As long as Shen Xi is involved, just say it, it may cause disputes in the court.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang have never been very friendly to Chen Xi and have repeatedly obstructed Chen Xi from becoming an official in the two capitals, but they did not make much obstruction when Shen Xi was released from local officials. Even Chen Xi was transferred to the trilateral general system and followed the suggestions of the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office and the Ministry of Personnel, and the vote was planned to be approved.

Now, because of Chenxi, a rift has occurred between the king and his subjects again.

In fact, it was not a big deal that Chen Xi brought 200 troops into the capital. With such a small amount of manpower, he could not even lift up a wave, but someone tried to belittle Chen Xi.

In the past, when Zhu Youzhang was alive, this trick was very useful, because in order to balance the relationship between court officials, Zhu Youzhang deliberately belittled Chen Xi's contributions and suppressed his position in the court. But now when he met the willful Zhu Houzhao, everything is different.

Zhu Houzhao had already had an objection to the court officials who were left by his father. In addition, he highly praised Chen Xi's talents, so anyone who was provoking them in front of him would be useless.

Zhu Houzhao only knew one thing. Mr. Chen had a good relationship with me and was particularly good at fighting. Who did I trust? If you have the ability, you should lead troops to the northwest to face the Tatars, otherwise you wouldn’t say bad things about Mr. Chen in front of me. I don’t believe that Mr. Chen wants to rebel, but I don’t believe that who made friends have a strong relationship? In the past, Mr. Chen took care of me everywhere and wrote books and toys for me. Who can compare this kind of intention?

When Zhu Houzhao left the Ganqing Palace Hall, she was still a little angry and said to Liu Jin: "Eunuch Liu, you said these people, you are idle and say bad things about Mr. Chen in front of me. Do you think they are worthy? When the Tatars invaded the territory and the troops were at the foot of the capital, one and two were pretending to be turtles. In the end, it was not up to Mr. Chen to turn the crisis into safety..."

"Oh by the way, I was also at the top of the city at that time, and I witnessed Mr. Chen's heroic appearance with my own eyes. In just a few days, hundreds of thousands of Tartar soldiers disappeared, which shocked me..."

"Those Tartars are not stupid. They know who they are afraid of, so they will definitely try their best to bribe Mr. Chen to slander Mr. Chen... These court officials have been talking badly about Mr. Chen, and they don't know who has collected the Tatars' money and wants me to destroy the Great Wall... I am not that stupid!"

Liu Jin was so angry, but he was helpless. The little emperor here highly praised Chen Xi, so he could only try his best to cater to Zhu Houzhao's ideas and sing praises to Chen Xi against his will.

Liu Jin said: "What Your Majesty said is that Lord Shen has made countless contributions at the northwest and the capital. The old slave was fortunate to follow Lord Shen to fight several battles in Quanzhou and the southwest, and witnessed Lord Shen's ability with his own eyes... That's really a magical skill. Any war, as long as Lord Shen is here, it's no problem to destroy it. The thief was killed all over the ground for teeth..."

Zhu Houzhao laughed: "I just said that Mr. Chen has the talent to contribute to the country and the world, and is both civil and military, and is very wise and brave. Some people like to say bad things about him. Liu Jin, this time Mr. Chen is going to fight in the northwest, and he needs a military supervisor around him. Do you want to work with him to make achievements?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was overwhelmed and quickly said, "Your Majesty, it is naturally a good thing to follow Lord Shen to make achievements, but I have gone to war with Lord Shen many times, so I should give this great opportunity to others. I want to be filial to His Majesty, may I... You dislike me?" After saying that, my face was full of grievance.

"That's all, I always feel that someone with ability should be arranged to be with Mr. Shen. I think you are good... Forget it, I will think about this matter carefully. I am going to go to the northwest with Mr. Chen. Then you will be the military supervisor and still be able to serve by my side. Wouldn't that be great?"

Zhu Houzhao was looking forward to the bright prospect of fighting with Chen Xi, but she didn't realize that Liu Jin was already covered in dust.

Liu Jin thought to himself: "You must not let Your Majesty go to the northwest. Not to mention the danger, but let me stay away from the capital's core power. So what if you can get your Majesty's trust? You may become what you think after you come back..."

...

...

Chenxi was on the way to Beijing at this time.

The Shen family was walking with two hundred officers and soldiers of the firearm camp, plus the original guards and brothers of the chariot and horse gang, the group was magnificent and unfast.

Chen Xi planned to return to the capital in late October, so that he could arrive in Yansui Town almost before the twelfth lunar month, replace Zhu Hui as the governor of the three sides, and command the three sides' defense.

Along the way, Chen Xi walked calmly, mainly because he knew that the war in the Northwest could not cause much trouble.

Even though the Tatars have recovered a certain vitality in the past two years, due to constant internal disputes, the scale of this border war is generally not large. It is just that the Great Wall in the Northwest was not repaired, and the trauma brought to the Ming Dynasty by the previous battle of the capital, which led to the court's small military operations of the Dayan tribe.

This time, Chen Xi and his family entered Beijing, not by water but by land.

By passing through the provinces and the provinces, Chenxi wanted to see the situation in the Central Plains so that he could understand the people's livelihood of the Ming Dynasty. As for the Grand Canal, he had walked many times. The route was basically the richest areas of the Ming Dynasty, and he did not need to do more investigation and understanding.

Chen Xi brought the guards and firearms camp in front, and the brothers of the carriage and horses to protect their families and walk behind. The two usually have a distance of two or three miles.

His family stayed in towns along the way. Chen Xi would occasionally gather with his wives and concubines for a night, and more often he spent the night in camps built by officers and soldiers in the field.

In early October, the group entered Henan.

This journey was faster than Chenxi expected. The roads in the Central Plains were flatter than in the south, with few rivers. Even if there were some rivers, bridges were basically built.

Before he knew it, Chenxi had introduced new crops for five years. He did not expect that some parts of the Central Plains would also start to promote them. However, according to his investigation, this was a spontaneous act of the people. After learning that the southerners had tasted the sweetness of new crop planting, they tried to introduce and plant them one after another. The result was naturally a big surprise. As a result, it became uncontrollable and spread rapidly from south to north.

Chen Xi often stopped the team on the official road, went deep into the fields to check, and after confirming that there was no major problem with the farming in the local area, he felt relieved.

"...Sir, there is news coming from the capital. Your Majesty allows you to lead troops into the capital..." That afternoon, Yunliu brought the latest news in the capital.

At this time, the team reached the wilderness three miles north of Xingze County, Kaifeng Prefecture, and was still ten miles away from the Yellow River Ferry to the north. Chen Xi had just ordered camping.

The further north, the colder the weather. The officers and soldiers who lived south of the Yangtze River for a long time were not adapted to the severe cold of October in the north. In their opinion, October should be clear and cool in autumn. As a result, they found that it was snowing in many places here and the temperature dropped sharply. Although due to the existence of the weaving factory in the industrial park, the officers and soldiers had already prepared cold clothes for winter, they were still not very energetic.

Chen Xidao: "I guess your Majesty hopes that I will bring more people by my side, just to see what power the firearm battalion is. He even wants to follow me to the northwest and make achievements."

Yun Liu felt a little incredible about what Chen Xi said, and asked stutteredly: "Sir, Your Majesty... You shouldn't have such an idea, right?"

Chen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That's because you don't know much about Your Majesty. Didn't you say that there were several strange cases of robbing a civilian girl in the capital? I guess the case is related to Your Majesty. With his nonsense personality, he might have done many ridiculous things when he left the palace."

"Now there are many civil and military officials left by the Emperor. Your Majesty will pay attention to his image and know how to restrain himself. In the future, he will take power by himself and will probably do more ridiculous things. This time I will return to Beijing and will not bring troops into the city. On the one hand, I will avoid suspicion, and on the other hand, I will be on guard against Your Majesty taking the opportunity to go to the northwest with me..."

The arrangements made by Chen Xi are very different from Yun Liu's idea.

Even if Yun Liu had any ideas, he would not have thought that the emperor would have the idea of ​​going to the northwest front with Chen Xi. Now that Shen Xi had not arrived in the capital, he had already started to prepare for precautions. With her understanding of Chen Xi, what Chen Xi said was probably the case.

Yun Liu was still amazed, what kind of person was the emperor? He was actually related to the case of forced robbery of a woman in the capital?

"Sir, this place is only seven or eight miles away from the official post at the Yellow River Ferry, and only three miles away from the Xingze County Town to the south. It is cold and cold, so why not station the post station or stay in the city instead of stationing in the wild? Even if you bring troops, such a few people can never beware of emergencies."

After Yunliu helped Chen Xi sort out the tent, she couldn't help asking.

Chen Xidao: "This time I return to Beijing will touch the interests of some people, and they should not let me return to Beijing easily. This time, I took the land route, which was beyond the expectations of many people. I also passed the city on the way north, but I just replenished food and supplies in some small towns, avoiding the eyes and ears of many people, reducing the danger again."

"In the end, although the number of people I brought was not large, I carefully selected them. I have been on the battlefield with me, killed people and saw blood. I have excellent weapons and equipment. Even if someone assassinated, I can still be prepared. If I live in an inn or inn in the city, I might be able to do so."

"The people who secretly conspired to plot against me have an official background. If they poisoned food or tampered with drinking water, they would have a high chance of being hit. It would be better to stay in a relatively open place in the wild to camp, and practice daily guards and patrols, so that officers and soldiers will not become slackened." Chenxi Road.

Yunliu then realized that she had to admire Chen Xi's caution.

Chenxidao: "The Yellow River is ahead. It is estimated that in ten days we will be able to return to the capital. After that, you will secretly escort my family back to the capital. I will take the guards to ride a fast horse into the city and go directly to the palace to face the holy."

"I will ask His Majesty to ask him to allow me to bring these Huguang troops to the northwest, and then the will to recruit food, grass, materials and weapons from Huguang will also be sent to the local area. This time I must prepare well in the northwest, and everything must go smoothly. Even if I really go to war with the Tatars, I must be sure to win."

Yunliu respectfully accepted the order: "Yes, sir." 8)
