The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 400 The sky has changed (third update)
The fact that Liu Jin was dismissed and sent to be the admiral of the East Factory spread instantly within the court and outside the court.

Although Liu Jin served as the eunuch of Shangbao Supervisor instead, it was not too ugly in face.But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Jin has fallen out of favor.

As the saying goes, one emperor has one courtier, but in the Ming Dynasty, whenever the dynasty changes, there are three positions that must be changed.One is the chief assistant of the cabinet, the other is the admiral of Dongchang, and the third is the commander of Jinyiwei.

The prince Zhu Houzhao practiced Zuo, and Liu Jin was immediately promoted to the admiral of the East Factory, which is enough to show the emperor's trust in Liu Jin.

But Liu Jin hadn't stayed in the position of factory owner for a year before he was transferred away, which was enough to show that his family was gone.

Most of the officials who had succumbed to Liu Jin's despotic power in the past stepped forward and stomped hard on Eunuch Liu.

Although it is indecent to add insult to injury, it depends on who you are dealing with.To deal with a power eunuch like Liu Jin, there is nothing to be deeply responsible for, even if he makes trouble.

In addition, Xie Shen, one of the three giants in the cabinet, wrote a letter listing Liu Jin's ten crimes, which can be regarded as launching a general attack on Liu Jin.

Liu Jin had already planned to take the initiative to write a letter requesting to retire in Nanjing, but he never thought that these civil servants would be so vindictive and cost his life.

Fortunately, Tianzi Zhengde thought of his past love and care, and directly dismissed Xie Shen's memorandum.

But the civil servants' counter-offensive has already started, so how could they stop there.

After Xie Shen wrote the letter, Li Dongyang, the first assistant, and Xie Qian, the second assistant, the other two giants in the cabinet also wrote letters one after another, asking the emperor to severely punish Liu Jin.

Now, in terms of momentum, Emperor Zhengde was completely suppressed.

Although he wanted to excuse Liu Jin, but the three grand scholars in the cabinet wrote letters at the same time, even the emperor couldn't stand it.

Soon, the emperor removed Liu Jin Shangbao from the position of eunuch.

As soon as this signal came out, it showed that the emperor had completely given up on Liu Jin.

Although Liu Jin used it smoothly, he did make too many mistakes in principle, and Emperor Zhengde was powerless to protect him even if he wanted to.

Liu Jin once again wrote a letter requesting to go to Nanjing for the elderly. This time the emperor did not refuse again, but directly agreed.

Although the officials repeatedly objected, thinking that it was too light to deal with Liu Jin in this way, the emperor acted arbitrarily on this matter and did not give the civil servants a chance to comment.

Politics is constant mediation, and this result is not unacceptable to civil servants.

They also had no intention of completely angering the new emperor, after all, is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers on the coast of the land.

Although this gentleman is a bit absurd and uninhibited, he is also a gentleman.

Disobedience to the monarch is a serious crime comparable to treason, and it will even bring disaster to the family.

The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty obviously had not yet awakened to the point of disregarding the family's personal interests for the sake of the country.After all, they are all here for the sake of riches and honor, so it's good to have a good meaning. If you really want to annoy the emperor, everyone will have no good fruit to eat.

Moreover, didn't the three bigwigs in the cabinet not continue to persist?

Those who play politics must know how to accept as soon as they are good, and the end result of blindly insisting on their own opinions can only be to mislead others and themselves.

Being as strong as Liu Jin's will fall as soon as he says it, which makes people feel embarrassed.

The other seven of the eight tigers kept a low profile, for fear of repeating Liu Jin's mistakes.

In particular, Ma Yongcheng, who succeeded Liu Jin as the admiral of the Xindong Factory, was even more of a man with his tail between his legs. Instead of sending out a large number of people to monitor the officials like Liu Jin, he frequently showed his favor to senior officials of the ministry.

In this general environment, it is not easy for the civil officials to kill the other seven tigers.After all, if you don't reach out to hit the smiling face, they don't have the seven tigers in their hands, so it's not easy to go into battle naked.

The confrontation between the civil servants and the Eight Tigers, which lasted for nearly a year, came to an end, and the Emperor Zhengde was "honest" for a while, until February of the second year of Zhengde, under the instigation of Qian Ning, a thousand household of Jin Yiwei, the emperor could not bear it again. Lonely decided to build a Leopard House in the northwest of the imperial city.

And Qian Ning was appreciated by the emperor because of his great efforts in the construction of the leopard house. In just a few months, he replaced Liu Jin, the original Quanyi, as the emperor's favored minister. Fusi.

After the Leopard House was built, the emperor simply moved out of the Forbidden City to live in the Leopard House.

Emperor Zhengde went in and out with Qian Ning, and fell asleep on Qian Ning's arm when he was drunk.The emperor also gave Qian Ning the national surname, and Qian Ning also called himself the emperor's concubine, which shows his arrogance.

At this moment, many civil servants only realized later that Qian Ning was better than Liu Jin, if not worse.

They are driving tigers by the front door and attracting wolves by the back door.

The Leopard House is not only the emperor's palace, but also raises countless rare birds and beasts, monks and actors, making the imperial city smoky.

What's more, in order to please the emperor, Qian Ning kidnapped many women into the leopard house for the emperor's enjoyment.The emperor was originally a hot-blooded young man, and it was the time when the dragon and the tiger were fierce, how could he stand such a temptation.It is true that from then on the king did not go to court early.

All the officials were heartbroken, and while crying and admonishing outside the Leopard Room, they went to Wenyuan Pavilion to express their feelings, hoping that the elders of the pavilion could find a way to guide the words and deeds of the father.

As the chief assistant, Li Dongyang is naturally duty-bound to do such things.On behalf of the cabinet, he wrote a memorial and sent it to the Leopard Room, but there was no news of it.

Emperor Zhengde's more playful behavior was considered by the officials as revenge for their criticism of Liu Jin.Anyway, the sky is big and the earth is big, and the emperor is the biggest. If the emperor wants to build a palace, the courtiers have no good reason to refute it.

Even if it is refuted, it must be from the perspective of saving the treasury's salary, otherwise it will actively break the rules of the monarch and his subjects.

At this time of crisis, Li Dongyang naturally put his hope on Xie Shen.

After all, it was Xie Shen's overall planning and arrangement to defeat Liu Jin.

Facts have proved that Xie Shen's play hard to get is very effective.Liu Jin was so confident that she couldn't recognize the form in front of her.

If heaven wants to kill a person, it must first make it mad.

Liu Jin lost on this point.

On that day, when the cabinet was on duty to handle government affairs, Li Dongyang took the initiative to find Xie Shen, hoping that Xie Shen could repeat his old tricks.

But Xie Shen shook his head and rejected this possibility.

"Mr. Xi Ya, this Qian Ning is different from Liu Jin. You can't deal with him the same way you deal with Liu Jin."

Xie Shen said unhurriedly: "Qian Ning is His Majesty's adoptive son now, if we attack him directly, wouldn't it hurt the royal family's face?"

Li Dongyang frowned and said, "Siming, Qian Ning, the emperor's concubine, was appointed by him himself, so he doesn't count."

Xie Shen sighed: "No. Whether the adopted son is counted or not is not due to Qian Ning, but to His Majesty. His Majesty now trusts Qian Ning to the point of sleeping together and getting drunk together. It is not impossible to recognize Qian Ning as the adopted son."

Xie Qian, who was watching the memorial, said suddenly: "Then what should we do? According to Siming, if Qian Ning doesn't rebel, can't he be punished?"

Xie Shen smiled wryly, "I'm afraid it's true."
