Xu Hongji was not surrounded by Zhao Zhilong, he sneered and asked:

"What are you trying to do with me?"

Zhao Zhilong secretly cursed the old immortal thing in his heart, his face remained unchanged, and he said in a low voice:

"The Duke of Wei is diligent and loyal to the monarch and the country, but in the end he is suspected by His Majesty, and the little grandfather is also Wen Ke Anbang, Wu Ke Chao, but he cannot be reused."

"You Wei Guogong is a descendant of the famous founding general Zhongshan King, and you should be the co-head of the northern and southern nobles, and I am really sorry for you when you get this treatment now."

Xu Hongji had already guessed what Zhao Zhilong was thinking, his face was full of sneers, and he didn't want to follow him on this tattered thief ship.

It was Xu Wenjue who was moved by Zhao Zhilong's heartfelt words.

He shouted, saying:

"That's it!"

"What Uncle Xin Cheng said is true, my thesis on martial arts, which point is not as good as him Zhang Shize, Your Majesty is really as those literati said, dim and deaf!"

"He doesn't want such a civil and military all-round talent as me, but he likes a waste..."

Zhao Zhilong nodded again and again, admiring this divine assist in his heart.

And cursed secretly in his heart, thinking that if Xu Hongji suddenly died at this time, it would be of great benefit to him.

"I am about to play Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei Guogong, and never again have any real power position, and when the performance is sparse, what does Your Majesty want Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting to do in Jiangnan has nothing to do with me."

Xu Hongji glared at Xu Wenjue, then looked at Zhao Zhilong, who was shocked, and said:

"If Uncle Xincheng is fine, my father-in-law still has some things, so I won't send it more?"

Zhao Zhilong was dumbfounded for a long time.

He really didn't expect Xu Hongji to be so ruthless, in order not to wade into this troubled water, he directly played Wei Guogong's line and never held a real post again, this is to show loyalty to the apocalypse.

At this time, the butler walked in and made a gesture of please.

"Xincheng Bo——?"

Zhao Zhilong was stunned for a moment, bowed his hand slightly, and didn't say more, Xu Hongji could even say such things, that is, he had made up his mind not to interfere in the selection of the Jiangnan camp.

Doesn't he understand that Jiangnan Daying is not a Nanjing noble, and it has a huge impact on the nobles of the entire south?

Does he want the Southern Honorable Relatives to let the Northern Honorable Nobles be overwhelmed forever from now on?

With such a resentful thought, Zhao Zhilong walked out of the gate of the Wei State Mansion, he turned his head to look at the guards in front of the door, and suddenly had a plan, and muttered:

"This is a sloppy performance, and he must not be sent out."

......

After Zhao Zhilong left, Xu Hongji couldn't hold back his anger anymore, kicked over the table in front of him, stood up and pointed at Xu Wenjue, and shouted:

"What do you want to do, the governor of the Jiangnan battalion, just making you salivate?"

"Your Majesty hasn't decided on a candidate yet, he's just waiting, waiting for us dog to eat dog, whoever says something and does something at this time, he will all take a note, and settle the account after the autumn!"

"How did Ye Xianggao die, and how did Yang Lian die?"

"You, you're going to force me Wei Guogong to a desperate end!!"

Xu Wenjue still didn't think that this matter would be so big, he ignored Xu Hongji's admonition, and turned his head and walked out of the main hall.

The housekeeper looked at Xu Hongji's angry appearance, and was really worried about his body.

Xu Hongji is over forty years old, and in the last years of Wanli, he was still entrusted with important tasks by the Wanli Emperor, and he supervised the garrison to train in the river, but in recent times, his body has been getting worse day by day.

After Xu Wenjue's repeated and repeated confrontations, his eyes finally turned black, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to help, but after all, he was a step too slow.

Xu Hongji fell heavily to the ground, and when he woke up later, it was already late at night the next day, and he looked at his wife Zhang and several concubines in front of him.

"Ahem, cough, cough..."

"Grandpa is awake!"

Although Zhang's are half-old, they still have charm, and when they heard Xu Hongji coughing, they knew that he had woken up, and told him to rest.

Xu Hongji knows that some things really can't be delayed.

He withdrew the others, leaving only the housekeeper and the Zhang family, and said to the two of them: "Zhao Zhilong must have a bad plot against me before. ”

"Ziyin is young, I'm afraid that he will be bullied, I want you to take my music and go to the palace to see Your Majesty, and I will go tonight."

"It's late, I'm afraid that Zhao Zhilong's rebirth incident will endanger my Wei Guogong's lineage."

Zhang raised a face that cried like pear blossoms and rain, and saw that Xu Hongji was so weak that he couldn't bear to leave him.

"Since the founding of Taizu, I have been favored by the emperor, even if I can no longer serve the country, I can't do such wrong things and smear the name of my ancestors."

Zhang Shi suddenly felt a heavy burden, and nodded quickly, the housekeeper was about to leave with him, Xu Hongji beckoned him to come over, and said:

"I have other important things to entrust with you."

......

"Xu Hongji has been seriously ill for a day, shouldn't he..."

Yesterday, Zhu Youxiao received news from Tian Ergeng in the palace, saying that Xu Hongji suddenly fell ill and was about to finish playing, and he still didn't believe it was true.

In history, Xu Hongji lived to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, which was only three years of the apocalypse, and there was no accident in the middle, he could still live for more than 20 years.

Until today, it was reported that since Zhao Zhilong left the Wei Mansion, Xu Hongji has fallen ill and has been in a coma for a day and a night.

This is strange, what did Zhao Zhilong say, he could make Xu Hongji angry like this.

For this Duke of Wei, both historically and his performance after his southern tour to Nanjing, Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied.

If he dies early, who will suppress the group of Nanjing nobles?

Xu Wenjue?

Zhu Youxiao always had a layer of window paper in his heart that was not pierced, but he couldn't believe him.

"Emperor, something big has happened."

Not long after, Wang Chaofu hurriedly ran into the Anding Hall and said, "Zhang, the wife of the Duke of Wei, was killed on the way to the palace!" ”

"What did you say, she had someone cut off right under my nose?"

Zhu Youxiao pinched the handle of the chair and got up suddenly when he heard the words, and this action also made the rest of the attendants tremble in fright.

It didn't take long for the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion to carry Zhang's flesh-and-blood corpse into the Anding Palace, and Zhu Youxiao squatted down and unfolded her tightly clenched hand.

There was a small scrap of paper inside, on which only one word could be seen.

“… Minister..."

Zhu Youxiao squatted in place, thought quietly for a moment, gently stroked the dead Zhang's eyelids, and said with relief: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out about this matter." ”

Immediately, Zhu Youxiao stood up, took his sword, and ordered:

"Tell Chen Ce to take a team of soldiers and me to the Wei State Mansion!"

On the way, Zhu Youxiao kept thinking.

Xu Hongji was only afraid that he was really seriously ill, and he couldn't do this kind of thing by himself, but he asked Zhang to come and send the chapter, which was definitely not a trivial matter.

Zhang's interception and killing on the road just illustrates this.

It is because of this that Zhu Youxiao has to investigate thoroughly.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, a dignified Duchess of Wei and her servants were all intercepted and killed, which was not only the negligence of the government, but also the fault of himself as the emperor.

In this case, Zhu Youxiao always had a feeling that it was not so simple.

The group rushed to the Wei Mansion in a hurry, Chen Ce was shocked, the Wei Mansion was actually wearing linen and filial piety from top to bottom.

Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, actually died like this!
