After being impeached by Qi Kang and others, Xu Ge Lao also defended himself as usual, and waited for punishment at home. Of course, there is nothing to make a fuss about, because this is the practice of the minister after being sensitive, or two days, the emperor will issue an order to stay, and then repeatedly shirk it a few times, about enough hypocrisy, and then he can come back to see things in good spirits, which is simply to take the opportunity to steal a few days of leisure, and relieve his tired body and mind.

This is the third day that Xu Jie's family is closed, saying that he is a thank you, he just rejects the people he doesn't want to see, if a confidant official comes to report the situation, he still makes an appointment as usual, but compared to the busyness in the cabinet, it is much more leisurely after all.

In the first two days, he enjoyed this leisurely feeling very much, and at the end of February, in Beijing, there was already a warm feeling during the day, he either took a spare book to read, or picked up a pen to write two words, or walked to the small courtyard to see the fresh and pleasant green, and his body and mind were very comfortable.

However, from the third day, when he woke up in the morning, Xu Ge Lao felt a little empty, he had become accustomed to the sense of being a pivotal person when he went out and hugged him when he went out, and he upheld the national politics when he entered...... Even though I know it's only temporary, the feeling is uncomfortable.

Once you are infected by this emotion, you can't do anything, you can't read books, you can't write, and you don't feel interesting to walk around the yard. I had to go back to the study and ask the scholar to invite Mr. Xixi Li from the house, ready to talk with him and kill time in black and white.

He was sitting on a wicker chair waiting for Mr. Li to come, when he suddenly heard a commotion from the living room in front of him.

"Who's coming?" Xu Jie frowned and asked the old housekeeper.

The old butler was also at a loss, so he had to straighten his neck and look ahead.

I saw Xu Fan running in from the outside quickly, and before he entered the house, he shouted angrily: "Father, the second uncle is crazy!" ”

"Panic what!" Xu Jie reprimanded: "I'm a grandfather, why are you still so breathless?!" ”

"............" Xu Fan swallowed and foamed, and said in his heart that you can calm down later, "so he stood still" took out a piece of music from his sleeve and said: "This is transferred by the General Administration!" ”

Xu Jie took it and took a look, and his pupils shrank when he boarded, only to see that the cover was impressively written, "Xu Zhi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, impeached the scholar Xu Jie's lawlessness,!" Just after reading the title, Lord Shousuke, who still felt hot, now feels like falling into an ice cave. It is the younger brother of Xu Ge Lao, a dear relative connected by blood! It is said that fighting tiger brothers, going into battle father and son soldiers, the elder Xu Ge is being impeached by the official, he should go to the book to defend his brother, why did he turn against each other, "Impeachment Xu Ge is coming?"

Taking a deep breath and calming down, Xu Jie opened the song, and saw his younger brother Xu Zhi, in a tone of righteousness and annihilation, exposing some of his ** that is not known to outsiders............ He said that Xu Jie had sex with his wife during Ding's father's worries in the early years of Jiajing, and his eldest son Xu Fan was born at that time; and privately accepted two concubines" and wanted to forcibly accept his sister as a concubine, forcing him to escape into the empty door; It is also said that the Xu family put the money in the Susong area, and every year they have to force many families to die, and some small people sue the government, but the parents are only the head of the Xu family, not only do they avenge the people, but also help the people to abuse" In the name of falsely accusing the elders, the plaintiff was put in prison, often tortured to death, and few of them could see the light of day: and said that the Xu family greedily accepted the land offering, knowing that many ruffians "risked the investment of other people's land, but still gladly accepted it, and accepted it as a family, and the original presided over the title deed to defend it, and the Xu family forcibly bought it at a very low priceOnce the other party does not obey, "his family will be kidnapped and beaten until he submits, and the government will turn a blind eye." If anyone sues the government", see Article 2.

There are more than 10 accusations like these, all of which are unsightly, "more comprehensive and in-depth than Qi Kang's impeachment, and the description is extremely specific and detailed, as if ...... witnessed with one's own eyes, and more importantly, the person who spoke, but the defendant's own brother, is extremely convincing!"

Halfway through it, Xu Jie felt a chill in his hands and feet, his eyes darkened, and he fainted............

When Xu Jieyou woke up, she saw herself lying on the bed in the bedroom, Mrs. Gu was worried by the bed, and at the round table behind her, sat Xu Dian and Mr. Li and Mr. Lu, the three of them were whispering something, although it was not true, but it was faintly enough to hear, they were talking about why the second master, who was in the same breath, would catch his brother at this juncture? And what will be the impact of this......

Returning to reality from a trance, Xu Jie's heart was shrouded in shame again, and everyone in the world was "kissing and hiding, not exaggerating" himself, the first assistant, was impeached by his own brother, and he also took out the private affairs of the family in the broad daylight, what kind of face does this make him have, and then put up a shelf of a hundred officials?

, It's better to die ............, this is Xu Jie's thought for a moment, of course, it is only for a moment, and the next moment his thoughts will return to how to deal with the crisis in front of him.

coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the people in the house, Gu Shi said excitedly: "Master, you are awake, scared to death......"

Xu Jie nodded, signaling that he was fine, and let the Gu family go out first, leaving only Erban and the two strategists on the side.

Seeing that he was about to struggle to sit up, Xu Fan and Lu De stepped forward together with Mr. Lu, one helped Nai's father up, and the other took a pillow to cushion Xu Jie's back so that he could sit on the bed.

"You guys also sit down...... Xu Jie's expression was reluctant, "Come closer." ”

The three of them came over with a round stool and sat down on the edge of the bed, the light in the bedroom was dim, and they didn't feel anything when they were far away, but now when they got closer, they found that it was just a kung fu for an hour, and Xu Jie seemed to be several years older.

"Things haven't been figured out yet............ Mr. Li Xiang said, "Don't take Yuan Weng to heart."

"That's right, maybe someone is taking the name of the second master" Lu Degan laughed and said, "After all, the second master is far away in Nanjing, and no one knows what is going on there." ”

"Don't comfort the old man......" Xu Jieran smiled and said: "This matter can't be faked." "He knows his own family affairs, and his younger brother has some knowledge, but he has been spoiled by his mother since he was a child, and his temperament is very narrow-minded, especially if he can't suffer. In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, "Xu Zhi participated in the examination" coincided with Xu Jie's accusation that he was the main exam, and in order to avoid suspicion, Xu Jie hoped that his younger brother could take the exam three years later.

It is said that this kind of elder brother takes the main exam, and the younger brother avoids it, which is also the meaning of the question, but Xu Zhi feels that his talent has learned, and he said that he has achieved a good ranking, and he resolutely does not want to suffer from the three years of hard study, so the brothers quarreled at that time. One said that you insisted on taking the test, "I can only be ruthless to you, and the other is full of indifference and says: I can pass the test without your help"

As a result, Xu Zhi really didn't say much, and after the reading was over and the rankings were ranked, Xu Jie suddenly found that his younger brother was among the top ten. The examiners came up to congratulate him, but Xu Jie fell into an ideological struggle...... The dragon brother and the tiger brother are good things, but the younger brother is too late. At that time, Xu Jie, under Xia Yan's arrangement, replaced Yan Song's henchmen, "became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and immediately became a thorn in the side of Yan Dang." At that time, Yan Shifan, who was strong-blooded, clamored all day long to drive him out of Beijing.

At that juncture, Xu Jie knew that he couldn't leave any chance for the other party, otherwise he would inevitably get into trouble and even connect Xu to his teacher.

"He decided that he couldn't let Xu Zhi be so conspicuous, so he waved his pen and knocked him down from fifth to fifty. Xu R will of course provoke criticism for a candidate who has nothing to do with him, "But that person is his younger brother, it will only be praised."

Sure enough, even Yan Shifan said that Xu Jie could treat his younger brother like this, how could he show favoritism for others? So Xu Jie said that he had passed a test and won a reputation for impartiality.

Xu Jie thought it through, "But I didn't take it into account, how unfair this is to my younger brother!" Xu Zhi finally fell into the Shu Jishi and missed the road of Qinggui...... When he heard and knew the truth, "Jinshi Jidi's joy turned into hatred, and he found Xu Jie and asked him why he harmed himself!"

Xu Jie was speechless, "If it weren't for the subordinate pulling away, he would have almost been beaten by him." Later, Xu Zhi was full of unwillingness, and he wrote materials and delivered them everywhere, and went to the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to ask for help, but he didn't make any splashes. Since then, the brothers have produced an indissolvable slug...... But Xu Jie was always ashamed in his heart, so he thought that when he was assigned, he would arrange a good position for him and compensate for it. However, man is not as good as heaven. In the second year, there was another "complex incident" that shocked China and foreign countries, Xia Guixi was unremarkable, the trees fell and scattered, and everyone under his door was silent. Xu Jie, as Xia Yan's favorite general, naturally bore the brunt of the attack and became the number one target that the Yan Party wanted to deal with quickly.

When the officials were assigned, Xu Jie's self-care was still too timeless, how could he take care of his younger brother. Xu Zhi was also more or less implicated by him, and as a result, he was assigned to the Nanjing Pedestrian Division of the Cold Yamen in the Cold Yamen. Xu Zhi completely collapsed, and when he met people in Nanjing, he accused his brother of his "evil deeds", which made everyone avoid him, and he also wrote a letter to his mother at home to cry. made Mrs. Tai seriously ill, and scolded Xu Jie's beasts for not being as good as ......

This is all an old case, in recent years, Xu Jie has taken power, in order to compensate for all the years, began to deliberately promote Xu Zhi, from the fifth grade to the third grade, just afraid of being too conspicuous, so he has been pressing it in Nanjing, who knows that this evil animal is not considerate of hard work, but because of old grudges, stabbing himself with others!

After listening to Xu Jie's simple narration, the three of them sighed, and no longer doubted the authenticity of the chapter.

"Buckle this book!" Xu Fanyi gritted his teeth and said, "God doesn't know the ghost!" ”

"No." Mr. Li shook his head and said: "The second master is far away in Nanjing, but the time is so accurate, the book happened to arrive in Beijing after Qi Kang, there must be human factors in it, I read that the second master is on the book, eighty percent of it is instigated behind the scenes." ”

"I feel the same way," Mr. Lu said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, this letter cannot be concealed, and it must be presented to the emperor." ”

Xu Fan said anxiously: "Then our situation will be dangerous all of a sudden......"

"Don't panic......" Xu Jie couldn't see his son's sinister appearance, and frowned: "Being a father is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not so easy to finish." ”

"Don't worry, eldest prince." Mr. Li hurriedly said: "What Yuan Weng said is extreme, although we are now restricted by one move, we still have the advantage, and the water is to cover it." ”

"What's the cover-up?" Xu Fan asked.

"Yuan Weng first put on a resignation note, and his words must be bleak, giving people a feeling of sadness and heartbreak." Li Xiang said: "The eldest prince was also injured at the same time, and the grievances between Yuan Weng and the second master were simply plain depicted, of course, don't say that Yuan Weng deliberately suppressed the second master back then, only that the eldest prince was selfless." There is no empirical evidence in the horizontal and vertical investigations, it all depends on what is said. ”

"And then let those officials" Lu De continued: "Involve this matter with Gao Gong, saying that he used the second master's resentment towards Yuan Weng to incite the second master to write a book" The more insidious Gao Gong is said, the more confused the second master is, the less pressure Yuan Weng will have. ”

"That's right," Xu Fan clapped his hands and said, "I still have to burn the fire back to Gao Gong!" This is called "Misfortune Leads to the East,...... Right? ”

The two nodded with a smile.

After listening to their discussion, Xu Jie wanted to say a few words, but he really couldn't lift his spirits, so he had to nod and said, "That's it, the two gentlemen of Quanlao......" Seeing that Yuan Weng's spirit went down again, the three of them served him to lie down" and tiptoed back.

Xu Jie's backyard caught fire, his family was ugly, and he was very embarrassed, so he could only go to the book on the same day to beg for bones, and his frustration and laziness were overflowing, and he looked really sad.

Seeing that Xu Jie also completely picked up, Emperor Longqing completely collapsed...... Since the officials of Xu Gao's two factions began to pinch each other, because the matter involved the first and second assistants, the cabinet did not dare to be self-explanatory, "all of them were transferred to the Qianqing Palace, and the posts of scolding were piled up like a hill in front of him." Long Qing knew that it was a matter of national health, and he couldn't ignore it, so he had no choice but to endure vomiting, read them one by one, and then replied one by one, "All day long, all day long, I can't have fun with my beautiful concubines, it's all wasted on this."

If it has some results, it will be fine, but none of these officials listen to the emperor, and they say all their good things, they still go their own way, and they are foaming at the mouth.

In the end, Master Gao, who he trusted the most, and Xu Ge, who he respected the most, both wrote to resign, and no matter how much he persuaded him, he refused to go to work in the cabinet...... Long Qing's heart couldn't help but be full of frustration and depressed.

He finally understood why his father, the emperor, liked the court staff so much back then! It's not sadism, "it's really a last resort!" And only the rod! Cane! Cane! can deter those beast-like officials, but he doesn't have his father's cold and hard decisiveness" After half a year of ascending to the pole, the emperor let the ministers be completely impeached and afraid, and the feeling of being scolded by someone was too bad, and it would even make people discouraged, so he really didn't want to involve himself because of the affairs between the ministers......

Finally, after being completely unbearable, he brought Shen Mo and Zhang Juzheng here, and asked them to persuade the two elders to come back no matter what, mediate their contradictions, and let them focus on state affairs......

Emperor Yan's almost pleading tone made Shen Mo and Zhang Juzheng feel very uncomfortable, so they could only take this hot potato. Looking at Long Qing's relieved appearance, the two could only smile bitterly............ Now the two elders have torn their faces and broken faces, and they can't stop dying, and they can't persuade the lotus flower.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, the two of them still had to act according to orders, so they went to Xu Jie's mansion together, and saw Xu Ge Lao, who was recuperating, soft grinding and hard bubbles, saying all the good things, and moving the emperor out again, saying that Longqing didn't think about how to eat and tea, and dreamed about you all day long. Lao Shoufu finally agreed, and returned to the cabinet in March to attend the dinner of the Pan Tao Festival............ Every quarter, the cabinet will have a dinner party to exchange feelings and communicate with each other, and the cabinet ministers just want to use the next dinner to see if they can let the two of them unveil this section at the wine table, even if it is a god who is separated from each other.

The two went to Gao Gong's mansion again, Gao Gong was not pretentious, and when he heard that Xu Jie went, he nodded and said, "Okay!" I'll go too! The promise was extremely happy, but it made Shen and Zhang have an ominous premonition, Zhang Juzheng said softly: "On that day, you can definitely collect your temper, everything is difficult at the beginning, let's pass this level, and we can gradually ease it in the future......"

"Yes" Shen Mo also said: "Without you and Yuanfu in this eye, the affairs of the cabinet are completely stagnant, and the state affairs are piled up, and if it is delayed, it will be chaotic!" ”

"Isn't it Li Chunfang who is temporarily regent?" Gao Gong said in surprise. Guo Pu was also involved, so the cabinet is now headed by Li Chunfang.

"Alas" the two sighed: "Li Shilu is not a person in charge, no matter what, he has to wait for you to come back and decide, so we are in a hurry." ”

"Okay." Gao Gong thought about it, but he still had to focus on state affairs, and finally nodded: "I'll let him when the time comes." "The heart said that no matter whether you are angry or not, if you can pass this level, it will be a blessing...... In fact, in his heart, he already knew very well that he could not match Xu Jie, so if he could calm things, he could accept it.

"So good," the two rejoiced, "Then we'll see you the day after tomorrow!" ”

After leaving the Gao Mansion, Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, I invited the two of them together to see if there could be a miracle at that time." ”

Zhang Juzheng didn't make a sound at first, but looked at him strangely and was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "You are so willing for them to come back?" ”

There was silence for a while, and I was stunned.! ~！
