Liu Quan waved his hand and did not embarrass the soldiers of the three battalions, turned to get into the carriage, and said to the horseman: "Go home." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

At this time, Liu Quan knew better than anyone else that the emperor he was serving now was cold-blooded and resolute, there was nothing he didn't dare to do, there was nothing he couldn't do, and Liu Quan, who gradually calmed down in his heart, sat in the carriage, thinking about the impact of the three battalions of soldiers entering the Beijing division on the current situation.

Today's court meeting, the emperor has had a contradiction with the Donglin Party represented by Zhou Yanru, and was in the upper hand in the first confrontation, in the past, Wei Zhongxian was able to press the Donglin Party to fight, stepping on the blood and corpse of the Donglin Party to achieve a high position, the biggest reason is that the people of the Donglin Party are not doers, they are all planning the Taiping world of the Ming Dynasty, and for this purpose they dedicate their superb wisdom to think about the future, but how can they really realize the political aspirations of the world Taiping, But Wei Zhongxian is essentially different from them, Wei Zhongxian is a doer, although some means can not be elegant, but it is easy to use, at least in the years when Wei Zhongxian was in power, the situation of the Ming Dynasty is much better than that of Chongzhen, and the current emperor Zhu Youzhen has many similarities with Wei Zhongxian, Liu Quan understands that he is already Zhu Youzhen's cronies, and he can only go all the way to the black on the road to support him, and help Zhu Youzhen completely step on the Donglin Party into the abyss, never turn over, if it is successful, A lifetime of glory and grace, or failure, and a different head, because Zhu Youzhen is the emperor, he can't pay for his mistakes, and he can only kill a few ministers to prove that he already knows his mistakes.

in a teahouse.

Li Shichao sat opposite Shi Huai'an, and the two of them drank tea from each other.

"Li Gongzi, you don't need to hide it from me, you are a member of the yamen." Shi Huai'an put down the teacup in his hand and said straight to the point.

Li Shichao laughed twice and said: "Brother Tai, you are right, I am from the yamen, and I only listen to the emperor's words." ”

Li Shichao knew that Shi Huai'an had long doubted his identity, of course, Li Shichao didn't want to hide Shi Huai'an, if he didn't make it clear to Shi Huai'an, Shi Huai'an would never dare to make the next move, at this critical juncture, Emperor Zhu Youzhen needed Shi Huai'an's next move.

"Just listen to the emperor's words, could it be that Li Gongzi is a brocade guard?"

"Yes."

"Then our affairs are not clear to the emperor."

"Yes."

"What does the emperor think?"

"The emperor once said that there are not many ambitious and far-sighted scholars like you, and if there is an appropriate time, he will meet you." Li Shichao knows a truth, if you want the horse to run, you must make the horse clear that the grass in front of you is very rich, which can be regarded as a kind of commitment from Li Shichao to Shi Huai'an.

"We're going to go to Guozijian to make a big fuss at noon today."

"You can rest assured, the government will never ask, even if you ask, the soldiers in the city will stop it, and this farce will become the emperor's most powerful weapon against those pedantic officials in the court." Li Shichao stared at Shi Huai'an tightly and said word by word.

Shi Huai'an smiled: "The Ming Dynasty must change, do not change the law, can only go to decay step by step, we scholars should take the world as their own responsibility, never give up, I think, let the government intervene, it is best to arrest all of us, torture and interrogate, so that the emperor can use it more easily." ”

"What the little brother admires the most are those who are dedicated to the country's scholars, brother Tai does this, let the little brother throw himself to the ground, I will not let you suffer in vain." Shi Huai'an's words made Li Shichao very moved, because the arrest of hundreds of scholars, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, have never been, this will cause protests in Beijing, and even the whole country, when the time comes, the position of the Donglin Party's justice has also become precarious, the politics are clear, the people they have no own tendencies, all they need is guidance, if this incident becomes a bloody incident, then public opinion and justice will fall to Zhu Youzhen, who is the master of the scholars, if at that time, there are still people who oppose it, Then Zhu Youzhen will not be so restrained when he starts to do things.

Shi Huai'an picked up the petition signed with the name of the scholar from the chair next to him and handed it to Li Shichao, Li Shichao hurriedly got up and caught it with both hands: "Brother Tai is righteous, little brother admires." ”

Shi Huai'an smiled and didn't speak, got up and left.

After Li Shichao watched Shi Huai'an leave, he didn't dare to delay, went to the street, and rode directly on his fast horse to the deep palace, because the soldiers of the three battalions entered Beijing, although the court did not issue an order of martial law, there were not many pedestrians on the street.

After arriving at the deep palace, Li Shichao got off the horse and trotted into the gate, the forbidden army blocked the way, Li Shichao took out the hand card of Jinyiwei from his arms, and said that he wanted to enter the palace to see the emperor.

Even if it is Jin Yiwei, he can't enter the palace to see the emperor at any time, of course the forbidden army does not allow it, Li Shichao of course also knows that his approach is a little unruly, in fact, he should go to find Luo Yangxing first, Luo Yangxing entered the palace to see, offered a letter of request, and entered the palace to see the emperor alone, there is no selfishness at all, because Luo Yangxing has a lot of things today, and now he doesn't know where he is, if he goes to find Luo Yangxing, he will definitely miss a big event, and he can only come to the palace alone to meet the emperor.

"This eldest brother, we are all working hard for the emperor, I have something in my hand that the emperor needs very much now, you go to the palace to find a eunuch and let him go and tell Wang Chengen the prince first, just say that Li Shichao, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, will meet the emperor and have heavy things handed over to him." Li Shichao's tone was a little fast, and his expression was very flustered.

The forbidden army guarding the door didn't want to embarrass Li Shichao, waved his hand and let a forbidden soldier come over, and asked him to report it, after the forbidden army entered the palace, he went to the Yangxin Palace to find a eunuch and asked him to look for Wang Chengen, saying that there was a person waiting to meet the emperor outside the palace gate, this little eunuch didn't dare to be careless, and hurried to find Wang Chengen.

At this time, Wang Chengen was in the ceremonial supervisor, at this juncture, Wang Chengen also became busy, the little eunuch came to report that Li Shichao wanted to meet the emperor, Wang Chengen was shocked, in fact, the name Li Shichao is not unfamiliar to Wang Chengen at all, he often heard Luo Yangxing mention, and he had seen it once or twice at the banquet, and felt that he was a capable young man, at this juncture he came to meet the emperor, there must be something important to report, and immediately let the little eunuch take his own seal to take Li Shichao to the Qianqing Palace, I also packed up my things and went to the Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen was in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen's heart is very calm now, no matter what the chaos outside the palace looks like, he is enjoying the rare peace in the Qianqing Palace.

After a while, the silence was broken, Wang Chengen pushed the door and entered the main hall, saw Zhu Youzhen sitting on the dragon chair, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Li Shichao, a thousand households in Jinyiwei, asks to see you." ”

"Li Shichao, is it the Qianhu who handled the case in Luoyang?"

"Yes." Wang Chengen said respectfully.

"Let him in."

"Yes." Wang Chengen took a few steps back, then turned around and shouted, "Xuan Li Shichao." ”

At this time, Li Shichao, who was already waiting outside the door, heard the voice, hurriedly tidied up his clothes and entered the main hall.
