With tears in their eyes, the people hugged Qin Lin back to the mansion, until the gate of the vermilion lacquer copper nail slowly closed, and there were still many people gathered outside the mansion gate, unwilling to disperse for a long time.

As the door closed to the last gap, Fuzhong was in a different situation.

Xu Xinyi rushed over as if she had long legs, seeing that Qin Lin was seriously injured, her plump lips were so plump that she could hang an oil bottle, Qing Dai was only two or three steps behind with the golden medicine, looking at the blood stains on Brother Qin's body, the little girl's face was wrinkled.

The female soldier grabbed Lu Yuanzhi's ear: "What's the matter?" Didn't you see what you were going to do? ”

"How did you get it like this? The clothes are all together with the flesh and blood," the female soldier B brought a basin of water, ready to clean Qin Lin's wounds.

"Fortunately, I prepared scissors," the female soldier Bing sizzled and looked at Qin Lin's buttocks, ready to cut his clothes and pants that had been broken by the court staff and adhered to the flesh and blood.

Xiao Ding was also anxious, and when she saw that the female soldier was panicking, she hurriedly reminded her: "Sister, be careful, don't cut where you shouldn't......"

Where should it not be cut? I poof~~ Qin Lin almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, only to feel that the egg hurt tightly, and he was still lying on his stomach and pretending to be dead, so he quickly jumped down from the coffin with his buttocks, and pushed with both hands: "Don't cut, don't cut, if you cut it in the wrong place, my lord, the happiness of the second half of my life will be ruined by you!" ”

Yes? Xu Xinyi's apricot eyes widened, and her delicate lips opened slightly, why did Qin Lin, who was unconscious just now, suddenly become alive?

"Brother Qin wasn't beaten, it's all pretended," Lu Yuanzhi cried with a sad face, and said to the female soldier armor: "Wife, you can let go now, your ears are about to be torn off." ”

Niu Dali also smiled and said a little about today's events.

Whew~~ Xu Xinyi patted his plump chest, and suddenly there was a wave of turbulence: "I was scared to death just now, so much blood, hum, you surnamed Qin are so dishonest, you closed the door, and you were lying on the coffin and pretending to be dead!" ”

Qin Lin laughed, joking with you.

Qing Dai was already smiling, and pulled Xu Xinyi: "Anyway, it's a good thing that Brother Qin is not injured, just now Qing Dai silently wished him safe and sound, it's really good to be like this now!" ”

Or Qingdai is the most well-behaved! Qin Lin laughed and hugged Qing Dai and turned around twice.

Asha and Xu Wenchang walked out of the study together, and pouted disdainfully when they saw this situation: "Hmph, is it fun to worry so many people?" It's really like what Sister Xiaoding said, someone cut it by mistake and cut it to a place where it shouldn't be, and that's only a hundred miles, hehehehe......"

What is this? Xu Wenchang couldn't cry or laugh, rubbed Asha's head twice, caught up with a smile on his face, and slammed Qin Lin to the ground: "Congratulations to Qin Taibao, congratulations to Qin Taibao, come down with a court cane, and win the hearts of all the people, from now on, all the people in the government and the opposition who are committed to the Jiangling Party will regard you as Taishan Beidou!" ”

"Look at what you said, as if I carried the coffin to death with ulterior motives!" Qin Lin pretended to glare at Xu Wenchang, but then he couldn't help laughing.

Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali, Jia, Yi, Bing Ding, and all the cronies sighed in unison, our Chief Qin, there is no cure!

Qin Lin's court staff must be deceived, even if it is worth taking a little risk, so the words of the admonition written by Xu Wenchang for him are quite hot and intense.

The Gangneung Party was overthrown, the old party appeared on the scene, and the imperial court changed course, but the Gangneung Party has been in power for ten years and has a deep foundation. Countless protégés and former officials are still all over the court and beyond.

Reform of the new policy, benefit the country and the people, from the imperial court, Confucianism to the people, there are many, many supporters, especially the policy of clearing the acres of land and suppressing annexation, which is deeply supported by thousands of ordinary people.

The reason why the Jiangling Party has fallen into decline is not the incompetence of ministers such as Wang Guoguang and Zeng Shengwu in the DPRK, nor the lack of supporters of the New Deal in the southern seven and northern sixty-three provinces, and even Zhang Siwei's sudden defection is not the fatal cause, in the final analysis, the most important problem is that after Zhang Juzheng's death, the entire Jiangling Party lacks a strong leader, so that Zhang Siwei, a bastard, has been pushed to the position of first assistant.

Qin Lin is a young junior, although he has made a lot of contributions, but his qualifications are too shallow and too shallow, in the Ming officialdom of talking about friendship and seniority, there are many obstacles to taking the position, even the eloquent Zhang Juzheng, before his death, he only dared to ask him to take over the Jiangling Party ten years later and continue to implement the new policy.

Zhang Siwei was exposed in advance, and regardless of the risks afterwards, when the ministers of the Jiangling Party went out of Beijing in disgrace, they resolutely went to the Changting to bid farewell, and they had won the trust of Wang Guoguang, Zeng Xingwu, Wang Zheng and others, but to be unique, and even forcibly ascend to the throne, it was still a difference in fame and a bad reputation for Shilin.

In the eyes of the whole world, he is no longer a young warrior in brocade who can only solve cases, he will be a big banner on behalf of the Jiangling Party and the New Deal after Zhang Juzheng!

Therefore, Qin Lin was not wronged at all in this court cane, and he was rightfully beaten...... "Next, I will be dismissed, right?" Qin Lin thought about it and laughed, "I probably won't add the word never." ”

"Dismissal?" Xu Xinyi's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly crossed his waist and shouted: "Why did you dismiss you?" has made so many contributions, saying that if you don't say it's gone? It's not enough to beat the court staff, but also to be dismissed? ”

Qing Dai's expression darkened slightly, and she grinned: "Brother Qin was dismissed, we will raise you and let you do a chores in the medical hall." ”

"The position of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town, I'm sitting a little impatient!" Qin Lin winked at the two ladies.

"Promotion!" Xu Xinyi was puzzled, grabbed Qin Lin's arm and shook it: "You are so young to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and then rise all the way up, be a first-class member, and be the prince of the marquis......"

Qin Lin patted her hand: "Liu Shouyou, the governor of Jinyi above, Zhang Zunyao in Nanzhen Fusi, Zhang Siwei is the first assistant, and Zhang Whale is the governor of Dongchang, such a pattern, the saint is interested in mutual checks and balances, where do you think I can rise?" ”

"Then I can't get dismissed!" Xu Xinyi was puzzled, "Could it be that after you were dismissed, you rose faster?" Outrageous! ”

"I'm dismissed, of course the situation will change," Qin Lin smiled and winked meaningfully.

Zhang Whale, Liu Shouyou, Zhang Siwei, Yan Qing, they pointed the finger at Qin Lin together, but they themselves are not one heart, if Qin Lin is dismissed or demoted and leaves Beijing, what kind of interesting drama will appear next?

There are also Shen Shixing and Yu Youding, the two "remnants" of the Jiangling Party, and Zheng Niangniang, who always wants to kill the emperor's eldest son and make her son the prince, what kind of good show will there be at that time, it is worth looking forward to.

Xu Xinyi let go of his hand as if he didn't understand, roughly guessed the inside story, and looked at Xu Wenchang who was smiling and stroking his beard next to him, and knew that these things must be the ghost of this old thing, hmph, catch him when you have time to force a confession!

Qing Dai was very open-minded, took Xu Xinyi's arm and said with a smile: "Sister Xu, what does it matter if Brother Qin is an official or not, I don't believe that you married him because he was an official." ”

Xu Xinyi is the daughter of the Duke of the Kingdom, as long as she is willing, even if she marries a prince, it is not unusual, when she married Qin Lin, this guy was able to do a thousand households! Of course, earlier that night at the Tianxiang Pavilion...... Miss Xu's honey-colored face turned red, and she pulled Qingdai's slightly baby fat little face: "You will please your brother Qin, in fact, it doesn't matter if you are an official or not, I, I just hold the grievances for him!" Okay, okay, let's marry a chicken and a dog and a dog, it's okay, right? ”

Hey, hey, Qin Lin couldn't cry or laugh, it turns out that I'm worth so low, chicken, dog...... Everyone was happy to talk and laugh, who knew that it didn't take long for someone outside to shout, and the porter newspaper was Zhang Xiaoyang and Zhang Gonggong asking to see him, Qin Lin hurriedly opened the side door and let him in.

Zhang Xiaoyang ran profusely sweating, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and his face turned a little pale: "It's not good, it's not good, it's not good, Qin Taibao, Zhang Sili is dead!" ”

Qin Lin and Xu Wenchang were taken aback, Zhang Hong was pushed to the position of the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, this upright old man did not live up to Qin Lin's trust, and did do a lot of things for the Jiangling Party and the New Deal, and played a very good role, but Wanli insisted on going his own way, and the old school counterattacked and calculated, Zhang Hong was always unable to return to the sky.

Of course, Zhang Hong can't be blamed for this, he has done his best.

Qin Lin stood up and asked in surprise, "How did Zhang Hong die?" ”

"Hang yourself," Zhang Xiaoyang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Take me to see it!" Qin Lin looked solemn and couldn't wait to investigate the case. Zhang Hong, the old eunuch, is both honest and selfless, and his surname is tenacious, at such a young age, he should not be the kind of person who will commit suicide.

Zhang Xiaoyang had a bitter face: "Qin Taibao, you are ...... now Disguise yourself as a little eunuch and go with me. ”

The residence of Zhang Hong, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, has been surrounded, and the three layers inside and three layers outside the Jinyi school captain, the imperial horse supervisor, the military eunuch, and the Dongchang fanzi are surrounded by water.

Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun's face was gloomy, his eyelids jumped, and his snort moved, showing that he was extremely excited in his heart.

On the ground in front of him, on a straw mat lay Zhang Hong's body, the old eunuch's white hair was combed in a bun naked, with a wingless black veil on the top of his head, his puffy face was a little distorted and deformed, his eyes were open and he was dead, and a deep groove under his chin was purple, which was particularly shocking.

Wanli's hands were trembling, and in his opinion, Zhang Hong had protested to him the strongest with death.

He once thought that power was everything, and that the ruler of the world would naturally submit to all officials, and that the entire empire would obey him, regardless of whether the holy decree was right or wrong, anyway, those who obey me in the whole world will prosper and those who disobey me will die.

Look, after I overthrew Feng Bao and drove out the Jiangling Party, didn't all the ministers in the court who relied on the old and betrayed the old make promises to me, lest they accidentally anger me?

But Zhang Hong's death has broken this dream of being immersed in the desire for power, and he has become the eunuch in charge of the seal, the first person in the inner court, even in the whole world, is also one of the people at the top of the power pyramid, and he left everything without regrets, took a rope to understand his surname, and sent a silent protest to Wanli with his life!

Zhang Hong's death, for the complacent Wanli, is tantamount to a slap in the head, Zhang Hong's slightly open lips lying on the ground seem to say to him: You can rule the world, you can do whatever you want, but I would rather die than go against your will!

"How, how can this be?" Wanli rubbed his hands in annoyance, "I just made the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, and I didn't want to die, I, what am I sorry for you?" ”

Zhang Whale's eyes flashed, and he explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself, Zhang Hong is riddled with old and sick, and he can't think of hanging, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty." Alas, it is also deplorable that Zhang Hong's predecessors are loyal to the country with a clean breeze on their sleeves, and they can't think of going to a dead end for a while, which is really a sigh! ”

"Cat Crying Mouse Fake Mercy!" Zhang Cheng scolded in a low voice, everyone knew that as soon as Zhang Hong died, Zhang Whale became a big hit with the palm print of the celebrant supervisor.

Zhang Siwei, Shen Shixing, and Yu Youding, three auxiliary ministers, worked in Wenyuan Pavilion in the Forbidden City, and they also hurried over when they heard the news.

When Zhang Siwei saw Zhang Hong's body, he had goosebumps all over his body, and quickly moved his eyes away.

Qin Tianjian secretly reported that the celestial phenomena were angry, and now even Zhang Hong, the head of the Inner Minister's Celebrant Seal, was killed, and he was really a little scared.

Zhang Cheng suddenly saw his nephew Zhang Xiaoyang coming over with several little eunuchs, one of whom was not familiar, so he took a few more looks.

The man gestured at him a few times, and Zhang Cheng suddenly couldn't cry or laugh: It turned out to be Qin Lin! Okay, just after beating the court staff, you put on makeup as a little eunuch and mixed in, you have the courage to wrap the sky.

Understanding what Qin Lin meant, Zhang Cheng rolled his eyes, and suddenly slipped out of the two little eunuchs who were serving Zhang Hong, and roared angrily: "What the hell is going on?!" Say! ”

The two little eunuchs looked at each other, and their voices dragged and cried: "Zhang Sili came back from the noon gate to watch the court staff Qin Taibao, and sighed all the way, he has been like this for a while, we don't care, come back and serve his old man to take a nap, how do you get the time to drink medicine, let's go in and wake him up, I saw him, his old man hanging on the beam......"

"Emperor, Emperor, if you hadn't insisted on going your own way, how could Zhang Hong commit suicide by hanging himself?" Empress Dowager Li's voice came from not far away, and she was supported by Zhu Yaoyuan, the eldest princess of Yongning, and walked slowly.

Since Feng Bao was expelled, there have been fewer and fewer eunuchs in the inner court who went to serve the Empress Dowager Li, and they quieted down in the busy Cining Palace, Zhu Yaoyuan was afraid that the queen mother was depressed, and often went over to accompany her, so that the Empress Dowager Li sighed, but she never thought that in the end, it was this daughter who did not get much love from herself, and she spent the most time with her.

"The son knocks to see the queen mother!" Zhu Yijun knelt down and saluted, his face was red and white, so much so that even Zhang Hong committed suicide, he also felt embarrassed, and it was difficult to explain to his mother.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yijun stood up, lowered his head and said: "Zhang Hong is old, and he has a lot ......of bone pain, so he can't think about it for a while."

"I'm also a little sick and bone-in-one, do you want the queen mother to be satisfied? Don't lie to your mother, it's obviously your unprovoked court staff Qin Taibao, Zhang Hong repeatedly persuaded him, so he committed suicide in anger," Empress Dowager Li had a cold face, just now her father Li Wei and brother Li Gao came to the palace and said that Qin Lin was beaten by the court staff, and the people of Jingshi outside were crying, she was very uncomfortable in her heart.

Wanli blushed and argued: "Yes, it was Qin Lin who talked nonsense in his book and bullied the king, so his son was able to stick him!" ”

Yongning Xiu's eyebrows were entangled in sorrow, and he stomped his feet lightly: "Brother Huang, you ...... also make the queen mother angry. ”

Thinking that Qin Lin was caned, she almost cried, and she couldn't cry in front of the queen mother, and Fang complained about the imperial brother thousands of times in her heart.

"That's it, Yao Yuan, your brother is the emperor, he is old now, and the queen mother can't control him," Empress Dowager Li sighed, and finally looked at the old Zhang Hong, who had served him for decades, and left hobbling away with the support of his daughter Yongning.

Wanli was depressed, the kind of sky-high momentum since he took power, so far most of it has been dispersed, but he feels extremely boring, just as Qin Lin's previous judgment, as the emperor Wanli can drive out the Jiangling Party, can expel Feng Bao, and snatch power from the hands of the Empress Dowager Li, but he can't change the mother and son, and he will never throw his mother, grandfather and uncle into the garbage heap.

Seeing this, Shen Shixing's heart moved, he thought about it, and asked in a cautious low voice: "Your Majesty, did Pan Jitao let him continue to ......?"

Wanli's face changed suddenly: "You have no jokes, how can you take it back?" What do you mean? ”

Shen Shixing was originally timid, but he was so frightened when he heard the words that he hurriedly closed his mouth and didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhang Cheng was thinking about what to do, when he suddenly heard someone whispering in his ear, it turned out that Qin Lin didn't know when he stood behind him and whispered something like this.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do," Zhang Cheng's face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "Qi Jiguang and Pan Ji are disloyal to the country, and they should indeed be dismissed from their posts, but Jizhen is an important border defense area, and the Huaihe River is also extremely important, this handover must not be careless, please Your Majesty is strictly responsible, so that they can properly handle the handover and leave their posts, otherwise they will be punished for several crimes, so that they will not be able to eat and go around!" ”

Ah, this method is wonderful, not only to remove the Gangneung Party from their posts, to make them disgraced, but also in the name of handover, to do things properly before they are allowed to leave, and the credit is all for the successor!

Zhang Siwei was so smart that he immediately understood and hurriedly expressed his support.

Wanli has great wisdom, a lot of little wisdom, and understands no slower than Zhang Siwei, at this time he is already a little afraid of government affairs, so he pushed the boat down the river and said: "Okay, let Qi Jiguang and Pan Jitao properly handle the handover, and then allow him to leave office and return to his hometown. ”

Whew~~ Qin Lin breathed a sigh of relief, there was finally a buffer, and the situation did not become the worst.

Wanli didn't want to stay at Zhang Hong's corpse for long, so he left with Zhang Jing and the ministers, but Zhang Cheng stayed under the pretext of staying and replaced the little eunuch who was guarding here with his confidant.

Qin Lin carefully inspected Zhang Hong's body, for a long time, gently closed his dead eyes with his palm, and muttered: "Zhang Hong, don't worry about you underground, I will definitely catch the murderer in the future and avenge you!" ”

Zhang Cheng's pupils dilated suddenly, and he stared at Qin Lin in surprise: Could it be that Zhang Hong didn't die by suicide?
