Chen Xi has just returned to Beijing, and Xie Qian is going to have another problem.

What we have to resist is the 50,000 Tatar cavalry from the fire screen. This is not a small fight. The Mongols are brave and good at fighting on horseback. It would be fine if there were 3,500 cavalrymen. Even if there were 50,000 people, they could deal with it. If there were 50,000 people at once, they might still have a chance of winning in the face of the head-on battle, but they would run away if they fought flexibly. Even the Minister of War Ma Wensheng did not have any good countermeasures.

When the emperor thought, did you, Xie Qian, have entered the good strategy to defend the enemy before? Now that others can’t do it, I will count on you.

Xie Qian was with the emperor's expectations and carefully looked at Chen Xi for two days, but he had no idea. Fortunately, Chen Xi came back at this time, so Xie Qian pushed this problem to Chen Xi.

But Chen Xi had no particularly good idea about this, because he was very clear about the defense situation of the border between Daming and the fire screen was coming with great force, with a clear purpose of robbery. Perhaps this side had prepared a good plan to meet the enemy, but then ran away after the robbery. The army went over and couldn't even see the other side's horse hooves.

Relying on two legs to chase four legs?

However, due to the disparity in status, Chen Xi had to take Xie Qian's job, so he simply had two days off before he returned to Zhan Shi Mansion to work. In the past two days, even if he tried every possible way, he would give Xie Qian a countermeasure that he could barely fool him.

In fact, Emperor Hongzhi did not expect Xie Qian, a civil servant, to make a big splash in military affairs. As long as this countermeasure is relatively good at Zhou Zheng, he will be able to handle his job.

Chen Xi was in a state of dust at this moment, and he needed to settle down at home and had to take care of Zhang Laowu and others. When he returned home, he saw that Xie Yuner and Lin Dai had already cleaned up their rooms. When they were having dinner at night, the two wives looked at him eagerly. The obvious question now was that where to spend the night at night, he needed to make a proper explanation.

"My husband should accompany Dai'er. She just entered the door and was more attached to her husband."

Xie Yuner showed her style as a big wife at this time and took the initiative to give her humility, but she said this a little against her will. She went north from Nanjing to rush to the road, and basically had no time to love Chen Xi. Now she rarely returns to her own place in the capital, but she wants to push her husband to others, and she feels uncomfortable.

Chen Xi nodded and said, "That's it, I'll accompany you tomorrow."

"Um."

Xie Yuner felt a little disappointed when she saw Chen Xi agreeing so happily.

In my husband’s mind, Dai’er is more important!

Xie Yuner, who has always been broad-minded, can't help but think about emotional issues. She knew that she would be alone tonight... She tasted the unforgettable taste when she was in Tingzhou Prefecture. A woman who tasted the joy of fish and water was obviously with her husband around her, but she had to endure it. What's more, Xie Yuner is no longer a teenager and cannot always deal with some things calmly.

At night, Xie Yuner really suffered from insomnia.

She reminded herself over and over again: "I just returned to the capital, so I should have a rest and don't always think about it. I was robbing Dai'er's wife of the position, so I should compensate her more."

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, so she simply started to light a candle and read medical books. She wanted to calm her mind, but she always couldn't get into the books.

After all, Chen Xi was still "concerned and considerate". Just when Xie Yuner wanted to go out and have a quiet breath, she suddenly heard a subtle sound of footsteps. If nothing unexpected happened, Chen Xi should have come here. Xie Yuner happily greeted the door. After seeing Chen Xi, she felt a little embarrassed: "Why are you here?"

Chen Xi didn't say anything more. What he wanted to be a domineering man now, and he wanted to let Xie Yuner know who the head of this family was.

When he got to bed, Chen Xi said a little, "For your husband, I will coax Dai'er to bed first."

"Then my husband should have more rest..."

Xie Yuner originally wanted to say that it would be great if her husband could come here to have this kind of heart, but unfortunately she could no longer say the rest.

It took a long time to get the candle tears, but Chen Xi got off the bed. Because it was midsummer, he just casually put on a shirt, tied his clothes and took it to the table, and used the candle tears to fill the tilted side of the candle. The candlelight immediately became dim. After sitting down, he put the four treasures of the study and started writing at his desk.

"My husband is tired and still busy with business?" Xie Yuner stood up and leaned against the head of the bed, and asked Chen Xi with a smile. She liked to see Chen Xi's back when she was doing things seriously.

"Um."

Chen Xi replied, but couldn't help but yawn, "There are Tatars invading the border in the Northern Pass. Grand Secretary Xie asked me to write a countermeasure for him. I am just a civil servant, not a military general. I can only write down what I think of in my mind and treat it as a matter of official business."

Hearing Chen Xi say things so simply, Xie Yuner smiled and said with pride: "Your Majesty is a great work for you. You have made such a great contribution in Quanzhou. I think Your Majesty wants to be promoted to you."

Chen Xi sighed: "It would be great if I don't demote my position..."

Chen Xi was busy until midnight when she came back. Xie Yun'er kept accompanying him. Chen Xi wanted to moisten the pen and grind the ink, so she did it for her to add fragrance to the red sleeves. The couple enjoyed this silent tenderness.

It took Chen Xi two hours to write down his military affairs. After all, he did not delay the matter for a long time when it involved the peace of the border, the welfare of the people in the capital and the people in Shanxi.

However, Xie Yuner, because of the fatigue of travel and the lingering relationship with Chen Xi before, and the strong sense of happiness of being with her, she unknowingly lay on the table and fell asleep. It was not until Chen Xi pushed her that she became confused and helped her to sleep on the bed.

After lying down, Xie Yuner's hair was a little messy, and her sleeping face did not appear peaceful and peaceful, but instead had a somewhat silly attitude, which was completely different from the lady she usually maintained.

Chen Xi couldn't help but smile. He didn't know how embarrassed Xie Yuner was in the past. Perhaps only after becoming a couple can she understand each other as she is now.

...

...

The next day, Chen Xi went to the cabinet very early and handed over his military affairs to Xie Qian.

After Xie Qian got it, he read it briefly, and his face was a little confused... It was hard for him to imagine that Chen Xi actually wrote a long speech of two or three thousand words in one night. He couldn't help but think that this kid would just fool things up. I want me to think that if there are too many words, it will definitely work?

Xie Qian said angrily: "Your Majesty is anxious to ask, how can I finish the whole process if you have listed so many clauses?"

Chen Xi then realized that Xie Qian was preparing to digest his military affairs policy and briefly summarize it before offering advice to Emperor Hongzhi. Chen Xi hurriedly said, "Does Xie Ge Lao need students to explain in detail?"

Xie Qian glared at Chen Xi angrily. He was busy with business and didn't have much time, but he wanted Chen Xi to explain it to him, where did he put his old face?

"No need, I'll just look at it myself. You go back first. If there is any news, I will send someone to your mansion to inform you." Xie Qian said, casually putting Chen Xi's military affairs Ce into his arms, as if he was disdainful. But when Chen Xi turned around and took a step, he glanced back and quickly took Ce Wen out, and read and understood the contents carefully while walking.

For a person like Xie Qian who is almost military-blind, it is really difficult for him to digest Chen Xi's military policy.

Perhaps in the articles and votes of sages, Xie Qian is not a little bit higher than Chenxi, but in the case of miscellaneous matters, Xie Qian's attainments are far less than Chenxi in the era of information explosion. These miscellaneous matters are precisely where Xie Qian can use Chenxi. If he doesn't understand, he can leave it to Chenxi to do it, and he feels satisfactory.

Chen Xi just handed over the military affairs policy to Xie Qian in the morning, and in the afternoon, the official certificate from the Ministry of Personnel gave him the promotion.

What made Chen Xi overjoyed was that after his trip to Quanzhou, he finally received the reward he deserved. He was promoted from the original sixth-rank Zhan Shifu Youchunfang Youyu De to the fifth-rank Youchunfang Youyude, and was still a editor of the Hanlin Academy and a lecturer in the East Palace.

He was promoted twice a year, from the sixth rank to the fifth rank. Chen Xi's promotion speed was quite fast. After all, it took him more than ten years to be promoted in the capital yamen or in the Hanlin system, which was known for its difficulty in promotion. Wang Hua, who was also the top scholar of the Ming Dynasty, was promoted from a Hanlin composer to Youyude.

Because there was only one person in Youchunfang Youyude, Chen Xi knew that his promotion meant that Wang Hua was also promoted. While he was going to the Ministry of Personnel to hand over the handover, Chen Xi asked by the way and learned that Wang Hua had been promoted to Youchunfang Youxiaozi and the Hanlin Academy because of his identity as a lecturer in Japan and a lecturer in the East Palace, and was a member of the fifth rank of Chen Xi.

This promotion to Chen Xi is not a separate incident, but is considered a small promotion for Hanlin officials. In addition to him and Wang Hua, many officials in the Hanlin system have changed their positions and ranks, mainly slightly promoted. However, except for him, they all have three or eight years of examinations and evaluations in the Hanlin official position. There are only one person like him who has two promotions a year.

Wang Yang, the immediate superior who had always been concerned about Chen Xi, was transferred from the position of the first young minister of the Zhanshi Mansion and promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but he resigned as a lecturer of the Eastern Palace and was still a lecturer of the Japanese.

This means that when Chen Xi teaches the prince in the East Palace in the future, he no longer has to be asked by Wang Liu to be given a call. Apart from Wang Liu, other lecturers in the East Palace did not have such a big opinion on him.

Chen Xi took herself back home from the fifth-rank official uniform, Yin Xin and others, and dressed her under the service of Xie Yuner and Lin Dai. She stood in front of the mirror and felt a very glorious feeling.

Chen Xi didn't expect that he had grown up unconsciously. He was no longer the little guy who had only brains before, but he was like a man who stood up.

Xie Yuner said happily: "I said that Your Majesty will promote the master. Daier told the kitchen to prepare a table of good wine and food to celebrate the master's promotion tonight."

Unconsciously, Xie Yuner began to call Chen Xi "Master".

Lin Dai nodded and quickly informed Hong'er and Lu'er who were preparing to cook.

Because Chen Xi gave Ning'er to Xie Duo, no one responded to cooking before, Hui Niang and Zhou discussed and sent all the girls except Xiaoyu to go north with Chen Xi, so that Chen Xi could take care of Chen Xi's life in the capital.

In this way, Hong'er and Lu'er are responsible for daily work such as food, washing, sweeping the floor, etc. As for physical work, they are left to Xiu'er and Zhu Shan. If there is anything, Yun Bo and Tang Hu will help.

Chen Xi's mansion in the capital finally looked like a wealthy mansion.

As the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, Yun Bo was only in charge of the matter of purchasing goods. As for the financial power, it fell into Xie Yuner's hands.

In Zhou's words, my stupid kid will do major things in the court in the future. As for those fragmented housework, they will be handed over to Yun'er and Dai'er. If they can't do it well, don't let me recognize them as my wife!
