Emperor Wanli's face immediately darkened when he heard this! He had been under the oppression of Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao and Queen Mother Li for a long time, so he felt very insecure! Agreeing with Liu Haojia to rectify Jinyiwei was a way for him to increase his sense of security! But when he heard someone was making trouble, he was naturally very angry! So he hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Tell me carefully!"
Liu Haojia explained in detail what happened this morning. When Emperor Wanli heard the report, veins popped up on his forehead! After he finished listening, he said angrily: "Where is Zhang Jia? Where is Zhang Jia?"
The eunuch serving beside him said tremblingly: "Long live my lord, my ancestor has gone to Dongchang, and he should be back soon!"
Emperor Wanli said loudly: "Go and call him back quickly!"
At this moment, I heard footsteps coming from outside. The door curtain opened and Zhang Jia came into the house and said loudly: "Long live my lord, my slave is back. There is no need to look for it!"
Emperor Wanli said angrily: "Did you know that something happened to Fusi Zhengxun in Nanzhen?"
Zhang Jia bowed and said: "Long live the Lord to calm down! This is the reason why I went to Dongchang!"
Hearing what Zhang Jia said, Emperor Wanli's anger restrained a lot. Then he said, "Tell me what's going on?"
It turned out that after receiving the news from Zhang Zheng, Zhang Jia took advantage of Emperor Wanli's nap to read the confession and sent someone to inquire about the authenticity of the confession. As a result, the people who came back clearly told him that the three names he got from Qian Mingyu's people were indeed correct, and they were all Liu Shouyou's servants!
Since the matter involved Liu Shouyou, Zhang Jia did not dare to make a decision privately and hurried back from Dongchang to report to Emperor Wanli. When Emperor Wanli heard Zhang Jia's report, he dropped his cup on the spot! He shouted loudly: "I will remove him from his post! I will raid his home!"
Liu Haojia and Zhang Jia hurriedly comforted him and tried their best to dispel his thoughts. But Liu Shouyou's actions completely angered him, and he must capture Liu Shouyou!
Finally, in desperation, Liu Haojia drove away the other eunuchs and maids, took Emperor Wanli's hand and whispered: "Long live Lord, now is really not the time to move lightly! With Feng Bao and Prime Minister Zhang echoing both internally and externally, Liu Shou has temporarily You can’t move! After all, King Lu is still in the capital!"
As soon as King Lu Wanli was mentioned, he immediately calmed down! Because King Lu is now his heartache! King Lu had actually reached the age of joining the vassal, but Queen Mother Li was still reluctant to let him leave and kept him in Beijing.
And it would be fine if he just stayed in Beijing, but Queen Mother Li was reluctant to let him stay away, and even left a place for him in the palace. In this way, he becomes the second man in the palace!
Emperor Wanli could accept this alone, after all, he was his biological brother. But his existence gave civil servants a lot of room for imagination! It was even a means to control Emperor Wanli!
Because they discovered that Emperor Wanli was not really an emperor who listened to their manipulations, and felt that things were somewhat beyond their control! Therefore, rumors spread from time to time in the capital that Prince Lu "likes to read, is gentle and polite, and has the demeanor of a gentleman!"
Or they say something like "respecting teachers, being simple and upholding justice"! Sometimes he even openly says that he has "the air of a king!"
Emperor Wanli was not a fool. He did not resent King Lu before because Liu Shou had neglected his duties. He did not report the news at all, which resulted in Emperor Wanli not hearing such rumors at all. Or maybe the rumors were already out of date by the time he heard them!
But since Liu Haojia established the military police to collect taxes and helped him restore the organizational structure of Dongchang, his eyes and ears have become much smarter, and he can detect these rumors in time! Moreover, Emperor Wanli keenly discovered one thing, that is, whenever he expressed opinions inconsistent with those of civil servants in court, this rumor would definitely appear! This was clearly a civil official trying to beat him, or to put it simply, threatening him!
Seeing that Emperor Wanli had calmed down, Liu Haojia and the others helped Emperor Wanli sit down. Because he had sent the people away a long time ago, Zhang Jia came to the tea in person. Emperor Wanli took a sip of tea to calm down, and then said angrily: "Is there no way to deal with him?"
Liu Haojia said: "Long live Lord, Liu Shouyou really can't move now! At least he can't move until Prime Minister Zhang takes office! But it's not impossible to vent your anger!"
Emperor Wanli perked up after hearing this and said, "What's the best way to vent your anger? Call him in and give him a beating? That's right, he caused such a big trouble, I'll beat him with dozens of sticks and no one will say anything!"
Liu Haojia hurriedly said: "Long live my Lord, hitting someone is just a joke! Either beat him to death or not beat him! So you might as well scold him first to vent your anger!"
Emperor Wanli also knew that Liu Shouyou had taken root in Jinyiwei for many years, and he was a big tree with deep roots. He didn't want to push him too hastily, so he could only nod and agree. Then he asked people to quickly spread the news that Liu Shouyou had entered the palace, so that he could vent his anger!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Haojia introduced the situation of today's training. At first Emperor Wanli thought that no matter how bad the Jin Yiwei was, he should still look like an army. But after Liu Haojia introduced him, he realized that the Jin Yiwei was completely terrible! Except for some people around the chief officers at all levels and some elites, basically the rest are just some foodies!
Especially when he found out that Nanya's salary was more than 40%, Emperor Wanli became even more resentful towards Liu Shou! He blamed all Jin Yiwei's problems on Liu Shouyou! But fortunately, Liu Haojia repeatedly promised that he would be able to train Jin Yiwei, so he didn't smash anything again!
Moreover, Liu Haojia took the opportunity to convey to Emperor Wanli the news that the Beijing camp of more than 100,000 people was probably completely useless. If someone had said this to Emperor Wanli before. I'm afraid he won't believe it at all! But Jin Yiwei's example is right in front of us, and Jingying will definitely not be much better! So he accepted Liu Haojia's opinion and sent Zhang Jia to investigate secretly.
Then Liu Haojia left the palace on the right foot and met Liu Shouyou in front of the palace gate. As a result, neither of them spoke. Anyway, the batches are already at loggerheads and they all know what each other did, so there’s no point in pretending! As for Liu Shou coming so quickly, it was because he knew that he would pass this test sooner or later, so he stayed in the Yamen early. As soon as the eunuch who delivered the order arrived, he immediately entered the palace obediently! .
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the palace, Emperor Wanli scolded him! Although Liu Shouyou seemed submissive on the surface, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart! He knew that after he was scolded, this matter would be over!
He even felt a little proud! If you cause such a big thing, the result will be a scolding and a three-month fine, which is like not being punished! He also knew that he did not touch Zhang Juzheng because of his face, so this strengthened his idea of taking refuge with Zhang Juzheng!
But just after Emperor Wanli got angry and sent Liu Shouyou away, Empress Dowager Li immediately sent someone to ask what happened? Why did Long Live Master scold Liu Shouyou!
This made Emperor Wanli, who had just calmed down a little, immediately became furious again! Logically speaking, today's incident has never been spread, but Queen Mother Li still received the news. This can only mean one thing, that is, Feng Bao snitched again!
This made Emperor Wanli even more angry. His anger that had subsided was filled up again, and his hatred for Liu Shouyou increased even more! He even had murderous intentions towards Feng Bao! It's just that he knows there's nothing he can do about them now, so he can only endure it!
