Chapter 1051 - Pull Down the Face (Second Update)
Shen Xi couldn't take care of Zhu Houzhao at this time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the bear child can come out of the heavily guarded Forbidden City, there must be a way to go back. Now he was in a hurry to go to the Shouning Marquis Mansion for a banquet to see what means the Zhang Brothers would have.
When Shen Xi rushed to the Hou Mansion of Shouning, the Zhang brothers were discussing things in the back hall of the Hou Mansion.
Zhang Yanling has a deep affection for Shen Xi, if he can choose, he wants to put Shen Xi to death, but he knows that this time Shen Xi will go on an expedition to die nine times, or even ten deaths, so there is no need to make a fuss for himself.
“…… Brother doesn't think that Shen Xi may still come back from the northwest, right? At this juncture, his exit is equivalent to sending him to death, and this practice banquet can actually be saved! ”
Zhang Yanling mentioned Shen Xi, there was a lot of disdain in his words, in the past two years, he tried his best to investigate, and gradually realized that most of the things he was kidnapped were related to Shen Xi, but unfortunately he couldn't come up with evidence. In his logic, anyone who offends him will not end well, and Shen Xi is no exception.
Zhang Heling admired Shen Xi a lot, and said: "Shen Xi, this son, has made many contributions to the imperial court, and he is a second-class member at a young age, just waiting for the prince to ascend the throne and enter the cabinet." Out is a good general, in the court is to study and the people, such a good material, and now he has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of His Majesty to lead the troops to the northwest, if he can successfully resolve the crisis, I am afraid that he will enter the cabinet or serve as the official of the six departments in advance after returning, at this time not to be around when? ”
Zhang Yanling was surprised: "Is my brother praising too much?" A kid who hasn't grown any hair, into the cabinet? Six Ministers? Does he have that qualification? ”
"Second brother, in fact, there are some things you don't know at all, before Shen Xifeng was transferred back to Beijing, there were rumors that he would be used as the head of the household...... This son may be a little mediocre in the use of troops on the southeast coast, but he is a good hand in money and grain scheduling. ”
"Your Majesty's meritocracy, the prince is young now, if you reserve talents for the prince, you will definitely be selected from among the young officials, among all the young people, who can shine more than Shen Xi?" Zhang Heling asked.
Zhang Yanling couldn't answer this time.
Among the young officials, it is true that Shen Xi has the most profound academic attainments and qualifications.
When Shen Xi was appointed as the speaker of the East Palace, the emperor's intention to cultivate Shen Xi as the prince's minister had been clearly revealed, and in Zhang Yanling's view, it was purely Shen Xi's own death, and he had to teach the prince something to indulge in pleasure, so that the emperor would be dissatisfied and transferred him.
As a result, Shen Xi is on an errand in the field, more brilliant than in the East Palace, in just a few years, Shen Xi has become a feudal official, this time he was ordered to be in danger, if Shen Xi can really return victoriously as Zhang Heling said, the credit is absolutely heavenly, under the principle of Wenchen not being crowned Wujue, Shen Xi is very likely to serve as a servant of the six departments, or directly enter the cabinet.
Although Shen Xi can't be the number one, a person who is not yet twenty years old can do this job, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes the first assistant or the sixth secretary in the future.
"How is the brother going to show favor to him?" Zhang Yanling said, "This kid, oil and salt don't enter, but ...... seems to be a little lustful, but the young wife and beautiful concubines in the family have married a lot, including the eldest granddaughter of the elder as a concubine...... That Xie Lao'er is really shameless, as a cabinet minister, he actually gave his eldest granddaughter to Shen Xi as a concubine, depreciating his value! ”
"You know what? Forgot that in order to revitalize the family, my father married several aunts and sisters to courtiers as concubines and concubines? ”
Zhang Heling mentioned that Zhang Luan married his daughter to an old guy like Xu Qiong as a concubine, Zhang Yanling's face was very ugly, because this was the shame of the Zhang family, who mentioned the Zhang family at that time, and didn't quietly talk behind his back that this is a down-and-out family that likes to use women to seek power?
But Zhang Luan's marriage strategy has achieved great results, and it is with the help of these in-laws that Zhang's daughter will successfully become the crown prince and concubine, and finally win the crown and become the master of the Ming harem. Now when people mention this matter, they will only say that Zhang Luan has good vision, good means, and envy in his mouth, but who knows what he thinks secretly?
Zhang Yanling looked ashamed: "Big brother, don't mention this matter." ”
Zhang Heling said: "It is my father's forbearance that has created the glory of my Zhang family today, and what Xie Qian thinks in his heart is probably the same." ”
"Although the Xie family has successors in the DPRK, their ability is limited, and their future achievements are not high, and they will definitely not be able to continue the glory of Xie Qian today. Shen Xi is an upstart in the imperial court, and Xie Qian's marriage of the eldest granddaughter of the lineage is to use the marriage to consolidate the position of the Xie family. ”
"I didn't know before, it turned out that Xie Qian's foresight was not actually his own opinion, but from Shen Xi's plan. He married a little granddaughter, and the harvest was obvious! ”
Xie Qian would never admit that his insights came from Shen Xi before, but this time the northwest army was defeated, Xie Qian had nothing to do, so he had to be honest with the emperor about Shen Xi's proposals, which was also the main reason why Emperor Hongzhi finally decided to be ordered by Shen Xi. Otherwise, Zhu Youzhi would send Xie Qian to the northwest to lead the troops.
Aren't you Xie Lao'er very capable, have the foresight to strategize and win thousands of miles away, then this time I will let you personally go to the battlefield to lead the troops!
Xie Qian knew that a handful of old bones went to the northwest purely to deliver food to the Tatars, so he could only push Shen Xi out of the top tank.
"The northwest army is defeated, and how much effect can it be for a hairy boy to lead 6,000 soldiers and horses? It's better to be like a few decades ago, guard the Jingshi, no matter how fierce Beiyi is, at most it will only covet the wealth of my Ming Dynasty, and it will inevitably retreat after plundering people and animals...... Pity that Shenxi child, he can only go to the wilderness of corpses, and add merit to the Tatars in vain! ”
There was a lot of unkindness in Zhang Yanling's tone.
Although Zhang Heling admired Shen Xi very much, he didn't scold his younger brother because of outsiders, but just persuaded: "Second brother, no matter what you had with Shen Xi before, today's banquet, you'd better be restrained...... Tonight, Shen Xi was left in the house for the night, and several dancers sent from Chuzhou in the first year were sent to accompany him. ”
"Brother, even if we know that this kid is, we don't have to go for it, right? Or...... The beauties who sent them off, those dancing girls, were originally looking for an opportunity to send them to the palace, even if they weren't sent to the palace, they couldn't cheap outsiders for nothing, right? Zhang Yanling hurriedly persuaded.
Zhang Heling sneered: "Don't think that your brother doesn't know your thoughts, Your Majesty is seriously ill, how can you covet women?" But you, if you don't take care of your sex, what kind of things do you do to kill dogs and rob people's daughters, the court and the central government will make trouble, see how you end up! ”
Zhang Yanling's original resentment towards Shen Xi had been alleviated a lot, but when he heard that his brother was going to give Shen Xi several stunning beauties he coveted, the anger in his heart suddenly jumped.
"It's inconvenient for my younger brother to be cheap for an outsider, and he is really as rigid as his father...... Speaking of which, my sister is more towards her own family! ”
……
……
Shen Xi was about to go on an expedition, and Ma Wensheng's mansion in the capital, Xie Qian came to the door with a cheeky face, in order to ask for more resources for Shen Xi, so that Shen Xi could return safely from the northwest.
“…… Yu Qiao, yesterday Your Majesty's will, you heard it, Your Majesty designated 6,000 soldiers and horses, don't say that I am now in charge of the Ministry of Officials, even if I am still the secretary of the Ministry of War, I can't deal with it from the power. If you negotiate with Shen Xi, let him not be reckless, try to avoid the battle, and wait for the cold and frozen Tatars to retreat, and successfully recapture the Yulin Acropolis, it will be a victory! ”
Ma Wensheng looked helpless and made it clear that he was unwilling to help.
Xie Qian said: "Shen Xi thought that the little old man had harmed him, and now he refuses to even see him, how can he talk to him?" This kid is usually stubborn and self-serving, and always likes to win in danger, and no matter how much he says, it is in vain. ”
"Ma Shangshu, you have been in the army for many years, and you are brilliant with soldiers, it is better to go out of the city tomorrow morning to send him a section, and it is appropriate to teach him face-to-face. In addition, these 6,000 soldiers and horses, plus 800 more livestock, what do you think? ”
Ma Wensheng narrowed his eyes.
This time the Beijing battalion went out on the expedition, except for the horses that had to be used in the army, which were not collected at night, and the goods were all donkeys and mules, according to the normal equipment, it should be five people with one livestock, and 6,000 soldiers and horses needed a total of 1,200 livestock. Xie Qian said that 800 heads would be added, which meant that there would be more livestock for three people, so that the weight of the materials that could be transported would be much more.
Ma Wensheng said: "It's not difficult to go out of the city tomorrow to say goodbye, but these 800 heads of livestock, the old man can't be the master!" ”
If it were someone else, Xie Qianxuan would not use a pleading tone, but Ma Wensheng is more than 20 years older, and Ma Wensheng is a person who made outstanding contributions to the Ming frontier during the Hongzhi period, even if Xie Qian's posture is lowered, he will not have a sense of humiliation.
"Of course you can call the shots." Xie Qian said, "Now that Gyeonggi is under martial law, most of the livestock transporting grain and grass logistics are in the enclosure, this battle can be said to involve whether the northwest can be successfully recovered, if Ma Shangshu does not allocate more livestock to Shenxi Xiao'er, the northwest will suffer, what is the benefit of these livestock staying in the pen?" ”
"This ......"
Ma Wensheng hesitated.
Unauthorized alteration of the livestock equipment of the expeditionary army is a serious violation.
Moreover, this matter is not under the control of Marven Sheng at all, but under the jurisdiction of Taifu Temple. The Taifu Temple is involved in the dispatch of chariots and horses from sundries, and its decree to shoulder the herding of horses is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Ma Wensheng, as the secretary of the ministry, is in charge of personnel deployment, and it is not his turn to interfere in the affairs of the military department and the Taifu Temple.
But after all, Ma Wensheng served as the secretary of the military department for many years, and after Liu Daxia served as the secretary of the military department and the commander-in-chief of the trilateral governor in the northwest, most of the affairs of the military department were in charge of Xiong Xiu, the left attendant of the military department.
Xie Qian saw that Ma Wensheng's attitude had loosened, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Isn't it just a matter of Ma Shangshu's words?" Maybe help Shenxi children resolve the crisis! ”
"In this case, the old man said hello to the military department and deployed overnight, I don't know if the time is in time!" Ma Wensheng finally agreed.
Xie Qian smiled: "It's in time, it's in time, it's just a few livestock, and it's just rushing from one circle to another." I first thanked Ma Shangshu for Shen Xi'er. ”
Xie Qian was respectful, Ma Wensheng waved his hand, and sighed: "Yu Qiao, the other two cabinet ministers have been tired over the years, thanks to your support for the government, you look much older, if Shen Xi can really return from the northwest, are you ready to cultivate him as a cabinet minister?" ”
"Too far, too far."
Xie Qian smiled and shook his head, indicating that there was no such thing at all. But in fact, when he married his granddaughter, he had this idea, but he wanted Shen Xi to experience a few more years.
Ma Wensheng said with a smile: "If you don't want to be promoted, you might as well let Shen Xi enter the military department, let him start as a squire in the military department, and let the old man lead him a ride!" ”
