Chapter 1174: You go and accompany Wang Zhi

"What? Do? Are you blind? I don't know who our family is? Liu Jin struggled and yelled angrily.

If it was an ordinary sergeant, it was estimated that he would be really timid in front of Liu Jin. After all, Liu Jin is famous. However, the person sent to arrest Liu Jin this time was a soldier of the Fenyong Battalion, the head of the 12th Regiment Battalion, and a descendant of Zhang Yong, so he was naturally not afraid of Liu Jin.

You must know that although Liu Jin has the power of the world, he really can't do anything about Zhang Yong. At the beginning, Liu Jin wanted to send Zhang Yongfa to Nanjing. As a result, when Zhang Yong learned about it, he didn't buy it and directly beat Liu Jin. But Zhang Yong was actually fine, because Zhengde helped the two make peace.

Since then, Zhang Yong has become a rare eunuch in the inner court who can scold Liu Jin head-on, and Gu Dayong and others are far behind. In addition, Zhang Yong himself controlled the 12th Regiment Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, and held heavy troops, Liu Jin was also a little helpless against him. Because of this, when Yang Yi liquidated Liu Jin, he would pull Zhang Yong along. Because, Zhang Yong is a great eunuch who dares to scold Liu Jin head-on. Replaced by Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng and others, it is estimated that they dare not face Liu Jingang.

Because the boss of his own family dared to beat Liu Jin, the people in the 12th regiment battalion were also more tiger and not very afraid of Liu Jin. If it were the soldiers of other battalions, it was estimated that they would tremble with fear when they heard Liu Jin's words.

Liu Jin also wanted to resist, and planned to ask his subordinates to save him. As a result, the words of the captain of the Fenyong Battalion instantly quieted Liu Jin:

"Your Majesty is waiting in your house!"

Liu Jin immediately knew that this was Zhengde going to ask him. However, thinking that the counterfeit jade seals and jade belts were smashed by himself, he should not have any weaknesses. As for the money in the house, Liu Jin touched the account book he had just made in his arms and sighed.

After Liu Jin returned to his house, he saw Zhengde, and before he had time to kneel, he heard Zhengde shouting:

"Lao Liu, I have a heart for you, why do you have a different heart?"

Liu Jin was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and knelt on the ground to defend:

"Your Majesty is very fond of the old slave, and the old slave, how can you have different intentions for Your Majesty?"

"Hehe, no dissent? If you don't have a different heart, why do you bring a sword to me? Do you want to assassinate me? ”

Liu Jin was suddenly a little confused:

"Your Majesty, everything the old slave has been given by you. Without Your Majesty, the old slave is nothing, how can he want to assassinate His Majesty? The old slave's loyalty to His Majesty can be learned! ”

Liu Jin's words are also sincere, if Zhengde didn't give him the right to wear red, and pushed most of the government affairs to him, Liu Jin really wouldn't be so powerful.

But what he said, Zhengde doesn't believe it now. Because, Zhengde saw the fan with his own eyes that hid the dagger. So, Zhengde threw the fan in front of Liu Jin and said:

"Your so-called loyalty is to bring a fan with a dagger hidden to me? Do you want to assassinate me? Zhengde roared angrily.

Seeing that fan, Liu Jin's face suddenly changed - after all calculations, Liu Jin just forgot about this fan......

Previously, Marin reminded Liu Jin to destroy the contraband, and Liu Jin did so. However, the workmanship of this fan was too exquisite, and Liu Jin liked it very much, so he didn't destroy it. Moreover, if no one finds the dagger hidden in the fan, it is indeed not considered contraband.

Under normal circumstances, if an ordinary soldier comes to Liu Jin's mansion to raid his house, even if he sees this fan, he will not feel that there is a problem. Lao Liu likes to hide daggers in the fan, are you a soldier, can you manage it? It's not a violation of the law......

But this time, Zhengde personally led the team to raid the house. Moreover, Zhengde has a very good memory, and I remember that Liu Jin often carried this fan with him in the summer. And then there happened to be a dagger hidden in the fan...... So Liu Jin was unlucky......

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... This fan can hide a dagger, but every time the old slave faces the saint, he has never hidden a dagger in the fan......" At this time, Liu Jin could only insist that he had never brought a dagger to face the king. Otherwise, just hiding the dagger face king alone would be enough for him to die a few times......

"Didn't bring a dagger to me? Who can prove it? Jeongdeok asked angrily.

How can Liu Jin prove it? Time can't be turned back, and there is no way to trace it. Therefore, Liu Jin can't defend himself at all now......

Therefore, Liu Jin can only kowtow vigorously at this time:

"Your Majesty, the old slave really hasn't brought a dagger to see you! If there is half a lie, the old slave is willing to be cut by a thousand knives! ”

"I can put you to a thousand cuts right now!" Zhengde said angrily.

Seeing that Liu Jin was about to be killed by the angry Zhengde, at this time, Liu Zhong entered the back hall at an inopportune time, and shouted excitedly as he walked:

"Your Majesty, great joy! Lao Chen just made a rough count and found that there were 2.5 million taels of gold and silver on Liu Jin's mansion alone, and more than 50 million taels of silver! If it is collected from the national treasury, it can be worth several years of taxes! Your Majesty, give the order and move all this ill-gotten wealth to the treasury! ”

Liu Zhong just asked Liu Jin's housekeeper to check the accounts, and as soon as he got the approximate number, he came to report the good news excitedly. However, he came at a bad time......

Liu Jinzheng was desperate to bear Zhengde's anger, and when he heard Liu Zhong say this, he immediately came to his senses. Because, he remembered the account book in his arms. So, Liu Jin said loudly:

"You can't put that gold and silver into the treasury!"

Then, Zhengde, Liu Zhong and the others all looked at Liu Jin in surprise - you are going to die, and you are reluctant to pay for it?

"What? Are you eunuch Liu still reluctant to pay for it? Zhengde sneered.

Liu Jin reacted and explained:

"Your Majesty, this money is not from the old slave, but belongs to the inner treasury of the palace!"

"What? Inner library? Hearing Liu Jin say this, Zhengde was stunned......

Liu Jin took the opportunity to take out the account book, raised his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, this is an account book made by an old slave, please take a look. This money is temporarily placed here by the old slave, and it does not belong to the old slave. Otherwise, they should all be placed in the east house. The east house is the old slave's mansion, while the west house is the old slave's temporary warehouse. In fact, that's the money in the store! ”

Liu Zhong said angrily at this time:

"You traitor, what is the difference between money going into the treasury and the treasury? Putting it into the treasury and using it for the people is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people! Even if you send it to the inner treasury, don't you want to transfer it to the treasury for use? Why bother? ”

Liu Jin had calmed down at this time, he shook his head and said:

"Mr. Liu's words are wrong! After this money is sent to the inner treasury, it is true that most of it will be allocated to the national treasury. However, there is a lot of attention to who disburses it......"

"What's the law?" Liu Zhong asked angrily.

"If the treasury receives this money directly, then all this has nothing to do with Your Majesty! Moreover, in the future, His Majesty will be short of money, and he will ask the household department for money in a low voice. You poor literati may find an excuse to refuse, and you will advise Your Majesty not to be extravagant or anything......"

Liu Jin said, Zhengde was also moved. Because, what Liu Jin said is the truth......

"But if it goes into the treasury first, then the cabinet will ask His Majesty to allocate money. And His Majesty's appropriation is His Majesty's imperial grace...... Moreover, if it is used for disaster relief, the victims will also know that it is a disaster relief fund allocated by His Majesty's Inner Treasury. Then, the people will also be grateful for His Majesty's kindness......"

"Isn't that a big deal? In the end, isn't it necessary for the cabinet and hundreds of officials to distribute it to the people? Liu Zhong said angrily.

Liu Jinzhi shook his head:

"It's different! It's not the same! The cabinet appropriated funds, and the people were grateful for the kindness of the elders! And His Majesty allocates funds from the Inner Treasury, and the people are grateful for His Majesty's kindness! What do the elders want to be famous? Rebellion? The kindness of the world should be given by His Majesty, not by the cabinet and hundreds of officials! Liu Jin said eloquently.

Liu Zhong was immediately out of words, but when Zhengde heard it, his eyes lit up......

Because he succeeded to the throne at a young age, Zhengde has not made any achievements until now. Therefore, the little emperor is very eager for fame.

And as Liu Jin said, if there is a disaster somewhere, and he allocates funds from the inner treasury to relieve the disaster, then what the people are grateful for is their kindness...... This fame is brushed, that's called a slip......

As a result, Zhengde finally agreed to Liu Jin's request to fill all the gold and silver in the West Mansion into the inner treasury. Then, Zhengde, who had eaten enough of the benefits, was embarrassed to kill Liu Jin.

Before leaving, Zhengde thought for a while and said:

"Lao Liu, the face gentleman has a dagger, and I can't easily forgive you. Otherwise, where is the law of the land? But for the sake of the silver and gold you have raised for the inner treasury...... In this way, you go to Nanjing to accompany Wang Zhi......"

In this way, Liu Jin, the once prominent eunuch, was demoted to Fengyu (the eunuch in charge of the sacrifice in the inner court) by Zhengde, and the roll was demoted to Nanjing to accompany Wang Zhi, the great eunuch who was powerful during the Chenghua period......
