Zhang Yuan soon met Zhu Houzhao.

This time, it was not Zhang Yuan who took the initiative to ask for a meeting, but was summoned. Therefore, Zhang Yuan looked nervous and his heart beat faster, for fear that Zhu Houzhao would be embarrassed.

"... Have you handled everything about Silijian? Is there nothing missing?"

Zhu Houzhao's tone was tempted, and she suspected that Zhang Yuan had the intention of lying.

Zhang Yuan was worried and answered carefully: "Reply to Your Majesty, I have reviewed all the accumulated memorials. The six ministries and local governments began to follow the implementation. Nothing happened yet."

"Um."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhang Yuan's statement, and then asked, "The basic national policy I proposed should be completely pacified next year. I guess the army will be sent after the spring of next year. Are the food and weapons ready?"

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he was as big as a fight and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, this is the matter of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works, and it is not within the scope of the responsibilities of the slaves."

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Did the Ministry of War not submitting a memorial and report the specific number?"

Zhang Yuan thought about it carefully and seemed to remember that he had indeed read similar memorials. At that time, he noticed that Chen Xi was published in the name of the Minister of War, but because he had to review so many memorials in the past few days, he didn't care about so many, and he didn't know the details of them.

"Your Majesty...reported..."

Zhang Yuan dared not hide it. After all, Zhu Houzhao had already asked in person, so he must know the inside story. If he lies, he will bear some responsibility.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Then you said this matter has nothing to do with you? How many numbers were reported by the Ministry of War at that time, how did the cabinet vote, and how did you finally approve it? Let me explain it clearly once!"

Zhang Yuan's cold sweat suddenly flowed out. For him, it was like a big test of his life. Outsiders like him knew nothing about handling state affairs. Even old ministers who had been officials for decades had to enter the cabinet and needed someone to guide and cultivate it, and it still took a long time to adapt.

Although Zhang Yuan used to be the eunuch who wrote a pen, he did not give him the opportunity to go to the Sili Supervisory Commission for investigation because of his abusing power. Now no one teaches him, so he can only cross the river by feeling the stones. It is good to deal with the matter hastily. It involves details and has no idea how to deal with it.

"Um……"

Zhang Yuan thought intently and recalled the memorial with all his might, but he couldn't remember the contents of it no matter how he thought about it. He even forgot how he criticized it.

"Bang!"

Zhu Houzhao slapped the table suddenly and shouted, "This is what you call handling? Are you treating me as an idiot? Or are you an idiot yourself?"

Zhang Yuan knelt on the ground with a "thump" and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I have indeed reviewed it. At that time, I replied according to the cabinet ticket. Because the time is too tight and the cabinet has too many memorials that have been accumulated in the cabinet need to be dealt with. I don't remember the content for a while. Can I allow me to go back and check it?"

Zhu Houzhao stopped talking for a moment. The scene was extremely quiet and the atmosphere was a little cold. Zhang Yuan shivered while sweating.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Maybe I asked you to take on important tasks, which makes it difficult for you. With your ability, it's okay to be a close servant by my side who is careless. Let you deal with state affairs...huh."

Zhang Yuan heard the disappointment in Zhu Houzhao's words and quickly bowed to the ground and asked: "Your Majesty, even if I devote myself to my work, I will never let you down. Just... please give me some time..."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "It's been half a month now, right? With half a month left, you'd better get everything done."

“Yes, yes!”

Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that he had hope of keeping his job and agreed repeatedly.

Zhu Houzhao was inexplicably angry: "What are you doing when you are kneeling here? I asked you about it, hurry up and find out. Do you want me to go to the Lijian Supervisor to find the memorial in person? If you are still confused in the end, you don't have to do this job anymore. I will punish you to guard the imperial tomb!"

"I'll go now!"

Zhang Yuan quickly got up from the ground, hurried out of the leopard room, and headed towards the palace.

After Zhang Yuan left, Zhu Houzhao was still angry and walked out from behind the curtain.

When Xiao Guozi saw Zhu Houzhao, he spoke carefully: "Your Majesty, the empresses have finished washing and dressing up, waiting to watch the Southern Opera with you, and send the young man to report..."

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Okay, I understand... Zhang Yuan's dog slave is so angry!"

Xiao Guozi secretly felt happy that if Zhang Yuan, the temporary seal of the Sili Supervisor, failed, Zhu Houzhao would definitely choose another person. With Zhu Houzhao's style of promoting young people, he had the chance to become the boss's seal of the Sili Supervisor.

Xiao Taozi persuaded: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Eunuch Zhang is in charge of the rituals and rituals. There must be many things that have not been figured out yet. Why not give him some time."

"When is it given?"

Zhu Houzhao said angrily, "Is Silijian a place for him to learn and grow slowly? He now wants to help me manage the government affairs, but look at him like this, I don't know what he asks! Well, I don't want to mention this matter anymore. You don't have to go to the inner house to serve you. Go back to the palace and watch over the Silijian. I will come back to notify you as soon as possible... What I want to ask, no matter how late I need to know..."

...

...

Xiao Guozi doesn't plan to help Zhang Yuan.

However, Zhu Houzhao's instructions could only obey unconditionally. He immediately rushed into the palace and arrived at the Silijian. Before he could enter, he saw lights and shaking figures reflected on the window paper.

“It’s really busy…”

Xiao Tiaozi felt extremely proud.

When he pushed the door open, he heard Zhang Yuan shouting there: "Look for it quickly. Just among the approved memorials, you must find out the memorials of the Ministry of War. If you can't find them, you will behead them all!"

Xiao Tiaozi said, "Can Eunuch Zhang be there?"

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he turned around and saw that it was Xiao Tiaozi, and he felt angry. Although Xiao Tiaozi was a popular person in front of Zhu Houzhao, he did not dare to offend him before, but now, relying on his identity as the chief of the Sili Supervisor, he saw that Xiao Tiaozi had lost his previous respect and glared: "Duang, you are so brave. Do you dare to trek in the Sili Supervisor? Do you believe it or not..."

Xiao Zhuozi sneered: "Would Eunuch Zhang still abuse lynching our family? Our family came by the emperor's order!"

Zhang Yuan's body suddenly shivered and suddenly realized that he was just a paper tiger, and even Xiao Twist had more confidence in speaking than him.

Zhang Yuan had a dark face and tried to lower his voice: "What did Your Majesty ask you to do?"

"Your Majesty said that the matter he is going to ask, no matter how late it is today, we will report it and send our family to watch Eunuch Zhang. If you are not good at doing things... Humph, can Eunuch Zhang know the outcome?" Xiao Tiaozi said arrogantly.

Zhang Yuan was scared, but he soon thought of someone who could help him.

"This matter was reported by the Ministry of War. No matter how Your Majesty knows it, as long as I ask my eldest nephew, all the problems will be solved?"

Zhang Yuan immediately regained his confidence and said flatteringly: "My dear brother-in-law is waiting here first. Our family has gone to do business. I believe it will be done soon. I will go to see the saint with you at that time!"

"Okay, you go!"

Xiao Tiaozi didn't want to pay attention to what Zhang Yuan did at all. He waved his hand and sat on the Taishi chair in the middle of the house, crossing his legs, looking extremely proud.

Zhang Yuanxin said, "You boy is waiting. I will go out of the palace to see my eldest nephew. After I have finished the matter, I will go to see Your Majesty... Your Majesty asked me where you are, and I said you are a wanderer. No one will be seen when you return to the palace, and I don't know what to do!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan quickly walked into the Sili Supervisor's printing room next door, then went out from the back door and headed straight to the Meridian Gate.

...

...

After nightfall, the capital was peaceful.

Zhang Yuan sat in the carriage, thinking about how to speak after seeing Chen Xi.

"...My big nephew has a very stubborn temper. Last time I saw that my attitude was a little bad, and there was a dirty word in my words. This kid seemed to be holding a grudge... This time I came to the door and didn't apologize to him, can he help me if he didn't apologize?"

"It's okay to apologize. I'm afraid that this kid will become more arrogant and will not take my uncle seriously at all, but what should I do?"

Zhang Yuan was very worried. When he arrived in front of the Shen Mansion, he asked someone to go up and knock on the door.

Soon Zhu Qi came out and saw that it was Zhang Yuan. He was very curious: "Your Excellency... did you come from the palace?"

"Why, don't you know our family?"

Zhang Yuan was very annoyed and shouted, "Our family is the chief of the Sili Supervisor Zhang Yuan, and I came to the mansion to visit you Shangshu Chen... Let our family go in!"

Zhu Qi was confused. He knew something about the officialdom, but he was not very clear about what the Sili Supervisor seal did. However, he understood this person who was a big shot in the palace.

"Dadfather-in-law, Rong Xiao will come in and report it!"

Just as Zhang Yuan was about to lose his temper, the door closed again with a slam. Zhang Yuan stood there, not understanding what was going on: "I am the chief magistrate of the rituals and seals, and even the disciple of the Shangshu Mansion dared to disrespect me?"

After a long time, Zhu Qi came out and nodded and said, "Please forgive me, this father-in-law. The master is not in the mansion today, so..."

"What do you mean? Not in the mansion? Where can he go? Could it be that he is hiding from our house, right? Our family came by the emperor's order!"

Zhang Yuan could only move Emperor Zhengde as his amulet.

Zhu Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you were sent by His Majesty, the master is really not in the mansion, why don't you... go to the Ministry of War's Office to check it out? Or the Military Academy, please go back anyway..."

After Zhu Qi finished speaking this time, he stopped talking nonsense to Zhang Yuan and closed the door again.

"You, a killer, dare you be disrespectful to our family. Do you believe it or not, our family will kill you?" Zhang Yuan yelled at the door.

The attendant who followed was a little embarrassed, and the leader bowed and said, "Dad, Lord Shen's mansion must not be able to fabricate the facts casually. Since he said that, Lord Shen must not be in the mansion. You should hurry up and search for the place where Lord Shen often goes."

"We are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we are so angry that we

Zhang Yuan was almost pulled away from the gate of Shen Mansion by his servants.

After Zhang Yuan got on the carriage, a head was poked out from the nearby alley. After confirming the reason, the man quickly rode the horse tied to the nearby yard and passed the message out as soon as possible. A special person would notify Chen Xi.

...

...

Chen Xi was not in the mansion or Hui Niang's place that day, but stayed in Yunliu's courtyard.

Chen Xi learned about Zhang Yuan visiting the mansion in his sleep.

"Master, Eunuch Zhang said that the emperor's order is in his mouth, but he did not come directly from the leopard room to Shen Mansion, but went to the palace first and then came out of the palace... Your Majesty has been staying in the leopard room and never leaving. What Eunuch Zhang said is untrue, but he should have important matters before he would come to visit the door late at night..."

Because his subordinates investigated them very comprehensively, Yunliu and even Zhang Yuan came from clearly where they came from.

Chen Xi sorted out his thoughts and said, "He came to me suddenly. It must be that something went wrong with the errand. The errand assigned to him by His Majesty cannot complete it, so he can only ask me for help."

"Did the master see him?" Yun Liu asked for instructions.

Chen Xi asked, "Where have others gone now?"
