After the Fei brothers left, only Xu Jin and Xu Jie were left in the study, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressed. Xu Jin glanced at Xu Jie lightly and found that the latter was not as nervous as before. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and at the same time he had a little more appreciation. This is a famous political master in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and his determination alone is far beyond his peers.

Xu Jin removed the teacup in front of the two, changed into the wine glass, and said, "I have Shaoxing rice wine, aged flower drawings, Luzhou Daqu, and barley wine brought back from the Western Regions. Which one do you want to drink?"

Xu Jie said: "It's better to come to Shaoxing Yellow Wine Bar, I can't get used to the others."

Xu Jin smiled and said, "I remember that Shaoxing Prefecture is not far from Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture. I believe that you Huating people are all used to drinking Shaoxing rice wine."

Xu Jin said as he put the wine pot on a small red mud stove to heat it.

Xu Jie nodded, and said with a look of remembrance on his face: "My father loved to drink Shaoxing rice wine when he was born. Now every time he went back to his hometown to pay homage, the officials would prepare a pot to his grave. In the past, I always felt that my father was nagging, but now I can't do it if I want to listen to his teachings. My son wants to support him but his parents are not waiting for him. The ancients really did not deceive me."

Xu Jin was silent when he heard this. He had never seen his parents in his life and did not know what they looked like. Although his parents in his previous life still remembered it, the two lives had been too long, and their parents' voices, appearances and smiles had become a little blurred.

The two chatted casually, and the rice wine was soon warmed up. Xu Jie picked it up first and poured a glass for Xu Jin, then poured another glass for himself, and apologized: "The officials originally wanted to use public opinion to force the emperor to execute Bi Chun, but they would also relieve this villain. Unfortunately, there was a mistake in the matter, which also caused Fei Minshou and Fei Minxian, causing trouble to Prince Beijing. The officials hereby compensate the prince."

Xu Jin said lightly: "Although your method is stupid, it is still useful. At least it aroused the emperor's vigilance. He will definitely restrain the factory guards in the future, but you have ignored it a little."

Xu Jie bowed his hand and said humbly: "I'll ask the prince for advice."

Xu Jin took a sip of yellow wine and said, "You have ignored that the emperor needs a knife, a sharp knife that can make everyone shut up. Even if it is a rabbit and a dog, you have to wait until you are obedient. As long as the emperor needs Bi Chun, a bad guy in one day, let alone the six major crimes, even if Bi Chun cannot defeat him, unless it is a crime of rebellion, let alone Queen Wu behind Bi Chun."

Xu Jie clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Do you just let Bi Chun continue to do whatever you want? In the past six months, there have been more than a hundred scholars who died in the Xichang Prison. Those corpses are built up to be a mountain. How many families behind them have been separated by their wives and children. It's so miserable!"

Xu Jin looked at Xu Jie with an excited expression and couldn't help but feel a little silenced. It seemed that he had a bit of preconceived idea. Xu Jie was indeed a top political expert in history, but the master was not born, or was trained in one day. Xu Jie's "smart and conjecture" must have been learned after years of hard work. Now Xu Jie is about the same age as him and is less than a year old. Even if he is mature and persistent, it will only take seven or eight years to enter the political arena. Now, looking at his performance, he is still a little scholarly, so he probably misunderstood him. The other party did not deliberately drag him into the water.

Thinking of this, Xu Jin's grudge was eliminated a little. He lifted the wine shell and added a glass to Xu Jie and said, "Zisheng, don't be excited. I have only met the emperor not long ago. I also tactfully reminded the emperor that the emperor also promised to strictly restrain Bi Chun. I believe Bi Chun will be restrained in the future."

Xu Jie was happy when he heard this, but was immediately shocked. Not long after Xu Jin returned to the mansion, he should not have time to enter the palace, so the emperor came to the door in person? Tsk tsk, it is said that King Jian of Beijing is in the heart of the emperor. Now it seems that Xu Jin is indeed a sage and no one can match.

"Xu Zisheng, do you know why I took a detour back to Shangrao, Jiangxi this time?" Xu Jin asked leisurely.

Xu Jie hesitated and said, "Is the prince pursuing the officials, or do you want to hear what the officials say?"

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Of course it's the truth."

Xu Jie nodded and said, "Then the official said boldly that the prince's detours back to his hometown this time was just an excuse to postpone his return to Beijing. He simply wanted to avoid the conflict between the emperor and the minister of the charity. However, the prince's move seemed wise, but in fact it was unwise."

Xu Jin exclaimed lightly, "How do you say this?"

Xu Jie analyzed: "The ministers of the Protectors proposed to summon the prince, you will return to Beijing in triumph, with the purpose of using the prince's power to suppress Zhang Dang and stop the emperor's decision. The Zhang Dang did not oppose summoning the prince, and it was obviously malicious. They wanted to put you on fire. Because if you support the Protectors after returning to Beijing, you will inevitably go against the emperor, and you will be in danger of losing the holy family. If the prince obeys the emperor's wishes, it will inevitably lead to infamousness and even lose his reputation in the scholars."

Xu Jin praised: "Zisheng sees it quite thoroughly, so why do you still say that my king's approach is unwise?"

Seeing that Xu Jin didn't seem to mind, Xu Jie plucked up the courage and said, "The prince's move seems to have avoided this storm, but his reputation is inevitable. Zhang Party also took the opportunity to become a big shot. Although it is not a solid piece in the court, it is almost the same. Bi Chun and the eunuchs also took the opportunity to make trouble and rekindle. These are extremely unfavorable to the prince. In the long run, the disadvantages are far greater than the benefits."

Xu Jin was still moved, and couldn't help but remember what Lao Wang said to himself before his death: Xu Ziqian, as the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Some things are not something you can avoid when you want to. Lan Daoxing's bull nose is quite friendly with me. It may be beneficial to you when you walk around more in the future.

"Zisheng thinks that Zhang Party and the eunuch Party will definitely be in a dilemma with me in the future?" Xu Jin asked calmly.

Xu Jie hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, nodded and said, "It's not that the servant thinks, but that's sure."

"Oh? Tell me, take a look." Xu Jin said with interest.

"As the saying goes, one mountain cannot hide two tigers. With Zhang Cong's aura, he will definitely not be able to tolerate the prince, otherwise he would not use this matter to plot against you. Bi Chun is the Queen Wu's man, so he will not let you go."

Xu Jin's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Why?"

Xu Jie felt a little weak and said with a thorn in his mouth: "Because... Concubine He."

The disputes in the harem are often the disputes over the throne, and Xu Jie dared not speak too explicitly, but just pointed it out in a vague way. After all, he was not at the level of heart-to-heart talk about Xu Jin. Of course, Xu Jie had already fully expressed his sincerity when the conversation between the two sides could reach this depth.

Xu Jin's eyes slowly calmed down, and finally returned to calmness. He smiled and said, "Xu Zisheng, you are quite brave. Do you dare to say such words? Are you not afraid that I will leak them to the emperor?"

Xu Jie's face was slightly pale, but he said, "The prince believes in the prince's character, let alone what is the benefit of leaking it?"

Xu Jin nodded and said, "It's really not good, but why did Zisheng choose this king? Concubine He may not have a prince."

Xu Jie met Xu Jin's gaze with his eyes intently: "The same thing is said. The emperor believes in the prince and agrees with the prince. Do you still remember what the prince said to Mao Cheng outside the Wenhua Hall? Today's prosperous Ming Dynasty is not as prosperous as Master Mao wishes, but it must be as the people of the Ming Dynasty wish. The Ming Dynasty has its current prosperous scenery, and it is inseparable from you, Prince."

Xu Jin smiled indifferently, picked up the wine glass and drank it all over and said, "It's getting late, it's cold and cold, so I won't keep you anymore. If you have anything to do, you can go directly to the mansion to find me, and it's not convenient to vote for a famous post."

Xu Jie was happy. The implicit meaning of Xu Jin's words was to accept him as a political ally, and everyone would be his own people in the future.

Xu Jie stood up and bowed deeply and said, "Prince Beijing was exhausted and the officials did not prevent you from resting. You will come to pay New Year's greetings after the New Year."

Xu Jin nodded and asked the butler Dabao to send Xu Jie out of the mansion himself.

At this time, Xiaoxue was still falling. Xu Jie walked out of the gate of Xu Mansion, got on the carriage and left. Before leaving, he raised the curtains and looked at the dusty residence opposite Xu Mansion thoughtfully.

Xu Jie's actions today are very bold, and he is still a little scared at this time. You should know that the battle for the throne that involves the throne is often extremely cruel. Once he stands in the wrong team, the path of the army will be destroyed at the worst, and the family will suffer. However, once he succeeds in taking the team, the rewards will be unimaginable.
