scene.
Zhang Mao strode into the imperial city, ignoring Gao Changsheng's intentions.
Yang Tinghe nodded at Gao Changsheng with a smile, winked, then quickly followed Zhang Mao's footsteps and said with a smile: "The old Duke is not enjoying blessings in the mansion, why do you want to come to the palace?"
Zhang Mao glanced at Yang Tinghe indifferently, and suddenly sneered and said, "Mr. Yang Ge, you are so courageous. You even concealed such a big incident in the palace. What do you want?" doing what?"
Although he knew that Zhang Mao might have gotten the news, Yang Tinghe was still a little surprised when he heard Zhang Mao's questioning.
However, Yang Tinghe obviously had a plan for this, and he just sighed softly when he heard the words: "What kind of words are you talking about, old man? It seems that Yang and the others are people with ulterior motives."
Zhang Mao didn't answer, but looked at Yang Tinghe fixedly, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Yang Tinghe said helplessly: "Since the old Duke has already known about it, I will no longer hide it from the Duke. His Majesty was assassinated and is still in a coma. The queen mother urgently called me and a few others into the palace. After we discussed with the queen mother, in order to To avoid unnecessary chaos caused by the news of His Majesty's assassination, with the permission of the Empress Dowager, Chang Ningbo's men were dispatched to seal the palace gate."
Speaking of which, Yang Tinghe looked at Zhang Mao and said, "The matter is as simple as that. It is definitely not like the old man thought, there are many conspiracies and tricks."
After listening to Yang Tinghe's explanation, Zhang Mao's originally gloomy face finally dissipated a bit, and he still said with concern: "Where is Your Majesty, I am going to see Your Majesty."
Yang Tinghe hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is recovering from illness in Jinglan Hall, and the Empress Dowager and Empress are guarding His Majesty there, so the old Duke can rest assured."
Hearing that Zhu Houzhao was in Jinglan Hall, Zhang Mao immediately ran towards Jinglan Hall.
Jinglan Palace is surrounded by a large number of imperial city guards. At this time, these imperial city guards are tense and wary of all people and things approaching Jinglan Palace.
When Zhang Mao and Yang Tinghe appeared in front of the Jinglan Palace, one of the guards of the imperial city walked out and blocked the way: "Old Duke, Yang Ge, the important place of Jinglan Palace, without the permission of the Queen Mother and the Chief Assistant, anyone No trespassing allowed."
At this moment, Yang Tinghe coughed lightly, and hurriedly explained to Zhang Mao: "Old Duke, everything is for the safety of His Majesty."
Speaking of which, Yang Tinghe said to the guard of the imperial city: "Hurry up and go to Queen Mother Tongbing, and say that the old Duke is here!"
Zhang Mao's eyes patrolled the imperial city guards, folded his hands in front of him, and looked at the Jinglan Palace in front of him with a calm expression.
Soon, I saw a small servant hurried over. When his eyes fell on Zhang Mao and Yang Tinghe, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward to Zhang Mao, Yang Tinghe and saluted: "Old Duke, Mr. Yang Ge , Your Majesty please!"
Zhang Mao nodded slightly, and strode into Jinglan Hall.
A strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine came, and Zhang Mao frowned when he smelled the smell of Chinese medicine.
As if noticing Zhang Mao's reaction, Yang Tinghe said in a low voice: "It has been several days since your majesty was assassinated, and all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital have seen it for your majesty, but there is nothing to do. Now we can only rely on medicinal soup Hanging my life, I'm afraid..."
Zhang Mao's complexion suddenly became much gloomy, and he strode into the inner hall, his eyes fell directly on the bed.
On the bed, the young emperor was lying there silently, while the Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Xia were sitting aside, watching with worried faces.
Hearing the movement, Queen Mother Zhang turned her head and looked at Zhang Mao.
On the other hand, Zhang Mao took a few steps forward, bowed directly to the bed, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister is here!"
It's a pity that Zhu Houzhao, who was lying there, didn't respond at all to Zhang Mao's call.
At this moment, the queen mother saw the sad look on Zhang Mao's face and couldn't help but said to Zhang Yong who was standing aside: "Zhang Yong, the old man is getting old, and it is cold on the ground, quickly help the old man up!"
As he spoke, he said to the servant: "Hurry up and give the old Duke a seat!"
Zhang Mao got up slowly, did not sit down, but took a deep breath, glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and then said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I have a little knowledge of medical skills, can you please take a look for Your Majesty?" .”
Empress Dowager Zhang nodded to Zhang Mao and said, "Since the old Duke has such a heart, then I will trouble the Duke."
Zhang Mao arched his hands at Empress Dowager Zhang, walked slowly to the edge of the bed, reached out to lift Zhu Houzhao's arm, put one hand on his wrist, and concentrated on his pulse diagnosis.
Zhang Mao's brows gradually frowned. Under Zhang Mao's induction, Zhu Houzhao's pulse beat for a long time, and the beating was weak. It can even be said that if you don't feel it carefully, you can't feel it. This kind of pulse is not a good sign. .
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Mao leaned forward again and listened to the emperor's heart. He even checked the emperor's pupils, and the expression on his face became more serious.
No one bothered Zhang Mao at this time, and when Zhang Mao put Zhu Houzhao's arm back into the quilt, the Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhang Mao with some expectation and said, "Old Duke, what happened to Your Majesty? ..."
A smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Mao's face, and he smiled slightly at the queen mother and the queen: "The queen mother, empress empress, your majesty is just in a coma due to trauma, nothing serious, and after a few days of recuperation, you may wake up."
The queen mother's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she trembled with joy: "Is what the old man said true? Does your majesty really only need to rest for a while before he is all right?"
Zhang Mao said with a smile: "The old minister has never lied in his life, can the queen mother still not trust the old minister?"
Empress Dowager Zhang seemed to be infused with a surge of vitality, and said with high spirits: "Okay, okay, with the words of the old man, I can feel at ease."
Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Zhang stretched out her hand to caress Zhu Houzhao's cheek, and said with some anticipation: "Emperor, you have to wake up soon, mother has no other relatives except you!"
Zhang Mao glanced at the Empress Dowager and Empress Xia, and slowly got up and said, "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, the old minister has something to say to Elder Yang Ge, please leave first."
Empress Dowager Zhang nodded when she heard the words: "Old Duke, you can do whatever you want."
Walking out of the inner hall, Zhang Mao's eyes fell on Yang Tinghe and the others, his eyes shone brightly and he said in a deep voice: "What's going on, why did His Majesty suffer such a serious injury?"
Regarding Zhang Mao's furious reaction, Yang Ting and the others did not find it strange.
Yang Tinghe sighed softly and said: "This is not a place to talk, the old man will come with Yang."
Soon a few people came to a side hall on the side, where Zhang Mao saw the first assistant Yang Tinghe, the Minister of Rites Fei Hong, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials Mao Ji and others.
In addition, there are also officials from Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Punishment. The three divisions gathered together.
When they saw Zhang Mao, a group of officials hurriedly saluted Zhang Mao.
Zhang Mao glanced at the crowd, looked at Li Dongyang coldly and said, "Li Dongyang, why did His Majesty be assassinated, and who sent the assassin, don't tell me, you haven't found anything these days, right?"
Li Dongyang got up and said: "Old Duke, please calm down. Your Majesty has suffered such a catastrophe. We, the courtiers, are naturally very sad. The assassin was taken down at the first time. Now he is being tried by the third division. There are already some eyebrows."
As he spoke, Li Dongyang looked at Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and said, "Master Yu, how the case is progressing, let you tell the old man about it."
Yu Qing hurriedly stepped forward to salute Zhang Mao: "Return to the old man, His Majesty returned to the palace on July [-]th, and called six maids to attend the bed that night, and was injured by the maid strangling her neck with a ribbon that night. When Qiu Ju, the chief eunuch serving His Majesty, noticed something was wrong, the two court ladies who committed the murder had already hanged themselves to death, and now only the other four court ladies are being detained for interrogation."
As he spoke, Yu Qing paused and said, "According to our investigation, the two court ladies who hanged themselves to death were a few years ago, Qian Ning, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, was ordered by the chief manager Liu Jin to find the women from Jiangnan. Dedicated to the emperor, we suspect that Liu Jin assassinated the emperor..."
Zhang Mao listened to Yu Qing's words, and sneered in his heart. Even if these people changed their suspects, he would believe it, but if he believed that Liu Jin would send someone to assassinate the emperor, wouldn't Zhang Mao be a fool? .
What is Liu Jin's situation in the court, can't he see clearly?Without the emperor, Liu Jin would be nothing, not to mention that Liu Jin was going to assassinate the emperor, but if Liu Jin knew who was trying to harm the emperor, Liu Jin would tear him apart immediately.
Seeing that Zhang Mao did not speak, Yu Qing said solemnly: "Now that Qian Ning has confessed, Liu Jin specially ordered him to select those women, because the two women who assassinated His Majesty have hanged themselves to death, but all the evidence is enough to prove it. It was he, Liu Jin, who sent people to assassinate His Majesty."
Zhang Mao didn't listen to the other party's words, but looked at Li Dongyang and the others, and said coldly: "I don't care what you do, but the capital can't be chaotic, and the world can't be chaotic, otherwise..."
After speaking, Zhang Mao turned around and left.
Seeing Zhang Mao leaving rudely, several officials couldn't help showing dissatisfaction, and even a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment sneered: "You make yourself look like a loyal minister. He is a prince, what can he do to me?"
When Yang Tinghe heard the words, he immediately reprimanded: "You are so courageous. You are the British Duke who is retired from the country and the head of the nobles. You dare to be so rude. Do you still have the court in your eyes?"
Seeing Yang Tinghe's furious appearance, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake: "Your official made a slip of the tongue, please don't blame the old man."
At this moment, Li Dongyang coughed lightly, looked at the crowd and said, "Okay, now let's discuss how to take Liu Jin down."
The third division has now produced evidence that Liu Jin assassinated the emperor. As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Li Dongyang naturally wanted to take Liu Jin down immediately. Otherwise, if the queen mother asked about it, it would be his dereliction of duty.
Hearing Li Dongyang's words, everyone's faces showed excitement and relief.
In the past few years, they have been fighting with Liu Jin in the court and in the local area, and even many people have suffered from Liu Jin, but this time, they can finally take revenge for everything they have endured in the past.
Fei Hong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's not easy, he Liu Jin is the chief inspector of ceremonies, but we can't take him directly, but we can ask the Queen Mother to order, as long as there is an order from the Queen Mother, we can take him down." He Liu Jin, isn't that easy?"
As they spoke, several people looked at Li Dongyang, and Li Dongyang pondered slightly: "Since that's the case, follow me to report this matter to the Queen Mother."
From a distance, the Forbidden City in the dark looks like a huge monster perched on the vast land.
The city gate had already been closed, and the soldiers guarding the city at the gate were yawning and trying to hold on, and some even leaned against the city wall and fell asleep naively.
At this moment, there was a wailing sound of a war horse outside the city gate, followed by a thud, as if some heavy object fell violently to the ground.
Li Huan lashed the war horse under him fiercely, looked at the capital in the distance, and couldn't help showing a bit of relief on his dusty face.
Suddenly, the war horse under him let out a wail, and fell to the ground directly, but Li Huan was not surprised at all. He and Wang Yangming traveled day and night along the way, eating immediately when hungry, and sleeping immediately when sleepy. , except for people touching the ground when changing horses, the rest of the time is all on the horse.
Relying on this speed, it took less than four days to travel from Fujian to Beijing. Considering the road traffic conditions in this era, this speed is definitely very scary.
Following the impact, Li Huan jumped up and landed firmly on the ground.
Soon there was the sound of horseshoes behind them. It was Wang Yangming, Yue Buqun, Meng Hui, Du Guang, Cao Yu, and Chen Yao.
When several people reined in the horses under them and stopped, suddenly the horses under them foamed at the mouth one by one and fell to the ground, but they had galloped for hundreds of miles overnight, and they had completely drained everything.
Previously, he was running on instinct, but now that he stopped, he couldn't hold on anymore.
Not in the mood to cherish these war horses, Li Huan's eyes fell on the city wall of the capital.
Such a commotion under the city wall naturally caused the soldiers guarding the city to be very nervous.
Li Huan looked at the closed city gate, and frowned slightly. Hearing the voices of shouting and questioning on the city wall, Li Huan said to Chen Yao, Meng Hui, and Du Guang, "You guys cleaned up the corpses of these war horses." , Don’t let us know where we are.”
After hearing this, the three of Chen Yao quickly responded.
Li Huan's move naturally did not want to expose the fact that he had rushed back from Fujian. Although he said that even if he didn't deal with the corpses of these horses, the soldiers guarding the city during the day might not think of him when they found them, but in the end? A hidden danger is not.
It has been seven or eight days since the emperor was assassinated until he received the news and then rushed back all the way. During this time, what happened in the capital and what kind of situation is it in? , This needs to be considered by Li Huan.
If the emperor is safe, everything will be fine.
But if the emperor's situation is really bad, it means that the capital is now a den of dragons and tigers, and if one accidentally breaks in, there will be no bones left.
Even if Li Huanyi is a brave man, he dare not be careless in the slightest.
Wang Yangming, who was also dressed in dusty clothes, looked away from the high city wall, then looked at Li Huan and said, "Master Li, what shall we do next?"
Li Huan said slowly: "Of course it's entering the city!"
It is obviously impossible to enter the city through the city gate in the middle of the night through the normal way, but Li Huan has no plan to enter the city through the city gate.
Soon a few people found a remote place and listened attentively. Li Huan had already confirmed that all the soldiers on the night watch on this section of the city wall were asleep. , and then tapped his toe on the city wall, and with this force, he climbed up the city wall lightly.
With a sweep of his gaze, as expected by Li Huan, several soldiers patrolling the city were leaning against the city wall with their weapons in their hands, falling asleep.
After a few ups and downs, Li Huan had already tapped the sleeping points of several nearby soldiers. Unless he was awakened by someone, otherwise, he would at least sleep until dawn.
Under Li Huan's call, Wang Yangming, Yue Buqun, and Cao Yu also climbed up the city wall and sneaked into the city quietly.
Chen Ke, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, has a house in the capital, and the house is only the size of two entrances. Compared with many officials' mansions that often occupy an area of one or two acres, it is naturally very inconspicuous.
That day, Chen Ke was sleeping, and suddenly he felt alert, turned over suddenly, almost instinctively rolled his hands and patted the person in front of him.
But the next moment a deep voice rang in his ears, and at the same time, the palm that was slapped was also firmly grasped by the wrist.
"it's me!"
Hearing that familiar voice, even though the room was dark, Chen Ke had already recognized that it was Li Huan's voice, and his tense body immediately relaxed.
Suppressing the horror in his heart, Chen Ke whispered: "My lord, why did you come back!"
Hearing Chen Ke's words, Li Huan couldn't help feeling tense. After receiving Chen Ke's secret letter, he rushed back almost immediately, and he didn't dare to delay on the way.
Now that Chen Ke said so, could it be that he came back too late?
Chen Ke seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly lit the candle, and by the light of the fire, he could see Li Huan clearly.
After looking at it, Chen Ke couldn't help being stunned for a moment. If he hadn't been sure that the person who came was Li Huan, he would have almost failed to recognize him.
Li Huan is really covered in dust at the moment, his hair is disheveled, his face is covered by wind and sand, and even his clothes are covered with dust. One can tell how Li Huan got here all the way.
Li Huan frowned and looked at Chen Ke and said, "Quickly tell me, what is your Majesty doing now, what is the situation in the capital? Who is ruling the court now!"
Chen Ke heard the words and hurriedly said: "My lord, it has been nearly ten days since His Majesty was assassinated. In the past two days, Eunuch Liu Jin and one of his party members were successively taken down by the Queen Mother and thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. , Yang Ting and the two cabinet elders are in charge."
Li Huan couldn't help but wondered: "Don't Liu Jin have the strength to resist at all? How can you say that if you are taken down, you will be taken down?"
Chen Ke said with a wry smile: "Because the assassin was sent by Eunuch Liu Jin, coupled with the Queen Mother's order, Eunuch Liu was directly confined in the mansion. Within two days, Eunuch Liu's mansion was surrounded by soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp. Outsiders can't see it, so what can he do?"
Li Huan couldn't help but sneered and said, "It's such a joke that Liu Jin assassinated the emperor, even the civil and military officials of the whole court believed it."
Chen Kedao: "Why don't you believe it? Now that Eunuch Liu's party has been taken down, the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty clapped their hands and called the Queen Mother wise."
Taking a deep breath, Li Huan said, "Where is Your Majesty, do you have any news from His Majesty?"
Chen Ke shook his head and said: "The gate of the palace has been blocked by the Beijing camp, and even the commander of the imperial palace guards has been replaced, and our Jin Yiwei can't even get any news from the palace. What's going on with your Majesty, I'm afraid there are only two of you. The elder Ge and the old Duke know about it."
Li Huan pondered, and couldn't help turning his eyes to the direction of the Forbidden City, thinking that he wanted to know what happened to the emperor, and he was afraid that he would sneak into the palace to find out.
Seemingly seeing what Li Huan was thinking, Chen Ke's expression changed slightly and he said, "My lord, don't even think about sneaking into the palace. Earlier, Eunuch Liu sent people to sneak into the palace to inquire about the news, but in the end they were caught. He was directly convicted of murdering the emperor, and now the palace is heavily guarded, no matter how powerful your lord is, he may not be able to get close to the emperor's bedroom."
Hearing what Chen Ke said, Li Huan frowned. In this way, his previous method of sneaking into the palace and first determining what the emperor was like would not work.
No matter how confident he was, he didn't think that he could break into the palace by force. It was really a place where one or two martial arts masters could enter and leave at will.
Seeing Li Huan lost in thought, Chen Ke didn't dare to disturb Li Huan.
Not long after, Li Huan said to Chen Ke: "Chen Ke, go and settle the few people outside, and then call me a trusted Jin Yiwei to listen to my orders at any time."
After speaking, Li Huan went straight out of Chen Ke's residence, and ordered Yue Buqun to go with him.Li Huan identified the direction in the night, and then the two went straight to the same direction.
British government.
As the most honorable noble in the capital, the British government is already heavily guarded. Coupled with the changes that have occurred in the capital in the past few days, teams of elite family private soldiers are patrolling the British government, let alone ordinary people. Xiao Xiao is too young, even if a few people from the rivers and lakes come, I'm afraid they will come and go.
But at this moment, a figure quietly climbed over the high wall of the British palace, landed silently, avoided the patrolling soldiers, and walked through the British palace.
The British Government House occupies an extremely large area, with pavilions, terraces and pavilions arranged in a well-organized manner. Anyone entering it may feel dizzy and confused, not knowing where they are.
This was the case for Li Huan. Originally, he chose to sneak into the British Duke's residence because he wanted to find the British Duke quietly and learn some news about the emperor from the old Duke.
As for Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang, to be honest, Li Huan really didn't dare to trust each other too much. Who knows if there are any shadows of these people in the assassination of the emperor.
As for the Duke of England, Li Huan did not believe that the other party would be unfavorable to the emperor, and even at critical moments, the Duke of England might be on the side of the emperor, so Li Huan chose to meet the Duke of England.
It's just that the British government house is too big, let alone find out where Zhang Mao lives, Li Huan is a little confused about where he is right now.
Passing through a small garden again, Li Huan found that there was an open space in front of him. There was actually a small martial arts arena in this courtyard.
In the government of this country, those who are qualified to live in such a place are probably of unusual status. Even if they are not the residence of the British Duke, they are considered to be extremely noble.
It’s okay if you can’t find the British public, you just need to ask the other party to take you to find it.
As soon as his heart moved, Li Huan was overjoyed, and after taking a few steps, he rushed to the main room.
Pressing on the door with one hand, and spitting out forcefully with the hand, there was a slight sound, the door latch was shaken off, and the door slowly opened.
Walking into the room, Li Huan only felt a faint fragrance coming, and after sweeping his eyes, he immediately found the aisle leading to the inner room.
Just when Li Huan was about to enter the inner room, he heard the sound of a sword, and then a sword light came.
Li Huan obviously did not expect such a change, but his mind was tense at first. Although the sudden sword strike was unexpected, Li Huan dodged to avoid the stabbing attack that was coming straight to the vital point. At the same time, bully him.
He wants to restrain the other party in the shortest possible time, otherwise, once the other party warns loudly, the guards of the Duke's Mansion will inevitably be recruited.
Li Huan used all his strength in this move, and he didn't hide his clumsiness at all, because Li Huan knew that it might be a moment before the opponent had already issued a warning.
Zhang Lun was dressed in a moon-white tunic, holding a long sword in his hand, and his face was not panicked at all, but a little excited. He thought that the sword would be sure, even if he couldn't kill the thieves who sneaked into the mansion. Killing, at least it can severely injure the opponent.
It was precisely because of his confidence in his sword that Zhang Lun did not choose to call the police the moment he found someone sneaking into his yard.
But what surprised Zhang Lun was that the opponent's strength was far beyond Lun's expectations. The opponent not only avoided his sword, but even accelerated instantly. Before he had time to react, he reached out and grabbed him. throat.
"Boom"
Zhang Lun's throat was locked by Li Huan, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, with a look of surprise and regret on his face.
"I have no malicious intentions. If you agree to alarm others, Li can let you go!"
Zhang Lun, who thought he might be dead this time, suddenly heard Li Huan's words, and his eyes couldn't help showing surprise.
Didn't the other party sneak into the mansion to assassinate him?
Li Huan saw the surprised expression on Zhang Lun's face by the moonlight, his mind turned and he didn't hide his identity, he said: "I'm the Commander of Jin Yiwei, Li Huan, I don't know what to call you?"
Zhang Lun was taken aback when he heard Li Huan's name, and said in horror: "You are a murderer...er, you... aren't you in Fujian? Why did you appear in the capital!"
Li Huan didn't care much about Zhang Lun's failure to call himself a murderous madman. In the eyes of many people, some of his actions might be a murderous madman.
Seeing Li Huan staring at him, Zhang Lun was no longer worried that Li Huan would be unfavorable to him, but said directly: "I'm next to Zhang Lun."
Li Huan frowned, looked at Zhang Lun in surprise, and said, "So it's the young master, but Li was rude!"
As he spoke, Li Huan looked at Zhang Lun and said, "I have no ill intentions towards the young man, but I had no choice but to sneak into your mansion. I hope the young man will keep quiet, so I will let him go."
Zhang Lun nodded, and Li Huan also loosened his grip on Zhang Lun at this moment.
Feeling the powerful hand locking his throat leave, Zhang Lun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the dusty Li Huan with a strange expression.
Only now did Zhang Lun take a good look at Li Huan, and he already understood in his heart that the reason why Li Huan appeared in the capital at this time and in such a state was probably because he had received news of the emperor's accident.
Then the purpose of the other party sneaking into his mansion at this time is self-evident.
"Master Li wants to see Grandpa?"
Li Huan couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Lun, and secretly praised him in his heart. As expected, it was normal for a person who could be trained as the next generation of Duke to guess his purpose after knowing his identity.
Nodding his head slightly, Li Huan looked at Zhang Lun and said, "It's really impolite to come here late at night, and I asked the young man to pass it on for him, saying that Li Huan has something important to discuss with the old man."
Zhang Lun sized up Li Huan and saw that Li Huan's face was full of dust, but his eyes were piercing, resolute and persistent. He just thought about it for a while and said, "In that case, Master Li, I'll go later Grandpa, please come."
Li Huan stepped aside and said, "Li is waiting here!"
When passing by Li Huan, Zhang Lun suddenly said to Li Huan: "Master Li is not afraid that after I go out, I will call the guards to take you down?"
Li Huan said with a smile: "Then Li relied on all his strength to fight out of the British government, right to assume that Li has misunderstood the Duke!"
While speaking, Li Huan suddenly felt something, and suddenly raised his head to look outside.
After looking at it, Li Huan narrowed his eyes and was startled. He saw a tall and tall figure standing on the small martial arts arena. The sword in his hand was slightly lowered. A pair of cold eyes fell on him, and the moonlight fell on him. , the other party seemed to be a fairy under the moon.
Li Huan felt vigilance in his heart, this woman didn't know who she was, and the aura locked on him made him feel a little dangerous.
Following Li Huan's gaze, Zhang Lun also saw the woman, and said in surprise, "Little aunt!"
It was only at this moment that Zhang Jin's gaze shifted away from Li Huan, and a cold voice said, "Lun'er, is there something wrong?"
Zhang Lun and Li Huan naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Jin's words, only to hear Zhang Lun laughing and said: "I didn't expect it, but I alarmed my little aunt. If my aunt is fine, go and rest first!"
That cold gaze swept over Li Huan, and finally looked at Zhang Lun, as if he was sure that Zhang Lun was telling the truth, then he nodded slightly, and left with a shake of his figure.
Only then did Zhang Lun smile at Li Huan and said, "Lord Li, wait a little later, I'll go see grandpa right now."
Li Huan nodded slightly.
Not long after, Li Huan heard footsteps approaching. When he looked up, he saw the gray-haired Zhang Mao striding forward. Although he was old, his steps were vigorous and powerful, and there was a sense of resoluteness in his steps.
Li Huan stepped forward to salute Zhang Mao and said, "Your officer, Jin Yiwei Commander Tongzhi, Li Huan, the governor of the Chinese army's governor's mansion, pays his respects to the old Duke."
Zhang Mao looked at Li Huan carefully, his eyes were full of satisfaction, he nodded slightly and said: "You came to find me, but it is for His Majesty's business."
Li Huan raised his head and looked at Zhang Mao: "I don't know what your Majesty is doing, please let me know."
Zhang Mao saw the worry in Li Huan's eyes, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty's situation is quite bad. Not long ago, the old man personally felt His Majesty's pulse, and he could hardly sense His Majesty's pulse, and even his heartbeat was extremely weak. I haven't woken up yet change."
Frowning, Li Huan stared at Zhang Mao and said, "Your Majesty is really just in a coma, not..."
Zhang Mao naturally understood Li Huan's unspoken meaning, nodded and said: "Your Majesty is indeed still here, but how long he can last, but no one dares to say."
Li Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed softly: "As long as His Majesty is still here, there is still time for everything."
Hearing these words, Zhang Mao was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Li Huan rather puzzled, but Li Huan suddenly asked again: "Who actually harmed His Majesty?"
Zhang Mao glanced at Li Huan, shook his head slowly and said, "I can only be sure that it's neither Liu Jin nor Li Dongyang. As for who it is, I really don't know."
Li Huan bowed to Zhang Mao and said: "Since that's the case, Mr. Li would like to thank the old man for explaining my doubts. I will leave now. If there is any impoliteness, I hope the old man will forgive me."
As Li Huan jumped up and down, Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun disappeared after a few ups and downs.
Just after Li Huan left, a figure quietly appeared next to Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun. It wasn't Zhang Jin who had already left, who was it? It was only at this moment that the long sword in Zhang Jin's hand was returned. sheath.
"This man hides a tiger in his heart, it's very dangerous!"
Zhang Mao took a look at Zhang Jin, nodded slightly and said, "This man is a lucky minister of the Son of Heaven, he acts recklessly and can be called daring, fortunately he is not an unreasonable person, but he can be regarded as a talent."
Zhang Lun couldn't help but said, "Grandpa, it's useless for Li Huan to rush back to the capital from Fujian day and night. Now that the overall situation has been settled, unless the emperor can wake up, he may eventually be like Liu Jin, unable to escape the liquidation of the civil official group."
But when Li Huan left the British government, Yue Buqun, who had been hiding in the dark, appeared. At this time, the sky was already pale, and the rising sun could be vaguely seen.
The capital in the early morning was the same as before, although there were few people, but with the rising sun, the bustle was still there.
Li Huan had already freshened up and changed into a flying fish suit. He was riding on a war horse, and behind him was a group of elite guards carefully selected by Chen Ke.
Although there were only a hundred people, they were all Li Huan's confidantes gathered in Jinyiwei in the past few years, but anyone who was untrustworthy was excluded.
Li Huan turned his head and smiled at Wang Yangming who was beside him: "Mr. Yangming, may I go crazy with Li again!"
Wang Yangming, who had just learned of Li Huan's plan, was really overwhelmed by Li Huan's audacity and madness. If he hadn't seen that Li Huan had summoned so many guards, Wang Yangming would have suspected that Li Huan was joking with him. .
However, Li Huan was not joking with him. Hearing this, Wang Yangming could only smile bitterly and said, "Wang says he doesn't want it now, but is there still time?"
Li Huan laughed loudly and said, "Of course it's too late."
As he spoke, Li Huan yelled at the group of Jinyi guards behind him: "Brothers, the emperor is in trouble. As the emperor's army, we don't even know whether the emperor is alive or dead. How can we call ourselves the emperor's army? I am worthy of the Son of Heaven's trust, Li wants to meet the Son of Heaven today, and all the lords are willing to go with me."
"I would like to follow my lord and meet His Majesty!"
"I would like to follow my lord and meet His Majesty!"
Li Huan flicked the cloak on his body, whipped his horsewhip and shouted, "Let's go!"
Shangbai Jinyiwei galloped along the long street. Although there were few people on the long street, everyone who had such a terrifying momentum looked sideways at him.
In the past few days, the capital has been in a state of martial law. The soldiers and horses of the five cities are patrolling the city, and there are even soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp guarding everywhere to strictly guard against any accidents.
Especially with Liu Jin, Jiao Fang, Liu Yu and other eunuch officials being arrested and imprisoned one after another, there is an undercurrent surging in the capital.
Under such circumstances, the troops of Wucheng Bingma Division would go forward and violently disperse them when they saw people gathered in one place, so as to prevent them from defending to the limit.
In the past few days, the Jinyiwei yamen seemed very peaceful, but even so, there were still people watching every move of the Jinyiwei yamen.
In fact, in this capital, apart from the Wucheng soldiers and horses, only the Jinyiwei Yamen can gather a group of people in the shortest time.
When Li Huan and his party appeared in front of Jin Yiwei's yamen, they frightened the people who were secretly staring at Jin Yiwei, and almost spread the news as quickly as possible.
Fan Gang, the military commander of the five cities, got the news, rushed out of the brothel in shock, picked up the people around him and rushed into the long street.
While urging his subordinates to rush, he growled and cursed: "Li Huan is crazy, isn't he in Fujian? Why did he appear in the capital? Everyone in Jinyiwei is crazy. What exactly does Li Huan want? Dare to attack the imperial city, he wants to rebel?"
The news from his subordinates was really shocking. I thought that there was no need to worry about Jin Yiwei, but I never dreamed that Li Huan, who was far away in Fujian, would appear in the capital, and even brought a team of Jin Yiwei to rush to the emperor away from the city.
Fan Gang didn't dare to think too much at all. If he thought about it deeply, it would be too scary.
So what Fan Gang is thinking at the moment is to stop this lunatic Li Huan no matter what, otherwise, who knows what he will do.
When the panting Fan Gang appeared on the long street leading to the imperial city with a team of people, he was relieved to be sure that Li Huan's men had not passed by, and at the same time ordered his men to stand by.
In less than half a cup of tea, the ground trembled slightly, and Fan Gang and others saw a group of men and horses dressed in brocade and guard robes roaring towards the long street in the distance. It was Li Huan who was known as a murderous maniac.
For some reason, the moment he saw Li Huan, Fan Gang had a bad feeling in his heart.
But before he had time to think about it, seeing that Li Huan and the others were about to charge up, Fan Gang immediately rode his horse forward and shouted loudly: "Come on, stop. If you dare to gallop wildly in the capital, I won't let you dismount!"
At this moment, Wang Yangming took a look at the Wucheng soldiers and horses blocking the way, sighed softly and said to Li Huan: "Li Huan, are you sure you want to do this? If you make a wrong calculation, I'm afraid you will die a very miserable death. "
A bright light flashed in Li Huan's eyes and said: "If Mr. Yang Ming is afraid, he can leave as much as he wants."
Wang Yangming shook his head slowly, with a strange look in his eyes, he said: "Master Li, you dare to die to save His Majesty, why can't Wang go crazy with you once?"
Li Huan laughed loudly, his eyes fell on Fan Gang, and he immediately shouted: "Everyone who doesn't want to die, get out of the way!"
"Oh my god, that's Li Huan, the murderous maniac is here!"
"How is it possible, how could this devil be in the capital!"
It's fine if others don't know Li Huan, but the people in Wucheng Bingma Division are definitely no strangers to Li Huan, so many people recognized Li Huan at a glance.
It has to be said that Li Huan's reputation in the capital entrusted the glory of some people, and it can be said that he is not much worse than the devil. This appearance made many soldiers flustered.
Although there were still more than ten zhang away, but being stared at by Li Huan, Fan Gang's heart was full of danger, but thinking of the order he had received, he immediately shouted: "Li Huan, get off the horse quickly, do you want to rebel?"
Li Huan didn't intend to stop at all, and directly bumped into him. At the same time, Fan Gang felt a pain in his neck, and the next moment his head fell to the ground, his headless body shook on the horse's back and fell directly onto the ground. land.
"The Commander is dead, the Commander is dead!"
Some soldiers who tried to stop Li Huan and his party were directly knocked into the air or killed by the Jin Yiwei with their knives. They broke through the barrier in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a mess and screams all over the ground, and roared away.
The people hiding in the corners were full of curiosity at first, but what happened, they actually asked the people from Wucheng Bingmasi to set up a trap here to stop them.
But he never expected to see such a scene, especially when he heard the shouts of the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division, the memory of Li Huan suddenly emerged in his mind.
Looking at the figure of Jin Yiwei who had gone away, and looking at the miserable soldiers and horses of the five cities who were killed, many people felt a little emotion in their hearts.
"It's true that Li Huan is back!"
Chen Yao was covered in blood, but he laughed excitedly and said, "I'm so happy, I'm so happy, the soldiers and horses of the five cities dare to stop our Jinyiwei. Is it a lie to treat me as the emperor's pro-army?"
Yue Buqun at the side was wearing the official uniform of a hundred household guards in brocade clothes, recalling in his mind the scene where Li Huan swung his knife and beheaded the commander of the five city soldiers and horses without hesitation, he couldn't help showing a bit of a strange expression look.
Li Huan looked calm, as if what he did before was a trivial matter.
At this time, Li Huan's expression was solemn. For him, he might still have hope of survival if he fought hard. Time sends him on his way, and I'm afraid Liu Jin's punishment of cutting into pieces by a thousand knives will also be punished on him.
"Your Majesty, don't let me down!"
With such a thought flashing through his mind, Li Huan's eyes were full of determination.
Booming, the sound of horseshoes exploding, and soon rushed to the palace gate.
Gao Changsheng, the commander of the Beijing camp who had already received the news first, was waiting for it. Although he believed that the news from Fan Gang was completely false and Li Huan would never appear in the capital, Gao Changsheng still gathered just in case. People and horses took precautions, and immediately passed the news to the cabinet Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and several cabinet elders.
When Li Huan appeared in Gao Changsheng's line of sight with the blood-stained Jinyiwei who was full of evil spirits, the chicken leg in Gao Changsheng's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and he jumped up straight away. He said: "Damn it, what did Fan Gang do to eat? Why didn't he stop him? Also, could it be that Li Huan had grown wings? How did he rush back to the capital from Fujian in such a short period of time?"
However, the roar was roaring, but Gao Changsheng, surrounded by his own soldiers, stopped in front of the palace gate and shouted at Li Huan who was approaching: "Li Huan, what do you want to do? This is the forbidden area of the palace. So, that's a capital offense."
Li Huan looked calmly, looked at Gao Changsheng's neck indifferently and said, "Uncle Gao, get out of the way or die!"
Stared at by Li Huan, Gao Changsheng only felt his neck was chilly, subconsciously shrunk his neck, and then became angry from embarrassment: "You are so brave, before this palace today, you dare to kill Uncle Ben!"
