Chapter 1144 The Talents of the Pillars

In the Forbidden City Ganqing Palace, all the ministers were preparing to meet the emperor, but in the Eastern Palace, Zhu Houzhao was bored with the eunuch playing cards. He suddenly became interested. After playing for several hours, he didn't know how tired he had to force the eunuch to play cards with him. Whoever didn't play would just drag it out to spank.

Because the emperor has only one son, the position of the crown prince is very stable, and no one can threaten the position of Zhu Houzhao, making him always a demon king in the world.

The eunuchs dared not disobey the master's wishes and stayed with him until late at night. Zhu Houzhao was having fun and didn't care about rest at all.

"Prince, it's time for you to rest."

It’s not that he didn’t want to play cards, it’s that Zhu Houzhao didn’t take him to play, because Zhang Yuan always liked to give in. Zhu Houzhao still felt a sense of accomplishment once or twice, but Zhu Houzhao discovered something was a trick on him over time. What Zhu Houzhao hated the most was that others deceived him, and Zhang Yuan’s behavior was purely causing trouble.

Zhu Houzhao was so angry that she lost a game. He heard this and said angrily: "Didn't you see me playing cards? I won't delay tomorrow's morning class, please go down for me!"

Zhang Yuan had a bitter face and did not dare to say more, thinking: "It's not that I can't delay morning class. It's clearly that I'm going to bed during morning class. Those lecturers in the East Palace who claim to be noble all have high reputations in the court, but they always let the prince make trouble. If the prince is not young, why are they still like a child who can't grow up?"

In fact, Zhu Houzhao is not very old, and in the later generations, he is a sixth-grade primary school student. However, Zhang Yuan had a deep hope for Zhu Houzhao because Zhang Yuan felt that only Zhu Houzhao could maintain his future for the rest of his life. Men had no ability to enjoy the most basic fun. Now that their children are not around, their wife has not seen each other for many years, they don’t know whether their wife is a wife.

In his cynical mood, Zhang Yuan gradually deepened his dependence on the prince and the Zhang brothers. Even though he knew that he was a hot face and a cold butt, he still kept flattering him.

Zhang Yuan saw that he could not persuade the prince, but was afraid that the Ganqing Palace and Kunning Palace would learn about this, so he could only change the topic intentionally or unintentionally:

"Crown Prince, I heard that many ministers have gone to the Ganqing Palace tonight. It should be that there is a new situation in the war in the northwest. Maybe after the victory in the northwest, there will be news of new victories coming!"

"Hmm? How do you know?"

Speaking of the northwest, Zhu Houzhao's interest indeed attracted Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao usually likes to ask what happened in the Three Borders and Xuanda Land, or he is particularly concerned about the matter of Chenxi. As for whether Liu Daxia has won any more victory in Ningxia Town, he really has no intention to ask.

It was precisely because Zhu Houzhao was interested that Zhang Yuan was particularly concerned about this matter. He knew that there was a big disturbance in the Silijian that night, and that there were many ministers entering the palace, so this was the case.

Zhang Yuan said: "Silijian sent people out of the palace to hire people. There was not enough staff, so I found a few from other places. When I passed by Xiefang Hall, I asked them casually and realized that this was the case!"

"Okay, Zhang Yuan, you dare to ask about the court affairs casually. It's so damn!" Zhu Houzhao cursed, but smiled and threw the cards aside, stood up and clapped her hands, "It's impossible for the father to fall asleep now, right? Let's go and pay my respects to my father!"

"Your Highness, you..."

Zhang Yuan said this, and the original intention was to attract Zhu Houzhao's interest, so that Zhu Houzhao would stop playing cards and go to rest, or not to find so many eunuchs to gather in the palace. If there are so many people and eyes, it is easy to reveal the news that the prince went to bed late.

If the prince stayed alone in the bedroom, no matter whether he was sleeping peacefully, no one would go to Kunning Palace to chew.

Unexpectedly, when Zhu Houzhao heard that something big happened in the northwest, she was excited to pay tribute to his emperor's father in the middle of the night. Needless to say, the prince wanted to taste the sense of accomplishment of making suggestions in front of the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao made suggestions that Chen Xi had encountered the main force of the Tatars in Xuanfu, and began to feel that he was a qualified crown prince and could preside over the government in the future.

Zhang Yuan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it's already late at night. It's frost and the dew is heavy at night. Why do you have to go to the Ganqing Palace? Besides, the palace is strictly prohibited and you haven't received the call. How can you enter and exit the palace late at night?"

Zhu Houzhao said dissatisfiedly: "This is the palace. I am walking around the palace. Do the guards dare to stop me when they see me? I said that my father was seriously ill and wanted to meet him... It was just an oral matter. You just need to make a lie for me. You don't want to go against my intentions, right?"

Zhang Yuanzhi wanted to slap himself in the mouth, but said something bad, but he said something that made the prince even more untrue. The prince was used to making trouble. He actually went to see the emperor at night and asked him, the attendant, to go with him. When he arrived at the Ganqing Palace, he really didn't know how to explain it.

After the prince made rash suggestions, the emperor had more control over the prince, and even more demands on the attendant of the Eastern Palace were much higher. Zhang Yuan could already foresee the tragic situation of his butt being beaten to bloom.

"Oh! I'm in the East Palace and have such a master, it's not easy to do this job!" Zhang Yuan said in a complaining tone.

...

...

In the palace of Ganqing.

The eunuch Xiao Jing, the chief eunuch in charge of the seal, presented the memorial of Chen Xi to Zhu Youzhang. Zhu Youzhang coughed twice. After the imperial physician used acupuncture, his body had recovered, but he still looked exhausted.

Zhu Youzhang waved his hand and pushed Chen Xi's comment aside, and his eyes fell on Xie Qian. Xiao Jing was so smart that he quickly picked it up from the dragon couch and respectfully handed it to Xie Qian.

The previous memorial was read by Xie Qian himself, and this time it involved Chen Xi's affairs. Xiao Jing also thought it would be more appropriate to read it by Xie Qian.

Xie Qian had read the report before, and now he reads it more casually, and he said everything he wanted to hear. Chen Xi was very cautious in using the words of the memorial and had a strong logical thinking, which made Xie Qian feel very comfortable to read, because every sentence can be focused, and it is the kind that hits the nail on the head. It seems that Chen Xi is very good at guessing people's psychology, knowing what others want to know and what they are worried about...

Xie Qian read, and thought in his mind: "It is worthy of being the top scholar. Chen Xi's son is not only very good at marching and fighting, but also good at writing memorials. If he can return to the court and enter the cabinet to do things in the future, he may not be able to lead the cabinet ministers in a long time, and even I am ashamed of myself!"

In Chen Xi's memorial, the structure was very clear. First, explain the situation around Xuanfu, and take Chen Xi's knowledge as the basis, and then indicate the situation in Tumu Fort, including the food and food situation of the soldiers after the war, the lack of water sources in the city blockage, and a series of subsequent arrangements.

Chen Xi means that he is going to stand guard at Tumu Fort and wait for assistance and will not break through blindly.

Although Chen Xi mentioned the dangers of Xuanfu and Zhangjiakou Fort in his memorial, Chen Xi did not receive any news about these two city blocks at that time, so Chen Xi did not dare to make a conclusion about what these two city blocks would be like.
