As if he had seen through the will of heaven, everything developed as Yan Yuan expected.

After Zhu Houzhao retired from the court, the matter was far from over.

This time the Japanese talk incident really provoked the already upright Liu Jian, as well as Xie Qian and others.

After all, the Japanese talk about it, but the courtiers taught the emperor the way to govern the country and instilled Confucianism, how could they tolerate being disturbed!

Coupled with the many illegal things they had done before bewitching Zhu Houzhao, the culprit Eight Tigers was finally condemned as "must kill" in the hearts of the ministers.

The cabinet began to shake people, ready to rush them.

However, when they invited some nobles who had always been friends with them to destroy the Eight Tigers with a thunderous blow, only the British Duke responded, and the rest of the nobles were all hesitant and refused to express their position.

This gave Liu Jian a bad feeling, but after thinking about it, it was just a few eunuchs, could they still not handle it?

So soon after, the cabinet officially sent a letter to the Eight Tigers.

"The ministers are waiting for the list of sins, and the autumn of the lord's young country is suspicious, looking up at the dry elephant, looking down on the matter, as for the sigh in the middle of the night, and the people who cry before eating are repeated."

……

"This generation of fine people, only know how to bewitch the king to do private things, but do not know the emperor's life, the great cause of the ancestors, all in His Majesty."

"The former ancient eunuchs misled the country, the ten permanent servants of the Han Dynasty, and the change of Tang manna is its clear test!"

"Please punish Liu Jin and others!"

A sternly worded letter was in front of the emperor, and it looked like it was going to force the palace.

And the Eight Tigers, who got the news, were immediately frightened and peed their pants, and they ran around Emperor Zhengde, and cried around him, constantly kowtowing, crying, and saying:

"Liu Jian, they just want to show your majesty their strength by killing us! We are just accompanying His Majesty to tease the birds, strolling around the garden, what delay can there be in the court! ”

Zhu Houzhao listened to their words, nodded his head constantly, and as they spoke, the hesitation on his face that had been caused by seeing the song dissipated, and was replaced by anger.

"These courtiers, deceiving the young, have no king's law, they are really hateful!" He said angrily.

Zhu Houzhao immediately issued an edict, rejecting the ministers' superiors, and appointed Liu Jin as the eunuch of the celebrant and the seal on the spot, Ma Yong became the governor of Dongchang, and all the Eight Tigers were promoted and received considerable power.

The sadness on the faces of the Eight Tigers was swept away, and they immediately thanked them, and then left, now that they were in power, revenge was about to begin.

At this time, the west factory has also been reopened, and the east and west factories have been launched with all their strength by Gu Dayong, which is not covered.

All of a sudden, Ti rode out in all directions, collecting information about his courtiers everywhere.

After being an official for so many years, there are really not many people who have no stain at all.

Even if there is, East and West No. 2 Factory, as long as you go in, what do the fans inside want you to explain, don't you have to explain obediently?

Liu Jin easily got a large pile of news of the officials' misdeeds and reported them to the emperor.

Looking at the "tired" charges of the ministers, Zhu Houzhao was furious!

He immediately ordered Liu Jin to continue to investigate and purge the court, which was simply an endorsement of Liu Jin's behavior and gave him a justifiable reason for the whole person.

Liu Jin himself is also a person who can do things, you must know that this person not only has some cleverness, but also is quite knowledgeable about ancient and modern, and is the most literate one among the Eight Tigers.

Eunuchs are educated, but it is not necessarily a good thing.

Liu Jin's ambition, along with the growth of his power, grew like weeds together.

Under his persecution, Liu Jian and Xie Qian were forced to submit their resignations and resign, and only Li Dongyang was saved because he did not explicitly participate in this matter.

And Liu Jin was able to lean towards the government and the opposition in the future, and under his black-box operation, Li Dongyang was promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet to show his support.

And Emperor Zhengde seems to be really addicted to fun, ignoring the various behaviors of the Eight Tigers, in this case, Liu Jin's power is becoming more and more terrifying, and there are even many civil officials who have taken refuge in this eunuch they usually look down on, and act for the tiger.

In just a few months, Liu Jin suddenly changed from a lonely and unknown person to a pivotal part of the court, and after that, his greed was also shown, accepting bribes, installing cronies, and being unscrupulous.

Many people were frightened by him and did not dare to resist.

However, among this group of ministers, there are many enthusiastic and fearless people.

……

In a modest room, a thin official, in his early thirties, was sleeping soundly.

If anyone could enter his dream, they would see that the official was in a misty place at this time.

In front of him, there stood a white-robed guest whose face could not be seen clearly.

"Who are you and where is this?" The official said vigilantly.

"You're going to die." The white-robed guest did not answer, but instead said this sentence in an indifferent tone, the tone was affirmative, as if he was stating a fact.

The official was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly:

"The ancients said that 'thinking about the day and dreaming at night', it is true, I thought about impeaching Liu Jin, and I would definitely be retaliated against by him, but I didn't expect to dream of these."

He didn't wait for a response, but he could feel a pair of eyes looking at him through the mist that covered his face.

"You're going to die."

The voice sounded again, with great certainty.

"Liu Jin will not let you go, if you dare to violate his authority when this group of ministers bows down, he will use your head to kill chickens and monkeys."

When the official heard this, he chuckled in a low voice:

"It seems that deep down in my heart, I am still afraid of death......"

Then he raised his head, as if to announce something, and said in a loud voice:

"I am twenty years old, twenty-eight is a jinshi, and I have been six years old since I joined the Ministry of Engineering."

"Ten years of cold windows, conscientious and conscientious, in order to establish a life for the people, stabilize the world, and show their ambitions, not to come to this court to obey the orders of the traitorous party, bow down to the ears, and be a lackey under the eunuch door!"

"Big husband, do something, don't do something!"

"Death is death, what is there to fear!"

Every word, loud and sound, surrounds between the clouds and mist.

There was silence on the other side.

"It's you, it's you......" It took a long time for the official to hear a murmuring voice from the other side.

"After you go to the book, Liu Jin will not allow you, he will not kill you openly but only belittle you, but secretly he will definitely send assassins."

"If there is a crisis, you can go to the tea shop ten miles away from Beijing for help."

By the time the last sentence was spoken, the voice had already echoed in the clouds, and the official felt as if his body had suddenly stepped into the air, and he had fallen suddenly.

"Whew!" He sat up from his bed and turned his head, but it was still dark and it was not yet dawn.

"What a real dream." Wiping his forehead, he muttered.

Lighting the oil lamp, the officer picked up the music on the desk, examined it one last time, and then closed it gently.

Liu Jin, they are all afraid of you, but I am not afraid!

On the cover of the song, the names of the officials flickered in the light of the fire.

Director of the Military Department.

Wang Shouren.
