The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 157 Chang Feng, Get rid of Liu Ji for me ([-]-character chapter)
Qian Ning echoed: "That's right, Master Chang, silver notes are much harder to find than silver ingots. In the past, when we ransacked our homes, we searched for stolen silver according to the old method of searching for 'Eight Tibetans'."

"Now when we ransack the house, we have to focus on torture and torture the prisoner. Force the prisoner to confess where the money is hidden."

"If you meet an official who commits suicide in fear of crime, you will lose your strength if you ransack your home!"

Chang Feng said: "There is no way. Everything is changing, and we have to change with it."

In fact, Chang Feng is well aware that the prevalence of bank notes not only makes it easier for corrupt officials to offer and accept bribes.When Qian Ning ransacked the house, it was much more convenient for him to steal dirty money without permission.

But when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples.

Channing was the stand-in he single-handedly picked up.He can't give up easily.

Besides, although Qian Ning is greedy, there is a limit to greed.For example, if he copied out 1 taels of dirty silver, he would retain at most 500 taels.

Chang Feng instructed: "Everyone, the crown prince's canonization ceremony will be held in seven days. Our Northern Town Governor is responsible for both guards and guards of honor. There can be no mistakes in this matter!"

"Xu Guangzuo, you are in charge of the ceremonial guard, so that those big Han generals cheer up. The other ceremonial utensils must be wiped so that they can reflect the figure."

"Qian Ning, you are in charge of the guarding. You can discuss this matter with Dugong Qian."

Xiao Jing was getting old and lacked energy.This year, he took the initiative to propose to Emperor Hongzhi that he resign from his part-time job as the governor of the East Factory and take charge of the palm seal.

Chief Bingbi Qian Neng replaced Xiao Jing as the governor of the East Factory, supervising Jin Yiwei.

Chang Feng has always been on good terms with Qian Neng, Qian Neng became his immediate boss, and he is even more comfortable among the factory guards.

Say Cao Cao, the beautiful woman arrives.

Money can come in.Everyone hurriedly cupped their hands: "I have seen Duke Du."

Qian Neng said: "That's all. Let's all get up. Chang Feng, have you arranged the guards and guards of honor for the crown prince's canonization ceremony?"

Chang Feng replied: "Report to Duke Du, everything has been properly arranged."

Qian Neng said with a smile: "I don't worry about your work. Alright, everyone, let's go to work!"

After everyone left, Qian Neng said to Chang Feng worriedly: "The health of Wang Butang from the Ministry of Officials is not very good recently."

Wang Shu, the fierce man from the sky, is 77 years old. He has devoted himself to exhaustion in the past two years, and his body is exhausted.It is no longer the courage of Fengtianmen to beat Jinyiwei.

Wang Shu used to hang up Qian Neng and beat him up in Yunnan.Qian Neng suffers from Stockholm Syndrome, and regards Wang Shu as his best friend, respecting and fearing him at the same time.

Chang Feng said: "It's not that the emperor sent an imperial doctor."

Qian Neng complained: "The trash in the Tai Hospital, what else would they do besides prescribing some peaceful licorice medicine?"

"I changed a prescription for Wang Butang, and it is said to be very effective. But the medicine primer is a four-dimensional eyeball."

"Can you send someone capable to search for medicine along the Yangtze River?"

Qian can hold the virtuous minister Wang Shuke's heart.For the sake of Wang Shu's health, he did not hesitate to use the emperor's servants to go out of Beijing to find medicine.

Chang Feng said: "I'll send deputy Qianhu Shi Wenyi to go! Shi Wenyi has always been able to handle affairs. He will definitely find Yao Yin as soon as possible."

Qian Neng nodded: "In addition, I heard that some mediocre officials who were dismissed by Wang Butang made slanderous remarks about him?"

Chang Feng replied: "Our eyes and ears detected five or six."

Qian Neng sneered: "It's the emperor's benevolence, who strictly ordered our factory guards not to kill people lightly. Otherwise, I would have squeezed out the yolks of those people and fed them to flies!"

"You send some capable men to beat them up secretly! Remember, you must smack them twenty times!"

"Old Wang's department devoted himself to our Daming and was exhausted. How dare they spread rumors and slander them! It's against them!"

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "This subordinate will definitely handle this matter well."

Qian Neng said with a smile: "Come on. I'm going back to Dongchang first! Oh yes, I'll take a rest tomorrow. You remember to let your old Taishan come to my outer house to play hemp hanging."

Liu Bingyi was promoted to the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites of Nanjing two years ago, but he has been complaining of illness and has not fulfilled his post.He played with Qian Neng, and he was an iron hook.

Chang Feng had a troubled expression: "Duke, your card skills are as good as a god. I have to ask my old Taishan to bring more money. I'm afraid you will kill me again this time!"

Qian Neng laughed from ear to ear: "You are the only bastard who can talk!"

Inside Kunning Palace.

A group of wives are presenting the congratulatory gift of the eldest son of the emperor to the crown prince to Empress Zhang.

Mrs. Cheng Guogong opened a box, and inside was a string of pearls. The pearls were crystal clear, and they were rare treasures at first glance.

Mrs. Cheng Guogong said with a smile: "My empress, this string of pearls was captured by the ancestor Zhu Neng of my concubine's family when he conquered Annan."

"Originally, the ancestors did not dare to keep such out-of-control objects privately, so they paid tribute to Yingtian."

"The Emperor Taizong was extra merciful and decreed to give the pearl to the ancestor."

"Only such a precious treasure is worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Although Zhu Houzhao has not yet been canonized as a prince.But the wives still called him "His Royal Highness".Anyway, it's a certainty, they said that to please Queen Zhang.

Empress Zhang nodded slightly, and said politely: "You are bothering."

The wife of Ye Qi, Minister of the Household Department, took out a pair of Baishou characters.Each "shou" character uses a different brushwork.

Mrs. Ye said: "Empress, this is the concubine's husband who has written the word "Hundred Shou" for a whole hundred days. Every time I write a character for "Shou", the concubine has to recite the "Blessing and Longevity Sutra" for one night."

"Today, the word Baishou is finally completed. It is specially dedicated to His Royal Highness. May His Royal Highness have a long life and a long life."

Empress Zhang still said politely: "Well, you have bothered too, so put it away."

The wives either presented rare treasures or gifts with profound meanings.

It was Liu Xiaoyan's turn.Liu Xiaoyan was a little embarrassed.The gift she had prepared was too much to take out.

Liu Xiaoyan opened a brocade box, and inside the brocade box was a child's bellyband: "Empress, this is the bellyband made by my concubine."

Unexpectedly, Queen Zhang is like a treasure!
Empress Zhang hurriedly ordered Li Guang who was standing beside her: "Hurry up and take it to me."

Li Guang took the brocade box and brought it in front of Queen Zhang.

Empress Zhang stroked the apron with her hand, her eyes narrowed into a line of laughter: "Sister Yi's female red hair is exquisite. This apron is so beautifully embroidered."

"I remember, when your family was a hundred days old, I also gave him a bellyband embroidered by myself."

"Li Guang, Zhao'er is taking an afternoon nap in the back hall. You give the bellyband to the servants in the back hall, and ask them to change it for him when Zhao'er wakes up."

Li Guang led the order with the brocade box in his apron.

Empress Zhang said with a smile: "Everyone presenting gifts today is very friendly. But I want to say that the most expensive gift is the apron from Chang Gong."

Now Chang Feng is a fourth-rank military officer, Liu Xiaoyan follows her husband, and is a fourth-rank imperial servant.

All the ladies cast envious eyes on Liu Xiaoyan.

Many people are jealous: Heck, the rare treasures we have painstakingly selected are not as good as a bellyband that someone Chang Gong embroidered casually.

The Empress Dowager treats this righteous sister very favorably!
In the harem, there are no other concubines except Queen Zhang.Empress Zhang was very lonely, and always regarded Liu Xiaoyan as her own sister.

Liu Xiaoyan said humbly: "The empress is too famous. It's just a vulgar thing, I can't take it out."

Empress Zhang said: "Gifts don't depend on their importance. They depend on their friendship. Sister Yi's gift, to me, friendship is stronger than gold and cleaner than jade."

"Your husband is a courtier who is valued by the emperor. When Zhao'er and your family grow up strong, we will continue the good story of the monarch and his ministers getting to know each other!"

"Zhao'er is still young. When he leaves the pavilion to study, let Zhuang Zhuang enter the palace to be his companion!"

The emperor has a golden mouth and jade teeth, and so does the queen.These few words of Queen Zhang directly gave Chang Ponu a better future than his peers!
The prince will be the emperor in the future!The prince's childhood companion will definitely appear in the future!
Reading companion is an honorary title that does not count as an official position, but it has a brighter future than the number one scholar on the gold list.

Liu Xiaoyan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "This concubine is on behalf of Xiaogou, thank you, Empress Empress, for your kindness."

The eyes of all the wives turned green with envy and jealousy!

Seven days later, the ceremony of establishing a reserve was successfully concluded.Zhu Houzhao, who just turned one year old, officially became the heir apparent of Ming Dynasty.

The largest player in Ming Dynasty is officially launched.

Morning the next day.

As usual, Chang Feng, holding a wat board, came to Fengtianmen with the military officer class.

Emperor Hongzhi took his seat, and the morning court began.

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Liu Qing."

Liu Ji left the shift: "The minister is here."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Zhao'er has become the crown prince now. The Zhang family has made great contributions. If the Zhang family hadn't raised a virtuous and virtuous queen, how could I have a smart crown prince?"

"Now Zhang Luan, the patriarch of the state, has been conferred the title of Marquis of Shouning. The two uncles of the state have no titles."

"I have decided to make Zhang Heling the Boss of Shouning and make Zhang Yanling the Boss of Jianchang."

Emperor Hongzhi really had nothing to say about the Zhang family, he was so spoiled by heaven.

In the past two years, Mr. Liu Ji of Mianhua Pavilion has always claimed to be able to speak out and speak out.Because Emperor Hongzhi liked courtiers who could speak out and speak out.Those who are good at the top will be worse at the bottom.

After hearing what Emperor Hongzhi said, Liu Ji said, "Report to the Emperor, absolutely not!"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Oh? Why not?"

Liu Jidao: "The children of the Empress Dowager's family have not been knighted yet. You should confer titles on the children of the Empress Dowager's family first, and then the children of the Empress Dowager's family."

After hearing this, Chang Feng in the military officer class thought to himself: Liu Mianmian, Liu Mianmian, the older you are, the more confused you are!
Do you think you are able to speak out?You are courting death!
The emperor is generous and benevolent, if it is about other political matters, you can argue with the emperor at the top of your voice in front of civil and military officials.

Only the Zhang family is the untouchable Ni Lin of the emperor!

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Liu Ji and remained silent.

Liu Ji made the biggest mistake in his life!It doesn't matter if you pretend to be able to speak out, why are you touching the tiger's butt?

Emperor Hongzhi has been on the throne for six years and has already secured the dragon chair.The reputation of the virtuous king and the holy master is all over the world.

He no longer needs a stand-in to take the scolding for him.Because no one will scold him.

Emperor Hongzhi said in his heart: Liu Ji, Liu Ji, you have been the chief assistant for six years.It's time to give up the chair and give it to someone who is really capable.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi said calmly, "Oh, let's discuss this matter later."

After the court was over, Xiao Jing quickly caught up with Chang Feng.

Xiao Jingdao: "Chang Zhen Fu envoy stays behind, the emperor has summoned you."

Chang Feng followed Xiao Jing to the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi was flipping through the "Records of Xianzong" that Li Dongyang was in charge of editing and writing.

Chang Feng knelt down and kowtowed: "I, Chang Feng, kowtow to the emperor."

Emperor Hongzhi didn't look up, but only said: "Is there a private file of the chief assistant in Jinyiwei?"

Chang Feng replied: "Yes. I understand. I will do it now."

Emperor Hongzhi raised his head and looked at Chang Feng with a smile: "What do you understand?"

Chang Feng replied tactfully: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push forward the front waves. If the front waves don't recede, how can the back waves show their majesty? The emperor asked his ministers to remind Liu Shoufu."

Emperor Hongzhi said with emotion: "Chang Feng, Chang Feng, you are like a roundworm in my stomach now."

Chang Feng secretly laughed in his heart: Your Majesty, what you said was not a good thing.It's like I'm eating your shit in your stomach every day.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "That's all. You go to work. Within two or three days, I want a result."

Chang Feng returned to Jinyiwei and immediately entered the stall.

He ordered the senior deputy Qianhu who was in charge of the archives: "Find out all the private files of the chief assistant Liu Ji."

Deputy Gao Qianhu asked, "Master Chang, what year are you looking for?"

Chang Feng replied: "All of them."

Deputy Gao Qianhu said: "Master Chang, then you have to wait for a moment. Liu Ji has too many private files!"

The mistakes made by officials are all recorded in private files.

Liu Mianmian was obviously not an upright and virtuous official.There are as many as twenty volumes of his private files.Stack up to one person high.

Others are worth their lives for their works, but Liu Ji is worth their lives for their bad deeds.

It took a long time for Deputy Gao Qianhu to find all of Liu Ji's private files.

that night.

Liu Ji, 66, is sitting in his study.He has some regrets.

He didn't know what happened this morning, but he really regarded himself as an admonisher.In a moment of fever, he actually opposed Emperor Hongzhi's making the uncles of the two small countries uncles.

Liu Ji rubbed his temples, and said to himself: "Why don't you change your mind in the morning tomorrow. Just say that the two uncles of the country have made outstanding achievements during their service in Jinyiwei, and they should be named uncles."

Liu Mianmian's face was as thick as the city wall of Deshengmen.He has no psychological burden to do things that go back and forth.

At this moment, the housekeeper reported: "Master, Beizhen Fushi Changfeng is asking to see you."

Liu Ji's complexion changed: "Qian Ning didn't follow, did he?"

Beijing officials now have a consensus.Not afraid of Jin Yiwei coming to the door, but afraid of Qian Ning among the Jin Yiwei who came to the door.

Nothing good will happen if Channing comes to the door.

The housekeeper replied: "Chang Zhenfu envoy came alone."

Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay. I'll meet him in the living room."

Not long after, Liu Ji came to the living room.

Liu Ji said with a smile: "Changzhen Fushi is a rare visitor. Come and serve good tea."

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Your official has met Mr. Liu Ge."

Liu Ji said: "Hurry up and get rid of the courtesy. We are old acquaintances, and we have forgotten the years, so there is no need to be more polite."

Liu Ji found a wooden box beside Chang Feng.

He thought to himself: Could it be that Chang Feng asked me for something and came to give me a gift?cough!This iron fool.Don't you know that nowadays official gifts are all silver notes?

What is he doing with such a big box?
Seeing Liu Ji's eyes resting on the wooden box, Chang Feng said, "I came to your residence today because I have a gift for Mr. Liu Ge."

Liu Ji smiled and said: "We are very nice. If you have something to do for me, just ask. Why be so vulgar? If there is silver in the box, you should take it back quickly."

Chang Feng opened the wooden box.

Liu Ji was puzzled.I saw that the wooden box was full of documents.

He thought to himself: Is it an isolated book?cough.On the surface, I like orphaned books, but that's just for others to read.Appears to be elegant and knowledgeable.

What I really like is silver!
Chang Feng said: "Old Liu Ge, please take a look."

After speaking, he picked up a booklet and handed it to Liu Ji.

After Liu Ji opened it, his eyes widened like copper bells!
He walked to the wooden box and carefully read every booklet.

Then he said: "Is this the official private file recorded by Jin Yiwei?"

Chang Feng nodded: "Exactly."

Liu Jidao: "You Jinyiwei are really supernatural. Even when I was 12 years old, I peeped at the widow next door taking a bath, and the widow saw it through. Did the widow take advantage of the situation and let me sleep with her?"

"How did you find out?"

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "Jin Yiwei always collects the secrets of officials carefully. Especially the cabinet ministers like Mr. Liu Ge."

"The widow has been dead for many years. But some of your neighbors back then lived long and are still alive. Jin Yiwei will go and ask them."

Among these Liu Ji's private files, there are incidents of accepting bribes, using despicable methods to eliminate dissidents, and flattering Concubine Wan Gui. Basically, all the black information collected since he became an official!
Liu Ji asked: "What do you mean by bringing me your private files tonight?"

Chang Feng said: "If I remember correctly, you have been an orthodox Jinshi for 13 years. You have been an official for 44 years."

"You have worked so hard in office, you have been sick from overwork, you have broken your body, and you are weak and sick."

"Why don't you hand over the handbook of returning to your hometown, and go back to your hometown to enjoy the rest of your life? The emperor will definitely decree to treat you generously based on your past achievements, so that you can return to your hometown in good clothes and live a prosperous life."

Liu Ji questioned Chang Feng: "I didn't offend you, did I?"

Chang Feng called Liu Ji: "You have never offended the lower officials. The lower officials are from the fourth rank, even if they have the guts to swallow the sky, they dare not threaten the current court to become an official."

Liu Ji sat down on the chair in despair: "Understood. It's what the emperor meant, right?"

Chang Feng responded silently.Silence is the default.

Liu Ji asked: "Is there no room for maneuver?"

Chang Feng persuaded Liu Ji: "Mr. Liu Ge, you have been the chief assistant for six years. You have already mastered the monstrous power, and you will have no regrets in this life. Why covet the chair of the chief minister of the cabinet and let yourself die unhappily?"

"I said a few words that went too far. If you write a memorial to resign tonight, I will leave these private files to you and burn them."

"If you are greedy for the chair of the chief minister of the cabinet, you will not resign. These private files will spread all over Gyeonggi within a day!"

"At that time, not only will you not be able to keep your official hat, but you will also lose your reputation. Why bother?"

This is already a blatant threat.

Liu Ji looked up to the sky and sighed: "Oh! It's a beautiful thing for leaves to return to their roots and clothes to return to their hometowns."

Chang Feng smiled and said, "That's right! It's good to take things lightly. I'll grind them for you. You can write your resignation memorial now!"

According to historical records: five years ago, the emperor wanted to make his younger brother an earl, and he ordered Ji to write an edict.The emperor was displeased, so he sent his ministers to his home and satirized him to retire from office.

Emperor Hongzhi was kind to Liu Ji.When Zhun Liu Ji returned home, he used a post station carriage and horse.Retain the original salary and support.

Power is the most precious panacea in the world.

From ancient times to the present, when officials are in office, even in their seventies and eighties, they are full of energy and their eyes are like torches.

Once you lose your official position, you will immediately become old, full of oldness, and full of illnesses.

This is the case with Liu Ji.

He died of illness in his hometown Boye County in the second year after losing his official position.

Emperor Hongzhi was also kind to this substitute, and sent his internal officials to give sacrifices, and also gave him the title of "Taishi" and the posthumous title of "Wenmu".

The elder Ge, the thickest-skinned man in the Chenghua and Hongzhi dynasties, ended his curtain call in the history books.
