In the Ming Dynasty, when a person's achievements were great, he would habitually add the name of his hometown after his surname, such as Zhang You, some people have begun to call him Zhang Pinggu, and then Zhang Juzheng, known as Zhang Jiangling. Fastest updates

Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture is very famous in today's era, which all depends on one person, he is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty who endured humiliation for many years, and finally overthrew (boiled) a generation of power and rape Yan Song, or the master of Zhang Jiangling, who has been called Mr. Zhang Jiangling for many years, yes, he is Xu Jie.

Xu Jie, the word Zisheng, No. Shaohu, No. 1 Cunzhai. Han nationality, a native of Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, Ming Dynasty. The famous cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, the first assistant of the cabinet from the late Jiajing Dynasty to the early years of the Longqing Dynasty. In the second year of Jiajing, he was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing.

His exploits are too numerous to mention, if they come together, there is always a suspicion of irrigation, but although the people of the time evaluate it as a bright appearance, but since he returned to his hometown, the wind evaluation is actually not particularly good.

This is mainly because of one thing.

After Xu Jie retired and returned home, his children ran rampant in the township, buying a large number of fields, covering an area of as much as 240,000 mu.

Ying Tianxun Hai Rui and Bing Xian Cai Guoxi handled the case impartially and punished his family. Xu Jie bribed Dai Fengxiang with 30,000 taels of gold, and through Zhang Juzheng's order, Chen Sanmo dismissed Hai Rui and Cai Guoxi. Therefore, people at that time called him: "The prime minister of the family can chase the constitution of the court", and some people called him "power traitor".

However, this incident also proves his ability, even if he is in the field, he still has the ability to influence the situation, so it is not surprising that Jiangnan officialdom and other families are looking forward to it.

The Xu Mansion is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and no less than 500 dead soldiers are secretly protecting the safety of the Xu family.

"Third Young Master!"

"I've seen the Third Young Master!"

With the respectful greetings of the people he met along the way, Xu Zhen hurriedly entered the Hanging Flower Gate.

He is not Xu Jie's son, but Xu Jie's nephew, the third in the ranks, and he is Xu Jie's most important junior.

Pavilions and pavilions, winding paths and secluded paths, all the way unimpeded, he came directly to the Cunzhai Pavilion where Xu Jie, named after Xu Jie, located on the small island in the artificial lake in the back garden of Xu Mansion, surrounded by water, green bamboo, birds singing, it is really a blessed land of self-cultivation.

Xu Jie's age is eighty, and he has no other needs for a long time, so apart from him, there is only one dumb servant to serve here, and there are no superfluous people.

The autumn is high and cool, the blue sky is like washing, Xu Jie's half leaning on the rattan chair, with a fishing rod at his feet, and a thread-bound book in his hand to read with relish.

The dumb servant stood quietly behind him, looking at the sparkling lake, and holding his hands behind his back, although he was not tall, he gave people a feeling of being in the depths.

Xu Zhen slowed down, and before he could get closer, the dumb servant had already turned his head and smiled at him. He wasn't surprised that the other party could hear his footsteps so far away, and if you had ever seen them struck them down one by one under the siege of the dead.

Approaching, Xu Zhen smiled at the dumb servant first, and then coughed lightly and said, "What book does uncle read?" So obsessed? ”

"Tao Te Ching," Xu Jie heard the movement, said casually, put the book on the stool next to him, and looked at Xu Zhen with a light smile: "Didn't you go to Jinling?" When did you come back? ”

"One of the Tao said, ethereal, hasn't my uncle always been disdainful, how do you look at the Tao Te Ching?" Xu Zhen didn't answer the rhetorical question, picked up the book on the stool casually, and sat down.

This action is actually a bit frivolous, but Xu Jie didn't care at all, and said with a slight smile: "In the past, I wrote green words for the master of the world, and I didn't have much contact with these things, what kind of Tao Te Ching Nanhua Sutra, I look at it with a big head, I can't wait to stop contaminating it for the rest of my life, I can't imagine that I am getting older now, but I feel better......"

"Oh?" Xu Zhen was a little strange: "Uncle won't also start worshipping Dao and serving immortals, right?" Don't you often say that if we lose the Ming Dynasty, we will be defeated by the Sect Master? ”

"That was before, and now that time is running out, I suddenly feel that in fact, Grandmaster Shi may not be unhappy...... You don't understand this, let's get down to business, you kid has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, you won't come to talk to me on purpose, right? ”

Xu Zhen straightened up and said: "It's really a bit of a thing, Zhang Jiangling wrote me a letter, and there was a letter in it, which was specially specified to be written to you, uncle." ”

"It's a bit too much to burn down the shipyard, don't blame Taiyue for being angry...... What about faith? ”

"Here we are!" As he spoke, Xu Zhen took out the letter from her bosom and handed it to Xu Jie, and her mouth kept talking: "I don't know what he wrote to you, anyway, it's very polite to me, what if Zhang Yunxiu has three longs and two shorts, he will not ......give up."

said and sneered: "He still thought he was the first assistant of the court, not to mention Zhang Yunxiu, dare to fight our idea, even if that dead cripple is in person, I will let him have no return." ”

Xu Jie had already finished reading the letter, crumpled it into a ball and threw it in the water, and said: "You still have to pay attention, after all, I have a fight with Taiyue's master and apprentice, and the trouble is too big, and it doesn't make people laugh...... How is Zhang Yunxiu? Zhang You didn't come, did he? ”

"Zhang You didn't come, he sent a hairy boy surnamed Zheng, listening to Liu Suifeng said, the medical skills have been passed on to the lame man, and the art of acupuncture and moxibustion is amazing, although Zhang Yunxiu was not cured on the spot, but it was a matter of time before he thought about it."

"It's good to be able to cure Zhang Yunxiu, when I was in Beijing, I teased that little guy a lot, it's a cute child."

"Gentleman, I have never been in Nanjing, the girl on the bank of the Qinhuai River is about to be slept by that kid, relying on Xing Shangzhi's old eunuch as a backer, he is very arrogant and domineering, many people look at him unpleasantly, he is really cured, and the sisters of Qinhuai River are happy."

Xu Zhen said disdainfully, he didn't ask about the content of the letter, and he was able to get Xu Jie's appreciation, which he still understood.

"I've heard about this matter, and I heard that he and Wang Xian are fighting for the top card in a shallow way, and they can't be beaten......"

"It can be said, I think Yang Minggong is such a hero, but the descendants are not as good as the generation, Wang Chengxun will also have a little ability, these sons will not become, just like their mothers, the eyes of the wine bags and rice bags, sooner or later the Wang family will lose on the heads of their mothers."

Xu Zhen commented viciously, and then returned to the topic: "Don't mention those few bad things, it doesn't matter if Zhang Yun repairs it or not, uncle, do you think the dead cripple will come over in person?" ”

Xu Jie didn't answer immediately, because the fish drift that had not moved trembled a few times, and suddenly sank, he picked up the fishing rod and caught a carp weighing two catties, and then smiled happily: "Who knows if he will come or not, Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish to take the bait will see how much he attaches importance to the overseas trade!" ”

"I know," Xu Zhen sneered: "Anyway, I have laid a net of heaven and earth, if he dares to come, he will be guaranteed to let him die without a place to be buried!" ”
