Tao Yan's purpose of coming to see Chen Xi was not only notifying the Chen Xi court that there had been any changes in his appointment, but also asking Chen Xi to stay in Fuzhou City for the time being waiting for the order of transfer, but also wanted to set off with Chen Xi to head north so that there would be some care on the way.

This made Chen Xi dislike Tao Yan very much.

My business in Fujian and Guangdong has just improved, and now the layout has just been completed. I will wait until the bandits are put down and develop people's livelihood and cultivate party members in the officialdom of the three provinces. It is best to make a smooth transition between Hongzhi and Zhengde. Whether it is Liu Jin calling the wind and rain in the court, or what else can be used to be a treacherous slander who can defeat the court's principles as Zhu Houzhao, it has nothing to do with me.

This battle won't be the head of a local official, perhaps because I have the power of the local military, they have to curry favor with me and win over me.

Now, I have to force me to return to Beijing. Tao Yan seems to be in charge of supervision and "escort" me on the road. Do you want me to give you a good look?

No way!

After Tao Yan left, the General Secretary and the Commander General did not send anyone to see Chen Xi. The people from the Sansi Yamen might have known in advance that Chen Xi was going back to the capital. They knew that there was no meaning to be close to Chen Xi at the moment, so they didn't even want to meet him.

Originally, the Fujian commander Chang Lan had a good relationship with Chen Xi. He had been cooperating with Chen Xi during the military mobilization. Chen Xi now didn't know what Chang Lan was thinking. Logically speaking, Chang Lan knew that he was going back to Beijing and would come to him to visit him. Even if Shangguan was not as good as the current manager, he would have to deal with him in the future in the future.

Chen Xi was not very energetic to write a letter from his family. In the future where he was unknown, he should be more cautious. Don’t just say that he would lead troops to fight the bandits, but the order for the transfer of the capital on the other side was arrived. He wanted to return to the capital and even head straight to the northwest, which only increased the worries of the whole family.

The best result now is to continue to combat bandits according to the previous plan, followed by returning to Beijing to become a lecturer in the East Palace, or transferring six ministries to handle the work, but the result was that he could not avoid the ** in the court in the early years of Zhengde.

The worst result is to go to the northwest to be the governor of Yansui.

If this position is only responsible for the city guarding and military command dispatch, it would be fine, but at worst, he would deal with the nobles in the northwest, and would be afraid of being sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder. Then he would rather resign and return to his hometown and wait for a few years before returning.

Just as Shen Xi was planning, Jing Yue hurriedly walked into the main hall, holding a thin envelope in his hand, without a signature on it. Jing Yue looked very nervous when he walked to Chen Xi, and said, "Sir, the information has been retrieved. I didn't dare to open it on Beizhi Road. Please read it!"

"Um."

Chen Xi took the envelope, took it in his hand and looked at it. Finally, he opened the envelope, and there was only a piece of white paper inside.

Jing Yue couldn't help but leaned over and wanted to see what was written on it. Chen Xi glanced at him and waved his hand and said, "You retreat first, I'll call you if you have something to do!"

Jing Yue was curious because whether Chen Xi showed him the content of the letter meant whether Chen Xi trusted him, treated him as his own person and promoted him and reused him.

Jing Yue is now the captain of Chen Xi's personal guard. Even if he has some military achievements, others still look down on him and think that he is just a soldier who shouts in front of Chen Xi.

Chen Xi realized that Jing Yue had a somewhat unbalanced mentality, but no matter what, the letters written by Hui Niang and Li Jin could not be seen by outsiders, because it meant that he was asking for trouble.

In this world, Chen Xi truly believes in nothing but the female relatives around him. He is very self-centered in many things, or to put it bluntly, because his words and actions are very different from those of the Ming Dynasty, which is an imbalance in mentality caused by the differences in the times.

Chen Xi has many secrets in his heart, but he cannot tell him.

"This matter is of great importance. I will explain it to you clearly when you look back, but there cannot be any leakage now. Now you are the only one in the army. You must keep the secret carefully and understand?"

Chen Xi raised Jing Yue’s identity a little bit. Jing Yue, the only one in the army, knew this secret. This is not considered trust in you, so what is considered trust?

Sure enough, Jing Yue felt enlightened when he heard this and swears: "Don't worry, sir, this matter will never be leaked to a third party. I will retire now and not disturb sir to read confidential information!"

After the person left, Chen Xi turned on the letter paper, with only a small and beautiful character on it. Chen Xi knew it was Li Jin's handwriting: "Zi."

A simple and clear letter, one word, makes Chen Xi feel at ease.

Hui Niang gave birth to a son for him. Although the letter did not state whether the mother and son were safe, at least when writing the letter, the mother and son should be safe, because Li Jin summarized it in only one word. If there was really something, she would never dare to hide it.

In fact, Chen Xi had thought before that Hui Niang was not her first child after all, and she knew many things herself, and the probability of natural childbirth was very high. On the contrary, this time Xie Hengnu became pregnant, and Chen Xi was even more worried. After all, Xie Hengnu was just a little girl and had to give birth. She was not familiar with her, so she was going to have children, so she was prone to problems when giving birth to her first child.

During childbirth, Chen Xi may not be with Hui Niang, but he must be with Xie Hengnu to be at ease. After all, he knows some first aid measures. Even if there is a problem, he can try his best to make peace between all and all.

This requires him not to go to the northwest to perform his duties. Once he goes to Sanbian, his family must stay in his hometown or the house in the capital. It will take him one or two years or even three or five years to go there. In comparison, it has been much easier to suppress bandits in the southeast.

Originally, Chen Xi should have been happy with an extra son, but when he thought that the child's mother was Hui Niang, he felt a little depressed. This involved Hui Niang's attitude. After all, he had no confidence and could not completely occupy Hui Niang's heart. At the same time, he was worried about what would happen if Hui Niang had no one to accompany her after giving birth.

Care will cause chaos. Chen Xi suddenly felt that returning to Beijing did not seem to be a bad thing. At least he didn't have to worry about suppressing bandits for the time being, and he could meet his family, although he knew it was difficult.

Once the transfer order is received, Chen Xi should return to Beijing quickly to report his life, while his family members will then return to Beijing, either stay in Guangzhou Prefecture or return to their hometown in Tingzhou.

These days, scholars go to other places to study and become officials. They cannot force themselves to take their families, especially their wives and children on the road, and they cannot have this idea when they join the army and the frontier.

Even the nobles such as Baoguo Duke Zhu Hui went northwest, and they could not bring their families around them, and the court would not make any changes for one person.

...

...

After nightfall, Chenxi was sleepless and worked hard for a year, the fight against the bandits finally achieved results. Now all efforts are likely to be wasted.

In Shen Xi's opinion, working in the northwest is not much different from dying.

He knew the temperament of those people in the court very well. Everything needs young people with low qualifications to rush forward. If something happens, the younger generation will naturally bear the responsibility. The court has always treated the nobles very favorably. When calculating the credit, these nobles who did not work hard or even helped the bad guys jumped out to seek credit. Needless to say, the reward must be theirs.

"Sir, someone has come to visit and sent letters."

When the son was approaching, Jing Yue came in after asking for instructions outside the camp, holding another letter in his hand, "It was said that it was for you, I'm not afraid to take it apart."

Chen Xi frowned: "Don't I tell you that the matter is of great importance, and you have to open and check every letter?"

Jing Yue laughed awkwardly: "There is no such thing as a humble official, but the humble official is in charge of you, and he is afraid that he will delay major events due to negligence."

Chen Xi didn't say anything else, took the letter and opened it and read it, and then stood up.

Jing Yue widened his eyes: "Sir, has something happened?"

"It's nothing, don't be too nervous. Invite the sender in... You should recognize the person, right?" Chen Xi asked.

Jing Yue smiled and said, "Of course I recognize that people came to the army before and sent two more... I will go out to spread the word."

Now Jing Yue has become smart. He has changed his past and is always straightforward and will definitely blurt out anything. The one who gave Chen Xi two beauties was naturally Yu Niang. Chen Xi always thought she had returned to Beijing, but calculating the date of departure, Yu Niang has only been away for less than two months. It is difficult to take a one-way trip from Guangdong to Beijing, let alone a round trip.

Yu Niang was still wearing handsome men's clothing. She was alert and entered the flower hall of Guanyi's backyard, which was the place where Chen Xi temporarily used it as a study that night.

Chen Xi waved his hand, and Jing Yue retreated, leaving only Chen Xi and Yu Niang in the room.

The two were alone many times, but unfortunately even Chen Xi himself didn't understand why. Every time he saw Yu Niang, he felt awkward, or he felt in his heart that in such a strict society, the great affairs of the court should not always be with a woman.

Yu Niang came up to salute: "Sir, are you okay?"

"Is the whereabouts of Yuzhu's family too mysterious? I thought you had returned to Beijing several times, but in the end, I still appeared beside me. Does Yuzhu's family have an errand that he has not finished his job and must wait until the solution is completed before leaving?"

Chen Xi's tone was not good, "Or the job of Yu Tang's family is to specifically track and supervise my official, and be an invisible military supervisor around me. You are staring at me every move, and wait until I turn back and report to the court?"

Yu Niang heard the unhappiness in Chen Xi's words and quickly denied it: "My lord laughed. I only went back and forth between Yingtian Mansion once, and rushed back without stopping. She also told the court's latest order... The Ministry of Personnel recruited the master to return to Beijing, and there was another way to tell me."

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Shouldn't there be a transfer order for the imperial court in this matter? Can the Yu family carry the transfer order with you?"

Yu Niang said embarrassedly: "Never."

"Then how do you make me believe you?"

Chen Xi asked coldly, "I am pacifying bandits in the southeast. The court wants to recruit my officers to return to Beijing to make other statements. How can I play this? I find someone to tell you, and there is no strategy for subsequent bandit suppression. Isn't I let my officer leave his post without any help? Or is the Yu family think that my officer is a person with a beginning and a miserable end?"

Yu Niang shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter if Lord Shen doesn't believe it. I just arrived two days earlier than the messenger. It won't take long to get the order to be transmitted..."

"Sir, please stay in Fuzhou for the time being. It's not too late to decide when the transfer order arrives. I just want the adults to be mentally prepared in advance..."
