Chen Xi was transferred internally, even if it was just transferred to Nanjing, it would not be possible to obtain the consent of Liu Jian and Li Dongyang.

This formed a deadly situation. Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were biased against Chen Xi, and Chen Xi could not get more trust and support. Even if Xie Qian, Ma Wensheng and others wanted to promote it, it would be useless. Chen Xi continued to stay in Huguang and Jiangxi as the governor of the two provinces and became the best choice at the moment.

For others, it may be a huge regret that they cannot be transferred to the two capitals. Even officials want to get close to the core of power, but Chen Xi’s current goal is to be a foreign official, preferably a person with a high mountain and a far away emperor. This way, you can do something without hindering others.

The memorial of the Ministry of Personnel on Chen Xi's transfer to Nanjing's Minister of War was directly beaten back by Liu Jian and Li Dongyang and did not submit it to the Chief Secretary for Lecture. In this way, Zhu Houzhao didn't know anything that Xiao Jing didn't know.

During the court meeting a few days later, Zhu Houzhao was concerned about Chen Xi's situation and casually mentioned: "...It seems that the six-year examination of Chen Qing's family has been completed. I don't know what the Ministry of Personnel's evaluation of him is, and what to do to transfer it?"

The emperor suddenly asked about Shen Xi, which made the court officials present a little embarrassed, because in the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xi was almost an unnamed name, which would cause many conflicts.

Chen Xi worked hard and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. He should have been transferred to the capital for a long time. Unfortunately, Chen Xi could not get the trust of the powerful cabinet masters in his work, which attracted the hostility of the civil servant group. Now he can only serve as the governor in the local area. Even if someone helps Chen Xi speak, he will be disgusted by Liu Jian and Li Dongyang.

Xu Jinluo, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, reported: "When you go back to your Majesty, Chen Hanlin has been good at exams and discussions, but now he has been in the position of governor of Huguang and Jiangxi provinces for less than three years, so there is no motion!"

Xu Jin, whose courtesy name is Jisheng and his nickname is Dongya, has a close relationship with Ma Wensheng and has a good relationship with Liu Daxia. He is a backbone of civil servants in the court. He is now 68 years old, which is his 40th year after he passed the Jinshi exam.

After being an official for forty years, he became the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Chen Xi was appointed as the sixth minister for six years. If he was transferred to the sixth minister, it would obviously cause dissatisfaction among all the old ministers. Therefore, even if Xu Jin had no conflicts with Chen Xi, he would not support Chen Xi's idea of ​​entering the capital. Although Chen Xi was only transferred to Nanjing as the right minister of the Ministry of War.

Zhu Houzhao asked angrily: "You all think that Chen Qing's family is doing well and can help me stabilize the country. Why can't we call him an extraordinary promotion?"

Li Dongyang came out and said, "Reply to Your Majesty, the appointment of Chen Hanlin has been promoted as an exception... When the Emperor was the last emperor, Chen Xi was reused. Now he is only twenty years old this year, so he has been in charge of the military and political affairs of the two provinces. Since the Ming Dynasty, he has been the first person. If Your Majesty has resentment and blames for this, it really shouldn't have been!"

Zhu Houzhao was still very annoyed: "What's the use of being a great official outside? I hope to transfer talented ministers to the capital and do things around me. Is my request too much?"

"Sir Li, let me tell you, if talented people in the world cannot use it, who would think that the system of the court is reasonable? I think that Chen Qing's family should be allowed to return to Beijing and serve as the Secretary of the Six Ministers..."

At this time, let alone Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, even those officials who had no resentment with Chen Xi and even admired Chen Xi had a strange expression when they heard this.

The twenty-year-old Shangshu, they had never heard of it at all. It was difficult for them to accept that Chen Xi was in the court and became a minister, let alone the six ministers. The more Chen Xi was promoted to a high position, the more they proved that they were incompetent. Within the civil service group, everyone's mentality was basically the same... What I could not get, nor could others get, especially those who would make themselves lose face, and they would be suppressed.

The court was a place that was about rules and order. Civil officials were deeply influenced by Confucian doctrine of the mean and attached great importance to qualifications. What Chen Xi lacked was age and qualifications.

Of course, this is both a disadvantage of Chen Xi and his advantage. There are so many ministers in the court, most of whom are over 60 years old. After more than ten years, most of the old ministers in the court have retired, and Chen Xi has no problem with his qualifications. He is young and strong, and it is almost a foregone conclusion that he has entered the central government.

Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia had actually foreseen this situation, but they were not understood by other officials of the court.

Liu Jian took the initiative to leave: "Your Majesty, Huguang and Jiangxi provinces have just experienced wars and need someone to calm down the order and guard one side. It is the best choice to stay in Chenxi. Sending others to the public is probably not convinced!"

Zhu Houzhao's face looked ugly. He glanced at Liu Jin, hoping that Liu Jin could help him think of an idea, but Liu Jin didn't want to help Zhu Houzhao at all, so he frequently made him give up this discussion. Zhu Houzhao finally angrily stopped talking about Chen Xi, but still wanted to help Chen Xi fight for it in his heart, although it was just useless work.

...

...

After the court discussion, Zhu Houzhao left Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng alone... He wanted to know the specific situation of Chen Xi in Huguang and Jiangxi so that he could make arrangements.

In front of Xie Qian, Ma Wensheng said bluntly: "... The old minister had suggested that Chen Xi be transferred to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, but it was blocked by the cabinet! Now that Chen Xi is a local governor for less than three years, it is also an option to stay in the place. If he continues to make contributions in the future, he can be transferred back to the capital to serve, or serve as the governor of the Northwest, and be appointed as the marquis!"

Xie Qian glanced at Ma Wensheng with a slant. He didn't have much thought about Chen Xi's entry into the control, because he knew that Liu Jian and Li Dongyang would obstruct him, so it was impossible for Chen Xi to return to Beijing.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Shangshu Ma, you are the Minister of Personnel. What decision does the Ministry of Personnel have to ask the cabinet to agree? Besides, where is the transfer to Nanjing? To be transferred to the capital, you should return to the capital. I hope that Chen Qing's family can serve as the Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, so as to better help me manage the country and the country... Xie Ge Lao, what do you think?"

Xie Qian looked indifferent: "Go back to Your Majesty, the old minister and Chen Xi are relatives, so it is not advisable to talk about this before Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao was a little annoyed: "Gei Ge, you are clearly shirking responsibility. Who in the court knows that you just married a granddaughter to Chen Xi, but not your son and grandson. What's wrong with saying this? I also heard that Mr. Xie's son has now entered Hanyuan to work. I think he is very accomplished and want to promote him more in the future..."

Zhu Houzhao's words were meaningful, as if he was saying, "As long as you Xie Qian can find a way to transfer Chen Xi to the capital, I will promote your son. This is a reciprocity exchange."

Even though Xie Qian understood the implicit meaning, he still looked embarrassed:

"Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister doesn't want to give you advice, but the matter of Chen Xi's return to the capital is quite complicated. The court does not have any lack of officials. Even if there is, many people in the court regarding qualifications and reputation, if they are above him, transferring Chen Xi's return to the capital will make His Majesty offend many court officials, why bother?"

Zhu Houzhao was so angry that her mouth was crooked and said, "There are only a few trustworthy people around me. It is so troublesome to transfer Chen Qing's family to Beijing. It seems that this court is really not my court!"

Ma Wensheng said: "Your Majesty is such a bad word. Although the emperor has everything, if Your Majesty does not follow the rules in personnel transfer, wouldn't the court be disordered and disorderly? Even if Chen Xi is really capable, Your Majesty should try his best to convince those ministers who disagree... Both the ministers and the elder Xie Ge of the State agreed to Chen Xi's entry. Your Majesty is useless just to make things difficult for me!"

Ma Wensheng meant that if His Majesty wanted to transfer Chen Xi back to Beijing, he should go to Liu Jian and Li Dongyang and said that it was these two cabinet ministers who obstructed him, not Xie Yuqiao and me.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the helpless Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian, and finally said frustrated as if they were defeated by a rooster: "Since both of your beloved ministers can't think of a good idea, how can I tell you to Mr. Liu and Mr. Li? Well, now maybe it's not a good opportunity to transfer Chen Qing's family to the court."

"In this way, you two go and mobilize the people in the court to see who else supports my resolution and let them report it together. I don't believe that the opinions of Shaofu Liu and Grand Secretary Li will oppose the opinions of most people!"

Xie Qian opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end he wanted to say something but stopped.

Most people in the court now have the opinion of Chen Xi to stay in the local area as an official. Where can anyone support Chen Xi to enter the capital? Xie Qian sighed quietly in his heart, and it is estimated that Chen Xi's child staying in Huguang is the best choice at present.

Only Liu Jin, who stood behind the emperor, had a little gleam in his eyes. Chen Xi could not enter the capital, which was a great benefit for him. Liu Jin had already begun to think about how to fight for power and profit in the next step...

...

...

In Wenyuan Pavilion Office, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang sat down behind their respective desks after returning. While Wang Hua came to submit the ticket, Liu Jian talked about Shen Xi's affairs.

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty is obsessed with Chen Xi and always wants him to return to Beijing to serve soon!"

Li Dongyang nodded and said, "Now the court is calm and there is a more Shenxi River. It may cause many waves. It is better to let him stay in the local area. The position of governor of the two provinces is not a humiliation for him, and it is also a good thing for the court!"

Wang Hua asked curiously: "What the two cabinet masters said is Chen Xi, the top scholar in the 12th year of Hongzhi?"

"It's him!"

Li Dongyang said, "Dehui, he and Linglang were Jinshi of the same year. Now he is an official in the local area. In terms of official rank, he has no promotion... Among the Jinshi in Jiwei, he is the senior official. Of course, Linglang is also the best!"

Wang Hua smiled and said, "Thanks to the promotion of the two cabinet masters, he is now working in the Ministry of War, and I hope to achieve something!"

Li Dongyang glanced at Liu Jian and said, "Dehui, the son of the Lang has always served in the six ministries. Liu Shaofu said before that it would be better to recruit the son of the Lang to train him. How about it? With his ability, the court can be handled freely. Foreign places can start with the Senate. He should have no problems with the responsibilities of the Censorate and the General Office!"

For others, it should be worth looking forward to being able to transfer local officials from outside the Six Ministry to one party and gain real power. After all, there are only so many positions for Beijing officials, and the position to rise from Six Ministry to the Six Ministry is extremely limited. Some people probably cannot overcome this hurdle in their entire lives.

But Wang Hua worked hard in the court for many years and knew the rules of the court. As long as the relationship is deep, any miracle can happen.

The promotion of a Beijing official to one level is equivalent to upgrading to three levels in the local level, and it can also accumulate connections. These are not comparable to those in the local area. In other words, Wang Shouren can rotate as a doctor in the six ministries. On the one hand, he can be familiar with the functions of each ministries, and on the other hand, he can also cultivate power in the local area through the power in his hands. As long as he can overcome the natural barrier between the doctor and the minister, there is almost no suspense that Wang Shouren will lead the six ministries in the future.

Wang Hua said: "The son of the dog is not capable of leading the party yet. It is better to let him stay in the capital for several years. The father and son can gather from time to time. I will teach him a lot!"

Li Dongyang nodded: "Since Dehui thinks so, then let Bo'an stay in the capital!"
Chapter completed!
