Chapter 496 The Emperor Is Just You
And among them!
Li Dongyang, the chief minister of the cabinet who was supposed to be the pillar of the empire, only nodded his head.

There is absolutely no power to actually participate!
The arrogance of Liu Jin and other eunuchs can be imagined.

Liu Jin is a very greedy one.

He used his power to embezzle...

But he was very measured. While he was greedy, he did not forget to dismount the emperor.

There is never a shortage of benefits for the emperor, so that the emperor can benefit from it and can enjoy what he wants to his heart's content.

Therefore, the emperor turned a blind eye to his corruption.

In order to be more greedy for ink, Liu Jin persuaded Ming Wuzong to order all provinces to lose all their treasuries to the capital.

"In this way, our imperial court will have a strong bank, and it will be able to attack quickly and quickly in the face of any rebellion."

Liu Jin said her reasons in this way.

When Zhu Houzhao heard it, he thought it made sense.

So let Liu Jin do it!
And Liu Jin...

Naturally, a large amount of silver can be embezzled from it.

not only…

He also openly accepted/extorted bribes. Officials from all over the country had to hand over "meeting gifts" to him when they came to Beijing for the Hajj.

It costs a thousand taels of silver at every turn, and some are as high as 5000 taels!

If you don't give...

That capital is the cemetery!
All officials, big and small, know how vicious Liu Jin's methods are.

therefore!

Don't dare to violate anything at all.

Even high-ranking officials and dignitaries like cabinet ministers were killed by Liu Jin, and denounced when they said they were belittled.

How dare other small officials resist.

In order to pay bribes, some people had to borrow money from rich men in the capital, which was called "Beijing debt" at that time.

Countless families have been destroyed because of this debt.

Whenever an official is promoted to a post, he must be given a gift when he returns to Beijing to report on his work, and it is impossible to get a promotion without giving a gift.

If you don't give gifts after being promoted, you will be retaliated by him.

also…

In order to make better money...

He also sent cronies to work in local areas to raise money for them.

The arrogance of his arrogance...

You can find any reason to dismiss the senior officials in the capital.

and!

Feel free to give a lot of power to those around you.

He appointed Yang Bin, the chieftain of Bozhou, as the inspector of Sichuan, and ordered the husband-in-law of the slave to supervise the study of politics in Shandong.

Turned the entire court into a hall of his words.

No one from princes, ministers, and relatives dared to stand against him. Every time he met Liu Jin in private, they all bowed down one after another.

It seems that he has become the emperor in private, so majestic!

All the subjects' performances must be submitted to Liu Jin for inspection.

He feels that there are no mistakes before submitting.

and…

In the memorials, he cannot be called by his name, and must be replaced by Eunuch Liu.

If anyone offends...

The officials of the entire department system had to kneel and kowtow to apologize to him before they could pass.

otherwise…

Liu Jin will be crazily retaliated against.

He once sent envoys to inspect the border warehouses, and then took the opportunity to retaliate against his political enemies, settle the old and new grudges together, arrest them all in prison, and pay the border food as a fine.

If they cannot make up all of them, their wives and daughters will be detained instead.

When he inspected the salt tax, if he disagreed with him, he beat Wang Run, the salt censor, with a cane. No one at the scene dared to stop him and speak up for him.

They were all afraid that Liu Jin would implicate him and cause him to go bankrupt!
Liu Jin also arrested former salt transport envoy Ning Ju, Yang Qi and others. These were all people who had offended him. Naturally, he would not let these people go by taking advantage of this opportunity.

When procuring the Neijia font library, he took the opportunity to demote more than 100 people including Shangshu Wang Zuo and others.

Then install your own people and occupy important positions!

In order to better punish officials and deter political opponents, he created his own method of punishing people who had disobeyed him.

Many people lost their families because of this!
It can be said…

Liu Jin has already covered the sky with one hand!
"Liu Jin, let you be the emperor. I don't think it's necessary for me to continue to occupy this position."

Outside the light curtain...

Looking at this scene, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help jokingly said.

According to Liu Jin's current operation...

Why does Zhu Houzhao need to be the emperor?

Simply forget about the Zen position.

There is no need for him at all, Liu Jin has already helped him manage the court.

Turned the world into his Liu Jin's world.

Not his Zhu Houzhao's Zhu family world!

Hearing this...

If it was Liu Jin from before, he would naturally not dare to say anything.

but now…

When I see my future achievements so high...

He no longer has so many scruples.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, if you are really willing to give it, the minister can still reluctantly accept it."

Anyway, in the end it's all dead...

Liu Jin thinks...

It is also a very good thing to have a mouthful before death.

Anyway, for now...

Zhu Houzhao won't do anything to him!
"you…"

Zhu Houzhao wanted to vomit blood. He thought he was mocking Liu Jin, who dared not speak at all.

The result was unexpected...

Liu Jin really dared to commit the following offenses, accepting his words, walking his way, leaving him nowhere to go.

This makes him very embarrassed!

But why Liu Jin can't be killed just yet...

In this case…

Where is his majesty as an emperor?
After that...

Can Zhu Houzhao become a joke?
Then how to control the ministers.

"Hahaha, you are really the one who dares to speak, and the one who dares to answer."

Li Shimin laughed, looked at Liu Jin and said appreciatively, "Aside from other things, I admire you for your courage!"

"Dare to promise that you can be the emperor, well, it's a character."

Liu Jin heard the words...

Answer neither humble nor overbearing: "Thank you, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, for your appreciation."

When Liu Bang and the first emperor saw this, they couldn't help shaking their heads, "You really have a lot of ambition, but unfortunately, you are a bit daydreaming, forgetting where your power comes from."

If it is the Tang Dynasty, and even the eunuchs of the Song Dynasty can control the emperor's abolition and establishment after they can gain power.

Then they still believe...

But for the famous eunuch, forget it.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the country, he had the foresight to limit everyone's power.

in…

The power of the eunuchs is even more so.

Through the efforts of several generations of emperors, eunuchs can indeed become quite beautiful.

but!

All this power comes from not themselves.

It came from the emperor who supported them behind them.

therefore!

No matter how powerful and powerful the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were, they had to be closely attached to the emperor.

leave the emperor...

The power of eunuchs is like a castle in the air, which will collapse in an instant.

at this point…

Of course Liu Jin knew!

therefore…

He just snorted coldly after hearing the words of Emperor Shihuang and Liu Bang.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was quite unhappy with Liu Jin being so arrogant.

"Hmph, let you be the emperor, do you think you have the life of an emperor?"

He pointed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "He is the emperor's golden words, and his words are constitutional. You are just a little eunuch, what qualifications do you have to answer the words?"

"It's just a servant, and you want to get your hands on the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme?"

"Take a long look. From ancient times to modern times, have there been any eunuchs who ascended to the throne?"

this word...

Liu Jin was silent.
