The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 346 Qiu Yue Feng Bo

Fraud requires not only witnesses and letters, but also preferably physical evidence.

Chang Feng took You Jingwu and Basha and spent a day searching the Anhua Palace.

Qiu Yue's servants were generous enough to leave one thousand eight hundred taels of silver and fifty taels of gold to the palace.

Chang Feng estimated that Qiu Yue and the others took away at least a million dollars of silver from the Anhua Palace. Because after King Anhua raised his army, he seized the treasury of the four prefectures and twenty-one counties.

That fifty taels of gold is a gold ingot.

Chang Feng and You Jingwu took the gold ingot to find Zhang Xiangxiang, the most famous goldsmith in Anhua City.

Seeing the two of them wearing official clothes, Xiang Xiangzhang quickly raised his hands and asked, "What do you two adults want?"

Chang Feng asked: "Can you cast gold medals here?"

"You two adults are joking. Gold medals are much easier to make than jewelry! If my gold shop can't even make gold medals, then what's the use of it?"

"I wonder what kind of gold medal you two want to cast? To live longer than Nanshan? To live a hundred years?"

Chang Feng said: "None of them. I'll let you cast a gold medal."

After speaking, Chang Feng took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "Just follow the words on this paper and cast it. The pattern should have dragons and tigers."

Yan Shengzhang looked at the piece of paper and saw that it read: "Given by Emperor Ming Dynasty, the gold medal was made by King Liu Jin of Jiangnan. May you live long and prosperous."

Chang Feng wanted to add new physical evidence to Liu Jin's involvement in the rebellion. The gold medal is the physical evidence!

Shi Zhizhang was confused: "There is a prince named Liu in the Ming Dynasty? This is the first time I have heard of it."

Since ancient times, money has attracted people's hearts. Chang Feng dispelled Zhang Xiang's doubts with a few words: "I'll give you fifty taels of gold. I only want a gold medal of twenty taels of gold. The rest will be used as your craft money."

According to the rules of the goldsmith shop, the wage for making gold jewelry is "1 in 40". That is to say, one-fortieth of the yellow quantity is taken as reward.

Chang Feng directly gave him thirty taels of gold. After so many years of working as a goldsmith, this was the first time that Xiang Feng had encountered such a good thing.

"It's done. Leave it with me! You two can pick it up tomorrow morning," said Zhang Xiangzhang.

Chang Feng threatened Xiang Zhang: "These thirty taels of gold are not only wages, but also hush money. If even a word of this matter is leaked out, I will kill your whole family."

Shi Zhengzhang immediately said: "Yes, yes. I understand that I will definitely keep secret about matters entrusted to me by the government."

Chang Feng and You Jingwu left the goldsmith's shop.

You Jingwu said: "Father, you are cruel enough. You have even prepared the prince's gold medal given to Liu Jin by King Anhua."

Chang Feng said: "The way to frame someone up is to either not frame him or to frame him to death. You have to fabricate all the evidence."

You Jingwu was speechless: "Now Liu Jin is dead."

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "Wrong. He is not dead. Whether he dies or not depends on the emperor. If the emperor doesn't want him to die, don't say that Liu Jin is pretending to rebel. Even if he really rebels, he can still escape."

"We are now doing our best, and the outcome must be determined by fate. 'Heaven' is the emperor's heaven."

You Jingwu looked worried: "My foster father said that if things fail, wouldn't we be in an unexpected situation?"

Chang Feng nodded slightly: "In political battles in the court, you die and I die. In this case, if Liu Jin doesn't die, it will be me, Yang Yiqing, and Zhang Yong who will die."

The two returned to Anhua Palace.

Yang Yiqing came to Chang Feng: "I have made arrangements. Tomorrow we will return to Beijing and present the prisoners. I have ordered people to send out the victory report."

It is a full 2,200 miles from Anhua City to the capital.

The Ming Dynasty's eight hundred mile express is said to be eight hundred miles, but in fact it can only reach a speed of six hundred miles per day.

Four days later, the good news was delivered to the capital.

Leopard room.

Emperor Zhengde was studying the northwest map with Jiang Bin and trying to figure out the military strategy Yang Yiqing submitted before leaving Beijing.

Emperor Zhengde said: "Yang Yiqing is worthy of being a commander in charge of troops. The strategy of using troops is as solid as Mount Tai! However, I think it is still necessary to use a little risk in using troops."

Jiang Bin disagreed with Emperor Zhengde's point of view: "Father, our army has the advantage in this battle. We should win steadily! Taking risks is never a good idea."

Jiang Bin was twenty years older than Emperor Zhengde. However, he recognized Emperor Zhengde as his godfather and called him "Father Emperor".

At this moment, Liu Jin ran in happily: "Your Majesty, great victory! Great victory in the northwest!"

Emperor Zhengde frowned: "A great victory? How long has it been? Even if King Anhua's men were all pigs, Yang Yiqing wouldn't be able to catch tens of thousands of pigs so quickly!"

Liu Jin said with a smile: "This is the emperor's respect for heaven and love for the people, and he has received a blessing! It is indeed a great victory! King Anhua has been captured alive! He is on his way to the capital!"

After speaking, Liu Jin presented the memorial of victory and the list of meritorious service.

Yang Yiqing did not take credit for the victory at all, and clearly stated that the suppression of King Anhua's rebellion relied entirely on Qiu Yue's surprise attack on the enemy's nest.

Emperor Zhengde read the memorial carefully, and then laughed and said: "Haha, there are such brave generals in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty! They are like Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Zhao Zilong!"

"Qiu Yue is truly the most powerful general in the Zhengde Dynasty!"

Emperor Zhengde was actually wrong. A few years later, he would prove that Qiu Yue was not the most powerful general in the Zhengde Dynasty. The Great Emperor Zhengde is the one!

When Liu Jin heard that Emperor Zhengde admired Qiu Yue so much, he secretly thought: When Qiu Yue enters Beijing, I must find a way to win him over.

This impromptu idea would cost Liu Jin her life.

Emperor Zhengde said again: "Let the cabinet draw up the decree! Promote Qiu Yue to acting governor Qianshi, wear the seal of General Zhengxi, and serve as the commander-in-chief of Ningxia. Feng Xianning Bo! Specially enter the Ronglu doctor and Zhuguo. Grant hereditary title!"

Qiu Yue was just a small deputy general before King Anhua rebelled. Among the military generals of the Ming Dynasty, they may be ranked among one or two hundred, but they are not even counted.

Emperor Zhengde issued an imperial edict, which ranked Qiu Yue among the top ten generals.

Just the title of earl puts him among the nobles.

Emperor Zhengde added: "In addition, according to the decree, I will give Qiu Yue my Shang Fang Saber! When Qiu Yue arrives in the capital, I will go ten miles out of the capital to welcome him and have a look at the most powerful general of the Ming Dynasty!"

After speaking, Emperor Zhengde handed the memorandum to Jiang Bin: "Take a look."

Jiang Bin also sighed after reading: "I didn't expect it. Marshal Yang and the Shaanxi army were not used at all. Qiu Yue brought a hundred servants to put down the rebellion! My father is the first since Pangu founded the world. A promising monarch will naturally have good generals to assist him. I am invincible in the world!"

Jiang Bin made a rainbow fart, and Emperor Zhengde took advantage of it: "Haha. When Qiu Yue comes to Beijing, I will have a drink with him! In the future, when I sweep across the grassland and solve the Tatar crisis once and for all, I will make him the vanguard general! "

Liu Jin, who did not know how to die, was so happy when he saw Longyan, Emperor Zhengde, that he almost forgot about his forced rebellion against King Anhua. He said: "Your Majesty, I suggest you issue an order to order the people in the capital to hang red silk and red ribbons to celebrate the great victory in the northwest!"

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said: "Okay, okay! Such a beautiful victory should be celebrated by the whole world!"

Liu Jin came out of the Leopard Room and finished delivering the imperial edict. He told his confidant, "Please remember it for me and ask the accountant to prepare one hundred thousand taels of silver. I want to give it away."

The young eunuch was stunned: "You said, give it to someone? Is it to the eldest lady?"

Liu Jin is famous for being a big brave man who can't stop eating. Apart from giving money to his adopted daughter Chang Tian, ​​has he ever seen him give money to anyone else?

Liu Jin shook his head slightly: "No. It was given to General Qiu who returned from victory. I want to make good friends with such a fierce general."

I don’t know Liu Jin like Chang Feng. Two thousand miles away to the northwest.

Chang Feng and others rode horses to escort King Anhua and his family back to the capital.

Chang Feng smiled and said: "Master Qiu, after you enter the capital, someone will give you money and call you a brother."

Qiu Yue asked: "Who is it?" Chang Feng replied: "Liu Jin. If what I predict is correct, the Emperor will treat you as a distinguished guest. You will become the most famous person in front of the Emperor. Liu Jin will definitely try his best to win over you. .”

"He will give you at least one hundred thousand taels of silver. Or even more."

Qiu Yue cursed: "Fuck! Why are you giving me money for a castrated dog thing? If he hadn't sent two dogs to the northwest, how could King Anhua rebel?"

"I was lucky to win the battle and put down the rebellion. Previously, my subordinates mutinied and defected to King Anhua, and I almost lost my head! It was all Liu Jin's fault!"

"Look at me entering Beijing, why don't you slap this gelding twice in the ears!"

Chang Feng said: "If you want to seek revenge against Liu Jin, you must listen to me when you enter Beijing. I have a way to avenge your great revenge."

Qiu Yue nodded: "Our old enemy is a rough man. I have heard about the depth of the water in the capital, but I don't understand the twists and turns in the court. When I enter the capital, I will listen to Master Chang."

"We recaptured Helan Mountain with Marshal Weining Bo Wang. We are true brothers who fought side by side!"

Yang Yiqing interjected from the side: "Master Chang is an old sparrow in the court. There will definitely be only benefits and no harm in listening to him."

Qiu Yue suddenly asked: "Oh, by the way. I heard that there are many types of kilns in the capital. There are mothers, aunts, mothers, and aunts. They are much easier to play than the kilns in the northwest."

"When I enter Beijing this time, you have to lead me to play well."

Zhang Yong is a serious eunuch and does not understand the ways. He asked: "What is a mother and an aunt at the same time, a mother and a girl at the same time?"

Chang Feng explained: "He is talking about Yangzhou Shou Ma, Datong Aunt, West Lake Boat Lady, and Taishan Aunt. Come on, the most famous brothel in Beijing is called Yihong Tower."

"The Yihong Building contains 40% of the shares of my life-and-death brother Dingguo Gong Xu Guangzuo. When the time comes, I will let Xu Guangzuo take you around."

Qiu Yue said: "Then it's settled! Our old enemy will also indulge in meat this time and have a taste of what it's like to be a woman in the capital!"

Yang Yiqing coughed awkwardly.

Qiu Yue smiled and said, "Look, what am I doing in front of Mr. Yang?"

Qiu Yue is a very straightforward person and does not have much of a civil servant's frivolity. Chang Feng likes this person very much.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the conversation was very speculative.

Over in the capital, Liu Jin intended to make friends with Qiu Yue. But he didn't expect Qiu Yue to regard him as an enemy.

In the north of the city, Li Dongyang's mansion.

Li Dongyang was having a secret conversation with Yang Tinghe over tea.

Li Dongyang said: "The battle in the northwest has been won. My father-in-law's frame-up preparations should have been completed."

Yang Tinghe said: "I have contacted more than a dozen of my close disciples. At that time, they will hold a meeting to impeach Liu Jin for his involvement in the rebellion."

Over the years, batch after batch of civil servants participated in the impeachment of Liu Jin like moths flying to the flame. Their fate is often to be caught and thrown into prison, where life is worse than death.

But the civil servants who came one after another still showed unrelenting energy.

In the final analysis, it was Liu Jin who affected the interests of civil servants. And not just a little bit, but all of them!

Liu Jin has now begun to implement the three powers of guarding eunuchs to act as governors, and supervising eunuchs to act on behalf of governors.

If Liu Jin is allowed to cause trouble for a few more years, I am afraid that all provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties in the Ming Dynasty will be managed by internal eunuchs.

Eunuchs will completely replace civil servants and become the controllers of the empire.

The civil servants would be in trouble if they didn't risk Liu Jin's life.

Li Dongyang said: "No, don't let civil servants submit memorials to impeachment. Five years ago, Liu Jian and Xie Qian suppressed the emperor too hard. The emperor still has a heartfelt rejection of civil servants."

"The matter of participating in the impeachment of Liu Jin for treason must be left to my relative."

Yang Tinghe said: "Yes, that makes sense. Why do I think we are treating Mr. Chang as a sword this time?"

Li Dongyang waved his hand: "Chang Feng can't make anyone's sword. In other words, no one can use him as a sword. No one can stop whoever he wants to kill. No one can touch whoever he wants to protect."

At night. Princess Wanping's Mansion.

Chang Tian suddenly woke up from his sleep and screamed: "Ah!"

Huang Yuan stood up: "Tang'er, what's wrong with you?"

Chang Tian covered his chest: "I, I had a nightmare."

Huang Yuan asked: "What nightmare scares you like this?"

Chang Tian replied: "I dreamed that my foster father was tied to a big pillar, covered in blood. There was an executioner cutting his flesh with a knife."

Huang Yuandao: "Isn't it a good thing that the most traitorous eunuch in the imperial court has his body mutilated?"

Chang Tian said, "I don't care whether he is a traitor or a virtuous eunuch. To me, a foster father is a foster father!"

"I don't understand the big principles of you men. I only know that my adoptive father has taken care of me as his own daughter since I was a child."

"No, I have to give him a heads up tomorrow. This is not a good sign."

Huang Yuan said to Chang Tian with a serious face: "Don't give him any warning. Let me tell you, this time either your adoptive father dies or your biological eldest brother dies."

"Only one of them can survive in the court!"

Chang Tian said, "Is there no room for relaxation?"

Huang Yuandao: "Since ancient times, evil and evil have always been at odds with each other. You must not get involved in the affairs between your brother and Liu Jin. Not to mention the kindness of a woman. You saved Liu Jin's life once before, so you don't owe him anything."

After saying that, Huang Yuan stood up, put on his clothes, and walked to the desk.

There is a memorial on the desk. The content of the memorial is that Huang Yuan requested Emperor Zhengde to demote him to the rank of doctor of the Ministry of Rites. The reason is that his qualifications are too junior and he is not qualified for the position of Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of Rites.

Chang Ponu also prepared a memorial with the same content. Chang Ponu asked Emperor Zhengde to demote him from Shuntian Prefecture Yin to County Magistrate.

Chang Feng asked them to prepare these two memorials in advance.

The two of them were promoted too quickly by Liu Jin. He was able to retreat to advance and protect himself in this shocking political tide.

Changfu. Liu Xiaoyan and Madam Ninth were not idle either.

The two gathered the things Liu Jin had given them over the years into the backyard.

Madam Ninth poured kerosene on it. Liu Xiaoyan threw the torch up. Suddenly a fire broke out in the backyard.

Liu Xiaoyan lamented: "Oh, how can a fire burn away the love we have had for so many years?"

Madam Ninth said: "That's right. Why did the master and Eunuch Liu end up in a situation where fire and water are incompatible?"

Liu Xiaoyan said: "That's how the imperial court is. Today's friends may become enemies tomorrow. What's more, he and Liu Jin have known each other for twenty-five years."

"Back then I was so good that I could only wear a pair of pants. But now I want to tear out the other person's heart, liver, and lungs."

Madam Ninth said: "I hope God will bless the master and he will be safe this time and accomplish what he wants to accomplish."
