The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 348 Big Tiger Night

After Liu Jin was sad, she thought of her eldest brother's dream before his death that his ancestral home was struck by lightning.

This made Liu Jin inexplicably nervous. Could this be some kind of reminder from God?

Liu Jin ordered his subordinates to collect the remains of his eldest brother, and told Chang Tian to take care of some matters in the house. Then he left the house directly and rushed into the palace.

Over in the Leopard Room, Emperor Zhengde was hosting a banquet for Qiu Yue, Yang Yiqing, Zhang Yong, and Chang Feng.

After drinking for three rounds, Chang Feng winked at Qiu Yue and others. He was about to launch a fatal blow to Liu Jin.

Liu Jin suddenly came back!

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said: "Liu Jin, you are back. Just now Qiu Qing told me in detail about his night attack on Prince Anhua's palace. It was really exciting."

Liu Jin smiled apologetically: "General Qiu is worthy of being the Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of our time."

It was nearly five o'clock in the morning. Logically speaking, Emperor Zhengde's invitation to dinner at the Leopard Room should have ended at three o'clock in the morning. After all, His Majesty the Emperor has to be busy at night with the important matter of the expansion of the Zhu Ming royal family.

But Qiu Yue kept telling Emperor Zhengde about the war. The people who talked about it were all excited, and the people who heard it were very excited.

This made Liu Jin anxious. He will also attend to the funeral of his eldest brother tomorrow!

At the time of Haishi, Liu Jin saw that Emperor Zhengde was completely drunk, and Yang Yiqing, Chang Feng, and Zhang Yong were also drunk. He let his guard down.

Liu Jin said: "Your Majesty, I will retire first."

Emperor Zhengde didn't hear clearly what Liu Jin said and just waved his hand.

Liu Jin left the Leopard Room.

Chang Feng saw Liu Jin leaving, and Gu Dayong followed Liu Jin. He suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty!"

This shout startled Emperor Zhengde who was taking a nap on the wine table!

Emperor Zhengde raised his head: "What, what's wrong?"

Chang Feng said seriously: "Eunuch Zhang wants to offer you sour plum soup."

Emperor Zhengde complained: "Uncle, why are you so startled? I was shocked. I thought King Anhua had escaped from prison."

Chang Feng asked Zhang Yong to offer sour plum soup in order to make Emperor Zhengde sober up.

Sour plum soup has been the first tool for relieving hangovers since ancient times.

Emperor Zhengde had a drink and his drunkenness dissipated a bit.

Emperor Zhengde raised his glass: "Qiu Qing, let's continue drinking. As the saying goes, a thousand cups are too little for a close friend. Meeting you today is like knowing a close friend."

Chang Feng shouted again: "Report to the Emperor!"

Emperor Zhengde was startled again: "Uncle, what's wrong with you tonight? You're so frightened."

Chang Feng said: "I have something important to report! King Anhua has internal support in the court!"

During the day on the dragon chariot, Qiu Yue told Emperor Zhengde that there was an internal correspondent from King Anhua in the court, far away in the horizon and right before his eyes. The hint was already obvious. The so-called internal correspondent was Liu Jin.

At that time, Emperor Zhengde was half convinced and 90% disbelieving.

Emperor Zhengde asked calmly: "Oh? Who is the secret agent?"

Chang Feng said: "This is the seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Liu Jin!"

"Poof", Emperor Zhengde laughed out loud!

Emperor Zhengde said: "Even if everyone in the world rebels, it is impossible for Liu Jin to rebel!"

"Chang Feng, I heard from my mother that you raised a dog more than 20 years ago, named Huzi. The tiger bit people when he saw it, but he didn't bite you and Princess Wanping. Why? You brothers and sisters are raising it!"

The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough. Emperor Zhengde had a clear conscience, and his "substitute" Liu Jin helped him do all the evil things he wanted to do but could not do as an emperor. Everyone in the world has been offended.

If Liu Jin thought of treason and killed the master who raised him. Then he will lose the most important talisman - Emperor Zhengde! At that time, everyone in the world will tear Liu Jin into pieces.

Chang Feng said: "I have conclusive evidence."

Emperor Zhengde asked: "Oh? What evidence?"

Chang Feng clapped his hands. You Jingwu and Basha carried up the box of "Treasures of the Prince of Anhua" dedicated to Emperor Zhengde.

Chang Feng opened the box and first took out a stack of confessions: "Your Majesty, I have already conducted a preliminary interrogation of King Anhua in the northwest. King Anhua admitted that Liu Jin informed him in advance of the court's counterinsurgency strategy and troop deployment. This is It’s a confession.”

After speaking, Chang Feng picked up a pile of letters: "Your Majesty, this pile is the correspondence between Liu Jin and his followers and King Anhua. In the letter, they agreed to 'eradicate the small sect of King Yan and restore the large sect of Emperor Jianwen'."

"Moreover, Liu Jin's letter also confirmed the confession of King Anhua. The strategy of the Shaanxi army entering Ningxia that was formulated and presented to the emperor by Laoshuai Yang was all written into the letter by Liu Jin."

After speaking, Chang Feng picked up a gold medal: "Your Majesty, please look, this is the Jiangnan King's gold medal that King Anhua is going to award to Liu Jin."

"According to King Anhua's confession, they agreed in advance that King Anhua would raise troops in the northwest, and Liu Jin would respond in the capital. After the event was completed, the world would be divided equally."

"King Anhua sits in the north of the Yangtze River, while Liu Jin occupies the south of the Yangtze River. In name, Liu Jin, the king of Jiangnan, will bow to King Anhua."

Emperor Zhengde looked at Chang Feng suspiciously: "Oh? Is it true?"

Chang Feng said: "Your Majesty, there is complete evidence of Liu Jin's participation in King Anhua's rebellion!"

Yang Yiqing, Qiu Yue, and Zhang Yong knelt down. The three of them said in unison: "Your Majesty, everything Chang Qianhu said is true!"

Qiu Yue said: "Your Majesty, I am also willing to testify! More than half a year ago, Liu Jin sent his best friends Zhou Dongdu and An Weixue to the northwest to contact the border generals and persuade them to follow King Anhua in rebellion."

Emperor Zhengde asked: "Then why didn't you report this matter to the court as soon as possible?"

Qiu Yue replied: "Back to the emperor. Everyone in the world knows that Liu Jin's power is overwhelming. Those who obey him will prosper, and those who go against him will perish."

"I didn't dare to report it even if I had conclusive evidence at that time. I was afraid that the memorial to impeach Liu Jin would be intercepted by him if it was sent to the General Affairs Department of the capital. The emperor would not be able to see it at all. I would be in an unexpected situation myself."

The reasons mentioned by Qiu Yue are reasonable and well-founded, and cannot be made up by the old rough edge at all. Naturally, this is what Chang Feng taught.

Now Emperor Zhengde admires Qiu Yue very much. Qiu Yue's "testimony" holds great weight in the Leopard Room.

Yang Yiqing said: "I am also willing to testify. As soon as I arrived in the northwest, a large number of border generals told me that Liu Jin's best friends Zhou Dongdu and An Weixue had previously roped them in to rebel with King Anhua!"

Emperor Zhengde said: "Bring the gold medal and the letter up and let me take a look."

After reading the thick stack of letters and gold medals, Emperor Zhengde was greatly surprised. The handwriting of these letters is exactly the same as that of Liu Jin, Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, Liu Ji and others.

Emperor Zhengde frowned: "My chief minister of rites, minister of cabinet, minister of war, and minister of household are all involved in the rebellion?"

At this time, Emperor Zhengde was already convinced.

Yang Yiqing said: "If Qiu Yue hadn't won the surprise attack and captured King Anhua alive, the consequences would have been disastrous! The internal minister, the second assistant, the Xia official, and the local official were all his internal agents. It was like King Anhua had gained an extra three hundred thousand out of thin air. , oh no, half a million troops!”

Chang Feng continued to add fuel to the fire: "Your Majesty, I said a few words of death. Please, Your Majesty, please do not pursue any further investigation."

Emperor Zhengde said: "Speak."

Chang Feng added: "Xu Guangzuo is the direct descendant of Xu Zengshou, Duke of Dingguo. He once told me the unknown inside story of the Jingnan Campaign."

"He said that during the battle of Ruo Jingnan, without Li Jinglong leading the troops at the front and Xu Zengshou in Yingtian City, Taizong would never have been able to enter Yingtian City."

Emperor Zhengde frowned: "Are you trying to say that Liu Jin is Xu Zengshou who secretly communicated with the Yan army during the Jing Dynasty?"

"Pah, pah, pah!" Chang Feng slapped three of his dicks back and forth: "Your Majesty, I shouldn't use metaphors like this. I'm wrong."

Emperor Zhengde took a breath of cold air. According to reports from Chang Feng and others, this time is indeed very suspenseful. If his brother Qiu Yue, a fierce general, hadn't come up with a surprise attack, he would have perished in the fire like Emperor Jianwen.

At this time, Emperor Zhengde had already believed five points. Zhang Yong kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty, Liu Jin wants to take over your world!"

Emperor Zhengde's face regained its previous drunkenness, and he smiled slightly: "The world is up to him. Let's continue drinking for fun."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Yiqing, Zhang Yong, Qiu Yue and Chang Feng looked at each other.

Is this over?

Your Majesty, don't you care?

All the previous efforts to frame Liu Jin were in vain?

Absolutely not!

At the critical moment, Chang Feng showed the skills of a veteran who had served two generations of emperors and understood the emperor's heart clearly.

Chang Feng actually violated etiquette and raised his head to look directly at Emperor Zhengde: "Your Majesty, you said that Liu Jin can take over the world. May I ask where you will go after Liu Jin takes over the world?"

Emperor Zhengde was stunned.

Chang Feng actually stood up: "Your Majesty, do you want to imitate Emperor Jianwen and set a fire in the palace, pretend to burn yourself to death? Then hide your name and find a peaceful place unknown to people to become a monk?"

"How can you fulfill your great ambition of Beiding Grassland by personally conquering it?"

Emperor Zhengde stared at the disrespectful Chang Feng without saying a word.

Chang Feng then added: "There is one more thing that the emperor doesn't know. I have been secretly investigating for the past two years. The silver earned by Liu Jin from corruption and bribery is no less than eight million taels!"

"Enough for the Emperor to launch a Northern Expedition of 300,000 people!"

"Liu Jin is willing to give all eight million taels of silver to King Anhua for military pay for the sake of King Jiangnan's false title!"

Emperor Zhengde was completely shocked! To him, Liu Jin is just a piggy bank and a New Year pig.

Now the piggy bank is full and the New Year pig is fattened. Liu Jin actually wanted to hand over his huge wealth to King Anhua?

Then what flowers should I get? You know, Liu Jin’s money is all my money! My money!

"Boom"! I don't know which hand owed it to me, but tonight I placed the copper basket passed down from two generations of emperors on Emperor Zhengde's wine table.

Isn't this just to facilitate Emperor Zhengde's defeat and Dragon Roar's second consecutive victory?

Emperor Zhengde threw all the copper and let out a dragon roar: "You are deceiving the sky!"

"Liu Jin, damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"Catch! Chang Feng, catch!"

Chang Feng said quickly: "Your Majesty, who do you want to arrest?"

Emperor Zhengde said: "Arrest Liu Jin! Arrest Jiao Fang! Arrest Liu Yu! Arrest Liu Ji! Arrest Zhang Cai! Arrest all the Emperor Li and his followers!"

Chang Feng began to act like a thief and asked Emperor Zhengde for an official position: "Your Majesty, I only belong to a thousand households in the Dongchang District. To arrest these high-ranking people, my official position and power are obviously not high enough."

Emperor Zhengde glared at Chang Feng: "Uncle, are you asking me for an official position? Okay! I'll give it to you!"

"I appoint you as the Acting Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army, concurrently as the Commander of the Imperial Guards, and as the Commander-in-Chief of the 12th Regiment and Battalion, Commander-in-Chief of Military Affairs!"

"I will leave the Jinyi Guards and the 12th Regiment Camp to you! The capital will be under martial law immediately! To prevent Liu Jin's gang members from causing trouble!"

"In addition, rush to Liu Jin's mansion immediately to arrest Liu Jin! You have to search Liu Jin's property tonight! Give the exact amount to the inner transportation warehouse!"

"Yang Yiqing, I will make you the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Crown Prince Shaobao. I will leave the interrogation of Liu Jin to you!"

"Zhang Yong, I will appoint you as the Clerk of Ceremony and also in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor. You will be responsible for interrogating Liu Jin's accomplices!"

Chang Feng suddenly had an idea, Your Majesty, don't you love money? Then I'll do what I like.

Chang Feng said: "Your Majesty, I thought that not only Liu Jin's family property should be searched, but also the family wealth of Liu Jin's party members. People like Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, and Liu Ji are quite greedy in the officialdom."

"The total amount of money they embezzle should be no less than that of Liu Jin! That's all your money, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Zhengde said: "Yes! All those people's money will be transferred to the internal transportation warehouse for me! No less than one tael! Aren't they greedy? I will make them paupers!"

Chang Feng said again: "Your Majesty, the decrees you just made need to be clear, so that I can do things easily."

The person responsible for drafting the decree was Yang Tinghe, who was not in the Leopard Room.

Zhang Yong handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, I heard that the chief assistant Li Dongyang and the cabinet member Yang Tinghe are diligent in government affairs and dedicate themselves to government affairs. At this time, government affairs are handled in the Xiyuan duty room. Why not let them come to the Bao room to draft an edict?"

Emperor Zhengde suddenly laughed out loud: "Ah, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe are waiting for you tonight to persuade me to kill tigers and capture eunuchs, right?"

"Okay, I'll fulfill your wish. Zhang Yong, go to Xiyuan to check in, and ask Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe to come and draft the decree!"

Until this time, Emperor Zhengde only believed Liu Jin was treasonous.

But as an emperor, it is not only those who commit rebellion that must be eradicated. We must also eradicate all those who have the ability to rebel.

Liu Jin now obviously has the ability to rebel.

After all, it is a first-year pig and will be killed sooner or later. Then let’s tie up the pigs tonight!

Zhang Yong jumped up from the ground like a big agile toad and almost ran all the way, rushing out of the Leopard Room and rushing to the Xiyuan Check-in Room.

In the duty room in Xiyuan, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe were burning incense and sitting without saying a word.

They knew that the outcome of the decisive battle with the established emperor would be decided tonight.

Zhang Yong ran in: "Li Shoufu, Mr. Yang Ge, hurry, hurry!"

Li Dongyang asked: "What happened?"

Zhang Yong gasped: "Liu Jin, Liu Jin, Liu Jin him, him, him"

Li Dongyang grabbed Zhang Yong's sleeve in desperation: "How is Liu Jin?"

Zhang Yong shouted: "Liu Jin is finished! Go to the Leopard Room quickly, before the emperor changes his mind, hurry up!"

Li Dongyang, a sixty-four-year-old man, lifted up the hem of his official robe and rushed towards the leopard room. It almost showed the energy of Bolt's 100-meter race.

Even "Strong Man Zhang" and Yang Tinghe in his prime were left far behind him.

Half an hour later, the royal guards came to the government office.

Chang Feng led You Jingwu and Basha into Jinyiwei. He hasn't set foot here for a long time.

Chang Feng yelled: "Everyone on night watch, get up!"

Huang Hongye, the governor of Nanzhen who was on duty at night, was a confidant of Zhang Cai, a fellow commander.

Huang Zhen Fu rubbed his sleepy eyes and came to Chang Feng: "I said Chang Qianhu, if you don't stay in Dongchang, what's going on when you come to our Jinyi Guards and yell at you in the middle of the night?"

"Pah, pah, pah", You Jingwu opened his bow from left to right, and slapped Huang Zhenfu in four big mouths.

Chang Feng sneered: "Are you worthy of saying 'our Jinyi Guards'? From today on, the Jinyi Guards return to me! Send people to Qian Ning, Zhang Cai, and Shi Wenyi's mansions quickly, and call them all to the guards. I have an imperial edict It needs to be read out!”

Two quarters later, Qian Ning, Zhang Cai, and Shi Wenyi arrived at Jinyiwei.

Chang Feng picked up the imperial edict: "Important. Qian Ning, Zhang Cai, and Shi Wenyi are temporarily relieved of their positions. Chang Feng is appointed as the commander of Jinyiwei, You Jingwu is the acting commander of Zuo Tongzhi and the governor of Beizhen; Basha is the acting commander of right Tongzhi and concurrently. The envoy of Nanzhen. I appreciate this!"
