Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh
There is silence in the east warm pavilion of Ganqing Palace.
What a petite!
After hearing Liu Jin say this, Xu Xun still had to shout for Jiao Fang secretly despite his inconvenience with the old guy. To be fair, he was imprisoned and revived these days, and Emperor Hongzhi was a great devastating death. He didn't bother to continue to do the previous incineration that had not been done. But today Wang Yue attacked with such a move, and he immediately reacted and immediately tried Liu Wentai, trying to test the relationship between Jiao Fang and Liu Wentai. His movements were no longer slow, but he was not as fast as Jiao Fang's rapid reaction.
He should have expected that Liu Jin and other internal officials were suppressed in the palace for many years. Now that Zhu Houzhao has been on the ground, how could they give up their plan to build a bridgehead outside?
Sure enough, when Zhu Houzhao heard Liu Jin report that Jiao Fang was willing to propose the first one to reform the morning court system, he couldn't help but be very happy. He immediately nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Jiao Fang is not like Liu Jian and others. He really has eyesight! You go and tell him that he will do this well. After the matter is done, I will remember his contribution!"
“Yes, yes, yes
”
Liu Jin hurriedly bowed down and saw Zhu Houzhao in a good mood. He then coughed again, "But, Jiao Fang also said something. A Juren Di who was in his house had some relationship with Liu Wentai, so Jiao Fang had asked Liu Wentai to see him through him. When he heard that the emperor of the Great Han Dynasty had passed away, he thought that the matter was important and planned to take this person down and send him to Youshi, but today the man suddenly broke into a life lawsuit in the brothel today. He found several letters from under the man's box, many of which were letters from monks and Taoists and others, including the elixirs that talked about the harmony of yin and yang. When the servant left, he had already brought all the letters!"
Liu Jin said as he took out a stack of letters from his arms, looked at Zhu Houzhao's face and submitted them with his hands. When Zhu Houzhao came up and snatched these things, he took out the letter paper without saying a word. He whispered: "In fact, the initiators were Li Guang of the past. At that time, the emperor of Daxing had meditated and refined elixirs. He had taken a lot of various kinds over the years. But he didn't expect that those quack doctors who killed heaven knew that the emperor's fire poison was very strong, but he still used a hot tonic..."
"Stop talking!"
Zhu Houzhao interrupted Liu Jin with gritted teeth, suddenly looked at Xu Xun and asked, "Xu Xun, what do you want to report?"
Xu Xun glanced at Liu Jin and saw that the other party was staring at him. He was moved and bowed and said, "Your Highness, I just went to the prison of the Inner Officials and Supervision Bureau to meet Liu Wentai. He was tortured by those rats and cockroaches. He took everything as soon as he saw me. He said that the elixir that promoted essence and cultivated the essence was given to him by Juren Di. It was for the prescription that was effective in the future. So he gave him 200 taels of gold. Liu Wentai was so confused that he planned to use 3,000 taels of gold to bribe the minister. It can be seen that he has made a lot of money in the Imperial Hospital for many years."
Seeing that although Xu Xun mentioned Di Juren, Liu Jin kept pushing the charges on Liu Wentai, he felt relieved and said, "Three thousand taels of gold, this number is really amazing! If the emperor of the Great Han Dynasty loves His Highness so much, his annual expenses are still worth the cost..."
"A bastard!"
Zhu Houzhao was aroused by Xu Xun and Liu Jin's words in a few words. As soon as he became angry, he simply threw the letters in his hand all over the floor. After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "Xu Xun, have the memorials of the Duke of England and the others going to kill these dogs?"
"It was handed over early in the morning, either in the Silijian or in the cabinet." Xu Xun said, and said, "The article by Duke of England was written by Xu Zhenqing, and other censors of the Taoist sect should have heard the rumor that was released, so they followed the letter with indignation. With this starting point, within three or two days, more people would beg to kill them to sacrifice to the spirit of the Great Emperor in heaven."
"Okay!" Zhu Houzhao burst out with such a word and looked at Liu Jin immediately and said, "Liu Jin, please ask someone to go to the Sili Supervisor and the cabinet to urge them to read today's memorial. They are not allowed to delay! When I get this memorial, I will kill them to vent my anger on my father!"
"Your Highness, the memorial is submitted, but the murder cannot be so fast, not to mention that the coffin of the Emperor Daxing has not moved, and you have not officially entered the prime minister yet."
After Liu Jin persuaded this, he immediately signaled Xu Xun to go side by side with his eyes. Then with his eyes, Xu Xun said, "Your Highness, what you said is that if you want to use this matter to establish your authority, you must follow the rules of the court to avoid being wrong for the elders. Therefore, this matter cannot be tried only by the Jinyiwei. Nobles such as the Duke of England and the elders such as Shangshu Ma must be allowed to join in the trial together. When the dust settles, Your Highness will come forward and make the case come to an end."
"What can't be beaten? Zheng Wang, who was personally tried by the Emperor, has not been killed yet!"
Zhu Houzhao snorted hatefully, and finally reluctantly agreed to the two of them. She frowned and said, "Then let me listen to you both. I will wait patiently for a while... I understand why my father is always so tired. It's all these rules and regulations all day long. This emperor is more tired than a dog!"
Xu Xun and Liu Jin both knew the truth and did not speak anymore. When they both left the East Nuan Pavilion together, Xu Xun was about to leave, but Liu Jin suddenly stopped him.
"I said Brother Xu, I'll just invite Eunuch Gao to go for a trip to the Silijian. Next, I'm just free. You may enjoy the whole house and sit in my little house for a while. Don't worry, if you don't drink or eat meat, you won't be impeached. If you want to say that my old Liu's skills are not inferior to Mr. Ling Zun, I'll make a few side dishes for you. It's better to eat big pot meals in this palace all day long, right?"
Xu Xun had the intention to sneak back home to see his father and the little girl, but Liu Jin drove like this. He thought for a moment and agreed. Liu Jin was happy when he heard this. He went to Gao Feng to convey Zhu Houzhao's instructions, and immediately changed his clothes and came out of the palace from the Bei'anmen Gate of Xuanwu Gate.
Liu Jin's house was very small. As soon as he entered the door, he ordered his two little boys to take Xu Xun in and sit. Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and planned to go to the kitchen himself. Xu Xun was about to have a lot of things about Liu Jin's purpose of inviting him to come, so he would not be willing to sit in the hall.
He simply followed Liu Jin in. Seeing that the man who was now gradually showing his strength was chopping the green onions quickly, he then cut the washed dried tofu into pieces and put them on a plate. He opened a large oil pan for a while, and a bowl of steaming dried tofu was already delivered to his eyes.
"You can think of eating Jingyuan onions on hot days."
"I just need to eat it in a hot day, and sweating will make you feel good!" Liu Jin smiled and signaled Xu Xun to taste it first. When he saw him picking up chopsticks, he was full of praise. His sweaty face suddenly turned redder. "I remember when I first entered the palace, I had nothing, and I had no meat to eat, and I was not allowed to make fire at will. I just hang out in Shangshenjian for a while and then realized that those good things were given to nobles. Even if I had learned a few skills, the tofu was well made, and the taste was similar to meat. Now I finally made it. I guess from now on, I will cook less and less. After all, there are fewer people who can wash my hands and make soup."
When Liu Jin actually said that washing hands and making soup, Xu Xun couldn't help but smile. He thought that the old eunuch was fine and used allusions, so he was too lazy to order them. It was a beautiful woman's patent.
He just smiled and said, "So, I'm having a good time today? Since you have this skill, why don't you reveal yourself in front of Tailongzi Hall?"
"If you show your skills, I won't be able to calm down. After all, Your Highness is so sarcastic. You have to let me cook for you every day. Should I do anything else? Besides, cooking is just for freshness. Why should I block someone else's way to present delicious food to the East Palace? So Your Highness got a position with a lot of internal officials in one sentence. It's different for Old Master Lingzun. Fortunately, it's your father, otherwise Your Highness would have thought about how to get people to the palace."
Liu Jin said and wiped his hands, then went to pack up three vegetarian dishes, and finally asked the little boy to put the table in the main hall, and he went to the yard to wipe his face with well water. When he pulled Xu Xun into the room and sat down, he personally brewed a pot of tea to pour it for the two of them, and then he raised the teacup and respected Xu Xun.
"I'm using tea instead of wine today. Thank you for saving me a face in front of the palace. To be honest, Jiao Fang looked for me several days ago, but I haven't found a chance. Who knew that when I said today, you happened to have tried Liu Wentai. I still wanted to say a few more words to that old boy just now, and I was in vain. In the end, you were kind-hearted!"
This is not the first time that Xu Xun has been praised as kind-hearted. Her face has already reached a certain thickness, and she has not had a trace of redness at this moment, so she smiled and responded to Liu Jin.
Almost at the same time as Liu Jin, he put down the teacup and said, "It's not that I'm kind, it's just that you, Old Liu, are you. Jiao Fang and I didn't have any conflicts at first. He was plotting against me again and again, so I was a little inconsistent with him. Since there was a chance today, if it weren't for Old Liu, I originally planned to give him a good-looking one."
Liu Jin also heard similar things from Jiao Fang. As for the quarrels, Jiao Fang stammered and didn't say in detail, so how could Xu Xun confess? In front of him, he thought that he and Xu Xun had always been good, and selling face as someone else was always a good person. Now that Xu Xun really said he would sell his face, he was naturally extremely happy and immediately grinned.
"Brother Xu, you are quick-talking, you are more refreshing than Jiao Fang! Actually, I don't like him much. He is the Minister of Personnel after all. We are all people who follow His Highness Tai Chi, and we can't talk about any foundation in the court. If you bring someone over to His Highness Tai Chi, you will be more refreshing in doing things for His Highness Tai Chi! In this way, no matter how he offended you, I will ask him to apologize to you!"
"It's not necessary to apologize. As long as Mr. Jiao plots against me a few times, I will burn the incense of Amitabha!"
Xu Xun said this, and Liu Jin immediately smiled, persuaded tea and food, and immediately came closer and whispered: "It's not me, Liu Jin, that you are the prince of Xing'an, and I, Old Liu, are also of great numbers in front of Taiyuanzi Hall. Jiao Fang's qualifications are only one step away from entering the pavilion. With each other's help, it will be easier for everyone to go this way, right? His Highness Taiyuanzi is going to ascend to the foundation, but we are in a shallow foundation, so it is important to hug it into a ball first. As for Jiao Fang, we will stand firm in the future and kick him away is not a problem!"
