At the dinner, Liu Jin's nerves were tense. I am afraid that the cracking sound of the wine glass falling on the ground at this moment is likely to scare Liu Jin's courage. The light of Liu Jin's eyes secretly aimed at Zhang Yong, Yang Yiqing, and Princess Changning. Waiting for people, always pay attention to their every movement, because Liu Jin believes that these people will not let them go so easily. But what is strange is that at the banquet, Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong listed the whole process of King Anhua's rebellion one by one, but they did not mention why King Anhua rebelled or talked about anything related to them, Liu Jin thought. Having broken his head, he was also puzzled. Finally, Liu Jin had to comfort herself, thinking that Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong knew that a thin camel was bigger than a horse, and their rights and status could not be shaken so easily. It seems that they still Don't dare to move yourself easily!

Emperor Zhu drank to the extreme and shouted happily: "I, I am very happy today. Concubine Liu has recovered from a serious illness. The two Aiqings have relieved King Anhua from the aftereffects of King Anhua for me! Come and drink this cup together!" The ministers who sat down to accompany the wine raised their wine glasses to compliment Emperor Zhu and drank all the wine in the cup. Only Liu Jin was too distracted to pay attention to what Emperor Zhu was saying because of too much thought. Emperor Zhu saw Liu Jin. He didn't drink, his eyes dazzled, and asked strangely: "Gonggong Liu, why don't you drink? Is it because you are not feeling well!" Liu Jin recovered, thinking of her guilty conscience, and hurriedly slapped herself with sloppy eyes and said, "The emperor. The old slave wants the emperor to do the state affairs, family affairs, and care about everything, so that the emperor’s dragon body must take care, and the old slave is annoyed that he can’t relieve the emperor’s worries!"

Emperor Zhu trusted Liu Jin the most when he heard Liu Jin's words, and felt sad. He wanted to ascend to the throne at the age of 16 and deal with major national affairs every day, although Liu Jin took care of matters most of the time. But, I still have to spend a lot of energy in it. So, if you can take a big holiday, you don’t care about anything, how good it is to just have fun. The emperors in history are mostly concerned about the country, but this emperor Zhu is not only I don’t care about national affairs at all, and often have such absurd thoughts. Emperor Zhu sighed and said: "I, why don’t you want to relax, but the world makes me feel at ease. That’s why the king of Anhua has to rebel because I worked so hard. , If nothing is left, wouldn’t the world be in chaos!” When the ministers here heard the Emperor Zhu say this, they hurriedly got up and knelt down, and said, “The ministers are useless and die!”

Liu Jin was a little worried about the banquet until late at night, but now she hasn't spent too much time in the palace as she thought. In case the staff outside can't wait to rush in, things will be worse than expected, and she is now rebelling. There is a certain degree of certainty, but if it is said that the world's confidence in one action is much worse, Liu Jin is afraid that stealing chickens will not lose the rice! So Liu Jin hurriedly resigned to Emperor Zhu: "The emperor, the old slave is too strong to drink, and recently he has committed a back problem again, so please go ahead!"

Emperor Zhu saw that Liu Jin was unhappy during the entire banquet today. It must be because of physical discomfort. In fact, in addition to the relationship between Liu Jin and Emperor Zhu, Emperor Zhu really treated Liu Jin as his family. Since Liu Jin said so, Emperor Zhu immediately agreed. After Liu Jin left, a guard ran to Gu Dayong's ear and muttered a few words. Gu Dayong nodded in satisfaction, and then winked at Zhang Yong. ! Zhang Yong understood that all the anger held in Zhang Yong's heart was about to explode now. Zhang Yong got up and knelt down, crying: "The emperor Shengming, the minister has something important to tell!"

Emperor Zhu was originally happily celebrating, but he was shocked when he saw Zhang Yong's appearance suddenly, and asked: "Zhang Aiqing, why can't I just say that there is no defense!" Zhang Yong quickly took out the memorial to impeach Liu Jin from his sleeve. Present it to the emperor. Emperor Zhu didn’t know what medicine Zhang Yong was selling in the gourd. He opened the memorial and listed the 17 crimes of Liu Jin’s crimes. Emperor Zhu couldn’t believe his eyes. He thought that Liu Jin was doing his duty for the country. How could there be so many crimes, Zhu The emperor furiously said: "Zhang Aiqing, I, I know that you have a gap with Grandpa Liu on weekdays. The things you listed are just silly?"

Zhang Yong didn't expect Emperor Zhu to be so angry, and he didn't mean to blame Liu Jin. On the contrary, he wanted to ask his own teacher and knelt down and said: "The emperor, all the things listed by the minister are true. The picket King Anhua rebelled and learned that everything was because Liu Jin arranged for his confidant Dali Temple Shaoqing Zhou Dong in the name of rectifying the military village to check acres of land in Ningxia, and urged him to collect food and payment. After Zhou Dong arrived, he would drink and have fun every day. Confiscated indiscriminately, the people do not live.

That's why King Anhua played the banner of rebellion! "Emperor Zhu didn't believe what Zhang Yong said because of his preference for Liu Jin. However, when Zhang Yong showed evidence, Emperor Zhu was still shocked and asked in surprise: "Zhang Aiqing, what is said to be true?" Liu Jin bears me? "Seeing that the time is right, Emperor Zhu has begun to doubt Liu Jin. Now is the best time to eradicate Liu Jin. Yang Yiqing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The emperor, the old minister, together with Master Zhang, is entangled in the cause of King Anhua's rebellion. The above is a fact. In addition, the local people in Ningxia have already hated Liu Jin. The folk children sang like "The Year of Zhengde, the traitor is in the lead, and Zhou Lang is sent to mess, the thief Liu Jin, is greedy, deceives the top and conceals the bottom, weeping ghosts and gods. , King Anhua, the heart is not good, the rebellion is lifeless, Sun Jingwen, not a great god, talks about soldiers pretending to be gods on paper."

The evidence for this matter is solid, and the ministers dare not hide it! "Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing at this time did not focus all their eyes on the emperor, but on Gu Dayong's body. Princess Changning, who was sitting next to the emperor, also kept winking at Gu Dayong. Gu Dayong has been observing Zhu. The expression of the emperor Gu Dayong was slightly worse than Liu Jin's thoughts, but it was much more sinister than Zhang Yong. Now the situation is leaning on one side. Gu Dayong is the one who is most willing to knock down the water dog. Gu Dayong got up and knelt down and said, "The emperor Shengming, Liu Jin really has a rebellious heart. Liu Jin didn't dare to say that the officials nowadays, because Liu Jin had already arranged heavy troops to surround the entire imperial city. As long as we threatened him, he would jump the wall and rebel directly! Just now I came down to report it, and didn't disperse until Liu Jin left the soldiers surrounding the imperial city. Your lord, Liu Jin is really going to rebel! "

Emperor Zhu really believed the people’s words at this time. It suddenly looked like a frustrated ball. After thinking about Liu Jin with himself for so many years, he didn’t expect that the person who wanted to rebel would be him today, and Liu Jin was an eunuch in the eyes of Emperor Zhu. There are no children, and it's useless to rebel, so Emperor Zhu didn't take Liu Jin seriously! Emperor Zhu said to himself: "Liu Jin, I really failed me!" Princess Changning, seeing that the Emperor's brother hadn't reacted for a long time, she hurriedly continued: "Emperor Brother, you have not brought down Liu Jin as a thief, is it true? Do you have to wait until he rebelled?” Emperor Zhu, although he was reluctant, but relative to his own rights and status, he had no feelings at all. Emperor Zhu immediately ordered “Gu Dayong to mobilize all the people in the West Factory. The Yulin Army and others surrounded Liu Jin's mansion. I, I want to capture Liu Jin personally!"
