My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 7 Xu Zengshou's Legacy
Xu Jingchang looked up at the moon, but his heart was filled with joy.

It's not that he can become a high-ranking official, just a mere political envoy, nothing to worry about.What really pleased him was that more than ten years of workplace experience was finally useful.Even if the other party is Yao Guangxiao, a monstrous monk, he has tested his limits.

Zhu Di is wise and martial, with superb martial arts strategy. He overthrew Jianwen in a corner, and Jing Nan succeeded. He is definitely the ruthless man among ruthless people.

But I'm sorry, Zhu Di's team is really bad. The only one around who can barely be regarded as a civil servant is Yao Guangxiao, a strange monk with a strange background.

The rest are a group of warriors who are not top-notch. These people can deal with Jianwen, a rookie, but they are powerless to manage this huge Ming Dynasty.

Yao Guangxiao wanted to keep Fang Xiaoru's life because he wanted to bribe civil servants from all over the world. Unfortunately, Zhu Di didn't understand and killed Fang Xiaoru in a fit of anger.

This incident made Yao Guangxiao disheartened, and he wanted to avoid living in the temple, so he retired after success.

But the appearance of Xu Jingchang gave the old monk a hope.

The grandson of Xu Da, the nephew of Empress Xu, a hero who found both the founding of the country and the Jingnan, he also likes to read and is quick-witted.

When such a person enters the court, whether it is the old department of Huaixi nobles or the civil servants of the Manchu dynasty, they will gather around him, and naturally form a force.

As long as it operates properly, this force will definitely be able to counteract the Jingnan nobles headed by Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and others.

As the Son of Heaven, if he wanted to secure his position in the middle, he had to form a subtle check and balance in the court, and he couldn't be dominated by one family.

Just like now, Jingnan Xungui's momentum is like a rainbow, Zhu Gaoxu thought of coercing Xungui and forcing Zhu Di to canonize him as the prince.

If Zhu Gaoxu is allowed to do it, then who has the final say in this world?

Sitting on the dragon chair, but without absolute authority, and unable to say the same thing, what kind of emperor is he?
Xu Jingchang applied the office power model a little bit, and found that it is also applicable to the current Ming Dynasty. A department manager was parachuted down. In order to secure his position, the manager needs to promote new people, and also needs to win over a group of old people to maintain the operation of the department. this means.

Now that he has seen through Yao Guangxiao's cards, Xu Jingchang became even more calm.

"Master, look, the moon is shining brightly, and the shadows of the trees are dancing. I can enjoy the moon here, and I can spend the night happily. If I indulge in worldly affairs, fight with courtiers, think about suppressing the upstarts, work hard, and burn my head, it will be too much." One night. It's the same life, why can't I choose to be happy and relaxed?"

Yao Guangxiao gritted his teeth angrily, "Master, I remember correctly, you are only 15 years old, how can you relax at your age?"

Xu Jingchang chuckled, "Young Master, Emperor Wu of Wei has something to say, the old man has a long-term ambition. You have already assisted His Majesty to succeed in Jing Nan, but there is still a long way to go before being a famous official through the ages. Next, it is best for you to continue to assist His Majesty, do your best and die." Already, when the time comes, the young master will be able to compete with Zhuge Wuhou. I thought it would not be difficult at all to suppress the upstarts and balance the court with the young master's intellect, so why should you embarrass the late student?"

Yao Guangxiao only felt that his head was buzzing. Dealing with Zhu Di was not so difficult back then!This bastard didn't like anything, he was so unreasonable, he even wanted to dig Xu Zengshou out of the cemetery, and ask him how he gave birth to this thing?
But Yao Guangxiao is Yao Guangxiao after all, he still remained calm, "Young Marquis, I am just a monk, neither literate nor martial, without any foundation, all thanks to His Majesty's favor, I am old, and I am only a lonely minister when I enter the court. How about suppressing the upstarts and balancing the court situation? How about this, as long as the Young Marquis agrees to enter the court, the old man is willing to help, and His Majesty's first ascension to the Great Treasure is a good opportunity to show his skills, so why waste time?"

When the old monk said this, it was a showdown. I will support you, and you will charge ahead.

Fatty Zhu didn't get this kind of promise, otherwise, he wouldn't be forced into a mess by Zhu's second child.

Seeing Yao Guangxiao's conditions, Xu Jingchang also said: "Young Master, you see, I am the only one left in the Xu family right now. My father has already gifted Marquis Wuyang, and I plan to inherit the title. If you say this Don't you want to give up the hereditary and irreplaceable title if you lose the position of general administrator? I feel a little bit of a loss, and I hope the young master will understand."

Yao Guangxiao suddenly laughed, leaning back and forth, "Young Marquis, so you have something to ask for, I thought you just wanted to go fishing and watch the moon?"

Xu Jingchang said unceremoniously: "Fishing requires fish ponds, fishing rods, and bait, which are very expensive, and you need to be in the mood to watch the moon. You have no power or power, and you can't even eat enough. Everything looks like steamed buns. Where is the mood to admire the moon?"

Yao Guangxiao finally nodded, "You're right. If the old monk hadn't been favored by His Majesty, he wouldn't be able to live in the temple and live his life... Well, His Majesty told the old monk that he wants to make me Rong Guogong, according to the original intention of the old monk. , I don’t want it. Now it seems that I have to accept it, what do you think, Young Master?”

Xu Jingchang smiled. Yao Guangxiao took over Rong Guogong, and he was not so conspicuous in the court. At least when criticizing himself, he had to think about this unfathomable Young Master Yao.

The official ranks and titles bloomed twice.

This is not bad.

But not enough.

"By the way, young master, my uncle is still in the sky prison. His crimes have not been settled yet, and his life and death are unknown. I am still committing crimes against relatives. I am afraid that my life background is not clean and it will not be good for me to be an official."

Yao Guangxiao snorted and said, "Okay, I told Your Majesty that your Xu family has a gold medal for avoiding death! Let Your Majesty pardon Xu Huizu's crimes, and punish him to go to the grave of King Zhongshan to guard the spirit of his father and brothers every day. Daily chanting and repentance, what do you think?"

Xu Jingchang was in a good mood. With what Xu Huizu did, as long as he didn't die, he was considered lucky.I can also explain myself, and I won't be charged with ineffective rescue.

"In that case, I would like to thank the young master, but...the late student has one more thing to do."

Yao Guangxiao snorted, "Speak!"

"It's just late born who just lost his father. According to the theory, he needs to observe filial piety for three years. However, considering the many things in the court, I can only observe for a hundred days, so as to be filial. I hope the young master will understand."

"You let...dream!" Yao Guangxiao was really furious, "You are an old monk and you don't know the rules and regulations of the court? In my Ming Dynasty, civilian officials kept filial piety for three years, and nothing could be shaken, but you are a military commander. You don't need to guard for three years. Not even a day."

Yao Guangxiao was right. Just imagine, a certain general is fighting, and suddenly his parents die, and he has to go back to his hometown to observe his filial piety for three years. He has to change his commander in front of the battle, and he suffers a crushing defeat, which delays the important military affairs, so what should he do?
Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, generals did not need to observe filial piety.

"Young master Yao, even though that's the case, after I was transferred to be a civil servant, I still have to abide by the rules, otherwise my colleagues will poke my spine." Xu Jingchang said eloquently.

Yao Guangxiao looked at Xu Jingchang, didn't say anything, just raised his hand, and slapped down hard on the golden nanmu chess box, all his anger fell on the poor wooden box.

The old monk slowly retracted his palm, Xu Jingchang glanced at it, and saw a few broken lines on the box, which was shocking.

My God, this monk still has kung fu?
Xu Jingchang rubbed his forehead subconsciously, "Young master, when will you be reporting?"

Yao Guangxiao stood up slowly, "Tomorrow, I will go to the Ministry of Officials and meet His Majesty."

Xu Jingchang obediently agreed, not daring to neglect at all.

Yao Guangxiao just came out from the Xu Mansion, walked outside, stood under the moonlight, the old monk had a wry smile on his face, decades of restless Zen mind, this boy was stunned.

A person who persuades the monarch with his words, but uses his fists instead, has already lost.

"Sin, sin!"

……

The next day, Xu Jingchang got up early. He had the status of Jinyiwei Qianhu, which was bestowed by Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and he only received his salary and did not work.

Xu Jingchang asked Xu Yi to dig out his clothes, put them on himself, and said, "Go and build a shed in front of your grandfather's grave, and prepare a fire for the bed, uncle will need it later."

Xu Yi was shocked, and after a while, tears flowed down his face.

"Thank you young master, young master has a heart."

Xu Jingchang didn't say anything, he just left the mansion and went to the Ministry of Officials.

Needless to say, as soon as Xu Jingchang arrived at the Ministry of Officials, Shang Shu Jian Yi was waiting here.

"Young Marquis, I will call you Xu Tongzheng from now on."

Xu Jingchang hurriedly bowed and said, "Heavenly official, I will rely on you to take care of me from now on."

Jian Yi smiled kindly. He invited Xu Jingchang into the lobby of the Ministry of Officials. Grace is mighty, but it is also inseparable from a person!"

Xu Jingchang was taken aback, "Who is this person?"

"It's your father, Marquis Wuyang!" Jian Yi sighed: "Your father once drew up a list for your majesty, that is, after entering the capital, he can promote the ministers who can be reused. Among them, I ranked first, and Xia Yuanji, the left servant of the household department, ranked first In the second place, we are all under your father's sect."
