Liu Jian never arrived, and the matter that was pending was solved in the court at this time.

As the governor of the two provinces, Chen Xi coordinated the troops of the six provinces and was responsible for suppressing the rebellion. But correspondingly, Chen Xi's official position must also be temporarily promoted, and he can no longer be the right censor.

Zhu Youzhi asked: "Before, the right censor of the Chen Qing family was the governor of Huguang and Jiangxi provinces. Now they coordinated the troops of the six provinces. Should they be promoted?"

As the person who advocated that Chen Xi would give out troops and horses to be promoted, Ma Wensheng immediately reported: "Of course, it is better to take the left censor!"

In the Ming Dynasty, although the left and right censors had the same official rank and were both second-rank, the right and right deputy censors, and the deputy censors were generally the official positions of local governors and governors, while the left and left deputy censors were the chief officials of the Censors' Court.

However, in order to enhance the authority of the governor, especially the governors of the Jiubian, Sanzhen and other departments, the governors will occasionally be asked to be given the title of Left Censor or Left Deputy Censor, which is not customized.

Now Chen Xi is the governor of two provinces and the right censor of the right capital to supervise local military and political affairs. If the troops of the six provinces are promoted, they will inevitably be promoted to show their favor. Otherwise, when encountering the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi or the governor of Sichuan, Chen Xi cannot be the governor of the local government as a prestigious position. They are similar to each other's official positions, and no one wants to listen to Chen Xi.

Not only was the emperor considering this issue, but all the ministers also thought about it. When appointing troops from six provinces to make adjustments, they must ensure that their highest authority in capturing troops is to ensure the smooth progress of the rebellion.

When Li Dongyang heard this, he was so good? If that kid was really the Censor of the Left Censor of Jin, wouldn’t he have made another step forward in the officialdom and would be even more difficult to suppress in the future, so he immediately said:

"It is extremely inappropriate to have the vacant censor of the Left Capital. Only Ma Taishi in this dynasty restored Hami, so he was appointed by the Left Capital Censor and Minister of War. How could Chen Xi be with Ma Taishi at a young age? It is appropriate to maintain his original position!"

Four years ago, when Ma Wen was promoted to the Minister of Personnel, Zhu Youzhe did not add the title to the title of Shi and the Crown Prince Grand Tutor, so Li Dongyang respectfully called Ma Wen to the Grand Tutor.

Zhu Youzhang obviously didn't want to listen to Li Dongyang on this issue. He raised his hand and said, "Sir Li doesn't need to say much. I think what Ma Taishi said is reasonable. Chen Qing's family is now the right censor and serves as the governor of Huguang and Jiangjiang provinces. If they cannot be promoted to show their favor, how can they convince the public?"

"Since there is a precedent for Ma Taishi, Chen Xi is now in charge of the Zuodu Censor, and he can naturally follow it. After the war is over, he can withdraw his appointment. This is also easy to face it and avoid unclear rights and responsibilities in the army."

Emperor Hongzhi spoke very sincerely, and many ministers present could not object. Zhang Mao and Liu Daxia successively expressed their support. The two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling have always followed the emperor's intentions, so they naturally agreed.

In the eyes of these people, there is no essential difference between the Left Censor and the Right Censor. Both are empty positions, and it is not to let Chen Xi return to the capital to sit in the hall of the Censorate. Even if Chen Xi is appointed as the Left Censor, it is impossible for him to be the seven ministers of the court. The emperor explained that he would be demoted after the war ended, so there was no need to worry about temporary gains and losses.

Although Li Dongyang was unhappy, he still took a step back and stopped talking, which was the decision of the emperor.

...

...

The resolution proposed by Ma Wensheng that Chen Xi, the left-level censor, was successfully passed during the discussion, which made Emperor Hongzhi feel happy and felt that he was finally no longer led by the civil servant group in the court.

He wanted to promote Chen Xi, but in fact he wanted to prove that if I admire, I would use it. How could he be influenced by the opinions of your civil servant group?

You people are full of words. They always emphasize rules and rank about me. But what I value is credit and ability. Whoever has the ability will take on great responsibilities. This is also an idea that I want to promote to my son. We cannot use it because of our profound qualifications, and we cannot not promote it because others are young.

Zhu Youzhang's face showed a slightly rosy look. He stood up from the dragon throne and said proudly: "Then I will decide here to use the Chen Qing family as the left censor, take charge of the commander and command the troops of the six southwest provinces to quell the local rebellion..."

Wang Hua stood at the end of the row of civil officials. At this time, he seemed to want to go out and say something. Li Dongyang winked at him when he saw this, meaning that the six southwestern provinces are not the nine-sided defense, so how can His Majesty arrange for him to let His Majesty be disgusted by his will?

The emperor could decide in private to appoint a military ministers. Taking such an occasion means that the emperor respects the civil and military ministers. Li Dongyang knew that he had repeatedly opposed the list and was challenging the emperor, which had already caused the emperor to be unhappy and did not want Wang Hua to offend the emperor.

He would rather come in person in this way than let the Prime Minister Wang Hua take action. After all, Wang Hua is not a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet now. If he would push Wang Hua as a gun envoy now, the emperor would not allow Wang Hua to enter the cabinet, which would be extremely unfavorable to the layout of the civil servant group.

Li Dongyang also needs to consider getting along well with the emperor in the future. If he should compromise, he has to compromise. He can only make concessions on the issue of Shen Xi serving as the commander of the troops of the six provinces.

Zhu Youzing said for a while, and suddenly he thought of something and said, "Although the Qing family regards the Chen Qing family as the left censor, there are no more objections, but the Zuodu Censor has made the military affairs of the six provinces. What is the most appropriate job for you to have a job?"

Questions one after another.

The position of Chen Xi as the "Left Censor" is mainly to determine that his identity is already with the "Seven Ministers" of the court, and there are so many local governors, the second-rank Zuo Du Censor is definitely an unmatched highest official position, but Chen Xi also needs another layer of identity to lead the troops.

The previous governors of the two provinces can now be called "Six Provinces Military Affairs Promotion", but this official position has obviously not appeared in any classics of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no precedent to follow.

The emperor is now in a dilemma, what kind of errands to send Chen Xi to lead the troops?

The ministers present looked at each other. In fact, this problem is not completely unpredictable. Before, civil officials led troops to the northwest and were all given the title of Shangshu.

Liu Daxia said: "Your Majesty, it is best to take Ma Taishi leading troops in the northwest as an example, and to add the title of Minister of War and to command the troops and horses!"

One sentence quickly caused an uproar.

There was an uproar in so many civil and military officials present, even Xie Qian's heart was a little "sudden". Why did he add Chen Xi to the title of Minister of War?

Even Xie Qian himself never thought about what would happen if Chen Xi added the Minister of War? He had been working hard before and had never helped Chen Xi fight for the official position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Now he suddenly wanted to be appointed as the Minister of War. Even though he knew it was just a temporary official position, Xie Qian was still happy, and now he finally used it only.

Liu Daxia did not say this rashly, as if after careful consideration. Therefore, when he said it, everyone looked at him in surprise, but seeing that Liu Daxia was unmoved, Emperor Hongzhi was not surprised. Now many people who were familiar with the emperor's personality immediately realized that Zhu Youzhang might have discussed this issue with Liu Daxia in advance.

Wang Hua thought to himself: "Shangshu Liu came later than Binzhi and I. He had not entered the hall before to discuss the military affairs of the Southwest with Your Majesty. Why did Shangshu Liu agree with His Majesty's opinions on this issue? And a series of war reports in the southwest were only transmitted to the capital this afternoon..."

For Wang Hua, some things are difficult to understand with common sense. Liu Daxia suggested that Chen Xi be given the title of Minister of War and observe the emperor's reaction. The emperor clearly praised it very much.
