Luo Xin now has a faint feeling that Xu Jie has gradually ceased to be his opponent, and his real opponent is Zhang Juzheng. Before Xu Jie's official retirement, he will definitely assist Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng's source is also Xinxue, if he can carve up a piece of the soil of Xinxue, he will have one more opportunity to strengthen himself and weaken Zhang Juzheng.

Although Zhang Juzheng's reputation is not as high as his, and his grade is the same as him, he attaches great importance to Zhang Juzheng. In fact, in history, Zhang Juzheng's reputation and achievements are much greater than Xu Jie.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news." ”

King Jing set off, and Yuan Wei also set off with King Jing. The capital was quiet, and although King Yu had not yet been officially established as the prince, he also regarded King Yu as the prince in the hearts of the hundred officials.

In the cabinet, Xu Jie's cowardly and forbearant state has changed, and the competition with Gao Gong is very fierce. In this fierce battle, Zhang Juzheng quietly returned to Yuwang's mansion, although Yuwang was very cold to him, he silently showed his ability and loyalty.

Yuwang's attitude towards Zhang Juzheng is a little complicated, because after Zhang Juzheng turned his head to King Jing, although he did not openly support Xu Jie, he did not oppose it. This made King Yu, who has a generous personality, only able to treat Zhang Juzheng with indifference, but he couldn't do anything to drive Zhang Juzheng away. And this is Zhang Juzheng's opportunity.

Nine days have passed since such days, and Emperor Jiajing has just finished his cultivation for the day, when a eunuch reports that Yuan Wei's son came to report the funeral.

When Emperor Jiajing first heard this, his expression was obviously flustered. Then he closed his eyes, half a ring, opened his eyes and said:

"Go and ask."

"Yes."

Huang Jin walked out of the main hall, and in about two quarters of an hour, he returned to the main hall:

"Your Majesty, Yuan Wei fell ill on the third day after leaving the capital, and then he couldn't afford to get sick."

Emperor Jiajing sighed and said, "It's better to mourn than to die!" An old man who has an idea and looks at it shattered, can't bear it. ”

Huang Jin lowered his head slightly, not daring to speak. Emperor Jiajing thought for a while and said, "Let Yuan Wei not follow King Jing to the fiefdom, let them go back to their hometown." ”

"Yes!"

Xufu.

Den.

"Father, Your Majesty is too ruthless." Xu Luqing said with anger in his eyes and worry.

Xu Jie said with a smile: "You are not angry about the ending of the Yuan family, but worried about the future of the Xu family, right?" ”

Xu Luqing's expression was stunned, and after thinking about it, Huo Ran was shocked to realize that his subconscious was really like what his father said. Xu Luqing, who calmed down, thought for a moment and said:

"Father, no matter what, Lord Yuan has been loyal to His Majesty for decades, and after this death, His Majesty will send him away regardless of it, and let the Yuan family expel the capital and let them return to their hometown. Isn't this a natural coldness? ”

Xu Jie shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is cold by nature, which is known to all officials. But this thing is done with a human touch. ”

"Father's ......"

Xu Jie waved his hand and said: "Yuan Wei is King Jing's teacher, over the years, for King Jing, I don't know how many things I have done against King Yu's camp, and I don't know how many people he has harmed. Now King Yu is basically the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Even if King Yu is mellow by nature and will not pursue Yuan Wei, but the emperor does not pursue it, it does not mean that others will not pursue it, those who follow King Yu, once they gain power, how can they spare Yuan Wei?

It can even cause trouble to the family!

And now His Majesty has let Yuan Wei's family return to their hometown, and it is white. In this way, even if King Yu ascends the throne in the future, those people are embarrassed to harm Yuan Wei's family. This is His Majesty's protection of Yuan's family. ”

Xu Luqing looked at Xu Jie in a daze, Xu Jie stopped speaking, his eyes gradually lost focus, half loud, and sighed:

"The future of the Xu family may not be as good as the Yuan family!"

"Father...... You mean Your Majesty ......"

"Xu Jie can't count on His Majesty, he can only pin his hopes on Taiyue. The father will fully support Taiyue, and also hope that Taiyue will be able to repay the Xu family in the future. ”

"Father's ......"

"Do you wonder if Your Majesty will treat the Xu family like you did to the Yuan family, right?"

Xu Luqing also understood in his heart at this time that his father would not stay in the cabinet for a long time. With his father's wisdom, if it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he knew that his career had come to an end, and now he would not transfer Zhang Juzheng back, in order to fully support Zhang Juzheng, he changed his previous cautiousness, and fought for every inch of land in the cabinet and Gao Gong, he saw the ending of Yuan Wei and the Yuan family, and couldn't help but worry about the future outcome of the Xu family.

The Xu family didn't wait for Xu Luqing to answer, but shook their heads and said, "No, Your Majesty won't treat me like that." Once I return to my hometown, Your Majesty will let me return to my hometown with honor, and I will also give you an additional rank and knighthood. ”

"Your Majesty, he ......" Xu Luqing was shocked.

"Your Majesty was originally a cold-hearted and ruthless person. Like Yuan Wei, although he has a different mind, but as King Jing's teacher, he has no choice but to do that. In the eyes of His Majesty, although he was disrespectful, he was also loyal to King Jing.

And what about fatherhood?

As Yuwang's teacher, but betrayed Yuwang. In the eyes of His Majesty, I am not only a betrayal of King Yu, but also a betrayal of him. Because he originally decreed that I should become King Yu's teacher, that is, let me assist King Yu, but I betrayed King Yu without His Majesty's consent, isn't this a betrayal of Your Majesty?

Therefore, Your Majesty will not let me go.

In this way, when King Yu ascends to the great treasure, those ministers from the dragon will see that my Xu family is still alive and well, and the new hatred and old hatred will definitely make our Xu family ruined. This is the ruthlessness of His Majesty.

Therefore, our Xu family can't count on Your Majesty at all, and hopes that Taiyue will be able to protect the Xu family in the future. ”

"Taiyue ...... Have you gained the trust of Yuwang? ”

"It's improved, but it's ...... Alas......" The Xu family sighed and said: "I have sent a letter to Wang Ji and invited him to come to the capital to talk, hoping that Xinxue can support Taiyue and regard Taiyue as their representative in the officialdom, so that Taiyue's chances of victory can be much greater."

Wang Ji, he should have arrived in these days! ”

Xu Luqing looked at his father, and he could clearly feel reluctance from his father's face, reluctant to struggle for decades, but finally had to leave the battlefield. Xu Luqing's tears flowed involuntarily.

"Don't cry!" Xu Jie said softly.

"Father's ......"

Luo Fu.

Luo Xin looked at the letter in his hand, raised his hand and rubbed his temples, put the letter on the table, and whispered:

"Does Wang Ji want to go see Xu Jie? It's a pity that He Xinyin doesn't have much news for me. ”

A wry smile appeared on Luo Xin's face: "He Xinyin is a heart scholar, how can he support me?" In the past, it could only be regarded as cooperation, and now it can only be cooperation. ”
