Mingshi

Chapter 1009 Solicitation
"Don't worry about it." Luo Xin said with a smile: "When I was the secretary of Shibo and the prefect of Hangzhou, I often came here for breakfast. That old man knows me."

"Oh……"

Xu Shixing couldn't help sighing in his heart, and realized his own shortcomings.

Look at Luo Xin, who went deep into the people, no wonder he was able to achieve such great achievements.With a look of shame on his face, he said:

"The next official should learn from the adults."

Luo Xin was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "You think I'm going deep into the people? Knowing the sufferings of the people?"

"Isn't it?" Xu Shixing was also taken aback.

"It's not without reasons, but the main reason is not this."

"What's that?" Xu Shixing asked curiously.

"Because I am a foodie, the best food is not in restaurants, but in these snacks, this snack is the purest local food. Therefore, when I was in Hangzhou, I ate all kinds of snacks in Hangzhou. "

"Ah?" Xu Shixing only felt that the idol in his heart was shattered.

"coming!"

Luo Xin smiled and signaled that at this time, the old man brought over three bowls of wontons, and Luo Xin picked up the spoon and said:
"Began to eat!"

Seeing Luo Xin's delicious food, Xu Shixing also felt his appetite whetted. In less than a quarter of an hour, Luo Xin ate up a bowl of wontons, touched his stomach and said:

"This is a nostalgia. You can't eat such pure small wontons in the capital."

The old man laughed until his eyes narrowed.After the three of them finished eating, Xu Shixing wanted to take out the money, and felt embarrassment on his body, and he came out in a hurry without any money.With long eyes, Lu Daqing took out the copper coin and handed it to the old man, and the three of them got up and walked towards Shibosi.

"My lord, what are we doing today?"

"Do nothing. I haven't been to Hangzhou for a long time, so I'm going to play around today. By the way, I'm going to West Lake today."

"Ah?" Xu Shixing looked at Luo Xin in surprise: "This..."

"Don't worry." Luo Xin said lightly: "Now that the time limit has been given to the Xu Mansion, and Jin Yiwei is watching, there is nothing to worry about."

"But...even if this transaction is completed, what about the future? What about those pirates? What should we do?"

"Take one step at a time, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin said with a chuckle: "We are putting pressure on the Xu family, so I put on a posture of waiting to see if the Xu family can't fulfill His Majesty's will, and prepare to raid the house. Only in this way can the Xu family not dare to play tricks." With your heart, use the most positive attitude and the shortest time to complete the task. You must know that the Xu Mansion is used to being arrogant, and if they don’t put pressure on him, they may not try their best. I don’t want to really ransack the Xu Mansion.”

"Understood!"

Xu Shixing not only admired Luo Xin's wisdom, but also admired Luo Xin's heart.If it was someone else who had such animosity with Xu Jie, he might have longed to confiscate Xu's house, but Luo Xin didn't have this idea.After thinking about it, he tentatively asked:

"You really don't want to ransack Xu's house?"

"I don't want to!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "It's a personal grievance between me and Xu Jie, and I can't implicate the entire Xu Mansion just because of Xu Jie alone. Moreover, today's Daming still needs Xu Jie, and King Yu also needs Xu Jie .”

Xu Shixing was silent for a moment and said, "Lord Luo, are you really ready to support King Yu?"

"Do I have a choice?" Luo Xin smiled lightly.

"That's right!" Xu Shixing couldn't help laughing.

"Ru Mo, what do you mean?"

In fact, when Luo Xin came to Hangzhou this time, he had another important task, which was to completely pull Xu Shixing into his camp.Don't forget, if Luo Xin didn't appear, Xu Shixing would be the number one scholar, and he would also be in the cabinet in the future.

Xu Shixing is only young now, and his wisdom and methods in the officialdom are still immature. As he grows older, his experience in the officialdom is definitely at the leadership level in the officialdom.How could Luo Xin let go of such a talent?

Xu Shixing fell into silence. In fact, he was also optimistic about King Yu, but not King Jing.King Yu is generous, in the minds of scholars, this is a Ming emperor, but King Jing is violent, if he becomes emperor, it will be a nightmare for scholars, and also a nightmare for Daming.

It's just that he also understood in his heart that Luo Xin asked him what he meant, not whether he supported King Yu.Instead, he was asking if he would like to join Luo Xin's camp.

You must know that there are several camps supporting King Yu.

One for Xu Jie, one for Gao Gong, and one for Luo Xin.These three are the largest camps, and there are some small camps that can be ignored.

In fact, Xu Shixing didn't have many choices today.Now that he has completely offended Xu Jie, he can only choose between Gao Gong and Luo Xin.

Of course, he still has another choice, which is to not participate in this matter and sleep with whomever he likes.Who is the emperor has nothing to do with me.

However, how could an aspiring scholar make such a choice?

Scholars with this mentality have long since resigned and went back to study knowledge.

Xu Shixing was silent, and Luo Xin was silent.Luo Xin knew that he needed to give Xu Shixing time to think, so a group of people came to the West Lake, took a painted boat, and served food and wine.

There were only Luo Xin and Xu Shixing in the cabin of the painting boat, Lu Daqing was outside with four guards, and the other guards rented two more painting boats to follow behind.

Luo Xin and Xu Shixing chatted one after another, Xu Shixing was obviously out of shape, and later, the two of them didn't speak, and Xu Shixing fell into deep thought.

It was impossible for Xu Shixing to be alone, he also had ambitions, even more so.The choice he has to make now is between Gao Gong and Luo Xin.

On the bright side, the vast majority of people will choose high arches.It is not necessary for him to say the reason, Gao Gong is the second assistant of the cabinet.What is Luo Xin?
A left-hand concubine of Zhan Shifu who was left unused.

This is simply a position that has fallen out of favor, will there be a future with Luo Xin?

Although Luo Xin is also Yu Wang's teacher, Gao Gong and Xu Jie have been Yu Wang's teachers longer than Luo Xin.

Xu Shixing naturally didn't know Luo Xin's position in King Yu's heart. In his opinion, King Yu must value Gao Gong and Xu Jie.

but……

Going to Gao Gong, he followed Xu Jie back then, and naturally obeyed Xu Jie's arrangements, and did many things that offended Gao Gong. Would Gao Gong trust him and take him in?
Literati sometimes talk about integrity. A person who follows Xu Jie, even if he sincerely joins Gao Gong, will be looked down upon.It is difficult to gain the trust of others.

Regardless of Xu Jie's personality, Xu Shixing actually targeted the Xu family in Hangzhou. The Xu family's fall into this situation cannot be separated from Xu Shixing.How could such a person gain Gao Gong's trust?
Even if he showed his heart, those stubborn people would not believe it, but would despise him even more.

However, Luo Xin is different.
