Chapter 124 Fake

"How should I put it? Liu Jin does one thing to people in front of others and another behind their backs. He only wants to please Zhu Houzhao, but he doesn't know how to read people's words."

"After Zhu Youxuan passed away, both Liu Jin and Zhang Yong were promoted to the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, but Liu Jin only cared about his own interests, not the interests of others."

"That's why Zhang Yong and others hated Liu Jin more and more, so they began to think of ways to deal with him."

"So what method did Zhang Yong come up with to deal with Liu Jin? At that time, Zhang Yong didn't think too much. He just wanted to kill Liu Jin. Note that Zhang Yong's purpose here is not to compete for political power."

"With Zhu Houzhao's depravity and debauchery, and Liu Jin's misbehavior, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty began to shake."

"What is the foundation? The common people said that Zhu Houzhao had only been on the throne for a few years, and uprisings continued all over the country, and the country of the Ming Dynasty was at stake."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yong found the right time and quickly recruited people from the cabinet. At that time, the cabinet was also very upset with Liu Jin, because all the memorials submitted by the cabinet had to go through Liu Jin's hands, which made the cabinet feel very embarrassed. "

"You know, in the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet was the official administrative organization, and what does the supervisor of rituals do? It's just a group of servants of the emperor who take care of the palace."

"So you see, Liu Jin is obsessed with the power of the government and puts the cabinet on his head. Although the emperor doesn't say anything, this is stepping on the face of the cabinet and rubbing it under his feet."

"This makes the cabinet have any face to discuss state affairs in the court? Therefore, the cabinet and Zhang Yong are united, which is also a trend."

"Then how will Zhang Yonghe's cabinet deal with Liu Jin? It's easy to say, kill first and play later!"

"Now let's talk about the details. One day, a eunuch hurriedly found Zhang Yong and handed him a stack of envelopes."

"Zhang Yong opened the envelope, his face changed immediately, and he quickly found the cabinet. After seeing the contents of the envelope, the cabinet was also extremely shocked."

"However, they did not hand over the envelope to Liu Jin, who was in charge of the government at that time, for inspection. Instead, a group of people hurried out of the palace and found a general who was defending the capital."

"After Zhang Yonghe and the cabinet met the general, without further ado, Zhang Yong directly stuffed the envelope into the general's hand, and then carefully said, General, please take a look."

"The general was very puzzled at the time, what is the big deal that brought all the people from the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies here?"

"The general didn't dare to hesitate, so he quickly opened the envelope. After checking it, his expression became serious. He said, is what the letter said true?"

"At this moment, Zhang Yong hurriedly said, General, this matter is absolutely true! Otherwise, the people in the cabinet and I would not have come to you in such a hurry."

"Although the general is suspicious, the cabinet and Zhang Yong are all here. However, in order to confirm whether the contents of the letter are true, the general said that he still needs to send someone to investigate."

"But at this time, Zhang Yonghe's cabinet couldn't stand up anymore. Why? Because that letter was jointly fabricated by Zhang Yonghe's cabinet!"

"That's a fake envelope, so what was written on the letter that made the general so cautious?"

"The content of the letter is not much, roughly speaking, Liu Jin secretly colluded with the rebels from all over the country, intending to launch a coup, depose the emperor, and establish himself as king."

"At the same time, he has already discussed the time of the coup with the rebels from all over the country, and Liu Jin is in control of the imperial guards in the palace, so Zhang Yonghe and the cabinet came to him."

"Then are these facts true? Of course not. As I said just now, these things were fabricated by Zhang Yong and the cabinet to frame Liu Jin."

"Because it involves Liu Jin, the current emperor and the actual controller of the court, the general is so careful."

"But Zhang Yong and the others are a little panicked. If the general finds out that there is no such thing and reports it to Liu Jin, won't they all be punished by the ten clans?"

"There is a saying that goes like this. Looking at the 24th history, only the Ming Dynasty had the crime of killing the ten clans. This is the most serious crime among all the crimes of the Ming Dynasty."

"However, just as the general was about to send someone to investigate, an official suddenly rushed out of the crowd, holding a secret edict in his hand, and threw it to the general."

"At this time, the official said again, this is His Majesty's secret edict, asking you to immediately lead troops into the palace to kill the traitor Liu Jin!"

"The general was in a daze at the time, but the official took out a piece of rice paper from his sleeve again and handed it to the general, saying that this is an order from the Ministry of War!"

"In the Ming Dynasty, the deployment of troops must be used together with the emperor's hand metaphor, or something that can prove that it is the emperor himself."

"At this time, the emperor's secret edict and the dispatch order of the Ministry of War are all in place, and the general has already inspected them. There is nothing wrong with the two items, so it is decided to send troops into the palace immediately to kill Liu Jin!"

"Hearing this, you may be confused. Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin have such a good relationship, why did he issue a secret order to kill Liu Jin?"

"Of course it's impossible. The so-called emperor's secret edict and the order of the Ministry of War are all fabricated by the cabinet!"

"At that time, Liu Jin was indeed in control of the Imperial Palace Guards, but to say that he colluded with the rebels and wanted to become king on his own, these were all nonsense made by Zhang Yong."

"Besides, Zhang Yong was very excited when he heard that the general decided to dispatch troops to kill Liu Jin. It turns out that there are other people in the cabinet who want to kill Liu Jin!"

"Hey? How do you say that? Didn't you just say that Zhang Yong has united with the cabinet? Doesn't he know?"

"He really didn't know, and none of the cabinet officials present at the time expected such a miracle!"

"It turns out that Zhang Yong is only allied with a few members of the cabinet, and some cabinet members, as well as the chief assistant of the cabinet at that time, are not Zhang Yong's allies."

"This sudden scene confuses Zhang Yong and other cabinet members. Who sent the fake secret edict and the dispatch order of the Ministry of War?"

"After we broke up, Zhang Yong led the cabinet to find the official who sent the things, and asked him, who is the meaning of the secret edict and the transfer order?"

"I just heard the official smile and said that the Sixth Department has long been very upset to see Liu Jin. You should have notified the Sixth Department to act together earlier for your actions today."

"Liubu, you should know this. I won't talk about it here. At this time, Liubu is also involved, so the chances of getting rid of Liu Jin will be greatly increased."

"Soon, Zhang Yong and the people from the cabinet returned to the palace. There is no abnormality in the palace. It seems that Liu Jin still doesn't know anything."

"Then what did Zhang Yonghe's cabinet do when they returned to the palace? Of course they went to find the commander of Jin Yiwei."
