[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

On the fifth day of April in the second year of Zhengde, it was the first time Jiao Shizhi went to court.

Standing behind the emperor, Jiao Shizhi turned sideways to avoid those kneeling ceremonies, even so, standing above the palace and looking down at those kneeling figures, he still felt a surge of pride and pride in his heart.

Mou Bin raised his eyebrows at him, with an inexplicable look on his face, and then cast his eyes on other people. Jiao Shizhi just pursed his lips and smiled, knowing that it was just Mou Bin who was worried that he was going to court for the first time, and that he would easily go wrong.It's rare to see Mu Bin's character so awkward.

Most of Jiao Shizhi's previous acquaintance with civil and military officials was in private, and he had never participated in the Fengtianmen's court meeting.Standing behind the emperor for the first time and watching the ministers arguing with red faces, it really shocked Jiao Shizhi a lot.However, after referring to the dispute in the Wenhua Palace, I feel that it is nothing.

Most of the courtiers knew that Mr. Liu Ge almost fainted in the Wenhua Palace yesterday, but from the mouths of several adults who rushed to visit Mr. Liu last night, they did not hear a single word about the emperor. Originally, there would be more or less criticism of the emperor today, but because of this, it was as quiet as water, which made Zhu Houzhao, who had been waiting for the battle, a little confused.

After going to court, he pondered all the way, and finally couldn't help but asked Jiao Shizhi, "Is this why you keep pulling me?"

Zhu Houzhao's pulling him here means that Jiao Shizhi has been reversing his unrestrained character, hoping that he will have a good relationship with the courtiers. Although Zhu Houzhao occasionally controls him, sometimes when his temper comes up, he often hates the sky Resentfully without any scruples.

It should be the same today, even though he is the emperor, but Liu Jian is old, he is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and even the assistant minister of the former emperor Tuogu, he was so angry that the emperor passed out, is this okay? !

Shangshu!Absolutely have to go to Shu!

But what is rare is that Liu Jian didn't hear any bad words about the emperor from Liu Jian's mouth, not that he would say these words himself.But whoever is an official in the court is not a good person. The people who come to visit only need to see Liu Jian's behavior, combined with the emperor's character, and they can find out the whole story when they put it together. Why do they need to speak up?So today's facts are extremely rare.

Jiao Shizhi nodded with a smile, "Your Majesty, if it weren't for the kindness of Mr. Liu Ge, today's matter would not be so simple." He didn't say anything more, because the Emperor himself feels good about some situations, otherwise no matter how much others say Also to no avail.

The emperor is smart, so he must be able to see more than him.

It's just that Jiao Shizhi vaguely remembered the words and sentences that he had foreseen in his heart when he saw the emperor this morning, and secretly sighed that everything could not be slapped with a single slap.

The emperor even told people not to kneel, worrying about their bodies.As a result, in the eyes of the subordinates, this is the evidence that the emperor violated the law and discipline, and for this reason, it is not the emperor. Even normal people will find it absurd when they hear this statement.It is conceivable how poor Zhu Houzhao's relationship with civil and military officials was at that time, so that even such a simple move could bring out so many malicious speculations.

According to the rules, when Zhu Houzhao was approving the memorials, Jiao Shizhi needed to patrol outside with the other Jinyiwei. However, Zhu Houzhao had discovered this small mistake a long time ago, so he acted first, and directly found out the original two deputies, and ordered them to each other. After completing the task, Jiao Shizhi can sit back and enjoy the success.

Jiao Shizhi watched the emperor say a few words casually, which made his two deputies immediately become high-spirited and faintly hostile, feeling helpless.If the emperor doesn't intervene, he is planning to communicate clearly with the two deputies so that they don't hinder each other when they are doing things. Well, it's good now, so don't talk about it.

Zhu Houzhao let Jiao Shizhi watch with a calm face, the speed of his hands was not slow, and the speed of correction was as fast as ever.At first, Jiao Shizhi wanted to avoid suspicion, but he finally couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, did you read through such a long memorial at a glance?" Now when Jiao Shizhi talks to the Emperor, he tries to avoid those things Words he doesn't like.

"Of course not." Zhu Houzhao said casually, and immediately changed the memorial in his hand, "These civil servants seem to spend no money on pen, ink, paper and inkstone when they write the notebooks. It is obvious that things that can be explained clearly in a few tens are just The flattery at the beginning can write me a thousand or two words, it's all nonsense, a waste of time!"

Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips, thinking about the emperor's irritable glance at ten lines again and again, painfully picking out the key words in it, somehow felt that the emperor like this was very cute, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

A moment later, he stared at Zhu Houzhao's constantly waving right hand in a daze, and was suddenly startled.

He thinks the emperor is cute?Relying on the concealment of his current position, he scanned Zhu Houzhao up and down, and deeply felt that he was blind just now.The current emperor is over seventeen years old, when Qing Yang was young, he must be so cute that his head twitched just now!

"Appropriate?"

"Ah?" Jiao Shizhi seemed to hear the emperor calling him, and quickly answered.Looking up, I saw the emperor leaning back in the chair lazily, looking at him with doubts in his eyes, "Did you just wander off, what were you thinking about?"

Jiao Shizhi smiled and said: "I was just thinking about yesterday's personnel arrangement, but I didn't expect to be fascinated."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He reached out and handed the memorial spread out on the table towards him, "See what's wrong with this?"

Jiao Shizhi took it over and took a look, only to find that it was Liu Jin's memorial. He looked at the front page of the memorial. The color of the memorial was different from that of ordinary memorials, and it should have been handed in through a special channel.

He read the entire memorial carefully, and to his surprise, Liu Jin's handwriting was beautiful and well written.And the above content is somewhat related to the topic they discussed some time ago.

Jiao Shizhi closed the memorial, thought for a moment before opening his mouth cautiously: "Your Majesty, is Liu Jin planning to request orders for King Ning and other princes?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, took out another memorial from the bottom, spread it out casually, and clicked on the name at the bottom, "Look here again."

Jiao Shizhi stepped forward a few steps, looked at it with his head, and was surprised to find that it was Qian Ning's memorial.Similar to Liu Jin, his memorials are not ordinary excerpts, but the two are different and belong to different systems.After carefully reading the brochure, Jiao Shizhi frowned slightly, "This Master Qian also means the same?"

Qian Ning is one of Zhu Houzhao's trusted subordinates in the past two years, and now he is Jin Yiwei Qianhu.Jiao Shizhi had also seen him in and out of the court when he was visiting, he was a very handsome man.

"It seems that my uncles have a lot of contact with these people." Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, and he seemed to be not unhappy.

Jiao Shizhi tilted his head and asked: "Your Majesty, we had guessed before that Zhang Qiaoniang's matter was related to the feudal lords, and now these vassal kings have gone to the echelon to ask for the restoration of the previously abolished guards. Maybe some of them are fishing in troubled waters."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, showing approval, "That's for sure. The imperial city has undergone such major changes in the past six months. If that person doesn't know that I guessed his identity, he is really an idiot."

Jiao Shizhi looked at the smile on the emperor's mouth, then saw his cold eyes, and sighed in his heart, Zhang Qiaoniang's incident rarely caused the emperor to stumble, and he didn't protect him.After Zhang Qiaoniang woke up a few months ago, she was diagnosed and treated by the imperial physicians, and it was confirmed that she had indeed forgotten most of her memories, and even her own name, only her surname was Zhang.Zhu Hou took care of the matter that she had treated Queen Mother Zhang kindly, and sent her back to the Zhang family after rewarding her.

This thread is completely broken.

Zhu Houzhao was depressed about this matter.Now the memorial of Liu Jin, Qian Ning and others brought this matter to his eyes again.

"Is the emperor going to agree?" Jiao Shizhi asked.

Zhu Houzhao touched his chin, and said with a low smile: "Yes, why not. But since there are so many princes who are planning to recover, it is not conducive to Sheji's comfort to recover all of them at once, so we can only recover half of them to see the situation. If conditions permit, you can let go of the other half's shackles."

The emperor spoke seriously, but Jiao Shizhi, who was listening beside him, had a smile on his brow.

Although Zhu Houzhao's strategy is simple, it is because he directly saw through the key point.There must be people who have been spying on the imperial city for the past two years. Since they couldn't tell the difference, they randomly divided all the princes into two groups, one side gave guards, and the other side didn't.Under such circumstances, if that person happened to be among those who gave the guard, even though he got what he wished, he would have to endure the jealous attacks of several other princes who did not get it.If that person is on the side that didn't get it, he can only count himself as unlucky.

Jiao Shizhi thought about it again and again, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, although this is feasible, there are still some inappropriate things. If you use the name of guards to recruit soldiers in private, it will be bad for you."

Zhu Houzhao stood up with a light smile, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the clear sky outside the window and said, "No problem, is it true that Jin Yiwei is a free eater? It's a good time to send an order to order Jin Yiwei from all over the world to always pay attention to the movements of the vassal kings , regardless of the size of the distance, all recorded one by one!"

Jiao Shizhi nodded, went out to give instructions on this matter, and sent someone to inform the commander Mu Bin.

When Jiao Shizhi came back, Zhu Houzhao suddenly said: "Shizhi, I suddenly remembered something. A few days ago, Li Dongyang asked me to resign, but I refused. When you are free, help me find out what happened. What's the matter, I remember when he was young and strong."

Jiao Shizhi looked at the emperor silently, you have the nerve to call Mr. Li young and strong. Compared with the emperor, Li Dongyang is indeed approaching his thirties.Jiao Shizhi kept this matter in mind, and planned to pull out the recent information about Li Dongyang and read it again.

In the evening, after Zhu Houzhao finished his dinner, he planned to visit Empress Dowager Zhang at the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Jiao Shizhi naturally went with him, but when he got to the door, he heard the emperor say: "Shizhi, I will go in by myself." That's it, you don't have to go in with me as you walk around outside."

Facing Jiao Shizhi's disapproving gaze, he sighed softly, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Recently, my mother's temper is not very good, I plan to have some thoughtful words with her, just in such a short time If something goes wrong, just wait for me outside." In fact, Zhu Houzhao wanted to make Jiao Shizhi feel free, but it was impossible for him to leave, so he would save time for talking nonsense.

Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips, took a step back, and watched the emperor walk into the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Of course he knew what Queen Mother Zhang was anxious about recently.

Apart from the relationship between the emperor and the Zhang family, there is only the emperor's marriage.

Zhu Houzhao, who is now 17 years old, not to mention the big event of marrying a wife, there is not even a caring person in the palace. How can this not make Queen Mother Zhang feel anxious, and frequently call Zhu Houzhao to ask a few words.

Jiao Shizhi heaved a sigh of relief, and stood outside the door waiting. After standing for a long time, his expression became a little dazed, and he began to think about more things.

From that day until now, the relationship between him and the emperor has been standing like this.

Jiao Shizhi didn't mean to agree, and the emperor didn't mean to force it. It seemed that the current situation was fine, but Jiao Shizhi always felt that something was wrong.

The emperor has repeatedly rejected Queen Mother Zhang's request to choose a queen. Isn't it a hint?

Not long after, Zhu Houzhao came out of the house with a gloomy face. It seemed that he was being talked about by Queen Mother Zhang, and his face was not very good-looking.When he saw Jiao Shizhi, he smiled and said, "Why does it look like he is in a daze, are you extremely tired? Then let's go back first."

Jiao Shizhi raised his eyebrows, "Does the emperor have other plans?"

"If you're okay now, I do have other plans." Zhu Houzhao's starry eyes were shining brightly, as if broken light fell into his eyes, which made Jiao Shizhi afraid to look directly at him.

"What is the emperor planning to do?" Jiao Shizhi asked.

This is to follow the emperor's will.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he snapped his fingers. Lehua rushed up behind him, and walked between them a few steps, "Your Majesty, the matter has been arranged, and we only need to wait for Master Jiao's wishes."

Jiao Shizhi looked at the two of them in doubt, and suddenly thought of a guess in his mind, and when he caught the emperor's sight, he came to the conclusion, and said angrily and funnyly: "The emperor actually used me as a shield, it's really shocking." I'm sad."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "If you don't agree, it's fine. You can choose one to accompany me to the Xishan horse race the day after tomorrow."

Jiao Shizhi pondered, horse racing in Xishan is definitely not as simple as the emperor said, just based on his current appearance, let alone horse racing, it is more likely to be hunting.As for what the emperor means now...

"It's still today." Jiao Shizhi sighed and was pulled into the range of his accomplices by the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "I knew Shizhi wouldn't treat me that way." Jiao Shizhi looked at the helpless forehead beside him, and from the emperor's appearance, he could vaguely see what he looked like back then, as if after so many years, he was still the same. No change.

What does Zhu Houzhao want to do?

Naturally, it is out of the palace.

"Those old guys didn't let me out, what's the matter? I still came out." Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes and was overjoyed when he took the first step out of the imperial city.It seemed that the most important thing to him was not leaving the palace, but being able to slap the courtiers hard.

Jiao Shizhi watched helplessly from behind, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, you only have an hour and a half to go back and forth. If you haven't finished what you have to do when the time comes, I will still take you back."

Zhu Houzhao restrained his smile, and instantly turned into a calm young man, "I don't need to say too much, I know. Now go to Liu's mansion first, he was so angry yesterday, I don't know if he got angry for good or bad. "

Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips. In this way, wouldn't he be exposing himself at the very beginning?

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, and said playfully, "I'll see, if this is the case, what else can they say!"

Jiao Shizhi couldn't help laughing, "Isn't His Majesty's action just to get angry with Mr. Ge and the others?"

Zhu Houzhao took the lead and walked in front, raised his hand and waved it back, and laughed loudly: "Shizhi thinks too much!"

It was night, the air was warm and cool, with a bit of summer heat, the sky was full of stars, looking into the distance as if falling into the sky, eyes full of starlight.Crowds of people come and go on the street, all of them are full of smoke, and the big red lanterns are raised on half of them, reflecting a series of festive smiles.

Zhu Houzhao had no intention of riding a horse from the beginning, but now he was walking through the crowd with great interest, and everything he saw was unusually novel.Jiao Shizhi took a step back and asked the handsome man who was also following behind, "Hasn't the emperor been out of the palace before?"

Even if you don't go to many places, you shouldn't be as ignorant as you are now, as if you don't know anything.

Qian Ning replied cautiously: "Emperor...Huang Ye only went to a few fixed places a few times before, and did not walk on the street." When he relaxed, he was more reckless than Liu Jin and the others, and dared to take the emperor for a walk on the street.

Back then Liu Jin didn't bring the emperor to the market, not because he couldn't help it, but because he didn't dare at all.If there are so many people in the middle of the emperor to make a mistake, a few heads are not enough for them to lose.

The street was bustling with people, and it was very lively before the curfew time.After leaving the Yudao, the small stalls on the side of the road made Zhu Houzhao a little reluctant to leave, and he bought a lot of things in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that Qian Ning was almost full of things, Jiao Shizhi thought that the emperor had already stuffed a long box for Qian Ning before he came out, so he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the emperor's wrist, and said in a low voice: "Master , It's been three quarters of an hour, if you go on shopping, it will be too late."

Jiao Shizhi meant something, and Zhu Houzhao was dragged away reluctantly by Jiao Shizhi, staring greedily at the sugar figurine on the street corner and said: "I'll buy another one, Shizhi, you ask me to buy another one..." He pointed his finger Squeezing Shizhi's cuff and shaking it, Jiao Shizhi couldn't help his obsession, and finally let him buy it.

He and Qian Ning followed behind the young emperor with a helpless expression, watching him stare at the sugar figure grandfather with great interest and make a Tianlong with claws and teeth.

Zhu Hou looked after it for a long time, pointed to the paw and said, "Why is there one missing?"

The uncle said cheerfully: "Sir, you rarely go out to buy things by yourself, right? The dragon is the symbol of the emperor, so naturally one less claw should be made."

Zhu Houzhao nodded thoughtfully, bit off the faucet with one bite, and signaled Qian Ning to pay back the money with his eyes. Jiao Shizhi stopped Qian Ning's movement, and took out a few pennies from his arms with a low sigh, "Master, you Just don't torment him, didn't you see that his hands are full of things now?"

After finally pulling the emperor away from there, the group finally headed in the right direction.Halfway along the road, Jiao Shizhi suddenly thought of something, and looked at the things in Qian Ning's hand with a strange expression. Could it be that the emperor intends to give these things to Mr. Liu Ge?He remembered that although the emperor visited a lot of places just now, the things he could buy were a little...

Seeing the emperor striding forward, Jiao Shizhi could only sigh deeply, feeling a little pain in his forehead.

Arriving in front of Liu's residence, Jiao Shizhi suddenly stopped, realizing that he had forgotten an important matter.

The concierge of the Liu residence knew him!

Jiao Shizhi smiled bitterly in his heart, and suddenly fell into a dilemma, but he couldn't stop moving forward.

Seeing that the emperor had already reached the door and was stopped by the porter, Jiao Shizhi was about to step forward, but Zhu Houzhao said in a clear voice: "I am Zhu Shou, you can report your name directly if you wait, your master will not." Blame you for waiting."

The concierge looked at each other, very embarrassed.The Liu family's family style is very strict, and most of the concierges follow the rules and do not do anything that bullies them.The surname Zhu is the surname of the country, so it should be accommodating.But now the old man is resting in bed, the son is still young, and the wife is a female family member, this...

In the midst of a dilemma, one of the gatekeepers inadvertently landed on the two behind them. The two were standing in the direction of guards, and one of them was Mr. Jiao who had visited Ge Lao many times!

Suddenly, he saw that the young man in front of him was majestic and aristocratic. He thought of the rumors he had heard, and his heart was agitated. He hurriedly grabbed the other person who was politely refusing, and said nervously: "Little man now!" I went to ask the elders for instructions, and invited a few of you to rest inside."

Several other people showed surprise on their faces, and just said that this person has been a concierge for many years, maybe he is more experienced than them, and it may not be certain that something is coming, so they stopped talking and invited people over carefully.

When a few people passed the door, finally someone else saw Jiao Shizhi who had been bowing his head. Before he sat down, a boy was surprised and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Jiao, why didn't you tell me earlier, the old man has a life, and if you don't know what to do in the future." Master Jiao is here, you don’t need to ask for a post, you can go straight in, please come in quickly.”

Jiao Shizhi sneered awkwardly, and could even feel the emperor's eye knife flying over, "So it's like this, it's really an honor."

The man wanted to say something, but another discerning person next to him hurriedly stopped him. This guy might be a fool!Isn't the handsome boy next to him and the fact that Mr. Jiao is following him so brightly obvious? !

Not long after, the concierge who had just gone in to report came out in a hurry, nodded and bowed to welcome the group of people in, and when the backs of the people were no longer visible, the person who had just grabbed the talker slapped him in the face, blinding him Take gold stars, bleeding from the mouth.

He was about to jump up violently, but he heard the man who did it gnash his teeth and said: "You are out of your mind! What is the identity of Mr. Ge, what is the identity of Mr. Jiao, you are so talkative in front of the emperor! If the emperor is angry with Ge Old man, you will suffer a lot!"

The young concierge covered his face in a daze, "Emperor, Your Majesty?"

When the group first entered the mansion, Jiao Shizhi heard a soft whisper, "When you go back, you have to make it clear, Shizhi."

Jiao Shizhi looked at the back figure striding past him to the front with complex eyes, with a little sadness on his brows, if the emperor was furious, Jiao Shizhi would feel better.The current situation made him guess...was the emperor sad when he heard what the concierge said just now?

Maybe even Shizhi betrayed him?

Even if such a thought only flashed in the emperor's mind for a moment, Jiao Shizhi suddenly felt breathless.

When Liu Jian saw the emperor and his party, he was keenly aware of the subtle changes, and his gaze paused on Jiao Shizhi for a moment, with a hint of deep meaning.Immediately struggling to stay on the bed and salute, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly stepped forward to hold down the movement.

"Mr. Liu Ge is not feeling well, don't be too polite, just take a good rest." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, carefully looked at Liu Jian's face, and did not feel relieved until he found that his complexion was rosy and his breathing was steady.

"I'm really terrified that the emperor treats me with pity. It's just that my lord, it's still late at this time. How can you leave the palace at this time?" Liu Jian is worthy of being Liu Jian. Arguing hard, he still did not forget his duty on the sick bed.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and muttered in a low voice, "It's as if you won't stop me when I come out during the day."

Although Liu Jian heard it, his face couldn't help but twitch. The emperor's words are quite straightforward...but it is indeed the truth.The emperor is the king of a country, and the emperor is young, if something happens... Thinking of this possibility, Liu Jian's expression darkened.

Jiao Shizhi saw that the originally harmonious atmosphere was developing in a strange direction, and ignored the entanglement with the emperor just now, he quickly said: "Didn't the emperor buy something specially for Mr. Liu? Now is the right time ah."

Originally, it would be more meaningful for the emperor to personally export the gift, but at this time Jiao Shizhi couldn't care less.

Zhu Houzhao remembered this matter only after being reminded by Jiao Shizhi. He patted his forehead and called Qian Ning up, pointed to a large pile of scattered things in his arms and said, "Mr. Liu Ge, this is Don't hesitate to accept the gift I bought."

Jiao Shizhi: ...

Is this usually the way the emperor bestows gifts?Jiao Shizhi didn't quite understand.

Apparently Liu Jian was also a little confused, he looked at the emperor's random movements in astonishment, and asked in disbelief: "Your Majesty, did you buy something to give to the minister?"

Gifts, of course, can only be given.

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips, walked up to Qian Ning, and rummaged in his arms for a while. Cute sugar figurines, exquisite ceramic dolls, beautiful rotating windmills, jingling wind chimes, and a bunch of other things kept appearing on the table. More scattered toys.

Zhu Houzhao finally sorted the things, pointed to the pile on the table and said, "I remember that your child is five or six years old this year. Isn't it appropriate to give these things to him?"

Then he pointed to the elegant and exquisite wooden box on Qian Ning's left hand, "This is the first-class jewelry from a famous jade shop in the capital, but I don't know much about it, please don't dislike it, your wife."

Finally, pointing to another generous and ingenious long box on Qian Ning's right hand, "I once heard that Mr. Ge is very fond of Zhang Gongwang's paintings. I sent someone to find the so-called "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". If you don’t understand the stuff even more, you’d better identify it yourself. Don’t look for me if it’s fake, but I’ve still lost a lot of money.”

Liu Jian couldn't laugh or cry, facing the emperor's rambling words, he couldn't react for a while, and didn't know how to answer.

He guarded four emperors successively, but this was the first time he saw such a down-to-earth emperor.

Even though all his actions were against the rules, his words were still very outrageous, but at this time, looking at the items specially for his wife and children, and the "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" that Tete found, Liu Jian almost cried vertical and horizontal.

At this moment, he understood Jiao Shizhi's words when he dissuaded him not to challenge the emperor, "The emperor is a man of great fortune, from childhood to adulthood, there is nothing that is difficult for him to obtain, and there is nothing that is difficult to let go of. Perhaps because of this, there are differences with the other adults, but it is precisely because the emperor has experienced so many beautiful things that he is so simple and pure."

When Liu Jian first heard Jiao Shizhi's words, he couldn't help laughing.It is not a one-day achievement for the emperor to reject the government. At first, he suffered a loss because of the incomprehension of things, and then he is even more honest with the court. There are often disputes between the two sides. What does this have to do with simplicity and kindness?

But now seeing the emperor casually chatting about the source of the gift, and even running to the door to deliver it himself, Liu Jian suddenly remembered that sentence that had disappeared from his memory.

"...Master, thank you, Your Majesty."

Regardless of Zhu Houzhao's stop, Liu Jian firmly kowtowed three times on the bed. Even though it was easy to stop him with Zhu Houzhao's strength, at that moment he felt inexplicably that Liu Jian's insistence could not be refused.

He was a little dazed, but immediately restrained himself, and said with a playful smile: "Ge Lao, I came here specially for Ge Lao when I went out this time, and when you return to the court in a few days, you have to cover up for me, so as not to be pursued by the officials again." Hit fiercely, messed up."

Zhu Houzhao had a serious face, as if what he said was a very serious matter.

Liu Jian, who was so moved just now: ...

After half an hour, Zhu Houzhao, who was stepping back on time, was very dissatisfied, "What's the meaning of Liu Jian? He co-authored something that I searched for for a long time, but he still had the nerve to refuse. Isn't this obviously embarrassing me?"

Jiao Shizhi patiently persuaded him beside him: "Master, Mr. Liu Ge finally accepted it."

"What are you taking! If I hadn't just said I wouldn't take it, I would have torn it up, Liu Jian would have taken it?" Zhu Houzhao clasped his hands and retorted.

Jiao Shizhi sighed softly, "The young master doesn't care about these things, but Zhang Gongwang's "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is a treasure that even rich people can't find. Dare to accept it."

Zhu Houzhao snorted softly, and muttered, "I think it's just looking for something to do, so you're just counting on me to reward you, right? There's no way, it's appropriate. From now on, all the things that are going to be rewarded to Liu's house are due to special reasons. Send it yourself!"

When it comes to the ending, there is a decisive decision that cannot be rejected.

Jiao Shizhi pondered for a while, and made up the knife next to him, "Actually, you are planning to use this reason to leave the palace, right? Looking at the appearance of Liu Ge just now, you may be moved for a while, but after repeated actions, he may still become a hindrance Your main force."

Zhu Houzhao laughed softly, "So what's the matter? I didn't just come out to see him. There are so many princes and ministers, what am I afraid of?" Anyway, he played it thoroughly when he went out today.

A group of people went back to the palace one after another, and they all got a few more people in because of Jiao Shizhi's authority.Jiao Shizhi has been the commander and acquaintance for more than two years, and he also has his own power inside the Jinyiwei, and it is very convenient to enter.

It's just that after the emperor went to see Liu Jian, it was basically exposed.

Qian Ning watched as the figures of the emperor and Jiao Shizhi disappeared from sight one after the other, but instead of walking outside the palace, they went to Liu Jin.

Today...he seems to have spied a lot of things, which is really not a loss.And the relationship between Jiao Shizhi and the emperor is probably not as close as they imagined...

As soon as Jiao Shizhi entered the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao's momentum changed instantly, and he drove everyone out of the palace.The palace people were so frightened that they rolled and crawled out.

Jiao Shizhi looked at the emperor who changed his face in an instant and smiled wryly. Is this the rhythm of settling accounts after autumn?

Outside the Qianqing Palace, the moon and stars are scarce, the air is fresh, the breeze is blowing, and it is refreshing and refreshing.

But inside the hall is completely the opposite.

Zhu Houzhao showed a hint of anger, but Jiao Shizhi hesitated for a while whether to kneel or not, even though Jiao Shizhi didn't change his face, and finally stood firm and didn't kneel down, for fear of making the emperor even more angry.

The emperor had a good time shopping tonight, but he was also very unhappy.Jiao Shizhi felt the two contradictory emotions very clearly, and the emperor did not hide anything.

Jiao Shizhi took a deep breath, took a step back, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, if you have any doubts, please don't hold them in your heart, I am afraid that the Emperor will have a heart attack, and that would be my great sin. "

Zhu Houzhao saw that Jiao Shizhi was no longer a courtier like before, and felt better, stopped pacing, frowned and said, "Shizhi, can you explain what happened today?"

Jiao Shizhi said with a wry smile: "It was only last year that I had more contact with Mr. Liu Ge. At that time, the relationship between the emperor and all the civil and military officials was quite estranged. I was really worried, so I went to Liu's mansion to discuss with Mr. Ge. I will persuade the emperor and appease the emperor's emotions, I hope everyone will take a step back, the more times I go, the concierge will know me."

Zhu Houzhao had an idea, and suddenly thought of the incident of Yanyin last year, and said in a deep voice, "From the incident of Yanyin last year?"

Hearing the anger in the emperor's tone, Jiao Shizhi closed his eyes slightly, and replied in a low voice: "Yes."

Zhu Houzhao paced slowly in the hall, turned around to look at Jiao Shizhi after a long time, and asked softly, "Liu Jian has a bad temper, how did you convince him?"
