In fact, it is not that Zhu Changluo looks down on him and the Dingguo Mansion, but the status of the Dingguo Mansion in the imperial court is really embarrassing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the highest level of lord of the Ming Dynasty, the only remaining prince of the capital city, the Dingguo Mansion is extremely low-key, almost no news appears, the contemporary Dingguo Duke Xu Wenbi is almost a clay carving wood sculpture in the court, rarely open his mouth to participate in political affairs, when he is forced to do so, he also follows the flow to say a few words.

It should be said that the biggest role of the Dingguo Mansion is the mascot of the imperial court!

Yes, it's the mascot!

Xu Wenbi's biggest role was to attend various sacrificial activities on behalf of the emperor, including important canonization ceremonies and so on.

Especially in these years, the emperor has shrunk in the deep palace and is reluctant to go out, and the position of the prince is undecided, so all kinds of birthdays and sacrifices of the first emperor are performed by the prince of Dingguo.

In addition, even the army, which is the self-reserved land of the honorable relatives, Xu Wenbi does not often interfere, otherwise, it would not be Fei Jiajin's turn to take charge of the military governor's mansion.

What's more, Jingshi is different from Nanjing, and it is not unreasonable to say that Nanjing City is the last position of the Xunqi group.

Nanzhili is a place where Xunqi gathers, and those who remain are old Xunqi, and the main force of Wenchen is not here, so in Nanzhili, Xunqi Group and Wenchen Group can still be on an equal footing, but in the capital, it is the territory of the Wenguan Group that can be completely completed.

Think about Fei Jiajin's dignified governor of the Chinese military and the governor of the palace, and the powerful Zhengyipin, who is one grade higher than the six Shangshu in terms of grade, but he has to run around for the military salary of several guards, you can know what kind of life the Xun Qi lived in the capital.

For these reasons, Zhu Changluo directly asked the Wei State Mansion which officials were good friends in the court, but did not ask which relatives he had good friends with......

But listening to Chen Liangbi's meaning, in his heart, Zhu Changluo wants to investigate and deal with the Wei State Mansion, and the pressure on this honorable relative can be greater than that of civil officials?

"Your Royal Highness, although this Dingguo Mansion has been low-key over the years, it does not mean that the Dingguo Mansion is weak, and the status of the Dingguo Mansion among the relatives of the capital is even higher than that of the Wei Mansion among the Nanjing nobles!"

Chen Liangbi also saw Zhu Changluo's doubts and explained.

It's not that the Dingguo Mansion is much stronger than the Wei Mansion, theoretically speaking, although the Dingguo Mansion and the Wei Mansion are divided into two mansions, they are in the same vein, and more importantly, the Wei Mansion is inherited from the descendants of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and the Dingguo Mansion is inherited from Xu Da's youngest son Xu Zengshou, so no matter how many generations have passed, the roots of the Dingguo Mansion are in the Wei Mansion.

In addition, the capital is the base camp of civil officials, so the power and reputation of the Dingguo Mansion have always been inferior to the Wei Mansion, but now it is different.

This generation of Wei Duke Xu Hongji has just inherited Wei Guogong, and he is even just two ten, but Xu Wenbi, the Duke of Dingguo, is Xu Hongji's elder, and he has inherited the position of Duke Dingguo for many years, and his prestige and means are naturally much more powerful than Xu Hongji.

Of course, this is not the reason why Chen Liangbi carefully selected the Dingguo Mansion, the real reason is the influence of the Dingguo Mansion among the relatives in the capital.

After a pause, Chen Liangbi continued to speak.

"This involves a secret story a few years ago, when the Governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion Zuo Du, and was still the Duke of Dingguo Xu Wenbi Xu, the Duke of Dingguo is also the core of the Emperor of Beijing, but then something happened, a marquis in Beijing was found to have embezzled money, which was a normal case, but some people took the opportunity to impeach the Governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion for mistreating the sergeants and hiding filth, please allow Your Majesty to appoint the Governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion with Wenchen......"

In fact, the struggle between Wenchen and Xunqi has never stopped, and most of the time, it is Wenchen who wins, squeezing the living space of Xunqi little by little.

And that time, it was not long after the emperor was in power, and he urgently needed to unite the forces of Wenchen, and at the same time, the death of the first assistant Zhang Juzheng also made a cadre of Wenchen lose their backbone, and they urgently needed to do something to stabilize their position.

As soon as the two parties hit it off, they began to use knives against Xun Qi.

This matter, although Chen Liangbi was not in the capital, was almost affected.

"The impeachment of the courtiers became more and more violent, from a small corruption case, gradually became a problem for the entire Xun family, and at this time, there were ministers in the court, saying that the honorable Qi was wanton, and the three battalions of soldiers were transferred for their own use, which caused the large battalion of soldiers to be miserable, and under the turbulent court discussion, it was Grandpa Xu who made a decision immediately, and wrote to ask His Majesty to send reliable ministers to supervise the three major battalions, and resigned from the post of the governor of the Chinese army, so that the court was calmed down!"

It should be said that this is not a way to do it, it is much better to let the three battalions out than to let the Chinese military governor's mansion out, the three battalions are the emperor's direct pro-army, and the emperor sends his cronies to supervise the ministers, which is also reasonable, but the five military governor's mansions are the territory of the entire Xunqi, once infiltrated by the power of the civil ministers, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the entire Xunqi group to get it back!

"After retiring this time, Grandpa Xu only hung up a title in the Houjun Governor's Mansion, and he no longer cared about political affairs, and the Zhongjun Governor's Mansion was taken over by Chongxinbo!"

After hearing the reason for the incident, Zhu Changluo was also slightly silent.

No wonder when the winter solstice was celebrated, Xu Wenbi was able to bring so many nobles to the collective silence, it turned out that the roots were here, not to mention that the Dingguo Mansion was the core of the capital's lords, Hu Laowei was still there, this is this matter, the Dingguo Mansion is equivalent to giving grace to the entire capital's lords, and exchanging the interests of the entire honorable relatives with his own family's withdrawal from the official career!

With this level of relationship, I am afraid that the influence of the Dingguo Mansion on the Xunqi Group will have to be reassessed.

"This palace knows, thank you Chen Shoubei for reminding me!"

Nodding slightly, Zhu Changluo said.

The Duke of Wei and the Duke of Dingguo are in the same breath, Xu Wenbi will definitely not sit idly by and watch something happen to the Duke of Wei, you know, although the two mansions are separated, but the clan concept in this era is deep-rooted, the Duke of Wei is the Xu family's own family, and Xu Hongji is the head of the Xu family, this will not change because Xu Wenbi is higher than Xu Hongji's prestige.

And with the influence of the Dingguo Mansion, if Xu Wenbi really wants to intervene in this case, I am afraid that the pressure on Zhu Changluo is really much stronger.

What's more, if what Chen Liangbi said is true, in this matter, it was his emperor father who was sorry for Xu Wenbi and exchanged his retirement for the stability of the court.

Although the favor is not valuable in the royal family, but the favor is the favor, if Xu Wenbi personally enters the palace to request, who knows whose side the emperor's father will stand on!

Chen Liangbi paused slightly, knowing that Zhu Changluo understood the seriousness of the matter, and continued.

"On the side of Xun Qi, presumably the ministers don't need to say much, and His Royal Highness can also understand that as for the courtiers, there are two ministers who have a close relationship with the Xu family, and there are two ......."

"Oh? Which two? ”

Zhu Changluo temporarily put aside the matter of Dingguo Gong and asked.

"Lord Yang Junmin, Master Yang, Master Zhu Geng, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Lord Zhu!"
