After Liu Daxia returned to the dynasty, he succeeded as the secretary of the military department, and Qiqing carried out two relatively large rotations in just one year, which is really rare.

As a meritorious hero of Jingbian, Liu Daxia's status after returning to the dynasty was significantly improved, and the degree of respect by the Hongzhi Emperor was much better than that of the cabinet scholars, and the emperor often summoned Liu Daxia to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters on the frontier defense, which was extremely rare in the Hongzhi Dynasty.

As for the second major contributor to the Battle of Jingbian, it was Xie Qian.

Now Xie Qian's status in the cabinet is obviously higher than Li Dongyang's, chasing Liu Jian, but in terms of seniority, he is still at the bottom, but with the matter of the edict handed over to Xie Qian, the emperor asked Xie Qian's opinions more on the policy, and his real power also surged.

Xie Qian was able to gain his current position, and Shen Xi contributed a lot behind the scenes.

Although Xie Qian did not give much feedback to Shen Xi, he helped Shen Xi on the issue of sending the Dayan Department to speak to him, and hired Shen Xi to be the gentleman of Xie Fu.

Now, every time Shen Xi goes to Xie's house, he can see Xie Hengnu, a little girl who is getting more and more beautiful.

This natural daughter has an almost blind admiration for Shen Xi, and after seeing him, it is like a fan meeting an idol, and she has to pester him every time to ask questions.

Xie Hengnu is not as taciturn as Yin Wen, nor is she jealous and cautious like Lin Dai, she is innocent and cheerful, she treats people sincerely, she likes to listen to whatever Shen Xi says, and even Shen Xi can read it for a long time when she sits there reading a book, often with fascination on her face.

On April 19, Shen Xi went to the Chufang Hall to give a lecture to the prince. At noon that day, Zhu Houzhao found an opportunity to tell Shen Xi that he could leave the palace the next day.

"Mr. Shen, I've arranged it, I don't have to go to class tomorrow, and then I will make up a reason to trick my second uncle into entering the palace...... That is, I changed into a eunuch uniform, sent my second uncle to the noon gate, and then I followed my second uncle out of the palace! "Zhu Houzhao's plan is relatively complete.

Shen Xi squinted at him and asked, "Uncle Jianchang usually enters the palace from the Daming Gate at noon?" ”

"Uh...... Where can you go without going to the noon gate? Mr. Shen, you often go in and out of the palace, you should know the situation in this palace very well, where else can you go out of the palace except for the noon gate? Zhu Houzhao didn't know much about the situation of the palace ban, but he just took it for granted that he had to go through the main gate to leave the palace.

In fact, the closest palace gate to the Cuifang Palace is the Donghua Gate, and then along the East Middle Gate, Dong'anli Gate, and then from the Dong'an Gate out of the imperial city.

Waiting for Shen Xi to say the road, Zhu Houzhao swallowed his spit and said, "Sir, speak slowly, I can't remember." ”

"You don't have to remember, just follow Jianchangbo out of the palace, and you can't just arrange a little twister, you have to arrange more little eunuchs who are about the same height as you, so that it will be easier for you to get through the trick." Shen Xi pointed.

"Didn't you say you couldn't make a statement? Doesn't the greater the danger of being discovered? Zhu Houzhao has already put forward his own opinions to question the rationality of Shenxi's plan.

Shen Xi nodded with satisfaction: "It's not easy for you to think of this. But what I want to say is that in the palace, everyone has always swept the snow in front of the door, and the eunuchs in the East Palace are not a hundred but fifty, right? And not everyone has access to you, so there's a lot to do! ”

"Xiao Jiaozi has always been unpopular, not many people pay attention to him, today you find an excuse to punish Xiao Xuanzi, it is best to make his nose blue and swollen, when the time comes, you apply some paint on your face, and then press down the gauze hat a little, and then lower your head, no one will pay attention to what is wrong, but you are not familiar with the behavior of the eunuch, if you send a guest alone, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of others. Only by blending in with the crowd will it be easier for you to get out of the palace gate. ”

"I see...... Okay, Xiao Twister has suffered hardship, I will compensate him in the future, as for sending off guests, I will let Gonggong Liu lead the way in front tomorrow. Zhu Houzhao immediately thought of his loyal lackey Liu Jin.

Shen Xi shook his head and said, "Everyone else can, but Liu Jin can't." He was respectful to the prince, but mean to others, and when he left Donghua Gate, he would probably let the other eunuchs go back, because ......"

"Because of what?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

Shen Xi can't tell him, because your second uncle will bribe Liu Jin, and it's rare to find a chance to be alone, so why don't you hurry up and give a gift? Whether to say this kind of thing or not, Shen Xi is a little difficult, but it is okay to let Zhu Houzhao see the sinister nature of people's hearts.

Shen Xi said: "In this way, the prince will let Gonggong Liu take more than ten little eunuchs to send them away, and the prince will mix in the crowd, and no matter what the prince sees, he will not be quiet." However, the prince must remember that the little eunuchs assigned tomorrow should be difficult to contact you on weekdays, otherwise there will still be a danger of exposure. ”

"Oh? I see. Zhu Houzhao nodded...... He was very curious, but he asked Liu Jin to send my second uncle out of the palace, what strange things could he see?

"After leaving the palace gate, I was supposed to go back, and you had to have the waist card of the Shang Shan Supervisor to go out of the palace on an errand. After sending off Jianchangbo, you first entered with the crowd, and then used the excuse of urinating to escape, and re-entered and exited Dong'anmen with a waist card. Dong'anmen is not as strict as Donghuamen, especially when leaving the palace. If you encounter a check halfway, you can take out the waist card and show them. This is the waist card, take it to ......"

Shen Xi threw the waist card to Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao took it and looked at it, and asked strangely, "Where did Mr. Shen get the waist card?" With this thing, why do you make it so complicated, just take it and go out of the palace directly? ”

"Is it that easy?" Shen Xi asked rhetorically.

If it was before, Zhu Houzhao would definitely say "easy", but now he has also learned to think and knows where the key focus of the matter is, that is, he can't let his father and mother know, and he has to hide it from those attendants, so that he doesn't know it......

"Where did you get your waist badge?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

"This is Shang Shanjian's waist card, if someone finds it, you will say that it was given to you by Father-in-law Liu. Don't confess me, or you won't want to step out of the palace in the future." ”

Zhu Houzhao showed a treacherous smile on his face: "Okay, I'll just say that it was given by Gonggong Liu, let him play 'the lesser of two evils' with me, if I am found out, it will definitely not make him feel better!" ”

……

……

The plan was arranged, and it was almost afternoon class time, Shen Xi finished the lecture seriously, and under the eyes of the bear child, he left the Chufang Hall as if nothing had happened.

The waist card was not obtained by Shen Xi from normal channels at all, but he carefully forged it with reference to his waist card during this time, and he was confident that his ability to forge was very strong, even if he took out the real waist card for comparison, he could not distinguish the authenticity.

If Zhu Houzhao can successfully leave the palace, he has to find time to accompany Zhu Houzhao to visit the capital, as for how Zhu Houzhao will go back, Shen Xi will not tell him for the time being, because this involves the question of whether Zhu Houzhao can leave the palace in the future.

Although Shen Xi was the maker and implementer of all the plans, he made reasonable use of the "rules" to let Zhu Houzhao see what the real conspiracy was.

After Shen Xi went back, he arranged for Song Xiaocheng to allocate manpower, saying that he was going to play in the city in the coming day and needed someone to protect him. Then Shen Xi asked Zhu Shan to prepare...... Zhu Shan can't do anything else, he is a good hand in fighting, usually three or five big men can't get close to her, plus Zhu Shan is stupid, Shen Xi can rest assured and boldly let Zhu Shan be the prince's personal bodyguard.

"My lord, will you let Xiaoshan go out with you tomorrow?" Zhu Qi knew that his daughter was going to visit the capital with Shen Xi, and couldn't help but look at Shen Xi curiously.

"Yes."

Shen Xi explained, "Spring is short, if you don't take advantage of the cool weather to go out for a walk, I'm afraid you will have to stay at home and wait for autumn to go to Xiangshan to see the red leaves." Recently, the city has not been peaceful, and I am afraid that the Tatar spies will wait for an opportunity to take revenge, so I would like to ask Xiaoshan to protect me. ”

Zhu Qi's old face was a little honored, and he nodded: "I'm afraid that she will be rude and serve you badly......"

Shen Xi thought to himself, what I want is Zhu Shan's rough hands and feet, if it is really a thoughtful girl, I really dare not take it out to let her get along with the prince, maybe I will be the same as Ning'er, I fall in love with the cute little handsome guy of the prince, and my eyebrows are ...... Shen Xi still remembers the scene when he was seven or eight years old, when Ning Er went to his room to untie his clothes.

The people of this era believe that women must be simple and scheming to be likable, which is why they advocate "women are virtuous if they are not talented".

Shen Xi and Zhu Houzhao jointly formulated the plan, Zhu Houzhao will leave the palace at noon, this time period, just hold the noon dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi will not visit the Fang Palace, and Zhu Houzhao has the habit of taking a nap, even Empress Zhang will not come to disturb, so coercion and temptation, let the little twister lie quietly on the bed, just wait for people to go back, change the clothes, you can do it without knowing it.

The driver sent by Shen Xi was waiting in the distance outside Dong'an Gate, and saw Zhang Yanling's car from a distance.

Zhang Yanling often goes in and out of the palace, and even the servants of Jianchangbo's Mansion are used to it, even if the car is parked directly in front of the palace gate, there is a suspicion of obstructing traffic, these servants still talk and laugh.

The seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister, these domestic servants rely on themselves to be the emperor's brother-in-law's family, and they are too unscrupulous, but even those upright imperial historians will not take this kind of thing to play. Because even if it is confirmed in the end, the emperor will raise it up and reprimand Zhang Yanling lightly, blaming him for his poor discipline of the servants, but Zhang Yanling retaliates, and the loss of official position may be light.

Shen Xi waited outside for more than half an hour, and saw Zhang Yanling from a distance going out of the palace gate accompanied by a group of little eunuchs, but he did not see Liu Jin.

Zhang Yanling got into the carriage, more than a dozen little eunuchs turned around and went back to the palace, and after a while, a little boy walked out of the palace gate in a ghostly manner, and was stopped by the guards.

Zhu Houzhao looked around, saw Shen Xi standing on the wheel and beckoning to him, his eyes lit up, and he rushed to the carriage quickly.

"Didn't you say that no one checked? Why are so many people, they just stop me? Zhu Houzhao shouted.

"Because you can't hold your breath, you have to have the style of a general to do things, even if you do a head-killing business, you have to be calm, you think about the appearance of leaving the palace just now, sneaky and panicked, it's strange that others don't suspect you." Shen Xi said coldly.

Zhu Houzhao stuck out his tongue a little disappreciatively, and was about to get into the carriage, when he found that a stupid eldest sister was looking at him happily, mainly because the blue and purple paint on his face was too scary.

"Who is this?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Shan and asked.

"For the next hour or so, she will protect you, you remember, once you are out of her three feet, I don't care what happens!" Shen Xi threatened.

"Lang Lang Qiankun, and in a peaceful and prosperous era, what can happen?" Zhu Houzhao got into the carriage with a disdainful face.

At this moment, Ma Jiu, who was in charge of protecting Shen Xi, came over and asked in a low voice, "My lord, this ...... Who is it? ”

"The little eunuch of the East Palace, it's okay to ask him to screw his father-in-law, he is a popular man in front of the prince." Shen Xi said with a smile.

"Screw the public security." Ma Jiu was a little puzzled by the little eunuch in front of him who was smeared with flowers on his face, but he still couldn't help but salute Zhu Houzhao with curiosity.

Zhu Houzhao smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, "Okay, you are diligent, this palace ...... There are many rewards for the public. Take it. ”

Saying that, he took out a gadget from his arms and threw it to Ma Jiu, but it was a small sachet, Ma Jiu was very surprised when he received it, where had he seen such a delicate thing as a rough person.

Shen Xi said with a smile: "Screw the father-in-law to reward you, take it." Don't show it lightly, it's a thing in the palace. ”
