Start with Baihuguan

After comforting Qiu Ju and Gao Feng, Zhu Houzhao turned his eyes on Li Huan again, looked at Li Huan, and Zhu Houzhao said slowly, "Li Qing, what are you going to do about this case of corruption in the military?" to check?"

Li Huan was very calm when he heard the words, he just looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "I will not implicate anyone wantonly, but I will not let a guilty person go!"

The corners of Liu Jin and Qiu Ju's mouths couldn't help twitching. There was nothing wrong with Li Huan's words, but they could only feel a bloody air rushing towards their faces when they heard Li Huan's words.

They are also clear about the virtues of those officials in the DPRK. If Li Huan really went to investigate such a big case, I am afraid that several yamen will not dare to say ten to seven or eight, and at least half of them will fall down. , by that time, the city will be full of wind and rain again.

Zhu Houzhao didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Huan's words. Instead, he nodded slightly to Li Huan and said, "These people are really daring. They even dare to deal with military supplies. If they can't investigate this matter thoroughly, who knows what they will do in the future?" What will happen."

Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and said: "Since I have handed over this case to Jinyiwei and Dongchang for joint investigation, then Li Qing, you can go and investigate freely. No matter who is involved, what is the origin and background, just take it down." That is, if something happens, I will take care of everything for you."

Li Huan respectfully saluted Zhu Houzhao with a serious expression on his face, "I respectfully obey Your Majesty's decree."

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao also glanced at Ma Yongcheng, who was hanging his head, and said: "Ma Daban, you are in charge of the East Factory, and this time you will assist Li Qing to investigate the case together."

Ma Yongcheng quickly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the old slave will definitely cooperate with the general in investigating the case."

Obviously, Zhu Houzhao specifically mentioned Ma Yongcheng because he was worried that Ma Yongcheng would secretly compete with Li Huan for the dominance of the investigation. After all, the relationship between Dongchang and Jinyiwei has not been harmonious for a long time. Jin Yiwei is on the other side, if this is not clear about the primary and secondary, there is a high possibility that there will be troubles at that time.

At this moment, a small servant came over quietly and said to Zhu Houzhao in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the empress is here!"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and subconsciously said: "The queen is not resting in Kunning Palace, how could she come to see me!"

But that being said, Zhu Houzhao immediately said to the little servant, "Quickly invite the queen in!"

Li Huan was right in front of Zhu Houzhao, so he could hear him clearly.

At this time when he heard that the queen was coming, Li Huan took a few steps back, and then he saw a slim figure approaching the entrance of the imperial study, served by several court ladies.

Li Huan lowered his head slightly, and just glanced from the corner of his eye to see Empress Xia who walked into the imperial study.

Empress Xia was dressed in a goose-yellow palace dress. She did not appear solemn in her attire, but it revealed a bit of life.

It's just that Empress Xia's lower abdomen is obviously a little protruding. Although it is only a few months old, it is already showing at this moment.

As the emperor's first heir, Empress Xia, who is now pregnant, is definitely the most concerned existence in the palace. It can be said that the empress dowager cares more about Empress Xia than she does about the emperor.

Even the Son of Heaven paid great attention to Empress Xia's daily necessities.

After all, for Zhu Houzhao, it was not easy for this heir to come, so he naturally attached great importance to it.

This is also the reason why Zhu Houzhao was so surprised when he suddenly heard that the empress came. After all, these days, the empress seldom leaves the Kunning Palace, and always rests in the Kunning Palace.

Zhu Houzhao, who walked down the steps, met Empress Xia, stretched out his hand to support Empress Xia's arm, and said, "The empress is not resting in the palace, why did you come here? What if you have a fetal gas..."

Empress Xia was supported by Zhu Houzhao. It would be fine if there were no outsiders, but Li Huan, a foreign minister, was standing beside her, so a blush flashed on Empress Xia's delicate face, and she rushed Zhu Houzhao shook his head slightly and said: "The concubine just heard that His Majesty and the general are discussing matters here, so I specially ordered someone to prepare some meals."

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback when he heard the words, then he looked at the sky and reacted and said: "It's just that I was fascinated by the discussion with Li Qing, (this chapter is not finished!)
Chapter 320 Three What is Jane in the Emperor's Heart

Forget about time. "

Empress Xia waved her hands at the maids beside her, and immediately saw several maids take out the prepared meals from the food boxes and set them up.

At this time, Empress Xia's eyes fell on Li Huan. Although it was not the first time that Empress Xia saw Li Huan, to her, Empress Xia had only met Li Huan a few times, but this time Li Huan gave Xia Huan The empress felt a little different.

As if sensing Empress Xia's gaze, Li Huan hurriedly bowed to Empress Xia and said, "My subject, Li Huan, has met Empress Empress, empress is a thousand years old!"

Empress Xia smiled slightly and said: "You don't need to be too polite, the general, I also want to thank the general for coming this time."

Hearing Empress Xia's words, not to mention Li Huan, even Zhu Houzhao beside him couldn't help showing a bit of surprise.

Zhu Houzhao asked curiously, "Why did the queen say that?"

Empress Xia glanced at Zhu Houzhao with a slight smile and said: "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? The fact that I can get dragon sons is all thanks to the General and Zhenren Shao to recuperate Your Majesty's body. Your Majesty doesn't remember, but my concubine does."

Zhu Houzhao was just taken aback when he heard the words, and then he reacted and said: "How can I forget what the queen said? Li Qing has made great contributions to the community, and I will always remember it in my heart."

Emperor Xia nodded slightly to Li Huan, and then said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty is discussing matters with the General, so don't forget to eat, the concubine will not bother Your Majesty anymore."

Empress Xia came and went quickly, as if she just came to see Li Huan, and then specially thanked Li Huan.

Watching Empress Xia go away, Zhu Houzhao said to Li Huan: "If the Empress hadn't reminded me, I would have really forgotten that the royal heirs have been extended, Li Qing, you have contributed a lot."

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan with a relaxed expression on his face, "Tell me, what reward do you want?"

It can be seen that after the queen became pregnant, Zhu Houzhao felt a lot more relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his body. At this time, he looked at Li Huan with a smile on his face.

Li Huan shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really a shameful minister. The succession of the descendants of the Tian family is related to the stability of the world, and the minister is just the duty of the minister. If you really want to thank you, your majesty should thank Master Shao." .”

Zhu Houzhao laughed and said, "I have already rewarded Master Shao."

As Zhu Hou took care of Li Huan, he suddenly felt moved: "If you don't, I will give you a favor. When you have a son, I will shade him as a thousand households of Jinyiwei."

As the saying goes, being promoted to a noble position and ennobling his wife and son, Li Huan still has the military merits of defeating the Tartars, and he would not be able to use this credit, so naturally he can only be used to confer his wife and son. .

It's just that Li Huang's two wives had already given their orders when the emperor bestowed their marriages, and after thinking about it, they could only bestow favor on Li Huan's still-unknown heir.

Li Huan couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, his son didn't have a shadow yet, yet the emperor had already given Jin Yiwei thousands of families the favor.

Although it is said that there is only a reputation and no real power to reward, but there are not many people who can be kind to the descendants of Jin Yiwei and have such treatment.

Taking a deep breath, Li Huan bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Li Huan, couldn't help laughing, patted Li Huan's shoulder with his big hand and said: "I already have a dragon son, Li Qing, you have been married for more than half a year, and the Li family has a single lineage, so is it true?" It's time to think about opening branches and leaves for the Li family and multiplying offspring."

Qiu Ju, Gao Feng and others who were serving at the side showed envy in their eyes when they saw this scene.

To be so favored by the emperor, such a person who is so simple in the emperor's heart, looking at the Zhengde Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be no second person.

Zhu Houzhao greeted Li Huan to sit down, and the two monarchs and ministers talked in a low voice while eating.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao asked more questions, and Li Huan answered. Needless to say, Zhu Houzhao's main focus is to keep Li Huan and Wang Yangming from returning to the court for so long.

Listening to Li Huan's narration, Zhu Houzhao's eyes shone with joy, and when Li Huan finished speaking, he couldn't help clapping his hands and praised: "If it is according to Li Qing's words, after this reorganization of the army, the Beijing camp can add [-] people. An elite teacher who has experienced slaughter and seen blood?"

Li Huan nodded solemnly and said: (This chapter is not finished!)
Chapter 320 Three What is Jane in the Emperor's Heart

"As Your Majesty said, this time I was ordered to reorganize the army with the Governor Wang Yangming. I left the division of Yan'an Mansion in Shaanxi. One hundred thousand elites have been selected, and they are coming to the capital under the leadership of the Governor. If there are no accidents, It will take at least half a month to arrive in Beijing."

Although the capital of the Ming Dynasty said that there were still some soldiers of the capital battalion stationed there, but if we really want to talk about it, the current capital is definitely at a time when it has the fewest soldiers and horses and the weakest defense.

There are only tens of thousands of Beijing battalions stationed in such a huge capital city. Compared with the more than 20 Beijing battalions stationed on weekdays, it is simply incomparable.

Zhu Houzhao smiled a little when he heard the words, and looked at Li Huan with great satisfaction and said, "Okay, I feel at ease to have this elite teacher enter Beijing!"

You must know that during the past half a year, Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, has been under a lot of pressure.

In order to support Li Huan and Wang Yangming in their war against the Tatars, Zhu Houzhao had disputes with the court officials more than once. It was also under Zhu Houzhao's insistence that Li Huan and Wang Yangming were able to fight against the Tartars without any worries. .

The pressure brought by the 10,000+ Tartar invaders to Daming is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Because there have been experiences of Hu people killing people under the capital, more than once ministers suggested that troops should be dispatched from the local area to defend the capital.

It's just that almost all the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty that were worthy of a battle have been transferred to Li Huan and Wang Yangming's command, which directly caused the capital to have no soldiers to transfer for a while.

The emptiness of the capital and the shortage of soldiers and horses have almost become one of the excuses for the court officials to attack Li Huan during the past six months.

It was precisely because of Li Huan's rectification of the Beijing camp that the capital camp with a population of more than a dozen or 20 was reduced to only tens of thousands of horses, which made the defense of the capital weak.

Baiguan didn't care that after Li Huan eliminated the Beijing camp, the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were even far more powerful than the previous 10,000+ old, weak, sick and disabled. What they were concerned about was that the Beijing camp had fewer than [-] troops after the elimination.

That is to say, Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, supported him with all his strength, otherwise, the memorials to impeach Li Huan like snowflakes every day could have buried Li Huan.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao chuckled lightly, and said with a sigh of relief: "After the [-] elites are merged into the Beijing camp, those officials in the court who impeach you for not doing enough to rectify the Beijing camp can shut up."

Li Huan was in charge of Jinyiwei, so it was impossible for him to be unclear about the situation in the capital. He immediately understood what was going on after hearing what Zhu Houzhao said.

With a bit of a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Huan bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Speaking of which, it is not wrong for the officials to impeach. It is the minister's job to straighten out the Beijing camp. If the minister is more effective, he can make up for the lack of soldiers in the capital camp early. It won’t make His Majesty worry about the defense of the capital before.”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head sternly and said: "Li Qing, you are able to reorganize the Beijing camp to such an extent in such a short period of time. It is beyond imagination. If you ask for more, it will be difficult for others."

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao raised a glass of water and wine and toasted Li Huan, saying, "Come on, Li Qing is back today, I'm so happy, let's have a drink with me!"

Li Huan raised his glass to drink with the emperor.

After drinking a cup, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing came back in a hurry, I'm afraid he hasn't returned home yet!"

Li Huan nodded and said: "As soon as I returned to Beijing, I went directly to the palace to meet His Majesty, and I haven't returned to the mansion yet!"

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao looked at the sky outside and said with a smile: "It's getting late, if you don't let you out of the palace, I'm afraid the palace gate will be locked."

Li Huan got up, said goodbye to the emperor, and went out of the palace.

Outside the palace gate, the sky had already darkened. A dozen or so personal guards from Li Hu and Li Guo were waiting outside the palace gate. When they saw Li Huan walking out of the palace gate, everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes. Bright.

"My lord, you can be regarded as coming out. If you don't come out again, we will all think that you are staying in the imperial city by His Majesty."

Lin Pingshang came forward and smiled at Li Huan.

Glancing at Lin Pingzhi, Li Huan turned his head to look at the locked palace gate, got on his horse and smiled at Li Hu and the others: "Go, follow me back to the mansion!"

"Go home!"

Accompanied by Li Hu, Li Guo and others cheering, a group of people immediately got on their horses, and then followed Li Huan and rode away one by one.

Jinyiwei Prison

As a prison under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei, the name of the imperial prison can be said to be infamous, and all (this chapter is not finished!)
Chapter 320 Three What is Jane in the Emperor's Heart

It is said that if you go through a life in the imperial prison, even if you are lucky enough to survive, most of the people will be useless.

Since Li Huan led the army to leave the capital, Jinyiwei's yamen seemed to be calmer all of a sudden, as if without Li Huan as the backbone, Jinyiwei restrained its sharp minions from top to bottom.

On this day, the tranquility of the prison was suddenly broken, and more than a dozen officials, large and small, were taken into the imperial prison of Jinyiwei.

Needless to say, these officials were the ones who failed to impeach Li Huan at today's Great Court Meeting, but were actually left capital censor Chen Wenliang and others who were taken down by Li Huan.

Chen Wenliang, who had been stripped of his official uniform, looked quite embarrassed. Although his expression was dejected, his whole person seemed extremely calm, as if he had seen through it. He didn't cry like other officials when they entered the imperial prison. Shouting for mercy, losing the last bit of face.
