The list submitted by Xu Guangzuo is very skillful, although it is only the removal of two marquis, but he submitted all the names of the nine marquis except Zhang Lun, Qian Taichang and Meng Tang to Zhengde, which means that you look at it, I will give you full freedom of choice; In addition, the reason for the large-scale submission of the list is also to give an explanation to the Hou Ye in the future, because it is not his responsibility to be selected from so many people in the end, and he has tried his best to give everyone a fair opportunity.

What I didn't expect was that such a big list was quickly rejected. Zhengde's comment on the list is: Qing is perfunctory in this matter, and I will choose it for you.

Xu Guangzuo went to see him before to explain, Zhengde didn't see him at all, only Zhang Yong smiled and said a few words to Xu Guangzuo, who was standing in front of the Qianqing Palace, and these words made Xu Guangzuo's soul fly away.

"You sent something that day, and the emperor ordered our family to send it to the Queen Mother's palace, and the Queen Mother was furious; Old man Xu, you hurt our family, what are you not good to send, come to the palace to 'send the end', if it weren't for the fact that you are the third old minister, the emperor and the queen mother will probably investigate you for the crime of ill-intentionedness. The Queen Mother said that you are old and confused, hey, our family also took a few slaps for you, and our family does not plan to settle this account with you, but what things will be transferred in the future, what news will be transmitted, don't come to our family again, our family is not not not giving you the face of Dingguogong, our family is afraid of being beaten again. ”

Xu Guangzuo returned to the mansion calmly, smoked a few big mouths of himself in the study, and then ordered someone to call his son Xu Yande back to the house, closed the door of the study, and took the big bamboo board to chase Xu Yande's chickens and dogs, because this Western clock was brought back by Xu Yande outside, and it was also Xu Yande's idea to send it to the palace as a gift.

"Call me stupid, didn't you say anything when I said to give this away? I'm stupid, didn't you give birth to it? Xu Yande ran and screamed, Xu Guangzuo was so angry that he fell to the ground under his legs, this time he was not pretending to be sick, he was really sick.

A few days later, Zhengde announced the appointment and dismissal of the two admirals of the regimental battalion, Qian Taichang and Meng Tang were removed from the post of admiral, transferred out of the regimental camp and released to the Nanjing Admiral Nanjing Left-behind Division, and the two newly promoted marquis Jiang Bin and Xu Tai entered the regimental camp, and the admiral Zhenwei battalion and the martial arts training battalion.

Xu Guangzuo stood on the court with a cane, unable to do anything about this, looking at the smiling faces of Song Nan and Zhang Lun and others standing on the side, Xu Guangzuo couldn't wait to pounce and bite it. The expressions of the marquis of the group of wall-headed grass are also disgusting, and they congratulated Jiang Bin and Xu Tai lively, and soon called him brother and brother, Xu Guangzuo not only sighed, the change of people's faces is so fast, it is even more difficult to fathom than the cloudy sky in the sky.

After the next dynasty, Xu Guangzuo stopped Yang Tinghe, who was indifferent to this qiē, he knew that from now on, he could no longer be in an equal position with Song Nan, although Song Nan was not promoted or promoted, but the power in his hands has reached a certain point, Zhang Yong of the inner court is the only one who is the head of the horse, holding the Jinyi Guard to command the envoy this powerful yamen, and now he has achieved huge control in the Beijing camp, and his hand should go deep into the outer court.

"Old man Xu, your body is fine." Standing in the small garden north of the Wenhua Palace, Yang Tinghe asked calmly.

Xu Guangzuo nodded and said, "Thank you Yang Shoufu for your concern, I'm fine, but I'm panicking." ”

Yang Tinghe smiled faintly and said, "Old man, look away, some things have to be discussed in the long run; The changes in the regimental camp this time are actually self-inflicted, the marquis of the regimental camp are not diligent, they only know how to make money and enclose land, this is a lesson. Even if there is no help from someone behind him, the emperor will not tolerate the fact that the Beijing camp cannot defeat the foreign army and the newly built Shenshu camp, and it will be a fiasco. I have to say that Song Nan still has some skills. ”

Xu Guangzuo couldn't hear Yang Tinghe say good things about Song Nan, and his face became ugly: "Yang Shoufu, the old man is not here to listen to you say this, and the old man is not here to ask for mercy; I'm here to remind you that Song Nan is ambitious, and now in addition to the outer court, his hands and feet have been densely covered in the court, and after the old man, his target is probably your outer court. Yang Shoufu, it's time for you to come out and do something. ”

Yang Tinghe sneered: "Does he dare to stretch his hand to the outer court?" He doesn't have the ability to do it; My foreign court officials are not like some people, who only care about their interests regardless of the solar terms, call their brothers and sisters on their front feet, and fall apart in the blink of an eye. The officials of the outer court are all backbone people who have read the books of the sages, and we are all determined to serve the imperial court regardless of personal gains and losses. ”

Xu Guangzuo laughed and said: "Yang Shoufu, you are still so naïve at your age, Li Shoufu also thought so back then, what was the result?" Jiao Fang Gu Zuo's disciple is not a scholar? Now you say the same, that's repeating the mistakes of the past. The old man, the governor of the regiment and battalion, exists in name only, and will be replaced by others when he speaks; If you Yang Shoufu don't watch each other, I see that your outer court will not be able to live in peace for a few days. ”

Yang Tinghe waved his hand and said: "You don't care about the affairs of my outer court, does Old Master Xu want this official to make a statement for you to keep the position of governor in the court?" I can do it, and while I'm not afraid of somebody, I don't want to see him too proud. ”

Xu Guangzuo felt a little better in his heart, if Yang Tinghe could really speak for him, maybe he could still keep his position as governor, even if it was an empty shelf.

"The old man is not greedy for his position, the old man has been through ups and downs all his life, and now that he is old, he still cares about these false names? I just don't want the Ming Dynasty to come out with another powerful and troubled country; Liu Jin has only been dead for a year, is it possible that my Ming Dynasty is going to come out with a second emperor? In comparison, Liu Jin is only a minister, he has no real power in his hands, if this person has military power in his hands, then he is a minister. And the power of the minister is terrible, there is no need for the old man to say more, has Yang Shoufu ever thought about this? ”

Yang Tinghe's face changed color, but he immediately became calm again, he would not be stupid to answer this conversation; Xu Guangzuo is now desperate, so when he said these words, he wanted to pull himself into the water, but he couldn't help but underestimate himself; However, this Xu Guangzuo is not completely alarmist, and it seems that Song Nan should be paid more attention.

"Dingguo Gong, you can't talk like this, you must stand on the court, you must stand upright, and not involve personal affairs; The character of others cannot be judged by their personal likes and dislikes; At least I don't see any other intentions for Song Nan, some of the things he did did have his legitimate reasons; For example, if the regimental camp itself is not corrupted, why is it afraid of flies flying? ”

Xu Guangzuo snorted coldly and didn't speak.

"Tinghe, thank you grandfather for reminding me, I will remember these words; However, I hope that the grandfather will not talk about these things in the future, and the matter of chasing wind and shadows is not the work of important ministers of the court such as me; The old man's own affairs, Tinghe mediated with all his might; In fact, what Tinghe wanted to persuade the old man was that the regimental camp was not suitable for you, and it was a big mistake for the old man to leave the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to become the governor of the regimental battalion. If I really step down now, I'm afraid I can only stay at home. ”

Xu Guangzuo laughed and said, "What about leisure? What haven't I experienced in my life? Advice is contrary to ear, Yang Shoufu does not listen to my advice, and there will be a day of regret in the future; The old man will resign from his official position tomorrow and go home to relax, but he wants to see how the situation develops and how Yang Shoufu can turn the tide. ”

Xu Guangzuo flicked his sleeves and left in a hurry without looking back. Yang Tinghe stood quietly for a while, sighed lightly and said to himself, "Why don't I worry? But if others are doing it step by step, how can I provoke for no reason; The emperor is so fond of that person, I don't want to do it again, because the blow to the outer court is unimaginable. And I, Yang Tinghe, am not a foolish person, I have my own plans in my heart, but how can I tell you Xu Guangzuoming? At present, as long as that person does not reach into my outer court to interfere in my affairs, I would rather choose to turn a blind eye, this is not weakness, it is strategy. This is the earnest teaching that my teacher taught me when he left Beijing. ”

Yang Tinghe hesitated for a moment, his eyes changed from confused to firm, he reached out and pulled down a yellow leaf, looked at it in front of him, then crumpled it, threw it aside, shook his head and strode towards the cabinet office.

……

Xu Guangzuo couldn't bear to resign in the end, although his position in the regimental camp was extremely embarrassing, he insisted on not resigning. In the end, under the instruction of Song Nan, Gao Hu Jiao Zhengtai took the lead, and all the princes jointly played, asking Xu Guangzuo to reconsider the candidate for the post of governor of the regiment and battalion in the name of Xu Guangzuo's old age and illness and often unable to perform his duties.

Around this matter, the court held court discussions for several days, and the two sides argued endlessly, and even looked at each other angrily in the court, but everyone knew that Xu Guangzuo's resignation was a foregone conclusion, and a regimental and battalion governor was asked to be removed by all the marquis under his subordinates, how could this governor continue to be in office? In the end, for the last bit of face, Xu Guangzuo decisively chose to resign when he had no hope of staying in office, and Zhengde also pushed the boat along the river, gave praise and comfort, and sent Xu Guangzuo home to retire with kindness.

Xu Guangzuo only took four or five months from the post of governor to the date of resignation, and the position of the governor of the Metropolitan Mansion of the Five Armies before coming has been succeeded by Tan You, the new Ningbo.

And the British Duke Zhang Lun returned to the throne of the governor of the regiment camp again, from the gloomy resignation a few months ago, to the current return with his head held high, Zhang Lun also went around in a circle to return to the original point; However, his circle is obviously much more complete and brilliant than Xu Guangzuo's painting.
