Chapter 1323 Hot face with cold ass

Before Chen Xi arrived at the capital, he learned on the way that King Ning was conspiring to rebel. The news came too suddenly, which made him feel very nonsense.

However, this also reminds Chen Xi of something in disguise. This time he went to Huguang and Jianggan to take office, which was of completely different significance than before, and he had taken specific tasks to the local area, mainly for marching and fighting rather than governing one side, so he did not have too much contact with the vassal kings and nobles.

The Ming Dynasty was enthroned in Huguang and Jianggan areas, and there were more than a dozen vassal kings, including Ning and Xing, who left their names in history.

The deeds of King Ning Zhu Chenhao lie in his farce-like rebellion in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, King Xing Zhu Youze was not outstanding. A vassal king who had no power did not receive much courtesy in the local area. However, his son Zhu Houcan caught up with the good times. Zhu Houzhao had no son. After many selections, Zhu Houcan succeeded to the throne as the emperor's cousin, and became Emperor Jiajing.

Zhu Youzhi's fiefdom happened to be in Anlu, where De'an Prefecture in Huguang is located, adjacent to Xinyang Prefecture, Henan, and is located in the northwest of Wuchang Prefecture, Shenxi Office.

Chen Xi didn't know whether he should show kindness to Zhu Youze. The thing that was entangled is whether Zhu Houzhao would change his unruly lifestyle, have a healthy body, and then give birth to a son after he was trained.

Zhu Houzhao did indeed die in history. Chen Xi roughly calculated that Zhu Houzhao was born when he traveled through time. Even if his arrival had a certain impact on history, if Zhu Houzhao was born with infertility, then he would be powerless. But if it was a acquired life and a body deficiency, it could still be saved.

But if Zhu Houzhao has no offspring, there will inevitably be twists and turns in the future.

As for whether Zhu Houzhao would die young, Chen Xi is not sure. His arrival may make Zhu Houzhao a long-lived emperor, and may also make Zhu Houzhao die early, and these may happen.

However, Chen Xi felt that it was really unnecessary to get along with King Xing so early, and he didn't want to deal with this relationship. Even if Zhu Houcan might assemble the throne in the future, it would have to wait twenty years later. Zhu Houcan has not been born yet.

Zhu Hougui in history was born in the second year of Zhengde. Due to the butterfly effect caused by the arrival of Chenxi, it is still a different story to whether Zhu Hougui exists in history. Of course, as long as King Xing gave birth to a son, the name must be the same. Because the name was Zhu Youze, the name he gave birth to a son has basically been determined.

Chen Xi didn't care much about what Li Han said about King Ning's rebellion.

Zhu Chenhao inherited the throne of Ning shortly after he had ambitions, and even if he had ambitions, he would not be able to cause trouble in a short period of time. Li Han reported to Chen Xi, but only asked him to step up his guard against local vassal kings and nobles.

Early the next morning, Li Han brought a group of people from the government office to see Chen Xi leave.

Perhaps Li Han felt that Chen Xi had not received gifts before, because there were many people in the inn and were afraid of being reported, so he came to see the guests off this time and still brought a lot of gifts.

At the Yangtze River Ferry south of Anqing Mansion, Li Han asked someone to carry a wooden box over and pointed to the box and said to Chen Xi: "Mr. Shen, you are from Hanyuan and should have a deep understanding of ancient books. You may get some lonely books and have no way to study them. You might as well transfer these books to Lord. Shen to achieve an elegant thing!"

When giving gifts, Li Han knew that Chen Xi was not good at gold, silver and jewelry, so he gave ancient books.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, the price of thread-bound books in the Song Dynasty was not expensive. If it were books with a longer history, it would be even more valuable. With just a little book and calligraphy and painting, the value of a page of paper might be comparable to one or two gold.

The more peaceful the years are, the more people like to collect ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, which are expensive. However, in the court, it is not ashamed to accept these things as gifts but rather proud.

For example, Li Dongyang, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, often accepted calligraphy and paintings from others, and took them openly for himself, and wrote his own inscriptions.

In addition to Li Dongyang, there are many people in the court who are so elegant and kind, and don't even hide it. This obvious bribe is even talked about, just like the previous "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", which Xu Pu gave to Li Dongyang before, and even passed the hand of Chenxi.

Chen Xi has long known this bad habit in the officialdom. Even if he likes reading, he does not want to use such means to obtain it. Especially Li Han is not a decent person, and Chen Xi doesn't want to have any involvement with him.

If calligraphy and paintings and ancient books are given by celebrities and scholars who are not officials, they may become beautiful stories, but if they are given by stolen officials, they may become a stain on life. Chen Xi does not want to argue about the future evaluation of Li Han. He only knows that if he doesn't accept it, he will have nothing to do, and if he accepts it, he will have to take risks.

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "I am diligent in government affairs and don't have much time to read books to increase my knowledge. However, you, Master Li... you should take the time to study more. Let's leave these ancient books to Master Li!"

Li Han did not expect that the young governor in his teenage years in front of him was so mature, and his words naturally brought him a sense of precipitation of time, which made him feel unbearable.

Li Han thought to himself: "No wonder this governor Chen was able to achieve success in just a few years after winning the top scorer, and praised it to the world. Not only because he is knowledgeable, but also proficient in planning the world. I finally know why I have only been working in local yamen for these years... It seems that if I want to enter the court in the future, I must take Lord Shen as a model!"

Chen Xi didn't know that he became the object of worship by Li Han in a blink of an eye.

If you say that Li Han is very good at leveraging in the court, he has become the prefect of a great government in just five or six years after he became a Jinshi. He is not yet forty years old and has a rich political experience. It is completely predictable that he will rise step by step in the court.

Li Han came to show off, mainly because he was attracted by Chen Xi, a new nobleman in the court. He also knew that Chen Xi was behind the court and the ministers and others supported him. He even found out that Chen Xi's concubine was the eldest granddaughter of Xie Qian, the current court master. Even a person who valued so much in Xie Qian would not easily miss the opportunity to make friends.

But now it seems that even if Li Han wants to flatter him, Chen Xi will not give him this opportunity.

Chenxi went towards the boat board, and Li Han followed him all the time. When he was about to arrive in front of the boat, Li Han suddenly spoke again: "Mr. Shen, you are tired from the journey. It will take several days to go to Wuchang Mansion. There is no one to take care of you. The officials are uneasy, so they send a few servants and maids to serve you..."

After saying that, Li Han waved his hand and got off the carriage from a distance. He was between the fourteenth and five years old, and looked pretty. Although his clothes were bright, they looked not very decent at first sight. They should have been replaced temporarily.

Chen Xidao: "What is Master Li doing?"

Li Han smiled and said, "This is the only wish of the subordinate. Lord Shen doesn't accept any gifts. It can be said that he is honest and honest and an example for his ministers. But if he doesn't even accept this wish, he will let down the subordinates' hearts!"

Chen Xi could see that Li Han would never give up until he did not fulfill his "heart" and immediately turned cold: "Master Li, I hope you can understand that I am just passing here on the way to perform my duties, not intending to stay in Anqing Prefecture. It took only a few days to go from Anqing Prefecture to Huguang Prefecture. I have been chasing all the bumps. Do you still care about the next few days? Please go back!"

In the end, Chen Xi finally did not give Li Han any more face and directly scolded him.

Li Han felt a burning face and was extremely uncomfortable. Although he was angry, he was only a fourth-rank official, and Chen Xi was a second-rank official. Chen Xi held the military and political power of Jianggan and Huguang provinces, and Li Han could not offend him.

Li Han touched Chen Xi's cold butt with a hot face. He didn't know how to step down for a while. Even Chen Xi was embarrassed to say goodbye to him when he got on the boat.

Chen Xi did not look back and went straight into the cabin. When everything was done, the fleet slowly left the shore. Chen Xi did not come out to say hello to Li Han, and the group left Anqing Mansion.
