Liu Jian was suddenly asked by the emperor and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although the status of the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty was relatively high, there was little time for meeting and communication between eunuchs and foreign officials. In addition, they wanted to avoid suspicion on weekdays, so the eunuch who had a personal relationship with Liu Jian could not exist.

No one has a good relationship with Liu Jian, which means that no matter who he recommends, he may not be in the same mind as him.

It is almost impossible to find someone who is as mature and steadfast as Xiao Jing and who likes to compromise in moderation.

Unless you find some eunuchs who are not powerful and are very afraid of cabinet ministers to serve as the chief of the Secretariat, you may be allowed to follow Xiao Jing's old path and compromise with cabinet ministers in everything.

However, such eunuchs usually have little reputation and are not enough to assume the position of being the chief supervisor of the seal.

Liu Jian felt in a dilemma. He wanted to recommend one or two people out, but found that there was no one at hand. Instead, Dai Yi, the chief eunuch of the Silijian who followed the emperor to participate in the court discussion, was more suitable. Dai Yi was more loyal and mediocre. He had not formed a climate in the Silijian for many years.

Liu Jian made a quick decision and recommended: "There is no sign of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, and he should use his pen to make up for it. The old minister thought that Eunuch Dai was the most suitable. But this is a matter within the palace, and it is not appropriate for the old minister to express his opinions."

Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied when she heard Liu Jian say this and said to her, "If you don't care about the best, then whoever I say is who... There are so many eunuchs in the inner palace, who can I find to compete with these old guys? He said that using eunuchs to pen to make up for it, which means that Eunuch Dai takes on the position of sealing."

"It's a pity that Dai Yi doesn't have much ability at all. If he was allowed to take charge of seals, the Silijian might still be controlled by the old guys in the cabinet."

Zhu Houzhao said with great enthusiasm: "I also think it is best to select from the eunuchs on the pen... I have always felt that Liu Jin and Eunuch Liu acted properly and had a reputation in the palace. I am going to let him take charge of the Seal and Legal Supervisor. I wonder what your ministers have to do?"

Since Liu Jian opened the door, Zhu Houzhao took the opportunity to go upstairs. He never thought that Liu Jian was right and wrong, saying that he didn't care, just to gain a good reputation... With Liu Jian's current momentum of power in the court and the opposition, he would never allow a person who was not in his favor to come out to serve as the position of the chief supervisor of the seal who could control the cabinet.

Any eunuch who came from the Eastern Palace or who was often followed by the Eastern Palace was not attracted to Liu Jian's eyes. In Liu Jian's view, it was precisely because these eunuchs were experiencing power management skills and changed their skills to please the emperor that they caused the rift between the king and the ministers today.

Liu Jian even felt that the reason why the emperor was so resistant to the cabinet and civil servants was because the eunuchs were sowed by the disagreement in front of Zhu Houzhao. Therefore, in Liu Jian's eyes, he looked down on the eunuchs from the Eastern Palace at all, and Liu Jin and Zhang Yuan were representatives.

Liu Jian didn't say anything, but just shook his head slightly. Li Dongyang took the initiative to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the old minister, Eunuch Liu has a low qualification and is not enough to take on the responsibility of the Chief Eunuch in charge of the seal. On the contrary, the Chief Eunuch Dai is able to do this position with his pen."

Zhu Houzhao frowned and thought to herself, didn’t you say you didn’t care? Why did you start to object just now that I just decided to let Liu Jin take on the heavy responsibility? It’s just saying one thing to do another!

Zhu Houzhao asked, "Do you all think so?"

With Li Dongyang coming forward, the civil and military ministers had something to say. Shi Lin, the right censor of the Censorate, took the initiative to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Liu is from the Eastern Palace and has followed Your Majesty for many years. He has a good qualification, but the ritual supervision is extraordinary. Eunuch Liu has been in prison for less than half a year and has made no achievements. How can he participate in the major affairs in the court? Please take back your life!"

Recommendation has no effect anymore.

Liu Jian and others were very disappointed with the emperor. These people thought that they could satisfy the emperor by doing things with all their hearts. Only then did they realize that the emperor was wary of them everywhere.

Zhu Houzhao stood up and said in an extremely tough tone: "I just want to use Liu Jin as the supervisor of the Secretariat. Who doesn't agree?"

There was a silence in Fengtian Palace, and no one came out to speak. After a while, he asked again: "Who doesn't agree? Stand out and speak, otherwise I will settle down like this!"

At this moment, Han Wen, the Minister of Revenue, who had not spoken before, walked out and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister does not agree!"

"What did you say?"

Zhu Houzhao said angrily, "Shangshu Han, say it again, what do you disagree with?"

Korean words are hand in hand, powerful and powerful: "The old minister disagrees with Your Majesty the Majesty the Eunuch who uses Liu's thief as the eunuch in charge of the seal, and he is not worthy!"

When this was said, the people present were secretly shocked. Han Wen's words were like breaking up with the emperor... Zhu Houzhao regarded Liu Jin as a favored eunuch, while Han Wen called Liu Jin a "thief-eunuch". It was so rough and direct that once Zhu Houzhao wanted to continue to push Liu Jin to the throne, he would start a debate with Han Wen.

Zhu Houzhao was very angry when she heard Han Wen's name to Liu Jin and said sternly: "What's wrong with the eunuch? Even if it's a dog, it's my dog, not your Han Shangshu's dog! I have decided to establish Liu thief... Liu Jin is the supervisor of the Secretariat, and you must not object!"

Originally, Shen Xi had made a good plan, but Zhu Hou did it.

Seeing that the scene was out of control, Empress Dowager Zhang stood up and said, "Today's court discussion is over, and retreat. Eunuch Dai, please help the emperor to rest in the back hall."

At this time, Dai Yi had not been taken down by the guards. When he heard Empress Dowager Zhang's words, he was as if he had been amnesty and quickly broke free from the guards, rushed to the jade steps, and kowtowed towards the curtain of Empress Dowager Zhang.

Zhu Houzhao shouted: "Mother, my son is not tired. My son wants to argue with these ministers. Who is the eunuch? Who are they scolding?"

Han Wen looked determined and said seriously: "The eunuch is Liu Jin, and the ungrateful eunuchs in the East Palace who are ungrateful, actually harm the country and the people, and encouraged His Majesty to do something wrong in the palace. The old minister thinks these people should be punished!"

Zhu Houzhao almost went down the jade stairs to fight Han Wen. Seeing this, Dai Yi quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Houzhao. Several eunuchs came from behind and pulled Zhu Houzhao to the back hall with all their strength.

Liu Jian came out and turned to the civil and military officials in the palace and said, "I will discuss today's affairs again. Your Majesty is unwell and you will have to rest later. Please come back, my ministers!"

These words were exactly what all the ministers present thought. They all wanted to leave early and immediately withdrew from the hall after saluting.

Korean, who had a verbal argument with the emperor, was also carried out from Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Houzhao returned to the back of Fengtian Hall angrily and smashed the things when she saw them. Liu Jin, who had been waiting for news in the back hall, knew that things were not as smooth as expected.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Liu Jin was not clear about it and could only come forward to persuade him to express his loyalty.
