"Don't your majesty know how huge your land is now?" Li Ji said angrily in the matter of the household department: "Since Liu Jin took charge of the ceremonial supervisor, he said to the cabinet and courtiers that the inner treasury costs a lot and cannot make ends meet, and also said that His Majesty can't bear to give the people more than he can afford because of his own expenses, so Liu Jin ordered the land in the north to be filled with the imperial village, and all the products of the imperial village are put into the inner treasury, and the household department shall not interfere with ......"

Li Ji looked up to the sky and laughed a few times: "What a 'can't bear to pay for one's own expenses and give it to all people'!" As everyone knows, under Liu Jin's order, the squires in the prefectures and counties of Beizhili went bankrupt, and the thin fields on which ordinary peasant households relied for their survival all became His Majesty's private property, and peasant households became serfs and even outcasts! Since last year, several prefectures and counties in Beizhili have provoked civil uprisings, all of which have arisen because of this, but the government extinguished it in time and did not become a catastrophe! When the news of the civil uprising entered Beijing, the celebrant seized and intercepted it, and did not let His Majesty see a word, and if he heard a word, if the officials dared to resist, they would be taken to prison, and if the people dared to resist, they would raid their homes and exterminate the clan. ”

"If Liu Jin really turned the encircled land as the imperial village, although the means were vicious, he was still loyal, but the tens of thousands of hectares of encircled land in Beizhili were only one-twelfth of the people who were really enclosed as the imperial village, and the rest were all privately swallowed by Liu Jin and Neikuma Yongcheng and the eunuchs and eunuchs who worked below, and the land under Liu Jin's name alone has exceeded 20,000 hectares, Your Majesty, why don't you just open your eyes and take a look?"

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about others scolding him in front of him at this time, and said angrily: "I don't believe it!" Even if the enclosure is really something, it is just that the people below are acting against him and doing evil in private behind his back. Liu Jin is just a eunuch, it is difficult to get out of the palace once a year, how much evil can he do? What's the use of him enclosing so much land? Don't you think it's unfair to blame Liu Jin for all the evil done by others? ”

Zhang Cai, the secretary of the ministry, seemed to have simply betrayed Liu Jin to the end, and as soon as Zhu Houzhao's words fell, Zhang Cai stood up again, slowly took out a booklet and raised his hands above his head.

"Your Majesty, Liu Jin has covered a total area of more than 20,000 hectares in the past two years, and every acre of land can be checked, and the land he owns is huge. Several large Ming domains belonged to neighboring countries. Your Majesty, please take a look at it. ”

"Zhang Cai, you ......!" Zhu Houzhao pointed at him and trembled angrily.

Zhang Cai's face was expressionless, and he silently retreated to the court.

Li Ji cried out in mourning: "Your Majesty! Liu Jin's crime was framed by non-ministers. The piles are well-documented. What is the meaning of 'unfairness'? ”

Zhu Houzhao sat back on the dragon chair. Looking at the indifferent ministers in the hall, he wept and said, "Liu Jin, eunuchs." Why is it harmful? The Manchu Dynasty ministers often say that Confucianism is the way of benevolence and forgiveness, why can't you tolerate a eunuch? ”

Cabinet University Scholar Yang Tinghe slowly came out of class.

"Your Majesty, in the past when the East Palace was in the Spring Fang, the minister taught His Majesty to study, and His Majesty read through the subset of scriptures and history, have you forgotten how many eunuchs have been eunuchs and eunuchs since the Han and Tang Dynasties? Why did Your Majesty come up with the fallacy of 'why is it harmful'? It's not that the ministers can't tolerate this eunuch, but that heaven and justice can't tolerate Liu Jin! ”

Seeing that the former teachers had come out to speak, Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized that today's situation was more serious than he imagined.

Zhu Houzhao, who was originally full of resentment, is really panicked now.

"I ...... I am tired today, I don't want to discuss this matter anymore, so I retreat from the court......"

"Your Majesty!" Yang Tinghe stepped forward angrily: "Your Majesty will hide when something happens, when will you hide?" Today, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military personnel impeached Liu Jin, every word is reasonable, restrained and well-founded, why does Your Majesty still turn a blind eye? The first emperor and many virtuous ministers worked all their lives, and finally handed over this great foundation to Your Majesty, but Liu Jin has devastated this country and ruined the world, and His Majesty is still protecting him, what face will you have to see your father in the future? ”

Yang Tinghe's eyes were filled with tears, and he choked up: "When Liu Jin's steel knife rests on the necks of many loyal ministers and good generals, how much do ministers hope that Your Majesty can protect us like Liu Jin, the ministers are the old ministers left by the first emperor to assist Your Majesty in governing the country, not your enemy, why does Your Majesty regard the power of the country as a father and a mother, but regard us as mortal enemies?" Your Majesty is no longer a child, and you know right and wrong, don't you still see who is harming the inheritance left to you by your father, and who is enduring humiliation and hardship to support the improvised society? ”

Zhu Houzhao only felt that he had been forced into a corner, and there was no way to retreat, so he couldn't help crying: "Mr. Yang, why are you also forced me?" Even if Liu Jin did some evil things and encircled some land, I ordered him to go back, didn't he kill him? ”

Yang Tinghe sighed abruptly.

But another calm voice came from the crowd.

"Liu Jin's crime, the crime should be Ling Chi, how can Your Majesty not punish him?"

Yan Song, who rarely spoke in the court meeting on weekdays, slowly walked out of the court class.

"Minister, Yan Song, the left attendant of the military department, tell Liu Jin three times, and listen to Fu Qitian!"

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

Inside the celebrant prison.

Liu Jin sat behind the bookcase in a daze, unconsciously staring at the mountains of music on the case, but he didn't know where his soul was wandering.

Last night, after reading the whole night, he stayed up all night, and when the morning was about to dawn, he was about to call a caring little eunuch to beat his waist and legs, so that he could take a nap beautifully, but the sound of the bell of the Yin Clock and Drum Division made his right eyelid jump, and he felt a flustered for no reason, and a sense of foreboding enveloped him with a sense of impending disaster, but he didn't know where this feeling came from.

Liu Jin couldn't sleep, and sat on the chair in a dark yellow python robe.

The python robe was in the first year of Zhengde after Liu Jin was in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood for a while, and rewarded him with a smooth mouth, but Liu Jin cherished it very much, and ordered Shangyi to supervise the production of ten pieces of daily rotation, once a small eunuch accidentally splashed a little tea on the python robe, Liu Jin was furious and killed him alive, and he was so distressed that he didn't fall asleep for half a night.

The python robe draped on the body is still as noble as it was at the beginning, and the four-clawed golden python embroidered on the shoulders and chest is lifelike, as if it is out of the brocade, soaring into the sky.

Liu Jin's right hand gently stroked the golden python on his shoulder, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

What about what Wanfu refers to? What about internal and external difficulties?

At the beginning, the inner and outer courts joined forces to strangle, how powerful was the power, but he was still safe and sound? Although he is in a dangerous situation again, as long as His Majesty's favor is not reduced, he Liu Jin will definitely not be able to die.

Under the big tomorrow, after all, the surname is Zhu.

If the co-leader of the Ming Dynasty doesn't want to kill him, who in the world can kill him? Does Qin Kan dare to knife him Liu Jin? In the eyes of outsiders, the so-called ironclad evidence, the so-called various crimes, as long as His Majesty wants to spare him, hasn't he been exposed with a single word?

Liu Jin felt more and more that his outlook on life was very correct, and he hugged the emperor's thigh tightly and did not let go.

It's just that...... Where did the premonition of impending catastrophe come from in my heart today?

Liu Jin's right eyelid twitched a few more times.

…………

…………

The sound of hurried footsteps spread from the corridor outside the celebrant to the house, Liu Jin's heartbeat quickened a lot for no reason, and the foreboding deepened as the footsteps got closer and closer.

A little eunuch staggered to the side of the celebrant with a pale face, and said in horror: "Ancestor, it's not good! Zhang Gonggong, the eunuch on duty outside the Fengtian Palace, asked the slaves and maids to hurry up to report the news, at the Golden Palace court meeting at this time today, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were launched! They all joined the people to impeach you, the ancestor, and asked Your Majesty to punish you and kill you! Your Majesty was forced to cry by them! ”

Liu Jin was like being struck by thunder, and suddenly felt cold hands and feet, and a deep despair hit his heart.

After being stunned for a moment, Liu Jin bounced up from the chair like an electric shock, wrapped the python robe on his shoulders at will, rushed out of the gate of the celebrant and ran towards the Fengtian Palace.

The scenery in his eyes is rapidly receiving, and the figures of the guards and little eunuchs who are patrolling the road to salute him are also regressing, Liu Jin is anxious and running fast, from the celebrant to the Fengtian Palace, the distance that usually takes half an hour to get is only a pillar of incense today.

Outside the Fengtian Palace, Liu Jin put his hands on his knees, bent over and panting, but he clearly heard the cold iron-like voice of Yan Song, the left attendant of the military department in the hall.

"Minister, Yan Song, the left attendant of the military department, tell Liu Jin three times, and listen to Fu Qitian!"

Liu Jin fell into an ice cave, and he didn't care about the rules of the court at the moment, he stepped forward in a few steps, and knelt down outside the high threshold without stepping into the palace door, crying bitterly: "Your Majesty - the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have wronged me, Your Majesty should save the old slave——"

"Father-in-law Liu, this fourth glass of wine, forgive me for still not being able to respect you, you ignore the times, don't know the dangers of the new deal, forcibly check the official Cangjuntun, and investigate the corrupt officials in the world, but you don't know the way to change the law is to slowly figure it out, and the exchange of Yizi and even compromise can be successful, because of your reckless new policy decree, you forced the rebellion of Zhu Ningyao, the king of Anhua, and the Yansui soldiers of Ningxia, Gansu, resulting in the war burning all over the three sides, and millions of people in the three provinces were in misery. This glass of wine is a tribute to the innocent people on the three sides who fell into the war and caused the destruction of their families and their wives and their separation! ”

The amber wine juice spilled into the black soil, Qin Kan's hand holding the cup squeezed it fiercely, the small wine cup shattered in response, the porcelain piece pierced into Qin Kan's palm deeply, and a stream of red blood dripped down the palm lines.

It is like an ancient blood sacrifice, which sacrificed countless ants who were as cheap as grass mustard, but it could not soothe the sting of the family and country.

"Minister, Yan Song, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, and Liu Jin, the third supervisor of the Ministry of Ceremonies, misled the country and forced the Ganxi Border Army, resulting in the destruction of lives, the shaky society, and the destruction of millions of people's families, all of which are Liu Jin's crimes!"

Yan Song didn't care about Liu Jin's howling for help outside the hall, and calmly played Liu Jin's charges without blinking his eyes.

Outside the hall, Liu Jin's howl suddenly paused, and then roared like a ghost: "Yan Song! You are untrustworthy and framing miscellaneous families! The rebellion in Gansu and Shaanxi is all the crime of Zhu Ningyao, what does it have to do with the miscellaneous family? ”

Yan Song took out a slightly worn piece of paper from his arms, raised his hands above his head, and said excitedly: "Chen Fei framed, here is the military report sent to the Beijing Division Military Department by Yang Yiqing, the chief officer of the counterinsurgency, and Zhang Yong, the superintendent of the army, on an 800-mile fast horse sent to the Beijing Division, as well as a copy of the text that spread throughout Ganshan and Shaanxi during the rebellion of the rebel king Zhu Ningjiao, please read it Your Majesty!"
