Chapter 253 One night scene

Zhu Hui and Chen Xi went to the Ministry of War.

However, he soon couldn't hold on and kept dozing off. It was dawn, so Zhu Hui didn't plan to stay for a long time. He gave Chen Xi some advice and left and went home.

At this time, the martial law in the capital had been lifted, as if nothing had happened.

Chen Xi said to Lu Wan and Wang Chang: "It's not too early. It seems that the matter last night has been properly resolved. Our Ministry of War does not need to be so angry. Let's go back to the mansion to rest."

Lu Wan and Wang Chang also yawned repeatedly. Lu Wan said, "It would be fine if it was normal. It was just that I was resting at the beginning of this year. I was too tired to visit relatives and friends and couldn't hold on, so I could only go back and rest first... If there was anything, Secretary Chen just sent someone to notify me."

The two ministers of the Ministry of War had the same attitude as Zhu Hui, and they would come to them if they had something to do. They also knew that if there was something urgent, it would be too late to wait for them to come. This just shows an attitude.

Chen Xi nodded and said goodbye to the two ministers, but did not personally go to the door to see them leave.

Half an hour later, the world gradually became brighter. Just as Shen Xi was about to find a place to rest, Wang Qiong, the general manager of the trilateral, came to visit the Ministry of War, and Chen Xi had to come forward to greet him.

After Wang Qiong and Chen Xi took a seat, they showed that he did not come to urge food, but asked about the situation last night.

Wang Qiong said: "After all, I am a foreign official. Yesterday, the capital was in a panic. My subordinates were not sure when they heard the rumors. They could only come to Shangshu Chen to ask clearly."

Chen Xi nodded and said, "It is rumored that His Majesty was assassinated. No one knows the specific situation. In short, everything is peaceful now. I believe that someone will try to meet the saint today. He has to see His Majesty before he can feel at ease."

Wang Qiong asked, "Will Secretary Chen go to see His Majesty?"

Chen Xi could understand Wang Qiong's mood. Nowadays, only Chen Xi can see Zhu Houzhao at any time. If Chen Xi does not verify it, it will be very difficult for others to get the correct information. However, Chen Xi knows his own affairs. His relationship with Zhu Houzhao is not as harmonious as the outside world sees. He will not make things boring. He said now:

"I haven't been asleep the next night and am now sleepy and I'm going to rest soon. This kind of thing should be the most suitable thing for Han Yuan to come forward. Brother Dehua wants to know the details, why not ask Mr. Xie."

Wang Qiong saw that Chen Xi was shirking the blame. He knew that his visit might be a bit abrupt. He stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go to Xie Ge Lao's mansion to inquire...Shangshu Chen, say goodbye!"

Wang Qiong sat down and said a few words before leaving. Chen Xi understood that Wang Qiong was very anxious to determine Zhu Houzhao's safety. As for whether Wang Qiong's move had profound meaning, it was not included in Shen Xi's consideration. No matter what purpose Wang Qiong was enthusiastic about inquiring about the truth, it never violated the principles of the ministers.

When he saw Wang Qiong away, Chen Xi didn't want to stay in the Ministry of War for a long time. He immediately called the officials on duty to explain it, and then left. He did not plan to go back to the house, but went to Hui Niang's place. After all, he was just going to take a nap. After noon, there must be a lot of things waiting for him.

...

...

After dawn, Zhu Houzhao came out of Concubine Li.

After experiencing a storm last night, Zhu Houzhao had no intention of restraining her mind. She was at the place of Concubine Li and was sad when she came out.

Zhang Yuan came forward and said, "Your Majesty, how good are you resting at Concubine Li? Why do you have to go back and rest?"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "I do whatever I want, and I don't need you to give me some advice! What about the little twister? Why are you again? Don't you have to deal with other things?"

Zhang Yuan thought that he could enjoy higher treatment by Zhu Houzhao once, but Zhu Houzhao's attitude towards him was still lukewarm. Zhang Yuan said angrily: "I have something to do with Xiao Tiaozi, so the old slave came to serve His Majesty."

"I need you to serve you? Have you caught those women?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Zhang Yuan looked at Zhu Houzhao, as if saying, do you have that energy?

Zhang Yuan said: "Ten people have caught eight of them, and two have been thrown into the well. The bodies have just been caught."

Zhu Houzhao had a bad face and muttered: "Those ten women are so energetic. Several of them look good and have good figures. It's a pity to die like this... I'll take good care of people and go and see them when I wake up!"

“Yes, yes!”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly agreed and was frightened.

Obviously, this young king did not learn much lesson. Even if he was hurt by those women, he continued to be indomitable and prepared to do another round of overlords.

Zhang Yuan knew that he was not popular, so he simply stopped following Zhu Houzhao and left to arrange for the women who paid tribute to North Korea first.

When he arrived at the Leopard Landlord's wing, Qianning was picking his teeth and basking in the sun.

"Oh, isn't this Eunuch Zhang?" Qian Ning stood up to greet him. Qian Ning was already the commander of the Jinyiwei. He had just named him before, but after Zhu Houzhao woke up from assassination, he was worried that the situation in the capital would be out of control, so he issued an order to let Qian Ning take office. The assassin was led by him, so Qian Ning was in high spirits at this time.

Zhang Yuan was angry when he saw Qian Ning's lazy look. He never expected that the biggest beneficiary of Zhu Houzhao's assassination was actually this bad gangster. He frowned and asked, "Where is the criminal you want?"

"Didn't you send someone to tell Eunuch Zhang? Two people died, the bodies were caught, and the rest were imprisoned in the yard. As long as the emperor gave the order, he would move his head immediately!" Qian Ning said with a smile.

Zhang Yuan glared: "Your Majesty was assassinated, can you actually laugh?"

Qian Ning flattened his mouth unconsciously: "Your Majesty Long Taikang Tai, has you ever been assassinated? But Eunuch Zhang should pay attention to the tone and measure of his speech..."

Zhang Yuan felt even more unhappy when he was taught a lesson by a villain like Qian Ning, but he couldn't shout at Qian Ning. After all, the other party was the commander of the Jinyiwei. This time he had to rely on Qian Ning to complete Zhu Houzhao's entrustment.

More importantly, Zhang Yuan knew that Qian Ning was favored now, and he could not use those straightforward methods to deal with it, and just secretly attacked it.

Zhang Yuan said with a dark face: "Your Majesty said that people cannot be killed. I told you to say that you will visit these women again after dark."

Qian Ning blinked in surprise. Although he was suspicious of Zhang Yuan's words, he knew that this was Zhu Houzhao's style of conduct, and he was sure that Zhang Yuan would not dare to speak nonsense.

Qian Ning smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhang, please rest assured. I will definitely arrange this matter properly. No matter where Your Majesty is, I can do the matter well... By the way, Eunuch Zhang, will you find a few people to fill the gap?"

"What are the shortcomings?" Zhang Yuan asked frowned.

"If there are fewer people, it is hard to guarantee that Your Majesty will be unhappy. Why don't you find a few more people to fill the gap?" Qian Ning said with a frown.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "This kid has a lot of resources on hand. He said that he could make up for this poor woman by filling it up, which shows that he has inventory in his hand... No, no, he must cut off his channels to obtain women so that he can gradually lose favor. In this way, even if he doesn't need me to do it, he will not be able to survive."

Zhang Yuan said: "Your Majesty already knows that the two of you have died. If you find someone to fill it, your Majesty will know that it is a false statement. This matter cannot be mentioned again."

Qian Ning salutes: "Thank you, Eunuch Zhang, for your reminder. I know what to do... Eunuch Zhang, please come back."

Before Zhang Yuan could leave, Qian Ning ordered him to be expelled, which made him embarrassed and annoyed, but he still held back this breath and walked out of the East Courtyard.

"Qian Ning must suppress his arrogance, otherwise it will be more difficult than my eldest nephew."

...

...

Xie Qian has not slept since he knew that Zhu Houzhao was assassinated.

When I saw the guests in the courtyard until dawn, I simply took a carriage to the leopard room. His purpose was very simple, to meet Zhu Houzhao to prove the physical condition of Emperor Zhengde.

This time, Xie Qian was waiting alone at the door of the leopard room. He had no chance to enter. He waited until the sun was noon before he came out. He felt a little distressed when he saw Xie Qian's haggard appearance.

Xiao Tiaozi said with a bitter face: "Master Xie, why are you doing this? Your Majesty should be fine. It's too difficult for you to get in, and you've already gone to bed now."

Xie Qian said with an urgent look: "That Majesty... is it really good for the dragon body?"

Xiao Tiaozi shook his head and said, "The villain is just hearing it. Since His Majesty was injured last night, he has never had the chance to meet the saint again. However, he heard from the eunuchs and palace maids of Concubine Li's side that His Majesty should be fine, and even... he even came to the woman over there. I thought that His Majesty had just fainted temporarily and his body recovered soon."

When talking, look around to prevent anyone from hearing them.

Xie Qian seemed helpless: "Then is there any way to meet the saint now?"

"No."

Xiao Guozi's initial tone was very firm, then he seemed to remember something and whispered, "I have a chance... I'll let Shangshu Shen come, maybe it can do it. Your Majesty has given me instructions before. Whenever Shangshu Shen comes, even if His Majesty is resting, he will go in and report..."

Xie Qian said angrily: "Did you ask me to ask him for help?"

"Or it's okay to find someone to pass the message!"

Xiao Zhuozi looked helpless, "There is nothing else. Now even the villain can't see His Majesty. Master Xie, please consider it carefully... The villain is afraid that someone will be seen, so he will go back now. Xie Ge really has no need to stay here."

Xiao Guozi was about to leave when suddenly he came out of the leopard room and saw Xiao Guozi talking with Xie Qian.

"Oh, who is this? Isn't this my father-in-law who is deeply favored by His Majesty?" The person who came was Zhang Yuan.

In order to prevent Xiao Tiaozi from approaching Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Yuan tried his best to push the responsibility on Xiao Tiaozi during the assassination of the emperor, but he has not given Xiao Tiaozi a chance to meet the saint until now.

This time he caught Xiao Tiaozi and saw Xie Qian's handle, as if he had found a great evidence of guilt, and his tone of speaking was very strange.

Xiao Guozi was so scared that his face was pale and quickly explained to himself: "Eunuch Zhang, the villain just came out to inform Master Xie, so that he would not have to wait here."

"You are clearly coming out to inform us."

Zhang Yuan walked forward and glared at Xie Qian and said, "Gei Master Xie, isn't our family wrong?"

Xie Qian knew that he had asked Zhang Yuan now, but he would not cheat on his own people on such issues. He said seriously: "My father-in-law is right, he just came to persuade me to leave."

Zhang Yuan stared at Xie Qian tightly, as if he blamed the other party for not standing by his side and suppressing the little knives. He waved his hand and said, "What are you waiting for when you are old man Teng? Go in!"

Before, Zhang Yuan could not scream when he saw Xiao Tiaozi, but everything seemed to be different overnight. Zhang Yuan's momentum became stronger and even Xie Qian didn't take it seriously.

After Xiaotiaozi entered the main entrance of the leopard room, Zhang Yuan said in a threatening tone:
Chapter completed!
