Seeing that the emperor sent Zhu Hui as the governor of Yansui, Chen Xi could imagine how depressed the two of them as the parties involved would be.

Zhu Hui would think, I finally got out of the quagmire in the northwest, spent a few days in the capital, and enjoyed the glory of success and fame, why did I push me to that damn place again?

Liu Daxia is probably thinking about cursing her!

Zhu Hui did not do personnel except retreating to the war on the battlefield, which almost caused Liu Daxia to hate the Northwest in the 13th year of Hongzhi.

Liu Daxia may think: The emperor clearly didn’t bother me to death at one time, so he is going to do it again!

When Chen Xi saw this arrangement, he put all the responsibility of every man and his feelings about his family and country. No matter whether he wins or loses, he doesn't have to go to the northwest for the time being. No matter how you say it is, it is a war that takes the initiative, similar to the situation in Hongzhi's 13th year. Just don't let yourself clean up the mess in the end.

By the way, even if Liu Daxia was defeated in the northwest, Zhu Hui was powerless. The court wanted to find someone to clean up the mess, but it was still looking for British Duke Zhang Mao. It was not his turn!

After reading the official document, Chen Xi wanted to laugh happily, but he held it back, otherwise it would be gloating if it fell into Yu Niang's eyes.

"What do you think about this arrangement?"

Seeing Chen Xi frowned, Yu Niang couldn't help but ask.

Others were not familiar with Duke Bao Guo Zhu Hui. Yu Niang followed Chenxi to the northwest for three years and witnessed the tragic battle of Yuxi River with her own eyes. She knew what Zhu Hui was.

When Liu Daxia was in danger, Zhu Hui could actually let Chen Xi take hundreds of soldiers to drive the ox cart on the battlefield, while he himself watched the fun on the top of the city. Such a person assisted Liu Daxia in completing the battle in the northwest. It seemed that he wanted to bring about a beginning and an end to Hongzhi's unfinished defeat in the thirteenth year.

After learning the news, Yu Niang was very nervous. She naturally thought it was bad news. The purpose of discussing with Chen Xi was to make Chen Xi volunteer to go to the northwest, even if she was just an aide next to Liu Daxia.

Of course this is just her wishful thinking.

Chen Xi was recruited back to Beijing as the third-rank right deputy chief censor. Even if he wanted to go to the northwest, he was still a governor and governor. He could do odd jobs, but he could not be unclear in his official title, otherwise it would not conform to the rules of the Ming Dynasty.

However, when Chen Xi learned that he didn't have to go to the northwest, he was too happy, so how could he cause trouble? Therefore, when facing Yu Niang's problem, Chen Xi just said in a calm tone: "I think that the Duke of the State is mature and polite, and has more qualifications and prestige than the official. It is really appropriate to have him serve as the governor of Yansui!"

Yu Niang was very anxious when she heard this, thinking: "Mr. Shen is so angry that she actually said such irresponsible words? Does he not know who Duke Baoguo is? His own credit was that most of his stolen money was by Duke Baoguo, and the court has not yet rectified his name..."

"Sir, the war in the northwest cannot be without you! Liu Shangshu is old and has elite soldiers and generals under his command, but someone must always plan for him!" Yu Niang said in a pleading tone.

Chen Xi nodded: "I agree with Yu Niang's statement, but Yu Niang should have thought that the same trick cannot be used twice. I did use the Folang machine cannon to establish my authority on the Tatars, but when I go to the northwest again, the Tatars will not only be prepared, but will also use my command of the troops as the main attack. By then, I am in poverty, and I am afraid that not only will I not be able to complete my errands, but I will also be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty!"

Yu Niang frowned and thought for a long time, and finally understood Chen Xi’s thoughts.

It’s not that Yu Niang hadn’t considered this issue. She thought that Chen Xi was the kind of person who sacrificed her life and went to difficulties for the Ming Dynasty. Now that she wanted to do this, she was actually similar to pushing Chen Xi to die. No wonder Chen Xi was not so passionate about going north from the beginning.

Yu Niang originally thought that Chen Xi could not let go of the Southeast ban, but was due to a strong sense of responsibility. Now she realized that Chen Xi was also afraid of death.

Chen Xi looked at the appointment and removal of the court. His name seemed insignificant in the long list. Instead, those who were transferred to the northwest were particularly dazzling. Among the list of civil servants and generals recruited from the northwest, Chen Xiong, the son of Chen Rui, who had just inherited the title of Earl of Pingjiang.

Chen Rui had similar combat styles to Zhu Hui in the northwest, and he did not dare to confront the Tatars head-on. Chen Rui was still stubborn and respectful. This was also the fundamental reason why Emperor Hongzhi sent Zhu Hui to the northwest to replace Chen Rui.

Now that Chen Rui is dead, Chen Xiong makes up, does he also want to complete his father's unfinished career?

"There must be a reason for the court to use people like this. I should not comment easily. Yu Niang should go back and rest earlier. Since I don't have to go to the northwest, there is no need to be busy rushing. Let's stay in Nanjing for one more day and set off the day after tomorrow!"

Knowing that I don’t have to go to the front line, Chenxi is much more relaxed and has time to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way. A prosperous place like Nanjing is unreasonable if you don’t want to stay for a day. The main reason is that you don’t want to stay before is that you are not in the mood. Now you are all light and the road to the north is not so tight.

In Shen Xi's memory, the Tatars did not have a large-scale experience of invading borders during the Hongzhi period, so they completely relaxed. Since planning the battlefield had nothing to do with him, what Chen Xi had to do now is to go back to his room to take a hot bath, have a comfortable sleep, relax tomorrow, and go to visit the famous places and historical sites of Nanjing, the ancient capital of Daming.

...

...

Chenxi swept away the previous haze, and even felt in the mood to travel around the mountains and rivers.

But another victim in the capital... Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo who replaced Chen Xi as the governor of Yansui, was in panic at this time. Just like Chen Xi's expectation, Zhu Hui didn't want to go to the northwest at all.

When Zhu Hui was in Yulin City, he did not send troops to rescue Liu Daxia. It was not that he did not know the priorities of the matter, but that he did not dare to do so. His idea was not to make achievements and be famous in history, but to just preserve his title and pass it on from generation to generation.

In Zhu Hui's opinion, the performance of his duties in the northwest is a thankless thing. It is good to win, but if he fails, he must be responsible.

Zhu Hui was frightened and didn't understand why Emperor Hongzhi had appointed him to the northwest. The trouble was that the emperor was seriously ill at this time and could not ask for a meeting casually.

There was no other way, so Zhu Hui could only ask for another person involved... Liu Daxia, who went to the northwest with him, was the Minister of War and the Governor of the Three Borders.

Zhu Hui felt that it must be Liu Daxia's back-to-back push, and determined that he was capable and wanted to fight side by side with him again. Zhu Hui was preparing to say hello to Liu Daxia, and then went to submit his resignation to Emperor Hongzhi, telling the emperor that he was old and asked the emperor to send someone else. The key to this was to ask Liu Daxia to help speak.

Zhu Hui felt that he was the Duke of the Ming Dynasty and had a high position and power. He went to Liu Daxia to talk to him about it. Why did Liu Daxia sell his face?

On that day, Zhu Hui asked about Liu Daxia's time to return home, and took advantage of Liu Daxia's staying at home to visit him.

For Liu Daxia, he did not want to see the deposed Duke who almost killed his life three years ago and the fate of the Ming Dynasty. In Liu Daxia's view, Zhu Hui might be better off as the governor of Yansui, but the army always needs someone to be responsible for logistics supplies when going out.

Although Zhu Hui was very cowardly on the battlefield, he at least had prestige and certain scheduling ability.

Liu Daxia wanted to go to see Xie Qian to discuss matters these days, but Xie Qian still did not forgive him for recommending Chen Xi to take office in the northwest. Although Chen Xi was replaced by the northwest, Xie Qian also knew that he had hurt Emperor Hongzhi's heart and took action to never interact with the perpetrator Liu Daxia.

Therefore, no matter how Liu Daxia showed goodwill, Xie Qianhu turned a blind eye to the capital. Even if he encountered it in the cabinet and the six ministries for business, he would just discuss the matter and not say anything coldly.

Liu Daxia met Zhu Hui in the main hall of his home.

Although Liu Daxia was considered the most important minister in the court, he was never as good as the princes and marquis in terms of titles and salaries. This is also a special feature of the nobles. Even if the nobles were not as good as the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Six-Minist Officers in the court, they were defeated or protected by the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor gave them a respectful position that was superior to the court officials.

"...Shangshu Liu, I am quite puzzled. The northwest incident was not three years ago. His Majesty also promised not to activate troops within a few years, but this sudden rebellion and entrusted with important tasks without summoning me. This... is really puzzled!"

In addition to being appointed as the governor of Yansui, Zhu Hui was also depressed that he had not seen Zhu Youzhang himself and could not present him in person, so he could only obey the order.

Liu Daxia said: "Your Majesty is ill. Now that the world is peaceful, the Tatars are in chaos. Isn't it the best time for our dynasty to calm the Tatars disaster?"

"Then why did Your Majesty send Lao I as the Governor of Yansui? Could it be recommended by Shangshu Liu?"

Zhu Hui's face was cold, and he wanted to give Liu Daxia a warning to let Liu Daxia know that he was angry and asked Liu Daxia to take the initiative to go to Emperor Hongzhi to speak for him.

Liu Daxia didn't want to explain anything, but he told him directly: "The transfer of the Duke to the northwest was an order issued by Your Majesty himself. I did not say much in front of Your Majesty, and the rest of the candidates were also drafted by Your Majesty himself."

Zhu Hui thought to himself, it seemed that Liu Shiyong refused to admit it because he was beaten to death. He said immediately: "I don't care whether Liu Shangshu said anything to His Majesty. I have heard of it before. Your Majesty intends to recruit Chen Xi, who is now in the southeast to suppress bandits, and send him to the northwest to governor Yansui. I think this is a talent."

"Three years ago, Chen Xi brought people to help Liu Shangshu succeed in his battle. Although Lao I was well-organized, he did not deny that he was a brave and resourceful young man. Lao I was preparing to recommend this person to Your Majesty, and I also asked Liu Shangshu and Lao I to report together!"

Liu Daxia looked at Zhu Hui in surprise... If things were as easy as you said, I wouldn't have to worry so much now. I really think I want you to take action? It's easy to make Chen Xi go to the northwest, unless Xie Qian dies and the emperor lacks this concern, then Chen Xi can take over you to the northwest.
