Zhu Youji's expression was dazed, and then he realized that Shen Xi was not only a lecturer in the East Palace, but also a hero who made a "third-class meritorious service" against the Tatars at the border pass, and if he was sent to the grassland, I was afraid that there would be trouble.

"Then change people and let Wang Shouren go." Emperor Hongji finally made a decision.

Among the new science and technology scholars, the emperor currently remembers Shen Xi and Wang Shouren, which are also the two most praised by the courtiers.

As for Lun Wenxu, Feng Xi and others, although their writing is very good, they have never had the opportunity to perform, and they can only be regarded as decent in their own work.

Wang Shouren had been stranded in Datong Town and did not return to Beijing, so in addition to the convenience of sending him as an envoy, it was also to let Wang Shouren, who was known for his military talent, go deep into the grassland to check the actual situation of the Tatars, so that Da Ming could make some small moves in secret.

On the surface, Shen Xi gave up a good opportunity to make a contribution, but judging from the actual effect, Shen Xi's choice was not wrong. Now he is already very swaggering in the Ming officialdom, causing a lot of unnecessary jealousy, and he must find ways to suppress his edge.

Moreover, the future of this trip to the steppe is uncertain, especially for his hands stained with Tatar blood, so he has to prevent the other party from luring the envoy to cause harm.

After the matter was discussed, Zhu Youzhu was finally ready to end the court discussion, and was about to wave his hand, when Min Gui suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the case of Gao Mingcheng, the household servant, has been tried, and the people involved in the case have all been punished, please show your Majesty." ”

Thinking of Gaoming City, Zhu Youzhu couldn't help sighing, and said: "The loss of grain and grass is not the fault of Gao Qing's family alone, but the disaster of opening the Tartar captives in the side plug hole, thinking about it, I am also at fault." If you are angry because of this, it is really inappropriate, I have ordered the pardon of his sins, and this case is over! ”

The emperor said that he wanted ****, but no one dared to say anything, after all, Gaoming City could be regarded as "sacrificing his life for the country".

After Zhu Youzhu finished speaking, he asked casually: "Who else is in the Gao family?" ”

Min Gyu replied: "Gao Shilang has only one grandson under his knees, he was originally a prisoner, but now he is deprived of his shade ......"

"It's really pitiful, I have been loyal to the country for decades, and in the end I only left my clansmen alone." Zhu Youzhu evaluated Gao Mingcheng as a hero of the Ming Dynasty, but forgot that this case mainly started with Gao Mingcheng's corruption and bribery, "In this way, the ancestral property will be returned, and as for the prisoners...... Special and reserved, to be left in the yamen to serve as a small official. ”

Emperor Hongzhi did not mention the matter of posthumously presenting Shangshu or nickname to Gao Mingcheng, because Zhu Youzhu himself knew that Gao Mingcheng died not very glorious, and you escorted the lack of food and grass, and the pardon for your crime was for the sake of Liu Daxia's face of victory, as for posthumously sealing you, it was impossible, after all, you did not die properly.

However, corruption still exists in Gaomingcheng itself, for example, many problems have been found in this investigation. In the heart of Emperor Hongzhi, this matter can only be turned into a small matter, because Gaoming City is greedy for money, and most of it ends up in the royal pocket.

Zhu Youzhi "extrajudicial mercy" to Gao Mingcheng, had already released Gao Chong from prison and returned his wife and concubine.

Now he is ready to return the identity of the prisoner, and even paved the way for him, and when the Guozijian graduates, he can be an official in the court, if the big man behind Gao Ming City takes care of Gao Chong, Gao Chong may be able to go out as a prefect, climb up a little bit, and when he is old, he may become a prefect like his grandfather.

Min Gui was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, Gao Shilang's mansion has now been given to others. ”

"Oh? I remember, it was given to Shen Yude, right? Zhu Youzhu regretted a little at this time, and sighed quietly, "That's it, it's given, and then find another house for the descendants of the Gao family, as for the daily supply, according to the seven-grade official gift, the matter will end here!" ”

When Min Gyu heard this, he was secretly shocked.

The people of Gaomingcheng are dead, the emperor still remembers his good, Gaomingcheng's grandson is now just a prisoner, and he will be supported according to the seven grades, which means that in the future, Gao Chong will graduate from the Guozijian, and the officials will have to arrange at least an official position from the seventh grade, and this is still a six-department Beijing official, and it is from the sixth grade or the sixth grade in the place, which is higher than the level of the county.

After the meeting, a group of ministers came out of the Qianqing Palace, and Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian talked about Gaoming City.

“…… It is said whether the dead man has merit or not, but it is an indisputable fact that the living are treated! Xie Qian sighed, "That one can be regarded as a well-deserved death." ”

Ma Wensheng knows what Xie Qian means, all the people in Gaoming City are dead, and the emperor still remembers you, and you can comfort your life if you have knowledge under the spring.

Ma Wensheng asked: "What do you think of Shen Xi's matter, Yu Qiao?" ”

"Shen Xi's kid!? Hmph, he killed so many Tatars, he was afraid to die of going to the grassland, you didn't see his panicked appearance......" Xie Qian was a little proud, "Now I let him go to the mansion to teach the dog to study, and it is not in vain that I will protect him in front of His Majesty." ”

Ma Wensheng smiled: "Yu Qiao, do you want to open?" ”

"What do you want to open, just let him teach the dog to study, not let him enter the house." Xie Qian replied angrily.

"Then what does Yu Qiao think, what do I mean?"

In a word, Xie Qian was a little unable to get off the stage, Ma Wensheng clearly said about Shen Xi and Xie Hengnu, but he could only pretend not to know.

……

……

Shen Xi didn't know that he was finally replaced by Wang Shouren at the last moment, and at this moment he was worried that Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng would not be able to help him, and his heart was up and down.

Coming out of Li Jin's residence, Shen Xi was in a heavy mood and walked all the way home. When I walked to the mouth of the alley, I saw a large number of people gathered in the streets and alleys, as if someone was making trouble, and the place with the densest crowd seemed to be in front of his house.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "This is the enemy who has come to the door!?" I'm a Hanlin official anyway, and there are a few official offices around here, so are there anyone who is not afraid of death? ”

However, Shen Xi couldn't be sure if it was a colleague who came to give him a housewarming gift, so he could only bite the bullet, push aside the crowd and step forward, and entered the circle of people, only to see a few big men in robes, shoulders, fur hats and leather boots standing by the flower bed in front of the Shen Mansion, like a door god, and there was also a "big man" next to him, but this "big man" was not too rough and looked a little weak.

Shen Xi felt familiar, and when he looked closely, it was the Tatar Huo Aya who had followed the national teacher of the Dayan Ministry, Yisimain, to the palace and met with him.

He didn't know what the identity of this Huo Aya was, but he was able to be a deputy envoy for the national teacher of the Dayan Ministry before, and he wanted to have a certain identity in the Dayan Ministry.

Shen Xi once suspected that this Huo Aya seemed to be a woman, but she didn't dare to compliment her appearance.

The same force value is off the charts, the silly eldest sister Zhu Shan still has eight or nine points of appearance, she looks stupid and cute, sometimes she is cute when she thinks about it, and this one is completely violent and wise, but unfortunately it is destined to be Dong Shi and no salt without the slightest appearance at all.

"We're coming for him!" When Huo Aya saw Shen Xi, her eyes lit up and she shouted loudly.

The Tatars visited Shen Mansion this time, accompanied by officials from the Shuntian Mansion and the Honglu Temple, and a few people mobilized a large number of officials from the Shuntian Mansion and the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to escort them, for fear that these "barbarians" would "kill on a large scale" in Beijing.

Shen Xi said coldly: "I am a dignified court official, what are you looking for me to do?" ”

Huo Aya's Chinese was very fluent, and she looked at Shen Xi for a while, and then asked, "We, the descendants of the blue wolf and the white deer, want to invite you to the grassland as a guest, why don't you go?" ”

This was said too plainly, so that Shen Xi couldn't resist it for a while. The news that the Tatars had asked him to send an envoy was only circulated among the middle and high-level officials of the court, and even he, the person concerned, only knew about such a thing from his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, but as for who the emperor wanted, even those well-informed people in the Hanlin Yuan did not know.

Now Huo Aya told the matter directly in front of the onlookers, which was tantamount to exposing the secrets of the imperial court.

"What's going on?"

Shen Xi pointed to Huo Aya and looked at the people from Shuntianfu on the side.

Shuntian Mansion was only responsible for the experience of the seventh grade, he looked at Shen Xi nervously, and explained: "Lord Shen, it's not that the lower officials don't care, it's really the imperial court that has an order, and you can't embarrass these people...... The state envoys, they said that they would walk around the capital, and the lower officials could only accompany them, who knew that they ......"

Shen Xi probably understood what was going on, and it was needless to say that Huo Aya and the others had come to trouble him on purpose.

Shen Xi said: "Who the imperial court sends to the grassland is not up to this official to decide, this ...... Brother, please go back! ”

"Who is Brother Tai? This is our most honorable envoy, Lord Aya! "Someone among the Tatars spoke out to correct it.

Shen Xi thought to himself, a woman leading people to envoys, not only does she know Chinese, but also has a few retinues who are proficient in Chinese, in the grassland where the weak eat men, this woman is also an outlier.

"We prairie people, I want to see how powerful you are...... Why, don't dare to go to the appointment? Aya raised her saber to the hilt and asked, her eyes widening.

This move immediately frightened the people watching the excitement next to them, and the crowd retreated, and the officials of the Shuntian Mansion and the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division saw that the situation was not good, and they all copied the guys.

It's one thing for the imperial court not to let the envoys of the foreign feudal clan offend, but now these "barbarians" want to be rude, and they want to threaten the lives of the dignified and noble officials of the five ranks, then they can't ignore it.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to take the knife to him and let him experience how sharp the war knife of our grassland is!" Huo Aya glared at Shen Xi, and then explained to the officials of Shuntian Mansion and Honglu Temple.

Shen Xi shook his head: "The things of the outer domain, as a minister, I can't accept it, if you really want to give it away, please transfer it through the imperial court." ”

"Whoever wants to give you a gift, I will let you take a knife and go to the grassland to compete with our brave warriors!" Aya said angrily.

She handed over the knife, but Shen Xi actually refused to face to face, she looked down on people too much!

Shen Xi thought to himself: "It can't be that you want to recruit a golden sword horse, right?" It's a pity that you're not Hua Zheng, and I'm not Guo Jing, just like you, I don't want to give it to me for nothing! You still want me to go to the grassland with you, and I'll be happier if I kill you! ”

Shen Xiyi resigned solemnly: "I am a dignified civil official, I have been familiar with the scriptures since I was a child, and I am full of strategy, why do I want to compete with you barbarians!?" Have you ever heard of Zhuge Liang and Meng being tested in martial arts? Who won in the end? Brains are more important than brute force at all times! ”

"You coward, return the lives of countless sons of my grassland!" Huo Aya pulled out the knife with a "swish", plunged it directly into the ground, and shouted at Shen Xi.

Only then did Shen Xi know that it turned out that Huo Aya handed him the knife, and he didn't express his affection for half a point, but wanted him to be unable to stand the agitation, and he took the initiative to go to the grassland to "send him to death"!

But you're so clumsy, do you think I'm going to be fooled? It's a pity that there is no result in the court discussion now, and if Emperor Hongzhi finally forcibly sends himself to the grassland, then this trip will really not come back! (To be continued.) )
