No matter how the Beijing officials make waves, they will finally control the turmoil in the Jingshi City, from entering the court to the present, there are too many recitals to impeach Qin Kan openly and secretly, if the cabinet and the celebrant of the treasury specifically pick out the impeachment of him, let alone build a hill, the crimes in the recital are as big as the misfortune of the country and the king, and as small as the crooked belt in the early dynasty, the large and small crimes add up to no less than a thousand, and the money is justified and well-founded, and the literary style is flying.

Qin Kan has not been very concerned about the impeachment of Qin Kan within the scope of the Beijing Division, because the water in the Beijing Dynasty is too muddy, and it is not too difficult to get out, Qin Kan has been in the court for many years, and there are always a few civil and official allies, let them stir up a few times in it, and make the water more muddy.

However, once the matter spreads to the local government and the guard, the nature is serious, even though Qin Kan is in power, but the influence is only in Beijing after all, which is similar to Zhu Houzhao's imperial power, the order out of the imperial court, the local obedience is only the imperial court, the identity of the emperor is only a part of the imperial court for the local government, so since ancient times, there is a saying that "the emperor is far away".

Qin Kan's identity as the commander of the Jinyi Guard was the same, so when the impeachment of the local government seemed to have been agreed upon and poured into the capital at the same time, Qin Kan immediately sensed the seriousness of the situation, and he knew that the moment of seeing the poor dagger was coming.

The night before the first big court meeting of the new year, Ding Shun, who went to the coast of Zhejiang, finally rushed back to Beijing, and at midnight, the side door of the Qin Mansion quietly opened a crack, and Ding Shun rushed in like an agile swimming fish. No one knew what Qin Kan and his most trusted subordinate had said. An hour later, Ding Shun left the Qin Mansion in a murderous manner.

…………

…………

At three o'clock in the ugly hour, a large group of officials and nobles gathered in front of the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial Palace, the first great meeting of the new year is about to begin, the square that should be jubilant and worship each other for the New Year is silent today, many people look up impatiently at the direction of the stars to calculate the hour, waiting for the bell and drum tower to ring the bell, in silence, murderous sky, just like a butcher's party. Everyone sharpens their knives in their hearts. Grit your teeth and wait for the arrival of pigs and sheep.

Everyone's expressions were very solemn, they knew how terrible the enemy they had to face today was, and how invincible Liu Jin was when he covered the sky with one hand, but after all, he was quietly calculated by this low-key prince who was not visible. Not only downfall. There are no dead bodies.

A dog has his day. There are no eternal friends in the court, and the allies who led everyone to eliminate the traitors have become the target of everyone's punishment today. And this vicious enemy with a vicious face is far more difficult to deal with than Liu Jin.

No matter how difficult it is, we have to deal with it, everyone's bottom line has always been clear, they can allow a powerful person to participate in their game, but they will never allow this person to use his power to undermine the rules that have been set for a long time, once he challenges the rules, what he has to face is the desperate counterattack of the entire interest group.

Chengtianmen Square, where thousands of people gathered, was silent, like a silent volcano, hot and magma in the silence, about to erupt and destroy the world.

In the crowd, Cao Yuan, the left attendant of the military department, slowly paced back and forth calmly, holding a short beard in one hand and carrying the other behind him, but the majestic appearance of a court official, passing by the courtiers and exchanging a knowing look with each other. After pacing back and forth in the square for a few steps, the brows of many people, including Cao Yuan, gradually furrowed.

Something is wrong, today is the New Year's court, and according to the system, all officials in Beijing must participate, but why are there dozens of officials in the Imperial History and the Six Ministries of Supervision of the Imperial History and the Six Ministries of Justice? These people are the main force in today's court struggle, without them, do you want Cao Yuan to go up and sing a one-man show by himself?

The sky was still dark, and there were four crisp sounds from the cloud board in the palace gate, and it was time to arrive.

I don't know when a thick fog rose around the square, and on a cold day in early spring, the weather of dense fog was really rare, and in the crowd where the ministers gathered, there were people who were proficient in easy counting, and their fingers shrunk in the sleeves of their robes were pinched, and then their expressions were shocked, and their faces became more and more ugly.

In the thick fog, an official sedan chair came slowly, and the sedan chair fell off the edge of the square, the sedan curtain was opened, and Qin Kan, who was wearing a python robe and a jade belt around his waist, walked out of the sedan chair, his face always had a gentle and harmless smile, as if he was a monk who had attained the Tao, and all the favors and humiliations in the world were forgotten, and he was not alarmed.

In the morning mist, Qin Kan appeared in front of everyone with firm steps, the smile on his face was the same as always, and he would never compromise.

There was a silence that was more silent than death, everyone stared at him, the smile like a warm spring breeze looked so mysterious, but the truth behind the smile was hidden in a thick fog, impossible to guess.

"Happy New Year, everyone......"

Qin Kan smiled and bowed his hand to everyone, without the slightest fireworks, elegant and personable, more gentlemanly than a gentleman.

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

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Zhang Yongzheng, the master of ceremonies, personally changed the dragon robe for Zhu Houzhao, which should have been the work of the personal attendant, but the father-in-law of the celebrant Zhang intervened, how could the little eunuch dare to say half a word? I can only obediently step aside.

Zhang Yong's movements are not as rough as his appearance, but as gentle as a lady waiting for words, his big hands are warm and dry, occasionally brushing Zhu Houzhao's face, there is a warm sense of comfort.

Zhu Houzhao in the bronze mirror has red lips and white teeth, and his demeanor is graceful, just a good skin of a young man, but in the mirror today, there is a little sadness between his eyebrows.

Standing quietly in front of the human-high bronze mirror, Ren Zhang Yong was busy working in front of and behind him, and suddenly Zhu Houzhao sighed heavily, and said: "Zhang Yong, this level is not easy today, I have heard the rumors, and those guys in the outer court are afraid that they are going to put Qin Kan to death today......

Zhang Yong, who is now in a high position, still has a sycophantic look in front of Zhu Houzhao, with a bit of rigidity in his flattery, he controls his expression freely, and he knows that Zhu Houzhao is good at this.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, taking care of the dragon's body is the most important, Grandpa Qin's face is ruddy, the sky is round, no matter how you look at it, the old slave doesn't think he is like a short-lived person, Grandpa Qin is auspicious, God will help him get through all the difficulties."

Zhu Houzhao sighed: "You say these words to relieve my heart, today's court meeting is not ordinary, I can smell the murderous aura of the Manchu ministers from all over the imperial city, they are not good......"

Zhang Yong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Grandpa Qin is also an old minister of our East Palace, when Your Majesty was still the prince, the old slave had a great relationship with him, although the old slave is a eunuch, but he is not a brother is better than a brother, now Grandpa Qin is in trouble, how can the old slave stand by?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was greatly relieved when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Yong's gaze with a little more gratitude, Zhang Yong's heart was shocked, and he had a deeper understanding of Qin Kan's status in Zhu Houzhao's heart, thinking about Dai Yi's words to himself a few days ago, he couldn't help but be glad in his heart.

Dai Yi's guy is really right, standing on Qin Kan's side at this time, he will definitely be able to please His Majesty, and the issue of standing in line is really important, even if he can't save Qin Kan this time, but in His Majesty's heart, he has already added a lot of points, and it is simply a good deal with no losses......

"Zhang Yong, you said you didn't want to sit idly by, but what did you do for Qin Kan?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

Zhang Yong suddenly showed a slightly exaggerated expression of embarrassment, hesitated for a long time, and suddenly took two steps back, knelt in front of Zhu Houzhao and kowtowed three times, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive the old slave for the crime of being arbitrary, the old slave did a wrong thing, and he really deserves death......

"What did you do?"

"Old slave...... The old slave couldn't see those civil officials bullying Grandpa Qin with their large numbers, so he handed a note to Dai Yi in Dongchang last night, looking for a charge of 'slandering the king', and all the twenty-four superintendents of the imperial history who were discussing in Chen Hong's mansion last night in the ministry were ...... Please all go to prison......" Zhang Yong paused, then slammed his head on the ground, and said loudly like the shopkeeper in the restaurant: "The old slave has not acted well, and he has failed to do anything, so I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness-"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, looking at the bronze mirror with a flurry of words, the dim palace lamp in the bronze mirror reflected the figure of Zhang Yongfu pleading guilty behind him, Zhu Houzhao stared at the bronze mirror stupidly for a long time, suddenly sneered, and then the laughter became louder and louder, leaning forward and backward uncontrollably, and the last one simply bent down, holding his stomach and laughing wildly.

Zhang Yong had a look of guilt and remorse on his face, but he was very proud in his heart, he knew that he had bet on the right treasure, even if he did something out of line, as long as the motive for acting was on Qin Kan's side, His Majesty would definitely not blame him.

As for the supervising imperial history who were taken into the edict, take it, anyway, this matter is Dongchang came forward, and after waiting for today's fateful pass, whether Qin Kan can be saved or not, and then release them tomorrow is that he has done enough in front of His Majesty, whether he can save Qin Kan or let go of those imperial histories has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Zhu Houzhao laughed for a while, laughing so much that tears splashed, and after a long time, he held his stomach and screamed, wiping his tears while laughing: "Zhang Yong, Zhang Yong, why did I never know that you were so yin before?" I'm afraid I'm too familiar with Qin Kan's guy, all these bad things are learned from him, right? ”

Zhang Yong laughed with him, hunched his waist and slapped himself lightly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right, the old slave also thinks that he used to be a decent person, but he doesn't know when he did such a useless thing, don't worry about those royal historians, wait for the old slave to release them after today, presumably Grandpa Qin will have saved the day tomorrow." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "You did a good job, if the ministers impeach you, I will help you stop it, but ...... You're messing around with this more than me, so don't make an example. ”

"Old slave Xie Majesty Longen—"
