I beat animals and picked up debris in the courtyard of the heavens

Chapter 216 Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin
Cixi won the loyalty of the girls with a little trickery, and gave a lot of gifts to make the girls happy.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Cixi gave 372 girls to the immortals in front of the rich merchants!
The rich businessmen don't know the secret of rewarding, seeing the girls disappear, they really think that Cixi has a way to contact the immortals!
They are even more in awe of Cixi!
Cixi knew that most of these wealthy businessmen had daughters who followed the immortals, so she was very polite to them and gave them a lot of convenience in doing business.

As for the families of those village girls and beauties, they also sent people to settle in properly. In case the girls sent this time were favored and could come back to visit their relatives or something, what I did would be credited to them!
If you don't do it, if someone really comes back and hates you, then the loss outweighs the gain.

Guangxu was by Cixi's side, so he naturally knew about it, but he was depressed and helpless.

He was restricted by Cixi, thinking that if he could follow suit, Cixi would not give him this chance!
But the only consolation is that his own life is still guaranteed, and Cixi dare not abolish him for no reason, and set up a new king!
But what Guangxu didn't expect was that Cixi poisoned him before he died!
This historical ending has not changed. After all, Cixi himself understands that his life is not long. Naturally, he is not afraid that Concubine Zhen will come back and blame him. No matter how he kills Guangxu first, he will set up a new king!

He Yuzhu didn't blink his eyes when he noticed these things, and he didn't give anything back just because Concubine Zhen or Cixi presented him with so many beauties!
Because it was unnecessary, He Yuzhu had no good impression of the emperors and queen mothers of the Qing Dynasty!No matter how much he contributed, he would just accept it and pretend to be indifferent to others.

No. 12 Rich and Enemy People have started to play.

The character in this inventory is Liu Jin!That's right, it is Liu Jin, the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty!

Liu Jin was a famous eunuch in the Ming Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs had great power. Liu Jin used his power to amass property. It is said that Liu Jin was the richest eunuch in the Ming Dynasty.When Liu Jin was finally sentenced to death, 2.5 million yuan in silver and tens of millions of gold were seized from his home, which was more than the national inventory of silver at that time.

During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair in the Jinluan Hall, silently watching Liu Jin's inventory.

Liu Jin was serving at the side, but when she saw that she was the one taking inventory, she was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy!
At this time, Zhu Houzhao had just been emperor for three years, and he always called Liu Jin Liu Daban, which shows that he regarded Liu Jin as a real partner and confidant.

But Liu Jin was greedy for so much money, which made Zhu Houzhao annoyed for a while!
"Come here, please give me a copy of Liu Jin's house. I want to see how much money he has embezzled?!"

Zhu Houzhao said angrily.

Seeing that the matter was irreversible, Liu Jin knelt there instead, not daring to beg for mercy anymore!

The main reason is that he knows that there is absolutely no such amount of money in the inventory now. In the fifth year of Zhengde's reign, Zhang Yong, one of the "Eight Tigers", took the lead in exposing the crime. Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, ordered Lingchi to be executed for "rebellion".

And now it is the third year of Zhengde, Liu Jin, as the leader of the Eight Tigers, although he is greedy for money every day, his greed is getting bigger and bigger. He has not yet reached the most greedy time, and is still in the stage of collecting money to do things.

Speaking of a person who is greedy for money, there are several stages. First, he is greedy for small money, and then he is greedy for big money. This stage is all related to himself, not directly related to other people!

Liu Jin took advantage of his power and committed corruption wantonly.He advised Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty to order all provinces to lose all their treasuries to the capital, embezzling a large amount of silver from it.He openly accepted and demanded bribes and engaged in money and power transactions.

With the promotion and the mastery of real power, this is the stage of collecting money and doing things.

As it continues to develop, it means collecting money from time to time and not doing anything!The person who gave the money dared not speak up!

At this time, the greed is getting bigger and bigger, and I start to set up clever names and start collecting money.

Officials from all over the country paid bribes to him when they made a pilgrimage to Beijing, which was called a "meeting ceremony", and they cost thousands of taels of silver, and some were as high as 5000 taels.In order to pay bribes, some people had to borrow money from rich men in the capital, which was called "Beijing debt" at that time.All officials who are promoted to work and return to Beijing to report on their duties must give him gifts.In addition, he also sent his cronies to work in local areas to raise money for him.

At that time, a prisoner drowned to death, so he convicted the censor Kuang Yi.He once asked for a bribe from Wu Yan, a bachelor, but he couldn't get it. He also listened to the slander of Liu Yu, the imperial censor, and hated Yang Nanjin, the imperial censor.Yang Bin, chieftain of Bozhou, was appointed as the inspector of Sichuan, and ordered the husband-in-law of the slave to supervise Shandong Xuezheng.From princes, ministers, and relatives down, they dare not stand against him in court. Every time they meet Liu Jin in private, they kneel down one after another.

The chapters submitted by the subjects were first posted to Liu Jin with red leather stickers, called the red book, and then the Secretary of Communications, called the white book.Zhang Zou called him Eunuch Liu but did not write his name.When the Metropolitan Procuratorate presented the prison case, it mistakenly wrote Liu Jin's name, Liu Jin scolded them angrily, and Tu Yu, the imperial censor, led his subordinates to kneel down and apologize, that's all.

He sent envoys to inspect the frontier defense warehouses. The capital censors Zhou Nan, Zhang Nai, Ma Zhongxi, Tang Quan, and Liu Xian, and the officials below the chief envoy Sun Lu, Maozheng, Fang Ju, Hua Fu, Jin Xianmin, Liu Xun, Guo Xu, Zhang Yi, the doctors Liu Yi, Wang Jin and others were charged with new and old crimes together, were arrested and imprisoned, and were fined to make up for border food. Liu Xian died in prison.

He also inspected the salt tax, beat Wang Run, the salt censor, and arrested Ning Ju, Yang Qi and others, the former salt transport envoys.During the inspection of Neijia font library, 170 people under Shangshu and Wang Zuo were demoted.He also created the law of punishing rice, and anyone who had disobeyed him was fined to lose rice.The original Shangshu Yongtai, Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia, Han Wen, Xu Jin, the censors Yang Yiqing, Li Jin, Wang Zhong, the servant Zhang Jin, Zhao Shixian, Ren Liangbi, the censors Zhang Jin, Chen Shun, Qiao Shu, Nie Dozens of people, including Xian and Cao Laixun, were demolished, and the wives and children of those who died were detained.

Such examples are too numerous to enumerate, and it is also Liu Jin's way of death!

In fact, what Zhu Houzhao can't tolerate the most is Liu Jin's false preaching of the imperial decree. In the summer of the third year of Zhengde, there was an anonymous letter from Kedao attacking Liu Jin's actions. On the left, he questioned the officials, and in the evening, all the officials below the fifth rank were thrown into prison.

The next day, Li Dongyang, a bachelor, came forward to rescue him, and Liu Jin also heard that the letter was written by the eunuch, so he released the officials.

But the principal He Qian, Shuntian Mansion Tutor Zhou Chen, Jinshi Lu Shen had already died of heatstroke.

The weather was very hot that day, and the eunuch Li Rong gave iced melon slices to the officials, and Liu Jin hated him very much.

The eunuch Huang Wei was very angry and said to the officials: "What is said in the letter is for the sake of the country and the people. Whoever wrote it should stand up and admit it. Even if he dies, he is still a good boy. Why do you wrong and hurt others!"

Liu Jin was furious, and ordered Li Rong to live idle that day, and expelled Huang Wei to Nanjing.At that time, detectives from Dongchang and Xichang were everywhere, and people on the road were panicked.

Liu Jin also set up an expert factory, which is particularly cruel, using the subtleties of the law to hurt people, and the victims cannot be saved.He also expelled all the people who lived as guests and servants in Beijing, made all widows remarry, and burned them if they were not buried after the funeral, which caused chaos in the capital and almost caused disaster.During the incident, Xu Tianxi wanted to impeach Liu Jin, but he was so frightened that he pretended to be a memorial and hanged himself.
