Tang Yin got married to Miss Xia in order to cheer for Mrs. Xia, and the wedding was simple.

But Miss Xia was just married for the first time, and Xia Kuan didn't want to make her younger sister wronged, so she needed to be thorough in etiquette. Tang Yin found a yard not far from the Xia family to use as a wedding room.

Of course, it was said to be a wedding room, but the bride would not move in at all on the day of the wedding. The bride would wear a red wedding dress and stay at the Xia family, taking care of her mother without taking off her clothes.

Ma Jiu got married and Chen Xi attended in person. This time Tang Yin got married, and Chen Xi was completely handed over to Zhu Qi and Zhu Hong. This was also the first thing Zhu Hong did for Chen Xi after he went to Guangzhou City from Tingzhou Prefecture, West Fujian. Zhu Qi had high expectations for his son and hoped that his son could follow Chen Xi to have a good future.

...

...

Capital, Forbidden City, Wenyuan Pavilion.

Including Xie Qian, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and senior officials from the six ministries and nine ministers, were all waiting to attend court.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were still ill. Li Dongyang would occasionally go to work in the cabinet, but he would work for two or three days and then ask for leave again. The emperor understood that Li Dongyang lost his son in his later years and did not leave behind his descendants. Physical diseases were easy to treat, and heart diseases were difficult to cure. The emperor specially approved Li Dongyang to continue recuperation.

The main reason is that there are not many things in the court now. Xie Qian and Liubu Hall officials are in good order, so Liu Jian and Li Dongyang don’t need to worry and work hard.

At this time, the court officials gathered together to talk about things.

As the only Grand Secretary of the Cabinet on duty, Xie Qian was the most trusted and valued by the emperor. He was the most prominent among the court officials waiting for court in Wenyuan Pavilion. Even old ministers like Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia had to avoid his edge.

However, at this moment, Xie Qian took a memorial from Guangdong and said something to Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia. Others wanted to come forward and listen, but the voices of the three of them were very small, and the Wenyuan Pavilion was a little noisy, so they didn't hear it very clearly.

"...It's causing trouble again. Guangdong Salt Course's Department used official salt transportation, but was seized. The Talk Course's Department was replaced from top to bottom. It's really a headache."

Xie Qian gave the memorial to Ma Wensheng. As the Minister of Personnel, Ma Wensheng later appointed a new official from the Salt Class Procuratorate Department, which required the Ministry of Personnel to decide.

Ma Wensheng had read the memorial, but had not yet been approved by Zhubi. This means that the memorial had not been submitted to the emperor, but was taken by Xie Qian to discuss with him, the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of War Liu Daxia. This was considered a traitor in the Ming Dynasty's service process.

Liu Daxia read the memorial and asked: "It turned out to be a case in which the new coastal military affairs of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces were investigated and investigated by Chenxi... Yu Qiao will submit the memorial to His Majesty after he is ready?"

Xie Qian said: "He helps the manager and not the relatives. This kid is already doing something wrong in Fujian. He has just arrived in Guangdong and is doing something wrong again. Guangdong Cheng announced that the Political Envoy and the Censorate Office jointly participated in the impeachment, saying that he did something wrong in the local area and sold salt to privately. This salt to attract the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. Isn't he disrupting our dynasty?"

Ma Wensheng smiled and comforted: "Don't be angry. It is common for the local governor and the three officials to be in conflict. If you attack each other, you need to verify it before you can make a correct decision. You must not make a conclusion... By the way, what did Yingtian Mansion say?"

The memorials from local Guangdong are usually sent to Nanjing first and then submitted to Nanjing for disposal before they are submitted to the capital.

Once local emergency matters are involved, the six ministries in Nanjing also have the authority to make decisions. It is like the salt department being taken down by the stolen money. Nanjing must make proper arrangements first to prevent the salt from a certain place from being sold for a year, resulting in large areas of salt shortage and changes in people. After all, the memorials from Fujian, Guangdong and other places must be submitted to the capital, and it will take more than two months to go back and forth. Local governments cannot expect timely approval from the capital.

Xie Qian said angrily: "Yingtian Mansion is also a nonsense. He actually approved the report from the governor's office and asked the boy to be responsible for selling salt and inducement."

Ma Wensheng nodded: "It really responded to Yu Qiao's previous worries."

Liu Daxia was puzzled. After Ma Wensheng explained, he learned that before Chen Xi had found Xie Qian to discuss the matter of salt transfer and military rations before leaving the capital.

By contacting the current Guangdong students, we can understand that the reason why Chen Xi served as a local salt course supervisor was actually to get the salt and raise military rations.

Xie Qian cursed: "This kid has always been stubborn and reckless. Guangdong local reports that the left governor was vacant because of his demise. Zhang Yuanying, the right governor in charge, and Lin Tingxuan, who is responsible for the supervision, are all mature and polite ministers. How can he be allowed to be arrogant in the local area? I guess some days in the future, I will participate in his notebook one by one!"

Xie Qian was very angry and felt a little sad about his inconvenience. However, Liu Daxia smiled and said, "Is Yu Qiao worried about Chen Xi?"

Xie Qian's face looked a little ugly. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly brought an eunuch into the hall, and all the ministers present calmed down. The person who came was not Zhu Youzhang, but an old eunuch in his sixties, but everyone had to salute him when they saw him, even Xie Qian, Ma Wensheng and others were no exception.

"Eunuch Xiao..."

Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng walked in front and greeted him respectfully. This was Xiao Jing, the eunuch in charge of the Dongchang, the imperial prison, etc., and the most important thing was that he had the right to review the memorials on behalf of the emperor.

Although Xiao Jing was extremely powerful, he was humble. In addition, Emperor Hongzhi was diligent and self-disciplined, the eunuchs were also cautious. Xiao Jing maintained enough respect for the ministers and said with a smile: "You are polite, you are ill today. Your Majesty is not going to work in the Qing Palace. What are you doing, or report to me, just tell me and report it to Your Majesty."

It is said that it was submitted to Your Majesty, but as the eunuch Xi Bingbi, he has the power to deal with it himself.

Usually, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet made a memorial to the bill, which was reviewed by the emperor. When reviewing, he asked the eunuch of the Silijian what he thought about this, and then the emperor decided. However, if the emperor felt that the matter was not important, he could directly ask the Silijian to review it himself and then submit it to the six ministries. Xiao Jing could directly submit it to the emperor based on the bill.

During the Hongzhi period, the power of the cabinet's grand sect became increasingly greater, but because the emperor was diligent and self-disciplined, he would personally review the memorials most of the time. In addition, the Silijian and others were all humble and gentle. The iron triangle of Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian also had the absolute trust of Emperor Hongzhi, so there was never any trouble.

But now Liu Jian and Li Dongyang are not sick, and Xie Qian is the only one left in the cabinet to support him. Although Emperor Hongzhi trusts Xie Qianyu, when the emperor is an emperor, he would rather hand over the power to his slaves around him than to entrust them all to foreign ministers. Therefore, when the emperor is sick and does not attend court, the cabinet will transfer the memorial to the Lijian, and the eunuch Bingbi will instead of criticizing the red, and then stamp the seal by the eunuch in charge, and then the six divisions will be placed.

What does Xie Qianbian write is not important, it depends entirely on how Xiao Jing approves it.

If Xiao Jing respects Xie Qian, he can adopt Xie Qian's proposal. If he is sincerely opposed or has other ideas, Xiao Jing's red comments shall prevail.

Everyone wrote the matter they wanted to report into a memorial book and handed it over to Xiao Jing. The six ministries and local memorials submitted by the cabinet were also put into wooden boxes and handed over to the eunuchs of the followers.

Xie Qian finally took out the memorial to impeach Chen Xi from his arms and handed it to Xiao Jing: "Eunuch Xiao, I don't know if there are some things that I can say while walking..."

The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Eunuch of the Lijian Priest were not allowed to join in discussing matters.

The cabinet represents the civil servant group of the court, a legitimate minister of the emperor, while the eunuchs are a service group responsible for the emperor's food, daily life and other life affairs. They belong to the emperor's slaves. The eunuch in charge of the seal and eunuchs in the Sili Supervisor and the eunuch in Bingbi are the top eunuchs, and can be said to be the most respected by the emperor. Now Zhu Youzhang asked Xiao Jing to criticize him on behalf of him because the emperor did not trust the external ministers. However, Xie Qian took the initiative to communicate with Xiao Jing, which was equivalent to the external court and the internal court actively colluding, which was a serious behavior beyond the control.

However, Xiao Jing has always been easy to talk to, and knows that Xie Qian is the favorite minister of Emperor Hongzhi, so he said, "Mr. Xie, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. You guys will bring the memorials back to the prison and you must not miss it!"

As the ministers dispersed, the eunuchs carefully took away the boxes containing the memorials. When Xie Qian saw that there was no one around, he said: "Guangdong, the salt tutoring department..."

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "What's the matter with me? It turns out that Chen Zhuangyuan is dealing with the affairs of Guangdong Salt Class Training Department. I've heard about it. Although Chen Zhuangyuan has the responsibility of supervising local salt classes, he can't do it like this..."

Xie Qian was a little nervous when he heard this. Xiao Jing clearly couldn't stand Chen Xi's arbitrary and self-righteous style and criticized him.

"But..."

Xiao Jing changed his subject, "This capital is too far from Guangdong, I'm afraid it's too late to deal with it when it is reported to the court to make a decision. Chen Zhuangyuan's move should be a temporary solution... I will report it in detail to Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Xie Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He said he had reported to Emperor Hongzhi truthfully, but in fact Xiao Jing made a promise to him and would not pursue the matter.

Xie Qian smiled and bowed: "I'm sorry, Eunuch Xiao."

Xiao Jing sighed lightly: "What is Lord Xie saying? Lao Shi said that the granddaughter of the old general Xie Ge married Chen Zhuangyuan, and was a family. Even if there was something wrong, wouldn't we have to speak well?"

Xiao Jing is a good man, but he is also scheming. Although this matter seems not worth mentioning, it seems that Chen Xi is just for the sake of Xie Qian's face, so that Xie Qian is thinking about his kindness.

Xie Qian felt uncomfortable when he heard Xiao Jing mention his granddaughter.

If he married into the Shen family as his wife, it would be a glorious, but unfortunately he was just a concubine. It seemed that Xie Qian was a little shameless in order to win over a young boy.

"Eunuch Xiao, I wonder if Your Majesty is infected with the cold... is it serious?"

After talking about Chen Xi, what Xie Qian was most concerned about was Emperor Hongzhi's illness. Emperor Hongzhi has always been diligent, but now he suddenly became ill and did not attend court, which was heartbreaking.

Xiao Jing forced a smile: "No serious injury, please relax. Your Majesty will recover after resting for one or two days. However, Your Majesty has given me some advice. If you have time, please teach the prince more and not let the prince go on the evil path..."

"ah?"

A word made Xie Qian feel the good intentions of Emperor Hongzhi. This tone clearly meant to entrust an orphan! However, Xie Qian didn't dare to think too much, so he sent Xiao Jing out. After he left, he couldn't help but sigh, and felt annoyed for no reason.

"Boy, you're outside, please don't cause me some trouble, okay?" Xie Qian clenched his fists and cursed viciously. (To be continued.)8
