Cabinet. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The three second assistants sat in the duty room as usual, compared to before, this place was obviously a little more deserted, the former harmony was gone, even between Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, there were very few whispers, to put it bluntly, in fact, they were afraid that the wall had ears.

A few months ago, it was the cabinet that controlled everything, whether it was Dongchang or Jinyiwei, they did not dare to avoid its edge, and now, the ministers have become blind and deaf, and the transfer of Jinyiwei has completely lost control.

Li Dongyang has become more and more worried about the current situation, since Liu Jian recuperated, the contradictions in the imperial court have gradually become acute, a few days ago, a large number of speech officials took advantage of the Ministry of Rites to impeach, which means that the imperial court has gradually deviated from control.

In the DPRK and China, a considerable number of officials have stood on the opposite side of Li Dongyang, in fact, the reason is very simple, not because of political opinions, the most important thing is that when Liu Jian was in power, there were only so many officials, and there must be some people who are hot and most people who sit on the cold bench. In the past, Liu Jian was a man of his word in the cabinet, and no one dared to say anything, and these frustrated people had no other way than to work hard and strive to win the blue eyes of the cabinet. But now, Liu Jian has fallen, Liu Ji has entered the cabinet, and the contradictions in the cabinet have intensified, which has also made many frustrated people take advantage of the opportunity, they have seen through Liu Ji's thoughts, and if Liu Ji's thigh is next to him at this time, there will be hope for this career.

At this time, Li Dongyang was obviously under great pressure, although the emperor has been neglecting these impeachments, but the impeachment ceremony department has not been punished, which makes many people emboldened, so more and more people are impeached, and Li Dongyang's prestige gradually collapses. For cabinet ministers, the loss of prestige will be difficult to compensate. However, Li Dongyang is helpless against this kind of impeachment, if these impeached officials are moved, it will inevitably make people think that he Li Dongyang has no stomach, and it may even trigger a greater backlash, but if it is left unchecked, these people will be even more aggressive.

As for Liu Ji, he put on an attitude of watching the show, and he won this game very thoroughly, and it almost effortlessly made Li Dongyang anxious.

In fact, if Li Dongyang is the same as Liu Ji, he can be indifferent, just like Liu Ji, the nickname of Liu Mian, he is not afraid of impeachment, but although Li Dongyang can endure it, after all, he can't be thicker than the city wall, so Li Dongyang's words will be sad.

Everything is business as usual today, the three of them sat behind the case, and none of them made a sound, but after Liu Ji disposed of the sloppy work at hand, he deliberately coughed and said lightly: "Have you heard of Gong Li and Gong Xie?" Recently, those brocade guards are becoming more and more unlawless. ”

Li Dongyang still looked indifferent, he could be said to have a deep sense of disgust for this Liu Mian, and the surname Suo took Liu Ji's words as wind in his ears.

Xie Qian was even more crisp, snorting coldly, with a posture of not being with him.

Liu Ji didn't care, and said lightly: "They actually dare to check the ministers of the court without authorization, this kind of thing is only in the Chenghua years, the current emperor Shengming, who cares for the officials, has repeatedly mentioned that the punishment is not a doctor, but those captains are good, and they actually installed people to Liu Jian and Liu Gong's mansion to keep an eye on them, what do they mean?" Who is Liu Gong? That is also an old minister who has gone through three dynasties, although he is now recuperating at home, but he is still the first assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty. Even Duke Liu has to keep an eye on him, isn't it because he treats the important ministers of our court as a chaotic party? This atmosphere is getting worse and worse, if it goes on like this, they dare to keep an eye on Liu Gong, they dare to target everyone in our room, the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, let's just watch Liu Gong get angry? ”

Liu Ji's words are high-sounding, but his purpose is also simple, there have been a lot of brocade guards in his house, originally, brocade guards are divided into two kinds: sitting and spying, sitting and probing is the rule of the imperial court, and there is inevitably one in the house of each minister of each yamen, but after Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he revoked the sitting of some important ministers, but now, there is no one to sit and investigate, but there is a secret agent.

Spy this thing is many times more disgusting than sitting on the house, these people are mixed in the house to keep an eye on them, and even bribe your family servants to find out the news for them, it is said that even which lady you have sex with, they also know it clearly. Liu Ji's mansion found out one, but the identity of the people is pro-army, Liu Ji has no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it, but he admits it, but he doesn't want to fight for reason, in fact, he also knows in his heart that this is a case that the court wants to find out about teaching, and he, a scholar of Liu, has also become a target of targeting, so if you want to get rid of these disgusting things, you can't get ahead, but you can encourage others to come forward, for example, Liu Jian must also be one of the suspects, let Liu Jian come forward, it's better.

In fact, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian also heard a little about what Liu Ji said, saying that they were investigating the case of disrupting the party, but they never thought that Jin Yiwei actually set his eyes on Liu Jian, Li Dongyang's face couldn't help showing a trace of displeasure, and said: "Is this serious?" ”

Liu Ji said lightly: "It's true. Let's tell the truth, the old man also heard some rumors, the person who presided over the investigation of this case was Liu Chengfeng, who is Liu Chengfeng, you must also know that it is a ruthless master, who can guarantee that he will not make waves? Now that a commander has actually ridden to the head of the cabinet, the old man must write a book at that time, and fight for justice for Liu Gong no matter what. ”

Liu Ji said righteously.

Xie Qian couldn't help but be angry at this time, and said: "Liu Chengfeng is not presentable, the palace asked him to check, he just checked, but who is Liu Gong, how can it be a chaotic party?" He was making too much of a fuss. ”

Unlike Xie Qian, Li Dongyang's face was very flat, but his heart was shocked.

This Liu Ji is really a simple means, no wonder even the emperor praised his ability, this person is so scheming, I am afraid that he is still above himself.

When talking about the matter of the monk Dingxian, everyone knows that before his death, the monk Dingxian said that the surname of the same party was Liu, since it is surnamed Liu, then all people with the surname Liu will be within the scope of suspicion, Liu Jian is, and Liu Ji is too. Presumably, there is already a brocade guard in Liu Ji's house now, and the reason why Liu Ji spread the news is nothing more than one reason.

Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, intended for Pei Gong, and Mingli was attacking Jinyiwei, but the real target was him Li Dongyang.

Who is Liu Jian? That is the head of the cabinet headed by Li Dongyang, after Liu Jian Zhishi, he still has a great influence in the imperial court, not to mention anything else, in the cabinet alone, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian are their henchmen.

Now that Liu Ji has spread this matter, the purpose is actually very simple, Liu Jian is recuperating, and now he has been bullied by Jinyiwei, aren't you his comrades? Then it's about seeing what you do.

If he is indifferent, Liu Ji will simply take this book himself, under the banner of running for Liu Jian, then Li Dongyang, Liu Jian's closest and most powerful assistant, is only afraid that he will be spurned, and an irrelevant person is willing to stand up and ask for Liu Jian's life, as a colleague of others for many years, but you are the closest partner but you don't dare to say a word, I am afraid that other people in Liu Jian's henchmen will have to turn against him Li Dongyang, and the entire Liu Jian party will split in just a few days, give him Liu Ji a chance to take advantage of.

But if he really asked Li Dongyang to fight for Liu Jian, Li Dongyang understood that this time, Liu Chengfeng's investigation of the case was very important, and without the emperor's secret decree, he would never be so unscrupulous, and he actually dared to put people in Liu Jian's mansion, and to work against Jinyiwei was to work against the emperor, and interfere with the palace's plan to track down the rebellious party, which is going to hit the head.

No matter what choice Li Dongyang makes, it is a dilemma, Liu Jizheng thought of this, and opened his words at this time, in fact, he forced him Li Dongyang to choose.

Li Dongyang groaned and didn't speak, Xie Qian on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Binzhi, Jinyiwei is too ridiculous, it's okay to investigate the case, but when it comes to Liu Gong's head, it can't help but deceive people too much, I will write a book, no matter what, I have to let the court issue a decree and revoke the lieutenant in Liu Gong's mansion, what is this, Liu Gong is a lot old, he has worked hard for the court, and now he is getting old, but he is suspicious, hum!" ”

Li Dongyang knew that it was no longer possible for him not to make a decision at this time, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Liu Ji, who was a little proud, and then said lightly: "Yu Qiao is right, it can only be like this now, you and I will go to the book, no matter what, we must ask the emperor to open the Internet, everyone in this world may be a chaotic party, but Liu Gong will never be, the old man is willing to use his head as a guarantee." ”

Liu Ji smiled slightly, listened to Li Dongyang's words, and exclaimed: "Li Gong is righteous, but today it has opened the old man's eyes." Although he was admired, he was a little disappointed in his heart, in fact, Liu Ji hoped that Li Dongyang would make another decision, Li Dongyang's decision, although it was for him Liu Ji to clean up the brocade clothes and be a pawn, but it was a pity that he could not disintegrate Liu Jian's party.

Li Dongyang's face was gloomy, and he said lightly: "Yu Qiao, you draft a note first, and I'll read the notes on hand first." He took a sip of tea and continued: "Later, you and I will enter the palace together to meet you, and you must save Liu Gong's face no matter what." ”
