Chen Xi made his own judgment on the situation in the capital. As for how it will eventually develop, he did not dare to make a promise. After all, the butterfly effect caused by his appearance has become increasingly obvious. It is really hard to say whether Liu Jin will be in power.

But no matter what, everything in the capital is evolving according to history.

When Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he was rebellious and the civil servant group had a hindrance to the emperor's authority. The young emperor hoped to take charge of the government through the people around him. Liu Jin, who was good at deceiving his superiors and concealing his subordinates, was very capable. As long as he seized every opportunity, it was inevitable that he would be promoted.

Of course, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang may not give Liu Jin a chance, because the authority held by the civil servant group in this life seems to be greater than that of the cabinet trio in history.

In front of Liu Jian and Li Dongyang who abused power, it is still unknown whether Liu Jin has the ability to prove himself.

At this time, Liu Jin was trying every means to please the emperor, and accompanied Zhu Houzhao to eat, drink and have fun every day. He was busy with trouble in and outside the palace. The women the little emperor had been lucky. The palace maids in the palace were lucky, the pink heads outside the palace and the singers of the Jiaofang, dancers, and even the girls in the folk family were lucky, but Zhu Houzhao was most interested in was a married woman.

This unique habit made Liu Jin feel a headache.

While maintaining Zhu Houzhao's grand image as the emperor, he also wanted to find a married woman to favor him. This kind of thing was very difficult to operate. Fortunately, Liu Jin had helpers, and the most powerful one was Qian Ning, a Jinyiwei family who had sent his wife to Zhu Houzhao's side.

In order to please the emperor and also to please Liu Jin, Qian Ning was doing everything he could to please. He took the opportunity to escort Zhu Houzhao out of the palace and tried every means to find a woman for Zhu Houzhao. Later, there was no volunteer, so he wandered around the streets and looked for beautiful women, preferably widowed women. After discussing with Liu Jin, he secretly tied up people to let Zhu Houzhao be happy.

That afternoon, Zhu Houzhao came out of the palace at the intersection of Shen and You, and obviously he was not going to return to the palace at night. In order to commend Qian Ning's "contribution", Zhu Houzhao specially passed on him.

"... Qian Baihu, I have seen you before, and I am deeply pleased with your loyalty. This time I meet you and want to tell you about the return of Mrs. Zun. A gentleman does not take away everyone's favor. Although I am very satisfied with Mrs. Zun, I still decided to return it to you. You can take the person home tomorrow!"

Zhu Houzhao said "generously".

Qian Ning was stunned when he heard this. Can an emperor be like this? He sent his wife back after playing with her. What is this? The two of them continue to live?

Qian Ning was originally ready to remarry. Anyway, his wife was like clothes. As long as he could make a fortune, he would have all kinds of women. Now Zhu Houzhao actually returned Qian Han's "kindness and kindness", which made Qian Ning not know how to answer.

Liu Jin said with a dark face: "Qian Baihu, Your Majesty rewards you, why don't you thank me quickly?"

Qian Ning had no choice but to kneel down and thank him. Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he was a beauty of adulthood, and said proudly:

"Qian Baihu, I heard from Eunuch Liu that you have helped me find a lot of women... Today I came out and wanted to go with you..."

Liu Jin originally thought that Zhu Houzhao summoned Qian Ning just for commendation, but now he realized that Zhu Houzhao thought it was not exciting enough, so he actually wanted to do it himself. Now it is sunset, and it must be after nightfall. It is very dangerous to tie up a woman. Liu Jin quickly advises:

"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better if you stay here in the house and let Qian Baihu invite people?"

Zhu Houzhao was angry: "What do I want to do? Don't you need to discuss with your Eunuch Liu? That's it. Qian Baihu, you can mobilize people. I will change into casual clothes and go with you..."

Qian Ning heard the emergency and knew that he was a serious crime to kidnap a woman, but he looked for a woman for the emperor, thinking that even if something happened, someone would protect him. But if the emperor committed an accident with him, if something went wrong, the court would definitely "abandon the car to protect the general." If the matter was leaked, he would undoubtedly die.

But Qian Ning didn't dare to persuade Zhu Houzhao. He was just a martial artist and had no ability. He was nervous when he saw the emperor. How could he dare to talk more nonsense? He could only look at Liu Jin pitifully, hoping that Liu Jin would come forward to persuade him.

But Liu Jin didn't dare to speak nonsense. Zhu Houzhao was the kind of person who acted erratic. He said that he would go to tie the woman back in person and do it, and it was useless to persuade him.

"Tell you, I have already prepared for today. As long as I succeed, I will reward you. You will follow me in the future, just eat delicious food and drink spicy food, and will never treat you badly. But if you say anything, I will kill you so that you will not be upset!"

Zhu Houzhao's threats were very effective. At least Liu Jin and Qian Ning didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so they could only let Zhu Houzhao do whatever he wanted.

...

...

Zhu Houzhao changed into Yexing's clothes, even covered her face, and held a Tang sword in her hand, just like a robber.

This made Qian Ning feel a headache and thought to himself: "If you were caught by a yamen, what should you do if you think of this as a bandit? If you told someone that this is Your Majesty, no one believed it. Wouldn't you be slaughtered at that time?"

Thinking of this, Qian Ning felt that the disaster was coming. He could only find ways to arrange more people to protect Zhu Houzhao, but because he was doing something stealing at night, he did not dare to spread the matter, so he could only find a few confidant brothers to come over and let these people fight to protect Zhu Houzhao.

Even if someone discovers, he must ensure that Zhu Houzhao escapes. As for his own safety, he is no longer concerned.

Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin, Qian Ning and others out of the house, looked around, and asked, "Qian Baihu, have you checked in advance and prepared to grab people?"

Qian Ning was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, I have gone to the north of the city to steal a few women. The government is searching. If I continue to go to the north of the city, I may be discovered by the Yamamamamama. Shuntian Prefecture and Daxing County Yamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamama

Zhu Houzhao nodded seriously: "Since you can't go to the north of the city, then go to the south of the city. Where are the points you have stepped on this time?"

Qian Ning first glanced at Liu Jin, then replied: "Near Suzhou Hutong in Dongdan Archway!"

"I listen to you. Go wherever you think you are suitable. Remember to be more decisive. As for the matter of stealing people, I will do it myself. I will listen to me after I go out. At that time, I called me the boss. You are the second boss. Eunuch Liu. Just be his butler Liu... If you want to withdraw, it will be a direct matter. If there are officers and soldiers, you will say that it is coming..."

Qian Ning became more confused the more he listened. The words in front of him were filled with a strong green forest atmosphere. A slander was so smooth. Had he been traveling around the world before? But he didn't know that Zhu Houzhao was obsessed with martial arts and yearned for the characters inside.

But this time Zhu Houzhao did not do anything like a green forest hero who robbed the rich and helped the poor, but a thief, or even a flower-picking thief that the world is not ashamed of. Unfortunately, the naughty child did not feel guilty. He thought he was the emperor and the whole world belonged to him. It was natural for a few women to enjoy it. He did not feel guilty at all. Instead, he yearned for doing banned things and felt it was very exciting.

"...Remember, after breaking into the house, knock out the threatening person first, find the beauty and run away, I will carry it first, I will carry it first, if you can't carry it, you will come back. If anyone does not work hard, I will cut him off when he comes back, but if things are done, I will be rewarded!" Zhu Houzhao concluded at the end.

Several of Qian Ning's confidants had known the young emperor's temper for a long time. When they heard this, they seemed to be committing crimes under the order. They were all energetic and responded in unison: "Get orders!"

Including Qian Ning, there were a total of nine guards, and Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin, a total of eleven "bandits" were all wearing night clothes. It was okay to walk in the alley. If it was a street, it would be difficult not to be noticed.

Liu Jin followed Zhu Houzhao and persuaded with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, we must act carefully, otherwise... let Qian Baihu take people there?"

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "What is your Majesty, Qian Baihu? You should call the boss and the second boss. If it is not done well, see how I deal with you and leave!"

...

...

When he came out to steal the woman at night, Zhu Houzhao set the precedent for the emperor to make trouble.

Since ancient times, emperors can get women as long as they want to get them, and there are few emperors like Zhu Houzhao who have special hobbies since ancient times.

Walking in the alley, the group tiptoed, afraid of disturbing others.

Fortunately, there are no electric lights and TVs in this era. After dark, ordinary people fall asleep early, so no one realizes that the emperor is passing by.

After walking two streets and approaching Dongdan Archway, the noise of officers and soldiers suddenly came from the street, and the group could only lurk in the alley.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the distance and the person in the group was him.

Relying on being the emperor, he does whatever he wants, and does nothing at all.

Liu Jin whispered: "Master, let's go back..."

"No, I haven't grabbed the person yet, it's too embarrassing to go back like this... I have to live up to my pleasure today..." Zhu Houzhao couldn't extricate herself from the pleasure of crime.

Liu Jin frowned. Just at this moment, the door of a house in the streets suddenly opened with a "creak" sound. Liu Jin was shocked and pointed to the direction where the sound came. Qian Ning reacted in time and had already stepped up quickly. Before the person inside the door was about to come out, he pressed the person to the ground.

“Where is this place?”

Zhu Houzhao looked up and looked at it, not knowing what was going on.

Liu Jin replied: "The door is quite big, it seems to be a wealthy family... let's go!"

"What are you going?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened, looking extremely excited. "It's better to hit a household than to choose a household. This is the one that knocks people out. Brothers, break in!"

...

...

In the study in the Hong family's back home, there was a candle like a bean. Hong Zhuo, who had always had a relationship with Shen Xi, sat opposite his elder brother Hongshe.

"Brother, you'd better withdraw your troops. It's so inconvenient to stay in the mansion!" Hong Zhuo, who has been in the Hou Jun Governor's Office, said to Baoning Hou Hongshe with a bitter face.

The Hong family originally inherited the title of Baoning, but Hong She performed outstandingly in the defense of the capital and tried to protect the Fuchengmen. After the war, he was transferred from the commander of the Beijing Guard Commander to the general of the Zhenzi Camp in the Four Power Camps of the 12th Regiment Battalion.

Recently, there have been frequent reports of civilian women being plundered in the capital. Hong She was worried about his younger brothers, so he drew troops from the Zhen camp to protect him. However, as time passed, the criminals disappeared. Hong Zhuo and his family were not used to outsiders entering and leaving the family, so they found their elder brother and asked him to withdraw their troops.

Hong She did not answer directly, but asked: "Sixth brother, I remember you said back then that when you ran away from home and went to Tingzhou Prefecture, Fujian, you had a good relationship with Chenxi, who was in a short state. Why did Chenxi become the top scholar and rise steadily, but you broke off contact with him?"

Hong Zhuo's face changed. He didn't expect that his elder brother would suddenly mention Chen Xi. He couldn't help but recall Xie Yuner's beauty and said angrily: "Brother, why did you suddenly ask about Shen Xi? I remember that he has been away from Beijing for almost two years..."

Hong Shedao: "Although Chen Xi is not in the capital, the influence has always been there. The emperor mentioned him during the court meeting before, and his words were very affirmative. The Ministry of Personnel also intends to recruit Chen Xi to Nanjing as the Minister of War. Obviously, Shangshu Ma intends to train Chen Xi as the Minister of War. Although the cabinet finally rejected the memorial of the Ministry of Personnel, it will be a matter of time before Chen Xi's position in the emperor's mind... You said I'll ask you what he did?"

Hong Zhuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, do you still remember the daughter of Xie who was engaged to me?"

Hong She nodded: "How come you can't remember? Unfortunately, what the Xie family angered at that time was the current assistant Grand Secretary Li. Although our Hong Family did not do so well after breaking the engagement, under the circumstances at that time, only in this way can the anger of Grand Secretary Li..."

Hong Zhuo smiled bitterly and said, "My fiancée at that time, Xie Yuner, is now Chen Xi's wife. She is currently a third-rank imperial edict... Do you know why I am alienated from Chen Xi?"

Hong She was stunned for a long time and said, "So that's it... So, even if our Hong family wants to defect to Chen Xi in the future, he may not accept us?"

Hong Zhuo shook his head: "This is not necessarily true! I entrusted Chen Xi to take care of Xie Yun'er, and he agreed. Later, by chance, he married Xie Yun'er, but seemed to feel sorry for me. When he met in the capital, he still treated me as a friend. It was not until I learned the truth that my relationship with each other faded..."

"In the past two years, with Lin'er coming to the world, I have reflected on the relationship I had so much thought. I could not give Xie Yun'er hope. She was forced to marry a man by the government at that time, and marrying Chen Xi was the best choice."

"I think, as long as I am willing to let go of this hurdle in my heart and take the initiative to extend my hand, Chen Xi will definitely not refuse... Our Hong family can also lean on the high branches!"

Hong She was very happy: "It's good, it's good! But it's too early to talk about Chen Xi now. He probably has to waste a year or two in the place before he can return to Beijing. Then we will discuss it... let's talk about why you call me here today!"

Hong Zhuo said: "Brother, you are now the general of the second-rank Beijing camp. It is not so good to use your power for personal gain. You are now dispatching people to stay in my home. If it is known to outsiders, it may be inappropriate!"

Hong She looked at him disdain: "It's not that Shuntian Prefecture and Daxing County Government are incompetent. At the beginning of the year, there were cases of forced robbery of women in civilians. In the past two months, there were frequent cases of women being robbed in the capital, otherwise I wouldn't..."
