An inconspicuous carriage slowly drove into Wang Xuan's mansion in Xincheng, and two men in cloaks and hoods got out of the carriage.
Although it wouldn't cause much trouble if the court found out, it would be better if it could be hidden to save countless troubles.
At their request, Wang Xuan did not come out to greet them, and the two of them were taken directly to Wang Xuan's study.
Looking at the two people who walked in, Wang Xuan couldn't help but smile, "No matter how many spies there are outside the mansion, I can still keep secrets relatively well inside my mansion. What's more, when we get here, the two of them can't help but smile.
You can rest assured.”
Xu Hongji smiled heartily, untied his cloak and put it aside. He clasped his fists at Wang Xuan and said, "It makes Mr. Wuzhou laugh. I can't help it. I'm old and I'm afraid of trouble!"
Wang Xuan looked Xu Hongji up and down. This old man with a half-white beard but a strong spirit was the leader of the whole Xungui family in Nanjing and even Jiangnan. Although the Xungui family was suppressed by the civil servants, they could not control it at all.
The power of various military stations has also become extremely poor, but it does not mean that they do not have a certain influence. After losing most of the power of the military, these noble families put more energy into business and land, and the harvest is not good.
Xiao, this is why Wang Xuan is willing to take time to meet them.
When Wang Xuan was looking at Xu Hongji, the other party was also sizing him up. He looked younger than thirty, but he didn't look immature. His aura was as strong as the ocean, giving people a heavy pressure.
, a pair of dark eyes that are so deep that they seem to be able to see through the heart, making people unable to help but feel nervous.
Even when he saw him, the Duke of Wei, Wang Xuan had no intention of getting up to greet him. This was because he was too lazy to be polite. This did not involve so-called politeness. Both sides now represented two forces. On this occasion, Wang Xuan
To show your strong side.
Wang Xuan just glanced at Xu Wenjue next to him and ignored him. Just by looking at the other person's eyes and expression, Wang Xuan knew that he was angry that he didn't even get up to greet him. He didn't pay attention to the Wei Guogong Palace at all.
He doesn't care about this kind of guy who can't recognize the reality and values his status too much. He's too young.
As for the title of Wei Guogong, it really has no effect here. People, what matters in the end is their own strength. Fame and other things can only be the icing on the cake.
"Old Duke, please sit down. You don't look old. As for the trouble, it doesn't matter. It will come sooner or later."
"Having said that, I have to be cautious. After all, today is no better than in the past. Mr. Wuzhou is carefree and does not need to care about these messy things." Xu Hongji sighed and looked at the people around him.
Son, when he looked at Wang Xuan, he suddenly had the idea of throwing him back and returning him to the furnace. How could he inherit the family business like this? If he didn't leave a way out, once the world was in chaos, it would depend on his son's appearance. What would the Xu family have?
The disaster of annihilation.
Seeing Xu Hongji like this, Wang Xuan also smiled, "Jiangnan has become more and more prosperous in recent years, but it also reveals an aura of decadence. People are getting worse from generation to generation. There is nothing we can do about it. We are born in sorrow and die in happiness."
.”
"How difficult it is!" Xu Hongji shook his head and sighed. Even if he was willing, he couldn't find a suitable environment to train the next generation. "Forget it, let's not mention it. I came to visit Mr. Wuzhou today.
I want to ask a question."
"Oh, sir, please speak. Wang is all ears." Wang Xuan didn't say whether he would answer or not, he wanted to see what was going on.
"This Japanese invasion seems to be huge, but it must have been basically wiped out by sir at this moment. I don't know how you plan to deal with the Japanese country."
Wang Xuan raised his brows. He didn't expect that the other party would ask this question. In fact, he hadn't thought about it. Speaking of it, the Japanese country was just a scabies disease. It would not be difficult to defeat it if he made up his mind. After all, it was not like Southeast Asia.
The climate and other natural environments are completely different from those on the mainland, which is a natural obstacle to immigration and development.
The climate of the Japanese country is not much different from that of the northern Ming Dynasty. As long as it is conquered, it can be completely occupied after immigration. However, it is indeed a bit far away from Fujian and is inconvenient to manage. In addition, the population of Annan and other places is not enough now, even if it is conquered
When the Japanese came down, except for a large amount of gold and silver, there was really nothing gained.
And money... what is this? I, Wang Xuan, don't like money and have no interest in money!
In fact, no matter how much silver was produced in Japan, it would eventually flow into the Ming Dynasty, so for the time being, other than venting his anger, Wang Xuan could not find a good entry point for profit.
However, now that Xu Hongji has come over, Wang Xuan has other ideas.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the old prince would still care about this matter. Then I don't know what the old prince wants me to do with the Japanese country!" Wang Xuan crossed his legs and looked at Xu Hongji with interest.
I saw the old fox laughing loudly and saying: "Mr. Wuzhou is domineering. What do you mean by this? In your eyes, the Japanese country is like fish on the chopping board. You can do whatever you want with it?"
"You can hold the snail with three fingers, and you're sure of it. They won't be able to make any waves!" Wang Xuan said casually, snapping his fingers.
"Oh!" Xu Hongji's eyes lit up, he looked at Wang Xuan with burning eyes, and said word by word: "Sir, are you so sure!?"
"What's the matter? It seems that the old prince wants me to go to the Japanese country!" Wang Xuan was immediately interested. This was the first among the top officials of the Ming Dynasty to say that he wanted to expand overseas, which really made Wang Xuan look at him in a different light!
"That's exactly what I mean. In recent decades, a small barbarian country like Japan has been extremely restless. Japanese pirates have repeatedly invaded our sea areas, killing thousands of our people and causing countless losses every year. If it hadn't been beyond our power, we would have
I have long wanted to lead troops to show this small country a little bit of color, so that they know what it means to be a kingdom in heaven and what it means to be a state of majesty..."
Seeing Xu Hongji's impassioned look, Wang Xuan suddenly said, "Tell the truth!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Uh..." Xu Hongji was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this is not Jiangnan, and this is not a place where they talk nonsense. According to the information he learned, this
Wang Xuan hates when others talk in roundabout ways.
Wang Xuan once said: "Isn't my time worthless? Listening to you talking about some nutritious bullshit here, wasting my time is a waste of my life. If you dare to waste my life, have you lived enough?
Build yourself a statue!”
"Hahaha, Sir, please don't be offended. You are used to it. I really hope that Sir can fight over it and completely occupy the Japanese country. It is best to be like Annan and completely eliminate future troubles!" Xu Hongji did not care about Wang Xuan's plan at all.
He felt embarrassed and his son was dumbfounded.
What's going on? When did the dignified Duke Wei become so talkative? If he were in Jiangnan, no one would dare to scold his father like this, and his father would never be so talkative. The majesty of Duke Wei's mansion cannot be violated.
Moreover, dealing with these words like Annan, he couldn't believe that it came from his father's mouth. After the news of Wang Xuan's massacre of Annan spread in Jiangnan, he was reviled by thousands of people, saying that he was a cold-blooded butcher who killed people.
The crazy demon has ruined the tradition of the ceremonial state of the heaven.
For thousands of years, China's demeanor as a great country, its tolerance for the world, and its majesty when all nations come to court have relied on benevolence and righteousness, tolerance, virtue, and enlightenment!
Anyway, in Jiangnan, Wang Xuan's reputation was so bad that it stinked beyond recognition.
His father actually made such a request today. If word spread, wouldn't the Duke of Wei's palace be completely ruined?
Thinking of this, Xu Wenjue couldn't help shouting, "Father, you must not do it. Such bloody killings are not different from barbarians. As a result, the reputation of our Duke of Wei for hundreds of years will definitely be lost, and there will definitely be something in the history books."
It is recorded that such cruel acts are not the work of a gentleman. If we had not carried out enlightenment in the Japanese country, it would not take ten years for them to understand what propriety, justice, integrity and shame are, understand the dignity of superiors and inferiors, and practice the way of a saint, so that they will not waste the teachings of the saint."
"Ha, hahaha!" Wang Xuan couldn't help laughing. Looking at Xu Hongji's gloomy face, he couldn't help but said jokingly: "It seems that Mr. Ling is very serious about his studies and has already understood the 'deep meaning'. In the future
The achievements are bound to be limitless. There are successors in the lineage of Wei Guogong, congratulations, congratulations!"
This ridicule made Xu Hongji's face become even more ugly, so dark that it was almost dripping with water. The purpose of bringing his son out was to let him see the world and open his eyes. Who would have thought that he would say such a thing?
Make him feel ashamed.
"You scoundrel, you still won't shut up with me, I'm asking you to read something that's embarrassing to me, and you're going to read something like this to me!" Xu Hongji growled in a low voice through gritted teeth, with veins popping out on his face.
Xu Wenjue was petrified by his father's appearance. He had never seen his father so angry since he was a child. His ferocious face looked as if he wanted to eat someone.
Turning his head to look at Wang Xuan, Xu Hongji's expression was a little depressed, and he was a little decadent. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Geng made me laugh, this traitor, this traitor... ugh!"
He doesn't even know what to say, and he believes what others say. He is so childish that it makes people laugh. There is no successor to the Duke of Wei.
"Okay, old Duke, you don't have to be like this." Wang Xuan smiled and waved his hand, "The environment in Jiangnan is like this. If you tell a lie ten thousand times, it will become the truth. How difficult it is to tell the truth. After he has experienced several real situations,
After a severe beating, you will naturally understand the reason. With the body of the old prince, it is not a problem to persist for decades, so let's teach him slowly."
"That's all it can do. That's why I brought him out this time." Xu Hongji sighed.
"Boy." Wang Xuan turned to Xu Wenjue and said meaningfully: "For the sake of the old prince, let me give you a few words. First, it is better to have no books than to believe in books. Second, history is determined by the victors.
