Chapter 1169: Coming up with an idea
Liu Jin listened to Ma Lin's words, and immediately became angry - Mom sells batches, if you don't give our family benefits, why are you cursing our family?
So, he asked in a weird way:
"We want to hear it, what is the disaster coming to our family?"
Ma Lin knew that Liu Jin was unhappy, but he didn't care if Liu Jin was happy or not. After organizing the language, he said:
"That's right, the day before yesterday I was drinking in a restaurant, and when I was drunk, when I went to the toilet, I suddenly heard someone next door plotting. Then, he stopped and eavesdropped for a while. You know, people who practice martial arts have more ear power than ordinary people. As a result, when I heard it, it was a group of civil officials who were plotting to frame Gonggong Liu! So, I'm here to report to you......"
Liu Jin listened, but he breathed a sigh of relief and said proudly:
"There are many enemies in our family, and I don't see anyone who can bring our family down. In the past, Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, wanted to find bad luck in our family, but didn't he please either? We appreciate the kindness of the Equestrian Lord, but there is no need to worry! ”
Marin Zhengsedao:
"Father-in-law Liu, I'm afraid this time is extraordinary. From what I've heard, it seems that there are a lot of people participating in your impeachment this time, and the reason is huge! ”
"Oh? What's the matter? Liu Jin asked nonchalantly.
"It is said that they intend to follow this rebellion of King Anhua and put the blame on your head......"
"There's no need to worry about this, as long as the emperor believes me, a little clown jumping off the beam is not enough to worry about."
"Here's the problem, I heard them say, it seems that this time the ministers have contacted several other great eunuchs trusted by the emperor and plan to deal with you together!"
Hearing this, Liu Jin finally became serious. He is a smart man, he knows Zhengde's temper, and he listens to the words of a few eunuchs around him.
"Is that true?"
"Seriously!" Marin nodded seriously and said:
According to those civil officials, Gonggong Liu was the most favored, and he had already aroused the jealousy of several great eunuchs such as Gonggong Gu (Gu Dayong), Gonggong Ma (Ma Yongcheng) and Gonggong Zhang (Zhang Yong). Therefore, this time they plan to unite several great eunuchs and deal with you together! Moreover, it is said that those people all agreed! I'm afraid that as soon as Lord Yang Yiqing returns to Beijing, they will jointly impeach you! ”
"This ...... Our ...... Our family is not afraid ......" Liu Jin is also a little lacking in confidence.
Marin added:
"The most terrible thing is that, it is said, they intend to frame you for rebellion!"
"Rebellion? What is the rebellion of a eunuch in our family? Liu Jin's eyes widened.
"The problem is, they just need to convince Your Majesty that you are treasoning!"
"What are they going to do?" Liu Jin was finally a little scared.
"They intend to instigate Your Majesty to send someone to search your mansion, and then, deliberately put forged jade seals, dragon robes, and jade belts on your mansion...... Then, pretend to have it from your house. When the time comes, Your Majesty will have to believe it......"
"What?" Liu Jin was so frightened that he stood up directly, and his voice changed.
In fact, although there is no dragon robe in his house, the imitation jade seal and jade belt are really ...... It's not that Liu Jinzhen wants to rebel, but that this product is cheap, and he wants to get it to play around. However, if it is really searched, Liu Jin will definitely lose his head......
Originally, in history, Emperor Zhengde personally led a team to copy Liu Jin's house. When the imitation jade seal and jade belt were found, Liu Jin had difficulty distinguishing it. Zhengde thought that he really wanted to rebel, and in a fit of anger, he ordered Liu Jin to be chopped up. As for Liu Jin's greed for money, it was not Emperor Zhengde's concern at all. On greed for money, which of the several big eunuchs under Zhengde is not greedy? I didn't see Zhengde making trouble with them. Only rebellion is the reverse scale of Emperor Zhengde, and if you touch it, you will die......
"In addition, according to the civil officials, they have been informed of the amount of property in your house. It is said that there are 2.5 million taels of gold and more than 50 million taels of silver......" Marin added.
Liu Jin almost collapsed, but he didn't expect that the secrets of his house were discovered......
In fact, how do those civil officials know how much money Liu Jin's mansion has? I only know a lot, and I don't know the exact number at all. And Marin knows because he has read historical records......
"How's that for good? How good is that? "As shrewd as Liu Jin, he was also scared at this time. At this time, Liu Jin suddenly planned to gather his henchmen Zhang Cai and Cao Yuan to discuss countermeasures.
"Father-in-law Liu, don't panic, there is a way to let your father-in-law escape this catastrophe!"
"Please!" Liu Jin was like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw at this time, and his attitude was much more respectful.
"My father-in-law can go directly to the emperor and say that someone wants to frame you for rebellion. And tell the emperor that someone wants to take the opportunity of searching your mansion to deliberately stuff prohibited things into your mansion. When the time comes, even if someone frames you, you have told the emperor in advance, can the emperor still believe it? ”
Liu Jin was right to think about it, he only needed to destroy those contraband first. At that time, even if someone came to check, and he had mentioned it to Emperor Zhengde before, even if he really found something, the emperor would not believe it.
"But those gold and silver ......" At this time, Liu Jin remembered that if he really searched the mansion. Those contraband can also be said to be planted by others, and those gold and silver, but there is no way to explain it. Moreover, since others know the specific amount, it proves that those who want to return her have already arranged secret agents to break into Liu's mansion. At this time, even if you want to transfer gold and silver, I am afraid that you are under the supervision of the other party.
In fact, Liu Jin didn't know that his opponents didn't know the specifics of his mansion at all, and they didn't have the ability to monitor Liu's mansion around the clock. Marin was able to tell the numbers in one bite because he had seen the relevant records in later generations.
Therefore, Liu Jin was frightened by Ma Lin, and he automatically gave up the opportunity to transfer gold and silver......
Marin thought for a moment and helped come up with an idea:
"If the emperor really sends someone to search, you will say that the gold and silver are for the emperor to be offered to the emperor and filled into the inner treasury. In addition, you remind the emperor that if the criminal department is asked to confiscate the gold and silver, then the gold and silver will go to the treasury, and the inner treasury will not be able to get a penny...... The emperor is a smart man, so naturally he will not let those gold and silver go into the treasury...... As long as you don't let the Ministry of Punishment take away the gold and silver, it will not be used as evidence of your guilt...... Alternatively, you can make a ledger and pretend to collect the gold and silver for the inner treasury. The emperor sent someone here, and you directly sent the account book to the emperor, saying that it was prepared for the inner treasury. Anyway, you're in charge of the inner library......"
"Wouldn't I have nothing left?" Liu Jin was in pain. That's 2,500,000 taels of gold and more than 50,000,000 taels of silver. If he really wants to give it all to Zhengde, his heart will be broken......
"If you can't help it, you can quietly let the most valuable jewelry, calligraphy and paintings be transferred to a reliable person. Those things can also be used as your capital to turn over later. Of course, His Majesty may be happier if you send money to the palace now......"
Liu Jin walked around anxiously, but finally didn't make up his mind...... On top of that, he was really reluctant to pay for the money...... It was not a small amount of money, but a huge amount of wealth that was much more than the income of the state treasury. If it is really donated, it will almost cost Liu Jin's life......
In the end, Liu Jin just destroyed those forbidden items in advance, and took the initiative to find Emperor Zhengde to cry, saying that someone wanted to frame him for rebellion. As for the money, he was reluctant to donate it in the end. However, some valuable jewelry, calligraphy and paintings were quietly sent away by him. After all, jewelry and calligraphy and paintings are relatively small, easy to take away and unnoticed......
