eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 777 If you don’t offend them, then offend the emperor.

The taste of Nanjing has changed.

Just before and after Liu Jin arrived.

Jiang Ning's killing of a county magistrate was not a big deal to Mr. Liu, but killing him all the way made public sentiment and official sentiment boil over!

Xu Yun ran towards Jing Shaokui very quickly, his expression still a bit panicked, "Zhongcheng! Something bad has happened!"

Jing Shaokui was writing an official document. After folding it and stuffing it into an envelope, he asked, "But that Eunuch Liu?"

"Exactly. Liu Jin went on a killing spree all over Nanjing, and mobilized the Thirteen Nanjing Guards to go to Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou and Songjiang. Not to mention those far away, in Nanjing alone, he ordered people to arrest the former Scholars who opposed the clearing of their husband's land. After arresting them in prison, they were interrogated severely and asked to hand over their accomplices! In just one or two days, the prison was almost full!
This kind of movement is too big, and he is really bold. Now officials from all walks of life in Nanjing are discussing. One group wants to go to Beijing to see His Majesty, and the other group goes directly to Liu Jin!This is really a mess! "

As the sixth capital, Nanjing not only has Jinyiwei, but also institutions such as Liubu, Taipu Temple, and Taichang Temple.

There is no need to say more about this.

Jiangning is just a microcosm of Nanjing. Jiangning is like this, and other counties and counties are like this. It's just that some counties don't have officials down, including the gentry, students, etc., all died under the guillotine.

But in just two days, factory guards arrested people on a large scale. This cannot be faked.

Such a scene, not to mention that Jing Shaokui was the emperor's confidant, even if the emperor straightforwardly explained and explained to him, he would be afraid to do it.

"There really is such a lunatic in the world, and so many officials are trying to kill him. Isn't he worried that the emperor... is crossing the river and burning the bridge?"

Xu Yun clapped his hands and said, "Yes, and Zhongcheng, you are also facing a dangerous situation, so the six ministers of Nanjing will definitely come to you. Either side with them, or side with Liu Jin. This choice may not be easy."

Jing Shaokui blinked his eyes, "I stand for the Emperor! Did you hear that Mr. Wang Ge and Mr. Yang Ge also strongly remonstrated with the Emperor, saying that Mr. Zhang Ge excluded dissidents and framed Zhongliang. What did the Emperor do?"

Xu Yun knew about this, and the emperor asked: Are there indeed problems with those officials?
Now Jing Shaokui can also ask this question.

"Liu Jin killed a lot of people, but no matter who comes, let's discuss whether the person they care about has violated the will of the court. If not, it doesn't hurt to argue with Liu Jin."

Xu Yun nodded, "Zhong Cheng's move is great, let's stand on the emperor's side! This way we can be invincible!"

"Well, also, I have noticed that Liu Jin can't do anything. He can manipulate people's hearts and has the courage to kill people. But when he really wants to do something, he is still a little bit behind." Jing Shaokui made arrangements, "Kill people and kill people." In essence, the official still wants to push the matter forward. He killed the county magistrate, but did not come to discuss with me about his successor. He only wanted to kill people for fun. But how can a county do this without a chief official? Although the others are afraid of his power, they will not I dare to delay, but the county magistrate is not an easy official to be appointed. It is always not good to delay for a long time. It must be replaced by a suitable person.

I am the governor of Yingtian, and I can also do this. He is killing people and arresting people in the front. We can control him as little as possible. We only care about the back.Therefore, when people from the governor's yamen go out, they only ask about the progress of Qingtian's measurement. If there are practical difficulties in various places, those who can solve them will help solve them.This is acting in accordance with the imperial edict and is a truly invincible place! "

Xu Yun was determined. No wonder the governor looked calm. It turned out that he had already made a plan in his mind.

"Okay! This is what I will do!"

……

……

As governor Jing Shaokui was 'relaxed', ignoring the chaos and acting with high regard for the imperial edict.

But the officials of the Six Departments of Nanjing were indeed in chaos.

Most of these people don't have any saints, but Li Dongyang has cultivated these guys in Nanjing for so many years, and all of them feel that they are disciples of saints.

Liu Jin behaves like this as if all of them are weaklings.

But even a few who are relatively timid will forget their fear as long as there are more people. After all, the law does not punish the crowd. They do not believe that Liu Jin can kill all the officials in Nanjing.

When the emperor was here last year, civil servants led by Xie Tizhong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Luo Zhongyuan, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Shi Binxian, the minister of the household ministry, had opposed the emperor.

But Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to pay attention to them.

These guys are not even afraid of the emperor. Now that there is such a violent eunuch disaster in the court, how can they just sit idly by and ignore it.

So there was no need for anyone to gather together. They quickly got together, said a few passionate words, and then headed towards the palace in groups.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the eunuch guarding the gate had never seen such a dark and dense group of people coming at the same time, and his legs became weak with fear.

"Quick, go and report to Eunuch Liu!"

Inside the palace.

Zhang Yong also came anxiously, "Brother Liu, it's not that my younger brother told you that you have just been exempted from guarding the mausoleum, and now you are acting so fiercely! My people have secretly monitored the Nanjing Liubu Hall officials, and nearly a hundred officials, big and small, are going to report to you." The Emperor is writing a memorial to impeach you! You are absolutely wrong in this matter!"

To say that Liu Jin didn't panic was not entirely true, but he could only stay calm.

"Zhang Yong, have you ever thought about it, brother, if I didn't act so fiercely, I would go back to guard the mausoleum?"

"what?"

"The Qingtian incident is a great thing. I didn't understand why so many people were against it at first. But looking at the faces behind these people these days, our family understands that they are all big landowners! They are against the emperor!"

Zhang Yong was stunned, "You... you didn't understand before, so you just plunged into this muddy water?!"

Liu Jin waved his hand, "It didn't matter before." Historically, Liu Jin was killed because he carried out the liquidation of military settlements, which aroused too much opposition.

But as to why he thought of cleaning up the military villages, there was actually no very special reason.

It must be said that it was because he had an original intention and wanted to do something after gaining power.

That's what I'm afraid of. A thoroughly evil eunuch doesn't want to be greedy for money and power, but suddenly wants to do something serious. It's really ridiculous to say it.So some civil servants who relied on him told him that the Ming Dynasty's border army's farming was a big problem.

When he heard it, his eyes lit up. He didn't study it in detail at all, and his knowledge didn't allow it. He just thought about the benefits after doing it, and never thought about how much trouble this matter would cause.

Anyway, if you catch a country's problem, then deal with it.

So they sent people to Ningxia to do exactly this.

In fact, he himself doesn't quite understand how many people he has offended. To put it bluntly, he is reckless.

Zhang Yongdu understood one thing and said, "How could it not be important? Qingtian is involved in a wide range of things, and you act so fiercely, offending too many people!"

Liu Jin still looked reckless, "If you don't offend them, you have to offend the emperor. Which one do you think is better? And to be honest with you, even if I die for this matter, then just die. I... don't want to come back. When I arrived in Zhongdu, I didn’t want the emperor to resent me all the time. I was wrong back then, but you and I both watched the emperor grow up, and we would always protect the emperor regardless of everything. This is different from that You Zhi! "

Speaking of this, he couldn't hide his emotions.

Zhang Yongyong didn’t know what to say.

"...If I die, brother, you have to tell the Emperor that although this old slave Liu Jin has shortcomings, he has never calculated against the Emperor and has never really done anything that is sorry to the Emperor. I hope that the Emperor will no longer hold grudges."

Zhang Yong sniffed, he had emotional resonance.

"In this case, you can't die! You have to leave room for the emperor to protect you, and you can't force the emperor to have no choice! It's even difficult for you to even see the emperor!"

This last half sentence shook Liu Jin a little.

At this moment, a voice came from outside, and they were quite panicked and even stumbled while walking, "Eunuch Liu is in trouble! Outside the Meridian Gate, nearly a hundred foreign officials came. They, they said... said... "

"say what?"

"I dare not speak!"

Liu Jin could guess it himself. He glanced at Zhang Yong calmly and said, "If the emperor kills me, I will never survive. If you don't kill me, I will never die. From Zhongzhong to Nanjing, I am convinced of this now." .”

After saying this, he walked out.

Zhang Yongze shouted anxiously, "Big brother! You have to calm down!"

One of them walked in front and the other shouted from behind.

"I'm calm, you're the one who's not calm now."

"Then what are you going to do now? These people are not ordinary people. You can't kill them all, right?"

"I never meant to kill them all, at least not yet."

In real history, Emperor Jiajing did it to kill dozens of ministers on the spot, but he was the emperor.

Liu Jin is still a little worse, but although he is not going to kill people now, he is going to kill people.

He wanted to remember who they were.

He was a garrison eunuch in Nanjing, and these people were officials who stayed in the capital.

The days to come are still long.

He himself has a bad reputation, his life is corrupt, and he is ruthless. Everyone knows this, even the emperor knows it.

But the foreign ministers all have good reputations, but is this really the case?
When Liu Jin goes out now, he must remember them and keep an eye on them. He will not kill them now, but he will slowly dig out their past and reveal their true colors for the emperor and the world to see.

He is not afraid of making this enmity. As for stopping him from promoting the land clearing order, he dares to kill him.

Such momentum scared Zhang Yong to the point of trembling, and he directly stopped the person, "Brother, you can't kill someone on impulse! Remember, if you poke such a big hole, it means that the emperor wants to protect you. It can’t be saved!”

"I know, you and I don't need to talk too much. In the words of civil servants, this is called a friend in need." Liu Jin said this sincerely, "I promise you not to kill these civil servants."

"Okay, that's good."

"I'm going to beat them!"

Zhang Yong almost fainted, "Ah? What?!"

Liu Jin thought that as long as they had the guts to collide with Gong Jing, he would have the guts to let people do it, as long as they didn't kill anyone.In the final analysis, this group of people's opposition to themselves is not fundamentally hard-core. After all, they have the holy purpose of the Qingtian Order under Heaven.
