Chapter 197 Backstab (1)

Xu's house.

This is the first time Xu Jie has lived in the backyard since the Xiyuan Incident last year, leaning weakly against the head of the bed. When Xu Fan brought in Chen Hong, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, in charge of the seal, Xu Jie became even more violent... he was already dying.

Chen Hong first said in a tone that His Majesty did not allow him before sitting on the chair beside the bed, "At the beginning of winter, Yuan Fu should take care of his health to avoid the cold air. The cabinet has been in chaos these days, and His Majesty still hopes that Yuan Fu will take charge of the overall situation."

Xu Jie reluctantly bowed and thanked him, "The old minister thanked His Majesty for his kindness, but now he is sick and unable to move. I am afraid he will disappoint His Majesty."

Mom, you are a dead eunuch. Although I am pretending to be sick, why are you sick? You don’t know why?

That night, Chen Hong, ordered the closing of the Xiyuan Gate. Why do you think I forgot?!

The cabinet is in chaos, and I am hoping that I will take charge of the overall situation... Chen Hong, you are half-entered in Suiyuan, and you speak with such a sarcastic and mean look. I haven't held the vote for more than a year!

"Why is this?" Chen Hong's face was filled with smiles. "Prince Yan was always unable to move into winter, but he could always hold on."

Xu Jie's face turned a little black, and he closed his eyes slightly and stopped talking... Chen Hong's words were a little poisonous and compared Yan Song with Xu Jie.

However, since the memorial of Zhou Tianrui, the governor of Songjiang, was spread, many officials in the court have been discussing this matter privately... Fenyi, Huating, which one is worse?

Defeating Yan Song and creating a good reputation... It is not about Xu Jie himself, but about Yan Song's role as a recognized treacherous minister.

In this life, Qian Yuan completely pulled down the layer of shame, dragged Xu Jie to the sun to compare with Yan Song... Tsk tsk, it's really hard to say who is not a thing!

Listening to Chen Hongyi and Zhang and Xu Fan, the expression on Xu Jie's face could not be maintained... I was just asleep, and I was pretending to be asleep. Are you, Chen Hong, going to comfort the family?

Chen Hong and Xu Jie knew it in their minds that Emperor Longqing really wanted to kick Xu Jie away, but the problem was that as the chief minister of the cabinet, Xu Jie wrote a letter to resign without any obvious charges. As usual, Emperor Longqing must keep him.

After all, the lessons of the past are not far away. Emperor Longqing's unruly cousin Zhu Houzhao faced the cabinet chief Liu Jian and the second assistant Xie Qian's resignation without hesitation... If you want to get out, then get out.

Everyone has seen the consequences. Zhu Houzhao's temple name is Wuzong, and he regards Wu as the temple. He either has strong and meritorious style, the Han Wu's heroic style, Wei Wu waved his whip, or he played in a playful and incompetent manner, like Emperor Wuzong of Tang, a famous foolish monarch.

Even if Emperor Longqing was willing, he had to refuse Xu Jie's resignation. He would not hesitate to ask the inner minister Chen Hong to go to Xu's house to comfort Xu Jie in person, for fear that the civil servants would record the debt in the future.

The dying Xu Jie was pretending, and the amiable Chen Hong was even memorizing lines until he saw a young woman crying... Xu Fan did not renew his marriage, and Xu Ying was still in Songjiang. Who is this?

Chen Hong quickly realized that it should be Xu Jie's only daughter and Zhang Juzheng's wife Xu Can.

Xu Fan respectfully sent Chen Hong out. Xu Can stepped forward and called out a few steps softly, "Father, Father..."

Unexpectedly, Xu Jie was already asleep. This time, Zhou Tianrui and Dong Chuance's counterattack hit Xu Jie too much. They were extremely disappointed, exhausted, and desperate...

From the heart, Xu Jie didn't want to harm his hometown. Rabbits didn't eat grass by their nests. Unless they died in office, they would have to return to their hometown in their later years. Even if they died in office, their children and grandchildren would have to return to their hometown.

But Yan Song did not have so many greedy brothers and nephews. Although the Yan family is not considered a family of officials in the local area, it is also a scholarly family. Among Yan Song's wife, Ouyang, three of the brothers, have fame and one has two Jinshi.

Xu Jie is different. His grandfather is still a son-in-law. The Xu family has a very eager desire to climb, whether in Xu Jie's career or in the position of Xu's family in Huating in Susong.

The five brothers of Xu Jie were three of them without fame, and the dozen or so sons and nephews below all had a big appetite. Of course, Xu Fan and Xu Ying were not a good bird...

Well, it was mainly Xu Ying. It only took a year to go back. Huating Xu was striving on a dead end under his command.

In fact, Xu Jie is like Yan Song. The officials in Yuanzhou Prefecture and Fenyi County are basically all Yan Dang, Songjiang Prefecture and Huating County are also basically all Xu Jie's party and badminton disciples.

It is precisely this reason that the Xu family is unscrupulous in the Susong area. Anyway, with the support of Songjiang Prefecture and Huating County, they are not afraid of being stabbed in Nanjing. Even if they are exposed to the capital, Xu Jie will still support them.

A few days ago, Xu Jie regretted not strangling Qian Yuan to death, and now Xu Jie regretted not shooting Xu Ying on the wall.

Although it was because of the counterattack of students Zhou Tianrui and Dong Chuance, Xu Jie had this awareness. It was meaningless to explore why they betrayed them... But others don't think so.

Zhang cursed softly, "I was so humble back then, and the Dong family has always been so heartless!"

Xu Fan, who came back to Chen Hong, snorted. Now he is over thirty years old and is much more calm. He knows that this matter is largely due to Xu Ying, but he doesn't want to provoke it. He just said casually: "No wonder Brother Yuan Han, this matter was caused by Qian Yuan."

Seeing Zhang's expression at a loss, Xu Fan explained: "Half a year ago, Qian Yuan secretly left Beijing, went south to quell the rebellion, and went to Songjiang Mansion first after arriving in the southeast. Brother Yuan Han, Zhou Tianrui, and Wu Zhen had met him."

Although I don’t know the inside story, Xu Fan was sure that the student who suddenly got up this time had a lot to do with the meeting.

A woman from Zhang's inner courtyard couldn't understand, but Xu Can could understand it and said softly: "Brother has hired a good son-in-law."

Xu Fan said indifferently: "It would be better if my brother-in-law had known it would have been here."

"You..." Zhang gritted his teeth and stared at Xu Fan fiercely.

"Choose thousands of choices, choose two ungrateful wolves." Xu Fan sneered: "Wrong, there is only one ungrateful wolves, Qian Yuan is not a leader."

Zhang was furious and opened his mouth and wanted to scold him, but then he thought that Xu Jie was still sleeping on the bed, and then he couldn't help but burst into tears after he recalled it... Once Xu Jie left, he and his two sons were really lonely and helpless. Xu Ying might even be imprisoned and convicted. His daughter is basically a widow in the Zhang family now.

However, Xu Fan, no matter what, is Qian Yuan's serious father-in-law. He heard that Qian Yuan and his wife were in harmony, and once Xu Jie did not pose a threat, Qian Yuan would give Xu Fan some face.

Although he was not crying loudly, Xu Jie on the bed still woke up slowly, forced himself to sit up halfway, and scolded, "I'm not dead yet, why are you sobbing!"

The crying stopped. Xu Jie, with his daughter's support, put on his clothes, and said expressionlessly: "Everyone is out, stay with you."

Watching his wife and daughter go out, Xu Jie looked at Xu Fan carefully, "What are your plans in the future?"

"Why did my father say this?" Xu Fan talked happily, "The matter between Wang Zimin cannot be involved in his father. The family is making too big in Songjiang, so it can only be said that his father has no way to educate his children..."

Xu Jie shook his head slightly. His son was not able to study and his mind was not deep enough. He could only mention a little, "Yang Dongli."

Xu Fan suddenly realized, lowered his head and said nothing.

Yang Shiqi, who served in the Six Dynasties and entered the cabinet for 40 years and was in power for more than 20 years, lost his reputation because of dozens of illegal acts such as his son Yang Ji. Although he enforced the law impartially, he also retired because of this.
