It was noon when Zhang Yuan got up and was about to eat something, Zang Xian hurried over: "Dadult, it's not a good thing. Lord Wang of the Three-Border General and Lord Hu of the Governor went to the palace to see him. It seemed that he wanted to report to His Majesty that you had privately tampered with the memorial."

Zhang Yuan stood up suddenly and shouted angrily: "This group of things that are worse than pigs and dogs, dare to go against our family after eating the courage of bear heart and leopard? What about Yang Wu, why didn't he come to pass the message earlier?"

Zang Xian explained: "It was Lord Yang who sent someone to tell the story of the villain that he knew about this. He didn't dare to delay for a moment and came to report to his father-in-law."

Zhang Yuan didn't care about eating, so he simply tidied up. He didn't even wear a hair crown, so he hurried out with Zang Xian. When he arrived at the door, he saw Dai Yi coming over hurriedly.

"Eunuch Zhang, something big happened..." Dai Yi seemed to have come to report the news.

Zhang Yuan said angrily: "Our family already knows that Wang Shouren and Hu Lian and a few ungrateful things went to see the sage to slander our family, right?"

Dai Yi replied: "It's not this matter. The Yellow River broke the dam... This year, the Yellow River flood season came early, and the Huayuankou section of Henan broke down, and countless people were killed or injured..."

Zhang Yuan cursed: "What does it have to do with our family when the Yellow River breaks down? Our family is going to go to the Secretariat, you old guy, go there!"

For people like Zhang Yuan who always have a petty citizen mentality, no flood or breach is worth paying attention to, because this does not involve his personal interests. What will happen to him if there are more deaths from others? But it will be different for Wang Shouren and others to file a complaint in front of the emperor, which will affect his status in the emperor's mind.

Then Zhang Yuan ignored the other party, pulled away Dai Yi who was blocking him, and continued to trot towards the palace.

Seeing this, Dai Yi had no choice but to run away while following Zhang Yuan.

"Eunuch Zhang, you must tell His Majesty this matter immediately. If the flood is not managed in time and the relief is not in place, there may be a large-scale famine in the Central Plains, and there will be a thousand miles of corpses. By then... the situation will be very bad!"

Zhang Yuan did not take it to the heart of the Yellow River breaking, but after hearing Dai Yi's words, he was inspired and thought about it:

"Huh? This is a good excuse. I can take the lead in reporting to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will definitely be impatient. In this way, I will drive me away with those who complain, so that no one can sue in front of you!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan showed a smug smile on his face and said, "Okay, our family knows it. Let's go and tell His Majesty, you go back first."

Dai Yi was about to remind Henan locals that requested disaster relief to be approved as soon as possible, but Zhang Yuan had already run away for a while. It was useless for Dai Yi to be anxious, so he could only watch Zhang Yuan enter the palace with his feet.

Zhang Yuan did not enter through the main gate to prevent him from meeting Wang Shouren, Hu Lian and others halfway. Instead, he chose to enter the palace from the small gate to the east. After entering, he went straight to the inner courtyard where Zhu Houzhao lived. However, he did not arrive at the place to know from the eunuchs who passed by Zhu Houzhao had begun to meet Wang Shouren, Hu Lian and others.

"Why is Your Majesty so active this time?"

Zhang Yuan felt that the problem was difficult. When he entered the inner garden gate, he saw Zhu Houzhao sitting upright on the chair in the main hall listening to Wang Shouren's report. He could no longer care about anything else. Without any news, he shouted: "Your Majesty, something big happened, Your Majesty..."

Amid the shouting, Zhang Yuan rushed straight into the hall like a wind, which scared Zhu Houzhao, who was crooked and sleepy, listening to the report, and suddenly sat upright.

Xiao Tiaozi reminded him: "It's Eunuch Zhang."

Zhu Houzhao frowned and was about to scold Zhang Yuan for such vulgar behavior, but saw Zhang Yuan kneeling down and shouting: "Your Majesty, the Yellow River has flooded, the dam at the entrance of the garden has broken, and countless people have been killed or injured!"

His voice was very loud, completely overwhelming the previous sound of Wang Shouren's incident, and quickly attracted Zhu Houzhao's attention.

Wang Shouren, Hu Lian and others were secretly annoyed. They were about to sue Zhang Yuan for tampering with the date of Datong's military dispatch and the delay in issuing an edict, but now Zhang Yuan suddenly came out and said that the Yellow River was flooding, which suddenly hit the rhythm of their report.

Zhu Houzhao frowned and asked, "Eunuch Zhang, you came suddenly, crazy. Why did you say that the Yellow River is flooding? You are sincerely chasing me, right?"

Just like Zhang Yuan’s idea, Zhu Houzhao didn’t care about the flood of the Yellow River at all.

In the memory of this young emperor, Zhu Youzhe has heard many river management and disaster relief in the Huanghuai region since he was a child. The Yellow River breach almost every year, and every time he has to allocate funds to repair the river embankment. The Central Plains have almost been quiet for a day. The heavy waters in the Yellow River are as sparse as thunder and rain. There is no need to make a fuss, but it scares him the problem is even more serious.

Zhang Yuan said: "Your Majesty, this time the situation is different. The Yellow River breaks its dam and makes a country with thousands of miles of land. The people are killed and injured. Your Majesty is not in the capital. If the people cause trouble, it may harm the country and the country of Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of someone endangering the throne, Zhu Houzhao then took it a little attention, nodded, and asked, "You are right, but what about the memorial?"

Only then did Zhang Yuan remembered that after hearing the news of the flood of the Yellow River from Dai Yi, he came, without even asking about the specific situation, let alone asking Dai Yi for the memorial from the local government in Henan.

Zhang Yuan hurriedly defended himself: "I heard that the dam broke at the Yellow River Garden, and was anxious and didn't care about the people around me. So I came to report to Your Majesty... The matter of flood control and disaster relief is urgent, Your Majesty!"

From beginning to end, Zhang Yuan was screaming at the top of his voice, with a sharp voice, which made Zhu Houzhao feel upset when he heard it. He didn't bother to ask Wang Shouren what was going on.

The purpose of Wang Shouren and Hu Lian meeting was to impeach Zhang Yuan.

If it were the Minister and Minister of the Sixth Central Committee of the Court, they would never be so rash. After all, Zhang Yuan, the eunuch in charge of the seal, was too prominent, and no one could impeach. Moreover, after all, Zhang Yuan was not a court official, but a slave of the royal family. Imprisoning Zhang Yuan was like slapping the emperor in the face.

However, Wang Shouren and Hu Lian were both "new officials" promoted by Chen Xi. They were young and energetic and would not consider too many consequences when encountering problems. Even though they were well versed in the officialdom, they could not rub the sand in their eyes when it came to success or failure of the war. They tried every means to make the emperor feel as clear as a mirror.

But no matter what, they didn't expect that Zhang Yuan would interrupt their work in such a nearly rogue way.

Zhu Houzhao said: "If you don't know the specific situation, you will come to me and report it? Can you think of the countermeasures first and then come? The most important thing at the moment is to pacify the barbarians in the north. As for the disaster in the Yellow River, it can be delayed for a period of time before talking about it."

Wang Shouren is extremely upright, and he could only stand up and advise him when he heard this, "Your Majesty, the disaster is urgent, and it is related to the lives of millions of people, and there should be no negligence."

Zhang Yuan's heart moved, looked at Wang Shouren a few times, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, what Lord Wang said is very true. Everyone knows that Lord Wang is very good at managing disasters. Your Majesty might as well send Lord Wang to Henan to manage floods and provide relief to the victims, so as to show that Your Majesty's mighty power!"

The officials present were surprised. No one expected that Zhang Yuan would have such a "precise attack". Wang Shouren, who just now had not finished the foreplay and led to Zhang Yuan's key point, broke in and broke out the Yellow River flood. Then he wanted to rush the initiator Wang Shouren to Henan to deal with the disaster, which obviously meant to kill a chicken to warn the monkey.

Zhu Houzhao frowned: "Didn't you hear me explain? Everything should be put first in war... Now that the army is approaching, I am ready to lead troops out of the frontier to go to war with the Tatars, and suddenly recruit the front-line commanders to go back to deal with the disaster? It's extremely ridiculous!"

Zhu Houzhao's words made Wang Shouren and Hu Lian breathe a little relieved. Wang Shouren watched as he was retaliated by the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor. He was determined to continue impeaching Zhang Yuan to deceive his superiors and subordinates, and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have not yet completed the report on the matter of sending troops."

"you……"

Zhu Houzhao was just feeling impatient when Zhang Yuan suddenly jumped out again and shouted: "Mr. Wang, this is your fault. Your Majesty is working for national affairs. You are obviously not energetic now... Even if Your Majesty is the power of the dragon and tiger, it is blessed by the emperor, but you need rest. How can you bother Your Majesty with trivial matters? Don't you understand that Your Majesty's dragon body is uncomfortable?"

After saying that, he turned around and said to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty, you are tired, why not go back to the bedroom to rest first. Regarding the military sending, as well as the Yellow River floods, the old slave will do it carefully for you, and it will definitely not bother you."

Zhu Houzhao was already upset. He heard Wang Shouren talk long and didn't say the point for a long time. Later, Zhang Yuan broke in again, said a lot, and then had a direct conflict with Wang Shouren in words, and was even more upset. After hearing Zhang Yuan's words, he felt that it was very suitable for his feelings and waved his hand: "Well, Eunuch Zhang, I'll leave the matter to you!"

After saying that, Zhu Houzhao stood up and was about to leave.

Wang Shouren was stunned. He never expected that such a result would be. At this point, he had already seen that Zhu Houzhao did not support him. Now Zhang Yuan clearly has the upper hand. With his years of experience in officialdom, he knew that this mute was defeated and he was determined to suffer.

However, Hu Lian was very persistent and knelt down and reported directly: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhang concealed the details of the troops sent by Datong Town and deliberately urged Shangshu Shen to send troops earlier, in order to make the court lose the battle against the Tatars!"

"What?"

Zhu Houzhao had already taken a few steps, but when he heard this, he suddenly turned around, his face full of confusion... Obviously, with his confused head, he didn't understand the matter.

Hu Lian was about to continue speaking, Zhang Yuan angrily opened his eyes and shouted, "Mr. Hu, are you slandering people? Why did you send troops earlier? The combat plan was formulated by Shangshu Shen. When will Shangshu Shen send troops? Your Majesty has followed his wishes. What else do you want? Is it that the temporary change of mind and let Your Majesty obey? Do you want the Central Army led by Your Majesty to be in danger?"

Zhang Yuan had already figured it out that Hu Lian and Wang Shouren could not have the opportunity to continue talking. He had to point the conflict to the power dispute between Zhu Houzhao and Shen Xi. Doing so would make Zhu Houzhao's thoughts become chaotic, so he couldn't figure out what the trick was there.

Zhang Yuan made a good plan, but Hu Lian was not a vegetarian, so he continued to shout: "Shangshu Chen will send troops tomorrow!"

Unlike Wang Shouren, Hu Lian likes to make key points when speaking, and often hits the nail on the head. He saw that the emperor seemed to be unaware of the matter of sending troops and was too lazy to ask about it, so he simply told the things that Zhang Yuan was most afraid of being known to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhang Yuan also shouted at the top of his voice: "Shangshu Chen is doing this to seize power from His Majesty. He is a minister who is capricious and is simply against His Majesty!"

Zhang Yuan thought that as long as his voice was loud enough to completely suppress Hu Lian's voice, he didn't expect that Hu Lian was determined to go against him after eating the weight, and his voice was not inferior to him at all. Zhu Houzhao heard it clearly.

Zhu Houzhao returned and roared: "Shut up to me!"

Hu Lian and Zhang Yuan, who were speaking at the same time, both obediently stopped. Finally, Zhang Yuan knelt down honestly and lowered his head to wait for Zhu Houzhao's instructions.

Zhu Houzhao said: "One or two are yelling here, they are not as polite as a shrew in the market. What do you think? If the world sees this scene, don't you laugh at me and don't know how to discipline me? You... Hu Qing's family, what did you just say, Shangshu Chen will send troops tomorrow?"

"Your Majesty, there is nothing. When Chen Shangshu submitted the memorial, he said that he would send troops on May 15th, and tomorrow will be May 11th..." Zhang Yuan robbed Bai.

"Shut up! I didn't let you speak... If you make any more decisions, see how I punish you! Is it because your butt is itchy again?" Zhu Houzhao roared angrily.

Zhang Yuan immediately felt a stinging pain in his butt. He didn't feel anything before. Now, after Zhu Houzhao reminded him, he thought of the tragic situation of being beaten a few days ago. He immediately glared at Hu Lian viciously, as if he wanted to threaten Hu Lian and prevent the other party from continuing to talk.

But Hu Lian seemed to have not seen it and replied: "Your Majesty, the date of sending troops was May 11, and the date of sending troops in Shangshen hoped that the time for sending troops was May 15! But for some reason, the last date of sending troops was May 15 and May 30! I am afraid that something was wrong, so I came to see Your Majesty together and asked about the reasons, and also wanted to remind Your Majesty that there might be problems in this."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang Yuan first, then shook his head slightly and said, "It is impossible. The time for the troops requested by Secretary Chen at that time was clearly the fifteenth day of May and the end of May. Everything was approved by Secretary Chen's request. This was my personal approval and had nothing to do with Eunuch Zhang!"

Zhang Yuan also said: "Your Majesty, the old slave is just passing the memorial to Shangshu Chen. The memorial was indeed written like this at that time. Even if there is a problem, it is not the old slave's responsibility... Woo, the old slave is really unjustly dead!"

While defending himself, Zhang Yuan pretended to be wronged and wanted to win Zhu Houzhao's mercy. The main reason was that he relied on the fact that among the people present, he knew Zhu Houzhao's temperament best.

Hu Lian said: "I requested to re-examine the memorial of Shangshu Chen to keep a close eye on the audio!"

Zhu Houzhao hesitated for a moment, looked at Hu Lian, then Wang Shouren who was standing next to him but bowed his head and said silently. Finally, he looked at Zhang Yuan who was kneeling and nodded, "The military strategist is nothing small. This is the first time I have been in charge of the imperial army since I ascended the throne. If there is a deviation, it may indeed affect the reign of the Ming Dynasty and cannot be neglected. Eunuch Zhang, go and take the memorial and check it out for the Hu Qing family and Wang Qing family."

Zhang Yuan did not get up and said, "Your Majesty, I will handle so many memorials every day. Where can I find this time?"

Hu Lian said: "How important is Secretary Chen's memorials? Is it that difficult to find? Or is Eunuch Zhang's mind a ghost, so he refuses to find the memorials?"

Zhu Houzhao shouted sternly: "Eunuch Zhang, I asked you to find me, why are you going to do this?"

Zhang Yuan said: "I'll ask someone to go and find him. Your Majesty, please calm down. The dragon body is important."

Zhu Houzhao had no intention of staying, but when he found that the matter was serious, he sat down again and waited patiently. Zhang Yuan did not go in person, but asked Dai Yi, Gao Feng and others to look for it. He knew that the memorial could not be found now because the original was damaged by him.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao urged him several times in the middle, Dai Yi came back and knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Lao Nu and others have gone back to search for it many times, but they couldn't find the memorial of Shangshu Chen. This... is too strange. Maybe it was put somewhere else!"

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Mr. Chen's military sentencing is absolutely confidential. You just let go of it as soon as you put it aside? In the end, you can't find it? How did you serve as a lie supervisor?"

Dai Yi pleaded guilty and even Zhang Yuan knelt there and admitted his mistake. Everything seemed to be the fault of the entire yamen of the Sili Supervisor, but one thing was very important. Without the original copy of Chen Xi's memorial, it was impossible to distinguish the truth by relying on the words of all parties.

Hu Lian said: "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true. The imperial decree drafted by Eunuch Zhang to Datong Town did not even explain the time. He just said that he would allow Secretary Chen to request the request. The purpose was to let Secretary Chen send troops earlier, and even go out to the blockade before May 15th."

Zhang Yuan raised his head and argued: "It's like a slander!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "Give me the imperial edict sent to Datong Town, and I will check it out myself."

Someone immediately brought the edict model. This was impossible to disappear for no reason. There was a record of the case everywhere. After taking it, Zhu Houzhao saw it himself, then threw the edict on the ground and said angrily: "Eunuch Zhang, what do you mean? Why don't you specify the time for sending troops in the edict?"

Zhang Yuan said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Secretary Chen has already decided on the day of sending troops before. When the old slave drafted the edict, he would send troops according to the request of Secretary Chen. Isn't that wrong?"
Chapter completed!
