Zhang Yuan originally wanted to discuss with Chen Xi how to see Mrs. Zhong away to prevent the Jinyiwei from falling into Liu Jin's control.

But because he had a quarrel with Chen Xi as soon as he got up, he had no chance to raise the relevant matters in the end. He remembered it after leaving the Shen Mansion Gate and got on the carriage, and he was extremely upset.

"Oh! Why are you always angry with my eldest nephew and delaying the serious business... You really should discuss with him how to send Mrs. Zhong away and let Qian Ning not become the commander of the Jinyiwei... This is an excellent opportunity to make meritorious service in front of the uncle, why did I give up in vain?"

Zhang Yuan was still very guilty at first, but in a blink of an eye he blamed Chen Xi, feeling that everything was the consequence of his nephew's stubbornness.

Zhang Yuan could not return home, and the palace could not go back. After all, the night was dark now, and the palace was strictly prohibited. There was no right to go back. It was difficult to explain the handle when Liu Jin was caught. In this way, Zhang Yuan could only spend the night in the leopard room. Although the guards of the leopard room were also very strict, as the emperor's close minister, it was common for him to enter and exit the leopard room at night, and no one would pursue it.

It was already the second update when Zhang Yuan arrived at Leopard Room.

The capital has completely quieted down, and there are few people on the streets and alleys. But for the leopard room, the noise of the night has just begun, and this is the real night sky in the capital.

Zhu Houzhao is a night owl. She is not energetic until the night is at night, and she has everything to eat, drink and have fun. In addition, Liu Jin has found many new tricks for Zhu Houzhao after returning to the court, so Zhu Houzhao is addicted to it and can't extricate herself.

Zhang Yuan didn't dare to disturb Zhu Houzhao's Yaxing, so he was about to find a side courtyard to deal with it for a night, but he ran into Qian Ning halfway.

"Eunuch Zhang?"

When Qian Ning saw Zhang Yuan, he had a smug smile on his face as always.

Zhang Yuan looked at Qian Ning and felt that the other party was intentionally blocking him. Perhaps the news of his return was passed in by the guards. Qian Ning came here deliberately after hearing the news.

Because he found a lot of unhappy things from Zhang Heling and Shen Xi, Zhang Yuan had a bad temper and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Guard Qian?"

Qian Ning smiled and said, "Your Majesty asked me about Mrs. Zhong's situation before, saying that she wanted to find someone to serve Mrs. Zhong, so I recommended Eunuch Zhang. Your Majesty agreed... I came here to inform Eunuch Zhang, and you will report to Mrs. Zhong later!"

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he immediately became angry. He looked at Qian Ning angrily and asked, "You actually asked the eunuch, the chief of the imperial horse supervisor, to serve a woman?"

Qian Ning sneered: "Eunuch Zhang, this matter was told by His Majesty himself. You won't say you don't want to go, right? This is a disobeying the imperial edict!"

Zhang Yuan felt so angry that he was an eunuch by the emperor and a real minister of the emperor. Now, let him take care of a woman who had not yet welcomed the emperor. This is something he could not accept... This is no different from being deposed and exiled!

Seeing that Zhang Yuan did not answer, Qian Ning thought the other party was cowardly and became more imposing, and said, "Serving Mrs. Zhong is a good job that other eunuchs dare not dream of... Your Majesty has no concubines, and this Mrs. Zhong may be the imperial concubine in the future, or even the imperial concubine. If she can give birth to a son and a half daughter for Your Majesty, then she will be the mother of the prince and the future queen mother..."

Speaking of this, Qian Ning consciously stopped talking.

Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, he said that Mrs. Zhong is the empress dowager, and he has a bit of a curse of Zhu Houzhao.

Qian Ning coughed twice: "If you have a good relationship with this master, you will be successful in the future!"

Zhang Yuan really wants to say, "Don't let your mother gossip!" I was originally following the former queen, the current queen, and the real celebrity in front of the queen mother, but what's the situation now?

Our family has not fallen out of favor with the previous empress dowager yet. You ask me to invite favor with the next unknown empress dowager? What is the reason for this?

Zhang Yuan belongs to the foreign relatives party, has a deep background, and is the second only to the Silijian in the twenty-four prisons. He realizes that he has reached the peak of his life. He then asks him to pursue the next peak of his life, which is obviously not accepted by him.

Qian Ning laughed there, "Now, the one who is favored by Your Majesty is Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Zhang doesn't have to think too much at this moment, just plan for the future. Stay away from Your Majesty, and you won't be suppressed by Eunuch Liu... I'm helping you, you all appreciate it! Now that Your Majesty's decree has been issued, are you agreeing, or do you want to disobey the sacred edict?"

Zhang Yuan was very frustrated, but Qian Ning pressed down his big hat, so he could only lower his head hatefully and respond, "We know!"

...

...

It seems that Zhu Houzhao did things without any loss of water, but the problem is that this matter has used the power of the local government, and Qian Ning is very flamboyant and likes to show off everywhere. As a result, shortly after Mrs. Zhong and her family arrived in the capital, the matter became known to everyone.

As for where Mrs. Zhong was taken away by Zhu Houzhao, very few people knew about it, and Shen Xi was one.

On that day, Shen Xi met the prime minister of the dynasty in the courtyard of Xie Qian Chang'an Street.

Xie Qian has lived a very comfortable life recently. There are two more cabinet ministers in the court, Liang Chu, Yang Ting and two other cabinet ministers. Both of them are the best in the Hanyuan system. If Xie Qian does not need to come out to do anything, the cabinet can operate normally. He will only inquire about major events. In this way, even if the cabinet increases its workload due to the increase in local affairs, Xie Qian can still be content.

When Shen Xi arrived, Xie Qian personally brewed tea and sat opposite Shen Xi. Xie Qian poured a cup of tea for Shen Xi and said, "Try it, this is the new tea this year... Do you have any research on tea art?"

Even if Shen Xi knows a little about the tea ceremony, he will not show off in front of Xie Qian.

When Xie Qian was at this age, what he was most proud of was his life experience. If he didn't show off, he would inevitably be unhappy.

Shen Xi savored the tea and couldn't help but shake her head.

Xie Qian smiled and said, "Tea is good tea, and water is also good water. But I can't brew the taste of the Fang family here... I have to study more, otherwise many things will be difficult to understand."

There is something wrong with words.

Shen Xi put down the teacup and asked, "Did you want to talk about something in the court?"

Xie Qian shook his head: "I know you are well-informed, and I don't hide it... Your Majesty took a woman to the capital. Do you know this?"

"I know, but not much."

Shen Xi would not say that he knew this matter well and said perfunctorily, "Students occasionally heard about it. They are said to be women from merchants. They often show up for their lives. When His Majesty left the palace in vain, they met him by chance, and later they missed him."

Xie Qian poured another cup of tea for Shen Xi and said, "I don't know much, but I think you know a lot... Do you know what the relationship between this woman and Your Majesty?"

Shen Xi shook her head: "I don't know what the elder of the Pavilion is referring to..."

At this time, Xie Qian seemed to be a good friend and told Chen Xi: "As far as I know, this woman is pure and kind-hearted. She used tea art in the capital to attract customers, and never attracted bees and butterflies. But under the encouragement of Qian Ning and others, His Majesty went to the tea shop run by the woman to drink tea, and then he had some connections."

"What's more, in order to get this woman, Your Majesty turned black and white, put the woman's relatives in prison, and then helped her. Later, in order to avoid His Majesty, the woman moved her family to Qilu, and was finally found..."

After hearing Xie Qian say for a while, Chen Xi nodded slightly, and sighed in agreement: "If you say so, things are tactful and tortuous!"

Xie Qian took a deep breath, calmed the anger in his heart, and then continued: "Now Your Majesty has succeeded. Although all the people in the world belong to Your Majesty, this move is injustice. Now there are rumors in the court... If this woman can have a full reputation, it will be beneficial to the country and the people, and it is a kind act to maintain Your Majesty's reputation!"

“Huh!?”

Chen Xi was very surprised when he heard Xie Qian say this with a high-sounding voice.

What Xie Qian said, "This woman can have a full reputation" is not actually sending Mrs. Zhong away, but trying to find a way to make Mrs. Zhong stop herself.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "In the minds of these old stubborn people who have been poisoned by the science of science, the woman has a low status, and Mrs. Zhong is a businessman, so she is even more looked down upon. When encountering such a thing, Mrs. Xie actually wants the woman to commit suicide with her full reputation. Isn't this harming people's lives for no reason?"

Xie Qian asked, "Why are you so surprised? Do you have other good deeds?"

"What if this woman can escape from His Majesty's control and leave the capital?" Chen Xi asked.

This time it was Xie Qian's turn to be surprised. He thought about it carefully and finally shook his head: "Not desirable! Even if he escaped to Qilu before, he would not be found again? Now that Liu Jin is in the court, with this traitor, this woman will not be able to escape from the capital. Even if she succeeds by chance, where can she go from all over the world?"

"Don't make these meaningless thoughts, your identity determines that you can only do your best to assist the Holy Lord, rather than cause trouble... Let this woman understand the truth as much as possible, and don't mislead my country and the country!"

Chen Xi couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect Xie Qian was so prejudiced to Mrs. Zhong.

But it is no wonder that in history, once a king favors a woman and causes the country to fall, many people blame women like vixen, believing that beauty is the cause of the country and the country is instability.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "Even if there is no Bao Si and Yang Guifei, there will be defeats from King You of Zhou and Emperor Ming of Tang. It is impossible to get the favor of the king because of the woman. It is as if they were so guilty and evil... Mrs. Zhong suffered innocently and let her die like this, it is obvious that it is a bit too much."

Chen Xi asked, "Since that's the case, Master Ge thought about how to tell the woman about this and let her understand the righteousness?"

Xie Qian glared at Chen Xi...Aren't you making things difficult for me?

"How can I tell you about this? Now I don't even know where this woman is. But you can often go to and from the palace gates and leopard rooms. Why don't you inquire?"

Only then did Chen Xi realize that Xie Qian wanted to cause trouble for him again.

"This woman is in trouble with the Ming Dynasty. You boy know that Your Majesty is not at all concerned about the government. If you don't help Your Majesty, you will be afraid that no one will be able to persuade and guide you correctly. The Ming Dynasty may turn from rise to decline!" In order to make Chen Xi surrender, Xie Qian began to exclaim.

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Qian, really didn't want to talk to this old stubborn about Mrs. Zhong.

He understood clearly. Xie Qian always emphasized etiquette and law, but ignored the right to survive that Mrs. Zhong had, as if a woman had to apologize for her death if she had a reputation. This was something that Chen Xi from later generations could never accept.

Chen Xi could only perfunctorily: "I will do my best!"

He did not agree or refused, Chen Xi did not think too much about involving this matter.

Xie Qian heard the perfunctory intention in Chen Xi's words, and his hand, who was about to pour tea for Chen Xi, shrank back and said, "Liu Jin can go back to the court, you have done a lot of effort behind the scenes, right? After he returned to Beijing, he was idle for His Majesty, but in a few days he returned to the Sili Supervisor to serve as a palm print. You also played a key role in this... Just tell me, what do you think!"

There is no airtight wall in the world.

Even if Chen Xi did not tell Xie Qian about these things, it is not a secret that Xie Qian has many eyeliners in the palace.

Seeing that Chen Xi did not answer, Xie Qian shook his head, "Don't think I want to blame you. I just think you are too erratic and always want to win."

"You should understand one truth. The eunuch party and civil servants are incompatible. Liu Jin is abusing power and I will not have a peaceful life. I am halfway through the soil and don't mind these things. But what about you? You, Shen Zhihou, are in great age and are in the court, and your future is unlimited. Do you want to be like me, do nothing in the court and be suppressed by the eunuch party?"

Chen Xi spread his hands, but he really didn't know how to deal with it.

Xie Qian said: "I know you don't want to listen to these things, but I still have to say it out... You have been an official in the local area for many years and should have known some of the ways to become an official. Do you even know that you beat the dog in the water? Do you think you will be grateful to you if you compromise with the eunuch party? No! Liu Jin will only be more afraid of you and want to get rid of it quickly!"

"You are in danger now, do you know? I know that you are not equipped with staff, so I will make the decision here and transfer some people from Jiubian back to the capital to assist you!"

"Um!?"

Chen Xi frowned, not sure what medicine was sold in Xie Qian's gourd.

"Nothing to be surprised!"

Xie Qian said, "You just transferred people to the Ministry of War perfunctorily, and then did not use them more. I think you only believe in the officials you promoted from the middle and lower levels. It is precisely the nine sides that you need help. Before Liu Jin could react, transfer these people to the capital... This will also be a great help to you!"

Chen Xi began to wonder who Xie Qian would recruit to help him.

He was on the Nine Borders - in fact, it was mainly the Three Borders and Xuanda Land. He didn't know many people, except for some military generals, and only a handful of civil servants, but it was obvious that Xie Qian would not have the idea of ​​military generals.

How could soldiers guard the border easily return to Beijing?

Even though Chen Xi was curious, he didn't ask. He knew that although Xie Qian liked to act arbitrary, he was just thinking about him and it was not advisable to crack down on his enthusiasm.

Xie Qian said again: "Half time has passed since the two-year deadline for pacifying the grassland set by Your Majesty. You should prepare as soon as possible. Don't wait for the two-year period to expire. Everything needs to be discussed for a long time... At that time, Your Majesty will lose trust in you, and you will not be able to maintain your current transcendent status in the DPRK!"

Chen Xi thought for a while and asked, "Did the Master Ge mean to retreat?"

"Don't guess!"

Xie Qian said, "I have been in court for many years and have been exhausted physically and mentally. If I hadn't been thinking about the responsibility of the former emperor to entrust the orphan, I would have been leaving with a seal. But I will persist in court for a year or two, and I will choose to retire after seeing that you stabilize the situation... I must not allow Liu Jin to abuse his power and do evil. If this person is not eliminated for a day, I will not be at ease for a day!"

Chen Xi nodded and wanted to say something, but Xie Qian looked bad and knew that the prime minister was very stubborn in some things, and no matter how much he said, it would be futile.

Xie Qian said: "Liu Jin must not interfere with your responsibilities in the Ministry of War. This is a good thing! You must grasp your trust in you well. Occasionally, you can do something against your will to please Your Majesty. I can understand it, but you must be relaxed and relaxed in your work and do not encourage Your Majesty to do things that harm the interests of the Ming Dynasty."

"If you can do this, I will not blame you for your daily words and deeds. I will do it for you if you cannot deal with things you will not be able to deal with!"

Chen Xi thought to himself, it sounds like a dirty work and you thank the old man, and I am waiting to pick up the ready-made ones behind me. But the actual situation is... When you guys are in trouble, you old guys hide first and let me charge forward.

Who can't say beautiful words?

Thinking of this in my heart, Chen Xi still said respectfully: "Then I would like to thank Master Ge here... I will go back to the Ministry of War to handle official affairs later, so I will say goodbye!"

Chen Xi found that Xie Qian's courtyard was really not suitable for coming here, because the chicken soup that Xie Laoer showed off was simply poisonous chicken soup. If he really listened to it, he would probably not know how he was done.
