Chapter 474 Violence
Chen Hong's words can only be described in four words: Shi Po Tian Jing, no one could have predicted that things would turn out like this.

It should be said that before today, Sun Dan was still complacent.In his view, the cabinet shake-up is just a matter of this period of time.Mao Ji had already retreated, and it was Jiang Mian's turn next.There shouldn't be any suspense about Zhai Luan joining the cabinet. As for Yang Shen, because of his relationship with Yang Tinghe, he probably couldn't be a member of the cabinet.But Wang Yuanzheng lacks prestige.Then, based on the relationship between Sun Dan and the emperor, the remaining one should go to Sun Dan.

However, changes in the situation do not depend on his will.Because Sun Dan and Huang Jin fought repeatedly and fought to the death for the establishment of the reserve, they violated Jiajing's taboo for some reason.As a result, Shuangshuang was demoted to the local government.

Things have come to this point, maybe there is still power to recover.After all, the emperor's imperial decree has not yet been issued, and there is still room for work.Even if Jiajing could not be persuaded, it was acceptable not to go to Sichuan. At any rate, he was a governor of the second rank, a feudal official in charge of one side, and he had reached a level politically.

However, until now, Chen Hongqian took the risk and rushed to Sun's residence overnight, but brought a bad news: the emperor sent Lu Bing's father, Lu Song, to lead troops to arrest him, Sun Dan.

Hearing the news of Chen Hong, everyone in the room stood up in shock: "Really?"

Sun Dan was also a little confused, but as the leader of the crowd, he couldn't let everyone see how he looked when he was flustered.

Taking a deep breath to calm her beating heart, Sun Dan asked Han Yue in a deep voice, "Han Yue, didn't you come from Jin Yiwei just now? Why didn't you hear the news?"

Han Yue knelt on the ground with a plop: "Master, if this is the case, there can only be two reasons. One, Chen Hong is lying. Chen Hong is Huang Jin's son..."

Han Yue articulated the doubts in everyone's minds, and everyone's eyes fell on Chen Hong, with killing intent in their eyes.

Sun Dan immediately interrupted Han Yue: "I believe in Chen Hong."

Just one sentence is enough, and Chen Hong's face is full of excitement.

Sun Dan pulled Han Yue up: "The matter is urgent, so there is no need to be so polite, just have something to say."

Han Yuedao: "Secondly, it is that you have a special status, sir. It is impossible for the Jinyiwei of the ordinary Beiya to know this news." After all, arresting a editor of the Imperial Academy, a future cabinet minister, and the emperor's confidant, is too appalling. This kind of thing can only be known by a limited number of people.

Sun Dan nodded: "It should be like this." He looked at Chen Hong: "Say, tell me everything you have seen."

Chen Hong: "Yes, when it was getting dark, Long Live summoned Huang Jin. The emperor has ignored Huang Jin for a long time, and took away his privilege of approving red. It is estimated that Huang Jin, the bird man, was also flustered and didn't know what to do. Respond. He is a fool, when he heard His Majesty said that he wanted to see him, he panicked and said Chen Hong, I am a smart person, let me go with him."

Knowing that time was running out, Chen Hong spoke faster and faster, and soon told Sun Dan and others what happened earlier.

……

It turned out that Huang Jin personally felt very excited when he received Jiajing's order.After all, since the emperor took back Huang Jin's right to approve red, it has been a while since he ignored his big companion.Huang Jin was not capable enough, the reason why he was able to sit so stably in the position of eunuch in charge of the ceremony had a lot to do with the special relationship with the emperor.It can be said that his personal honor and disgrace all depend on the emperor's personal likes and dislikes.

Now that the emperor was finally willing to see him, Huang Jin was overjoyed, and after discussing with Chen Hong for a long time, he hurried to Yuxi Palace.

Before meeting the emperor, Huang Jin and Chen Hong had already discussed it. Anyway, no matter what the emperor said, Huang Jin would keep silent and let Jiajing vent his anger.

But as soon as I arrived at Yuxi Palace, I heard the emperor roar loudly in the abode: "How do you know, and where did you know it. The harem is not allowed to interfere with politics. Dukuan, when will you be able to let a woman like you speak?"

It was followed by a loud slap.

Empress Chen shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, Sun Jingyuan made great contributions to you at the beginning. Now you want to demote him to Sichuan. Wouldn't it make people in the world laugh at you for killing the donkey? How can a capable person serve you?"

Hearing this sentence, Huang Jin's body trembled, and his heart was excited: When will this Sun Dan go to Sichuan? He just returned to Beijing from Huainan, and he has never met the emperor at all. furious?
Huang Jin and Chen Hong glanced at each other, then walked quickly towards the house.

Before entering the house, Emperor Jiajing's angry cry came again: "Scholar with lofty ideals, talented man with lofty ideals, hmph, God loves talents, and the only people we use are public and loyal. It doesn't matter if you can or not. He, Sun Jingyuan, is a A great talent, but a bad conscience. If you play tricks in front of me, you really think I'm a fool."

Probably because of being too excited, the moment Huang Jin stepped into the room, he saw the emperor grabbing the queen's arm with a hideous expression.Empress Chen burst into tears in pain and cried out loudly.

Emperor: "Tell me, where did you know that Sun Dan is going to Sichuan?" He shouted angrily: "I knew it, you have been coveting the crown prince, isn't that Sun Dan the one who wants to marry his daughter to me?" Prince? Well, well, if your son becomes the crown prince in the future, his Sun Dan will be the prince’s father-in-law. Haha, he is rich and powerful, and his Sun Jingyuan is very scheming."

Empress Chen shouted: "Long live, isn't my son your son? As you said, the ancestors have their own laws. Whether it is the establishment of the elder or the establishment of the first son, my son Zaitu should be the prince."

"What if I don't agree?" The emperor's face was distorted: "So, you come to peek at my imperial decree. I know that Sun Dan is very rich. In the past few years, you have relied on him to spend money for nothing." Yin Zi, I don’t know how many eunuchs and maids in the palace have been bribed. Those slaves, for money, for the empress, for the future prince, dare to peek at my imperial decree. I... swear to kill them.”

At this time, Huang Jin and Chen Hong finally understood the ins and outs of this matter.It must be that the emperor wrote an imperial decree to release Sun Dan, but for some reason, this imperial decree was peeped, and the news reached Queen Chen's ears.

Empress Chen was in a hurry, and without thinking about the consequences, she went directly to the emperor to intercede for Sun Dan.As a result, the emperor's taboo was violated, and the two quarreled.

Today's Sun Dan is Empress Chen's number one supporter in the court. Empress Chen buys people's hearts in the palace, and Sun Dan provides the large sum of money needed.Moreover, Sun Dan is her chief think tank.If Sun Dan is sent out to be an official, with Queen Chen's ability, it may not take long for her to be suppressed by Concubine Zhang.

Although Huang Jin was overjoyed, Chen Hong was shocked.Because he had been with the empress all year round, he had the opportunity to peek at the secret decree. As soon as he saw the decree, he ran to Wang Lijiang to report the news.But he never expected that Queen Chen would also know about this edict through other channels.It can be seen that Empress Chen, or rather, does not know how much eyeliner Sun Dan has arranged in the palace.

It seems that the mentor has really spared no effort, all the dark chess pieces have been arranged a few years ago.It's really awe-inspiring.

Seeing Empress Chen being reprimanded loudly by the emperor, Huang Jin felt very happy.But on the surface, he had to pretend.He quickly walked up to the emperor and knelt down, saying repeatedly: "Long Live Lord, it's not worth getting angry about trivial things. Your Majesty, it's your own body that gets angry. Please take care of your dragon body!"

It's good that he didn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor let go of Empress Chen, gave Huang Jin a cold look, and suddenly said, "Huang Jin, are you finally willing to come to see me?"

Huang Jin was so frightened by the emperor's tone that his whole body broke into cold sweat, and tremblingly said: "Long Live Lord, if you don't summon the slave, how dare the slave come to see you."

"Hey, Huang Jin, have you gotten rich?" The emperor sneered loudly.

Huang Jin was shocked and kowtowed: "Long Live Lord, Huang Jin earns a salary of tens of taels a month, where does he get rich?"

"Is there no place to make a fortune? You are the inner minister, and you can directly approve the red for me. It can be said that the life and death of the local officials are all in your hands. Do you dare to offend you? It doesn't matter if you offend me, offend you, the minister of rites." The supervisor is in charge, his future is coming to an end. Hey, Huang Jin, your annual ice ceremony and charcoal fire are not a small amount, right?"

Huang Jin was even more frightened, and kowtowed: "Long Live Lord, Huang Jin doesn't want to accept the gift of souvenirs from the people below. But, you have done things for others, and others have to give you something." Don't worry. If you don't follow up, he will always feel that you have a prejudice against him. As a minister of ceremonies, no matter whether it is an internal or external minister, it is impossible for them to blush because they need to be filial. You have to give them a step down. yes."

"Native products, are they really local products?"

Huang Jin's voice was so trembling that he couldn't complete his speech: "Just some local products, like a few days ago, Ganbida sent over a dozen jars of salted duck eggs. I didn't eat any of them, and threw them all into the Jinshui River to feed the fish. "

"Of course you, Huang Jin, don't like a few salted duck eggs. What you want is money." The emperor said gloomyly: "More than 100 million taels of silver, you Huang Jin took at least 100 million. You are rich. Sorry, I can't even send out the month of the palace servants. I wanted to steal the houses of the two thieves, Wang and Gan, but I can make up for this shortfall. Poor, all the money fell into the hands of you moths. Okay You dare to rob me of my money. Eunuch Huang, Prime Minister Huang, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!" Huang Jin kowtowed with tears streaming down his face, his forehead dripping with blood.
