Liu Jin was very annoyed, but the final result still made him a little satisfied.

In his opinion, as long as Chen Xi did not go to Xuanfu to investigate in person, he still had a chance to make up for it, so things could turn things around.

On the way home from Leopard Room, Liu Jin sat in the carriage and thought carefully: "Now Yan Guang has gone to Xuanfu to handle this matter, so our family can rest assured... It should not be difficult to find a thousand heads to make up the numbers. Thinking that since Sun Xiucheng dares to falsely report his merits, he should think of a subsequent remedy!"

When he got home, Liu Jin told Sun Cong about the matter, and Sun Cong changed his color and said, "My father-in-law is confused!"

Liu Jin frowned immediately: "How do you talk? Don't think that it's our brother-in-law, you can talk nonsense... If you explain it clearly, why are our family confused?"

Sun Cong shook his head helplessly: "Did my father-in-law not expect that Shangshu Chen was deliberately pushing the blame to his father-in-law and wanting him to not get out of Taiwan?"

Liu Jin's face looked a little ugly: "Our family is confused in the leopard room. Please make it clear. Our family doesn't understand what you mean very much now..."

Sun Cong sighed: "In my father-in-law's opinion, will Secretary Chen not know about your sending Yan Guang to Xuanfu?"

"Even if he knows, what can he do?"

Liu Jin disagreed and said, "Yan Guang is cautious in his work. I believe that the boy named Chen will not dare to do anything halfway. When he arrives at the place, he will cooperate with him, so you don't have to worry!"

Sun Cong said anxiously: "Why can't my father-in-law understand? Why didn't Lord Shen go by himself? He just wanted to wait for his father-in-law to give His Majesty a result..."

"If the father-in-law sent someone to investigate and said that there was no situation of killing good people and taking credit for the crime of killing the border army, then the father-in-law would probably not be a crime of misunderstanding, but was a crime of false deception of the king and murder and arson, and other crimes, even if His Majesty favors his father-in-law, will he protect his life?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but shiver. He subconsciously swallowed: "Boy named Chen is really so vicious?"

Sun Cong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Dear-in-law, please know who is the enemy of you in the court now? Although Shangshu Chen is upright, he is also the kind of person who uses any means to achieve his goals. I think how many times he fought against foreigners and became an official in the local area, which time did he not take a detour?"

"I originally thought that he would not report the local government's false reports and exaggerate military achievements to His Majesty for the time being, and did not want to turn against his father-in-law. However, judging from his performance today, it is obvious that he is better than the chess. He first proposed this matter in front of His Majesty, and then asked his father-in-law to investigate the case... If his father-in-law is not careful, he will end up in a failure!"

Liu Jin frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and could not speak for a long time.

"The father-in-law can no longer let Yan Guang act according to the original plan, and changes must be made... In this way, let Yan Guang cooperate with the investigation, keep Sun Xiucheng, Li Pin and others in a jealous way, and report the false claims of military achievements to the court. Only then can the father-in-law make up for the merits! Otherwise... the father-in-law will no longer be deceived by his subordinates, but a fellow party member who falsely reported his merits!" Sun Cong persuaded.

Liu Jin shook his sleeves and looked very angry: "Our family has done so many things now, and even arranged the matter of gathering their heads and making efforts. The triumphal celebration has long been announced to the world. At this critical moment, let our family be honest with His Majesty. Isn't this our life?"

Sun Cong was so anxious: "Dadfather-in-law, if you can't bear it, you will be a big plan!"

Liu Jin was very hesitant at this time. He believed what Sun Cong said... Considering that this matter is of great importance, he may have suffered a catastrophe.

But it is something he can't accept that he admits his mistake and has to surrender to Chen Xi.

"If our family thinks about it again, our family doesn't believe there is no other solution. As long as the boy named Chen doesn't make a fuss about this matter, no one dares to go against our family!"

Liu Jin looked at Sun Cong and said, "You should think of a solution quickly. Our family must have a solution that has the best of both worlds!"

...

...

Liu Jin asked Sun Cong and himself.

Chen Xi was completely relaxed and relaxed in this matter. At this point, he already felt like watching the fire from the other side of the river.

No matter what Liu Jin twisted the matter in the end, it would not be beneficial. This is because Liu Jin is not the only one who can meet the saint. Now the little emperor lives outside the palace and the access control is not strict. Chen Xi can meet the saint at any time, which makes many variables in the matter.

"Liu Jin is now unable to control the overall situation. He thought he could punish those ministers who secretly complained, even a veteran of the Ministry of War, who was a veteran of three dynasties, and no one cares about killing several officials below the fifth rank? Now the status of the Ministry of War is almost on par with the Sili Supervisor. Why do you think you can control the overall situation without being attacked by me?"

Chen Xi acted as a defensive counterattack in this matter, and once he took action, he would make Liu Jin doom.

Chen Xi returned to the Ministry of War, and the two ministers, Xiong Xiu and He Jian, were there.

Earlier, Chen Xi had informed the two of the false reports of the Xuanfu local government, and they were waiting for feedback from the Holy Queen Chen Xi.

Xiong Xiu hated Liu Jinke to the core. When he saw Chen Xi, he immediately spoke and asked: "Shangshu Chen, have you ever reported to Your Majesty this time? But I don't know how the eunuch named Liu explained?"

Chen Xidao: "I did not directly state the local bad habits to Your Majesty, but only raised my doubts and asked Your Majesty to send someone to verify."

Xiong Xiu clenched his fists and said, "It's much easier to do this. Since Secretary Chen is busy with official business and cannot go to Xuanfu in person, then I will take a trip to Secretary Chen for a while and I will definitely find out the matter clearly."

Chen Xi shook his head: "Your Majesty asked Liu Jin to send someone to investigate."

"What!?"

After hearing Chen Xi's answer, Xiong Xiu was very dissatisfied and complained: "Help the evil and help the evil! Isn't this a thief shouting to catch the thief? Shangshu Chen, didn't you go to fight with Your Majesty to let the Ministry of War thoroughly investigate the matter?"

He Jian was not as excited as Xiong Xiu, and comforted him: "Mr. Xiong, please be careful not to be impatient. This matter will naturally be solved by Shangshu Chen. It is not a solution for you to get so angry..."

Xiong Xiu said angrily: "What should I do? Watching the eunuch named Liu cover the sky with one hand? I am unwilling to accept it, really unwilling to accept it!"

Chen Xi did not express any opinions on Xiong Xiu's words. In his opinion, Xiong Xiu was not the kind of civil servant who insisted on fighting with the eunuch party to the end. This person was forgetful of his righteousness when he insisted on impeaching his former Sima Wensheng, so Chen Xi had a bad impression of this person.

Chen Xi's opinion, the reason why Xiong Xiu hated Liu Jin was so popular was because Liu Jin beat him outside the Meridian Gate to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

Chen Xi didn't want to explain more nonsense and was about to return to his office room. Wang Shouren came in outside and said, "Shangshu Chen, the two ministers and the young masters, Xie Shaofu, were away, and said he wanted to see Shangshu Chen, so he specially sent an official to report it."

Xiong Xiu snorted coldly, got up and left the main hall, and He Jian also knew him and flashed his eyes.

Chen Xi said to Wang Shouren: "I'm sorry, Xie Shaofu comes in."

Wang Shouren went out and soon invited Xie Qian to the main hall. Xie Qian looked around and Chen Xidao: "It's okay, no one has left, but it's okay!"

In order to ensure that the wall is empty, Xie Qian went to the door to look at it. After confirming that even Wang Shouren had gone far, he came over to sit next to Chen Xi, leaned over and asked, "Have you gone to see Your Majesty?"

"Um."

Chen Xi was holding a teacup in his hand and seemed calm and said, "As far as he said to the cabinet, I would like to ask His Majesty to send Liu Jin's people to investigate this case."

Xie Qian smiled and said, "You guy has a lot of ideas... Are you confident about the follow-up plan?"

Chen Xi nodded and said, "Let's see how Liu Jin reacts first. If he confesses his crimes directly to His Majesty and retreats when he sees the difficulties, then this matter will probably be left alone."

Xie Qian shook his head: "Liu Jin is in power, how could he easily surrender? I'm afraid he will continue to kill good people and take credit. You should be more careful... You promised me that the Ming Dynasty official army will slaughter my border people in exchange for credit. Otherwise, I won't spare you!"

Chen Xi saw Xie Qian's firm expression and knew it was not a joke. He immediately said, "Don't worry, the student has sent someone to stare at it... However, planning is up to others, and success is in heaven. Don't think of me as if everything is in hand. There will always be some things that will go beyond control!"

"Stop complaining to me... Since I have made a promise, I must do it. I won't talk much nonsense to you." Xie Qian seemed very stubborn. "All this matter is going smoothly. Liu Jin has basically fallen into the trap you have put on him. Now Zhang Wenmian has gone to the northwest, but he has people around him who are planning for him. His wisdom is not inferior to you, so you must be careful."

Chen Xidao: "Thank you, Master Ge, for your reminder."

Xie Qian seemed a little impatient: "Don't just say that your arrangements may be completely different in your opinion, but there are still many mistakes and it's too risky to put all your treasures on Li Pin... This way, you send someone from the Ministry of War to Xuanfu and ask Bo An to go. He is the same as you. Moreover, I have met his father before. His father is on the same position as me when he is defeating Liu Jin. You can just leave the matter to him with confidence."

"Let Bo'an go to Xuanfu, and have a good talk with Li Pin when passing Juyongguan. You must let Li Pin stand on your side. If Li Pin is bought by Liu Jin, you must also be prepared as soon as possible... As for Sun Xiucheng, who was once the governor of Xuanfu, and relied on bribing Liu Yusheng to Governor Xuanda, I have no relationship with him, so I won't think about how to gather this person for the time being!"

Chen Xi looked at Xie Qian and felt that he was being used as a gun. He wanted to say, why did you, Xie, like to point fingers in everything you do? Did you plan this? It seemed like you were planning it, but you didn't know that everything was under my control!

Chen Xidao: "Since I have promised Your Majesty that Liu Jin will be responsible for investigating this matter. If the Ministry of War sends people again, wouldn't outsiders suspect that the Ministry of War is interfering?"

Xie Qian frowned. Once Chen Xi said something against him, he would be unhappy.

Chen Xi said again: "Since Liu Jin is asked to investigate, you should do the same as giving this matter to Liu Jin with confidence. Only in this way can your Majesty not be suspicious. Only when you impeach Liu Jin with this will you be sufficiently reasonable. The matter of sending Wang Langzhong to Xuanfu as Mr. Xie said, can only be released. When Liu Jin finds the result, he may send people from the Ministry of War to Fangshi!"

Although Xie Qian still pointed at Chen Xi's actions, his patience was much better than before, at least he would not force Chen Xi to do anything.

His suggestion was not adopted by Chen Xi, and he seemed calm.

Before leaving, Xie Qian said, "Since you have planned this matter, you have decided not to send anyone to me to respect your meaning, but you must be very cautious... Liu Zhe is a vicious person who does things, and he will definitely do the things that kill good and make contributions. Don't hide anything if something happens, I will definitely take care of you."

Chen Xi saluted: "Students first thank the Master of Ge for helping him, but this time there is no need to take the initiative to do anything. We can just wait for Liu Jinxing to make a mistake and we will respond... Please rest assured that I will not take the initiative to deal with this matter. I will discuss everything with Master of Ge."

"Um."

Xie Qian was very satisfied with Chen Xi's attitude and nodded, "I don't want to add too much pressure to you. If you can handle this matter well, even if Liu Zhe is lucky enough to die, he will be in a depressed state. At that time, your position in the court will be more stable. Do your business well, and I will leave by myself, so you don't have to go out of the yamen to send it to you."

Chen Xi bowed and said goodbye and stayed in the lobby as Xie Qian ordered.

Xie Qian had just arrived at the military office, and Wang Shouren came in from outside, with a worried look on his face: "Xie Shaofu came here. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be to discuss with Zhihou that the Xuanfu local area has falsely reported military achievements, right?"

Chen Xi looked at Wang Shouren and said, "Shangshu Xie was just a few questions. The fact that the Governor General Xuanda Office falsely reported military achievements has not yet been concluded. Moreover, the Tatar troops have not been completely withdrawn. The situation on the front line will change at any time. It is too early to say something..."

"Brother Bo'an, you don't have to worry too much, all the affairs of the Ministry of War will be the same."

Wang Shouren said: "But now the court is going to hold a triumphal celebration, and even His Majesty will attend in person. Are you not worried at all?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "The military achievements are not reported by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army, but by the Sili Prison. Even if there are any mistakes, they can only be borne by Liu Jin. What do our Ministry of War need to worry about?"

"That's right, the court has always shared honor and disgrace..."

Wang Shouren and Xie Qian had the same attitude, and did not want Chen Xi to joke about the reputation of the Ming Dynasty in order to target Liu Jin. If he could defeat Liu Jin, then the Ming Dynasty would be disgraced first.

Chen Xi nodded in agreement and said, "The interests of the court, that is, the interests of the Ministry of War, will naturally be thought carefully so that the court will not lose its reputation and make the people lose their trust in the court. Brother Bo'an, there is something that may need to be entrusted to you to deal with..."

"What's the matter?" Wang Shouren asked.

Chen Xi said seriously: "Your Majesty asked Liu Jin to send someone to Xuanfu to investigate the local government's false military achievements. If Liu Jin finds out the problem, if it is okay, or if it is not found out, or intends to conceal the report, the Ministry of War will continue to send someone to investigate. I have discussed with Mr. Xie. Among the many officials of the Ministry of War, you are the most suitable. I wonder if Brother Bo'an is willing to take this job?"

Wang Shouren seemed very embarrassed: "Do you leave immediately?"

Hearing this question, Chen Xi knew that Wang Shouren was unsure of his mind and thought to himself: "Although Wang Hua has retreated from the court, some of his political thoughts naturally continued to Wang Shouren. It is understandable that Wang Shouren likes to follow his father's opinions before making a decision."

Chen Xi said: "It will take a few days to decide what to do. I just say hello to you in advance... Brother Bo'an can think about it carefully after he goes back." He said this to ask Wang Shouren to go back and discuss with Wang Hua, and Wang Hua will give appropriate opinions.

Wang Shouren bowed and took the order: "Since he is so reasonable, he must think carefully after going back."
