Chen Xi did not want corrupt officials under his command, but knew that corruption among officials in this era was inevitable. After all, the salary set by Taizu was too low, and officials could not survive even if they were not greedy. Therefore, the principle he has always adhered to is... As long as these officials did not affect the livelihood of the people in the Ming Dynasty, they would be released first, and they would not offend others.

But if local corrupt officials are lawless, and the heavens are angry and people are resentful, Chen Xi will not let it go. After all, under his rule, if too much oppression triggers civil unrest, he, the highest chief of the two provinces, has to be responsible, so once he finds that something is wrong, he has to figure out the matter before he can calm down.

Early the next morning, Chen Xi, Yunliu and Xier had breakfast together. The two girls were ordered to investigate the local situation. Chen Xi had just returned to the guest room on the second floor of Guanyi to sit down. Ma Jiu brought people to report... Since the dam was built in the early summer, Chen Xi appointed Ma Jiu to inspect Huguang and the Yangtze River in Jiangxi. On the one hand, it urged the local government to build river embankments and lake embankments, and on the other hand, it inspected the hydrological conditions along the Yangtze River to prevent accidents.

"...Master, now the river water has fallen below the cordon, and no major danger has occurred on both sides of the river. Now the prefectures and counties have basically withdrawn the people stationed in the river embankment, leaving only a few people to monitor..."

Ma Jiu is the kind of person who always strives for the best in his work. This time he came to Chen Xi to report his life, his face full of wind and frost, which shows that he has exhausted him in the past few months.

Chen Xi praised: "Thank you for your hard work, I'll have a good rest when I'm back this time. If there is anything, I'll notify you! The return journey is not so urgent this time. We just need to go home before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Ma Jiu went to the guest room downstairs, while Chen Xi sat down to see the letters he had received in the past two days.

Among these letters, there are reports from local governments to inform the people's livelihood situation in various places, and letters from the capital. They were written to him by Xie Qian and Liu Daxia, telling the situation in the capital.

There is also a letter from home. Since leaving Wuchang Mansion, almost a few days later, there will be letters at home. Xie Yuner will list and tell him that the majority of the articles about Zhou family account for. Obviously, Zhou family is unable to stay idle and always does something. In the end, Xie Yuner helps solve this problem. Chen Xi was quite helpless. Who said that he had such a mother?

However, what made Chen Xi most confused was the situation in the capital.

"Xie Qian still has not realized the huge impact that Liu Jin's rise has brought to the court. Should I write him a letter to him, asking him not to be so impulsive when he goes to advise the emperor, and stay in the court and continue to be his cabinet master. Once he is impulsive and returns home, he will not only be full of honor and destruction in his life, but will he also affect the village?"

Chen Xi clearly knows the historical development context, but because of the butterfly effect caused by his time travel, many things have deviated, and perhaps many major events will not develop along the original trajectory.

In history, Xie Qian was determined to "disagree with the crisis, and to go against the peak and directly attack", and joined Liu Jian to persuade Zhu Houzhao. As a result, Zhu Houzhao "retraces his words" and did not adopt the opinion of killing Liu Jin. Xie Qian and Liu Jian resigned from their posts and returned home in anger, creating Liu Jin's power in history.

If these important officials who were entrusted by Hongzhi were not so arrogant, even if Liu Jin was in power, he would not completely suppress the civil servant group. After all, it was the evil consequences caused by the civil servant group's own willfulness.

"Tell Mr. Xie, he certainly doesn't believe it. He always acts as a young and ignorant person and will not listen to me. But if I don't remind me, I always feel sorry for him. I have to remind him so that he can know the right way..."

So Chen Xi solemnly wrote in his reply: "...You should not fight for the affairs of an official in the country..."

...

...

Capital City, Xie Mansion.

Xie Qian was in a bad mood that day and cursed while eating. After returning to the study, he still felt very resentful.

"...Boy, I've been writing to him for more than a month, but I don't know how to write a reply? Everything in the south is peaceful now, and nothing can be delayed, and I can't even take out the time to reply to the letter? Did he feel that his wings are hard and throw me aside and ignore me?"

"Hmph, how much did I run for Gao Ji before to get his peace? Is it time to cross the river and destroy the bridge now?"

Just when Xie Qian was resentful, the housekeeper was anxious and rushed in without even knocking on the door of the study.

"do what?"

Xie Qian looked at the butler and immediately found the letter in his hand and asked, "Letter from the South?"

As he spoke, Xie Qian was very happy. He was complaining just now, and Chen Xi's letter was sent immediately, and his voice was trembling. It seemed that he had been waiting for this letter for a long time.

The housekeeper replied happily: "Yes, master, it's the lady who has come back from writing a letter!"

The butler's words seemed to pour a basin of cold water on his head. Xie Qian frowned: "Miss? Which lady?"

The housekeeper was stunned, and after a while he replied, "Master, it's Miss Changsun, the one who married Chen Zhuangyuan..."

Xie Qian's face suddenly became unfavorable and he blamed: "My granddaughter, who has been married, will I come back from writing any letters without any trouble, and am not afraid of blame from my husband's family? Go, call out the wife and tell her that Miss Sun has returned from writing the letter... It's really, it makes me vain... Cough cough, go quickly!"

Xie Qian took the letter from the butler, looked at the beautiful small characters written by Xie Hengnu on the envelope, and felt mixed feelings in his heart.

It is a good thing for Jun'er to write a letter back, but why doesn't Chen Xi'er's reply come with her?

When Xie Qian complained in his heart, Mrs. Xu hurried over after hearing the news. She was also accompanied by Shi Xiaojing, the wife of Xinke Tanhua Xie Pi.

After Xie Pi's palace examination in high school, the Xie family was filled with laughter and joy.

Xie Pi is now an editor in the Hanlin Academy and is a seventh rank. Although Xie Qian lost power, it did not affect Xie Pi's future... It would be fine if there were three Jinshis in one school, but now it is still one school, two Hanlin, and even two father and son, which was a legend in the Hanlin Academy. Xie Pi was highly respected.

"Master, Jun'er is back from writing a letter?" Mrs. Xu asked happily as soon as she arrived.

"Um!"

Xie Qian had a dark face and handed the letter forward, saying to Mrs. Xu, "Look at it for yourself!"

Mrs. Xu was born in a scholarly family and was about to reach out to pick it up, but immediately thought that doing this was unruly, so she shrank her hand back: "Master, just read it and listen to it, how can I read it casually?"

Xie Qian said angrily: "I am the old master of the dynasty. What is the ethics of reading my granddaughter's letters? Let my daughter-in-law come!"

Mrs. Xu's face was full of smiles, not because Shi Xiaojing helped read the letter, but because Xie Qian called Shi Xiaojing "daughter-in-law"... In the past, Xie Qian did not recognize Xie Pi's identity as her son, after all, she had been adopted by her brothers. But now Xie Pi is in high school, Xie Qian is proud of Xie Pi, and Shi Xiaojing is also recognized.

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Xiao Jing, let me give you a mother, how is this girl in the south?"

"Ahem!"

Xie Qian cleared his throat, obviously blaming Mrs. Xu for calling Shi Xiaojing this... The girl's boudoir name cannot be called out casually in her husband's family.

Mrs. Xu glanced at Xie Qian. Although she didn't say anything, she clearly expressed her meaning. Master, you have been too busy with matters.

Shi Xiaojing read the letter roughly and said, "It was Jun'er's letter to report safety. The Shen family and her team have arrived in Wuchang Prefecture smoothly!"

Mrs. Xu looked at her husband, and Xie Qian nodded slightly: "It should be two months. The time for this letter to arrive is just right... The Shen family returned to Fujian to attend the funeral of Mrs. Shen's grandfather. It was rumored that the Shen family members intended to separate their families, but in the end they could not divide the family. Shen Xi's brother Shen Liulang was the juren, which made the Shen family much more excited! Unfortunately, Shen Liulang did not make progress in the imperial examination this year..."

Mrs. Xu was a little surprised at first, and then smiled and said, "Master, Jun'er is married into a scholarly family. The sixth doctor in the Shen family is here... Lord Shen is the Qilang of the family, right? Haha, the Shen family's future attainments should not be underestimated!"

Xie Qian said coldly: "Is he just a poor man, can he compare with our Xie family?"

Xie Qian is very stubborn about family background. He has always been proud of being a member of the Xie family in Yuyao. The reason why he chose Chen Xi as his grandson-in-law was that he valued Chen Xi's ability and future, and he looked down on the Shen family.

Mrs. Xu knew her husband well and smiled and said, "Okay, I can't tell you the master. Now that Jun'er has arrived in Wuchang Mansion, she should be reunited with Lord Shen... Just reunite. She should not be bullied in the Shen family, right?"

Mrs. Xu was asking Shi Xiaojing to find the answer in the letter, but Xie Qian said first: "He dares! I thank Yu Qiao's granddaughter and marry Chen Xi, which is my appreciation for him. If he bullies my granddaughter, I will see if I..."

"Master, you can't always use such words to squeeze people. After all, the Shen family is not bad. Lord Shen is already an important official in the court before he gets old. He is still studying at the age of 20... Okay, I won't say anything. Master will do whatever he thinks. Xiao Jing, let's go back to the room to read the letter. The family was talking about Jun'er before, but now he can finally let go of the big stone in his heart!"

Mrs. Xu said, and she was about to pull Shi Xiaojing away.

This made Xie Qian very anxious. Xie Qian also wanted to know what his granddaughter wrote in the letter, but before he was just watching the power of the head of the family and knew nothing about the content of the letter.

"Let's go... wait until I read the letter before leaving!" Xie Qian stood up and stopped Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu raised her head and looked ignorant, as if she was angry with Xie Qian. Shi Xiaojing couldn't help but secretly cover her mouth and laughed.

After Xie Qian snatched the letter to read, Mrs. Xu gave her husband a blank look and said, "Since you are concerned, why didn't you read it first? There is no such thing as a master. You obviously care about it, but you act carelessly... People's hearts are full of flesh, and Jun'er is outside. I always say in my heart, hoping that she will be good, Lord Shen, too. If Jun'er can add another male child to the Shen family, it would be even better!"

"If a daughter's family cannot even spread out her branches and leaves, the evening will be miserable... Master, do you think so?"

Xie Qian was reading the letter and said "hmm". Obviously he didn't hear what Mrs. Xu was saying, but just responded casually.
