A battle for the cake of power distribution ended in a few words, and there was no sword and sword, but the words were like experiencing a duel.

Liu Jin was defeated.

One of the celebrant supervisors watched Qin Kan take it.

Looking at the backs of Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan walking out of the hall intimately, Liu Jin's eyes became more and more gloomy.

Until the two of them disappeared, Liu Jin suddenly turned his head and glared at Zhang Yong angrily, and shouted: "Zhang Yong! You eat things inside and outside, what benefits did Qin Kan give you, let you turn your elbows outward, instead of helping the miscellaneous family to take charge of the inner palace, but helping outsiders bully the miscellaneous family, did you take the wrong medicine? ”

Zhang Yonghehe sneered: "Gonggong Liu is in charge of the celebrant supervisor, and his nostrils are facing the sky, how can you remember that we, the old brothers who came out of the East Palace, have eaten all the meat from you, and I haven't seen you leave a few mouthfuls of soup for the old brothers, look at Gu Dayong, Luo Xiang, Qiu Ju, so far they are just powerless and powerless servants around His Majesty, although Ma Yongcheng is now in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, it is also a matter of great effort to ask for it from His Majesty, if it is not for Qin Kan to help say the palm print, when will it be my turn?" You Liu Jin are now developed, when have you ever cared about the future of our old brothers? Today, I'm embarrassed to say that I eat inside and out, Liu Jin, do you really think that if you become the master of ceremonies, the miscellaneous family will have to look up to you? ”

Liu Jin became more and more angry, and was about to shout and scold, but saw that the rest of the Seven Tiger Valley, Qiu Ju, Luo Xiang, Gao Feng and others showed embarrassment, although accompanied by a smile, but the smile was already a little cold, it seems that Zhang Yong's words are in their hearts, but because of Liu Jin's current power, it is inconvenient to openly turn his face with him.

Liu Jin was stunned for a moment, his face turned purple, and he pointed at the Seven Tigers and said angrily: "It's only been a few days since the palm print of the master of ceremonies of the miscellaneous family has been made? The miscellaneous family is not sitting firmly in their seats now, and they are busy sorting out the mess in the celebrant supervisor every day, where can they have the time to take care of the old brothers? Everyone has been serving His Majesty in the East Palace for more than ten years, and they have been waiting for ten years, so they can't wait for these few days? When the miscellaneous family sits on their seats, how many old brothers are still afraid that none of them will have a bright future? Zhang Yong, you are clearly provoking the feelings of the miscellaneous family and the old brothers! ”

Zhang Yong sneered: "When the seat under your ass is secured, a few of our old brothers want to catch up, the celebrant and the eunuch, the imperial horse supervisor, the internal affairs office, the internal official supervisor, the Dongchang, these positions are waiting for you to arrange us, how many are left?" When you remember us, you have sent us to the Huanyi Bureau, right? ”

Liu Jin froze, and suddenly became angry.

Because Zhang Yong is not wrong, Liu Jin really thinks so, the Eight Tigers have served Zhu Houzhao together for nearly ten years, and Liu Jin is a snob who flatters the superior and the subordinate fiercely, so the contradictions accumulated by the Eight Tigers in the past ten years have been quite sharp, but they have not openly torn their faces.

Stomping his feet hard, Liu Jin was pierced by Zhang Yong's mind, and finally tore his face, screaming: "Zhang Yong, you bastard Wang Ba!" Did the miscellaneous family dig up your ancestral grave? Arrange me like this for no reason! ”

Saying that, Liu Jin raised his old fist and punched Zhang Yong's face.

Zhang Yongha smiled, pulled Liu Jin's fist lightly, and then raised his fist and hit Liu Jin's eye socket hard, Liu Jin screamed, kicked back a few steps, and there was a circle of jet black on his left eye socket.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Dayong and the others rushed up one after another, pulling the two people in the fight apart.

Liu Jin covered his eyes, glared at Zhang Yong with a vicious face, and pointed at him tremblingly: "Okay, good!" Zhang Yong, today's boxing miscellaneous family has written down, the mountains don't turn around, none of us can get out of the palace gate, we'll see in the future! ”…,

With a flick of his sleeves, Liu Jin left the Qianqing Palace angrily.

Zhang Yong sneered and moved his wrist, snorted at Liu Jin's back, and said, "The castration of the children and grandchildren, if you say a cruel word, you will not be afraid?" Fall back into the hands of the miscellaneous family, and castrate you again! ”

The six tigers on the side looked embarrassed, among them, Luo Xiang, Ma Yongcheng and Wei Bin rolled their eyes, quietly withdrew from the hall, and Sa Yazi chased after Liu Jin.

The warbler flies and the grass grows on the side of the official road outside the city, and a few empty birdsong like heaven come from time to time in the empty valley and secluded forest on the side of the official road.

In the ten-mile long pavilion, a group of officials in civilian clothes looked gloomy, and surrounded Liu Jian Xie Qian, who had told the old man and was about to leave Beijing and return to his hometown, in the middle, and the crowd of farewell included his former friend and ally Li Dongyang.

After drinking glass after glass of wine before leaving, Liu Jian and Xie Qian's faces were already a little ruddy, and they were slightly shaky when they walked.

"Thank you colleagues for the old man's food, now the court is treacherous, the traitor is in power, you wait for today's food, I'm afraid it will be bad for your future, the old man is grateful, you go back, the court...... Alas, I hope that Your Majesty will do it yourself, and I hope that your colleagues will do it yourself. Liu Jian raised his head and drank the last glass of wine, and said with a desolate expression.

Wei Shen, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, is a native of Shandong, a typical straightforward and fast-talking, and when he heard the words, he took a step forward, and said in a choked voice: "The Ming Dynasty is not far away, the prosperous era is in front, only one step away, just waiting for Liu Gong and Xie Gong to lead us to work hard for the community for another ten years, and create more well-being for the people, how can I expect the drastic changes in the court, the great cause of Zhongxing created in more than ten years has fallen short, and the traitors in the DPRK and China are in power, seeing that the country will not be a country, Liu Gong, Xie Gong, how can the two of them bear to leave behind this prosperous foundation, how can they bear to leave us and other loyal ministers of the society to go alone? ”

Liu Jian looked up to the sky and sighed: "Once the Son of Heaven is a courtier, the time is also, the power is also, it is not that the old man is unwilling to serve the king, but the Son of Heaven has thought that we are too old to be driven, it is better to go back, it is better than being killed by a traitor and having no place to be buried." ”

Xie Qian, who had been silent, glanced coldly at Li Dongyang, who was silent, and suddenly sneered: "Although the two of us have been driven out of the court by the Son of Heaven, it is better than some guys who have read the books of sages all their lives but don't know what integrity is. ”

The officials who saw them off were silent, but none of them spoke, and everyone looked at Li Dongyang, who looked indifferent.

The meaning of Xie Qian's words was already very straightforward, and his words were clearly aimed at Li Dongyang, the only scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion who did not submit his resignation.

The three elders of the Ming Cabinet have been like a monolith for more than ten years, advancing and retreating, but at the last moment, Liu Jian and Xie Qian were forced to retreat, but Li Dongyang did not say anything, Liu Jian and Xie Qian finally had a lot of resentment towards Li Dongyang.

The cabinet has supported each other for a lifetime, and after this storm, there is finally an irreparable rift between the three scholars.

Li Dongyang's expression was calm, and he was not annoyed or angry after listening to Xie Qian's words, but he smiled faintly, stroked his long beard and said: "Luoyang relatives and friends ask each other, and a piece of ice is in the jade pot." ”

A poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Changling has included all the words that Li Dongyang wanted to say.

Liu Jian and Xie Qian were stunned when they heard this, and their expressions gradually became complicated, not only resentful and resentful, but also a little sad and suspicious.

After a moment of silence, Xie Qian sighed for a long time: "Xiya Mo blames the old man for hurting people, there is really a lot of anger in his heart, I hope you stay in the court for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and endure humiliation, instead of coveting power." ”

Li Dongyang smiled calmly and said: "The old man is loyal or traitorous, it can be seen after a few years, you two old guys are tough, you can't die within a few years, and after a few years, the old man tells the old man, first find your hometown, and conspire with you to get drunk!" ”…,

Liu Jian and Xie Qian finally smiled and nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll bury the high-grade flower carving, and I'll wait for you to come in a few years." ”

Seeing off so far, it was not early, Liu Jian and Xie Qian bowed goodbye to their colleagues, and then looked back in the direction of Jingshi, with tears in their eyes, and suddenly knelt down in front of Jingshi at the same time.

Liu Jian choked up and said: "Thirty merits, fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons, Your Majesty is ...... Your Majesty! This glorious Ming Dynasty is the first emperor and the old ministers and others spent nearly 20 years of painstaking creation, Your Majesty, please cherish, please treat it kindly! ”

While speaking, the two old ministers were already crying, and the officials who saw them off beside them were all sad and sad.

After knocking three times in the direction of the palace, Liu Jian and Xie Qian stood up with each other's arms, waved at the officials, and threw a deep glance at Li Dongyang, and then boarded their own carriages and walked away.

Until the carriage disappeared at the end of the official road, the officials glanced at Li Dongyang carefully, and dispersed after saying hello.

Li Dongyang stared blankly at the end of the official road, his face, which had always been calm and indifferent, slowly shed two lines of muddy old tears.

What qualifications do people have to judge the merits and demerits of today? A hundred years later, the world will finally give him a fair judgment.

"How can I, Li Dongyang, be greedy for power and not go to the stack? Gong Liu, Gong Xie, you are underestimating me too much! I'm just trying to keep our twenty years of hard work! You guys...... Look down on me too much! ”

There was no one around, Li Dongyang finally covered his face, tears poured out from between his fingers, and he who had been scolded and attacked by the ministers of the court for several days, finally couldn't help but defend himself.

In the secluded forest next to the official road, a long sigh suddenly came: "Li Gong is high-spirited and bright, maybe others don't understand, but the lower officials do, Li Gong, you have been wronged." ”

Li Dongyang was stunned, turned his head and shouted, "Who is it?" ”

In the forest, Qin Kan's gentle and elegant face slowly appeared in front of him. (To be continued.)
