Three major generals, hundreds of civil and military officials, the Tiedan Shenhou and more than a dozen Dongchang and Jinyiwei senior officials reported to the emperor and exposed Liu Jin's seventeen major crimes.
[Extorting bribes, accepting bribes, embezzling, rejecting dissidents, and framing Zhongliang. In order to increase his power, Liu Jin established a spy organization "Expert Factory" on top of Jinyiwei and Dongchang to supervise officials and people, creating an atmosphere of terror. If officials of all sizes disobey, they will
All of them were attacked, persecuted, and even imprisoned and died unjustly.]
In the court hall, Zhengde was shocked and ordered Liu Jin, who was on the verge of death, to be arrested and interrogated.
The next day, the emperor personally went to raid Liu Jin's home. Millions of taels of gold and silver were found in his home, as well as counterfeit seals, jade belts and other prohibited items. Two daggers were also found in the fan Liu Jin often carried.
.
Facts speak louder than words. Zhengde was furious when he saw this and finally believed the fact that Liu Jin was treason. He ordered Liu Jin to be executed late and asked the Ministry of Revenue to make statistics on Liu Jin's corruption and the impact of related bills.
Officials from the Ministry of Revenue stayed up for three days and nights and finally calculated that Liu Jin was really causing harm to the country and the people.
The national treasury and internal treasury all have large deficits in their bills. The amount of gold involved in the corruption case is as much as 2.5 million taels, more than 50 million taels of silver, and countless other treasures.
As for why only more than one million taels were seized, it must be because Liu Jin was a cunning old man and had a private treasury. The Ministry of Punishment has ordered people to investigate and must make up for all the losses to the court.
A series of policies made by Liu Jin when he was the governor were all abolished at once.
for example:
One: Abolition of officials.
During this period, Liu Jin dismissed thousands of officials in Tianshun, Shaanxi Trilateral General System and other places. After this incident, they were all restored and reused.
Two: Suppress grace.
During Liu Jin's reign, the imperial court's measures to suppress Enyin were mainly focused on two aspects: official gifts and officials' Yinzi.
During his time in charge, he narrowed the scope of gifts for civil servants and relatives. That is to say, those with first rank and first rank who have political achievements can receive additional gifts. Officials between the second rank and fifth rank, no matter what their political achievements, are not allowed to receive additional gifts.
.
Honorable ministers must have military merit, and civil servants of second rank or above must have outstanding political achievements before they can receive additional gifts. If their political achievements are mediocre, no additional gifts will be given to all officials regardless of their rank.
Such actions have really chilled the hearts of the world's scholars, officials, and nobles, and of course they must be abolished.
Three: Hanlin official transfer to subordinates, foreign appointment
Previously, in terms of promotion methods, the "Ming Huidian" said: "Every vacancy in Zhan's office and the Imperial Academy's official seal will be filled from the cabinet."
After Liu Jin came to power, this time it was changed to the list being drawn up by the Ministry of Personnel and decided by the emperor. More importantly, many Hanlin officials were transferred to subordinate officials and local officials.
Such an act was against the laws of our ancestors. It is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Jin brought disaster to the country and the people!
Half a month later, Liu Jin served her sentence.
There are three executioners in the execution ground who take turns to execute the execution. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, those who are late must cut 3357 knives, cutting off a thin piece of flesh with each knife, and the knife must not touch the vital parts. Within three days, the prisoner's flesh and blood will gradually disappear and he will lose his human shape, but he will not die.
Because it was a public execution, there were many onlookers, many of whom came to watch with money. The purpose of bringing gold and silver was to exchange for a piece of skin and flesh.
Most of these were Liu Jin's enemies. Some were directly or indirectly persecuted by Liu Jin, and some were relatives who were persecuted to death by Liu Jin. They competed to get a piece of Liu Jin's flesh and take it home to commemorate their relatives.
After the memorial ceremony is completed, an iron rack is placed over the fire, brushed with oil, and the meat is roasted and swallowed to show relief from hatred.
Shangguan Haitang walked blankly on the road holding the little yellow cat. No matter the dignitaries or ordinary people, most of them were dressed in new clothes and went about their daily lives.
There are various snacks around the streets, such as Gejia candied dates, Guanxiang Kouguangjia soup, Zhongwa Qianjia sheep rice, sweet bean soup in front of the grocery store, fake wild fox, golden tripe soup, raw fried lung, stone tripe soup,
Fake roasted deer, fried quail
There are many interesting performances at the intersections of various roads: sword dancing, wrestling, fire spitting, and tightrope walking. The Jiaofangsi also trained a hundred horses in advance and let them dance on the wooden planks raised by hundreds of strong men.
Government offices and guild halls and shops in various places are all decorated with lights and colorful decorations. In the downtown area, colorful curtains are hung, and dance pavilions and singing stages are carefully arranged everywhere.
As soon as Liu Jin died, it seemed that the whole of Kyoto suddenly came to life. The entire court, including civil and military officials, seemed to be very happy.
But what are they happy about? Shangguan Haitang is a little confused.
Moreover, she felt that her adoptive father's eyes seemed to have become scary. After Liu Jin's death, he suddenly became cold, stern, and even longing.
…
Hulong Villa.
Celebration banquet.
Zhu Wuwu picked up the wine glass and stood up: "Today I want to toast you all first, because I didn't tell you all the arrangements in advance and made you worry. I'm sorry."
"Cheers!" Cheng Shifei said happily.
"Meow meow~"
After drinking, Yun Luo said curiously: "Uncle Huang, we all thought you committed suicide."
Zhu Wuwu felt a little complacent: "Ever since the incident with Yida, I knew that Liu Jin would definitely find an opportunity to frame me. So I looked for an opportunity to use this cruel trick and waited for him to show his fox tail first.
In this way, we can seize evidence of his crime, kill him in one fell swoop, and eliminate future troubles forever."
Su Xin asked with concern: "What about the silkworm in your belly? I saw you fainting from pain many times. Do you know how worried I was about you at that time?"
"Su Xin, I'm sorry. If I didn't act more realistically, how could Liu Jin believe me? It's actually an old friend of mine: the most amazing man in the world, Mr. Wuhen. He is familiar with the world's strange poisons and their treatments.
He once gave me a 'Ten Thousand Poisons and Insect-Repelling Pill' that I have been researching for many years. Its effect is to eliminate all kinds of strange poisons in the world, and it can also kill all kinds of poisonous insects. Before I entered the Tianlao, I had taken it.
.
I had already calculated that Liu Jin, knowing that I was very powerful, would definitely resort to such despicable methods. That day, after I sucked the silkworms from your body into my stomach, I felt everything was burning inside and out, and the pain was unbearable.
Even my unparalleled skills can't do anything to it.
But half an hour later, the effect of the medicine took effect, and the silkworm died in my belly that day."
Su Xin frowned: "Then what happened to that sword at that time? I saw it pierce your heart with my own eyes."
At that time, she saw with her own eyes that the Lord Shen could not bear the humiliation and died in front of her. At that moment, she suddenly understood what it meant to be heartbroken.
Iron Claw Flying Eagle stood up and said: "Of course the sword was prepared by the villain. The sword is eight inches long, but only three inches penetrate the body. The injury is real, but it will not hurt the internal organs."
Haitang and others looked at this old rival, the stall owner of Dongchang, in surprise. It turned out that he was the most hidden spy of Hulong Villa.
The key point is that he acted so much like him that they wanted to kill him countless times!
"Meow meow~" the little yellow cat jumped on top of the flying eagle, looking up to the sky and roaring.
Several people suddenly smiled knowingly.
Fei Ying quickly showed a simple, awkward and polite smile.
The current situation seemed a bit exciting to him. He had just betrayed a master, and then in front of his new former master, he was living harmoniously with another last master.
However, Shenhou said seriously: "Fake wounds will never deceive Liu Jin. Moreover, I also took the pill 'Turtle Breath Pill' given by Mr. Wuhen, and even my breathing and the movement of my five internal organs stopped.
This is what I want to teach you today: to succeed, there must be sacrifices, and to win a battle, many people must die. A little physical pain is nothing, removing a big harm to the country is the most important!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately stood in awe.
To do this is said to be very simple, but the danger involved is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
For example, what if Cao Zhengchun, who had such magical skills, suddenly got into trouble in the prison and took advantage of the fact that the god prince was controlled by the fairy feather needle and struck the god prince to death with a violent palm?
This time, although they won a great victory, everyone was still afraid.
Zhu Wuwu turned to look at Wan Sanqian: "Of course, I would like to thank Brother Wan for your help this time. If it weren't for Brother Wan, many plans would be like water without a source or a tree without roots, and would be difficult to implement at all."
Wan Sanqian smiled and said: "My efforts have paid off. Haitang has agreed to be my wife."
Zhu Wuwu looked at Shangguan Haitang and confirmed, "Is that so?"
Haitang nodded: "Yes, foster father, our wedding date has been set!"
Everyone present looked confused, and no one commented on the marriage. You must know that Yida is still recovering from his wounds, and he also loves Haitang deeply.
With Yida's temper, will there be any exciting dramas then?
"Bah chirp, bah chirp" the little yellow cat was looking forward to it while eating the melon seeds.
When the time comes, will he stand on the side of money or on the opposite side of his friends? This really makes him a little troubled.
"Haha!" Zhu Wulan smiled with satisfaction: "The owner of the No. 1 village in the world is getting married to the owner of the No. 1 village in the world. This is truly the No. 1 wedding banquet in the world. Come on, Su Xin, you and I will toast them first and give them my best wishes.
They have been together for hundreds of years and will always be united!"
"Okay, sir!" Su Xin said gently.
The daughter's family always wants to marry, and now she has finally determined her inner choice, Zhu Wuwu is her best match.
Zhu Wuli's eyes widened: "Su Xin, what did you call me?"
"My lord!"
Zhu Wuli raised the corner of his mouth and almost couldn't maintain the demeanor he had maintained over the years.
Today, we have eliminated the enemy and taken back the Dongchang, Jin Yiwei, and Imperial Guards. Outside the city, there are 300,000 troops who were forced to come by Liu Jin. Thirteen thousand are married to the adopted daughter who admires him the most, and there is no shortage of food and grass.
In this way, the picturesque land is about to fall into your hands. At this critical moment, Su Xin expresses her love again, which is simply a triple blessing.
His life is complete!
"Hmm?" Su Xin suddenly felt dizzy, holding on to the table, and then fainted.
Zhu Wuwu quickly supported him: "Su Xin, Su Xin? The miracle doctor of joy!"
When everyone helped Su Xin into the house, the miracle doctor arrived soon. After looking around and asking questions, Zhu Wuwang was a little confused.
"God, the celestial silkworm that Miss Su Xin took was extremely poisonous and caused his aging disease in advance. If he cannot find the third celestial-scented cardamom within seven days, he will definitely die!"
His life was not perfect again.
"Father, what's wrong with Miss Su Xin? What do you want from me?" Haitang came over and asked respectfully.
Zhu Wulan said coldly: "Order to go down and find out all the files about Tianxiang cardamom for me. Also, you must find the third Tianxiang cardamom for me before midnight in seven days, otherwise,
Immediately behead without mercy!"
Haitang was speechless.
Such a foster father is so strange.
"What, didn't you hear clearly?" Zhu Wu said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
…
The second day, Hulong Villa, Zhongyi Hall.
"Look, look for it quickly, why can't you find it?" Zhu Wuli was furious.
It has been twenty years. He has been preparing hard for twenty years and endured countless hardships to build Hulong Villa, just to collect all the intelligence in the world. In the end, it was of no use at this critical moment.
What a waste! Trash!
"Father, don't worry, give us some time." Haitang said helplessly.
"I give you time, but will God give me Su Xin some time?" Zhu Wuwu wished he could look up to the sky and scream.
Why did fate play such a trick on him?
"Holy Lord, the Holy Lord has spoken: Even if God Marquis Tiedan enters the palace to explain the collection of the secrets of the ten generals and the garrison of 300,000 troops outside the city, there will be no delay!"
"yes!"
After receiving the oral order, Zhu Wuwu turned around and scolded his subordinates who were kneeling to receive the order: "Look for it quickly!"
"Father, please go to the palace first, we will search for you sleeplessly." Haitang comforted her quickly.
Zhu Wuwu nodded: "Your Majesty, when did you not come to me, why did you come to the palace at this time? It's so unreasonable? Okay, I'll leave this place to you for the time being.
Haitang, you know how important Su Xin is to me!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The current situation did not allow him to delay for a moment.
Half a moment.
Royal study room, entrance.
Zhu Wulan looked calm and walked out of it with a swagger.
Today, his identity is no longer the same, and he no longer needs to assume any humble posture.
The emperor's uncle, the owner of Hulong Villa, is not involved with Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and he is supported by hundreds of officials. Who in the world can do anything to him?
Since the emperor wants a reason, just find one and give it to him.
Cao Zhengchun came up to him and said with a smile: "Honor, long time no see. Today I heard you and the emperor arguing in the study room outside. You are neither humble nor overbearing. It really opened my eyes!"
Zhu ignored his hands and said, "Mr. Cao, I don't know if the deal we agreed on before can still be fulfilled. As long as you give me the news about the third heavenly fragrant cardamom, I can agree to you no matter what the conditions are."
Cao Zhengchun stretched out his orchid finger and looked around him with a smile.
"God, your methods this time really amaze me. If I think about it carefully, if I am still in the position of the governor of the East Factory, what if I have unparalleled martial arts skills? I am afraid that I will be pulled down by you.
To risk death and live later, to retreat in order to advance, it is high, it is really high!"
"Meow meow!" the little yellow cat was dissatisfied.
[Don’t praise others, this cat is also very smart and witty!]
Cao Zhengchun was silent, and after taking three breaths he continued: "Shenhou, do you think I still care about those things with my current martial arts skills?
Even if I wanted to, if I established a 'Wugen Sect' in this palace, I would probably be able to pass it on for hundreds of years like the Shaolin Wudang."
Zhu Wuwu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Indeed, both Brother Wan and Haitang have seen your methods.
However, in this life, you must seek something, and for the sake of my sincerity, even if you ask me to kneel down and kowtow, or even to lick your toes, I will be willing to do so."
Cao Zhengchun was stunned and thought for a long time with his hands behind his back.
"God, when I saw your body with my own eyes that day, to be honest, I was actually quite sad.
I'm thinking, after a few decades, it would be boring if I were the only one left in this world, with no other familiar friends or enemies.
Therefore, I can give you the third heavenly fragrant cardamom, just as you owe me a favor."
