The emperor's official appointment letter was soon issued, and Chu Xiu's position was unshakable.

And the rumors above the court have gradually become clear.

All the ministers saw clearly that this was the emperor who was going to attack Ji Chunshen, and Chu Xiu was the knife.

The ministers said one after another.

"It seems that the emperor is ready to make a move, specially cultivating an enemy for Ji Chunshen, and then raising this enemy to a high position."

"But then again, Ji Chunshen is not a vegetarian, the Ji family is in the rivers and lakes, has worked hard for many years, has deep roots, Chu Xiu is an empty commander, even if he is appointed by the emperor, it is estimated that it is not so easy to grasp power."

"It looks like the next battle will be very exciting!"

"Let's choose to wait and see, before the situation is completely clear, let's not choose sides."

"This is a decisive battle against the life of the family, one wrong step, it is very likely to end up with a broken body!"

In high positions, these ministers could easily feel the turmoil of the court, and the emperor also felt the suffocating atmosphere above the court.

But he doesn't care, as the supreme ruler, weakening the authority of his subordinates and eradicating the family is what he should do.

The only thing he was worried about now was that Chu Xiu might be inexperienced.

After all, Chu Xiu was promoted by the line of fire. Although the combat ability is sufficient and the loyalty is impeccable, it is true that some experience is lacking in power struggles.

Before taking office, the emperor was still ready to call Chu Xiu over and have a deep talk, which could be regarded as teaching Chu Xiu some experience, so as not to be killed by others.

The emperor specially called Chu Xiu over and asked with a smile.

"Chu Xiu, the turbulence above the court, do you understand?"

Chu Xiu understood a little bit, but if he really understood it, it was still far from it.

However, in the face of the emperor, Chu Xiu did not hide it, but told the truth.

"Back to Your Majesty, above the temple, there are strange clouds, I have just arrived, and some things are really not real enough."

"As a courtier, the minister should not be hungry for more, but for the sake of His Majesty's grand cause, the minister can only beg for His Majesty's guidance."

Chu Xiu's honesty and loyalty were exactly what the emperor valued most.

Chu Xiu's answer didn't have the slightest problem, just ask if you don't understand, it is indeed the best attitude.

The Emperor said with a smile.

"Chu Xiu, I am very pleased that you can have such an attitude."

"I brought you here today just to talk to you about this."

"You should be very clear about the purpose of my promotion of you."

Chu Xiu nodded silently, this is almost universally known, how could Chu Xiu not know?

"Chen naturally understands that my goal is to deal with Ji Chunshen, or rather, to deal with the Ji family and other places entrenched in Jianjiang Mansion!"

The emperor said with satisfaction.

"You're right."

"But do you know what to do next?"

"These big families, entrenched in the local area for so many years, can be described as a tree with deep roots, you are new to the city, although I have given you supreme rights, but you have to remember that those people are the head of the snake after all, you need to pay attention to strategies and methods when dealing with them, and you must not blindly do it."

"Remember, your mission is to break down their foundations, not to fight them."

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment, and soon understood what His Majesty the Emperor meant, and he nodded with a deep face.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured, I know what I should do."

Chu Xiu was talented and intelligent, and the emperor trusted him very much, so he didn't say anything more, and after a few more words, he asked Chu Xiu to prepare to go to the post as soon as possible.

After Chu Xiu left the palace, he was thinking about what His Majesty the Emperor said all the way.

"Whew!"

"I must be calm and not impulsive."

"I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me, my next wrong step may leave me dead without a place to bury!"

"Alas! I can only take one step at a time. ”

After Chu Xiu returned to his residence, he immediately took Qin Siyong, packed his luggage, and prepared to set off directly.

According to the etiquette and rules of the imperial court, Chu Xiu, a feudal official, should now have guards, honor guards and other pomp.

But Chu Xiu considered that his current identity was special, if he really made too much movement, it would definitely be unfavorable to Chu Xiu.

Therefore, Chu Xiu rejected these things all together. With only Qin Siyong and a few people he trusted, he traveled lightly and rushed to Jianjiang Mansion.

Along the way, unlike the excitement of Qin Siyong and the others, Chu Xiu has been thinking about how to deal with it next.

In order to find a breakthrough as soon as possible, Chu Xiu ordered to find all the official information of the entire Jianjiang Mansion, and prepared to take a look at it slowly on the road.

"I don't believe that you people are really monolithic."

"I'm sure I'll find a flaw in you!"

Chu Xiu silently checked the information of these people along the way, while thinking silently.

Soon he discovered that although the Jianjiang Mansion under the command of Ji Chunshen seemed to be horizontal on the surface, everyone obeyed Ji Chunshen's command.

But they actually have a very clear internal hierarchy.

Officials from a large family must be in a high position.

And for those ordinary scholars, or civilian officials with no background, they can only occupy the middle and lower ranks.

Their situation is very similar to Qin Siyong, that is, because they have no background, they can't get the opportunity to be promoted.

After understanding this, Chu Xiu's heart gradually bottomed up, and he was no longer as clueless as before.

And Feng Zicai and the others have been waiting for Chu Xiu for a long time, they want to give Chu Xiu a dismount, and the first step is to do some tricks in Chu Xiu's line.

The place of the deposed envoy Xingyuan has been abandoned for a long time, because Ji Chunshen and the others' control of the Jianjiang Mansion is too terrifying.

The emperor had even reached a tacit agreement with Ji Chunshen and others before, and he would not appoint one to the Jianjiang Mansion. hand, adopt the strategy of Jianjiang people to govern Jianjiang, so this place has been uninhabited for a long time.

Normally, Chu Xiu was about to arrive, and they needed to clean up the room as soon as possible for Chu Xiu to live and work.

At this time, Feng Zicai directly stopped the official in charge and said indifferently.

"I said it, I'll give Chu Xiu a dismount!"

"And now isn't the best chance?"

"Don't move anything from now on, don't even wipe the dust."

"I just want to tell Chu Xiu plainly that the entire Jianjiang Mansion is up to us."

The relevant officials were all Feng Zicai's absolute confidants, and they were definitely willing to obey orders, so they did not make any preparations for Chu Xiu's arrival, and they did not even clean up Chu Xiu's residence.

Prepare to meet Chu Xiu in the midst of ruins.
