    On the morning of the day Liu Jin decided to attend the banquet, news came from the Fusi Yamen in Jinyiwei North Town.

    After Ren Liangbi, the left counselor of the General Affairs Department who requested the mass production of Fran cannons, was taken to prison, the commander Qin Kan ordered him to be tortured. It is said that there were endless screams in the prison that night. Rumor has it that Ren Liangbi  He only has half his life left and is about to die.

    When the news came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

    The ministers were angry, the censors were angry, Qin Kan was listed as the most important national thief after Liu Jin, and he was ranked in order of loyalty and treachery.

    Countless impeachment memorials flew into the palace like snowflakes.

    Eunuch Liu, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, who suddenly had a strong sense of justice, was furious. In the name of the Supervisor of Ceremonies and Xichang, he ordered the Jinyiwei to release innocent ministers immediately and ordered some people in high positions not to use their power to act against them.  The road goes further and further

    Eunuch Liu gave the order, and the fans of Xichang became more energetic. An operation codenamed "Rescuing Loyal Ministers and Liangliang" was launched quickly. The fans, who were like tigers and wolves, broke into the prison and fought with the Jinyi Colonel  After a hard fight, they finally rescued Ren Liangbi, who was covered in blood.

    Eunuch Liu, who had done many unjust things, finally did a good deed, so with Jiao Fang, Zhang Cai and other minions taking the lead in praising him, the whole court received rave reviews from civil and military officials, either sincerely or falsely.

    Since becoming the internal minister of the Ming Dynasty, has Liu Jin ever been praised so much?  For a time, a huge sense of happiness surrounded him. Liu Jin felt more fulfilled than ever before, and the belief that "I am actually a good person" was deeply implanted in his heart.

    You have to strike while the iron is hot, and you have to be a good person while it's hot.

    Although he had never heard of the so-called Fran cannon, Liu Jin's logic was very simple. Ren Liangbi was a loyal minister, and the suggestions made by the loyal minister must be correct. Otherwise, how could the loyal minister be highlighted?  How to show the correctness of Liu Eunuch's bravery to save loyal ministers?  Why highlight Qin Kan, a negative example that could not be more dark?

    The Forbidden Palace's Chief of Ceremonies issued an order.

    With the internal treasury allocating 400,000 taels of silver and mobilizing 2 million jins of pig iron from the treasury, officials and craftsmen from the Manufacturing Bureau and other officials and craftsmen removed the molds and started iron-making, and began to imitate the Franco cannon.

    Eunuch Liu, who had just done a good deed, issued this order and angered a group of court ministers.

    A group of veteran ministers headed by Liu Daxia turned their joy into anger and fiercely opposed the mass production of Fran cannons. In the ranking of traitors in the minds of the ministers, Qin Kan had just taken a slight lead, but was overtaken by Liu Jin. The title of the number one traitor was  Things take turns between the two of them.

    Liu Jin, who was in high spirits, did not expect the opposition from the Manchu Dynasty. He did not expect that his good intentions would actually cause trouble. He couldn't help but become angry, so the Chief of Ceremonies spread the word again.

    The Fran cannon must be mass-produced!  It's useless for anyone to object. Those who don't want to eat the imperial staff should leave and go home!

    ***************************************************  *************

    It is not difficult to pretend to be a good person, but what is difficult is to pretend to be a good person all your life.

    Liu Jin¡¯s performance fully proves that this sentence is an irrefutable truth.

    In less than a day, the good man Liu Eunuch could no longer pretend, showed his ferocious face, and drove the troubled ministers back home with curses and threats.

    At noon, Wenhua Hall of the Imperial Palace.

    It was quiet in the hall. The three cabinet ministers each occupied a desk, hunched over and reviewing the memorial.

    The hall was filled with the faint smell of sandalwood, and the sound of old coughs could be heard from time to time. The young eunuch on duty hurriedly held up an exquisite copper spittoon and handed it to Jiao Fang. Seeing the nearly eighty-year-old scholar Jiao coughing violently, the little eunuch  The eunuch smiled flatteringly and gently stroked Jiao Fang's back with one hand.

    After coughing for a long time, Jiao Fang spit into the spittoon, took the tea cup and rinsed her mouth, then panted and smiled apologetically at Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe on the other side.

    "I am old and useless, I have disturbed the peace of the two of you. I apologize for my sin."

    Yang Tinghe forced a smile twice, nodded towards Jiao Fang, then lowered his head and continued to review the memorial.

    Li Dongyang became more enthusiastic, stroking his beard and smiling lightly at Jiao Fang: "Mr. Jiao has been working hard for the country, but he must pay attention to his health. Things in the world will never be finished. Taking good care of your body is the right thing to do."

    Jiao Fang smiled and nodded: "Xi Ya is right. State affairs cannot be completed. Although I am already eighty, I still want to live a few more days to share the worries of our Majesty."

    A young eunuch walked into the palace and whispered to Jiao Fang: "Master Jiao, Eunuch Liu has invited me."

    Jiao Fang calmly put down her pen, stood up, straightened her clothes, smiled and confessed to Li and Yang, and slowly walked out of the Wenhua Hall.

    As soon as Jiao Fang left, Yang Tinghe, who had been silent, stood up and walked to LiBeside Dongyang, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xi Ya, this Jiao Fang and Liu Jinhang are in cahoots with each other. Why should you pay attention to such a person?"

    Li Dongyang smiled faintly and said: "Why do we have to be at war with each other to show the distinction between right and wrong, loyalty and traitor? For better or for worse, they are all ministers in the same palace. Are there not enough ministers who rely on Liu Jin in the court now? What can you do to them?  ?¡±

    Yang Tinghe sighed: "The powerful eunuchs are in power, and the ugly people are clinging to them. The court is getting more and more chaotic As soon as the morning court ended today, Liu Jin handed a note to the cabinet, saying that the Manufacturing Bureau was imitating the mass-produced Franco machine artillery.  After we vote, we will send it to the Director of Ceremonies for approval. This eunuch likes to have a hand in everything. Doesn¡¯t he know how much people¡¯s money and support will be spent once the Franco cannon is mass-produced? Mr. Xiya, do you want to approve this vote?  "

    Li Dongyang stroked his beard and muttered, as silent as an old monk in meditation.

    Yang Tinghe waited for a long time, but when he saw that Li Dongyang had no response, he couldn't help but become anxious: "Mr. Xiya, please tell me whether it is accurate or not."

    Li Dongyang slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of wisdom flashed in his eyes.

    "Jiefu, tell me, did Liu Jin really come up with the idea for mass production of the Franco machine gun?"

    Yang Tinghe was stunned and said: "Liu Jin has handed over the note, who is he?"

    Li Dongyang was noncommittal and chuckled twice, saying: "I heard a few days ago that Shanyin Marquis Qin Kan met with Liu Daxia and asked for the mass production of Fran cannons. As a result, Liu Shangshu had a hard time with him.  The next day, he and Ren Liangbi had an inexplicable enmity. Qin Kan immediately changed his tone and turned into fierce opposition despite clearly asking for mass production. Another day later, Liu Jin mysteriously died in his outer house in Lingchunfang.  Fire, the person who set the fire was Liu Daxia¡¯s only son"

    "Mr. Xiya means"

    "Jiefu, don't you think there's something fishy about these things? In my eyes, Qin Kan is not the kind of superficial person who takes offense at state affairs for personal grudges. Liu Jin's foreign residence is magnificent, but he chose to leave at this juncture.  Got the water, haha"

    Yang Tinghe was certainly not a fool to be a cabinet bachelor. After Li Dongyang spoke a few words, Yang Tinghe immediately opened his eyes wide and remained speechless.

    Li Dongyang's eyes narrowed to a slit: "There must be an internal reason for this. Our Eunuch Liu may have been used as a weapon without realizing it This little fox is becoming more and more a spirit, haha."  (To be continued.
