When Chen Xi learned that the troops he had led were transferred to the capital by the emperor's order, he was having tea in the lobby of the Ministry of War.

It's true to drink tea!

Chen Xi originally went to the Ministry of War to report the remaining weapons, firearms, mules, horses, food, and supplies of his troops. However, no one from the Ministry of War was welcomed and he was allowed to wait in the lobby of the Ministry of War.

Until the afternoon was approaching sunset, when Chen Xi felt that he could go home leisurely, the palace suddenly issued an imperial edict to the Ministry of War, asking the Ministry of War to be responsible for the reign of the army into the city.

Chen Xi knew that it was Wang Shouren who was responsible for this matter.

Chen Xi and Wang Shouren are considered old acquaintances. In the same year, they were a Jinshi and stayed in the capital as an official. When he was appointed as the governor of the coastal areas of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, he was on the same road with Wang Shouren who went to Huguang to perform his duties. The two of them had tea and tea together on the road, and they commented on the general trend of the world. They were considered old friends.

Wang Shouren performed well in the defense of Zhengyangmen and was appreciated by the emperor and the prince. Although he is currently a doctor in the Ministry of War, he is likely to be promoted later. As for what position he will be moved to, Chen Xi doesn't know yet, but he expects that with Wang Shouren's weak resume, it is unlikely that he will continue to move forward in the six ministries. Even if he wants to be promoted, he must look at the local area. Most of them go to the vassal department or the magistrate to seek positions, or directly give him a fourth-rank magistrate.

The specificity depends on how Wang Shouren's family will operate next, and whether the emperor will take special care of it, and how the Ministry of Personnel makes arrangements.

Even though Wang Shouren made great contributions to the Zhengyang Gate Battle and received special recommendations from Li Dongyang and Liu Jian, there is still a clear gap between his performance and merits from Chen Xi.

Wang Shouren himself was also very clear about this. He received instructions from Xiong Xiu, the Minister of War, to coordinate the entry of Chen Xi's troops into the city. He naturally had to come out to ask Chen Xi for advice, and he also wanted to ask for advice.

Chen Xi was originally staying in the main hall and was having a leisurely tea. At this time, he had to move to the side hall and sit down with Wang Shouren, explaining the purpose of today in detail. Wang Shouren said that he was not responsible for this work, and the Ministry of War had another dedicated person to take charge. Then Wang Shouren then transferred the emperor into the city in batches and explained it carefully to Chen Xi.

In fact, whether it is Chen Xi or Wang Shouren, it can be seen that the emperor was so anxious to mobilize his troops into the city, not that the emperor was completely relieved of the troops, but that he did not want the meritorious ministers to stay outside the city and felt dissatisfied. At the same time, it was also to make the troops inside and outside the capital feel at ease and set an example for all the troops in the world to serve the royal army.

Wang Shouren asked, "Shen Zhongcheng has been leading troops outside for a long time. He should know the basics of the troops under his command. I wonder if there are any special arrangements?"

Chen Xi smiled and replied: "Wang Tongnian is polite. The so-called leadership of troops is just a paper talk. In the lower house, a civil servant from Hanlin came only designated strategies to let the troops execute. Whoever wants to be confused will win many victories. In fact, there are many confusions about the marching matters. As for how to control the troops and horses into the city, it is even more confusing. The Ministry of War will do better according to its own wishes!"

Chen Xi didn't want to be used as a gun envoy. He knew very well that the Ministry of War had asked him about his opinion. He would tell the soldiers outside the city that a certain arrangement was his Chen Xi's meaning. If the officers and soldiers had complaints in their hearts, they would vent their anger on him.

In Shen Xi's opinion, I just need to leave my brilliant image to the soldiers. I may not have the chance to dispatch them again in the future. If they are not doing a good job of the aftermath, there is no need for them to hold my grudges.

Even Wang Shouren is a smart person, and he does not have the flexible mind of Chen Xi. He never thought of this step for a while. He originally wanted to ask Chen Xi for advice and try to do his best in his errands.

Seeing that Chen Xi had no objection, Wang Shouren decided to cut the mess quickly and stood up and said, "It's better not to be late. The official will go to get the token now. Today, I will go out of the city in person and try to allocate the first batch of troops into the city before nightfall!"

Chen Xi stood up with him and bowed, "Then I won't bother Wang Tongnian, please!"

Since returning to the capital, Chenxi has a good attitude. The difficult environment of Tumu Fort has finally survived. The most important thing now is to enjoy life! No matter how the court fought openly and secretly, he completed his errands successfully. The Ming Dynasty did not change the direction of history because of its own appearance. The capital was stable and he guarded his wife and children. His life was harmonious and beautiful. Why should he ask for more?

Wang Shouren hurriedly left, Chen Xi moved back to the lobby of the Ministry of War in front, and continued to wait for the specific personnel of the Ministry of War to receive him.

Until nightfall, Chen Xi slowly came out of the lobby of the Ministry of War. At this moment, he almost blurted out the words "It's five o'clock again without any danger." Facing East Chang'an Street, he felt extremely comfortable. Thinking that he could live with Xie Yuner and Lin Dai and other women after he went back, Xiao Xu was warm and a sense of motivation emerged invisibly in his heart.

Chen Xi asked Ma Jiu to drive the carriage and sit in the carriage and wander around the sky... According to the court's rules, as he is now a second-rank official, he must be equipped with a sedan chair. He is now beginning to consider hiring a sedan chair bearer. According to the rules, whether it is a groom or a sedan chair bearer, the court will reimburse the money, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

Just after returning to the door, Chen Xi saw through the car window that there were several large boxes under the steps in front of the door. More than a dozen soldiers chattered around the boxes, and then walked to both sides of the street to stay, leaving only one person to continue waiting in front of the door.

Chen Xi originally thought he was here to find trouble, but after looking carefully, he found that it was the soldier who had been born and died with him. After Chen Xi got out of the car, the man left behind to come forward quickly and saluted Chen Xi respectfully and said, "Sir, I wonder if you still remember the villain?"

Chen Xi said with a smile: "As for the Yu family, the hundreds of households under Hu Songyue's command, I have recorded your name for the first time I heard it!"

The man was very happy and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the adults still remember the villain's name. I am very honored. The villain still wants to follow Lord Shen to make achievements in the future!"

Chen Xi pointed to the boxes and asked, "Tell me, what do these mean?"

Yu Jiadi smiled and said, "Sir, don't be surprised. This is what the above commanded. The villain just did it... But just accept it. The villain was ordered to enter the city. This is why he was given a gift to Lord Shen. The villain dare not be greedy at all. If he doesn't believe it, please count it in person. This is a list, and you can accept it together!"

Chen Xi was a little puzzled. Why did someone come to him as soon as he returned home? He was still under his previous command?

The soldiers outside the city had just entered the city now, and Chen Xi was still planning to seek rewards for his soldiers. He didn't understand the gift given to him very clearly. Perhaps it was intended to bribe him, or to bribe him and let him speak for the soldiers who had made meritorious.

Yu Jiadi stood respectfully next to him, waiting for the fall of Chen Xi... He was obviously a passionate soldier with backbone on the battlefield. He was afraid of even the Tartars when he rushed to kill, but in front of Shen Xi, he seemed cautious and extremely humble. This shows how the hierarchy concept of the Ming Dynasty was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Chen Xi opened the box casually and took out something from it. He found that it was a Hetian jade pendant with a trace of blood on it. After thinking about it carefully, Chen Xi suddenly understood the origin of these things. He put the jade pendant back into the box and waved his hand:

"You're here to stay, and you can go back. This time the soldiers went to the city in batches and went to the new yamen to do their jobs. You will definitely calculate your credit after the war. Everyone can be upgraded to at least two or three levels. Maybe when you meet again, you will be a thousand households!"

Yu Jiadi smiled and said, "What the adults say is what they say. The villain dares not ask for credit. It's getting late, so you should go back and rest. You all come over and salute Lord Shen, and you can go back!"
Chapter completed!
