Xie Qian thought about it secretly. Chenxi's job is actually good. Controlling two relatively wealthy provinces in the south is very in line with the intention of training Chenxi.

Chen Xi himself was a little unbelievable and asked quickly: "Your Majesty's intention is to let me take charge of the governors and governors of Huguang and Jianggan, protect the country and safeguard the country?"

Zhu Youzing smiled and nodded: "I mean that's exactly what I mean!"

Chen Xi couldn't help but think about it. Why didn't Emperor Hongzhi directly appointed him as the governor of Huguang or the governor of Liangjiang? Because the position of governor of the Ming Dynasty was very good, no matter how the emperor wanted to arrange the responsibilities of the governor. Even if he was asked to manage Zhili in the north and south at the same time, no one would think there was any problem.

What's more, Jianggan and Huguang were originally two bordering provinces.

One province is also in charge, and the two provinces are also in charge. In fact, there is no big difference for Chenxi.

Huguang and Jianggan are both along the Yangtze River. The errands involved in his tutor should be related to the admiral's military affairs and the clearance and rectification of rivers. These things are not difficult in his eyes.

After being an official for so many years, Chen Xi has served as a free agent and has also received important responsibilities. Now he is devoting the lack of officials with great authority, so he naturally will not object.

In fact, in the eyes of most people, whether it is the governor of Jianggan or the governor of Huguang, they are all fat and short, and the two provinces are managed by one person, which can be said to be an jealous advantage.

He has been a Jinshi in the officialdom for decades, but has not yet been promoted to the position of governor. Chen Xi has been an official for less than five years and has served as a governor of six provinces. If he maintains this rhythm, he will be regarded as governor of all the governors of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhe said: "Jiangjiang, Ganzhou and Huguang are originally fertile and rich in resources. Like Jiangnan, they are the main grain production areas of the Ming Dynasty. However, they have been flooding every year and the rivers have been disrepaired for a long time. Every time, the local area uses famine as an excuse to pay less public grain. The imperial court allocates local repair funds, but I don't know where they are used, otherwise why can't this flood be eliminated? Chen Qing's family has been checking it out!"

"In addition, some tribes in the south have taken advantage of the Ming Dynasty's internal and external difficulties, and have repeatedly plagued Huguang and southern Jiangjiang and Jiangxi prefectures and counties. If you go this time, you will rectify your troops and completely quell the rebellions in the two provinces within a few years!"

Not only did he give him an errand, but he also gave him a specific time to do the job... Within a few years, he means that Chen Xi will not have to go back to the capital for the next few years.

Chen Xi murmured to himself: "If I don't let me go back to Beijing, it's like anyone is interested in coming back. Staying in Lianghu and Jianggan is a good thing. At least the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. I don't have to watch the emperor and Liu Jian and those people who live every day!" On the surface, they saluted respectfully: "I obey the order!"

Zhu Youzhang was very satisfied with Chen Xi's "easy to talk" and said with a smile: "Chen Qing family, I asked Liu Shangshu, he highly praised your performance in the Tatar War. In my opinion, you do have extraordinary talent in mobilizing troops and generals to fight. If you can quell the rebellion of the southern tribes, I will allow you to return to the court and entrust important tasks!"

Chen Xi did not look up and thought to himself: "What is the important task? Minister of War? You can solve the resistance of the civil servant group first!"

In name, Zhu Youzhe was the mastermind of the court, but he was calm in his work. In other words, he was actually timid. In Shen Xi's opinion, the civil servant group now has the power in the court, and even Zhu Youzhe is of no use to be the emperor, and it is no different from a short marshal.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi suddenly admired Liu Jin.

Just such a eunuch could collapse the civil servant group that was cultivated into the Hongzhi Dynasty. This ability is not something that ordinary people have.

But if you think about it carefully, the reason why Liu Jin was able to gain power mainly comes from the trust of the new emperor, and it is also related to Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others' irresponsibility to the court.

If it weren't for Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Ma Wensheng and others who were not expected to resign from their posts angrily when they saw Liu Jin's fight, they would never have let the eunuchs dominate the country. From this point of view, in addition to eliminating dissidents, the civil servant group also likes to let go willfully give up.

Zhu Youzhi was completely unaware that when he was drawing up the future for Chen Xi, Chen Xi was thinking about the civil servant group fighting with eunuchs.

As for the high-sounding words that Zhu Youting said, Chen Xi was too lazy to listen to. They were the same. They were just asking him to do things well in the local area, and promised some unrealistic benefits, which was equivalent to writing blank checks, but they would never cash them out... After all, according to history, Emperor Hongzhi would have been able to live for only one or two years at most!

Zhu Youzing said again: "Chen Qing family, what difficulties do you have? I wonder when will you be able to leave?"

Chen Xi knew that Zhu Youzhe wanted to send him out of the capital earlier. When he became so frustrated, Chen Xi felt helpless.

Before, Zhu Youzhang might have wanted to promote him and let him compete with the civil servant group. Later, when he found out that he was helpless, he wanted to flatter the civil servant group and distribute him, and exchange him for the smooth and smooth throne with satisfying the civil servant group's wishes.

Chen Xidao: "I still have my family members who are about to give birth. I want to wait until the New Year before leaving for Jiangzuo. Please let Your Majesty know!"

If someone else is the case, the emperor will set out in a hurry and there is no delay.

However, Chen Xi dared to ask the emperor to postpone his departure for private matters, which seemed very ignorant.

But his ignorance of appearance was exactly what the emperor needed.

Because the emperor always felt that he had treated Chen Xi badly and tried his best to satisfy some trivial matters, it would make the emperor feel that "I have not let you down". Zhu Youting said with a smile:

"Then the Chen Qing family will set off after the Lantern Festival... It's cold and the canal is frozen and cannot be opened, so you can travel south by land!"

...

...

Chen Xi didn't stay in Ganqing Palace for long.

Emperor Hongzhi was in poor health and needed to rest. After the matter was almost done, he asked Xie Qian to call Xiao Jing back, and then asked Xie Qian to send Chen Xi out of the palace on his behalf.

After leaving the Ganqing Palace gate, Xie Qian smiled and said, "You can, from the governor of the coast of three provinces to the governor of the two provinces, and then the title of the second-rank right-level censor of the imperial court. When they arrive at the local officials below, they have to curry favor with you?"

Chen Xi thought to himself, it would be fine if the officials below don’t make any trouble for me, and I hope they can basically not think about doing things.

The Ming Dynasty will never be able to renew everything when it was founded. After more than a hundred years of peace, the corruption in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom has penetrated into every corner. Even if Chen Xi wants to change, many things are beyond his reach.

Chen Xi did not want to join forces, but he would not easily touch the unspoken rules of this era. Only those in power are qualified to reform. He is not qualified to take care of these matters now.

Chen Xidao: "Old Mr. Xie thinks it's a good idea to go to Huguang?"

Xie Qian was very depressed by Chen Xi's words. Of course, he didn't think what Chen Xi got. In Xie Qian's opinion, any local official is far away from the core power level and is exiled. It is best that Chen Xi will be an official in the Hanlin system all his life and does not need any real power. But once he comes into contact with power, he will be respected by the cabinet ministers of the current dynasty and the people of the world.

Xie Qian changed into a serious expression and said, "Don't complain, don't go to Huguang and Jianggan, do you think about it, what errands can you give you in the court? I wouldn't allow you to enter the Zhanshi Mansion, but it seems like I'm treating you badly, but I don't want many people to squeeze in to the Zhanshi Mansion and fail to get it!"

Chen Xi didn't want to argue with Xie Qian.

The wife at home is giving birth. Even if Xie Qian doesn't care about his little granddaughter, Chen Xi was anxious and said hurriedly: "I'll not talk to the elders when I'm due to childbirth. The student will leave the palace by himself!"

Xie Qian hurriedly caught up and said angrily: "What do you mean... I want to go home by myself, right... Your Majesty ordered me to send you out of the palace... and I will go to your mansion with you to see..."

Today, Xie Qian was on duty in the cabinet and originally wanted to go back to Wenyuan Pavilion to rest, but when he knew that his granddaughter had given birth, he was rarely with Chen Xi and went to Chen Mansion together, so that he could stay in the Shen family and learn about his granddaughter's childbirth as soon as possible, and he would go back to tell his family after dawn.

When Chen Xi left the palace gate, Xie Qian hurriedly asked someone to drive the carriage over. Without Chen Xi's reminder, Xie Laoer had already gotten into the carriage.

Chen Xi shook his head helplessly, told Ma Jiu who was following him, and then got on Xie Qian's carriage.

"See what, why don't you leave quickly?" Xie Qian lifted the curtain and urged his groom.

The two carriages started one after another, quickly accelerated, and galloped towards the Shen Mansion.

When Chen Xi arrived at the doorstep, he had just jumped out of the carriage and saw Lu'er and Zhu Shan waiting on the threshold.

At this time, the sky was just dawn, and the gold powder on the lintel of the Shen Mansion reflected the morning light, shining brightly.

When Lu'er saw Chen Xi, she stood up excitedly and said, "Master, the young lady is born, she is here..."
