Liu Jin was inspired by Sun Cong's proposal.

We should use non-existent things to prevent Zhu Houzhao from going to Xuanfu, so as to avoid the meeting between Chen Xi and Zhu Houzhao.

After thinking about it over and over again, Liu Jin made a decision.

When Zhu Houzhao woke up in the afternoon, Liu Jin went to the leopard room to face the saint. After entering, Zhu Houzhao had already asked someone to pack up his things, and the four treasures of the study placed on the desk were ready to take them to Xuanfu.

Liu Jin thought to himself: "Your Majesty is not a place to visit, you just want to live in Xuanfu for a long time."

"Your Majesty." Liu Jin stepped forward to greet him.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Eunuch Liu? You are here just in time. I am just looking for you. How are the car drivers ready? By the way, I will arrange some escorts to the escorts. There are not too many. I may take them to Xuanfu first. The guards on the Zhijun will mainly escort the people I brought to Xuanfu..."

Liu Jin had known for a long time that Zhu Houzhao liked to take risks, and Liu Jin was no longer surprised that he wanted to go to Xuanfu first without guards.

Liu Jin said: "Your Majesty, the car is ready, but... there is a little problem now, but I wonder if Your Majesty will follow the plan?"

“What’s the situation?”

Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

Liu Jin thought to himself, even if you are the emperor, you have no eyes and ears and no knowledge of anything outside the leopard room. Isn’t it just my words?

After sorting out his thoughts, Liu Jin said: "Reply to Your Majesty, I just got the news that Xuanfu is in a bad state..."

He thought it was very simple. Zhu Houzhao would have dispelled the unreliable idea whenever there was any situation in Xuanfu or the road was dangerous.

Who knew that when Zhu Houzhao heard this, his eyes immediately widened, raised his hand to interrupt Liu Jin, and asked excitedly: "Is this really the case? It just so happened that I was going to Xuanfu. It was not in line with my wishes? I had thought about fighting side by side with Shangshu Chen and having a hearty battle with the Tartars!"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was frightened. Although Zhu Houzhao said this and did not surprise him, he felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

"Your Majesty, you...can't take risks. Why don't you let the soldiers of Xuanfu relieve the crisis first. Your Majesty, you go? After all, the Xuanfu Palace has not started construction yet!"

Liu Jin tried every means to dissuade Zhu Houzhao, but he found that nothing he said would work.

Zhu Houzhao lifted her sleeves and said enthusiastically: "You don't have to worry about my affairs. After I leave the capital, you will assist the cabinet in handling the matters in the capital and wait for my triumphant return... Haha, then I will be the emperor of the ages!"

Liu Jin complained secretly, thinking: "No, this trick is not easy to use, so I can only think of other ways quickly." So he pretended to be sad again:

"Your Majesty, I just got the news from Qian Qianhu from Liaodong that he was living up to his trust, Mrs. Zhong... should arrive in the capital in the past few days."

"Yeah?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes instantly became enthusiastic. She put down her sleeves and walked quickly to Liu Jin, looking up and down, as if she was looking for whether the old eunuch in front of her was deceiving him.

Liu Jin finally felt relieved in his heart and said without changing his face: "Your Majesty, that's right, Qian Qianhu devoted all his efforts to Your Majesty in Liaodong..."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and sighed: "I finally failed my expectations for him. It would be best if I could get someone back. As for Mrs. Zhong... let's stay in the capital first. I have to go to Xuanfu first and fight against the ignorant Tartars... I cannot delay military and national affairs for my children's personal affair!"

When Liu Jin heard this, his stomach was almost furious.

Why don’t you listen to this naughty child?

When you are greedy for your children's love, you hide in the gentle land every day and live a drunken dream. Now, let you cooperate a little, and you actually pretend to be a wise lord with me?

Liu Jin hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, are you waiting for Mrs. Zhong to come? You have been thinking about her day and night... Mrs. Zhong finally found her, and even the old slave is happy for you."

Zhu Houzhao's face was gloomy: "If she came back voluntarily, I would be happy, but now it was obviously tied back by Qian Ning. Do you think I can be happy? This matter is still shameful. If others know about it, they will definitely criticize me... It just so happened that I went to Xuanfu, and the court officials would follow me at that time, so no one would care if Mrs. Zhong returned to Beijing."

Liu Jin thought to himself: "Hey, why can't even even nine cows be pulled back? He is obviously a shameless person, but now he says he wants to think about his reputation. Who believes it?"

Liu Jin was smart and his eyes rolled around, and immediately came up with an idea: "Your Majesty, Xuanfu was not invaded by the Tatars. If you go... I'm afraid you won't have the chance to lead the troops to fight."

"Um!?"

Zhu Houzhao frowned, stared at Liu Jin's eyes, and asked, "What do you mean? Didn't you say that Xuanfu was in a bad state?"

Liu Jin said: "Your Majesty, I mean the place is not stable, but I didn't say that the Tartars attacked the border... Do you think, their envoys are in the capital. Isn't it killing their own people at this time? It's... there is a rebellion in the place..."

"What? Local rebellion?" Zhu Houzhao felt unhappy now.

Liu Jin took the opportunity to snatch the shit basin on Shen Xi and said, "Your Majesty, this is the case. It is said that the Xuanfu place has caused civil unrest, which is because Shen Shangshu implemented a series of reform measures after taking office. Your Majesty, you also know that Shen Shangshu likes to mess around wherever he goes, and has not even reported the matter to block the news..."

Liu Jin spoke vividly, as if this was really the case.

After saying that, Liu Jin took a breath and thought to himself: "I'm saying so detailed and specific. It seems that Your Majesty won't teach Shen Zhihou a good lesson this time!"

Zhu Houzhao's face looked unexpected. He lived in the leopard house and was not aware of what was happening outside. Liu Jin said whatever Liu Jin said. In fact, just think about it, Shen Xi had only been in Xuanfu for a few days. I guess he had not even sat in his butt, so where could he have time to implement reforms? Liu Jin just bullied Zhu Houzhao and did not understand anything, so he dared to speak nonsense.

"You said that Shangshu Shen blocked the news, how did you know?"

Liu Jin had already thought of a response and said, "It was Yang Wu, the governor of Xuanfu. He submitted a memorial to report that Shen Shangshu violated the law and discipline in Xuanfu... But the old slave thought of His Majesty's trust in Shangshu, and suspected that Yang Wu might have spread rumors and caused trouble, so he did not dare to report to His Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao returned to the desk, sat down, stroked her chin and closed her eyes and pondered.

After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Liu Jin: "If the situation in Xuanfu is really as you said, then I really don't have to rush to go, and things can be temporarily suspended."

Liu Jin was secretly proud and thought to himself: "Even if you are the stones in the thatched cottage are smelly and hard, will I still convince you? I still can't understand your thoughts when I watched you grow up?"

Before, Liu Jin was extremely respectful to Zhu Houzhao, and he had never had any disrespect in his heart, but now it is different. With the expansion of power in his hands, and with the faction of the six ministries of the court and the temple officials who were mostly controlled by him, Liu Jin felt that his wings were hard, especially Zhu Houzhao's protection of Shen Xi and civil officials made him feel dissatisfied with Zhu Houzhao as a puppet.

Liu Jin took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, you have to deal with this matter properly. Although the local civil war in Xuanfu will soon be quelled by Shangshu Chen, this is clearly a foundation for our Ming Dynasty. If Your Majesty indulges, it may be just a small civil war, and it will turn into a big disaster in the future..."

Liu Jin spared no effort to say bad things about Chen Xi, his ideas were simple and rough.

The civil unrest has never stood the scrutiny. Now Zhu Houzhao believes that he is making suggestions, but if he asks someone in the future, he may be exposed.

It would be better to say that this civil rebellion is not so serious, and turn around and say that Chen Xi sent troops to suppress it, and then falsely accused and concealed it and did not report it...

Even if you finally find that everything is false, you can still push things to Yang Wu. Anyway, he has some ways to deceive Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand impatiently: "I was already preparing to go to Xuanfu, but now I have caused this incident. I feel very unhappy. Eunuch Liu, you have investigated the civil war clearly. As you said, maybe the Xuanfu is dissatisfied with Shangshu Chen and deliberately framed him?"

"As for Mrs. Zhong... I'll wait for her for a few days. If you have any news from Qian Ning, you will get it right away. I'll see what's going on."

“Yes, yes!”

Liu Jin was secretly grateful while rejoicing.

At the same time, he was a little worried.

He didn't care that the rumor that the local civil war in Xuanfu would be exposed. He believed that no one dared to talk nonsense in front of the emperor. He was afraid that there would be no news from Mrs. Zhong for a long time, which made Zhu Houzhao suspicious.

Liu Jin secretly annoyed: "If I had known, I wouldn't have talked about Mrs. Zhong's affairs. I don't know how much trouble it will cause... If Qian wouldn't bring the person back in time, wouldn't I take the blame?"

Just as Liu Jin was about to leave, Xiao Tiaozi came in and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have done all the things you have told me, and I will pack all the things and can be loaded into the car today..."

Zhu Houzhao was there thinking about something but didn't reply. Liu Jin stared at him and shouted angrily: "What car is loading? Your Majesty will not go to Xuanfu, so he will continue to order everything, and everything will be left to you."

Xiao Twist became nervous when he heard this.

Unlike Liu Jin's idea, Xiao Guozi was very supportive of Zhu Houzhao's visit to Xuanfu, so that he could leave Beijing with him and avoid being persecuted by Liu Jin.

Xiao Guozi really hoped that Zhu Houzhao would meet Chen Xi and even joined forces to deal with Liu Jin, the eunuch party leader, but now Zhu Houzhao would accept whatever Liu Jin said, and now even the decided things will be temporarily changed.

Zhu Houzhao came back to her senses and looked up and instructed: "That's right, I won't go to Xuanfu. Things will be slow for the time being. Pack up the things and go to Hua Fei's place to notify me... Although I won't go to Xuanfu, I will still spend the night at her tonight and let her prepare for the welcome..."

"yes!"

Xiao Taozi complained in his heart and did not dare to stay for too long. He lowered his head and hurriedly retreated to avoid being disgusted by Liu Jin.

Now he is the person who talks about Liu Jin the most bad things in front of Zhu Houzhao. Xiao Taozi naturally felt guilty when he saw Liu Jin.

After Xiao Tiaozi stepped down, Liu Jin was a little surprised: "Why did this kid panic when he saw me? Did he have any ulterior motives? It would be logical that his Majesty went to Xuanfu and it had nothing to do with him. Could he have deceived me if he had anything to do?"

Zhu Hou took care of Liu Jin: "Eunuch Liu, why are you still here? Hurry up and sort out what I want to know and send it over. A Mrs. Zhong and a local civil war in Xuanfu, I will submit a detailed report. I don't want to be deceived!"

...

...

In order to let Zhu Houzhao stay in the capital, Liu Jin told a lot of lies. For this reason, he had to go home to find his followers to explain clearly, so as not to be speechless by Zhu Houzhao's questioning.

Liu Jin called the Minister of Personnel, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue. Zhang Cai, Cao Yuan and Liu Ji were all his people. In order to prevent the situation from being different from what his subordinates said, he had to say hello.

"...You must remember it. Our family told Your Majesty that there was chaos in Xuanfu, which was caused by Shen Zhihou's forced politics after taking office. This matter was submitted by Yang Wu, the governor of Xuanfu. Our family will send someone to say hello to Yang Wu. You don't have to worry about it, you just insist that such a thing is... "

Zhang Cai and others were frightened when they heard this.

There was chaos in the Huanghuai area, which lasted from last winter until now, and no one reported it.

The Xuanfu was originally peaceful, and even the Tatars retreated honestly. As a result, Liu Jin insisted on causing chaos in the people to disturb the audio-visual.

After Liu Jin finished his order, Liu Ji asked for instructions: "I wonder what else do you need me to do in addition to asking me to submit the report according to what you said?"

Liu Jin said: "If you want to remind us, do you have no evidence or the public will not be heard by others. How can Your Majesty believe it? After you go back, you will create some news, not only will Your Majesty believe it, but even the people in the court must believe it as true..."

Liu Jin made such an excessive request, the most difficult one was Cao Yuan, the Minister of War.

Cao Yuan replaced Shen Xi, which seemed to be popular, but in fact he was under great pressure.

When Shen Xi was appointed as the Minister of War, there were many attacks, believing that Shen Xi was young and energetic and lacked qualifications. However, in fact, under the governance of Shen Xi, the Ministry of War could be said to be coordinated and united, and handled military affairs in an orderly manner.

After Cao Yuan took office, he lived under the shadow of Shen Xi, and everyone compared him with his ex-His ex Shen Xi, but the result was that Cao Yuan was too mediocre.

Coupled with Cao Yuan's identity as an eunuch, he had difficulty in doing things in the Ministry of War. Many of the things he told him were slanderous, which made him feel angry.

This time, Liu Jin said that he wanted to create some situations artificially, and the first thing he could do was the Ministry of War. After all, the Ministry of War was responsible for marching and fighting. If there was a rebellion in the local area, the Ministry of War would need to report the situation truthfully.

When Cao Yuan found out that he was being looked at by everyone, he bowed to Liu Jin nervously: "Father-in-law, please give me some advice on this matter."

Liu Jin heard this for no reason, thinking that Cao Yuan didn't want to do his job for him, so he immediately looked stern: "Mr. Cao, we don't understand what you said, and you still need some advice from our company to do things? Don't forget that your current errands are given by our company. Our company can not only make you successful, but also make you doomed. What kind of pretending... Humph!"

Cao Yuan looked unfair: "My father-in-law misunderstood. I really don't know how to create public opinion, so I asked my father-in-law to make public announcements. Of course, I am willing to drive for my father-in-law."
