Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 799 He Liu, Old Fox
The main hall of Zhao Mansion.

Mrs. Zhao happily picked up a string of pearl necklaces from the brocade box on the table.There was a greedy light in her eyes.

Zhu Xiang smiled at the side and said: "This is a South Sea pearl. The crystals are crystal clear, which is extremely rare. Only such a pearl necklace is worthy of the wife of Zuoqian Yuan of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Mrs. Zhao smiled obsequiously: "How can the lowly maidservant afford such a generous gift from the county lord?"

Zhu Xiang smiled and said: "You and I are about the same age, like real sisters. From now on, you can just call me elder sister, don't call yourself a lowly maid again!"

Mrs. Zhao was overwhelmed with flattery: "How dare you, the county lord is the adopted daughter of Empress Dowager Li, the emperor's elder sister who lives forever..."

Zhu Xiang hurriedly said: "Mrs. Zhao's words are wrong. Although I have the status of the emperor, my husband is just a warrior. Unlike Mrs. Zhao, you are married to a Qingliu leader and a pillar of the court."

Mrs. Zhao said humbly: "My master's seat in Zuoqian Courtyard is not all due to your father's support."

Zhu Xiang changed the topic: "I don't know when Zhao Qianyuan will be on business?"

Mrs. Zhao said: "Maybe there will be a few more incense sticks."

Not long after, Zhao Min returned home.Seeing Zhu Xiang, he was quite surprised.

Zhao Min bowed to Zhu Xiang, and Zhu Xiang said: "Zhao Qianyuan, this time I come to your residence to say a few words to you on behalf of my father."

Zhao Min gave Mrs. Zhao a wink, and Mrs. Zhao tactfully withdrew from the main hall.

Zhu Xiangdao: "My father said that Zhao Qianyuan is talented, well-learned, and has a literati style. He is upright. To be a third-rank official seems to be overkill. He would like to help you remove the word '佥' from the official taboo."

The official taboo of the Zuoqian Court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is: Zuoqian Capital Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Ming Dynasty.

Zuoqian capital censor is located under the left and right deputy capital censors; left and right capital censors.

Removing the word '佥' means that He Liu is going to help Zhao Min become the highest official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate: Zheng Erpin Zuodu Censor!
Zhao Min was overjoyed at first, then restrained his smile and said, "County Master, since ancient times, there has been no love for no reason, nor hatred for no reason. I'm afraid there are conditions for the sixth master to help me advance to three levels in a row, right?"

Zhu Xiangdao: "Zhao Qianyuan really speaks quickly, that's exactly what it is!"

Zhao Min frowned: "If I'm not mistaken, the Sixth Master wants me to submit the paper to impeach Zhang Jing. With all due respect, Zhang Jing has now defeated the Sixth Master and is winning in the court. Many courtiers took advantage of the wind and took refuge in him. His power has increased by three points. If I am a small Zuoqian court, if I take part in impeaching him, it will be like moths to the flame. At that time, Not to mention that there is no hope of promotion, life will be in danger."

Zhu Xiang said half-sarcastically, "Oh, didn't everyone say that the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section Corridor are steadfast and fearless of power? Why are you so afraid of wolves and tigers at Zhaoqianyuan?"

Zhao Min said: "Hey, county lord. Don't speak dark words in front of the wise. Others don't understand us as officials, how can the old man not understand us? Iron bones and fear of power are just for others to see. It’s just a vain attempt! Ants steal their lives, let alone human beings?”

Zhu Xiang said: "Forget it. I won't fight with you anymore. Let me tell you the truth. The person my father asked you to impeach is not Zhang Jing, but Chen Ju and Wang An!"

When Zhao Min heard this, Monk Zhanger couldn't figure it out: "Eunuch Shen Wang, Eunuch Chen? Aren't these two father-in-laws allies of Master Liu?"

Zhu Xiang smiled and said, "Don't worry about who is your ally. Just say whether you want to be the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

Zhao Min remained silent, but the small calculations in his heart were crackling: Wang An and Chen Ju were originally Zhang Jing's subordinates in terms of official positions.Without He Liu's help, the power of the two is far below that of Zhang Jing.Zhang Jing was at odds with these two people.If I, Zhao Min, participated in these two people, would Eunuch Zhang not be happy?Although Liu Ye is now under house arrest, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.In court and in the palace, he can still talk.If I listened to Liu Ye's words and joined Wang and Chen, wouldn't I be able to please both sides?
At that time, when Zhang Jing was happy, the sixth master secretly tried his best for me, and the official hat of Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, wouldn't it be easy for me to grab it?

Zhu Xiang asked: "How about it, Zhao Qianyuan, have you considered it?"

Zhao Min said with a righteous face: "If there is no Liu Ye, I, Zhao Min, will still be a sixth-rank official! Without Liu Ye, I would not be where I am today! Liu Ye treats me like a new parent!" "Zhu Zijia "Training" has a saying: "Receive the favor of a drop of water, and the fountain will repay you"! What can the old man ask me to do, how can I be a turtle? I obey the sixth master's orders. I just don't know. What crime, to impeach Wang and Chen?"

Zhu Xiang smiled and said: "My father has already thought about the crime for you. Wang An is in the outer house, and the golden house hides the beauty. He married Su Liu'er, the former third-class maidservant of the Palace of Compassion and Peace. It is offensive. Watch his virtue. , is really not qualified for the post of Bingbi, Supervisor of Rites, and Superintendent of East Factory."

In fact, it is not a crime for a eunuch of Wang An's level to raise a pair of children.This is exactly He Liu's shrewdness.The charges he wants to find for Wang An must be just right to make him lose his official position, but not his life.

Zhao Min asked, "What about Chen Ju's crime? What is it?"

Zhu Xiangdao: "Last year, for Chen Ju's birthday, he received a silver wishful handle from Wang Zhizhen, the commander of Jinyiwei's 'Fushou Wannian', which was a private bribe for his subordinates. Judging from his morality, he is really not qualified for the supervision of the Rites Supervisor Bingbi, the Deputy Superintendent of the East Factory, and the Jinyiwei. The post of eunuch."

Zhao Min showed embarrassment: "These two charges are enough to make them lose their officials. But I don't have any evidence, it's just a rumor. If the two of them try to deny it, what should we do if they push [-]?"

Zhu Xiang said: "You don't have to worry about it, just do what my father said!"

Zhu Xiang went back to the mansion and found his father He Liu.

He Liu asked, "Have you seen Zhao Min?"

Zhu Xiang nodded: "I see."

He Liu asked again: "Has he agreed to participate in Wang An and Chen Ju as I said?"

Zhu Xiangdao: "There is a gift for his wife, and the official hat from the main hall of the Metropolitan Procuratorate as bait, so he naturally agrees. However, Zhao Min is worried..."

He Liu smiled and said, "I'm worried that if I don't have evidence, I won't be able to defeat Wang and Chen, right?"

Zhu Xiang was a little surprised: "Father, you are always like a fortune teller now, you can guess right."

He Liudao: "Evidence is actually very easy to find. Tomorrow, you go to the residence of Wei Zhongxian, the manager of Yongshou Palace! Tell him..."

He Liu explained to Zhu Xiang so and so, so and so.

Zhu Xiang gasped after hearing this: "Father, you are really an old fox."

He Liu sighed: "Silly boy, a thousand-year-old bastard can still become a genius, not to mention that dad is a living man who has served in Jinyiwei for nearly a year?"

Zhu Xiang asked: "Father, there is one thing I don't understand. Didn't you make peace with Zhang Jing a few years ago? Why is it suddenly so hot this year? Are you going to fight to the death?"

He Liu stared at his daughter: "The reason, I will tell you the reason when Dad defeats Zhang Jing."
