Capital City, Xie Mansion.

Xie Qian was extremely surprised to learn that Chen Xi implemented reforms in Xuanfu and then gathered people to rebel.

He never thought about whether Liu Jinpan had falsely accused of this matter. After all, it was a big deal. How could someone lie on such a major issue?

"This kid, just arrived at Xuanfu, started to struggle again... He really couldn't be at peace wherever he went!"

Mr. Xie Qian put himself in the position of guide in the officialdom of Chenxi, feeling that he should have the awareness of wiping Chenxi's butt at any time, rather than letting Shen Xi solve his troubles every time.

So when Xie Qian knew something happened to Chen Xi, he finally felt that he had some effect.

It was not a solution to always hide at home, so Xie Qian decided to go out to find out the news. Although Liu Jin was basically controlled by Liu Jin from the cabinet to the six ministries, to the various temples and Shuntian Prefectures, Xie Qian always had many friends in the court, and it was not so difficult to obtain some insider information.

Xie Qian went first, of course, the cabinet.

It was less than three o'clock in the afternoon, and Jiao Fang and Liu Yu were not there, and only Yang Tinghe took turns in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Liang Chu was sent to Nanjing, but Xie Qian also said he could not come out of illness. The cabinet was basically controlled by Liu Jin, and Yang Tinghe could not be used. He acted as a coolie in the middle and was responsible for drafting votes for some irrelevant places.

"Xie Zhongtang?"

Yang Tinghe was a little surprised when he saw Xie Qian. He hadn't seen Xie Qian for nearly two months.

In other words, during the past two months, Xie Qian was named the chief minister of the cabinet, but gave Liu Jin all the big and small matters of the court to Liu Jin, doing nothing.

Xie Qian waved his hand and signaled Yang Tinghe to sit down, pretending to be stance and cough twice, meaning that his illness was not cured.

After the two of them sat down, Xie Qianyu asked earnestly: "My husband, have you heard about Xuanfu?"

Yang Tinghe thought about it and immediately understood what Xie Qian was saying, and was a little embarrassed: "The local report of Xuanfu was caused by the reform of Shangshu Chen, and the Ministry of War and other government agencies attached the matter. Now the news has been submitted to Your Majesty by Eunuch Liu. Your Majesty's imperial pen is approved by the local government and the local government must quell the rebellion within one month."

Xie Qian sighed, "What happened really... Is there anything else?"

Yang Tinghe shook his head: "I don't know much below."

Xie Qian's old face was pitch black. He thought that since the local and six ministries had already reported it, the matter was gone.

Until now, he still didn't believe that Liu Jin had such a courage to deceive Zhu Houzhao, so he immediately stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go back first."

Yang Tinghe was surprised and asked, "I just want to ask about this when I entered the palace?"

Xie Qian seemed helpless: "I have not recovered from my illness, so I can only go home for a while... It's up to you in the court. You must keep your duty safe and not be disturbed by external things."

Yang Tinghe did not expect Xie Qian would educate him, so he shook his head with a wry smile, and said nothing.

Immediately, Yang Tinghe sent Xie out of Wenyuan Pavilion, and then returned to continue the ticket.

...

...

Xie Qian left the palace, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

He did not annoy Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao to report, but instead complained that Chen Xi was causing trouble in the local area.

He always unconsciously regarded himself as the elder of Chen Xi, and felt that it was his responsibility to educate Chen Xi well. However, he was angry in front of Shen Xi many times before, and it was basically unreasonable, and there were too few times when he was in charge of justice.

This time I finally got a chance...

Although he had once been full of friends in the court, when he left the left gate of Chang'an, Xie Qian suddenly found that his friends had either retreated from the court or were exiled to the outside world. No one had formed a clique with him and could not find an effective way to break the deadlock for a while.

With depression, Xie Qian returned to Xie's mansion. As soon as he entered the gate, the doorman reported that Lord Shen was visiting him.

"Mr. Shen? Which Master Shen? Is Chen Xi, the governor of Xuanfu?" Xie Qian asked.

The concierge was very curious: "Master, who is close to our family, and there are other Lord Shen in addition to Miss Sun's husband?"

Xie Qian asked angrily: "Where is the person?"

"Just leave the person who just left the conversation, it seems that there is something important... mainly because I heard that you are not here, and he said he would visit later." The concierge replied.

Xie Qian looked at him disdainfully: "I don't know what the Shen family's children thought, so they didn't even help me. They couldn't even stay and wait... However, judging from all aspects, the boy sent someone to me to ask for help! Humph, if I had known today, why would I have been there?"

...

...

Xie Qian wanted to take the airs off, but he did not see the envoy sent by Chen Xi, but thought that Chen Xi was demoted to Xuanfu because he helped him. Now that he was in trouble, there was no one to ask for help, and he had a little more "compassion". After nightfall, the envoy came again and asked the servants to take the people to the study.

What came was Yun Liu in men's clothing.

When Yun Liu sent Chen Xi's handwritten letter and Yang Wu's peace memorial, Xie Qian took a brief look and felt that his worldview had been subverted.

He never thought that Liu Jin was so brave that he deceived the government and the people and fabricated such a huge lie, which shows how chaos in the court was.

"this……!"

Xie Qian looked at Yunliu and wanted to determine whether the letters and memorials were true or false.

Yunliu bowed: "Mr. Xie, this is what Lord Shen asked Beizhi to send to the capital city. He specially told you to deliver it to your old hand... Lord Shen ordered that the memorial be handled by Lord Xie and he would not interfere."

Xie Qian said angrily: "That's what he said?"

Yunliu said: "Yes."

Xie Qian was a little angry and felt that he was being used as a gun by Chen Xi. He was a little unwilling to accept it and asked, "What he meant was to ask me to submit the memorial to Your Majesty and prove to Your Majesty that he was innocent. Liu Jin was purely a vain and even intended to deceive Your Majesty?"

Yun Liu recalled it carefully, then shook her head and said, "Sir, I didn't say that. Mr. Shen said that the specific matters should be displayed in the letter. Mr. Xie will know after reading it."

"hehe!"

Faced with an uninformed Yun Liu, Xie Qian didn't even feel angry.

He can be angry at Chen Xi and pretend to behave, but when facing Chen Xi's subordinates, Xie Qian does not want to lose his composure. He always thinks that his old face is more precious than anything else.

Xie Qian frowned and said angrily: "When I go back and notify him, I say that I have received the letter and know that he was wronged... Wait, it's only been five days since the incident happened. How did the news be passed to Xuanfu, and how did he deliver the letters and memorials to the capital?"

Yunliu replied respectfully: "Mr. Shen got the news of the capital with a fast horse, and then asked Beiyi to change horses and not replace people. He rode back to the capital for two consecutive days..."

Xie Qian took a breath and said, "He is very concerned... Are you from Xuanfu Town?"

“That’s right.”

Yunliu's waist was straight, and she felt that she had accomplished a very great thing. She could have handed over the letter to her subordinates, but she was worried, so she brought her follower back with a whip.

Xie Qian sighed, "Well, it seems that he is more prepared than me... Well, he is not in a hurry to submit the memorial to His Majesty, because he wants to keep a record of the case in the cabinet!"

Xie Qian quickly understood Chen Xi’s intention.

It seems that Chen Xi did not mean to let Xie Qian defend himself in front of Zhu Houzhao, but instead wanted to keep the memorials so that they could be used as important evidence to attack Liu Jin in the future.

Xie Qian thought something: "Yes, now that Liu Jin is in charge of the government affairs, who can send memorials to Your Majesty? The background of these memorials is left on the cabinet. If Your Majesty asks in the future, it can be used as a means to attack Liu Jin. The eunuch may make a mistake if he caught off guard..."

Yunliu couldn't answer these things.

However, she roughly understood Chen Xi's intention from Xie Qian's words, and felt that Xie Qian's analysis made sense.

The same is true before, and there is no intention to force Xie Qian to come out.

"Aren't you in a hurry to rush back to Xuan Mansion?" Xie Qian suddenly remembered something and asked at Yun Liu.

"Yes!" Yun Liu didn't want to answer Xie Qian's question, but recalled Chen Xi's previous explanation and realized that the only trustworthy person in the capital was Xie Qian. Anyone could harm Chen Xi and her, but Xie Qian didn't. She was equivalent to Xie Qian's subordinate in the capital.

Xie Qian asked bluntly: "How many people do you have?"

Yunliu did not answer directly and said implicitly: "It is enough to investigate the information and drive Lord Xie."

"Ha ha!"

Xie Qian couldn't help laughing and waved his hand. Finally, his old face was a little gloomy, "He clearly transferred you back to the capital to help me do things. Does that mean... he has a way to defeat Liu Jin?"

Yun Liu didn't answer, and this time I really don't know how to answer.

"I don't have to go back to me. I understand what he means. Others are in Xuanfu, but I care about the capital. I can't understand his character most."

Xie Qian suddenly felt a little more excited, "No wonder he asked me to persevere and continue to serve the court. It seems that he wanted to use my strength to knock Liu Jin down. The memorial he sent was not a big stone that crushed Liu Jin, but he was going to stab Liu Jin after he was knocked down."

Yun Liu's rituals were sermons, and she did not dare to express her opinions casually when she was involved in the government affairs.

"very good."

Xie Qian looked at Yun Liu and said, "He arranged for you to return to Beijing. It seems that he believed in your ability... How long have you been with him?"

Yun Liu still didn't know how to answer. After all, her relationship with Chen Xi was too complicated, so she didn't know where to start. Xie Qian asked again: "Where were you during the Battle of Tumu Fort?"

"It's right in Tumu Fort." Yun Liu said.

"good!"

Xie Qian's admiration sounded very long, and his face added a little confidence, which was the confidence that a prime minister should have.

At this moment, Xie Qian swept away the previous haze, as if Liu Jin's autocracy was no longer important to him.

Xie Qian looked at Yun Liu with a little enthusiasm and said, "Since you are staying in the capital, now tell me that I can find you... This time, I will not retreat as much as before. Haha, I feel that I haven't been so happy in a long time."

...

...

Although Xie Qian didn't know how Chen Xi was going to deal with Liu Jin, he had already begun to cheer up.

The previous concessions made the court completely controlled by Liu Jin, which was one of the rare stains in his life. After this trough, Xie Qian decided to take power back again.

The next day, Xie Qian went to the cabinet again and found Jiao Fang, Liu Yu and Yang Tinghe to hold a closed-door meeting, and got the votes of the chief minister to make a decision.
