Xie Qian secretly pondered for a moment, Shen Xi's errand was actually good, and controlling two relatively wealthy provinces in the south was very much in line with the intention of training Shen Xi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Xi himself couldn't believe it, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty's intention is to let the ministers concurrently lead the affairs of Huguang and Jiangjiang at the same time, protect the territory and the people, and support the community?" ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled and nodded: "That's exactly what I mean!" ”

Shen Xi couldn't help but wonder, why didn't Emperor Hongzhi directly appoint him as the governor of Huguang or Liangjiang? Because the official position of the governor of the Ming Dynasty is not very set, no matter how the emperor wants to arrange the duties of the governor, even if he is allowed to manage the north and south at the same time, no one will feel that there is any problem.

What's more, Jiangjiang and Huguang were originally two provinces bordering each other.

One province is also in charge, and two provinces are also in charge, in fact, there is no big difference for Shen Xi.

Huguang and Jiangjiang are both along the Yangtze River, and the errands involved in his superintendent should be related to the military affairs of the governor and the dredging and improvement of the river, which are not difficult in his eyes.

After being an official for so many years, Shen Xi has been idle and has received important responsibilities, and now he is an official with great authority, so he naturally will not object.

In fact, in the eyes of most people, whether it is the governor of Jiangjiang or the governor of Huguang, they are all fat shortages, and the two provinces are managed by one person, which can be said to be an eye-popping advantage or disadvantage.

How many two lists of jinshi, mixed with officialdom for decades, have not been mixed from the political envoy Sibu to the position of governor, he Shen Xi has been an official for less than five years, has been the governor of six provinces, if you maintain this rhythm, it is simply to be the governor of the northern and southern provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Jiangjiang, Huguang and Guangzhou, the original land is rich, the products are abundant, and Jiangnan is the main grain producing area of the Ming Dynasty, but there have been floods every year in recent years, the river has been in disrepair for a long time, and every time the local government uses the famine as an excuse to pay less public grain. The imperial court allocated funds for local repairs, but I don't know where they were used, otherwise why can't this flood be stopped? Shen Qing's family is good to check after passing! ”

"In addition, some tribes in the south, taking advantage of the internal and external difficulties of my Ming Dynasty, have repeatedly attacked and disturbed the southern prefectures and counties of Huguang and Jiangjiang, you go this time, when you rectify the soldiers and horses, and completely quell the local rebellion in the two provinces within a few years!"

Not only was the errand given, but also the specific time to do the errand...... Within a few years, it means that Shen Xi will not have to return to the capital in the next few years.

Shen Xi muttered to himself: "Don't let me go back to Beijing, it's like someone rarely comes back, it's a good thing to stay in Lianghu and Jiangjiang, at least the mountains are high there, the emperor is far away, I don't have to look at the emperor's face and Liu Jian and Li Dongyang every day to live!" On the surface, he saluted respectfully: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Zhu Youzhu was very satisfied with Shen Xi's "good speech", and said with a smile: "Shen Qingjia, I have asked Liu Shangshu, he has greatly admired your performance in the Tatar War, in my opinion, you do have an extraordinary talent in mobilizing troops and sending troops to march to fight, if you can quell the rebellion of the southern tribes, I will allow you to return to the dynasty and entrust you with important tasks!" ”

Shen Xi didn't look up, and secretly thought: "What kind of heavy task?" The book of the military department? You first solve the resistance of the civilian clique! ”

In Shen Xi's view, now that the civil official group has the power in the court, Zhu Youzhi will not help even if he is the emperor, and he is not much different from an empty marshal.

Thinking of this, Shen Xi suddenly admired Liu Jin a little.

is such a eunuch, who can collapse the monolithic civil official group cultivated by the Hongzhi Dynasty, this ability is not possessed by ordinary people.

But if you think about it carefully, in fact, the reason why Liu Jin was able to gain power mainly came from the trust of the new emperor, and it was also related to the fact that Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others were not responsible for the imperial court.

If it weren't for Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Ma Wensheng and others who saw that Liu Jin had no hope of resigning in anger, they would never have let the eunuch family dominate.

Zhu Youzhu didn't know that when he was outlining Shen Xi's future prospects, Shen Xi was thinking about the fight between the civil official group and the eunuchs.

As for the high-sounding words that Zhu Youzhi said, Shen Xi was too lazy to listen to them, they were the same, it was nothing more than asking him to do things well in the local area, and then promising some unrealistic benefits, which was equivalent to writing empty checks, but he would never honor them...... After all, according to history, Emperor Hongzhi will live for a year or two at most!

Zhu Youzhu said again: "Shen Qingjia, what difficulties do you have?" Don't know when you can leave? ”

Shen Xi knew that Zhu Youzhu wanted to send him out of Beijing as soon as possible, and when the emperor reached such a point of immorality, Shen Xi was helpless in his heart.

Before, Zhu Youzhu may have wanted to promote him and let him fight against the civil official group, but after he found that he was powerless, he wanted to tie up with the civil official group and send him out, so as to satisfy the wishes of the civil official group in exchange for a smooth transition to the throne.

Shen Xi said: "There are still relatives in the minister's family who are in labor, and the minister wants to wait for the next year before leaving for Jiangzuo, please ask Your Majesty for permission!" ”

If someone else is changed, the emperor arranges errands, and it is all in a hurry, and there is no reason for delay.

But Shen Xi dared to ask the emperor to postpone his departure on private matters, and he looked very unfamiliar.

But his ignorance is exactly what the emperor needs.

Because the emperor always felt that he had treated Shen Xi badly, and tried to be satisfied in some small things, it would make the emperor have the illusion of "I have not lost the king", and Zhu Youzhu said with a smile:

"Then Shen Qing's family will set off after the Yuan Festival...... It's freezing on this day, and the canal is frozen and can't be used, so let's go south by land! ”

……

……

Shen Xi didn't stay long in the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi was not in good health and needed to recuperate, and when things were almost done, he asked Xie Qian to call Xiao Jing back, and explained a few words, and then asked Xie Qian to send Shen Xi out of the palace on his behalf.

Out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Xie Qian smiled and said: "You can, from the coastal governor of the three provinces to the governor of the two provinces, and the title of the imperial history of the second rank and right capital, don't all the local officials below have to slap you?" ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, those officials below don't give me a whole moth, just don't think about it, and don't think about it when you expect them to do things.

After more than a hundred years of peace, the corruption of Ming officialdom has penetrated into all corners, even if Shen Xi has the heart to change, many things are beyond his power.

Shen Xi doesn't want to go along with it, but he won't easily touch the unspoken rules of this era, only those in power are qualified to reform, and he is not qualified to care about these things now.

Shen Xi said: "Xie Ge Lao thinks that going to Huguang is an advantage or bad? ”

Xie Qian was very depressed by Shen Xi's words, of course he didn't think that Shen Xi got any advantages or inferiorities, in Xie Qian's view, any local official is far away from the core power layer, and belongs to distribution, it is best for Shen Xi to be an official in the Hanlin system all his life, and he does not need any real power, but once he comes into contact with power, he will be a cabinet minister and admired by the people of the world.

Xie Qian put on a serious look and said, "Don't complain, don't go to Huguang and Jiangjiang, think about it, what errand can be given to you in the court?" If you are not allowed to enter Zhan Shifu, it seems that the old man treats you badly, but he doesn't want many people to go to Zhan Shifu without being able to! ”

Shen Xi didn't want to go to Xie Qian.

The wife at home is giving birth, even if Xie Qian doesn't care about his little granddaughter, Shen Xi is anxious at this time, and hurriedly said: "The inner son is waiting to give birth, so I won't talk to the elder of the pavilion, and the student will leave the palace by himself!" ”

Xie Qian hurriedly caught up and said angrily, "What do you mean...... You want to go home by yourself, don't you...... Your Majesty instructed the old man to send you out of the palace...... Let me go with you to your house and see ......."

Today coincided with Xie Qian being on duty in the cabinet, and he was originally going back to Wenyuan Pavilion to rest, but he knew that his little granddaughter was giving birth, and it was rare to be with Shen Xi, so he happened to go to Shen Mansion together, so that he could stay in the Shen family and know the delivery of his little granddaughter as soon as possible, and go back to tell the family after dawn.

Shen Xi walked out of the palace gate, Xie Qian hurriedly asked people to drive the carriage over, and without Shen Xi's reminder, Xie Lao'er had already drilled the carriage with his hands and feet.

Shen Xi shook his head helplessly, ordered Ma Jiu who came with him, and then got into Xie Qian's carriage.

"Look, why don't you go quickly?" Xie Qian opened the curtain and urged his groom.

The two carriages started one after another, quickly accelerated, and galloped towards the Shen Mansion.

When he arrived at the door of the house, as soon as Shen Xi jumped out of the carriage, he saw Lu'er and Zhu Shan sitting on the threshold waiting.

At this time, the sky was just bright, and the gold dust on the lintel of the Shen Mansion reflected the morning light, shining brightly.

When Lu'er saw Shen Xi, she stood up excitedly and said, "Master, the young lady has given birth and is a ......."
