Chen Xi originally wanted to leave Nanhaizi and return to Beijing after performing artillery, but Emperor Hongzhi spoke. Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he had to stay in the yard for a night.

But the palace is not a place for officials after all. As a foreign minister, it is necessary to set up a camp and sleep in a tent at night.

This ghost weather is only four or five degrees during the day, and at night it must be zero or even a few degrees below zero. There are tents, but there are no blankets and bedding. It is strange that sleeping here for a night without freezing disease.

Chen Xi decided to fight for it: "Master Xie Ge, the student is feeling uncomfortable, can he go back to the city?"

Xie Qian said angrily: "Don't pretend to be sick here. Do you think I can't see that you are in good spirits? Your Majesty keeps you in the yard as a kindness to you. I don't know how grateful you are, and you still want to leave? Alas, even if the hunting matter has nothing to do with you, I have to give Your Majesty some face... Find a place to roast the fire, the weather is a bit cold..."

Chen Xi thought to himself, since you know it’s cold, why do you have to stay here for the night?

Do you feel comfortable only if you make others feel as uneasy as you?

Thinking that after I went back, my wife and children were on the warm bed, and when I stayed here, I was alone and shivering with the cold wind, Chen Xi didn't want to talk nonsense to Xie Qian... At worst, I wouldn't sleep all night and have a good sleep when I went home tomorrow. Anyway, I didn't let me go back to the East Palace to be a lecturer. I'm living a very free and comfortable life for the time being.

Xie Qian saw that Chen Xi was resistant and smiled and said, "You boy, I was deliberately asking you a problem, right? Tell me the truth. Don't you want to meet the envoy of Folangji tomorrow? Although you don't need to do anything, Folangji people are not in good intentions. Fu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Li Shaoqing, Honglu Temple of Huitongguan, both reported to praise your performance when you met with the envoy of Folangji. Your Majesty left you mainly to prevent it. If you need to take action, you can take it... Of course, this is also a recognition of your ability!"

Chen Xi then realized what was going on. It turned out that Fu Han and Li Li praised him.

Li Jue has a good relationship with Chen Xi recently, and it is easy to understand how to speak for him, but Chen Xi doesn't quite understand Fu Han's mentality. Fu Han's belly is not small, it doesn't matter whether he framed Cheng Minzheng. At least he was generous and did not resent about him as a young man because he stole the limelight in the Huitong Hall. Instead, he took the initiative to share the credit.

But Chen Xi immediately thought again, even if I am a young boy, no matter how stingy he is, he will not be too petty about me.

Xie Qian continued to entertain civil and military ministers on behalf of the emperor, and at the same time directed the camp to ensure that everyone had a tent, so that all civil and military generals could integrate into the cheerful atmosphere of this hunt. Military generals could hunt as much as possible, while civil and civil officials could sit down leisurely, taste tea and chat, and then wait to enjoy a sumptuous barbecue meal.

As for the envoys of Urianha, they entered the palace with Fu Han, the Minister of Rites, and others... There will be a small-scale negotiation in the palace.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Xi.

Chen Xi and his men had just packed up the Folang machine cannon, and Ma Wensheng walked over surrounded by several guards and asked, "Are you going back now? Do you want me to find someone to see you off?"

Zhang Laowu nodded and bowed: "Sir Xie Shangshu."

Chen Xi was sitting on a stone and gnawing onions pancakes that Lin Dai had baked early in the morning. When he saw Ma Wensheng coming, he quickly put them away and said, "Xiege's head asked the officials to stay for the time being, and I'm afraid they can't go back to the city together."

Ma Wensheng thought about it and shook his head helplessly. He probably thought that Chen Xi presented the drawings to Xie Qian but was used by Xie Qian as his work to seek credit from the emperor. He had a good relationship with Xie Qian and did not think that Xie Qian was malicious in this matter. It was just that Chen Xi, a young boy, was a little wronged.

"Then you stay here. At the bonfire banquet in the evening, you can take your seat at the Ministry of War." Ma Wensheng greeted warmly.

"Thank you, Shangshu Ma."

Chen Xi gave him a gift and saw him off. When Ma Wensheng left, everyone around him congratulated Chen Xi.

Chen Xi first praised Emperor Hongzhi in front of civil and military officials and foreign envoys, and then was appreciated by the Grand Secretary of the Dongge and Minister of War. In their opinion, this is a promising figure. If you can come out with such a person, you should be more comfortable. If you can do things under Shen Xi in the future, you might be very up-to-earth.

Chen Xi had eaten onion pancakes and drank a few sips of hot water. He felt much more comfortable in his stomach. He was about to send Zhang Laowu and others out of the yard, but Jiang Liwei and several Jinyiwei walked over quickly.

"Chen Yude has been so powerful recently."

Jiang Liwei's tone was neither yin nor yang, and his expression was a bit ridiculous.

Chen Xi looked at Jiang Liwei and said with a smile: "Isn't it true that Jiang Zhenfu?"

Jiang Liwei sneered, as if saying, "I deserve to be majestic, you don't have this qualification." But some words are hard to say. Now Chen Xi is a popular person in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi and some important officials. Even Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng are very fond of Chen Xi and may promote Chen Xi at any time.

When confronting each other, you have to pay attention to the time and occasion in addition to distinguishing people.

Jiang Liwei said: "I asked you to help investigate the case before, but you intentionally leaked the news to the criminals, so that the case was in vain... If Lord Liu had not protected you, I would have taken you to the Beizhen Fushiyaya Office and tortured them to see how much interests you have behind you."

Chen Xi spread his hands as if he was talking, and he would accompany him to the end.

Even if the factory guards want to investigate the case, the officials in the court must have a handwritten order before they can act. As the right edict of the Zhanshi Mansion, Chen Xi was a fifth-rank Hanlin official, not Jiang Li was imprisoned if he wanted to be imprisoned.

Chen Xi deliberately pretended to be confused and said, "I don't know which case is Jiang Zhenfu referring to? If it is about Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce's incorporation of grain for the Ministry of Revenue, the facts have proved that it is false. If it is another one, it may be that Jiang Zhenfu misunderstandings. The case involves the uncle, but it is not something that can be controlled by him... Oh, by the way, Jiang Zhenfu came here this time to say goodbye to the next time?"

Jiang Liwei smiled coldly: "I guess Chen Yude has heard of the changes in the palace?"

Chen Xi had long guessed that Jiang Liwei came over because she wanted to make a fuss about Queen Zhang's poisoning case.

At present, the people of the factory guards cannot have the intention to investigate other cases. The top priority of the court and the royal family is to investigate who poisoned the royal family one after another. Not only did they poison a princess, but they almost killed the prince and the queen. In addition, the death of another prince may not be related to this.

Chen Xidao: "Although I am a lecturer in the East Palace, I have been responsible for many responsibilities recently. I haven't been to the East Palace for a long time and I don't know about the palace."

Jiang Liwei smiled disdainfully: "Chen Yude is really good at pretending to be confused because he understands it. The prince was infected last year and the queen's illness this year are all cured by the dog skin plaster you presented. I heard that your wife also went to the palace to check on the queen's condition. Can you say you don't know?"

Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "I offered plaster and Neizi went to the palace to diagnose the queen. Does this have anything to do with whether I know of any changes in the palace?"

Jiang Liwei couldn't help but get furious, and Chen Xi still beat him up.

Now, anyone in the palace who has contact with the queen and the prince has basically filtered it, but the culprit behind the scenes has not been found. The clues of the case are about to be broken. The biggest suspicion now lies with the couple Shen Xi and Xie Yuner.

Why can Chen Xi and Xie Yuner be cured by the disease?

However, Emperor Hongzhi ordered that Chen Xi and his wife could not be interrogated, because in this matter, Chen Xi was not a criminal minister, but a country that had made contributions to the Ming Dynasty... He treated those who had made contributions as criminals for interrogation. If there was any difficulty in the royal family in the future, no one would stand up.

In a word, protecting Chen Xi and his wife is not to maintain fairness and justice!

Jiang Liwei said: "Chen Yude thinks it doesn't matter whether it has anything to do, but I'll tell Chen Yude that it has been found out that this case is related to the people in the south. You'd better be careful and don't let me find out that you are involved in this case. You will feel better at that time!"

shit!

The clues were cut off, and I was still intimidating here, thinking that I was really a three-year-old child, and I didn’t understand the truth?

If you really track down the people in the south, you won’t tell me. It’s obviously a lie and a deceitful person to see my reaction. If you look back, you may find someone to follow me and stare at me like a prisoner.

Jiang Liwei, Jiang Liwei, you treat me as your old enemy, why do you have to complain about me in everything?

At first, I didn't treat you as an enemy!

Chen Xi ignored Jiang Liwei's intimidation. Those who were cleared will be cleared. When it comes to the royal family, many things are muddy water, so he doesn't need to go there.

Just as Shen Xi saw Zhang Laowu and others away, he was about to find a tent to rest for a while, and wait for the night to fall, a carriage drove over from the Dahongmen. Waiting for the carriage to stop in front of the palace under the escort of the guards, two people got out of the carriage. One was Gaoming City, which Chen Xi had not seen for several years and is now the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the other was Wang Shouren, who was about to go to Beiguan with him and Gaoming City to pacify the three armies.

"Why are they walking together?"

Chen Xi looked at it from a distance and felt a little strange, but when he saw them walking straight into the palace, it seemed that they were coming at the emperor's order. After all, neither Gaoming City nor Wang Shouren needed to participate in this hunt today.

Could it be that the situation in Beiguan is urgent and the emperor wants to send someone to pacify the three sides immediately before calling Gaomingcheng and Wang Shouren?

Since three people are going, why not call me in together?

"Shen Hanlin, it's been a long time since."

Chen Xi was looking towards the direction of the palace gate, and there was a sound of greeting from behind. He quickly turned around and saw Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling standing there with a smile.

Chen Xi bowed and bowed: "I didn't know that Jianchang Bo has arrived, and I missed the opportunity to welcome him."

The smile on Zhang Yanling's face seemed a bit mysterious, and she waved her hand and said, "I came here to find you something... You are about to go to the border with Minister Gao of the Ministry of Revenue to caress the side. Now Minister Gao is Man of Man, and I want to explain some things to you."

Chen Xi thought to himself, this is really direct. I am afraid that no one in the world dares to say the matter of the clique so explicitly. Are you not afraid that I will go to the emperor to sue you, saying that it is to win over the officials of the court, and that it is a ill-intentioned one?

Chen Xi deliberately pretended to be confused: "The officials have not heard of this."

"That's strange. Mr. Gao clearly said that he had sent his grandson to notify you. Oh, maybe it wasn't time to notify you, but now I'm here to inform you. Just now, Mr. Gao and the King of War entered the palace together. They were sent by His Majesty. They would be escorted to Beiguan in a few days. You may have to wait a few days later. You have to wait until the batch of Folang cannons that had been cast before were completed."

Without Zhang Yanling's statement, Chen Xi didn't know that he and Gaomingcheng were separated, and Wang Shouren left.

Perhaps the Zhang brothers were afraid that he would interfere with Gaoming City's money and food to greed for the soldiers, so they deliberately advised the emperor to make him one step late.

"Thank you, Jianchangbo, for your reminder." Chen Xi bowed and thanked him.

Zhang Yanling showed a sinister smile on his face, and looked at Chen Xi with a cold look, saying, "No need to thank you, some words are inconvenient to say here. After returning, I will go to your mansion in person. I will explain it carefully at that time, hehe..."
