Xu Song said: "A while ago, there was news that Xie Daozhi and Li Xiyan, the current secretary of the ministry, were going to enter the cabinet. ”

Xu He nodded, this matter was spread widely, and he had indeed heard of it.

It is said that this is the first assistant Qin Yan in order to squeeze out the second assistant Xia Yangqiu in the cabinet, so he was recruited into the cabinet.

Li Xiyan, the secretary of the ministry, is Qin Yan's person, but this person is shrewd and capable, and his call to enter the cabinet has always been very high.

And Xie Daozhi, the secretary of Dali Temple, got along quite happily with several cabinet ministers, and was a well-known person in the court who was not a party.

Qin Yan led the two of them into the cabinet, obviously Li Xiyan was the goal, and Xie Daozhi was at most a partner.

Now it seems that Li Xiyan's entry into the cabinet is a sure thing.

Xu Song said: "I guess, this should be the meaning of Shoufu's side, after all, Li Xiyan wants to enter the cabinet, and he pushes me to the position of heavenly official, obviously because he thinks that when I was an official, I was a neighbor with his family, and I have been exchanging letters for so many years......"

Xu He nodded, strictly speaking, Xu Song is not on the side of the big guy, and the relationship with Qin Yan is at most a neighbor, and in the same year, Xu Song is not a member of the Qin Party.

But if Li Xiyan enters the cabinet, then Xu Song, who is not very close to the Qin Party, will take his place, which is an acceptable result for everyone.

"However, I estimate that the imperial court is going to deal with Lu Yun!" Xu Song's words made Xu He stunned again.

"Uncle, how did you guess?"

After asking this sentence, Xu He regretted it, who is Xu Song?

Don't look at him as a little old man now, but at the age of forty, he is a fierce man who dares to lead troops to personally suppress bandits.

How did Xu Yong get lame?

It was in order to protect Xu Song that he was cut off by Huguang's thieves to become what he is today.

Moreover, Xu Song was not only in Huguang, but also in the post of governor of Zhili before serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he was proficient in suppressing bandits and preparing prisoners, and was a well-known soldier in the imperial court.

"If Lu Butang falls, will the imperial court appoint an uncle to clean up this mess in the southeast?" Xu He shook his head when he thought of this, "Impossible, if this is the case, the secretary of the military department is a good position, and he will not be made to serve as the heavenly official of the ministry!" ”

Xu Song's next explanation can be regarded as solving Xu He's confusion: "I guess Qin Shoufu wants to use Li Xiyan to squeeze out Xia Yangqiu, and after driving Xia Yangqiu out of the imperial court, he will pull me into the cabinet, mainly as a military counselor." ”

"Enter the cabinet!" Brother Xu was shocked, although the Xu family is also a family of eunuchs, there has not been a single cabinet minister!

Suddenly, Xu He thought of another question: "Uncle, I remember that Sanfu Wu Xingbang is from Xinghua County, Yangzhou Prefecture, if the ultimate goal of Shoufu is to lead you into the cabinet, then what should Wu Xingbang do?" ”

According to the usual case, there must be no township party in the cabinet, and Qin Yan will not let Xu Song and Wu Xingbang unite and squeeze him out.

Xu Song nodded: "So for the time being, the position he gave me is the secretary of the ministry, Xia Yangqiu is just the first step for him to reorganize the cabinet, obviously, he also has ideas about Wu Xingbang." ”

Xu He was puzzled: "Uncle, these are your guesses!" Maybe they just want you to stay in the ministry? ”

Xu Song smiled and said, "It's also possible, who can say for sure?" I don't know what Shousuke-sama is thinking, these are all written and analyzed by your aunt's brother! ”

"Zhang Shiyun, the word Conglong, is the west seat of Sanfu Wu Xingbang's family!"

Xu He suddenly remembered what Brother Sao said to him that day.

No, no, no, Xu He thought a little bit of a headache: "I want to do it!" ”

Qin Yan wanted his uncle to be the secretary of the ministry, the purpose was to let him enter the cabinet and squeeze out Xia Yangqiu and Wu Xingbang.

Wu Xingbang is also the uncle's township party, and the uncle's brother-in-law is in Wu Xingbang's house.

Wu Xingbang wrote to tell the uncle that Shoufu wanted him to enter the cabinet and squeeze himself out.

……

So since they all know the meaning of Shoufu Qin Yan, why did Wu Xingbang tell the uncle about it?

Didn't Qin Yan know that Uncle and Wu Xingbang were township parties? The two have a great relationship? This is obviously impossible.

Groove ...... The more you think about it, the more complicated it becomes.

The brain is going to blow up.

Suddenly, Xu He seemed to understand the thoughts of these big people.

Qin Yan is gambling on human nature, he is betting that Xu Song will squeeze out the township party Wu Xingbang for the position of the minister.

Wu Xingbang is also gambling on human nature, he is betting that Xu Song will look at the position of the township party, don't recover, or in other words, don't enter the cabinet if he recovers!

What's more, the big guys are really wilted and wilted, and all the ideas they come up with are impotents.

In the final analysis, it depends on what Xu Song thinks.

Xu He told Xu Song what he had just thought.

After Xu Song listened, his face showed a teachable look, he didn't directly tell Xu He what he thought, but asked again: "What do you think is the purpose of the prince's trip!" ”

Xu He's eyes lit up, he had already heard that Xia Yangqiu was a princeling, and it was impossible for the prince not to know Qin Yan's purpose for reviving Xu Song.

So, in other words, there is a gap between the prince and Xia Yangqiu, at least, the prince is not optimistic that Xia Yangqiu can fight Qin Yan.

He made a special detour to Hailing on this trip, but he actually placed a bet in advance.

He is betting that Xu Song will be restored together, and after entering the cabinet, can he replace Xia Yangqiu and move closer to his side, even if Xu Song does not enter the cabinet, the position of the secretary is also the most important position among the six departments, and if he masters the ministry, he controls the appointment and dismissal of officials.

"He must have come to find Uncle to place a bet, and he has to say hello to you!" Xu He smiled!

Xu Song nodded, and laughed along, His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you say?

A little smart, but not much.

Xu Song said: "Do you want to know how I answered the prince?" ”

Xu He looked at the smile in Xu Song's eyes, and suddenly realized something, he smiled and said to Xu Song: "I guess the uncle must have refused to rise in person!" ”

Xu Song's eyes showed a look of appreciation, and he praised in his mouth: "He'er is really a resourceful person, come, tell me why I refused!" ”

Xu He said: "The situation is unknown, Xia Yangqiu is still among the ministers, and he rashly agreed, in case Lord Fu turns his gun and aims at our Xu family, the gains outweigh the losses!" ”

Xu Song nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Xu He said: "Sanfu, it's not good for us to show our attitude too early, but in order not to make him jealous, it's better to refuse this matter first!" ”

The smile on Xu Song's face was even worse.

"Another point, I heard Uncle Yong say that the prince brought a lot of people to protect his safety that night, and if he couldn't keep it, there were brocade guards or the eyes and ears of the palace, and expressing his position in front of the prince would make the palace feel that we were ambiguous with the prince, which was a taboo for people and ministers!"

Xu Song "exhaled", looked at Xu He with complicated eyes and said, "If you are not a child of the Xu family, I am really a little afraid of you, a wise and almost demonic guy!" ”

Xu He laughed and said, "Uncle, in this way, you are ready to recover, but you are not ready to recover now, right!" ”

Xu Song also smiled: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you!" ”

"That's right!" Xu Song suddenly remembered something at this time, and asked Xu He: "This time I called you back because someone came to the mansion to see you, how did you and the Xue family meet?" ”

The Xue family, the only Xu family Xu He knew was Xue Yongzhi of the Shanyang Marquis Mansion, and Xu He told Xu Song about the hairpin banquet that day and the section of the Qinhuai River.

Xu Song nodded: "Xue Yongzhi came with the prince, he didn't go to Xiaoling with the prince, but stayed in Hailing, saying that he wanted someone to go to Yangzhou to invite you back, and now they live in the pavilion, you can go and see you later!" ”

"Yes!" Xu He bowed and said goodbye.

Before leaving, Xu Song said: "Those of us who study the imperial examination, don't get too close to the Xunqi clan, it will make some people misunderstand!" ”

Xu Song's words were meaningful, Xu He knew that he was doing it for his own good, so he nodded, please retire!
