In the Daming Empire and the Forbidden City of Beijing, eunuchs Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong, Ma Yongcheng, Gao Feng and other eight eunuchs most trusted by the Zhengde emperors were all sweaty.
It's not hot weather, after all, it's only February in the lunar calendar. However, the young Zhengde Emperor put too much pressure on them, so that they were sweating.
Although the Emperor Zhengde was talented, intelligent, and courageous, because he was an only child and had no competitors, he was spoiled from childhood, and he was more willful.
Moreover, Zheng Houdi Zhu Houzhao also has a talent-that is, learning everything fast. For example, after fighting cricket, Liu Jin and others tempted him to learn how to fight cricket, Zhengde Emperor quickly got started, and became a master of cricket cricket. However, once mastered, Emperor Zhengde soon lost interest, and then looked for other exciting things. Therefore, all kinds of eagles, dogs, chickens and other things that can be used for entertainment and gambling are all played by the bear child young emperor. Similarly, these entertainment items are also tired of playing with bear children.
After being bored, Xiong children naturally want to find new fun, and Liu Jin's biggest task for the eight eunuchs is to help Xiong children find new entertainment projects.
But where is the new entertainment project so easy to find? And these eight eunuchs have basically not read the book, and their knowledge is not high, so they think very hard.
Originally, in the three years of Zhengde, the Emperor Bear Child would build a leopard room to drive jackals, tigers, leopards and other fierce beasts to fight with each other. However, at this moment, Liu Jin and others have just gained momentum and have not yet been able to acquire so many rare and exotic animals for Emperor Zhengde.
In addition, Liu Jin has just assumed power and has not cleaned up the opposition. Most of the old ministers left by the Hongzhi Dynasty were more upright. Even if Zhengde wanted to play, they would be sprayed by the ministers.
However, the ministers can stop the emperor from mourning, but the eight eunuchs cannot. Because their power comes from the favor of bear children. Therefore, they did not persuade them. If they want to be favored and have power, they must meet all the requirements of the bear child, regardless of whether it is reasonable or unreasonable.
Nowadays, the bear kid just got tired of an entertainment project, and now he is losing his temper:
"Liu Daban, Zhang Banpan ... and a few of you, hurry and think about it, what else is fun? Quickly think! Come to think of it, I have a reward! I can't think of it, I'm playing board!" The threat. Then, several eunuchs were bitter-Nima, who couldn't think of going to be beaten, it was really a chore.
To say that these years, they have followed since the bear child was the prince. In order to please him, the usual tricks have been thought about for a long time! What are crickets, cockfighting, dog fighting, and even eagle fighting ... they all came up with it, and there are even various gambling activities ... Unfortunately, bear children are too smart, these things get too fast. Others can play for a lifetime in one or two entertainment projects, but bear children are better, and they will spend three to five days. Therefore, these eunuchs are busy thinking about new entertainment projects to please the bear children.
Seeing that everyone was all right, Liu Jin thought about it, took a leave with the little emperor, and went out ...
What does Liu Jin go out for? Naturally, I went to talk to someone ...
It is not necessary to discuss with the other 7 eunuchs because 8 of them are in a competitive relationship. Now Liu Jin has the upper hand, and the other seven people are eager to turn him over and replace it. So don't expect 7 other people to share their good ideas with him.
However, Liu Jin is also smart. He knew he had limited abilities, but he would attract talent ...
In North Korea, Liu Jin recruited Jiao Fang, a cabinet clerk, as a political ally, and also promoted some officials who stole him. In this way, Liu Jin gained a great voice in the DPRK.
However, to please the emperor, it is not enough to find these famous civil servants. For example, Jiao Fang, although allied with Liu Jin, is not Liu Jin's servant. If Liu Jin went to ask Jiao Fang how to make the bear kid happy, he might be sprayed.
Therefore, Liu Jin is not looking for political allies this time, but a group of people who are usually caught in the roar. Of course, there are also some desolate readers. After all, for such things as ghost ideas, you still have to find some literati who have a bad stomach ... And these people who sing chickens and dog robbers have a very famous name-eaters ...
To say that during the Warring States period, it was quite popular to raise diners, and it also brought up the famous "Four Sons of the Warring States", each of which had thousands of diners.
Liu Jin himself is not smart, but he has also heard the story of "Four Sons of the Warring States". Therefore, he also raised some croissants and dog robbers to help him make some ideas, mainly to find out how to please bear children ...
Liu Jingang had just returned to Fuzhong, and a group of diners from the roar of chickens and dog robbers immediately swarmed over like smelling sharks. These people are all flattering, saying hello to Liu Jin:
"Dong Weng is back?"
"Don Weng!"
"Dong Weng is healthy!"
...
Liu Jin waved his hands impatiently, saying:
"Quiet. When we come back this time, we want to ask everyone, but what new things can attract the interest of the Holy Spirit?"
Suddenly, a group of people was cold ...
Nonsense, if there is a good idea, it has been used to please Liu Jin, and still wait until today? Therefore, they are also very helpless ...
"Why? Do n’t you feel that you are very patient one by one? Why do n’t you speak one by one at the critical moment? To tell you the truth, the Holy Spirit has spoken. If there are no new and interesting things to offer, our family will have to face the board. The house is hit by a board, don't think about it too well! "
"Or, go catch some jackals, tigers and leopards?" One diner suggested.
Liu Jin quickly shook his head:
"No, if you want to make jackals, tigers, and leopards, you will definitely be impeached by the officials. Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong, and the gang of monkey cubs can't help me fall down, and then go up on their own. And, even if our family wants jackals, Leopard, a local official must cooperate with our family! "
Only in October last year did Liu Jin win the battle with Liu Jian, Xie Qian and other ministers. Now, although he has reached into the hall, he is still unstable. After all, if you want to control North Korea, you must cultivate party tycoons. But Liu Jin has just cultivated a small number of party leaders and has not yet fully controlled the overall situation. Therefore, he was also temporarily afraid of being impeached. The other thing is that Liu Jin has little control over the place.
"However, you said, it's an idea. It can't be used now, but it can be used in the future. But first of all, our family has to arrange some people to be officials in the local area. Especially those places where there are jackals, tigers and leopards ... It is convenient for these people to help our family to capture the jackals, tigers, and leopards, and dedicate them to Sheng Shang ... "
Through the reminder of the diners, Liu Jin suddenly discovered that he really needed to throw some people out and go to the place so that he could collect rare things such as jackals, tigers and leopards through them ...
Just as Liu Jin was thinking about the feasibility of the matter, a diners dressed up as a thief-eyed scholar suddenly stood up:
"Dong Weng, I heard an anecdote recently, maybe it will help Dong Weng ..."
Liu Jin glanced at the scholar and smiled:
"It turned out to be a mouse show talent, you just listen to it."
The scholar's surname is Shu, but because he has a thief's eye and is a rat, he is teased as a "rat Xiucai".
In the Ming dynasty, although it was an imperial examination, it was also worth looking at.
Scholars with Chinese characters and decent faces are especially popular. Because such a scribe is an official, can enhance the image of the court. On the other hand, those who are like thieves are not like good people at first glance, and often have fate ...
The talented genius of the mouse is actually good, but because of his intractable appearance, he has never been pleased by the examiner. Therefore, his road to the imperial examination was very difficult. It's obviously not worse than people, but because of its intractable appearance, it may affect the image of the country, so it has been brushed down many times ...
In desperation, in order to make a living, the imperial examination of the hopeless mouse only turned to the notorious Liu Jin ...
Mouse show was full of face and said:
"This is the case, Dong Weng. The students went to the restaurant to eat these days and heard such anecdotes-it seems that a small barbaric country called the Beihai Kingdom, the land of the West, presented a batch of Western guns to the imperial court. Not bad. But Master Mao Cheng of the Ministry of Rituals seems to have a prejudice against guns and guns, so he did n’t look at it, so he sealed it in the storeroom of the Ritual Department. Very unpleasant ... "
"Recently, Governor Jin Jin of Guangdong and Guangxi seems to have fought a big victory over Guangxi. It is said that the messengers of the Beihai Kingdom once sent a batch of guns to Governor Chen Jin. And those batches of guns were in the battle of Luorong County before Shine ... "
"Later, Wang Sheng University quarreled with Mao Chengshang for this, but Mao Shangshu seemed unmoved ..."
...
"Humph--Mao Cheng and Wang Sheng, it's just that dogs bite dogs, and our family doesn't care who wins them!" Liu Jin said impatiently. Because, whether it is Wang Sheng or Mao Cheng, they like Liu Jin.
"That is of course, but, Dong Weng, the key point below is-that batch of Western guns and guns should be good! Isn't the emperor Shang Wu? Dong Weng can take out those batches of guns to please the Holy Spirit! "
"Use guns to please the Holy Spirit?" Liu Jin hesitated ~ www.novelhall.com ~ exactly! Dong Weng, Emperor Shang Wu, guns are the weapon of the army. Use it to cater to the Lord, it should be right to the taste of the emperor! "
"But what if there is danger? The safety of the Holy Spirit is a big deal. There is a little problem that our family cannot afford."
"This is easy. Find a craftsman who is proficient in firearms in the battlefield. First try the safety and insecurity. If it is safe, then give it to the Holy Ghost!"
"It makes sense! But Mao Cheng's old man and our family didn't deal with it. How to get things out of the storeroom of the court of the old man?"
"Dong Weng is now the **** of Si Lijian, who can print the eunuchs. He can ask St. Shang to issue a middle purpose. In the name of the military battle, he asked for these guns. Under the unbelief, Mao Cheng's old man dared to resist. Then it just gave Dong Weng an excuse to clean up him! "
"Sure enough! Well, just do it!" Liu Jin nodded in satisfaction.
