Chapter 224: Punishment of Liu Jin (1)

In the spring of the third year of Zhengde, Liu Jin's new policy initially reached a paragraph, and the routine was also popularized throughout the country, although the people complained deeply, but they were afraid of Liu Jin's prestige, no one dared to say, no one dared to speak.

Although many of the policies in Liu Jin's new policy are very beneficial to the people, this does not prevent the scholars from obstructing it, the reason is actually very simple, Liu Jin is a eunuch, in the eyes of literati and doctors, this kind of person is not worthy of governance, so no matter what policies he promulgates, it is not right!

However, these people can only think about it in their hearts, and once this idea has a concrete form, most of them will be dismissed and arrested.

There is no way, Liu Jin's power is so great, and it is not for nothing that the people call him the emperor.

In the third year of Zhengde, not only Liu Jin's new policy, but also a very important event happened, Chen Yu's reform of land servitude has been reformed from Jiangnan to the whole country.

This year was quite fruitful, and the number of enlisted servants increased sharply by three or four tenths compared with the second year.

There are fewer inferior gentry who are flying and deceitful, and the income of the imperial court has naturally increased very rapidly, but since Chen Yu started the wind of reform, those scholars and doctors have not been happy, and the officialdom is even more resentful of Chen Yu, and the reason for this is that Chen Yu has touched the interests of a large number of people.

This part of the people can be said to be half of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and a conspiracy against Chen Yu is slowly unfolding.

Fujian was temporarily peaceful, Chen Yu built a military defense line with Bai Hong as the general commander of the Japanese capital, and controlled the entire Fujian coastal area in the center.

The military defense force along the coast became stronger and stronger, and after that, Chen Yu reported to the imperial court to reopen the Botiju Division in Quanzhou City.

Since the imperial court tasted the sweetness brought by the city, it agreed without thinking about it at all.

As for the Lin family, a Fujian businessman, they used to play smuggling, but now after the opening of the market, they can trade overseas in an open and honest manner, so naturally they will not do anything about smuggling.

Chen Yu also doesn't want to go against the Lin family, firstly, they have no threat, secondly, they have a lot of words, the so-called snake does not die but is devoured by it Chen Yu understands better than anyone else, although it is now Zhengde, but after more than ten years, after Emperor Jiajing ascends the throne, these remaining words will make a stumbling block, Chen Yu does not dare to guarantee that he will still be able to turn the tide.

So there is nothing wrong with having a word and walking in the same line as yourself.

After several months of revision, by the end of the fourth year of Zhengde, the southeast was completely peaceful.

Although the southeast is too peaceful, it is the opposite on the North Zhili side, and there is already a lot of trouble near Gyeonggi.

The reason for this is civil strife!

Yes, the Eight Tiger Eunuchs are in civil strife.

The reason is very simple, these Eight Tiger Eunuchs' hearts are not very wide, they don't have anything to worry about every day, and they are naturally very careful about the details, plus they themselves may be a little perverted, once let Liu Jin do things (abuse of power, give convenience) Liu Jin disagreed, and he didn't agree twice.

Over time, the Seven Tigers gradually became resentful of Liu Jin, but Liu Jin's power was too great, and the Seven Tigers were a little whispering, and what was waiting for them was the court staff.

So the seven of them could only silently record this account in their minds.

In addition, Liu Jin himself does not treat the Seven Tigers very well, although he is also a eunuch, but Liu Jin's ambitions and ambitions are obviously higher than them.

This kind of contempt will naturally manifest itself in the bits and pieces of life, and the Seven Tiger Eunuchs can only silently keep these things in mind.

Since you can't find a sense of superiority in you Liu Jin, let me wait for the people to show their charms!

As a result, at the beginning of the fifth year of Zhengde, the Seven Tigers would go around Gyeonggi almost every day, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that there was not an inch of grass left.

For these seven unsuccessful people, Liu Jin didn't bother to care about them, after all, they could talk well by Zhu Houzhao's side, so Liu Jin didn't want to break the net.

In his opinion, there are more important things waiting for him to do, since he Chen Yu can reform, then why can't he Liu Jin?

So, in February this year, Liu Jin released a very angry official reform.

Although Chen Yu's reform can touch the interests of a large number of bureaucrats, his starting point is good, and the process is also bit by bit, which will not make people feel abrupt, unacceptable, and will not offend all civil officials in the world.

It's just that many Qing officials still support Chen Yu very much, but Liu Jin's reform completely made all the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty angry, not only the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, but also the military generals.

What kind of reform can make all the military officials in the world resentful?

It turned out that Mr. Liu ordered an administrative reform, the specific content of which is not much to say, and the main decree is, "The officials in all localities are subordinate to the jurisdiction of the central officials." ”

What does that mean? It is the bureaucracy of one government, one county and one province, not in charge of the three divisions, but to let the town guard eunuchs to govern, the three divisions are responsible for the local town guard eunuchs, and the town guards and eunuchs in various places are directly responsible to Liu Jin.

Who would want to leave this matter aside? The hundred officials have already endured Liu Jin for a long time, but their forces are too scattered, and they dare not speak out.

Since Chen Yu returned to Beijing, he has stayed at home, but since March, the cabinet and Chen Yu have moved more and more frequently.

Soon, Li Dongyang and several people unanimously agreed to transfer Chen Yu to the Ministry of Rites as the left waiter.

Non-Hanlin will not be included in the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will not be included in the Cabinet. The Cabinet's implication in doing so is obvious.

The cabinet did this for the good of Chen Yu, Chen Yu, the little fox, had already known that Li Dongyang's purpose was to attract Liu Jin's attention.

It's really good, Liu Jin is sensitive to Chen Yu's wolf ambitions, Chen Yu's power is now all over the southeast, and now he can't imagine that he is also in the middle of the court.

No matter how much trouble you make in the place, I Liu Jin don't care, after all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, as long as Lao Tzu says a few more bad things about you in front of the emperor, promotion, appointment and dismissal are a matter of one sentence.

But now it's different, Chen Yu is in Beijing, and he can enter and leave the leopard room in the imperial city at will, and he Liu Jin really doesn't know who Zhu Houzhao is listening to!

No, Chen Yu must be eradicated!

When Chen Yu was promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, he was already secretly scolding Li Dongyang in his heart, damn, isn't this just pushing Lao Tzu into the fire pit?

But now there is no way, it seems that all that can be done is to sit back and wait, I wanted to go to the newly built leopard room to meet Zhu Houzhao, but every time I was prevaricated back by Qian Ning with various excuses.

Since he was promoted to the Ministry of Rites, instead of scolding Chen Yu, the hundred officials faintly kept a distance from Chen Yu.

Except for a few confidants of the imperial court, no one came.

For this reason, Fang Xianfu also asked Chen Yu quite strangely, why was he promoted, but no one climbed the festival?

Chen Yu didn't answer Fang Xianfu, just let them all lie dormant, and everyone was not allowed to act rashly, no matter what happened!

In April, it was unusually quiet.

At the same time, Chen Yu went to Shaanxi with a letter of resignation, and Yang Yiqing read Chen Yu's letter, but the demented half salary failed to come back to his senses.

A henchman sergeant asked Yang Yiqing, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Yiqing didn't speak, but his eyes were cloudy, and after a long time, he said: "This Chen Tingyu is too ruthless!" Such a person is a double-edged sword, I don't know what kind of changes it will bring to Daming! ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Yiqing's eyes gradually hardened, based on Chen Tingyu's letter alone, as long as he told the court, Chen Yu would not survive!

But Yang Yiqing thought about it for a long time, and this letter was finally thrown into the furnace by him, and then said to the henchman sergeant: "You send a letter of name to the Anhua Palace, and the official will pay a visit tonight." ”

Zhu Ningyao, the king of Anhua, had a fief within the three sides under the jurisdiction of Yang Yiqing.

The reputation of this vassal king has never been very good, and Yang Yiqing also knows it, but for Chen Yu's ruthless plan, this little notoriety is nothing.

Tonight, Yang Yiqing found King Anhua with a tempting apple, in fact, Chen Yu's plan was very simple, to test whether he had the intention of rebellion.

Chen Yu just asked Yang Yiqing to put forward a few tempting conditions, such as according to Guanzhong, go straight to the Beijing Division, and the occupation of the Beijing Division can be accomplished.

This condition is very tempting, as long as the king of Anhua is unaware of the ghosts from the Shaanxi border and boldly advances into the Beijing division, the world of the Ming Dynasty will be his.

For such conditions, King Anhua still couldn't refuse, especially with the support of Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, and he was even more confident.

You must know that in the border passes, the strength of all the armies is only the most fierce Yang Yiqing, plus he himself is a bit of a thief, and he has secretly bought many generals of the Guanzhong army, so Yang Yiqing just expressed a little meaning, and he immediately agreed!

Why is Chen Yu too ruthless, it is because of this that kid actually lured King Anhua to rebel!

If it was purely because of this matter, Yang Yiqing would definitely not agree, but Chen Yu's purpose was by no means so simple, he wanted to use King Anhua to eliminate Liu Jin!

This step is even more ruthless, at a young age, the scheming is so heavy, so Yang Yiqing has to be jealous.

The Shaanxi side has been flickering almost, but what I didn't expect was that Liu Jin's side made the first move! (To be continued.) )
