The undercurrent in the court gradually matured and formed a huge whirlpool. Rumors about the treacherous Nine Tigers spread more and more in the streets of the capital. Ding Shun was furious and ordered his men to interrogate a few idle men who spread rumors. But the result was unsatisfactory. When he talked about the rumors, he was very happy, but when asked about the source of the rumors, he was speechless. It was not that he didn't tell, but he didn't know where the rumors came from. It spread like this.
He had lost count of the number of times that Yan Guan had participated in the impeachment of Qin Kan. Anyway, in the eyes of Yan Guan who disliked him, whatever Qin Kan did was wrong. Words like insulting gentleness and acting viciously were used frequently. It fell on him. Once when he went to the capital to command the envoys, Qin Kan forgot to button a button on the neck of his official uniform, revealing a trace of his inner clothes. The next day, four supervisory censors reported to the cabinet at the same time. A memorial was issued, saying that the commander of the Jinyiwei had violated official etiquette and so on
To be honest, Qin Kan has been transformed into a two-skinned person and is becoming more and more numb.
However, this time, Qin Kan smelled something unusual.
When an incident begins to be talked about by the common people in the capital city, who would believe that the censors and officials who carry the manure and taste it when they pass by the door will remain indifferent?
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡
For several days, the court was eerily quiet. The censors were still filing charges against Qin Kan and the other Nine Tigers. They were locked in their study rooms racking their brains on how to write a colorful impeachment memorial to eliminate the traitor. When he was able to make a name for himself at the same time, a surprising news came from the court.
A veteran of the Five Dynasties in the Inner Palace, he was favored and respected by several generations of emperors in the Ming Dynasty. Xiao Jing, the eunuch who is now the Chief of Ceremonies, presented a memorial to Zhu Houzhao, requesting that he be relieved of his post as Chief of Ceremonies and leave the palace to return to his hometown to spend the rest of his life.
This is news that everyone expected but was unexpected.
It was expected because many ministers knew that Xiao Jing wanted to retire as early as last year. It was unexpected because no one expected that Xiao Jing would choose to retire at a time when the civil and military officials of the dynasty were secretly planning to eliminate adultery. Whether it was intentional or not, in fact, It's quite suspicious.
Xiao Jing was a veteran of the Five Dynasties, and served four times as the Chief of Ceremonies and the Eunuch. He was truly the number one person in the inner court. Emperors of all dynasties favored him extremely. He was cautious and low-key, fair and selfless, even those who had never looked down upon the power of eunuchs. The civil servants also had to give a thumbs up and praise him. He was indeed an outlier among eunuchs in the past, a rare loyal minister and wise prime minister. He had been in charge of the inner court for decades, and he had won unanimous praise from both inside and outside the court.
After handing in his resignation, Zhu Houzhao tried to persuade him to stay several times, and it was not just a formality, but a sincere attempt to stay. With Zhu Houzhao's heartless temper, he also had a hard time leaving Xiao Jing, which shows how deeply Xiao Jing wins people's hearts.
However, Xiao Jing had already decided to leave, and Zhu Houzhao and the three cabinet ministers had no choice but to approve his request for retirement.
This incident did not cause much commotion in the court. After all, Xiao Jing's retirement was something that many people had already known about. Except that the timing of his retirement was somewhat intriguing, nothing else was surprising.
Immediately afterwards, another thing happened, and that was truly eye-popping.
The day after Zhu Houzhao approved Xiao Jing's memorial, one of the three cabinet ministers, Li Dongyang, the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, suddenly fell ill.
Xiao Jing is old and has gradually faded away from the outside world, but Li Dongyang is different. He is one of the cabinet, a real insider, and a mainstay at the center of the court whirlpool. His illness is not the same as Xiao Jing's retirement. Same.
Li University is not sick and late, and is selected as a bone -eye. This disease can be more intriguing than Xiao Jingjie.
Some of the ministers who knew about the situation in the DPRK suddenly became unsteady in military morale. The ministers who were originally united in getting rid of the traitors began to hesitate.
*************************************************** ****************
Hearing the news that Li Dongyang fell ill, Liu Jian and Xie Qian hurriedly put down their official duties and went to visit Li Dongyang at his house.
The cabinet bachelor is the head of the hundred officials, so the house he lives in is naturally not much smaller.
Li Dongyang is a well-known virtuous minister and scholar in the world, and he has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. He was able to "write diameter ruler calligraphy" at the age of four. He was so famous that he was summoned to the palace by Emperor Daizong. The emperor was so happy that he "held him on his lap and gave him fruits." money".
Being embraced by the current emperor, his future is naturally bright, so Li Dongyang is as if he has been blessed by the Bodhisattva in the temple. His official career has been smooth sailing since he was a boy, with few twists and turns. At the same time, the Li family has become stronger and deeper. In the 16th year of Hongzhi's reign, , Li Dongyang's daughter married Kong Wenshao, the 62nd grandson of Kong Sage in Qufu, Shandong. Kong Wenshao was granted the title of Yanshenggong by the court, a first-class banchao, and Li Dongyang's daughter was also granted a first-class title.Since then, Li Dongyang has become the in-laws of the descendants of Confucius. From then on, when he coughed and spitted, he had the elegance of a saint, which attracted the envy of countless scholars.
Li's Mansion is located in the inner city, not far from the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial Palace. It covers an area of ??more than ten acres. The pavilions, corridors, waterside pavilions are elegant and unique, and quite luxurious. It can be seen that although Li Dongyang is a good minister and good minister, he is definitely not an upright official. He is filial in both overt and covert ways. Like Li Dongyang of oil and water, he took it as much as he could.
Liu Jian and Xie Qian were in the same cabinet as Li Dongyang, and their private friendship was quite good. When entering the Li Mansion, they went directly to the inner courtyard without being notified.
After passing through the Moon Gate, Liu Jian and Xie Qian walked straight into it without stopping, and the people in the Li Mansion did not stop them. The two of them were already regular visitors to the house, and there was no forbidden area for them in the Li Mansion.
Stepping into Li Dongyang's bedroom, Liu Jian and Xie Qian were shocked to see Li Dongyang wearing casual clothes, sitting upright in front of the desk and rubbing a piece of transparent ancient jade with a piece of soft silk. His face was rosy and his breath was calm. Why? He doesn't look like he's sick.
Liu Jian and Xie Qian stayed for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
"Xiya, Xiya, what are you doing again? I sent a servant to deliver a note to Wenhua Palace saying that I was sick. I rushed over in a hurry, but you have to tell us clearly today, you are calling What the hell is your idea?" Liu Jian couldn't laugh or cry.
Xie Qian had a rather venomous mouth, stroking his beard and snorted heavily, and said: "I almost brought a Taoist priest into the house to do the spiritual practice for you. Did you, old man, take the wrong medicine?"
Li Dongyang laughed loudly, put down the ancient jade in his hand, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Don't scold you two, you are both a cabinet bachelor who is a very humane minister. Please don't insult the gentleness."
Liu Jian smiled and scolded: "Come on, why are you reporting illness for no reason? Don't you know that now is the time to work together to eliminate the traitor inside and outside the court? Your illness has caused many ministers to hesitate, it simply shakes the morale of the army."
Li Dongyang smiled lightly and said, "I'm not sick, but the imperial court is sick."
Liu Jian and Xie Qian suppressed their smiles and said, "Why do you say this?"
Li Dongyang sighed: "Don't you think that there is already a smoky atmosphere in the court now? It has only been a short time since the death of the late emperor, and now His Majesty is slacking in government affairs. All state affairs are handed over to the Supervisor of Ceremonies for approval. Xiao Jing is old and the Supervisor of Ceremonies is in charge. Although Yu Wangyue does not have the title of eunuch, domestic and foreign affairs are decided by him alone, and he is the real internal minister"
Liu Jian frowned and said, "Xi Ya is worried about Wang Yue? Wang Yue is also a veteran of Hongzhi. He is cautious and fair in dealing with people. Why should he be worried?"
Li Dongyang smiled: "It is good to be cautious in dealing with things, but it is not necessarily fair. You two Ming Gongs, the so-called traitor around your majesty is really what Wang Yue said? Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, etc., of course there are villains who flatter and seduce the superiors. But that¡¯s not all. These eunuchs are short-sighted and talented. They only focus on the ready-made benefits. As for how much harm they will do to the country, it is obviously a bit alarmist, and the one you say should be cut into pieces Qin Kan is not an evil and sycophantic person. He originally wrote "Cai Gen Tan" to teach His Majesty how to behave as a human being. He introduced the case of salt management to appease the Ming Dynasty Salt Law. During the enthronement ceremony, he took the initiative to give in and was willing to only appoint a commanding officer to order the ceremony. Let's continue smoothly and not become the laughing stock of the world You two, I can't guarantee whether Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and those people are treacherous, but I can be sure that Qin Kan is not a bad person."
Liu Jian said in a deep voice: "Xi Ya wants to intercede for Qin Kan and the others?"
Li Dongyang sighed and said: "I just don't want our cabinet to become a chess piece that can be used by others. You two have been fooled by Wang Yue. Wang Yue is now only one step away from the position of Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies, but this position is not guaranteed. His Majesty, there are many variables. His Majesty is young and has an unusually close relationship with the old ministers of the East Palace. Wang Yue and His Majesty are quite unfamiliar. Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and others have undoubtedly become Wang Yue's confidants, while Qin Kan and Wang Yue are quite different. There are so many old grievances. Wang Yue complained about the many crimes of Qin Kan and others in front of us. In fact, he wanted to use the hands of the cabinet and court officials to help him get rid of his troubles! If you and I cut off the traitors, we will definitely offend His Majesty. In the end, we are busy doing things for others. Wedding clothes, why bother, why bother.¡±
Xie Qian solemnly said: "Xi Ya, Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and others will not be mentioned. They must be traitors. Qin Kan is not necessarily any better. Everyone has their merits and demerits in life, and no one is immune. However, Qin Kan's merits are only a few grains of rice, but Qin Kan's faults can greatly destroy the country and the dynasty. No matter what Wang Yue's thoughts are, the crimes he mentioned about Qin Kan are true. If this person is not eliminated, the court will be in trouble. Jing!¡±
Liu Jian sighed and said: "How can there be so many things that have the best of both worlds in this world? In the end, we can only choose one thing and let down the same thing. You and I are veterans for decades, but we can cut off evil thieves for the world and the court, even if we are What¡¯s wrong with people taking advantage of it?¡±
As he spoke, Liu Jian's expression suddenly became cold and stern: "Now that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired, what's the use of talking about it? As long as I, Liu, are here, the court will not become anyone's pawn. Qin will be dealt with." For people like Liu Jin, just turn around and set up the chessboard to fight with that old eunuch Wang Yue! The power of the outer court and the inner court have always been equal, and each has its own style. Today, we take this opportunity to profit from chaos and strike hard. A sudden arrogance in the inner court may not be a good thing for my outer court."
Seeing the determined looks on Liu Jian and Xie Qian's faces, Li Dongyang's heart gradually sank, and a sad and dejected sigh left his mouth.
