Chapter 1016: Xu's decision
Before leaving the capital and coming to the southeast, he had talked with Luo Xin several times, indicating the reason for his departure from Xu Jie. Moreover, from Luo Xin's attitude at that time, it can be seen that Luo Xin did not blame him for betraying him, which made him see Luo Xin's mind. At this time, Luo Xin took the initiative to invite him to join the camp, which expressed Luo Xin's sincerity.
The only thing he is worried about now is Luo Xin's position and ability. In fact, he is more worried about Luo Xin's position and he trusts Luo Xin's ability very much. In his opinion, Luo Xin's ability has completely surpassed the current cabinet chief Xu Jie and the second auxiliary Gao Gong.
Who shocked the foreign races in the north and south borders of the Ming Dynasty?
It's Luo Xin!
Who solved the finances of the Ming Dynasty?
It's Luo Xin!
Xu Jie and Gao Gong do not have this ability.
However, Luo Xin’s position is too low now, only in the fourth rank, and he is still an idle seat. How much effect can this play in the officialdom?
How high can Luo Xin have in King Yu’s heart?
If Luo Xin has always been the position of Zuo Shuzi and is not at a high position in King Yu's mind, how can he gain benefits in this game?
If we cannot gain benefits, after King Yu ascended the throne, Xu Jie was still the chief minister of the cabinet. At that time, would there be a good life for Luo Xin and Xu Shixing?
Does he still have a chance to realize his ideal?
But think about it, do you still have a choice now?
Xu Jie may hate himself to the core, and Gao Gong will not accept him. Unless he is alone or raises a banner by himself. However, with his reputation and ability now, even if he raises a banner, will anyone defect to him?
No!
Absolutely not!
You will become a joke, a big joke.
In this way, if you don’t want to be alone, you can only defect to Luo Xin.
Luo Xin was able to get Yan Song down under the heavy suppression of Xu Jie and Yan Song. Under the heavy suppression of Xu Jie, he was still as stable as Mount Tai. Instead, Xu Jie's position as the chief minister of the cabinet was in danger.
I just believed Luo Xin once and put his life on Luo Xin.
Once Xu Shixing made up his mind, he calmed down. And he knew that this was his only chance to follow Luo Xin again. If he betrayed Luo Xin, he would never have a chance again. Moreover, Luo Xin would never have no reaction like he did last time, and he would definitely hit him as punishment.
Xu Shixing stood up, clasped his fists at Luo Xin and said, "Mr. Luo, I am willing to follow you and do something."
Luo Xin hurriedly stood up, reached out to hold Xu Shixing, and asked Xu Shixing to sit down. He picked up the wine glass and said in a low voice:
"Welcome Brother Xu, let's have a drink."
"please!"
"please!"
Since Xu Shixing had decided to follow Luo Xin, he no longer hid his thoughts. He put down his wine glass, looked at Luo Xin and said:
"Mr. Luo, what do you think about the current situation?"
Luo Xin smiled and said, "The current situation in the court mainly has two camps, one is Xu Jie and the other is Gao Gong."
"This..." Xu Shixing's eyes showed a hint of disappointment and said, "Aren't you considered a camp?"
"Think, of course, hahaha..." Luo Xin laughed and said, "But our camp is still very weak. At least compared to the Xu Party and Gao Party, we are not as good as the two of them in terms of number of people or official positions."
Xu Shixing couldn't help but say a little discouraged: "Then don't we have any chance?"
"You can't say that either." Luo Xin smiled and said, "First of all, whether Gao Gong or Xu Jie noticed us, they would not spend too much energy to deal with us. After all, Gao Gong and Xu Jie both regarded each other as their biggest opponents. Even if they had the heart to deal with me, they did not have the strength to deal with me. Because they were both involved in most of their energy, they were just too much, which was because they had the heart but not enough. Haha..."
Xu Shixing nodded, his eyes lit up and said, "What do you mean, let's sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight?"
"It's not entirely about watching the tiger fight. We have to continue to strengthen ourselves in the fight between the two tigers. For example, this time, even if Xu Jie is still the chief minister of the cabinet, his voice will definitely be snatched away by Gao Gong. In this way, the strength between the two people will be much more balanced and the battle will become more intense. In the process of their fight, we can absorb more like-minded people."
Luo Xin's eyes exuded a strong sense of confidence: "And, my position in King Yu's heart is absolutely number one. Even Xu Jie and Gao Gong are not as good as me. Therefore, for Xu Jie or Gao Gong, as long as what they do is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty or King Yu, I will support it. As long as King Yu ascends the throne, it is time for us to display our ambitions."
"You...really?"
Xu Shixing looked at Luo Xin in shock. He really couldn't believe that Luo Xin would rank first in King Yu's heart, and he was absolutely the first.
Luo Xin smiled and said, "I will take you to see King Yu when I have the chance."
Xu Shixing heard this and his confidence in Luo Xin increased greatly. Since Luo Xin dared to take him to see King Yu, it proved that what he said was true. With Xu Shixing's wisdom, just look at King Yu's attitude towards Luo Xin, you can judge Luo Xin's position in King Yu's heart.
"Mr. Luo, here in the southeast, we really do nothing now?"
“Don’t do it!”
"But... those vassal merchants have been coming to me."
"Next time, they come to you again, and you will tell them that within ten days, they will definitely solve the problem of their supply."
Songjiang.
Xu Mansion.
Xu Luqing, Xu Kun, Xu Ying and the old lady sat together, and the old lady asked:
"What is Luo Xin doing?"
"Walking on the West Lake with Xu Shi."
"Visiting West Lake?" The old lady's tone suddenly increased: "He didn't go to see the businessmen of the vassal state?"
"No!"
"Didn't you go to see Lu Ding and the others?"
"No!"
"Didn't you go to see Hu Zongxian?"
"No!"
The old lady's expression changed constantly, and finally said pale: "Sell some land, listen to your father's, and buy the goods within ten days."
"Grandmother!" Xu Kun stood up and said, "Our Xu family is not easy to bully. In this case, our Xu family will suffer too much. I think it's better to send a letter to my father..."
"Shut up!" The old lady slapped the table, her chest fluttering violently: "Now Luo Xin clearly shows that even if he is uneasy, he travels all day long, just waiting for our Xu family to not cooperate. After the ten days expire, he directly confiscated our Xu family. At that time, your father would also be implicated. What will happen to the angry Your Majesty? Don't you think about it?"
The three brothers Xu Luqing's faces suddenly turned pale, and Xu Kun even collapsed on the chair. Xu Luqing took a deep breath, barely calmed down his emotions and said:
"We will start selling the land immediately tomorrow. Ten days are not long. We not only need to sell the land, but also purchase the supply. We must complete these within ten days, and we cannot give Luo Xin a chance."
