Xie Yun'er wanted to go up and say a few words to Zhou, asking Zhou not to ask more, but Shen Xi waved his hand and signaled his wife not to intervene. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Xi felt a little bit of a grudge against the Zhou family in his heart, after all, the Zhou family almost beat the prince indiscriminately that day, but fortunately, this matter did not continue to ferment, otherwise the Zhou family's edict would probably be deprived, and it would also affect Shen Xi and the entire Shen family.

Shen Xi said with a straight face: "Mother, you better ask less, the relationship between the DPRK and China is complicated, and it affects the whole body, and it is not for you to be a woman who can ask about it!" ”

Zhou was very upset and glared at Shen Xi: "You kid has hard wings, you know everything, right?" After all, you didn't jump out of my belly? ”

Zhou never paid attention to the occasion when he spoke and acted, Xie Yun'er went to the old mansion to explain the identity of the prince to her before, Zhou was frightened, and it took many days to ease up. Now facing Shen Xi, the Zhou family has relapsed into the old ways, Xie Yun'er was worried that her father-in-law and mother-in-law would quarrel, so she hurriedly went over to remind her, and then helped the indignant Zhou into the inner courtyard to see Shen Yun.

Now Shen Yun and Shen Yier are learning the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" with Mr. Girl, the two little guys don't work hard, but Shen Yi'er has a smart head, and she has been like a little adult since she was a child, even if she only invests a small amount of energy, it is enough to digest and absorb the knowledge points taught by the teacher, but Shen Yun is not good, every time the teacher asks a question, he blushes and can't speak, which makes the female gentleman shake his head again and again.

Shen Xi watched Zhou's back disappear behind the Moon Gate, and sighed helplessly. Then he returned to his study and prepared to write a letter to Xie Qian, tactfully expressing his intention to perform his duties in Nanjing.

In Shen Xi's opinion, there was no big problem to go to Huguang, but the key is that he has been an official for a few years, and he has only returned to Beijing for a few days, and he has not yet reunited with his family, so he is going to the south again, and he is still rectifying the soldiers and horses to quell the local rebellion, which makes him a little unacceptable.

If you talk to the emperor directly about the conditions, it will seem that he, a courtier, does not know what to do, and the emperor has not officially assigned it, and now it is just Ma Wensheng who is talking about it, and he can't play with the court about the things that have not been implemented.

There should be a court discussion in the palace today, after all, Liu Daxia has just returned to Beijing, so he has to take his subordinates, including Gu Dayong, the eunuch of the prison army, to the Qianqing Palace to face the saint. As a cabinet scholar, Xie Qian must be present, if the distribution of credit is agreed on in the court meeting, Shen Xi is very worried that he will be appointed by the emperor as the governor of Huguang on the spot, so Xie Qian will not be able to intervene.

Sure enough, in the evening, Shen Xi sent someone to deliver the letter to Xie Qian's small courtyard on East Chang'an Street, and Xie Qian replied early the next morning.

In the letter, Xie Qian talked about some useless gossip, and sprinkled three pages, but in general, it was one sentence - there is nothing that can be done!

Shen Xi knew that his appointment to Huguang was almost a certainty

……

……

Liu Daxia returned to the court, and this time the work of agreeing on the military merits of the Tatar war was launched, and as for who was the first merit between Liu Daxia and Shen Xi, in fact, there was not much controversy in the court.

The problem is not Shen Xi, but Liu Daxia.

The war was started by Liu Daxia, he led his troops out of the fortress, went deep into the steppe to fight the Tatars, and suffered a series of defeats, it can be said that he was the main responsible person for the loss of troops and land in the early stage of the war, but he was still the hero who recovered most of the lost land and drove the Tatars out of the country.

But the problem is that the process of expelling the Tartars is basically laid by Shen Xi's several tough battles, and Liu Daxia himself admits this. Therefore, after Liu Daxia arrived in Beijing, he asked the emperor to give the first credit to Shen Xi, and strongly advocated that Shen Xi stay in the capital and serve as the squire of the six departments.

The civil official group did not expect that such a scheming old minister as Liu Daxia would strongly advocate asking Shen Xi for credit after returning to the capital, and even on the eleventh and twelfth days of the lunar month, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and other major leaders of the civilian official group met with Liu Daxia separately one after another, wanting him to take back his life and not make trouble for the court's military merit negotiation work, but Liu Daxia ruthlessly rejected it.

Because of the issue of the first merit, the various factions within the civil official group were in turmoil, so that in the past few days since Liu Daxia returned to the court, the imperial court did not have any conclusion on the military merit.

Even the first merit has not been formulated, and the follow-up meritorious work can only be delayed.

On the thirteenth day of the lunar month, Xie Qian called Shen Xi to his small courtyard on East Chang'an Street.

In the study, Xie Qian had a little smug on his face and asked, "Shen Xi, do you know about Liu Shangshuqian's first credit?" ”

Shen Xi nodded, he learned that this matter was not from the imperial court, but from the news sent by Liu Daxia on the day he returned to Beijing.

Xie Qian asked again: "What do you think of this?" ”

Shen Xi asked curiously: "What do you think?" ”

Xie Qian said angrily: "Liu Shangshu is willing to give you the first credit, which shows his affirmation of you." Now the cabinet is deadlocked on this issue, originally one first merit and one second merit, there is not much controversy, with Liu Shangshu's age and qualifications, you can't fight for it at all, but I want to ask you now, do you want to fight for this first merit? ”

Shen Xi really wanted to ask, even if I won the first merit back, what was the use? Can I avoid going to Huguang to perform my duties, or give me an extra reward of tens of thousands of taels of silver for me and my family?

Since he can't be a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, and he can't have too much impact on his future career, whether it is the first merit or not doesn't mean much to him.

Shen Xi replied: "Everything is up to Elder Xie Ge to decide!" When he said this, he naturally didn't fight.

Xie Qian's face was full of displeasure when he heard this, and he said, "At a young age, what are you doing so old-fashioned?" Young people should be a little more energetic, if you want to fight, the old man will try to help you. ”

"Judging from the current situation, due to Liu Shangshu's repeated insistence, His Majesty's attitude has loosened, if I exert my strength, I may not be able to take it down! But if you don't want to fight, then take advantage of the morning to clear the court, so as not to embarrass the cabinet and the military department! ”

Xie Qian forced Shen Xi to make a clear statement, and in desperation, Shen Xi had to sigh faintly: "The student has thought about it, it doesn't mean much to fight or not, so let's not fight!" ”

Xie Qian frowned, and after a long while, he stared into Shen Xi's eyes and sighed: "This is what you said, the old man will draw up a copy according to your intention and hand it to Liu Shangshu." As long as he can understand your grievances, I believe this matter is not so controversial. However, now it is nothing more than a question of who is the master and who is the second between Liu Shangshu and you, and the court can't treat you badly! ”

"Liu Shiyong doesn't know how to do it, I have to give you the first credit when I come back this time, it's really unpredictable!"

What Xie Qian didn't understand, Shen Xi saw very thoroughly.

Why did Liu Daxia fight for Shen Xi's first credit? In fact, the purpose of Hongzhi's thirteenth year to suppress Shen Xi is the same, in order to maintain "stability".

At the beginning, Shen Xi was a fledgling and his name was unknown, and the credit for suppressing Shen Xi was to prevent the soldiers of the three sides from being jealous of a fledgling boy in the court, so as to do something unfavorable to the court and safeguard the interests of the military general group.

At that time, Shen Xi now relied on his military talent to fight six or seven beautiful victories in a row on the line from Tumubao to the capital, destroying the living forces of the Tatars, winning valuable time for the soldiers and horses on the three sides to return to the Beijing Division, and also helping the imperial court to win the victory in the defense of the Beijing Division.

Now Shen Xi's reputation in the border army is not much different from Liu Daxia.

In fact, the most important official position that the imperial court should arrange for Shen Xi is to let Shen Xi succeed Liu Daxia as the governor of the three sides, coordinate the troops and horses of the three sides, and complete the rest and recuperation of the three sides and Xuanda and other places after the war.

Now that the entire border army knows Shen Xi's great achievements, the Ming army is very much in need of such a god-like figure, and Liu Daxia naturally has to give up the first credit in order to maintain the stability of the army.

Shen Xi shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart: "Liu Daxia is the first meritorious, this is based on the interests of the civil official group, and the civil official believes that the merit must be ranked according to age, official position, seniority and other factors, so the civil official has to make this first merit." As for my first merit, this is due to the consideration of the military generals group, and the military generals group's affirmation of me, as well as their desire for clear rewards and punishments in the imperial court, is the main reason for Liu Daxia's contribution! ”

These words, even if Shen Xi knew them, he couldn't explain them to Xie Qian, because some words would hurt people.

Xie Qian is in the civil official group, and in his eyes, Liu Daxia is the best candidate for the first merit, so although Xie Qian said it beautifully, if Shen Xi really wants to fight for merit, he may not be able to exert his strength.

Shen Xi himself didn't care about the first merit or the second merit at all, because it was a false name.

Liu Daxia, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, in order to serve the public, he must push Shen Xi out and establish an idol that everyone is convinced of. In fact, it is very suitable to arrange Shen Xi to enter the military department as a squire at this time, but because of the exclusion of the civilian group, Shen Xi can't even enter the household department, let alone the military department yamen, which is more important than the household department.
