People always have to know one or two wonderful friends in their lives, which is unavoidable, compared to Qin Kan's original cave room when he was pulled out of Tang Dacai to drink flower wine on the night of the candle in the cave room, this time it is normal for the third watch to come to discuss life with him in the middle of the night.

Qin Kan was so angry that he wanted to laugh.

After being an official for a long time, his status has gradually increased, and other people must always be careful when they speak and do things, and look at his face first, and if his expression is slightly wrong, he will quickly see the wind and change the rudder, as for this kind of thing in the middle of the night, they will never dare to kill those ministers and Jinyiwei's subordinates.

Probably only a friend would ignore his expression, ignore any time and place.

After pouring two sips of strong tea, Qin Kan's spirit improved, and then he smiled bitterly: "Brother Tang came to the door late at night, there should be something else, right?" ”

Tang Yin sighed faintly: "I have something on my mind......"

Qin Kan sighed: "It's the first time in my life to talk to a man in the middle of the night...... Well, tell me what's on your mind. ”

Tang Yin looked at Qin Kan and said, "I caused you a lot of trouble, and now the Jingshi is full of rumors and rumors, Qin Kan, I'm sorry for you......"

Qin Kan smiled: "Just for this? ”

Tang Yin was a little anxious: "Isn't this serious enough?" They said that in order to overturn the case for me, you killed Hua Chang Manmen more than 20 people, and now the Jingshi has already spread it, they said that Hua Chang dared to be the palace counselor to impeach the scientific examination fraud case, and there must be unfavorable evidence against the examiner and me in his hand, if Hua Chang dies, the unfavorable evidence will also be wiped out, and there is no evidence for death, so that the case will have a higher chance of winning......"

Qin Kan asked lightly, "Do you believe I did it?" ”

Tang Yin shook his head: "Don't believe it, you're not such a person." In the past two years, the world has spread all kinds of deeds about you, if according to your nature, it may be possible to kill Hua Chang alone, but you can't destroy him. ”

Qin Kan smiled with satisfaction, if Tang Yin said something suspicious of him, this friend would not be able to make friends anymore, and Qin Kan would not hesitate to abandon him if he retried the scientific examination fraud case, he didn't care what others thought of him, he only cared about his friend's thoughts, everyone in the world could bear me and abandon me. Friends can't be negative. It cannot be discarded and vice versa.

Qin Kan said leisurely: "Since you don't believe it, what are you doing in such a hurry?" ”

Tang Yin stomped his feet and said, "But ...... It's pouring dirty water on you! You are not afraid of people's words, but the three of you become tigers. Fling dirt enough and some will stick. The rumors kept going on like this. It's going to be terrible! ”

"Brother Tang, you don't understand, the scientific examination fraud case is just a reason, and Hua Chang's destruction is just a reason. Behind this incident, someone wants me to die, and even if the rumors stop, he will find another reason. ”

Tang Yin exclaimed: "The person you are talking about is ...... Liu Jin? ”

"Not bad."

"Why did Liu Jin put you to death? Is it true that as the rumors say, there will be no end to each other? ”

Qin Kan smiled bitterly: "Maybe Gonggong Liu saw that I had begged several wives, but he had the intention to kill the thief and was unable to return to the sky, probably jealous of me......"

Tang Yin hung his head and felt guilty: "Brother Qin Xian, I dragged you down, I shouldn't have asked you to help me overturn the case......"

Qin Kan said calmly: "Brother Bohu, the eldest husband has something to do, something not to do, what should belong to you, you have to get it back desperately, what you are fighting for is not a false name, but a clear name, a hundred years later, the world will praise your Tang Bohu's poetry and fame, there should be no stain of scientific research fraud in it, what I did for you is this." ”

Tang Yin's eyes were red, and he choked up: "Brother Qin Xian, I owe you too much...... When you were in Shaoxing, you borrowed my name to write countless masterpieces, helping me gain fame and fortune, and now you are falling into gossip because of me, you have always been helping me, I ......"

Qin Kan's eyes widened in surprise: "Do you know that the Tao of Lu is those poems that I wrote in your name?" ”

Tang Yin sighed: "Although I am a little confused, but you can't take me as a fool, I haven't realized it once or twice, after all, poetry and masterpieces often rely on a flash of inspiration, until the last time to write the "Journey to the West" script, you are still lying to me and saying that I wrote it when I was drunk, this is outrageous, this kind of hundreds of thousands of words of script, let alone drunk, even if I hit my head against the wall all day long, I can't write it, what's even more outrageous is that every time I get drunk, I can seamlessly connect the previous chapter back to the ......"

Qin Kan couldn't help but smile and said, "Since you have already seen through it, why are you so cooperative with me to get you drunk?" ”

Tang Yin also smiled: "Someone invites a drinker, it's always rude to refuse, I have a reputation and a drink, if you are me, will you cooperate?" ”

Qin Kan touched his nose and sighed: "Now that I think about it, it turns out that you were the one who took advantage of it at that time,...... I should have shared the dividends with you at the beginning, but I lost a lot of money......"

It turns out that there are no real fools in the world, how can the merry genius who wandered around the flowers in history be nerds?

appeased Tang Yin, Qin Kan told him that the scientific examination fraud case was just an excuse for Liu Jin to deal with him, and the Ming Dynasty's court struggle has always been like this, first it was an inconspicuous trivial matter, and the small matter was exaggerated and exaggerated by public opinion, and gradually became a big thing. The ability of the case is not fundamental, but the fundamental lies in the court dispute.

As for how to fight back, how to deal with Liu Jin, and what kind of bureau he set up, these must not say a word, although friends are valuable, but this kind of fatal thing is better not to mess around, otherwise it will harm others and yourself.

After saying this, Qin Kan let out a long yawn, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Brother Tang, it's not early...... No, it's already early, I'll arrange a room for you in the house, you can sleep for the time being, and tomorrow you and I will find a normal time to discuss how life is? ”

Tang Yin suddenly looked pitiful again: "But I still can't sleep......"

Qin Kan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I understand Brother Tang's mood very well, there are many reasons for insomnia, some are because of heart, and some are because of excitement......"

"What am I doing because of this?"

"You're guilty of a cheap ......" Qin Kan clapped his hands and raised his voice: "Come in two guards!" ”

Two guards appeared outside the hall in response, clasping their fists and saluting.

Qin Kan pointed at Tang Yin and instructed, "Go to the housekeeper in the front yard to get three jars of old wine." Drink with him, and pour him over in half an hour, and make him shut up and his eyes, and sleep with a smile. ”

"Order!"

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

Even the rain does not know the spring, and the summer is deep when it is sunny.

After three days of summer rain in Beijing, the weather cleared, and people felt the heat of summer.

In the celebrant prison, Liu Jin was wearing a single shirt, prostrating the official documents on the case, and the two little eunuchs gently fanned him.

It's not a big deal. It's all clichés. Cabinet scholars Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe don't know how these days, they are clearly a little lax in handling state affairs, and the bills that come up seem to be trivial, nothing more than a bumper rice harvest somewhere. Where there are too many redundant officials. It should be cut. Scholar Li, who has always been known for his pragmatism, even had nothing to do, and even went to a place where colorful auspicious clouds appeared, which was a note for the auspiciousness of the new dynasty, which made Liu Jin laugh.

"What's wrong with Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe? Could it be that the two of them are old. The older you get, the more confused you get? Liu Jin thought to himself.

The position of the cabinet scholar is not trivial, all matters in the outer court are decided by the cabinet in a word, and Liu Jin's power can be used to fight against Liu Jin's power, Liu Jin has the heart to find a reason for Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe, and replace his own henchmen, but Liu Jin has this thought, but he does not dare to act rashly, the last time Yang Tinghe was degraded to Nanjing, his majesty broke his head with a teacup, and Liu Jin really did not dare to move.

After the completion of the criticism, Liu Jin took another stack of official documents, this stack of official documents was presented by the West Factory, Liu Jin is now also the West Factory Factory, everything in the world, especially any wind and grass in Jinyiwei and the East Factory, he must know everything well.

Flipping through the first official document, Liu Jin glanced at it casually, and then fixed his gaze, his eyes widened in vain, and his rickety body quickly fell down, staring carefully at every sentence and word on the official document.

"The king of Anhua wants to rebel? This...... That's a big deal! Liu Jin was stunned and muttered.

After being stunned for a long time, Liu Jin suddenly suddenly stirred up his spirit, and raised his voice: "Quick, Zhou An, the head of the West Factory, is here to see the miscellaneous family!" ”

Although the scourge of Daming has reached such a point now, Liu Jin has never felt that he is a scourge, on the contrary, he feels that he is a hero, he has done so many things for Daming conscientiously, if it is not for the fact that he is a eunuch, he should be crowned a prince of the country, Liu Jin never wants to see someone make Zhu Houzhao instead, the country is in chaos and it is not good for him.

An hour later, Liu Jin finally determined the fact that King Anhua was plotting to rebel from Zhou Ankou, the head of the West Factory.

Bang!

Liu Jin slapped the case and shouted: "The thief is so bold!" ”

Zhou An, the head of the big stall, said respectfully: "Governor, this matter is not trivial, after learning about this matter, Xichang Fanzi went to Gansu to investigate, and soon there should be more detailed details to be sent to the Beijing Division." ”

Liu Jin frowned deeply, and said in a deep voice: "What you have found, why have Jinyiwei and Dongchang not moved?" ”

"This, the subordinates don't know, now Jinyiwei and the East Factory have become mortal enemies with my West Factory, and we have never exchanged news."

"Jin Yiwei is so useless? Qin Kan is not a fuel-efficient lamp......" Liu Jin was full of doubts: "Zhou An, how did the West Factory find out about the rebellion of King Anhua?" ”

Five days ago, Shaanxi Qingyang Mansion inland river investigation of a civilian ship, found that the goods loaded on the ship actually have the official system of the Pu knife 500 handles, soldiers on the ship to check, the boatman saw that the matter has been revealed, have jumped into the water and ran, the matter reported to the West Factory, the subordinates felt strange, so ordered Fanzi to investigate, according to the clues of the five hundred Pu knife all the way down the vine to touch the melon, found that all the spearheads pointed to the Anhua County Wangfu, the West Factory spies immediately sent someone to sneak in disguise, only to find this shocking secret ......"

The discovery of this matter seemed to be logical, Liu Jin's suspicion faded slightly, he pondered for a while, and suddenly was shocked: "What you can find, how can Jin Yiwei not find out?" Not good! Qin Kan must have rushed into the palace to play a secret performance to His Majesty before the miscellaneous family, this credit can't be snatched by him! ”

After speaking, Liu Jin got up and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

Zhou An hurriedly said: "Duke, please think twice!" ”

Liu Jin was displeased: "What are you thinking?" ”

"Duke, the rebellion of the vassal king is not trivial, and the secret performance to His Majesty must first have sufficient evidence, and secondly, it also depends on His Majesty's mood. Otherwise...... After all, it involves the royal family of the Heavenly Family, and the Governor must not be careless. ”

Liu Jin paused, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Zhou An, do you know Your Majesty?" ”

"The subordinates rarely worship Tianyan, how can they understand His Majesty?"

Liu Jin said leisurely: "You don't understand, but the miscellaneous family understands, the miscellaneous family has been serving His Majesty for ten years, and His Majesty has grown from a young child to a young man today, and the miscellaneous family has served all the way." The nature of the mind under His Majesty. How could the miscellaneous family not understand? ”

Liu Jin paused, and then said: "Your Majesty is a young man, likes to have fun, and likes to travel. Joy and obscenity. Rare birds and birds...... He likes a lot of things. Only I don't like government and state affairs, two years ago, the miscellaneous family was in charge of the ceremonial supervisor. Before His Majesty went down the steps, His Majesty was very impatient and said a word, he said, 'If everything is decided by me, what do I want you to do as the master of ceremonies?' With His Majesty's words, the miscellaneous family really took over the power of the celebrant and supervisor......"

Turning his gaze to the official document on the case, the corners of Liu Jin's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, and said lightly: "If someone else is the emperor, he may be sensitive and suspicious of the rebellion of the vassal king, but His Majesty, the miscellaneous family can guarantee that he will never think too much, because His Majesty does not like to think about these things, and the Anhua Wang Mou rebel investigation has solid evidence, it is by no means nonsense of the miscellaneous family. ”

Liu Jin really understands Zhu Houzhao's character, so he has self-confidence.

It's good to have self-confidence, but it's never a good thing to be overconfident.

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

With the official document in his arms, Liu Jin left the celebrant and hurried towards the Qianqing Palace.

He's in a good mood because he's in control.

The rumors of the Jingshi are getting stronger and stronger, whether it is the folk or the court, everyone is boiling, and they are very suspicious of Qin Kan, wait for a few more days, wait for the fire to be enough, and then launch the courtiers to strike a hard blow at him, this thorn in the flesh that has been rooted in the heart for several years can be easily pulled out, and from then on, above the Ming Dynasty, who is he Liu Jin still afraid of?

As for getting rid of Qin Kan, all the courtiers bowed down to him, how to solve the loneliness of the invincible opponent in Unei, that is a matter of the future, even if it is lonely, it is also a very happy loneliness, through the ages, the hero has no way to find Sun Zhong. Standing at the pinnacle of the world, what a lonely sigh......

…………

…………

Qin Kan was indeed in the Qianqing Palace.

Liu Jin stepped into the open space of the apse of the Qianqing Palace, and found that Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan were rolling up their sleeves in a big loss of manners, and were brushing the body of an elephant that Annan paid tribute to.

Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan were holding a long brush in their hands, the brush was dipped in soapy water, and then rubbed vigorously on the elephant's body, and the little eunuch next to him was busy carrying buckets of water to the elephant.

The elephant was not very peaceful, and seemed to feel a little strange to Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan, so he slowly turned around in place uneasily, occasionally sucking water from the bucket with his long trunk, and sprayed at Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan as if retaliating.

Liu Jin's face was gloomy for a moment, and then he quickly changed to a flattering and anxious expression, trotted a few steps in front of Zhu Houzhao, and stomped his feet lightly: "Oh, Your Majesty, how can you do such a dangerous thing if you are a golden body?" This beast is so big, if it stimulates the wild and hurts His Majesty, the old slave will not be able to die ten thousand times without a single hair of His Majesty's hair......"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, although this beast is big, the fat and simple one is very cute, it just so happens that Liu Jin is here, and you will give me a decree when you turn around, and ask the king of Annan to pay tribute to ten elephants quickly, and after the completion of my leopard house, a special place will be set up to house these elephants, and then you will send someone to Wanyi Hall to ask the envoys of Annan, what other interesting things do they have there, and the king of Annan will send them to the capital division, and I will be greatly rewarded." ”

Liu Jin hurriedly bowed down and responded: "The old slave obeys the order." ”

Straightening up, Liu Jin unconsciously glanced towards Qin Kan, but saw Qin Kan with a graceful smile, and happened to be looking at him, the two met in the air, Qin Kan's gaze was like a scabbard, and he calmly incorporated Liu Jin's edge into the sheath, not shocking Pinghu.

Liu Jin was slightly shocked. I hurriedly came to the Qianqing Palace just now to report to King Anhua for rebellion, but at this moment I hesitated.

It stands to reason that Qin Kan has already told him about this matter, looking at the appearance of His Majesty, Qin Kan has not reported to him at all, what is his idea? Besides, although there is empirical evidence for King Anhua's rebellion, he has not seen any incident, not to mention that Qin Kan is also present, and now he is talking about it...... Is it appropriate?

Hesitation, hesitation, hesitation. All kinds of thoughts flashed in Liu Jin's mind.

Qin Kan looked at him with a smile. Although Jingshi is now rumoring about him, all of which were instructed by Liu Jin, Qin Kan is still smiling as kindly as a spring breeze at this moment.

Dou Xinyan is like this, smiling in front of the face and slashing behind the knife is the basic skill. Like Zhang Yong and Liu Jin, they fought until they fought, and they inevitably fell behind. Marquis Qin would definitely not do such a boring thing.

Seeing Liu Jin's hesitant appearance. Qin Kan smiled, suddenly turned pale, and arched his hand towards Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty." The minister suddenly remembered something, and it was necessary to pay tribute to His Majesty......"

Zhu Houzhao said: "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Jin's eyes widened in vain, and then he suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two loudly, and said sharply: "Your Majesty, the old slave has something to do!" The old slave investigated the West Factory, and the King of Anhua in Gansu conspired to rebel, and now the army is about to start! ”

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback: "Uncle Anhua wants to rebel? How is this possible! ”

"Your Majesty, such a shocking event, how dare the old slave lie?"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a long time, his face was blue and red, and he muttered: "I treat the vassal king well, the vassal kings everywhere ask for money and food, and I take them all one by one, and there is no widow's kindness, why does Uncle Anhua want to oppose me?" What did I do wrong? ”

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's mood was at the bottom, Qin Kan comforted him gently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, maybe King Anhua just said a few drunken words after drinking and was listened to by someone with a heart, and after the most Lu was detected by Xichang, the situation is not as serious as imagined......"

Zhu Houzhao was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Qin Kan, has Jinyiwei ever found out the news of King Anhua's rebellion?" ”

Qin Kan smiled bitterly: "Jinyiwei is incompetent, and he hasn't heard any news about King Anhua's rebellion, so the minister is ashamed." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, turned to look at Liu Jin, and said: "You asked Xichang to investigate carefully to see if the rebellion of King Anhua is true, I want to know how many soldiers and horses, a number of ordnance, a number of horses, a number of grain hoards, and ...... How many military generals and soldiers are colluding with them on the three sides of Gan, Shaanxi and Sui, go and find out! ”

Liu Jin just opened his mouth to say that this matter was indeed true, but he saw that Zhu Houzhao's face was pale, and the specific data he needed had indeed not been found in the West Factory, so he hurriedly responded and hurriedly retreated.

Until Liu Jin left for a long time, Zhu Houzhao's face had not eased, and the big brush that he was originally holding in his hand to brush the elephant's body was also thrown aside, and he was no longer interested.

Qin Kan looked at Zhu Houzhao quietly for a long time, and suddenly arched his hand towards him: "Your Majesty is relieved, even if King Anhua is really reversed, it doesn't matter, Your Majesty is taking precautions against the enemy first, and the court soldiers are full of food, and they crush the past with the momentum of a lion fighting a rabbit, and King Anhua can be peaceful in an instant." ”

Although he was depressed and depressed, Zhu Houzhao still froze: "I ...... For a rainy day? Pre-emptive enemy? ”

Qin Kan smiled and said: "Of course, when the King of Anhua was still plotting, Gonggong Liu actually knew, wasn't it ordered by His Majesty in advance?" His Majesty is becoming more and more imperial, and the minister is congratulatory to the Daming Society. ”

Zhu Houzhao's heart sank in vain.

A feeling of uneasiness flashed through his mind in an instant, the internal and external affairs of the court and the central government were all decided by Liu Jin, when Emperor Xuanzong set up the ceremonial supervisor to assist the government, the original intention was to deal with the excessive power of the ministers at that time, the balance of the monarchy was weakened, but now the power of the ceremonial supervisor has obviously stabilized the outer court, Liu Jin did not hesitate to kill the courtiers in order to implement the new policy, Liu Jin set a precedent of playing the red and white books in the court, and when the court meeting, the ministers looked at Liu Jin more fearfully than he looked at Zhu Houzhao's gaze......

Zhu Houzhao just has no interest in court affairs, it doesn't mean that he is really mediocre, Zhu Houzhao has long known these facts, but today, thousands of miles away the vassal king is plotting rebellion, and Liu Jin is the first to know it......

Is it appropriate to hand over the great power to Liu Jin by himself?

If one day, Liu Jin's power is so great that the courtiers are afraid of him like a tiger, the world only knows Liu Gonggong but not the emperor, whether it is a cult rebellion or a rebellion by the vassal king, Liu Jin wants him to know the Tao of the Lu so that he can know the Tao, if he doesn't want him to know the Tao, where does he know? (To be continued......)
