[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

Jiao Shizhi dragged his right hand to the front of his clothes and couldn't stop panting, while the other hand was placed on the edge of the bed to be checked by the imperial physicians. His pale face made Zhu Houzhao feel like a volcano that was about to erupt. The atmosphere dare not take a breath.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Jiao vomits blood because he is short of breath and his blood is not going well. However, it will be better if the blood can be spit out. It's just that Mr. Jiao's mood is still relatively unstable now, and he has not fully recovered from the serious injury before. Basically, if the cycle is repeated, it will cause a lot of damage to the body, so we still have to take care of it."

The imperial doctor's order made Emperor Zhengde look ugly. He waved his hand and ordered the imperial doctors to retreat to write prescriptions. He walked to the bedside and sat down. Looking at the young man covering his eyes with his hands, he reached out and stroked Jiao Shizhi's loose hair, "Shi So, what's wrong with you?"

Li Rong had already reported to him that there was nothing inappropriate about the memorials he read just now, they were all ordinary etiquette notes.On the other side, Jiao Shizhi, who was more vocal, didn't look at it.But if it wasn't for this reason, why did Shizhi suddenly act like this the moment he saw him?

Jiao Shizhi heard the sound of his chest beating violently, and his head hurt even more. He knew that the emperor was sitting beside him and worried about him, and he also knew that he should give the emperor a reasonable explanation.

But my heart really hurts too much.

The pain was so painful that Jiao Shizhi had to curl up to restrain the feeling.Zhu Houzhao noticed Jiao Shizhi's rustling movements, and when he was about to squat down to see his face clearly, he found that Shizhi grabbed his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, don't move." The young man's voice revealed a rare weakness, "I will explain this matter to the Emperor later, but now... just don't move, please..."

Emperor Zhengde stopped his movements. After a long time, he rolled onto the bed and hugged Jiao Shizhi from behind, "You, you always startle me from time to time. If you have something to say, just say it, and I won't eat you."

Jiao Shizhi laughed dryly twice, but did not speak.There was worry in the eyebrows, if it wasn't for that prediction...he wouldn't lose control for a while and attract so much attention.In the past, although I occasionally saw some anxious and worrying evaluation statements, the most serious one was the falling into the water when I was still the prince.

It's been so serious, but it's never happened before.Thinking of this, Jiao Shi's heart shone.There is only one life, and there is only one life and death.

But it was really unbearable for him to see the emperor's death so directly.

Jiao Shizhi opened his eyes slightly, looking at the emperor's arms wrapped around his waist and abdomen, his eyes were sore, the handwriting that just passed by was so unacceptable, if it really appeared, it would be really regrettable It's time.

The news about Jiao Shizhi vomiting blood did not spread. Emperor Zhengde completely blocked all news at the moment of the accident, and he did not leave after the imperial physicians finished the diagnosis.This was originally the house of Emperor Zhengde, and he often lived here when he was in the Leopard House.After placing Jiao Shizhi in the inner room, Emperor Zhengde ordered all the memorials to be moved inside, and sat next to Jiao Shizhi to do things.

Jiao Shizhi deeply felt the emperor's thoughtfulness, and was also deeply disturbed by what he was about to reveal.But remembering that the emperor was so pleasantly surprised when he told him about the old man, it shouldn't be... How about it?

When the candlelight trembled slightly, Jiao Shizhi suddenly came back to his senses. Unknowingly, he stared at the emperor for a whole night. When he woke up suddenly, he turned over to face the bed, curled up his hands subconsciously position on the chest.

I don't know why I feel cowardly.

"Shizhi feels shy at this time? I was watched by you all night." Emperor Zhengde teased, closed the last booklet and walked to Jiao Shizhi's side. The sound of getting closer and closer made Jiao Shizhi He was indeed a little ashamed, his behavior just now was indeed very inappropriate.

Zhu Houzhao reached out and touched Jiao Shizhi's red earlobe, ignored Jiao Shizhi's trembling and kneaded it twice, then let go of his hand and said: "It's late now, Shizhi should have a good rest, don't worry about it for a few days I'm worried about other things, An'an can rest in peace for a few days." After he finished speaking, he stood up and planned to go to Jiao Shizhi's room to deal with it overnight, but before he could move, his sleeves were pulled.

Same action as before.

"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you." Behind him were Jiao Shizhi's gentle words, and he seemed to have regained his composure, and there was no more worrying scene like in the evening.

Emperor Zhengde turned to look at him, his handsome face was full of worry, "I don't think you are ready for what you looked like earlier." Jiao Shizhi half sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, and said with a light smile : "Your Majesty, it's not that I have things piled up in my mind, it's just that I was overwhelmed for a while, and that's why it happened. It's really rude."

Zhu Houzhao sat on the edge of the bed, frowned and covered Jiao Shizhi's mouth, "What is impoliteness? If you swallow your mouthful of blood, you don't know how long it will take to recuperate. You can't talk about it in the future." In this case."

Jiao Shizhi winked at the emperor, as he agreed to the matter.No way, Emperor Zhengde would not let go if he didn't answer to the emperor, but at this time, Jiao Shizhi didn't dare to lick the other's palm as boldly as Zhu Houzhao, so he could only signal like this.

"What do you want to say?" Emperor Zhengde let go and asked.

"Does your majesty still remember that old man who once rescued me?" Jiao Shizhi said softly.Zhu Houzhao nodded, "Of course I remember."

"Actually, this is not the first time I met that old man. The first time should have been in the year I entered the palace, which happened to be the night before the ancestral hall was burned down. At that time, I fell asleep in the ancestral hall, in a daze I had a conversation with him in my sleep, and he gave me an ability in the end." Jiao Shizhi said, but his eyes did not fall on Zhu Houzhao who was beside him, but quietly looked at the pattern on the quilt.

"From then on, I can see predictions about the emperor every day, or anecdotes about the emperor, or evaluations about the emperor. It has always been like this."

"The reason why I lost control in the evening was because I... saw something related to the death of the emperor."

Emperor Zhengde had been listening to Jiao Shizhi's words very quietly, until Jiao Shizhi stopped and said, "Why did Shizhi tell me this? If you find an excuse, it's not very difficult, right?" The words were strange and confusing, even if the old man saved Jiao Shizhi back then, he never thought about that direction.

"I once promised the emperor that if the emperor asks, I will not hide anything." Jiao Shizhi said softly.

"What if I use you? What if I start to be afraid of you from now on? Don't you worry about such a problem?" Emperor Zhengde raised his eyebrows and asked, but the movement of holding Jiao Shizhi did not change.

A familiar voice rang in his ears, it was the voice that Jiao Shizhi had heard for more than ten years, from a child carved in jade, to a surly young man, to now a free and easy young man...Jiao Shizhi just now Discovered how much this ability to foresee had an impact on him.After each passing day, he would secretly look forward to, what kind of words will he see tomorrow?

That kind of vague anticipation actually became the beginning of his emotional germination.

"If your majesty is like this, it can only mean that I have misjudged my eyes. And if this is the case, I should restrain myself and keep what a monarch and minister should have..." Jiao Shizhi frowned and said, the words that had not been finished were caught by Zhengde The emperor covered it, and the words of hidden anger sounded, "I don't allow it! I don't allow it!"

There was a touch of helplessness in Jiao Shizhi's eyes. Although Zhu Houzhao saw it, he pretended not to see it, "Shizhi, every step you take, you have to think about what will happen after three steps. If you keep talking, I will be angry with you." Die." He kicked off his boots, straddled his long legs, and hugged Jiao Shizhi and the quilt on his body.

"Let's not talk about the authenticity of this prediction, just because you have concealed it from me for so many years, it is appropriate to say, how should I punish you?" Emperor Zhengde whispered behind Jiao Shizhi's ear, his voice Jiao Shizhi couldn't help shivering, remembering the so-called punishment when his father sent a letter a few days ago.Although he escaped a catastrophe that afternoon, he was locked up in the room by the emperor for more than half an hour that night. He almost failed to come out of the room. , Jiao Shizhi swallowed unconsciously.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong."

Jiao Shizhi admitted honestly, and obediently let some cold palms stick to his waist, listening to Emperor Zhengde's questioning again, "You are so worried because all the predictions have come true?"

"... some are, some are not."

Jiao Shizhi leaned into Zhu Houzhao's arms wearily, and no longer wondered whether such behavior was in compliance with the rules, "I didn't know much at first, until that night when you fell into the water in Jiangxuexuan, I went to rescue you. You got the same result. And a few days before the death of the late emperor, I also dreamed of you in a trance, so I foresaw this matter. With my own strength alone, I don't seem to have made any changes."

"Yes." Emperor Zhengde said without hesitation.

Jiao Shizhi wanted to raise his head in surprise, but he felt a heavy weight on the top of his head. Emperor Zhengde rubbed his hair with his chin, and murmured: "Didn't I have you by my side those few times?"

The gentle young man who was surrounded and hugged in his arms was a little dazed. After a long time, he chuckled softly, "You're right."

"However, the rebellion of King Ning made me see a difference. According to the time I saw, he should have rebelled in Zhengde 15 years ago, but it was so long in advance. When I stopped him in Fuzhou, I Only then did I know what was going on, it seems that compared to us, this is the second time that the former King Ning has experienced."

Emperor Zhengde gently kneaded Jiao Shizhi's fingers, and couldn't stop rubbing the soft flesh between his two fingers, "So, compared to us, he can be regarded as having an insight into the opportunity?"

Jiao Shizhi nodded, "That's true, but Qingrong seems to have disturbed his pace, resulting in many opportunities being abolished."

Emperor Zhengde laughed, his deep voice vibrating in his chest, and Jiao Shizhi who was leaning on his arms felt deeply, and his reddish ears became even redder.Jiao Shizhi changed positions unconsciously, but Emperor Zhengde firmly pressed him down, "Don't move around."

Jiao Shizhi stopped in doubt, only to feel that the person behind him took two deep breaths, "Shizhi, have you forgotten that I am a man who has grown up for a long time."

"So..." Jiao Shi's face was confused, he didn't know why the topic suddenly jumped here.Looking at the dazed Jiao Shizhi, Emperor Zhengde simply used actions to show the truth.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, stop, stop!"

Jiao Shizhi's face was blushing, the palm that was held by the emperor could not move, but the other hand was firmly pressed down on the palm that the emperor moved rashly, "I, I understand, don't mess around."

"Hehe..." Emperor Zhengde smiled close to him, "I'm actually very curious, why don't we try it?"

"Your Majesty, we are still talking about business!"

Jiao Shizhi hastily stopped him, if the emperor let the emperor continue, he would be ashamed to face others.Even though he was still talking about serious things just now, why did the emperor jump to this topic all of a sudden? !

"Has Shizhi relaxed a bit now? Your shoulders were stiff just now." Zhu Houzhao sighed softly, pulled out his hand hidden in the quilt, and said, wrapping around Jiao Shizhi's shoulder.The deep voice was full of lingering tenderness, a bit of pity dissipated in the air, and was gradually warmed by his movements.

"There is no need to worry about it. Since even King Ning's rebellion has undergone such a big change, other things will naturally not remain the same. We know the cause of my death, and we will definitely not repeat the same mistakes. No matter when I die , it can't be now, right? If Shizhi has been so tense, then your body won't be able to hold it. "

Jiao Shizhi's hair was rubbed by Emperor Zhengde for a while, although it became a little messy, the whole person gradually relaxed, "Yes, the emperor is right."

"Now tell me, when did I die?"

"...The 16th year of Zhengde, March."

Emperor Zhengde hugged Jiao Shizhi even tighter, and sighed, "There are still eight years."

"It's more than eight years."

Jiao Shizhi said, he broke free from Emperor Zhengde's arms, turned around and looked into Emperor Zhengde's eyes, and said seriously: "Does the emperor only want to be with me for only eight years?"

together?

Emperor Zhengde didn't seem to understand Jiao Shizhi's words, his eyes were full of ignorance.Jiao Shizhi bent down and kissed Emperor Zhengde's lips, but just kissed lightly, and when he was about to get up, a palm was pressed on the back of Jiao Shi's head, making Jiao Shizhi unable to raise his head.But the lips that were just obediently sticking to him showed his true face, and broke into Jiao Shizhi's mouth fiercely.Although Jiao Shizhi and Zhu Houzhao have known each other for so many years, apart from the first time they lost control of their emotions, this is their second kiss.

……

"emperor?"

"Ok?"

"...The root of the tongue is numb." Jiao Shizhi said vaguely.

Emperor Zhengde left him for a while, with an aggrieved expression on his face, "But I still want it, Shizhi, you finally promised me, can't you let me eat enough at once?"

... Is it really suitable to say something from the emperor's mouth if you eat enough at once?Jiao Shizhi stared weakly at the magnified handsome face in front of him, and his sensitive palate was licked again, which made him shiver uncontrollably.The palm on the back touched him soothingly, but under the trembling of the young man, he didn't restrain himself in the slightest.

"Enough, enough..."

"But I think it's never enough."

Nibbling softly, sucking violently, even if he trembled, Emperor Zhengde almost achieved the ultimate, but stopped at the end. He held the back of Jiao Shizhi's hand and pulled him tightly to the side of the quilt. Fingers separated, then slipped into the fingers and held tightly, "Shizhi, I like you, I like you, I like you..."

Jiao Shizhi opened his eyes, with teardrops still hanging from his eyelashes, "Me too." The hoarse voice fell heavily on Emperor Zhengde's heart, making his hugging movement even harder.

"It's not enough, it's not enough now." Zhu Houzhao bit Jiao Shizhi's ear and said, the secret thoughts that had been hidden in his heart gradually came to his mind, and even occupied all his thoughts. Now that he has reached this point, why? Can't tell the world openly?

Zhu Houzhao kowtowed three times to Empress Dowager Zhang silently in his heart, then hugged Jiao Shizhi and shrank into the bedding, and said softly: "Shizhi, if I want to do something, but you will definitely not agree after you know it, Do you think I should do it?"

Jiao Shizhi hid himself under the blanket silently, felt the strength of the emperor's embrace, and desperately expected the face of the servants tomorrow morning.Although they actually did not finish, but he never stayed with the emperor.With such an obvious difference, even if Lehua Xiaodezi and the others dare not say anything, they can't hide the look in their eyes.

"You are the emperor. If it's not something that endangers the country, of course I don't need my consent." After finishing speaking, Jiao Shizhi smiled bitterly. Isn't his current relationship with the emperor also endangering the government?

"Shizhi is right, I am the emperor, and I always have a bit of willful power..." Emperor Zhengde muttered.

Jiao Shizhi sensed something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"

Emperor Zhengde hugged Jiao Shizhi even tighter, smiled and leaned against his shoulder and said, "Shizhi doesn't have to worry. Speaking of which, you have kept it from me for so long, so you still have to punish him, right?"

"Your Majesty..." Could it be that just now, that was not a punishment?

Emperor Zhengde knew what Shizhi was thinking just by feeling the hesitant pause, rubbed his ear lightly and said: "Of course not, that's just a matter of deep love, how can it be used as punishment? How about this, From now on, when there are only two of us, you can't call me emperor, okay?"

"Of course not."

"Huh, why?"

"Of course... Your Majesty, stop!"

"Stop, what? I didn't do anything..."

On the second day, Jiao Shizhi regained his lively appearance, and even drank the decoction for two or three days and then stopped drinking.That matter seemed to dissipate, but after the summer passed, it still cast a faint shadow on their hearts.

After that, Jiao Shizhi never entered the leopard room again for several days, as long as he remembered the face of the servant who served him at that time, Jiao Shizhi was so embarrassed that he never wanted to think about it.As for his relationship with the emperor, in fact, there is no change from before.Although they didn't reveal this relationship before, Jiao Shizhi almost entered and exited with the emperor, and lived next to the emperor, even if he didn't make it clear, there was no difference.

Moreover, Jiao Shizhi always felt that the emperor seemed to be thinking about something, more precisely, planning to do something.As soon as he thinks of the emperor's previous convictions, Jiao Shizhi has an urge to inform the cabinet in advance. It's better to be happy alone than to be happy together. This sudden feeling of wanting to die together is really novel.

While sorting out the paperwork in hand, Jiao Shizhi thought about it endlessly.Today he sent people to take out all the scrolls of Beizhen Fusi to bask in the sun, but here every one is a secret, so he sent most of the forces to guard, even Liu Shengming went, and Jiao Shizhi was in the house Sorting out the documents of the Zhenfu envoy.

Because the matter in hand is not very important, Jiao Shizhi let himself diverge casually.After foreseeing such a horrific content that day, the subsequent predictions are all normal.But the consequence of telling the emperor about this is that every day after meeting for the first time, Emperor Zhengde would drag him to a secret place and force him to ask him what he saw. The number of times like this increased, and even Liu Jin's eyes began to look strange. Jiao Shizhi had no choice but to promise the emperor that the matter would not be over until he was informed every day in his spare time.

And they didn't talk about that matter.

If you think about it carefully, there is actually nothing to talk about.It was a few years in the distant and unknown, and the cause, process and result are very clear, let alone prevention, as long as you don't go to the south of the Yangtze River, it is enough to avoid it.It's just that for so long, Jiao Shizhi has always had doubts about whether he can change this matter.

Even though most of the events of King Ning's rebellion had been changed, the most important result of King Ning's failure had not been changed.As soon as he thought of this, Jiao Shizhi couldn't help frowning, but he didn't want to tell the emperor his inner worries.This was originally about the life and death of Emperor Zhengde, and he had been acting worried, fearing that it would put pressure on the emperor.

"Knock—knock—"

The gentle knock on the door woke Jiao Shizhi from his contemplation. He looked at Shi Hua standing at the door, "You just came in, why are you still knocking?" Shi Hua walked in holding the scroll, "My lord, although the warehouse The information is very important, but you don't want to send all the people in your yard there, it's too dangerous."

Jiao Shizhi chuckled and closed the document, "I'm afraid I'm the one who needs the last guard here. It doesn't matter if I have one or not. It's a waste for them to follow me."

Shi Hua said dissatisfiedly: "My lord, you are outnumbered, you'd better bring a few more people with you."

"Okay, not next time."

Jiao Shi responded.

As Jiao Shizhi said, Shi Hua is indeed a very capable person. No one can surpass him in criminal investigation, and no one in Beizhen Fusi dares to offend him.After all, this is the person who can get a lot of information out of your mouth without knowing it. It is simply torture for those who live on information. Although he is his boss, few people contact him.After Jiao Shizhi worked with him for a period of time, he found that he was a rare and honest person, which was different from the initial impression.

"These are the confessions of people who have been arrested and brought to justice recently, but some of them look weird. Although the results have been asked, I always feel that there is still something missing. I hope you can give me a few more days , I want to try to see if I can ask." Shi Hua handed the things in his hand to Jiao Shizhi, and as soon as Jiao Shizhi opened it, he was startled by the neat contents, "You are still so serious."

Shi Hua said, "If you can't fully record what you hear, you will always have a subjective point of view when you summarize it yourself. Of course, if it is too troublesome, the following part is a brief process."

Jiao Shizhi smiled and said: "No problem, you have done a good job. You are responsible for those people. If you are really suspected, it doesn't matter if you stay for a few more days. Keep an eye on Liu Fangquan and don't do anything out of line." If the crime is confirmed, forget it, and those who are only suspected should not be killed."

Shi Hua nodded, and when Jiao Shizhi looked down at the document again, he quietly backed out.

After reading the scroll that Shi Hua sent over, Jiao Shizhi almost understood what Shi Hua meant.The few people who were arrested were all horse dealers, including Han and Hu. Although their confessions were consistent, they had a stronger sense of order compared to the confessions of other people.In other words, these confessions may have been written down by them in advance.If this is the case, the reasons are indeed worth pondering.

After all, horse dealers have the closest connection with foreigners.

Keeping this matter in mind, Jiao Shizhi took care of other things.

A few days later, Shi Hua handed over a surprising answer. Jiao Shizhi looked at the above confession, and looked at it in silence for a long time, "Are you sure that every word above is true?"

"That's natural." Shi Hua answered with strong confidence.

Jiao Shizhi closed the confession that had been opened several times, "I didn't expect that after two years of silence, it would start to make trouble again. It would be nice to think of a combination of inside and outside, but how can this uprising be so easy?" Wake up? Did the Tatars deceive me to face no one!"

Shi Hua said: "My lord, do you want to tell the emperor?"

"Don't you tell the emperor?" Jiao Shizhi glanced at him, clasped his hands on the table and waited for Shi Hua's answer.

Shi Hua said calmly: "This matter is groundless, it's just the words of a few ordinary horse dealers, how can we gain the trust of the emperor? There have been a lot of troubles in the past two years, and the emperor may not take it seriously. Why don't we sort out the evidence first and then make a plan."

Jiao Shizhi couldn't help laughing, and after attracting Shi Hua's suspicious gaze, he simply laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, you still don't know enough about the emperor." He shook his head while laughing, and handed Shi Hua over. The confession was folded and stuffed into the cuffs, "There is nothing to do today, I will go back to the palace to report the matter to the emperor, if there are any orders, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Shi Hua watched Lord Jiao go away, touched his face in doubt, is the emperor still a martial artist?Hey, maybe that's right, but I've never seen him really pay attention to military tactics. Could it be that his news is wrong?

Jiao Shizhi threw Shi Hua an unsolvable doubt, and he left Beizhen Fusi with red dates.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhengde was not in the Leopard Room, nor in the Qianqing Palace, but in the Wenhua Palace, which he seldom visited.After Lehua told him this, he said quietly to Jiao Shizhi: "Lord Jiao, the emperor didn't look very good when he summoned the cabinet. Please be more patient when you pass by. It is said that many things have been smashed." Followed It was Liu Jin who passed by Emperor Zhengde, and Lehua remained in the Leopard Room.

Jiao Shizhi raised his eyebrows in surprise, originally he wanted to wait for the emperor to come back in the Leopard Room, but after listening to Lehua's words, he became concerned about the situation of Wenhua Palace.

Liu Jin was grimacing outside, worrying about the violent quarrel inside. He himself was a thorn in the side of the courtiers, so going in and talking would only add fuel to the flames, but it wouldn't work if the emperor got angry and was caught They are not the ones who take it out to vent their anger.Although Liu Jin is in charge of Dongchang, she would come to the palace every day, unexpectedly today was so unlucky, just in time for this time.

He was pacing outside the hall, saw Jiao Shizhi from a distance, was overjoyed, and rushed to meet him, "Master Jiao, you are here at the right time, come quickly and put out the fire." Jiao Shizhi stood outside the hall and looked After a few glances, it was discovered that besides a few cabinet scholars, the six ministers were also there.

"You have to tell me clearly first, what happened inside?" Jiao Shizhi asked.

Liu Jin explained the matter clearly, "The emperor summoned a few people into the palace to discuss the frontier defense, but later it involved the emperor's marriage and the palace parade. Now it is arguing about the leopard room. "

Jiao Shizhi: ...This span is too great. "And what is there to discuss in the Leopard Room? Hasn't this matter been quiet before?"

Liu Jin said in a low voice: "The emperor spent another 200 million taels of silver on the Leopard House this year. After the cabinet found out about the news, they approached the Ministry of Accounting, but the Ministry of Accounting didn't know about it, so..."

Jiao Shizhi felt thoughtful, touched the paper on his cuff, and nodded to Liu Jin, "Go in and report."

Liu Jin smiled wryly, "Aren't you insulting us? The emperor said long ago that no matter where you go, you don't need to report. If I dare to howl now, the emperor can cut my tongue." Changchanggong has a higher status than Jiao Shizhi.But given Liu Jin ten guts, he wouldn't dare to show his prestige in front of Jiao Shizhi.He even wished to strangle Jiao Shizhi to death. If he knew that things would turn out like this, he would never be disrespectful to Jiao Shizhi.

Jiao Shizhi frowned, looking at the scene where hundreds of officials were arguing. After all, this is the Wenhua Palace, and entering without notice is simply asking for trouble for himself.But seeing the noise inside getting fiercer and fiercer, Jiao Shizhi had no choice but to knock on the door bravely, as a comfort to himself, then lifted his hem and walked in, staring at Emperor Zhengde's murderous eyes and saluted at the door, "Chen Jiao Shizhi, pay homage to the emperor—"

"Quickly stand up for me!"

Emperor Zhengde stood up from his seat a little irritable, seeing that the emperor was about to come down, Jiao Shizhi stood up quickly, and under the pressure of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, he took out a confession from his arms, "Your Majesty, I have something to do." to play."

The servant standing beside the emperor hurriedly got down and took it with both hands, then trotted back and handed it to Emperor Zhengde.After Emperor Zhengde took it, the Minister of the Ministry of War standing on the left said in a naive voice: "Lord Jiao came just in time. You have been with the emperor for many years. You should know better than me how the Leopard House is. What do you think?"

Jiao Shizhi glanced at the bearded Minister of the Ministry of War, and felt that he had a grudge against every Minister of the Ministry of War.Liu Daxia has been transferred by the emperor to Nanjing for retirement. Although this person is not as targeted as Liu Daxia, he likes to take him into the water in these matters, which makes him hard to guard against.

"The emperor did spend tens of thousands of taels of silver on the leopard room for repairs, but I think it's a reasonable thing, and it's not a big mistake." Jiao Shizhi said.

"Isn't it right to count 10 taels? Mr. Jiao, the expenditure on the leopard house in the inner treasury at the beginning of the year is several times that. You can save a lot now." The Minister of the Household Department was not happy, Jiao Even if Shizhi wants to flatter the emperor, he doesn't need to make such nonsense.

Jiao Shizhi cupped his hands, "My lord, the construction of the leopard house only cost a few hundred thousand taels. The rest of the money was not spent on the leopard house, but for other purposes. Your Majesty, I beg you to bring some A grown-up can see a thing or two in the past.”

Emperor Zhengde had just finished reading the testimony, and he frowned displeased when he heard the words, "Let these old men who can only chatter go, I'm afraid I won't be able to cheer up in the future."

Old men: ...

Jiao Shizhi coughed twice, and said seriously: "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, please allow the emperor."

"Go, go, let you see enough, don't bother me with this matter every day." Emperor Zhengde said impatiently, the testimony in his hand reminded him of something, and he tickled Jiao Shizhi Hand, "I'll let Liu Jin take you there first, and Shizhi and I have something to talk about."

After the bewildered ministers were taken away, Jiao Shizhi saw the emperor striding down the steps, "What's wrong with you?"

Emperor Zhengde suddenly hugged Jiao Shizhi and spun around, "Shizhi, I just thought of a reason for me to go to the Northwest for inspection, and you gave me a reason, which is really great!"

Jiao Shizhi hurriedly said: "When did you decide on this matter?" Surprised, he didn't even care about his current actions.

"Just now?"

"What?! Your Majesty... um..."
