No one of the eunuchs in the palace was convinced. Although Liu Jin was in power, the eunuchs in the palace were in charge of seals and seals, and they all fought against each other and refused to recognize their relatives.

Li Rong went up and kicked Liu Jin hard, kicking Liu Jin to the ground.

Liu Jin got up from the ground with a dirt on his face, subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhu Houzhao, and found that the emperor was looking elsewhere impatiently. He was also annoyed, so he rushed over and fought with Li Rong.

Liu Jin pinched Li Rong's neck and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, look at your Majesty, the eunuch named Li is already crazy. He dares to beat Weichen in front of you..."

Li Rong scolded: "Okay, Liu Jin, you don't make drafts when you tell lies. It's obviously you who framed our family first, but now you are hitting people again, ah..."

As he was talking, Li Rong suddenly exclaimed, but it was Liu Jin's fist that greeted him. Li Rong was not polite and immediately waved his fist and punched Liu Jin's forehead.

Although Li Rong's status in the palace was not as good as Liu Jin, he was still the eunuch who was the imperial supervisor. He had relatively old qualifications in the palace and served Zhu Houzhao when he was a child. He looked down on the rising star Liu Jin at all.

Wei Bin and others next to him wanted to go forward to help Liu Jin, but were afraid that the emperor would blame him, so they could only gather around and persuade him. Wei Bin said, "Your Majesty is right next to you. The two father-in-laws must be decent... Stop!"

Everyone was waiting for Zhu Houzhao to express his opinion, but Zhu Houzhao seemed to have seen the eunuch fight for the first time, and she actually looked at it with her hips on her hips and her expressions were dancing, and she seemed very satisfied.

Zhu Houzhao refused to stop drinking, and it was in vain that the eunuch was just persuading him.

Li Rong and Liu Jin were both arrogant at this time. Soon, the blue and purple color on their faces were already seen, and each of them fell several times.

In the end, Zhu Houzhao felt that the eunuch's fight was not fierce enough, and there was no tragic momentum of either death or injury, so she waved her hand and said, "Stop..."

Liu Jin and Li Rong were fighting happily, but they didn't hear Zhu Houzhao's shouting. Zhang Yuan next to him quickly reminded loudly: "Two father-in-laws, your majesty asks you to stop."

The two entangled with each other were unheard of their ears, and they still punched each other and kicked each other. Zhu Houzhao frowned slightly and shouted angrily: "Stop!"

Seeing the emperor getting angry, Li Rong and Liu Jin let go of their hands, but even if they retreated, the two of them staring at each other, as if they wanted to swallow the enemy in front of them alive.

Judging from the current situation, Liu Jin basically did not win the lottery, but Li Rong was seriously injured.

Liu Jin is in his fifties and is relatively strong. He takes a little advantage in this fight. Of course, this is related to the eunuch next to him secretly stumbled when he persuaded the fight, specifically targeting Li Rong.

After Liu Jin retreated, he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao repeatedly, and cried, "Your Majesty, look, Li Rong doesn't take the old slave seriously at all, that is, he doesn't take your Majesty seriously at all."

Li Rong also knelt on the ground and cried at the top of his throat: "Your Majesty, it is obvious that the Liu surnamed is too lying to kill the slave. The slave can only resist desperately..."

If your father says that your mother has reason, you will show that you have been wronged.

Zhu Houzhao seemed very impatient: "There are so many reasons to fight each other in front of me? People come and drag the two of them down, and each of them beat the 20th board."

Zhu Houzhao, no matter who the two eunuchs had a higher status in the palace, was the emperor, and both of them were his slaves, so he would do whatever he wanted.

Liu Jin was used to showing off his power in the palace, but the person in front of him was his master. The master said he wanted to fight, but he didn't dare to struggle. The two were dragged aside, their pants were pulled out, and then they "smacked" and started to beat the board.

It seems fair to have a 20-plus slap, but the attackers have different strengths.

What is Liu Jin's identity? Who dares to hit him? Even if Liu Jin screams so hard, the board on his butt is much lighter than Li Rong's side.

After the 20th round, Zhu Houzhao didn't want to pay attention to what was happening in front of him, nor did he want to listen to Li Rong and Liu Jin telling the right and wrong again. In addition, he was already very sleepy after playing all night. He left a sentence, "I will be honest with you. If anyone commits it again, he will definitely punish you and will not lend you." Then he went straight to the Ganqing Palace.

After the emperor left, many people rushed forward to comfort Liu Jin, and Huang Xing, the eunuch in charge of the seal, quickly brought people to carry Li Rong away, so as not to be retaliated by Liu Jin and his accomplices.

Liu Jin was carried back to the mansion and said he wanted to recover from his injuries, but in fact, the twenty-two boards did not make him lose his skin and his butt was at most bruised and swollen, and he could not sleep lying down for a few days.

"Then Li Rong dared to beat our family, which was really too much! You must try to kill him, otherwise it would be impossible to relieve the hatred in your heart!" After Liu Jin returned, he called Sun Cong and Zhang Wenmian to discuss the killing of Li Rong.

Sun Cong said cautiously: "It is probably not that easy for your father-in-law to kill Li Rong... Eunuch Li had served in the Eastern Palace, and had previously presented beauties and pills to Your Majesty through the hands of Eunuch Zhang Yuan and Zhang, which was highly valued by Your Majesty. This time, Your Majesty did not punish him is enough to prove that the holy favor has not declined."

Liu Jin was very angry when he heard this and said angrily: "I didn't expect this guy to do this."

Sun Cong and Zhang Wenmian looked at each other and soon started... Even they knew what the emperor liked, let alone the eunuchs in the palace who were closer to the emperor? Everyone would try their best to please the emperor. It was not only Liu Jin who knew how to offer elixirs and beauties, but other eunuchs would also strive to show off in front of the emperor in order to be promoted.

Therefore, Liu Jin has obvious advantages compared with ministers, but it may not be true for eunuchs in the palace.

Zhang Wenmian said: "If my father-in-law wants to kill Li Rong, it is better to find an opportunity to transfer him outside and let him go to the local area to serve as a military supervisor or a eunuch in custody, so as not to pose a threat to you."

...

...

Liu Jin and Li Rong fought in the palace, and the news soon broke out of the palace gate.

Even if Liu Jin wanted to kill Li Rong, Zhu Houzhao trusted Li Rong very much and could only find another opportunity to get rid of Li Rong. Of course no one cares about who the memorial to impeach Liu Jin was.

Li Rong also wanted to find an opportunity to kill Liu Jin.

The eunuchs in the palace were fighting for the battle, and they were not convinced, but this did not affect Liu Jin's status in the court. Especially after he established his authority at the Meridian Gate, the ministers in the court were afraid that Liu Jin would do whatever they wanted to fight with him. Since even Xie Qian had to plead with Liu Jin in a low voice to protect the officials who were imprisoned, others were even less confident to challenge Liu Jin.

After Xie Qiong returned to his home, he said he was ill and stayed at home for ten days, feeling ashamed to see people.

Regarding Xie Qian's plea with Liu Jin in the court, the next day, the day Liu Jin and Li Rong had a fight, it was already known to everyone in the court. Liu Jin deliberately made people say this matter out loud, and wanted to convey a message to the officials in the court: There is no good end to go against me. If you want to be safe and sound, it is best to know the current affairs like Xie Qian. Whoever doesn't cooperate should not blame me for being ruthless.

During the past ten days, cabinet ministers Jiao Fang, Wang Yang, Shangshu Li Jie, Tu Xun and others visited each other many times, but they were unable to see Xie Qian.

It was during this period that the personnel affairs in the court changed again. Gu Zuo, the Minister of Revenue, Tu Xun, the Minister of Justice, and Li Jie, the Minister of Rites, also had plans to retire and return home.

Now Liu Jin has completely controlled the government affairs, and even the censors are completely under Liu Jin's control, and the rumors are blocked. As a result, the neutral factions in the court have begun to tend toward each other, and for a moment, Liu Jin's mansion is crowded.

"...Ah, the world is vicissitudes, people's hearts are not old, and the good court has become like this in less than two years. If you go to the Huangquan to see the former emperor, you really don't know how to face it... This is the peaceful and prosperous era left by the former emperor?"

Although Xie Qian hid at home and didn't leave, he didn't care about anything, and basically what happened in the court could not hide it from him.

He gave up his dignity to rescue the officials who were trapped in the imperial prison, but no one appreciated it. Many ministers behind his back criticized him, thinking that it was because of Xie Qian's inaction that Liu Jin became bigger.

Xie Qian could not argue for himself. He felt that he was passive in fighting against Liu Jin. The key was that Liu Jin could often see the emperor and had the final power. No matter how powerful he was, he was only the emperor's secretary and consultant and could not control the overall situation.

"Zhihou will be back to the court in a few days. He originally wanted to leave him a good working environment before he came back, but now it seems...ah!"

Thinking of the current chaos in the court, Xie Qian sighed and was very helpless. Now he himself cannot challenge Liu Jin, and he does not expect Shen Xi to do anything after returning to the court.

"It's better to let Zhihou find an opportunity to transfer to the outside world. Whether he is a governor or a governor, it's better than staying in the court. He is deeply trusted by His Majesty. After returning to the court, he will become a thorn in Liu Jin's eyes. Now that Liu Jin is powerful, how should Zhihou face the enemy head-on with Liu Jin? It's better to leave the capital earlier!"

Xie Qian was worried about Shen Xi's affairs.

At that time, he followed the advice of Xu Jin, the Minister of Personnel, and agreed to Shen Xi return to the court to serve as the Minister of War. At that time, he felt that with Shen Xi there, he could work hand in hand with him, the chief assistant, to fight with Liu Jin.

As a result, Shen Xi returned to the court, and he ended in a defeat in the fight with Liu Jin, losing the determination and courage to continue confronting the eunuch party.

These days, Xie Qian has been writing a memorial book and wants to apply to Zhu Houzhao to transfer Shen Xi to external transfer, and found a new place for Shen Xi. Since Shen Xi has just returned from the three sides, it is not suitable to return. If the northwest is not possible, let Shen Xi go to Liaodong and manage a fertile land well.

The Jurchens in the Zhengde Dynasty, the land of Liaodong, had not yet risen, and the Ming Dynasty occupied an absolute dominant position in Liaodong. Although in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty officials, Liaodong was a "barbaric land" and a "hard and cold land", at least the conditions were better than the northwest. There was no great military pressure here, and in the northwest, it was all the time to deal with the Tatars' border affairs.

"If this matter can be accomplished, let Zhihou stay in Liaodong for a few more years to see if Liu Jin will lose power in a few years. Now I really don't know how to defeat him. Your Majesty does not care about the government affairs, and the whole court is intimidated by Liu Jin. Even if there are some loyal and direct ministers, they all want to retreat and choose to retire... Can you only wait until this eunuch of power dies before the court can get back on track? Alas!"

At this point, Xie Qian seemed to be able to do nothing but sighing.
