"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Liu Jin stood on the side, saw Zhu Houzhao's iron-green face at a glance, and called twice Seeing that the little emperor only didn't agree, he knew that this volume was not trivial, and hurriedly raised his voice and shouted: "Your Majesty, but what is in the way?" ”

At this time, Zhu Houzhao suddenly came back to his senses, and angrily stuffed the thing into Liu Jin's hand, and then said sharply: "See for yourself!" ”

For a while, he couldn't notice whether Zhu Houzhao's anger was coming at him or at this thing, Liu Jin immediately carefully took the book, opened it and hurriedly swept it, his face was even more ugly than Zhu Houzhao's face before.

Although he was not very familiar with this handwriting, the content in it was clearly a detailed description of the notes sent to his home, and the bad deeds of some people in his pocket after he stepped down from Liu Bo, Xie Qian, and others.

At this moment, he only felt that his mood was agitated and uncomfortable, and after a while, he sincerely knelt down in front of his clothes.

"Your Majesty, this is all blood, and the slaves and maids are wronged!"

"Get up! In front of the public, let people see what it looks like! Zhu Houzhao snorted angrily, seeing that Liu Jin was stunned, he glanced at the civil and military officials who had just retreated to the noon gate, and said sharply, Liubi just took advantage of the large number of people in the upper and lower courts, and I don't know who threw it on the ground! Also, what do you call it wronged, our Ming Dynasty has had a system since the time of Emperor Taizong, and anonymous documents are strictly prohibited, will Lian still blame you for such a hidden thing? ”

Liu Jin raised his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao, and when he saw the undoubted expression on the little emperor's face, his heart was extremely ironing for a while. Thinking that there were also people in the Eight Tigers who coveted the eunuch, but he said in front of the little emperor that it was not conducive to doing things because there were too many people and miscellaneous mouths, so Zhu Houzhao agreed to let him be in charge of the eunuch alone; The court repeatedly reprimanded him with words, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say that he transferred people to their posts and even dismissed them; Even for Xu Xun's favor, his trust in him is no less. So he couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes vigorously, and then he stood up.

"If you want to sue, you can sue generously, what is it to come to this kind of fame! Someone came, sent a message to Jinyi Weibei Town to Fu Si Ye Guang, and asked him to check it immediately, especially if this volume of things fell in the position of the people after today's court meeting, it must have been left behind by those low-grade palace members, and those people were all arrested and interrogated strictly! Also, go check the pen sisters of these palace members......"

Without waiting for Zhu Houzhao to finish speaking, Liu Jin knelt down again, he didn't look at Zhu Houzhao's surprised expression, kowtowed, and said sentence by sentence: "Your Majesty, this matter is because of the slave and maid after all, it is better for the emperor to depose the slave and maid first, and then ......."

"Liandu said that Liandu will not believe these inexplicable reprimands!"

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao raised his voice suddenly, Liu Jin raised his head and said: "Even so, the emperor does not need to work on the people who pass by in the position where the Fusi left things in Beizhen are limited, and all the people who may pass through here are summoned and made them kneel in Danqi. With so many people together, it is not impossible for no one else to see such an obvious thing left on the ground. As long as someone sees the first complaint coming up or the person turns himself in, the matter will be immediately revealed! ”

As soon as these words came out, Latham's face suddenly changed. However, seeing that Zhu Houzhao was obviously considering the possibility of doing so, he thought about it and lowered his head and remained silent. Sure enough, the next moment, the little emperor nodded and said, "It's okay, let the officials of Honglu Temple gather all the suspicious palace members according to the position of today's court meeting, and they will be interrogated by the superintendent." Once it is found out who dares to leave such a document on the royal road so boldly, Lian must pick his skin! An hour later, three or four hundred officials were summoned to the Fengtian Temple. When Yiying people heard that they were so excited, it was actually to inquire about an anonymous document that had fallen on the royal road for some reason, and there was an uproar up and down for a while. However, Liu Jin didn't seem to see everyone's expressions, and glanced around at everyone condescendingly, and then said slowly: "The ancestors have the old system, the palace people, and it is forbidden to vote anonymous documents." In the eighth year of orthodoxy, the internal envoy Zhang Huan Gu Zhong anonymously wrote a trial slander, and the incident ordered the Jinyi Wei to sheath, after obtaining Huanzhong's handwriting, the Ying Temple will make the two of them late in the city, so that the inner palace is out of view. Since then, this has been strictly forbidden. I didn't expect that to this day, there are still people who knowingly commit crimes! ”

Although it was only an hour, it was enough for Liu Jin to let the celebrant who was familiar with the laws and regulations turn over the old files, and at this time, seeing that many people below him were silent, he slowed down and said in a calm tone: "Of course, there are at most one or two of you who do this, so don't bother others." One person does things one person and one person, and he readily admits it, and he doesn't lose a man! And if you refuse to admit it, as long as someone sees it and says it truthfully, the matter is over! But if no one agrees from the beginning to the end, then ...... See if your mouth is hard or your knees are hard! ”

Most of the officials below are below the fifth grade, and even though some of them can see the little emperor in the deliberations of the Wenhua Palace, they often have no qualifications to speak alone outside the discussion of politics, so naturally they can't tell whether Liu Jin is falsely preaching the holy decree, or the Son of Heaven really means this. For a while, everyone kneeling on the ground looked at me, but one stick of incense passed, and two sticks of incense passed...... No one has come forward to admit or sue them. In the face of this stalemate atmosphere, Liu Jin, who thought that he would be caught at first, gradually became impatient, and immediately ordered the two eunuchs on the side angrily: "You are watching here, if anyone stands up, go and report to our family, we want to see how long they can stand up!" ”

He must find out who is against him Liu Jin! Taking advantage of such a sudden incident, it is also good to kill the arrogance of these officials. It's better for someone to come forward to defend or defend, then there must be a lot of people going down this time!

Although not all the palace members were summoned to Fengtianmen, after all, three or four hundred people were an extraordinary number, not to mention that the five mansions and six departments were not enough to operate all of a sudden, and the bad influence of this matter was enough to make the high palace bigwigs not to be underestimated. In addition to Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the cabinet of Wenyuan Pavilion, he received many complaints at once, and even the officials and yamen in the Qianbu Corridor outside suddenly had many more people. Lin Han, the secretary of the ministry, faced Zhang Fuhua, who was full of righteous indignation, and Xie Feng, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Tu Xun, the secretary of the criminal department, and several waiters and waiters, he finally stood up.

"I'll go meet Motosuke first! Now, although it is not Wei Xia, the sun at noon has gradually become a little poisonous, and there are quite old and frail people in the middle, if there is someone who can't stand it and gets injured and sick, it is not only unheard of, but also the emperor's clearing! Everyone, please go back first, since I am a Heavenly Palace, this matter is incumbent! ”

Lin Han has always been a man of the same nature, and since he dropped these words loudly, others have no reason to believe it. Even if some officials used to think that Lin Han, as a well-known Qingliu, was so close to Xu Xun that it was really undignified as a minister, but now that they see people taking care of things, those concerns will naturally be dispelled. And Zhang Shihua, who had a close personal relationship with Lin Han, did not leave first, but waited for almost everyone else to leave before he said with a heavy face: "The emperor's trust in Liu Jin is too deep-rooted. ”

Xie Feng didn't leave, and when he heard this, he smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for Shizhen's hard work, I would have left a long time ago, and I don't need to look at this scene...... When he was there, Liu Jin didn't dare to be arrogant so far, but now that he has only been gone for a long time, Liu Jin dares to act so recklessly with the holy will! It must be known that although the ancestors have always strictly forbidden anonymous submissions, they have never used such a fierce interrogation method! If Liu Jin has no one to resist the title, I am afraid that the consequences will be even worse! Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua nodded heavily. However, at this time, it was not the time to say this, Zhang Shihua and Xie Feng immediately went back to their yamen by themselves, while Lin Han hurried to the palace. But just when he hurried all the way and finally arrived at the right gate, he found a fat middle-aged eunuch pacing back and forth in front of the door.

It turned out to be the Imperial Horse Eunuch Gu Dayong of the Admiral West Factory!

Gu Dayong also caught a glimpse of Lin Han, and when he came forward with a smile, he nodded slightly and asked, "Is Lin Shangshu here for those officials in front of Fengtianmen?" ”

Although he knew that Xu Xun had a good relationship with Gu Dayong and other eunuchs, Lin Han had never been pretentious about these eunuchs, so he asked stiffly at this time: "So what?" ”

"If so, our family will have to ask Lin Shangshu to dispel his intention to intercede for the time being." Although Lin Han's face was slightly gloomy, Gu Dayong still said casually as if he hadn't seen it, "The reason why the emperor agreed to Gonggong Liu in this matter is just because of a moment of righteous indignation, and he will be able to come back to his senses in a while, but if you come forward at this time, the emperor will think that it is such a thing that is caused by officials outside." If you want to see Yuan Fu to discuss, then you don't need to, Yuan Fu and Wang Ge Lao have already sent people to Si Zajian and Liu Gong to get involved, and there is no result yet. ”

Everything that could be said was said by Gu Dayong, and Lin Han couldn't help frowning. However, when everyone arrived here, he would not be unwilling to go back here, so he hesitated for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Grandpa Gu is here to stop me just to say these few words?" ”

"That's right." Gu Dayong nodded neatly, and then raised an index finger, "First, I promised Brother Xu not to let you elders get into any trouble." Seeing that Lin Han was stunned, he raised a second finger, "Second, if there is any emergency, I will do my best to inquire carefully." Immediately after, he raised a third finger, "Third, and the most important point, if you want to speak, choose someone who the emperor can listen to." So at this time, there is already the emperor's most listenable person to speak. ”

Xu Xun had made many arrangements before leaving, which Lin Han knew, but he didn't know that the arrangements were so detailed. At this moment, he remembered that when Xu Xun invited him and Zhang Fuhua out of the mountain in Jinling, he had said that they only had to do the right thing in front, and those troubles that were easy to cause fire had their own rules. But now that someone has really paved the way first, he has a few complicated emotions.

It was originally the duty of the people to advise the king, but now he did not come forward for fear of disaster, which is really against the sage doctrine he has learned since he was a child!

However, Lin Han was hesitating, but he heard someone calling behind him, and when he turned his head, he recognized it as Zhang Cai who was hurrying under his feet. Seeing Zhang Cai rushing forward in three steps and two steps, seeing that he was unharmed and full of joy, he was about to speak with a long sigh of relief, he figured it out unconsciously, and said with a faint smile without waiting for him to speak: "Since Father-in-law Gu said that there will be results in a while, my trip is also in vain, what is the matter in Xilu, go back to the yamen of the Ministry of Officials to say." ”

This is the most strong official book, when did he change his character?

Zhang Cai glanced at Gu Dayong in confusion, and saw that he bowed slightly at himself, so he followed Lin Han's tone and said: "Yes, since this is the case, then go back to the yamen of the Ministry of Officials to speak, in fact, it is for the sake of the previous investigation of the officials......

Seeing Zhang Cai accompanying Lin Han to turn around and leave, looking at the shadows of the two Xu Dang backbones who were more than 20 years old, Gu Dayong couldn't help but rub his smooth chin, and he was also relieved for a while.

Others don't know what this sudden anonymous revelation is about, but they can't hide it from his eyes! Nine times out of ten, this matter is not outside the palace, but inside the palace! Back then, people called a few of their old people in the East Palace the Eight Tigers, but now except for Liu Jin, the arrogance of others is limited after all, not to mention that Liu Jin has to grasp all the financial paths, if it weren't for his other financial resources and good friends with Xu Xun, I'm afraid that I would be angry in my heart! ...,"Speaking of which, it's still the Latham guy who is smart and knows where to go best!" ”

In the palace, it is said that there are two people in the name of the little emperor, the Empress Dowager Wang and the Empress Dowager Zhang.

However, it is true that this is a close elder, but neither of them speaks of state affairs, not to mention that the little emperor is very assertive in some matters, even if the queen mother of the two palaces says it, she may not be willing to listen. Moreover, the queen mother of the two palaces is a person who has been in the palace for many years, and may not listen to the words of a eunuch, so Latham naturally will not be overwhelmed. After accompanying Zhu Houzhao back to the Qianqing Palace, he immediately took the emperor to the Yuanhui Palace. Zhou Qiniang, who is studying for the big wedding in August, has to live here for the past few months.

Folk fiancés are not allowed to meet, let alone in the palace with strict rules. However, Zhu Houzhao has always been an unruly person, plus Empress Dowager Zhang knows her son's temper, and she knows that she has been pretending to be a eunuch for a few months before and has not shown her feet, but she is not afraid of any scandal before the wedding. Therefore, at noon on this day, Zhu Houzhao rushed into here, and the palace maids and eunuchs serving up and down could only be regarded as not seeing.

"Seventh sister, seventh sister!"

Hearing this voice, Zhou Qiniang, who had just practiced the ritual all morning, was relieved to see that the two palace maids were all covering their mouths and snickering, and she couldn't help but blush. When Zhu Houzhao came in with Ruisheng in a hurry, the two palace maids slipped away silently, and she couldn't help but say angrily: "How can there be such a person like you, just come and spread it, let's not have a reputation!" ”

Zhu Hou said these two words so that Zhu Houzhao's heart was full of joy, and he immediately waved his hand and said: "What kind of reputation, the queen mother doesn't speak, who dares to chew her tongue, she can't be spared!" If Liantian doesn't come, how difficult will your life be alone......" Seeing that Zhou Qiniang's face turned red all of a sudden, as if he was about to get angry, he quickly coughed lightly and said, "Of course, Lian's life is even more difficult...... I said, Seventh Sister, you are so considerate and considerate of me, I, the emperor, have to deal with a few feet thick all day long, and I can't wait to be so busy that my feet don't touch the ground, and I can only relax when I come to see you......"

"What are you busy with, I'm not a three-year-old child, I want you to go to the Xiyuan every day, and you deliberately let people guard the door of Taisu Palace, aren't you afraid that I will see you always messing around?"

Zhou Qiniang angrily snatched Zhu Houzhao's sentence, and when she saw Ruisheng behind her, she looked out with her head solemnly, with an expression of not seeing anything and hearing nothing, remembering that she had violated the rules again at this time, she couldn't help but have an urge to sigh. Following those female officials to learn the rules, she has never been serious about making any arsenic leaks, but Berry really faces an emperor like Zhu Houzhao, but she can't maintain the solemnity and dignity of the female officials, and even she doesn't know what is going on.

Just now, Zhou Qiniang almost pointed her finger on her face, but Zhu Houzhao was not annoyed, but very happy. At this time, seeing that people turned their heads away, he was suddenly inexplicable, and turned his head to catch a glimpse of Ruisheng still there, and he said in annoyance: "Ruisheng, what's the matter with you kid, do you want to get in the way of the connection?" ”

"Your Majesty, the slaves don't want to get in the way, but as you said before, remind me when it's almost noon, you must know that there are still hundreds of palace members kneeling in front of Fengtian Gate."

Seeing that the little emperor was stunned, Rayson immediately shut up and said more. However, Zhou Qiniang listened carefully, although she never intervened in the major affairs of the court, but for this kind of situation that she had never heard of, she still couldn't help but ask: "There are hundreds of officials kneeling in front of Fengtianmen?" What's going on? "..., Ruisheng glanced at Zhu Houzhao, who was not very good-looking, and didn't dare to speak, until Zhu Houzhao bowed slightly, he told today's events as they were, and at the end he looked at Zhou Qiniang and said: "Miss Zhou, the emperor is in a very bad mood for this, so the slaves and maids have the courage to invite the emperor to come here to sit and relax, and please advise and advise." ”

With that, Latham slipped away at a flying speed. Zhu Houzhao only came back to his senses and found that the person was nowhere to be seen, and immediately scolded hatefully: "This guy, if he has a master, he must have a servant, just like his old master, he used to think he was honest, but now he has become so slippery!" ”

Zhou Qiniang looked thoughtfully at the door curtain that was still shaking gently after it was lowered, and only stood up for a while before she stood up and said, "Your Majesty, when you encounter this kind of thing, you shouldn't come to me, but to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces." I have shallow knowledge, and I don't know if such a thing has happened in the palace before, but even if the queen mother of the two palaces has not seen it with her own eyes, she should have heard of it, and there are rules and regulations for how to deal with it. Now this kind of move to make hundreds of officials kneel in Fengtianmen to surrender or go out of the way, I feel unreasonable at first glance, and I ask you to think twice. ”

Suddenly, listening to Zhou Qiniang speak in such a formal tone, Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt a little unaccustomed. However, listening to it, he couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression, and finally stretched out his hand to help the person up, but asked with some hesitation: "Seventh Sister is saying that Lian shouldn't do this?" ”

"I just think that if the emperor insists on making them surrender or take the lead, he should at least come to Fengtianmen in person, so that the upper and lower levels are afraid of the emperor's power, and they may be touched. Has the emperor thought about it, there are many old officials among them, if someone can't support it and there are casualties, wouldn't it damage the emperor's prestige? ”

"This ......"

"All in all, without further ado, the emperor should go to Qingning Palace or Renshou Palace to ask the queen mother of the two palaces!"

Ruisheng didn't wait long outside, but he saw the door curtain move, and then he found that Zhou Qiniang couldn't help but push Zhu Houzhao out. Faced with this scene, his eyes widened for a while, and he hurriedly turned his back for a while, until Zhu Houzhao walked by his side and left angrily, and he hurriedly followed.

After two quarters of an hour in the palace of the Empress Dowager of Qingning Palace, Zhu Houzhao immediately sent Luan to Fengtianmen. As soon as he walked on his front foot, someone immediately hurriedly went to the supervisor to report Liu Jin. However, after the end of the eunuch, there was a distance between the palace wall and Fengtianmen, and when Liu Jin hurried to arrive on a stool, he found that the palace members who were kneeling in front of Fengtianmen had dispersed. Faced with this scene, he was drumming in his heart for a while, and he settled down before he stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, ...... you are"

"I went to see the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager said that although it has always been strictly forbidden to submit anonymous documents, it has always been a traitor who covets grace, or uses it to slander the king's heart. Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin and said, "Just now, these palace members, Lian has asked Beizhen Fusi to calm down Li Yifeng to write down all the names, and you can ask the inner factory to inquire about it when you go back." It's not a hot day today, and there are more than a dozen or twenty people who faint after two hours, and if it really encounters a summer day, maybe someone will die! At that time, there will inevitably be someone pointing at your nose and scolding the traitorous eunuch, pointing at Lian's nose and scolding the faint king, and even if Xu Xun is not there, he will definitely be scolded as a traitor! ”

Liu Jin didn't say that the little emperor actually took out the four Yu of the empress dowager, and he felt bitter for a while, but he could only smile and agree. He was able to enter the East Palace to serve Zhu Houzhao because of Li Guangzhi's hometown, thinking about how loudly Li Guang was in the Hongzhi period, hundreds of officials impeached each other, and Emperor Hongzhi was humble and admonished, but he still kept Li Guang back, until the then Empress Dowager Zhou's words, Li Guangfang was afraid of suicide. Now his momentum seems to be far greater than Li Guang's, but he can't take it lightly, it seems that the Empress Dowager Wang has ignored it in the past, but he will have to stammer a lot in the future!

Fortunately, the little emperor didn't dwell on this topic for too long, and then changed his tone and asked: "The matter of building a martyr's shrine on the nine sides has just been approved, Xu Xun wrote to ask Wang Yue Weining to regain the hereditary title of count, and you and the three of them will discuss this matter with the cabinet." There are only three words in the union, no delay! ”

Liu Jin's face froze with a smile on his face for a while. Consult? These three words are out, that is ironclad, what else is there to discuss?

Than: After a stop for more than half a month, during the last three days of the double period, I still had to summon a monthly pass...... Double, one for two, ...... on the fingers. ）
