Zhengde is a person who comes to whatever he wants. After seeing the Journey to the West that Zhang Yong sent someone to him, he immediately arrested him and read it, regardless of everyone drinking. However, Liu Jin and the others have long been used to Zhu Houzhao's temperament, and even more

He didn't dare to disturb him, so he sat there waiting one by one, and no one dared to leave without authorization.

Unfortunately, Zhu Houzhao is born with a very reluctance to reading. Even though he likes the content of Journey to the West, he feels uncomfortable after reading it for a while. He pointed to one of the eight tigers and said, "Great use, come and give it to me."

When I read, my eyes hurt."

"I obey the order!" Gu Dayong saw Zhu Houzhao name and asked him to study, and immediately smiled and walked up to pick up the book and read it. This made Liu Jin and others very dissatisfied, and Zhang Yong was even more fierce.

He glared at Gu Dayong. He obviously found Journey to the West, but his errands of studying fell on Gu Dayong, and he made him get a bargain.

Zhengde sat there listening to Gu Dayong's reading. From time to time, he picked up the wine glass and tasted the wine. His eyes narrowed, and he seemed to enjoy it. Fortunately, he had not forgotten Liu Jin and others in the end, so he raised his hand to look at him.

After waved his hand, Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and others understood and stood up one by one and retreated from the hall. Only Gu Dayong's reading sound was left echoing in the hall.

Liu Jin strode out of the hall, but at this moment, he suddenly found that Zhang Yong, who was following him, suddenly took a few steps, and then stepped out of the hall with him. This made Liu Jin very angry and turned his head and fiercely

Glazed Zhang Yong a few times. The hierarchy in the palace was very strict, especially among eunuchs and palace maids. He could show his status with every word and action. Now Zhang Yong was standing side by side with him. This was obviously for him.

Challenge of the status of the head of the tiger.

Compared to Liu Jin's anger, Zhang Yong showed a lot of relaxation. Even the moment he walked out of the hall, he took a little step, which made him walk out of the hall in front of Liu Jin, and then smiled proudly at Liu Jin.

He turned around and left without looking back, which made Liu Jin tremble even more angry.

Gao Feng and the other five people following Liu Jin and Zhang Yong also saw the small movements of Liu Jin and Zhang Yong in front, but they all looked at each other tacitly and smiled. No one said anything. Liu Jin was the eight of them before.

The head is right, but since Liu Jin took power, he has become much more domineering. He takes all the benefits on himself, but they can only eat some leftovers. They are all among the eight tigers, so Zhang Yong and Gao Feng and others naturally

They were not convinced. Now Zhang Yong jumped out to fight with Liu Jin, and the rest were all happy to watch jokes.

Liu Jin looked at Zhang Yong who was leaving quickly in front of him, and turned around and looked at Gao Feng and others who were lowering their heads. However, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which made Liu Jin even more angry. He shook his sleeves and was cold.

He snorted and turned around and left.

"Bao! Zhang Yong, a martial artist, dares to humiliate the family so much today, and he will be rewarded with a hundred times the time in the future!" Liu Jin, who had just returned from the palace, angrily slapped the table and cursed in a luxurious mansion in Xizhimen, Beijing.

Although Liu Jin was an eunuch, he did not usually live in the palace, but built a mansion outside the palace. Now Emperor Zhengde does not care about the affairs and leaves all government affairs to Liu Jin for handling. Even when he occasionally attends court, he is a minister.

They all saluted the emperor first and then saluted Liu Jin. Therefore, they were called "Emperor Lidi" in the court and the public, and the mansion he lived in was even called "Emperor Lidi's Mansion" by people who were good at it.

In the hall of the Emperor's Mansion, in addition to Liu Jin losing his temper, there was a middle-aged man in his forties sitting on the chair next to him. The middle-aged man was white, black and bearded and upright in his facial features, and he looked very elegant.

, However, as the saying goes, people should not behave like appearance. This elegant middle-aged man is Sun Cong, the real murderer behind the frame-up of Wang Lun, and is also Liu Jin's brother-in-law, and Liu Jin's most capable assistant.

I saw Sun Cong looking at Liu Jin venting the anger in his heart almost, then smiled and said, "Brother, Zhang Yong is just a martial artist, he is just a bit arrogant and domineering with His Majesty's favor, and he has something to domineering with such a person.

What's so angry?"

Hearing the words of his brother-in-law Sun Cong, Liu Jin sat down angrily, picked up the teacup and drank it all. Then he gasped and said, "You haven't seen Zhang Yong's arrogant look today, isn't it just a set of things.

Is it broken? I almost made him lift his tail to the sky. Unfortunately, the job of studying in the end was cheaper, hahaha~”

When Liu Jin said the above words, his expression on his face looked like a resentful woman who was abandoned. However, when it comes to Zhang Yongxian's book, Gu Dayong took away the book and his closeness to His Majesty, he couldn't help but feel close to His Majesty.

He turned anger into joy, and even laughed out loud with gloating.

Sun Cong had long been accustomed to the relationship between Liu Jin and Zhengde. In fact, although the Eight Tigers are powerful, their power comes from the Emperor behind them, which also made Liu Jin and the others happy in different ways.

After all, whoever can win the favor of His Majesty will have greater power, so Bahu and the concubines in the harem are actually similar.

After Liu Jin smiled for a while, he suddenly spoke to Sun Cong: "Sun Cong, I have been too concerned about the affairs in the court during this period, which has led to Your Majesty being a little distant from me. Please help the family to think of someone who can please Your Majesty.

The way!”

Sun Cong now plays the role of Liu Jin's first counselor, and whether it is in the court or in the palace, Liu Jin is willing to listen to his brother-in-law. After Liu Jin takes power, he arranges all his relatives to be officials.

However, among these relatives, only Sun Cong, the brother-in-law, is an official. It is just because Sun Cong feels that his qualifications are too shallow, so Liu Jin did not arrange important positions for him, and he still acted as his own Ministry of Rites.

Anyway, for him, the size of his official position does not matter at all.

After hearing Liu Jin's words, Sun Cong thought for a moment, and then smiled confidently: "Although Your Majesty is over 20 years old, he is still a child's character. He likes some fresh and interesting things the most, such as Journey to the West.

The mythical and strange novel. With His Majesty’s character, it is not difficult to please him. It’s nothing more than finding some new things for him to play with.”

When he said this, Sun Cong paused and then said, "Some time ago, I accidentally saw someone in Guangzhou reporting that the Folang Ji people from the extreme west land were landing there, but they were driven out.

I think it would be better to send someone to find a few Folang Ji people, and it would be better to be able to speak well and let him tell His Majesty about the customs and humanities of the extreme west. I believe His Majesty will definitely like it very much!"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Good solution. I know your Majesty's personality best. At that time, as long as the Folang Jiren exaggerates the matter in the West, he will definitely be interested!"

However, when he said this, Liu Jin seemed to think of something again, paused and then said, "The other Zhou Chong who wrote Journey to the West cannot be let go. Go and instruct the Jinyiwei to find this person, since he can write it

I will definitely write a second book that makes Your Majesty interested in Journey to the West. No matter what method the Jinyiwei uses, I must let Zhou Chong write another novel that can be comparable to Journey to the West.

!”

Although Liu Jin has studied in the palace, it is not a formal education after all, so he does not know much about many things. For example, writing novels and doing things, in his opinion, is nothing more than making up a story. Since Zhou Chong can make up the first one.

One, then you can definitely make up the second one, it's nothing difficult at all.

Sun Cong, who was sitting in a chair, heard Liu Jin's words and was about to explain to him the difficulty of writing a book, but he soon thought of the news he got some time ago. It is said that Zhou Chong, who wrote Journey to the West, was his.

What does this kind of person do for him?

Thinking of this, Sun Cong nodded and wrote down. However, he soon thought of the serious matter of coming to Liu Jin today. He frowned and said, "Brother, based on the current situation, we wanted to be thorough before.

It is impossible to get rid of Xie Qian and others' plans. At most, it is to get rid of less important people like Wang Lun. If Xie Qian and others do not die, we can only watch the huge benefits of overseas smuggling. It is really unreasonable to think about it.

Give it!”

Hearing Sun Cong's words, Liu Jin's face also showed a bit of frustration. Overseas trade is a profitable industry. This matter has long been well known in the court, and even anyone with a little brain knows it.

If the maritime ban is opened, it will definitely bring huge tax benefits to the court, but no one has ever dared to truly open the maritime ban.

This is mainly because of the existence of the smuggling industry, and behind the smuggling merchants are a large number of smuggling interest groups. Most of these people are wealthy gentry in the southern coastal areas. Most of the officials in the court are composed of these southerners. These southern officials

Most of them are from those rich gentry and have close relationships with smuggling interest groups. Xie Qian is the representative of smuggling interest groups in the court. It can be said that it affects the whole body, even with Liu Jin's current power,

He did not dare to rashly be enemies with all the southern officials.

It is precisely because of the existence of smuggling interest groups that if the maritime ban is opened, it will inevitably touch the interests of these people. Therefore, even if everyone knows that the maritime ban policy has long been out of place, no one dares to mention the matter of opening the maritime ban, and Liu Jin does not

Exception. What's more, he has no intention of serving the country and the people. Liu Jin now only wants to take the profit-making industry of smuggling into his own hands and become a tool to make huge profits for himself.

Unfortunately, because of Xie Qian's existence, it is impossible for Liu Jin to master the smuggling to make profits for himself. This is also the real reason why he repeatedly wanted to get rid of Xie Qian. Unfortunately, the power of the Southern Officials is too strong, and
Chapter completed!
