Liu Cheng was hit in the chest, not in the heart or face, so he didn't die immediately. However, after being hit like this with a fire gun, he was out of breath and fell to the ground.
Seeing his own blood, he screamed again and again.
The fans were at a loss. One by one they wanted to help Liu Cheng, and some quickly stepped back. When they encountered a plague god like Liu Chengfeng, everyone was unlucky.
At this time, Liu Chengfeng pointed the red-hot gun at his chin, blew it with his mouth, and then said: "Did everyone hear it? This is what Eunuch Liu asked me to fight. It was Liu.
My father-in-law admits that he is a rebel. Mr. Liu has been working as a royal guard for more than a month. He has seen many rebels and traitors. I have never seen Eunuch Liu be so honest. Eunuch Liu is really happy. Come here.
, why don’t we take down this gangster yet.”
Behind him, Chen Hongyu was dumbfounded. He thought to himself that it would work this way. At this time, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Sir, I have never seen such a cheerful person like Eunuch Chen. Brothers, take down the gangsters."
The captains rushed forward, pushed Fanzi aside, and captured Liu Cheng. Liu Cheng was still screaming: "Liu Chengfeng, later...someone from the cabinet will come to deal with you later.
You...just wait and see."
Liu Chengfeng's face was serious and he said: "The Cabinet... Why is the Cabinet trying to deal with me?"
Liu Cheng burst into tears of pain. He was held down by two captains, and his chest was bleeding again. He said bitterly: "You run a private newspaper and confuse the public with your monstrous words. Do you still want to live? Everyone in the cabinet.
My lord, I have already regarded you as...a thorn in my side...if you let the Zajia go, maybe you can be exempted..."
Liu Chengfeng's face turned grim and he said, "Are you saying that you did this because of the cabinet's instructions? Was it also the cabinet's intention to destroy the newspaper office and arrest its editors and craftsmen?"
If it had been just now, Liu Cheng might not have dared to admit it, but at this time he couldn't care about anything else. Liu Cheng screamed: "So what!"
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly, his face suddenly changed to become more serious, and said: "This is interesting, Liu Cheng, you are so brave. You want to offend the prince, not to mention destroying the newspaper office for no reason, but you still dare to bite him.
When it comes to the heads of the cabinet, the cabinet ministers are the prime ministers of the Ming Dynasty. The prime ministers can support a boat. How can they hate a newspaper? What you mean is that the cabinet of our Ming Dynasty has given you instructions to destroy it.
The newspaper office has blocked the way of speech. It is obvious that you have ulterior motives and deliberately want to pour this dirty water on the cabinet ministers. Well, since you are determined not to give up until the Yellow River, then I will give you a chance. Mr. Wang, here we are.
I'm looking for pen and ink here. I want to write a letter myself and go to the cabinet to ask whether the destruction of newspapers and the blocking of speech were ordered by them. If it is really what the cabinet ministers want, that's fine, but if not
..." Liu Chengfeng sneered at Liu Cheng and said sarcastically: "Then you are trying to incriminate the prince, hurt innocent people, and slander ministers. If you add these charges together, you can wait to be beheaded."
Not long after, Secretary Wang prepared pen and ink. Without saying a word, Liu Chengfeng rolled up his sleeves and wrote hundreds of words. He then asked Secretary Wang to dry the ink and told Secretary Wang: "Find a way to send it to the cabinet.
"
Secretary Wang nodded and left quickly.
Liu Chengfeng sat arrogantly under the statue of Yue Fei in the lobby of the Dongchang Hall, closing his eyes and concentrating. The captains and fans all gathered around. As for the fans of the Dongchang, they all looked at each other in confusion at this time, and it was not like chasing people away, that's all
It's not like standing still, but everyone thought in their hearts, let's take a look first. Since Liu has written to the cabinet, let's see what the cabinet says.
In the Hongzhi Dynasty, both Dongchang and Jinyiwei were suppressed by the cabinet. Several ministers in the cabinet were already veritable prime ministers. For Jinyiwei and Dongchang, their power came from the emperor. If the emperor trusted
, this authority is extremely hot. However, the current emperor only trusts the cabinet and relies heavily on the three cabinet ministers, causing their status to plummet and never regain its former glory.
Therefore, if the cabinet issues a message, Dongchang and Jinyiwei must listen obediently. If they say that destroying the newspaper office is not wrong, then Liu Chengfeng is guilty of running a newspaper office privately. But if they say that destroying the newspaper office is wrong, Liu Cheng will slander the cabinet.
, using the name of the cabinet to bite the prince, and taking advantage of the innocent, it is confirmed.
Liu Chengfeng looked very calm, sitting on the chair with his legs crossed and eyes closed, waiting, but at this moment, someone in the cabinet was already furious.
"absurd!"
In this dark cabinet room, a young eunuch was saying something. After hearing this, Liu Jian turned pale and couldn't help scolding him.
This cabinet bachelor, who had always been in trouble but never changed his expression, was really angry at this time. Not to mention a private newspaper office run by a hundred households in Jinyiwei, he actually dared to take people to Dongchang to cause mischief. This is simply unreasonable.
.
"What is he trying to do? He only has one hundred households, how dare he do this? If he is allowed to have one thousand households in the future, I know that he will tear down the cabinet and the Forbidden City!"
Li Dongyang, who was sitting at the bottom, looked stunned and said with a faint smile: "Why should Mr. Liu be angry with a hundred households? The anger will damage the liver. Mr. Liu has been in poor health recently, so it's better not to get angry.
"
Xie Qian was drinking tea. Usually he was always excited, but today he was surprisingly calm and silent.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, although Xie Qian hates Liu Chengfeng, he does not hate the newspaper. He is an eloquent person and likes to argue with others. He buys a copy of the newspaper every day to read the debates in it.
Although I have only read the article for half a month, Xie Qian has developed the habit of reading newspapers when he comes to the cabinet in a sedan chair early in the morning. Now that the newspaper is suddenly gone, Xie Qian feels a little uncomfortable all over.
He always felt that something was missing. Before that, he had hurriedly started to write an article for the newspaper and discuss Neo-Confucianism with Wang Shu, but he suddenly became a mirror.
Liu Jian stroked the document and said slowly: "We can't just sit back and watch this matter. Liu Chengfeng needs to be hammered. Although he has some talents, he is also a responsible person. He does things vigorously and resolutely, but he is too much.
Be upright and let him stay by the prince's side. If you don't beat him now, when he becomes famous in the future, it may cause a big disaster. This is also for his own good. Give him a lesson and beat him painfully.
He should restrain himself."
Liu Jian thought for a while and then said: "Let's deal with him for breaking into the East Factory without permission. Send a note to the Beizhen Prefecture and let Mou Bin go to his position as a hundred households and train him well. There is another thing,
Let Mu Bin personally come forward to evacuate the people brought by Liu Chengfeng from the East Factory, and also personally apologize, so let’s do that for now.”
Liu Jian's treatment did not make Li Dongyang feel disgusted. In fact, the cabinet had a tacit understanding that the education of His Highness the Crown Prince could not be slackened. The only one who could teach the Crown Prince was Liu Chengfeng, so Liu Chengfeng could not be severely punished.
, but he had to lead people to Dongchang without beating him. This matter was not trivial. If he ignored it and allowed Liu Chengfeng to continue to be arrogant, it would not be a good thing for Liu Chengfeng.
Liu Jian breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Wang Ao also informed me that Liu Chengfeng is his disciple. As a teacher, he has the unshirkable responsibility to educate his disciples. We have beaten him, but Wang Ao also
If you want to reprimand, let's use a two-pronged approach. If Liu Chengfeng is taught well, he may not be unprofitable to the country. He has done a good job in suppressing the Imperial College. Come on, get a pen and ink..."
Liu Jian rolled up his sleeves and was about to write a note. At this moment, a young eunuch outside whispered: "My lord..."
Liu Jian raised his eyes and said seriously: "What's the matter?"
The young eunuch stepped in, bowed and said, "Sir, a guard in royal robes outside the palace has delivered a letter, saying that he wants all the pavilion elders to open it and read it in person."
"Oh? A letter?" Liu Jian's eyes flashed with suspicion. The letter had been delivered to the palace, so the identity of the person delivering the letter must be unusual, so he asked: "Whose letter is it from?"
The young eunuch bowed and said, "It's Liu Chengfeng."
"Liu Chengfeng..." Liu Jian couldn't help but be moved. He mentioned Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's letter came. Could it be that this person named Liu was up to something?
Li Dongyang on the side also had a glimmer of hope in his eyes at this time, and he couldn't help but think: I really want to see how Liu Chengfeng will end up.
Xie Qian licked his lips and looked indifferent. In fact, he wanted to see what Liu Chengfeng was going to do.
"Bring it up." Liu Jian said calmly to the little eunuch, as if the mountain was about to collapse but his expression remained unchanged.
The young eunuch stepped forward respectfully and placed the letter on the slips of paper in front of Liu Jian. Liu Jian picked up the letter and looked at it as if nothing had happened. Sure enough, he saw that the envelope was written with the words signed by all the bachelors of the cabinet.
Liu Jian has seen Liu Chengfeng's calligraphy. Just looking at this cursive script, there is no doubt that it is Liu Chengfeng's handwriting.
Liu Jian smiled faintly, but couldn't help but praise: "Good words, these words are getting better and better." After saying that, he picked up the small scissors for cutting envelopes, tore a slit and took out the letter.
