Chapter 696 Forced to the door

Zhu Youzhang's expression frightened. Only then did he realize that Chen Xi was not only a lecturer in the Eastern Palace, but also a hero who made "third-class merits" in combat against the Tatars at the border. If he was sent to the grassland, there would be trouble.

"Then let's change the person and let Wang Shouren go." Emperor Hongzhi made the final decision.

Among the new Jinshi, the emperor has remembered Chen Xi and Wang Shouren, who are also the two most praised by the court officials.

As for Lun Wenxu, Feng Xi and others, although they are very good at writing, they have never had the opportunity to perform. They can only be considered as a proper person in their jobs.

Wang Shouren was stranded in Datong Town and did not return to Beijing. In addition to being convenient, he also sent him to serve as an envoy, but also allowed Wang Shouren, who had good military talents to go deep into the grassland to check the actual situation of the Tatars, so as to make some small moves in the dark.

On the surface, Chen Xi gave up a good opportunity to make achievements, but from the actual effect, Chen Xi's choice was not wrong. Now he is already very swaggering in the Ming Dynasty officialdom and has aroused a lot of unnecessary jealousy. He must find ways to suppress his edge.

Moreover, the future of going to the grassland is uncertain, especially when his hands are stained with Tatar blood, he has to prevent the other party from luring him out and causing harm.

After the matter was discussed, Zhu Youzhang was finally ready to end the court. Just as he was about to wave his hand, Min Gui suddenly mentioned: "Your Majesty, the case of Gaomingcheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has been completed, and all the people involved in the case have made due punishment. Please tell me."

Thinking of Gaoming City, Zhu Youzhang couldn't help but sigh and said, "The food and grass loss is not the fault of the Gaoqing family, but the disaster of the Tatars coming and going freely through the holes in the border. Think about it, I have also had a fault. If I take my anger out of this, it is inappropriate. I have ordered the pardon of his crimes before, and the case will be settled here!"

The emperor said he wanted it, but no one dared to say anything. After all, Gaoming City can be regarded as "sacrificing his life for the country."

After Zhu Youzhang finished speaking, he asked casually: "Who else in the Gao family?"

Min Gui replied: "There is only Sun in the foot of Mr. Gao. He was originally a prison student, but now he is deprived of his shade."

"It's really pitiful. I have been loyal to the country for decades, but in the end I only left one clan member." Zhu Youzhang regarded Gaoming City as a hero of the Ming Dynasty, but forgot that the case was mainly based on the embezzlement and bribery in Gaoming City. "Let's do this, the ancestral property will be returned. As for the special and retention of the supervisor, I will stay in the yamen as a minor official after I graduate."

Emperor Hongzhi did not mention the posthumous gift of a book or posthumous title to Gaoming City, because Zhu Youzhang himself knew that Gaoming City was not very glorious and that you were not escorting food and grass, and your crime was forgiven for Liu Daxia's victory. As for posthumous title to you, it was impossible, after all, you were not dead.

However, Gaoming City itself still has corruption, for example, many problems were found in this investigation. In the mind of Emperor Hongzhi, this matter could only be a big deal because Gaoming City greed for money, and most of the money it received in the royal pocket in the end. If it was "recovering the stolen goods", the court would have to be in chaos.

Zhu Youzhang "relaxed the law" to Gaoming City, and had already released Gao Chong from prison and returned his wives and concubines.

Now he is preparing to return the identity of the prison student and even pave the way for him. After graduation, he can become an official in the court. If the boss behind Gaoming City takes care of Gao Chong, Gao Chong may be able to be a magistrate and climb up little by little. When he is old, he may become a magistrate like his grandfather.

Min Kyu was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, Mr. Gao's mansion has now been given to others."

"Oh? I remembered that it was given to Chen Yude, right?" Zhu Youzhang felt a little regretful at this time and sighed quietly, "Forget it, I will give it to you. I will find another house for the descendants of the Gao family. As for daily supply, it will be given as the salary of the seventh-rank official, so let's stop here!"

Min Kyu was secretly shocked when she heard this.

The people in Gaoming City were all dead, and the emperor still remembered his goodness. Gaoming City's grandson is now just a prison student, so he is supported by his salary from the seventh rank. That means that in the future, Gao Chong graduated from the Imperial College, and the Ministry of Personnel must arrange at least a seventh rank official position. Moreover, this is the sixth rank official, and he will be placed in the sixth rank or the sixth rank, which is higher than the magistrate.

After the meeting ended, a group of ministers came out of the Ganqing Palace, and Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian talked about the matter about Gaoming City.

"It is an indisputable fact that this dead person has made merit, but it is an indisputable fact that the living person is treated with kindness!" Xie Qian sighed, "That person is dead."

Ma Wensheng knows what Xie Qian means. You, the people in Gaoming City, are dead, but the emperor still remembers you. You can comfort your life if you know you in the spring.

Ma Wensheng asked, "What do you think about Chen Xi, Yu Qiao?"

"That boy Chenxi!? Humph, he killed so many Tatars, and he was afraid of going to the grassland. You didn't see his insane appearance." Xie Qian was a little proud, "Now I asked him to teach his son's studies at home, and it would be a waste of my protection in front of His Majesty."

Ma Wensheng smiled and said, "Yu Qiao, are you thinking about it?"

"I'm just asking him to teach the dog's studies, not let him enter the house." Xie Qian replied angrily.

"Well Yu Qiao thought, what do I mean?"

In one sentence, Xie Qian was a little embarrassed to come to Taiwan. Ma Wensheng clearly stated the matter between Chen Xi and Xie Hengnu, but he could only pretend not to know.

Chen Xi didn't know that he was finally replaced by Wang Shouren at the critical moment. At this moment, he was worried that Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng would not help him, and he felt up and down.

After coming out of Li Jin's residence, Chen Xi was in a heavy mood and walked home all the way. As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, he saw a large number of people gathering in the streets and alleys, as if someone was causing trouble. And the place with the densest crowd seemed to be in front of his home.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "This is the enemy coming to me! I am a Hanlin official at least, and there are several government offices nearby. Is there anyone who is not afraid of death?"

However, Chen Xi could not determine whether his colleagues came to give him a housewarming gift, so he could only bite the bullet and push the crowd away and enter the circle. He saw a few burly men wearing robes, vests, leather hats and boots standing next to the flower bed in front of the Shen Mansion, like a door god. There was also a "big man" next to him, but this "big man" was not too rough and seemed a bit weak.

Chen Xi felt familiar. After a closer look, he found that it was the Tatar Huo Ling who had met with Yi Sima, a national teacher from Dayan tribe, who had been to the palace and met him.

He doesn't know what the identity of Huo Ling is, but before he was able to be the deputy envoy for the National Master of the Dayan tribe, I think he has a certain identity in the Dayan tribe.

Chen Xi once suspected that Huo Ling seemed to be a woman, but she looked really unsatisfactory.

The same martial arts value is over, the silly sister Zhu Shan has a good appearance, she looks stupid and cute, and sometimes she is quite cute when she thinks about it. However, this person is completely violent and wisdom coexist. Unfortunately, she is destined to be Dongshi, who has no appearance at all, Wu Yan.

"Let's come to find him!" Huo Ling's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Xi and she shouted loudly.

The Tatars visited Shenfu this time, accompanied by officials from Shuntian Prefecture and Honglu Temple. A few people used a large number of yamen runners from Shuntian Prefecture and officers and soldiers from the Five City Military and Masjids, for fear that these "barbarians" would "kill" in the capital.

Chen Xi said coldly: "I am the official of the imperial court. What are you looking for me?"

Huo Ling's Chinese language was very fluent. She looked at Chen Xi for a while, and then asked, "Our descendants of Canglang and Bailu, I want to invite you to the grassland as a guest, why don't you go?"

This was too simple and made Chen Xi unable to withstand it for a moment. The news that the Tatars asked him to take the mission was only circulated among the middle and high-level officials of the court. Even he, the person involved, only knew from his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy that this was the case, but as for who the emperor wanted, even those well-informed people in the Hanlin Academy did not know.

Now Huo Ling tells the matter directly in front of the onlookers, which is equivalent to exposing the secrets of the court.

"What's going on?"

Chen Xi pointed at Huoling and looked at the person in Shuntian Mansion beside him.

Shuntian Prefecture is only responsible for an experience from the seventh rank. He looked at Chen Xi nervously and explained: "Mr. Shen, it's not that the officials are not responsible. It's because the imperial court has orders, so we must not make things difficult for these envoys. They said they wanted to walk around the capital, and the officials can only accompany them. Who knows them?"

Chen Xi probably understood what was going on. Needless to say, Huo Ling and others came to cause trouble for him.

Chen Xidao: "Who is sent by the imperial court to the grassland? This official cannot decide. Brother, please go back!"

"Who is Brother Tai? This is our most noble envoy, Lord Huo Ling!" Some of the Tatars made a correction.

Chen Xi thought to himself that a woman who brought someone on a mission not only knew Chinese, but also had a few followers who were proficient in Chinese. On the grassland where the strong prey on the weak, this woman was an anomaly.

"We people from the grassland, why do you want to see how powerful you are? Don't dare to go to the appointment?" Huo Ling raised her sword with the hilt, and asked with wide eyes.

This action immediately scared the people watching the fun. The crowd rushed back and retreated. When the yamen runners of Shuntian Prefecture and the officers and soldiers of the Wucheng Military Police saw that the situation was not good, they all picked up the guys.

It is one thing that the court does not allow the crime of foreign envoys, but now these "barbarians" are going to be rude and want to threaten the lives of the fifth-rank Hanlin officials, so they cannot ignore it.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to hand over the knife to him and let him experience how sharp the sword on our grassland is!" Huo Ling glared at Chen Xi, and then explained to the officials of Shuntian Prefecture and Honglu Temple.

Chen Xi shook his head: "As a wise minister, I cannot accept the things from the foreign vassals. If you really want to give them, please pass them through the court."

"Who wants to give you a gift? I asked you to take a knife and go to the grassland to compete with our brave warriors!" Huo Ling said angrily.

She handed over the knife, but Chen Xi actually refused in person, looking down on others too much!

Chen Xi thought to himself: "Isn't you trying to recruit the prince-consort of the Golden Sword? It's a pity that you are not Hua Zheng, and I am not Guo Jing. I don't want to give it to me for free! I also want me to go to the grassland with you, and it's better to kill me!"

Chen Xi was righteous and righteous: "I am a civil servant of the Ming Dynasty. I have been familiar with the scriptures since I was a child and have a lot of strategies. Why do I have to compete with you barbarians for martial arts? Have you ever heard of Zhuge Liang and Meng Huo for martial arts? Who won the final victory? No matter when, your brain is more important than brute force!"

"You coward, you have brought back the lives of countless men on the grassland!" Huo Ling pulled out the knife with a "swish" sound, inserted it directly to the ground, and shouted at Chen Xi.

Only then did Chen Xi realize that Huo Ling handed him the knife, but she didn't mean to express her admiration at all, but wanted him to be unable to stand the agitation method, and he was passionate and took the initiative to go to the grassland to "send his death"!
