Chen Xi no longer cared about Zhu Houzhao at this moment.

Since the naughty child can come out of the Forbidden City, which is strictly guarded, there must be a way to go back. Now he is in a hurry to go to the Shouning Marquis' Mansion to see what methods the Zhang brothers will do.

When Chen Xi rushed to the Shouning Marquis Mansion, the Zhang brothers were discussing matters in the back hall of the Marquis Mansion.

Zhang Yanling had a deep grudge against Chen Xi. If he could choose, he wanted to put Chen Xi to death, but he knew that this time Chen Xi went on a battle for nine deaths, and it could even be said that there was no need to mess with him.

"...Brother, don't you think Chen Xi may come back from the northwest? At this critical moment, he went out of the frontier to die. This practice banquet can actually be saved!"

Zhang Yanling mentioned Shen Xi, and there was disdain in his words. In the past two years, he tried every means to investigate and gradually realized that the kidnap was mostly related to Chen Xi, but unfortunately he could not provide evidence. In his logic, anyone who offended him would not end well, and Chen Xi was no exception.

Zhang Heling admired Chen Xi very much and said, "This son of Chen Xi has made many contributions to the court. He is a second-rank official at a young age. He only waits for the prince to ascend the throne and enters the cabinet. He is a good general when he leaves, and he is in the court to manage his studies and keep the people safe. Such a good teacher now has to take on the heavy responsibility of Your Majesty to lead troops to the northwest. If the crisis can be successfully resolved, he may enter the cabinet early or serve as an official of the Six Ministry after returning. When will he not win over at this time?"

Zhang Yanling was amazed: "Did your brother praise him too much? A boy who has not grown enough to enter the cabinet? The official of the Six Ministry? Is he qualified?"

"Second brother, you don't know anything at all. Before Chen Xi was transferred back to Beijing, there were rumors that he would be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue... This guy may be a bit mediocre in using troops on the southeast coast, but he is a good at scheduling money and grain."

"Your Majesty is the only talent. The prince is now young. If you reserve talents for the prince, you will definitely be selected from young officials. Among all the young people, who can be more dazzling than Chen Xi?" Zhang Heling asked.

Now Zhang Yanling can't answer.

Among young officials, Chen Xi is indeed the most academic attainments and qualifications.

When Chen Xi was appointed as a lecturer in the Eastern Palace, the emperor's intention to cultivate Chen Xi as the prince's minister was already obvious. In Zhang Yanling's view, it was purely Chen Xi who was trying to die and insisted on teaching the prince something addicted to leisure and joy, which would make the emperor dissatisfied and transferred it out.

As a result, Chen Xi was more outstanding in a foreign country than in the Eastern Palace. In just a few years, Chen Xi had become a chief official in the border area. This time, if Chen Xi could really return victoriously like what Zhang Heling said, then the credit would be absolutely great. Under the principle that civil officials did not have the title of military title, Chen Xi was very likely to serve as the Minister of the Six Ministers, or directly enter the cabinet.

Although Chen Xi cannot be the leader, it is only a time before a person who is under twenty years old to be able to make an official position. In the future, it will be just a matter of time.

"How is the brother going to show kindness to him?" Zhang Yanling said, "This kid is not good at all, but... he seems a little lustful. He is not old and has married many beautiful concubines, including the eldest granddaughter of the elder's elder as his concubine... Then Xie Laoer is really shameless. As the chief minister, he actually gave his eldest granddaughter to Chen Xi as his concubine, which depreciated himself!"

"What do you know? I forgot about the fact that my father married several aunts and sisters to court officials for the sake of family revitalization?"

Zhang Heling mentioned that Zhang Luan married his daughter to an old guy like Xu Qiong as a concubine. Zhang Yanling looked very bad because it was a shame to the Zhang family. At that time, who mentioned the Zhang family that he did not quietly discuss behind his back that this was a down-and-out family who liked to use women to gain power?

But Zhang Luan's marriage strategy has achieved great results. It is precisely with the help of these in-laws that Zhang's daughter successfully became the crown prince and crown prince, and finally won the title of the queen, becoming the lord of the Ming Dynasty harem. Now when people talk about this, they only say that Zhang Luan has good vision and good methods, and is envious of her, but who knows what she thinks in secret?

Zhang Yanling looked ashamed: "Brother, don't mention this."

Zhang Heling said: "It was my father's endurance that created the current glory of my Zhang family. Perhaps the same is true for what Xie Qian thought in his heart."

"Although the Xie family has successors in the court, their abilities are limited, and their future achievements cannot be high, and they will definitely not be able to continue Xie Qian's glory today. Chen Xi is a new nobleman in the court. Xie Qian married his eldest granddaughter to use marriage to consolidate the status of the Xie family."

"I had never known before that the foresight that Xie Qian showed on weekdays was not his own opinion, but Chen Xi's plan. The great harvest he gained was obvious when he married a little granddaughter!"

Xie Qian would never admit that his views came from Chen Xi, but after the defeat in the Northwest, Xie Qian had no choice but to show Chen Xi's advice and other matters to the emperor. This was also the main reason why Emperor Hongzhi finally decided that Shen Xi would be ordered by the emperor in danger. Otherwise, Zhu Youzhang would send Xie Qian to the Northwest to lead the troops.

Isn’t you Xie Laoer very capable, have foresight, and have a strong sense of strategy and victory thousands of miles away. Then this time, I will let you go to the battlefield to lead the troops!

Xie Qian knew that a handful of old bones had gone to the northwest to deliver vegetables to the Tatars, so he could only push Chenxi to the top of the tank.

"How much can a young boy lead 6,000 troops to the northwest? It would be better to guard the capital like decades ago. No matter how fierce the Northern Yi is, at most he is only greedy for the wealth of the Ming Dynasty. After plundering people, animals and goods, he will inevitably retreat... Poor that Chenxi child, who can only go to the wilderness, will only add to the wilderness to the Tatars in vain!"

Zhang Yanling's tone was very bad.

Although Zhang Heling admired Chen Xi very much, he did not scold his younger brother because of outsiders. He just persuaded him: "Second brother, no matter what festival he had with Chen Xi before, today's banquet, you'd better be more restrained... Stay Chen Xi in the mansion tonight, and the dancers sent by Chuzhou this year were sent to accompany him."

"Brother, even if we know that this kid is lustful, there is no need for us to do what he likes, right? Or... the beauty who bid farewell to them, those dancers were supposed to find an opportunity to send them to the palace. Even if they don't send them to the palace, they can't be in vain, right?" Zhang Yanling quickly persuaded.

Zhang Heling sneered: "Don't think that you don't know your thoughts as a brother. Your Majesty is seriously ill, so how can you be greedy for women? But if you don't regain your heart and cultivate your nature, you will do something special about robbing people's women. If you advise the ministers in the court start to make trouble, it depends on how you end!"

Zhang Yanling's resentment towards Chen Xi had been greatly alleviated, but when he heard that his brother wanted to give Chen Xi several stunning beauties he coveted to him, his anger suddenly rose.

"It's not convenient for my younger brother to be cheaper than an outsider. As expected, my sister is more focused on her family!"

...

...

Chenxi is about to set off for war, and Ma Wensheng's mansion in the capital, Xie Qian came to the door with a shameless face to ask for more resources for Chenxi so that Chenxi can return safely from the northwest.

"...Yu Qiao, yesterday, you heard the decree of Your Majesty. Your Majesty appointed 6,000 troops. Don't say that I am in charge of the Ministry of Personnel now. Even if I am still the Minister of War, I cannot handle it. It would be better if you negotiate with Chen Xi and tell him not to be reckless and try to avoid war. When the Tatars retreat in the cold weather, they can successfully regain Yulin Cangcheng, which is a victory!"

Ma Wensheng looked helpless and clearly refused to help.

Xie Qian said: "Chen Xi thought the old man was hurting him, but now he doesn't even want to meet him. How can he tell him? This kid is stubborn and always likes to win in danger. No matter how much he says, it will be futile."

"Shangshu Ma, you have been in the army for many years and are so skillful that you might as well leave the city tomorrow morning to send him a piece of advice and give him a face-to-face. In addition, these six thousand soldiers and horses are plus eight hundred livestock. What do you think?"

Ma Wensheng narrowed his eyes.

This time, the Beijing camp went to war, except for the fact that horses were required to be used for the army to not collect at night, the cargo was transported by donkeys and mules. According to normal equipment, five people should be equipped with one livestock, and 6,000 soldiers and horses required a total of 1,200 livestock. Xie Qian said that adding 800 was meant to be three people and one livestock, so that there would be more materials and supplies to transport.

Ma Wensheng said: "It is not difficult to leave the city tomorrow, but these 800 livestock cannot make the decision!"

If it were someone else, Xie Qian would not have used a pleading tone, but Ma Wensheng was over 20 years older, and Ma Wensheng was a person who made outstanding contributions to the border of the Ming Dynasty during the Hongzhi period. Even if Xie Qian lowered his attitude, he would not feel humiliated.

"Of course you can make the decision." Xie Qian said, "Now that the martial law in the capital is in the capital, most of the livestock transporting food and grass logistics are in the circle. This battle can be said to involve whether the northwest can be successfully restored. If Shangshu Ma did not allocate more livestock to the children of Chenxi, the northwest will be in trouble, what's the benefit of these livestock staying in the circle?"

"this……"

Ma Wensheng was a little hesitant.

It is a serious violation of the rules to change the livestock equipment of the army that went to the expedition without authorization.

Moreover, this matter was not under the jurisdiction of Ma Wensheng, but under the jurisdiction of Taipu Temple. Taipu Temple involved the dispatch of chariots, horses and escorts, and his political orders to shed horses were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. As the Minister of Personnel, Ma Wensheng was in charge of personnel allocation, and it was not his turn to intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of War and Taipu Temple.

But Ma Wensheng served as the Minister of War for many years. After Liu Daxia served as the Minister of War and served as the General General of the Trilateral Governor of the Northwest, most of the affairs of the Ministry of War were responsible for Xiong Xiu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War. If Xiong Xiu could not handle it, he would come to ask his old Sima Wensheng for instructions.

Seeing that Ma Wensheng's attitude was relaxed, Xie Qian hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Isn't it just a matter of Ma Shangshu's words? It may help Chen Xi's children resolve the danger!"

"Since that's the case, I'll say hello to the Ministry of War and make arrangements overnight. I wonder if it's time to do it!" Ma Wensheng finally agreed.

Xie Qian smiled and said, "It's too late, it's just a few livestock. It's just a few animals. It's just a rush from one circle to another. I'll thank Mr. Ma for Chenxi's son."

Xie Qian bowed respectfully, Ma Wensheng waved his hand and sighed, "Yu Qiao, the other two cabinet ministers have been tired over the years. Thanks to your support of the government, you look much older. If Chen Xi could really return from the northwest, are you going to cultivate him as a candidate for cabinet ministers?"

“Too far, too far.”

Xie Qian smiled and shook his head, saying that this was not the case at all. But in fact, he had this idea when he was marrying his granddaughter, but he wanted Chen Xi to practice for a few more years before talking about it.

Ma Wensheng smiled and said, "If you don't want to promote, you might as well let Chen Xi enter the Ministry of War, let him start as the Minister of War, and let me lead him for a long time!"

ps: The second update!

Judging from his broken hand, I can only go through the third update today, but the emperor can guarantee that he has always been sitting in front of the computer and can't write it out. What can I do?
