Chenxi stayed in Qinlou at night. .

The next day, as soon as the four gates of Jiangxia City opened, a fast horse galloped into the east gate. The officers and soldiers stopped him, but he took out the Dongchang waist sign and claimed that he had an important mission and sent a letter to the Governor's Office.

Then, the man brought a letter to the Governor's Office. Who would have thought of going in and asking, but then he realized that Chen Xi had not come back last night. He asked where he went but couldn't get any answers, so he had to leave.

"I wonder where Lord Shen, the three-sided general manager, is?"

The messengers came to the prefecture, county, vassal department, and magistrate government offices, but there was still no accurate answer.

Finally, the man arrived at the Dusi Yamen, and Su Jingyang assigned someone to send him to Qinlou where Chenxi was staying. At this time, Chenxi was sleeping soundly, and the streets outside were quarreled and did not wake up. However, Yunliu was awakened and carefully broke free from Chenxi's arms. After dressing neatly, he went out to go downstairs. When he saw the guards stopped him, he claimed to be a messenger from the capital.

The messenger asked as soon as he saw Yun Liu, "Is this Lord Chen Xishen?"

Yun Liu was very annoyed because she didn't want people to know that Chen Xi was staying in Qinlou overnight, but after being disturbed by this person, I'm afraid everyone knows Chen Xi's identity now.

Yunliu asked, "Who are you?"

The man seemed extremely arrogant: "I was ordered to send a message to Wuchang Mansion, and went south to change horses but not to change people, just to see Lord Shen. Xin was from the palace..."

"ah?"

Several guards present were frightened when they heard this. They were actually messengers from the palace. The letter he sent was probably written by His Majesty himself.

Yun Liu also realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately said: "Mr. Shen is resting on it, just leave the letter."

The messenger shook his head: "No, this letter is of great importance and must be delivered to Lord Shen in person, otherwise he will not be able to explain it when he goes back. Please come out and see him."

Just when Yun Liu was in a dilemma, Chen Xi was already awakened by the noise. He opened his sleepy eyes, was in a mess, and came out of the room shakingly, and went to the stairs and asked, "Who?"

Yunliu quickly said, "Sir, it is the messenger from the capital. He said that there is a letter from the palace to you."

Chen Xi looked calm and said, "Well, let him come up."

The messenger surrounded the guards and went up to the second floor. When he arrived in front of Chen Xi, Yun Liu deliberately blocked Shen Xi, for fear that this person would suddenly attack Chen Xi.

For some reason, Yun Liu felt that this person lacked a kind of respect for Chen Xi. In addition to being a person from the palace, he was used to being above the top, and he might also be an assassin who had bad intentions towards Chen Xi.

When the man saw Chen Xi, he immediately took out the letter wrapped in yellow from his arms. Yun Liu reached out to pick it up, but the man took it back, obviously asking Chen Xi to pick it up in person.

Chen Xi frowned and said, "You are understandable to do your duty and responsibilities, but now that you have arrived in front of me, it is a bit unreasonable if you don't hand over the letter. Seeing that I can't even give you a salute, I still look rebellious. Be careful that I will impeach you in front of His Majesty!"

"If you really come from the palace, I must know what my relationship with Your Majesty is, and it is not to intimidate you."

The man's face changed. He glanced at Chen Xi, then bowed his waist, bowed respectfully, and then handed the letter to Yun Liu with both hands.

Yun Liu took the letter, first untie the yellow and thick, then opened the envelope, and then handed the letter to Chen Xi after confirming that it was not poisonous.

Chen Dao took out the letter and glanced at it. Unfortunately, the light was too dark and couldn't see clearly, so he waved his hand: "The letter has been delivered, please leave!" After that, he turned around and walked towards the room.

The man seemed very reluctant and reached out to try to say something to Chen Xi, but he held it back.

After Chen Xi entered the room, he said to Yun Liu who was following him: "Send someone to send him to the official office to have a good rest. When I finish writing the reply, I will send him back to the capital!"

...

...

As Yun Liu left, Chen Xi came to the window and opened the window. Unfortunately, the sky was not open at this time, and the world was hazy. It was quite difficult to read the letter. In desperation, he could only return to the desk table on the floor, lit the candle with a fire broker, and then sat down and used the candlelight to browse Zhu Houzhao's handwritten letter.

There is nothing to doubt. This letter was indeed written by Zhu Houzhao. The handwriting was skewed and the text was full of vernacular words. However, he was respectful to Chen Xi. He just wanted to ask about his goodbye and tell him goodbye. The subsequent content was to ask Chen Xi if he was willing to go to the northwest to serve as the governor of the three sides.

"What's the point of sending this letter after the official order of the court? Can you still regret it if I don't want to go?"

Chen Xi was a little unhappy, but he also knew that Zhu Houzhao was purely kind-hearted in order to transfer him to the northwest, and no matter what, it was a promotion. Compared with other positions, the three-sided governor usually served as officials at the Shangshu level when he returned to the court, which was also a roundabout strategy. Of course, as long as Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were in power for one day, he would not get what he wanted.

At the same time, Chen Xi was a little worried about his mentality and secretly reviewed himself. It is true that his relationship with Zhu Houzhao was a teacher and student in the past, but now he is a monarch and minister, and he can no longer treat it with the casual attitude he used to be.

Yun Liu arranged the messenger and walked in from outside. When she saw Chen Xi sitting on the floor reading the letter, she moved the lotus to the side of the table and held her breath. She obviously didn't want to disturb Chen Xi's thoughts.

Finally, Chen Xi finished reading the letter and sighed softly: "This letter has no nutrition..."

Yunliu didn't understand what Chen Xi said, and did not dare to ask questions casually. At this time, Chen Xi stood up and shaking and a little unstable. Yunliu hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Sir!"

Chen Xi stood still and waved his hand: "It's okay, maybe I drank too much last night, and I'm still a little bit more... When is it now?"

Yun Liu said: "If you go back to me, it is now the end of the fifth day. Will you go home?"

"What are you going back? It's not even dawn yet, so it's just right to continue sleeping... It seems that I haven't done so much in a long time... Yun Liu, serve me to bed!"

Chen Xi spread his arms out.

"Yes, sir!"

Yunliu was absolutely obedient to Chen Xi. When she heard Chen Xi's instructions, she didn't think much about it. She immediately dressed for Chen Xi, served Chen Xi first, then closed the window and pulled the curtains, and then returned to the edge of the ground mat and hid in Chen Xi's arms.

...

...

After about an hour, the hour of Mao was almost over, and Chen Xi got up.

At this time, Qinlou knew that the one who stayed overnight was Lord Shen, the governor of two provinces, was ecstatic. This was the best marketing gimmick. I believe that after today, the gentry of Wuchang Prefecture would break the threshold of Qinlou.

Qin Liu was diligently preparing breakfast. Chen Xi had just pushed open the door and smelled the fragrance of rice porridge.

Chen Xi did not refuse Qin Lou's kindness, and left after having breakfast with Yun Liu.

Chen Xi boarded the carriage and was about to order to go to the Dusi Yamen. Su Jingyang had already arrived at the horse and greeted him when he arrived at the carriage: "Sir, it's so early!"

Chen Xi lifted the curtain of the car. When he saw Su Jingyang's smiling face, he knew that he was coming to inquire about the messenger. He immediately rolled his eyes and said:

"Old Su, you have nothing to say. You really want to beat you up, judging by your appearance."

Su Jingyang smiled and said with a smile: "Your Madam is fine, you can do it anytime. Bei Zhi will never fight back. I sent a messenger to Wuchang Mansion to find an adult, and almost all the yamen... It can be said that the city was full of storms! In the end, Bei Zhi took the initiative and asked someone to take him to find Lord Shen. If the whereabouts of Lord Madam were leaked, please forgive me."

Chen Xi flattered his mouth: "So what if I don't forgive me? Now I'm afraid everyone in Wuchang Mansion knows that I have stayed in Qinlou overnight... Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you, now I'm rushing over, maybe I want to know about the messenger?"

Su Jingyang smiled ashamedly: "I know that nothing can be hidden from my lord. I am really curious. Who is he who dares to be so arrogant... I heard that it has something to do with the palace?"

Chen Xi didn't intend to hide anything, and said directly: "It was the messenger sent by Your Majesty. Your Majesty wrote me a letter..."

Zhu Houzhao wrote letters to Chen Xi not once or twice, and Chen Xi didn't think it was very strange. But Su Jingyang and others were different. In their opinion, the emperor's letters to ministers was not a court document, but a private approach was taken, which made them feel very incredible and they became more and more awe of Chen Xi.

Su Jingyang asked tentatively: "Sir, I don't know what Your Majesty has to give... It's not that you are looking for the secrets, but just want to listen to the Lord's teachings."

Chen Xidao: "No teachings are all very private matters. The only thing that is related to you is that Your Majesty will refer to my opinions when hiring people..."

"If I go to the northwest, I can consider recruiting you and helping me rectify my troops. But when I arrive at the local area, your most important task at the moment is to help me make a big stall in Huguang, and the industrial park alone will cost a lot of money."

When Su Jingyang heard this, he was stunned at first, and then his face was full of surprise.

The emperor gave Chen Xi the privilege of giving Chen Xi the autonomy of the dispatching generals, so he naturally had to transfer a group of confidants to the northwest. Su Jingyang thought to himself: "In the past two years, I followed Lord Shen to fight south and north, and now it is finally the season of harvest... Lord first recruited a thousand Huguang soldiers to go north, and then I went..."

The more Su Jingyang thought about it, the more excited he became, as if he was named a marquis and worshipped him in front of him.

Su Jingyang couldn't wait: "Sir, what arrangements are you going to make after you arrive in the northwest? I hope to obey the teachings in front of you and fight the Tatars with you!"

Chen Xi smiled and thought to himself: "Why is the idea of ​​the lieutenant general so consistent with the emperor? They all think about how to start a war with the Tatars and establish achievements, but why don't they want to defend the border and develop the economy and people's livelihood? No matter what, the welfare of the people is the most important. Once a war begins, no matter whether it wins or loses, the people will always suffer and the lower-class soldiers..."
