Chapter 5* He wants to rebel
"Why do you want to add a crime? The slaves and maidservants offered advice to the emperor and were said to control the government. It should be known that the policy of Ma Zheng's land was approved by the emperor. With the consent of the elders of the foreign court, even the British and the marquis of the Beijing camp were in favor of it. After that, the rioters became the crime of slaves and maids, which was too highly regarded as slaves. If the emperor believes his words, I have nothing to say.
Most of the ministers bowed their heads. At the beginning, Liu Jin's land and horse reform did get everyone's approval, because Liu Jin's reform did not touch the hair of the nobles at all, and they knew that it was an act of the emperor's acquiescence. Now it is indeed a little far-fetched to blame Liu Jin.
Although the maidservant has some power in the inner court, the maidservant knows that these powers are given by the emperor. How dare they abuse their duties and abuse them? Yang Yiqing said that the maidservant colluded with the party and dared to ask the adult in the court is my party member? If some adults appreciate the slaves and are willing to make friends with them; if they meet slaves and say a few fair words in the court, then all the adults present here may be party members. Think about it, isn't it ridiculous?
Zhengde said, "What Yang Yiqing said is reasonable and well-founded, saying that you * Jue, accept bribes; what's wrong with that Liu Yu's governor?"
Liu Jin kowtowed and said, "That's even more ridiculous. Liu Yu has never even met. How can he accept bribes to promote him? The promotion of official position is the responsibility of the Ministry of Officials. Can I get it on the head of Jiao Shangshu and force him to promote this unknown Liu Yu? Yang Yiqing, tell me, when and when did I receive Liu Yu's money and seek an official position for him?
Yang Yiqing frowned and said, "Why do you have to come forward in person with these things you assigned to do?"
Liu Jin sneered and said, "That is to say, you have no evidence at all, just falsely."
Yang Yiqing said angrily, "You know whether you have done it or not."
Liu Jin smiled and said, "Of course I understand that I didn't do it. You are framed me."
Some of the officials sighed. Yang Yiqing's accusations were pale and powerless. Liu Jin forced Yang Yiqing into a dead end in a few words. If there is no one of Liu Jin's opponent in the sophistry, otherwise he can't be like a fish in water beside the emperor, and his eloquence will not have the same as today's scheming.
"Your Majesty, the maidservant is not perfect, and the maidservant also likes money. The emperor rewarded me some, and the maidservant also saved some money. The relatives from my hometown are good at financial management, and the family property mu is handed over to them to take care of. Now I don't know how much. Maybe I took good care of the maidservant and made some money for the maidservant, but I'm afraid there is no sin. Ladies and gentlemen, which of the princes and marquises does not have its own property? As we all know, there are six roast duck shops in Song Nan's house, Jinjin Doujin, and two manor outside the city. Why didn't Yang Yiqing say that Marquis Song was embezzled and bribed, but caught me Liu Jin for biting? Do you bully me, Liu Jin?
The ministers rolled their eyes and said to themselves: You eunuch still claim to be honest. If you are honest, the world will be a peaceful world.
Liu Jin arched her hand and said to Zhengde, "If every penny of my maidservant's family property comes from the corrupt money in the inner transportation warehouse, I will break myself without the emperor's words. Fan Heng and Wang Yue's lesson from the front car, the slave's memory is still fresh. The emperor usually admonished me, and the maidservant kept it in mind that the emperor could immediately send someone to check the accounts in and out of the carrier warehouse. If there is any corruption of money from the court, the maidservant will commit suicide here.
Of course, Zhengde will not be serious about this. Liu Jin made money to repair the leopard house for himself and searched for beautiful birds and beasts to play with. Although Zhengde did not know how to instruct Liu Jin to make money, he had already acquiesced to him. Although he did not know how much money Liu Jin had made, he did not punish Liu Jin for it.
"The investigation needs to be checked. Since someone proposed it, the accounts of the inner carrier should naturally be checked to relieve everyone's doubts. The household department organized people to check the accounts, and the results were made public in the early morning. But if Liu Jin's land is a legitimate channel, Yang Yiqing, you will be guilty of falselying.
Everyone's eyes gathered on Yang Yiqing, secretly regretting him and the courage to impeach him, but it was a little hasty. These crimes seemed to be heinous, but after Liu Jin's refutation, the emperor may be difficult to believe it. After all, Yang Yiqing has been in the northwest for a long time. He doesn't know the end of the impeachment of Liu Jin in the court and the emperor's reaction. The emperor sincerely protects Liu Jin. If there is no conclusive evidence, it will only bring him great trouble.
At this point, several officials who wanted to take advantage of Yang Yiqing's sharpness to shrink back one after another and did not want to rise up. Thinking that it was not effective for the cabinet scholars to join hundreds of civil officials to impeach eight tigers. How can Yang Yi list overturn Liu Jin today? I don't know if Yang Yiqing is dizzy. He admired his courage before, but now he seems a little stupid to think about it.
In the silence, a voice suddenly sounded: "I have Song Nan played."
With hundreds of eyes, Song Nan slowly stepped out and came to Zhengde's seat to salute.
"Soong Nan, what do you have to discuss?"
"In response to the emperor, I impeached Liu Jin, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department." Song Nan said word by word.
The eyes of civil and military officials rolled around on the ground, and Song Nan actually mixed up. Yang Yiqing is inevitably angry. Song Nan is a crafty and difficult person. Everyone knows that Song Nan and Liu Jin only see the same situation, but for so long, Song Nan has never confronted with Liu Jin. This is this person. The cunning; are you stunned by eating lard today? Knowing that Yang Yiqing's impeachment could not succeed, he still stretched out his head and was stabbed. How stupid it was.
Zhengde frowned and said, "Do you also agree with Yang Yiqing's proposal?"
Song Nan nodded and said, "Of course, to be honest, Lord Yang's impeachment of Liu Jin today was written by me and him, and some unknown things in it were also known secretly by my Jinyi Wei Yamen. Liu Jinhua's clever words pushed it clean, but I didn't expect it.
Zhengde said unhappily, "What is fancy words? What Liu Jin said is also reasonable. If they all slander, is there any order in the court?
Song Nan said, "What the emperor said is that I don't plan to quarrel with Eunuch Liu about these dozen crimes. I have added a new charge of impeachment to Eunuch Liu. Let's talk about this crime today."
Zhengde muttered, "Song Nan, I remind you that you need to have real evidence to impeach others. I most don't like the courtiers to fight against each other. I will severely punish these officials. If Yang Yiqing's impeachment of Liu Jin's crimes is untrue, Yang Yiqing will be dismissed; if you also falsely, I will not forgive them."
Song Nan said righteously, "I understand what the emperor means. The emperor once warned me that the minister's words are still in my ears, but I have to break the case this time, because it is my duty for the sake of the emperor and the Ming society."
Zhengde said, "What is your additional charge of impeaching Liu Jin?"
Song Nan shouted, "Liu Jin colluded with King Anhua to plot a rebellion. The evidence is conclusive. Please check it clearly."
"Ah?"
"What?"
"Song Nan is crazy. How can it be?"
There was a sound of gas in the court. The blockbuster bomb thrown by Song Nan made a mess in the minds of the ministers, but they soon realized that this matter was impossible. Everyone could be Zhu Xiaoqi's internal response, but Liu Jin would never be like this. Although this person was domineering and ferocious, he was more docile than a dog in front of the emperor and would never do it. This kind of dangerous thing.
Zhengde's eyebrows twisted into a pimple. Song Nanming didn't catch the real evidence. Why did he force himself to stand up today? Is he dizzy? In this way, even if I want to save Song Nan, I'm afraid I can't keep it.
"I've heard enough crazy words today. Song Nan, you shouldn't joke about such a thing." Zhengde was in a hurry and euphemistically relieved Song Nan.
"Your Majesty, I won't joke about such a thing. I have evidence."
Liu Jin, who was beside him, couldn't stand it and said with a sneer, "Lord Song, we know that you have played some tricks behind our back and want to deal with our family, but this time you are too much."
Song Nan responded with a sneer, "Mr. Liu, if you are upright, why are you afraid of being dealt with? Is there a ghost in your heart?"
"Joke, our family is loyal to the emperor. What are you afraid of? Your Majesty, I asked Lord Song to produce evidence. If Lord Song can't provide evidence today, I would ask the emperor to severely punish me. How can such people who slander can stand in the court? How can the Ming Dynasty thrive by relying on these people?
Zhengde said, "I know how to do it, and I don't need you to teach it. Song Nan, you need to show the evidence that Liu Jin colluded with Zhu Yu. If you can't, I will be punished. Even if you are a meritorious minister of the court, I can't tolerate it.
Song Nan nodded and said, "I understand, but the evidence is not in my hands."
"What? You bastard!" My husband Zhang Mao almost didn't come up in one breath and almost fainted. Song Nan is here to be funny. Isn't he looking for death? The ministers also shook their heads secretly. Yang Ting and Li Dongyang thought that Song Nan would be confident to stand up today, but they didn't expect that this man was empty.
Liu Jin sneered and said, "It's really a falsely."
Zhengde said angrily, "Song Nan, you have gone too much."
Song Nanjing said quietly, "I just want to ask the emperor to get the evidence in person. Everyone knows that Liu Jin is eloquent and good at inverting and denying it. If I come up with the evidence, he will not recognize it in every way, and the emperor will also be affected by him, so I dare to ask the emperor to get the evidence in person. The evidence is in Liu Jin's Xiangshan courtyard. As soon as it was made public, the emperor understood everything.
