Zhou Shunchang and other Donglin civil officials learned that Xu Guangqi's mother Qian had died, just like a hungry wolf smelling the smell of meat, and they couldn't wait to immediately pounce on Xu Guangqi and put Xu Guangqi, who had long been despised by them, on the moral grill to refute it.But now, they have been gearing up for so long, but they have not been able to wait for the slightest movement to happen, so they are naturally a little upset and irritable, and they can't sit still.Yu Shi Lian also made up for Xu Guangqi from his own subjective point of view: "Could it be that Xu Guangqi concealed this matter because of his love for power, or did the Xu family deliberately conceal this matter from Xu Guangqi and hide it from the outside world in order to maintain Xu Guangqi's power?!"
”"It's a possibility!
He Xu Guangqi has just become the secretary of the Ministry of War, in charge of the privy council, and now he has the favor of the Son of Heaven, often in and out of the internal ban, and it is not necessary to enter the cabinet in the future, and it is even possible to obtain the same power as Zhang Juzheng, because now he can get the permission of the Son of Heaven to contact the military generals and ministers, and he Xu Guangqi is alone!
Therefore, Xu Guangqi must be reluctant to leave the court at this time. ”Zhou Shunchang also stood up immediately because of this, and the inference of practicing state affairs made him believe in it.And the more shrewd Qian Qianyi still frowned, and said: "Xu Guangqi shouldn't do this, this kind of thing, he should know that he can't hide it!"
What's more, he shouldn't really ignore filial piety?
”As he spoke, Qian Qianyi looked at everyone and said, "You say, could it be that this is not true?"
Didn't anything like this happen in Xu Guangqi's house?
”After Qian Qianyi asked, he looked at Zuo Guangdou: "Zuo Gong, is the source of this news reliable and reliable?"
”After Zuo Guangdou pondered for a moment, he said very seriously: "There will be no fake!"
The person who came with this news is a former dynasty veteran with a prominent position in my Shilin!
Its status is not inferior to Mr.
Donglin (Gu Xiancheng). ”Qian Qianyi knew who Zuo Guangdou was talking about, and he had to believe Zuo Guangdou's words for a while, and said: "Then it seems that Xu Guangqi is really likely to hide this news, or maybe the Son of Heaven deliberately asked Xu Guangqi to hide this matter!"
”"That being the case, we can't let filial piety fail, and we can't let such unfilial hypocrites stand above the court!"
Zhou Shunchang, who had already sat down, slapped the table at this time and stood up again."
This matter still has to Xu Guangqi take the initiative to resign from the official and ask to return to his hometown Ding Wei, so that even if the Son of Heaven wants to hide this matter, he can't hide it, so we might as well go directly to Xu Guangqi and ask Xu Guangqi about this matter, so that Xu Guangqi himself can ask Ding Wei to ask for Ding Wei, and also let Xu Guangqi or the Son of Heaven behind him know that he can't hide it from us if he wants to, and he can't hide it from the people of the world."
Zuo Guangdou put forward his own opinion at this time."
That's right!
Then go to the military department to see him Xu Guangqi. ”Lian Guoshi stood up as a result, put his hands behind his back, and said quite arrogantly.Other Donglin officials responded.As a result, a group of Donglin civil officials came to the yamen of the military department in groups.The entire thousand-step corridor suddenly poured into a large number of civil officials like a court meeting."
You're saying my mother has died?!
Where is this news, why doesn't Xu himself know?!
”Xu Guangqi was also shocked when he heard Zuo Guangdou and other civil officials say, looked at the other civil officials behind Zuo Guangdou, and guessed their intentions for a while.Zuo Guangdou also continued: "Da Sima, we believe that you are not this kind of person who disregards filial piety, but rumors are like knives, of course we believe that you will not hide this matter, but this matter may not be because Ling Zi Xu Ji is afraid that you will be sad and deliberately conceal it, you still write back to ask." ”"Yes!
Da Sima, you have to ask this matter clearly, often ask whether your parents are healthy or not, it is also the filial piety of the son of man. ”Zuo Guangdou also echoed at this time.Xu Guangqi nodded and said: "Don't worry, if it is really the dog who deliberately conceals this news, this church will not spare him, and if it is confirmed that there is something at home, this church will also give you an explanation!"
”"Excuse me!"
Zuo Guangdou and other civil officials had no choice but to leave.But Zhou Shunchang couldn't help shouting at this time, and called him by his name: "Xu Guangqi!"
You don't want to prevaricate, you don't hide it, you know it yourself!
”Qian Qianyi hurriedly pulled Zhou Shunchang away from here.Xu Guangqi's face became more and more ugly because of this.However, as soon as these people left, there was a messenger who came to pass a decree to Xu Guangqi to enter the palace, saying that the Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to see him.As soon as Emperor Zhu Youxiao saw Xu Guangqi and saw that he was uncertain, he took the initiative to say first: "I already know about this, and it is because of this that I summoned you!"
”And Xu Guangqi solemnly arched his hand and said: "Yes!"
Your Majesty, please. ”"Lingtang is fine!"
Zhu Youxiao said a word, and then said: "Wei Zhongxian, show him the secret copy that Dongchang hurriedly handed into Beijing." ”"Yes!"
Wei Zhongxian handed the secret copy of the Yidong Factory to Xu Guangqi.Xu Guangqi took it and flipped through it carefully, but saw that it recorded in detail what his mother Qian had eaten and drunk every day since last month, who she had met, what she said, who the doctor had hired, what medicine she had prescribed, and even the prescription had been recorded on it, and even Qian's sleep and waking up every night.This made Xu Guangqi feel very shocked, and said in his heart: "It turns out that my mother's side has already been full of people from Dongchang!"
”"Now believe me, right?"
Zhu Youxiao asked.Xu Guangqi knelt down with a thud, and swallowed even more: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
”He naturally knew that the sudden death of his mother must be because he was loyal to the king and was not liked by the Donglin party, but now he is in charge of the military department to assist the emperor in rectifying the government, and naturally he is not willing to let his career be abandoned halfway because he is worried that his mother will be killed.Therefore, when Xu Guangqi knew that Emperor Zhu Youxiao had been sending people to secretly protect his family, he was also very moved."
Pingshen, this matter is not enough to thank you, you can't have the heart of harming people, you can't have the heart of guarding against people, I just take precautions in advance, I can't let those of you who do things for the court still have worries, so that it is one of the responsibilities of Dongchang to reduce the internal assassination and shady deeds, so you can rest assured, as long as I am here, they can't do anything bad!
Playing these methods is really disrespectful to my Dongchang!
”Zhu Youxiao said and said: "If they come to ask again, you only need to tell them the fact that Lingtang has nothing to do, but I believe that they will not believe it, but you must not tell you that you know the facts from me, because Dongchang is secretly investigating a big case related to this matter!"
As long as the people behind the scenes are found out and dealt with strictly, they can be deterred!
”"Yes!"
Xu Guangqi replied.…… Therefore, Xu Guangqi continued to do things according to Zhu Youxiao's instructions.In the blink of an eye, in July of the first year of the Apocalypse, the mood of the officials of Donglin was as upset as the hot weather in the capital at this time."
It's been so long, has Xu Guangqi gotten any news from home?"
Zhou Shunchang asked impatiently.
