Li Huan bowed slightly to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, I really have evidence."

Zhu Houzhao, who was very angry at what Yu Fang and others said just now, was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Okay, since there is evidence, Li Qing will bring the evidence quickly so that they can take a look."

Zhu Houzhao said with a bit of anger: "It was obviously the Ming Dynasty frontier army that massacred two Tatar tribes, but in the end, because they did not bring back the bodies and heads of the Tatars, they were considered by you to have falsely claimed military merit.

, it’s simply ridiculous. Now that Li Qing has evidence, I want to see if you have anything else to say.”

Yu Fang, Chen Wei and others all stared at Li Huan, their eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

None of the soldiers on the three sides came up with any strong evidence, and they really didn't believe that Li Huan could come up with any evidence.

At least in their opinion, Li Huan was simply bluffing. Even after the initial surprise, several people were still curious about what evidence Li Huan could produce.

At this time, Li Huan said to Qiu Ju who was standing aside: "Brother Qiu, please go there in person and bring those people to the palace gate."

Hearing this, Qiu Ju smiled slightly, nodded towards Li Huan and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, we will go and take someone with you right away."

Just looking at Qiu Ju's expression, it was obvious that he was not surprised or surprised by Li Huan's actions, and seemed to know something.

Suddenly a glimmer of understanding flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes. He had previously sent Qiu Ju to Shaanxi to convey the order to Li Huan. If he calculated the time, it happened to be that Li Huan was returning from the grassland with his troops, and Qiu Ju was also with Li Huan.

Come back together.

Under such circumstances, few people knew better than Qiu Ju what Li Huan brought back from the grassland and what he brought back to Beijing.

Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang and others seemed to have thought of this, and couldn't help looking at Li Huan with strange expressions.

On the contrary, Li Huan stood there with a calm look, looking at Yu Fang, Chen Wei and others with a bit of disdain in their eyes.

Outside the palace gate, a dozen or so guards in golden robes were escorting several people. These people were none other than Aliha, the head of the Huli tribe who had colluded with the Tang family, and a dozen or so leaders of the Huli tribe.

When Li Huan ordered the Huli tribe to be massacred, Aliha and the leaders were lucky enough to escape. Li Huan did not kill these people, but took them back to the capital.

Originally, Li Huan didn't take these people seriously. The reason why he didn't kill these people was simply that Li Huan said that he wanted Aliha and others to see how Li Huan made Dayan Khan useless.

And return.

Last night, he learned that people from the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army were talking about the authenticity of the military achievements of the Bian Army. Li Huan has been thinking about how to deal with the doubts from the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army.

At that time, Li Huan thought of Aliha and others who were brought back to Beijing and almost forgotten by him.

Therefore, before Li Huan entered the palace, he ordered someone to take Aliha and others to wait outside the palace gate.

These people were even personally supervised by Chen Ke, a senior official of Jinyiwei.

Looking at the closed palace door, Chen Ke's face was filled with a smile, and he was obviously in a good mood.

He was worried at first, but when he learned that Li Huan had brought back Aliha and other leaders of the Huli tribe, Chen Ke knew that this time some people in the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army would be in trouble.

With a creak, the palace door opened, and a figure appeared.

Qiu Ju's eyes fell on Chen Ke, especially when he glanced at Aliha and the others standing there. Qiu Ju's lips showed a smile. Sure enough, as he thought, Li Huan will Aliha and others. Someone brought it here.

Seeing Qiu Ju, Chen Ke quickly saluted and said: "I have met Qiu, the supervisor."

Qiu Ju smiled slightly and said, "Take these people and follow our family to the palace to meet you."

Qianqing Palace, Imperial Study Room

The atmosphere in the imperial study was a little solemn, and everyone was waiting quietly. Not only Zhu Houzhao, but also Yu Fang and others were waiting for Li Huan to bring the so-called evidence.

However, Yu Fang and others were obviously panicking at this moment, especially when they saw Li Huan's calm and calm appearance, they felt increasingly unconfident.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Qiu Ju walked over and bowed to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, Aliha, the leader of the Huli tribe, and a dozen other leaders are all here."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he glanced at Li Huan subconsciously. Apparently, he did not expect that Li Huan would arrest a Tatar high-ranking member of a tribe of ten thousand people.

You must know that the Tatars on the grassland are extremely difficult to deal with, especially the high-ranking Tatars, who are even more difficult to catch. After all, if there is any sign of defeat, these Tatars will flee thousands of miles away, which makes people think Can't even catch it.

But now Li Huan actually captured the leader and leader of Hulibu. How can this not surprise people?

"impossible……"

Almost instinctively, Yu Fang and Chen Wei opened their eyes wide, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

They believed that Li Huan could lead his people to massacre a Tatar tribe, but when they thought, Li Huan could massacre most of the Tatars in Huli, but he would never be able to take down the high-ranking Tatars.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile and said: "Bring someone in."

Several Jinyi guards pushed Aliha and others into the imperial study. As more than a dozen people entered the imperial study, the originally spacious imperial study suddenly seemed a little crowded.

All eyes were directed at Aliha and others who were pushed in.

People like Aliha look like Tatars on the grassland at first glance, and coupled with the temperament exuded by these people, anyone who is not a fool can tell that these people have unusual identities.

When everyone was looking at Aliha and the others, Aliha and the others were also looking at the people in the imperial study room with the same curiosity.

Since being escorted into the capital, Aliha and the others seemed to have been dazzled by what they saw. They felt that the prosperity of the capital was far beyond their imagination.

Although they had heard on the grassland that the Ming Dynasty was a prosperous place, occupying the best place in the world, being the center of the world, and being worshiped by all nations.

But Aliha and others did not expect that Ming Dynasty would be such a prosperous scene. Especially when they were brought into the Forbidden City where the emperor lived, Aliha and others were really stunned.

The magnificent, solemn palaces and pavilions made them never dare to imagine that such a place existed in the world.

Just when Ali was still waiting for others to lose consciousness, Li Huan snorted coldly and said: "Bold Ali, when you see the emperor of tomorrow, why don't you pay your respects quickly."

Awakened by Li Huan's shout, Aliha and others focused their attention on Zhu Houzhao. When he saw Zhu Houzhao, Aliha was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing and said: "It turns out that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was just a A half-grown child..."

"Be bold!"

Li Huan raised his foot and kicked Aliha's knee. Suddenly, the sound of his knee breaking was heard, and then Aliha was heard screaming and kneeling on the ground.

The leaders were also startled. Before Li Huan could take action, they all fell to their knees one by one and said with a bit of fear: "I have seen His Majesty the Great Emperor."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Aliha who was screaming with interest. He didn't pay too much attention to Aliha's rudeness just now. Instead, he looked at Aliha and said, "Are you the leader of the Huli Department?"

The severe pain from his knees made Aliha's face covered with cold sweat. Hearing this, he gritted his teeth and looked up at Zhu Houzhao and said tremblingly: "I am Aliha, the leader of the Huli Department. If you want to kill me tomorrow, you can kill me."

, you Ming Dynasty actually slaughtered my Hulibu, my Khan will never give up."

At this moment, Yu Fang suddenly shouted: "Impossible, they absolutely cannot be the leaders of the Tatars..."

Obviously Yu Fang and others were a little panicked. If the identities of these people were confirmed, wouldn't everything they had done before be in vain, and wouldn't Li Huan's military exploits be confirmed?

Li Huan couldn't help but frown when he saw this. On the contrary, Aliha heard this and looked at Yu Fang and others with a bit of ridicule: "You actually doubt our identity, but it doesn't matter. Next year the Great Khan will lead my warriors on the grassland.

When we enter the Ming Dynasty, you will know who we are."

Li Huan nodded slightly to Chen Ke who was standing aside. He saw Chen Ke wave his hand and a package was thrown out. The package spread out and something came into view. It was a silver seal. The seal had a rather distinctive shape.

It is very strange, like a wolf looking up to the sky and roaring.

Li Huan said calmly: "Everyone, what is this? I think everyone should be familiar with it."

Li Huan's eyes swept over the officials present. At this time, when Yu Fang and others saw the silver wolf, they suddenly felt like deflated balls.

At this moment, Yang Tinghe stroked his beard and said slowly: "If Yang has not admitted his mistake, this should be a token specially cast by Dayan Khan who unified all the Tatar tribes and divided the heads of the tribes."

Li Huan glanced at Yang Tinghe and said calmly: "Yes, this silver wolf seal is the token of the leader of the Huli tribe. This token was given by Dayan Khan, which can prove the identity of these people."

As he spoke, Li Huan stared at Yu Fang and others and said: "Servant Yu, Minister Chen, what else can you say? Is the military merit of the Ming Dynasty border army slaughtering the Tatars Huli tribe and Heihe tribe true?"

Listening to Li Huan's question, Yu Fang, Chen Wei and others lowered their heads and did not speak. On the contrary, Aliha, who was holding back the severe pain, seemed to have heard some big joke and couldn't help laughing: "

I didn’t expect that there would be people in your Ming Dynasty who didn’t believe such a big thing as the massacre of my Huli clan, and even wanted to obliterate the military merits of those soldiers…”

Seeing Aliha's sarcastic look, Zhu Houzhao's expression turned gloomy and shouted at Yu Fang, Chen Wei and others: "Yu Fang, Chen Wei, you have disappointed me so much."

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice: "Publish my decree, remove Yu Fang, Chen Wei and others from their official positions, and send them to the Ministry of War. The Governor's Office of the Fifth Army will immediately make arrangements for rewards."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Wang Yangming, Liu Yu and others. He looked at Liu Yu and said: "Mr. Liu Ge, you will personally supervise this matter. You must make a decision in the shortest possible time. You must make a decision before the end of the year."

The reward will be distributed."

Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "I accept the decree."

Zhu Houzhao swung his sleeves and said, "If nothing happens, all of you and your family will be dispersed."

Everyone bowed to Zhu Houzhao and then slowly left the imperial study. Yu Fang, Chen Wei and other officials all looked lost.

Because the emperor ordered that their official status be removed, all their official uniforms, seals and other belongings were taken away. Therefore, when they entered the palace, they were still high-ranking officials, but when they left the palace, they were already like ordinary people.

generally.

The servants of each family who were guarding outside the palace gate were waiting in front of their own carriages. From a distance, they saw the palace gate open, and a group of officials headed by Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others came out.

When the servants saw this, they rushed forward with joy on their faces.

Chen Wei, Yu Fang and the other servants also had happy expressions on their faces. However, when they saw their master, they couldn't help but be stunned, with a look of astonishment on their faces.

What is going on? Where are all the official uniforms on my master's body? Why are they all dressed in white?

The housekeeper of the Yu Mansion stepped forward and whispered: "Master, what are you doing..."

Yu Fang and others could naturally feel the looks of the servants around them, and they felt ashamed and annoyed in their hearts. They couldn't help but secretly curse Li Huan.

After hearing the butler's words, Yu Fang gave him a cold look, walked directly into the carriage, and shouted in a deep voice: "Go home."

The other officials who had their official status removed also had a general reaction, and soon the palace gate returned to calm.

In the imperial city

Li Huan was retained by Zhu Houzhao. At this time, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan with a smile on his face and said: "I originally thought that if it didn't work out, I would directly issue a decree to reward the soldiers of the border army. I didn't expect that Li Qing, you would still stay like this."
