Xiyuan Leopard House Princess

"I'm going to have an accident with this ceremony?" The young emperor on the dragon chair sat leaning forward, quite squirming, and his tone was full of banter.

After ascending the throne today, a total of two departments were opened, and as a result, the third year of Zhengde was a fire in the Spring Gongyuan, and the sixth year of Zhengde was exposed to fraud in the field.

Where are so many coincidences in the imperial examination of the Zhengde Dynasty!

"How do you count the days of Qin Tianjian?" Brother Shou knocked on the imperial case and raised his voice, "Call all those who are Qin Tianjian here, go to Tianliangguan to learn from Zhang Zhenren, and the good students will come to find the zodiac auspicious day." ”

The little chamberlains all slipped away and stood by the wall, not daring to breathe, and none of them dared to step forward to respond to this "commandment".

As for the ministers below, Fei Hongdeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in charge of the imperial examination, couldn't stand still, knelt down with a puff, and said "The minister is guilty......" but he didn't know what to continue to say.

He was promoted to the Ministry of Rites in the second year of Zhengde, and in October last year, the former Ministry of Rites Shangshu Bai Yue passed away, and at the end of the year he was promoted to Shangshu.

He has passed through the spring of Zhengde for three years and six years of Zhengde.

Therefore, as soon as the emperor mentioned this at this time, he had no choice but to kneel down and ask for guilt.

And Jin Gui, the examiner and defendant who took bribes, also knelt down silently and touched the ground with his forehead, but he didn't say a word.

The cabinet leaders who had been given seats were no longer able to sit down, and they all stood up.

Only Liu Jin, including the celebrant supervisors, had a light breeze on their faces, which was quite a bit of a concern for themselves.

Brother Shou didn't look at anyone, and was the first to point out the name of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, "Wang Ding, what does the Metropolitan Procuratorate mean." ”

Last year, Huguang also suffered from drought, bandits and bandits in Dongting were rampant, and Shi Hongzhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department and the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, was appointed to take charge of the military affairs of Huguang, Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan and other departments, and the prime minister Wuchang and other government relief matters.

Therefore, at this time, only the right capital of the Imperial Palace, Wang Ding, is in Beijing.

As soon as the impeachment came out at that time, Wang Ding was furious, and scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestor of Yushi Lin Jinlong three thousand eight hundred times.

Normal Yushi does have the right to "hear about things", only responsible for monitoring and throwing problems, and is not responsible for verifying, and the things that are verified are all done by the six departments or Jinyiwei.

But, is it a common thing to cheat in the field?!

As soon as the word "question" came out, the world was shaken, and the chaos was investigated, and I don't know how much chaos to stir up and how much time to delay, and if I can't do it, this subject will be abolished.

What's more, he didn't know about it beforehand!!

He's calling someone to the pit!

Wang Ding was recommended by Zhang Cai, and in September last year, he was promoted from Shuntian Mansion Yin to the position of the right capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knew that he was Zhang Cai's person.

And who doesn't know about the lawsuits between Jin Gui and Liu Jin?

A few months after Jin Gui sat on the official ministry, there was such a serious crime as the impeachment of him for fraud in the imperial examination, and everyone naturally thought that Liu Jin and Zhang Cai instructed him to find someone to do it, and he was preparing to put Jin Gui to death.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, no one really let him do anything!

He hasn't taken care of his own one-third of an acre of land, how can he have the leisure to tease cats and dogs!

Every big guy will have a lot of imperial history in his hands, and he will think that he is the mouthpiece in the matter, and Wang Dinggang has not long taken over the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he has not yet figured out who is under whom.

What's more, it is also extremely common for some people to look like a certain bigwig, but in fact they are doing things for another bigwig.

God knows whose orders this Lin Jinlong received!

However, no matter what the truth is, as soon as this matter comes out, he Wang Ding will have to carry the pot of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he will really vomit blood.

Listening to the emperor's words now, he is dissatisfied to the extreme.

Wang Ding quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said stubbornly: "Minister, I really don't know, it's the crime of the minister's negligence......"

"Negligence. Hey. Oversight. Brother Shou smiled contemptuously.

Wang Ding heard the emperor's mocking voice, and his heart became heavier and heavier, and his head was so low that the back of his neck hurt.

"Lin Jinlong's fold, he didn't even have a little side talk, just this sentence 'bribes from housekeepers'." Brother Shou snorted twice, and his voice was light and fluttering, but suddenly his words changed sharply, and his tone became stern.

"Taizu once said that the official who set up a constitution is to observe good and evil, stir up turbidity and promote purity, and correct errors. However, if you betray the public for personal gain, straighten your reputation, be strict and trivial, and set up a prison in vain...... It is a heavier punishment, and it is three degrees higher than ordinary people. ”

Wang Ding sweated heavily and kowtowed heavily, but he had no other words except "the minister neglected to supervise".

Several pavilion elders exchanged glances, and they all swept Jin Gui with the corner of their eyes.

When the emperor said this, it was clear that he did not believe in fraud.

Jin Gui still knelt motionless, and he didn't mean to raise his head at all.

Brother Shou didn't answer Wang Ding's words, but suddenly turned to Liu Jin and said, "Big companion, someone said that this matter is your handiwork. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, never expected that the emperor would be able to say this so bluntly in public.

A few elders quickly and secretly glanced at each other.

I felt that the little emperor would not attack Liu Jin at this point, but, who is right, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, no matter what, if the emperor opens an opening here, everyone can only go up and tear it open.

Even if you can't tear Liu Jin apart, you have to tear off a layer of his skin.

Who told this eunuch to become more and more rampant!

Liu Jinyuan was still squinting at the excitement, but he never expected that Long Live Lord would come to such a sentence.

His face changed when he landed, and without thinking about it, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live the lord, the slave is wronged, the slave is wronged!" At the beginning, Jin Gui was not dedicated to the actual record, and the impeachment of the slave and maid was only public-minded, and there was no selfish grudge! ”

After turning his mind a little, Liu Jin began to cry, "Long live the trust of the slave and the maid, give the slave and maid the palm seal of the celebrant and the maid, and the slave and maid will feel that they will only do their best to repay the grace of heaven, and they will not dare to slack off in the day, and all the things they think and seek are for the benefit of the country and the people, how can it hinder the imperial court's talent ceremony!" ”

"Whether it is clearing the fields, punishing rice and losing the border, or punishing corruption, the slaves and maids have offended many people, I am afraid that some people have made rumors! Slandering slaves and maids is small, and mistaking the court's business is big! Please long live the Lord to be clear, the slave and maid are really wronged! ”

Liu Jin burst into tears for a while, miserable and miserable, as if he was about to cry blood.

Several pavilion elders didn't bother this time, and they all lowered their eyelids and looked at the blue bricks on the ground.

This old gelding! I really know where the emperor's mind is!

As soon as Qingzhang Tianmu's words came out, I was afraid that the emperor would easily not touch him.

Although the punishment of rice and corruption is mainly to retaliate against dissidents, it is not without any benefits, and the emperor will not ignore one or two.

Sure enough, Brother Shou waved his hand and said, "Daban wants to be left, I don't doubt you." ”

Liu Jin's cry was swallowed back immediately, and as soon as he wiped his face, he turned into old tears of gratitude, shouting "Long live Lord Shengming!" ”

The expression is natural, the feelings are sincere, and there is no sense of disobedience when switching.

The corners of Brother Shou's mouth twitched slightly, but he asked again, "The eldest companion has also dealt with Jin Gui, is it believed that Jin Gui will take bribes?" ”

Liu Jin's body stiffened, but he still kowtowed and said, "Without verification, the slave and maid dare not speak falsely." ”

Brother Shou didn't seem to hear his answer, and asked himself, "How much silver can impress a servant of the ministry?" ”

He glanced at Zhang Cai, who had a face on the board, and said: "Jin Gui is already a waiter, if Zhang Cai enters the cabinet, he will be the secretary of the ministry." The Ministry of Officials is still in the book. How much silver can he get for this question, can he destroy his future? ”

This sentence is the real shock.

No one cared about Jin Gui or anything, and his attention was on the words "Zhang Cairuo entered the cabinet".

Rao is several pavilion elders have passed by all the winds and waves, and after hearing this, they still couldn't control their expressions, and subconsciously raised their heads in amazement.

Zhang Cai stared at the emperor with bright eyes, and didn't care if he was offended by looking directly at Tianyan!

He Zhang Cai has not worked hard for a day or two to enter the cabinet, but the emperor has not let go as if he didn't know.

Now, it can be regarded as missing a sentence and a half.

Very good, very good, as long as there is a crack, he Zhang Cai can turn this "if" into "must be"!

As for Jin Gui's desire to write the book, hmph, don't think about it!

Eighteen thoughts swirled in Zhang Cai's mind.

Liu Jin was also surprised and delighted, Liu Yu is useless, if Zhang Cai can enter the cabinet, then Li Dongyang, Wang Hua and other old things will all stand aside!

Liu Jin was thinking about it, and the lord of Long Live pointed at him again: "This matter will be investigated by the eldest companion, and I believe that the eldest companion will definitely investigate it for me." If there is indeed fraud, it will not be spared, but if someone is alarmist and deliberately destroys the imperial court's talent ceremony, it will also be punished. ”

The meat on Liu Jin's cheeks twitched, but he still had a full mouthful.

He secretly grinded his back molars, long live the Lord of this sentence, this is forcing himself to protect Jin Gui.

He really didn't do it this time, but after the incident, he didn't have the heart to let Jin Gui ask for guilt, so he took advantage of the situation.

However, at this time, Long Live Lord said so clearly, he would be stupid to go against the holy will!

Let's get rid of the crime, anyway, Zhang Cai entered the cabinet, and he also had a way to make Jin Gui unable to be a secretary.

How could he, Liu Qiansui, let such an important official be lost?!

Hehe, I want to clean up Jin Gui, there will be opportunities in the future.

Brother Shou didn't care how many people's hearts were twisted when he threw out a word, and when the matter was finished, he sent the ministers to retreat, but Jin Gui was left.

The ministers went out of the main hall with their own thoughts, and those who walked fast and slowly naturally divided into several waves.

Liu Jin greeted the old man of the pavilion with a smile and did not smile, and went with wind under his feet. Liu Yu and Zhang Cai at least did a little bit of hard work, and they also gossiped a few words to say goodbye.

Wang Ding wiped the sweat from his forehead, he was a little different from inside and outside now, and he didn't dare to follow Liu Jin and Zhang Cai openly, so he had to drag his feet at the end, and looked at each other with a wry smile with Fei Hong, a difficult brother.

Several pavilion elders are all steady steps,—— the emperor has a clear mirror in his heart, doesn't this mean "if", this "if" is equivalent to "no"......

*

From beginning to end, Jin Gui knelt there quietly, not moving at all, without saying a word.

The little attendants in the hall were all sent out, and only Brother Shou was alone, pacing back and forth slowly.

It was enough to have tea before Brother Shou spoke: "Jin Gui, you played the excerpt and returned it to the field." ”

Jin Gui lowered his lungs, as if his throat was swollen, and his voice was difficult: "The old minister has the emperor's grace, please ask the emperor to ...... the old minister."

Brother Shou simply interrupted him neatly and said, "No." ”

Jin Gui let out a low sigh and fell silent again.

Brother Shou immediately said: "I heard Qian Ningyan say that you once said about the country's capital. ”

This sentence made Jin Guimeng raise his head, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth widely, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word in the end.

Brother Shou approached Jin Gui in two steps, gently leaned over and stared straight into his eyes, seeing that his pupils shrank slightly to reveal a little frightened, Brother Shou pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled coldly, straightened his waist, and said, "You are now in charge of Zhan Shifu's affairs, and it is reasonable to worry about the East Palace." ”

Jin Gui did not relax, but kowtowed heavily to the ground, knocking loudly, his voice was so hoarse that he could barely hear clearly, as if he used all his strength to say: "The old minister is confused and vain, and his sin is unforgivable......"

was kowtowing, and suddenly felt the emperor's hand on his shoulder, Jin Gui couldn't help but stiffen, and didn't dare to move again.

But it was Brother Shou who squatted down, approached him, and asked gently, "Jin Gui, what did I say to you at the beginning." What's not going to be true? ”

Jin Gui's mouth was full of bitterness.

Who in the imperial party doesn't worry about the emperor's heirs?

Although the emperor has just reached the crown now, when it comes to getting married, it has been six years, and his knees are still empty!

The first emperor's heirs were not abundant, not only because he was weak since childhood, but also because of the queen in the harem.

Even so, Empress Dowager Zhang also gave birth to two sons and a daughter, but one son and one daughter died young, and they have only grown up today.

And today, the body is very good, the riding and archery kung fu is good, and the harem is a queen and two concubines, and I heard that there are also beauties in the leopard room, but there is still no movement.

Not to mention the prince, even the princess does not have one.

The crown prince is the country of Benya.

How can the people of the Zhan Mansion not be in a hurry, and how can the imperial party not worry.

Jin Gui's own family also has only two granddaughters and no grandchildren, not long ago, after returning home from eating the full moon wine of his colleague's grandson, he couldn't help but say a few more sentences with his son, and after speaking, he said something worried about the emperor's heir.

But it was his son who made friends carelessly and was tricked away.

After that, someone suddenly came to the door to send a heavy gift, and asked him, the person in charge of the Zhan Mansion, to say a word in the court-

"For the sake of the emperor's heir, please choose a close and virtuous person in the clan and put him as a master in Beijing, so as to appease the hearts of the people in the sea, wait for the prince to be born, and then let the relatives of the clan return to the vassal king."

If the emperor is forty years old and still has no heirs, this is just a matter of words, and it can be regarded as a plan for the country.

But the emperor is only twenty years old! What kind of heart is this?!

Besides, it is easy to please God and it is difficult to send God, as long as such a person is selected, no matter whether there is an heir in the future, this person will be a special existence, what a hidden danger this is!

If this person has ambitions in his own home, or is used by someone with intentions, it will be another catastrophe for the Ming Dynasty!

Jin Gui naturally wouldn't agree.

Over there, with the heavy gifts, there are still threats.

The other party said that the Jin family's son was guilty of talking about the rights and wrongs of the palace outside, and when he talked about having no heir, he was even more disobedient.

Jin Gui was not frightened, so he had a cold face.

Before the other party left, he sneered, and the disaster was just around the corner.

In the next few days, there was no movement in the court, and no one raised any words about the emperor's heir, Jin Gui was busy with the spring and didn't have time to pay attention to this side anymore.

In his opinion, even if someone dared to come up with that sentence, the cabinet would not let it come true.

Unexpectedly, a question suddenly appeared about the impeachment of him for accepting bribes.

The trouble is that his scholar has really disappeared inexplicably.

In the scholar's residence, he found several pawn tickets for death deeds from different pawnshops, all of which were written with gold, silver, jewelry, and jade pendants, and the amount of silver was not small.

Then ask someone to take the pawn ticket to a few pawnshops and ask, and the shop guys can tell the appearance of this scholar, and they can also take out the things they have, which are indeed valuable.

That's what a good game is......

"The old minister is dumb and ......confused," Jin Gui said in a dumb voice, "It involves the ceremony of picking talents, and it is ...... to lose the emperor's grace."

Brother Shou touched his chin and said to himself: "I didn't say which one to recommend......"

Jin Gui lowered his head and said: "The old minister once knocked on the side to probe the words, and the man deliberately revealed that he was the Dewang Mansion with a bend, and the minister thought it was not credible." ”

Brother Shou sneered and said, "The person who talked to Qian Ning is also said to be from Defu." ”

Qian Ning is now a big celebrity around the emperor, often accompanied by the leopard room, and there are countless gifts to Qian Ning from both courtiers and clans.

However, it really does not include the German Palace.

In other words, since King De became a dynasty, he only stretched out his hand to ask the emperor for money, and did not give money to the little ghosts around the emperor.

The affairs of Jingzhong are still the face of the eldest princess of Chun'an.

The other party is clearly telling you that he is not from the Dewang Mansion, as for which clan it is-

You guess.

If you are suspicious of all the vassal kings, it is best to make a strong decree again, and provoke one or two vassal kings to be angry......

Bah.

Brother Shou showed a gentle smile, patted Jin Gui again, and said, "Get up, what are you still kneeling on, when did I doubt you?" Didn't I ask Liu Jin to investigate this case, I will definitely return your innocence, and the results of this examination will not be invalidated. ”

Jin Gui couldn't help but feel hot in his eyes, and kowtowed heavily before getting up.

His legs were a little numb because of kneeling for a long time, and he stood up tremblingly and felt a burst of pain, and he was given a seat by the emperor, otherwise he would really lose his honor in front of the emperor.

Brother Shou paced around the hall two more times, and suddenly asked, "You also have a familiar imperial history, right?" ”

Jin Gui was stunned for a moment, but nodded honestly.

If he was a fool who didn't know the world, he wouldn't be able to get to where he is today.

Brother Shou smiled and said, "You arrange for someone to fold up, just say ......" He took two steps closer and said a few words in a low voice.

Shocked, Jin Gui rolled down from the chair, kowtowed, and persuaded bitterly: "Your Majesty think twice!" Although it is His Majesty's clever plan, this is even more different from placing the clan in Beijing! Never...... Your Majesty think twice! ”

Brother Shou's eyes were dark, and he only said lightly: "Don't worry, I let you do it, you do it......"
