Zhang Yuan and Sima Zhenren came out of the Ganqing Palace bedroom. Sima Zhenren was still complacent and felt that he was going to develop, but he heard Zhang Yuan beside him say in a sarcastic tone: "The real person is the real person, and even the lies are said the same as the real one."

Sima Zhenren's face changed instantly, and he stared at Zhang Yuan fiercely and asked, "Why did Eunuch Zhang say this?"

Zhang Yuan faced Sima Zhenren's glare without fear and sneered: "Your Majesty doesn't know, you don't know either? The elixirs you mentioned are simply deceiving the priest. There are no magic pills in this world, and even the formula is carefully designed to deceive Your Majesty... As for the medicinal materials you mentioned, they are also deceiving Your Majesty, but I hope Your Majesty gives you permission to make money in the place."

When Sima Zhenren heard this, he was very nervous and even his voice trembled: "Eunuch Zhang, I will do my best to do my best to do things for Your Majesty. You... don't slander people."

Zhang Yuan seemed very confident: "It's not true or false, and it's not true... But don't worry, our family is deliberately trying to expose your words, why did they speak for you before?"

When Sima Zhenren thought that this was indeed the case, he breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then he thought that Zhang Yuan must have coerced him to do something.

"This Zhang Yuan is not simple. After Liu Jin left the capital, he was favored by the holy people. Now the inner treasury, the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the East Factory are under his jurisdiction. He speaks so well in front of His Majesty... He can't be punished!"

Sima Zhenren said, "Eunuch Zhang, you can't say this randomly... I am indeed looking for elixirs for Your Majesty to prolong your life. Your Majesty believes in this. Do you say this mean that Your Majesty does not understand people?"

Zhang Yuan sneered: "If you don't believe our family, then we will go in and tell Your Majesty that your pills are purely refined by folk aphrodisiac drugs?"

"you!"

Zhenren Sima didn't expect Zhang Yuan to understand these things.

"No, these eunuchs are simply inhumane. They have lived in the palace for a long time and rarely come into contact with the outside world. Even if they know that there are tiger and wolf medicines among the people, they will not ask about the specific shape and efficacy. How could he know this?"

After he looked at Zhang Yuan carefully, he finally understood... He had heard people say that Zhang Yuan entered the palace only after he became an adult, lived in the market for many years, and was very familiar with folk affairs.

Sima Zhenren shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The folk rumors are really not worth mentioning."

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes: "Is it worth mentioning? Or is it more direct to tell His Majesty..." After saying that, he really wanted to turn back to the bedroom, but was intercepted by Sima Zhenren.

Sima Zhenren smiled and said, "Why is Eunuch Zhang? Some things, although this is not the case, if Eunuch Zhang insists on saying this, it is hard to guarantee that Your Majesty will not think about this... Does Your Majesty think that ordinary aphrodisiacs can be praised so much? Your Majesty has personally understood the efficacy of the elixir..."

"I'm still trying to argue..." Zhang Yuan was a little annoyed.

Sima Zhenren waved his hand: "Eunuch Zhang, please calm down. Let's talk about it carefully. If you have been in the palace for some time, but you have not given you some filial pills. Why not prepare a few elixirs for you... Ah, pus, pus, are you preparing some gifts for you?"

When Zhang Yuan heard the pill to strengthen his aphrodisiac, he was furious immediately. However, when he heard Sima Zhenren's words, his complexion finally improved a little, and he immediately sneered: "You know your identity, and you will benefit the two families, so that our family will help you in the future!"

Even if Sima Zhenren was reluctant, he knew that it was necessary to bow his head at this time. After all, Zhang Yuan was in power around the emperor now. If he could not curry favor with Zhang Yuan and let him say bad things about him in front of the emperor, he would not have the opportunity to make money. If someone found out that he was a fake Taoist priest, it would be hard to say whether he had a life or not. After all, Emperor Hongzhi's death was inseparable from him.

After discussing the gift giving with Zhang Yuan, Sima Zhenren was still muttering in his heart: "This Zhang Yuan is more greedy than Liu Jin, but this person does not have the power and ability of Liu Jin. I am really unwilling to submit to him now. If Liu Jin returns to the court, maybe my life will be better, and then who may give who will be given money. Liu Jin is more greedy than me. If I am favored by His Majesty, he needs to curry favor with me."

Thinking of this, Sima Zhenren became more and more disliked Zhang Yuan, and was already thinking about how to help Liu Jin return to Beijing.

Zhang Yuan was full of complacent ambition. A Taoist priest who was favored by the emperor actually wanted to give him gifts, and he had to pay 50% of the money he earned from going out for business operations. No matter how he thought about it, he felt satisfied.

After going to the Jinyiwei Yamen to explain the matter, Zhang Yuan still thought when he returned: "A few more greedy people like Sima Zhenren, wouldn't I be able to make a fortune even if I sit on the ground? Haha!"

...

...

After Zhu Houzhao fell asleep, she ignored the matters next to her and slept hard. Zhang Yuan entered the bedroom twice and tried to wake Zhu Houzhao up, but Zhu Houzhao turned a blind eye. It was useless to do it in a hurry.

Seeing that it was already past Wu Dynasty, Zhang Yuan could only instruct the deacon and eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace to go to Fengtian Palace to inform the civil and military ministers that the emperor had important things to do and it would take a while before he could pass.

Zhang Yuanxin said, "When Your Majesty falls asleep, who will disturb him means who will be punished, and who will be unlucky?"

Just when Zhang Yuan was anxious, Qian Ning suddenly appeared outside the bedroom of Qianqing Palace. Zhang Yuan looked at Qian Ning who was looking around and asked, "Why are you here?"

Qian Ning said: "Your Majesty is going to be in the afternoon today and I ordered you to accompany me, but after waiting for a while at Fengtian Palace, I didn't see Your Majesty coming out, so I could only come and take a look."

Zhang Yuan frowned: "Your Majesty is resting. If you feel you can't wait any longer, you can go in and wake up Your Majesty."

Qian Ning shuddered.

What kind of temper will Zhu Houzhao get after being woken up by someone, but others don’t know it, but he knows very well. Zhu Houzhao is often prone to getting angry, and once the anger arises, it is impossible for his relatives to see who beats whom.

"Isn't this a difficult person for Eunuch Zhang? You and I don't know about Your Majesty's situation. Since Your Majesty has not yet woken up, then we will wait first and accompany Your Majesty to Fengtian Palace when His Majesty wakes up!" Qian Ning said with a smile.

Zhang Yuan felt a little unhappy. Qian Ning in front of him seemed to have no ability, so he just relied on giving his wife and asking for favor to gain his current position, which made him very angry.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Yuan said, "It is not a solution to wait here. You always need to find someone to wake up Your Majesty. It is better to find a little eunuch to come here casually. It is best to be the kind of ignorant one. Your Majesty will punish you, as long as you and I are fine!"

Qian Ning gave a thumbs up: "Eunuch Zhang has a clever plan, but who to send, I'm afraid you'll ask Eunuch Zhang to arrange it. I'm not very clear about the matter in this palace..."

"Useless stuff!"

Zhang Yuan cursed angrily, which immediately made Qian Ning's face dark, but Zhang Yuan turned his head and said, "I knew that everything depends on our family. Your Majesty said it was right before. He kept a bunch of wine bags just to keep it for the sake of eating shit?"

...

...

In Fengtian Hall, the ministers were waiting to meet the saint.

The ministers who could come were basically here, and there were much more people than the day before yesterday. Because the war reports of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army arrived one after another, the victory of Xuanfu is no longer a secret.

But this wait took more than an hour and there was no sign of Zhu Houzhao.

Someone came to Xie Qian and complained: "...Xie Shaofu, this is yours. Since Your Majesty has not returned to the palace, wouldn't it be better for me to wait for Wenhua Palace? At least there is tea service there, and I can still sit there. Why should I wait here? I don't know when His Majesty will appear..."

Even the ministers who were young and strong in the country had their opinions, not to mention the old and weak, because these people were about the same age as Xie Qian, and many of them were even older than Xie Qian, so they didn't have so much scruples when speaking, and even had a sense of blame.

Xie Qian asked angrily: "Is it because I asked you to wait here? Your Majesty had returned to the palace early in the morning. As for why he didn't come on time, you can only ask yourself after His Majesty comes out... Who doesn't want to wait? You can go back to Wenhua Palace, I will never stop you!"

Zhou Jing has been with Xie Qian since last night. Seeing that Xie Qian was not good at his attitude, he quickly advised: "Yu Qiao, please calm down. Are you all waiting? Your Majesty guess there is something else. Didn't anyone send out to notify me before?"

Liu Ji, the Minister of Revenue, stepped out and frowned and asked, "Have you ever said about the afternoon court before? Today I will come, may I have a vain trip in the end?"

Xie Qian had already hated a member of the eunuch party like Liu Ji, and he became even more angry when he heard this and said at the top of his voice: "Is it because I was lying to you?"

Because his words were very imposing, the scene was silent, and even Liu Ji, who had previously questioned, kept his mouth shut.

Shen Xi looked around and couldn't help but think: "Although Mr. Xie is usually like a dough stick, he still has prestige in the court. This sentence makes Fengtian Palace quiet, and it will be as effective as the emperor's words!"

As the person involved in the Xuanfu Good News, Shen Xi looked calm, as if this Wu Chao had little to do with him. However, from time to time, people came to ask him about the detailed battle report, even the eunuch party was no exception. Obviously, they were more concerned about whether the good news was a false report, and when will Liu Jin return to the court? Of course, these people would not speak so bluntly, but just asked when the army would be triumphant?

Shen Xi answered ambiguously. Whenever someone asked him a question, Xie Qian would come over to drive him away. At this time, Xie Qian was like a plague god. Whether he was a member of the eunuch party, a Chinese civil servant, a general, or a nobleman, he was very afraid of him. On the contrary, Zhou Jing had been standing next to Xie Qian and could talk to him.

Shen Xi looked towards the direction of Qianqing Palace and thought to himself: "That boy Zhu Houzhao has probably overslept... so are those close servants. Since they know that there is noon today, how can they let him sleep after they come back? Even if they fall asleep, they should wake up! These close servants have their own thoughts, and none of them really care about the court, but this kid trusts these people very much!"

Shen Xi sighed and looked out, but there was no movement, and the disappointment in his heart gradually accumulated.

Alas, this short-lived ghost Zhu Houzhao wanted to cultivate him well, but unfortunately he was powerless.

...

...

Until the sun sets, Zhu Houzhao is still snoring loudly in her bedroom.

Zhang Yuan sent the eunuchs in several times, but these eunuchs were not fools, and no one dared to disturb the Holy Lord.

These little eunuchs knelt in front of Zhu Houzhao's dragon couch. After Zhang Yuan went in and saw this, he could not punch and kick these disobedient little eunuchs, so he could only stare at them. He did not dare to stay inside. If he woke Zhu Houzhao up and was present, he would definitely be the one who was punished.

Finally, I don’t know if Zhu Houzhao was thirsty, or if I turned over and found that the sound of breathing around was too loud and I felt something was wrong.

When Zhu Houzhao opened her eyes, she found that there were more than a dozen eunuchs kneeling respectfully in front of the dragon couch, and she didn't understand what was going on for a moment.

"Come!Come!"

Zhu Hou couldn't take care of her and continued to sleep with her head covered, and immediately started shouting.

Zhang Yuan waited for a while and waited for a while. Hearing Yan trotted in all the way, Qian Ning was still following behind him, but Qian Ning didn't dare to step into the place where the emperor was sleeping casually, but he just hid outside the door and looked inside. Unfortunately, he couldn't see the situation inside through the two curtains.

"Your Majesty, you are awake." After Zhang Yuan walked in, he found Zhu Houzhao staring at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, and suddenly felt that the disaster was coming.

Zhu Houzhao pointed to the row of kowtows below and asked, "Zhang Yuan, what's going on? Why did so many people kneel when I woke up?"

Zhang Yuan said bitterly: "Your Majesty, you have told me that Wu Dynasty is important and you need to wake you up, but you have not woken up until now... Now, there are a few groups of people sent in to call you."

Zhu Houzhao was very annoyed. She lifted the quilt, fell to the ground with her feet, and complained: "Didn't you ask you to come and call me in person? Why didn't I wake me up... When did it take?"

Zhang Yuan swallowed and stuttered: "I'm afraid... it's going to be dark."

Zhu Houzhao coughed repeatedly, waved her fist and was about to greet Zhang Yuan. Suddenly, she found someone swaying at the door of the bedroom. She immediately shouted: "Who is sneaking there?"

Qian Ning's voice came from outside immediately: "Your Majesty, you are a humble minister."

"Everyone is not serious... Qian Ning, since you are here, you should wake me up... I also said I want to go to Wu Dynasty. Those ministers have been waiting for a while, right?"

Zhu Houzhao's face shook her head and said with a hint of regret.

Zhang Yuanxin said, "More than a moment, these people arrived in the first half. As for the waiting time in Wenhua Palace, I am afraid it will take three hours to go up."

Some words can only be thought about in my heart, but not made clear.

Zhu Houzhao put clothes on her body directly, Zhang Yuan waved his hand and shouted, "I don't have any eyesight. Why don't you servants go and help His Majesty change his clothes?"

"What are you helping? Are I helpless?"

Zhu Houzhao was in a hurry to put on her clothes, Qian Ning walked in with his head down and persuaded: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be too anxious. Since you are already late, you don't have to hurry at this moment!"

"Hey!"

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and it was really the case.

Then Zhu Houzhao's dressing speed slowed down and said, "It's reasonable. Since it's too late, why are I still anxious? Let's go first and notify the civil and military ministers, and say that I will go there a little later... Qian Ning, go, Zhang Yuan stays to serve, I will go there later, you will be by your side... By the way, I'm a little hungry, eat something to put my stomach on!"

Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "You, the emperor, are really arbitrary. You leave the ministers in the court without caring about it. You don't say anything about it all day, and you have to eat first when you wake up. What do those ministers think? Those ministers have not even had a saliva since the morning!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and shouted, "What are you doing? Go and prepare meals for me!"
