Chen Xi is already tireless about the question of when to send troops.

Not only did the Governor's Office and General's Office hope that Chen Xi could go on the road earlier, but even Chen Xi's subordinates hoped that they could go to the battlefield as soon as possible to make achievements.

Especially the warlike Wang Lingzhi and Jing Yue came to Chenxi every day to ask for instructions to see when they could send troops.

Zhang Yong arrived at Xuanfu and rested all day. Until the next day, the imperial edict still did not arrive. He began to be anxious. He found Chen Xi and once again stated his intentions. Due to the issues of military merits and the issue of priority and secondary troops, he hoped that Chen Xi would lead his troops in the shortest time.

"...Mr. Shen, our family may not be very clear yesterday. We cannot wait for the imperial eunuch to arrive when sending troops. Our family is the eunuch appointed by His Majesty himself. He is responsible for the emperor's order. Even our family has arrived. If you don't send troops, you will be unable to say..."

When Zhang Yong came to Xuanfu, he did not immediately talk to Chen Xi about defeating Liu Jin. He repeatedly talked about sending troops. It was obvious that he had made up his mind to implement his military merits first, and then talked about how to deal with political enemies.

When Zhang Yong spoke, Chen Xi kept smiling and listening, without any intention of interrupting. After a while, Zhang Yong asked, "Does Lord Shen understand?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "The dispatch of troops seems to be urgent, but in fact, it is not the case. As I know, the three sides have been mobilized, especially in Shaanxi, where soldiers and generals are being dispatched. It is not realistic for the rebels to kill the Yellow River."

Zhang Yong was not relieved, but became nervous and said, "What about the follow-up?"

"Second?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "I have also been paying attention to the news from Ningxia Town these days, but there are too few sources of information. Now all parts of Shanxi and Shaanxi have been martial law, and checkpoints are set up at the ferry terminals, and business travelers have disappeared... The only thing I can count on now is official information, and I can only wait."

Zhang Yong said: "That's just that there is no news... Why didn't Lord Shen send troops quickly? Our family knows that you have a civil and military strategy. There is no one in the court who knows about soldiers. As long as you send troops, you will be invincible and play a sing of triumph."

But no matter how Zhang Yong persuaded him, Chen Xi was unmoved.

Chen Xidao: "Without the imperial edict of the court, sending troops is an usurpation. I have a long grudge with Liu Jin... Could it be that Eunuch Zhang and Liu Jin are in the same group? Set up a trap and let me transfer troops without authorization, and then Liu Jin makes a big fuss in the court?"

Zhang Yong was stunned and then realized that he had not yet gained full trust in Chenxi.

Zhang Yong looked around and was sure no one eavesdropped. He leaned forward and whispered, "Does Lord Shen think our family is in the same group as Mr. Liu?"

"Isn't it?" Chen Xi asked with a smile.

Zhang Yong shook his head repeatedly, "Of course not. Speaking of which, the main purpose of our family to visit Xuanfu is to avoid Liu's edge, so as not to harm him."

Chen Xidao: "Since that's the case, why should Eunuch Zhang avoid taboos in front of me?"

Zhang Yong's face was full of embarrassment. He did not dare to express his dissatisfaction with Liu Jin in public, but he also knew that if he could not unite all forces to fight against Liu Jin, even if he made military achievements this time, he would not receive rewards after returning to Beijing, and would even be harmed by Liu Jin.

Zhang Yongdao: "To be honest, something happened before our family left the capital, but it was said that the wealthy businessmen and gentry in northern Zhili donated silver to His Majesty, but Liu Jin greedyed me..."

Perhaps because he thought there was no need to hide in front of Shen Xi, Zhang Yong told the whole story of the incident in the capital that he offended Liu Jin because he was entrusted by Zhu Houzhao to investigate the case.

Finally, he sighed, "...I don't know why Liu Jin knew about it. He made a noise that our family would not die well. If His Majesty had not appointed our family to go out of Beijing to serve as a military supervisor for Lord Shen, I'm afraid Liu Jin would have taken action against us!"

Chen Xi nodded slightly: "Will that father-in-law Zhang accept it and just wait for the next day to surrender?"

"well!"

Zhang Yuan said bitterly, "Mr. Shen thinks our family doesn't want to fight back? But now that Your Majesty is not in the court to ask about politics, he handed over the power of the government to Liu Jin. That guy is in power and lawless. There are constant memorials to impeach him in the court, but not only does not hurt him at all, but Liu Jin is revenge. Even Lord. Shen, don't you... Alas!"

Chen Xidao: "It's up to people. If you don't do anything, you won't see the hope of overthrowing Liu Jin."

A gleam suddenly flashed in Zhang Yong's eyes, "I have a chance. I heard that King Anhua was planning to rebel, and was attacking the banner of "clearing the king's side". Now the soldiers on the nine sides are all dissatisfied with the people sent by Liu Jin to manage the military farm. This time, King Anhua's rebellion was related to the anger of the officials sent by Liu Jin. If you can let Your Majesty know..."

Chen Xi asked, "Eunuch Zhang dares to raise it before His Majesty?"

"dare!"

Zhang Yong gritted his teeth, "But the problem is that our family can't see Your Majesty now. If we can quell the rebellion and make meritorious contributions, and after returning to the capital, His Majesty will give him an extraordinary opportunity to pass the message to His Majesty, which is just worry..."

Chen Xidao: "Worried that Liu Jin is present, he will argue. With his clever tongue, it is difficult to hurt him at all... It is better to meet him in private, right?"

Zhang Yong thought for a while, nodded heavily, and said, "It seems that Lord Shen has also thought about this problem... It may not be difficult to meet Your Majesty. Even Your Majesty himself has doubts about Liu Jin, but some things... cannot hurt Liu Jin at all. Your Majesty is either ignorant of Liu Jin's personal pockets, or... Alas, our family has carefully considered this situation and felt it was difficult to succeed, so we didn't sway the tree."

Chen Xi observed carefully and found that Zhang Yong was really powerless.

The person who truly overthrew Liu Jin in history was Zhang Yong, and the Neiyuan was the most relaxed part of Liu Jin's control.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "Liu Jin is the leader of the internal officials. It is his greatest advantage to see him at any time. The officials in the court do not have the unique conditions he has, but eunuchs such as Zhang Yong are different. They are also very close to the king. The emperor's trust in them is not inferior to Liu Jin. It is just that there is a distinction between closeness and distantness because of his lack of ability."

Chen Xi nodded slightly: "As long as Eunuch Zhang is determined to defeat Liu Jin, there is still a chance... As far as I know, as the power grows, Liu Jin has developed a desire to rebel."

"ah!?"

Zhang Yong was really surprised when he heard this news.

Even if Zhang Yong thought about many ways to overthrow Liu Jin, it involved the problems handled by the emperor himself. As long as Liu Jin did not commit a sin that was unforgivable, Zhu Houzhao would pardon him. But if Liu Jin really had rebellious behavior, it would be like destruction.

Zhang Yong's eyes shone, but reason told him that this matter was unreliable. He immediately asked in confusion: "Mr. Shen, where did you know this news? Is there any evidence?"

Chen Xidao: "There are certainly evidences, but they are all in Liu Jin's hands. If the time is not right, they will probably be destroyed by Liu Jin, so..."

"So there is no way!"

Zhang Yong thought that Chen Xi was talking nonsense, and patted his forehead in annoyance, "Liu Jin was so afraid of Lord Shen. Even if Lord Shen had the opportunity to return to Beijing, it would be impossible to find out the evidence of the crime... This road would not work!"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "I dare to ask Eunuch Zhang, if Your Majesty knew that King Anhua was killing Liu Jin as the reason for the uprising of the army, and King Anhua's rebellion was quelled again, would Your Majesty kill Liu Jin?"

Zhang Yong did not answer immediately, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head regretfully: "It's hard!"

Chen Xidao: "If Liu Jin is not dead, how much chance will he have to rise again in the future?"

"this……"

Zhang Yong couldn't answer it anymore. After a long time, he frowned, "I'm afraid the wildfire cannot burn it all and the spring breeze will blew again. Lord Shen had designed to let Liu Jin be exiled to Xuanfu, and in the end he would return to the capital?"

Chen Xi nodded: "It seems that Eunuch Zhang has a thorough understanding of the harm to Liu Jin, so you should understand the trick. If you cannot find evidence of Liu Jin's rebellion, you might as well bear it, because the actual significance is not great!"

Zhang Yong opened his mouth, then he was dejected and looked even more upset.

As Chen Xi said, if he only attacked Liu Jin under the banner of King Anhua, perhaps Zhu Houzhao would summon Liu Jin to scold him and confiscate some things. The most severe thing was to take Liu Jin's position and live in vain. After waiting for a long time, Zhu Houzhao was disturbed by the court and would still use Liu Jin. At that time, Liu Jin would definitely retaliate.

If this matter was known to Liu Jin in advance, the problem would be even more serious, and no one could tell how many people would die.

Zhang Yong asked: "So Lord Shen is confident of finding evidence of Liu Jin's rebellion?"

Chen Xi nodded: "The evidence lies with Liu Jin. Perhaps in his mansion, all matters must be considered comprehensively. If Liu Jin is solely planning to rebel, Your Majesty may not accept it. But if you first use the matter of King Anhua to plot against rebel, let Your Majesty be suspicious of Liu Jin, and then follow the trend to reveal the matter of Liu Jin's planning to rebel..."

Zhang Yong showed a sudden look and said, "It's still Master Shen's brilliant."

Chen Xidao: "No one is better than anyone else. They just need to do things step by step. The root cause is still this war... Eunuch Zhang doesn't have to worry. As long as the imperial army arrives in Ningxia Town, they will win this battle. The rebels are simply a mob. How can they compete with the justice army of the court?"

Zhang Yong nodded: "This is true. With Lord Shen here, even if he is as strong as the Tatar cavalry, what will happen in the end? So... he should send troops first."

"Wait!"

Chenxi Road, "Military merit is secondary. If you make contributions but cannot eliminate Liu Jin, no matter how great your military merit is, it will be futile... If the first merit is my, Liu Jin's defense may be more serious."

Zhang Yong was shocked and looked incredible: "So... Lord Shen's battle is not to quell the rebellion, but to eliminate..."

"Um."

Chen Xi nodded, "So everything must be calm. It is best if the whole thing is carried out according to Liu Jin's plan. Only if this continues, will Liu Jin's defense towards you and me be reduced, and we will have a better chance to eradicate Liu Jin, right?"

...

...

There are many eunuchs in the palace who have the intention of eliminating Liu Jin, but most of them have no opinions when they go with the flow. There are not many people who have the ability and courage to go all out like Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong believed that his ability was no worse than Liu Jin. He just didn't serve Zhu Houzhao since he was a child like Liu Jin. Now Zhang Yong felt the threat from Liu Jin, so no matter how difficult it is to kill Liu Jin, it must be carried out.

Chen Xi secretly discussed with Zhang Yong the plan to eliminate Liu Jin.

Zhang Yong was very insightful, and his suggestions gave Chen Xi a lot of inspiration. After all, Liu Jin was quite well-connected in the court and had many supporters in the palace. He worked inside and outside, so he was more secure in doing things.

After the two agreed, Zhang Yong was not in a hurry to send troops.

According to Chen Xi, it is best to suppress the rebellion this time according to Liu Jin's plan. Yang Yiqing is the main force, and Chen Xi's troops are just serving as foils. After Zhang Yong understood Chen Xi's intention, he became indifferent to military merits.

Such military merits are not very meaningful. Instead, it is better to discuss with Chen Xi how to get rid of Liu Jin. This is the right way.

For two consecutive days, the city of Xuanfu was full of panic. Because the city gate was closed, there were many rumors in the market.

The two major military and political yamen in the Xuanfu were both worried about Chen Xi, and many generals even came to Chen Xi for a visit. The purpose of these people was to send troops early, but they were basically rejected. Even if someone was occasionally welcomed into the Governor's Mansion, they were left unwilling to leave after being hung up for a few hours.

It was June 11th, and the Tianchenxi obtained the latest situation in Ningxia Town. After the rebellion of Anhua King, Cao Xiong, the general of Guyuan, led his troops to the border and ordered Huang Zheng to enter Lingzhou with 3,000 troops, and asked the neighboring towns to fight against the rebellion. He also sent Lingzhou garrison Shi Yong and others to seize the Hexi ships and moored the east bank. At present, the imperial official army is confronting the rebels across the river.

As for Yang Yiqing, he had just left Zijing Pass for a few days and was still on the way to march.

Chenxi is still leisurely and has no trouble at all.

That night, as soon as Chen Xi returned to the inner house, he saw Hui Niang and Li Jin busy. It turned out that Chen Hong had a high fever and coughed continuously, and the two sisters were so busy.

Chen Hong was sick but did not hire a doctor. The main reason was that Hui Niang and Li Jin were embarrassed, and Chen Hong's origin was difficult to explain. The house in the Governor's Mansion was the most confidential place in the city. Even people around Chen Xi could not enter at will to prevent Hui Niang's identity from being leaked.

If a doctor is found, the doctor will likely spread the situation.

Fortunately, Hui Niang ran a pharmacy shop and knew a little medical skills. After Chen Xi came back, she felt more relieved. In Hui Niang's opinion, Chen Xi's medical skills were even more skillful.

Whether it is Hui Niang or Chen Xi's wife Xie Yuner, they are all doctors. Although their medical skills are just superficial, they are already very amazing in this era.

After Chen Xi checked, he found that it was just a normal wind and cold. Hui Niang had prescribed a side medicine and decocted it, so there was no problem.

"Master, I'm making you embarrassed..."

After taking care of Chen Hong, Hui Niang accompanied Chen Xi to the outer room with deep apology on her face.

Chen Xi said: "Why are you doing this? This is my son, of course I have to take it to heart. Why didn't I notify me earlier?"

"I don't want the master to bother."

Hui Niang explained, "After all, the master is about to send troops, but at this time..."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "I haven't told you about the military service when I came back these days. Where did you know?"

Hui Niang looked at Li Jin who was following behind and said no. Li Jin stuck out his tongue: "It's been rumored outside that it was Ningxia's Anhua King's rebellion, and his troops had already left Guanzhong and were about to arrive at Xuanfu soon... As the imperial court official, the soldiers in the northwest looked up to him, and said that the master was going to send troops..."

"It seems that there are many things that are spread among the people." Chen Xidao, "Don't worry, you won't send troops in the past few days. Even if you want to go out, you will take you with you."

Hui Niang frowned: "Master, don't laugh. Leading the army is a big deal. If I follow you, I'm afraid it will delay the master's business."

Chen Xi sat down and felt a little tired, not because of business or Chen Hong, but because he had some colds in recent times and had not been cured. He said patiently: "This time the troops are more symbolic. The victory or defeat of this war is not with me, but to suppress the rebels in the local area. Xuanfu Town has been thousands of miles from Ningxia Town. When I lead my troops to arrive, the battle will probably end long ago."

"So the master will not send troops?" Li Jin asked with a blink of an eye.

Chen Xi shook his head: "The soldiers still have to go out. Just go through the motions. I will feel at ease with you by my side... There is a saying that is not good, and it is not tiring for men and women to work together..."

"Puchi!"

Li Jin couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
