Zhengde said loudly: "Quasi-play!" ”
Liu Jin didn't wait for the ministers to react, and hurriedly shouted: "The emperor has a decree, Xuanzheng Nanfang Jinyi Wei Thousand Households Song Nan will come to see you!" ”
The eunuch on duty at the entrance of the hall immediately shouted loudly, and the shouts were passed several times, and soon a noise was heard, and it seemed that many people had arrived at the gate of the main hall.
The ministers turned their heads to look, and a stunned exclamation sounded, only to see a heavily armed officer at the entrance of the main hall, supporting a bloodstained and tattered man into the main hall.
Everyone knows that officer, it is the commander of the Fenwu Battalion, the little grandfather of the British Mansion, Zhang Lun, and the person he supported is rarely known, of course, except for a limited number of people such as Mu Bin, that is Song Nan, a thousand households in Zhengnanfang.
"Lun'er, why are you ......" Passing by the British Duke Zhang Mao's side, Zhang Mao couldn't help but ask in amazement.
Zhang Lun said in a low voice: "Grandpa, you will know later." ”
The two knelt down and saluted, shouting: "The minister Song Nan (Zhang Lun) see the emperor." ”
Zhengde's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Song Nan, why do you look like this?" ”
Song Nan smiled bitterly: "Weichen doesn't want to see the emperor with this appearance, this is the first time that the minister has entered the Golden Palace." ”
Zhengde hurriedly motioned for the two to be flat and asked, "Who made you look like this?" ”
Song Nan staggered, his face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who else can there be?" Worship the East Factory Fan Governor Lord. ”
The ministers were in an uproar, and Fan Heng shouted: "Song Nan, Hugh is talking nonsense, this governor has always been above the early dynasty, how could he harm you?" ”
Song Nan sneered: "Do you still need to kill people yourself?" It's a pity that more than a dozen brothers of my Jinyi Guard Yamen in the south of the country, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the capital, were killed by Dongchang Fanzi and injured dozens of people, you can't rely on this account. ”
The ministers were even more stunned, listening to Song Nan's tone, he should have been chased and killed by the Dongchang fans to become like this, how bizarre this thing is, not to mention, but the matter of the Internal Affairs Office is enough to make everyone scratch their heads.
Zhengde said angrily: "You mean that the fans of the East Factory intercepted and killed you Zhengnanfang Jinyiwei?" ”
Song Nan said: "Exactly, the minister was ordered to arrest the prisoners, and was surrounded and killed by hundreds of people along the way, killing and wounding fifty or sixty brothers, just now, on the square outside the Daming Gate, Lei Biao and Tan Lu, the second head of the East Factory, also led forty or fifty people to besiege and kill the ministers in front of the guards of the imperial city, but fortunately, the little grandfather led people to pass by, which saved the minister's life." ”
Zhengde shouted: "Zhang Lun, is this matter serious? ”
Zhang Lun arched his hand and said: "It's completely true, the minister with more than 100 officers and soldiers of the Fenwu battalion is preparing to go to the Xicheng school field to practice, passing by the Daming Gate, it coincides with the Dongchang Fanzi besieging and killing Song Qianhu and other more than 20 people, although the minister does not know the inside story, but in broad daylight in the Daming Gate to kill and make chaos, how can he sit idly by, so he took action to capture all the two sides involved in the fight. After investigation, the other party was the Dongchang Fan led by Lei Biao, the second-gear head of the East Factory, and Tan Lu, the third-gear head, and all the criminals were pressed outside the palace. ”
The ministers were like a fried pot, Dongchang and Jinyiwei openly fought, killing and injuring dozens of people, the nature of this matter is so bad, the seriousness of the situation is no longer repeated, and people with a heart have vaguely guessed the reason, it must be closely related to the things discussed in the palace.
Zhengde said in a loud voice: "Send the imperial doctor to bandage Song Qianhu's wounds." ”
Song Nan said: "The minister can stand up, thank you for the emperor's care, the minister's errand has also been done, the witness evidence is all outside the palace, waiting to be summoned at any time; Your Majesty, the ministers are fortunate not to be dishonored, and the original tokens given by the emperor are returned. ”
Song Nan took out the jade pendant with blood from his arms and presented it with both hands, Liu Jin took it and handed it to the dragon case, the ministers understood, the emperor secretly appointed Song Nan to handle the case, and gave the token right as a holy decree, this move is naturally to avoid some people to know, and the person to avoid is undoubtedly the person who is the master of ceremonies in the inner court, and then the things done must also be related to Wang Yue, Fan Heng and others.
With the summons of Zhengde, dozens of people outside the hall were escorted to the main hall, and a large number of gold and silver house deeds and other things were also piled up on the ground in the hall, Song Nan identified the identity of the captured people one by one, in addition to the captured second-gear head Lei Biao and other military leaders, all of them were related to the case of the inner transport warehouse, there were relatives of Wang Yue Fan Heng and others, as well as the people who were in the middle of the guarantee, and a large number of silver were also seized when buying the house, all of which were official ingots and silver taels minted by Shuntianfu.
The house deeds and title deeds, gold, silver, jewelry and other things on the land are worth nearly two million at a cursory calculation, not to mention the manor and acres of land in Baoding Mansion, Fan Heng's hometown.
Xu Zhi changed his words in time, and without waiting for him to be asked, he stated the corruption of the Internal Affairs Office, scolded Wang Yue, Fan Heng and others for forcing him to participate, and threatened himself; Immediately, the eunuch Ma Li of the inner carrier warehouse was also arrested and went to the palace, and Ma Ma confessed to the two account books of the inner carrier warehouse, and when the account books were submitted, the case had been revealed.
Zhengde could not hide the excitement in his heart, and in the statements of Song Nan, Liu Jin and others, he described himself as having already gained insight into the rampant actions of Wang Yue, Fan Heng and others, and then secretly strategized and deliberately ordered Liu Jin to build a leopard house, using this as an excuse to force Wang Yue, Fan Heng, Xu Zhi and others to expose the deficit of the carrier warehouse, and made exquisite calculations and arrangements, so that Song Nan could take the prisoner to the palace and confront Yunyun, in short, in the mouth of Song Nan and Liu Jin, the emperor was wise and powerful, and the glorious image of everything under control jumped out.
The ministers had their own agendas, and they were surprised that Zhengde had made such an arrangement in secret, but Li Dongyang and others knew that Zhengde had no such ability, and the main planner of this matter was either Liu Jin or this Song Nan. Relatively speaking, it is more likely that Liu Jin and several personal eunuchs around the emperor are the masterminds, after all, at the critical moment of the internal court contention, they are the biggest beneficiaries of the fall of Wang Yue and Fan Heng, but this Song Nan should not be underestimated, in such a top-secret matter, Zhengde can choose Song Nan's secret will to do things, which shows Song Nan's status in the emperor's heart.
The ministers were surprised by the audacity of Wang Yue Fan Heng and others, these people naturally need to be severely punished, and it is naturally gratifying to take the moths in the inner court, but in addition to the joy, they can't help but have some regrets, Liu Jin has made a contribution in this matter, and I am afraid that the previous participation in Liu Jin will be over, and the cabinet and the civil officials of the six ministries in the first round are obviously defeated for a while, which is obviously what Li Dongyang and others do not want to see.
Wang Yue, Fan Heng, Xu Zhi, Ma Li and other people involved in the case were taken down and imprisoned in the palace, and such a big case in the inner court, and involving both the factory and the guard, naturally had to be transferred to the Beizhen Fusi Prison for interrogation, because Song Nan was involved in the whole process, Zhengde proposed to ask Song Nan to participate in the trial, and the ministers naturally had no reason to object.
Mu Bin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Song Nan had already jumped out of his control, and he didn't say a word to himself during the whole process.
Qin ordered Song Nan to participate in the trial, this is the signal for Song Nan to enter the Beizhen Fusi, no matter how high the position of the foreign thousand households is, they can't enter the power core of the Jinyi Wei Division, the core department of Jinyiwei is the Nanbei Zhenfu Division, and the experience of the Yamen of the Division, only by standing in these yamen, can it be regarded as a real character.
However, Mu Bin plans to pretend to be stupid, he doesn't plan to do it in advance as long as he gives a hint like the previous emperor, just like the last time Hongzhi inspected the neighborhood and praised Song Nan, Mu Bin immediately went to promote Song Nan to a deputy thousand households. This time, Mu Bin wanted to punish Song Nan, and he would never take the initiative unless the emperor ordered it.
This is the longest early dynasty since Zhengde's accession to the throne, from the time of the hour, dragged until noon, causing a huge sensation and influence; Clear-eyed people know that the inner court has changed hands, Wang Yue, Fan Heng, Xu Zhi and others fell, Liu Jin won a complete victory, followed by a rocket-like rise.
The pattern of the power of the Ming Dynasty has not changed, the inner court and the outer court are all three, but the reorganization of power in a small area is inevitable, everyone carefully chooses their own positions, but there is no suspense that a large number of people fell to Liu Jin, this big case to bring down Wang Yue Fan Heng people almost unanimously believe that this is Liu Jin's strategy, and everyone can be regarded as the first taste of Liu Jin's means.
Song Nanle is like this, he will not be stupid enough to jump out and claim that all this is his idea, hiding behind the scenes is the best choice at present, he is still a scum compared to the bigwigs of all parties, any unwise move to show off may lead to disaster, and making a fortune in silence is the king.
But Song Nan's wishful thinking could not deceive the eyes of a small number of people, and soon, Song Nan understood this, in front of some old foxes, hiding was just futile.
