Chapter 940: The Final Blow
readx;
Liu Jin spent a day in uneasiness, and his behavior of learning and reporting made him very incomprehensible, or he didn't know what Liu Chengfeng's next move would be. Since the king www.biquge.info of Chu entered Beijing, Liu Jin has been passive and beaten everywhere, and he really doesn't know when he will be the head.
However, the mystery was soon revealed in the second day.
The second is still a study and newspaper, and the study and newspaper is still publishing articles, which is also the position of the front page, and the article written is also related to Jiao Fang, but yesterday it was Jiao Fang's letter, but today it is an article written by the king of Chu.
The article is very simple, only a few hundred words, but the meaning of the article is very interesting, the gist of the article is to the effect that the so-called letter of allegiance leaked yesterday is indeed true, the scholar Jiao Fang did write this letter, since the letterhead was published in the world, the scholar Jiao was restless, but here, Liu Chengfeng needs to clarify one thing, so Jiao Fang wrote this letter, not out of sincerity, but at the behest of Jinyiwei.
So...... So this Jiao Fang is not a henchman of the eunuch party, but a henchman of Jinyiwei, this notorious eunuch party, turned into an anti-eunuch vanguard and a lawyer.
All of a sudden, everyone was dumbfounded, it's not that they don't understand, but that things in this world are changing too fast, what kind of world is this, even scum like Jiao Fang has become the vanguard of the anti-eunuch party, is there any reason for this?
Heavenly principles do not exist, at least the heavenly principles in everyone's imagination do not exist, as soon as today's newspaper came out, Jiao Mansion returned to calm, and Jiao Fang also went to the duty room on time early in the morning to work, he arrived at the duty room, as always with a smile, but this smile made Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe feel very dazzling.
But what can be done? Looking at it like this, Jiao Fang has turned against the King of Chu, from a lackey of the eunuch party to a subordinate of the King of Chu, and looking at his relaxed appearance, he seems to be quite comfortable.
Yang Tinghe was a little unhappy in his heart, he and Li Dongyang were indeed sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, from beginning to end, they were killing people with knives, and using the King of Chu to try to defeat Liu Jin, and Jiao Fang was the core of Liu's party, but he was able to get away with it.
What does King Chu mean by this?
Yang Tinghe faintly guessed that the King of Chu was cleaning up Liu Jin at the same time, and he came to take the opportunity to knock on the cabinet, this was not to tell him and Li Dongyang that he was not a thug of the cabinet, and their wishful thinking should not be fought for too long.
More importantly, Yang Tinghe felt that the King of Chu was using Jiao Fang to influence the cabinet, and it would not be beneficial to the King of Chu to kill Jiao Fang, and the cabinet would sooner or later fall into the hands of Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang, is the King of Chu really in the same interests as his Yang Tinghe? If it is said that in dealing with Liu Jin, everyone's interests may be the same, Liu Jin not only infringed on the interests of the King of Chu, but also touched the core interests of the cabinet, so at this time, the King of Chu wants to rectify Liu Jin, Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang will applaud. But what about later? Who can guarantee that everyone will not turn from friends to enemies in the future.
But Jiao Fang is different, Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang are strong-willed people, they defend their own positions and interests, the king of Chu is powerful and powerful, it is not easy to completely influence them, Jiao Fang is different, Jiao Fang is not a person with a temperance, he is the kind of person who is a snake and mouse at both ends, in order to ensure that he can tie Liu Jin in the cabinet, he can also take Liu Chengfeng as the head of the horse for the sake of his family name, from then on, Liu Chengfeng will never say two, this person ...... In the future, it will be the chess piece of the King of Chu in the cabinet, specially used to balance Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang.
After figuring out this, and then looking at the appearance of Jiao Fang's villain, Yang Tinghe suddenly felt unappetizing.
He suddenly realized that Liu Chengfeng was indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he didn't seem to be a fisherman, so he could get any benefits when the river mussels were fighting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a letter handed over by the Guilin Mansion, the prefect of Guilin Mansion said that a large number of displaced people poured into the Chu State, so that in Guangxi, the people do not think about farming, the people's hearts are impetuous, the grain production has been reduced by three percent in the previous year, and I beg the imperial court to inquire into this matter and issue a decree to reduce the loss of the people."
Jiao Fang suddenly held up a recital at this time, and explained it very unhappily first, and said: "This Guilin prefect is really bold, but he is a small five-grade official, and he actually discusses the government in vain, what does he mean by this?" Could it be that he wants to target His Royal Highness the King of Chu? Hmph, it seems that the grain production in Guangxi has decreased, and don't forget that the population has also decreased, but the land has increased, and one person used to cultivate five acres of land, but now he can cultivate ten acres, is this a bad thing? Some people just want to sensationalize, according to the old man, the court will punish him severely, what do Yang Gong and Li Gong think? β
An inconspicuous recital actually provoked the anger of Scholar Jiao, of course, it is not without reason, the most important letter is the impeachment of the king of Chu, although there is no blatant impeachment, but it can be regarded as an insinuation. Jiao University is a lackey under King Chu, how can he not be angry? This is actually a gesture, and at the same time, it is also to kick the ball to the feet of Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe, giving them a problem.
Scholar Jiao is shameless anyway, and it seems that there is no loss for the Guilin prefect who severely punished the rumors for the King of Chu.
But Yang Tinghe is different from Li Dongyang, they still want face, since they want face, they must not agree to Jiao Fang's initiative, but if they don't agree with Jiao Fang, not only do they go against Jiao Fang, but they are afraid that they are still against the King of Chu.
Yang Tinghe was angry, he didn't hate Jiao Fang's hateful face, what he hated the most was that Jiao Fang actually wanted to use a recital to make trouble for himself, he smiled coldly and said: "The court officials heard about it, and the old man didn't think there was anything wrong. β
Jiao Fang smiled and said, "Really? In this way, Lord Yang thinks that the Guilin prefect's recital is right, it is the King of Chu who absorbed the people of my Ming Dynasty, so as to eliminate the other's growth, right? β
When it comes to pit people, Jiao Fang is an expert, at this time, if Yang Tinghe dares to nod, most likely he will immediately go to Liu Chengfeng to make a small report, saying that Yang Tinghe secretly slandered His Highness Yunyun.
Yang Tinghe was about to go-for-tat, and Li Dongyang on the side was afraid that the situation would get out of control, so he hurriedly said: "Gong Jiao, that's not what I said, what Yang Gong opposed was that you punished the minister who wrote the book, and there has never been a matter of punishing crimes with words in the country. β
Jiao Fangwan smiled and said, "Really? β
He only asked a rhetorical question, then ignored it, lowered his head and continued to draw up votes.
Yang Tinghe was half angry, but Li Dongyang gave him a look and signaled him not to be impulsive.
Jiao Fang got off duty, did not go back to the house, but went directly to the mansion of the King of Chu, Liu Chengfeng saw him in the study, Jiao Fang was not ambiguous, and directly reported the change of what happened in the duty room today, and then smiled flatteringly, and said: "Lord, Yang Ting and these people watched the fire from the other side, obviously they wanted to use His Highness's knife to kill people, and now the lower officials deliberately embarrassed them, in fact, they just beat them for His Highness, these two people are not of the same mind, Your Highness should be careful." β
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said: "This king is not interested in being careful, you should be careful, all in all, if you have news, you will report back, and sometimes you don't have to fight with them, there is no need for this." β
Jiao Fang nodded solemnly and said, "Xiaguan understands." β
Liu Chengfeng said again: "At the moment, we don't have to do anything, just wait for the news, by the way, you said that you still have some protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, these people have to be encircled, you are a cabinet minister, you can't just rely on the support of outsiders, you have to have your own people in the court, so that you can do things handy, and the king can send you." β
Jiao Fang's chick pecked the rice and nodded, and hurriedly responded.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Master of Ceremonies.
Liu Jian was holding the newspaper in his hand, almost slumped in the chair, his lips trembled, his body was like a sifting chaff, and his face was full of despair.
The content in the newspaper may not be understood by most people, and it is the loyalty letter and the king of Chu who came forward to clarify, how can a layman understand this scene, but anyone who has a heart or an insider knows how powerful it is.
Think about it, who is Jiao Fang? If Jiao Fang said that if it wasn't for Liu Dang, there would be no one in the world who was Liu Dang, and even such a person could turn from Liu Dang to a pioneer in law change as long as he took refuge in Liu Chengfeng, isn't this just an example?
Everyone in the world knows that Liu Jin is going to be finished, and following him all the way to the dark will only harm his family, it can be said that no one in the world will ever want to have anything to do with Liu Jin, but people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, some people are too deeply involved, and the brand of Liu Dang on their bodies is too heavy, not to mention that Liu Jin still holds their handle in his hand, so that they can only bite the bullet and wait for the end of the day in a hurry.
It's just that now, those who are uneasy are beginning to see a ray of light, and even a hardcore Liu Dang like Jiao Fang can be fine, so what about themselves? Although he served Liu Jin, after all, he hadn't made any suggestions for Liu Jin, nor had he prepared for Liu Jin to change the law, he just earned some benefits from it, Jiao Fang can, why can't everyone?
As long as someone moves this mind, when those panicked henchmen suddenly realize that they are not dead, when they know that there is still a way to live, what will be the result?
No matter how stupid Liu Jin is, when he saw this newspaper, he immediately understood everything, Liu Chengfeng was buying bones for his money, making the final preparations for his collapse, and his so-called talisman had become a joke.
