The Rise of the European Emperor

"What are you doing? Are you blind? You don't know who our family is?" Liu Jin struggled angrily and shouted.

An ordinary sergeant would probably be timid in front of Liu Jin. After all, Liu Jin has a bad reputation. However, the ones sent to arrest Liu Jin this time were soldiers from the Fenyong Battalion, one of the 12th Regiment Battalions, who were directly descended from Zhang Yong, so naturally they were not afraid of Liu Jin.

You know, although Liu Jin has power all over the world, he really has nothing to do with Zhang Yong. At first, Liu Jin wanted to assign Zhang Yong to Nanjing. As a result, after Zhang Yong learned about it, he didn't buy it and beat Liu Jin directly. But Zhang Yong was fine, because Zhengde helped the two make peace.

Since then, Zhang Yong has become one of the rare eunuchs in the inner court who can confront Liu Jin head-on, and Gu Dayong and others are far behind. In addition, Zhang Yong himself controls the 12th Regiment Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, and holds heavy troops, so Liu Jin has nothing to do with him. Because of this, when Yang Yiqing schemed against Liu Jin, he would bring Zhang Yong along. Because Zhang Yong is the great eunuch who dared to confront Liu Jin head-on. Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng and others would probably not dare to confront Liu Jingang. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Because the boss of his family dared to beat Liu Jin, the people in the 12th Regiment Battalion were more aggressive and not very afraid of Liu Jin. If it was the soldiers of other battalions, they would probably tremble with fright when they heard the word Liu Jin.

Liu Jin still wanted to resist, and planned to ask his subordinates to save him. As a result, the captain of the Fenyong Battalion calmed down Liu Jin in an instant:

"Your Majesty is waiting at your residence!"

Liu Jin immediately knew that this was Zhengde who wanted to ask him for questioning. However, thinking that the counterfeit jade seals and jade belts were all smashed by him, he should have no weakness. As for the family's money, Liu Jin touched the newly prepared account book in his arms and sighed.

After Liu Jin returned to his mansion, he saw Zhengde, and before he had time to kneel down, he heard Zhengde shout:

"Old Liu, I confide in you, why do you have a different heart?"

\u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Liu Jin was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly reacted and knelt down to defend himself:

"Your Majesty loves this old slave very much, but how can this old slave have any dissatisfaction with His Majesty?"

"Hehe, there is no dissent? Why do you bring a weapon to me when you have no dissent? Do you want to assassinate me?"

Liu Jin was suddenly a little confused:

"Your Majesty, you gave me everything I have. Without Your Majesty, this old slave is nothing. How could I want to assassinate His Majesty? The loyalty of this old slave to His Majesty can be learned from heaven and earth!"

Liu Jin said this with sincerity, if Zhengde didn't give him the right to wear red, and pushed most of the government affairs to him, Liu Jin really wouldn't be so powerful.

But Zhengde doesn't believe what he said now. Because Zhengde saw the fan with the dagger hidden in it with his own eyes. Therefore, Zhengde threw the fan in front of Liu Jin and said: \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

"Your so-called loyalty is to bring a fan with a hidden dagger to see me? Do you want to plot to assassinate me?" Zhengde growled angrily.

Seeing the fan, Liu Jin's expression changed drastically—after all the calculations, Liu Jin just forgot about the fan...

Before, Marin reminded Liu Jin to destroy the contraband, and Liu Jin did so. However, the workmanship of this fan was so exquisite that Liu Jin liked it very much, so he didn't destroy it. Moreover, if no one finds out that the dagger is hidden in the fan, it is indeed not considered contraband.

Under normal circumstances, if ordinary soldiers came to search Liu Jin's house, even if they saw this fan, they would not think there was a problem. Old Liu likes to hide daggers in his fan, can you manage it as a soldier? It's not illegal...

But this time, Zhengde personally led a team to ransack the house. Moreover, Zhengde has a good memory, remembering that Liu Jin often carried this fan with him in summer. Then, there happened to be a dagger hidden in the fan...so Liu Jin was out of luck...\u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... this fan can hide a dagger, but every time the old slave faces the holy,

I have never hidden a dagger in a fan..." At this time, Liu Jin could only insist that he had never brought Dagger Face Lord with him. Otherwise, just hiding Dagger Face Lord privately would be enough for him to die several times... …

"I didn't bring a dagger to see me? Who can prove it?" Zhengde asked angrily.

How can Liu Jin prove it? Time cannot be turned back, and there is no way to track it down. Therefore, Liu Jin can't defend himself at all now...

Therefore, Liu Jin can only kowtow vigorously at this time:

"Your Majesty, this old servant has never brought a dagger to see you! If there is even half a lie, this old servant is willing to be hacked into pieces!"

"I can cut you into pieces right now!" Zhengde said angrily.

Seeing that Liu Jin was about to be punished to death by the enraged Zhengde, at this time, Liu Zhong entered the back hall untimely, shouting excitedly as he walked: \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

"Your Majesty, I am overjoyed! The old minister has just made a rough calculation, and found that Liu Jin's mansion has 2.5 million taels of gold and silver, and even more than 5 million taels of silver! If it is collected into the national treasury, it can be worth several years of taxes. Ah! Your Majesty, give an order to move all these ill-gotten gains to the treasury!"

Liu Zhong asked Liu Jin's housekeeper to check the accounts just now, and as soon as he got the approximate figure, he came to announce the good news excitedly. However, he came at a very bad time...

Liu Jin was desperately enduring Zhengde's anger. Hearing what Liu Zhong said, he immediately regained his spirits. Because, he remembered the ledger in his arms. So Liu Jin said loudly:

"Don't put that gold and silver in the treasury!"

Then, Zhengde, Liu Zhong and others all looked at Liu Jin in surprise—you are going to die, why are you still reluctant to part with the money?

"What? Your eunuch Liu is still reluctant to part with the money?" Zhengde sneered. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Liu Jin reacted and explained:

"Your Majesty, the money does not belong to the old slave, but belongs to the palace treasury!"

"What? From the inner treasury?" Hearing what Liu Jin said, Zhengde was stunned...

Liu Jin took the opportunity to take out the account book, raised his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, this is the account book made by the old slave. Please have a look at it. The money is temporarily put here by the old slave and does not belong to the old slave. Otherwise, they should all be placed in the East House. The East House is the The mansion of the old slave, and the west house, was temporarily used by the old slave as a warehouse. In fact, it was money stored in the internal treasury!"

Liu Zhong said angrily at this moment:

"You traitor, what's the difference between putting money into the national treasury and the internal treasury? Putting it in the treasury is just used for the people, which is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people! Even if you send it to the internal treasury, don't you want to transfer it to the treasury for use? Why bother?" \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Liu Jin had calmed down at this time, he shook his head and said:

"Liu Xueshi's words are wrong! After the money is sent to the internal treasury, most of it will be allocated to the national treasury. However, whoever allocates it is very particular..."

"Why do you pay attention to the law?" Liu Zhong asked angrily.

"If the treasury receives the money directly, then all of this has nothing to do with your majesty! Moreover, if your majesty is short of money in the future, you will have to ask the Ministry of Households for money in a low voice. You poor literati may find excuses to refuse, and you will not be able to accept the money." I will advise His Majesty not to be extravagant..."

As Liu Jin said, Zhengde's heart was also moved. Because what Liu Jin said is the truth...

"But if it goes to the inner treasury first, then the cabinet needs money, and His Majesty has to ask His Majesty to allocate it. And His Majesty's appropriation is due to His Majesty's great grace... Moreover, if it is used for disaster relief, the victims will also know-this is His Majesty's inner treasury." The disaster relief funds allocated. Then, the people will also be grateful for His Majesty's kindness..."

"Isn't this unnecessary? In the end, the cabinet and hundreds of officials have to be assigned to the people?" Liu Zhong said angrily.

Liu Jin straight shook his head:

"It's not the same! It's not the same! The cabinet allocates funds, and the people are grateful for the kindness of the elders! But when His Majesty allocates funds from the internal treasury, the people are grateful for your majesty's kindness! What do the elders want to be famous for? Rebellion? The kindness of the world should be given by your majesty." come out, not the cabinet and hundreds of officials!" Liu Jin said eloquently.

Liu Zhong was at a loss for words at once, but Zhengde's eyes brightened when he heard it...

Because he succeeded to the throne at a young age, Zhengde has not achieved much fame until now. Therefore, the little emperor is very eager for fame.

And just as Liu Jin said, if there is a disaster in a certain place, and I allocate funds from the internal treasury to relieve the disaster, then what the people are grateful for is my kindness... This kind of fame is called a slip...

Therefore, Zhengde finally agreed to Liu Jin's request to put all the gold and silver in the West House into the inner treasury. Then, Zhengde, who had eaten enough benefits, was too embarrassed to kill Liu Jin.

Before leaving, Zhengde thought for a while and said:

"Old Liu, I can't easily forgive you with a dagger in front of you. Otherwise, where is the law of the country? But because you have raised so much gold and silver for the internal treasury... so, you go to Nanjing to accompany Wang Zhi ..."

In this way, Liu Jin, the once prominent eunuch, was demoted by Zhengde to Fengyu (the eunuch in charge of sacrifices in the inner court), and was demoted to Nanjing to accompany Wang Zhi, the eunuch who was in power during the Chenghua period...
