Zhang Wenmian didn't know how to draft an edict, but Sun Cong was a master.

Before Zhang Wenmian came to Liu Jin as a think tank, these things were always done by Sun Cong, and Sun Cong could handle them properly every time. This is also the main reason why Sun Cong often favors civil servants, Liu Jin still cannot do without him.

After receiving the edict drafted by Sun Cong, Liu Jin went to see Zhu Houzhao without stopping and asked Zhu Houzhao to review and use the seal.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was already stuck in the pile of makeup and had no intention of meddling in these nostalgic business. Liu Jin was one of the few people who could meet the driver when Zhu Houzhao was visiting women. At this time, Zhu Houzhao showed impatience, just in line with Liu Jin's wishes.

Liu Jin slowly mastered some tricks. Whenever Zhu Houzhao was keen on doing anything, such as eating, drinking and having fun, he would report things. Regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, Zhu Houzhao would be able to do it.

Moreover, Zhu Houzhao is very proud of his face. Even if he finds something wrong afterwards, and the decision he makes is too hasty, he will not take it back.

After discovering Zhu Houzhao's personality weakness, it became easier for Liu Jin to do things.

As expected, Liu Jin soon received the edict of Zhu Houzhao's personal hand and the treasure seal was used. He was overjoyed, as if he had seen Chen Xi kneeling in front of him and bowing and admitting his mistake.

When Liu Jin walked out of the leopard room, he saw Qian Ning standing at the door with a dirt-faced face, frowning tightly, obviously worried about what had happened before.

Liu Jin asked, "Qian Qianhu, what's wrong? Why are you so depressed?"

Liu Jin was in a very good mood at this time and couldn't help but make fun of Qian Ning.

Qian Ning replied with a bitter face: "Hey, Eunuch Liu, you don't know how much bitter the villain is in his heart, it's really hard to describe!"

Liu Jin didn't mind lending a helping hand at this time: "What's the pain? Let's tell our family together, but because of the matter of Shuntian Mansion? Our family will help you solve it. The little Shuntian Mansion Prefecture Prime Minister dare not take Qiao with our family. The person detained by Shuntian Mansion will turn around and release it for you, and then continue to find beautiful women for Your Majesty... But the beauty is given to Your Majesty, and you must not get involved."

Qian Ning said gratefully: "The villain is unforgettable to remember the great kindness of his father-in-law, but the villain's embarrassment is definitely not this..."

Liu Jin was a little displeased, turned cold and asked, "What, do you have anything else to do to help you?"

Qian Ning waved his hand quickly: "It's not that villain wants to deliberately trouble Eunuch Liu. It's because there are too many trivial matters around him. My father-in-law knows that His Majesty will stay in the leopard room in the next few days. Originally, there is a lack of service staff in the leopard room, and the villain can't handle it... His Majesty is in the leopard room every day, playing in different ways. The villain has a humble status. Even if he can think of some ideas, how can he get it for His Majesty?"

Liu Jin raised his lips and said contemptuously: "You don't think you have little power at hand, right?"

"I dare not, I dare not!" Qian Ning quickly denied.

Liu Jin said: "You are now a popular person around His Majesty. There are many people who have flattered you from below. It's just that you are embarrassed by the people from Shuntian Mansion, which makes you so depressed?"

"Our family can't help you with the promotion. You are now a thousand households of Jinyiwei. If you want to be promoted again, only His Majesty can speak the money. Our family is not qualified, but our family can say good things to you in front of His Majesty."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," Qian Ning thanked you repeatedly.

Liu Jin took a step forward, pressed his hand on Qian Ning's shoulder, and said earnestly: "If you can do your best to help our family, it is also necessary for our family to promote you a little. I am afraid that you will forget your righteousness when you see profit and forget the benefits our family gives you, hum!"

"If you dare not, you dare, the villain will definitely die for your father-in-law!" Qian Ning patted his chest and made a solemn statement.

...

...

After Liu Jin received the edict, he ordered the world to officially promulgate the next day.

He knew that Zhu Houzhao would not return to the palace. If he had to wait until Zhu Houzhao came to court before talking about these things, perhaps he would have to wait at least ten days after the wedding.

This is something Liu Jin couldn't wait. He could not wait to take Chen Xi and the Ministry of War into the hands of the Ministry of War, so when he couldn't wait to issue the edict, he took people directly to the Ministry of War.

When Yaowu was at the military department, Liu Jin and the soldiers standing guard at the military department said they were coming to review the bad government and met with Chen Xi, they were told that Chen Xi had not arrived at the military department's office that day, and it seemed that something was wrong at home.

Liu Jin looked like a villain and was successful: "Oh, this Shangshu Chen is really free as an official. He stipulated the daily schedule of your Ministry of War, but he himself did not follow the rules and hid at home and was lazy? This is also one of the bad policies. Our family cannot ignore this kind of thing!"

Liu Jin, regardless of the officers and soldiers on duty, entered the main courtyard of the Ministry of War, and happened to meet Wang Shouren who came out to see the truth after hearing the news.

When Wang Shouren saw that the person who broke into the military department was Liu Jin, he was a little embarrassed. This person caused his father to retire. Li Dongyang and Liu Jian, who he respected, also retired and returned home. In just one year, the court was chaotic and had a deep prejudice towards Liu Jin.

Wang Shouren stepped forward without saluting, and asked in a normal tone: "Why did Eunuch Liu visit the Ministry of War?"

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this Bo'an? How about it, Ling Zun is doing well recently?"

Wang Shouren didn't expect that Liu Jin would be so kind to him, but he didn't know that Liu Jin hated him before, just Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, who actually respected his father Wang Hua very much. He even asked someone to test Wang Hua's words before to see if Wang Hua was willing to come out to help him do things.

Wang Hua did not agree to Liu Jin in accordance with the principle of not offending the civil servant group. However, in order to protect his son's official position and future, Wang Hua did not engage in evil with the people sent by Liu Jin to recruit, but only expressed that he had no intention of the officialdom for the time being.

As a result, Liu Jin thought that he had the opportunity to accept famous officials like Wang Hua under his command, and his attitude towards Wang Shouren naturally improved a lot.

Liu Jin admires young people like Wang Shouren very much. After he took power, he knew the importance of talents very well. When he saw Wang Shouren in the Ministry of War today, he thought that he might be able to use Wang Shouren to check and balance Chen Xi, and he couldn't help but develop a love for talents.

Wang Shouren responded respectfully: "My father is in good health. If you are tired, Eunuch Liu is worried. Today, it will be time for Secretary Chen to rest. If Eunuch Liu has something to look for, you can visit him, but I don't know if Chen's mansion is welcome!"

When Liu Jin heard such straightforward words, he was not upset and treated Wang Shouren as a naughty young man.

After all, Wang Shouren is Wang Hua's son and has been an official for a few years.

Then Liu Jin remembered Chen Xi, who was younger than Wang Shouren, but he was about Wang Shouren for many years. He was a terrifying figure like a jackal, tiger and leopard. He had to deal with it with all his strength and would never think of winning over and buying it.

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Lingzun is a respected minister in the court. He has always admired us. Now the Ming Dynasty is in the process of hiring people. Even if Lingzun cannot come out to work for the court for a while, he still contributed a pillar of talent like Bo'an."

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Today, our family is actually for the court's business. Since Shangshu Chen is not here, then our family will tell you the same thing. Just talk to you!"

Liu Jin has always been friendly to scholars who deserve to be won over. Wang Hua used to be very famous in the court. He was the most promising minister in the Hanyuan system. He and his son Wang Shouren are also known for his knowledge. Liu Jin has always wanted to win over the father and son to his own camp and strengthen their power.

Unfortunately, Wang Hua himself is the core figure of the civil service group. When Liu Jian and Li Dongyang supported Wang Hua into the cabinet, and after Liu Jin came to power, Wang Hua did not hesitate to resign. He did not break up with Liu Jin just for his son's career.

Wang Shouren is not a person who is willing to sacrifice his integrity for power. Even if he complains to Liu Jinxu, it does not mean that he will obey Liu Jin's call and join the eunuch party camp.

Liu Jin originally came to the Ministry of War to put pressure on Chen Xi, but unfortunately Chen Xi was not there, so he simply chose to be familiar with Wang Shouren, deliberately showing his respect for the wise and humble side, speaking like a spring breeze, making it difficult for Wang Shouren to handle himself.

Wang Shouren politely declined: "My father-in-law is a mischievous praise. I am just a mediocre official in the court and cannot be appreciated by my father-in-law. If my father-in-law wants to find Shangshu Chen, I will go to Chen's mansion to communicate with you!"

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Boan is too reserved in front of our family. Our family has always admired and dared to promote promising young people. If you can get closer to our family in the future, our family can help you further... With your ability, even if you can't become a minister, it would be more than enough to be a minister."

"I dare not take it, I dare not take it!"

Wang Shouren quickly bowed and refused.

Wang Shouren was very principled and could not take the initiative to move closer to the eunuch party. He understood the situation he was facing. Even if he said a few more words to Liu Jin alone, his colleagues would have a lot of criticism, and the public's clear discussions on him would be greatly affected.

Liu Jin has always praised Wang Shouren, and did not expect to win over this outstanding talent into his own army at one time. He just expressed his kindness first and prepared to find an opportunity to gather Wang Hua and Wang Shouren into his camp at some time in the future.

After a while, he realized that Wang Shouren's attitude was not very enthusiastic, so Liu Jin could only take care of what he had at hand and said, "Boan, this time our family came to inform us. Your Majesty just issued an order. From today on, our family will investigate the ills of the six departments, and the Ministry of War is no exception..."

"If Shangshu Chen comes back, you tell him that our family has been here and let him go to our mansion. We have many things to ask about. If he insists on not going, he will bear the consequences!"

Liu Jin came to see Chen Xi on his own initiative, but he was unable to get what he wanted, so he prepared to let Chen Xi go to his mansion as a guest.

In this way, the Ministry of War was naturally under the control of the Sili Supervisor, and Chen Xi would be regarded as a villain who defected to the eunuch party by the court officials as a benefit.

Liu Jin asked that his opponents would not be able to turn over, and that Chen Xi would not be allowed to enjoy the privileges above him, and would suppress Chen Xi at any time. His mind was now full of conspiracy and tricks.

Wang Shouren saluted: "I remember what Eunuch Liu said. If Mr. Chen comes back, he will definitely tell me. Is there anything else to do with my father-in-law?"

Liu Jin was expelled from the order to get rid of the guest. He smiled reluctantly and said, "We have to go to the other yamen of the six ministries to check it out, so we won't stop for a long time."

"Boan, you don't have to send it to us. If you have time to have a banquet at our house."

...

...

When Xie Qian went to Wenyuan Pavilion to work in the morning, he was surprised to hear that the court was going to investigate the bad policies of the six ministries. The headlines of the Sili Supervisor. He knew that this was the countermeasures taken by Liu Jin, so he immediately went to the Ministry of War to find Chen Xi. Although he had not seen anyone, he learned from Wang Shouren that Liu Jin had been there. Xie Qian did not dare to be negligent. While sighing that he was late, he could barely avoid Liu Jin, the plague god, while asking Wang Shouren to follow him to Chen Mansion.

In Xie Qian's opinion, it is time to train helpers for Chen Xi, and Xie Qian believes that the best candidate is Wang Shouren.

Xie Qian and Wang Hua have a very good relationship. The examiner he was the one who was the first to take the exam was Xie Qian.

Like Li Dongyang and others, Xie Qian admired Wang Shouren's talent very much. In addition, Wang Shouren was in the same year as Chen Xi, and the two of them had a deep friendship. Xie Qian went with the flow and wanted Wang Shouren to take real power in the Ministry of War and help Chen Xi.

Xie Qian and Wang Shouren took a carriage to the gate of Shen Mansion. They felt that the house in front of them was like a large construction site, which was particularly noisy, but the Shen family was building an enlarged house.

Because Zhu Houzhao gave the Shen family the power to expand the mansion, the inner government and Shuntian Prefecture yamen helped to do the work. The Shen family successfully bought the courtyards of several families around the mansion and expanded them vigorously.

Xie Qian stood at the door and looked at it for a while before he remembered the purpose of this trip. He rushed into the gate of Chen Mansion. After walking for a long time, no one came to support him.

Wang Shouren was a little worried: "Gei Master Xie, why don't you find someone to report to Chen Tongnian first?"

Xie Qian said angrily: "There was a fire in the Chen Mansion before, and he had already reminded him to be careful. Now, the outsider entered the yard and ignored him even though he drove straight in. Has the security work been strengthened?"

While he was talking, Zhu Qi came over with two servants and saluted: "Master Xie, you are here."

Xie Qian said: "Is Shen Zhihou at home?"

Zhu Qi quickly replied: "Is it here? Is it yours? Is it yours?"

Xie Qian frowned: "I have arrived here, why do you need to spread it? If he is in the study, I can go there directly... This is Wang Shouren, the doctor of the Ministry of War."

Zhu Qi didn't know what rank the doctor of the Ministry of War was, but only knew that he was a colleague of Chen Xi. He quickly led the way for Xie Qian and Wang Shouren and led the two outside the study. Chen Xi happened to come out of the study and saw them, Chen Xi was a little surprised.

"Gei Master Xie?"

Chen Xi greeted her and then looked at Xie Qian with a puzzled look.

Xie Qian didn't want to stand outside and talk to Chen Xi, so he raised his hand: "Go in and talk!"

Wang Shouren, who was behind, had already saluted Chen Xi, and Chen Xi gave a salutation, and then welcomed the two into the study.

Xie Qian was not polite at all, as if he had entered his own house. He sat in the guest seat and completely regarded himself as his master. He raised his hand to Chen Xi: "Sit down!"

In one sentence, Chen Xi was very embarrassed.

Wang Shouren, who was following Xie Qian, then remembered that the two people in front of him were relatives, and stood aside in a little cramped manner. When Chen Xi sat down, Xie Qian added: "Boan, sit down and talk, and explain the matter of Liu Jin going to the Ministry of War. It's so good, listen carefully, this matter is not small!"

...

...

After a brief discussion on Wang Shouren's general Liu Jin's power to show off his power in the Ministry of War, Chen Xi finished listening patiently.
