The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 387
After all, the Son of Heaven is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and it is not realistic to rely on brute force to change it. It is more appropriate to subtly influence his thinking.

Too much is too late, Xie Shen doesn't want the provocative Zhengde to go astray completely.

After all, in the original history, this ridiculous boy took a series of actions in retaliation because he was stimulated by too many civil officials, all for the civil officials to see.

After Xie Shen's earnest persuasion, Emperor Zhengde finally realized that although he did not abolish the East and West factories, he also admonished Liu Jin and Gu Dayong.

This can be seen as a compromise to the civil servants.

As for the civil servants who wrote the letter, they were divided into two factions.

A subdued silence.One group of radicals reported illness and returned home.

Xie Qian actually didn't want to become an official, but he was the second assistant to the cabinet, and he had to show his attitude, otherwise the civil servants would have to poke his back.

Now that the emperor has given him face and sincerity, Xie Qian will naturally go downhill and stay in the cabinet.

As for some stunned youths who have just entered the officialdom, who don't know how to mediate, and continue to write letters angrily, the emperor is too lazy to take care of them.

Without reaching that position, speaking is completely worthless.

However, after the turmoil in the first year of Zhengde subsided, Chaozhongduan was calm for a while.

Until November, the situation changed suddenly.

On the 29th, Liu Jinjiao, the admiral of Dongchang, dismissed Han Wen, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

Then Liu Jin made a false edict to send Hanwen to prison.

This can be said to be blatant revenge.After all, it was the Eight Tigers who initiated a joint letter of impeachment by Hanwen.

Seeing that Han Shangshu was about to be killed by Liu Jin, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang discussed the rescue method with Xie Shen in the cabinet.

Xie Shen was really helpless in his heart.He thought that his persuasion could turn Emperor Zhengde's sex.But who knows that the emperor just admonished the eight tigers a few words, and did not take away their authority.Now Jin Yiwei is no longer as powerful as the Hongzhi Dynasty, and has been completely reduced to an appendage of Dongchang.

In fact, the admiral of the East Factory also served as the commander of Jinyiwei.

In this case, Hanwen's falling into the imperial prison is tantamount to letting Liu Jin be slaughtered.

Of course Xie Shen didn't want to see the tragedy happen, the best way right now is to confront the emperor and expose Liu Jin's atrocities.

"Siming, this matter depends entirely on you."

"Don't worry, Lord Xiya, I will do my best to rescue Han Butang."

Xie Qian also said: "It's not that we two old bones don't want to contribute, but His Majesty doesn't want to see us. If we go, we will harm Han Shangshu."

Xie Shen nodded and said: "The two elders said yes, I will go to face the saint right now."

Emperor Zhengde was very playful after he ascended the throne, and he could not guarantee to go to court on time.

In this way, how the courtiers met the emperor became a problem.

The cabinet members are a little bit better. After all, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Xie Shen, and Jiao Fang have all been granted privileges by the emperor, and they can enter and leave the palace and enjoy the privilege of riding horses.

But he said that Xie Shen left the cabinet and rode to the outside of Qianqing Palace.

After the notification, Gu Dayong came out from the Qianqing Palace.

Seeing that Gu Dayong was on duty, Xie Shen was overjoyed.

"Eunuch Gu, let me know quickly, I want to meet His Majesty."

The relationship between the two did not break because of the impeachment of the Eight Tigers, because Xie Shen handled this matter very properly.

But Gu Dayong frowned and said: "If so, Mr. Xie Ge came to the wrong place. Your Majesty is not in Qianqing Palace."

Xie Shen was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Gu Dayong would not go into details if someone else was around, but Xie Shen and his relationship can be described as close, so he naturally knows everything.

"Little Xie Pavilion doesn't know something. Liu Jin bewitched His Majesty to build many shops and brothels in the palace, and asked eunuchs and maids to pretend to be shopkeepers and prostitutes, so that His Majesty could have fun. Now His Majesty enjoys it all day long."

Xie Shen can hear that Gu Dayong is also very dissatisfied with Liu Jin, and it seems that the internal cracks in the Eight Tigers are also very big, and if they can be exploited, there may be unexpected results.

Today, Emperor Zhengde has not built a leopard house in Xiyuan, so entertainment and living are still in the Forbidden City.

It's just that Xie Shen doesn't know where the emperor's joy is in the palace.

"Can Eunuch Gu tell you where His Majesty is staying?"

Gu Dayong sighed and said: "Originally our family shouldn't say such things, but this guy Liu Jin has done too much, our family can't stand it anymore."

After a short pause, Gu Dayong continued: "It's in the northeast corner of the imperial garden."

Xie Shen Chong Gu Dayong cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you very much."

After speaking, he rode his horse and went to the imperial garden again.

It has to be said that Emperor Zhengde was extremely creative.

When Xie Shen came to the Imperial Garden, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw row upon row of shops lined up, and all kinds of "vendors" on the simulated street were shouting hard.

Naturally, these were not real traders, but eunuchs dressed up.

I saw a young man in a plain robe surrounded by a group of attendants, buying in front of a rouge shop.

This person is not the emperor who is!

Xie Shen shook his head, stepped forward a few steps and saluted the emperor, "Chendongge University scholar Xie Shen pays homage to His Majesty."

When Emperor Zhengde saw Xie Shen coming, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Sir, are you here? There are no rulers or ministers here, so be casual."

"Your Majesty, I heard that Liu Jin ordered Han Wen, Minister of the Household Department, to be imprisoned. Is this His Majesty's order?"

Emperor Zhengde was taken aback when he heard it, and said in a deep voice, "Is there such a thing?"

Xie Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this is indeed Liu Jin's hypocrisy.

That's easy.If Zhengde really made up his mind to kill Hanwen, even the gods would not be able to save him.

"Your Majesty doesn't know?"

Xie Shen shook his head and said, "Poor Han Butang, who is dedicated to serving the public, unexpectedly suffered such revenge from Liu Jin."

At this moment, Liu Jin should be interrogating Han Wen in the imperial prison, so he can't wait by the emperor's side, so Xie Shen has a time difference.

In fact, if Liu Jin was in the Imperial Garden, Xie Shen probably wouldn't have the chance to get close.

"I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in it. Do you think Liu Jin would do such a rebellious thing?"

Correction is a super felony, similar to treason.Even if Liu Jin is deeply favored by Zhengde, if the crime is committed, he will probably die without a place to bury him.

"Yes or no, His Majesty will know when he goes to the prison."

Xie Shen gritted his teeth and said this sentence.He knew that with Zhengde's favor and trust in Liu Jin, it would be impossible to save the situation if he didn't make ruthless moves.Only if Zhengde saw him with his own eyes would he believe it.

If the emperor changed to someone else, he would definitely reprimand Xie Shen.

After all, Jinyiwei Imperial Prison is too dark, how can the emperor condescend to go there when he is the Ninth Five-Year King.

But this emperor happened to be Zhu Houzhao.This man is very playful, thinking that going to prison is very interesting, so he waved his hands and said: "In that case, I will follow Mr. to take a look."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Xie Shen flattered and said suddenly, "I have thanked Your Majesty on behalf of Han Butang."
