In September, the weather began to get colder, and the news from Lianzhou seemed to be becoming more and more sensational, saying that it was absorbing a lot of people recently, and the monthly money was also rising, but in addition to some businessmen in Beijing, they would go there to take a look and look for some business opportunities, but they were all ordinary peddlers and pawns, and there were not many people who went to Nanyang.

However, it is said that Shandong, Henan and other places have a lot of people moving south, although it is contrary to tradition, after all, it is a person who leaves his hometown, but after all, people have a price, and everyone has the desire to seek a better life.

In the past, there would have been people in the court who would inevitably jump out and criticize, but now the court seems to be surprisingly silent.

Liu Chengfeng is hateful, and he is not the same traveler as the noble scholar, but when they saw the Eight Tigers, they suddenly knew how cute Liu Chengfeng was, at least Liu Chengfeng this guy, if you don't provoke him, he will not pick quarrels and provoke trouble, although there are always some strange things happening to him, but it will not tear off the minister's pants and beat people's butts.

But behind this silence, an undercurrent is quietly surging.

On the Mongolian side, when the letter of state was handed to Jingshilai, it was lost in the sea, so another letter with stronger wording was handed over, and the letter was extremely tough, and at this time, the matter finally exploded.

That is, the letter of the Mongolian Khan was handed into the palace, and at the same time, the snowflakes of the book entered the palace at the same time, and all the books had only one purpose, the guerrilla general Liu Xian rashly mobilized the army and horses without the instructions of the imperial court, which not only endangered the national policy of the Ming Dynasty towards Mongolia, but also acted like a rebellion.

Of course, this rebellion is not just about Liu Xian, but also directly pointing the finger at Liu Jin, Liu Xian is Liu Jin's placement, and he is looking forward to Liu Jin, if there is no Liu Jin's instruction, how can a small guerrilla general dare to do such a horrific thing, so rumors spread in the market, all saying that Liu Jin is opposed, please punish Liu Jin.

This time the incident was very sensational, not only did Mongolia have sent envoys with an aggressive posture, but the courtiers and newspapers also followed up almost at the same time, everything seemed to be directed, Zhengde Chao'an had been alive for so long, and suddenly it was boiling like boiling hot oil.

The three bachelors of the cabinet have also begun to enter the palace, but they obviously did not go to find the emperor, but went directly to see the Empress Dowager Zhang, in their opinion, the emperor has a lot of protection for Liu Jin, and now the emperor will definitely panic, if he gets the support of the Empress Dowager Zhang at this time, Liu Jin will definitely die.

In fact, it's not just Liu Jian, as early as a few days ago, Xiao Jing had quietly gone to the Queen Mother's side to blow the wind, and the Empress Dowager Zhang had never liked Liu Jin, and she had a great grasp of this matter.

And on the side of the Zhengxin Palace, Zhu Houzhao's performance is surprisingly silent, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and he has been enthusiastic, but when he found that the emperor does not seem to be a thankless errand, when he found that he could not make decisions in many things, this boiling blood has disappeared without a trace, Zhu Houzhao does not like the Zhengxin Palace, and feels that it is too rigid here, and the palace is too simple, so he wants to open up a piece of land in the palace to build his own palace, but this matter has not been supported by the cabinet, and he can only give up. Zhu Houzhao is a person who does not stop until he reaches his goal, so the surname Suo moved to live elsewhere, and he may not come here once a month.

Zhu Houzhao's thoughts, no one guessed it, he is different from the first emperor, the first emperor is a sacred heart is unpredictable, so it is difficult for the ministers to understand the thoughts of the first emperor, but Zhu Houzhao is surnamed Ge is strange, which always makes people scratch their heads.

Early in the morning, Zhu Houzhao still met two ministers, and these two ministers went straight here when the cabinet scholars went to see the Empress Dowager Zhang, and Zhu Houzhao seemed to be quite interested in these two people, and specially met them in the Zhengxin Palace.

The meeting of the two is a trivial matter, one of these two is called Zhang Cai, this person is also a Hanlin in the Chenghua period, and now he is tired of being a servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhu Houzhao is quite fond of him.

And Zhu Houzhao's favored people, naturally also have their strengths, this color is magnificent, fair complexion, eyebrows are very comfortable to see, more importantly, Zhu Houzhao once started the idea of building a new palace, but it has attracted the opposition of many people, only this Zhang Cai stood up for him to argue, saying that now the treasury is abundant, the inner treasury is also solid, the emperor repaired the new palace, and took the inner treasury, and there is no hindrance, Zhu Houzhao heard it, he was very happy, and even said that this person is a loyal minister.

The other is Jiao Fang, Jiao Fang is old, and now he is almost seventy years old, older than Liu Jian, his hair is white, he is old, and his appearance is naturally not as good as Zhang Cai, but this old minister is now tired of being an official and a servant of the ministry, but he is also a ruthless person. In the DPRK, it belongs to the kind of thorn that no one can provoke and no one dares to provoke.

When Jiao Fang first entered the eunuch journey, he could be described as a young man, with steady progress and prosperous official fortunes. When he was still working as an editor, someone once chatted with Wan An, a university scholar at the time, and Wan An accidentally said that "if you don't learn like Fang, you will also be a bachelor." It means that a person like Jiao Fang, who doesn't learn and has no skills, also wants to be a bachelor? Later, this word reached Jiao Fang. Jiao Fang was furious and said: This must be Peng Hua plotting against me behind my back, if I can't be a bachelor, I will assassinate Peng Hua on Chang'an Road. Peng Hua was very frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly passed the letter to the university scholar Wan'an. Wan An finally had to enter Jiao Fang as a bachelor.

Just such a guy who dared to threaten to assassinate the minister, but his later career has not been smooth, because of the suspicion, the dignified Hanlin lecturer was actually demoted to Guiyang to serve as an official, and then finally recalled the Beijing Division, and said that the son was not very comfortable, he was first in the Ministry of Rites, but not allowed for the Ministry of Rites, and then came to the Ministry of Officials, always wanted to show himself in front of the first emperor, but the Ministry of Officials Ma Wensheng thought he was cunning, so he had been pressing him, Jiao Fang resented in his heart, he was from Henan, and the Manchu Dynasty was mostly from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Ma Wensheng is also from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Jiao Fang thinks that Ma Wensheng is making things difficult for him because of his origin, so Jiao Fang can be said to hate Ma Wensheng.

In fact, what Jiao Fang is really worried about is his age, he is from a Shujishi, whether it is qualifications or background, there is hope for the cabinet, but because he has made too many enemies in the court, so that when he reaches this age, he is only fighting in the autumn wind in the ministry, he knows in his heart that if he has another chance to enter the cabinet, he is afraid that he can only hang a waiter in this life, time waits for no one, and he has lived for half a life, he really has no patience to continue to wait.

Therefore, when the new emperor proposed to build a new palace, the Manchu Dynasty was all opposed, but Jiao Fang did not hesitate to stand up and strongly support this matter together with this Zhang Cai, Zhu Houzhao heard about Jiao Fang's words and deeds, and was very grateful to him.

Now that they entered the palace, the two of them came to Chen to talk about the establishment of a new palace.

Zhu Houzhao is a little taller than before, and his beard is getting thicker and thicker, but his spirit is not very good, presumably he didn't sleep all night last night, so the whole person looks a little tired, after talking to Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai about some of their thoughts on the new palace, these two ministers also expressed their meaning, thinking that the emperor is rich all over the world, and this palace should indeed be repaired, especially Jiao Fang, and said directly: "Your Majesty, the old minister looks at this righteous heart hall, it is not as magnificent as the mansion of Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, and Liu Jian, a cabinet scholar, His mansion is so continuous that it occupies half of the market, and the decoration of the mansion is luxurious, and it is very magnificent, and a courtier can enjoy it more than a king, and this is not enough......"

When Jiao Fang said this, Zhang Cai stood aside with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but glance at Jiao Fang from the corner of his eye, and then followed: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, what Lord Jiao means is that the courtiers can enjoy it, shouldn't the Son of Heaven enjoy it?" Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and this living place must of course have the grandeur of the Son of Heaven. ”

Zhu Houzhao listened, his face was suddenly clouded, and his brows furrowed: "These people are really hateful." ”

Jiao Fang said lightly: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry......

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said, "It's just a pity that they don't allow me to repair the palace, and they often complain to the Queen Mother. Why does the Queen Mother always believe in them? ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say: "I have read all the books handed over last night, they said that Liu Jin rebelled, and I want to hear what you mean." ”

In fact, before entering the palace, the two of them already knew that the emperor would definitely ask about it, Jiao Fang glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and saw that he was full of worries and looked panicked, and couldn't help but think in his heart, the emperor is really still a child, and such a little thing is already six gods and no master.

Jiao Fang has been quite favored recently, and he has dealt with Zhu Houzhao a lot, and he has already figured out Zhu Houzhao's surname, he smiled slightly, and said: "Why did Your Majesty come to Lao Chen, Your Majesty is smart, whether this Liu Jin is rebelling, will Your Majesty not know?" ”

His words can be said to be extremely subtle, not only secretly giving Zhu Houzhao a sycophant, but more importantly, expressing his own meaning.

He has always been squeezed out by the cabinet and Ma Wensheng and others, and if you want to confront the cabinet and Ma Wensheng, he alone is not enough, the Eight Tigers led by Liu Jin and the cabinet are on the same footing, if Liu Jin is finished, the cabinet will definitely increase its power with the support of the Queen Mother and the edict of the first emperor, so the fall of the Eight Tigers is not what Jiao Fang wants to see, now he only asks Zhu Houzhao if he is willing to believe that Liu Jin is rebelling, in fact, he has already stated his position, Liu Jin has served Zhu Houzhao for so many years, and Zhu Houzhao is accompanied day and night, Zhu Houzhao trusts him very much, How could Zhu Houzhao believe that he had bad intentions? So the meaning of these words is that if the emperor thinks that Liu Jin is a loyal minister, then he is a loyal minister, and he doesn't have to listen to others' gossip.
