Chapter 108 Hidden Secret (Part 2)

Capturing Chen Hong himself is a very simple matter, and there is no need for Dongchang and Jinyiwei at all - these men are in the palace, and Zhu Yijun immediately locked them up with a single order, without any extra effort.

However, since it is necessary to arrest the party members, it will be a bit more troublesome, especially since Zhu Yijun characterized Chen Hong's case as corruption. Of course, it involves bribers. This is what Gao Wushi is currently arranging.

The Dongchang side is easy to deal with. With Huang Mengyu, the official governor, there is no need to worry about who is suitable for arresting whom. Being pragmatic, the main inconvenience lies with Jin Yiwei.

It is no longer a few years ago. At that time, Zhu Xixiao, the brother of Duke Lao Cheng, was the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei. Jinyiwei and Gao Pragmatic were secret allies. However, a few years after Zhu Xizhong died, Zhu Xixiao also died, and Liu Shou had actual control.

In charge of Jin Yiwei, Jin Yiwei and Gao Pragmatic are now drifting apart.

Liu Shouyou was a native of Macheng, Hubei. Like Gao Pragmatic, he was born into a family of officials and was a descendant of a famous minister. His family's ancestral land was in the south of Shunhe market town in Macheng, called Suokou River. It was on this land that the Liu family gradually grew up.

He became strong and prosperous, and eventually became one of the four famous families in Macheng.

The ancestor of the Liu family, Liu Meng, joined the army with Emperor Gaozu at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and "the officials knew each other, and they were given land in Macheng, because of the family." This could be the earliest preparation for the Liu family to have continuous academic fields in Macheng and the emergence of talents in large numbers.

.

Since the Hongwu period, when the first Jinshi in Macheng of the Ming Dynasty was born in the Liu family, the Liu family in Suokouhe has successively had 17 people pass the provincial examination, and 14 people have been Jinshi in Chinese and martial arts, so they are known as the "Jinghu Ding clan"

.

In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Liu Congzheng, the son of Liu Meng, achieved success in the imperial examination and became the first Jinshi in Macheng during the Ming Dynasty. "Macheng County Chronicle" records: "Liu Congzheng, courtesy name Gongming, was a Jinshi in Jiaxu in Hongwu during the Ming Dynasty. He paid homage to the censor, Jian Er.

He resisted Zhizhi, had no choice but to be impeached, kept the peace of Xuanwei Si, and his clans often killed each other. He engaged in politics and received imperial edicts, served as a councilor in Henan and Shanxi, and was prudent and outstanding in his voice. He died in office."

Liu Xun, the son of Liu Congzheng's younger brother Liu Congxian, passed the imperial examination in the seventh year of Xuande and won the Jinshi title in the fourth year of Zhengtong. "Macheng County Chronicle" said: "Knowing Jintan County, he has a favorable government, a frugal nature, and manages vegetable gardens to support himself."

I pay homage to the censor, who is honest and upright, and the chief of the tombs, Wang Aoteshu, recommended him to be the best in the world in governance."

"Jintan County Chronicle" also records that he: "Loves the people and is diligent in government, loves virtuous and polite people, hoe the strong and eliminate the evil, and claims to be a natural... After three years of performance evaluation, Ling Xiaoran, the tomb chief Wang Aoteshu recommended his governance behavior to be the best in the world, and he was promoted

The Supervisory Censor was promoted to Shanxi Left to participate in politics."

Liu Shouyou's great-grandfather, Liu Can, was the grandson of Liu Xun. He passed the imperial examination in the 16th year of Chenghua and was a Jinshi in the Gengxu Science Examination in the 3rd year of Hongzhi. His courtesy name was Shiyue. "Macheng County Chronicle" says: "Knowing Fengcheng County, Kaiti was decisive, established schools and cultivated talents. The county

He loves obscene sacrifices and destroys them in order to rectify the folk customs. He is self-disciplined and does not keep a penny privately. He collects money well and keeps away his cunning. According to his work, he is the best on the right side of the Yangtze River."

Liu Zhongxuan, Liu Zhan's father, was the official in the fourth year of Jingtai's reign and was promoted to the magistrate of Chongde County.

Liu Shouyou's grandfather Liu Tianhe, whose courtesy name was Yanghe and whose name was Songshi, took the provincial examination in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, Jinshi in the third year of Zhengde, and was awarded the title of head of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. He was Liu Can's son.

Liu Tianhe first served as the head of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and later as the censor. He was an imperial envoy touring Shaanxi. He was framed and arrested by the eunuch Liao Tang for offending him. He was later rescued and released by Yang Yiqing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and others, and was demoted to the post of Prime Minister of Jintan County, Jiangsu Province.

During his exile for several years, due to his outstanding political achievements, he later moved to the prefecture of Huzhou.

In the early years of Jiajing, Liu Tianhe was promoted to the deputy envoy of Shanxi Province, and later moved to Nanjing as Taichang Shaoqing. Later, he served as the censor of Youqiandu to supervise the administration of Gansu Province. He requested the emperor to use Suzhou Dingzhuang and the mountains to bring Shaanxi refugees nearby.

Border farming and animal husbandry were carried out in all frontiers. Later he was changed to governor of Shaanxi. During his term of office, he requested the removal of guard officials and dismissal of people's patients for more than 30 times, and Shizong obeyed them all.

After that, Liu Tianhe quelled the rebellion of the 42 tribes of Taomin Fan and quelled the thieves in Hudian and the demon thieves in Hanzhong. Because of his merits in guarding the border and pacifying the thieves, he was promoted to the right deputy censor of the capital and governor of Shaanxi, in charge of river water conservancy projects.

In the eleventh year of Jiajing, his mother died, and Liu Tianhe returned to his hometown to Dingyou. After his discharge, the Yellow River flooded, and the imperial court re-appointed Liu Tianhe to his original post as prime minister of rivers. Later, he was the right minister of the processing department and was still responsible for river management in Henan and other places.

Because of his merits in river control, Liu Tianhe was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Industry and the right deputy to the censor of the capital.

In the fifteenth year of Jiajing's reign, Liu Tianhe was appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy censor of the capital. He was also the prime minister of military affairs on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu. It happened that Ji Nang invaded Liangzhou, Ningxia and other places. Tianhe made great achievements in resisting the invasion of Ji Nang outside the Great Wall, and was awarded the title of "Liu Tianhe".

The prince's Taibao protects a thousand households, and gives him ten silver coins.

Later Liu Tianhe was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing, and soon he was called the Minister of the Ministry of War and to supervise the regiment camp. Because he was impeached by the ministers because of his old age, Liu Tianhe begged for leave and returned home. After living for three years, in the 10th year of Jiajing's 24th year,

He died on February 25th and was given the posthumous title of Zhuang Xiang as a gift to Shaobao.

Liu Chan was the father of Liu Shouyou and the son of Liu Tianhe. His courtesy name was Rujing and his nickname was Yunsou. He passed the rural examination in the first year of Jiajing and became a Jinshi in the eleventh year of Jiajing. "Macheng County Chronicles" records that Liu Chan was "among officials and doctors, so as not to be attached to the powerful."

He was renamed Ruyang Tongben and became strict in his administration, and no one dared to bully him. He later became a doctor of the Nanjing Criminal Department."

Liu Shouyou himself was not very good at studying, but he successfully changed his career and became a martial arts scholar.

However, he was able to do well in Jinyiwei mainly because of his grandfather Liu Tianhe's achievements in pacifying the captives, and he was able to inherit the Jinyiwei thousands of households in Yinguan.

As for the subsequent gradual promotion, last year he was officially in charge of the Jinyiwei as the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei. Since Zhu Xixiao's death, the Jinyiwei has no governor. This is mainly because of Zhang Juzheng's relationship (historical fact), because he is from Hubei and belongs to Zhang Juzheng's hometown.

At the same time, his grandfather Liu Tianhe had some connections with Zhang Juzheng's mentor Xu Jie, so it would be weird for Zhang Juzheng not to promote him.

Since Liu Shouyou was working in Jinyiwei, of course he would know more or less about the reasons for Zhang Juzheng's downfall, so he always had a bad impression of Gao Pragmatic. Although he would not jump out to fight with Gao Dang, Jinyiwei was under his control.

Under control, it can be regarded as completely drawing a clear line with high pragmatism.

This is obviously something that makes Gao Pragmatic a little unhappy.

Although Gao Pragmatic is not bold enough to try to control Dongchang and Jinyiwei, he always hopes to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Dongchang and Jinyiwei. After all, without the secret cooperation of these two companies, there are still many things that are difficult to handle.

When he got an opportunity today, he planned to take a look at Jin Yiwei's matter and see if he could find a way to bring Jin Yiwei back.

Gao Jingshi did not intend to win over Liu Shouyou. Firstly, the Liu family was a spiritual disciple together with Xu Jie, which conflicted with the Gao family's ideas. Secondly, Gao Jingshi also estimated that Liu Shouyou's unwillingness to get close to him was probably related to Zhang Juzheng.

He knew something. On the one hand, it would be difficult to win over Liu Shou like this. On the other hand, even if he could win over Liu Shou, it would mean that Liu Shou was not trustworthy, so it would be better not to win over Liu Shou.

Then, we can only think of ways to find someone to replace Liu Shouyou.

As for the candidates, there are two, and what a coincidence, they are both related to Gao Pragmatic.

One is named Wang Zhizhen, the grandson of Wang Chonggu; the other is named... Gao Wuben, the son of Gao Pragmatic's fifth uncle, Gao Cai.

----------

In other words, there may not be many authors who write online novels that map out the interpersonal relationships of ancient people. I may be doing something stupid and thankless again.
