Chapter 214

Song Nan sighed and arched his hand: "Maybe I shouldn't have come to persuade you today, to tell you the truth, the emperor didn't plan to let you go back to the cabinet to be reinstated, and it was only after Song Mou persuaded me to send me to invite you; Since Master Li is clean and self-conscious, why should I, Song Nan, bother with this thought; I'm just a small official with a big sesame seed, and in the future, Liu Jin will do my and say goodbye. ”

Song Nan turned around and left, Li Dongyang's face turned pale, and he suddenly said in a deep voice: "Wait." ”

Song Nan stopped and turned around and said, "What does Master Li have to say?" ”

Li Dongyang said: "If you want me to be reinstated, you have to let Gong Xie and Gong Liu be reinstated together." ”

Song Nan said: "I can't do it, I don't have that ability." ”

Li Dongyang said: "Then I can't obey my fate, it's difficult for me to carry the burden alone." ”

Song Nan sneered: "You don't want to carry a heavy burden, someone is willing to pick, that person is Liu Jin; Zhilu Dao: Why did Liu Jin get the news after you just discussed it in tandem? That's someone reporting the news, I might as well tell you the name, this person is Jiao Fang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, it won't be long before this person will enter the cabinet, believe it or not? ”

Li Dongyang gritted his teeth and scolded: "It turned out to be this villain, he had the loudest voice when he proposed, but he was already Liu Jin's lackey; Why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid that Liu Jin will blame you? ”

Song Nan said: "Of course I'm afraid, didn't you say that I was Liu Jin's party?" Won't I be on the list after bringing down Liu Jin? It's really unreasonable, but whenever the emperor is close to someone, you want to knock him down and step on the mud, and you are ashamed to say something like slandering a minister, which is really ridiculous. ”

Li Dongyang couldn't hold back his anger, after the news was revealed, Song Nan must have known that he was also impeached, in this case, it is understandable that Song Nan launched a counterattack, it is only to blame that there were traitors inside, and everyone miscalculated the situation, did not listen to their own words and retreated in time, and acted too toughly, which caused the emperor's extreme disgust, and things were out of control.

"Can the sin of Dai Mo be exonerated?"

Song Nan sneered: "Exempted from the crime of Dai Miao, doesn't it mean that Liu Jin was executed?" Will Liu Jin agree? Dai was too impulsive, and while I admire his actions, this is the price of impulsiveness; But Liu Jin wants to raid his home, I can find a way to protect his family, I can't guarantee it, but I will do my best, after all, I'm just a small foot, and I can't say anything about today's matter. ”

Li Dongyang said in a dumb voice: "The last condition, as you said, Liu Jin will definitely recommend people to the cabinet, I am alone, I want to recommend a few people to the cabinet, if the emperor can agree, I will be reinstated." ”

Song Nan thought for a while and said: "Okay, the emperor shouldn't object to this matter, the emperor is not stupid, he wants to use you, it is impossible not to make some compromises, you can discuss this matter with the emperor, I can also help you blow the wind, whether it is successful or not, it depends on the creation." ”

Li Dongyang nodded, sat down on the chair and sighed: "I, Li Dongyang, will become the target of others' scolding from now on." ”

Song Nan said softly: "Master Li, I know your hardships, after initiating this matter, if someone else loses his official position but you stay in office, you will naturally be criticized; But for the sake of the court and for the emperor, what if you are a courtier and endure humiliation for a while? Merits and demerits are only commented on by future generations, so why care about the gossip in front of you? ”

Li Dongyang waved his hand and said, "I don't need you to teach, if it weren't for this section, how could the old man agree to you; Don't forget, the old man didn't look at your Song Nan's face, although your old man doesn't know much about it, but the old man's temper is, no matter who it is, if he misbehaves, the old man will still be impeached. ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "I don't plan to climb Li University, I just hope that I will treat the lower officials fairly in the future, don't blindly buckle my hat, I am me, Liu Jin is Liu Jin, although I am not a big person, I don't disdain to be a eunuch lackey; Even if you Li Daxue is famous all over the world, don't think that I, Song Nan, will be attached to you, I have my own principles of doing things, if Li Dashi's ass is not clean, as a brocade guard, I will still check you and take you. ”

Li Dongyang sneered a few times and shouted: "Send off guests." ”

Song Nan went out with a smile, and the sound of hooves replied, not in the dark.

……

A few days later, Zhengde issued a holy decree and made the most conclusive verdict on the impeachment of Liu Jin by the ministers.

"The Ministry of Household Strikes is still in Hangul, Young Master Liu Jian, and Young Master Xie Qianzhishi." At the same time, Liu Jin made a list of 53 people who participated in the incident, called the 53-member party, all of whom were called traitors; None of those who participated in the work were demoted to officials, dismissed from their posts, or raided their homes.

Mu Bin was not spared, was pulled off the throne of the commander by Liu Jin, because of his behavior, he participated in the impeachment of the eunuchs of the inner court by Wenchen and was reprimanded by the rod for thirty, and was ordered to be reduced to one hundred households in Beizhen Fusi to live idle, and there was no future from then on.

Also implicated is Nanzhen Fusi Zhen Fu Xiao Lang, but Song Nan said first, Liu Jin sold Song Nan's face, and did not embarrass Xiao Lang too much, Xiao Lang himself is also very interesting, and he asked Zhishi to return home, but he was also exempt from insult.

In the following ten days, the political landscape changed drastically, and Li Dongyang, who endured humiliation and remained in the cabinet, successively recommended Wang Wei and Yang Tinghe to join the cabinet, and Zhengde also agreed to Li Dongyang's request under the persuasion of Song Nan; Liu Jin naturally refused to show weakness, and recommended Jiao Fang to take over the post of Han Wen, enter the household department, and recommend him to the cabinet to fight against Li Dongyang.

Under Liu Jin's recommendation, Shi Wenyi was really promoted to the position of commander of Jinyiwei; With Xiao Lang Zhishi, the Nanzhen Fusi was vacant, and Zhengde ordered Sun Xuan to take over from the North Town Fusi, and Song Nan naturally took over the post of the North Town Fusi.

Liu Jin naturally agreed with Song Nan's appointment as the Fusi of Beizhen, he played a small move to make Shi Wenyi rise to the top, and let Song Nan be promoted to the Fusi of Beizhen to find a balance, so that Song Nan would not be annoyed and angry; And Beizhen Fusi is just under the jurisdiction of Jinyi Wei Yamen, with Shi Wenyi in hand, Song Nan can't jump out of any tricks.

Song Nan remembered that Mu Bin was not bad to himself, although there was no beginning and no end, but after all, there was no grudge, and after taking office, he still respected Mu Bin, and strictly ordered his subordinates not to ridicule and gossip; But Mu Bin himself found it difficult to accept this reality, he was originally an official of Song Nan, but now he has been reduced to a hundred households under Song Nan, and he can't get by no matter what, so he simply called himself ill and drank too much at home to drown his sorrows. Song Nan didn't blame him, and ordered his subordinates not to report it, and let Mu Bin lick his wounds by himself.

The reshuffle of the court is dizzying, the outer court Taoguang is in the process of reaccumulating strength, and the relatives are naturally busy making money, firmly grasping the military power to maintain neutrality in the affairs of the inner and outer courts, and the biggest benefit is Liu Jin and others; The defeat of the Wenchen of the outer court made Liu Jin even more arrogant, the inner court was under control, and the outer court could also intervene, and he was unstoppable.

At the same time, in order to make the officials of the inner and outer courts more fearful, Liu Jin did not show mercy, and carried out further crackdowns on officials at all levels involved in his affairs, making a list of them and arresting them in the net, and for a time nearly 100 officials were implicated, or fell or demoted, all of which became victims of Liu Jin Liwei.

With Zhengde's acquiescence in front, and the civil official group has just suffered a blow to the top, Liu Jin has no scruples, even Dai Mill, who is self-refereed at the palace gate, will never forgive, in addition to adding charges, ordered Shi Wenyi to copy Dai Mill's home in Nanjing, confiscated his family property, and his family members were also implicated.

The New Year of the first year of Zhengde is coming, a heavy snow is sprinkled one after another, Beijing City is covered in silver, and Song Nan, the new Fusi of Beizhen Town, is not happy, sitting in the lobby with a fire and pondering.

The sound of creaking footsteps in the snow approached outside the door, and the guards in front of the door stepped forward to check, but saw a young man in Tsing Yi looking around at the door with his sleeves cuffed.

"What for? This is the lobby of the Fusi Division of Beizhen, and it is not allowed to trespass. The guard shouted.

The little guy took out a letter from his bosom and said, "May I ask if Song Zhenfu from Beizhen Fusi is here?" Here's a letter to him. ”

The guard took the letter, the little guy turned around and left, the guard handed the letter to Song Nan, Song Nan opened it suspiciously, and wrote a few lines on it: "Lord Song, can you do a few things about the old man to protect Dai Miao's family?" Dai Miao's only daughter will be punished into the Sect Division and put into the leopard room as a prostitute, and I hope Lord Song will rescue her. ”

Song Nan frowned, remembering that he had promised this matter when he persuaded Li Dongyang to stay in office that day, and Song Nan himself was also worried about this matter, especially after witnessing Liu Jin's actions, he felt that he should not have said that to Zhengde at the beginning, nor should he have helped Liu Jin come up with ideas, although it is understandable to protect himself, but the longer he stays in this era, the more he is contaminated with some things in this era, and some of the thoughts of sacrificing the big self for the sake of the small self.

"Wang Yong, prepare the horse." Song Nan tore up the letter, he understood that Li Dongyang could not come forward to rescue, because Dai Mo had already been convicted, and whoever spoke for him Liu Jin would target whom, otherwise, with Li Dongyang's arrogance, it would be impossible to beg him to go, and Li Dongyang's reputation fell greatly because he stayed in the cabinet, and the civil officials scolded him behind his back for being spineless and betraying his friends.

"Lord Zhenfu, where are you going?"

"Enter the palace." Song Nan said.

More than a dozen horsemen galloped along the clean streets to the palace, no one in the Qianqing Palace, Song Nan knew that Zhengde must be in the leopard room in Xiyuan again, the leopard room has been built, but Liu Jin is not raising leopards in it, but collecting all kinds of beauties, rare birds and beasts are raised in it, and he tries his best to bewitch Zhengde to have fun here, Zhengde also has no scruples, indulges in it every day, and is happy.

The leopard room is full of spring, the outside is covered with ice and snow, and the people inside are all sweating hot, Zhengde is wearing plain clothes and crooked on a pillow with a wine glass and looking at several graceful dancers in front of him, Liu Jin is serving tea and water on the side; The eunuch reported to Song Nan for a meeting, Liu Jin was obviously a little unhappy, and frowned: "What is he doing?" ”

Zhengde waved his hand and said: "Let him come in, Song Nan is still the first time to come to the leopard room, how can he not let him see such a scene." ”

Liu Jin had no choice but to order someone to invite Song Nan in, and as soon as Song Nan stepped into the house, he was suffocated by the heat wave and the smell of fat powder, and frowned and stepped forward to greet him.

Zhengde smiled and patted the futon next to him and said, "Come on, sit down, and look at these dancing girls that Liu Jin is looking for me?" ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "Yes, all of them are superb." ”

Liu Jin said with a smile: "Lord Song's family also has a few beautiful concubines, and it seems that they are also romantic figures. ”

Song Nan smiled: "Compared to here, it's a world of difference." ”

Zhengde smiled: "If Song Nan is interested, I can reward you with a few." You are not like Liu Jin and them, you look hearty but powerless. Ha lu haha. ”

Liu Jin is depressed to death, the biggest regret in this life is nothing more than this, no matter how powerful he is, it is useless, looking at the food but he can't start at the moment, it is really painful; So in the outer house, several beautiful concubines he raised were all tortured by Liu Jin's perverted appearance, if someone else said this, Liu Jin was afraid that he would immediately turn his face, but unfortunately the emperor ridiculed him, but he could only laugh.

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "Don't you dare, here are all the emperor's people, how dare Weichen take the beauty; But there is one thing I would like to ask the emperor to fulfill. ”

Zhengde smiled: "What's the matter? Whose girl do you fall in love with? Do you want me to be a matchmaker for you? ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "The emperor is really wise, he guessed it, he didn't hide it, I like someone in my heart, and I want to ask the emperor to give her to Weichen, I don't know if it's abrupt." ”

Zhengde smiled: "How can a woman from a good family give it?" If you want to give it to the people here and in the palace, you just said no. ”

Song Nan said: "I heard that the woman who asked for the minister had just been brought to the leopard room by Gonggong Liu, and the emperor had not met yet, so this is different." ”

Zhengde said: "Oh? Is there such a person? ”

Liu Jin said: "Who is Lord Song talking about?" ”

Song Nan said: "It's the daughter of the criminal officer Dai Miao, what I want is her." ”
