Chapter 1543 Crisis of Confidence

Xie Qian feels that the responsibility is heavy!

Whether to fight or reconcile with the Tatar Yisimain tribe is likely to be due to his thoughts, because Emperor Hongzhi handed over the decision-making power to the cabinet on many issues, and even the Lijians could not dominate the decision-making of court affairs.

After Xie Qian proposed the peace talks, Zhu Youzhang nodded slightly, but looked at Xie Qian again: "Who does Xie Qing family think goes to the northwest and discuss with the Tatar National Master?"

Xie Qian thought to himself, this time, we shouldn’t let Chen Xi go again, right? This is not a big deal with him, and even if I recommend it, it’s impossible!

Xie Qian thought about it for a while, but did not answer directly, but asked: "Your Majesty's intention, this matter should not be made public. Do it in secret as much as possible?"

Xie Qianben shouldn't have asked more about this question.

Although he had figured out Emperor Hongzhi's intentions, he could not help but ask directly but was ungrateful. However, this time Xie Qian insisted on asking clearly, and he was afraid of making mistakes on key issues.

As Xie Qian gradually lost power in the cabinet, his personality became more and more cautious.

Zhu Youzhang did not shy away and continued to nod: "Everything should be done according to the Xie Qing family's wishes. I will give the imperial envoy a letter. If I can complete the responsibilities successfully, I will entrust important tasks after returning to the court!"

Xie Qian was completely relieved. This time the emperor wanted him to use an official who would not reveal his secret to go to the northwest. It would be best if this person could complete the peace talks with Yisima Yin's tribe. Zhu Youzhang did not want this matter to be known by Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, and everything would have to be carried out in secret.

Xie Qian asked, "I don't know who Your Majesty wants?"

Zhu Youzhang shook his head slightly: "The candidate is decided by Xie Qing's family. I will entrust this important task to you. I will not discuss it at the court meeting tomorrow... Xie Qing's family must draft the candidate and send it to the palace within one day!"

Xie Qian was in a dilemma now. He had many officials who could choose, but there were almost no one who could really come in handy. I don’t know who should complete this job. After thinking about it, it seemed that except for Chen Xi, a civil and military genius, others had all kinds of shortcomings.

However, even if it was extremely difficult to complete the job, Xie Qian still saluted respectfully: "I should fulfill my mission and find someone to complete His Majesty's instructions..."

...

...

The night is already dark.

Chen Xi convened the main generals of the army, including Huguang, Jianggan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other soldiers to discuss the affairs of Gaoji and Gaoning in the central army's tent. Two eunuchs in charge of the army also attended the news.

Therefore, this incident may lead to chaos in the city. Chen Xi will take it carefully and explain various changes in the future. The focus is to prevent this incident from posing a threat to the city defense.

Su Jingyang asked in surprise: "What? This guy Gao Ji dared to design a trick to harm the adults? Could it be that he was impatient and dared to slander the adults' virtues? sir... Please send the general to come and catch him, and see how he was a bastard!"

Su Jingyang, Wang He and others fully trust Chen Xi because Chen Xi had no time to waste good women, and they didn't believe that Chen Xi would miss such a woman. They had sent women to Chen Xi before. In terms of appearance, they were apart from women in remote places, but they were rejected by Chen Xi.

Chen Xi looked calm: "I don't know why Gao Ji did this. Now he mobilized the gentry in the city to denounce him and was preparing to impeach him with the court. I am doing well and sitting upright, so I am naturally not afraid of slander. But the most important thing now is that the defense of Xuanhua City must never have any problems. No matter what happens tomorrow, all soldiers must be loyal to their duties and not relax their vigilance! If there is any mistake in any link, I will definitely be killed!"

Because Chen Xi is talking about official affairs and does not involve private affairs, even if someone is suspicious of Chen Xi, he can only respectfully accept the order.

From the standpoint of official business, what Chen Xi said is very in line with the interests of the military and civilians of Nanning Prefecture. The generals and officials present did not want problems in the city defense and allowed the Nan barbarians to take advantage of it.

"Get orders!"

All the generals present bowed.

There was harmony in the central army's tent, but suddenly a sharp voice broke the harmony: "...Mr. Shen, what you mean is that in order to make you angry, the Gaogongfu actually didn't even want the reputation of the Gao family, and falsely accused you of ruining his daughter-in-law. Lord. If you tell this, I'm afraid no one will believe it?"

The person who spoke was Zhang Yong. As a military supervisor, he originally had a great say, but in Shen Xi's army, his greatest power was to yell in the central army's tent without anyone holding him accountable.

Chen Xi looked at Zhang Yong and asked, "What is Eunuch Zhang meant that the Gaogong did not wrongly accuse me of my official?"

Zhang Yong curled his lips and turned his face away: "Is this happening? Our family doesn't know, but Gao Ning came to the camp, which is an irrefutable fact. Lord Shen said that he just called the woman and slapped her in the face. Who knows if you did something else? After all, a lonely man and a widowed woman live in the same room..."

Ma Jiu shouted loudly: "Eunuch Zhang, you can't swear by others. At that time, the humble position was in the tent, and there were women who were punished to testify!"

Ma Jiu still wanted to explain, but Chen Xi raised his arm to stop him. Ma Jiu still stared at Zhang Yong angrily, not being able to cut him into pieces. Zhang Yong looked at Ma Jiu with one look, flattened his mouth, and said nothing, but his eyes had already explained everything... You are Chen Xi's man, so you will naturally speak for him. Whoever believes what you said?

Chen Xidao: "It doesn't make much sense to argue here. Let's talk about it when the Gaogong brings people to the door tomorrow. The generals stick to their posts. Bento is loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Those who are the Qing Dynasty will be clear. Is Eunuch Zhang worried that his official will kill the Gaogong and forcefully cleanse himself?"

Liu Jin stood up as a peacemaker and said, "Mr. Shen, Eunuch Zhang, harmony makes money. This matter is different. We should know at first sight..."

It sounds like a persuasion, but in his words he tends toward Zhang Yong. Logically speaking, those who are familiar with Chen Xi's character should know that Chen Xi will not do anything to rape a civilian woman. But now Zhang Yong and Liu Jin do not believe in Chen Xi as military supervisors, which makes many people who do not know Chen Xi think that it is true.

Many people have entered a circle of thinking, thinking that the Gao family will not make jokes about their reputation for many years. In addition, people from the middle and lower classes think that the superiors have always acted unscrupulously, and because of lack of supervision, they despise the king's law. Among them, the brothers of the Zhang family are representatives, so naturally they think that it is possible that Chenxi rapes the civilian women.

Chen Xi was a little disappointed. He originally admired Zhang Yong. After all, although this man liked to mess around and was afraid of death, at least he had made great contributions to overthrowing Liu Jin in history and was considered a hero of the Ming Dynasty.

But now it seems that even if Zhang Yongzhen defeated Liu Jin in history, his personality is mostly based on personal grudges and grudges, and it is not for the sake of the country and justice.

Chen Xi waved his hand: "Today's discussion ends here. After you go back, no matter who comes to tell you about it, you only need to remember one thing: you are generals of the Ming Dynasty, you are responsible to the court, not to a certain official, and you must be loyal to your duties at any time! Take it down!"

Chen Xi repeatedly emphasized loyalty to his duties because he was afraid that the generals in the army would be bribed by Gao Ji and local forces.

There is no need to worry about the soldiers he brought himself, but after all, there are two or three thousand defenders in Nanning City, including the two thousand household offices of Nanning Guard and the Elephant Shining Guard and the local inspection department. These people are likely to become hidden dangers, but Chen Xi cannot carry out a purge in the army, so he can only emphasize loyalty.

...

...

After the promotion of the tent was over, all the generals were removed, leaving only Ma Jiu and Yun Liu.

Ma Jiu still looked full of self-blame, thinking that it was his own problem that caused Chen Xi to be misunderstood, and now it may even affect the safety of Nanning Mansion City.

Yunliu was thinking about how to help Chen Xi solve her current embarrassment.

Chen Xi sat behind the Shuai Case, looked at the latest information he had just received, thought for a while, looked up and saw Ma Jiu and Yunliu frowning, and waved his hand with a smile: "No need to worry, soldiers come to block the water and soil. Since Gao Ji doesn't even want the reputation of the Gao family for many years, I have no mercy to talk about... I will eventually pay a heavy price for being an enemy of me!"

Yunliu asked for instructions: "Sir, all the gentry in the city are being instigated now, and even the soldiers in the army may not trust you. Do you think... can you explain this matter clearly?"

Chen Xi shook his head: "What to explain, there is nothing to explain. If someone suspects, they will doubt it. Now the truth of the matter is meaningless. Even if it is fake, some people think that it will become true."

"Now I am leading the troops in the southwest, and the matter in the southwest is basically my decision. A Gao Ning clan dared to jump out and oppose my official, which means that my official has touched the interests of the gentry in the southwest, and can even use any means to do this... Since it is more than conspiracy, let's try it."

Speaking of this, Chen Xiyang Yang Yang's urgent report: "Yunliu, now the Southern Barbarians have lurked into the forest south of the Yongjiang River, only twenty miles away from Nanning City... You should take people out and act as I told you. I want to see who will come to condemn Gao Ji tomorrow!"

Yun Liu looked puzzled, and he had no idea how Chen Xi could connect the two things that were not connected with each other.

After Chen Xi finished his detailed explanation, Yun Liu hurried away. Ma Jiu, who was also in a foggy relationship, came forward to ask for instructions: "Master, can a villain do something?"

Chen Xi stood up and said, "Go and prepare. The artillery lacks practical experience and may not behave as good as usual when you go to the battlefield. Please give me some advice, gather people, practice the key points of artillery operation again, and use them!"
