The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 296
Yang Henian pretended, shaking his head and checking Haitang's pulse.

Then Yang Henian looked shocked: "Oh! It's a tire! Miss Haitang, please forgive me!"

Haitang felt as if he was struck by lightning after hearing this, and stared blankly at Yang Henian.

Yang Henian said: "Although you have miscarried, you will still have morning sickness. The girl should take good care of her. She must not develop other illnesses due to excessive grief. It is best to let the Fourth Young Master accompany you."

Haitang began to cry bitterly: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuoriuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Yang Henian asked: "Does the Fourth Young Master ignore you?"

Haitang said: "Absolutely."

Yang Henian once again gave Haitang some kind words and advice.At the same time, Ying'er, who knocked Haitang into a "slip", has disappeared.It seems that he ran away out of fear of being punished.

Yang Henian left Xixiaojing Hutong and went to the private room of a teahouse on the street.

Sitting in the elegant room, there is a constant breeze.Ying'er was already sitting there.

Yang Henian cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Chang."

Chang Feng asked: "Is the matter done?"

Yang Henian said: "It's done. Haitang is convinced that she had a tire slip."

Chang Feng placed two banknotes on the table.The banknotes are 1000 taels each.

Chang Feng said: "Doctor Yang, this 1000 taels of silver is enough for you to go to Jiangnan incognito and open a serious medical clinic."

"Ying'er, both of your parents are dead. I have chosen a good man for you. This man is a hundred households in the Yamen of Bingbei Road, Shaanxi Province. I will send someone to take you out of the city to Xi'an to get married soon. From now on, you will be an official. Madam.”

Ying'er and Yang Henian expressed their gratitude to Chang Feng.

Xie Si Gongzi's favorite woman "slips".Chang Feng didn't believe that he would ignore it.As long as he shows up, the next thing will be easy to handle.

Xiaojing Hutong has been carefully watched by Jin Yiwei's eyes and ears.As soon as Xie Gen shows up, he will be kidnapped by a group of "Liaodong Guards Army".

At that time, Jin Yiwei can follow the clues and find the tiger's crime box.

A strategy is a good one.Not only did he not actually abort Haitang to "injure his moral integrity", but he also achieved his goal of luring Xie Gen to show up.

However, the development of things was beyond Chang Feng's expectation.

For four days in a row, Xie Gen was nowhere to be seen.

On the tenth day of October, there are only six days left for Liu and Xie to "get rid of the tiger"!

Chang Feng was a little anxious.Even if the emperor is on the side of the Eight Tigers.If Liu and Xie made the tiger crime box public to the world, the emperor would not be able to withstand the public opinion of the world.The Eight Tigers can only be abandoned.By then, the power of the civil servants will cover the sky with one hand, and the government will be unable to deal with it.

In desperation, Chang Feng came to Xiyuan Leopard Room and found Emperor Zhengde.

Emperor Zhengde is practicing archery.The old yellow bow in his hand was a gift from his riding and archery instructor, the imperial aunt Liu Xiaoyan.

"Whoosh!" A famous teacher gives birth to a great disciple.Emperor Zhengde hit the bull's-eye with one arrow.

Jiang Bin and a group of leopard slaves shouted at the side: "The Emperor's perfect shot!"

Emperor Zhengde became more modest: "What's the point of trivial skills? No matter how accurate the arrow technique is, it can only kill a few people at most. What I want to learn is the art of defeating thousands of people."

Chang Feng said from the side: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

Emperor Zhengde turned his head and glanced at Chang Feng: "Oh? Uncle is here? What's the matter?"

Chang Feng lowered his voice: "It's a matter of confidentiality."

Emperor Zhengde waved his hand towards Jiang Bin and others.Everyone left immediately.

Chang Feng said: "Xie Gen hasn't shown up yet."

Emperor Zhengde picked up another bow and arrow: "Uncle, I heard Liu Jin say that since the 22nd year of Chenghua, there has been no errand that you can't do. This is an important errand that I have entrusted to you since I ascended the throne. If you can do it, If it’s smashed, I have to doubt your ability.”

Chang Feng said quickly: "I am incompetent. Just in case, I have a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain and delay the time."

Emperor Zhengde asked: "Oh? What's the plan?"

Chang Feng replied: "Ding Guogong Xu Guangzuo has secretly gone south to take Miss Xia to Beijing. But Miss Xia's car is still in Baoding."

"Miss Xia is the queen to be named. According to the rules, when the queen to be crowned comes to Beijing to complete the wedding, she must send nobles and important ministers to greet her. Generally, the chief envoy is the noble and the deputy envoy is the chief assistant. There are old rules to follow. .”

Emperor Zhengde said: "I understand. Do you want me to send Liu Jian out of the capital to meet Miss Xia in Baoding? But the carriage is empty! Will the stuffing be leaked when he leaves?"

Chang Feng replied: "Liu Jianjian is a minister, so he cannot exceed the courtesy and lift the curtain of Miss Xia's car to find out what is going on. This is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"In addition, Miss Xia will be able to enter the capital secretly in two hours. The Ministry of Rites and the Supervisor of Ceremonies are almost ready for the wedding. When Liu Jian leaves the capital, please ask the emperor to get married and take charge immediately."

After Emperor Zhengde thought for a moment, he said: "Okay, let's follow what my uncle said. I ordered my uncle Zhang Heling to be the chief envoy to hold the festival, and my first assistant Liu Jian to be the deputy envoy to hold the festival, and go south to Baoding to welcome Miss Xia's car."

"In addition, I will summon Wang Hua, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, to discuss the date of the wedding next noon."

Chang Feng reminded Emperor Zhengde again: "Your Majesty, at this time of great change in the court, you must control the military power. I propose that Jiang Bin and the Leopard slaves take charge of the troops and horses of the Beijing camp as border army generals."

"Jiang Bin and the Leopard slaves have been serving at the border for a long time. They have no contact with the civil servants in Beijing and China. They are far more reliable than the generals in the Beijing camp."

Emperor Zhengde nodded slightly: "Well, uncle is still thoughtful."

Cabinet value.

Liu Jin came to Liu Jian with an imperial edict: "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, the edict said. Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, was appointed as the chief envoy to hold the festival, and Liu Jian, the first assistant, was appointed as the deputy envoy to hold the festival. He went to Baoding to welcome the queen who was to be crowned. I hereby express it. .”

Liu Jian was stunned.

Liu Jin smiled and said: "Chief Assistant, hurry up and accept the order! Ge Kui serves as the deputy envoy to welcome the proposed queen to the capital. This is the ancestral system."

Liu Jian was not willing to leave Beijing at the critical moment to eliminate the tiger.

Even if you are not happy, you will still be unhappy, and you still have to obey the will.Emperor Zhengde pressed him with the word "ancestral system".

Liu Jian said: "I, Liu Jian, will obey the imperial edict."

Then he took over the imperial edict of yellow silk cloth from Liu Jin.

Liu Jin cupped his hands and said: "The Shouning Marquis is out of tune. The important things to come are all up to you, the Deputy Envoy of Honesty."

After saying that, Liu Jin left quietly.

Liu Jian glanced at Li Dongyang in the duty room, then at Xie Qian, and then walked out of the duty room.

Xie Qian understood and followed Liu Jian out.

The two of them stood in the Haoran Pavilion outside the duty room.

Liu Jiandao: "It's six hundred miles to go to Baoding. Even if I hurry up, it will still take five or six days. The plan to eliminate the tiger will be implemented after I return to Beijing."

"You must take good care of the Eight Tigers' accusations, testimonies, and witnesses in those six places. As long as they are successfully made public to the world, even if the emperor intends to protect the Eight Tigers, he will not know that it is impossible to do so."

Xie Qian said: "Don't worry, Chief Assistant. Gen'er has been watching over there. Nothing can go wrong. When the Chief Assistant returns to Beijing, it will be the day we kill the Eight Tigers."

"Once the Eight Tigers are dead, even if the emperor gets married and takes charge of the government, he will continue to rely on me and other civil servants." Liu Jiandao: "Don't take it lightly. There are two people you have to watch out for. One is Chang Butcher of Jin Yiwei."

After speaking, Liu Jian pointed to the cabinet attendant: "The other one is Li Dongyang. This person has an ambiguous attitude with the Eight Tigers. He is also the in-laws of Chang Butcher. I'm afraid he will defect to the eunuch party."

Xie Qian said: "If Li Dongyang renounces himself from Shilin and commits himself to the eunuch party, then we don't have to take into account the friendship of his colleagues for many years. While killing the Eight Tigers, we will also have him dismissed from office."

The court has always been cruel.

Speaking of which, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang were close friends before, and they once joined the cabinet together.

Once a power struggle is involved, what does friendship mean?The brothers are heart to heart on the surface, but they are playing tricks on each other in private.

Let's talk about Chang Feng returning to Jinyiwei from Leopard Room.When he saw Qian Ning, he immediately asked: "Over there in Xixiaojing Hutong, Xie Gen hasn't shown up yet?"

Qian Ning shook his head slightly.

Chang Feng said: "Continue to keep an eye on Xixiaojing Hutong."

Qian Ning suggested: "I think it would be better to set a fire in Xixiaojing Hutong and burn Xie Gen's concubine to death. I don't believe that he would not show up to take care of his concubine's funeral even though everyone is dead."

Chang Feng said: "No. Not to mention that one corpse and two lives would be too harmful to Yin De. If Xie Gen is a ruthless person, he won't show up if Xianghao gets pregnant, and he won't go if Xianghao is burned to death."

"Also. If we treat the family members of our political opponents like this now, aren't we afraid that our political opponents will treat our family members like this in the future?"

At this moment, Liu Jin walked in.

Qian Ning saluted Liu Jin and then left wisely.

Liu Jin looked expectantly: "Do you have any clues about the tiger crime box?"

Chang Feng said: "Xie Gen hasn't shown up yet."

Liu Jin smiled bitterly: "Oh, Dayong in Xichanggu is also stepping up the investigation. But he has no clue."

"Fortunately, my uncle gave the emperor a clever idea and asked Liu Jian to leave the capital on good terms. Maybe it can be delayed for a few days."

In the afternoon, Emperor Zhengde summoned Chang Feng, Li Dongyang, the second minister of the cabinet, Wang Hua, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, and Zhenghuang Qiren, the eunuch of Qintian, in the Leopard Room.

Emperor Zhengde asked Xu Guangzuo: "Where is Miss Xia?"

Xu Guangzuo replied: "I will be temporarily settled in the Duke's Palace."

Li Dongyang, Wang Hua, and Huang Qiren were shocked when they heard this: Miss Xia has secretly returned to Beijing?Then why did the emperor order Shouning Hou and Liu Shoufu to come out of the capital to welcome him today?It seems like the tiger is being lured away from the mountain!

Emperor Zhengde said: "Huang Qing, I think three days from now will be an auspicious day, right?"

Huang Qiren was stunned: "Three days from now, the seventh day of October? I have to go back to Qintian for inspection."

Emperor Zhengde waved his little hand: "No need to check! The seventh day of October is the time for the wedding, and the eighth day of October is the time for the young emperor to issue an imperial edict and govern personally. I have already checked it!"

Huang Qiren was a student of Li Dongyang.He immediately understood Emperor Zhengde's intention: the emperor wanted to arrange a wedding and take office before Liu Shoufu returned to Beijing.

The Emperor has already said that the seventh and eighth day of the lunar month are good days.Even if it's not a good day, it has to be a good day.

Thinking of this, Huang Qiren raised his hand and said, "What the emperor said is absolutely true. The seventh and eighth days of October are both auspicious days. Weddings and official affairs in these two days will definitely benefit the people, the country, and the Zhuming royal family."

Emperor Zhengde said: "Okay! Wang Qing, are the wedding arrangements at the Ministry of Rites ready?"

Wang Hua replied: "Everything is ready."

Emperor Zhengde said: "Then I will marry Miss Xia on the seventh day of October. I will confer Miss Xia as the queen. Chang Feng, Jin Yiwei will be responsible for the wedding garrison."

"It's not that I'm afraid of assassins. It's mainly that I'm afraid that the civil servants will object to causing trouble."

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "I obey the order."

Emperor Zhengde also confessed: "This matter must be kept secret for the time being. Late at night on the sixth day of October, Jinyiwei will send special personnel to inform all officials in Beijing door to door."

Chang Feng cupped his hands again: "I obey the order."

Wang Hua remained silent and did not express his position.

Emperor Zhengde was afraid that Wang Hua would oppose him.Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, was transferred to Jinling to worship Taizu.Wang Hua is now the head of the Ministry of Rites.Whether it's a wedding or a wedding, it needs to be handled by the etiquette department.

Emperor Zhengde began to draw a cake for Wang Hua: "Wang Qing, you were the number one scholar in the 17th year of Chenghua, and you are the most talented in the world. You have been an official for 24 years. You are honest and self-responsible, and you are really a model for civil servants. When I take charge, the first thing is The thing is to get you into the cabinet."

The subtext of Emperor Zhengde is: Wang Hua, you, an old boy, help me handle the two major events of my wedding and pro-government.You give me a peach, and I repay you with a plum.I will give you a golden position as a cabinet minister afterwards.

Wang Hua knelt down and said, "The emperor has given you too much praise. I must handle the two errands at hand well. I will live up to the emperor's high expectations."

Wang Hua expressed his attitude of siding with Emperor Zhengde.

Emperor Zhengde finally looked at his second assistant Li Dongyang: "Mr. Li, do you have any objections to my arrangement?"

Li Dongyang said: "I have no objection."

Emperor Zhengde said: "On the wedding day, Mr. Li will be my chief ceremonial officer."

Li Dongyang evaded: "Your Majesty, the emperor is getting married. According to the rules, the chief ceremonial officer should be the chief assistant of the cabinet. I am only the second assistant."

Chang Feng interjected from the side: "Mr. Li, don't shirk. Isn't the chief assistant leaving Beijing?"

Li Dongyang remembered something: "Your Majesty, you asked Uncle Zhang Guo and Marquis Shouning to go out of the capital to welcome Miss Xia's carriage. But Miss Xia was not in the carriage. You must have an explanation when the chief minister returns to the capital."

The plan that Chang Feng presented to Emperor Zhengde to lure the tiger away from the mountain was, to put it bluntly, a trick on a living person, and he was still the chief minister of the dynasty.When you fool someone, you always have to give a perfunctory reason.

Emperor Zhengde couldn't think of a reason for a while.

Chang Feng said: "Report to the Emperor. The Jin Yiwei received a secret report. The cruel and evil little Tatar prince intended to hinder the Zhu Ming royal family's grand plan to spread its branches. So he sent hundreds of assassins to sneak into the Ming Realm, preparing to assassinate the proposed queen. In order to protect Miss Xia, Your Majesty, you have no choice but to use false and real tactics. Send Duke Ding to secretly take Miss Xia back to the capital."

Emperor Zhengde nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes! My uncle is absolutely right! I fired a false shot and sent Mr. Liu to greet them in a polite manner in order to hide the Tatars' ears and eyes."

"I am doing this not only for my own marriage, but also for the sake of the country! If the proposed queen is assassinated, it will be a very bad thing for the Ming Dynasty. The little prince may take advantage of our bad luck and go south to join the invaders! "

Foreign enemies are a good thing.Any dirty water within the imperial court can be poured on foreign enemies.

When saying this, Emperor Zhengde looked at Chang Feng with admiration.

Hey, when it comes to telling lies with open eyes, my uncle is really the best!
Li Dongyang smiled secretly in his heart: Only an old fox in the court could come up with this reason.Although my in-laws are in their early forties, they are already worthy of the word "old fox".

Emperor Zhengde said: "That's all. Go down and prepare yourself."

Chang Feng left the Bao Fang and walked side by side in the palace alley with his in-law Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang said: "My in-laws are very strategic."

Chang Feng said: "It's just a heretic. If you want to benefit the people, you have to have a bright and upright approach in the court."

Li Dongyang said: "The so-called court is actually a battlefield. Wisdom is the most powerful weapon. Wisdom does not distinguish between heresy and righteousness."

"As long as the purpose is for the bright, it doesn't matter whether the means are dirty or not."
