Chapter 513: The Decisive Battle of the Golden Palace (True*II)

The emperor's guard of honor went out of the palace, and the guards of honor such as the golden gourd scepter and the flag were exempted, and only thousands of warriors from the forbidden palace were used to escort them before and after, and a group of ministers also tended to follow Zhu Houzhao Yucha, Dai Yi was close to the jade chariot, and Zhu Houzhao traveled on weekdays, Liu Jin was also standing in this position, at that time he was high-spirited and unassuming, but today's Liu Jin is rickety, old like a centenarian, and his gray face reveals a layer of white despair, and he is far away from Zhu Houzhao's jade.

Dai Yi broke such shocking news on the Golden Palace, even though Zhu Houzhao seemed to believe it or not, but the guards around him couldn't be careless, from the time Zhu Houzhao boarded the jade chariot, the guards intentionally or unintentionally separated Liu Jin, everyone pressed the knife on their waists, staring at Liu Jin with a wary face.

Liu Jin felt extremely sad, he often followed the scenery of the Son of Heaven at the beginning, and compared to the situation of being heavily guarded by the Son of Heaven today, there seemed to be a distance of thousands of miles between him and Zhu Houzhao, and it seemed impossible to catch up again.

Liu Jin, who was lost and depressed, walked very slowly, and suddenly tripped over a small pebble on the road, Liu Jin stumbled a few steps, but his legs and feet became more and more sluggish, like an old man in his last years.

Zhu Houzhao's low sigh came from the jade.

"Xuan, Liu Jin is approaching."

The guards on the left and right frowned, but they still consciously moved out of the way.

Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, happened to follow Yu Yuan, and when he heard Zhu Houzhao's summons, Old Man Zhu stroked his beard, as if unintentionally deviating from the ranks of the ministers, and took a few steps closer to the right of Yu Yuan, and a pair of seemingly cloudy old eyes squinted at Liu Jin.

Liu Jin was stunned for a moment. Immediately ecstatic, he hurriedly walked to the side of the jade chariot with broken steps, unaware of the vigilant gaze of Zhu Hui and the guards.

Liu Jin has a hunch that this moment is his best chance to survive, if he can't catch it anymore, even returning to Fengyang to guard the emperor's mausoleum will become a luxury, and nine times out of ten he will be escorted to the vegetable market and slashed.

Through the hazy bead curtain, Zhu Houzhao sat in the chariot and saw Liu Jin looking embarrassed, his eyes like an old dog about to be kicked out of the house, revealing a sad and pleading gaze. Zhu Houzhao couldn't hold back any longer. Suddenly, his eyes turned red and he burst into tears.

"Liu Jin, I once asked you a question, and today I want to ask the same thing again. …… How did you become like this? ”

Liu Jin walked slowly with Yu Yuan. While crying sadly: "Your Majesty." The old slave was in charge of ceremonial supervision and killed too much, which the old slave himself admitted, and the methods were a little more vicious. It is inevitable to offend the Chinese Wu Gongqing of the DPRK, and His Majesty, today's court meeting is a bureau set up by the ministers in partnership with the old slaves! The old slave was wronged! This is their revenge on the old slave! ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed through the bead curtain, and did not say whether he believed it or not, but said slowly: "The years in the East Palace were the most worry-free and happiest years for me, I don't have to think about anything, my father and the old ministers help me support the big things, I only need to go to Chunfang every day to deal with Mr. Yang, and then I take you and Zhang Yong and other eight people to wander around in the capital city, I am very curious about everything in the people, and often spend a lot of money to buy some things that I don't know, tired of you and Zhang Yong They work hard to carry......"

"I like rare birds and beasts, among the eight people in the East Palace, you are the one who knows my mind the most, I now have all kinds of tigers, leopards, lions and bears in the leopard room, most of them are collected by you from all over the world, I remember that after handing over the West Factory to you, you deliberately set up a Shang Bao Division in the West Factory, nearly a thousand people filled it, in order to find interesting and interesting things and rare beasts in the world for me, Liu Jin, you ...... I have a heart. ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave is the house slave under Your Majesty, all this is the old slave's business......" Liu Jin burst into tears.

In the jade chariot, Zhu Houzhao sighed faintly: "I have lived alone in the East Palace since I was a child, and I rarely see my father, the queen mother, so although I am the biological son of the queen mother, I have never had a close relationship with her, Liu Jin, you are the closest person to me except for my father, I have always regarded you as a relative, because you are the longest and most intimate with me, at this point, even Qin Kan is not as good as you, I do treat you as a relative!" Therefore, in the past two years, I have not heard the voices of countless people who have participated in your impeachment, I know that you are greedy for ink, that you have a huge amount of money in your family, that you are in power, that half of the DPRK and the Central Committee are your henchmen, and even the cabinet scholars, the military department scholars, and the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all your cronies...... Liu Jin, I don't care about these things, the difficulty of governance, the difficulty is to be effective under orders, and it is difficult to reach up and down, so I don't think it is too much to properly install cronies in important positions, because I believe that you are loyal......"

With a long sigh, Zhu Houzhao's voice was like floating from afar in the vast sea and sky, so unpredictable.

"Liu Jin, today I ordered to come to your house to see the factory guard search, this is the last opportunity I gave you, I saw it with my own eyes, no one dared to wronged you, before this, I asked you now, is it true that Dai Yi played in the palace just now? You really hid armor and weapons in the house? ”

Liu Jin felt bitter in his heart, how could he answer this? Dai Yi dared to enter the palace to perform, he must have already made arrangements, even if Zhu Houzhao went to his mansion in person now, Dai Yi and the others should have made preparations for the ceremony, just waiting for Zhu Houzhao to remove the last layer of the curtain.

Liu Jin's hesitation fell in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, but he thought that Liu Jin had really done this great rebellion without him, Zhu Houzhao in the jade chariot trembled slightly, his hands and feet were cold, and his heart was finally like ashes.

"Under the start of His Majesty, Liu Jin's private residence in Renshoufang has arrived." A Han general clenched his fists in front of him.

In front of Liu Jin's private house, there were already layers of brocade captains wearing flying fish suits, things in brown shirts and round necks, as well as Shuntian Mansion, Terracotta and other people, etc., Obviously, the major events that happened in the Golden Palace today have spread all over the capital.

Zhu Houzhao stepped out of the chariot in silence, and walked to the gate of Liu Jin's private house surrounded by guards and ministers, but Liu Jin stood numbly and motionless.

He had a hunch that this time he was out of life.

Zhu Houzhao was just about to raise his legs to enter the door, his figure suddenly froze, and he turned to look at Liu Jin not far away, and Zhu Houzhao's tears of grief flashed murderously!

"Liu Jin, if you don't live up to me, I will live up to you, if you don't live up to me,...... I swear to cut you with a thousand knives! ”

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

The servants in Liu Jin's mansion had indeed been taken down by the factory guards, and the house was empty. In the land of Jingshi Renshoufang, where every inch of land is valuable, there can be a big mansion covering an area of more than ten acres, with five entrances and five exits, which shows how monstrous Liu Jin's power is.

Zhu Houzhao walked into the house with a cold face, and in addition to the ministers and guards, there were several factory guards and detective masters of the Shuntian Mansion behind him. Zhilu Dao searched Liu's mansion, and it was indispensable to find places such as secret rooms, institutions, etc. So he gathered them together in advance.

Standing in the front yard of Liu's mansion, which covers a vast area, Zhu Houzhao looked at the sky with his hands.

The sky was gray, and a black cloud was weighing heavily on his head.

"Search!"

After a long time, Zhu Houzhao ordered lightly.

The factory guards rushed into the front hall and backyard. Carpet searches were carried out in batches. The things that were placed on the surface were quickly moved out by the factory guards.

The tribute porcelain presented to the palace by the four major kilns in the world was moved out one by one. The bottom of the box was carried out with the snow silver collected by the inner treasury official, and the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities of the past dynasties that were originally hung in the palace's halls were rolled into scrolls and bundled out......

Zhu Houzhao looked at these things expressionlessly, and there was no wave in his heart.

As he just said. Liu Jin was greedy for ink, he already knew that the people below were greedy for money, and they did not violate the real bottom line in his heart.

Standing quietly in the front yard, the ministers behind did not dare to come out, and everyone waited very patiently for the results of the search.

After waiting for about an hour, Zhu Houzhao's face gradually changed.

There are too many gold, silver and all kinds of soft treasures brought out, nearly 1,000 factory guards have become coolies, moving boxes back and forth, the boxes are full of heavy gold and silver, the vast open space in the front yard of Liu's house has been fully occupied, and the boxes are still moving outside one by one, and there is a tendency to gush.

Even Zhu Houzhao, the rich monarch of the world, couldn't help but feel shocked, how much silver does this have, now the annual income of the Ming treasury is only three or four million taels, and the annual income of the inner treasury is only one million taels of pitiful baba, but today the silver in front of Zhu Houzhao has exceeded 10 million taels, and the factory guards behind are still carrying out the boxes in an endless stream, and the money boxes have become pyramids.

Zhu Houzhao turned his head and glanced at Liu Jin angrily, and shouted in a deep voice: "There is no need to move things like gold and silver!" Keep it for now, and look for something else for me. ”

Everyone in the factory guards knelt on the ground, Dai Yi waved his hand at the detective masters, and several people came out of the crowd and searched carefully in four directions.

ponds, cloisters, gardens, and even rooftops...... A master is a master, and every unnoticeable place has not been missed, and in the waiting of everyone's thoughts, there is finally a discovery.

"Your Majesty, there are traces of burial in the woods in the backyard, please make a decision." A detective knelt on the ground and hurriedly spoke.

Zhu Houzhao's heart was cold, and he waved his hand fiercely: "Follow me to the backyard woods!" ”

The forest is not big, covers an area of nearly half an acre, there is a small pavilion and a mountain spring excavated artificially, the pavilion mountain spring, accompanied by the birds and insects in the forest, quite a bit of elegance. Although Liu Jin is a eunuch, his quality of life is very high.

Zhu Houzhao stood in the woods, surrounded by a group of ministers and nobles, and the factory guards formed a circle around an open place in the woods.

In front of Zhu Houzhao, a detective took a scoop of water and sprinkled it evenly on the open ground, and almost in the blink of an eye, the water was sucked clean by the land.

The detective nodded and affirmed: "There have been pits dug here, although the surface has been covered up, but obviously it is not good enough, otherwise it is impossible to suck the water on it so quickly, and it feels different when you step on this ground, and it looks a little soft underneath, suspicious here!" ”

Zhu Houzhao said coldly: "Dig up!" ”

The factory guards started digging together, the ministers watched the actions of the factory guards curiously, a pillar of incense passed, the pit had been dug to a depth of several feet, the iron pickaxe in the hand of a fan waved down, and suddenly there was a crisp sound, and the fan said: "There is really something below!" ”

Zhu Houzhao's face became more and more gloomy, Liu Jin's knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground as if he was unconscious, his face was as white as a dead man, and he was unconsciously swinging.

The burial is still in the chests, about hundreds. One by one, the boxes are buried deeply.

The box was opened in front of Zhu Houzhao, and the contents made everyone change color.

There are 2,000 pairs of standard armor, 500 bird guns, 500 shields, 1,000 ash spears, and 1,000 goose feather knives......

The next thing is even more shocking, the jade seal with very delicate carving, eighteen pieces of bright yellow five-clawed dragon robes, nine dragon and phoenix jade belts, and two golden winged dragon crowns. And what made Zhu Houzhao angry the most was. There are also 500 piercing plaques inside.

The so-called "wearing the palace tooth card" is the free access to the inner palace gate, as long as it is not the night palace ban gate time, holding this side of the palace tooth card can enter the deep palace. Other words. Zhu Houzhao's life is equivalent to holding Liu Jin's hands. He can take it whenever he wants.

"Huh? Your Majesty, there are mechanisms in these two things...... "Dai Yi ran over with the winged screen fans used by the emperor's honor guards, and gently twisted the handle of the fan in front of Zhu Houzhao. With one stroke, two blue daggers that were obviously quenched with poison were revealed.

Including Zhu Houzhao, everyone gasped, and everyone's faces became very ugly at the same time.

In the crowd, Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, Bi Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Wenmian and others collapsed to the ground softly, their faces as pale as paper.

It's over, it's all over!

Zhu Houzhao's handsome face was completely distorted and hideous, staring at the forbidden things in front of him, each of which exuded a cold and grim light, as if mocking his blind and naΓ―ve trust in Liu Jin over the years.

"Liu-Jinβ€”β€”!" Zhu Houzhao trembled with anger, gritted his teeth and burst out two words from between his teeth.

Liu Jin knelt down in front of him and argued angrily: "Your Majesty! This is a villain framed, the old slave is innocent, and the old slave is wronged! Or is that sentence, the old slave eunuch also, where is the reason to rebel? Your Majesty, open your eyes......"

"Take Liu Jin down! Imprisoned...... No, go to the inner prison of the Division! Zhu Houzhao's face was flushed and he roared.

All Liu Jin's henchmen among the ministers were colorless and pale, and Jiao Fang, who was nearly eighty years old, rolled his old eyes and fainted on the spot.

Two burly Dongchang fans stepped forward and grabbed Liu Jin's arm, one left and one right, and dragged him away.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is wronged! The old slave has no two hearts, and the old slave will not turn a blind eyeβ€”"

Zhu Houzhao pointed to Liu Jin's back as he walked away, and roared: "I didn't bear you, how can you bear me!" How to bear with me! ”

Until Liu Jin was taken away, the poignant cry of grievances still echoed in the air.

Zhu Houzhao blushed his face and looked at the various contraband things in front of him again, his heart seemed to have been pierced by a needle ten thousand times, and the pain was deep to the bone.

"Go back to the palace!" Zhu Houzhao turned his head and left.

suddenly remembered what Liu Jin had just said, and Zhu Houzhao's footsteps couldn't help but pause.

Liu Jin's argument is not unreasonable, he is a eunuch who has no heirs, where does he have a reason to rebel? How could the people of the world let a eunuch be the emperor?

As soon as doubts flashed through his mind, Dai Yi seemed to see what Zhu Houzhao was thinking, hunched over and smiled in front of him: "Your Majesty, Liu Jin's rebellion has been planned for a long time, about from the first day he was in charge of the celebrant eunuch, the slave maid learned four months ago that Liu Jin's mansion may be hiding something rebellious, and has secretly investigated the matter, it turns out that although Liu Jin is a eunuch, he also has a brother, named Liu Jingxiang, who is the governor of the left army and the right governor, this person has no talent and no virtue, but Liu Jin also has a nephew of Gongsheng who is studying in the country, named Liu Erhan, Although the name is rude, but the life is really good, the slave sent someone to Liu Jin's hometown Xingping, Shaanxi Province to inquire, when Liu Jin had invited a fortune teller to tell the fortune of his nephew Liu Erhan, the fortune teller was surprised after the calculation, and said that Liu Erhan 'returned to the clouds and fell blue, and buried the cangwu. Late Yu Yao Calendar, Turtle New Enlightenment Summer Picture '......"

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Dai Yi smiled contemptuously and said: "Of course, it means that this Liu Erhan has the appearance of Ziwei, and he is serious about being the emperor's life, Liu Jin was happy when he heard it, as early as the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, he took the door to get Liu Erhan into the Guozijian as a tribute, and from then on he was regarded as a treasure in the palm of his hand, to get the wind and the rain, then Liu Erhan relied on Liu Jin's spoiling, and he has been arrogant and domineering in Beijing in the past few years...... Your Majesty, the slave maid has secretly taken Liu Jingxiang and Liu Erhan into the edict yesterday, and took the confessions drawn by these two people, Liu Jin's rebellion is obviously not groundless, do you want to see the confessions, or personally interrogate them? ”

Zhu Houzhao's face twitched a few times, and he sighed when he looked up to the sky.

Well, everything can be explained, Zhu Houzhao found for the first time that the hearts of people in the world were so dirty......

"No need, the factory guard will continue to investigate this case, the criminal department, the metropolitan procuratorate, and the three divisions of Dali Temple will be tried, and the relevant party members should be arrested and imprisoned!"
