Chapter 61 Strongest cabinet ever

If the Eight Tigers do not go, the root of the chaos will not be eradicated! The courtiers not only wanted to trouble the "innocent" Liu Jin, but also seven servants including Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, Zhang Yong, Wei Bin, Luo Xiang, Qiu Ju, and Gao Feng. A title that only the underworld has had: Eight Tigers. You know, Ming Wuzong was only fifteen years old at this time, and he didn't understand the world, so he relied on the eight people around him to give him ideas and solutions.If a vigorous people's movement can be set off to knock out all eight people at once, then the ignorant Ming Wuzong will fall into the hands of the officials.All these ministers are intellectuals. If they want Wu Zong to be round, they will be round, and if they are flattened, they will be flat. Wouldn't it be nice?

Confucian scholars, do they have political ambitions, hoping to get the opportunity to show their hands and feet, and implement their own ideas of governing the country.But under the imperial power system, this kind of possibility basically does not exist. The only possibility is to meet an ignorant little emperor and let him be at your mercy. Finally met the fifteen-year-old Ming Wuzong, of course he would be inexplicably excited. So everyone must find excuses and make up reasons, no matter how outrageous the excuse is, no matter how absurd the reason is, as long as the officials are wholehearted, they will not worry about cleaning up the protectors around the little emperor. It falls into everyone's hands.

These thoughts in my heart are not written in the history books, but they are clear things.Therefore, the three Tuogu veterans, that is, the three veterans of the cabinet, headed by Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian kept giving memorials, strongly demanding the defeat of the Eight Tigers Group headed by Liu Jin.At this time, Li Mengyang, a doctor in the household department, saw the opportunity, and also stabbed diagonally to add chaos, and wrote a memorial to ask Liu Jin to be killed. But Li Mengyang did something wrong. Anyone has reason to bully Liu Jin, but he shouldn't. why? Because Li Mengyang is kind to Liu Jin.As mentioned earlier, when Liu Jin was the leader of the Jiaofang Division, he beat and killed a small vendor selling goods with three punches and two kicks, and was sent to prison at that time.Logically speaking, at this time, Liu Jin's salary, Lumi, should also be stopped.However, Li Mengyang was working in the household department at that time. Seeing Liu Jin’s family members coming to receive the Lumi pitifully, he was worried that the family would starve to death if they did not receive the Lumi. Therefore, he violated the management regulations of the household department and distributed them Lumi was given to Liu Jin's family.Afterwards, Liu Jin's family told Liu Jin about the matter, and said: In the rest of my life, remember to repay Li Mengyang... But whether you are gracious or not, the route is divided, because killing the "innocent" Liu Jin is more in line with the long-term interests of the officials , so Li Mengyang doesn't care so much anymore, he joins in the fun and plays with everyone in partnership.

"Ming Tongjian·Forty-first Volume" records that: Sparse in, go up and cry and don't eat. The meaning of this passage is that due to the memorials submitted by the ministers, each of them was so vicious and murderous that the poor Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty was scared to tears, and he didn't even dare to eat. The reason why the little Emperor Wu Zong was scared to cry was because he grew up under Liu Jin's care since he was a child, and he had a strong sense of dependence on Liu Jin and others.It is not an exaggeration to say that he regards Liu Jin as his father and brother in his inner feelings.At this time, a group of people outside the palace suddenly wrote a letter, strongly demanding to get rid of the father and brother he relied on. How could this poor Wu Zong not panic?

In order to prevent the weird white-bearded old men outside the palace from doing terrible things, Xiao Wuzong begged the eunuchs Li Rong and Wang Yue to go to the cabinet and discuss with Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian to see if they could not It's so scary, find a way to compromise.Li Rong and Wang Yue ran back and forth countless times between the palace and the cabinet, repeatedly conveying Xiao Wuzong's intentions, whether it is possible to exile the Eight Tigers to Nanjing, and not to kill them, it's all poor... But the cabinet insisted on refusing to kill the eight tigers, and vowed not to give up.

Seeing Xiao Wuzong crying non-stop, so the cabinet discussed that it is better to chase the emperor bravely, and not to be known as the overlord.Waiting for tomorrow to collect all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, everyone will go to the court to argue together, and hundreds of ministers will yell at Xiao Wuzong together. If you don't believe it, you won't be able to scare him to death.
