.How did silence get involved with Duke Ding? This has to start with the genealogy of the Old Xu family.

The first Duke of Ding, Xu Zengshou, was the founding father of the founding king of the country. Duke of Wei posthumously named Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan. Speaking of Xu Da, only Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty can be compared. As we all know, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty was the worst in all dynasties. Under the butcher's knife of Emperor Zhu, there were few people who died well, regardless of civil and military affairs. However, the first meritorious official Xu Da was the exception. Not only did he die in his prime, he had a queen and two dukes. And they all reproduced and continued to this day, and they were prosperous and prosperous. They can be said to be the well-deserved second surname in the world.

After Xu Da's death, his eldest son Xu Huizu inherited his father's title. Although he was deprived of his title and died after the Jingnan Dynasty because he refused to submit to Zhu Di, his father was his father-in-law, his sister was his queen, and his younger brother was his hero, Zhu Di still asked Xu Huizu's eldest son to inherit the title.

This founding Duke of the State has been in Nanjing, and it has been passed down to the current seventh generation of Duke of Wei, Xu Pengju, who was the admiral of the Nanjing Jingying.

As Xu Da's youngest son, Xu Zengshou was of course not the turn to assault his father's title, but he still served as the official in his father's honor. He became the first-rank left governor in a few years! After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Emperor Jianwen suspected that his brother-in-law, King Yan Zhu Di, rebelled, so he went to ask him stupidly, whether your brother-in-law was going to rebel? Of course, Xu Zengshou knelt down to Zhu Yunfen at that time, and said, "My brother-in-law and your father are brothers, and they are extremely rich, why should they rebel!" The kind Zhu Yunfen believed it, but Xu Zengshou turned around and reported the matter to his brother-in-law.

After Zhu Di rebelled, Xu Zengshou acted as an insider again and informed Zhu Di several times of the deployment of the ZF army. Later, it was discovered by Emperor Jianwen, but he did not ask him for advice. After the Yan army crossed the Yangtze River, Emperor Jianwen questioned him in person. Xu Zengshou could not answer that Emperor Jianwen, who felt deceived, let down, insulted and damaged, angrily killed the fang under the palace.

Zhu Di regretted the death of his brother-in-law. After entering the city, he hugged Xu Zengshou's body and cried bitterly. He then posthumously named him Duke Ding and posthumously posthumously Zhongmin. His son Xu Jingchang inherited his title... This Duke Jingnan who was exchanged for his life later moved north with Zhu Di, and returned to the general's mansion when Xu Da was in Beijing... That is, the current Duke Ding. Although there were many accidents afterwards, it was repeatedly restored. It was reported that Xu Yande was the sixth Duke of the State, and he happened to be the same generation as Xu Pengju in Nanjing.

The Duke's Mansions of the two countries, which were in common with each other, were strangers for a long time. Because Duke Xu Huizu of Wei was loyal to Emperor Jianwen, when Zhu Di entered the city, he hid in Xu Da's ancestral hall and refused to come out to worship. Later, he was stripped of his residence until he was placed under house arrest. Therefore, the people in Duke of Wei's mansion have always regarded themselves as loyal ministers, and believed that although Duke Ding helped his brother-in-law, it was contrary to Xu Da's name of loyalty in general, so he cut off relations with them. Later, one moved north with Chengzu and the other stayed in Nanjing. The two sides were thousands of miles apart, and they were even more unhappy.

The two of them talked for a while, and Xu Wenbi was carrying a tea set, followed by a 15 or 16-year-old maid, carrying a pot of boiling water, and appeared at the table again.

Tea, tea, and water, one is tea, and the other is water. If there is good tea but no good water, the tea soup brewed must not be the right taste. Of course, the water that is better than snow in Longyuan is also the best, and it is sweet and clean, fresh," Lu Yu said in the "Tea Classic": The water is used on the mountains and rivers, in the rivers, and under the wells. The mountains and rivers, pick the milk springs, and the stone ponds flow up. The water that boils tea is the mountain spring water at the top of Yuquan Mountain, which fully meets the standards of mountains and rivers, milk springs, stone ponds, and flowing. It only takes a day to transport it back from Yanjiao, and the water quality will inevitably degrade. However, filtering with that device, the spring water will return to sweetness, which is just worthy of the emperor in the tea.

While telling Chen Si's origin, Xu Wenbi gently placed the prepared tea set, refreshments and a tin tea pot on the table.

He waved his hand to let the maid go, and the prince personally made the soup, ordered the soup, divided the milk, added water, warmed the cup, and served tea. All of them were done very carefully and carefully.

After the tea was finished, Xu Wenbi gently sent two pear cups with half a cup of green tea soup to Chen Mo and his father, and smiled and said, "Please taste tea." During this process, Chen Mo and Xu Yande didn't say a word, and kept paying attention to the entire brewing process." Then he made a move to each other, and looked at each other with a smile. Then he picked up a pear cup and sent it to the tip of his nose to smell it.

Silent shook his head gently, closed his eyes slightly and said, "This fragrance is much more elegant."

"Oh, sir?" Xu Yande was a little surprised.

He nodded silently and said softly: "But it is not as elegant as this, it can be seen that the skill is not in vain."

"Please try the tea soup again." Xu Wenbi urged him to silently say as if he was greatly encouraged.

I took a sip first, put it in my mouth for a moment, then swallow it slowly." The expression of enjoyment appeared on my face and said, "The entrance is soft and soft. When I swallow it in my stomach, there is a refreshing fragrance floating up." As I said, he chanted softly: "The sparse fragrance and white teeth have a lingering smell, and I feel that the heart of the crane is clear and unconscious..."

"It's so good, every sentence is about people's hearts." Xu Yande had already drunk two drinks and said, "But Lord Shen is busy with all kinds of things every day, I'm afraid he's a heart."

"Yes, it's rare to have half a day of leisure in life." Silently put down the teacup and said with a wry smile: "I'm here to visit my husband today." In fact, there are still some trivial matters to discuss with you."

Xu Yande looked at Xu Wenbi, shook his head silently and said, "Why should the prince avoid it? Let's listen together."

The Xu family’s father and son were just pretending to behave, just waiting for his words.

"One is the case that the Hou of Dongning took over as the admiral of the Beijing camp." Silently said: "He was unsure and pretended to be sick at home. I want to invite the Duke to broaden his heart."

"Oh..." Xu Yande drank a while, put down the teacup, and said slowly: "Our family doesn't speak two families, I'll call you brother. Brother, the reason why I have never expressed my opinion." First, this job is to be the Duke of the State, and the Dongning Hou is still missing a lot in terms of qualifications. I am worried that the other two families will have opinions; second, I heard that the court replaced the Dongning Hou and insisted on doing that and training troops in separate camps." This is very resentful among the officers and soldiers. Wang Shangshu was beaten a few days ago. "I have to consider the consequences." After being familiar, I am not polite when it comes to the real thing.

"The old man is a good country." Nodded silently, "I'll give you a briefing to my brother." The Lin Run investigation report published in the daily newspaper, "is actually just an excerpt to avoid the important things, and there are 80,000 words of real materials lying in the cabinet. The official will not disclose it, and Master Xu has not made up his mind."

Xu Yande's pupils shrank significantly and he smiled and said, "What can't be made public?"

"I think it's better not to be public." Chen Si said lightly: "The report said that weapons, armor, chariots, war horses, quilts, none of them are qualified. They all have serious use as inferior products, and even more serious use overdue... For example, chariots should be replaced once every five years, but most of them were produced thirty-five years ago by Jiajing, which was earlier than the time I used for the country. For example, war horses, according to regulations, serve two to eight years old, but the war horses in the three camps are not only seriously short of equipment, but they are almost impossible to find under ten years old..." As he said, he sighed: "The imperial court has been a little tight in recent years, but no matter how tight it is, he never thought about reducing military expenses. The equipment purchase, update fees, and all normal expenses reported by the Ministry of War every year have always been given priority. If it is allocated in a few seconds, what is the money going? The cabinet and the cabinet, you can't ignore an explanation!"

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn. Xu Wenbi looked at Chen Mo and his father with breath. Seeing that the two of them looked serious, he did not dare to say a word.

"This... sir should ask the Ministry of War." Xu Yande said: "The authority purchased by military supplies has always been controlled by the Ministry of War. The military cannot interfere. They are all sending and what we use..."

"Why don't you raise objections to the court?" said silently: "Has the court even seized your voice?"

"It's useless to say something." Xu Yande sighed, looked at the silent with complicated eyes: "This is the national situation, so it's rare for everyone to be confused."

"Georg Xu is willing to be confused! I am willing to be confused!" said silently: "But the censors of the court will not agree! Now the consensus has been formed in the court. "The country is the first in the country and the first in the north, and the slogans are louder and louder, especially those young officials, who have long been unable to withstand the invasion of the Tartars every year, and the humiliation of martial law in the capital year by year, and I wish I could expel the Tartars and seal the wolf's servants in the next moment! However, the Beijing camp where they had high hopes was found to be "gold and jade outside, and the furious catkins were in the middle of the battle". The disappointment was as vast as the sea! As long as the cabinet was not within the deadline, give a satisfactory treatment, and the bullet stamps were splashed all over the sky, and I, Shen, resigned, and the cabinet still had to thoroughly investigate the matter!"

When he thought of those censors who were crazy like beasts, Xu Yande finally changed his face. The inheritance of the Duke of Ding Kingdom was not invincible, otherwise he would not have been deposed several times. He really didn't want to understand the censors' three axes... so he forced a smile and said, "Brother, don't scare brother."

"Brother, although I did not kill the chicken head or burn yellow paper, I was like a brother." Silently said earnestly: "You are his most beloved brother, so I treat you as my most beloved brother. You said, can I harm you?"

"No..." Xu Yande shook his head.

"What I said to you just now." Chen Si said softly: "In fact, we are to let you know the direction of the wind. We can seek benefits and avoid harm and act first."

Yan De nodded. He had been knocked and pulled by silence, and he was a little dizzy. He could only follow him first: "Brother, what should you do with your brother?"

"Please believe that with me here, the cabinet will not make things difficult for us." Chen Jing said with a sincere face: "And Master Xu is the first to govern." Although he supports the reform of Beijing's business, he hopes that there will be a gentle and gentle process that everyone can accept. This requires the three parties to cooperate with each other, openly and honestly, and jointly achieve this goal."

"Oh..." Xu Yande's mind was a little confused, and he pondered while serving tea. Xu Wenbi continued, "Can Uncle Shi ask my nephew to say a few words?"

"Please speak, Prince." Silent jaw said with a smile.

"The current situation of the Beijing camp you mentioned," my nephew fully agreed. In the past, he worked with his father in Fengtai. He knew that "the camp and army are all scattered, and the people and horses are just useless," Xu Wenbi was a young man after all. He spoke sharply and had no breath, but he knew silently that he wanted to suppress his head, so he just smiled and nodded, and listened to him, "We support the reform in our hearts." However, the difficulty is that the Beijing camp has accumulated a hundred years of corruption and has changed its flavor. It is no longer the tremendous force of the sky. The lower part is a royal army that is more important than the army, and is just a guy who eats from the army. To put it bluntly, there are more wolves in the capital, but few meats, but they are more noble. Each family has to be extravagant and decent, with too much sales, but too little investment, and there is no money elsewhere, so we can only make an idea here. With the support of our uncle in Nanjing, we have never reached out and we can't cut off other people's wealth. Therefore, during the years when my father was in power, he could only turn a blind eye."

Seeing his words, he filled Xu Yande's hole and couldn't help but smile silently, thinking that this kid looked at Sisy and gentle, was actually bold and shameless, had a future and had a future!

Seeing him laughing, Xu Wenbi said guiltily: "Although my nephew said it a little straightforwardly, it is the fact." He added: "Besides, the atmosphere of the Beijing camp was not ruined by the old and old, but the eunuchs in the military supervision since the Xuande period, eroding military funds, stolen generals, occupying military service and buying idleness, and wasting training. He had long ruined the Beijing army... Although the late emperor withdrew all the eunuchs in the military supervision camp and handed over the Beijing camp to us, it was already difficult to return and the gods were hard to cure: and the eunuchs eroded the Beijing camp, but it had not stopped, but changed from open to dark, and changed the way. We were powerless to stop, so we could only try our best to maintain the training of tens of thousands of people to repay the kindness of the late emperor.

Chen Si then stopped smiling and said, "What method?"

"The production of military supplies is all controlled by them..." Xu Wenbi said with a slutty mouth.

"Haha..." Silent smiled and said with a smile: "The prince is not bad, I have completely cleaned the prince."

"That's what it was." Xu Wenbi said relieved.

"Since those military supplies factories are all eunuchs," Chen Si said with relief: "That's great, I thought it was yours."

"Why... it's so good?" Xu Wenbi felt something was wrong.

"We have collected enough evidence to ban these at any time and dare to harm the black factories of the court with fake and shoddy!" said silently: "I just don't know if it is related to the nobles. Now the prince proves that our worries are redundant! Of course it's great."

"Didn't it?" Xu Wenbi said with difficulty: "To take action?"

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is needed." Silent nodded and said, "The prince is waiting for good news." Xiaobian, you want to play with me, but you are still a little tender.

"ah……"

"Don't listen to the child's nonsense, he doesn't understand anything.

"Xu Yande had to go back and let Xu Wenbi, who was about to cry, take his tea leaves obediently. The old man looked at him silently and said, "Sir, you know the truth. You are not a fool anymore. Just say what you plan to do." The subtext is, if I can agree, I can't agree.
