Chen Xi is no longer so concerned about what happened in the leopard room

According to He Jian, the civil officials and nobles returned to their respective yamen to wait for the news. He smiled and returned to the Ministry of War with a relatively calm mood.

Zhu Hui was going to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, but he seemed determined to stand with Chen Xi and sat on Chen Xi's carriage with a look on his face.

As the carriage started, Zhu Hui could finally open the skylight and say something bright, "Zhihou, do you believe what your father-in-law and Eunuch Zhang said?"

Chen Xi looked at Zhu Hui: "Does the national government believe that His Majesty may have any shortcomings?"

"No, look at Eunuch Zhang's evasive appearance, obviously there is something to hide... Even if Xie Yuqiao stays to ask questions, with Eunuch Zhang's cunning personality, will he inform you of the details?" Zhu Hui stared at Chen Xi's face as he spoke, trying to see Chen Xi's reaction clearly.

Chen Xi shook his head slightly: "I wonder what kind of insights does Baoguo Duke have?"

Zhu Hui's eyes lit up: "Just saying it is different from the idea of ​​ordinary people, some are far-sighted and wise... I think so, if there is really something unexpected, we should respond as soon as possible, so I stay in the Ministry of War. Once there is any situation, the three thousand battalions will be dispatched by you. What do you think?"

Chen Xi looked at Zhu Hui and roughly understood why the other party had such eager eyes.

"Zhu Hui was very unsuccessful in the past few years. Now he wants to lay a foundation for his descendants. The best way is to establish great merits. This time, Zhu Houzhao's assassination was regarded as an opportunity. Even if he did not have the meritorious service to support the new king, he would be closer to the Ministry of War. Perhaps if he sent troops to the north after the spring, he would be among the best in the merit book."

Chenxi Road: "It is natural for Duke Baoguo to go to the Ministry of War, but there are some things that Duke Baoguo should know, and what is the best response is to do, and it is okay to keep a secret of each other."

Zhu Hui immediately realized that if he acted too close to Chen Xi, he would be gossiped about and even impeached by the censor. He nodded with a smile:

"Yihou, do you think I have just entered the officialdom? I understand the rules and principles. I can stay in the Ministry of War. If anything happens, I will obey your instructions. No matter what, we are always acquaintances. I thought you were extraordinary in Yansui back then and I would become a great man in the future. Look, I have been obsessed with me, right? As long as we unite and be able to maintain peace in the capital, this will be a stable country for the Ming Dynasty!"

No matter how beautiful Zhu Hui said, it cannot change the prejudices in Chen Xi's heart.

At this time, Chen Xi thought of Zhu Hui as a speculator.

Soon the carriage was parked outside the Ministry of War. When Chen Xi and Zhu Hui got off the carriage, Lu Wan and Wang Chang, the two ministers of the Ministry of War, arrived. When they saw Zhu Hui and Shen Xi getting off the carriage together, they were both surprised, but no one questioned it.

Zhu Hui smiled and said, "You can just treat me as transparent. I just come over to see what the Ministry of War has done, and then I will leave in a sedan chair... Haha, let's talk inside."

Accompanied by Lu Wan and Wang Chang, Zhu Hui followed Shen Xi into the Ministry of War.

...

...

At the door of the leopard room, when everyone left, Xie Qian began to ask questions. Unfortunately, Zhang Yuan's answer was ambiguous. Xie Qian did not receive useful information about Zhu Houzhao's injuries.

Just when Xie Qian was dissatisfied and felt that Zhang Yuan, an ally, had not fulfilled his obligations, Zhang Yuan took the lead in a high-profile tone: "Master Xie, Shen Zhihou is becoming more and more unruly in his work. Tonight he will take our family back from Huitong Hall. Who gives him the power? As the chief minister, you can't ignore it."

When Xie Qian heard Zhang Yuan mention Shen Xi's contemptuous look, he was a little unhappy and thought to himself: "No matter how rude Shen Zhihou is, after all, he is a civil official from Hanlin. It's not your turn to take care of you, Eunuch Zhang?"

Although she thought so in her heart, Xie Qian also knew that the reason why the court now showed a harmonious relationship between the king and the minister was entirely due to Zhang Yuan's weakness and incompetence. If he was playing a stage drama with Zhang Yuan now and letting the other party leave the cabinet and do whatever he wanted, he would suffer the consequences.

Xie Qian nodded and said, "I will definitely teach him a good lesson after I go back."

"It's time to teach a good lesson!"

Zhang Yuan said angrily, "The reason why there was an accident in the Leopard Room this time is somewhat related to him! In short, all the mistakes were caused by Shen Zhihou. If Xie Shangshu finds an opportunity, he should submit a memorial to impeach him. Even if he cannot be dismissed from his post and investigated, he will still be taught enough lessons! There are so many officials in our Ming Dynasty, none of them are as presumptuous as him!"

When Xie Qian heard this, his brows frowned tightly and thought to himself: "I want to ask Your Majesty about his injuries now. What are you talking about these useless things with me?"

Xie Qian asked again: "Can I come in and visit Your Majesty?"

Zhang Yuanwei said: "This... is not a little good, right? Our family does not have the authority to agree to Xie Shangshu, but our family here promises to Xie Shangshu that His Majesty's dragon body is fine, but there is only a little... a small accident, and now all dangers are eliminated."

Xie Qian breathed a little relieved and nodded, "That's good, that's good."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "A lot of things can be discussed slowly, don't be so anxious... Mr. Xie Ge solved Shen Zhihou's big trouble sooner, and the Ministry of War will arrange a Shangshu that satisfies everyone. At that time, the government and the people will be happy?"

Xie Qian frowned and said, "Who is more suitable for the position of Minister of War than Shen Zhihou now?"

“Yes, some are!”

Zhang Yuan seemed to be a little confident in Shen Xi when he heard Xie Qian's meaning, and was very dissatisfied. "Shen Zhihou was just lucky. He had made several tricks of chance and succeed, so that he could have the place he is today... If Xie Pavilion was honestly reluctant to let him leave the capital, he could let him enter the cabinet to help you. Wouldn't he be in charge of him then? Shen Zhihou was born in a Hanlin family. As long as he took the initiative to propose to enter the cabinet, even Your Majesty would agree."

"Um."

Xie Qian nodded and said nothing more.

Zhang Yuan saw that Xie Qian seemed not very concerned about his words, and his face was a little bad, and threatened: "Old Master Xie went back and thought about it carefully. Those who do big things are not careful. Even if Shen Zhihou is your grandson-in-law, he will kill his relatives for justice when necessary, right? If you can't do these small things well, how can we cooperate in the future? Since this is the case, we won't keep much of it. We will go in and obey His Majesty's instructions soon..."

Xie Qian glanced at Zhang Yuan and felt in a complicated mood. On the one hand, he wanted to make good use of his good relationship with Zhang Yuan to stabilize the court. On the other hand, he could feel that Zhang Yuan, whose ambitions and abilities were seriously inconsistent, was always an unstable factor in the court.

After watching Zhang Yuan leave, Xie Qian thought about this question seriously: "Zhang Yuan gave up power to me only because he was temporarily incapable of his ability. If he had experience or found a counselor to help him, wouldn't he be in charge of the government and acted as a disaster for Liu Jin? Liu Jin didn't know how to review the memorials at the beginning, but he still found Sun Cong, Jiao Fang, Liu Yu and others to help before getting on track..."

...

...

With great anxiety, Xie Qian got onto the carriage.

It's late at night and the palace is under martial law. Wenyuan Pavilion can't get in, so he can only go to the small courtyard he purchased on West Chang'an Street.

In a vaguely, Xie Qian seemed to feel that he had done something wrong: "Although Zhihou is sometimes stubborn, he has never done anything that harms the Ming Dynasty. Am I too arbitrary to target him everywhere? Besides, his plan to pacify the grassland really has room for negotiation?"

With a lot of doubt, Xie Qian returned to the courtyard. Before he could get off the carriage, he heard Zhang Mao's voice: "Look, I said Yu Qiao would come back here."

He Jian's voice came: "Yu Qiao, I have been waiting here for a long time."

Xie Qian lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. However, seeing that in addition to Zhang Mao and He Jian, the father-in-law Xia Ru was also there, his face suddenly became a little unfair, but he still stepped forward to salute one by one.

Zhang Mao didn't quite understand: "Yu Qiao, why do you look solemn? But what is unexpected happening to Your Majesty?"

Xie Qian had not replied yet, He Jian said: "If something really happened to the leopard room, how could Yu Qiao come back here?"

Zhang Mao then felt relieved: "It's my old man's words that are inappropriate... Yu Qiao, let's go in and talk about it?"

Xie Qian waved his hand and sighed, "Today's incident is exhausting. It's almost the fifth day. It will be dawn in a while. If you have nothing to do, you can go back to the mansion first. There should be no more disasters in the capital today."

Zhang Mao smiled and said, "It turns out that it's really okay. No wonder Yu Qiao, you came back here. You want to rest early, right? Then I won't disturb you..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Mao planned to take Xia Ru away.

Xie Qian gave a gift: "I respectfully send you two."

He Jian and Xie Qian sent Zhang Mao together, Xia Ru left. After watching the two men's carriages go away, He Jian asked thoughtfully: "Yu Qiao, why are you back in this complexion? Could it be that something unpleasant happened between you and Eunuch Zhang after I left?"

Xie Qian suddenly asked, "Brother Shiguang, do you think Zhang Yuan is the possibility of becoming the second Liu Jin?"

Usually, even if Xie Qian treats He Jian with kindness, he will not be called "Brother Shi Guang". He Jian knew that Xie Qian was discussing matters as a friend rather than an official, which was a private discussion.

"Go in and talk." He Jian raised his hand, and the two entered the yard. After waiting for no one around, He Jian sighed, "Eunuch Zhang has indeed become a bit arrogant recently. He has also begun to interfere with the various yamen in the court, which is very different from his cautious situation when he first entered the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the

Xie Qian's face was gloomy: "This is exactly what I worry about. From beginning to end, he did not give a positive description of Your Majesty's situation, but it was obviously Your Majesty who ordered him to come out to meet the court officials... Then why did he deliberately conceal it?"

He Jian was a little nervous: "Is it because Your Majesty is seriously injured?"

Xie Qian shook his head and said, "If this were the case, Zhang Yuan would never come out to meet the court officials. At that time, even Your Majesty himself would be thinking about the issue of the stability of the throne. How could he send the court officials back casually? You see the ease and indifference when Zhihou left, he should have known something in advance."

He Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Yu Qiao's words are incomprehensible. What does this have to do with Zhihou?"

"What's wrong with this?"
