Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 798 Avalanche
Since Zhu Xiang returned to Beijing, He Liu only told her that he was convicted by Zhang Jing.But it is not stated that He Shizhong was killed by Zhang Jing.

He Liu is well aware of his fiery daughter.Once she knows the truth, maybe she will enter the palace with a knife to find Zhang Jing desperately.He Liu didn't want to see his daughter die from "manslaughter" like his wife Bai Xiaoyan.

Early the next morning, Zhu Xiang changed into the magistrate's uniform, entered the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and chatted with Empress Dowager Li for a long time.

Empress Dowager Li has also thought about it these years: power is like summer rain, it comes quickly and goes quickly.Only Buddha is eternal.

Empress Dowager Li, who sees through power struggles in the world, worships Buddha wholeheartedly and has an open mind.It seemed to be ten years younger.

It was almost noon.Zhu Xiang said to Empress Dowager Li: "Empress Dowager, it's getting late. The servants and servants will leave first."

Empress Dowager Li said: "Accompany Ai's family to have lunch before leaving. Ai's family remembers that you loved stewed pig's trotters when you were young. Ai's family specially ordered Shangshan Supervisor to stew one."

Zhu Xiang said meaningfully: "Don't dare to lie to the queen mother, the servants and servants still have things to do. Can the queen mother issue a decree to let Wang An Wang Gonggong send the servants and servants out of the palace?"

What a smart woman is Queen Mother Li?Although she no longer interferes with political affairs, she knows the court situation well.She understood and ordered the personal maid: "Go, call the prince and ask him to send the Lord of Laiyang out of the palace."

Wang An came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning and sent Zhu Xiang out of the palace.

In the long lane of the Palace of Mercy Ning, Zhu Xiang lowered his voice and said, "My father asked me to tell Eunuch Wang and Eunuch Chen to hand over Dongchang and Jinyiwei to Zhang Jing."

Wang An was surprised and said: "Master, if the sixth master asked us to do this, doesn't it mean that he took the initiative to admit defeat with Zhang Jing, Zheng Guifei, and the third son of the emperor? The factory and the guard are the last barrier to protect the eldest son of the emperor. Once it is handed over to Zhang Jing , the consequences are disastrous!"

Zhu Xiang said: "Grandpa Wang, I have already brought my father's words. Whether you do what he said is up to you."

After sending Zhu Xiang away, Wang An left the palace and came to Jinyiwei to find Chen Ju.

Chen Ju asked: "The Lord of Laiyang County entered the palace again today?"

Wang An nodded: "She passed a word on behalf of Liu Ye."

Chen Ju asked anxiously: "What are you talking about? Master Liu has figured out a way to deal with Zhang Jing?"

Wang An shook his head: "The sixth master said, let us hand over the power. Hand over Jinyiwei and Dongchang to Zhang Jing."

Chen Ju was dumbfounded when he heard this: "What? Hand over the power? Once the power of the factory guard is handed over, who else in the government and the public can restrain Zhang Jing? By then, Zhang Jing will not only be in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, but also have the power of the factory guard. He will cover the sky with one hand in the court! If the chief assistant of the cabinet is a famous official like Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing, and Wang Xijue, he may still be able to compete with Zhang Jing. But the current chief assistant of the cabinet is that softie Zhao Zhigao!"

Wang An analyzed calmly: "I thought that the sixth master was getting old. He suddenly found out who the murderer was, and his blood surged and he lost his mind. The trick he gave us is obviously a stupid one. We It doesn't matter if you don't listen."

Wang An and Chen Ju were determined not to hand over power.There are two reasons for this.For one thing, they couldn't really appreciate He Liu's intentions.Secondly, Wang and Chen are not saints, but good people among the eunuchs.Any normal person, who would be willing to give away the power in his hands?

He Liu waited at home for three days.Zhu Xiang became his only eyes and ears.She went out every day to visit the wives and young ladies of those high-ranking officials, and inquired about news from the court.

For three whole days, there was no news of the factory and Wei changing hands.

He Liu was not surprised.Thinking about it differently, if Wang An and Chen Ju were replaced by him at the age of 40, He Liu would not easily hand over the power in his hands.

Today, He Liu, Zhu Xiang, and He Zezhen were eating in the dining room.

Zhu Xiang picked up a chicken leg for He Zezhen, and complained: "Zezhen is already seventeen years old, and she should have consummated her marriage with Princess Jinyang of Lu Wang's family! But now... alas!"

He Zezhen asked Zhu Xiang: "Auntie, have you met Princess Jinyang? Is she good-looking?"

Zhu Xiangdao: "Last year when I went to Beijing to pay a visit to Princess Lu, I met that little girl. She looks pretty good, comparable to my aunt and I when we were teenagers."

When He Zezhen heard this, he choked on a mouthful of rice, and pointed at Zhu Xiang with a bitter face: "Good aunt. What do you mean, she is as fat as you?"

He Liu smiled and said: "Silly boy. When your Aunt Xiangxiang was in her teens, although she could not be called an all-powerful girl, she was also a beautiful and graceful girl. Come on, you take the bowl and go to the study to eat. I will eat with your aunt I have something to say."

After He Zezhen left, Zhu Xiang said: "Father, according to the information I have inquired in the past three days, the two father-in-laws, Wang and Chen, did not listen to your words."

He Liu nodded: "As expected. In the afternoon today, you go to pay a visit to the wife of Zhao Min from the Zuoqian Court of the Lower Metropolitan Procuratorate. Take this opportunity to say a few words to Zhao Min."

Zhao Min, a member of Yanguan Group.Like most of the officials in the Wanli Dynasty, this person prides himself on being a clean streamer, speaks and does things, and always occupies the moral high ground.However, he is a mercenary villain in his bones.

Zhao Min is a chess piece buried in the Yanguan Group by He Liu.Before He Liu went to Yuyang as an envoy, he ordered Zhao Min to participate in the impeachment of Liu Shouyou, the commander of the Jinyiwei at the time, and took Wang Zhizhen to the position of commander.

in exchange for benefits.After the matter was completed, He Liu wrote a recommendation letter to Wang Jiaping, the chief assistant of the cabinet at the time, recommending Zhao Min to be a prefect in the local area.After three years of office, he was transferred back to the capital, then returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and was promoted to the third grade Zuoqian Academy.

Zhu Xiang asked: "As far as I know, Zhao Min is a member of the Yanguan Group. Father, don't you hate those Yanguan who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and harm the country with empty talk?"

He Liudao: "This is called using strength to fight strength. I want to use all the power I can use to make the power snowball in Zhang Jing's hands grow bigger and bigger."

Zhu Xiang frowned: "Father, my daughter doesn't understand what you're doing."

He Liu smiled and said, "Daughter. You know, the snowball gets bigger and bigger, what will be the final result?"

Zhu Xiang asked, "What will happen?"

A sly smile appeared on He Liu's face, and he said a two-word answer: "Avalanche!"

Nancheng, Yangdanzi Hutong.

Deep in the alley, there is a small courtyard.This is the residence of Zhao Min, Zuoqian Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

There is a world of difference between the south and north of the capital.The people living in Beicheng are rich businessmen, high-ranking officials, and noble relatives of the emperor.The people living in Nancheng are all common people and poor people.

Zhao Min was a local magistrate, and he caught up with the "good time" when the examination was successful and the law survived in name only, and corruption became common again.He worked his hands up and down, and really made a lot of money.But Zhao Min knows the truth of not revealing money.Besides, he squatted in the Metropolitan Procuratorate all day long, boasting that he was clean, and no one would notice that he had gained a lot of benefits when he was a magistrate.

Therefore, he did not go to Beicheng to buy a deep house, but bought this small courtyard in Nancheng as the residence of the Zuoqian Yuan of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
