Chapter 1054 Xu Jie's Psychological Change

King Yu paused in his footsteps, turned his head to look at Xu Jie, and said with a smile on his face:

"Master Xu, why are you here?"

"I'll take a look at Your Highness." Xu Jie walked towards King Yu with a friendly smile on his face.

"Is Master Xu okay?" But he didn't expect King Yu to ask such a question.

Xu Jie's face froze, and then he squeezed out a smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just..."

"Since it's fine, I'll talk to Master Xu in detail next time. I still have something to do."

After saying that, King Yu got into the sedan chair, and the guards protected King Yu and walked past the stiff Xu Jie, and soon disappeared from Xu Jie's eyes.

Xu Jie took a deep breath, looked at the guard at the door and said, "Where are you going, Your Highness?"

A guard replied respectfully: "It's going to Luofu."

"Roshin?"

"Ok!"

Xu Jie's face became very ugly, he flicked his sleeves, entered the sedan chair, and shouted:
"Go home!"

In Xu Jie's study room, Xu Luqing looked at Xu Jie's face of shame and indignation, and asked softly:

"Father, what's the matter? King Yu is not here?"

"Yes, Weifu met him at the door. He didn't ask Weifu to go in, but went directly to Luo Xin."

"Ah?" Xu Luqing exclaimed in surprise, and then his face gradually darkened.After a while, with a worried look on his face, he said:

"Father, King Yu..."

"Alas..." Xu Jie sighed and said, "Qing Lu, Luo Xin is talented in the cabinet. On the one hand, he is too young now. On the other hand, it is because His Majesty is afraid of him. So His Majesty has been suppressing Luo Xin. However, once King Yu ascends the throne, judging from the current situation, Luo Xin will definitely enter the cabinet. As a father, I still neglected King Yu before! I always think that I am the teacher of King Yu, and he is also the chief assistant of the cabinet. Even if it is King Yu Ascension to the throne, I dare not move my position. Now it seems that I take it for granted for my father."

After being silent for a while, Xu Luqing said in a low voice: "What does father mean, once King Yu ascends the throne, Luo Xin will enter the cabinet to replace father?"

Xu Jie waved his hand and said, "That's not true. Gao Gong will take the place of father, and Luo Xin will take Gao Gong's place."

Xu Luqing suddenly became nervous and said: "You mean that Luo Xin and Gao Gong will join hands to push you out of the cabinet?"

"Gao Gong has always wanted to take the position of chief assistant of the cabinet, but now it seems that the most important person in King Yu's heart is not Gao Gong, but Luo Xin. If King Yu insists on promoting Luo Xin to the position of The position of the chief assistant of the cabinet will inevitably lead to strong conflicts between me and Gao Gong. This matter cannot be accomplished.

However, if King Yu agrees to give Gao Gong the position of the first assistant in the cabinet, the condition is that Luo Xin enter the cabinet as the second assistant.Gao Gong will definitely agree.In this way, these two people will join hands to squeeze out the father. "

"This...what to do?" Xu Luqing was anxious.

He knew all too well what that meant.Now the Xu family is no longer what it used to be.The Xu family regretted the reputation of their two younger brothers, and many scholars switched to Gao Gong.If Xu Jie is dismissed again, the Xu family will soon decline.

"Father, is King Yu really irreparable?"

Xu Jie lowered his eyes and thought, the study room became silent, the air seemed to have weight, and it was crowded from all directions, making it suffocating.After a full two quarters of an hour, Xu Jie raised his eyelids, shook his head gently and said:
"Now King Yu has six teachers, Weifu, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Luo Xin, Yin Shidan, and Chen Yiqin. Yin Shidan and Chen Yinqin can be put aside, and they are still in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. In this way, only In order to be the father, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Luo Xin are four people.

To be honest, being a father and Gao Gong should have the same status in King Yu's heart.Think about it carefully, Weifu and Gao Gong's position in front of Yu Wang is different from Luo Xin's position in front of Yu Wang.

Gao Gong and I put ourselves in the position of Teacher Yu Wang, the real teacher, and ignored the status of the courtier.So there is more than majesty, but not enough family affection.

Before Luo Xin came, King Yu was afraid of me and Gao Gong.There are several reasons for this, on the one hand, King Yu is not the prince, on the other hand, Gao Gong and I are both in the cabinet.In the positions of the two of us, don't say that Yu Wang is not the prince, even if he is the prince, he must be careful with the two of us.Because the two of us stand in line, there is a great possibility to dominate whether he can become the prince.This is why he fears us.Thirdly, even if King Yu becomes the emperor in the end, he still needs to rely on me and Gao Gong to rule the world for him. Therefore, whether he is just a His Royal Highness now or an Emperor in the future, it will make him I have to value the two of us, and fear the two of us in my heart.

not to mention……

King Yu was originally a cowardly person!

Gao Gong and I are like two big trees, and he, Yu Wang, is just a vine attached to the two of us.The reason why Gao Gong and I are willing to support Yu Wang is not all because we are the teachers of Yu Wang, but also because we value Yu Wang's cowardly character.Only by supporting King Yu to ascend the throne can we realize the highest ideal of our scholar-bureaucrats.

King Jing has a violent personality, which is not something we can easily control.This is the reason why both of us chose to support King Yu, and it is also the reason why the two of us are strict with King Yu. We want King Yu to be afraid of us when he is still His Royal Highness, so that he can realize the status of emperor after he ascends the throne. But the real power is in the hands of our scholar-bureaucrats to realize our ideals of scholar-bureaucrats.

We have been doing very well, Yu Wang is very dependent on us, but also very afraid.If this goes on like this, I am sure that after King Yu ascends the throne, he will be able to realize his lifelong ideal and govern Daming in a smooth manner, comparable to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.Although there were Yin Shidan and Chen Yiqin at that time, they were just clowns.As for Gao Gong, he was not in the cabinet at that time, and even if he entered the cabinet later, his qualifications and ability were not as good as being a father.After King Yu ascended the throne, he must be the No. 1 father of Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the father sent Zhang Juzheng to King Yu early, and after the father retired, he supported Zhang Juzheng to the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet, which can keep our Xu family rich and honored for decades.

This is the father's plan, both public and private.

Being a father is not because of one's own mistakes. The teachers of the Li Dynasty all did it like a father.

But since coming to Luo Xin, everything has changed.At the beginning, Luo Xin became Yu Wang's teacher, but he didn't care about it as a father.It's just that there is another teacher. Although my father will no longer teach King Yu because he is in the cabinet, but with Taiyue there, my father is very relieved.Besides, Luo Xin's status in the court cannot be compared with being a father at all.King Yu should understand who is more important.
