Originally, almost everyone had no doubts about Xu Wenjue's appointment as the commander of the Jiangnan battalion, but now, the emperor's opinion was very vague, and things were developing in an unclear direction.

The opinion is vague, which means that there is no intention of letting Xu Wenjue serve as the admiral.

Xu Hongji couldn't sleep all night, not knowing what he had done wrong, which made the emperor suspicious, and his son Xu Wenjue felt even more wronged.

Zhang Shize of the Beijing Division is much more humble than himself, but why can he be reused, even the southern tour is with him, and he can't even be the governor of a Jiangnan battalion?

Unlike Zhang Shize, Xu Wenjue inherited at least half of his father's city government.

In the few times he was summoned to see the emperor, Xu Wenjue has always behaved remarkably, except for the ability to command troops that has not yet been confirmed, the other defense lines have almost completely suppressed Zhang Shize.

But he never knew the reason why Zhu Youxiao pressed him to the audience, but repeatedly entrusted Zhang Shize with great use.

For Zhu Youxiao, such as Feng Quan, a Wenchen who has descended to the Qing Dynasty in history, can still be used for himself at a special time, but Xu Wenjue, the head of the nobles who took the lead in the Qing Dynasty in Nanjing, cannot be believed in him in any case.

The governor of the Jiangnan battalion must have the same absolute loyalty to Zhu Youxiao as the governor of the Yongwei battalion.

With such a heavy role, Zhu Youxiao cannot tolerate any form of betrayal, even if this betrayal has only a 1 in 10,000 chance.

What Xu Wenjue did in history determined that no matter how good he was now, it would be impossible for Zhu Youxiao to hand over the military power to him.

Even after Xu Hongji's death, Wei Guogong's lineage may also be affected, but for now, this is a matter of the future, who can guess?

Early this morning, Xu Hongji was dragging his tired body to sit in the main hall of the Wei State Mansion, picking up a cup of tea and about to moisten his throat.

Suddenly, outside the door, his son hurried over.

"Daddy!"

"You give a comment, what did the child do wrong, why does Your Majesty not trust the child and not hand over the post of governor of Jiangnan Daying to the child!"

With a shake of his hand, half of the tea in the cup was spilled.

Xu Hongji sighed angrily and helplessly, put down the cup, but did not speak.

Xu Wenjue didn't understand the difficulties in his father's heart, so he just cared about getting the answer he wanted, and hurriedly said:

"Father, say something!"

"Otherwise, you go and beg Your Majesty, this position of the Jiangnan Battalion is the last chance for our Wei Guogong to turn over!"

"If it is handed over to that Zhang Shize, the child will not be able to swallow this breath!"

"Turn over, turn over what?!"

Xu Hongji looked at his impulsive and reckless son, and said half angrily:

"The reason why Your Majesty didn't hand over this position to you is that the influence of our Wei Guogong line is too great, and if you get the post of governor again, it will be a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of others!"

"If you are just my Xu Hongji's son, if you make a mistake, you may turn big things into small things, and small things will become nothing, and they will disappear."

"But if you are still the governor of the Jiangnan camp, the slightest disturbance will be reported to the past, Your Majesty does not doubt that it is okay."

"Once His Majesty's suspicion is aroused, at that time, if you make a little mistake, it may be a big crime to exterminate the clan!"

"Do you understand?"

Xu Wenjue really doesn't care who does this governor's position, as long as it is not Zhang Shize, he will not be so excited if he chooses someone to come up.

The main thing is that Zhang Shize and him are the heads of the future northern and southern relatives.

Zhang Shize has always been taken by the emperor's side, and he may be able to be reused after returning to Beijing, if the governor of Jiangnan Daying also lets Zhang Shize do it.

He is in the line of Wei Guogong, what will he use to fight against the British Gongyi in the future?

"Now there are rumors from the government and the opposition that His Majesty wants to let that Zhang Shize stay in Jinling and be the governor of the Jiangnan camp."

Xu Wenjue sulked, his eyes scattered, and said:

"The child is just not convinced, he Zhang Shize loses to me more than anything, why can he be this governor, either I don't do it, and he doesn't do it."

"Or, this governor has to be done by me Xu Wenjue!"

Xu Hongji's face was full of hatred, his mouth moved, and he was about to reprimand, but he saw the housekeeper running in in a hurry and said:

"Master, Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong is here, saying that he has something important to see!"

Zhao Zhilong, what is he here to do?

Xu Hongji's face was full of worry, for this Zhao Zhilong, maybe others haven't seen it, but he has long understood that this person is not right-minded and has great ambitions!

looked to the side again, and found that his son Xu Wenjue heard that Zhao Zhilong was coming, his face was full of joy, and he felt that something was wrong.

He didn't want Zhao Zhilong to come in, but Zhao Zhilong has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and coming here at this juncture is likely to be here to spread some urgent news.

After thinking about it, he still said:

"Call him in."

Xu Hongji looked at Xu Wenjue's face full of joy, and couldn't help but scold: "Don't get too close to Zhao Zhilong, he is not a good person!" ”

Xu Wenjue was stunned for a moment, smiled, and said:

"I know, don't you just look down on me, can't I stop talking to him?"

"You, you rebel ——!"

Xu Hongji almost didn't come up in one breath, and felt that his head was a little dizzy from anger.

After a while, Zhao Zhilong came to the hall with a gloomy face, hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Wei Guogong, and the little grandfather..."

Xu Hongji was angry, and he was not very optimistic about Zhao Zhilong, so he snorted coldly and did not bird him, but Xu Wenjue, who greeted him in private.

Xu Hongji saw it, held back his anger, and asked in a sullen voice:

"What are you asking for this time?"

Zhao Zhilong did not hesitate and said directly:

"The Duke of Wei may have known about the fact that Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were summoned to meet a while ago, and during this period of time, what His Majesty said to the two of them, there are different opinions, and no one knows."

"I've inquired in many ways, and I already know a seven-seven-eighty-eight!"

Xu Hongji had long understood that Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were summoned at this time, and the emperor naturally had something important to entrust.

At this time, as the head of the honorable relatives, I don't know how many people are staring, and there is no wind at all.

Before he could refuse, he heard Xu Wenjue stroking his palm and laughing: "Okay, okay, you said to hear it, my father has been discussing this matter a long time ago." ”

Zhao Zhilong was afraid that Xu Hongji would not listen, so he couldn't pull him into the water.

Xu Wenjue was so easy to be fooled, he naturally got off the donkey directly, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal..."

"My people found out that after Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting left, the Qianqing Palace sign in front of the emperor sent a will, and allocated more than 2 million taels of silver from the internal treasury!"

Xu Wenjue's face was full of surprise, his eyes widened, and he immediately asked, "Two million taels, this is not a small amount!" Who did it all give to? ”

Zhao Zhilong spread his hands and said that he didn't know, and sneered:

"The palace is so secretive, how can I know so much?"

"Although I don't know who to give it to, I heard that since then, Sun Chuanting's Qin army and Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army have received a batch of new armor and ordnance from the Shandong Ordnance Division."

"Right now, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng are expanding their armies in Suzhou and Xijiangkou respectively, and it is difficult to say that this is not Your Majesty's will..."
