After Liu Jin was sad, he thought of the dream that his eldest brother said before his death that his ancestral house was struck by lightning.

This made Liu Jin inexplicably nervous. Could this be some kind of reminder from heaven?

Liu Jin instructed his subordinates to collect the remains of the eldest brother, and explained to Chang Tian to take care of some things in the house. Then he went directly out of the house and rushed into the palace.

Over there in the leopard room, Emperor Zhengde was feasting Qiu Yue, Yang Yiqing, Zhang Yong, and Chang Feng.

After three rounds of drinking, Chang Feng gave Qiu Yue and others a look. was about to launch a fatal blow to Liu Jin.

Liu Jin is back suddenly!

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "Liu Jin, you are back." Just now, Qiu Qing told me in detail about his night attack on the Anhua Palace, which was really exciting. ”

Liu Jin smiled with a smile on his face: "General Qiu is worthy of being the current Wei Qing and Huo Quai. ”

It was almost five o'clock by this time. It stands to reason that Emperor Zhengde invited dinner in the leopard room, and it should be over at three o'clock. After all, His Majesty the Emperor still has to be busy at night with the major events of the Zhu Ming Imperial Family.

But Qiu Yue told Emperor Zhengde about the war one by one. The eyebrows of the person who said it danced, and people listened to it with relish.

This is a big deal for Liu Jin. Tomorrow he has to treat his eldest brother's funeral!

Until the middle of the day, Liu Jin saw that Emperor Zhengde was drunk, and Yang Yiqing, Chang Feng, and Zhang Yong were also drunk. He let his guard down.

Liu Jin said: "Your Majesty, the old slave will retire first." ”

Emperor Zhengde didn't hear what Liu Jin said clearly, but just waved his hand.

Liu Jin left the leopard room.

Chang Feng saw that Liu Jin was gone, and Gu Dayong also left with Liu Jin. He suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty! ”

This shout startled Emperor Zhengde, who was resting on the wine table!

Emperor Zhengde raised his head: "What, what's wrong?" ”

Chang Feng Zhengse said: "Father-in-law Zhang wants to offer you sour plum soup." ”

Emperor Zhengde complained: "Uncle, why are you shocked." I was shocked. I thought King Anhua had escaped from prison. ”

Chang Feng asked Zhang Yongxian to offer sour plum soup, so that Emperor Zhengde could drink sober wine.

Sour plum soup is the first hangover cure from ancient times to the present.

Emperor Zhengde took a drink, and his drunkenness dissipated a little.

Emperor Zhengde raised his glass: "Qiu Qing, let's continue drinking." As the saying goes, a thousand glasses of wine are few for every confidant. When I meet you today, I know myself. ”

Chang Feng shouted again: "Your Majesty! ”

Emperor Zhengde was taken aback again: "I said uncle, what's wrong with you tonight?" A strong shock. ”

Chang Feng said: "The minister has a big event to play!" The king of Anhua has an internal response in the court!"

During the day, on top of the dragon chariot, Qiu Yue said to Emperor Zhengde that there was an internal response of King Anhua in the court, far away in the sky, close at hand, and the implication was already obvious, the so-called internal response was Liu Jin.

At that time, Emperor Zhengde had half a believe, and nine and a half did not believe it.

Emperor Zhengde asked quietly: "Oh? Who should be inside? ”

Chang Feng said: "It's the palm print of the celebrant supervisor, Liu Jin!" ”

"Poof", Emperor Zhengde actually laughed out loud!

Emperor Zhengde said: "Even if everyone in the world rebels, Liu Jin can't rebel!" ”

"Chang Feng, I heard from the queen mother that more than 20 years ago, you raised a dog named Huzi. The tiger will bite when he sees people, but he won't bite you and the county lord of Wanping. Why? You brothers and sisters raise it! ”

The words are not rough. Emperor Zhengde had a clear heart, and his "stand-in" Liu Jin helped him do all the evil things he wanted to do as an emperor but couldn't. He has sinned against all the people of the world.

If Liu Jin thought of rebelling and killing his master. Then he will lose the most important talisman - Emperor Zhengde! At that time, the people of the world will tear Liu Jin into a pulp.

Chang Feng said: "I have conclusive evidence. ”

Emperor Zhengde asked, "Oh? What evidence? ”

Chang Feng clapped his hands. You Jingwu and Basha carried up the box of "Treasures of the Anhua Palace" dedicated to Emperor Zhengde.

Chang Feng opened the box and took out a confession first: "Your Majesty, the minister has already tried King Anhua in the northwest. King Anhua admitted that Liu Jin informed him in advance of the imperial court's strategy for quelling the rebellion and the deployment of troops. This is a confession. ”

After speaking, Chang Feng picked up a bunch of letters: "Your Majesty, this pile is the correspondence between Liu Jin and his henchmen and King Anhua. In the letter, they agreed to 'eradicate the small sect of the Yan Dynasty and restore the large sect of the Jianwen Emperor'. ”

And Liu Jin's letter also corroborated King Anhua's confession. Yang Laoshuai's previous formulation and presentation of the emperor's Shaanxi army's strategy for entering Ning were all written into Liu Jin's letter. ”

After speaking, Chang Feng picked up a gold medal: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the gold medal of the King of Jiangnan that King Anhua is going to award to Liu Jin." ”

According to the confession of the king of Anhua, they agreed in advance that the king of Anhua would raise troops in the northwest, and Liu Jin would be the internal response in the capital. After the deed is done, the world will be divided equally. ”

"King Anhua sits in Jiangbei, and Liu Jin occupies Jiangnan. Nominally, Liu Jin, the king of Jiangnan, wants to bow down to the king of Anhua. ”

Emperor Zhengde looked at Chang Feng suspiciously: "Oh? Is it true? ”

Chang Feng said: "Your Majesty, Liu Jin's participation in the Anhua King's rebellion is full of evidence!" ”

Yang Yiqing, Qiu Yue, and Zhang Yong fell to their knees. The three of them said in unison: "Your Majesty, what Chang Qianhu said is true!" ”

Qiu Yue said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to testify!" More than half a year ago, Liu Jin sent his sworn friends Zhou Dongdu and An Weixue to the northwest, contacted the border generals everywhere, and persuaded the border generals to follow King Anhua to rebel. ”

Emperor Zhengde asked, "Then why didn't you report this matter to the imperial court earlier?" ”

Qiu Yue replied: "Go back to the emperor." Everyone in the world knows that Liu Jin is powerful, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die. ”

"Even if there is conclusive evidence at that time, the minister did not dare to report it. The minister was afraid that Liu Jin's performance of impeachment would be intercepted by him when he sent it to the General Administration Department in the capital. The emperor couldn't see it at all. The minister himself will fall into a place of uncertainty. ”

The reason Qiu Yue said is reasonable and well-founded, and it is not something that the old rough general can make up at all. Naturally, this is what Changfeng teaches.

Now Emperor Zhengde admires Qiu Yue very much. Qiu Yue's "testimony" carries a lot of weight in the leopard's room.

Yang Yiqing said: "The minister is also willing to testify." As soon as the minister arrived in the northwest, a large number of border generals told the minister that Liu Jin's dead friends Zhou Dongdu and An Weixue had wooed them to follow King Anhua to rebel! ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "Present the gold medal and letter, and I will take a look." ”

After reading the thick stack of letters and gold medals, Emperor Zhengde was greatly surprised. The handwriting of these letters is exactly the same as that of Liu Jin, Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, Liu Ji and others.

Emperor Zhengde frowned: "My master of ceremonies, the second assistant of the cabinet, the secretary of the military department, and the secretary of the household department all participated in the rebellion?" ”

At this time, Emperor Zhengde had already believed in four points.

Yang Yiqing said: "If it weren't for Qiu Yue's surprise attack to win, the king of Anhua would be captured alive." The consequences are unimaginable! The internal minister, the second assistant, the summer official, and the local official are all his internal responses. King Anhua is like an extra 300,000 out of thin air, oh no, an army of 500,000! ”

Chang Feng continued to add oil and vinegar: "Your Majesty, the minister said a few words of death." Please don't pursue it. ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "Speak." ”

Chang Feng said again: "Xu Guangzuo is the descendant of Xu Zengshou, the Duke of Dingguo. He once told his ministers about the unknown inside story of the Battle of Jingjing. ”

He said that during the Battle of Ruojing, there was no Li Jinglong, who led the troops in front, and Xu Zengshou in Yingtian City. Grandmaster Tai couldn't enter Yingtian City. ”

Emperor Zhengde frowned: "Do you want to say that Liu Jin is Xu Zengshou who secretly communicated with the Yan Army during the Jing Dynasty?" ”

"Bang Bang!" Chang Feng was pumping his three big pockets: "Your Majesty, ministers shouldn't be like this." The minister was wrong. ”

Emperor Zhengde gasped. According to the report of Chang Feng and others, this time it is indeed very suspenseful. If it weren't for the surprise of his brother Qiu Yue, he would have been buried in the fire like Emperor Jianwen.

At this time, Emperor Zhengde had already believed five points.

Zhang Yong kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty, Liu Jin is going to take your world!" ”

Emperor Zhengde's face regained the drunkenness he had just now, and he smiled slightly: "Let him take the world." Let's continue drinking and having fun. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Yiqing, Zhang Yong, Qiu Yue and Chang Feng looked at each other.

That's it?

Your Majesty, you don't care?

All the previous efforts to frame Liu Jin have come to naught?

Absolutely not!

At the critical moment, Chang Feng showed the ability of an old fritter who had waited for two generations of emperors and figured out the emperor's heart clearly.

Chang Feng actually disobeyed the etiquette, and looked up at Emperor Zhengde: "Your Majesty, you said that the world is up to Liu Jin to take it." Dare to ask Liu Jin what to do after winning the world? ”

Emperor Zhengde was stunned.

Chang Feng actually stood up: "Your Majesty, do you want to learn from Emperor Jianwen, set a fire in the palace, and pretend to burn yourself to death." Then go incognito and find a quiet place to be a monk in an unknown place? ”

"How can you complete your great ambition in the Beiding Grassland?"

Emperor Zhengde stared at the disrespectful Chang Feng and said nothing.

Chang Feng then made up another knife: "There is one more thing, the emperor doesn't know." The minister has been secretly investigating for the past two years. Liu Jin embezzled and bribed the silver, no less than eight million taels! ”

"It's enough for the emperor to launch a northern expedition of 300,000 people!"

"For the sake of the puppet prince of the king of Jiangnan, Liu Jin is willing to give all eight million taels of silver to the king of Anhua as a military salary!"

Emperor Zhengde was completely shocked! Liu Jin seems to him to be a piggy bank and a pig.

Now the piggy bank is full, and the pigs are fattened. Liu Jin actually wants to give away a huge fortune to the king of Anhua?

What other flowers do I take? You know, Liu Jin's money is all my money! My money!

"Boom"! I don't know which one owes it, but tonight I put the copper splendor handed down by the two generations of emperors on the wine table of Emperor Zhengde.

Isn't this convenient for Emperor Zhengde to wrestle and Long Xiao's quality second company?

Emperor Zhengde fell out of bronze, and a dragon roared: "Deceive the sky!" ”

"Liu Jin damn it! Damn it! Damn it! ”

"Catch! Catch the wind! ”

Chang Feng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, who are you going to arrest?" ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "Arrest Liu Jin!" Catch Jiao Fang! Catch Liu Yu! Catch Liu Ji! Catch Zhang Cai! Arrest the Emperor and his henchmen! ”

Chang Feng began to play chicken thieves, and asked Emperor Zhengde for officials: "Your Majesty, the ministers are only 1,000 households in the East Factory District." To arrest these high-ranking and powerful people, the official position and power of the ministers are obviously not high enough. ”

Emperor Zhengde glared at Chang Feng: "Uncle, are you reaching out to me to ask for an official?" Good! I'll give it to you! ”

"I have appointed you as the acting governor of the Chinese army, concurrently serving as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and leading the commander of the twelve regiments and battalions!"

"Jinyi Guard, the Twelve Regiment Battalion, I will leave it to you! Kyoshi immediately imposed martial law! In case Liu Jin's henchmen make trouble! ”

"In addition, immediately rush to Liu Jin's mansion and arrest Liu Jin! You have to raid Liu Jin's family property tonight! One or two are handed over to the inner carrier! ”

"Yang Yiqing, I have made you the secretary of the ministry, and the prince is the young protector. The interrogation of Liu Jin is entrusted to you! ”

"Zhang Yong, I have appointed you as the master of ceremonies, and I am also in charge of the imperial horse supervisor. You are in charge of interrogating Liu Jin's henchmen! ”

Chang Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, don't you love money, Your Majesty? Then I'll do what I like.

Chang Feng said: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that not only Liu Jin's family property should be confiscated, but also the family property of Liu Jin's henchmen. Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, and Liu Ji are quite famous in the officialdom. ”

"The sum of the silver they are greedy for should be no less than Liu Jin! That's all the emperor's money, your money! ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "Yes! Those people's money will be copied to the inner carrier warehouse! One or two is not less! Aren't they greedy? I made them destitute! ”

Chang Feng said again: "Your Majesty, these wills you just made need to have a clear will, and the ministers can do it." ”

It was Yang Tinghe who was in charge of the draft, and he was not in the leopard room.

Zhang Yong arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the old slave heard that the first assistant Li Dongyang and the cabinet member Yang Tinghe are diligent in government affairs and have done their best. At this time, government affairs are handled in the West Garden duty room. Why don't you let them come to the leopard room to draw up a clear purpose? ”

Emperor Zhengde suddenly laughed: "Heh, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe are waiting for you to persuade me tonight, what about killing tigers and hunting eunuchs?" ”

"Well, I have done what you wanted. Zhang Yong, go to Xiyuan to be on duty, and call Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe to draft the purpose! ”

Emperor Zhengde has only believed that Liu Jin rebelled until this time.

But as an emperor, it is not only those who have rebelled to be eradicated. It is also necessary to eradicate all those who are capable of rebellion.

Liu Jin now obviously has the ability to rebel.

Hengzhi is a first-year pig, and sooner or later it will be killed. Then tie up the pigs tonight!

Zhang Yong jumped up from the ground like an agile toad, almost all the way to the leopard room, and rushed to the Xiyuan duty room.

In the Xiyuan room, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe were sitting with incense burning, without saying a word.

They knew that the outcome of the decisive battle against Emperor Li would be determined tonight.

Zhang Yong ran in: "Li Shoufu, Yang Ge Lao, hurry, hurry!" ”

Li Dongyang asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Yong gasped: "Liu Jin, Liu Jin, Liu Jin he, he, he"

Li Dongyang grabbed Zhang Yong's sleeve in a hurry: "How is Liu Jin?" ”

Zhang Yong said loudly: "Liu Jin, he's finished!" Hurry up and go to the leopard room, while the emperor hasn't changed his mind, hurry! ”

Li Dongyang, a sixty-four-year-old man, lifted the hem of his official robe and rushed to the leopard room. It's just the momentum of Usain Bolt's 100-meter race.

Even the "strong man Zhang" and Yang Tinghe, who was in the prime of life, were left far behind by him.

Half an hour later, the Jinyi Guard was in office.

Chang Feng led You Jingwu and Basha into Jinyiwei in stride. He hadn't set foot here in a long time.

Chang Feng roared: "Those who are on duty at night, get up for me!" ”

Huang Hongye, the envoy of Nanzhen who was on duty at night, was the confidant of Zhang Cai, who commanded Tongzhi Zhang Cai.

Huang Zhen stroked his sleepy eyes and came to Chang Feng: "I said Chang Qianhu, you don't stay in Dongchang, what's the matter with running to our Jinyiwei in the middle of the night and yelling?" ”

"Papapapa", You Jingwu opened the bow left and right, and slapped Huang Zhenfu's four big mouths.

Chang Feng sneered: "You also deserve to say 'our Jinyiwei'?" From today onwards, Jinyiwei is back to me! Hurry up and send someone to the mansions of Qian Ning, Zhang Cai, and Shi Wenyi, and call them all to Weili, I have a holy decree to read! ”

Two quarters of an hour later, Qian Ning, Zhang Cai, and Shi Wenyi came to Jinyiwei.

Chang Feng picked up the holy decree: "Decree." Qian Ning, Zhang Cai, and Shi Wenyi were temporarily dismissed from their positions. Chang Feng served as the commander of Jinyiwei, and You Jingwu acted as the commander of Zuo Tongzhi and the envoy of Beizhen; Basha is the acting commander of the right Tongzhi and the envoy of the southern town. Chin this! ”
