Chapter 172 Li Qing, kill me hard! 【order】

Under the power of the emperor, Qiu Ju hurriedly knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao, weeping and told what happened after Zhu Houzhao was assassinated.

It's just that what Qiu Ju knew was part of what happened before he was imprisoned in the side hall. As for what happened after he was imprisoned in the side hall, Qiu Ju was not too clear.

Even if he had learned some simple news from Zhang Yong before, but without specific understanding, Qiu Ju naturally did not dare to fully believe Zhang Yong's words, so Qiu Ju said that he was locked up stopped when.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, obviously from Qiu Ju, he could only know about the series of arrangements that Qiu Ju made when he found out that he was assassinated.

Qiu Ju, who was kneeling on the ground, secretly glanced at Zhu Houzhao. Seeing Zhu Houzhao sitting there expressionless, he couldn't help feeling nervous.

This nervousness naturally began to frantically think about everything he did during the assassination of the emperor, and whether there was anything wrong with it, so this made the emperor uneasy.

All of a sudden, Qiu Ju kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "This servant is guilty, this servant is guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Originally, Zhu Houzhao was thinking about how he was poisoned and why he fell into a coma so that the assassin had an opportunity.

Suddenly seeing Qiu Ju kowtowing to himself to apologize, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help frowning, looked at Qiu Ju and said, "Qiu Daban, what's your crime?"

Not only Zhu Hou was looking after Qiu Ju, but also Empress Xia, Empress Dowager, Li Huan, and Zhang Yong were also looking at Qiu Ju.

Many people secretly thought that Qiu Ju had something to do with the assassination of the emperor.

Qiu Ju was stared at by everyone, and he said nervously: "Your Majesty, the servants should not have informed Jin Yiwei of the news after His Majesty was assassinated."

Hearing what Qiu Ju said, everyone couldn't help being stunned, even the emperor was stunned.

That's right, Qiu Ju also said just now that after seeing the emperor being assassinated, he subconsciously thought of Li Huan, so he ordered someone to inform the people in Jin Yiwei.

Normally speaking, Qiu Ju's actions are naturally a serious crime, involving leaking the secrets of the palace, the guilt can be big or small, it just depends on what the emperor thinks.

If the emperor believed that Qiu Ju was colluding with foreign ministers and plotting wrongdoing, then Qiu Ju's crimes were enough to be punished by death.

It's just that Li Huan was obviously involved in this matter, and Qiu Ju himself said that it was because he thought of Li Huan that he informed the Jinyiwei people of the news.

Everyone couldn't help looking at Li Huan who was standing aside.

At this moment, Qiu Ju looked at Li Huan with some embarrassment. After all, if Li Huan was implicated because of him, wouldn't he be ashamed of Li Huan?

On the contrary, Li Huan, even under the gaze of everyone, was still unaffected and just stood there quietly.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Qiu Ju, then at Li Huan, just when everyone thought the emperor would be angry, Zhu Houzhao laughed and said: "I thought it was some big thing, but it turned out to be just this thing. "

Hearing what the emperor said, everyone knew that this matter should have been exposed just like that.

Zhu Houzhao smiled at Li Huan and said, "I just saw Li Qing's expression is calm and not panicked at all."

Li Huan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I and Qiu Dajian are the friends of gentlemen, and I have no heart to spy on the emperor. I have a clear conscience, and I am naturally magnanimous and fearless."

Qiu Ju's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Yes, yes, Brother Li is right, slaves and brothers are friends of gentlemen."

As he said that, Qiu Ju lay in front of Zhu Houzhao, his eyes were red, and he wept silently, "Your Majesty, you don't know that when I see you unconscious, I feel panic in my heart. The first thing I think of is Brother Li, because I have heard Your Majesty say more than once that among the many courtiers, Brother Li is the most Chicheng and has no selfish intentions, if something really happens, Brother Li is definitely the most trustworthy person."

Zhang Yong listened to Qiu Ju's words, and looked at Li Huan with a complicated expression. On the contrary, Li Huan stood there, as if he didn't hear Qiu Ju's words, looking extremely calm.

Qiu Ju said again: "My servant is terrified, I just remember that something happened to Your Majesty, and His Majesty wants to inform Brother Li, because this old slave really doesn't know who to trust and who is worthy of my servant's trust, entrusting His Majesty's safety to him. "

Hearing Qiu Ju's words, Zhu Houzhao was full of emotion in his heart. Just looking at Qiu Ju's appearance, Zhu Houzhao could somewhat understand Qiu Ju's mood at that time.

With a gentle smile on his face, Zhu Houzhao said to Qiu Ju: "Qiu Daban, you did the right thing. I didn't blame you. If even you and Li Qing can't be trusted, who else can I trust?"

Speaking of which, Zhu Hou took a look at Li Huan and said, "Obviously Qiu Daban did the right thing. This time, if Qiu Daban didn't inform Li Qing of my accident at the first time, and Li Qing rushed back in time, I'm afraid it's true. is going to die."

The Empress Dowager Zhang who was on the side heard the words and said quickly: "Bah, bah, what a dead word, this is really unlucky, you will live a long life, my son."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "These days, the empress has troubled me."

But then Zhu Houzhao's expression changed, how did the blood on Li Huan's body come from? With Li Huan's temperament, if he came to see him, it would be impossible to get blood all over his body.

So there must be something hidden in it that he doesn't know.

Besides, Zhu Houzhao also knew that Li Huan had done such a big thing in Fuzhou Mansion that all the civil and military officials in the court wanted to tear Li Huan to pieces, so how could he allow Li Huan to return to Beijing smoothly, let alone let Li Huan Li Huan entered the palace.

According to the usual practice, if the emperor had an accident, the cabinet ministers would be immediately recruited into the palace to assist the empress dowager or empress to stabilize the overall situation.

Based on Zhu Houzhao's understanding of the civil official group, it would be a strange thing if he didn't take Li Huan down while the emperor was in a coma, let alone let Li Huan enter the palace.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Zhu Houzhao cast his eyes on Zhang Yong.

Because from Qiu Ju's words, Zhu Houzhao had already heard that after his accident, Qiu Ju and Gao Feng were locked up, and Zhang Yong was serving by his side.

Then Zhang Yong should know a thing or two that Qiu Ju doesn't know.

Zhang Yong, who was at the side, noticed the gaze cast by the emperor, panicked, fell to his knees with a thud, and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave's knowledge is also very limited."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Zhang Yong lightly and shouted in a deep voice: "Speak! Since your knowledge is limited, then you can talk about what you know."

Zhang Yong hurriedly explained how important cabinet ministers transferred to the Beijing camp to seal the palace gates in order to prevent accidents, and then transferred Di Cheng to replace the commander of the imperial city guards, and then asked the Queen Mother to strictly investigate the assassination of the emperor. Finally, Liu Jin was found.

Listening to Zhang Yong's words, Zhu Houzhao's expression fluctuated. When Zhang Yong mentioned Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "What, you said that the third division found Liu Daban and suspected that Liu Daban murdered me?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes clearly showed disbelief, he didn't believe that Liu Jin would harm him.

But judging from Zhang Yong's expression, it is obvious that the result of the investigation by the third division is like this. The third division should not fail to investigate such a big matter, let alone frame people casually.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Zhang who was sitting aside frowned and said: "My lord, it's not that I'm talking about you. Liu Jin colluded with a group of cronies in the court, harmed the court, and caused resentment among the people. He, Liu Jin, has ulterior motives, but this palace firmly believes in it."

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Zhang said again: "As for the investigation of Liu Jin's Yizhi, it is from this palace. No matter who wants to hurt the emperor, you can't do it. Even if there is only a trace of suspicion, there is still a mistake in the murder, so I didn't let it go."

Empress Dowager Zhang's words that she was wrong and never let go are naturally no problem in such a heinous case as murdering the emperor. No matter which dynasty it is in, the assassination of the emperor is the biggest case, let alone Suspicion, even if it is slightly related to the case, there is nowhere to appeal for injustice after being beheaded.

Glancing at Queen Mother Zhang, Zhu Houzhao smiled wryly, but he did not object to Queen Mother Zhang's words. Zhu Houzhao also knew that Queen Mother Zhang had always been very dissatisfied with Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju and others around him, and could even be said to be disgusted.

In the past, with his protection, the Empress Dowager looked at his face and was not as knowledgeable as Liu Jin and others. However, during his unconscious period, Liu Jin was also suspected of murdering the emperor. If the Empress Dowager Zhang did not give Liu Jin It would be weird to take it down.

Taking a deep breath, and glancing at Zhang Yong, Zhu Houzhao said, "Continue."

Zhang Yong hurriedly said: "As Liu Jin was taken down, most of the officials in the court who were dependent on Eunuch Liu were also taken down."

Zhang Yong said again: "By the way, in order to prevent Gu Dayong from causing trouble, the Empress Dowager also recruited Gu Dayong, who was in the imperial horse prison, into the palace, and locked him up with Gao Feng and others. "

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth. It was specially arranged by Gu Dayong to sit in the Imperial Horse Supervisor. The Imperial Horse Supervisor was in charge of the four guards of Tengxiang. Only the confidants of the emperor's confidantes are eligible to sit in the town.

It wasn't for the trust of the emperor, and it was impossible to take charge of the army for the emperor. As a result, the queen mother sent Gu Dayong back to the palace, which directly caused the royal family to lose control of the four guards of Tengxiang.

But Zhu Houzhao couldn't say anything, who made the queen mother Zhang his old mother? As a queen mother who was spoiled by such a good husband as Emperor Xiaozong, Gong Dou didn't exist for her at all, naturally He also didn't realize the importance of the Royal Horse Supervisor to the royal family.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's unsightly expression, Zhang Yong felt a little nervous, and Zhu Houzhao's voice came from his ear: "What else?"

Zhang Yong hurriedly said: "Go back to Your Majesty, it's gone, apart from these, the slaves don't know anything."

Whether it was Qiu Ju or Zhang Yong, they knew nothing about how Li Huan returned to the capital and how he entered the imperial city.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Empress Xia and then at Empress Dowager Zhang, but he didn't expect much.

As for Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao simply skipped it. Just now Li Huan didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask. He didn't believe that he couldn't ask what Li Huan had done.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Your Majesty, at this moment, the British Duke Zhang Mao, the chief assistant Li Dongyang, the old man Yang Ting and them are all in the outer hall. If you want to know something, you can call them to come and ask questions. They must be better than anyone else." clearly."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to Qiu Ju and said, "Qiu Daban, go and invite the British Duke Zhang Mao here immediately."

In the outer hall, British Duke Zhang Mao, Chief Assistant Li Dongyang, Ge Lao Yang Tinghe, Fei Hong, Mao Ji and others looked at the direction of the inner hall, their hearts fluttering.

It's about the safety of the emperor, so they can't help but not be nervous, especially since the queen mother has also entered the inner hall, and there is no movement at this moment, which makes them even more worried.

Several people kept looking at Zhang Mao, their intentions were self-evident.

As for Wang Yangming's words, they were naturally skeptical. Unless they really saw the emperor, otherwise it was impossible for them to fully believe Wang Yangming's one-sided words.

But Zhang Mao was standing there with the presence of the old god, squinting his eyes, giving the impression that he was asleep.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and everyone's spirits were shaken. Looking around, they saw Qiu Ju, who was brought into the inner hall earlier, came out with red eyes.

When they saw Qiu Ju's red eyes, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the emperor had an accident, otherwise, why would the servant next to the emperor cry like this.

Fei Hong took a step forward, looked at Qiu Ju eagerly and said, "Qiu Ju, Your Majesty, is he..."

Qiu Ju frowned when he heard the words, he couldn't understand the meaning of Fei Hong's words, and immediately snorted coldly: "Bold, Sir Fei, what do you mean, are you trying to curse His Majesty?"

Hearing this, Fei Hong broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and said, "No, I don't, so don't spout blood. I just care about His Majesty."

Qiu Ju sneered, he was afraid of these people before, but after the emperor woke up, he was no longer afraid of these people, he just glanced at Qiu Ju with disdain.

Seeing the change of Qiu Ju's expression in Yang Tinghe's eyes, Yang Tinghe sighed softly in his heart. It seems that Wang Yangming really hit the mark. His Majesty is definitely out of danger, and may even have woken up. Otherwise, the emperor was in a coma before. During the period, it was absolutely impossible for Qiu Ju, who was submissive in front of them, to react like this.

Sure enough, Qiu Ju walked up to the British Duke Zhang Mao, bowed to Zhang Mao and said, "Old Duke, Your Majesty is here to invite you."

When he came out of Qiuju and looked at Qiuju, Zhang Mao, the British princess, couldn't help but tremble when he heard the emperor's summoning from Qiuju's mouth, Zhang Mao's tense body relaxed, and his eyes streamed I couldn't hide my joy.

"Okay, okay, the old minister will go to see His Majesty now, and ask Supervisor Qiu to lead the way!"

Qiu Ju dared not dare.

Zhang Mao cupped his hands at Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and the others and said, "Everyone, I will go to see Your Majesty first, Your Majesty is fine, and we can finally rest assured."

Li Dongyang said with a somewhat relaxed smile on his face: "What the old Duke said is that His Majesty is safe and sound, the great fortune of the country, the great fortune of the country!"

All of a sudden, the originally dignified atmosphere in the outer hall suddenly became much more relaxed.

Li Dongyang seemed to be completely relaxed. These days, the emperor was unconscious. If he had to say, he was the chief assistant of the court who was under the greatest pressure.

No matter what happened to him, it made Li Dongyang feel powerless. The most important thing is that the Son of Heaven is only twenty years old, so young that he doesn't even have any heirs. For a dynasty, It is definitely a terrible thing for a country to have no prince.

If the emperor is there, that's all right, but if something happens to the emperor, he doesn't even have an heir, and this may be the result of the country's turmoil and the collapse of the society.

Li Dongyang couldn't believe it before. If the emperor really collapsed, what should he do as the chief assistant to ensure the normal operation and continuation of the Ming Dynasty.

Now this pressure disappeared as Zhu Houzhao woke up, otherwise, with Li Dongyang's current physical condition, he might not be able to bear it anytime soon.

Seeing the figure of Zhang Mao walking into the inner hall, Li Dongyang stroked his beard, and said to Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, Fei Hong and others: "Everyone, it is a blessing for the country that your Majesty can wake up. I will see you later, I will Wait and tell the officials to reassure people."

But he said that Zhang Mao followed Qiu Ju and walked towards the inner hall.

At this time, the smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the inner hall has dissipated a lot. After all, Li Huan had previously ordered people to open all the windows outside the inner hall. Come.

When Zhang Mao walked into the inner hall, he saw Zhu Houzhao sitting there at a glance. Although Zhu Houzhao was still leaning on the bed at the moment, Zhang Mao could see that Zhu Houzhao was at the moment with his eyesight. The spirit is quite good.

At least it is much better than the weak state of lying there before, like a gossamer. It can be said that there is a sky and an earth.

Even though he was sure in his heart that the emperor was safe, but before he saw the emperor, he still had some doubts in his heart, but now that he finally saw the emperor with his own eyes, Zhang Mao strode forward while breathing a sigh of relief, and bowed down to Zhu Houzhao : "It is a great blessing for the old minister to pay his respects to His Majesty, and His Majesty to wake up."

Seeing Zhang Mao bowing down to him, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said, "You don't need to be too polite, old Duke."

At the same time, Zhu Houzhao motioned to Qiu Ju and said, "Master Qiu, give the old Duke a seat."

Qiu Ju moved a stool, Zhang Mao sat in front of him, carefully studied Zhu Houzhao's complexion, saw that Zhu Houzhao's complexion was not bad, nodded slightly and said: "The old minister said that His Majesty is blessed by heaven, and now it seems that it is really so."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile when he heard the words: "God's blessing, what I really want to say this time is thanks to Li Huanqing's family. If there is no Li Qing's treatment, I am afraid that my life will really be lost."

Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Zhang Mao couldn't help but think of the Tai Hospital's judgment on Zhu Houzhao, and even said that Zhu Houzhao might not last for a few days. Those who knew the news at the time were shocked.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao now, Zhang Mao recalled the past, and felt a wave of fear in his heart. At the same time, he raised his head and looked at Li Huan who was beside him.

Zhang Mao got up, bowed to Li Huan very solemnly and said: "Li Huan, this old man can't represent all the people in the world, nor can he represent civil and military officials, so this old man can only represent the British government to thank Li Huan for rescuing His Majesty."

Li Huan quickly supported Zhang Mao and said: "Old Duke, please don't say that, it's just Li's duty as a courtier. Your Majesty is in trouble, so why don't Li sit on the sidelines?"

Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and said to Zhang Mao: "Mr. Yingying, since Li Qing refuses to thank him, you don't have to thank him."

Zhang Mao was a little stunned by what he said, and he was not stupid, so why couldn't he hear that the emperor's words seemed to be playing a prank on Li Huan.

Thinking this way in his heart, Zhang Mao subconsciously looked at Zhu Houzhao and then at Li Huan, feeling a little confused for a while.

On the other hand, Qiu Ju and Zhang Yong knew what was going on, but no one dared to tell Zhang Mao at this moment.

I only heard Zhu Houzhao say to Zhang Mao: "Old Duke, I invited you here but I have something to ask the old Duke."

Zhang Wei raised his brows, and his heart moved, thinking that Zhu Houzhao had prepared himself for asking him about the situation in the court and even the capital these days, but Zhu Houzhao said: "Old Duke, tell me, Li Huanqing's family is How did you get into the palace?"

Zhang Mao thumped, glanced at Li Huan subconsciously, and thought to himself: What's going on? Could it be that the Son of Heaven knew about Li Huan's murder in the palace and wanted to settle accounts with Li Huan?But this doesn't seem like the meaning of reckoning.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and even Zhang Mao gave Li Huan a sympathetic look. After all, after thinking about it, what Li Huan did was really a taboo.

Not to mention breaking a taboo, even if he was pulled out immediately and beheaded, it would not be an exaggeration to ransack his family and exterminate his family.

It was nothing more than leading troops to attack and kill the commander of the Wucheng soldiers and horses. On the long street, Jin Yiwei clashed with the Wucheng soldiers and horses, which can more or less explain the past.

But the people with Jin Yiwei stormed the palace gate, and even beheaded the Changning Bo Gao Changyong who was guarding the palace gate, and then entered the palace, so there is no way to tell.

Simply storming the palace gate is enough to convict Li Huan.

As for the killing of Gao Changsheng, Liu Zhong, and Liang Chu, no matter which one it was, it was a capital crime, and Li Huan committed so many crimes at once.

Zhu Houzhao and even Li Huan never imagined that just because of Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhang Mao, the old Duke, could make up so many things in his head.

Looking up at the emperor, Zhu Houzhao saw Zhang Mao's hesitant look and couldn't help but said angrily: "Why, doesn't the old man know? If so, then I will look for someone again. I don't believe that I can't find anyone." Tell me how Li Qing's family got into the palace."

Zhang Mao took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister knows, and the old minister will share with His Majesty."

He gave Li Huan a helpless look, as if to show Li Huan that he was also forced to do so.

Seeing Zhang Mao's expression, Li Huan couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then realized that he couldn't help but want to laugh. This old Duke may be thinking too much.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is also to blame for this incident. He rushed back from Fujian last night, and the travel-stained Mr. Li sneaked into my mansion just to learn about His Majesty's recent situation from the old minister. The old minister saw that Mr. Li is sincere and caring. His Majesty's safety, so he felt empathy for a moment and informed Li Daren of His Majesty's situation."

It can be seen that Zhang Mao said this because he wanted to say a few words for Li Huan on the side of the emperor, hoping that the emperor would read Li Huan's loyalty and pardon Li Huan's crimes.

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, and Zhang Mao said again: "What the old minister didn't expect was that Master Li was so anxious to see His Majesty. He brought a team of Jin Yiwei to try to enter the palace to meet His Majesty at dawn."

Zhu Houzhao raised his brows and glanced at Li Huan, as if he was trying to make up for what Zhang Mao had told him. Zhu Houzhao could even imagine Li Huan rushing all the way back from Fujian, the dusty appearance of Li Huan, and then he cared about comforting himself, Regardless of the danger, he sneaked into the British government just to find out about himself, and after learning about him, he immediately brought someone to try to enter the palace to meet him.

All of a sudden, Zhu Houzhao's expression changed slightly. He did not mishear what Zhang Mao said just now. It seems that Li Huan led the Jinyiwei people all the way to the imperial city.

Leading people to kill to the imperial city, Zhu Houzhao was stunned by this sentence.

Zhang Mao, who didn't notice the change in Zhu Houzhao's expression at all, sighed with a bit of emotion: "Lord Li is loyal to His Majesty, but it's a pity that with his status, he can't enter the palace through normal channels, so he can only make this bad plan. So the people from the Wucheng Bingma Division were alarmed, and on the long street, Fan Gang, the commander of the Wucheng Bingma Division, led people to block the way."

At this time, even Zhu Houzhao became a little curious. Since Li Huan was blocked by the commander of the Wucheng Army and Ma Si, he led people to block his way, so Li Huan entered the palace like this.

I only heard Zhang Mao continue: "Master Li wholeheartedly entered the palace, but Fan Gang refused to allow it. As a result, Master Li was in a hurry, so he could only lead the Jin Yiwei to disperse the obstruction of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and accidentally killed Fan Gang. .”

Li Huan was listening to Zhang Mao's whitewashing words. He didn't accidentally kill Fan Gang. It was clear that he deliberately chopped Fan Gang with a knife. The people in the palace will never be dispersed so easily. Once they are dragged back, if the civil servants are prepared and even more Beijing troops are mobilized to guard, he may not have a chance to rush into the imperial city.

Coughing lightly, Li Huan said: "Old Duke, Li was the one who killed Fan Gang on purpose, otherwise Li might not be able to enter the imperial city."

Zhang Mao couldn't help but paused, and looked at Zhu Houzhao in embarrassment.

Zhu Houzhao just said indifferently: "Don't pay attention to him, the old man will continue."

Zhang Mao nodded and said, "Lord Li broke through the barriers of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, so he came all the way to the gate of the palace. Naturally, he was stopped by Changning Marquis Gao Changsheng."

Zhu Houzhao subconsciously said: "Li Qing's family couldn't have entered the palace by directly killing Gao Changsheng, the Marquis of Changning!"

Zhang Mao didn't speak, and Qiu Ju who was beside him said, "If not, how could Brother Li enter the palace!"

At this moment, the Queen Mother Zhang snorted coldly and said: "My lord, Li Huan is so courageous. He not only killed Changning Bo Gao Changsheng, but also killed Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi Liu Zhong, Liang Chu, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, was beheaded by him."

Gulu, even Zhu Houzhao is the emperor, but after hearing the words of the Queen Mother Zhang, he couldn't help swallowing in shock, and subconsciously looked at Li Huan.

Li Huan's blood seems to be the proof.

Zhang Mao coughed lightly and said, "Fortunately, Your Majesty has a good fortune. Master Li finally rescued His Majesty by entering the imperial city. This is a great achievement."

Zhang Mao's attitude couldn't be more obvious, he was speaking for Li Huan.

Qiu Ju felt that Li Huan saved the emperor's life, which was equivalent to saving his life, so his own life was saved by Li Huan, so he should speak for Li Huan.

Therefore, Qiu Ju didn't care whether it was appropriate for him to speak, and said directly: "There is nothing higher than saving someone. If you count this time, Brother Li seems to have saved His Majesty several times."

Zhang Yong also smiled and said: "That's right, Master Li saved His Majesty once this time."

Empress Xia at the side also seemed to think that Zhu Houzhao wanted to punish Li Huan, so she hesitated and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it was Li Qing who saved His Majesty..."

Zhu Houzhao saw that everyone seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, as if he wanted to punish Li Huan, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "Where are you all thinking, I am not a fatuous person, Li Qing's family killed in the imperial city His actions are indeed treasonous, but his original intention was to save me, so the actions of Li Qing's family are not treasonous, but an act of protection."

According to Zhu Houzhao’s words of protection, it can be regarded as directly determining the character of Li Huan’s attack on the imperial palace. In this way, no matter who it is, no one can impeach Li Huan for the fact that Li Huan led the Jinyiwei to attack the imperial city. It's ulterior motives.

Zhang Mao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is wise!"

At this time, Zhu Houzhao had completely figured out the major events that happened after he fell into a coma, and his heart was filled with infinite emotion.

To be honest, Zhu Houzhao really didn't expect that Li Huan would fight so hard for himself, even at the risk of committing a crime and leading people to attack the imperial city, just to save him.

One must know that in that case, Li Huan didn't know his specific situation, but he was really fighting with his own wealth and life.

Fortunately, Li Huan made the right bet, otherwise, what would happen to Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao, as the emperor, could not have imagined.

While being moved in his heart, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help looking at Li Huan and said: "Li Qing, you have to fight for me but don't want to go to the palace to save me, just like what Qiu Daban said, there is no greater merit than saving me. In the past, I rewarded you. You always refuse to accept it, but this time I will not allow you to refuse to accept it again."

Li Huan bowed and said: "The minister is a small family, and thanks to His Majesty's favor, he has the high position he is today. How can I be so loved and rewarded by Your Majesty, and I feel terrified in my heart."

Zhang Mao stroked his beard and looked more satisfied with Li Huan's expression.

Looking at the capital and even the world, who among his peers can compare with Li Huan.

Considering that Li Huan is about the same age as the emperor and still so young, he has already won the favor of the emperor, and one can imagine the future of the emperor.

In comparison, my grandson could be regarded as intelligent, but compared with Li Huan, there is simply no comparison.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in Zhang Mao's mind, who else could it be if it wasn't his youngest daughter Zhang Jin.

Thinking of Zhang Jin, an idea came to Zhang Mao's mind, and he couldn't help showing some scrutiny and strangeness in his eyes when he looked at Li Huan.

How sharp Li Huan was, Zhang Mao looked at him suddenly with weird eyes, which naturally made Li Huan feel it, and looked at Zhang Mao suspiciously.

But I don't know that Zhang Mao has an idea in his mind. Looking at Li Huan now, it turns out that the more he looks at it, the more pleasing to the eye, quite a feeling that an old man looks at his son-in-law.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Zhang yawned, with a look of exhaustion on her face, she could tell that these days had passed, and Empress Dowager Zhang was also suffering a lot.

Zhu Hou took a look at Li Huan, his eyes fell on Queen Mother Zhang, and said with concern: "Mother, since I'm all right now, Mother should go to rest first."

After hearing the words, Queen Mother Zhang looked at Zhu Houzhao, and after confirming that Zhu Houzhao was fine, she pondered for a while, then nodded slightly and said: "That's fine, the emperor said so, I am really a little tired."

Slowly got up, and when she was about to leave, Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly said: "By the way, Emperor, these days, the first assistant Li Dongyang, the old man Yang Tinghe, Fei Hong, and Mao Ji are tired enough. Are you unconscious? Thanks to having them in charge in the court, there is no trouble, so remember to summon them later, and reward them well."

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Empress Mother, as long as she is really dedicated to acting as an agent of the government and serving the country and the people, then I will definitely reward you."

Watching the Empress Dowager leave, Zhu Houzhao said to Empress Xia: "Empress, I see that you are also tired, so go and rest first."

Even if she didn't wink, Empress Xia could tell that Zhu Houzhao must have something to discuss with Li Huan, Zhang Mao and others at this moment, and it's naturally not good for her as a queen to listen here.

Daming had a rule that people in the harem were not allowed to interfere in politics, and besides, Empress Xia didn't want to stay, so she immediately got up and saluted Zhu Houzhao, and then left the Jinglan Hall.

outer hall
The queen mother and the queen came out almost at the same time. When they saw the queen mother and the queen, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, and Fei Hong hurried forward to salute.

The emperor woke up, and the queen mother was in a good mood, with a smile on her face, she looked at Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and the others and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has woken up, I think I will summon you later, my palace has already communicated with the emperor. Having said that, you have made great achievements for your hard work, and I think His Majesty will reward you as appropriate."

Li Dongyang and the others hurriedly saluted the Queen Mother after hearing the words: "I am afraid, thank you Queen Mother."

It was not until the Empress Dowager left with the Empress that Fei Hong glanced at the inner hall, his eyes fell on Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe and said in a low voice: "Shoufu, Mr. Yang Ge, let's take advantage of His Majesty's unconsciousness to wipe out Liu Jin's party. Now that His Majesty wakes up, with His Majesty's temperament, I'm afraid that many disturbances will arise out of thin air, maybe..."

Li Dongyang looked straight, glanced at Fei Hong and said, "Liu Jin is suspected of murdering His Majesty. I will judge it in a fair manner. No matter how much His Majesty favors Liu Jin, can Liu Jin be pardoned for murdering the Emperor?"

Mao Ji was in a trance, and said in a low voice: "But we took the opportunity to take Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, Cao Yuan and others, and sent people to the Beijing camp to guard the palace gate and replace the commander of the imperial city guards. It’s all against His Majesty’s taboo.”

Li Dongyang narrowed his eyes, took a long breath and said: "I am ashamed of what I have done, Liu Jin should be killed, the imperial city is guarded, and the guards must be replaced. Even after seeing His Majesty, this old man said the same."

A cold light flashed in Fei Hong's eyes and said: "Master Ge, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if Liu Jin is convicted of murdering His Majesty, that would be fine, but once Liu Jin is allowed to escape, with Liu Jin's temperament, I am afraid that you will die." In time, I will take revenge for Liu Jin."

Li Dongyang heard the meaning of Fei Hong's words, couldn't help but frowned, glanced at Fei Hong and said, "What is Master Fei's intention?"

Fei Hong secretly glanced towards the direction of the inner hall, did not speak, but stroked his neck silently, the meaning was self-evident.

Wang Yangming sat on the side in the corner, as if he had been forgotten by others, just watched Fei Hong act like no one else was there, and planned to act preemptively and silence Liu Jin.

But Wang Yangming is such a big living person, how could several people not notice it, it is obvious that Fei Hong let him hear it on purpose.

With a light cough, Wang Yangming got up and cupped his hands towards Fei Hong and Li Dongyang, and said, "My lords, let Wang go and make things easier."

Fei Hong smiled slightly, and with a smile on his face, he looked at Wang Yangming kindly and said, "Wang Yushi, speaking of it, our father and father are also ministers in the same palace, and your father was killed by that eunuch Liu Jin, so he was demoted." Going to Nanjing, if Liu Jin is really turned around this time and saved his life, I'm afraid those of us who offended Liu Jin will be crazily retaliated by Liu Jin one by one."

As he spoke, Fei Hong looked at Wang Yangming like that, and said quietly, "Wang Yushi, you don't want anything to happen to your father either!"

Wang Yangming glanced at Fei Hong and said calmly: "Although Wang doesn't have a good impression of Liu Jin, he doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing."

Said Wang Yangming turned around and left the side hall.

Fei Hong watched Wang Yangming leave without hesitation, but his expression changed. He just stared at Wang Yangming's back and disappeared. After a while, he couldn't help but whisper angrily: "Wang Yangming, I really don't know how to flatter him. Will there be a good end for Huan if they walk together? Wang Hua's reputation throughout his life will sooner or later be ruined by him, a confused son who doesn't know right from wrong, and doesn't know loyalty and treachery."

As he spoke, Fei Hong cupped his hands at Li Dongyang and said, "Master Shoufu, since you refuse to agree, then Fei has the guts to be a disaster for all people in the world, except for Liu Jin!"

With that said, Fei Hong turned around and walked out of Jinglan Hall.

Seeing this, Li Dongyang couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said to Fei Hong: "Confused, Fei Hong, you are confused!"

Mao Ji said: "Lord Shoufu, Lord Fei's action is a righteous act, and he should be an example for all officials. How can he be said to be confused?"

Yang Tinghe sighed softly and said: "Liu Jin is guilty, even if he deserves to die, he still has to go through the trial of the court's three judges, and His Majesty's ruling, so that Liu Jin's life can be taken. ..."

Mao Ji said indifferently: "Old Yang Ge meant that Lord Fei's actions are a bit disgraceful, right? But to get rid of that traitor Liu Jin, even if the means are not upright, it can't change the essence of Lord Fei's killing harm for the people. Since It is to eliminate harm for the people, so there is no distinction between good and evil regardless of the means.”

Li Dongyang glanced at Mao Ji, then looked at the inner hall, took a deep breath and said, "No, Fei Hong must not be allowed to act so recklessly, he will surely anger His Majesty if he kills Liu Jin. It's not worth it."

"Come on, come on..."

Soon a small official walked over from the side hall. After all, Li Dongyang and the others almost moved the cabinet to the Jinglan Hall these days, so there are still many officials in the Jinglan Hall who assist them in handling government affairs staff.

Li Dongyang directed at the official: "You quickly catch up with Lord Fei Hong and tell him that you must never know the law and break the law and risk your life in vain!"

The little official obviously didn't understand what was going on, but he kept Li Dongyang's words firmly in mind and said, "Don't worry, Chief Assistant, the next official will definitely tell Mr. Fei exactly what the old man said."

In the inner hall, after the empress dowager and empress had left, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were fixed, and the emperor's power was fully displayed. He glanced at Zhang Yong lightly and said, "Zhang Yong, immediately go and bring Gu Daban, Gao Daban, Ma Daban and the others. see me."

Before Zhu Houzhao woke up, Gao Feng, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, and Liu Jin were still a little confused, but after listening to the stories of Qiu Ju, Zhang Yong, and Zhang Mao, Zhu Houzhao already knew about Ma Yongcheng, Gu Dayong, and the others. encounter.

Since Gu Dayong and the others were imprisoned in the side hall, now that he woke up, he naturally wanted to release them immediately.

Hearing the words, Zhang Yong hurriedly said: "Your maidservant will go now."

in the side hall
Ever since Qiuju was taken away by Zhang Yong, Ma Yongcheng, Gao Feng, and Gu Dayong were all in a state of turmoil.

Although Zhang Yong told them many things and even knew that Li Huan had entered the palace, they became more worried.

If Li Huan can save the emperor, everything will be fine, if not, I am afraid they will be happy for nothing.

Gao Feng sat there with a calm expression on his face and said: "I don't know what's going on now, whether Brother Li Huan can wake up His Majesty."

Gu Dayong said indifferently: "What are you thinking so much? With Brother Li Huan here, I don't believe that Brother Li Huan will come to die by himself. Since he dares to come, he must be somewhat sure."

Ma Yongcheng was silent, just looking at his clenched fists, he knew that he was not so calm.

When Zhang Yong appeared in front of them again, several people got up together, looking at Zhang Yong with expectant eyes.

Gu Dayong said in a trembling voice: "Zhang Yong, Your Majesty... Your Majesty is fine."

Zhang Yong came here at this time, there must be a result from the emperor, either the emperor has no hope of waking up, or the emperor has woken up.

Zhang Yong glanced at the few people indifferently, a trace of envy and jealousy flashed in the depths of his eyes, and slowly said: "Your Majesty summons."

"what!"

With an exclamation, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, and Gao Feng couldn't help showing bright smiles on their faces, and their eyes were full of excitement and joy.

At the same time, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and tears welled up and rolled down directly.

"His Majesty!"

When several people followed Zhang Yong into the inner hall and saw Zhu Houzhao sitting there for the first time, they couldn't bear it any longer and lay down in front of the bed and burst into tears.

It was not only the joy of escaping from death, but also the excitement that Zhu Houzhao could wake up, so that he lost his composure for a while, crying a lot of tears and snot.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Gu Dayong's mentally exhausted appearance, and he could think of the torment they had suffered these days, and seeing how happy they were for waking up from the bottom of their hearts, Zhu Houzhao said to them full of relief: "Okay, get up, I know that you have been worried these few days, and you have suffered a lot, but now that I wake up, you don't have to worry about anything else, I am here for everything."

When Gu Dayong, Gao Feng, and Ma Yongcheng heard the words, they kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty is well. The slaves and servants are considered to have the backbone. Let's see who dares to bully us."

You can hear the resentment in Gu Dayong's words, and if you look carefully, you can see that there are even scars on their faces.

Needless to say, the scars were because the officials of the third department used some tricks on them when they asked them to question them.

Gu Dayong and the others should be glad that they are in the palace and locked in a side hall.

If it is said that they were imprisoned in the sky prison like Liu Jin, I am afraid that there are not many scars on their bodies at this moment. I am afraid that they have already enjoyed several rounds of the sky prison like Liu Jin. The big punishment is waiting.

Even so, the few people are taken by some officials from time to time these days to torture them in the name of questioning, and it is clear that they want to vent their anger against them.

Without the support of the emperor and no deterrence, the poor people can only let those officials humiliate them.

Glancing at Gu Dayong, Zhu Houzhao murmured slightly: "Gu Daban, you leave the palace immediately, sit in the imperial horse prison for me, and firmly control the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp, but if you have my will, you Be sure to send troops to me as soon as possible, is it possible?"

Gu Dayong's eyes lit up when he heard the words, his face was full of excitement and he said: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured, unless the old slave is dead, otherwise, I will definitely take care of the Imperial Horse Supervisor for Your Majesty, and be at your disposal at any time. "

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, and Gu Dayong stood up. Although he was depressed, his face was full of excitement. He bowed to Zhu Houzhao and strode away.

When Gu Dayong left, Zhu Houzhao said to Ma Yongcheng again: "Ma Daban, you go back to Dongchang immediately, do your best for me, and strictly investigate the movements of all the officials in the court during these days when I was in a coma."

Ma Yongcheng was also gearing up to get up, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "I've made a note of this, and I'm going back to the East Factory. Even if those officials eat a few meals a day and talk in their dreams at night, this old slave will Check it out for His Majesty."

Gao Feng, Luo Xiang, and Wei Bin looked at Zhu Houzhao eagerly.

Gu Dayong and Ma Yongcheng have assignments, and they naturally hope that Zhu Houzhao can arrange some tasks for them.

After glancing at a few people, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "You guys should serve by my side. After all, apart from you, I really can't trust anyone else."

I have to say that Zhu Houzhao was really frightened when he was assassinated this time. He never thought that once he fell asleep, he almost couldn't wake up again.

Although it was said that nothing had been arranged, but what Zhu Houzhao meant was obviously a kind of trust in them, which naturally made them very excited.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on Zhang Mao, and he said with a smile: "Old Duke, the current situation in the court is unclear. I hope that the old Duke can lead people to sit in the capital camp and be ready for possible changes at any time. I don't know if the old Duke is willing to help. Do I?"

Zhang Mao said with a smile: "The old minister is loved by His Majesty, and he dare not obey his orders."

Seeing Zhang Mao's statement, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief. The soldiers and horses of the Beijing Camp are now under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, which means that the Ministry of War has the right to deploy troops. If someone really wants to do something wrong, the Beijing Camp is definitely the top priority , if there is no one of high moral standing in charge, Zhu Houzhao is really worried that there will be changes in the Beijing camp.

And Zhang Mao has been in charge of the Beijing camp for decades. Although he dare not say that he can control the Beijing camp, he definitely has a great influence on the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp.

Relying on Zhang Mao's identity, it is completely possible to prevent changes in the Beijing camp, and even if they happen, they will not expand.

At this moment Zhang Mao suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others are still waiting outside the hall. From the perspective of veteran officials, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe are still trustworthy. Don't you see them?"

Zhu Houzhao pondered for a while when he heard the words: "In this case, please invite Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and them to meet!"

Glancing at Gao Feng, Zhu Houzhao said, "Gao Feng, go and call them here."

Gao Feng hurriedly said: "Your maidservant will go now."

In the outer hall, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe looked quite calm, which meant that Mao Ji was a little anxious.

When Gao Feng saw Li Dongyang and the others, he said with a smile on his face: "Master Shoufu, Mr. Yang Ge, Mr. Mao, Your Majesty invites you."

The eyes of Li Dongyang and the others lit up, and they cupped their hands at Gao Feng.

Walking into the inner hall, Li Dongyang couldn't help but pause when he saw Zhu Houzhao sitting there, a trace of peace of mind and relief flashed in his eyes, and he bowed respectfully to Zhu Houzhao, "I, Li Dongyang, greet Your Majesty."

"Chen, Yang Tinghe, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Chen, Mao Ji, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the few people who fell in front of him, his eyes patrolled him, while Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang seemed very calm under Zhu Houzhao's gaze, and their expressions remained unchanged.

Mao Ji, on the other hand, seemed a little nervous, with cold sweat breaking out faintly on his forehead.

All of a sudden, Zhu Houzhao said, "Excuse me, let's get down!"

Li Dongyang looked at Zhu Houzhao and said earnestly: "I implore your majesty, after this experience, to be able to be close to a good minister and far away from a villain. If it wasn't for Liu Jin and other treacherous villains, why would your majesty do this!"

As soon as these words came out, several people immediately looked at Zhu Houzhao, and Li Huan also looked at Li Dongyang with admiration.

This one really dares to say it, isn't he afraid that his words will anger the emperor who just woke up?

It should be said that Li Dongyang was stimulated by this accident. With his good-natured character, he would not say such things to the emperor at this time under normal circumstances.

Fortunately, Li Dongyang was sandwiched between Liu Jin and the civil and military officials as a moderator, otherwise, the court would have been in chaos long ago.

Li Huan guessed that someone in the court must be involved in the assassination of the emperor, and it might even be the other party's plan, but this person cannot be Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang's character is not strong enough, he is a good old man, maybe he can't understand some of the emperor's actions, but he will only persuade him, as for saying that it is not good for the emperor, the other party is really not such a person.

So even if Li Huan could see that something was wrong with Chen from the Imperial Hospital, there must be someone behind Chen, but he never doubted Li Dongyang.

Zhu Houzhao's complexion changed, Li Dongyang's words were not polite at all, he almost didn't say that it was because he got close to a bunch of villains that the assassin approached him.

If it were someone else, Zhu Houzhao would order someone to kill him immediately.

But this person is Li Dongyang, the chief assistant of the court, the example of all officials, even he, the emperor, cannot be easily moved.

The most important thing is that Zhu Houzhao can feel the concern in Li Dongyang's eyes, which is the reason why Zhu Houzhao suppressed his anger.

Li Dongyang is concerned about his safety, which at least proves that Li Dongyang is still loyal to him, the emperor, so Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Ge, can you explain to me why Liu Jin was sent to the university?" in prison."

Li Dongyang and the others didn't find it strange that the emperor knew this. It would be strange if the emperor really didn't know anything.

Mao Ji sighed in his heart. Sure enough, as Fei Hong said, the emperor would definitely ask about Liu Jin when he woke up. One bad thing would make Liu Jin turn around. Fortunately, Fei Hong took the first step to deal with Liu Jin, otherwise it would be up to the emperor. Attitude, Liu Liujin really has hope of turning around.

Li Dongyang frowned and said: "Return to Your Majesty, Liu Jin is suspected of murdering His Majesty, has been tried by the third department, and is being held in the prison, waiting for His Majesty's holy order to rectify the discipline."

Zhu Hou looked at Li Dongyang and said, "I don't believe that Liu Jin will harm me, so bring Liu Jin to me."

Li Dongyang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty can't, Liu Jin has ulterior motives, which is not good for the king, and I dare not obey the imperial edict."

"I dare not obey the imperial edict!"

"you……"

Seeing Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, and Mao Ji kneeling in front of him, he couldn't help being angry, but at this moment Li Huan coughed lightly and said: "Your Majesty calm down, the words of the Chief Assistant are not unreasonable, after all, Liu Jin has Suspicion, even if His Majesty trusts Liu Jin, Liu Jin should be tried before he can be considered for release, at least Liu Jin must be treated with innocence, right?"

Hearing what Li Huan said, Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said: "Since Li Qing said so, then it is according to Li Qing."

Zhu Houzhao said to Li Dongyang and the others: "You have also heard that since you insist that Liu Jin is suspected of murdering me, then I will hand Liu Jin over to Jin Yiwei for trial. Do you have any opinions?"

Li Dongyang looked at Li Huan and nodded slightly.

At this time, Mao Ji suddenly opened his mouth, and wept to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty handed Liu Jin over to Jin Yiwei, and the ministers have no objection, but Master Li led people to besiege the imperial city and killed Fan Gang, the commander of the army and horses in the five cities, and Gao Changsheng, the uncle of Changning." , Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi Liu Zhong, Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar Liang Chu and other ministers, their crimes should be punished, and please Your Majesty..."

"enough!"

Before Mao Ji could finish his sentence, Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "I can tell you now that everything Li Qing said was done in accordance with my secret edict. I can wake up because of Li Qing. Li Qing has contributed to the rescue. Not only did I not He will be punished, and he will be rewarded heavily.”

Mao Ji opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

What is acting in accordance with the secret edict? Could it be that the emperor could have predicted in advance that he would not be assassinated, so saying this is simply to fool them, and in the end it is to exonerate Li Huan.

Although Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe said that they had long expected that the emperor would save Li Huan, after all, as long as Li Huan could save the emperor, then everything Li Huan had done before was not at fault. Even in the eyes of the emperor, it was Li Huan. An expression of his sincerity and loyalty.

Obviously Li Huan won the bet.

Just now when they saw Li Huan standing beside the emperor, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe knew that it was unrealistic to use the fact that Li Huan killed Liu Zhong, Liang Chu, Gao Changsheng, Fan Gang and others to punish Li Huan.

So the two didn't mention it at all.

Only Mao Ji, because he and Liang Chu were relatives of his sons and daughters, saw Liang Chu being killed by Li Huan, hated Li Huan so much in his heart, and wanted to impeach Li Huan for Li Huan's murder.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Mao Ji coldly, and said slowly: "I heard that Liang Chu tried to prevent Li Qing from saving me. I want to ask Mr. Mao what Liang Chu's intentions are, and what his thoughts are."

Mao Ji's face changed drastically, and he looked at the enraged emperor with horror, and subconsciously said: "No...it's not like that, Your Majesty, Mr. Liang is loyal to His Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao walked down directly from the bed, stared at Mao Ji condescendingly and said, "I heard that you and Liang Chu are in-laws, Mr. Mao. Now you are speaking for Liang Chu, a rebel who has ulterior motives and intends to murder me. Are you Is Liang Chu's accomplice not successful?"

With a puff, Mao Ji desperately kowtowed to the emperor, sweating all over his body, and pleaded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive me, Your Majesty, I have no intention of murdering Your Majesty, and I am not a member of Liang Chu's party."

Li Huan on the side couldn't help showing surprise when he saw Zhu Houzhao's actions. Liang Chu is dead, and if this hat is buckled, it is not treason, it is treason.

However, no matter whether it was Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe or even Zhang Mao, they were all watching coldly at the moment, and they didn't have the slightest intention to defend Mao Ji, Liang Chu and others.

The emperor was assassinated and almost died. It can be said that this is the most sensitive time, when everyone looks like a conspiracy.

To touch the emperor's bad luck at this time, isn't that courting death?
Mao Ji was so frightened that the souls of the dead trembled, he kowtowed repeatedly, and wept uncontrollably. At this moment, he didn't have the mind to impeach Li Huan, he just wanted to save his life.

Conspiracy, to be labeled as such is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the family. It is true that he and Liang Chu are sons and daughters, but it is not worth the lives of the whole family to avenge him.

Glancing at Mao Ji coldly, Zhu Hou took care of Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the two of them and said, "Li Qing has made great contributions to saving the driver, and he was specially promoted to be the commander of the Jinyiwei, in charge of the Jinyiwei, and he was also granted the title of Zuodudu, the governor of the five armies, and the crown prince. .”

After the words fell, even though they were mentally prepared, Zhang Mao, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the others still showed expressions of disbelief.

It's really that the emperor's reward is too beautiful, and it's fine to be in charge of Jinyiwei, but the Zuodudu of the five armies' governor's mansion is a high-ranking official.

The five-army governor's mansion is divided into front, middle, rear, left, and right armies. Each of the five armies has a left-right governor, who is in charge of the affairs of the army.

Although the authority of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion has been transferred to the Ministry of War, the righteousness of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion is still in charge. As long as there is the emperor's will, the Five Armies Commander's Mansion Zuo Dudu is the real power figure who can command the army at any time.

As for the crown prince and Taifu, he is one of the three princes, and it can be said to be the highest honor pursued by civil and military officials.

Without waiting for Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others to react, Zhu Houzhao said to Li Huan who was a little dazed: "Li Qing, I will be handed over to Jin Yiwei to investigate and handle the matter of my assassination. Li Qing, you will personally supervise and investigate. Whoever is involved, after investigation to the end, I will be ruthlessly killed, even the emperor dares to murder, is it true that my blade is not good?"

He pointed to Mao Ji who was lying on the ground and said, "Li Qing, this person will be handed over to your Jin Yiwei for interrogation."

Mao Ji was shocked when he heard the words, it would be good if it fell into Li Huan's hands, and immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, I report, I report, someone murdered Your Majesty..."

Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Zhang Mao and others all changed their expressions when they heard the words, and looked at Mao Ji who was shouting in amazement.

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, his eyes gradually became gloomy looking at Mao Ji, and at the same time he looked at Li Huan.
