Chapter 1627 Crossing the state and crossing the house

"Liu Jin can do things and win people's hearts. To a certain extent, he can be respectful to the wise and the wise and understand the importance of recruiting talents!"

"Although Liu Jin is cruel to loyal and kind, he can basically do what he does not offend me. This person has the characteristics of perseverance and ruthlessness in his personality, and gradually cultivates his own small circle in front of the emperor!"

"Among the people recruited by Liu Jin, there are many real talents, but more of them are nepotism. This person takes bribes and is corrupt and abuses the law, and is jealous of the civil servant group!"

"Liu Jin's monopoly power is that the new emperor ascended the throne and needed someone with trust to take charge of the government. Even if Liu Jin was not in power, others would be replaced. However, Liu Jin was one of the most capable eunuchs in the capital. This person is good at ease, and he is willing to take advantage of the emperor's preferences. He knows how to use the power at hand to make himself bigger..."

...When I was rushing back to Wuchang Mansion, I stayed at the inn at night. When I was free, I sorted out information about Liu Jin and prepared to face this opponent in the future.

Chen Xi was not sure whether he would face the enemy head-on with Liu Jin, because there was no news of the court to transfer him back to Beijing, but it was hard to guarantee that Zhu Houzhao would not have a temporary idea. Zhu Houzhao is a person who is unpredictable and likes to make trouble many times. He also does not follow the rules when recruiting people. Chen Xi was afraid that he would be transferred back to Beijing by Zhu Houzhao at any time.

But there is a prerequisite for all this, that is, Zhu Houzhao is in full control. According to Chen Xi's observation, Zhu Houzhao is working towards this goal step by step.

"...Sir, it has been investigated clearly. Eunuch Liu has obtained dual authority from the eunuch of the Silijian and the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison in the court. He entered the Silijian as a eunuch of the pen, but it is said that he only followed His Majesty into the palace gate on weekdays and did not participate in the actual affairs of the Silijian!"

Yunliu accompanied Chenxi, but it was not the bed, but in the study room with a lantern, grinding ink for Chenxi and adding fragrance to the red sleeves.

The manuscripts compiled by Chen Xi are so detailed that even Liu Jin himself may not know him so well, but Chen Xi gave a very perfect interpretation of his personality.

"It seems that the day when Liu Jin gained power is not far from the day he entered the Sili Prison, he can further suppress Xiao Jing. As long as Xiao Jing stepped down, no one in the palace general could compete with him. Dai Yi, Zhang Yuan and others were not a little bit behind him. Eunuchs such as Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, and Zhang Yong had interests with Liu Jin. As long as these people could not get the support of the emperor, Liu Jin would bring these people down one by one or take them to his own use!"

Chen Xi connected the eunuchs in the palace who were famous, capable, and had a certain reputation in history.

There are many people, including the Bahu, Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, Qiu Ju, Luo Xiang, Wei Bin, Gao Feng, and eunuchs in history. All of them entered the booklets compiled by Chen Xi and used them for comparison and research.

Yun Liu asked, "Sir, do you think Eunuch Liu will gain power in the future and be powerful in the world?"

Chen Xi looked at Yun Liu and said, "Some things cannot be explained clearly to you. You just need to know that even if Liu Jin gains power, it is only temporary, because his success is entirely based on the emperor's favor. Once he monopolizes the power, he will offend many people, and these people will say bad things about him in front of the emperor, or even attack them."

"As the saying goes, three people become tigers. Once Liu Jin does things, it will be not far from the day he falls. However, whether Liu Jin can take power and how long it will take power is still unknown. After all, there are still famous officials such as Liu Jian and Li Dongyang in the court, so Liu Jin will not let Liu Jin do whatever he wants!"

Yun Liu frowned and thought, nodded and said, "As far as you know, these cabinet masters and ministers in the court are not Yi and others. The court team left by the previous emperor is very stable. How could Eunuch Liu abuses his power?"

"Who knows?"

Chen Xi sighed lightly, "Sometimes, even history cannot answer your question... Now the court seems to be in harmony, but the ministers Lian Po are old, and many people are no longer in the court. After they succeed, they are thinking about how to retire and live a life of life..."

Yunliu didn't know who Chen Xi was talking about, so she didn't dare to express her opinions casually.

Chen Xidao: "According to the historical direction, almost nine months after the new emperor ascended the throne, something happened to the court... The real problem is not the six ministries, but the cabinet. If the direction of history remains unchanged, then a turmoil in the court is inevitable!"

...

...

Chenxi seemed to be worried about the sky, far away in Huguang, but he was worried about the affairs of the capital.

Yunliu does not have the realm of Chenxi, so she will not evaluate this matter too much. She just acted according to Chenxi's instructions, obtained as much information as possible, and let Chenxi summarize and analyze it by herself.

With the arrival of autumn, the flood situation in the Yangtze River has basically passed. Even if you sail on the river, there will be no trouble. Chenxi still tries to take the land route as much as possible, mainly for safety reasons, and do not want to cause unnecessary trouble due to risks.

The team of the Governor's Office walked along the official road on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Even if the roads in some areas are not good, they need to detour or even use ferries, Chenxi did not feel very tired.

Chen Xi came out this time with the purpose of inspecting the promotion of new local crops. He would contact local governments wherever he went, but he never accepted bribes, only asked about the local people's livelihood situation and the promotion progress of new crops.

Chen Xi entered Huguang. When Su Jingyang learned about the situation, he personally led his troops to greet him.

On the sixth day of the eighth month, Chen Xi and his party arrived in the south of Daye City. It was less than four days away from Wuchang Mansion. Su Jingyang followed Shen Xi and said with a smile:

"Sir, I will return to Wuchang Prefecture City soon, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I think the local gentry in Huguang has prepared for you. After returning, I can finally rest with peace of mind..."

Chen Xi smiled and said nothing. Suddenly, he saw an official welcome team coming from a distance. Su Jingyang pointed and said, "Sir, it should be the one sent by Daye County Government to greet him!"

Local government offices have different attitudes towards Chenxi's patrol. Some places do not know that Chenxi is coming at all. After seeing Chenxi, they are tired of dealing with it, fearing that the reception will affect their future; some are attentive and they send people to investigate to learn about the situation and then entertain at a high standard.

All sentient beings have different appearances.

When Chen Xi saw this attitude, he knew that the Daye County Government mobilized a large number of troops, and there were hundreds of people sent to greet him alone.

Although the magistrate of Daye did not come in person, he sent the chief Bo, Dianshi and the subordinates of the sixth house to send condolences to Chenxi.

Chen Xi got on the car and took half an hour to arrive at Daye County before dark. Thousands of people at the gate welcomed the city.

Su Jingyang rode a horse on the high head and escorted the carriage in Chenxi and said happily: "Sir, look, how much do the people love you? Since you arrived in Huguang, the local weather has been good and the people have lived and worked in peace, especially if you lead troops to quell the rebellion, the people do not have to lose their homes due to war and be displaced. It is of regeneration to the local people!"

Chen Xi lifted the curtain and looked outside, without saying anything. Although Yun Liu, who was serving the side, noticed that Chen Xi was unhappy, he did not dare to say more.

Until the entrance of the city station, Chen Xi finally met the magistrate of Daye Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu was very respectful to Chen Xi. After complimenting, he invited Chen Xi to the county government for a banquet, repeatedly emphasizing that the local gentry had been waiting for a long time.

Chen Xi seemed inhumane and refused the invitation on the grounds of the fatigue of travel. He went straight to the official office. He hurriedly fed his stomach and sent someone to the kitchen to burn hot water, preparing to take a shower and rest. Yun Liu and Xier personally helped carry the water. They were basically taking care of Chen Xi's daily life along the way.

"...Sir seems to be dissatisfied with the welcome in the city?" Yunliu asked after helping Chen Xi fill the warm water.

Chenxidao: "The local people are ignorant and know nothing about the officialdom. How could the people in the city come out to welcome me today? The more solemn the local people are, the more disturbing the people, and the more likely they are to appear stolen officials..."

Yunliu asked in surprise: "What do you mean by sir...that county magistrate Zhang is a stolen official?"

Chen Xi shook his head: "Without investigation, there is no right to speak. How dare you make this judgment easily? Besides, if others receive it with high standards, if you easily make conclusions based on this, you will never be kind or unrighteous!"

"I was going to arrive at Wuchang Prefecture within four days. Now it seems that I have to postpone it for one or two days. It would be good to go back before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's first look at the local people's livelihood. If the people live in peace and work, I will not argue with Zhang Yu. If the people are not in trouble, I will never sit idly by!"

Yun Liu said: "Yes, sir, I will send someone to investigate after I am humble!

Chen Xi yawned, suddenly remembered the soft pillow of the high bed in Wuchang Mansion City, and the beautiful couples around him.

"It's another two months after coming out. Before I knew it, time passed. After I got home, I should enjoy the joy of family!"
