Chapter 672: Justification

At the end, he said: "Wei Bin is Liu Jin's confidant, how dare he kill my guards without Liu Jin's order, I was already in a coma at that time, if Qian Ning died, I am afraid that I can only be thrown into the wilderness, and I will never see the queen mother again!

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Empress Dowager Zhang also heard about Yujiazhuang for the first time, although she had information channels, so that she would not be ignorant of the outside world, but all the living mouths in Yujiazhuang were either killed or sealed, and a very few people were not accessible to hers.

Now that she heard this, she felt strange in her heart. Although Zhengde is not his son, Liu Jin also knows, but now Zhengde is the Zhengshuo of the imperial court after all, if in addition to Zhengde, what is the benefit to Liu Jin, is this Liu Jin really plotting against the wrong and intending to reverse the dynasty?

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but shudder, and she was also a little more suspicious of Liu Jin, thinking about Liu Jin's past.

Zhengde saw that Empress Dowager Zhang closed her eyes and pondered, only felt that she had listened to her words, and immediately did not bother Empress Dowager Zhang, and it happened that a palace maid brought in a bowl of soup at this time.

Zhengde thought that this should be the Korean ginseng chicken soup that Empress Dowager Zhang said before, so he motioned to the palace maid not to make a noise, took the Korean ginseng chicken soup himself, and drank this chicken soup directly on a few cases not far from Empress Dowager Zhang.

But before he drank two sips, he heard a sound behind the side hall, Zhengde was shocked, and following the prestige, he saw a thin figure walking quickly, and while walking, he shouted: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the old minister is wronged......

This is what Liu Jin heard the conversation between Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhengde in the secret compartment of the side hall, and after understanding the reason why Zhengde had a grudge against him, he planned and was ready to rush out to defend himself.

In fact, Liu Jin has always looked down on Emperor Zhengde. After all, this Emperor Zhengde can be said to have been single-handedly supported with the help of Empress Dowager Zhang.

Since ascending the throne, Zhengde has been indulging in fun, not liking politics, and many large and small affairs, but he has handled them for him. Therefore, in Liu Jin's eyes, this little emperor is just a hairy boy who is easy to fool, and he doesn't need to care too much.

So much so that later, he became more and more free of his own with Zhengde, and gradually relaxed his control over Zhengde. Until Zhengde left the palace without permission, he was extremely angry, one was angry at Zhengde's nonsense, and the other was angry at the person who helped Zhengde leave the palace.

But he was also worried that something had happened to Zhengde, and if he changed the emperor, his position would only be unstable, so he sent Wei Bin to lead the masters of the three factories and one guard to find Zhengde and bring him back to the palace.

It's just that he was dizzy at that time, so he issued an order to kill the people around Zhengde, first, to intimidate the little emperor, so that he did not dare to run around, and secondly, to warn those who were secretly against him, so that their hands and feet should not be stretched too long.

didn't want Wei Bin to do things badly, so he left a Qian Ning, so that Qian Ning told Zhengde the order to kill. Because of this, Zhengde became suspicious of himself and felt that he even wanted to kill him.

Hearing this, Liu Jin suddenly realized that he was more aware of what he was wrong. Although he had long been prepared to use the poison of Japan to control Zhengde, he couldn't help but come out and defend himself.

At that moment, he rushed out of the dark grid, and trotted all the way towards Zhengde and Empress Dowager Zhang, while trotting, he also shouted: "Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged!"

As he spoke, he began to weep bitterly. When he came to the vicinity of Zhengde and Empress Dowager Zhang, he suddenly knelt on the ground, prostrate and kept kowtowing, shouting injustice.

Emperor Zhengde came back to his senses at this time, he never thought that Liu Jin was in the Empress Dowager Zhang's bedroom, and he didn't expect that he and Empress Dowager Zhang had said so much, and Liu Jin listened to it.

At this moment, he seemed to have been exposed to the secret of his heart, his face turned red, and he didn't care about Liu Jin, just looked at Empress Dowager Zhang, his eyes were full of reproach.

Empress Dowager Zhang was also taken aback, in the previous conversation with Liu Jin, it was obvious that she came forward and tricked Zhengde into drinking the poison, and everything was fine, Liu Jin never said that she would come out.

Now Liu Jin suddenly appeared, not only made Zhengde angry, but also the Empress Dowager Zhang, looking at Zhengde's fire-breathing eyes, she couldn't help but dodge her eyes, glanced at Liu Jin with some annoyance, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Gong, why are you shouting injustice?"

At this point, the Empress Dowager Zhang can only continue like this, although Zhengde is angry, he will not tear the face with the Empress Dowager Zhang in front of Liu Jin.

Liu Jin listened to Empress Dowager Zhang's questioning, and immediately stopped kowtowing, just lowered his head, and said with a crying voice: "The old minister is wronged! The old minister asked Wei Bin to go just to rescue His Majesty, how do you know that he has done so many things?"

"Huh?" Empress Dowager Zhang was still suspicious of Liu Jin's intentions, why did she want to do something to Zhengde, but after listening to Liu Jin's words, she suddenly understood.

Although she didn't guess it completely, she only thought that Liu Jin wanted to teach the little emperor a lesson, but she was also slightly relieved. As long as she doesn't want to have bad intentions, she can accept it.

When Zhengde heard this, he just pursed his lips, and sneered in a strange manner: "Who doesn't know that Liu Gong is the head of the Eight Tigers, and among the Eight Tigers, even an old man with high qualifications like Gao Feng has to listen to you! Although Wei Bin is young and vigorous, he has always been the only one who looks at you, how can he not follow your orders and go on a killing spree, even my personal guards, will not hesitate to chase and kill?"

In fact, the real reason why Liu Jin came out was because he still had to borrow Empress Dowager Zhang now, but because of Yu Jiazhuang, he couldn't let Empress Dowager Zhang have two hearts about himself, then it would be really difficult for him.

As for Zhengde's thoughts, he didn't care so much. Anyway, Zhengde will become a puppet next, controlled by himself, as long as he has the support of the Empress Dowager Zhang, he can rely on the puppet emperor to reach the peak of power in the imperial court again.

At that moment, he secretly glanced at the Empress Dowager Zhang, and found that she glanced at him without a trace, obviously understanding what she meant.

So he was also a little relieved in his heart, and said to Zhengde: "Your Majesty, the title of the Eight Tigers of the old minister and those companions is just that the foreign minister deliberately gave it to us in order to attack the old minister!"

As for what you said Wei Bin listened to me, this is naturally true. In fact, Wei Bin was also killed by mistake, he was ordered to rescue His Majesty, and just happened to see that the entire Yujiazhuang was surrounded by the Sun Moon God Sect bandits!

I also got a tip-off that the reason why Your Majesty is under siege is that the guards around him have the spies of the Sun and Moon God Sect. Wei Bin didn't have to think about it, so he killed him directly. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Jin saluted with both hands, bowed heavily, and lay on the ground, but he no longer got up, as if waiting for Zhengde and Empress Dowager Zhang to fall.

Zhengde listened to Liu Jin's defense, and couldn't help but be stunned. He has always thought that Wei Bin did it on purpose, and he was ordered by Liu Jin to come and kill him, otherwise why wouldn't he even let Qian Ning go?

But now that he listened to Liu Jin's sophistry and heard that Wei Bin was the killer, it was because the Sun Moon Divine Sect seemed to have put a spy on his side, and he couldn't help but be a little confused.

Immediately, I thought that if I blindly killed indiscriminately, wouldn't I be afraid that Wei Bin would kill me? It's just that although I thought about it, Zhengde didn't want to continue to entangle with Liu Jin.

At that moment, he seemed to look at the Empress Dowager Zhang for help, as if he was asking the Empress Dowager Zhang, what Liu Jin said was true or false. Empress Dowager Zhang had already relieved her doubts about Liu Jin at this time, and naturally stood on Liu Jin's side again, seeing Zhengde, she didn't know how to deal with it, so she just nodded and didn't say much.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhang nodded in approval, Zhengde couldn't help but be a little confused. Could it be that everything is just a misunderstanding, just thinking too much? Is this Liu Jin really as loyal to himself as before?

When Zhengde was confused, Liu Jin, who was prostrate on the ground, suddenly said again: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, the old minister is willing to give up the post of the eunuch in charge of the seal, hand over the three factories and one guard, go to Nanjing to retire, and ask Your Majesty to fulfill it!"

After all, Liu Jin has served Zhengde since he was a child, even if he is already suspicious of Liu Jin now, but Zhengde was misled by Empress Dowager Zhang, and he couldn't help but be shaken.

Seeing Liu Jin's tearful request to go to Nanjing for the elderly, even if he didn't regain his trust in him, he didn't want to be too harsh in front of Empress Dowager Zhang, so he had to say: "Okay, I know, since it's just a misunderstanding, let's let it pass?"

"Huh?" Liu Jin had long known that Emperor Zhengde was soft-hearted, and when he saw that he really forgave himself, he made an ecstatic expression, looked at Emperor Zhengde in disbelief, and said, "Your Majesty no longer suspects the old minister?"

"This ......" Zhengde was stunned for a moment, wanting him to let go of it, but he didn't want to do it anyway, he was stunned for a while, and when the Empress Dowager Zhang pulled his shirt, he nodded reluctantly, and said, "I have been accompanied by Liu Gong since I was a child, and I remember this friendship! If it's okay, you can retreat first, I still have something to say to the queen mother!"

Liu Jin is cunning and cunning, so he can naturally hear the insincerity in Zhengde's words, only talking about friendship, not forgiveness, obviously waiting to settle accounts with himself.

At that moment, he sneered in his heart, but there was a smile on his face that had survived the catastrophe, and he kowtowed like pounding garlic and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!"

"Okay, Duke Liu, stand down!" Empress Dowager Zhang saw that Liu Jin was willing to come out and be humiliated in order to win her trust, and her dissatisfaction with Liu Jin turned into extreme satisfaction, and she couldn't bear to see him continue here at the moment, disrupting her plan to poison herself, so she sent Liu Jin away.

"Yes, the old minister obeys the order!" Liu Jin got off the donkey, got up directly, leaned over, and retreated.

Looking at Liu Jin's thin figure, Zhengde did not hide the suspicion in his eyes at all. A sentence in order to kill the people of the Sun and Moon God Sect can't make him completely relieved.
