The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 45 Liu Jin and Zhang Yong!
Qianqing Palace.

The young emperor was having a secret conversation with the eunuch Chen Kuan.

After all, Chen Kuan was a great figure in the inner court, and every word and deed had its own profound meaning.

Sure enough, as Tang Hao expected, he deliberately handed over the matter of "returning the abandoned village to farmland" to the Ministry of Household Affairs, just to trick the Ministry of Household Affairs.

After all, repaying the land depends on how it is repaid.

Huangzhuang occupied the field, and the field became "Miyada".

Miyata Miyata is the fields inside the palace. Naturally, the outer court has no control over it, let alone collecting taxes.

This manor and fields are a symbol of wealth, and all the rental income is privately owned by the palace. Even if you collect too much, it is still a big sum of money. How can you give it to others?
But Chen Kuan just gave in and gave it directly.

Although this was what the little emperor meant, we had discussed it with him in advance.

But the problem is, for the same reason, if the inner court handed over the land and allowed the civil servants and gentry to preside over the return of the land, would these civil servants and gentry return the land to the people honestly?
Haha, they will return the fields, but not to the people, but to swallow the fields vomited out by the imperial court into their own stomachs.

The civil servants and gentry took advantage of this incident to kill the Eight Tigers eunuchs. The young emperor had no choice but to order the village to be abandoned and returned to the fields, in order to quell the resentment between the government and the people.

His Majesty the Emperor said, then this field must be returned, but how?
The maneuverable space here is huge.

For example, if the original owners cannot be found after returning the fields, or the original owners are too ignorant to claim them, then these fields will become official fields.

Then the civil servants and gentry could use their own connections, their own power, and at a very small cost, to return these fields to the names of their direct family members!
The inner court has always had a good vision. These fields are high-yield fertile land. Who wouldn't be jealous and want them?
Therefore, these fields may be completely occupied by those civil servants and gentry in a short period of two or three years!

Otherwise, why would these civil servants and gentry insist on insisting on the "Imperial Village"?

They don't really do it for the suffering people, they just want to get a piece of it.

Speaking of which, the civil servants and gentry were envious, jealous, and hateful.

After the founding of the country by Emperor Taizu Gao, the prime ministers, honorable ministers and hundreds of officials below were all given land (called land grant), which was more than a hundred hectares, and even a thousand hectares for princes. Dukes and military ministers also gave public land. As for those on the front line, Generals who died in battle were even given public land.

Nowadays, it has become popular for kings, princesses, royal relatives, eunuchs, and monastery owners to ask for farmland from the emperor. Everyone reaches out to the emperor, and the emperor is very useful and often gives it as promised. This kind of manor and land grant are collectively called "grant". Begging for farmland.

From this, it is not difficult to see that the emperor generally would not grant land to civil servants and gentry.

Because I have been alone in my hometown for a long time, relying on my power to occupy the fields crazily, so there is no need for His Majesty the Emperor to speak.

It's just that this time, Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and others did go too far. They frantically purchased more than 300 imperial mansions at one time, which was simply crazy.

The civil servants and ministers felt pain in their hearts when they saw this. After all, those fields were all theirs in a sense. Now they had become the imperial village and the palace's fields. How could they interfere in the future?
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

"The number of all the fields has been recorded by the slaves."

"Give these civil servants and gentry some time to properly preside over the return of their fields!"

"We just need to let the East Factory and the West Factory keep an eye on it. In a year or two, whoever puts his hand into these fields will have his head picked off!"

Chen Kuan sneered gloomily.

Do you really think that the fields in the palace are so easy to get?

I can spit it out, but can you eat it?

If you really dare to eat it, then you dare to die!
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.

"Da Xun, this method of yours is really... quite destructive!"

That’s not a shame!
Spit out a piece of fat and place it in front of the civil servants and gentry.

On the surface, this is an interest that the inner court gave up in order to preserve the Eight Tigers eunuchs Liu Jin and Gu Dayong.

But in fact, this is the bait thrown out by Chen Kuan. As long as someone dares to bite the bait, it will give the inner court an opportunity to attack the civil servants and gentry!

Your Majesty has built an imperial palace, and the people are shouting here non-stop, almost accusing Your Majesty of being stupid and ignorant.

Now the fields have been secretly swallowed up and occupied by you. How is this?
When he thought of that scene, the little emperor danced with excitement.

"it is good!"

"That's it!"

"Those are all my fields!"

"If anyone dares to reach out, I will chop off his head!"

Now, the initiative is in the hands of the inner court, just waiting for someone to take the bait!
To put it bluntly, no one cares whether those fields can be returned to their original owners, the miserable common people.

After all, fields are a symbol of wealth in this era. No one will dislike their own fields. They will only feel that it is too little or far from enough!
After discussing the matter of returning the land, Zhu Houzhao immediately ordered Qiu Ju, the admiral of the East Factory, and Gu Dayong, the admiral of the West Factory, to keep an eye on the greedy civil servants and gentry, and then pick off their heads.

This time, it was a great opportunity for the inner court to attack the outer court.

Qiu Ju and Gu Dayong had just escaped death, so naturally they were full of resentment and anger towards those civil servants and gentry!

So the two eunuchs immediately rushed to monitor it in person. Even if they monitored day and night, they still had to catch a few greedy bitches and tear them into pieces!

After Qiu Ju and Gu Dayong left, the little emperor looked at Chen Kuan with a frown.

After this incident, he clearly saw the ability of the ceremonial supervisor in front of him to control the eunuch.

After all, he is an old eunuch who has been in the inner court for decades. His abilities are indeed far beyond those of the Eight Tigers eunuchs.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao chose to ask Chen Kuan for advice, which also showed that he regarded Chen Kuan as a confidant.

"Da Ju, then Liu Jin... can I use it?"

Hearing this, Chen Kuan frowned and did not answer in a hurry.

He first cautiously raised his head slightly, looked at the little emperor's expression, and confirmed that this was not a temptation or test from the little emperor, and then his heart rested in his stomach.

"This servant should not comment on who your Majesty wants to use!" "But if your Majesty really wants to use this thief, Liu Jin, you should be on guard. You must never trust this thief easily again!"

Chen Kuan expressed his attitude very straightforwardly, calling Liu Jin a "thief" every time he opened or closed his mouth!
In fact, the eunuchs and eunuchs of the Si Li Jian family were all loyal servants of Emperor Hongzhi in the past. Due to the change of dynasties, they naturally had conflicts and resentments with the Eight Tigers eunuchs.

This is the issue of the positions of the old and the new. The new is about to replace the old, so it is difficult not to have conflicts.

Liu Jin had always acted arrogantly and domineeringly before. In order to consolidate the power in his hands, he fooled the little emperor into thinking he was a fool and used some strange tricks to make the little emperor happy, so that the little emperor could not do his job properly, so that he, Liu Jin, could monopolize the power.

Such an approach itself is an act of concealing evil intentions and arrogating a divine weapon!
Therefore, all the eunuchs including the Chief of Ceremonies were very disgusted with Liu Jin and at least never interacted with him. They even joined forces with civil servants and gentry to put the impeachment memorial in front of the young emperor many times.

It is a pity that the previous little emperor followed Liu Jinyan's advice, and all the impeachment memorials were lost in the sea, and the little emperor would not even take a look at them.

If it weren't for this "Nanyuan Tiger Case", Liu Jin would have been hard-pressed to fall, and he would definitely become the next treacherous eunuch Wang Zhen who would bring disaster to the country and the people!

Now, the little emperor is thinking of reviving Liu Jin again, so naturally Chen Kuan will not just watch.

For both public and private reasons, he would now put eye drops on Liu Jin!

"Your Majesty is aware that if Liu Jin dares to take advantage of your Majesty, this has proven that this thief has evil intentions and deserves death!"

"Furthermore, Liu Jin used to use his eccentric skills to deceive Your Majesty into not doing his job. Has Your Majesty forgotten that the last time he did this, his companion was called Wang Zhen!"

As soon as these words came out, the little emperor's face changed drastically and he gritted his teeth with hatred.

Wang Zhen!

Everyone knows this name!

No one will forget this name!

Zhu Houzhao's great-grandfather, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, was instigated by Wang Zhen, so he led a personal expedition and caused the Tumu Fortress disaster, which kicked the Ming Dynasty to the edge of the cliff!

Wang Zhen deserves to die!

If Liu Jin wants to imitate Wang Zhen, then he deserves to die even more!

For a moment, the little emperor wanted to order the Jin Yiwei to chop Liu Jin alive!
The handful of salt that Chen Kuan sprinkled on the wound at this moment made the little emperor so painful that he became extremely angry.

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao did not forget Tang Hao's instructions and put the overall situation first.

"It is Tang Hao's intention to appoint Liu Jin and bite foreign ministers."

Hearing this, Chen Kuan was startled.

"Is this what Marquis Zhongshan means?"

"I see, Marquis Zhongshan has really good intentions!"

Chen Kuan is such a shrewd person, he reacted in the blink of an eye.

Tang Hao did this on purpose, deliberately putting the evil thief Liu Jin in front of the young emperor to stimulate the growth of the Ming Emperor!
After understanding this, Chen Kuan changed his tone.

"Your Majesty, Liu Jin can be used, but he cannot be reused!"

"Give him the title of a eunuch, preferably the eunuch of Qianqing Palace or the eunuch of Si Li. With the slaves and Zhang Yong suppressing him and watching him, he will not have the chance to make trouble again!"

The little emperor nodded after hearing this, but then shook his head.

"Da Ju, if you tell me that I am dissatisfied, I am... quite disappointed with Zhang Yong."

"His performance today was indeed too bad!"

Chen Kuan laughed when he heard this and said: "Your Majesty, the civil servants and gentry are divided into official officials and official officials. The same is true for eunuchs and eunuchs."

"Although Zhang Yong is not good at words, he is an out-and-out official, and his flaws do not hide his faults!"

Chen Kuan expressed his attitude without hesitation. He was very optimistic about Zhang Yong.

"After all, Zhang Yong is still very young. After a little training, he might be entrusted with important responsibilities."

"Your Majesty should see that Zhang Yong is loyal to Your Majesty, but Liu Jin is harboring evil intentions towards Your Majesty!"

This is the difference between Liu Jin and Zhang Yong.

One is a loyal and hard-working official.

One is a treacherous man who speaks well but harbors evil intentions!

What's right and what's wrong is clear at a glance.

The little emperor nodded with deep understanding, then smiled and said, "Do you want to accept an heir?"

Chen Kuan was startled when he heard this, and then nodded with a smile.

"My servant is quite optimistic about this child Zhang Yong."

"Since His Majesty has a destiny, let him be trained by his slaves!"

After solving this problem, the little emperor was in a good mood.

"By the way, where is Zhang Yong? Why can't he be seen?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me. Zhang Yong is a man who attaches great importance to love and sex. He should be... in Nanyuan at the moment!"

Zhu Houzhao was startled when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"In this way, you can find a way to operate it and leave a bloodline for that Tong Zhuang."

"Your Majesty, the Holy Ming Wu Guo!"
