In the Ganqing Palace, the court talks continued.

Li Dongyang's heart was dark at this moment. He knew that some things were hard to turn around at this point. Unless Liu Jian came soon, with Liu Jian's prestige in the court, he could block the emperor's mouth.

Sure enough, with Liu Daxia's advice, Zhu Youzhang immediately beat the snake and went on the stick, and said with his approval: "...It is true. According to the practice of using troops from the nine borders, the commander of the three armies is the most secure. Chen Qing's family performed outstandingly when using troops in Xuanfu and the capital, which made the Tatars frightened and had the ability to command the three armies. I entrusted the position of the Minister of War to quell local rebellions. It is a good thing for the country and the people. What do you think?"

Zhang Mao glanced at Li Dongyang. This time, the second assistant to the cabinet lowered his head and said nothing, which made Zhang Mao feel uncomfortable. He was stunned for a while before leaving the list for instructions:

"Your Majesty, Chen Xi is the military commander of the six provinces, and the left censor is added to the title of Minister of War. However, if the war is over, what position should be arranged? If you continue to stay in the place... it seems that you are not good at using a lot of talent..."

When Xie Qian heard this, he was happy and thought, when did Mr. Zhang look to Chenxi like this? Before the war began, he thought about rewarding Chenxi's children with merits. Could it be that he would turn back to the Beijing Committee for important tasks?

Zhang Mao's words pointed directly at the core of the problem. Li Dongyang, Wang Hua and others immediately listened, wanting to see what Emperor Hongzhi's attitude was. If Chen Xi wanted to transfer him back to the capital after he made a contribution, he would object no matter what.

Zhu Youzhe said: "This is... After all, Chen Qing's family is now in danger, and it is not a long-term supervision of local governments by military and horses. After the local rebellion is quelled, it is more appropriate to restore the official position!"

Perhaps Emperor Hongzhi realized that repeated promotions of Chenxi would make the civil servant group disunited, and the next step might be to receive a lot of resignation memorials. It would be better to compromise. After the war, Chenxi official resumed his post as governor of his two provinces, so that the atmosphere in the court could be eased.

At worst, one or two provinces will be added to Chenxi by then. Anyway, he was the coastal governor of the three southeastern provinces a few years ago. Now he is the inland governor of the four provinces. It is no big deal, and it will not affect the interests of the civil servant group.

With Zhu Youzing's words, no one was willing to stand up and say anything. Xie Qian felt that Chen Xi's "Zuodu Censor" and "Senior Minister of War" were picked up for free. Being petty with the emperor would not only arouse anger, but even Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others would also feel that he was more and more frustrated and felt that he was resentful.

Until now, Xie Qian won such great authority for Chen Xi without saying anything. He felt that it was already very good to be able to do it now.

As for Li Dongyang and Wang Hua, when they heard that Chen Xi would re-elect as the governor of Huguang and Jiangxi provinces after the war, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and kept silent.

In this case, when the emperor asked for advice again, all the ministers called "subject" and the matter was passed.

...

...

In just one court meeting, Chen Xi jumped from the right censor, the governor of Jiangxi and Huguang provinces, and became the left censor and the military affairs of six provinces. As for Chen Xi's official rank, it was still the second rank, but he was appointed as the Minister of War, which was very popular for the time being.

Li Dongyang felt a sense of fire in his heart and could not vent.

He had been waiting for Liu Jian to arrive, but Liu Jian just didn't see anyone. In his opinion, it must be that the Silijian had a deviation in notifying Liu Jian. Either he deliberately postponed time to report, or he simply didn't go, leaving him alone in the court, which led to the emperor's intentions when appointing Chen Xi.

The most important thing has been resolved. Zhu Youcheng was in a state of distress. Before Liu Jian arrived, Zhu Youcheng had reached the point where he had to rest.

"I have said everything I should say. As for the Northwest military affairs, I will talk about it later when the court meeting tomorrow! Let's do it first!" Zhu Youzhang held his head with his hand, his face pale, and sweat beads oozing out of his forehead, which seemed extremely painful. He waved his hands repeatedly, signaling everyone to retreat and he could rest.

Everyone was very aware of each other and hurriedly greeted him. With the help of Zhu Houzhao and Xiao Jing, the emperor stood up tremblingly and went to the back of the palace. As soon as the emperor left, a noise immediately sounded in the Ganqing Palace.

Chen Xi jumped into the army and horses of the six provinces, and was appointed as the title of the Censor of the Left Chief Censor and Minister of War, which was equivalent to the military power of the six provinces of Huguang, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. Although this was only a temporary official position, it also proved in disguise that Chen Xi's power was already covered by the sky in the south.

I don’t know when this war will end. It may take a year or two, or even three or five years. As long as the rebellion is not over, Chen Xi can always retain such great power. The civil service group that has always excluded Chen Xi can only stare at me and cannot pull Chen Xi off.

Because it is not a wise move to change the commander temporarily, the court would not do this if Chen Xi did not make a big mistake in front of the formation.

As soon as the emperor left, all the ministers met with Xie Qian and said some "congratulations".

Ma Wensheng smiled and said to Xie Qian: "Yu Qiao, Chen Xi has such great power at hand, so he is so grateful! You have to mention him and don't let him go astray!"

These words seem to congratulate Xie Qian, but they are more of a warning... Now the only one who can mention Chen Xi is you, Xie Yuqiao, which is not only your glory, but also a huge responsibility you must bear.

Faced with the congratulations from the ministers, Xie Qian bowed repeatedly and did not respond... Chen Xi was able to gain his current status when he offended the civil servant group led by Liu Jian and Li Dongyang. If he had no trouble, he would have completely gotten into the fight with Liu Jian and Li Dongyang.

In Xie Qian's opinion, it may not be a good thing that Chen Xi does too well in the local area. As a cabinet minister, he naturally feels that it is best to be a minister of government in the cabinet, rather than staying away from the central government of the court. He even thinks that Chen Xi will return to Beijing to serve as the Minister of War in the future.

Always run errands for others, not decision makers in the court!

Xie Qian originally wanted to explain to Li Dongyang, but at this time Li Dongyang was angry and took Wang Hua away directly, so that others had no chance to come forward to talk to him.

None of them were fledgling ministers, so they naturally understood why Li Dongyang was angry. From beginning to end, the chief assistant Liu Jian did not appear. Li Dongyang must have thought that it was Silijian who was making trouble. At this moment, of course he rushed to Liu Jian to discuss countermeasures.

Liu Daxia and Xie Qian had the closest relationship. When they left the Ganqing Palace, Liu Daxia deliberately left the palace with Xie Qian on the road to Donghua Gate and Dong'anmen. He wanted to talk to Xie Qian about the matter of Chenxi halfway.

Before, Xie Qian was always a little jealous of Liu Daxia, thinking that Liu Daxia had occupied Chen Xi and did not do his best to stay in Chen Xi in Beijing. Now Liu Daxia has tried his best to promote Chen Xi from being the governor of two provinces to the army of six provinces, and has the title of Left Censor and Minister of War. As a tribute, Xie Qian not only lets down his past grudges, but also wants to thank Liu Daxia.

Seeing that others went their separate ways, Liu Daxia deliberately dragged Xie Qian to suppress him and said softly: "Yu Qiao, have you ever seen your grandson-in-law before?"

Xie Qian immediately changed his face when he heard this: "I went south to work on the emperor's order. What did I do when I saw him?"
