After Wang Shouren left, Chen Xi frowned and thought about his thoughts, but had no intention of saying anything.

Xie Qian was dissatisfied and asked, "Why, do you actually have any doubts about Bo'an? He is a Jinshi of the same year as you and comes from a famous family, why can't you get your trust?"

Chen Xi looked at Xie Qian and said solemnly: "I know people and face but not the heart. I don't know whether the elders are satisfied with this answer? Now in this world, the conflict between us and the eunuch party has been made public, and even some people in the Ministry of War were bribed by the eunuch party. At this time, should we be unsuspecting and open our hearts to others?"

Xie Qian muttered, "You kid, Xu is only twenty years old, but you always treat people and things with the mentality of an elderly person in his fifty or sixty years old? You are both reckless and steady as an elderly person. It is really difficult to grasp your thoughts... When Bo An was there before, you covered up, and now you can say that, how are you going to fight back against Liu Jin?"

Chen Xi shook his head: "The students have no good plans!"

"What!?"

Xie Qian was very surprised to Chen Xi's answer and asked, "I came to my house and informed you of the difficulties you face in detail, so that you can be prepared for it, but you can't deal with it?"

Chen Xi sighed: "Liu Jin's counterattack is indeed sharper than I thought, but this is understandable. He can go to the leopard room to face the saint at all times, and is deeply trusted by His Majesty. Now His Majesty has handed him the power of review of the six ministries. After the sage edict is issued, how should the cabinet master think the students should fight back?"

Xie Qian thought for a while and said, "Can't you meet the saint? You don't make any efforts and just say there is no chance. I don't think this is your due attitude."

Chen Xi smiled wryly and explained: "Actually, before the elders came to inform the school, the students had known that something had happened in the court, and Liu Jin's power increased again. However, now our goal is to defeat Liu Jin, rather than to deal with the offensive he launched, and to be passive everywhere."

"To put it another way, even if Liu Jin does not control the review power of the six ministries and the students do not obey their orders, so what? After all, even if Liu Jin cannot control the Ministry of War, he still controls the power of the government and calls for the wind and rain. The emperor can deceive His Majesty's audio-visual and the subordinates can make the subjects afraid. Will the court change due to a policy?"

Xie Qian originally felt that after Chen Xi introduced the national policy, he took the initiative in the struggle with Liu Jin. Now, after hearing what Chen Xi said, he couldn't help but mutter and said:

"Liu Jin cannot control the Ministry of War, and has no military power. At least he cannot harm the country and the people... Furthermore, you can use Your Majesty's interest in military affairs to slowly pull him back to the right path."

Chen Xi shook his head: "Ge Lao, it is human nature to be greedy for enjoyment. Besides, Your Majesty is very interested in strange and lewd things. In addition, he is a yearning for the opposite sex during adolescence, and he cannot extricate himself from being addicted to leisure and joy. Even if Your Majesty is interested in military affairs, it is difficult to give up all those things that are lazy and stay away from evil officials."

Xie Qian said angrily: "Then do you have to propose national policies before?"

Chen Xi answered honestly: "Students are just seeking self-protection. When facing such a strong opponent, shouldn't they stay for themselves? It's no better to control an army than anything else? However, Liu Jin was ingenious and suddenly came to the Ministry of War's review from His Majesty. In the future, the Ministry of War will be under its supervision... It seems that everything will return to the starting point."

Xie Qian looked angry and didn't want to pay attention to Chen Xi for a while. Chen Xi didn't explain much to himself, mainly because he didn't want to give Xie Qian some unreasonable hope.

Chen Xi knew that Liu Jin's fall in history was not because of something else, but because he threatened the imperial power. To make Liu Jin fall, it was not because he had much power in his own hands, nor was it because he went to the emperor to say bad things about Liu Jin, but because he wanted to cook oil and flowers in a fire, so that Liu Jin would become more and more centralized and act without any scruples. Only then would the emperor gradually realize that Liu Jin posed a threat to his position.

No matter how favored Chen Xi is, there is a difference between inside and outside. Now Liu Jin is the real close minister in front of the emperor. If you want to give a blow to Zhu Houzhao, no one will be more convenient than Liu Jin.

This takes an appropriate opportunity. When the emperor discovers that Liu Jin has shown a trend of replacing him, then the opportunity for Chen Xi will come.

Chen Xi originally wanted to keep Xie Qian for dinner, but Xie Qian not only refused directly, but also taught a lesson: "You kid, you don't care about anything. I know that Liu Jin's power has increased and he is unable to sit still. How can I have the heart to eat? Now I have to rush to the cabinet to see the situation. You are fine, just like there is nothing wrong, it's really hard to reason."

Chen Xi spread his hands out, and it seemed very unfair. It seemed like he was guilty of invitationing for a meal at Xie Qian.

When sending Xie Qian out, Xie Qian turned around and frowned and asked, "You kid really don't have a good idea to deal with Liu Jin?"

Chen Xi smiled confidently and comforted: "Ge Master, why should we compete with Liu Jin for a long time?"

"Hmph, no matter how hard you fight, you may not be able to save your life... Do you think that Liu Jin will let you and your family go?" Xie Qian said angrily.

Chen Xi replied seriously: "Now Liu Jin thought he had found a way to deal with me and the national policy I implemented, and was proud, but he didn't know that he had the initiative from beginning to end. Moreover, he can only examine the bad policies of the Ministry of War and still has no say in the national policy. I don't need to say hello to me if I want to recruit troops! Everything is under control!"

Xie Qian frowned: "Aren't you afraid that he will come to provoke him?"

Chen Xi smiled and shook his head: "Even if he didn't get his Majesty's authorization, wouldn't he come to the Ministry of War to provoke? Or is Liu Jin the kind of person who follows the rules of the court?"

Xie Qian thought carefully that Liu Jin was used to doing things wrong and did not care about any court rules. He had summoned the court officials to the palace gate and kneeled down, and even beat people to death. In the end, nothing happened and the matter was left to nothing.

Liu Jin even dared to fight the court officials casually, let alone go to the Ministry of War to make trouble.

Chen Xi said again: "It's not bad to let Liu Jin think that it's good to have everything in control. I'm more convenient for me to do things. Master Ge doesn't have to worry. I will act cautiously and never mess with the eunuchs... There is a clear stream in the court, and all this must be followed by Master Ge. Students just do some small things after you are in front of you!"

Xie Qian raised his hand: "Put my husband a high hat. If you have the ability, fight with Liu Jin. I know that this person is insidious and cunning, and is highly valued by the emperor. I ask myself that it is not his opponent, or that you should come and fight!"

Chen Xi showed more confidence: "Since the cabinet master has high expectations for students, should we also give the same trust?"

Xie Qian frowned and finally sighed: "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, so you can do it!"

...

...

Chen Xi finally sent Xie Qian away, and he also felt a headache.

"... Not only do you have to deal with Liu Jin and the little emperor, but you also have to deal with doubts from Mr. Xie and the famous scholars in the court. It would be too tiring to look forward to it like this, right? Can you, Grand Secretary Xie, let me calm down?"

Chen Xi was actually a little dissatisfied with Xie Qian coming to the door when he encountered something, because Xie Qian was an elder, so he took the attitude of teaching his juniors aloof when he met, making Chen Xi feel that he could not let go of his hands and feet.

The two shackles of Liu Jin in front and Xie Qian in back made Chen Xi feel very depressed.

After seeing Xie Qian away, Chen Xi did not stay at home for dinner, nor did he go to the Ministry of War to see what was going on. Instead, he took Ma Jiu and other guards to a house in the city to meet Yun Liu.

This house is located in Renshoufang, close to Zhongcheng Bingmasi, not far from Dongchang, Leopard House, Shuntian Prefecture and Daxing County Yamen. It is a stronghold of the intelligence organization under the name of Chenxi.

Many things need to be kept secret. Chen Xi has an intelligence agency at hand, so he can't not only know about Liu Jin, but also let Xie Qian hear any rumors, because this is suspected of being a treason.

"Sir, aren't you worried that Eunuch Liu will send someone to assassinate you?" Yun Liu was worried with the letter Chen Xi asked her to send, "Do you need to strengthen the security force around you?"

"No need to do this!"

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Although Liu Jin is domineering, I have returned to Beijing now. In order not to lose His Majesty's trust, he dare not attack me for the time being. The fire had played a key role in the past. Now, whenever anything happens to me, the court, including the emperor, will doubt him. It is too late to protect me now!"

Although Chen Xi said this, Yun Liu still didn't let go of his worries, and his face was full of worry.

Chen Xi said: "This is not a problem you need to worry about, so let's do your business for me first! I will meet the saint later and ask Your Majesty to give me some more power. As long as you can escape Liu Jin's control, the implementation of the imperial court's national policy will be much smoother. In less than two years, Liu Jin will not be worried about it... But remember to keep these confidential. Neither your godmother or Xie Ge Lao and others, they cannot let them know, otherwise they will definitely come forward to obstruct them!"

Yunliu respectfully accepted the order: "Sir, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the things you entrust to you!"

Chen Xi nodded with a smile. He walked to Yun Liu, put his hand on the beauty's shoulder, and said in a trustworthy tone: "Yun Liu, among so many people around me, your ability is outstanding, so you have put a lot of burdens on you."

"This time I fight with Liu Jin, which may make you very embarrassed. After all, you were born into a factory guard. Although Liu Jin is not in charge of the East Factory and the Jinyiwei, in fact, he has basically controlled the power of the big and small in the court. If you find it difficult, I can temporarily take your leave, go out of Beijing to visit famous mountains and rivers in the world, and come back until the matter is over."

Yun Liu looked ashamed and lowered her head and said, "My dear love is polite. How can a man be ignorant? Now, Mr. Wei is already an adult and will never do anything indifferent. Please rest assured. Mr. Wei has no relationship with the factory and bathroom anymore, and he is devoted to doing errands for him."

Chen Xi nodded again, patted Yunliu on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, your future and Xier are fully guaranteed. I will never let down your sisters' hard work today. I owe you what I will definitely make compensation in the future!"

...

...

After saying goodbye to Yunliu, Chen Xi casually found a restaurant on the street for lunch, and went to Daming Gate to apply for the palace to meet the saint.

There was no Wu Dynasty that day, and Chen Xi suddenly asked to go to the palace to meet the emperor, and he had to go through the process. Chen Xi did not use Xie Qian's relationship and directly asked the Jinyi School Captain to communicate with him. Then he waited outside the palace and waited for an hour but couldn't see any response in the palace.

"...Mr. Shen, why are you doing this? You know that Eunuch Liu is in power now, and he ordered you not to enter the palace. What can I do? You might as well go back and submit a copy. Maybe there is a chance for His Majesty to see it. Or you might just ask Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie, who can enter and exit the palace gate freely and have a chance to meet the saint at any time. Isn't it better than you who are waiting here!?"

The person who was eager to persuade Chen Xi was Dai Yi, the eunuch of the Silijian.

Dai Yi left the palace to do business. When he passed by the palace gate, he saw Chen Xi waiting for news here, so he came over to persuade him, hoping that Chen Xi would turn around and not have a head-on conflict with Liu Jin.

Chen Xi glanced at Dai Yi and smiled and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Dai, for your reminder, but I am willing to wait. This is also the way to be a minister!"

Dai Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Shen is so persistent, there is nothing to persuade us in our family... Our family is very respectful to you, but our family cannot help you spread it. Now everyone knows that Eunuch Liu is powerful, and even more so in the palace. Our family is not the kind of person who dislikes his longevity. Lord. Shen, please beg for your own blessings!"

After saying that, Dai Yi left in a hurry, Chen Xi watched his back, wondering in his heart what Dai Yi was doing after leaving the palace.

After waiting for almost an hour, someone finally responded in the palace, but Chen Xi took a look and didn't want to take a second look. It was Liu Jin who he was going to deal with now.

Liu Jin looked full of energy, and he heard him say hello from afar: "Oh, isn't this Chen Shangshu? What wind blows you here? Are you going to enter the palace to meet the saint?"

In his words, Liu Jin simply regarded the palace as his back garden, and felt like the host saw the visitor. This was also a kind of arrogant attitude that Liu Jin showed when he was in power. Everyone he met was like his ancestors meeting his grandson.

Liu Jin did not come alone, but was accompanied by a large group of eunuchs and Jinyiwei. Now Liu Jin is very particular about the show when he comes and goes. Chen Xi continued to wait with his head down, not wanting to talk nonsense to someone like Liu Jin at all.

Chen Xi turned a deaf ear to him, and an eunuch behind Liu Jin reminded him: "Sir, Eunuch Liu is greeting you, haven't you heard it?"

Chen Xi was too lazy to look up and closed her eyes to rest, but heard Liu Jin scolding: "How did you talk to Shangshu Chen? Is there any part of you here? Kowtow to Lord Shen and apologize!"

Then an eunuch came over, walked to Chenxi and knelt down, raised his hand and greeted him in the face. The face was thumping, and the eunuch cried and said while beating: "Mr. Shen, the villain is ignorant of Mount Tai. If you offend me, please forgive me!"

Chen Xi opened his eyes and thought it was a look of indifference on his face.

Liu Jin was not angry at all, with a smile on his face, as if he had to win the victory, and said with a smile: "Shangshu Chen looks in a bad mood. OK, okay, get up, there is no need to fight, stay there. Shangshu Chen, our representative of His Majesty comes out to see you and convey His Majesty's meaning. Why are you resisting?"

As the apology eunuch retreated, Chen Xi finally looked at Liu Jin with a cold look on his face: "Eunuch Liu has something to say, there is no need to beat around the bush. Since I have arrived here, I am ready to be embarrassed by some people."

Liu Jin smiled even more happily and said, "It seems that Secretary Chen has a prejudice against our family. Our family is not a petty person. Since Secretary Chen comes to meet the saint, our family knows it, so we naturally have to report to Your Majesty. Your Majesty already knows that you are here, so please come in and meet the saint!"

An eunuch wanted to remind Liu Jin about something, but he glared at him. The eunuch quickly retreated aside.

Chen Xi was too lazy to pay attention to Liu Jin, and followed him into the Ming Gate. Liu Jin turned around as he walked, "Your Majesty is not having a good rest today. Qingmeng is getting angry when he was disturbed! Shangshu Chen, are you mentally prepared. If you say something you shouldn't say in a while, it will be unhappy to Your Majesty, and it will be difficult to take responsibility!"

Liu Jin was extremely proud while speaking.

It was also because Liu Jin had just made a clever move and put the Ministry of War back under his control, and he couldn't wait to see Chen Xi betrayed.

However, he was also worried that Chen Xi would argue with the emperor about today's problems, so he gave a vaccination first. Moreover, he had a countermeasure in his mind. If Chen Xi attacked him in the face of the saint, he would be sure to rebel against Chen Xi's army.

Liu Jin thought to himself: "No matter how powerful you, Shen Zhihou, are you still defeated by me? I don't believe that you can change your mind. Your Majesty's best bet on your face. How can you take back what you say so easily?"

Chen Xi pretended not to hear Liu Jin's words and remained silent throughout the whole process. Soon the two of them came outside the Ganqing Palace, and Liu Jin said, "Shangshu Chen is waiting outside, let's go in and spread the news! Haha..."
Chapter completed!
