Chapter six hundred and fourteen: fight for a better
Liu Chengfeng immediately stood up and said to the eunuch: "Did you have the will?"
The eunuch recognized Liu Chengfeng, immediately smiled and said with a giggle: "Yes, it's the decree of the Empress, it's the decree of the emperor. Liu Chengfeng will listen to the decree."
He raised his voice and said, "The imperial edict said: Liu Chengfeng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, traveled thousands of miles back to the capital, which is very difficult. My palace thought of his hard work and great achievements, and set up a banquet in the palace. At noon on the same day, he was the minister.
Welcoming air..."
The eunuch passed the imperial edict, but the content of the imperial edict is worth pondering. The emperor did not issue the imperial edict, but the empress came down. And the first thing to be sure was not that he worked hard and made great contributions, but that it was difficult to travel thousands of miles. This means that hard work
It seemed to be more than the credit. Liu Chengfeng laughed in his heart, and he knew in his heart that the current situation might not be beneficial to him.
The reason why the palace issued this imperial edict was not only the queen's meaning but also the queen's meaning. Their meaning was the same, and they did not want to be neglected.
But the background of this imperial edict is also very strange. The emperor does not want people to be neglected, so how could he do such a strange thing? The reason is actually very simple. Some people in the court are making trouble. Not only are they making trouble, but even the emperor has to avoid it.
Its sharpness.
In later generations, when talking about the emperor, people all thought that in this supreme era of imperial power, the emperor was the only one. However, after truly coming into contact with this era, Liu Chengfeng had already known that although the imperial power in the world was useful, it was here
Under the imperial power, there are countless interest groups. Some of them use the imperial power to pretend to be powerful, some use the public opinion of the world to curb the imperial power, and some gather together to form a party to control the imperial power.
Cheng Fan suddenly mentioned the incident in Lianzhou, and actually issued a warning to Liu Chengfeng. Cheng Fan's warning was that the business bank recruited so many guards. If you really count it, it was just to raise private soldiers, and this group of people was also to raise them.
Private soldiers are not only huge in scale, but also have their weapons and fierceness that are even far more powerful than the guards and horses in various places, and are even more elite than the border troops.
Some people are going to use these guards to make a fuss.
Now there is still one and a half hours before noon. Liu Chengfeng is not in a hurry to work, so he greeted the eunuch and said, "Does my father-in-law have to sit and go back to report? It's hard to come so far, take a tea.
Let's go again."
The eunuch smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Master, it's not that the family of the zodiac family will not accept your affection. The family of the zodiac family will go to the mansion of the masters to preach the imperial edict later."
Liu Chengfeng was shocked. However, he didn't show any signs on his face and said, "Oh? Didn't you talk about the family banquet? Why, many adults also want to attend?"
The eunuch said: "The Queen Mother is what she meant. Not only did she ask several Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Even Liu Jian and Liu Gong also invited her. In addition to the six ministries, there are also the chief officials of each court and temple, and
Some royal relatives…”
Liu Chengfeng let the eunuch leave, a smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but say to himself: "This Empress is passionate, but it's a pity..."
Cheng Fan, the official next to him, couldn't help but say, "Is the Empress trying to be a peacemaker? Take advantage of this banquet to ease the relationship between Lord Liu?"
Liu Chengfeng said coldly: "This relationship cannot be eased, it will only allow everyone to fight today. This is fine. I believe that Liu Ji also knows that if he doesn't take action today, when the Empress is serious about persuading peace, he will be
It’s not enough to do it. Today is when Liu Ji and I show up. If he wants to fight, I will fight. Lord Cheng, Mr. Liu is exhausted from traveling, so he said goodbye."
Cheng Fan thought that Liu Chengfeng was going back to make the final preparations or thinking hard about good plans, so he hurriedly said, "It's easy to leave, and the officials have official duties, so I'll send them away not far."
The two said goodbye, Liu Chengfeng left the Ministry of Rites, and neither went home nor did he go to do any official business. Instead, he took Gao Qiang and others to find a place to have dinner. It was still morning, and in the early morning, Liu Chengfeng and others were waiting for someone.
Having used breakfast, Gao Qiang and others felt inexplicable when they saw Liu Chengfeng taking them to dinner. They forced themselves to curiosity and accompanied Liu Chengfeng into a restaurant. When the restaurant was waiting for the food, Gao Qiang couldn't help it.
He asked, "Sir, didn't you say that the palace was given a banquet at noon? Are you hungry now?"
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "It's not that I'm hungry now, but that I'm planning ahead. I guess I'm going to give a banquet in the palace at noon, so I'll definitely not be able to eat anything. Now I'm full and I'll be energetic later."
Gao Qiang's eyes became strange when he looked at Liu Chengfeng, but he still couldn't help asking: "What else can I do if I don't eat wine or food in the palace?"
Liu Chengfeng said lightly: "Strive to get taller."
When the food and food were served, Liu Chengfeng was very polite and feasted. He ate two bowls of rice and cleaned the dishes. The table of dishes was empty, which made the Gaoqiang couple secretly stun their tongues. After touching their belly, Liu Chengfeng
After asking about the time, it was almost time to get noon. Then he looked serious and said seriously: "Go to the Meridian Gate."

The Queen's decree was sent out, and the invited ministers were stunned at first, but then they understood what was going on.
There are some things that the emperor is not easy to speak, but the empress is easy to speak. For example, wasn’t Liu Chengfeng so much trouble recently? This banquet is mostly to appease Liu Chengfeng, but also to persuade him to make peace.
I told Liu Ji to stop making trouble. If you make trouble, the queen will turn against you.
It was a bit surprising when things got to this point. Who would have thought that even Queen Zhang, who had never been able to come out, was involved in this trouble today.
Many people are waiting for Liu Ji's attitude now, wanting to see what method will Liu Ji use to deal with it.
In fact, when Liu Ji received the imperial edict, he immediately called Zhou Cheng, the left censor of the Censorate, to discuss it in the study.
The Censorate is also a yamen ranked by the Ming Dynasty, with great power. You must know that most of the chief officials from all over the country, who advocated the governors of one side, had the part-time job of the right deputy censor in the Censorate at the same time.
Therefore, there are many officials in the Censorate. No one should be underestimated by the left censor to the right censor, and then to the right deputy censor. Zhou Cheng did not have a smooth career in his official career. He once worked in the Censorate of Nanjing.
The Censor of the Imperial Palace has been crying for more than ten years. When he thought he had no hope of returning to Beijing, he was supported by Liu Ji and has now become a powerful man.
Zhou Cheng knew this in his heart that without Liu Ji, there would be no today. If Liu Ji fell, he would have to be finished. Let him go back to Nanjing? That is absolutely impossible. Instead of doing this, it would be better to follow Liu Ji wholeheartedly.
It was precisely because Liu Ji knew Zhou Cheng’s thoughts that Liu Ji was very relieved about Zhou Cheng and thought he was a confidant. In this study, Liu Ji was frowning.
Zhou Cheng looked at Liu Ji's eyes and was silent for a long time before saying, "Mr. Liu, is it because he is worried about Empress Zhang's banquet?"
Liu Ji said lightly: "The Empress prefers Liu Chengfeng, which is well-known. This time is a family dinner in name, but it is a warning to me to not cause trouble. If I am at a banquet later
After that, the empress persuaded me and asked me to give up. If I didn't agree, I would offend the empress. But if I agreed, I would have been busy with everything I had done these days. In my opinion, it would be only for me to eliminate Liu Chengfeng.
Today, we must not delay any more. The more time is, the longer it will be, and the longer it will be, and I will definitely die. My son will succeed. What do you think I should do?"
Zhou Cheng glanced at Liu Ji, but quickly understood Liu Ji's intentions and said, "Since Mr. Liu said that, I must have had a lot of conspiracy in his heart, so why should I ask the officials?" He expressed his serious expression: "Secretary Officer."
Thanks to the support of Liu Gong, the re-creation of his grace cannot be repaid. He is willing to follow Liu Gong's horse. No matter what Liu Gong does, his subordinates are willing to go through fire and water."
Liu Ji said that just now, he was going to test Zhou Cheng's attitude. Now that he saw Zhou Cheng's expression, his face suddenly became serious and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then let's just show up with Liu Chengfeng today.
I just ask you, I will tell you what you are going to investigate, what is it now?"
Zhou Chengdao: "Time is in a hurry, and there is no time to prove it. However, there are many charges, Liu Gong..."
Liu Ji waved his hand and said gently: "You don't have to talk to me one by one. When you go to the banquet later, you can report the truth. Then I will naturally cheer for you."
Zhou Cheng was complaining in his heart. Of course he knew that Liu Ji had let him be a pawn. Whether this matter was successful or not, it was all his fault. If it was done, the emperor and the empress would love Liu Chengfeng quite much.
He was criticizing Liu Chengfeng here. Even if he forced the emperor to deal with Liu Chengfeng, he would eventually have a grudge against him in the emperor's heart. But if it fails, Liu Chengfeng will definitely take revenge, so no matter what
, He will inevitably suffer a blow. But if he does not obey Liu Ji's instructions, Liu Ji can not only support him, but also make him lose everything. At this time, the arrow is on the string and he has to fire it. He has to bite the bullet and can only do so.
Destiny is to follow.
Zhou Cheng had no choice but to say, "The lower official obeys the order."
Liu Ji was in a good mood, stood up, touched Zhou Cheng's shoulder, and said earnestly: "You don't have to worry, I will plan for you at that time, just be sure to impeach boldly. It's not too early, you
I'll set off quickly.”
Zhou Cheng said yes, but he stood up with a complicated mind. He always felt that Liu Ji was not very reliable. Once something happened, he might have to separate himself from him and feel confused.
Then, he sighed secretly, then gritted his teeth again, knowing that he was going to fight to the death today.
