Chapter 182 Li Huan, you are crazy, even dare to catch us! 【order】
It is true that Li Huan's appearance and temperament are very different from ordinary people, especially the glorious demeanor that flows out of his body inadvertently. Su feels that he also saw it in his late grandfather Zhang Mao. Pass.
As for his own husband, even if he inherited the title of Duke of England, he doesn't have any real power in his hands. Compared with Li Huan, a prominent official who has great power and can kill with his heart, he is obviously weaker.
So at this moment, when Su looks at Li Huan, his eyes are full of splendor, and he feels that his grandfather is really astute. If he can really recruit Li Huan as the son-in-law of the British government, he will definitely It will be of great benefit to them and the British government.
Don't look at their British government, which seems to be full of flowers and cooking oil, but the Su family has maintained a clear enough mind and is not fascinated by the current appearance.
The death of the British Duke Zhang Mao can be said to have pushed the momentum of their British government to the peak. Whether it was the emperor who proclaimed Zhang Mao the King of Ningyang, was buried with the treatment of a prince, or the many civil and military ministers who came to mourn today, it seems obvious. With the great power of their British government.
It's just that all of this is obviously Zhang Mao's last shadow. There is a saying that people take tea to cool down. After Zhang Mao died, he expected Zhang Lun to support the British government. To be honest, Su Shi really didn't have much confidence in his husband. .
Originally, when Su Shi heard Zhang Lun's unintentional mention of Zhang Mao's intention to match Li Huan and Zhang Jin, he had already kept it in his heart.
It's just that the Su family has never met Li Huan in the inner house, and even what he knows about Li Huan is mostly heard from the subordinates.
Thanks to the blessing of Beijing officials, one can imagine what kind of reputation Li Huan will have in Beijing.
It is a good thing to say that Li Huan is narrow-minded, murderous, and revenge is not overnight. Many people even directly compare Li Huan to a big devil who eats people's hearts raw and roasts human flesh with charcoal.
The Su family is not like most people, but after hearing so many rumors about Li Huan, it is natural for him to secretly guess what kind of person Li Huan is.
Now after seeing Li Huan for real, even though he only glanced at him from a distance, Su's impression of Li Huan has changed drastically. What kind of fierce god is this one foot tall and as strong as an ox? He is completely a handsome boy , and my little aunt who is as cold as a fairy is really a good match.
The Su family made up their minds, even if it was for their own future, they had to urge their family lord, for an outstanding figure like Li Huan, he had to make an early move, maybe someone would already be eyeing Li right now. Huan.Otherwise, if they miss it, it will be a huge loss for their British government.
These thoughts flashed through my mind, and my eyes swept over Zhang Jin who was kneeling and weeping in a low voice, sighed lightly, frowned, moved slightly, knelt beside Zhang Jin, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Jin, what are you waiting for?" Look at that man!"
Zhang Jin was immersed in grief, and didn't pay attention to external affairs.
In this British government, there are only a few people who really love her, and Zhang Mao is the one who loves her the most. Now that Zhang Mao has passed away, Zhang Jin is heartbroken. It is also difficult to suppress the grief in the heart when a loved one dies.
At this moment, Su Shi's voice came to his ears, Zhang Jin slowly raised his head, and suddenly a cold and refined face appeared in front of Su Shi, with crystal teardrops hanging on that delicate face, it was really pear blossom Bringing rain, I feel pity when I see it, even a woman from the Su family can't help being amazed when she sees it.
Seeing the puzzled look in Zhang Jin's eyes, Su said in a low voice, "Aunt Jin, what do you think of that person?"
Zhang Jin didn't know what Su Shi meant, and subconsciously looked in the direction Su Shi was pointing after hearing the words.
His cold eyes swept over Li Huan who was burning incense to mourn Zhang Mao in the mourning hall. His eyes were indifferent. He only felt that the other party gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
A trace of doubt flashed in my heart, and finally looked at Su Shi, shook his head slowly and said, "Who is this person? Is there anything wrong?"
Not long ago, Li Huan and Zhang Jin met once, but it was in the middle of the night, and Li Huan hurried all the way back from Fujian, thousands of miles away, looking disheveled and embarrassed.
Therefore, comparing Li Huan's appearance before with his current appearance, he is completely like two people. Let alone Zhang Jin and Li Huan only met once, even if he really remembers Li Huan's appearance at that time, it may be difficult. Match the current Li Huan.
So Zhang Jin didn't know what Li Huan's identity was at all, but she could also see that Li Huan was qualified to enter the mourning hall to mourn her father, and even her nephew who inherited the title respectfully accompanied her, so It can be guessed that the other party is definitely not an ordinary person, I am afraid that he has an extraordinary background.
Su Shi just smiled when she heard the words, and didn't say much, after all, she just wanted Zhang Jin to take a look at Li Huan.
In this way, Zhang Jin has a little impression of Li Huan. If there is a real hope of getting married in the future, it is not considered a blind marriage, is it?
In the mourning hall here, Li Huan solemnly offered joss sticks to Zhang Mao's spiritual throne, paying homage seriously.
Suddenly, he felt a gaze sweeping over him, and with Li Huan's keen five senses, he looked up almost instinctively.
Following that gaze, I happened to see many female family members kneeling and crying in the inner room, and the gaze that swept over him was instantly withdrawn. Even if he reacted very quickly, he only had time to see a pair of clear The spirit is clear, the red and swollen eyes are faintly visible, and then it is just a slim figure in filial piety clothes.
It was the female family member in the inner room, and Li Huan just glanced at it by offering incense. If he didn't feel that someone was looking at him, Li Huan would not have looked at the female family member in the inner room under such circumstances. If people find out, they are afraid that they will be scolded behind their backs for not being polite.
On the long street in front of the British government, there are carriages like a forest, and the officials who come to pay homage to the British government come and go, coming in and out, this scene alone is amazing.
On the long street, an extremely luxurious carriage is driving slowly. A small flag is planted on the carriage, with characters embroidered on it.
If anyone who knows this small embroidered flag sees it, they will definitely be amazed by it. This astonishingly luxurious carriage is exactly the car of Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning.
At this time, in this carriage, two brothers, Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, and Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang, were sitting in it.
The two brothers each held a delicate woman in their arms. Their big hands disappeared under the woman's clothes, and there was a weak voice in the carriage.
Fortunately, this carriage is big enough, otherwise, it really wouldn't be able to accommodate four people.
At this moment, Zhang Yanling said to Zhang Heling with a bit of schadenfreude on his face: "Brother, this old man Zhang Mao is dead, and their British government is counting on a mere Zhang Lun to see how arrogant they are."
Zhang Heling smiled slightly and said: "That's natural. On weekdays, that old fellow Zhang Mao dared to look down on our brothers just because he was a veteran of several dynasties, and his qualifications were old enough. If it weren't for the generations of emperors and our The brother-in-law dotes on their British government too much, I really think that an old guy like him can be prosperous so far."
Zhang Yanling and Zhang Yanling nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, my group has no power at all by those civil servants, and everyone has become empty-handed, and dare to look down on our brothers. This time, this old guy is dead, otherwise If so, just because he didn't take good care of the Beijing camp for our nephew, so that Changxinghou's bastard led the army to rebel is enough for Zhang Mao to drink a pot."
Zhang Heling snorted coldly and said: "Our eldest nephew is really too magnanimous and kind. For an old guy like Zhang Mao who neglected his duties and almost killed him, why should he be so considerate? If you want me to say, Even if they don't get rid of the titles of the British government, they have to be taught a lesson."
Speaking of this, Zhang Heling said with a bit of resentment: "The old man is still named King Ningyang, and he can be buried in a grand manner as a prince. His British government is really very beautiful at the moment."
Zhang Yanling said: "If my sister hadn't sent someone to inform us this time, asking us to go to mourn the old guy, I wouldn't go because of his arrogance that he usually looks down on our brother."
Zhang Heling took a look at Zhang Yanling and said, "Okay, since my sister told us to go, then let's go, we're going to give them face for the British government, if Zhang Lun doesn't come to welcome us in person, we really won't go in gone."
People like Zhang Mao and Zhu Fu belonged to nobles, while Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling obviously belonged to relatives. In the Ming Dynasty, relatives had almost no sense of existence, and even less real power. It can be said that they are almost the same as nobles.
Ordinarily, when encountering two groups of people in the same situation like this, they should choose to hug each other for warmth, but Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling are such a strange pair of brothers.
The things he has done, one after another, are simply challenging the bottom line of the dynasty's laws, and his poor conduct, among so many foreign relatives in the Ming Dynasty, can be regarded as the only one.
It is conceivable that such a pair of brothers and relatives, with Zhang Mao's arrogant temperament, would be strange if they could look up to Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling.
In the beginning, brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling listened to the Queen Mother's orders, hoping to get closer to the Xungui Group.
At the beginning, the Xungui Group didn't know what kind of temperament these two brothers were. Seeing the face of Zhang, who was the queen at the time, the Xungui Group did not reject them, and the relationship between the two parties was more or less harmonious.
However, who would have thought that this pair of brothers would be able to do the absurd thing of raping a court lady openly in the palace in broad daylight.
It can be said that since then, the Xungui Group headed by Zhang Mao has completely seen what the pair of brothers are. A pair of wonderful brothers didn't even know they were cheated to death.
That is to say, since that time, the two sides have become dirty. When they meet each other on weekdays, they also hate each other. one bad.
Just like what Zhang Yanling said, if the Empress Dowager Zhang hadn't personally ordered them to mourn Zhang Mao this time, their brothers really wouldn't have gone to the British government to join in the fun.
Zhang Mao died, and if they didn't clap their hands and applaud, it would already be showing face to the British government, and even wanting them to pay condolences, don't even think about it.
At this time, Zhang Heling said to the outside of the carriage: "Feng Da, how far is it from the British government? Why don't you drive the carriage faster?"
At this moment, Zhang Heling only wanted to follow the Queen Mother Zhang's instructions, go to the British government to express condolences, and then go back to the residence.
Isn't it better to tease the crickets in the mansion, or play some interesting games with the beauties?
Outside the carriage, Feng Da, who was driving the carriage, said: "Master, it's not that you don't want to hurry up the carriage. There are people coming and going on this road, and there are too many carriages, especially as the distance from the British government is getting closer and closer. The closer you are, the more carriages will come and go, and you won't be able to get up at all."
Hearing what Feng Da said, Zhang Heling couldn't help lifting the curtain of the car and looking outside.
Zhang Heling couldn't help opening his eyes wide after seeing it, and saw that the streets on both sides were covered with white flags, and carriages that looked like wealthy families were passing by, and a depressive and sad atmosphere rushed over.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Heling's face was full of astonishment, and Zhang Yanling noticed her brother's expression and couldn't help asking in surprise: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Zhang Heling took a deep breath and said, "Come and take a look, this British government really has a lot of handwriting, they hang a whole street with white flags."
Hearing what Zhang Heling said, Zhang Yanling also came over and looked outside. When looking at the situation outside, he also showed a look of astonishment.
Immediately Zhang Yanling said angrily: "When our father died, our family held funerals, and it wasn't such a big show. Their British government really had a big show."
While speaking, the carriage had already approached the British government, and at this moment several servants of the British government stopped on the long street in front.
With a creak, the carriage stopped. Zhang Heling saw that there was still some distance from the British government, but Feng Da stopped unexpectedly.
Zhang Heling couldn't help cursing angrily: "Feng Da, what are you doing to eat? Why did you stop here? Could it be that you want Master Hou and me to walk there?"
At this moment, among the servants of the British government who were blocking the carriage, a steward hurriedly accompanied him and said: "My lord, it's not that we specifically want to block your carriage, it's really that my country's father-in-law wanted to avoid causing a long street. Congestion, I specially ask all the nobles to park the carriages near here, otherwise, everyone will rush to the gate of the mansion, and I am afraid that the gate of the British government will be blocked."
Many carriages and sedan chairs in the surrounding area stopped nearby, and even those far away stopped. Instead, they got off from the sedan chairs or the carriages, and walked slowly towards the gate of the mansion.
Just like what the steward of the British government said, if so many carriages were parked at the gate of the British government, it would definitely block the gate.
The two brothers who were not very happy to come here couldn't help being unhappy after hearing what the steward said, and even opened the curtain of the car, and shouted at the steward: "Why, our brothers are so honorable, and we have to be like other people. Walking to your British government?"
Being able to be sent to take charge of this matter, the steward is obviously a well-informed and flexible person. He recognized Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling just by seeing the sign on the carriage and the two brothers sitting in it.
As for the names of the two, the stewards of the honorable family knew a little bit about them, so they naturally knew that such a pair of brothers was very difficult to deal with.
Seeing the steward laughing with him, he said, "So it's the two Marquises. The little one has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, so he doesn't know that the two Marquises are coming. If you don't like this, you can drive the carriage to the gate of the mansion. But when the two Marquis arrive at the place, please drive the carriage back for a while, so why don't you block the gate?"
Zhang Heling snorted coldly when he heard the words: "Forget you are smart, otherwise, I will definitely talk to your father-in-law today."
Speaking of Zhang Heling, he directed at Feng Dao, who was driving the car: "Let's go now."
So many carriages stopped early and did not continue to move forward. On the contrary, the carriage of the Zhang family brothers continued to move forward, which naturally stood out from the crowd and became independent.
Many officials who got off their sedan chairs and walked to the British government cast surprise and concerned eyes on this carriage.
"Hey, what kind of carriage is this? It was able to break through the obstruction of the British government and continue to move forward."
"I heard that even the sedan chairs of Chief Assistant Li Dongyang, Ge Lao Yang Ting, and the two elders stopped in the distance and walked to pay homage to the old Duke. The status of the people in the carriage is really noble."
Someone recognized the carriage of the Zhang family brothers, and said in a low voice: "This is the carriage of the Shouning Hou family, everyone should be careful when speaking, if you say the wrong thing and provoke the other party, it will be a big trouble. "
As soon as they heard that it was the carriage of Shouning Hou's family, many officials who were not of high rank immediately thought of all the evil things that a pair of brothers from this family had done, and their faces showed fearful expressions.
They really couldn't afford to provoke this pair of wonderful brothers.
On the carriage, brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling watched through the windows as they were the only carriage moving forward on the long street, surrounded by officials on foot, and from time to time some officials cast surprised glances at their carriage.
This made the brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling very happy. Others could not pass by, but their brothers could. This is what makes their country uncle different.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the British residence, and the brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling got out of the carriage and looked up at the gate of the British residence.
The steward who had been accompanying him hastily went to find the ceremony official in charge of welcoming the guests, and told them that Shouninghou and Jianchanghou were here.
Hearing the words, the ceremonial officer naturally greeted him immediately, with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands to the two brothers who were looking around, and said, "You two lords, please follow me."
This ceremony official is an official sent by the Ministry of Rites, and is responsible for welcoming some high-ranking officials and dignitaries. With the identities of Shouninghou and Jianchanghou, this ceremony official is enough to welcome them.
The two brothers who were standing at the door raised their heads and glanced at the ceremony officer when they heard the words.
Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, said indifferently: "Who are you to let the British Duke Zhang Lun come to welcome us in person?"
Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, glanced at the ceremony official and said, "Our brothers have followed the Queen Mother's order and specially came to express condolences to Zhang Mao. Will you come to meet us yourself?"
Hearing this, the ceremonial officer showed a wry smile on his face and said: "Are the two Marquises representing the Empress Dowager?"
Hearing the question from the courtesy officer, Zhang Heling frowned and said, "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
The officer of etiquette said solemnly: "If the two Marquises are said to represent the Empress Dowager, then naturally the Duke of England should come to greet her in person."
Zhang Yanling snorted coldly: "Then what if we came here on our own behalf?"
The ceremony official said slowly: "Then I can only trouble the two Marquises to accompany the officials to the mourning hall to mourn the old Duke."
The meaning of the ceremony officer is very clear, that is, if they represent the queen mother, their identities are not ordinary, and Zhang Lun must come to greet them, but if they only represent themselves, they are not qualified to let Zhang Lun come.
The two brothers acted unscrupulously and absurdly, but that didn't mean they were fools.
The two brothers looked at each other, and immediately became angry. They came to express condolences to Zhang Mao regardless of the previous suspicions. This is already giving the British government a great deal of face.
But Zhang Lun didn't come to welcome them, he just didn't take them seriously, and this little courtesy officer dared to underestimate their brothers.
With a slap, Zhang Heling directly slapped the ceremony officer with a big ear slap.
Zhang Heling's slap directly stunned the ceremony official, and he looked at Zhang Heling with a look of disbelief on his face.
Zhang Heling jumped up and cursed at the ceremony officer: "What the hell are you, you dare to underestimate our brothers, get out of here and let Zhang Lun come to welcome us, otherwise, we will beat you to death, believe it or not .”
The ceremonial officer was dumbfounded. Although he knew that this pair of brothers was a wonderful pair, he had never really seen it before.
Who would have thought that this pair of brothers would actually make trouble at the British Duke's gate and at the British Duke's funeral.
The scene of Jianchanghou and Shouninghou beating someone at the door was seen by many officials in the British government.
Many people didn't show any surprise on their faces when they saw this scene, and even showed that it was so.
It seems that they will not be surprised by what the brothers do.
An official looked at the joke and said to the colleagues beside him: "Not to mention, only this pair of brothers can do such offending things."
Some officials sneered and said: "At this time, they are making a fuss in front of the British government. They really are not afraid of completely offending the British government to death."
This is Zhang Mao's funeral. Even the emperor sent envoys to express condolences, and the court elders also came here to express their condolences. What an honor it is.
But this pair of brothers dared to make such a fuss. Many people really don't know whether to say that the other party is ignorant, or whether they are really acting recklessly.
The ceremonial officer reacted and said to Shouninghou and Jianchanghou, "I am the official of the imperial court, a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang, and I have come to assist the British government in the funeral at the order of His Majesty. You... how dare you beat the official of the imperial court? I want to impeach you to His Majesty..."
Hearing the words, Zhang Yanling couldn't help raising his foot and kicking at the ceremony official, cursing angrily: "You bastard, so what if I beat you, Lord Hou, if you have the ability, go and impeach."
The etiquette official was ashamed and angry, stomped his feet suddenly and said: "Okay, okay, you wait."
Speaking of the ceremony officer, he turned around and ran to the British Duke's mansion. He had to ask the British Duke Zhang Lun to make the decision for him, and the brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling blatantly beat the ceremony officer in the British Duke's mansion and made a big fuss about the British Duke's funeral. The dead offended the British government to death.
The etiquette officer did not believe that Zhang Lun would have no reaction at all. As an official of the Ministry of Rites, he really couldn't do anything to the other party, but Zhang Lun, as a British prince, could do it.
In the mourning hall, accompanied by Zhang Lun, Li Huan paid homage to Zhang Mao, and then nodded slightly at Zhang Lun.
Just when he was about to speak, he saw that the ceremony official's face was red and swollen, and even the official uniform on his body had clear footprints, and he walked over with a face full of shame and anger.
Many people saw this scene and couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
The official of ceremonies is an official sent by the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court. Many people know this. It can be said that they represent the imperial court. What's going on? It looks like they were beaten.
It couldn't be that someone was making a fuss at the British Duke's funeral. Such a thought flashed through their minds, and these people immediately suppressed this thought.
Dare to make a scene at this time, this is really not afraid of being hated by the British government.
Don't look at Zhang Mao's disappearance, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the British government is still the home of the No. [-] honorable man in Ming Dynasty. If the energy he possesses is really to take revenge on someone, there are really few who can bear it .
Zhang Lun couldn't help but change slightly when he saw the embarrassed look of the ceremony official, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
The ceremonial officer not only represents the face of the imperial court, but also the face of their British government, but now who will tell him what is going on.
Li Huan was also stunned for a moment, and looked at the ceremony official suspiciously, but this is the British government, Zhang Lun is the owner of the British princess, and he is here to express condolences on behalf of the emperor, even if there is anything, Zhang Lun must come Disposal is.
However, Li Huan was quite curious as to what was going on.
Zhang Lun took a deep breath, apologized to Li Huan, then looked at the official, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
The ceremonial officer's face was full of grievances and said: "Back to the British Duke, a pair of brothers, Shouning Hou Zhang Heling and Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling, came to express their condolences. The officials kindly led them here, but they insisted on the British Duke. It is impossible to go to greet them in person, and even said that the subordinate officials looked down on their brothers, and beat the subordinate officials."
Zhang Lun listened to the ceremonial officer's statement, his eyes swept away, and fell on the steward of the mansion who followed him.
The steward noticed Zhang Lun's gaze, and nodded slightly at Zhang Lun, to show Zhang Lun that what the ceremonial officer said was true.
Zhang Lun's heart was full of anger.
Brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling had always been at odds with their honorable family. My grandfather had always looked down on them when he was alive, and he bluntly said that the Zhang family brothers would die sooner or later.
But the relationship between the two parties is not good, but the Zhang family brothers should never make a fuss at their grandfather's funeral. This is simply slapping their British government in the face and bullying him, the British government, for his good temper?
Thinking of this, Zhang Lun took a deep breath, with a gloomy face, and strode towards the gate of the British government.
At this moment, Qiu Ju, who was standing beside Li Huan, said in a low voice to Li Huan: "Tsk tsk, just now our family wondered who could do such a stupid thing. Nothing to be surprised about."
Li Huan couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile when he heard the words, the more you know about this pair of wonderful brothers, the more you can't laugh or cry.
In the past, relying on the love of Emperor Xiaozong and Empress Dowager Zhang, he even did such absurd things as raping court ladies and stealing imperial crowns, but now he insists that he is the emperor's own uncle, protected by his sister who is the empress dowager. absurd.
To be honest, Li Huan is really not optimistic about Zhang Lun. Zhang Lun is a British official, but he doesn't have any real power in his hands. The pair of brothers can do big things. It seems that making a fuss about Zhang Mao's funeral Nothing.
If it was an ordinary person, even if Zhang Lun ordered someone to beat him to death, no one would say anything, even if the emperor found out, he would only think that the other party deserved it.
The key to the trouble was the Zhang family brothers. If Zhang Lun really dared to hurt the pair of brothers, the emperor might not care, but the queen mother would definitely not let it go.
If the British Duke Zhang Mao is still alive, perhaps he is not afraid of these things. The key point is that Zhang Lun is not Zhang Mao.
Thinking of this in his heart, Li Huan said to Qiu Ju: "Let's go, let's go and have a look, anyway, we are also the special envoys of the emperor, if we can't do it, we will come forward and suppress that pair of brothers, we can't really let them go in the UK. There was a commotion at the funeral, it was really big, no one's face was good-looking."
Qiu Ju said with a smile: "Brother Li is still kind-hearted. It's you. If you were someone else, you wouldn't cause yourself such trouble!"
Li Huan shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's take a look first, maybe the Zhang family brothers will take care of the overall situation and not make trouble."
Qiu Ju heard what Li Huan said, and immediately said with disdain: "If their brothers know what the overall situation is, then people in this capital will not be disgusted with dogs, and no one will talk to them."
As he said that, Qiu Ju smiled at Li Huan in a low voice and said, "By the way, our family listened to His Majesty and seemed to want to match you with the youngest daughter of the British government."
Li Huan glanced at Qiu Ju and said with a smile, "When did Brother Qiu become so talkative?"
Qiu Ju said with a smile: "This is not a nonsense. Before the old Duke died, he deliberately mentioned this in front of the emperor. Although he did not directly ask the emperor to help him marry him, but he waited for the old fox. Every word and deed is full of deep meaning. When he was dying, he didn't mention anything else, but he just mentioned the matter between you and his daughter. Brother Li, you should be very clear about what his purpose is."
Li Huan couldn't help being silent when he heard the words.
He didn't know why Zhang Mao mentioned in a joking tone that he wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law when he was dying. It was not for him, but for the emperor on purpose.
Obviously, Zhang Mao's goal has been achieved, and the emperor must have kept it in his heart, otherwise, he would not have specially sent him as an envoy to express his condolences this time, and he would not have reminded him to meet him if he had the opportunity to let the British Duke The little girl who still hangs in my heart until death.
Apparently the Son of Heaven was moved.
Qiu Ju looked at Li Huan's expression and said in a low voice: "From our family's point of view, Brother Li, with your current status and future authority, if Your Majesty has a sister, he will definitely betroth her to you. It's a pity that Your Majesty has no brothers and sisters." , In this way, His Majesty can only help Brother Li choose a suitable marriage for you, and the British government seems to be the biggest candidate."
Hehe smiled, and Qiu Ju said: "So, if there are no accidents, the son-in-law of the British government, Brother Li, you have made a decision."
Seeing that Li Huan was still in deep thought, Qiu Ju said: "Let's go, think about it now, you may be the son-in-law of the British government in the future, it's not easy to let the strange pair of Marquis Jianchang and Marquis Shouning make a fuss about your future." For the funeral of the father-in-law, after you help drive away the Zhang family brothers, it will reach the ears of the girl Hibiscus in the British government, and they still don't feel grateful for you."
Li Huan raised his head with a smile on his face and said: "Let's go, marriage is a lifelong event, and how can it be settled in a few words? They're making a fuss here."
In the inner hall, Mrs. Su has been paying attention to the movement in the mourning hall, secretly looking at Li Huan a few times from time to time, and actually feels more and more satisfied as she looks at it.
Su Shi suddenly saw her husband leaving with an angry face, she couldn't help showing a bit of surprise.
At this moment, my husband is so angry, could it be that something happened?
With such a thought in his heart, Mrs. Su summoned the maid who was close to her, and gave a few instructions in a low voice, and the maid responded and walked out quietly.
Although Zhang Jin, who was kneeling by the side, said that she was very sad, but Su Shi was so close to her, and did not avoid her when giving instructions to the maid, so Zhang Jin could hear clearly.
After listening to Su's order, Zhang Jin couldn't help feeling a little bit puzzled, and subconsciously glanced outside. Could something happen to her grandfather's funeral?
No matter how indifferent she is to the outside world, it doesn't mean she doesn't know the status of their British government in Daming.
Here, Zhang Luan suppressed the anger in his heart and appeared at the gate of the mansion.
It happened that brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling were standing there with complacent faces, and many officials around them hid far away, secretly pointing at the pair of brothers.
Needless to say, these officials must have noticed the scene of Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling beating someone at the door just now.
This pair of brothers slapped not only the face of the courtesy officer, but also the face of their British government. When Zhang Lun saw this pair of brothers, he was so angry that he couldn't help but want to pounce. Go up and beat up the pair of brothers severely.
With his strength, even beating those two brothers to death would not be difficult.
At this moment, an old voice rang in my ears: "Grandpa, no."
Looking back, Zhang Lun saw that it was Kang Bo, the old housekeeper who had served his grandfather for decades.
Kang Bo shook his head slightly at Zhang Lun and said, "My lord, don't forget, this is my old man's funeral. If there is a big trouble, their brothers are already famous, so they are not afraid of shame, but our British government is... ..."
As he spoke, Kang Bo hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, even if you go up and beat them up, so what? Except that it will cause the empress dowager to hold grudges, and it will not help the matter at all."
Zhang Lun took a deep breath and said coldly: "That's better than being bullied and not reacting at all. If I don't teach their brothers a lesson today, others will think that my British government will be bullied if it changes master."
Hearing the words, Kang Bo couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhang Lun, with a bit of relief in his eyes, he bowed and said, "If you don't want me to do it, let the old slave do it."
At this moment, the two brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling happened to see Zhang Lun who came in hemp and mourning. When he saw Zhang Lun, Zhang Heling cupped his hands casually and said with a smile: "Zhang Lun, congratulations, your grandpa is dead. Now you are also a serious British Duke, don't say that our brothers don't give you British Duke face, we have come here to offer incense to your grandfather, why don't you welcome our brothers in..."
Many officials around listened to Zhang Heling's words and couldn't help covering their faces and shaking their heads. Listen, what kind of bastard is this? Congratulations to Zhang Lun for inheriting Zhang Mao's title.
The British Duke died in the battle, and the British Duke was full of grief. Zhang Heling's words were simply too hateful.
Sure enough, Zhang Lun said angrily, "Bold!"
Just when Zhang Lun was about to make a move, the old housekeeper Kang Bo said: "Don't dirty the Lord's hands, let the old slave come!"
Speaking of which, Kang Bo reacted faster than Zhang Lun, and appeared in front of Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling brothers. He raised his hand and slapped the two of them in the face, and the Zhang family brothers were stunned on the spot.
When Li Huan and Qiu Ju walked over, they happened to see this scene.
Qiu Ju glanced at Zhang Lun, and couldn't help saying in a low voice: "Not to mention, this British gentleman didn't lose his grandfather's face. He was made a fuss at his grandfather's funeral. If he didn't react at all, the British The government is doomed to fall."
Li Huan said indifferently: "Look, Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang may not give up."
Qiu Ju chuckled lightly and said: "Does that matter? They are the only ones who bully others on weekdays, who dares to touch them, that is, Brother Li, you dared to teach them a lesson. Over the years, they really haven't eaten What a loss."
Just like what Qiu Ju said, when they reacted, the two brothers Jianchanghou and Shouninghou suddenly exploded in anger, pointing at Zhang Lun viciously and yelling: "Good Zhang Lun, our brothers have a good voice!" Come here to pay homage to your grandfather, is this how your British government treats guests?"
Speaking of which, Zhang Yanling shouted: "Come here, come here quickly, you dare to beat the current court lord, beat that old bastard to death for me!"
Several servants of the Shouning Marquis Mansion immediately pulled out sticks and daggers from their bodies when they heard the words, and walked towards Kang Bo who beat the two brothers with a ferocious expression.
Zhang Lun didn't understand why Kang Bo would strike first. If he, the British prince, beat the Zhang family brothers himself, then the matter would really become a big mess. There was no room for change, and it was even very likely that Affect Zhang Mao's afterlife.
But Kang Bo's attack was different. In the eyes of others, Kang Bo's attack was obviously ordered by Zhang Lun. Otherwise, even a servant with a lot of courage would never dare to attack the two Marquis.
However, if the servants acted, they taught the Zhang family brothers a lesson, and left room for change.
So at this moment, many officials looked at Zhang Lun with a surprised look. They thought that after Zhang Mao left, the British government was very likely to decline. Now it seems that Zhang Lun's wrist is not bad. , may not be able to support the glory of the British government.
Zhang Lun stared at brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling coldly, and couldn't help sneering as he glanced at the servants who rushed up like menacing spirits. Just as he was about to order his servants to do something, a voice sounded beside him.
"Shouning Marquis, Jianchang Marquis, don't come here unharmed!"
Hearing this voice, Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, and Marquis of Jianchang, Zhang Yanling, who were originally furious, couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Then they saw Li Huan's figure, their eyes shrank involuntarily, and they took a step back subconsciously, with a little bit of expression on their faces. The color of jealousy and fear.
Obviously it was none other than Li Huan who spoke.
Only then did Zhang Lun's expression reflect that Li Huan was watching him, knowing that if he didn't show up again, the next thing would be a fight between the servants of the two governments at the funeral of the Duke of England.
When it spreads out, the reputation of the British government will be greatly damaged, even if he is not good at explaining to the emperor, isn't he? After all, he is the envoy of the emperor, and he is in the British government. He's just too incompetent.
So it's really not like Qiu Ju's joke that Li Huan's intervention at this time is to make a good impression on the future wife who has no shadow.
When Li Huan marries a wife, he still needs to consider whether the other party has a good impression of him, as long as he is pleasing to the eye, it is enough.
When Li Huan opened his mouth, everyone immediately looked at Li Huan.
Almost all the officials around had attended the Great Court Meeting not long ago, even those who did not know Li Huan before, but attended the Great Court Meeting, they all firmly remembered Li Huan in their hearts.
No matter who you forget, you dare not forget Li Huan.
If even Li Huan can't recognize him, he might offend the other party at some point. With the other party's narrow-minded nature and not taking revenge overnight, it will be too late to cry.
"Li Huan! Is he helping the British government?"
"Oh my god, when did this killing god come?"
All of a sudden, many officials hid in the distance and looked at Li Huan's figure and talked a lot.
At the same time, many people also showed excited expressions.
Officials are also human beings, and the desire to eat melons when watching the excitement is actually no different from that of ordinary people.
The common people like to watch the excitement, and so do these officials.
Originally, it was the excitement between the British government and the Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang. I thought that according to the posture just now, the two parties must have a fight at the funeral of the British Duke today.
At that time, the Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang will become even more notorious, people will hate them, and the reputation of the British government will also be damaged.
For these officials, this is a great show, but they didn't expect Li Huan to show up suddenly.
In particular, many people also noticed the reaction of Jianchanghou and Shouninghou when they saw Li Huan appearing on the stage.Knowing that Li Huan beat the two of them violently back then, there were not many officials, so many people showed surprise expressions.
The reaction of brothers Yan Ling and Zhang Heling seems to be a bit wrong. This pair of brothers is not afraid of anything. There is no one they dare not offend, and there is nothing they dare not do. Dare to make a big fuss, although Li Huan has a bad reputation, but the brothers will not be afraid.
After all, with the backing of Queen Mother Zhang, there was no need for them to be afraid of Li Huan.
Li Huan's eyes fell on those servants of the Shouning Hou family, seeing these vicious servants, especially some of them even pulled out such murderous weapons as daggers, Li Huan couldn't help but his face turned cold, and he felt a sense of evil. Sheng, I only heard Li Huan yelling: "In front of the gate of this Huanghuang British government, in front of many officials, you and other evil servants dare to hold murder weapons. Could it be that they intend to assassinate the imperial officials and try to rebel?"
The servants of the Marquis of Shouning had a deep impression of Li Huan. In the past, Li Huan took away many of their companions under the pretext of attacking the court officials and intending to rebel, and directly sentenced them to beheaded.
Even though a few years have passed, seeing Li Huan again now, especially listening to the accusations Li Huan uttered that almost woke them up from nightmares again and again, these servants immediately turned pale, and the sticks, daggers, etc. The murder weapon fell to the ground clangingly, shaking his head and saying, "No, no, we didn't attack the court officials, don't kill us..."
Some servants lay limp on the ground and wailed for mercy, while others passed out from fright, and some even trembled with their legs, a smelly liquid flowed down their legs, and they peed out of fear. .
All of a sudden, these servants were full of ugly appearances, and they saw many officials who didn't know what was going on, dumbfounded and confused.
Brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling are notorious, and of course these servants who follow the two brothers are also notoriously arrogant and arrogant. Under the instigation of the Zhang family brothers, they murder and set fire and do all kinds of evil.
But the reaction of these servants when they saw Li Huan was too exaggerated.
Even if Li Huan said that they intended to assassinate the imperial court officials, they would not be so frightened. Besides, it seems that they have never done anything about attacking imperial court officials.
Zhang Lunfang is really determined not to care about anything, and he must teach the Zhang family brothers a lesson, even if it will attract the Queen Mother's hatred for their Zhang family afterwards, and even make their Zhang family a laughing stock of many people.
But he couldn't swallow that breath.
And Li Huan's sudden utterance also helped Zhang Lun out of the siege. After all, in the situation just now, Zhang Lun and the British government were equivalent to being framed.
With so many officials watching, facing the provocations of the Zhang family brothers, if Zhang Lun did not fight back, it would really make people underestimate their British government.
But as long as there is a chance, Zhang Lun doesn't want to make a big fuss over his grandfather's funeral.
So when Li Huan spoke, Zhang Lun nodded gratefully to Li Huan.
Li Huan smiled at Zhang Lun, and looked at the two brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling.
At this time, the two brothers looked at Li Huan quite annoyed, and shouted at Li Huan with some confidence: "Li Huan, this is a matter between our brothers and the British government, and it has nothing to do with Li Huan. It's better not to meddle in other people's business, others are afraid of you, but our brothers are not afraid of you."
Anyone who is not a fool can tell that the two brothers don't want to offend Li Huan. Otherwise, with their temperament, how could they talk to Li Huan properly? Why don't they beat Li Huan and the British government together? .
Hearing this, Li Huan couldn't help laughing and said: "Really, if you say that, then Li will really take care of today's affairs!"
Brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling had suffered so much at the hands of Li Huan back then. It would be strange if they didn't hate Li Huan, but they also had a fear of Li Huan.
Who told Li Huan to strike too hard, I still have lingering fears thinking about it.
I thought that Li Huan might give them face by not interfering in their affairs with the British government, but Li Huan didn't give them face at all.
Now the two felt Zhang Lun's situation and feelings just now, and they were also held back.
For Li Huan, they really don't have much confidence, but just now they uttered big words, if Li Huan suppressed this disheartened person, in front of so many people, what face do their brothers have? .
Li Huan was condescending, watching with great interest the faces of brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling changing expressions like a dyeing workshop.
Seeing Zhang Lun now, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, and said to Li Huan in a low voice: "Lord Li, I didn't expect to bring you such trouble. It's not as good as you, my lord..."
Apparently Zhang Lun didn't want to cause trouble for Li Huan seeing the attitude of Shouninghou and Jianchanghou who refused to give up.
Before Zhang Lun finished speaking, Li Huan shook his head slightly, and the conversation between Li Huan and Zhang Lun was naturally heard by Jianchanghou and Shouninghou.
The two were delighted to see Zhang Lun persuade Li Huan, but when they heard that Li Huan refused to give up, they immediately became angry.
Zhang Heling couldn't help but said to Li Huan angrily: "Okay, okay, Li Huan, don't think that your majesty pampers you, so you can do whatever you want."
Li Huan sneered and said: "If you want to say that it is the two Marquis who act recklessly, the Queen Mother asked you to come to mourn the old Duke, not to make you make trouble here. The two of you will not think that what happened today If you make trouble with the queen mother, the queen mother will also protect you."
Zhang Yanling didn't even think about it and said: "The queen mother loves our brothers the most, you don't need to use the queen mother to suppress our brothers, you should think about how to explain to the queen mother."
Speaking of which, Zhang Yanling's face was full of anger, and he cast his eyes on Zhang Lun, and shouted: "Zhang Lun, you actually connive at your servants beating Ben Houye, today's business is endless..."
Zhang Heling yelled at those ugly servants: "Give me a group of useless things, and kill the old thing who dares to beat me. Today, I have Lord Ben here, even if he Li Huan What can I do?"
Seeing Zhang Heling's murderous face, several servants were worried. Their fear of Zhang Heling overwhelmed their fear of Li Huan. One by one, they picked up the sticks and daggers that fell on the ground, and their eyes fell on on the old butler next to Zhang Lun.
Li Huan's face turned cold. Today's matter is based on the fault of Jianchanghou and Shouninghou. Although the old housekeeper of the British government made a move, but in that situation, the other party did not beat the Zhang brothers. To die is to take into account the face of the emperor and the empress dowager, otherwise, no one would say that there is anything wrong with the British government if someone is changed, even if it is an important court official who is beaten to death on the spot.
Originally, Li Huan didn't want to make a big fuss about today's grand ceremony in the British government. He only hoped that the brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling could restrain their tempers.
"Come on!"
After Li Huan finished speaking, he saw a team of Jinyiwei captains come out.
When Li Huan travels, he usually brings Jin Yiwei with him. Most of these Jin Yiwei usually follow in the dark. Now that Li Huan called out, a team of Jin Yiwei saluted Li Huan.
When many people saw the figure of Jin Yiwei appearing, they couldn't help showing a bit of fear in their eyes.
In the past few days, Tiqi has been everywhere in Beijing, and I don't know how many officials have been tortured by the people of Jinyiwei. For the people of Jinyiwei, some people have a psychological shadow in their hearts.
"Take the Marquis of Jianchang and Marquis of Shouning for me!"
The two brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling were sure that Li Huan would not dare to do anything to them. This time it was their conflict with the British government, and they had no enmity with Li Huan. There is no good reason.
That's why the two brothers are so unscrupulous.
But what they didn't expect was that Li Huan actually dared to let Jin Yiwei take them.
Those guards in Jinyi never compromised on Li Huan's orders. After listening to Li Huan's orders, they immediately walked towards Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling brothers.
Brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling couldn't help panicking when they saw this situation, especially when those Jinyi guards slapped their evil servants to the ground with Xiuchun knives, and at the same time several Jinyi guards walked towards them.
"Li Huan, Li Huan, you are so courageous, our brother did not make a mistake, you can't treat us like this..."
"We want to see the queen mother, the queen mother will not let you go!"
The two yelled at Li Huan while dodging Jin Yiwei, but it's a pity that the two of them could be Jin Yiwei's opponents, and they were locked up by Jin Yiwei in the blink of an eye.
"Let go of Master Ben, you guys are so courageous, let go quickly..."
"Li Huan, we brothers will never end with you!"
Li Huan waved his hand and snorted coldly: "Put them all in prison for me!"
A group of guards in Jinyi responded immediately, and escorted Zhang Yanling, Zhang Heling and others away.
Brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling, with panicked faces, struggled and shouted at Li Huan: "Li Huan, you can't do this, you can't treat us like this...we want to see the Queen Mother, we want to see the Queen Mother..."
It's a pity that Li Huan acted as if he didn't hear their cries, and soon Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling brothers and their evil servants were taken away, and the yelling and shouting of the two brothers gradually faded away.
It was quiet all around, and all the officials looked at Li Huan in disbelief.
We all know that Li Huan is daring. It seems that there is no one he dare not offend, arrest, or kill. I didn't expect that today, Jianchanghou and Shouninghou, who are like plasters, would dare to offend and even kill each other. If you are caught in prison, you are really not afraid of offending the Queen Mother.
Even the British Duke Zhang Lun looked dull at the moment. Li Huan smiled at Zhang Lun and said, "British Duke, go home. The old Duke's funeral is the most important."
Zhang Lun took a deep look, then bowed deeply to Li Huan and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for rescuing our British government. Today's feelings will definitely be remembered by everyone in the British government."
Li Huan didn't care how much the news of Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling was shocked by the fact that he sent people to capture Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling, he said goodbye to Zhang Lun, and left the British government together with Qiu Ju.
Qiu Ju looked at Li Huan with a worried look on his face and said, "Brother Li, you really want to send the Zhang family brothers to prison."
Li Huan glanced at Qiu Ju and said, "That's right, I said that in front of so many people, can I still say nothing and let them go after a formality?"
Qiu Ju really thought that Li Huan was just going through the motions, in order to get rid of Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, the difficult pair of brothers, so that they would not continue to disturb Zhang Mao's funeral.
But looking at Li Huan's posture now, it is true that those two brothers are going to be thrown into prison, if the Queen Mother knows about it.
Thinking of this, Qiu Ju couldn't help shivering. He couldn't help thinking that when Emperor Xiaozong was Emperor Xiaozong, a chief prisoner was ordered to be beaten to death by the Queen Mother for reporting that the two brothers secretly wore the emperor's crown. He glanced at Li Huan with a worried look on his face.
Taking a deep breath, Qiu Ju said: "Brother Li, quickly follow me to see Your Majesty, when the time comes the Queen Mother will be furious, with Your Majesty here, I can keep you safe, brother."
Li Huan did not refuse. If it was just to arrest two Lords, Li Huan was really not afraid. Let alone arresting two Lords, even if there were more, there was nothing to worry about. The key is to be caught The status of the Zhang family brothers is so special that even he had to go to the emperor to explain.
When Li Huan and Qiu Ju rushed to meet the emperor, someone had already informed the people in Shouninghou and Jianchanghou's mansions that Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling had been arrested by Li Huan and put into imperial prison.
It is conceivable that upon receiving this news, the two families immediately exploded. Mrs. Jianchang Hou and Mrs. Shouning Hou directly changed their costumes and rushed to the palace.
Yongfu Palace
The empress dowager's bedroom is where the emperor woke up, and the empress dowager Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. She rested in the palace for the past two days to relax her mind.
That day, Empress Dowager Zhang was sitting there, listening to the eunuch next to her tell her what happened at the Great Court Meeting not long ago, and learned that dozens of officials were arrested at once, she couldn't help but relieve her anger and said: "Good arrest, They even dare to murder the emperor, and they will all have their families confiscated and exterminated."
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Zhang's heart moved and she said: "This Li Huan is really loyal. It is thanks to him that the emperor was able to wake up this time, but his temper is too straightforward, even the palace dares to confront me."
The eunuch smiled and said: "Then Li Huan is indeed a bit bold, that is to say, you are generous and generous, and you don't have the same knowledge as him."
The first update will be delivered, and there will be another update in the evening. Ask for a full subscription, monthly pass, and reward it!
(End of this chapter)
It is true that Li Huan's appearance and temperament are very different from ordinary people, especially the glorious demeanor that flows out of his body inadvertently. Su feels that he also saw it in his late grandfather Zhang Mao. Pass.
As for his own husband, even if he inherited the title of Duke of England, he doesn't have any real power in his hands. Compared with Li Huan, a prominent official who has great power and can kill with his heart, he is obviously weaker.
So at this moment, when Su looks at Li Huan, his eyes are full of splendor, and he feels that his grandfather is really astute. If he can really recruit Li Huan as the son-in-law of the British government, he will definitely It will be of great benefit to them and the British government.
Don't look at their British government, which seems to be full of flowers and cooking oil, but the Su family has maintained a clear enough mind and is not fascinated by the current appearance.
The death of the British Duke Zhang Mao can be said to have pushed the momentum of their British government to the peak. Whether it was the emperor who proclaimed Zhang Mao the King of Ningyang, was buried with the treatment of a prince, or the many civil and military ministers who came to mourn today, it seems obvious. With the great power of their British government.
It's just that all of this is obviously Zhang Mao's last shadow. There is a saying that people take tea to cool down. After Zhang Mao died, he expected Zhang Lun to support the British government. To be honest, Su Shi really didn't have much confidence in his husband. .
Originally, when Su Shi heard Zhang Lun's unintentional mention of Zhang Mao's intention to match Li Huan and Zhang Jin, he had already kept it in his heart.
It's just that the Su family has never met Li Huan in the inner house, and even what he knows about Li Huan is mostly heard from the subordinates.
Thanks to the blessing of Beijing officials, one can imagine what kind of reputation Li Huan will have in Beijing.
It is a good thing to say that Li Huan is narrow-minded, murderous, and revenge is not overnight. Many people even directly compare Li Huan to a big devil who eats people's hearts raw and roasts human flesh with charcoal.
The Su family is not like most people, but after hearing so many rumors about Li Huan, it is natural for him to secretly guess what kind of person Li Huan is.
Now after seeing Li Huan for real, even though he only glanced at him from a distance, Su's impression of Li Huan has changed drastically. What kind of fierce god is this one foot tall and as strong as an ox? He is completely a handsome boy , and my little aunt who is as cold as a fairy is really a good match.
The Su family made up their minds, even if it was for their own future, they had to urge their family lord, for an outstanding figure like Li Huan, he had to make an early move, maybe someone would already be eyeing Li right now. Huan.Otherwise, if they miss it, it will be a huge loss for their British government.
These thoughts flashed through my mind, and my eyes swept over Zhang Jin who was kneeling and weeping in a low voice, sighed lightly, frowned, moved slightly, knelt beside Zhang Jin, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Jin, what are you waiting for?" Look at that man!"
Zhang Jin was immersed in grief, and didn't pay attention to external affairs.
In this British government, there are only a few people who really love her, and Zhang Mao is the one who loves her the most. Now that Zhang Mao has passed away, Zhang Jin is heartbroken. It is also difficult to suppress the grief in the heart when a loved one dies.
At this moment, Su Shi's voice came to his ears, Zhang Jin slowly raised his head, and suddenly a cold and refined face appeared in front of Su Shi, with crystal teardrops hanging on that delicate face, it was really pear blossom Bringing rain, I feel pity when I see it, even a woman from the Su family can't help being amazed when she sees it.
Seeing the puzzled look in Zhang Jin's eyes, Su said in a low voice, "Aunt Jin, what do you think of that person?"
Zhang Jin didn't know what Su Shi meant, and subconsciously looked in the direction Su Shi was pointing after hearing the words.
His cold eyes swept over Li Huan who was burning incense to mourn Zhang Mao in the mourning hall. His eyes were indifferent. He only felt that the other party gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
A trace of doubt flashed in my heart, and finally looked at Su Shi, shook his head slowly and said, "Who is this person? Is there anything wrong?"
Not long ago, Li Huan and Zhang Jin met once, but it was in the middle of the night, and Li Huan hurried all the way back from Fujian, thousands of miles away, looking disheveled and embarrassed.
Therefore, comparing Li Huan's appearance before with his current appearance, he is completely like two people. Let alone Zhang Jin and Li Huan only met once, even if he really remembers Li Huan's appearance at that time, it may be difficult. Match the current Li Huan.
So Zhang Jin didn't know what Li Huan's identity was at all, but she could also see that Li Huan was qualified to enter the mourning hall to mourn her father, and even her nephew who inherited the title respectfully accompanied her, so It can be guessed that the other party is definitely not an ordinary person, I am afraid that he has an extraordinary background.
Su Shi just smiled when she heard the words, and didn't say much, after all, she just wanted Zhang Jin to take a look at Li Huan.
In this way, Zhang Jin has a little impression of Li Huan. If there is a real hope of getting married in the future, it is not considered a blind marriage, is it?
In the mourning hall here, Li Huan solemnly offered joss sticks to Zhang Mao's spiritual throne, paying homage seriously.
Suddenly, he felt a gaze sweeping over him, and with Li Huan's keen five senses, he looked up almost instinctively.
Following that gaze, I happened to see many female family members kneeling and crying in the inner room, and the gaze that swept over him was instantly withdrawn. Even if he reacted very quickly, he only had time to see a pair of clear The spirit is clear, the red and swollen eyes are faintly visible, and then it is just a slim figure in filial piety clothes.
It was the female family member in the inner room, and Li Huan just glanced at it by offering incense. If he didn't feel that someone was looking at him, Li Huan would not have looked at the female family member in the inner room under such circumstances. If people find out, they are afraid that they will be scolded behind their backs for not being polite.
On the long street in front of the British government, there are carriages like a forest, and the officials who come to pay homage to the British government come and go, coming in and out, this scene alone is amazing.
On the long street, an extremely luxurious carriage is driving slowly. A small flag is planted on the carriage, with characters embroidered on it.
If anyone who knows this small embroidered flag sees it, they will definitely be amazed by it. This astonishingly luxurious carriage is exactly the car of Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning.
At this time, in this carriage, two brothers, Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, and Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang, were sitting in it.
The two brothers each held a delicate woman in their arms. Their big hands disappeared under the woman's clothes, and there was a weak voice in the carriage.
Fortunately, this carriage is big enough, otherwise, it really wouldn't be able to accommodate four people.
At this moment, Zhang Yanling said to Zhang Heling with a bit of schadenfreude on his face: "Brother, this old man Zhang Mao is dead, and their British government is counting on a mere Zhang Lun to see how arrogant they are."
Zhang Heling smiled slightly and said: "That's natural. On weekdays, that old fellow Zhang Mao dared to look down on our brothers just because he was a veteran of several dynasties, and his qualifications were old enough. If it weren't for the generations of emperors and our The brother-in-law dotes on their British government too much, I really think that an old guy like him can be prosperous so far."
Zhang Yanling and Zhang Yanling nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, my group has no power at all by those civil servants, and everyone has become empty-handed, and dare to look down on our brothers. This time, this old guy is dead, otherwise If so, just because he didn't take good care of the Beijing camp for our nephew, so that Changxinghou's bastard led the army to rebel is enough for Zhang Mao to drink a pot."
Zhang Heling snorted coldly and said: "Our eldest nephew is really too magnanimous and kind. For an old guy like Zhang Mao who neglected his duties and almost killed him, why should he be so considerate? If you want me to say, Even if they don't get rid of the titles of the British government, they have to be taught a lesson."
Speaking of this, Zhang Heling said with a bit of resentment: "The old man is still named King Ningyang, and he can be buried in a grand manner as a prince. His British government is really very beautiful at the moment."
Zhang Yanling said: "If my sister hadn't sent someone to inform us this time, asking us to go to mourn the old guy, I wouldn't go because of his arrogance that he usually looks down on our brother."
Zhang Heling took a look at Zhang Yanling and said, "Okay, since my sister told us to go, then let's go, we're going to give them face for the British government, if Zhang Lun doesn't come to welcome us in person, we really won't go in gone."
People like Zhang Mao and Zhu Fu belonged to nobles, while Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling obviously belonged to relatives. In the Ming Dynasty, relatives had almost no sense of existence, and even less real power. It can be said that they are almost the same as nobles.
Ordinarily, when encountering two groups of people in the same situation like this, they should choose to hug each other for warmth, but Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling are such a strange pair of brothers.
The things he has done, one after another, are simply challenging the bottom line of the dynasty's laws, and his poor conduct, among so many foreign relatives in the Ming Dynasty, can be regarded as the only one.
It is conceivable that such a pair of brothers and relatives, with Zhang Mao's arrogant temperament, would be strange if they could look up to Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling.
In the beginning, brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling listened to the Queen Mother's orders, hoping to get closer to the Xungui Group.
At the beginning, the Xungui Group didn't know what kind of temperament these two brothers were. Seeing the face of Zhang, who was the queen at the time, the Xungui Group did not reject them, and the relationship between the two parties was more or less harmonious.
However, who would have thought that this pair of brothers would be able to do the absurd thing of raping a court lady openly in the palace in broad daylight.
It can be said that since then, the Xungui Group headed by Zhang Mao has completely seen what the pair of brothers are. A pair of wonderful brothers didn't even know they were cheated to death.
That is to say, since that time, the two sides have become dirty. When they meet each other on weekdays, they also hate each other. one bad.
Just like what Zhang Yanling said, if the Empress Dowager Zhang hadn't personally ordered them to mourn Zhang Mao this time, their brothers really wouldn't have gone to the British government to join in the fun.
Zhang Mao died, and if they didn't clap their hands and applaud, it would already be showing face to the British government, and even wanting them to pay condolences, don't even think about it.
At this time, Zhang Heling said to the outside of the carriage: "Feng Da, how far is it from the British government? Why don't you drive the carriage faster?"
At this moment, Zhang Heling only wanted to follow the Queen Mother Zhang's instructions, go to the British government to express condolences, and then go back to the residence.
Isn't it better to tease the crickets in the mansion, or play some interesting games with the beauties?
Outside the carriage, Feng Da, who was driving the carriage, said: "Master, it's not that you don't want to hurry up the carriage. There are people coming and going on this road, and there are too many carriages, especially as the distance from the British government is getting closer and closer. The closer you are, the more carriages will come and go, and you won't be able to get up at all."
Hearing what Feng Da said, Zhang Heling couldn't help lifting the curtain of the car and looking outside.
Zhang Heling couldn't help opening his eyes wide after seeing it, and saw that the streets on both sides were covered with white flags, and carriages that looked like wealthy families were passing by, and a depressive and sad atmosphere rushed over.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Heling's face was full of astonishment, and Zhang Yanling noticed her brother's expression and couldn't help asking in surprise: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Zhang Heling took a deep breath and said, "Come and take a look, this British government really has a lot of handwriting, they hang a whole street with white flags."
Hearing what Zhang Heling said, Zhang Yanling also came over and looked outside. When looking at the situation outside, he also showed a look of astonishment.
Immediately Zhang Yanling said angrily: "When our father died, our family held funerals, and it wasn't such a big show. Their British government really had a big show."
While speaking, the carriage had already approached the British government, and at this moment several servants of the British government stopped on the long street in front.
With a creak, the carriage stopped. Zhang Heling saw that there was still some distance from the British government, but Feng Da stopped unexpectedly.
Zhang Heling couldn't help cursing angrily: "Feng Da, what are you doing to eat? Why did you stop here? Could it be that you want Master Hou and me to walk there?"
At this moment, among the servants of the British government who were blocking the carriage, a steward hurriedly accompanied him and said: "My lord, it's not that we specifically want to block your carriage, it's really that my country's father-in-law wanted to avoid causing a long street. Congestion, I specially ask all the nobles to park the carriages near here, otherwise, everyone will rush to the gate of the mansion, and I am afraid that the gate of the British government will be blocked."
Many carriages and sedan chairs in the surrounding area stopped nearby, and even those far away stopped. Instead, they got off from the sedan chairs or the carriages, and walked slowly towards the gate of the mansion.
Just like what the steward of the British government said, if so many carriages were parked at the gate of the British government, it would definitely block the gate.
The two brothers who were not very happy to come here couldn't help being unhappy after hearing what the steward said, and even opened the curtain of the car, and shouted at the steward: "Why, our brothers are so honorable, and we have to be like other people. Walking to your British government?"
Being able to be sent to take charge of this matter, the steward is obviously a well-informed and flexible person. He recognized Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling just by seeing the sign on the carriage and the two brothers sitting in it.
As for the names of the two, the stewards of the honorable family knew a little bit about them, so they naturally knew that such a pair of brothers was very difficult to deal with.
Seeing the steward laughing with him, he said, "So it's the two Marquises. The little one has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, so he doesn't know that the two Marquises are coming. If you don't like this, you can drive the carriage to the gate of the mansion. But when the two Marquis arrive at the place, please drive the carriage back for a while, so why don't you block the gate?"
Zhang Heling snorted coldly when he heard the words: "Forget you are smart, otherwise, I will definitely talk to your father-in-law today."
Speaking of Zhang Heling, he directed at Feng Dao, who was driving the car: "Let's go now."
So many carriages stopped early and did not continue to move forward. On the contrary, the carriage of the Zhang family brothers continued to move forward, which naturally stood out from the crowd and became independent.
Many officials who got off their sedan chairs and walked to the British government cast surprise and concerned eyes on this carriage.
"Hey, what kind of carriage is this? It was able to break through the obstruction of the British government and continue to move forward."
"I heard that even the sedan chairs of Chief Assistant Li Dongyang, Ge Lao Yang Ting, and the two elders stopped in the distance and walked to pay homage to the old Duke. The status of the people in the carriage is really noble."
Someone recognized the carriage of the Zhang family brothers, and said in a low voice: "This is the carriage of the Shouning Hou family, everyone should be careful when speaking, if you say the wrong thing and provoke the other party, it will be a big trouble. "
As soon as they heard that it was the carriage of Shouning Hou's family, many officials who were not of high rank immediately thought of all the evil things that a pair of brothers from this family had done, and their faces showed fearful expressions.
They really couldn't afford to provoke this pair of wonderful brothers.
On the carriage, brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling watched through the windows as they were the only carriage moving forward on the long street, surrounded by officials on foot, and from time to time some officials cast surprised glances at their carriage.
This made the brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling very happy. Others could not pass by, but their brothers could. This is what makes their country uncle different.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the British residence, and the brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling got out of the carriage and looked up at the gate of the British residence.
The steward who had been accompanying him hastily went to find the ceremony official in charge of welcoming the guests, and told them that Shouninghou and Jianchanghou were here.
Hearing the words, the ceremonial officer naturally greeted him immediately, with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands to the two brothers who were looking around, and said, "You two lords, please follow me."
This ceremony official is an official sent by the Ministry of Rites, and is responsible for welcoming some high-ranking officials and dignitaries. With the identities of Shouninghou and Jianchanghou, this ceremony official is enough to welcome them.
The two brothers who were standing at the door raised their heads and glanced at the ceremony officer when they heard the words.
Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, said indifferently: "Who are you to let the British Duke Zhang Lun come to welcome us in person?"
Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, glanced at the ceremony official and said, "Our brothers have followed the Queen Mother's order and specially came to express condolences to Zhang Mao. Will you come to meet us yourself?"
Hearing this, the ceremonial officer showed a wry smile on his face and said: "Are the two Marquises representing the Empress Dowager?"
Hearing the question from the courtesy officer, Zhang Heling frowned and said, "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
The officer of etiquette said solemnly: "If the two Marquises are said to represent the Empress Dowager, then naturally the Duke of England should come to greet her in person."
Zhang Yanling snorted coldly: "Then what if we came here on our own behalf?"
The ceremony official said slowly: "Then I can only trouble the two Marquises to accompany the officials to the mourning hall to mourn the old Duke."
The meaning of the ceremony officer is very clear, that is, if they represent the queen mother, their identities are not ordinary, and Zhang Lun must come to greet them, but if they only represent themselves, they are not qualified to let Zhang Lun come.
The two brothers acted unscrupulously and absurdly, but that didn't mean they were fools.
The two brothers looked at each other, and immediately became angry. They came to express condolences to Zhang Mao regardless of the previous suspicions. This is already giving the British government a great deal of face.
But Zhang Lun didn't come to welcome them, he just didn't take them seriously, and this little courtesy officer dared to underestimate their brothers.
With a slap, Zhang Heling directly slapped the ceremony officer with a big ear slap.
Zhang Heling's slap directly stunned the ceremony official, and he looked at Zhang Heling with a look of disbelief on his face.
Zhang Heling jumped up and cursed at the ceremony officer: "What the hell are you, you dare to underestimate our brothers, get out of here and let Zhang Lun come to welcome us, otherwise, we will beat you to death, believe it or not .”
The ceremonial officer was dumbfounded. Although he knew that this pair of brothers was a wonderful pair, he had never really seen it before.
Who would have thought that this pair of brothers would actually make trouble at the British Duke's gate and at the British Duke's funeral.
The scene of Jianchanghou and Shouninghou beating someone at the door was seen by many officials in the British government.
Many people didn't show any surprise on their faces when they saw this scene, and even showed that it was so.
It seems that they will not be surprised by what the brothers do.
An official looked at the joke and said to the colleagues beside him: "Not to mention, only this pair of brothers can do such offending things."
Some officials sneered and said: "At this time, they are making a fuss in front of the British government. They really are not afraid of completely offending the British government to death."
This is Zhang Mao's funeral. Even the emperor sent envoys to express condolences, and the court elders also came here to express their condolences. What an honor it is.
But this pair of brothers dared to make such a fuss. Many people really don't know whether to say that the other party is ignorant, or whether they are really acting recklessly.
The ceremonial officer reacted and said to Shouninghou and Jianchanghou, "I am the official of the imperial court, a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang, and I have come to assist the British government in the funeral at the order of His Majesty. You... how dare you beat the official of the imperial court? I want to impeach you to His Majesty..."
Hearing the words, Zhang Yanling couldn't help raising his foot and kicking at the ceremony official, cursing angrily: "You bastard, so what if I beat you, Lord Hou, if you have the ability, go and impeach."
The etiquette official was ashamed and angry, stomped his feet suddenly and said: "Okay, okay, you wait."
Speaking of the ceremony officer, he turned around and ran to the British Duke's mansion. He had to ask the British Duke Zhang Lun to make the decision for him, and the brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling blatantly beat the ceremony officer in the British Duke's mansion and made a big fuss about the British Duke's funeral. The dead offended the British government to death.
The etiquette officer did not believe that Zhang Lun would have no reaction at all. As an official of the Ministry of Rites, he really couldn't do anything to the other party, but Zhang Lun, as a British prince, could do it.
In the mourning hall, accompanied by Zhang Lun, Li Huan paid homage to Zhang Mao, and then nodded slightly at Zhang Lun.
Just when he was about to speak, he saw that the ceremony official's face was red and swollen, and even the official uniform on his body had clear footprints, and he walked over with a face full of shame and anger.
Many people saw this scene and couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
The official of ceremonies is an official sent by the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court. Many people know this. It can be said that they represent the imperial court. What's going on? It looks like they were beaten.
It couldn't be that someone was making a fuss at the British Duke's funeral. Such a thought flashed through their minds, and these people immediately suppressed this thought.
Dare to make a scene at this time, this is really not afraid of being hated by the British government.
Don't look at Zhang Mao's disappearance, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the British government is still the home of the No. [-] honorable man in Ming Dynasty. If the energy he possesses is really to take revenge on someone, there are really few who can bear it .
Zhang Lun couldn't help but change slightly when he saw the embarrassed look of the ceremony official, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
The ceremonial officer not only represents the face of the imperial court, but also the face of their British government, but now who will tell him what is going on.
Li Huan was also stunned for a moment, and looked at the ceremony official suspiciously, but this is the British government, Zhang Lun is the owner of the British princess, and he is here to express condolences on behalf of the emperor, even if there is anything, Zhang Lun must come Disposal is.
However, Li Huan was quite curious as to what was going on.
Zhang Lun took a deep breath, apologized to Li Huan, then looked at the official, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
The ceremonial officer's face was full of grievances and said: "Back to the British Duke, a pair of brothers, Shouning Hou Zhang Heling and Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling, came to express their condolences. The officials kindly led them here, but they insisted on the British Duke. It is impossible to go to greet them in person, and even said that the subordinate officials looked down on their brothers, and beat the subordinate officials."
Zhang Lun listened to the ceremonial officer's statement, his eyes swept away, and fell on the steward of the mansion who followed him.
The steward noticed Zhang Lun's gaze, and nodded slightly at Zhang Lun, to show Zhang Lun that what the ceremonial officer said was true.
Zhang Lun's heart was full of anger.
Brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling had always been at odds with their honorable family. My grandfather had always looked down on them when he was alive, and he bluntly said that the Zhang family brothers would die sooner or later.
But the relationship between the two parties is not good, but the Zhang family brothers should never make a fuss at their grandfather's funeral. This is simply slapping their British government in the face and bullying him, the British government, for his good temper?
Thinking of this, Zhang Lun took a deep breath, with a gloomy face, and strode towards the gate of the British government.
At this moment, Qiu Ju, who was standing beside Li Huan, said in a low voice to Li Huan: "Tsk tsk, just now our family wondered who could do such a stupid thing. Nothing to be surprised about."
Li Huan couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile when he heard the words, the more you know about this pair of wonderful brothers, the more you can't laugh or cry.
In the past, relying on the love of Emperor Xiaozong and Empress Dowager Zhang, he even did such absurd things as raping court ladies and stealing imperial crowns, but now he insists that he is the emperor's own uncle, protected by his sister who is the empress dowager. absurd.
To be honest, Li Huan is really not optimistic about Zhang Lun. Zhang Lun is a British official, but he doesn't have any real power in his hands. The pair of brothers can do big things. It seems that making a fuss about Zhang Mao's funeral Nothing.
If it was an ordinary person, even if Zhang Lun ordered someone to beat him to death, no one would say anything, even if the emperor found out, he would only think that the other party deserved it.
The key to the trouble was the Zhang family brothers. If Zhang Lun really dared to hurt the pair of brothers, the emperor might not care, but the queen mother would definitely not let it go.
If the British Duke Zhang Mao is still alive, perhaps he is not afraid of these things. The key point is that Zhang Lun is not Zhang Mao.
Thinking of this in his heart, Li Huan said to Qiu Ju: "Let's go, let's go and have a look, anyway, we are also the special envoys of the emperor, if we can't do it, we will come forward and suppress that pair of brothers, we can't really let them go in the UK. There was a commotion at the funeral, it was really big, no one's face was good-looking."
Qiu Ju said with a smile: "Brother Li is still kind-hearted. It's you. If you were someone else, you wouldn't cause yourself such trouble!"
Li Huan shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's take a look first, maybe the Zhang family brothers will take care of the overall situation and not make trouble."
Qiu Ju heard what Li Huan said, and immediately said with disdain: "If their brothers know what the overall situation is, then people in this capital will not be disgusted with dogs, and no one will talk to them."
As he said that, Qiu Ju smiled at Li Huan in a low voice and said, "By the way, our family listened to His Majesty and seemed to want to match you with the youngest daughter of the British government."
Li Huan glanced at Qiu Ju and said with a smile, "When did Brother Qiu become so talkative?"
Qiu Ju said with a smile: "This is not a nonsense. Before the old Duke died, he deliberately mentioned this in front of the emperor. Although he did not directly ask the emperor to help him marry him, but he waited for the old fox. Every word and deed is full of deep meaning. When he was dying, he didn't mention anything else, but he just mentioned the matter between you and his daughter. Brother Li, you should be very clear about what his purpose is."
Li Huan couldn't help being silent when he heard the words.
He didn't know why Zhang Mao mentioned in a joking tone that he wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law when he was dying. It was not for him, but for the emperor on purpose.
Obviously, Zhang Mao's goal has been achieved, and the emperor must have kept it in his heart, otherwise, he would not have specially sent him as an envoy to express his condolences this time, and he would not have reminded him to meet him if he had the opportunity to let the British Duke The little girl who still hangs in my heart until death.
Apparently the Son of Heaven was moved.
Qiu Ju looked at Li Huan's expression and said in a low voice: "From our family's point of view, Brother Li, with your current status and future authority, if Your Majesty has a sister, he will definitely betroth her to you. It's a pity that Your Majesty has no brothers and sisters." , In this way, His Majesty can only help Brother Li choose a suitable marriage for you, and the British government seems to be the biggest candidate."
Hehe smiled, and Qiu Ju said: "So, if there are no accidents, the son-in-law of the British government, Brother Li, you have made a decision."
Seeing that Li Huan was still in deep thought, Qiu Ju said: "Let's go, think about it now, you may be the son-in-law of the British government in the future, it's not easy to let the strange pair of Marquis Jianchang and Marquis Shouning make a fuss about your future." For the funeral of the father-in-law, after you help drive away the Zhang family brothers, it will reach the ears of the girl Hibiscus in the British government, and they still don't feel grateful for you."
Li Huan raised his head with a smile on his face and said: "Let's go, marriage is a lifelong event, and how can it be settled in a few words? They're making a fuss here."
In the inner hall, Mrs. Su has been paying attention to the movement in the mourning hall, secretly looking at Li Huan a few times from time to time, and actually feels more and more satisfied as she looks at it.
Su Shi suddenly saw her husband leaving with an angry face, she couldn't help showing a bit of surprise.
At this moment, my husband is so angry, could it be that something happened?
With such a thought in his heart, Mrs. Su summoned the maid who was close to her, and gave a few instructions in a low voice, and the maid responded and walked out quietly.
Although Zhang Jin, who was kneeling by the side, said that she was very sad, but Su Shi was so close to her, and did not avoid her when giving instructions to the maid, so Zhang Jin could hear clearly.
After listening to Su's order, Zhang Jin couldn't help feeling a little bit puzzled, and subconsciously glanced outside. Could something happen to her grandfather's funeral?
No matter how indifferent she is to the outside world, it doesn't mean she doesn't know the status of their British government in Daming.
Here, Zhang Luan suppressed the anger in his heart and appeared at the gate of the mansion.
It happened that brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling were standing there with complacent faces, and many officials around them hid far away, secretly pointing at the pair of brothers.
Needless to say, these officials must have noticed the scene of Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling beating someone at the door just now.
This pair of brothers slapped not only the face of the courtesy officer, but also the face of their British government. When Zhang Lun saw this pair of brothers, he was so angry that he couldn't help but want to pounce. Go up and beat up the pair of brothers severely.
With his strength, even beating those two brothers to death would not be difficult.
At this moment, an old voice rang in my ears: "Grandpa, no."
Looking back, Zhang Lun saw that it was Kang Bo, the old housekeeper who had served his grandfather for decades.
Kang Bo shook his head slightly at Zhang Lun and said, "My lord, don't forget, this is my old man's funeral. If there is a big trouble, their brothers are already famous, so they are not afraid of shame, but our British government is... ..."
As he spoke, Kang Bo hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, even if you go up and beat them up, so what? Except that it will cause the empress dowager to hold grudges, and it will not help the matter at all."
Zhang Lun took a deep breath and said coldly: "That's better than being bullied and not reacting at all. If I don't teach their brothers a lesson today, others will think that my British government will be bullied if it changes master."
Hearing the words, Kang Bo couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhang Lun, with a bit of relief in his eyes, he bowed and said, "If you don't want me to do it, let the old slave do it."
At this moment, the two brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling happened to see Zhang Lun who came in hemp and mourning. When he saw Zhang Lun, Zhang Heling cupped his hands casually and said with a smile: "Zhang Lun, congratulations, your grandpa is dead. Now you are also a serious British Duke, don't say that our brothers don't give you British Duke face, we have come here to offer incense to your grandfather, why don't you welcome our brothers in..."
Many officials around listened to Zhang Heling's words and couldn't help covering their faces and shaking their heads. Listen, what kind of bastard is this? Congratulations to Zhang Lun for inheriting Zhang Mao's title.
The British Duke died in the battle, and the British Duke was full of grief. Zhang Heling's words were simply too hateful.
Sure enough, Zhang Lun said angrily, "Bold!"
Just when Zhang Lun was about to make a move, the old housekeeper Kang Bo said: "Don't dirty the Lord's hands, let the old slave come!"
Speaking of which, Kang Bo reacted faster than Zhang Lun, and appeared in front of Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling brothers. He raised his hand and slapped the two of them in the face, and the Zhang family brothers were stunned on the spot.
When Li Huan and Qiu Ju walked over, they happened to see this scene.
Qiu Ju glanced at Zhang Lun, and couldn't help saying in a low voice: "Not to mention, this British gentleman didn't lose his grandfather's face. He was made a fuss at his grandfather's funeral. If he didn't react at all, the British The government is doomed to fall."
Li Huan said indifferently: "Look, Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang may not give up."
Qiu Ju chuckled lightly and said: "Does that matter? They are the only ones who bully others on weekdays, who dares to touch them, that is, Brother Li, you dared to teach them a lesson. Over the years, they really haven't eaten What a loss."
Just like what Qiu Ju said, when they reacted, the two brothers Jianchanghou and Shouninghou suddenly exploded in anger, pointing at Zhang Lun viciously and yelling: "Good Zhang Lun, our brothers have a good voice!" Come here to pay homage to your grandfather, is this how your British government treats guests?"
Speaking of which, Zhang Yanling shouted: "Come here, come here quickly, you dare to beat the current court lord, beat that old bastard to death for me!"
Several servants of the Shouning Marquis Mansion immediately pulled out sticks and daggers from their bodies when they heard the words, and walked towards Kang Bo who beat the two brothers with a ferocious expression.
Zhang Lun didn't understand why Kang Bo would strike first. If he, the British prince, beat the Zhang family brothers himself, then the matter would really become a big mess. There was no room for change, and it was even very likely that Affect Zhang Mao's afterlife.
But Kang Bo's attack was different. In the eyes of others, Kang Bo's attack was obviously ordered by Zhang Lun. Otherwise, even a servant with a lot of courage would never dare to attack the two Marquis.
However, if the servants acted, they taught the Zhang family brothers a lesson, and left room for change.
So at this moment, many officials looked at Zhang Lun with a surprised look. They thought that after Zhang Mao left, the British government was very likely to decline. Now it seems that Zhang Lun's wrist is not bad. , may not be able to support the glory of the British government.
Zhang Lun stared at brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling coldly, and couldn't help sneering as he glanced at the servants who rushed up like menacing spirits. Just as he was about to order his servants to do something, a voice sounded beside him.
"Shouning Marquis, Jianchang Marquis, don't come here unharmed!"
Hearing this voice, Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, and Marquis of Jianchang, Zhang Yanling, who were originally furious, couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Then they saw Li Huan's figure, their eyes shrank involuntarily, and they took a step back subconsciously, with a little bit of expression on their faces. The color of jealousy and fear.
Obviously it was none other than Li Huan who spoke.
Only then did Zhang Lun's expression reflect that Li Huan was watching him, knowing that if he didn't show up again, the next thing would be a fight between the servants of the two governments at the funeral of the Duke of England.
When it spreads out, the reputation of the British government will be greatly damaged, even if he is not good at explaining to the emperor, isn't he? After all, he is the envoy of the emperor, and he is in the British government. He's just too incompetent.
So it's really not like Qiu Ju's joke that Li Huan's intervention at this time is to make a good impression on the future wife who has no shadow.
When Li Huan marries a wife, he still needs to consider whether the other party has a good impression of him, as long as he is pleasing to the eye, it is enough.
When Li Huan opened his mouth, everyone immediately looked at Li Huan.
Almost all the officials around had attended the Great Court Meeting not long ago, even those who did not know Li Huan before, but attended the Great Court Meeting, they all firmly remembered Li Huan in their hearts.
No matter who you forget, you dare not forget Li Huan.
If even Li Huan can't recognize him, he might offend the other party at some point. With the other party's narrow-minded nature and not taking revenge overnight, it will be too late to cry.
"Li Huan! Is he helping the British government?"
"Oh my god, when did this killing god come?"
All of a sudden, many officials hid in the distance and looked at Li Huan's figure and talked a lot.
At the same time, many people also showed excited expressions.
Officials are also human beings, and the desire to eat melons when watching the excitement is actually no different from that of ordinary people.
The common people like to watch the excitement, and so do these officials.
Originally, it was the excitement between the British government and the Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang. I thought that according to the posture just now, the two parties must have a fight at the funeral of the British Duke today.
At that time, the Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang will become even more notorious, people will hate them, and the reputation of the British government will also be damaged.
For these officials, this is a great show, but they didn't expect Li Huan to show up suddenly.
In particular, many people also noticed the reaction of Jianchanghou and Shouninghou when they saw Li Huan appearing on the stage.Knowing that Li Huan beat the two of them violently back then, there were not many officials, so many people showed surprise expressions.
The reaction of brothers Yan Ling and Zhang Heling seems to be a bit wrong. This pair of brothers is not afraid of anything. There is no one they dare not offend, and there is nothing they dare not do. Dare to make a big fuss, although Li Huan has a bad reputation, but the brothers will not be afraid.
After all, with the backing of Queen Mother Zhang, there was no need for them to be afraid of Li Huan.
Li Huan's eyes fell on those servants of the Shouning Hou family, seeing these vicious servants, especially some of them even pulled out such murderous weapons as daggers, Li Huan couldn't help but his face turned cold, and he felt a sense of evil. Sheng, I only heard Li Huan yelling: "In front of the gate of this Huanghuang British government, in front of many officials, you and other evil servants dare to hold murder weapons. Could it be that they intend to assassinate the imperial officials and try to rebel?"
The servants of the Marquis of Shouning had a deep impression of Li Huan. In the past, Li Huan took away many of their companions under the pretext of attacking the court officials and intending to rebel, and directly sentenced them to beheaded.
Even though a few years have passed, seeing Li Huan again now, especially listening to the accusations Li Huan uttered that almost woke them up from nightmares again and again, these servants immediately turned pale, and the sticks, daggers, etc. The murder weapon fell to the ground clangingly, shaking his head and saying, "No, no, we didn't attack the court officials, don't kill us..."
Some servants lay limp on the ground and wailed for mercy, while others passed out from fright, and some even trembled with their legs, a smelly liquid flowed down their legs, and they peed out of fear. .
All of a sudden, these servants were full of ugly appearances, and they saw many officials who didn't know what was going on, dumbfounded and confused.
Brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling are notorious, and of course these servants who follow the two brothers are also notoriously arrogant and arrogant. Under the instigation of the Zhang family brothers, they murder and set fire and do all kinds of evil.
But the reaction of these servants when they saw Li Huan was too exaggerated.
Even if Li Huan said that they intended to assassinate the imperial court officials, they would not be so frightened. Besides, it seems that they have never done anything about attacking imperial court officials.
Zhang Lunfang is really determined not to care about anything, and he must teach the Zhang family brothers a lesson, even if it will attract the Queen Mother's hatred for their Zhang family afterwards, and even make their Zhang family a laughing stock of many people.
But he couldn't swallow that breath.
And Li Huan's sudden utterance also helped Zhang Lun out of the siege. After all, in the situation just now, Zhang Lun and the British government were equivalent to being framed.
With so many officials watching, facing the provocations of the Zhang family brothers, if Zhang Lun did not fight back, it would really make people underestimate their British government.
But as long as there is a chance, Zhang Lun doesn't want to make a big fuss over his grandfather's funeral.
So when Li Huan spoke, Zhang Lun nodded gratefully to Li Huan.
Li Huan smiled at Zhang Lun, and looked at the two brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling.
At this time, the two brothers looked at Li Huan quite annoyed, and shouted at Li Huan with some confidence: "Li Huan, this is a matter between our brothers and the British government, and it has nothing to do with Li Huan. It's better not to meddle in other people's business, others are afraid of you, but our brothers are not afraid of you."
Anyone who is not a fool can tell that the two brothers don't want to offend Li Huan. Otherwise, with their temperament, how could they talk to Li Huan properly? Why don't they beat Li Huan and the British government together? .
Hearing this, Li Huan couldn't help laughing and said: "Really, if you say that, then Li will really take care of today's affairs!"
Brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling had suffered so much at the hands of Li Huan back then. It would be strange if they didn't hate Li Huan, but they also had a fear of Li Huan.
Who told Li Huan to strike too hard, I still have lingering fears thinking about it.
I thought that Li Huan might give them face by not interfering in their affairs with the British government, but Li Huan didn't give them face at all.
Now the two felt Zhang Lun's situation and feelings just now, and they were also held back.
For Li Huan, they really don't have much confidence, but just now they uttered big words, if Li Huan suppressed this disheartened person, in front of so many people, what face do their brothers have? .
Li Huan was condescending, watching with great interest the faces of brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling changing expressions like a dyeing workshop.
Seeing Zhang Lun now, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, and said to Li Huan in a low voice: "Lord Li, I didn't expect to bring you such trouble. It's not as good as you, my lord..."
Apparently Zhang Lun didn't want to cause trouble for Li Huan seeing the attitude of Shouninghou and Jianchanghou who refused to give up.
Before Zhang Lun finished speaking, Li Huan shook his head slightly, and the conversation between Li Huan and Zhang Lun was naturally heard by Jianchanghou and Shouninghou.
The two were delighted to see Zhang Lun persuade Li Huan, but when they heard that Li Huan refused to give up, they immediately became angry.
Zhang Heling couldn't help but said to Li Huan angrily: "Okay, okay, Li Huan, don't think that your majesty pampers you, so you can do whatever you want."
Li Huan sneered and said: "If you want to say that it is the two Marquis who act recklessly, the Queen Mother asked you to come to mourn the old Duke, not to make you make trouble here. The two of you will not think that what happened today If you make trouble with the queen mother, the queen mother will also protect you."
Zhang Yanling didn't even think about it and said: "The queen mother loves our brothers the most, you don't need to use the queen mother to suppress our brothers, you should think about how to explain to the queen mother."
Speaking of which, Zhang Yanling's face was full of anger, and he cast his eyes on Zhang Lun, and shouted: "Zhang Lun, you actually connive at your servants beating Ben Houye, today's business is endless..."
Zhang Heling yelled at those ugly servants: "Give me a group of useless things, and kill the old thing who dares to beat me. Today, I have Lord Ben here, even if he Li Huan What can I do?"
Seeing Zhang Heling's murderous face, several servants were worried. Their fear of Zhang Heling overwhelmed their fear of Li Huan. One by one, they picked up the sticks and daggers that fell on the ground, and their eyes fell on on the old butler next to Zhang Lun.
Li Huan's face turned cold. Today's matter is based on the fault of Jianchanghou and Shouninghou. Although the old housekeeper of the British government made a move, but in that situation, the other party did not beat the Zhang brothers. To die is to take into account the face of the emperor and the empress dowager, otherwise, no one would say that there is anything wrong with the British government if someone is changed, even if it is an important court official who is beaten to death on the spot.
Originally, Li Huan didn't want to make a big fuss about today's grand ceremony in the British government. He only hoped that the brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling could restrain their tempers.
"Come on!"
After Li Huan finished speaking, he saw a team of Jinyiwei captains come out.
When Li Huan travels, he usually brings Jin Yiwei with him. Most of these Jin Yiwei usually follow in the dark. Now that Li Huan called out, a team of Jin Yiwei saluted Li Huan.
When many people saw the figure of Jin Yiwei appearing, they couldn't help showing a bit of fear in their eyes.
In the past few days, Tiqi has been everywhere in Beijing, and I don't know how many officials have been tortured by the people of Jinyiwei. For the people of Jinyiwei, some people have a psychological shadow in their hearts.
"Take the Marquis of Jianchang and Marquis of Shouning for me!"
The two brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling were sure that Li Huan would not dare to do anything to them. This time it was their conflict with the British government, and they had no enmity with Li Huan. There is no good reason.
That's why the two brothers are so unscrupulous.
But what they didn't expect was that Li Huan actually dared to let Jin Yiwei take them.
Those guards in Jinyi never compromised on Li Huan's orders. After listening to Li Huan's orders, they immediately walked towards Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling brothers.
Brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling couldn't help panicking when they saw this situation, especially when those Jinyi guards slapped their evil servants to the ground with Xiuchun knives, and at the same time several Jinyi guards walked towards them.
"Li Huan, Li Huan, you are so courageous, our brother did not make a mistake, you can't treat us like this..."
"We want to see the queen mother, the queen mother will not let you go!"
The two yelled at Li Huan while dodging Jin Yiwei, but it's a pity that the two of them could be Jin Yiwei's opponents, and they were locked up by Jin Yiwei in the blink of an eye.
"Let go of Master Ben, you guys are so courageous, let go quickly..."
"Li Huan, we brothers will never end with you!"
Li Huan waved his hand and snorted coldly: "Put them all in prison for me!"
A group of guards in Jinyi responded immediately, and escorted Zhang Yanling, Zhang Heling and others away.
Brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling, with panicked faces, struggled and shouted at Li Huan: "Li Huan, you can't do this, you can't treat us like this...we want to see the Queen Mother, we want to see the Queen Mother..."
It's a pity that Li Huan acted as if he didn't hear their cries, and soon Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling brothers and their evil servants were taken away, and the yelling and shouting of the two brothers gradually faded away.
It was quiet all around, and all the officials looked at Li Huan in disbelief.
We all know that Li Huan is daring. It seems that there is no one he dare not offend, arrest, or kill. I didn't expect that today, Jianchanghou and Shouninghou, who are like plasters, would dare to offend and even kill each other. If you are caught in prison, you are really not afraid of offending the Queen Mother.
Even the British Duke Zhang Lun looked dull at the moment. Li Huan smiled at Zhang Lun and said, "British Duke, go home. The old Duke's funeral is the most important."
Zhang Lun took a deep look, then bowed deeply to Li Huan and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for rescuing our British government. Today's feelings will definitely be remembered by everyone in the British government."
Li Huan didn't care how much the news of Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling was shocked by the fact that he sent people to capture Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling, he said goodbye to Zhang Lun, and left the British government together with Qiu Ju.
Qiu Ju looked at Li Huan with a worried look on his face and said, "Brother Li, you really want to send the Zhang family brothers to prison."
Li Huan glanced at Qiu Ju and said, "That's right, I said that in front of so many people, can I still say nothing and let them go after a formality?"
Qiu Ju really thought that Li Huan was just going through the motions, in order to get rid of Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, the difficult pair of brothers, so that they would not continue to disturb Zhang Mao's funeral.
But looking at Li Huan's posture now, it is true that those two brothers are going to be thrown into prison, if the Queen Mother knows about it.
Thinking of this, Qiu Ju couldn't help shivering. He couldn't help thinking that when Emperor Xiaozong was Emperor Xiaozong, a chief prisoner was ordered to be beaten to death by the Queen Mother for reporting that the two brothers secretly wore the emperor's crown. He glanced at Li Huan with a worried look on his face.
Taking a deep breath, Qiu Ju said: "Brother Li, quickly follow me to see Your Majesty, when the time comes the Queen Mother will be furious, with Your Majesty here, I can keep you safe, brother."
Li Huan did not refuse. If it was just to arrest two Lords, Li Huan was really not afraid. Let alone arresting two Lords, even if there were more, there was nothing to worry about. The key is to be caught The status of the Zhang family brothers is so special that even he had to go to the emperor to explain.
When Li Huan and Qiu Ju rushed to meet the emperor, someone had already informed the people in Shouninghou and Jianchanghou's mansions that Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling had been arrested by Li Huan and put into imperial prison.
It is conceivable that upon receiving this news, the two families immediately exploded. Mrs. Jianchang Hou and Mrs. Shouning Hou directly changed their costumes and rushed to the palace.
Yongfu Palace
The empress dowager's bedroom is where the emperor woke up, and the empress dowager Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. She rested in the palace for the past two days to relax her mind.
That day, Empress Dowager Zhang was sitting there, listening to the eunuch next to her tell her what happened at the Great Court Meeting not long ago, and learned that dozens of officials were arrested at once, she couldn't help but relieve her anger and said: "Good arrest, They even dare to murder the emperor, and they will all have their families confiscated and exterminated."
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Zhang's heart moved and she said: "This Li Huan is really loyal. It is thanks to him that the emperor was able to wake up this time, but his temper is too straightforward, even the palace dares to confront me."
The eunuch smiled and said: "Then Li Huan is indeed a bit bold, that is to say, you are generous and generous, and you don't have the same knowledge as him."
