Start with Baihuguan

Chapter 447

It has to be said that this sudden change was indeed beyond the expectations of many people, and even those who secretly spread all kinds of rumors felt that things were somewhat out of control at the moment.

After all, according to what they had thought in advance, after mobilizing enough scholars, they would have a group of scholars gather in front of the palace gate tomorrow, and then petition the emperor together, begging the emperor to abolish the tax reform and severely punish Li Huan.

It's just obvious that things are beyond their control. Those scholars who were stimulated and lost their minds couldn't wait for the next morning to go to the imperial city. People rushed to the imperial city.

Such a change surprised even Jin Yiwei and the spies from Dongchang who were secretly monitoring these scholars.

The spies from Jinyiwei and Dongchang had the most sensitive sense of smell. When they sensed that something was out of control, they instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and immediately sent the news back to the Yamen.

Jinyiwei Yamen

With Li Huan entering the palace, Chen Ke was almost in charge of the Jinyiwei yamen.

Chen Ke looked at the panting and terrified Jinyiwei Xiaoqi officer in front of him and frowned, "What happened, so flustered?"

The little banner official couldn't help but said: "My lord, something is wrong, those... those scholars left the Imperial College one by one, and ran towards the imperial city, clamoring for the emperor to give them an explanation, if the commander is not removed They will never agree to what the adults say."

With a bang, Chen Ke slapped the table with his palm, and said with an extremely gloomy expression, "What did you say? Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on those people in the Imperial College? Why is there such a mess? ?”

Chen Ke couldn't help but get angry, Jin Yiwei's people had already mixed into the Guozijian, and it could be said that they knew the movements of those scholars in the Guozijian very well.

Fortunately, the little banner official suddenly ran over and told him that the scholars of the Imperial College had lost control.

As a high-level executive of Jinyiwei, the last thing officials like Chen Ke want to see is such a situation where everything is out of control, but Chen Ke is also someone who has experienced big scenes and seen big battles.

Back then, even if there was a big battle like a rebel army attacking the imperial city at night, he had experienced it. Now that a group of scholars are trying to go to the imperial city to petition the emperor, Chen Ke will not be in a mess.

The little banner officer couldn't help but looked at Chen Ke and said, "My lord, do you want to send someone to disperse all these scholars?"

Chen Ke hesitated a little when he heard the words, then shook his head: "He had already suggested to Li Huan before that he sent someone to prevent the gathering of scholars, but Li Huan rejected it. Although things are out of control now, but Overall it didn't exceed expectations.

So Chen Ke shook his head at the little flag officer and said, "No need for now, but immediately dispatch elite troops to the vicinity of the imperial city, and follow orders at any time."

As the headquarters of Jinyiwei, after Li Huan's rectification, Jinyiwei's strength should not be underestimated. In this capital, hundreds of elite troops can be drawn casually.

With such a team in hand, unless a large army enters the city, it is enough to deal with everything.

Imperial City
Li Huan and the emperor had a careful discussion about the problems they might encounter after dawn. The monarch and his ministers had a countermeasure, and their faces were relaxed.

Seeing that the sky outside was completely dark, Zhu Houzhao said loudly at this time: "Come here, take Li Qing to the side hall to rest."

Li Huan wanted to get up and refuse, after all, as a foreign minister, it is obviously inappropriate to stay overnight in the imperial city.

But before Li Huan refused, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "There will be a big show tomorrow morning, so Li Qing should not rush back and forth, after all, the palace gate has been locked at this moment, and Li Qing has to bother to guard the gate if he wants to go out." The official reopened the palace gate."

Li Huan thought about it but didn't insist, just like what Zhu Houzhao said, it's really inappropriate to go out of the palace at this time, just stay overnight in the imperial city, anyway, this is not the first time.

Just when the monarch and his subjects were about to go to rest, a large number of scholars had already gathered in front of the palace gate of the imperial city.

These scholars rushed all the way from the Guozijian to the imperial city, each of them seemed to have had chicken blood. At this time, they looked at the high and closed palace gate and the guards in front of the palace gate, staring at them like menacing gods. The imperial guards immediately didn't know how to react.

Thousands of scholars rushed to the imperial city mightily. It is impossible for such a big movement not to be noticed by the imperial guards guarding the imperial city. It is said that when these scholars arrived, what they saw was the scene of imperial guards waiting in full force.

One of the leading generals on duty at the moment had a cold face, and shouted at the group of scholars in front of the palace gate: "Bold, you know that this is the important place of the imperial city, and you have gathered people like this, could it be If you want to attack the imperial city, can you do the rebellion?"

I have to say that this general is quite knowledgeable. Although he can't tell what it means for these scholars to gather together and appear in front of the imperial city, he is clear about one thing, that is, many of these people follow the crowd Come, even if someone wants to rebel, then his words can also divide people's hearts.

Accompanied by the general's furious rebuke, the formerly enthusiastic scholars calmed down for a while, looking at the guardian in front of the imperial city guard holding a weapon in front of the palace gate, it was almost like a conditioned reflex Everyone took a few steps back.

But soon someone realized it, and one of the leaders boldly took a step forward and said to the general: "This general, we are scholars from the Imperial Academy, and we are not some rebellious soldiers intending to rebel."

The general had already received the news in advance, and now seeing the group of people in green shirts who looked like scholars, his heart was more or less relieved.

It's just a group of scholars with no power to restrain chickens. Let alone some thieves, if they are really thieves, then he is really not afraid.

With a light cough, the general glanced at everyone coldly and said: "Since you are my scholars, why did you come to the imperial city in the middle of the night? If so many people are disturbing the holy driver, will you be convicted?"

A young scholar couldn't help but said: "We came here to petition His Majesty, what is our crime?"

After a faint glance at the scholar, the general guarding the gate sneered and said: "Bold, your Majesty, whoever you want to see can see it, listen to this general's advice, and leave quickly, otherwise, once the words alarm the heavens , you and others will definitely not escape the guilt.”

There was a look of panic on the face of a scholar, and he subconsciously looked at his companions around him.

Among the crowd, Lin Yuan was at the very front. Hearing the words of the gatekeeper at this moment, he immediately said: "I am utterly loyal to Your Majesty, and I came here just to state my opinion to Your Majesty. Your Majesty hasn't rejected us yet, what do you have to do?" Power obstructs us, could it be that you are trying to deceive the sky like that traitor Li Huan!"

It has to be said that Lin Yuan's words had an extremely vicious meaning. If the general dared to obstruct him, he would be directly labeled as Li Huan's accomplice and Li Huan's pawn to deceive the emperor.

The general is not stupid, he reacted immediately, but after he reacted, his face became extremely gloomy, and he glanced at Lin Yuan coldly and said: "What a sharp tongue, I don't care what you do here, but my duty It is to guard Miyagi, if you dare to take a step forward without authorization, then don't blame this general for being rude."

While speaking, the general suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, and there was a sound of the long swords coming out of the sheath in unison, and all the guards behind the general also pulled out their long swords in unison, staring fiercely at the man in front of him. A group of scholars.

A strong evil spirit rushed towards his face, and many scholars who were in front of him backed away in shock.

With a sound of stabbing, the general saw a long scratch on the ground with his knife, staring at a group of scholars with a sneer and said: "If anyone dares to cross this line, he will be killed immediately."

Staring at the general and the glint of the knife behind him, many people swallowed subconsciously, feeling a little frightened in their hearts, and even the noise that had been yelling before suddenly stopped at this moment. And stop.

All of a sudden, under the awe of more than a hundred imperial city guards, none of the thousands of scholars dared to speak out.

After a while, someone said: "If you don't cross the line, you don't cross the line. Today we will sit quietly in front of this palace gate and wait for His Majesty to come and listen to our wishes."

As soon as this remark came out, many scholars immediately echoed it loudly.

"Yes, yes, we can sit quietly in front of the palace gate as long as we don't cross the line. I don't believe His Majesty can ignore us."

"Everyone chooses a place to sit down. From now on, we can't afford to sit here until His Majesty is willing to come and listen to our wishes."

Someone shouted at a group of scholars in the crowd.

Obviously, these words won the approval of many people, and the ground was quickly filled with many scholars who rushed all the way.

Thanks to the fact that the gates of the Imperial City Palace are spacious enough, if it were some narrow places, it would not be easy to accommodate so many scholars to sit quietly at once.

Seeing these scholars sitting there obediently, the general breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment, a sharp voice came from the palace gate behind him: "General Zuo, what happened to these people, what happened to them?" ...they won't force their way into the imperial city, right?"

Zuo Yang was also the previous general. Hearing the voice inside the palace gate, he hurriedly said: "Inspector Hong, in Zuo's opinion, these people should not attack the imperial city for the time being, but such a big matter must be dealt with immediately." Tell Your Majesty, how to deal with it in the end, please Your Majesty's holy order."

Hong Dajian in the palace gate breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "It's fine if there's nothing to do, it's fine if there's nothing to do, I'll leave everything to General Zuo, our family will go to His Majesty Tong Bing now."

Qianqing Palace

With a plop, Li Huan and Zhu Houzhao, who were about to leave, clearly heard the sound of someone falling to the ground from outside.

Mixed with muffled groans and Qiu Ju and Gao Feng's scolding, Zhu Houzhao frowned and said to the outside of the hall, "What's the noise?"

The sound outside stopped abruptly, and then a voice said: "Your Majesty, the gatekeeper Hong Dajian said that he has something to ask to see His Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment and said, "Let him in."

Soon, I saw the rather embarrassed Supervisor Hong enter the hall, and then he prostrated himself on the ground and said to the emperor: "This servant has seen His Majesty and disturbed His Majesty. This servant deserves death."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Dajian Hong lightly and said: "You are not guarding at the palace gate, but you came to see me now, could it be that something happened at the palace gate?"

Supervisor Hong hurriedly explained what happened at the palace gate in detail. Although it was separated by a palace wall, it was not difficult for Supervisor Hong. He could be said to have witnessed those scholars being guarded by the emperor who guarded the imperial city. How Zuo Yang, the general of the city guards, passed by in awe.

Listening to Hong Dajian's narration, Zhu Houzhao's expression fluctuated. When he heard that those scholars did not make a fuss under the shock of Zuo Yang and the imperial city guards, but sat quietly in front of the palace gate honestly, the corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth twitched. There was a hint of disdain.

You must know that when Li Huan was discussing with him how to deal with these scholars, Zhu Houzhao was still a little worried about whether those scholars would make a fuss and even attack the imperial city.

But Li Huan expressed his conviction that the scholars of the Imperial College would never make a fuss.

If he was just a little skeptical before, then everything is as Li Huan said now.

Zhu Houzhao even clearly remembered Li Huan's deep disdain when he mentioned those scholars, but now Zhu Houzhao understood why Li Huan looked down on those scholars so much and firmly believed in them There can't be any disturbances anymore.

Supervisor Hong who was lying on the ground said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, those scholars are sitting quietly outside the palace gate at this moment, saying that if His Majesty does not listen to their wishes, they will never get up and leave."

When Zhu Houzhao heard the words, a cold look flashed in his eyes, he raised his head and smiled at Li Huan who was beside him, "What does Li Qing think?"

Li Huan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty makes his own decision, why ask Yu Chen!"

Seeing Zhu Houzhao stretching his waist, he shouted at Gao Feng and Qiu Ju who were guarding the door: "What are you doing in a daze, are you sleepy if you don't see me?"

Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and others who were guarding the gate clearly heard what Supervisor Hong said. When they learned that thousands of Imperial Supervisors gathered outside the palace gate, their hearts were in suspense. up.

When I thought that the emperor would order the mobilization of troops to disperse these people, he saw that the emperor didn't care, and even thought about going to rest.

For a moment, Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and the others were all stunned there.

When the emperor passed in front of them, several people came back to their senses and surrounded the emperor towards the direction of the apse bedroom.

The two servants stayed behind and subconsciously said to Li Huan, "Young Champion, I don't know you..."

Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "Take me to rest!"

It wasn't until this moment that Supervisor Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, realized it. Seeing that the emperor went to rest without giving orders, Supervisor Hong was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that Li Huan was about to leave again at this moment, Supervisor Hong immediately bowed to Li Huan and said, "Champion Lord, Champion Lord, what does your Majesty mean by this? Why can't the slaves understand? How to deal with it..."

Li Huan paused, glanced at Dajian Hong and said, "Your Majesty has his own ideas about those scholars, you just need to do your part and guard the palace gate for His Majesty."
