Chapter 1711 Let Shenxi return to the DPRK
In Xie Qian's view, Xu Jin was close to overthrowing Liu Jin at one point, but unfortunately, his extreme actions ruined the situation, and the time to report Liu Jin was not so suitable. At present, Liu Jin checked the fiscal deficits in the capital city and Jiubian over the years, which would make Liu Jin and his accomplices suspicious on the grounds of attacks by others.
Once Zhu Houzhao becomes suspicious, he will definitely not punish a eunuch who can provide him with food, drink and fun, so that what Xu Jin says later will basically be futile.
Zhu Houzhao heard Xu Jin's passionate talk and was extremely annoyed: "Enough, Shangshu Xu should do some serious business. I will send someone to investigate what you said, but the several major things that Eunuch Liu insists on carrying out will continue. Let's stop today's discussion!"
Zhu Houzhao obviously didn't like to listen, so she simply announced the end of the court meeting and got up and went to the backside.
Liu Jin knelt on the ground and didn't get up. He wiped the sweat from his forehead. This incident made him sweat all over.
Seeing that the attack was not successful, Xu Jin wanted to go over and argue with Liu Jin, but was separated by his colleagues around him. If the Jinyiwei intervened, it would be a big problem.
Most of the officials present sympathized with and supported Xu Jin. This time, Xu Jin took the lead in fighting with Liu Jin. Many people were secretly ready to help just when the emperor's attitude became a little relaxed. Unfortunately, Xu Jin's impeachment of Liu Jin was not adopted by Zhu Houzhao, so it was meaningless to do what he next.
Without the king punishing Liu Jin and depriving him of the position of eunuch in charge of seals, Liu Jin could still be in a high position in the temple and become his emperor. Others wanted to defeat him unless it was assassination, but Liu Jin was always cautious and had extremely strict security around him. It was not easy to kill Liu Jin.
Xu Jin was surrounded by people and left the Qianqing Palace. Before leaving the palace, he glared at Xie Qian... Xie Qian was very annoyed that he had no help from Yi. Although he had known Xie Qian's attitude before, when things were about to come, he still felt a sense of pain of being betrayed.
On Liu Jin's side, several officials also came to support him. Liu Yu, the Minister of War, who had just spoken for Liu Jin, rushed to the front.
"Get up quickly, your Majesty has not believed the slander of some people. You are still the leader of the court..." Liu Yu went up and flattered him.
Liu Jin took a breath and was about to settle the score with Xu Jin, but he realized that Xu Jin had left the Qianqing Palace. However, the chief assistant of the cabinet Xie Qian had not left yet. He looked at Xie Qian with lingering fear and said to himself: "Fortunately, Xie's surname is not in trouble. With His Majesty's trust in him, if he stands up and says a few words, His Majesty may decide..."
Seeing that Liu Jin was not in his heart, Liu Yu and others remained silent. Not knowing what he was thinking about, Liu Yu asked tentatively: "Daughter-in-law is going to go back to rest, or go to the Sili Supervisor?"
Liu Jin suddenly came to his senses and said with a sharp voice: "Our family was slandered by a slut, and almost fell into guilt. This matter must not be a good choice... Immediately find someone to write a copy to impeach Xu Jin. Our family is not the kind of soft persimmon that is easy to pinch!"
In front of the civil and military officials in the Qianqing Palace, Liu Jin ordered to impeach Xu Jin in reverse, which was obviously angry and immediately wanted to weave a charge for revenge.
Liu Jin gave instructions, and someone immediately asked Xu Jin to jointly impeach him.
Liu Yu, who was once the backbone of the civil service group, was very proactive. He knew very well that once Xu Jin retreated from the Minister of Personnel, he would be basically the one who became Minister of Personnel as usual.
Moreover, among the six ministers, the one with the best relationship with Liu Jin is Liu Yu. Liu Jin's confidant Sun Cong had greeted him before and intended to replace Xu Jin as the Minister of Personnel. After today's incident, he believed that Xu Jin's retreat was basically a foregone conclusion, and he was just around the corner.

After leaving the Ganqing Palace, Xie Qian went to Wenyuan Pavilion for a walk, explained official duties to Jiao Fang and Wang Yang, and then went back home.
He knew that Xu Jin would definitely come to him to talk to him after he hit a wall, so he urged the groom to hurry up and waited for the house to return to the house and closed the door to thank the guests. However, when others arrived in front of the Xie Mansion, Xu Jin, who was rushing to the carriage, had already been waiting there.
Xie Qian got out of the carriage, looked at Xu Jin who was glaring at him, his old face wrinkled, and waved his hand and said, "Since the matter is not done, what will you do to see me?" After that, he walked straight into the yard.
Xu Jin followed up and walked side by side with him: "After today, I will retreat from the Ministry of Personnel. Who will fight with Liu Zhe in the future?"
Xie Qian snorted lightly and said, "Since you know how to hit the stone with eggs, why should you do it? If you are in the court, you can still maintain the clear stream of the Ministry of Personnel. When you leave, the Ministry of Personnel will definitely be controlled by the treacherous party and will be determined to sell official positions and titles. Who else can stop it in the court?"
"have."
Xu Jin grabbed Xie Qian, stopped, looked at his old friend solemnly, and said, "It's you Xie Yuqiao."
Xie Qian stared at Xu Jin, and Xu Jin looked back with a sad face. Finally, Xie Qian felt a sense of sorrow in his heart, and he turned his gaze to the side, saying with regret: "Oh, if I had known that the consequences of fighting with him were unpredictable, why would you try it regardless of the consequences? Wouldn't it be better to be safe?"
Xu Jin smiled bitterly: "You think I am willing? There have been rumors in the court that Liu Zhe wanted to get rid of me and then hurry up. He secretly discussed with Liu Yu, Minister of War, to replace me... If you think I will not impeach him today, I will be able to guard the Ministry of Personnel? But today's things will not be done, and the general situation will be... "
"Yu Qiao, although there are many people in the court who want to destroy Liu thieves now, if you don't come forward, these people will inevitably be cut off by Liu thieves one by one. When the court is filled with eunuchs, you may be safe and secure at that time?"
Xie Qian shook Xu Jin's hand away and continued to move forward. Xu Jin chased behind and said, "Yu Qiao, you should understand the consequences of the eunuch party's dictatorship now. The court is full of chaos. Why do you still want to leave the matter?"
Xie Qian said: "Since things are not done, what's the point of reasoning?"
Xu Jin followed Xie Qian into the study room. The servant came over to ask for instructions. Xie Qian said angrily: "Close the door and don't let people come in and disturb you."
The two came to the desk and sat down with the guest and host. Xu Jin said, "Yu Qiao, I have thought about it a long time ago. Now you are unwilling to fight with Liu Zhe, but someone can be incompatible with him."
"who?"
Xie Qian was stunned for a moment, thinking that Xu Jin had any conspiracy.
Xu Jin's lips smiled and said, "I wrote to the emperor and asked for resignation, which made Liu Yu's thief... So what if he asked him to be the Minister of Personnel? Without waiting for Liu thief to take action, I would resign myself so as not to stay in the court. However, Shen Zhihou must take responsibility for the position of Minister of War, so His Majesty had proposed to return to the court to be the Minister of the Court, and this matter would be accomplished."
When Xie Qian heard this, he picked up the pen holder on the desk and poked it to Xu Jin who was sitting opposite him. Xu Jin got up and dodged. Xie Qian walked around the desk and chased him and continued to poke it. However, Xu Jin grabbed the pen holder in his hand, snatched it and threw it to the ground.
Xu Jin ignored his mercy and said bluntly: "Yu Qiao, I can understand you protecting your calf, but don't forget that Your Majesty's trust in Shen Zhihou can not be replaced by others."
"Besides, Shen Zhihou can achieve today's achievements in just a few years. It's not that you thanked Yuqiao for his cultivation, but that he has real skills. This person can at least fight Liu Zhe when he returns to the court. It's useless to block it. I'll write it before submitting a memorial. I'll enter the palace to meet the saint later. Even if you give him a desperate advice, you won't give up."
Xie Qian felt so angry.
Regarding Xu Jin's memorial, he adopted the strategy of watching the fire from the other side of the river. Unexpectedly, Xu Jin planned to plot against him early in the morning, and asked Chen Xi to return to the court to serve as the Minister of War, and asked Chen Xi to take the lead in fighting with Liu Jin.
Xie Qian was so angry that he coughed. After a while, he sorted out his breath and said, "You are trying to trick the child from Chenxi... He is now leading troops on three sides, is it a hindering you?"
Xu Jin flattened his mouth and said, "It was you who thanked Yu Qiao for being mediocre and incompetent, that Liu Zhe was in power. You, the chief assistant, was willing to be a eunuch party. How could Yu feel at ease? I just wanted to let Shen Zhihou return to the court... Yu Qiao, I want to see if Shen Zhihou comes back, will you still be as calm as you are today."
"Don't think about it!"
Xie Qian cursed, "Good you, Xu Jisheng, you are bold and act rudely, thinking that I am afraid of you? Chen Xi's son will never return to the court no matter what. I will go and ask Your Majesty..."
After Ma Wensheng, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others retreated from the court, Xie Qian and Xu Jin were already the top Chinese officials in the court, and everyone followed the lead of the two.
But now the two are quarreling about fighting against Liu Jin. Finally, Xu Jin yells to leave Xie's mansion, saying that he will never give up.
...
...
Xie Mansion Study Room.
Hearing that Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel left in anger, Mrs. Xu rushed over to persuade him: "Master, please calm down. Who in the court provoked you? Do you want to go home and be angry? Lord Xu is an old minister and has always had a good relationship with you..."
Xie Qian cursed: "What do you know, a woman? That old man Xu Jisheng actually wanted Chen Xi's son to return to the court to serve as the Minister of War!"
Mrs. Xu's eyes lit up and she said, "Master, this is a good thing!"
Xie Qian shouted angrily: "It's a good thing. Now the eunuch party is tyrannical. I am angry with the eunuch party every day in the court. I want Chen Xi to spend a few days in the northwest. If he returns to the court to become the Minister of War, the eunuch party can let him go easily? Your Majesty trusts him very much. He repeatedly asks about military affairs in the northwest during court discussions, and even secretly gives rewards to the Shen family. These are enough for the eunuch party to hold a grudge against him."
Mrs. Xu said again: "Master, you have thought too much. What's wrong with returning to the court to become an official? You have said that Your Majesty has a lot of trust in Lord Shen. Even if you make some mistakes occasionally, you will forgive me. If you want to maintain a good reputation, you can stay away from the eunuch party... After returning to the court to serve as Minister of War, Lord Shen can stay in the capital and live with Jun'er day and night. What a great thing this is!"
"A woman is short-sighted, just like Xu Jisheng. She should not do to others what she does not want others to do to her. If she can't fight with someone surnamed Liu, she must implicate others."
Xie Qian said, anxiously, "No, no, I want to enter the palace to meet the saint, so I must not let Xu Jisheng take the lead... Oh no, how will he meet the saint when he enters the palace now? What is this guy's idea?"
Xie Qian had been angry before and didn't think about it carefully.
After he calmed down and thought about it, he immediately found that something was wrong. Xu Jingang angered Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin, and he would definitely be rejected when he entered the palace.
But even so, Xie Qian felt that Xu Jin might have some hell of a trick that would allow Chen Xi to be the Minister of War. If Liu Yu stepped down from the Ministry of War, it seemed that the first candidate for the Minister of War in front of him was Chen Xi, and there was no one else.
