Chapter 1223: Into the Ground for Peace

"The prince is here, I don't know why?" After welcoming Li Yuntian into the celebrant eunuch, Wang Zhen asked his subordinates to offer the tribute tea rewarded by the orthodox emperor, and asked Li Yuntian with a smile.

"Deputy Governor Wang, the emperor read that Liu Qiu has been careful to do things for the court in recent years, so he has given a favor to his two sons, allowing them not to be burdened by their father."

Li Yuntian took a sip of tribute tea, then put down the teacup and said to Wang Zhen with a smile, "Although Liu Qiu is a criminal and deceitful to the king, no matter how much he is also a waiter of the Hanlin Academy, the emperor can't bear his violent corpse mass grave, and I hope that Deputy Chief Wang can urge the people of Beizhen Fusi to check his whereabouts." ”

Although Wang Zhen was the chief eunuch of the Celebrant Seal, his official position as the deputy head of internal affairs in the Forbidden City determined that he could intervene in the affairs of the inner court and the yamen.

The position of the head of internal affairs in the Forbidden City is still held by Jin Ying, after all, Jin Ying is an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and he has deep seniority in the inner court, even if the orthodox emperor wants to replace him with Song Dashan and Wang Zhen, he must take his positions one by one, so as not to cause chaos in the inner court.

Therefore, when Li Yuntian called Wang Zhen, he was the deputy chief.

According to the configuration of the inner court, there is a chief of internal affairs and three deputy chief of internal affairs, which can be called the four giants of the inner court, and they check and balance each other.

At present, the situation in the inner court is that the old and new forces coexist, and they get along quite harmoniously.

In addition to Jin Ying serving as the chief of internal affairs of the Forbidden City, the other deputy chief is the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi and the prince of Dongchang Wang Jin, both of whom are confidants of Emperor Xuande, so the orthodox emperor should be cautious.

Not only the eunuchs in the inner court, but also the civil and military officials in the court all know that Jin Ying's internal affairs chief will not be long behind, and the orthodox emperor will definitely replace Jin Ying with Song Dashan and Wang Zhenyi, but I don't know who the orthodox emperor will choose to take on this important task.

"It's really a pity that Liu Shi talked about the difference in his thoughts, and it ended up like this."

Wang Zhen had already realized that Li Yuntian was here for Liu Qiu's affairs, and seeing that Li Yuntian said it tactfully, he pretended to sigh and solemnly made a promise to Li Yuntian, "Don't worry, the miscellaneous family will definitely urge Beizhen Fusi to find Liu Qiu's body." ”

"Then there will be Deputy Chief Labor." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and was very satisfied with Wang Zhen's attitude, with Wang Zhen's words, then Liu Qiu's body would be settled.

"The prince is serious, sharing worries for the emperor is a miscellaneous family's internal business." Wang Zhen bowed to Li Yuntian and replied with a smile, he hoped to live in peace with Li Yuntian all the time, the well water would not interfere with the river water, and he would never want to provoke Li Yuntian, a terrible opponent, and the orthodox emperor would obviously choose Li Yuntian between him and Li Yuntian.

After all, without Wang Zhen in the inner court, there will be Li Zhen and Zhao Zhen, but without Li Yuntian, no one in Daming will be able to fill the vacancy brought by Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian did not stay long in the celebrant eunuch, and after chatting with Wang Zhen for a while, he got up to say goodbye, and Wang Zhen personally sent Li Yuntian to the gate of the celebrant supervisor, looking very polite.

"Father-in-law, I heard that Liu Qiu and King Zhong are in the same department, why didn't he give Liu Qiu a head?" Looking at the back of Li Yuntian's four-wheeled carriage in the distance, a eunuch standing beside Wang Zhen couldn't help but ask suspiciously, this seemed incomprehensible, Li Yuntian was talking and laughing with Wang Zhen just now, and it seemed that he was not affected by Liu Qiu's incident in the slightest.

"Do you know what it means to be invisible?" Wang Zhen glanced at the eunuch with slanted eyes, and said lightly, "How can the depth of the artistic conception of the loyal king be something that you can speculate about?" ”

Saying that, Wang Zhen got up and returned to the celebrant eunuch, when he escorted Emperor Xuande into Beijing to ascend the throne, he had already seen Li Yuntian's power, and he actually used his body as a bait to lure away the people of the King of Han, and then made Emperor Xuande arrive in Beijing safely to ascend the throne, this courage and courage are not ordinary people can have.

Moreover, Li Yuntian takes the world as a chess game, and naturally has a long-term vision, and will not rashly intervene in the battle in the court for some personal feelings.

In the afternoon, the orthodox emperor sent someone to Liu Qiu's family to deliver a decree that Liu Yue and Liu Qiu were not implicated in Liu Qiu's case, and asked Beizhen Fusi to go to find Liu Qiu's body, and allowed Liu Yue and Liu Qiu to transport Liu Qiu back to his hometown for burial.

For the Orthodox Emperor's will, Liu Yue and Liu Yu took it with extremely complicated feelings, although the Orthodox Emperor and they lowered their favor, but in this way, Liu Qiu's case will come to an end: even Liu Yue and Liu Yu have accepted the results of Liu Qiu's case, so what do others have to jump on?

What is especially important is that the orthodox emperor asked Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Si to find Liu Qiu's body, which made Liu Yue and Liu Qiu look forward to it, if the two of them did not accept this grace, then they may never have the opportunity to see Liu Qiu again in the future.

With the grace of the orthodox emperor, coupled with Li Yuntian personally going to find Wang Zhen, the new Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Si Zhenfu envoy Ma Shun naturally did not dare to be contemptuous, and the next day he handed over the stinky body of Liu Qiu to Liu Yue and Liu Yu with a straw mat, after all, the weather in the capital has become hot after May.

Liu Yue and Liu Qiu, who were dressed in linen and filial piety, saw Liu Qiu's corpse pushed by Jinyiwei with a cart outside the city, and the two couldn't help but be stunned after lifting the straw mat covering the corpse.

The people in Yizhuang have been called by Liu Yue and Liu Qiu, and they cleaned Liu Qiu's body in the shade, changed into clean clothes, and did antiseptic treatment.

Subsequently, Liu Yue and Liu Qian carried Liu Qiu into the coffin that had been prepared long ago, and pulled it back to Anfu's hometown in Jiangxi in a carriage.

Because the people of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi led the return of Liu Qiu's body, no one in the capital got the news in advance, so no one came to see Liu Qiu off, and the scene seemed deserted.

Obviously, Wang Zhen and Ma Shun didn't want Liu Qiu's case to cause any more trouble, so they handled the handover of Liu Qiu's body in a low-key manner.

Li Yuntian had already given Liu Yue and Liu Yu two hundred taels of silver in advance, as the cost of the two brothers' entanglement on the road and the burial of Liu Qiu, which made the two extremely grateful in their hearts, if it was just Li Yuntian pleading with the orthodox emperor, not only would the two of them not be able to gain fame anymore, but Liu Qiu's body would definitely not be found.

It can be said that in this round of the competition, Wang Zhen won a complete victory, not only killing Liu Qiu, but also carrying his reputation for the crime of bullying the king, which made the civil official group in the court both indignant and helpless, after all, Liu Qiu's case is a royal case that is very accessible to people.

After Liu Qiu's case, Wang Zhen became famous in the capital, which made the civil and military officials see his ferocious methods for the first time, and officially opened the curtain of the competition between the inner court and the civil official group.

In fact, Wang Zhenben didn't want to make Liu Qiu's case too stiff, after all, he had no way to compete with the civil official group now, and once the civilian official group fought back, I don't know if the young orthodox emperor could withstand it.

But there was a problem on Ma Shun's side, because he was in a hurry, Ma Shun accidentally killed Liu Qiu when he forcibly forced a confession, which made things worse.

Faced with this scene in front of him, Wang Zhen had no way to retreat, so he had no choice but to frame Liu Qiu for suicide, and found Peng Deqing to write a letter of repentance in Liu Qiu's handwriting to confuse the public.

To Wang Zhen's relief, the orthodox emperor withstood the pressure of the Chinese official group and did not retry Liu Qiu's suicide case, after all, the prison of Fusi in Beizhen was an edict, and those courtiers were not allowed to talk nonsense and point fingers, which made Wang Zhen feel encouraged in his heart and acted more rampantly.

After entering June, the weather in the capital became extremely hot, and people's mood became impatient, and several large-scale brawls occurred in the capital one after another, involving the children of the Chinese military ministers.

The yamen of the major ministries and courtyards in the capital gathered, and there were naturally many children of the powerful, and the grievances and entanglements between each other were inevitable.

Li Yuntian was originally not interested in this kind of entanglement between the children of the powerful, in his opinion, he was a figure of the uncles of the children of the powerful, and he was too lazy to deal with those guys with strong hormones, and if something happened, naturally their family members would come forward to deal with the aftermath.

However, Li Yuntian was still alarmed by a brawl incident, because this brawl involved the students of the martial arts hall.

There are two main sources of students in the martial arts hall, one is to enter the martial arts hall through the martial arts examination, and the other is to be exposed to the cute shade of the family to avoid the entrance examination, such as the royal family and the nobles.

If it was seen as a chicken rib by the outside world when the martial arts hall was established, then now it has become a fragrant bait, and the children of the royal family and the nobles sharpened their heads and wanted to enter, in order to find an errand in the Xiaowu army, and then make contributions like those seniors in the martial arts hall, and glorify their ancestors.

In the past, the royal family and the nobles all sent the children of the concubines who were not valued in the family to the lecture hall, and they were extremely reluctant to do so for the sake of Emperor Xuande's face, but now those who enter the lecture hall are all sisters-in-law, which also means that there are more and more serious grievances and entanglements between the children of the powerful.

When talking about martial arts, those powerful children can still be honest, but once they leave the martial arts hall on vacation, then friction and conflict between each other are inevitable, after all, everyone is from a prominent background, and no one is afraid of each other.

The cause of the conflict is very simple, the children of the two powerful people drank flower wine in the Qinglou, and at the same time fell in love with a dancing girl, and as a result, the two sides fought, and even the subordinates on both sides also moved, alarming the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

Since there were students from the Lecture Martial Arts Hall on both sides of the case, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division handed over those people to the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and when Li Yuntian went there, he found that those students were beaten one by one with blue noses and swollen faces, and it seemed that the battle was quite fierce at that time.

Li Yuntian is not afraid that those students will cause trouble outside, and he is not afraid that they will fight each other, since the lecture martial arts hall was exempted from the examination to absorb the children of the royal family and the nobles into the school, he has already thought of this, in his opinion, this is not all a bad thing, it can make those students maintain strong energy and fighting spirit.

However, what Li Yuntian couldn't accept was that those students were jealous because of women's rivalry, and then beat up their own brothers.

Therefore, Li Yuntian severely punished those students who participated in the brawl, and asked the instructor to train these energetic guys vigorously, making them miserable, so tired that they could fall asleep while standing, and secretly swore in their hearts that they would never do it again because of women.
