Liu Xiaoyan's status as the "Queen Mother's Righteous Sister" came in handy.

After Empress Dowager Zhang moved from Kunning Palace to Cining Palace, she issued an edict to give Liu Xiaoyan permission to enter and leave the harem at any time, and no one could stop her.

Inside the Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at the mirror and felt sorry for herself. At the age of thirty-four, she became a widow at a young age. Compared with the honorific title of the Queen Mother, she wants her beloved husband to live in the world.

At this moment, a little eunuch said: "The Queen Mother, Mrs. Chang asks to see." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang hurriedly said, "Please." ”

After a while, Liu Xiaoyan walked in and knelt down to salute.

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Sister, hurry up and be exempt." ”

Liu Xiaoyan got straight to the point: "The Queen Mother, my father died of illness, and the cabinet and the big and small Jiuqing wrote to Chang Feng to stop the official system." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang blurted out: "Their brains are in dung? Liu Lao Butang is Chang Feng's father-in-law, not his biological father. ”

Liu Xiaoyan cried: "The Queen Mother." The civil officials bullied the emperor in the court all day long. Chang Feng is one of the few confidants of the emperor. Naturally, the civil servants did not like him. ”

"They've made a lot of noise this time. There is a momentum that they will not give up if they do not abide by the rules. ”

"If the men of my family are destroyed, they can bully the emperor more unscrupulously in the court."

Liu Xiaoyan is very good at arching fire. Empress Dowager Zhang's fire "poofed" all of a sudden.

Empress Dowager Zhang said angrily: "It's against them!" Pity. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. The mourning family can't help Chang Qing's family. ”

Liu Xiaoyan said: "As long as the Queen Mother wants to help Chang Feng, Chang Feng can continue to stay in the court." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang was puzzled: "Oh? ”

Liu Xiaoyan said this and this to the Empress Dowager Zhang.

Half an hour later, the first assistant Liu Jian's mansion.

The eunuchs of Cining Palace came to deliver the decree and summoned Liu Jian's sixth concubine into the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

The opportunity to meet the Queen Mother is not for everyone. The concubine in the sixth room happily left the mansion with the eunuch.

Liu Jian's bad old wife and the rest of the concubines were all jealous.

This concubine entered Cining Palace. Empress Dowager Zhang and Liu Xiaoyan first shouted at her and asked for warmth.

Later, Empress Dowager Zhang ordered the imperial doctor to help her diagnose her pulse and prescribe some tocolytics. After checking the pulse, the doctor confirmed that she was indeed three months pregnant.

Let's live!

During the emperor's funeral, the first assistant Liu Jian's misbehavior was certain! Because there is one of the most heavyweight witnesses in this matter - the queen mother.

Let's say that on the side of Jinyiwei, Chang Feng has been waiting for news from Cining Palace.

After the morning, Qian Ning walked in: "Master Chang, it's done!" A father-in-law from the Lady Tuo Cining Palace came to pass the word. The imperial doctor had already checked the pulse of Liu Jian's concubine in front of the queen mother. It is indeed a happy pulse, three months pregnant. ”

Chang Feng asked: "What about the doctor who gave the concubine of the Liu family before?" Did you find it? ”

Qian Ning said: "It's the senior doctor of Huaide Hall in the south of the city." I've already invited you to Beizhen Fusi. ”

Chang Feng got up: "Okay." I'll go to the cabinet to have a showdown with Liu Jian. ”

Cabinet is on duty.

Xie Qian intended to demonstrate in front of Li Dongyang.

Xie Qian deliberately raised his voice and said to Liu Jian: "If Chang Feng agrees to suspend the official system this time, the eunuch party will lose a vicious dog." If you don't agree to suspend the official system, we will impeach him for being unfilial! How can an unfilial person be a cavalry general? This vicious dog is still disgraced. ”

In front of Li Dongyang, he said that Li Dongyang's in-laws were "vicious dogs". Xie Kankan's mouth is really bad.

Liu Jian stroked his beard triumphantly: "Anyone who colludes with the eunuch party, we will knock them down one by one!" The eunuch party wants to frame those officials who are as honest as water through the Lianghuai salt case, we must fight back! ”

Li Dongyang didn't say a word.

Liu and Xie did not make a conspiracy this time, but a conspiracy. Li Dongyang empathized, if he was Changfeng, he would have no way to solve this dead end.

At this moment, Chang Feng walked into the cabinet room.

Chang Feng respectfully saluted Liu and Xie: "Liu Shoufu, Xie Gelao." Oh, the in-laws are too. ”

Liu Jian glanced at Chang Feng and ignored him at all.

Xie Qian sneered: "Heh, what are you doing when you don't keep a vigil for Liu Laobutang at home, and go to the cabinet to be on duty?" ”

Chang Feng said: "I heard that the elder of the pavilion and the Jiuqing asked me to suspend the official system. My father-in-law is indeed like a father to me. ”

"He traveled west with a crane. I should have been at home for twenty-seven months, and I should have done my filial piety to his old man. ”

Liu Jian and Xie Qian were triumphant. I thought Chang Feng was here to admit defeat.

Unexpectedly, Chang Feng said: "Oh yes, I still want to congratulate Shoufu!" I heard that the sixth lady of your mansion is three months pregnant. ”

Liu Jian's face changed when he heard this. He secretly said in his heart: Not good! How did Chang Feng know about this hidden matter? If this matter is put on the table and said, it is the courtier's misbehavior and filial piety during the great funeral of the former emperor.

On second thought: it's nothing. At most, go home and let Xiaoliu take abortion pills, Chang Feng can't get evidence.

Chang Feng had already seen through the little abacus in Liu Jian's heart. He smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is very grateful to Shoufu." At the end of the day, the Queen Mother summoned the six ladies of your mansion in Cining Palace. ”

"The Queen Mother also asked the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse of the sixth lady of your mansion. Sure enough, it was a three-month happy pulse. ”

Liu Jian frowned: "The Queen Mother? You asked the Queen Mother to summon her? ”

Liu Jian never thought that Chang Feng would come to this hand, and directly let the Queen Mother be a witness.

Chang Feng smiled: "Shoufu is wrong. It is the Queen Mother's concern about the Liu family's dispersion. She summoned the Sixth Lady of your Mansion and had nothing to do with me. ”

Xie Qian said: "Chang Feng, what is the purpose of you coming here to talk about this?" The Cabinet is a military powerhouse, and we don't have time to listen to nonsense. ”

Chang Feng didn't speak, and Li Dongyang opened his mouth first: "Brother Mu Zhai, isn't this an obvious thing?" Shousuke's sixth wife was three months pregnant. That first auxiliary sowing should be in June of this year. ”

"The first emperor was the seventh day of the fifth month. June is still in the mourning period."

Xie Qian gasped, and said secretly in his heart: Changfeng is a good means. So quickly came up with a way to fight back!

Chang Feng said with a smile: "In-laws, Shoufu is loyal and filial." How is it possible to indulge in sex during a great mourning? In my opinion, there is another possibility, that is, someone brought a green hat to Shousuke! ”

Liu Jian's hands trembled with anger: "Nonsense! She was loyal to me. ”

The literati are the most famous. If you default to being a cuckold. Liu Jian's reputation was ruined.

Chang Feng said: "So, Shoufu admits to indulging in lust during the mourning? ”

Liu Jian said: "This"

Chang Feng sat down on the chair unceremoniously: "Okay." I won't say more nonsense. Don't talk about me suspension. I will not mention the pregnancy of the first concubine during the mourning. ”

"Let's all take a step back. Take a step back and open the sky! ”

Now is not the time to completely clean up Liu Jian. Because Emperor Zhengde set the time to sweep away Liu and Xie in the first year of Zhengde, that is, next year. Chang Feng could not use this incident as an excuse to impeach Liu Jian.

Liu Jian stretched out his thumb: "Chang Feng, there is yours." When it comes to yin damage, I am inferior to you. ”

Chang Feng smiled: "Thanks to Shousuke's praise." I, Guan Gong, played with a big knife in front of him, and I will tell you what the old minister Huaien taught me before his death. ”

"If a man wants to achieve great things, he must control three bars. The first is the mouth, less talking, more listening, more thinking. The second is the tail, don't get the momentum and lift the tail to the sky. ”

"This third Ba Ma is indecent, and the hero has been sad since ancient times. How many heroes have been ruined because they can't control it. ”

Xie Qian said angrily: "Chang Feng, are you insulting the head assistant of the current dynasty and the assistant government of Tuogu?" ”

Chang Feng said: "I didn't insult anyone, I was just discussing the truth of being a human being with Shousuke." ”

Liu Jian finally spoke: "Don't say it." If you are suspended, we will stop you. Don't make any more noise about my little six's pregnancy. It's a deal between us. ”

Chang Feng said: "Okay! A gentleman's word, a quick horse! It's so happily decided! ”

Liu Jian was annoyed in his heart: it was obvious that he could bring down Chang Feng and let him lose his power and get out of the court, and he shouldn't have done it in June. Chang Feng is right, you should control the three bars!

Chang Feng got up and added a sentence before leaving: "The Lianghuai Salt Case involves the financial foundation of the imperial court. It's not part of our deal. I don't dare to use this as a bargaining chip. I'll take things personally. ”

"In addition, I would like to advise those who want to let Liang Bohong 'commit suicide bizarrely' - don't bother! If Jin Yiwei can't even save the life of a criminal, there is no need to exist in the world. ”

Chang Feng made Liu Jian and Xie Qian lose face. The two of them were angry and didn't say a word.

Li Dongyang took a sip of tea proudly: "It is worthy of being an aged Pu'er, and the tea is fragrant."

Chang Feng smiled at Li Dongyang and left the cabinet room.

In the evening, Emperor Zhengde was eating under Liu Jin's service.

Emperor Zhengde looked worried: "Chang Feng can come up with a way to survive this catastrophe, right?" He is the dagger left by the emperor to me. I don't want the dagger to break out of its sheath before it is revealed. ”

Liu Jin also sweated for Chang Feng: "Your Majesty, this civil official is ruthless. Changfeng is not advancing, nor is it retreating. Hopefully he'll be able to figure out a way to break the game. ”

At this moment, Gu Dayong walked in: "Your Majesty, Chang Feng asked to see him, saying that he was here to reply to the order." ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "Reinstatement? Let him in. ”

Changfeng enters the dining room. Emperor Zhengde asked, "How are things?" ”

Chang Feng replied: "Your Majesty." Mr. Liu and Mr. Xie of the Cabinet have agreed not to mention the matter of suspending ministers from the official system. ”

Emperor Zhengde was surprised: "It's only been six hours since I showed you their recitals. In just six hours, you let the menacing them die down? ”

Chang Feng replied: "They want to make a fuss about the word 'filial piety'. The minister also used the word 'filial piety' to make them retreat. ”

Chang Feng told Emperor Zhengde the truth of the matter.

After hearing this, Emperor Zhengde was overjoyed: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Uncle is worthy of being an old man for more than 20 years, if you talk about court battles, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and a bunch of rotten Confucians are not as good as you. ”

"The 'yang conspiracy' of the civil officials only gives you two choices. Either the official system was suspended, or they were impeached and removed from office because of 'unfilial piety'. ”

"You also gave Liu Jian two choices. Either 'unfilial' or 'cuckold'. ”

"Wonderful! What a trick to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth! ”

Chang Feng said: "Flies don't bite seamless eggs." In the final analysis, it was Liu Shoufu who misbehaved and was caught by the ministers. ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "He teaches me benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long. In the end, you caught the handle on the word morality. I'm so relieved to hear what you said! ”

"Haven't you eaten yet? Liu Jin, set up a seat! I'm going to share dinner with my uncle! ”

Chang Feng hurriedly said: "Thank you to the emperor for the food." ”

The two of them chatted while eating. Emperor Zhengde said: "The salt affairs of the two Huai and Zhejiang are a hard bone. If the broken slave gnaws down for me, I will promote him by two levels when he comes back. ”

"You Jinyi guards must escort Liang Bohong into Beijing safely. I have enriched the inner treasury, all thanks to Liang Bohong, a corrupt official! ”

Chang Feng said: "The emperor can rest assured. The minister is willing to make a military order. If Liang Bohong is out of the pool, the minister is willing to come to see him. ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "The military order will be exempted." I trust my uncle's abilities. Ahem, my two uncles, if you had half the ability, I would not have been forced to such a level by the civil officials. ”

Chang Feng comforted Emperor Zhengde: "The nature of the two uncles of Shouning Marquis and Jianchang Marquis is not bad. It's just uninhibited and uninhibited. If it is strictly restricted"

Before his death, Emperor Hongzhi raided Zhang Yanling as a marquis. The Zhang family is now a family and two marquis.

Emperor Zhengde waved his hand: "How to restrain it?" If the two guys who even dared to stretch out their hands for the emperor's longevity money hadn't looked at the queen mother, I really wanted those civil officials to eat them alive! ”

"Don't talk about them. Chang Qing, I will give you a solid answer. This year, you will first accumulate strength for me and collect civil and official lawlessness. After changing the era name next year, I will let those who should go go, and the damned people die! ”

At the age of fifteen, the emperor had already made up his mind to break the shackles of civil officials against him.

Chang Feng accompanied Emperor Zhengde to finish dinner in the Qianqing Palace and returned home.

Liu Xiaoyan asked, "How's it going?" ”

Chang Feng smiled: "What else? Liu Jian and Xie Qian compromised. Change my mourning clothes. Tonight I will keep a vigil for Old Tarzan. ”

Liu Xiaoyan said: "According to me, the emperor should remove Liu Jian from his position as the first assistant on the grounds of Liu Jian's misconduct." ”

Chang Feng explained: "It's not so easy to remove him. The prefects, prefects, three divisions, and governors of the world are all civil officials. The emperor has to rely on civil officials to govern the world. Liu Jian is a civilian leader. Wanting to remove Liu Jian is a big game. We must first find a replacement for Liu Jian."

Liu Xiaoyan said: "When you say this, I think of one thing. Liu Jin has a pair named Ziyue, do you remember? ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Remember." This Ziyue is in her thirties and is the old palace maid of Kunning Palace. Last year, because of his age, he left the palace. Liu Jin raised her in the outer house. ”

Liu Xiaoyan said: "If I'm fine, I'll ask Ziyue to come to our house to eat tea, enjoy flowers, and hang hemp." ”

"A few days ago, she went into the house to have tea and said to me, 'My father-in-law doesn't dare to slack off for a moment for business, and the dream words he says when he sleeps are related to business. Last night, when he slept ugly, he said, 'Husband, what do you guess Liu Jin said?' ”

Chang Feng asked: "Don't sell it." I'm not a maggot in Liu Jin's stomach. How do you know what he says in his sleep? ”

Liu Xiaoyan's next words made Chang Feng stunned: "Liu Jin said, 'In the future, the governor will be abolished, and the eunuch will be in charge of the three local divisions. After that, the three divisions were also replaced by eunuchs. The prefect and the prefect were also replaced by eunuchs. ’”

Chang Feng gasped.

What a Liu Jin, what a big ambition! What a big ambition!

He wants to change "civil officials rule the world" to "eunuchs rule the world"!
