"Do you really want to leave? You can leave after the Chinese New Year!"
Xu Renzhi lowered his head and looked at Xu Caining, who was sitting silently in front of him and his elder brother: "When I take office after the year, you can go with me. At least I can take care of you on the way. It's really not a good idea to go to sea in this weather.
idea!"
"Eunuch Wang is also going with me. If I don't go, it will be a bit embarrassing for Eunuch Wang to leave the capital!"
Xu Caining raised his head and looked at his eldest brother and brothers: "This is not what I meant, this is what the prince meant!"
"It's your Majesty's wish!" Xu Yunzhen's face looked a little solemn: "This is against the rules. Everything is against the rules. It is against the rules for Caining to go to Liaodong. It is against the rules for Wang Chengen to leave the palace!"
"Brother, there are some things that I didn't intend to say!"
Xu Renzhi looked at his elder brother timidly: "Do you still remember the last time I went to Dongjiang Town?"
"Well, I remember that you brought a lot of things to Jiang Wan, and you also brought back a lot of things that Jiang Wan gave to Caining..."
"Actually, before going to Dongjiang Town that time, His Majesty summoned me alone!" Xu Renzhi said bravely: "Actually, my main task is to convey a secret decree to Jiang Wan for Your Majesty!"
"What?" Xu Yun frame and Xu Caining both looked moved: "How can you keep hiding from us what the secret decree says about such a big matter?"
"I don't know!" Xu Renzhi looked at his brother and sister with an innocent face: "Your Majesty is mysterious, and Jiang Wan is also mysterious. I don't dare to read that decree. After Jiang Wan saw it, he
Burned, I originally planned to keep this matter in my stomach, but Caining also wanted to go to Liaodong, and I felt something was wrong, so I couldn't help but say it, let's go over the details, it won't be between Jiang Wan and His Majesty
What happened during this time!?"
"How is that possible!"
Xu Yunjie categorically shook his head: "Your Majesty has always trusted Jiang Wan. This time after Liaoyang fell, Dongjiang Town was able to earn some face for your Majesty. Your Majesty also promoted him to the commander of the Liaodong Capital Division without hesitation. This is a second-grade military position.
, If Jiang Wan can make a few more meritorious deeds, I'm afraid His Majesty will have to consider the matter of becoming a marquis!"
"How can it be so easy!" Xu Renzhi shouted: "How can it be so easy for me to become a knight in the Ming Dynasty!"
"I don't know about others, but for our family Jiang Wan, let alone being granted a title of marquis, I wouldn't be surprised if I was granted the title of duke when the time comes!" Xu Caining said proudly: "Why, do you think you are a bit embarrassed as a guard commander now?
What's wrong? Who told you to be so lazy? You are such an old man and you still have big brother watching you every day!"
"sister!"
"Okay!" Xu Yunzhen interrupted the daily bickering between the siblings: "Cai Ning, did Jiang Wan's family letter say anything about his side - the kind of things that are inappropriate to talk about in court?
"
"It's mostly about preparing money and food, and matters related to Sihai!" Xu Caining frowned: "Brother, you know, the money and food for Jiang Wan's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are mainly supported by Sihai Trading Company, and in the second half of the year, they will be provided to the palace.
I gave him 200,000 taels of silver, and things here in Sihai are complicated and tiring, so I still don’t have time to ask him about the military town!”
Xu Caining hesitated for a moment: "Besides, Jiang Wan has his own ideas when doing things, and I can't control them!"
"That means something still happens!" Xu Yun framed a look of worry on his eyebrows: "But until now, even I, Duke Dingguo, don't know about this matter. If something happens, or it's not a big deal,
Or, His Majesty deliberately kept it a secret!"
"There must be something wrong!" Xu Renzhi shouted: "Otherwise, a few months ago, the palace suddenly and inexplicably sent a supervisory army to Dongjiang Town. This thing is as ridiculous as His Majesty's Jinyi Guards sect that nourished Luo's character.
Just like a supervisor, if that's the case, Your Majesty might as well just replace Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards!"
"Your Majesty can change the commander of the Jin Yiwei!" Xu Yunzhen pondered thoughtfully: "But your Majesty is afraid that he cannot and dare not suddenly replace the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town. That night, Jiang went to Dongjiang Town to suppress the mutiny and improve military discipline.
In the past, if he could fight against the Tatars and achieve consecutive victories, he must have completely controlled the troops of Dongjiang Town. Your Majesty wants to change the general soldier. Even if Jiang Wan is willing, I am afraid that Dongjiang Town, which has just been reorganized, will immediately
There's going to be trouble!"
"Go to the palace tomorrow. If you can't see His Majesty, then meet Wang Cheng'en. Since he wants to go to Liaodong in your name, he will definitely see you!"
Xu Yunzhi thought for a while: "Let's see if we can refuse this trip. In the name of being unwell, we can go to Sihai to a trading firm in the south to recuperate. As for going to Liaodong, Ren Zhi is going to Liaodong to take up a job anyway. You siblings
As one body, it makes sense for Wang Chengen and Ren Zhi to go together!"
"But..." Xu Caining stopped talking.
"Jiang Wan's blood is by your side!" Xu Yunji glanced at her lightly: "As long as you avoid this opportunity and don't go to Liaodong, when you get to the south, with your strength from all over the world, you are going to Liaodong, aren't you the only one?
Is it a matter of thoughts?”
He sighed slightly: "When you get there, no one will be able to care about you!"
"Brother, this is a safe approach!" Xu Renzhi nodded: "If Your Majesty really relies on Jiang Wan and values the situation in Liaodong, your request will definitely work!"
"That's it!" Xu Yunzhen said: "But Caining, you are from my Xu family, so you naturally know the foundation of our Xu family's foundation in the Ming Dynasty. Since our ancestors were ennobled to the eldest brother's generation, our Xu family has enjoyed the enshrinement of the imperial court, so naturally it is the same
With the country, if you can come to Jiang Wan, as his legal wife, if Jiang Wan has any inappropriate thoughts, you must fulfill your responsibility as a wife and try to dissuade him!"
He looked at Xu Caining with bright eyes, faintly showing some worry: "When the country is in crisis, my Xu family will definitely repay the country's kindness and share the same fate with the country. If my brother and sister turn against each other in the future, what will we have to do?"
Meet my ancestors of the Xu family!"
"I understand!" Xu Caining nodded fiercely: "I understand brother's concerns, but I believe in my vision. Jiang Wan will not fail His Majesty or the court. He is not that kind of person.
!”
"That's best!"
Xu Yunjian let out a long breath: "Our Majesty's prestige is gradually increasing. Now even I, who often stay by his side, can't guess his thoughts. My eldest brother just wants the good of Ming Dynasty and your Majesty."
, I wish our Xu family well!"
The three brothers and sisters looked at each other and sighed: "We are all like this!"
