Chapter 550 So-called Evidence

On the way to withdraw from the Qianqing Palace, Song Nan carefully recalled the process of talking with Zhengde. He understood the reason why Zhengde did not want to say Liu Jin's name and strictly warned himself that he needed to obtain conclusive evidence. In fact, Zhengde did not believe that Liu Jin really collusion with King Anhua.

On the one hand, Zhengde can only entrust himself to find out the truth, and on the other hand, he is worried that he is pretending to be public and private. From this point of view, Liu Jin's status in Zhengde's mind is still extremely high. Zhengde's most hope that he hopes to find out is not evidence of Liu Jin's collusion, but evidence that Liu Jin is not doing anything to this matter.

Song Nan secretly reminded herself that since she has launched an attack on Liu Jin, she must spare no effort to care about the consequences. At this moment, any hesitation and retreat will bring disaster. Moreover, things have to be accelerated. Liu Jin accompanied Zhengde all day long, and the two are inseparable. Maybe Zhengde will be in Liu Jin. If there is a leak in front of you, things will become complicated and dangerous. By Liu Jin's means, if he fights back with all his strength, Zhang Yong will definitely not be able to keep it, and Zhang Yong will definitely bite himself out, which will be out of control.

The afternoon sun is warm and warm, and there are unknown flying insects dancing in the air. Standing on the steps of the Qianqing Palace Gate and looking up, on the big square under the steps, more than a dozen big Han generals stood quietly, and there was no one else around quietly.

Song Nan looked sideways at the road leading to Shouning Palace behind the palace. He thought about whether he wanted to go to Shouning Palace to see Princess Kangning, but Song Nan was difficult to face Kangning. Looking at the passing of years, the promises he made in those years have not been fulfilled. Although he actively worked in that direction, I don't know what year and when I will be. When I see Corning, I feel uneasy.

Song Nan sighed and waved to a little eunuch standing in front of the gate of the Qianqing Palace. The little eunuch hurriedly trotted over and saluted, "What do you have any orders, Lord Song?"

Song Nan smiled and said, "Please ask my father-in-law to do something for me."

The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Lord Song, but tell me."

Song Nan took out a small box from her arms and handed it over and said, "My father-in-law sent this to Shouning Palace and gave it to Princess Corning for me. He said that this was a gift I brought to the princess when I returned from Ningxia. If the princess asked, she said that I had something important to do and would come to the palace in a few days to greet you."

The little eunuch said quickly, "That's on me." Song Nan took out an ingot of silver and stuffed it in the hands of the little eunuch. The little eunuch tried his best to refuse. Seeing Song Nan insisting, he happily accepted it and went to Shouning Palace with the box.

Song Nan looked at the back of the little eunuch leaving, stood for a long time, sighed, and slowly walked down the steps in front of the Qianqing Palace. Under the steps, a general's guard of the Han Dynasty went forward and saluted, "Lord Song, my leader is waiting for you in the camp."

Song Nan nodded, walked through the square, and walked all the way to the north of Fengtian Hall. Looking to the right, there was a hanging door. Outside the hanging door stood four generals of Jinyiwei. Seeing Song Nan bowing together, Song Nan waved her hand and walked slowly into the hanging door. Behind him, a Jinyiwei Han said in his voice: "Lord, the command !"

shouted, and hundreds of people surged out of dozens of neatly arranged houses in an instant. Among the three high rooms in the middle were Wan Zhi, the commander of General Jinyiwei Han's battalion, and more than a dozen officials under him. Hundreds of people saluted at the same time and said in unison, "See the commander."

Song Nan arched his hand and said, "Good brothers, get up. I have something to say with Wan Tongling. Let's go ahead."

Everyone got up and scattered into the surrounding houses. This is the residence of General Han's camp in the palace. 1,500 Jinyi General Han is the main guard force around the emperor. He is on duty in the palace day and night. There are still more than a dozen rows of barracks in the rear, and dozens of rooms here are in the camp. Offices for generals and civil servants.

"Lord Song, please come to the hall." Wan Zhigong's hands were full of friendly smiles.

Song Nan laughed and said, "Brother Wan, this is the first time I have come to this newly relocated Dahan General Camp, which is much more elegant than the old military camp in Xiyuan."

Wan Zhi laughed and said, "Isn't it thanks to you?"

Song Nan smiled and entered the room under the guidance of Wan Zhi. Wan Zhi asked Song Nan to sit on the big chair behind the table and sat down on his side. Several deputy members of the battalion did not dare to sit down and stood down. Song Nan simply asked about some official matters, and everyone replied one by one. After a few words of encouragement, Song Nan wink at Wan Zhi. Wan Zhi was understanding and got up and said, "Go ahead. I'll chat with the commander."

All the subordinates are all fine. They all know that Commander Song's coming in person must not come to see the new station, but to discuss with Commander Wan. One by one, they retreated with an interesting salute. When there were only Song Nan and Wan Zhi in the hall, Wan Zhi got up to open the curtain on his side and invited Song Nan to enter a small public room next door. , the two sit opposite each other.

"How's the matter?" Song Nan asked softly.

"Your Excellency, after receiving the order of the adult on the way back to Beijing, he began to inquire about it; what the adult wanted to know was basically clear."

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

"Yes, as far as I know, the emperor's clothes and clothing are under the control of Shang Yijian. Sun Jin, the leader of Shang Yijian, is an old man in the palace. This man seems to have nothing to do with Liu Jin."

Song Nan nodded and said, "It's not surprising that Shang Yijian is not an important internal government."

"Yes, as for the production of the emperor's dragon robe, it has always been a matter of the needlework bureau in the palace. There is a precedent of sending internal court eunuchs to Suzhou to supervise the manufacturing, but today's dragon robe worn by the emperor's accession to the throne is made in the palace."

Song Nan nodded and asked, "How many dragon robes does the emperor have?"

Wan Zhi said: "It is said that there are two pieces, and the emperor can't wear them several times a year. Most of the time, they are regular imperial clothes. The two pieces are enough, and they are stored in the Shangyi prison. If adults want to get one, it's not difficult.

Song Nan thought for a moment and said, "No, Shangyi Supervisor's coat decorated with crowns and other things must be checked and recorded every day. If one suddenly disappears in these days, it will be suspicious. There can't be a single mistake in this matter. If you want to put Liu Jin to death, you have to be thorough and flawless, otherwise you will be devoured.

Wan Zhi whispered, "Your Excellency, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say it or not."

Song Nan said, "That's it."

"The humble position is thinking that since we are going to knock down Liu Jin this time, why don't we do it happily? As long as you give an order, my Jinyi guard government can dig up Liu Jin's buttocks in a few days. I don't believe that I can't dig out his dirty foundation, but why do we use such a method? Liu Jin deserves to die, but it doesn't seem to be open and upright in such a secret way.

Song Nan looked at Wan Zhi and said, "Brother Wan, do you think I don't want to be aboveboard? It is actually very simple to investigate Liu Jin's secret actions, but the question is what can be done after it is found out? The emperor will not do Liu Jin because of those so-called greed and power. Do you know that the Xiyuan leopard house was rebuilt immediately after it was burned down. For fear of opposition from the ministers, only 50,000 taels of silver were allocated symbolically, while the Xiyuan leopard house cost at least 700,000 taels. Where did this money come from? Do you know?"

Wan Zhi was stunned and said, "Is it possible that Liu Jin came out?"

Song Nan said, "Of course, it's him. The reason why Liu Jin can get to this point is that this person is good at understanding the emperor's psychology, and he is also loyal to the emperor and tries his best to satisfy the emperor's wishes. Liu Jin accepts bribes and accumulates a lot of wealth everywhere. We can find evidence of these. You should be the north and south. Is Si vegetarian? These things have long been full of information in the government. But if the emperor let him do these things, and even these are Liu Jin doing things for the emperor, will the emperor punish him for this? I think that once things come out, it's just a scolding and doing superficial work, and the government that dug out this matter will completely offend the emperor in the future.

Wan Zhi bulged his eyes for a long time and whispered, "I understand that there is still this relationship in it."

Song Nan said slowly, "On the way back to Beijing these days, I have figured out a lot of things. In Xinping Fort, Liu Jin fled from the horse and abandoned the princess. Does he deserve to die? But in fact, within a few days, he sett out the matter. After that, Princess Corning mentioned the matter to the emperor, but the emperor had already believed Liu Jin's words and laughed at Princess Corning's suspicion. In fact, the emperor may not believe it, but the emperor relies too much on Liu Jin and favors him in his heart.

"In the rebellion of Liu Liu and Liu Qi, I impeached Gu Dayong and the emperor who was indeed angry with Liu Jin, but what kind of punishment did Liu Jin receive? Handing over the imperial horse prison to Zhang Yong is actually because of my suggestion. Because I tried my best to ask for credit for Zhang Yong, the emperor is just a hindrance to my face. Otherwise, if you are an ordinary person, you will dare to pretend to help the country. I'm afraid that his head has been cut off long ago, and Gu Dayong was only sent to Nanjing. This is because of Liu Jin's offer. Once Gu Dayong is killed, Gu Dayong can't live, and he will bite Liu Jin out. At that time, it will be difficult to deal with it. It seems that the emperor is young and doesn't seem to understand these twists and turns, but in fact, it may be us who misread it. I guess the emperor's light hair is also to protect Liu Jin.

Wan Zhi was shocked to hear this and looked at Song Nan with his mouth half open and said without saying a word.

Song Nan continued: "It can be seen that the emperor's favor for Liu Jin was more powerful than we thought. I deliberately asked Zhang Yong to bite out Liu Jin to see how the emperor reacted. The emperor's first reaction was not to believe it. Even just now, the emperor still refused to tell me the truth, but warned me to come up with evidence. Come on. When will I be asked to have evidence before I can act on the case? What a big joke."

Wan Zhi asked in a low voice, "In this case, how can you be sure that the emperor will not shield Liu Jin this time?"

Song Nan smiled and said, "The emperor can tolerate any evil deeds of Liu Jin, but he will never tolerate anyone colluding with the vassal king to rebel. If the emperor can tolerate this, is the emperor still the emperor? This is the emperor's bottom line. No matter who touches this bottom line, he will be finished.

"But the lord also said that the emperor is biased in this matter..."

"That's because the emperor knows Liu Jin's character and knows that he doesn't dare to do so at all. The emperor must think that this is someone framed; so we have to get some evidence to make the emperor have to believe this matter. Once the emperor believes it, Liu Jin will be hopeless."

Wan Zhi nodded and said, "I understand the humble position, but the lord will plant Liu Jin with a dragon robe and teach him not to argue."

Song Nan stared and said, "What is planting? Don't say it so unpleasantly, okay? Liu Jin should have died. Personally, he ordered someone to assassinate me, and I naturally want to return the color. From the overall situation, his existence is a cancer of the Ming Dynasty, and he must die. The point is not what means to use, but whether the goal can be achieved.

Wan Zhi said, "I understand the humble position."
