Chapter 314(2/2)

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhengdezheng and Princess Yongchun talking. Princess Yongchun said: "The emperor lives in the leopard garden and never goes back to the palace all day long. The emperor is sick and sometimes worse, and the imperial doctor has never improved. These days, my sister has also looked sick and depressed. She doesn't like what she likes to eat the most now, so the emperor doesn't know how to ask about it."

Liu Jin took advantage of her speech and quickly interrupted: "I have met the emperor and Princess Yongchun."

Yongchun ignored him, and Zhengde ignored him, Zhengde said: "Why, is Yumei sick?"

"It should be right. It's been three days and it was still fine. Suddenly I stopped talking and had no appetite for food. I summoned the imperial physician and said that the weather was getting colder and the wind and cold became cold, and even the cold air invaded and my appetite was lost. I prescribed medicine for my sister to condition it. But it didn't work."

Zhengde grew older and cared for his sister more. When he heard this, he immediately became concerned and stood up and said, "These waste imperial physicians, the Empress Dowager, are old and it is not easy to cure them after treatment. Why can't even cure Yumei's cold after being treated with a little wind? Let's take me to see it."

He glanced at Liu Jin. Thinking of the anonymous letter thrown on the table, he said angrily: "Liu Jin, you are in charge of two factories and one ward. Now I will issue an order to check it out for me. I will arrest this anonymous person to me and have a thirty stick in the court. Humph! The person who spoke is innocent, and no wise ruler cannot tolerate any ministers' advice. Now someone hides his head and leaves his tail and abandons the book and submits a memorial in anonymous way. It's really outrageous.

Once the anonymous "Miscellaneous Cambodia" winds, the ministers will attack each other, intrigue and form cliques, and the court will be ruined. Especially when the letter is captured, there is no basis, and there is also content involving you. Take a look at it yourself and you must find this person out for me!”

Liu Jin came here. He was just trying to secretly advise the local affairs. Liu Jin was best at scrutinizing others' psychology and knew how to please the emperor. What the emperor hated, then he hated something. The emperor felt that the ministers ignored him. Then our family understood him. How could the emperor not think that our family was close and close, and he was a close minister?

So he wanted to find out what the emperor was angry about, so as to show his understanding, bring closer relationships, and fight with the emperor. In short, if he stood in the same trench as the emperor, he would definitely not be in the wrong team.

Besides, he has to read the official documents of the six ministries and nine ministers first before he can take them back and deal with them. Who has become brave enough to dare to send anonymous letters without letting him read them first. Isn’t this going on the kang across the table? Do you all learn from him that the court still has rules?

Now that he heard that the secret Cambodia was involved, Liu Jin was shocked. He didn't dare to ask more questions in front of Princess Yongchun. He immediately sent the emperor away. Liu Jin rushed over and opened the secret Cambodia and took a closer look. This time, he was scared to sweat.

The secret remarks listed his ten major crimes, with beautiful writing and stern words. Among them, he embezzled public funds by using the opportunity of repairing the leopard garden, and hired hunters from Qingzhou, Shandong to catch tigers, but did not pay the debt to the deceased. The hunters carried the corpse to protest. He mobilized the army to suppress them forcibly, which made the public resentment, but reported that the emperor had already been kind to the city and appeased the people of Qingzhou's crime of deceiving the emperor.

These things are true, which naturally shocked and scared him, but it made him even more furious. He added taxes to Fujian and Sichuan and used punishments to replace the government orders of officials and rich gentry. This was a good way for him to work hard to find a way to increase the government for the court and increase income from the increasingly tight finances, and solve the problem of shortage of food and wages in the northwest border troops. He really had no selfishness at all, and he didn't even think about taking advantage of it.

"I'm just dedicated to the emperor and the court! These bastards are not capable, so they can't figure it out. They are very capable of finding faults. They are very capable of looking at our family all day long. The nose is not the nose, the eyes are not the eyes." Liu Jin felt innocent, wronged, and wronged, and the anger in his heart became more and more intense.

He knew that those court officials looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts, and were even more disdainful of him than the dead ghost Yang Ling. Who made him an eunuch? It was a congenital deficit. For those officials, no matter who lost or who won or lost in the political struggle, even if the opponent was a fool, a subordinate, an illiterate, a reckless man, and was heartbroken, he was not so unbearable. After all, he was of the same level as him, and he was a minister of the same dynasty, and was a man.

But what are those sarcastic slaves? The eunuchs, servants, and a group of men and women who are neither men nor women. They are pressed by eunuchs, just like a famous family who has been married to a local wife for generations, but they have fallen to the same level as the concubines who are from brothels. They also have to let her lead the family from time to time. Following her instructions: Is it tolerable, who is intolerable?

Now that there are more censors who have defected to Liu Jin, and their eyes and ears are becoming more and more proficient, he gradually knows what the scholars of the Hanlin Academy and the Inspectorate think of him. "Okay, I am corrupt, you sue me, okay! I accept bribes, you sue me, okay! Our family is trying our best to give the emperor a good idea, just because I thought it out, you sue me without any distinction. Still anonymous? OK!"

Liu Jin gritted his teeth and sneered: "I'm just a concubine or a bitch, what's wrong? The emperor spoils me, so you can go to sorrow! Today the emperor handed over this mission to me. Let's see how Grandpa Liu dealt with you, a group of shameless things!"

He put his secret advice into his sleeve with a pale face. The paper was ordinary paper, and the characters were obviously written on his left hand, twisted and twisted. Who can't get along with himself?

In addition to listing the ten major crimes in his own place, Mikali also listed six inappropriate mistakes in Yangling, such as violating the Ming Dynasty's policy of using the barbarians, "effectively" to appease and soften the country, and voluntarily attacked the country. For example, Yangling was promoted to Duke of the State, and was rewarded with great kindness. He was posthumously named Wencheng, the four-character posthumous title of Wude, and Lingjia's predecessors above all the ancestors and heroes of this dynasty, etc.

"It seems that it is not Yang Ling's remnant. Well.... Yang Ling's faction is now without a leader. Liu Yu was polite when he saw him yesterday. He was quite flattering. These people were trying to hold our thighs. Without Yang Ling, they would not have the courage to go against our family. They would say they were not afraid of death..."

A gloomy smile appeared on Liu Jin's face: "If you want to say that you don't know the current affairs, don't know the eloquence, and don't know how to advance or retreat, you are the only ones who are foolish and corrupt and pure and flowing."

He strode out of the Qianqing Palace and called the little yellow sect: "Are the ministers still waiting in the Golden Palace?"

Xiaohuangmen hurriedly said, "Yes, father-in-law, the emperor did not issue an order to retreat to the court. All civil and military officials had to wait in the Golden Palace, so they sent small land to promote the army."

Liu Jin gritted his teeth and smiled, and said sinisterly: "No need to urge you to go back immediately and tell all civil and military officials, and that the emperor issued an order to thoroughly investigate those who filed a secret and slandered ministers and spoke nonsense about politics. Our family will be ordered to arrive soon. We must wait for all civil and military officials in the Golden Palace!"

Seeing his ferocious face, Xiaohuangmen couldn't help but make a clever move. He quickly agreed and hurried back to the Jin Palace to report the news. Liu Jin called a guard hatefully and said, "Go quickly, ask Shi Wenyi to immediately lead the five hundred inner brocade guards and go to the Jin Palace to wait. Our family is ordered to ask the thief!"

The ministers were looking forward to the emperor returning to the court. When the little yellow gate rushed back, he opened his voice and said, "Transfer the imperial eunuch Liu, the chief minister of the Ministry of Li, thoroughly investigated the secrets of the Jin Palace, spoke nonsense, slandered the ministers, and had ill-behaved the civil and military officials, waiting for the Jin Palace."

The golden palace suddenly became quiet, and the officials speculated: "Slander the ministers and talk nonsense about politics? Who is this?"

"Oh..... It turns out that it is Eunuch Liu." As soon as he saw Liu Jin's face turned pale, his lips were pursed into a line, and his eyes were on fire. The officials suddenly realized that some people secretly breathed a sigh of relief and waited to watch the fun with a smile.

Liu Jin walked up to the hall step by step, stood in front of the throne in front of Mingqian, glanced around and raised the scroll of paper sinisterly, and said sharply: "Which adult's work is this?"

“…….”

"Hahaha, you dare not act like this, you are a man, so stand up for the man!"

The side was still quiet, but after a moment of silence, a stinging laugh suddenly came out. A eunuch was fighting with someone, and he dared to stand up straight and ask someone to be a man. Isn't that funny?

Liu Jin also reacted immediately, and his old face was stained with chicken blood. He saw the two little yellow disciples beside him, for fear that Eunuch Liu's face would explode with a "bang". The eunuchs with status, such as Liu Jin, were all men in the palace. He said he was used to it, and then he slipped out.

The biggest taboo in the hearts of eunuchs is their physiological defects. Some of them are extremely inferior and some regard them as such a huge taboo. Whoever dares to joke with him will dare to play with you. With Liu Jin's power and status today, how can he be ridiculed like this?

The laughter pierced into his heart like needles. Liu Jin suddenly burst into laughter three times and shouted: "Is it a punishment for not eating toasts? OK, then we will play with you. If you want to play, let's play in the big way!"

Shi Wenyi led two squads of Jinyiwei to rush to the Golden Palace with a "boom", glanced at the ministers with a swagger, bowed to Liu Jin, "Please give me the order!"

Liu Jin wiped his lips and said, "Please all the adults out and kneel under Fengtian's door until he finds the person who advises the letter, otherwise no one will leave."

"Abide by the order!" Shi Wenyi pressed the Xiuchun Knife with his hand and began to command the Jinyiwei to drive out the people. The ministers were shocked and angry, some of whom distinguished, some shouted for injustice, and some of whom were brave and cursed on the spot. Liu Jin felt more and more happy when he heard this, but he just sneered.

Shi Wenyi and Yang Yu were the leaders of the Jinyiwei who were in charge of the palace. They were originally Qian Ning's subordinates. Qian Ning went to the Nanjing Fufu Division, and Commander Shao took office. During his instigation, Liu Jin used both soft and hard work to recruit the two Jinyiwei Qianhu and became his lackeys and hawks.

In the current month, the wind is cold. Look at the weather. The lead clouds are dense, and the wind is gushing. Maybe the first snow will come soon. All the ministers are riding horses and sitting in sedan chairs. They take off their heavy clothes outside the Meridian Gate and take off their heavy clothes to their servants. They stand outside, it's cold!

"Everyone knelt down. Eunuch Liu was the emperor's will and was the imperial envoy for a special project. Who dared to resist the order?" The Jinyiwei shouted loudly.

Some officials knelt down shyly and angrily, and most of the arrogant and unmoved were pulled and persuaded by their colleagues and friends. Only two or three stubborn tempers were left and shouted: "Sir can be killed but not humiliated. If the emperor is not here, how can I kneel down to a eunuch?"

These two or three people were quickly dragged out by the Jinyiwei like a sorghum, and they were taken to a secluded place to enjoy special treatment. Li Dongyang's lips were trembling and he said tremblingly: "Eunuch Liu, all the civil and military officials in the court were kneeling outside the Fengtian Hall. How could this emperor be like this..."

Liu Jin was quite polite to him. He quickly smiled and said, "Our family was ordered by the emperor, otherwise who would be willing to offend so many adults? Lord Li, Lord Jiao, Lord Yang, you three are the chief ministers of the cabinet, and you stand at the front. There is definitely no suspicion in this matter. Please ask the three of you to stand by...Who, hurry up and see the three great masters."

After Liu Jin finished speaking, he turned around and walked up to the Dan Bi. He looked around with great might. The python robe was blowing with wind. It seemed as if the embroidered python was alive on the top. This feeling was really good.

Li Dongyang thought about the people going, and urged the emperor, but the eunuchs in the palace were afraid that Liu Jin would not have orders, so who would dare to act rashly? Bi Yun, the eunuch in the palace, felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly walked up to Danbi and whispered: "Eunuch Liu, you are standing here to interrogate all officials, this is not appropriate."

Liu Jin's cold was not healed yet, and when the wind blew, his snot flowed out again. He took out his handkerchief and wiped it, and asked, "What's wrong with this?"

Bi Yun is an honest and kind eunuch with a high rank and not inferior to Liu Jin. However, he is a father-in-law who is responsible for serving the Jin Palace. Although his position is high, he has no real power and no oil. Because he has no conflicts with Liu Jin and is an old man in the palace, Liu Jin respects him very much.

Bi Yun advised: "Eunuch Liu, all the officials knelt down at the Golden Palace, but the father-in-law stood on the Dan Palace as if he was treated as a courtesy. If he was impeached, it would be a crime of usurpation."

"Oh, it makes sense. What Eunuch Bi mentioned is that Liu Jin thanks you, thank you very much."

Liu Jin hurriedly walked down Danbi, ran to the porch on the east side of Fengtian Gate and stood, questioning the officials from the side. But no matter how he asked, he even smirked and said that as long as someone asked him to be recruited, he would not be investigated. No official nodded, and he hated Liu Jin so much that he simply asked someone to bring a chair, sat in the porch, holding a pot of hot tea in his hand: See who can resist whom!

It was almost two hours ago, and the people below were kneeling with sore waists and back pain, and their legs were numb. Someone couldn't support it, so they simply sat on the ground. Jiao Ge twisted his beard, lowered his head, raised his eyebrows slightly from the white-shaped eyebrows, narrowed his eyes into triangles, glanced at the crowd of ministers, and quickly withdrew his eyes: "Oh! Sin, sin! Who knew that Liu Jin was so angry, my colleagues......, cough cough, I'm really sorry."

Liu Jin was leisurely. When he heard Jiao Fang coughing, he turned around and smiled, "It's cold this day. Master is so old. If he catches a cold, it's not our family. Come and add a robe to the three adults and each brings a pot of hot tea."

Jiao Fang hurriedly said, "Thank you, Eunuch Liu, thank you, Eunuch Liu, although you have been ordered by the emperor to give him a first-rank official and have the highest position as a minister, and you have to kneel down under the orders of the king. But there is only one real murderer among the ministers, uh... the others are innocent. Look at the ministers, they are the six ministers, and they can't kneel up like this for a long time... Are you kind to me?"

Liu Jin glanced at him and looked back. He was getting angry now. He felt that it was a bit too domineering to let the six ministers kneel for so long. Besides, there were people inside. Liu Jin exclaimed and nodded, "It depends on the face of Jiao Ge. Come on, please ask the ministers to get up."

The clerks were helped aside, and an official from the inspector immediately became dissatisfied and stood up and shouted: "Eunuch Liu, the censor is not guilty. This is the mission of our inspector. There are so many people in the land that we have impeached, and there are many officials. I have never seen us use this method. How can we hide our heads and faces now? Our inspector is wronged."

Liu Jin touched his chin: "That's the reason. The censor made a memorial. If it is useful, it will be useful. If it is useless, it will be considered as a fart. No one has ever held the inspector's responsibility. What are they afraid of? Well... it must not be what they did."

"Okay, everyone from the Censorate should get up, retreat aside, take a break and leave, go whatever you need."

The ministers were in a state of turmoil, but Liu Jin kept saying that he had not allowed him to stand up and really got up. He had to be beheaded according to the order. The officials had to grit their teeth and endure it secretly and secretly looked at the three cabinet ministers.

The three of them sighed secretly, and were ashamed to avoid the eyes of the officials and looked towards the harem. Liu Jin was domineering, who could stop him? Unless the emperor rushed to hear the news, there would be no savior?

He came around and ran along the path of the fields. He rolled up all the wind and dust.

Scattered snow particles were already falling down. The knight immediately narrowed his eyes, his upper body tightly pressed against the horse's mane to avoid the wind. The horse was fast racing, and occasionally a village man in the field carried a hoe, but he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Behind, more than ten riders followed one after another. Because the track and field was narrow, it was difficult to ride both horses together. It was easy to collide and get injured when walking quickly, so each horse was more than ten feet apart.

Gao Laozhuang and Yang Mansion are holding weddings, and they are carrying weddings during the funeral. What should be done with this ceremony? The senior manager didn't know. Fortunately, the servant was in Sanggangou and invited Luo Huaman, a master who knew how to get married in ghosts. After Master Luo's guidance, the family did not need to be changed to a happy color. Everything follows the normal steps of getting married. The real key point lies in the talismans and spells of these ghost matchmakers. The senior manager then breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Luo Huaman is a fool. He really understands the steps and rituals of getting married, but it is the dead who gets married with the dead. He is at his mercy. In the end, he lies and lies, lifts up the woman's bones from the grave and reunites the man. Even if the work is done. As for the living and the dead, he has heard of it, and he doesn't understand this.

Although he didn't understand, he was brave. He was the only one who could get married in a ghost. He didn't understand. He was afraid that he would not be able to get a bunch of orphans and widows? The Yang family paid enough money.

Under his arrangement, Yang's mansion was covered with silver, with cigarettes storming in the mourning hall, and drums, chimes and bells and cymbals making crossings. Outside the gate, there were locks, and a red sedan chair, wearing red and colorful colors, surrounded by the family members to the outside.

Although the weather was bad and the wind was cold and fast, there were many people coming out to congratulate each other. Gao Wenxin was a local. Everyone’s surname was Gao, and they had some relatives. Some people who had received her kindness rushed for dozens of miles to come and congratulate.

There was a white horse next to the sedan chair, and there was a little scholar sitting at the ground, so handsome that the big girls and wives in the village saw him, and their eyes were blazing, and they wanted to swallow him in one bite. He was wearing a top scholar robe, a cap of the top scholar, and a big red flower on his chest. He was holding Yang Ling's tablet in his arms, but Tang Yixian, who was dressed as a man and married his wife.

"Stop and stop", Luo Huaman stammered and stopped the team, grabbed a handful of yellow rice from the bowl, looked at the sky and said in a long voice: "Yangling, Yangling, I know your reputation. The sky is high and the road is far. You go thousands of miles. My wife comes in. Where will the heroic spirit come to see~~~~"

"Wow, la la la la la la la la la la...", the copper ling in his hand had just shook a few times, and a yellow horse covered in dust rushed out of the diagonal thorn on the right. There was no straight road in front of the Yang family, and they all turned out from the right. At the beginning, Yang Hu and his wife were very anxious to ride a horse, but when they arrived there, they were a beautiful horse man standing up, and then they turned around.

The same was true for the horse knight. The horseman stood up, and the black smoke rolled under his feet, as if the horse was flying in the clouds and mist. Then the horse turned, and Xi Yuyu neighed a long time, and when he saw it, he had already arrived at the door and rolled up the large cloud of dust.

The men were furious and pushed away the gifts and surrounded them angrily. The people immediately stood up and stood up straight.

He was shocked when he saw the door blowing and beating, and there was a sedan chair next to him. He immediately said in horror: "I just died, and my body is not cold. Who is going to remarry?"

This sentence was so powerful that it stopped beating and horns. Everyone looked at him in a daze. A fellow who recognized Yang Ling suddenly found that the beard was stubborn, and the body was covered with gray soil. It seemed that the monster that had just emerged from the ground seemed to be the dead Duke of Wei. When he thought of the words he had just said, he suddenly screamed shrillly: "Ghost!"

At that moment, 70% of the people left, 10% were shocked, and 20% were slow to react. The men unsheathed their swords and were trembling. Yang Ling ignored them. He suddenly found that the boy on the white horse opposite looked familiar. He looked at him carefully and couldn't help but laugh: "Yixian?"
