Liu Jin's private residence in Anfufang

Since her brother's death, Liu Jin has been allowed to take leave. She does not have to stay in the palace at night and can stay at home for a long time to attend to the funeral.

Liu Jin relied on his great achievements in helping the emperor take care of the annoying Jin Dynasty. He accepted such treatment calmly, and even his previous fear of the emperor finding out about his speeches had receded.

For such a great achievement, even if there is a memorial, the emperor should expose it and reward him heavily.

What's more, the Qing Dynasty in Henan is coming soon.

Sure enough, his nephew went from being a member of one hundred households to one thousand households.

The only thing that dissatisfied him was that Zhang Yong's brother was also awarded the award.

But no matter how unhappy Liu Jin was, he had to admit that Zhang Yong's contribution this time was comparable to his.

However, even if he admits it, it doesn't mean that he can tolerate Zhang Yong's coming to Beijing to present prisoners with more glory than him!

Especially at the palace banquet, Liu Jin was particularly frightened by the emperor's closeness to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong is already the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor. Where can he move the reward again? The Superintendent of Ceremonies!

No! Zhang Yong can’t stay!

Of course, now it is impossible to kill Zhang Yong like Qiu Ju.

At the very least, we must get him out of Beijing!

When Liu Jin left the palace that day, he hurriedly moved forward the date of his brother's funeral. This was indeed to suppress Zhang Yong's arrogance and also to send a warning to those outsiders.

Among them, there is also the intention to test the emperor's attitude.

The funeral was held on August 15th, and Liu Jin went to the palace to report to the emperor.

The reason is very simple. The weather is hot and the body cannot be stored. A Taoist priest was invited to do the math and found that only August 15th was the closest day without conflict.

If the emperor shook his head and said it was inappropriate, and asked to buy more ice, Liu Jin would of course change the date immediately.

However, after understanding the emperor's attitude, we have to change the arrangements.

But the emperor agreed, saying that he would only allow the deceased to rest in peace according to nature. He also comforted him and gave him many funeral objects.

Liu Jin calmed down a little, and after finishing the funeral and regaining the respect of the officials, Liu Jin was not in a hurry to enter the palace and stay by the emperor's side day and night.

Competing with Zhang Yong for favor in front of the emperor would be a waste of time. How to get Zhang Yong away from the emperor is the right way.

In the past few days, he saw Tian'er calling Zhang Cai, Liu Yu and other confidants to discuss together.

Shanshan couldn't let Zhang Yong go back. The two newly opened horse markets had wiped out the influence of the vassal kings. Liu Jin was still planning to make a lot of money by getting involved in border trade. How could An allow Zhang Yong to stay ahead?

It is impossible for Zhang Yong to take advantage of his great victory and push him to the corners of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Jiangnan is a rich land, and I can't bear to let him go.

In the end, it was Zhang Caijian who asked Zhang Yong to go to Henan.

I went to Shanxi in the name of inspecting the farmland granaries. Now I am going to Henan, so I would like to invite him over.

Ever since King Zheng's childless kingdom was eliminated, the feudal princes in Henan were not at ease either. Even Zhang Yong, who had just put an end to the feudal rebellion, was still in trouble.

The more I think about it, the more I think it would be a great idea for Zhang Yong to go to Henan.

The best thing is...

"Henan, isn't there a bandit problem? Eunuch Zhang was also good at suppressing bandits back then, so he can be considered useful." Zhang Caishi said casually.

It is also possible to use the "bandit trouble" to let Eunuch Zhang stay in Henan "forever".

They exchanged glances with each other, and everyone smiled and understood each other tacitly.

"If there is no eunuch guarding the border gate between Shanshan and Shaanxi, Wei Bin can go." Zhang Cai said again.

Remembering that Wei Bin had taken advantage of Wang Shouren by getting He Jian down, Liu Jin became very angry. He was going to deal with Wei Bin, but he didn't have his hands free.

"No, the market is opening over there, it's not cheap, you idiot!" Liu Jin said bitterly.

Zhang Cai smiled and said: "How dare Wei Bin not respect Qiansui?"

Wei Bin has indeed always been Liu Jin's subordinate. No matter how self-aggrandizing he is, he never dares to be disrespectful to Liu Jin.

Now the governor in charge of the East Factory was thrown from the prosperous capital city and the position of the emperor's confidant to the desolate border. Even if he had to open a horse market, it would be a great punishment. It could be regarded as a punishment for Wei Bin who indirectly helped Wang Shouren rise to power.

And how could Wei Bin survive in that bitter cold place? If he was smart, in order to return to the capital, he would definitely try his best to curry favor with Liu Jin and send money to Liu Jin in large quantities.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin relaxed, nodded, and said: "That's fine. Just let him go."

As for taking over the East Factory, we can’t look for the old people from the East Palace this time! These people always have some weight in the emperor’s heart. But we can’t raise another Qiu Ju or Zhang Yonglai!

After careful consideration, Liu Jin chose Fan Song, an internal official who had nothing to do with the old people in the East Palace, to take charge of the East Factory. This man was not very talented, but he had the advantage of being loyal and obedient to Liu Qiansui.

As the discussions were completed in the past few days, Liu Jin and his party began to take advantage of the undecided reward to start making plans. One was to get Zhang Yong away, and the other was to build momentum for the heroic Cao Xiong to seek rewards, so as to make arrangements in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Before falling asleep that night, Liu Jin was still thinking that the situation in Henan had been exaggerated, and seeing that the emperor's attitude had loosened, Zhang Cai, Liu Yu, and Cao Yuan should work harder in the past few days and throw Zhang Yong directly.

It's a shame that Zhang Yong has people helping him in the court.

Because of his friendship with Wang Shouren, Wang Hua, an old man, jumped out to stir things up.

And that little kid Shen Rui has also returned to Beijing!

Zhang Yong has helped the Shen family, and Shen Rui has fawned over Zhang Yong before, so he will definitely hinder him this time.

He is just an old man, but the little boy is someone who can speak well in front of the emperor.

Either way, we have to find a way to make Shen Rui, a little kid, have no time to take care of himself...

Damn it, I hate that there are no useful people in Shandong...

Can things in Henan be related to Shandong...

Liu Jin's mind was so chaotic that it took him a long time to fall asleep. His dreams were also chaotic, and he slept lightly. Some slight movement in the middle of the night woke him up.

The young chamberlain who had been serving him knelt outside the tent and said anxiously: "Qiansui, little Eunuch Jin has come to convey the order. Long live the Lord summons Qiansui to the palace."

This Xiao Jin was Liu Jin's spy around Liu Zhong. He often came out to deliver letters to Liu Jin for various reasons. It was normal for him to come to deliver orders.

Liu Jin didn't have any suspicion at all, and let the little chamberlain quickly change his clothes, thinking about what could make the emperor call him in the middle of the night.

Counting on fingers, I guess the only one that caused trouble was the vassal king, and probably Henan. King Zheng did something extraordinary to eliminate the country without a son...

Liu Jin dressed up and hurried out of the upper room. The soft sedan was ready outside, and Xiao Jin was waiting aside. When he saw him coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.

Liu Jin said something as he walked and got into the soft sedan.

Four tall young men lifted up the sedan and walked quickly. Xiao Jin's face was full of urgency, and he trotted after him, wheezing and panting, to report to Liu Jin inside.

"I really don't know what happened... Cai Qian came here in advance, and then went out to bring Cai's consort in. After a while, he was called to deliver the order for you to enter the palace. When he came out, he also heard

I asked Cui Cheng to pass on Zhang Yong and Peng Qing to pass on Gu Dayao."

Liu Jin rubbed her temples. Consort Cai had arrived. It was indeed a clan matter. Could it be that someone had reported something secretly?

Telling secrets about clan members is not very popular in Xiaomiao and today, but it was quite common in Chengzu's time.

Could it be that after seeing the emperor making a big move against the clan and rewarding the Shen brothers who initiated the "Zong-Fan Regulations", some people couldn't help but come to report and plan for a future?

Gu Dayong is in charge of the West Factory, what about Zhang Yong... Could it be that the emperor wants Zhang Yong to quell the chaos?

That was really great. He was worried about Zhang Yongong getting out of Beijing.

When Liu Jin thought about it like this, he became happy. His sleepiness immediately disappeared, and he began to think about how he should respond.

After a while, Liu Jin arrived at the front yard and got off the sedan, but no prepared carriages and horses came.

Liu Jin, who was eager to deceive Zhang Yong in front of the emperor, couldn't help but became furious and yelled at the servants around him. The servants were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. They kowtowed in a smart way and shouted to call someone, and hurriedly ran to the front yard to be on duty.

But as soon as he left the hall, the man stumbled and rolled back again, stammering: "Chitose! Outside..."

Applause rang out in the quiet night, and a loud voice said: "Chitose? Eunuch Liu is so majestic!"

The atmosphere in the hospital suddenly became tense.

Liu Jin was stunned at first, this voice, this voice... Soon, the string in his mind broke, not good!!

A lamp was thrust into the courtyard, and a young man in black hunched over, holding the lamp, illuminating the people behind him.

Behind him, Zhang Yong and Shi Shiran, also dressed in black and smiling, walked into the courtyard.

Liu Jin had already shouted: "Get him quickly!"

At the same time, Zhang Yong also shouted, "Take it!"

Hula la, a group of men in black swarmed in, all of them with extraordinary skills. Most of the servants of the Liu family in the courtyard were kneeling on the ground. Before they could react, they were pinned to the ground and tied up.

There was an immediate chaos in the courtyard.

Liu Jin was also tied up by several men in black, wiping his shoulders and covering his back.

His eyes were split, he struggled desperately, and screamed: "Zhang Yong! Are you going to rebel?! How dare you kidnap your grandfather?!"

Although he yelled fiercely, his heart kept sinking. Damn it, he wanted Zhang Yong's life. Who knew that this kid was so vicious that he would dare to bring someone into his house to kill him!!

Zhang Yong walked slowly over, and the young man in black on the side raised the lantern very wisely and shined it on Liu Jin's face. Zhang Yong looked at it carefully and sneered: "Old Liu, you said the opposite. It's you who are up to something bad. Your Majesty."

Fang issued an order to let a certain family capture you."
