With the assistance of Xiao Guozi, Zhang Yong successfully met Xuzhou magistrate with a group of officials.

According to the plan listed by Tang Yin before, Zhang Yong gave specific suggestions.

Although Zhang Yong's status in the court was not as good as Zhang Yuan, he was the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor and had the power to represent the emperor Zhu Ci. Therefore, local officials still had to give him face. When he heard the emperor's nonsense, he immediately followed his instructions so that Zhu Houzhao could be relieved as soon as possible.

The next morning, Zhu Houzhao took his people away and walked away.

Unlike usual, the streets and alleys near Xuzhou City have been blocked by yamen. Not only are the shops closed, even the people who usually go out to do small businesses are closed, and pedestrians are almost extinct.

Zhu Houzhao could only take people to a further place.

As for Chen Yier, she changed into men's clothing after midnight and brought her palace maids in men's clothing, hoping to find a place to buy some snacks and enjoy the scenery of early spring.

However, Chen Yier came out on this day and found that the walk was deserted around her. All the shops she had visited in the past few days were closed.

"What's going on? What happened in the city that made the merchants stop doing business?"

Although Chen Yier was born in the market, when she grew up, as her elder brother Chen Xi rose rapidly in the court, she lived a prosperous life, and did not understand the sufferings of the people. She suddenly saw the situation in front of her and was very surprised.

A palace maid said: "Maybe there is a festival in the local area, and the shopkeeper needs to close for one or two days."

Chen Yi'er's face was full of disappointment: "Why are you so disappointed? It's boring to go back now. I'm guarding the empty yard, where is there any fun..."

Just when Shen Yier was depressed, Zhang Yong came here in a eunuch uniform.

Zhang Yongsheng was afraid that the guards would misunderstand, so he put on his deacon's uniform in the palace.

The two guards stepped forward to ask, and then took Zhang Yong to Chen Yi'er.

When Zhang Yong saw Chen Yi'er, he immediately knelt down and reported to his house, saying very respectful words.

Although Chen Yi'er didn't want to see outsiders, she had been in the palace for a long time and learned that the eunuch was a royal slave. Now she was just an old servant who came to see her on her own initiative, so she didn't feel much disgusted.

Chen Yi'er asked the guards to help Zhang Yong up, and then asked, "What are you doing here? If you're fine, don't disturb me from having fun."

Zhang Yong bowed and said, "Empress, I am here because of Your Majesty's affairs... Some things have happened in the city recently, only Empress, you can resolve them..."

Chen Yier didn't know anything about Zhu Houzhao's nonsense in Xuzhou. Even if someone around him heard about it, he would not dare to gossip in front of her. Zhu Houzhao deliberately avoided the exposure of her "evil deeds" and covered them everywhere.

When Zhang Yong told the story in detail, Chen Yier's face looked extremely ugly.

In the past, Chen Yier didn't have much feelings for Zhu Houzhao, but as time went by, Chen Yier's mentality gradually matured and began to regard herself as a royal family. Even if Zhu Houzhao was not married, she had the emotion of protecting each other.

"How could he do this?"

Chen Yi'er was very angry when she heard Zhu Houzhao's devotion of her reputation, and her small fists were clenched tightly.

When Zhang Yong saw Chen Yier's reaction, he felt a little "shocked" and said to himself: "It's broken, it's broken... it won't be backfiring, right? If His Majesty knew that I came to the queen to complain, wouldn't he have to peel me off?"

Even though Zhang Yong felt that he might be in trouble, there was no way out at this time. He could only continue to bite the bullet and said, "Empress, the local officials now know that they have done something wrong and sincerely repent, but someone still needs to advise you in front of you to give your Majesty a way out."

Chen Yier frowned and said, "The local officials sent someone to greet him clearly to curry favor with him. What's wrong with this? This emperor is really hard to serve."

Zhang Yong was frightened when he heard this. He obviously felt that the queen did not respect the emperor very much, and said to himself: "The Shen family is different, even women are so domineering."

Zhang Yong said, "Queen, look..."

At this time, Zhang Yong hoped that Chen Yier could express his opinion clearly. After all, he tried his best to come here to lobby, and there should be a result.

Chen Yier said: "Since I know this, I will definitely not sit idly by. When I see him, I will tell him... This unruly and foolish monarch!"

Zhang Yong had goose bumps on his body, and suddenly realized something, and begged: "Empress, I risked my life to make a statement, hoping that Your Majesty would return to the right path... Please don't say that it was the one I told you."

"Um!?"

Chen Yier looked at Zhang Yong, thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, he is so vengeful. If he knew that it was you who said it, he would definitely make things difficult for you... Don't worry, I won't let it go."

"Thank you, thank you."

While Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief, cold sweat broke out on his body.

Chen Yier said: "There is nothing else, I'll go back first... Go and tell the local officials quickly, let them maintain order in the city, and there is no trouble, and you can't let it go just because the emperor led people to make trouble... Even if they do something wrong, I will support them and keep them alive."

Zhang Yong disagreed with Chen Yier's promise, but he quickly took the order and took the leave.

...

...

After seeing Chen Yi'er, Zhang Yong returned to the inn. He felt relieved and felt exhausted.

Just at this moment, Zang Xian came to pay a visit.

Zhang Yong told Chen Yi'er about the situation just now, and Zang Xian was a little surprised: "Eunuch Zhang is really kind. You beg the Queen not to say your name. How could you know that it was your credit when you turn back?"

Zhang Yong smiled bitterly and said, "It's good to not make mistakes in this kind of thing. Do you still want to be greedy for the achievements of heaven? You can't just focus on what you do..."

Zang Xian said: "Is that it or is Eunuch Zhang's far-sighted vision, which is admirable. Eunuch Tsang sent someone to pass on the message, saying that Your Majesty is very unhappy now and needs to find a way to vent... Eunuch Tsang asked if he wanted to say hello to the local officials and asked them to continue to choose to stand by. In short, Your Majesty felt bored for a few days and would set off for Beijing."

Zhang Yong was very angry: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Now the local officials have met it and have done everything they should do. Now they say that they will stop and leave it alone? It's too late! Let's see how the Queen tells His Majesty."

Zang Xian was stunned and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Young Master Zhang, I will go back and talk to Brother Tiao. But Eunuch Zhang... Don't blame Xiao Master for making a splash. In fact, Lord Tang's idea may not be good in some matters... Although Lord Tang is resourceful, he is obviously lacking in handling relationships with His Majesty and understanding of the affairs of the palace. If you encounter similar problems in the future, you should either discuss a complete idea with him or simply..."

Zhang Yong frowned: "Just ignore it, right?"

Zang Xian said: "I didn't say that, I just asked you to think more about it."

Zhang Yong looked at Zang Xian and knew that the other party had already found out what Tang Yin had come to see him and made suggestions before.

When it comes to the struggle between strategists, Zhang Yong couldn't express his opinion, but just nodded: "Our family knows what to do, so hurry up and reply to Mr. Tra. "

...

...

Zhu Houzhao was indeed unhappy that day.

I wanted to continue to make trouble in the city a few days ago while going to the government to complain. He even prepared to go to the state yamen to sit for an afternoon to watch the fun. I didn't expect that wherever he went, the city yamen officers followed him and cleared the streets in advance.

After noon, the huge Xuzhou city was silent, and all businesses were closed, and there were no pedestrians on the street.

Zhu Houzhao could only return disappointed.

He was originally going to call Zhang Yuan to talk about food, drink and have fun at night, but Chen Yier rushed in with great momentum.

Since Chen Yi'er's southern tour, she has been living in seclusion and never came to meet her. This time she accidentally saw Chen Yi'er, Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised, but after she saw her little wife's expression clearly, she felt that nothing good happened.

"Queen, you..."

Zhu Houzhao was about to speak, but Chen Yi'er glared at him coldly and forced the words behind him back.

When Zhu Houzhao saw that Chen Yi'er was about to get angry, she quickly waved her hand: "You all retreat."

Zhang Yuan had already entered the door and was about to report the holy news. When he heard the order, he had to withdraw with the palace maids and eunuchs and then close the door.

Zhu Houzhao walked up to Chen Yi'er and asked with a look of shame: "Queen, who is annoying you? Tell me, I'll vent my anger for you."

Chen Yier pouted and looked at Zhu Houzhao coldly: "I heard you have been having a lot of fun these days..."

One sentence made Zhu Houzhao unable to hold on to face, but he did not dare to look at Chen Yier directly because he knew that he had been making trouble these days and had lost the majesty of the royal family.

Chen Yier said, "You are the most dignified emperor. You are like a bandit, taking people to the city to rob a house. Could it be that you don't want to be an emperor and change your career to become a bandit?"

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly explained to himself: "Queen, where did you hear some gossip? Things are not what you imagined. I have a deeper meaning in doing this."

Chen Yi'er said disdainfully: "The meaning is that the local officials are too attentive when they greet you, and they cannot let you go out in a vain and drink and have fun as they were in Huai'an Prefecture and Yangzhou Prefecture? In this way, you should vent your anger on the innocent people in the city? Even if the local officials are wrong, what do you do with the people? Besides, what are the local officials wrong?"

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a moment.

Chen Yi'er still refused to give up and continued to scold: "As an emperor, he has such a fickle temper. What do you think of yourself? If you are not happy, you will have to have trouble with you? What is this a fool?"

If someone else rashly accuses him, Zhu Houzhao would have been angry long ago, and it is possible that he would kill someone.

But now Chen Yi'er did this. He wanted to get angry but didn't dare. He stood there at a loss, trying to explain for himself but found that he was exhausted.

Chen Yier stood up and said with her hips: "If you have a conscience, go and tell the officials in Xuzhou immediately that you will not disturb the place in the future, and this matter will be revealed... Or just leave early tomorrow morning to return to Beijing!"

Zhu Houzhao said: "Empress, wouldn't it be too shameless if I do what you said?"

Chen Yier glared at Zhu Houzhao: "For your own face, you must continue to make the people of Xuzhou suffer, right?"

Zhu Houzhao said anxiously: "It's time to not disturb the people... I will take people to the government to cause trouble, so it will not hinder the people's livelihood... You sit down first, let's discuss it."

While speaking, Zhu Houzhao came over to help Shen Yi'er, but found that his wife had a bad look and didn't even have the courage to move forward, because Zhu Houzhao had suffered a lot before and was very afraid of it.

Zhu Houzhao didn't think it was too strong, but every time Chen Yi'er could take out something like a hairpin to make his skin suffer. Over time, he regarded Chen Yi'er as a thorny rose, and could only be viewed from a distance and not played with.

"I'll tell you again! Send someone to say hello to the local government immediately... Otherwise, I will never forgive you for your whole life!" Chen Yi'er shouted.

It was not a threat at first, but when Zhu Houzhao heard this, she seemed to be wearing a tight curse, drooping her head, looking like she admits her guilty, and said weakly: "Don't calm down, we have a long-term plan."

Chen Yi'er said angrily: "Don't think I don't know you want to slow down the army? I promised me and went out to make trouble in a blink of an eye. If you don't do this immediately, I'll take a boat south in the afternoon and complain to my elder brother."

Zhu Houzhao heard this and said with a bitter look, "Queen, don't be too anxious. Some things are not as easy as you think... I gave up so much and admit my mistakes with local officials in Xuzhou. Isn't that the same as killing me?"

Chen Yi'er stared at Zhu Houzhao without saying a word. Finally, Zhu Houzhao finally admitted her fear and sighed, "Well, I'll talk to someone to discuss how to solve the problem... You don't have the idea of ​​leaving Xuzhou. Isn't it okay for us and my wife to leave together?"

Chen Yi'er stopped listening to Zhu Houzhao's explanation and walked straight out, as if she was extremely disappointed with Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao chased to the door, and Chen Yi'er had already slammed the door first. When Zhu Houzhao wanted to chase him, he saw a bunch of people standing at the door. He subconsciously safeguarded the dignity of his emperor and would not chase after him.

Zhu Houzhao finally gave up his revenge on local officials and sent Xiao Guozi to the prefecture yard to say hello, asking the government to send people to restore order in the city.

After giving instructions, Zhu Houzhao sat back on the chair, with a calm face and said nothing.
To be continued...
