Chapter 135: Venturing Out of the Palace
The night was thick, and the candlelight in the pantry of the master of ceremonies seemed to be difficult to dispel the darkness, and fear was like a huge dark cloud enveloping Liu Jin.
After he was taken away, he was kept in the pantry next to the celebrant and has not been arraigned. The silence frightened him more than being arraigned. Now he has no time to care about the role that Jian Ning plays in the middle, all he thinks about is Zhu Houzhao's glance.
Sharp, disappointed, and murderous.
Dragons have reverse scales, and they die when they touch them.
At this moment, Liu Jin deeply felt the meaning of this sentence.
Even though he is powerful, he still can't get rid of the word "slave". The Son of Heaven can lift him up to the clouds, and he can also knock him down into the clouds, left and right, and it is only a blink of an eye.
The sapphire ring was given away, to the little eunuch who had just delivered the meal. This ring failed to let him enter the palace gate, but it ended up in the hands of the little eunuch he usually looked down on the most. At this moment, all his hopes were on this little eunuch, which eased his mixed thoughts somewhat.
He didn't fight alone, there were still people behind him. As long as everyone is of the same mind as him, he believes that he can still escape this catastrophe. If he can face the king, maybe as long as he suffers a little, the Son of Heaven will forgive him again.
He can swear that he will never trouble Jian Ning again in the future, he doesn't believe that the Son of Heaven will be so ruthless to him. How fierce was the momentum of Liu Jian and others back then, didn't he survive? Besides, His Majesty can't do without him, and without him, who will deter the courtiers for his old man?
Your Majesty is fun, and when he is tired of dealing with official business, he will naturally be able to think of himself.
After a night's time, Liu Jin finally met the person who came to interrogate him. Jiao Fang, Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang......
Seeing that Jiao Fang was also included, Liu Jin's heart was a little calmer. As long as Jiao Fang is also among them, it means that His Majesty has not completely lost his heart to him.
In the days that followed, Liu Jin spent the days in constant cunning and interrogation. And the flame of the entire court and the eunuch party is also burning more and more.
When someone falls, someone stands up, and this kind of thing will always be like this, and it has nothing to do with good or bad, only about interests.
Liu Jin was in a trance, these many people came, but he didn't see the Son of Heaven pass on him again, which made him less and less confident. And when he was apprehensive, Jian Ning also discovered a shocking secret!
This secret forced her to take a risk to the celebrant.
Before she entered the palace, she had an agreement with Tang Yin to convey information through newspaper articles. She made up a code to convey her message.
Today, when she was reading the Royal Daily, she found that the advertising position was promoting the script, which was the code she had set with Tang Yin.
Then she found a copy of the Analects and began to crack it according to the code agreed upon. At this glance, he was scared out of a cold sweat.
In her previous life, she had seen those things in the Ming Dynasty, and she still remembered the rebellion of King Anhua relatively clearly. This person was captured by Qiu Yue before he really started, and when the people sent by the imperial court arrived, the rebellion had already been suppressed, and it was only eighteen days before and after, which was a very funny behavior.
And Liu Jin's downfall was also due to the rebellion of King Anhua. Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing came together, and after some secret discussions, Liu Jin's bad luck began.
This is the original history. And now, because of her, an outsider, history seems to have changed.
Li Dongyang launched it in advance, and because of the reform of the post station, Li Dongyang and others actually grasped the fact that King Anhua had been captured in advance, and this was what Tang Yin told them.
Jian Ning didn't know what Tang Yin meant, why didn't he tell him earlier, if the eunuch party completely fell, it would be difficult for Zhengde to do it.
Daming's group of scholars and doctors are too difficult to handle, if they don't have the power to restrain them, then it will be just a joke to change the law in the future!
So she can't let Liu Jin die thoroughly, she has to spare his life!
Jian Ning closed the Analect, forced herself to calm down, and began to sort out the ins and outs of the whole matter. After a while, she suddenly smiled bitterly.
I underestimate the world!
thought that he could control the situation with his own little prophet, but it turned out that the so-called master must not only have incomparable wisdom, but also have unparalleled adaptability.
Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe are obviously such people.
Tang Yin is a simple person, and he didn't tell himself before, just because he was going to enter the palace, and he was afraid that he would be criticized if he was involved in the government. And he believes that Li Dongyang is a person, despises Liu Jin, and believes that Li Dongyang and others will make the right choice, so it becomes very reasonable to combine the two and hide from themselves.
But in the past few days, the situation in the court has become more and more intense, and Zhengde has been forced to start pretending to be sick, and he obviously realizes that if Liu Jin is completely down, he will return to the embarrassing situation when he first ascended the throne, so he has to pretend to be sick before he comes up with a countermeasure.
And Tang Yin reported to himself today, obviously it was the madness of Li Dongyang and others who woke him up. In the past, he talked to him many times about the way of balance, and Zhengde had the grace of knowing him, how could he watch the Son of Heaven fall into the previous situation again, and then continue to be a faint king?
Liu Jin's biggest crime in history was rebellion, and letters, dragon robes, weapons and other items were found in his home......
So......
Li Dongyang and others have not participated in Liu Jin's rebellion yet, are they still arranging and falsifying false testimony?
Thinking of this, Jian Ning completely calmed down.
She believes in everything Liu Jin does, but she only doesn't believe that Liu Jin will rebel. Liu Jin in history was slashed more than 3,000 times, and he was crying out for injustice until he died, if people like him were not really wronged, how could they have the perseverance to survive until that time?
He may be bad for the whole world, but he will not be bad for Zhengde, he has feelings for Zhengde, after all, Zhengde was brought up by him, how can the feelings not be deep?
Li Dongyang......
Jian Ning's fingers rubbed the book, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes.
Even if your intentions are good, I will never let you succeed.
Thinking of this, Jian Ning immediately called Cui Yupu and said, "Xiao Puzi, you always said in the past that you would go up the sword mountain and go down the sea of fire for me, I have something now, do you dare to do it for me?" ”
As soon as Cui Yupu heard this, he knew that the opportunity for his allegiance had come, and immediately knelt down and said: "The slave is willing to go to the soup for the master, and she will not give up." ”
"Good."
Jian Ning nodded, "You are loyal to me, and I will not treat you badly." Let me ask you, the celebrant, would you like to take me there? ”
Cui Yupu was taken aback, couldn't help but look up, and said in surprise: "Master, this is?" ”
Jian Ning looked at him and said in a low voice, "You are Gao Feng's person, right?" ”
"Master......
Cui Yupu's face turned pale, and he kowtowed again and again, "The slave is the master's person, and he doesn't dare to have two hearts." ”
"Hehe, it's okay if you're okay, Gao Feng is also a good one."
Jian Ning pursed her lips and smiled: "So you go and let Gao Feng think of ideas, just say I want to see Liu Jin!" Otherwise, when the front completely knocked people down, he wouldn't think about it! ”
Cui Yupu's face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't help but say: "Master, Grandpa Gao didn't ...... with them."
"It doesn't matter if you're in the same boat or not, it's ...... that counts"
Jian Ning looked at him and said word by word: "He is nicknamed the Eight Tigers!" ”
Cui Yupu stumbled out of the Chengqian Palace, only to feel a buzzing in his head, is it really as the master said, Liu Jin falls, they will all be unlucky? Including the master? Your Majesty loves your master so much, how can it be?
He couldn't figure it out for a while, but he instinctively believed in Jian Ning. Hurriedly found Gao Feng, and after conveying Jian Ning's words, he said: "Godfather, Master Jian is a powerful person, there is a gap in his heart, do you say that what she said will come true?" ”
Gao Feng has also done errands, his knowledge is better than Cui Yu Puguang, and his mind is better, and when he pondered it slightly, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Your master is right! If Liu Jin dies, we will be really unlucky! Now His Majesty just wants to send people to the imperial tomb, and if Liu Jin does not die, the courtiers will not dare to persecute His Majesty too much. ”
"But godfather, you didn't do anything bad with Liu Jin?"
Cui Yupu still didn't understand, "As for making Your Majesty happy, isn't that our duty to be slaves?" ”
"You idiot!"
Gao Feng slapped him on the head, with an expression of hatred that could not be made of steel, "How come you haven't grown at all with such a smart master?!" You don't know what kind of temperament those Wenchen have?! Their predecessors had all died in the Fengtian Temple, and they also fought in front of the Son of Heaven, not to mention beating people to death, they all wanted to rush up to fight the Son of Heaven! Just these people, if there is no vicious wolf to restrain them, they can bite you and me to death! Where is the reason?! It's enough that I'm one of the Eight Tigers! Quick, prepare a set of clothes that Master Jane can wear, and take her to the celebrant immediately......"
As he spoke, he patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, Li Dongyang and they have entered the palace again, and at this time in the Qianqing Palace, Your Majesty is being entangled, otherwise Master Jian won't be able to come out, and we won't have to do anything ......."
A quarter of an hour later, Jian Ning changed into the clothes she had promised, sneaked out of the Xuanwu Gate, and headed towards the Yamen of the Master of Ceremonies.
The celebrant was not in the palace, and this yamen also became the place of refuge for the Qing Dynasty's palace dependents (low-level concubines) in the Qing Dynasty, also called Ji'an. Compared with the loneliness of the Qing Dynasty, the celebrant at this moment is a place that many poor people yearn for.
After all, this eunuch serving the Son of Heaven is also a promotion channel, and the celebrant is the apex of this channel.
Jian Ning had no intention of appreciating the resplendor of this yamen, she was pressed for time, and she had to prevent Zhengde from going to Chengqian Palace, so she had to act quickly.
She followed a little eunuch into the celebrant of ceremonies, and soon she served her food and entered the pantry.
"How's it going out there?"
Liu Jin's voice came, Jian Ning put down the food, and said in a low voice: "They are going to make a false testimony and cut you with a thousand knives." ”
"What do you say?! They're spurting blood...... You, why are you here?! ”
Liu Jin stood up in shock, "You, what are you doing?!" How can you get out of the palace?! ”
"It's man-made, isn't it?"
Jian Ning looked at Liu Jin and said, "Father-in-law's voice is still smaller, I took such a big risk to come here to bury you!" ”
"Huh!"
Liu Jin gritted his teeth and sneered, "If I die, I will definitely drag you to be buried!" ”
"I advise my father-in-law to let go of his old enmity and think about what to do! You don't think I'm so boring and take such a big risk to go out of the palace just to come and see your jokes, right? ”
Jian Ning sneered: "It has nothing to do with me whether you live or die, but I can't watch Your Majesty being manipulated by them, do you know what I mean?" ”
