Chapter 178 Leopard

Chapter Charter

In the backyard of Qianqing Palace, the 15-year-old Zhengde Emperor was hitting the ground with a long whip with a smile. Far away, a young leopard roared deeply, his frightened eyes glowed green, and he lay on the ground and grinned.

Liu Jin bowed and stood beside Zhengde and smiled, "Your Majesty, this leopard is not bad. Look at that. I don't know how to be powerful when I grow up."

Zhengde nodded and said, "Yes, I have always wanted to go to the palace to hunt tigers and leopards with my own hands, and I don't have this opportunity. Xiao Jinzi is good and understands my thoughts."

Liu Jin said happily, "That's because the maidservant followed the emperor when he peed. How could he not understand the emperor's thoughts? It took a lot of effort to get this leopard, and it took a lot of effort to enter the palace.

Zhengde said, "You must be afraid of being known by the ministers, right?"

Liu Jin said, "Yes, I'm afraid that the ministers will know, and I'm more afraid that Fan Heng and others will know that Donghua Gate can't enter at all. I secretly got it from the west. It's good for the emperor to like it, and it won't be in vain."

Zhengde snorted, "Will Fan Heng obstruct it? When will it be his turn to take care of my affairs?

Liu Jin said, "Your Majesty, he is the secretary and the admiral of the East Factory. Although he is an official of the inner court, if you reveal to the ministers that the emperor has got a leopard into the palace, won't the ministers quarrel? The maidservant is also just in case.

Zhengde said angrily, "Does he dare? How dare he tell the ministers about the palace?

Liu Jin smiled and said, "I don't dare, but always be on guard. Have you forgotten that when the emperor was the crown prince, Fan Heng sent people to secretly follow our affairs? The maidservant was scared that time. If it hadn't been for Song Qianhu's help, I'm afraid that I would have suffered at that time.

Liu Jin's eyes were a little red. She lifted her skirt and wiped her eyes. Zhengde frowned and said, "It's all over. What else do you mention? I finally came to clean up for a while, but you came to mention your troubles again.

Liu Jin quickly said, "I know my mistake. I shouldn't have mentioned this matter. Majesty, where is the right place to put this leopard?"

Zhengde said, "Can't you keep it in this yard? Anyway, I'm on the chain."

Liu Jin quickly said, "Your Majesty, you can spare the lives of the slaves and maidservants. Can't be put them in the Qianqing Palace? Fan Heng and others follow the emperor, and the ministers often come and go in and out. Isn't this the life of the slaves and maidservants?"

Zhengde said, "What should I do? Is it possible that I can't even see a leopard?"

Liu Jin said, "There is definitely no way in the palace, but there is a way. Isn't the island in the middle of the lake in the Taiye Pool in Xiyuan of the imperial city empty? The maidservant thought that he surrounded the fence on the island and raised the leopard in it. In the future, what rare birds and animals did the maidservant have and put them on the island together. If the emperor wants to see it, we will go there to watch and play to our heart's content. If we build a few big houses, we can rest on the island when we are tired, isn't it the best of both?

Zhengde patted his thigh and said, "It's a good idea. That's a good way. Let's do it."

Liu Jin frowned and said, "The emperor likes it, but what if someone opposes it?"

Zhengde was stunned and said, "Who will oppose it? Can't I get a place to watch? Besides, it's still in the imperial city, and I'm not going out to play.

Liu Jin said, "It costs money to build a fence and build a house. Now the money and goods in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all for Wang Yue and Fanheng and others to nod. In the future, I will also need silver to search for some strange flowers, grass, rare birds and beasts. I have followed you for many years. You know that I am maidservants are nothing. Savings, this leopard slave still spent his life's savings to buy it, and he can't do anything without silver.

Zhengde said, "What's the matter? I'll tell Wang Yue tomorrow and ask him to transfer money for you in the inner transportation warehouse. You can do this well, and I can wait to go to play."

Liu Jin hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely do it properly. Please give me a name."

Zhengde thought for a moment and said, "As it is built for the place of the beast in front of us, this beast naturally takes the lead, so it's called the leopard house."

Liu Jin applauded, "Leopard room! Good name, the emperor's name is good. I am relieved now. With the emperor's will, who dares to say things.

Zhengde waved his hand and said, "Don't swagger. It's not good to let the ministers outside know. These days, I've been annoyed by them. I have to go to the scriptures. I can't go even if I promise to go. I also said that I have to be there. Unexpectedly, I have to promise that I won't be absent again. I'm almost bored."

Liu Jin turned his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. I shouldn't have talked too much about the ministers, but you are the emperor. When did my Ming Dynasty have a reason why the emperor was threatened by his ministers? It's also right that the emperor doesn't want to quarrel with them. After all, it's all for the sake of the society of the Ming Dynasty, but it can't be too indulged.

Zhengde waved his hand boredly and said, "Stop talking. I don't want to hear this. Look, the leopard is licking his lips. He must be hungry. Go and get a live chicken to pounce on it. I will also look at the majesty of the leopard."

Liu Jin hurriedly agreed, bowed down and waved his hand to ask a little eunuch to go to the imperial dining room to get live chickens, but he turned around the corridor and came out of the Qianqing Palace and came to the flower bed outside the hall. Song Nan was standing there with his hands behind his hand to watch the purple and red flowers on the flower bed bow his head to meditate.

The footsteps shocked Song Nan. Song Nan looked up and saw Liu Jin coming. He smiled and arched his hand and said, "Goodbye, Grandpa Liu."

Liu Jin pulled Song Nan under the wall beside him and whispered, "The emperor agreed."

Song Nan said, "Okay, the rest of the matter is up to you. I can't go to see the emperor these days. When I see the emperor, he will definitely ask me to play basketball with him, which will divert the emperor's attention. If the emperor announces me, you will say that I will go to Beijing for a job. I will find out for you outside and search for evidence."

Liu Jin nodded and said, "Song Qianhu, you have to find out. This is not a joke. As soon as I started in the palace, there was no way out."

Song Nan sneered and said, "Do you still want to retreat?" The attitude of cabinet ministers has been made clear, and they have half-publicly supported Wang Yue Fanheng and others. If you don't want to be bullied by them, you can only deal with them. If you want the emperor to speak, you must find a reason to speak for the emperor. How can the emperor's new accession to the throne directly take Wang Yue Fanheng regardless of the feelings of the ministers? Do our positions let you go to the top? Anyway, this is your business. If you don't want to, I will be happy. If you hadn't complained in front of me the day before yesterday, I wouldn't bother to care.

Seeing Song Nan's poor words, Liu Jin said quickly, "That's not what we mean. How can I be willing to be bullied by those two old dogs? I just don't think it's a big chance of winning."

Song Nan said, "The plan is in the sky, and no one can guarantee you. I have figured out the two houses outside, worth more than 100,000 taels of silver. As long as you want to investigate, I will find out the water for you. Wang Yue, Fan Heng, Xu Zhi and their real estate fields outside are all clear. It will also be handed over to you. That's your business.

Liu Jin lowered her head and gritted her teeth and said, "Dry it, this time the fish is dead and the net is broken, otherwise there will be no good life in the future. If you have worked hard, the work has been done. Our brothers will be friends of life and death in the future. In the future, if we have a piece of meat in our family, we will have a bowl of soup."

Song Nan smiled and said, "Then I'll thank you in advance. Say less and do more. Let's talk about it after doing well. I can't stay in the palace for a long time and leave."

Liu Jin arched his hand and watched Song Nan go out of the side door. He turned around, clenched his fist, bit his teeth, and walked to the apse of Qianqing Palace. From afar, he heard Zhengde's shouting. A young man in the garden made a grunt and was nowhere to hide by the leopard. Finally, he was exhausted and was caught under the claws by the leopard.

Song Nan did not enter the palace to see Zhengde in the past seven or eight days. She only met Liu Jin. Liu Jin also felt that the wind was wrong and there was no one around him to discuss it, so she came to find Song Nan to discuss it. So Song Nan told Liu Jin about her plan for many days.

Song Nan's plan is actually very simple. If Liu Jin and others want to defeat Wang Yue Fanheng, the positive confrontation is a must-lose situation at present. Zhengde can't support Liu Jin and others at this time, because there is no opportunity to change the key positions in the inner court for no reason, which is bound to arouse opposition from the court and will also be said to be the construction of the emperor. The distrust of the built team.

No matter how much Zhengde cares about politics, he will not make such an obvious mistake, especially when the relationship with cabinet ministers becomes more and more estranged, and Zhengde will not make this decision.

Song Nan's plan is to give Zhengde an opportunity to speak straight and make the inner court bosses shut up. The only way is to find the handle of Wang Yue and Fan Heng and others. If Wang Yue and Fan Heng stand upright, then Zhengde can speak uprightly to support Liu Jin.

The mistakes made by officials are nothing more than the loss of control of power, money and sex. The eunuchs naturally have nothing to do with the word sex. Song Nan can't find any flaw in their authority for a while. The only flaw is the word 'money'. The eunuchs love wealth and the world know that Song Nan does not believe that Wang Yue and Fan Heng have been in control of the inner court for so many years, and have not made no economic mistakes. The inner court The oil is so big that these two people can't stand it?

Song Nan spread her eyeliner. After a few days of fishing, she finally found valuable clues, so a plan for Wang Yue, Fan Heng, Xu Zhi and others was newly released.
