Chapter 879: Heavy Reward
Xu Jingming was angry, he could only sneer, stood up and said, "Hao Fenglou, you deceive people too much. ”
As soon as he became a brother, Xu Jingming brushed his sleeves away.
And Hao Fenglou didn't stop him, just sneered.
Anyway, Hao Fenglou is not in a hurry at all, just sit in the middle of the river and watch the wind rise and fall.
But it was said that Xu Jingming went out of the temple angrily and returned to the mansion, now, the illness can't be pretended, what happened today has confirmed that he and Hao Fenglou wolf bèi are in cahoots, the two have burned the yellow paper after all, and so many people have seen it, once it spreads, everyone will only think that he Xu Jingming is determined to be the son of heaven, so he pulled Hao Fenglou, hoping to get Hao Fenglou's support.
This kind of countless slanderous remarks made Xu Jingming upset, but he had no way at all, he couldn't do anything, and he was helpless.
So he returned to the mansion, but in the end he had to sigh and ordered someone to prepare to drive into the palace for an audience.
Now, pretending to be a grandson has become a luxury, thinking that a bigger storm is coming, and Hao Fenglou is pressing step by step, Xu Jingming can't imagine what the consequences will be if this matter is delayed.
At present, the most important thing for the court is to stabilize the vassal king first, and then stabilize the Langshan army, if it can't be stabilized, the Langshan army will be difficult at this time, will the court be finished and don't say, Jinling is gone, Jiangxi is gone, the Xu family is gone, but there are so many vassal kings in the world, the Ming Dynasty will definitely have a new court, or in Kaifeng, or in Luoyang to re-establish the capital, and the Hao family will have a showdown, but so, the Empress Dowager Xu and he Xu Jingming are going to be doomed.
Thinking of this, although Xu Jingming glared angrily at Hao Fenglou, he couldn't help but be a little afraid. This matter must be discussed with the Queen Mother.

When she arrived in the palace, Empress Dowager Xu also had a headache here. A eunuch just came to report, saying that Xu Jingming and Hao Fenglou burned yellow paper. Empress Dowager Xu was suddenly furious, all kinds of malicious speculations have been continuing, at this time, you are still afraid that others will not find real evidence, this nephew is really not reliable.
Xu Jingming saw the Empress Dowager Xu, and when he saw that the Empress Dowager Xu's face was gloomy, he naturally knew what was going on, so he had to smile bitterly: "Weichen has seen Niangniang." ”
Empress Dowager Xu looked at him deeply and said, "The mourning family heard that you are sick. How's it going, now alright? ”
Xu Jingming didn't want to dwell on this matter, but said: "Weichen came here to be entrusted by Hao Fenglou to discuss the reward. ”
Empress Dowager Xu was angry, and said in a fierce voice: "Are you embarrassed to mention these words?" Are you still not from the Xu family, when did you become a lackey of the Hao family? ”
Xu Jingming smiled bitterly: "The matter has come to this, and Weichen has made a mistake. Let Hao Fenglou be fooled, and now the court is worried about internal and external troubles, the princes and kings sharpen their knives, and the officials are not convinced. Qing Yi was panicked, and the Hao family was eyeing him, and Weichen didn't want to be a lobbyist for the Hao family. It's just that...... It's just that in this situation, the only way to calm things is to calm people. Fang is the best policy, whether it is the vassal king or the Hao family. Or hundreds of officials, all have to be settled, especially this Hao family, is a problem in the heart, no matter how uneasy it is, it is the root cause of the disaster, at that time, the society is still not there, Weichen does not dare to criticize, but the Queen Mother and the Xu family are only afraid of a catastrophe, and now the Xu family has become the target of the public, and can no longer withstand the toss, the Queen Mother, Weichen is dead, and there is a negative grace, but this matter is urgent, and please ask the mother to judge. ”
Xu Jingming is rare to be serious, and what he said is not unreasonable, in the current situation, what is the use of jumping like thunder, if it is not solved, then it will really be finished together.
Empress Dowager Xu was a person who understood after all, and seeing that her nephew was dumb and eating coptis, her face softened, and she said: "In this case, the reward that the Hao family asked for, the mourning family should be gracious." ”
Xu Jingming shook his head and said: "That Hao Fenglou is not enough to swallow elephants, and now he has put forward new conditions. ”
Empress Dowager Xu's face suddenly turned cold.
In fact, as the minds of both parties, they all know that everyone is actually doing business, everyone has different confidences, and the price code is naturally different, but this Hao Fenglou first put the Xu family on the cusp, and now he is falling into the well, stepping on the Xu family's sick body, so sky-high asking for a price, it is really a little bit of your cheekiness, which makes people feel very unconvinced.
Empress Dowager Xu has seen the wind and waves after all, the more sharp Hao Fenglou's means are, the more she can't wait to ignore it, and after a moment of silence, Empress Dowager Xu said: "What else does he want?" ”
Xu Jingming said: "This Hao family's desire is difficult to fill, and they still want to get involved in Sichuan and Guizhou. ”
Empress Dowager Xu's eyes flashed a hint of coldness.
Guizhou political envoy is not enough, this is Zhu Di reign, the new political envoy, in the past, it was just Sizhou Xuanwei Division and Sinan Xuanwei Division, located in a remote place, sparsely populated, the imperial court does not care, but Sichuan is the country of abundance, is a more important tax base for the imperial court, and the population is also a lot, if it is assigned to the Hao family, the Hao family is already sitting on the West, and occupies Liangguang and Yunnan, if Sichuan and Guizhou are cut again, then add the two Western provinces, the Hao family has the power of seven provinces, Although these seven provinces are not the Central Plains, nor is it the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, but the power of the imperial court is constantly shrinking, and now what is really controlled is only the two capitals, eight or nine provinces, if this is the case, half of the world is owned by the Hao family, and the Zhu family and the Hao family rule the world together has become a reality.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Xu couldn't help but worry, but she was also able to quickly recognize the reality, the reality is that if the Xu family refuses to agree, then it is inevitable that the Hao family will take more extreme moves, and then contact the princes and kings to deviate from morality, and the officials and gentry are already very disappointed in the Xu family, this court may not be able to keep it, and the Xu family is afraid that it will not be able to keep it.
Empress Dowager Xu sighed faintly before she said, "What do you think of this matter?" ”
Xu Jingming sighed and said: "Now he is a knife warrior, and I am a fish and meat, so I can only do it for the time being, and then make plans in the future." ”
It's ridiculous to say, what the Hao family army didn't get on the battlefield is now all given by this Hao Fenglou's recital, and this unwillingness makes the mood of the aunt and nephew fall to the bottom.
