    No matter how the officials in the capital stir up trouble, they will eventually control the disturbance within the capital city. From the time he entered the court to the present, there have been too many memorials to impeach Qin Kan overtly or covertly.  , a small mountain can be built at the minimum. The crimes in the memorial are as big as harming the country and wronging the emperor, as small as wearing a crooked belt during the morning court. The total number of big and small crimes is no less than a thousand, and all of them are well-founded and full of literary talent.  .

    Qin Kan had never paid much attention to the impeachment within the capital, because the water in the capital court was too muddy, and it was not too difficult to get out. Qin Kan had been in the court for many years, and he always had a few civil servant allies to let them  After a few stirs, the water became muddier. The father said it was right, and the mother-in-law said it was right. The quarrel was so intense that the big thing was resolved.

    However, once the matter spread to local officials and guards, the nature became serious. Even though Qin Kan had great power, his influence was only in the capital. This was similar to Zhu Houzhao's imperial power. When orders were issued to the imperial court, only the imperial court and the emperor were obeyed locally.  For local officials, their status is only part of the imperial court, so there has been a saying among the people since ancient times that "the sky is high and the emperor is far away".

    Qin Kan, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, also had the same identity, so when the impeachment memorials from the local government rushed into the capital at the same time as if they had been agreed, Qin Kan immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. He knew that the moment Tu Qiong dagger saw him, he would  arrive.

    The night before the first court meeting of the new year, Ding Shun, who had traveled to the coast of Zhejiang, finally rushed back to the capital after a long journey. At midnight, the side door of the Qin Mansion quietly opened a crack, and Ding Shun rushed in like a nimble fish.  No one knew what Qin Kan said to his most trusted subordinate. An hour later, Ding Shun left the Qin Mansion with murderous intent.

    At three o'clock in the morning, a large group of officials and nobles gathered in front of the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial Palace early. The first court meeting of the new year was about to begin. The square that was supposed to be filled with joy and greetings to each other for the new year was completely silent today. Many people looked up impatiently.  Calculating the time based on the direction of the stars, waiting for the bells of the Bell and Drum Tower to ring. In the silence, murderous intent rushed into the sky. It was like a butcher's party. Everyone was sharpening their knives in their hearts and gritting their teeth as they waited for the arrival of the pigs and sheep.

    Everyone's expressions were solemn. They knew how terrifying the enemy they were facing today was, and how arrogant Liu Jin was at the beginning. But in the end, he was quietly plotted by this low-key and low-key prince. Not only did he fall,  There is even no body left intact.

    "Feng Shui has turned, and there are no permanent friends in the court. The ally who led everyone to kill the powerful traitors has now become the target of everyone's killing. And this enemy with a gentle appearance and a vicious heart is far more difficult to deal with than Liu Jin.

    No matter how difficult it is to deal with, we must deal with it. Everyone's bottom line has always been clear. They can allow a powerful person to participate in their game, but they will never allow this person to use his power to break the rules that have been set. Once he challenges the rules, he will have to face  Yes, it is the desperate counterattack of the entire interest group.

    Chengtianmen Square, where thousands of people gathered, was silent, like a silent volcano, boiling hot and lava was ready to move in silence, and was about to erupt, destroying the world and destroying the world.

    In the crowd, Cao Yuan, the left minister of the Ministry of War, walked back and forth calmly and calmly, stroking his short beard with one hand and holding it behind his back with the other. He looked like a dignified official of the imperial court. He passed by the courtiers and exchanged understandings with each other.  eyes.  After walking back and forth in the square for a few steps, many people, including Cao Yuan, gradually frowned.

    " Something is wrong. Today is the New Year's meeting. According to the regulations, all officials in Beijing must participate, but why are there so many officials such as the Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Ministry of Affairs that are missing for no reason?  These people are the main force in today's imperial struggle. Without them, would Cao Yuan have to perform a one-man show by himself?

    The sky was still dark, and four crisp sounds were heard from the cloud board inside the palace gate, indicating that it was Yin hour.

    I don¡¯t know when thick fog rose around the square. In the cold days of early spring, thick fog is really rare. Among the crowd gathered by ministers, there were people who were proficient in the Book of Changes. They frowned and huddled in the sleeves of their robes.  He did some calculations with his fingers, and then his expression was shocked, and his face became even more ugly.

    In the thick fog, an official sedan came slowly and landed at the edge of the square. The curtain of the sedan was opened, and Qin Kan, who was wearing a python robe with a jade belt around his waist, stepped out of the sedan. He always had a gentle and harmless expression on his face.  Smile, like an eminent monk who has achieved enlightenment, forgetting all the favors and disgrace in the world, and remains calm.

    In the morning mist, Qin Kan appeared in front of everyone with firm steps, the smile on his face remained the same, and he would never compromise.

    There was a silence that was quieter than death. Everyone stared at him. That smile as warm as the spring breeze looked so mysterious, but the truth behind the smile was hidden in the thick fog, making it impossible to fathom.

    "Happy New Year everyone"

    Qin Kan smiled and groanedHe bowed his hands in front of everyone without any fireworks, he was elegant and personable, and he was more of a gentleman than a gentleman.

    ??????????????????????????????????.

    Zhang Yongzheng, the chief seal officer of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, personally changed Zhu Houzhao's dragon robe. This was supposed to be the job of the personal chamberlain, but Eunuch Zhang, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, stepped in. How could the eunuch and the eunuch dare to say no?  I can only step aside obediently.

    Zhang Yong¡¯s movements are not as rough as his appearance. Instead, he is as gentle as a lady waiting to write. His big hands are warm and dry. Occasionally they brush against Zhu Houzhao¡¯s face, giving him a warm and comfortable feeling.

    "Zhu Houzhao in the bronze mirror has red lips and white teeth, and a graceful manner. He has the appearance of a handsome young man. But today in the mirror, there is a hint of deep sadness between his eyebrows.

    Standing quietly in front of the tall bronze mirror, letting Zhang Yong work in front of and behind him, Zhu Houzhao suddenly sighed heavily and said: "Zhang Yong, this is not a good test today. I have heard the news.  Those guys from Ting are afraid that they will put Qin Kan to death today"

    Zhang Yong, who is now in a high position, still has a flattering look in front of Zhu Houzhao. There is a bit of uprightness in the flattery. He can control his expression freely. He knows that Zhu Houzhao is good at this.

    "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Taking care of your dragon body is the most important thing. Mr. Qin has a rosy face and a round sky. No matter how I look at him, I don't think he looks like a short-lived person. Mr. Qin is a good person. God will help him overcome all adversities.  of."

    Zhu Houzhao sighed: "Don't say these words to offend me. Today's court meeting is unusual. I can smell the murderous aura of the ministers from all the way across the imperial city. They are here with bad intentions"

    Zhang Yong said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Speaking of it, Mr. Qin is also an old minister of our East Palace. When Your Majesty was still the prince, the old slave had a good relationship with him. Although the old slave is an eunuch, he is not a brother but a brother. Now Qin  How can I stand by and watch when my father-in-law is in trouble?"

    Zhu Houzhao was very pleased when he heard this. His eyes looked at Zhang Yong with a hint of gratitude. Zhang Yong was shocked and had a deeper understanding of Qin Kan's position in Zhu Houzhao's heart. Thinking about Dai Yi's relationship with him a few days ago,  His words made him feel very happy.

    That guy Dai Yi was indeed right. Standing on Qin Kan's side at this time will definitely please His Majesty. The issue of siding with one another is indeed very important. Even though he cannot save Qin Kan this time, he has already gained a lot of points in His Majesty's heart. It is simply  A good deal with profit and no loss

    "Zhang Yong, you said you didn't want to stand by and watch, but what did you do for Qin Kan?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

    Zhang Yong suddenly showed a slightly exaggerated and embarrassed expression. After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly took two steps back and knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao, kowtowed three times, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so expert. I did it."  One wrong thing really deserves death"

    "what have you done?"

    "Old slave I couldn't see those civil servants bullying Mr. Qin by relying on their numbers, so I handed a note to Dai Yi in Dongchang last night and charged him with "slandering you".  All the twenty-four supervisory censors who are discussing matters in Chen Hong's mansionare all being sent to the imperial edict" Zhang Yong paused, then knocked his head heavily on the ground, and followed in a long voice.  The waiter in the restaurant said loudly like a waiter: "This old slave acted poorly and acted arrogantly. I beg your Majesty to forgive me¡ª¡ª"

    Zhu Houzhao was stunned and stared blankly at the bronze mirror. The dim palace lantern in the bronze mirror reflected the figure of Zhang Yong lying on the ground begging for mercy behind him. Zhu Houzhao stared at the bronze mirror for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter, and then the laughter became louder and louder.  He couldn't stop leaning forward and backward, and finally bent down, holding his belly and laughing wildly.

    Zhang Yong had a look of guilt and remorse on his face, but he was extremely proud in his heart. He knew that he had made the right bet. Even if he did something outrageous, as long as his motive was on Qin Kan's side, His Majesty would definitely  He will not be punished.

    As for the supervisory censors who were taken to the imperial prison, they were taken as they were. Anyway, it was Dongchang who came forward in this matter. Besides, after today's critical moment, no matter whether Qin Kan can be saved or not, they will be released tomorrow.  Yes, I have done enough to show my kindness to His Majesty. Whether I can save Qin Kan or let those censors go is irrelevant to the overall situation.

    Zhu Houzhao laughed for a long time, with tears splashing everywhere. After a long time, he held his belly and screamed, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!  You are too familiar with that guy Qin Kan, you learned all these bad habits from him, right?"

    Zhang Yong laughed along with him, arched his waist and slapped himself gently, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right, I also think that I used to be a decent person, but I don't know when I did such a useless thing.  Don't worry, Your Majesty, those censors, I will wait until the old slave releases them after today. I think Mr. Qin will have saved the day tomorrow."

    Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "You did a good job.If the ministers want to impeach you, I will help you stop it, but you did this more nonsense than me, so I won't do it again.  "

    "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness¡ª¡ª"
