The news that Chenxi outside the transfer of Xuanfu spread throughout the capital in the shortest time.

Many people expressed regret, but some people felt that Chen Xi was demoted by themselves. After all, it was a fact that Chen Xi openly criticized Zhu Houzhao in the court.

No emperor is willing to be criticized, and what Chen Xi said has had a very bad impact.

In addition, Liu Jin deliberately provoked, which formed a public opinion trend among the people. The final result was that Chen Xi's efforts were not thankful, and many people in the court felt that Chen Xi deserved it.

Originally, a young man in his 20s served as a ministry in the court, and a large number of older officials were dissatisfied. As a result, more people supported Zhu Houzhao's decision and believed that it was natural to transfer Chen Xi to Xuanfu to "full of his talents".

In this matter, the person who was most unwilling to accept it was not Chen Xi, but Xie Qian.

After Xie Qian returned, he wrote a resignation memorial and prepared to send it to the palace. In his opinion, since Chen Xi could not stay in the court, it would be meaningless to continue to serve as the prime minister of the cabinet in name only. It would be better to return home to enjoy his old age.

Since you can't fight against the eunuchs, I'd better not play with you anymore, and you can do whatever you like.

This is also the way that the civil servants of Daming have always been doing. They can give up at any time. As for the consequences, no one cares.

After Xie Qian finished writing the resignation memorial and brought it to Wenyuan Pavilion to the palace. He happened to meet Jiao Fang, Liang Chu and Yang Tinghe who were waiting here.

It seemed that all three of them knew that Xie Qian would come to submit his resignation, but as soon as they saw him, they rushed up to persuade him. Even Jiao Fang, a backbone figure in the eunuch party, was persuading Xie Qian to think twice before acting.

"...Yu Qiao, you have to think that this time, Zhihou did something wrong, and His Majesty did not say that he would ruin his future. Isn't it a good thing to go to the Xuanfu Army to play his strength?"

Jiao Fang felt ashamed of Xie Qian, and kept finding balance when speaking, and exonerated himself by the way.

Xie Qian had a dark face and didn't say anything, and seemed to have no intention of looking back.

Liang Chu also persuaded: "Xie Shangshu, don't know where Zhihou is now? Is he... going to resign and return home, or accept the imperial edict to go to his post?"

Xie Qian was still silent. To him, the court now felt sorry for him. He had a clear conscience. As for the people in front of him, they were either Liu Jin's accomplices or corpse-positioned people, and they were not good at making plans.

Seeing that Xie Qian never spoke, Jiao Fang said helplessly: "Yu Qiao, what exactly do you think? Let everyone take a look at it."

Xie Qian glared at Jiao Fang and asked, "You Jiao Mengyang, who is your own selfish, has defected to the eunuch party and is accomplice for the tiger. Why don't you discuss it with us first?"

In one sentence, the scene is very embarrassing.

Jiao Fang's face was pretty good before, but now it's dead gray... It's not appropriate to answer Xie Qian's words.

Xie Qian stood up, looked around, and asked angrily: "After Liu Shaofu and Li Binzhi left the court, the court was peaceful for a moment. Liu Jin bought and sold officials, arranged his confidants, invaded the money, and attacked dissidents because of the name of the examination. All these things are so difficult to write about."

"What did you do about this? You either surrender and depend on him or watch coldly. Is what Zhihou said in the court that day wrong? Don't you think about who is in charge of the power of the Ming Dynasty? Is it the emperor or the eunuch?"

Jiao Fang was scolded by Xie Qian, speechless, stood up and walked out.

Liang Chu and Yang Tinghe couldn't stand up and help him talk about work. Jiao Fang had to stop as soon as he walked to the door of the office room because he was blocked by someone.

The person who came was not someone else, it was Liu Jin.

At this time, Liu Jin had just cut off a powerful enemy and was in a good mood. He seemed to have come to Wenyuan Pavilion to show off his power, but to prevent accidents, he brought a group of eunuchs and guards behind him.

"Oh! Are you clamoring inside? Oh, isn't it said that the cabinet is united? It seems that this is not the case at all. There are many conflicts among your ministers... Where is Grand Secretary Jiao going?" Liu Jin stepped into the door with one foot, but his other foot and body were left outside. He squinted his eyes and looked at Jiao Fang and asked.

Jiao Fang was unhappy because she was appointed as the eunuch party by Xie Qian, and was asked by Liu Jin, so she simply chose to avoid answering.

"snort!"

Liu Jin snorted lightly, and finally stepped into the office with his feet. Xie Qian was about to rush forward to use his old fist to Liu Jin, but was stopped by Yang Tinghe.

"Mr. Xie Ge, our family is not here to reason with you, but to notify you of your Majesty's edict. Shen Zhihou, the Minister of War, was rude to Your Majesty when he was discussing the court, and sent him to the Xuanfu to govern the army. However, Your Majesty was kind and asked him to continue to be the Minister of War. His official rank has not changed, and even his title and salary have not changed... It's really a great emperor's grace!"

Liu Jin looked proud.

"Pooh!"

Xie Qian salivated to the ground.

The more furious Xie Qian was, the more relieved Liu Jin saw it, and then said, "If anyone who can't go outside the court will be punished, the same will be true for the first time. Can I get the mercy of the monk Shen? Humph!"

"Also, because the Cabinet Grand Secretary Liang made a mistake in the promissory notes and handled affairs improperly, Your Majesty also ordered Nanjing to be the Minister of Rites... Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was incompetent, and he ordered major cases in the capital to be frequently reported. The Imperial Court was allowed to resign as the people and return to his hometown to liven up his old age... Your Majesty was kind to him, and he was given ten slaves, four carriages, and all labor was exempted from three generations, and sent to the land together."

How could Xie Qian still bear it now? He immediately broke free from Yang Tinghe's obstacle, waved his fist and greeted Liu Jin.

Even though there was someone protecting Liu Jin, Xie Qian still punched him in the eye socket.

...

...

Xie Qiong lost his mind when he was extremely angry. No matter how noble Liu Jin's identity is, he just wanted to relieve himself first.

After being beaten, Liu Jin was furious and was already clamoring to kill Xie Qian.

Originally, the fight between eunuchs in the palace was very serious. Liu Jin developed a "good skills" in his daily fights, but the people next to him would not let the two fight, and they all came forward to persuade them to fight. In this situation, Xie Qian and Liu Jin changed from fighting to scolding each other.

Xie Qian was angry and could not suppress Liu Jin and regretted it afterwards.

As for Liu Jin, even if he was attacked by Xie Qian, he had no choice but to be a sneak attack by Xie Qian. Without Zhu Hou's permission, he could not do so as the minister of life and the representative of civil servants. In the end, he could only curse and leave.

The farce soon spread among the ministers in the court, and it was known to the government and the people in a short period of time. Of course, Zhu Houzhao could not have known about this.

During this fight, Xie Qian did not suffer any losses, but he was still very angry. After all, the civil servant group in the court lost a lot, and whether the individual gained the advantage was actually irrelevant to him.

After leaving the palace, Xie Qian rushed to the Shen family immediately, believing that only Shen Xi could understand his difficulties.

When Xie moved to the Shen Mansion, the Shen family was already packing up their belongings and preparing to send Shen Xi to Xuan Mansion to perform their duties.

Xie Qian held his anger to the study room, and angrily said to Shen Xi who was writing: "You just left like this, ignore the affairs of the court from now on, and live in the bitter and cold place of Xuanfu?"

Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "This winter is cold. Before the next winter comes, there should be a good situation for more than half a year, and it is not difficult to bear!"

Xie Qian was speechless when he heard this. Chen Xi was obviously fighting him.

"You boy, do you know what I did for you before? I beat Quan Yin, who was surnamed Liu, and then beg him to return to the field. I will never stay in the court... But you look so unscrupulous, I am really annoyed."

Seeing that Xie Qian was indignant, Chen Xi probably knew what Xie Qian had done before coming.

Chen Xi thought about it and found it ridiculous to think about it. The chief minister of the cabinet, the head of the civil servant, was not as good as a eunuch in power and strategy. He actually fought with Liu Jin in public. This kind of thing would only happen to Xie Qian.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "Xie Laoer looks kind-hearted, even with a harmless appearance. He was the most peaceful in the cabinet trident at the time, but when he arrived at the Zhengde Dynasty, he had a bad temper. I wonder how straightforward Li Dongyang was in the Hongzhi Dynasty. When he arrived at the Zhengde Dynasty, he would not be the prime minister? If Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were asked to be the chief assistant and fight with Liu Jin, no one would be more responsible than Xie Qian."

Before, Chen Xi always felt that Xie Qian was pedantic and cowardly, but now it seems that Xie Qian is his best political partner.

Xie Qian likes to make jokes in small matters, but he never vaguely in major matters, which is incomparable to so many ministers in the court.

It is impossible to let Xie Qian surrender and join the eunuch party.

Chen Xi bowed and bowed: "Don't be too angry. Since the matter has happened, it's better to maintain the status quo. No matter what, the master must stay in the court, otherwise who will take charge of the overall situation? Does the master want to give all the power to Liu Jin and be defeated without a fight?"

Xie Qian's breath was heavy and he didn't speak.

Chen Xi continued: "I went to Xuanfu, and many people seemed to be responsible for it, but after I left Beijing, I might not be able to continue fighting with Liu Jin."

"What do you mean?" Xie Qian glanced at Chen Xi and asked, "It's not easy for you to fight against Liu Jin in the capital. What tricks can you do after going to Xuanfu?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Why is the matter with people... Actually, I stayed in the capital, and Liu Jin stared at me all the time, which was really not conducive to my performance. Instead, he left the center of the court and could take advantage of the situation. This struggle with the eunuch party is far from over. When he arrived at Xuanfu, at least we had military power in hand, it was not easy for Liu Jin to move me!"

Xie Qian said angrily: "Are you an official on the first day? You can't even think of this trick? Xuanfu is just under the nose of the capital. You can arrive in one day with a quick horse. Just one word from Your Majesty... or even the eunuch's words can make your official position unsecured. How do you resolve it if he asks you a difficult problem? Since ancient times, only the emperor has the right to speak before the emperor is approaching. What can you do when you go to Xuanfu?"

Chen Xi spread his hands: "The problem is that even if we guard the emperor, we still can't enter the leopard room and cannot get the right to speak. Let's take a step back, if we don't go to Xuanfu, would the Pavilion Master want me to resign and return to my hometown? Even if we resign, Your Majesty may not be able to be right?"

Now Xie Qian has nothing to say.

In fact, the anger in his heart was not for Chen Xi at all. This incident was fundamentally caused by Zhu Houzhao's greed for enjoying and enjoying the power and giving power to the eunuch, and was more dissatisfied and disappointed with the person he was loyal to.

When things got to this point, everything to tell Chen Xi was futile.

After a long time, Xie Qian sighed and said, "I won't talk to you too much. Since you have decided to follow the order to perform your duties, you can go, but you must not remember to resign at will..."

"If I am not in the court, the important task of maintaining the court will fall on your shoulders. My greatest hope is this. In the past few days, I have visited several old friends to see if there is a chance to meet the saint... Alas, since the new emperor ascended the throne, the court has become no longer like this!"

...

...

Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao appointed Chen Xi to go to Xuanfu as Governor of Xuanda and the Prime Minister of military affairs in both places.

But Liu Jin did not want to hand over the military power of Xuanfu and Datong to Chen Xi. Before Chen Xi set out, he had already begun to find ways to retain power, mainly to get the power in Wang Shouren's hands and let local military generals be loyal to him.

Out of confidence in the layout of borders in the past few months, Liu Jin felt that this matter was not difficult. In order to avoid Chen Xi taking over the power of the country, he even transferred some generals who had previously had close relationships with Chen Xi to the capital in advance.

Liu Jin was very confident. Zhu Houzhao handed over power to him, which meant that he was half an emperor and he could make decisions on everything in the court.

Chen Xi did not make too many arrangements. Before leaving for Xuanfu, he had already expected the difficult situation he would face.

The date of departure is set on the sixth day of March.

In early March, the capital was already in spring, and Chen Xi went to the Ministry of War to handle the handover and arrange all the affairs, so he prepared to set off.

He did not plan to let the female relatives around him go to Xuanfu with him. As Xie Qian said, Xuanfu is not a good place, and the border is incomparable to the prosperity of the capital. Chen Xi asked Xie Yuner to stay at home to take charge of housework.

Chen Xi is very concerned about one thing now, that is, Lin Dai and Xie Hengnu's pregnancy.

Lin Dai is about to give birth. Although Xie Hengnu still has some time, it will only take one or two months to calculate the life.

Chen Xi discovered that whenever he wanted to be a father, he would be transferred from Beijing. This was the thing he was most worried about. He could never wait by his side when his wife and children needed him the most, and could not fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and a father.

Xie Hengnu is in better condition. After all, he is the second child and has experience as a mother. After this time, he is familiar with everything. She also goes to give Lin Dai some guidance from time to time.

Lin Dai's condition is very bad. She is already an "older mother" in this era. Although she is only twenty-two years old this year, she is the first child. She has a lot of temper and is more unstable when she is about to give birth. Especially after knowing that Chen Xi is about to set off for Xuanfu, she often makes trouble at home.

On the fourth day of the third lunar month, Chen Xi did not stay in the mansion, but went to Huiniang's office to arrange for the two sisters to go to Xuan Mansion.

This time he was not going to take the family’s female family with him, but Hui Niang and Li Jin would go with him, and even Hui Niang’s son Chen Hong would take him by his side. Hui Niang had been mentally prepared earlier and had already been cleaned up in the past few days.
