On August 16, Shen Xi slept until three poles before getting up, it was rare that the courtyard was quiet, and the future was uncertain, but he became calm inexplicably, and even dreamless all night, and when he opened his eyes, he felt refreshed, but he thought that he would embark on a journey in the coming day, and his heart was still a little heavy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When he returned to his room last night, he slept on the bed, and when he got up, he only tidied up his clothes a little, felt hungry, and came out of the room, almost hitting the kneeling man at the door.

Shen Xi stopped to see clearly, and realized that it was the maid who disturbed his dream yesterday.

This maid "grabbed" him directly from the bed last night, annoyed him, and consciously knelt in front of the door, but how could Shen Xi be angry with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl?

Someone was waiting at the door, Shen Xi had to go to the kitchen to serve the food by himself, rolled up his sleeves and said: "Get up, be clever next time, no one likes it...... Go to the kitchen and bring breakfast to the room! ”

The maid raised her head when she heard this, but she didn't see Shen Xi's face yet, so she retracted her head in fear, answered "yes" timidly, stood up and walked outside the courtyard gate.

Shen Xi moved his muscles and bones, and was about to go out to fetch water, when two twelve or thirteen-year-old little maids came over with a basin of water and a washcloth, they should have gotten the news that Shen Xi had woken up and took the initiative to come to serve.

"Not bad, yes, you have eyesight!"

Shen Xi is more encouraging and appreciative of little girls of this age, although they are not very cute, but in the end, they are still young, and the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, maybe they will be beautiful and generous in the future?

The basin was placed on a wooden shelf in the corner of the courtyard, Shen Xi leaned over and washed his face, the sun above his head smoked people warmly, and as soon as he finished washing, he handed over the face cloth next to him.

Shen Xi wiped two handfuls casually, and looked at the two little maids sideways, Yun Bo's two daughters-in-law obviously had a limited aesthetic level, and the two little girls were wearing old clothes worn by Lu Xi'er or Yin Wen, which looked good, but they always felt a little awkward to match.

The two little maids looked at Shen Xi with a smile on their faces. Life here is much better than when she was under Aunt Zhu Liu, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and there is only one master in the house, so you have to rush to do the work...... They all have a strong sense of crisis and know that anyone who does not do well will be eliminated from the house.

Shen Xi was originally stuck with a girl who was about to be fifteen or sixteen years old, but these two "gifts" with pigtails, Shen Xi looked very pleasing to the eye, and he didn't plan to send them away.

It just so happened that Lin Dai, Xie Hengnu, Yin Wen, and Lu Xi'er all needed someone to take care of them, although Yin Wen was self-reliant, he still had to have someone to help wash his clothes or something; Xie Hengnu is pregnant with Liujia and needs to be taken care of; Lin Dai is lonely, and someone has to be there to relieve her boredom.

Shen Xi is going to leave these two little maids, one by Lin Dai's side and the other by Xie Hengnu's side, as for Yin Wen, just find a big girl with quick hands and feet.

"I don't know what happened to Yun'er? When Xiaowen returns to the capital, maybe he should marry her little interpretation flower and enter the door, alas! It's a pity that I don't know if this battle in the northwest can be successfully returned! ”

Shen Xi's mood became depressed again.

This trip to the northwest was an opportunity for Shen Xi to prove himself, but the resources and conditions given to him by the imperial court were too harsh, and the 6,000 foot soldiers were obviously unable to fight the Tatars, and now they could only hope that the Tatars would focus on how to move the spoils back to the steppe after the plunder.

After all, the winter of the Xiaoice River period will come in October, and the Tatars should not spend the winter on the land of Daming, which is almost late August, at most two months, the war will end, Shen Xi is not thinking about how to annihilate the invading Tatars in one fell swoop, but thinking about how to survive these two months.

The emperor gave Shen Xi the authority to lead the troops and recruit and collect the remnants of the army, and he also had the royal order banner in his hand, and he had the power of life and death on the three sides.

Theoretically, the chief military officer of each town is responsible for the war in the northwest, but in fact, all soldiers and horses must obey the orders of the governor of the three sides and the governor of each border town.

Judging from the current situation at the border gates, among the governors of the border towns, the governor of Yansui is the top priority, so Shen Xi can be said to be second only to Liu Daxia, the governor of the three sides.

Just when Shen Xi finished washing his face and thinking about things, Yun Bo hurriedly came in from the gate of the courtyard and said, "Master, someone from the yamen is here!" ”

"Oh."

Shen Xi threw the towel to the little maid and went to the gate of the mansion with Yun Bo, but it was the officials who officially delivered the documents for Shen Xi's "promotion".

Unlike the previous Daoxi, the secretary of the ministry who came this time knew each other very well, but handed over the official to Shen Xi and congratulated him, "Lord Shen, congratulations on your promotion." You're busy with military affairs, I'll go back first! ”

No one wanted to stay longer, because martial law had been declared in the capital at this time, and it was not very convenient for even the people of the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials to travel, although the middle and lower-level officials and people of the major yamen in the capital did not know what was going on, but it was expected to be related to the war in the northwest.

Shen Xi was promoted to the governor of Yansui at this moment, and most of them had to lead the troops to the northwest to fight the Tatars, and the officials understood that this was not a good errand, so that they just said "congratulations", and did not even ask for the reward, so as not to stay in the eyes, and be angered by the new "right capital imperial history".

Shen Xi opened it and took a look, and there was no violation of the promise given to him by Emperor Hongzhi yesterday, Shen Xi from this moment on, officially promoted from the temporary post of "Right Deputy Capital Imperial History" to "Right Capital Imperial History", and received the errand of "Fuyan, Sui, Qingyang, Counselor Military Affairs".

This time Shen Xi did not go on the road alone, but set up a prison army, the name of this prison army Shen Xi is not unfamiliar, but it is Zhang Yong, one of the "Eight Tigers" in the early years of Zhengde, and also the great eunuch who later overthrew Liu Jin.

"Sir, you ...... You've been promoted again? ”

Yun Bo was literate, and after a glance at the side, he saw that the word "deputy" in Shen Xi's original "Right Deputy Capital Imperial History" was gone, so it was naturally an official promotion.

Shen Xi didn't explain the matter to Yun Bo last night, at this time he closed the official seal and sighed: "What's so good about being promoted, I'd rather be the same as before, An An is divided into the right from the five grades, and only goes to the East Palace to give lectures to the prince a few days a month, so you don't have to work hard for state affairs like now!" ”

Yun Bo doesn't understand the structure of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and he doesn't understand that the promotion of the right deputy capital to the right capital of the imperial history is a full promotion of two levels, and he only knows that it is a good thing for his master to be promoted.

Shen Xi returned to the front yard hall, put down the official seal, and waited for a long time and did not see the food delivered, Shen Xi frowned, and greeted: "Uncle Yun, please go to the kitchen to inform me and send the food over, after I eat, I will go to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and then I am afraid that I will have to meet the generals of the Beijing camp." ”

"Yes, sir."

Yun Bo hurriedly went out to spread the word, but before he reached the door, he saw his two daughters-in-law coming, and he scolded the two daughters-in-law, blaming his daughter-in-law for not doing things well.

At this point, Shen Xi couldn't tell whether he had breakfast or lunch, in short, the food didn't taste good, just just eat a little to pad his stomach, and after eating, Shen Xi took the official to the yamen of the ministry.

After that, he had to go to the military department and the governor's mansion of the five armies to see what arrangements were made on both sides, and at the same time receive the customs clearance document and the seal letter of the general and official position.

Now the Beijing camp is under the control of the Zhang brothers, Zhang Heling has already said that he will hold a banquet in the Hou Mansion in the evening, Shen Xi understands this to mean that Zhang Heling is responsible for the dispatch of soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, and he only needs to go to the Shouning Hou Mansion at night to meet the generals who went with him.

Shen Xi roughly estimated that the Zhang brothers would definitely take the opportunity to send the generals who usually did not like their eyes to follow Shen Xi on the expedition, whether these people had no money to take care of their bosses, or whether they had unruly personalities, or that anyone who touched the hob meat had a headache, Shen Xi had to see him to know.

But it can be expected that in the Beijing camp like a big dye vat, there are probably very few generals who can get out of the mud without staining.

When Shen Xi came back from the southeast to report on his work, he basically did not see the first or second leaders of the yamen, and this time was no exception, the entire capital and the large and small yamen in the DPRK were shrouded in the shadow of the defeat in the northwest, and the officials were in a hurry.

However, in the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, Shen Xi saw Zhang Yong, the overseer who accompanied him to the northwest.

Zhang Yong was around forty years old, and when he saw Shen Xi, he was smiling, in fact, the two of them could be regarded as "old acquaintances", after all, Shen Xi had been in the East Palace for so long, and Zhang Yong, as a well-known eunuch in the East Palace, although he was not a regular attendant, he often met with Shen Xi.

"Lord Shen, thank you for taking care of it all the way!"

Zhang Yong said with a little pleading to Shen Xi, because he knew that this trip to the northwest was more auspicious, and the eunuchs of the supervising army always liked to put on a show in front of the commanders of the three armies to get some benefits, but now Zhang Yong is just praying that he can save a small life and come back, then thank God.

Shen Xi said: "Gonggong Zhang is polite, in fact, it is my luck to be able to serve the imperial court, and I hope to support each other along the way." ”

Seeing that Shen Xi was so polite, Zhang Yong suddenly felt sympathy for the same disease, and almost wiped his tears.

The two talked for a while, talking about the expedition to the sun, Zhang Yong will go to Beijing later, and will not return to the palace at night, even the luggage has been prepared.

Shen Xi said: "Tonight, the Hou Mansion of Shouning has a banquet, and Gonggong Zhang has not been invited?" ”

"Shouning Hou Mansion?"

Zhang Yong was a little surprised, "Master Hou...... Shou Ninghou never said it! ”

Shen Xi nodded and said: "Hou Shouning didn't mention it, maybe he was negligent, there may be something important at the banquet tonight, and Gonggong Zhang is supervising the army with the army, so it's better to listen to it together." ”
