Liu Daxia did not come forward to help Zhu Hui, but did not offend him. After all, everyone would work together in the northwest in the future, and they still hoped that Zhu Hui could help, but they just put the blame on Xie Qian.

Zhu Hui left Liu Daxia's mansion and had no choice but to go to Xie Qian's mansion to try his luck. But when he came, he told Xie Qian that he was not here. Zhu Hui went to the cabinet again, but he couldn't find anyone, so he had to return home depressed.

No one knew that at this time, Xie Qian was running for the personnel arrangements after Chen Xi returned to the capital.

Chen Xi was transferred from the position of governor of the three southeastern provinces to return to Beijing. He was originally arranged to take over as the governor of Yansui. The emperor changed his mind and revoked the personnel appointment and removal in the middle of the journey. However, the imperial edict had been issued and the transfer order had taken effect. It was no longer appropriate to change the order in the morning and evening and then send Chen Xi to the southeast for office.

Chen Xi always had to have an official position after returning to Beijing. Xie Qian did not want Chen Xi to be idle, so Xie Qian used his connections to go to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites to help Chen Xi fight for it.

Needless to say, Chen Xi came from the Hanlin system, and being able to serve in the Ministry of Rites is considered to be the result of the correct origin. And leaving the Ministry of Personnel is to allow Chen Xi to join the other five departments.

Xie Qianbao went to Chenxi, but he also believed that Chenxi should not be too big now. In fact, it is best to return to Zhanshi's mansion to serve as the right son, enter the Eastern Palace lecture class, and give lectures to the prince. If Chenxi's official cannot be restored to his post, then let Chenxi go to the Sixth Ministry, or the Censorate, or the Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taipu Temple, and Honglu Temple.

The Six Ministers should be the best place to go.

Chen Xi was promoted to the third rank and was also a meritorious person. It makes sense to be a minister, but Chen Xi had no reputation in the court. Xie Qian dared not ask for extravagance, thinking that it was also a good choice to let Chen Xi perform his duties as the Censorate, or be the Shaoqing of the Five Temples. One step back and let Chen Xi join the Tongzheng Department as the Tongzheng Department or the right Tongzheng.

Chen Xi was transferred to the southeast as governor, and was a member of the imperial envoy. After returning to the capital, the personnel appointment and removal should have been decided by the emperor, but Xie Qian knew that because of his stubbornness and sang against the emperor, the emperor was very disappointed with him and Shen Xi. He was likely to punitively throw Chen Xi into idleness after Shen Xi returned to the capital.

The reason is very simple, that is, there is no official shortage... Chen Xi will suffer a silence at that time.

Xie Qian didn't know that Chen Xi was reluctant to be thrown away now, and thought that it was his attitude that harmed Chen Xi, so he quickly helped Chen Xi to move.

The worst result that Xie Qian thought was to let Chen Xi join the Sixth Ministry as a doctor. He was transferred from the fifth rank Zuo Shuzi to the Sixth Ministry as a doctor. He was also a fifth rank, which was considered a "event". Although this was a derogatory reprimand, in Xie Qian's opinion, it was much better than Chen Xi being thrown into idleness.

Chen Xi will return to Beijing in late July, but the memorials submitted by Chen Xi arrived in early July.

A letter from Chen Xi to Xie Qian was sent to the capital at the same time with Chen Xi’s report on his work and memorials for merit.

On this day, Emperor Hongzhi was rarely in good spirits. He walked around the ground and met three cabinet ministers and asked about government affairs.

Xie Qian had just come out of the Ganqing Palace and learned that Chen Xi's letter arrived in Beijing. Calculate the days, Chen Xi should be on the way back to Beijing on the Beihuan. Li Dongyang was in good health these days and could be on duty at Wenyuan Pavilion in the evening. When he had time to go home, he did not ask his family to send Chen Xi's letter to the palace, so as not to be found out.

Xie Qian returned home and opened Chen Xi's letter after entering the study.

This is the first letter Chen Xi sent to Xie Qian. It was written by Chen Xi after learning about his transfer to the north in Fuzhou City. In addition to explaining some of the situations in the suppression of bandits in the southeast, Chen Xi also mentioned Xie Hengnu's pregnancy, and Chen Xi's confession about his "young and vigorous" and incompetent to the position of the northwest...

To put it bluntly, Chen Xi was just playing the emotional card and asked Xie Qian to help him turn off his errands.

Xie Qian was worried when he didn't look at it. After seeing it, his face was full of smiles. Chen Xi was smarter than he thought. Even if it was a private message, he still said it very obscurely and even expressed a large number of loyalty to the court. In fact, it was to prevent the letter from being read by some interested people, and use it as a handle to criticize Chen Xi and Xie Qian.

Xie Qian muttered, "You boy, do you think I want to push you to the northwest? I can help you, why don't you help you? This time you have caused me to suffer! Even Your Majesty is about to lose trust in me. When you return to the capital, I will definitely mention you a little bit and let you cultivate your character well!"

Realizing that Chen Xi's attitude towards the northwest was the same as his, Xie Qian felt relieved, and now there was only the problem of Chen Xi's settlement after returning to Beijing.

Zhu Hui finally had no chance to see Xie Qian, so he quickly set off with Liu Daxia and left Beijing, heading for the northwest, preparing for war before the New Year, and starting at the end of the year.

Perhaps Emperor Hongzhi experienced the sweetness of the war before the cold winter three years ago, so he specially set the time for this war to begin at the beginning of October. This was the time when the weather in the north turned cold and had not yet reached the snow. It was also the beginning of Liu Daxia's description of "Autumn Fargo in the Northern Fan Land".

There are sayings of winter famine and spring famine in the Ming Dynasty.

Autumn is the season for farming people to harvest, and there is no famine. However, on the grassland, due to the special geographical environment, the grass and trees wither and livestock feed will be greatly reduced in autumn and winter, making nomadic peoples difficult for autumn and winter.

In Liu Daxia's view, autumn is the best time to send troops to the north, and this period is also the time when the Tatars prefer to go south to plunder winter supplies in the traditional sense.

The strategic plan has been arranged. Although Xie Qian knew that he would be busy during this period before the end of the year, when he thought that Chen Xi was about to return to the capital, he suddenly felt that the pressure on his shoulders had been greatly reduced.

If Chen Xi comes up with advice, Xie Qianda could bring some official documents back and ask Chen Xi to help him and discuss them. Even if it involves the Northwest strategy, Chen Xi can also ask him to give advice.

Xie Qian really wanted to be the master of military strategy who was planning and fighting thousands of miles away, but he knew how much he was. He was not good at military and political affairs, and when he was old, he couldn't keep up with his energy, so he often learned to be lazy. Chen Xi happened to return to the capital and could complete this work for him.

Xie Qian was very confident in Chen Xi's military talent. After all, when he submitted the plan for Emperor Hongzhi's northern border, it was made by Chen Xi. Until now, Emperor Hongzhi still felt that Mr. Xie was a military genius, but Xie Qian's talent was "stealing" by Chen Xi.

Xie Qian would never admit that this was stealing, but only considered it a kind of "reference".

Xie Qian put the letter in his arms, walked to the door of the study, and ordered to the servant: "Get in and tell the wife to come out."

The servant was confused and asked, "Master, which lady?"

Xie Qian was angry as soon as he heard this and scolded: "Why are there two ladies in the mansion?..."

After a second thought, I realized why the servants asked this question. It was because Xie Qian was so kind to his concubine. In addition, the concubine Jin Anren gave birth to several sons for him. In the servants' heart, the servants could not even determine who was the mistress of the Xie family. The status of the wife, Mrs. Xu, was too embarrassing, and even the only existing son, Xie Pi, was adopted to Mrs. Lu.

In any big family, the status of a woman depends on her husband's love, the number of children and the achievements she has achieved. In both, Mrs. Xu has no such thing as her old age and loses her husband's heart, and her son becomes someone else's, and even her only granddaughter is married.

"Remember, there is only one wife in the mansion! Go and spread it!" Xie Qian said angrily.

The servants didn't understand where the master got so angry, but since Xie Qian emphasized that there was only one wife, it must be the wife Xu.

At this moment, Xie Qian was actually angry with himself. He was too busy with business and didn't care much about his wife's feelings after he came back, so his wife's status at home had dropped sharply, and family servants would ask such rude questions.

When Mrs. Xu came out of the inner courtyard and arrived at the study, she was still puzzled. Her master came back to the evening and didn't go directly to Teng's concubine, but called her out. Could something big happened?

"master."

Mrs. Xu doesn’t fight for anything now. Honest people are easily bullied. They probably mean the type like Mrs. Xu.

Xie Qian was too strong at home, so Mrs. Xu never dared to argue with her husband.

Xie Qian said coldly: "What kind of morality do you have when you are frowning all day long? It's not up to your expression when you come back for your husband!"

Mrs. Xu was used to being scolded by her husband and didn't feel anything. She said stutteringly: "What the master said is, I'll pay attention to it later, but... I really have nothing to do, how can I be happy?"

The husband doesn't love his son and doesn't love him. He wants Mrs. Xu to laugh a little bit, Xie Qian said with a gloomy face: "It won't take a few more days before Shen Xi will come back to the capital."

"Is that true, master? Oh, more than a year has passed, and Jun'er... has come back with Lord Shen?" Mrs. Xu was very happy to know that her grandson-in-law was coming back, but Shen Xi was not her grandson. No matter how good Shen Xi was, she was still someone else's child. What she cared more about was how Xie Hengnu was.

Xie Qian said: "Jun'er will be delayed by about one month. He should be able to return to Beijing before the end of August, or later. Shen Xi said in particular that Jun'er will not go too fast on the way back to Beijing, so as not to get angry."

"Feal Qi!? Is Jun'er pregnant?"

After receiving her husband's nodding and affirmative answer, Mrs. Xu almost covered her face and cried. For her, Xinyue, who heard that her granddaughter was about to give birth to a child and had a great-grandson, was the most sincere. "Oh, Master, then will we live in the same family for four generations in the future?"

"If four generations want to live together, that's the Shen family. What's the matter with our Xie family? Don't cry and wipe your tears. The family will sit down tonight for a meal, and I'll spend the night with you tonight." Xie Qian said coldly.

Mrs. Xu didn't know what time it was.

The grandson-in-law is going to come back first, and the granddaughter is going to come back too. The granddaughter is still pregnant, and the husband here is more pity for her and he actually wants to spend the night in her room.

Mrs. Xu can't remember how long it took for her husband to stay overnight in her room. As a traditional woman, she never complained because she has always adhered to the "three obediences and four virtues" and understood that she was her husband's wife and was responsible for the family. As for other things, she endured everything, and wanted to see her husband and couldn't sleep alone every day.

Mrs. Xu made arrangements, her face full of smiles, and she thought with relief: "It's still my little Jun'er who has the ability. She's pregnant shortly after the door. It seems that Lord Shen really cherishes her. It's so good... The master stayed in my room, and it was also worthy of Jun'er. I can't count on having a son. In the future, Xiao Jun'er will help me get some of the master's care, and I can comfort myself even when I'm old!"
