Chapter 208 The Calm and Strange Hundred Officials 【Order】

Under Gu Dayong's urging, the soldiers of the Tengxiang Right Guard who had been rushing towards the pier moved a little faster.

On the long street, because there were soldiers who took the lead to clear the way, the team of Gu Dayong and others was rushing towards the pier at a very fast speed.

But Gu Dayong made such a big move, not only the common people could notice it, but some officials also noticed it.

It is really that the soldiers of Tengxiang Youwei are too obvious, which has attracted the attention of some officials.

Especially when the soldiers of Tengxiang Youwei left the barracks, it was fine, but what happened to the crucial carts.

In the past two days, the most lively rumor among the officials was the news that the millions of taels that had been confiscated were about to enter Beijing.

Many officials know that under Yang Tinghe's arrangement, the Ministry of Household Affairs is ready to receive the money, and once the money enters Beijing, it will be sent to the national treasury as soon as possible.

Even some of the officials were heading towards the pier at the moment, but seeing Gu Dayong and the soldiers from the Tengxiang Right Guard Camp heading towards the pier with so many carts, they had to Let these officials come up with ideas.

"Gu Dayong is not going to grab money, is he?"

If it was someone else, those officials might not think so. The key is that Gu Dayong's identity is there, so some officials can't help thinking about it.

As the head of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Gu Dayong is in charge of the internal treasury for the emperor, which means that Gu Dayong is the chief steward of the emperor's internal treasury.

The emperor was going to put those money into the internal treasury before. The news spread indiscriminately in the past two days, but Gu Dayong, the chief steward of the internal treasury, did not move at all, so many people subconsciously used Gu Dayong. ignored.

But at this moment, when they saw Gu Dayong with so many carts from the Tengxiang Right Guard Camp, these people just realized that Gu Dayong clearly wanted to take the money away with practical actions. .

This is doing important things without saying a word. When did the old eunuch Gu Dayong become so insidious.

Any fool can imagine that if the money fell into Gu Dayong's hands and was sent into the inner treasury by him, it would not be so easy for the emperor to take it out.

Back then, Emperor Xiaozong paid great attention to the preferential treatment of his courtiers, but every time he wanted to take money from the internal treasury to enrich the treasury, all the important ministers had to talk to Emperor Xiaozong for a long time.

Today's son is no more talkative than that Emperor Xiaozong. It is conceivable that if it is really going to fall into the inner treasury, then the court will also miss the money.

"Hurry up, you must tell the elders that Gu Dayong led people to the pier to grab the money."

Some officials reacted, and they didn't care about their manners, and they just got out of the way and got into the alley.

On the long street, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others were heading towards the pier, and Yang Tinghe was talking to Li Dongyang in a low voice.

Behind the few people, hundreds of officials and officials have gathered, so many people are so aggressive, even Jin Yiwei Tongzhi will be honest if he sees them.

At this moment, on the long street ahead, an official was running like crazy. It was the same official who had seen Gu Dayong leading people towards the pier earlier.

Chai Fang is a member of the Ministry of Industry, although his rank is not high, he is still an official among the six ministries. At this moment, Chai Fang is full of thoughts that he must inform the cabinet about Gu Dayong as soon as possible. .

Suddenly, when Chai Fang caught sight of the group of people in front of him, his eyes widened, and a look of surprise and surprise appeared on his face.

He was worried that even if he passed the news to the cabinet, it would be too late.

But he never thought that he would meet a few elders on this long street, especially behind the elders, there were many officials.

Just looking at this posture, Chai can't help but guess that the officials are so powerful. Could it be that they have already received the news that Gu Dayong led people to grab the money, and are they going to stop Gu Dayong?
Thinking of this, Chai Fang showed a bit of joy on his face. It is impossible for Gu Dayong to grab the money with several elders.

Among the officials, officials from the Ministry of Industry are naturally indispensable.

Then a doctor from the Ministry of Industry said in surprise: "Hey, isn't this Chai Fang? What's wrong with him, he ran wildly on the long street."

As an official, he still pays attention to his appearance on weekdays, so when he saw Chai Fang running wildly, some officials looked at Chai Fang.

Yang Tinghe glanced at Chai Fang and frowned slightly.

At this time, Chai Fang had already approached a group of people, he bowed his hands to Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and the others and said: "My lower official, Chai Fang, has met all the elders, all my lords."

Speaking of which, Chai Fang said with a bit of excitement: "My lords are going to prevent Gu Dayong from robbing money."

In fact, what Chai Fang said was more of a kind of excitement. He said it casually, and was about to walk into the line of officials behind Yang Tinghe and others and head to the pier together.

But when he said that, Yang Tinghe and the others couldn't help but change their expressions.

Especially Yang Tinghe paused, turned his eyes to Chai Fang and said in a deep voice: "Chai Fang, what are you talking about? What are you talking about, and why are you grabbing money?"

Chai Fang, who was about to walk into the ranks of officials, turned his head subconsciously when he heard the words, looked at Yang Tinghe with some puzzlement, and said, "Don't you say that the adults rushed to stop Gu Dayong when they heard that Gu Dayong was going to grab the money?" Is it used?"

Originally, after hearing Chai Fang's words, Yang Tinghe and the others felt a thump in their hearts, but now hearing Chai Fang's words, the complexions of Yang Tinghe and the others suddenly changed.

Staring at Chai Fang, Yang Tinghe said slowly: "You said Gu Dayong took people to the pier to grab money?"

Chai Fang nodded and said: "Not long ago, I just saw Gu Dayong leading the people from Tengxiang Right Guard and heading towards the pier with a lot of carts. I thought that Gu Dayong must be trying to send The money was stolen, so the subordinate officials rushed to tell the news to the adults, so that they ran all the way."

As he said that, Chai Fang said again: "Fortunately, I have met all of you adults..."

This time Yang Tinghe didn't wait for Chai Fang to finish speaking, and directly shouted angrily with a gloomy face: "Gu Dayong, dare you!"

Speaking of which, Yang Tinghe walked straight towards the pier.As for the demeanor of Ge Lao, how can he care so much at this time.If you go late, maybe Gu Dayong has already led someone to steal all the money.

Not only Yang Ting and the rest of the officials stopped Chai Fang's words one by one, but when they learned that Gu Dayong had led people to rob money, they were immediately filled with righteous indignation and infinite anger arose in their hearts.

Gu Dayong, I didn't expect that there was no movement before, it turned out to be suffocating, and even brought soldiers and horses to grab money, and asked them if they were there.

On the pier, the servants brought by Hubu leaned weakly against the side of the carriage one by one.

Originally, it was said that there would be work soon after arriving here. Most of these servants help the household department to run money and food on weekdays, and they have long been used to doing things when the time comes.

But like this time, the big ship carrying silver had already berthed at the pier, but the other party refused to move, and even an official of the household department died because of this, which shocked the guards.

A slight tremor came, and the ground shook slightly. Many people heard the movement and looked directly in the direction of the movement.

At a glance, many servants showed expressions of astonishment.

I saw a group of soldiers and horses coming in the distance driving carts. Looking at the posture, it seemed that they were coming towards the pier. Looking at the carts again, some people could faintly understand these carts. The purpose of the car coming.

Gu Dayong took the lead, and at the same time, a group of soldiers directly drove off the servants brought by the household department, and appeared on the dock at an extremely fast speed.

Gu Dayong boarded the big boat with a few steps, and when Du Guang on the big boat saw Gu Dayong coming, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss Gu, you're finally here! If you don't come again, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the money."

Du Guang is not exaggerating, he can be an ordinary official in the household department to establish his prestige, but if the cabinet elders and important officials of the court come, how can he still be able to chop him down with a single knife?

At this moment, Gu Dayong arrived in time, and Du Guang felt that the mountainous pressure on him finally disappeared.

Gu Dayong heard the words and said with a smile: "Du Qianhu has worked hard, and the next one will be handed over to our family."

Du Guang straightened his expression when he heard the words, took out a thick account book from his pocket and said, "Boss Gu, this is the bill for the confiscated money, gold, silver and jewels carried on the ship. Please check it with Chief Gu."

Gu Dayong said directly: "It's not too late to transport the things into the inner warehouse first, and then check them. Maybe Yang Ting and those people already know about our family bringing people over by now."

While speaking, Gu Dayong waved his hand, and immediately teams of soldiers began to board the ship and use tools to quickly transfer the gold and silver boxes loaded on the ship to the carriage on the pier.

Gu Dayong personally watched the shipping boxes on the pier, and whenever a carriage was loaded, Gu Dayong directly ordered people to transport these boxes away.

As the carriages left one after another, the money on board was being transferred away at an extremely fast speed.

About half an hour later, suddenly a horse galloped over, shouting while running wildly: "General Manager, here we come, the people from the cabinet are here."

Gu Dayong, who was sitting there, heard the shout, and got up immediately, with a serious look on his face.

Turning his gaze to Du Guang, he said, "Du Qianhu, how much money has been transferred?"

Du Guang silently estimated in his heart: "Back to the chief manager, almost half of them have been transported, and there are more than one million taels left."

Gu Dayong couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth when he heard the words, but when he thought of Yang Tinghe bringing people to kill him, he immediately turned to Du Guang and said, "Du Qianhu, you leave the Jinyiwei people to watch, and then you go back immediately." Jinyiwei yamen, don't leave the Jinyiwei yamen until Brother Li Huan comes back."

When talking about this, Gu Dayong said solemnly: "Although it is said that he is only a member of the household department, but the other party is an official of the imperial court after all. I am afraid that these people will vent their anger on you if they lose their money. Come on."

Du Guang is not a fool either, when he killed the official of the household department, he knew that the officials would not let him go so easily, and Gu Dayong let him hide in the Jinyiwei yamen, which was what he had planned to do. Of the policy.

Jin Yiwei's yamen is their Jin Yiwei's territory, as long as Jin Yiwei doesn't agree, no one can enter Jinyiwei's yamen to take him.

Arching his hands at Gu Dayong, Du Guangdang immediately said: "In that case, I will resign as an officer."

Yang Tinghe and others are coming soon, if he stays here, he might not be able to leave.

Gu Dayong nodded, watched Du Guang's figure disappear into the distance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly said not far away: "Brother Ma, since you're here, why don't you come here?"

It turned out that Gu Dayong had already noticed Ma Yongcheng and the others not far away.

Ma Yongcheng stepped forward with a smile, looked at Gu Dayong and said, "Boss Gu, you have hidden it so deeply that you even hid it from your majesty. You don't know how your majesty has dealt with the money these few days. Everyone is worried."

Gu Dayong couldn't help laughing and said: "Our family is also following Brother Li Huan's order. Brother Li Huan said that in order to prevent all officials from knowing in advance, let me send the silver to the inner treasury before telling His Majesty."

Ma Yongcheng watched the silver on the ship being transported away at an extremely fast speed, and thought of Yang Tinghe and others' expression if they found that most of the silver had been transported away when they arrived, he didn't know what kind of expression they would have.

Suddenly, Ma Yongcheng looked at Gu Dayong and said, "Boss Gu, there is still so much money, I'm afraid it won't be finished."

Gu Dayong smiled, he naturally knew what Ma Yongcheng meant, but Gu Dayong said with a smile: "Brother Ma, would you like to go with me to meet Yang Ting and them for a while."

Ma Yongcheng was stunned when he heard the words, and then he realized what Gu Dayong meant. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, then our family will go with Manager Gu to meet Yang Tinghe and others."

After all, Yang Tinghe and the others came all the way on foot, and they weren't in a hurry at first. After all, Yin Zi was there, so he wouldn't run long, would he?

But when they learned that Gu Dayong had brought the people from the Tengxiang Youwei camp with a cart to grab the money, Yang Ting and the others became anxious.

Needless to say, if hundreds of soldiers work together, the speed of transferring gold and silver will definitely not be slow. If they go late, the silver may really be taken away by Gu Dayong.

Suddenly several figures in front appeared in the line of sight of the officials.

Someone couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw it: "It's Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng and the others."

Yang Tinghe frowned, but kept walking, and soon came to Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng and the others.

With a smile on his face, Gu Dayong went up to Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang and said with a smile, "Masters, our family has been waiting for you here for a long time."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, what did Gu Dayong mean by this, and why did he wait for them here.

Yang Tinghe took a look at Gu Dayong, and suddenly said: "Director Gu, Ming people don't talk dark words, the money..."

Before Yang Tinghe finished speaking, Gu Dayong said with a smile: "Isn't it easy to discuss about money? Isn't it just some money? Our family knows that your lords are for the consideration of the court, so it's okay for you adults to want to take the money back to the treasury." I can understand."

I thought that Gu Dayong was here to grab the money, but after hearing Gu Dayong's words, it was rare to be reasonable, which made many officials who were staring at Gu Dayong angrily look at Gu Dayong with kinder eyes. .

Yang Tinghe glanced at Gu Dayong in surprise and said, "Oh, so Director Gu also thinks that the money should go into the treasury?"

Gu Dayong coughed lightly and said: "There is no problem in entering the national treasury, but His Majesty is also poor, so you can't understand His Majesty's difficulties."

Yang Tinghe snorted coldly when he heard the words: "It's not that I don't understand His Majesty's difficulties, but that the court urgently needs a batch of money to do things."

Gu Dayong said with a smile: "Our family knows that the imperial court needs money, so isn't our family here to discuss with you adults?"

Ma Yongcheng on the side looked at Gu Dayong arguing with Yang Tinghe and other officials with a strange look, and even quarreled several times over the ownership of the money.

But in Ma Yongcheng's heart, it is like a bright mirror, Gu Dayong is not fighting for the ownership of the money, he is clearly fighting for time.

After more than half an hour passed, Gu Dayong felt his mouth was a little dry, and guessed in his heart that the money on the ship should be transferred.

But now Yang Tinghe and others saw that Gu Dayong was not allowed to enter, so they had no intention of continuing to discuss with Gu Dayong.

Then I heard Yang Tinghe angrily say to Gu Dayong: "Since Manager Gu insists on his own opinion, please ask Manager Gu to fetch His Majesty's imperial decree. If there is His Majesty's imperial decree, the money on the pier will be put into the internal treasury. The officer has nothing to say."

Gu Dayong waved his sleeves and said, "It's ridiculous, if our family can invite the imperial decree, will we still discuss it with you here? Since your lords refuse to agree, then our family will leave here."

Speaking of which, Gu Dayong turned to Ma Yongcheng and said, "Brother Ma, let's go."

Regardless of what Yang Tinghe and the others looked at, Gu Dayong took them with him and left with Ma Yongcheng.

Bao Qing and the others looked stunned, only to hear Bao Qing mutter softly: "It's strange, this Gu Dayong stopped us, and after talking for a long time, it seemed that all of them were meaningless words."

Yang Tinghe's expression suddenly changed when he heard the words: "No, Gu Dayong may be delaying time, you all follow the old man to the pier."

Everyone was not stupid, they were just confused by Gu Dayong's tricks before, but now hearing Yang Tinghe's words, they all vaguely felt that they were being fooled by Gu Dayong.

A group of people rushed to the pier as if galloping all the way, and saw several officials from the household department sitting there with mournful faces, and even their bodies were covered with dust.

When they saw Yang Tinghe, Bao Qing and others, several officials ran over crying as if they had been rescued.

"My lords, my lords, the money is gone..."

Yang Tinghe froze when he heard the words, his complexion became extremely ugly, while Bao Qing slapped an official on the face and shouted, "Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on it? How could the money be gone?"

The slapped Li Huan cried: "My lord, not long after you left, Gu Dayong brought a group of people to transport the money away at a very fast speed, while we were vacated. The soldiers of the Xiangyou Guard Camp have been guarded..."

Bao Qing tremblingly said: "All the money was taken away by Gu Dayong's people?"

The official said with a mournful face, "Just a quarter of an hour ago, Gu Dayong's men took all the silver and left."

Yang Tinghe suddenly burst into laughter, and said angrily while laughing: "You are so good, I never thought that the old man would be deceived by you."

Thinking that Gu Dayong stopped them more than half an hour ago, Gu Dayong's people must still be transferring money at that time, and Gu Dayong said so much nonsense, it was nothing more than delaying time.

It's just that at that time they didn't think that Gu Dayong could take away the money in such a short period of time, so they gave Gu Dayong a chance.

Bao Qing looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "My lord, the money is gone, what should we do?"

Yang Tinghe took a deep breath and said, "Since the money was taken away by Gu Dayong, it's not that easy to get it back."

As he said that, a strange color flashed in Yang Tinghe's eyes and said: "But the money will go back to the treasury after all."

Many officials looked at Yang Tinghe in puzzlement upon hearing this.

Censor Bianyu suddenly said at this time: "The Jinyiwei Qianhu Du Guang..."

Yang Tinghe sneered and said: "Let the governor send someone to arrest Du Guang and bring him to justice on the charge of killing Du Guang without permission."

Some officials immediately responded and left.

If you lose money, you can't even forget about Du Guang's killing of the officials of the household department.

A group of officials dispersed, and what happened on the pier spread at an extremely fast speed.

In the palace, at dusk

Zhu Hou took care of Ma Yongcheng and Gu Dayong, especially the account books of millions of taels of gold and silver that Gu Dayong held in his hands, his face was full of surprise and surprise.

Listening to Gu Dayong's narration, Zhu Houzhao exclaimed: "So, everything is in Li Huan's expectation?"

Gu Dayong nodded and said: "Although Brother Li can't predict things like a god, he also guessed that it is impossible for the officials to let the gold and silver enter His Majesty's inner treasury, so he specially wrote to the old slave to tell the old slave, so that the The silver was snatched from the hands of the officials."

Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said, "Okay, okay, Li Qing really did not disappoint me."

Autumn of the third year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty

The autumn wind in October already carried a bit of chill, on the official road, a long team escorted several prison cars and moved forward slowly.

And behind these prison carts, there are no less than a hundred huge carriages making creaking noises. Wherever the carriages pass, there is a very obvious rut ​​trace on the official road. It can be seen that these carriages How heavy is the thing pulled on the carriage.

On top of a leading war horse, a figure was dressed in brocade clothes and a black cloak, letting the autumn wind howl.

Surrounded by a team of Jinyiwei school lieutenants, surrounded by a group of elite soldiers exuding evil spirits.

And this group of people is none other than Li Huan and others who personally led Jin Yiwei to Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture to deal with Xie Qian's treason case more than a month ago.

Li Huan, who was riding on the horse, had a look of emotion on his face. Thinking of his experience of more than a month, he was filled with emotion.

Even he didn't expect that Xie Qian's influence in Yuyao County would be so great. To be precise, his influence in Shilin was completely beyond expectations.

Those scholars who listened to Xie Qian's lectures were completely brainwashed by Xie Qian and became Xie Qian's loyal followers.

If it was possible not to kill people, Li Huan actually didn't want to kill people either.

However, the reactions and actions of those scholars have already touched Li Huan's bottom line. It is conceivable that if Li Huan really let go of Su Kui, Xi Zhen and others at that time, it would only make those people even more arrogant.

What's even more frightening is that when these people take part in the imperial examination and enter the imperial court, these people will inevitably become potential confidantes.

Li Huan had no choice but to wield the butcher knife, even if he was regarded as a murderous maniac or a butcher, he recognized it.

It is not that Li Huan has gained nothing in Yuyao County this time. The eight great families in Yuyao, except the Qu family, did not participate in it. It can be said that all six families were ransacked and wiped out by Li Huan.

Counting the confiscated family property of the Xie family, the confiscated cash this time alone is almost 300 million taels, and this does not include fields, manors, mines, etc.

Although there are still some endings that have not been dealt with cleanly, Li Huan also arranged for someone to deal with them.

Looking at the capital in front of him, Li Huan smiled a little. He, Li Huan, is back again.

Almost half a month ago, Li Huan received the news from Jin Yiwei that Gu Dayong had snatched the silver and put it into the emperor's treasury.

The Baiguan who had turned against Yingtian suddenly fell silent. For such a long time, all the officials were honest and honest, and no one mentioned the issue of the ownership of the confiscated silver. Baiguan suddenly got amnesia and forgot about it.

Although it is said that he failed to get the first sum of gold and silver, but there is still a sum that was confiscated in Fujian later, plus the millions of taels that Li Huan brought back this time, there are several million taels in total.

If it is said that the Civil Service Group does not have their eye on these two sums of gold and silver, no one will believe it.

With nearly tens of millions of taels of gold and silver involved, Li Huan did not believe that the Civil Service Group would give up just because of one failure.

But no matter what schemes these people have, Li Huan is not afraid, the worst is to cover up with water and earth, and soldiers come to block them.

At the gate of the city, several figures were looking forward to it, and the leaders were Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, Qiu Ju and others.

Suddenly, Qiu Ju said with a look of excitement on his face, "Here we come, Brother Li is back."

When Li Huan's figure appeared in front of Qiu Ju and the others, Qiu Ju and the others couldn't help laughing and stepped forward.

I heard Qiu Ju say to Li Huan: "Brother Li, you are finally back. Your Majesty always misses you. He told our family a few days ago that he must personally come to welcome you into the palace today."

Hearing this, Li Huan cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial city and said, "Thanks to His Majesty's love, Li Huan is terrified."

Gu Dayong's eyes fell on the long line of carriages behind Li Huan, and he said with a smile on his old face, "Brother Li, are these all gold and silver confiscated from Yuyao County?" ?”

Li Huan nodded with a smile and said: "That's right, there are more than 300 million taels, and I will trouble Brother Gu to send these gold and silver to His Majesty's inner treasury later."

Gu Dayong patted his chest and said: "Brother Li, don't worry, our family has brought the troops from the Tengxiang Youwei camp this time like last time, and no one will think about these money."

Hearing what Gu Dayong said, Li Huan couldn't help raising his brows, glanced at Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju, and Ma Yongcheng and said, "It's strange. According to the temperament of hundreds of officials, I brought so much gold and silver back. They must be fighting for a fight, why didn't they see any reaction."

Hearing what Li Huan said, Gu Dayong was also puzzled and said: "Don't say it's you, brother Li, even I feel very strange that these people don't respond at all, it's really abnormal."

Li Huan looked at Ma Yongcheng, Ma Yongcheng naturally understood Li Huan's meaning, but he shook his head helplessly at Li Huan and said: "Jinyiwei's inspection and supervision of all officials is better than Dongchang, even Jinyiwei didn't find anything, The sons of our family have found nothing."

But Qiu Ju said with a smile: "Perhaps those people were afraid of Brother Li, and they didn't dare to join in when they learned that Brother Li had returned with gold and silver in person."

Hearing what Qiu Ju said, several people couldn't help laughing, and Gu Dayong nodded and said, "Not to mention, if there is no other reason, it might really be because I'm afraid of Brother Li."

Li Huan shook his head with a wry smile. With the pissing nature of the officials, it would be strange if they were afraid. The reason why there was no movement at all must be that there was a bigger plan.

At this moment, Qiu Ju coughed lightly and said to Gu Dayong and Ma Yongcheng, "Everyone, Your Majesty is still waiting for Brother Li in the palace. If you have anything to say, I will talk about it in my free time."

Gu Dayong and the others nodded repeatedly.

Li Huan handed over to Gu Dayong, and then ordered people to take Xie Qian and others to the Imperial Prison, while he himself went straight to the imperial city with Qiuju.

In the carriage, Qiu Ju talked and laughed with Li Huan, and told Li Huan many things that happened in the capital and the imperial city during these days.

Suddenly, Qiu Ju said: "By the way, Brother Li, do you still remember that you spoke to His Majesty earlier and summoned Shao Yuanjie Daoist from Longhu Mountain to Beijing?"

Li Huan raised his brows involuntarily when he heard the words, a light flashed in his eyes, looked at Qiu Ju and said, "Could it be that Master Shao has already entered the capital?"

Qiu Ju nodded with a smile.

Although it is said that Qiu Ju is the emperor's close servant, he can be said to be the closest person to the emperor, but Qiu Ju doesn't know why Li Huan suggested that the emperor summon a real person like Shao Yuanjie to the capital.

But the biggest advantage of people like Qiu Ju is that they know what to inquire about and what not to inquire about.

Qiu Ju vaguely guessed that the emperor's summoning of Shao Yuanjie to Beijing must have something to do with the emperor's privacy, so Qiu Ju didn't intend to inquire at all.

Li Huan pondered for a while and said, "Did Your Majesty ever call that Shao Yuanjie into the palace?"

Qiu Ju shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Renren Shao probably came to Beijing a few days ago, but His Majesty did not call him into the palace. He said that he would consider summoning Zhenren Shao after Brother Li came back."

Li Huan nodded.

Qiu Ju suddenly said: "By the way, Shao Zhenren is now staying in the British government."

As he said that, Qiu Ju blinked at Li Huan with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Li, your fiancée Zhang Jin is still a true disciple of Shao Yuanjie. In terms of seniority, Brother Li, you still don't know who you are." You should call that Shao Zhenren a master."

Seeing Qiu Ju making fun of him, Li Huan couldn't help smiling.

However, because of Zhang Jin's relationship, before Shao Yuanjie entered the palace, he could go to see Shao Yuanjie first, at least let Shao Yuanjie understand why he was called into the palace.

And he also needs to make sure whether Shao Yuanjie is really capable or not. After all, he recommended him. If Shao Yuanjie has a false name, maybe the emperor will not blame him, but his face is also dull, isn't it? .

Qianqing Palace

Zhu Houzhao, who had already ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a table of sumptuous food and wine, was looking out of the hall from time to time.

Gao Feng, who was serving at the side, said: "Your Majesty, there has been news just now that Brother Li Huan has completed the handover with Chief Gu and the others, and they are rushing towards the imperial city together with Qiu Ju, and they may have already entered the palace city by now. .”

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said, "I'm not in a hurry, it's just that Li Qing has been away for so long, and I'm quite concerned about it."

Gao Feng said: "If Brother Li Huan knew about it, he would definitely be very grateful."

As he was speaking, he heard a small servant screaming: "The governor, Li Huan, begs to see His Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao got up suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face, he said, "Send it quickly!"

Soon, a figure appeared in the line of sight, with a tall and straight figure, wearing a flying fish suit, with a serious face, with a faint look of travel and dust on his body, striding forward with steady steps, it was either Li Huan or who.

When Zhu Houzhao saw Li Huan, the corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth twitched into a meaningful smile.

When Li Huan saw the sumptuous food on the square table in Qianqing Palace, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help feeling a little moved.

The emperor made it clear that he was setting up a small banquet to welcome him. Even some important ministers may not be able to receive such treatment in their entire lives.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Li Huan strode forward and bowed to Zhu Houzhao: "I, Li Huan, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao said with a hearty smile, "The Qing family, get up quickly."

After looking at Li Huan for a while, Zhu Houzhao motioned Li Huan to take a seat and said, "Li Qing has been working so hard on the affairs of the court, but it has reduced a lot."

Just when Li Huan and Zhu Houzhao met each other, the news of Li Huan's return to Beijing also spread at a very fast speed.

Cabinet minister Yang Tinghe's residence

Yang Tinghe returned home early that day, and was flipping through a lone classic in the study at the moment, when the butler walked into the study gently and said to Yang Tinghe, "Master, Li Huan has returned to Beijing."

Yang Tinghe slowly raised his head and looked at the old housekeeper.

The old butler said clearly: "Li Huan arrived at the gate of the city about a stick of incense before, and handed over the gold and silver he brought back to Gu Dayong to be transported to the inner treasury. Xie Qian and others were escorted to the imperial prison, and Li Huan I went to the palace according to the order."

Yang Tinghe nodded slightly, and the old housekeeper slowly retreated when he saw this.

Yang Tinghe, who was sitting in front of the desk, unconsciously patted the palm of his hand with the lonely book in his hand, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Li Huan, you are finally back, this time I will see how you deal with it."
