After Xiao Jing left, Liu Daxia discussed with the people from the Ministry of War and hurried to Daming Gate.

At the same time, Xie Qiangang learned from his mansion that Chen Xi had won a great victory in Shaoyang, Baoqing Prefecture City, but the Silijian came to inform him of the eunuch who entered the palace.

For others, winning a war to annihilate 4,000 rebels can be remembered in history and become a great contribution to boasting about a dynasty. However, Xie Qian did not feel much surprise when this incident fell on Shen Xi. Instead, he took Chen's victory for granted such a great victory. Perhaps one or two failures would be more beneficial to training Chen Xi.

This is true for people's hearts. Even though he knew that Chen Xi had won again in Huguang, it was a great thing for both the country and Chen Xi personally, Xie Qian was always worried. While thinking that Chen Xi would win a few more battles, he was afraid that he would show his edge and the conflict with the civil servant group would deepen.

Xie Qian was calming down his mood and preparing to enter the palace to meet the saint. Mrs. Xu tidied up the court uniform for him. When she heard that her grandson-in-law had won a refreshing victory in the war to quell the local rebellion, she immediately smiled and was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth.

Seeing his wife losing her composure, Xie Qian frowned: "The Shen family's children have achieved only a trivial achievement. What are you happy to do? At the end of last year, he achieved greater merit in the battle of defense of Xuanfu and the capital. He is still the local governor. Do you think he can be promoted to the position of the title after he has won this great victory?"

Mrs. Xu smiled and explained: "Master, you're thinking too much. Lord Shen led the army to win, which is because he is capable. As for how the court awards rewards, it is second. When I think of Jun'er marrying such a capable husband, I feel an indescribable excitement in my body and mind!"

It would be fine if Xie Hengnu didn't mention Xie Hengnu, but Xie Qian felt a little annoyed when he mentioned his granddaughter. If Xie Hengnu was a matchmaker and married Chen Xi, he would of course feel relieved, but unfortunately his little granddaughter married into the Shen family just as a concubine.

Thinking of Chen Xi's insistence on letting Xie Hengnu leave for a short time after the confinement period, and even brought his children with him, Xie Qian felt unhappy. He also wanted to enjoy the feeling of living together for four generations. Unfortunately, even though his granddaughter was in Beijing, the Shen family never invited him to visit his grandson, and he didn't come to say hello to him before leaving Beijing. This made Xie Qian feel that Chen Xi was unauthorized in his work.

But when I thought about it, after Chen Xi left Beijing, he was embarrassed to invite a man into the inner house. Although this man was a respected elder, he was not in line with etiquette and law.

In addition, Chenxi people are in Huguang. Now they have settled down and want to bring their families to reunite. That is understandable. Xie Hengnu naturally hopes to reunite with her husband after giving birth to her son. This is human nature.

This made Xie Qian very conflicted. He not only hoped that Xie Hengnu would stay in the capital, but also felt that going to Huguang was good to his granddaughter. Xie Qian himself could not pass this hurdle in his heart, so he was sulking when he thought of this.

...

...

Xie Qian sorted out his court suits and took a carriage toward Dong'anmen, preparing to take a shortcut to enter the palace early.

At this time, Li Dongyang was discussing political affairs with Wang Hua, but suddenly there was news from the Ministry of War that Chen Xi had won a great victory in the southwest of Huguang. At the same time, Guilin Prefecture in Guangxi was in great trouble. All rebels were gathering in Guilin Prefecture. A storm was about to come, and Guilin Prefecture showed signs of loss.

Because Liu Jian was not on duty that day, Xie Qian also returned home early, and Li Dongyang did not dare to make a decision, so he quickly asked someone to go to Liu Jian's house to inform him.

As a result, the person who went to Liu's house to report the news had not left yet. The Ganqing Palace sent someone to inform Li Dongyang of a news that the emperor summoned the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and the cabinet and the Ministry of War were in the palace for questioning. Although it was not related to the rebellion in Huguang, Guangxi, Guizhou and other places, Li Dongyang could basically judge that the emperor suddenly summoned important military officials to the palace, and the question must be about military-related matters.

Wang Hua asked, "Binzhi, should you discuss with Young Master Liu first and then go to the Ganqing Palace?"

Li Dongyang pondered for a moment and shook his head flatly: "It's not suitable. If it's someone else, it's fine. You and I are in the palace. If it was later than the people from the Five Army Governor's Office in the past, Your Majesty will definitely be suspicious. If there is anything, you and I can discuss it on the way, and there is something to say before His Majesty!"

Li Dongyang was a little annoyed at this time.

Guilin Prefecture is in a hurry. This is not an ordinary city, but a provincial capital in Guangxi. Logically speaking, no matter how big the local rebellion is, it will never develop to the point of threatening the provincial capital.

Wang Hua has never had any experience in handling military affairs. He is now just a rush to put it on the shelves. Even though this matter has nothing to do with him, Li Dongyang still asked him to go to the Ganqing Palace together, as if he wanted to tell the emperor in this way that the cabinet now needs a think tank like Wang Hua to make suggestions, which is a bit of a clear idea.

Hearing Li Dongyang say this, Wang Hua had to follow him to the Ganqing Palace, but he was still thinking about how to avoid facing the emperor.

As an official of the Hanyuan system, Wang Hua is not unfamiliar with Li Dongyang in the palace, but he rarely goes to the Qing Palace. His main scope of activities is between the Wenhua Palace, the Zhanshi Mansion and the Eastern Palace. After all, he does not have real power at hand. Even though he is now a Hanlin scholar and even receives the salary of the Minister of Rites, he is still a lecturer in the Eastern Palace, not a real power minister.

On the way to the Ganqing Palace, Wang Hua said: "Binzhi, with my current identity, is it unruly to meet the rules when I go to the Ganqing Palace to meet? This time, Your Majesty did not only summon Liu Shaofu and you. There are always others present. If you meet rashly, Your Majesty may think that I am suspected of being usurped!"

Li Dongyang said: "You don't have to worry too much. If you don't speak after attending the meeting, no one will tell you whether you are qualified to speak. Previously, Young Master Liu had told Your Majesty that the cabinet was short of staff, Your Majesty acquiesced to you to attend the military plane... Of course, if you have any doubts about this, just wait at the gate of the Ganqing Palace first!"

Wang Hua was upset. He was just a Hanlin bachelor and had not yet entered the cabinet. He was tricked by Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, as if he was eager to be the minister of the cabinet. He didn't know whether he should advance or retreat at this time. If the emperor asked questions in front of the palace and publicly questioned, he would be dissatisfied and gained a bad reputation of "shortcoming quick success and instant benefits". It would be difficult for him to enter the cabinet again in the future.

Wang Hua always felt that he was used as a gun envoy by Liu Jian and Li Dongyang. He was a smart man. He knew that the emperor did not want to destroy the inherent ecological balance of the court and rashly increased the number of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Wang Hua did not want to become the center of the game between the civil service group and the emperor.

Because the two were in the palace, they first came to the Ganqing Palace. At this time, Xiao Jing, who had gone to the Ministry of War to ask questions, did not even rush back.

The two were waiting outside the Ganqing Palace. Logically speaking, they could go to the side hall for a while, but because this time it was the emperor's temporary questioning, the ministers would come one after another, and the questions in front of the palace would start at any time. There was no need to mess around anymore, and they didn't feel how tired they were when they walked this little road.

After waiting for a cup of tea, the second wave arrived, but this time it was not the Minister of War Liu Daxia or the Grand Secretary of Dongge Xie Qian, but the two brothers Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang and Zhang Yanling, who did not even Li Dongyang expected this.

Logically speaking, the two brothers do not work properly, so why did they come so quickly this time? There must be a reason for this.

Zhang Heling was almost half younger than Li Dongyang. He came over and bowed and bowed: "Sir Li, Mr. Wang, it's really rare. We're actually here to meet!"

After all, the Zhang brothers were not from the imperial examination and had little ability to speak. Li Dongyang frowned. If they hadn't had the rank of marquis, he wouldn't want to pay attention to them at all.
