Chapter 2623 curtain call

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang have long since retired and become bystanders.

Xie Qian was under too much pressure in the court, and even during Liu Jin's dynasty, Xie Qian compromised and endured humiliation, and finally waited for the destruction of the eunuch party.

What Xie Qian has always adhered to is not friendly to many people, but in fact what Xie Qian maintained is just the court system and system. He did not form cliques for personal gain, nor did he embezzle and accept bribes. His ability was not as good as Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, but he chose to stick to it at the most dangerous time of the Ming Dynasty and went all the way to this day.

When Xie Qian got on the carriage, many people stopped for a long time and were unwilling to leave.

Xie Qian did not say goodbye to people. He knew that he would not get involved in political affairs again and did not need to leave any regrets.

Liang Chu and others kept sending Xie Qian's carriage to the intersection of Chang'an Street. Seeing Xie Qian go to Xie's mansion, tears flashed in their eyes.

"Liang Zhongtang, do you think it is necessary for us to go to Xie's mansion to give away Mr. Xie?" Zhang Zilin, the Minister of Justice, came over and asked.

Liang Chu withdrew his gaze and said, "Mr. Xie said, he doesn't need us to worry about it... To be worthy of him, it is important to do your job well. Dear ministers, Mr. Xie has a heavier burden on you as soon as he leaves. There are people who have pointed out the direction for us before, and you will rely more on yourself in the future."

In the past, Liang Chu said this kind of thing but now Liang Chu is the veritable chief minister and the legal successor of Xie Qian, who is qualified to say such things.

After everyone saluted, they dispersed, but Liang Chu did not rush to leave. He still looked reluctantly at the direction where Xie Qian's carriage passed away, his eyes were dull.

"Brother Shuhou, are we going back to the cabinet now?"

Jin Gui was by the side and asked.

For Jin Gui, Xie Qian's departure from the dynasty had a great impact, and the cabinet might undergo earth-shaking changes because he had learned that Yang Tinghe was determined to retire and return home.

Liang Chu turned his head and asked, "Chunsui, did you say I... have you done something wrong?"

"Um?"

Jin Gui didn't understand what Liang Chu meant for a moment.

Liang Chu shook his head and did not continue talking about this topic. He turned around and headed towards the left gate of Chang'an.

...

...

Shen Xi returned to the capital, and everything was the same.

However, he could not complete many things in person. This trip south made him exhausted both physically and mentally. It was difficult for him to take into account both the responsibilities of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War. He really wanted to let go of everything and be a noble person with a noble status but no matter what the important matters were.

The most important thing is that life suddenly loses passion.

After returning to the court, Shen Xi immediately wrote a memorial, just like his previous memorial in Jiangnan, he proposed to step down as Minister of War, and Wang Qiong, the governor of the Three Borders, took over.

As for the position of Minister of Personnel, he had to take on it. When he was in both positions, his clever approach was to give up positions with relatively lower status. Minister of Personnel was considered the highest-level civil servant outside the cabinet. Being an official can become Minister of Personnel, which is actually the end.

Because Zhang Yuan did not come back, and the cabinet chief just retired and Yang Tinghe retired, the court was in chaos and disorderly, the votes and Zhu criticism became slower, even worse than when Zhu Houzhao had not returned to the capital.

Liang Chucai was appointed as the chief minister, and many things seemed difficult. He didn't even dare to write a random vote on Shen Xi's memorial to resign from the Minister of War. Yang Tinghe's memorial to retire and return home during his illness made it even more difficult for him.

The last two memorials were written by Zhang Yong, the chief of the Sili Supervisor, and submitted to Zhu Houzhao.

"The old slave just suggests..." Zhang Yong emphasized.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "I know you're just suggesting, but the idea you came up with is very good. I didn't see that you still have talent in this area! Then this matter will be settled..."

"I will immediately send an order. I will give you a reply from Grand Secretary Yang who retires to the land. I will also give you good land and beautiful houses, and give you several slaves. Everything will be rewarded according to the half-standard standard of Master Xie. In addition, Chen Shangshu was the Grand Secretary of the Jingshen Hall, and the Minister of Personnel was brought into the cabinet..."

"Oh by the way, Mr. Chen's official position as the Minister of Personnel does not need to be given up. The Minister of War will be taken over by Wang Qiong, the general manager of the trilateral. I have appointed Wang Qiong as the Minister of War before, but later I went back on my word. This time I have completely decided!"

...

...

One stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves.

Before Xie Qian's resignation had caused a great storm in the court. Suddenly, Yang Tinghe also withdrew and still resigned. Now Chen Xi has resigned from the position of Minister of War and entered the cabinet, which means that Chen Xi is the four ranks of the cabinet, the Secretary of the Court, the nobleman, and the relative of the foreign country, and no one is better than the Ming Dynasty.

After the news was announced, the cabinet would naturally have the greatest impact.

The cabinet suddenly wanted to leave two people, and added Chen Xi, who only served on duty but did not do the job in real work, was equivalent to saying that there were only two people left in the cabinet to serve.

What’s so bad is that this person who was on duty actually has a very noble status in the court. Even if Liang Chu was the chief minister, he realized that there would be any major matters that were difficult to decide in the future and he had to discuss with Chen Xi. Then Chen Xi would be the chief minister as the last position in the cabinet.

"Can Uncle Hou suppress it? I'm afraid it won't work!"

Many people in the court have this idea.

After all, Liang Chu has only been the prime minister for two days, and his ability is not as good as Yang Tinghe, so he cannot compare with Xie Qian and Yang Tinghe in terms of courage, so his position as prime minister is already full of doubts.

As for Jin Gui, because of his shallow qualifications, he would not be thought to be able to suppress the river.

This led to a result, that after the matter was made public, everyone realized that Zhu Houzhao might have asked Xie Qian to retire and abandon Yang Tinghe at the same time, in order to prepare for Chen Xi to enter the cabinet to convene the court. All the previous things were explained reasonably, everything was manipulated by Shen Zhihou behind the scenes.

"Mr. Shen, congratulations."

Zhang Yong, who came to Chenxi Mansion to upload the order, smiled and looked forward to seeking credit.

After Chen Xi invited him to the study, Zhang Yong directly explained the whole story to Chen Xi, so that Chen Xi could know that the initiator was Zhang Yong [Zhenling Book Network.] himself.

Chen Xi seemed very cautious: "Even the subordinates of the Ministry of Personnel may not be able to do their jobs well. How can you think about entering the cabinet again? No, I will go to the palace immediately and explain it to Your Majesty."

Zhang Yong quickly dissuaded: "Mr. Shen doesn't have to go anymore. Your Majesty has made up his mind. Perhaps, in fact, Your Majesty has already made such a plan. Our family is just adding fuel to the fire."

"Besides, you don't want you to draft a ticket. Your Majesty said that you only need to check out the matters in the cabinet every few days. If there are any major issues that need to be discussed, for example, if the ticket is really not settled, you can express your opinions and leave the rest of the time to do things in the Ministry of Personnel."

"It's not in accordance with the rules." Chen Xidao.

Zhang Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty's decision is the biggest rule for this court affairs, otherwise what will this imperial edict be used for? This is why your Majesty favors you. In the future, you are in the cabinet and our family is in the civic ritual supervisor. If you have any questions, you can discuss them carefully. This is a great thing."

It seems that Zhang Yong is the most excited person for the whole thing.

Chenxi entered the pavilion, which was like paving the way for him to be promoted to the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal.

If Chen Xi has always been the Minister of the Six Ministers, even if Chen Xi is all assigned by him alone, he will not be able to form a docking relationship with him.

But if Chen Xi enters the cabinet, the situation will be different. Chen Xi must prepare for the future as the chief minister. He needs someone who is completely obedient and capable of doing business in the Sili Supervisor. Zhang Yong believes that he is the best choice.

Zhang Yongke didn't think Chen Xi would believe in Zhang Yuan who was busy and constantly in trouble.

Chen Xidao: "Gei Xie just stepped down... Alas, how should I explain to him?"

"Mr. Shen doesn't need to explain to anyone! Mr. Xie has retired and returned home, and Mr. Yang has left. Isn't it that Mr. Shen, you, and Mr. Liang and Mr. Jin, who work in the cabinet in the future? We are all acquaintances in the East Palace, so there are not so many things to pay attention to. I believe that Mr. Shen and those two cabinet masters will live in harmony... This is also a scene that Your Majesty hopes to see."

Zhang Yong tried his best to find good things to say, with the purpose of letting Chen Xi accept it.

Now it is no longer a question that Zhu Houzhao answers or not, but Chen Xi needs to agree, otherwise the matter will not be completely decided.

Chen Xi stood up: "I'm going to enter the palace later, Eunuch Zhang will lead the way forward."

"Mr. Shen, if you want to enter the palace... at most you can only receive the order and thank you. You must not do anything else... Your Majesty has been worried about this for a few days. You should also think about it carefully for the sake of the Lord Dragon Body, right? Lord Shen is an important minister of the loyal king-style and country. You cannot sing a rebellion with Your Majesty." Zhang Yong advised with great sincerity.

Chen Xi shook his head: "How to tell Your Majesty? Eunuch Zhang can listen at that time."

Zhang Yong said: "Or... Lord Shen, you might as well stop going. What can you say? Let's just pass it on to our family?"

At this moment, Zhang Yong almost blocked Shen Xi and sweared to stop him to the death.
