Chapter 522: Candidates for Counterinsurgency
It rained heavily for three days, and the water in the moat of the capital division rose by three feet, and the Ministry of Industry had to send officials, craftsmen, and people to strengthen the embankment overnight.
The purge of the court has not yet ended, when Liu Jin was at the peak of his glory, the henchmen who clinged to him accounted for almost half of the court, and these people were undoubtedly on the blacklist of the factory guards.
Compared with the purge of the court, Dai Yi and Gu Dayong's purge of the palace is much more cruel, and the ministers of the foreign court, Dai Yi and Gu Dayong may have to take care of the face of the cabinet and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and dare not implicate too widely, let alone offend the ministers of the foreign court too much. However, for the leaderless eunuchs in the palace, Dai Yi and Gu Dayong seemed to vent all the grievances they had suffered in the past two years on them, and within a few days, all the big eunuchs and eunuchs related to Liu Jin were all taken, and the torture suffered after being imprisoned was even more miserable, and the eunuchs in the palace were implicated in Liu Jin's case as many as more than 2,000 people, except for a very small number of people who used their life savings or relationships to escape their lives and were driven to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum, the rest were all tortured and died.
It rained for three days in a row, but the smell of blood at the mouth of the vegetable market was still not eliminated, on the ground of the execution stone platform made of pebbles, a trace of dark red blood stains were washed away by the rain, and the officials and people were shocked to detour through this place, just because there were rumors in the market, saying that Liu Jin was a fierce god who went down to earth, and after his death, he would turn into a fierce ghost to ask for his life, and in order to take revenge on the world, the Ming Dynasty would continue to fight in the next ten years, and the military disasters would be raging, which was the price that must be paid to send away this fierce god......
Marquis of San'in.
Qin Kan looked at the gloomy gray sky, a contemptuous sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Fierce gods descend to earth? Revenge on the world? I think so much of Liu Jin. When this dead eunuch was alive, he was just holding his thighs and doing evil, a standard villain, did he have such a great ability after death? ”
Ding Shun on the side was obviously much more angry, with a humiliated expression as if he had been robbed of a senior title: "That's it, the title of the fierce god is obviously Hou Ye, why did he give Liu Jin again?" It's just too deceitful! How can there be so many fierce gods in the world......"
Qin Kan glanced at him: "Ding Shun, you're obviously not praising me, right?" The big husband stands in the world, what should be fought for must be fought for, and those who should not be fought for should not stretch out their hands, the title of fierce god belongs to the scope that should not be fought for. Don't take all the mess on yourself like you're collecting rags. ”
Ding Shun smiled dryly: "Yes, yes, yes." The subordinate is wrong......"
After a pause, Ding Shun said again: "Master Hou, Liu Jin is dead, and he was chopped alive for three days. A total of 3,357 knives were cut before he died. This old gelding is really ruthless. is ruthless to others, and is also cruel to himself, and it is said that when he was dying, he twisted his head and looked in the direction of the leopard room. He was still waiting for the pardon decree from His Majesty, and he didn't give up until he realized that he had only the deputy skeleton left to live, and said a word before he died, and only the nearest executioner heard it......"
Qin Kan frowned deeply and said, "What did he say?" ”
Ding Shun licked his dry lips and said, "He said, 'You are all wrong, I have a traitor, but it is definitely me, the traitor has someone else......"
"What does Liu Jin mean by this?"
Ding Shun smiled contemptuously: "Who knows, maybe it hurts too much, let's talk nonsense." Judging from his subordinates, Liu Jin is not wrong, the civil officials in the court really don't have a few good things, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a big traitor who will harm the country. ”
Qin Kan shook his head and sighed: "That's it, people die like lights go out, grievances and grievances are gone, so I got acquainted with Liu Jin, you go and collect his bones, and build a simple grave for him......"
Ding Shun smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, Liu Jin's bones are not easy to collect...... In the three days he was chopped, he cut off more than 3,000 pieces of meat, all of which were bought by the officials and people of Beijing for money......"
Qin Kan was stunned: "What are they buying Liu Jin's meat for?" ”
"Liu Jin has harmed too many people, has formed too many grudges, when he was in power, the people of the world did not dare to do anything with him, once he lost power and was punished, I don't know how many people in the world are waiting to eat his flesh, his subordinates really didn't expect that the people hated a person to such a degree, at that time, countless people in the court in front of Liu Jin, who still had a breath left, fought for the meat they cut off and bought it, that scene was really shocking......"
Qin Kan was stunned for a long time, and then said with a wry smile: "That's it, the cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant, this is the end that Liu Jin deserves, and it can be regarded as repaying a little bit of the sin of this life." ”
Seeing that Qin Kan's mood was not very high, Ding Shun hesitated for a long time, and he still had to report it.
"Hou Ye, Bazhou Tang Zihe and Zhang Mao's anti-army momentum is getting bigger and bigger, after occupying Bazhou ten days ago, Tang Zihe immediately waved his troops eastward, and occupied Hejian Mansion, the army pointed directly at Zhending, His Majesty and the cabinet were very angry, after the cabinet meeting, it was decided to transfer the deputy commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, and Xu Tai, the champion of Jiazi Kewu in the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, led the troops to quell the rebellion......"
Qin Kan's face became more and more gloomy, this woman was getting more and more excessive, what kind of thoughts did she have? Do you really want to enter the capital and become a female emperor?
Ding Shun looked at Qin Kan's gloomy face, and said cautiously: "Hou Ye, from the perspective of his subordinates, the rebellion in Bazhou still needs Hou Ye to personally lead the troops to pacify, Tang Zihe's methods we have all seen when we were in Tianjin, it is estimated that Xu Tai may not be her opponent, only Hou Ye can deal with her in the world, but his subordinates can't figure it out, why only a deputy chief soldier of Xuanfu was sent to lead the troops after the cabinet meeting......"
Qin Kan sighed: "The imperial court has the consideration of the imperial court, most of the candidates for counterinsurgency are Li Dongyang's proposals, the recent purge of the Beijing Imperial Court, it is the time when the people are panicked, what will happen if the people are not even, at this time a person who can control the factory guard is in charge, not only to achieve the purpose of purging, but also not to let the factory guard expand the situation and cause widespread involvement, Hu Weiyong in Hongwu Nian, Lan Yu two cases are a lesson from the past, so I can't go out of Beijing during this time, the two scholars in the cabinet probably think so." ”
"Master Hou, with all due respect to his subordinates, Li Dongyang really treats you as a fierce god......"
******************************************************************
Since the cabinet has decided on the candidate for counterinsurgency, Qin Kan naturally can't say anything, and he has no interest in counterinsurgency, let alone what kind of mentality to face Tang Zihe.
Liu Jin died, Qin Kan's mind gradually shifted to planning for the future, in the past few years, he has fought with different enemies and used different means, in the final analysis, Qin Kan just wants to clear the obstacles for his ambitions, and in the future, he will be able to have fewer constraints and more chances of winning.
While discussing with Ding Shun whether to set up two more Jinyi Wei Qianhu in Liaodong to spy on the military situation of the northern Tartars and the loyalty of various tribes to the Golden Family Khan Boyan Mengke, Tang Yin's expression floated out like a wisp of ghost, and quietly appeared behind Qin Kan and Ding Shun......
"I met a woman......"
The vain words were like a yin wind blowing out of the Nine Netherworld Mansion, Qin Kan was so frightened that his feet softened, and Ding Shun drew his sword like lightning without saying a word......
"Stop!" Qin Kan shouted loudly, and Ding Shun's knife stopped two inches from Tang Yin's head.
After Ding Shun saw that the person behind him was Tang Yin, he didn't care that he was a close friend of the Hou Ye, he stayed for a moment with a frightened face, and then became furious: "Are you a sour scholar?" Dare to be scary behind the Hou Ye, I think my life is long, and I will give you a ride! ”
Qin Kan was frightened by Tang Yin for a moment, his face was also a little pale, he looked Tang Yin up and down with a belly of fire, and said coldly: "How did you come out just now?" Walking silently, did you float out? ”
Tang Yin glanced at his feet blankly, glanced at Qin Kan with an idiot-like gaze, and said, "Of course I came out, I have legs and feet, why do I want to float?" ”
"Ding Shun......" Qin Kan glanced at Ding Shun.
Ding Shun understood, rudely pulled Tang Yin into the courtyard outside the front hall, looked carefully at his feet, and rudely pulled him back in front of Qin Kan.
"Master Hou, my subordinates have seen it, there is a shadow, not a ghost."
Qin Kan immediately made the appearance of having just seen Tang Yin, and said with a smile: "It turned out that Brother Bohu was here, Brother Bohu came out silently, I thought you had been killed, and the unjust soul floated to me to complain......"
Tang Yin's ethereal expression showed a thoughtful expression on his face, and after thinking about it for a long time, he looked at Qin Kan with certainty: "...... It's not a good word. ”
"Brother Bohu is too careful, what was the first thing you just came out of to say?"
Tang Yin looked like he was in a state of desperation again, and said, "I met a woman ......"
"She taught you to walk?"
"No, I met a woman who made me feel tempted......"
"Which Oiran girl from the Qinglou?" Qin Kan asked with a smile, and then his expression was full of vigilance: "You don't want to ask me to borrow silver to redeem her, do you?" Brother Bohu, it hurts feelings when friends talk about money......"
"No, she's a woman from a good family......"
Qin Kan suddenly said: "Congratulations to Brother Tang for finding the second spring of his life, so Brother Bohu is here to send me a wedding card today?" ”
Tang Yin said bitterly: "She hasn't looked at me from beginning to end, where did the wedding card come from?" ”
Qin Kan obviously couldn't keep up with Tang Yin's thinking, and said tentatively for a long time: "So, you came to me today to ......"
Tang Yin's disgraced gaze suddenly became scorching: "I heard that Brother Qin Xian has a way to deal with women, Brother Fool came to ask for help, please ask Brother Xian to help me get close to that woman, so that she has a good impression of me, and gradually fall in love, and finally nodded and agreed to marry me, everything has Brother Lao Xian, I will wait for you in the cave room......"
Qin Kan and Ding Shun were dumbfounded: "............"
Qin Kan suddenly summed up the lesson of the failure of the last marriage for Tang Yin, not only being poor, but also being cheap is also a reason that cannot be ignored......
