Chapter Seventy-Four: The Xu Family's Choice

Xu Zengshou said, "It's my brother's meaning. That's what I mean."

Xu Da had four sons, one of whom died young, and the other was a concubine who had no weight. The opinions of Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou are equivalent to the unanimous decision of the Xu family.

Xu Da also didn't expect that before his death, Xu Huizu, who had always shown his closeness to the Nanjing Imperial Court, made a 180-degree turn after his death.

Xu Da's original intention is to maintain the status of the Xu family in this dispute, hoping that after the dust settles, the Xu family will already be the door of the current court. But Xu Huizu didn't think so. From the perspective of the elders, Xu Huizu is a good child.

Loyalty and filial piety are put in front.

When guarding filial piety for Xu Da, Xu Huizu reflected on himself countless times. Reflect on what you've done. In addition, what Zhu Yunwen did was indeed unkind. Coupled with the death of Fang Xiaoru, Xu Huizu felt that he would throw himself into Beijing.

In his opinion, his father has always been dissatisfied with Zhu Yunwen, and it must be that his father knows something. Taizu didn't want to pass on the throne to Zhu Yunwen back then, and Taizu chose Zhu Xiongying. It's just that the wood is already in the boat. For the sake of the stability of the world, my father can't do anything.

That's when I endured it.

In fact, this rumor has always been there.

After all, Zhu Xiongying is a son-in-law. Zhu Yuanzhang set the inheritance of the elder.

It's just that before, Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, and Fang Xiaoru was there, and Fang Xiaoru was supported by the world's corporal doctors. This rumor can be suppressed. As soon as Fang Xiaoru died, Ding Xian took advantage of Fang Xiaoru's death to establish his authority with blood.

Even if Ding Xian has the right to public opinion in the newspaper system, there is still a market for the public opinion of traditional scholars.

Xu Huizu is a loyal and filial son in the traditional sense. Xu Da hopes that Xu Huizu will become a qualified lord of the noble family. However, the country is easy to change, and its nature is difficult to change. Especially people of Xu Huizu's age. It's hard for him to change. His change is nothing more than a shift from loyalty to Nanjing to allegiance to Beijing.

If Xu Da had a spirit in the sky, he might be speechless.

It's just that my son can't help my father. You can't live it, let alone die. In fact, the biggest factor in Xu Huizu's transformation was his dissatisfaction with Xu Da's death and his regret for his father.

Only by being loyal to Beijing can we be loyal and filial to each other. It is not only loyal to the Zhu family, loyal to the imperial court, but also angry for Xu Da. Show your filial piety.

Li Jinglong said to the people around him, "Go and invite Mr. Yao."

Soon Yao Guangxiao came over.

Yao Guangxiao saw Xu Zengshou and was suddenly stunned. He naturally knew Xu Zengshou. After all, I have been mixed in Nanjing for so many years. Even He Xi can be regarded as in the noble circle. Some of the contacts are also normal. He first looked at Li Jinglong, and then calmed down.

He felt that Li Jinglong had not betrayed himself. Even if it's selling yourself. is also sold to the Xu family, and there is still room for turnaround.

He immediately calmed down. said, "I've seen Fourth Master Xu."

Xu Zengshou immediately returned the salute and said, "I have met Mr. Yao, I will ask Brother He how he is on behalf of my brother."

As soon as Yao Guangxiao heard this, he immediately understood that the Xu family had come to surrender. Yao Guangxiao's heart was shocked, and he naturally understood the weight of the Xu family. said: "Fourth Master Xu, everything is fine in Beijing, and Wei Guogong is also very sad when he drives west. Wei Guogong was the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. He is also the elder he respects the most. There is no way to come to the door to mourn, and it is also his misfortune, and I also invite Fourth Master Xu, and the eldest son of Xu, to mourn and change."

What Yao Guangxiao said was official. But sometimes official words are also very useful. For example, now, Yao Guangxiao is really not sure, what does the other party mean? There are also several levels of Toucheng. This time, show favor and leave the way back. Or is it willing to break with Nanjing and throw itself into Beijing in an all-round way.

Yao Guangxiao's remarks show that Beijing attaches great importance to the Wei State Mansion. But the specifics are not said at all.

Xu Zengshou naturally knows these words very well, and it stands to reason that Xu Zengshou should talk to Yao Guangxiao about some soup noodles. Approaching the theme little by little, testing each other's bottom line and intentions, and finally coming up with a price.

Only in this way can you get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost.

But

, Xu Zengshou didn't want to do it anymore. In other words, Xu Zengshou wants more.

Xu Zengshou said, "Some of the things left by my father here, Mr. Yao, please take a look."

Yao Guangxiao took it with both hands, looked at it, and was overjoyed.

It's nothing else, it's Xu Da's manuscript.

In the last period of time, Xu Da had actually been studying He Xi's new tactics. This is his pleasure, he doesn't feel hard, he puts his thoughts and thoughts into his pen. Record them one by one. But this may be Xu Da's negligence one day.

In the middle of his notes, he wrote something else, not about the edict. He felt that the fact that Zhu Yunwen did not have an edict was very problematic. Of course, there is no detailed expansion to write. Just nodded twice, "Really? What is it? Who is Zhao Gao, who is Li Si."

Xu Da estimated that he had forgotten.

After all, many of his ideas did not fall on paper.

But whether he forgot it or not.

This sentence carries weight.

It is useless for ordinary people to say anything excessive. But Xu Da is different. He's no ordinary man. The words he left behind, even if they were only ambiguous, were very important.

If the Xu family comes up with these words, they will endorse ***. It is a huge blow to the legitimacy of Zhu Yunwen's accession to the throne.

Even the orthodoxy of Nanking will be shaken.

Of course, if this is done, the Xu family will not have a good end.

This is the Xu family's vote for Beijing.

After all, everyone knows the allusion of Zhao Gaolisi.

That is, in Xu Da's view, Zhu Xiongying is the Fusu of the generals in the north, and Zhu Yunwen is Hu Hai.

Yao Guangxiao said, "I will definitely tell my family about this matter. Please rest assured. From now on, the Xu family will be their own people."

Xu Zengshou said, "Please Mr. Yao tell Brother He that if he needs it, my Xu family can do everything at any time, including this and my family will go to Beijing immediately."

Xu Huizu is very atmospheric.

There is a bit of Xu Da's style. Since he decided to defect to Beijing, he made the most decisive decision. That is to show Beijing all the loyalty of the Xu family, including giving up all the family property in Nanjing, and even abandoning the lives of some of the Xu family's children.

After all, he understands very well that the end of the wallgrass will not be good.

Either you don't do it, or you have to do it thoroughly.

Of course, it's one thing to get to the point, and the attitude must be present.

Yao Guangxiao understood He Xi's thoughts very well, so he would not let the Xu family defect to Beijing. The defection of the Xu family to Beijing will not do Beijing much good. On the whole, there is not much benefit, at most there is no more than one general. Xu Huizu may have the ability to lead all the way.

Even Yao Guangxiao did not think of letting the Xu family exert influence and provide intelligence to the front line.

It's useless at first.

After all, it is very troublesome to transmit information these days.

It is difficult for information to be delivered in a timely manner. Even if there is intelligence, it is of little use.

Second, in Yao Guangxiao's view, the value of the Xu family is not here.

Yao Guangxiao secretly said in his heart: "I originally thought that Li Jinglong's strength was too thin. In many things, you can't do trading. Now that we have the Wei Mansion, many things are much easier."

Yao Guangxiao said, "Why did the fourth master say this? The court will definitely not be difficult for the strong. If the fourth master wants to do things for the imperial court. So now there's one thing."

Xu Zengshou said, "What's the matter?"

Yao Guangxiao took out a map from his cuff and put it on the table.

Xu Zengshou originally thought it was a map of that military location, but after taking a closer look, he frowned and said, "Isn't this the map of Jiangning Town?"

Yao Guangxiao said, "No, it's Jiangning District."

As soon as the three words of Jiangning District came out, Xu Zengshou and Li Jinglong couldn't help but glance at each other.

The concept of Jiangning District was just obtained from Ding Xian. Although, they all know what Ding Xian is preparing. But I didn't know until today that I knew exactly where.

And they just knew at the same time. As a result, Li Jinglong also knew.

The news is a little too fast.

This makes them a little mixed.

I am glad that Beijing is strong. It means that they have chosen the right one. He is also concerned about Beijing's strength. Perhaps, their future life will not be too easy.

It's also a happy annoyance.
