Liu Daxia tried to persuade Xie Qian, but his words were pale and powerless at this time.

No matter what he said, Liu Daxia has taken advantage of the factors that made Chen Xi. Chen Xi was just a young man and was the top student at the age of thirteen. Now he is only seventeen years old. He is so serious that he can bear such a great responsibility. If Chen Xi loses money in the northwest, Liu Daxia cannot leave the matter. This is what Xie Qian is dissatisfied with.

Liu Daxia used Chen Xi and naturally thought about what would happen if he used it correctly, but never considered the result after the failure.

Whether for public or private purposes, Xie Qian would not agree to let Liu Daxia transfer Chenxi to the northwest to be the governor of Yansui, nor would he agree to let Chenxi lead his troops to the expedition. Even if he stayed Chenxi as a lecturer in the Eastern Palace in Zhanshi Mansion, it would be better than pushing Chenxi to the battlefield. Xie Qian would die to protect Chenxi from being pushed to the dead by Liu Daxia.

When Ma Wensheng saw this situation, he could not help the two of them to make peace. He could only express his own opinions: "I have never denied the talent of Chenxi, but he was too extreme in his work. He may be able to take advantage of the contempt of others to achieve results, but it is not a long-term solution."

"I heard that after the Northwest War, the Tatar envoy went to the capital and provoked him, intending to compete with him outside the battlefield. If he led his troops, the Tatar might turn swords into jade and join forces to take his troops as the main attack. Shi Yong, have you taken this into consideration?"

One sentence hits the core of the problem.

Chen Xi was very hated by the Tatars. If the Tatars were to kill Chen Xi, the enemy who was humiliated by the shame, perhaps when Shen Xi sent troops, they would first mediate internally, and then share the same hatred against the enemy, and join forces to attack Chen Xi. With the fierceness of the Tatar cavalry, the same mistake would not be made twice, and Chen Xi would probably not have a good end.

Xie Qian sneered: "You ask him, didn't he expect it? Maybe he was about to use Chenxi's child as bait and prepare to let Chenxi's child carry tens of thousands of Tatars soldiers and horses. He then leads troops to attack the Tatars' rear and cuts off the Tatars' rear. Chenxi's child died on the spot, but he can succeed and become famous!"

Ma Wensheng and Xie Qianghuo looked at Liu Daxia.

Among the three, Xie Qian knew very little about military strategy. After all, he never took charge of the army. He was good at doing knowledge and dealing with government affairs, and rarely involved specific conquests.

But even Xie Qian could see that Liu Daxia was preparing to push Chen Xi as bait to die, and Liu Daxia denied it was futile!

Before, Liu Daxia thought that he could not bear to let his children go to trap the wolf. Since he wanted to create a good external environment for the new prince of the Ming Dynasty to ascend the throne, it would be acceptable to sacrifice one or two people or even tens of thousands of soldiers.

What's more, Liu Daxia did not take the initiative to push Chen Xi to die. Chen Xi still has a chance to rescue himself. Perhaps Chen Xi could lead three to five thousand soldiers and horses to withstand the siege of tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry, and finally return to victory?

Those who achieve great things do not care about the details. As for the life and death of one or two people, or even the life and death of those who Liu Daxia had previously admired and praised, it was irrelevant. This was the cruelty and ruthlessness of being in the court, because everything was first of all, and anyone could sacrifice on the premise of achieving the goal.

For the sake of the overall situation, Xie Qian believed that Liu Daxia's move was very good. He used the Tatars' hatred of Chen Xi to let Chen Xi lead the troops in front and attract the main Tatars to attack. He also believed that Chen Xi's genius could lead a small number of troops to support him for a long time. This was his confidence in Chen Xi.

But two fists cannot defeat four hands, and Chen Xi cannot survive under the enemy's circumstances. However, Liu Daxia was able to seize the opportunity to achieve results. He might not have been able to destroy the Tatars' main force, at least in this kind of real sword war. He would not be at a disadvantage. He used Chen Xi and thousands of soldiers who died to fight for the overall advantage of the Ming army, which made Xie Qian unacceptable.

Xie Qian’s support for Chen Xi is no longer from the perspective of the court, but out of righteous indignation. Why did you let my grandson-in-law die?

The effect of your Liu Daxia going out as a bait may be better than Chen Xi. You recommended Chen Xi openly, but secretly used him to let him die. You want my good granddaughter to be a ** when she got married, don't think about it!

Xie Qian’s personal relationship is greater than justice. In Liu Daxia’s opinion, you are speechless. You protect Chenxi, but your Majesty’s last wish cannot be fulfilled at the end of his life. Are you the attitude that a minister should have?

Since he was talking nonsense, Liu Daxia knew that it would be useless to say anything to Xie Qian. If he continued to insist on letting Chen Xi go to the war with the army, or even let Chen Xi be the vanguard officer, then he would completely lose Xie Qian, a political ally, and it would be difficult for Xie Qian to get help from the government in the future.

Ma Wensheng saw this and quickly waved his hand: "I will discuss this matter in the future. I will ask Your Majesty for instructions and let Your Majesty personally decide!"

Ma Wensheng, who has always been old and firm, seems to say neutral words, but in Xie Qian's opinion, Ma Wensheng clearly stood on the side of Liu Daxia.

What does it mean to "Your Majesty personally decide"? The emperor has agreed to Liu Daxia to let Chen Xi go to war with the army. As for letting Chen Xi be the governor of Yansui, or some other errands, this may be discussed later, but this matter is irreversible.

Now I want Liu Daxia to tell His Majesty that you should take back your life and let someone else go to war with Liu Daxia. Now you, Ma Wensheng, say that you are supporting Liu Daxia, is equivalent to saying that you support you. Then I have nothing to talk to you.

Xie Qian said with a frown: "If you Liu Dongshan (Liu Daxia's name) continue to be stubborn and unconscious, the three armies will allocate food and salary, and you can't imagine that I will cooperate. At worst... I resigned from my post and returned to my hometown. Even if Your Majesty is not allowed, I will make this old bone sick and say I will not be able to pay my respects! Goodbye!"

After saying that, Xie Qian left the Liu Mansion without even turning his head, which made Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia feel helpless.

Among the three major scholars in the cabinet, the emperor relies the most on Xie Qian. In addition to Xie Qian's decent work in recent years and doing several major things in succession, he also lost some of the other two, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, and took sick leave whenever they had anything to do, and stayed at home and refused to attend court.

The emperor originally intended to let Cheng Minzheng enter the cabinet to share the heavy responsibility, but after Cheng Minzheng died in the 12th year of Hongzhi, the emperor felt that the party disputes within the court were serious, so that Fu Han, Wu Kuan and others, who had a competitive relationship with Cheng Minzheng, were unable to enter the cabinet until Zhu Youting died.

The cabinet has always maintained three cabinet ministers, mainly because Zhu Youzhang felt that no one who did things appropriately and could convince the public entered the cabinet. He could not rashly mobilize him when he was in poor health. Therefore, even if Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were unintentional to resign repeatedly, he would rather let Xie Qian take care of the cabinet's errands alone than recruit other people.

Now, Xie Qian has made the statement clear in order to protect Chen Xi... If Liu Daxia insists on doing his own thing, then I will not play with you. For the so-called interests of the court and the good external environment for the crown prince to ascend the throne, you have pushed my grandson-in-law out to die, allowing me to watch the obedient and well-behaved granddaughter as **. Then, I, Xie, who is still serving the court, will I resign directly!

"Shi Yong, don't think too much. Yu Qiao just couldn't let go. After I came to persuade him, I'll do whatever you should do. I'll stand by your side." Ma Wensheng expressed his attitude at this time.

Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian, Chen Xi's intersection is far less than that of Liu Daxia. Although he also appreciates Chen Xi's ability to do things, he once led troops to fight against Hami, and was even more soldier-like, so he could only achieve strategic goals. It was not a problem to sacrifice a few people, so he believed that Xie Qian was purely emotional.

This time, he unconditionally supported Liu Daxia and asked Liu Daxia to continue his previous plan to send troops.

Since a Shenxi River can win the Ming Dynasty's victory in the battle against the Tatars, why not do such a cheap good thing?

Even if Chen Xi died, he was just a young young man. The court would admit 300 Jinshi every three years. Why do you think he must be better than others?

At this time, Liu Daxia was in a dilemma.

Xie Qian put pressure on him, and Ma Wensheng actually put pressure on him. If this matter is not taken lightly, Liu Daxia might feel better, because whether or not Chen Xi is used or not, it can be said to be a "actual need". Now it has become Liu Daxia's decision to stand on justice or private affairs. Ma Wensheng clearly put him in a position where he cannot come from Taiwan.

Liu Daxia thought to himself: "Yu Qiao, Yu Qiao, if you don't talk about things in front of Weitu, maybe I will save you, because I know that your existence in this battle is more meaningful than Chen Xi, and I would rather use Chen Xi to exchange for your support. But now you tell Weitu about this matter. If I follow you, then Weitu will report this matter to the court, where will I place me?"

Liu Daxia said: "What Mr. Ma reminded me is that this matter may be reported to Your Majesty and will be decided by Your Majesty."

Liu Daxia has been in the officialdom for many years and will never lose any talk. He felt that the key problem now lies with Zhu Youzhang. Xie Qian's attitude is so clear that he refuses to let Chen Xi go to war. It is not him and Ma Wensheng, nor Liu Jian and Li Dongyang who can tell Xie Qian. Except for the emperor, no one can make Xie Qian change his mind.

Before, Xie Qian had been forced to agree to Emperor Hongzhi and let Chen Xi go to war with Liu Daxia. Now, in order not to let Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian feel embarrassed at the same time, Liu Daxia could only risk offending Xie Qian and let the emperor put pressure on Xie Qian again...

Didn’t Xie Qian say that you want to resign from office and not do it? Then I will report to Your Majesty and tell Your Majesty that you have used resignation and illness to threaten me. Your Majesty will talk to you again. If you dare to act like this, it is the crime of deceiving the king. It depends on how you deal with it!

It was still true that those who accomplish great things are not limited to the details. Liu Daxia was posed by Emperor Hongzhi and was pushed into a dilemma by Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian. He would not care how much friendship he had with Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng.

How can those who are in politics disrupt the righteousness for personal gain?
