Shen Ming looked self-deprecating, shook his head, and asked with a wry smile: "Does Lord Shen think I don't look like me?"

Chen Xi was speechless for a moment.

As for Shen Mingyou's current status as an emperor's servant, his status is extraordinary, and it is not difficult to enter and exit the Zhanshi Mansion, but Chen Xi couldn't understand why Shen Mingyou gave him a reminder. In a vague way, he could feel that Shen Mingyou was conveying the emperor's meaning to him clearly.

"What is the purpose of the words that Eunuch Zhang reminded?" Chen Xi asked knowingly.

Shen Mingyou said: "In fact, there is not much deep meaning. It's just that I am upset when I see Your Majesty, and I accidentally talk to myself, or I pick up my pen to write many messy words. I secretly remembered it and told Lord Shen. I did this for the first time, but I didn't know how to inform me, so I had to take the risk."

Chen Xi was secretly surprised. This was just playing with fire!

As a close servant, the most taboo thing is to guess the superior intention and collude with foreign ministers, and Shen Mingyou takes all these two things.

The study of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty began during the Xuande period when Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. Grand Secretary Chen Shan was the first teacher of Neishutang, and it has been more than fifty years since the current Hongzhi period. But please note that the eunuchs who studied in Neishutang have certain age restrictions, and most of them were around ten years old. Many of the eunuchs who entered the palace halfway were illiterate, such as Wei Zhongxian, who was powerful in the court and the country, could not read.

But Shen Mingyou is an anomaly. He is the only one in the Shen family generation who can read except Shen Mingwen. He used to be lazy, but his brain was very flexible. He could coax the strong old lady around at home. He always thought that he was capable and diligent, and was the most trustworthy son, which shows that he had good foundation in flattery.

Such a person who stays with the emperor to do things, has rich experience and insight, and knows how to use his nephew to collude with internal and external forces, may be a powerful character in the future.

"Why did Eunuch Zhang come to the Ganqing Palace? Didn't you do things in Kunning Palace before?" Chen Xi raised the question in his heart.

Shen Mingyou sighed, "Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. Lord Shen thought I don't understand this principle? The original Eunuch Xu was a good man, but unfortunately he did something that made the queen dissatisfied. In order to know His Majesty's every move, the queen sent me, who had just entered the palace, to the Ganqing Palace to accompany him."

Chen Xi nodded: "The queen thinks that Eunuch Zhang has no faction in the palace and will not be a double-faced person between His Majesty and the Queen, right?"

"Mr. Shen is a smart person, you can see through it at a glance."

Shen Ming patiently explained, "Brother Jianchang once sent a woman to the palace while the queen was lying in bed, but Eunuch Xu knew that the matter would not be reported. The queen did not make any statement at that time, and it took another month or two to make suggestions to Your Majesty that Eunuch Xu would be given a reward for his hard work and contributions. So he sent Eunuch Xu to the Imperial Horse Supervisor as the eunuch, and then I would add Eunuch Xu's position to the position of Eunuch Xu!"

Chen Xi didn't care whether Zhu Youzhe had women other than Queen Zhang. Even if an emperor wanted to choose a few imperial concubines, it would be no big deal. This only means that Queen Zhang was a jealous woman.

Chen Xidao: "Why did that father-in-law Zhang help me?"

"Because they are the same clan."

Shen Ming looked sad, "But that was a thing of the past. Now I only ask Lord Shen to treat Erlang, Saburo and Goro well, especially Goro. He is not old, if he can receive it from the capital."

It turned out that Shen Mingyou was for his son.

The Shen family now shows signs of revival, but it is all because the fifth house has produced the top scorer, and the second house has no scholar. Shen Ming has become a eunuch, and his son is illiterate and cannot be promoted through the imperial examination in the future. He can only rely on others to help him.

"Earlier, my father and mother had arrived in the capital. I asked about some things about my second uncle of the same clan. I don't know how to answer." Chen Xi sighed, "But I heard that my second aunt came to the capital, but I don't know if my uncle knew."

"There is no need to be cared about this matter. She is blessed by the Marquis of Shouning and now she has no worries about food and clothing. I just hope that Lord Shen can treat Wulang well, and all my hopes are on him."

This matter involves Shouning Hou. Needless to say, Shen Ming indirectly informed the Shouning Hou.

However, Qian traveled thousands of miles to the capital. If he knew that her husband had become a eunuch, could this woman bear it?

The two continued to walk towards the palace gate, but their speed naturally slowed down. Chen Xi briefly explained the situation at home, especially the recent situation of the old lady Li. Chen Xi deliberately said that the old lady always couldn't help but mention the name of her second son Shen Mingyou after she suffered from "hysteria", which made Eunuch Zhang cry like rain now.

When he was about to leave the palace, Shen Ming felt lost: "I'm sorry for my ancestors, don't mention it to my family, just think I'm dead!"

Chen Xi thought for a moment, nodded heavily, and then warned: "Eunuch Zhang should not get too close to foreign ministers, otherwise it may cause death. As for Wulang's side, I will mention it to my family."

"Thank you, Lord Shen, for your reminder."

Shen Mingyou sent Chen Xi out of the palace gate and gave Chen Xi a deep gift. He seemed to say goodbye, but in fact he was grateful.

Perhaps Shen Mingyou knew that the second house had a low status in the Shen family. If he wanted to get Chen Xi to take care of his son, he had to make some contributions, so he would notify his nephew in writing what he heard and saw on weekdays.

Chen Xi finally knew why Emperor Hongzhi was so happy after seeing his two memorials, because the suggestions he made were clearly what the emperor thought, and the only thing was that it was not as comprehensive as Chen Xi provided.

"Sir, have you returned home?"

The official sedan chair parked at the gate of the palace was also responsible for sending Chen Xi back.

Chen Xi then remembered his beautiful wife who was giving birth at home, so he quickly got into the sedan chair and rushed to home.

Ganqing Palace.

After discussing the matter with Xie Qian, Zhu Youzhang seemed very happy and said, "Xie Aiqing has recommended a pillar of talent for me. His morality, talent, knowledge and knowledge are far above those mediocre ministers!"

When Xie Qian heard that Emperor Hongzhi had such a high evaluation of Chen Xi, he couldn't help but be frightened and frightened for Chen Xi: "Your Majesty said that Chen Yude was young and how could he deserve such praise from His Majesty?"

"Haha, I am happy today. If we follow Chen Yude's recommendations and disintegrate all parts of the grassland, then our northern border in the Ming Dynasty will be safe and sound in the next few decades. How much expenses can this save us? The soldiers will not sprinkle blood on the battlefield, and the people will not be displaced."

Zhu Youzhe was excited and coughed violently. It took him a long time to calm down, but his face was flushed, "Oh! My health is not as good as before. If I go two years ago, I will definitely drink a few drinks to celebrate."

Xie Qian quickly advised: "Your Majesty's dragon body is the most important thing."

"I also know that health is important, but unfortunately many things cannot be neglected." Zhu Youzhang said with emotion, "Now the national treasury is not enough to make ends meet, and the court needs money and food everywhere, so I can't sleep or eat. The prince is young, if I can't afford to get sick."

"Your Majesty is healthy and protected by God, how can you get sick?" Xie Qian said hurriedly.

Zhu Youtang waved his hand: "Xie Aiqing doesn't need to do this. My health is clearer than anyone else. If Xie Aiqing has time, please mention the prince more. He has to bear huge pressure that others can't imagine at such a young age. Maybe it's because I have too high expectations for him!"

“Yes, yes.”

When Xie Qian heard this, he quickly bowed.

Zhu Youtu said: "I won't mention my health, but I said that Chen Xi has read the prince's daily life records and found that the prince's lecture on Chen Yude is the most serious. When I asked about his knowledge in the 21 history, he can basically answer the questions and have novel and unique insights, which makes me feel deeply pleased."

Xie Qian was secretly happy in his heart. How could the capable person I like? Chenxi, Chenxi, you are lucky enough to make the emperor pay attention to you. It is just around the corner.

"pity."

Zhu Youzhang changed the subject, "Chen Xi has always been too young. If he takes on a great responsibility, he may be underestimated by foreign officials. I know that he has outstanding abilities, but outsiders don't know it!"

Xie Qian asked: "That's all that His Majesty can give him experience."

"I think so too. Shangshu Fu of the Ministry of Rites requested to send Chen Xi to Yingtian Prefecture to serve as the chief examiner of the provincial examination. However, I thought that he was important to teach the prince and was a close friend and playmate with the prince, so I planned to keep him in the capital." Zhu Youzhe said, "I think the provincial examination of Shuntian Prefecture can be handed over to him. Although his age and qualifications may cause criticism, it is also an opportunity to accumulate reputation."

Xie Qian was about to accept advice from Emperor Hongzhi about Chen Xi's inability to go to Yingtian Mansion to preside over the provincial examination because of family affairs. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhang took the initiative to mention it, and immediately said yes, and felt secretly happy: "It's really easy to get it. Looking back, I told the boy that it was me who strongly advised His Majesty to take back his life and keep you in the capital. In this way, that brat owes me a huge favor."

Zhu Youting smiled and said, "The performance of Shen Yude is very suitable for me, but this cannot be separated from Xie Aiqing's recommendation. Xie Aiqing is really my Xiao He and Zhang Liang. He is a capable person who is my indispensable minister!"

Xie Qian was very honored and cried bitterly: "It is the duty of an old minister to recommend the wise and capable people to Your Majesty. How dare you be praised by Your Majesty so much?"

"Of course I have to praise you if you do well!"

Zhu Youzing smiled and said, "Although Chen Yude is talented and capable, he always needs some advice. Xie Aiqing might as well bring him to his side and ask for his fate. If he can help the prince succeed in his studies in the future, he may become a famous minister."

Xie Qian's heart sank. He heard that Zhu Youzhang's words had a faint meaning of "entrusting the orphan" or that Emperor Hongzhi felt that he was not healthy and hoped that the prince would become a talent as soon as possible. Chen Xi was a good helper to assist the prince. In addition, the emperor asked him to give Chen Xi more, cultivate his ability to stand alone, and prepare for the future entry into the cabinet.

"The old minister remembers it."

Xie Qian was worried about Min Gui's words in the court that he was too close to Chen Xi. Now he was thinking that I was ordered by the emperor to "recommend" Chen Xi. Chen Xi came to my house again in the future and see who would dare to say anything.

"Okay, Xie Aiqing should go back early, it's getting late." Zhu Youzhang sat for more than an hour during the afternoon of the morning. Now he sat in the Ganqing Palace for more than two hours. His whole body looked pale and his fatigue appeared. He waved to Xie Qian weakly, got up and went back to the inner palace to rest.

Xie Qiangong sent the sage to leave, and then he proudly left the Ganqing Palace and prepared to return to the cabinet to handle affairs.

Before he could take a few steps, he saw Liu Daxia coming in a hurry.

When Liu Daxia entered the palace this time, he asked Emperor Hongzhi for instructions on the dispatch of troops and horses on the frontier. During the Wu Dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi was not clear. Liu Daxia was cautious and always had to ask clearly afterwards whether the troops drawn from various provinces should continue to stay on the frontier, or to return to their original positions, or to lay off the old and weak and then garrison the border.

"Shangshu Liu, are you trying to meet the saint?"

Xie Qian smiled and his joy was written on his face.

Liu Daxia is much older than Xie Qian, but in terms of status, the Minister of War is still not as powerful as the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Both of them are now considered celebrities in front of Emperor Hongzhi, and it is understandable to praise each other when they meet.

After the ceremony, Liu Daxia explained the purpose of entering the palace. Xie Qian analyzed it briefly and said, "I think it is better for Shangshu Liu to not bother Your Majesty at this moment. Your Majesty has been dealing with government affairs continuously and is tired and needs to take a good rest. As for the matters on the border, just write the question and hand it over to the cabinet."

"good."

Shangshu Liu trusted Xie Qian very much, and Grand Secretary Xie was favored by Emperor Hongzhi. Otherwise, why did the emperor leave him alone after the dynasty?

"Does the Master know what your Majesty is asking for Shen Yude?"

Before leaving, Liu Daxia asked casually.

Xie Qian smiled and said, "Your Majesty is going to promote and use it. Liu Shangshu did not report to Chen Yude, but he did not fulfill his achievements. Otherwise, Your Majesty would really not know where to arrange such a great hero. Now there is an errand suitable for him."
