While Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong were having sex with each other, Liu Jin from the capital also did something earth-shattering.
Liu Jin has always liked to do bad things, but if he does too many bad things, he will change his taste and do something good.
After Zhu Shou returned to Beijing, he changed his past lazy style of government. Not only did he insist on one dynasty on three days and one dynasty on five days, but in addition to the memorials from Donghai Company, Wushu Academy, Longjiang Bao Shipyard and other places, he also carried out memorials in Beijing.
All the local memorials from Zhili were received in his own hands.
Boss Liu's delivery of approval and Prime Minister Li's proposal could not change Zhu Shou's mind. In the local affairs of Baoding and Hejian, the emperor did not even allow the bosses of any faction to dictate.
After Wang Qinian's death, Zhu Shou handed over Hejian Mansion to Tianjin Governor Zhai Peng. The three guards of Tianjin were already on the territory of Hejian Mansion, so Zhai Peng held two posts, which did not burden him.
Faced with the emperor's aggressive offensive, Prime Minister Li, who held the power of voting, gave in first. The power of voting is the exclusive power of the chief minister, which is the preliminary proposal for handling the memorial. Other cabinet ministers can only discuss the voting.
, has no right to decide.
However, having the right to draw up votes does not give you a monopoly on government affairs, because it is only a preliminary proposal, and it must be sent to the emperor for approval, that is, using a red pen to mark the memorial. Generally speaking, with so many memorials every day, Zhu Shou simply drew a circle
, they were all exhausted to death, so the ones who really criticized him were the eunuchs who were in charge of rituals.
The right to deliver the red papers, that is, which memorials must be sent to the emperor for approval, was in Liu Jin's hands. This was the source of Liu's prestige as emperor.
Li Viper can adopt the policy of appeasement towards Boss Liu, let alone Zhu Shou.
Boss Liu understands what Zhu Shou is thinking. Today is Beizhili, and maybe in a few years, it will be Henan, Fujian, Shandong and other places.
"Your Majesty is getting older," Old Eunuch Liu lamented while drinking with Jiao Fang, Zhang Cai and others. "We old guys are becoming more and more useless."
Hooligan Jiao also sighed: "Those guys are getting harder and harder to deal with."
As mentioned before, because of the incident in Jiao Huangzhong, all the disciples of the emperor in the third year of Zhengde, no matter what faction they belonged to, were dealt a tough blow by Lao Jiao. After Lao Jiao had enough fun, he spared the lives of these proud disciples.
He began to concentrate on cleaning up his fellow civil servants.
Among the three of them, only Zhang Cai pondered for a moment and then slowly said to Liu Jin: "Please keep yourself clean."
Lao Liu and Lao Jiao were puzzled: Zhang Shangshu, you are right, we are here to worry about the emperor's growing pains. What you are telling us about being self-sufficient is of no use! Improving your moral character so well, you want to
Are you going to be a saint? You better fucking do this promising career as a minister!
Zhang Cai's overall view was not second-guessing during the Zhengde Dynasty. Unfortunately, he met Liu Jin, an unlucky guy, so he had to put it clearly: "We might as well check the two Zhili and each other to save food!"
Boss Liu and Hooligan Jiao looked at each other: Wow, this is indeed a brilliant move! Xiao Zhang takes action, one can stand up to the other two!
From the position of the three of them, the Ming Empire no longer had any secrets. They all knew what kind of tricks could kill what kind of enemies.
A census of money and food shows that as long as you are a corrupt official, you will lose countless things. But the biggest losses will be those hypocrites in the civil service group!
If you lose the face of the civil service group and become a vicious dog for the emperor, there will always be hard work without credit; without hard work, there will always be fatigue?
When the emperor saw that Mr. Liu was so hard-working and loyal, would he still have the nerve to reduce Mr. Liu's authority?
Moreover, it was a slap in the face of the civil servant group. If those hypocritical hypocrites jumped eight feet high, it would be too late for the emperor to deal with them. How could he have the energy to take care of the eunuch bosses?
This is called killing two birds with one stone. No matter how things develop, Lao Liu will always be the one sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers.
As for the revenge of the civil servant group against the eunuchs? Come on, when did these two parties stop? Over the years, not only ten thousand, but also eight thousand, or even hundreds of heroes died in the conflicts between the two parties.
Lao Liu has one advantage, that is, he does what he says without hesitation.
When Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, the old eunuch party bosses and civil servants united for the first time to get rid of the Eight Tigers and other new forces.
There are civil servants such as Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Han Wen outside, Wang Yue, Fan Heng, Chen Kuan and other eunuch giants inside, and there are also Zhongshan wolves like Li Mengyang as military advisors. The lineup is unprecedentedly luxurious, and there are many people who can block and attack others.
, the grace of Buddha blocking and killing Buddha.
But what about in the end?
Lao Liu stood up with his sword drawn, letting the civil servants' cunning plan leak to the outside, and then asked Zhu Houzhao to kill Wang Yue and others. Within a few days, the situation was decided in one fell swoop.
With this merit, Lao Liu became the well-deserved leader of the Eight Tigers and the established emperor of the court.
Therefore, the success of every historical figure is definitely not a fluke. There must be luck, but their own talents also account for a very large proportion.
On the next day, he sent his generals to Zhang Hui, Yushi Fangying and others to check the money and food of Zhili and other provinces.
If the biggest corrupt official in the Zhengde Dynasty was selected, it is guaranteed that 90% of people would vote for Lao Liu. Only corrupt officials would understand the thinking of corrupt officials. Lao Liu directly set his sights on the "Beijing debt" in various places.
With one slash, the sword bleeds, making the civil servants unable to parry.
What is Beijing Debt? Speaking of which, the instigator is actually Mr. Liu.
The Chinese Empire, both ancient and modern, has a special hobby in the officialdom, that is, they like to count all kinds of gifts, whether they are bribes or self-corruption, into the public account.
If you don’t take the things belonging to the public, you won’t take them for free, right?
After Mr. Liu came to power, he became a little more greedy and ordered officials from all over the country to go to Beijing for pilgrimage. If they didn't pay, they could never complete their political tasks! So the officials from all over the country paid the money one after another. It was all public money anyway, so they didn't feel sad.
Sometimes when there is not enough money, you have to borrow money from the wealthy people in the capital. When the loan matures, you take out the money from the official treasury to repay it, which is called "Beijing debt".
From borrowing to returning, everyone is very clear about the tricks involved, and there are countless people who have done something wrong, so everyone is used to it. If you don't give gifts for a day, you will feel uncomfortable.
The source of the gifts, Eunuch Liu, actually wants to audit the accounts! Is this still justified? Is there any royal law in the Ming Dynasty?
The civil servants were angry, and the memorial to impeach Lao Liu flew to the capital like snowflakes.
Lao Liu always ignored other people's impeachments. Although Zhu Shou was getting closer and closer to him, he still kept him around every day and asked for his opinion on any important matters. Therefore, he believed that his
The status is as stable as Mount Tai, and the harassment of those little reptiles can be thrown directly into the garbage heap.
The first person to be sacked was Wan Fu, the prefect of Jinhua. This old guy, who had passed the age of becoming an official, still held his position and provided for Lao Liu every year, hoping to keep his official position.
But now Lao Liu is angry: You gave away 7,000 taels last year, but this year is better. You only gave 5,000 taels. If you don’t get out, who will?
"Retired to official position due to illness." Mr. Wanlao received this imperial edict and cried without tears: Liu Enxiang, it's not like you don't know that maritime trade is now monopolized by Donghai Company and big guys from all over the world. I'm a bigot.
Magistrate, where can I earn you seven thousand taels? Of these five thousand taels, two thousand are still my coffin books! Even my beautiful concubine, I am not willing to give it to her!
The following officials were immediately dismissed: Suzhou magistrate Bao Nian and Tongzhi Wang Na, both of whom were charged with embezzlement; Jiangxi Zuobu Zheng Ma Long, was charged with corruption; and Ruan Bin, the governor, was charged a bit strangely.
Frivolous! Both were demoted and interrogated.
The crime of Shandong Xunjian Hu Jie was even more ridiculous. He actually bribed Liu Jin (to collect money to give Jin)! The next day, Hu Xunjian died in prison without any explanation. The same fate as Hu Xunjian was also the minister Zhang
Luan.
These two unlucky guys didn't even have a place to lament. The bribe recipient actually threw the briber into prison after receiving the money. He died and was injured. It's a strange thing in the world.
This wave of anti-corruption storm has involved dozens of officials, including Ouyang Yun, the censor, Bei Yi, the young eunuch, and Zhao Liang, the commander.
There are many eunuchs among them, but more of them are cadres of the civil service group.
So Prime Minister Li couldn't stand it anymore and went to Boss Liu and said, "What is Junyu doing?"
Old Liu said: Kill two people for fun.
Li Viper sighed: Calm down, I have received the wind, someone wants to mess with you!
Old Liu was shocked: Who?
Li Viper pointed to the west and never spoke again.
The West? Yang Yiqing! That bitch, I shouldn’t have been soft-hearted in the first place! Boss Liu felt that he must find an opportunity to kill and disgrace Yang Yiqing, and he must not give Yang Yingning any hope!
If you don't kill him, he will kill you. This is the political reality.
It's a pity that Boss Liu's determination was made a little late this time.
What can be spit out from the mouth of Li Viper is definitely not a good word. Ninety-nine percent of it is a snake letter that kills people without showing blood.
"What is Junyu?" At about the same time, Zhang Yong also asked this question.
Accompanied by Ma Ang and Qiu Yue, the banquet in the restaurant also entered its climax.
The love between Admiral Zhang and President Yang also blossomed at this moment, because President Yang said a very important sentence: "Sufferings are within, not outside; troubles are in the palace, not in the court!"
Mr. Yang has pierced the window paper! At this moment, he is no longer alone. His good friend Zhang Yong has already been excited!
Ma Ang was so frightened that he sobered up and said: Damn, you two eldest brothers, you don’t want to be so playful. You are discussing conspiracy and conspiracy in such an upright manner. I just woke up and haven’t brushed my teeth. Can you stop it for a while?
I'll go home and hold my concubine and take a nap before talking about it?
Unlike Uncle Ma Guo, Qiu Yue's eyes were bright and his hands were trembling slightly, so much that a few drops of the wine in the glass spilled out. His heartbeat speed at least doubled.
There were only four people at the scene, but in Qiu Yue's eyes, this was not four people, but a battle formation duel of 40,000 people. No, it should be 400,000 people!
Boundless soldiers, horses, swords, spears, and black bows and arrows all poured out from the mouths of these four people, because what they had to deal with was not an unknown person, but the established emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful Eunuch Liu Jin in the empire!
Yang Yiqing saw all the reactions of these people. He was very satisfied. Everything was under his control.
To kill Liu Jin, in fact, only one thing is needed, and that is Zhang Yong's determination to die! Ma Guojiu and Qiu Yue are just lubricants. In Yang Yiqing's plan, these two matchmakers are just minor players.
The one who plays the leading role must be Zhang Yong, and it can only be Zhang Yong.
"The thief is in great danger, what can be done?" Zhang Yong has wanted to kill Liu Jin for many years, but has never found a chance.
For people of their status, any evidence of guilt or conspiracy is nonsense. If their respective huge forces and countless minions come into conflict, not only will both sides suffer, but there will be no results at all.
There is only one person who can decide their life or death, that is Emperor Zhu Shou sitting on the dragon throne.
If it touches Zhu Shou's heart? This is what Zhang Yong wants to ask sincerely.
Yes, how can I move Zhu Shou's heart? If I had asked Yang Yiqing a year ago, Mr. Yang would have spread his hands and said: I can't help it!
But now, Yang Yiqing has a trump card, and this trump card is his method.
"The Holy One has Taizu, who has the ambition to become an ancestor, and his power spreads all over the world to comfort all people." Yang Yiqing began to slowly reveal his trump card.
Zhang Yong was a little confused: Brother, why are you talking about all this? Which emperor doesn't think so? What we are discussing now is to kill Liu Jin! How to be a good emperor, is that none of my business?
So, he asked the first sentence, "What is Junyu?", which means: Lao Yang, I know that you are knowledgeable and talented, and your words always make people confused. You also know that we are not scholars.
, can you be more direct? It’s so damn tiring to talk to intellectuals like you!
"In the four years since your Majesty ascended the throne, you have gradually become more and more dictatorial. If you don't see anything about Hejian Mansion," Yang Yiqing said with a slow smile, raised his hands, and bowed to the east, "The Holy Majesty favors geniuses, but the common people are in chaos.
In an instant, war and disaster can be stopped in a matter of seconds. This is the great fortune of the Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the country!"
Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment, looked at Ma Ang, and saw Uncle Ma Guo's face full of confusion. Then he looked at Qiu Yue, and found that the old boy's eyes were bright and his whole body was trembling. Finally, he turned his eyes back to Yang Yiqing and saw him.
His hands are still facing the east and have not been put down.
"The thief is suffering from old age and is about to die!" Qiu Yue suddenly interjected and hit the core.
Zhang Yong suddenly realized that he finally connected Qian Gang's arbitrary decision-making and his impending death. It was not that his political IQ was insufficient, but that the authorities were confused and the bystanders were clear!
Admiral Zhang has been living in the palace. He has never thought that the baby he held since childhood has grown into an adult without knowing it, with his own thoughts, his own power, and his own means of governance.
Not only Admiral Zhang is like this, but all the Eight Tigers are like this. In the hearts of these people, Zhu Shou is still the crying child who needs them to protect, love and get close. The emperor cannot live without them, just like a child cannot live without his parents.
, they are the people closest to the emperor.
But Yang Yiqing told him directly: Lao Zhang, you are wrong. The emperor has grown up. What he needs is not water, but the world. You people have occupied the empire's time for too long.
Especially Liu Jin, when he established the emperor, did he really think that he was the emperor?
Zhang Yong's cold sweat suddenly flowed down. Although it was summer, he was shivering all over. What Yang Yiqing pointed out to him was not a bright road, but a dead end!
He suddenly didn't want to kill Liu Jin anymore, because if Liu Jin died because of Zhu Shou, what about Admiral Zhang? There is no doubt that he would be the second person to be killed.
Because he is the second child of the Eight Tigers!
Yang Yiqing has such cruel thoughts and vicious methods.

What method did Yang Yiqing use to force Lao Zhang to submit? Please listen to the breakdown next time. He pushed it hard and continued to ask for votes without restraint:)
