Chen Xi cannot admit that he is young and mature in front of Zhu Youting.

In the officialdom, being mature is not a compliment, because being mature means being scheming and one thing behind the scenes when speaking and doing things.

"I felt a lot after talking to Chen Qing's family." Zhu Youzu sighed, "This coastal land has been repeatedly banned. After all, it is the fault of the sea ban. However, the ban is important and the matters involved... I am afraid of being inadequate in thinking, so I dare not make a decision rashly. After Chen Qing's family arrives at the local area, they should manage it with care and must not act voluntarily."

When Chen Xi heard this, he knew that it was a foregone conclusion that he had gone to the southeast coast, and Emperor Hongzhi would not give him the chance to refuse.

"Abide by the order." He could only accept the order respectfully.

Zhu Youzhang explained some precautions, nothing more than how Chen Xi could appease the people after she went to the southeast. But even in the end, Zhu Youzhang did not explain Chen Xi's exact task clearly.

Chen Xi roughly understood that he wanted to go to Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang to quell the bandits. As for the official position and identity he was in charge, he could only wait for the subsequent decree.

At this time, Chen Xi didn't even know whether he was a regular or a deputy envoy.

After facing the saint, Chen Xi retreated and walked out of the Ganqing Palace Gate. He looked up at the blue sky in the distance, and knew clearly that he would be busy again in the future. At the same time, there were still questions about whether he could take his family with him during this errand. If he was to the local government as an imperial envoy, he would not want to take his family with him, but if he was appointed as a local official, he could still take his family on the way.

It’s just a matter of identity, there will be such a big gap!

Of course, Chen Xi hopes to bring Xie Yuner, Lin Dai and others with him so that the journey will not be too lonely, but he is afraid that his relatives around him will not be able to withstand the tossing, especially since Xiao Shenping is less than one year old and has been traveling for thousands of miles, children are prone to symptoms of disagreement.

Chen Xi decided to go back to the Zhan Shi Mansion first to see if there were any changes in work. As a result, after leaving the palace, he just came to the gate of the Zhan Shi Mansion, and saw Xie Qian walking around outside the door with his hands on his hands.

Because Xie Qian, the Grand Secretary, was in, the people from the Zhan Shi Mansion had to bypass the gate and enter and exit from the back veranda. Xie Qian was like a door god, blocking the way for the people in the Zhan Shi Mansion to enter and exit.

"Are you back? Come with me." Xie Qian came here to wait for someone. After seeing Chen Xi, he greeted him and walked towards the street in front.

Chen Xi hesitated for a moment and followed quickly. After walking for a while, Xie Qian turned his head and asked, "How did Your Majesty explain it? You said to me in the original form!"

Chen Xi didn't want to answer. Liu Daxia reported his contributions to him, but Emperor Hongzhi did not give him any rewards. He just felt that he had real skills and wanted to transfer him to the southeast to quell the bandits, but in the end he was released.

For Beijing officials, exile is not a good thing. This is also the fundamental reason why Xie Qian had such a big reaction when Chen Xi proposed to transfer to the local area.

You are so stupid that the emperor is inappropriate, but you go to be a foreign minister. Is this a careless person?

But now, it was Xie Qian, Liu Daxia and others who joined forces to push him out as a foreign minister. Although he was an imperial envoy, he was a hard worker and had to fight with pirates and Japanese pirates. No matter how you look at it, it was not a light business.

Chen Xi did not say it out in person, but just picked out the key points and briefly said. After hearing this, Xie Qian nodded and said, "Your Majesty respects you very much."

You, Grand Secretary Xie, are you really good at speaking. Are you trying to make me grateful? It shows that this is the emperor's valuation of me, not that the emperor is disliked by me and is ready to "exil to" me?

Can't you say something nutritious?

"Gemaster Xie, I wonder what responsibilities Your Majesty is going to send students?" Chen Xi asked, "The students are still unsure of it."

Xie Qian smiled and waved his hand: "You will know when you look back, but you must remember His Majesty's instructions. When you arrive at the local area, don't do anything wrong."

Chen Xi thought about Xie Qian's words, "The word "rule" sounded uncomfortable," which made him feel uncomfortable. Could it be that in the mind of Master Xie, I am the person who makes me "rule"?

But this just shows that the errands the emperor assigned him gave him great authority. If he was just a deputy, he would not be qualified to do anything wrong.

From the perspective of power, a lecturer in the East Palace who was having a free meal in the capital became a rank of ranks with real power. Of course, it was a rank of ranks of ranks.

Have power in hand, and do things without being restricted everywhere.

You can do things according to your own ideas and display your ambitions.

The most important thing... You, Grand Secretary, don't think about choreography for me to do this and that in the future. I will be responsible for myself in the future and no longer need to wipe your butt.

"Students remember." Chen Xi respectfully accepted the order. Even if he pretended, he would pretend to be more like him. Then he immediately proposed, "Master Xie, the student is about to leave the capital and may not be allowed to return to Beijing for several years. I wonder if... can the marriage with Ling's granddaughter be advanced?"

Xie Qian's face changed: "What do you mean by boy? Is it... about to marry Jun'er?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Ms. Sun is fifteen years old and is at the age of waiting to marry. If the student is away for a long time... he is not allowed to return, isn't he missing the marriage?"

"Hey, are you afraid that I will go back on my word? You kid..." Xie Qian felt annoyed and cursed Chen Xi first, and then said, "Just go, I have something to say first. If you finish your job, you will not be able to return for a long time. Even if the mountains and rivers are far away, I will send people over..."

Chen Xi shook his head and said that he would not accept it.

What you mean is that if I finish the job, I will send someone over. If I don’t do it well, or even have some problems, would you marry Xie Hengnu?

As an official, Chen Xi is passive everywhere, but as a man, Chen Xi has absolute initiative in the marriage he has already made.

Xie Qian is in a position of high power and can't bully people with power on your granddaughter's issue. I am now marrying your granddaughter in advance on the grounds of going to another place to become an official. Do you agree or disagree?

"You...are you going to threaten me?" Xie Qian said with a stare.

Chen Xi shook his head: "The student just wanted to marry Miss Xie earlier so that he could let go of his concerns and do his best to do his best to do things for the court."

"Then what you mean is... If I don't agree to send Jun'er over, you can't do your best for the court?" Xie Qian asked.

Xie Qian thought to himself, you kid, I finally got a grammatical disease. I say that, it depends on how you answer.

Chen Xi smiled but said nothing and actually agreed, which made Xie Qian feel angry.

Okay, you kid hasn't grown enough, but you started playing this trick with me. If you can gain skills in the future, wouldn't it be a rebellious?

After returning, Xie Qian had nothing to say. Since he agreed to the marriage, Chen Xi was going to travel far now, and it was reasonable to marry Xie Hengnu. If he interfered with it and the matter was spread, he would lose his face.

"Then you go back and prepare. My granddaughter is a concubine. Although she is a concubine, etiquette is indispensable." Xie Qian threw a sentence, called the guards and sedan chairmen who were following behind him, and sat in the official sedan chair and ran away.

Chen Xi smiled when he saw this, and then hired a carriage and went home.

...

...

As soon as Chen Xi talked about the introduction of marrying Xie Hengnu, Xie Yuner immediately started to prepare.

Zhou was a little dissatisfied: "Silly, the daughter of the old master can't get married, why are you so anxious to get married? Isn't you really... hidden disease?"

"Mom, I won't hide anything from you. In fact, I have to act as an official from afar. I may not be able to return to Beijing for a long time, so I'm in a hurry to get the marriage done." Chen Xi told the truth.

"Long travel? How can this be done? You have just been promoted. I am still waiting to enjoy the happiness of you in the capital. You can leave as soon as you say...what should I do?"

When Zhou heard that Chen Xi was going to be an official in the local area, he directly objected.

Xie Yuner quickly explained: "Mom, where is my husband going to be an official? It is an errand assigned by the court, and my husband cannot make a choice on his own."

"What can't be decided? Let him explain to the court, can he be unkind?" Zhou said angrily, "My father and I have not lived a few good days in our life. We finally got out of his grandmother's control and thought that how many days would we have to live in the capital... By the way, silly kid, you go to the local government to be an official, where can you go?"

Zhou seemed to realize that he was useless to be pretentious with Chen Xi. Chen Xi was appointed as an official by the court. Instead of complaining, it would be better to ask the matter clearly.

Chenxidao: "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a generation to Fujian and Guangdong, not far from Tingzhou."

"That's good, hey."

Zhou stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, nodding with satisfaction, "You are a fifth-ranked person. After you go back... I can be proud of my fellow villagers and neighbors. It seems that you can't be the prefect with your official position, right?"

Chen Xi nodded. This time he went to the place to perform his duties according to the imperial envoy's standards and would definitely not be the prefect of the local area.

"Oh, if you don't become a magistrate, you won't be a magistrate. You have only been an official for a few years. Even if you become a magistrate, your mother will be content. Can you tell the court that you will be a magistrate of Ninghua County? Let your father and mother return home with you?"

Zhou's requirements were not high, and he just wanted Chen Xi to be the magistrate of Ninghua because it was convenient for her to go back and enjoy the glory between the Shen family and the neighbors.

Chen Xi shook his head: "Mom, I didn't become a magistrate when I returned... You look down on me too much, right?"

"But what's wrong with the magistrate? I heard that after passing the Jinshi exam, it's best to be a magistrate. If you have been a good person, you might be a magistrate. In a few years, you might be a magistrate!"

As he was talking, Zhu Shan hurried in and panted, "Master, someone is coming outside, saying he is an official of the Ministry of Personnel. I don't know much, please go out and take a look."

Chen Xi thought that after the emperor met, the Ministry of Personnel should also send the letter of appointment.

Chen Xi did not talk nonsense to Zhou, and when he came out, the Ministry of Personnel sent someone to send the official certificate outside the Shen family. This time it was more solemn than Chen Xi's right son who was promoted to the previous few days.

"Mr. Shen, congratulations, you have been promoted again."

The officials of the Ministry of Personnel came up and looked complimentary. Needless to say, they asked for silver rewards.

Chen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

If the promotion to the right son before was "highly promoted", this time he was just an official rank, but he was actually being released from outside. It is a normal external adjustment after a few levels, so he cannot be considered an promotion.

But after seeing the official position, Chen Xi was really shocked

"Control the military affairs of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, supervise the law on food, pay and salt management, and also governor of Guangdong, right deputy censor, and official third rank."

Chen Xi was promoted from the fifth rank of Beijing to the local government and was directly promoted to the fourth level to perform the position. Although he was not responsible for local administration, he was restrained from the coastal military affairs of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi.
