A knife in love

Chapter 1851

Qi Jiu didn't know that Liu Shengzongyan's daughter, Liu Feiyan, had an affair with Emperor Zhengde and gave birth to a son for Emperor Zhengde. He thought Liu Shengzongyan pretended to be a relative of the emperor in order to fight for the emperor's throne and overthrow the Ming Dynasty. My heart became more and more disgusted with him.Wang Xiaoyu was even more filled with righteous indignation, if Murong Danyan hadn't winked at her, she might have opened her mouth to curse.

Seeing that Li Qiufeng remained silent, Liu Shengzongyan continued: "The old man has been dormant in the Central Plains for more than ten years, and has been waiting for a good opportunity to make a comeback. As the saying goes, God pays off those who work hard. Three years ago, he assassinated Emperor Zhengde and helped Jiajing. The emperor came to the throne, and those court bosses who wanted to kill the old man sent someone to find the old man. It turned out that after Jiajing secured the throne of the emperor, he crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and used the great etiquette dispute to depose all these old guys, and They also sent people to spy on them, trying to collect the crimes of these people, and finally ransacked their homes and exterminated their clans. Among them, a retired cabinet scholar was the first to bear the brunt. Most of his family property was fined and confiscated. He was captured and almost died in the imperial prison. In order to save his son's life, the scholar had to bow his head to Jiajing and handed over to Jiajing dozens of extremely secret imperial decrees of the Zhengde Dynasty that he secretly hid back then. These imperial decrees They were all secret edicts written by Emperor Zhengde himself, pointing at Jiajing Longqian's attempt to rebel. If these imperial edicts were spread, it would be extremely detrimental to Emperor Jiajing. This scholar handed over the imperial edicts and eliminated Emperor Jiajing's confidants It’s just a big problem. It’s just that Emperor Jiajing had a vicious mind. Although he didn’t kill his son, he exiled his son to Yongchangwei, Yunnan. Southern Yunnan is a barren land, and almost none of the criminals who were exiled to Yongchangwei survived. Emperor Jiajing exiled this person to southern Yunnan, clearly wanting his life.

"The rest of the great scholars from the previous dynasty had nothing to eat, and they were driven out of the capital by Emperor Jiajing in disgrace. Although these people are old foxes, no matter how powerful they are, they are no match for the imperial power. It is worse to be punished by Emperor Jiajing After they died, they realized that the seemingly innocuous Emperor Jiajing was a hundred times more vicious than Emperor Zhengde. A few years ago, Emperor Jiajing sent imperial envoys to the south of the Yangtze River, nominally to measure the land, but secretly to collect information that Emperor Jiajing wanted. Get rid of the crimes of those ministers who became officials. These people stretched out their heads and shrank their heads. Under desperation, they thought of taking the risk and joining forces to make a big one, drive Emperor Jiajing from the throne of the emperor, and establish a new one. Jun, keep your children and grandchildren safe.

"In addition, after Emperor Jiajing entered Beijing, he was polite to the courtiers left behind by Emperor Zhengde at the beginning. But after he sat down firmly, he first attacked Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and wanted to remove all the leaders of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. But he Lu Bing, his confidant, is a cautious person. He knows that Jinyiwei and Dongchang are powerful. For that matter, don’t replace the leaders of Jinyiwei and Dongchang in one fell swoop, but get rid of them one by one. Emperor Jiajing used Lu Bing’s strategy to constantly cut off the minions of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. But whether Jinyiwei or Dongchang, individual They are all human beings, how can they fail to see the poisonous plan of Emperor Jiajing? They were not willing to stand still and collude secretly, and made alliances with those senior scholars who were appointed to official positions, and officials inside and outside the court whose status was in danger, to overthrow Emperor Jiajing, and then Li Xinjun."

When Li Qiufeng heard what Liu Shengzongyan said, he suddenly realized.Although he knew about Liu Shengzongyan's conspiracy before, he still couldn't figure out why Yun Feiyang, Xu Yingyang, Zhao Zhen, Zhuang Hengyun and other officials from Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the Ministry of War would join forces with Liu Sheng's family and take the risk of confiscating their family and exterminating their family. .It turns out that in the past ten years, Emperor Jiajing secretly cultivated his own power and wanted to drive away all the court officials left by the Zhengde Dynasty.The old and new forces strangled each other in the cabinet, Liubu, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and other yamen. It can be said that there is me in you, and you in me.These ministers and officials fight back and forth, nothing more than to keep their official positions and powers, so as to keep their wealth and lives.Once you miss it, you will end up copying your family and exterminating your family.That's why they took great risks, and even joined forces with the Fusang people to stir up a bloody storm in the Ming Dynasty.For the sake of power, these people have no conscience at all. Today they help Emperor Jiajing deal with Emperor Zhengde, and tomorrow they will get rid of Emperor Jiajing and establish a new emperor.I'm afraid that Yun Feiyang, Zhao Zhen and others don't know which side they should help.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard Liu Sheng Zongyan continue to say: "Lord Li has personally experienced the following things, so I don't need to talk about it. Although we planned very carefully, I didn't expect Master Li to see the truth and tell the old man's plan one by one. See through. Whether it is in the imperial mausoleum, or in Yong'an City, Shajiabao, the old man was completely defeated. After the battle in Xiuwu County, the old man was disheartened and did not want to fight any more. As long as he can leave this big Tomb, the old man must sail out to sea and return to Fusang, and never set foot in the Middle Earth again for the rest of his life. If he violates this oath, the old man will be decapitated, and after death, he will enter the Avici Hell, and he will never be able to turn himself over again!"

Li Qiufeng listened to Liu Shengzongyan's oath, and thought to himself, if this old thief really wants to put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately, and never interfere with the affairs of the Central Plains, and return to Fusang obediently to steal a life, why would he be in such a hurry to snatch Xiao Dong's desire? The tin box to Fuso?The old thief didn't give up at all, he still wanted to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, add a yellow robe to his body, and ascend the throne.It's just that he miscalculated and was taken over by Yagyu Dan Mashou, and was trapped in this tomb just like us.In order to be able to escape, he told all his previous experiences, and repeatedly claimed that if he escaped danger, he would never stay in Daming, but return to Fusang immediately.It is nothing more than to let us believe that he is sincere and will not try to harm others, so he will join hands with us to deal with Yagyu Dan and Ma Shou.It's just that the old thief is cunning, once he kills Liu Shengdan Mashou and escapes from the tomb, he will immediately turn against us.This person is extremely insidious, absolutely cannot be fooled by him.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Liu Sheng told us all about the past. It can be seen that his intentions are very sincere. Li is very grateful. Since we are all going to escape from here, we need to join hands. There is only a glimmer of life. Mr. Liu Sheng is very smart, what good plan do you know?"

Seeing that Li Qiufeng agreed to join forces with him, Liu Sheng Zongyan finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that although this little thief is cunning, but after all, he has shallow knowledge and is not his opponent.As long as you can escape from this desperate place, hehe, none of you four little thieves can escape.If I hadn't concocted you little thieves so that you couldn't survive or die, I would be considered worthless!

It's just that although Liu Shengzong Yan had this thought in his heart, the expression on his face was as usual.He exchanged some polite words with Li Qiufeng, and then said in a deep voice: "Liu Shengdan Mashou is a bastard, although he is extremely cunning, but he has no power to restrain chickens, so he can only drive those traitors to deal with us. These traitors are not skilled in martial arts. High, but they guarded the entrance of the cave, condescending, took advantage of the terrain, and trapped us in the cave. But if Lord Li and the old man join forces, we have a great chance of winning!"
