The three assistants sat in the room as usual. Compared to the past, there was obviously a little more deserted here. The harmony of the past has disappeared. Even Li Dongyang and Xie Qian rarely whispered. To put it bluntly
In fact, I am afraid that there will be ears in the partition walls.
In the past few days, the capital has been very uneasy, especially for the cabinet. I feel that many things in the past are different now. A few months ago, the cabinet was in charge of everything, and neither the East Factory nor the Jinyiwei dared to avoid it.
Its sharpness, but now the cabinet ministers have become blind and deaf, and their mobilization of the Jinyiwei has completely lost control.
Li Dongyang is increasingly worried about the current situation. Since Liu Jian recovered from illness, the conflicts in the court have gradually become sharper. A few days ago, a large number of censors used the affairs of the Ministry of Rites to impeach again, which means that the court has gradually deviated from it.
Take control.
In the court, a considerable number of officials have stood opposite Li Dongyang. In fact, the reason is very simple, not because of political views. The most important thing is that when Liu Jian was in power, there were only so many officials, so some people must be very popular.
Most people are on the bench. In the past, Liu Jian was just talking nonsense in the cabinet, and no one dared to say anything. These frustrated people had no other way except to perform hard and strive to gain the eye of the cabinet. But now,
When Liu Jian fell and Liu Ji entered the cabinet, the conflicts in the cabinet intensified, which also made many frustrated people take advantage of the opportunity. They saw through Liu Ji's thoughts. If they were to lean on Liu Ji's thighs at this time, there would be hope for this career.
At this time, Li Dongyang was obviously under great pressure. Although the emperor had been leaving these impeachment memorials to the end, the impeachment of the Ministry of Rites was not punished, which made many people feel brave, so the impeachment of the people became more and more impeached.
The more it will gradually disintegrate Li Dongyang's prestige. For cabinet ministers, it will be difficult to make up for the loss of prestige. However, Li Dongyang has no choice but to be helpless in such a disturbing impeachment. If he attacks these impeached officials, it will inevitably be
It makes people feel that Li Dongyang has no stomach and may even trigger a bigger rebound, but if he lets go, these people will be even more eager.
As for Liu Ji, he was looking forward to the show. He won this game completely. Li Dongyang was overwhelmed with almost no effort.
In fact, if Li Dongyang is like Liu Ji, he can be indifferent, just like Liu Ji, the nickname Liu Mianhua, and he is not afraid of impeachment. It would be fine. Although Li Dongyang can tolerate it, he cannot be as thick-skinned as a city wall after all.
.Li Dongyang's life is so sad.
Everything is as usual today. The three of them sat behind the desk, and none of them made any noise. However, after Liu Ji had dealt with the memorial at hand, he deliberately coughed and said lightly: "Mr. Li, have you heard of it?
Is it? Recently, those Jinyiwei are becoming less and less powerful."
Li Dongyang still looked indifferent. He felt deeply sorry for Liu Mianhua. He simply regarded Liu Ji's words as wind in his ears.
Xie Qiangeng simply snorted coldly, as if he was not with him.
Liu Ji didn't care and said lightly: "They actually dared to investigate the ministers of the court without authorization. This kind of thing was only possible during the Chenghua period. Today's emperor is very wise and caring for officials. He repeatedly mentioned that he could not be punished.
But those lieutenants were so good that they actually put people in Liu Jian and Liu Gong's mansion to follow him. What do they mean? Who is Liu Gong? He was also an old minister who had been through three dynasties. Although he is now recuperating at home, he is still in the Ming Dynasty.
The chief minister of the court cabinet, even Mr. Liu, had to follow him. Could it be that he regarded the important officials of our court as a rebellion? This trend is getting worse and worse. If this continues, they will dare to follow Mr. Liu, and they will dare to focus on us.
Everyone in the room, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad. Let’s just watch Liu Gong get angry?"
Liu Ji's words were very impressive, but his purpose was also simple. There were many Jinyiwei in his mansion. Originally, Jinyiwei was divided into two types: sitting and sting, secret spy. Sitting and sing were the rule of the court.
There is inevitably one in the palace of every minister in the yamen. However, after Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he abolished some of the important officials' slept. However, now, there are no one in the slept, but there are secret agents.
The secret agent is so disgusting that he is many times more disgusting than a lie. These people are mixed into the mansion and follow him everywhere, even buying your family and servants to inquire about the news for them. It is said that they know exactly which wife you and you have had a house. Liu Ji knew very well.
One of them was found in the mansion, but he was a personal army. Liu Ji had no choice but to pinch his nose and recognize him. But he just didn't want to argue with him. In fact, he knew in his heart.
This is the case that the court wants to find out the church. He, Grand Secretary Liu, has also become the target of catching up. Therefore, if you want to get rid of these disgusting things, you cannot stand out, but you can encourage others to stand out. For example, Liu Jian must be
One of the suspects, letting Liu Jian stand out is the best.
In fact, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian also heard a little about what Liu Ji said, saying that they were investigating the case of the rebellion. But they never thought that the Jinyiwei actually targeted Liu Jian. Li Dongyang couldn't help but show a hint of displeasure on his face and said: "
Is this a matter serious?”
Liu Ji said lightly: "It's true. To be honest, I also heard some rumors. The person who was in charge of investigating the case was Liu Chengfeng. Who is Liu Chengfeng? You must know that he is the ruthless master.
Son, who can guarantee that he will not cause trouble? Now a commander and commander have actually rode on the head of the cabinet chief. I must write a letter at that time, and strive for justice for Mr. Liu no matter what.
Liu Ji spoke with great righteousness.
Xie Qian couldn't help but get angry at this time and said, "Liu Chengfeng is not good. The palace asked him to investigate, he just wanted to investigate, but who is Liu Gong? How could he be a rebellious party? He is too much of a problem.
.”
Unlike Xie Qian, Li Dongyang's face was very dull, but his heart was filled with storms.
This Liu Ji is really very simple in his methods. No wonder even the emperor praised his ability. This person is so scheming that he is afraid he is still above him.
Everyone knows about Dingxian Monk that day. Before his death, Dingxian Monk said that his accomplice was named Liu. Since he was surnamed Liu, all the people with surnamed Liu would be within the scope of doubt. Liu Jian is, and Liu Ji is, too.
Now Liu Ji's family has already followed the Jinyiwei, and Liu Ji's reason for spreading the news is nothing more than one reason.
Xiang Zhuang danced his sword with the intention of Pei Gong. He was attacking the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, but his real target was Li Dongyang.
Who is Liu Jian? He was the leader of the cabinet led by Li Dongyang. After Liu Jian became a scholar, he still had a great influence in the court. Not to mention anything else, in the cabinet alone, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian were their confidants.
Now that Liu Ji has spread this matter, the purpose is actually very simple. Liu Jian has been recovering from illness and is now bullied by the Jinyiwei. Aren’t you his accomplices? Then we have to see what actions you will do.
If he was indifferent, Liu Ji would simply take the letter on his head, under the banner of running for Liu Jian. Then Li Dongyang, Liu Jian's closest and capable assistant, would probably be despised, and an irrelevant person would be willing to stand up.
As a colleague of Liu Jian for many years, you are the closest partner of others, but you dare not say a word. I am afraid that the rest of Liu Jian's party members will have to rebel against him, Li Dongyang, and Liu Jian is the whole.
The party will split in just a few days, so he can take advantage of the opportunity.
But if he was seriously asked to argue with Liu Jian, Li Dongyang understood that this time, the case investigated by Liu Chengfeng was of great importance. Without the emperor's secret decree, he would never be so unscrupulous and dared to put someone in Liu Jian.
In his mansion, he was facing the Jinyiwei, or facing the emperor, interfering in the palace to investigate the rebellion, which was a big problem.
No matter what choice Li Dongyang makes, it is a dilemma. Liu Ji thought of this and opened his words at this time, in fact, forced him to make a decision.
Li Dongyang pondered and said nothing. Xie Qian beside him could not bear it anymore and said, "Binzhi, the Jinyiwei is too ridiculous. You can investigate the case, but when it comes to Liu Gong's head, it's too much to deceive others. I'm here
The letter was written that the court had to issue a decree to revoke the captain from Liu Gong's mansion. What was this? Liu Gong was very old and devoted his efforts to the court. Now that he is old, he is suspected.
snort!"
Li Dongyang knew that it would be impossible for him to make a decision at this time. His eyes couldn't help but glance at the slightly lustful Liu Ji, and then said lightly: "Yu Qiao said it well, and this is the only way to do it now.
You and I will write a letter now, and no matter what, we should ask the emperor to go online. Everyone in the world may be a rioter, but Mr. Liu will never be. I am willing to use the head to guarantee it."
Liu Ji smiled slightly, and after listening to Li Dongyang's words, he exclaimed: "Mr. Li is righteous, and today I have opened my eyes." Although he was admiring, he was a little disappointed. In fact, Liu Ji hoped that Li Dongyang would do it.
Another decision, although Li Dongyang's decision was to deal with the Jinyiwei as a front pawn for him, Liu Ji, but it was a pity that he could not disintegrate Liu Jian's party.
Li Dongyang had a gloomy face and said lightly: "Yu Qiao, you can draft a memorial first. I will read the memorials on hand first." He took a sip of tea and continued: "Let's go together later, you and I will do it together."
When you enter the palace to meet, you must keep Liu Gong’s face no matter what.”
