Chapter 486: To Each His Own Calculation
Qin Kan knew that Zhu Houzhao was helping him silently support, Zhu Houzhao knew that this time was unusual, this was someone who wanted Qin Kan's life, but the only thing Zhu Houzhao could do was to avoid delay, this is an era when the power of the subject is greater than the power of the monarch, the emperor cannot do whatever he wants, Zhu Houzhao can only do his best to avoid and delay for Qin Kan.
"After all, you have to rely on yourself to break the situation......" Qin Kan muttered to himself, moved by Zhu Houzhao silently taking responsibility for him, but he also knew that Zhu Houzhao would not be able to last long, and today the right deputy capital Yushi hit the palace gate with his head, presumably the crowd became more and more angry, but Zhu Houzhao was ruthless and killed Liwei, and the matter will become more and more serious.
Since Zhengde ascended the throne, the ministers have indeed died a lot, but few ministers were personally ordered to be executed by Zhu Houzhao, later generations said that Zhu Houzhao "mediocre, absurd, rebellious, fornication" and many other comments, but no one labeled him as a "tyrant", just because Zhu Houzhao is indeed not a tyrant, he is at best just a teenager with different ideas in his head than most people, he loves to play and love novelty and martial arts, but he is by no means a butcher, Zhengde was once executed by Zhu Houzhao personally ordered to be executed by a handful of ministers, Most of the ministers were killed by Liu Jin, and some were found by political opponents in the court dispute and executed by pulling their heads down.
Ding Shun asked respectfully, "Does Master Hou have any orders?" The subordinates are willing to go to the soup for the Hou Ye! ”
Qin Kan pondered for a long time, and sighed: "What I lack most now is time, count the days, and the king of Anhua should also be launched, but unfortunately Gansu is too far away from the Beijing Division, and the news cannot reach the Beijing Division for a while, and Liu Jin's knife has been hanging over my head, if I am asked." Liu Jin will definitely not let me live......"
"If you ask Your Majesty to delay for a few more days......"
Qin Kan sighed: "I can't delay it anymore, Your Majesty has already helped me work very hard." ”
Ding Shun said thoughtfully: "Master Hou, do you say that Your Majesty knows that these things are all Liu Jin's ghost behind his back?" ”
Qin Kan smiled bitterly: "Maybe you know the way, maybe you don't know the way, even if Your Majesty asks Liu Jin in person, I'm afraid Liu Jin won't admit it, on the surface, it is the civil officials who are making the most trouble now, and it has nothing to do with Liu Jin." ”
"Master Hou, it's better to find a reason to temporarily go out of Beijing to avoid trouble. It won't be a few days. When the military report from Gansu was sent to Beijing, Hou Ye and Liu Jin's offensive and defensive situation was immediately changed, and Hou Ye returned to Beijing to pack up the castration. ”
Qin Kan shook his head and said: "It's not appropriate, leaving Beijing means that you can't control the situation in Beijing." Inability to respond to changes in a timely manner. After all, there are more disadvantages than advantages......"
Ding Shun became more and more irritable. He is good at killing people and setting fires, but his ideas are not this material.
Qin Kan picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and said, "What we need most now is time." Therefore, I have to think of a way to make Liu Jin and the ministers temporarily pause for a while, and when the Gansu army reports to Beijing, then I can turn the passive into the active. ”
"How did Master Hou make Liu Jin and the ministers stop?"
Qin Kan didn't answer and asked: "As an old opponent, I haven't paid close attention to Liu Jin's family background, Ding Shun, have you checked this aspect?" ”
"That old gelding is the Hou Ye is a mortal enemy, how dare his subordinates not investigate?"
"Tell me."
"Yes, Liu Jin's surname is talking, his hometown is in Xingping, Shaanxi, and was later adopted by a eunuch named Liu Shun, so he changed his surname to Liu, and then he entered the palace and has been named 'Liu Jin', this guy is really good at sycophancy, in order to please his eunuch godfather, not only changed his surname, but also changed the surname of his brother and nephew to Liu, his brother's name is Liu Jingxiang, his nephew's name is Liu Erhan, at present, Liu Jingxiang has hung a Jinyi Wei Commander's false title in Beijing, and Liu Erhan has entered the country to study, the old Liu family is going to send ah......"
"What else?"
"Also, Liu Jin patted his ass so completely and crisply, at that time he was powerless and powerless in the palace, in order to tie up his eunuch godfather surnamed Liu, he changed his surname, and even moved the graves of his own biological parents to the old eunuch's hometown Hejian Mansion, I don't know if his parents were so angry that they lifted the lid of the coffin."
Qin Kan nodded nonchalantly, and then suddenly said: "Slow, the ancestral grave of Liu Jin's parents has moved to Hejian Mansion?" ”
"Yes, the old eunuch Liu Shun was originally from Hejian Mansion, and he was buried in his hometown after he died of illness, Liu Jin made a wish before his death, telling him that he must move his parents' graves here, and the old eunuch will be with him in the future after a hundred years, and he will be filial piety......"
Qin Kan muttered: "What's wrong with this world, I move the graves of my parents here and there at every turn, and I am not afraid of retribution, Li Gao of Liaodong is like this, and Liu Jin is the same......"
Ding Shun comforted: "But all bad people will move their graves......"
Qin Kan stared at him unkindly.
Ding Shun was startled and immediately slapped himself. He suddenly remembered that the ancestral tomb of Marquis Qin had also been moved, and it was moved by Ding Shun himself......
The two were silent for a long time, Qin Kan's eyes suddenly blinked rapidly, and soon the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a smile with an evil smell.
Ding Shun's eyelids jumped, every time he saw Hou Ye's smile, it meant that the bad water in Hou Ye's stomach began to gurgle.
"Master Hou has an idea?"
Qin Kan said slowly: "Ding Shun, you can help me do something......
Ding Shun Ai Ai said: "Master Hou...... You don't want to dig Liu Jin's ancestral grave again, do you? The subordinates who dig graves will be retributed......"
Qin Kan said angrily: "Nonsense! How could Ben Hou do such a lack of virtue? ”
Ding Shun: "............"
"This time I won't ask you to dig a grave, on the contrary, I want you to dig a grave."
Ding Shun was stunned: "Repair the grave? ”
"Yes, help Father-in-law Liu repair the grave, gave birth to such a bastard son, Father-in-law Liu's parents must not be at peace under Jiuquan, you go to help Father-in-law Liu fulfill his filial piety, and by the way, he also accumulates yin virtue for himself, after all, you have dug Li Gao's ancestral grave before."
Ding Shun was confused: "Master Hou...... You are now in a critical situation, why did you suddenly remember to repair Liu Jin's grave? ”
The corners of Qin Kan's mouth hooked slightly, and he lowered his voice and said: "Go and repair the ancestral tomb for Liu Jin, if you are exquisite, you must be luxurious, you must be magnificent, and it is best to ...... Cultivate the scale of the emperor's tomb, and then bury some dragon robes, jade seals, golden knives or something, and send someone back to Beijing as soon as possible......"
Ding Shunfu was blessed to his heart, and said with great joy: "...... Spread rumors all over the city! said that he Liu Jin wanted to rebel, and his parents had been privately respected by Liu Jin as the Emperor and the Queen Mother! ”
Qin Kan said unhappily: "How can it be a rumor? Obviously, there is solid evidence, real gold is not afraid of fire, no matter who the court sends down to investigate, it can find evidence, Liu Gonggong's rebellious mind can stand the test of facts, as soon as this matter started, Liu Jin refuted the rumors, and asked the local government in the text, and it would take five or six days to come and go, and then it was estimated that the military report from Gansu should go to Beijing......"
Ding Shun was overjoyed: "Master Hou is clever!" There is such a fatal matter, Liu Jin is in a hurry to refute the rumors, and the cabinet is busy investigating the local government, not to mention that this matter is much more serious than the case of Hua Chang being wiped out, and the courtiers' firepower is naturally all turned to Liu Jin, let's just hide on the side and watch Liu Jin's liveliness, and wait for the military report in Gansu by the way......"
Ding Shun said for a moment, and hesitated: "But Lord Hou, when Liu Jin heard this rumor, he must send someone to Hejian Mansion to destroy the evidence, at that time, the so-called imperial scale was all pushed, and all the dragon robes and golden knives buried were taken away by them, how can the cabinet still have evidence to check?" ”
"Then it's even simpler, find a Yan official to refer to Liu Jin, and say that Liu Jin pushed the grave of his parents, this is a big unfilial piety, not only to parade the streets, but also to ask the guilt, Your Majesty is a sincere and filial person, if you hear this, keep him and see Liu Jin in the future, he will be disgusted...... Regardless of whether Liu Jin can get out of this incident or not, the most important thing is that we have bought time! ”
A few drops of cold sweat oozed from Ding Shun's forehead, Gonggong Liu was really going to be killed by Hou Ye this time......
"One more thing......"
"Master Hou, please command."
"Pai Jin Yiwei keeps a close eye on Liu Jin's brother Liu Jingxiang, as well as his nephew Liu Erhan, don't touch them on weekdays, but when I want to use them, you have to tie people up and bring them to me at any time."
"Yes!"
*****************************************************************
Master of Ceremonies.
Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, Zhang Cai, Zhang Wenmian and other Liu Jin's main henchmen gathered together.
The layout has come to this point, and Liu Jin feels that he is almost touching the shadow of success, just a little bit, so he can't relax at this moment.
"Duke Liu, Your Majesty has always avoided the courtiers, and it is not good for everyone to continue to stalemate in this matter, we have to find a way to break the deadlock." Zhang Wenmian has the lowest official position, but he is the most showy among the party henchmen, and he likes to talk about everything first.
Jiao Fang and Liu Yu are old fritters in officialdom, holding their beards and half-closing their eyes silently, as if they were asleep.
Zhang Cai is now also a secretary of the ministry, and he doesn't have a good face for Zhang Wenmian, the staff member next to Liu Jin, he glanced at him contemptuously and didn't speak.
Liu Jin smiled with a wrinkled face, and said: "Your Majesty's patience is only a few days, but we can't afford to wait for these few days, count the days, King Anhua may have already raised troops, it is estimated that the military newspaper is on the way to the Beijing Division, and when the military report enters the Beijing Division, the attention of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military affairs has all shifted to counterinsurgency, and at that time, the miscellaneous family is afraid that the situation against Qin Khenpo will fall short, so the miscellaneous family can't wait, can't wait!" Be sure to take Qin Kan within three days! ”
"What should I do if Your Majesty has been pressing this matter?"
Liu Jin thought for a while, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Who is the most active person in the courtiers to impeach Qin Kan now?" ”
"Zhang Gan, the right deputy capital of the imperial history, this afternoon in order to ask His Majesty to severely punish Qin Kan, Zhang Qian crashed on the palace gate and fainted."
"Very good, send someone to sneak into Zhang Qian's mansion tonight, and then ......" Liu Jin made a movement to wipe his neck.
Everyone stared at Liu Jin in astonishment.
Liu Jin sneered: "At the time when Qin Kan was embattled, he demanded that Qin Kan's loudest voice be severely punished and was stabbed to death in the mansion, what did the Manchu Dynasty civil and military think?" Can Your Majesty still sit down at that time? ”
Looking at Liu Jin's gloomy and sympathetic gaze, everyone trembled, and suddenly felt cold all over their bodies. (To be continued......)
