The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 291 Zhu Xizhou's Background
In history, isn't Zhengde going out to study in the next year, that is, the tenth year of Hongzhi?Why is it early?
Could it be that the butterfly effect has affected the time when the prince left the cabinet to study?
But now it is the end of September in the ninth year of Hongzhi, and it is only half a year after the time when the prince left the pavilion to study in history, and some important points should not have changed.
However, if Zhengde leaves the cabinet to study in advance, some things really need to be prepared.

Xie Shen cupped his hands at Deng Yuan and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Deng, but I don't know what chance Xie has to be appreciated by His Majesty."

Serving as a lecturer in the Eastern Palace requires not only knowledge, but also qualifications.

And seniority is something that depends on experience. How can a young boy like Xie Shen who has just entered the officialdom have any seniority.

But Xie Shen also has his own advantages, that is, he is young.

There is still a big difference between a waiter and a lecturer.The lecturer needs to be highly respected, and the attendant should be as young as possible, so as to play the role of companion with the East Palace.

Xie Shen is young enough and has a high reputation. The most important thing is that Jane is in the heart of the emperor, so there may not be no chance.

All he needs is an opportunity.

Xie Shen's surprise was seen by Deng Yuan, and he couldn't help being in a good mood.

Since he cooperated with Xie Shen, his journey has been smooth and smooth, and he has almost reached the pinnacle of his life.But he always felt uncomfortable somewhere. Thinking about it carefully, Xie Shen was too perfect and too strong.

Everything planned by him will be done perfectly.

But Deng Yuan played more of an executive role in it, without a strong sense of accomplishment.

But Deng Yuan was the first to know about the fact that the prince left the pavilion to study in advance, even the eunuch Wang Yue didn't know about it.

What scholars think in their hearts is nothing more than rising to the top, and Deng Yuan saw this very clearly.

"Xie Xiuzhuan, you are too modest. Among the young courtiers, you are probably the only one who thinks that Jane is in the emperor's heart. You don't need to worry about other things, you only need to worry about one person."

"Who?"

Xie Shen asked instinctively.

"Zhu Xizhou."

Eunuch Deng paused word by word.

Zhu Xizhou?
Hearing the name Xie Shen was quite surprised.This guy is just a good man, an intern, and he doesn't even have work experience, so it's impossible for him to be the lecturer of the Eastern Palace.

But after thinking about it, he understood what Eunuch Deng meant.

Eunuch Deng was worried that Zhu Xizhou would play tricks secretly and trip him up.

"What is Zhu Xizhou's background that makes Eunuch Deng so worried?"

Be careful sailing for thousands of years, Xie Shen doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.

After all, the capital hides the dragon and crouching tiger, in case Zhu Tongnian has a deep background and wants to take revenge, Xie Shen has to make preparations early.

"I'm afraid Xie Xiuzhuan doesn't know, Zhu Xizhou and Li Guang have a close relationship, right?"

Li Guang?Eunuch Li?

How did Zhu Xizhou, a concubine, hook up with Eunuch Li?
Deng Yuan said indifferently: "I heard that Li Guang has a hobby of keeping beautiful concubines. There are dozens of maids in his private house in the capital."

Having said that, Deng Yuan paused for a moment, staring straight at Xie Shen.

Xie Shen was a little apprehensive, so he asked, "Why does Li Guang keep so many beautiful concubines in the mansion?"

Xie Shen has read a lot of unofficial history, which shows that some eunuchs such as Wei Zhongxian entered the palace by eunuchs, and the eunuchs were not clean. Could it be that Li Guang is also such a eunuch, who can do humane things.

After thinking about it for a while, Xie Shen felt sick and frowned.

Eunuch Deng laughed and said: "Li Guang is deeply favored by the emperor, so he is responsible for all the purchases in the palace. There are countless wealthy merchants who want to do business with the palace. In order to please Li Guang, they sent beautiful women to Li Guangchong as concubines." Maid. Zhu Xizhou gave his own sister to Li Guang and got his appreciation."

Xie Shen took a deep breath and said, "Why is this person so shameless?"

But when he thought about it again, Zhu Xizhou's mind was evident in Zhu Xizhou's vengeful temperament.It's not unusual to do something like sending my sister to Eunuch Li.

"Our family has checked the background of Zhu Xizhou's family background. His uncle is a big salt merchant in Zhejiang Province. It must be because he wanted to get salt from Li Guang that Zhu Xizhou came forward and gave his sister to Li Guang as a meeting gift."

Xie Shen knew that Li Guang was still favored by the emperor until the fall of Hongzhi in the last years of his life.It is normal for him to hold some salt in his hand.

But Xie Shen was still puzzled, why did Eunuch Li keep so many concubines.

This can only look at the taste of not being able to eat, tsk tsk.

As if seeing what Xie Shen was thinking, Deng Yuan said with a smile: "These beautiful concubines will be thrown by Li Guang at will for the enjoyment of the princes in the court. Many dignitaries in Beijing have come and gone from Li Guang's private house, Xie Xiuzhuan thought Did they all go to chat with Li Guang?"

hiss!
Xie Shen gasped.

Could it be that Li Guang opened a brothel in his mansion?
It's just that this brothel is not open to ordinary customers, only high-ranking officials and dignitaries come here, maybe even ministers.

Naturally, what Li Guang is looking for is not money, but probably contacts.

As an eunuch whose spine was pointed at by others, the best way to protect himself was to form an alliance with civil servants.

The more civil servants Li Guang made friends with, the safer he would be.

The knife and pen official will definitely make people lose their flesh when they are ruthless. Li Guang's greed for money is greedy but not stupid. Holding enough cards in his hand is the way to survive.

It's just that I didn't expect Li Guang's way of making friends with civil servants to be so heavy-handed. It can be seen that the glamorous and well-dressed pillars of the Ming Dynasty are all beasts in clothes.

In online novels, giving away daughters is a big poison, and this Zhu Xizhou is even willing to give away his own sister.

This little sister Zhu was born in such a mercenary family.

After what Eunuch Deng said, Xie Shen basically outlined Li Guang's relationship network.

It is nothing more than using the purchasing power in their hands to make those merchants who want to take business in the palace to actively donate beauties.

In this way, Li Guang will not take any risks, and there will never be charges such as robbing civilian women.

And Li Guang would order these nominal concubines and maidservants to provide free services to the dignitaries in the court, so as to achieve the purpose of accumulating contacts for self-protection.

It's just pity for those concubines and maidservants, their life is in Li Guang's hands, so they have to smash their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, it's really sad.

"Our family just forgot to mention that Li Guang not only likes to raise beautiful women, but also likes to raise some handsome boys. Some adults in this court are very fond of this."

Deng Yuan got excited when he spoke, spit sprayed all over the place, almost splashed on Xie Shen's face.

It is recognized that the scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty are good men.It's just that when Xie Shen read historical materials in his previous life, these explosive news were mostly seen in local places.

Unexpectedly, at the feet of the emperor, these people dare to be so presumptuous.

"Deng Gonggong is worried that Zhu Xizhou will not be reconciled to Xie being the Minister of the Eastern Palace, so he slandered His Majesty through Li Guangzhi?"

Xie Shen said in a deep voice.

Deng Yuan nodded and said: "Li Guang's holy family is prosperous, don't say that our family is inferior to him in this point, even princes and Xiao Gong. Xie Xiuzhuan should pay more attention these days, don't call him What kind of handle is that guy holding on to?"
