Shen Xi's face became ugly.

If Emperor Hongzhi had not been very determined to send him to the grassland, Ma Wensheng would definitely not have come to ask him specifically, indicating that he still had a great chance of becoming a messenger who arrived in Yanbu Xuanfu.

The main reason is that the envoy of the Dayan Ministry named him, and Emperor Hongzhi tried to meet the reasonable requirements of the other party in order to re-establish relations with the Dayan Ministry as much as possible to express goodwill, and this is also an important manifestation of the sincerity of the Ming peace talks.

But it is also well known that the Tatars did not believe in their words, and it was only a year after the repair was completed, and the situation of the Tatars committing the border appeared. As the leader of many Tatar tribes, even if the invasion of the border pass in the past year was not led by the Dayan Ministry, there was an element of connivance and participation of the Dayan Ministry.

Shen Xi knew that if he didn't know whether he was alive or dead at this time and put forward some suggestions for the envoy, maybe Ma Wensheng would really recommend him to go to the grassland to "exercise".

Shen Xi asked himself, the certainty of returning safely from the grassland is less than fifty percent, even if he is safe and sound, he will be accompanied by a period of isolation and review after returning to the court, which is really not cost-effective.

"The students don't know much about the affairs of Fanbang, and they also ask Ma Shangshu to speak on their behalf, and students can't receive such an important errand." Shen Xi knew that it was useless to say anything now, Ma Wensheng had actually done what he could help him, and now it was up to Emperor Hongzhi to choose. The emperor insisted on sending him out, and Ma Wensheng did not hesitate.

But Shen Xi still has to show a "I can't go" attitude, so that Ma Wensheng will fight for him more.

I have made such a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty, if you don't give me credit, you can't send the great hero to the grassland to die, right?

Ma Wensheng nodded, and then asked about the prince's studies, and soon the carriage arrived at its destination.

After Shen Xi got off the car, Ma Wensheng did not stop, and the carriage quickly went away and disappeared at the mouth of the alley.

Shen Xi didn't feel a good feeling in his heart, he had just returned to the capital, and after less than a month of stable life, he might have to go to danger again.

When I got home, I had already packed everything I had done.

After two or three days of tidying up, everything at home was on track, and Shen Xi slept alone for the past few days, feeling very relaxed, and it was rare that no one harassed him when he slept at night.

In the past, Shen Xi really wanted to be full of nephrite when he slept at night, or a woman leaned on him, or he leaned on a woman's arms, but when he really entered the siege of marriage, Shen Xi found that this lifestyle was sometimes quite tiring.

While owning a woman, you have to be responsible for everything she has, pay due care, understand her, and understand her inner world.

Relatively speaking, it is Yin Wen who gives him the most relaxed feeling, Xiao Nizi will not always pester him to do this and that, there is nothing superfluous, and there is no need to do anything to her, he can only see him all the time, and he will be very satisfied.

Shen Xi entered the study, took out a pen and paper and began to write, he was about to sort out the scattered words that he had seen on his desk in Zhan Shifu a few days ago.

Until now, Shen Xi didn't know who left those things for him, but now the situation was obvious, if he didn't do anything, it was likely that Emperor Hongzhi would really send him to the grassland. Once Emperor Hongzhi made up his mind, even if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were opposed, nothing would change, and it was impossible for Xie Qian and others to anger the emperor for him.

Writing this is tantamount to fighting for yourself, and you can't go to the grassland no matter what.

Anyone else can go, if Shen Xi goes, it is likely that the Tatars who have disturbed the good things will divide the corpses of the five horses.

What I saw before were scattered words, there were some ideas, but the context was not very clear, and now what Shen Xi had to do was to tidy up the joints and form a set of practical strategies.

Due to the strength of the Dayan tribe in the steppe, friendly communication with the Dayan tribe was essential, but it was possible to secretly support those opposing forces, and even use the Uliangha who had previously submitted to the Ming Dynasty to cause trouble for the Tatars.

In addition, after Shen Xi went to Yulinwei, he had a deeper understanding of the frontier defense, and the top priority was to repair the Great Wall with those open gates, increase the number of Franc machine guns in each pass, and add careful and meticulous patrols, especially in the north of the Yulin Acropolis, and build another fortress, so that it would be extremely difficult for the Tatars to enter and exit the Great Wall at will as before.

After about an hour, a document with both practical suggestions and many ideas was completed.

The full text is more than 3,000 words, Shen Xi read it carefully, put down the upper sparseness, and stretched his waist, this feeling of writing his own article made him feel comfortable, and when he raised his head, he noticed that the sky had darkened.

Before Shen Xi walked to the gate of the courtyard, the door creaked open, and Xie Yun'er walked in with a big belly and a basin of hot water, with a washkerchief on her arm.

Xie Yun'er lowered her head and said, "Xianggong has a busy day, take a hot water face to relieve fatigue." ”

Seeing Xie Yun'er's virtuous appearance, Shen Xi couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart, she was about to be a mother, and she needed her husband's care the most, but at this time, Shen Xi gave her a lot of trouble, making her in an embarrassing situation at home, and even Yun Bo, the old man of Xie Mansion, didn't dare to show too close to Xie Yun'er, for fear of angering Shen Xi.

"Put it down." Shen Xi's tone was flat.

"Hmm."

Xie Yun'er put down the basin and was about to help Shen Xi dye the washcloth, Shen Xi said, "I'll do it myself." ”

Xie Yun'er's face was full of disappointment, she had just put the washcloth in place and was walking towards the door, when she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist, but she was hugged by Shen Xi from behind.

Shen Xi took Xie Yun'er in his arms, rested his head on her shoulder, and said softly: "These days, have you complained about me?" ”

Xie Yun'er had a little shame on her face, and immediately shook her head: "It's the concubine's fault, and the public is punished." In the future, the concubine will no longer dare to make assertions, let alone hide anything from the princess......"

"I won't bother with your own private affairs, there is always some space between husband and wife." Shen Xi Zhengse said, "But if it involves me, or a major matter in the family, no matter what you do, you have to discuss it with me, if you think there are some things that should not be done, you can put forward your opinions, and I will make a decision after comprehensive consideration." ”

"Hmm."

Tears of happiness flowed from Xie Yun'er's face, which was purely moved by Shen Xi's forgiveness of her.

Shen Xi wanted to carry Xie Yun'er back to the chair, but thinking that she was pregnant, she didn't dare to make too many moves.

When the husband and wife sat on the same chair, Xie Yun'er said with a self-reproachful face: "Xianggong, the concubine heard about it...... Miss Li is dead......"

The Li family's case was reopened after the new year, and the trial was quickly concluded, and the Li family's bribery, "bullying men and women", "hoarding" and other crimes were announced, and Li Jin's death was no longer a secret.

At this time, Shen Xi chose to conceal Xie Yun'er, nodded and said, "I have also heard of it." ”

"It's all the fault of the concubine, I heard that Miss Li hanged herself in prison, or because the husband refused to help, and she ......was disheartened."

Shen Xi shook his head, there were some things he really couldn't say. While he asked Xie Yun'er to be honest with him about everything, didn't he have a secret in his heart?

If he said that he had no selfish intentions towards Miss Li Er, even Shen Xi himself didn't believe it.

……

……

The next day, Shen Xi handed over Shangshu to the General Administration.

Shen Xi didn't believe that Xie Qian would still put down his upper sparseness, in fact, he was also thinking about whether the words on his table before were left by Xie Qian, the purpose was to wake him up and let him find a way to actively save himself.

After the sparseness, there was no movement that day, Shen Xi sorted out the lecture and got off work from Zhan Shifu very early in the afternoon.

Song Xiaocheng also said when he saw Shen Xi in the past few days that the prices in the city had fallen to a very low level, and even the poor and remote county towns of Tingzhou Mansion had a higher cost of living than the capital.

At least so far, Shen Xi didn't feel the pressure of life, he didn't have any requirements for food and clothing, the imperial court rewarded so much, and his money was enough, and after Shen Mingjun and his wife arrived in the capital, they sent him a lot of the silver they had accumulated before for him to use in officialdom.

But at present, Shen Xi doesn't want to use silver to open the way for his career, not that he is honest and honest, but he feels that the promotion obtained through this way will have an accident sooner or later.

Shen Xi didn't plan to do much in the Hongzhi Dynasty.

Everyone else wants to be transferred to the capital as an official, and now he is thinking about how to be transferred inside and outside in two or three years, but he also asks himself that this method of avoiding political turmoil is not a good strategy, because many things will need to be faced by him sooner or later.

In the face of the political storm in the early years of Zhengde, with his current identity, is he really capable of turning the tide?

In the Ming Dynasty, the will of the emperor is the supreme will of the country, as long as Zhu Houzhao is concerned about Liu Jin and others, then Liu Jin will gain power, and history will still follow the trend.

Thinking about things, Shen Xi took the hired carriage to the courtyard where Li Jin lived.

He wanted to tell Li Jin the news of the Li family, and he didn't help him in this matter from beginning to end.

In the small courtyard, it is as quiet as ever.

Li Jin was already a "dead man" in the household registration of the imperial court at this time, and even she herself did not think about what kind of life she would live in the future, the scenery of the Li family was long gone, and the family property was confiscated by the imperial court.

The little maid and the old mother hired by Shen Xi to take care of Li Jin's daily life, Shen Xi did not enter the room, but asked Li Jin about the general situation outside, and learned that she was in a calm mood these days, and she never proposed to leave to go out to have a look, nor did she act excessively, as if she had accepted her fate to be a canary in this cage for a lifetime.

"The master is here, do you need to take refuge for the time being?"

The old mother is very good at being a person, she thought to herself, the old man who hired her to settle people here for a few days, but she never came, it must be that the family is busy with things, and there is no time at the beginning of the year.

Now that the New Year has passed, it must be to take care of the outer house, and in the future, I will often come to stay, or even spend the night.

But the yard is too small, and it is a bit of an eyesore for her and the maid to stay here, so she has to ask if she wants to avoid it first.

"I'm just coming over and having a look, and I'll be there later." Shen Xi's expression was calm.

Pushing open the door and entering the room, Li Jin sat in front of the dresser, even if he looked haggard, but at least he looked much better than when he first came out of prison, even if the place was cramped, there was food and drink after all, and she didn't need to do anything.

"Madam, the master is here." The old mother reminded.

Li Jin seemed to have understood what his identity was, and stood up to salute Shen Xi, calling him "master" on his lips, and respectfully saluting him.

Shen Xi noticed that Li Jin's hair ornament had changed, and he had coiled his hair up and fixed it with a hairpin, which was the dress of a married woman.

Perhaps, even she thinks that she was bought back by Shen Xi and raised in the "outer house" outside.

"It's not a master, it's not a madam, for the time being, I have to call you Miss Zhang." Shen Xi said, "This is just a place for you to live temporarily, I will arrange for you to go elsewhere after a while, even if you want to leave the capital, a place of right and wrong, I will give you enough entanglement." This is your ...... of household registration."

Shen Xi took out the credential of Li Jin's new identity from his arms and put it on the table.

Li Jin's face was calm, and he asked softly: "The master sent the concubine away, where can the concubine go?" ”
