The emperor's decree ordered the soil in Gyeonggi in the Hubu Langzhong Xu Jin Qingzhang instantly caused an uproar in the officialdom, and the officials visited each other in series to inquire about the news, and some people came to visit the Jing'anbo Mansion with gifts; Some people are against the land of Qingzhang; Some people simply wrote a book to impeach Xu Jin for various reasons.

Of course, there are also some officials who applauded the case, for example, Xia Yan in the military department gave the matter one after another to shout for Xu Jin, such as Hanlin editor Fei Maozhong, Shu Jishi Lu Jun, Jiang Rubi, Liao Daonan, Zhan Shifu Youzhong Yun Yang Weicong, etc., also went up to support Qingzhang land.

It is understandable that Lu Jun and other new Ke Hanlin support Qingzhang land, young people, who is not enthusiastic, not to mention that they have only been in the officialdom for a year, and they do not have any land in Gyeonggi. However, it is a bit intriguing that Yang Weicong also supports the land of Qingzhang, Yang Zhuangyuan can now be said to be the protégé of Yang Ge Lao, does that mean that Yang Ge Lao also supports the land in Qingzhangji?

Compared with the middle and lower-level officials, those high-ranking officials and nobles are much calmer, and the interests involved in the land of Qingzhang are too wide and too wide, they don't really believe that Xu Jin dares to move seriously, at most, they just take down some shrimp and miscellaneous fish at the top to start the knife, and finally make some political achievements to the emperor.

Then, a group of high-ranking officials and nobles soon became not calm, because after Xu Jin received the holy decree, he immediately asked for the assistance of mobilizing 500 battalions to prevent anyone from violently obstructing the work of Qingzhang, and also asked the War Bureau to cast a batch of standard iron measuring tools to prevent those local grassroots officials from colluding and cheating in the measurement process. In addition, Xu Jin also closed his door to thank guests and refused everyone's visits and invitations.

Xu Jin put on this vigorous and resolute posture, which made the officials even more uneasy, so there were more copies of the impeachment of him, but unfortunately they were all lost in the sea after handing them over. It is understandable that the little emperor is protecting Xu Jin, but the cabinet is not silent, which is a bit bad.

On the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, Xu Jin just returned home from the next dynasty and received a post from Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, inviting him to come over tomorrow morning to enjoy a few cups of chrysanthemums.

Xu Jin smiled indifferently, the so-called chrysanthemum drinking, I'm afraid it is a "Hongmen banquet", and said to Dabao: "Take some silver to reward the post, it means that tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, and the official wants to accompany the inner sons to Tan Zhezhi to ascend the incense, and invite Wei Guogong to Qionglin Building for a drink another day." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three pairs of beautiful eyes in the hall suddenly looked at each other, and their pretty faces were all happy.

"Okay, the little one will go back to the man!" Dabao withdrew with the post, and these days there is an endless stream of officials and gentry who come to visit and post posts, all of them are rejected by the lord without exception, but even Wei Guogong was rejected, which was beyond Dabao's expectations.

Xie Xiaowan said with a little worry: "Xianggong...... Why don't you go to Tantuo Temple tomorrow? ”

Fei Ruyi said softly: "Husband, the business is important, why don't you go to Tan Tuo to hold the incense another day!" ”

"Yes, I have to see you, husband, this matter is really unavoidable." Fei Jixiang gently kneaded Xu Jin's shoulders.

Recently, Xu Jin was impeached by many officials, so the three daughters were very worried, and now they are refusing Wei Guogong's invitation, for fear of offending several of the most powerful nobles in the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Jin patted Fei Jixiang's soft thorn on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am measured, not to mention that I have promised you something earlier, how can this husband break his word." ”

The three daughters couldn't help but feel sweet in their hearts, so they didn't say more, after all, the outside is all the business of the big man, and the female dependents really shouldn't ask, the key is that they believe that with their husband's ability, they will be able to handle things well.

……

Wei Guogong's Mansion, the tea fragrance in the warm pavilion is curling, Wei Guogong Xu Pengju is entertaining guests, a total of are: Dingguo Gong Xu Guangzuo, British Gong Zhang Lun, Shouling Hou Zhang Yanling, Jianchang Hou Zhang Heling, as well as Chengguo Gong Zhu Fu, Horse Duwei Xuyuan. The luxury of this lineup is really jaw-dropping, because almost all of the most prominent Xun Qi families in the Ming Dynasty are here.

Among the people present, Chengguo Zhu Fu was the oldest, he was already seventy and seven this year, his beard was all white, his face was full of wrinkles, and although he still held the post of the former military governor's office Zuo Du Governor, he was no longer in charge of things in normal times.

"The emperor has only been on the throne for a year, why does he suddenly want to clear the land, don't you think it's ......!" Zhu Fu stroked his beard, and the old man's voice was slightly dissatisfied, but after all, it was Lao Jiang, and he swallowed back the second half of the sentence.

It is said that the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 150 years, except for the implementation of a national Qingzhang land in the Hongwu years, since then the Ming Emperor has not cleared the land again, one is because the project is huge, it takes a long time, and the other is because the interests involved are too wide and the resistance is huge, so the successive emperors of the Ming Dynasty have given up this very wisely.

However, Emperor Jiajing has only been on the throne for a year, and he has succeeded to the throne as the prince of the vassal king, so he wants to re-measure the land, do you think that he has sat firmly?

Shouling Hou Zhang Heling sneered: "This still needs to be asked, it must be Jing Anbo Xu Jin who bewitched the emperor to do this, this son is now very powerful, and the emperor obeys his words." ”

The British prince Zhang Lun said angrily: "Xu Jin, this kid is really fucking good at making trouble, he proposed Qingtianzhuang before, and his father-in-law no longer cares about him, and now he has made this bad moth again!" Damn it, if he dares to come to the appointment tomorrow, his country's father-in-law will give him a little color. ”

Although Zhang Lun was involved in the business of the stumbling industry, the land of Qingzhang was moved by his fundamental interests, so he made up his mind that if Xu Jin dared not agree to release the water, he would not hesitate to turn his face.

Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang, immediately reminded: "The servant beside Xu Jin is very capable of fighting, so we'd better prepare more manpower." ”

A cold light flashed in Dingguo Gong Xu Guangzuo's eyes, and he said suddenly: "No matter how high the martial arts are, can you still dodge the fire and arrows?" If he, Xu Jin, dared to use force, his national duke would not mind giving him a ride. ”

Except for Wei Guogong, everyone present sneered, with their identity, although they could not use the army without the order of the military department, it was still easy to mobilize dozens of firearms. At that time, if Xu Jin doesn't know about affairs, what if he kills him directly? As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, and it is too easy to charge him with a crime.

Wei Guogong frowned secretly, he had the best "friendship" with Xu Jin in the audience, and he was a businessman in his bones, and he was more willing to make money with harmony, he didn't want to make trouble to the point of killing people, not to mention that it was not a good idea to marry the emperor, so he coughed lightly and said: "Don't be impulsive, Xu Ziqian is a smart person, tomorrow the prince will talk to him, I believe he will make a wise choice." ”

Chengguo Gong Zhu Fu nodded and said, "It is best to be able to solve it peacefully." ”

As soon as the words ended, the old housekeeper of the Wei Mansion walked in, his face was a little unnatural, and he reported: "Grandpa Guo, Jing Anbo said that tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, and he will accompany his relatives to Tanzhe Temple to ascend the heights and incense, and invite Grandpa Guo to Qionglin Building for a drink another day!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, suddenly sank his face, and Xu Jin actually refused his invitation.

British Gong Zhang Lun slapped the table and said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, shameless." ”

Captain Urging Yuan sneered: "It seems that this kid really plans to go all the way to the dark." ”

Dingguo Gong Xu Guangzuo said with a gloomy face: "Then the Duke of China wants to see if his Xu Ziqian's little arms and legs can withstand it." ”

A hint of smugness flashed in Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling's eyes, and he smiled: "Ben Hou knows that this kid toasts and doesn't eat and drink, hey, let's disperse, Ben Hou has left beforehand." After speaking, he stood up and left the Wei Mansion directly.

"Hey, Xu Jin, Xu Jin, it's hard to be angry, this is what you asked for, no wonder Ben Hou made the first move!" Zhang Yanling left the Wei Mansion, and immediately after returning home, he summoned the housekeeper Zhang Wang and secretly gave instructions.
