Chapter 488: Arrogant and domineering
After planning for a long time, success or failure is here, Liu Jin cannot allow any variables.
So Liu Jin began to hate Qin Kanla.
The day after Li Dongyang and Zhu Hui fought, shocking news came from the capital. Zhang Gan, the right deputy censor, was stabbed to death in the study room of the mansion last night. He was killed by six stabs, and a fatal stab penetrated into the heart.
The second year of Zhengde seemed to be a troublesome autumn, one wave was not quiet, and one wave was rising again and again.
The case of Hua Chang's family killing has not yet been concluded, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Gan was stabbed again.
The ministers were showing signs of calmness and suddenly became angry, and this anger was even more intense than Hua Chang's death.
People's eyes were involuntarily staring at Qin Kan.
As we all know, in the case of Hua Chang's family destruction, Zhang Gan was the one who asked Zhu Houzhao to severely punish the murderer. A few days later, he was stabbed to death in the mansion. If it were not for Qin Kan's envoy, they would not believe it.
No one thought carefully about the mystery behind this matter. Qin Kan, who is at the center of the storm, is in a difficult time. How could he dare to take the blame for the world and instruct his subordinates to stab Zhang Gan to death? Who would like to slam the shit basin on his head?
However, with preconceived ideas, the ministers did not think that Qin Kan was strange about doing this. Qin Kan's reputation in the court was not good, and civil officials regarded him as a treacherous slander. What kind of arrogant things can't be done? Liu Jin has killed so many ministers in the past two years, and has killed so many methods. What are he concerned about? Since Qin Kan and Liu Jin are treacherous slander of the same level, what do he need to worry about when stabbing Zhang Gan to death?
One thing, two conclusions. Logically, it works.
He killed his political enemies after he said he could kill him. The Ming Dynasty had been established for more than a hundred years. How could he have ever been such a cruel and domineering person? Ji Gang, a famous treacherous minister during the Yongle period, dared not be so blatant when dealing with political enemies.
This time, without waiting for Liu Jin's gangsters to incite, the ministers spontaneously gathered, and the number of ministers kneeling outside Chengtian Gate increased greatly, with more than 200 people. Their purpose was very simple, Qin Kan must die! They would never allow anyone who could kill them anytime and anywhere to live.
Under Liu Jin's plan, the call for Zhu Houzhao to severely punish Qin Kan finally reached its peak.
The rich sandalwood lingers in the Sili Supervisory Bureau. The slightly old house does not look like the power center of an empire, but has a bit of the smell of a Buddhist temple.
However, the people sitting in the Silijian neither abstain from killing nor vegetarian food, and they still save many lives under their hands.
Liu Jin was the chief seal of the Sili Supervisor. All major events that occurred in the Ming Dynasty required him to make a decision. He could not only think about dealing with Qin Kan every day, but most of his energy should be focused on state affairs.
Zhang Cai and Jiao Fang were also sitting in the Sili Supervisory Bureau. The three of them are still discussing the most sensitive topic now. Investigating military camps.
They did not know that King Anhua, who was thousands of miles away, rebelled because of Liu Jin's new policy. For Liu Jin, who was extremely eager for political achievements in order to win his majesty and court officials' admiration for him, the new policy must be implemented. No matter how absurd and naive it is, the new policy is Liu Jin's greatest achievement at present.
Seeing that his mortal enemy Qin Kan was about to fall, Liu Jin was in a good mood. However, Zhang Cai smelled a little worried today.
"Investigate military garrisons and measure the land of the garrison. These things must be implemented as soon as possible. There is another one..." Liu Jin glanced at Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai from the corner of his eyes and said with a smile: "Our local government government in the Ming Dynasty is a big mess. The news collected by the West Factory in the past two years has been that local governments have plundered the wealth of the people. They have strong taxes, enslaved the people, and corrupt the official database. There are many bullshit things. Humph! They are all the glory today that has been earned by ten years of hard study. When they become officials, they forgot how much suffering they suffered, and they forgot that they were once ordinary people, and they plundered the stakes without any scruples. What are these people?... They are borers! They are scum! Being an official in the same palace with them is the greatest shame in the life of the miscellaneous family!"
Liu Jin became excited as he spoke, his old face turned red quickly, and his face was full of evil and his appearance was deeply rooted in the essence of civil servants.
Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai looked at each other strangely, and then threw a contemptuous look at Liu Jin at the same time very secretly.
Everyone in this world is qualified to scold corrupt officials, but you, Eunuch Liu, are not qualified. Who is more greedy in the entire Ming Dynasty? He is obviously the leader of the corrupt official team, but he actually has the nerve to say that being an official in the same palace with them is a shame...
Jiao Fangren is a mature spirit, no matter how excited Liu Jin is, he is still as still as a mountain.
When Liu Jin's breath stabilized, Jiao Fang stroked his beard and smiled and said, "So Liu Gongxiao, Mr. Liu suddenly mentioned all kinds of disadvantages of local governments. I wonder what plans are there?"
Liu Jin picked up the teacup and sipped the tea. Then he said leisurely: "The family thinks that the local civil servants are unreliable, which is too uneasy. How much silver does this borer have to eat in the treasury every year? On the other hand, our eunuchs are different. The eunuchs have no queen and are slaves from the Tian family. They are dedicated to serving the emperor. They are both honest and diligent..."
Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai's cheeks twitched slightly...
The more you say this, the less you lose your limit. Is the eunuch a person a person? Is it not clear that no matter how you praise yourself to death, black and white are free in people's hearts, are you capable of being inverted?
"I don't know what Mr. Liu means..."
Liu Jin pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The Miscellaneous Family intends to promote the status of the local eunuch, and mention the governor's level. In the future, everyone will discuss the matters in this local area, whether it is the garrison, government affairs, laws, etc., and each has its own concerns and supervision. The local government can restrain itself a little. His Majesty's inner treasury can also make more input every year, so that the old man Ma Yongcheng will cry in front of the Miscellaneous Family all day long and will get upset with the Miscellaneous Family!"
Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai were stunned. They finally understood what Liu Jin meant, and they jointly asked for welfare and status for the eunuchs.
The eunuchs in charge intervene in the local military, political and judicial powers. Isn’t the world still in chaos?
Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai's faces suddenly became a little ugly.
It is true that they are the recognized eunuch party in the court. However, their origins are civil servants, and the imprint that the civil servant group has put in their hearts will never be eliminated in their lifetime. Liu Jin's absurd decision undoubtedly touched the bottom line between Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai.
Jiao Fang was so calm that Zhang Cai was young after all, so she couldn't help but stand up and said anxiously: "Mr. Liu, don't think twice!"
Liu Jin's face suddenly became a little gloomy: "What does Shang Zhi mean?"
Zhang Cai simply said frankly: "Mr. Liu, the officials think that not only should they think twice about placing eunuchs in the new policy, but they should think twice about locating official databases, land, military garrisons and other measures. The officials feel more and more that these are inappropriate..."
"Isn't it right?" Liu Jin's voice became sharp and unconsciously: "Shangzhi, you have to figure out that a large part of these new policies implemented by the Miscellaneous families were solved by you for the Miscellaneous families! Yesterday's words, today's words are wrong. Are you joking about being a state affairs in the court?"
Zhang Caiqing knew that Liu Jin had gradually become dissatisfied with him recently. It was because Zhang Cai's actions recently really disappointed Liu Jin. Since he was mentioned to the position of Minister of Personnel, Zhang Cai has become increasingly leaning towards the civil service group. He discussed state affairs several times, but his opinions were contrary to what Liu Jin thought, and Liu Jin was increasingly disliked him.
It is unpleasant to say good things. But Zhang Cai cannot refuse to say it because he and Liu Jin are tied to the same boat. If the boat sinks, no one can escape.
After gritting his teeth, Zhang Cai said, "Mr. Liu has always felt his eyelids twitching recently. I am worried that something big will happen. Liu, should we restrain ourselves? Liu Gong's new policy had made several suggestions at the beginning, but today I think about it, there are many disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that our new policy has touched the interests of too many people. If we don't stop, the outcome will be unpredictable."
Liu Jin smiled sharply at the sky: "Whose interests of the family have touched? If you have enough courage, come to the family to explain it! All the governments and orders in the world are from the rank of the ranks, and the power of life and death is also in charge of the various families. All the civil and military officials in the court, who dares not bow to the family? Zhang Cai, the family will ask you, who do I need to stop the horse for?"
The extremely arrogant words made Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai change their color in shock, and their hearts immediately sank to the bottom of the valley.
The two men, who have experienced a lot of storms, know that if they are in the court and officialdom, if they are so crazy, what awaits him is not an award-winning official, but a steel knife of the executioner in the field! The more arrogant he is, the closer he is to perishment!
Zhang Cai's forehead was slightly sweaty, his lips squirmed a few times, and he wanted to go in again. As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw a new official running in from outside the room.
The new official ran and was sweating profusely, gasping heavily, and hurriedly saluted after entering the room, saying shrill: "Old ancestor, it's not good..."
Liu Jin was so scared that his eyebrows were leaping. The first thought in his mind was whether the more than 200 ministers who had petitioned to kill Qin Kan had another change?
"Her Tianmen has changed?" Liu Jin stared at the new official and asked anxiously.
"Old ancestors and ministers from Chengtianmen have all dispersed..."
Liu Jin was shocked: "It's gone? Why? Did Your Majesty speak?"
"No, they scattered because there were rumors in the capital. This time the rumors were directed at your ancestor..."
Liu Jin was shocked and said, "What rumors?"
"Old ancestor, your ancestral tomb in Hejian Mansion... the ancestral tomb..." The new official just gasped, but saw Liu Jin trembling all over, cold sweat rolling down his cheeks, and kept swaying as if he was caught in an evil spirit.
In the astonished eyes of everyone in the room, Liu Jin slapped his thighs suddenly and shouted: "No! The family forgot that Qin Kan is good at digging the ancestral grave!"
"Ah?" The three of them were shocked.
Liu Jin was pale and ran to the courtyard outside Silijian for a few steps. He knelt down to the southwest with a thunderous sound, raised his hands to the sky, and shouted with a little Shaanxi accent: "Uh... I'm so miserable... Daddy! Where did you guys get dug by that beast?"
