Xu Jin's understanding of King Ning is limited to a few words in the historical records, and there are private discussions of the people around him, and now he sees the prince of King Ning with his own eyes and guards directly into the city, and the soldiers guarding the city don't even dare to ask, so he realizes the power of King Ning in the Jiangxi territory.

"How can this be reasonable, this guy is so arrogant, he is running wild in the middle of the city!" Fei Maozhong flicked his sleeves and said angrily.

Xu Jin glanced at the Fei family brothers with cold faces, and asked quietly: "Minshou, is that young man really the prince of King Ning just now?" ”

Fei Mao said coldly: "If it weren't for him, who would dare to be so arrogant, this person is Brother Zhu, the eldest son of King Ning!" ”

Fei Maoxian saw Xu Jin's surprised expression, and explained: "Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao has a total of four sons, although they are all adults, but they have not yet reported to the Zongren Mansion to ask for names, so they all have no names, and the Ning Wang's Mansion is called the eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be a little speechless, there were really a lot of strange things in the old Zhu family, and he couldn't help asking: "Why didn't King Ning ask for his son's name?" ”

Fei Maozhong pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "King Ning's intentions are obvious, he wants to name his son himself!" ”

Xu Jin suddenly realized that the children of vassal kings in all parts of the Ming Dynasty must be named by the emperor, and King Ning did not ask his son for a long time, this is to plan to succeed in the rebellion in the future, and name his son after ascending the throne, this is the rhythm of planning to establish a national heir, which shows that King Ning has indeed long had a heart of disobedience.

"The people accept it, be cautious!" Fei Maoxian frowned and reminded that although King Ning's heart was already known to passers-by, he couldn't openly say it on the street.

Fei Maozhong said disappreciatively: "Big brother, Xu Jin is not an outsider, what are you afraid of!"

It is said that Xu Jin and the Fei family brothers are now close friends, plus they studied under Fei Hong, and Fei Hong also intended to cultivate him, so Xu Jin has been deeply branded by the Fei family, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

Therefore, the mutual interests of Xu Jin and the Fei family have been tied together, and it can be said that they are both prosperous and lossy.

Fei Maoxian was a little embarrassed and said: "I don't mean to treat Brother Xu as an outsider, it's just that it's not appropriate to talk about these things on the street." ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Minxian is right, let's go, come to my house and sit down?" ”

The sudden arrival of the prince of King Ning, nine times out of ten is aimed at the Fei family, and now he and the interests of the Fei family are inseparable, Xu Jin has to pay attention to it, he wants to have an in-depth understanding of the grievances between the Fei family and King Ning, as well as the current situation, in order to judge his own situation, and then formulate a strategy to deal with it.

According to historical records, King Ning has been rebelling in the past two years, Xu Jin has to be cautious, this thing is a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Fei family, once cut down, the Fei family will not be spared, as the so-called nest is not finished, the city gate fire affected the pond fish, with the relationship between himself and the Fei family, the Fei family fell, and he must have suffered.

"It's okay, it's been a long time since I've eaten spiced haggis!" Fei Maozhong nodded.

So, the three of them went back to the spiced haggis shop together, which coincided with the evening market, and the business of the haggis shop was the busiest.

"Xianggong is back!" Xie Xiaowan happily washed her hands and walked out from behind the stove, and greeted, "Two Fei Gongzi, do you want a bowl of spiced haggis?" ”

Fei Maoxian smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu, you are busy, you don't need to greet us, let's go and sit inside!" ”

Xu Jin casually brushed off a little flour crumb from the tip of Xiaowan's hair, and said, "Close early tonight, Minxian and Minshou have dinner at home!" ”

Xie Xiaowan smiled sweetly and sighed: "That Xianggong and Fei Gongzi went to the house to sit for a while." ”

Xu Jin and the Fei brothers entered the inner house, and as soon as Fei Maozhong entered the courtyard, he said strangely: "Xu Jin, what kind of crop are you?" ”

At this time, the Fei brothers all stopped in front of a bunch of chili peppers and looked at this never-before-seen plant in amazement.

These peppers were planted by Xu Jin in February, but I don't know if it was the reason for the careless preservation of the seeds, only five peppers grew in a bunch, and at this time they were nearly 30 centimeters tall, and small white flowers in the shape of rice grains bloomed between the green leaves, and some even grew small green peppers the size of toothpicks, even cute.

Xu Jin said with a smile: "This is called chili, I heard that it was brought in from the West, and the seeds were given by Uncle Yu, who sold the house last time." ”

The Fei brothers couldn't help but be stunned, Fei Maoxian said: "It turned out to be from the West, no wonder I haven't seen it, I also heard that last year there were Buddha people who came across the ocean, and later they were received by today, these unseen Yangbo really made a lot of jokes in the capital."

It is no wonder that although the national strength of the Ming Dynasty at this time was not as strong as that of the Chengzu period, it was still the most powerful empire in the East.

As everyone knows, on the other side of the world, Europe has begun the germination of capitalism, the era of global exploration is coming, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are still immersed in the superiority of the Celestial Empire, so that they gradually fall behind.

Of course, Xu Jin would not tell the Fei brothers this, after all, it was too advanced, and said with a smile: "These chili peppers are good things, when the fruit is ripe, please eat the upgraded version of spiced haggis!" ”

The Fei brothers couldn't help but have some expectations, they knew that Xu Jin was never exaggerated and bragging.

The three of them entered the study, and the little slave brought a pot of boiling water from outside to make tea, and then took the opportunity to stay, but Xu Jin saw through the kid's lazy attempt and kicked him out.

The three of them drank tea, and Xu Jin first opened the topic and said: "As far as I know, the feudal royal clans in various places are not allowed to leave the fiefdom privately, why did the prince of King Ning dare to come to Shangrao County?" ”

Fei Maoxian sighed and said: "Back then, Chengzu did strictly order that the vassal kings of various places were not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict, and they were not allowed to leave the fiefdom without permission, and even when they went out of the city, they had to report to the local officials, but with the passage of time, the binding force of the clan regulations promulgated by Chengzu was greatly reduced, and King Ning was powerful and arrogant, and he never obeyed it. ”

Fei Maozhong said angrily: "What is it to leave the fiefdom without permission, there is nothing in Jiangxi that King Ning does not dare to do, this fang embezzled millions of people's fields and official fields, colluded with thieves and robbers everywhere, and arrested and killed local officials without authorization. Dai Yi, the former Jiangxi envoy, was poisoned by King Ning, Zheng Yue, the political envoy Zheng Yue, Yushi Fange, and Song Yifang, the prefect of Nanchang, were all persecuted by King Ning, and some even killed their entire families! ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, King Ning was so cruel that he must know that all the commanders and envoys are all provincial-level military and political leaders, he even said that he would arrest him, and he would kill him if he said that he would kill him, this Wushuang was also too big!

"How dare King Ning act so recklessly? Didn't anyone impeach and report him in front of the emperor? Xu Jin only felt that his back was cold and swishing, so it seemed that Fei Hong's family was lucky to come to Shangrao County alive.

Fei Maoxian shook his head and said: "It's useless, when today's son plays and frolicks all day long, favors Jiang Bin and Qian Ning and his ilk, King Ning is friendly with Qian Ning, and bribes the courtiers with a lot of money." The excerpt of impeachment was intercepted before it was sent to the Son of Heaven at all, even if there were loyal ministers facing the crime of King Chen Ning, and there were traitorous ministers such as Qian Ning to cover up, the emperor did not accept it at all. My father, as well as the governor of Jiangxi, Sun Sui, went on more than a dozen consecutive trips and sank into the sea. ”

Fei Maozhong said angrily: "Back then, my father tried his best to prevent King Ning from restoring the three guards, but now he didn't think so, and finally let King Ning succeed, King Ning is even more arrogant now holding military power, and whoever dares not to rely on him will be suppressed."

My father and uncle were forced to resign by King Ning and the traitorous ministers of the court. In order to force my Fei family to submit, King Ning also sent people to burn my hometown in Leadshan County, dig up my Fei's ancestral grave, and even let thieves invade Leadshan County and kill my uncle......! ”

Speaking of this, Fei Maozhong's eyes were slightly red, his fists were clenched, and he said in a deep voice: "Last time our building ship was attacked by water thieves, Brother Xu was also present at the time, and there is a good chance that these people were sent by King Ning. If it weren't for Mrs. Xu's skills, dozens of people from our Fei family would probably have been buried in the Xinjiang River at that time! ”

Fei Maoxian saw Xu Jin's solemn expression, thinking that he was frightened, and comforted: "Although King Ning is cruel, Shangrao County is far away from Nanchang, and King Ning's minions can't reach here, not to mention that there are thousands of households stationed in Shangrao County, and King Ning's people don't dare to mess around!" ”

Xu Jin didn't agree with Fei Maoxian's words, he just saw Brother Zhu, the son of King Ning, enter the city with his own eyes, and the city guards didn't even dare to let go of the fart, and reminded: "The people can't be taken lightly, now the Fei family and King Ning are in a situation of fire and water, with the ferocity of King Ning, maybe he will be poisoned, Fei Fu should strengthen vigilance, prevent trouble, and be more careful when entering and exiting!" ”

Fei Maozhong nodded and said: "Big brother, Xu Jin is right, it seems that our family needs to invite some martial artists to come back, fortunately, the new governor of Jiangxi, Sun Sui, is upright and upright, and he is good friends with my father, he has more than 10,000 orthodox soldiers in Leadshan County, King Ning should not dare to act rashly!" ”

Xu Jin was a little determined when he heard this, and finally a reliable character came out to compete with King Ning, or he really couldn't play.

The governor of the Ming Dynasty had great powers, generally overseeing the military and political power of a province, and the three major local provincial organs all commanded the division (army), the political department (government), and the criminal department (law) had to listen to the governor's tone.

Therefore, Sun Sui, the governor of Jiangxi, is still qualified to wrestle with King Ning, and the Fei family has him as a backer, so it is still safe for the time being.

Xu Jin and the three of them chatted in detail in the study for a long time, until the little slave told them to have dinner, and after everyone finished dinner, the Fei brothers said goodbye and left.

After this detailed discussion, Xu Jin finally had a detailed understanding of the current situation, and his understanding of King Ning was clearer, and he was no longer blind.

Xu Jin had estimated that King Ning would rebel this year or next year, with a high probability of rebellion next year, and now he is even more certain that the probability of King Ning's rebellion next year is as high as 90%, and he must prepare early.
