Chapter 377

"But the reason cannot be told to the family of the nobles."

Although Emperor Hongzhi was rich all over the world, he couldn't do everything according to his own will.

For example, about the mutual market, although he knew it in his heart, he couldn't say it out.He had to be pointed and scolded by a group of courtiers, and outsiders didn't know about their distress.

Xie Qian sighed: "Actually, I also understand that this is probably because Jinxiu was promoted too fast and was hated by others."

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes moved slightly: "What do you mean, sir?"

Xie Qian didn't want to say this at first, but the situation was urgent and he couldn't help it.

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no 19-year-old fourth-rank official."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized.

Yes, Xie Shen's promotion speed is really too fast.

At the age of 19, he is the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Is he going to be the chief assistant at the age of 30?
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xie Qian again, as if he understood his deep meaning.

Xie Qian was also promoted very quickly, so he was often criticized. Xie Shen was following Xie Qian's old path.

The imperial court is a place that pays attention to the ranking of salary.This is true whether it is the foreign court or the cabinet.

Although Xie Shen has repeatedly offered advice and made great achievements, and has the experience of being sent to the magistrate, he is still too young after all.

It is indeed easy to be envied and hated to be the third in command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate at such a young age.

After all, there are many officials in their 50s and [-]s who are still fighting for a fourth-rank official, but Xie Shen is already wearing a scarlet robe.The discrepancy among them stimulated these officials to unite to trouble Xie Shen.

In other words, Emperor Hongzhi's decree to trade with the Tatars this time will not cause such a big repercussions.But because this memorial was submitted by Xie Shen, the situation is quite different.

"Sir, do you think this incident was instigated by Ma Qing's family?"

Although Xie Shen hated Ma Wensheng for humiliating him, he sighed, "Lord Ma is not such a person."

Although Ma Wensheng had made a bad face, it was not enough to say that he hated a 19-year-old young man.

Xie Qian said something, and did not deliberately smear Ma Shangshu's face.

"I think so too. It seems that Ma Qing's family has been taken advantage of."

Emperor Hongzhi took a personal photo with double pupils, and he can see clearly the pool of water in the court.

In his view, Zuo Shunmen's crying and remonstrance was indeed caused by Ma Wensheng, but Ma Shangshu's original intention was definitely not to make things difficult for Xie Shen.

But people with aspirations took advantage of this and used Ma Wensheng's banner to put pressure on the cabinet.

"Suppress this matter."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and said, "If they want to kneel, let them continue kneeling. When they get tired of kneeling, they will naturally disperse."

This is what Xie Qian was waiting for.In this way, it wasn't that Xie Qian didn't let him take care of it, but that the emperor didn't let him take care of it.Even that old man Liu Jian couldn't find anything wrong.

Such is the art of politics.

"Xie Yushi, many of the ministers who knelt in front of Zuo Shun's gate and wept and remonstrated fainted."

Gu Dayong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said eagerly.

When he came out from Zuoshunmen, he was shocked to see the crying and admonishing officials all fainted.

If something happened to so many people, it would not cause an uproar.

But the emperor didn't intend to persuade, and Gu Dayong didn't have much to say.

The first time he left the palace was to report to Xie Shen, hoping that Xie Shen could have a countermeasure, no matter how bad it was, he had to make preparations early to avoid being in a hurry.

He first went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but found that Xie Shen was not there, so he went to the Xie Mansion again.

It turned out that Xie Shen took sick leave and returned home early to rest.

Xie Shen smiled slightly: "Thank you, Eunuch Gu, for reminding me, but what does their fainting have to do with me?"

"Hey, my Lord Xie. Are you really ignorant or pretending not to know?"

Gu Dayong slapped his thigh anxiously.

"Is it you who wrote the memorial to exchange markets with the Tatars? Now that the ministers are crying and admonishing, His Majesty still has to give them an explanation?"

The implication is that the emperor will use Xie Shen as a shield.

Xie Shen smiled and said: "Eunuch Gu is too worried, His Majesty will not care about this matter."

"what?"

Gu Dayong was dumbfounded.

Even he, the inner eunuch, dare not claim to know what the emperor thinks, how can Xie Shen, a foreign minister, be so sure.

"Because His Majesty knows that this strategy can keep the Ming Dynasty's defense line safe for a hundred years."

Xie Shen said firmly.

Gu Dayong was serving the prince, not someone close to Emperor Hongzhi, so it was impossible to know the answer between the emperor, Xie Shen and Liu Jian.

Even Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the official seal, may not be able to know.

"If that's the case, then Sir Xie really don't need to worry too much."

Gu Dayong calmed down slightly, and said lightly.

"In this case, Mr. Xie has made preparations, but our family has worried too much."

Xie Shenxin said that Gu Dayong and Ken came to inform him at the first time, it seems that he really regards him as a friend, and they can indeed cooperate well in the future.

"Eunuch Gu, Xie thinks that these people will definitely not let it go, and there will definitely be more and more memorials to impeach Xie."

Weeping and admonishing are not famous, but these civil servants will not let it go.

They will definitely concoct a lot of crimes against Xie Shen, and then put pressure on the emperor.

"These thieves are all to be punished!"

Gu Dayong naturally hates these old men who pretend to be lofty and seek fame, and now these old men are targeting Xie Shen again, which makes Gu Dayong unbearable.

"Eunuch Gu, don't worry, they can't hurt me. Xie firmly believes in one sentence, 'Heaven is good for reincarnation'. Even if Xie doesn't take them in, God will take them in."

Gu Dayong was amused, and said with a smile: "This is the first time our family has heard this statement, but it does make sense."

Seeing Xie Shen's confident look, Gu Dayong was a little relieved.

This time it was Xie Shen who was worried.

"Eunuch Gu should not come to Xie's mansion recently. After all, there is a difference between the inner court and the outer court. Xie is worried that he will be caught by someone who wants to let him go."

Xie Shen's worry was not unreasonable.

This is an extraordinary time, so it's better to be careful.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xie. Our family will never let anyone see you when we come to see you. Besides, Mr. Xie is also a concubine, and our family serves the little emperor. Even if we see Mr. Xie, it's nothing .”

"That's the truth, but it's better to have less complications."

"Well. Our family is also here to bring a message to Mr. Xie. The little emperor hopes that His Highness can go to the Wenhua Palace more often."

"Thank you, Eunuch Gu, for your suggestion."

Xie Shen's heart warmed up, and he said in a harmonious voice.

It seems that the little prince still has feelings for him.

Xie Shen's hard work for so long was not in vain.As long as you win the prince's favor, it is worth it.

Emperor Hongzhi lived a total of five or six years, and this world is still righteous after all.

Xie Shen is starting to pave the way now, the timing is most suitable.

"The little prince really treats Mr. Xie differently. Our family has never seen any courtier who can enjoy such great kindness."
