Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 817 One Month
With the order of Emperor Wanli, the cabinet became the marionette of the chief inspector.

Zhang Jing became the most powerful eunuch in the 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.Even Zhao Zhigao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, became his follower.

With the strong wind blown by Emperor Wanli, the grass in the court fell to Zhang Jing.I'm afraid Zhang Jing now says that the sun is black, and these people will agree that "it's really blacker than ink".

Of course, in the imperial court, not all are people who follow the trend.Many officials with conscience have signed up for resignation.

The room for the supervision of ceremonies.

Holding a stack of papers, Zhao Zhigao came to Zhang Jing: "Eunuch Zhang, there are three ministers and seven servants in the sixth department, please resign. Oh, including Shen Yiguan, the second assistant to the cabinet and the minister of the household department."

Zhang Jing sneered: "I, Zhang Jing, just took over the power of the court, and these ten officials all resigned? They are trying to show me! Huh, just right! The Ming Dynasty lacked ten of them. , there are not many more than ten of them! They don't want to be officials, some people want to be!"

The calculation in Zhang Jing's mind was crackling: If there are ten vacant positions for the officials of the Six Departments, ten people will be selected to fill them.I can make another windfall!

Zhao Zhigao tentatively asked: "What about the candidates for these people's seats, Eunuch Zhang?"

Zhang Jing said with a smile: "Let me consider it carefully."

At this time, Wei Zhongxian walked into the value room.

Zhang Jing said: "Zhongxian, you came just in time. I have a younger brother named Zhang Xun, and he is quite smart and capable. Why don't you join the Jinyiwei and be a commander. You are the eunuch who supervises the Jinyiwei. It's up to you to do it."

Zhang Xun, Zhang Jing's younger brother, is a lucky guy.After Zhang Jing made his fortune back then, he brought all his family members into the capital and raised them in a foreign house.Later, Zhang Jing killed Bai Xiaoyan by mistake, and He Liu washed Zhang's house with blood. Zhang Xun happened to stay overnight in Fireworks and Willow Lane and did not return home, so he escaped unharmed.

Later, Zhang Jing invested and let Zhang Xun open a pawnshop in the capital.

Wei Zhongxian said respectfully: "Don't worry, Eunuch Zhang. This is a trivial matter. I'll go to the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion in the afternoon and put up a plaque for the second master."

In the southern suburbs of the capital, the winter wind is bitter.A carriage changed and headed west.In the carriage, sat Shen Yiguan, former Minister of the Household Department and second assistant to the cabinet.

The supervisor of ceremonies has approved his resignation and return to his hometown.He has no official status, so he plans to go back to his hometown in Zhejiang, and spend the rest of his life enjoying poetry, calligraphy and painting.

Suddenly, a person blocked the way of the carriage.

The person standing in the way is Rongzheng Shangshu, He Liu.

Shen Yiguan got out of the carriage, cupped his hands and said, "Teacher, why are you here?"

In the year when Shen Yiguan was elected, He Liu was the examiner for the examination.Therefore, he has always respected He Liu as "teacher".

He Liu smiled and said, "Of course I'm waiting for you. Shen Cifu, are you going back to your hometown in Zhejiang?"

Shen ***: "Teacher, students are no longer secondary assistants. The state owns a traitor, and students are ashamed to stand in the imperial court with the traitor. It's good to go back to the countryside, so that you don't have to worry about paperwork."

He Liu restrained his smile: "Since you keep claiming to be my teacher. As a teacher, I will give you a teacher's order: go back to the capital!"

***Shen: "Students are mediocre people now, what's the use of staying in the capital?"

He Liu stretched out a finger.

Shen Yiguan was puzzled: "Teacher, what do you mean?"

He Liulang said: "A month, Zhang Jing can dance for a month at most!"

After finishing speaking, He Liu turned around and walked towards his official sedan chair.

Shen Yiguan looked at He Liu's hunched back, and suddenly thought of a sentence: Although the lion is old, it can still roar!

The coachman asked Shen Yiguan: "Sir, shall we continue our journey?"

Shen Yiguan said firmly: "No. I won't go to Zhejiang anymore. Go back to the capital."

Shen has always believed that since the sixth master can tell the date of January, he must be sure to bring down Zhang Jing.

He Liu returned home in the official sedan chair.In the hall of He Mansion, Bei Zhen Governor Luo Sigong is waiting there.

He Liu smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

Luo Sigong said angrily, "I'm here to complain to you."

He Liu smiled and said, "Has Zhang Jing been mad at you again?"

Luo Sigong replied: "He doesn't just give his disciples a favor? Do you know that Zhang Jing has a younger brother named Zhang Xun?"

He Liu thought for a while and said, "Zhang Xun seems to be a pawnbroker?"

Luo Sigong nodded: "That's right! A stinky pawn shop was unexpectedly inserted into our Jinyiwei by Zhang Jing'an to be the commander! He was above the governors of the South and North towns! As soon as he took office, he will control the robes of all the envoys." Brothers are like oxen and horses. The brothers all hate him so much that their teeth itch."

He Liu sternly said: "Sigong, be patient. Only by enduring what ordinary people can't bear, can great things be achieved."

Luo Sigong said: "Master, can you think of an urgent move and become Zhang Jing's fellow? Otherwise, the apprentice will find some reliable brothers and secretly arrest Zhang Jing..."

Speaking of this, Luo Sigong made a gesture of cutting his throat.

He Liu shook his head: "No! I will kill Zhang Jing in this life. And I want to kill him openly! Besides, he is now in power and has countless attendants and guards around him. The chance of successfully assassinating him is not great. "

Luo Sigong said: "Master, there are a few words that may not please me when I say them. Now Zhang Jing monopolizes the military and political power. You are an old minister of military affairs, but you are a polished minister. I heard that the generals of the three battalions all I don't really convince you. You seem to be even less sure that you want to kill him openly."

He Liu smiled and said, "Why, you don't trust Master?"

Luo Sigong hurriedly cupped his hands: "Master, I didn't mean that."

He Liudao: "I said a word to Shen Yiguan an hour ago. Now, I want to tell you this sentence again: one month, Zhang Jing can play for a month at most."

Luo Sigong said: "Master, have you already made up your mind?"

He Liu snapped his fingers and said, "Since the Jiajing Dynasty. Yan Song and his sons, Lu Fang, Chen Hong, Meng Chong, Zhang Siwei... Those giant villains with power over the government and the public, who is the opponent of the master? Zhang Jing and those giants A traitor is nothing more than a brainless idiot. If I can't even get rid of an idiot like him, I'll be a Jinyiwei for 56 years in vain."

He Liu's words reassured Luo Sigong.Luo Sigong said: "With the master's words, the apprentice will feel at ease."

He Liu changed the subject: "What I'm worried about now is not Zhang Jing. It's the dispute between Wang and Luo in Jinyiwei. Remember, you and Wang Zhizhen have always been brothers in the same school. Is there anything you can't talk about? Don't The face is torn apart, and the momentum is like water and fire. Jin Yiwei is not afraid of any insidious enemies, only afraid of internal fighting."

Luo Sigong said duplicity: "Master, apprentice respects your old teachings."

He Liudao: "That's all. I've already said what I said, it's up to you whether you listen or not. You can go."
