The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 314 I, Liu Jin, and you, Zhang Yong, are half-brothers.
The powerful Eunuch Liu, the leader of the Eight Tigers, was beaten as hard as a pig's head.

And in front of the emperor!Is this a big deal?
Liu Jin, who fell to the ground moaning in pain, was determined to cut Zhang Yong into pieces!
Emperor Zhengde shouted: "Here comes someone!"

Gu Dayong, Wei Bin and others walked in one after another.

Emperor Zhengde said: "Liu Jin slipped just now and fell. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Why don't you help him back and ask the imperial doctor for treatment?"

"Really Liu Jin?"

How could Liu Jin have the nerve to say in front of all his subordinates that he was beaten into a pig head by Zhang Yong?

Emperor Zhengde gave him a step, so he had to climb down the slope.

Liu Jin said: "That's right. I accidentally threw an old lady into the bed, and then threw a big horse and fell down in front of the emperor, which was disgraceful."

Gu Dayong and others quickly came over to help Liu Jin.

Emperor Zhengde said again: "Zhang Yong, I give you the title of 'Brave Eunuch'. From now on, in addition to the admiral of the troops in the Beijing camp, you will also be in charge of the entire garrison army in Northern Zhili."

Emperor Zhengde gave the perpetrator Zhang Yong a title and increased his military power.This is telling Liu Jin: I will never abandon Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yongchunfeng said proudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!"

Liu Jin was so angry that his back teeth were almost broken.

After Liu Jin was helped away.Emperor Zhengde angrily scolded Chang Feng: "Chang Feng, what did you call fighting just now? Is there anyone who can fight like this?"

Chang Feng didn't mince words: "Back to the emperor, what I just did was a side attack!"

He has the attitude of a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.After all, Liu Jin has deprived me of my right to defend myself.He left me more than 100 Tujia robes.What else can Liu Jin do to me?
Could it be that he beat me to death like Dai Mi with the death stick?

Emperor Zhengde said: "Whether Liu Jin or Zhang Yong is my right-hand man! I don't want to see left and right fighting each other again!"

"Chang Feng, I give you a decree. I order you to hold a banquet in the mansion for Liu Jin and Zhang Yong. Reconcile their conflicts and turn their conflicts into friendship!"

Chang Feng had a troubled expression on his face: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Zhang Yong echoed: "Your Majesty, I don't want to associate with traitors!"

"Dang!" Emperor Zhengde threw the copper bag in his hand to the ground.

Poor Tongqing was killed by a fall.

Emperor Zhengde said angrily: "I want to use Liu Jin, and I want to use you Zhang Yong! Even if you don't get along, you can make peace!"

"I will make another clear edict. If you can't turn the conflict into friendship, then go to Xiaoling Sixiang together!"

"I will let Xiao Jing resume his official position and take charge of the Chief Ceremony Supervisor again. Let Qian be able to take charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor!"

Speaking of which, Chang Feng and Zhang Yong had no choice but to accept the order.

Changfeng came out of the Xiyuan Leopard Room and had a big head.Hosting a banquet to reconcile conflicts?Liu Jin has been beaten to such a level of virtue, how could he come to the banquet?
He suddenly remembered that Liu Jin was going to accept Chang Tian as his adopted daughter and hold a wedding reception.

Why not just set up another table and bar at the marriage recognition banquet!
Chang Feng did not return home, but went to Li Dongyang's residence.Everyone in the family is at Li Mansion.

He found Chang Tian: "Tangtang, I agree with Liu Jin to accept you as his adopted daughter, and I also agree with him holding a wedding banquet. But tell him, I have a condition."

Chang Tian asked: "What are the conditions?"

Chang Feng replied: "The recognition banquet must be held at Chang's Mansion. I don't care who he invites to be witnesses. He doesn't care who I invite."

Chang Tian nodded: "Sure. I'll go tell him."

Chang Feng smiled and said: "When you talk to him about this tonight, you'd better bring a bottle of tiger bone beating wine. Liu Jin just received a nasty beating."

That night, Liu Jin went out to his house.

Liu Jin lay on the couch and kept moaning: "Ouch! Ouch! It hurts me to death!"

Jiao Fang, Zhang Cai, Gu Dayong, Qian Ning, Zhang Cai and other confidants stood in front of the couch, looking at Eunuch Liu's funny appearance of being as swollen as a pig's head, they all suppressed their laughter.

Liu Jin said: "I will kill Zhang Yong! Neither Liu Jian nor Xie Qian is my opponent. Xu Jin, Liu Daxia, and Han Wen have all been squeezed out by me. I don't believe it. I can't defeat Zhang Yong!"

Zhang Cai, the left minister of the Ministry of official affairs, is a wise eunuch.

Zhang Caidao: "My father-in-law cannot defeat Zhang Yong. After Zhang Yong beats you, the emperor will give him a title and give him the military power of the guard station. The emperor is expressing an attitude."

Liu Jin asked: "What's your attitude?"

Zhang Caidao: "I will continue to reuse Zhang Yong's attitude."

Liu Jin thought for a moment and knew that Zhang Cai was right.But he still said angrily: "Do you want me to pretend that nothing happened? That my beating was in vain?"

Zhang Caidao: "Only by enduring what ordinary people cannot endure can we assist the emperor in governing the world."

Liu Jin remained silent.

At this moment, Chang Tian came directly to Liu Jin's bed without anyone's notice.

Eunuch Liu's outer residence is second only to the imperial palace in terms of security.

There were three hundred Han generals guarding the house outside, and two hundred factory workers patrolling the house.

Ordinary people who want to enter Liu Jin's outer house have to go through six gates.Every time he passed through a door, he had to pay a heavy bribe of thousands of taels.

There are probably only three people in the world who can enter and leave Liu Jin's outer house at will. One is Emperor Zhengde, one is Liu Jingxiang, and the other is Chang Tian.

Chang Tian walked up to Liu Jin with a bottle of Dida wine in his hand.

Gu Dayong and others quickly handed over their hands: "Princess Princess."

Chang Tian sat beside Liu Jin's bed, looking at the 56-year-old man in front of her who had watched her grow up, feeling a little distressed: "How could someone be beaten like this? Eunuch Zhang's actions were too dark."

Liu Jin didn't want to lose the majesty of her father in front of Xiaotangtang, whom she regarded as her own daughter: "It wasn't because of being beaten, it was because of being thrown."

Chang Tian smiled bitterly: "Yes, yes. Who in the world dares to fight the powerful Eunuch Liu, he must have fallen."

After saying that, Chang Tian handed the distilled wine to Gu Dayong: "This is the distilled wine made from tiger bones mixed with badger oil. Give it to him three times a day."

Liu Jin said: "Little Tangtang still has a conscience. Your elder brother has a bad conscience! If he hadn't acted sideways, I wouldn't have been beaten like this. Oh no, I was beaten like this!"

Chang Tian answered: "My eldest brother has said it. He agrees to you accepting me as your adopted daughter. He also agrees to hold a marriage banquet. But there are conditions."

Liu Jin asked: "What are the conditions?"

Chang Tian replied: "The marriage recognition banquet must be held at the Chang Mansion. You said you would ask hundreds of officials to be witnesses, but he doesn't care. He also wants to invite some of his friends to witness, so you don't care either."

Liu Jin said: "Sure. As long as it can fulfill our relationship as father and daughter, we can do whatever we want!"

Chang Tian then advised Liu Jin: "Don't always think about punishing people or killing people in the future. You have to learn from Grandpa Huai En."

Liu Jin said: "What do children know? The court is like a battlefield. Either you die or I die."

Chang Tian sighed: "My son is ten years old, and you still treat me as a child."

Liu Jin stared at Chang Tian with kind eyes: "Even if you become a grandmother, in my eyes you are still the same greedy little Tangtang you used to be."

Zhang Cai interjected: "Eunuch Liu, there are some things that the princess doesn't say, and it's hard for me to mention them. She is right, you must learn from Eunuch Huai'en and show others how to be virtuous."

Not all eunuchs are sycophants and vicious people.Zhang Cai is an exception.

There are many upright and capable ministers in Beijing and local areas who were protected by Zhang Caibao.

For example, Wu Pingxiang, the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province, was a well-known upright official in the Jiangnan area, with a clean and airy style.

When Lao Wu went to Beijing, he couldn't afford to pay filial piety to Liu Jin, and he didn't bother to curry favor with Liu Jin.

Zhang Cai persuaded Lao Wu for a whole night: If you want to benefit the people of Li, you must first keep your official position.If you want to keep your official position, you must express an attitude of obedience to Eunuch Liu.

If you can bend and stretch, you can be your husband!
As for the money, you don’t have me to pay for you!

Zhang Cai used his own money to give Liu Jin 3 taels of silver in the name of Wu Pingxiang.He also said good things to Liu Jin in front of him.Liu Jin was so happy that he directly promoted Wu Pingxiang to the governor of Zhejiang.The people of Zhejiang are blessed with an upright and honest official
Zhang Cai, the backbone of the Eunuch Party, has done countless good things like this.He is not Zhang Cai, who has the same pronunciation but different words. He only knows how to help Liu Jinluo frame up crimes and frame him.

Liu Jin said: "I can be kind to others, but I can't be kind to Zhang Yongxian! This guy... Ouch!"

Liu Jin was angry and the wounds on his face hurt.

Chang Tian said: "Okay, you should rest quickly! Huang Yuan sent someone to Tongzhou to bring a famous doctor who is good at treating bruises to Beijing to treat you. He will arrive early tomorrow morning."

Liu Jin said: "My daughter and son-in-law have a conscience! Jiao Fang, the official inspection is about to begin. Remember to rate Huang Yuan as outstanding!"

Chang Tian said quickly: "There is also my nephew Po Nu, who must also be Zhuo Yi. If you are angry with my brother, don't take it out on my nephew."

Liu Jin said: "That's natural. Changfeng is Changfeng, and Ponu is Ponu. I can still tell the difference. When Ponu opened his teeth at the age of one, I gave him the first bite of meat!"

Liu Jin and the Chang family have such a complicated relationship.There is both hatred and kindness.It's still messy if you keep cutting it.

Let's say that Liu Jin's money-making has reached a crazy level.Don't miss any opportunity to make money.

He claimed that he fell down while serving Emperor Zhengde in the Leopard Room and suffered a bruise and swollen face.Instruct officials at all levels to come and send condolences and money.

Within five days, I got 40 taels of silver!
Five days later, the Chang Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Today is the day when Liu Gonggong, who holds great power in the government and the public, agrees to get married.All officials from the DPRK and the Central Government came to Changfu to witness and congratulate.

The swelling on Liu Jin's face has gone away, but the bruises have not yet subsided.

Liu Jin asked Chang Feng: "Didn't you also invite someone to be a witness? Who did you invite?"

Chang Feng replied: "I just invited one person. Others haven't arrived yet."

The auspicious time has come, and Chang Tian serves tea to Liu Jin.

She knelt down in front of Liu Jin and brought the tea cup: "Dad, drink tea."

Liu Jin was in tears.The greedy little girl back then has now grown into an adult, a wife and a mother.

More than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye!
Now that I, Liu Jin, have gained the upper hand, I can finally reconcile my father-daughter relationship with my little Tangtang. God is wise!

Liu Jin took the tea cup and took a sip: "Good girl! Okay! Get up quickly!"

Recently, officials have privately nicknamed Liu Jin "Emperor Li".Alluding to the early imperial court, there were two emperors in the courtyard in front of Fengtian Gate.

One is Emperor Zhengde who is sitting, and the other is Liu Jin who is standing.

When the emperor recognizes his kinship, all the officials will give him face.Needless to say, Jiao Fang, the second assistant, came to Chang Mansion early in the morning.The chief assistant Li Dongyang is also on the list.

Jiao Fang took the lead and shouted: "Congratulations, Eunuch Liu, congratulations, Eunuch Liu. You are blessed with a daughter of gold!"

All the flatterers shouted in agreement.

Liu Jin stood up and said loudly: "Some people laugh at me for being childless! Let me tell you, now I have a daughter and a son-in-law!"

"Huang Yuan is the governor of Shuntian and is in charge of the best area under the emperor's feet. All government offices must take good care of him!"

"Whoever goes against my son-in-law is against me!"

"Also, Chang Ponu, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, has the same sympathy as my ancestors and grandchildren! Whoever makes things difficult for him is also going against me!"

Chang Feng cursed in his heart: You are taking advantage of me.You and Po Nu have become grandsons and grandsons, why don’t I become your godson?
Chang Feng's current position in the court is a bit strange.

On the one hand, he is Liu Jin's political enemy.Deprived of power by Liu Jin, he seemed to have become a drowned dog.

But on the other hand, he is the in-law of the first assistant Li Dongyang, his biological sister is the adopted daughter of the established emperor, and his wife is the adopted sister of the Queen Mother.

Not to mention the widespread rumors that Chang Feng obtained the position of Mother of the Country for Queen Xia.

Even if he lost all his power, the people he had offended in the past 20 years would not dare to touch him at all.

The recognition ceremony is over.The banquet begins.The servants of the Chang Mansion began to shuttle in front of the wine table, serving food and pouring wine.

Chang Feng lowered his voice and said to Liu Jin: "I have a banquet in the side hall and invited an important guest. Let's go to the side hall with Tangtang and Huang Yuan."

Liu Jin was confused: "Important guest? Who to invite?"

Chang Feng said: "We'll find out when we get there."

The four of them came to the side hall and saw Zhang Yong already sitting there.

Liu Jin turned around and was about to leave: "I won't drink at the same table with this bastard!"

Emperor Li was forcefully pulled to the table by his adopted daughter Chang Tian, ​​and pressed down on the chair: "Godfather, don't be so angry. Anger can hurt your health. How old are you? You have to control your anger."

Huang Yuan was also admonishing: "Godfather, just sit down and sit down. If you have anything to say, just tell Eunuch Zhang clearly in person."

Liu Jin reluctantly said to Zhang Yong: "Today is a happy day for me to recognize my relatives. Since you are here, let's have a drink."

Chang Feng said, "Just a glass of wine won't do it! The emperor has decreed - Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, you two should either turn your hostility into friendship, or go to Xiaoling together to be a minister of incense!"

"I, Chang Feng, have ordered me to set this table and drink wine today!"

Liu Jin pointed to his big bruised head: "He, how to reconcile?"

"Bang!" Zhang Yong slapped a dagger on the table.

Zhang Yongdao: "That day, I was impulsive and had a fight with Eunuch Liu, and I hurt Eunuch Liu. Today I am willing to repay you with a knife!"

"You can stab me with a knife! You can stab me anywhere. I will never resent you! If I return the knife to you, our debt will be settled."

Liu Jin said angrily: "You call that a contest? I was beaten by you unilaterally!"

"Hey!" Zhang Yong pulled out the dagger and placed his hands in front of Liu Jin: "Please Eunuch Liu use the knife."

Although Liu Jin killed many people.But he was always a powerless eunuch and had never killed anyone with his own hands.

Liu Jin did not take the dagger: "What is this? A grudge between heroes in the forest?"

Chang Feng was on the side to smooth things over: "You two, let me tell you tomorrow. The emperor needs Eunuch Liu to be in charge of the court and Eunuch Zhang to be in charge of the military camp."

"The Emperor will never abandon any of you!"

"Everyone will look down and see you from now on. Are you always at war with each other? What's the point of letting the people below see you?"

"You are selling me face today, and peace is the most important thing. From now on, you can be the emperor's right-hand man!"

Liu Jin and Zhang Yong remained silent, lost in thought.

The two knew that Chang Feng was right.We are all powerful officials, and with the emperor's backing, no one can bring down anyone.

It's not good for anyone to keep being openly at odds.

It would be more appropriate to be a pair of superficial brothers who seem to agree but have different hearts.

Zhang Yong took the initiative to pick up the wine glass: "Since Eunuch Liu is unwilling to stab me, I will offer Eunuch Liu a glass of wine! After drinking this glass of wine, our previous grudges will be wiped out!"

Liu Jin hesitated for a moment and then picked up the wine glass: "What grudge do I have against you? We are half-brothers!"

Zhang Yong smiled and said: "That's right! We are half-brothers!"

Liu Jin smiled and said: "Second brother."

Zhang Yong smiled and said: "Brother."

The two raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp, then laughed heartily: "Hahaha!"

As the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle said: Life is like a play, it all depends on acting.We are like a family, plastic brothers.
