There's no way around it.

Xu Jie has been in the cabinet for many years, and his protégés have long been all over the world.

Not to mention that Zhang Ju is his student, just the governor and the officials of the Southern Capital along the way, there are also many old ones with the Xu family.

In fact, Wang Yongji took the son of Xu Jie, and was able to reach Huating smoothly, which can be regarded as a scholar in this era who is giving Wang Yong face.

Who let Wang Yongji also be a member of the scholars?

If this is replaced by people from the East Factory of the Inner Court, maybe a group of righteous people will suddenly appear and stage a drama recorded in "The Tombstone of Five".

However, the imperial power is great, and Rao is a lot of scholars and doctors who intercede for the Xu family.

But Xu Fan, who knew in advance that he was going to be arrested, was still uneasy.

"Father! Can you figure it out? ”

Especially after hearing that King Yongji of Qincha had brought the soldiers of the flag school to Huating, he couldn't calm down at all, and had to come to Xu Jie again to talk about it.

Xu Jie glanced at him helplessly, knocked his cane on the ground heavily, and said with hatred: "The old man said a long time ago, you have to listen to Jiangling's orders, don't come nonsense, don't come nonsense, don't believe it, do you think you can get what you want by sparing Jiangling?!" Can you be an official, can you exercise power? Now you know, as long as he Zhang Jiangling doesn't want you to be a leader, you won't have a chance to be a leader! ”

"My son is also for the Xu family! There can't be no one in the Xu family! Otherwise, how will the world's corporal clan look at my Xu family, father! ”

Xu Fan cried and replied.

Xu Jie reprimanded: "You don't say such hypocritical things in front of your father!" Where are you for the Xu family, you are for yourself, for you to have a black gauze hat on your head! ”

Saying that, Xu Jie said: "My Xu family doesn't need it, and I don't need Xu Jie!" As long as Jiangling is still there, I, Xu Jie, can sit back and relax, and my Xu family will not end up like the Yan family! But you still have to push him out, thinking that you can do it yourself. But where are you as good as him Jiangling, you are not even as good as Gao Xinzheng! Both of them can make people like Hai Rui who dare to criticize dragon scales be driven by them, can you? Do you think that when others call you a little elder, they really think of themselves as elders? ”

Xu Fan could only admit frankly at this time: "What my father said is that my son is confused." The son didn't expect him Zhang Juzheng to be so powerful, and he actually thought of letting the test method be drafted by Hai Rui, so that the Taoist official originally wanted to use Hai Rui's reputation to oppose the reform, but they were suppressed by Zhang Juzheng using Hai Rui, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, he Zhang Juzheng does not use Hai Rui, and he can make him a sword in his hand as soon as he uses it, and his son really admires it! ”

"Remember, without the protection of Jiangling, Huating can kill our Xu family as a magistrate! How long has Hai Jui's affair been, forgot?! ”

Xu Jie heard Xu Fan say this, so he educated Xu Fan again.

"Yes, the child knew that it was wrong, and the child was also a ghost at the time, thinking that Feng Bao was reliable. But who knew that he would fall so soon. ”

Xu Fan replied.

Xu Jie got up and walked to the front of the case, looked out the window, and said with a sneer: "The twenty-four yamen of the inner court is not the only one. Besides, his opponent is still my student. ”

Xu Fan, who was kneeling on the ground: "But father, Jiangling has not been able to write from him recently, will he really be jealous of our Xu family because of this, and will clean up our Xu family, and even ask for the child's head?" ”

"Now you know you're scared?"

Xu Jie suddenly turned his head, sneered, and asked Xu Fan.

Xu Fan didn't speak, but continued to kneel dejectedly.

"Master, the Chin Cha has arrived."

At this time, the servant of the Xu family hurriedly came in and called outside the door.

"Father!"

Xu Fan couldn't help but look up at Xu Jie again.

Xu Jie said: "You stay first." ”

As he spoke, Xu Jie ordered: "Come on, take off the uncle's robe first, and tie it up with a rope!" ”

"Father!"

Xu Fan was shocked.

But Xu Jie didn't pay attention to it, and only walked out: "Take the old man to change his clothes, and put on the python robe given by the emperor to the old man." ”

About a quarter of an hour later, Xu Jie changed into a python robe and said, "Open the middle door, set up the incense case, and wait for Qincha." ”

Not long after, the middle door of Xu's house, which had not been opened for a long time, opened with a squeak, and the moment the king came in with the banner school soldiers with the holy decree, Xu Jie knelt down with his clansmen: "Old minister Xu Jie asks Your Majesty?" ”

Wang Yongji walked over and stopped in front of Xu Jie, with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty."

Then, with a smile on his face, Wang Yongji stretched out his hand to Xu Jie, and helped him weakly.

is also a scholar class, Wang Yongjizi will not show a sense of superiority as a chaplain to Xu Jie.

"Sir, please."

"All Rise Up"

"Thank you!"

Xu Jie and the others of the Xu family all stood up tremblingly.

Wang Yongji then smiled and said: "Because the Zun Mansion is not as good as other places, Bencha did not dare to enter the Tan Mansion without permission, but with the emperor's order, I can't help but disturb, and I ask the old gentleman to forgive me." ”

Xu Jielian said that he didn't dare, and then invited Wang Yongji into the middle hall to sit down, and personally accompanied the main seat, and after the three rounds of tea, he first asked with a smile: "On the way up, I must have been disturbed a lot, right?" ”

"You can't escape the eyes of the old gentleman."

Wang Yongji replied with a smile, and said: "The old gentleman is famous, and he is blessed with the world, and it is reasonable to ask for mercy, but the old gentleman can rest assured, he did not dare to accept money and things, and only received dozens of private messages." ”

Xu Jie smiled and nodded, and then asked, "Is there a letter from Jiangling?" ”

Wang Yongji said: "No." ”

Xu Jie heard Wang Yongji say this, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said: "The old man has heard of it, but he doesn't know it, this is all caused by the bad things of the house slaves, and the dog doesn't know it, but only thinks that it is a skilled worker recruited from the people, but he never thought that it is a royal weaver, and he does not have the intention of taking the benefits of the country." Please also be sure to explain to Gangneung when you arrive in Beijing on a business trip. ”

Wang Yongji nodded: "Yuanfu naturally understands, so before he left, he specially instructed Bencha to say a few words, so that the lower official could tell the old gentleman, and please rest assured." ”

Then, Xu Jie said: "But please speak up." ”

Wang Yongji said: "What Yuanfu means is that what Brother Shi has done is indeed excessive!" Turning the weavers of the royal dragon robes into their own weavers, to be serious, can be said to be suspected of bad intentions. ”

"But Yuanfu said that he would not believe that the Xu family would be like this, there must be a hidden secret, and Yuanfu only hopes that the Xu family must pay attention to discipline next, so as not to be targeted again;"

"In addition, the old gentleman must also know that the examination law has been promulgated and implemented, so once the Xu family is found out, please take the lead in making up the payment, so as not to become the target of public criticism;"

"Also, after the examination is passed, the official resentment will inevitably boil, and the old gentleman will be asked to dredge it on his behalf, so that the court will know the old gentleman's loyalty to the country;"

"Of course, presumably the old gentleman also knows that after the examination, he will clear the acres of land, and when the time comes, please also ask the old gentleman to warn his children that they should cooperate with the new policy, so that the court can know that the Xu family is loyal, and they can be worry-free."

After Wang Yongji said, he said: "I don't know if the old gentleman has something to convey to Yuanfu?" ”

After a long time, Xu Jiecai sighed: "Uncle, I am a minister!" ”

As he spoke, Xu Jie said: "Then please go up and tell Jiangling, what he wants to do is to do it at ease, if the children of the clan and the old man's protégé are not good, I will bother him to clean the portal for me." ”

When the king heard this, he got up and said, "It is enough to have your old words." ”

Then, Wang Yongji said, "Please take the order." ”

Xu Jie nodded, and said: "Bring that rebel son up, and bring the evil slave who carried the Xu family behind his back to do the heinous crimes!" ”

Not long after, Xu Fan and Xu De, the housekeeper of the Xu family, were tied up by the Xu family, and they both knelt in front of Wang Yongji.

Wang Yongji began to take out the holy decree and read it: "The edict said: Xu Fan, the young secretary of the original Taichang Temple, is suspected of befriending the eunuchs, spying on the secrets of the forbidden court, and interfering in the government ......."
