Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 437: Chief Censor
After listening to what Qin Ruhai said, the old lady fell silent.

When Xu Ming came to visit the old lady, the old lady did not hear Xu Ming talk about these things, but since Qin Ruhai said so, it means that this matter must be true.

Being the head of an institution with more than 8,000 people under his command and able to supervise all officials is a position that others would never dare to dream of.

If it were anyone else in the Xu family, the old lady would have gone to the ancestral temple to burn incense and thank the ancestors for their blessings.

But now, the old lady felt a little panicked in her heart.

This is not because the old lady has any opinion about Xu Ming.

Although the relationship between the Xu family and Xu Ming is rather ordinary, Xu Ming is still a child of the Xu family after all.

Moreover, the Xu family did not do anything excessive to Xu Ming.

Moreover, over the years, the Xu family has always wanted to get close to Xu Ming and has treated his mother well, and the relationship between the two has been restored a little.

Therefore, no matter how powerful Xu Ming is, he will not take action against the Xu family, because there is no need at all.

Even some of the personal connections that the Xu family has built up over the years could help him.

That’s right, the old lady felt that what His Majesty gave was really too much.

There were so many that even the old lady found it a little unbelievable.

If it were an ordinary family, it would be fine.

But the Xu and Qin families were already royal nobles.

It can be said that Xu Ming has truly become His Majesty's confidant.

Will Your Majesty think that Xu Ming’s power is too great and take action against the Xu and Qin families?
The old lady felt that it was not impossible.

But the old lady felt that she might be worrying too much.

After all, the two mansions only produced one person, Xu Ming, who was highly regarded by His Majesty.

Although the Dukes of Qin and Xu held high positions, they had no real power. They just received some salaries and never took sides in some party struggles.

"Grandfather, I wonder if Ming'er is in the courtyard." Qin Ruhai said with a smile, "The Jinyiwei has just been established, and there are many officials who need to be appointed. The children of our Xu and Qin families may be able to join the Jinyiwei."

"Nonsense!"

The old lady slammed the table hard, interrupting Qin Ruhai's words.

Qin Ruhai was startled and immediately bowed: "If Ruhai has said anything wrong, I hope the ancestor will forgive me!"

It was the first time that Qin Ruhai saw the ancestor so angry.

The old lady looked at Qin Ruhai and sighed:

"Ru Hai, you are already a grown-up person, you should know that too much is as bad as too little.

Your Majesty values ​​Ming'er so much now, naturally it is because he trusts Ming'er. If Ming'er were to be shoved into the Xu and Qin mansions with a few people, how would that be?

So, are these Jinyiwei from your Majesty, or from our Xu and Qin Mansions?"

Qin Ruhai was startled and said quickly: "The Jinyiwei is naturally your Majesty!"

The old lady nodded and said, "It's good that you know it's His Majesty. You must keep this in mind."

The old lady said to the maid beside her: "Go and tell the master that no one from the Xu or Qin mansion is allowed to ask Ming'er for an official position!"

"Yes, old lady." The maid nodded and walked out.

Qin Ruhai did not dare to continue asking about this matter, and changed the subject: "Grandfather, the ancestor worship ceremony is about to begin, please calm down, it was indeed Ruhai's fault just now."

"Ancestor worship." The old lady thought for a moment, "For this ancestor worship, who should burn the main incense? What do you think?" Qin Ruhai was stunned for a moment: "Of course, the ancestor will burn the main incense."

Old Madam Xu shook her head and said, "I am old now. I will leave this kind of blessing from the ancestors to you children. Let Ming'er take charge of this ancestor worship."

Xu Ming came to the mansion where Censor Wang lived.

After handing over the letter and informing the name, the guard learned that it was the top scholar who came to visit. He did not dare to be negligent and quickly ran in with the envelope.

Not long after, Chief Censor Wang Chong actually came out in person.

"Hahahaha. I didn't expect that my small place could have the top scholar come to visit in person. It really brings honor to my humble abode."

Wang Chong walked out of the door with a hearty laugh and bowed in front of Xu Ming.

"Wang Chong, the Imperial Censor! Meet the Commander."

"Lord Wang, this is unacceptable. It is the younger generation who should do the respect." Xu Ming quickly bowed in return.

"That's not the case. The commander's official position is much higher than mine," said Wang Chong.

Xu Ming smiled and said, "Since I am here to see Uncle Wang, I am not here for my official position."

Wang Chong looked at the high-spirited young man in front of him and was very satisfied: "Hahaha, OK, in that case, then nephew Xu, come in and sit down. It's almost noon now. Come and taste your aunt's cooking."

"Then Ming really needs to taste it."

Xu Ming was not polite and followed Wang Chong into the mansion.

Wang Chong's mansion was actually much smaller than Xu's and Qin's mansions.

The mansion is divided into outer courtyard and inner courtyard.

The outer courtyard is used to receive guests, while the inner courtyard is naturally where the family lives.

Wang Chong did not take Xu Ming to the lobby, but took Xu Ming to the study.

For most officials of the Wu State, the study was an absolutely private place, and ordinary guests were not allowed to enter the master's study.

"My nephew is truly a hero at a young age. I have always wanted to visit the Xu residence, but I am busy with work. I hope you will forgive me." Wang Chong poured Xu Ming a cup of tea.

Xu Ming smiled and said, "Uncle, that's not the case. I should be the one visiting you, but I'm busy all the time. Don't be angry, uncle."

As for what Wang Chong said about wanting to visit him, it was true, but because he was "busy with work", it was probably false.

Xu Ming also knew something about the relationship between his uncle and the Xu family.

In a word, his uncle seemed to look down on the Xu and Qin families, thinking that both the Xu and Qin families were insects that wasted national resources.

When Lady Wang married into the Xu family, this uncle was against it, but in the end Lady Wang's father agreed.

In fact, what this uncle thinks is indeed correct.

The masters of the Xu and Qin mansions basically did not do any serious work. If they had to make any contribution, it was that they made a lot of economic contributions to the entertainment industry of Wu State, especially brothels.

"Hahaha, nephew, I heard that you have been traveling outside, and as a result, you have learned a lot about how to behave in the officialdom."

As he spoke, Wang Chong opened the drawer, took out a memorial, patted it gently, and then handed it to Xu Ming with both hands.

Xu Ming took the memorial and asked in confusion: "Uncle, what is this?"

Wang Chong raised his lips and said, "Impeach your nephew."
