The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 307 Toot?

Let's say that at three o'clock in the morning, Liu Jin's eldest brother Liu Jingxiang came to Jinyiwei.

Liu Jingxiang, who was in his sixties, was born as a farmer.He was dark all over, his waist was stooped, and his front teeth had long since fallen out.Even though he changed into Feiyu clothes, he still looked like a timid spoon.

You Jingwu led Liu Jingxiang to the commanding officer Qian Ning to receive the Baihu waist card, and then took him to the check-in room.

You Jingwu said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Liu, this is your [-]th House Value Room. From now on, if you are in a good mood, you can come here to drink tea. If you are not free, you don't have to come. No one dares to order yours. Mao. The salary is shining brightly."

Liu Jingxiang asked: "Eldest nephew, how big an official are these hundred households like me?"

You Jingwu replied: "Jin Yiwei Bai Hu is in the sixth rank. I am in charge of more than 100 trial households, general banners, small banners, school captains and warriors."

Liu Jingxiang's brows furrowed into a frown: "You idiot said that I should be a high official. How can I take care of more than 100 people? The head of our village is still in charge of more than 200 people!"

Liu Jingxiang's nickname is Dasha, and Liu Jin's nickname is Ersi.Foolish names make a living, so Liu's father gave the two brothers silly nicknames.

You Jingwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The chief of your castle is in charge of more than 200 ordinary people. But you are in charge of a hundred royal cavalry."

Liu Jingxiang asked: "Then tell me, what other officials do I have?"

You Jingwu told the truth: "You have deputy Qianhu, Qianhu, Beizhen Fushi, commanding Qianshi, commanding Tongzhi, commanding envoy, and general supervising Qianshi. It should be calculated from the factory guard, and above you there are Dongchang, There are three governors of the West Factory and the Inner Factory. It should be calculated from the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, and above that there are the Commander-in-Chief and the Commander-in-Chief."

Liu Jingxiang slapped the table: "Then the bastards here are not high-ranking officials! There are a bunch of people up there! Damn it, you fool, you think I've never been out of a fort or seen the world, so you're fooling me!"

By chance, Chang Feng returned to Jinyiwei and came to see Liu Jingxiang.

When he saw Liu Jingxiang, he took the initiative and said, "Brother Liu."

Liu Jingxiang asked: "Which one are you?"

You Jingwu said from the side: "This is the Commander-in-Chief of our Jinyi Guards, Chang Fengchang. He and Eunuch Liu are close relatives."

Liu Jingxiang said: "Ah, you are the good brother Chang Feng that Er Sha said! He said that I can find someone to deal with if I have something to do."

Chang Feng smiled and said: "Brother Liu, whatever you want to do, just ask me."

Liu Jingxiang said: "Second fool said, let me be a high official. I heard from nephew Youda that the highest official is Dudu. You let me be Dudu."

Chang Feng couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Liu is talking about the governor? That requires the emperor's approval, and the minister of the Ministry of War will open a committee. The most I can do is promote you to a thousand Jinyiwei. Above a thousand Jinyiwei, everything needs the emperor's nod!"

Liu Jingxiang acted like a child: "I don't care about that. The second idiot said that he wanted me to be a high official. He told me that he has the final say in the current court!"

Chang Feng smiled bitterly: "Then you go to Eunuch Liu to discuss this matter. My authority is limited, so I really can't promote you to be the governor."

Liu Jingxiang pouted and said, "Okay. Then I'll go find Liu Jin!"

Liu Jingxiang came out of Jin Yiwei and returned directly to Liu Jin's foreign residence.

Liu Jin was changing clothes and preparing to go to the Xiyuan Leopard Room to serve Emperor Zhengde.

Liu Jingxiang came to him angrily: "You fool, you are fooling me because I have never seen the world!"

Liu Jin asked: "What's wrong, brother?"

Liu Jingxiang said: "You said you made me a high official. Why do you want me to be a small official in charge of more than 100 people? There are a lot of people above me!"

Liu Jingxiang is Liu Jin’s only remaining blood relative in the world.He naturally regarded the old timid spoon's words as an imperial edict.

Liu Jin asked: "Brother, what kind of official do you want to be?"

Liu Jingxiang said: "I heard that Dudu is the greatest among the generals. I want to be Dudu!"

Liu Jin was shocked when he heard this: "My eldest brother. The emperor's father-in-law is the governor's colleague. You want to be the governor? You can't be older than the emperor's father-in-law, right?"

Liu Jingxiang said: "Don't you say that you have the final say in the court now? Then let me and the emperor's father-in-law grow up on the same side?"

Liu Jin originally wanted to scold Brother Qie Shao.

Suddenly, Liu Jin thought of something.

Now that the Ministry of Civil Affairs is in his hands, if he wants to be worthy of his power, he must make the Ministry of War obey him.

The Minister of War is Liu Daxia.

It is difficult to say that it is difficult to say that it is easy to say that it is easy to let an ordinary person serve as the governor.

All it takes is two people agreeing.One is the emperor and the other is the Minister of War.

Why not use this incident to let Liu Daxia express his attitude: obey my attitude?

Poor Liu Daxia, one of the top three gentlemen of Hongzhi, is about to be sent to the northwest for confinement because of Liu Jin's fleeting thought.
Before promotion can go through the Ministry of War, it must first obtain the consent of Emperor Zhengde.

Liu Jin had already figured out a way to get Emperor Zhengde to agree.

He changed out of the official robe of the palm print eunuch and put on a coarse cloth outfit.At the same time, Liu Jingxiang was ordered to change into the tattered cotton robe he wore when working in the fields.

Xiyuan, Leopard Room.

Emperor Zhengde spent every morning studying military affairs with Jiang Bin and the border army generals.The rest of the afternoon was spent waiting for the Eight Tigers to present something interesting.

It is a combination of learning and entertainment.

Emperor Zhengde had his two sides.On the one hand, he is a monarch with great ambitions for the Beiding grassland.On the other hand, he is a 16-year-old playful boy.

Emperor Zhengde was having lunch and handed the "Nine-Border War Plans Over the Years" compiled by the Ministry of War to Gu Dayong for safekeeping.

Emperor Zhengde asked: "What is there to do in the afternoon?"

Gu Dayong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Liu said that he has made arrangements for this afternoon."

Emperor Zhengde finished his lunch and was taken to an open space in the south of Xiyuan by Gu Dayong.

I saw that the soil in this open space had been loosened.Liu Jin and an old man were wearing cloth robes with their feet covered in mud.

Emperor Zhengde asked: "What are you doing?"

Liu Jin replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, farming is the foundation of the country and the people. It just so happens that the eldest brother of the old slave is a famous crop master from all over the country."

"Today afternoon, my eldest brother will teach you how to grow radishes and onions."

Farming, fishing and hunting are survival instincts engraved in human genes.

For example, there are some Internet writers in later generations who made a little money.Some are good for fishing, some are good for planting vegetables and corns, and raising a few pheasants that can lay eggs.

If hunting were legal, they would hunt.

Needless to say, Emperor Zhengde spent his days riding and hunting, and went to Yongding River to fish for tortoises.Farming but never touching it.

I heard that today’s afternoon pastime is farming.Emperor Zhengde's eyes narrowed into crescent moons with a smile: "Okay, okay!"

"Your eldest brother taught me farming, so I have to call him 'sir'!"

Liu Jingxiang didn't understand the rules, so he said carelessly: "Your Majesty, then I will be your husband."

The old man Liu Jingxiang had no rules and regulations, but Emperor Zhengde felt that he had a straightforward temperament.

He has lived in a deep palace since he was a child, surrounded by a group of drama queens. He likes to deal with straightforward people.

The two got off the ground.Liu Jingxiang taught Emperor Zhengde how to plant seeds, sprinkle plant ash, and combine the soil with each move.

From time to time, Liu Jingxiang would reprimand him: "Oh, my lord, the soil cover is so shallow. A gust of wind won't blow away the seeds? How about collecting a bunch of radish?"

"I say, Your Majesty, don't spread so much plant ashes. Isn't this going to fatten the carrots to death?"

"Your Majesty, you are as stupid as the donkey at the entrance of our village."

If these words were to be uttered by others, it would be a treasonable crime of beheading.

Emperor Zhengde, a bitch, not only did not get angry when Liu Jingxiang scolded him, but instead smiled and said: "Sir, what you taught me is, I will change, I will change."

Liu Jin did not stop his elder brother from talking nonsense.Liu Jin had watched Emperor Zhengde grow up and knew his temper very well.If the eldest brother talks like this, he will gain the emperor's favor.

Farming can make people who have never farmed become addicted, really!
Emperor Zhengde was busy working in this small vegetable field that he temporarily opened from noon to dusk.

Finally, Liu Jingxiang said: "Your Majesty, the seeds have been planted. From tomorrow on, you have to water the vegetable fields frequently. When the twelfth lunar month comes, you will have sweet radishes to eat."

Emperor Zhengde wiped the muddy water on his face and bowed respectfully to Liu Jingxiang, an old country man: "Thank you sir for teaching the students how to farm. Please accept my bow!"

Liu Jingxiang stroked his white beard with his dirty hands and said with a smile: "Hey, follow me and learn for another year and a half, and the emperor will become an old farmer."

Liu Jin seized the opportunity and murmured to himself: "My brother has no official position, so it is always inconvenient to enter and exit the palace." When Emperor Zhengde heard this, he immediately said: "Isn't this simple? I will give Mr. Liu an official position!"

Liu Jin quickly said: "Your Majesty, you must not do this. My brother cannot read half of the Chinese characters. How can he be granted an official position? An official position is also a famous weapon of the court."

Emperor Zhengde said: "It's easy to handle. Don't give him a civil service, just give him a military position. Jiang Bin told me that there are a lot of old and rough generals in the border army who can't even write their own names."

Liu Jin winked at Liu Jingxiang.

Liu Jingxiang followed the words Liu Jin taught him in advance and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Dudu Tongzi is a very big official. I want to be Dudu Tongzi."

Emperor Zhengde was puzzled: "Dudu tube?"

After a moment, he came to his senses: "Ah, you're talking about the Governor and Tongzhi, right?"

The title of Commander-in-Chief has become a reward title since the Tumubao Incident, and he will only have real power unless he also holds other practical duties.

For example, Chang Feng was the former military governor Qianshi in charge of the Jinyi Guards.The former military governor Qianshi did not have real power, but the real power was "in charge of the royal guards".

Emperor Zhengde thought to himself: There is nothing wrong with granting this funny old man the title of Governor-General.

Liu Jian and Xie Qian have both gone away. Can't I just make him a governor?

If I want to be the true commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's army, I must control the power of appointment and dismissal in the army.Then let this old man set a precedent!

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhengde said: "Well, I will reward you with the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army!"

Liu Jingxiang knelt down in front of Emperor Zhengde and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for making me a high official!"

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said: "Captain Liu, please get up quickly."

I have to say that Liu Jin knew Emperor Zhengde very well.Almost toying with Emperor Zhengde's applause.With some tricks, Emperor Zhengde made his eldest brother a first-grade military attaché.

At this moment, Liu Jinzhi was very proud.But he still had business to do, and he had to go to the Chang Mansion in the evening to talk to Wang Hua, oh no, to form a political alliance.

So he winked at Gu Dayong.Gu Dayong understood: "Your Majesty, it's time for dinner."

Emperor Zhengde said: "Mr. Liu, please stay and have dinner with us."

Liu Jingxiang rubbed his hands: "I let the emperor get a high official position for nothing, and I eat and drink the emperor's good food for nothing. How can I be so embarrassed?"

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said: "Sir, please don't be polite to me. Let's go to the dining room. How about staying in the Leopard Room for the night? I will reward you with some beauties, but I don't know if you can do it at your age, sir?"

When Liu Jingxiang heard that there was a beautiful woman, his eyes lit up green: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I'm so tough!"

The monarch and his minister actually walked side by side towards the dining hall.

Liu Jin, who was following behind, said: "Your Majesty, you and my brother are going to have dinner. I will leave first. I have to go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies to handle the official documents."

Emperor Zhengde waved his hand: "Sure, you can go."

Liu Jin came out of the palace happily and went straight to Chang Mansion for the banquet.

In the Chang Mansion dining room, Wang Hua and his son have arrived and are talking to Chang Feng.

Chang Feng said: "Eunuch Liu asked me to host this banquet. To put it bluntly, he wants to form an alliance with you, Wang Butang."

Wang Hua said straightforwardly: "I will not form an alliance with the eunuchs."

Chang Feng said: "Actually, you can learn from my in-laws, Li Dongyang, and being hypocritical is a good choice."

"Only by holding power can we benefit the people."

Wang Hua said: "Mr. Li and the eunuchs are arrogant. They may be able to gain temporary power, but they will be reviled for the rest of their lives."

"People have different ideas. Their methods of doing things are also different."

"Mr. Li and I are not the same person. We can't say who is right or wrong, we just have different ideas."

Wang Hua deserves to be the number one scholar, and his words come true.A few years later, Liu Jin was overthrown, and Li Dongyang was attacked by scholars and scolded as a turtle bastard who relied on the eunuchs.

Until his death, Li Dongyang still felt that he was wronged.

Chang Feng said: "Even if you are not attached to Eunuch Liu, at least don't openly oppose him."

At this moment, Liu Jin's laughter sounded outside the dining room door: "Haha, Mr. Zhuangyuan, I've been waiting for a long time."

Wang Hua and his son stood up and raised their hands towards Liu Jin: "Eunuch Liu."

Liu Jin smiled and said: "Sit down, sit down. We are our own family, why do we need to be so polite?"

Everyone sat down.Liu Jin got straight to the point: "Liu Jian and Xie Qian have become official, and the successor of the first assistant will be Li Dongyang. Is the number one scholar interested in the position of second assistant?"

Wang Hua made no secret of it: "Intentional."

Liu Jin said with a smile: "Okay! As long as Duke Zhuangyuan is of the same mind as Liu Jin from now on. I will tell the emperor that I will recommend you to be the second minister of the cabinet."

"In addition, your son is a material for a border minister. I plan to transfer him to Datong first and serve as a military commander. In the future, I will also hand over the entire northwest to your son!"

Wang Hua said seriously: "Xia Guan is interested in the position of Second Assistant. But if it is recommended by Eunuch Liu, I would rather not be the Second Assistant."

Chang Feng's face almost turned green when he heard this.He quickly reconciled: "Ah, let's drink first and chat while eating."

After speaking, Chang Feng picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Liu Jin.

Liu Jin frowned and pushed away the wine bottle: "Wait a minute, don't drink in a hurry. Let's make it clear first! Wang Hua, if it was my recommendation, you'd rather not be the second assistant?"

"What do you mean? Do you look down on me, Liu Jin? Or are you not ashamed to be with me, Liu Jin?"

Chang Feng felt a thump in his heart.It's over, it's time to break up.

Wang Hua said: "It's not that I'm not ashamed to associate with Eunuch Liu. It's that I'm not ashamed to be recommended by an eunuch to serve as the second assistant."

"If it were the recommendation of Eunuch Xiao Jing, Eunuch Qian Neng, or even Eunuch Huai'en of the Hongzhi Dynasty, I would have declined the recommendation."

"Taizu has established a system. Internal emissaries and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. It goes against the ancestral system for eunuchs to recommend foreign ministers as secondary assistants!"

Liu Jin's expression changed: "To put it bluntly, you still look down on me, Liu Jin!"

Wang Hua remained silent.

Chang Feng quickly explained: "Wang Butang didn't mean that."

Liu Jin said: "I am a person who loves talents. Unlike Wang Zhen of the orthodox dynasty, who only uses wine bags and rice bags that can flatter horses. I really want to select a group of loyal and virtuous people for the emperor!"

"Let's do this. Bachelor Wang, I'll pour you a glass of wine."

"If you drink this glass of wine, the position of Second Assistant to the Cabinet will be yours. My son can also go to the northwest to express his ambitions."

"If you don't drink, there is no need for us to eat today's meal. I will leave immediately."

"Mingren don't tell secret words. If I walk out of the dining room of the Chang Mansion on an empty stomach, don't tell me that I can't be the second assistant. Even the current Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites can't be!"

"Your son's future will be ruined too!"

After speaking, Liu Jin poured Wang Hua a glass of wine.

Liu Jin hasn’t left yet.Wang Hua got up first: "I have red pimples all over my body after drinking wine, and I can't breathe."

"I'm sorry that I'm too drunk. Farewell!"

Wang Shouren also stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Eunuch Liu, goodbye."

After saying that, the father and son left gracefully.

As long as Wang Hua drinks a glass of wine and nods.High positions and power will come your way.

However, throughout history, there is always a group of people who disdain to gain power by clinging to the powerful.

You can say that Wang Hua was right to reject Liu Jin.

But you can't arbitrarily say that Qi Jiguang, the god of war who had the most military exploits in the Jialong Wansan Dynasty, sent beautiful women and sea dog whips to Zhang Juzheng, and also claimed to be Zhang Juzheng's "stooge" in the letter.

As Wang Hua said, the concepts are just different.

Liu Jin is not a tolerant and generous person.He has always been retributive.

Wang Hua, Wang Shouren and his son are about to face a catastrophe.
