Before Qiao Ping could speak, Li Huan bowed his hands to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have just captured the traitors Song Jing, Xue Yi, Peng Guang, Geng Li and other officials, and sent them to the Jinyi Guard Prison. It's a little late, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

As soon as Li Huan said these words, many officials looked surprised.

Song Jing, Geng Li, Peng Guang, Xue Yi, aren't these people from the Sansi Yamen, the people responsible for trying Liu Jin's rebellion case? According to Li Huan, Song Jing and others were also involved in the rebellion. This major case has even been taken down by Jin Yiwei.

But with such big news, why didn't they hear anything about it beforehand?

Qiao Ping was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing. He looked at Li Huan in disbelief and suddenly said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, have you seen that the Jin Yiwei framed Zhongliang..."

Li Huan glanced at Qiao Ping indifferently and sneered: "Your Majesty, I suspect that Qiao Ping, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, has close contacts with Song Jing and is suspected of being a party member. I ask your majesty to allow me to capture Qiao Ping." , strict investigation and interrogation.”

Hearing this, Qiao Ping couldn't help but open his eyes wide, pointed at Li Huan and said tremblingly: "You...you are so slanderous!"

In fact, when Qiao Ping jumped out to impeach Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel disgusted with him. This man was the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and his duty was to impeach others and supervise the integrity of all officials.

However, Qiao Ping did not impeach those officials who clearly had ulterior motives, but instead stared at Li Huan like mad dogs. Liu Jin and others refused to let him go. It was better not to have such an inspector-general.

After listening to Li Huan's words, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "I have said that regarding the major case of rebellion against me, I will leave it to your Jin Yiwei to handle it. No one involved needs to ask me for permission, from the princes to the common people. Li Qing can behead him first and then play."

Li Huan bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The officials around him just realized what they were doing. They all looked at Li Huan, who was wearing a flying fish robe, with frightened eyes. From what the emperor said, it seemed that the case of the emperor's assassination had been handed over to Li Huan for strict investigation. How could this not let some people know? People are afraid.

Especially the emperor actually gave Li Huan the right to kill first and report later. Li Huan, who was as lawless as a madman, had such power, how could they survive?

One of the officers stood up and said loudly, almost instinctively: "Your Majesty, this is not allowed..."

Li Huan glanced at the other party lightly and said with a smile: "I think this gentleman is also Song Jing's ally!"

Seeing Li Huan so blatantly accusing himself of treason, Na Ge almost went crazy and loudly said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, have you seen it? Li Huan framed Zhongliang..."

Li Huan was seen bowing to Zhu Houzhao, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Here comes someone!"

The next moment, a team of Jin Yiwei appeared around. Chen Yao, dressed in the robe of Jin Yiwei Baihu, strode up and bowed to the emperor first, and then said to Li Huan: "Master Commander, my subordinates are here!"

Li Huan pointed at Qiao Ping and that man and said, "These two are all associates of Song Jing. Take them to the imperial prison and interrogate them strictly."

Hearing this, Chen Yao waved his hand and saw several Jinyi guardsmen stepping forward with excitement on their faces. They picked up Qiao Ping and the soldier and dragged them outside.

Qiao Ping couldn't help shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, I am wronged, I am wronged..."

As for the man, he was so frightened that he didn't react until he was dragged several feet away. However, the man was not begging for mercy, but was yelling at Li Huan.

"Li Huan, traitor, you have to die..."

All civil and military officials were dumbfounded as they watched such a ridiculous scene unfold in front of them.

Qiao Ping and the accomplice who were involved in the incident could not guarantee whether they were Song Jing's accomplices, but the attitude Li Huan showed at the meeting made many officials' hearts sink.

Especially since the emperor allowed Li Huan to do whatever he wanted, couldn't it be said that the emperor was not afraid of provoking resistance from the officials?

Mr. Chief Assistant, Mr. Yang Ge, why didn’t the Chief Assistant and Mr. Yang Ge speak?

Suddenly, many officials thought of Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang, and couldn't help but cast their eyes on Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang.

However, the two of them seemed to turn a blind eye to what Li Huan did, and did not even react at all.

Zhu Houzhao watched with cold eyes, seeing the reactions of all the officials in his eyes, with a sneer on his lips.

When his eyes fell on Li Huan, he couldn't help but smile a little, and said slowly: "Since Li Qing is here, let's join the queue."

Li Huan nodded and immediately stood in the front row of the military ministers, standing with the group of nobles.

When they saw Li Huan, Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu, Chen Jizu, Xu Guangzha and others, they all nodded towards Li Huan and showed kind smiles.

They had personally experienced the rebellion last night, and they knew better than anyone else Li Huan's status in the emperor's mind.

Anyone who is not a fool knows that what they have to do at this time is to do everything possible to build a good relationship with Li Huan, instead of trying to impeach Li Huan like Qiao Ping, the censor of Youdu just now, and ended up getting themselves involved.

If he is involved in a treason case, he will die if he doesn't die. What's more, in such a major treason case, he would rather kill the wrong person than let it go, even if Qiao Ping is really not involved, but if Li Huan is willing, he can do whatever he wants.

You can put a crime on him.

Not to mention a censor of Youdu, at this time, Li Huan accused a prince of treason, and the other party had no choice but to confiscate his family and exterminate his clan.

After Li Huan made such a fuss, many officials felt anxious and looked at the emperor on the imperial steps in shock and fear, as well as Li Huan, who was standing among the nobles and talking in low voices with several nobles.

They knew that the emperor valued Li Huan, but when Li Huan became the commander of the Imperial Guard, the emperor's trust and attitude towards Li Huan must have been too abnormal.

And those nobles, didn't they always keep things unrelated to themselves in the court, just like decorations? Why were they so close to Li Huan, and even their closeness had a hint of flattery?

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The power of these nobles is gone, and only a little bit of arrogance is left. They usually hug each other to keep warm. Even when facing a few pavilion elders, they don't have a good look. Even if Li Huan becomes

The commander of the Jinyi Guards, these nobles would not put down their arrogance to please Li Huan.

Zhu Houzhao looked around at the ministers and said, "Don't you have anything to report?"

No one dared to come forward before, but Li Huan made such a fuss that it became even more unclear about the emperor's attitude. Who dared to come out at this time?

It was at this time that Li Huan, who had just entered the queue of courtiers, suddenly stood up and bowed to Zhu Houzhao with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded when he heard this and said, "What's the matter with Li Qing?"

Li Huan strode forward and walked to the imperial steps. Then he turned around and his eyes fell on the courtiers.

Seeing Li Huan's actions, many officials felt something bad in their hearts.

Especially some officials who knew exactly what happened could not help showing a bit of bitterness on their faces.

Li Huan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have interrogated Feng Hai, Mao Ji, Geng Li, Peng Guang, Chen Ju and others overnight. Based on the accounts of these people, it has been determined that dozens of officials are involved in the major case of murdering Your Majesty."

With such a bang, all the civil and military officials present felt that their heads almost exploded.

A major treason case involving dozens of officials.

For a moment, even those with an open mind feel chilled all over. Even though the bright sunshine is shining on them, they still feel like they have fallen into an ice cave.

That was a major treason case. Even though Li Huan said that there were dozens of officials confirmed, many officials knew that this was just the beginning. Maybe it would be an unprecedented major case.

Think about it when Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case were all handled as major treason cases. Each case involved tens of thousands of people, and I don’t know how many.

An important minister was killed in a major rebellion.

That's all for other cases, but if it involves a major treason case, especially a major case like assassination of the emperor, it would be strange if it didn't kill everyone with their heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers.

When Zhu Houzhao heard Li Huan say that there were dozens of officials who had been interrogated alone, his eyes immediately turned red. He took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart so that he would not lose his composure. Even so, his voice was still a bit hysterical.

He said: "Who is there?"

Li Huan glanced at everyone, and almost everyone shrank their necks in fear, fearing that their names would be called by Li Huan.

If anyone's name comes out of Li Huan's mouth at this moment, it is equivalent to being on the list of the Lord of Hell, and it is the kind where all nine clans in the family are on it.

Then I heard Li Huan say slowly: "Kang Ren, Minister of the Ministry of War, let me ask you, Li, who approved the troop transfer document from the Ministry of War that Fei Hong brought to Feng Hai, and who stamped it with the seal of the Ministry of War?"

Kang Ren fell to the ground with a pop, his forehead covered with cold sweat, and he kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me, I really don't know how the traitor Fei Hong obtained the troop deployment documents."

Just looking at Kang Ren's reaction, even if the Ministry of War deployment document was not written by him, he, Kang Ren, was the Minister of the Ministry of War. It was obvious that Kang Ren could not escape the blame for such a major treason case.

Seeing Kang Ren's appearance, Zhu Houzhao felt inexplicably angry. He flicked his sleeves and shouted at the Jinyi guards around him: "Take Kang Ren down for me."

Immediately, Kangren was dragged out by two royal guards. The officials were trembling, and Kangren's shrill pleading voice was still echoing in their ears.

Li Huan's eyes were patrolling among the ministers. Suddenly, Li Huan's eyes fell on one of them and said: "Wuding Bohou Sheng..."

After Li Huan finished speaking, he saw a figure among the nobles suddenly pounce on Li Huan. To be precise, it should be pounce on the emperor Zhu Houzhao.

Naturally, many officials were stunned when they saw this sudden change. It was obvious that the person who made the sudden revolt was none other than Wuding Bohou Sheng, whose name was named by Li Huan.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and other nobles could not help but change their expressions, and almost instinctively shouted to protect them.

But Zhu Houzhao stood on the imperial steps and looked at Hou Sheng who was rushing towards him. There was no worry or fear in his eyes, only deep disdain and pity.

Hou Sheng's reputation among the nobles is quite high, especially because his cultivation is not bad. Among many nobles who have almost forgotten the family knowledge passed down by their ancestors, he can definitely be regarded as one.

Outstanding.

It's a pity that although his strength looks good, it still depends on who he is compared with.

Li Huan was standing under the imperial steps in front of Zhu Houzhao. If he wanted to get close to the emperor, he had to go through Li Huan first.

Seeing Hou Sheng pounce on the emperor, Li Huan punched him directly.

Hou Sheng had never seen Li Huan take action, so he certainly didn't know Li Huan's details. It could even be said that he didn't take Li Huan into consideration at all.

His attention was almost all on the emperor. Seeing that the emperor didn't even have the intention to dodge, Hou Sheng's eyes flashed with joy.

If he could capture the emperor, he might not be able to take the emperor hostage and escape from the capital.

But the next moment, a strong wind came, and Hou Sheng subconsciously waved his fist towards Li Huan.

With a click, a sound of broken bones was heard, and then Hou Sheng was punched out by Li Huan and fell heavily to the ground, with a shrill scream coming from his mouth.

Two Jinyi guards immediately stepped forward and locked Hou Sheng up with shackles.

From Li Huan calling Hou Sheng's name, to Hou Sheng violently trying to attack the emperor, to being severely injured by Li Huan's punch and being captured, all of this was just a dozen breaths away.

By the time the officials reacted, Hou Sheng had even been neatly dragged away by the Jin Yiwei.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, okay, you are really a good minister of the Ming Dynasty. My dear uncle actually participated in the conspiracy and his deeds were exposed. He did not want to repent, and even wanted to attack me. His heart is so vicious.

"

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao glanced at the civil and military officials coldly and then said to Gu Dayong on the side: "Gu Dayong, you have written it down for me. Wuding Bohou Sheng has a very vicious heart and has a special purpose to punish his ten clans.
To be continued...
