It is said to follow the principle of voluntary action, but it is actually forced.

Xie Qian did not give Chen Xi any chance to consider it. He directly asked Chen Xi to read the content and asked him to sign the message.

Whether there is a name for Chen Xi in this book is very different.

Zhu Houzhao highly praised Chen Xi, and even reached the point of blind obedience. If the impeachment memorial contained the name of Chen Xi, it might be important for Zhu Houzhao to pay attention to it, otherwise, there would be no hope of success.

When Xie Qian saw Chen Xi carefully reading the manuscript, he asked with a little complacent attitude, "Now, what are the shortcomings of this memorial to impeach the eunuch party?"

Chen Xi handed the manuscript back to Xie Qian, and his mood was unstoppable: "It's basically not bad!"

"What did you say?"

Xie Qian's old face was wrinkled. I wonder if it hadn't been washed for a few days, but there was a bit of mottled color on it. "What do you mean by this?"

Chen Xi replied: "Since it was a memorial discussed by Mr. Xie and all the important officials, he must have referred to the opinions of all parties and learned from the strengths of the families. What can I make? Of course, I can only say it is not bad..."

"Hmph!"

Xie Qian asked dissatisfiedly, "It's just not bad? You might have to give a higher evaluation... Of course, there are not many people who have learned this article. If you think it's really inappropriate, I will obey your opinion! Do you think I am the kind of person who doesn't get into the oil and salt?"

Chen Xi thought to himself, who knows who is! But his face was still silent. He shook his head slightly: "I really have no objection. At best, I just wrote a name on this memorial to impeach the eunuch party. The specific implementation depends on Master Xie and the ministers in the court."

"I will not participate in this matter. I asked Your Majesty to talk to Your Majesty about impeachment of Wei Bin, which has caused His Majesty to be displeased. If it were not for the argument, I am afraid that Your Majesty would reject the Queen Mother's imperial edict."

"Gemaster Xie should understand that the major affairs in the court will ultimately depend on Your Majesty's opinions. If Your Majesty feels that the impeached ministers should not retreat, then even if these people are related to Liu Jin, it is impossible to hurt them... Besides, without Liu Jin taking charge of the overall situation, how much impact will these people have on the government?"

Xie Qian raised his hand to interrupt Chen Xi and reiterated: "I did all this to eliminate the roots!"

Chen Xi really wanted to ask, is it important to eradicate the roots, or is it more important to maintain a harmonious relationship with the emperor?

This problem is extremely sharp. Chen Xi knew that Xie Qian would not compromise on this matter. To put it bluntly, Xie Qian, who had experienced three dynasties, had his own pride and persistence.

Chen Xidao: "If Master Xie has nothing else to do and the student has surrendered, the Ministry of War still has emergency military affairs to deal with!"

His attitude has shown that Chen Xi doesn't want to talk nonsense to Xie Qian anymore.

Xie Qian frowned and thought about his thoughts. After hearing Chen Xi's words, he said, "When it comes to military affairs, you have proposed to send troops from the Jingji to Xuanfu to assist the Xuanfu. I have not discussed it with you yet."

Chen Xi had a headache. He really didn't want to get entangled with Xie Qian. Zhu Houzhao had already agreed. Chen Xi could not write to the emperor for Xie Qian's opinion. Besides, it was not easy to see Zhu Houzhao. Every time he met the saint, he would cause him a lot of trouble. Some things would be exempted if they could be avoided.

Chen Xidao: "What's wrong with the Master? Even though I say it, the student reminds me here that many things have been decided by His Majesty, and I'm afraid there is no chance to change them."

"Are you putting pressure on me? Do you think I don't even understand the most basic rules?"

Xie Qian said coldly, "You sent local troops to the capital to fight, but I have no objection. This group of people stayed in the capital was an unstable factor... Don't you say that the nobles put pressure on me, in fact, there have been complaints on the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Even the upright ministers in the court have many questions about this, believing that the stay of local troops in the capital will affect the stability of the court."

Chen Xi slapped his mouth, which roughly means that since you have no objection, it’s best to be happy and there is no need to say anything.

Xie Qian glared at Chen Xi and said, "But your suggestion was not discussed in the court. It was just that in the temporary military meeting, only officials from the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War attended the meeting, they hurriedly settled the matter. It can be seen that if any mistakes are made, how serious the consequences will be?"

Chen Xidao: "Old Master Ge wants to say that students do things in a non-compliant manner and need to change them?"

Xie angrily said, "This is the first time I have said this to you? Once or twice, I can tolerate it, and the court officials will not say anything..."

"Before, Liu Jin was in the court, and because he was determined to deal with the eunuch party, the court officials would not criticize you too much, but now you have become the target of public criticism. Everyone envies and jealous of you, not only because you are young, but also because you are favored..."

"Some people in the court have long thought that you are the next person who will harm the country and the people, but you have no such enlightenment at all!"

Chen Xi's breathing became heavy. He didn't want to argue too much with Xie Qian on this issue.

Most Chinese officials in the court were jealous of the virtuous and capable, they were incompetent, stupid and incompetent, but they were irresponsible about other people's talents and achievements, and even if others did not do anything out of the ordinary, they would take it for granted, as if they had foresight.

These people are very upbeat. Even if they attack others for no reason, they can still say that they are to prevent problems before they happen. If there is, they will be corrected and encouraged. To put it bluntly, they will be shameful.

Chen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Georg Xie believes that if there is anything in the future, the ministers in the court must discuss it before making a decision, rather than letting it rashly to Your Majesty... Is that what I mean?"

"Just know, do I need to reiterate this small request? Do you want to become an alternative in the eyes of ministers in the court, even if you are in a high position, you will be impeached every day and live with your Majesty's trust? Have you ever thought about how you can handle yourself in the court if you lose your favor one day in the future?"

Xie Qian was unreasonable and said sternly.

Chen Xi looked determined with determination: "Since Master Xie said that, let's express his simple opinions."

"explain!"

Xie Qian twisted his beard and looked at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi tried to calm his tone: "Since we talked about this military meeting, I will explain... After Your Majesty ascended the throne, he basically did not care about the affairs of the court, and all matters were basically in the hands of Liu Jin. It is rare that Liu Jin was exiled to be exiled. It was when he was to rectify the chaos and restore order in the court. What I, the Minister of War, can do now is to make His Majesty interested in military affairs..."

"I wanted to discuss the situation yesterday with the court officials, but are there any opportunities and conditions? Your Majesty insists on taking the initiative. Can I propose to Your Majesty to ask the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Six Ministry and Seven Ministers to come over, and after discussing in detail, then make a decision? Will Your Majesty agree?"

Xie Qian frowned tightly, as if thinking about Chen Xi's words.

Chen Xi still did not give up and continued, "The court meetings are all stopped now, and it is difficult for the ministers to see Your Majesty. Today, the foreign relatives proposed to organize 4,000 troops in the Beijing camp to go into the expedition team, which was obviously to compete for military merits and cause trouble for me. But because the foreign relatives could communicate with Your Majesty, I didn't even have the qualification to object to the imperial edict... Can the cabinet master understand how awkward, a favorite minister in your eyes, did things?"

If someone else said something to refute him in front of Xie Qian, Xie Qian would have been furious and drove him out of the door. But if he said it from Chen Xi, Xie Qian would be cautious. After thinking about it for a while, he sighed:

"Yihou, I know that it is difficult to be an official now, which is what you expected when you returned to the court. I give you an opinion, not to cause trouble for you. Your honor, disgrace, rise and fall in the court are directly related to my reputation... Can't I stand you safe?"

Chen Xi thought to himself: "You thank the old man for my goodness, but more for the sake of face. Sometimes you even ignore morality, etiquette and law to suppress me purely, and regard what you say as the golden rule!"

Xie Qian continued: "What you are reminding you now are some principles of dealing with people and life. If you can restrain yourself and cultivate yourself, who can compete with you in the court? Not to mention being a minister of the Ministry of Personnel or the chief minister, just saying that you continue to stay in the Ministry of War is enough to make you shine your ancestors..."

"You must remember what I said today and do not make any decisions in the future. If the result you discuss with the court officials is unreasonable, it is not your responsibility alone. Even if the opinions you put forward alone are appropriate, they will be attacked by others and inappropriate! This is the court!"

Because Xie Qian said this, he was serious and gave priority to Chen Xi's interests. Even if Chen Xi was impatient, he could only put away his previous aggressive attitude and bowed:

"Since Mr. Xie said that, I just follow your advice and act as unremittingly as possible in the future! I have to mention more specific matters."

...

...

Hu Lian led a large army to fight.

Wang Lingzhi, Ma Jiu, Jing Yue and Song Shu can be regarded as four generals under Hu Lian, and the only one who can truly stand alone is Wang Lingzhi.

Ma Jiu and Jing Yue have some skills, but have never seen big scenes. As for Song Shu, it lacks practical experience. In terms of status, Song Shu may be the highest, but in terms of actual combat experience, Wang Lingzhi, who has been fighting the Tatars on the three sides for many years, has been better.

Chen Xi had no objection to this expedition.

The war in Xuanfu was not over yet, and Liu Jin could not return to the court. The capital was thriving. All factions in the court were robbing Liu Jin of the power that was scattered outside after leaving. Even if there was an internal strife, it would not be too fierce.

Zhu Houzhao didn't show up for several days.

Chen Xi wrote a letter several times, asking Zhu Houzhao to go to the Ministry of War to discuss the frontline war. There was no news as if the stones were sinking into the sea. I don’t know if Zhu Houzhao saw the memorial.

The change that Chen Xi can see is the rapid rise of the foreign relatives.

Those who defected to the brothers of Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling began to gradually gain real power. Even Liu Yu, Liu Ji, and others who were impeached and were still at the forefront of the storm, began to consciously move closer to the foreign relatives party. In this way, the power that Liu Jin lost was basically tilted towards the foreign relatives party.

Xie Qian was very anxious when he saw this situation and submitted memorials and impeachments several times in a row. Unfortunately, even if he had not seen Zhu Houzhao, it was difficult to determine whether the memorial was delivered to the emperor.

Because Liu Yu and other eunuchs were important officials of the court and were not eunuchs in the palace, they could not use the skills they had to ask Empress Dowager Zhang when impeaching Wei Bin before. Now they could only follow the path of Zhu Houzhao. However, because he did not summon ministers, despite the turbulent feelings in the court, they could not convey their opinions to Emperor Zhengde.

Liu Yu and Liu Ji and other eunuch party backbones have become smart now and are very low-key in their work. The situation of selling official positions and titles has not happened again. These eunuch party members have begun to seek new backers, and the Zhang brothers who are taking over power have become the targets of these people's resignation.

On July 20th, Xie Qian and other civil servants finally couldn't help but go to the palace to meet the saint.

The place where they made an appointment was the Ganqing Palace. Two ministers, Xie Qian and Wang Jiao, led the way. The six ministers went to the Minister of Justice Tu Xun, and the rest were ministers of the ministers and ministers of the temples of each temple.

Xie Qian originally wanted to let Chen Xi go with him, but considering that he might have to kneel down in the palace this time, he delayed it for a long time, and was afraid that something would happen outside the palace, especially when someone was making trouble for the Ministry of War, so he finally chose to give up. This was exactly in line with Chen Xi's intention... He never thought of taking the initiative to fight with Liu Yu and Liu Ji and completely breaking up with each other.

Even if these people should be dismissed from office, it is not the moment in Shen Xi's opinion. As long as Liu Jin's crime is settled, it will naturally scatter, and there is no need to target it alone.

But later Chen Xi thought about it again. Without evidence of rebellion, it was impossible for Zhu Houzhao to be sentenced to death by Liu Jin. As long as the emperor's servants did not commit a death sentence, they would basically not lose their status. The worst thing was that they were imposed and unemployed. When the emperor remembered it in the future, it would still be possible to re-activate it.

Just like Xiao Jing, the eunuch in charge of the seals in the former Sili Supervisor, Xiao Jing was unemployed several times and was activated several times. This is exactly the way for the royal family to use people. If you want, use you. If you don’t want, stand aside.

...

...

On that day, Xie Qian and others entered the palace. Chen Xi knew about it, but ignored it. After all, he had a lot of business to do.

The front-line battlefield changed, and the Tatars' attacks on Zhangjiakou Fort from Xuanfu were not as fierce as before. It was probably because Wang Shouren's sticking strategy worked and faced the temptation of military merits, Wang Shouren maintained the greatest calmness and adopted a harassing defensive strategy.

When the Tatars attacked, Wang Shouren asked his troops to withdraw from the city gate. The Tatars were stationed and sent people to harass them, and they were all harassing them by cavalry.

Even if the harassment is minimal every time, the Tatars went out to fight and did not rest well when they were not adapted to the local conditions, which would lead to many mistakes on the battlefield.

Wang Shouren began to harass this endless harassment. The main force of the Tatars was the Dayan army. No matter how capable he was, he was still fooled by Wang Shouren.

As for the troops brought to Xuanfu, Hu Lian had no chance to fight against the Tatars for the time being.

After Hu Lian led his troops to the war, although there were a lot of news, they were basically daily briefings. Hu Lian was not very good at collecting intelligence. Chen Xi saw some simple reports of situations, which were much simpler than the investigation results of his own intelligence personnel or the military newspaper sent by Wang Shouren.

In the morning, Chen Xi sorted out the information at the Ministry of War in the morning, and went to the military school in the afternoon to teach and explain the use of the battle formation.

There were about thirty students listening to the class, all of which were carefully selected by Chen Xi.

Before the class started, Chen Xi received news that Xie Qian, Tu Xun and others had come out of the palace. The specific reason was unknown, but Chen Xi knew that these people must have not seen Zhu Houzhao when they entered the palace.

Chen Xi started class, but before halfway through, the guards outside came in and reported that Xie Qian had arrived.

Chen Xi could only put down the lesson plan at hand, let the students review their homework, and then go out to greet them in person.

Xie Qian was busy for most of the day and looked very tired and stood there listless.

"Georg is..."

Chen Xi just asked for advice, but was interrupted by Xie Qian's hand.

Xie Qian said angrily: "From the morning until now, I haven't even drank water. I went in and talk... By the way, aren't you very busy here, right?"

No matter how busy he was, Chen Xi could not say that. After all, this was the visit of the chief minister of the dynasty. Chen Xi had just welcomed Xie Qian into the side courtyard, and there were guards outside reporting that it was Zhou Jing, the Minister of Rites.

Xie Qian frowned: "What did he do? How blessed, did you ask him to come?"

Chen Xi said helplessly: "I thought it was Mr. Xie and Mr. Zhou who arrived when they made an appointment, but I never thought... Mr. Ge didn't know why Mr. Zhou came?"

Xie Qian waved his hand: "Forget it, since Old Man Zhou is here, you can go out to greet him in person. Everyone gathers together and just talk about today's affairs... Oh, by the way, let's continue to arrange it. If someone else comes, don't say you are not allowed to enter, even if you report it!"
