Chapter 79
"Okay, okay." Chen Man's face was flushed with anger, he did have a verbal agreement with Xu Yingbin, the old Nan'an Marquis, but at that time, Xu Yingbin had just served as a defense envoy, and he was a powerful clan in Fuzhou, and Chen Manman felt that he had climbed a good family business. Later, Xu Yingbin died depressed, and Chen Man could not come out to support Nan'an Hou Mansion under the current trend, and even two years after Xu Yingbin's death, when Xu Zixian's brothers and sisters lived a miserable life, Chen Man already had a plan to break the contract, but Jingyuan Hou Mansion is also an empty Hou Mansion, and there is also a deficit, life is not easy, Chen Man picks it up, and there are few decent families who are willing to marry his family, so later Chen Jingzhong still married his little sister to the house, after marriage, Chen Man was very dissatisfied with the little sister's dowry of only a few thousand yuan, plus Xu Zixian was not interested, They are all marginal characters in the clan, and there is no one in their mother's family, so you can imagine how difficult the little sister's life in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion was.
Now that Xu Zixian is in the limelight, Chen Man wants to formalize the marriage contract, but he hits a nail at the end, and the anger in his heart can be imagined.
At the moment, he sneered a few times, and Chen Man said: "Maybe Nan'an Hou Mansion can really be proud, and it depends on the future." β
Xu Zixian smiled and said nothing, Chen Man said goodbye to Chen Dujing, and left with Chen Jingzhong and Chen Jingfu brothers.
"Please forgive the little nephew for being rude...... Xu Zixian turned his head and apologized to Chen Dujing: "It's not that the little nephew is not broad-minded enough, it's really difficult to compromise on this matter, but in your mansion, he was a villain and offended the guests of your mansion, this is the little nephew's not ......"
"Mingda, you don't have to say much." Chen Dujing said with a smile: "This matter is that Marquis Jingyuan has some Meng Lang, how can there be such a reason to say such things in public!" In this matter, I will try my best to help you turn around, but it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Nan'an Hou Mansion and the Jingyuan Hou Mansion to be reconciled again. β
Xu Zixian hugged his fists and said: "Everything is arranged by my uncle, as for the little nephew, I want to be worthy of my heart when I act, and I can't ask for everything to be perfect." β
"Okay, okay." Chen Dujing admired Xu Zixian in front of him more and more, but his heart moved, and he also smiled slightly bitterly. Chen Man is courting for his son, and it is extremely embarrassing for Xu Zixian to refuse, if he mentions the marriage contract of the year, Xu Zixian does not agree, then his old face has no place to put it is still a trivial matter, and his daughter's lifelong event can be delayed.
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Dujing certainly wouldn't continue.
Xu Zixian is such a person, he can see Chen Dujing's thoughts at a glance, and he can't help but regret it at the moment, today is too much of an elephant, and he missed this opportunity, and he doesn't know when it will be decided next time.
But after thinking about it, now that a lot of things have just begun, Fuzhou City has just recognized his identity as a rising star, and he wants Chen Dujing to admit the marriage contract without hesitation, but he still has to wait.
The Changwen Hou Mansion is not the Nan'an Hou Mansion, many things are to be discussed within the clan, and this family affair is over, which means that the Changwen Hou Mansion and the Nan'an Hou Mansion are completely tied together, and Chen Dujing is also very likely to discuss with the people in the clan before he can really make a decision.
The oral marriage contract is just oral, for example, when there was a marriage, Chen Dujing still married his third daughter to Xu Ziwen, for these big families, the interests of the clan are always above everything, even if it is to break the letter and break the promise, sorry for the son of the deceased, there is no way to do it.
"This elegant gathering, you can get a wonderful text, it is worth the trip." Chen Dujing said to everyone: "At this time, it is the time for the crabs to be fat, and the old man has prepared a crab banquet in the house, hoping that you will drink and eat crabs, and make more good poems, good words and good articles." β
Li Mingyu heard the words and joked: "This time, there is a wonderful essay in front, which is worth ten years of Chen's Yulubai, and in his later life, he made up his mind not to write an essay, and Zhu Tai is in front, and he doesn't want to make a fool of himself." β
This person is really straightforward, and he also gave a very good example to others, and everyone said together: "The wonderful text of the prince of Nan'an Hou is already worth this party, so let's eat crabs and drink." β
At an elegant gathering, many scribes and celebrities gathered, how many nobles were present, but only Xu Zixian wrote an article, and tonight from beginning to end, almost all the time around Xu Zixian, it can be described as extremely glorious.
Not only did the little sister's eyes flash with tears, and she was deeply proud of her brother, it was Chen Wenjun, who had always had a cold temper, and she also looked at Xu Zixian with both eyes blinking, even though there were many powerful children present, who were like Yushu in the wind, compared to Xu Zixian, they were all overshadowed.
β¦β¦
When Xu Zixian and Xiaomei returned to the Hou Mansion, they had already changed, and compared to the situation in Nan'an Town, Fuzhou City was still very lively.
Not to mention those big families who take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to entertain guests, the sound of silk and bamboo is transmitted to the street through the tall courtyard wall, even ordinary people's homes, they will also call friends and feast in the large and small restaurants in the market.
Laughter, the smell of wine, food, meat, and all kinds of juggling are all carried out in the bright and daytime bustling of the city, and the sound of laughter can be heard from time to time, and many children do not have to go to bed early, and follow the adults to run and play in the streets.
The little sister sat in the car, and also lifted the curtain from time to time to look out, Xu Zixian felt that no matter what, the little sister is still a little girl under the age of thirteen, the childlike heart has not gone, and she is still at the age of being spoiled in front of her parents in the later life, but at this time, she is in the other courtyard for herself to preside over the house, and it is really difficult for her to think about it.
"We also have a few ...... with good family backgrounds" When they arrived at the Hou Mansion, Xu Zixian lied and said: "Wei Yanke just told me that his little sister and Xu Zizhang's little sister are the same age as you, and they are very happy to hear that you are back in the city, and they want us to come here to visit and live in our house, what do you think, little sister?" β
Xiaomei said happily: "Of course, this is the best, I miss them too." β
Xu Zixian smiled slightly, stroked the top of the little sister's head, and said, "It's good if you can be happy." β
The little sister also smiled, but her eyes were slightly red in a blink of an eye, obviously remembering the day when her father failed to see her brother so promising, which inevitably made her sad.
Xu Zixian himself has no regrets? The relatives in this life, the blood relatives are only the parents and the little sister in front of them, if the parents are still alive, how can they not make the old man laugh? It's a pity that the son wants to raise but doesn't wait, only by being kind to the little sister, marrying a wife and having children, so that the bloodline can be passed on, can he truly make his soul complete.
At the moment, I couldn't help but comfort my little sister a few words, the brother and sister were talking, Yang Yingming arched his hand in the hall and said: "Shizi, Liu Changshi of the Qi Palace's Mansion came to worship, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi summoned him." β
"Okay, I know, I'll go right away."
Xu Zi ordered the little sister to stay at home, and he went to the Qi Palace, with Liu Changshi.
"Shizi Miaowen, I've heard about it too." Riding side by side with Xu Zixian, Liu Changshi laughed loudly: "This time, appease the envoy and set up the envoy, but some have a headache!" β
Xu Ziwen smiled slightly, disapproving.
Liu Changshi may have thought that King Qi summoned him because of the article, but Xu Zixian knew that King Qi was not so shallow.
At the same time, it is worth paying attention to the movements of King Zhao, Xu Ziwen is frustrated, and his reputation must be greatly damaged. You must know that Xu Ziwen has no martial arts, Xu Ziwei has no literary talent, Zhao Wangfu, the two princes of Wen and Wu, has always been known for the way of civil and martial arts, not only famous in Fujian Road, even if it is Guangnan East Road, Guangnan West Road, Yunnan Road, Guizhou Road, as well as Jiangnan East Road, West Road, Zhejiang East Road, West Road, Jiangling Mansion, Jinghu South Road, North Road, until Jingshi, as long as there are literati and newspapers, Xu Ziwei is not necessarily very famous, Xu Ziwen must be a famous person.
Amazingly talented, few and intelligent, long and able to write, the graceful son of the turbidity world, passed the examination under a pseudonym, and published in the newspaper from time to time wonderful articles and poems, in addition to Zhao Wangfu's elegant collection has always been hosted by Xu Ziwen, behind such literary talent, is Zhao Wangfu does not know how much money to smash out of the reputation.
And Xu Zixian, two articles successively, but Xu Ziwen was pressed obediently, one in and one in retreat, one eliminated the other, Xu Zixian became famous, and Xu Ziwen's brilliance must be eclipsed.
What's more, this time when it comes to military and political matters, Xu Zixian not only showed his attainments in articles and calligraphy, but also showed his sensitivity and decisiveness in military and political affairs.
An article can stir up the changes in Fujian Road and even the court, and the significance of this is too great.
For King Zhao, who has been trying to integrate the military and political affairs of Fujian Road and take charge of local power, everything Xu Zixian did was extremely hateful. If King Zhao has a trace of uncle-nephew friendship, the one who came to summon Xu Zi to meet first tonight should have a long history of King Zhao's mansion.
But until the moment when Liu Changshi appeared, no one from Zhao Wangfu came.
This can only show one point, King Zhao does not have the slightest friendship with Xu Zixian, but is angry that Xu Zixian has done something bad, and he will not see him tonight, and there is no need to meet in the future.
As for King Qi, everything Xu Zi did first was just icing on the cake, after all, stirring up the wind and clouds is still stirring, to put it mildly, it is just a-stirring stick, what good is it to stir it up again? If you don't see the real result, it's nothing more than making trouble.
Sure enough, when King Qi in the study saw Xu Zixian, his face was quite helpless, as if his uncle had seen a naughty junior.
Xu Zixian was warm in his heart, the concern shown by King Qi in his previous life was quite limited, and King Qi soon had an accident, and even Fuzhou Mansion had earth-shaking changes, at that time, everything made Xu Zixian dizzy, and he was an outsider at all, and he had no capital to enter the game at all.
Only now did he faintly feel that the King of Qi was an ordinary prince in Yuqi, rather than a traditional defender, and the King of Qi was most concerned about the steady operation of the military and political affairs of the Fujian Road, so as not to make the general situation chaotic, and not to make the overall situation fall into the hands of people who are incompetent in terms of talent and pattern.
This person, of course, is King Zhao.
King Zhao, a favored prince at a young age, did not show much talent after growing up, when he was young, he was named a prince by Xi because his eldest son was carried into the palace, arrogant and domineering, all kinds of rules and regulations in Fujian Road, with the talent and vision of King Qi, how could he let King Zhao destroy everything?
It's a pity that the king of Qi was not able to stop the king of Zhao, after the sudden death of the king of Qi, the military and political power of the Fujian road soon fell into the hands of the king of Zhao, and then the king of Zhao ordered the civil strife on the Fujian road, Xu Ziwei was ashamed, with 10,000 soldiers to block Donghu from entering Xianxia Pass, but the main force of Fujian Road was quickly defeated, the measures of the king of Zhao failed, and the soldiers and horses of all parties gathered surrendered or rebelled, and those pirates who belonged easily surrendered, but became the vanguard of the Donghu people.
Pu Shougao, who was Wang Zhao's confidant, raised troops to fight in Fuzhou City, and the Tianfang people led by the Pu family did not know how many civilians and civil and military officials were killed, including the clan, of course.
The Tianfang merchants, who had been raised by Dawei for a hundred years, neither stood with Dawei nor left on their own when the crisis came, but showed their fangs to Dawei, who had sheltered and raised them, and bit hard behind Dawei when Dawei was at his weakest.
This revenge, Xu Zixian gritted his teeth with hatred at that time, and swore that he would take revenge as long as he had the opportunity, but he didn't have any chance, and was soon taken to the Minjiang River to be executed.
And killing the sect as soon as possible and cutting off the hearts of the Great Wei people is, of course, also the idea of Pu Shou and other heavenly people.
For the people of the Great Wei Dynasty, although the burden of exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes at the end of the Great Wei Dynasty was extremely heavy, the Great Wei Dynasty had a good inheritance after all, and the royal family was tolerant of the civil and military officials, the scholars, and the people of the world, and there was a bottom line, and they supported each other for hundreds of yearsDuring the reign of Renzong, there was a plan to renovate and expand, and the people near the palace were reluctant to relocate, so Emperor Renzong sighed a few times and gave up the plan to expand the palace.
Emperor Wuzong liked to go out on patrol in micro-clothes, and once helped the people find lost children, which was changed to a drama commentary after it was spread.
The image of the emperor of this dynasty can be played on the stage, and the actor pretends to be the emperor of this dynasty, and no one comes to stop it.
And the Son of Heaven of Great Wei guarded foreign enemies in the north of Beijing, and the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and finally Emperor Chongde committed suicide tragically, and the crown prince died in the sea overseas in Guangzhou.
Such a royal family can be described as a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, even if there are more than 10,000 men in the Great Wei clan, they must be killed completely.
Under the advice and auspices of the Semu people, the Fuzhou clan was killed regardless of the old and young, and when they were tortured and killed, they were really full of resentment.
Xu Zixian has been reborn so far, and every step is to prevent the recurrence of future tragedies, and under this goal, how to choose has long been self-evident.
Don't say that King Zhao didn't come to him, even if King Zhao came over and put forward generous conditions, Xu Zixian would still only choose to refuse!
"I've seen Uncle Wang."
Seeing King Qi this time, Xu Zixian's attitude became a little more casual, but his attitude was obviously closer than before.
After all, even if King Qi intended to support him, if Xu Zixian did not show the strength he should have to gain the recognition and respect of King Qi, he would not be qualified to show a very close relationship with King Qi here.
This is not snobbery, but the consciousness that politicians must have.
King Qi showed a very relieved expression on his face, he nodded solemnly, and said: "Mingda, you have done a good job so far, I didn't expect the group practice donation, you made it, others gossip, I will take it for you." Even if the two governments pay attention, I can go back, you just have to let it go! β
Xu Zixian showed a look of emotion, he didn't speak, just thanked him deeply.
He was not pretending, but genuinely moved.
King Qi's support for his juniors, his concern and intentions for the local military and political affairs, are really speechless.
As long as it is beneficial to the military and political plans, even if he is said to be domineering and impeached by the imperial history, he will not hesitate to pay such a price.
Xu Zixian's group practice donation, how can it be really calm? Of course, it was King Qi who took action to help suppress it, at least, with King Qi here, King Zhao and Lin Douyao and others couldn't make a brazen move, otherwise, it doesn't matter if you disturb the place, appease the envoy and order you to stop collecting, can Xu Zi disobey first?
"Collecting donations, holding group exercises, and you have to get a workshop to increase your income, and you are tolerant of official households and hidden households, which are all good. Accepting homeless youths to be carefully trained, as a tooth general, and promoted as a military attachΓ©, this is also the right way. King Qi said slowly, the lights in the study were not too bright, under the shaking lights, Xu Zixian saw that King Qi's face was wrinkled, his temples were white, and he felt a little sad in his heart.
In the entire Fujian Road, of course, there are some outstanding officials and gentry, but among the clans and officials, they can see that the overall situation is worrying, and they need to make plans early and find a new way, instead of killing each other, intriguing, and fighting for power and profit, how many are there? Only the one in front of him, struggling to support!
"Please rest assured Uncle Wang......" Xu Zixian said solemnly: "My nephew will try his best to continue to do what he should do to keep the party safe." β
"The place you want to protect is not those towns, it is Fuzhou, Changle, Minjiang, Sanshan, Houguan, Jianzhou, Shao Wujun, Xinghua Army, Tingzhou, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou!" King Qi glanced at Xu Zixian deeply and said, "This is also where I am dissatisfied with you, don't just stare at the eyes!" I read the article you wrote, the tone is good, but it is not grandiose, what is there, what to say, why bother to ridicule in the end? Your article can show that you are a person, smart, wise, but you don't dare to challenge everything. You must know that the husband of a man, when he knows that he cannot do it, and where his morality lies, although he dies, I will not regret it. Mingda, your pattern is broader! β
Xu Zixian's heart was shocked, as if he had found a major flaw after his rebirth!
He has always been to put an end to the tragedy as the biggest goal of his efforts, and he also wants to do the things at hand step by step, but due to the limitations of his past and present lives, he has been working hard in small ways until now, and he doesn't seem to have a plan or specific approach to the overall situation.
Financial and material resources and connections can't support it, it's just a trivial matter, and a real heroic husband is to dare to challenge himself in an impossible situation.
If you succeed, you will open the road against the sky, and failure is nothing more than starting all over again!
Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, led dozens of people to subdue more than 10,000 bandits, and with his own image, scheming, skill, and strong persuasion ability, he collected more than 10,000 troops at once.
Then there was a foundation of self-reliance, and quickly went down the river, through quarrying, and under Jiqing, which is now Jiangling, and later Nanjing.
With Nanjing, there was a real foundation of the royal industry, gathering talents, training troops in Tuntian, slowly encroaching on Zhang Shicheng's forces, fighting a decisive battle with Chen Youliang, and finally achieving hegemony.
If according to the standards of the novel, Zhu Yuanzhang's road to hegemony is too mysterious, but those who want to achieve great things must find possibilities in the impossible, and finally achieve great things.
"You have to look at the world...... "King Qi pointed out: "I won't give you financial, material, and human resources, but you must have a vision of the whole world, so that your layout will be more correct, safe, and faster." My Dawei is already seriously ill and it is difficult to save. But the times are like this, how can I be indifferent after my generation is the ancestor? I'm dying of old age, and I can only put my hope in you. There are really big changes in the future, don't be swayed by your own ambitions, think more about the meaning of our clan's existence? Not to mention anything else, there are more than 10,000 displaced people in Zhangzhou, and the impact is not only on Zhangzhou and Fuzhou, but also on those towns. If you have the opportunity today, why don't you find a way to win the hearts of the homeless? In the future, if you have a bigger place to play, will they be your help, and the people they influence will not be your help? β
King Qi's words, like an initiation, made Xu Zixian wake up suddenly.
Yes, I seem to be generous, and I recruit one or two hundred more homeless people to resettle and use, in fact, I want to use their labor, and I still mainly use these homeless people.
Small favors and small favors are praised by others, but how useful can such a level of popular support be?
"You have to do your best in everything, and if you can't do it, you will be just as popular......" King Qi was finally a little tired, he pinched his eyebrows, and said to Xu Zixian: "At the bottom, you have to do two things, one is to prepare for entering Beijing next year to attack the lord, there may be some trouble, you have to deal with it carefully." The political dispute between the DPRK and China is already in deep trouble, and even I have not been able to maintain a sense of proportion, so I can only say that it is extremely dangerous, and you may be involved in it if you are not careful. If you can't get involved, don't get involved, you can't avoid it, you must choose the right one, I think in the next two years, you may be able to divide the winner again, but what if you win? The decline of the Great Wei is inevitable! Second, that is, you want to really build the Houfu Courtyard into a solid foundation, what is a stable foundation? Officials, garrisons, and officials, but the most important thing is to win the hearts and minds of the people......"
"My nephew knows." Xu Zi stabilized his mind first and felt the change in his realm, but he also had his own persistence. King Qi has been in a high position for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will overestimate himself when he sees the problem, in fact, some people are good at soaring into the sky, and some people are good at slowly accumulating strength. Xu Zi thinks about himself first, and he may still be good at moving forward steadily, but he just has to keep moving forward and broaden his horizons......

The big chapter is 6,000 words, and the tone is continuous.
