Chapter 841: Who knows the undercurrent
readx;
After Xu Zhitao issued this order, the commander of the personal guard bowed down, turned around and went down to arrange, the Xu family of the Duke of Wei has been rich for nearly two hundred years, and it is naturally extraordinary, but under this style, he also strives to maintain the tradition of the martial arts generals, which is different.

Except for those military generals who were awarded for their military exploits, the rest of them are trying to lean towards Si, and the children of the family are all imitators, which is a joke.
The pro-guard commander went down to the hall, and the contemporary Duke of Wei Xu Zhitao stood up from his seat and walked a few steps in the study, when three people from outside also came in and sat down after a brief salute.
Xu Zhitao didn't sit down, and asked directly to one of them:
"Third brother, what do you think of this matter?"
The three people sitting on the side all have similarities in appearance to Xu Zhitao, but they are younger, and the relatives of the Xu family have one interest, so it is natural to invite people from other branches to come over to discuss such matters.
Hearing the head of the family ask, Xu Zhitao's third brother replied with a deep groan:
"Our family's people in Beijing are still reliable, and several relationships in the palace are also decades of friendship, Wang Tong's errand is to check on the Songjiang Xu family, and there will be no other purpose."
Speaking of this, Xu Zhitao's third brother slammed to the ground. , scolded with a smile:
"Our family's surname is Xu, and their family's surname is Xu, it's really fucking unlucky."
"Third brother, don't say that, who in Nanjing City remembers our family over the years, those people talk about the Songjiang Xu family all day long, saying that it is the crown of Jiangnan!"
"It's ridiculous, the status of our family is fought by the ancestors and the great-grandfather in life and death, he is a person who plays with the pen, how..."
Xu Zhitao frowned, stomped his feet, raised his voice and said:
"What's the use of talking about this, now is not the time to talk about this."
The one who had been silent said in a deep voice:
"Big brother, brothers for so many years, no matter what the Son of Heaven wills, the palace can always spread the news, people like us can not know any news, but this time, our family does not know a little bit in advance on this letter, brothers, Wang Tong has such a great merit to give marriage first, and then let him go out of Beijing when his foothold is not stable, the key to this matter is to knock Wang Tong, not to spy on us."
Hearing him say this, everyone nodded, and this one continued:
"But since this anonymous letter says so, it always makes sense to be careful, and I also ask the eldest brother to order the people below and the people in each room to be more restrained, and it is not good to be caught by the Qincha, and then see the reaction of other families, although the noble family in Nanjing City is respected by the Xu family, but there are many Hou Bo, and they have not informed my family, they don't know the truth!"
"Boss, this is a safe way to grow old, just do what you say!"
Xu Zhitao nodded there, but the two people on the side started to talk again:
"He Zhu family killed heroes and suspected that the heroes had been used to helping them fight for life and death for so many years, and in the end there was no good end, it was really chilling, I heard that this Wang Tong and the Son of Heaven have played since childhood, and they have saved the life of the Son of Heaven, and they have made such a contribution much more than our ancestors!"
"Our ancestors haven't been made to be steamed pastoral"
"Sixth, outsiders are just talking nonsense, how can you Xu family room also follow the nonsense here to talk nonsense about our ancestors in the Beijing Army's death factory and Nanjing's steamed goose What is the relationship between saying this, it is plain and makes people laugh."
At that time, Xu Da was the military general of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang killed the hero, and it was also rumored that Xu Da had gangrene on his back, and he would die if he ate a steamed goose, but Zhu Yuanzhang gave a steamed crow, Xu Da ate it with tears, and died violently that night, but this was just a rumor in the market, Xu Da was guarding in Beiping Mansion at that time, which is now the Jingshi Town, and he was just recovering from his old illness in the army.
Xu Zhitao reprimanded, but took out the letter, which was very simple, saying that Wang Tong came to Nanzhili this time, ostensibly to investigate the case of encroachment on land in Songjiang Xufu, but secretly to investigate the illegal loyalty of Jiangnan nobles.
The Xu family of Wei Guogong has been in Nanjing for nearly two hundred years, with dense ears and eyes, intertwined relations and forces, and the news is naturally very well-informed.
Those families of the nobles who were flourishing all received such anonymous letters, which all said that the purpose of Wang Tong's visit to Jiangnan this time was to investigate the encroachment of Songjiang Xufu, but secretly it was to investigate the illegal things of the nobles in Jiangnan and return the property and land of the nobles to the heavenly family.
This statement is appalling, but if you think about it, it is not groundless, since the Wanli Emperor favored Wang Tong, the Marquis of Anping died and the clan was wiped out, and the Marquis of Wuqing was also suppressed, and the Jingshi Xungui was much more restrained than before, although these two things have their own reasons, but if you study them carefully, this seems to represent the royal suppression of the nobles.
Wang Tong's intention to come to Jiangnan is debatable, no matter what the result of the Wanli Emperor's marriage to Wang Tong is, it is a kind of temptation and beating on the heroes, but in the same way, how the process symbolizes something, and how the result also symbolizes what, Wang Tong is still married to a good family girl as a wife, he is still the commander of Dingbei Hou and Jinyi Weidu, this is the result, and what the nobles of Nanzhili see is this result.
Since Wang Tong is still the commander of the Marquis of Dingbei and Jinyiwei, and his position of power is not moving, then Wang Tong's departure from Beijing under Qin's order is not necessarily to make him unable to stand firm in Beijing.
Then this will may not be just a reason, Wang Tong must have the intention of coming to Jiangnan to do something.
The ups and downs of the Huan Sea, rich and noble people, with a little political common sense, can make such a judgment, Nanjing can do it, and Jingshi can do it too.
Not every person who received this letterhead could deal with it as calmly as the Duke of Wei's mansion, not every family would hand over the letterhead as soon as they encountered this kind of thing, and not every person who read the letter was driven to the Zhuangzi outside the city and circled.
When a few of them found out, they immediately went to their relatives to discuss countermeasures, and the people were not idle, and immediately spread what they saw and heard.
This kind of thing everyone likes to discuss, everyone likes to spread it, there is not much time, the whole Nanjing has been spread, according to the disposal of such things in the past, everyone has to gather in the palace of Wei Guogong, but also to invite the Nanjing town guard eunuch and the Nanjing military department Shangshu to be present, please a few people to take an idea.
"Everyone, the will has been clearly stated in the Di Bao, it is the right capital of Nanjing, Yu Shi Hairui, who is on the right side of Nanjing, who impeached the Xu family in Songjiang for encroaching on the land, and Jinyi Wei commanded Wang Tong Wang to go out of Beijing to investigate, everyone in the Di Bao has seen it, is there anything else? Why didn't we see it? ”
Hu Zhizhong, the eunuch guarding the town of Nanjing, asked coldly, and when this question came out, the people below were silent, and everyone was speechless.
"Everyone, the rain and dew and thunder are all Si Ze, how the holy will is not something you and I can speculate, since the will is so clear, then why do you have to do so many useless actions, if these feelings are transmitted to the Jingshi, I'm afraid it won't be beautiful!"
Hu Zhizhong turned out to be the head of the six Kelang of the celebrant supervisor, because he was serious and cautious, he had the opportunity to come to Nanjing to be a town guard, his temperament did not advance, so that Nanjing's nobles were quite jealous of him, and seeing the cold field below, Xu Zhitao, the Duke of Wei, had to stand up and play a round.
"What Gong Hu said is true, what Grandpa Wei said is true."
There was a burst of echoes below, as for what the heart thought, no one knows, but the noise on the bright side was suppressed on this day, and the undercurrent was turbulent, which no one could control.
……”
"Sure enough, it's the Yangtze River moat, how can it be more than ten miles wide?"
All the way south, entering the Yangtze River on the side of Jiangdu, for a cadre who is often active in the north, it is rare to come to the south of the Yangtze River, it is rare to cross the Yangtze River, and it is necessary to see and know.
The river is vast, it is indeed shocking, in the army, the approximate distance Wang Tong also has an estimate through visual inspection, but the width of the Yangtze River still surprised Wang Tong.
"It hasn't rained for half a month, and when it rains, the big man will come and see, the river is even wider?"
The boatman opened his mouth there to explain, Wang Tong shook his head there, just laughed there, but did not continue to speak, when he passed through the Yangtze River in that life, the width of the Yangtze River was almost less than a quarter of the river surface in front of him, and the vicissitudes of the sea, hundreds of years have passed, and there are changes between heaven and earth after all.
Such a wide river is really a natural danger under the war system of this era, and of course, in fact, it cannot hinder a determined army.
Wang Tong sighed here, there is no need to say that his personal guards are not to say, although Tan Dahu and Tan Erhu brothers used to be in Zhejiang, but at that time they had no memory when they were young, and seeing it today is no different from the first time, they all have grown up and are shocked and abnormal.
Before crossing the river, the boiling in Nanjing was also informed by the king, and Liu Saburo opened his mouth to this:
"Master Hou, when things come to such a point, there must be humming behind the scenes, but whether this person has a heart or not is the Songjiang Xu family, this is really hard to say."
…”—”
"Who the hell did this!?"
In Songjiang Xu Mansion, Xu Fan asked a cadre in front of him sharply, everyone in front of him bowed their heads, but no one answered, and after a while, a staff member beside him whispered:
"The proprietor, this incident has made Nanjing Xungui the same enemy, and made all parts of the south of the Yangtze River hostile to Wang Tong, which is not a bad thing, so as not to point sharply only to this side.
"Confused!! There are other ways to muddy the water, involving the holy decree and the nobles of Nanjing, what kind of disaster will it cause!! ”
"Proprietor, if our own family does it, it is indeed causing trouble, if not, it will be beneficial to us, so why bother?"
Xu Duleng snorted, waved his hand to let the person in front of him retreat, was silent for a while, and said:
"Send Mr. Dai 50,000 taels of silver over, this situation in Nanjing, let him see if there is a chance to exert himself!" (To be continued,
