The heavy rain could not stop the Jinyiwei from retreating like a tide. After giving the order, everyone retreated.
Zhu Youzhang was extremely tired. After sitting on the chasing, he waved to Liu Chengfeng and signaled Liu Chengfeng to go up. Liu Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, but still went up. The chasing was very wide. When he entered, he was completely isolated from the rain outside. There was a hand stove and incense burner, mixed with a warm and slightly fragrant smell.
The pirate was lifted up, and Zhu Youting's hand was pressed against the handle beside the chair, while Liu Chengfeng could only bend down to stand. Although this place was wide, the space given to Liu Chengfeng was a bit cramped. Zhu Youting looked at him and said, "Do you want to sit on my side?"
The seat that he had climbed up to was actually enough to sit on three people. He moved his seat and probably couldn't bear to Liu Chengfeng standing so frustratedly. Liu Chengfeng shook his head and said, "What are your instructions?"
Zhu Youzhang sighed, no longer forced himself, and said, "This matter must be suppressed as soon as possible, but the Jinyiwei's previous movement was too great, so it is inevitable that people will guess, what are you doing?"
Liu Chengfeng said: "Your Majesty, why not create something else?"
"Hmm? You said?" Zhu Youzhang said slowly.
Liu Chengfeng said: "Your Majesty, the so-called rumors are nothing more than public opinion. When ordinary people do nothing, they will inevitably discuss some things in the palace, but when something bigger happens in the palace?"
Zhu Youzhang didn't understand very well, so he shook his head and said, "No matter what, I will leave this matter to you."
Liu Chengfeng had no choice but to respond.
Zhu Youzing said again: "The Zhou Cheng case has made you feel wronged and worked hard. However, I am plagued by all kinds of illnesses and will not reward you for the time being. Don't blame me in your heart."
Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Your Majesty has made me panic. If you give me additional rewards, I will be uneasy."
Zhu Youzhang looked very tired, and he suppressed his hands and said, "I'm back to the palace. Go and do things." He asked someone to put down his chasing and let Liu Chengfeng go. It was still raining outside. However, the rain was much smaller than before. When Liu Chengfeng walked out, someone immediately held an umbrella for him, put on a straw raincoat and hat, and then watched Zhu Youzhang's chasing far away.
However, Xie Qian refused to leave. He grabbed Liu Chengfeng and said coldly: "Liu Chengfeng, you are so bold. Your Majesty is seriously ill. Why don't you report to the cabinet?"
Liu Chengfeng cursed in his heart: "I am a personal army. You are the cabinet, why should I report the message to you?" He looked solemn on his face and said: "This is what Your Majesty means, what can I do? Lord Xie wants to ask, why did I have the responsibility to ask the emperor? Besides, this is a secret matter in the palace. Since Your Majesty has concealed something from the cabinet, I believe Your Majesty has his own considerations. Why should the cabinet ask more questions?"
These words were a little too impolite. Xie Qian was so angry that he wanted to stamp his feet, but Liu Chengfeng's words were not unreasonable, leaving him with nothing to say. He had to smile coldly and said, "Okay. OK..." After that, he left.
When Liu Chengfeng saw him walking away, he wanted to laugh in his heart. If it were the past, the cabinet was dominant. When Mou Bin was still in the Jinyiwei, he would not dare to hide anything from the cabinet? But now it is completely different. Liu Chengfeng is not Mou Bin or the cabinet's kowtower. The Jinyiwei can no longer be a puppet for the cabinet. Unfortunately, Xie Qian still didn't understand this change, but instead thought everything was taken for granted.
Liu Chengfeng was standing in the rain wearing a straw raincoat. Several lieutenants quickly caught up with him. One of them said, "Sir, what should I do now?"
Liu Chengfeng held his hands behind his back and said in a plain tone: "What else can I do? If you kill someone, you must be buried? Everyone should not appear at will without my instructions. Tell everyone that if someone asks, we will say that our Jinyiwei went to the streets to drain the capital, and today's actions should not be leaked at will. Wantong's mansion is at any time to monitor him. If he comes out of the mansion, he will report at any time. Yes, isn't there a Yilin newspaper in the capital? Let me go with this newspaper."
Fortunately, it was raining so heavily in the capital, and there was no people on the road, so the news was blocked very quickly. Now the emperor is almost exhausted. The more he cares about the beginning and ending, his face is particularly important for the palace. If the court and the public stop talking about this, Liu Chengfeng must divert everyone's attention.
The imperial edict of the court was issued the second day. When the news came out, it caused an uproar. Liu Jian resumed and Liu Ji retired. These two cabinet bosses from the Liu surname changed one by one. Moreover, this time Liu Jian entered the cabinet as a chief assistant, and Liu Ji's retirement was enough to make people a little confused. Logically speaking, ordinary people mostly resigned a few times. The palace acted helplessly and then approved it. However, Liu Ji went on a resignation memorial, and the palace first stayed, and then immediately approved it. He didn't even leave the procedure, so he just sent him out.
It must be extraordinary here. Immediately afterwards, another news broke out that the Jinyiwei suddenly surrounded Liu Ji and Wantong's mansion two days ago. In addition, it is said that even the Jinyiwei in Honglu Temple also had a conflict with people and killed more than 70 people. So for a moment, rumors spread everywhere.
Many people speculated whether something big happened, but everyone was confused for a while, and the versions of various rumors were different and messy.
However, next, an article was published by Yilin Newspaper. The newspaper was very bold and even reported on the front page that it was said that King Ning Zhu Jinjun was a manly person and searched for children everywhere in Nanchang Prefecture, causing the entire Nanchang to be confused. Not only that, it is said that King Gao Zhu Chenhao was also good at this. The father and son even argued with each other for a boy. As a result, Zhu Chenhao was injured by his father and became a eunuch.
The news was very clear, and it also said that a boy who was forced by his father and son had already fled to the tiger's mouth and came to the capital to sue the emperor. In order to maintain the reputation of the royal family, the palace naturally refused to accept it and deliberately suppressed the news.
As soon as the news from the Yilin newspaper came out, it did not attract attention immediately. After all, everyone was talking about the affairs of Jinyiwei and Liu Ji, and they had no intention of paying attention to such things for the time being.
But gradually, some people began to use this matter as a topic of conversation after dinner. There was something like a man's style in the Ming Dynasty. Many high-ranking officials and nobles actually liked it, but this kind of thing can only be understood but not expressed in words. In other words, you can play with it, but you must not be promoted. The royal prince actually regards the man's style as the best. He castrated his son for the sake of his children. This kind of thing is inevitably a bit mysterious.
However, what really made this topic hot was not because of the news from Yilin News, but the actions of the government. As soon as the news spread, it immediately attracted people from the Jinyiwei. Hundreds of Jinyiwei surrounded the Yilin Newspaper and searched the newspaper. Not only that, even the owners and editors of the newspaper were asked about it. It is said that dozens of people were arrested at that time, but they did not say the charges and went directly to the imperial prison, and no one came out.
This suddenly turned out to be a hornet's nest. In recent years, newspapers have been popular all over the world and have become an indispensable part of many people. Because the newspaper itself represents the Qing Dynasty's arguments and has many connections with gentry scholars, the cabinet has always turned a blind eye to newspapers, but now, the Jinyiwei has actually taken people.
If we didn't take anyone, we would just think that the news about Ning Wang and his son was a joke. However, when the newspaper searched, many people could not help but speculate that the news published by the Yilin newspaper was mostly true. It was precisely because the news was accurate that the Jinyiwei took such an extreme reaction. Isn't this a warning to the people more than to prevent Sichuan?
More importantly, each newspaper published the same news almost the next day. On all the front pages, it was about the Ning Wang and his son fighting for children. These "backbone" scholars clearly used their actions to provoke the Jinyiwei. You can use the people of the Yilin newspaper to destroy the Yilin newspaper's newspaper. Our newspaper also published the same content as the Yilin newspaper. I want to see how bold your Jinyiwei is. Can you still handle all the newspapers and all the scholars?
Public opinion immediately turned, and with the boost from the newspaper, the government and the people began to discuss the news about Ning Wang and his son. This was actually a trend. The more the government suppressed the news, the more frightened the birds, the more everyone talked about it. At the same time, the calls for the release of the Yilin newspaper office were getting stronger and stronger. Some scholars were filled with righteous indignation, so naturally they could write a few wrong poems to exaggerate the ugliness of Ning Wang and his son's obsession with breaking sleeves. Anyone who dared to scold Ning Wang and his son in the street would cause a burst of praise in the market, so that for several consecutive days, all newspaper articles revolved around Ning Wang and his son, and some tabloids compiled various jokes and poured dirty water on the head of Ning Wang and his son.
In fact, anyone who knows it knows that the Jinyiwei and the Ning Wang and his son have always been not harmonious. How could Ning Wang and his son use the Jinyiwei? But this is the case in the world. If you don’t tell them, you don’t know them, but you are most interested in talking about them. The more you don’t know, the more you can talk nonsense and tell countless jokes. But there is another truth in this world that the truth is always dull, and people from the government and the country are more inclined to write various jokes, because only these exaggerated and bizarre jokes can satisfy everyone’s psychology. Therefore, the Ning Wang and his son are so stinking that they are extremely stinky and stinking. Liu Ji has long been forgotten and no one has ever paid attention to it.!~!
