At the same time as Zhengde arrived in Xiyuan.

Lee House.

"Teacher, the student went." Supervising the imperial history Wang Xinliang bowed deeply, and his words were uneven.

are both ministers, and the Li Mansion and the Xie Mansion are not far away, but for now, the two mansions are like two worlds. Xie Mansion is full of lights, and the cars and horses in front of the door are flowing; But the Li Mansion was deserted in front of the door, and there were not even a few lights, only the study was still bright, and the warmth and coldness of the people could be seen from this.

As Li Dongyang's proud disciple, Wang Xinliang will of course be uneven, but the teacher is just out of caution to propose a steady and slow plan; But because of the interests of the Jiangnan scholars, the scholar Xie directly pushed the situation in Beijing to an extremely dangerous situation, and saw that the Beijing division was about to fight in all directions, which is what the ministers who rule the world should do?

However, the situation is already like this, and even Li Dongyang, a scholar, can't stop it, let alone supervise the imperial history by himself. What he has to do is to complete his unfulfilled duties, keep the emperor in the palace, and prevent things from turning into the worst.

Wang Xinliang has often blamed himself for most of the past six months, thinking that the situation will evolve into what it is today, all because he failed to stop the emperor from leaving the customs. If he had been more vigilant at that time and blocked the emperor, Xie Hong would not have been able to enter Beijing, and even if he had entered Beijing, he would not have been able to take the border army with him, and all this would not have happened in the capital.

Therefore, for his own sake and for the sake of the teacher, he made up his mind that this time he must guard the Xihua Gate, which is the most likely place to pass by when the emperor gets the news that he is going to leave the palace, and he must keep it! After guarding, not only will you be ashamed, but you will also add a bit of brilliance to the teacher.

"Although the time of the DPRK and China collegial meeting is set on the day of Chaohe, it is difficult to guarantee that things will go as planned, then Xie Hong's resourcefulness is really not to be underestimated, Xie Ziqiao launched it secretly and suddenly, even the old man didn't notice it in advance, but Xie Hong just entered the palace ......" Li Dongyang's face was heavy, and he instructed in a low tone:

"Xinliang, when you enter the palace this time, you must be vigilant, and there must be no accidents. The emperor's surname has always been rigid outside and inside, the tighter the force, the stronger his rebound, if the emperor really went to Xihuamen, you should persuade him with kind words, don't put on a solemn appearance, no matter what, you can't let the emperor and Xie Hong converge, so that there is something unbearable! Remember! Remember! ”

"The student wrote it down, please let the teacher be relieved." Wang Xinliang's face showed a resolute look, and he bowed deeply, and then he went out to leave, and his body was even more imposing When he was in Juyong Pass, Li Dongyang saw it in his eyes, even if he was worried, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"Xie Yuqiao, for the sake of the family, you put the safety of the world at risk, if everything goes well this time, it will be fine, if there is a bad pool, the old man will see how you end." Seeing Wang Xinliang's figure disappear in the night, Li Dongyang did not immediately return to the study, but raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky and muttered to himself.

At this time, Wang Xinliang had already walked away, so he didn't hear these whispers from his teacher. If he heard it, he would have been surprised, because the tone was full of resentment and hatred, and it was really inconsistent with the teacher's usual image of leniency and elders.

This is also a matter of course, if Li Dongyang is just a tolerant person, how can he be an official and rank in the cabinet?

…… West Garden, Leopard Room.

"Lao Liu, tell me the truth, is what you just said true? Who murdered his father? Who do you tell me? Zhengde's face was hideous, and he roared in a low voice.

"Long live the old slave...... Old slave ......"

A good temper does not mean that he will not be angry, Zhengde's anger is like a storm that swept in, and Liu Jin happened to be in the center of the storm. It was cool to be in a desperate situation, but the ensuing thunderous anger was even more terrifying, he was trembling on his knees, and his words were incoherent, intermittently like a recurrence of a stroke.

If he hadn't lost his mind in extreme despair, Liu Jin would definitely not have mentioned those secret things, this kind of thing was just his private speculation, how could he know anything inside? Not to mention who did it or the evidence.

He doesn't know if there is anyone behind the scenes, but if he really had that information, he wouldn't be alive today! This is the Imperial Palace, the most noble and terrible place in the world!

"Say! If you don't tell the truth, I'll let you die in front of that old puppet Wang Yue! As soon as Zhengde stretched out his hand, he picked up Liu Jin, and there was no joke in his words, but the murderous intent was fully displayed, obviously really angry.

"Long live the old slave, I really don't know!" Zhengde, who usually laughs and laughs, suddenly became so angry, Liu Jin was really frightened, Wang Yue is the chief supervisor of the celebrant supervisor, if someone really murdered Hongzhi, of course he can't get out of the relationship, but he is indeed innocent, how can he be associated with such a person?

"What I just said is just the old slave's private speculation...... Back then, the old emperor reused Li Guang, and the foreign dynasty also set off a tide of words, and a lot of strange things happened in the palace, so the old emperor could only give up, and Li Guang also committed suicide......"

"Last year......" Liu Jin peeked at Zhengde's expression, knowing that he couldn't hide from what he said, he gritted his teeth and said: "The old emperor originally intended to reopen the West Factory, so as to rectify the Jinyi Wei and the East Factory, and finally retake charge of the celebrant supervisor, this matter is known to many people in the outer court and the inner court, and many people have raised objections, but the old emperor is very insistent, and as a result, it has been stalemate for a while, and ......"

Hongzhi wanted to reopen the West Factory, Liu Jin knew about it, and he was quite happy about it for a while, thinking that his opportunity had come.

The general emperor doesn't like the prince to interfere in politics, but Hongzhi Zhengde's father and son are different, they are more like ordinary fathers and sons, and their feelings are very deep, so Hongzhi is happy to see Zhengde's participation in political affairs, but he has a headache for Zhengde's jumping out of the surname who doesn't like to take care of things.

And the prince always needs manpower to do things, so Liu Jin and his close ministers are in charge, so Liu Jin is quite looking forward to the West Factory.

He didn't take the opposition of the foreign dynasty to heart, Li Guang was unlucky because he was unlucky, otherwise how could it be another fire, and the little princess died young? This time, Long Live Lord has made up his mind, and things will definitely go smoothly.

Because of such thoughts, for Liu Jin, Hongzhi's sudden death brought him extreme shock. He had no evidence, and he didn't know anything inside, but he couldn't figure out how things in the world could be so coincidental. Although the old emperor's body is not very strong, it is not frail and sickly, how could he die so suddenly?

“…… The old slave has a guess at this time, and he will talk nonsense, long live the old slave, you must spare the old slave this time! The old slave has served you since he was a child, and he has no credit......" After explaining, Liu Jin cried again, but this time he didn't dare to hug Zhengde's thigh, but turned to Xie Hong, "Lord Xie, you can help persuade Long Live Lord, the little one is really ......"

"What howl? Get out of here! After listening to Liu Jin's words, Zhengde's face was cloudy, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but Liu Jin's crying annoyed him, so he shook his hand and threw Liu Jin out.

"Thank you Long Live Lord, thank you Long Live Lord......" Liu Jin was stunned, rolled on the ground and got up, and trotted out of the door.

"Big brother, let's catch Wang Yue today and ask for an understanding!" Zhengde turned to Xie Hong and said, "I really can't believe that these damn guys would actually murder my father!" Big brother, you say, can you find out about this matter? ”

Xie Hongzheng was a little distracted: Exercising is really useful, the second brother is only a teenager, and he can throw Liu Jin several steps away at once, although the dead eunuch is not fat, he is also a big living person, and this hand is not small.

He was a little unimpressed with Zhengde's words, and said leisurely: "Second brother, in fact, you are the emperor, so you don't need to be so troublesome in trying the case, as long as you rely on the free heart certificate." ”

"Freedom of the Heart?" Zhengde was stunned, this new word was the first time he had heard it.

"Well," Xie Hong thought for a while and explained: "Actually, we also have a similar word in the Ming officialdom, which is the one commonly used by the officials, yes, it is the rumor!" To put it bluntly, the meaning of free heart is to say: whoever is guilty, he is guilty, and he is guilty if he is not guilty; Whoever says he is not guilty, he is not guilty, and he is not guilty......"

I have to say that the Chinese bureaucrats are really very learned and capable, especially the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty.

Rumors of things, don't get punished for words, these two are the big killers of the civil servants, there is no control, as long as you want to get it, you can say it, and then you can also gather people to coax! This is called the tide of words, there is evidence to do, there is no evidence to do it, someone asks, just the word wind is enough to deal with it.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, this rumor was really taken to the extreme, especially in the emperor, and the officials were like the paparazzi of later generations. Every move of the emperor, they can give it various explanations, and then put it forward in the court.

For example, Zhengde is like this, his leopard room is actually a playground, but there are many rumors outside, some people say that he has countless maids in the leopard room, and some people say that he is here to engage in the wind of Longyang. But in fact, the current leopard house is mainly a baseball stadium and dormitory, and in the previous life, it was mostly a training ground plus a racetrack and a zoo, and that's it.

Xie Hong knows Zhengde's feelings for Hongzhi, and he can also understand his feelings, but persuading some people to die and not be resurrected or something is not Xie Hong's style, how can there be revenge in mourning? He simply made such a suggestion. There is also a fight between the left and right, so why not just set a bigger name?

Avenge Emperor Xiaozong!

Righteousness as a son of man is filial piety; To be a ruler is to be loyal; For the world, it is to support justice!

By the way, it can also make Zhengde and himself vent their evil anger, as for the unjust, false and wrongful cases that may be caused...... Whatever? There are many unjust cases in the world, and this one is not bad.

Besides, with rights comes obligations, and since ministers have the power to do things, they also have the obligation to be convicted by rumors, and as for whistleblowers...... Isn't Liu Jin that?

"Good!" Zhengde's eyes lit up, slapped it heavily on the table, and said loudly: "That's it, avenge your father, just tonight!" ”

Seeing that Zhengde cheered up, Xie Hong smiled heartily, could he be regarded as opening the curtain of terrorist politics? Forget it, whatever, horror is horror, anyway, it's not aimed at the common people.

Being an official always has to be a little risky!
