At the beginning of the lunar month, the weather in the capital is even colder, the snow is all over the sky, the streets are basically covered with snow, and Zhu Shan has to take the maid out to clear the snow every day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Shen Xi is still in a state of leisure, he is willing to take this situation, he doesn't have to work, and he can still receive a salary, which is also considered an advantage or a disadvantage, but he occasionally has a sense of loss in his heart, as if he is calm after the turmoil, and he always feels not so steady.

After the lifting of martial law in the capital, a curfew was still imposed, and the city gate would be open for two hours in the morning and evening every day, so that grain, firewood, and vegetables from outside the city could be transported into the city, which stabilized prices to a certain extent, and the people's lives gradually got on the right track.

On the fourth day of the lunar month, Shen Xi was informed that he went to the yamen of the military department very early, and Wang Shouren, a fellow science and technology scholar, came out to receive him.

Although Wang Shouren is now only in the Ministry of War, he has been acting on behalf of the Ministry of War, mainly because Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is in the northwest, and there are too many things in the Ministry of War to be busy, and Wang Shouren has a strong ability to do things, although Xiong Xiu is hostile to Wang Shouren, but he has to give Liu Jian and Li Dongyang face, and at the same time, Wang Hua, a bachelor of Hanlin, also found him, hoping to "supervise" his son more. You must know that Wang Hua has a great chance to enter the cabinet now, so Xiong Xiu has changed his attitude, which can be regarded as an investment in his future career.

Xiong Xiu feels that even if this investment is not successful, it will not be lost, Wang Hua's position in the DPRK is very stable, and he has a close relationship with the three auxiliary political scholars of the cabinet.

Although Xiong Xiu is not young, he still has political ambitions, and this person is very sophisticated in business.

Wang Shouren said: "Shen Zhongcheng, if nothing else, the battle merits should be announced in six days." Now the cabinet has submitted it to the celebrant of ceremonies, and only His Majesty's royal approval is needed. As for the list of meritorious soldiers has been reported to the Governor's Mansion, some of the men and horses under your command will be assigned to the border army, you must be mentally prepared! ”

Because of the great achievements of the Beijing battalion soldiers led by Shen Xi, many people were promoted to three levels in a row.

The vast majority of soldiers, even the batch of people who were temporarily enlisted by Shen Xi in Tumubao, also jumped to the official positions of 100 households or even higher, and there were not so many vacancies in the Beijing camp, but at this time, the border army was seriously damaged by the war, and there were many shortage of officers, so the imperial court planned to transfer some of Shen Xi's subordinates to enrich the border army.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "The imperial court is so deployed, firstly, for convenience, so that the meritorious soldiers can get the real shortage as soon as possible, and also with the intention of breaking up the formation of the soldiers and horses under my command, some people stay in the Beijing camp, and some people are assigned to the border army, so as to reduce my influence." ”

Shen Xi said: "Why is it six days later? Is there anything special about this? ”

Wang Shouren sighed lightly: "There's nothing to pay attention to, it's just that the Xuanfu sent back the news, saying that Liu Shangshu will arrive in the capital on the tenth day of the lunar month, and the military department, the ritual department, the official department and other yamen are ready to unify the meritorious service on this day and ask for rewards!" Shen Zhongcheng doesn't have to worry too much! ”

It was the first time that Shen Xishang had learned about Liu Daxia's return from the mouth of the court, and no one had told him about it before, and even Xie Qian kept silent about him.

Wang Shouren said again: "Shen Zhongcheng, there is something I have to remind you, because you are no longer the governor of Yansui, and as for the declaration of military merit rewards, Wang Zhongcheng, who returned to the capital with Liu Shangshu, submitted the matter, and ...... that day You probably won't be in the palace! ”

Shen Xi nodded slightly, about this matter, he had already expected, although the biggest victory in the first battle against the Tatars was led by him, and the credit was the greatest, but because he was temporarily thrown into idleness, even the declaration of war merits needed to be done by the successor Wang Qiong, the governor of Yansui.

Shen Xi was certainly in the limelight on the day of the prisoner sacrifice, but because of this, he attracted strong suppression from the civil official group, and Shen Xi felt more and more that he was not suitable to stay in the capital at present, and the civil official group was not as easy to deal with as the eunuch group.

Liu Jin in history, although he suppressed dissidents and brutalized Zhongliang, he also maintained the attitude that people don't offend me and I don't offend others. However, the civilian clique spares no effort to suppress its political opponents, and even if it feels threatened by them, it will step on them fiercely.

Shen Xi is well aware of the sinister nature of the Ming officialdom, and even famous ministers like Liu Jian and Li Dongyang can't get rid of the idea that the party is the same and fights against differences.

Shen Xi didn't have much thought about whether or not to enter the palace.

As for what Liu Daxia said about himself in front of the emperor, he didn't force it, and it was expected that Liu Daxia, as a relatively marginal figure in the civil and official group, should be able to see clearly in the court situation and would not easily beat himself into the ranks of the enemy.

Xie Qian, Ma Wensheng, and Liu Daxia in the DPRK and China faintly formed a small group, although it seems that it is not as strong as the civilian clique led by Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, but because there are two scholars and a cabinet scholar, this group is also very strong.

In this way, although the Shen faction is very strong, the Shen faction is not weak, and the two sides remain peaceful, the best way is to send Shen Xi, the troublemaker, away, and continue to maintain a relative balance of power. This is also the reason why Shen Xi expected from the beginning that he would definitely be appointed as the local governor.

As for letting him be a provincial political envoy, this is unlikely, the position of the governor is always higher than that of the political envoy, and he is considered the top boss of the political envoy, how can Shen Xi be demoted without fault? Especially at this juncture of rewarding meritorious deeds, no one dares to risk the world's greatness.

Shen Xi said with a smile: "In this battle, Wang Tongnian has made a lot of contributions, and in the meritorious reward, he should be promoted, right?" ”

Wang Shouren was a little embarrassed: "Shen Zhongcheng smiled, in fact, he is in his ambition, not in the court, but in the hope of governing the place and benefiting the people......"

Shen Xi had noticed earlier that Wang Shouren actually had no intention of doing much in the court, this was a far-sighted person.

Wang Shouren lives in the shadow of his father, and Li Dongyang and others' appreciation of Wang Shouren is mainly due to Wang Hua's status in the court. As the leading figure of the Hanyuan family, Wang Hua had an outstanding reputation in the court and also had a far-reaching impact on Wang Shouren. The person who stands in his thirties is still living in the shadow of his father, no wonder Wang Shouren wants to break outside.

Shen Xi smiled: "Why not?" ”

In front of Wang Shouren, Shen Xi didn't need to hide anything, he had no intention of intriguing in the court, the civil official group regarded him as a fledgling boy, and the emperor didn't have complete trust in him, so the meaning of staying in the court was to coax Zhu Houzhao to take care of this bear child?

After talking to Wang Shouren about things, Shen Xi prepared to go home.

In the past few days, Xie Hengnu may give birth at any time, and he has no errands, so he wants to find time to accompany Xie Hengnu more, after all, he may go to Jiangnan at the beginning of the year.

At the gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Shen Xi happened to see Xie Qian and Xiong Xiu walking side by side.

"Shen Xi, I have something to tell you!" When Xie Qian saw Shen Xi, he turned his head sideways and explained to Xiong Xiu, letting Xiong Xiu enter first, while he stayed to explain things to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi asked, "Is there something wrong with the elder pavilion?" ”

Xie Qian glanced at Shen Xi and said, "Naturally, there is something wrong, the court has discussed your whereabouts, and it has basically been decided, and you will go to Nanjing to serve as a waiter!" ”

Shen Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is what Elder Ge said sure?" ”

Xie Qian said coldly: "I was going to leave you in the capital, but you insisted on letting you go, so I can only let you go." You don't have the experience of acting in the six departments, this time to Nanjing to perform duties is also an experience for you, this time most likely to go to the Nanjing military department, wait a few years, the old man will find a way to transfer you back to the capital, since you have made great achievements in the use of soldiers, you will go to the military department in the future, after all...... Ahem, do your job! ”

Shen Xi expected that Xie Qian wanted to talk and stopped, but actually wanted to talk about Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia.

Xie Qian's meaning, since you Shen Xi are good at the affairs of the Ministry of War, now that you have the two secretaries of the Ministry of War to pave the way for you, let you go to Nanjing to be the head of the Ministry of War first, and then transfer to the capital to serve as the head of the Ministry of War in a few years, and in a few years, you can basically be the secretary of the Ministry of War.

But after listening to Xie Qian's words, Shen Xi felt a little unreliable...... Would Liu Jian and Li Dongyang let him go to Nanjing so easily to serve as a squire in the military department?
