Chapter 2454 Informed and Interested(1/2)

Regarding Zhang Yuan's confrontation with Zhu Houzhao, he proposed to make an appointment with the candidate for the Nanjing garrison eunuch as soon as possible, and Zhu Houzhao gave him the authority to entrust him. Soon, Xie Qian, outside the palace, learned about it.

Xie Qian was very annoyed. He could have had a good discussion with Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan obviously disdained him as the chief minister of the cabinet, which directly led to the current confrontation.

When Yang Tinghe came to see Xie Qian, he mentioned the problem very seriously, and suspected that Zhang Yuan wanted to control the government and that Liu Jin had the tendency to abdicate power in the past. As for why Yang Tinghe had such a view, Xie Qian understood that Zhang Yuan's work is completely out of control by the cabinet now.

Xie Qian was even more worried that the cabinet would once again become a vassal of the eunuch party, and would only serve as an advisor and could not control the emperor's decision.

"If this continues, I'm afraid that another eunuch party force will grow soon." Yang Tinghe looked at Xie Qian as he spoke, hoping that Xie Qian could provide countermeasures so that the problem could be solved.

Xie Qian looked cautious: "Wei Bin was a core figure in the eunuch party before. It was only because Shen Zhihou's wife was kind and did not let His Majesty punish the remnants of the eunuch party that what happened today happened... It seems that this matter has to be informed and he will come forward to solve the problem."

"Xie Lao..."

Yang Tinghe was very dissatisfied with Xie Qian's solution, because it was obvious that Shen Xi would submit a memorial to Zhu Houzhao and reject Zhang Yuan's suggestion.

Xie Qian raised his hand and interrupted Yang Tinghe's words, "The Face Saint has proved that it won't work... Could it be that you have a better way?"

Finally, Xie Qian looked at Yang Tinghe, his eyes were meaningful... I will follow your good suggestions, but if you don't have them, you'd better not speak.

Under the pressure from Xie Qian, Yang Tinghe could only sigh helplessly: "In fact, we can discuss it with Eunuch Zhang Yongzhang, Eunuch Guo and others. If Your Majesty can hold a court meeting in the near future..."

Xie Qian was naturally dissatisfied with Yang Tinghe's words. He told Yang Tinghe not to talk nonsense, but the other party still insisted on cooperating with Zhang Yong. In Xie Qian's view, Zhang Yong's power was simply impossible to compare with the eunuch in charge of the Sili Superintendent who stood at the top of power. This would only do useless work.

"Let's see how Zhihou first said it." Xie Qian said, "After all, he is the person who is most closely related to this now. His Majesty gives Zhang Yuan the authority, isn't it because he will soon go to Jiangnan to fight Japanese pirates? Maybe he is behind the scenes."

Yang Tinghe's eyes lit up and he asked, "Geor Xie thought that Shen Zhihou was doing all this behind his back? Before he went to the war, Zhang Yuan went to Shen's mansion to issue an order many times, but the two of them got very close..."

Xie Qian said: "It's meaningless to speculate for no reason. I'll bring the news to him. I'll just ask about this matter for the time being. Mentor, you should stop as appropriate."

After hearing what Xie Qian said, Yang Tinghe felt that he had done something wrong and was advised by Xie Qian. He immediately thought that it might be related to his previous concealment of information and obtaining channels.

In the end, Yang Tinghe could only nod and agreed, but in fact he was very unwilling to interfere through his own way so that the situation in Nanjing would not completely get out of control.

...

...

Before Xie Qian wrote to Shen Xi, Shen Xi knew the whole story and knew that Zhang Yong and Xiao Guozi were going to elect Ma Yongcheng as the eunuch in Nanjing.

There were many people who wrote letters to Shen Xi, and even Zhang Yuan seemed to respect Shen Xi's opinions very much. He sent someone to the army to inform him that he had asked someone to help Shen Xi deal with shipbuilding and tumbling chaos in Jiangnan. He would do his best to help Yunyun in the capital. The purpose was naturally to stabilize Shen Xi and prevent Shen Xi from interfering in his plan.

Ma Yongcheng and Zhang Yongye both secretly wrote letters to Chen Xi, informing him of the plan for the position of garrison eunuch in Nanjing, and wanting to win Chen Xi's support... Everyone knows Chen Xi's position in the mind of Emperor Zhengde. His words can change many things, and even Zhang Yuan has to surrender.

Xie Qian sent the letter, and within two days, Kuaima sent the secret letter to Chen Xi. At this time, the court still did not issue a document to appoint Wei Bin as the eunuch in Nanjing.

Chen Xi was discussing military information with Tang Yin and Hu Lian in the central army tent, and Ma Jiu came in and delivered the letter to Chen Xi.

Hu Lian bowed and said goodbye, and Ma Jiu accompanied Hu Lian to leave. Originally, Tang Yin was leaving, but was left by Chen Xi. At this time, Chen Xi had read the letter as quickly as possible.

"Brother Bohu, this is a letter from Mr. Xie from the capital. Look."

Chen Xi did not hide it from Tang Yin, and handed Xie Qian's letter directly to Tang Yin. Tang Yin was at a loss when he held the letter.

Even though he didn't know the content of the letter, he understood that it was related to the game between the core power level. He thought about it and once again asked Chen Xi to verify that Chen Xi really asked him to read the letter, he focused on reading Xie Qian's letter. After knowing that it was related to the appointment of Nanjing's eunuchs and the appointment of Nanjing's Minister of War, and the power structure involved in Nanjing, he felt that it had a significant relationship. He handed the letter back to Chen Xi, and his expression seemed extremely restrained.

Chen Xi asked, "What do you think about Brother Bohu?"

Chen Xi asked very directly. Tang Yin hesitated for a long time before asking: "Why should Secretary Chen listen to his opinions? I... I am not qualified to participate in the discussion of such things."

Chen Xi smiled: "Many things in the court are not secrets. The Minister of Lili is now relying on His Majesty's trust and has a stable position in the court in the cabinet. Now even the imperial court's personnel arrangements cannot express his opinions."

Tang Yin said: "Isn't it the Ministry of Personnel to make the decision? Is Shangshu Chen the general who led the army outside or the Minister of Personnel?"

Tang Yin's question made Chen Xi funny because Tang Yin asked it seriously and had an extremely serious expression, but in fact, this kind of question does not need to be answered at all. No matter what Chen Xi's identity is, Chen Xi is the relationship of the emperor's most trusted minister. Xie Qian wrote a letter to Chen Xi to inform Chen Xi, which was more like Xie Qian was really helpless with Zhang Yuan, and then he thought of letting Chen Xi come forward to solve the problem.

"Is there any difference?" Chen Xi asked.

Tang Yin thought about it and finally shook his head: "The difference is not big, but Master Xie's letter is meaningful... When is it the turn of the minister who led the troops outside to deal with the matter in the capital? Isn't Master Xie making things difficult for others?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "I used to do so many things in the court, which one is not a difficult thing? In the minds of Your Majesty or Master Xie, they don't need to consider whether it is appropriate or not, they just need to consider whether it is beneficial to it... Maybe it's not appropriate for me to say that, but Brother Bohu might as well imagine if the superiors ask their subordinates to do things, they need to consider the time, place, method and method? Haha..."

Tang Yin asked, "Then according to the original intention of Shangshu Chen, I don't want to stand up for this matter, right?"

Chen Xi nodded: "I am leading the troops outside. What kind of eunuchs and senior personnel arrangements should be handed over to the officials in the capital. If Mr. Xie is dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan, he can submit the memorial. Perhaps he felt that the General Administration of Lishu suppressed his memorial, so he chose not to submit the memorial, but turned around and asked me a problem, just to let me come forward and then pass the conflict onto me. If I don't follow, I will not give him face, but if I do as he told me, I will cause trouble for myself."

Tang Yin smiled bitterly: "It's really not easy to be an official. Mr. Xie is a close friend, but... he is not inhumane in many things."

Chen Xidao: "Brother Bohu hasn't expressed your opinion yet."

Tang Yin said helplessly: "Since Shangshu Chen has made a decision, everything he says is futile, but in my opinion, it is not a good thing to directly engage in evil with Mr. Xie. It is better to follow Mr. Xie's wishes to preside over the memorial, at least let Your Majesty know the interests behind this matter, and let Your Majesty know that the gang of people in the Silis and Supervisors have their own ulterior motives."

"Yeah." Chen Xi nodded, "I didn't want to interfere in this matter, but after hearing what you said by Brother Bo Hu, it seems that I will ignore it."

Tang Yin suddenly became nervous and stammered: "Chen...Shangshu Chen, you... don't think...Ahem, I'm just talking casually..."

Tang Yin originally thought that Chen Xi would not have written such a memorial, but he casually expressed his thoughts, but unexpectedly, Chen Xi seemed to attach great importance to his opinions, or wanted to find him to be a dowry. When he was sure that Chen Xi would obey his opinions, Tang Yin couldn't help but become nervous.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Brother Bohu doesn't have to be too heart-wrenching. It's nothing to report to Your Majesty. Are there so many things to pay attention to? Even if someone thinks it is inappropriate, or Your Majesty thinks I'm meddling in other people's business, don't you have to wait until I return to the capital in the future? If I don't give Mr. Xie face, he won't let me live... In order to be easier to become an official, I have to do something I don't want to do, just pretend to coax Mr. Xie."

Chen Xi's words were somewhat disrespectful to Xie Qian. Tang Yin was very awkward when he heard them, but after thinking about them carefully, he felt that what Chen Xi said was reasonable, and being an official really had to do a lot of things against his will.

Even Chen Xi, who was the most powerful minister, had to do a lot of things against his worries, so the unhappiness he encountered in the first half of his life was not worth mentioning.

"What do you need to do?"

Tang Yin volunteered to share the worries for Chen Xi.

Chen Xi shook his head: "Brother Bo Hu is grateful for my advice. Since this matter will be implemented in the past two days, I will immediately write to Mr. Xie and go to the capital to let Your Majesty know the whole story of Jiangnan! Actually, I don't know much. If I can go to Jiangnan and see the current situation in Nanjing with my own eyes, it may be more convincing to submit the memorial. Now... it's just to follow Mr. Xie's intentions and be a young man who is keen on the knowledgeable and tactful."

...

...

Chen Xi is using practical actions to demonstrate to Tang Yin how to be an official who goes with the flow.

However, the conflict between Chen Xi and Xie Qian is almost open. If Chen Xi was really so informed and tactful, he would not have had such a quarrel with Xie Qian. Tang Yin did not think that Chen Xi was giving in to Xie Qian.

In any case, Chen Xi's soundtrack still worked.

Because Chen Xi reported Zhu Houzhao in a secret report, he could not go to the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the

Just when he wanted to make the matter directly and asked Wei Bin to leave early to Nanjing and cook the raw rice, Zhu Houzhao's imperial decree for him to meet in the Ganqing Palace had been conveyed.

The person who came to pass the order was the little twister who sang against him in this matter.

"Little Treasure, Your Majesty wants to ask about the appointment of Eunuch Wei as the eunuch in Nanjing?"

When Zhang Yuan and Xiao Taozi went to the Ganqing Palace, they wanted to find out the emperor's tone and asked, "Is it because of the secret letter from Lord Shen?"

Xiao Guozi said angrily: "What are you doing for so many questions? Don't ask us about this kind of thing. If you have the ability, just ask Your Majesty."

Zhang Yuan was a little annoyed and stared at Xiao Tiaozi and said, "Didn't we all agree that the water of the well will not violate the river? Our family didn't violate you, but just arranged for Eunuch Wei to go to Nanjing as a garrison. Why did he conspire with Zhang Yong to plot against our family?"

Xiao Taozi was surprised that Zhang Yuan told him about his private contact with Zhang Yong. He thought that everything was hidden well, but Zhang Yuan could not know, but he didn't know that Zhang Yuan was in the court and the country now, and he didn't want to be a fool who kept his eyes closed and listened.

Xiao Tiaozi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't swear."

Zhang Yuan sneered: "You and Zhang Yong plotted against you and wanted to push Ma Yongcheng to Nanjing as the garrison eunuch. It was only in the past two days that our family learned about it... Our family had known that Mr. Xie, namely Grand Secretary Yang, had asked you for some private transactions with you. Don't treat our family as a fool."

Xiao Taozi then realized that Zhang Yuan knew everything, and he no longer concealed it. He turned his body to look at Zhang Yuan: "So what? I'll let you arrange your own people, and don't let others arrange your own people?"

Zhang Yuan said: "You, you, you are a confused little thing, you don't know if someone has been used... Why do you think Zhang Yong does this? He wants to use your hand to push Ma Yongcheng up... What does it have to do with others? That is a life-and-death friend who has been on the battlefield and shared hardships! What is the relationship with you? Have you met Ma Yongcheng from beginning to end? Do you know what his position is now and will he listen to you in the future? But one thing is that Ma Yongcheng will listen to Zhang Yong in the future. Zhang Yong is now the supervisor of the Sili. Once our family is overthrown, he will be the palm print. Who will you cooperate with to knock him down?"

Xiao Tiaozi didn't speak, as if she was thinking about this issue seriously. However, when Zhang Yuan took two steps forward and looked back at Xiao Tiaozi's expression, he found that Xiao Tiaozi's face was full of disapproval.

"What a stupid ass!"

Zhang Yuan started to angrily and cursed, "I was sold and returned to the money for a lot of money. At least our family has never harmed you. We all came from the Eastern Palace. Unlike those guys who have been intriguing in the inner palace for many years, this time our family arranged for Wei Bin to go to Nanjing, and we can get a lot of benefits from it. Will you be missing by then?"

Xiao Tuozi still didn't say anything. Seeing that she was about to reach the Ganqing Palace, Zhang Yuan stopped talking and lowered his head and stepped into the palace gate with Xiao Tuozi.

...

...

As Zhang Yuan expected, Zhu Houzhao got angry.

Because Zhang Yuan lied about the importance of the eunuch in Nanjing, Zhu Houzhao called Zhang Yuan to scold him after learning the specific situation from Chen Xi. But in fact, Zhu Houzhao was not very angry and just wanted to vent the resentment that had accumulated for a long time.

The relationship between husband and wife was not harmonious, so they spread their anger on their slaves. Zhang Yuan thought so.

After Zhu Houzhao scolded him, he asked angrily: "You dog, do you know where you are wrong?"

Zhang Yuan seemed very aggrieved: "Your Majesty, I do everything according to what you said. It is because I know that this position is of great importance that I mentioned this matter to you. As for whom to be appointed, I have not decided yet, and I don't know who will be suitable for repeated weighing. I don't know why Lord Shen is going to report to criticize our family... Woo woo..."

Zhang Yuan didn't know anything else. The crying style completely copied Liu Jin's style before, and this trick was almost done every time.

Even if Zhu Houzhao is not merciful, she will be upset when attacked by noise. Once a person is irritated, he will no longer want to pay attention to the current situation. It is always beneficial for the crying person.

Zhu Houzhao said: "I will ask you, who are you going to let this Nanjing eunuch? How much benefit did he give you?"

Zhang Yuan continued to cry and wail: "I'm wronged, I'm wronged."

Zhang Yuan kept kowtowing, touching the floor with his forehead, but his actions failed to get Zhu Houzhao's mercy. This time, Zhu Houzhao had no intention of swaying her sleeves and leaving.

"No wonder someone said before that you had a bad intention. It seems that it is not groundless." Zhu Houzhao suddenly said for no reason.

Zhang Yuan immediately understood that someone had said bad things about him in front of the emperor, and this person was probably just a little knitted guy watching the fun. Only the little knitted guy had the opportunity to slander him in front of the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao said again: "You don't have to worry about the matter of the eunuch in Nanjing. I will arrange someone to take over the errands at my discretion. It will be decided in the next two days... Because the gangster Chen will quell the thieves in the Central Plains for a period of time and will go to Jiangnan immediately, so I have to send someone to take down the eunuch in Nanjing in advance and prepare for the welcome."

Zhang Yuan kowtowed: "I obey Your Majesty's orders in everything, and I will never be selfless."

"I hope you have no selfishness."
