Chapter 185 No one can save you, what Liu Jin said!
As he spoke, Chen Cang knelt down in front of Li Huan and said: "Chen Cang is willing to serve as the Taifu's lackey and to serve the Lord."
Chen Yao and others on the side looked dumbfounded, really confused by Chen Cang's actions.
After all, in Chen Yao's impression, these civil servants looked down upon their elders quite a bit, and many of them kept cursing behind their backs, but they didn't expect that Chen Cang, a household doctor, would have such an ability.
determination.
For a moment, the eyes of Chen Yao and others shifted from Chen Cang to Li Huan. They were obviously very curious about how Li Huan would react to Chen Cang's surrender.
Li Huan glanced at Chen Cang, with a smile on his lips. He stepped forward and helped Chen Cang up and said, "Mr. Chen, please get up quickly. How can Li be so virtuous and talented as Dr. Chen to help him?"
Li Huan doesn't know if Chen Cang is a great talent, but if he can be a doctor, he cannot be a mediocre person no matter what.
What's more important is that Li Huan saw ambition in the eyes of the other party. Of course, Li Huan is not afraid of ambition. If a person doesn't even have ambition, then there will be a problem.
Moreover, Li Huan could tell from Chen Cang's actions that the other party was definitely a decisive person. You must know that being the first person to eat crabs requires great courage and decisiveness.
Obviously, Chen Cang's decision to seek refuge with him must have gone through some psychological struggle. Li Huan also believed that there must be people who wanted to seek refuge with him at this time.
But these days have passed, and no one has come to pay homage to him. After all, isn't it true that he is still hesitant?
Chen Cang is the first one. Unless Li Huan really doesn't want to accept anyone and will always be a loner, Li Huan must accept him no matter what, because Chen Cang's surrender will inevitably be seen by many people. If
If he really refuses, a group of people who want to join him will definitely be discouraged.
Li Huan did not want to form a party for personal gain, but as Chen Cang said, if he wanted to do something, he didn't even have anyone he could trust. No matter how good the policy is, if there is no trustworthy person to implement it, it is worse than nothing.
Woolen cloth.
This can be seen just by looking at how Liu Jin's New Deal was interpreted and distorted by local officials when he implemented it at the local level.
From the capital to Fujian, Li Huan and Wang Yangming did not go on a tour, but actually inspected the implementation of the New Deal implemented by Liu Jin at the local level.
After really seeing it, Li Huan realized why it had always been so difficult to reform, because reform would inevitably touch the interests of a large number of people, and these vested interests would never tolerate anyone touching their cake.
Just like Liu Jin's New Deal, many of Liu Jin's New Deal were actually of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty and the people. It's a pity that because they touched the interests of too many people, even if Liu Jin enforced them in the court, they would not reach the local level.
But everything has changed.
This was despite a group of eunuch officials gathered around Liu Jin to keep an eye on him. Without these officials keeping an eye on him, who knows what would have happened in the local area.
In fact, if you think about Zhang Juzheng's reforms later, it may not have affected the interests of a large number of people. However, Zhang Juzheng was an orthodox scholar and had the support of his own team. He had his disciples and old officials from top to bottom.
This allowed Zhang Juzheng's reforms to be implemented.
Even so, Zhang Juzheng did not receive any benefits after his death. It would be strange to say that there was no counterattack from those whose interests were touched by Zhang Juzheng.
Li Huan's heart was very big, and the emperor Zhu Houzhao's heart was also very big. They were destined to do many great things.
Li Huan can foresee that in the future he will need many people to implement his will and implement his ideas and policies. In this case, even if Li Huan does not want to form a party, he must unite a group of people around him
.
Otherwise, everything is just a castle in the air, it seems beautiful.
After hearing Li Huan's words, Chen Cang was filled with excitement. He bowed respectfully to Li Huan and then stood up.
Li Huan smiled at Chen Cang and said, "Mr. Chen, please accompany me to the mansion for a talk. I just want to tell you about the situation in the household department."
The smile on Chen Cang's face became brighter and brighter. He quickly took a step behind Li Huan and followed Li Huan and said: "I am honored to be the official."
Walking into the living room, the guests and hosts were seated, with Li Huan at the top and Chen Cang sitting on the left side of Li Huan.
The maid left after serving tea, and Li Huan's eyes fell on Chen Cang and slowly said: "Mr. Chen, what are you in charge of in the Household Department?"
Chen Cang heard the words and said hurriedly: "Back to Taifu, the lower official is just a small doctor in the household department. He is responsible for the accounting of acres of land. He is in charge of taxation, the subordinate Baoquan Bureau, and several departments in the treasury.
It’s far worse.”
Li Huan nodded slightly. The Ministry of Revenue was in charge of many projects, such as annexes, fields, treasury, and even foundry bureaus. It can be said that almost everything related to money and taxes fell under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue, which was equivalent to being in charge of the court's money bag.
.
Speaking of which, the Ministry of Household Affairs still has considerable authority among the six departments of the court. After all, it controls the money bag of the court. Being able to become an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs is also a kind of qualification and ability.
After glancing at Chen Cang, Li Huan said: "Eunuch Liu Jin implemented the new policy and how the country's land inventory was handled. Since you are in charge of the land accounting at the Ministry of Household Affairs, you should have a clear idea."
Chen Cang's expression changed slightly, he glanced at Li Huan, and said in a low voice: "Master Taifu, do you want to hear the truth or a lie about the situation of Chief Manager Liu Jin's investigation of Tianmu's plan?"
Li Huan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at Chen Cang and said with a smile: "Oh, so what if it's the truth, what if it's a lie?"
Chen Cang took a deep breath and said: "If you want to hear the truth, I can tell you that Eunuch Liu's desire to inventory the world's acres is simply a delusion. The data on acres reported by local officials is simply the result of tampering. If so.
If you want to hear a lie, it is that Eunuch Liu’s new policy has achieved remarkable results, and all the land in the world has been cleared..."
Li Huan glanced at Chen Cang indifferently and suddenly said: "I guess Mr. Chen, you must have a bad relationship with Liu Jin."
When Chen Cang heard this, he immediately said: "My lord, the official disdains Liu Jin. When Liu Jin tried to win over the official, he was rejected by the official. Since then, Eunuch Liu has been trying to transfer the official and demote him to
I went to other places, but fortunately you all protected me, so I didn’t let Eunuch Liu succeed."
Obviously Chen Cang really planned to take refuge with Li Huan, so he didn't even hide these things from Li Huan.
But even if Chen Cang wants to hide it, with Jin Yiwei's investigative ability, he will be able to investigate it sooner or later.
Li Huan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I see, I never thought that Mr. Chen, you and Mr. Liu would have such a past."
Chen Cang chuckled and said, "But now that Eunuch Liu Jin has been imprisoned for his crime, and all the eunuchs in the court are empty, the lower officials don't have to worry about being targeted by Liu Jin."
Chen Yao, who was standing next to Li Huan, couldn't help laughing when he heard this, which only made Chen Cang look at Chen Yao in surprise.
Speaking of which, Chen Yao was obviously rude when he laughed at this time. In other words, as Li Huan's confidant, he was also Li Huan's personal follower, so he was not reprimanded. Otherwise, it would be strange not to be reprimanded.
Even so, Li Huan glared at Chen Yao.
Chen Yao hurriedly cupped his hands towards Chen Cang and said, "It's Mr. Chen who is rude, Mr. Chen, please forgive me."
Chen Cang's way of nature, Chen Yao's position beside Li Huan, saw this and said hurriedly: "Chen Baihu is so polite, it must be the lower official who said something that made Chen Baihu feel funny, otherwise Chen Baihu wouldn't laugh like this.
Already."
Chen Yao glanced at Li Huan subconsciously, as if he was asking Li Huan if he wanted to inform Chen Cang that Liu Jin was about to be reinstated as the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and that he would return to the court with his cadre of eunuchs.
Chen Yao's eyes looked into Chen Cang's eyes. Chen Cang's heart moved and he also looked towards Li Huan.
Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "This matter will spread soon, so you should tell Dr. Chen first."
Chen Yao nodded and said, "Yes, sir."
As he spoke, Chen Yao turned his gaze to Chen Cang and said, "Mr. Chen, you just said that Liu Jin was sent to jail. Don't you have to worry that Liu Jin will cause trouble for you?"
Chen Cang nodded slightly and said, "That's exactly it."
Chen Yao said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you don't know something. Not long ago, my lord has entered the palace, cleared Liu Jin of the suspicion of treason, and advised the emperor that his majesty has sent an order to Liu Jin to take charge of the ceremonial department again, and Liu Jin
His subordinates Zhang Cai, Liu Yu and others will also return to the court."
"What!"
Chen Cang's expression couldn't help but change when he heard this, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Chen Cang obviously did not expect to hear such news. After all, in the eyes of many civil and military officials, Liu Jin was suspected of harming the emperor. Even if the emperor spared Liu Jin, he would definitely not use him again.
.
It is even possible that after Liu Jin comes out, Liu Jin will be sent to Nanjing to serve as a left-behind eunuch or something like that.
But now Chen Yao told him that Liu Jinfei would not only not be sent out of the capital to live in retirement, but would even return to the court with his men and take over the position of Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Chen Cang could imagine that if this news spread, all the civil and military officials in the court would be in trouble.
Who is Liu Jin? He used to have overwhelming power and arrogance, and was almost unstoppable. However, he was thrown into prison for the crime of treason.
Suddenly, countless civil and military officials in the imperial court wrote letters to impeach Liu Jin, exposed Liu Jin's crimes, and even listed dozens of crimes against Liu Jin.
This matter was not done by just one or two officials. It can be said that almost all officials submitted letters of impeachment and exposed Liu Jin. That was politically correct at the time, and it seemed that only in this way could they be able to clear away the suspicion of being in contact with Liu Jin.
The impeachment and exposure of Liu Jin is another example of taking sides. Regardless of whether the officials who exposed Liu Jin were previously members of the Eunuch Party, as long as they expose Liu Jin, they will no longer be members of the Eunuch Party and cannot be members of the Eunuch Party from then on.
Of course, this only applies to some lower-level officials. After all, when Liu Jin was at his peak, countless officials wrote to Liu Jin and tried to become his disciples.
If we were to pursue the case, I don't know how many people in the court would be labeled as Liu Jin's party.
At that time, Fei Hong, Mao Ji and others relied on this method to capture the backbone of the eunuch party, while all the lower-level officials who had taken refuge with Liu Jin were retained.
It's not that they don't want to take down all these people, the key is that if they take down these people, at least one-third of the grassroots officials in the court will be missing, and maybe even a certain yamen, the entire department will be emptied.
Now that it's better, Liu Jin is going to return to the court. Chen Cang couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Liu Jin's unyielding temper.
I don’t know how many people will be unlucky by then.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Cang looked at Li Huan and said: "Sir, are you advising His Majesty to let Liu Jin return to the court..."
Apparently Chen Cang seemed to be aware of Li Huan's purpose and looked at Li Huan with some admiration in his eyes.
Li Huan said calmly: "It is not a good thing for one family to dominate the court. How can we miss Eunuch Liu? If he is missing, wouldn't there be a lot less excitement?"
Chen Cang said respectfully to Li Huan: "My lord, this is a wonderful move. I admire you."
Li Huan waved his hand, glanced at Chen Cang and said: "Okay, you just need to remember one thing. From now on, you will be a member of my official line. As long as you don't break the law or act recklessly, if anything happens, you will naturally have your ability."
The officer will carry it for you, and all you have to do is keep an eye on every move of the household department for me."
Chen Cang said excitedly when he heard this: "I understand, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Not long after, Chen Cang left Li Huan's mansion, feeling a little elated and filled with excitement and joy.
Before arriving at the carriage, the old servant who was driving the carriage saw his master's excited face and quickly put down his stool and helped Chen Cang get into the carriage and said with a smile: "The master seems to be very happy."
Chen Cang laughed loudly, glanced at the old servant and said: "Master, I am naturally happy. From now on, master, I no longer have to worry about being looked down upon or bullied by others. I, Chen Cang, also have a backer and someone to rely on.
Hahaha……"
When the old servant saw this, he also had a smile on his face and said: "It must be a good thing that the master is so happy."
Chen Cang smiled and said: "That's right, go back home quickly. Master, I want to worship my ancestors. This time it must be the blessings of my ancestors that allowed me to successfully catch up with the Taifu and gain his favor."
The sunset on the horizon casts a brilliant brilliance, dyeing the horizon so beautiful and moving.
At this moment, at the exit of Jinyiwei's prison, a dozen figures slowly walked out of the prison.
Led by Liu Jin, almost all of the dozen or so people were injured, and some even needed the help of their companions to stand firm. They looked quite miserable.
Needless to say, these people are the backbone of the eunuch party who were thrown into prison by Fei Hong, Mao Ji, Song Jing and others. These people can be said to be senior officials of fourth or third rank and above, and they are also the core members of Liu Jin's subordinates.
, without these people cheering for Liu Jin, Liu Jin would be just a polished commander from the imperial court and would have no influence at all.
But with the help of these people, and Liu Jin having the Supervisor of Ceremonies at his disposal, he can naturally overwhelm all officials in the court at many times.
It can be said that if Liu Jin was only in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies without the support of all the civil and military officials above the court, his power might not be weak, but it would never be possible for him to have overwhelming power, and he would not be called a leader in private.
emperor.
It is conceivable how much the civil service group hates Zhang Cai, Liu Yu and other officials who have surrendered to Liu Jin. These people are really lucky to be able to survive until now.
Breathing in the fresh air, Liu Yu, Zhang Cai and others felt as if they had walked through the gates of hell after more than ten days in prison.
That kind of impact from life to death, and then from death to life, if you have a weak will, you may have been tortured and gone crazy.
At this moment, Liu Jin clasped his hands behind his back and looked towards the direction of the imperial city. There was a bit of ferocity in his eyes, and he said sharply: "Hahaha, I, Liu Jin, am back again. Those who have harmed our family, are you ready to bear the consequences of our family?"
Are you angry?"
After hearing Liu Jin's words, Liu Yu, Zhang Cai and others looked at each other, their eyes also filled with anger and hatred.
Revenge, revenge must be taken, especially for those who added insult to injury. It would be fine if they died, but who made them so lucky that they were saved by Li Huan?
Now that they can return to the court, if they don't come back with revenge, how can they be worthy of the suffering they have suffered in prison these days.
After Liu Jin laughed, he turned around, his eyes fell on everyone and said: "Everyone, please go back and have a good night's rest. Those who are seriously injured should rest for a few more days to recuperate. Those who can hold on will come back to our Yamen tomorrow."
Go and let those people know that we are back."
Zhang Cai bowed his hands to Liu Jin and said, "Don't worry, Chief Manager, but whenever I, Zhang Cai, am still alive, I will crawl to the Yamen even if I crawl. I will never be done with them."
"Me too!"
"And I!"
Soon everyone dispersed, and as night fell, the capital fell into silence. However, many people did not expect how lively the various government offices in the court would become after dawn.
A night of silence
It's dawn
As usual, officials from the Ministry of Personnel appeared in the Yamen at midnight and began to prepare for the day's work.
After a major purge, many officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs were missing.
First, because of Liu Jin, a lot of eunuch officials who were implicated by Liu Jin were captured. Among them, three to five were captured in total, including the Minister of Civil Affairs, Lang Zhong, and Yuan Wai Lang, as well as Fei Hong,
Mao Ji, they were implicated in a major rebellion, and several officials from the Ministry of Personnel were captured.
It can be said that almost half of the middle and high-level officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs have been captured.
Many vacancies could not be filled in time, so the entire staff department seemed a bit chaotic, so much so that Ding Kang, the right servant who was nominally the head of the staff department, would always yell at his subordinates because they were not doing things well.
Therefore, the entire staff department is filled with a tense and depressive atmosphere.
As the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhang Cai was still a powerful figure in the Ministry of Personnel even in the past. Now that the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is vacant, Zhang Cai is already regarded as the number one person in the Ministry of Personnel.
When Zhang Cai, dressed in official uniform, even wearing a bandage and his head wrapped in gauze, walked into the lobby of the official office, many people were stunned.
Some officials did not recognize Zhang Cailai at first sight. It was because Zhang Cai's dress was too weird. This was a place where the government ran errands, not a medical clinic where people were treated.
Some people just glanced at it casually and subconsciously wanted to drive people away, but just as they were about to open their mouths, they saw Zhang Cai's face clearly.
After all, Zhang Cai is also a powerful figure in the Ministry of Personnel. There is no official in the Ministry of Personnel who does not know Zhang Cai.
Seeing Zhang Cai now, the official couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Zhang Cai... you... aren't you in prison?"
Obviously, the official was shocked. After all, a boss who had been thrown into prison suddenly appeared in the yamen without any news or warning. It would be strange if it wasn't scary.
This man's shout shocked everyone who was busy dealing with things, and almost everyone cast their eyes in this direction.
When they saw Zhang Cai, these officials all had the same reaction as the previous official. They all opened their eyes wide and looked at Zhang Cai standing there in disbelief.
Zhang Cai, who was standing there, noticed everyone's gazes and showed a somewhat ferocious smile on his face. He smiled at the crowd and said, "Everyone, you are well. Zhang is back again!"
Everyone did not react and looked at Zhang Cai in disbelief. At this time, Ding Kang walked towards Zhang Cai, with some doubts and wariness in his eyes.
"Zhang Cai, you...why are you here?"
Zhang Cai smiled at Ding Kang and said: "Shilang Ding, are you surprised? Thanks to Taifu Li, your majesty showed mercy. Eunuch Liu and I and other people who were wrongly accused were finally able to get rid of the suspicion. Your Majesty's grace."
Haodang, allow me and other officials to be reinstated."
Hearing what Zhang Cai said, many people were dumbfounded.
What Zhang Cai said caused a stir in the hearts of many officials. Liu Jin, Zhang Cai and others were pardoned by the emperor and were even asked to reinstate their duties.
The civil service group, which had been severely damaged by the treason case, had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief. As a result, the emperor released people like Liu Jin. How could they live like this?
Ding Kang's face darkened, he tried his best to squeeze out a smile, cupped his hands towards Zhang Cai and said, "Then I would like to congratulate Mr. Zhang."
Ding Kang said, "Now that your Excellency has returned, the affairs that you were previously responsible for will continue to be in your charge."
After saying this, Ding Kang turned and left.
Zhang Cai watched Ding Kang leave with a sneer on his lips.
This kind of situation was staged in various yamen. It can be said that one morning, all civil and military officials got the news that Liu Jin and his gang members were back again.
In the cabinet, Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang, who were working, were stunned when they saw Liu Yu walking into the cabinet. Even with their determination, they couldn't help but change their expressions.
However, the two of them were just surprised, and then they reacted, stepped forward, bowed their hands to Liu Yu, smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, welcome back."
Liu Yupi glanced at the two of them with a smile, and said calmly: "Liu himself didn't even think that he could come back here alive."
Li Dongyang coughed slightly when he heard this and said: "What did Mr. Liu say? As the saying goes, the Qing Dynasty will self-purify, and the court is fair. Mr. Liu was only suspected of a treason case before. Now that the suspicion has been washed away, he can naturally return to
cabinet."
Liu Yu took a deep look at Li Dongyang and raised his hands towards Li Dongyang.
When his eyes fell on Wang Yangming, Liu Yu showed a smile on his face and saluted Wang Yangming: "Mr. Wang Ge, Liu is polite."
After Liu Yu returned home yesterday, he immediately asked what major events had happened in the capital and in the court during these days.
After thoroughly understanding what happened after they were imprisoned, Liu Yu was filled with emotion. This time they really did what Liu Jin said, thanks to Li Huan.
If Li Huan hadn't rescued the Emperor, then the fate of these people can be imagined. Even if they were rescued by Li Huan's men before, their knowledge was limited, but after truly understanding what happened,
Liu Yu also had some admiration and gratitude for Li Huansheng.
Naturally, Wang Yangming was regarded as being on the same side as Li Huan, and even more so as Li Huan's ally in the court, so Liu Yu naturally would not look down on Wang Yangming, and his attitude seemed to be very warm and close.
Liu Jin, who had escaped the disaster, returned to his mansion and rested for the night. At dawn, he could no longer hold himself back and returned to the Chief of Ceremonies early.
Although some of the senior eunuchs in the Si Li Superintendent were previously captured and killed with sticks on the order of the Empress Dowager, with Liu Jin's control over the Si Li Superintendent, even if those senior eunuchs were missing, it would not affect the normal operation of the Si Li Superintendent.
Therefore, when Liu Jin returned to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, the Supervisor of Ceremonies immediately started operating normally.
One memorial after another was piled in front of Liu Jin.
Liu Jin looked through these memorials and suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "What do the people in the Ministry of Households do for food? If I remember correctly, I said last year that we must make a living within one year."
Tianxia Tianmu has made an inventory of what happened to these data, and why is there no big change from the previous archives?"
Everyone in the Supervisor of Ceremonies was so frightened that they knelt on the ground. They could all feel the anger that Liu Jin was holding in his heart.
Therefore, everyone is cautious when doing things, for fear of becoming the target of Liu Jin's venting.
Now seeing Liu Jin getting angry, he naturally fell to his knees.
At this time, a chamberlain timidly said: "General Manager, this... this was sent from the Ministry of Revenue half a month ago. Manager, you haven't had time to approve it yet..."
Liu Jin immediately understood that these memorials were sent to him while he was in prison. At the same time, his anger became more intense. Looking at those memorials, Liu Jin realized some belatedly. From those memorials, it could be seen that many officials seemed
She was perfunctory about his order, as if she knew in advance that Liu Jin was going to be in trouble.
"Damn it, these people definitely want to harm our family."
With a low shout, Liu Jin suddenly stood up and said to the servant who was kneeling on the ground: "What are you doing kneeling on the floor? Go to the Ministry of Revenue with me. I will ask you what I gave them. They are just so perfunctory."
Is it mine? They still have me in their eyes!"
When more than a dozen chamberlains appeared at the Hubu Yamen in a small sedan chair, the official responsible for guarding the Yamen was stunned when he saw Liu Jin coming down from the sedan chair, and almost reflexively exclaimed: "
Eunuch Liu!"
Liu Jin ignored these officials at all, just snorted coldly, and strode into the household department.
The dozen or so chamberlains also hurriedly followed. The chief steward was still injured. If something happened to him due to his anger, none of them would be able to forgive him.
Compared with several other departments, Liu Jin's influence in the Household Department is somewhat lower, just because the Household Department is led by Yang Ting and Yao, the elders of the House. In this case, if Liu Jin wants to place people in the Household Department, he must first
After passing Yang Tinghe's test.
It's a pity that Liu Jin's several attempts to place people in the Ministry of Household Affairs were cleverly resolved by Yang Tinghe, so that Liu Jin only attracted a few middle and low-level officials such as Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Household Affairs. At most, they could help Liu Jin pass the news to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
It's just internal information.
However, because they were branded as eunuchs, those few Yuanwailang also had a very difficult life in the household department. They were squeezed out by their colleagues everywhere, and all the hard work was assigned to them.
In the previous period, when the eunuchs were being purged, the officials who were attracted by Liu Jin were demoted to other places. As a result, Liu Jin no longer even had an eye in the household department.
It can be said that the entire household department was made watertight by Yang Tinghe. No matter how hard Liu Jin tried, he could not occupy an important position.
Liu Jin was unable to obtain any of the middle-to-high-level official positions such as Vice Minister of the Left and Right and Foreign Minister of the Yuan Dynasty. It must be said that Yang Tinghe's methods were powerful.
Because of the speed at which the news spread, no one in the Ministry of Household Affairs knew about Liu Jin's return to the Bureau of Ceremonies.
Of course, if we really want to say it, there is actually one person who knows the news, and that is Chen Cang, who just chose to join Li Huan yesterday.
However, Chen Cang didn't talk too much. The news would spread within half a day at most. If he talked too much in this household, wouldn't it mean that he was too special?
When Liu Jin appeared in the household department, the left and right ministers who were usually in charge of the household affairs were stunned and looked at the angry Liu Jin in surprise.
"Liu Jin, why are you here..."
Almost like a conditioned reflex, Zuo Shilang Bao Qing exclaimed to Liu Jin.
Liu Jin just snorted coldly, threw a pile of memorials in front of Bao Qing and said: "Bao Qing, I am now in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Don't talk nonsense to me. Give me the person who will be responsible for accounting for the land in the world."
Bring all the foreign men and middle men here, I have something to ask them."
After listening to Liu Jin's words, Bao Qing's expression changed slightly, obviously realizing what it meant for Liu Jin to return to the position of Director of Ceremonies.
Subconsciously, he wanted to refute Liu Jin. After all, the household department was led by Yang Ting and Yao, and Yang Tinghe had always taken good care of them.
Several times Liu Jin came to trouble their household department, but Yang Tinghe blocked him all the time. This time Liu Jin came directly to kill him, which made Bao Qing feel a little bad.
Could it be that Liu Jin deliberately came to cause trouble for them and wanted to use their household department as a chicken to scare the monkeys and show it to the civil and military officials of the court?
It has to be said that anyone who can serve as a waiter is not bad in terms of intelligence or reaction ability. As long as he is not obsessed to a certain point, he can definitely be said to be the top figure of this era.
Bao Qing saw Liu Jin's plan at a glance, and just as he thought, Liu Jin wanted to use the Ministry of Husbandry to establish his power, but Yang Tinghe had been protecting the Ministry of Husbandry, so that he could not even reach into the Ministry of Husbandry.
This time, Liu Jin not only wanted to use the Ministry of Household Affairs to establish his power, but also wanted to take the opportunity to deal with several officials ruthlessly, and then put his own people in.
As for Yang Tinghe, Liu Jin felt that she had been too polite to him in the past and even wanted to live in peace with him. However, after leaving before death, Liu Jin changed his behavior and no longer thought about Yang Tinghe.
How did you react to what he did?
Seeing that Bao Qing didn't move, Liu Jin sneered and said, "Why, don't you need me to call for someone in person?"
Bao Qing took a deep breath, looked at Liu Jin and said: "Mr. Liu, matters in the household department have always been handled by Mr. Yang Ge..."
Liu Jin was furious and laughed loudly: "Yang Tinghe? I will give Yang Tinghe an explanation. But if you don't give me an explanation immediately, then don't blame me for being rude."
Bao Qing's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, the right servant Hou Qiang grabbed Bao Qing, smiled apologetically at Liu Jin and said, "Eunuch Liu, please wait a moment. I will go and call him here right now."
Soon, in a side hall of the Ministry of Revenue, several officials and more than a dozen clerks were busy among a pile of files. Suddenly, a clerk ran over quickly and said to the doctor Chen Cang: "Mr. Chen
,Hurry, hurry, my lord has summoned you urgently."
Chen Cang was stunned for a moment, looked at the official in surprise and said, "Your Excellency has summoned us, but what's the matter?"
The official took a breath and said: "Something bad has happened. Eunuch Liu suddenly brought people to our household department to cause trouble. It seems he is here to cause trouble. When you go, you must be careful."
Chen Cang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and his heart was filled with confusion. He obviously didn't expect that Liu Jin's first move to take charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies would actually burn their household department, or even burn his head.
After learning from Li Huan yesterday that Liu Jin was back in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Chen Cang realized that Liu Jin would definitely find an opportunity to establish his authority when he returned.
After all, Liu Jin's time in prison had a huge impact on his reputation. If he could not rebuild his prestige, it would be difficult for him to have the same deterrence as before, even if he regained control of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Let alone Liu Jin, if he were in Liu Jin's position, he would definitely find someone to establish his authority.
If it were in the past, Chen Cang might still be worried, but now he has a foothold and a backer. He originally wanted to watch other people's jokes and see who Liu Jin would choose to be the unlucky chicken who killed the chicken to scare the monkeys.
.
As a result, he didn't see other people's jokes, but he never thought that he himself would become the target chosen by Liu Jin to establish his authority.
There was a bit of a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and Chen Cang couldn't help but murmured softly: "Eunuch Liu, Eunuch Liu, it's not good for you to choose anyone, why did you choose me."
The official looked at the change in Chen Cang's expression and thought that Chen Cang would collapse with fright after hearing the news. However, what surprised him was that apart from a wry smile, there was no trace of fear or fear on Chen Cang's face.
Even he could see that Liu Jin came here deliberately to stir up trouble and establish authority. He didn't believe that Chen Cang couldn't see it. If Chen Cang knew Liu Jin's purpose, then he should know that no matter what this time, he would be doomed.
, in the hands of Liu Jin, even if you don't die, you still have to shed a layer of skin.
Is Chen Cang really not afraid?
Noticing the official's expression, Chen Cang could tell what he was thinking. He just shook his head in disdain. Wasn't he unlucky enough to be targeted by Liu Jin?
If he had not taken refuge with Li Huan, he would have been without a master. But now that he has Li Huan's support, Liu Jin has nothing to fear.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Chen Cang said to his subordinates, "Since I have summoned you, please follow me."
Different from Chen Cang's calm expression, the faces of these Yuanwailang and the principals changed drastically, and their eyes were full of fear.
Liu Jin's evil reputation is too great, especially when Liu Jin comes back again, he must be holding back his anger, and they are chosen by the opponent to establish their power, what will happen next.
Ge Qing, the foreign minister, whispered to Chen Cang: "Sir, what should we do? Liu Jin doesn't know how to deal with us? Are we doomed?"
This person is Chen Cang's confidant. Upon hearing this, Chen Cang smiled slightly at Ge Qing and said, "Don't worry, I still have my boss for everything."
Even Ge Qing couldn't understand it now. He was frightened, but Chen Cang seemed extremely calm. This made Ge Qing full of doubts, but he still had a look of panic on his face.
Soon everyone came to the lobby, and Chen Cang saw Liu Jin with an angry look on his face, while Bao Qing and Hou Qiang were standing there with helpless expressions.
Just looking at this situation, we know that it is obviously impossible to count on Bao Qing, Hou Qiang and others to stand up for them.
Liu Jin just chose him as a doctor. Although he was considered an upper-middle-level official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, there was more than one doctor. As long as Liu Jin didn't go after Bao Qing, Hou Qiang and the others, Yang Tinghe would know about it.
I'm afraid they will be ignored and thrown out to vent Liu Jin's anger.
After understanding the situation in the lobby, Chen Cang couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was extremely lucky. Fortunately, he was decisive enough to surrender to Li Huan first and hugged such a thick leg. Otherwise, what awaits him today
Maybe he will be dismissed from office and sent to jail.
Liu Jin stared at Chen Cang and others who were walking over with a gloomy look. Especially when he saw Chen Cang, Liu Jin's eyes did not hide his murderous intent.
In this household, Hou Qiang and Bao Qing were all die-hard supporters of Yang Tinghe. He couldn't win over them at all, so he could only set his sights on the level of doctor.
Chen Cang had extremely outstanding abilities and was responsible for land accounting, so Liu Jin set his sights on Chen Cang. However, he was rejected several times by the other party. In addition, Yang Tinghe came forward, so Liu Jin could not do anything to him.
Now that I saw Chen Cang, and thought that the other party rejected me several times without knowing the current affairs, I suddenly felt angry in my heart, and immediately shouted at Chen Cang: "Chen Cang, do you know your guilt for being bold?"
Chen Cang's expression remained unchanged and he saluted Liu Jin: "I have met Eunuch Liu. I don't know what Eunuch Liu is referring to. What crime did I commit?"
Hou Qiang and Bao Qing were stunned when they saw Chen Cang's expression. They looked at each other and were extremely surprised. Chen Cang's reaction was wrong.
Normally Chen Cang should be so frightened that he should cry and beg Liu Jin or the two of them, but Chen Cang's reaction was too calm, which was a bit unusual.
When Liu Jin saw Chen Cang's reaction, he was a little surprised like Hou Qiang, Bao Qing and others. However, Liu Jin didn't care so much. It was just a Chen Cang, and he could go against the will of heaven. Today he chose Chen Cang to establish his power.
At this moment, Yang Tinghe arrived in person and could not change his mind.
No one can save Chen Cang, Liu Jin said so.
