On the morning of Liu Jin's decision to go to the banquet, news came out from the Fusi Yamen of Jinyi Weibei Town.

After Ren Liangbi, the left senator of the General Administration Department who requested the mass production of the Franco cannon, was taken to the edict prison, the commander Qin Kan ordered him to be tortured, and it is said that the terrible screams in the edict prison that night continued, and it was rumored that Ren Liangbi had only half a life left, and he was about to die.

When the news came out, there was an uproar.

The ministers were angry, the imperial historians were angry, and Qin Kan was listed as an extra-large national thief after Liu Jin, ranking in order, ranking on loyalty and traitor.

Countless impeachments flew into the palace like snowflakes.

Liu Gonggong, the celebrant who suddenly burst with a sense of justice, was furious, and successively ordered Jinyiwei in the name of the celebrant and Xichang to immediately release the innocent minister, and ordered some people in high positions not to use the power in their hands to go against the grain and go further and further down the wrong path......

Gonggong Liu gave the order, and the spirits of the Xichang fans also rose, and an action codenamed "Save the Loyal Ministers Liangliang" was quickly launched.

Liu Gonggong, who had done many injustices, finally did a good deed, so under the leadership of Jiao Fang, Zhang Cai and other minions, the Manchu Dynasty received rave reviews for its civil and military affairs, or praised it sincerely or falsely.

Since becoming the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, how has Liu Jin ever been praised like this? For a while, a huge sense of happiness surrounded him, and Liu Jin felt that he had never felt fulfillment, and the belief that "I am actually a good person" was deeply implanted in his heart.

Iron must be struck while it is hot, and good people must also be hot.

Although the so-called Furlong cannons were unheard of. But Liu Jin's logic is very simple, Ren Liangbi is a loyal minister, and the suggestions put forward by the loyal minister must also be correct, otherwise why highlight the light of the loyal minister? How to show the correctness of Liu Gonggong's courage to save his loyal ministers? How can it show that Qin Kan is a negative teaching material that can't be blacker anymore?

The celebrant of the forbidden palace sent out an order.

The inner treasury allocated 400,000 taels of silver, mobilized 2 million catties of pig iron from the national treasury, and dismantled the molds and opened the furnace to make iron, and began to make all efforts to imitate the Franco machine gun.

This order from Gonggong Liu, who had just done a good deed, angered a group of court ministers.

A group of old ministers led by Liu Daxia turned their joy into anger and fiercely opposed the mass production of the Franco cannon, and in the traitorous ranking in the hearts of the ministers, Qin Kan had just taken the lead by a narrow margin. As a result, Liu Jin rose up to catch up. The hat of the number one traitor takes turns on the heads of the two.

Liu Jin, who was full of interest, was unexpectedly opposed to the Manchu Dynasty, but he didn't expect that his kindness would make a fuss, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, so the celebrant passed the word again.

The Franc cannon must be mass-produced! It is useless for anyone to oppose it. I don't want to eat a cane. They're all gone, go home!

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

It's not difficult to pretend to be a good person. The difficult thing is to pretend to be a good person for a lifetime.

Liu Jin's performance fully proves that this sentence is an unbreakable truth.

In less than a day, the good man Liu Gonggong couldn't pretend anymore, revealing his hideous face. Even scolding and frighteningly, the troublesome ministers were driven home.

At noon, the palace Wenhua Hall.

The hall was quiet, and the three cabinet scholars each occupied a table, bowing their heads and reading the recitals.

The hall was filled with a faint smell of sandalwood, and the old cough came out from time to time, and the little eunuch on duty hurriedly took the delicate copper spittoon and handed it to Jiao Fang, looking at the nearly eighty-year-old scholar Jiao who coughed violently, the little eunuch smiled and gave up a hand to gently caress Jiao Fang's back.

After coughing for a long time, Jiao Fang spit into the spittoon, took the teacup and rinsed his mouth, and then gasped and smiled apologetically at Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe on the other side.

"People are old and useless, disturbing the peace of the two, forgive sins."

Yang Tinghe laughed twice, nodded at Jiao Fang, and then lowered his head and continued to review the recital.

Li Dongyang was much more enthusiastic, and smiled lightly at Jiao Fang: "Jiao Lao works hard for the country and thinks hard, but you have to pay attention to your body, the things of the world can never be done, and it is the right thing to take care of your body." ”

Jiao Fang smiled and nodded: "Xiya is right, state affairs cannot be done, although the old man is eighty, he still wants to live a few more days and relieve his worries for our majesty." ”

A little eunuch walked into the hall and whispered to Jiao Fang: "Lord Jiao, Gonggong Liu is invited." ”

Jiao Fang calmly put down the pen, got up and straightened his clothes, smiled and confessed to Li Yang and the others, and slowly walked out of the Wenhua Palace.

As soon as Jiao Fang left, Yang Tinghe, who had been silent, stood up and walked to Li Dongyang's side, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xiya, this Jiao Fang is in collusion with Liu Jin, and he is embarrassed, why do you bother with this kind of person?" ”

Li Dongyang smiled faintly and said, "Why do you have to be sabre-rattling to show the distinction between black and white, loyalty and treachery?" Whether it's good or bad, after all, they are ministers in the same hall, and now in the court, aren't there enough ministers who are attached to Liu Jin? What can you do with them? ”

Yang Tinghe sighed: "The eunuchs are in power, the ugliness are clinging, and this court is getting more and more chaotic...... As soon as the early dynasty was dispersed today, Liu Jin handed a note to the cabinet, saying that it was a copy of the Franc machine cannon for mass production by the Creation Bureau, and asked us to send it to the celebrant for approval after the vote, this eunuch likes to mix in everything, doesn't he know how much it will cost to produce this Franc cannon? Mr. Xiya, do you want to approve this vote? ”

Li Dongyang groaned as if he were an old monk.

Yang Tinghe waited for a long time, and when he saw that Li Dongyang had no reaction, he couldn't help but be anxious: "Mr. Xiya, whether you are allowed or not, you have something to say." ”

Li Dongyang slowly opened his eyes, and a wise light flashed in his eyes.

"Jiefu, you said, is the idea of mass-producing the Franco cannon really from Liu Jin?"

Yang Tinghe Yileng said: "Liu Jin has handed over the note, isn't he who he is?" ”

Li Dongyang was noncommittal, laughed twice, and said: "The old man heard a few days ago that Qin Kan, Marquis of Shanyin, met Liu Daxia and asked for mass production of the Franco cannon, but he hit a nail in Liu Shangshu's place, and on the second day, he inexplicably formed a grudge with Ren Liangbi, and obviously took the initiative to ask for mass production, but Qin Kan immediately changed his tone and became fiercely opposed, and another day later, Liu Jin caught fire strangely in the outer house of Lingchun Fang, but the arsonist was Liu Daxia's only son......"

"Mr. Siya means ......"

"Jiefu, don't you think there is something strange about these things? Qin Kan in the eyes of the old man is not the kind of superficial person who gambles on state affairs for the sake of personal grudges, Liu Jin's outer house is magnificent, but he has gone to the water at this juncture, hehe......"

Yang Tinghe can become a cabinet scholar, naturally he is not a stupid person, Li Dongyang said a few words, Yang Tinghe immediately opened his eyes wide, and he was stunned and did not say a word.

Li Dongyang's eyes narrowed into a slit: "There must be an internal cause for this matter, our father-in-law Liu, I'm afraid that we will be used as a gun, and we are unconscious...... This little fox is getting more and more sophisticated, hehe. (To be continued.) )
