Chapter 189: Heart of Sheji(2/2)

Chen Xi stood up and bowed: "Has Mr. Xie had something to do to give me advice, so the students could only come over to ask for advice as an appointment. I wonder what it was?"

Xie Qian raised his hand and interrupted Chen Xi's problem. He walked to the door, called the doorman standing at the gate of the courtyard, handed over the memorial book, and said, "Send it back to the mansion. I will return home tonight. You don't have to worry about it here!"

Judging from this situation, Xie Qian wanted to send his slaves away. It seemed that there was something important to discuss with him. He had to clear the scene first and make the walls clear.

After the concierge left with the memorial book, Chen Xi asked: "Since Mr. Xie has already approved the memorial book, why don't he send it to the Silijian, but to send it back to the mansion first?"

Xie Qian turned around and walked to the desk, picked up a book casually, flipped through it and put it down, glanced at Chen Xi with a squint eyes and said, "Of course, you have to consider the memorials in detail. You must be curious about what these memorials say, right? When you came in, you didn't see the two people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Justice coming? Guess what happened?"

Chen Xi let out a sigh and said, "Is it because of impeachment of Liu Yu and Liu Ji and other eunuchs?"

Xie Qian said: "It's a pity that you can recognize the direction of the current dynasty. It's because of this! Liu Yu and Liu Ji are both backbones of the eunuch party promoted by Liu Jin. They have done evil in the court. How many things have they done to harm the court in the past year? There are chaos in selling official positions and titles. I don't know how to clean up the misfortune left by the eunuch party!"

Chen Xi didn't say anything. In his opinion, in any feudal dynasty, it would be difficult to ban the sale of official positions and titles, and even the emperor would promote some of his confidants to important yamen.

As an extraordinary promotion to the Minister of War, Chen Xi believed that it was not his turn to be promoted to the top of his seniority. Although his repeated promotions were not the result of selling official positions, in the eyes of most court officials, it was because he had the title of emperor teacher today.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "In this era, if you want to be promoted, you either rely on favors or money, you must have the same thing. It doesn't matter, no background or money, you only need to be promoted based on political achievements. You have to wait until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month? Even if the civil servant group does not collect cash to promote officials, they have to talk about human nature and worldly style, which is not much better than the eunuch party."

When Xie Qian saw Chen Xi, he asked, "What do you think about this? Wei Bin was taken down, you have made great contributions. In fact, those two people just now want to hear your opinions. It was me who asked them to take the lead. I think you don't have to charge forward in this matter, but let them come forward to handle it. You have gained the absolute trust of Your Majesty. If you are destined to make Your Majesty unhappy, please leave it to us old guys to do this!"

Chen Xidao: "As for saying this, I would like to thank the elders for their understanding?"

Xie Qian glanced at Chen Xi with a slant and said, "No one makes you grateful. You are a civil servant. There is no big difference in what we do. Now I just want to ask your opinions. How do you think you impeach so that the court will not be hurt?"

Chen Xi smiled and thought about it.

In the past, you old guys never listened to the opinions of young people and acted arbitrarily. Now you know that my opinions work. Even if you already have detailed plans, you still have to listen to my opinion first. I really don’t know if this is the importance of me or just want to win me over, making me feel like you are a member of your camp!

"Why don't you talk?" Xie Qian frowned.

Chen Xi refused to say it several times, which made Xie Qian a little annoyed, thinking that Chen Xi was pretending to be profound again.

Chen Xi asked: "Since Master Xie has made a final decision, I only need to make an agreement based on the results of the previous discussion... I think I am involved in it, which is exactly the same as Master Xie's opinion!"

Xie Qian frowned: "I'm not asking you to participate now, I just want to hear what you mean. If you think there is a deviation in impeachment and there will be problems, I will refer to your opinions."

Chen Xi spread his hands: "If I say that it is not suitable to impeach the eunuch party such as Liu Yu and Liu Ji, will Xie Ge Lao listen to my opinion?"

"Um!?"

Xie Qian had previously expressed that he would listen to Chen Xi's opinions, but after Chen Xi made such remarks, his face changed immediately. He was obviously unwilling to accept this proposal and scolded him angrily: "You are not old, but you are very knowledgeable. You will definitely say that now is not the best time to eradicate the eunuch party. You must wait patiently, especially when His Majesty has clear disgust and exclusion of Liu Jin before he can completely settle it, right?"

"Have you ever thought that if you don't take this opportunity to beat the dog in the water, the eunuch party in the court will be defeated in one fell swoop. When Liu Jin comes back, his power will still return to his original appearance?"

Chen Xi disagreed: "When Liu Jin comes back, the situation cannot be the same as before, right?"

A word made Xie Qian look a little more suspicious.

Chen Xi said: "Liu Jin is a smart man and knows how to restrain himself. This time he fought with ministers in the court, but he was defeated and sent to the border to serve as a military supervisor. It is a blessing to be able to come back alive. When he returns to Beijing, there will be foreign relatives in the court who will seize military power from him and fight with civil servants in the court. His original power has been falling apart frequently. What kind of influence does he have?"

Xie Qian said sternly: "If you cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, you will be left with troubles!"

Chen Xi sighed, "What Mr. Xie said may be correct, but I have never considered one thing, that is, why should we eliminate the root cause? Isn't there any Zhang Yuan still there to kill one Liu Jin? Even if you kill Zhang Yuan, Qian Ning, Li Xing and other nearby servants around His Majesty, will there still be relatives who abduct power?"

"There will never be a shortage of people in power in this court. Your Majesty will not return to the government for a day, and someone will always need help to take care of it. How dare you ask Your Majesty to maintain full trust in the ministers in the court?"

Xie Qian let out a "hiss" sound and said annoyedly: "Why do you always put forward different opinions from others? Then according to your opinion, you want to keep Liu Jin and let him fight with his relatives?"

"Hmph, do you think you can control Liu Jin? After he returns to the court, you will be the first person to suffer! Liu Jin hates you so much. Do you think he will use normal means to deal with you? Even if you set fire to kill someone, what can you do to him?"

Chen Xi smiled without saying a word.

Xie Qian was very annoyed. He knew that his communication method with Chen Xi was a bit wrong.

As a senior in the officialdom, Xie Qian believed that Chen Xi was selfish, arbitrary, stubborn, and was not as good as himself in every way. But the result was that Chen Xi could make a strange move every time and always gained the lead when facing eunuchs and relatives.

Xie Qian did not debate with Chen Xi, so he picked up a copy of the manuscript on the table and handed it to Chen Xi: "Now you don't need to ask too much advice. You should first look at this memorial for impeachment. If you think there is nothing wrong, leave a name on it!"

Chen Xi took the manuscript and saw that it was a memorial to the ministers jointly impeach the eunuch party.

Chen Xi asked, "Didn't Master Xie not let me participate in this matter?"

Xie Qian said angrily: "Even if you don't be the vanguard, you have to follow the crowd. You can't just pick you out. What do you think about the Chinese civil and military ministers in the court?"
