Chapter 401 Questions

As the sky was getting dark, lanterns were hung in the garden. No one who had just come to inquire about the news did not leave and stayed for supper.

It was already late October, and later generations were about to wear down jackets. Xu Wei asked someone to send copper hotpot, and feasted in the main hall while talking about tomorrow's court recommendation.

On the other side of Suiyuan, in Qian Family Restaurant, there were also many people talking about the same thing at a banquet.

In the private room in the courtyard, an official in his thirties was worried, and the food in front of him had not moved at all, and he could only drink the stuffy wine one by one.

"But Brother Xiu, don't worry. Xianju is close to Jinhua. Even if Japanese pirates plunder Taizhou, the old man will definitely be safe and sound."

The person who spoke was Zou Yinglong. After being kicked away by Qian Yuan twice, he quickly became the recognized Xu Party... In fact, Xu Jie's attitude towards him was so average that he did not get any good positions when he selected an official and joined the pedestrian department.

But unexpectedly, Xu Fan and Zou Yinglong had a very good relationship... Well, this is understandable, he was beaten by the same person.

At first, Xu Fan still had fantasies, but within a few days he understood that even if he was his father-in-law, it would be useless. Qian Yuan didn't take himself seriously at all.

So, when Zou Yinglong came to flatter him, Xu Fan naturally made up his mind... Later, there were Dong Chuance, a Jinshi of Huating, and Wu Shilai, a Jinshi of Xianju County, Taizhou. Several people often came to Qian’s restaurant to drink... Anyway, Xu Fan could owe any debts.

The "Brother Wei Xiu" mentioned by Zou Yinglong refers to Wu Shilai. He was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing and was elected as the Promoter of Songjiang Prefecture. This year he was transferred back to the Central Committee of the Beijing Ministry of Justice to serve as the Minister of Justice.

"Taizhou magistrate Tan Zili is both civil and military, and Ning Shao's Taishang General Qi Jiguang is a famous general. Taizhou Prefecture should be worry-free." Dong Chuance said slowly: "The Japanese invasion in Taizhou is mainly concentrated in Songjiang, Suzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, Ningbo, and Taizhou."

"Qi Jiguang? Famous general?" Xu Fan, who was drunk, snorted with a snorting, "Isn't that guy who made him famous in Beijing!"

Dong Chuance did not change his expression and raised his glass and said, "To be fair, Qian Zhancai's vision is indeed good. Just look at the scholar in Suiyuan."

Dong Chuance was from Huating. He visited the Suiyuan several times and had a good relationship with Yang Quan, a Jinshi of Huating and Lu Yipeng, among the scholars of Suiyuan.

Seeing Xu Fan's face unchanged, Zou Yinglong quickly changed the topic, "Tomorrow, I don't know which old man goes south..."

While talking, Zou Yinglong looked at Xu Fan's expression. He had already seen it. The eldest son of the second assistant in the cabinet was a person who could not hide his words.

Xu Fan was about to speak, but Wu Shilai, who had been drinking over there, snatched up in front of him and said, "On the seventh day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day... it was really puzzling."

Xu Fan was confused when he heard this, and Dong Chuance explained a few words in a low voice. Generally speaking, it is understandable that the court did not confirm the successor to leave for a while. But now it is wartime, and Ruan E was convicted and imprisoned, so he should immediately recommend the next governor of Zhejiang.

Dong Chuance glanced at Xu Fan and tentatively said, "The most puzzling thing is why Your Majesty has an order, and the court will recommend it tomorrow."

Xu Fan thought about it and said, "It should be related to the battle report sent today?"

Not to mention Wu Shilai and Dong Chuance, even Zou Yinglong complained in his heart. This sentence is nonsense. The key is why the battle report sent today is related to the court's promotion of the governor of Zhejiang.

No news was found from Xu Fan, and Ju Yin's thoughts were fading, and it disappeared in a short while. Xu Fan returned to Xu Mansion with a red face.

As soon as he entered the main courtyard, he heard a crying sound inside. Xu Fan frowned, rubbed his eyebrows and coughed loudly. He saw that a maid came in to report, and then he slowly walked in.

Sure enough, although my sister had tears, her eyes were swollen. Zhang looked angry. When she saw Xu Fan coming in, she immediately mocked: "Your son-in-law has made great contributions again. Why are you a Shuji Shi? She is quite a match for being a military general."

In such a gentry family, saying such words is considered a humiliation... Now it is not as good as the early Ming Dynasty, nor is it as the late Ming Dynasty. Now civil officials regard military generals as slaves and do not take them seriously at all.

Xu Fan curled his lips and barely gave a gift. For the past six months, he has been slandering every day. This person always wants to sarcastically and sarcastically, and he is annoyed by the fact that he has to listen to it.

"My little sister is older, and she hasn't gotten engaged yet." Xu Fan obviously drank a little too much today, and said with his tongue wide, "I'll see that Zou..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Fan burped, Miss Xu Si turned around and walked back... Zou Yinglong had already tried several times.

But not to mention that Miss Xu Si refused, even Zhang refused... She was not afraid of not knowing the goods, but was afraid of comparing goods. Although she was a Jinshi in the same year, Qian Yuan was a Shujishi, and you, Zou Yinglong, only entered the pedestrian department.

Qian Yuan is famous all over the world, and Jian is in the heart of the emperor. The name of Suiyuan has been known throughout the world with the word of mouth of the new Jinshi and the failed scholars. Zou Yinglong is unknown and comes from a remote Lanzhou.

Qian Yuan has the art of Tao Zhu, Qian Yuan is handsome, Qian Yuan is only twenty years old... The more he thinks about Zhang, the more unhappy it is.

What made Zhang most angry was that Zou Yinglong was already married and had children. His wife died two years ago... I am Xuxian, and my daughter also needs to do Xuxian?

Not bullying people like this!

The final result was that Xu Fan was scolded and came out in a mess. Before he could go back, Xu Jie sent someone to call him to the study.

"I've been at home honestly these two days, don't go out..." Xu Jie lowered his head and looked at the letter. When he looked up, he saw Xu Fan, who was still drunk on his face, and shouted: "Have you gone to drink again?!"

Xu Fan was shocked and his drunkenness immediately faded away. Since the trouble last year, the family law has officially changed from a ruler to a rattan.

"It was with Zou Yinglong and Wu Shilai, and Dong Chuance gathered at the Qian Family Restaurant." Xu Fan immediately replied: "The latter two are from Southeast, and I want to find out tomorrow's recommendation."

Xu Jie sighed and stared at the jumping lamp flowers in a daze. After Li Mo got out, Yan Song even covered the sky with one hand. The most important thing was that he did not expect that Wu Peng, who took over as the Minister of Personnel, was actually Yan Dang!

You should know that Wu Peng is from Xiushui County, not far from Huating. If you insist on it, he is half a village party in Xu Jie, not to mention that Wu Peng was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiajing, and Xu Jie was the same year.

Moreover, Cao Bangfu, who was strongly recommended by Wu Peng and Li Mo, had a good relationship. The two of them worked together to wipe out Shi Shangzhao's army and had a friendship with each other.

The most important thing is that the Wu family and Xu Jie can be linked to the in-laws relationship.

Xu Jie's second son got engaged to Lu Bing's three daughters, and Lu Bing's third son took Wu Peng's daughter.

Xu Jie did not expect that after Li Mo got out, the pressure on his shoulders increased instead of reducing. Grand Secretary Lu Ben temporarily held the Ministry of Personnel to complete the Beijing inspection in just ten days, and the power of the Yan Party was unscathed, and Wu Peng happily threw himself into the Yan Party's arms...

Xu Jie's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness. It seemed that Yang Jisheng was not enough... The people mentioned by Fan just now could be used. Zou Yinglong was too slippery, Wu Shilai, Dong Chuance...

At this time, Xu Fan asked carefully: "Ruan Yingjiang was dismissed from his post. He has not been promoted for more than ten days. Why is the court going to be promoted tomorrow?"

Xu Jie turned around and glanced at his stupid son casually. Xu Fan's drunkenness completely faded and he stepped back gently.

The same problem arose in Yan Shifan's villa.

Faced with Dong Fen, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Shifan raised his feet and said, "Before, the Japanese pirates plundered all over Susong and Jiaxing, cutting off the north and south canals, and even the war reports were cut off. Ruan E is still on the road."

"Now the Japanese pirates are gradually retreating, and the canal is not hindered, so?" Dong Fen didn't understand.

"What Your Majesty believes the most about the war report of the Ministry of War, the most detailed one is the memorial submitted by Lu Bing, but the one who trusts the most is Qian Zhancai's letter." Yan Shifan yawned. Of course he knew that Qian Yuan's letter could go straight to the West Garden, "Look, there will be some trouble tomorrow!"

Obviously, Qian Yuan has been so involved in the past few years, and his visit to Beijing last year left a deep impression on too many people.
