Why has Liu Jin changed?

It is estimated that even Liu Jin himself can't answer this question, from a fifty-year-old and still powerless servant of the East Palace, two years gradually climbed to the palm print of the master of ceremonies who dominates the entire Ming Empire, the lowest level has reached the peak of the world in one fell swoop, the power is there, the silver is there, the people who once looked down on him, and the people who can trample him under his feet at any time are all dead, and those who should be surrendered have surrendered, wandering in the ocean of power, who can not change?

Today's Liu Jin is still the Liu Jin who was careful everywhere in the East Palace, with low eyebrows everywhere, and King Ning could be happy for half a month if he gave him a few hundred taels of silver?

Zhu Houzhao doesn't understand the world, and what he thought would not change has actually changed.

If it changes, there is no going back.

At this time, Liu Jin was no longer as arrogant as the palm print of the master of ceremonies, his face was covered with blood, his cheeks were high and swollen, even his eyes were squeezed into a thin slit by bruising, his gray hair was messily draped, tears slid down his face to his chin, mixed with blood all over his face, his expression was very terrifying, sad and pitiful.

Zhu Houzhao cried and beat him lightly or heavily: "If you can go back to two years ago, I will never give you such monstrous power again, I would rather you be the inner servant who protects me everywhere and serves me, rather than the ruthless palm print eunuch, Liu Jin, you have disappointed me, disappointed!" ”

Liu Jin cried and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave has been involuntary for the past two years, the old slave is a eunuch, and he has been looked down upon everywhere, even if he is powerful, he is just a rootless duckweed, and when he is beaten by the waves, he will sink to the bottom forever." Your Majesty, the old slave is afraid, so the old slave must fight for himself, fight for His Majesty, the old slave does not dare to speak of his ambitions, he just wants to do something to make His Majesty and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military impressed, so that everyone tries to ignore the identity of the old slave eunuch, but the golden palace of the court is stormy, the civil and official forces are complicated, and it is very difficult to do something. The decree was issued only by the celebrant of ceremonies. If the old slave does not raise the butcher's knife, how can he implement the new policy? Even if His Majesty does not like those exhortations and sparse performances, if the old slave does not take a few ministers to kill chickens and monkeys. How can Your Majesty have such a quiet and leisurely fun day today? ”

“…… Your Majesty. The old slave is fifty years old. Knowing the year of the destiny of heaven, the infinite scenery or the collapse of old age is the destiny of heaven, the age of the old slave. What do you want to achieve today's status? Your Majesty, the old slave is asking for nothing more than the few people left in the world, there is a seemingly beautiful old face to cover his ugly life, there are nearly 10,000 eunuchs in the palace, who is not the same as the old slave? Your Majesty's ......"

Liu Jin suddenly kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao as he spoke, and his cry became hoarse: "Your Majesty, the old slave is guilty, and he was forced by the courtiers, forced by himself, forced by the old slave's own crippled body, His Majesty, His Majesty, the old slave stained his hands with blood, but the old slave was sincere and loyal to His Majesty, and this heart can be learned every day!" ”

Zhu Houzhao cried: "You are sincere and loyal, but you are also innocent!" What should I do? Should I kill you or should I stay? ”

Liu Jin also cried: "Your Majesty, I am a slave of the heavenly family, life and death are only in the next thought of Your Majesty, killing me or keeping me is the grace of Your Majesty." ”

The two of them wept at each other, crying incessantly.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Houzhao seemed to have made a decision, and after exhaling a long breath of turbidity, he said slowly: "Liu Jin, don't be the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, go back and clean up, and leave Beijing tomorrow to go to Fengyang, the central capital, to guard the emperor's mausoleum." ”

Liu Jin raised his head suddenly, and his face instantly turned terrifyingly pale.

Fengyang guarding the mausoleum is equivalent to being deposed and degraded, other eunuchs are good to say, guarding the imperial mausoleum for a few years may be remembered by His Majesty, and transferred back to the capital to be beautiful again, but he Liu Jin almost offended the whole world, if he removes the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, will he have the life to live to Fengyang? Can you still expect to be transferred back to Jingshi in a few years?

Deep despair and fear enveloped Liu Jin, Liu Jin seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and after the aura of power disappeared from the top of his head, his soul seemed to have disappeared with the aura, leaving only a dying shell.

His body trembled a few times, and Liu Jin slowly bowed his head and bowed: "Old slave Xie Your Majesty will not kill your grace, old slave ...... Farewell to Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Houzhao burst into tears, turned his back and waved his hand back wordlessly.

Liu Jin got up, shrunk and walked slowly towards the door of the hall, turning back three times in one step, but only seeing Zhu Houzhao's lonely and lonely back.

Walking to the threshold of the main hall, when he was about to step out of the hall, Liu Jin suddenly gritted his teeth.

This step is equivalent to stepping into death, and he can't sit still! He's going to fight for his life!

In silence, Liu Jin turned around again and looked at Zhu Houzhao's back with tears like rain.

"Your Majesty, in the future, when the old slave is not by your side, you have to take care of yourself, remember to add clothes when the weather is cold, remember to eat when you are hungry, the first emperor has passed away for two years, and only your Majesty is alone, you ...... I have to feel more sorry for myself, the old slave can't worry about His Majesty anymore......"

Zhu Houzhao, who was facing away from Liu Jin, suddenly turned around and burst into tears.

The last words finally melted Zhu Houzhao's hard heart and hit the softest and most fragile place in his heart.

"Liu Jin, you come back! I don't have my father, how can I have you anymore? ”

With Zhu Houzhao's words, Liu Jin's old rickety body instantly regained its former uprightness, and the lost aura shrouded his head again, this halo is called "power".

******************************************************************

Qin Kan walked out of the leopard room, he walked very slowly, walked very quietly, with a deep helplessness on his face.

He knew very well what Liu Jin would leave alone just now, and he also knew very well what fate Liu Jin would have after staying.

Killing Hua Chang, stabbing Zhang Gan, and even framing him, all of these add up to still not arouse Zhu Houzhao's real killing intention, because Zhu Houzhao has not been touched by Liu Jin, and he has not really been hurt and hurt by Liu Jin.

It is so difficult to kill Liu Jin, he seems to live under the wings of a god, the same age as a god.

Although disappointed in his heart, Qin Kan didn't have any intention of blaming Zhu Houzhao.

He knew Liu Jin's status in Zhu Houzhao's heart, Zhu Houzhao was just a seventeen-year-old child, this child had lost his father, and he couldn't lose Liu Jin's relatives anymore.

Heaven is fair and the only remaining relatives, taking and giving are all from their hearts.

The footsteps behind him were familiar, and Qin Kan showed a wry smile.

"Boy, what are you doing so fast? Do you owe money to the old man? Li Dongyang caught up with him in three steps and two steps.

"The juniors also remember that they shouldn't owe you any money, but the sound of Mr. Xiya's debt-like footsteps makes the juniors a little nervous......"

Li Dongyang looked around left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he grabbed Qin Kan's robe sleeve, lowered his voice and said, "Say, what happened just now?" King Anhua's rebellion was obviously concocted by you, why didn't you present it to His Majesty just now? With the handle of the two cases of Huachang and Zhang Qian, coupled with the rebellion of King Anhua, His Majesty must be suspicious of Liu Jin, and the old man will launch a blow to the courtier's Golden Palace in the future, and Liu Jin's demise is in front of him, why did you miss such a God-given opportunity? ”

"Because the junior suddenly felt that he admired Liu Jin just now, and he couldn't bear to kill him......"

Li Dongyang stared at Qin Kan like a madman for a long time, and said slowly: "Qin Kan, is it so difficult for the old man to listen to the truth from your mouth?" ”

Qin Kan sighed: "Boss, the time to punish Liu Jin has not yet come, if I make a move just now, Liu Jin will at most send Fengyang to guard the mausoleum, it will never be possible to put him to death, after a year and a half, His Majesty will remember Liu Jin's various benefits, and a will will recall him from Fengyang, and still serve as the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, as a result, the situation we have been planning for a long time is all in vain, this is called fighting the snake and not dying, but suffering from it." ”

Li Dongyang was puzzled and said: "There are many things that have brought disaster to the country and the law, and His Majesty only sent Liu Jin to Fengyang?" This...... Impossible, right? ”

Qin Kan smiled bitterly.

Li Dongyang is scheming and an old fox, but his understanding of Zhu Houzhao is obviously not enough, he underestimated Liu Jin's survival ability, and also underestimated Zhu Houzhao's soft-heartedness.

"Boss, Liu Jin sat on a solid pile of wrong things, according to the law, he could have killed him ten times, but none of these things touched the sore spot of His Majesty, if His Majesty was not really heartbroken by Liu Jin, he would never kill Liu Jin, if the grass can't be eradicated, I would rather not move this grass to the slightest."

Li Dongyang was slightly moved, then a little discouraged, shook his head and sighed: "It is so difficult to kill a powerful eunuch, what kind of soup did Liu Jin pour into His Majesty?" ”

Qin Kan said with a smile: "It's not a soup, the life talisman on Liu Jin's body was obtained by him as a cow and a horse in the East Palace for ten years, and it may be mediocre for His Majesty not to kill Liu Jin, but from another point of view, why not value love and righteousness?" With all due respect, I'd rather see a mediocre emperor who values love and righteousness than a ruthless king who only values the law. ”

These words were too deviant, even though Li Dongyang admired Qin Kan a lot, he still couldn't help frowning and glancing at him.

Qin Kan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't glare at me, my lord, I'm just telling the truth, if nothing else, at this moment, Your Majesty should have forgiven Liu Jin for killing Hua Changmanmen, as well as stabbing Zhang Qian, and framing me for these three crimes." ”

Li Dongyang was taken aback: "What? Forgiveness? ”

Qin Kan sighed: "A eunuch can cover the sky with one hand and dominate the dynasty for two years, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have to grovel, even the elders of the three dynasties like the old man will inevitably have sycophancy for the time being, it is expedient to do this, he naturally has his ability, you all underestimate Liu Jin's status in the heart of His Majesty, even if I take out the rebellion of King Anhua today, I am afraid that it will still be forgiven by His Majesty." ”
