Chapter 389: The Imperial Staff
Emperor Zhengde was slightly stunned, and his face was extremely strange. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Rao is that he firmly believes that Han Wen will not practice witchcraft, but he still feels very uncomfortable when he really sees this villain full of silver needles.
"The emperor, the slave has served the emperor for many years, and she is loyal to the emperor. The slave can endure everything, but he can't bear the traitor cursing the emperor. β
Liu Jin cried like a tearful person, and her voice was full of emotion.
Emperor Zhengde hesitated a little and said, "But why did Han Qing curse me, I treated him well." β
Liu Jin saw that the emperor's mind was loose, so he saw the stitches and said: "People's hearts are unpredictable, this old man Han should be jealous of the emperor's failure to punish the slave maid, so he holds a grudge and curses the emperor with witchcraft." β
In the end, Liu Jin is still the person who often accompanies the emperor, and after this conversation, Zhengde has subjectively fallen to Liu Jin's side.
"What do you think I should do about this?"
Liu Jin replied respectfully: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, so naturally he can deal with it as he wants." The slave did not dare to speak falsely. β
I have to say that Liu Jin grasped Zhengde's mind just right.
Zhengde ascended to the throne at a young age, and the ministers naturally hoped that he would be an obedient puppet and completely release his power.
In this regard, Zhengde's father, Emperor Hongzhi, is a good example.
Deeply dwelling in the Forbidden City, he ruled by the arch, attended various ceremonies as a symbol and symbol, and fulfilled the duties of a son of heaven. As for other things, they are left to the cabinet and the six ministries and nine temples.
But Zhengde is obviously not such a king, he wants to break through this shackles and live freely. This is contrary to the aspirations of the civil service community.
Han Wen, as the leader of the foreign dynasty, will naturally jump out to compete with eunuchs like Liu Jin, but in this way, it is easy for Liu Jin to secretly change the concept and use his strength.
Emperor Zhengde's face was gloomy and uncertain, and after being silent for a long time, Fang shook his head and said, "I originally thought that Han Qing and them were for the sake of the country, but I never thought that it was for their own selfish interests. It's bitter for Liu Companion. β
Liu Jin cried and said: "For the sake of the emperor, the slave can bear any suffering." But the slave doesn't want to see the emperor being set aside by those civil officials. β
This sentence was like a sharp sword piercing Zhengde's heart.
The emperor, the minister, and the eunuch are definitely the three forces that check and balance each other in the Ming Dynasty.
If either side is too strong, it will affect the balance between the three.
Therefore, when the power of one party suddenly explodes, the other two sides will unite to suppress it.
And now it is clear that the civilian group is the strongest.
Zhengde has just ascended the throne, and he is obviously not their opponent, and he needs the help of eunuchs.
At this moment, Zhengde is suddenly enlightened.
Why did the civil officials write together to impeach Liu Jin and the other Eight Tigers, this is to pull out the body that can be used around him, so as to completely empty him.
Once these eunuchs who were favored by him were cut off, Zhengde, the young son of heaven, really became a lonely man, and had to be at the mercy of civil officials to be a puppet similar to the ancient virtuous monarchs.
It's dangerous, it's really dangerous!
Emperor Zhengde took a deep breath and sighed in his heart.
He almost did the stupid thing of cutting off his arm, but fortunately, Liu Jin reminded him in time.
"Liu Banban, you can rest assured. I'd like to see who dares to make a fuss about this. β
In less than a stick of incense, Emperor Zhengde's attitude towards the Korean language changed greatly, which even Liu Jin did not realize.
But now that his crisis has been lifted, the next step is to fight back.
......
......
As soon as the news of Han Wen's violent death in Jinyiwei Prison came out, it caused an uproar in the foreign courts.
The civil officials were excited for a while, saying that they would devour Liu Jin, a eunuch, alive and avenge Han Butang.
Wang Shouren, director of the frame department of the Ministry of War, was even more indignant, and wrote a letter to hold grievances for Hanwen.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and many low-level officials of the fifth or sixth grade followed Wang Shouren's example and linked Han Wen's violent death with Liu Jin.
This time the situation is different from the previous Korean book.
Because that time it was Jiuqing, a senior official of the ministry. And this time it was a low-ranking official, and there were more of them.
Liu Jin was furious when he heard the news.
He didn't dare to touch the first-grade master, and he didn't dare to touch these five or six-grade shrimps?
Liu Jin immediately went to Emperor Zhengde to cry and ask the Son of Heaven to call the shots.
At this time, Emperor Zhengde had been completely bewitched by Liu Jin, and he could still distinguish between right and wrong. He believes that this is a demonstration of the civilian group to him, and if he retreats at this moment, he is likely to be kicked in the face by the civilian officials, and it will be difficult to establish the prestige of the monarch.
Zhengde thought about it again and again and decided to use the court staff to establish his authority.
Because there were too many Wenchen in the book, in the end, the emperor personally selected more than 30 people, put them off the shelf, and Liu Jin, the eunuch of Dongchang, personally supervised the punishment.
Among the list of court staff is Wang Shouren, the director of the frame department of the Ministry of War.
When he learned that he was going to be escorted to the noon gate to receive the cane with more than thirty colleagues, he did not show the slightest panic, but dusted off the blue ash on his sleeve and resolutely went.
Of the more than 30 civil servants, none of them showed fear, their eyes widened angrily, looking at Liu Jin, who was not far away, and the disdain in their eyes was about to burst out.
And Liu Jin, the admiral of Dongchang in a big red python robe, his face became distorted because of the cruel smile.
He walked to Wang Shouren's side, raised the orchid and pointed out: "Our family has no grudge against the king, so why is it so painful." β
Wang Shouren stared at Liu Jin coldly, and spit out a word for a long time.
"Phew!"
Liu Jin wiped the foaming stars on his face, and said in a strange manner: "Does the king think that in addition to our family, he can Qinghai Yan, and the prosperous world is too peaceful?" You're wrong. Without our family, there will be others, as long as people's hearts do not change, this world will not change! β
"The traitor bewitched His Majesty, and he dared to speak falsely."
Wang Shouren did not give in at all, and said coldly: "I don't know if there will be Wang in the future, but if you don't get rid of this traitor, Daming will be restless!" β
"Haha, haha......"
Liu Jin bent over with a smile.
"The king is really naΓ―ve, in this case, our family doesn't need to talk to you more."
He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has a decree, Wang Shouren, the head of the military department, and others discuss the government in vain, bewitch the monarch's father, and order him to have forty court rods. β
After saying that, several brocade-clothed guards stood up and dragged Wang Shouren and others to the ground.
It was customary for those brocade-clothed guards to wrap Wang Shouren and others in thick felt, in order to protect the body of the person who was being sceptered from irreversible damage.
However, Liu Jin waved his hand and said sharply: "Slow." Since the king and the others are iron-clad, it seems that there is no need for this thick felt. Then they will be satisfied, and the staff of the court shall be stripped of their clothes." β
