Taipingchun

Chapter 42

Liu Jin now has a huge name in Beijing, and some people even call him the emperor of Lidi, which makes people who don't understand the cause and effect here suspicious. You say that the power and eunuchs of this country are not in power once or twice, not to mention civil engineering Wang Zhen, the dead eunuch in Baobao, not to mention Wang Zhi who operated the West Factory in the Chenghua period, even Yang Peng, Chen Kuan, Wei Tai and others who emerged from the Mancanger case in the Hongzhi period, were not small in terms of power.

Why did Liu Jin have the title of Emperor Li when he came to Liu Jin?It's not difficult to say, the so-called powerful eunuchs in the past relied entirely on the emperor's favor, holding the right to arrest the two factories in their hands, and the civil official field was basically a situation where everyone shouted and beat them.

It was different when it came to Liu Jin, the emperor who established himself. This person divided and wooed successively, which made scum like Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai appear among the civil servants.Further polluting the six ministries, the Dali Temple of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other important departments of the state, enabled Liu Jin to hold the power of the chief inspector, and influence the cabinet's votes. It can also be worthy of the name.

From the very beginning, Liu Jin was just an illiterate illiterate, and after Emperor Zhengde succeeded to the throne, he was just a low-ranking servant who held the bell and drums. But in more than a year, he defeated all political enemies in the court and completely controlled the imperial court. over the government.

It has to be said that the responsibility for such a situation still lies with Emperor Zhengde.

However, if we really want to find the source of all this, maybe the problem can be traced to Emperor Hongzhi, who is naturally a rare emperor after the two emperors Ren and Xuan, and his feelings are also single-minded. Two children, the second son died at the age of three.That should be more loving to Zhu Houzhao, a single seedling, so as not to have any differences in teaching the crown prince.

However, Emperor Hongzhi's temperament became more and more lazy as he got to the late stage. He didn't pay much attention to Zhu Houzhao's study. It is very late in the ancient royal family, and I have not really read any books.

"It's only Zhengdan, and the winter festival is quite far away." It was rare to meet each other in leisure time. Until Emperor Zhengde succeeded to the throne, his literacy was still limited. In the end, such a semi-literate emperor was led into the Mile Palace by several illiterate eunuchs. Emperor Hongzhi He bears a great responsibility for shaping such a successor.

There is also a folk rumor that Zhu Houzhao may not have been born to the Queen of the Palace, Zhang. This theory is certainly a folk rumor, but if you investigate carefully, you may be able to distinguish a little possibility from it.Concubine Wan Gui's power in the previous Chenghua period was very annoying. As soon as Empress Zhang took the position of the harem master, she was very cautious, dignified and decent, and she was worthy of being a good empress in everything.

What is strange about this virtuous queen is not only that Zhu Houzhao ignored his education when he was still the crown prince, but also did not persuade the emperor when he became the queen mother.The Ming Dynasty established the country with filial piety, and Zhengde did not return to the Forbidden City for many years after he moved to Leopard House, and frequently traveled far away, wandering around, which seemed to be contrary to the principles of filial piety and filial piety in the country.

History is really fascinating. Some things have been handed down just as a result for people to refer to. The answer is black and white. But if you look into it carefully, some things or results that you can’t usually see will be very natural. People say that Zhengde is fatuous, and others say that Liu Jin is in control, so they often pour dirty water on Zhengde. According to Xu Xiu's opinion, Emperor Hongzhi is to blame.

The first emperor passed away, Zhengde succeeded to the throne, and the three Gu Ming ministers were all great scholars with first-class writing and ink. If you really have the heart to study, you must be able to make progress.

The fact is no.

After Zhengde succeeded to the throne, he really didn't pay attention to the three Gu Ming ministers, and adopted an attitude of not listening to or reporting their remonstrance.Or just throw it aside and wait for him to get moldy, which eventually forced Liu Jian and Xie Qian to retire.

This battle that took place in the first year of Zhengde, or it could be said to be a coup in the palace, finally the eunuch forces headed by Liu Jin, with the connivance and support of Zhu Houzhao, won an all-round victory, and their power expanded rapidly.

Liu Jin was in charge of the Rites Supervisor, while Qiu Ju, Gu Dayong, and Zhang Yong controlled the Dongxi Factory and the 53th Regiment Battalion respectively.Through Jiao Fang's control of the cabinet, the infiltration of the cabinet of civil servants was completed.In March of the following year, Liu Jin ordered the officials to kneel on the south side of the Jinshui Bridge to listen to the decree. In one fell swoop, he turned [-] people including Liu Jian and Xie Qian into traitors, which shocked China and foreign countries.

As soon as the emperor was said, it spread.

This situation can be attributed to the high concentration and supremacy of the imperial power, and there is no factor that can restrict it. It is precisely because of this that the emperor will be trusted if he meets his needs.Liu Jin and the others do what they like to Zhu Houzhao, and win the trust of the little emperor with hawks, dogs, songs and dances, and fighting games, so that they can act according to their own will without fear.

On the other hand, it also reflects that the cabinet does not have the basis for coordinating the six ministries and restricting the imperial power. In fact, the cabinet at this time does not have the ability to restrict the imperial power.

When the role of the cabinet is consistent with that of the emperor, it is a supplement to the imperial power, but when there is a conflict, no matter how lofty your status is, whether Liu Jian is Sangong or Sangu, or a Zuozhu country, What kind of life-saving minister, if you should get out, you still have to get out.

The status of the cabinet these days is far from being as terrifying as that of Jialong Wansan Dynasty, and it is far from being able to restrict the imperial power. But if history really develops like this, how can the cabinet be pushed onto the stage of history?What is going on in it?

Thinking back carefully, based on Xu Xiu's historical knowledge, Liu Jin's final downfall has nothing to do with civil servants. Liu Jin's pride and being killed seem to be entirely Zhu Houzhao's personal behavior. It's really intriguing, and Zhang Yong's role may be very important.

Listening to him talking about Zhang Yong, maybe Zhang Yong is still one of the Eight Tigers at this time, or the guy who guides Zhu Houzhao to have fun.

Xu Xiu asked: "Isn't Zhang Yong the [-]th Regiment Battalion? What does it have to do with Dongchang?"

Tu Zhang said: "Eunuch Qiu and Eunuch Zhang are on the same path."

If this is the case, there is nothing to say. If this can be done through the line of Tu Zhang to attack Guo Jun, it is not unacceptable. Although Xu Xiu has a pedantic temperament of the ancients, after all, he was born under the red flag and grew up in the new era. Good boy of the era.

He cupped his hands and said, "It's time to work."

But Tu Zhang's eyes were all on Xu Hui, as if he really hoped that he could say a few words.

Xu Xiu's suspicious eyes wandered between the two, as if something was tricky?Is there any relationship between this Jinyiwei Qianhu and my elder brother?

Xu Hui said: "It's time to slaughter thousands of households."

Hearing this, Tu Zhang smiled and said, "It's a little effort, there is no need for politeness between you and me."

"Ha ha."

……

The Lazy Tiger who was following Li Song used his skills to sneak into a courtyard not far from the Ministry of Punishment.

In this side courtyard, he saw the six-door policeman who had chased him back then, and also saw the gilded black-bottomed six-door plaque hidden in the inner courtyard.This place is very particular, the clothes of the people who come and go are very complicated, and the backgrounds seem to be very different.

Seeing Tongtian, the Lazy Tiger hiding in the gap felt chills behind, trying not to lose his breath, just listening to their conversation, his heart beat a little faster.

Looking for a gap, Lazy Tiger turned over and left, walking away in a while, thinking that no one was aware of it.Unexpectedly, Tongtian blocked the sunlight with his hand, slightly looked at the place where a black shadow flashed just now, and smiled for no reason.

Back at the county yamen, I happened to meet Xu Xiu who was sending Xu Hui and Tu Zhang away. Just as he was about to start a conversation, Lazy Dragon shook his head and stopped him. From the time he entered the yamen, he found that his footsteps were a little unsteady, and his complexion was also a little ugly. Something happened, but it's best not to say it at this point.

Tu Zhang took a strange look at these two people. With his experience in the Jianghu, he can naturally distinguish the difference between ordinary people and people in the Jianghu. No matter how well you hide, there are always some clues that can explain the problem.

With a strange expression on his face, he asked doubtfully, "Are these two detectives the sons of the Lian family?"

For things that he doesn't understand, Xu Xiu always doesn't want to talk about it first, if he says something wrong, it's not good. Hearing him say that is just looking at the lazy dragon and letting them answer it by themselves.

Lazy Dragon said with a smile: "I have practiced for several years, but it's just a countryman's crop style."

Although I am still curious about their unusual aura, Tu Zhang will not ask any more questions. There are always some arrests in the county government with some skills, but maybe there are more in the Ministry of Punishment?After nodding, he walked out of the county office first, always giving the brothers some time to be alone.

Xu Xiu raised her head, looked into his eyes and said with a smile: "I've never looked at my brother so seriously before. From this point of view, my brother is really handsome." Wearing a black gauze hat and a blue official uniform, because His skeleton is slightly bigger than Xu Xiu's, making him look more human.

He touched the Tinggong acupoint near his ear and said: "Unexpectedly, there is a small birthmark here, brother, it's so beautiful."

Lazy dragon couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue when he heard what they were saying, wouldn't I look better in my restored self than him?What kind of eyes do you have, my lord?

What Xu Xiu said was disgusting, Xu Hui's expression didn't change when he heard it, but he raised his finger and poked him on the forehead.

Said: "So many foolish words?"

Xu Xiu's nose was sore, and she gave him a hug. This elder brother always gave people a sense of security, whether it was his previous madman who took good care of him, or the embarrassment of his own bookstore, or the comfort he wrote after Mr. Hetan passed away. , can always help myself at just the right time.

At this time, he himself has so many things to do, and he can still distract himself. If there is a brother like this, what can I ask for.

Lazy Tiger looked at Lazy Dragon for a while, secretly amused, and said via voice transmission: "He has deep brotherly love, what do you care about?"

What came back to him was nothing but a sharp eye knife...
