Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Must Kill Liu Jin

When Liu Jin returned home, she saw Zhang Cai who was full of anger, and heard his accusation: "Why don't we discuss this matter first?" "This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. If it is done, it will be famous forever! What else are you discussing?" However, Zhang Cai frowned: "I always think there's something wrong with this thing." But if there was any problem, he couldn't say it for a while, so he raised another warning to Liu Jin: "Yang Yiqing is not an easy person, you have to be careful." "I've already taught him a lesson, don't worry."

Zhang Cai looked at the confident Liu Jin and smiled contemptuously: "I have been an official in the same dynasty as him for more than ten years. I know that this human rights man is sophisticated, scheming, and upright. He will never join us. What's the use of you teaching him?" Liu Jin was angry. What he couldn't stand the most was this contemptuous attitude. "I have demoted him to the people, even if I want to cause chaos, what can I do?!" But what he waited for was Zhang Cai's more intense reaction: "Yang Yiqing is either not moving at all, or he will be killed. He has great ambitions. If he is left alone, he will become a serious disaster!"

Liu Jin finally broke out, he slapped the table and shouted: "Why did he recommend you to be the trilateral leader?! I haven't asked you yet! You can do it yourself!" Zhang Cai was stunned. He sat back in his chair, stared blankly at Liu Jin's leaving back, and couldn't say another word. Misfortunes and fortunes depend on destiny, so let's do it! Zhengde five years (1510) April, Ningxia. "Have you really made up your mind?" "Zhou Dong is so reckless, we have no way out, we must not stand still, let's do it like this!" "That's good, Commander He, let's do it now!"

In May of the fifth year of Zhengde, Zhenjiang. Local rich man Yang Yiqing is sitting in the lobby reading a book, the sun is setting outside the house, and the breeze is blowing. He has passed this kind of leisurely life for a year, but all the peace will be broken today. Suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, Yang Yiqing immediately raised his head and looked out nervously. He saw a person walking in hurriedly, and the flying fish suit that this person was wearing had already revealed his identity - Jin Yiwei. In those years, when Jin Yiwei came to the door, there was basically nothing good. Yang Yiqing immediately stood up, thinking about the way to deal with it nervously in his mind.

But this Jin Yiwei seemed to have seen the world, he didn't give Yang Yiqing time to think, and he didn't talk nonsense, he walked directly in front of Yang Yiqing, and sternly shouted: "Shangyu, Yang Yiqing listens to the order!" Yang Yiqing hurriedly fell to his knees, waiting for the verdict to come. "Imperial order! Yang Yiqing, restore the trilateral system!" Yang Yiqing, whose soul was half gone, settled down, kept his head, and became a second-rank official. And Xuanzhi's Jin Yiwei has changed his face at this moment, bowing to Yang Yiqing with a happy face:

"Master Yang, congratulations to the official on his reinstatement. If there is any disrespect, please forgive me." You must know that Jin Yiwei, who works as a secret agent and is domineering, is sometimes very polite, at least in front of high-level leaders. Yang Yiqing patted the dust off his body, he had already realized the hidden meaning of this appointment. Li Dongyang, the time we agreed upon has finally arrived. He turned into the inner room, ready to pack his bags. But Jin Yiwei, who greeted him with a smiling face, suddenly stood up and blocked his way. "Master Yang, there is no need to pack your luggage, let's go immediately, the military situation is very urgent!"

Yang Yiqing was stunned: "Military situation!?" "Yes, Master Yang, King Anhua has rebelled." The king of Anhua, Zhu Zhixiong, was a feudal lord of foreign clans who guarded Ningxia for generations. This person was actually not very impressive, because his ancestors were unlucky, and they only settled in such a place back then. Very little. Trees move to die, people move to live, stay in this ghost place, eat sand every day, he has long wanted to change another place, but no one would change with him, he also wants to go to Beijing, but although Mr. Zhu Houzhao loves to play, he still wants Don't be stupid, you don't do business at a loss.

Zhu Zhiyu, who was eager to change his destiny, could not choose to study, he could only choose to rebel, but his strength was too poor, and rebellion would be his own death.At the critical moment, a person helped him and sent him a new force. This person was Liu Jin. Liu Jin made another old mistake. Due to his low level of education, he always thought of the problem too simply.You must know that those who occupy the land are not ordinary rich landowners, they are all military landlords with soldiers and guns in their hands. We now call this kind of person a warlord. The local officials who received the order were only a few yamen servants who beat the board, and they were not as powerful as Wu Song. Unless they were drunk and unconscious, no one dared to touch this Tiger ass.

The land cannot be reclaimed, but after rectifying the land according to the regulations, there is no less than one grain that should be harvested.In desperation, officials had no choice but to pick soft persimmons. When warlords bully us, we bully soldiers.Just like that, the inexplicably extra public rations fell on Ku Dabing. And Zhou Dong of Dali Temple was the most vicious among the officials who bullied the soldiers. He not only scolded the soldiers, but also beat the soldiers' wives. This was going too far. He Jinyi, the commander of Ningxia, was filled with indignation and prepared to resist. It happened that Zhu Zhiyu also had the same intention. The two hit it off and launched a rebellion.

Since this incident was provoked by Liu Jin, and Liu Jin's own reputation is not good, they pushed the boat along the way, made full use of resources, and set their own reasons for rebellion-kill Liu Jin and eliminate harm for the people (this slogan is true ). After the incident came out, Liu Jin was in a hurry. After all, he was the one who caused the incident, and he was responsible for it. They even wanted his head, so he immediately sent someone to block the news, and called Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe to discuss it. Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe first expressed sympathy and shock at what happened, and then clearly told Liu Jin that to put down the rebellion in Ningxia, all it takes is one person.

Needless to say, this person can only be Yang Yiqing. "That's him, hurry up and send someone to tell him to take office immediately!" At the critical moment, he can't care about any grievances. Yang Yiqing ended his closed-door training and came out of the mountain again. According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, whenever an army goes out, there must be a supervising army, and this time the person in charge of the supervising army is called Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong became Yang Yiqing's supervisor. I have always had a question about this - who came up with this genius idea?For this reason, I also searched in historical materials, but unfortunately I have not been able to do so. With the help of this pair of golden partners, Liu Jin will go to the road of hell step by step. Zhang Yong, from Baoding, was originally one of the "Eight Tigers". He has a bad temper and is domineering, sometimes even more arrogant than Liu Jin. But Zhang Yong is quite conscientious. He thinks that what Liu Jin has done is too much, and he often raises objections. For this kind of non-my race, Liu Jin naturally would not let it go, he decided to arrange for Zhang Yong to go to Nanjing to retire.It's a pity that this matter was not done well, and Zhang Yong found out. What happened next can reflect his character. Without further ado, Mr. Zhang Yong entered the palace after doing warm-up exercises for a while. He went directly to Zhu Houzhao and expressed his point of view: Liu Jin is not authentic and wants to cheat Me, brother, you can figure it out. As soon as Zhu Houzhao heard this, he acted like a mafia boss and told Liu Jin to enter the palace immediately to negotiate with Zhang Yong. When Liu Jin got the news, he rushed there, ignoring Zhang Yong next to him, and began to defend himself. Liu Jin was spitting all over the place, and Zhu Houzhao listened attentively, but they didn't notice that Brother Zhang Yong was rolling up his sleeves. When Liu Jin just said that he was emotional, a fist landed on his face suddenly, and a few live voices came from his ear - "I can't beat you to death!" You know, Brother Zhang Yong hasn't read many books, and naturally he doesn't like the solution of scholars, so he simply took out the philosophy of life when he was a gangster-beating. He has a bad temper, and he doesn't care whether Zhu Houzhao is present or not. He swung his fists and hit him non-stop. But Liu Jin is worthy of being in the road. He reacted very quickly. After being hit, he quickly protected him. Hit the vital parts and start to fight back. Although Zhu Houzhao liked to play, but seeing these two brothers fighting in his own territory, he really didn't give face, so he immediately yelled: "Stop!" The boss still had to listen to what the boss said. The two angry younger brothers stopped, but clenched their fists and glared at each other. Zhu Houzhao saw that the conflict between the two subordinates was too deep, so he called Gu Dayong from the "Eight Tigers" and set up a banquet for the two of them to attend at the same time. . The two had no choice but to eat a meal as a last resort, said some words as a last resort, such as hello, me, hello, everyone, called brother a few times, shed a few tears, and then clenched their fists to say goodbye. still. No way, the relationship broke down. With deep hatred, Zhang Yong embarked on the road to Ningxia.There, he will find a fellow traveler, a helper to avenge his revenge. Yang Yiqing doesn't like Zhang Yong. He knew that this person was also one of the "Eight Tigers" and an accomplice of Liu Jin.So he set off early and traveled day and night, but he didn't want to deal with this man. But when he arrived in Ningxia, he was surprised to find that the rebellion had been quelled! It turned out that when his old subordinate Qiu Yue heard the news, he led his troops to fight there immediately. Zhu Zhiyu was really bad, he was no match at all, and the whole army was wiped out in one fell swoop. Yang Yiqing had nothing to do, he found a place to settle down, and waited for Zhang Yong's arrival, he knew that he would have to face this person sooner or later. Soon after, Zhang Yong's vanguard army entered the city, but Zhang Yong was still on the road. Yang Yiqing was really bored, so he had to go for a walk in the street. However, while he was strolling, he discovered a very strange thing. He saw that Zhang Yong's troops were divided into several groups and they were posting notices all over the city, and the content of the notices turned out to be a military order prohibiting looting.Obviously, the soldiers did abide by this rule. This thing is very interesting. This was Yang Yiqing's first feeling, why did this notorious eunuch issue an Anmin Notice and enforce military discipline?He began to be curious about Zhang Yong. The eunuch should be seen. Soon, he met Zhang Yong as he wished. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yong had no airs at all, and was very polite to him. Yang Yiqing was very surprised, and then had the idea: this person can be won over. But what happened next made him take back the idea. Soon, they talked about the rebellion. At this time, Zhang Yong suddenly took the case and said loudly: "This bastard Liu Jin did it all, and the country is in his hands!" Then he turned his head and looked at Yang Yiqing intently. Speaking of this, buddy, you should also express your opinion. However, Yang Yiqing didn't express his opinion, he just picked up the teacup calmly, bowed his head and drank the tea alone. When meeting for the first time, making such wild remarks, this person cannot be trusted. Zhang Yong did not wait for a response and left disappointed, but he still saluted Yang Yiqing and bid farewell before leaving. Watching Zhang Yong disappear outside the door, Yang Yiqing immediately put away his smiling farewell face and frowned. He realized that there seemed to be an opportunity or a trap in front of him. Just when Yang Yiqing was hesitating, his followers told him a piece of seemingly inconspicuous news. It turned out that when Zhang Yong entered the city, he distributed one hundred taels of silver to his entourage. Everyone can take this money, but there is one condition-it is not allowed to take any more money from ordinary people in any name. This matter that was cited as a joke by the followers really touched Yang Yiqing, and he began to realize that Zhang Yong might indeed be a trustworthy good man. What happened shortly afterwards made him more determined in his mind. Zhang Yong came to visit Yang Yiqing again, this time he didn't come empty-handed, he still had a few notices in his hand. He was not polite at all, angrily threw the notice on the table, and sat down. "Look at it!" From when Zhang Yong came in to when he sat down, Yang Yiqing had been sitting upright and motionless. Decades of experience had made him deep and stable. He glanced at the notice and put it down: "This is Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion document, I have already read it." However, Yang Yiqing's plain tone aroused Zhang Yong's dissatisfaction: "The reason why he rebelled was because of Liu Jin. Liu Jin's crimes listed above are all true! You also know very well that Liu Jin is really a heinous person!" Yang Yiqing finally stood up, walked slowly in front of Zhang Yong, and suddenly sneered: "Then Eunuch Zhang, what can you do?" Zhang Yong was stunned, he changed his mind and came up with an idea: "Zhu Zhixie's announcement is evidence. As long as you take it back and sue the emperor, explaining the reason for his rebellion, Liu Jin will definitely be held accountable!" Yang Yiqing laughed again, and said earnestly: "Eunuch Zhang, you'd better think about it clearly." "Mr. Yang, do you think I'm afraid of him?" Yang Yiqing looked at the angry Zhang Yong and stopped smiling. He pointed his finger in the direction of the capital on the map and made a movement. He drew a straight line between Ningxia and Beijing. Zhang Yong understood, he is in Ningxia, Liu Jin is in Beijing, he is far away from the emperor, and Liu Jin is very close to the emperor, he cannot sue Liu Jin. He looked up at Yang Yiqing and nodded knowingly. This was an unsuccessful meeting, and Zhang Yong left in frustration again. But Zhang Yong didn't know that his actions had already planted a fire in Yang Yiqing's heart, and he had made up his mind. Yang Yiqing hadn't slept well for several nights in a row. He has been thinking hard about countermeasures. The current situation is very clear. Zhang Yong is indeed dissatisfied with Liu Jin, and Zhu Zhi's notice is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity, but the problem is that Zhang Yong may not necessarily listen to his own words and go to fight with Liu Jin. Liu Jin risked his life, and more importantly, even if Zhang Yong agreed, how could he convince the emperor to get rid of Liu Jin? So far, it is only the last resort. Zhengde five years (1510) July, Ningxia. Yang Yiqing handed over all the prisoners to Zhang Yong, and personally escorted them out of the country. He will bid farewell to Zhang Yong at the provincial border, and then part ways and return to the station. The final banquet will be held in the evening, and the last chance will also be presented at this time. Yang Yiqing sent out an invitation, and Zhang Yongxin went to the banquet. After more than two months of contact, they have become friends. As usual, the two sides chatted and drank until very late. At this time, Yang Yiqing suddenly made a gesture and told everyone to back out. Zhang Yong saw this gesture, but pretended not to know it. He already had a premonition that Yang Yiqing was going to say something extremely important to him.Under the seemingly nonchalant appearance, his hands were already tightly grasping the skirt of his shirt. Yang Yiqing was very nervous. After more than two months of testing and communication, the matter had come to this point. Although many things were not fully planned, the opportunity must not be missed, and tonight was the last chance. It's time for a showdown, show your cards! "Eunuch Zhang, I have something to tell you." Take your time and take your time. "Thanks to your help this time, the rebellion was able to be quelled. Now that the rebellion by the external vassals has subsided, but the internal thieves of the court are the great trouble of the country." Zhang Yong was shocked. He knew who the "big trouble" was, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him who had been silent for two months would raise this matter at this time. If it is already, it will kill people as soon as it is shot. It seems that the real thing is going to be done, but you can't be careless. If you want to do it, let him say it! "Mr. Yang, who are you talking about?" Well behaved, he is worthy of being one of the "Eight Tigers", he is extremely shrewd, but now, there is no way to turn back, be careful, be careful, don't let him get caught. Yang Yiqing dipped his finger in the wine, spread out his palm, and wrote a word—"Jin" stroke by stroke. Now that I've seen it all, let's talk about it! "Mr. Yang, this person is a popular person around the emperor. His accomplices are all over the government and the public, so it is not easy to deal with." Looking at the puzzled Zhang Yong, Yang Yiqing smiled confidently: "No one in the world can do this, but Eunuch Zhang can do it. You are a celebrity around the emperor. If you have made great achievements in this expedition, the emperor will definitely summon you. When the time comes to tell the emperor the reason for Zhu Zhi's rebellion, Liu Jin will undoubtedly die! " But Zhang Yong still hesitated. Already tempted, just add another sentence, this temptation he absolutely can't refuse! "Once Liu Jin dies, all the power in the palace will belong to you. Kill this treacherous person, get rid of the old and make new ones, and eradicate the traitorous party. Your father-in-law will surely be famous forever!" At this point, Zhang Yong finally figured it out. This business is risky, but if it is done, it will have a bright future.He decided to take the risk, but before he acted, he had one last doubt. "If the emperor doesn't believe me, what should I do?" That's right, this is the most critical and important question - how to convince the emperor?But it doesn't matter, for this difficult problem, I have found the answer. "The emperor will not believe other people's words, but you are the only exception, Eunuch Zhang, and the emperor will definitely believe you. In case the situation is urgent and the emperor does not believe it, please remember, Eunuch Zhang. Fight to the death!" "Elder-in-law, please remember that once the emperor agrees, he will send troops to take action immediately. There is absolutely no hesitation. If you act according to this, great things will happen!" Yang Yiqing finally finished speaking, and he quietly waited for Zhang Yong's answer. After a period of unbearable silence, Zhang Yong, who was sitting in deep thought, suddenly stood up and let out a roar: "Go all out! I'll do it! I don't want this life!" At this time, Liu Jin in the capital was complacent. He did not expect that the rebellion would be put down so quickly. Of course, only his name was on the memorial.And in order to commemorate this victory, he planned to go through the back door by the way, and make an official for his brother, let him be a governor and acquaintance. It's a pity that his brother was not lucky to be an official and died after two days of working. Liu Jin was very sad. He decided to hold a large-scale funeral for his brother, and arranged for all civil and military officials to attend the funeral for his brother. As the saying goes, this move is to show off your prestige even after you die! In order to ensure the funeral went smoothly, Liu Jin repeatedly considered the date of the ceremony, and finally chose an ideal auspicious day for the zodiac: August 15th in the fifth year of Zhengde. This is indeed an auspicious day for the zodiac, but it is not suitable for mourning, but for eliminating adultery! In the following days, Liu Jin and his subordinates worked hard day and night, making preparations for the smooth holding of the funeral, just waiting for the appointed day to arrive. August 15th, sunny. The weather was so suitable, Liu Jin was lamenting the blessings of the heavens, but a group of people on horseback had already arrived at Deshengmen. Zhang Yong arrived. He set off from Ningxia, traveled day and night, and finally arrived in the capital on this critical day. At this moment, he no longer has any doubts or scruples, because Yang Yiqing handed over all his trump cards to him before leaving in the early morning after the plot. "Mr. Yang, even if I can convince the emperor, are you sure that I can kill Liu Jin?" The meaning of this is very clear, I risk my life to do it, but you also have to make your background clear, in case you are a leather bag company, self-employed, brother, even if I sacrifice it, it will not help. Yang Yiqing smiled: "Eunuch Zhang, don't worry, once Liu Jin loses power, someone will come to you, and Liu Jin will be killed within ten days!" Zhang Yong heaved a sigh of relief, flattered his horse and was about to leave, but Yang Yiqing stopped him. "How does Eunuch Zhang plan to sue the emperor?" "Zhu Zhi's notice of rebellion is enough." Yang Yiqing shook his head, and took out a document from his sleeve: "That won't work, use mine." Zhang Yong opened the document curiously, and couldn't help being dumbfounded after seeing it.This document not only listed all of Liu Jin's crimes, but also listed various evidences. Counting them carefully, there were seventeen of them!Moreover, the writing is fluent, the logic is clear, and the language is vivid. It is really a rare good article. He took a deep breath, looked at Yang Yiqing who was calm and composed, said nothing more, put away the documents, turned around and started on the road. Damn, I can't afford to mess with scholars! Zhang Yong was about to enter the city, but a group of people who heard the news stopped him. It turned out that Liu Jin was very flustered when he heard about this, and his premonition of the impending danger helped him. He immediately ordered Zhang Yong to enter the city another day. The funeral was held as scheduled. But he underestimated Zhang Yong too much. To these blockers, Zhang Yong's answer was very simple and clear-horsewhip. "I don't pay attention to Liu Jin, what kind of things are you, you dare to block the way!?" Eunuch Zhang beat and scolded, and just entered the city in such a grandiose manner.No one dared to step forward to stop him. After Liu Jin heard about it, there was nothing she could do about it, so she had to tell her subordinates in a dejected manner that the funeral had been postponed and rescheduled to the next day, that is, August 16th. In fact, Liu Jin didn't need to be extravagant and wasteful, and he could only hang around until the fifteenth day of August. To save money, he could organize his funeral together with his brother. Zhang Yong played the victory report to the emperor. Zhu Houzhao was very happy and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare a banquet. He would invite Zhang Yong to dinner in the evening. Of course, Liu Jin would also accompany him. When Zhang Yong heard the news, he didn't chat with Boss Zhu, but returned to his residence, sat quietly on the bed, closed his eyes and rested his mind, waiting for the night to come. Tonight, is tonight, the final hour is coming. An ominous premonition haunted Liu Jin. Although he was not well-educated, he was also a smart person. If Zhang Yong didn't come sooner or later, but he came today, there must be something wrong. But what can he do? Sue the emperor?Or send someone to plot? Liu Jin thought for a long time, and made his own preparations for these two possible situations. He believed that in this way, nothing would happen. Then he went to the dinner party confidently. The contest officially kicked off. At the beginning of the dinner, Zhu Houzhao read out the award order. He praised Zhang Yong's selfless spirit of serving the country and his outstanding military exploits. Of course, he did not forget to praise Mr. Liu Jin for his good logistics work. After both sides boasted and talked, they started to get down to business—eating. Zhu Houzhao just drank, Liu Jin looked at Zhang Yong restlessly, but Zhang Yong didn't look at him, just lowered his head and ate. Not long after, a more strange scene appeared, everyone was singing and dancing, you came and went, and soon some people became unconscious. Zhang Yong seemed to be in a high mood and drank a lot of wine, but Liu Jin didn't drink at all. There is no interest in the banquet, just staring at Zhang Yong. The banquet lasted until late at night, and Zhu Houzhao hadn't enjoyed himself to the fullest yet. This man continued to drink and have fun. Zhang Yong seemed very happy, and accompanied Zhu Houzhao to drink. Liu Jin didn't drink, but he didn't leave. This is exactly his strategy, as long as he keeps an eye on Zhang Yong and does not give him a chance to speak, he can temporarily control the situation. But soon Liu Jin realized that she had to leave. I have to go to the funeral tomorrow! Looking at it like this, we won't be able to leave for a while, and we can't stay here all the time, let's play with these two brothers all night. So he finally got up to leave, and after obtaining Zhu Houzhao's consent, Liu Jin looked at the drunk Zhang Yong and left here in peace. But before he left, he ordered his subordinates to do one thing: send more troops, curfew the whole city, and strictly prohibit any troop transfer! This is Liu Jin's surefire strategy, to gag Zhang Yong's mouth, watch over Zhang Yong's soldiers, and take care of Zhang Yong himself in two days. But Liu Jin miscalculated, he didn't know, in fact, Zhang Yong had been watching him secretly during this chaotic banquet.Because on this night, there was a really good show, which had only just begun from the moment he left the party. Zhang Yong waited for a long time, and when he found that Liu Jin didn't eat or drink, but just stared at himself blankly, he already understood this old man's plan——I'm going to spend time with you today. Then spend it, and see who is afraid of whom! After his misbehavior at the banquet, he finally paralyzed Liu Jin's nerves. When he saw Liu Jin walk out of the gate, the drunken look disappeared immediately, and all the wisdom and courage returned to him in an instant. Here's your chance to do it! "Your Majesty, I have a secret report!" Zhu Houzhao, who was drunk, was taken aback by the yelling. He looked curiously at Zhang Yong who was kneeling on the ground, and opened the document drafted by Yang Yiqing. The crimes on the paperwork generally include attempted treason, raising warriors privately, possessing weapons, instigating mutiny, etc. Anyway, whichever one is the fastest to die depends on which one. Seeing Zhu Houzhao looking at the document seriously, Zhang Yong, who was kneeling below, suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy. With such a crime, I am afraid that you will not be punished! But he waited for a long time, but there was no reply. Zhang Yong raised his head in wonder, and found that the document had been put aside, and Zhu Houzhao picked up the wine glass again. Zhu Houzhao found that Zhang Yong was looking at him, so he smiled, said a few words, and gave Zhang Yong an answer. This is an answer recorded in the history books, and it is also an answer that Zhang Yong couldn't believe his ears. "Don't worry about these things, let's talk about it another day, and then drink!" Beforehand, Zhang Yong had anticipated Zhu Houzhao's reaction for a long time, but he never dreamed that what he was waiting for was such a reply! Zhang Yong suspected that he had heard it wrong, but when he saw Zhu Houzhao who was drinking himself, he knew for sure what kind of situation he was facing! The words have already been spoken, Liu Jin's eyes and ears are everywhere in the palace, and tomorrow morning, these words will reach Liu Jin's ears, and then he will definitely die without a place to bury him! what to do? !what to do? ! Zhang Yong finally panicked, his whole body began to tremble, but at this critical moment, he remembered the words he heard half a month ago when he was plotting. "Never retreat! Fight to the death!" It's all here, let's fight! He suddenly took off his hat, kowtowed vigorously to Zhu Houzhao, and said loudly: "Farewell today, I will never see the emperor again, please take care of your majesty!" Zhu Houzhao finally put away his playful face, he knew the weight of these words. "what do you want to say in the end?" "Liu Jin is guilty!" "What's the crime?" "Seize the Great Tomorrow!" Well, that's enough, that's enough. However, Zhang Yong was surprised again, because he heard such an answer: "Let him take the world!" It's over now, there are such heartless people in this world! Zhang Yong is in despair, everything seems to be irreversible, a person who doesn't even care about the country, what else is inseparable? No!There is one more thing! In an instant, all the blood in his body rushed into Zhang Yong's brain, and there was an answer that could save everything! "The world belongs to Liu Jin, where is His Majesty going?!" Zhu Houzhao's smile froze on his face, and only then did he realize that there was something he could never do without—life. Liu Jin took over the world, where would he go?Where can I go? ! After playing for five years, Zhu Houzhao, who has been playing without seriousness all day long, finally showed his true form, and for the first time a murderous look appeared on his face: "Go and catch him, now!" In fact, Liu Jin didn't go home that night. He slept in the nearest on-duty room in order to be able to respond to possible situations at any time. It should be said that his move still had some effect—at least it made it easier for his captors. Just when he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard the commotion outside, he got up immediately, and asked loudly: "Who's making noise?" Eunuch Liu is indeed majestic, and the outside suddenly became quiet, only a voice replied: "There is a purpose! Liu Jin quickly picks it up!" Only then did Liu Jin get dressed, and opened the door calmly. Then he saw Zhang Yong with a smile on his face. The next day, the house of Liu Jin, who had power all over the world, was ransacked, and a total of more than five million taels of silver was confiscated. There were countless rare treasures, calligraphy and paintings of literati, and even Zhu Houzhao came here on purpose after hearing the news, which was an eye-opener. But Zhu Houzhao was not angry because of the fact that Liu Jin was corrupt. On the contrary, after one night, he felt a little sympathetic to Liu Jin. After all, this person had served him for so long and had no rebellious actions. A bit uninteresting. So he specially ordered to send some clothes to Liu Jin who was in prison. This was a dangerous signal, and Zhang Yong began to feel uneasy. If Liu Jin died and turned around, he would be finished. But after only one day, he was completely relieved, because someone came to visit him as promised——Li Dongyang. Zhang Yong finally knew how powerful Yang Yiqing was. Not only did he convince himself, he predicted the emperor's hesitation and countermeasures, and he also arranged for the final ultimate move. Li Dongyang was very efficient in his work. He told Zhang Yong that the method to deal with Liu Jin was very simple. The next day, six departments and six departments (officials, soldiers, rituals, labor, punishment, and households) and thirteen censors (thirteen chief ministers across the country) wrote at the same time to impeach Liu Jin with a total of nineteen charges. Including corruption and bribery, education and judiciary corruption, control of speech, etc., in an instant, Zhu Houzhao's desk was flooded with overwhelming paper. What's more deadly is that the relevant departments re-examined Liu Jin's home in a serious and responsible manner. They found thousands of armor and weapons by accident (they were negligent last time). There is a hidden weapon behind a fan (I also neglected it last time), so it seems that Liu Jin should be a peerless martial arts master, ready to personally assassinate His Majesty the Emperor at any time, and enjoy Jing Ke's addiction. Looking at the table full of paperwork and crimes, as well as the fan, Zhu Houzhao cut off all kindness: "Dog slave, you really want to rebel!" But Liu Jin is Liu Jin, even at this point, he still made a surprising move. According to Zhu Houzhao's instructions, the Ministry of Punishment summoned all the officials for a joint trial. After Liu Jin came to court, instead of being rude, he looked at the surrounding officials with a sneer and suddenly shouted: "You people are all recommended by me, and now you dare to interrogate me?!" As soon as these words were uttered, the surrounding officials fell silent, and even the Minister of the Ministry of Justice (Minister of Justice) who was sitting in the hall did not dare to speak out. Liu Jin was excited now. He looked at the officials around him contemptuously, and uttered another wild statement: "Manchu civil and military, who dares to interrogate me?!" Brother Liu Jin, it is better to think before speaking in the future. As soon as the words fell, a person walked up, stood in front of Liu Jin and shouted: "I dare!" Before Liu Jin could react, he waved his hand again and called two subordinates: "Slap him!" Liu Jin received two solid blows just like that, and was beaten to the point of staring. He opened his eyes when he was furious, and immediately lost his words. Because this person really dared to beat him, his name was Cai Zhen, although he was not a big official, he had a special status—a son-in-law. Moreover, this son-in-law's rank is too high. His wife is the daughter of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, and Zhu Qizhen is Zhu Houzhao's great-grandfather. How should Zhu Houzhao call the old man is up to everyone. There is nothing more to say, Liu Jin stopped her arrogance and was honestly interrogated by Cai Zhen. After a joint trial (in fact, he was the only one who tried it), he finally came to a conclusion: Liu Jin wanted to commit misdeeds and was convicted of treason. According to Zhu Houzhao's instructions, handling opinion: Ling Chi. Mr. Liu Jin's life has finally come to an end. Many people used to scold him for killing a thousand knives. Now it has finally come true. It is said that it is more than that, because Ling Chi's standard knives are more than 3,000 knives. Brother Liu not only paid back the original, but also paid Interest. I have always believed that Ling Chi is the most inhumane and darkest punishment in Chinese history, but I don't think it is too much to use it on Liu Jin, who has caused countless families to be destroyed. Because justice has finally been served. After that, Liu Jin's accomplices were also liquidated one by one, and the resourceful Mr. Zhang Cai was also unfortunate. He accompanied Mr. Liu Jin to the underworld and continued to be his counselor.Liu Dang from all over the court was swept away. A month later, Yang Yiqing was transferred to the central government as Minister of the Household Department, and shortly thereafter he took over as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, becoming a heavyweight in the court.Jiao Fang and others were kicked out of the cabinet, and Liu Zhong and Liang Chu became the new cabinet ministers.
