Idle courtiers

Chapter 333 Ruthless Rejection
By this time, the Xu family felt something was wrong.

Zhou Nan is so soft and hard, he seems to have something to rely on.

Therefore, the Xu family began to investigate Zhou Xingren.This investigation surprised me.

It turned out that this person surnamed Zhou used to be Tang Shunzhi's aide, and now he is Xu Jie's confidant.I heard that he still has some unclear relationship with Prince Yu's Mansion.

What Zhou Nan was dealing with was not the six ministers, but also the cabinet ministers and the future crown prince. Naturally, such people should not be taken lightly.

Only at this time did the Xu family feel the seriousness of the problem. This was no longer something that could be settled with a few good words from Miyun's scholars.

It happened that Xu Qian went to Beijing, and when he heard about this, he remembered that he and Zou Yinglong had a good friendship, so he brought Xu Yangda to Zou's house today, and happened to meet Zhou Nan.

Xu Qian's laughter was loud, echoing throughout the bookstore.

Before Zhou Nan could speak, Zou Yinglong said with a smile: "Brother Ping is serious. When you are young, you are passionate and impulsive, and conflicts between emotions are inevitable. When I was in Guizhou, because of different opinions, I also blushed when Uncle Ping slapped the table. ? Afterwards, don’t you also become a lifelong confidant?”

Xu Qian: "My nephew and Zimu quarreled, it was his fault at the beginning, this time it can be regarded as a lesson for him."

Zou Yinglong took care of everything: "Such trivial things are nothing to worry about. We meet and smile to wipe away our grievances. In two days, my mentor will give lectures in his home. During the introduction, not only the disciples of the heart, but also the learned scholars in Beijing will attend. Let Zimu go Your family has ordered your nephew to attend together, I don't know what Ping Bo wants?"

Hearing what he said, Xu Qian was delighted.

Zou Yinglong's arrangement was indeed appropriate. If Zhou Nan came to invite Xu Yangda in person, the two would naturally become good friends who did not know each other.Since they are good friends, the bet is not counted.

When Xu Yangda was young, he had great literary skills and was young, so he had great confidence in his future success as a Jinshi.The Xu family is a family of officials and eunuchs. Once he enters the official career, his future prospects are limitless, so he must do his best to protect them.

It's beneficial for both parties to sell each other's face.

The Xu family has inherited Zhou Nan's face, and they will naturally help each other in the officialdom in the future, and they will be like-minded.As far as the Xu family is concerned, Yan Song, the chief assistant, is already old, and even if there is no current trend of Yan Song, they will not be able to do it for a few years.The position of the chief assistant in the future will definitely fall on Xu Jie's head. Xu Yangda, Xu Men and Xinxue have got on the line, and they will also be supported by Xu Ge in the future.

It's just a few good words, but for the Xu family, it's a profit no matter how you look at it.

Xu Qian hurriedly said to his nephew: "When you grow up, why don't you apologize to Zimu?"

Xu Yangda stood up very unwillingly, made a bow, made a few muffled throats, and dealt with the matter.

At this point, it should be said that the matter has been satisfactorily resolved.

Zhou Nan smiled suddenly: "Mr. Xu, what are you talking about? I can't hear you clearly, can you say it again."

This is already molesting, Xu Yang blushed and raised his voice: "I was wrong that day, brother Zhou please forgive me."

Zou Yinglong realized something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Zimu, be more generous."

Zhou Nan suddenly said in a high-pitched tone: "In the examination room that day, Mr. Xu humiliated me a lot. The so-called, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated, and a gentleman should report his complaint directly. It is tolerable, which is unbearable. You Xu family thinks How can there be such a cheap thing in the world to reveal the festival with two sentences. Sorry, I can't accept Mr. Xu's apology, please go back!"

Zou Yinglong was dumbfounded, Zhou Nan... lost his mind and went crazy?Enemies should be solved rather than knotted. It is always a good thing to have one more friend in the officialdom.

What's more, Xu Qian has a very good personal relationship with him.

Zhou Nan's move not only disrespected the Xu family, but even directly slapped him in the face of Zou Yinglong.

Seeing Zou Yinglong's sluggish expression, Zhou Nan thought, "I can handle my own affairs by myself, so why are you doing it for me? Do you really think you are my teacher or a senior brother from the same school?"

"You... Zhou Nan, what a thief!" Mr. Xu felt that he had been greatly humiliated, and his fists creaked.If it wasn't for his uncle's presence, he would have rushed to fight Zhou Nan immediately.

Xu Qian also turned cold: "What kind of sincerity does Master Zhou want? Isn't the sincerity of my uncle and nephew not enough today?"

Zhou Nan stretched out his hand: "It's not speculative, Mr. Xu please!"

Xu Qian nodded: "Very well, Yun Qing, we still have friendship, don't hurt our friendship because of this. Raise us up, since they don't want to keep guests, let's go."

When the two left angrily, Zou Yinglong came back to his senses and said angrily, "Zimu, what are you doing? You pinch anyone whenever you see them. Why is that?"

He was completely outraged.

Zhou Nan suddenly smiled: "Yunqing, you know what Zhou Nan does. Do you think I'm a lunatic?"

Zou Yinglong: "Look..." He suddenly felt a twitch in his heart, he knew this junior from the Xu Clan very well, so it could be said that he had no plans to spare.The style of doing things is to make a decision before making a move, and never hold back a move.

He will never let go of every word and deed, and will never do useless work.

Moreover, Zhou Zimu, to put it bluntly, puts his interests first, so how could he offend the Xu family and a chief envoy?

"Could it be that Zimu's move has other meanings?"

"Naturally." Zhou Nan nodded: "I would like to ask Yun Qing three questions. First, where does Xu Fantai work?"

Zou Yinglong: "Fujian chief envoy, chief envoy."

Zhou Nan: "Second question, who is in charge of the military affairs on the front line in Fujian, and what is the background?"

Zou Yinglong: "Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Hu Zongxian, Yan Song's favorite student."

Zhou Nan's third question: "What is the relationship between the Fujian chief envoy and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang?"

"Fujian Chief Envoy is in charge of transporting Hu Zongxian's grain and grass." Zou Yinglong's eyes lit up: "Zimu, don't play tricks, just speak up."

"This has to be sold." Zhou Nan smiled slightly: "Yunqing, let me ask you, this time Mr. Xiao Ge came out of the mountain, and the hearts of the court were fluctuating. May I ask, if Xiao Yan is removed, can this situation be completely reversed? "

"Of course, Old Xiaoge's method is very vicious. If he can be dismissed from office and recuperate at home like Lao Yan, Yan's party will be left alone on the scene. If you stop thinking about it, it will only be a matter of time before the wind blows away."

Zhou Nan: "So what if Yan Shifan can be killed by the law of the country?"

Zou Yinglong was dumbfounded: "Beheading Xiao Yan... hiss... how is it possible? If Xiao Yan dies, people will be happy, and the Yan Party's traitor will never be able to turn himself around! Zimu, tell me quickly, what crime should Yan Donglou be charged with?" ?”

Mr. Zou was almost driven crazy by Zhou Nan's Guan Zi, and couldn't help but let out a groan.

"Tong the Japanese." Zhou Nan said lightly: "Let Xu Qian report Yan Shifan, and use Xu Yangda's fame as a negotiation condition. Master Xu has long been on the front line of fighting against the Japanese in Fujian. If he can provide evidence, great things will happen."

Zou Yinglong was shocked, this is a capital offense, how can you talk nonsense?The son of Xiao Yan, the dignified prime minister, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry, how could he be connected with the Japanese pirates who did not even have enough food and clothing? If he speaks out, he must be believed: "Is it possible to conspire against the Japanese? Is there any solid evidence? This matter... ...it's hard to believe."

Zhou Nan: "Yunqing, listen to me slowly."
