Although Zhu Houzhao is said to be the most noble emperor in the world, his age is only seventeen years old after all, compared with his mind and experience, Qin Kan, who has lived two lives and experienced countless intrigues, is inevitably too far behind.

He only said these things to his friends.

It's a pity that Zhu Houzhao, a friend, doesn't know too much, and at this time he was immersed in deep grief and indignation at Liu Jin's betrayal, and he didn't carefully taste Qin Kan's words at all.

There is wine on the table, the wine is still warm, and the daughter of the good man is red.

Zhu Houzhao carried the wine jug in his hand, and he didn't use a cup, he poured two sips around the spout, choked on it too quickly, and coughed loudly.

Qin Kan helplessly patted him on the back.

Zhu Houzhao coughed for a while and relieved himself, the wine jug slammed on the table, and cried: "I can be said to dig out my heart and lungs to Liu Jin, I have never doubted each other over the years, he wants a position of power, I let him be the master of ceremonies, and hand over the whole world to him, he likes silver, so many officials and imperial historians in front of me to impeach him for greedy ink, enclosure of land, and bribery, I have always turned a blind eye and never punished him, but Qin Kan, you say, why did Liu Jin rebel?" What did I do to dissatisfy him, and I wanted to seek the inheritance left to me by my ancestors! ”

Qin Kan sighed: "Your Majesty, your fault is that you are too good to him, there are hundreds of faces in the world, a thousand temperaments, poor people are content with a bucket of rice and a penny of silver, and there is no luxury, they cherish what they get, and some people are greedy by nature, the more they get, the more they are not satisfied, they have to look forward to Shu, and their desires are difficult to fill......"

"Liu Jin is this kind of person?" Zhu Houzhao gradually stopped crying.

"Your Majesty has seen it with your own eyes. Why should the minister say more? ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed sadly: "When I was in the East Palace, Liu Jin took care of me in every way, and he handled my daily life, and I was taken care of properly at that time, and even a few times when I got up at night, Liu Jin was holding on to the door of my dormitory...... Seriously, even my father has never been so close to me. ”

Qin Kan sighed silently.

Success is not accidental, and success is not accidental. Liu Jin can climb to such a position in this life. Others only saw how he flew after gaining power, but no one thought about what price Liu Jin paid before he gained power, and he exchanged his life's humility for today's scenery. However, this scenery only lasted for two years. Now he is in prison. Lives are not guaranteed.

If he had known that there was today, would he have exchanged his life's humility for the glory of these two years?

"Your Majesty, now Liu Jin. is no longer the Liu Jin of the East Palace in the past, the power given to him by His Majesty has made him a completely different person inside and out, and he may be able to secretly enjoy the filial piety of a dozen taels of silver sent by the eunuchs below for a whole day, but today, what he covets is the country under His Majesty, His Majesty, today's Liu Jin, you can completely treat him as a stranger who has nothing to do with you, or even an enemy. ”

Zhu Houzhao poured another sip of wine and sighed sadly: "Today, thousands of armor, weapons and bird guns were found in Liu Jin's mansion, I was puzzled at first, thinking that someone framed Liu Jin, after all, there is no queen eunuch, how can Liu Jin have a reason to rebel?" Later, Li Dongyang persuaded me not to forget the rebellion of the eunuch Cao Jixiang during the Yingzong period, the eunuch dared to enter the palace with hundreds of servants and thousands of forbidden palace warriors in his family to kill Emperor Yingzong and wanted to usurp the throne, what Cao Jixiang did, Liu Jin naturally did ......"

Qin Kan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

Can Cao Jixiang's glorious deeds be compared with Liu Jin? People were suspicious of Emperor Yingzong, the emperor's butcher's knife was almost up to his neck, and he was forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, and gathered a group of family members and bribed forbidden palace warriors to break into the palace and kill Emperor Yingzong. Liu Jin has never been directly in charge of the military, and besides, how can the Holy Family rebel rebel?

However, Qin Kan also understood what Li Dongyang meant when he said these words, not only Qin Kan was worried, but even those ministers of the outer court were worried that Zhu Houzhao would suddenly relented and pardoned Liu Jin, Liu Jin would not die, the damned ones were those ministers of the outer court, and at the moment of life and death today, Li Dongyang would naturally fan the flames mercilessly and strengthen Zhu Houzhao's determination to kill Liu Jin.

In the shouting and beating inside and outside the Manchu Dynasty, Liu Jin was framed again and lost Zhu Houzhao's trust, how could he survive?

Zhu Houzhao sighed: "...... Later, Dai Yi said that Liu Jin's nephew Liu Erhan was calculated by the Jianghu warlock to be the emperor's order, and Liu Jin had just taken charge of the celebrant at that time, and he was bent on taking my country and giving it to his nephew......

Staring at Qin Kan, Zhu Houzhao said bitterly: "To be honest, a few days ago, I heard that the ancestral tomb of Liu Jin's family was built to the scale of the emperor, and there are many serious oversteps, I originally thought that you were doing it in private, and wanted to frame Liu Jin, but now that I think about it, I have really wronged you, Liu Jin's ancestral tomb is overrun, presumably it was his own doing, but he is powerful, and the people below dare not squeak." ”

Qin Kan's old face turned a rare red, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is really wise like a torch, and I admire it." ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned red, and he said sadly: "Qin Kan, I ...... It's still very uncomfortable now, it seems that there are hundreds of thousands of knives stabbed in my heart, you once told me that the world's people are unpredictable, but I didn't expect that even the most trusted and intimate people around me would have ill intentions towards me, Qin Kan, who else can I trust in the future? ”

Zhu Houzhao was extremely pitiful when he said this, and since he ordered Liu Jin to be taken, he felt a loneliness that was more complete than cold.

Qin Kan was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Your Majesty, if the king of a country is not sure who to believe or not, and he still asks to teach others, how can he command the world and subdue his subjects?" Your Majesty has a scale in your heart to weigh the heroes of the world, if you don't even have this confidence, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no second and third Liu Jin in the future. ”

Zhu Houzhao stared at him with burning eyes: "My father once told me that he said that the emperor has no friends, not only because the emperor is ruthless, but others are also ruthless to the emperor, so the emperor is destined to be lonely, Liu Jin's matter has proved that what my father said is right, Qin Kan, what about you?" ”

Qin Kan sighed: "As soon as Liu Jin was taken out of prison, His Majesty came to my house as soon as possible. In fact, His Majesty also disagreed with the words of the first emperor in his heart, and since he had already determined it, why bother to verify it? ”

Zhu Hou stared at him fixedly for a long time, and finally nodded heavily: "Qin Kan, you are different from Liu Jin, you have no ambition for power in your heart, only compassion for the world, I believe you...... If the emperor really doesn't even have a friend, what does it mean for the emperor to be deserved? I would rather abandon the country than live a dull life. ”

Qin Kan gave up. Zhengse said: "The minister will not live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

I talked for a long time. Zhu Houzhao's mood seemed to be better, he picked up the wine jug and poured a few sips of wine, wiped his mouth with his sleeve without paying attention to it, and suddenly burst out with a fierce killing intent in his eyes.

"Liu Jin has already lost it. I can't tolerate him anymore. He can give me whatever he wants. But this country is the inheritance left to me by my ancestors, and whoever dares to covet it will take someone's life! ”

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

Zhu Houzhao said a lot that night. also drank a lot of wine, cried and laughed like a madman, scolded Liu Jin for being ungrateful for a while, and cried and cried for a while.

Qin Kan has been quietly accompanying him, letting this most noble person in the world vent the bitterness in his heart.

Men always have to grow up by themselves, a young and fruitless love, a cruel betrayal of a friend, and the cold state of the world that can gradually taste the taste...... These can promote the boy to grow into a man quickly, parents and elders can't teach what they can't teach, after experiencing it once, the process is cruel, but which man hasn't experienced it?

After drinking the wine to the fullest, as Qin Kan said, both of them were drunk, one was the emperor of the dynasty, the other was a hereditary prince, and the person with such a noble status was drunk like two puddles of mud, and the two of them threw up in the garden of Qinfu with their shoulders on each other's shoulders, but the guards of the two did not dare to step forward to help.

That night, Zhu Houzhao stayed in the minister's house for the first time, and he was so frightened that the guards did not dare to be careless, and the warriors of the forbidden palace were transferred from the city to surround the Hou Mansion on the third floor and the outer three floors, and the regiment escorted Zhu Houzhao.

When Zhu Houzhao left the Hou Mansion the next day, there was a touch of fortitude and absolute determination in his eyes that he had never seen before, Qin Kan sighed secretly, perhaps it was not until he drank with him last night that Zhu Houzhao gradually strengthened his determination to kill Liu Jin.

Liu Jin really hurt Zhu Houzhao.

…………

The leopard fang issued a holy decree, and the ministers, who had always been picky about the emperor's holy decree, actually passed it this time, and immediately implemented it vigorously. - In fact, no one in the court can make things difficult for this holy decree, Liu Jin's henchmen have all been taken to prison at this moment, and almost all of those who have not been put in prison are ministers who have been suppressed by Liu Jin and can't raise their heads.

The Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the three divisions will try Liu Jin's crime and sentence it as soon as possible!

The day after Liu Jin was taken to prison, the officials of the three divisions gathered in the lobby of the criminal department, this trial can be described as unprecedented, according to the rules, except for the trial officials and the officials of the station, the officials of other yamen departments are not allowed to enter, but this time Liu Jin will be tried, and almost all the officials above the fourth grade in the Beijing division are here, and the people who hate Liu Jin in the Beijing division are also here.

The rules could not be broken, and the officials did not mind, and from the dawn of the early morning, countless officials and ordinary people consciously and quietly gathered in front of the yamen of the criminal department, staring coldly at the two closed vermilion lacquer gates of the yamen of the criminal department.

The old porter yawned and opened the door with a broom to clean, and the yawn was only halfway done, but he was stunned to find a large number of uncountable people standing in the dark at the door, and the hatred on everyone's face was silent and suppressed, and the silent hatred was more terrible than the roar of anger.

The porter still kept his mouth open and yawned, and looked at the strange scene of the combination of these ministers and people outside the door in surprise, blinked, and the porter threw the broom in his hand and ran into the yamen in a panic to report.

At three o'clock, the officials of the three divisions entered the office.

Liu Jin's case is too important, the presiding judge is actually served by the criminal department Shangshu Min Qi himself, this Tianshun eight-year jinshi is old and old, walking with a bit of twilight and deep appearance, but the steps are still steady, Min Qi has been the imperial history of the left capital, has been the governor of Liangguang, has been an inspector, and has become a decent person.

The other two presiding judges were Tu Tu, the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Tian Jingchang, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple.

The officials of the three divisions gathered together to try a case, and such a luxurious version of the trial lineup treated each other. Only Liu Jin is eligible to enjoy it in the world.

The two gates of the yamen have been completely opened, the officials and people outside are crowded together, there are many people but silent, everyone quietly looks at the hall of the criminal department, looks at the main hall sitting upright on behalf of the three divisions of the main department, looking forward to the opening of the biggest huge case in the Ming Zhengde period.

Everyone has the same idea, they want to see Liu Jin confess with their own eyes, and see with their own eyes what kind of fate Liu Jin will get.

…………

At the moment, Min Jue, the secretary of the Criminal Department, suddenly opened his half-closed eyes and glanced left and right. He nodded to the other two inquisitors. Then Min Jue slapped the shocked wood on the case, and shouted in a deep voice: "Lead someone to commit Liu Jin!" ”

The water and fire sticks in the hands of the officials on both sides of the station suddenly sounded like raindrops, and the low "mighty" shouts echoed in the hall, which made people's hearts awe-inspiring. Suddenly in awe. It shows that the king's law is strict. Good and evil are rewarded.

After a while, Liu Jin, who was wearing heavy flail and shackles, walked out slowly, and the official led him to the outside of the lobby corridor. Except for his shackles, only the shackles remained, and he slowly walked to the center of the lobby step by step to stand still.

Today's Liu Jin is no longer the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, the flying scenery when the master of ceremonies and supervisors palm prints, only spent one night in the inner prison, Liu Jin's hair has become snow-white, the hair is dirty and messy, loose and draped behind the shoulders, like a madman, the white prison clothes on his body are still clean, but he is barefoot, and his appearance is extremely withered.

Countless people inside and outside the hall are staring at this former Ming minister, who has killed countless loyal and good people, and made the Ming Dynasty regress for ten years.

In the terrible silence, the officials who were interrogating outside the hall were the first to attack.

"Liu Jin is a thief! Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and you have today! ”

"Dog thief, you have killed countless loyal and good, and today is your death!"

"Liu Jin, after you die, I will spend a lot of money to buy your meat, gather your wife and eat it!"

“…………”

In the tide of abuse in all directions, Liu Jin looked indifferent, with a sneer hooked at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't care.

Min Jue frowned, and slapped the shocked wood: "Silence!" Above the court, it is strictly forbidden to make noise! ”

The invective outside the hall finally quieted down.

Min Jue stared at Liu Jin like a knife, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Jin, are you guilty?" ”

Liu Jin sneered: "The miscellaneous family was framed by traitors, and the miscellaneous family is not guilty!" ”

"Bold! Yesterday, the factory guards found countless physical evidence in your house, and the ironclad evidence is like a mountain, you dare not admit your guilt! Min Jue snapped.

Who knew that Liu Jin did not show weakness, opened his eyes and said sharply: "Min Jue! You don't pretend to be righteous for the miscellaneous family! When the miscellaneous family is in charge of the ceremonial superintendent, do you dare to talk to the miscellaneous family like this? At that time, there was an edict from the miscellaneous family, do you dare not obey it? Last year's Miscellaneous Family's birthday, what did you forget to give to the Miscellaneous Family? Who are you to judge me today? ”

There was a sudden silence inside and outside the court, Min Jue trembled slightly, and the other two chief judges turned their heads with some weakness, and after a quiet moment outside the hall, they suddenly broke out into shouting and scolding, but the voices of the officials who watched the trial were obviously much smaller than just now, and some of the weak-hearted officials even squeezed out of the crowd without a trace and quietly went home.

Liu Jin is not wrong, he has been in charge of the ceremonial supervisor for two years, who in the Manchu Dynasty does not flatter him? Who hasn't tapped with him? Who hasn't given him a smiley face? Even Li Dongyang, a member of the Cabinet University, wrote an incomparably numb congratulatory message on Liu Jin's birthday as a birthday gift.

Seeing that he controlled the scene as soon as he appeared, Liu Jin looked up to the sky and smiled: "The miscellaneous family was framed by the villain, and His Majesty just impulsively took the miscellaneous family to prison, and soon His Majesty will come to his senses and recall the miscellaneous family back to the leopard room." Are you judging me? Ha Luha, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all out of miscellaneous families, who is qualified to judge me? ”

In the embarrassed crowd, a familiar gentle voice suddenly came.

"Father-in-law Liu, you can't talk too much, Qin shouldn't be from your disciple, right? Mind if I try you? ”

Liu Jin's insolent laughter suddenly paused, and he turned his head in surprise, only to see that the crowd outside the yamen was opened by a team of Jinyi captains, and Jinyi Wei Fu Ding Shun brutally slapped away a non-long-eyed person in front of him with a scabbard, and said loudly in his voice: "Qin Feng Shanyin Marquis, Jinyi Wei commanded the Marquis of Qin to arrive——" (to be continued......
