Liu Jian and Li Dongyang agreed to make suggestions to the emperor and solve the problem of insufficient staff in the cabinet as soon as possible. Xie Qian was not concerned about this. In his opinion, the probability of the emperor agreeing to this matter was slim.

It is not a secret that Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youzhang was wary of the civil servant group after the end of the Northwest War. Although the emperor agreed to the candidates for the main heroes reported by the civil servant group, he also began to cultivate his own power in a targeted manner and secretly summoned Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia, Xiong Xiu and others into the palace, implying that they were fighting with the civil servant group.

Unfortunately, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty are basically a solid piece of iron. Not to mention that the people selected by the emperor were originally one of the civil officials, even if they were not, these people would not fight Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others head-on, because the cabinet grand sects have too high status in the minds of scholars and are simply role models for the world.

With the support of scholars, it is equivalent to having a mouthpiece for public opinion propaganda. Everyone is praising the three virtuous ministers in the cabinet. Who dares to easily remove the beards of these three virtuous ministers?

In recent years, there have been very few people among the officials in the court who can truly threaten the interests of the civil servant group. The only alternative can be said to be Chen Xi. However, now that Shen Xi has been released from the local area, no one has challenged the civil servant group anymore. Now, relying on the mouthpiece of the court, the civil servant group has taken the initiative to increase the candidates for cabinet ministers. In fact, it also means that the emperor will continue to rely on them and prevent the emperor from coming to Taiwan.

In this case, do you think the emperor can bear this tone?

Xie Qian came out of Wenyuan Pavilion and did not go back home. Instead, he came to his courtyard on East Chang'an Street and met with Ma Wensheng alone.

Xie Qian never concealed what happened in the cabinet. In this small circle, Xie Qian was not the leader, but the leader was Ma Wensheng, a veteran of the four dynasties.

After listening to Xie Qian's story, Ma Wensheng comforted: "Yu Qiao, why do you have to worry about this? In fact, Binzhi's words may not be aimed at you. Now Liu Shaofu and Binzhi are in poor health, so it is really difficult to keep them on duty. They just want to find a helper for you!"

"Help? Humph, I think I'm going to help me find a few opponents! They are eager to send all three candidates to the cabinet. By that time, I will have a complete rest and no one can restrain them!"

Xie Qian was still a little angry when he spoke.

Xie Qian believed that he had been an official in the court for so many years and had always regarded Liu Jian and Li Dongyang as their best colleagues and friends. Now the two of them joined forces to deal with him, which made him unable to accept it calmly no matter what.

Ma Wensheng continued to comfort him: "Yu Qiao, you must be upset about the matter of Chenxi's external adjustment. In fact, you should think so. Chenxi's external adjustment is not a good thing. He is still young and has many places to make achievements outside than in the capital. Moreover, Liu Shaofu and Binzhi have always had prejudice against him. Only when people are outside can they not be jealous and there will be a chance to enter the cabinet in the future. If he is in the court, his every move is paid attention to by someone. If he makes a mistake, when will he have the opportunity to be promoted?"

Xie Qian shook his head and sighed: "I don't want Chen Xi to be promoted to a higher position all at once. I just hope that he can complete the transition smoothly in the court, and there is no extravagance to enter the cabinet when he is in his prime... With his academic achievements, in another ten or twenty years, how can he have the opportunity to enter the cabinet?"

"I'm just a little worried now. This kid's ability and supporting the country is just a matter of raising his hands. But if he just suppresses him and arouses his dissatisfaction, he may decide what kind of path he will take in the future. Even if he is a young talent now, he may become a disaster for the Ming Dynasty in the future!"

Chen Xi is indeed a monster-level existence in the Ming Dynasty. He won three yuan at a young age. In just a few years, he won the official position of a second-rank official with a series of dazzling merits in the officialdom. He polites the country and made great achievements in both military management and administration.

Zhu Youcheng was afraid that monsters like Chen Xi would threaten the stability of the country and the country in the Ming Dynasty. Xie Qian now basically held the same view as Zhu Youcheng.

If Chen Xi can be guided correctly, Chen Xi will become the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, but if the guidance is not good, it will likely make Chen Xi's heart on the wrong path. At that time, Chen Xi will have a great chance of using his talents to become a "traitor" who harms the country and the people.

Although Ma Wensheng did not say anything, he agreed with Xie Qian's statement... The contribution of blindly suppressing Chen Xi is not conducive to Chen Xi's cultivation.

But now that's the case, what's the use of thinking about these things?

...

...

At this moment, on the road to the south, Chen Xi, who had always maintained an optimistic and upward attitude, did feel a little disappointed and dissatisfied with the court, but he knew how to regulate his emotions. After all, his psychological age was there, and from his expectations, leaving the capital may not be a good thing, especially as a relatively important official position such as the governor of the two provinces.

The sea is wide and the fish leaps, and the sky is high and the birds fly. Now Emperor Hongzhi has given Chen Xi a stage to display his political ambitions. He feels that he has the conditions and possibilities to create a new era.

The Ming Dynasty could not have the surname Chen, but Chenxi could have the surname Chen in Huguang and Jianggan provinces. In this place with high mountains and far away emperors, he could display his talents to guide the Ming Dynasty to develop in the right direction.

Not long after, Chenxi went south, I felt the benefits of being the governor of the two provinces.

Less than 300 miles from the south of the capital, there are dedicated people to welcome the official roads along the way. There are both personnel sent by the Beijing Huguang and Jianggan service departments, as well as officials from local governments along the way. Chenxi doesn’t have to worry about it at all. People are responsible for eating, drinking, defecation and sensation, which can be regarded as a journey of traveling around the mountains and rivers.

Chen Xi no longer worried about his food, clothing, housing and transportation. Everything was the best reception. He even threw the clothes he had changed aside. After a few days, the officials at the inn along the way would clean it up and then send a quick horse to deliver it. He took it out and saw it. It was ironed neatly.

If it were another time, Chen Xi might be polite to these people, but now he is happy that someone is paving the way for him. There are many people following him to the south and no longer need his care. The only thing is that the gifts sent by local officials politely refuse.

In the capital, Chen Xi was an inconspicuous young man. Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Ma Wensheng and other ministers were arbitrarily showing off their fame and status that were far above him. He almost always greeted anyone he saw, and just like his grandson, he had to hold his tail and behave like a grandson.

But after leaving the capital, Chen Xi's identity and status became prominent.

Because Chen Xi ranked second in the Battle of Tatars, and many soldiers from North China participated in the previous Battle of Tatars, whether in the Beijing camp or in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the local garrison, Chen Xi was an absolute minister of merit.

Local officials knew that the emperor appointed Chen Xi as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but was rejected by the civil servant group, so they were particularly flattered by Chen Xi because they had a premonition that when Chen Xi returned to the capital, it would no longer be as simple as serving as the Minister of the Six Ministry. Perhaps they could directly become the Minister of the Six Ministry or the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. It would be too late to curry favor with him at that time.

Because there were people taking care of him along the way, Chenxi's journey to the south was particularly smooth. He originally planned to cross the Yellow River and walk south by boat. In the end, Chenxi decided to go on the official road and wait until he reached the river water before deciding whether to transfer to a boat.
