"But there is one thing that our family doesn't understand, that Jianchang Marquis Zhang Yanling has been silent recently. In the past www.biquge.info, the Zhang brothers were all in and out together, which is a bit abnormal. ”

Gu Da suddenly changed his words and said in a deep voice: "It's not that this Zhang brothers want to conspire to play some tricks. ”

"Well, it's always good to be a little more mindful."

Xie Shen nodded lightly and said: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and these things will be handed over to Father-in-law Gu, Xie can rest assured." ”

Gu Dayong was naturally in a good mood when he was complimented by Xie Shen, and he smiled and said, "Xiaoge is too old. However, our family can assure Xiao Ge Lao that with our family, the Zhang brothers will not succeed in their treacherous schemes. ”

At this moment, a spy from the West Factory came to report, and Gu Dayong hesitated for a moment but asked him to come in and report it.

After all, this is Xie Shen's mansion, and he is a bit noisy in doing so.

After listening to the report, Gu Dayong's complexion changed greatly. Xie Shen saw it in his eyes, and also urged: "Father-in-law Gu, what happened?" ”

"Our family is still talking about the Marquis of Jianchang, and if the Marquis of Jianchang is not built, there will be some big trouble."

"Oh?"

Hearing that this matter was related to Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, Xie Shen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with interest.

"Yang Ting and Governor Yang have hundreds of acres of land outside the capital division, and the location is excellent. That Jianchang Marquis saw it, so he couldn't help but say that he asked the servants to rob it and occupy it for his own use. No, Governor Yang's son brought the lawsuit to the Shuntian Mansion. ”

Xie Shen nodded, sure enough, it is easy to change the nature of the country. Zhang Yanling and his brother are simply carved out of the same mold.

Yang Tinghe is now the governor of the three sides, a first-class feudal official, Zhang Yanling doesn't even sell Yang Tinghe's face, it's really empty-eyed.

Wait, isn't Yang Tinghe's son the talented Yang Shen?

Yang Gongzi should be in his early twenties this year, and it is the time when he is full of spirit and blood, so he naturally will not endure the bird spirit of Jianchanghou.

In this matter, his Yang family occupies a reason, and he is not afraid of the lawsuit even if it is fought in front of the emperor.

"However, this kind of case of power and elite contention will not be accepted by the Shuntianfu Yamen. Our family estimates that this case will eventually have to be decided by His Majesty. ”

Gu Dayong's analysis is very reasonable, the prefect of Shuntian Mansion is a big official, and he is as humble as an ant in front of Jianchang Hou and Yang Tinghe.

He didn't dare to offend either of these two people, as long as the case was picked up, it would inevitably offend one party, so the safest way was to push the case out.

It stands to reason that above the Shuntian Mansion are the three law divisions, but the three law divisions will not accept this kind of trivial case, so only His Majesty the Emperor will be affected and personally intervene.

"Does Grandpa Gu think this is an opportunity?"

Gu Dayong nodded frequently and said, "Yes, if you don't die, you will be harmed by it." In the end, this Zhang brother is a cousin, and there is a hidden danger for Xiaoge Lao to only remove Shouning Hou but leave Jianchang Hou. Our family is still worried about the Jianchang Marquis pretending to be a grandson, and this guy can't help but fight with the Yang family, God really helps me. ”

Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling and Shouning Hou Zhang Heling are the two living treasure brothers who really want to turn the Ming Dynasty upside down, as if they can't show the essence of their jumping clowns, Xie Shen is naturally happy to see this.

The more violent they are, the faster they die.

"Father-in-law Gu thinks that His Majesty will let Xichang handle this matter?"

"That's nature. If there was a fight between Jinyiwei and Dongchang in the past, but now Jinyiwei and Dongchang have just been punished by His Majesty, and this burden can only be provoked by our family. ”

Xie Shen smiled noncommittally and said, "Isn't there still an inner factory?" ”

"Inner factory?"

Gu Dayong was stunned for a moment, and the old man of Xiaoge was really thoughtful, why did he forget this stubble.

The inner factory was founded by Liu Jin, the chief eunuch of the original Eight Tigers, and was called the three factories and one guard together with the East Factory, the West Factory, and Jinyiwei. Its basic duty is naturally to monitor the actions of hundreds of officials, but because the scale is too small, it has been suppressed by the Jinyi Guards of the East Factory and the West Factory, and it is difficult to get ahead.

Coupled with the fall of Liu Jin, the inner factory naturally became another child who was not loved by his father and mother, and gradually declined in name only.

However, this case is not a big one, and it can't be guaranteed that His Majesty really moved the mind of reopening the inner factory.

After all, the most common means used by the Son of Heaven is checks and balances, and he will never let the powerful ministers appear easily.

There have been too many recent limelight in the West Factory, and it is understandable that the Son of Heaven does not hand over the task to the West Factory at this time.

"What does Xiao Ge Lao mean that His Majesty intends to take this opportunity to let the inner factory get a piece of the pie?"

"This is still a guess by Xie, but it is indeed possible."

Xie Shen analyzed unhurriedly: "Xie Mou thinks that Father-in-law Gu should not be in a hurry to express his position on this matter, and it is not too late to wait for the Son of Heaven to make a decision." ”

"Xiaoge Lao Gaojian, our family has been taught."

Gu Dayong nodded at Xie Shen and said, "It would be a pity if this errand didn't fall into the hands of the West Factory." This is a great opportunity to cut off the Zhang brothers together. ”

Gu Dayong has been in the palace for so many years, and he is used to seeing intrigue and intrigues, so he naturally understands the truth of long nights and dreams.

The Zhang brothers are now full of flaws, and if they don't exert their strength at this time, I'm afraid there will be no better chance.

"Jianchanghou doesn't care about this matter, even if it is not for the West Factory to handle the case, he can't bargain."

Xie Shen has a different opinion: "The key now is to bring down Shou Ning Hou, as long as Shou Ning Hou falls, Jianchang Hou will also follow in his footsteps." Take 10,000 steps back, and when the time comes, Gonggong Gu will free up his hands to clean up Jianchang Hou. ”

"That's right. Then follow the meaning of Xiao Ge Lao first, and deal with Shou Ninghou with all his might. ”

Gu Dayong smiled slightly.

"These days, our family sent some fans from the West Factory to inspect around the old mansion of Xiaoge, so as not to send someone to commit murder by jumping over the wall in a hurry."

There is no doubt that Gu Da is seeking stability with this move. Now that their advantage is too big and they have seen the victory, it is natural to be more secure at this time.

On the other hand, Nashou Ninghou was already red-eyed in defeat. People do anything crazy when they're desperate.

"Then thank you Grandpa Gu."

Xie Shen nodded at Gu Dayong. Although he has a lot of guards in the house, after all, he is not as experienced as Xichang Fanzi.

At this time, there were Xichang Fanzi guarding outside the mansion, and Xie Shen was also a little relieved.

He had already calculated a last resort, and the only risk was that Zhang Heling would send assassins to commit murder in a desperate manner.

Family is the most cherished by Xie Shen, and he will never allow him to be threatened by Shou Ninghou.

"What are we talking about between us, you are too much of an outsider, Xiaoge."

Gu Da waved his big hand and said: "After our family returned to Xichang, we allocated a hundred people to wait outside the old mansion of Xiaoge in the clothes of ordinary people. If someone really dares to assassinate Xiaoge Lao without opening his eyes, then he will take it down, and after the interrogation, he can add an article to Shou Ninghou's charge. ”

......

......

Xie Shen nodded, and said with a slight smile: "Great goodness, just do it." ”

"Then don't bother Xiao Ge Lao."

Gu Dayong knew that Xie Shen still had to supervise the little son Xie Xu to study, so he got up and said goodbye.

Xie Shen sent Gu Dayong out of the house and watched him leave.

After Gu Dayong left, Xie Shen shook his head, his heart full of amazement.

To be honest, he doesn't like the calculation of officialdom, but people can't help themselves.

If he doesn't calculate, he will be calculated. If he doesn't fight, he will be squeezed out of the inner circle of power.

Whether Xie Shen wants to admit it or not, Daming's officialdom is such a model. Even if you are a cabinet scholar and an emperor, as long as you reveal the slightest reluctance to fight, you will be swallowed up by the tigers, leopards and jackals behind you.

For the sake of his family, for the sake of his wife and children, Xie Shen must also keep tensing his nerves, and he must not slack off.

His son Xie Xu was going to take the county exam in a few years, and Xie Shen was not worried about his homework, so he personally supervised his son during these times.

Wang Shouren and Xie Shen are both top talents, and the two of them tutored Xie Xu together, and it was difficult for Xie Xu to improve his knowledge.

Xie Shen felt that his son was in the upper middle class, and although it was unlikely to rank among the top three, it should not be a problem to mix up with a jinshi.

What is the champion list, in fact, is a bit of scenery, but the sensation and attention it has caused may not be a good thing.

Those who are from a poor family are better, and a person like his son who has the halo of a university scholar on his head may be hated by countless people, and it is not known that he will secretly contribute to the trouble.

Xie Shen is not Zhang Juzheng, but he can't do anything like Zhang Shoufu choosing his son as the champion.

In his opinion, this is not helping his son, but harming him.

What is the most important thing to be an official in the court? It's not how high the start is, but the reputation must be good.

If someone is labeled, the upper limit has been set, and it is difficult to achieve a high position.

Xie Shen will naturally do it for his son, but everything should be done step by step, and it must not be a matter of course.

To Xie Shen's relief, his son seemed to understand his hard work, and he didn't have much to think about except for studying.

Although the son was born wealthy, he did not have a trace of gentleness.

Of course, this is related to Xie Shen's guidance, strict self-discipline and generosity are the family motto of the Xie family.

Xie Shen knows that it is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business, and if future generations can pass on this family business, they must keep their original intentions.

When he came to his son's study and saw that he was composing, Xie Shen smiled with relief: "How is the article doing?" For the Father's sake. ”

Recently, Wang Shouren gave Xie Xu a set of current writing topics, with all kinds of types of big and small interceptions.

Xie Xu is also very serious about doing a set of topics every day, and the article will definitely grow under such high-intensity training.

"Daddy is here."

Xie Xu hurriedly leaned over and respectfully presented the article.

Xie Xu took the paper and unfolded it, the topic was self-denial and revenge, a very common topic.

Looking at Xie Xu's topic, problem-solving, and writing are extremely smooth, as if he has everyone's style.

Xie Shen frowned and said, "You did this?" ”

Although he saw that his son was writing an essay with his own eyes, he still couldn't believe that the article was written by his son.

"It was my son."

Xie Xu's answer was obviously not very confident, which aroused Xie Shen's suspicions even more.

"You tell your dad honestly, you didn't attack this article!"

The change in Xie Shen's attitude startled Xie Xu, and he subconsciously took a step back, his eyes full of horror.

"Daddy, my son knows that he is wrong. This article was written by Mr. Wang, and his son wanted to revise it and memorize it in case he needed it. ”

After learning the truth, Xie Xu said with some tears and laughter: "This kind of atmosphere can't exist, readers must have the backbone of readers, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed when you pick up people's teeth and speak out?" ”

The son is the most critical moment in the formation of the outlook on life, and he must not be led astray.

The difference between Wang Shouren's article and a child's article could be seen at a glance, and Xie Shen felt the need to talk to his son.

"Silly boy, what are you studying for?"

It's a complicated question, and it's hard to answer.

Xie Xu pondered for a moment and said loudly: "For the sake of the saints, continue to learn, and open peace for all generations." ”

Xie Shen shook his head and said, "What you said is good, but it's not what you think. ”

Xie Xu learned that his mind was seen through by his father at a glance, and his face turned red.

"Dad is here to tell you what you are studying for, to make your life better, so that you can have the ability to do the big things you said."

Xie Shen said unhurriedly.

If he wants his son to completely become a pragmatist, Xie Shen can't accept it, he just needs his son to understand how to behave in the world, be tactful when he should be tactful, and be upright when he should be upright.

As he said, only with power in his hands can he do those important things that are beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood. Otherwise, if you just shout a slogan or two, then anyone can do it, but what's the use?

"What Daddy taught me was that my son was taught."

Xie Xu lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Xie Shen touched his son's head and said, "It's good to know that you are wrong, who hasn't made a mistake yet." Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference. ”

"Hmm."

Xie Xu pursed his lips and nodded gratefully.

He always wanted to be a good son and a good student in the eyes of his father, but because he wanted to show himself too much, he went astray.

Fortunately, it's not too late to wake up.

"By the way, Daddy, my son is going to marry the daughter of Zhou Shilang's family."

Xie Xu's sudden attack made Xie Shenzhi stunned.

"What do you mean? You want to marry the daughter of Zhou Shilang's family? ”

How old is his son, and he is in a hurry to get married?

"What, Daddy doesn't agree?"

Xie Xu was obviously a little anxious and hurriedly asked.

"You let Daddy think about it." Xie Shen sighed, and did not immediately reply to his son, but took a delaying strategy.

Anyone who is facing the marriage of their children will probably be as helpless as Xie Shen.

The difference is only that some people will find a reasonable solution to the problem after panicking, while others will continue to mess up.

Xie Shen naturally wished he was the former.

"Do you really like Miss Zhou?"

"My son is in love with her, and we are willing to join hands for a hundred years."

Xie Shen couldn't hold back a puff of laughter, slapped his son's head and said, "How old are you, and you're going to join hands with her for a hundred years?" ”

Xie Xu raised his head and said: "This is not about age, but about attitude!" ”

"If you really want to, then you have to wait until you have taken the fame test."

Xie Shen hesitated for a moment and said, "Otherwise, if my father delays his fame and career because of his children's personal affairs, I won't agree." ”

Xie Shen felt that it was still necessary to establish his father's authority, otherwise this stinky boy would not have to go to the house to uncover the tiles.
