Chapter 211 Entering the Leopard Room at Night

The case that originally had no relationship with Chen Xi was found, but He Jian took the initiative to come to him, so Chen Xi could not stand by and watch.

Xie Qian can ignore it, but Chen Xi cannot. In the future, if he wants to implement political and economic system reform, he must obtain more support from ministers. He Jian, the Minister of Personnel, came to ask for help, which has given him a lot of face. If Chen Xi refuses, he will not talk about He Jian in the future. Other ministers in the court will not think of him when they encounter any problems.

Chenxi Road: "I have heard some of the bad deeds of Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou. What I know is not very comprehensive. I wonder if Shangshu He can introduce it in detail?"

Having said that, Chen Xi actually knows more than He Jian, but he doesn't know which ones have been exposed now and which ones are yet to be discovered.

He Jian nodded with relief: "Just be willing to help, why don't I sit down and I'll tell you one by one later?"

He Jian has enough patience. As long as Chen Xi is willing to help, it will be good news for him.

Perhaps Chen Xi's youthful and vigorous spirit is not enough to order all officials in the court, but as long as he can see Zhu Houzhao, it is enough.

After telling the Zhang brothers in detail about their bad deeds, He Jian expressed his concerns: "... So graceful, almost everyone in the court now knows that the relatives of the foreigners do many evil deeds, but there is no means of counter-attack... The two marquises are royal relatives, and His Majesty does not issue an order to deal with them, so the court officials can only be helpless, and the two relatives of the foreigners act more unscrupulously."

Although Zhang Heling did not do as many evil things as Zhang Yanling, in the minds of court officials, the brothers had long been classified as one type of person. One person did evil and both of them were damaged.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "He Jian talks about the matter in front of me, and does not mention the situation when he went to see Xie Qian before. It seems that he does not want to intensify the conflict between me and Mr. Xie."

Chen Xi asked deliberately: "I wonder what Master Xie thinks about this?"

"Um!?"

He Jian's expression was a little embarrassed, but he was a mature spirit and easily brought this problem over. "Gei Xie is still hesitating and watching for the time being. After all, the cabinet cannot deal with the empress dowager's two younger brothers... The most difficult thing now is to report the matter to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to make the decision."

Chen Xi nodded slightly: "It is indeed the most straightforward way to listen to the case, but has He Shangshu thought that if he doesn't have the chance to meet the saint?"

He Jian said: "Why is the matter with people... Only the civil and military officials in the court can be saints at any time and anywhere. Your Majesty is grateful to the teacher and students. When encountering things that you don't understand, you like to discuss with you, the gentleman... If you can't come out, why don't you?"

In order to achieve his goal, He Jian did not hesitate to put a high hat on Chen Xi, and at the same time explained why there were so many famous ministers in the court, but the old ministers came to find Chen Xi.

It’s not because Chen Xi has a deep qualification or high prestige, but because he has resources that others do not have... the power to meet the saints at any time.

Chen Xi frowned and thought, repeatedly considering the gains and losses behind this matter.

It is not simply a matter of "responsible for crimes". The Zhang brothers committed many evil deeds and harmed the people, which was so angry that the heavens and the people were resentful. However, due to their noble status, it was not possible for one or two yamen to deal with it. One move could affect the whole body. The stability of the capital camp involves the stability of the capital and even the court. Only the emperor can decide everything.

"Oh, this is a hot potato. Xie Yuqiao doesn't accept it. Why should I show off my power?" Chen Xi gave up a little.

"Zhihou, you...?"

He Jian was a little anxious when he saw Chen Xi not answering for a long time.

Chen Xi gritted his teeth and nodded, saying: "Leave a copy of the impeachment memorial, and we will meet the emperor at the right time and submit it to you."

...

...

Chen Xi finally took on this tricky errand. In fact, he was also very confused and knew how much pressure he was about to face.

He sent He Jian out and watched the carriage go away, Chen Xi felt heavy in his heart. He knew that He Jian's visit would soon spread. At that time, not only did the ministers know that Shen Zhihou wanted to impeach the Zhang brothers, but the relatives of the foreigners would also get news, be vigilant, and put pressure on him.

Back in the study, Chen Xi sat down and thought carefully: "Unless I met the saint overnight, there will definitely be forces from all sides to dissuade me next. Not only are the foreign relatives, but also those ministers who are worried about changes in the capital. It is very likely that the Queen Mother and Xie Yuqiao will also send people to negotiate."

The more Chen Xi thought about it, the more he felt that it was inappropriate. Since the situation was serious, it would be better to go directly to the leopard room to see Zhu Houzhao, so as to avoid the long night and dreams.

Chen Xi called Zhu Qi and ordered: "Dad Zhu, arrange the carriage, I am going to go to the leopard room immediately."

"Master, it's getting late, why don't you wait for tomorrow..." Zhu Qi made a suggestion.

Chen Xi shook his head: "Some things will cause changes if they hesitate a little, especially if I have promised others... If we do not take action before the forces of all parties fail to react, it is unknown whether we will have a chance to meet the saint tomorrow!"

When Zhu Qi heard Chen Xi talk about the problem so critically, he didn't dare to delay it, so he immediately went to prepare a car. He didn't want to know how Chen Xi was in the face of the saint. In his eyes, his master was much more powerful than the ministers in the court. It was easy to go to see the emperor who had not been in power for a long time in the middle of the night.

Chen Xi took a car out, and the news quickly reached the ears of civil and military officials in the capital.

After He Jian, the Minister of Personnel, came to visit, Chen Xi immediately took a car to the leopard room. The situation was obvious without asking. Chen Xi should have told Emperor Zhengde about the evil deeds of the Zhang brothers.

The Shouning Hou Mansion sent an eyeliner to keep a close eye on He Jian and the officials of the Sansi Yamen. After discovering this situation, he quickly reported it, and Zhang Heling received the news as soon as possible.

"...what, Shen Zhihou went to the leopard room?" When Zhang Heling heard the bad news, he felt a huge crisis coming.

"It's been half an hour since I left. I'm afraid Shen Zhihou has arrived at the door of the Leopard Room at this time." said the housekeeper who was responsible for collecting information from the Shouning Marquis' Mansion, "But it is still unknown whether he can be allowed to come in and meet the saint."

Zhang Heling's face was gloomy: "It's definitely not possible for others, but it's easy for Shen Zhihou to face the saint. His Majesty arranged so many errands for him. Now he is like Liu Jin who entered and left the leopard room and went in and out of his own house! Hurry up and notify the second master and let him come over to discuss matters!"

"Master, it's getting late now..." The housekeeper hesitated a little, for fear that he would be blamed by Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Heling said angrily: "It is related to the life and death of the Zhang family, so how can we care about the weather sooner or later? Forget it, I will go to see the unscrupulous brother in person and prepare the car quickly... No, prepare for a fast horse!"

"Master, my family is also a royal relative. Even if Shen Zhihou is trusted by His Majesty, what can I do to me, Zhang?" The housekeeper disagreed.

Influenced by Zhang Yanling's usual domineering style, both the people from the Shouning Marquis Mansion and the Jianchang Marquis Mansion all looked arrogant and domineering.

In fact, Zhang Heling is used to being arrogant and domineering, but compared with his younger brother, he is just a small witch, so the censor impeached his brothers at the same time instead of impeaching Zhang Yanling alone.

Zhang Heling was clear-headed and quickly clarified the current situation: "What Xie Yuqiao dared not do, but Shen Zhihou had no problem, just like he was dealing with Liu Jin at the beginning, and he would kill with one blow as soon as he made a move."

"Shen Zhihou wants to implement the new policy, and he cannot tolerate the royal relatives like us who are in trouble! For him, impeachment of my Zhang family will be beneficial but not harmful. Why not try it? After all, success can lead to one opponent..."

...

...

After the news of Chen Xi going to the Leopard House to meet the saint, Zhang Mao also learned about the British Duke's Mansion at the first time, and the father-in-law Xia Ru, who was a guest at his house, also learned about it.

Although Xia Ru did not have much status in the court, he was the queen's father. As his son's old Taishan, his status was extremely noble. After Xia Ru arrived in the capital, he served in the Governor's Office of the Five Army. How could a literati know military affairs? He could only regard Zhang Mao as his backer. Zhang Mao also hoped that one day Zhu Houzhao's prodigal son would turn back and get close to the queen. In this way, Xia Ru could become a real father-in-law, and the military leaders of the Governor's Office of the Five Army were considered to be around the emperor.

"...Shen Zhihou went to meet the saint, was he guilty of impeaching the two uncles?" Xia Ru didn't know much about the whole story, so he looked at Zhang Mao and asked.

Seeing the confidant general who had passed the information, Zhang Mao returned to the flower hall where the guests were gathered, walked to the game of Go that had not been finished, Shi Shiran sat down and replied:

"He Shiguang may not get the desired result when he visited Xie Yuqiao, so he went to see Shen Zhihou again... Alas, some things happened in the end. Others can turn a blind eye to Zhang's evil deeds, but Shen Zhihou will not."

"Why is this?" Xia Ru was still confused.

Zhang Mao said: "Thank you Yuqiao and Zhang's relatives have always been in good terms. When the country was not prosperous, Yu Qiao once went to the palace to pay homage to the queen mother and asked for an order to determine the world. Later, he used the power of the queen mother to attack the eunuch party... Now Zhang's crime is punished, and Yu Qiao can only stand up due to his charity. Yu Qiao and Zhihou have become dirty because of his different political views. When Yu Qiao is not doing anything, Zhihou will stand up..."

Xia Ru flattered her mouth and shook her head with a smile: "The two of them are in-laws, so what can we fight for? Yu Qiao was always stern, probably because she was worried that she would not be able to bring the two uncles to justice, and that she would not be able to get out of the Taiwan Strait?"

Zhang Mao glanced at Xia Ru and said, "You are still the uncle of the Zhang family? Now it is not the last emperor... His Majesty has been ascending the throne for several years. After the wedding, the Xia family has never been revitalized. However, the Zhang family continues to flourish. Now the power of the Beijing camp is still in the hands of the Zhang brothers... Are you willing to do this?"

Xia Ru's face was filled with smiles, and he was holding a chess piece in his hand. He couldn't help but lose his mind when he heard this, and the chess piece "broken" fell to the ground.

Zhang Mao continued: "Others say that being too arrogant is just to prevent the problem from getting worse. He is usually cautious and rarely comes forward. But if something happens, he will be much more courageous than Xie Yuqiao and He Shiguang... He saw that the major forces in the court have increased and deteriorated, and Zhang's family has been arrogant for many years, so it should be suppressed, so he is not surprised at all when he comes forward this time."

"I don't know what the result will be?"

Xia Ru asked eagerly.

Zhang Mao smiled bitterly and said, "So what if you are convicted? Your Majesty can kill his uncle? This case is just bullying others on the surface, and it is not a big deal in the royal family. Even the removal of the title may not be possible... As long as the Zhang brothers hand over the jurisdiction of the Beijing camp, Your Majesty will probably be done with a few words! The wise and wise emperor are so tolerant of the foreign relatives, let alone the current emperor?"

Xia Ru shook his head helplessly: "What's the point? My Xia family just achieved its current status by taking advantage of the situation. Now the queen has nothing to come out. Even if the uncle of Zhang loses power, it is not our Xia family's turn to take over. However, Mr. Zhang must stabilize the Governor's Office of the Five Army and must not slack off."

Zhang Mao sighed: "Let's see how Zhihou's face turned out to be. I really want to know how Zhihou will present this matter to His Majesty!"

...

...

The night is dark.

Zhu Houzhao was watching the beast-fighting performance in the leopard room with bright lights as bright as day. In the cage on the central high platform of the courtyard, two tigers were biting each other, and the storm was everywhere. Zhu Houzhao was so happy that Xiao Tiaozi hurried to the second floor beast-watching platform, and came to Zhu Houzhao's ear and whispered a few times.

"What, Mr. Chen is coming to Leopard Room now?"

Zhu Houzhao was surprised and turned around and looked at Xiao Twist.

The biggest difference between Chen Xi coming to the Leopard Room and other ministers is that someone comes in and reports, and Zhu Houzhao will pay attention to it. If someone changes, the eunuchs will not dare to come in and disturb the emperor's carriage, so as not to feel unhappy for themselves.

Xiao Guozi replied: "Mr. Shen seems to have something important..."

"Did you say why?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Xiao Tiaozi shook his head, Zhu Houzhao glanced at the bloody Colosseum, shook his head, and said with a little disappointment: "It just so happens that I don't want to watch these uninnovative performances. Make arrangements for me. I'm going to drink and watch Mei Ji dance swordsman later... Make arrangements well, I'll go see Mr. Chen now."

Then Zhu Houzhao took Xiao Tiaozi downstairs. Qian Ning and Sima Zhenren on the first floor opposite were surprised to see all this from afar.

Qian Ning asked, "What's wrong with Your Majesty? The two tigers on the field were biting very hard, why did they suddenly stop looking? Could it be that something happened?"

"Who knows."

Sima Zhenren picked up the wine glass on the table in front of him, raised his head and drank it all.

Since Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, Sima Zhenren has been with the emperor. He has become unfamiliar with these performances in the leopard room. Instead, it is because of the fine wine and food that tempt him even more. The women around Zhu Houzhao basically cannot appreciate such barbaric and bloody performances. Usually, those who accompany Zhu Houzhao to watch the beast fighting are Sima Zhenren and other few men and beast trainers in the leopard room.

Even Qian Ning was very palpitations when he saw the bloody biting scene and didn't dare to come.

When Zhu Houzhao appeared at the gate of the courtyard, Qian Ning and Sima Zhenren quickly stood up and prepared to go over and ask what was going on. As a result, before he could come to the emperor, Xiao Tiaozi came to stop him.

Sima Zhenren asked politely: "Dude-in-law, the beast fighting is at the wonderful place. Why doesn't Your Majesty look at it halfway?"

Xiao Tiaozi said: "Your Majesty has something important to leave... Your Majesty will explain that you must arrange singing and dancing next. The key is to watch Mei Ji's sword dance. Before His Majesty comes back, you must prepare the wine and food and reopen the banquet."

Qian Ning said: "Then...what should I do?"

Xiao Tiaozi looked at Qian Ning with a slanted glance and shook his head: "Your Majesty didn't say whether you would be with him, but you can't accompany him. You may be sure what Your Majesty will do at the table. It's not that suitable for you to watch."

Sima Zhenren smiled and said, "I understand, understand."

"knew!"

Although Qian Ning responded, he felt angry: "Why can't I go and have fun with His Majesty? One of you is a eunuch, the other is pretending to be a ghost, and it's similar to the eunuch. But I've been ridiculous with His Majesty. Can you compare with me?"

Xiao Zhuozi said to Qian Ning: "Didn't Qian Hu say that he wants to find a beauty for His Majesty? I wonder if he is ready?"

Qian Ning said: "Your Majesty has brought me one by one of the beauties I sent in the past few days. The father-in-law has been worried. The villain has arranged people to search for beauties everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, but there are no new discoveries yet."

Xiao Taozi felt a little unhappy when he heard Qian Ning's tone was not kind, but he didn't make it happen, and waved his hand and said impatiently, "Since that's the case, then hurry up and arrange singing and dancing. Do we have to worry about everything? Our family is going to serve His Majesty, you can go and work!"

Xiao Tiaozi's usual environment determines that he cannot treat the people around Zhu Houzhao with a normal mind. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. If Xiao Tiaozi does not show such arrogant aura, others will look down on him.

After Xiao Twist left, Qian Ning felt angry and muttered, "What's the matter!"

Sima Zhenren glanced at Qian Ning, his face filled with smiles, obviously understanding the open and secret struggle between Qian Ning and Xiao Tiaozi... He didn't want to get involved rashly when it came to the question of who Zhu Houzhao favored the most.

Shortly after Qian Ning returned to the capital, he was favored by Zhu Houzhao because of his contribution to the beauty. The conflict between him and the originally favored little kid quickly intensified.
