Xu Huizu asked him to sit down, with a look of hatred for iron and steel, looked at him for a long time, and saw that he was indeed ignorant, so he said helplessly: "Since the emperor decided to cut the domain, our Xu family has been in an embarrassing situation, and now, you, me, and the second child who is in the field, and the three of us brothers, are all in power and have become decorations."
The Xu family, there is only one sign left, don't you have any idea about the future of my Xu family?"
Xu Zengshou glared and said: "The emperor has such a heart, what can I think of it, isn't there still you?"
Xu Huizu glared at him and said: "Originally, the emperor used Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, with the intention of using him to replace my Zhongshan Palace, make him the first person in the military general class, and weaken the power of my Xu family, because behind my Xu family, there are three vassal kings in a row, and the emperor is not at ease, this, you are also aware of it."
Xu Zengshou sighed, and his face gradually calmed down.
Xu Huizu can of course put his heart into his heart for his brother, and he continued: "Promote Li and suppress Xu, this is the emperor's purpose, to transfer the military power and the influence of my Xu family in the army to the hands of Li Jinglong, whom he trusts, so that the emperor can feel at ease."
As for Huang Zicheng, who strongly recommended Li Jinglong, he has his plans, and his foundation is too weak Originally, Huang Zicheng was just a royal envoy, a professor of Guozijian, and an official from Wupin.
Fang Xiaoru is just a professor of Hanzhong Fuxue, an official from the ninth grade, two people ascended to the sky in one step, above the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and there are a few decades of cold windows and conscientious civil servants who are willing to be convinced Huang Zicheng strongly recommended Li Jinglong, let him make great contributions, and then use his military exploits to push him to the status of the first general, he can indirectly control the power of the military ministers through Li Jinglong, so as to balance the civil ministers who are not convinced by him, and truly control the court, even if he does not rely on the emperor's trust, he can also speak alone.
At this point, the civil servants must have seen that there was rejection of him as well.
But the emperor suppressed the martial arts and promoted the literature, this is the common interest of all the ministers, Huang Zicheng is the emperor's teacher, among them is the most contribution, in order to achieve this goal, they can only make some concessions to Huang Zicheng's ambitions.
After all, it is in the interests of all civil servants.
It's a pity that Li Jinglong's army of 800,000 was defeated.
At this time, the civil officials and the military generals and relatives of the court became allies again, and the common goal became Fang Huang and the others.
Although the emperor did not punish them, under such a momentum, they have no shame to continue to stand on the court, and now they have resigned from most of their positions, and it seems that they are idlers who only receive money and do not get involved in political affairs.
But they are still the emperor's subordinates, and they are still in power, but it is inconvenient to show up in public, and some power has to be shared with other civil officials.
The ultimate interests of the civil officials and Fang Huang are one, although they are dissatisfied with Fang Huang and his ilk being promoted by Emperor En Jian, they are even more unwilling to let the military generals have another chance to fight against the civil officials.
At this time, it would not be in their interests to continue to suppress Fang Huang, so after the purpose of this step was achieved, the fragile alliance between the civil and military forces would immediately break down.
Xun Qi military generals were just used as a gun by the civil officials, and now the civil officials appointed Sheng Yong as the commander of the rebellion, although Sheng Yong is a military general, but he is not a military general, nor is he from a Xun Qi faction, the foundation is too shallow, the prestige is too shallow, and there is Tie Xuan, a civil servant, to balance him, no matter how much he has credit, it is impossible to become the second King of Zhongshan, the second Cao Guogong, and it is impossible to unite all the military forces under his banner, do you understand?"
Xu Zengshou asked tentatively, "What does the eldest brother mean?"
Xu Huizu smiled faintly: "Third brother, it is inevitable that the martial artists will lose power.
The Wenchen used the cutting of the feudal domain to weaken the influence of the vassal kings on the imperial court; Use the rebellion to let the head of the Xu family, the head of the family, stand aside; took advantage of Li Jinglong's defeat to further weaken the power of all the Xun relatives in the court; Now, it uses Jian Ba Shengyong and Tie Xuan to balance and disintegrate the power of the generals. ” He leaned back on the chair and said with interest: "Look at it, just wait for King Yan to be defeated and the vassal kings to be completely wiped out, then it will be time for the cunning rabbit to die and the lackeys to cook."
At the beginning, it was Wenchen who advocated cutting the feudal domain; The one who presided over the government and commanded the rebellion was the civil minister.
Those who have great merit will be Wenchen, and the military merits of a hundred battles are not as good as a splendid article, and King Yan said that it is time for the Wenchen to celebrate each other, fully control the court, and drive the military ministers like lackeys. ” Xu Zengshou was moved when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was a great opportunity, and couldn't help but tentatively say: "Big brother, if this is the case, we should be on the side of King Yan." ” "Nonsense" Xu Huizu glared at him angrily and said, "You can say such a big rebellion."
Xu Zengshou shrunk his neck and muttered unconvinced.
Xu Huizu said angrily: "Third child, although King Yan has achieved some victories, and even defeated 800,000 soldiers and horses in the imperial court, it is only because Li Jinglong, the commander, is stupid and incompetent, not that he Zhu Di has the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth, and has the ability to fight ten times the army with himself.
King Yan, and even all the vassal kings, is impossible to succeed, he will be wiped out by His Majesty's army sooner or later, do you know that the civil ministers are above the military ministers, not only controlling the civil administration, but also the military and the political, this is an irreversible inevitability, do you know let go of these, the most important point" Xu Huizu Huo Ran stood up and said excitedly: "Father is loyal to Bao Daming, and his military achievements are impressive."
As soon as he heard him mention his father, Xu Zengshou also stood up busily, Xu Huizu said impassionedly: "My father was praised by Emperor Taizu Gao as the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I am a hero of the Ming Dynasty, after his death, they were all made by the Hanlin official, and the Shinto monument was erected, only my father, it was Emperor Taizu Gao who personally wrote the inscription and erected a monument for my father, and the Shinto monument was even bigger than Emperor Taizu Gao's own Shinto monument.
Such an honor, a hero of the Ming Dynasty, is the only one.
Emperor Taizu Gao even gave me the three generations of the Xu family are all princes, and the descendants have lords, and the country is resting in infinity, I am waiting for the country's grace, how can I have a trace of disrespect to the emperor No matter what the emperor wants to do, we can only obey, this is the way for ministers" Xu Zengshou rolled his eyes disapprovingly, and said: "Big brother, since this is the case, then what are you talking about so much, let's hand over the power, guard our Zhongshan Palace, rely on the farms and farms rewarded by the first emperor, and rely on the court's wealth, just be a rich man."
"You, you, can't you use your pig's head and think about something more?"
Xu Huizu glared at the third brother angrily and said, "The emperor's will, we as courtiers, we can't disobey it."
But my father spent his life for the Ming Dynasty, and assisted Emperor Taizu Gao to lay down this splendid country, and only then did he come to the second generation of you and my brothers, and he was willing to let the Zhongshan Mansion fall into obscurity, and it has since disappeared in the court."
Xu Zengshou said: "Big brother, I don't understand, what do you want to say after you talk for a long time?"
Xu Huizu said: "Haven't you understood, the vassal kings, the lords and relatives are going to be finished, the generals are going to stand aside, and the literati who are going to drive the future masters of the court and control the court must be the civil ministers, and among the civil ministers, Fang Huang must be the leader."
I asked my little sister to choose a dragon fast son-in-law for herself in this imperial examination, that is, for our Xu family, choose a way to ride the dragon, understand?"
Xu Zengshou hesitated and said, "Big brother, are you saying that we will take the initiative to lean on Wenchen's side."
Xu Huizu sighed: "Third child, you finally understand."
The chief examiner of this subject is Fang Xiaoru, the protégé of the Son of Heaven in this subject, and he is also his protégé.
He and Huang Zicheng are still favored by the emperor, but they don't care about any major matters.
Only wait for the imperial court to win a few battles, and that is when they are once again above the hundred officials.
My Xu family, although the power is now down, there are still connections in the court in the past, and the prestige is still there, to support a new science and technology scholar, so that he can be smoother in his career It is not easy for our Xu family's son-in-law will be the protégé of Fang Xiaoru, the emperor's most favored minister, we can use this relationship to connect with Fang Xiaoru, through his teacher, in the same year, and countless civil officials between the government and the opposition.
At that time, the Yan clan has been wiped out, and all the kings have been cut down, and the emperor will not be so jealous of our Xu family.
Do you understand that my brother has such good intentions?"
"I see" Xu Zengshou showed an extremely strange look in his big eyes, as if looking at a completely strange person: "Of course I understand."
The little sister is only fourteen after the New Year, and she is not in a hurry to get married at all, you are so impatient, just grab a line before the fall of the West Mountain, and build another line, take the line of filial piety, and take the line of the civil official, so as to fix the pet, right?"

Xu Huizu's face turned red, and he said with some annoyance: "You don't belong to this family, of course you don't need to think about it so much."
I'm not ignoring my little sister's lifelong happiness, this is not to take her with me, and ask her to choose a wishful husband by herself, what's wrong with killing two birds with one stone?"
"You're just having a troubled conscience" Xu Zengshou bluffed down the next sentence, turned his head and left.
Xu Huizu was furious and said, "Bastard come back for me" What answered him was a loud "bang", and Xu Huizu was so angry that he trembled.
There was nothing to do all night, and the next morning, Xia Xun was moving in the courtyard, and Zhang Xitong, the guest officer, suddenly walked into the courtyard, and when he saw Xia Xun, he winked at him, and said with a smile: "The messenger is really amazing, it was so hard last night, and he was so energetic early in the morning." ” Xia Xun laughed dryly and said: "My lord said that I laughed, early in the morning, His Royal Highness the prince hasn't eaten yet, is there anything wrong with my lord?"
"Oh" Zhang Xitong hurriedly handed over the invitation card in his hand, and said with a smile: "The Ministry of Rites is ordered, tomorrow evening, on Mochou Lake, to convene the scholars of the current branch to hold a poetry and wine event."
The squire took special care and invited the envoys of the two countries to attend with him. ” Xia Xun listened to it and took it with both hands, and said with a smile: "I will report to Your Highness below, Lord Shilang's good intentions, our Highness will definitely be happy to attend the meeting." ” To be continued:
