"What is the danger of adding sin? The slave and maid offered advice to the emperor, which was said to be the control of the government, and it was necessary to know that the policy of Ma Zheng's land was approved by the emperor, and the lords of the outer court agreed, and even the princes of the British government and the princes of the capital camp were also in favor; Later, the mob became the sin of the slave and the maid, which was too much to look up to the slave and the maid. If the emperor believed him, the slave and maid would have nothing to say. ”

Most of the ministers lowered their heads, Liu Jin's land and horse administration reform was indeed approved by everyone, because Liu Jin's reform did not move a single hair of the noble family, and he knew that it was an act of acquiescence by the emperor, and now it is indeed a bit far-fetched to blame Liu Jin.

"Although the slave maid has some power in the inner court, but the slave and maid know that these powers are given by the emperor, how dare they derelict their duties and use it indiscriminately, Yang Yiqing said that the slave and maid colluded with the henchmen, and dared to ask the lord in the court who was my henchman? If some adults appreciate the behavior of slaves and maids, and are willing to make friends with them; When you meet a slave or maid in the court and say two fair words to others, it is also a party member, then all the adults here are probably party members, your Majesty, think about it, isn't it ridiculous? ”

Zhengde said: "What Yang Yiqing said is reasonable and well-founded, saying that you sold your official position and accepted bribes; What's going on with that governor of Liu Yu? ”

Liu Jin kowtowed and said: "Then it's even more ridiculous, Liu Yu, a slave and maid, has never even seen face-to-face, how can he accept bribes to promote him?" The promotion of official positions is the responsibility of the ministry, could it be that I put it on Jiao Shangshu's head and force him to promote this unknown Liu Yu? Yang Yiqing, you sue me, when and where did I accept Liu Yu's silver and seek an official position for him? ”

Yang Yiqing frowned and said, "Why do you have to come forward in person for these things you assigned your subordinates to do?" ”

Liu Jin sneered: "In other words, you have no solid evidence at all, just a lie." ”

Yang Yiqing said angrily: "Whether you have done it or not, you know it in your own heart." ”

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Of course I understand, I didn't do it, you are framing me." ”

Some of the officials sighed, Yang Yiqing's accusation was pale and weak, Liu Jin forced Yang Yiqing to a dead end in a few words, if he quibbled about who was Liu Jin's opponent, otherwise he would not be able to be like a fish in water by the emperor's side, and he would not have today's scenery if his eloquence changed his mind.

"Your Majesty, slaves and maids are not perfect, slaves and maids also like money, the emperor rewarded some, and the slaves and maids themselves saved money and bought some money. The relatives from the slave's hometown are good at managing money, and the family property and acres are handed over to them to take care of, and I don't know how many of them there are now. Maybe it's because he took care of the slave and earned some money for the slave and maid, but I'm afraid there is nothing wrong with it. All the lords here, which of the fathers and princes does not have their own industry? As we all know, Song Nan and Song Hou Ye have six roast duck shops in their family, and they are making money every day, and there are also two manors outside the city, why don't you Yang Yiqing say that Song Hou Ye is corrupt and bribery, but he caught me Liu Jin biting? Is Liu Jin honest who bullied me? ”

The ministers rolled their eyes and said in their hearts: You gelding still claim to be an honest person, if you are honest in the world, you will be a peaceful world.

Liu Jin arched his hand towards Zhengde and said: "If the slave maid's family business comes from the embezzled money in the internal transportation warehouse, the slave and maid will cut themselves off without the emperor speaking." Fan Heng Wang Yue learned from the past, and the slave maid remembered it vividly. The emperor earnestly admonishes the slave and maid on weekdays, and the slave and maid keep in mind that the emperor can immediately send someone to check the accounts of the inner transport warehouse, and if there is any corruption of the court's silver, the slave and maid will kill themselves. ”

Of course, Zhengde will not be serious about this matter, Liu Jin makes money to repair the leopard room for himself, and collects beautiful women, rare birds and beasts to play, although Zhengde does not instruct Liu Jin to make money, but he has already acquiesced to him; Although I don't know how much money Liu Jin made, I won't punish Liu Jin for this.

"The investigation is to be checked, since someone has put it forward, the accounts of the inner carrier warehouse naturally have to be checked again, in order to relieve everyone's doubts, the household department organized people to check the accounts, and the results were made public in the early dynasty. But if Liu Jin's land and property are all legitimate channels, Yang Yiqing, you will be guilty of climbing falsehoods. ”

Everyone's eyes focused on Yang Yiqing, secretly sorry for him, the courage to impeach is commendable, but it is a little hasty, these charges seem to be extremely heinous, but after Liu Jin's rebuttal, the emperor may be difficult to accept. After all, Yang Yiqing has been in the northwest for a long time, and he doesn't know the fate of the officials who impeached Liu Jin in the DPRK and the emperor's reaction.

At this point, several officials who originally wanted to take advantage of Yang Yiqing's sharp spirit to seconded the proposal retracted their heads one after another, unwilling to come out again, thinking that the impeachment of the Eight Tigers by the cabinet scholars and hundreds of civil officials did not work, how could Yang Yiyi provoke Liu Jin today? I don't know if Yang Yiqing was dizzy, he admired his courage before, but now that he thinks about it, it seems a little stupid.

In the silence, a voice suddenly sounded: "Song Nan has a performance." ”

Among the hundreds of glances, Song Nan slowly stepped out of the queue and came to the Zhengde Seat to salute.

"Song Nan, what do you have to discuss?"

"The emperor is played, and the minister impeaches the eunuch Liu Jin." Song Nan said word by word.

The eyes of the civil and military officials rolled on the ground, and Song Nan actually mixed it up, Yang Yiqing was stunned and inevitably acted rashly, Song Nan is a difficult character who is as cunning as a ghost, everyone knows that Song Nan and Liu Jin are only in the same situation, but for such a long time, Song Nan always does not confront Liu Jin head-on, this is the treacherous point of this person; Are you confused about eating lard today? Knowing that Yang Yiqing's impeachment was no longer possible, he still stuck his head over and was stabbed, how mistaken and stupid it was.

Zhengde frowned and said, "Do you also attach Yang Yiqing's proposal?" ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "Of course, to tell the truth, Lord Yang's impeachment of Liu Jin today was written by me and him, and some unknown things in it are also known to me in the secret investigation of the Jinyi Wei Yamen." Liu Jin pushed it clean with clever words, but I didn't expect it. ”

Zhengde said unhappily: "What do you mean by rhetoric? What Liu Jin said is also reasonable, if they all lie falsely, is there still order in the court? ”

Song Nan said: "What the emperor said is, so the minister doesn't plan to quarrel with Gonggong Liu on these dozen counts, and the minister has added a new charge of impeachment to Gonggong Liu, let's talk about this charge today." ”

Zhengde muttered: "Song Nan, I remind you that the impeachment of others requires real evidence, I don't like courtiers to slander each other, I will severely punish these officials, Yang Yiqing's impeachment of Liu Jin If the crime of impeachment of Liu Jin is not true, Yang Yiqing will be dismissed from his post; If you also lie falsely, I will not forgive you either. ”

Song Nan said: "I understand what the emperor means, the emperor once warned the minister, the minister is still in his ears, but the minister has to make an exception this time, because the minister is for the sake of the emperor and the Ming Society, this is the duty of the minister." ”

Zhengde said: "What is your additional charge of impeaching Liu Jin?" ”

Song Nan said loudly: "Liu Jin colluded with the king of Anhua to rebel, the evidence is conclusive, please ask the emperor to investigate." ”

"Huh?"

"What?"

"Song Nan is crazy, how is it possible?"

There was a sound of gasping in the court, and the bombshell thrown by Song Nan made the ministers' minds mush, but they quickly realized that this matter was impossible, anyone could be Zhu Ningyan Neiying, but Liu Jin would definitely not be like this, although this person was domineering and murderous, he was more docile than a dog in front of the emperor, and would never do such a reckless thing.

Zhengde's brows twisted into a pimple, Song Nan obviously didn't catch the real evidence, why did he force himself out today, is he dizzy? In this way, even if he wants to keep Song Nan, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep it.

"I've heard enough crazy talk today, Song Nan, you shouldn't joke about such things." Zhengde was in a hurry, and tactfully relieved Song Nan.

"Your Majesty, the minister will not joke about such a thing, the minister has evidence."

Liu Jin on the side couldn't bear it, and sneered and said: "Lord Song, our family knows that you are playing some tricks behind your back and want to deal with our family, but this time you are too much." ”

Song Nan responded with a sneer: "Gonggong Liu, if you are upright, why should you be afraid of others? Could it be that there is a ghost in his heart? ”

"Joke, our family is loyal to the emperor, what are you afraid of? Your Majesty, the slave and maid asked Lord Song to come up with evidence, if Lord Song can't come up with evidence today, the slave and maid ask the emperor to punish him severely, how can such people who are indiscriminately accusing be able to gain a foothold in the court, and how can my Ming Dynasty prosper by relying on these people. ”

Zhengde said: "I know how to do it, I don't need you to teach me." Song Nan, you need to come up with evidence of Liu Jin's collusion with Zhu Ningxiao, if you can't come up, I will punish you, even if you are a meritorious person of the court, I can't tolerate it. ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "The minister understands, but the evidence is not in my hands." ”

"What? Darn! "The old man Zhang Mao almost didn't come up in one breath, he was so angry that he almost fainted, this Song Nan is here to be funny, isn't this looking for death by himself. The ministers also shook their heads secretly, Yang Ting and Li Dongyang thought that Song Nan would be confident in coming forward today, but they didn't expect this guy to be empty.

Liu Jin sneered: "Sure enough, it's a false accusation." ”

Zhengde said angrily: "Song Nan, you have gone too far. ”

Song Nan said quietly: "The minister just wants to ask the emperor to get the evidence in person, everyone knows that Liu Jin can speak well and is good at reversing and denying, if I come up with evidence, he will definitely deny it in every way, and the emperor will also be affected by him, so the minister dares to ask the emperor to get the evidence in person, and the evidence is in Liu Jin's Xiangshan Courtyard, as soon as the evidence is made public, the emperor will understand everything." ”
