Although Zhu Youzhang had no opinion and consulted the opinions of the cabinet ministers and the six ministries and departments in court, and implemented the opinions of the best, he was cautious by nature and asked very detailed questions about the details of Chen Xi's leadership of the army. Chen Xi explained patiently and explained several important battles in Tumu Fort clearly.

Because Chen Xi is very good at writing scripts and novels, he knows how to tell the story ups and downs and is exciting. In his explanation, the journey is full of thrilling, and the despair of being dead is in sharp contrast with the joy of escaping the disaster after defeating the Tatars. It is full of suspense and fascinating.

The ministers in the court, together with Zhu Youzhang, learned about the details of Chen Xi's leadership of troops. After listening, even the ministers who had prejudice against Chen Xi had to admire the ingenious and targeted tactics used by Chen Xi. They asked themselves about the situation of Chen Xi, and they would never think of these ways to deal with the enemy.

Zhu Youzing nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Chen Qing family, you have achieved outstanding achievements in this battle. I only have 6,000 troops with you. What you are stationed at is the old city of Tumu Fort that has been abandoned for a long time. Facing the Tatar bandits that are ten times more than you, you can calmly deal with it and show the majesty of my country in the Great Ming Dynasty. I feel so relieved!"

Zhu Youzing's compliments made the ministers blush and all looked envious and jealous. But to Shen Xi, it was just a summary of his own war, and nothing surprising, but even so, he had to kneel down respectfully and thank him, saying "I dare not."

At this time, Zhu Youzhang still had many questions, including Xie Qian's previous report, where Chen Xi led his troops to fight with the Yibula tribe outside Juyong Pass.

Even Xie Qian was confused at the beginning. Although he heard him tell the story of this war when he left the city and went to Chenxi camp outside Xizhimen, he still didn't understand it thoroughly. Therefore, the previous report was unclear and only explained the general situation. The emperor was puzzled and was afraid that Chenxi would report his military achievements in vain, so he asked.

Since Emperor Hongzhi spoke, Chen Xi could only explain one by one that he did not dare to make a contribution. He emphasized that Liu Daxia was far-sighted and had a strong sense of knowledge and emphasized the important role of the cavalry in this battle. Because what Chen Xi said was in line with the subjective conjectures of the wise rulers and ministers, after Chen Xi finished explaining, no one doubted the authenticity of what he said. They all felt that Chen Xi "knows the general" and knew how to be humble and polite. When he looked at him again, he felt that he was much more pleasing to him.

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, Liu Shangshu is planning and has made up for his mistakes in Yansui Town's defeat. After he defeated his merits and demerits, he still made great contributions to the country and country of the Ming Dynasty!"

The chief minister of the cabinet took the initiative to speak good things for Liu Daxia, and the other ministers could only follow and sing praises for Liu Daxia.

Liu Daxia had almost no political enemies in the court, so there were people carrying flowers in the sedan chairs, and no one took the opportunity to take the blame.

The only ministers present hated Liu Daxia to the core was Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang. Through Jiang Liwei's mouth, he knew that Liu Daxia had targeted their brothers everywhere. When he first investigated the deficit in the treasury, he caused the two brothers to lose tens of thousands of taels of silver. However, Zhang Yanling did not have much say in the court. Seeing that all the ministers present praised Liu Daxia, he naturally would not foolishly jump out and make things boring.

When Zhu Youzhang saw that all the ministers present supported Liu Daxia, he nodded immediately: "What you all said is very true. Although Shangshu Liu was wrong in this battle, he would roughly make up for his mistakes later. I will consider it as appropriate!"

The emperor did not finalize that Liu Daxia's merits and demerits were compared, but said that "it was roughly enough to make up for the demerits." The implication is that whether Liu Daxia had any contributions in this battle, everything had to wait for Liu Daxia to return to the capital to discuss. Now it is just a test of the gains and losses of Chen Xi's troops. As ministers, you must be aware of each other and don't be fooled with me. If you encounter opportunities, you will excuse Liu Daxia.

Except for the Zhang brothers, all the ministers present were old ministers who had been living for decades. They were good at observing their words and expressions. When they saw that the emperor did not want to ask about Liu Daxia's question, they kept silent.

What Zhu Youzhang asked next was the situation where Chen Xi withdrew his troops back to Juyongguan, and then reorganized his troops from Juyongguan to return to the capital. Chen Xi answered one by one.

When Zhu Youzhang heard Chen Xi talk about the situation when he withdrew his troops from west of Yizhou and returned to Beijing under the order, he finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"I remember the Chen Qing family has worked hard all the way and made achievements for the Ming Dynasty. With such a good minister in the Chen Qing family sharing my worries, why worry about the Ming Dynasty?"

The ministers all knelt down and said, "Your Majesty said so much!"

Although some people present didn't like Chen Xi, such as Zhang Yanling, Li Dongyang and others, they had to be sure of Chen Xi's outstanding performance in this series of wars. The emperor had already determined Chen Xi's contributions, so it would not make much sense for them to take the initiative to stand up and sing the opposite tune.

Chen Xi was transferred back to Beijing and no longer had to lead troops out of the frontier to pursue the Tatar soldiers. The task assigned to him by the court was successfully completed. If he attacked him again, he would seem petty. After all, no matter how great Chen Xi made, he was just a "rise" and would not affect the status of any minister present.

Zhu Youzang waved his hand and said, "The Chen Qing family has a hard journey. After handing over the errands, go back and rest. I will assign the Chen Qing family's errands to do the next day. Now the Tatars have not been tamed, so the capital's defense must not be slackened!"

Liu Jian took the lead in salute: "Abide by Your Majesty's instructions!"

...

...

After the court meeting ended, Chen Xi followed the ministers out of the Ganqing Palace.

Except for Xie Qian, the others were all in a hurry and quickly dispersed.

Chen Xi followed Xie away for a while, and when no one else asked, "Gei, when will the soldiers outside the city be transferred to the capital?"

Xie Qian said angrily: "The faster the before, the better, but now... don't rush for a moment. You should understand some rules, right?"

Chen Xi knew what Xie Qian was talking about.

Now the capital is surrounded, and the soldiers under his command need to go through "political review" to enter the city to prevent those who are ill-behaved from scrambling to cause mutiny and affecting the stability of the country and country of Ming Dynasty. But Chen Xi thought that his commander had entered the city, and the group of soldiers under his command were waiting outside the city, and he felt uneasy.

Xie Qian said earnestly: "Chen Xi, I have to think about many things in a good way. Don't act like a court to kill a donkey. You have to know that your current situation is much better than when you returned to Beijing from Southeast! Your Majesty has a high evaluation and expectations for you. In the future, I will recommend you to return to Hanyuan..."

Chen Xi interrupted Xie Qian: "Didn't you join the Sixth Ministry?"

Xie Qian glared at Chen Xi, then sighed: "If you want to join the Sixth Ministry, I will naturally find someone to move, but if Your Majesty wants to send you out of Nanjing, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

Xie Qian was old and knew the nature of the court. With Chen Xi's qualifications, even if he was transferred to the Sixth Ministry, he could not be a minister. At most, he could be a minister. The position he would not be assigned to Chen Xi. The main reason was that Chen Xi's official rank and merits were there. In fact, he was only a third-rank official, and he was truly a talented person.

But in terms of seniority, Chen Xi is definitely not qualified to be the Minister of the Six Ministry, because the Minister is already an official of the Six Ministry, and he is not competent by just talking casually. It requires a lot of practical support. The matters responsible have involved the normal operation of the state machinery, and if it is not done well, there will be a big mess.

In Xie Qian's view, since Chen Xi did not have the qualifications to serve as the Minister of the Six Ministry, and Chen Xi insisted on staying in the Six Ministry, there was only one solution, and he transferred Chen Xi to Nanjing City to serve as the Minister of the Six Ministry of Nanjing.

The Ming Dynasty had a small court in Nanjing. The structure of the six ministries was no different from that of the capital. Even the official ranks were the same. However, in terms of status, the six ministries in Nanjing were incomparable to the six ministries in Beijing. Chen Xi was transferred from Nanjing to serve as the assistant minister of the six ministries, which was like being exiled. This was not the result that Xie Qian hoped to see.

Chen Xi was much more calm and bowed: "Thank you, Master, for reminding me, the students don't care!"

If it were the case before, Chen Xi thought it was good to stay in the Hanlin Academy, at least it was precious and could receive a salary with peace and stability, and he would be promoted step by step. Now he understood the principle that being with the king is like being with a tiger. In the early years of Zhengde's succession, there would be a great political upheaval. Even if Liu Jin could not take advantage of the situation, there would still be a new and old alternation. The more he was valued by Zhu Houzhao, the more severe the suppression of him by the civil servant group, and the more bumpy the career of the official career would be.

Since the wish to transfer the local area outside the country could not be achieved, it would be good if Shen Xi wanted to come to Nanjing City to perform his duties. He went to Nanjing's small court first to stay in a few years. When he returned to the capital at the age of 20 or 30, Zhu Houzhao was basically mature at that time. He returned to Beijing to assist the emperor, and did things with half the effort.

If he was favored by Zhu Houzhao at a young age, the ministers might criticize him, and maybe he might be classified as a treacherous party, and he would be restrained everywhere, and he would not be able to do anything, and would leave a bad reputation in history.

Xie Qian sneered and glanced at Chen Xi: "Don't think it's easy to return to the capital. If you are busy with the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army, you can do it earlier. Go back to the mansion before nightfall!"

After saying that, Xie Qian accelerated his pace and went to chase Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, leaving Chen Xi aside and ignored him.

Chen Xi also knew that reporting his duties was not just about meeting a saint. He had to submit a memorial and finish it. He also had to go to the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army to submit a complete marching report, return military talismans, tokens and official documents... These things were enough to keep him busy for a while.

Chen Xi couldn't help but speed up. When he arrived at Huijimen, he saw Xie Qian, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang talking in front of Wenyuan Pavilion. He suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but feel excited:

"Oh, I forgot to ask Mr. Xie if he told his home about my safe return to Beijing. Isn't the family going to mourn me now, right?"
