Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wu Shilai really did what he said.

    Today, after attending the meeting at the government office, he didn¡¯t even return to his official office, so he changed into casual clothes and took a sedan to an inconspicuous mansion on West Chang¡¯an Street, adjacent to Xiyuan.

    There is a plaque of "Xu Mansion" hanging on the lintel of the house on the fourth side of the house. There are four royal guards wearing red cotton armor guarding the door. It is the house of Xu Jie, the chief minister of the cabinet.

    Wu Shilai was a frequent visitor to the house. After getting off the sedan chair, he went directly to the house without asking for permission.

    At this time, Mr. Xu Ge had already gone to the cabinet, but his eldest son Xu Fan was at home.

    Wu Shilai came to see Xu Fan.

    Xu Fan was only forty years old. He was tall and handsome, but his eye sockets were slightly deep and his nose was slightly aquiline.

    He is the eldest son of Xu Jie. His mother died when he was two years old, and his father was demoted to Yanping, Fujian Province for disobeying the chief minister Zhang Cong.  Although he grew up in loneliness, he was strong-willed, smart and eager to learn. He loved reading and was especially familiar with the allusions of his dynasty. Therefore, in the cabinet, Xu Jie's secret revelations and letters of answers must be used by anyone who has anything to do with the great plans of the country.  Together with Xu Fan.

    Therefore, after Yan Shifan's defeat, the title of "Xiaoge Lao" seemed to fall on his head.

    Nowadays, Xu Fan has the idle post of Taichang Qing, a third-rank official, and spends most of his time in the cabinet with his father as an adviser.

    However, during this period of time a year ago, there were many guests in the house and there were many chores to deal with, so Xu Fan stayed at home.

    At this time, Xu Fan was checking Xu Yuanchun's homework. He had high hopes for his son, hoping that he could make up for his regret of not going to school and continue the Xu family's tradition of wearing hairpins for generations.

    "It's just that this guy has been in a low mood since he came back from Miaofeng Mountain, and the articles he wrote were also ridiculous, which made him furious.

    I was so angry that I gave the unlucky child a few boards.

    When he heard that Wu Shilai was coming, Xu Fan let his son go and angrily went to the study to meet him.

    When his father went out, Xu Yuanchun rubbed his swollen palms and thought silently, I wonder if the county owner¡¯s sister¡¯s injury is getting better?

    ??~~

    Entering the study room, Xu Fan had already regained his composure, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother, I came just in time, let's talk about it."

    "Hey, I have something to do today and I am not in the mood." Wu Shilai waved his hand.

    "My father always praises my senior brother for being fearless in the face of danger and being able to be entrusted with important tasks. What makes you so worried?"

    Xu Fan and he sat on the imperial chair by the wall. They were from the south, and they were not used to getting on the kang when they came to the north.

    "Hey, that's what happened"

    Wu Shilai told Xu Fan exactly what happened yesterday.

    "What?!" When Xu Fan heard this, he couldn't help but change his color and said:

    "Is Cao Sanyang a young boy who has just become a Jinshi? Don't you know that Shuntian Prefecture Yin means 'stable'? Why did you waste your time and provoke three hundred people to come and watch the government office?"

    Wu Shilai said to himself that he was indeed the mastermind of the Xu Party. He really knew how to use words. The word "onlookers" was used very well.

    On the surface, he wanted to say something fair for his boss: "Who knew that a small adjutant could have so much power? Not only could he attract two to three hundred adjutants, but even the eldest princess would protect him?"

    "There are so many unexpected things in this world, and the boat can even capsize in the gutter!" Xu Fan slapped the table angrily:

    ¡°I think he¡¯s an idiot. He¡¯s lost his mind because of his time as an official. He thinks that just because he¡¯s a dignified Shuntian Prefecture Yin and a third-grade official, he can cover everything, right?¡±

    "When you are an official, isn't it better to have one less thing than one more thing, and to have nothing to do than one less thing?" Xu Fan felt so resentful that he couldn't get angry for a while.  "He shouldn't have cared about this matter from the beginning!"

    "He said that this matter involves too many things, including" Wu Shilai swallowed and whispered: "Third Master."

    "Xu Ying?" Xu Fan was stunned, and his anger turned into embarrassing annoyance.

    "I repeatedly told him that he should do business properly and would rather let the middlemen make a profit than deal directly with maritime merchants."

    "Old Xiao Ge, this is what he said. The third master is still young after all. I don't know that some money cannot be earned." Wu Shilai said with deep understanding: "Those people are eager to drag him into the water, promising huge profits."  , Touted and praised, it will be difficult for the third master to resist."

    "He is just driven by selfish desires!" Xu Fan snorted coldly: "I have never communicated this matter to me before, so it can be seen that he is planning his own business."

    "This is all human nature" What else could Wu Shilai say?

    After Xu Fan calmed down and thought for a moment, he ordered in a deep voice:

    ¡°First of all, you go back and ask Cao Sanyang to warn those people.Within twelve hours, no one must be left behind, and everyone must evacuate the city of Beijing.  "

    Wu Shilai nodded in agreement.  Within the Xu Party, Xu Fan's words represent Xu Ge's will.

    Then Xu Fan said with a solemn expression: "Tonight I will advise my father to order Shuntian Prefecture to carry out a major clean-up of the public security in the capital before the year, and cooperate with the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to expel all homeless people in the city, and search inns, temples, brothels, and guild halls  Wait for the filth and evil to hide in the place, catch and punish the traitors who are wandering around the capital, and let the capital be clean and tidy to welcome His Majesty, the first Spring Festival after ascending to the throne!"

    "I understand." Wu Shilai was frightened when he heard this. In fact, there was no need to go to war to expel the merchants who had moved to the capital.

    "Old Xiaoge is making such a fuss out of a molehill, just to show Emperor Longqing."  So that His Majesty can believe that the Xu family and the Haishang Group are not the same

    ¡°At the same time, we also want to teach those guys in the southeast a lesson, so that they don¡¯t lose their minds and extend their claws to the capital.

    The emperor has been quiet and silent all day long. Do you really think that the Bodhisattva he made out of clay is useless?

    In addition, there is another reason that is not commonplace to outsiders.

    It¡¯s just that the treasury is really out of money, and the food in Taicang has to be kept to tide over the spring famine next year.

    How can you still have the energy to feed so many local refugees for nothing?

    ??~~

    In the study room.

    Xu Fan took a sip of tea to calm down, and then said coldly:

    "I will suggest to my father tonight that we arrange for Cao Sanyang to be impeached for his dishonest behavior, his lack of integrity in his official duties, and his unfitness to continue serving as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. I will ask him to be released."

    "Ah, it's not serious, is it?" Wu Shilai finally couldn't help but ask: "Fortunately, last night, it was handled in time and no trouble was caused. Do you really have to be so strict?"

    "Brother, it's not that I want to be harsh." Xu Fan sighed and said: "The Shuntian Mansion Yamen is right at the root of the imperial city, and even the slightest disturbance cannot escape His Majesty's eyes and ears. If we don't take action ourselves first, we will be even more passive when His Majesty takes action.  .¡±

    "Your Majesty, you don't necessarily have that in mind, right?" Wu Shilai's face turned pale.

    "I hope so." Xu Fan looked up at the roof and said, "But you have to plan for the worst in everything, and you can't let His Majesty think about it indefinitely, so I have to feel sorry for Mr. Cao."

    "There are also those refugees. If they want to complain, just blame the adults" After Xu Fan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and murmured:

    "Your Majesty sent Hai Rui southward, which made me feel a little uneasy"

    "Hai Rui? Master, can you be kind to him?" Wu Shilai opened his mouth wide. He felt that he didn't have enough brain power today.

    "My father thinks so too, otherwise he would not agree to this appointment." Xu Fan slowly shook his head and said:

    "But I don't think so. Can a vicious dog that goes crazy and even bites the emperor really be well-raised? It's terrible."

    "Probably not" Wu Shilai felt that he was a little unfounded and worried, and that he was scaring himself.

    "I hope everything is safe and sound." Xu Fan opened his eyes, forced a smile and said, "Maybe I was frightened by what happened to Yange's hometown, and I was always suspicious, making my senior brother laugh."

    "Be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship." Wu Shilai shook his head gently.

    "Yeah, be careful and you won't make a big mistake." Xu Fan nodded and wanted to change the topic to a lighter topic, so he asked with a smile: "By the way, about the need to revise the harmony poem, what did you tell that little Mr. Gao?  ?"

    "It's Mr. Zhao, I've already told him." Wu Shilai nodded and corrected.

    It turns out that the request for Zhao Hao to flatter him again came not from Mr. Xu Ge, but from his son Does this count as Zhao Hao unjustly accusing Mr. Xu Ge?

    ??~~

    Wu Shilai then continued the conversation and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, his father is the person who was elected yesterday."

    "What?" Xu Fan couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Didn't they just come to Beijing from Jinling? How could they catch the eldest princess's line? It's almost a long way, right?"

    "It's because Zhao Xiaolian's son saved the life of the Lord of Lanling County." Wu Shilai replied: "Yesterday, the young master went to the government office in person to ask for someone. This is what he said, and there shouldn't be any lies."

    Hearing this, Xu Fan¡¯s face, which had just returned to normal, turned dark again.

    He immediately asked the housekeeper to call Xu Yuanchun over.

    Then I asked my son if this was the case.

    When Xu Yuanchun heard that the eldest princess actually asked the young master to rescue Zhao Hao's father, his eyesight suddenly darkened.

    At the same time, he imagined that amidst the festive wedding music of "Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix", Li Chengen sent Li Mingyue, who was wearing a red wedding dress and a red hijab, to the boy named Zhao.  Then the scene of the two of them getting married in front of the eldest princess

    Thinking about it, tears welled up in Xu Yuanchun's eyes, and he felt like his heart was about to break.

    "Didn't you, an idiot, get so close to the county lord? How come you let me get ahead of you?!" Xu Fan scolded with a look of hatred on his face: "You are still studying at home, so hurry up and think of a way to marry me."  If you are not the head of the county, you can become a monk!"

    When Xu Yuanchun heard this, he could not help but see himself wearing monk's robes, shaving his head, and lighting the scars, wiping the altar table in the Empress Temple.  But I saw Zhao Hao and Li Mingyue coming in with a pair of twins to restore the scene to the Buddha
