Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Perhaps, Emperor Zhengde's personal expedition will be advanced, and it is also a good thing to be able to relieve the border troubles in the north of the Ming Dynasty a few years earlier.

However, with Zhengde's current attitude towards me, Su Mu, can I catch up in that battle?

Thinking of this, Su Mu's head hurts and his heart becomes heavy.

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure out how to mend the relationship with Zhengde.

Stayed in Hu Mansion for one night, Su Mu stayed up all night, and only returned to his home at noon.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw my daughter enjoying the snow in the yard with Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu was so lively that it gave people a headache, running around in the yard, several maidservants screamed: "Second Miss, don't run, don't run, be careful and fall!"

Seeing someone chasing after Xiuxiu, she was even more excited, giggling and not listening.

Nannan, Mrs. Wu, and Xiaodie watched from the side and laughed.

Seeing the family so happy, Su Mu felt relieved, this is life!

He strode forward, hugged Su Xiuxiu, and kissed her vigorously.

"Don't, don't!" The little guy struggled vigorously, and shouted in a childish voice: "Be honest, don't move."

"What?" Su Mu was taken aback, the little guy was only over one year old, and his speech was vague, but he understood this sentence.

Su Xiuxiu couldn't stop kicking her father with her little feet: "Stop talking nonsense, get down, and report your name."

Xiao Die said with some embarrassment: "Master, this is when the second lady went to the street a few days ago, she saw a Jinyi guard interrogating pedestrians and heard it, so she learned it and talked all day long."

Madam Wu was suddenly worried: "Why does this girl look like a boy?"

Originally, the fact that Hu Keji was a bit stupid made Su Mu very unhappy.But he didn't want to, Xiuxiu was so spirited and lively, but he was greatly surprised.He laughed loudly and said, "How about being like a boy doll? I like it too."

Mrs. Wu waited for this to cheer up.

After playing with my daughter for a long time, the concierge came to report that it was Mr. Shi from Beizhen Fusi who had visited.

Mrs. Wu waited until she hugged Xiuxiu and hurried back to the inner house.

"Shi Wenyi is here, open the middle door wide, and I'll go to greet him."

Commander Shi's purpose for coming today, Su Mu naturally knew.

When he opened the middle door, he saw the head of Jinyiwei standing there respectfully with a small package in his hand. The package looked very heavy.

Shi Wenyi cupped his hands again and again: "Scholar, Liu Jin's case is finally over, and now I have some leisure, come here to bother me, don't blame, don't blame!"

After entering the study room where the guests and the host were seated, Shi Wenyi put the small package in his hand on the tea table next to Su Mu.

When he opened it, Su Mu saw that they were all 100 tael denominations of the Development Bank's currency exchange bills. There were about several hundred of them, and they looked like tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Su Mu: "Commander Shi, what do you mean?"

Before he finished speaking, Shi Wenyi knelt down in front of Su Mu with a plop: "Scholar, help, bachelor, help."

Su Mu was shocked, and helped him up: "How do you say that?"

Shi Wenyi choked with sobs in a low voice: "Scholar, how did Shi do this commander? I explained it clearly to you yesterday. But this morning, someone filed a bulletin to impeach me, saying that I am a member of Liu Jin's party. Your Majesty, please let me know." I took it and sent it down to the prison. I also ask the bachelor to uphold justice for me and return my innocence. The commander of the Jinyiwei made me not want to be an official anymore, but just want to go home safely and farm. Yesterday, the inspectors of Liu's mansion At that time, I originally left some things for the bachelor. However, after His Majesty came to check, the things inside must not be touched. I will convert it into cash, and I hope the bachelor will accept it."

Su Mu smiled lightly: "Commander Shi, are you bribing the subordinate? I am just a seventh-rank waiting to be used. How can I help you?"

Shi Wenyi: "Others don't know, don't the officials know? Su Xueshi, you are a man with hands and eyes. As long as you say a word, the civil servants will not write impeachment papers. Don't worry, as long as you pass this test, you will be impeached." The official immediately wrote a letter to resign, so as to make room for Hu Shunhu's experience. The money is not given to the bachelor, the bachelor is going to ask someone to do something, after all, it is to give someone some hard money, and Shi is not ignorant. I understand all the rules in the officialdom."

"Make room for Hu Jing." Su Mu smiled wryly, if it was in the past, with some luck, he might be able to let himself, the father-in-law of Mount Tai, be the commander of Jinyiwei.It can be said that former Zhengde had already turned against him, Su Mu, and Hu Shun had no such possibility.

Hearing Shi Wenyi talk about today's morning affairs just now, Su Mu's heart moved, and he asked: "What is the situation of today's morning court, what did His Majesty say, Liu Jin's case has been settled?"

"It's settled." Hearing Su Mu's question, Shi Wenyi hurriedly said: "This morning, the Sanju Judiciary handed over the conclusion of Liu Jin's case. Originally, according to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", Liu Jin rebelled, but Ling Chi was executed and Zhu San family. However, the emperor thought about it and remembered the old feelings, so he was sentenced to be hanged, and the family was sent to the border as slaves."

"Originally, the ministers refused to give up, and went forward to argue for a long time. Liu Jin was going to be sentenced to death by a thousand swords, and his face was red when he argued with the Lord Long Live. Finally, the Lord Long Live suddenly said, 'Why bother, after all, he is serving the My great companion for more than ten years, I can't do it! As a king, what we pay attention to is the heart of benevolence and forgiveness, so let's leave this matter as it is, okay?"

The more Shi Wenyi said, the more exciting his expression became: "Seeing the tears of the Long Live Lord, the ministers just let it go."

Su Mu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. It seems that the emperor really hurt his heart this time. I, Su Mu, might find it difficult to repair our relationship with Zhengde: "Then, when will Liu Jin be executed?"

"After three days, will the bachelor go to see it?" Shi Wenyi asked flatteringly: "At that time, I can send someone to wait on the bachelor."

Su Mu sat there sullenly, not speaking.

Shi Wenyi waited for a long time, seeing that Su Mu didn't say a word, he quietly exited the study with interest.

After a long time, Su Mu sighed and wrote a letter to Li Dongyang, proving to Shi Wenyi that he was not Liu Jin's best friend.

When you get money from others, you naturally have to do things.

Three days later, Liu Jin was executed at Caishikou, and Su Mu didn't go to see it.

To be honest, he was still very sad.After all, Su Mu and Liu Jin have known each other for five years, how can they bear to watch him being hanged?

Putting aside personal grievances, Liu Jin actually didn't have much bad deeds.The key issue is that Liu Jin single-handedly controlled the government and vigorously squeezed out the power of civil officials, which angered the entire civil official group.The balance between imperial power and civil official power since the mid-Ming Dynasty was completely broken, and the result of political imbalance was bound to be a life-and-death struggle.

However, this time, Liu Jin was defeated, completely defeated.

In the following days, the imperial court began to vigorously arrest Liu Dang faction.

Among the six ministries, all the officials promoted by Liu Jin were dismissed and returned to their hometowns without exception, and handed over to the local officials.

Shi Wenyi's position is high and powerful. Originally, the civil official group wanted to punish him for the crime of coercion.Later, Li Dongyang stood up and said that Shi Wenyi was not Liu Jin's person, nor did he do any evil things.So someone ransacked his home and dismissed him.

Anyway, Shi Wenyi's life was saved.His family is in business again, and he will be able to become a rich man in peace in the future.

After saving his life, Shi Wenyi personally came to pay his respects to Su Mu.

Su Mu was naturally too lazy to see this person.

After Shi Wenyi was dismissed, the post of Commander of Jin Yiwei was vacated.

This revived Hu Shun's mind, and he went out for activities every three days, scattered a lot of money, and kept sending people to invite Su Mu to discuss.

Poor Su Mu has a hard time to talk about, so how can he tell his father-in-law that he can't help him a little.If you really want to come forward, maybe there will be side effects.

When I met Hu Shun, I could only vaguely talk about it and deal with it.

What an important department of Jinyi's pro-army. On the day Shi Wenyi was dismissed, a new commander took office. Unsurprisingly, just like in real history, the new commander was called Qian Ning.

This man from the Yunnan family is the godson of the eunuch Qian Neng, and he is highly skilled in martial arts.Under Qian Neng's recommendation, he flattered Liu Jin again and was sent to serve as a bodyguard beside Emperor Zhengde.Because of his good archery skills, he was very favored, and Emperor Zhengde always carried Qian Ning with him when he did everything.When Zhengde gets drunk at banquets, he often sleeps on Qianning's belly.

Now, Bai Zhengde has become a godfather, and he calls himself "Emperor's concubine Qian Ning".

This person has a great reputation in history, and Su Mu has read his related materials before.Later, because he got involved in the civil service system, he didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the palace.I have been away from Beijing for two years, and I have never seen this person before returning this time.

Qian Ning served as the commander, and Hu Shun was furious and complained in front of his son-in-law.

Su Mu ignored it and let him go.

After the two powerful departments of Jinyiwei and Dongchang have changed their generals, it is time to reorganize the cabinet.

Among the four elders of the cabinet, Zhang Cai was arrested and brought to justice because he was Liu Jin's capable general. He was sentenced to beheaded and went to the execution ground with Liu Jin.

As for Jiao Fang, this person's reputation is too high, and the civil servants group will let her go.

After Jiao Fang asked for his resignation, it was agreed to let him return to his hometown to retire with his son Jiao Huangzhong, who was an official in the same dynasty.

Others under Liu Jin's leadership, such as Duan Jiong and others, were also dismissed at the same time.

As a result, the cabinet and the Sixth Ministry immediately vacated many positions.

Soon, the new Zhengde cabinet was re-established, still with Li Dongyang as the first assistant of the cabinet, Yang Tinghe was promoted to the second assistant, and Liu Zhong, Liang Chu, and Jiang Mian were added to the cabinet.

These three Xinge elders have no talents, nor are they well-known in history, but they are typical Ming Dynasty bureaucrats.

After the cabinet members were selected, the six ministries were changed all over again. The biggest change was that Yang Yiqing would go to Beijing to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

In this battle between civil officials and the emperor, the civil official group can be said to have the upper hand.

All this is the same as recorded in the real history, and Su Mu is not surprised.

However, what really surprised him was that his good friend Kang Hai was said to be an official of the Liu Party.

As for the reason for being regarded as Liu Dang, it is also a jerk.

The matter had to start from Li Mengyang.
