"Master Guo, why are you here?" Xue Lu and Xu Jingchang went out to greet him together. When he saw Xia Xun, Xue Lu clasped his fists and grinned.【】
"Oh, Brother Xue, you were so seriously injured, why did you come out in person?"
Xia Xun was startled, and hurriedly came up to help Xue Lu: "Brother Xue, please walk slowly, your eyes are not swollen, your tui is soft, does your head still hurt?"
Xue Lu was greatly embarrassed and said sarcastically: "Ah, my lord, I have a little flesh wound."
Xia Xun said: "Brother Xue, you are just a face-saving person. What is our relationship? Why are we still hiding it? Can I still laugh at you? Jingchang, come here, support me over there!"
"Yes, uncle!"
Xu Jingchang was more familiar with Xia Xun and was more thoughtful than Xue Lu. When he saw Xia Xun like this, he knew that he was up to something bad. He hurriedly came up to him and supported Xue Lu from the other side: "Come on, come on, wait a minute.
Let's go, we've reached the threshold, raise your tui..."
Xue Lu, who was so awkward, was held by the two of them like a puppet and carried back to the living room.
The generals were twisting their huge buttocks one by one, making the Xue family's chairs and stools creak. They were cursing, and when they looked up, they saw that Xue Lu, who had just strode out to greet the guests, looked like a new daughter-in-law.
He asked the two Dukes to help him back, which shocked them all. They quickly stood up and shouted to Xia Xun first: "The general has seen the Duke!" Then he asked Xue nervously.
Lu: "Brother Xue, what's wrong with you? Weren't you fine just now?"
Xia Xun handed it over with a look, and Xu Jingchang said sternly: "What a fart! What's so good? Lao Xue was beaten until his head was split open, and he almost died. Is this a good thing? Look at him,
The hair is like a gossamer, the face is as white as paper, and it looks like there is only one breath left. Is this still a good thing?"
The officials looked at Xue Lu. He had a big black face, his eyes were bigger than a cow's eyes, his big face was shiny, and he didn't look like he was about to burp. Xu Jingchang said: "What, old Xue
Can this big face show off? Go back, don't grind your teeth here, be prepared when you go back, if Lao Xue can't survive these few days, everyone will be dead, and then prepare to follow the others!"
Xue Lu had a mournful face and muttered: "My lord, you don't have to curse me like this."
Those generals are all soldiers, how could they not be so thoughtful as to what Xu Jingchang said? Why don't they understand that this is to build momentum for Xue Lu? Although Ding Guogong is planning to do next, don't they?
Yes, but they just knew that there must be something to say here. The generals agreed in confusion and dispersed in a huff.
As soon as the generals left, Xia Xun let go of his hand and walked to the table, sat down and opened a teacup. He nodded three times, filled a cup of tea and held it in his hand.
Xue Lu walked over and asked, "My lord, which song are you singing?"
Xu Jingchang's eyes flashed slightly and he suddenly said: "Uncle, are we exaggerating Xue Lu's injuries in order to impeach Ji Gang?"
When Xue Lu heard this, he immediately became nervous. He was unwilling to fight this lawsuit with Ji Gang. If this lawsuit went to the imperial court, Dong Yuchun, whose origin was unknown, might have to dig out old accounts, rectify Ji Gang, and give himself
He vented his anger, but it made Yu Chun unable to hold his head up outside, and he was discriminated against by his relatives at home, which he didn't want to do.
Xia Xun held the tea in his hand and asked with a smile: "Then tell me, can Ji Gang be poured out?"
Xu Jingchang hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "Maybe he will be punished, or maybe he will be beaten again in order to appease the soldiers."
Xia Xun said: "That's it. If you can't defeat him, don't take action easily. When the two sides fight over each other and gain control, the emperor won't take it seriously.
Xia Xun also concluded that even if this matter was brought to the emperor, there would be no serious consequences, so he rushed here in a hurry.
Is Qiu Fu's matter serious? Is Xia Xun's behavior in Shandong serious? Just because the two of them are old men who have followed Zhu Di for many years and have made meritorious deeds many times without being severely punished. Ji Gang has nothing to do with them.
Compared with the mistakes he made, they were nothing. Would Emperor Yongle beat Ji Gang, who had resolutely surrendered to him when he was in the most critical situation, and held his horse and put the stirrups for him as a living being, so that he could not stand up?
Thinking about it with your buttocks, it's absolutely impossible.
When Xue Lu heard this, he immediately felt relieved.
Xu Jingchang said suspiciously: "Uncle, since it is not to impeach Ji Gang, why do you ask him to pretend to be so serious? Being beaten is already embarrassing enough, and the injuries are exaggerated. What do we want?"
Xia Xun looked at Xue Lu and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Xue, there are four ways for you to take now. Let me tell you one by one, which one do you choose?"
"So many?" Xue Lu's reaction made people laugh: "Uh, sir, please speak."
Xia Xun said: "This time, we will impeach him on your behalf and ask the emperor to punish him and give him a good beating. Secondly, we can just tolerate this matter. The big thing will be reduced to a small matter. If it is a trivial matter, you will be business as usual tomorrow."
When I went to work in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, I just thought it was because the two of them were at odds with each other. I suffered a small loss and my skills were just inferior to others. There was nothing to be ashamed of: Third, this matter is over like this. You can follow.
He has the same discipline as fire and water. Whenever you get the chance, you will fight with him. If you can't kill him, you will disgust him and make him less happy!"
Xue Lu stared at a pair of big bull eyes and said: "What about the fourth one?"
Xia Xun said: "Fourth, give in to him, tolerate him, be afraid of him, if someone steps forward for you. When the emperor asks, cover him up one by one...,
Xue Lu's eyes widened when he heard this, and his breathing became heavier and heavier. If the person in front of him hadn't been a prince, he would have slapped him with a big ear: "Is there such a truth in the world? This is too insulting.
He is a human being and I have been beaten, but I still have to treat him as an ancestor?"
Xue Lu said: "My lord, why should I do this?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "In order to let him die, will you do it?"

"Brother Zhang, I heard that General Xue of the Fifth Army Commander's Office called Ji Gang and was beaten!"
"No, people's brains are almost turned into dog brains!" "I heard that when he left the imperial city, his head and face were covered with blood, and he fell to the ground after leaving the imperial city. He asked someone to carry him home.
." "I know this best. I heard that General Xue's head was smashed. The doctor said that you must carry an umbrella when going out on rainy days..."
"Why?"
"Hey, brother Li, why don't you use your brain and pour rain on your head without holding an umbrella?"
"Oh my god! It's so serious, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you have to carry an umbrella when it rains..., isn't this nonsense? Who doesn't carry an umbrella when it rains? Which Menggu doctor gave this a bad idea? That head
If the melon blooms and floats, it will no longer grow? Are you soaking your brains every day? Would you still be able to survive?"
"
..."Probably because I'm afraid my scalp will catch a cold..."
"That's not right! Even if his scalp is afraid of catching a cold, the doctor can only tell him to wear a thick hat when going out in the winter. How can he be told to hold an umbrella when it rains? How can General Xue hold on? If he doesn't hold an umbrella on a rainy day, he will run away
"He was soaked in the rain?" "When I asked you how can you be so arrogant? I just meant that he was seriously injured!"
"You have to be reasonable in what you say. Can you justify what you say?" "Go, go, go! I won't bother with you today! I won't bother others when I see you!" "Do I care about you? You and I spend two days a day together.
Hatred, hatred in all corners of the country!"
"Don't be so shameless!" "You want to take action? I'm not afraid of you, brother!"
Somehow, the incident that happened in the palace spread to the public, and the matter became more and more evil. There were all kinds of rumors. When Ji Gang heard the news, he was also shocked. At that time, he was so angry that he wished he could
He beat Xue Lu to death. Afterwards, he heard that Xue Lu was so seriously injured, and he was really scared.
Xue Lu is a famous general of the Jingnan faction and a general that the emperor is very familiar with. If Xue Lu was really beaten to death for such a big deal, the emperor would not be able to spare him lightly, not to mention the emperor's treatment of Xue Lu.
Xue Lu valued Xue Lu very much. Even if it was just to give an explanation to Manchu Wu, the hero of Jingnan, and the generals of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor would have to "kill Ma Su with tears."
Ji Gang had spent two days in peace with his tail between his legs. Xue Lu actually appeared in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion again and went to work as usual. Ji Gang was relieved after hearing the news. Unexpectedly, he had been waiting for the generals of the army to ji.
Chen Ying, who had a strong backlash, saw the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief pinching his nose to endure the bad breath. She couldn't bear it anymore and actually jumped out to fight against the injustice.
Chen Ying instructed his subordinates to write multiple memorials in succession, impeaching Ji Gang for beating the minister for trivial matters and nearly causing death. He knew that Xue Lu was working normally and his injuries were not that serious. He had heard about the memorial.
First, attracting the emperor's attention. As long as he provokes a battle between Ji Gang and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, the merits will be complete. Who knows, he miscalculated again.
This Xue Lu was also a good man on the battlefield back then. Now that he is getting bigger and bigger as an official, he is getting less and less courageous. He did not dare to confront Ji Gang in front of the emperor. He only admitted that the two had a fist fight because of a quarrel and that he was not good at martial arts.
, I suffered a little loss, but now I am all healed, my waist is not sore, my tui is not hurting, it tastes good when I eat it, and my body feels great.
After hearing this, Zhu Di reprimanded the two of them severely and kicked them out.
Ji Gang left the palace, looked up to the sky, laughed three times, and walked away.
In the past, Ji Daguan people walked with their arms swaying. Now, when Ji Daguan people walk, they have reached the highest state of looking up at the sky and defying no one.
Official Ji returned to his home triumphantly, but he had to lower his head.
Because a guest came to his house, and the guest crawled to see him. He didn't even lower his head and couldn't even see what the guest looked like.
"who are you?"
Ji Gang crawled up to him on all fours with a smile on his face. He was over forty years old and quite white. Ji Gang sat down on the chair and raised his hand to invite the eight great vajra elders who came to the door.
Yao Yujian quickly handed the tea cup to his hand, turned around and shouted at the old white-faced man: "This is our Lord Ji! Please tell me your name!"
The old white-faced man was like a pug, almost wagging his tail at Ji Gang: "The common people's surname is Shen, Shen Du, the courtesy name is Jingzhi, and the surname is from Suzhou Prefecture.
Ji Gang asked Yu Jian impatiently: "Why did you bring this guy here?"
The old white-faced man smiled flatteringly and added, "Father Shen Wansan!"
