The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

Zhu Houzhao also heard what Tianjuan said. Seeing Liu Jin's trembling face, he couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "When did you become so timid? When did I ever say I wanted to kill you?"

"It was Tianjuan who said that. Tianjuan said that His Majesty would kill me." As Liu Jin spoke, he began to cry.
Zhengde looked at him with a half-smile: "So, tell me, should I kill you?"

"I don't want to die. I still want to serve Your Majesty." Liu Jin cried even harder, his tone full of grievance.
"So, what are you afraid of?"
"I am not afraid, I am just aggrieved. This scroll must have been written by a demon, and he is slandering me."

"Slander?" Zhengde chuckled. "But he was right about one thing. Didn't the Prince of Anhua rebel? I'm still trying to figure out who else will rebel."
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

"Alright, alright, get up, get up. I'm in the middle of a game, don't spoil my mood." Zhengde said, turning his attention to the cage in front of him.
"The winner will be decided soon. Once the winner is decided, we can talk about your business later."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Jin said, but his eyes could not help but look at Tianjuan again, his heart already filled with hatred.
Why did this scroll appear at such a good time? Why did it appear at such a time?

However, his method of diverting His Majesty's attention was correct.
Once your Majesty starts playing, he won't care whether it is a heavenly scroll or not. He will definitely play until he has a lot of fun.
But it would be great if there was some way to cover up this sky.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea: "Your Majesty, it's almost noon and the weather is hot. How about I ask someone to build a shed for you?"
"That's a good idea. Go ahead and do it. And get some chilled fruits."
"Here!"
Liu Jin listened and immediately prepared to tell his subordinates to do it.

But just as he turned around and was about to go out to make arrangements, he heard Lei Xiaomeng's voice faintly ringing out from the Heavenly Scroll.
[It is said that Liu Jin was tortured to death by slow slicing. Some say he was cut 3,200 times with knives, others say he was cut 3,357 times with knives...it took three full days to finish.]
[Even the flesh that was cut off from his body was snatched away by the people watching the execution and cooked and roasted and eaten with wine, which shows how much the people hated him.]

It took more than 3,000 cuts and three whole days.
Liu Jin staggered and almost fell to the ground.

[Why is Liu Jin so hated? ]
[In fact, from the beginning, Liu Jin was just an ordinary eunuch. He was still unsuccessful until he was in his forties. He made a mistake and was punished to guard the imperial mausoleum.]
[It was because he later became the eunuch beside the Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao, and thus rose to prominence and became a powerful eunuch, known as the Nine Thousand Years Old.]

"Nine Thousand Years Old?" Upon hearing this title, even Zhu Houzhao shifted his attention from the leopard slave in front of him and looked at the Heavenly Scroll.
Liu Jin knew something was wrong and knelt on the ground again: "Your Majesty, this is slander. I am innocent."
"Nine thousand years old, only one thousand years less than my ten thousand years old—" Zhu Houzhao stretched out the ending tone, "Not good, not good..."

"Your Majesty, you cannot listen to this scroll's nonsense. Let me accompany you back to the inner chamber. I will prepare other programs for you. Don't let this scroll pollute your ears."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Since it's not true, I'll just treat it as a play. Of course, everything in a play can't be true, right?"
Zhengde looked at Liu Jin with a smile: "Look how scared you are. I just think that if you die before me, you will never be able to entertain me again. This is not good, very bad!" Liu Jin finally felt relieved after hearing this, and said with tears and snot: "Your Majesty, you scared me to death."
"Hahaha! Okay, okay, there's no need for the pergola. Just help me fan it!"
"Yes." Liu Jin wiped the non-existent tears from his face, took out the folding fan he carried with him, and fanned Zhengde with it.

[Not only that, at that time, people called Zhengde the "sitting emperor" and Liu Jin the "standing emperor", which shows how powerful he was.]

Liu Jin: …
Liu Jin had originally let go of half of his worry, but then he got upset again.
He glanced at Zhengde secretly and saw that although he didn't say anything else and the smile on his face didn't fade, it was obvious that his attention had been completely attracted by the Heavenly Scroll. He couldn't help but feel even more uneasy.

[In fact, as I said before, heroes are not made in a day. Of course, ambitions are not formed in a day either. ]
[When Liu Jin was guarding the imperial mausoleum, he probably could not have imagined that he would become the "Nine Thousand Years Old" and "Emperor" with great power in the court when he was in his fifties.]
[And he probably could not have imagined that the emperor he relied on would have him executed by slow slicing only five years after ascending the throne.]

Five years? The fifth year of Zhengde?
Isn't it this year?
Liu Jin felt cold all over. He suddenly didn't dare to look at the emperor in front of him. He just held the folding fan tightly in his hand and fanned Zhu Houzhao from time to time.

[To be honest, Liu Jin really deserves to die. Ever since he became Zhu Houzhao's eunuch when he was still the crown prince, he has been trying every means to make Zhu Houzhao indulge in pleasure and lose his ambition. As a result, the only heir to the Ming Dynasty became the most dissolute man in the Ming Dynasty.]
[After Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he began to amass wealth and seized more than 300 imperial estates in one go under the pretext of being the emperor.]
[This made the cabinet ministers at the time extremely vigilant. So they wrote a letter to impeach the eight eunuchs headed by him.]
[However, Liu Jin got wind of the situation in advance and went to Emperor Zhengde to cry a day in advance. As a result, the impeachment failed. Instead, Liu Jin hated Liu Jian, Xie Qian and other cabinet ministers, and he later tried every means to drive them out of the court.]

[After these upright people were driven out of the court, Liu Jin's money-making and power-abuse reached its peak, and he even started daydreaming that he shouldn't have.]

"A daydream that shouldn't be had?" Hearing Tianjuan's words, Zhengde glanced at Liu Jin, "What else can you dream about? Do you, a eunuch, want to be the emperor? Hahaha!"
"Your Majesty, please spare me!" Liu Jin smiled bitterly, but held the fan in his hand even tighter.

[There is a saying that goes, if you want to destroy someone, you must make him crazy.]
[Liu Jin, the number one eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, a great eunuch who is nine thousand years old and second only to the emperor. He actually dreamed of usurping the throne. He wanted his grandson Liu Erhan to ascend the throne of the emperor! ]

what!
Liu Jin knelt down with a plop again, without even having time to throw away the folding fan in his hand. He crossed his hands, touched the ground with his head, and started to kowtow "bang bang bang".
"I am willing to die right now. Your Majesty, please believe me!"
