Today is a routine meeting, because regardless of the official position, in this Wenhua Hall to meet each other, everyone does not have to bow to each other, make a bow, and then sit down for a meeting, so the official name of this regular meeting is called "Yihui".

In today's terms, the main purpose of the meeting is to report the work of the six departments to the cabinet scholars, as well as some acute problems found by their own departments, and to carry out criticism and self-criticism at the same time.

Today's regular meeting is a bit special, because Liu Jin, the chief of the Inner Court, also came, and actually sat in the first place, Li Dongyang and the three of them were lowered one place in turn, and the six departments were surprised in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show their faces.

Now the power of the government is in the hands of Liu Jin, and the promotion of hundreds of officials is also determined by him, it is the end of the year assessment, who stays, who is promoted, who is stepping down, it is Liu Jin's words, at the end of this year, as soon as the assessment is completed, everyone will re-compete for posts, except for the three bachelors, it can be said that all of them are appointed by Liu Jin, who dares to say no word to him?

They usually don't go to the court, but they heard that every time the Chinese military officials of the court disperse the dynasty, in addition to bowing to the emperor, they have to make a bow to the upper left, because Liu Jin is standing there. Liu Jin is now grasping the power very tightly, he really doesn't feel at ease to hand over the affairs of the Si Dynasty to a hairy boy, so he is very diligent and concurrently serves as the eunuch of the Si Dynasty, standing in the left corner of the Zhengde Emperor Longshu case.

Fortunately, it was a meeting, and the officials would not come forward to pay homage to Liu Jin, everyone just sat down according to their rank, and then began to discuss politics.

When it comes to discussing politics, Liu Daguan is in a hurry, and he has just issued dozens of reform orders for the six ministries, and everyone is reluctant to mention the rights and wrongs of these decrees, but if they want to discuss politics, they can't help but mention it, and the officials looked at each other for a long time.

He was in his early forties, with a black face and a slight beard, looking like a simple little businessman, Huang Jing stood up and shook his head, and said impassionedly: "Xiaguan said a few words, Xiaguan is in the middle of the household department, and Gonggong Liu ordered the household department to take advantage of the winter agricultural break to clear the land." Especially the tuntian on all sides. The household department has dispatched local officials, led by the household department examination officers, to Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong, Yansui, Ningxia, Jizhou, Cangzhou and other places to clean up and measure the tuntian.

At present, news has been transmitted back from Jizhou, Cangzhou and other places in the recent vicinity that many local tycoons, officials, and generals in the army have indeed embezzled Tuntian, resulting in soldiers having no land to plant, so that they have no livelihood, and are forced to flee their hometowns with their wives and children.

However, Xia Guanjue's order came from the inner court, but it was not rightly named, those who were ordered to return the corrupt land, the local tyrants, officials and gentry took advantage of this to create rumors, accusing Liu Gonggong of arbitrariness and monopolizing the dynasty, which was very inappropriate for Liu Gonggong's personal reputation, and it was obviously a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, the benefit was the people of the world, but the damage was Liu Gonggong personally, why couldn't the cabinet stand up and take responsibility? ”

Liu Jin didn't understand it first, but when he heard it, he was happy, it turned out to be his own person, and he was about to be humble for a few words, when the crowd suddenly laughed: "Sycophant!" ”

Although there are many people in the hall, they are very quiet, this sentence clearly came into Liu Jin's ears, his face suddenly sank, Huang Jing looked around, found the person who spoke, and immediately sneered unhappily: "Yang Du gives things, this hall is a place to discuss politics, please speak more gently, clear the land, it is beneficial to the court and the people, can anyone refute it?" ”

Yang Shen is outstanding in learning, but after all, he is young, it is the time when the edge is exposed, the kind of politician who is calm and skilled, is not tempered little by little from the enthusiastic youth, but Yang Shen has never encountered setbacks and tribulations, plus the person who recommended him is Yang Ling, and his father is a university scholar, and he rarely encounters flirting and stumbling in officialdom and personnel, this surname is still a little impulsive.

He got up slowly and said, "Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat; Fire can cook food for warmth, and it can also burn houses and hurt people. It depends on how you use it, measuring Tuntian is indeed a good thing, and it is no secret that the Tun army [***] should have been investigated a long time ago. However, the generals of the Tun army do not abide by the law, so they must investigate, if the person in charge of the investigation does not obey the law, then is it a relief or a worse situation? ”

Huang Jing has been doing things for more than ten years, but Yang Shen is a hairy boy who is older than him, which has already made Huang Qishi dissatisfied, and he sneered: "Don't play tricks, what harm can there be in clearing the land?" Is it not enough to be afraid of the scourge of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials? ”

Yang Shen retracted his sleeves, leaned his back behind him, and paced Fang Budao leisurely: "The problem is that we are too eager for quick success and quick profit now, some of the tuntian fields in various places have been exploited more, and some have been exploited less, as long as the land that has been embezzled and exploited is found, the land will be returned to the people."

But what is the standard for the imperial court to evaluate these Qingzhang personnel? It's how much you have cleaned up, more is the merit, and the less is the pass, the household department is in charge of the Datong area, because there are no major problems to impeach, and you can't find so much land that has been embezzled and invite merit, and you are imprisoned for dereliction of duty. Just ask, is there such a ridiculous thing? ”

"Everyone!" Yang Shen arched his hand and said solemnly: "For the sake of their own political achievements, the officials sent here invited merit, collected silver and rewards, arbitrarily impeached officials, and even tortured the wives of the border army, and used various means to hand over some land that originally belonged to the border soldiers to the imperial court as land that was embezzled by the officers.

The local magnates and gentry took the opportunity to spread rumors and incite trouble, and the tun troops in Jinzhou and Yizhou in eastern Liaodong had just made trouble a few days ago because they could not pay their salaries, but now because of the turmoil in the land of Qingzhang, they burned down the official offices and beat the officials, and the localities were in great chaos. Good intentions do bad things, and the scourge is no less than that of cool government."

Liu Jin is on an errand, but it is not that everything is a stupid trick, for example, in the land of Qingzhang, there are indeed a large number of corrupt people who have been caught, but his motives are not pure, not for the sake of social prosperity, but for his significant political achievements, so it is inevitable to rush for quick success and quick profit.

All he wants is a set of significant figures that can be reported to the emperor to demonstrate his ability to govern, so the officials sent to Qingzhang all carry indicators, whether there is any embezzled land, if you can't clear it, you will be derelict in your duties, and you will be imprisoned.

Liu Jin's face was condemned by Yang Shen, and he said in a weird manner: "Lord Yang has just entered the court, and some rules may not be understood. You are in the middle of the matter, not the household department, have you crossed the line? Being an official and doing things, where can you become if you don't comply with the rules? ”

Yang Shen smiled slightly, and gave him a deep salute: "Father-in-law, when it comes to rules, father-in-law is a celebrant and eunuch, and it seems that it is not in accordance with the rules to listen to the government in the cabinet, right?" Is this hand stretched farther than that of the lower official? ”

"You?!" Liu Jin slammed the table, pointed at Yang Shen angrily for a long time, suddenly laughed angrily, flicked his sleeves and said, "Rukou Xiaoer, we are too lazy to worry about you!" ”

Huang Jing sneered: "My father-in-law has a lot, I don't care about you, I have to worry about you." Since you are in charge of the affairs of my household, then I will ask you about the affairs of the ministry. The Ministry of War submitted a list of twelve generals for transfer, as well as the proposal of the 'Thousand People' soldiers left in the provinces by Yang Ling, the former governor of the six provinces, to return to their original places. Of the twelve generals, only three of them were approved by you, right? ”

Yang Shen smiled and said: "Well, it is within the responsibilities of the next generation, most of the twelve generals have not made an inch of merit, and they have no merit and are rewarded, and there is no such example, the official is the arm of the emperor to govern the country, and the relationship is important, and the lower officials have to investigate them one by one."

"No merit? If there is no war for 100 years, there will be no promotion for generals? Accumulation of qualifications can not be promoted? ”

These twelve promoted officers are either people who have long defected to Liu Jin, or they have recently given Liu Jin heavy gifts to buy officials, like Zhou Dean and the other three, although they have given heavy gifts to buy through, they do have a record, Yang Shen can't all suppress them and not report them, and he can drag out the other mediocre officials.

Hearing Huang Jing's words, Yang Shen said: "If the reward is excessive, the officials don't know the gratitude, and now the officials don't have so many vacancies, so why is there any need for promotion?" ”

He arched his hand to Liu Jin and said: "Father-in-law Liu respects the law, is cautious and gracious, regardless of personal fame and fortune, and is dedicated to the court, I am also learning from Father-in-law Liu." The compilation of "Records of Filial Piety" was completed, and the Hanlin who participated in the compilation according to the old practice should be promoted, didn't Gonggong Liu only reward the silver and transfer the sixteen Hanlin to the six departments in Nanjing? ”

More than half of the Hanlin Academy is in the hands of Yang Tinghe, Liu Jin hates those Hanlin people who are fake and high, and refuses to obey himself, and the actual record is compiled, according to the regulations, these Hanlin titles should also be promoted, and the salary should be long, but he smiled and rewarded each of them with some silver, and then Mingsheng and secretly descended, and all of them were sent to Nanjing Liubu for the elderly.

What will those Hanlin do? Yang Shen used this to ridicule Liu Jin, Huang Jing didn't dare to dwell on this matter, so he disdainfully sneered: "Rhetoric, sharp teeth, the first prodigy of the dignified Beijing teacher, is just a man who sells his lips and tongues." At a young age, you will only deliberately mess around, don't think that you can do whatever you want by relying on your father's shadow, the water in the court is deep, you carefully step into the mud puddle and choke on a mouthful of muddy water."

Yang Shen entered the court by recommending the department, and the most taboo thing is that some people say that he is an official who relies on his father's face, and his face turned red when he heard the words, and he immediately ridiculed him with a flick of his sleeves, he is a genius, and the talented man scolds people without even bringing dirty words, alluding to insinuation, burying a sycophant with a red face and a thick neck, and he can't help but scold.

Yang Shen is a filial son, but whenever he scolds people, he either scolds his father or his mother, as soon as he hears foul language, Wendou is immediately upgraded to martial arts, and Yang Shen is a punch. Yang Shen is young and skillful, Huang Jing can't beat him back, the two of them regard the Wenhua Hall as a gladiatorial arena, you chase me and run away for a while, Huang Jing shows his beaten black eyes everywhere to 'show off', and shouts that the son of a scholar beats people in court.

Yang Tinghe really didn't look like a joke, no matter whether it was right or wrong, the father had to show an example, and he couldn't let people say that his family education was not strict, so he went up and grabbed his son is a few slaps, Yang Shen didn't dare to hide, and he was honestly beaten.

Seeing this, Li Dongyang hurriedly took out his old qualifications and stepped forward to persuade him to fight, but Huang Jing took the opportunity to sneak attack, but hit him in the shoulder with a punch and beat the old man to the ground.

Both sides have friends and colleagues, the old one also knows how to come forward to persuade the fight, the younger one immediately rolled up his sleeves to join the battle group to help, this fight was very happy, Liu Jin looked at the foreign ministers fighting, he just smiled secretly in his heart, and did not stop, the old fox Jiao Fang did not mix in, he immediately called the waiting little yellow door to find someone to pull the fight.

Du Fu of the Imperial Horse Supervisor happened to be on duty today, responsible for the security of the palace, and hurriedly came to take a look, all of them were officials, especially in the crowd of people, Yang Daxue Tie Qing's face did not know who he was chasing, a bunch of blockages in front, a bunch of blockades in the back, and Li Daxue was stumbled by a large group of people, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor and Jinyi Wei he brought did not dare to use force to stop the situation, Du Fu was very honest, and he really had no tricks, so he rushed to the emperor to report to the emperor.

When Yang Ling arrived, the war had reached a white-hot state, and the people who had been pushed and shoved were pushed and shoved in the matter of the people who had come forward to persuade the fight, and some people were also hit by cold punches, and they also joined the war group angrily, and more than 80 people from the six departments gave things [***], except for those who asked for leave and went on a business trip, today there are sixty-nine people, all of whom have joined the war group.

Yang Ling looked at it on tiptoe, the scene was too chaotic, the officials were pulling out of shape, the robes were torn, the black veil was off, the nose was blue and the face was swollen. Liu Jin in the innermost part crossed Erlang's legs, holding a cup of tea and gently blowing with a smile, as if nothing had happened in front of him, Jiao Fang stood in the corner, squinting his eyes, pulling his white beard, and looking very anxious on his face, but it was a pity that the eyes were deceitful enough.

Yang Ling didn't bother to greet him, and hurriedly shouted, "Stop!" Stop it! Don't fight! ”

Yang Ling's voice was not small, but the word 'stop' had no deterrent effect, some of the civil officials who had been entangled in a ball pinched their necks and hugged their thighs, no one listened to him at all, Yang Ling didn't dare to say 'the emperor is coming', that is to bully the king, seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, he snorted and yelled: "Keep people under the knife!" ”

This sound is very effective, I am afraid that the emperor will not be effective when he comes to shout 'stop', and more than 60 officials who are fighting stop there and look at the door together.

Yang Ling smiled and arched his hand: "Everyone, my lords, it's been a long time."

The Ministry of Rites gave He Shen the collar that the Ministry of Labor gave to Lao Wang in the matter, and gave him a salute: "I've seen Grandpa Weiguo."

Yang Shen struggled twice and shouted, "Let go of me!" Huang Jingzheng looked at Yang Ling in a daze, was yelled at by him, and hurriedly threw down Yang Shen's thigh that was lifted by him.

Only then did the officials react, and they let go of their opponents one after another, and saluted Yang Ling. As when the meeting had just started this morning, everyone was in a harmonious mood.

Now Yang Ling is the prince of the country, and his status is above the three bachelors, and the three of them also stepped forward to salute each other, and they exchanged cold words, Yang Ling took the opportunity to ask about the situation, and then he knew the reason for the incident. Liu Jin put down the skin of the teacup at this time and greeted him with a smile, saying, "I've seen Wei Guogong."

He should have made a big salute when he saw the Duke of Guo, but his current power is that many Duke of the Kingdom have to salute him upside down when they see him, so Liu Jin bowed very casually.

Yang Ling didn't care, he returned the salute casually, and said with a smile: "Liu Gong, I don't see you for a long time, Liu Gong has a very good complexion, and his face is full of spring breeze, as if he is ten years younger."

Liu Jin laughed dryly, squinted his eyes and said: "Grandpa Weiguo is also good-looking, this Qingfu enjoys, ouch, it seems to be a little fatter, and his face is whiter, not only more handsome, but also has the majesty of Grandpa Guo, so that our family looks at it and likes it for you."

"Hahahaha", the two laughed relatively loudly, but there was no smile in their eyes, and the people next to them looked at the two bigwigs, quietly took a step back, and only heard Liu Jin say: "Grandpa Guo is now nothing, and it is snowing so heavily today, why is he suddenly interested in coming to Wenhua Palace, I don't know what to do?" ”

Yang Ling blinked, and said with a smile: "The Duke of China is also wondering, the 'Meeting' of the Wenhua Hall is a place where the three bachelors and the six subjects are given to discuss politics, and Gonggong Liu is not in the master of ceremonies, how can he enjoy the snow scenery here?" Be careful to let the emperor see and scold you for exceeding the rules! ”

Liu Jin was stunned, and just wanted to speak, he suddenly saw Du Fu walking in hurriedly with Emperor Zhengde, and Emperor Zhengde craned his neck and shouted when he entered the door: "Who is fighting?" Who is fighting? It's all up! You guys all oops, hahaha, Yang Qing is also here."

The international policeman just scolded twice, and immediately walked over with joy when he saw Yang Ling, Yang Ling and the officials bowed to him, Zhengde held him up, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, Yang Qing, you haven't been to the leopard park to accompany me for two days, I wanted to look for you this morning, but unfortunately it snowed heavily, and the Empress Dowager's illness also worsened."

The officials took this opportunity to quickly tidy up their official appearance, and two of them fell off, and quickly retreated to the back of the crowd to find the hat wings and live quietly in Shang'an. Yang Ling hurriedly asked: "The Empress Dowager's phoenix body has been difficult to heal, is there nothing good for the imperial doctors?" ”

Zhengde's face sank and he shook his head slightly. Yang Ling's eyes flashed, and he said: "Neizi Wenxin, superb medical skills, besides, she is a female official in the palace of the emperor, can you let her come to the empress dowager to probe the pulse for diagnosis and treatment?" ”

Zhengde said: "Yes, how did I forget her, it's good, you will bring her when you turn around", Zhengde is not the kind of material that is invisible, sad and happy, and immediately approached Yang Ling's ear and said: "Yixian told me that you are the bride on the wedding night, there is no righteousness, there is no righteousness, such a fun thing is not notified to me to take a look." ”

Emperor Zhengde's sixty or seventy officials were used as decorations, and he forgot the purpose of his coming here, and chatted with Yang Ling, Liu Jin looked at it and felt sour: "Fortunately, our family squeezed him down, otherwise with the emperor's holy favor, and I would still have my share?" ”

Liu Jin took a step forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, the officials all talked about the government in the court during the matter, and they fought if they didn't agree with each other, which is really unreasonable, and it has lost the dignity of the court."

Liu Yunfeng immediately bent down during the incident and said in a deep voice: "Yang Shen is young and shallow, lacks morality, and starts an incident by beating people, which is really unseemly, and the lower officials impeached Yang Shen for dereliction of official etiquette and should be dismissed!" ”

A large group of officials who had taken refuge in Liu Jin immediately responded: "Yes, yes, the officials of the imperial court still don't abide by the law, how can they serve the world?" Yang Shen bullied others, and the emperor should be severely punished! "The crowd is turbulent, the more you talk about it, the more serious it is, and it seems that the Ming Dynasty is about to lose the country.

Zhengde frowned when he heard this, his face was full of displeasure, Liu Jin was overjoyed, and was just about to take the opportunity to squeeze the little bastard to leave, Yang Ling suddenly laughed and said, "It's a big thing, as for it?" ”

To put it mildly, those who gave it immediately shut up. Yang Ling arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's minister, the elder of the Three Dynasties, and the current Shoufu college student, Master Li, not only once snatched the horsewhip in the imperial city and angrily flogged the uncle Zhang Heling, but also took the weapons of the golden gourd warrior in the Golden Palace.

Yang Shen entered Beijing at the age of thirteen, and was very favored by Li University, not only under the door, but also commensurate with a small friend, hehe, this is really the same surname in love, even the style of action is the same, Yang Shen is talented, young and promising, he is still shallow, but when it comes to state affairs, he does not care about personal gains and losses, it is really the blessing of the emperor, if you cultivate well, you will be the minister of my emperor in the future."

Zhengde's brows suddenly stretched when he heard this, isn't it, Li Dongyang is still carrying a golden gourd to beat my uncle on the Golden Palace, what's the big deal about fighting in the Wenhua Palace? But he looked at Liu Jin, Liu Jin hadn't gotten up yet, and he couldn't help but give him face.

Zhengde flicked his sleeves, glared at him and said: "Look at you, all of them are untidy, there is no grooming, there is something that can't be said well, you must do it, if you can distinguish between the superior and the inferior, then what do I want you to do?" Isn't it over to transfer the general of the Han Dynasty to do the six subjects? Eating one by one, isn't it? Go! Du Fu, one person sent a wooden shovel to clear the snow for me, when the three major halls were cleaned up and when they left! ”

"Slaves obey!" Du Fu hurriedly received the order, and all of the more than 60 people were taken out, and one person sent a shovel to clear the snow in the palace. Zhengde said: "The Empress Dowager is seriously ill, and I have to go back to the palace to visit, so you are all gone."

He hurriedly walked to the door, and suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, Yang Qing has entered the palace, what is the important thing to see me?" ”

Yang Ling just straightened up, and hurriedly bent down again and said: "Back to the emperor, it is Her Royal Highness Princess Yongfu, summoning the ministers to see you."

Zhengde's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Oh, I know, you go to see Yongfu, I will go back to the palace first."

Liu Jin heard that Yang Ling was summoned by Princess Yongfu, and immediately guessed that it was for the selection of horses, and he secretly cursed in his heart: "This Yang Shen is so blessed, if Yang Ling didn't happen to enter the palace, our family would be able to take the opportunity to drive this kid out of the ministry today!" Hmph, come and say Fang Chang, Yang Ling is no longer in the court, I will see how long he can protect you."

Liu Jinpi said with a smile: "Wei Guogong, three scholars, our family master of ceremonies still has some things to be busy, this is also goodbye, hehe, goodbye, goodbye!" ”

Seeing Liu Jin's sleeves hanging down and swaggering out of the hall, Yang Tinghe sighed heavily, shook his head and said: "Guogong, since you left the imperial court, the situation in the world has changed now, and Liu Jin is getting more and more."

He said with a hint of hope: "Guogong is still young, and it is really regrettable that he left the court. The emperor's trust in the state is undiminished, if our three bachelors ask at the same time, the emperor will definitely make an exception to allow the state to re-engage in court politics, I don't know the state prince? ”

Yang Ling laughed and said: "The emperor is wise, and there are three scholars in the court, so it doesn't hurt to forgive me." If something big happens to the court, as long as there is a holy decree, he will naturally work hard and dare not slack off, but the prince of the country has entered the court to govern the government, and there has never been one before, and the rules of the ancestors cannot be easily changed, how dare Yang Ling offend."

He smiled and arched his hand, and said, "I still have to go to see Her Royal Highness Princess Yongfu, and I will take my leave."

Jiao Fang and Li Dongyang also arched their hands busily, Yang Ling turned around and left, and Yang Tinghe chased after him: "Is Wei Guogong really in the wind and snow, and has no intention of ruling the government?" ”

Yang Ling paused, looked up for a moment, and muttered: "Everything is better than a cup in hand, how many months in this life?" ”

Jiao Fang saw Yang Ling walking out, touched his beard and arched his hand: "Two adults, the old man is busy with business, retire, retire."

Yang Tinghe frowned and said worriedly: "Alas! Today, Liu Jin even began to intervene in the meeting, and the eunuchs of the Sidian also had their own affairs, and the General Administration Department became an ornament, and all the pieces had to be handled by him, and yesterday there were a few people who impeached Zhang Yong, and it seemed that he was fighting Zhang Yong's idea, and he wanted to capture the Jingying in his hands, Yang Ling was able to compete with him, but he coveted the position of the prince of the country, and he was entrusted by the emperor. How can it be good, how can it be good? ”

The old Jianghu Li Dongyang glanced at him meaningfully, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Jiefu, why worry about the sky? Hehe, even if the sky really falls, there is a high top, what are you worried about? ”

He said slowly: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, the old man hasn't returned to his hometown for a few years, and he is going to take a long vacation to return to his hometown to the emperor, and come back in the spring next year."

Yang Tinghe was anxious when he heard this, and grabbed his sleeve and said: "Can't go, old man, Jiao Fang's attitude towards Liu Jin is warm, and he seems to be pandering, if you leave again, who in the world can still control Liu Jin?" ”

Li Dongyang flicked his sleeves lightly and said in a low voice: "Liu Jin drives fish for the abyss, and drives away the birds from the province, why should the old man leave a good thing that hinders others?" Hehehe"

Yang Tinghe let go of his hand and looked at Li Dongyang's back with understanding.

Li Dongyang walked out of the Wenhua Hall step by step, turned his head to look at the snow removal team that was in full swing under Du Fu's supervision, stroked his beard and smiled slightly, and went away.

The treasurer of the household department, Yin Dongchen, staggered back to the mansion, his face was pale and his soul was lost, and his wife came up, patted the snow on his body for him, and asked with concern: "Master, what happened, your complexion is so bad?" ”

"Something big has happened, something has happened!" Di Dongchen sat on the chair with straight eyes, muttered for a long time, and suddenly said: "Ye'er, hurry, hurry up, quickly pack your luggage, you take him back to his parents' house to visit relatives, and bring all the softness of the house."

"Are you crazy?" Mrs. Li was taken aback: "Master, how can you stand such a toss with the bones of Ye'er's body?" From here to Bazhou, it snowed so much, the car didn't arrive yet, and it was night, what happened? ”

Di Dongchen smiled bitterly and said: "Gonggong Liu of the Inner Court, Liu Jin, suddenly investigate Xi Shiku thoroughly", he grabbed the cup and took a big sip of tea, and continued: "Originally, Xi Shiku reported the number of cashiers every two months, and no one could see the problem, but who knows."

He stomped his foot hatefully: "Liu Jin doesn't know whose idea he listened to, it's been three years to check, and the purchase and shipment are liquidated one by one, and I can't hide it, I really can't hide it this time."

Li's face also changed, and he said in a panic: "Then there is no other way, there were occasional problems in checking accounts in the past, didn't you just send those people some silver?" ”

Di Dongchen gritted his teeth and sneered: "Liu Jin, that bastard, don't I know?" He was not less greedy for things in the inner library, and he moved all the things back to his house, but he ate meat himself, and others couldn't eat soup. These people sent to check the accounts were all strictly ordered by Liu Jin: the confiscated things will be rewarded at a discount of one-tenth, but who dares to hide from him and connive at his private level, and the whole family is imprisoned, who will dare to accept our silver? Who would dare! Say it again".

He stood up, pointed around, and said: "Our big house, our old house in Bazhou, these antiques, calligraphy and paintings, the thousands of hectares of real estate at home, how much silver is that?" How can it be converted into a bottomless pit of silver to feed those people? ”

He laughed miserably: "It's over! It's really over! As soon as they came, they sealed all the account books, replaced the guards of the big treasury, and then checked the accounts one by one, and now the A-word library has been checked, and the eunuch in charge of the treasury is still Liu Jin's acquaintance in the palace, and he was also handcuffed and put in the edict.

Wang Zhangku and Lord Huang were all arrested, Liu Jin was ruthless, and often said that the law is not responsible for the public, but he Liu Jin is bigger than the law, one hundred and sixty-two people, do you know? As long as the case is involved, no matter how much corruption is involved, all of them are involved, and one A-word database has arrested 162 people, and I estimate that half of them will survive."

Lord Gloom wept and said in despair: "I am the treasurer in charge of the stolen punishment treasury, and I will be the last to check on me, hehe, our family can still have a reunion year, and then we will wait to rob the house and kill the head."

Li covered his mouth and trembled: "My God, I have arrested so many people, he and he have arrested all the top and bottom of the Jiazi library."

"I didn't catch it all!" Lord Di hung his head and said dejectedly: "Lord Qiu, the deputy manager of the Jiazi library, is fine, he is not less greedy than me."

"Huh?" Li grabbed his hand and said hurriedly, "How much silver did he give?" If there is any way, we will also entrust him."

"It's useless!" Lord Di pushed his wife away, and said stupidly: "Lord Qiu is Qiu Yuma's younger brother, they entrusted Princess Anguo and sent a huge sum of money to Ma Yongcheng, the chief manager of the Internal Affairs Office, and then Ma Yongcheng went to beg Liu Jin, so he let him go. How dare he help others? We".

As soon as he said this, his brother-in-law, Li Hu, who was also on an errand in Xishiku, slammed the door and broke in, and said in a distraught voice: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, the big thing is not good, Wang Zhangku confessed that his brother was also involved in his case, and so was Lord Huang's maternal uncle's house, and now the people from Dongchang have been ordered by Liu Jin to go out of the city to copy their hometown, what should we do?" What to do? ”

As soon as the Li family heard that her soul was scattered, she knew that she would not want this ill-gotten gain, her three sisters and five brothers in her mother's family all made a fortune by relying on her husband's official, and she had to be taken away by Liu Jin at this time? That eunuch is ruthless, he doesn't spit out bones after eating people, even if he spits out all the silver, I'm afraid it would be good to keep a whole corpse."

Li's body was weak, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, hugged Lord Di's thighs and howled: "What can I do about this, my lord, our family is all going to be beheaded, this Liu Jin, who killed a thousand knives, why didn't he fall and die with his head!" Oh my God, ahhhhh

Li Hu swallowed and said, "Brother-in-law, why don't we run!" ”

"Run? Where to run? We are a big family, I studied since I was a child, and then became an official, and I don't even know the road when I go out of Beijing, besides, you are an idiot when you are a factory guard? You're checking on Sishku, can you not look at us? ”

Li was still crying and wiping her tears, but Lord Di covered her mouth and shouted: "Silence, let the people in the house hear, if there is a secret agent of the factory guard, you and I will have to divide the corpse!" ”

Li wiped his snot and tears, and said with his hair exuded: "Phew! Also the secret agent of the factory guard! How old an official are you, people are willing to give you face and send spies to your house? ”

She hugged her brother's leg again, and said in tears: "Why don't I have a brother who climbs to the royal family, this time the family is all over."

"Emperor Pan, Emperor Pan, have you given birth to a good daughter? If we have a daughter to be the queen, or a son to be a horse", Lord Dian suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, his eyes were gloomy, his eyes were dark and shining, Li Shi shrank in fright, and said: "Master, what's wrong with you?" Don't be scared crazy."

"I'm not crazy". Lord Di said firmly: "Our son, our son is just sixteen, and he has won the lift, is handsome, and famous, isn't Princess Yongfu choosing a horse?" That's the emperor's royal sister today, if you climb this family, even Liu Jin has to worry about it, without paying a penny of silver, our family can be as stable as Mount Tai, and the wind won't blow down! ”

"Our son?" Li Shi was full of tears, and said stupidly: "Is Ye'er's illness cured?" Didn't Lang Zhong say that even if he took good care of it, he wouldn't be able to pass the spring next year? Even if you are chosen, if the princess has just passed the door, the emperor will not be able to copy our nine clans at night? ”

Lord Di is familiar with the rules of officialdom and the royal family, and he laughed gloomily: "It's not that time, even if it's the emperor, sometimes this dumb person should eat him, even if he is worshipping his cousin and dies, he has to recognize our relatives, and the princess will always be the daughter-in-law of our family, we are the royal relatives, even if she Yongfu Princess can't wait to eat the flesh of you and me, she has to call her father-in-law and mother-in-law on the surface, and she can't watch our family be beheaded, hahahaha."

Li Hu was stunned and said, "Brother-in-law, can my nephew definitely be chosen?" If you don't get the right choice, it's still useless."

"Why not?" Lord Di sneered: "The horse is a boy between fourteen and sixteen years old, and there are few talented people in this age, so you should be a prodigy like Yang Tinghe?" Ye'er is a person, this is unique, he is long and quiet and delicate, and his appearance is also worthy, not to mention."

Lord Di's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "Although my official is not big, but I am an official in charge of the inner treasury of the household department, and I often deal with the eunuchs of various departments in the palace, as long as I hand them enough silver, and the conditions of my son are outstanding, where can this Yongfu princess marry if she doesn't marry into our family?" ”

Li Shi thought about it, and Huo Di stood up suddenly: "Okay!" I'll see it! My son suddenly got a serious illness, and I can't live anymore, and I am dying to marry a princess as a daughter-in-law, and I am worthy of him as a mother, not to mention that I can save the life of a family, lord, hurry up and let Ye'er choose a horse."

Li Hu patted his head and said: "I remember, today seems to be the last day, and those who don't have merit are not allowed to sign up again, and there will be no chance after today."

Di Dongchen hurriedly said: "Xishiku has to be found until the beginning of the spring, and the selection of horses can be determined by the end of the year at the latest, as long as Na Cai asks for the name and Nagina is passed, even if this position is decided, even the emperor will not be able to take back his fate!" There is still a chance, our family's surname and glory and wealth, all counting on the night, hurry! Madame, go and wake him up, Huzi, go and prepare the carriage and horses, and take him to sign up immediately! ”
