The tripartite talks between Chen Xi, Xiao Taozi and Zhang Yong went smoothly, and Xiao Taozi mainly told Zhang Yong, while Chen Xi did not participate too much, but Xiao Taozi and Zhang Yong still looked at Chen Xi from time to time because they knew that Chen Xi's attitude in this matter was the most important.

Zhang Yong lost his previous arrogance and looked at Chen Xi with an urgent look and said, "Mr. Shen, when you return to the capital, you will mention the recommendation of your Majesty to His Majesty, right?"

Chen Xi smiled without saying a word, and the little knives beside him said angrily: "Eunuch Zhang is talking nonsense, right? How could Lord Shen casually ask about the selection of the Secretariat and Supervisor's Printing in front of His Majesty? Now His Majesty wants to choose one of the candidates. Lord Shen just said he would help you, but he didn't say he would offend the Shengyan to help you."

Zhang Yong nodded, understanding that Chen Xi would not come forward directly in this matter, but he still had an expectation in his heart that could be achieved overnight.

Although it seems that things are almost certain now, I can't guarantee that no one can make a promise to him if the emperor is involved.

Zhang Yongdao: "Mr. Shen, I wonder how Your Majesty will select the Serits and Supervisor's Seal? Our family doesn't understand very well. Can you please give me some advice?"

Without Chen Xi's reply, Xiao Tiaozi said: "This matter is not something that Lord Shen can decide. Lord Shen has just made a suggestion to His Majesty before. The right to choose is on His Majesty. If you do things properly, Your Majesty will naturally appreciate and promote you. If you want to stand out among the candidates, you must have greater connections and resources. Only then can Lord Shen work behind your back and help you. If Your Majesty asks for your final opinion, Lord Shen will also help you with good words... What do you think of Lord Shen?"

Chen Xi did not answer because he didn't want to make a real difference and insisted on helping Zhang Yong. But in fact, Zhang Yong had nothing to ask him to help, but the final result was probably related to him, because Zhu Houzhao didn't have much opinion in this selection, and often he had to follow Chen Xi's advice.

Zhang Yong saw Chen Xi's attitude and said, "Don't make things difficult for Lord Shen. Lord Shen is willing to sit down and discuss this matter with us. It is already very respectful. In fact, as long as Lord Shen nods, the rest will be easy. Please rest assured. The filial piety we promised to give you before will not be less than a cent. In addition, filial piety to Lord Shen is indispensable."

"snort!"

Xiao Tiaozi snorted, "It seems that who helped you for money? Let's talk about ugly things ahead. If you betray your faith, not only our family, but Lord Shen will also let you know what it means to never turn over!"

Zhang Yong frowned and said, "Look at what my father-in-law said, aren't we all trying to serve Your Majesty? What does it mean to never turn over? Why is this?"

Although Zhang Yong showed a fearful and terrifying attitude, he actually didn't think that Xiao Tiaozi was too terrifying. Once he became the chief supervisor of the Sili Supervisor, Xiao Tiaozi's biggest threat to him was to slander Zhu Houzhao, and he would definitely be wary of this. However, it would be difficult for him to deal with Chen Xi, so Zhang Yong's fear was mainly aimed at Chen Xi.

Xiao Guozi looked at Chen Xi with eager eyes: "Mr. Shen, you have to say something fair."

Chen Xidao: "What I am actually more willing to see is that the two father-in-laws cooperate sincerely to help the court work. If they insist on distinguishing each other, it means there will be a gap first. How can we ensure a win-win situation in cooperation in the future?"

Xiao Zhuozi and Zhang Yong looked at each other. They had a gap before, but now in order to win Chen Xi's support, they have to let go of all prejudices and show that they are completely relieved of their past grudges.

Chen Xi said again: "If Eunuch Zhang is unable to do the job of the Secretariat Supervisor in charge of printing, Your Majesty will choose another talent at that time. In fact, you don't have to worry about this."

Although Chen Xi did not promise anything, Xiao Taozi felt relieved after hearing it. At least Chen Xi had already expressed his meaning that you, Zhang Yong, must cooperate honestly. If you betray the alliance, you will bear all the consequences!

Xiao Zhuozi glared at Zhang Yong again with a fierce look. Zhang Yong looked a little uncomfortable. He didn't like to be threatened. After all, his age was older than Chen Xi and Xiao Zhuozi combined. But the problem was that in the three-person alliance, it seemed that his status was the lowest.

Zhang Yong said with a dark face: "Can our family ignore the principles? Our family is the boss, the chief etiquette supervisor. In addition to doing the job for His Majesty, we must also maintain our relationship with the two of you. One of you is serving in front of His Majesty and can complain at any time, and the other is calling for the wind and rain. Our family is just a helper around you."

Xiao Tiaozi snorted: "Eunuch Zhang should be self-aware."

Although Xiao Tiaozi's attitude is a bit bad and lacks the respect he deserves to be a Si Li Supervisor who is about to rise to power. Zhang Yong has a bad temper, but at this time he can only endure it as much as possible to avoid conflicts with Xiao Tiaozi and affecting his future.

Zhang Yong looked at Chen Xi again: "Mr. Shen, the court has attacked you a lot now. You must be prepared to deal with it after returning to the court. You don't need help from these things, right?"

Chen Xi smiled and shook his head, twisted his face and said, "We will help you become the boss's etiquette and seal, just to listen to your sarcastic words?"

Zhang Yong replied: "Our family is just doing some errands in the Sili Prison. As for what those civil and military ministers do, our family cannot interfere. Lord Shen has become the target of public criticism, because he is unmatched. In addition, his great achievements shock the master. Many people unconsciously regard Lord Shen as a potential enemy. In the future, they may attack secretly. If our family can help, they will try their best to help, but if they involve the grudges between civil officials, who dares to take action casually? If they don't help well, they may be blamed by Lord Shen."

While speaking, Zhang Yong looked at Chen Xi, with another point in his eyes.

But Xiao Tiaozi probably understood what Zhang Yong meant.

The conflicts within the civil servant group cannot be taken casually by outsiders. It is like there is a conflict between Chen Xi and Xie Qian. How can outsiders help? If you don’t help well, you may hold a grudge for Chen Xi. It’s better to let Chen Xi resolve the conflict by yourself.

Xiao Zhuozi muttered, "Actually, Eunuch Zhang just doesn't want to take care of things. Before this was a big deal, he started to swear."

Chen Xidao: "Whoever has conflicts with me does not need your Eunuch Zhang to take action. If you need it, I will mention it myself."

"That's good, that's good."

Zhang Yong responded with a smile, but thought to himself: "Isn't this conflict between Shen Zhihou and the civil servant group the fundamental reason why he helped me to take office? If I don't need to help him suppress my colleagues, then I, the chief etiquette of the Silis, will sit as firm as Mount Tai. Gradually, I don't need to listen to him, and I can decide on major events in the court on my own."

Xiao Tuozi looked out the window, stood up and said, "Your Majesty is about to set off. Our family should go back to serve Your Majesty... Eunuch Zhang, we should leave, right? Stop disturbing Lord Shen, maybe there is something that has not been completed."

Zhang Yong smiled and said, "That's right, that's it. I don't know what happened to the local generals. I know that we are here and don't take him to see him frequently? Haha, how many times can they meet like Lord Shen in their lifetime? I can only say that these people can't do anything... Let's get along more after we go back and discuss it carefully during this time on the road?"

Xiao Zhuozi saluted Chen Xi: "Please stay, Lord Shen, the villain and Eunuch Zhang are gone."

...

...

Zhang Yong and Xiao Guozi obviously had their own thoughts, but after deciding who will be the chief seal of the Si Li, it actually relieves a big trouble in my heart. At least for some time in the future, there is no need to think about who to help and who to help.

Xiao Tiaozi had just left and had been hiding in the next room waiting for Yunliu. Yunliu was wearing men's clothes and appeared in person as Chen Xi.

"Sir, it seems that these two are still unbelievable!"

Yun Liu expressed his true thoughts.

Chen Xidao: "Can you be united in and outside the palace? They have their own ulterior motives, but for their own interests. If people in this world do not punish themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth, so how can I completely trust them?"

Yun Liu asked with hesitation: "Why should the lord promote Eunuch Zhang? This Eunuch Zhang has a wide network of contacts. As long as he goes to power, he will inevitably expand his gangs, and he is very likely to become the second Liu Jin.

Chen Xi shook his head slightly: "After Liu Jin and Zhang Yuan, it is difficult for others to copy this successful path. The Sili Supervisor's Seal has become a hot potato without realizing it. It's just that they haven't discovered it yet, but sooner or later they will understand that His Majesty will be wary of the Sili Supervisor's Seal, otherwise this crucial position will not be vacant for so long. This time they will fight, and it is estimated that if there is another vacancy next time, everyone will avoid it."

After hearing Chen Xi's words, Yunliu felt that it made some sense, but she did not think that the crucial position of Sili Supervisor's seal would be disliked.

"Don't those father-in-law really fight for the seal of the Sili Supervisor? This is the ultimate goal of tens of thousands of eunuchs in the inner palace. How could they give up just by saying that they would give up?"

Chen Xi shrugged and said, "Maybe. But maybe the situation in the future is different from that in the present? However, the cabinet is about to change now, and with Jiang Bin's rise, the power structure around His Majesty will also change accordingly. The two of them have not yet realized who the biggest opponent in the future is, a pity!"

...

...

Jiang Bin appeared.

This matter seems very ordinary to others. The favored slander ministers around the emperor have changed a few times, and no one can hold on to favor.

They did not realize that a general like Jiang Bin who is good at doing things, young, energetic, and extremely loyal and willing to die for the emperor would be more favored in the future.

If Liu Jin was rebellious, the emperor might accept it, but if Jiang Bin wanted to rebel, basically no one believed it, because Jiang Bin was almost unreserved of Zhu Houzhao's efforts, and Jiang Bin was a martial artist.

Since the Tumu Fort of Yingzong, the Ming Dynasty’s great honors have become one of them, and the status of military generals has continued to decline. It has become a common practice to build military martial arts with culture, so others will not take Jiang Bin seriously.

Most people think that Jiang Bin’s greatest achievement is that he is equal to Qian Ning, or even worse than Qian Ning.

At this time, Jiang Bin did not intend to defect to anyone. He was trying his best to curry favor with Zhu Houzhao and explained the news he heard in detail to Zhu Houzhao, as if it were Zhu Houzhao's eyeliner.

"...Your Majesty, Master Zhuo and Eunuch Zhang have been very close to each other recently. They have seen them go in and out of everything. It seems that they have gone to see Lord Shen together just now."

What Jiang Bin feared most was that several important figures around the emperor formed a front line. Even if he didn't have much say, he would find opportunities to attack these people and try to make the emperor suspicious, so that he would be able to take advantage of the situation.

Zhu Houzhao was a little upset at this time, and wanted to return to the capital earlier, and did not care about the fact that Xiao Tiaozi and Zhang Yong seemed to be hooking up with each other. He waved his hand and said, "They went to see Shangshu Chen, which should be a matter of discussing the return journey. Are the lords ready? If everything is right, I will go to the capital... It's really too sleepy. From Zijing Pass to the capital, it should be smoother? I plan to have a good sleep."

Only then did Jiang Bin realize that it was difficult to shake the inherent personnel system around Zhu Houzhao casually, and even meant to be a mantis armed mantis.

But he would not be discouraged. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. Anyway, he feels that he has nothing to lose and always has to move towards his goal. He feels that there are plenty of opportunities to attack those who make him unhappy, including Qian Ning, Xiao Zhuozi, Zhang Yong and Shen Xi, and even Concubine Li is in his defense.

Zhu Houzhao took his men out for a temporary trip. Qian Ning had already been waiting in front of the imperial carriage. Although he had fallen out of favor, Qian Ning still tried to approach the king.

"Your Majesty will be promoted to the throne, and all unrelated people will stay away."

Jiang Bin, who went out early, had been wary of this and immediately stepped forward to drive Qian Ning away.

Qian Ning glared at Jiang Bin, as if he wanted to get angry, but unfortunately Zhu Houzhao had already come from afar. He did not dare to make rash things in front of the emperor. Just when he wanted to make further moves, he saw Xiao Taozi and Zhang Yong coming, Xiao Taozi asked m: "What are the two sirs talking about? Your Majesty is coming, are you afraid of your life?"

As the weak side, Qian Ning had to retreat aside first. Then Jiang Bin's men surrounded the imperial carriage, and even the Jinyiwei, who was the personal army of the emperor, could not get close to the imperial carriage.

Zhu Houzhao got off the carriage under the escort of the guards. Xiao Tiaozi wanted to move forward, but was blocked by Jiang Bin. As for Zhang Yong, he had no intention of competing for favor.

Xiao Taozi glared at Jiang Bin, but like Qian Ning, he dared not speak out. Now Jiang Bin's status with the emperor is becoming more and more prominent, because only Jiang Bin is qualified to serve Zhu Houzhao in close proximity. Without the emperor's approval, even eunuchs like Xiao Taozi who usually serve the king can only stand aside.

"Mr. Shen is ready and can set off at any time." Zhang Yong walked over and said.

Jiang Bin waved his hand and said, "What are you waiting for? Just go out, Your Majesty wants to rest, no one can get close to the imperial carriage. If anyone dares to come and commit a rash, I will be welcome."

Zhang Yong looked at Jiang Bin and asked with a sneer: "I dare to ask Lord Jiang, how are you going to do it without any politeness?"

Jiang Bin was not willing to be outdone and shouted: "I will always swear to protect Your Majesty's safety."

"you……!"

At this time, Zhang Yong also had a little more temper. After all, in his opinion, he was about to be the supervisor of the Seal Supervisor, and he could not scold a foreign military general who did not even have the status of a thousand households in the Jinyiwei. In the past, when Zhang Yong was in charge of the East and West Factory No. 2, let alone a mere local guard commander, even if the Dushi was the Dushi, the Dushi commander would be respectful to him when he stood in front of him.

Jiang Bin didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Yong at all and led the horse to the carriage.

Zhang Yong said with a dark face: "I don't know who gave him such courage!"

"well!"

Xiao Zhuozi sighed and said, "Who else, of course it's Your Majesty? Who can give him such power except His Majesty? Eunuch Zhang, I'm afraid this person is difficult to deal with now. Only Lord Shen can deal with him. Unfortunately, Lord Shen doesn't seem to be planning to press him down now."

Zhang Yongdao: "Maybe Lord Shen has other plans and wants to take Jiang Bin around him to listen to it?"
