As for those borers, there is no need to alert the snake. Anyway, Liu Zeqing sent someone to give gifts, and these borers didn't understand what rejection was.

However, Fang Yuegong, Fan Jingwen and others, who have always been honest, looked puzzled. Why would anyone come to Shandong to give gifts? Moreover, it is not illegal to accept bribes privately?

No one could think clearly. Everyone thought that the crown prince was deposed, and the little eunuch around the crown prince was also stupid.

However, after more than half a month, things took a turn for the better.

Shandong General Liu Zeqing actually sent his aides to Beijing, and the first person to visit Jiading Bo and the father-in-law Zhou Kui.

Although the crown prince was deposed, Zhou Kui was still the father-in-law of the current dynasty after all. Moreover, his daughter was the queen. The queen of Zhou was more than Zhu Cixuan, which means that there is great uncertainty in the future candidate for the crown prince.

In view of this, Zhou Kui's position in the court is still of high authority. The first person Wen Ziming came to pay homage was Zhou Kui.

The servant Liufu ran over happily: "Boss-in-law, a guest is here, and a guest is here! Those who come from Shandong are said to be the general Liu Zeqing."

Zhou Kui, who was studying whether to cook leeks with eggs or leeks and egg soup tonight. When he heard that it was someone from Shandong General Liu Zeqing who came to pay a visit, he suddenly remembered the words of his good grandson, Wangcai, the eunuch who was close to Zhu Cixuan.

Thinking of this, Zhou Kui pondered for a moment: "Please."

When he met Wen Ziming, Zhou Kui was neither salty nor light-hearted. He was neither very enthusiastic nor very cold.

It was not until Wen Ziming was careful and took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and put them on the table with a flattering look on his face, Zhou Kui stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, have tea."

Mother's treacherous minister!

Wen Ziming carefully pushed the silver bill forward: "My General Liu has long admired the name of his father-in-law, but he has no chance to meet him. Today, he happened to send a villain to Beijing to work. General Liu of my father-in-law said that he must visit the house of the father-in-law. This is the little intention of General Liu of my father-in-law, so please accept it."

The officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty had completely torn apart his hypocritical face. In the past, when I came to give gifts, I had to spare dozens of times, and finally I dared to make a request for gifts indirectly. If I were not careful, I would be rejected by the other party: I am honest and honest, I would treat me as something, take it away!

It’s different now. The Chaotong collapsed and corrupted. Even the gift-giving people wanted to come to visit the door with silver notes.

Everything was placed on the table. The hypocritical masks in the officialdom had long disappeared.

But the calf still had to pretend, Zhou Kui coughed lightly: "What is this? I will not receive any reward without any merits."

Wen Ziming became more and more respectful: "General Liu said that I have heard that my father-in-law is honest and honest in his official position, and even his daily diet is simple. Whenever I think about it, General Liu always burst into tears. My father-in-law must accept this filial piety, otherwise the villain will be broken by General Liu when he returns."

Zhou Kui then reluctantly grabbed the silver bill: "Oh, Brother Wen is polite. How could I bear to let Brother Wen go back and be punished? Since that's the case, I had to refuse it. Liu Zeqing, did I hear the officials of the Ministry of Personnel say a few days ago that he was going to Beijing to report his duties?"

Wen Ziming slapped his thigh: "That's true, it was that General Liu, who received the edict of the Long Live Master. He said yes, let our general be the left governor of the Left Army Governor's Office."

Zhou Kui was shocked and hurriedly bowed: "Oh, is that right? Then I have to congratulate General Liu and congratulate General Liu!"

When he heard that Liu Zeqing was going to be promoted to the left governor, Zhou Kui immediately became polite. The first-rank left governor was a real power figure. It would be a happy event for him to come and make friends with him on his own initiative.

Unexpectedly, Wen Ziming said dejectedly: "Oh, this is unlucky. When my general was training soldiers last month, he accidentally fell off his horse and injured his ankle. Unfortunately, my general had to write a letter to the court to find other talents. Who knew that Li Shouyan, the general of Changping, did not know what path he had taken, but the Ministry of Personnel drafted the list of left governors. It seems that the Emperor Long Sui's intention is very regrettable. Originally, this position belonged to General Liu of my family."

Zhou Kui stared at her eyes: "Yes, didn't this agree on Liu Zeqing? Why did you change your mind if you change your mind? You said."

Wen Ziming bowed: "This time the villain came to Beijing, he begged his father-in-law to write a letter to say a few fair words to my General Liu during the court meeting."

Zhou Kui looked embarrassed: "This..."

"Don't worry, my general Liu said that if the matter is done, General Liu will definitely come to thank him. As a junior, General Liu should have come to visit his father-in-law for a long time."

The man's money will help others to eliminate disasters, and Zhou Kui sighed: "Okay, I can say a few good words to General Liu at the court meeting. But whether this matter will be successful or not depends on what Master Long Live meant."

When Wen Ziming heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly got up and bowed: "In this way, I will have to work for the father-in-law."

Why did Zhu Cilang be anxious to kill Liu Zeqing? First, he was looking for evidence of Tian Hongyu's crime to cleanse himself.

Secondly, Liu Zeqing is really crazy, and not killing is not enough to enforce military discipline.

How shameless is Liu Zeqing? It would be fine if he called himself a junior to Zhou Kui. Because of the same surname, Liu Zeqing worshipped Liu Hongxun, a Grand Secretary in the first year of Chongzhen, as his uncle.

As a result, as soon as the Grand Secretary Liu Hongxun died, Liu Zeqing immediately turned his face and treated Liu Hongxun's two sons Liu Kongzhong and Liu Konghe as their nephews.

Once, Liu Zeqing was having a banquet at a guest and took out his poems for everyone to see. The guests flattered and praised each other. Liu Konghe remained silent. He asked Liu Konghe a name, and Konghe joked: "It's better not to do it."

Liu Zeqing was furious and took the opportunity to send Liu Konghe to lead 2,000 people to fight against Shandong bandits. He suddenly beheaded him with the excuse. Liu Konghe's two thousand subordinates were all indignant. Liu Zeqing actually killed all the two thousand people without missing a single one.

Liu Zeqing once had a former residence, which was empty and deserted. Once more than a dozen scholars drank there. Because they were taught to watch, they found a woman's brocade shoes upstairs, and they laughed and sarcastically. Afterwards, Liu Zeqing knew that he had killed all these scholars.

Liu Zeqing was also disagreeing with his cousin and sent someone to find the cousin. The cousin pleaded with his mother. He pretended to make peace, but in fact he sent someone to kill the cousin on his way home.

Such a person can be said to be crazy. If he doesn't kill him, he will not be able to calm the public's anger.

Wen Ziming came out of Zhou Kui's mansion and then went to the Duke of Chengguo Zhu Chunchen to visit him. Then, he went to the homes of some other ministers who had made friends in the court. For three consecutive days, Wen Ziming was in the capital for Liu Zeqing.
