Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 788 He Liu's Good Intentions

A continuous autumn rain enveloped the capital.

Zhang Jing's outer house, a gazebo in the back garden.

Liu Shouyou, who was dressed in commoner clothes, played with the wine glass in his hand, stared at the autumn rain outside the pavilion, and laughed: "Oh, it is said to be an autumn rain and a cold. After this rain, I am afraid that the needlework bureau in the palace will be closed. Prepare the winter coats for the emperor and ladies."

Zhang Jing drank a glass of wine: "My Commander Liu. What are you still interested in looking at Qiu Yu? Originally, we planned to assassinate the eldest son of the emperor, and then put the blame on He Liu! This is good, He Liu's grandson will replace the eldest son of the emperor. He blocked the arrow! He made a great contribution! As a grandfather, he is also honored and granted the title of Marquis of the Town!"

The white-haired Liu Shouyou chuckled, "Heh. Eunuch Zhang, I am no longer the commander of Jinyiwei. From now on, you can call me Shouyou. As for the case of the emperor's eldest son being killed. People have two mouths." Pi, can you make the emperor suspect that He Liu is the mastermind, and that it's not just a matter of touching your lips and smacking your lips, Eunuch Zhang?"

Zhang Jing was shocked when he heard the words: "You mean, we still have a chance?"

Liu Shouyou said with a smile: "Please listen to Eunuch Zhang."

After Zhang Jing finished whispering with Liu Shouyou, Zhang Jing happily poured wine for Liu Shouyou: "Commander Liu is really Kong Ming of the present age! Great plan! Great plan!"

Liu Shouyou said with a smile: "As long as Eunuch Zhang tells the emperor what I just said, even if the emperor does not believe that He Liu is the mastermind, he will still be suspicious of He Liu!"

Zhang Jing praised Liu Shouyou: "Based on Mr. Liu's strategy, he has been the commander of Jinyiwei for 30 years. It is really a waste of talent! You should be in the cabinet and be a veteran of the cabinet! With your intelligence, if you can enter the cabinet, maybe your achievements will not be there. What under Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing, and Wang Xijue!"

Liu Shouyou is very self-aware.He said modestly: "My resourcefulness is nothing more than a small cleverness to trick people. Compared with the great wisdom of the chief ministers of the past, it is really nothing. However, I have never been reconciled, and I have not been able to win over the years. Sixty-one inning."

Actually, Liu Shouyou didn't have any deep hatred with He Liu.There is no conflict of interest.The reason why he got involved with Zhang Jing and hurt He Liu many times in the past few years was just to take a gamble.

Why do you, He Liu, a domestic slave who was born as a family copying official, can be in charge of Jinyiwei for decades, and he is also a prince and Shaobao, and a noble and a mountain lord?

I, Liu Shouyou, am the son of a famous official.For decades, you have only been able to hold the title of a commanding envoy without any real power, and you are firmly under your ass.

Before I, Liu Shouyou, die, I will definitely beat you, He Liuyi, and I will not be able to rest in peace until I am in the Nine Springs!
at the same time.He Fu.

Wang Zhizhen and Luo Sigong hurried into the hall.

He Liu asked: "You came here late at night, you must have found out who stole the locust machine crossbow?"

The assassin was nowhere to be found.However, the clue of the locust machine crossbow was left behind.Yesterday, He Liu ordered Wang and Luo to investigate one by one in the Weizhong who had the chance to steal the locust machine crossbow.

Wang Zhizhen said: "Master, the apprentice has been identified. Five days ago, Xiaoqi Lu Wan, Fusi Xiaoqi of Nanzhen, guarded the arsenal alone. There is a serious suspicion of committing a crime."

He Liu frowned: "What? I'm old and my ears are a little hard of hearing. Who do you think is suspect? Lu Wan?"

Wang Zhizhen said, "It's Lu Wan."

He Liu was a little unconvinced: "Impossible. Lu Wan is the grandson of the old commander Lu Bing, the eldest son of my old brother Lu Si! How could he do something like guarding himself?"

Luo Sigong said from the side: "Master, Senior Brother Wang and I have screened all the people through a sieve. In recent days, only Lu Wan has the chance to steal the locust machine crossbow! Oh, and there is. Master, There is one thing you don't know. In the past few years, Lu Wan has repeatedly complained to people after drinking, saying that you always deliberately suppress him and prevent him from being promoted. The nephew of the Thirteenth Taibao during the Jiajing period is at least a hundred-household position now. Only he, the grandson of the old commander, cannot be reused."

He Liu sighed: "Oh, how could he know my good intentions. Where is Lu Wan now?"

Luo Sigong replied: "He is being held in Beizhen Fusizhao Prison."

He Liu asked with concern: "You didn't punish him, did you?"

Wang Zhizhen said: "If it had been changed to the usual small flag, I would have sent people to torture. After all, Lu Wan is the grandson of the old commander. I just ordered people to guard him strictly, and did not execute the sentence."

He Liudao: "Let's go. Go to the Imperial Prison, I'll see him."

An hour later, Wang Zhizhen walked into Fusi Prison in Beizhen holding an oil-paper umbrella and protecting He Liu.

In the No. 13 cell of the Imperial Prison, Lu Wan was wearing a small flag soap suit, lying on the withered grass, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"Crackling".The cell door opened, and He Liu walked in.

Lu Wan opened his eyes and glanced at He Liu.

Wang Zhizhen said angrily: "Bold! How dare you be rude when you see Master Liu?"

Lu Wan heard the words, but did not answer.He just lazily stood up and made a bow to He Liu.

He Liudao: "Nephew, I have wronged you!"

Turning his head, He Liu ordered Wang Zhizhen: "Remove Lu Xiaoqi's shackles and shackles. You all go out."

Wang Zhizhen said: "Master, Lu Wan is suspected of betraying Jin Yiwei. After removing his shackles, you are in a room alone with him. I'm afraid it will be dangerous."

He Liu glared at Wang Zhizhen.Wang Zhizhen didn't speak any more, so he had no choice but to walk up to Lu Wan, remove his shackles, and then exit the cell together with several wrestlers.

He Liu stared at Lu Wan: "You really look like your grandfather."

Lu Wan said meaningfully: "How dare I compare myself to my grandfather? He is the Taibao of the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince, the Commander of Zuo Dudu, and the commander of Jin Yiwei. What about me? I'm just a small flag."

He Liu sat in front of Lu Wan: "I know, you are complaining that I have been suppressing you all these years and not letting you be promoted."

Lu Wan said half-heartedly: "How dare I complain about the sixth master. It has been said in the emperor's imperial decree that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, you have always been the number one in Jinyiwei! Your credit is better than that of my grandfather Mao Xiang and my grandfather Lu Bingjia. It's going to be bigger."

He Liu sighed: "You are talking angry. Alas, you don't know my good intentions."

Lu Wan sneered: "Oh, I would like to ask Sixth Master, what are your good intentions?"

He Liu confided everything in his heart: "When you put on the official uniform of the Jinyiwei, you have to pin your head to the waistband. The bigger the official in the Jinyiwei, the greater the power and the greater the risk. You just now Speaking of Mao Xiang, the patriarch of our Jinyiwei? At the beginning, he killed a bunch of heroes who founded the country for the great grandfather. His power has reached the point where the eyes of all officials have changed. But what about the other side? Isn’t it the same as death?”

When Lu Wan heard the words, he didn't speak.

He Liu said again: "Let's talk about the [-]th Taibao of the Jiajing Dynasty. How many of them died well? Let's talk about He Shizhong, the governor of the North Town, and Yang Wan, the governor of the South Town during the Wanli period. One died of assassination, and the other became a useless person. .Your father, Lu Si, was also one of the Thirteen Taibao back then. In the end, didn’t he die in the case of the snake spirit?”
