Just when Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong went to the palace to report to Emperor Zhengde on the pacification of King Anhua's rebellion, Liu Zhong left Yang Tinghe's mansion and began to gather Qingliu ministers everywhere.

And the great eunuch Zhang Yong, at this time, also according to the original plan, took the opportunity to sacrifice the prisoner to accuse Emperor Zhengde of Liu Jin's crime......

"Hehe, Zhang Banban, Liu Banban told me about this before. And he said, Ye want to accuse him of rebellion. Zhengde smiled and looked at Zhang Yong, who was kneeling on the ground. For Liu Jin and Zhang Yong and a few other eunuchs who grew up with him, Zhengde is still very favored. Moreover, there are contradictions between the Eight Tigers, and Zhengde will even personally help to make peace.

Zhang Yong got Gu Dayong's secret letter, but he was not in a hurry, and he didn't talk about Liu Jin's rebellion. I saw him wondering:

"Your Majesty, how can a slave frame someone for rebellion? However, Lao Liu has gone too far this time, and it has already caused public outrage! ”

"What's the outrage?" Emperor Zhengde didn't care, he just listened to the story.

"Does Your Majesty know what kind of banner King Anhua's rebellion is playing this time?"

"I know, 'Zhu Liu Jin'. Didn't the 'Rebellion of the Seven Kings' of the Han Dynasty also play the banner of 'Zhu Chao'? But it turns out that Chao Cuo is innocent. ”

But the slave maid investigated in Ningyixia Town and found that this matter was indeed related to Lao Liu. After investigation, the slave maid found that Zhou Dongdu, the young secretary of Dali who was in charge of Tuntian in Ningyixia Town, in order to bribe Lao Liu, wantonly exploited the people and military households in the local area, which made the local soldiers and civilians extremely angry. ”

King Anhua saw that the local people and military households were very angry, so he moved his mind to rebel. According to what he thought, the people hated Liu Jin so much, and they should respond in groups. However, the border general Qiu Yue is both wise and brave. He first pretended to take refuge in the king of Anhua, and then took the opportunity to seize the military power. After that, he personally led more than 100 strong men to rush to the Anhua Palace, captured the Anhua King himself, and made the thief army collapse by itself......"

"Good! This Qiu Yue is a talent! Hey, no, remember that the war report said that it was Cao Xiong, the deputy commander-in-chief of Yansui, who led people to quell the rebellion? ”

Previously, in order to promote Cao Xiong, Liu Jin deliberately attributed Qiu Yue's credit to Cao Xiong, the deputy chief soldier of Yansui. And Cao Xiong is a relative of Liu Jin's boss Cao Yuan......

Zhang Yong said speechlessly:

"Send someone to investigate this matter and find out, the slave maid An dares to bully the king in person? Moreover, this Cao Xiong is the descendant of Cao Ge Lao, and Cao Ge Lao has always regarded Lao Liu as the head of the horse, and he is a ......"

"This ......" Zhengde was also a little speechless. Nima, encroaching on other people's credit, this is too tasteless. Moreover, he still completely embezzled the credit of others, and he didn't even leave a mouthful of soup.

Zhang Yong carefully observed Zhengde's expression and knew that Zhengde did not have murderous intentions towards Liu Jin, so he sighed and said:

"Your Majesty, this rebellion of King Anhua is all because Lao Liu's henchmen have exploited the local army and civilians too much, so that King Anhua can see the opportunity......

"Let's talk about something else, Lao Liu did a good job. You see that the 'rice penalty case' he made didn't stop the deficit of the imperial court's warehousing? "Zhengde misses the old, and still doesn't want to attack Liu Jin.

Zhang Yong said again:

"Your Majesty, the slave maid also thinks that the 'rice penalty example' is a good idea. However, the slave maid heard that not all the rice and grain punished by this 'rice penalty example' were put into storage......"

"Didn't it all go into storage? That is to say, Lao Liu is greedy for ink? Isn't that unusual? How many of you, who is not greedy for money? Zhengde said indifferently.

"However, the slave maid heard that Lao Liu took most of the confiscated rice and grain back home, and the storage was only a fraction of ......."

"What? Is there such a thing? Emperor Zhengde was taken aback.

This is not a trivial matter, the money and food that should have been put into the warehouse are nothing. But generally speaking, at most, a small part of the ink is greedy. However, it would be too bad to keep most of it for ink and only a small part of the treasury. At this time, Zhengde was already planning to teach Liu Jin some lessons. But it's only a lesson, not a complete breakdown.

Zhang Yong saw that there was a play, and continued to add fire:

"Your Majesty, the slave maid heard that the money in Lao Liu's mansion, the treasury and the inner treasury are far less than that."

"Oh? How much money does Lao Liu have? Can there be more than the treasury? "Zhengde has just turned 18 years old, and he has never handled government affairs alone before, so he doesn't know a lot of things.

Zhang Yong looked around and said in a low voice:

"According to several of our estimates, the sum of Lao Liu's family's money is estimated to be more than 50 million taels of silver......"

"What?" Zhengde stood up in fright. Even if he doesn't like to deal with government affairs, Zhengde still often reviews and reciprocates. The annual financial income of the Ming Dynasty, including rice and grain, is only worth one or two million taels of silver.

However, most of the rice and grain were placed in the official warehouses of each county, and they were not released from the capital. Therefore, the money and grain that really goes into the treasury every year are only worth a few million taels.

Moreover, because of the huge military expenditure of the Zhengde Dynasty, it is good for the imperial court to ensure that the balance of revenue and expenditure is good, and it is difficult to have any surplus. Therefore, Liu Jin has a wealth of more than 50 million taels, which is really amazing. Strictly speaking, even the emperor Zhengde is a little jealous at the moment.

"Is that true?" Emperor Zhengde still didn't believe that Liu Jin had so much money. In his opinion, if the eunuchs can embezzle hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it will be countless. He knew that even if those people bribed the eunuchs, they would only stuff some broken silver. And 50 million taels of silver, the weight alone can scare people to death. He didn't know that when people bribed Liu Jin, they used cars to load silver, not some broken silver......

Those civil officials may not have estimated how much money Lao Liu has, but Liu Jin, the eunuchs who are also "Eight Tigers", still don't know? These great eunuchs are the most sensitive to money. How much money Liu Jin collected, these people are also the most concerned. Therefore, although the number Zhang Yong said is small, it is not too much.

……

But Zhengde just began to hesitate, and still didn't make up his mind to move Liu Jin......

Until the next morning, the noon gate was full of ministers......

"What's going on? What do these people want to do? Zhengde woke up with a confused face. He didn't go to the morning court today, so he got up late. However, as soon as I woke up, I heard that the palace gate was full of ministers......

"Emperor, it is said that these ministers have come to ask you to eradicate Lao Liu." Gu Dayong, who was on duty to serve Zhengde today, took the opportunity to speak.

"Why did they eradicate Lao Liu?"

Gu Dayong said:

"It seems to say that Lao Liu has caused the people in the world to boil, and the people are not happy, so that they rebel or something...... Moreover, it is said that some people also say that Lao Liu has the intention of rebellion......"

"Hmph, it's this set again, who is the leader?" Zhengde was a little annoyed. The bear child doesn't like people to coerce him the most, and he has a strong rebellious mentality.

"It seems to be Liu Zhong and Bachelor Liu......"

"This Liu Zhong is really old and confused, is it really good for me to bully? Lao Liu told me that someone wanted to frame him this time, but I didn't expect that someone really jumped out! Zhengde said hatefully while eating breakfast.

At this time, another big eunuch, Ma Yongcheng, couldn't help but interject on the side:

"That being the case, it is better for Your Majesty to send someone to search Lao Liu's mansion. If there is no evidence of rebellion, it is better to return Lao Liu's innocence. ”

"This ......" Zhengde hesitated.

And Zhang Yong, who was also standing on the side, also made up the knife:

"Your Majesty, the slave maid is also very curious, how much is 50 million taels of silver, will the house be full of silver......"

Zhang Yong's reason made Zhengde very tempted. In fact, he also wanted to know if Liu Jin had so much money, and it was good to open his eyes......

So, after breakfast, Emperor Zhengde took a group of guards with great interest and went to Liu Jin's mansion to search in person......
