After a while, Xu Feixu saw that it was getting late, so she said goodbye and left. But before she reached the second door, she met Xu Huizu who was returning home from get off work.
The relationship between their siblings is very good. They stood together and chatted for a few words. If it wasn't really too late now, they might have talked for a while longer.
Finally, Xu Feixu mentioned: "Huizu, you should pay more attention to Miaojin's marriage."
Xu Huizu said: "Hey, I'm not uninterested, but now I don't like any of the noble children of the right age in Beijing. They are not worthy of Miaojin. Those who are lower class and have inappropriate status. Sister, you three
We are both royal concubines, so we cannot marry Miao Jin into an ordinary family."
Xu Feixu also knew that Xu Miaojin's marriage was difficult to decide, so she just said: "You should waste your time. There are some good people in Peiping, but unfortunately their status is too low."
Xu Feixu added: "Have you met your brother-in-law?"
Xu Huizu said: "Of course I have seen it before, but I am too busy to talk much, so I went back to the backyard to change my clothes before going to the front yard."
Xu Feixu understood in her heart that although what Xu Huizu said was reasonable, it was also true that he did not want to have more contact with Zhu Di. Zhu Di was the vassal king, and his family was one of the top dignitaries in the Ming Dynasty. Although Yunxi now seems to be a
Magnanimous people do not taboo this, but it is better not to make random guesses about the emperor's thoughts, and it is better to be cautious, so Xu Huizu has not had much contact with Zhu Di.
Xu Feixu said a few more words to Xu Huizu and went out. Zhu Di had also finished talking to Xu Zengshou at this time, and then declined Xu Zengshou and Xu Huizu's request to stay for dinner after changing clothes, and left with Xu Feixu.
.
On the way, Xu Feixu and Zhu Di said, "Did you tell my fourth brother anything useful?"
Zhu Di said: "The main thing is some things that happened in the capital. After all, the Di newspaper is a dry text, which is not as clear as Xu Zengshou. As for other things, there is still nothing. Even in Beijing, Xu Zengshou has no idea that Yunxi may be the next one."
Where will the sealed place be?"
"It seems that if you want to recommend yourself, you can't do it. You don't even know the place. How can you recommend yourself? When we find out, we won't have time to react in Peiping, so we should wait."
Zhu Di didn't want to say more about this matter, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Did you hear what Xu Huizu said about why Yunxi asked the Xu family to prepare for the wedding of your third sister?"
Xu Feixu said hurriedly: "No, he didn't tell me at all. Please tell me what's going on?"
Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou saw off Zhu Di and his wife. After returning to the lobby, Xu Huizu said to Xu Zengshou: "Hurry up and prepare for Xu Mengyu's wedding."
Xu Zengshou said: "What? Did he really let Prince An get married regardless of filial piety?"
Xu Huizu sat down and said: "You didn't go to court today because you probably didn't go out because of King Yan's coming. Your Majesty has already decided during the court today that from tomorrow, all the royal family members, civil and military officials will be killed
Cui Fu will only serve for one year. If you still mourn your deceased parents in your heart, you can mourn at home, but it will not affect your loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and your marriage."
Xu Zengshou also sat down, but said sarcastically: "He made the decision himself, but let King An be the first to implement it. He himself would not have much criticism, after all, since ancient times, emperors have exchanged the sun for the moon.
But my third brother-in-law will be criticized."
Xu Huizu said: "It won't be like what you said. His Majesty has issued an order, can King An obey it? Everyone knows it."
"Don't talk about it. Your Majesty has already asked Qin Tian to select the auspicious days of the zodiac. Their six rites have already been completed. If the late emperor hadn't passed away suddenly, the wedding would have been held last year. It would have been held at the end of June or early July.
It’s a wedding.”
"The dowry and other things have been prepared a long time ago, but you have to worry about the other things." Although Xu Huizu is the head of the Xu family, Xu Zengshou takes care of the daily affairs at home, so Xu Huizu asked Xu Zengshou.
Although Xu Zengshou was dissatisfied with Yun Xi for holding the wedding so early, he still attached great importance to his sister's wedding. Hearing this, he also said: "I understand."
Xu Huizu told him a few more words about the wedding, and finally said: "Zengshou, you should stay away from King Yan in the future. There is no benefit to our family from having more contact with His Highness King Yan."
Xu Zengshou said dullly: "Yes." Although he was not willing to accept Xu Huizu's words, he would not talk back to Xu Huizu on the spot.
However, Xu Huizu also knew that Xu Zengshou just said it casually, just to give himself face, and he would still contact Zhu Di when he should contact him in the future.
"Fortunately, Zhu Di is in Peiping, so there is nothing he can do if he wants to have more contact." Xu Huizu thought this way.
That night, in the south of the capital, it looked like a place where a businessman stored goods, but in fact there was an independent house, and several people met here again. (Chapter 242)
One of them said: "Your Majesty actually wants to admit students by province starting from next year's joint examination. The entire Zhejiang Province and the Zhili region only have 23% of the quota. Even if 100 people are admitted at a time, there will only be 20% at most."
Thirteen of our people entered the court. The emperor is trying to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron!" Although his voice was soft, it was full of anger.
Another voice sounded: "Moreover, it is impossible for Zhejiang and Zhili areas, especially Zhili, to have all our people as officials. In this way, we will not have an advantage in the officialdom."
"And he still hasn't changed Zhu Yuanzhang's discriminatory strategy against us. Pan Ren's offer of including us Zhejiang people as household officials was rejected again. Although it was rejected as a whole and not targeted at us Jiangsu and Zhejiang people individually, it was also concealed.
But we.”
Another voice rang out and said: "It seems that the method of silencing the drums previously decided will not work. In order to protect our interests, we must go against him."
"But you still need to think about how to deal with it. We should try our best to provoke other people, and don't let our people take the lead. Although the people who can mix in the officialdom are not rookies, they may not be able to provoke them."
Another person said: "But the current emperor is not stupid, I'm afraid it will not be easy. What should we do first?"
The person in front said: "First, we need to increase the power of the fourth auxiliary officer!"
"Although the fourth auxiliary officer is still far behind the former prime minister, the emperor's energy is limited and he will always leave many things to the fourth auxiliary officer. Our purpose is to make this process as fast as possible. As long as we can make
The fourth auxiliary officer has the power of the former prime minister, so we have the opportunity to push one of our own people into the position of the fourth auxiliary officer and regain the power!"
"Don't just focus on what's in front of you. The current emperor's position is stable and not biased towards us. It is estimated that there is no possibility in the Jianye Dynasty. But we still have descendants, and there will always be outstanding talents to succeed, but the one who sits on the throne may not always be
Even if we can’t achieve wisdom, we still have to pave the way for our descendants!”
Others were a little moved after hearing his words. They also knew that there was little hope of opposing Yunxi, but no one was willing to admit defeat verbally. But this man had decided to sacrifice his own generation to pave the way for future generations.
He said it clearly. Whether he said it clearly or this kind of sacrifice for the next generation, they had to be moved.
After a while, one person said: "It would be great if there was something within the royal family that could be used."
