The process of going to the Leopard Room to meet the saint this time seemed very unhappy to Shen Xi.

He had a rift between him and Zhu Houzhao and had a tendency to expand. The people around the emperor were not controlled by him, which means that someone said bad things about him in front of Zhu Houzhao. Although one or two sentences may not threaten his status, Zhu Houzhao could not resist being immersed in these remarks for a long time.

"...Liu Jin had already died before. If it lasts for a long time, it is very likely that I, an emperor student, would also list me as an imaginary enemy, especially when the army is completely controlled by me... This kid cares more about the throne than others, and it will be difficult to deal with once he gets crazy..."

Chen Xi was thinking about how to maintain his intimate relationship with Zhu Houzhao, while Zhang Yuan was thinking about how to shake this relationship.

After receiving the instruction from Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Yuan felt that he had won a great victory. After all, Zhu Houzhao even offended Chen Xi to help him in this matter, allowing him to see hope of suppressing Chen Xi.

"Let your boy be proud in front of me. If you know the awesomeness, it is best to admit defeat with me. In this way, I can still recognize you as your eldest nephew. Otherwise, I will make you unable to survive in the court in the future!"

While Zhang Yuan wanted to suppress Chen Xi, he was also a little worried. However, Chen Xi was as surnamed Chen as he was, in his heart, he still hoped that Chen Xi could shine on his family, so that his children would benefit.

"What do I think of this? If I get the upper hand, won't the Shen family get benefits? Those who looked down on me at that time also had to be optimistic about me. I really want to see the people in the fifth and fourth families of the second family hunched. They have children who passed the imperial examination and even the top scorer. Does my son's future deserve to be worse than theirs?"

Zhang Yuan arrived at Huitong Hall with a complicated mood. In order to prevent Chen Xi's people from obstructing him from meeting the Korean envoys, this time he transferred people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei to accompany him.

When I arrived at the Huitong Hall, I found that the five-city military officers and soldiers who were stationed in the Huitong Hall were guarded by Chen Xi had already withdrawn.

"This kid is very efficient at doing things. Unexpectedly, when His Majesty gave the order, he would withdraw the person. This would be fine, so as not to have any more troubles... He knew the truth!"

When Zhang Yuan entered, he found Lu Gongbi and conveyed Zhu Houzhao's meaning slightly. The other party thought he had heard it wrong.

After a while, the Celestial Empire seemed to have no intention of making things difficult for them anymore. According to what Zhang Yuan said, as long as the ten beauties were handed over, North Korea would get the coveted letter of the country, and they could go back to submit their mission.

"Eunuch Zhang, there will be no more problems with this matter, right?"

Lu Gongbi no longer dared to believe Zhang Yuan completely. After all, after experiencing previous changes, they found that the composition of the central power of the Ming Dynasty was completely different from what they imagined. When Liu Jin was in power, the Sili Supervisor made a decision, but now it is not to say that some things can be accomplished by the support of the current Sili Supervisor's seal. It also depends on the look of Chen Xi, the Minister of War.

Zhang Yuan said annoyedly: "Would you like to laugh at you when I am going to send someone to the palace immediately so that I can see your sincerity when I go to Your Majesty! If you dare to push yourself, believe it or not..."

Zhang Yuan originally wanted to say a few strong words, but when Zhu Houzhao thought of the ten Korean beauties, if the people from the North Korean envoy really left the capital because of fear, it would be like he could not complete his errand.

Lu Gongbi said: "Eunuch Zhang, don't think that we are suspicious by nature. It's really... The previous words of Shangshu Chen made us feel unsure... Ten beauties will be sent to the capital in two days..."

"What did you say?"

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "I said I wanted to give away the beauty, but I actually said it would take two days. I mean I don't want to give it to you anymore, right? It's a good thing that our family talks to you in front of His Majesty, and even gets blamed by His Majesty. As a result, you treat our family like this?"

When Lu Gongbi saw Zhang Yuan being arrogant, he quickly smiled: "Eunuch Zhang doesn't have to care too much. This beauty has to be sent here from the camp in Tongzhou, which may take some time."

Zhang Yuan frowned and said, "Then aren't you taking care of women by your side?"

"Um!?"

Lu Gongbi's face was a little unfair and said, "If you give it to the emperor, you must choose the best one, and you must be a pure and flawless girl."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand: "It is necessary to do what I promised to do. As for whether the girl doesn't matter, I will bring the people together and send them to the palace before talking about it... and then another group of women will arrive, and then our family will send them to the palace."

"this……"

After all, Lu Gongbi was not a native of the Ming Dynasty. He didn't know Zhu Houzhao's special habits towards mature women. In his opinion, the emperor liked girls, so where could anyone like mature women? He immediately said in a shocked manner: "Eunuch Zhang, the subordinates dare not be disrespectful to the emperor in the court."

"Do you give it to someone?"

Zhang Yuan also became angry and glared at Lu Gongbi and said, "Send the person here. Our family promises you that the enthroned letter of the country will be given to you soon. Your Majesty has sent Secretary Chen. Our family is now fully responsible for this matter. Even the soldiers outside have withdrawn. Your actions in the capital will not be subject to any restrictions!"

...

...

Lu Gongbi didn't know the purpose of Zhang Yuan asking for the woman.

In his opinion, finding ten women who were brought from somewhere to the palace was not a loss. It was much easier than finding ten talented and innocent girls from North Korea. Since Zhang Yuan insisted, why not do such a thing that benefits others and self-interest?

So Lu Gongbi found out the women in the envoy group and barely collected ten, which he felt that they were unreliable.

After seeing off Zhang Yuan, Lu Gongbi was worried: "What if the emperor went to court blamed him for this? If he had known it, he would not have believed the nonsense of this eunuch."

What Lu Gongbi didn't know was that the women he found were all "super treasures" in Zhang Yuan's opinion.

Zhang Yuan was complacent in the carriage back to the leopard room: "It takes no time to search for a long time. In the past, people went to find mature women, but they didn't find a few. Now, they get ten at a time, and they have an exotic style. Your Majesty will definitely be very satisfied."

Just when Zhang Yuan felt that his errand was done perfectly, his follower followed him and came to the carriage window to report: "Dadfather-in-law, things are not good. Among these women are my Ming women."

Zhang Yuan frowned: "If you have it, then there is. After we go back, our family will tell His Majesty truthfully that these North Koreans don't have much sincerity, and even the beauties are not ready to go to the capital to request the enthronement. It is obvious that they are thinking of making money from nothing. This time, they won't cut a layer of oil from them. I'm sorry for our hard work along the way."

When Zhang Yuan arrived at the leopard room, he saw Xiao Tiaozi waiting there before he could reach the main courtyard.

Zhang Yuan looked bad: "Get out of here!"

In Zhang Yuan's opinion, Xiao Guozi came to compete for credit with him, so he naturally would not give him a good face.

Xiao Zhuozi smiled and said, "Your Majesty sent our family to wait for Eunuch Zhang here... I wonder if Eunuch Zhang brought all the Korean beauties?"

Zhang Yuan said: "Our family can naturally do the errands assigned by His Majesty, but they don't do it themselves like some people!"

Xiao Guozi saw that Zhang Yuan was in high spirits and did not want to have any quarrels with him. He immediately led the way and sent someone to bring ten beauties to the leopard room.

When Xiao Tiaozi brought Zhang Yuan to see the car, Zhu Houzhao was watching the show, and there was no one next to him. Not to mention Qian Ning and Sima Zhenren and other close ministers, there were not even one palace maid or eunuch who served him, and he seemed alone.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhang is back and reported." Xiao Zhuozi stepped forward and said.

Zhu Houzhao looked back and looked a little dazed, "Here you come back? Zhang Yuan, have you brought back ten beauties?"

Zhang Yuan said: "Take it, but..."

“But what?”

Zhu Houzhao's face was a little unkind.

When Zhang Yuan saw this attitude, he could only bite the bullet and said, "It's just that the Koreans don't have much sincerity. The beauty of His Majesty's tribute is still on the way. The old slave took his own initiative and asked them to send the women they accompanied him first. Most of them were not girls, but women around twenty years old... and they also mixed with the women they bought in the Ming Dynasty..."

Zhu Houzhao sighed relieved: "I thought it was something, as long as I had a good appearance, it didn't matter whether a girl was a girl, so take me to see it."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly became energetic. He was originally just curious about foreign women, but now he heard that there were foreign mature women, and he became even more interested.

Then Xiao Twisted the way and took Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Yuan to the room where ten women settled. Zhu Houzhao did not enter directly, but like a naughty boy, he actually came to the window and poked the paper into it.

"Your Majesty, you are..."

Zhang Yuan didn't quite understand what Zhu Houzhao was going to do.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "You don't understand, it's fun to do this!"

Zhu Houzhao narrowed her eyes and looked inside, but when she heard the scolding of the old palace maids, it was obvious that the old palace maids did not regard the women sent in outside as humans. In addition, most of these people came from North Korea. Even if they were not North Korean women, they grew up in the Liaodong area and did not understand the rules at all, which made the old palace maids very annoyed.

"...Hurry and take a shower and change your clothes, Your Majesty will summon you at any time. As long as you serve Your Majesty well, you may become successful!"

The old palace maids held a rattan in their hands, but they did not dare to really greet these women. If they were damaged and discovered by Zhu Houzhao, they would likely lose their lives.

Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied with peeking outside. It was not until these women could no longer see them when they entered the bathtub. They reluctantly withdrew their gaze.

"You guys go back!" Zhu Houzhao said with a shake of her hands.

Xiao Taozi and Zhang Yuan were both stunned. Zhang Yuan asked carefully: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Zhu Houzhao rolled up her sleeves: "I want to be a madman today, and I will be a tyrant."

Zhang Yuan's body trembled: "Your Majesty, these are all women from foreign countries. They are very strong and do not know how to advance or retreat. If you have any problems, the old slave can't afford it."

Zhu Houzhao's face was not kind: "Why, in your opinion, I can't deal with a few weak women? I hope they will resist, otherwise it will not be good enough."

When Xiao Guozi saw this posture, he quickly winked at Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan still insisted: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is the most important thing."
