Xu Huizu asked him to sit down, with a look of hatred for iron and steel, looked at him for a long time, and saw that he was indeed ignorant, so he said helplessly: "Since the emperor decided to cut the domain, our Xu family has been in an embarrassing situation, and now, you, me, and the second child who is in the field, and the three of us brothers, are all in power and have become decorations." The Xu family, there is only one sign left now, don't you have any idea about the future of my Xu family? ”

Xu Zengshou glared and said, "The emperor has such a heart, what can I think?" Besides, isn't there still you? ”

Xu Huizu glared at him and said: "Originally, the emperor used Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, with the intention of using him to replace my Zhongshan Palace, make him the first person in the military general class, and weaken the power of my Xu family, because behind my Xu family, there are three vassal kings in a row, and the emperor is not at ease, this, you are also aware of this, right?" ”

Xu Zengshou sighed, and his face gradually calmed down.

Xu Huizu can of course put his heart into his heart for his brother, and he continued: "Promote Li and suppress Xu, this is the emperor's purpose, transfer the military power and the influence of my Xu family in the revolution to the hands of Li Jinglong, whom he trusts, so that the emperor can feel at ease." As for Huang Zicheng, who strongly recommends Li Jinglong, he has his plans, and his foundation is too weak!

Originally, Huang Zicheng was just a royal envoy, a professor of Guozijian, and an official from Wupin. What about Fang Xiaoru? is just a professor in Hanzhong Fuxue, an official from the ninth grade, two people ascended to the sky in one step, above the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and how many decades of cold windows, conscientious fathers and ministers are willing to be convinced?

Huang Zicheng strongly recommended Li Jinglong, let him make great contributions, and then use his military exploits to push him to the status of the first general, he can indirectly control the power of the military ministers through Li Jinglong, so as to balance the father and ministers who are not convinced by him, and truly control the court.

At this point, the civil servants must have seen that there was rejection of him as well. But the emperor suppresses the martial arts and promotes the father, which is the common interest of all fathers and ministers, Huang Zicheng is the emperor's teacher, among which they contribute the most, in order to achieve this goal, they can only make some concessions to Huang Zicheng's ambition. After all, it is in the interests of all fathers.

It's a pity that Li Jinglong's army of 800,000 was defeated. At this time, the civil officials and the military generals and relatives of the court became allies again, and the common goal became Fang Huang and the others. Although the emperor did not punish them, under such a momentum, they have no shame to continue to stand on the court, and now they have resigned from the post of Da Shanfen, and it seems that they are idlers who only receive money and are not involved in political affairs.

However, they are still the emperor's shares, and they still hold great power, but it is inconvenient to appear in public, and some power has to be shared with other fathers and officials. The ultimate interests of the civil officials and Fang Huang are one, although they are dissatisfied with Fang Huang and his ilk being promoted by Emperor En Jian, they are even more unwilling to let the military generals have another chance to fight against the civil officials.

At this time, it would not be in their interests to continue to suppress Fang Huang, so after the purpose of this step was achieved, the fragile alliance between the father and the martial arts would immediately break down. Xun Qi military generals were just used as a gun by their fathers, and now the civil officials appoint Sheng Yong as the commander of the rebellion, although Sheng Yong is a military general, but he is not a Xun Qi nor a Xun Qi faction, the foundation is too shallow and the prestige is too shallow, and there is Tie Xuan, a civil servant, to balance him, no matter how much he has made contributions, it is impossible to become the second King of Zhongshan, the second Cao Guogong, and it is impossible to unite all the military generals under his banner, do you understand? ”

Xu Zengshou asked tentatively, "What does the eldest brother mean ......,?" ”

Xu Huizu smiled faintly: "Third brother, it is inevitable that the martial artists will lose power. The Wenchen used the cutting of the feudal domain to weaken the influence of the vassal kings on the imperial court; use the rebellion to let my Xu family, the honorable relative, stand aside; took advantage of Li Jinglong's defeat to further weaken the power of all the Xun relatives in the court; Now, it uses Jian Ba Shengyong and Tie Xuan to balance and disintegrate the power of the generals. ”

He leaned back on the chair and said with interest: "Look at it, just wait for King Yan to be defeated and the vassal kings to be completely wiped out, then it will be time for the cunning rabbit to die and the lackeys to cook." At the beginning, it was Wenchen who advocated cutting the feudal domain; The one who presided over the government and commanded the rebellion was the civil minister.

Those who have great merit will be civil ministers, and the military merits of a hundred battles are not as good as a splendid article, the day that King Yan conferred it, it is time for the fathers and ministers to celebrate each other, fully control the court, and drive the military ministers like lackeys. ”

Xu Zengshou was moved when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was a great opportunity, and couldn't help but tentatively say: "Big brother, if this is the case, we should ......, and we should stand on the side of King Yan." ”

"Nonsense!"

Xu Huizu glared at him angrily and said, "You can say such a big rebellion?" ”

Xu Zengshou shrunk his neck and muttered a few words unconvinced. Xu Huizu said angrily: "Third child, although King Yan has achieved some victories, and even defeated 800,000 soldiers and horses in the imperial court, it is only because Li Jinglong, the commander, is stupid and incompetent, not that he Zhu Di has the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth, and has the ability to fight ten times the army with himself.

It is impossible for King Yan, and indeed all the vassal kings, to succeed, and sooner or later he will be wiped out by His Majesty's army, do you understand? The civil ministers are above the military ministers, not only the special civil government, but also the military and the government, which is an irreversible inevitability, do you understand? Putting that aside, the most important point! ”

Xu Huizu Huo Ran stood up and said excitedly: "Father is loyal to protect the Ming Dynasty, and his military exploits are impressive..."

As soon as he heard him mention his father, Xu Zengshou also stood up busily, and Xu Huizu said impassionedly: "My father was praised by Emperor Taizu Gao as the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty!" I Ming heroes, after the death, are all by the Hanlin official text, set up the Shinto monument, only the father, is the Emperor Taizu Gao personally wrote the inscription, for the father to erect the monument, the Shinto monument than Emperor Taizu Gao's own Shinto monument is even bigger.

Such an honor, a hero of the Ming Dynasty, is the only one. Emperor Taizu Gao even gave me the three generations of the Xu family are all princes, and the descendants have lords, and the country is resting in infinity, I am waiting for the country's grace, how can I have no respect for the emperor! No matter what the emperor wants to do, we can only obey, this is the way to be a minister! ”

Xu Zengshou rolled his eyes disapprovingly and said, "Big brother, since this is the case, why are you talking so much?" Let's hand over the power, guard our Zhongshan Palace, rely on the fields and farms rewarded by the first emperor, rely on the court's fortunes, and be a rich man! ”

"You, you, can't you use your pig's head and think about something more?"

Xu Huizu glared at the third brother angrily and said, "The emperor's will, we as courtiers, we can't disobey it." But my father spent his life for the Ming Dynasty and assisted Emperor Taizu Gao to lay down this splendid country, and only then did he come to the second generation of you and my brothers, and he was willing to let the Zhongshan Mansion fall into obscurity, and it will be extinct in the court since then? ”

Xu Zengshou said: "Big brother, I don't understand, what do you want to say after talking for a long time?" ”

Xu Huizu said: "Don't you understand? Vassal kings, it's over! Ladies and gentlemen, stand aside! Generals, it's time for your father to drive you! In the future, the person who will be in charge of the court and control the court program will be the civil minister, and among the fork ministers, Fang Huang will be the one. I asked my little sister to choose a dragon fast son-in-law for herself in today's imperial examination, that is, for our Xu family, choose a way to ride the dragon, understand? ”

Xu Zengshou hesitated: "Big brother, you are a swim... Let's take the initiative to lean on Wenchen's side? ”

Xu Huizu shouted. Angry: "The third child, you finally understand." The chief examiner of this subject is Fang Xiaoru, the protégé of the Son of Heaven in this subject, and he is also his protégé. He and Huang Zicheng are still favored by the emperor, but they don't care about any major matters. Just wait for the imperial court to win a few battles, that is, when they are again above the hundred officials, the second I Xu family, although the power is down, the past connections in the court are still there, and the prestige is still there, it is not easy to support a new science and technology jinshi, so that he can be smoother in his career? The son-in-law of our Xu family will be the protégé of the emperor's most favored minister, Fang Xiaoru, and we can use this relationship to connect with Fang Xiaoru, and through his teacher, in the same year, and countless fathers and officials between the government and the opposition.

At that time, the Yan clan has been wiped out, and the kings have all been cut down, and the emperor will not be so jealous of our Xu family. Do you understand that you have such good intentions for your brother? ”

"I see!"

Xu Zengshou showed an extremely strange look in his big eyes, as if looking at a completely strange person: "Of course I understand." The little sister is only fourteen after the New Year, and she is not in a hurry to get married at all, you are so impatient, just grab before the sunset, and build another line, take the line of filial piety, and take the line of the forked official, so as to fix the pet, right? ”

Xu Huizu's face turned red, and he said with some annoyance: "You don't belong to this family, of course you don't need to think about it so much." I don't care about my little sister's lifelong happiness, don't I want to take her with me and ask her to choose a wishful husband by herself? What's so bad about killing two birds with one stone? ”

"You're just having a troubled conscience!"

Xu Zengshou bluffed down the next sentence, turned his head and left.

Xu Huizu was furious and said, "Bastard! Give me back! ”

What answered him was a loud "bang", and Xu Huizu trembled with anger.

There was nothing to do all night, early the next morning, Xia Xun was moving in the courtyard, Zhang Xitong, the guest officer, suddenly walked into the courtyard, and when he saw Xia Xun, he winked at him, and said with a smile: "The messenger is really gone, it was so hard last night, and he was so energetic early in the morning." ”

Xia Xun laughed dryly and said: "My lord said that I laughed, early in the morning, His Royal Highness the Prince hasn't eaten yet, is there anything wrong with my lord?" ”

"Oh!" Zhang Xitong hurriedly handed over the invitation card in his hand, and said with a smile: "The Ministry of Rites is ordered, tomorrow evening, on Mochou Lake, to convene the scholars of the current branch to hold a poetry and wine event." The squire took special care and invited the envoys of the two countries to attend with him.

Xia Xun listened to it and took it with both hands, and said with a smile: "I will report to Your Highness below, Lord Shilang's good intentions, our Highness will definitely be happy to attend the meeting." ”
