Luo Xin now has a faint feeling that Xu Jie has gradually stopped becoming his opponent, and his real opponent is Zhang Juzheng. Before Xu Jie officially retires, he will definitely assist Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng's source is also the study of the mind. If he can divide up the soil of study of the mind, he will have an additional opportunity to strengthen himself and weaken Zhang Juzheng.

Although Zhang Juzheng is not as famous as him and has the same rank 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.

Then he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

King Jing set out, and Yuan Wei also set out with King Jing. The capital became quiet. Although King Yu had not been officially established as the crown prince, he regarded King Yu as the crown prince in the hearts of all officials.

In the cabinet, Xu Jie changed his cowardly and forbearing state and competed fiercely with Gao Gong. In this fierce battle, Zhang Juzheng quietly returned to Prince Yu's mansion. Although Prince Yu was very cold to him, he silently showed his ability and loyalty.

King Yu's attitude towards Zhang Juzheng was a bit complicated, because after Xu Jie turned to King Jing, although he did not publicly support Xu Jie, he did not object. This made King Yu, who was generous, only treated Zhang Juzheng with coldness, but could not do anything to drive Zhang Juzheng away. And this was Zhang Juzheng's opportunity.

Nine days passed, and Emperor Jiajing had just finished his practice that day, and a eunuch reported that Yuan Wei's son came to report the death.

When Emperor Jiajing heard it, his expression was obviously stunned for a moment. Then he closed his eyes, opened his eyes for a while and said:

“Go and ask.”

"Abide by the order."

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

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

Emperor Jiajing sighed and said, "There is no greater sorrow than death in my heart! An old man who has an idea and looks at the shattered idea can't bear it."

Huang Jin lowered his head slightly and did not dare to speak. Emperor Jiajing thought for a while and said, "Let Yuan Wei not follow King Jing to his fiefdom, let them return to their hometown."

"Abide by the order!"

Xu Mansion.

study.

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

Xu Jie smiled and said, "You are not angry about the ending of the Yuan family, but are you worried about the future of the Xu family?"

Xu Luqing's expression was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that his subconscious was really as his father said. Xu Luqing, who calmed down, thought for a moment:

"Father, no matter what, Lord Yuan has been loyal to His Majesty for decades. After his death, His Majesty sent him away without hesitation, and also asked the Yuan family to expel the capital and let them return to their hometown. Isn't this a shameless nature?"

Xu Jie shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is a shameless person, and all officials know this. But this is done with humanity."

"Father……"

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

It will even harm your family!

Now Your Majesty has asked Yuan Wei's family to return to his hometown, and he will return in vain. In this way, even if King Yu ascends the throne in the future, those people will be embarrassed to harm Yuan Wei's family. This is Your Majesty protecting Yuan's family."

Xu Luqing looked at Xu Jie blankly. Xu Jie stopped talking, his eyes gradually disappeared from focus. After a while, he sighed:

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

"Father...you mean your Majesty..."

"Xu Jie can't count on His Majesty, and can only place his hope on Taiyue. The father will fully support Taiyue, and hope that Taiyue can repay the Xu family in the future."

"Father……"

"You are wondering if Your Majesty will treat the Xu family like you do to the Yuan family, right?"

Xu Luqing also knew in his heart that his father had not been in the cabinet for a long time. With his father's wisdom, if it were not for the urgent situation, he knew that his career had come to an end and would not have transferred Zhang Juzheng back now. In order to fully support Zhang Juzheng, he changed his past cautiousness and fought with Gao Gong in the cabinet. When he saw the ending of Yuan Wei and the Yuan family, he couldn't help but worry about the future ending of the Xu family.

The Xu family did not wait for Xu Luqing to answer, but shook their heads and said, "No, Your Majesty will not treat me like that. Once I retire and return to my hometown, Your Majesty will let me return to my hometown with glory, and will also give you an additional title."

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

"Your Majesty was originally a person with a cold and ruthless temperament. Like Yuan Wei, although he had a different mind, as King Jing's teacher, he had no choice but to do that. In His Majesty's opinion, although he was disrespectful to him, he was also loyal to King Jing.

And what about being a father?

As King Yu's teacher, he betrayed King Yu. In His Majesty's opinion, this is not only a betrayal of King Yu, but also a betrayal of him. Because he issued an order to become King Yu's teacher, just to assist King Yu, but I betrayed King Yu without His Majesty's consent, what is this not a betrayal of Your Majesty?

So, Your Majesty will not let me go.

In this way, when King Yu ascended to the great treasure, those ministers who followed the dragon saw that my Xu family was still alive so well, and the new and old hatreds combined would definitely destroy our Xu family. This is the cruelty of His Majesty.

Therefore, our Xu family cannot count on His Majesty at all. I hope Taiyue can protect the Xu family in the future."

"Did Taiyue... gain the trust of King Yu?"

"There has been some improvement, but...ah..." Xu family sighed and said, "I have sent a letter to Wang Ji and invited him to come to the capital for a talk. I hope that Xinxue can support Taiyue and regard Taiyue as their representative in the officialdom. In this way, Taiyue's chances of winning can be much greater. ww.

Wang Ji should have arrived in just a few days!"

Xu Luqing looked at his father and could clearly feel reluctant from his father's face. He was reluctant to leave him for decades, but in the end he had to leave the battlefield. Xu Luqing's tears flowed down involuntarily.

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

"Father……"

Luo Mansion.

Luo Xin looked at the letter in his hand, raised his hand and rubbed his temples, put the letter on the table, and murmured in a low voice:

"Would Wang Ji go to see Xu Jie first? Unfortunately, He Xinyin didn't have much information to me."

Luo Xin smiled bitterly on his face: "He Xinyin is a scholar of Xin, how can he support me? It was only considered cooperation before, and in the future it can only be cooperation."
