It was cold outside, Liang Chu fell asleep early, and the bed was warm.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Master, there is an emergency, the Liu family sent someone for help!"

Liang Chu got up slowly, and under the service of the bed-warming maid, he put on his clothes, pushed the door and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The servant whispered a few words.

Liang Chu was shocked: "What, Liu Shilang was imprisoned by Jinyi?" Bring the person who reported the news to the Liu family! ”

Liu Yong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, although he is regarded as a member of the Yang Party, actually belongs to Liang Chu's henchmen. At the beginning, Yang Ting and Ding Wei returned to their hometowns, and Liang Chu took the position as the first assistant, and took the opportunity to promote many officials, including Liu Yong, who was unlucky this time.

Liang Chu, supported by the maid, walked quickly to the meeting room, where there was already a messy guy waiting.

"Are you Liu Shilang's family?" Liang Chu asked.

The man knelt on the ground and bowed: "Elder Liang Ge, please save my master." This evening, the Jinyi guard arrested the old man, and the Liu Mansion was also surrounded, and the villain ran out of the dog hole. ”

Liang Chu asked again: "Do you know why Jinyiwei arrested Liu Shilang?" ”

The man replied: "Jinyiwei said that he was ordered by the emperor to arrest the main messenger of the Baoyuan Bureau for counterfeiting money. ”

Liang Chu instructed: "You rest here, don't go back to Liu's house for the time being." So saying, he said to his servant, "Prepare a sedan chair!" ”

The servant hurriedly reminded: "Master, there is a curfew outside, so you can't walk around casually." ”

"How can you manage so much, hurry up and prepare a sedan car!" Liang Chu reprimanded.

Liu Yong, I can't help it.

At the beginning, Prince Liang frantically promoted his henchmen, and even squeezed out Yang Tinghe's people, who were too fierce and were beaten by the emperor and stroked a few. After Yang Tinghe returned to Beijing and was reinstated, many of his so-called henchmen threw themselves into Yang Tinghe's arms, and the loyal ones were suppressed by all sides, and now only Liu Yong and Yang Tan are left with the highest official positions.

Liang Chu was very dissatisfied with this situation, and gradually became suspicious of Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe also did not want to lose the ally of Liang Chu, and promised to help last year, and Ting recommended Yang Tan to serve as the head of the household department. This was immediately opposed by political enemies, and Yang Tan could only stand still, and let Huang Ke be the head of the household in a daze.

Liang Chu's henchmen, there are only two left servants, how can they be willing to get rid of one?

Braving the light snow, Liang Chu took a sedan chair and went straight to Yang's house, but was stopped by the Soldiers and Horses Division halfway: "Stop, who broke the curfew?" ”

The servant immediately scolded: "This is the old Liang Pavilion sitting in a sedan chair, there are important matters to be handled by the imperial court, and you must not stop it!" ”

The officers and soldiers of the Terracotta Division approached with lanterns, saw the color of the sedan chair clearly, and heard that it was Liang Chu who was traveling, so they did not dare to inspect it immediately, and obediently let the road go.

Yang Tinghe slept soundly, and was called up in a daze, so he could only yawn and go to receive Liang Chu.

"Jiefu, Liu Yong was arrested by Jinyiwei on charges of making Baoyuan Bureau make bad money. Zhengde ingots have the emperor's head, which is a big mouth for bullying! Liang Chu didn't beat around the bush, got straight to the point, and went straight to the point.

Yang Tinghe frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "There is another article on this matter, I'm afraid who is secretly meddling." Although Liu Yong is the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, he is not directly in charge of the Baoyuan Bureau, even if Jinyiwei arrests people, he should arrest Li Shiqi (Li Qi). ”

Liang Chu said: "Maybe the emperor was angry and arrested the two together?" ”

"No," Yang Tinghe shook his head and said, "It's already a big deal to catch a Shangshu, and if you catch another Zuo Shilang, it will be clear that you want to build a big prison." With His Majesty's wisdom, it is impossible to do nonsense in such a matter. "Nuancai Literature Network

"Jiang Bin?" Liang Chu asked.

"It's very likely," Yang Tinghe pondered, "it could be Wang Ruoxu, or maybe the two of them joined forces." After all, Li Ying, the commander of Jinyi Weidu, is Wang Ruoxu's friend of the township party. ”

Liang Chu asked, "How to save people?" ”

Yang Tinghe said: "There is no way to save it." ”

Liang Chu arched his hand and said: "Jiefu, everything is shirked in this matter!" ”

Yang Tinghe sighed: "Your Majesty has not been to the court for a month, and he has not come to the cabinet for a month, let alone recruited hundreds of officials to go to the leopard room to play right." What can I do? I can't even see His Majesty's face! ”

"Zhang Yong!" Liang Chu can only remind.

Yang Tinghe put on a score and said with emotion: "Alas, I have no choice but to do this." In order to save the people in the clear stream, contacting the eunuch can also be regarded as an expedient measure. ”

Liang Chu scolded his mother in his heart, and slandered: In the entire imperial court, the one who colludes with the eunuchs the most is your Yang Jiefu!

The political alliance between the two had already broken down substantially on the day when Liang Chu took advantage of Yang Ting and Ding Wei to frantically squeeze out Yang Dang's promotion of cronies. They didn't fall out on the surface, because there was still a common enemy, and when Jiang Bin fell, Yang Tinghe would start to engage Liang Chu when he did.

In history, Zhu Houliang died in the first year, and Yang Tinghe instantly became troubled. first united with Liang Chu to kill Jiang Bin, and then instructed his henchmen to drive Liang Chu and Wang Qiong out of the court together, and also threw the pot that accepted bribes from King Ning and helped King Ning restore the guards on the heads of Wang Qiong and Liang Chu.

Liu Yong, to be honest, Yang Tinghe does not intend to save him.

The Ministry of Industry has just obtained some financial rights, and it is also qualified to mint money, and it will certainly have more power in the future. Li Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is already over seventy years old and has no years to live, Liu Yongruo, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, fell, and Yang Tinghe just supported his cronies to take the position, and after Li Qi's death, he could take control of the Ministry of Industry.

In this case, what to do?

Yang Tinghe pretended to go to Zhang Yong, but Zhang Yong did not follow. In the next half month, Li Yi ate and drank well and lived in prison, but Liu Yong was tortured to the point that he was not human.

"I'm recruiting, I'm recruiting!"

Liu Yong didn't even have the strength to speak, and said weakly: "It was I who instructed Fan Zheng, the ambassador of the Baoyuan Bureau, to cut corners and add more lead and tin coinage." I'm guilty, I'm guilty, give me a good time! ”

Li Ying raised his hand to signal that the execution would be stopped, walked over and said, "Fan Zheng's confession is different, he bites out a eunuch. I asked His Majesty to arrest the person, and the eunuch confessed to Jiang Bin again, saying that Jiang Bin had given benefits. Why did you shield Jiang Bin? ”

"Jiang Bin? I am a person in the clear stream, how can I make friends with the border general Xingchen! Liu Yong was very angry.

"Huh?" Li Ying frowned.

The heroic righteousness on Liu Yong's body disappeared in an instant, and he closed his eyes painfully and said: "Yes, Jiang Bin asked me to do it, he sent a eunuch to find me, and everyone shared the profits from minting money." ”

Li Ying said indignantly: "If that's the case, these rats and moths are too arrogant!" ”

Liu Yong had no idea of survival, and begged: "Commander Li, please, give me a good time." ”

Li Ying smiled: "Don't worry, as long as you confess honestly, someone will intercede for you." It is estimated that the left waiter of the Ministry of Works will not be able to be a man, and it will definitely be no problem to be a petty official when he is released. ”

Liu Yong was stunned, and suddenly he didn't want to die, and said again and again: "Thank you Commander Li, thank you Commander Li!" ”

Li Sanlang took a few confessions, whistled to the leopard room, and sent someone to leak the news to Zhang Yong by the way. With the result of Jinyiwei's trial, and Jiang Bin is involved, I'm afraid our Zhang Dugong can't help but kick it.

Zhang Yong, Jiang Bin, Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu...... It's all involved, and it's messy enough.
