Although he wanted to strangle Xu Xun to death, Liu Jin still had self-awareness after all. Not to mention that Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao never expected him to use his great power to hold an officer of the Nanchang avant-garde hostage and thus successfully capture the military camp. Even he himself had never expected him to.
He has the habit of carrying weapons with him. After all, he is the eunuch of the Chief of Ceremony, and he has the authority to control the internal situation of the red people. Why does he need to fight with others at such a low level? Therefore, he glanced at the sword beside Xu Xun, and he sat down without saying a word.
Come down.
Xu Xun filled up the small teacup in front of Liu Jin, then picked it up and drank it in one gulp when he saw that the jar was broken. He just rubbed the teacup in his hand and said with recollection on his face: "You were right just now.
If it hadn't been for that chance encounter, there would have been no subsequent gossip in the car, nor would the two of us have shared the same secret. Although thinking about it now, the emperor's knot in his mind is a bit ridiculous, but at the time it was a big deal.
. He was estranged from his mother and his mother-in-law, and therefore from his mother-in-law's family. However, at that time, the late emperor was devoted to having no concubines. Thinking about the rumors in the emperor's ears at that time, it was really inexplicable. And later, the incident involving the prince's daughter Zheng Jinlian
The case is even more scandalous to the world."
As the winner, Xu Xun can naturally reminisce about the past. Although Liu Jin was full of unwillingness, he still hid it well on his face. He even grabbed the pot from Xu Xun's hand angrily and looked after himself.
He was drinking water on his own. Although he had drank a lot of water in Prince Ning's Mansion before, and then rushed to the clean room frequently, but now on this trip out of the city, all the burdens in his heart were finally put aside now that he has become a pauper.
.He had nothing to be afraid of. Until...something appeared in front of his eyes, but it was two pieces of paper handed over by Xu Xun.
"What's this?"
"You'll know just by looking at it."
Liu Jin took it in his hand and looked at it unhappily. He found that it was King Ning's call to arms, and Yue Mo had been shot into the Nanchang avant-garde barracks before. He claimed to be illiterate. Memorials often like the writings in the ceremonial office and other internal affairs.
Let him listen to it, but in fact, he has always been literate, and being illiterate is just a trick. In front of Xu Xun, he didn't bother to pretend to ask how he got this thing. After taking a deep breath, he looked at ten lines.
Started browsing.
"In the past, when Xiaomiao was still alive, he only favored Empress Zhang. He used the son of the Zheng family from the palace as the legitimate son of the empress, who is now the hypocrite Zhu Houzhao. When Xiaomiao collapsed, the hypocrite stole the throne, so that the ancestral system was lost, the court was not established, and all loyal ministers and righteous men were wiped out.
They all deserted. The traitorous eunuchs were rampant for a while. They caused chaos in the government and harmed the people, and the harsh administration was poisonous. Now the city's officers and soldiers have made a bloody alliance, and are willing to punish the traitors who came to Jiangxi with false orders. The rest cannot avoid it. In order to comply with the laws of nature and the people's hearts, we must personally lead the way.
The three armies are in charge of eliminating harm. Tezi tells the officers and soldiers that they are not allowed to leave their positions without permission, and that all accumulated taxes and taxes are exempted from them. Soldiers and horses from all walks of life are willing to work hard to eliminate traitors and give them generous rewards. If anyone dares to resist, let us punish them together!
"
After reading this appeal, Xu Xun saw that Liu Jin's face suddenly turned black, and he said lightly: "Previously, when Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion happened in Ningxia, someone also concocted an appeal, but it was worse than this.
The half-literate and half-literary stuff is much more fluent in literature and science, and it only talks about the danger of the young country, the treacherous officials, playing around with the country's laws, and killing the loyal and good. It is a block of words, but it is not as bold as the statement of King Ning that was shot into the Nanchang vanguard camp.
, tell me directly that the emperor is the son of some palace official, Zheng. Look at this statement, and think about the case that was investigated and there was no clue in the end. Don’t you have any ideas, Old Liu? "
Liu Jin squeezed the two pieces of paper in his hand tightly, and when he thought that the letter was actually scolding him, he immediately gritted his teeth. He knew that when he turned around and saw Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, the other party would definitely bring this matter up lightly and skillfully.
In the past, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his throat was actually a bit hoarse.
"You mean, Prince Ning already had this disobedient intention as early as the beginning?"….
"Who knows, maybe."
Intrigued by Xu Xun's attitude, Liu Jin suddenly turned red with anger: "It turns out that you were prepared for it. This time you went to Jiangnan to deceive me!"
Liu Jin was so excited that she called her old self again, but Xu Xun also put down the small tea cup, looked Liu Jin directly in the eyes and said: "Prince Ning has approached you about returning the guard, you don't have to accept it.
But you took it for the sake of the gold and silver treasures; the courtiers were very dissatisfied with the restoration of the guard because of the numerous crimes of the leader of Ning Fan, but you ignored it and still pushed for it; Yang Shen, after my promotion
At the banquet, you reprimanded Prince Ning in court. If you were smart, you should have taken out yourself immediately, but instead of doing so, you instructed Zhang Xilu to transfer Yang Tinghe to Nanjing. As for this time, you really wanted to distance yourself from yourself again, but in the end
The emperor is already suspicious. Old Liu, as long as you are one step ahead, I will deceive you, how can you fall in love with me?"
Many veterans have experienced Xu Xun's Ci Feng in frustration, but now it's Liu Jin's turn. He is no better than those veterans. While his face is red and his neck is thick, he is even more annoyed. However, with Xu Xun,
After staring at each other for a long time, he realized that the situation was over and finally fell down, with deep regret on his face.
"You are right, I have gone all the way. If I hadn't been evil-minded and ruthless, Zhang Yong would have been fine. Gu Dayong was determined not to leave me alone. Even Ma Yongcheng, Wei Bin and Luoxiang were determined to stay.
I'm holding on to a sliver of leeway and won't follow you and throw bricks at me. Hey, I've been hanging out in the palace for decades, and I've forgotten the principle of sharing the benefits. I deserve this day! Very good, even if I die,
You are not a fool, I am here now, you can kill or cut me into pieces as you please!"
Seeing the bachelor look on Liu Jin's face, Xu Xun seemed to have seen the old eunuch who was so smiling when they first met, and couldn't help laughing and said: "It's now like this, Old Liu, why are you still trying to trick me?"
?It’s up to you to kill or cut into pieces. You, the Chief of Ceremonies and the Chief Eunuch, were appointed by the Emperor. It is naturally the Emperor’s idea to remove, demote or kill you! Now that you want to profit from this Nanchang vanguard military camp for Prince Ning,
For the sake of our relationship, I naturally won’t do anything to you!"
Liu Jin originally wanted to risk his life. In the future, as long as Zhu Houzhao knew that he died in Xu Xun's hands, even if the alliance letter in Zhu Chenhao's hand was leaked, he might be a little concerned about the old friendship and alienate Xu Xun. Who knows that he would hear this
In this case! Unbelievable, he couldn't help but put his hands on the high seat between the two of them and stood up, feeling confused and wary at the same time.
"What do you want!"
"I've already said that I won't do anything to you." Xu Xun slowly stood up and said calmly. "I would like to teach you, Old Liu, that when we came out of Nanjing, I already informed Wei Guogong
Xu Yan and the garrison eunuch Zheng Qiang will naturally send troops into Jiangxi to suppress the bandits in the name of Nanjing garrison. By the way, I came out this time with the imperial edict to suppress the bandits. After all, the avant-garde of the government army is still working in Jinan.
In this case, I, the Marquis of Pingbei, who has not yet taken off the role of the vanguard of the government army, am not violating the rules by mobilizing troops and horses into Jiangxi to suppress bandits. As for the other guards in Jiangxi Dusi, they have all received orders from Nanchang Prefecture to suppress bandits. I guess
It will be here in the next day or two, please go back and inform His Highness Prince Ning of these words."
Although she knew that Xu Xun had already set up a trap for her to infiltrate, Liu Jin still felt a trace of deep panic in her heart when she heard Xu Xun's response admitted by him again. Seeing that Xu Xun suddenly called out
There was a sound, and immediately several people came in quickly from outside. Although they didn't come up to drag him rudely, they all stood around him with eager eyes. They looked like they would take him out if he didn't obey. He took a deep breath.
He took a breath, suddenly flicked his sleeves and strode out. But before he reached the door, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind...
"I almost forgot what you said. There is one more important thing. You two should go out first!"
Liu Jin couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Xu Xun was selling in his gourd, so he simply didn't turn around. However, the words that came from behind made his expression suddenly change, and he even felt a little unsteady on his feet.
"Old Liu, for the sake of our friendship in the past, I will finally give you a clear path. Even if you have a clue and Zhu Chenhao holds it, you don't have to go all the way to the dark side.
Being in the Cao camp and having a heart in the Han Dynasty is the best choice. If you can kill Zhu Chenhao at the most critical moment, at least no one else in the Liu family will have to bear the charge of treason. You are the chief minister of rites, think about it
You should be very aware that there is such an article in the Ming Dynasty law. Anyone who conspires or commits treason, but who is complicit in the conspiracy, will be executed without distinction. Grandfathers, fathers and sons, grandson brothers and people who live together will not be distinguished by different surnames and uncles and brothers.
The sons, regardless of their origins, who are sixteen or older, regardless of whether they are seriously ill or disabled, will be killed. Those who are younger than fifteen, as well as his mother, daughter, wife, and sisters, if the son's wives and concubines, are given to the family of the hero as slaves, and their property is transferred to the official. Liu
It took a lot of effort for our family to achieve what it is today, so don’t bring trouble to the Liu family!"
The pale-faced Liu Jin turned around tremblingly, and seeing Xu Xun's pale expression, he couldn't help pricking his palms with his nails, and his voice was sharp and sharp without pretending: "I don't believe you are so kind! That person at the front.
Can Zheng Tianming keep it a secret? What if Prince Ning asks about it after I go back?"
"Zheng Tianming, you don't have to worry. He only wants a future and will not cause trouble. As for you going back to Prince Ning's Mansion, just say that the situation here has been decided and just ask Prince Ning to come to the city gate to supervise the troops. As for me, I am not a good person.
, If I hadn’t agreed to Lao Gu and eradicated the roots, I might have carried it out to the end! However, your Liu family doesn’t have many talents. I certainly wouldn’t do such a thing just to go on a killing spree and fall out with Lao Gu.”
Here, Xu Xun's face showed an interesting smile again, "Speaking of which, this is the biggest difference between me and you, Old Liu. As long as you are in the same boat with me, unless you plan to get off the boat or jump to another
If I get on the boat, I will definitely treat him as one of my own, and I will never treat him as a slave who can be ordered around casually like you do!"
"Okay, okay!" Liu Jin finally burst out these two words, and his throat felt fishy and sweet for a while. The smell of blood made his head feel dizzy. However, he tried his best to suppress this feeling and spoke word by word.
He said quietly, "Remember what you said today! If you dare to go back on your word in the future, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Liu Jin staggered out of the meeting hall. When he stood under the bright sunshine again, his face was a deathly gray color. The grass was cut but the root was not removed, and the spring breeze regenerated it. This was the result of his many years of ups and downs in the palace.
The lesson is just like if he wins this time, he will never let Xu Xun's father-in-law and daughter go! However, Gu Dayong just asked him for such a favor, and Xu Xun actually agreed. They were really
Are you being generous, just pretending, or are you crazy?
He couldn't care less about that. What Xu Xun said was not just a trick to get rid of his family, but it might also be his only way to survive. But if he could succeed in one fell swoop and escape with luck, then he could still win back Zhu Houzhao's favor.
It’s not like he has no chance to be in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies with unparalleled authority! But the most important thing is that he must first pass the test of meeting Prince Ning after returning! (To be continued)
