Smuggling Daming

As long as people in the capital hear this name, they can't help but shudder, because this name represents cruelty, blood and death. As long as there is anything related to this name, there will be absolutely no good things.However, not everyone can enter Jinyiwei Imperial Prison. Generally, only those officials who commit crimes will be imprisoned in Imperial Prison. Ordinary people who commit crimes can only enter Shuntian Mansion Prison at most.

Edict prisons have existed since ancient times, but in many cases it does not refer to physical prisons, but refers to cases where the emperor issued an edict to allow prisoners to go to prison. However, in the Ming Dynasty, with the emergence of the special department of Jinyiwei, they served The emperor ordered all officials to be supervised, and all the officials who committed crimes were arrested, so their Jinyiwei private prison was also called imperial prison.

Jin Yiwei belonged to the emperor's private army, independent of the national government. Naturally, the edict prison was not supervised by any state department, but directly belonged to the emperor. The prison is almost free from any supervision, which also makes the prison extremely dark, and the prisoners who enter it have almost no hope of getting out alive.

It is also because of the fierce reputation of the imperial prison, so no matter how beautiful you are in the court, as long as you enter here, you have to stay there honestly, otherwise all kinds of cruel things like skinning, tongue pulling, and spine breaking will be done in the imperial prison. Xing is not a vegetarian.

However, there is always an exception to everything. Since Liu Jin was arrested and imprisoned, instead of being honest, he scolded every day in the cell. The two murderers who directly led to his downfall were even more scolded by him, as for Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others.It is also the key object of his scolding.

For Liu Jin's scolding, Jin Yiwei in the imperial prison also had a headache. It was the first time they saw such an arrogant person after entering the imperial prison. If it was someone else, they would have been tortured by them long ago.However, Liu Jin is not an ordinary person. Zhang Cai and Shi Wenyi, the two previous Jinyiwei commanders, were both Liu Jin's subordinates. They were also imprisoned.But their prestige is still there, ordinary Jin Yiwei not only dare not touch them, but have to serve them with good food and drink.

After dinner today, Liu Jin continued to scold as usual, and the Jin Yiwei who guarded him had already figured out the rules, knowing that Liu Jin would have three meals in the morning, lunch and evening.They will definitely swear in a sharp voice for a while. In order to keep their ears quiet, many people consciously stay away from Liu Jin's cell.

"Zhang Yong, you are a martial artist who can only use some brute force. If it weren't for His Majesty's face, the Sa family would have sent you to Fengyang to guard the imperial tomb. But you colluded with foreign ministers to punish our family. Sooner or later One day you will suffer the same retribution..."

Although Liu Jin is old.But the shrill voice was extremely penetrating, echoing in the empty prison for a long time, those guards in Jin Yiwei all avoided, but the prisoners in the cell next to Liu Jin could not escape, these people were also Liu Jin before His comrades wanted to persuade them but dared not persuade them, so they could only cover their ears and huddled in the straw in the corner of the cell.

Liu Jin, who had just eaten, was full of energy.I scolded for nearly an hour in a row, and there were no repetitions.But just when Liu Jin was scolding vigorously.Suddenly the gate of the imperial prison opened, and a young man wearing a royal guard uniform came in. He was in his 20s, tall and strong, and very handsome, but his eyes were too narrow and long, which made him look at people. It always seems to be squinting, and it also gives people a sinister impression.

This narrow-eyed young man is none other than Qian Ning, who has just been promoted to be the commander of Jinyiwei. Qian Ning's surname is not Qian, but he was adopted by an eunuch named Qian when he was a child, so he changed his surname to Qian. Baihu, then became the confidant of Emperor Zhengde and was promoted to Qianhu. Although he was Liu Jin's subordinate on the surface, he actually took orders directly from Emperor Zhengde, and was immediately promoted to the commander of Jinyiwei after Liu Jin's downfall. In charge of the prison.

Seeing Qian Ning coming in, Liu Jin immediately stopped scolding others, but pointed at Qian Ning and began to scold. After all, others may be afraid of Qian Ning, but he is not. Even if his life is in Qian Ning's hands now, he will still It's not wrong to scold.

However, Qian Ning smiled disdainfully at Liu Jin's scolding, and then, as if he didn't hear it, he ordered his subordinates to transfer all the prisoners from the cell next to Liu Jin, because someone would come to see Liu Jin soon. Jin, he didn't want others to hear his conversation with Liu Jin, so he could only transfer those prisoners.

Liu Jin saw that Qian Ning ignored him and sent away all the prisoners in the cell next to him. This surprised him at first, but then his face revealed an expression of ecstasy. He adjusted his prison clothes and at the same time gathered his messy hair so that he would not look too embarrassed.

Soon the surrounding prisoners were all transferred, and then Qian Ning ran out to report in person. After a while, Qian Ning accompanied Emperor Zhengde into the imperial prison, but when Zhu Houzhao walked in, he couldn't help frowning. Because the ubiquitous damp and rancid smell in the imperial prison made him feel very uncomfortable.

I saw that Emperor Zhengde came to Liu Jin's cell under the guidance of Qian Ning. At this time, other irrelevant people all retreated, and Zhengde was only followed by Qian Ning and Gu Dayong.And when Liu Jin saw him, he immediately rushed to the fence in front of the cell very excitedly, knelt down on his knees and burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty, you finally came to see the old slave, the old slave was wronged!"

Zhu Houzhao was very calm about the cry of grievances. He waved his hand to ask Qian Ning to open the cell door, and then walked into the cell. Behind him, Gu Dayong moved a chair in a hurry, and only opened his mouth after Emperor Zhengde sat down. He said to Liu Jin, "Liu Jin, stand up!"

Hearing that Zhu Houzhao didn't call himself Liu Banban like before, Liu Jin was afraid, and said in a trembling voice: "Old... this old slave dare not, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Hmph, now you know you're guilty?" Zhu Houzhao's face turned cold suddenly, and he stared at Liu Jin aggressively and asked.

Feeling the chill in His Majesty's words, Liu Jin couldn't help but tremble, but he still insisted on defending himself: "Your Majesty, this old slave was wronged, Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing made up a lot of crimes for this old slave in order to convict him. Aside from other things, just the fact that this old slave rebelled is nothing short of ridiculous. The old slave's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen every day, and as an eunuch, the old slave relies on His Majesty's power, so there is no possibility of rebellion. ?”

Unexpectedly, when Zhu Houzhao heard Liu Jin's words, he shook his head slightly and said: "Liu Jin, why don't you understand until now, I have long been aware of the crimes Zhang Yong made up for you, It's nothing more than wanting to make you unable to stand up, but I finally agreed to everything, in other words, all your crimes came from my order!"

"Boom~" Liu Jin felt as if his mind had been struck by lightning. Although he had guessed about this before, Emperor Zhengde himself admitted that he wanted to punish him. Time is still unacceptable.Seeing Liu Jin's shocked and pitiful look, Qian Ning and Gu Dayong behind Zhengde showed a bit of sarcasm.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, the old slave has followed your orders all these years to clean up all the old officials in the court, so that no one in the court dares to criticize His Majesty's actions, and handle the affairs of the court conscientiously. Don't dare to slack off, why does Your Majesty want to..."

When Liu Jin spoke at the end, he also seemed very emotional. When Zhu Houzhao first came to the throne, there were three Guming ministers Xie Qian, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang in the court. But there is no real power, which naturally made Zhengde very dissatisfied, so he supported the Eight Tigers headed by Liu Jin to seize power, and finally drove all the old officials like Xie Qian out of the court, and the imperial power fell into the hands of the emperor again, but because Zhengde himself was greedy To play, that's why he handed over the power of the government to Liu Jin. Others say that Liu Jin is in power, but the real reason lies in Zhengde.

However, regarding Liu Jin's words, Zhengde snorted coldly and said: "Yes, it was indeed I who asked you to squeeze out Xie Qian and others, and you did a good job. I leave it to you to take care of it, but I let you take care of the government, but I didn't let you rule out dissidents and dominate, and I didn't let you form cliques for personal gain, take bribes and enrich yourself!"

Zhengde seemed to be a little angry when he said this, he suddenly stood up from the chair, strode up to Liu Jin and pointed at him: "Look at what you have done these years, the whole court is actually You have become your voice, and anyone who dares to disobey you will be retaliated by you. They will either be killed or demoted, and others will call you Lidi Emperor. There is only one emperor in the whole world. If you are the emperor, then What am I?"

After listening to Zhu Houzhao's scolding, Liu Jin's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He is not an idiot, otherwise he would not be able to gain power, but before he was blinded by the power in his hands, he acted too arrogantly With a high profile, he didn't expect that he had already touched the emperor's scales.

"Your Majesty, the old... the old slave is convicted!" Liu Jin was stunned for a while, and finally said with a dead face. Now he finally understands that he may really be dead this time.

Zhu Houzhao is also a very emotional person. When he saw Liu Jin's face of despair, he couldn't help but think that when he was in the East Palace, he was all accompanied by people like Liu Jin. This made him feel soft, and he said immediately: "Liu Jin, you can go at ease, but I am not a heartless person. Your elder brother's child will be sent away, and I will definitely not let you talk about the end of your family!"

Liu Jin's original surname was Tan, but he changed his surname to Liu after entering the palace.Now that Liu Jin heard Zhengde's words to let him go on the road with peace of mind, his mood suddenly calmed down. At that moment, he bowed deeply to Zhengde and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I understand!" (To be continued.
