Zhang Lizhen went to ask Zhang Yan, but Zhang Yan did not agree to go out with her. Today she felt a little depressed. After talking to her sister for a few words, she let her go on her own.
Zhang Lizhen returned to Qianqing Palace and found Huang Xiao. Huang Xiao was talking to Wei Zhongxian at this time. Zhang Lizhen did not enter and was waiting outside.
Huang Xiao smiled and greeted Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian went out to prepare.
"Are you done?" Zhang Lizhen walked in and asked.
Huang Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking, today is not a good day, it is not suitable for everything, it seems that he can't go out.
Accompanied by more than a dozen imperial guards assigned by He Biao, Huang Xiao and Zhang Lizhen rode in separate sedans. Not far after leaving the Qianqing Palace, Zuo Guangdou came over sweating profusely.
"Mr. Huang, is this Mr. Huang?" Zuo Guangdou shouted loudly.
Huang Xiao opened the sedan curtain, walked down and said, "It's me, Mr. Zuo, what's the matter?"
Zuo Guangdou stepped forward quickly and said hurriedly: "The courtiers want to petition Your Majesty to impeach Mr. Huang because of Tianjin Wei and other matters. They are coming here now. Mr. Huang will stay away for a while and report to Your Majesty quickly." .”
Huang Xiao smiled calmly and said: "It doesn't matter, of course I have a way to make them come and go! Are these so-called clean streams really asking for life for the people? What a joke. I am too lazy to pay attention to them, but it doesn't mean that I can't deal with them. them!"
Zuo Guangdou was in awe and said worriedly: "Sir, you should be more careful. At this time of internal and external troubles, if you can avoid being sharp for a while, you can avoid arguing with them."
Huang Xiao said coldly: "Slaves invaded the borders, domestic disasters continued, the people were in dire straits, and the land of China was devastated! These ministers do not want to save the people, relieve the country's worries, and share your majesty's worries!
Now, at this time, they are gathering to force the palace for their own selfish interests! This happened because of me, how can I avoid it! Thank you very much, Zuo Yushi, for informing me. Don’t worry, Your Majesty is not a foolish king, and I, Huang Xiao, am not an ignorant person! "
When Zhang Lizhen saw Huang Xiao walking down, she quickly came over to help him.
Huang Xiaodao: "Zhen'er, I can't go with you to preside over the affairs of Zhenbao Pavilion today. There's something going on in the palace, so you should go back first!"
Zhang Lizhen hesitated and said, "Well, take care of yourself and don't get angry with those ministers. They don't understand you. I will always support you!"
In the past, Zhang Lizhen would not have left so quickly, but now she obeyed Huang Xiaoyan.
Zuo Guangdou said: "I also support Mr. Huang!"
Huang Xiao smiled and said: "Thank you for your support, Mr. Zuo! Now that your majesty has a headache, you can no longer worry about these troubles. I will go and meet them!"
He said to the imperial guard: "Go and notify He Biao, send more people over, and come with me to block those ministers out!"
A guard rushed away.
Huang Xiao sat back in the sedan, ordered the sedan to get up, and headed forward.
Not far from Qianqing Gate, I saw a large group of officials surrounding Zhu Youjian coming towards Huang Xiao.
"Go over and block them! We can't let them move forward. Don't bother Your Majesty to rest!"
Huang Xiao gave an order, and the sedan speeded up, and soon blocked the group of ministers, more than 400 meters away from Qianqing Gate.
Li Chunye and other ministers saw this soft sedan from a distance. They came very quickly. When they got closer, they saw Zuo Guangdou not far behind the sedan, and saw more than ten imperial guards guarding it. Everyone immediately knew Yes, it must be Huang Xiao in this sedan chair.
Huang Xiao's sedan blocked everyone's way so brazenly, it was extremely arrogant!
The ministers suddenly became even more angry!
During the ceremony, Liu Mao strode forward and shouted: "Who is in the sedan chair? Why are you running so fast in the palace? According to the law, you should be punished with a rod at thirty!"
Huang Xiao opened the sedan curtain, glanced at the ministers, and said to the sedan bearer: "Lift up the curtains."
The bearer hung up the sedan curtain as instructed, and the left and right sides and front were suddenly clear. The cool breeze blew, and Huang Xiao suddenly felt refreshed.
Liu Mao was ignored by Huang Xiao. He was so angry that he strode forward and pointed at Huang Xiao.
"Huang Xiao, you are a white lady. Why don't you get off the sedan chair when you meet our ministers? You are walking quickly in the palace, as per the law..."
Huang Xiao waved his hand impatiently and said: "I am a marquis given by your majesty personally. I didn't ask you to wait to see me. That's how generous I am!"
Liu Mao said angrily: "The process of your knighthood is still in operation in our Rites Department. If it is not approved, you will be just a white knight! And this title is illegal. I will report it to the cabinet to refute this reward."
"what ever!"
Huang Xiao said lightly: "I can't get off the sedan due to injury. It's not rude. Ministers, you are on duty now. If you don't go to work, what are you doing here? You are absent from work collectively. Humph, this If you keep preaching the law and don't know how to be absent from work, how much punishment should you receive?"
Zuo Guangdou said loudly: "Be absent from work without any reason, and you will be punished with twenty rods!"
All the ministers glared at Zuo Guangdou!
Huang Xiao said with a smile: "There are so many people, everyone comes for 20 yuan, it is quite spectacular!"
Liu Mao snorted and said: "We are serving the country and the people, and we are here to petition Your Majesty. Please don't let Your Majesty be deceived by evil spirits. How can we be considered absent from work without reason!"
Huang Xiao's eyes moved slightly, "Oh? I've been with His Majesty a lot recently. How come I haven't seen anything evil?"
Just as Liu Mao was about to say something, Li Chunye stepped forward impatiently and said, "Huang Xiao! You are such a treacherous person! Let me ask you, did you instruct your slave Liu Ping to lead the evil slaves of Dahuang Village to Wei Shan in Tianjin?" Do you agree with the killing of officials and greed for money and land?"
Huang Xiao sneered: "So what! First, Liu Ping has been named Governor of Tianjin by His Majesty. He is an official in the same court as you and others. He is not my slave, Huang Xiao!"
Secondly, the soldiers and horses led by Liu Ping have been accepted by His Majesty as the emperor's personal army! If you slander the Emperor's soldiers as evil slaves, you are implying that His Majesty is an evil person! These are the words and deeds of a highly treasonous and unethical person! "
"Come here, pull me down and give me twenty sticks to serve as a warning to others!"
All the ministers were shocked!
What a sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued sycophant!
Huang Xiao actually wanted to punish a minister in public for this!
"How dare you! I am Li Chunye, Minister of War! How dare you insult me!"
Huang Xiao laughed out loud and said: "Before everyone comes up to argue, it is best to apply for official positions first. To be honest, I don't know any of you! I don't want to know either!"
The ministers were furious!
Huang Xiao continued: "However, this Li Shangshu, does he think that because of his high official position, he can be exempted from liability? That is a wishful thinking!"
He said to the guard beside him: "What? My words don't work?"
More than ten guards looked at each other and froze on the spot!
Huang Xiao was angry. If he were surrounded by two battalions, A and B, he wouldn't be like this!
Li Chunye laughed loudly and said: "Who do you think you are? You are just a lucky little person next to His Majesty, but you really take yourself seriously. Let me see who dares to touch me today!"
All the ministers were laughing.
Zuo Guangdou was furious when he listened!
Huang Xiao calmed down, kept a calm expression on his face, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I'll let you be wild for a while, and you will cry later!"
The officials felt that Huang Xiao was bluffing, and Li Chunye sneered: "Okay, I want to see how you made me cry!"
