Idle courtiers

Chapter 392 the wrong way to open

Suddenly, Xu Jie threw the writing brush in his hand at Zhou Nan, and cursed: "Boy surnamed Zhou, you are so bold, you still have the face to meet this old man? Xu Xiang, the old man really misjudged you."

Zhou Nan was caught off guard for a moment, and he slapped him on the chest, leaving a little ink stain.

The fire in my heart suddenly ignited: "Gentlemen have friends, and villains have parties. If they agree, they will gather, and if they don't, they will separate. I am different from Xu Xiangdao, and I will not conspire with each other."

Xu Jie continued to scold; "Boy surnamed Zhou, since you came to the capital, I have seen that you are also a person, and I have supported you a lot. You can have today's future because of me, Xu Jie. Unexpectedly, the old man was bitten by you. This is the farmer and the snake!"

Zhou Nan was stunned by this scolding, what is Xu Jie's identity.The second assistant of the dignified cabinet, the senior of Shilin, usually regards himself as the head of Xinxue, and his status is there.When talking to people, he is also gentle and refined, with the demeanor of a prime minister who can hold a boat in his belly.Today's words and deeds are simply scolding by a shrew.

"Zhou Nan, tell me, how can I feel sorry for you, this old man, to ruin my Xu family's reputation by doing such a scandal?"

Now that the words have come to this point, Zhou Nan is not polite, and said with contempt: "Xu Xiang, Xu Xiang, what do you ask the officials to say about you? In the past, you were servile in front of Yan Song, and others said you were Yan Song. Fenyi’s little concubine. Someone gave you the nickname of Old Man of Gancao Pavilion, but that’s actually quite light. Do you know what people say about you behind your back, Mr. Turtle.”

"That's right. At the beginning, Zhou Nan was favored by your old man, so he was considered a student of the Xu family. However, our Xu family's reputation is really bad. Not only me, but even Zou Yinglong can't hold his head up in front of others. You know this Why did your students and disciples leave you one after another in [-]? It's because your reputation is so bad that we are ashamed to see others."

"Other people change the door, and Mr. Ge knows that he is wrong, so he let himself go, but Zhou Nan left, and you became angry with embarrassment. It's really strange. Haha, I know." Zhou Nan laughed angrily: "That's because Ah Jiu is pregnant Hey, it is indeed a disgraceful thing for the granddaughter of a dignified elder to have an affair with someone. But Xu Xiang, is it very embarrassing for the granddaughter of a dignified elder to be a concubine? Why do you Don't you feel ashamed? It's not because you are afraid of Yan Song's power and want to sacrifice Ah Jiu to confess to him. You are also a scholar, and your knowledge is much better than that of an official. So why do you read so many books? Gone? What you lack is integrity, a gentleman's strong bones, Zhou is ashamed of Xu Ge's old company."

This is a complete turn against Xu Jie. Anyway, in the real history, this old man will also be driven back to his hometown by Gao Gong in the last years of Longqing.In order not to be implicated, simply draw a line with him now.

Although Zhou Nan is also a person without integrity, he still has a bottom line.This old man Xu doesn't even have a bottom line, even a bad guy like him looks down on him very much.

The words that had been buried in my heart for a long time spewed out today, and I felt extraordinarily refreshing.

"You...you...good boy..." Xu Jie was trembling with anger, and he looked like he was about to hold back his anger at any moment: "You say, old man, what kind of person are you? Don't tell me I don't know what kind of person you are. A humble subordinate , villain!"

Zhou Nan: "Yes, yes, Mr. Xu, you are right. I, Zhou Nan, am a villain, and I am a subordinate official. But I, Zhou Nan, have an advantage that you cannot match. At least I know how to protect myself." Family members, fulfill the responsibilities of a parent and a man, and will definitely not push the family into the fire pit like the old man. Zhou is quite disdainful for the old man to treat Miss Jiu like this."

This is already a heart-breaking remark, Xu Jie was obviously furious by Zhou Nan, and he fell on the chair clutching his left chest: "Old man, old man, old man!"

His eyes were full of raging anger: "Good thief, you have already told the old man the truth of being a man, and what are the responsibilities of a man, what about you and Ah Jiu, you first give my Xu family justice."

Zhou Nan said angrily: "What can I say, since Zhou is here today, I'm not afraid, and I will naturally give you an explanation."

"Okay, I'll take care of you, you're a real man." Xu Jie sneered.

Zhou Nan scolded happily just now, and when he heard Xu Jie's words, he was suddenly startled: Oops, old man Xu has grabbed hold of his words, and I'm so angry that I'm telling Xu to leave it alone?
Just as he was about to round up his words, Xu Jie clapped his hands: "Words must be done, actions must be resolute, and people are trustworthy! Fan'er, come out and speak."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Fan walked in from the outside, and said with a smile on his face, "My son-in-law, since you are interested in my Zhi'er, please write down the marriage letter now, and prepare the dowry tomorrow, and ask the matchmaker to come to propose marriage. Zhi'er can marry you like this A young and talented man, feel great comfort for his father and elders!"

"I...you...ah!" Zhou Nan seemed to have been punched by someone, and was speechless.

He had just gotten into a ball with Xu Jie and his son earlier, but in a blink of an eye he became his son-in-law.I found myself a father for no reason, I feel aggrieved!

No, it must be the wrong way to open it.

It was premeditated, definitely premeditated.

Old Xu must have figured out that he would come to the door to argue because of his master's affairs, and he just waited for me to come to the door and throw himself into the trap!

As far as the motive is concerned, it is not because of the dispute between the chief and the assistant that I, Zhou Nan, are useful.

Zhou Nan really guessed right, the reason why Xu Jie betrothed Ah Jiu to Zhou Nan so generously was really for this matter.

In the political game rules of the Ming Dynasty, the outer court and the inner court are two different systems.Civil officials in the outer court represented the interests of bureaucratic landlords, while the inner court represented the imperial power.On the surface, it seems that the two systems do not interfere with the river water, and they do not communicate with each other when they are old and dead. This is what the emperor is happy to see.

But things in the world are not so simple. Eunuchs are also human beings, and they also have relatives. They also need the help of civil servants when they encounter problems.And civil servants also have to contact the inner court when handling government affairs, otherwise they will randomly pick some mistakes for you in the approval of the red, and your policy program will not be able to be implemented.

Between each other, as long as it is not a matter of principle, everyone will have some friendship.

In the previous episode, Xu Jie and Gao Gong fought fiercely for the position. This matter is of course important, but the emperor's opinion will also play a key role.

Some time ago, Xu Jie also sent someone to inquire about news from the inner court, wanting to know Jiajing's attitude.

After this inquiring, I was shocked to find that the emperor had no intention of establishing a chief assistant at all: it doesn't matter whether the chief minister is or not.Could it be that without the chief assistant, my cabinet is still in chaos?In fact, it doesn't matter if you mess up, I am not afraid.

Hearing this, Xu Jie almost spat out a mouthful of blood: I am not born to be strong, I am just destined to be cold.

He knew that Emperor Jiajing was a man who could say what he said, and he would never take the so-called ancestral family law court system seriously.In the final analysis, the system is determined by people, and it doesn't matter if I change it.

In fact, the so-called rules of the Jiajing Dynasty were completely broken by Jiajing. Establish a prince.

Since he can even do such a thing as not appointing a prince for life, it is so strange not to appoint a chief assistant.

If it goes on like this and the cabinet ministers take a step back, the power of the cabinet will be greatly weakened, and it may really become a secretarial organization.

I worked hard to move Yan Song down, and seeing that I was about to become an extremely human minister, I jumped out of a high arch.The matter of Gao Gong has not been settled yet, and the emperor no longer has a chief assistant.

Old man Xu felt that his life was very hard, and he had endured it for more than ten years, not to mention the bad reputation of being a turtle, everything he has now will be in vain.

He was already a little skeptical about life.

After inquiring again, it turned out that Zhou Nan came up with this bad idea.

Xu Jie naturally knew Zhou Nan's motives, he was taking revenge on the old man!
At this time, Old Xu Ge regretted it too much.This is why it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain, because a villain holds grudges and will seize every opportunity to take revenge on you.What's more, this villain is now serving your father, twelve hours a day, at least four hours can give you eye drops in front of the emperor, who can bear it?

In fact, Xu Jie and Zhou Nan turned their faces at that time because of anger.

After I got down, I thought about it carefully. The reason why I recruited Zhou Nan was because I didn't have any talents at hand.Secondly, Zhou Nan is indeed shrewd and capable. Going to the Weapons Bureau can be regarded as an idle game, which may come in handy at any time.

The facts gave Xu Jie a surprise, this little person in his mind actually radiated a bright light.Zhou Nan played a huge role in defeating Yan Song this time, and he can be said to be his number one hero.

Even a proud student like Zou Yinglong was compared by him.

If Zhou Nan hadn't been just a scholar, and if he had been a Jinshi, Xu Jie would have been of great use.

After kicking Zhou Nan out of the house in a fit of anger, Xu Jie also felt a little regretful.Originally thought that Zhou Nan would definitely not be able to compete with Wang Xijue in the Daolu Department.After all, Wang Xijue is from Prince Yu's Mansion, how could Zhou Nan, a small person, be his opponent.

This person's future is completely over, maybe he will pack his bags and go back to his hometown after working in office for three years.

As a result, Xu Jie was surprised. Zhou Nan not only gained a firm foothold in the Daolu Department, but also became a close minister of the emperor, and then put himself together.

"This old man is really arrogant, just to get rid of him in one breath, and destroy the Great Wall by himself, what's the point of doing this?" Xu Jie felt a great pain in his heart: "Such a person, if you replace him with someone else, let alone marry me a granddaughter , even if it is to marry a group, why not for the position of chief assistant? But why couldn't I figure this out at the beginning?"

Probably because this kid is too shrewd, he just wants to take advantage of the old man's influence, instead of sincerely taking refuge in him, this is why I feel a little disgusted with him, right?

Since the matter has been like this, since this kid can affect the emperor's mind and affect the ownership of the position of chief assistant, then restore this relationship and betroth Ah Jiu to him.

……

However, Xu Jie also knew that Zhou Nan was too difficult to deal with.Even if you give him a sugar-coated cannonball, maybe he will accept the cannonball and return it.

You have to be prepared to lose your granddaughter and lose your army. You have to make yourself willing to work for yourself, at least play a role in being the chief assistant.

Thinking of this, Xu Jie suddenly remembered Wang Shu's case.With an idea, he set up this game, and Jinghou Zhou Nan took the bait.
