Isn’t Zhou Jing also an old fox?

If you fight against you, I will be entrusted by others to be loyal to others. Whatever your final result will be, just don't blame me.

Jiao Fang didn't care about questioning Zhou Jing, and because she stood opposite Chen Xi, she had no way to argue with Chen Xi, so she turned her sleeves away, and a happy look appeared on Tu Xun's face next to her.

"It seems that Yu Qiao succeeded." Tu Xun said.

Zhou Jing understood the meaning of Tu Xun's words, looked at Jiao Fang's hurriedly leaving, shook his head, his face full of worry: "So what if Yu Qiao takes action? Your Majesty here is completely unaware of it. If Your Majesty cares about it, how should this matter end?"

Zhou Jing and Tu Xun looked at each other and stopped talking, while Chen Xi stood beside him with a calm expression.

"It's getting late."

Zhou Jing looked at the sky and said, "Zhihou, since Xie Shangshu has entered the palace, you should go back to the house, right? After most of the night, I didn't expect it to be futile. We have been here for so long."

Chen Xi bowed and thanked him: "Thank you all for your hard work."

Tu Xun said: "Oh, Yu Qiao suddenly entered the palace, and it must be a request to the Empress Dowager to deal with the court officials' impeachment of Wei Bin... Only when Yu Qiao entered the palace could the Empress Dowager be willing to see him. I had never thought of this before... so thick, do you know about this?"

Chen Xi did not answer Tu Xun's question directly, saying: "I am here today to report the military information of the border. Master Xie Ge entered the palace to ask for the Empress Dowager, but he did not participate."

"Not participating" is an ambiguous statement. As for not following Xie Qian into the palace or not participating in the planning, Tu Xun, Zhou Jing and others can only think about it themselves.

Zhou Jing asked, "So, do you still have to stay here and wait for the holy meeting?"

"yes!"

Chen Xi said bluntly, "The military situation at the border has not reached the level of heaven. Those who are ministers can only wait patiently. If you cannot support your strength, please go back and rest first, and don't have to accompany you to suffer."

Zhou Jing said with a little dissatisfaction: "If you have to wait, just wait. It's really bad to blow here against the north wind. I'm not young anymore. I haven't been overnight for many years. I feel that every moment is torment... Yuanxun, are you going together?"

Tu Xun nodded, Li Jue and others naturally followed the crowd, and each of them went to their own carriages and sedan chairs.

Chen Xi returned to his horse stool and sat down, waiting patiently to meet the emperor, as if Xie Qian's impeachment of Wei Bin really had nothing to do with him.

...

...

Jiao Fang went directly to the Ministry of Personnel and met the Minister of Shangshu Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was so anxious that he was like an ant on the hot pan. When he heard that Jiao Fang had arrived, he went straight to the gate and said in a hurry as soon as he met:

"Xie Yuqiao went to the palace to meet the empress dowager, but he went with the Hou of Shouning. He was not sure what he said specifically. I am afraid that the impeachment of Eunuch Wei has succeeded, because the Hou of Shouning took people to the Sanqian Camp's garrison shortly after leaving the palace."

Jiao Fang said annoyedly: "I knew that Xie Yuqiao would stay away from the guests today. There must be something wrong with it. I don't want to be on guard against him."

Liu Yu asked quickly: "Why did Mr. Jiao Ge be so careless that he actually let Xie Yuqiao succeed? What should I do now? Eunuch Liu is not in the capital..."

Seeing Liu Yu questioning himself, Jiao Fang was very angry and thought to himself, "Do you still blame me? You don't look at what you did. After something happened, you don't even have a plan. You can just talk. It's really an official position obtained by tricks, and you don't even have any real skills!"

"Go to see Keming first and listen to what he means!" Jiao Fang said.

Liu Yu hurriedly agreed: "This is reasonable. We have gone to see Sun Cong first. After all, Eunuch Liu gave instructions before leaving and asked him to take charge of the overall situation."

The two left the Ministry of Personnel and rushed to Sun Cong's mansion without stopping.

However, Sun Cong said that day, he didn't know what happened to Xie Qian and Shen Xi, and he thought that Jiao Fang and Liu Yu would notify him in time. As a result, after Xie Qian entered the palace to impeach Wei Bin in front of Empress Dowager Zhang, the two of them came to the mansion to visit. Sun Cong, who woke up from his sleep, knew what was going on.

"...What the two adults mean is that Young Master Xie has entered the palace tonight to see the Queen Mother?" Sun Cong asked in surprise.

Jiao Fang's face was gloomy and said, "I heard it later, but Xie Yuqiao and Shouning Hou entered the palace together. I was afraid there was any agreement between them... I went to the Xie Mansion to visit him before, but the disciple said that Xie Yuqiao left the mansion and disappeared. He thought he had gone to see Shen Zhihou, but he didn't know that the person he was looking for was Shouning Hou."

Sun Cong thought for a moment and waved his hand and said, "I don't think it's necessary. Xie Shaofu should be in the mansion at that time... He clearly set up a bureau with Shen Zhihou, so that Master Jiao Ge, you think that Shangshu Chen is the one who came forward to impeach Wei Bin in front of His Majesty and lure you to the Leopard Room. In this way, you can't be wary of Shangshu Xie meeting the Marquis of Shouning overnight and entering the palace to meet the Empress Dowager together."

Liu Yu was so angry that he stamped his feet: "Oh, I always feel something is wrong. It turns out that Shen Zhihou was making trouble, and Mr. Jiao Ge was too careless..."

Jiao Fang and Sun Cong looked at Liu Yu at the same time, and their eyes seemed to be saying, "Shen Zhihou used the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain, but what did you do?"

Why don’t you know about Xie’s move to the palace? Didn’t you send anyone to focus on Xie’s mansion?

Sun Cong comforted, "The incident started suddenly, and even if you were prepared in advance, you could not stop Xie Shangshu from entering the palace to meet the empress dowager. But now I don't know what decision the empress dowager will make. After the Hou of Shouning left the palace, did he go to Sanqian Camp?"

"It is reported that Shouning Hou returned home first and then brought people to the Sanqian Camp!" Liu Yu replied first.

Sun Cong sighed bitterly: "Then this matter is not going to turn around. Now we can only hope that Your Majesty will take back his life after knowing it... Two lords, where is Shangshu Chen now?"

"Shen Zhihou..."

Liu Yu turned his head and looked at Jiao Fang, "According to Jiao Ge Lao, Shen Zhihou is still outside the leopard room now? Will he take the opportunity to meet the saint to confirm Xie Ge Lao's impeachment?"

Jiao Fang was shocked and frowned: "After hearing the news, I rushed back to deal with the matter without thinking about it, but I was not careful that the cunning boy would be behind me... Well, that boy was full of tricks, and today's affairs were linked together. It was not Xie Yuqiao's style of doing things, but it was mostly planned behind the scenes!"

Sun Cong's face was solemn: "Old Jiaoge should not stay for a long time. Hurry up and go to the leopard room to avoid being faced alone by Shangshu Chen. If Your Majesty agrees with Shangshu Chen's request, this matter is probably not so easy to solve!"

Liu Yu also urged: "Ge Jiao go and have a look quickly to prevent that kid from tampering with it."

Jiao Fang was extremely angry and said to himself: "My old bones have been spent with Shen Zhihou for most of the night. The bones are almost torn apart. Now they are still running around... Besides, even if they rush to the scene, they may have taken the opportunity to enter the leopard room and face the saint, which is purely futile."

Sun Cong accompanied Liu Yu and Jiao Fang to the gate. Before getting on the carriage, Sun Cong repeatedly reminded: "If things cannot turn around, the two adults don't have to force each other. After all, it is only involved in Eunuch Wei's affairs and has not yet involved Eunuch Liu... I will go to Xuanfu to submit what happened in the capital to Eunuch Liu, and let you go!"

After leaving Sun's mansion, Liu Yu and Jiao Fang were in a hurry and headed towards the leopard room.

Fortunately, Sun Cong’s mansion is not far from the Leopard House, so the two of them can reach their destination in the shortest time.

...

...

Jiao Fang, Zhou Jing and others left one after another, and Chen Xi no longer had to wait any longer.

As the Minister of War and a celebrity in front of the emperor, Chen Xi naturally has some way to meet the saint.

He called Wang Lingzhi over first and asked Wang Lingzhi to show off his weapons. He went directly to the closed leopard room gate with a arrogant aura. Before the guards on duty spoke, he shouted loudly: "If you involve military information at the border, all those who delay military aircraft will be dealt with by military law. Who dares to stop it?"

The guards present were stunned when they heard this. The Secretary of State Chen was unreasonable and began to use the official to scare people.

As palace guards, both of them were very confident and would not lose their courage when they saw the palace husband and marquis, but in front of Shen Xi, these people could not be tough.

Besides, there is a fatal Wang Lingzhi next to it.

Wang Lingzhi's reputation was a good performance in the battle of defense of the capital three years ago. On the other hand, he fought against 30 students one by one before the emperor and Wang Lingzhi's battle, and his reputation spread throughout the palace. These people all knew that the emperor had a high evaluation of Wang Lingzhi.

Chen Xi took out a military memorial from his arms, and then took out a seal from the Minister of War, and stepped forward. Several guards retreated all the way, but were forced by Chen Xi to almost lean against the gate.

"Shangshu Chen, you...you have to respect yourself. You were not allowed to enter before, but now..."

In the eyes of the guards, Chen Xi was helpless and had to threaten people with this attitude. Perhaps he was tired of waiting outside and threatened him before leaving.

Chen Xi sneered: "You are kidding you? Grand Secretary Jiao and Shangshu Zhou were there before. In order to protect His Majesty's majesty, I will not be as knowledgeable as you."

"When Your Majesty decided on the national policy, he gave me the power to behead first and then report. If you don't believe it, you might as well try it! This is the edict of Your Majesty to decide on the national policy. Do you want to listen to it word by word?"

At this moment, Chen Xi was completely brave and fearless. He was facing the guards with swords and spears, and he had no intention of retreating. He held his head and chest up and continued to move forward.

The guards forced them to helplessly: "Shangshu Chen, wait a moment, and I will go in and report it."

Chen Xi was merciless and immediately walked to the spoken guard and pulled out the sword from the guard's waist. The guard was stunned and quickly picked up the spear in his hand and looked at Chen Xi. The situation became even more tense.

Although Chen Xi is a civil servant and does not seem to have the murderous aura of a military general, he has led troops for many years and has the power of a general, which is enough to shock the audience.

Chen Xi said: "I will not lie to you. If I can't see Your Majesty now, I will ask Your Majesty tomorrow morning to dismiss you all for delaying military aircraft. Let you eat wind and sand in the northwest for a few years before I know if I will laugh with you!"

The guards were really scared.

When others say this, it is a scare, but Chen Xi is fully qualified to do so.

The national policy was decided, the military school was held, and the Xuanfu war was well known. Chen Xi said it was done, which was amazing.

Seeing this, the guards looked at each other. Although none of them wanted to open the door, they had to open the door for the sake of the future.

"Shangshu Chen has an emergency military report, open the door!"

The guards at the door finally shouted loudly inside.

The door of the leopard room opened with a "squeaking" sound.

Chen Xi immediately threw the sword back to the guard and took Wang Lingzhi to step into the threshold. Before he could pass the main courtyard, Qian Ning and Zhang Yuan came out. After drinking last night, they rested in the Leopard Room. Before Chen Xi and other ministers were waiting in front of the Leopard Room, both of them knew that even the order that the ministers were not allowed to enter the Leopard Room was still Qian Ning.

"Shangshu Chen, what are you doing? How can you break into the leopard house and the important land? "

Qian Ning came up to block Chen Xi and refused to allow Chen Xi to enter, but Wang Lingzhi stepped forward to block Shen Xi.

When Wang Lingzhi stood there, he was majestic and murderous intent. Qian Ning was so angry that he did not dare to step forward to stop him.

Zhang Yuan came over and his eyes flashed when facing Chen Xi. After all, Chen Xi knew his origin and the two were close uncles and nephews.

Chenxi Road: "There is important military information in Xuanfu, so I came to meet the emperor and report it."

As he spoke, Chen Xi walked inward, but Qian Ning had already called the Jinyiwei to block the moon gate leading to the inner courtyard. In this way, Chen Xi had to enter the room and could only pass through the main hall, but the main hall had been blocked by Qian Ning.

In this way, Chen Xi could only stop and face Qian Ning.

Qian Ning smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, you were extremely smart in the past, and no one could guess what you planned, but this time... your move doesn't seem to be very effective. Although you are stupid, you know that there is no military information coming from Xuanfu now. You are facing the saint with the purpose of suing Wei Bin and Eunuch Wei and taking the military power of the three thousand battalions to you, right?"

Faced with Qian Ning, who was smart, Chen Xi didn't want to talk much nonsense.

Such a villain will not be an obstacle for him in the court for the time being.

Chen Xi looked at Zhang Yuan and asked, "Eunuch Zhang is not in the palace today, why did he appear in the leopard room? Could it be that His Majesty summoned you to accompany him?"

Zhang Yuan didn't expect that Chen Xi was targeting him. When Na Na didn't know what to say, Qian Ning wanted to help him, but Chen Xi said, "Today, the Queen Mother Shouning and Shangshu Xie suggested resigning Eunuch Wei. The Queen Mother has agreed. The responsibility of the three thousand battalions of the generals has fallen on you, Eunuch Zhang. I'm afraid that everyone in the palace is looking for you, Eunuch Zhang, but you don't want Eunuch Zhang to be in the leopard room."

"ah?"
