Just when Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe were discussing secretly, Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai had already arrived at the Zhengxin Palace, and in the Zhengxin Palace, Zhu Houzhao looked very comfortable, he had been suppressed for so long, and now he finally exhaled and raised his eyebrows, and a lot of decorations have been added to the Zhengxin Palace, Zhu Houzhao did not wear court clothes or dresses, but a loose silk brocade short suit, lying on the couch with bare feet.

Zhang Yongzheng carefully pinched Zhu Houzhao's feet, Gao Feng squatted aside and tossed a few spring paintings sent, Zhu Houzhao was an emperor who was not bound by the rules, and the concubines in the palace had already made him tired of it, so Liu Jin secretly gave him a trick, that is, to let Xichang go around and secretly draw out the wives and daughters of some rich and ministers for Zhu Houzhao to watch.

Zhu Houzhao was very happy about this, speaking of which, Liu Jin still coaxed him very well, although this guy is a eunuch, although he knows some things about men and women, he has never tried, but he is even familiar with how to increase the emperor's surname, and he is well versed in the truth that a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as stealing.

These spring paintings are all painted with the portraits of the wives and daughters of the rich ministers who have been painted, they are extremely attractive, the people in them are half-concealed and half-hidden, and all kinds of charms are clustered, Gao Feng is specially responsible for picking them out and taking them out for Zhu Hou to take care of.

Liu Jin sat on the edge of the couch, smiled and peeled a lychee from Lingnan and put it in Zhu Houzhao's mouth, while whispering the news from the West Factory.

Which minister has any private affairs, or whose mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a bad relationship, or even whose son has become a parent, there is no omission of this matter, Liu Jin's memory is excellent, and he also knows that the emperor likes to listen to some sanctimonious ministers cover their secrets, so it is very colorful.

Zhu Houzhao looked proud, he has lived all his life, he only feels that only now is the happiest, every time he says that he doesn't have to go to the court, everything has Liu Jin to do for himself, he can concentrate on doing what he likes the most, he can have whatever he wants, that is, the new palace can finally be started, the original Zhu Houzhao's idea was just to repair a few palace rooms, who knew that Liu Jin directly told him that the emperor wanted to build a house, how could it be compared with ordinary people's homes, and if he wanted to build a large number of craftsmen, he would not recruit seventy or eighty thousand craftsmen, If you don't spend a million taels of silver, how can you look like the Son of Heaven is different.

Liu Jin's words are in Zhu Houzhao's arms, Zhu Houzhao is a very sincere person, and his most sincere place is that as long as he is happy, it doesn't matter what happens.

Zhu Houzhao's perception of Liu Jin has increased a lot, in the past, he thought that Liu Jin was just a playmate, but now he found that Liu Jin has a few brushes.

At this time, a little eunuch came in outside and announced: "University scholars Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai are here." ”

"What are they doing at this juncture? Didn't Jiao Fang say that he was going to talk to his colleagues in the cabinet about changing the law today? Zhu Houzhao chewed the lychee in his mouth and said.

Liu Jin has become a little vigilant, Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai have always been calm, and they will enter the palace unless there is a major event, so he hurriedly said: "Or, the slave maid will go and see it first?" ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Go and come back quickly." ”

Liu Jin hurriedly went out of the hall and found Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai, who were waiting to be seen, his face suddenly became serious, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Although Liu Jin relied on the guidance of Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai to turn the tables, but Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai didn't dare to take it big in front of Liu Jin, Jiao Fang lowered his voice and said: "The matter of changing the law has been supported by Li Dongyang in the cabinet, as for Yang Tinghe, even if he doesn't agree to it now, it won't be done." ”

Liu Jin looked happy and said, "Okay, good." ”

He originally didn't mean to change the law, he was only thinking about how much silver he could hold, but Jiao Fang warned him that money is a useless thing, and if you want to gain a foothold in this Ming Dynasty, you must first hold power, but Liu Jin felt that his authority was big enough, so he naturally didn't agree with it, but Jiao Fang asked two questions, which made Liu Jin change his mind.

'Although the father-in-law is powerful, can he use the brocade guard? ’

'Although the father-in-law can use the emperor to intervene in the government, but the father-in-law can only use the emperor's will, if it is his own order, who will accept it? ’

These two questions hit the nail on the head of Liu Jin, he seems to be powerful, but this power is not his, but from the emperor, without the emperor he is just a eunuch, nothing.

The so-called change is actually to form a clear hierarchy system in the court, using the inner factory to supervise the factory guards, and the factory guards to supervise the hundred officials, and the eunuchs of the inner factory palm prints are naturally none other than Liu Jin, once this mechanism is formed, Liu Jin will become a veritable vice emperor, so now Liu Jin is particularly enthusiastic.

Hearing that there was not much resistance from the cabinet, Liu Jin was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "You guys came to meet just for this matter?" ”

Jiao Fang Zhengse said: "Not only that, but there is a letter from the King of Chu from Lianzhou, saying that Princess Taikang is pregnant. ”

"Ah......h

Hearing the word King of Chu, Liu Jin unconsciously shivered, Liu Jin hated and feared this King of Chu, and he even hoped that there would be no such person in this world at all, and Lianzhou would never exchange any news with Jingshi.

Liu Jin unconsciously touched a scar on his cheek, this scar was left with a whip, it was Liu Chengfeng's masterpiece, whenever he touched this hard and abrupt skin, Liu Jin couldn't help but be frightened, and at the same time, there was a deep hatred jumping in the depths of his heart.

"Princess Taikang is pregnant, what does it have to do with us? They are far away in Lianzhou...... "Liu Jin is almost comforting himself.

However, Jiao Fang did not give Liu Jin the slightest chance to comfort herself, but said mercilessly: "The emperor has no heirs now, and there is no one under the knees of the Empress Dowager Zhang, who has been depressed since the first emperor went away, if this news reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, what will happen to the Queen Mother?" I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will order Princess Taikang to return to Beijing to give birth, and at that time, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is only afraid that he will return to Beijing. Take 10,000 steps back, even if the King of Chu does not return to Beijing, he now has the blood of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and the emperor is as close to him as a brother. But if Jinyiwei is left alone, this change is just empty talk. So the old man came to remind his father-in-law, I am afraid that this change will be accelerated, the old man on the cabinet side is responsible, and the emperor will rely on his father-in-law. ”

This remark made Liu Jin come back to his senses, and he no longer had luck, and said again and again: "Yes, yes, if you don't win Jinyiwei, the change will become a dead letter, and this matter must be done urgently." ”

Jinyiwei is no longer just a simple spy agency, after the operation of the king of Chu, this Jinyiwei has the power of the world, not to mention the Jinyiwei itself's power to investigate, as well as the subordinate investigation department, the annual contribution to the imperial court is nearly 100 million, such a large amount, once it falls into the hands of Liu Jin, there are many things that can be done here. Therefore, the core of the change is Jinyiwei, and the East Factory is not worth mentioning.

Liu Jin had a gloomy face and said: "This matter, the miscellaneous family will step up to deal with it, the emperor is still waiting in the palace, he must be impatient, the two adults should go to the palace to report." ”

Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai glanced at each other, then nodded, and immediately entered the Zhengxin Palace.

Passing the good news to Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic, and said, "My sister is going to give birth?" Was it a boy or a girl? ”

Liu Jin couldn't cry or laugh on the side, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you are only pregnant, and the child is about to give birth, so you have to wait for some time." ”

"Hmm......" Zhu Houzhao patted his head and said: "Of course I know, you are a fool when I am pregnant, don't you even know that you are pregnant for ten months?" I deliberately tested you, you eunuchs, where do you know about a woman giving birth, do you know what a woman is? ”

Saying this, Liu Jin and the others in the palace almost burst into tears, Liu Jin hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the emperor is right, the slave should die, damn." ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his spirit and said: "This is a great thing, Master Liu, that guy, this giving birth to a child is the same as laying eggs, yes, I want to go to Kunning Palace to report the good news to the queen mother, you ...... Go and get ready, quick! ”

As soon as he gave the order, these minions immediately got busy, and Liu Jin came to Zhu Houzhao's side with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is going to have a child again, congratulations." If the Queen Mother knows later, she will definitely be happy, but the matter of changing the law ......"

At this time, Zhu Houzhao didn't care about any changes, and he said coldly, "Didn't you say anything about changing the law?" After the change, I can do whatever I want, and no one can care? But at this time, I'm not in the mood to worry about this, you can take care of it yourself, go and urge, and hurry up. ”

When Liu Jin heard this, he first wanted to cry, and then he was ecstatic, and Zhu Houzhao's original words were to let him handle it, so that this matter can be handled directly without going through the emperor? If this is the case, then as long as the court negotiates the detailed rules on the foreign court, the other celebrant can directly seal and approve it.

Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai, who were standing on the side, never thought that things would go smoothly to this point, they thought that this change would be delayed because of Princess Taikang's happy events, but now the emperor actually pushed all the things directly to Gonggong Liu, and this matter is not just a matter of course.

The change of law related to the future status of Liu Jin, Jiao Fang, and Zhang Cai in the DPRK and China, and happened to give them the cornerstone of justifiable authority, and the heartbeat of the three of them couldn't help but accelerate at this time.

It's just that at this time, where did Zhu Houzhao notice this, and his mind was all on the attitude of the queen mother after hearing the news.
