Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Eight Tigers

Zilong judged that Liu Jin had regarded King An as a sworn enemy, and it was reasonable to say that Liu Jin was the mastermind of this matter.

At this time, in the Forbidden City of Beijing, a corner of the palace, to the south of the celebrant supervisor, a small courtyard, here is Liu Jin's lair, where the insider factory created by himself.

Jinyiwei originated in the Taizu period, and later prospered with the Taizong Wen Emperor period, but Emperor Wen favored eunuchs, such as Zheng He, who went to the West seven times.

Therefore, the East Factory was created to supervise Jinyiwei.

In the Chenghua period, Wang Zhi was in power, because of the favor of Emperor Xianzong, and created the West Factory, intending to supervise the East Factory and Jinyiwei.

When Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, Liu Jin was favored, so he opened this expert factory in the Salary Division.

Liu Jin is personally responsible for this insider factory, which is above the two factories and one guard, and the power is unparalleled.

Emperor Zhengde had a powerful eunuch known as the Eight Tigers, all of whom were headed by Liu Jin.

At first, Wang Yue, the prime minister, Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Xie Qian, a university scholar, jointly signed a hundred officials to prepare for the impeachment of the Eight Tigers together.

The Eight Tigers were frightened, and under the leadership of Liu Jin, they cried in front of Emperor Zhengde.

Emperor Zhengde and the Empress Dowager joined forces to depose Wang Yue, and Liu Jian and Xie Qian were also forced to resign.

In this way, Liu Jin was respected by the other Seven Tigers in this crisis, and they all worshiped under Liu Jin.

Liu Jin's power became more and more intense, and with the support of the Queen Mother, he gradually tilted his power into the government and the opposition.

After Liu Jin gained power, the Eight Tigers were all in their own positions, and each of them was in a high position. Only Na Qiu Ju, because he suddenly ascended to the throne of the admiral eunuch of Dongchang, had no one in his eyes, and disobeyed Liu Jin's order.

didn't want Liu Jin to take the thunderous momentum, and with the right to serve as the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the palm seal, he directly transferred Qiu Ju to Nanjing Shouling, and reappointed Gu Dayong as the eunuch of the East Factory.

Because of this, the Eight Tigers were frightened and no longer dared to oppose Liu Jin openly.

Since then, Liu Jin has often held meetings between the Eight Tigers at the original site of the Salary Division.

Gradually, this is an expert factory of the Salary Saving Division, and it is even more powerful than the master of ceremonies.

On this day, the Eight Tigers Conference was held again. Several high-ranking eunuchs, surrounded by their own subordinate guards, slowly came to the gate of the inner factory.

A chubby eunuch walked slowly in the distance, and just happened to see an old eunuch in the north, supported by three or five small eunuchs, slowly waking up.

The fat eunuch took two steps and said loudly: "Ouch, Wugang Gong, why did you come here this early in the morning?"

"Hehe, it's a big deal! This time you are the protagonist, I heard that Liu Gong is very satisfied with you, and it is estimated that he will reward you again, and I will also touch your joy!" It turns out that this fat eunuch is Gu Dayong, and this old eunuch is Gao Feng, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, because of his advanced age, he is respected as Wugang Gong, and the two of them walked slowly towards the gate of this insider factory.

"What a protagonist, but it's just doing things for Gong Liu!" Gu Da couldn't hide his joy between his eyebrows, leaned over his waist, supported the old eunuch, and pretended to be disdainful.

"Hehe, this time King An is in trouble, if you don't deal with it decisively, Liu Gong will be fine, and there will be a little damage!" The old eunuch squinted his eyes, his hand like a dead branch, and gently patted the fat hand of Gu Dayong.

Gu Dayong was slapped by the old eunuch, and he couldn't help but smile on his fat face, and they all squeezed together, and said: "Everyone is working together in harmony, under the leadership of Liu Gong, to serve His Majesty, regardless of each other!"

"What a person who doesn't distinguish between each other!" In the distance, a eunuch wearing eunuch clothes and soft armor on the outside walked towards the gate of this insider factory, and his demeanor was full of might, as if he was not a eunuch.

Gu Da used the voices of the two of them to hear the people, they all turned around and looked at the people, the middle-aged eunuch came to the two of them after a short time, gave a deep salute, and said: "Zhang Yong has seen Wugang Gong, don't come to your old man's house!"

"Hehe, Zhang Yong! You don't have to be so polite to me!" the old eunuch shook his hand and said, "Look at your anticipation, the tiger and the tiger are vigorous, and when strangers see you, they think you are a great man!"

It turned out that this person was also one of the Eight Tigers, Zhang Yong, and when he heard this, his face darkened, and then he was in high spirits, and said: "Hehe, Wugang Gongyan has passed, let's go in quickly! Today is Liu Gong's summons, I'm afraid he won't be happy if he's late!"

"Okay, let's go in!" The old eunuch heard Zhang Yong say this, and also nodded, and the three of them walked together to the inside of the factory.

The inner factory covers an area of not much, less than 30 acres, but the pavilions and corridors inside are straight and complicated.

The three of them traveled all the way, whether it was bright or dark, but there were some fans of the inner factory watching.

It's just that the three of them have a high status, only under Liu Jin, but there is nothing to block the way.

However, there are constantly fans who come out to bow and salute and guide the three of them.

After a short time, the three of them turned around and came to a small hall.

There was a thin old man in black, holding a bamboo stick, lying on the side of the door, drowsy.

"Fei Lao, Liu Gongke is inside!" Among the three, only Gu Dayong's identity was the lowest, and he didn't mind at all at the moment, so he came directly to the old man and whispered.

Hearing this, the old man opened his cloudy eyes, glanced at Gu Dayong, and didn't speak, but directly pointed to the hall with a bamboo stick, then turned over and continued to sleep.

Gu Dayong saw that he ignored him, but he didn't get angry at all, he turned around directly, continued to support the smiling old eunuch, and the three of them walked into the hall together.

The hall occupies a small area, and when you enter, you are greeted by a chair with seven chairs placed on either side, and there are no other objects.

At this time, at the end of the seven seats, there was a respectful eunuch sitting there.

The eunuch heard the sound at the door, opened his eyes, and happened to see Gu Dayong and the three of them, immediately stood up, saluted the old eunuch, and said, "Qiu Ju has seen Wugang Gong!" This person turned out to be Qiu Ju, the former Dongchang Governor and Eunuch Qiu Ju who offended Liu Jin and was demoted to Nanjing.

At that moment, I saw that the old eunuch known as Wugang Gong raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Ju when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Hey, Qiu Ju, aren't you in Nanjing Sixiang? Why did you come back?"

Before Qiu Ju could answer, he heard a pleasant voice sound: "I asked him to come back!" As soon as the words fell, I saw that on the seat in the middle, I don't know when, a eunuch wearing a python robe and jade belt appeared ghostly, this eunuch has a white face and a delicate complexion, like a Confucian scholar who has read poetry and books, but isn't it Liu Jin who leans towards the government and the opposition!

When the four eunuchs saw Liu Jin's sudden appearance, they all put down the others, bowed straight and saluted, and said, "I've seen Liu Gong!"

Liu Jin waved his hand lightly, and a true qi that seemed to be like nothing actually held up the four of them, only to see Liu Jin say with satisfaction: "We are called the Eight Tigers together, we are brothers, regardless of each other, why be so polite!"

Although he said so, between Liu Jin's eyebrows, he was extremely satisfied with the four of them taking the initiative to salute.

The four of them naturally knew about it, and said a few words politely.

At this moment, three more eunuchs walked into the entrance of this hall.

The first person, with a white face and a delicate appearance, if you don't look at the green silk with gray hair, you think he is a young good boy.

Another person, just like Zhang Yong, is lined with eunuch clothes inside, but the outside is covered with a white silk soft armor, and in the center of his eyebrows, there is another vermilion mole, and the whole person is also bronze, and under the eunuch clothes, the bulging muscles are full of strength.

The last person, with his body bent, laughs when he meets people, but there is not much difference from ordinary eunuchs.

After the three of them came in, they all bowed deeply to Liu Jin, who was sitting on the throne, and shouted Liu Gong Wan'an.

Liu Jin also smiled with a smile on his face, and then ordered the seven people to sit down.

After everyone was seated, Liu Jin first raised his hand to the old eunuch and said, "Wugang Gong, the celebrant has a lot of affairs, but I have worked too hard for you!"

"Gong Liu is polite!" the old eunuch bowed slightly on the chair and said, "I have also done my duty, been loyal to Your Majesty, and served Gong Liu!

This old eunuch is obviously very qualified, and when others see Liu Jin, they don't dare to come out. But he is the only one who can still talk and laugh with Liu Jin.

And when Liu Jin was asked by him, he also replied with a smile: "A few days ago, the old guy from King An brought Wu Sanxing to join me, everyone should know!"

Everyone should be in unison, and Gu Dayong also had a smile on his face when he heard this, originally everyone guessed that this time the convening of the Eight Tigers meeting should be related to the last incident.

But before Liu Jin spoke, Gu Dayong couldn't be clear. Now that Liu Jin says so, it must be.

Sure enough, after Liu Jin saw that everyone should be, he glanced at Gu Dayong, and said slowly: "Thanks to Dayong who is smart enough to escape this catastrophe, in the final analysis, our forces still can't shock the government and the opposition, I think that there were two predecessors in the previous dynasty, Zheng Sanbao and Liu Ma'er, who are famous all over the world and leave a name in history! However, if you want to learn from Zheng Sanbao and Liu Ma'er, the first step is to obtain this military power. However, during the Jingtai period, the Beijing camp was divided into two, both of which were controlled by the powerful and nobles, although Zhang Yong was in the name of the 12th regiment battalion supervising the army, but it was never as majestic as Liu Ma'er, do you say?"

Zhang Yong was slightly stunned when he heard Liu Jin say this, and he only now knew that Liu Jin's ambition was to learn the legends of Zheng Sanbao and Liu Ma'er, the two eunuchs, in order to leave a name in history.

However, Zheng Sanbao was trusted by Emperor Taizongwen and had a mission, so he could be so majestic.

Liu Ma'er also went through several dynasties, stood tall, and went to the desert with Emperor Taizongwen.

Neither of these two can be compared to future generations.
