Chapter 197 This... This is actually a counter-book! 【order】

Li Huan naturally understood the meaning of Zhu Houzhao's words. How could he not know why Xungui is so enthusiastic now? In the camp, Xungui's children must go through his relationship if they want to enter the military tent.

But once Li Huan touches the interests of these nobles, how the nobles who came to hug his thigh today will react is another matter.

Maybe people with long-sightedness will stand by his side and choose to support him as always, but there must be people with short-sightedness who only focus on immediate interests and oppose him.

However, Li Huan really didn't pay too much attention to these things. He had always fought alone, and never thought of using external forces.

As long as the emperor trusts him as always, even without any help, he is sure to carve out a piece of world in this Great Ming Dynasty Hall.

As the saying goes, Li Huan only believes in himself. As long as he is strong enough, there is nothing he cannot do. Mind a few more helpers, if they can't be used, Li Huan will not accommodate these people because of the so-called affection.

If you have to kill, kill him. If you are more sensible, don't trouble him, and don't ruin his business. Li Huan is not interested in making trouble for the other party, but if you don't know how, then don't blame him for killing him. What is the so-called in-law relationship.

This thing is naturally useful when the interests are consistent, but when the interests are contrary, how many people will take it as the same thing.

Li Huan glanced at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, I just have something to report to Your Majesty. Now that Your Majesty is here, I just don't have to go to the palace to see Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help looking at Li Huan curiously after hearing the words, "Oh, what's the matter with Li Qing?"

Li Huan's expression turned straight, and his eyes swept over the little servants beside the emperor. Qiu Ju and Gao Feng immediately understood what Li Huan meant.
He waved his hand to signal the servants to retreat, and soon Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao, Gao Feng, and Qiu Ju were left.

Li Huan looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, I was ordered to supervise the case of treason. After some interrogation, almost everyone who should be arrested has been arrested. But not long ago, someone couldn't help but tortured and entertained the reason for plotting to assassinate His Majesty." Planned by one person..."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help raising his brows when he heard the words, a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and said angrily: "How courageous, who is it, I want to live in his nine clans!"

Zhu Houzhao's reaction was within Li Huan's expectation. It would be a strange thing if Zhu Houzhao didn't react like this.

That's why Li Huan looked at Zhu Houzhao calmly and said slowly, "Old Qiange, Xie Qian."

"what!"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard the words, the names of many people flashed in Zhu Houzhao's mind, he even thought about some princes in the clan who were far away in the fiefdom, but he never thought that it would be a few years ago. Former cabinet boss Xie Qian who was dismissed from office.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly frowned and said, "How could it be him? He is an important minister of the former emperor Tuogu. How could he want to be unfavorable to me? What is he doing?"

Although Zhu Houzhao looked puzzled and annoyed, Zhu Houzhao had no doubts about Li Huan's words.

It was impossible for Li Huan to lie to him on this matter, but Zhu Houzhao couldn't figure out why Xie Qian would be unfavorable to him, the emperor.

Speaking of which, Xie Qian can be regarded as half of the emperor's teacher. When Zhu Houzhao was still the prince, he also listened to Xie Qian's teachings.

Although Zhu Houzhao dismissed Xie Qian in the end, in Zhu Houzhao's view, Xie Qian would not murder him because of this.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's reaction in his eyes, Li Huan sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty misses the old love, but Xie Qian may not think about the love between the monarch and his ministers."

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, with a faint murderous intent flashing in his eyes, he looked at Li Huan with some puzzlement and said, "Li Qing, why did Xie Qian want to murder me? what?"

Li Huan could more or less guess why Xie Qian would be unfavorable to the emperor. Hearing this, he sneered and said, "Your Majesty, don't forget, where is Xie Ge's hometown?"

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback, and subconsciously said: "If I remember correctly, Xie Qian's hometown should be in Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang."

Li Huan nodded and said: "It is the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is a land of fish and rice. The handicraft industry is even more developed and extremely rich."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, even so, he still didn't quite understand.

And Li Huan sneered and said: "According to my knowledge, the old Xie Ge family occupies an area of ​​10,000+ mu in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with many mountains, forests and mines, and dozens of shops. It is just that Mr. Liu's implementation of the new policy deliberately targets the old Xie Ge family. ..."

With a bang, Zhu Houzhao slapped the table with a slap, his eyes full of surprise.

"So that's what it is, that's how it is. I understand that the feeling is that the emperor has touched his Xie Qian's interests."

Zhu Houzhao understood in an instant why Xie Qian planned to target him, the emperor, because it was so easy for him, the emperor, to implement the New Deal with the help of Liu Jin.

Others may not be able to see what Liu Jin's New Deal is all about, but Xie Qian is such a character, with so many years of ups and downs in his career, how can he not see that Liu Jin's implementation of the New Deal is entirely driven by him, the emperor.

It can be said that Liu Jin's New Deal is simply the implementation of the emperor's own administration with the help of Liu Jin.

Li Huan said indifferently: "For Mr. Xie Ge, His Majesty has hurt Mr. Xie Ge's interests. In addition, His Majesty's trusted ministers and Eunuch Liu were deposed by him. Under the new and old hatred, Xie Qian gave birth to the idea of ​​murdering His Majesty." Isn't it normal to think about it?"

Having said that, in fact, both Li Huan and Zhu Houzhao knew in their hearts that the real reason why Xie Qian chose to kill the emperor was the New Deal implemented by the emperor with the help of Liu Jin.

It was also that the New Deal touched the interests of a large number of people, so Xie Qian easily won over important ministers such as Fei Hong, Mao Ji, Liang Chu, and Liu Zhong in private.

With the implementation of the New Deal, the most seriously damaged interests are those families with countless fields and industries in the local area. Under the implementation of the New Deal, the countless fertile land that these families plundered by ingenuity has been investigated, and many mines have been forcibly collected by tax collectors. Even shops are charged a commercial tax.

The other small gentry are fine, the key ones are Fei Hong, Xie Qian, Mao Ji, Liang Chu and others who are at odds with Liu Jin in the imperial court.

Liu Jin can't do anything to these people in the imperial court, but it's not easy to stop Liu Jin. With the banner of the New Deal, he directly ordered people to liquidate Fei Hong's and Xie Qian's properties and fields crazily.

Under such circumstances, being targeted by Liu Jin, the losses of each family will naturally be great. Naturally, when someone secretly joins forces, a loose alliance against the emperor and Liu Jin will appear.

Zhu Houzhao's face was cold. He never imagined that Xie Qian, a veteran court official and a former important minister who had a half-teacher friendship with him, would have murderous intentions against him, the emperor.

"Xie Qian, I'm going to kill his nine clans."

I could only hear Zhu Houzhao gnashing his teeth, full of endless disappointment and murderous words, spit out word by word from the mouth of the emperor.

An honest person getting angry is the most terrible thing. Zhu Houzhao has a mellow temper and is the most affectionate. Xie Qian is not only a veteran of several dynasties, but also an important minister of the late Emperor Hongzhi. Even though Xie Qian took the lead in opposing him, the emperor, he just dismissed him , to return him to his hometown.

While speaking, Zhu Hou looked at Li Huan, and said angrily, "Who else is there? I don't believe that Xie Qian alone dared to do such a bold thing. There must be someone colluding with him, and this person It is very likely that they are members of the royal family..."

When he said this, Zhu Houzhao's expression was cold, and he walked before the gate of hell. Zhu Houzhao has matured a lot and is completely a qualified emperor.

So when he learned that Xie Qian was secretly taking the lead in murdering him, Zhu Houzhao already realized that there must be someone behind Xie Qian.

He, the son of heaven, had no brothers or heirs, and if he died suddenly, all the court officials would inevitably support a new emperor from the clan.

If someone in the clan covets the throne, if they hook up with veteran ministers like Xie Qian who are protégés and old officials all over the government and the public, and take a risky gamble, everything can be explained.

Li Huan shook his head and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, Mao Ji just explained that it was Xie Qian who sent someone to contact him. As for more, Mao Ji doesn't know."

Zhu Houzhao was not surprised by this. If the man in the dark could be found so easily, he would have been discovered long ago.

Zhu Houzhao sneered and said, "Mao Ji doesn't know, so I will arrest Xie Qian. Xie Qian always knows who is coveting the throne."

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Qiu Ju and Gao Feng stood with their heads down, looking down at the ground, not daring to speak.

This has already involved treason, and some people even set their eyes on the emperor's throne under the emperor's ass. This kind of heinous disaster, even if the idle people get a little bit involved, it will destroy the nine clans.

After walking back and forth a few steps, Zhu Houzhao, who was full of murderous intent between his brows, suddenly looked at Li Huan, and said solemnly: "Li Qing, Li Qing, you are the only one I can trust, This matter is of great importance, and only if you personally go to Yuyao, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, Li Qing, can I rest assured."

Even Xie Qian and other important ministers who were in charge of Gu Gu had murderous intentions towards him, the emperor. Zhu Houzhao only felt that looking at the court, except for Li Huan, he seemed to have no one who could be completely relieved.

Li Huan got up immediately when he heard the words, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely take Xie Qian and find out who is colluding with Xie Qian."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, a smile finally appeared on his tense face.

Reaching out to pat Li Huan on the shoulder, Zhu Houzhao nodded slowly and said, "I knew Li Qing would not let me down."

Zhu Houzhao said in a flat tone: "I promise Li Qingyou the right to behead first and then play. I will go to Shaoxing Mansion to arrest Xie Qian. No matter who dares to obstruct, I will kill without mercy."

For some reason, Zhu Houzhao felt that it would not be so smooth for Li Huan to capture Xie Qian.

Li Huan said with a smile: "The minister will lead people to set off overnight. With the Grand Canal in place, with the journey day and night, at most you can reach Shaoxing Mansion in Zhejiang Province in a few days. Your Majesty is in Beijing, waiting for the good news from you."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded, "It's just that Li Qing has to work hard again."

Li Huan shook his head and said: "It is the duty of a minister to share the worries of His Majesty."

As Li Huan said that, his heart moved, he took out a Jinyiwei secret letter and presented it to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty, this is the news from Du Guang, a hundred households of Jinyiwei who was sent to Qianshan County to copy the Fei family of Qianshan."

Zhu Hou looked at the details about the confiscated Qianshan Fei in the secret letter, and his complexion gradually became ugly, especially when he finally saw that the confiscated cash alone amounted to more than 200 million taels. Then he couldn't help but said angrily: "Okay, okay, this is my loyal minister of Ming Dynasty, I would like to ask him Fei Hong, where did his Fei family get so much wealth!"

Li Huan coughed lightly and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, it's not worth being angry for such people who harm the country and the people. What I want to talk about is the confiscated money. Du Guang has personally led Jin Yiwei to escort him to Beijing."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, while Li Huan looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Qianshan Fei's confiscation of such a large sum of money must not be hidden from the court officials. A penny..."

Before Li Huan could finish speaking, Zhu Houzhao shouted immediately: "None of them should think about this sum of money. I will leave this money to Li Qing and you to use to rectify the Beijing camp."

Zhu Houzhao sneered and said, "If it really goes into the national treasury, I'm really worried about how much money will be left after the money passes through their hands."

What Li Huan was worried about was that Zhu Houzhao was fooled by hundreds of officials, and ended up filling the confiscated money into the treasury. Now hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Li Huan smiled and said: "Your Majesty said so, I can rest assured."

When Zhu Houzhao heard the words, he was taken aback for a moment, then realized, looked at Li Huan and said, "It turns out that Li Qing, you are afraid that I will listen to the words of the officials and put money into the treasury."

Li Huan said with a smile: "Now I know His Majesty's attitude, so I don't have to worry about it."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help shaking his head and said with a smile: "Li Qing, you really think that I don't know that it's not so easy to take out the money after it comes into the treasury, so it's better to put it in the internal treasury, so that I can take it out at any time to rectify Beijing. camp."

Li Huan said solemnly: "The minister will order Du Guang and others to send these silver coins to His Majesty's internal treasury, and it will be good for His Majesty to arrange a handover with them at that time."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "I will send Gu Daban to supervise this matter personally, so that no one else will be allowed to intervene."

Neither Li Huan nor Zhu Houzhao could believe the members of the Civil Service Group. If the members of the Civil Service Group were really allowed to intervene, the money might not be in the internal treasury, but would be taken to the national treasury. .

While speaking, a young eunuch came running over and said to Li Huan: "Great Governor, Old Wang Yangming is asking to see you."

Li Huan raised his brows, with a look of doubt on his face, and subconsciously glanced at Zhu Houzhao, while Zhu Houzhao smiled at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing doesn't need to look at me, I will see you when I want to, Wang Aiqing will come if you want to come." If you are looking for Li Qing, there must be something wrong."

Li Huan was not worried that Zhu Houzhao would feel jealous because of his friendship with Wang Yangming, so he nodded.

Soon Wang Yangming strode into Li's residence. When Wang Yangming saw Zhu Houzhao, he couldn't help being stunned. He reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to Zhu Houzhao and said: "My minister, Wang Yangming, pays homage to His Majesty and the Taifu."

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and said: "Aiqing is free from courtesy. In this Li residence, I am also a guest, so Wang Aiqing does not need to be formal."

Li Huan looked at Wang Yangming and said, "Mr. Yangming came to look for Mr. Li for something?"

Wang Yangming looked upright and said: "Wang came here to tell the Tai Tu something."

Li Huan looked at Wang Yangming, and he heard Wang Yangming say: "The two old elders already know that Jin Yiwei has confiscated the news that the Fei family in Qianshan has obtained millions of taels of silver. Elder Yang is going to ask His Majesty for permission to put it into the treasury." .”

Li Huan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and glanced at Zhu Houzhao, who smiled at Li Huan.

Suddenly Zhu Houzhao turned to Wang Yangming and said, "Wang Aiqing, in your opinion, what should we do with the money?"

Wang Yangming was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at Li Huan, then at Zhu Houzhao, Wang Yangming pondered for a while and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I think the confiscated money should be put into the internal treasury."

Li Huan couldn't help but looked at Wang Yangming in surprise, because Li Huan knew Wang Yangming well, Wang Yangming was not the kind of flatterer.

If he had that flattering temperament, he would not have achieved such a high achievement and become a generation of sages. Normally speaking, in Wang Yangming's position, Wang Yangming would definitely insist on filling the confiscated money into the treasury.

Seeing the astonishment on Li Huan's face, Wang Yangming smiled lightly and said, "If Wang did not miscalculate, these moneys are related to the reorganization of the Beijing camp. Only then does he have enough confidence, but once this sum of money enters the national treasury, it would be unthinkable for all the officials to use it to reorganize the Beijing camp, so I think that these money can only be temporarily put into the treasury of His Majesty. , Only in this way can the usefulness of this sum of money be brought into full play.”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but glanced at Wang Yangming appreciatively and said, "Okay, Wang Aiqing is so considerate and considerate of the overall situation, I'm so relieved."

Li Huan cupped his hands at Wang Yangming and said, "Mr. Yangming has a heart."

To be honest, Li Huan really didn't expect that Wang Yangming would see through his idea of ​​using the confiscated money to reorganize the Beijing camp.

However, Wang Yangming got along with Li Huan for a while, and he knew how much money Li Huan got from the several raids on his home, and considering Li Huan's commotion in the capital camp, he guessed that Li Huan might be choices that will be made.

If it were someone else, even Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the others would never realize this.

It is unclear how much money Li Huan confiscated in Fuzhou, and the civil and military officials naturally did not expect that Li Huan had enough money to solve the problem of the Beijing camp.

After all, the problem of the Beijing camp has not been resolved for decades. The biggest problem is that the court has no money. I dare not say that the problem is solved, at least it is no longer an unsolvable problem.

Watching Wang Yangming leave, Zhu Houzhao suddenly said: "I was worried that Wang Aiqing would be influenced by the officials when she entered the cabinet, but now it seems that Wang Aiqing is still credible."

Li Huan smiled, Wang Yangming was full of talent and learning, especially his well-developed mind learning, which emphasized the unity of knowledge and action, which was reflected in Wang Yangming's style in the officialdom, that is, to do things in a down-to-earth manner.

As long as it is beneficial to the court, Wang Yangming is not a person who does not know how to adapt.

However, Li Huan also knew that if the two of them disagreed on a certain matter in the future, with Wang Yangming's temperament, he would definitely not back down.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Wang Yangming has a strong imprint of the Li Party, and many officials even think that Wang Yangming is Li Huan's spokesperson in the cabinet.

I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven has this kind of idea in his heart, but only Li Huan knows that Wang Yangming has his own ideas, and he can't be anyone's spokesperson.

Take today's events as an example, if Wang Yangming hadn't guessed what Li Huan was going to do with the money, I'm afraid Wang Yangming would have stood by Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang and insisted on filling the money into the treasury.

After sending the emperor back to the palace, Li Huan went directly towards the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Yumajian is Gu Dayong's site, when Gu Dayong learned that Li Huan was coming, Dang even put down the affairs in his hand and greeted him.

From a distance, Gu Dayong could be heard laughing and saying: "Brother Li, this is a noble man, I don't see you looking for our house on weekdays, but today you are here, my little horse guard is full of splendor. "

There are not many people who can be treated like this by Gu Dayong. Looking around the world, there is probably no one other than Li Huan.

Li Huan said with a smile: "Brother Gu was joking, I'm here today, I'm so disturbed, please forgive me, Brother Gu."

Welcoming Li Huan into the Imperial Horse Prison, Gu Dayong looked at Li Huan curiously and said, "Brother Li will go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. He must have something to do when he came to see our house today."

Li Huan laughed loudly and said, "I know I can't hide it from Brother Gu."

As he said that, Li Huan's expression turned serious and he said: "I also ask Brother Gu to send a thousand elites from the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp to me."

Gu Dayong couldn't help being stunned, and subconsciously said: "Brother Li has His Majesty's will."

Gu Dayong said with embarrassment: "It's not that our family doesn't believe in Brother Li, but that Brother Li recruited thousands of people at once. If there is no order from His Majesty, our family will lose their heads."

Li Huan smiled and said: "If there is no order from His Majesty, Li would not dare to come to find Brother Gu."

As he spoke, Li Huan took out a handwritten letter written by the emperor from his cuff and handed it to Gu Dayong.

Although it was not a formal decree, the Tengxiang Four Guards were originally the emperor's forbidden army, and the mobilization was not as troublesome as the Beijing camp's soldiers and horses.

As the emperor's own army, the Tengxiang Four Guards Battalion only needs the emperor's will if they want to mobilize.

As a result, the troops of the Tengxiang Four Guards Battalion are particularly important. They have always been run by the most trusted people of the emperor.

Gu Dayong took a look at the will from the emperor's handwritten letter, and was sure it was the emperor's will. He breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't ask Li Huan what he was going to do with the thousands of people. He just nodded at Li Huan and said: " Don't worry, Brother Li, I'll order someone to send out a thousand elites for you, ready to be dispatched by you at any time."

Hearing this, Li Huan clasped his fists at Gu Day and smiled, "Thank you so much."

As night fell, the Jinyiwei yamen was brightly lit. In front of Li Huan stood Chen Ke, Zhao Yi, Meng Hui, Chen Yao, Feng Yongguo, Lin Pingzhi and others.

Li Huan looked at Chen Ke and Feng Yongguo and said: "Chen Ke, Feng Yongguo, you two stay and sit in Jinyiwei Yamen, and the rest follow me to Shaoxing Mansion in Zhejiang."

Lin Pingzhi's face was full of excitement, and now he was considered as the powerful official of one hundred families of Jinyiwei, and his subordinates had just taken charge of the hundreds of Jinyiwei school lieutenants, which was naturally quite exciting for Lin Pingzhi, who was only twenty years old.

Especially this time when he heard Li Huan said that he would take someone to search his house, Lin Pingzhi was full of anticipation for this trip.

That was ransacking the house. He had heard of it when he was in Fuzhou, but he had never actually led anyone to ransack the house.

Meng Hui, Chen Yao, Zhao Yi and others were all shocked, like Lin Pingzhi, extremely excited.

Soon Li Huan took three hundred elite guards in brocade clothes and quietly left the capital under the cover of night.

Although it is said that Li Huan set off in the evening, with so many people in Jinyiwei leaving the capital, it is impossible to hide it, not to mention how many people are watching Li Huan's every move. Taking people out of Beijing, I don't know how many people got the news almost immediately.

In Maoyan Lane, Yang Tinghe looked at Li Huan's mansion with a complicated expression. Just now, he came to look for Li Huan, but was told that Li Huan was not in the mansion.

This made Yang Tinghe a little disappointed, originally planned to go to Jinyiwei Yamen to look for Li Huan, but after thinking about it, Yang Tinghe went back directly to the residence.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw the housekeeper hurriedly said: "Master, you are back. Not long ago, you asked me to send someone to watch Li Huan's actions. There will be news."

Yang Tinghe couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words, he glanced at the butler and said, "Quickly tell me, what is the news?"

The housekeeper showed some doubts in his expression and said: "The people we sent saw Li Huan and a few hundred Jinyiwei captains leaving the capital in the dark, and they didn't know what they were doing!"

"What? Li Huan took people out of Beijing?"

Yang Tinghe frowned, his thoughts turned, and he secretly guessed why Li Huan took people away from Beijing at this time.

All of a sudden, Yang Tinghe's face showed a bit of bewilderment and said: "Could it be that Li Huan is going to meet the confiscated money that Jin Yiwei escorted to Beijing?"

Such an idea came into his mind, the more Yang Tinghe thought about it, the more he felt that he had guessed right.

Immediately he sighed softly, if Li Huan really brought someone to accept the money, then it would be difficult for him to insist on putting it into the national treasury.

After all, you can tell how much Li Huan attaches importance to this sum of money just by seeing that Li Huan personally went to meet the escorted money. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Li Huan could agree to put it into the national treasury. .

Not to mention that Li Huan led people away from the capital in the dark, causing many people to secretly speculate on Li Huan's purpose for leaving the capital.

However, since Xie Qian returned to Xie Yuan, he gave lectures in Muzhai Academy for several days, which suddenly attracted many scholars from the south of the Yangtze River.

On this day, Xie Qian was hosting a banquet in the Xie Garden for several scholars who came from Suzhou and Hangzhou to meet him.

Su Kui, Xi Zhen, Shao Zhiyong, and Qi Wenyu, if these people were mentioned a few years ago, few people would know about them, but now these people are well-known scholars.

Of course, compared to those scholastic celebrities who rely on their talents and qualifications, the reputations of Su Kui and Xi Zhen have something to say.

Almost a year ago, because of Liu Jin, a large number of tax collectors were sent to the south of the Yangtze River, especially the famous Suzhou and Hangzhou.

According to Liu Jin's instructions, these tax collectors collected taxes from the local gentry and wealthy families wantonly when they arrived in the local area. Whether it was mines, fields or shops, they were all targeted by these tax collectors and forced the local gentry and wealthy families to pay taxes.

The gentry and wealthy families in Suzhou and Hangzhou were naturally unwilling to hand over any copper coins in their hands, but facing the tax collectors sent by Liu Jin, these gentry had no choice.

But at this time, Su Kui, who is a juren, called out, and immediately Xi Zhen, Shao Zhiyong, Qi Wenyu and other literati responded. Several tax collectors sent by Liu Jin dragged him out of the yamen, and beat him to death in front of many Suzhou people.

The news spread quickly, and Su Kui, Xi Zhen, Shao Zhiyong, Qi Wenyu and others became famous all over the world, and were regarded by countless scholars as models who dared to resist the eunuch Liu Jin.

Especially after Su Kui and others killed the tax collectors sent by Liu Jin, but Liu Jin failed to take them down. famous person.

In the eyes of Su Kui and others, Xie Qian, the former court elder, is their predecessor. What's more, Xie Qian was deposed by the emperor in order to resist Liu Jin and the emperor's favor and trust in the treacherous villain Li Huan. It is the same action for the common people to stand up and kill the tax collectors sent by Liu Jin.

So Su Kui and others wanted to visit Xie Qian after they became famous, but it was a pity that they came a few months ago. When they arrived at Shaoxing Mansion, Xie Qian happened to be not in Xie Yuan. Of course, Xie Qian couldn't be seen.

However, although Xie Qian has not been seen, they are well-known. No matter where they go, as long as they tell the glorious past of besieging and killing tax collectors, they will definitely attract the respect of scholars.

Therefore, it can be said that these few people lived a happy life in Shaoxing Mansion these days. Under the praise of countless people, the reputation of Su Kui and the others became more and more resounding in Shaoxing Mansion.

When several people learned that Xie Qian opened the door to give lectures, they rushed to see Xie Qian.

Xie Qian naturally knew the names of Su Kui and the others. When he learned that Su Kui and the others had come to visit him, Xie Qian naturally welcomed them into the Xie Garden to entertain them.

At this moment, Su Kui, who is about [-] years old, has a red face and a slightly fat body. At this moment, he is impassioned and said to Xie Qian: "Students really feel dissatisfied with the old man. His Majesty even indulged Liu Jin, Li Huan and other treacherous villains and stayed away from the pavilion. Such a loyal and virtuous minister, this is not the work of Mingjun!"

Xie Qian coughed lightly and said, "Ming Guang is cautious, Your Majesty is just being deceived by villains like Li Huan and Liu Jin."

Su Kui's name is Mingguang, so Xie Qian called Su Kui Mingguang.

Su Kui said with a smile: "Mr. Ge is just too careful. Besides, I'm just expressing my heart. Could it be that Your Majesty has done something that I can't say?"

As he said that, Su Kui said to his companions: "Daya, Mingkun, do you guys think this makes sense?"

Xi Zhenxi Daya, Shao Zhiyong and Ming Kun.

Several people were dressed in green clothes, all of them had fat heads and big ears, and their faces were full of red. One could tell at a glance that they absolutely ate well on weekdays, otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to look like this.

Xi Zhen laughed when he heard the words: "Brother Mingguang's words are true. Elder Ge is too soft. That's why he was bullied by treacherous villains like Li Huan and Liu Jin. In my opinion, Elder Ge should rise up and lead All the scholars of the Imperial College beat Liu Jin and Li Huan to death."

Xie Qian frowned, smiled and shook his head and said: "Perhaps it is true as my friend said, the old man is getting old. As the saying goes, talented people come out from generation to generation. With the courage of a few friends, the future will definitely be a few friends. It's gone."

Hearing Xie Qian's praise for them, several people were overjoyed. Although they were famous scholars, they had never been praised by a real scholar like Xie Qian. If their words of praise and approval are spread, their reputation will be even greater, and more people will respect them.

And with such a great reputation, their family will also benefit from it. Apart from other things, if they use some means at that time, they may not be able to occupy some high-quality acres of land. Even the local government will not help them.

Thinking of the possibility that in the future they will also be like Xie Qian, with vast expanses of fertile land and gardens surrounded by beauties, they couldn't help showing joy on their faces.

Su Kui held back the excitement in his heart and cupped his hands to Xie Qian: "Ge Lao is absurd, how can my younger generation compare with Ge Lao."

Xie Qian stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "The old man said that if you are worthy, you are worthy. If you don't say anything else, you are just pleading for the people and killing the tax collector sent by the eunuch Liu Jin to bring disaster to the country and the people. You are well-deserved masters." celebrity."

At this moment, Xie Di walked over with a stack of brand new books that smelled of ink in his arms.

There are at least a dozen of these books, a thick stack.

Xie Di nodded at Su Kui and the others, put a stack of books in his arms in front of Xie Qian and said, "Brother, according to your instructions, these books have been printed into volumes, so why not take a look at them!"

Xie Qian's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he picked up the top volume. On the cover of the volume, several large characters were clearly visible.

"Chen Sheng's Supplements"

Needless to say, this is the title of this book. Xie Qian flipped through it, and gradually a smile appeared on Xie Qian's face, and he nodded in satisfaction.

Xie Di stood aside, seeing Xie Qian's reaction, he knew that Xie Qian must be extremely satisfied with the content recorded in the book.

Naturally, Xie Di has read the content. This is basically a short story described by the scholar Chen Mingsheng in the way of memories. Needless to say, the protagonist of the story is naturally Xie Qian. Huan and other big traitors were brave enough to fight against them. In the end, because the emperor was fatuous and favored villains, he was deposed miserably.

The story is not very long, but the scholar Chen Mingsheng has brilliantly portrayed Liu Jin and Li Huan as treacherous villains, lifelike, and even the emperor in this story is extremely stupid.

Xie Qian put this book aside, then picked up another book to read.

The title of this book is "Disaster for the Nation", and Xie Di is no stranger to the content of this book, which is also a short story.

However, the content of this short story did not point directly at Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao, and Xie Qian. Instead, it fabricated a dynasty in which the emperor favored young powerful officials and allowed them to harm loyal court officials, especially in the book. The emperor has the goodness of Longyang, and the relationship with that powerful minister is extremely ambiguous.

Although the story is fictitious, the person who described the story substituted Zhu Houzhao, Li Huan, Liu Jin, Xie Qian and others into it in a very clever way. As long as you are not a fool, you can immediately understand the emperor in it after reading this story. Who does it refer to, and who does the traitor refer to.

After reading it, Xie Qian couldn't help patting the book and applauding: "Okay, okay, such a good book should be published all over the world."

Seeing this, Su Kui and Xi Zhen couldn't help being curious, and their eyes fell on the books in front of Xie Qian.

Xie Qian noticed the gazes of several people, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Ming Guang, you all come and have a look, this is a book written by some scholars a few days ago, and I decided to help them publish it and distribute it to the world."

As he spoke, he handed a few books to Su Kui and the others.

Su Kui and the others took the book, and when they looked through it seriously, strange expressions soon appeared on their faces.

Based on their knowledge, how can they not see that the stories in these books all have a common core, that is, praising Xie Qian as a loyal man of the generation, while the emperor is fatuous, and Liu Jin and Li Huan are the ones that everyone gets and punishes. The big treacherous minister.

Looking at these books, Su Kui felt a faint urge to write a book himself. This book does not record anything else, but records how Su Kui worried about the country and the people, how wise and brave, how he was not afraid of power eunuchs. , Denggao called for people to beat the tax collector to death on the spot.

He, Su Kui, also wants to leave his name in history and pass it on to future generations.

Seeing the expressions and reactions of Su Kui and the others, Xie Qian naturally couldn't guess that just because of seeing these books, Su Kui actually had the idea of ​​recording his own deeds and passing them on to future generations.

But Xie Qian looked at a few people and said with a smile: "Ming Guang, what do you guys think of these books and their stories?"

Su Kuidang immediately said: "Mr. Hui Muzhai, these stories are really good. They have deeply exposed the ugly faces of Li Huan and Liu Jin. If they can be published in the world, the people will definitely be able to realize their hatefulness."

Speaking of which, Su Kui said to Xie Qian: "I implore Mu Zhaigong to allow me to bring these books back to Suzhou and Hangzhou for publication, and pass them on to Suzhou and Hangzhou, so that the people of Suzhou and Hangzhou can more clearly understand the dangers of Li Huan and Liu Jin. .”

Hearing this, Xie Qian stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Okay, the old man agrees to this matter. I will give all these books to a few friends."

Su Kui, Xi Zhen and the others immediately bowed their hands to Xie Qian and said, "I have thanked Mr. Mu Zhai."

Xie Qian's eyes fell on Xie Di and said, "Can these books be published in the world?"

Xie Di nodded slightly and said: "It has been sent to various bookstores according to my brother's order, and it will definitely be spread around the world in a short time."

Xie Qian smiled and said, "That's very good."

As he said that, Xie Qian raised his wine glass to Su Kui and Xi Zhen and said, "Come on, friends, I respect you!"

At the same time, Shaoxing Prefecture, Yuyao County
The prosperity of Jiangnan is not as simple as talking about it, it is really prosperous.

In particular, the land in the south of the Yangtze River has been peaceful for a hundred years, and there has been no military disaster for a hundred years. It can be imagined that compared with the north, its prosperity is definitely one in the sky and the other in the ground.

It is not as simple as saying that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.

Although the land of Yuyao is not comparable to Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is also a famous and prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River.

On this day, a group of troops suddenly appeared outside Yuyao County, and directly broke into the city under the astonished eyes of the guards.

When they saw what these people were wearing, the soldiers who wanted to yell and curse shut their mouths one by one. Even if they were crazy, they didn't dare to provoke these Jin Yiwei.

The city gate officer guarding the gate looked at the group of Jinyiwei entering the city and couldn't help but muttered in a low voice with horror: "God, what's going on, why did the Jinyiwei suddenly appear here."

Needless to say, these were of course Jin Yiwei who came to Shaoxing Mansion together with Li Huan, but the leader was Zhao Yi, who had been promoted to the governor of Jin Yiwei Town.

Zhao Yi took dozens of guards in Jinyi and ran towards Xie's mansion in Yuyao County.

Based on Jin Yiwei's information, Li Huan naturally knew that Xie Qian was giving lectures at the edge of Xie Yuan outside Yuyao County. After all, Xie Qian's lectures caused such a big commotion. It is necessary to exist.

Zhao Yi galloped on his horse, his task was to control Xie's mansion and guard all the relatives of Xie's mansion.

Suddenly, a scholar by the side of the road was holding a book and shouted: "Okay, traitor Li Huan, you really deserve to be killed..."

The scholar was obviously fascinated by the book, and he didn't notice the movement behind him at all. He seemed to be excited and couldn't help but let out a loud cry.

As a result, his shout was clearly heard by Zhao Yi.

If it was something else, Zhao Yi, who had a mission on his body, would never pay attention to it, but the scholar shouted that Li Huan should be killed, so it was impossible for Zhao Yi to pretend that he didn't hear it.

With a sharp rein, the war horse could not help but neigh, and the horse's hooves were raised high, almost stepping directly on the scholar.

The neighing sound of the war horse directly startled the scholar, the book in his hand fell to the ground in fright, and he looked in horror at the face that suddenly approached him.

It turned out that at this moment Zhao Yi stiffly grabbed the scholar by the collar and lifted him in front of him.

Staring at the scholar, Zhao Yi snorted coldly and said, "Tell me, what did you say just now?"

The scholar didn't understand what was going on at the moment, and subconsciously said: "Xiaosheng...Xiaosheng was just reading a book, and when he saw the excitement, he shouted that Li Huan should be killed, this official, Xiaosheng..."

Zhao Yi's complexion changed, and he snorted coldly and said, "Where's the book?"

The scholar looked horrified, and subconsciously looked towards the ground. At this moment, a captain of Jinyiwei quickly stepped forward to pick up the book and handed it to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi threw the scholar on the ground violently, only throwing him all kinds of meat and vegetables, ignoring the scholar, Zhao Yi just looked through it.

Title of the book "Disaster"

Zhao Yi flipped through the ten lines at a glance, and soon his complexion became extremely gloomy. He couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "It's so bold that you dare to make a metaphor for the emperor. This is an anti-book..."

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Zhao Yi's eyes, staring at the scholar and said, "Who wrote this book, and where did it come from."

Stared at by Zhao Yi's murderous eyes, the scholar almost peed in fright, and said almost instinctively: "The book was written by Jia Chang, Mr. Muzhai asked someone to publish it, and it was sold by Xiejia Bookstore..."

Zhao Yi snorted coldly and said, "Where is the bookstore, take me there."

The scholar pointed to a bookshop not far away in horror and said, "That's Xie's Bookstore."

Zhao Yi got off his horse and strode into the bookstore. What caught his eye was a lot of books, among which were more than a dozen books that still smelled of ink, and one of them was titled Disaster for the country.

Zhao Yi saw at least dozens of books that harmed the country just by looking at them. Regardless of the reaction of the bookstore clerk, Zhao Yi stepped forward, picked up a book next to him, and looked through it. Soon, Zhao Yi's face became extremely ugly. .

One book after another, with a cup of tea, Zhao Yi looked at at least dozens of books, and finally found that a dozen of them should be books that he just read, and some of them were all about the insinuation of the emperor's incompetence and trust in the treacherous villain. , or it is to directly name and smear Li Huan, and portray Li Huan and Liu Jin as heinous people.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yi shouted: "Come here, seal up this bookstore for me."

In an instant, several captains in Jinyi stepped forward and arrested the bookstore owner and clerks.

On the other hand, Zhao Yi wrapped up the dozen or so books, summoned a small banner official and said, "Jiang Wu, you immediately take these books to the Commander, and say that Xie's family published and issued counter-books."

The little flag officer couldn't help shivering when he heard the words. He still knew what the back letter was. Looking at the package that Zhao Yi handed him, he felt that it was as heavy as Mount Tai, and immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord."

Zhao Yi rushed to Yuyao County first, while Li Huan headed towards Xie Garden on the outskirts of the city with some members of Jin Yiwei.

In comparison, Li Huan's speed was naturally a little slower, after all, Xie Yuan was located in a quiet place more than ten miles away from Yuyao County.

Li Huan was not in such a hurry at this time, so his speed slowed down a lot. Looking along the way, there were green mountains and green waters, and mountains and forests.

Lin Pingzhi, who was following Li Huan, saw the surrounding scenery and couldn't help admiring: "I didn't expect there to be such a treasured place of geomantic omen, so Xie Qian would really enjoy it. It is said that the Xie Garden he built here , no longer under those gardens in the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou."

A murderous intent flashed in Li Huan's eyes, and he said with a bit of sarcasm and disdain: "The residence and use are all the people's anointing, Xie Qian should be killed."

While talking, there was a rush of horseshoes behind him, and all the Jinyi guards subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife, but soon Chen Yao saw people coming: "It's Jiang Wu, my brother!"

Jiang Wu came on horseback. When he saw Li Huan and the others, he couldn't help showing joy in his eyes. He hurriedly reined in and got off the horse. Then he got off the horse and presented Li Huan with the package in both hands: "My lord, this is the town governor. My lord asked my subordinates to hand it over to you."
