Liu Jin tried hard to control herself from passing out, and vaguely saw a figure followed closely by a group of soldiers who broke open the gate of the inner courtyard and swarmed in.
There was blood flowing on the knife in Zhao Qi's hand, and there was even blood splashing on his body. He led his team into the inner courtyard and saw Liu Jin lying softly on the ground from a distance.
As for the little eunuch whose head was smashed, Zhao Qi didn't take it seriously at all. He was nothing more than a bribed pawn.
However, it was an unexpected surprise that such a chess piece could knock Liu Jin down. Originally, the purpose of buying this little eunuch was to monitor Liu Jin's actions at all times, but they did not expect that the other party would bring them such a big surprise.
Stepping forward quickly, Zhao Qi stopped in front of Liu Jin, and the surrounding soldiers surrounded Liu Jin with weapons in hand.
Liu Jin, who was about to faint, endured the wound in his abdomen and tried hard to open his eyes and look at Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi looked down at Liu Jin and couldn't help but think of Liu Jin's powerful and aloof appearance in the past. Looking at Liu Jin's desolate look now, he felt inexplicably happy in his heart.
"Liu Jin, do you still remember this Governor?"
As a governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, Zhao Qi's official position is really not low, but it is a pity that the military officials have lost their power since the Tumubao Incident.
Originally, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, which was sat and controlled by many military officers and nobles, was slightly more powerful than the Ministry of War, which was controlled by civil servants. However, in the Tumu Fort Incident, a large number of military commanders and noble officers, led by the British Duke Zhang Fu, were killed in the battle. In addition, the civil servants at that time were
One of them, Yu Qian, took charge of the Ministry of War. As a civil servant, he overpowered the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army. From then on, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was almost reduced to a vassal of the Ministry of War.
Zhao Qi was still a high-ranking official in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. Before the Tumubao Incident, he could not even be given the honor of Minister of War, but now he does not even dare to offend a seventh-grade civil servant. Now he has been reduced to the rank of Minister of War.
A thug of the civil servant system.
Liu Jin tried his best to open his eyes and look at Zhao Qi, but he had no impression. After all, the only important officials among the civil and military officials such as Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, and Hu Ming could be remembered by Liu Jin.
Zhao Qi knew just by looking at Liu Jin's reaction that the other party didn't remember him at all. He snorted coldly and kicked Liu Jin, causing Liu Jin to fall to the ground.
"Gundog, you are so brave, you actually dare to plot rebellion!"
Liu Jin, who had fallen to the ground, was immediately shaken after hearing Zhao Qi's words. Even the effect of the drug seemed to have been suppressed a lot. His face was full of horror and he said: "How dare you frame our family.
!”
Zhao Qi had a sinister smile on his face, lowered his head slightly and leaned in front of Liu Jin, staring at Liu Jin and said: "Eunuch Liu, are you afraid that you have forgotten that the governor asked to see you but was beaten with a stick by your order? I didn't expect that.
You will also have today!"
Liu Jin glanced at the soldiers after Zhao stood up and said with a cold smile: "You dare to mobilize troops and horses in the capital without the emperor's order. Aren't you afraid of the emperor's wrath and punishing you with death?"
Zhao Qi said disdainfully: "Eunuch Liu, please don't have any illusions. This Commander-in-Chief's dispatch of troops went through the procedures of the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army. Even His Majesty can't find anything wrong with it!"
Liu Jin couldn't help but shrink his eyes and his heart sank. He didn't expect these people to be so eager to kill him. The other party operated through the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office, so they could really avoid procedural problems.
Just when Liu Jin was distracted, Zhao Qi waved his hand and said, "Come here, search for me. We must find evidence of Eunuch Liu's rebellion!"
Liu Jin watched helplessly as several soldiers walked past him carrying several large boxes. Among them were armor, swords and guns. Especially in one of the boxes, bright yellow dragon robes and jade seals were clearly listed.
Stimulated by this, Liu Jin couldn't help being frightened and angry, spitting out a mouthful of blood, pointing at Zhao Qi and others and gritting his teeth: "You... you are so brave!"
Zhao Qi couldn't help laughing when he saw Liu Jin's frightened and angry look, and said sadly: "Eunuch Liu, don't worry, the governor has prepared everything for you, everything is complete, even if it's you
A real rebellion is enough!"
At this moment, several soldiers who had been carrying them in ran over and said: "Reporting to the Governor, soldiers' armor, swords, guns, dragon robes, and jade seals were found in the secret room of Liu Jin's mansion!"
Zhao Qi looked serious and said: "Seal up all the things. These are evidence of Liu Jin's rebellion. We must not lose any of them no matter what!"
Liu Jin was so angry that she finally passed out due to the drug she had taken.
The location of the Leopard Room. After what happened yesterday, Zhu Houzhao was in a very bad mood for most of the day. He was forced to remove Li Dongyang and Liu Jin from their official positions, which meant that the court was missing a chief minister of the cabinet, and the inner court was missing.
A great steward.
Although it is said that there will be nothing in a short time, the chief minister of the cabinet and the chief ceremonial officer must be selected early, otherwise, if time goes by, there will be chaos in the court.
Zhang Yong carefully waited on the side, handed an exquisite cage to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, this is the parrot that the old slave sent to find. This parrot can talk to people, it is really miraculous..."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but cast his gaze on the exquisite bird cage, in which a colorful parrot was jumping around.
I saw Zhang Yongdao: "Why don't you pay homage to your Majesty soon!"
The colorful parrot immediately said: "Hail, Your Majesty, Hail, Your Majesty..."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, and the eunuchs serving on the side breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Zhu Houzhao's gloomy face finally showed a smile.
Although it is said that Zhu Houzhao rarely punished the servants around him when he was angry, Zhu Houzhao had a gloomy face, and it was impossible for everyone not to feel depressed.
Just when Zhu Houzhao was about to take over the birdcage and tease the parrot, he saw a young eunuch coming in a hurry with a panic look on his face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Upon seeing this, a strange color flashed in Zhang Yong's eyes. Gu Da, who was serving on the side, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, glanced at Zhang Yong, and looked at the little eunuch who was running towards him with a half-smile.
"How dare you, in front of His Majesty, to be so flustered, how unbecoming it is!"
Zhang Yong immediately yelled at the little eunuch. The little eunuch turned pale and fell to his knees. Zhu Houzhao looked at the little eunuch and said, "Why are you so panicked?"
Zhu Houzhao had always been kind to the eunuchs around him, so although the young eunuch was unbecoming, Zhu Houzhao had no intention of blaming him.
The young eunuch said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Yang Tinghe and other adults outside have asked to see Your Majesty for something important, and... and..."
Zhu Houzhao, who was just in a better mood, suddenly felt bad when he heard that Yang Tinghe and others asked for an audience. He instinctively wanted to refuse, but as the emperor, he knew what he should do.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao said: "Send them in."
Staring at the little eunuch, Zhang Yong suddenly said: "You were hesitant just now, but what did you want to deceive Your Majesty?"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at the little eunuch, who hurriedly said: "You sirs seem to be escorting the chief steward here?"
Zhang Yongdao: "Eunuch Liu Jin?"
The little eunuch reacted and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, it is Eunuch Liu Jin!"
Zhu Houzhao's expression changed and he said: "Didn't Liu Daban be ordered by me to stay in the house and think about his mistakes behind closed doors? What do they want to do?"
No matter how slow Zhu Houzhao reacted, he knew that Yang Tinghe and others were unwilling to let it go. Liu Jin must have some information that fell into their hands. However, they dared to seize Liu Jin and come to see him. This shows that these people
The evidence available is enough to put Liu Jin in a permanent danger.
The sound of rapid footsteps was heard, and Zhu Houzhao went to hear the sound, and saw more than a dozen important officials of the court, led by Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, Hu Ming and others, and a group of soldiers escorting the extremely embarrassed Liu Jin, with several large boxes behind them.
Everyone saluted together, Zhu Houzhao looked at Mao Ji and others calmly and said: "Gentlemen, what are you doing? And Liu Daban, why are you acting like this if you don't shut yourself up in the house to think about your mistakes?"
Liu Jin's mouth was gagged and he seemed to have woken up now, but his whole body was limp and weak. When he saw Zhu Houzhao opening his mouth, he couldn't help but struggled fiercely to break away from the soldiers holding him.
It's a pity that his mouth was blocked and he was so weak that he couldn't break free or speak.
At this time, Hu Ming took a step forward and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I have received a secret report. Someone reported that Liu Jin was resentful of Your Majesty and intended to rebel. This matter is of great importance. I did not dare to wait patiently. I asked him immediately.
The Secretary of the Ministry of War and several adults from the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army dispatched soldiers and horses to blockade Liu Jin's residence. As expected, this Liu Jin is really ambitious and unworthy of His Majesty's love for him. He actually hid armor, weapons and a secret dragon in a secret room.
Robe and jade seal, the evidence is conclusive, it is indeed an unpardonable crime against the Nine Clan!"
Several soldiers opened the box containing the dragon robe, jade seal and armor. Zhu Houzhao only took one look, and his expression suddenly became gloomy and ugly.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao looked at Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji and others, and said slowly: "Are you sure this was found from Liu Jin's house?"
Mao Ji, Hu Ming, Yang Tinghe and others looked solemn and said in unison: "I am willing to guarantee with my life that these things were found in the house of the traitor Liu Jin."
Liu Jin struggled violently and screamed, but he could not say a word. He could only glare at Yang Tinghe and others fiercely, with a posture that made him want to rush up and eat them alive.
When looking at Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin was full of injustice and pleading, hoping that Zhu Houzhao could help him get rid of his grievances.
When Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin, there was a bit of unbearable expression on his face. However, at this moment, Hu Ming stepped forward, only one foot away from Zhu Houzhao. His spittle almost hit Zhu Houzhao's face and said loudly: "Your Majesty, why don't you do it?"
Why are you hesitating? Liu Jin, a traitor who has caused harm to the country and the people, and intends to rebel, must be cut into pieces as a warning to those who come after him, otherwise our Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"
