On the eighth day of October, Ningxia avant-garde. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Liu Daxia led his troops to Huamachi, where the Ningxia Acropolis was located, he sent four groups of men and horses, a total of 8,000 elite horsemen, and successively defeated the Tatar "Chinese army" in the Great Wall Pass, Gaoping Fort, Tianchi Village, Qingshui Camp and other places, and the Tatar "army" fled in the desert, Liu Daxia took the opportunity to recover the lost territory, and the lost land on the three sides basically returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Just when the good news arrived in the capital four days later, Zhu Youzhi was dragging his sick body to summon the cabinet scholars and the officials of the six ministries in the dormitory of the Qianqing Palace.

Because all the questions were about the storage of autumn grain and the people's livelihood, Zhu Youzhu spoke slowly, and the person who answered did not dare to say too much, so as not to be blamed by the emperor.

At this moment, Xiao Jing walked out of the back hall, respectfully came to Emperor Hongzhi, and said a word in his ear, and the emperor sat up immediately after hearing it, which made the ministers present extremely surprised.

Zhu Youzhu coughed twice, slightly tired, waved his hand, and said, "Gonggong Xiao, tell your ministers about this!" ”

"Yes!"

The smile on Xiao Jing's white face was as bright as a flower, which made Xie Qian, who was standing behind Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, sink in his heart when he saw it.

"Great victory, Liu Shangshu personally led the army to recover the lost territory on the three sides, and now he is cleaning up the mess and gradually restoring the major passes of the Great Wall that were destroyed by the Tatars!"

Xiao Jing couldn't hide his excitement, and almost shouted these words.

The ministers present were all jubilant, but Xie Qian felt a little uncomfortable in his heart:

"It's bad, it's bad, since Liu Daxia's side has won, it proves that the Tatar soldiers and horses are indeed in Ningxia Town, and the Tatar Chinese army on the Xuanfu side shows that it is nothing."

"Shen Xi'er is in trouble this time, I hope that Lord Liu Shiyong will not care about the villain and let Shen Xi go, otherwise I really don't know how much this stinky boy will be embarrassed!"

Zhu Youzhi was sad and smiled: "I have been waiting for a long time, and finally ushered in this great news!" It's been three years, three years ago, the soldiers of our three armies were able to defeat the Tatars, so that the Tatars were broken and sunk in the sand on the banks of the Yuxi River...... Add the prince and the young protection, and there will be another heavy reward after the class teacher returns to the court! ”

……

……

The great victory in the northwest is an inspiring joy for the lifeless capital and even the state capitals of the Ming Dynasty, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty cheered and cheered, and the people also rushed to tell each other, which was almost to the point of celebrating with the whole world.

Led by the Cabinet, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War began to draw up a preliminary roster of personnel to be awarded.

This is an arrangement made to cater to the emperor's desire to reward meritorious heroes, Zhu Youzhu is now unable to preside over this work in person on the sickbed, so he naturally needs the courtiers to do a good job and hand it over to the emperor for review and decision.

A cadre of important ministers came out of the Qianqing Palace and came to Wenyuan Pavilion to discuss how to ask for merit for the soldiers in the northwest.

Xie Qian's face has always been ugly, others want to receive merit and reward, and Shen Xi has to accept punishment, which can be said to be the joy of other people's family and their own sorrow.

Xie Qian felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders, although the appointment of Shen Xi as the governor of Yansui was a decision made by Emperor Hongzhi himself, but if he really wanted to hold Shen Xi responsible for the passive slackness in leading the troops, the emperor would definitely not punish himself, then Xie Qian would definitely be responsible for this.

"Shen Xi'er, you hurt me!"

Xie Qian had no intention of dealing with Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and the officials of the six ministries, and under the pretext of being unwell, he left the palace directly and returned home.

In the past, Xie Qian was the mainstay of the cabinet and could not leave without permission, but now that it coincides with the great victory in the northwest, many things can be temporarily slowed down, and some court affairs are not so rushed.

Everyone else knew that Xie Qian was in a bad mood at this time, so they simply let him go back to rest, and Liu Jian and Li Dongyang would naturally handle the matter for Xie Qian.

Now that the northwest has won a great victory, these ministers in the court and the central government feel that they should do something to win the emperor's respect, otherwise they will be sorry for the black gauze hat on their heads.

Back at home, Xie Qian sat alone in the study, silently, and the Xie Mansion didn't even know that he was back.

Xie Qian was sullen, all he thought in his heart was to scold Shen Xi, he didn't think Shen Xi was cowardly and afraid, but blamed Shen Xi for making a fatal mistake in the judgment of the battle situation.

Xie Qian sighed lightly: "Shen Xi, Shen Xi, you are smart, you were confused for a while, thinking that the Tatars would march and fight according to your ideas, but you never thought that with the Tatars' minds, where did so many conspiracies and tricks come from?" ”

"After all, the Tatars are nothing more than papier-mâché tigers, and the Tatars had already been defeated once three years ago, and even if they were lucky enough to get the upper hand this time, they would still have to flee with their tails between their legs. It's good that you're not only putting yourself in, but even I can't explain it to the court, it's too annoying for you to do this! ”

At this moment, Xie Pi's voice came: "Father, but Mr. Shen has a letter from the northwest?" ”

Xie Qian was disturbed and shouted angrily: "Son, it's not good to study in the room, what are you doing here?" By the way, you must no longer call Shen Xi Xiaoer Mr. in the future, otherwise you will have a difficult career yourself! ”

Xie Pi was stunned, he didn't expect his father to let him take the initiative to clear up his relationship with Shen Xi at this time.

In the past, when Xie Pi saw his friends, whenever he mentioned that he had studied with Shen Xi about psychology and current literature, he had a sense of pride.

Although Shen Xi is young, he is a Hanlin official after all, and he has had a good time in the DPRK in the past few years, and Xie Pi is not ashamed because he thinks he is a student of a young man.

But now, Xie Qian obviously asked him to draw a line with Shen Xi.

"Father, Mr. Shen is Jun'er's father-in-law after all, and he is one with our Xie family...... Xie Pi emphasized.

Xie Qian was even more annoyed: "Before it was, now it's now." Shen Xi'er is causing trouble now, do you want the Xie family to suffer? Don't forget, Jun'er is just a concubine given to Shen Xi'er by her father, and the daughter who married out spilled the water, not to mention that Jun'er is not the lady that Ming Media is marrying, but just a concubine Teng......"

Xie Pi's face was extremely ugly, and he thought: "The last thing my father wanted to hear was that he married his granddaughter to Shen Xi as a concubine, but now it's good, in order to protect himself, he took the initiative to talk about this matter regardless of his own face." ”

Xie Qian said: "If your father is not at home on weekdays, your mother is easy-going by nature, if someone from the Shen family comes to intercede and wants to let your father speak for Shen Xi, you will not be allowed to enter the door, and you will not be allowed to accept gifts." ”

"Even if Jun'er comes back, it's useless, unless Shen Xi'er personally comes to the door to take the blame...... Alas, he shouldn't have come to my Xie Mansion to ask for sin, he went to the gate of the palace to ask for sin, maybe His Majesty will forgive him! ”

This is said very heartlessly and hurtfully, as if the Xie family wants to completely clear the relationship with the Shen family.

Xie Pi wanted to ask if things were so stiff, but he had a deep fear of his father since he was a child, Xie Qian was a strict father at home, Xie Pi was passed out very early, and he was both respectful and afraid of his father, and he didn't dare to say much for a while.

Xie Qian continued: "Go back to study by yourself, let your mother come out, and explain a few words to her for your father...... In the future, you must be cautious, before the next session of the exam, go out and walk around less, let alone the relationship between my Xie family and Shen Xi Xiao'er! ”

"Yes, father."

Xie Pi had no choice but to go back to the inner courtyard first, to inform his biological mother, Mrs. Xu, and let Mrs. Xu come out to see Xie Qian, and by the way, inquire about what happened to the court, so that Xie Qian was so distracted.
