Not to mention the back house of the Xu Mansion, Mrs. Qian held her daughter and shed tears like rain, and there was another situation in the study in the front hall, and Xu Jie, Zhou Yan and others were also noisy.

Zhou Yan, the imperial history of Zuodu, was a square person, and as soon as he heard that Xu Jie was going to marry his granddaughter to Yan Hong as a concubine, he immediately turned his face: "Brother Shaohu, how can you be so confused in doing things?" Now that you are the leader of Shilin, you should be a model for scholars in everything you say and do, how can you do such stupid deeds? You seconded the proposal to open the sea before, and you were already urging the bastard government affairs that destroyed the laws of the ancestors, for the sake of petty profits, and went abroad with the same sea, ignoring the lives and deaths of the people. Later, he took the initiative to propose marriage to the Yan Mansion, which tended to be inflammatory, which made the righteous people in the court feel cold. That's all this, now you have intensified your efforts and offered your granddaughter as a concubine, where is the backbone of such a bending thief? This matter is going to come out, I'm afraid that you Xu Zisheng will be smiling and generous. It's just a matter of personal honor and disgrace, you don't forget that you are the second assistant of the dynasty. Even you are so bent to the Yan thief, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who else dares to stop the Yan thief? Who else dares to come to support the government and promote righteousness? Your marriage is really aiding and abusive, and the relatives are bitter and hateful. In my opinion, you should quickly withdraw your chaotic life, find a proper person to marry the young lady, and get married as soon as possible. I see, the eldest son of the noble and tall Li Zishi is a handsome young man, and he is a good match for your Miss Sun, and he is a talented woman. Why don't you make this matchmaker as an old man? It is also so as not to make a big mistake and make the country resentful and worried. ”

Li Chunfang on the side, although he knew that the teacher really had a long-term plan in his heart, Xu Jie had already instructed him, so he naturally didn't dare to come out casually to help defend himself. Suddenly, he heard that he was lying down, and he was pointed out by Zhou Laodutang as the ideal public house of the granddaughter of the Xu family, but he was embarrassed and tight, and he nodded nod. Neither is shaking your head. I had to sit there in a daze. Xu Jie smiled slightly: "Brother Lushan." Although there are many drawbacks in this matter of opening the sea, you can't see that it is all the meaning of heaven. If we don't second the proposal, won't we provoke the anger of the heavenly family? Even if the old man is reluctant, he can only go against his will, so as not to anger Tianyan. Besides, the opening of the sea did help the court to collect more taxes. It's not all bad. As for my granddaughter, ahem. This is the old man's family matter, so I don't have to worry about it. ”

Zhou Yan didn't expect that his family had been allied with Xu Jie for a long time, but now in this matter, he actually refuted his own Jian Yì so bluntly, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Xu Zisheng, you are the first assistant of the dynasty, and there are many protégés and former officials, and I only think that my brother Tai has the style of Xia Guixi in the past." Because of Zheng Yufu's good words and persuasion on the day of his resignation, he led a cadre of protégés. With you as the leader of the alliance, I really expect to join forces with you to eliminate the traitors. I don't want you to be in power now, and I don't want to raise my arms and shout, hoeing and suppressing evil, but I am so cowardly, and when I see that the thief is powerful, I tend to be inflammatory. I think, you are no different from Yan Maoqing and others under Yan Songmen, I am afraid, how can the old man be with you? It's just that Brother Zisheng, please don't forget, Zhao Wenhua, Liu Cai, and Yang Shun under Yan Song's door, which one is not flattering and flattering Yan Thief, what will happen in the end? A beautiful woman, how can you be a thief, don't be infamous as a good husband when you are old! Farewell! Zhou Yan Zhou Daduxian poured out all his resentment against the Yanmen party on the head of this former ally Xu Jie. After scolding, he flicked his sleeves and got up to leave. A group of Zhou Yan's protégés and subordinates also left with them.

Zhang Juzheng saw that the teacher and Zhou Yan were arguing, and he was about to stop him, but he was signaled by Xu Jie's eyes, so he didn't move. The honest man Li Chunfang came back to his senses, and when he was about to stand up and chase after him, Zhang Juzheng stretched out his hand early and pulled Li Chunfang back. Looking at Zhou Yan's back, Xu Jie only said, "I'm sorry to send it away." He didn't even send it, so he let Zhou Yan lead his subordinates away.

After Zhou Yan left, Xu Jiecai said: "Brother Lushan has a temperament and doesn't know how to be flexible, so it's no wonder that he has suffered losses in several battles with the Yan family. If he is involved in this matter, I am afraid that it will inevitably be missed. ”

Li Chunfang said: "But Zhou Zongxian is now leaving in a bad mood, I am afraid that I will be separated from my benefactor, and you have also been friends for many years, which is a pity." Furthermore, if Zhou Zongxian's subordinates have a grudge against their mentor and no longer cooperate with our long-term plan, our faction will inevitably lose its strength. ”

Xu Jie said with a smile: "What I want is for him to cut off his robe and break off his righteousness with me, and cut off his friendship." In this way, I can completely win the trust of the Yan family, so that they will no longer have the heart to guard against me, so that they can do obscure plans. In order to hide from the Yan family, the old friend had to suffer a little grievance, and when the truth is revealed in the future, I think Brother Lushan can also understand my hard work. Yun Qing and Zishi, you two can go to see Zhou Langshan, and in your own name, you can ask for a little retention, so as not to act too much and be suspected. Whether he forgives me at this moment or not, I don't care, it's better if I don't forgive, so the strategy will be easier. As for the strength of the strength, even if I add Brother Zhou, it will be difficult for Yan Song to compete, and at this moment, it is helpless to bully the enemy with weakness. ”

Li Chunfang and Zou Yinglong hurriedly agreed, but Li Chunfang said: "The teacher is painstaking and lonely, and bears the burden of humiliation, which is comparable to the story of the infant who killed Tu Anjia at that time." It's just that this time, it not only hurt my niece, but also hurt my teacher's reputation. In fact, in his heart, he asked Miss Xu Ting's good name, and originally had the idea of letting his son marry the Xu family. It's just that Li Tianzhao fell into the eyes of his mentor before, how could Li Chunfang pull down his face and snatch it? Later, the teacher made this plan and wanted to use Xu Ting to marry the Yan family, so Li Chunfang had to swallow this idea. And now, Miss Xu in this show of wisdom actually wants to be a concubine for the traitor Yan family, although her daughter is not Li Chunfang's, but it is inevitable that she will feel a little regretful.

Zhang Juzheng said: "This is not necessarily the case. The concubine passes through the door, and there is no need to rush for a while. In my opinion, my niece is only twenty-eight years old this year anyway, so it is better to wait a year or two. Thinking that Yan Song is nearly eighty years old, how long can he be arrogant? And his son Yan Shifan's authority is growing, and he will inevitably fly high. If within one or two years, he will bring about his own defeat, and we will find an opportunity to annihilate the Yanmen party, then the foundation of the Yan family will be lost, and the decline can be expected. ”

Zou Yinglong nodded and said, "Uncle said this plan well. Li Chunfang also smiled slightly.

Xu Jie shook his head and said, "Definitely." If you only allow the concubine to pass the door, but you can't delay it, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to gain Yan Song's trust. Since this is used, you can't spare a granddaughter. I think before this summer, Ting'er will marry Yan Hong. Uncle, that Yan Hong is your student, and Yan Song also appreciates you. After this incident, you also have to move around a lot to help resolve Yan Fu's doubts. Especially Yan Shifan, cunning and suspicious, don't let him decipher our plans. ”

Zhang Juzheng thought of this delicate niece of Xu Ting, who was going to be a concubine after all, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. But the content of his sigh is not only this. Hearing his teacher's orders, Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "Obey the teacher's orders." In the eyes of the students, although Yan Shifan is cunning, he is the most narrow-minded because of his incomplete appearance. If it is neglected by others, it is very easy to be angry, and it will be retribution; And if it is respected, it is easy to get carried away. When the teacher married his niece to his son as a concubine, most of the Yan Shifan would be overjoyed, and his defensive heart would also drop greatly. Since the teacher is ready to let his niece pass through the door as soon as possible, then at the banquet, I will wait for Yan Song and Yan Shifan to say a few more words to the father and son, so that we can be more arrogant and paralyzed their ambitions. ”

Xu Jie clapped his hands and said, "Uncle said well, you are worthy of the old man's cultivation of you." From today on, the people under the old man's disciples must bow down to the Yan family, be proud of their hearts, and then see the flaws, and kill them with one blow. We must no longer engage in useless battles with other families over the smallest details. As for the matter of opening the sea, it was originally very involved, and we might as well pay attention to it. Since the Heavenly Family is willing to open the sea, the credit for this should not be discarded. However, Yan Hong is young and shallow, and he may not be able to manage such a major event as opening the sea. If he is not careful, we can take advantage of the chaos and capture him in one fell swoop. ”

Zou Yinglong said again: "Teacher, and the former governor of Jiliao, Wang Minying, who was imprisoned the year before because he resolutely refused to shake the border defense and relieve the south. Now that he has been in prison for more than a year, although he has not been abused, he is more than half a hundred years old after all, and he has been in prison for a long time, so I am afraid that it will be a big problem. If we are friends with the Yan Party, can we try to say a few kind words to save Wang Min and get out of prison. ”

Xu Jie's white and thin hands, ten fingers slightly bent and stretched for a long time, shook his head and said, "No need." Wang Min should be imprisoned, although it is called to anger the Heavenly Family, but in fact it angers the Yan Family. He was a member of the military department, and he had Yang Da Sima try to rescue him. If Yang Dasima can't save him, why should I bother to touch the Yan family's mold head for this matter? He paused for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "Yan Shifan wants to be domineering, so he will teach him to be domineering." Those who commit many acts of injustice will be killed, and retribution may not be in the present day. ”

(Today's smog is even worse than yesterday's, and the people of Beijing are trying to subdue it.) Have a good time everyone. (To be continued......)
