Zhang Jia said to him: "You will take care of General Liu Qi these days! Whatever request he has, as long as it doesn't go out of the way, you can satisfy him! This General Liu is very wealthy and needs your money!"
Jinyiwei Xiaoqi said: "Eunuch Zhang, please rest assured, Mr. Liu will never suffer any loss here!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Jia turned around and said hello to Liu Haojia before waddling away. Xiaoqi, the imperial guard, said to Liu Haojia: "Master Liu, my surname is Zhang. I will be dealing with you for a long time in the future, so what's the matter? Just do whatever you want!"
Liu Haojia said: "Thank you so much, Brother Zhang! I don't have any special requirements. Someone will deliver three meals a day. I just need Brother Zhang to forward it. But I won't let Brother Zhang help in vain. There are people who deliver the meals." Gifts are given!”
Zhang Xiaoqi naturally knew what the gift was, and the emperor's personal eunuch personally escorted Liu Haojia to the cell, which showed that the holy family was deeply connected, so how could he not agree? He laughed and said, "Easy to say, easy to say! This matter is simple! And if Mr. Liu has any other instructions, just tell me and everything will be easy to handle!"
Liu Haojia said in his heart, I'm afraid it will be easy to handle if there are benefits! But he still said: "Thank you so much, Brother Zhang, I really have no other requirements now!"
Zhang Xiaoqi said: "In this case, I will close the door! Mr. Liu just have a good rest!"
Liu Haojia said nothing, turned around and walked towards the room. Then he heard Zhang Xiaoqi close the courtyard door directly behind him, and he even heard Zhang Xiaoqi left without locking the lock, which made him shake his head and laugh to himself! It is said that this imperial prison is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, but it seems like it is nothing more than that!
When he entered the room and lay down on the bed, he felt drunk for a while and fell asleep directly. He slept here in the dark, but the court was in a mess! Because the General Affairs Department has received the memorials from officials at all levels with a soft hand!
The contents of the memorial are varied, but there is only one core idea, which is to severely punish more than a hundred Jin Yiwei from Liu Haojia on down! As for the punishment requirements, it ranges from being dealt with according to the law to being executed by the whole family!
When the matter was reported to the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng said nothing at all, while Zhang Siwei just said lightly: "Pick a few with good literary talent and send them over, and save the others that should be archived! I think their contents are almost the same!"
The cabinet has spoken, and the people working below naturally understand it. After the scribe selected a few memorials and sent them over, the other memorials were put into boxes and prepared for storage. After a few years, these memorials would probably be burned.
After packing it up, the two eunuchs carried a huge box and rushed to the warehouse. Along the way, the two people chatted from time to time. Just listen to the younger eunuch on the left say: "Today's memorials are too many! It is six or seven times the weight of the past!"
The older eunuch on the right said: "What's going on here? The Secretary of General Administration is still collecting memorials. I'm afraid there will be another box to be sent to the warehouse soon."
The young eunuch said: "No! We two brothers are unlucky today! But I heard that these memorials are all about impeaching a general of Jinyiwei. It seems that he has committed a big crime!"
The older eunuch said: "Stop talking! The reason we do this job is to talk less, so as not to get into trouble!"
Just as the young eunuch was about to say something, he heard someone say in front of him: "Well, that's right! If you two can maintain a cautious attitude in your words and deeds, there may be further possibilities in the future! If you open your mouth and talk nonsense , I might end up losing my life at some point!”
The two people were startled when they heard this, and looked up hurriedly, and immediately recognized that the person who spoke was a minister in the Wanli Imperial Palace!
After recognizing the person, they hurriedly put down the box and fell to the ground. Without waiting to kowtow, the eunuch in charge said: "Okay, don't be rude, hurry up and pick up the box and follow us! Long live the memorials!"
The two eunuchs looked at each other and hesitated to speak. The eunuch in charge shook his fly whisk and said: "I know what you are thinking! But our family will not make it difficult for you. This memorial will not be lost. Come to our house tomorrow morning to pick up the memorial. It only lasts for one night, and these rags are still there Can you fly?"
The two of them felt relieved after hearing this, and the older eunuch said with a smile: "No way, no way! We will definitely do what the father-in-law ordered us to do!"
After speaking, he motioned with his eyes to another eunuch to lift the box together, and followed the eunuch in charge directly to Emperor Wanli's palace. Zhang Jia came forward to receive these memorials and rewarded each of them with two taels of silver, allowing the two eunuchs to leave happily.
As soon as the two eunuchs left, Emperor Wanli came out from behind the screen and said in a hurry: "Hurry up and open the box. I want to see what is written in these memorials? Is it as unbearable as Liu Haojia said?"
Zhang Jia didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly opened the box and quickly started to classify the memorials. Emperor Wanli casually took a memorial and read it slowly.
While Zhang Jia was busy, he would peek at Emperor Wanli's expression from time to time, only to see that his expression became more and more gloomy. Eventually, his eyebrows were twisted together, and his eyes were even more blazing with anger!
Before Zhang Jia could say anything, Emperor Wanli had already slammed the book to the ground! Zhang Jia was trembling with fright and thought to himself, it seems that Liu Haojia was right!
At this time, Emperor Wanli said angrily: "Are you ready?"
Zhang Jia looked at the memorials that still contained more than half of the box, then pointed to the memorials on the table and said: "The smallest pile on the left is still upholding public opinion, while the other memorials are just for shouting and killing!"
Emperor Wanli angrily grabbed one from the shortest pile of memorials, opened it fiercely, and said at the same time: "I don't believe that so many courtiers are just fools! I guess there must be some who are loyal to state affairs, right? And I don’t believe that among all the courtiers there is no one who understands!”
That's it, one of the two people flipped through the memorials and classified them, while the other picked out one of the memorials from different categories to read. The scene seems to be coordinated, but in fact the atmosphere is not good at all!
There were more than a dozen memorials missing, and Emperor Wanli was almost furious because of these memorials! Only a few people in these memorials upheld the public spirit and said that this matter should be dealt with according to law. As for most of them, this incident was used to extend it to other matters. They quoted scriptures one by one, and they were going to cut Liu Haojia and others into pieces with thousands of swords, and confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans!
