Chapter 206: Saving Others to Save Yourself
(Thanks to the three yellow teeth, the flying bottle and the two brothers for the reward, thanks to the weak tea Rumo brothers' monthly pass) Chapter 206
Song Nan had a good dream, Ye Fanggu was pillowed on his right arm, and Lu Qingli was lying on his chest, Lu Qingli, who was gradually growing stronger, was used to such a sleeping position, and he had to lie naked on Song Nan's chest every day to rest on his pillow, which made Song Nan very angry every day, and he worked hard for many days, and his body was strangely tired, and he snored loudly when he fell asleep.
"Son, get up quickly, there's a guest coming." Xiao Ping'er's hurried voice sounded outside the door.
Ye Fanggu was also very alert in her sleep, took away Song Nan's palm holding the bud on her chest, and called softly: "Song Nan, wake up, Ping'er said that there is a guest visiting outside." ”
Song Nan woke up in a flicker, blindfolded and asked, "What time is it, there are still guests?" ”
Ye Fanggu looked out of the dark window and said, "It's not dawn yet, and I don't know who came so late." ”
Song Nan leaned over and asked, "Ping'er, who came to call the door in the middle of the night?" ”
Ping'er said: "Uncle Zhong said that Gonggong Liu from the palace is here and is waiting in the front hall." ”
Song Nan sat up with a spirit, Lu Qingli in his arms stretched out his snow-white arm to hook Song Nan, closed his eyes and muttered: "It's not peaceful at night, Brother Song told that Father-in-law Liu to come back tomorrow." ”
Song Nan picked up his clothes and said while putting them on: "Come here in the middle of the night, there must be something urgent, will it be something in the palace, I'll take a look." ”
The two sisters knew that it was useless to complain, so they were busy serving Song Nan to dress and comb her hair, and clean up properly, Song Nan wiped her face with cold water to eliminate sleepiness, and went out to the front hall.
In the front hall, the candle flame jumped, Liu Jin sat upright on the chair, the candle flame reflected the eerie and terrifying face, and his face was really solemn.
"Father-in-law Liu, why did you come to the cold house so late? What's wrong? Song Nan stepped into the door and asked.
Liu Jin waved his hand to signal the few little eunuchs who followed to avoid, Song Nan also hurriedly asked Uncle Zhong and other servants to avoid it, Liu Jin arched his hand and said in a low voice: "Lord Song, something is wrong." ”
Song Nan exclaimed: "Is something happening to the emperor?" ”
Liu Jin shook his head and said, "The emperor has nothing to do, you and I have something to do." ”
Song Nan frowned and listened to Liu Jin tell the news he would get, and his face gradually changed color.
The civil servants have their hands on it! It's finally done!
Although this is something I expected, what I didn't expect was that I was also included in the list, ranked after the Eight Tigers, and became the target of impeachment, on the grounds that he had also instigated the emperor's plaything to lose his mind during his time as an attendant, and now the emperor ignores government affairs and has something to do with himself.
Of course, this is a superficial statement, but the real reason is probably because Song Nan and Liu Jin got too close and were directly classified as Liu Jin's party; If it weren't for Song Nan and not being a member of the inner court, I am afraid that the names of the eunuchs such as Liu Jin would not be the Eight Tigers, but the Nine Tigers.
"These guys are unwilling, they didn't succeed last time, and this time it seems that they are going to make a real move." Liu Jin said.
Song Nan frowned, and said quietly: "Gonggong Liu, you know today, why don't you listen to my advice, although I rarely enter the palace recently, I also know that you have done a lot of things; I don't object to making the emperor happy, but everything must be moderate, so that the emperor's heart is scattered, and he ignores the daily government affairs, how can he blame the ministers for being so? ”
Liu Jin was not very happy when he was counted down by Song Nan, but he understood that now was not the time to make a score with Song Nan; Song Nan deliberately kept his distance, and Liu Jin also felt it, but this time the fire burned to Song Nan, and he couldn't stay out of it, the anger in his heart can be imagined, and it is natural to lose a few words.
"Lord Song, our family is the person who serves the emperor, naturally the emperor likes to do whatever the slaves and maids try to satisfy, can I be blamed for this? Do I fight against the emperor every day? ”
Liu Jin simply put all the blame on Zhengde, putting on a last resort, and not mentioning the absurdity of Zhengde was all done by him. Taking advantage of the emperor's playful nature of young people, doing what he likes, and winning the favor of Zhengde is one of Liu Jin's ways to take the opportunity to consolidate his position. In fact, during this time, Zhengde really enjoyed it, and he became more and more dependent on himself, and even Song Nan rarely mentioned it in his mouth, which shows that this method is actually very effective, but he didn't consider the feelings of the outer court.
"The leopard house, I have told you many times, what have you done? You just don't listen to me, don't think I don't know what to do, you also want to take the opportunity to make a fortune from it, the silver in the inner carrier warehouse is really tempting, but you can't completely ignore the reaction of the outer court, hey......! ”
Song Nan was indeed a little annoyed, messing around, no matter how he dodged, he still put himself in.
"Yes, yes, Lord Song, don't worry, these things will be talked about later, now we have to think about it, after the dawn of the court, they will discuss this matter, but there is no time to talk about this." Liu Jin hurriedly calmed down.
Song Nan sat down slowly, pondered for a while, and said, "According to what you say, the outer court is determined to eradicate a few of you this time, as well as our so-called comrades; It's easy for me to get out, after all, their accusations against me are a bit far-fetched, and I didn't instigate the emperor to do ridiculous things. But you, you can't take the piles on the table, I'm afraid it's a little difficult this time. ”
Liu Jin sneered: "Li Dongyang, they naturally won't stalk you, their purpose is to bring me down, but you can't get out of it." ”
Song Nan said: "You are so sure, but why?" ”
Liu Jin said: "Because your immediate boss Mu Bin is also involved, I am afraid that it is Mu Bin who refuses to let you go, after all, your relationship with him is stiff, and he also feels precarious about his status, so he just takes this opportunity to eradicate dissidents in Jinyiwei." ”
Song Nan was stunned: "How could Mu Bin be involved in such a thing? ”
Liu Jin said: "I also think it's strange, but that's exactly the case, and he is also in the secret gathering of civil officials in the evening." ”
Song Nan was anxious, Mu Bin participated in it, and he must have made up his mind, the new emperor was only a few months on the throne, and the emperor's absolute henchman Wang Yue Fan Heng fell, and under the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, how could Mu Bin not know that he would also follow in the footsteps, and it was also the cruel reality that forced him to protect himself. Although he is not necessarily his opponent, judging from the list of impeachments after being included in the list of the Eight Tigers, Mu Bin was present but had no objection, so it can be seen that Mu Bin has given up on himself.
"How are you going to deal with it?" Song Nan asked.
Liu Jin said: "I plan to ask to see the emperor later, ask the emperor to come out and speak, and I should inform you if I think about it, so as not to keep you in the dark." ”
Song Nan nodded and said, "Then you can go." ”
Liu Jin was stunned and said, "You don't go with me?" ”
Song Nan said: "Are your words more useful than me?" What's the use of me going with you? ”
Liu Jin said coldly: "You really plan to stay out of the matter?" Let's tell you, if I was knocked down by them earlier, and you finished playing, Mu Bin would kick you out of Jinyiwei, these civil officials seem to be kind, but they are all ruthless, I'm afraid you will not escape accountability. ”
Song Nan frowned and said, "Is Gonggong Liu threatening me?" Don't forget, I, Song Nan, didn't take advantage of your father-in-law Liu's wealth and wealth, but I helped Gonggong Liu a lot in the fight against terrorism, don't talk to me with the face of your inner court boss. ”
Liu Jin held back his anger and said: "Why do you think so, Lord Song, you and I are in the same boat, and we can find a way to deal with it together." ”
Song Nan said: "Your idea is naturally to do it yourself, I don't think that method is useful, so I won't ask the emperor." ”
Liu Jin was stunned and said, "Is my method useless?" We can only ask the emperor for this matter, and no one else can save us. ”
Song Nantie blushed and said, "Do you think the emperor will do it against the entire outer court for you Liu Jin and a few fathers-in-law around him?" I'm afraid that your face is still a little smaller; Even if you build a thousand leopard houses for the emperor, and the outer court pours out to kill you, you still can't escape. ”
Liu Jin was stunned and said, "Then what do you say?" ”
Song Nan snorted and didn't answer, and Liu Jin said in a low voice: "Brother Song, you and I have a great friendship, and we are currently in the same boat, why bother with some of our family's words and deeds?" Our family is honest to you, if this matter can be resolved, we will listen to you, and it is better to converge. ”
Song Nan snorted coldly and said, "Are you honest with me? Then tell me, why did you keep me in the dark because you made a secret agreement with the Jinyi Guards? You promised to push Shi Wenyi to the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, He once mentioned this matter to me, I asked you tentatively, you are still covering it, are you blind or deaf to me. ”
Liu Jin said embarrassedly: "You...... How did you know the Tao? ”
Song Nan said: "I naturally know the Tao, I am not deaf and blind, I only tell you, you must tell me about the things in Jinyiwei, because I am in Jinyiwei." I don't have a problem with who is the commander of the brocade guard, but none of my people are allowed to move. ”
Liu Jin hurriedly said: "Why don't we recommend you to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, do you think it?" ”
Song Nan sneered: "You see the wind and make the rudder, I don't have that qualification yet, so I haven't thought about it at all, do you think I'm coveting that position?" I just want to be a person, and I am an honest person, but I won't ask you to recommend it, do you understand? ”
Liu Jin smiled dryly: "Our family understands, Lord Song's ability is stronger than my Liu Jin, there is no need for our family to help, Lord Song's hands and eyes are all over the sky, and the emperor is good to you, and there is a backer of the British government behind him, so naturally there is no need to be afraid of anything." ”
Song Nan sneered and was silent.
Liu Jin said in a low voice: "Okay, Lord Song, you have helped our family many times, how about helping our family again this time?" After all, our family was brought down by them, and you didn't do any good, and as long as our family was in the inner court, it would always be beneficial to you, Lord Song, right? ”
Song Nan sighed, and warned himself in his heart not to be rash, Liu Jin was indeed a little unreasonable, but he had already decided to save Liu Jin to save himself. What's more, Song Nan was also very angry that these indiscriminate civilians and officials were in the same league and included himself in Liu Jin and his ilk; To protect Liu Jin is to protect himself, Guogong Mansion Yunyun is just Liu Jin's speculation, Zhang Mao's attitude is very clear, Guogong Mansion will never turn his face with the civil officials of the foreign court for himself, this matter still has to rely on himself, no one can rely on it.
"Father-in-law Liu, my words today may be a little rude, but they are sincere, as the person who has survived to this day by the prince's side, I naturally will not stand idly by. I only hope that Gonggong Liu will not make the same mistake in the future, the Ming Dynasty belongs to everyone, and there must be a bottom line for the trouble, so that the emperor doesn't even care about government affairs, and the world is in chaos, what good will it do to you and me? ”
"Yes, yes, Lord Song said yes." Liu Jin nodded like pecking rice, but Song Nan could see that Liu Jin was not sincere at all, if he hadn't thought that he could have a good idea, I am afraid that he would have turned his face and left.
At this time and at that time, today's Liu Jin is no longer the Liu Jin who serves the prince to dress and eat.
