Chapter 995: Crossing Quanzhou

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty said, the master of the Pavilion should not think randomly. Your Majesty has figured it out. There is someone around the prince who needs to correct his mistakes. Although the lecturer of the East Palace is fulfilling his duties, Shen Zhongcheng and the crown prince are the same age, which is the most suitable. Therefore, he recruited Shen Zhongcheng to return to the court and became the lecturer of the East Palace again... This is Your Majesty's grace!"

Xie Qian did not think that the emperor would change his mind on his own. He felt that it was entirely caused by his own threats, so he had to admit it if he made a mistake. Xie Qian was going to the study to write a copy to Emperor Hongzhi and asked for punishment.

But when Xie Qian invited Xiao Jing into the yard and went to the study together, he learned some details from Xiao Jing, such as Emperor Hongzhi's investigation of the prince's strategy of military affairs, the prince's answers smoothly, and the emperor asked the prince's martial arts and honest things.

Xiao Jing said: "...It's strange to say that this Shen Zhongcheng is really a powerful man. Liu Shangshu valued it. You attach great importance to it. Even Shangshu Ma and Zhan Shi Wu are very respectful. Your Majesty praised his talent. The prince treated him very well. No one in the court can surpass him!"

"If you write a military book for the prince, if someone else is afraid that the matter will be spread, and you wish everyone could know his great achievements. But Shen Zhongcheng has been away from the capital for a year, and it is not easy for His Majesty to know that he has taught the prince so carefully."

"Mr. Xie Ge, our family is here for congratulations. You can find such a good son-in-law. In the future, Shen Zhongcheng will inherit your mantle and enter the palace is just around the corner."

If someone else said this, Xie Qian would definitely listen to it in the opposite way, thinking that the other party was entertainment and mocking him, not from the bottom of his heart. However, the words came from the mouth of the good man Xiao Jing, which was very impressive to Xie Qian.

Shen Xi has the ability, but Xie Qian digs it!

When Xie Qian accidentally went to Hanlin Academy to do business, because Shen Xi was the top scorer like him, he felt a little uncomfortable... How could you, a young boy, be with me?

Then Xie Qian asked Shen Xi to do a few things. It was revealed that Shen Xi was not a nerd who could only read books. He had foresight and strong ability to do things, so he used it out of the ordinary and finally achieved what he had today.

"Eunuch Xiao smiled. I tried my best to protect him. It was not that he was a relative of him, but that he wanted to leave a talent for the Ming Dynasty." Xie Qian defended.

Even at this time, Xiao Jing was quite dissatisfied with his heart and said with a smile: "What did Master Xie say... Your Majesty understands Master's good intentions. Isn't it? I specially asked our family to pass the imperial edict. If the granddaughter of Master married into the Shen Mansion, it would be inappropriate for his status. Your Majesty specially gave him a status. In the future, Shen Zhongcheng returned to the court, he would be grateful to Master for his kindness..."

Xie Qian was flattered.

He originally didn't want to marry Xie Hengnu to Shen Xi because it was not marriage, it was simply a gift. The eldest granddaughter of the old family in the palace was as beautiful as a flower and innocent as a pure and innocent person. How could he be a concubine for others?

Even if Shen Xi is talented, it is not suitable for the portal.

Xie Qian was born into a wealthy family in Yuyao. He had been in the court for many years. His younger brother Xie Di had also become an official in the court, and his son was once again a juren. Such a wealthy family sent his granddaughter to Shen Xi as a concubine, which made Xie Qian look disgusted.

However, Xie Qian was stingy and had no idea of ​​the family. He knew that his granddaughter had a deep affection for Shen Xi and would not marry him unless he was Shen Xi. He himself was a friend of Shen Xi.

Especially when Shen Xi returned from the northwest border, Xie Qian felt guilty about Shen Xi's contribution to the overall interests of the overall benefit when he received such great contributions from Shen Xi. In addition, there are many places to use Shen Xi on weekdays. If there is an extra layer of in-laws relationship, he feels more confident in standardizing and guiding Shen Xi.

With a responsible attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, Xie Qiancai "sent" his granddaughter Xie Hengnu to Chen Xi. He did not ask Chen Xi to be so good to Xie Hengnu, but in his lifetime, at least Chen Xi could treat Xie Hengnu well for his sake.

But if the emperor gave Xie Hengnu a title, then Xie Hengnu would be a "pair wife" in the Shen family. Although there is no legal basis for the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's words and words are often used to give his concubines. Even if he can't compare with Chen Xi's wife Xie Yuner, his status at home is no longer a Teng concubine with no status, which makes Xie Qian look glorious.

Xie Qian knelt on the ground, burst into tears, and kowtowed to Xiao Jing: "The old minister is so heartless that it is hard to repay the holy grace."

"Get up quickly, get up quickly."

Xiao Jing now fully demonstrated his good side, helped Xie Qian up, and made another beautiful statement, praising Chen Xi for the existence of heaven and earth, and even said how beautiful and wise the granddaughter of Xie's parents and granddaughters were, and how reasonable the title of imperial gift was.

But after all, the emperor did this just to win people's hearts.

Since the king of a country mentioned the imperial title in front of Xie Qian before, although Xie Qian declined politely, he also made a tough resignation.

If this matter was revealed, Xie Qian stayed to continue to perform his duties as a Grand Secretary in the Cabinet. He must have thought that the emperor would not be so hardworking when doing things. Zhu Youzhang neither achieved his goal to let Chen Xi go to the northwest, nor won over Xie Qian's heart, which was a complete failure.

But if the previous promise is given, even if Chen Xi does not go to the northwest, thanks to the great grace of the emperor, Xie Qian and Shen Xi will definitely do their best to do their best to work for the court. For the emperor and Xie Qian, it will be a win-win outcome and will be good for everyone.

Xie Qian was not a pedantic person. Seeing that the emperor not only made compromises, he did not let Chen Xi go to the northwest, but also gave Xie Hengnu the title, and even treated him with courtesy, he couldn't help but feel guilty. Xie Qian now thought that he would do his best to do his best in the future and not disappoint Emperor Hongzhi. Zhu Youzhang's goal was achieved.

"Ge, please rest first, our family will go back to the palace first. Your Majesty can't afford to sit on the bed these days. You can't afford to pay attention to the memorials and memorials on weekdays. We don't have much talent to learn, and the contents of the reprints are based on the tickets of the three Ges. If there is anything wrong, you should take more responsibility!"

Xiao Jing seemed extremely humble when it comes to the commentary, but Xie Qian knew that in fact, Xiao Jing should occupy an absolute dominant position in the power system.

Xiao Jing is kind, Xie Qian must be treacherous.

In the past, when the emperor was diligent, he did not use the Silijian, but now the emperor is sick, and the role of the Silijian has been greatly highlighted. In the future, he will rely more on this noble person in the palace.

When encountering such difficult-to-decide memorials, you must first open up Xiao Jing's joints. Otherwise, no matter how good his vote is, Xiao Jing can reject it with a stroke of his pen or even tamper with it.

This is the power of the Sili Superintendent in charge of the eunuchs.

...

...

To calm down the bandits on Da'ao and Nan'ao Island, Chen Xi led his troops back to Huanggang, and had a rest. He met with Chaozhou Prefect, Raoping County Magistrate and Dacheng District, and sent the prisoners away. At the same time, he properly solved the problem of military farming for the people who voluntarily surrendered.

I believe that with the extinction of the coastal bandits, with the fertility of the Chaoshan Plain, the surrounding areas around Huanggang will soon become a prosperous place.

During this period, Chen Xi commended the soldiers of the three armies, which led to a sharp increase in morale among the entire army.

Afterwards, the army continued to move north in two groups.

Chen Xi led the army to arrive at the second stop of the north of this trip on May 6th, and it was also Quanzhou City where he once fought with Folang Jiren.

Chen Xi came here this time, wearing the hat of admiring the coastal military affairs of the three provinces, no longer the miserable appearance of the little imperial envoy before... You must know that even the prefect of Quanzhou Zhang Lian could point fingers at him.

After Chenxi entered the city, he first handled the official documents, and then went to the official office where he had lived in. Even the room was the one I lived in when I came to Quanzhou last time. He fell asleep regardless of the time.

As a weak scholar, even if he is full of energy, he cannot withstand the troubles of marching and fighting. Chen Xi felt that his bones were about to fall apart during the journey. Occasionally he had to stay up late to study the terrain and strategic maps, which made him physically and mentally exhausted. At this time, he wanted to sleep for twelve hours first and get up and leave directly with the army.

Although the situation of the soldiers of the three armies was slightly better, they walked completely on their legs and marched and fought for two consecutive months. In addition, the stimulation of money had passed, and the officers and soldiers were not so strong at this moment.

After one day I could rest and stay near the Guanyi Office, except for daily patrols, I would never see anyone coming out of the camp and wandering around the city.

Chen Xi entered the city at noon and originally planned to sleep until the next day, but it was not dark yet, and the governor of Quanzhou Wu Sheng was waiting in the hall of the official post.

Originally, the Quanzhou Guard Commander should have come, but the former commander Wang He was promoted, and the current commander did not dare to leave the yamen to meet the highest military and political chief of the three provinces, so he could only wait for the Chenxi to see him.

But Wu Sheng didn't have so many concerns. He was always a local administrative official. Chen Xi sent troops to pass by Quanzhou Prefecture. The prefect could come to the note as usual, and even ask about military affairs and make some supplements to money, grain and materials.

"...Sir, Master Wu has been waiting outside for a long time, why don't you go out and have a look?" Jing Yue stood at Shen Xi's bedside, and it was like a flies that Chen Xi couldn't sleep peacefully.

Chen Xi sat up and said angrily: "The court has regulations. When I go to Quanzhou Prefecture City, I must meet this prefect?"

Jing Yue was yelled for no reason, but he also knew that disturbing other people's dreams was not a good thing, and he came over and over again and he hesitated: "Sir, when you passed through the prefecture before, you... took the initiative to pass on the..."

Chen Xi had met the heads of local prefectures and counties before. To put it bluntly, he asked for money and food. However, when he arrived in Quanzhou, there were no pirates and Japanese pirates around, and the local chief did not do anything that people and gods were angry and corrupt, so Chen Xi did not have so much energy to take the initiative to meet him. He was already very tired of socializing in the officialdom.

"If I don't have the instructions from my official in the future, I will come to my bedroom and tent. Even if I have any information, I will change it to others!" Chen Xi got up to sort out her clothes, and Jing Yue stepped out tactfully, but he was thinking in his heart who should be sent to.

Liu Ya!

There are not many people in the army who will not yell at Chen Xi.

Even if Ma Jiu did something wrong, Chen Xi would curse without mercy. This is called equal treatment, but Chen Xi's attitude towards Liu Ya and the other two women who did not know Jing Yue should be much more gentle.

The main reason is that war is a man's business, and it is already very hard for women to accompany the army. Even if Chen Xi has a bad temper, he will not care about women.
