After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was silent. He was really shaken at this time.
Although he is not afraid of the world, he is usually under the wings of his father and mother, and has never experienced any storms. The ministers suddenly attacked, and Mongolia was aggressive, even the empress dowager was hard to predict.
At this moment, he suddenly felt an indescribable isolation.
This is not a question of whether to trust Liu Jin or not. The real problem is that under this pressure, Zhu Houzhao will not sacrifice Liu Jin to make peace.
In terms of relationship, he and Liu Jin were with each other day, and the relationship was extremely deep, but...
Zhu Houzhao sighed. He thought that as the emperor, he would have many rights, but who knew that all he got was invisible pressure, which made him feel a little breathless.
"You guys go down, I think about it again." Zhu Houzhao shook her head depressedly and drove Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai out.
Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai all came out of the Zhengxin Hall, but they were full of thoughts. They had a premonition that if they could not do anything in this storm, they were afraid that in the end, they would become victims.
It seems that this time it is targeting a guerrilla general, but judging from the various actions of the cabinet, it is clearly dealing with Liu Jin, but Liu Jin is not isolated. Behind Liu Jin are the Eight Tigers, a group of upstarts after the new emperor ascended the throne.
If it were just like this, the two of them wouldn't think anything. People like Liu Jin are really not things, so there is no need to hang out with them. At most, they just use them for a while, and they will die. People like Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai even have their eyebrows.
I won't wrinkle them.
But it would be fine if I really just dealt with Bahu, Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai knew deeply. On the surface, the cabinet was attacking a guerrilla general, but to a deeper point, to Liu Jin. If I think more deeply, it was to Ba.
The tiger takes action, but what is behind this?
The real purpose behind it is not the guerrilla general, nor Liu Jin, nor the Eight Tigers. These people are just fur, just tools, and the real purpose of the cabinet is actually the emperor!
This is what Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai think are terrible. They have never seen anything in their lifetime? In the eyes of superficial people, it seems that the cabinet is only going to attack Eight Tigers, but don’t forget Eight Tigers.
It was the emperor's confidant, the vanguard in this battle between prime minister and imperial power. The things that the emperor did were exactly what the emperor wanted to do. The eight tigers competed against the cabinet, which was what the emperor thought in his heart. The eight tigers beat the ministers.
The emperor is happy to see his butt.
If we re-examine the matter, the matter will be clear. The cabinet is in great power and is pointing fingers at everything in the name of life. The young emperor is young and has almost no power to fight back against these cunning ministers.
Under the circumstances, the little emperor must have his own helper. In the deep palace, who else can the emperor's helper besides the eunuch? For the little emperor, the only eunuchs who can gain his trust and become his right-hand man are Liu Jin.
.
So the West Factory was established. Under the emperor's indulgence and even secret acquiescent instructions, the West Factory headed by Liu Jin competed with the cabinet.
If you think about this matter clearly, then all the problems will obviously be clear. The purpose of the cabinet is not the guerrilla general, not Liu Jin, nor the Eight Tigers, but the new emperor. The emperor they hope is an emperor who obeys them.
Zhu Houzhao obviously did not meet their requirements, so she decided to get rid of Liu Jin, cut off the emperor's wings, and let everything return to its original track.
This is the truth. No one who has entered the center or is in power will compete with others because of morality. Once they attack others, the only possibility is to compete for power.
It is precisely because of their insight into the real purpose of the cabinet that Zhang Cai and Jiao Fang are so worried. Their purpose is also the regime. The cabinet wants to fight for power and overwhelm the imperial power. They have already salivated the cabinet and have long had the idea of replacing it.
However, although they were born in a noble family, they were both from Shuji. They had to be qualified and had to be credited, but they were not tolerated by their colleagues under the cabinet system. If they followed their next life trajectory, they would probably not do anything at most.
The Shangshu, who is too important, should return to his hometown and return to his hometown to retire. But they are obviously not willing to do so. Who are Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian? They are just Shujishi, and everyone has the same qualifications.
Why are they the most powerful ministers but themselves in a mess?
It was precisely because of this unwillingness that the two of them felt that they had seized the opportunity when the emperor was determined to build the palace. So they turned directly to the emperor without hesitation, and what they did was to be when the imperial power was consolidated.
They directly won the cabinet with the help of this emperor's dependence on them.
The premise for whether the two can enter the cabinet is the imperial power. If the imperial power can be consolidated and overwhelmed the cabinet, they will have a day to stand out. However, if the cabinet's power grows, the aliens among the two ministers will be affected.
It's right.
so……
Liu Jin can't fall. If he is finished, the two of them will be completely finished.
"Kuke Jiao."
After leaving Zhengxin Hall, Zhang Cai glanced at Jiao Fang and said meaningfully: "What will happen to the Empress Dowager?"
Zhang Cai is an extremely smart person. He did not ask about the impeachment memorials, nor did he ask about the Mongolian letters. He only asked the Queen Mother because the only real arbitrator of the competition between the two parties was Empress Dowager Zhang. The so-called impeachment memorials, the so-called
The Mongolian letter is actually a means of winning over Empress Dowager Zhang by the cabinet. As long as Empress Dowager Zhang feels that eradicating Liu Jin can calm people's hearts and make the border town stable, then Empress Dowager Zhang's decree will no longer be able to protect Liu Jin.
But on the contrary, if Empress Dowager Zhang feels that the problem is not serious and refuses to use effective means at this time, then Liu Jin's life will be saved, and the next time will be the time for the West Factory to take revenge wildly.
Jiao Fang looked up and looked at the sky. Today, the sky was very beautiful, cloudless, clear sky. The weather was the same as the hearts of the people. You can see the present, but you can never see the future. Perhaps at this moment, the sky was blue and the next moment, there was a storm.
.
Jiao Fang was silent for a moment. At his age, a person with such qualifications had already developed the ability to hide the sharp edge in his heart, but his face was always hard to understand what he thought in his heart.
He raised his eyelids gently and said in a very plain tone: "In fact, it doesn't matter how Empress Dowager Zhang thinks, but what the emperor thinks. Lord Zhang, the emperor is the god."
If he said this, if an ordinary person was an ordinary person, he might find it strange. Now the emperor has not taken power. The empress dowager above and the cabinet below, which is full of constraints. What the emperor thinks is actually not very important, let alone the little emperor just goes out.
Zi was disrupted by someone and had no means of dealing with it. Relying on him, can Liu Jin's life and death really determine?
But Zhang Cai is a person in the center after all. After all, he realized after a moment of thinking about it. The reason why the little emperor was hesitant was because no one gave him enough courage and confidence. No one let him learn from his mistakes, as long as someone hid him.
The emperor quietly planned for him behind his back. It is still unknown who will win this duel. After all, the empress dowager can veto it because of the pressure and influence of the cabinet on the empress dowager, and it is also because of the emperor. The emperor really wants to be determined, and Empress Dowager Zhang is still
A mother, mother and son are in love, and the decision is still the emperor.
Zhang Cai couldn't help but become a little excited. The cabinet took action, but in fact there was no flaw in it. Once things could not be as they expected, the cabinet could not take over the scene in the end, and it was very likely that it would be a good match for it.
In chaos, at that time... I...
Zhang Cai said in a state of emotion: "I understand. If this is the case, why not..."
Jiao Fang smiled, gently patted Zhang Cai's shoulder with his palm, and said kindly: "Are you talking about finding Liu Jin to give him a plan? I don't think so, don't worry, then Liu Jin will come to your door.
”
As soon as he finished speaking, a little eunuch ran over, saluted the two, and said, "Two sirs, Liu Jin and Eunuch Liu have always admired the style of the two sirs, and are eager to see them, I don't know that the two sirs are willing to appreciate the glory of them."
Is it? Eunuch Liu is waiting in the side hall in front of him..."
When the little eunuch said this, Zhang Cai couldn't help but look at Jiao Fang in surprise. He vaguely felt that Jiao Fang was even more difficult than he had imagined before. In this hunched and old body, there seemed to be a deep hidden place.
The power that cannot be underestimated by stocks.
Jiao Fang just smiled gently and said, "Since that's the case, then please lead the way."
This father-in-law leads the way, Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai follow behind. This is the forbidden place of the palace. Generally speaking, ministers are not allowed to stay at will after entering the palace to meet. However, today is an exception, so the eunuch dares to lead them to the darkness.
Walking in the trail, but this place is not a harem, so you won’t bump into a noble person, so there is no too much obstacle.
Jiao Fang revealed the mystery for Zhang Cai later and said, "Who is this Liu Jin? He can have this today, all thanks to the emperor. How can he not care about serving the emperor? So I know, you just now
I am afraid that the words I am against the emperor have just come out of my mouth and have been secretly reported to Liu Jin by Liu Jin's confidant. Liu Jin is now being pointed by thousands of men, walking on thin ice. After all, he is just a eunuch and has never seen any great world.
, it is okay to make some conspiracies, but how could he have seen such a big formation? I am afraid that it is worse than the emperor who has no master at this time? At this time, he heard you and I say something good to him to the emperor, and naturally he would be like
I grabbed the life-saving straw and wanted to ask you and me to give him a way out. So I said just now, "You and I don't have to go and find that Eunuch Liu." This Eunuch Liu will find you and me."
Whether it is the inner and outer courts, it is already a matter of life and death. This time, the cabinet is going to kill Liu Jin, so we will take the opportunity to destroy the cabinet!"
When Jiao Fang said this, a hint of luster that was not commensurate with his age flashed through his turbid eyes. He had been waiting for this day for too long. Now, it was finally not his turn to be the one who was excluded.
The marginal character bursts with dazzling light.
At this time, Liu Jin was waiting anxiously in the side hall. Originally, his brother had committed a crime, and the cabinet had no movement at all. He thought it was the cabinet that was unwilling to provoke him, so Liu Jin was proud of this, but now he is criticized and impeached.
Even when the Chinese scholar entered the palace like a sea of scattered people, he was stunned. In fact, at the beginning, he still felt that the problem would not be very serious, but when the cabinet scholars directly entered the palace to find Empress Dowager Zhang, Liu Jin suddenly realized,
I might be finished, but I have been planning for a long time and have been trying hard to kill myself.
At this time, Liu Jin was restless. On the one hand, he arranged for someone to inquire about the emperor's reaction, and on the other hand, he asked someone to go to the empress dowager's harem to inquire. The emperor disappointed him, and the news received by the empress dowager was even more
Let his heart sink to the bottom.
It is said that the three great ministers have been in the empress dowager's harem for more than an hour. The empress dowager only had a female official beside him, and the rest of the palace servants were all shut down. Although there is no movement yet, there is one thing he knows. Empress Dowager Zhang is right
The people around me are not very relieved and are also wary of themselves, so they shut everyone out.
Things are not going well.
He was like an ant in a hot pan, and he was suddenly walking around in the empty hall with his hands in his arms. He stopped again and grabbed the tea table on the table and wanted to drink it. But holding the tea cup in his hand, he suddenly thought of something, tea water
I forgot to eat it, so I put it back. After sighing heavily, I suddenly gritted my teeth and sneered.
Bump...bump...bump...
There was a knock on the door outside, and the sound was crisp and rhythmic. This was Liu Jin's confidant's secret code. Liu Jin immediately came to his senses, and a trace of expectation flashed through his desperate eyes, and he hurriedly said: Come in... come in."
It was not the eunuch who came in, but Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai. They were calm and composed in front of each other. They glanced at Liu Jin who was already in vain. Liu Jin almost rushed over and fell to the ground, saying, "Miscellaneous Family."
Death is coming, and those who kill thousands of swords wanted to kill the miscellaneous family. Only the two adults said a few justice to the miscellaneous family. Today, I invited the second master to come, so I wanted to ask the second master to give advice to the miscellaneous family.
Save me..."
The eunuch in charge of the seal in the West Factory and the famous celebrity in front of the emperor, at this time, he could not care about any airs and shamelessness, and poured out all the most flattering and begging words in one breath.
Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai looked at each other, with a little calmness in their eyes and a knowing smile. However, although they didn't look down on Liu Jin, they also knew the importance of Liu Jin. Jiao Fang quickly helped Liu Jin up.
, said with a kind look: "I admire Eunuch Liu's name for a long time. Eunuch Liu is so polite. Get up and talk first."
