Chapter 7 Xu Zengshou's legacy

Xu Jingchang looked up at the moon, but his heart was full of joy.

It's not like he's a big official, just a political envoy, it's not a problem. What really gratified him was that more than ten years of experience in the workplace were finally useful. Even if the other party is Yao Guangxiao, a demon monk, he has also tested his bottom limit.

Zhu Di is wise and martial, and his martial arts are outstanding, with a corner of the land, he overturned Jianwen, and it is difficult to succeed, and he is definitely a ruthless man among the ruthless.

But I'm sorry, Zhu Di's team is really bad, and there are only people around him who can barely be regarded as a minister, only Yao Guangxiao, a strange monk with a strange background.

The rest are a group of martial artists who are not top-notch, these people are okay with Jianwen's rookie, and if they want to govern this huge Ming Dynasty, they will not be able to catch it.

Yao Guangxiao wanted to keep Fang Xiaoru's life in order to buy the ministers of the world, but unfortunately Zhu Di didn't understand it, and in a fit of anger, he slaughtered Fang Xiaoru.

This incident made Yao Guangxiao disheartened, and he wanted to take refuge in the temple, so he retired.

But the appearance of Xu Jingchang made the old monk see a hope.

The grandson of Xu Da, the nephew of Empress Xu, the hero of the founding of the country, likes to read, and has quick thinking.

Such a person, when he enters the court, whether it is the old department of the Huaixi nobles or the Wenchen of the Manchu Dynasty, they will gather around him, and naturally a force will be formed.

As long as it is operated properly, this force will definitely be able to compete with Jing Nanxun led by Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and others.

As the Son of Heaven, if you want to sit firmly in the middle position, you must form a subtle balance in the court, and you can't dominate the family.

Just like now, Jing Nan Xungui's momentum is like a rainbow, and Zhu Gaoxu thought of coercing Xungui and forcing Zhu Di to canonize him as the crown prince.

If Zhu Gaoxu is allowed to do it, then who has the final say in this world?

Sitting on the dragon chair, but without absolute authority, you can't say one or the other, what kind of heaven is that?

Xu Jingchang applied the office power model a little, and found that it was also applicable to the current Ming Dynasty, and a department manager was parachuted down, in order to sit firmly, the manager needed to promote new people, and also needed to envelop a group of old people to maintain the operation of the department, which is probably what it means.

Now that he has seen through Yao Guangxiao's hole cards, Xu Jingchang is even more calm.

"Young Master, look, the moonlight is shining, the shadows of the trees are swaying, I am here to admire the moon, and I can spend a happy night. If I indulge in mundane affairs, intrigue with courtiers, think of something to suppress the nouveau riche, work hard, and be anxious, it will also be a night. It's all about living the same life, why can't I choose to be happy and relaxed? ”

Yao Guangxiao gritted his teeth angrily, "Young Marquis, the old man is not mistaken, you are only fifteen years old, how can you get it so easily at your age?" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Young Master, Emperor Wei Wu has a saying, Lao Ji is a long way, and his ambition is thousands of miles. You have already assisted Your Majesty to succeed, but there is still a gap between you and the famous ministers of the ages, and it is best for you to continue to assist Your Majesty, and you will die with all your might, and then the young master can compete with Zhuge Wuhou. I thought that with the wisdom of the young master, it would not be difficult to suppress the upstarts and balance the situation at all, so why should you be embarrassed to be born later? ”

Yao Guangxiao only felt that his head was buzzing, and it was not so difficult to deal with Zhu Di at the beginning! This bastard doesn't eat oil and salt, and his stomach is crooked, he even wants to go to the cemetery to dig Xu Zengshou out and ask him how he gave birth to this thing?

However, Yao Guangxiao is Yao Guangxiao in the end, and he still kept calm, "Young Marquis, the old man is just a monk, not literate or martial, without any foundation, thanks to His Majesty's favor, I am another handful of age, and I am just a lonely minister when I enter the court." How to suppress the upstarts and balance the situation? In this way, as long as the young marquis agrees to enter the court, and the old man is willing to help, His Majesty's first ascension to the throne is a good opportunity to show his skills, why waste time? ”

When the old monk said this, it was a showdown, I will support you, and you will charge in front.

Zhu Dapang didn't get this kind of promise, otherwise, he wouldn't have been forced to be embarrassed by Zhu Laoer.

Xu Jingchang saw that Yao Guangxiao had made a condition, so he also said: "Young Master, you see that is the case, now the Xu family is left with me, my father has posthumously presented the Marquis of Wuyang, and I still plan to inherit the title, you said that if you take over the position of the political envoy, wouldn't you give up the hereditary title?" I feel a bit of a loss, and I hope the young master will understand. ”

Yao Guangxiao suddenly laughed, leaning back and forth with a smile, "Young Marquis, it turns out that you also have something to ask for, and the old man still thinks that you just want to fish and admire the moon?" ”

Xu Jingchang said unceremoniously: "Fishing needs fish ponds, fishing rods, and bait, which are all very expensive, and you also have to be in the mood to admire the moon, you have no power or power, you can't even eat enough, and everything looks like steamed buns, where is the mood to enjoy the moon?" ”

Yao Guangxiao finally nodded, "You're right, if Lao Wei didn't have His Majesty's favor, he wouldn't be able to live in the temple and live in peace...... In this way, His Majesty told Lao Wei that he wanted to crown me as the Duke of Rongguo, according to Lao Gao's original intention, he didn't want it. Now it seems that there is only one way to take it, what does the young marquis think? ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, Yao Guangxiao took over Rong Guogong, and he was not so conspicuous in the court, at least when attacking himself, he had to think about this unfathomable Young Master Yao.

The official title and title blossomed twice.

That's not bad.

But it's not enough.

"By the way, young master, my eldest uncle is still in prison, his crime has not yet been decided, I don't know if he lives or dies, I am still a relative of Qin, I am afraid that my background is not clean, and it is not good to be an official."

Yao Guangxiao snorted angrily: "Okay, Lao Wei told Your Majesty, don't your Xu family have a gold medal for avoiding death!" Let His Majesty pardon Xu Huizu's crimes, punish him to go to the grave of King Zhongshan, watch the spirits of his father and brothers, and recite scriptures and repent every day, what do you think? ”

Xu Jingchang is in a good mood, with Xu Huizu's actions, as long as he doesn't die, he can already be regarded as unlucky. I can also give an explanation, and I won't be accused of ineffective rescue.

"In that case, then thank you young master, but ...... There is one more thing in late life. ”

Yao Guangxiao snorted: "Speak! ”

"It's just that I just lost my father in my later life, and according to reason, I need to keep filial piety for three years, but considering that the court is troublesome, I can only keep it for a hundred days, with full filial piety, and I hope the young master will understand."

"You put ...... Dream! Yao Guangxiao was really angry, "You don't know the etiquette regulations of the court?" In my Ming Dynasty, civil officials have been filial piety for three years, and the thunder can't move, but you are a military general's family, you don't need to guard it for three years, and you don't need to use it for a day. ”

Yao Guangxiao is really not wrong, just imagine, a certain general is fighting, suddenly his parents died, he had to return to his hometown to guard filial piety for three years, change the commander in battle, and he was defeated, delaying the major military affairs, so how should it be calculated?

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, military generals did not need to be filial piety.

"Young Master Yao, having said that, after I was transferred to the general political envoy, I will be a civil official, and I still have to abide by the rules, otherwise my colleagues will poke my backbone." Xu Jingchang said with words.

Yao Guangxiao looked at Xu Jingchang and didn't say anything, just raised his slap and slapped it hard at the chess box of golden silk nanmu, and his anger fell on this poor wooden box.

The old monk slowly closed his palm, Xu Jingchang flashed his eyes, and saw a few broken lines on the box, which was shocking.

Oh my God, does this monk still have kung fu?

Xu Jingchang subconsciously touched his head, "That young master, when will you report later?" ”

Yao Guangxiao stood up slowly, "I'll go to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow, and then meet Your Majesty." ”

Xu Jingchang obediently agreed, not daring to slack off at all.

Yao Guangxiao came out of Xu's mansion at this time, walked outside, stood under the moon, the old monk smiled bitterly, and he had not moved his Zen heart for decades, so he was stunned to let this kid break.

A person who relies on his lips to move the monarch and uses his fists instead, he has already lost.

"Sin, sin!"

……

The next day, Xu Jingchang got up early, he had the identity of a thousand households in brocade clothes, or the kind given by Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and he didn't work with a light collar.

Xu Jingchang asked Xu Yi to turn out his clothes, put them on himself, and said: "You go to build a shed in front of your grandfather's grave, prepare a bed and a stove, and your uncle will use it when you turn around." ”

Xu Yi was shocked, and after a while, old tears flowed.

"Thank you, Childe, Childe has a heart."

Xu Jingchang didn't say anything, so he left the house directly and went to the ministry.

Not to mention, Xu Jingchang just arrived at the ministry, and Shang Shujian Yi was waiting here.

"Young Marquis, I will call you Xu Tongzheng in the future."

Xu Jingchang hurriedly bowed down and said, "Tianguan is above, and I will rely on you to take care of it in the future." ”

Jian Yi smiled kindly, he invited Xu Jingchang into the hall of the Ministry of Officials, and then sat down, Jian Yi got straight to the point and said: "I was originally just a servant of the Ministry of Officials, but I was favored by the Son of Heaven and promoted to Shangshu, ranking first among the hundred officials. ”

Xu Jingchang was stunned, "Who is this person?" ”

"It's Lingzun Wuyang Hou!" Jian Yi sighed: "Ling Zun once drew up a list for His Majesty, that is, after entering Beijing, the courtiers who can be promoted and reused, among which I am ranked first, and Xia Yuanji, the left attendant of the household department, is ranked second, and we are all Ling Zun's disciples." ”
