Chapter 356: Controversy
Jiao Fang's heart was like a turbulent wave at this time, he didn't think that the crime of impeachment was so powerful, he just saw that now even Xungui began to resist Liu Jin's forces!
You must know that although Liu Jin controls the three factories and one guard, the forbidden army in the palace, the Beijing camp and other soldiers and horses, most of this is nominal.
Among the forbidden army and the Beijing camp, most of the middle and lower-level officers are nobles, and there are also many upper-level officers!
Although with Liu Jin's power in the palace, it is not a big problem to completely control the forbidden army!
However, if you want to control the Beijing camp, which has more than 200,000 people and extremely strong combat effectiveness, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch it!
Therefore, Liu Jin's position seems to be stable, but it is based on the fact that Xungui does not join forces with civil officials.
Now because of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, this noble and civil official suddenly came forward to impeach together, and it was the heads of nobles like Zhang Mao and Zhu Fu who came forward, this is really two factions and declared war on the eunuch faction headed by Liu Jin!
If Liu Jin doesn't want to take measures, then he will only face the end of pressing step by step and finally losing his rights.
In view of this, Jiao Fang was terrified in his heart, and he didn't know how to get a glimmer of life for his faction, so he stayed on the spot.
And Liu Yu is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he knows the energy of these two princes, although he is not as far as Jiao Fang thinks, but he also knows that these two princes have come forward, and it is better not to be bored with themselves, so under the cowardice in his heart, he did not come forward.
The other civil and military officials under Liu Jin's banner will indeed have no leader, and they don't know what to do, so they are all standing aside, and they can only watch the joint impeachment of civil officials and nobles.
Emperor Zhengde was also a little surprised, but he didn't expect Liu Jin to have such a fun thing, so he didn't inform himself.
Controlling the martial arts and manipulating the martial arts war is really fun in the heart of Emperor Zhengde!
Since he was a child, he likes to move and not be quiet, and he likes to dance with knives and guns. Emperor Hongzhi is also a loving father, and when he saw his son being so naughty, he didn't discipline him, but followed his temperament. And also invited famous teachers and masters to guide Zhengde to practice the internal strength of the brilliant Xuanmen Sect.
As the saying goes, the poor are rich and the martial arts are rich! This emperor's house is rich all over the world!
Zhengde's resources for learning martial arts are naturally far higher than others, and among the world, I am afraid that there are few who can compare!
Therefore, Emperor Zhengde now has a good martial arts.
It's just that Emperor Zhengde has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and although there are many martial arts masters on the side, they are all his subordinates.
Originally, he was still depressed, but when he heard that Liu Jin was manipulating the martial arts, causing a martial arts war, and hearing that the righteous path led by Shaolin and Wudang was confronting the Tianyin Sect in Henan, he was also very happy in his heart, just thinking that he could rush to Henan and take a look at the grand event of the great war in the martial arts!
As for Yang Tinghe's tragic death of nearly 1,000 warriors in Mount Tai, it was no big deal for him.
The Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, and every moment, there will be the death of Li Min, as a king, but where did he manage so much!
What's more, he came from a petty and stubborn background, and he lacked discipline! Liu Jin and other close attendants were blindly flattering and pampering, and he never left Beijing to visit the people, and he could not understand the people's suffering, so naturally he would not have much sympathy for the people.
But at this time, Yang Tinghe, Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu and other high-ranking officials all used this matter to jointly impeach Liu Jin, but he was a little unhappy.
Just as he was about to have an attack, he heard a slight voice, which slowly came from outside the hall: "I don't want me Liu Jin to commit such a huge thing, but it is the old man's guilt that Lao Yang University, Cheng Guogong, and British Duke took the lead in condemning!"
The sound sounded slight, but it seemed to ring in everyone's ears.
Those civil and military officials who followed Liu Jin, who was jointly impeached by the three adults, were all in color, and some people looked frightened, and couldn't help but look left and right, thinking about whether they could escape back to the class.
Some people looked up with indignation on their faces, and looked back fearlessly, looking at the thin figure that slowly walked from outside the main hall.
Those civil and military officials who belonged to Liu Jin were all cheering, and they all wanted to come forward now to show their loyalty.
Liu Yu was even more smiling, as if he had found the backbone.
Only Jiao Fang looked flat, but between his eyebrows, there was always that indelible sorrow, obviously even if Liu Jin came back, he didn't let go.
Yang Tinghe repeatedly collided with Liu Jin, and he was naturally unceremonious at this time, looking at the momentum of the joint impeachment of hundreds of civil and military officials, as Liu Jin walked slowly, it fell apart, and many officials even gave way to a huge aisle, as if they did not dare to block the direction of the first eunuch in the world, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but be furious.
"Bold Liu Jin, since you happened to come back, then I will impeach you now in front of Your Majesty! You manipulate the martial arts sect and stir up martial arts disputes, do you dare to admit it?" Yang Tinghe glared at Liu Jin angrily and said indignantly.
"Hehe! There is indeed something!" Liu Jinyun walked slowly and lightly, nodded and admitted what Yang Tinghe said! It's just that he seems to be walking quite slowly, but every step has used extremely clever light skills, and after a few steps, he floated past Yang Tinghe and the two princes in a short time, came to the top of the collapse, and saluted Emperor Zhengde with a smile on his face, and said: "The old slave is late to come back, please forgive Your Majesty!"
Zhengde was about to open his mouth to ask about this, but Liu Jin turned around and looked at Yang Tinghe with an arrogant expression, which made Zhengde a little unhappy.
"Since you confess your guilt, why don't you obey the law?" The more insipid and arrogant Liu Jin was, the more angry Yang Tinghe became, and at that moment he pointed at Liu Jin and shouted angrily.
"The old man just admitted this, but what is the crime? Please teach Yang Gong to teach me!"
While speaking, Liu Jin arched his hand, looking polite, as if he wanted to humbly ask for advice, but his attitude and expression were not respectful at all.
"Conspiring to control the martial arts sect, raising dead soldiers, and stirring up martial arts disputes, this is a crime with bad intentions, Gonggong Liu, isn't this enough to convict you?" Yang Tinghe immediately said when he saw Liu Jin like this.
"Haha......" Liu Jin actually laughed wildly when he heard this, he didn't put Yang Tinghe, the two princes, and even Zhengde in his eyes at all, Yang Tinghe, who was laughing, was almost about to rush to the collapse, and when the two princes were a little displeased, Liu Jin suddenly shouted, "Where is Wang Dongsheng of Dali Temple!"
"The lower official is here!" said an official who stepped out of the ranks, walked under the collapse, and said respectfully.
This person is Wang Dongsheng, the Qing of Dali Temple, who is a member of the third grade!
This Dali Temple is in charge of high-ranking officials' prisons, in charge of the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and criminal cases large and small are all refuted by Dali Temple. Liu Jin's purpose in calling this person out is self-evident.
"Tell me, is there a rule in the Daming Law that prohibits you from getting involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes?" Liu Jin glanced at Yang Tinghe with disdain, and then asked softly.
This Wang Dong's ascension to the position of Dali Siqing originally relied on Liu Jin's support, so he was originally Liu Jin's party! When he heard Liu Jin's question, he smiled knowingly and immediately replied: "There are 430 articles of the Daming Law, and none of them has recorded this matter!"
"Hmph! There is no record of the Da Ming Law, can it be regarded as Liu Jin's innocence?" Yang Tinghe naturally wouldn't admit defeat so simply, and immediately shouted, "Don't talk about anything else, just say that Liu Jin stirred up the chaos in the rivers and lakes, causing the tragic death of more than a thousand martial arts people, can this matter be easily settled?"
"It's just the old man's service to the country!" Liu Jin waved his sleeves slightly, then turned around and bowed to Emperor Zhengde, "The old slave has a book!"
"Duke Liu, please speak!" Emperor Zhengde was not ready to punish Liu Jin, who was extremely favored by him, because of the matter of martial arts, so he nodded and said immediately.
"Jinyi Wei reported that there are Tatars who are meticulously striking, sent across the border, and come to my Ming Dynasty, intending to connect with my Ming Dynasty's rebel forces!" Liu Jin said in a surprising voice.
"This ......" Yang Tinghe couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, he was already smart and understood how Liu Jin was going to exonerate himself.
"What?" Zhengde was also shocked, looked at Liu Jin in disbelief, and asked, "What you said is true?"
"How dare the old slave deceive the king and hide it!" Liu Jin saw that Zhengde was a little disbelieving, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, but now he was above the court, so he had to say patiently, "The commander of the Jinyi Guard is outside the palace, His Majesty summons him, just ask!"
"Okay! Xuanshi Wenyi comes in!" Zhengde reacted at this time, he just seemed to be a little disrespectful to Liu Jin, and couldn't help but smile apologetically.
Seeing the emperor like this, Liu Jin also disappeared the pimple in his heart, shook his head, and stood up!
At this time, the eunuch in the hall was Qiu Ju, and when the emperor ordered, he immediately walked to the edge of the collapse and shouted loudly in the voice of the male duck: "Xuanshi Wenyi is here!"
The eunuchs in their own palace passed this order down layer by layer, and after a while, they saw Shi Wenyi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, walking in in a flying fish suit!
Shi Wenyi is not tall, but he is fat, and he has obviously been pampered for a long time.
He trembled all the way to the bottom of the collapse, bowed down and said: "Chen Shi Wenyi greets my emperor, long live!"
"Excuse me, get up and answer!" Emperor Zhengde was anxious to know what was going on, and immediately said out loud.
"Your Majesty Xie!" Shi Wenyi stood up straight, lowered his head slightly, and said.
"I just heard from Duke Liu that there are Tatar spies who have been sent across the border, intending to contact our country to rebel and prepare for trouble?
"It's true!" Shi Wenyi nodded and replied, "Since the Great War of Ningxia, the minister has sent many Jinyi Wei secret agents to all parts of the Nine Frontiers to detect the enemy situation in various parts of the grassland! A month ago, a secret agent sent a letter and reported that Balborost, the son of Tatar Dayan Khan, led his henchmen south and sent Yue into the country, but he was missing! After His Majesty learned of this news, he strictly ordered the Jinyi guards in the world to investigate the movements of this Barr as soon as possible!"
"Has that ever been discovered?" Emperor Zhengde listened to Shi Wenyi and knew that this Tatar had actually sent a prince to come, and it seemed that it was imperative to contact the Ming rebellion in the south this time, so he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, and immediately continued to ask.
"Your Majesty searched around, and although he didn't find any trace of Baal, he found Baal's purpose!" Shi Wenyi replied.
"What is the purpose?" asked Emperor Zhengde.
"After Bal intends to contact the Tianyin Sect and support the Tianyin Sect to unify the martial arts, he will start an incident within our country! At the same time, the Tatars will march from the outside and attack our borders! Such an internal and external attack will be successful!" Shi Wenyi said loudly.
"What?" Emperor Zhengde was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that this Tatar prince would go south in person, and he was actually preparing to start with martial arts!
The reason why the Ming Dynasty was established was not unrelated to the strong support of all factions in the martial arts. Therefore, since Hongwu Taizu, the restraint on martial arts is not high!
It's just to pay homage to Shaolin and Wudang, these two worldly sects, and restrain martial arts.
Over the years, Shaolin and Wudang, as places of practice for monks, have been rewarded countless times by emperors of all generations.
And Shaolin and Wudang also reciprocated the peach, intending to restrain the martial arts factions for the Ming Dynasty, not to make any one dominant, and not to interfere with the affairs of the martial arts at will.
Although there are constant turmoil in the martial arts, but since the founding of the Ming Dynasty for more than 100 years, there has been no major event that shakes the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
Even the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, which was in full swing back then, has disappeared in the long river of history, so the Ming officials have always been more at ease with martial arts.
At this time, I heard that the Tatar prince Barr and the Tianyin Sect were connected with each other, intending to cause trouble within the Ming Dynasty, although Emperor Zhengde was mediocre and playful, he was also angry.
"This thief of the Tianyin Sect dares to do this?Shi Wenyi, what are you doing with Jinyiwei, don't you give ......it to me quickly" Emperor Zhengde was about to order Shi Wenyi to exterminate the Tianyin Sect, but he was interrupted by someone.
I saw that the old god was there all along, and Li Dongyang, who had never spoken, suddenly walked out and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry!"
"Hmm? Li Aiqing has anything to say?" Li Dongyang is the head assistant of the cabinet, he is the ruler of the court, the elder of the four dynasties, and the minister who took care of the life of Hongzhi, he really has a special status, even Zhengde is usually respectful to Li Dongyang! Although Li Dongyang interrupted his words at this time, he was also patient, looked at Li Dongyang and asked.
"The old minister wants to ask Commander Shi, is there conclusive evidence that this Tatar prince Barr is colluding with the Tianyin Sect, or is it just a rumor?" Li Dongyang asked with a pair of eyes that looked cloudy, but with a little essence, looking at the pot-bellied Shi Wenyi.
"This ......" Shi Wenyi was stunned when he heard this, in fact, the so-called collusion between Barr and the Tianyin Sect was just Liu Jin's explanation that he was climbing and biting indiscriminately! Although Barr did go south, Shi Wenyi's investigation so far has not found out where Barr is or what his purpose is.
But in order to get out of the turmoil in the rivers and lakes, Liu Jin instructed Shi Wenyi to say so.
At this time, Li Dongyang, the ruling of the current dynasty, personally came forward and asked solemnly, even if Shi Wenyi had Liu Jin behind him, he didn't dare to open his eyes and say nonsense, so he could only be silent for a long time, hesitating, and didn't know how to say it.
