It is necessary not only to have witnesses, letters, but also physical evidence.

Chang Feng took You Jingwu and Basha and spent a day copying the Anhua Palace.

Qiu Yue's servants were quite generous, and they left 1,800 taels of silver and 50 taels of gold for the palace.

Chang Feng estimated that Qiu Yue and the others had at least swept away one million silver from the Anhua Palace. Because after the king of Anhua raised his army, he seized the silver treasury of the four prefectures and twenty-one counties.

The fifty taels of gold are a gold ingot.

Chang Feng and You Jingwu took the gold ingots and found the most famous goldsmith style Zhang in Anhua City.

Seeing that the two of them were wearing official clothes, Zhang hurriedly surrendered his hand: "What's the matter with the two adults?" ”

Chang Feng asked, "Can you cast a gold medal here?" ”

Style Zhang replied: "The two adults laughed. Gold medals are much easier to cast than jewelry! If I can't even cast a gold medal in this gold shop, then what's the point of opening? ”

"I don't know what gold medal you want to cast? Longevity? Many happy returns? ”

Chang Feng said: "Neither." I'll let you cast a gold medal. ”

After speaking, Chang Feng took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "Just cast according to the words on this paper." Pattern, there must be a dragon and a tiger. ”

Style Zhang looked at the piece of paper, only to see that it was written: "Emperor Ming Qin, Jiangnan King Liu Jin made a gold medal, a thousand years of happiness." ”

Chang Feng wants to add a new physical evidence to Liu Jin's participation in the rebellion. The gold medal is the physical evidence!

Style Zhang was puzzled: "The prince of the Ming Dynasty has a surname Liu?" It's the first time I've heard of it. ”

Since ancient times, wealth has touched people's hearts. Chang Feng dispelled Shi Zhang's doubts in a few words: "Fifty taels of gold will be given to you." All I need is a gold medal of twenty taels of gold. The rest will be used as your craft money. ”

According to the rules of goldsmiths' shops, the wage for making gold jewelry is "1 out of 40". That is, one-fortieth of the amount of yellow is taken as a reward.

Chang Feng directly gave him thirty taels of gold, and he had been a goldsmith for so many years, and it was the first time he had encountered such a good thing.

Style Zhang said: "Cheng." Wrap it up on me! The two of you will be able to pick up your goods tomorrow morning. ”

Chang Feng threatened Zhang: "These thirty taels of gold are not only wages, but also hush money." If this matter leaks out half a word. I'll kill your whole family. ”

Style Zhang immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes." I understand that I will definitely keep my mouth shut about the things entrusted by the government. ”

Chang Feng and You Jingwu left the goldsmith's shop.

You Jingwu said: "Father-in-law, you are ruthless enough. Even the princely gold medal given to Liu Jin by King Anhua is ready. ”

Chang Feng said: "The way to plant stolen goods, either not planting, planting or planting, planting will be killed." You have to falsify the evidence. ”

You Jingwu was speechless: "Now Liu Jin is dead." ”

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "Wrong." He wasn't dead or dead. Whether he dies or not depends on the emperor. If the emperor doesn't want him to die, don't say that Liu Jin is a fake rebellion. Even if you really rebel, you can still get away with it. ”

"We are doing our best now, and we will be at the mercy of heaven in the end." 'Heaven' is the heaven of the Son of Heaven. ”

You Jingwu showed a worried look on his face: "If the righteous father said this, if things fail, wouldn't we be in a deep unpredictable place?" ”

Chang Feng bowed slightly: "The political struggle in the court has always been your death and my death." This time, if Liu Jin doesn't die, it will be me, Yang Yiqing, and Zhang Yong. ”

The two returned to the Anhua Palace.

Yang Yiqing came to Chang Feng: "I have arranged it." Tomorrow we will return to Beijing and offer prisoners. I have ordered someone to send it out. ”

There is a full 2,200 miles from Anhua City to the capital.

Daming's 800 miles expedited is said to be 800 miles, but in fact, it can only reach the speed of 600 miles a day.

Four days later, the good news arrived in the capital.

Leopard room.

Emperor Zhengde was studying the map of the northwest with Jiang Bin, figuring out the strategy submitted by Yang Yiqing before leaving Beijing.

Emperor Zhengde said: "Yang Yiqing is worthy of the old commander who led the troops. The strategy of using soldiers is as stable as Mount Tai! It's just that I think it's still a bit risky to use soldiers. ”

Jiang Bin disagreed with Emperor Zhengde's point of view: "Father. In this battle, our army had the upper hand. We should win steadily! Taking risks is never the best policy. ”

Jiang Bin was twenty years older than Emperor Zhengde. But he recognized Emperor Zhengde as his godfather, and called him "Father".

At this moment, Liu Jin ran in happily: "Your Majesty, great victory!" Northwest victory! ”

Emperor Zhengde frowned: "Great victory? How long has it been? Even if King Anhua's subordinates are all pigs, tens of thousands of pigs can't be caught so quickly by Yang Yiqing! ”

Liu Jin said with a smile: "This is the emperor's respect for heaven and love for the people, and he has been blessed!" What a victory it is! King Anhua was captured alive! I'm on my way to the capital! ”

After speaking, Liu Jin presented the list of meritorious service and meritorious service.

Yang Yiqing did not take credit at all in reporting the victory, and wrote clearly that the suppression of the rebellion of King Anhua this time relied on Qiu Yue's surprise attack on the enemy's nest.

Emperor Zhengde carefully read the recital, and then laughed and said: "Haha, I still have such a brave general in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty!" It's simply characters like Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, and Zhao Zilong! ”

"Qiu Yue, this person can really be described as the first fierce general of the Zhengde Dynasty!"

Emperor Zhengde was actually wrong, and a few years later, he would prove that Qiu Yue was not the first fierce general of the Zhengde Dynasty. Emperor Zhengde is!

Liu Jin heard that Emperor Zhengde praised Qiu Yue so much, and secretly calculated in his heart: When Qiu Yue enters Beijing, I must think of ways to win him over.

This impromptu idea will cause Liu Jin to lose his life.

Emperor Zhengde said again: "Let the cabinet draw up the decree!" Qiu Yue was promoted to the acting governor of the capital, and he was appointed as the general of Ningxia. Feng Xian Ningbo! Special entry into Dr. Ronglu and Zhuguo. Bestow a hereditary certificate! ”

Before King Anhua's rebellion, Qiu Yue was just a small deputy commander-in-chief. In the status of the Ming generals, there may be one or two hundred, and they are not counted at all.

Emperor Zhengde's holy decree made Qiu Yue's status rank in the top ten generals.

Just a count rank puts him among the nobles.

Emperor Zhengde said: "In addition, I will give Qiu Yue my Shang Fang horse chopping knife with the order!" When Qiu Yue arrives in Beijing, I will go out of the capital for ten miles to greet him and see the demeanor of the first fierce general of the Ming Dynasty! ”

After speaking, Emperor Zhengde gave the song to Jiang Bin: "Take a look." ”

Jiang Bin also sighed after reading it: "I really didn't expect it. didn't use Yang Laoshuai and Shaanxi Jun at all. Qiu Yue took a hundred servants and put down the rebellion! The father emperor is the first promising monarch since Pangu opened the world. Naturally, good will be assisted. I'm invincible tomorrow! ”

Jiang Bin was a rainbow fart, and Emperor Zhengde was quite useful: "Haha." When Qiu Yue enters Beijing, I want to drink with him! In the future, when I sweep through the steppes and solve the Tatar problem once and for all, I will make him a forward general! ”

Liu Jin, who didn't know how to die, saw Emperor Zhengde Long Yan Dayue, and almost forgot that he forced him to rebel against King Anhua. He said: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that you make an order to order the people of the capital to hang red silk and red belts to celebrate the victory in the northwest!" ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "Good, good! Such a beautiful victory should be celebrated by the whole world! ”

Liu Jin came out of the leopard room and finished the holy decree. He instructed his henchmen: "You help me remember, let the account room prepare 100,000 taels of silver." I'm going to give it away. ”

Xiao Eun was stunned for a moment: "You said. Giving away? Is it for the eldest lady? ”

Liu Jin is a well-known big pixiu, and he doesn't pull it when he eats dry. In addition to giving silver to the righteous daughter Chang Tian, how have you ever seen him give silver to others?

Liu Jin shook his head slightly: "No." It was given to General Qiu who had returned victorious. Such a fierce general, I want to make good friends with him. ”

Knowing Liu Jin is not the same as the wind. Two thousand miles to the northwest.

Chang Feng and the others rode horses and escorted the king of Anhua and his family back to the capital.

Chang Feng smiled and said: "Master Qiu, after you enter Beijing, someone will give you silver and call you a brother." ”

Qiu Yue asked, "Who?" ”

Chang Feng replied: "Liu Jin." If my expectations are correct, the emperor will treat you as a guest. You will become the number one celebrity in front of the emperor. Liu Jin will try his best to win you over. ”

"He will give you at least 100,000 taels of silver. And even more. ”

Qiu Yue scolded: "! What about the gelding thing giving me silver? If he hadn't sent two dogs to the northwest, how could King Anhua rebel? ”

"Lao Tzu won the battle and put down the rebellion, which was lucky. Before the subordinates mutinied and defected to the king of Anhua, Lao Tzu almost moved his head! It's all Liu Jin's harm! ”

"Look at me when I enter Beijing, don't fan this gelding dog with two big ears!"

Chang Feng said: "If you want to seek revenge on Liu Jin, you have to listen to me when you enter Beijing." I have a way to get your revenge. ”

Qiu Yue nodded: "Our old enemy is a rough man." I have heard of the depth of the water in the capital, but I don't understand the twists and turns of the court. When I entered Beijing, I listened to Chang Shuaiye. ”

"We have recovered Helan Mountain with the old marshal of King Weiningbo, and we are true brothers who have fought side by side!"

Yang Yiqing interjected on the side: "Chang Shuai Ye is an old sparrow in the court. There is absolutely nothing good for you listening to him, and there is no harm. ”

Qiu Yue suddenly asked, "Oh yes. I've heard that there are a lot of kiln shops in the capital. What a mother, what an aunt, what a mother, what an aunt. It's much easier to play than the earthen kilns in the northwest. ”

"This time in Beijing, you have to lead me to play a good trick."

Zhang Yong is a serious eunuch and doesn't know the doorway. He asked, "What is a mother and an aunt, a mother and an aunt?" ”

Chang Feng explained: "He is talking about Yangzhou Skinny Horse, Datong Aunt Mother-in-law, West Lake Boat Niang, and Taishan Sister-in-law. Cheng, the most famous green building in the capital is called Yihong Mansion. ”

"That Yihong Mansion has forty percent of the shares of my brother in life and death, Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo. When the time comes, I'll let Xu Guangzuo lead you to have a good look. ”

Qiu Yue said: "That's decided!" Let's open the meat this time, and taste what the girls in the capital are like! ”

Yang Yiqing coughed in embarrassment.

Qiu Yue smiled: "Look, what am I doing in front of Yang Laoshuai." ”

Qiu Yue is very straightforward, and he doesn't have many fancy intestines of civil officials. Chang Feng likes this person very much.

Everyone talked and laughed, and the conversation was very speculative.

On the side of the capital, Liu Jin intended to make friends with Qiu Yue. didn't expect Qiu Yue to regard him as an enemy.

North of the city, Li Dongyang's mansion.

Li Dongyang was having a secret conversation with Yang Tinghe over tea.

Li Dongyang said: "The battle in the northwest has been won. My in-laws' preparations for planting should have been completed. ”

Yang Tinghe said: "I have contacted more than a dozen good protégés. At that time, they will play a concert and impeach Liu Jin for participating in the rebellion. ”

Over the years, batch after batch of civil officials have participated in the impeachment of Liu Jin like moths to a fire. Their fate is often to be arrested and imprisoned, and life is worse than death.

However, the civil officials who went forward and succeeded still showed their unremitting strength.

In the final analysis, it was Liu Jin who moved the interests of civil officials. And not just a little bit, but all of them!

Liu Jin has now begun to implement the duties and powers of the town guard eunuch acting as the governor and the supervising eunuch acting as the three divisions.

Let Liu Jin make trouble for a few more years, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be managed by eunuchs from provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties.

The eunuchs will completely replace the civil officials and become the masters of the empire.

The civil officials didn't look for Liu Jin to play with their lives.

Li Dongyang said: "No, don't let the civil officials play the impeachment. Five years ago, Liu Jian and Xie Qian suppressed the emperor too hard. The emperor still has a heartfelt rejection of civil officials. ”

"The matter of impeaching Liu Jin for rebellion has to be handed over to my in-laws."

Yang Tinghe said: "Well, it makes sense. How do I think, this time we will treat Chang Ye as a knife? ”

Li Dongyang waved his hand: "Chang Feng will not be anyone's knife." Or rather, no one can use him as a sword. Whoever he wants to kill, no one can stop him. Whoever he wants to protect, no one can move. ”

Night. The Lord's Mansion of Wanping County.

Chang Tian suddenly woke up from his sleep and let out a miserable scream: "Ah! ”

Huang Yuan got up: "Tang'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Chang Tian clutched his chest: "I, I have a nightmare." ”

Huang Yuan asked, "What nightmare scared you like this?" ”

Chang Tian replied: "I dreamed that my father-in-law was tied to a big pillar and covered in blood. There was an executioner with a knife that cut his flesh. ”

Huang Yuandao: "Isn't it a good thing that the first traitor in the court was cut off?" ”

Chang Tian said: "I don't care if he is a traitor or a virtuous eunuch." In my case, a father is a father! ”

"I don't understand the big things you men. All I know is that my stepfather has taken care of me as a daughter since I was a child. ”

"No, I'll have to give him a heads-up tomorrow. This does not bode well. ”

Huang Yuan said to Chang Tian with a serious face: "Don't give him any wake-up." Let me tell you, this time it is either your stepfather who dies, or your own brother who dies. ”

"Above the court, there can only be one between them!"

Chang Tian said: "Isn't there room for relaxation?" ”

Huang Yuandao: "Since ancient times, treachery and evil have not been separated. You must not get involved in the matter between your brother and Liu Jin. And not a woman's kindness. You saved Liu Jin's life once before, and you don't owe him. ”

After speaking, Huang Yuan got up, put on his clothes, and walked to the bookcase.

There is a note on the bookcase. The content of the note is that Huang Yuan asked Emperor Zhengde to demote him to the rank of Libu Langzhong. The reason is that he is too junior to be qualified for the position of the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

For the same content, Chang Ponu also prepared a copy. Chang Ponu asked Emperor Zhengde to demote him from Shuntianfu Yin to the county commander.

These two letters were prepared in advance by Chang Feng.

The two of them were promoted too quickly by Liu Jin. was able to retreat into advance and protect himself in this earth-shattering political tide.

Changfu. Liu Xiaoyan and Mrs. Nine were not idle.

The two gathered the things that Liu Jin had sent over the years into the backyard.

The Ninth Lady poured fire oil on it. Liu Xiaoyan threw the torch up. Suddenly, a fire broke out in the backyard.

Liu Xiaoyan sighed: "Alas, after so many years of love, how can a fire burn clean?" ”

The Ninth Lady said, "Yes." The old man and Father-in-law Liu, why did they go to the field where water and fire are incompatible? ”

Liu Xiaoyan said: "The imperial court is like this. Today they are friends, tomorrow they may become enemies. What's more, he and Liu Jin have known each other for twenty-five years. ”

"I was good enough to wear a pair of pants. Now I can't wait to dig out the other party's heart, liver and lungs. ”

The Ninth Lady said: "I hope God bless the master, this time there is no danger, and he will complete what he wants to accomplish." ”
