Jinling Wei State Mansion, inner study.

Xu Hongji and his son Xu Wenjue sat opposite each other, their eyes were full of anger, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Xu family had never suffered such a bullying.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, Tong Kui has never been gone since he entered Ye Xun's military camp, and even none of his guards have come out, if you want to say that it's okay, who will believe it?

How can it be said that the Xu family still has energy in Jiangnan, even if Ye Xun is so tightly blocked, the Xu family still inquires about the truth of the matter through various means, and after knowing what happened, the father and son of the Xu family can be said to be angry and afraid.

This dead eunuch is too bold, right? Unexpectedly, he took down all the thirteen generals above the general army in Nanjing at one time, except for the Hongwu Emperor back then, it seems that no one in the dynasty has ever made such a big deal, what does he want to do?

The Xu family also has countless fertile fields in the south of the Yangtze River, and the nobles who live in Jinling are also the most places besides the capital.

When it comes to the actual interests of one's own family, resistance is certain, but if there is no support from the army, what is the difference between it and a toothless tiger.

The Xu family has guarded Jinling for generations, and the relationship between the armies in the south of the Yangtze River is also intertwined, and it is not necessary to have Tong Kui.

But according to the ancestral system, the Xu family can only directly intervene in the army when there is a war, and if they dare to mobilize the army in peacetime, it will be easy to be labeled as a rebel, so Xu Hongji does not dare to act rashly.

"Father, you attract him here, your son went to Beijing to find Your Majesty, the Xu family has been loyal and good for generations, I don't believe that Your Majesty will let the Xu family be bullied by a thief"

Xu Wenjue's words did not move Xu Hongji, people are old and fine, this is not said in vain.

Shaking his head slightly, he said: "There is news in Beijing for a long time, Your Majesty is sick and will obey this eunuch, even if you enter Beijing, I am afraid that you will not be able to see Your Majesty, and Zhang Weixian, that old bastard, is also extremely protective of this eunuch, if it is not bad as expected by my father, I am afraid they have reached some secret agreement"

"The current situation, it's better to be still than to move, if something happens in Fengyang, someone in the DPRK will definitely impeach him, we might as well wait and see, and when he arrives, you will personally send an invitation to talk to him for your father."

Xu Wenjue nodded, smiled suddenly, and said: "When I came back from outside just now, I heard someone mention that the eunuch likes little girls, father, you said that if someone lined up to send a girl to him, what would others think of him?" ”

"Nonsense! How can the dignified prince of Wei participate in such a thing? ”

Although he was scolding his son in his mouth, he couldn't help but smile in his eyes.

Qian Qianyi's gang of bullshit celebrities don't know what to think, as a Jiangnan native, they actually help outsiders wave their flags and shout, wait for the eunuchs to leave, and see how your country's father-in-law entertains you...

The father and son of the Xu family didn't know that as Ye Xun's team got closer and closer to Jinling, an explosive news also spread throughout Jiangnan.

"The imperial court plans to abolish the military household system, and the soldiers are mainly recruited into the army, which used to be the guard post of the military household, and they can go to the first battalion of the Jinling New Army under the leadership of the general of the guard house, or they can go on their own, and there are military households that go by themselves, and the officers of the guard office shall not be hindered, and those who can join the new army after examination will be immediately issued a settlement of silver taels, and the military salary will be only lower than that of the border army..."

This is indeed news, because it has not yet been written, but it is enough, and after hearing the news, many military households in the guard station sent representatives and quietly rushed to Jinling.

After the civil uprising in the Huai'an area subsided, the follow-up work was naturally done by the local government, and Lu Chun only needed to leave a small number of troops to help maintain order, so Ye Xun went to Jinling on the front foot, and he led the men and horses to follow on the back foot.

Lu Chun knew very well that although Ye Xun appointed him as the commander of the first battalion of the new army, there were many generals with higher levels and stronger connections than him in Jiangnan, and if he didn't often perform in front of Ye Xun, maybe his position would be replaced by others that day.

In this way, with Lu Chun's men and horses, Ye Xun has six or seven thousand available soldiers around him, although it is far from being comparable to the number of garrisons near Jinling, but it is not so that there are no available soldiers around Ye Xun.

Early in the morning, Yao Yizhi led the civil and military officials of Jinling to wait at the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city, because Ye Xun did not take a boat, but came by land.

Among the officials, Wang Yiming stood behind Yao Yizhi with a calm expression, and naturally there was no need to say anything more at this time.

In fact, Wang Yiming didn't know how Xu Hongru was going to deal with Ye Xun, Xu Hongru just told him that everything had been planned, and he just had to wait for the situation to develop.

did not make the officials of Jinling wait for a long time, and a black team soon appeared at the end of the official road.

Behind the dragon flag of the Xuanhuang regiment is the Yezi banner representing Ye Xun's identity, and under the honor guard of various flags, there are swords and guns like a forest, and the guards covered with red cloaks are clustered around a wide carriage, no need to ask, the person sitting in the carriage must be Ye Dagong.

Ye Xun's guard of honor is different from other officials, no matter where he goes, he is quiet, never ringing the gong to open the way, nor is there any drumming in unison, it seems to be very low-key, but the invisible coercion can still make people breathless.

When they were more than 100 steps away, the Qincha team stopped, and then Ye Xun, who was in a python robe and jade belt, walked out of the carriage.

Seeing this, Yao Yizhi and the others hurriedly stepped forward and bowed far away.

"Xiaguan and others, see Father-in-law of Qincha Ye..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor's order is here, during this time in Jinling, please cooperate with your lords, my lord is here to thank you"

Ye Xun didn't put on a show, and said with his fists to the officials.

Yao Yizhi, on behalf of the Jinling officials, didn't even dare to say it, and then said: "My father-in-law has worked hard all the way, and the lower officials have ordered someone to set up a banquet, and I also invite my father-in-law to appreciate it."

Although Ye Xun doesn't like this kind of thing on the scene, he follows the local customs, and he still has to go through the motions.

Nodding his head, he said, "Is the Jinling garrison available?" ”

After listening to Ye Xun's question, a burly general flashed behind Yao Yizhi.

"The last general!"

"General Laojin took his father's men and horses to rest"

The guard surnamed Jin was slightly stunned, and said in his heart that I hadn't reported my name yet, why did he recognize me?

Doubts are doubts, but he hurriedly agreed, and when he looked up, he saw Ye Xun turning his gaze to his side again.

"This must be the political envoy Wang?"

Including Yao Yizhi, no one thought that Ye Xun knew everyone, and a thought flashed in everyone's hearts, could it be that Father-in-law Ye had come to Jinling?

Hearing Ye Xun directly call out his name, Wang Yiming's heart couldn't help jumping, and before he could think about it, he hurriedly drove forward, bowed down and said, "The lower official sees Gonggong Ye!" ”

"Huh! There is no need to be polite, when I was in the capital, I heard that Lord Wang was very respectful of the new land policy of the imperial court, and His Majesty also specially ordered the Duke to reward the Lord Wang, and the Duke would like to pay tribute to the Lord Wang for a few more glasses of wine, haha..."

Hearing Ye Xun say this, Wang Yiming was even more shocked in his heart, he knew best what he thought, not to mention supporting the new policy of the imperial court, and even resisting it all the time, but he didn't know why Ye Xun said that? ...
