Chapter Twenty-Seven: Liu Jue
True, the "yellow book" here is not a metaphor, not a figure of speech. Rather, it is a yellow book in the physiological sense.
With illustrations, there are fine lectures, and various physiological poses are drawn vividly.
Wan An relied on finding another way to send yellow books and stood out among his colleagues. He became the first assistant of the cabinet.
He, the first assistant, adheres to the principle of "if I don't do things, I won't make mistakes", he is simply the ancestor of the fishing world.
Whenever there is an accident, such as a famine in which province, and a civil change in which province. When Emperor Chenghua asked him for the opinion of the first assistant.
He will "poof" to his knees like a big agile toad, and kowtow frantically.
Then he would be angry and shout: "Long live the emperor!" ”
Let me give my opinion? I'm sorry, we will shout "Long live the emperor". Nothing else.
I haven't heard of which minister of the Ming Dynasty lost his official position because he shouted "Long live the emperor"!
Therefore, Wan'an got the nickname of "Long Live Pavilion Elder".
The second of the three cabinet elders of the paper paste, Liu Ji, the second assistant of the cabinet, is nicknamed the cotton pavilion elder.
Since he was a Jishi, he has been a famous lying master and a fisherman. Because he didn't work, he was impeached by various officials and imperial histories.
The history of his promotion is the history of being impeached all the way.
Ordinary thin-skinned officials have been impeached so much that they can't hold their faces, so they resign themselves.
Liu Ji is different, he has one attitude towards impeachment: don't listen or don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures.
I, Liu Ji, am a ...... in the cabinet Big brother!
You officials impeached me?
Inaudible! Do it all over again! Can't hear at all!
With such a small voice, you still want to be a spokesperson?!
This is Liu Ji, a man whose skin is thicker than the city wall of Deshengmen.
Liu Ji is not afraid of impeachment (impeachment) like cotton, so he got the nickname "Cotton Pavilion Elder".
The Liu Jue mentioned by Shi Jian, the deputy head of the Miaoshou Sect just now, is the last of the three elders of the papier-mâché three pavilions.
He is a cabinet member, and his power is inferior to that of the first assistant and the second assistant.
Contemporary evaluation: Wan An is greedy, Liu Ji is engraving, and Liu Jue is slightly better.
Note that it's just "slightly better".
Compared with Wan An and Liu Ji, Liu Jue still does things.
Although it is not necessary to eat and drink, but it is better to do things than not to do things.
Liu Jue's biggest characteristic is that he is talkative. And hot-tempered.
Subordinates must not come to him to talk about things.
As long as he talks about things, he will definitely spit stars and give lectures to his subordinates. If you are in a good mood, you will talk for half an hour, and if you are in a bad mood, you will be lectured for an hour.
He is also a terminal manic patient, as a cabinet member from the Hanlin official, he has the style of a green forest, and he will do it if he disagrees.
Once, a subordinate expressed dissatisfaction because he had been talking for too long. He directly punched his subordinates in the eye sockets.
But after the fight, he continued to use this subordinate. Later, he also promoted his subordinates.
This is the papier-mâché Sange old of the Chenghua Dynasty. All of them are talents, and they speak well, but they don't like to do things very much.
In fact, the biggest evil of an official is a corpse vegetarian meal!
Chang Feng has been on an errand in Jinyiwei for three years, so he has naturally heard of Liu Jue's personality.
Chang Feng asked Shi Jian: "What benefits did Liu Jue's housekeeper give you?" ”
Shi Jian replied: "Steward Liu said that as long as I help his master get the letter box, his master will promote me to be the deputy head of the Supervision and Arrest Department of the Criminal Department." ”
The vice president catches the head, and it sounds quite bluffing. But in terms of identity, he is just an unofficial and classless servant.
Liu Jue asked Shi Jian to take that position, and he only needed to say hello to the Criminal Department.
Although the vice president catches the head of the house, he has a low position, but he has weight. is the second eldest of the 800 arrests in the Criminal Department. It is not surprising that Shi Jian failed to resist the temptation.
Sai Tanghong scolded him angrily: "Why are you so confused? offended Jin Yiwei, what can you do when you become the vice president? The magic hand gate will also be doomed. ”
Shi Jian explained: "I thought, and God did it unconsciously. Jinyiwei can't find it. ”
"If I were to be the deputy head of the Arrest Division. Then we will have a backer in the future, black and white. ”
Sai Tanghong continued to scold him, but Chang Feng interrupted her with a wave of his hand.
Chang Feng asked the most critical question: "What about the letter box?" Where? ”
Shi Jian replied: "It has been handed over to Steward Liu, and he should take it back to the old mansion." ”
Chang Feng asked: "He didn't say why he asked you to steal this box?" ”
Shi Jian shook his head: "In his eyes, I'm just a little person like an ant." How could it be said to me why. ”
Fat Xu pulled Chang Feng aside and spoke alone.
Xu Fatzi said: "Master Chang, there are still six moments of work at most, and the sky will be dawn." ”
"In my opinion, there's only one way to get the box back."
Chang Feng asked, "What way?" ”
Xu Fatzi said: "Isn't Miaoshoumen very good at stealing things?" Let them steal it back. ”
Chang Feng immediately rejected Xu Fatzi's proposal: "Absolutely not!" ”
"Shi Jian was able to succeed in Caifu, it should be Liu Jue who installed the internal response in Jinyiwei and knew the exact location of the letter box."
"Not so in the Pavilion Mansion. There are more than 100 houses alone. How do we know which room the box was placed in by Liu Jue? ”
"Won't they become headless flies when they go in?"
"Even if you're lucky enough not to be discovered, go from room to room. When I find it, I'm afraid the sun will set tomorrow. ”
"We only have six minutes to go! It's too late! ”
Xu Fatzi spread his hands: "What should I do?" Do you want to wait for death? ”
Chang Feng didn't say a word, and returned to Saitanghong and Shi Jian.
Chang Feng said: "I am a person who keeps my promises. As long as you don't talk about tonight, no one will hold you accountable. ”
Sai Tanghong still sweated in his heart, afraid that Chang Feng would backtrack.
She simply resorted to a beauty trick: "I am willing to enjoy the general flag and make amends with my body." ”
When he said this, Saitanghong's tone became charming again.
Chang Feng waved his hand: "The head of the game, the iron hook can't catch the talc ball." The beauty trick may be useful for Xu Fatzi. Useless for me. ”
"You don't have to worry. I often say a gentleman's word, and a whip is fast. Never break your word. Let's go. ”
Saitang Hong hugged Shi Jian, who was missing a piece of meat on his buttocks, and left.
Xu Fatzi was a little anxious: "Master Chang, what should I do!" I can't find the box after six moments, your little sugar candy really has to be taken care of by me! ”
Chang Feng rubbed his temples: "Silence, let me think about it." ”
Chang Feng closed his eyes, and his brain was spinning rapidly.
When encountering difficulties, it is like solving a mess, first of all, you must find the thread.
Now it is basically certain that the letter box is in the hands of the elder Liu Jue.
The thread of this mess is: Why did Liu Yu find someone to steal the letter box?
There are only two answers: Liu Jue wants to protect the prince, or harm the prince.
If Liu Jue wants to harm the prince, he will not move directly. Wouldn't it be better to go to Cai's Mansion with Wan An and Liu Ji tomorrow to hand over and transfer the letter box to the emperor?
Even if the matter is revealed, it is the pot of the concubine party, and it has nothing to do with Liu Jue. Wouldn't it be beautiful to kill someone with a knife?
He didn't steal the box to harm the prince.
Then there is one possibility left, Liu Jue wants to protect the prince.
Everyone in the officialdom knows that the first assistant Wan An and the second assistant Liu Ji have joined forces in recent years to suppress the power of cabinet member Liu Jue.
Liu Jue's strength is much smaller than these two, and he has always been at a disadvantage. It's impossible to turn the tables around.
Unless...... At a critical moment, he took action to protect the prince and secretly found the new backer of the prince, so that he would have a chance to turn defeat into victory in the future.
It's passed, it's passed. This is the reason why Liu Jue wants to protect the prince!
Since everyone's purpose is to protect the prince, then things will be easy to do!
Chang Feng opened his eyes and said to Xu Fatzi: "If you sit still, you will definitely die." It's better to gamble. ”
Xu Fatzi asked, "How to bet?" ”
Chang Feng said: "Let's go." Let's go to the old mansion, find Liu Jue, and have a showdown! ”
