The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 298 The sixth day of October
The sixth day of October.

Emperor Zhengde will hold his wedding tomorrow.

In the Jinyi Guard, Chang Feng selected five hundred Han generals to be responsible for the wedding garrison and ceremonial guard.For the sake of confidentiality, I only told these big Han generals that they would go on patrol with their retinue.

After selecting the people, Chang Feng summoned his confidants to discuss the matter.

You Jingwu and Chang Ponu have not returned to Beijing yet.Otherwise, Chang Feng would definitely hand over the wedding garrison matters to his adopted son You Jingwu, so that his adopted son could show his face more in front of Emperor Zhengde.

Chang Feng said to everyone: "Tomorrow our Jinyi Guards have important responsibilities. There needs to be one person in charge of the garrison and honor guard at the wedding. Qian Ning is the commander, so let him be in charge."

The words were kind words, but Qian Ning felt a little embarrassed after hearing them, and felt extremely dissatisfied.

When Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, Feng Changfeng's official title was "Former military governor Qian Shi was in charge of Bei Town Fu Si, hereditary Jin Yiwei commander Tongzhi".

Nominally, Chang Feng is Qian Ning's subordinate.

Three months later, Emperor Zhengde changed Chang Feng's official title to "Former military governor Qian Shi was in charge of the Jinyi Guards, and the hereditary Jinyiwei commander was Tongzhi."

In name, Chang Feng became Qian Ning's boss again.

This corresponds to what Qian Ning has been saying all day long: "As long as Master Chang lives, Jin Yiwei's surname will be Chang."

Since ancient times, the prince has wanted to be the emperor, and the second shopkeeper has wanted to be the chief shopkeeper.

Qian Ning felt aggrieved: I was the second shopkeeper of Jinyiwei before the change of dynasties.After the change of dynasties, I still held the title of commander and was still the second shopkeeper.Isn’t that a change of dynasty in vain?

Qian Ning's adoptive father Qian Neng is a sensible person.

Qian Neng analyzed for his adopted son: Based on the temperaments of Liu Jin and Chang Feng.When the day comes when the Eight Tigers are in power, the two of them will gradually develop a rift until they are incompatible with each other.

So Qian Ning secretly took refuge in Liu Jin.

Perhaps, when Liu Jin and Chang Feng are incompatible with each other, that will be the day when I, Qian Ning, truly become the true shopkeeper of Jinyiwei.

Qian Ning patted his chest: "Don't worry, Master Chang. If anything goes wrong tomorrow, I'll come and see you."

Chang Feng smiled and said, "I can rest assured that you will do the work."

Chang Feng also had a plan in mind.He hopes to pass on Tishuai's immense power to the next generation.

There is no way, after being in charge of Jinyiwei for more than ten years, the Chang family has offended everyone who should be offended and who should not be offended.If the Chang family loses the power of Jinyiwei, their enemies will definitely take revenge.

Only by firmly holding the power of defense in the hands of the Chang family can we ensure the safety of the Chang family.

Chang Feng has "hereditary commanders and colleagues" who can be passed on to the next generation.Chang Ponu has become a civil servant and wants to take a civil official career.

Chang Feng planned to let You Jingwu change his surname to "Chang" when he was [-] or [-] years old.Pass on him the worldly ministry.It would be best to support him as a commander.

Well, who hasn’t ordered Xiao Jiujiu?

Chang Feng asked: "How is the search in Nancheng going?"

Qian Ning replied: "I've been searching for a whole day and almost turned over Nancheng, but I haven't found anything yet."

Chang Feng said: "Let Zhang Cai be responsible for finding the tiger crime box first."

Zhang Cai raised his hand and said, "Yes, handsome master."

Zhang Cai, the commander of Zuo Qianshi, was single-handedly promoted by Chang Feng.However, the human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.Zhang Cai believes that since he is looking for a backer, why not find a bigger backer?

No matter how favored you Chang Feng is, you are still just the boss of Jin Yiwei.There is the East Factory above you, and there is the West Factory above the East Factory.Further up the West Factory is Liu Jin, the leader of the Eight Tigers.

Taking refuge with Eunuch Liu will only bring benefits to my career, but no harm.

Another confidant of Chang Feng, Shi Wenyi, has no ability to handle cases and can only greet people and socialize with them.But he only recognized one thing: I only have one boss and one backer, and that is Chang Feng.Everything I have now is given by Mr. Chang Shuai.I am only loyal to him in this life.

As for the thoughtful little country player Wang Miaoxin.He has already decided to retire and plans to submit his resignation letter after the current storm in the court is over.This life is with the chessboard.

Shi Wenyi said: "Then Xie Gen is a ruthless and unjust person. I have been keeping an eye on Xixiaojing Hutong. Haitang has been 'slipping' for so many days, and Xie Gen has not shown up."

Chang Feng said: "There is no way. For most people, compared with the overwhelming power, what is a woman?"

Xie House.

Sitting in front of Xie Qian were his three sons.

Xie Qian is very talented.There are six sons and two daughters.

The eldest son Xie is working as a minister in the Ministry of Etiquette.

The second son Xie Pi was the test flower of the palace in the 18th year of Hongzhi.Worked as an editor in Hanlin Academy.His teacher is Li Dongyang.

The third son, Xie Dou, worked as a judge in Dali Temple.

The fourth son, Xie Gen, was an experienced officer in the Zuojun Dudu Mansion.

The fifth son Xie Zhi was appointed as a judge in Wuding, Shandong.

The sixth son, Xie Fu, served as county magistrate in Jiaozhou, Shandong.

The Xie family is a typical official family.

The so-called official family refers to a generation of people who lived in poverty for ten years and became civil servants.After several generations of descendants, everyone was a civil servant.

The Xie family's official career can be traced back to Xie Qian's grandfather, Xie Ying.Xie Ying served as an official in the Xuande court and became the chief envoy to Fujian.

Brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle.At the critical moment of "removing the tiger", Xie Qian summoned his eldest son, second son, and third son at home to discuss matters.

Xie Qian asked his eldest son Xie Zheng: "How is the fourth child doing?"

Xie Zheng replied: "The charges, testimonies, and witnesses of the Eight Tigers are strictly scrutinized by the fourth brother, and there can be no mistakes."

Xie Qian laughed and said: "Liu Jin and Chang Feng must be searching for these things like crazy at this time. Yesterday afternoon, the Jin Yiwei and regiment soldiers actually used the banner of 'searching for Tatar spies' to make Nancheng panic. Dog jumps.”

"Let them do it. How could they have imagined that I hid things and witnesses under their noses."

Xie Zheng said with a smile: "I would like to congratulate my father and Uncle Liu in advance on cutting off the eunuchs."

Xie Qian waved his hand: "Don't take it lightly. Although we have a sure chance of victory, we still have to be cautious."

The second son Xie Pi smiled and said: "Father, Uncle Liu promised that when the eunuchs are eliminated, you will be able to take charge of the official department. At that time, the official positions of the sons will be..."

Xie Qian coughed and said, "We have to protect our family's reputation. Reputation is the foundation for a foothold in the officialdom. Naturally, you have to be promoted, but you can't be too ostentatious."

The third son Xie Dou said: "When the Eight Tigers and Chang Feng are defeated, can father give us the task of searching Chang Feng's mansion to our Dali Temple?"

"It is said that Chang Feng is an expert at confiscating homes. This time, let him have a taste of having his home confiscated."

Xie Qian glanced at Xie Dou: "Even if Chang Feng is defeated, I'm afraid he will only lose his official position. He will not be reduced to the stage of having his house confiscated."

"Don't forget. His wife is the adopted sister of Empress Dowager Zhang, and his sister is the adopted sister of the late emperor. The emperor privately calls him 'uncle'."

Xie Zhengdao: "Father, if we can get rid of the tiger successfully this time, I should give credit to my fourth brother. He came up with six places to store the evidence of the Eight Tigers. Hehe, even Liu Jin and Chang Feng couldn't guess this even if they tried hard. Six places.”

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Liu Jin was leading the Eight Tigers to try on Emperor Zhengde's crown clothes for tomorrow's wedding.

Emperor Zhengde asked: "Where is Mr. Liu?"

Liu Jin replied: "Calculating the time, we should have entered Baoding."

Emperor Zhengde said: "I will bypass my chief minister for my wedding. Oh, I'm afraid the civil servants will make a fuss about it afterwards."

Liu Jin smiled and said: "It's just like listening to the chirping of birds. This world is the emperor's world, not their civil servants' world."

Gu Dayong put the crown on the head of Emperor Zhengde.Emperor Zhengde asked again: "Has my pro-government edict been drafted?" Liu Jin said, "It's ready!"

Emperor Zhengde asked: "Who planned it?"

Liu Jin replied: "It was planned by Jiao Fang, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Don't worry, Your Majesty, Jiao Fang will keep it secret until the plan of pro-government is announced to the world. Jiao Fang is different from other civil servants. He is loyal to you, the Emperor."

Emperor Zhengde murmured to himself: "Jiao Fang? He drafted the pro-government edict for me and did his best for me. Naturally, I will not treat him badly. When I am pro-government, let him be rewarded with joining the cabinet."

Liu Jin was waiting for these words from Emperor Zhengde.He had already made his wish to bring Jiao Fang into the cabinet.

Liu Jin smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise. In addition, Zhang Cai, a doctor in the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, polished the pro-government edict."

Emperor Zhengde said: "I know Zhang Cai. He is a famous talent in the imperial court. When I come to the throne, I will promote him to be the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Why do officials of all dynasties love to fawn over their eunuchs?That's why.Often if a favored eunuch says a few words in front of the emperor, officials will save ten to twenty years of hard work.It can even break through the promotion ceiling.

Emperor Zhengde changed the subject: "Can you eight protect yourselves?"

Liu Jin was stunned for a moment and remained silent.

Emperor Zhengde said: "If you don't have the ability to protect yourselves, you are not worthy of my important use."

Liu Jin naturally knew that Emperor Zhengde was referring to the tiger crime box.When he thought of this, he felt dizzy.

If the Tiger Sin Box cannot be destroyed, all of Liu Jin's plans and layouts for the future will be in vain.

Dingguo government office.

Liu Xiaoyan, Chang Tian, ​​and Mrs. Jiu were gathered in front of the dressing mirror, trying on Xia Dongyue's head and face jewelry for tomorrow's wedding.

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Dongyue, when the wedding is over tomorrow, when I see you again, I will kneel down and salute you. We are no longer godmother and goddaughter, but maid and master."

Xia Dongyue said seriously: "Godmother, no matter when the time comes, I will never forget the Chang family's kindness to me. Without the Chang family, how would I be the queen?"

Liu Xiaoyan said quickly: "Don't say that. Your ability to become the mother of the country tomorrow is all due to the blessings accumulated by the Xia family. The Chang family just helped a little in compliance with destiny."

The little girl Xia Dongyue is very emotional.She suddenly picked up a hairpin and poked it on her finger.

Liu Xiaoyan and others were shocked by her sudden move.

Xia Dongyue squeezed her fingers, and a drop of blood fell on the ground: "Godmother, I am willing to swear on my blood. If I cannot repay the Chang family's great kindness in the future, I will be punished by God and be thrown into the cold palace."

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Amitabha, there are no taboos. Don't say such unlucky words before the wedding. Although you are not my biological child, you are better than my biological child. I hope you will always be favored by the emperor, be in charge of the Sixth Palace forever, and be the mother of the world."

Xia Dongyue threw herself into Liu Xiaoyan's arms and called out, "Godmother", and then her tears fell down.

Liu Xiaoyan hugged Xia Dongyue with tears streaming down her face: "Good girl. Meeting you in this life is the blessing I have gained from my tenth life."

Only God knows whether Liu Xiaoyan's tears are real or fake.

It is located in Zhuozhou, 130 miles away from the capital.

A large sedan chair with eight carriages was speeding down the official road.The bearers were almost jogging along.Made in the Ming Dynasty, the eight-carriage sedan chair is not allowed to be used by non-official civil servants of the second rank or above, or military attachés of the first rank or above.

Sitting in the eight-carriage sedan chair was Liu Jian, the first assistant!

Liu Jian left Beijing and traveled south. The further he walked, the more he felt something was wrong.

At the critical moment of getting rid of the tiger, the emperor sent me to Baoding to pick up the queen?What a coincidence!

There are no coincidences in this world, only the illusion of coincidence!There must be something fishy in it!
The more Liu Jian thought about it, the more frightened he became.Afraid of a fire in the backyard!
So, two days ago, he simply told Zhang Heling, the envoy of Chijie Zhengzheng, that he had a sudden lung disease and was afraid that he would die soon and needed to return to Beijing for treatment.

Zhang Heling, a fool, is very straightforward.If you want to get out, just get out.

After Liu Jian left the welcoming team, he hurried back.

Liu Jian raised the curtain of the eight-carriage sedan and asked the bearer: "Have you left Zhuozhou?"

The bearer replied: "We haven't left Zhuozhou yet."

Liu Jian ordered: "Forget it, press the sedan. Change the horse for me!"

Several of the accompanying confidants brought a horse to Liu Jian.Liu Jian mounted his horse, whipped his whip, and ran towards the capital.

He has been a civil servant all his life. He usually travels in Beijing by sedan and has never ridden a horse.The saddle hurt his buttocks.

But in order to successfully get rid of the Eight Tigers, he dominated the court.Even if the butt is shattered and split into two pieces, so what?
Before I knew it, it was late at night.

Chang Feng sat in the hall, not sleepy at all.

Emperor Zhengde had previously issued an oral edict.At midnight tonight, the eunuchs will go to the residences of all the royal families, officials, and nobles in Beijing to inform them of tomorrow's wedding.

The capital city tonight is destined to be unrest.

Finally it was midnight.Liu Jin walked in quickly: "Little uncle."

Chang Feng asked: "Have all the eunuchs who informed you about the wedding been sent out?"

Liu Jin replied: "The dispatch has been sent out. Where is the tiger crime box?"

Chang Feng shook his head slightly.

Liu Jin looked bitter: "There is also bad news. The person in charge of the nine gates is Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong just told me that Liu Jian returned to Beijing overnight through Zhengyang Gate!"

Chang Feng's expression changed: "Liu Jian returned to Beijing? How is that possible? Did he turn back halfway? Why didn't the defenders at Zhengyangmen stop him?"

After a while, Chang Feng said to himself: "That's right. The nine-door defenders can stop others, but they can't stop the chief minister of the dynasty."

Liu Jin said: "Just watch. Liu Jian will definitely break into the palace in the middle of the night!"

Chang Feng thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter. We have already thought of a reason for the emperor to deal with Liu Jian. The wedding is about to happen and he can't stop it."

"The most important thing now is to find the tiger crime box."

It was as Liu Jin expected.At four o'clock in the afternoon, in the Palace of Qianqing.

Qianqing Palace is brightly lit at the moment.All the eunuchs and maids are busy with the wedding tomorrow morning.

Liu Jian came to the front courtyard of Qianqing Palace angrily.

Gu Dayong came up to him: "Liu Shoufu, why are you back?"

Liu Jian scolded: "Why can't I come back? The emperor actually tricked his auxiliary cabinet into going to Baoding! Is the proposed queen in Baoding?! Has she returned to Beijing long ago?!"

"For such a big thing as a wedding, he actually bypassed the chief minister of the cabinet! Where is the emperor? I want to see you!"

After saying that, Liu Jian was about to rush into the main hall.

Gu Dayong stopped him: "Liu Shoufu, how can you break into Qianqing Palace without any purpose?"

Liu Jian said angrily: "I am the auxiliary minister appointed by the late emperor. Do I need to ask for an order to enter the Qianqing Palace?"

Gu Dayong opened his arms and stopped in front of Liu Jianjin: "The Emperor's wedding today is related to the fate of the country! If you want to ruin the wedding, you are ruining the country's destiny of the Ming Dynasty! It will ruin the country of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Want to enter the palace? Unless you step on my Gu Dayong's body!"

Liu Jian scolded: "Eunuch! Stop pretending to be righteous here! When you take bribes, form parties for personal gain, and annex the people's land, why don't you think about the country and the country?"

Gu Dayong retorted: "When the chief minister took bribes, formed a party for personal gain, and annexed the people's land, didn't he think about the country and the country?"

Liu Jian was so angry that Gu Da used him that his face turned pale: "You"

At this moment, Emperor Zhengde appeared at the door of the hall: "Mr. Liu, come into the hall."
