Li Dongyang sat down, stared at Shen Xi with deep eyes, and asked, "The script that suggested that the northwest stop the attack, Xie Yuqiao adopted your proposal?" ”

In one sentence, Shen Xi realized that he was "sold" by Xie Qian, and thought: "Xie Lao'er put all the responsibility on me for self-preservation, let me shoulder this responsibility?" ”

If the war in the northwest is lost, someone must come out to take responsibility, and if Xie Qian refuses, someone else will need to take the cylinder! Prior to this, many people, including Li Dongyang, adopted the practice of moderation and self-preservation, did not make too drastic remarks about the war in the northwest, and echoed the emperor in many things, or followed the crowd. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This attitude of self-preservation has now been effective, and even if something happens at the border gate, it will not be on their heads.

In the face of Li Dongyang's aggressive questioning, Shen Xi said: "Before the Xie Pavilion Department went up, the lower officials did discuss it with the Xie Pavilion Department, and as for how many suggestions of the Xie Pavilion Department adopted the opinions of the lower officials in the recital, the students don't know. ”

Shen Xi didn't say too much, he didn't know how Xie Qian told Li Dongyang now, if Xie Qian didn't say it, Li Dongyang's words would be tantamount to putting himself in danger, so he could only try to be smooth...... Scholar Xie asked me for my opinion, as for whether he adopted it in the performance, please ask him himself, I will not admit to reading the recital of Xie Gelao.

Li Dongyang bowed slightly: "Xie Yuqiao told the old man that you are talented, and the old man still doesn't believe it, but from your answer, you can hear that being a person in the world is not revealed, and it is indeed not the wisdom that a young man who dances like an elephant should have!" ”

This seems to be a compliment, but no matter how Shen Xi hears it, it looks like a curse...... is still wise, to put it bluntly, it is sarcastic that he is good at perfunctory, and he only says three points when he meets people?

Shen Xi is not a fool, and neither is Li Dongyang, Shen Xi can basically judge that Xie Qian has said a lot of things to Li Dongyang, or has told him everything.

As for why Xie Qian trusted Li Dongyang so much, Shen Xi didn't know, but now Xie Qian's behavior shows that Xie Qian is in big trouble, and Li Dongyang is likely to be Xie Qian's lifesaver.

Li Dongyang stood up and beckoned, "Let's go." ”

Shen Xi was a little puzzled, where is this going?

Li Dongyang just asked if Xie Qian's recital had anything to do with Shen Xi, and then took Shen Xi out. Shen Xi secretly wondered...... This is going to drag me to Beizhen Fusi to torture and ask if there is any secret collusion with the Tatars? Otherwise, why would there be no prophet?

No matter how Shen Xi thought about it, he felt that things were unreliable.

Regardless of whether you admit the merits of the Battle of Yuxi a few years ago, let's just say that Quanzhou fought the Buddha Lang Jiren and the Southeast Ping Bandits, and the imperial court affirmed my merits.

Out of Wenyuan Pavilion, Li Dongyang did not go in the direction of the noon gate, but continued to the north, it seemed that he was going to the Qianqing Palace, Shen Xi thought to himself: "Is this to take me to the face saint?" ”

If Xie Qian came in person, Shen Xi would definitely ask what was going on, but he was not familiar with Li Dongyang, although Li Dongyang had given him some kindness, and was even the chief examiner of Shen Xi's exam, but the other examiner who would take the exam was already a few feet deep at this time, and Shen Xi would not be grateful to Li Dongyang for this.

But no matter what, Shen Xi had to admit that Li Dongyang had indeed helped him in the case of the Rites of Rites Meeting.

Scholars all over the world have irreverence for Li Dongyang, but Shen Xi retains a dialectical view, believing that Li Dongyang cannot judge impartially in many things, such as the drastic changes in the family of his own wife Xie Yun'er, that is, Li Dongyang uses the power in his hands to oppress people.

As for the historical evaluation of Li Dongyang's "enduring humiliation and burden" in the early years of Zhengde, in Shen Xi's view, it was a disguised "aiding and abusive", Li Dongyang protected some civil officials from persecution in the early years of Zhengde, but it was only people from his same faction, and some ministers who were not tolerated by him were abandoned, or even harmed in disguise.

After the fall of Liu Jin, the "eunuch party" in the public cabinet was Jiao Fang, but Jiao Fang was not the first assistant and could not be the master at all, and the real head of the "eunuch party" was none other than Li Dongyang.

It's just that the times need heroes, and they need a model of honesty and honesty who endures humiliation, so Li Dongyang will be shaped by history as an upright minister, and history remembers his achievements.

Li Dongyang was in front, Shen Xi was behind, and the two arrived at the main hall of Qianqing Palace, at this time the minister of civil and military affairs had almost gone, and there were only a few people left in the hall.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't even stay with him, only Xiao Jing was the only one among the eunuchs, and the one who was slightly rickety in the candlelight shadow was Xie Qian, and in addition to that, only Zhang Mao, Liu Jian and Zhang Heling were accompanied, and even Ma Wensheng and other six Shangshu also left the Qianqing Palace, Shen Xi didn't know if they were waiting for an audience elsewhere, or if they had gone home.

"Your Majesty, Shen Xi brought it."

Unlike others who call Shen Xi "Shen Hanlin" or "Lord Shen", Li Dongyang calls Shen Xi by his name, because Li Dongyang was the chief examiner of Shen Xi's examination, and he served as the marking officer during the palace examination, which is equivalent to sitting on the identity of Shen Xi's division commander.

The identity of the "seat teacher" in the imperial examination is quite noble, and Shen Xi must respectfully call him "Mr. Li" when he sees Li Dongyang, but Shen Xi does not want to classify himself as Li Dongyang's party.

Shen Xi hurriedly saluted and greeted: "Weichen Shen Xi, see Your Majesty." ”

This is the second time that Shen Xi has faced the saint when discussing national affairs, and the previous time was before he led the governors of the three southeastern provinces out of Beijing, and it was a court meeting at that time, and the specifications were much more solemn than now.

After all, he is a lecturer in the East Palace, and he used to be a Japanese lecturer, and he has attended the banquet and daily lecture, as well as the emperor's daily examination of the prince, or he saw Zhu Youzhu and his wife in the Zhufang Palace to see their son......

Zhu Youzhu smiled and nodded, with a sad smile on his face with a little relief, and raised his hand and said, "Shen Qing's family, please get up!" ”

The emperor was so kind and pleasant, Shen Xi guessed in his heart that he would ask for something when he was courteous, and the emperor didn't need to be polite to a courtier, just do business. If the emperor treats someone with courtesy, it must make people feel that the emperor's grace is immense, and the next rhythm is to arrange an extremely troublesome thing to let it be completed.

Zhu Youzhu didn't say anything, and praised Shen Xi's merits: "...... Shen Qing's family traveled far to the southeast, and after returning, it happened that I was unwell and difficult to meet...... Ahem, it's too much to support! ”

This is said very bleakly, as if the emperor has no one under his hands, and he needs his courtiers to take the initiative to stand up and help the emperor "share his worries". Shen Xi could only play his cards according to the routine, and saluted: "Weichen is willing to serve His Majesty." ”

"No, no, no, by my side, there are Old Master Zhang, Young Master Liu, Scholar Li, Mr. Xie, and Uncle Guo......" Zhu Youzhu mentioned all the people present, and finally remembered that Zhang Heling was also present...... Perhaps in the mind of Emperor Hongzhi, Zhang Heling, the brother-in-law, is just making up the numbers.

The emperor didn't mention Xiao Jing, because Xiao Jing belonged to a house slave, and no matter how good he was, he didn't need to be praised.

Shen Xi thought to himself, the emperor said that he had these people to help, but you let them work for you, why did you let me come? Needless to say, there must be something that these people can't help you, that is, going to Beijing on an errand.

Whether it is Zhang Mao, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian or Zhang Heling, they all have a common characteristic, they can only serve the emperor in the capital, and it is not appropriate to transfer abroad, the cabinet scholars are the emperor's secretaries and advisers, and will not be used as a messenger to carry out the emperor's orders abroad, Zhang Mao and Zhang Heling may be able to, but the emperor needs Zhang Mao to lead the five armies to stabilize the court situation, and he also needs his brother-in-law Zhang Heling to lead the Beijing camp to clamp Zhang Mao.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "Listening to what this means, I have just returned to the capital not long ago, and you want to transfer me out of Beijing?" Now the place where the imperial court needs me the most, needless to say, is the northwest, but the situation in the northwest is so chaotic, what can I do if I am sent there? ”

In the end, Zhu Youzhu said: "Shen Qing's family, I originally intended to recruit you to the three sides and lead the governor of Yansui, so I transferred you back to the capital from the southeast...... Unexpected...... Alas! ”

Shen Xi didn't know much about the defeat in the northwest, Xie Qian didn't explain it in detail, or maybe Xie Qian himself didn't know. At this time, Shen Xi analyzed it, and most of the responsibility for this defeat was attributed to Zhu Hui, the prince of the country.

No matter how big a mistake Liu Daxia makes, he needs to stick to the position of the governor of the three sides, under the principle that someone must betray his guilt in defeat, and Xie Qian's responsibility in the capital will definitely make the people of the world dissatisfied, so simply let Zhu Hui, who has always been cowardly and afraid of things, bear it.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "Could it be that Zhu Hui has been defeated and killed, and the imperial court has let a dead man bear the blame?" Even if his mind was full of questions, he still couldn't ask them, unless the emperor took the initiative to explain them.

Shen Xi continued to speak according to the "rules" and saluted: "I don't know what Your Majesty commands?" ”

Zhu Youzhi was full of embarrassment and said, "I ...... I didn't want to work Shen Qing's family to go to the northwest again, but the current predicament in the northwest always needs someone to resolve it. ”

"Mr. Xie recommended to me, introducing the great achievements of the Shen Qing family over the years, and said that in the art of war, few people in the DPRK and China can match. I originally wanted to appoint Old Man Zhang and Uncle Guo to lead the Beijing battalion to help the three sides, but now that I think about it, Shen Qing's family is outstanding, and may be the best candidate...... Please Shen Qing's family lead the governor of Yansui and go to the three sides! ”

When Shen Xi heard this "commanding request", his mood could only be described as "hehe", this mess of the war in the Northwest has to be wiped by himself in the end!

The errand of the governor of Yansui is destined to be inescapable!
