Chapter 360: The Queen Mother
Seeing that Ma Yongcheng had already gone to check on Ma Fengyue, Liu Jin looked at Wei Bin and said: "Do you mean to say that this Xu Zilong and Xu Guangzuo have a good personal relationship, and Xu Zilong is the old department of King An, and he wants to marry the daughter of King An! But Xu Guangzuo made Zhang Mao and Zhu Fu agree with Xu Zilong's control of the Hetao through his own relationship! Because of these, the Hetao counselor I sent out was jointly sniped by them?"
"With humble and humble opinions, and the time to consult with Gu Gonggong, it should be so!" Wei Bin nodded and said, Gu Dayong on the other side also nodded immediately, obviously the vassal king he just talked about was naturally King An.
"Hey! What a King An! I set up such a strategy last time, but I didn't bring him down, I didn't expect this guy to dare to act like this!" Liu Jin couldn't help but lightly pat the table in his hand, and this palm was slapped, and he actually sent out an inch-deep handprint on the table. But there is nothing wrong with the table, obviously this Liu Jin's martial arts has reached the point where it can be collected and released, which is extremely terrifying.
"For today's plan, please ask Liu Gong to take an idea!" Wei Bin couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he saw Liu Jin like this, and immediately clenched his fists and said, "Why don't you plant another crime for Na'an Wang Lao'er, and then order the factory guard to go and get someone!"
"How can this be?" Liu Jin hadn't said yet, Gao Feng took the lead in objecting, "King An is the king of the Ming Dynasty, and since Taizong, no vassal king has been killed! If we kill King An without permission, and the matter is leaked, I am afraid that not only a few of us will fall to the ground, but also our relatives and relatives will all be miserably affected! How dare you do this!"
Gao Feng has a special status among the Eight Tigers, even Liu Jin saluted him for three points, and now that he was not allowed to speak, Wei Bin had to shake his head and pout, but he didn't say anything. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Liu Jin couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Wugang Gong, Xiao Wei is just young and vigorous! I am a close servant of the Son of Heaven, and we think about the Son of Heaven in everything, so naturally we will not do such a rebellious thing!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Jin scolded Wei Bin again: "Wei Bin, how can you have such a rebellious thought, why don't you quickly admit your mistake to Wugang!" In fact, if you want to say that you are ruthless, among the eight tigers, no one can be more ruthless than Liu Jin! But Liu Jin is the deepest in the city, and he has a smiling face on weekdays, and only when he shows his lore, can he find out his ruthlessness. Therefore, he never made such suggestions in public, and he would do them and say them after he had done them.
Wei Bin was relatively young, and he was reckless and offended Gao Feng, and with Liu Jin's mediation at this time, he couldn't help but lower his head, and said with some frustration: "Wugang Gong, Xiao Wei has no words, please calm Wugang Gong's anger!"
"Well! You and I are both close servants of the Son of Heaven, but we must serve the Son of Heaven well! King An is the uncle of the Son of Heaven and the emperor's uncle in terms of seniority! When the first emperor was there, he praised King An a lot and praised King An as the virtuous king of the Ming Dynasty! You must remember not to use this crooked brain in the future! Although King An and I have political disagreements, we must not harm his life so recklessly!" Gao Feng also taught Wei Bin a lesson by relying on the old and selling the old.
This Wei Bin has the least seniority, so he naturally nodded in response, and didn't dare to say anything. Liu Jin was quite unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it, and after Gao Feng finished reprimanding, he slowly said: "Okay, since Wei Bin knows his mistake, let's do it first!"
"Then according to Liu Gong's opinion, today's court, Qingliu civil officials and meritorious relatives are in trouble together, how should we deal with it?" Gu Dayong asked again.
"Now the matter of Yu Feng and the matter of Ningxia are not completely clear, and we don't know the next actions of the Qingliu civil officials and meritorious relatives for the time being, so let's do this for the time being! Dayong, you give me a good monitor on Li Dongyang and them, and if there is any news, report it to me immediately! After everything is clear, I naturally have a counterattack! Since they have all jumped out this time, I must also fight back, otherwise I will be sorry for these people!" Liu Jin thought for a moment before finally deciding. Originally, he was still going to fight back immediately after he came back, but when it came to the end, he suddenly found that things were not as simple as he thought, and it was not so easy for Qingliu civil officials and meritorious relatives to join forces, so he decided at the moment.
Gu Dayong naturally took the order, and after a short time, the other Eight Tiger members arrived, and Liu Jin didn't say much, but after dealing with the current affairs first, he ended the discussion.
After the deliberations were over, Liu Jin left the celebrant and went straight to Cining Palace! This court battle above the court not only made Liu Jin see the danger, but also discovered a lot of opportunities! Although it was very frightening for the Qingliu civil officials and their meritorious relatives to jump out together, Liu Jin was not without a way to deal with it. The premise is to find enough confrontational forces to smash the joint efforts of civil and military officials.
Liu Jin deeply understood that as long as he defeated the civil and military officials again this time, he would be able to maintain peace for at least nearly 10 years! And having 10 years to plan for himself, his own martial arts plan, garrison plan, and a series of other measures could ensure the stability of his position. At that time, although he could not usurp power and seize the throne, he was truly stable and stable, and he was no longer as he is now, and he could overturn at any time.
And Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Zhang, is a powerful support that Liu Jin can win! Emperor Hongzhi has only officially canonized one empress in his life, and that is this Empress Dowager Zhang. Therefore, although Empress Dowager Zhang has lived in the deep palace for a long time and does not care about world affairs, in fact, in the hands of Empress Dowager Zhang, she has a lot of influence. Not to mention anything else, just Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and other cabinet ministers, King An, King Qing, Dai Wang and other Ming princes who hold real power, as well as Shouning Marquis and other noble relatives, are all respectful to Empress Dowager Zhang. If it weren't for the fact that Empress Dowager Zhang was dedicated to living in peace and didn't want to interfere in the government, I was afraid that in this court dispute, there would be another rear party!
If Empress Dowager Zhang supports Liu Jin, then Liu Jin's many measures, even Li Dongyang will not be able to interfere, and Zhang Mao and Zhu Fu will also take care of the royal prestige, and the influence of Empress Dowager Zhang will be reined in. Therefore, on top of Aolai Peak, when he thought that the right protector of the Heavenly Yin Sect was very likely to be related to the child back then, Liu Jin thought of coming here to borrow the power of Empress Dowager Zhang and let her do her best to support herself.
It's just that there are a lot of mundane things in the celebrant eunuch, and when he left the celebrant eunuch, it was already dusk, but fortunately, Liu Jin was already an official in the forbidden palace, and he could continue to walk in the forbidden palace. But when Liu Jin arrived at Cining Palace from the celebrant supervisor, it was already time to hold the lamp, even with Liu Jin's power, if he wanted to meet the Empress Dowager Zhang at this time, he could only stand outside the palace and wait for other palace ladies to pass on to him.
Empress Dowager Zhang had a close relationship with Liu Jin, but she did not let Liu Jin wait for a long time, and after a short time, Gong E left the palace and led Liu Jin all the way to Cining Palace. After turning the corner, he came to the door of the Empress Dowager Zhang's bedroom, Liu Jin respectfully signed up and entered, and entered the Empress Dowager Zhang's bedroom.
"Gong Liu, on such a big night, you are so eager to see the mourning family, but what's the matter?" Although Empress Dowager Zhang is over forty years old, she is well maintained, and she looks like she is only in her early thirties. At this time, if it was as usual, she would have slept peacefully, so when she met Liu Jin at this time, she was wearing a middle coat and a thick fox fur on the outside.
"Back to Niangniang, the old minister found some things in Mount Tai that are closely related to Niangniang, so just after dealing with the internal affairs of the celebrant supervisor, he came here non-stop, just to report to Niangniang!" Liu Jin bent down lightly and saluted, then stood up straight, looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang, and said straight to the point.
"Oh?Taishan?Is it still related to the mourning family?" Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help frowning when she heard this, she was also born with a seven-trick exquisite heart, and she had been dealing with Liu Jin for a long time, and she knew this old eunuch very well, and when she saw this old eunuch like this, there was also a trace of ominous premonition in her heart.
"That's good!" Liu Jin also knew that it was already night, and it was inconvenient for him to stay in Cining Palace for a long time, so he said, "The old minister was originally on a business trip in Mount Tai, but he accidentally found a person who looked very similar to His Majesty!"
"Someone who looks very similar to His Majesty, is there anything about this?" asked Empress Dowager Zhang before she could react, and asked with some confusion. Empress Dowager Zhang has been pampered for a long time, and it has been smooth sailing over the years, although she is not a biological mother and son with Zhengde, but she has already forgotten the events of the year a little, so Liu Jin said it suddenly, and she still can't react! After all, the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population, even if it is a similar person, it is not surprising.
"Has the Queen Mother forgotten Zheng Jinlian?" Liu Jin couldn't help but remind with a chuckle when she saw that the Empress Dowager Zhang was careless.
"Zheng Jinlian!?" Empress Dowager Zhang was startled, looked at Liu Jin inexplicably, and saw the meaning in his eyes, and finally a spirit, reacted, and asked, "What do you mean? Isn't Zheng Jinlian's evil seed already dead?"
"The Empress Dowager was also very clear about what happened back then!" Liu Jin saw that Empress Dowager Zhang was a little angry, but she was not shocked, but said lightly, "Back then, the old minister was powerless, and he was held hostage by Miao Dingshan and Ma Fengyue, and took away the evil seed! Later, Cao Qiuhai was ordered to hunt down and beat Miao Ma and Ma into the sea, this lady should know better than the old minister! After all, Cao Qiuhai is the head guard of Cining Palace, and he is Niangniang's cronies!"
"Spread Cao Qiuhai in!" When Empress Dowager Zhang heard Liu Jin's words, she reacted instantly, and immediately instructed the outside, after the palace outside was answered, she went to find Cao Qiuhai to come to see the driver.
Then Empress Dowager Zhang slowly calmed down, looked at Liu Jin and asked, "Liu Gong, tell the mourning family everything you know!"
After Liu Jin arched his hand, he immediately told the Empress Dowager Zhang in detail about the things on Mount Tai, and then told Zhang Cai about the "emperor" at the Luoyang temple fair!
