The housekeeper standing beside him looked at Li Shidao: "Sir, Chu Yi is so famous that he has slaughtered scholars more than once in Jiangnan. This time..."

Li Shi stroked his beard and looked at the butler lightly and said, "Do you want to say that Chu Yi is likely to start a massacre this time?"

The butler nodded slightly.

Li Shi sneered and said, "If Chu Yi doesn't start a big killing, then he will not be Chu Yi!"

The butler who had originally lowered his head could not help but look up at Li Shi when he heard this. He doubted whether he had heard it wrong.

You should know that all this is almost driven by Li Shi. Otherwise, based on Sun Jing'an, a scholar who has no prestige and no fame, would he be able to respond to the crowd after a shout? After all, it was not because of Li Shi.

I thought that my master was sure to push all this, Chu Yi would not start a massacre, so he asked someone to write to the emperor to try to create a sensation and put pressure on the emperor.

If this is the case, that would be fine. Even if it is impossible to confirm Chu Yi's attitude, if there is half the possibility, you can try it.

However, after hearing Li Shi's words, the housekeeper almost fell out of his eyes and looked at Li Shi foolishly.

Judging from Li Shi's meaning, it seemed that he could be sure that Chu Yi would not compromise this time, and would even continue to kill. If this is true, wouldn't it mean that anyone involved would lose his life?

Suddenly, the butler looked into the distance. In the courtyard, dozens of literati gathered together, including his own son Li Yi.

The housekeeper who felt cold sweat on his back subconsciously said to Li Shi: "Master, young master..."

Li Shi looked at the butler calmly and said, "If I don't have a son, how can I clear my suspicion and how can I win sympathy in the cabinet!"

"Can……"

Li Shi waved his hand and slowly stood up and said, "I have six sons and three daughters under my knees. For my son Li, I can bear it!"

Since Mo Qing was arrested and as Mo Qing's mentor, Li Shi has felt a great crisis. Mo Qing was promoted by him. Over the years, Mo Qing has been filial to him.

With Chu Yi's style of conduct, Li did not think that the other party would let him go easily, so Li Shi had to find a way to protect the Li family and at least retire safely.

A plan flashed through his heart, Li Shi looked back at Li Yi, who was joking with the scholars in the distance, and turned around and left with firm steps.

With the arrival of the day when Huang Huai and others were punished, the capital city was like a storm coming and wind filled the building, which made people feel quite depressed.

In order to avoid accidents, Dongchang and Jinyiwei strengthened their defense against Tianzhu. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will become a joke.

Fortunately, everything is safe and sound.

Chu Yi seemed a little busy these days. Yang Ting and leaving Beijing, so Chu Yi naturally had more trouble with many government affairs in the cabinet.

Leopard Room

Zhu Houzhao's mood seemed quite good, and even the eunuchs who served him had a little more smile.

On this day, a sedan chair stopped outside the leopard room. An old man with white hair walked out of the sedan chair and looked at the leopard room with a firm look flashing in his eyes.

The old man walked closer and bowed to the eunuch guarding the gate and said, "This father-in-law, please be Tongbing on his behalf. Li Shi asked to see Your Majesty!"

The eunuch quickly returned the tribute and said, "Gei Li, come and report to the emperor later."

Soon Li Shi entered the leopard room. When he saw Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao was practicing calligraphy there. Li Shi stepped forward and bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "My minister, Li Shi, pay homage to Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao put down the brush in his hand, wiped his hands and looked at Li Shi and said, "George comes, is there something wrong in the cabinet?"

Li Shi was mediocre and not very conspicuous among the several cabinet masters, but Zhu Houzhao still had an impression of them.

Li Shi knelt on the ground with a thud and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, the old minister is guilty!"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be stunned, looking at Li Shi who was crying bitterly in shock, and said with confusion: "Why is Mr. Li?"

Gu Dayong looked at Li Shi at this moment, coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Li, Your Majesty asks you, what do you mean!"

Li Shi wiped away his tears and said with a look of blame: "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to teach my son, Li Yi. What's wrong with this evil man? He actually learned someone to contact the Sir Jing, trying to jointly write to the emperor and impeach General Chu Yi..."

Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao's face became extremely ugly. The scholars jointly wrote a letter. In Zhu Houzhao's opinion, there was no difference between the direct advice of all officials. To put it bluntly, it was to use the so-called great title to suppress him, the emperor, and it was to force the palace.

No matter right or wrong, few emperors will like to be forced into palace by their ministers.

He saw Li Shi take out a list from his cuff, trembling hands, and hand it to Gu Dayong and said, "Your Majesty, please see, this is the list of the sergeant soldiers in Beijing who were united by the evil sons. After the old minister noticed it, he immediately brought the list to pay homage to Your Majesty."

Zhu Houguan looked at Li Shi with a self-blame look on his face, and felt that the other party was a little pitiful. The grandmaster actually had a miserable son like Li Yi.

After taking the list, he glanced at him and called Sun Jing'an the leader, and Li Yi was below him. There were even more dense names. After a look, there were almost nearly a hundred people.

Obviously, during this period, Sun Jingan and others contacted some people to join in.

If hundreds of literati write together, it will definitely cause trouble in the capital, especially when Huang Huai and others are about to be executed, even Zhu Houzhao has a string in his heart, fearing that something will happen in the capital.

Of course, what annoyed Zhu Houzhao the most was the act of forcing the palace by these people. It would be fine if all civil and military officials forced the palace, but he could not move the officials, but these scholars were nothing. When could a group of literary scholars force him, the emperor?

Li Shi lay on the ground, Yu Guang secretly watched Zhu Houzhao's expression change, and his heart couldn't help but hang.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty and the family is unfortunate. Come today. The old minister will not ask Your Majesty to spare Li Yi's evil son. I beg Your Majesty to let the old minister retire and return home. If you can collect the body for the evil son, the old minister will be grateful!"

Bang, bang, bang

Li Shi kowtowed, and in the blink of an eye, the skin broke and blood oozed out of his forehead. Zhu Houzhao was magnanimous. Seeing Li Shi like this, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped Li Shi up and said, "The Master of the Pavilion is my old minister. I already know that Li Yi's actions have nothing to do with the Pavilion Master. How could I make the Pavilion Master retire because of Li Yi? Otherwise, wouldn't I become a foolish monarch who doesn't understand right or wrong?"

"The old minister has no choice but to teach his son, so why should he keep his face in the cabinet? If Your Majesty really feels sorry for the old minister, let the old minister return to his hometown. The old minister will pray for His Majesty every day!"

As he said that, Li Shi knelt on the ground, prostrated himself to worship, and said resolutely: "If Your Majesty does not agree, I will kneel down forever!"

Zhu Houzhao frowned and looked at Li Shi. After a while, she sighed and said, "I understand what the meaning of your family means. You should get up first and let me think about it."

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Li Shi felt relieved. What he wanted was to escape safely and leave the whirlpool of the capital. Even if he had a son for this, as long as he could protect the Li clan, it would be worth it.

Watching Li Shi leave, Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on the list, and his face was extremely gloomy: "Gu Daban, am I too kind? These people are so bold. Don't they know that this is forcing the palace? How can I keep my face?"

Looking at Zhu Houzhao who was slapped on the table, Gu Dayong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, calm down, it's not worth it for a group of irrelevant people!"

After calming down his anger, Zhu Houzhao said, "Come to me to bring Chu's companion!"

Gu Dayong sighed in his heart. Judging from Zhu Houzhao's attitude, these literati were afraid that they would be in trouble!

Chu Yi rushed over immediately after receiving the call. Just after taking a look, Chu Yi was surprised. Isn’t Zhu Houzhao feeling very well these two days? Who has offended this emperor?

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Houzhao handed the list on the table to Chu Yi and said, "Look at it, these people are really angry!"

Chu Yi took over the roster with confusion, with hundreds of names on it, but there was nothing but the name. Even if he was in charge of the East Factory, he would not know everything.

At this moment, Gu Dayong coughed lightly and explained to Chu Yi in a low voice. After listening to Gu Dayong's explanation, Chu Yi understood why Zhu Houzhao looked angry.

After glanced at the list again, Chu Yi sneered with disdain at the corner of his mouth: "Why should your Majesty be angry with the same group of arrogant Confucian scholars? I killed wave after wave in Jiangnan. I thought it would give them a memory. It seems that I have not killed enough of the butcher knife!"

A stern murderous intent flashed from Chu Yi. Gu Dayong, who was standing beside Chu Yi, felt a chill all over and couldn't help but look at Chu Yi in awe.

In this capital, I'm afraid that this is the only one who dares to kill scholars so lightly.

Zhu Houzhao thought that Chu Yi did kill many scholars in Jiangnan, and his heart was also aroused by Chu Yi's words. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Zhu Houzhao said coldly: "The big companion is right. They thought this is the capital. You Da companion, so you dare not kill me so much, so you dare to despise me so much!"

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao said hoarsely, "Since that's the case, then kill me!"

It is conceivable how angry Zhu Houzhao was in his heart that he could have such murderous intent as a generous emperor.
