Liu Jin walked briskly along the royal road in the palace. From time to time, eunuchs and maids came to say hello. Liu Jin was now the number one person in the inner court and could not be offended.
"Zong Liu is well"
"Greetings to Ancestor Liu"
"Zuzong Liu looks really good today."
Liu Jin smiled and nodded to all the eunuchs and maids who came to say hello, but without stopping, she walked straight towards Dongnuan Pavilion.
"Wow, Ancestor Liu actually smiled at me. I wonder what he is happy about today."
Inside Dongnuan Pavilion.
"Li Xiang, Jin Yiwei must seize the time to reorganize. Jin Yiwei from all over the country must rotate to the Tianjin camp for training. Before that, Jin Yiwei must first carry out a large-scale purge and remove all the spies in Jin Yiwei. This force must be It is firmly in your hands, and there cannot be any changes. There is one more thing. We can't take care of it in the south now. I'm afraid that just one Li Shuangcheng there will be very weak. All the spies who have been trained are scattered in the south. , especially that Prince Ning, they say he has a big ambition and sent a few more spies to lurk around him!"
"Yes, Commander, my subordinates will take care of these things immediately!"
¡°It¡¯s best that only you know the list of spies, I don¡¯t trust others!¡±
Li Xiang nodded, then picked up the preserved fruit on Li Dong's table and threw it into his mouth. He ate one with great taste. "Commander, what happened in Taiyuan Mansion, Shanxi a few days ago scared those few people half to death. They all followed." Here comes the capital. I heard from the people below that they have been blocking subordinates at the entrance of Jinyiwei Yamen for several days. Marshal, what are the regulations? Do you want your subordinates to appease them? After all, Marshal still expects these people to take care of them. Marshal makes money, doesn¡¯t he?¡±
Li Dong shook his head, "No need. The better you treat those businessmen, the more unruly they will be." Li Dong pondered for a while, "You can calm their minds by arranging some work for them. I forgot something last time." I told them to have more contact with the tribal nobles in the grassland, and then through those nobles, we can understand the trends in the grassland. From now on, our focus will be on the grassland. I boasted to the three great scholars that we will pacify the grassland within ten years. Northern nomads.¡±
Li Xiang smiled slightly, "Commander, do you mean to send the young Jin Yiwei and the caravan into the grassland to gather intelligence?"
"Yes! That's what it means. You must learn to analyze what the Mongols lack, what they value, and when they will invade the Ming Dynasty through the amount of grassland trade"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I will go see the shareholders of Haina Trading Company in a moment and explain to them clearly what Commander-in-Chief means."
At this time, Zhang Hu shouted loudly outside, "Long live Lord, Liu Jin wants to see you!"
Hearing Liu Jin¡¯s request to see him, Li Dong subconsciously wanted to say goodbye. He frowned and thought for a while, then took a deep breath and said, ¡°Pass!¡±
Li Xiang also hated Liu Jin very much, "Commander, I'm annoying him, I'm leaving first." He picked up a plate of preserved fruits on Li Dong's table, held it in his arms and walked out, while Li Dong shouted from behind, " Brat, I haven't eaten yet, but you are quick to act. You must use my things to honor Deputy Wang." Li Xiang chuckled, "Commander, my happiness for the rest of my life depends entirely on this plate of preserved fruit. " At this time, Liu Jin just stepped into Dongnuan Pavilion and saw Li Xiang holding a large plate of preserved fruits in his arms. He immediately recognized that it was carefully prepared for Li Dong by the imperial kitchen. He was filled with envy in his heart and thought that when would our family be able to do the same? So casual with Long Live Lord.
"Slave Liu Jin, please pay homage to Lord Long Live!"
Seeing Liu Jin coming in, Li Dong's face was filled with smiles as if he were doing magic, and he said kindly, "Liu Jin is here, get up!"
Li Xiang nodded towards Li Dong, and then quietly withdrew.
"Long live the Lord, a while ago you told me about adding money to the inner treasury. I already have some clues. This is the statement written by the slave. Please read it!"
Li Dong smiled and nodded, "Liu Jin, you are really loyal to the king. You have become famous so quickly. If all the ministers in the court do things like you, our Ming Dynasty will be extremely prosperous!"
After hearing Li Dong¡¯s compliment, Liu Jin couldn¡¯t help but feel so beautiful. He took out the note he wrote from his sleeve, opened it in front of Li Dong, then bowed and stepped back.
Although Li Dong praised Liu Jin verbally, in his heart he was full of contempt for this old eunuch who smelled like urine. You eunuch knows nothing about how to make money. If you didn't want to set up a brand to divert the attention of the ministers, I would I¡¯ve already cheated on you, so why are I pretending to be in love with you here?
But when Li Dong finished reading the first item, he couldn't stop reading the second and third items. . .
Although Liu Jin was bowing, he glanced at Li Dong with his peripheral vision, and the expression on Li Dong's face could be seen clearly. Just look at the expression??I couldn't tell whether Li Dong was happy or angry.
Slowly, Li Dong put away the smile on his face, then became calm, and finally stood up suddenly, looking at Liu Jin with an incredible expression.
Li Dong carefully read Liu Jin's statement. The entire statement was divided into three strategies: upper, middle and lower. The effectiveness time and results of various plans were written down. The structure was clear and clear, making people understand it at a glance. After reading it, he The word "talent" immediately flashed into his mind, and he had to re-examine Liu Jin. If Liu Jin was really so talented, even though he was greedy for money, it was not an intolerable problem. He quickly detoured from the desk. Liu Jin wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start. He just pressed Liu Jin on the low stool and walked excitedly back and forth in the room, glancing at Liu Jin from time to time.
"Is this all your idea?"
Liu Jin was also shocked. What was the expression of this Long Live Lord? Is Zhang Caibang's idea good or bad? But in a hurry, he didn't allow him to think about so many things. "Yes Long Live Lord But . My slave¡¯s idea may be a bit reckless, please forgive me if it¡¯s inappropriate.¡±
Li Dong frowned slightly and lied. Didn't he come up with this statement? But this is not the focus of the question. The point is that the first two of these three clauses are good strategies for benefiting the country and the people, and the last one is This item also has its significance of the times. Now the officials of the Ming Dynasty are rotten to the core. As long as any official is investigated, he will be able to find out the problem. Even if he wants to kill him, he can't kill them all. Why not use the criminal silver system to get rid of their greedy money? Confiscated into the treasury, Li Dong can use it to do important things. Moreover, this last item has another advantage. From now on, it will be clear who is a corrupt official and who is an upright official.
But why did Liu Jin lie? Is there an expert behind Liu Jin? Someone needs to be sent to check.
Liu Jin was completely confused and sat there at a loss. How could he understand Li Dong's exquisite thoughts.
Suddenly Li Dong shouted "Zhang Hu!"
Zhang Hu immediately stepped in and said, "Your Majesty!" Li Dong handed Liu Jin's statement to Zhang Hu, "Take it to sir! Hurry! After reading it, let sir come to my place!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Hu bowed and accepted the order and went out.
Seeing this situation, Liu Jin was finally relieved. It seemed that Li Dong was very satisfied with his terms. Sure enough, Li Dong moved a low stool and sat not far from Liu Jin, looking at He looked at Liu Jin brightly, "These three articles are very good. I like them very much. You can go ahead and do them! I support you!"
Liu Jin was stunned and stood there in a daze. The three statements he handed to Li Dong actually asked Li Dong to choose one of them. Then he acted according to the rules. If something went wrong, he didn't have to worry about taking any responsibility. , but he never expected that Li Dong would actually mount those three together, which meant that his power would expand unprecedentedly. . . He only felt that his mouth was dry, so he stretched out his tongue to lick his dry lips, and asked uncertainly, "Wan Long live, do we really want the three of us to do it together?"
Li Dong nodded vigorously and said affirmatively, "Not only will the three of us do it together, but you will do it all! I'm not afraid of waiting. Don't say ten years, even twenty or thirty years. I can afford to wait!"
After listening to Li Dong's words, Liu Jin couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Can the emperor's words be understood to mean that he will have power for at least ten years? He immediately couldn't sit still and jumped up as if there was a spring on his buttocks. He knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord Long Live, for your trust. I will definitely do the job beautifully and bring honor to Lord Long Live!"
"Okay! You can use the Piaotian Literature Network now! Start with the crime money. Save some money for me first!"
"Yes, long live the Lord! I will get it done right away." After Liu Jin kowtowed to Li Dong, he left Dongnuang Pavilion happily. Looking at Liu Jin's back, Li Dong's eyes twitched and he slowly put away his smile, "I don't know. Life or death!"
Since Li Dong dismissed several ministers at the coronation ceremony, he has been indifferent to the government affairs. He even spent some time behind closed doors to study peacefully. All affairs in the government were left to the three cabinet ministers to take care of. There was no concern between the government and the public. Feeling the obvious changes between the Zhengde Dynasty and the Hongzhi Dynasty, some ministers even felt that Li Dong was a good emperor. He did not interfere in government affairs and dared to let his ministers do things. However, earth-shaking changes took place in the palace.
The inner court took the lead in implementing a confidentiality accountability system. All eunuchs and maids will receive confidentiality allowances at their respective levels every month. However, the corresponding responsibilities they need to bear are also greater. To put it bluntly, since you have received money, you cannot talk nonsense. , at first many people were not used to it, and still dared to spread the news from the palace to the outside world, but gradually everyone found that these people had disappeared, and there were rumors that all of these people were being detained in the Jinyiwei Prison, and they were charged with conspiracy. They have no chance of making it out alive in this life.More than that, if you don't take the initiative to speak up, there will be Jin Yiwei in disguise to trick you and say that if you can't withstand the temptation, or are stupid enough to be tricked into saying something you shouldn't say, then you will be in big trouble. It is said that Jin Yiwei's prison is being expanded. , because there were too many people to arrest. From then on, no matter who asked the eunuchs and maids about the news in the palace, they would look at each other warily, then cover their mouths and run away.
But. . . On this day, a eunuch carried a vegetable basket into a teahouse. The waiter knew at a glance that he must be the eunuch who bought fresh vegetables for the Shangshan Superintendent. This kind of job was the most enviable in the palace. It was a good way to relax. , secondly, you can get some oil and water by hand. There is a lot of tension in the palace, and if you are not careful, you may be killed by breaking a dish. So when I walked out of the palace, I felt a lot more relaxed. The eunuch was wandering around happily. When he saw the teahouse was crowded, he got in.
"My father-in-law, please come inside quickly. The shop has just brought new tea from the south. Please try it."
"Don't fool me. What's new tea? There is no new tea in the palace. How can you have it?"
The waiter¡¯s lie was exposed and he smiled angrily.
"Make a pot of tea. Don't fool me with the tea leaves. I can drink it!" As he said that, the eunuch didn't go upstairs and sat in the lobby. At this time, there were quite a lot of people in the lobby of the teahouse. Good people in Beijing. Comfortable, you can spend a lot of money to spend a day in a teahouse, which means you can listen to music and storytelling for free.
When everyone saw that the eunuch's clothes were of no class, they all praised him for being a eunuch, so they didn't have any awe. This lazy man came to the eunuch and said, "Eunuch, there has been something going on in the palace recently. If there is any news, tell it and let everyone listen. If you have said it well, this tea is mine." His voice was really not low. Although there was noisy people in the lobby, at least half of the people heard it, and everyone was holding on. Listening to the news, even the singing girl slowly stopped her voice and glanced this way. The news in the palace was the one that attracted the most attention.
Perhaps the eunuch was trying to show off. He glanced at the man with disdain, then looked at the listeners in the lobby who were staring at him, "Do you know about the New Deal?"
"New Deal? What New Deal?"
"Exactly, it doesn't matter if I tell you. Anyway, the New Deal will be published all over the world! Starting from this year, the court will implement the New Deal. This year, the system of deliberation will be implemented. The so-called"
The entire teahouse lobby was silent. Everyone was listening attentively to the eunuch saying that the new policy was about to be promulgated. This was shocking news. I would invite friends later and show the news in front of them. It would definitely scare them. Jump.
Before leaving, the eunuch added, "This new policy was thought up by our Eunuch Liu, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony!"
The eunuch left the tea house, turned a few corners, and after making sure that no one was following him, he lowered his head and entered a dessert shop. When he saw a young man sitting in the middle of the room, he walked forward and knelt down, "Sir, I'm back. !¡±
The young man didn't say anything and concentrated on eating the snacks in his hands. He seemed to be waiting for someone. After a while, a man came in through the curtain. That man turned out to be a lazy man who had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with the eunuch in the teahouse. "Sir, I came back!"
The young man put down the snack plate, picked up a handful of baggage from the table and threw it on the ground. "You two go to Datong to find Jiang Bin. Stay there for a year and come back after one year."
"Yes, sir!" The two of them bowed and accepted the order, picked up their baggage and left.
Li Xiang picked up the snack again, took a bite, and said with a smile, "Commander, I am planning to roast Liu Jin on the fire."
Soon the news spread from the teahouse to the entire capital through various channels. . .
The memorial to impeach Liu Jin flew into the General Affairs Department like snowflakes. . .
