However, the cabinet did not move lightly, after all, Liu Jian is a person who has gone through the sea of eunuchs, and he knows better than anyone else that a slave like Liu Jin can have what he is saying today, not because this person has any merits, or because he has the ability to take charge of himself. Liu Jin is just a chess piece of the emperor, and this chess piece is the only tool of the emperor to check and balance the minister.

Behind Liu Jin is a group of eunuchs in the East Palace, these people are also deeply trusted by the emperor, Zhu Houzhao trusts them, and they are in the same breath with Liu Jin, because of common interests, they launched a more shrewd Liu Jin to increase their power.

Therefore, if you want to bring down Liu Jin, you can't just impeach, today is not the first emperor, the more impeachment, the more you will get the emperor's protection.

After Liu Jian heard the news of Liaodong, he was angry and funny, the funny thing is that there is such a stupid person in the world, angry is a guerrilla general, who actually directly destroyed the balance of power of the current Ming Dynasty, the Mongol tribes of Southern Mo are now huge, and they can gather hundreds of thousands of rangers at any time, if this time they are given the truth, so that they have the opportunity to knock on the pass and attack, although the Ming Dynasty has now begun to pay attention to military preparation, the size of the new army has also reached 100,000, plus hundreds of thousands of border troops, strong strength, But it would be unwise to confront this new steppe overlord without any preparation.

Liu Jian immediately invited several important henchmen to his house and began to plan to deal with them, in their opinion, the first thing they should do at the moment is to get rid of Liu Jin. Liu Jin is becoming more and more arrogant, and the power struggle with Xiao Jing in the inner palace has seized many rights from Xiao Jing.

What's more, there are some shameless ministers who seem to have seen Liu Jin and the power behind him, and they are shameless to worship his door, such people are naturally very rare, but it is not nothing, Liu Jian thinks that it can no longer be tolerated.

In Liu Jian's study, the doors and windows of the study have been confined, and the space is not large, but for the sake of confidentiality, Liu Jian can only do this.

Liu Jian sat in the study and was silent for a moment, his eyes fell on Li Dongyang, Liu Daxia, and Ma Wensheng respectively, Xie Qian was on duty in the cabinet, so he couldn't come for the time being, and several people in this study were Liu Jian's right-hand men.

However, Liu Jian's attention to this matter made Ma Wensheng a little unhappy, in his opinion, Liu Jin is a slave after all, and the important ministers of the court are so cautious and aggressive for a few slaves and maids, which is inevitably a little childish. He forcibly didn't say anything, but it was also his wish to get rid of Liu Jin, but he didn't agree with Liu Jian in the means of getting rid of him.

Liu Jian sighed, took a slow sip of tea, and then said, "Binzhi, come and talk about it." ”

Li Dongyang nodded, and then said: "Today, the Mongolian Khan of the Ministry of Rites has sent a letter of state, asking about the Ming Dynasty's favoritism in favor of the Tatars, this matter must have been known to everyone in advance, because the guerrilla general Liu Xian made an idea, without consulting the imperial court, he actually sent troops to help the Tatars, and the result was a big defeat, injuring more than 2,400 officers and soldiers. This Liu Xian acted without authorization, and this bullying is a certainty. However, Liu first was promoted by Liu Jin, the eunuch of the West Factory, who was related to Liu Jin. However, he has always been quite favored, and it is not easy to break him down. Therefore, Liu Gong convened to discuss a countermeasure, this is a God-given opportunity, and it must not be missed. ”

When Li Dongyang spoke, he couldn't help but secretly observe the faces of Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia, and then said: "There are rumors of the Eight Tigers in the Jingshi, they rely on the emperor's favor and act wantonly, which has already caused a lot of resentment. But Liu Jin is different, this person is now in control of His Majesty's daily life, and he is in charge of the West Factory, and the affairs in the palace are now arranged by him, so he must not be careless, so if he does not have a complete method, he will not be able to move him at all. ”

Ma Wensheng raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but say: "It's nothing more than a eunuch, he is indiscriminate, notorious, since you want to overthrow him, you only need to list a few crimes, why make such a big fuss." ”

After hearing this, Liu Jian smiled undeniably, Ma Wensheng is still a little bookish, in fact, this is not just Ma Wensheng's idea, most of the ministers of the Hongzhi Dynasty seem to be naïve to report this kind of scholar. The reason for this is that the first emperor spoiled everyone, always thinking that as long as there are high-sounding reasons and unassailable evidence of guilt, justice can be obtained.

Liu Jian mentally understood that things were not simple, but he didn't refute Ma Wensheng's intentions, but just said with a smile: "What you said makes sense, but it's better to be prepared, and it won't be wrong to be cautious after all." ”

Ma Wensheng naturally didn't want to say anything, but just sighed.

Li Dongyang, who was on the side, couldn't help but say: "What does Gong Liu think? ”

Liu Jian called everyone over, naturally he already had a draft in his heart, he smiled, and said: "If you want to get rid of Liu Jin, first of all, you must let Your Majesty know the harm of Liu Jin to the country this time, so the old man's meaning is that he and his brother don't have to be impeached for the time being, but wait for ......."

"Wait?" Ma Wensheng frowned.

Liu Daxia was also stunned for a while, Liu Daxia is the secretary of the military department, this time the guerrilla general Liu Xian acted without his will and without the instructions of the military department, in his opinion, it is an extremely serious matter, if he waits as Liu Jian said, wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world?

As the secretary of the Ministry of War, Liu Daxia felt that it was his duty to punish this Liu Xian.

Li Dongyang just licked his mouth and didn't say a word, but obviously, he seemed to have insight into Liu Jian's intentions.

Liu Jian smiled slightly, and said: "Waiting is not indulgence, but waiting for the best time, with the old man's prediction, the Mongolian Khan is only afraid that he will immediately send a letter to the imperial court, Xingshi will ask for guilt, and when the mountain rain is coming, the emperor will take the initiative to ask for a thorough investigation of the case in order to calm the matter, and then the cabinet will start with Liu Xian and ruthlessly catch it together with Liu Jin." Not only the cabinet has to put pressure on the emperor, but the Mongolian Khan must also put enough pressure on the emperor, after all, the emperor has just inherited the unification, and he will inevitably be a little panicked when he suddenly encounters such a big thing, and at that time, it is the best time. ”

Ma Wensheng hesitated, as if he felt that it was indeed safer to do so, but he refused to say anything.

Liu Daxia pretended to be eating tea and didn't express his opinion, but for him, all he wanted was the result, Liu Xian must deal with it, and Liu Jin is this Liu Xian's brother, if it weren't for this Liu Jin, how could there be such a confused Liu Xian, taking the opportunity to bring down Liu Jin, it would be harmless for him.

Li Dongyang was thoughtful, and couldn't help but say: "What if the emperor didn't panic? ”

This is a very fatal problem, the key to the problem lies in the emperor's mentality, the Mongolian side requires severe punishment, and the cabinet side also takes the opportunity to make things bigger, it stands to reason that there is indeed no problem, but if the emperor does not eat this set, or has a good psychological quality, then what should I do?

Li Dongyang always felt that there was something wrong with this method, but since the crown prince ascended the throne, although he obediently listened to the government at first, Li Dongyang still felt that he had not understood the surname of the new emperor.

Liu Jian said confidently: "After all, the emperor is young, and he has just ascended the throne, he is still a child, a child, he has never seen any big storms, this heart is messed up, and things are simple." The old man thought about it, and it was the only way, but the most important thing at the moment was that Liu Jin was in front of the emperor all night after all, so it really didn't work, so we went to the queen mother to ask for Yizhi. ”

Liu Daxia couldn't help but nodded, deeply impressed by Liu Jian's words.

Li Dongyang was no longer silent, he felt that Liu Jian's idea was indeed feasible, and for now he would temporarily connive at the guerrilla general Liu Xian, and when the time came, he would take the opportunity to overthrow Liu Jin.

It's just that Li Dongyang is an extremely cautious person, although he thinks it is feasible, he still thinks that things will not be so simple.

Liu Jian sighed and said: "The old man is telling the truth, this idea is not feasible, the old man may not have any certainty, if Liu Chengfeng is here, maybe this matter is more certain, after all, this King of Chu knows His Majesty quite well, and knows the emperor's surname, just don't mention this person, this person can be his vassal king with peace of mind, it is his blessing, and it is also the blessing of the court." ”

Liu Jian immediately said: "Therefore, the current letter of the Mongols, for the time being, will be pressed, and when they don't hear a reply, they will definitely hand over a more strongly worded reply, and then we will do it." ”

Everyone nodded silently, only Li Dongyang said: "Yes, I heard that the eunuch Zhang Yong is very unfriendly with Liu Jin, this person, you can contact him, maybe you can borrow him to take down this Liu Jin." ”

Li Dongyang said it, he felt a little regretful in his heart, he knew in his heart that Zhang Yong was also one of the Eight Tigers, and he had always been intolerable by the ministers, and he was afraid that everyone would not agree with this opinion, in the eyes of the Qinglius, dealing with eunuchs like Zhang Yong was a major issue.

Sure enough, Ma Wensheng couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but say: "We are all noble bodies, how can we conspire with the erector?" ”

Liu Jian first agreed a little, but after listening to Ma Wensheng's words, he seemed to feel reasonable, and said lightly: "Let's discuss this matter later." ”

Although it was said that it would be discussed again, the bland expression clearly told Li Dongyang that this matter was not discussed.

Li Dongyang had no choice but to be stunned and nodded a little embarrassed.
