Xie Mansion Study Room.

Li Dongyang looked around and still found no trace of Xie Qian. Finally, he asked in anger: "Yi Zhong, your father is really not at home now?"

Xie Pi replied respectfully: "My father went home a few days ago and was tutoring students in the backyard for breakfast. Unexpectedly, he was called to the ban by the nobles of Zhongzhong. After that, he has not returned home and there is no news... Oh no, someone came back home and told me, saying that my father was unwell and stayed in the Imperial Hospital for rest. As for what the disease was, he didn't know at home."

"The student dares not tell Jiatang about this, so as not to worry about her!"

Only then did Li Dongyang realize that Xie Qian was not hiding at home to pretend to be sick, but was related to Emperor Hongzhi in the forbidden palace. It was even possible that Xiao Jing was the one who came to pass the imperial edict that day and said, "I wonder when Yu Qiao entered the palace?"

Xie Pi thought about it and replied: "The day of Renxu!"

Li Dongyang thought carefully that Xie Qian disappeared happened to be on vacation. Because the cabinet was in a special situation, someone had to stay in Wenyuan Pavilion for duty even on holidays, so the time for the rest of the cabinet ministers was different from that of other court officials. Since that day, Xie Qian has disappeared. Li Dongyang initially thought that Xie Qian had a problem at home, but who knew the truth was beyond expectations.

Knowing that Xie Qian was not at home, Li Dongyang looked not very good... When the head of the Xie Mansion went out, he rashly broke into the mansion of someone else's mansion. The dignified second assistant actually bullied another cabinet master's inner house. If this matter was spread, it would damage his face. He warned: "Yi Zhong, you must not tell your father about my coming to the mansion to find him, and you must not make this happen. Just think that I have never come to the door! Do you know?"

Xie Pi was stunned by the words, and he became more and more confused about the purpose of Li Dongyang coming to the door. He widened his eyes and asked, "Don't even Uncle Li know where his father is now?"

Li Dongyang was a little angry and came to the door for a quarrel. It turned out that he was looking for trouble and was embarrassed in front of his younger generation. This made him look so angry that he pretended to be calm: "When you look back, he will tell you that I still have something to do, so let's go first!"

After saying that, Li Dongyang hurriedly left the Xie Mansion. He didn't want people to know that he had been to the Xie Mansion twice, and even asked to enter one trip without any fault, which was suspected of bullying Xie Qian's family.

After Li Dongyang returned, he informed Liu Jian of the news. Liu Jian frowned and asked in surprise: "What did you say? Yu Qiao is not in the mansion?"

Li Dongyang replied with a bitter face and worriedly: "Listen to what Yizhong said, Yu Qiao was summoned to the palace by His Majesty, and then he didn't know where to go... Could it be that His Majesty had any explanation to him and that he would not attend court for the time being on the grounds of illness?"

When Liu Jian heard this assumption, he was also a little worried.

Emperor Hongzhi's previous suppression of the civil servant group was carried out in a subtle way.

After the war against the Tatars, the emperor praised Liu Daxia, Xiong Xiu and other meritorious ministers, and even promoted Ma Wen to the crown prince's tutor. However, the cabinet and other officials of the six ministries received very few rewards. All this was to show to the civil service group that you should be honest, otherwise I will attack you at any time.

Liu Jian sighed lightly: "Since it was His Majesty's dispatch, don't worry about where Qiao has gone. Sooner or later he will show up, unless he quietly returns to his hometown in Yuyao. Now the sea is peaceful and clear, which is a sign of prosperity after the chaos. You and I will devote more attention to government affairs, so as not to be suspicious of His Majesty!"

...

...

Zhu Houzhao disappeared, and Xie Yuqiao also disappeared.

Two things happened before and after, and no one in the court knew about the first thing, because Zhu Youzhang took the crown prince Zhu Houzhao by his side to personally cultivate his ability to review memorials as an excuse, so he asked the lecturers of the East Palace to temporarily rest at home, and as for when he would resume class for the crown prince waiting for the next notice.

After Liu Jian and Li Dongyang discovered that Xie Qian was not in the mansion, the rumors spread throughout the court and the country that "You Kankan" Xie Qian's "fake to say that he was sick is actually missing."

When Zhu Youzang heard the news, he sighed and said to Xiao Jing: "Eunuch Xiao, it seems that the queen is right to be wary of the young master Liu and Grand Secretary Li. If he knew about the disappearance of the prince, he would probably not be able to hide the matter. In the future, the prince's reputation in the court will definitely be destroyed."

Xiao Jing asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, how should you mention the affairs of Mr. Xie to the ministers in the court..."

Zhu Youzing was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, he expressed his plans: "Just say that I have important things to entrust him to do. I am already on my way to Jiangnan!"

Xiao Jing thought about it and there was no better way than this, so he could only nod.

Zhu Youzhang read all the previous memorials presented by Xie Qianjin, and praised Xie Qian more and more. He sighed: "Mr. Xie is worthy of being a pillar of the Ming Dynasty. The matters he reported are reasonable and the analysis is conscientious. It seems that the whereabouts of the prince can only be placed on him."

"Mr. Xie not only has excellent abilities, but also cultivated such a great genius as the Chen Qing family for the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that I can't keep the Chen Qing family in the capital for the time being. I hope he can perform outstandingly in the political affairs of Prime Minister Huguang and Jianggan... Oh, by the way, Eunuch Xiao, didn't you say that you found a lot of books in the East Palace before? Now I have read all these at hand, so you can take all the rest to me!"

Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the emperor was asking him for a book to read.

The miscellaneous books that Prince Zhu Houzhao usually read were basically written by Chen Xi, and Zhu Houzhao personally admitted this matter.

Xiao Jing originally thought that Zhu Youzhang would burn the burning coefficient of the book confiscated from the East Palace, but he never thought that Zhu Youzhang himself was also addicted to books. He only put it down after reading the books, and after reading them, he returned them to the prince.

With the naughty child's defense against Zhu Youzhang, every time he gets a martial arts novel, he will read and hide it while not being confiscated by his father at one time.

Zhu Houzhao went south to find Chen Xi this time, so he naturally would not bring these books he had read. Zhu Youzhang was unexpectedly rewarding when he sent someone to find his son.

Zhu Youzhang has just recovered from a serious illness, and is worried about the civil servant's abusing power and his son's disappearance. Now he has seen a martial arts novel that he has been worried about before and has not seen the finale before. He is addicted to it as soon as he comes into contact with it. His mood has miraculously improved a lot in the past few days.

Although Xiao Jing took the order and left, he still wondered: "What's wrong with Your Majesty? The idle books the prince read were vulgar and told them all about the market. Your Majesty actually liked to read them? Could it be that Your Majesty just wanted to know what books the prince reads on weekdays and figure out the prince's ideas through the specific content?"

But he didn't know that Zhu Youzhang and his son were both sulky.

Zhu Houzhao's personality was greatly influenced by Chen Xi, and his work gradually became organized and planned, and his adventurous spirit was even promoted. Zhu Youzhao's personality was simply suppressed. When he saw martial arts novels that did not belong to daily cognition and saw the so-called chivalrous world, he quickly became addicted and became more fascinated than Zhu Houzhao.

...

...

Just when Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were unable to find Xie Qian and Emperor Hongzhi tried every means to excuse Xie Qian, Xie Qian himself was looking for Zhu Houzhao in prefectures and counties around the capital.

Unfortunately, after searching for more than ten days, the prince still disappeared.

Based on various situations, Zhu Houzhao not only left the capital, but also headed south. As for the destination, Xie Qian was about to leave.

Xie Qian was worried: "Jin Xi had just taken office in Huguang, and the prince disappeared and went south. Needless to say, the prince was going to find Chen Xi."

"At the beginning of the city of Xizhimen and Zhengyangmen, the prince mentioned many times that he was leading troops to fight with Chen Xi, but he was mostly poisoned by Chen Xi, thinking that his good teacher not only lived a colorful life, but also had a high level of military achievements."

"Chen Xi has just been transferred to the local area, which is the critical moment for seeking political achievements. If His Majesty knows, His Majesty will lose all his affection for him in an instant. It will be extremely difficult to transfer back to the capital in the future, and he may be punished by His Majesty!"
