Jinyi Wei Prison, as long as the people in the capital hear this name, they can't help but shudder, because this name represents cruelty, blood and death, as long as it is related to this name, there is absolutely no good thing. However, not everyone can enter the Jinyi Prison, generally only those officials will be sent to the prison when they commit crimes, and ordinary people can only enter the Shuntianfu Prison at most if they commit crimes.

The edict has existed in ancient times, but in many cases it does not refer to the physical prison, but refers to the case that the emperor issued an edict to let the prisoner go to prison, but in the Ming Dynasty, with the emergence of the special department of Jinyiwei, they were ordered by the emperor to supervise hundreds of officials, and the arrests were all officials who committed crimes, so their Jinyiwei private prison was also called the edict prison.

Jinyiwei belongs to the emperor's private army, independent of the state government, and the edict is naturally not subject to the supervision of any state department, but directly belongs to the emperor, but how can the Ming emperors of the past dynasties have the time to manage a small edict, so the edict is almost not subject to any supervision, which also leads to the darkness in the edict, and the prisoners who enter it have almost no hope of coming out alive.

It is also the famous murder of the Imperial Prison, so no matter how beautiful you are in the court, as long as you enter here, you have to stay honestly, otherwise all kinds of cruel punishments such as skinning, tongue pulling, and spine breaking in the Imperial Prison are not vegetarian.

However, there is always an exception to everything, since Liu Jin was arrested and put in prison, instead of being honest, he scolded angrily in the cell every day, almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were scolded by him, Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong, the two murderers who directly led to his downfall, were even more bloody by him, as for Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe and others, they were also the focus of his scolding.

scolded Liu Jin. The Jinyi guard in the edict prison also had a headache. It was the first time they had seen someone who was so arrogant when he was in prison. If it were someone else, I am afraid that they would have been tortured and served a long time ago. However, Liu Jin is not an ordinary person, the previous two Jinyi Wei commanders Zhang Cai and Shi Wenyi are Liu Jin's subordinates, and they are all Liu Jin's people, although with the fall of Liu Jin, Zhang Cai and Shi Wenyi were also sent to prison, but their residual power is still there, and ordinary Jinyi Wei not only dare not touch them. On the contrary, they have to be served with delicious food and drink.

After dinner today, Liu Jin still scolded as usual, and the guards of the brocade clothes had already figured out the rules, knowing that Liu Jin would definitely scold with a sharp voice after breakfast, noon and dinner, in order to make their ears quiet, so many people consciously stayed away from Liu Jin's cell.

"Zhang Yong, you martial artist who can only play a little brute force, if it weren't for the face of His Majesty, the Sprinkle family would have sent you to Fengyang to guard the imperial mausoleum. But if you collude with foreign ministers to rectify our family, sooner or later you will suffer the same retribution......"

Although Liu Jin is old. But the sharp voice was very penetrating, echoing for a long time in the empty prison, and the guards in brocade clothes avoided it, but the prisoners in the cell next to Liu Jin couldn't dodge, these people were also Liu Jin's former comrades, and now they wanted to persuade but didn't dare to persuade them, so they had to cover their ears and shrink into the straw in the corner of the cell.

Liu Jin, who had just eaten, was full of anger and scolded for nearly an hour, and he didn't bring anything like it. However, just when Liu Jinzheng was scolding, suddenly the door of the edict opened, and a young man wearing a brocade guard uniform walked in, only to see this twenty-year-old, tall and strong, and very handsome, but his eyes were too narrow and long, making him always squint when looking at people, and at the same time giving people a sinister impression.

This young man with narrow eyes is Qian Ning, who has just been promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Qian Ning is not surnamed Qian, but he was adopted by a eunuch surnamed Qian when he was a child, so he changed his surname to Qian, and then he was blessed to become a hundred households of the Jinyi Guard, and then became the henchman of the Zhengde Emperor and was promoted to a thousand households, although he was Liu Jin's subordinate on the surface, but in fact he directly obeyed the orders of the Zhengde Emperor, and after Liu Jin fell, he was immediately promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, in charge of the edict.

Seeing Qian Ning coming in, Liu Jin immediately stopped scolding others, but pointed at Qian Ning and began to scold angrily, after all, others may be afraid of Qian Ning, but he is not afraid, even if his life is in Qian Ning's hands now, he still scolds correctly.

However, Qian Ning smiled disdainfully at Liu Jin's angry scolding, and then as if he hadn't heard it, he ordered his subordinates to transfer all the prisoners in the cell next to Liu Jin, because someone was going to see Liu Jin in a while, and he didn't want others to hear the conversation between him and Liu Jin, so he could only transfer those prisoners.

Liu Jin was shocked at first when he saw Qian Ning ignoring him and sending away all the prisoners in the cell next to him, but then his face showed an expression of ecstasy, and he no longer scolded people at the moment, but straightened the prison clothes on his body, and at the same time pulled his messy hair to make himself not look too embarrassed.

Soon the surrounding prisoners were transferred, and then Qian Ning personally ran out of the prison to report, and after a while, he saw Qian Ning accompanying Emperor Zhengde into the Imperial Prison, but when Zhu Houzhao walked in, he couldn't help frowning, because the ubiquitous dampness and rancid smell in the Imperial Prison made him feel very uncomfortable.

I saw Emperor Zhengde coming to Liu Jin's cell under the guidance of Qian Ning, and at this time, all other irrelevant people retreated, and Zhengde only followed Qian Ning and Gu Dayong by his side. And when Liu Jin saw him, he immediately threw himself on the fence in front of the cell very excitedly, knelt on his knees and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, you have finally come to see the old slave, the old slave has been wronged!" ”

For the shouting of grievances, Zhu Houzhao was very calm, I saw him wave his hand to let Qian Ning open the prison door, and then walked into the cell, Gu Dayong behind him hurriedly moved a chair, and waited until Emperor Zhengde sat down, then he said to Liu Jin: "Liu Jin, stand up!" ”

Hearing that Zhu Houzhao did not call himself Liu Companion as before, this made Liu Jin frightened, and his voice trembled at the moment: "Old ...... The old slave doesn't dare, please forgive your sins! ”

"Hmph, now you know that you are guilty?" Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly turned cold, and he stared at Liu Jin aggressively and asked.

Feeling the chill in the emperor's words, Liu Jin couldn't help but tremble, but he still defended himself: "Your Majesty, the old slave is wronged, Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing made up a lot of crimes for the old slave in order to convict the old slave, not to mention the rest, just the old slave's rebellion is simply a big joke in the world, the old slave's loyalty to His Majesty is visible every day, and the old slave is a eunuch, all rely on the power of His Majesty, where is it possible to rebel?" ”

Unexpectedly, when Zhu Houzhao heard Liu Jin's words, he shook his head lightly and said: "Liu Jin, why don't you understand until now, I already know the crimes that Zhang Yong made up for you, and they just want you to be unable to turn over, but I still approve them all after the end, in other words, all your crimes are from my instructions!" ”

"Boom~" Liu Jin only felt like he had been struck by lightning in his head at this time, although he had also had conjectures in this regard before, but until now Emperor Zhengde personally admitted that he wanted to rectify himself, which made Liu Jin still unacceptable for a while. Seeing Liu Jin's shocked and pitiful look, Qian Ning and Gu Dayong behind Zhengde both showed a bit of mockery.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the old slaves have all been in accordance with your instructions all these years, cleaning up those old ministers in the court, so that no one in the court dares to point fingers at what Your Majesty has done, and has handled the government conscientiously, never daring to slack off, why does Your Majesty want to ...... To ......"

When Zhu Houzhao first ascended the throne, there were Xie Qian, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, the three ministers who took care of their lives, and all the government was presided over by the three of them, but Zhengde had no real power in his hands, which naturally made Zhengde very dissatisfied, so he supported the Eight Tigers headed by Liu Jin to seize power, and finally drove Xie Qian out of the court, and the imperial power fell into the hands of the emperor again, but because Zhengde was greedy for fun, he handed over the power of the court to Liu Jin, Others say that Liu Jin is authoritarian, but in fact, the real reason lies in Zhengde.

However, for Liu Jin's words, Zhengde snorted coldly and said: "Yes, it was indeed I who asked you to squeeze out Xie Qian and the others at the beginning, and you also did a good job, and it is precisely because of this that I can rest assured that I will hand over the government to you, but I let you take care of the government, but I did not let you exclude dissidents, be a prestige, and let alone let you form a party for personal gain, and take bribes to enrich yourself!" ”

Zhengde seemed to be a little angry when he said this, only to see him stand up from the chair suddenly, strode up to Liu Jin's front and pointed at him and said: "Look at what you have done over the years, the entire court has become your hall of words, anyone who dares to disobey you has been retaliated against by you, either killed or demoted, others even call you the emperor of the land, there is only one emperor in the whole world, if you are the emperor, then what am I?" ”

After Liu Jin listened to Zhu Houzhao's angry scolding, his forehead was also covered with cold sweat, he was not a fool, otherwise it would be impossible for him to lean towards the government and the opposition, but before he was blinded by the power in his hands, and he was too arrogant and high-profile, he didn't expect that he had touched the emperor's scales.

"Your Majesty, old ...... The old slave is guilty! Liu Jin was stunned for a long time, and finally said with a dead face, he finally understood now that he was really dead end this time.

Zhu Houzhao is also a very emotional person, when he saw Liu Jin's desperate look, he couldn't help but think of the company of Liu Jin and these people when he was in the East Palace before, which made his heart soften, and he said at the moment: "Liu Jin, you can go with confidence, but I am not a ruthless person, your eldest brother's child I will let people send it away, and I will definitely not let you talk about the family!" ”

Liu Jin's original surname was Tan, but he later changed his surname to Liu after entering the palace. Now that Liu Jin heard Zhengde's words to let him feel at ease on the road, his mood suddenly calmed down, and he immediately saw him bow to Zhengde and said: "Your Majesty is merciful, and the slave understands!"
