Chapter 227 The father does not know the son, the son does not know the father
Xu Jie was successful in his youth, but he suffered repeated setbacks when he first entered the official career. This developed his tenacious side, but at the same time he chose to wait and move when he encountered strong pressure... Of course, it can also be said that he was shrinking his head and being a turtle.
So, now that Li Mo has gained power, Xu Jie chose to lie dormant... Well, this idea coincides with Yan Song.
At the critical moment when Qian Yuan entered the capital to meet Emperor Jiajing, Xu Jie chose to absent from work for the first time four years after entering the cabinet, but only absent from work for half a day.
"Zisheng is here."
"Yuan Fu." Xu Jie took a few steps and helped Yan Song who was about to get up. "Yuan Fu is resting, there are some small things to do."
"Zisheng, where is there any little master?" Yan Song raised his white beard and raised, "How can a child from the East Tower afford it!"
"Your Majesty is very trustworthy, and it is also because Brother Shi has such ability." Xu Jie's face did not flush or breathe.
Yan Shifan's lips behind the table were raised. He looked down on Xu Jie. The old man from Songjiang usually called him "Deqiu". Now he has something to ask for. He can say it out loud, such as "Xiaoge Lao", "Brother Shi", and "Brother Donglou". He really doesn't want any face!
Whether it is "Brother Shi" or "Brother Donglou", it means that Xu Jie believes that he is peers with Yan Shifan, but in fact, Xu Jie and Yan Song are regarded as peers in the court.
Xu Jie praised Yan Shifan's level of handling the government during this period in a humble tone. Yan Song smiled and said nothing, but Yan Shifan nodded repeatedly... There was no way, he had this kind of virtue.
After a long time of greeting, Xu Jie began to talk about the important matters, but the important matters are not dealing with the government affairs or reviewing memorials sent from various places... Those things are not Xu Jie's turn to take charge of them. The important matters in his concept are Qian Yuan who entered the palace today.
It can be Hu Zongxian, but it can never be Cao Bangfu.
"It's almost three hours since I came out." Yan Shifan didn't raise his head, and while writing like flying, he said slowly: "Your Majesty gives you a banquet."
Xu Jie's face was gloomy and he had to give him a banquet for the first time he met the saint... He had long seen it over the years that he served Emperor Jiajing that this monarch was not the kind of foolish, nor the kind of wise monarch that civil servants imagined.
He could stay in it for so long, saying that this guy didn't flatter him... Xu Jie refused to believe it if he was beaten to death!
You are Qian Hetan’s great-grandson, the nephew of Qian Zheng, and the hero appreciated by Nie Shuangjiang. It’s so shameless!
Xu Jie was still thinking, and a figure flashed at the door.
"Old Huang." Yan Shifan's eyes were the sharpest, and he threw down his brush and smiled: "Come on another beat?"
"Eunuch Huang."
"Old Ge, Mr. Xu... Hey, Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan, please sit down first." Huang Jin greeted Yan Shifan and said with a smile: "Forget it today, Your Majesty is still waiting."
Yan Song and Xu Jie were both stunned. Emperor Jiajing had to take a break after lunch every day. Huang Jin, the eunuch in charge of the seal, often came to Zhilu for dinner. After all, he could not eat with Emperor Jiajing. Zhilu was the only place in Xiyuan with a small kitchen.
But today, Emperor Jiajing did not rest, which surprised Yan Song and Xu Jie.
"Haha, Your Majesty is quite talkative today?" Yan Song stood up with the handrail in his hand, "I'll just say hello, why did Eunuch Huang come here in person?"
"Follow the way, go." The smile on Huang Jin's face never seemed to disappear. "Your Majesty ordered Qian Yuan, a juren from Nanzhili, to escort Qian Yuan out of Xiyuan and just sent the person away."
The room was silent for a moment. Even Yan Song and Xu Jie had been through the officialdom for a long time, but his eyes were bulging out, and Huang Jin personally escorted Qian Yuan out of the palace...
You should know that Huang Jin was the eunuch in charge of seals and also in charge of the East Factory. He was called the inner minister and was brought to the capital by Emperor Jiajing from the Xing Palace. His trust in him was unmatched by anyone.
"Tsk tsk." Yan Shifan smacked his lips, turned his head and looked at Xu Jie before saying, "Your Majesty summoned me?"
"Yes, summoned Master Yan, Master Xu, and the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War."
"Let's go." Yan Song trembled and started his steps, while Yan Shifan coughed and looked at Xu Jie again.
"Brother Donglou?" Xu Jie felt a little upset.
Yan Shifan looked at Xu Jie again, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's okay, it's okay... I just heard someone telling me that someone is causing trouble at the Songjiang Guild Hall."
"Songjiang Guild Hall?"
Seeing that Xu Jie had not reacted, he personally sent Qian Yuan out of the palace and chatted with Lu Bing for a few more words, Huang Jin whispered: "Although the juren, His Majesty allows him to call himself a student, Mr. Xu, after all, he is a fellow villager..."
Xu Jie finally guessed something, and his face changed and walked towards the side room of the clerk next to him.
"Your Majesty is still waiting!" Yan Shifan shouted from behind, then smiled and said, "I don't know if it's time... I heard from Zhao Wenhua that he is a ruthless character who refuses to suffer."
"Okay." Yan Song glared at his son unhappily.
No one knows his son's attitude towards Xu Jie is better. Yan Song is very clear about his son's attitude towards Xu Jie, but now everyone has a common goal. It is not advisable to confront Xu Jie before Li Mo stepped down.
But I know my father is better than my son. Seeing that Huang Jin had already left the house, Yan Shifan whispered quietly: "Say a few less... Your Majesty is not happy."
Yan Song stopped talking and stepped out of the house with the help of Yan Shifan. Everyone knew that Xu Jie was the tool for His Majesty to promote him to check and balance Yan Song.
Yan Song and his son knew their son, and their son knew their father, but Xu Jie and his son... The father did not know their son, and the son did not know their father.
Xu Jie only knew that his son Xu Fan was ignorant, but he didn't know that he hated Qian Yuan so deeply... Well, he had no change in sharp teeth, but Qian Yuan is still a little sensible now, but his predecessor never knew what it meant.
Xu Fan only knew that his father Xu Jie was now above ten thousand people, waiting for Yan Song to retire or die of old age to become the chief minister, but he didn't know that this was the most dangerous moment after Xu Jie entered the cabinet.
Just as Yan Shifan said, it was indeed too late.
After leaving Xiyuan, Qian Yuan and Yang Wen and three or four other guards met. Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, showed a kind smile and left without saying anything.
Qian Yuan asked a few questions and said that no one was allowed to stay outside the Xiyuan Garden. Only Yang Wen brought three or four people to wait under the surveillance of the Jinyiwei, and the others all went to the Songjiang Guild Hall.
"There is no big deal now. Liu Hong from Ningguo Mansion has brought a lot of money. This time we bring it, we should save some money." Yang Wen whispered: "Taicang... it was cut off after March."
"Who Wang Shimao has the face to rub my meal?" Qian Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, Wang Min should know the current affairs of this person, turn around and ask, and hand over a post."
Yang Wen leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "Is it okay?"
"Go away, let you take a shower too, but you don't want to smell bad on your body!" Qian Yuan smiled and cursed and pushed Yang Wen away, "Young Master, what can I do!"
"That's good, that's good." Yang Wen smiled happily. Although Qian Yuan looked very calm during these days, Yang Wen and other guards were all worried. Emperor Jiajing really had no good reputation in the eyes of the people.
It's nothing... Qian Yuan lamented in his heart, but he might have offended Li Mo, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel.
Yan Song's reputation was so bad that Li Mo had offended him... and Qian Yuan remembered that this guy was quickly killed by Yan Song.
Qian Yuan was thinking in his mind that he might go back to Xu's mansion to explore the road... Xu Jie and his son didn't want to, but Xu Jie and his son were not the only ones.
Xu Jie's younger brother Xu Zhi was born in a Jinshi on two lists. His courtesy name was Ziming and his pseudonym Wanghu. He is now the head of the Ministry of War.
Importantly, Xu She was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng, Wu Baipeng, and Wang Shizhen, and had a good relationship with Zhang Juzheng, and his father was Sun Chengen, who retired as the Minister of Rites.
After all, Yan Song and Li Mo's fall were not far away. For a long time, Xu Jie was in power alone, and Qian Yuan didn't want to imitate his uncle.
The only problem is that Emperor Jiajing may not want to see himself and Xu Jie ease their relationship.
Qian Yuan was a little worried.
But soon, he made a decision.
Because, some familiar screams came.
Xu Fan, who looked like an evil ghost, was covering his hands and furious, "Boll it to death, kill that cat!"
A black shadow was passing through the crowd like lightning. Qian Yuan took a few steps, but a man suddenly kicked and the black shadow was kicked and hit the wall beside him.
"Test it for me, beat it!" Xu Fan was still cursing and slapped Zhang San in the face.
The guards around them all turned red. In recent years, they had fought to kill the Japanese and raised their arrogance in their hearts. The Japanese pirates were rampant for thousands of miles, and only the Qian family guards could compete, but now they were so humiliated by the powerful children.
When he saw Qian Yuan appearing coldly not far away, Zhang San lowered his head. It was not because he was timid, but because Xu Jie was too big, he dared not cause trouble for Qian Yuan.
"Qian Yuan!"
Xu Fan turned around at the reminder of the follower, but immediately stopped... Now Qian Yuan is about 1.75 meters tall, but Xu Fan is not even 1.6 meters tall.
After thinking about it, Xu Fan slapped Zhang San in the face again and looked at Qian Yuan with a provocative look. What can you do?
Qian Yuan pulled the corner of his mouth as if nothing had happened, touched Xiao Hei who was snatched by the guard, and asked in a low voice: "Is it okay?"
Yang Wen looked at the hundreds of onlookers gathered around him and said with a laugh and cry: "Young Master, when is it now?"
Qian Yuan stretched out his finger, and Xiao Hei meowed twice, poked out his tongue and licked his fingers.
It seems that the problem is not a big deal. After all, the cat has nine lives, and Qian Yuan is slightly relieved.
After handing Xiao Hei to the guard, Qian Yuan walked forward a few steps, rolled up his sleeves, and tied the hem of his long gown around his waist.
"Young Master?"
"Young Master?"
Qian Yuan kept walking, and the look of looking at Xu Fan was filled with ruthlessness. After such a mess today, his relationship with the Xu family would definitely not be able to ease.
But Xu Fan had already slapped him... No, he slapped him twice, not on Zhang San's face, but on Qian Yuan's face.
OK, then just take advantage of your wishes!
The crowd around him was filled with cheers. Xu Fan had been in Beijing for three years and was considered a celebrity, but now this young man is not cowardly at all.
"Xu Fan, don't move."
Qian Yuan gave a few simple words, suddenly accelerated, rushed into the crowd, and kicked one person away with one foot.
